I would attend a weekend meetup in a cafe or bar. Probably the best time would be late lunch or an early evening before it gets noisy. I spent over 15 years working in silicon valley startups.

Jerry sent you a pm. Look forward to seeing you in October Allan

I'd like to join you in exploring some of the old forged ironwork in BsAs. I was struck by it when first here.

The solution to avoiding the problems and attorney costs entailed by US Wills and probate courts even for very very small amounts of property is by moving property into a Living Trust. The property is transferred into the title of the trust while you are alive, then when you die the property...

I have been through the process of doing this. The best resource by far I found and the only one I trust for non-attorney US WIlls and Trust info was NOLO press - a Berkeley based publisher of legal books. They have online copies of their books. The simple will form has become standardized...

Hi Alex, send me a PM, and we can meet to chat about how to go about it. Always happy to introduce people to fly fishing! Al

When you arrive at immigration at the airport, the immigration form you will fill out asks you for an address where you will be staying, and I think the purpose of your trip. The immigration officer will then determine whether to issue you a tourist visa, a student visa or a work visa, or no...

Kate, re your question about pushing the carts by yourself at eze. Yes, you can handle it all by yourself, although I have seen porters hanging around baggage claim if you need one. It's a pretty short push from baggage claim where you get the free carts, to the x-ray m/c. It's also a...

I second the advice to get help from an reliable immigration attorney, who specializes in this situation. In my experience, US immigration procedures and questions are not common sense, and common sense assumptions can cause more problems. The interview official who recommends approval of a...

Seen from the inside, a free press is individual journalists, photographers, writers, editors, research assistans, their sources, families, and others, risking their personal freedom for their social good and to make a living. Many of them are freelance, temporary, doing other things to pay the...

The continual growth of large corporations to challenge the power of governments has been in the making for at least 2 hundred years, with joint Anglo-Dutch multinationals in the previous century taking the lead. The Washington Post journalist Morton Minzt in the book America Inc in the 70's...

Pilates with a certified intructor is better, in my experience. Pilates studios in BA are among the cheapest and most accessible in the world, so this is a great place to try it. If you want references to a couple of studios PM me. I've been working on back issues for about 15 years now...

I have a lumix and misplaced my cable here a couple of years ago. I eventually bought another cable. The only place i could get one was mail order in the US from some very obscure company, and not here or at any camera store in the US. I might have 2 cables now. My suggestion is just pop...

Nobody wears sun hats in the city. Maybe there are a few baseball caps. In Summer the sun is brutal, but there is shade on one side of the street or the other, and you figure out the times of day when you can move around and find shade. Potenas use a pocket-sized map book called Guia-T mostly...

I often get mistaken for a porteno, people keep asking me for directions, where buses are going, what time it is, the names of local streets, and so on. It has to be mostly about look. Adding to the previous advice, I think the key to looking like a porteno is to act like a porteno, and to...

Dress down anywhere anytime in BA. If you plan to travel to Patagonia, bring Winter clothing.

Nicole if you search the forum for NolaChef, and for her food blog, you will find New Orleans in BA

I came across a priceless example of British farce recently. The leaders of Papua New Guinea in 2005 created for themselves, with permission of their sovereign HRH, a copy of the UK's royal honours system, and awarded themselves its titles. Hence we have the Grand Companions of the Order of...

A best practice is to keep two browsers up to date on each machine (tablet, laptop, phone) you use, say Chrome and Firefox. Use one browser *exclusively* for access to your trusted bank and other such financial account logins. Use the other browser for all other browsing. Configure the...

Thanks. I was able to get over there and contribute!
