PLEASE NOTE: Please be aware that you may have intermittent water usage on Friday, May 18, 2012. Upon testing our fire hydrants, we found a faulty shut off valve. The hydrants are functioning; however select hydrants are not turning off properly. In order to perform this necessary repair, we must shut off all water to the community for a short period of time.

Work is scheduled to begin at 9:30 AM and run until 3:30 PM. The water may only have to be shut off for 10 minutes, however if there is a problem with the installation it may be shut off until 3:30 PM. Until this repair is completed, you may also notice an excess of water drainage throughout the community.

We do understand that this is an inconvenience, however it must be done to ensure that we are prepared should an emergency occur. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the office at 401-353-5530.

Sincerely,

Windsor at Brentwood Management

We live, as the slogan says, in financial times. Since economics has such a strong impact on our day-to-day lives, understanding economics better can help us make sense of our world. Here are five thoughtful books that will help you learn:

Understanding the World Economy
An accessible overview of many economic principles, this snappy volume by Tony Cleaver is an incredibly illuminating read for people who aren't experts in economic theory. Without a lot of technical jargon, this book is smart and useful and won't scare away newcomers to economics.

The Return of Depression Economics and the Crisis of 2008
Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman investigates the parallels between America's recent financial crisis and the Great Depression. In exploring the roots of our recent economic calamity, Krugman intelligently offers his ideas about how future catastrophe might be avoided.

Economic Facts and Fallacies
Thomas Sowell's fascinating book reveals fallacies about economic issues, including many spread by politicians and the media. Written in lively prose, Sowell's book is a great read whether or not you have prior knowledge of economics.

Everything For Sale: The Virtues and Limits of Markets
This book is a fascinating exploration of the free market. Robert Kuttner's acclaimed work is a provocative look into contemporary economic practices.

The Wealth and Poverty of Nations
Tackling the question of why some countries achieve success while others fail, David S. Lande's exploration considers the economic impact of history and culture while offering incredible analytical insight.

Excellence in dining on the East Side is what you will undoubtedly find at India. Just recently I had the pleasure of experiencing this delightful jewel. Upon my arrival in Rhode Island, I asked people where to go for spicy and flavorful food, preferably Indian. Hands down this was the place mentioned by so many…and now I see exactly why.

Our waiter for the evening was Srinivasa; he introduced himself, offered beverages and assistance with the menu, a customer service plus for me at a restaurant. I rarely take anyone up on menu guidance or recommendations, but the offer is most welcome. His on-point service and great attitude was a high point of the evening.

Many times there have been instances where I’ll order dishes ‘very spicy’ at restaurants only to be presented food that's little more than mildly spiced. India actually trusted that when I asked for it, that’s what I wanted! Bravo…my flaming face loves you for it! The server mentioned that he was actually impressed by me. He was probably just being nice but I felt cool for a second.

They have specials on different nights of the week; Tuesday happens to be 50% off entrees. Score! Weekends feature free henna tattooing and belly dancing (sounds a little odd but who knows) it could be fun? There is also outdoor seating that looks fabulous for sometime this year when the weather decides to be consistently nice!

It was a great time…I'm going back for mass quantities of vindaloo, aloo gobhi, masala, biryani and a tour of everything else on the menu. You should too. No, seriously.
