very nice small flat, very close to notre dame and modern armosphere. bakery, restaurants everything is just a walk awaya garage where you can leave the car for a week-end is 5 min away. You have to climb a lot of stairs to the flat, so not for handicaped people.albert is a gentle and polite host. thank you.
My wife and me stayed 8 days in this lovely apartment. This is an excellent choice for those visiting Paris for leisure or business. In the past when visiting Paris I've been mostly to hotels which are rather expensive and offer much less. Let me comment in detail the pros and cons of this apartment.
-Great neighborhood with all kind of shops and restaurants, close to everything, three metro stops nearby. You feel like a true Parisian for a few days.
-Reformed apartment, looks great, with good-quality furnishings, good kitchen with decent appliances including a washing machine, decent bed, separated toilet room and shower room. In particular the shower room is better than most hotels I've ever been to, great pressure, instant hot water, top-of-the-line fixtures.
-Real high-bandwidth internet. Coupled with the small but decent flat screen TV, I was able to connect my laptop to the TV through HDMI and stream movies, no problem.
-Very responsive host, the apartment was clean at arrival, the deposit was promptly returned.
Cons (nothing is perfect I guess):
-4th floor without elevator (very usual in Paris). Not really a problem for us but should be taken into account for people with physical problems.
-No toaster or frying pan. This was surprising considering the owner must have spent quite some money reforming the apartment. A little investment would make breakfast much more enjoyable for guests.
-Pillows are not so good. Not a big issue for me, but my wife had trouble sleeping. Again a little investment from the owner would easily fix this.
-A bit noisy, there is a bar right downstairs and sometimes you can hear them late in the night, particularly in the weekends. Nothing extreme and we we are able to bear it, but noticeable.
In my opinion the pros greatly outweight the cons so I give a 5-star rating and greatly recommend this place to people travelling to Paris for a few days.
High standard of the apartment with a comfortable bed. Apt. is on the fourth floor without elevator, so good excersie going up the stairs after having your croissant in one of the nice coffeshops in the area. Location is very good with close proximity to Marais shopping-and dining area and also close to metrostations. Only negative thing is that the apartmenthouse is adjacent to a bar on the ground floor. And despite living on the fourth floor, you here the music very clearly from the bar until closing time @2 am.
The Appartement is in the middle of Marais, nearby the Seine and the Notre Dame cathedral. We loved to do our excursions every day and to have our dinner in the nearby restaurants. In most cases no need to use the Metro, but walking everywhere and using the hop on/off bus.The appartement itself was very friendly and modern inside an ancient house. Sometimes a little bit loud in the stairway in the middle of the night. But we'd always take it a second time.
The apartment is perfect !! Albert thank you! See you soon!
L'appartement est parfait!! Merci Albert! À bientôt!
Very good location, most beautiful area of Paris!!
Apartment is clean, safe and well furnished. Supermarket close by.
All you need for a visit to Paris.
Everything was perfect and is exactly as described.
The apartment is super cut appears larger than the indication of the square.
The location is great, you are part of the action, yet it is very quiet in the apartment, you can let the Fenstre easily opened at wäreme.
Before, we were in a different apartment in the Marais district, it looks like, we will try again to rent this apartment, were therefore certainly not the last time there!
Despite language barriers, the handover and everything else worked perfectly, everything went very smoothly.
Thank you to this point again!
Alles war perfekt und ist genau so wie beschrieben.
Die Wohnung ist super geschnitten, wirkt größer, als die Angabe der qm.
Auch die Lage ist super, man ist mitten im Geschehen und dennoch ist es sehr ruhig in der Wohnung, man kann die Fenstre bei wäreme problemlos geöffnet lassen.
Bisher waren wir in einer anderen Wohnung im Marais-Viertel, so wie es aussieht, werden wir versuchen, wieder diese Wohnung zu mieten, waren also ganz sicher nicht das letzte Mal da!
Trotz sprachlicher Barrieren hat auch die Übergabe und alles andere bestens funktioniert, alles lief vollkommen problemlos.
Vielen Dank an dieser Stelle nochmal!
Yes, a really nice apartment with a superb location in Paris's Marais district. The apartment has lots of light, The bathroom is large and the bed very comfortable.
Thank you Albert and greetings from Cologne Ina & Jürgen
Ja, eine wirklich sehr hübsche Wohnung mit einer traumhaften Lage im Pariser Marais-Viertel. Die Wohnung hat viel Licht, Das Bad ist groß und das Bett sehr bequem.
Vielen Dank Albert und liebe Grüße aus Köln Ina & Jürgen
The apartment is nice, well appointed, quite clean and tidy. We found everything we needed for our 4 day stay. The apartment is bright and equal to how it looks in the photos. Surely it can accommodate 4 people as the sofa bed is too small. Our 11 year old son did not sleep very well in this bed, partly because there is a real mattress, but a foam mattress that rests directly on the ground. We believe that the apartment is perfect for a couple. The neighborhood is beautiful, clean and full of shops and bistros. We would go back ...
L'appartamento è carino, ben arredato, abbastanza pulito ed ordinato. Abbiamo trovato tutto quello che serviva per il nostro soggiorno di 4 giorni. L'appartamento è luminoso e uguale a come appare nelle foto. Sicuramente non può ospitare 4 persone perché il divano letto è troppo piccolo. Nostro figlio di 11 anni non ha dormito molto bene in questo letto, anche perchè non c'è un vero materasso, ma un materassino di gommapiuma che poggia direttamente in terra. Noi crediamo che l'appartamento sia perfetto per una coppia. Il quartiere è bellissimo, pulito e pieno di negozi e bistrot. Ci piacerebbe ritornare...

9 Simple Tasks That No One in a Commercial Can Do Right
#4. See
Taking the light bounced off of an object and turning it into something your brain can interpret is a complicated process. Lucky for us, it happens automatically in the area located behind what's called the human face. But I don't think these commercials are made for humans. Take for instance the one for InstaBulb. They want to demonstrate the frustrations of darkness, so they show a blind woman yelling at the cans in her pantry.
"How do I get out!? Who's saying that!? Why hasn't some kind of giant man in space invented light!?"
It's not only darkness that confounds our sense of sight. Drivers in commercials have mirrors made entirely out of blind spots. No one over the age of 30 can see, and reading glasses aren't a possibility, since ...
Besides, as the Knight Hawk Pen says, embarassing reading glasses make you feel older than you really are. Yes. It's much more young and hip to read a menu with a bird-themed magnifying glass.
Why are these commercials so excited about electric lights and glass lenses? In the 21st century, explaining what magnifying glasses do is like explaining you found a vagina on a horse. It's useless information, but definitely a strange, troubling kind of useless.
Lots of ads talk about the growing problem of darkness, so Olde Brooklyn Lantern went a step further to show how there is no way to solve the darkness problem. An old couple has to prepare a meal during a power outage. It goes fine, surprisingly, but now we're getting to the real problem. How are they supposed to eat in the dark? It obviously takes two hands to work a dinner, so holding a flashlight is out. The wife tries to get clever by balancing it on her shoulder, and the only thing she gets for her effort is a flashlight careening into her night spaghetti.
Night Spaghetti Flashlight Syndrome kills or injures one impossible dipshit every 29 seconds.
The mess that dingbat made is especially tragic because nobody in a commercial can ...
#3. Clean
Imagine you were selling a gadget that washes a person's feet, ass, or ears. Somehow you need to tell customers what your product cleans and also remind them that clean things are better than dirty things. It sounds obvious enough, but no commercial has ever tried it. Instead, they decided that the best way to sell cleaning products is to show tragic but unlikely accidents. For example, if your gardener had a muscular disease and you filmed him dying in an earthquake, you just produced the world's most ordinary hose commercial.
Are you in the market for a vacuum cleaner for a human ear? No? Well, you might change your mind when you see some stupid dick poke his own brain with a Q-Tip.
It's a pretty desperate gambit to hope your audience has no idea what ears are and how they work. We can all agree that if you injure your brain with your own Q-Tip, keep doing it and follow the light. It may one day save the life of the child you mistake for ice cream, you criminally stupid ape. Stop hiding from cotton swabs and call your mother -- science wants to know how she was a handful of goat meat left out in a sperm bank break room.
How has this sales technique become standard? We all know a cotton swab has at best a 1 in 10 zillion chance at killing us because that's how many we've used and we're all still alive. Is there someone at home who sees the WaxVac ad and suddenly feels lucky to have survived Q-Tips all these years? Maybe. They're discovering new mental disorders every day. Probably not, though. Falling on your face to make an identical product look good works great in beauty pageants, but looks goddamn stupid in advertising.
Let's take a look at Craig Burnett. He's an actor who's starred in dozens of commercials and nearly died in all of them. He can't clean a dog, wash a car, install a webcam, or change a shower head. If you're making a commercial for suspenders, he's the guy you call to accidentally choke himself with a belt and look to camera in defeat. He's as close to a professional idiot as you can get, and even he can't make a garden hose look difficult.
While it's weird that actors in commercials seem to seize uncontrollably whenever they clean something, it might be stranger that no one in a commercial seems to know how to ...
#2. Eat
In the world of advertising, hamburgers squirt from buns, no spoon can contain the fury of moving soup, and anyone pouring milk might as well throw it all right on the floor.
Commercials not only take place in a world where no one has the motor skills required to move nutrients into their mouth, they also seem to hate food. Families become clinically depressed when handed dinner, and any time a woman checks a box's nutritional information, she makes a face like the only ingredients are pictures of urethra surgeries.
Commercials work hard to make us believe we can't work out, wear clothes, cook, clean ourselves, or eat. Next thing you know, they'll be trying to tell us we don't know how to ...
#1. Sleep
Did you know sleeping wrong can cause an injury to your neck or spine? I imagine you didn't, since all of you have slept every day of your life and hardly any of you are crippled from it. In a commercial, however, sleeping is the only thing more dangerous than a situp or a garden hose. Now that I think about it, what does a doctor prescribe when you're injured by rest? A knife fight over a bag of amphetamines?
Most ads for mattresses or pillows expect you to believe that mankind has had bedding wrong for centuries, but none of them will shatter everything you know about sleeping like Kush, the comfortable nighttime companion:
When I first heard that sleep was secretly destroying girl skeletons, I thought the solution was simple: pillows shaped like angry dogs, so no one lets their guard down. Apparently, the answer was far dumber. I ... you know, I've been making fun of these commercials for taking place in stupidly absurd worlds, but Kush, if you're telling ladies that the secret to a good night's sleep is always having a phallus between your boobs, that's a stupidly absurd world I can live in.

Global challenges like climate change and depletion of natural resources are so vast and complex that they require cooperation from everyone. This means that the public and private sectors, individuals and businesses alike will have to work together if we're ever going to affect significant, lasting change. We at Volvo Construction Equipment believe there's an important role we can play in addressing a range of economic, social and environmental issues through our dedication to corporate social responsibility (CSR) values.
CSR is a wide-ranging, ever-changing, utterly global topic. But to Volvo, CSR is all about minimizing environmental impact from our operations, working to develop energy- and fuel-efficient products, and being responsible partners in the communities in which we work. It's about creating long-term shared value for society, not simply focusing on our own bottom line. And it's our commitment to a stringent code of conduct, the way we aim to always do business in an appropriate, responsible, transparent way. For us CSR isn't merely a sideline activity; it's fully integrated into everything we do, from the way we design our machines to the way we treat our employees. That's because CSR comes naturally to us: it's in line with Volvo Group's cultural heritage and our core values of quality, safety and environmental care — as well as our well-established role as a trustworthy business partner.

Gang, is the preference as to which of the Cold Steel "Spikes" you would prefer for SD applications?
Thanks for your insight.

Long slender blades. Good for murdering, bad for self-defense. I have a spike scimitar and while it's pretty and useful for some leather-working I do, I'd probably not consider it for defense unless my options were very limited.
Knives in general have limited use in SD (not no use, just limited), because SD involves so much more than the sharp end making the other guy bleed. SD is all about stopping danger to the self and others. Blades don't do such a great at the "stop" part, and in situations where they do, there are probably better options.
February 20, 2013, 09:27 AM
I was kinda interested in the Spike Bowie, but read several reviews that said "because the grip area is small and there is no guard, if your hands get slippery you risk sliding forward onto the blade".
I've also heard (but have not verified) that some of them are kinda "soft" and won't hold an edge that well.
Ultimately I decided to "pass" on them though even now I think the "scimitar" looks pretty damned cool.
February 21, 2013, 05:54 PM
I have a few of the Talon spikes tucked away somewhere in storage. I cord wrapped the handle to make it fatter, and modified the sheath a little to fit a small Tek-lok. I thought it would work pretty well using Southnarc's reverse edge methods, namely the Pikal (reverse grip and blade edge in) aka RGEI method.
It is a bit longer than the Shivworks Disciple which is purpose-designed for that but set up properly on a tek lok it's also a lot cheaper (around 10% of the cost!) and still reasonably easy to draw (excess blade length on a fixed blade knife being a bad thing for self-defense, in my opinion).
I wouldn't say it's bad for self-defense at all.
February 23, 2013, 01:55 PM
Cold Steel Spikes are "cool" in looks and as long as they are under $18, they are a decent little novelty item. They are no better or worse than an ice pick. The steel is soft. They used some pretty steel, so the edge is not going to be hardened. I saw some prices at $32, and I say those prices are rip off for the product. Even $18 is a little high.
I own the original talon style, tanto, and the recent Tokyo Spike. More notching and beveling, and they are pretty. The grip is useless. The black string is barely any traction. Having said all that, I own them because I like them as letter openers, cardboard and tape slicers, and better-than-nothing sticking tool if a real knife is not around.
Now, for the same $20 range, the 1055 steel thrower is an awesome product for the price. That is so much more of a real knife with paracord, where one can throw, and cut, and slice, and jam and wedge, if needed. More knife for the money.
If you want a pretty shank or shiv, that is all the Spike series are for. Nice enough plastic edge sheath. For $8-$10, at half the price, the cheap Sawmill Cutlery SM15 file-turned-to-knife can do a better job, at twice the thickness, and much better wooden grip. Hey, do not let the Pakistan marking fool you. IT is a better shiv than the Cold Steel Spike.

Mansome is essentially handsome with a few differences. The person referred is expected to be unshaven and their hair unkempt. The rest of them however is very fit and attractive to the female. It is used especially in conversation when physical sexual attraction (and not much else) is implied.

Angels Nip Cubs at Diablo Park
Xavier Batista and Blair Springfield each had two hits, a run scored, and an RBI, but the EXST Angels rallied for five runs in the bottom of the 8th to edge the EXST Cubs 7-6 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action at Diablo Park in Tempe this morning.
Rebel Ridling (appendectomy with complications) once again was a DH, getting five Plate Appearances in the first seven innings. He roped a liner into the LF corner in his first AB (but only managed to get to 1st base), then was called out on strikes in his second PA, before grounding out three times in a row (1-3, 5-3, 5-3) to complete his day at the plate. While he seems to be swinging the bat OK, he also seems to be running a bit gingerly.
2009 3rd round pick LHP Austin Kirk (Owasso HS – Owasso, OK) started the game for the Cubs, and labored through 2.2 IP (54 pitches), allowing two singles, a triple, and two walks (albeit only one run). RHP Tarlandus Mitchell followed and couldn't find home plate, walking three batters and hitting another one in addition to allowing two singles and a double, but only one run over his 1.2 IP (51 pitches).
20-year old Dominican LHRP Marcos Perez continues to throw strikes, coming into the game today with the bases loaded and getting out of the jam with a strikeout. Perez allowed just a bunt single in 1.1 IP of work (13 pitches – 12 strikes), while striking out three. In three Extended Spring Training appearances so far, Perez has thrown 5.1 IP of shutout ball, allowing just one hit (a bunt single) and no walks, while striking out seven. And he has thrown the 5.1 IP on just 42 pitches, of which 36 were strikes. That in itself will likely catch the eyes of the Cubs Player Development people.
LHP (ex-OF) Drew Rundle pitched one inning, throwing seven balls in a row before finally finding the strike zone, at which point he threw five strikes in a row, getting a strike 'em out/throw 'em out DP and a 1-3 comebacker to the mound to get out of the inning unscathed.
But Carlos Rojas had a nightmare from hell outing, allowing five runs on five hits (a single, two triples, and two home runs, plus a HBP) while getting just one out in the 8th, as the 19-year old Venezuelan RHP took the loss.
The game featured one very unusual occurrence. With Charles Thomas on 3rd base and Xavier Batista on 1st and one out in the 7th, Melvin Camarena hit a pop up behind home plate that the Angels catcher caught near the screen. But seeing that the Angels pitcher was just standing on the mound watching, an alert Thomas broke for home plate and scored on what was a sacrifice fly to the catcher! (And then Batista quietly tippy-toed into 2nd base while the Angels stood around trying !o figure out what just happened).
On the EXST injury front, Manuel Pestana left the game after jamming his right shoulder while sliding head-first into a base in the top of the 2nd inning.
In EXST Cubs roster news, RHP Chris Carpenter (sore shoulder) has completed his rehab assignment at Fitch Park and has rejoined AA Tennessee after pitching in only one Extended Spring Trauining game (1.2 IP last Friday).
Here is today's abridged box score (EXST Cubs players only):

Re: Angels Nip Cubs at Diablo Park
I've feared this for a long time. What type of package do you think we could get for them? I assume not a ton, but maybe a top twenty prospect or two from each. Lee probably better value than Lilly at this point, right? Just looking for thoughts
Re: Angels Nip Cubs at Diablo Park
Len: Let's see... Cubs had no runs on... three hits? That's all we got, three goddamn hits?

What the hell is the National Institutes of Health doing posting lyrics to children's songs? WTF is this? The F-ing Barney show? Not with MY damn tax dollars!
Funny I should ask this. Evidently, I was not the only one. Check out this section on their website with the heading,
"So why do we include a Sing-Along section?
How is that "educationally" relevant?"
Re: Angels Nip Cubs at Diablo Park
I am slightly more encouraged tonight than probably the rest of the Cub world (probably because I started Pelfry on my fantasy team tonight, it has me in a good mood). Soriano is making some decent contact and looking like he might come alive at any moment. Maybe.
Zambrano was lights out except for one inning.
Fontenot looked far worse on the basepaths than he did at SS. It's easy to criticize poor baserunning, but let's not forget that certain people on this team are not on base enough to screw up running on the basepaths.

Have you seen Huseby throw a side session since he returned to Fitch? Just wondering if he is back not being able to hit the broad side of a barn again.
Re: Angels Nip Cubs at Diablo Park
Aramis Ramirez does not look injured to me, just based on how hard he's swinging. I mean he's not holding anything back. I don't recall him going into deep slumps like this before, except when he first came back from that shoulder detachment thing. Can someone refresh my memory, is he a streak hitter?
I could probably Google for an answer, but someone here probably knows. Also, I quit searching the Internet ever since I Googled 'delicious muffin tops' in an effort to improve my muffin recipe.
Re: Angels Nip Cubs at Diablo Park
You have to go back to 2006 to find Ramirez struggling (.197 BA) in April, but he ended that season with his best HR (38) and RBI (119) totals ever.
Lilly likely to start on Saturday
'"He's a go," manager Lou Piniella said Tuesday.
Piniella said he's leaning toward Saturday, but won't make a decision until Wednesday. Lilly pitched seven innings Monday at Class-A Peoria and was 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA in two rehab starts, striking out 13 in 11 innings.'
Re: Angels Nip Cubs at Diablo Park
Castro was 2-4 with a double and a HR last night - he's hitting .380 .396 .620 with 4 SB's and 12 RBI's batting #2 for the Smokies. I think it's time for a promotion to AAA. Chris Carpenter made the start for Knoxville last night - 3 innings, 1 run.
Re: I think it's time for a promotion to AAA.
Yah! Let's move him up to the AAA Chicago Cubs.
Re: Angels Nip Cubs at Diablo Park
Re: Angels Nip Cubs at Diablo Park
Thomas Diamond also pitched 6 innings and gave up only 1 earned run. His 3 BB to 4 Ks were nothing special, but overall he's been very solid going all the way back to spring training. He's got to be in the bullpen picture, right?
Re: Angels Nip Cubs at Diablo Park
I am hearing that Jim Hendry is looking to make a deal to boost the struggling Cubs. Not a minor move but looking much bigger than that.
Re: Angels Nip Cubs at Diablo Park
Braden Looper is 6'4" 235 lbs. That's bigger.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.

It's a feat Tom Arnold is proud to announce: "I can tuck my shirt in!"
That's because the 6'2" actor no longer has to hide his belly after losing 89 lbs. since the birth of his son Jax last April.
"Something inside of me changed," Arnold, 54, tells PEOPLE about becoming a dad. "I knew I needed to live as long as I could."
Over the years, Arnold weighed as much as 287 lbs. after struggling with depression and overeating.
Breakfast used to be a six-egg omelet with cheese, six turkey sausage links, plus oatmeal. A sample dinner would be an extra-large meat pizza along with breadsticks dipped in cheese. He also downed 15 diet sodas a day.
"There was a lot of shame," says Arnold of his size. "One time I had a tailor come over and sew the weights into my suits – this is what you wear when you are 210, 220, 240, 300. That saved me the time of going into my closet and getting so upset and frustrated."
But that was all before welcoming his first child with Ashley, 38, after years of infertility struggles.
"The moment I saw [Jax] I realized he deserves the best," Arnold says. So he gave up bread and cake right away. He also fits in cardio, circuit-training and abdominal workouts.
But his favorite exercise? Rolling around with Jax. "I have tons more energy to play with my son," he says.

I love this message! Thanks for posting.ReplyDelete
Love it. Every bit is so true.ReplyDelete
This is such a great video. Thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
i really like this, but i have to say i would LOVE it if there was no religious component. i think it would have more universal appeal if it was geared toward everyone, rather than just christians. :-) just my opinion.ReplyDelete
This is such a powerful video and so true!ReplyDelete
I pretty much just commented on 5mfm about the gross over spending and how we've gotten so far away from the meaning of Christmas. This video says it even better.ReplyDelete
And the Black Friday madness makes me cringe. I understand wanting a good deal but when people die because of the (what I see as...) greed it just makes me so so deeply sad.ReplyDelete
Wow! What a great message...I may have to grab that video for my blog, such a great message. Jesus is the Reason for the Season! THanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Great video. Personally for my family its all about the family. We do family homemade gifts, we do family homemade christmas crafts, we do family caroling, we do family cooking, we do family parades... It's all about the family and us remembering the reason for the season. JESUS.. Happy Birthday Jesus. We love you and thank you for letting us share in this special day with you with our families!!!!ReplyDelete
I almost put this one on my blog yesterday! It's such a great video. Thank you for sharing it.
Christmas can be such madness when it comes to spending. I love the idea for your kids of buying only four things and spreading them out over the Holidays. Something they WANT, something they NEED, something to WEAR, and something to READ. And that's IT. Four even seems like a lot of me, but we end up getting so much more than that in the end. This is such a good way to cut back and focus on specific things. Just thought I'd share :)
thank you. I really needed to see that.ReplyDelete
That is awesome!! I HATE the consumerism that seems to swallow Christmas!ReplyDelete
I just love that video. I saw it earlier this morning as well. I think I just may have to share as well. I give it a big AMEN!ReplyDelete

Because they lost power to the water cooling system, they needed to vent the pressure that's building up inside.My suspicion is that as the temperature inside the reactor was rising, some of the metal cans that surround the fuel may have burst and at high temperature, that fuel cladding can react with water to produce zirconium oxide and hydrogen.That hydrogen then will be part of the gases that need to be vented. That hydrogen then mixes with the surrounding air. Hydrogen and oxygen can then recombine explosively. So it seems while the explosion wasn't directly connected with the nuclear processes, it was indirectly connected, because the hydrogen was only present because of what was going on in the reactor core.

Bishop England was awarded its 12th consecutive South Carolina Athletics Administrators Association's Director's Cup after another stellar school year of overall high school athletics.
The Battling Bishops won 2A state championships in volleyball, football, girls tennis, boys golf, boys soccer and girls track. They earned second place state finishes in baseball, girls basketball, girls lacrosse, boys track and boys swimming.
Academic Magnet came in third in 2A. In the 4A ranks, Wando was voted as runner up to Lexington.
Wando catcher Babe Thomas earned an invitation to play in the North/South All-Star baseball game in Myrtle Beach this past weekend.
The Warriors also send Michael Carpin, who played pitcher and first baseman for the District 6 4A state playoff finalists, to the South Carolina Select roster. Bishop England outfielder Zack Madden joins Carpin on the team, which will travel to UNC Charlotte, June 19-20, to play the North Carolina Select players.

For Denise Garrido, whose Miss Universe Canada crown was taken away after 24 hours due to a paperwork error, the answer is clear.
"It's definitely a blessing in disguise," the 26-year-old brunette beauty from Bradford, Ontario, tells PEOPLE. "I had this dream since I was a kid. I had that moment to be Miss Universe Canada."
For this pageant veteran – Garrido also won 2008 Miss Earth Canada and 2010 Miss World Canada (and has a degree in bio-medical sciences) – that moment meant the usual tears and congratulations, including hugs at an after-party by the judges who didn't in fact vote for her to win last Saturday night.
The next evening, after a whirlwind Sunday of media interviews and video and photo shoots, a pageant official told her to come in for a meeting. "They had something to discuss with me," she recalled.
"As we were sitting down, just the tone of the voice, I felt there was some sadness behind the tone. My heart sank, I thought, 'Uh-oh,'" she says.
That's when the pageant's director dropped the bombshell that something went wrong when the scores were transferred from the judges' paper forms to electronic tabulation.
Garrido in fact finished fourth.
"I was still on this adrenaline rush and completely exhausted. I was still sleep-deprived. So I didn't know if this was actually real," she says. "I was like, 'No, there is no way.' At the same time, I thought, 'How am I going to face everyone at home, all the congratulations?' I was feeling embarrassed and shocked and I was in disbelief."
Nicholas Allum
"I felt disappointed because I felt that I performed very well throughout the entire night," Santos says. "I had executed everything to the best of my ability."
The brown-haired model/actress and Army reservist felt good after the swimsuit and evening gown rounds and thought her Q&A session with judges went particularly well.
After she was named first-runner up, she skipped the official after-party, opting instead for a late-night dinner at a Chinese restaurant with her boyfriend and her parents, who had flown in from across the country for the pageant.
She was still reliving the night in her mind, trying to figure out what went wrong, when her mom finally reached her on Monday afternoon to say the pageant director was desperately trying to track her down. It turned out that he had left messages both on her Facebook page and phone.
When she called him back, he asked her if she was sitting down because he had good news and bad news. She asked for the bad news first. It was that she had a busy year ahead because the good news was she was actually the winner of Miss Universe Canada.
"I had already taken the time over the 48 hours to internalize what had happened and accept the fact that I hadn't won. I was actually okay with it at that point," she says.
Now, heading to the Miss Universe Pageant to represent Canada – plus a packed schedule of promotional appearances and charity work – Santos is numb, still trying to reconcile winning the crown but also being denied her moment in the spotlight.
"I'm not really sure how I feel about," she says. "I'm not disappointed about it. I did miss the victory party.

Design and Implementation of a Speaker-Independent Voice Dialing System: A Multi-lingual Approach
Iso-Sipilä, Juha
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2008-04-18
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication;729
University: Tampere University of Technology
Faculty: Faculty of Computing and Electrical Engineering
Department: Department of Signal Processing
Speech as a means of communication is most natural to human beings. Therefore, it should be straightforward to apply the same modality for commonly used communication devices, such as mobile phones. The current state-of-the-art speech processing technology enables a wide range of applications using both speech input and output modalities. Research in the areas of speech recognition and speech synthesis has been carried out for several decades but real breakthroughs are yet to be seen. In addition to mastering the above-mentioned technologies, a computer should be able to understand the speech as humans do. Only then, natural spoken communication between a human and a machine can be accomplished in a similar manner as in human to human communications. Currently, in many cases, the users' expectations do not meet the capabilities of the technology. The evolution of voice interfaces for mobile phones is progressing despite the problems mentioned above. During the 1990s the first devices were equipped with so called speaker-dependent voice dialing or voice tagging. Most mobile device manufacturers included this feature to their devices before the year 2000. This can be considered to be the first speech application with hundreds of millions of installations and a multi-lingual user base. In an application utilizing speaker-independent speech recognition, the user does not need to perform any training and the device is immediately available for use. This is an advantage to the user but, at the same time, presents a number of challenges to the design of the system. The biggest challenge is that the speaker-independent system is language dependent and the system requires additional development effort for every language. Speaker-independent systems are inherently more complex than speaker-dependent since the speech recognizer has to be trained with a large group of speakers for each language. In addition, a speech synthesizer is needed for spoken feedback. This thesis considers a multi-lingual approach for a voice dialing application running on a mobile device. The proposed techniques and their applications form the core of a multi-lingual speaker-independent voice dialing system. The voice dialing system utilizes multi-lingual speech recognition, speech synthesis and language processing technologies to create a compact and complete system that can be easily extended and configured to existing and new languages. The system is split into subsystems which are designed and developed independently. The subsystems include research topics, such as multi-lingual phonetics, multi-lingual acoustic modeling, pronunciation modeling, speech recognition and speech synthesis. The subsystems communicate within a framework and share common resources. The basis for the overall system is the definition of a multi-lingual phoneme set that represents the phonology of any supported language. The harmonized phonetic presentation is further utilized in pronunciation modeling, speech recognition and speech synthesis. Additionally, the speech recognition engine is developed in such a manner that makes it language-independent and utilizes a very compact representation of the acoustic models. The speech synthesis engine, based on a well known formant synthesizer, is both compact in size and easily runtime configurable with a description language. Finally, the pronunciation modeling engine is developed so that it supports several types of pronunciation modeling methods without dependencies to individual languages. The functionality is implemented so that a collection of runtime parameters define the operations and languages supported by any instance of the system. The contribution of this thesis includes the design and development of the subsystems and their integration to build a real application for mobile devices.

Steve Lewis/Durango Herald file photo
From one elite eight to another, Justa Whitt is chasing basketball redemption.
It�s told in the margins of two team photos, and like the curvature of the hoop around which it centers, this story starts in Ignacio, and it ends there, too.
It takes more than 20 years to trace the narrative rim from browbeaten baller to conquering coach, but Ignacio�s prodigal daughter finally is back where she belongs.
Whitt, now the Ignacio High School girls basketball program�s first-year head coach, got her first taste of basketball�s elite eight in March of 1993 as a 6-5 center on the University of Colorado women�s basketball team, which made a run deep into the NCAA Division I Tournament.
That signed team picture from that first elite eight appearance still hangs at the salon where Whitt works.
Signature company she�d earned, in part, with what some Ignacio community members saw as an act of athletic betrayal: After growing up in Ignacio�s school system and playing two years in the Bobcats� girls basketball program, Whitt changed uniforms.
For her final two years, the girl who could�ve been Ignacio�s big star became Durango High School�s big gun, instead.
�I went to school here (in Ignacio) all my life,� Whitt said. �Because of my size and potential, I went to Durango High School my last two years of high school.
�And that was something that was held over me for a lot of years,� she said.
It�s an easy sentiment to understand. As a Demon wearing red and white of a different stripe, Whitt put her name in the CHSAA record books, shooting an astronomical 62 percent from the floor in the 1990-91 season, which still ranks seventh all-time in Colorado prep history.
That�s a lot of baskets the Bobcats missed out on.
But Whitt�s bailing from Ignacio two decades ago put the Bobcats on an unforeseen path � a road to the CHSAA Class 2A Girls Basketball State Championships� elite eight for just the third time in IHS girls basketball history.
It�s another team picture for Whitt � this one as first-year head coach � and a first elite eight team picture for her girls.
Though she�s quick to place the praise other places � former head coach Brice Searles, foremost, and assistant coach Bri Simbeck, next � the Ignacio girls basketball team wouldn�t be playing Akron at 10:15 a.m. today at Massari Arena in Pueblo without Whitt.
They wouldn�t have a 16-7 record, either, or San Juan Basin League regular-season, district and regional titles, all for the first time in at least a decade.
�She�s coaching aggressively; she�s got the kids working hard, and the kids are working hard for her,� IHS athletic director Rocky Cundiff said. �That�s what I wanted, and that�s what she�s doing.�
Credit those years playing with America�s collegiate elites, born of a decision first to play for the other team.
Undersized and for the most part lacking an air of natural athleticism, the Ignacio girls don�t look much like a basketball team.
They just play like one.
Part of that, Whitt said, comes from years of playing together � some girls have been teammates since fourth grade � allowing ample time to develop a deep sense of each others game.
�They still have the wherewithal to know what they should be doing, even though they aren�t the biggest girls on the court,� Whitt said.
But the other big part of that basketball skill comes from taking on a 6-5 college center every day in practice.
�I�ve gotten in and banged with the post players ever since I got in as an assistant, and I know that�s made them better,� said Whitt, who served as Searles� assistant coach the previous three years.
�I go full force against them. I play just like I would against the regular players in college, and I make them go around me, and I seal them off and make them play defense.�
The day-in, day-out banging has worked wonders for a team that often appears outgunned by girls who look the standard basketball player part.
It�s also a reason why the teams that look like winners so often have walked off the court losers when they play the Bobcats.
Whitt�s toil has taught the IHS girls to fake shots, battle for position and always play tight defense.
Visualize, forget mistakes, communicate, move on, use teammates, work on and off the court.
Play basketball.
�That�s definitely helped them not be afraid of bigger players,� Whitt said.
They�ll need it today against Akron, which comes into the game undefeated (24-0) and the defending state champions. The Rams have all five of their state-champion starters and size, too.
But at this point in a postseason tournament, as Whitt well knows, anything can happen.
�There�s no reason that we can�t take it to them,� Whitt said.
Like many, Cundiff remembers when the teenage Whitt took her game to Durango. But the community moves on, he said, and now, the wins and losses don�t matter so much as the investment in the girls.
�Whatever you do to help our kids, I�m OK with,� Cundiff said. �And she�s helping our kids.�
Hard work in basketball teaches hard work in life, �and the No. 1 thing is teaching life skills,� he said.
Whitt proves that as well as anyone.
Twenty years after working one team into the elite eight, she�s worked another into the Ignacio record books with an elite eight of their own. That�s worth at least another team picture and some more signatures.
Perhaps at last, it�s worth some final redemption, too.
�It�s just really kind of bittersweet that I get to come back here and repay where all my life was spent up until my last two years of high school and give back to the young ladies that I�m coaching,� Whitt said.
�And that�s one of the main reasons I coach: to give back what I was given.�

LaCROFT - Liverpool Township Trustees Monday night appointed Lieutenant Justin Wright as acting police chief, effective one minute after current Chief Charlie Burgess retires Nov. 30.
Trustees met briefly in executive session during their meeting, calling both Burgess and Wright into the closed-door meeting, after which they re-convened in regular session and appointed Wright.
Chairman Karl Kontnier noted the appointment of the lieutenant as acting chief until a permanent replacement is named is "according to agreement and policy."

Kontnier said after the meeting it could be some time before a chief is named since trustees will have to conduct interviews of interested candidates. He said it has not yet been discussed whether candidates from outside the department will be considered.
Burgess, who has served the department since 1985, has been chief since 2000, replacing Marion Perkins when he retired. Wright has been with the department since September 2010, serving part time until being appointed full time in August of last year. He was named lieutenant in April of this year.
Wright completed his police training at Jefferson Community College and worked as a full-time officer in Wellsville for eight years prior to taking the full-time job with Liverpool Township.
Burgess was presented a gift by Patrolman Kevin Hughes and was thanked by trustees for his years of service and dedication. He will work until 11:59 p.m. Nov. 30, with Wright taking over at midnight on Dec. 1.
In other matters Monday, trustees:
** Approved a permit application from Columbia Gas for an open cut from Croft Street to Boring Lane
** Accepted a check from the Liverpool Township Patrolmen's Association to pay for new flashlights for the police department and also a $500 donation from the Mangano Foundation
** Forwarded a resolution to county commissioners for load reductions up to 50 percent during the winter months
** Noted that the appointments of Gary Bonnell to the zoning commission and Patty Hull to the board of zoning appeals are both up for renewal Dec. 31.

But like many folks in Sabreland, he's curious about the direction of the franchise and whether he'll be part of it.
Vanek has one year left on his contract, which has made him the focus of trade talk heading toward Wednesday's deadline. General Manager Darcy Regier said he is open to offers on all his players.
"I would definitely like to stay," said Vanek, who missed Sunday night's 2-0 loss to Boston with an upper-body injury. "I like this area. I'm comfortable where I'm at, but I would like to know what the direction is. The next four days I can't control, then after that we'll see what Darcy and [owner] Terry [Pegula] and them have to say."
Vanek is the Sabres' runaway leader in goals and points despite missing seven games with injuries. They could have used his offensive talent against the Bruins. Both teams were playing on the second night of back-to-back games, and they struggled to a 0-0 tie through 50 minutes.
David Krejci finally broke the deadlock with 7:06 to play, getting free from Andrej Sekera in the crease to whack home a rebound. Nathan Horton sent the crowd of 19,027 streaming toward the First Niagara Center exits with 4:16 left when he tipped home a pass by Krejci.
The setback was the fourth straight for the Sabres (0-2-2), who fell to 13th place in the Eastern Conference.
"We played a complete game, had a couple mistakes there at the end," Sabres coach Ron Rolston said. "That was one of our best team games since I've been here. Period. Hands down."
Rolston made the Sabres' most noise with a line change. Cody Hodgson, who had centered the top line nearly all season, was dropped to the fourth and skated alongside wingers Patrick Kaleta and John Scott. Rolston said it was for defensive reasons.
The outcome doesn't make the Sabres' decision on Vanek any easier. He is the type of player a team builds around – or deals for significant assets if it wants an overhaul.
"I think every year you think about that, but obviously this year probably more than any other year because of the position we're in and one year left on my contract," Vanek said. "Obviously, you think about it, but at the same time it's part of the business. If it happens, it happens, and we'll move on.
"You never like to. I've raised my family here. I enjoy where I'm at, but I understand the situation. I'm not sure. I haven't talked to anyone about what their plan is. Again, it's something you can't control. Again, if it happens, you move on and you help whatever team you move on to. If you stay here, I'll do the same things I've been doing for the last eight years."
The Sabres went to the Eastern Conference finals in Vanek's first two seasons, 2005-06 and '06-07. They missed the playoffs the next two while trying to rebuild after Chris Drury and Daniel Briere departed.
Vanek's not sure he'd be willing to stick around for another extended rebuild.
"Any player wants to know that," the 29-year-old said. "I'm sure nobody likes to call their team a rebuilding team, but if that's the phase, if it's one year that's OK, but if it's a two-, three-year plan again, you would probably look the other direction.
"To me, there's different types of rebuild. There's rebuilds like the Penguins and the Oilers did, consistently draft in the top five, or you go and get good players through trades, free agency and rebuild your team quicker in the summer. ... Rebuild is not a bad word, it's just which direction you choose to go."
The Sabres need to decide soon. They visit Pittsburgh on Tuesday in the final game before the deadline, and the latest loss was further evidence they have a ways to go to compete with teams like Boston.
"They're patient and confident," Rolston said. "They went into the third period with that in mind, and we still have to get there."

A State Supreme Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought against the Town of Allegany Planning Board by a wind power development company.
The decision by Supreme Court Justice Michael Nenno against Everpower Wind Holdings was brought to the attention of Concerned Citizens of Cattaraugus County by the group's lawyer, Gary Abraham.
In December, Everpower sued both the Town of Allegany and the Allegany Planning Board, claiming the board's request for a supplemental review of noise impacts, in light of the wind power company's request to use larger turbine blades, was arbitrary.
Nenno threw out the lawsuit against the Planning Board, citing Everpower's conduct as or willfully obstinate.

WELLSVILLE When one is looking for leadership on any high school sports team, it's usually expected to be found within that team's core of senior players.
But where does leadership come from when there are no seniors on a team?
For Wellsville, it's whoever feels the most vocal at any crucial point of the season.
"Anyone can step up and say anything," junior Nate Scott said. "We're all listening."
It's become an everyday practice for the Tigers, currently 21-3 and preparing for its Division IV district championship against Youngstown Christian. With no seniors within their nucleus of everyday players and veteran presences, improvement must come along with maturity.
"We have to stay on them," Wellsville coach David Thompson said. "But they get on each other, too. That's the difference from last year. They want to improve."
Last year, Wellsville fell, 63-50, to Mogadore in the district championship. In order to avoid a very similar fate this year, the Tigers knew there would have to be internal improvements.
"They've really grown up," Thompson said. "We struggled on the road last year, but we managed to play consistently this year. Most of these guys are two-year starters."
Both Scott and fellow junior Camden Douglas are two-year starters who gained valuable playing experience during their underclassmen years. Those experiences include last year's loss in districts, a memory neither player wishes to revisit.
"Our nerves got the best of us last year," Douglas said. "I feel we're definitely more focused this year."
"We got to know what it feels like last year," Scott said. "But I think that experience has helped us this year. It's much more calm around here now."
One of the benefits of an experienced squad is that consistent results become expected. Having won ten games in a row entering their district final, Wellsville feels that they have made the minor tweaks to polish themselves and find their highest potential.
"Most of it's things like better help defense," Scott said. "I feel like we've really started to come together during this streak."
It's become one of the hallmarks of a team that, despite having no seniors, has matured with the high amount of playing time they've gotten as freshmen and sophomores.
"We just need to help each other out," Douglas said. "We've been playing with each other for a while now."
Wellsville will face Youngstown Christian at 7 p.m. today at the Struthers Fieldhouse.

Book Highlights: Paul Ryan's 'The Way Forward'
Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) offers his prescription for success to the GOP in his book released Tuesday, "The Way Forward: Renewing the American Idea." Republicans' main problem, according to Mr. Ryan? They're preaching to the choir.
In the book—part memoir, part analysis of today's politics—Mr. Ryan, the 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee, argues that Republicans spend too much time appealing to groups that already agree with their principles. "Frankly, we've become lazy and complacent," he writes. "Instead of doing the hard work of persuading people, we've opted for the easy route, focusing our attention on communities where people already agree with us and trying to turn out the base."
"Preaching to the choir isn't working," he continues, "and by the way, the choir is shrinking."
Instead, he says, the GOP should spend more of its efforts trying to show how its principles can help people in their everyday lives—and that Republicans care about doing so. "The core of our problem is that people don't think we are offering them a better future," he writes. "The rich, comfortable, cold-hearted Republican who cares about protecting his own wealth from taxes and about little else, indifferent to the hardships of poor people who live in the same country but a different world, is mostly a figure of caricature," he adds, describing 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney—who was widely criticized for appearing aloof and uncaring—as "one of the most earnest, big-hearted people I've ever met in politics."
Mr. Ryan will embark on a week-long book tour Wednesday, which will include a stop at the Urban League Club of Chicago, where he will be interviewed by Mr. Romney. His book—published as potential Democratic 2016 contenders Hillary Clinton and Sen. Elizabeth Warren have also released memoirs in recent months—is likely to fuel speculation over a possible presidential run.
Since 2012—when Mr. Romney won a record percentage of the white vote but still lost the election—Republicans have grappled with how to improve their chances the next time around with Hispanics and African Americans. Mr. Ryan writes, "It was an admittedly poor showing, and projected growth among these voters will create more problems for the GOP unless we can more effectively communicate how our approach would be as good for them as it would be for all Americans."
But, Mr. Ryan argues, the answer is not to abandon the party's principles—something he says would be an "enormous mistake." "A winning party knows how to play to its strengths, and our greatest strengths are the conviction, intellectual force, and moral idealism of the conservative cause," he writes. "Take those away, and what's really left?"
Other highlights:
On Dick Cheney snubbing him:
In 2001, Mr. Ryan was invited along with other lawmakers to meet with then-Vice President Dick Cheney in the first term of the Bush administration to discuss the budget surplus.
"The surplus has given us a huge opportunity," I explained. "If we dedicate the Social Security surplus to reform, we can shore up the program and end the raid on the trust fund." I talked about the opportunity to create a real ownership society, how workers could actually own a piece of the free enterprise system through these reforms. As soon as I finished my pitch, Vice President Cheney said, "Yeah, we're not going to do that." Then he looked at the person sitting next to me, signaling that he was ready to hear the next idea. His terse reply was the verbal equivalent of someone swatting an annoying mosquito from his face.
On the final round of questioning before he was chosen as vice president:
When I got the e-mail, there were a lot of odd questions: What's your neck size? What's your shirt size? Would you rather travel from one town to the next at night or make the trip early the next day? What do you eat for breakfast? I showed the questionnaire to Janna [his wife]. She looked at me and said, "Holy cow. This could actually happen."
On sneaking into Mr. Romney's announcement of his VP pick:
I was slipping out the back door of our house in Janesville in my hunting camo. … As I snuck across our backyard, I made my way into the woods where I had spent afternoons and weekends playing as a kid. … Back at our house, my sister-in-law, Dana, did her best to make it look like another regular night at the Ryans' was well under way. She turned on all the lights, let our dogs out into the backyard and brought them back in a gain, and kept the volume up on the TV. Then, at bedtime, she shut the place down.
On his father's alcoholism and subsequent death:
While he certainly tried to fight it, my dad's addiction eventually won out. Over time, it made him more distant, irritable, and stressed. Before I lost him to a heart attack, whiskey had washed away some of the best parts of the man I knew. … My father had died. My mom was alone. My siblings were grown and gone. And I remember thinking, What am I going to do? I decided right then and there that I needed to step up. The way I thought about it was "sink or swim," and I decided I was going to swim like hell. I wouldn't wallow. I wouldn't let the sadness and self-pity pull me down.
