Nice clean flat in good area. Great for us.
I had a very pleasant stay in the apartment in July 2015. A fantastic view on the busy Paris life. Being on the fourth floor is a lot of climbing of course but you get used to it. Toilet and bathroom were small but good quality, The stove might need replacement on the ling run but it did work properly. So I will certainly come back to this apartment with a supermarket across the street and restaurants around the corner as well as the metro station within 100 meters.
This is a truly wonderful apartment!!
And I recommend it to everyone who is looking for one. :-)
It is clean, really clean!! Not just pretending to be clean. Clean floors, clean bathroom, and lovely clean bedsheets!!! It was pleasure to sleep there! You really do have two (!) double beds as in the photos! And they are both (!) amazingly comfortable (which for me means that the mattress is rather hard and a true pleasure to sleep on). You also have a spacious wardrobe and even a table to put your things on, write postcards... and a smaller armchair to sit in - all this in the bedroom. Then there is the small but cosy living room where you can eat. Here you have a couch with another great mattress! Bathroom is clean and in my opinion well thought through (maybe just something to hold the toilet paper would be a nice detail but it is nothing that bugs you if you know what I mean :-) ) - you get those really nice details like something to hold the soap and so on ... :-) You also get towels which are not only clean but also smell nice - it all feels really clean which is a great thing.
The kitchen is nice, function-able :-) - it needs some updating but Jérémy was very friendly and assured me that he would look into it so I believe that the next time you come it will all be great and you can cook without any trouble.
The apartment feels very safe thanks to all the codes on the main entrance door as well as the iron gate :-) and it is very very quiet (unless the neighbors go crazy ;-) which can happen anywhere as we all know, and then you sure can´t blame Jérémy;-) )
There is even some vegetation in the courtyard to be seen from all of the windows. Nice.
We enjoyed our stay in Paris immensely also thanks to Jérémy´s apartment!! We felt there "at home".
So, in case you are still looking and deciding... in my opinion - you just found it! :-)
If I had to chose just one word to describe it, it would be "generous".
I am not going to write here much about how close it is to pretty much anywhere (exception of course Sacré Coeur and the Eiffel Tower) because you can see that on the map :-).
There is some really nice - meaning very tasty food ;-), friendly service, reasonable prices - restaurant just two doors away, on the corner. And many other great shops, bakeries....
I come to Paris more often and from now on, I am for sure going to stay in this place.
Thank You Jérémy! It was wonderful!
Excellent apartment, comfortable for one or two people, well equipped and well located. No problem, just the opposite.
Highly recommended
Excelente departamento, cómodo para una o dos personas, bien equipado y muy bien ubicado. Ningún problema, todo lo contrario.
Muy recomendable
We got to Paris, the Anissa senorita with another lady were waiting at the entrance of the building and were greeted very warmly and kindly. We were told and showed us all the features department. It is very nice, very complete, very comfortable and very clean. Both the building as well as the neighborhood is very quiet and safe sites. The service of towels, bath towels, sheets and quilts, impeccable. Whenever we had a question, we communicated with Miss Anissa us and she always answered promptly. It is easy access to the metro, other public transport, supermarkets, restaurants, etc .... Thanks for the good service provided is one of the great days we spent in Paris. Hug
Llegamos a Paris, la senorita Anissa junto con otra señora nos estaban esperando en la entrada del edificio y nos recibieron muy cordialmente y amablemente. Nos comentaron y nos mostraron todas las características del departamento. El mismo es muy bonito, muy completo, muy cómodo y muy limpio. Tanto el edificio como así también el barrio son sitios muy tranquilos y seguros. El servicio de toallas, toallones, sabanas y acolchados, impecables. Cada vez que teníamos una duda, nos comunicábamos con la señorita Anissa y ella siempre nos respondía a la brevedad. Es de fácil acceso al metro, a otros transportes públicos, a supermercados, a restaurantes, etc.... Gracias porque el buen servicio brindado forma parte de los excelentes días que pasamos en Paris. Abrazo
All right, even the passage chiavi.Solo two things, the couch in the living room it was impossible to use it to sleep for an adult and the furniture of the terrace should be changed to be able to enjoy better.
Tutto bene, anche il passaggio chiavi.Solo due cose, il divano in soggiorno era impossibile usarlo per dormire per un adulto e i mobili del terrazzo dovrebbero essere cambiati per poterne usufruire meglio.
It was excellent, nine days in Paris in this cozy apartment.
Domenico owner, has decorated with perfect taste, from the first moment we met and in our house.
Jeremy and Anissa, responsible for leasing and the whole deal with the tenant, gave us all the help and all the necessary explanations.
The setting, perfect, a neighborhood with all kinds of shops (see nearby streets), the subway stop three minutes from home and with three lines allowed us to move around Paris very quickly.
But above all, this apartment offers comfort, a good bed to rest after a hard days exploring the city, a pristine cleanliness, a fully equipped kitchen, a living room with everything you need (tv, fiber, satellite, DVD DVD / music) etc.
Thanks, Domenico, Jeremi and as Anissa thank you very much.
Fue inmejorable, nueve días en Paris en este acogedor apartamento.
Su propietario Domenico, lo tiene decorado con un gusto perfecto, desde el primer momento nos encontramos como en nuestra casa.
Jeremy y Anissa, responsables del arrendamiento y todo el trato con el inquilino, nos brindaron toda su ayuda y todas las explicaciones necesarias.
El entorno, perfecto, un barrio con todo tipo de comercios (mirar calles próximas), la parada del metro a tres minutos de casa y con tres líneas nos permitía movernos por Paris con mucha rapidez.
Pero por encima de todo, la comodidad que brinda este apartamento, una buena cama para descansar después de unas duras jornadas descubriendo la ciudad, una limpieza impoluta, una cocina perfectamente equipada, un salón con todo lo necesario (tv, fibra, satélite, reproductor de DVD/música) etc.
Gracias, Domenico, Jeremi y como no muchas gracias Anissa.
We enjoyed a lot in Paris and one of the reasons was the flat. It was very clean, comfortable. Neighborhood is lovely, and very close to the majority of places to visit. Metro is in front of the door and many cafes, stores, etc...
We will talk about your flat to friends who want to visit Paris.
Thanks for all.
It's a wonderful apartment, very clean and in a quite area. The space is absolutely sufficient for 3 people. The apartment is located very close to the city centre and with direct access to the metro.
The organisation went perfectly and we had a great time in Paris! Many thanks to Jérémy and Anissa.
Great location. Good restaurants, bars and grocery store nearby. Metro less than a block away. Apartment is clean and comfortable and allows you to live as a local for a few days.

Hello everybody!!!!!!! what do you think about this film?What's your favourite character?
me me!!! don't download.get a good DVD copy! O genki desu ka?
The best final fantasy 7 movie is Advent Children. My favorite ff7 characters are vincent valentine/chaos and Sephiroth.
I like him too, but kadaj is cooler. I love the advent children movie. I wish the crises core movie came to the U.S. :(
I agree kadaj is the coolest but i also like zack very much. ''Destiny is in your hands so don't give up and fight for it''
Somehow these measures of chaos and confusion have a way of bringing us all to one common conclusion..... a little slow but good...The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
FF VII? Still my favorite RPG of all time. I hope that we get to see a remake happen one day. I agree, Kadaj is a very cool character. I also like Zack & Sephiroth. Cloud was ok. Tifa & Vincent are cool too.
i love that movie it's my top favorite movie CLOUD! YEAH i like everyone in it but cloud is my fav he's sweet im working on getting his full costume
My fav character is Yuffie, but you don't see much of her in Advent Children. I like Kadaj becouse he's a baby Sepheroth in a weird way. Rude and Renno are pretty cool, but I don't like that they still searve Ruffus Shinra! The night is undyingThe stars ablazeWhat will become of youWhen they are all but dust
My fav FF7 charcter is definately Vincent Valantine/Chaos, though I have to admit Rosso the Crimson and Nero the Sable were pretty cool too. In life theres no such thing as black and white its all grey.
Vincent is awsum and the movie was awsum espically the part when cloud was on his bike and kadaj blew the bike into the air and he went spinning in the air and they clashed swords on his way down flippin sweet
Ya that was cool but i like that scene when that dragon blow out that huge blue lightening ball and cloud jumped right in to it, and what happened next ''Destiny is in your hands so don't give up and fight for it''
Sorry if i made mistakes''Destiny is in your hands so don't give up and fight for it''
The final battle between cload and sephiroth was just badass lol "Don't doubt the darkness, it can be your enemy as well as your friend."
Mine favorite FF character is Cloud, the first FF game i played was FF7 and it pretty much is based around Cloud.
The film was great, my fav. char. has to be Tifa, watch out or she wil knock you out, lol
This flick is amazing animated action packed flick...
yet i would like to....<~Did you know that Your Dreams are Just Lost Pieces of Reality.~> http://www.playlist.com/LadyMeyesi
i kinda havent seen it yet but clouds still my favorite

I wish they make more FF movies... But, FF 7 Complete is way cooler. I like how Sepr and Cloud fought in full battle. :)
and i liked the fights in the movie and it had really funny parts in it =)

OUYA, a Kickstarter-Backed Android Game Console, Just Raised $15 Million
OUYA, the company that makes a $99 Android-powered videogame console financed through crowd-funding site Kickstarter, just announced that it has raised $15 million.
This cash infusion, however, didn't come from Kickstarter. Instead, it came in the form of a venture-capital funding round led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Gaming vet Bing Gordon will be joining the company's board as part of the round.
OUYA raised more than $8.5 million from a Kickstarter campaign and has been taking preorders for the consoles on its website. In all, there are more than 68,000 consoles on order, CEO Julie Uhrman said in an earlier interview.
Some question whether the console will be successful. Nintendo released a sobering outlook earlier this year, slashing its sales outlook in the wake of disappointing holiday demand for the Wii U.
Still, it appears there's demand for the device — on both the venture-capital and consumer end. The console has more than 12,000 developers registered to build games for it and will go on sale in retail outlets like Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop and others next month.
"Anyone can launch an Android box, but not many have the chops to build a developer ecosystem around it, ranging from indie to known publishers and brand," Mayfield Fund managing director Tim Chang said in an interview. "That's the real special sauce, it's the software platform side, not the fact that you can quickly launch a box."
We caught up with Uhrman to find out more about the investment. Here's an edited transcript of the conversation:
WSJ: Can you give me an update on the progress of OUYA?
Julie Uhrman: We started shipping our early consoles in March — we started with Kickstarter backers. We'll have all those early backer units shipped in May leading up to the June launch. Then we go live in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. with Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop and Target. We'll look to continue to roll out other regions and countries. That's what the $15 million funding is for, it allows us to be here for the long haul, to meet demand from retailers and from gamers all around the world. We have over 12,000 developers that have signed up to publish a game on OUYA. We're shipping early backers to over 110 countries, have 120 games today, more games coming in every week. Developers are working hard.
WSJ: How are the talks coming along with developers of traditional triple-A titles?
JU: Talks are going great, we're going to announce games from two different triple-A shops in the next couple weeks. I can't say just yet who or what they are.
WSJ: Then why do you need the money?
JU: The money's going to be used predominantly for two things: one is to support game development. We'd love to bring exclusive titles to OUYA. We announced an exclusive game from Airtight Games last week, we have others coming from Tripwire Interactive and high-profile games from high-profile independent games like Fez from Phil Fish. Tim Schafer's DoubleFine is bringing "A Broken Age," so it'll allow us to do more of those things.
When we received the venture funding, I looked at other Kickstarted companies. From my knowledge, we might be one of the first that really started off as a crowd-sourced company and landed some significant venture capital. Gamers, retailers, the technology firms want us to be here for the long haul.
WSJ: How are you funding those developers?
JU: Each developer is different and the relationships are different. Some need help finishing the game, some want to do things that take additional time and resources, those are all conversations we'll have. This allows us to help more and to bring great content to OUYA early.
WSJ: So what's part two?
JU: The second is to support demand. We've seen incredible demand from retail and from the website. Obviously it depends on the retailer. It's gonna be no different than what any other product.
WSJ: Any word on how many units retailers are asking for?
JU: I think we're pleasantly surprised, we haven't done any marketing for OUYA yet, we've been thrilled by the interest we've seen from online partners. All the partners have been performing really well, the pre-order volume is so high we ended up pushing our launch date a couple weeks to make sure we'd have enough units on shelves.
WSJ: What will Bing Gordon's role be?
JU: Kleiner Perkins was the lead, we had additional investment from The Mayfield Fund, Nvidia and others. Bing's joining the board — comprised of myself and Roy Bahat. Bing already has been incredibly hands-on, he has a wealth of experience in the gaming industry. What I love is, he really respects game creators, which is a huge focus for OUYA. As an officer of EA for ten years he did some unique and creative things.
WSJ: And the partnership with NVidia?
JU: It's great support, they have been phenomenal partners and they continue to be.
WSJ: What's your current take on the hardware startup ecosystem?
JU: I think I might have said hardware was getting soft. There are more tools to help us realize our dreams, whether it's 3D printing or a CNC machine.
Hardware, in general, is hard. It takes a lot of time, a lot of work, a lot of things you can't force-feed. You have to be really quick and reactive, and what keeps me incredibly optimistic is we have built an incredible team. If you have the right folks together, really anything is possible. We launched OUYA from a dream to a physical product in 9 months and we've hit every deadline. We're disrupting the last closed digital system there is — the console connected to your television — and now I feel like we're disrupting how companies are getting funded by taking crowdsourced funds first and then venture capital funding.
WSJ: What's your take on the otherwise soft reviews of the first units?
JU: OUYA's doing this different and we've done this differently all along. We are building the product in the public eye. We started with Kickstarter, and we showed early mock-ups and designs. We made additional changes with feedback we got from thousands of developers, and now we have this preview period where users actually see the console. No one does this, no company puts it out when it isn't 100% done. But it's much better with tens of thousands of beta testers showing us how to do it.
The benefit of those articles and reviews was to tell us we still had work to do. Every piece of feedback we read was already on our to-do list. All the hardware recommendations have gone into production. Like any software platform, it'll never be finished. But it's a three-month preview period where we can find out how to make this product perfect for you. We just wanna learn how to make it better.
WSJ: Are you guys prepping the next version of OUYA soon?
JU: We definitely want to have a hardware refresh closer to that of mobile, compared to traditional consoles. We want to take advantage of falling prices of components, and the most powerful chips. Big picture, that's our plan. We are still incredibly focused on launch and haven't been able to take our eye off the ball yet.

Do dogs belong at car shows?
July 20, 2013
Editor: I have a request for the people who bring their dogs to public events such as the car show or other events in Elkins City Park or anywhere else for that matter....
Another problem is enforcement. Elkins loves to create laws it cannot enforce such as "clean up after your dog". In the future, your dog's DNA will be identified by the poo and the gov will come and throw it back on your lawn. Ok, maybe not, but it would be great if that could happen. I personally enjoy the parade of dogs at the car show as they are usually well-behaved, it's the owners who usually lack consideration for others.

1548: Forest report
This paper is summarised from the executive summary of the Independent Panel on Forestry Final report
Year of Publication2012
Woodland cover should expand from 10% to 15% of England by 2060. The area managed to the UK Forestry Standard should increase from around 50% to 80% of the total, over about the next ten years. There needs to be investment in woodfuel, saw mills, furniture and creative industries. Forest Services should drive a change in woodland culture, provide information and expert advice to England's woodland owners, regulate them, deliver Government policy and inspire people and organisations to use wood as a product. The public forest estate in England should be managed by a new public organisation evolved from Forest Enterprise England.

To GBL: Until a complete investigation is done by someone who is an expert on Track Circuits, it is wrong to draw any conclusions from what anyone saw AFTER the crash. This crossing is on a U.S. highway and should have gates. Since there were no reported skid marks on the pavement, the truck driver either didn't see the flashing lights for some reason OR they were not flashing as he approached the crossing. The crash could be the railroads fault or the truck driver's fault. I haven't seen a word about whether the trains horn was blown according to the law. There must be a 20 second warning and the Engineer must start blowing the horn at the "W" sign--whistle post. BTW, what if the lights only started flashing when the truck was a few seconds from the crossing?

Every railroad crossing that has flashing lights or lights/gates has a Track Circuit to detect the train and turn on the devices. In some cases, the Track Circuit failed to detect the train, but got "shunted" when there was a crash-derailment. So, bottom-line, just because the lights were flashing AFTER the crash, does not mean they were working BEFORE the crash. Railroad Signal Maintainers are well aware of this.

gblatham I agree, those people are supporting their families that work on that train, but no that train means nothing to me nor do I have respect to whomever posted what they did on the facebook page of the train. I'm not saying this was not a horrible accident because YES it was and my heart goes out to the passengers as i've kept them all in my thoughts and prayers. I just believe some things that's been posted is completely uncalled for and they aren't thinking of Danny's family nor feelings they may be going through. Please don't take anything i've posted to heart because it's just the way I feel, everybody has an opinion.

The Associated Press has disseminated quite a bit of information over the past few days, including this:
"The railroad crossing signals were flashing at the scene. As all emergency personnel arrived, we observed the signals flashing at the time." [Sheriff Brady, quoted at a hospital news conference.]
"At this juncture of the investigation, it appears that the log truck had run through the crossing signals and struck the passenger cars of the train." [Brady, from a recorded statement sent to A.P. by Davis Memorial Hospital's Tracy Fath.]
...and this:
"Volunteer fire chief Buster Varner..****ment[ed]...that it appeared the truck ran through crossing signals."
I have yet to personally review any official documents.

Garl Boyd Latham ...Randolph County Sheriff Mark Brady has confirmed the grade crossing's automatic warning devices were operating - even after the fact....The sheriff have a little physic RR crossing reader in his pocket he found behind the cracker jack factory in the reject pile taht shows signal activity a 1/2 hour before he arrived?
Pretty obvious the truck took the signal out on one side and the overturned train pancaked the other. Probably what the state guy meant when he said "THE signals were destroyed" in the radio interview.

So, if tourism dollars (or profits from any other local businesses) don't go directly into your pocket, they fail to provide you - and your communities - with any benefit(s), whatsoever?
Are we to presume people working for the D&GV aren't attempting to support themselves and their families, too?
And how about all those aboard the passenger train? Is it not "heartless" to so cavalierly discount the serious nature of their situation? Would it have made any difference to you if one (or more) of them had also died?
Finally, precisely what sort of additional "warnings" might you suggest for installation that the Federal Railroad Administration has not previously considered?
Mourning your friend's death is perfectly understandable. Casting aspersions upon others is not.

The truck driver wouldn't have been required to lay the truck down, much less sacrifice his own life, had he been operating his rig in a safe and prudent manner.
Like it or not, trains possess the absolute right-of-way (due both to the laws of the land and the laws of physics).
In addition, Randolph County Sheriff Mark Brady has confirmed the grade crossing's automatic warning devices were operating - even after the fact.
There are many "pathetic" things about this event, but the presence of the railroad or its train full of innocent passengers is not among them.

Horsewagled, I am with you and I agree 100%! And I am sorry Mr.John Smith but you are WRONG.To be truthly honest with you your train does me NO good,honestly I think the only ones that it does do good is the few in the community that works on your train! Because how else would it bring the rest of us any good? The money you collect from these tourist doesn't go in our pocket! It's just like Danny he was WORKING to support his family. After the post that was made on facebook by your company I've lost all respect that I will or EVER had for any of you! How about you tell the newspaper what was posted online? Exactly because that just might make you look bad for being so heartless!How about you show a little sympathy towards a family that is grieving instead of only worrying about your train. I do thank you for the post being removed and reworded but that doesn't change the fact that so many people had already read it.Put up better warnings for your train and this might not happen again!

Hello world: | Opensource.com
Hello world:
Welcome to the business channel on opensource.com. In this channel we plan to explore how the principles of open source are influencing the world of business.
I have been working at open source software companies for the past 10 years and have experienced first hand how the open source model creates better software faster. I hadn't spent as much time thinking about open source beyond software.
This all changed for me last year.
I had the privilege of hearing Gary Hamel speak on the future of management. Gary told the audience that if they wanted to see a model of the business leader of the future they should study Linus Torvalds.
From Gary's book The Future of Management
"Torvalds understands that in a community of peers, people bow to competence, commitment, and foresight, rather than to power. The fact that Torvalds has retained his position at the center of the Linux galaxy for more than a decade, without any formal mandate, makes him a worthy role model for aspiring 21st-century leaders."
Wow. I was very familiar with Linus and his work on the Linux kernel. I had not thought of Linus as the model for 21st-century leaders.
This is one of many examples of how the basic principles of open source (open exchange, participation, rapid prototyping, meritocracy, community) are influencing the world of business. This channel will be a place where we continue to learn from each other how open source is effecting the business world.
Jump in and join the conversation. Create an account to make it easier to comment on articles and participate in polls. If you have ideas on what should be discussed in this channel, add them in the comments.

Many years ago, HBR's Editor Nicholas Carr suggested (guess you know this famous and so controversial article "IT Doesn't Matter") that IT management should focus on reducing risks, not increasing opportunities and that IT may not help gain a strategic advantage, but it could easily put at a cost disadvantage.
Was it a pre Open Source annoucement? Not sure. Here is what it gave me : You should pay (money) for a competitive advantage (even if it comes from software) and you should pay attention for commodity software (incl. ERP).
Business Software (I've been working for this German Software giant for many years - then I know some words about what a business software is -) needs to adress one or both - competitive advantage / risk free.
As a human being I do not want to pay for breezing but I'm okay for medecine or advertising even for water (if it ensures me potable water).
Let's take an example (form the real life. sure it is : it's mine!)
My 13years old daughter runs an unbuntu powered laptop (powered after I burnt 3 DVDs to get one ok) with everything free you need included - Wouahou - Have you ever tried to use your iPod Touch with - everything free you need ? I did. (I'll post this "iPod Touch needs a Korn shell guru" story later - if requested).
You're right, Apple is far from being an Open Software Fundation but as MS Office (vade retro satanas !) is quite more practical vs Open Office (yes it is!) Iphone is .... what is better looking - using ? Android Nexus One (what a name!)? (no it is not - and Google ?).
A couple of days ago, I read a french (yes I'm french -so what?) sponsored (sic!) book presenting an Open Source ERPs study. Out of it, the main argument against this german software Kompany is : R/3 is not open.
What does it mean bud? I know my iPod is not open, but I love it!
Let's be open (minded), let's share perspective. Forget the "me too" approach, even if it is "me to for free" or "me too better" . Changing is not replacing - we need more - Let's concentrate on more.
I've been noticing it more and more fitting into a management or organizational concept.
Right now I am involved in a Computer Club of 200 +/- members and just joined the Board of Directors. I see a lot of opportunity to push the organization of the club to a more open-source inspired model;
* Open exchange of ideas
* Collaboration
* Community
Some of this, though, is counter to the usual political-maneuvering most organizations become paralyzed on.
I am hoping, though, to get a better feel and understanding of the open source philosophy in an organizational strucutre which is one reason why I jumped when I saw this website.
I'm sorry for the Off Topic but the first link (to Gary Hamel page) is broken.
The title="" attribute of the image seems to be incorrect.
Hi Francesco,
The link seems to be broke, but maybe it is bad linked.
The right link is: http://www.garyhamel.com/
Kind Regards,
August 1981: IBM introduces the PC.
The mid-80's: Lots of PC's being sold and most purchasers also buy WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3 and Ashton Tate dBaseIII. These three companies rode the tidal wave of the PC (before 2 of them stumbled and the third was bought by IBM).
2010: Total revenues of open source software companies total less than $1 billion, in a software industry with total sales of over $300 billion. There must be a tidal wave coming - imagine only 5-10% of software spending shifting to open source!
But wait... the biggest open source projects advance thanks to the efforts of developers salaried by large companies, not by talented volunteers hoping for peer recognition. And, too many companies use the community versions of open source projects, contributing nothing back - not a bug report, not a blog comment, no contributed code, and certainly no money.
Will open source turn into a megatrend?
Can we get the freeriders to contribute something (especially money)?

The Daily Caller, a website headed up by the infamous twit Tucker Carlson, offered THIS OBSERVATION the other day about a new pet at the White House:
With the addition of Sunny, the Obamas now have two black Portuguese water dogs.
The Obamas do not have any white dogs.
The implication, I guess, is that the Obamas are anti-white or something.
George W. Bush also had two black dogs (above). I suppose he was anti-white as well....

A spokeswoman for the royal couple had no comment.
While her name has not been reported, the new staff member was hired as a successor to Jessie Webb, who was Kate and William's initial helper around the nursery.
And her timing is perfect. She assumes the job before the family's three-week tour of New Zealand and Australia in April, by which time she and George should be well accustomed to each another.
Since arriving in the U.K. from Spain a couple of decades ago, "She has worked for other high-profile families," a friend told Hello! magazine. "And it was from there that the Cambridges heard of her and hired her."
The friend added, "She is not married and doesn't have a boyfriend, as her life is totally dedicated to the family she is working with. She is known for being totally professional – married to the job."
But the new nanny is not looking after George this week. He is with his grandparents, Carole and Michael Middleton, while William and Kate enjoy a sunny break in the Maldives.

The 5 Most Absurdly Expensive Items in Online Gaming
#2. The Nest Egg (Entropia Universe)
Most MMORPGs ban the sale of in-game currency, leading to a shady market in illegal cash. MindArk realized that just means other people get the money and fixed the hell out of that. Project Entropia Dollars (PED) can be exchanged for real actual dollars at a rate of 10:1, and prove that English has serious problems with what it capitalizes.
"You're saying we invented a fake country with real money and WON'T be arrested?"
This real economy has led to some of the most spectacular purchases in gaming history, including the Crystal Palace space station by one player for a third of a million real dollars, and the Asteroid Space Resort in multiple portions for twice as much. Those aren't on this list, because they were sensible investments: Crystal Palace has already paid for itself, and both are constant sources of taxation income. Unlike the Atrox Queen Egg, a virtual paperweight in a world without paper that cost 70 grand.
I think I've seen this movie.
The egg resulted from an in-game storyline to hunt powerful Atrox, which are crosses between T. rexes and "coming up with stupider but barely different names to make them sound alien."
See, it has TWICE as many stupid little arms. Totally different animal.
It was first found by a player called Tzest0s, who sold it for $10,000 in 2006 and probably hasn't stopped fist-pumping yet. The alien monster egg was bought by wealthy entrepreneur John "NEVERDIE" Jacobs and proudly displayed in his space station nightclub. That's not even the plot of a horror movie, that's a horror movie parody. He nevertheless survived both doing that and being called that, selling the egg to David "Zacharum 'Deathifier' Emegen" Storey in 2010 for a profit of $60,000. He used the money to film a real music video in a roller disco. If you're noticing wire frame graphics in your peripheral vision, don't worry, that's just the borders between reality and fantasy breaking down.
"For an encore, I shall say 'There's nothing to worry about' and hold my face right over it."
New species are a major source of wealth in Entropia. The only problem is, this egg has a smaller chance of hatching into new life than a dead male robot. After eight years, that "in waiting ..." is more clearly flavor text than The Joy of Cooking. Spending six figures on it is demented, but unlike everything else on this list, it's brilliantly, gloriously demented. You might think it would be impossible for anyone to spend so much on trash for fun, as the necessary combination of reality disconnect, obscene wealth and lunacy died with Kim Jong-Il. But Deathifier isn't a lunatic blowing his life savings on trash. He's another of the Entropian elite, master of an actual Treasure Island, as in that's actually its name and its reality (it earns him $100,000 a year). It has a castle. It's a rare hunting preserve for unique species he created specifically for that purpose. And now he's using the egg as bait to organize an in-game treasure hunt and targeted extermination missions, awarding cash prizes to other players, just for fun.
He invented Chromangutangs just to kill them.
Instead of the tragedy of waste, it's Dr. Moreau-Taft standing on his castle battlements funding a space-club music producer's attempts to escape into our reality. Hell, real human nobles never dreamed of being that decadent because they didn't have William Gibson novels.
#1. Getting a Life (World of Warcraft)
Many people mock Word of Warcraft, because many people don't have an income of $100 million a month with two loyal legions the size of Norway fighting each other for profit. Never mind businesses, most regimes can't claim that.
Man, I wish I had some night elves around here.
Player "Shaks" spent $9,000 on a Level 70 night elf rogue, back when that was as high as levels went, equipped with all sorts of amazing items that you either don't care about or already know.
World of Warcraft
Check out the warglaives on that!
The problem is that character sales are very banned in World of Warcraft, and a sale of this size was very guaranteed to bring press attention. "Covered by the BBC" levels of press, which is as pressed as you can get without being thrown into a printing machine by James Bond. Shaks had just committed the most visible electronic crime short of stealing someone's shades in the Matrix. He'd have more chance of getting away with standing on the White House lawn firing signal flares at the Oval Office, because the Secret Service don't actually control reality through programmed money.
Wikimedia Commons
That's right, we don't, citizen.
Shaks disappeared like he owed money to the Mafia and Men in Black simultaneously. Reports indicate his very brief existence had him using the character like a chimpanzee steering the starship Enterprise. He'd have demonstrated more skill if he'd webcammed himself burning $100 bills, and lasted longer. It's painful even to think about, because nine grand is way more than you need to buy a real life.
It's glorious that we've reached the level of wealth and technology to spend money on such pointless bullshit, but tragic that we actually do so. If you'd rather level up real people using real skills for real achievements, help Kiva fund microloans (there's a Cracked group). In memory of Matt, the greatest entrepreneur I've ever known.

Gunshots downtown cause damage
No injuries reported; callers say bullets came from moving vehicle

SALEM — City police are asking for the public's help regarding shots fired in downtown Salem early Saturday, damaging the windows of a handful of storefronts and a Jeep, but causing no injuries....
Gotta love it, a little more like Youngstown everyday! Of course if any of you have gone to Cahills TAC facebook page you would think Salem is the most beautiful and safest downtown ever! Someone in this city needs a reality check if they really want to clean it up.

They were both taken to the Columbiana County jail pending arraignment in county Municipal Court.
Salem Police received a call at 1:37 a.m. Sunday for shots being fired in the area of Foxes Den at 188 Railroad St., being advised that an occupant in a silver van/SUV fired a gun off.

Veteran Betty Inskeep of Hubbard said the decision to lift the ban on women serving in ground combat has been a long time coming.
"A woman has just as much right to fight and die for her country as a man does, and if they choose to go into that line of work and can handle it, more power to them," said the ex-Marine who was present during an attack in 1979 on the U.S. Embassy in Karachi, Pakistan.

Trumbull Career and Technical Center ROTC Briana Radcliffe, 17, senior, Jacob Rowe, 18, and Samantha Zigler, 17, stand at attention Monday during Career Day at the school. All said lifting the ban on women serving in ground combat was the right decision.
Tribune Chronicle / Bonnie Hazen
The Pentagon's longstanding prohibition against women serving in ground combat ended Thursday when Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced that most combat roles now will be available to female soldiers and Marines.
The decision to upend the rule that has been in place since 1994 came on the recommendation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, whose chairman, Gen. Martin Dempsey, joined Panetta in signing an order that will open hundreds of thousands of front-line jobs to female service members.
"We've already had women who 'work in classified combat jobs' and have already been killed and injured over there. They're already out there doing it, they're just not classified combat," Inskeep said.

Women soldiers who drive military vehicles can run into improvised explosive devices - roadside bombs - which is just as lethal as being in ground combat, she said.
Approximately 14 percent of those actively serving in the U.S. military are women, a total of nearly 1.47 million, according to information from the Department of Defense and the U.S. Coast Guard reported as of late 2011.
"I'm a combat veteran, so this is something that touches home," said Herman K. Breuer, former Army sergeant and deputy director for the Trumbull County Veterans Service Commission.
"I was in a military unit that was field artillery ... it was all men. You didn't have the distractions of anything socially that you would perceive that might be a problem," he said, explaining that the social dynamic will be the biggest challenge with women and men serving together in ground combat.
"I think that they would be physically and mentally capable, but I think that you can't say that there would be no social impact.
''In other words, you have a man and woman fighting in a fox hole or in a combat vehicle ... the relationship that develops between that man and woman could impact how they complete their mission,'' Breuer said.
"When you're in combat, you have to maintain a level of focus that you don't normally have to maintain throughout the rest of society. If they do have some sort of social relationship, whatever that structure is, that can cause some problem or issue on the front lines, and that's the only thing that I would be fearful of," he said.
Still, Breuer said he doesn't object to the ban being lifted, as long as everyone who is placed in combat is held to the same standards and is capable of doing the same things physically.
Samantha Zigler, 17, a junior enrolled in Trumbull Career and Technical Center's ROTC program, said the lift of the ban gives women more opportunities to prove they are equal to men.
"If a woman is physically fit enough to carry a male off the battlefield, she should be able to," she said.
She said she doesn't foresee any social problems with men and women fighting together "because in the military, you're trained to keep your personal and your work life separate."
TCTC ROTC senior aerospace science instructor Lt. Col. John Miller said Panetta's announcement did not come as a surprise.
"The more good people you can have in a given job, the stronger the service is, and the better for the nation," he said. "I think it will give our program graduates more opportunities. We have had female graduates who were interested in the ground combat ... they feel they should be able to do any job that they are qualified to do."
Miller said he doesn't foresee any changes to teaching methods as a result of the ban being lifted.
TCTC ROTC junior Briana Radcliffe, 17, said she doesn't know whether she will decide to serve in ground combat, but she's glad she has the opportunity.
"Some people believe that fighting is for guys. But for action in combat, I think women can stand up to the same standards as men," she said.
TCTC ROTC senior Jacob Rowe, 18, said, "As long as they meet the standards of the military - the discipline standards, physical standards and leadership standards - then they shouldn't be refrained from the position if they're qualified."
Each military branch will devise its own plan as well as be allowed to seek exceptions if officials believe certain positions should remain closed to women.
"This is the right decision," said Congressman Timothy J. Ryan. "For many years, (women) have been serving and in many cases dying for their country. They have proven that women can do the job - and now have more opportunities than ever before."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

RSSB's main centre is Dera Baba Jaimal Singh, named after its founder who settled there in the late 1800's. Located in Punjab, India, the 'Dera' is a self-contained community with both administrative and residential facilities. Although the centres throughout the world are affiliated with RSSB India, each country's administration is autonomous with a Board of Management that operates under a standard constitution modified to comply with local laws and conditions. Administration is handled entirely by volunteers, and operations are funded through unsolicited donations. The organization does not engage in any fundraising activities.
RSSB centres are located throughout India, and internationally RSSB affiliated organizations hold meetings in more than 90 countries. Meetings are held in rented halls, community centres or RSSB-owned properties. The purpose of these gatherings is to explain the RSSB philosophy. The meetings are non-denominational and open to the public. No fees are charged and there is no advertising or proselytizing.
RSSB has a publishing department that has produced more than 70 original titles on spirituality. Volunteers have translated a large selection of these books into 35 languages. A recently constructed 20,000 square-metre library at the main centre in India will eventually house a collection of nearly 500,000 volumes concentrating on world religions, mysticism, philosophy and related subjects. The library will be open to scholars and researchers of all faiths.
As a responsible member of the community, RSSB has conducted blood donation drives and has participated in relief efforts providing assistance for earthquake and tsunami victims. In addition, RSSB's sister organization, Maharaj Jagat Singh Medical Relief Society, operates three rural charitable hospitals: in Beas, Punjab; Sikanderpur, Haryana; and in Bhota, Himachal Pradesh. All three hospitals function as primary care facilities with fully functioning medical departments such as: Ophthalmology, Orthopaedics, Gynaecology & Obstetrics, ENT, Surgery & Anaesthesia, Paediatrics, Radiology, and Dental.
All medical services, including medicine and in-patient care are provided free of charge. The Beas Hospital is the largest hospital with 260 beds and treats on average 1,200 patients each day through its Out Patient Department. The Sikanderpur Hospital has 50 beds, the Bhota Hospital has 75 beds, and each treats about 450 patients each day through their Out Patient Departments. The large number of OPD patients is a reflection of the limited number of medical facilities in these rural farming communities. It also speaks to the generally poor economic conditions of this population that is not in the position to pay for expensive medical treatment. No distinction is made as to the background of the patients, either in regard to their economic status, social standing, or religious affiliation.

The score for components often doesnt reflect the true skill, but the time the athlete has spent in the figure skating world, he said.
The score for components often doesnt reflect the true skill, but the time the athlete has spent in the figure skating world, he said.
Unfortunately ,Rep still counts , though maybe not as much as it used to , and I thought Suzuki was royally robbed at NHK.
Well, part of what he's saying may be true, but (a) your skills actually do improve when you have been skating longer and (b) you become more adept at skating in a way that earns more points. So I think it does reflect skill; if you ignored the jumps at NHK Mao is the class of the field. But reputation is factored in as well IMO.
deleted post, sorry

Love the Russians, they are so honest!!
Worried about the Russians, they are too honest!!
The picture looks so much like a father and son portrait!
Mr. Mishin's first point, tat Mao Asada won NHK because of home country advantage, ignores the fact that the skater she beat was also Japanese.
Oh geez.
Mao had three triple jumps in total, two of which were in combination, not two, as Mr. Minshin claims. Maybe he should learn to count.
Anyway, it's like shooting yourself in the feet (=Plushenko) for Mr. Mishin to be saying this.
And Mao's skating skills, after two years of careful coaching by Mr. Sato, are now better than they have ever been before in her career, and they were already good when she went to him.
Or could it be that Mr. Mishin lacks the expertise to be able to see this?

Lol. My thoughts are pretty much what others have pointed out: there may well be some truth to the notion that the components score doesn't accurately reflect skill and that reputation counts (not necessarily time spent on the scene, but time spent winning medals). But...pretty ironic that someone in Plushy's camp is complaining about this.

A Letter to the Editor in the Nov. 13, 2007, Tomahawk Leader:
Dear Editor,
We appreciate your coverage of one of the more important public health policies in the new state budget – reducing tobacco use and a $1 increase in the price of cigarettes.
The reaction to the increase in the cigarette tax, however, suggests that many readers miss the point of why the increase is important. Or they haven't heard the facts.
The tax isn't about the money it brings in. It's about the lives and the money it saves.
Gov. Jim Doyle put it best. He said he hopes we don't collect any money from the cigarette tax in the future because no one will smoke. That's unrealistic, of course. But he's on point. The evidence from other states with similar increases is clear: The tax increase will result in about 100,000 fewer smokers, two-thirds of them today's children who won't ever get started smoking.
Critics skew the math by missing – or ignoring – that reducing smoking reduces costs to taxpayers. The state (yes, that's you the taxpayer) paid $480 million in Medicaid bills last year to treat low-income smokers who got sick. Add in what additional money we all pay in health care premiums and we are over a billion dollars in costs due to tobacco-related disease.
If everyone would quit, as Gov. Doyle suggested, we would save half a billion in tax dollars each year and thousands of lives. Do the math. Even if the tax doesn't generate the money that is predicted, we're still money ahead.
While some smokers' reactions are understandable, this is not about taxing the vulnerable to raise money – or punishing "sin."
It is about extremely effective, wise and simple health care policy that saves lives and saves taxpayers' money. If you are a smoker, we know that most of you want to quit. Let us help! Services are available through most health insurance and Medicaid. In addition, the tobacco control program helps to fund the quit line -1-800-QUIT-NOW.
We all win when smokers quit and kids never start. Thank you State Legislature and governor for doing the right thing.
Maureen Busalacchi
Executive Director

Rondy Butters
Name: Rondy Butters
Since the release of her video, several campus departments have requested she help create their promotional videos.
Name: Rondy Butters
Hometown: Morgan, Utah
Major: Undecided
Interests: film, photography
Clubs and Organizations: First Year Student Committee
Westminster College's offer to Rondy Butters was one she couldn't turn down—a small campus environment and a full-ride scholarship. Growing up in a small town, being in a similar setting for college was important. The campus size makes her feel safe and she enjoys getting to know everyone. What made Westminster more enticing was that as a Sterling Scholar she was awarded full tuition.
Currently a freshman, Rondy is still undecided in her major. While her interest lies in the arts—namely film and photography—she is considering other areas of study since Westminster doesn't offer a focus in either field. Rondy hasn't given up hope of becoming a film major though. She is working with the Communication professors in hopes of starting a film major.
A self taught videographer and film editor, Rondy got her start by making random videos with her parents' camera. Through the years, her skills have developed into making various types of films. "My favorite kinds of movies to make are wedding videos and music videos," she says.
Rondy's passion for film has also captured the attention of Westminster's campus community. As the winner of the "My Life at Westminster" video contest, her work has been shared with the campus and is posted on the college's YouTube page.
"I have had a lot of people coming up to me saying they loved my video, which was a surprise to me because at a large college the campus would be too big for anyone to notice me," said Rondy.
Since the release of her video, several campus departments have requested she help create their promotional videos.
Rondy's freshman year has been a busy one. Between adjusting to college life and studying, she attends every campus activity while filming on the side. She is also part of the First Year Student Committee—planning activities to increase involvement on campus for new students.
Along for Rondy's journey through college is her fish, Mista Fish, who keeps her company everywhere she goes—traveling in a Westminster water bottle. "He likes to see the world," she says. Whether it's class or filming her latest movie, Mister Fish has a front row seat.
Rondy is still figuring out a course best suited for her. But for now, Westminster is the perfect place. The small campus, course sizes and atmosphere have contributed to a great college experience. "I love the class sizes a lot," she says. On a smaller campus, she has the opportunity to get to know her professors, peers, get involved, and her work doesn't go unnoticed.

Plenty of words almost described the Durango High School girls basketball team Friday night.
�It was OK,� DHS head coach Nancy Smith said.
Spot on.
The Demons nearly doubled their point total from their first meeting with the Montrose Indians, but they still lost the Southwestern League rematch 54-38 on Friday night at DHS on senior night because of inconsistent defense and shooting.
For the first three quarters, the Indians dismantled Durango�s newly implemented zone defense with a drive-and-dish attack that played to Montrose�s superior size and took advantage of the Demons� oft-perplexed rotation on the back side.
The Indians built a 45-20 lead on a 16-2 third quarter that was far too much for the Demons to overcome.
�That gave them most of their free layups,� said Durango�s Molly Barnes, daughter of Joe Barnes and Carol Cunefare.
Kala Keltz finished with 19 points for the Indians to lead all scorers. Emily Thorp added 12.
�Our energy just kind of waned,� Smith said.
This time around, though, at DHS, the Demons got plenty of chances to strike back.
On Friday, the Demons finally squashed the turnover bug that�s been buzzing around them for most of the season, limiting themselves to 13 turnovers, half of those coming in the first quarter.
They only had one in the final frame for three total in the second half.
�That was our best turnover rate so far this season, so that�s really good,� Barnes said.
�We didn�t turn over the ball, which means we got a lot more shots off,� said Jessi Sigillito, daughter of John and Laurie Sigillito.
Unfortunately for the Demons, most of those shots didn�t get much further than the rim.
Whereas the Indians collapsed the Demons� zone defense possession after possession with their size and authoritative play, then took advantage of shots from the outside, the Montrose zone kept its shape like a memory-foam mattress.
�And we didn�t push it as much as we wanted to,� Smith said.
The Demons settled for jump shots for the first three quarters, often contested or from poor position and didn�t find much net.
Durango was 0-for-6 from beyond the 3-point arc in the first quarter. DHS hit just two 3s on about a dozen shots and scored just 19 points in the first half.
So the Montrose turnover bug got squashed, but the shooting miasma? Still infectious.
�And last time we played them, that happened, too,� Smith said of the Demons 11-percent shooting percentage the first time the teams met in January.
McCue led the Demons with 13 points, and Barnes scored eight for DHS (11-7, 4-5 SWL).
Both seniors were honored at halftime along with teammates Alyssa Montoya, Shanelle Bogus and Dominique Ward.
Six of McCue�s points came in the final quarter, which the Demons handily won with the game too far out of reach.
In that quarter, they scored 18 of their points and forced the Indians into five turnovers. The Demons finally figured out how to find space in the paint and pick solid shots.
�We were in a rush,� Sigillito said. �When we started to slow down and realized we could keep up with this team, we started to make our shots.�
With a game against Grand Junction marking the end of Durango�s regular season and SWL play at noon today at the DHS gymnasium and Durango�s playoff hopes at stake, Smith said those were good lessons to learn.
�With every test you take, you learn from it,� Smith said. �Teacher hands it back, and you take it home.�
