Why Germans Don’t Drink Tap Water

Why Germans Don’t Drink Tap Water
June 1, 2013

When you go to a restaurant in Germany, a waiter will NOT bring you a complimentary glass of water. In fact, it’s almost impossible to get a glass of tap water in a German restaurant even if you ask for it.

Now the tap water in Germany is generally safe to drink, but the Germans usually don’t drink it, and the restaurants definitely won’t serve you a free glass of German water. The only water you can get at a restaurant will be bottled water with carbonation, or bottled water without carbonation.

What is the reason why no-one drinks tap water in Germany when it is perfectly safe to do so?

The reason is at least in part the word for tap water. In English, lots of good things come from taps. Beer comes from a tap, soda can be on tap, and of course the other meaning of tap, as in tap your fingers on the table is also positive.

But the German word for tap water is Leitungswasser which literally means plumbing water. Now if you offered someone plumbing water, well that’s slightly better than sewer water but it isn’t something you would do.

One of my biggest cultural mistakes in Germany was offering a friend of mine (who was probably very thirsty) a glass of ordinary tap water (Leitungswasser) and being surprised and somewhat offended when she wouldn’t take a sip.

So when you go to a restaurant, plan on ordering mineral water, with or without carbonation (gas) and never offer a German friend a glass of tap water.

    What a funny and interesting discussion. I’m a native of Germany and have been living in the US for over 20 years. I used to visit regularly, haven’t been back for about 10 years now, but will take my family to my hometown near Mainz/Wiesbaden in a week. I didn’t drink tab water in Germany when I was growing up. I think it was the association my parents had with the contaminated water during and after the war. Growing up, I only drank carbonated water. I drink A LOT of water and will have to drink tab water on this trip to save money and because it’s always available. My own parents might think that is very odd :)

    Thanks so much for the past contributions. I am visiting Munich now. When I boiled water in the hotel, I found a lot white residue at the bottom of the water. I tried a different kettle but the result was the same. However, surprisingly, the tap water is crystal white. So I came here and found all the valuable comments. Thanks you guys a lot with my heart. Erica from HK.

    Thanks for sharing! When you get back let us know what your water experience was. :)

    Erica –

    You are welcome! This mineral content in the water is what we in America call ‘hard’ water – usually containing a high enough level of Iron and Lime that the water will leave residue in places where it runs for a long time, drips, or is often boiled (coffee urns, boiling pots, sinks, tubs, etc). Filtering and softening removes a LOT of these minerals and makes it safer to drink from the tap.

  5. Audrey

    We lived in southwestern Germany for a year, and found that asking for tafelwasser in restaurants usually resulted in a 500 ml carafe of tap water.

  6. mq

    I’m often in Germany and I carry a small bottle that I can fill. The leitungswasser in the Taunus region is outstanding and superior to the drinking water in nearby Frankfurt.

    I will often inquire “Kann Man, die Leitungswasser trinken?” (Is the tap water suitable for drinking?) The answer is usually a surprised “Ja,Naturlich!”

    If you’re drinking bottled water, check the sodium content on the label. You’ll soon figure out why the bottled water is leaving you thirsty.

  7. Vjd

    Great conversation. I’m in Bavaria Germany now and have been perplexed by the lack of available tap water. The tap water here tastes good! (And I am very fussy about water) In restaurants plain water costs anywhere from 2,20 to 3,75 euros (beer is generally around 2,60 to 4 euros). I too drink a lot of water so I’m filling containers rather than buying all those bottles.

  8. Weihnachtsmann

    I would say that drinking tap water is actually encouraged within most families in Germany. My mother always said that carbonated water is just a waste of money. We only bought some bottles when we expected visitors for birthdays etc.

    Tap water is indeed something you don’t want to offer your guests directly. But in the end it’s how you approach things:

    If you get asked for a glass of water you usually mention that you only got tap water and if that’s okay (“ich habe aber nur Leitungswasser, wenn das okay ist…”). Most of the time the guests will say yes of course, because it would be rude to refuse it or ask for something else (more expensive).
    And to be honest: guests refusing to drink tap water are idiots.

    On the other hand it’s totally fine to ask your host for a glass of Leitungswasser and even considered polite and frugal, as you don’t want to “trouble” your host etc.

    That being said, I live in Cologne and prefer buying carbonated water since the tap water has quite some limescale. Plus gassed water “tastes” a bit more refreshing :)

  9. Nick

    I wonder how much it cost to buy a bottle water (in liter)in Germany. Thanks!

  10. destinee

  11. Matt

    As a German who visited Canada I was really surprised that you get free water in every restaurant, but positively surprised of course. I actually always drink tap water since it’s much cheaper and tastes perfectly good. I can’t imagine that someone would get seriously offended when you offer him or her tap water to drink 😀

  12. thomas

    Audrey –

    Thanks for letting us know. Might be a regional thing. Could also be a local water treatment that made the tap water much more desirable.

  13. thomas

    Great info!

    Did you know that sodium levels in water actually help the body retain that water more effectively, thereby creating a more hydrated body? As the sodium is used the water bond is broken and the water is released. There’s a trend in the health awareness communities of using a product called ‘sole’. Check it out.

  14. thomas

    Weihnachtsmann –

    Thanks for sharing your insights. Water is a peculiar thing and everyone seems to have their own preferences. I prefer, here in the states, at least a filter for the chlorine. My preference is ionized distilled alkalized water with just a tiny sprinkle of pink salt for mineral content.

    Pure and refreshing.

  15. thomas

    Nick –

    Great question! I wonder if anyone will respond with a recent value they recall from their visit.

  16. Glenn

    Cost us between Euro 0.35 and 0.50 for a 1.5 liter bottle in the supermarket, didn’t bother to drink water in the restaurants because beer was cheaper, no contest.
    We were in Germany mid September 2013

  17. beau

    Water is cheap here in the markets, like .19 per 1.5 liters! but you also pay a Pfand(refund) upfront, per bottle, which is usually .25. That’s to encourage recycling, and you get it back when you return them to the stores. We used to do this with glass bottles in America when I was a kid, but I’ve rarely seen it since the 1980s. so, a 6 pack of 1,5 litre bottles is 1.14 EUR plus 1.50 in Pfand equalling 2.64 for 9 liters of water, 1.50 of which you get back if you return the bottles afterwards! so pretty damn cheap! So like really it’s about $2 for over 2 gallons. Beat that America! However, if you buy water in a restaurant, it’s steeply marked up, as listed above. I once bought a liter of still water at a cafe across the street from my house, and was charged 4.95 Euro! so, nearly $7 per liter. As opposed to the .12/.13 cents per liter from the store. That was the last time I did that! Hope this was helpful. By the way, I live in Frankfurt, and the Leitungswasser is just fine. There is just lots of Kalk(calcium, limestone, whatever) in the water in all of Germany it seems. But I’m from KY and TN, so I’m used to it. Great water for making booze! :) Cheers!

  18. Jasmin

    I’m German… Yes it’s true that you usually don’t order tap water in restaurants or offer visitors tap water but I like tap water, especially in summer with ice. I also know many people who like to drink it. The main reason that you don’t order or offer it to other people (except you don’t have anything else at home at the moment), is rather etiquette than anything else. The word Leitungswasser also has nothing to do with it, it has no negative association in German.

    Just my opinion ^^

  19. Ginette

    I grew up for the most part in Germany. German mother French father. It is true Germans don’t drink tap water “generally”. However growing up we were very poor and all we had to drink was tap water and that is what we were made to drink. At my grand parents I got to drink limonade which is a carbonated lemonade or I drank bottled water. But that was only at the grand parents. They had a bit more money. My grand mother would have never let me drink tap water. :-)

  20. Becky

    We will be visiting Germany for the 1st time. We’ve never been to Europe. After a tour of Frankfurt, we will be visiting friends in Lahr. They will be keeping us in their home. We drink tap water. Any advise for water lovers? Thanks!

  21. tap water experts

    Hello everybody,

    we are a group of germans who are discussing this topic in our english lesson. We think that german tap water is excellent quality. Research has found, that bottled water isn’t superior to tap water. In fact, tap water in germany is better controlled than bottled. Taste it and save energy and the environment, not to mention money for the good german beer!

  22. patrick maass

    Hi guys im born and raised in germany. I moved to the us when i where 26 so seven years ago. In germany i drink tap watet, the reason for drinking good quality bottle water is the bottle doesnt has a five dollar bill on it. A good bottle of water is about .49 cent.

  23. Alexander Schikora

    Hi there, I am German. Living in Frankfurt. Mineralwater costs for 1L 0,79 € for a good brand, cheaper water is about 0,49 € for 1 litre.
    I don’t drink tap water because I don’t like the taste. But I also don’t like some bottled waters like Volvic or Nestlé Aqua… But the tap water quality is not just “good” as mentioned, its superior! Because it’s better controlled than bottled water, by law.
    Trivia: A synonym for Leitungswasser is also “Gänsewein” which translates to goose wine. Try asking for Gänsewein in a Restaurant :p

  24. Laura

    Hi! I’m colombian, and i’ll be living in Mannheim 6 months, and i have brought an infussion from Colombia wich usually gets pink with hot water, but here it became green!! Don’t know if its the water or the infussion, but i think that generally water is better in Colombia, tap water and bottled watter taste better, and don’t have wierd residues…

  25. thomas

    Laura –

    Thanks for sharing that experience. Do you know why the water turns pink or green? I would find drinking filtered water that came out colored to be very peculiar!

  26. Erica

    I’m travelling to Germany soon. Here in the U.S., I carry a stainless steel bottle of water on walks, etc., and have a cup/straw on my desk that drink water from all day. I’m used to drinking A LOT of water! Any suggestions for my trip? If I bring my bottle, where would I fill it?

  27. Bastian

    Thank you very much for sharing that interesting experience. I come from Germany but live in Thailand and go to school here. Every 6 months I go back to my hometown Wiesbaden near Frankfurt. I realized even if the quality of the tap water is very good, everybody in my family is drinking bottled water, and that just because of personal preferences. It kinda shocked me and now I’ve decided to write a paper on the bottled water consumption in Berlin and every time I go to Germany now, I drink tap water!

  28. George

    I have a question. We have German friends from Berlin arriving in a week. The husband told me that he drinks water out of the tap. Today the wife told she drinks only “water with gas”. Does that mean mineral water. I only drink bottled water when we are traveling and tap water is not readily available. What is a good brand of “water with gas” that I can purchase here in the USA

  29. Brent Van Arsdell

    Yes, if a German says that he only drinks water with gas, it means he only drinks carbonated mineral water. The Borjomi brand is widely available in the USA and I think also well known in Germany.

    Perhaps some Germans can tell about brands of water that are widely available in the USA and also in Germany.

  30. thomas

    Erica –

    Your best bet is probably to buy gallons of filtered water from a local market and use it to refill your carry along bottle with when you are back at your resting area. If you were to fill it while you were out and about you will likely just have to buy a plastic/glass bottle and recycle the bottle when you transfer the water.

  31. thomas

    Bastian –

    We’ve gotten a few reports recently that the tap water in Germany is getting better. Maybe they have installed a more modern water delivery filtration system that is more health conscious. The world today is rapidly moving towards health and wellness awareness. It’s no surprise that a great nation like Germany would move towards that same apparently global movement and help keep her Citizens healthy and strong!

    Do let us know how your paper comes along. We’d love to make sure our information is accurate for future explorers of Germany.

  32. Eva

    I lived in Germany, & US. I can say the water quality in the US has myriad contaminates that can be very harmful to your health & /or even cause cancer. German “wasser” is good,specifically mineral. I’ve been studying water quality for some time. I understand that bottled water anywhere is bad due to the plastic that leeches chemicals. I don’t offer my friends in US nor Germany tap water as I want to provide them with a healthy glass of H20. Glass is best!

  33. thomas

    Eva –

    Agreed! Glass is best. Water out of a tap is prone to contaminants based on the pipes that it was going through and the treatment process for sanitizing. Water all over the world is in jeopardy of industrial contamination too.

    I prefer filtered water stored in a glass container myself as well.

  34. Philip

    I’m German (currently living not too far from Ramstein Air Base) and for those of you wondering about the quality of tab water in Germany, I can assure you: No matter where you go in Germany, the water is ALWAYS perfectly safe to drink. Here there is no other food or drink that is as rigorously analyzed and controlled as drinking water/tab water, in fact the quality is often even higher than the bottled water you buy.

    The difference in taste of water (and probably also the effect on the infusion of the Colombian lady above) is due the different content of minerals in it as the water derives from different sources. Some regions simply have “harder” water than others.

    But back on topic: I drink both carbonated and tap water. I like carbonated water because I find it refreshing, but if I’m home and want a glass of water I’ll take it from the tab. But then again there is no logical reason why we should prefer one over the other …in the end it’s probably something that has become part of our culture over the years.

  35. thomas

    Philip –

    Thanks for the reassurance that the tap water in Germnay is of the highest quality. It is possible that when this article was conceived many years ago that the water conditions were different. As civilization evolves sanitation advancements will surely create differences in opinion based in personal experience.

    I, too, enjoy both natural gassy water and flat water. Each has its own unique quality.

  36. AJ

    Yes, here in US, we are spoiled- most restaurants will offer free tap water with ice and lemon. I visit Europe/Germany pretty often. My impression is that the “NO TAP watter” at restaurants is based on traditions and pure business (great markups!). The traditions come from the postwar/industrial times when tap water was not safe. But today… I cannot imagine unsafe tap water in Germany (if somebody does not agree with this, I would suggest them to visit China, Shanghai in perticular). BTW, many people here have mentioned Frankfurt/Wiesbaden area- that’s where the famous water filters Brita come from. My family has been using these for years and years in Europe and US. Not long time ago Brita introduced a small watter bottle-filter for travellers.
    Speaking of prices… The craziest price I have ever paid was $23 for 1L bottle in Moscow at a restaurant- more than the price for three shots of vodka :).

  37. Todd

    I am glad I found all these comments about the water in Germany as I will be traveling to Munich and Passau July 20-24th for a short business trip. I am from the US and live in a rural area where we have our own well so the water I drink has natural minerals in it. I travel to China about once a year and know that the water there cannot be consumed without being boiled so I was relieved to find the information I did here about the water in Germany. Thanks to all who shared their experiences and knowledge on the topic.

  38. wan

    Thanks for sharing. In Munich now and was wondering if the water from tap is safe to drink. Got my answer!:)

  39. Nat

    All of above is very good information. Most views seem to favor using the tap water. What are you thoughts about using tap water in a 4-star hotel bathroom for purposes of taking medicinal pills, brushing teeth, etc?

  40. thomas

    AJ –

    Thanks for the great info! You are right – there are some very poor water conditions in many places of the world. Most industrialized nations have pretty effective filtration systems. Many people have MUCH higher standards for drinking water than a municipal source. This is what makes water filters, in their many, many various forms, such a great tool!

    $23 is pretty steep for a bottle of water eh? WOW!

  41. thomas

    Nat –

    If in doubt, throw it out. Tap water is tap water. You might ask the hotel manager for a test report of the water they provide in the hotel. It could go through a secondary filtration system, or it could be tap water. They may even offer you complimentary bottled water if you claim that the tap water is not of a high enough standard for you.

  42. Sebastian

    Just some infos: 99% percent of the German tap water is perfectly drinkable,the regulations are stricter than they are for bottled mineral water. Those regulations go back to the early 70s, so it is not a new phenomenon.
    The exceptions are some areas where the water is not suitable for babys due to some natural radiation in the groundwater.

    I am 32, living in southeastern Germany, my parents always drank/drink tap water and so do I and most of my friends. But apparently tap water was unsafe in the years or even a decade after the war. Maybe this is where the preference for bottled water comes from, or maybe it was just great marketing by the bottled water industry. Carbonated water is prefered by many, thats why carbonation appliances are very popular here.
    Maybe one reason for the absence of free tap water in most German restaurants is the fact that most waiters get a salary and don’t have to rely on tips. This salary has to be paid with the revenue of the restaurant which often relys upon the drinks, and not the food.

  43. GeorgeyPorgy

    I am in a Frankfurt hotel now and looking to check if tap water is safe to drink. I now have my answers. Thanks.

  44. thomas

    Sebastian –

    Thanks for catching the possibility of an excellent marketing campaign! Many industries release half-truths or outright falsities in order to gain more sales.

    Only way to really know is to check the testing results for each different source with today’s standards. Last year is last year and now maybe the water is cleaner, or the bottled is less pure due to industrial processing with plastics.

    Any leads on publicly available water testing results for different sources, regions or localities? Here in the U.S. the municipal water tests are always made available as public knowledge, and most municipalities have a water company website with the results easily researched with archives.

  45. thomas

    GeorgeyPorgy –

    Glad to be of service! Enjoy your stay in Frankfurt!

  46. Sydney

    Hello! My family is stationed at ramstein air base and we live off base in Landsthul. I’m pregnant and have been EXTREMELY thirsty, resulting in our grocery trips being about 20$ More just because of the amount of bottled water I’ve been needing! Is the tap water safe to drink while pregnant? It would safe us a ton of hassle and money if it is! Thanks

  47. thomas

    Sydney –

    This inquiry sounds like you need some better medical advice than a language website can offer you. I would highly recommend seeking out municipal testing results for the local area you are living and drinking water in.

  48. Ami

    Now, i am in Frankfrut Airport, i was a Little Bit thirsty, so i just went to the bathroom and get the tap water. It is actually very normal in Denmark, I lived there for more than one year, and we always drink tap water, it’s free and tasty(no taste). But this time, I tasted the tap water here, I realized the taste is different, tap water in Franksfurt was not so tasty, I felt like there are something chemical element inside maybe. But, anyway I still drunk it.

  49. thomas

    Ami –

    Thanks for sharing your experience.

Core i7 to make leap to Xeon in early 2009
Thursday, November 13, 2008 @ 12:20pm

Intel's Core i7 architecture will translate to workstation- and server-class Xeon processors early next year, leaks from server builders and separate sources indicates. Though not in time for the holidays, the faster Xeon 5500 line will be dominated by quad-core chips and should be headlined by a 3.2GHz, 130-watt Xeon W5580. Its Level 2 cache will drop from 12MB to 8MB but should be offset by Core i7's QuickPath architecture, which reduces the lag in accessing memory and peripherals. It should cost about $1,600 in batches of 1,000 for computer suppliers.

Several lower-clocked models should also be available and include 2GHz (E5504), 2.13GHz (E5506), 2.26GHz (E5520), 2.4GHz (E5530), 2.53GHz (E5540), 2.66GHz (X5550), 2.8GHz (X5560) and a last 2.93GHz (X5570) part. All of the X-series chips will have the same 8MB cache as the 3.2GHz chip but will consume a more modest 95W of power; the E-series halves the cache to 4MB but also drops to 80W of power use. Bulk prices should vary between $224 and $1,386 for the processors. There are also three quad-core Xeon 3500 processors that will have the same 8MB cache as the 5500 but will only run in single-socket systems versus the dual socket ability of the high-end Xeons. These should come in 2.66GHz (W3520), 2.93GHz (W3540) and 3.2GHz (W3570) speed grades at much lower prices between $284 and $999. A lone dual-core model, the 1.86GHz Xeon E5502, is due at the same time for $188. If unaltered, the reported introduction is slightly later than usual for Intel, which lately has made a practice of introducing at least a small number of Xeons along with high-end mainstream chips for a November release. However, the release schedule potentially signals upgrades to workstations that regularly receive updates early in the year, such as Apple's Mac Pro line.

I had a 2009 (4th gen) Legacy 2.5i SE for 3 yrs; SE I think b/c of the addition of moonroof, power seat, HK sound system... Anyway, I loved the car for what it was. A semi-luxury vehicle (I think) at affordable cost; dealer gave me for 20k out the door but in leasing term. It had plenty of power for stop and go, which my wife often drove over the speed limit without notice. Coming from the Impreza series, I find the Legacy more luxurious and comfortable. The only 2 things I prefer to have were 1) something better than the 4EAT, which still gave me 26-31 mpg highway, and 2) VIN starts with letter J

Whatever my criticisms of Rick Santorum, we owe him a debt of gratitude for this segment last night, which confirmed that Mitt Romney loves him some Romneycare:

As Jeffrey Anderson writes, Romney’s defense of Romneycare will be political death in the general election:

Romney then replied by issuing a defense of Romneycare that sounded a lot like the defense that Obama (who might have even been taking notes) is likely to give of Obamacare: “I didn’t say I’m in favor of top-down government-run health care. Ninety-two percent of the people in my state had insurance before our plan went in place.” (For Obamacare, it’s nearly the same percentage of people, only nationwide) “And nothing changes for them. They own the same private insurance they had before.” (As Obama likes to say, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.”) “And for the 8 percent of people who didn’t have insurance, we said to them, if you can afford insurance, buy it yourself, any one of the plans out there, you can choose any plan.” (The same is true for Obamacare — except, as in Romneycare, for the large numbers of people who get shuttled onto Medicaid.) “There’s no government plan.” (There isn’t one in Obamacare either, as the public outcry caused the “public option” to be nixed.) ….

So if Republicans are going to have a mandate to repeal [Obamacare’s] unprecedented threat to liberty and fiscal solvency, they will have to bring it up — or, rather, their nominee will have to bring it up. And he will have to know why he opposes it — not merely that he does.

There was a time when the loudest mouths in the Republican party recognized the disastrous reality of Romney’s refusal to walk away from Romneycare.  But that was then:

The Romney team expects that the distinction between a state individual mandate and a national one will be good enough to get through a primary against lesser-known opponents. He’ll just talk about other things, the reasoning goes, even though opposition to ObamaCare and the growth of the federal government has been the driving force behind the conservative movement for a couple of years. Most Republicans I speak with think Romney’s problem is insoluble. But a smart Republican insider cautioned me yesterday, “In a divided field you just never know.” I suppose. But still.

This is now, and we deserve to be angry.

Thanks to our advertisers for keeping this site free to use! If you'd like to advertise on The Leslieviller, start with this information.

I am the President of my condominium corporation and have been sending out feelers to try and get some discounts for residents via our quarterly Newsletter. I have received a few interested stores and a few polite "thanks, but no thanks" replies. What I received from the Leslieville Cheese Market was absolutely astounding.

My e-mail:
"Good morning,

I am the President of YCC442 a.k.a. Marigold Gardens. We are a 93 Townhouse complex on the corner of Queen and Leslie (right behind the Duke).

I am trying to work with local Leslieville stores to create a membership card or discount coupon system to encourage our 93 home owners to support their local economy and buy in Leslieville.

Would your cheese market be interested in providing our residents with a discount coupon? We produce a quarterly newsletter to residents and would be happy to include an add for your store.

Please let me know your thoughts at your convenience,

Best wishes,"

"I'm sorry,

while i think it's a good idea, i'm sure that no amount of discount will bring those people to my store to buy cheese my cheddars run between double the price to four times the price of loblaws no name cheddar.

so for the cheapest they would have to get 50% off to make it the same regular price as no name cheddar."

For the record, "those people" are 93 townhouses at Queen and Leslie. We have a mix of income levels and professions (just like the rest of Leslieville which contributes to our unique community and character). We have a retired CIBC executive and current Professor at UofT, account managers, product managers, directors, IT professionals, administrators, film industry professionals and artisans. Our condominium is the most affordable entry into Leslieville as our units hover just under the $3000,000 price point due in part to our brady bunch set exterior. We are a hidden gem as we have an internal courtyard which is nearly a full City block and an underground parking lot.

But apparently Leslieville Cheese Market thinks we are not cheddar worthy. I have no problem with not being able to discuss a discount for my residents. I do have a BIG problem with having my residents referred to as "those people" and the assumptions that no name cheddar is all we are interested in.

You just don't know when to quit, do you Bonito?

Well, there is no sense in continuing to put forth rational argument, since you've shown a remarkable inability to grasp the essence of the issue. Instead you've chosen to throw up irrelevant arguments like the fact that no one named the owner of this shop (the damage was done when the original poster named the shop itself.) Then in a transparent and failed effort to sound intelligent you've chosen to sift through the dictionary and found this wonderful word "abase", which may have meant something the first time you used it but has completely lost its effectiveness by the 7th or 8th time you've typed it.

I don't know why you've appointed yourself defender of Ally. She seems to be a passionate, well spoken writer completely capable of doing so herself, if it was even necessary. I suspect the reason may be that YOU were the person who unfortunately suggested she post this issue on the Leslieviller and now you feel guilty that she has been exposed to the opinions of people who disagree with her and her approach.

In any case, I think the issue is debated out. Thanks for your insincere "happy holidays". Hopefully one day you'll be able to lead the neighborhood in a rousing rendition of Kumbaya and we can all live together in peace and harmony.
I love the Leslieville Cheese Market and have always enjoyed their excellent service and products. It saddens me to know that a business owner has been shamed in a public forum because he lacks the marketing and communications skills that so many of us are accustomed to (from all the big stores who hire people to do all that boring work -- the big stores that we are trying avoid by buying locally, from the folks in our hood). Shame. Michael has worked very hard to bring us such a great shop and I think he deserves kudos.
I have read all of the postings about this issue.

Shame on you Ally. Your only intention is to do him harm. Your statements to the effect "I'm just looking out for Leslieville" mean nothing in the context of all of your negativity. You aren't being constructive. You are being destructive. Your smug politeness only adds to your disrespectful tone. One day you will realise that this mudslinging only drags everyone into the mud.

If I was one of the people whom you represented, I would be angry at you, not him.

Shame on you Nolin and William for joining the lynch mob so quickly. Not one of you three had any desire to ever hear his point of view. Nolin, don't try to quote your posting where you request more information in the apparent interest of fairness. In the next sentence you state how difficult it will be to change your mind. You are the moderator of this site?

I'm a retailer in Leslieville. This issue gives me two very strong emotional responses.

1) I have known Michael for the many years that he has been in Leslieville. He doesn't have a nasty bone in his body. Anybody who knows him will pay no heed. I am writing this so that all of the people who haven't come to know him won't be mislead.

2) Seeing this use of the internet to unfairly slander someone makes me shake in my boots. The damage that can be done by an angry young woman and the people that blindly take her side in the issue is real, and can easily end up being tangible damage. I fear the day that some loose cannon like Ally gets her hooks into me for something taken out of context.

well this has all been many good points made...things seem to be tipping in michael's favour ...its been an interesting train wreck based really on how one person communicated with another...i really could never imagine taking such offence/offense without verifying first if perhaps there was a miscommunication...maybe even a misunderstanding...maybe even simply poor wording...maybe ..maybe...there are things going on that i dont even know about...such a large universe after all...this is why i will never qualify for jury duty...too bad you didnt WALK over ally...seeing as you live in the neighborhood and talk to michael directly...gosh its hard to beat that face to face dynamic..that cosy community feeling....too bad you didnt think/believe either one of you deserved could have been an real opportunity for you ...and just think you would not have had to go to all the trouble of consultations...the trouble of having to sleep on it....maybe you could go tomorrow to visit michael..... and post would be a shame if other business owners in the neighborhood started backing away from your proposal due to some strange misunderstanding of this situation

You people are hillarious!

GOOD TIMES EXTERIOR is more like it! hahaha!

dyyyyynoooooo MITE!

whyd you get so worked up about your place when your only renting anyway!
my goodness!

this seems unbelievably terribly horrendously rediculously unbelievable!

In my humble opinion taking potshots at a local small business owner in a public format without approaching them personally first is so out of line. The original poster should be ashamed of herself and if she were representing me I would certainly want a discussion as to whether or not she should continue as such. Michael and the Leslieville Cheese store have worked hand in hand with me on many charitable projects donating time and product. His commitment to this neighbourhood is well documented. Shooting someone in the back in a public posting is shameful.
If the unit cost for these residences is a bit under $3,000,000 (as stated in the first post), why do these good folks need a discount anyway?
well although that reply doesn't sound the friendliest there is no doubt, I think that a small business trying to give discounts might be rather difficult for it to do especially as it is starting out. Business are required to be friendly, provide good service and good choice...not necessarilly discounts to locals that live in the area surrounding the store. so although i'm not crazy about the tone of their response, I not in total disagreement with their perspective.

Leslieville Local Business Marketing - 10 ways to use

Posted by Nolin (Admin) on February 3, 2011 at 12:00pm 4 Comments

When I launched this site in early 2009, one of the compelling reasons for doing so was that I was struck by how many of the businesses in Leslieville are locally owned and operated.  Another big observation was (and still is) how proud most…

Frehley's Comet

I'm awake after sleeping on Chan's floor, and hearing Gumby ordering tires over the phone at the ungodly hour of 10 AM. The comforter worked a little. My back is only slightly sore.

The Red Sox' historic efforts to be the first team to successfully trade their best player for no reason continues. Next thing you know, the media will convince us that we're rooting for gas prices to reach 10 dollars per gallon. "I just can't take low gas prices' antics anymore!"

I'm quickly back in the New York groove, a la Ace Frehley and/or that weird dude who actually wrote the tune. In any other city, there'd be no reason to walk two miles, but we easily walked the 40 blocks from Grand Central to 6th Street on a really nice night. People (Kim, Gumby while we were walking) say that NYC smells. True, but I seem to love the smell, so it works out for me. And then the bonus is, when you need to get somewhere fast or really need to go a long way, you just hop on the subway and go wherever you want. Fun stuff. Get here.

Interestingly, I'm more in favor of $10 gas than this friggin' Manny trade. At least $10 gas would spur us to do something useful in the alternate energy department, whereas trading Manny is just being spurred to do something useless.
Manny's gone, and I'm...really sad, actually. So, huh. There ya go. I guess I was full of shit all along. Go figure...
Manny will be Manny on the left coast (LA Dodgers)...we don't get a reliever, just Jason Bay. Make sense...I do NOT know.
I thought the Mets were the first team to successfully trade their best player for no reason back in '77 when they dumped Tom Seaver for a lot of nothing? And, for this season at least, JD Drew has been the Sox' best player.

Sad to see Manny go, and disappointed to see Moss thrown in the deal. But I really like Jason Bay a lot; much better return for Manny than I feared last night.
"The Red Sox' historic efforts to be the first team to successfully trade their best player for no reason continues."

Totally! I'm pissed.
Epic fail all around, but I'm jealous that you're in NY.

You're missing the media glee that they ran out another one—-never mind the moronic, half-way fans who are glad that this "cancer" and this "unproducing man-child" is gone (as I heard it described on Newbury St earlier tonight, which is probably them quoting dirt dogs or the chb).

To quote you, terrible job.
sarah, good call. I had started to write something about that--how in a way it's actually better that gas prices go up, but I figured the point had been made, since most people don't like high gas prices, so I left it out. But yeah, what you say is definitely true. I'm thinking about getting a bike when we move to Providence, and I took trains all the way to NY.

Everyone else, nice job. I just got back to Chan's place--we heard "the" news at Saigon Grill. So weird. Joe Torre is Manny's manager.
Hey. So there's some problem with my blog where I can't post until they review it to make sure it's not a "spam blog." They say their spam-detecting is fuzzy and that's why my blog is being reviewed. So as soon as they clear that up I can post again.
My blog is still "locked" till they clear up their little problem. I've written a post but it won't go up until then. Stay tuned...
Jere, I wonder why you're locked up. That never happened to me, and we both use blogspot. Good luck.
The trade sucks. Period.
Not because we'll be much weaker, we really won't be. Because Manny is Manny and I'll miss all the "antics" and the ever-present grin.
I had really hoped that he would retire a Red Sock. Given that that was apparently NOT going to happen, we probably did as well as one could hope. There is no such thing as a good trade when you're the one in contention for the playoffs and you give up a perennial All-Star, HR leader, W-S MVP, etc. etc. You let those kind of guys go off-season, or when you're writing off a season. This is neither. BUT, at least they salvaged something in return, which they wouldn't have got at the end of the year. I just believe they should have kept him for the B2B Series run.

Time will tell.

Either way, I consider this a sad day. I'll miss Manny.

Oh, and, I'm jealous again. One of the worst things about selling our soap business is that we don't get to go to NYC twice a year anymore. We haven't made it back since we sold it. It's a GREAT place. In spite of the Yankee fans.
Remember when Nomar was being grumpy and sitting on the end of the bench, and then he was traded and the Red Sox won 21 out of 23 in August?

Just saying.

I don't think Orlando Cabrera and Doug Mientkiewicz were better than Nomar in 2004, but it sure seemed to change the team a great deal. Will jettisoning Manny do the same thing? I don't know, but I doubt they make the playoffs if they had kept him.
Still waiting for Blogger. Terrible job by their "inherently fuzzy" spam-detector for thinking my blog has the "characteristics of a spam blog" on one of the key days in Red Sox history. But they say within 2 business days it will be unlocked. Hopefully it's before that. This is crappy.
Blog still locked. And I'm about to leave internet connection land until late Saturday night. Hopefully everything's back by then.

I'm watching the game right now, and getting mad/sad about all the Manny talk. Glad Papi's wearing "24" wristbands....
What's up with blogger?
I can't get on to JoS either, at all.
I figured maybe they were just overloaded with all the Manny talk, but then I see you're having trouble too.
As much as I hate watching GDGD, I'm glad tonight's game is not televised. (at least not here in baseball purgatory) I really don't care to listen to all the bashers. Go ahead and crow, get it out of your system. We just traded away the best hitter in baseball right now and, while I'm glad the waiting-for-something-to-happen is over, I cannot be too happy about having done so.
Blogger is bloggered for a lot of people.

Supposedly you can't view any blogger blog with Internet Explorer right now, and if you remove Sitemeter from your site that clears up the problem.

Hearing Remy & Orsillo trash Manny was just sad.
More on the sitemeter bug, and the fix, here:
Nice call, sosock.

Truth, I have statcounter, not sitemeter, so at least I don't have that to worry about. I just got home from an internet-less cabin, and my blog appears to be unlocked....woohoo!

We are a custom designer cake and cookie company located in beautiful Vancouver BC.

Now booking 2015 weddings and events.

  • “We had Kylie make our wedding cake and it was easily one of the most glorious cakes I’ve ever seen. It tasted heavenly, looked ridiculously beautiful, and was gluten free! I would order another cake from her in a heartbeat, and eat the whole thing in one sitting.”

    -Robyn Rhodes
  • “My work held a private client event at Art Knapp and Kylie was the creative genius behind our dessert bar! Not only were here treats a work of art, they tasted as good as they looked. Everything from the back drop, to the set up, to the design of each item fit the garden theme perfectly. Kylie’s attention to detail is exquisite and I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for something extra special for their next event.”

    -Kathy Rutherford Pilon
  • “Kylie made the most amazing horse head cake pops and horse head cookie for my daughters birthday party. Her talent is unbelievable. My guest were very impressed by the taste and how beautiful the work was. 5 stars!!!”

    -Amanda Stromquist
  • “Beyond our expectations! We got a cake, cookies and cupcakes from this lovely lady and all turned out spectacular. The taste was phenomenal! Highly HIGHLY recommend for any event!”

    -Amy Criss
  • “Kylie made my rambling ideas come to life perfectly. She made the most spectacular work of art and I will be back again nom nom nom.”

    -Jesse Buchanan
  • “When I found out that Kylie had started her own business I was eager to take full advantage of her amazing talent.  My husband and I asked Kylie to make our wedding cake and as everyone knows there is a high expectation when you ask someone to make your wedding cake. Kylie did not disappoint and in fact she exceeded our expectations.  When we first met with her, we had some ideas of what we wanted but did not have a clear picture so we gave her a few ideas of what we were thinking and then left the rest to her. I did not have any doubt that she would be able to create us a perfect cake.  When we saw our cake for the first time on our wedding day it almost brought a tear to my eye because it was everything we wanted it to be and more.  All of our guests commented on not only how beautiful the cake was but how delicious it was too!   Kylie oozes creativeness and has some unbelievable talent to express it by making beautiful cakes.”

Localizing Your Business | Helping Your Customers Find You!

People’s search trends are changing; the use of long-tailed semantic keywords during their search queries is more common when looking for relevant search results. For instance, when a person searches for “SEO services in San Francisco” or “the best grill on Castro Street”, they are looking for businesses that are located in the nearest possible proximity. As Google (and other search engines) adapts to these customer needs, the need for localizing your business becomes inherently important for your business’ success.

Back in Brighton

I'm back in Brighton for Lib Dem Conference.

I enjoyed a lovely dinner last night at The Fisherman's Rest with Chris Rennard (Chief Executive), Hilary Stephenson (Director of Campaigns) and colleagues yesterday evening where we chatted about progress in our key seats and preparations for a possible autumn election.

We then met up for a few drinks with the rest of the Campaigns Department Team at the Grand Hotel.

Mood very positive.

This morning I did the first of several training sessions I will be doing this week - on 'Making the most of VIP visits' with the excellent Dave Hennigan from Rochdale.

This afternoon I will be meeting the teams from some of our London seats and London Campaigns Officer Andrew Reeves to discuss their campaigning and planning for a snap election.

I may even get along to the conference centre at some point, but I suspect most of my week will be spent here in the Quality Hotel.

The heritage of the Germans from Russia is a unique part of our northern plains culture. Through this new column, the Germans from Russia Heritage Collection at the NDSU Libraries in Fargo reaches out to prairie families throughout the Dakotas. Reader response with suggestions and opinions is encouraged.

Homeland Documentary

Mark your calendars to watch Prairie News Journal on Prairie Public Television December 21 and 22 at 5 p.m. The program will showcase the Journey to the Homeland Tours of June, 1996, when North Dakotans traveled to Ukraine to visit their ancestral German villages. PPTV hopes to produce a television documentary series about this historic tour and its importance for the Germans from Russia. Brother Placid Gross, a native of Napoleon and a member of Assumption Abbey, Richardton, will be featured.

Tour Memories

The visit to the former German villages in southern Ukraine was truly an unforgettable experience for 80 Americans of German-Russian ancestry. Margaret Aman Freeman of Redondo Beach, CA, writes, "People in the villages were generous and invited us into their homes, offering to prepare food for us, which they often did. Chickens, ducks and geese roamed freely. The ducks and geese seemed particularly pleased that there had been a rain. Horse drawn carts were hauling feed for the animals. It would be wonderful if more of our friends and families with roots to these German villages would have the opportunity to drive through and visit this country which is much like our Dakota prairies." The winter 1996 issue of North Dakota Horizons features an article with photographs about their travel tours to Germany and Ukraine in June.

Arizona Snowbirds

Snowbirds join us this winter in Arizona for our Germans from Russia outreach events. The NDSU Libraries is sponsoring gatherings on February 27 at Lakeview Hall #1, Recreation Centers of Sun City, 10676 Thunderbird Blvd., Sun City, 1:30-4:00 p.m. and March 1 at Mesa Regal Resort, Royal Hall, Mesa, 1:30-4:00 p.m. Featured speakers will be Ukraine tour members describing their memorable experiences.

Prairie Settlers

Our traveling exhibit, "The Kempf Family: Germans from Russia Weavers on the Dakota Prairies," is on display at the Harvey Public Library until December . The Kempf family immigrated from former Bessarabian German villages in South Russia to establish a new life in McIntosh and Dickey counties.

Growing Up in North Dakota: A Memoir by Philo T. Pritzkau, born in a sod house near Burnstad in Logan County, ND, has recently been published. The book provides a wonderful story of pioneer life--harvesting, hard times, long winters and one room country schools. His stories formed a basis for his daughter, Patricia MacLachlan's book, Sarah, Plain and Tall , later screen-written for a popular movie.

How to Get What You Want from the Nanny

Give her a glimpse of your relationship with your children. "I always pay close attention to how parents interact with their children," says April Mirabile. "I also like to see if the parents and the children have manners."

Suppose the nanny you are interviewing appears to be a perfect candidate. You delve into the issues discussed earlier in the chapter, and she seems to be on your wavelength. What can you say to make your job offer especially appealing? Salary is the biggest carrot, but there are other perks that might persuade a nanny to say yes. You could offer to:

  • Supply a credit card in her name for child-related expenses. A common complaint among nannies is that they must foot the bill for their charge's expenses and then nag the parents to reimburse them. A credit card erases that worry and will make a big difference to the nanny.
  • Pay for her airfare home once a year.
  • Provide automatic raises every six months.
  • Provide her with a cell phone.
  • Pay for a gym membership.
  • Let a live-in nanny have some say in the design of her quarters – for instance, let her choose the paint color and linens.
  • If the nanny has children, pay for their yearly medical checkups.
  • Supply incentives for long-term employment. One family promised a car to the nanny if she stayed two years. If you don't have that kind of money, you might offer an all-expenses-paid vacation (even a three-day vacation is a nice perk) after two years of service, tickets to a theme park after each year, or a sizable gift certificate to a department store.
Absolute No-No's
Because most of the middle-class people who employ nannies aren't used to hiring household "help," things can get a little unfocused during the interview. The more prepared and professional you are, the more confident the nanny will feel about working for you. To that end:

Don't talk too much. Ask questions, then listen. The time to talk about your family at length is after you have decided that the nanny might be a good match.

Don't be so desperate that you get sloppy. Deborah B., a nanny in Georgia, says, "I think a lot of times the pressure of having to find child-care ASAP makes parents less discriminating than they might be otherwise. If they seem desperate for someone to start, if they won't say specifically why the previous nanny left, and if they seem unsure about job specifics, I know I won't want to work there."

Don't disagree with your spouse during the interview. "Sometimes if I ask what methods of discipline they use or plan on using, they realize they do not agree with their spouse," says Leah H. All parents have disagreements, particularly when it comes to discipline, but if those disagreements erupt during the very first interview it doesn't bode well for the nanny.

Don't get too personal. "Questions about boyfriends, when I plan to marry or have children, or my religious beliefs – these make me wary because I feel they may try and control other aspects of my life," says Jennifer Sibre. The boyfriend issue is important, but rather than querying the nanny about it you might simply explain your house rules regarding boyfriends.

Don't dress or behave inappropriately. "The most alarming thing was when a mom lit up a cigarette while holding her baby and then offered me a drink," recalls Leah H. "I guess that can be summed up as being too open. There are other things that fall into that category as well – doing the interview in boxers or pajamas, swearing, or telling personal information. I don't mind these things after taking a job. I'm working in people's homes and expect to see some intimate parts of their lives, but there should be a certain level of professionalism to start."

Under Cover

Rocking retro-inspired dresses and homemade feather earrings, songstress Mara Hruby is constantly re-imagining and redesigning her world, and her music is no exception. Pairing her soothing yet commanding voice over iconic R&B tracks, Mara layered and rearranged, remixed, unmixed, tangled and untangled the seven songs featured on her debut EP, From Her Eyes, until they became her own. She brings to the table a background as a professional hip-hop dancer and a lifelong infatuation with soul and all that entails. Life + Times caught up with the Oakland native to talk inspirations and debut her latest music video—a cover of Mos Def’s “The Panties.”

Life + Times: From Her Eyes is a throwback to true, old school R&B, but what’s R&B to you?
Mara Hruby
: Oh man, R&B to me is like soul music. R&B is Al Green and Marvin Gaye. The writing is just so poetic and beautiful that it reaches out to people and grabs them. That’s what R&B is—it knows no boundaries.

L+T: You grew up in the ’90s so I know you have something to say about ’90s R&B. What was your biggest guilty pleasure?
: I can’t even lie—when I was little, I loved Mariah Carey and the whole Butterfly album. I remember my sister and I used to imitate scenes from music videos we liked. The Box would always play the video for Boyz II Men’s “Water Runs Dry” and we loved reenacting the scene where they’re standing on sand dunes singing [laughs].

L+T: Why cover all men on your EP?
: All the artists that I chose to cover are people that I’ve been listening to for a long, long time. I wanted to put my perspective on their songs and convey the way their music makes me feel by recreating it. When I chose the songs, I wanted them to be songs that I could sing without changing any of the lyrics. I wanted them to be songs that a man or woman could sing without changing the message.

L+T: So what about the ladies? What female artists do you pull inspiration from?
: Amel Larrieux can do things with her voice that nobody else can—I love her. Her album Lovely Standards was actually an inspiration for my EP because she also took a set of songs and recreated them. And of course Björk—she’s just wildly creative. Also, Julie London—I love her voice, it’s just so classic.

L+T: It’s almost like you’re re-appropriating the meaning of these songs by singing them, especially with something like Mos Def’s “The Panties,” which is rife with sexual innuendos. How do you think you change the effect of that song by singing it as a female?
: I’m always flattered when I hear people say that they listen to my version of a song and forget that it was originally sung by a man. That blows me away. I’ve seen Mos perform a few times now and I never got to see him do “The Panties,” so I decided that I should perform it in my own shows so that someone could get that satisfaction [laughs]. I just love that song because it makes you want to just dance, it makes you want to move. It makes you want to just close your eyes and imagine whatever your mind can create for you. So to me, it’s not about a man’s sexual point of view. It’s about intimacy, which can just as easily be sung by a woman. I wanted my version to be sensual and inviting in that kind of way as well, but I wanted it to be about passion from a woman’s standpoint.

L+T: Your music has a lot of layers. Each song is sort of like a collage. How does arranging and engineering play a part in your work?
: I wanted this record to be sensitive and feminine, yet powerful and creative. Laying down the vocals is what puts out the content and when you start to layer and add harmonies and ad-libs, all those little extra things is how you get texture and emotion. If you took five people and told them to cover the same song, you would be able to hear each artist’s individual style and creativity in how they chose to recreate it.

    This is an excellent addition/twist to today’s R&B. She should do a duet with Bilal, that would be the most soulful song you can imagine. Their voices would really compliment one another

Cinnamon Twisters Banana Bread

I'm inventive. At least I feel that way about this banana bread. Remember these muffins from a couple of weeks ago? The original recipe called for cinnamon chips and I looked for them at 2 different stores but had no luck in finding them. (I know I'll get 3 comments on this post telling me where to find them in NYC...I hope...)

At home I figured I'd use some cinnamon goodies that I already had on hand. I decided to use the Entenmann's "Ultimate Cinnamon Pastry Twisters" that I had bought from the Entenmann's Bakery Outlet that I live by. Yes. I know. I walk by it everyday on my way home and fight off temptation all the time. Well, 95% of the time.
So, I took these nummies and broke them into pieces and pressed them into the top of the batter. The nice crunchiness and cinnamon flavor made this banana bread quite lovely!
Cinnamon Twisters Banana Bread (adapted from Amanda's Cookin')
2+ very ripe bananas
1/2 cup unsalted butter, butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour loaf pan.

Mash the bananas with a fork and place in a mixer bowl with softened butter. Mix on medium speed until well blended. Add in the vanilla, eggs, sugar and buttermilk and beat on medium speed until well blended.

Whisk together baking soda, salt and flour. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add flour mixture to banana mixture.

Pour batter into loaf pan. Break pieces of Entenman's Cinnamon Twisters and press into top of batter. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool slightly before removing and cooling completely.
Bake well and prosper!

  1. This banana bread is indeed very unique using cinnamon twist for an extra finish. I'm organising a blog hop starting from Mar. For the whole month of Mar, everyone in this blog hop will cook or bake Donna Hay recipes. For May, it will be Ina Garten.... Hope that you can join me in this blog hop.

  2. Dear Erica, I love your blog and am excited to have found it! This banana bread looks wonderful and what a fantastic idea to use cinnamon twists! I do hope you visit soon! Blessings, Catherine xo

Thanks for taking time to leave a message! xo - EB

Do you want a spanking?

"Don't make me count to three!"
"You just wait till your daddy gets home!"
"Do you want a spanking?"
"You don't want me to come in there!"
"No matter how you phrase them, these types of statements all have one thing in common: They aid parents in avoiding discipline issues."

Ginger Plowman opens up with these statements in her book, "Don't Make Me Count to Three!"
The premise of the book: "In order for us to reach the hearts of our children we must realize that there is far more to parenting than getting our children to act right. We have to get them to think right and to be motivated out of love of virtue rather than a fear of punishment." She gives examples of questions to ask children and practical ways to use scripture to instruct them.

I titled this post with a question that I ask Maevri frequently.  My husband and I laugh when we ask her this, because we surely don't expect her to say, "Yes, I would love a spanking" or "No, I really need two spankings to learn my lesson." Simply asking her if she wants a spanking just suggests that what she is doing is wrong. It doesn't address her attitude, actions or what scripture says about it. We eventually want Maevri and Deacon to understand why a certain action or attitude is wrong,  not just simply know right and wrong.  In Matthew 15, Jesus reminds the Pharisees that they honor God with their lips, but their hearts are far from Him. Ultimately, we desire for Mae and Deacon to honor God with their hearts and actions.

We aren't asking her this question anymore, by itself at least (even though it slips out occasionally).  We also try to redirect her bad actions with good ones to show her a difference.  Her vocabulary is not broad enough yet to talk about her heart or why she gets fussy or hits her brother, but we are trying to practice what our conversation might look like.  In the very near future, she will start to talk more and express her heart. Hopefully we'll get the hang of it by the time Mr. Deacon starts to get in on the conflict resolution...

Proverbs 20:5 has been my prayer for myself lately. It says, "The purposes of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out."  I desire to draw things out of my family and friend's hearts, with the intention of encouraging them with truth in scripture.

I'm very thankful for some "warnings" that Plowman wrote in the introduction of her book too.  She urges parents to not become prideful with the good behavior of their children.  When Mae is on her best behavior or when she politely obeys us, it's very easy to give myself a "mental cookie" and say, "sweet, I taught  her that." Proverbs 11:2 says, "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom."  We definitely rejoice in the successes of her good behavior, but we always need to give God the credit and thanks for wisdom.  Yeah, that's difficult.

I haven't finished Plowman's book, but I am anxious to start putting these tips into action!  I was encouraged by the lovely, Kelly, over at The Houtz House Party to share info about this fabulous book. I'm grateful for her and other mommies that share their joys, struggles and experiences of being a parent.  We are learning TONS in this season of our life together!  I hope that this book can be an encouragement to you, if not now, then one day.  Thanks for reading!

  1. EEK! Thank you for the shout out girl!!! I am SO happy you did this review! I DEF need to read this book!!! I need someone to tell me how to do it better that's for sure!!!! :)

  2. Sounds like a great book! Love your review!

  3. I think about these kinds of questions all the time and frequently feel like a lazy parent with discipline... it really is SO much work to do it right! this sounds like a great book! I really love your daughter's name, so close to ours =) (we pronounce it Maevie, but Mr. D did not want to spell it how it sounds, lol)

Streaming Media Monitoring Tools

Our unique Streaming Media Monitor software was developed as a key operations tool for satellite broadcasters and webcasters. The goal was "automated eyes and ears" monitoring of IP multicast streaming media. The tool provides a single screen monitoring point for up to 36 multimedia streams, with visual cues, alarm dialog boxes, bandwidth monitoring, paging, and email alerting if a problem develops with any of the monitored data, audio, or multimedia products. Continuous human monitoring of multiple streaming products would be tedious, if not impossible, and thereby subtle problems may go unnoticed.

Try before you buy - Download our fully functional version of Streaming Media Monitor and try it for 30 days. Download

Monitor Features

Detection Features

Alarm Features

Mature Software

Mature, cost effective, multicast stream monitoring software in continuously in use by satellite broadcasters and streaming media content providers since 1998.

Troubleshoot IP Multicast Enabled Networks

Test IP multicast configurations on routers and switches. By using bandwidth monitoring functions at various locations along a route, dropped packets, dropped fragmented packets, packet errors, etc. can easily be detected and monitored. Streaming Media Monitor will keep multicast routes open through routers and switches even when there are no active users. Edge monitoring may be setup using the remote status reporting capability and may be displayed on a central NOC location.

Remote Monitoring

Remote monitoring from a central location may be accomplished by placing Streaming Media Monitors at various strategic locations along the multicast route. Multicast enabled routing and switching problems are readily detectable and if properly configured, will generate alarms.

Capability of monitoring up to 36 IP Multicast streams per system assuming sufficient bandwidth and memory.

Hardware Requirements

Requires Pentium PC with Microsoft Windows operating system, single or multiple ethernet network cards, access route to SMTP server, dial modem (if the Dialup-Paging option is used).

USER GUIDE - Streaming Media Monitor

Create Desktop Shortcuts

After completing software installation, the user should create a suitable number of desktop shortcuts to Streaming Media Monitor. Each shortcut will start an individually customized instance for monitoring up to six multicast streams.

Preparing the shortcut to identify multiple instances of Streaming Media Monitor.
Shortcut Screen Capture
By editing the shortcut properties, Target command line option -n [instance Name], a unique name can identify each individual instance of the Streaming Media Monitor. In this case, the user identified the second shortcut as 'Group 2'.

If you are configuring a 'Remote' instance shortcut, append the command line (prior to the instance name) with -rmt [NIC]:[port] --OR-- -e [port].
Example: ""C:\Program Files\StreamingMediaMonitor\StreamingMediaMonitor.exe"" -rmt -n remote
--OR-- ""C:\Program Files\StreamingMediaMonitor\StreamingMediaMonitor.exe"" -e 7070 -n remote

Configuration Tabs - (File/Properties)

Each instance may be individually configured using the File/Properties menu.

Objects Tab

Object Tab Screen Capture
Configure the dotted IP address, port, 5 character label, and nominal data rate for each stream to be monitored. IP address changes do not take effect until the Streaming Media Monitor is restarted, however changes to bandwidth and labels are changed when Apply is clicked.

Alarms Tab

Alarm Tab Screen Capture
Alarms may be enabled, configured to Re-Send the alarm every N minutes if the condition is not corrected, configured time-out before alarm is activated, and configured for a threshold bandwidth. In the example below, the first multicast will alarm if the bandwidth drops below 2.5 mbs for 300 seconds (5 Minutes).

E-Mail Tab

E-Mail Tab Screen Capture
When an alarm condition occurs, an email may be sent to operating personnel, a text pager, SNMP manager, or group. The Email tab sets the target email address, SMTP server host name, and the senders name. A test button will send a sample alarm email if the 'enable' box is checked and applied.

Pager Tab

Pager Tab Screen Capture
When an alarm condition occurs, an internal or external modem may be used to send a numeric page. Configure the Modem dialer string, serial port, time-out, retries, and enable checkbox. A test button may be clicked to verify configuration.

Logging Tab

Logging Tab Screen Capture
Logging may be enabled. Logs are written to the default drive in the DownLink Logs directory.

Remote Routing Tab

Remote Routing Tab Screen Capture
