Russia Ups Ante with Caspian Neighbors by Moving Offshore
2011-11-22 17:34:00 On 16 November in Astrakhan Lukoil president, Vagit Alekperov told journalists that his company will spend over $16 billion over the next decade to develop the country’s Caspian offshore Korchagin and Filanovskii oil and natural gas fields in the Caspian, at the signing of a cooperation agreement with the Astrakhan Region. An equitable division of the Caspian’s offshore resources have bedeviled the region since the December 1991 implosion of the USSR, putting the Soviet Union’s previous cozy arrangements with the Shah’s Iran "into the dustbin of history," to quote Leon Trotsky. Before the collapse of the USSR, the Soviet Union and Iran effectively divided the inland sea amongst themselves, according to the terms of the 1940 Soviet-Iranian treaty, which . . . → Read More: Russia Ups Ante with Caspian Neighbors by Moving Offshore

FWP: Night Lights Concern Parker Neighbors
2011-01-19 03:20:00 What do you think? "The Francis Parker School intends to install 58-foot tall stadium lights on its playing field (along Lincoln Park West) and install artificial turf. The lights will be on at least 100 evenings a year, from 4 to 9 p.m. For more information, please visit. We appreciate the fact that Parker is entitled to make appropriate, legal use of its private property. But these lights (and the likely enhanced use of the field) are going to have a substantial impact on the park, the Conservatory and the Formal Gardens/fountain to the south, the Zoo, and the surrounding community."...

2010-07-05 21:26:00 A fascinating bookI thought about Peter Kilborn this 4th of July.You might not know Kilborn, but he's written one of the more intriguing books in the last decade, Next Stop, Reloville: Life Inside America's New Rootless Professional Class. The book looks at the growing number of homeowners across the country who move from city to city because of their jobs. It's not easy for these people to make connections to their neighbors, largely because they're always on the move, usually leaving a community after three or four years when their employer transfers them again.I interviewed Kilborn in 2009 for a story I wrote for the real estate section of the Washington Post. In that story, Kilborn told me of homeowners...

They Worked Hard For The Money
2009-11-09 19:02:00 My boys and their friend decided they wanted to earn some cash last weekend. Yes, I said EARN. My children, who haven't earned an allowance in months because they can't do a couple of simple chores without being pestered, were going to do some hard labor!I'm as shocked as you.They grabbed some rakes and began knocking on our neighbor's doors. Mr. P., who lives across the street, was their first taker (which was very sweet as he has a lawn service).He told the kids that he would pay them $2.00 each to rake the front lawn. They accepted and jumped right in; putting their nose to the grindstone.After about fifteen minutes, they knocked on Mr. P.'s door."Can we quit now?" They asked.Mr. P. tried not to laugh and said, "What do you mean? You still have a lot to do!""But there are soooooo many leaves!"My neighbor thought for a second and looked around at his yard. "You know, there are more leaves here than I originally thought. Tell you what, I'll give you $5.00 each if you can fini...

Making Cheese Empanadas With The Neighbors
2009-02-11 19:20:00 Being a former restaurant owner and foodie, I love learning about local foods. Costa Rica is blessed with some of the best fruits, vegetables, fish etc. in the world but local cuisine is sometimes lacking creativity and strong flavors.Since moving to the country, my neighbor Mariellas has been inspirational in teaching me some local favorites. We just planted an organic vegetable garden that both our households will share and we also have plenty or oranges, limons and bananas on our land.On a lazy Sunday, our neighbors invited us over to make cheese empanadas. Their family has cows and makes the local cheese which is a fresh cheese that looks like a cross between tofu and feta. Often the corn comes from our garden. A couple of weeks before, Mariellas taught me to make fresh corn tortillas. Together we husked our corn, then Hormidas and I took turns grinding it with a hand grinder. The tortillas were like none I had ever tasted before.We made the dough with cornmeal, salt, grated che...

Do you know your neighbors?
2008-09-04 00:41:00 "Megan's Law" imposes requirements on sex offenders, like that they register where they live.

Fewer neighbors, more Mac Book Airs. That's my motto.

We used to live next door to a guy who would, every time he saw us outside, come over and talk. And talk and talk and talk. He drove me nuts-- I'd go outside to read the paper, and he'd come over. I'd be playing squirtguns with the kids, and he'd come over and talk. I'd be doing yardwork, and he'd come over and talk.I would have put up with that neighbor if, like the Sproutwells, I was always getting cool packages of stuff from freshfunds. Freshfunds is an eBay like site where you can bid on prizes.All you have to do is join up -- it's free- and then using the points you get from the healthy snacks you're already buying, log in to bid on great prizes -- like the one I'm going to bid on, the Apple Mac Book Air-- a notebook computer I can carry in my pocket, practically.

Poor Monkey Boy has started equating getting dressed with going bye bye. Because that's when we change out of our PJ's.

Noisy Sex and Noisy Neighbors Part II
2008-05-23 04:55:00 Akhir-akhir ini rumah kost an saya semakin gaduh saja oleh anak muda yang bermacam-macam. Pada siang hari mereka ngobrol dan merokok. Gadis-gadis dan ibu-ibu segar yang lewat sore hari selalu mereka sapa dengan cara yang semakin canggih.Jika malam tiba musik dibunyikan, gaple dibanting, kelakar demi kelakar diluapkan dan Internet antar RT sibuk dengan berbagai 'dialog kebudayaan'. Satu demi satu anak-anak tercinta itu akan tertidur di tempat yang spontan.Beberapa hari ini amat jarang saya pulang dan tidak beredar diantara mereka. Ketika malam itu diam-diam nongol lewat pintu belakang, terdengar anak-anak itu bercengkrama, menggambarkan betapa negeri ini 'amat makmur dan sejahtera'.Saya masuk kamar, menenggelamkan diri di dalam udara yang lembab dan agak penuh penderitaan. Sunyi bilik saya yang tidak saya sapa sebab kami sudah karib sedemikian rupa berabad-abad lamanya. Dari dalam almari kayu yang agak lapuk terdengar suara meong-meong kecil.

Noisy Sex and Noisy Neighbors
2008-05-18 06:35:00 "Our neighbors complain about our noisy sex. What should we do?This is a fascinating dilemma, and one that probably exists for many college marrieds -- and parents of young children, too. First, I am stunned that you have received complaints about your lovemaking from neighboring students. Is this a sign of their jealousy that you two are going at it and they are not? Or are you mimicking an 8.2 earthquake and scaring them out of deep sleep?The orgasm-directed coaching that I do involves teaching both men and women how to open up their ability to make sounds when they release the orgasmic charge. Sounding, as I call it, is one of the ways to expand the intensity of orgasm. I certainly would not want you and your mate to lose this all-important feature of your lovemaking. Instead, I hope that you will find ways to keep your sexual patterns for vocalizing alive and instead find solutions for the spatial problems that surround you.Try some alternatives to your sexual vocal releases. Yo...
Unusual question from one of my neighbors
2008-05-14 23:21:00 I was talking to one of my neighbors today (they know we own a second property in the neighborhood). Anywho, they rent, and according to her, have been in the house 2 years now. They got the standard "intent to renew" and it was for the same rent amount as this past year. I saw the form, it's pretty standard and the amount they are currently paying is fair (if not slightly high) for the neighborhood.Well, apparently they turned in the form and a few days later received a call from their landlord. Now the landlord wants to increase the rent $100 per month for the next year (keep in mind the landlord has not signed the agreement yet, only the tenants). She asked if they could legally do that. I told her I thought they could (though morally I think it is wrong), but I wasn't 100% positive.So I thought I would ask all of you! I've never heard of something like this happening before, but I'm sure someone here has experience with it. Thanks!

The Creek is Rising
2008-04-26 23:36:00 Directly behind our house is a beautiful little creek. While it's rare for it to get high, there is always the question in the back of our mind about whether or not it will rise above the shoreline. While we find it to be a nice touch to the house, the creek ended up being a sensitive topic for our neighbors while they were trying to sell their house. Basically, they had to convince the potential buyers that the creek would their house. In other words, it rarely gets very high. Saturday afternoon I was on my way home when the bottom dropped out of the sky. Literally pouring down rain. I walk in the house, over to the window to look at the creek, and sure enough, it was on the rise. It figures Saturday was the first full day our new neighbors are living next door. I am sure they were sitting on pins and needles praying it didn't creap much further. Thank goodness, for everyone, it did not.

Goodbye neighbors
2008-04-22 02:50:00 As some of you know, we have lived in this house now for just over a year. What you may not have known is that part of the reason we were drawn to this house was because of the people in the area, including our neighbors. Our previous house was great, and the people on the street were great; however, no one was anywhere close to our age, and that drove us crazy. When we moved into this house, we were both thrilled that the couple who lived next door were around the same age as us, and pretty much in the same stage in their lives. Recently married with one dog and no children. Perfect match.It didn't take long before we started hanging out with them, and quickly met their large circle of friends. Everyone in their group is fantastic, and all welcomed us with open arms. A few months back, Brad and I had just been talking about how exciting it is that we found this house because of the opportunities it has opened up for us, including our social lives, and how blessed we are to ...
