[b]28/03/2015 We finally arrived in Antarctica after sailing through the oddly calm Drake Passage for two full days. Woken up early by our expedition leader Anna at 06:30, I quickly got dressed to head out on deck as we were navigating through the famous Lemaire Channel. The narrow wide channel is a famous stop for tours to the Antarctic Peninsula and despite the bitter cold in the morning, I could not help but staying outside to soak in the majestic sights around me while the sun desperately tried to break through the thick layer of clouds around us.[/b]
The sky on our path through the Drake Passage during the last two days was mostly dominated by a thick layer of clouds, making us doubt a bit if we would ever really see anything. In fact, going to Antarctica at the end of March is a bit risky in terms of the weather. You might not see a lot, you might also be stuck in ice and the wild life could hide from you as well. The clouds were still present when we arrived in the Lemaire Channel, but everyone was heading out to deck anyway despite the extremely low morning temperatures around 07:00 AM. About an hour later, the sun actually peaked out for the first time and turned the scenery into incredible orange colors. Snow and Ice covered peaks could be seen all around us and it was our first real sight on Antarctica, a moment that will stick in my memory for the rest of my life for sure. Slowly loosing the feeling in my hands, it was time to get out of the cold and warm up during the nice breakfast buffet.
Finishing the breakfast, we had to change into our zodiac gear for the first time as our first landing to Pourquoi Pas harbour was up! Most of the other people on board looked like they would climb Everest, being completely covered in at least three layers of clothes. Myself, on the other side, just equipped with my light weight trekking gear lead me to believe that it could get a bit cold out there. At least I had three layers of socks to keep my feet warm while wearing the gummy boots they provided. Those would need to be cleaned before and after each zodiac landing as well, making sure that no bacteria would be put on Antarctica. Everyone was ready to go in their complete outfit, including a life west as well, when Anna suddenly made the announcement that our first zodiac landing would have to be cancelled. The weather did not permit a landing and there was too much ice to guarantee a safe trip in the boats. Disappointed, we went back to our cabins to change into normal clothing again – waiting for lunch to be served.
After we filled up our bellies once again, we would finally be able to get out in the zodiacs on our second attempt. The crew prepared three locations for us and we were split up in groups to reach them. My first stop was Wordie House, a shelter that was used by the brits during the second world war. Part of the hut was originally built by James Wordie, a member of Ernest Shackleton's Endurance expedition in 1921. Inside, we could see original items from that time while outside, the penguins were curiously awaiting us. Antarctica boasts different kinds of penguins and the ones here were Gentoos. Just observing their quest of either standing around or getting from A to B was pure entertainment on it's own and never really gets boring. We also had seals hanging out, some of them which needed to be observed from a safe distance. Our crew members would make sure that none of the tourists would get too close.
Up next, the zodiac was waiting for us and ready to drop us off around the corner at the Ukrainian station Vernadsky. Handed over from the brits to Ukraine in 1996, the station is populated with a few scientists, engaged in research about the High Atmosphere and the Ozone Layer, as well as biologists working on mosses, skuas and the underwater plants and plankton. They also have a bar in there and it seemed to be a ritual from female visitors to leave their bra's there. Very interesting. The most southern souvenir shop in the world rounds up the package and we were headed back into the cold to the waiting zodiac boats.
On our way back, the crew brought us close to some ice bergs floating around in the area. I was familiar with oddly shaped ice bergs from my trip to Greenland, but seeing them in Antarctica was a bit more special. Unfortunately, the weather was not optimal this day and some sun light would have made the experience even better. We would still have some time here though and for now, I was really happy with what we saw. The zodiac returned us to the M/V Ushuaia at 5:30 PM and while we enjoyed our afternoon snacks, the captain navigated us out of the Argentine Islands again.
I really enjoyed the times in between our activities as well. Just hanging out in the lounge, reading a book (or playing settlers II in my case) or attempting a round of chess was a really nice contrast program of watching the incredible scenery around us. I actually spent most of the time for the latter and would not really care how cold it was outside, but just like the rest, I would have to eventually retreat in the nice heated lounge or my cabin again to warm up. We had a nice mix of interesting people on board as well, mostly aged above 40 but also with a few "youngsters" like me. I quickly made friends with a few Germans and we would spent most of the meals together. Talking about the meals, I have to say they were absolutely delicious and I could get as much as I wanted. Happy to have recovered from my upset stomach, I was now making full use of all those meals and fruits provided while wondering what the next day would have in store for us.

Very nice. Man you are an intrepid traveler, Greenland and now the Antarctic. We did have midnight sun once in the Baltic in June but we are a bit more "cushy" travelers shall I say. It was on the Star Princess. Actually we had a very memorable experience then. early on in the cruise we were up around 0130 and were having a drink at the bar (Skywalkers) on the 16th deck astern look out at the wake and on the horizon you could see what looked like night transitioning to day. It seemed like there was a separation between twilight and daytime.

4th part:
[url="https://chrisontour84.wordpress.com/2015/09/20/live-74-paradise-bay-antarctica/"][b]Live #74, Paradise Bay, Antarctica[/b][/url]
[b]29/03/2015 Perfect weather conditions allowed us to enjoy the breathtaking landscapes at Dorian Bay and Neumayer Channel. So far, we had only visited islands and were now very close of setting foot on the actual continental landmass of Antarctica for the first time. Thick sea ice blocked our entry point at Neko Harbour though and forced the captain to find another spot for us to land on what would become the seventh continent for some of the passengers. Missing Australia, it was just the sixth for me personally [/b]
Although it was not possible to get to our original landing point at Neko Harbour, none of us was unhappy with the alternative that the captain provided instead: Paradise Bay! Just hearing the name, one would actually not be suprised if it would be the superior location. And in fact, it was a great one. Not only was the entrance into the bay fabulous, but we would also have some very spectacular glaciers nearby too. My first stop was the Argentinean Station called Brown. Gentoo penguins would watch us as we stepped on the continent of Antarctica for the first time. The weather was still perfect as we were climbing up a viewpoint in the thick snow. It was actually really pleasant to be here out of season, the snow completely untouched and just sharing the amazing landscape with the ~80 tourists on our ship.
Once we made it to the top, several groups started to build snowmans. The russians also used the steep slope to roll down of it. I am pretty sure they were still a little bit drunk, I never saw them not drinking on board the ship! Another very interesting interacting happened right next to me: A guy kneed down in the snow in front of his girlfriend to offer his engagement ring. It was literally a pretty cool spot to propose Most of the wild life concentrated down at the Brown station though and as usual, the penguins provided our daily portion of entertainment. The sun would slowly disappeared behind the clouds while we were waiting for our Zodiacs to bring us to our last location of the day.
And it was a pretty good one! Passing by some cliffs with nesting birds and a lot of bird poo on the way, we reached a really nice glacier and got very close. The clouds dominated the sky now, but just when my zodiac reached the glacier, it actually peaked out and the light was shining just on a tiny roughly 3 meter long spot at the edge of the glacier, such a cool sight! It looked as if someone from up above wanted to point something out. However, we could not see anything other than ice and soon after had to retreat again, cruising along the ice bergs on the way back. My hands started to get really really cold very fast after taking all the pictures, forcing me to shut off my camera and warm up my hands in the pockets. It turned out to be a bad timing, because just 20 seconds later, a huge portion of the glacier calved off into a newly born ice berg, creating a wave that lifted up our zodiac boat.
Getting closer to the U/V Ushuaia, I could not believe my nose but the crew actually set up a huge outside BBQ on the deck of the ship with the wind pushing the smell towards us on sea! I spent a good amount of time in Argentina already and knew exactly how good their asado was, so I could not wait to get back and receive the first Choripán as an appetizer for the upcoming steaks for dinner Talking about the ship, there was one question I received regarding sea sickness. Most of the people actually took some pills and some of them still got sick. I had no problems at all without taking anything, actually I never got sea sick in my life! But the ship was indeed moving quiet a lot at times and you had to make sure to hold on to the railways and be a bit careful while using the doors to get outside – some people actually injured themselves with those before. Nothing happened in our trip so far though and after this great day in sunny weather, everyone was happy and filled up with lot's of meat from the asado before getting back to their cabins. We would have two more fulls days to explore Antarctica before it was time to head back home again through the Drake Passage.

Live #75, Cuverville Island, Foyn Harbour, Antarctica
[b]30/03/2015 Day 6 on Antarctica started early again at 06:30 with a delicious breakfast. We would have our coldest day so far and be surrounded by at least 20 whales while attempting to strike another landing at Cuverville Island.[/b]
After a lot of blue sky and sunshine in the last days, we were now surrounded by a thick layer of low hanging clouds, covering the icy peaks around us in mysteriously looking fog. I really loved the atmosphere and it was a great contrast to the previous days. We could also spot some humpback whales in the distance, occasionally pressing out water through their blow hole, but sadly never really appearing over the surface. It was freezing cold this morning and thoughts of staying in the warm bed rather than waiting for the Zodiac to venture out into the cold Antarctic Ice were present, but obviously, never really pursued. On the beach, the Expedition Team briefed us on the main attractions to be taken that morning: One to walk north to overlook the entrance to the Errera and see the busy Gentoo rookeries there and then another at the opposite end of the beach to overlook icebergs and more penguins.

31/03/2015 We arrived at the South Shetland Islands on the last day in March and also the last of our Expedition to Antarctica. After navigating into Deception Island, a caldera of an active volcano, we visited Whalers Bay and explored the remains of an old whaling station before rounding the trip off at Half Moon Bay and it's colony of Chinstrap penguins.

Live #77, Crossing Drake Passage, Antarctica
01/04/2015 "All good things must come to an end." a wise man once said, and so did our trip to Antarctica. We only spent a couple of days in that remote and magnificent place, but it felt like a much longer time. We saw breathtaking, ice-covered landscapes and a lot of wild life and now it was time to head back "home" towards Ushuaia, crossing the Drake Passage one more time to reach the mainland of South America again.

Push Button Marketer Review
Publisher: Push Button Internet Marketing Software
Website URL: http://www.mypushbuttonwealth.com/
Review Of The Push Button Marketer – Automates all of the internet marketing tasks
This Push Button Marketer software uses "macros" to handle the daily tasks such as email, customer support, and site management.
Macros is basically a script that automatically does something for you in stead of you having to do it on your computer.
It is a shortcut.
There are also some great added features to Push Button Marketer, including tools that help you automate the process of daily tasks like email, writing content, building websites, and so much more.
Now I know you might find this too good to be true, as I did at first.
I decided to try Push Button Marketer for myself. I found a huge number of different ways to save myself time and money. The Push Button Marketer software is 4 modules. Each one building on each other to break down the process and start creating, running, and helping grow your on-line affiliate marketing business.
This Push Button Marketer program unlike others I have used in the past, not only gives you a step by step process to become successful but will help you along the way without leaving you alone to fend for yourself.
The first Module will show you how to save time and money with a great number of shortcuts for all of your daily work.
The second module is the blueprint in pdf that explains every last detail of the complete program. Module three is a great set of training videos to walk you through the process.
The fourth module shows you even more ways to use this exciting program to automate your on-line affiliate marketing business.
To sum it all up the Push Button Marketer software including the user manual, 14 training videos,and the blueprint pdf is in my words awesome.
I was very happy with the Push Button Marketer product and detailed instructions that helped me with my websites.
I recommend that you go ahead and purchase a copy for yorself to kickstart your online bussiness.

Johnny Depp: From terrible salesman to international superstar!
'Try, try till you succeed' sounds like such a terrible cliché, but it's been the mantra for many a man. Case in point: Johnny Depp. We've been keeling over with laughter while visualising this, ever since the star confessed he used to be a telemarketer — selling pens to strangers over the phone — and he was terrible at it! By his own admission, Depp tried out several jobs before finding fame as an actor, but none worse than telemarketing pens. In his inimitable style, Depp recounts this chapter of his colourful life: "I marketed pens — on the phone. But the beauty of the gig was that you had to call these strangers and say, 'Hi, how ya doing?' You made up a name, like, 'Hey, it's Edward Quartermaine from California. You're eligible to receive this grand-father clock or a trip to Tahiti.' You promise them all these things if they buy a gross of pens. It was just awful. But I actually think that was the first experience I had with acting." Johnny (being good) felt so bad about short-changing his customers that, after the only sale he managed to make, he pleaded with the man to back out! "I sold one thing… to one guy. And then he was asking me about the trip to Tahiti and I was riddled with guilt, so I told him, 'Hey, man, you don't want these f**king pens. This is a scam. The grandfather clock is made of pressboard. You're not going to Tahiti. I'm sorry.' So I talked him out of it."
From selling pens (and working as a mechanic) to starring in 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' Depp has certainly come a long way. To quote another cliché, maybe honesty did prove to be the best policy for this brilliant bloke.

On this note is it true that man made structure must be less than 2000 ft tall. I heard a guy mention on Discovery channel that this restriction applied to communication towers and was imposed by the FCC and FAA, does this apply to building too?
|Quoting Gunsontheroof (Reply 15):
There are currently seven structures in the world (built or planned) that are over 2,000 feet tall, so no.
|Quoting UALPHLCS (Reply 17):
My guess is that 2000 feet tall marks the point were the srtucture's height begins to have problems that make it more impractical to build.
For example: Frank Lloyd Wright designed a Mile high tower for Chicago. He abandondoned the idea becasue at a certain point the building would need to be pressurized. Likewise the Elevators. How do you pressurize a mile long elevator shaft? Heat on the upperfloors is year round while the lower floors need air conditioning and heat.
In other words at a certain point the logistics of Super tall buildings becomes impractical, and uneconomical. If that hieght at this time is 2000 ft it would not surprise me. Structures closing in on the 2000 mark have only done so with decorative spires.
For Example, to the best of my knowlege the Sears Tower remains the tallest building in terms of floors at 110. The only buildings to beat it have done so with spires, as this freedom tower will do, as the drawing above shows the actual floor space is no higher than the original twin towers its the spire that keeps going.

A good observation my friend Matt D brought up the last time this topic showed up; if the terrorist destroyed the Effel Tower in Paris, the French would have it rebuild the same within 12 months.
|Quoting ORFflyer (Reply 26):
I think Superfly is correct. They should be rebuild exactly as they were. Although with the latest in building technology.
I do like the picture posted by Mir in reply 24 however.
|Quoting UALPHLCS (Reply 27):
I can't see why they can't simply shift the foot prints around the original foot prints. But then again Im not that familiar with the shape of the whole site.
|Quoting Mir (Reply 28):
The only things that are fixed in there are the footprints and the rail terminal. Even the streets inside the area are planned only. So it could easily be done - take away one other tower and build a second big one. Perhaps swap the Freedom tower (renamed, of course) with the Arts Center, and then build the second one where Tower 3 is.
|Quoting STT757 (Reply 29):
Construction started on the Freedom tower yesterday, everything is set with the plan.
|Quoting Mir (Reply 28):
The only things that are fixed in there are the footprints and the rail terminal.
|Quoting Mir (Reply 30):
I know. I'm just saying that with the current state of things, they could (and should, IMHO) amend the plan to include two big towers instead of one without have to undo much of anything.
|Quoting Superfly (Reply 21):
Anyhow, the terrorist have won
|Quoting Garri767 (Reply 34):
How the freaking heck does this mean the terrorists have won?
|Quoting Superfly (Reply 36):
Look at the Manhattan skyline.
Look at the Manhattan skyline 10 years from now.
Look at the Manhattan skyline 20 years from now.
Look at the Manhattan skyline 30 years from now.
The terrorists have changed the Manhattan skyline forever!
|Quoting UALPHLCS (Reply 37):
I dont think you can look at it that way.
Terrorists have altered the way the airline industry works over the past 40 years. With all the various security measures in place.
Terrorists have changes the way the majority of US citizens think about their place in the World. We are no longer complacent that vast oceans will keep the bastards at bay. There is a decided pre and post 9-11 mentality.
However, some fundemental things have not changed. The US, despite terrorism's best efforts, still has the most dynamic conomy in the world. That is why they hit the WTC to try and cripple Wall Street and damage our economy. It failed. We have the means and the ability to not only defend ourselves and allies by attack those who attack us. Which they tried to damage by hiting the Pentagon. And the American people have the will to fight back themselves, and not sit idlly by while these things happen in the world. The passengers and crew of Flight 93 have proven that.
No I fundementally disagree, Superfly. They can knock down buildings, and destroy things and hurt people. But what makes us strong, what makes us the shining city on the hill, that immagrants keep coming here to be a part of, is untouched. They can never touch that.
The WTC and Pentagon were just symbols, and they thought damamging or destroying symbols would weaken us. But what those symbols stood for, can be touched by them and we can make new symbols. So they haven't won.
The only ones who can destroy us, are ourselves. If we stop living by the Constitution, and that just isn't going to happen.
|Quoting Superfly (Reply 40):
Duh, we all know that.
I was only talking about the Manhattan skyline.
|Quoting Superfly (Reply 40):
Thanks for your patriotic soliloquy.
Now I feel like lighting some fireworks
|Quoting UALPHLCS (Reply 31):
Thank you for the map. It confirms my suspicion that my idea wouldn't work. My thought would be to have the new twin towers right next to the foot prints of the old towers, just shifted so that the diagonal would be oposite the old layout.
|Quoting PHLBOS (Reply 43):
Actually, Trumps's design had the rebuilt towers adjacent to the location of the original towers; the latter would serve as 2 memorials encased with a 7-to-9-story facade of the original towers.
|Quoting UALPHLCS (Reply 44):
I never liked the fascade of the original towers. Comparing them to other New York landmarks, The Empire State, Chrysler and Woolworth buildings the Towers were rather bland and soulless.
|Quoting Superfly (Reply 44):
BTW, how come the destroyed section of the Pentagon has been rebuild exactly the same?
|Quoting Flight152 (Reply 46):
On the same note, has anyone found pictures of the rebuilt section of the Pentagon? I'm assuming it's about finished by now..
|Quoting Superfly (Reply 44):
I liked the Twin Towers better than the Empire State, Chrysler and Woolworth buildings. Architectural pundits don't appreciate 1960s and 1970s architecture but I do. Other buildings I admire are the Sears Tower and Standard Oil Buildings (I refuse to call it Ion Center).

On the radio the other day the new announcer indicated that the TSA has released the previously closely guarded information the in the past 78% of the test cases used (knives, guns, explosives etc) were failures. The weapons got on board the plane.
Some airports had a 0% success rate.
My question to the community is this; do these figures change any attitudes that the new scanners and/or searches are vastly intrusive and not to be tolerated? Those figures are pretty scary.
I think everyone walking on to a plane should be given a handgun, which they have to return when disembarking. That should speed things up a little and even out the odds.
Well, if you change that to a sleepy dart gun, I might even agree.
Fuselage holes do not sound like a good thing, nor does a deadly weapon in the hands of panicked people not knowing how to use one.
The idea has merit, though!
If after a while the TSA employees got "bored" with looking at normal x-ray machines, who's to say they won't get "bored" with back scatter and pat downs? The problem is NOT technology. The problem is with personnel.
Casino's had a similar problem. Their solution? Hire more people. They no longer allow workers to spend long hours on a job that requires 100% attention to detail 100% of the time. So, they hire more people, work them for 2hrs and give them a 30 minute break. I'ts probably the better solution.
I think they should get rid of the TSA and hand out that responsibility to private contractors. They'll probably do a better job.
I'm not sure I'm happy with the prospect of a private police force. Particularly "protecting" our air space - bribery and corruption is too common.
A lot of airports already use contractors, you have to abide by TSA rules, but you don't need to use TSA empoyees. Either way the jobs are demanding and low pauid, so it is hard to keep people in them.
I'm fond of this story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4069785.stm
They tested security with a small amount of explosive, which they caught and then subsequently lost and shipped somewhere.
I don't have a problem with the new security measures. I'd be interested to see how these statistics change in places that have the new technology/protocols.
Of course, most of the value of the TSA is psychological and it's more difficult to evaluate it. A slightly unbalanced person who might take a weapon on a plane won't because he's afraid of getting caught going through security. A terrorist cell is less likely to try something because there's a chance that one of their agents will be compromised and their operation will be shot.
If security is so poor, why haven't we had more incidents? I'm reasonably sure it's not because we're running short on people who are interested in doing us harm.

Most of this page is dedicated to "why and why not" carry certain pieces of gear.
A Vietnam tour does not require a lot of travel gear. You're traveling, not trekking or camping. You are traveling to the tropics, unless you plan on heading into the mountains northwest of Hanoi – Sapa, Lao Cai and Dien Bien Phu. These areas can get a bit chilly during winter months. With these exceptions, Vietnam is warm or hot, and wet or dry.
Most experienced travelers limit themselves to a carry-on size bag and day pack. Most airlines limit the Length + Width + Height dimensions of carry-on bags to 45 inches or 115 centimeters. If you observe the requirements of the TSA when packing your travel gear and use a carry-on size bag you don't have to check your bag. NO LUGGAGE LOST BY AIRLINES!!
Carry-on bags with the capability to be carried backpack style or suitcase style with an optional shoulder strap are favorites. Wheels or no-wheels? Wheels and the supporting frame with the telescoping handle add weight. Some places do not favor the use of a wheeled bag – unpaved streets and cobblestones are a hindrance. It's a matter of personal choice for the most part.
Day packs should be no larger than a large purse (1000 cubic inches +/-). No big technical considerations needed here.
Use a Money Belt to secure your currency.
A light weight travel vest is another handy item. Secure pockets for a camera, travel guide, rain gear, a flashlight, and other bulky items that won't fit in a shirt pocket. You can put a lot of "stuff" in those vest pockets and a vest doesn't count as carry-on baggage. Do not carry important documents in your vest. Keep them close to your body.
Here is some suggested travel gear to carry on a trip to Vietnam, keeping in mind you can buy just about anything personal you need there. What is in limited supply? Electronics, cameras, and computer equipment.
So, bring your own electronics. A good digital 5 – 7 Mega pixel digital camera will record your trip. If your camera uses a proprietary charging system you will need an adapter for Vietnam. I recommend a camera that uses standard over the counter AA batteries. Some cameras will drain standard AA batteries quickly. You may want to invest in the type specially made for electronics. Be sure your camera takes good landscape photographs. Have a backup memory device for your camera. Consider a 2nd camera.
Most hotels that cater to foreigners have WiFi available. An iPad, other tablet or laptop might be useful. Internet cafes abound through-out Vietnam. The Vietnamese are very computer savvy.
Use Skype for long distance calls. Skype – The whole world can talk for FREE!
Maybe an iPod type device if you can't let resist.
What clothing should you bring?
3 changes of lightweight and quick dry travel type clothing are adequate. Maybe extra socks. Be aware of the dangers of sunburn. Please dress conservatively. Unless absolutely necessary avoid shorts, tank tops and sleeveless T-shirts. Zip-off pants are a popular substitute for shorts. Dress to impress if you must go to a government office. Never wear shorts, dresses or skirts, or tops with low-neck lines and bare shoulders to Temples and Pagodas. To do this is considered extremely rude and offensive. All hotels provide laundry service – overnight and reasonably priced.
Don't travel with anything needing dry-cleaning.
If you're going to Sapa in the winter you might want to bring a base layer of cool weather clothing. Check the weather report.
Rain gear is always needed. A backpacker poncho will keep both you and your gear dry in a downpour. The open sides allow for air circulation in hot weather. In the tropics you can end up just as wet from condensation inside your rain gear as from the rain. A poncho can be used as a curtain, sun shade or you can lie on it in an airport without good benches.
A hat that offers rain and sun protection.
Swimsuit? Unless you're fashion conscious or plan on a lot of time at the beach – shorts for males and add a T-shirt for females.
Footwear – Consider your activity – Hiking, climbing, motorbike riding? I discourage the use of open toed sandals. If you cut your foot in the tropics, there are medical problems that the old fashioned tetanus shot isn't going to help. Look for well constructed mesh shoes that double for light weight hiking shoes (w/ a toe protector) and shower "flip flops."
Day Pack Contents – Flashlight, alarm clock, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent (DEET), personal first aid kit, personal toiletries and, as mentioned before, an electrical adapter – the electrical power supply in Vietnam is 220Volts AC @ 50 Hertz. A roll of toilet paper in a plastic bag.
TRIVIA: The whole "Kit and Caboodle." Your Kit is your carry-on bag, backpack, day pack, travel vest or suitcase. Your Caboodle (stuff) is what you put in your Kit.
I hope my experience and research will save you some time and energy in looking for good "stuff."
Good travel gear sources are REI, eBags and eBay.

Dear people who know the Paris resto scene, could you please advise on some picks to eat for our trip?
So far we booked a table at KGB, Spring, Regalade St Honore. We'll go into China Town, and maybe some classic brasserie like Flo (is there one in that empire especially good?).
Now, which other restaurant would be a good pick: Yam'Tcha, Sola, or some other one?
Other question: what is the difference between KBG and Ze Kitchen Gallery?
Someone recommended Georges at Centre Pompidou - it makes me feel more like a spot for view and tourists than for good food - would would be your take on this?
Thank you!

After a long Nova Scotia winter of playing hockey, Lauchie convinces his mother to let him fish lobster for the summer with a close family friend. One day out on the lobster boat, Lauchie pulls up a trap that holds a very old, carefully sealed containera gift from the sea. In the crock he finds an antique pistol, a letter dated 1608 from a Scots doctor whose ship sank in a storm, and a map describing where to find gold and silver coins salvaged from the ship. What ensues is a dangerous quest into a hidden cave tucked into a coastal cliff. Suspenseful and riveting, Lauchie's adventure is also a journey of self-discovery on which he learns valuable lessons about himself and his community.
Lauchie's father died at sea, so it took some convincing to get his mother to let him and his best friend spend the summer lobster fishing. Both boys were looking forward to a summer of excitement and adventure, but both got more than they had counted on. While pulling up lobster traps, instead of lobsters, Lauchie finds a very old, sealed crock. When he and his friend open it, they find a flintlock pistol and a letter giving directions to a treasure of gold coins. Being typical boys, they can think of nothing else but to find the treasure, never thinking that there might be dangers along the way. While following the map of the treasure, the boys come to a hidden cave, which nearly takes their lives when part of the cave collapses. This was a situation neither had thought of ever happening. I'll leave it there so as not to give the ending away. Throughout the story, the author gives much detail and information about the people who live on Cape Breton Island and uses fishing vocabulary that adds interest and gives the story authenticity. This adventure is like a rite of passage for thirteen-year-old Lauchie as he learns valuables lessons and information about himself and for the first time, begins to understand who he is as a person. 2003, Clarion Books, Ages 10 to 14.

The first two companies that I purchased were Apple (AAPL) and Disney (DIS). Two pretty solid companies that have the potential for great dividend growth over the next few years. Disney probably has a more viable long term plan than Apple since Disney doesn't require constant innovation, but I wanted a bit of exposure to Apple even though it's not one of the typical companies I purchase. I personally don't understand the draw of the Apple products but people are hooked on them. Plus the ecosystem is pretty amazing.

Congratulations on taking the plunge JC. I look forward to seeing how your Loyal3 experience turns out. I find Loyal3 curious because I can't figure out how/if they make their money. Aside from the trades, there are also credit card processing charges assessed to merchants on all credit card transactions. Surely they have some interest in making a profit, or else they wouldn't be in business.ReplyDelete
Bryan, Loyal3 makes money in two different ways. Per their website: "LOYAL3 receives fees from companies that have a Social Stock Plan on our platform and will be compensated in its role in IPOs. For other stocks on our platform, LOYAL3 does not receive fees."Delete
JC, I'm a big fan of Loyal3 and have recently increased from $300 per month to $500 per month. A great way to get some rewards on purchases in a reasonably decent DG portfolio with money I'd invest with anyways. I always do the max $50 credit card transaction per holding I'm buying, with multiple transactions for a single stock if I want more than $50 worth for that purchase. I do not use the automated monthly option as I like to see how the markets are affecting the valuations of positions prior to putting in a buy order. While this isn't true market timing, some companies are better values than others at any given point, in any given month. The best part about the account is that you are essentially able to selectively reinvest your dividends once they've been received. Pretty awesome and why I'm a big fan of Loyal3.
And to answer your last question JC: If you want to buy more than $50 in a single transaction, you must utilize a linked checking/savings account or have the cash already in the Loyal3 account. Credit card transactions must be in $10, $25, or $50 amounts.Delete
Thanks for the heads up W2R. I knew you were up to date about Loyal3, because I've been reading about your own experiences on your site for months. Have a great weekend guys.Delete
Thanks for the info. I guess my plan will be to do more frequent one-time purchases once I want to commit more capital to Loyal3. Probably next month.
Now I don't know if this is for all companies but I know some of the companies that are on the platform the company covers the costs. Essentially this is a cheap way for the participating companies to have access to cash by selling some of the treasury stock on the books and not have to deal more expensive routes. It seems like Loyal3's income is solely from the IPO partnerships which does make it a bit riskier than a traditional brokerage. But I'll use it while I can as long as it makes sense. If they do away with the no fee investing then I'll be done though.
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice grabs, PIP. I've found that I just simply put through one-time purchases in the $25 or $50 increment instead of setting up monthly plans. I believe you can only do it once a month currently with a monthly-set up. I have, since starting a couple weeks ago, put through a couple $50 buys within a day of each other - and think I may have done two in the same day. I'm okay with this, as it actually provides a little bit more control than a one-time monthly purchase.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm thinking setting up multiple one time purchases for the positions that I want to build up is going to be the best route, especially since this is a long-term plan.
Thanks for stopping by!
Congrats on a new account. I looked at some options myself (Loyal 3, Sharebuilder and Motif Investing) to add one in addition to the Scottrade account that I currently have. I plan to decide sometime pretty soon with the new account.ReplyDelete
Let us know what you decide. I think the next account that I'll eventually open up is going to be a more traditional brokerage. Possibly Scottrade or one of the cheaper ones, I think OptionsHouse is only like $4.95. I know there's one somewhere that does that.
Thanks for stopping by!
Seems that more and more ppl are using Loyal 3. It's still not clear to me whether us Canadians can use Loyal 3 or not. I need to spend some time investigate this potential.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hopefully y'all can use Loyal3 because I think it's a great option for those with smaller amounts to invest or if you're looking to DCA into a few positions.
Thanks for stopping by!
I've been using Loyal3 since the beginning of this year and really like it. Makes it easy to still invest on months where I don't have enough to make a normal position sized purchase in my brokerage account.ReplyDelete
In response to buying more than $50 at a time with a credit card, you can simply make multiple purchases back to back. Just wait about a minute or so in between purchases so the system recognizes that it is a new order. I got this info from talking to a customer service rep through their online chat and have been doing it the last couple months. Back to back orders like this will process on the same day at the same share prices, so its just like one big order. Hope this helps!
I've been looking for a way to DCA into some positions without setting up lots of individual stock purchase plans and Loyal3 seems like one of the better options. Motif still intrigues me though.
Interesting to find out about the back to back orders. Although as a DCA method I'll probably just focus on purchasing a little bit every week in a few select companies. I'm just getting my feet wet but I really like this and could easily see myself investing $500-1000 per month through Loyal3. Well at least until the positions get to a certain level.
Thanks for stopping by!
So far I've liked Loyal3 a lot. As long as you are not worried about a precise share price, it is convenient. Interesting to hear from SFZ you can buy shares back to back with a credit card. As I've suggested before, the credit card rewards churners must have caught on this this and abused the CC system. Knowing that fees are 2-3%, my guess is CCs won't last on this platform. Maybe it's a loss leader for them. I would also like to see more than one automated purchase per month. I prefer to make 2 $50 purchases every 15 days instead of $100 every 30 days. Nice choices you've chosen there. I'd like to add some more slow drips and buy over the next few years.
I wish you could set up multiple purchases of the same company each month but at least you can do multiple one time purchases. Loyal3 seems like a great option if it remains the same. Now they just need to get a few more DG companies added to the mix.
Thanks for stopping by!
Remember Madoff? People gave him all of their money, in many cases. And lost them. For the same reason you mentioned and for the same reasons or jeopardy one broker can be to your money I hold my investments across several brokers. I have an account with Fidelity, Scotttrade, and Motif Investing - besides my accounts with TD Ameritrade.ReplyDelete
It may feel like shattering your purchasing power, but I think it is a needed thing to do to protect yourself.
I know Loyal3 and I like that they allow you to use credit card to fund your account and you can trade fractions. What I do not like is that their selection of stocks available to purchase from them is limited.Replies
While I don't think we'll have a Madoff situation with any of the major brokerages, hedging your bets is still a good idea. I hope that Loyal3 does get more big name companies on their list. That's really my only gripe about Loyal3, but there's definitely no complaints about a no fee investment option.
Thanks for stopping by!
When ever I get my portfolio up to about $100,000 I plan to open a second account. FDIC insurance on cash balances is $250,000. Once it reaches 100,000 it'll sit for awhile so I'd like the account to have breathing room to that 250,000 cap assuming I cashed it out.ReplyDelete
- ParatrooperJJAugust 21, 2014 at 1:31 PM
Generally FDIC insurance doesn't come into play with brokerage accounts.....Delete
Right FDIC insurance wouldn't help in this situation. What you need to make sure is that your brokerage has SIPC insurance. It works in much the same way as FDIC insurance but it's very different. SIPC covers in the event of a failure at the brokerage but doesn't cover stock market losses. In most situations your shares will be transferred "in kind" to another brokerage firm if yours happens to go under. "In kind" means that the cost basis wouldn't be stepped up to the cost basis at transfer so you'd keep your original cost basis.Delete

DUBAI, March 7 (Reuters) - Dubai's port operator DP World Limited has agreed to sell stakes in two container terminals and a logistics centre in Hong Kong for a total consideration of $742 million, it said in a statement on Thursday.
The company will sell 75 percent of its stakes in container terminals CSX World Terminals Hong Kong Limited and ATL Logistics Centre Hong Kong Limited (ATL) to Goodman Hong Kong Logistics Fund for $463 million, it said in a statement on the Nasdaq Dubai website.
DP World is also selling all its 55.2 percent stake in Asia Container Terminal Ltd, which operates Asia Container Terminal 8 West (CT8), to Hutchison Port Holdings Trust for $279 million.
The asset disposals are expected to result in a net gain of $151 million for DP World and help boost its capital levels, the port operator said.

In his first news conference as NBA commissioner, Adam Silver touched on a wide range of topics on Saturday. One of the big subjects was the possibility of raising the age limit to be drafted from 19 to 20.
"It is my belief that if players have an opportunity to mature as players and as people, for a longer amount of time before they come into the league, it will lead to a better league," he said. "And I know from a competitive standpoint that's something as I travel the league I increasingly hear from our coaches, especially, who feel that many of even the top players in the league could use more time to develop even as leaders as part of college programs."
Furthermore, Silver touched on things like whether he thinks teams are tanking for the draft, possibly extending the All-Star break to give players some added rest, the salary cap and expanding the league.
Silver also mentioned some changes to the All-Star Weekend that we will see next season in the New York City.
"Several members of the Knicks and Nets are in town studying everything that they're doing here in New Orleans," Silver said. "One of the ideas we have talked about, and it's consistent with a focus on the game, is to expand the All-Star experience to all five boroughs through programs for kids, a series of clinics throughout the New York area.
"As opposed to one focused Jam Session, taking the game to the schools and having a program involving coaches and kids leading up to All-Star Weekend, that's one of my primary focuses."

One of the primary problems in education today is expectations. The expectations of what parents expect from their child's school…and the expectations that schools have for their students and their parents. School and home working together can be a very positive and powerful force. School and home misunderstanding each other, misinterpreting the other, or acting like they are in conflict in front of children can also be one of the most negative things that can happen to a child. Both the school and the parents have an obligation to reach out and make sure that doesn't happen. They have the obligation to communicate honestly without recrimination or negative attitudes. Children watch what their parents, teachers and principals do and say and how they act to and react to each other. Teaching a child truly does begin with our actions as educators and parents. Actions indeed DO speak louder than words. Get to know your child's school, their teachers and get involved. There is no easy way to insure the best educational opportunities for your child.
Yes,communication is necessary and useful-sometimes. As an educator, nothing makes me crazier than a parent who contacts me about information that I have already sent home!
I also wish my parents understood that I don't have all the time in the world to discuss their child. They may have one or two children. I often have 60 a semester.
I do appreciate it when parents let me know that their child is having a hard time emotionally. Then I can make adjustments to assignments. I don't have to know the family's entire history or any particular details. Just let me know that your child is feeling stressed in my class in particular or having a tough time with some family issues.
I totally agree. Parents who come to school or talk to the teacher ONLY when there is a problem, aren't helping anyone. I was fortunate that my kids had good schools. And I'm glad my grandkids are homeschooled.

Labor Chief Hopefuls May Be Asked to Vow Not to Bolt if Defeated
The candidates so far are MKs Isaac Herzog, Amir Peretz and Shelly Yachimovich, as well as the chairman of the Union of Local Authorities in Israel, Shlomo Buhbut; former party chairman Amram Mitzna may also run.
Candidates for the Labor Party leadership are expected to be asked to sign an agreement that they will not bolt the party if they lose the primary.
Labor was burned in 2005 when Shimon Peres left the party a few weeks after he lost the chairmanship race to Amir Peretz. In January this year, Defense Minister Ehud Barak split from the party, taking four Labor MKs to form a new Knesset faction, Atzmaut.
The initiative is being led by the Labor Party's acting chairman, Micha Harish, and its secretary general, Hilik Bar.
"All the candidates will sign it. This agreement is an obvious need in light of the party's unpleasant experiences," Harish said. "Under no circumstances should candidates condition their remaining in the party on the outcome of the elections. The agreement will also create an obligation to the voters on the part of the candidates."
The idea for the agreement came up during preparations for the primary, due in September.
The candidates so far are MKs Isaac Herzog, Amir Peretz and Shelly Yachimovich, as well as the chairman of the Union of Local Authorities in Israel, Shlomo Buhbut.
But suspense has increased among the grassroots over the past few days: former Labor Chairman Amram Mitzna might throw his hat in the ring.
Mitzna says he has not yet decided whether to run, but he will decide by May to have a few weeks to sign up new Labor Party members to support him, should he run.
Jerusalem businessman Erel Margalit is reportedly also considering running. His membership drive is expected to end in June, when party membership rolls will be closed. Everyone on the rolls will be entitled to vote in the primary.
Mitzna, who is widely admired, could change the face of the race. While Yachimovich and Herzog are leading in the polls, Mitzna is considered popular on the kibbutzim and in the big cities, where the two front-runners also have a following.
Yachimovich said yesterday it was too early to discuss Mitzna's possible candidacy. "But no doubt, the fact that there are many candidates for the party leadership shows that it's a party with a future and hope," she added. "While I'm sure I'm more suitable than anyone else under these circumstances to lead the party, that's not to say that other candidates are not worthy."
Herzog and Mitzna shook hands and exchanged greetings yesterday at the Ein Gev Festival.
The big mystery at the moment is how many new members each candidate has been able to sign up. The candidates are keeping these numbers confidential and will reveal them just before the closing of the membership rolls.
Herzog, Yachimovich and Peretz are conducting energetic membership drives. Yachimovich said yesterday she would set up stands in city centers throughout the country, following a reportedly successful drive Friday in 12 big cities. Yachimovich expects to be able to leverage her popularity in the polls and sign up more supporters.
Labor now has an estimated 30,000 members; that number is expected to double after the candidates sign up more members.

The Brazilian\'s strrike condemned Athletic to a eighth straight league defeat against the Catalan club - they have failed to even find the net in the last five meetings, although it wasn\'t for a lack of effort The league leaders in Spain now sit four points clear of second-placed Valencia in the table and are eight ahead of reigning champions Real Madrid, who now cannot afford any mistakes when they visit Girona on Sunday.

If Win7 on the SSD is not booting as C then you've done something wrong. It should have been specified as Auto for drive letter choice, mark 7 boot partition Active, include MBR and Track0 if those choices were offered. Which program did you use?
After correct transfer to the SSD, unplug all other Drives to see if Win7 will boot on its own. If not confirm Partition Marked Active to run Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times until Win7 boots on its own.

The group seeking to stave off efforts to open the Ochoco National Forest and surrounding mountains to an extensive trail system for off-road vehicles is pressing on despite divisive opposition that's apparently grown in recent weeks. Although the 845,000-acre national forest is already managed by federal agencies, a new proposed designation for 312,000 acres within it comes at a time of enhanced focus on the debate on turning over federal public lands to state and local governments to manage. When the Crook County Court on Thursday held a town hall on the proposal to add some wilderness designation and other protection to the Ochocos, the FBI was still trying to end an armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Eastern Oregon that has put attention on public land management. Sarah Cuddy, organizer for Oregon Wild's effort to get Congress to create the Ochoco Mountains National Recreation Area in Crook and Wheeler counties, said the armed standoff has created a noticeable shift in the environmental group's effort to find support in the community. "There was a change in tone in the conversation after the Malheur issues that started a few weeks ago," Cuddy said Friday. "The conversation has become just a lot more polarized and divisive." Several hundred people showed up to a meeting on the Ochoco national recreation area proposal Thursday night in Prineville, many of whom spoke against Oregon Wild's proposal, Bartlett said. The proposal would add around 25,000 acres of wilderness protection. It would freeze the trail system that's in place and prevent new trails for motorized users...more
Nice try, attempting to paint opponents of Wilderness as Bundy supporters. Doubt if it will work, but others should be prepared for this tactic.
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

As Caitrin Lynch explores the daily lives of elder factory workers who choose to remain economically productive long after "retirement," she challenges taken-for-granted assumptions about aging, work, and value in late life and helps us rethink what retirement can mean at a time when economic crises are threatening state and private pensions. Its mix of wise insight into big-picture themes and intimate portraits makes the book a truly engrossing and enlightening read. It will have a large impact and a wide audience, both lay and academic."—Sarah Lamb, Brandeis University, author of White Saris and Sweet Mangoes: Aging, Gender, and Body in North India

We have been recommending the ChefSteps Joule circulator as a Top Pick of ours since it came out. That was based on the specs, its performance in the benchmark tests, and Gary's hands on use of it (as shared in his initial Joule review).
Once the testing and initial reviews were done it went into my stack of circulators so I could also get some detailed hands-on testing with. It took me awhile to get to it since I was in the middle of recipe testing, but once I did, it's been my go-to circulator. Here's some of my thoughts on it.
