White Hats Fact Check 125.7 Reader Comments Part 12
Previous Parts 1-11 listed at end of page
barbe27 says: After 170 years today in the British parliament was a debate on Money creation and Society. Shame that the House of commons was empty but the debate was brilliant.
If you like to watch is after 11.18 minute
Thanks a lot to Tony ,White Hat Auxiliary & OWON
Valdi says: Thank you, barbe27. I too was greatly disappointed by the poor attendance at the debate, considering the fundamental role the creation of money plays in society. The transcript of the debate is available here:
Valdi Continues: Steve Baker, the MP for Wycombe who moved the motion (unfortunate phrase) impressed me with his comments. It's a shame Ben Still couldn't be there to enlighten the House even further about the present system. The "Grunts", as John calls them, need educating, as do most ordinary people.
Why is this important?
Ask yourselves why we are here and at OWoN, following the blogs, hoping, if we are honest with ourselves, to benefit from any Global Settlements and Currency Resets.
All purely fiat currency schemes ultimately fail and we are near the end of the present one, heavily reliant upon the US dollar as the de facto world reserve currency.
Unlike previous crashes affecting the Weimar Republic and more recently Zimbabwe, when the dollar crashes it will not crash alone but likely take down with it the Euro, Pound and Yen, all tied at the hip through the central banking system. it will be a nightmare.
Many of us were fooled into believing our paper currency was worth something because we had to exchange our time, energy and labour to acquire it and could exchange it for goods and services produced by others, not realising that it was being conjured by banks out of thin air as debt that could never be repaid, who then used it to acquire real assets and enslave us.
Let us come clean and admit we too are hoping to profit from this ponzi scheme before the entire house of cards collapses, converting our paper or digital currency into real assets and works before everyone else wakes up to discover it is intrinsically worthless.
True, many of us would like to use it for noble purposes to enrich the lives of others but the underlying foundation is the same as for those who have used it only to further empower and enrich themselves.
LP says: And what is that underlying foundation, Valdi?
alwaysme says: Ok Valdi, I will admit I landed here as a result of a currency speculation/investment.
An investment I learned of through an insatiable desire and relentless pursuit to pierce the veil I knew was hiding truth and reality from me.
In our current society, money is a tool. Albeit not the only tool in the chest, but it is an important one, nevertheless.
And I also admit, I hope we each have tool chests that are overflowing very soon!
Nice to see you here, by the way, Valdi! Cheers! Always.
Valdi says: LP The underlying foundation is our belief that fiat currencies have real value. It is a foundation of sand, quickly becoming quicksand. The real value lies in us; as sentient, creative, living beings, and in all life everywhere.
Precious metals, tulip bulbs and even beaver pelts had more validity as money because they at least represented someones time, energy and labour.
The trillions of fiat currency produced by the central banks out of thin air would be worth nothing if our time, energy and labour, and that of future generations, hadn't been promised in exchange as collateral by our governments to the bankers. That's what happens when people hand their sovereignty over to someone else and don't hold them accountable.
Alwaysme, Thank you! I love reading the comments on WHA and Tony's literary gems. If wit alone could bring down the cabal, Tony would manage it single-handedly!
I came to WHA via the White Hat Reports, looking for truth and hoping for justice with the arrest and removal from power of the corrupt, vile, ruling cabal. Still do.
Hoping to benefit from an RV was a secondary consideration. It offered a way of realising childhood ambitions to be creative, live a fulfilled life and help give others a hand-up.

Interesting comments via Barbe 27 on WHA site. Be assured, London misses nothing worldwide.
For Barbe, thanks for being open minded and seeking to see what's going down. But be assured, these are only performing Mannequins, the real action,Class Actions, are the Old Guard and Key Opinion Policy Shapers here who track it as needed, and just give the Poodles an hour in the sun.
This IS the greatest financial City in the world because of mutual respect for other nations.good Diplomacy, and lessons heard earned after loss of the old Empire, but total control of the Financial Empire which we never let go. Nor Will! Ever! Note the speed of tracking and responding for you? There ARE intense activities unfolding behind closed doors. Real Action and Leadership.
There are many good and enlightened people on both sites we seek to encourage. The nations and people need you all.
A new big article coming out with extensive graphics over the next day or so will open more windows for you. It will give hope and clarity to many. Don't worry too much about these transient Politicos.
Most are just short term Dog Excreta who will be scraped back to the gutters where they belong in time. Humanity just picked them up along the path of life, and will return them as found when opportune.
The winds of change are blowing. Minds are evolving and ignorance is being exposed to the light of day and reality. Your own Sovereign Right, is to exist. Technology,Science and pending revelations will unleash directional changes for all. Paedophile Cult religions ( ISIS and Islam) are barbaric and will face retribution.
Crime families will not withstand the scale of Global exposure building.
Too many OTT stress comments have blanket attacked America, which has detracted from the real fact that it is a true minority of Political Crime Families, Sleaze ridden Politicos, and the congregated Gut Rotten Zionist hoards who have racketeered as always, entrapped Banking to subjugate the nation, serving its ridiculous anti Goyim ideologies.
Most Americans are good, wholesome family value people as much stressed as all nations, and denied true MSM information by this conniving Zionist and Cabal controlled media.
The emergence of such good sites, is simply humanity fighting for truth, integrity and a right to pursue a greater purpose of being. Post the PPs, you will see so much more. A step at a time. It needs safe hands.
Within the confines of a true global cooperative of "Enlightened Elders" and free Spirits, are numerous avenues of hope and freedom aspirations unfolding. You are neither alone, nor without hope.
Nor will all be lost for the real people. But- for the Cabal, you chose your path, free will, now face the Karma consequence coming down on each of you. Regress history, the best laid plans of corrupted men, always end in tragedy. Societies evolve, new Big Dogs emerge. More rice bowls to fill.
Post the PPs more will be revealed. just have quiet inner belief. Life works out. Just be encouraged, this will be a century of revelations for all of you.

*Nanette says: Love it. So eloquently written.
Tammy says: Thank you for the well written reply. It gives me hope that each of us will be good to one another in our journey.
alwaysme says: Nicely done, OWoN. Thank you. And thanks for sharing.
I pray we continue to reach beyond the hidden hands of manipulation that have sought to distract and divide us at every juncture.
Indeed, it is our "right to pursue a greater state of being." It is also our duty.
I believe we are all here with a glorious purpose; a holy contract with God as we know Him. I am proud to stand among so many who refuse to run from the challenges and are prepared to finish what they agreed to start. I salute all who choose to wear the white hat. Always.
PS. I like the Guinness video a lot. I think my hubby even brought it to share with his continuing ed. students today! "The choices we make reveal the true nature of our character"
barbe27 says: John ,thank you for the well written reply,love to be able to help in any possible way,to be a part of the intense activities unfolding behind closed doors with real action and Leadership.
I'm exited that the" little me" its in the know of the the revolution against the Cabal and to achieve a better life for our children…simply to say "humanity fighting for truth"..
As my personal challenge is to meet a real person from this revolution but i understand that is a unrealistic wish .I learn every day..read a lot to educate myself & others such as your comment from
November 6, 2012 – The White Hats Statement
…Work with us and we will take it back from the thieves and Traitors. Name, Blame and Shame. You have the moral high ground. Use it. We are able and willing to escalate it. We are already working on it now.Do we help the US or leave you drifting feeding Wookies and Bandits?
You only have one real Allie who stands toe to toe with you every time. So – respect their opinions. We came back from Empire oblivion. You are now heading into it with no idea how bad it will be. Releasing hard Intel will progress the GS and RV issues by a Bush fire under their **.
Waiting will go nowhere. Just neutered Klingons waiting for a hand out are a joke. Self help. When they fear you, they pay you. Otherwise, they use you. History just repeats itself. When do we learn? Doing nothing, begets nothing. Stay Amazing
LP says: Peter O'Toole is quoted as once having said that he wanted this dry cleaning label as his epitaph: "Dear Sir, We regret to return to you goods which are imperfect."
My hope is that these sheisters have a quick turnaround for pick-up, metaphorically speaking.
Keep up the crucial work. Americans aren't all sleeping. Watch what we give back when freed to do so.
Tammy says: Agreed LP. I hope we can vote the sheisters out of office.
George says: Tammy, Read Casey Daily Dispatch today. Not that I agree with him totally but you can see why Merle wrote Are The Good Times Really Over For Good. Its gonna take more that voting, Think Frederick Douglass in the article.
allen says: If you wanted to deliver a message that would have the power to affect the future of the world, would you do it under these energetics, specifically at 8:00 pm ET tonight? Such a message is scheduled to be delivered at that time from Washington, DC. The Illuminati astrologers chose well.
—–Wise owls see what others miss. They see the set-up. The message is a game.
It will try to incite violence and rebellion. It's bold and pushes the limits. It will play into other messages that are being delivered, messages that will also try to incite violence and rebellion.
It's an attempt to provoke but it will not work out the way they intend. Like all their moves this year, this one won't go the way they plan. Humanity is really more like a parliament of owls, not a pandemonium of parrots (no disrespect to the gifts of the parrot intended.) We have divine sources helping us see through the game into wisdom.
All of these themes can be taken into the realm of our individual lives. The energy affects the macro level of global affairs as well as the micro level of interpersonal affairs. the goddess Columbia, the feminine half of the namesake for Washington, DC – the other being George Washington, of course] that the Illuminati historically love to try and manipulate.
In the Sibley chart for the birth of the US, the US' natal Mercury is aspected at 8:00 pm. For those who did not know, the US' natal Chiron – wounding – is the degree of the Eris Point – 21 Aries, which will be activated by Mars with a square. It is an attempt to wound the nation for sure.) we`ll see (me) http://www.oraclereport.com/
Victor says: very interesting timing of the speech tonight. usually they give major speeches at 9pm est. now its 8pm…
Biff says: It just happens to be that there's a relatively major astrological alignment at 8pm; one particularly suited to facilitate state actions. I can assure you this is no coincidence. Their games are so very silly.
Seg says: WHA, Does the TRN need to be released prior to the PPs ? Thank you
whitehatauxiliaries says: Hi Seg, To tell you the truth, at this point, with so many things going on in the background, and the changes that might occur out of our sight, based on who knows what and heaven knows why, I really do not know.
After January, if we do not see any success this year, then I have some plans for a parley with those who know. I will do my best to ascertain as much as I can for us all at that time.
For now, we just wait to see how this year plays out.
jamesdarren says: WHA…. thanks for your efforts/zeal for truth and facts…. Zap/Poof today says Jan or later for the TRN as does the Landa site(got to think those guys are one and the same or connected)….
I do think they are connected to real info in some fashion… but that is just my whacko brain I know nothing of fact…. I read alot of stuff coming and going from different corners accept some of the Dinar land bozo reports…. curious to see how things pan out now as per OWoN for this year… coming down to the wire so to speak… thanks again very very much for your site and you passion!
whitehatauxiliaries says: Thank you for your readership! And yes, in my bones I do not think we are going to see anything happen in 2014. That is just my opinion, and not based on Landa either.
The official "abandon ship" for 2014 has not come down the pike yet, but I think it's all but assured. The reason I say this is because a public RV during the holidays would be mass chaos on steroids.
People run over each other to the point of death to get an X-box at Walmart. Imagine what they will do with dongs and maybe dinar cash out funds in hand.
As for PP completion, we wait and see. But, I have my doubts on that as well, for 2014. Thanks again.
Victor says: to be honest i think we may have a very good chance to see things come to a head this weekend possibly. im not sure if anyone of you are familiar with phoenix rising on fb. he has a decent group of followers. anyways…3 years ago he took part in something called REMOTE VIEWING…which basically shows random events that will take place during the time right before our rv..the list as follows:
Shot Heard Around the World Balcony November Anniversary Take Over Signing something over
Military Disneyland Florida Memphis Coined Mint Honor Money Draw Horse House Market
now…i know there are protests this weekend being planned for the Ferguson announcement..if we do indeed see a shot heard around the world, we know we are right there. supposedly a man is to be shot in front of a podium, which will lead to a series of rather quickly unfolding events.
Martin says: OWoN November 21, 2014 at 2:00:00 AM MST
Next Thursday is Thanksgiving, which means as usual, no one shows up on Friday. It's a nation of Children. Wives put husbands on standby to take them shopping and to help with Turkeys etc,
So no shows start as early as Tuesday. Every year they are infuriating. It gets worse.
They go to see their Mothers out of state. Many stay the week end. Few will travel back on their own time on Sunday so there are airline queues on Monday with many missing flights and only flying back on Tuesday. No shows are a real problem. Its the me , me society. I want, I want.
So the second week again is wrecked with more chaos. We normally write off all US trade between mid November and late February. For something as big as this, it will be a horror story of incompetence.
Like dealing with La La land. Put your contracts first and go for the sure thing. You can't depend on or trust the clowns running this an inch. It comes when it comes, they you adjust fast. We will give you at least 48 hours notice and that's enough to get to a major bank of good standing with Forex capability.
We are down their throats daily for a closure program. Its an ever evolving nightmare dealing with combined special interests corrupting it, and collective stupidity. You have survived this far, whenever it breaks you can handle it. The major Tiers may take up the first few weeks and the Public to follow later.
On all we see, it's chaos. A lot of these Turkeys deserve to join the Turkey queue. You will have the time, we will ensure you know asap. We know its importance to so many.

chris g says: Sounds like February/march even with things flowing properly.
ming says: well, dear Owon, people have families – families i mean, any idea what this means? –
for many people it is the most important thing in life…and they are happy to devote some time with them, sharing some turkeys and other delicious food they worked for to be able to pay for…
and they are not stupid at all…they are ordinary people who work all day to make a modest living which they share with their family…
and if all this money comes – which you have been predicting for such a long time – they will be happy to share it, with their family, their friends, and others they have a great respect for..
"It's a nation of Children…. Its the me , me society. I want, I want"
show some respect for hard working people who like to take some time off to share some happy moments with their family…you understand the word ;: family?
John s. says: Ming – I for one don't appreciate your disrespect for our benefactor. If I was the moderator you would be banned. Your arrogance is astounding! And you were upset in my judgement because the truth john spoke hit a little to close to your childish existence. Chew on that while you are chewing your turkey.
naturalized citizen says: Perhaps Ming exists in the microcosm of his immediate family members; however, OWoN and WH are working outside of that small unit known as "family" because the damage the Cabal has done to the humanity must come to an end.
By being only concerned about their own well-being and the survival of the Khazar while ignoring the fact completely that the mentally impaired Zionists are dependent on the macrocosm that encompasses all of us.
I have observed how people change when they come to the US regardless of how humble their lives used to be prior to landing on the US soil; they quickly adopt the American way of life, by pursuing and accumulating material possession, but we need to relearn, instead, what really matters: the pursuit of inner fulfillment.
The truth is that we have enough to go around among all of us, but the world and its resources have been mismanaged by very sick people for centuries. We need to walk away from the old way; otherwise, the planet Earth will come to an end very soon. It is that serious.
We are interdependent, and in time, Ming will know that for his family to thrive, the families in Ethiopia, for example, need to thrive, too.
NoProphet says: You have eloquently and effectively demonstrated everything that is wrong with America; "It's all about me!" It's ironic that your comment substantiates and reinforces the very quote that you chose to highlight.
I'm going to go out on a limb here (sorry, I can't help adding a touch of sarcasm here), but I am pretty certain OWON did not have you in mind when he penned this epistle.
Perhaps you should brush that chip off your shoulder, re-read OWON's comment, and understand that there may be many others much, much closer to the action that are in fact deserving of the comments made.
Martin says: OWoN's response above was in response to this comment regarding giving an answer to a contractor for this coming week, so when OWoN says put your contracts first it was in reference to the readers comment/question. Here is the comment/question:
But by this time of the week it must be pretty clear what will transpire this coming week, or not? Today I am suppose to give answer to one of my contractors for this coming week, I need 2 days to deal with stuff min, to get to Switzerland 1 day …… ,

HKmarkets says: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2014 AT 3:14:00 PM MST Allow me please to qualify a response which appeared on WHA to help avoid confusion. I was asked earlier today if a readers could safely risk not taking on a new contract if we are close. He has a wife and family.
My respectful and caring comment, albeit acerbic, was to indicate that there are so many pampered children in the Finance Industries, who will use any excuse with holidays to skip work, irrespective of the knock on consequences to others. My cautious comment was to protect his sure thing money and family.
If we still get the break he is then doubly blessed. If not we kept him safe. Reality is hard and not for dreamers. As for great men of morality in Banking???
Behind every Public Great Man is a VERY surprised wife or Lady! So, Yes we are still very much ON standby, but I chose with care not to motivate a reader to take a wild risk. We dont want them gambling their lives on these Varmints. .A step at a time. Just take care and hope IS still alive.

Tammy says: Good article shows why Americans continue to devolve into subhumans:
allen says: Dr. Masaru Emoto Returns Home in a Starburst of Radiant Splendor
On October 17, 2014, (October 18th in New Zealand) Dr. Emoto left the physical plane of Earth in a Starburst of Light. This occurred as the people at the Waitaha Water Gathering in New Zealand journeyed to a Sacred Site in the far North, where they would hear of the Kaitiaki.
The Kaitiaki are a tribal group who look after and keep safe a Sacred Portal through which souls pass who are leaving the physical plane when it is time for their transition into the Heavenly Realms.
This Sacred Site is lovingly called Cape Farewell, or Te Rerenga Wairua. This is one of the most sacred places on Earth and it is only now that this Portal of Light is being revealed to the masses of Humanity.
It is not by coincidence that Dr. Emoto, the gentle visionary who dedicated his life to Healing the Waters of the World, left the physical plane in the midst of a 6,500 year old Waitaha Water Ceremony, which was Divinely Intended to infuse the "Way of Peace" into the Earth's Water Element.
Synchronistically, Dr. Emoto's passing and the Waitaha Water Gathering happened while the Earth was being held in the embrace of a very powerful Lunar and Solar Eclipse cycle.
As Dr. Emoto passed through the Portal in Cape Farewell, he magnetized the Rainbow of Light that was encoded with the patterns of perfection from the Portal of Precipitation in Wyoming through the Heart Flames of the people gathered at the Waitaha Water Gathering and secured it within his own Heart Flame.
Then, in an upward rush of the Ascension Flame, Dr. Emoto Ascended through a Pillar of Light into the Heavenly Realms permanently opening a new Portal of Light.
This new Portal of Light allowed the Mighty Solar Elohim and the Directors of the Elements to project the Immaculate Concept of the "Way of Peace" into ALL of the Waters of the World.
The Sacred Knowledge from the "Way of Peace" was then encoded into the Core of Purity in every molecule of Water on the Planet by the 5th-Dimensional Solar Undines.
Now with the "Way of Peace" pulsating within every molecule of the Water Element on Earth and all of the Water Element associated with the Emotional Strata of Earth and Humanity's Emotional Bodies, this Sacred Knowledge is daily and hourly filtering into Humanity's hearts and minds.
This is the Waitaha Peoples Gift to the World in the hope that Humanity will intensify our service to the Light and Lovingly accept our newly acquired stewardship of the Elemental Kingdom.
This Activity of Light was also Dr. Emoto's Gift of Gratitude to Humanity, in appreciation for the assistance we gave to him in revealing the Consciousness of Water to the World.
Now he will be working with Humanity and the precious Waitaha People from the Heavenly Realms as we integrate the "Way of Peace" into our Earthly experiences through reverence for the Water Element.
Dr. Emoto was with his Beloved Wife at the time of his passing. His last word was "ARIGATO" which means "Thank You" in Japanese.
One of Dr. Emoto's well known sayings was, "Life is LOVE which is a Gift from God and parents, and DEATH is Gratitude for going to a New Dimension." And so it is! http://www.eraofpeace.org/news/
What a blessed soul we(humanity) were fortunate to have among us,sharing with us his knowledge of the conscious of water
Happy Thanks Givings to all . Some of will be traveling . Have a safe trip.
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

When David Cameron goes for a run he is just another "middle aged, slightly overweight" jogger "trotting past" oblivious tourists, the Prime Minister has admitted.
Speaking candidly about how he spends his rare free time Mr Cameron said London parks are "so full of tourists" he is rarely recognised when he goes for his twice weekly jog in the green spaces around Westminster.
However despite the regular runs he admitted that his age is starting to "creep up on him" when it comes to more strenuous exercise.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2's Steve Wright in the Afternoon, Mr Cameron seemed relieved that he could still have a moment to himself as he exercised and revealed his surprise at the loss of privacy he experienced when he became Prime Minister almost four years ago.
He said: "When you're leader of the opposition as I was for five years you are in the public eye and running a political party but you still have a lot of privacy, you don't have a lot of security.
"So when I became Prime Minister, I suppose the first time you try and open the door of the car and you realise it weighs about five tonnes and its quite difficult to open.
"You suddenly realise: I can't pop down to the newsagents anymore and buy a packet of bacon and a newspaper. That was the biggest shock actually in terms of the privacy.
Mr Cameron also spoke about juggling family life with wife Samantha, with whom he will celebrate his 18th anniversary this year, and the "all-encompassing" job of being the Prime Minister.
David and Samantha Cameron on holiday in Polzeath, Cornwall, last year (MATT CARDY/GETTY IMAGES)
The evening routine at Number 10 will be familiar to many busy parents: the Camerons spend their evenings at home having a quick dinner, a chat about their children's day and a half an hour of television before falling asleep.
Mr Cameron said: "Its certainly true that this job in all-encompassing and you never take you eye off it. If I go upstairs [at] the end of the day and I'm with the children, you are still on the phone, you are still contactable if there is any decision that needs to be taken or anything difficult that is happening, anywhere in the world.
"I'm lucky to have an amazing wife in Samantha and we absolutely love our life together. We are so proud of our children and we try to make time for each other and make sure that at the end of the day we'll sit down and have something to eat and chat about what the children are up to, and what she's doing, and what I've done and then, like everyone else I guess, half and hour of Silent Witness and we're both asleep."
When he is not watching the BBC forensic crime series Mr Cameron said he was a fan of the pacy thriller Homeland which stars Clare Danes as a CIA agent who falls for British actor Damian Lewis, a political prisoner turned al-Qaeda operative. Barack Obama last year revealed that it featured amongst his favourite TV shows too.
Homeland (REX FEATURES)
And as the rest of the country has been tuning in to recent instalments of Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock, the Prime Minister has been one set ahead after "Father Christmas" brought him a box-set of the much-hyped American version of the show, Elementary, set in modern day Manhattan.
British singer-songwriter Tom Odell
In a move guaranteed to embarrass his three children Mr Cameron described himself as an "old romantic", picking British singer-songwriter Tom Odell's hit "Grow Old With Me" as his current favourite song because it reminds him of his wife Samantha.

James Mitchell Wins Irish Open 2010
Mitchell Shines Above 708-Strong Field at PaddyPowerPoker Irish Open 2010
After four days of poker-filled madness at Dublin's Burlington Hotel, Englishman James Mitchell was crowned champion of the PaddyPowerPoker.com Irish Open 2010.
The 20-year-old beat 707 players to the first place prize of €600,000 including big names such as Dan Harrington, Brian Townsend, Kara Scott, Christer Johansson, Neil Channing, and finally heads-up opponent Irishman Paul Carr in what turned out to be an explosive event overall.
The final table payouts from third place to eight were:
3. Santeri Valikoski €205,200
4. Robert Sherwood €163,300
5. Ben Roberts €130,600
6. Ed Sweeney €100,800
7. Declan Connolly €74,600
8. Peter Murphy €56,000
Robert Sherwood also took down the €100,000 Sole Survivor package for outstanding 129 other PaddyPowerPoker qualifiers.
There were tormenting twists and turns heads up, particularly in the following three hands:
Carr bet 150,000 on the button and Mitchell popped it to 450,000. Carr then shoved and Mitchell went into the tank. Finally he made the call for his tournament life and showed A 6. Carr revealed pocket queens. As tension peaked on the tournament floor with dozens of supporters railing the two young men, the board was slowly dealt.
Carr remained ahead on the K 9 3 7 board, but howls could soon be heard from miles away as an ace dropped on the river. A dejected and shocked Carr saw most of his stack go to the hands of Mitchell, and he was left with just 700,000 in chips.
The next important hand to mention is when Mitchell moved all in on the button and Carr [pictured right] made the call. Carr showed A 5 while Mitchell flipped over K 6. The board fell 9 2 2 7 8 and Carr doubled up to 1.4 million, decreasing Mitchell's stack to 5.6 million. This ray of hope livened up a rail filled with Irish friends, fans, and local well-wishers.
Finally, Mitchell picked up A 8 and raised to 160,000 on the button. Carr made the call with Q 5 and the flop came down J J 8. Carr checked, Mitchell bet 205,000 and Carr shoved all in in what was to be the final hand of the event. Carr needed help but none came as the turn and river fell 4 and 8.
The final table featured some fantastic play and exciting races but in the end the Terry Rogers memorial trophy and first place prize of €600,000 leaves Ireland for England, and Carr must settle for the €312,600 second place prize.
PaddyPowerPoker's live stream featured on Card Player throughout, and the tournament is scheduled for broadcast on RTE 2 in Ireland and Sky Sports later in the year.

Beautiful home, open and airy, modern, with every amenity. This was truly the nicest home we have rented in many years. Comfortable beds and rooms. A great expanse of porch from which we saw bald eagles and deer meandering across the dirt road. The waterfront area was small but adequate and the lake is very clean. Our 11 and 6 year olds particularly loved the water trampoline. A fire pit at the beach allowed nightly fires with s'mores. The owner was great about promptly answering our questions prior to our stay. We loved blueberry picking nearby.
Wow - where to start?? We had an absolutely wonderful week at this property. The owner has gone to great lengths to provide everything anyone could possibly want in a lakefront vacation property, and was very helpful in advance, answering my many questions. We had previously rented beach houses in NC, but never in this "neck of the woods". The design of the home and the decor was flawless. Brand new appliances, new dock, bunco-raft, kayaks, all the amenities...the pictures don't do it justice. Gorgeous views, sunsets, lush wooded surroundings on a quiet picturesque lake (do bring the bug spray-damp this year!). We especially enjoyed hearing loons. Didn't have to haul bedding, linens, beach towels, pots/pans, small appliances, games, puzzles ...everything is already there! Even a full cupboard of spices! Our group made good use of the pool/ping pong room in the basement, the great sound system, the reading room, the expansive front porch, gas grill out back, and roasted marshmallows down by the dock. A newly built home and a newly renovated cabin (side by side) provided housing for our family of 9. We ate dinner at Poor People's Pub in Sanbornville, our first night; food and service were great! Lots to do in the Lakes region;and within an hours' drive the Atlantic Ocean, Maine, Lake Winnepesaukee, hiking, jet-skiing, sight-seeing, whale watching, antiquing and more. We did get tired of driving...too much to explore in one short week! A very relaxing environment...something for everyone! Would definitely recommend it for families. It was our first trip to New Hampshire, and probably not our last!
Communications with the owner, Cinny, beforehand were excellent. Receipts were always provided, and the contract was straightforward. Directions were provided, but we used our GPS. In retrospect, the directions provided were easier to follow.
When we reached our destination, we were thrilled with the beauty. The house itself is stunning, and the attached camp is impressive as well. The only thing that gave us pause was that you have to cross a small road to get to the beach area. It turned out that this wasn't a problem, at all. Very little traffic, and the view from the deck is uninterrupted. The beach area has a very nice grassy area, great for outdoor games, and a picnic table provided.
It would be impossible to describe how beautiful the inside of the house is. My father does carpentry, and was so impressed with the quality of the work in the house. The rooms were large, and the extremely comfortable. I felt like the owners spared no expense with the furnishings. Everything from the appliances to the dishware to the bedding was first class.
The house is somewhat removed from the beaten path, which worked for us! It took about 10 minutes to get to the local stores, about 20 minutes to major shopping. North Conway is about an hour away, as is Portland.
Five adults and 2 children had plenty of room. We could have easly accommodated 4 more people. We have a 5 year old, as well as a 14 year old. The swimming was good for both ages. My youngest could wade out along the sandy bottom, and my 14 year old could jump off the dock, or the provided bongo raft. The basement pool/ ping pong table provided entertainment during rainy days.
I would reccommend this house for families looking to get away from it all. I have already made inquiries about renting again next year!
A 9% NH room and meals tax will be added to the rental price.

LAS VEGAS (AP) – Washington and Texas will become the first teams in any major U.S. sport to play a regular-season game in China when they meet in 2015.
The non-conference game will be played on Nov. 14, 2015.
The Pac-12 also announced it will also send an all-star basketball team to China for a tour this August. The team, which will be coached by Oregon State's Craig Robinson, will play two to three exhibition games in at least two Chinese cities.
The game and tour were created through the Pac-12's Globalization Initiative. Since it was formed in 2011, the conference has sent two men's teams and a women's basketball team, a women's all-star volleyball team, and a delegation of men's basketball coaches to China for competitive exhibitions and clinics.

Should Children Use Mobile Phones
Do you think it is harmless to give a mobile phone to your child? Think twice before you do so. Read about the effects having mobile phones can have on children's life. Having a mobile phone can result in health problems in children and can have adverse effects on physical and mental health.
As the years go by, human life is also changing constantly! Mobile phones were previously seen only among few high class people and were considered as something lavish! Then slowly, you saw even the average or the common man on the street like your cobbler or vegetable vendor having a cellphone! See the world today, and you can find even young kids and school going children busily chatting away on their mobile phones! Today you find kids as young as seven and eight owning a mobile phone. Welcome to the new age world!
Marketing of Mobile Phone Companies
Nowadays, there are companies which manufacture specially designed mobile phones targeted exclusively to the young children. There are cell phones for kids with pictures of cartoon characters in order to attract the attention of children and increase sales. Kids are a target audience for even mobile phones in today's age!
Mobile Phones Effects on Academics
Teachers in schools are complaining of increasing indiscipline in class ever since young children started bringing mobile phones to class. According to these teachers students who bring cell phones to school talk on the phone during class and send messages. They do not pay attention and play on their cell phones during class hours. They thus miss out on lessons being taught and fall behind the other students. Their entire concentration is on the mobile phone and not on their studies. The teachers say that students with mobile phones are uninterested in studies during class hours. Their attention is more on the mobile phone rather than on the blackboard.
Overall Effects on Children
According to some children who have a cell phone, it is a status symbol for them among the others. The more the phone is modern and stylish, the better because it increases prestige among friends and other schoolmates. Mobile phones have a major effect on children and can bring about undesirable changes in their lifestyle. These children become so obsessed with the phone. They are constantly checking messages, and do not do the important things that young children should do. Instead of spending time playing sports in the fresh air and engaging in other creative activities and hobbies, they spend most of their time on the phone. According to scientists, keeping in continuous contact with people can get addictive.
Health hazards of Mobile Phones on Children
Studies recommend that mobile phones should only be given to children above sixteen years of age. Children below the age of sixteen should not be given mobile phones since their brain is too sensitive to withstand the effects of mobile radiation. Since the tissues in the brain and body are still developing, these radiations can cause cell damage. Due to absorption of radiation, children can have severe health issues. Although adults also get affected by these radiations it will be more severe in children because of increased absorption of these radiation levels. Experts also believe there is a link between childhood cancer and mobile phone usage among children.
Misuse of Mobile Phones
There are high chances of misuse of the mobile phone, by children who have them. Children may send and receive vulgar messages and pictures. Children can have access to adult websites.
Advice for Parents
We live in a dangerous world where so many incidents of crime against children.
Parents of children having mobile phones must take some steps to ensure safety of the child. Parents should warn and keep children aware of the various mobile phone crimes. Sometimes it is possible for a child to get stalked by strangers over the phone. Parents of young children who have a mobile phone must get a post-paid connection and check the cell phone bill when it arrives.
Mobile phones for children – a Boon or a Bane
Although there might be a few advantages of children having mobile phones, there are more adverse effects. One good advantage being that children can call up their parents in case of an emergency or if they are stuck in some place.
Parents can have peace of mind.
But, more and more experts are warning about the disastrous and negative effects which a mobile phone can have on the physical and mental health of young kids.

Recently I was trying to make my own crop top and I cut it way too short! So I decided I was going to make a maxi dress incorporating the crop top, and also a dress I had purchased, but didn't like the top of. Here is how I made this adorable maxi dress!
Both pieces were horrible, as you can see.
1. Cut the dress the length you want the skirt to be. I tried it on and marked it with a Sharpie. I cut it slightly higher so I could have a longer skirt because the dress was a little too short to begin with.
2. Turn both pieces inside out. Start to pin the pieces together, right sides together.
4. Flip the dress right side out to double check that everything is good and even.
5. Sew a single stitch all the way around.
This is how the dress looks after finishing the sewing.
I absolutely love how this dress turned out, and I finally found a way to use some disaster pieces!

Hello all,
Planning in earnest now for our next trip which is France (Lyon, Sarlat, Amboise, Paris) October 3-18. We'll have 5 nights, 4 full days, in Sarlat-la-Caneda in an apartment in the old town. I'm trying to group things logically to maximize our short time, knowing that we may not get to everything, which is perfectly ok, and I've come up with this tentative plan.
Husband requested Pech Merle and Lascaux. I want to see Grotte de Padirac. The other sites were selected with help from the Michelin Green Guide and reading up on the forums, particularly TPAYT, yestravel, MaitaiTom and Stu Dudley' s itinerary.
We're not great shoppers so probably won't linger overlong at the Market. We love beautiful scenery, good food, pretty gardens and chateau. We really want to canoe or take the gabarres on the river. We're hoping for nice weather and fewer crowds than high summer. Restaurant suggestions are always welcome!
Monday: Drive Lyon to Sarlat (4.5 -5 hours). Check into apartment.
Maybe canoe or gabarres trip down river
Tuesday: (Unfortunately the Musee National Prehistoire is closed on Tuesday because ideally we'd see that before visiting the caves).
Rocamadour (from L'Hospitalet, if time, visit the town)
Gouffre de Padirac (10-12/2-5, reserve for what time?)
Beaux Villages: Loubressac, Carennac, Martel, Collonges-la-Rouge
Wednesday: Sarlat Market day, Eglise St. Sacerdos
Chateau de Beynac
Chateau de Castelnaud
Chateau Marqueyssac
View/visit La Roque Gageac
Option 1: Pech Merle 1030am English tour (reserved)
St. Cirq Lapopie
Option 2: Pech Merle 1030am English tour (reserved)
Chateau de Milands
La Roque Gageac
(Could we fit Domme and Chateau de Milands in any other day?)
Friday: Musee National Prehistoire (930-6) in Les Eyzies-de-Tayac
Lascaux II (930-6)
Grotte de Rouffignac (10-1130/2-5)
Roque St. Christophe (10-6)
Jardins Du Manoir D'Eyrignac
Please let me know what you think.

Dordogne Itinerary
Hello all,
Report Abuse
I think you are underestimating the time it takes to drive from one town/village to another. Even tho' google maps says it only takes 01h05, you have to add at least 20% to the drive time (plus the occasional "getting lost") especially for D-roads. Add parking and the actual walking around the village or town.
For Tuesday, you are visiting Rocamadour, Le Gouffre then 4 more villages. I think its a bit too much. We were there last July and going again this October. We are not by any means slow travelers but 3 villages is our max otherwise we won't enjoy any of those.
In St Cirq La Popie, just to get on top takes a bit of walking/hiking. Then you have to go to Figeac, which is a large-ist city and then to Cahors, which is a big town. I think you need to pare a bit your must-sees.
Report Abuse
I'm glad you got some help from my TR. The Dordogne was one of our best vacations ever.
I agree with JoyC---it takes longer to drive than you think it will and then some places it takes a while to find a parking spot. Also, every place you visit is so fabulous that you will want to spend some time and not hurry.
That said, I'll bet it's stunning scenery in Oct.
I'll be watching for your TR.
Report Abuse
Wow, I travel HARD, and I would find this schedule a challenge. As JoyC has said, your estimates of travel times seem on the short side...
I recommend that you identify your highest priority sites (sounds like you've already done that!) and then work out the routes that let you maximize you visits to the other things on your wish-list. You might not see everything you would like to see, but you might see a LOT more than you would see if you tried to plan everything moe minutely. (And I say that as a died-in-the-wool planner!)
Pech Merle is, IMO, breathtaking. The Grotte de Padirac and Lascaux II are magnificent. Consider trying to visit the Font de Gaume, too -- awesome!
Report Abuse
We stay near Domme, and left early (8am) for Rocamadour & got there before the hoards arrived. Then we drove to the Gouffre de Padirac and arrived for the last tour of the morning before the lunch closings. So the villages plus Rocamadour & Padirac are certainly doable if you get a very early start. Collonges la Rouge is far away from the others, so I don't think you could fit it in.
Peche Merle, St Cirq Lapopie, Figeac & Cahors are really too much for one day, IMO. Parking is difficult & time consuming in Cahors & Figeac. If you have read my itinerary, then you know that we much prefer Figeac over Cahors. Plus a drive along the Cele River is a treat. Visit some of the villages along the Cele.
After a long day of driving from Lyon, I would not want to embark on another long drive to get to Rocamadour - so I would swap Tuesday & Wednesday. If so, I would also swap Thurs & Friday. So it's close-to-Sarlat, long drive, close-to-Sarlat, long drive for the 4 days.
Also, don't use Google for estimating times - it is not very accurate. Use www.Viamichelin.com instead .
For visiting Domme - consider having dinner there & head out from Sarlat around 5:30 pm for a visit before dinner. You could do the same for Roque Gageac and Beynac - but Beynac does not have any restaurants that I would recommend.
Ch Beynac is "above" town, so unless you are prepared for a steep walk up or down - you'll have to get in the car & drive if you want to visit both the chateau and the village.

Here's my trip report (in words and photos) from 2012. Chapters Three though Seven describe our five nights in the Dordogne (also based in Sarlat). We had a great time. Enjoy!
Report Abuse
Y'all are awesome!
We use viamichelin.com for travel times estimates. We learned from hard experience that google just doesn't get it in Europe.
We're used to not seeing everything on the agenda. I'm an (over)ambitious planner but we go with the flow once on the ground. kja--what you said is exactly what we try to do!
Font de Gaume is not on the list because husband is slightly claustrophobic. He really wants to see Pech Merle and is mentally prepared for feeling claustrophobic--he's been warned!
@Stu, I'll look at the logistics of swapping Tuesday & Wednesday given that the Sarlat market is only on Wednesday. I also didn't want another long drive right after getting there from Lyon...
Pech Merle only has the English Tour on Thursday so we can't swap that. I'll look closer at your itinerary for the drive and villages along the Cele. I love the idea of seeing Domme in the evening!
@Maitaitom, your trip report and blog are partly why this itinerary is so ambitious. Husband and I read it and want to do everything y'all did!

"Tuesday: (Unfortunately the Musee National Prehistoire is closed on Tuesday because ideally we'd see that before visiting the caves).

You can definitely do this one! We had 11 a.m. reservations at Gouffre de Padirac on this day, although we went on the 10:30 tour (not without a scolding however).
Report Abuse
Wednesday is too crowded. The pleasure of Marqueyssac is to walk around the ridge for the view. A leisurely visit will take a couple of hours at a minimum. Tours of the chateuax of Beynac and Castelnaud will also take more time than suggested by just giving a list. Add lunch which will take another hour and a half if it is not a quick picnic, and it will feel like a rushed visit.
There is a similar problem with Friday. The roads to Rouffignac are small and slow, and you have to allow for time around the tour (arrive early as there are no reservations). It is also in the opposite direction from Eyrignac relative to Sarlat. A visit to Rouffignac pretty much ate up a morning--I've taken visitors to the site multiple times.
Given the ambitious schedules, you might want to use viamichelin to figure out travel times between the sights.
Report Abuse
Recognizing that we may not be able to do it all, how's this for Tuesday and Wednesday?
Tuesday: Chateau de Beynac
Chateau de Castelnaud
Chateau Marqueyssac
View/visit La Roque Gageac, maybe have dinner here
Wednesday: Sarlat Market (go when it opens for a quick visit)
Beaux Villages: Go to Collanges-la-Rouge first then hit whichever villages we can (Martel, Carennac, Loubressac) before tour at Gouffre de Padirac
Gouffre de Padirac (10-12/2-5) reserve ahead for last tour of the day, 4pm.
Rocamadour: view from L'Hospitalet then maybe dinner in town before heading back to Sarlat
I really (think) I want to see Chateau Milands but that's hard to fit in. Jardins Du Manoir D'Eyrignac aren't high on the priority list since we're heading to Loire Valley after Sarlat.
Gotta get my maps and Stu's itinerary to refine Thursday and Friday.
Report Abuse
It is at least a 1 1/4 hr drive from Rocamadour to Sarlat. The earliest you might be able to eat dinner in Rocamadour at a nice restaurant is 7:30 pm. Dinner will be over around 9:30. Then a 30 min walk to the car. It will be dark at 10:00 when you head back to Sarlat - and there are many small & winding roads to take. Personally, I would not do it - especially after a tiring day of driving & sight-seeing. Do the Rocamadour trip on another day if you want to visit the Sarlat market. Or visit the le Bugue market on Tuesday.
Stu Dudley

Thanks, Stu! We'll plan to view Rocamadour from L'Hospitalet but make our way back to Sarlat for dinner. We definitely don't want to take chances with the driving.
Report Abuse
Well - the views from L'Hospitalet are better in the morning. In the afternoon/evening the sun will be in your face & the views not so great. I would do the trip in reverse starting with Rocamadour, and omitting Collonges la Rouge if you run out of time.
Stu Dudley
Report Abuse
Tuesday is still a busy day, but doable. I would skip the Château Marqueyssac. There are fine views from the gardens, but that's about it--you will see the valley just as well from Châteaux Beynac and Castelnaud. As you want to see Château des Milandes, you could probably fit it in if you skip Marqueyssac.
I think your itinerary for Wednesday is likely too ambitious. As others have noted, you should not underestimate driving times in this part of France. Perhaps you should reverse your itinerary, starting at Rocamadour, then Padirac and then see how much time left you have for the various villages you want to see.
I'm heading back to the Dordogne next month, based again in La Roque-Gageac. Last time we spent two weeks there and in that time never got beyond a 30km radius and still didn't see everything we wanted. I think I've learned not to be overly ambitious in just how much one can do--better to savour what you can and not to spend a lot of time on the road.
Report Abuse
Obviously Stu and I were writing at the same time, but we are in accord on your Wednesday itinerary.

I would also skip Rocamadour for dinner. We did have lunch there the day we drove to all those towns (thought the view of Rocamadour from L'Hospitalet was better than the town itself). Even with lunch in Rocamadour, we made it back to Sarlat in plenty of time for dinner. If you skip visiting Rpcamadour and have lunch along the way, you'll be able to hit all those towns easily in a day, and be back for wine before dinner.
Report Abuse
Sounds like your itinerary is taking shape. We took things pretty easily on our trip but for me the gardens were a highlight I very much enjoyed.
Here are some posts on the Dordogne that might be helpful though I'm not sure if these are still under consideration.
Chateau Milandes
I'm not sure what direction you are coming from but we very much enjoyed Conques
Have a wonderful trip!
Report Abuse
Does anyone know what time the market in Sarlat gets started? If it starts pretty early, then we can spend half hour to 45 minutes perusing it on our way out (maybe pick up picnic supplies) then see Rocamadour first and onto Padirac and the towns. And hopefully still have time for wine (yay) before dinner!
@laverendrye and welltraveledbrit, thank you for chiming in. I think I will replace Marqueyssac with Milandes.
Husband and I are not able to take long vacations yet (2 weeks in one place--that's the dream!) but hopefully one day we'll be able to slow way down. We do like to keep busy on vacation (maitaitom and Tracey are our heroes, lol) but are rarely upset if we can't fit something in because we always hope to return... Exception: I was truly sad to miss the Audrey Hepburn exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery last month because it's temporary and we won't be back while it's on.

Markets usually start at 9AM - but watching them "set up" before then is interesting.

If I remember correctly (please be advised I occasionally have a cocktail and have been know to be incorrect on times) the food stalls open very early and the other stalls open at 8:30. It was in full swing by the time we got down there, and I usually get the troops up early (which is why mutiny is always on their mind). In any event, although I am not a "Market Guy," I actually liked this one. Have fun.
Report Abuse
>> I think I will replace Marqueyssac with Milandes.<<
I did not visit the Les Jardins de Marqueyssac until my 4th visit to the Dordogne. I really liked it. Having said that i think Les Milandes is a good replacement. I recommend renting/buying ($5 on Amazon) the film " The Josephine Baker Story " as trip preparation . Josephine Baker was an amazing person with an amazing life story.
Then Tuesday: Chateau de Castelnaud ( Do this castle 1st, most physically demanding, long walk from car parking area, lots of stairs, lots to see)
Chateau de Beynac (Drive to parking lot at the castle, saves a steep climb from the river)
Chateau Les Milandes (make sure you are here at a time you can see the birds of prey show (October 1-16: weekdays 11am, 3:30pm / weekends 11am, 3pm and 4:30pm).
Choose from View/visit La Roque Gageac/ Beynac/Domme, maybe have dinner here. We had an excellent dinner at La Petite Tonnelle (near the riverside, on the road to Beynac castle). In Domme I can recommend dinner at the Hotel de L'Esplanade (stayed there on one trip) or the simple outdoor restaurant next door on the edge of the cliff. For a gourmet dinner I recommend Le Petit Paris in nearby Daglan. In Sarlat we had an excellent dinner at Les Jardins d'Harmony and a good dinner at Le Bistro de l'Octoi.

On our first trip to Paris in 2003 we rented an apartment and they had CDs of Josephine Baker's music. We listened to them everyday for a week and fell in love--with her music, with Paris, with life again (this was a few days after the Iraq War started and we were very down). I think Milandes is a must see. I will be renting the Josephine Baker movie, thank you for the recommendation.
dugi_otok, thank you also for the advice of which order to see the sights and restaurants. That's extremely helpful!
I think we have Tuesday sorted!
So Wednesday, with the caveats that the times may be a bit off for the market starting, we could conceivably get on the road to Rocamadour by 930am. Giving 1.5 hour to drive to the viewpoint and half and hour to Padirac, we can't get there for 11am tour. They take a break from 12-2. So... I think we'll go browse around the villages, have lunch, and come back for the last Padirac tour at 4pm.

For Wed I would visit Lascaux II and the Vezere Valley . Essentually swapping your Wed and Fri. This allows for an early start for your day(Friday) in the upper Dordogne (Rocamadour plus). You then could make an early morning tour to Grotte de Padirac on Friday.
Early morning- Sarlat market.
Mid morning- Drive D704 from Sarlat to Montignac visiting: St-Genies (optional), St-Amand-de-Coly, on to Montignac (purchase your tickets for your English tour to nearby Lascaux II).Then to Lascaux II.
After the tour drive the D706 to St-Leon-sur-Vezere. Have a picnic lunch (see travels with maitaitom for details-we have done this on two occasions). Then continue on to La Roque St. Christophe. I would skip Grotte de Rouffignac and Jardins Du Manoir D'Eyrignac.
It is late afternoon. You can call it a day, or to Musee National Prehistoire in Les Eyzies ( I would not and I studied some Anthro at UCLA) . I would tour a pre arranged Font-de-Gaume. You should visit Domme.

I might add, being an Anthro person, it is a better flow to see the replica (Lascaux II) before the real thing (Grotte de Pech-Merle).

Thank you again, dugi_otok! I like your suggestions and I think they may be how we organize our days.
I've already x'd Jardins Du Manoir D'Eyrignac off the list, along with Cahors and Figeac, and Marqueyssac. I'm not sure yet about x'ing the Grotte de Rouffignac because husband was more interested in it than La Roque St. Christophe, which I'm more interested in. With going to the Market first, we absolutely would not have time for both!
Report Abuse
I think that Rouffignac is more interesting than La Roque Saint-Christophe, but it is geographically more isolated, which may be important in a crowded schedule.
Report Abuse
Rouffignac is interesting, especially with its little electric train which takes you deep into the cave to see the exquisite drawings. However, as others have noted, it will take you some time getting there and back and I don't think you can pre-book, which might add more time to your visit. La Roque Saint-Christophe is different from other pre-historic sites in that it was inhabited until the late mediaeval period and the exhibits give a good idea of how people lived there over the many millennia.
For that day I would stick to the Vezère valley and would certainly include Lascaux II.
Report Abuse
x'ing Marqueyssac? Yikes! One of our favorite days but maybe just not your thing.
Report Abuse
I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the gardens of the Dordogne, and was happy to walk them at a rather rapid pace -- I'm not much of a stroller. When I was there, some were open relatively late, so they might be something you can fit in if time permits....
Too, I don't like to drive after dinner, as I want to savor some wine with my meals and love to just relax into the evening. If you are up for a bit of a splurge meal, I had an amazing dinner at Le Grand Bleu in Sarlat, and it still seems to get good reviews....
Report Abuse
There is just TOO much to choose from!
TPAYT, we do enjoy gardens but I feel more drawn to Milands. If Marqueyssac is open late, we will try to fit in a visit. We're planning to visit Villandry in the Loire, among other chateau, so we might get a good sampling of gardens there.
As much as I don't want to x Rouffignac, it's looking like logistically it won't work out. But if we have to miss it and Marqueyssac, there's hopefully a "next time."
kja, we try to stay in town centres because we also don't enjoy getting back in the car after dinner. That's strolling time. I'll look at Le Grand Blue in Sarlat, sounds nice. I know at least one night we'll dine on the road (Domme, Bayac, or other) because that may be the only way we get to see the town.
I'm starting to feel like this will come together!
Report Abuse
I think this is what we'll do:
Tuesday: Rocamadour, Gouffre de Padirac (reserve for 1030am), Beaux Villages (Autoire, Loubressac, Carenac, Martel) I'm taking Collanges-la-Rouge off the list as it's the farthest away. (Long drive day, dinner in Sarlat)
Wednesday: Sarlat Market, then drive to Montignac for Lascaux II, St. Leon-zur-Vezere for a picnic, La Roque St. Christophe, if time the Musee National Prehistoire. We're x-ing Rouffignac as it's not logistically feasible to do.
Thursday: Pech Merle, 1030am English tour (reserved). Lunch in St. Cirq Lapopie. Head back to Sarlat and if time, tour Grotte du Cougnac (2-4pm). (Long drive day, dinner in Sarlat)
Friday: Chateau Castelnaud, Chateau Beynac, Chateau Milandes, (if possible but it likely will not be, the gardens at Marqueyssac). Dinner in this area.
On Saturday we will be driving to Amboise with planned stops at Oradour-sur-Glane and, if time, Chateau de Valencay.
I know it's still busy and we may not be able to do everything. But I feel this is better organized at least!
Thoughts? Thanks!

Excellent...You can do it!!!...As Tracy and I (well,mostly I) say, "You can relax when you're dead!" It's these kind of schedules that have Tracy wanting to kill me sometimes, but she is actually happy we did it once we get home and look at the photos and see what we've accomplished. Remember, no matter how busy the day, there is always a bottle of wine waiting for you at the end of the rainbow. Have a wonderful trip!!

"Thursday: Pech Merle, 1030am English tour (reserved). Lunch in St. Cirq Lapopie. Head back to Sarlat and if time, tour Grotte du Cougnac (2-4pm). (Long drive day, dinner in Sarlat)"
I'm confused -- isn't the Grotte de Cougnac between St. Cirq Lapopie and Sarlat? Or maybe that's what you meant -- to stop en route if time permits and if you can visit without a reservation?
Earlier, you said, "I know at least one night we'll dine on the road (Domme, Bayac, or other)"
If you are still planning on that, this day might be the one to do it, as you will be passing very close to Domme, where you have your choice of two great dining experiences: L'Esplanade or Cabanoix et Châtaigne.
No bad choices here, IMO -- just hard ones!

Your trip echoes fairly closely what we did last year. The days were busy, yes, but certainly not crazy busy. Most days we left Sarlat at around 9:30-10:00, and were back anywhere from 6-7 pm, so not outrageously long.
We share the philosophy that we can rest when we're dead. When I'm feeling a bit tired, I tell myself that "I didn't come all this way to sit in my room."
I haven't read up thread, so I don't know if it's been mentioned, but Chateau Biron was a huge favourite of ours, and the Musee Prehistoire a colossal waste of time and money. Just my opinion. Your Wednesday otherwise, was a favourite day. St Leon sur Vezere was a charming place to wander and picnic by the river. Likewise
It was a wonderful trip, full of beauty, and we couldn't help but fall in love with the area!
Report Abuse
I just read that your husband is slightly claustrophobic, as am I.
Peche Merle was no problem at all for me, but Lascaux certainly was. FYI, the last "room" was quite tight with a low ceiling, and we were urged to cram in close to each other. I could feel myself beginning to hyperventilate. I was standing close to the guide, and she had me stand on my own behind her, next to the exit door, in case I wanted to get out.
Really, my intention isn't to make you nervous, but to share my experience so your husband will have some idea of what might happen. Stick close to the guide, and maybe let her know before you begin.

"the Musee Prehistoire a colossal waste of time and money"
Not my experience. To each his / her own!

@maitaitom, thank you! We share your travel philosophy pretty exactly!
@kja, yes, I wasn't clear. We'll try to stop at the Grotte du Cougnac between St. Cirq LaPopie and Sarlat. Thanks for the restaurant suggestions. We are definitely going to Le Grand Blue--looks wonderful.
Thanks, sugarmaple. You're not the first to say the Musee Prehistoire is not worth it. I'm going to listen and spend our short time elsewhere. Thank you.

@sugarmaple, thanks for the heads up about Lascaux II. He read your comments and will head them. Much appreciated. Forewarned is forearmed.
@kja, reviews are mixed! I love museums (I'm kind of a weirdo that way) but with our short time, I think we'll spend it elsewhere.

Well, if skipping the (wonderful) Musee Prehistoire gives you time to visit one or more of the lovely gardens in the area, you could do worse!

I wish I could put my finger on just what about the Musee we found so disappointing.
Perhaps after a day touring Lascaux, St. Christophe, St Leon, we were too tired to put in the time and effort to make sense of the exhibits. Translation cards were scarce, and we found the layout and maps weren't intuitive. If it was our first stop of the day, and not the last, we would have had the energy and patience required. Maybe we were just getting anxious to get home to the Cahors wine

Quote:1. DON'T WAIT AROUND.
Don't try to sit out the market. That's what hundreds of other timid sellers are doing, each of them hoping -- somehow, some way -- that hanging on the sidelines will improve prices and, ultimately improve his or her chances for selling success. It won't. Not if you expect to sell anytime soon. If you want your place sold, the best way to make sure that happens is to put it up for sale.
Don't spend a lot of money -- absolutely no big-ticket renovations -- but do see that everything is in good repair. And give the place a new paint job and a general sprucing up. As you get closer to the date that the house actually goes up for sale, start moving out by decluttering the place. No buyer wants to see a house filled to the rafters with other people's things. They want to imagine their stuff filling the place. "Stage" the place with only enough furniture to make it look livable; put the rest in storage.
Set a realistic, salable price on day one. Don't let the house hang around on the market as you gradually lower the price. Forget what you think the house should be worth or what it was worth three years ago. That's not what it's worth today.
Get the best, most aggressive selling (listing) agent you can find.
When everything was selling before it even hit the market, of course, you didn't need the best. You just needed the cheapest. But not these days.
Fortunately, in this market, real-estate brokers are even more anxious than you. They're eager to get whatever work they can, so don't rely on your cousin with the real-estate license or your best friend's wife.
Ask, instead, for the local real-estate office's top salesperson. All offices have one or two sellers who greatly outperform their colleagues. That's who you want.
Interview various agents and insist that they present you with a well-conceived marketing plan that goes way beyond the usual Internet page, one or two open houses and a yard sign. (Think about using a professional photographer for multiple shots on the primary Web listing, your house as the featured "home of the week" in the local newspaper, a decorating segment on a morning chat show, a stop on the local garden club's spring tour.)
by DAVID CROOK at WSJ
Right now, the Minnesota MLS are shrinking. The worst mistake is to wait and time the market. If you have to sell, price it sell. We have been seeing a lot of market activity. No matter how slow the market is, there are always buyers who are buying. It takes a good experienced realtor to find those buyers and market your home smartly.

Domino's UK 'Mouth-Boggling' Campaign Based On Customer Reactions
Customers are seen being literally lost for words in new UK campaign by Domino's, which cleverly uses CGI to replace their mouths to speak in gibberish.
- Created by Iris Worldwide, Dominos latest integrated campaign (named "the mouth boggles") is based upon real life customer research that unearthed the emotions that customers feel towards the brand's pizza!
- The video demonstrates a hysterical collection of mumblings, grumblings and high pitched squeaks made by customers in various situations.
- The advertisement uses the voice of Peter Dickson, the announcer for ITV's X Factor to add to it's satirical tone.

The figures of losses.Pope's army numbered over 70,000; his loss was over 20,000 and thirty pieces of artillery. Lee's numbered about 50,000; his loss was 8,000. The loss in our brigade was small. Amongst the killed was Lieutenant Edward G. Rawlings, commanding F. Company. He was as good a soldier as the war produced, a magnificent specimen of manhood, tall and erect, over six feet in his stockings, weighing about two hundred pounds, with endurance in proportion to his size. I have often heard him say he could march forever if his feet would keep from getting sore. He was kind, gentle and always at his post and in the performance of his duty. To Jackson falls the chief honor of Second Manassas, as it did in the first battle, and the position held by the 2d Brigade was one of the points the enemy made their most desperate and repeated assaults, [88] in all of which they were repulsed with great loss. I saw more of their dead lying on the ground in our front than I ever saw in the same space during the war. One of my company wrote home that 'he was shot all to pieces,' had twenty-seven holes shot through his blanket. In his next letter he explained that his blanket was folded and one shot going through it, made the twenty-seven holes. It was the unanimous sentiment of the 2d Brigade that they were never handled as well before as they were by Col. Bradley T. Johnson, during this battle, and the balance of the time he was with us. His personal interest in the men went right to their hearts, and they showed their appreciation by obeying every order with cheerfulness and alacrity, and these circumstances made him a Brigadier-General. Here is an extract from a letter written to the Secretary of War by Lieutenant-General Jackson, in which he thus mentions Colonel Johnson and the 2d Brigade at Second Manassas: 'The heroism with which the brigade fought, and its success in battle, but brightened my opinion of its commander.'
John H. Worsham, F Company, 21st Virginia Regiment Infantry, 2d Brigade, Jackson's Division, 2d Corps, A. N. Va.

I know, I know…it's a little early to be talking about the Fall craft fairs, but I'm already getting excited about them. (They're kind of big deal here in the Midwest.)
Mom makes jewelry all year long and then drags me to the craft fairs with her to keep her company and watch the table when she needs to get up and walk around for a bit. (Dad almost always stops by at some point, if nothing else but to bring us lunch.)
It gives us an opportunity to hang out together, just the two of us. This year, I've decided to make some jewelry of my own to sell. Usually I just make things for me only. I'm excited to see how things go.
Here's the set I've made for this year. I know some people would not find working with tiny beads and wires relaxed but this is just one of the ways I can kind of 'unwind'. When I'm focused on making something I really can't think about anything else. I love putting together cool pieces, picking out beads that look just right together and then making something that's a little funky, and definitely "one-of-a-kind" . It's so much fun!!!
Keep any eye out for me this Fall if you're at a craft fair on the South-side of Indy, I'll probably be there. ♥
Happy crafting~Bam
