This morning, Michael Arrington, Om Malik and Paul Kedrosky (among many others) are taking potshots at Google (GOOG), triggered by Google Spreadsheets. They're right in as much as there has been a spate of yawners coming from Google recently, and Google Spreadsheets is the latest. Many of Google's "innovations" are starting to look like Microsoft's (MSFT) "fast follower" strategy of the last 30 years. Wait for someone to show the way, copy it, and market the snot out of it.
Building a substitute for Microsoft Office is a waste of time and investor dollars. Wordperfect Office and OpenOffice already exist, filling the cheap and the free segments of the office productivity marketplace well.  And the "network computer"? Just like Larry Ellison, the inventor of that cock-a-mamie idea, it's getting closer and closer to retirement all the time. When a 3 Ghz computer, with 100G of storage and 512M of memory, can be had for $400 (I bought one the other day at Staples), why do I need a network version of my software to run on my cheap diskless workstation again?
There may be a silver lining in this cloud, however, if Google and others can look beyond chasing Microsoft's tail lights. It's called
Web 2.0 the programmable web. Spreadsheets, to use today's example, are used for many many different things. They're used for calculations, modelling, accounting, database front ends, simple databases, formatting charts, and simple list making, to name just a few. What would the world look like if the vision of folks creating Web based spreadsheets was to create a great mash-up tool, rather than a substitute for a desktop productivity app? What if I could easily embed a calculation right in this post, by dragging a few cells from my spreadsheet into my edit window? What about easily creating front end forms for web based databases using a familiar spreadsheet metaphor? What about separating presentation from data, and allowing users to create their own UI metaphors, perhaps breaking the grid metaphor that has dominated spreadsheets since the invention of Visicalc?
These examples aren't even that innovative. I just haven't had my morning coffee yet.Â
Folks looking to build web based substitutes for office productivity applications are stuck in the same time warp that folks building VoIP "carriers" are stuck in today. They've discovered how to reduce their cost basis by building a product that uses the internet as its platform.   Some customers find that price differential significantly attractive enough to switch. Switching en-masse, however, isn't going to happen until someone provides a 10x improvement in value beyond what is currently available. Inertia is working against them, and in favor of the incumbents. That's the challenge.Â
If you can reinvent the office productivity suite, then you'll have my attention (not to mention the world's attention). Merely reproducing the office suite (whether on the web, or the desktop) is like watching midgets wrestle sumo champions — an interesting spectacle, but the outcome is already certain.

Oh man do I feel bad for you! I got into poison ivy about a month ago and I was never allergic to it before, so I didn't think that was what I had. I went to the doc and he said that's what it was and gave me something for it. I didn't even touch the stuff, I was just working next to it. I was miserable, itching at night, etc. So I totally know how awful you must be feeling. I sure hope you start to feel better. Mine was 1/2 gone the next day, so I was lucky.
Best of Luck,

Will Abadi Be A Reflection Of Maliki?
Nouri al-Maliki has lost his job, but it doesn't really matter
Iraq's president has nominated a replacement for Prime Minister Maliki, who is unpopular at home and abroad. But Iraq's problems go much deeper.
By Dan Murphy, Staff writer AUGUST 11, 2014
Does it matter that Nouri al-Maliki is apparently on his way out as Iraq's prime minister? Probably not very much.
That might be a surprising claim if you've been following much of the news coverage of Iraq's political turmoil.
Picture caption: Iraqi's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki speaks during an interview with Reuters in Baghdad in this January 12,2014 file photo – maliki indicated on august 10,2014, that he will not drop his bid for a third term and accused the President of violating the constitution in a tough televised speech likely to deepen political tensions as a Sunni insurgency rages.
Mr. Maliki's eight years as prime minister have been marked by growing authoritarianism, Shiite chauvinism towards the country's Sunni Arab minority, and the conversion of the national army into a plaything for the prime minister's friends and allies.
Maliki's chauvinism helped set the stage for the events of the past few months, in which the Sunni jihadi army of the so-called Islamic State seized substantial portions of territory, including the northern city of Mosul.
And that's true, as far is it goes.
But there's no particular reason to believe that Haider al-Abadi, the new prime minister-elect, will rule any different then Maliki, assuming that Maliki doesn't try to seize power for himself during the interim. Mr. Abadi is a senior member of Maliki's Shiite Islamist Dawa Party.
Like Maliki, his political life began in Dawa's underground insurgency against Saddam Hussein in the 1970s. Like Maliki, Abadi was an exile whose family members were among the many victims of Mr. Hussein.
Since the US decision to topple Hussein in 2003, he has been a powerful figure in various Shiite-dominated governments that followed. He's served in parliament since 2006, and for much of that time was a close adviser and confidant of Maliki's.
Maliki's rule in Iraq, while it outraged and frightened Sunni Arabs and Kurds, was generally pretty popular among Shiites. In April, the electoral block he leads actually improved on its 2010 parliamentary election performance, despite a surging death toll from Iraq's long-running civil war and the loss of control of much of Anbar Province, to the west of the capital.
So Maliki as prime minister represented a substantial Iraqi constituency, or perhaps better, reflected one. Abadi is now meant to be a reflection of that same constituency, which hasn't changed overnight. Why would he be much different?
Limits to PM's power
This isn't to argue that Maliki may as well stay on since it's inconceivable that a political answer to the country's complicated and blossoming crisis could emerge under his divisive leadership.
That Maliki needed to go appears to have become a rare point of consensus between two of Iraq's most important international backers – the US and Iran. And his own party had clearly had enough.
But finding a political answer to Iraq's crisis is just slightly less inconceivable without Maliki. And there's a limit to what any Iraqi prime minister can do at this point.
Even if Abadi turns out to be the sort of inclusive, wise, compromising Iraqi politician that President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry long for, repairing the damage will take years.
The collapse of the Iraqi army was a function of rot from within, a result of rampant corruption that started with the officer corps and trickled down.
Building a professional army is no easy thing, and certainly not a fast one. The US spent well over $20 billion training and equipping the new Iraqi army between 2003-2012. The result?
A rout in the north of Iraq in June in the face of an offensive by jihadis working in concert with officers and soldiers from the Saddam-era army that the US dissolved.
The jihadis are now wielding many of the weapons the US had provided to Iraq's army and tooling around in US provided Humvees.
No awakening in sight
President Obama appears to realize the extent of this problem, which is why the US has reportedly agreed to provide arms directly to the separatist-leaning army under Kurdish control in the north.
While Obama has been reluctant to do anything that could overtly encourage the break-up of Iraq, the Kurdish peshmerga seem a far better bet of slowing the spread of the Islamic State in northern Iraq at the moment.
Their resistance has created some humanitarian breathing room for the Christian and Yazidi communities that the jihadis had marked for death.
Yet the fundamental political problem now is one of zero trust. Sunni Arabs have been treated like beaten dogs in many parts of the country for a great many years now.
While Sunni Arab tribes turned on Al Qaeda in large numbers after 2006 in the so-called sahwa, or awakening, that was partly in exchange for promises of a chance at federalism, of opportunities for government jobs, and to find a dignified place in the new Iraq.

Although Abadi has become a political figure, his background is in Electrical Engineering. He is likely to be a methodical, project oriented leader, who would have the capacity to direct the rebuilding of Iraq. He is known for his ability to work with groups outside of his own party.

Section 2: A Policy Of Neutrality
Revolution in France
Many Americans Supported the French Revolution because they
knew what it felt like
to be ruled by a king.
Support for Revolution became divided because of the violent nature the Revolution takes.
King & Queen were beheaded
Reign of Terror- tens of thousands of French were killed.
Remaining Neutral
Other countries in Europe were afraid that revolutionary ideas would spread to their countries, so they sent armies to over power the revolutionaries.
A treaty made between America and France during the American Revolution allowed France to use American ports to supply ships, thus aiding their attack on the British. Allowing this action would officially end American Neutrality, so Washington denied France's request for acknowledgment of the treaty.
Both Hamilton and Jefferson disagreed what side America should support in regards to the fighting between France and Britain.
supported France
They were our allies during the Revolution
Britain was our enemies/always will be
supported Britain
They were valuable economic partners
Did not have to honor treaty because King Loius XVI was killed during the French Revolution.

It would be too costly
The Neutrality Act forbabe Americans from aiding Britain or France in anyway.
An Unpopular Treaty
Merchants who ignored the Neutrality Proclomation and traded with both Britain and France were at risk.
Britain ignoring the rights of neutral ships, seized over 250 American ships trading in the French West Indes. This angered Americans to the point where they called for war.
Washington sent John Jay to Britain to create a treaty.
Jay's Treaty
Britain must pay for the ships they seized in 1793.
Americans had to pay debts from before the Revolution.
Britain had to give up remaining forts in the Ohio River Valley

Washington accepted the treaty in hopes that it would avoid a war.

In his farewell address, Washington gives advice to the American nation.
Be careful not to become involved in the affairs of Europe.
Such involvment/alliances may pull the United States into future wars.
Limit interactions with Europe to involve only economics.

Adams does not ask Congress to declae war. Instead he strengthens navy and France is impressed by our show of strength. Talleyrand agrees to no longer attack merchant ships in the West Indes

would weaken the Reuplicans who supported France
Force the US to bollster the army & navy increasing the strength of the federal govt.
Adams did not give into to Hamilton's demand for war
Hamilton and his supporters formed the High Federalists

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a taco cart parked on Bedford between Metropolitan and North 3rd. I was a little bit skeptical, as their signs indicated that they served "American" food (burgers, cheesesteaks) alongside tacos, burritos, and quesadillas.
My skepticism was totally unfounded, because this place is really great! Way, way, way better and more authentic than Endless Summer, which parks over near the Bedford L. And I think a bit cheaper, as well. ($2.50 for tacos, $5 for relatively large quesadillas, I'm not sure about the price of burritos). I stopped by for a quesadilla about an hour ago, and am still giddy about how good it was.
First off, the corn tortillas are made fresh to order -- lumped and pressed and then tossed on the griddle -- and are delicious in their own right, with a sort of nutty corn flavor.
I'm vegetarian, and for my veggie quesadilla I was given two options: shredded zucchini and corn, or mushrooms. I choose a combination of both. The marinated mushrooms were almost certainly made from fresh (not canned) mushrooms, and both they and the zucchini mix were well-seasoned, though they could have been a bit spicier (next time I'll ask for jalapenos as well). A ladle-full of roasted and marinated onions and peppers was added on top: totally awesome. They use shredded, almost mozzarella-like queso fresco in the quesadilla, and then sprinkle some more on before serving. There's a choice of salsas and sour cream -- I got the salsa verde, which was satisfyingly tart and had a bit of heat -- as well as cilantro and chopped onion as additional toppings.
The truck is run by an older hispanic couple who are incredibly friendly. They haven't been there every single day, though they seem to be there occasionally during the week, and on both days of the weekend. Highly recommended!


text: I'm sure this has been asked many times but I am trying to decide on what to request in terms of room location here. I usually ask for a high floor and end room at most hotels, but I am worried that this would place us too far from the lobby. So. here are my criteria and I hope some HIFS vets can give their opinion: -somewhat quiet location ( for napping/early to bed baby) -not far from lobby and pool but not so close that we will hear the pool all night. -not sure whether to ask for high floor or ground floor. We will have a car and a stroller. Is it easier to be near the parking lot on the ground floor so you can just "wheel" in? Are there elevators in every building? - How is the noise level from the rooms above and next to you? What about foot traffic in front of the room? That is why I was thinking and end room would be better. I know I am probably putting way too much thought into this, but I love to plan!! Can't wait to read your thoughts!

California Water Service Group (CWT) reported fourth-quarter 2013 earnings of 12 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 5 cents by an impressive 140.0%. Earnings however remained flat with the year-ago level.
In 2013, earnings were $1.02 per share, 12.8% below last year's earnings. Yearly earnings downscaled due to a reduction in authorized return on equity mandated by the California Public Utilities Commission (:CPUC), higher labor and other operational expenses and limited benefits arising out of rate relief from the company's rate case cycle. In addition, the issuance of 5.75 million shares during the year had a dilutive impact on earnings per share.
Following the earnings beat, the share price of California Water Service showed a positive momentum of 2.4% yesterday.
Total Revenue
In the quarter under review, California Water's total operating revenues were $133.7 million, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $125.0 million by nearly 7.0%. Total operating revenues were 10.0% higher year over year.
Total operating revenues of $584.1 million in 2013 were 4.3% ahead of the 2012 revenue figure. The upswing can be attributed to increased rates and the addition of new customers during the year.
Operational Update
During the quarter, the company's total operating expenses were $122.1 million, up 10.7% year over year primarily due to a 21.4% increase in water production costs.
The company's quarterly operating income increased 3.5% year over year to $11.6 million.
Interest expenses totaled approximately $7.0 million, compared with $7.3 million in fourth quarter of 2012. Interest expense went down in the reported quarter due to a decline in debt levels.
Financial Update
As of Dec 31, 2013, California Water's cash and cash equivalents were $27.5 million compared with $38.8 million as of Dec 31, 2012.
Long-term debt as of Dec 31, 2013, was $426.1 million compared with $434.5 million as of Dec 31, 2012.
California Water's net utility plant was worth $152 billion at the end of Dec 31, 2013, as against $1.46 billion as of Dec 31, 2012.
Peer Comparison
American States Water Company (AWR) posted fourth-quarter 2013 earnings of 30 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 19 cents by 57.9%.
American Water Works Company, Inc. (AWK) reported fourth-quarter 2013 adjusted earnings of 47 cents per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
Veolia Environnement (VE) reported a loss of €0.32 (42 cents) in 2013, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 40 cents (€0.29).

California Water Service currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

The Islamic State, known as ISIS, exploded into the public eye in 2014 with startling speed and shocking brutality. It has captured the imagination of the global jihadist movement, attracting recruits in unprecedented numbers and wreaking bloody destruction with a sadistic glee that has alienated even the hardcore terrorists of its parent organization, al Qaeda.
Jessica Stern and J.M. Berger, two of America's leading experts on terrorism, dissect the new model for violent extremism that ISIS has leveraged into an empire of death in Iraq and Syria, and an international network that is rapidly expanding in the Middle East, North Africa and around the world.
ISIS: The State of Terror traces the ideological innovations that the group deploys to recruit unprecedented numbers of Westerners, the composition of its infamous snuff videos, and the technological tools it exploits on social media to broadcast its atrocities, and its recruiting pitch to the world, including its success at attracting thousands of Western adherents. The authors examine ISIS's predatory abuse of women and children and its use of horror to manipulate world leaders and its own adherents as it builds its twisted society. The authors offer a much-needed perspective on how world leaders should prioritize and respond to ISIS's deliberate and insidious provocations.

What do you make for shabbat dinner when you have some meat-eating guests and some vegetarian guests?
I like to make something a little special for shabbat, but most of my special meals are meat. I have plenty of dairy/vegan weeknight meals, but none of them feel special enough for shabbos. (Things like lentil salad with cheese, pasta with veggies, eggs for dinner).
I'm having some guests for shabbos dinner in two weeks and have one pescatarian and one true vegetarian. I'm not opposed to serving a milchig meal instead of fleshig although in that case I would probably want to serve fish, which gets expensive, but I just don't have any special meals which are either all vegetarian, or where there are enough vegetarian parts for a vegetarian to have a full meal and not just a side or two.
I guess that's the real problem. I have lots of vegetarian sides, but how do I make it feel like a real shabbos meal for my vegetarian guests?
There are a lot of vegetarians in my community, so I run into this problem frequently when hosting for shabbos, and it holds me back from hosting as often as I would like.
What do you serve vegetarians for shabbos dinner? Or if you are vegetarian, what do you like to eat for shabbos dinner?
(Note, we can eat small amounts of soy, but can't do large amounts, so any dish which has as it's centerpiece large quantities of tofu is a no-go). Thanks.

Rocky Morano, 1994-2009 by geekgirl8Watch

My awesome cat Rocky, who's been in Kitty Heaven now for three years. He was the most badass cat ever; we named him Rocky because his front paws had extra toes and it made them look like boxing gloves. He acted more like a dog than a cat; he would follow my dad around and even growl at people he didn't trust. My dad was especially hurt when he passed away; my dad has a burning hatred for cats, but for some reason my dad loved Rocky, and Rocky loved him right back.
We miss ya, buddy. You were the best.
We miss ya, buddy. You were the best.
My condolences. I'm more of a dog person myself, but I can understand the grief of losing one's friend to the heavens. It happened to too many of my dog friends as well.
Poor guy...
Yeah. I really miss him. He was a great cat.
i never had a cat or dog before, but i had a hampster X3 the poor thing died recently. it was hard to see him go like that TnT
I'm sorry I had to have my dog put down in 2010 so I know hard it is.
Well, at least we can be comforted with the knowledge that they're not suffering anymore and in a better place (at least, I hope).
Awww...I'm sorry...and cats are awesome! I think that I was a cat in some precedent life
Thanks Yeah, I love cats! We could never have one because my dad hated them so much, but we kept Rocky because my dad rescued him after he saw someone toss him out of a moving car when he was just a kitten. People can be such heartless assholes sometimes. >8(
Me too...but I can't keep one because my brother is allergic -_-
And yeah...humans can be complete assholes, sometimes...*le sigh*...
And yeah...humans can be complete assholes, sometimes...*le sigh*...
my sentiments and condolences
Thanks He didn't go out very pretty, but I think that's just how he wanted it be. He was a tough son of a bitch, to say the least.

Hi. My husband and I are planning a two week trip to France next May. I had initially thought that we would fly into Paris and back home to Toronto from Nice. However, then I realized that will put us in Nice during the Grand Prix and film festival... so hotels will be more expensive. I am now looking at flying into Nice in early May, staying there for about three days (taking local transit), taking the train to Provence- Avignon area for about four days. From there we would like to go to the Loire Valley for one night (Amboise?) and then onto Paris for four days.
My question is: Which is more time-efficient- returning the rental car and taking the TGV from Avignon to Paris then from Paris to the Loire (where we would then have to rent a car again just for the two days!) Or driving from Avignon directly to the Loire and turning the car in at the end of the stay there and taking the train to Paris.
Sorry if this is confusing.... I know some people will say to forget about the Loire..... but I really want to see a couple of chateux and it could be many, many years before we are able to return to France!

Take the train from Avignon to Tours (NOT Paris!) and rent another car. It will cost you, as anything less than a 3-day rental is not cost-effective, but maybe it won't be so bad. Anyway, it won't be as awful as making that drive.

There are many many chateaux around Paris - Versailles is just one example. I would forget the Loire, & do day trips to the Chateaux around Paris.
Train travel from the Avignon TGV station to the Loire is not that great. There is only 1 schedule with no train changes. It leaves at 1:21 and arrives at St Pierre des Corps (station for Tours) at 5:30. You would probably have to leave wherever you are staying in Provence around noon or a bit earlier, return the car (doesn't take much time), take the train, re-rent a car, navigate the somewhat difficult drive out of St Pierre to a hotel, check in, then off to visit a chateau. By the time you get to your first chateau - it would be 7-7:30 - and the chateau would probably be closed by then. There are other train schedules, but they take an hour longer than the no-train-change one. You would have to stay in the Loire for 2 nights & you would probably be able to only visit 3 chateaux.
Then, next morning it is an hour by train to Paris - but with finding your way to the station, returning the car, taking the train, taxi to your Paris hotel - you will probably waste 3-4 hours.
So - you have "lost" almost 1 1/2 days of your too short vacation taking transportation from Provence to Loire to Paris. And you will only be able to visit about 3 chateaux.
Compare that to a 2 hr 40 min train trip from Provence to Paris (many departures) and trips consuming a half day or less to a chateau around Paris. I think I have read trip reports from others where you can visit several chateaux around Paris on 1 trip. Versailles is a huge chateau, and it took us door-to-door about 3/4 of a day - and we go slow. Also factor in the additional hassle of 1-2 additional train trips (and lugging the bags), an additional hotel, and additional car hire.

Take the train from Avignon to Tours (NOT Paris!) and rent another car.>
Do not take the train to Tours if you are renting cars - get off at St-Pierre-des-Corps - the real mainline station in Tours - many trains do not even serve Tours' dead-end in-the-town-center station but you use shuttle trains to get there. Anyway St-Pierre-des-Corps has all the major car rentals and as it is on the outside of a Tours often IME snarled in traffic it is a quick shot from there to Amboise, a favored Loire Valley base for many.
Since there are nearly no direct trains Avignon to St-Pierre-des-Corps you'll have to go thru Paris - no problem as at Gare d Lyon all you have to do is walk across the Pont Charles DeGaulle - a pedestrian pathway that you can take luggage carts on to Austerlitz station which has frequent trains to Avignon - for lots of great info on French trains check out these IMO superb sites - www.seat61.com; www.ricksteves.com and http://www.budgeteuropetravel.com/id8.html. Advance purchase from www.voyages-sncf.com can slash ticket prices if you can book in stone months in advanced to get those limited in number discounted tickets - full fare is always available but at a much higher rate.

Good point (except PalenQ meant "frequent trains to St Pierre des Corps" instead of Avignon). However, I would not want to take a long trip to Paris, disembark at the Gare de Lyon, and then walk across a bridge to another train station. We were at the Gare de Lyon in July - and it is quit hectic - not a fun place to be. All the more reason to just stay in Paris and visit several of the many chateaux from Paris.

Thanks everyone for the helpful replies. I guess we will forget about the Loire this trip. It seems a bit of a time and logistic nightmare!

Now that I say that... I guess the other option would be to change our trip dates to miss all the craziness in nice. So we could fly into paris at the end of April (arrive around 8am). Then immediately take a train to St. Pierre des corps, rent a car and stay in amboise for one night. We would have a half day that first day and then a full day the following, and could take a late afternoon train back to paris and book into a hotel there for four nights. Then into provence and nice from there. Thoughts? I know that will be a tiring first day but I don't care if we just see one chateau and then relax at the hotel. Thanks again for the replies.

There are escorted day tours to the Loire from Paris which might be less hectic but probably more expensive. I would check those at least for a comparison point.
Stu has a good point given timing and logistics. In addition to Versailles, Fontainebleu is impressive and interesting and an easy trip from Paris.
Report Abuse
If I could only visit 1 chateau in France, it would be Versailles. Or maybe Vaux le Vicomte or Fontainbleu. All are easy day-trips from Paris. You could visit Fontainbleu and Vaux le Vicomte on the same day. We've been to almost every chateaux on the Loire (several 2-3 times) and all are lovely, but not as spectacular as Versailles IMO.
There is a 10:16 TGV from CDG to St Pierre. That is a little "too soon" after your arrival time for my comfort zone. If you miss it, you will have to go into central Paris, get to the train station, and then take a train to St Pierre. This is something I would not want to do on arrival day. If you catch the 10:16 you will arrive in the Loire at noon - if you miss the 10:16, it could be around 3PM before you get to the Loire. Then you must rent a car, check into a hotel for a 1-nighter, & either rest up or try to hit 1 chateau. Next day you will have to do the reverse back to Paris. SOME ADVICE from a well seasoned traveler - DON'T DO THIS for your arrival & next day in France.
Spend most of your time too-short time "being there" instead of "getting there".
Re-arrange your travel dates and fly into Nice (we're going via Frankfurt on United next May). Visit the Cote d'Azur, Provence, and then take the TGV from the Avignon TGV station to the Gare de Lyon in central Paris. If you arrive around lunch time, have lunch at the remarkable Train Bleu at the Gare.
Much less "wasted" travel time and connection complications.
Do you have my 27 page Cote d'Azur & Provence itinerary? I've sent it to over 3,000 people on Fodors. If you would like a copy, e-mail me at [email protected] & I'll attach it to the reply e-mail. Do so soon - we leave for our fall trip to Europe in a few days.

Make sure you are not in Nice for the Cannes Film Festival or the Monaco Gran Prix. Higher hotel prices are only one negative aspect. Every place in the city will be packed, restauarants included.

Cannot disagree with Stu more on this point - Versailles is a palace not a chateau, which is a much smaller pleasure house not a house built for a king to rule from - big difference in feeling. And though there are other castles around Paris that are easy to get to - like Compeigne and Chantilly IMO they just do not compare to the pleasure domes of the Loire Valley and staying in a town like Amboise is to savor a smaller French town - one less night in Paris I would gladly substitute with a chance to stay in such a town and Chenonceau- the castle nearest Amboise (besides Amboise's own great chataeu) is just an incredible sight to behold.
<I know some people will say to forget about the Loire..... but I really want to see a couple of chateux and it could be many, many years before we are able to return to France!>
IMO go for it - try to spend two nights in Amboise so you can leisurely day trip to Chenonceau or other castles - there are frequent mini-bus tours from Amboise that take you to 2-3 castles in half-day or day trips - just providing transporation to the castles - rather inexpensively priced IMO.

ACCO-DISPO has been around for years doing mini-bus excursions to various Loire chateaus - and even if you do not stay in the Loire you can easily day trip from Paris to Tours, from whose train station the tours leave on half- and full-day excursions.

I think 2 nights in Amboise is a fine idea. ANd it's not such a hardship to grab that once-a-day train from Avignon to Tours (St-Pierre-des-Corps). So, you get there at 5:30, have a short train ride (or drive, if you're renting) to Amboise, settle in, have a nice dinner, walk around...and next morning go off to see the châteaux (which to me bear zero resemblance to Versailles or much of anything around Paris except maybe Chantilly). You can visit 2-23 châteaux that day, get back in time to see the one in Amboise itself, plus the Clos Lucé, then the next day do a bit more touring around before heading back to Tours for the short train ride back to Paris.
Or, you can do a tour, as mentioned.

I spent 2 nights in Amboise with my sister a few years ago.We took the TGV from Paris to St Pierre de Corps, picked up a rental car and drove to the chateau in Villandry. Then back to Amboise for a stay at the fantastic Manoir les Minimes. The next morning, we took a hot air ballon ride over the valley--incredible. Then back to Amboise, drove to Chenenceau. Wonderful trip, though short. I've been to Versailles and it's overcrowded and over the top, I though. I much preferred the more manageable crowds in the Loire. It's definitely worth a stopover.

I would never go through all that trouble just to see a chateau. These are just big old stone houses for rich people, you know. And there are plenty of them all over France (and other places in Europe, actually). But you can see enough of them while staying in Paris, anyway, as noted -- like Chantilly, for one.

A chateau is a chateau is a chateau is a chateau - my favorite being Chateau d'Eaux - one in every little town.

Agree with St-Cirq about taking the once a day direct TGV train to St-Pierre-des-Corps - takes only 4.5 hours, including the change at St-Pierre-des-Corps (6 minutes between trains however) - oddly it also goes via Paris (Massy-TGV) but with no changing involved.
Earlier departures from Avignon would take all told at least an hour longer and involve the 800-meter foot transfer from Gare de Lyon to Austerlitz just across the river.

It was perfect for a two year old and her little buddies! We first got Hallie dressed in her adorable 2 year old hungry caterpillar dress I purchased from ETSY.

At 10:30 my dear friend Jennifer came over and helped with some last minute details and with our craft station. Hallie's uncle and aunt came too, bearing a huge ice bag and mylar balloons and were super helpers. Of course, Grandma and Grandpa also broke their backs helping to make everything perfect for their "baby love" too. It's so nice to have supportive friends and family.

I covered the buffet with Seran wrap so that people wouldn't start munching too early. People had a bit of mingle time, and kids got to play a bit in our ball pit, water table and slide. As soon as all of our guests were accounted for, I had a story time, and read aloud "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." We followed that with a before meal prayer, and then the guests started their munching story. I had signs and food cards that told the whole story again, of the very hungry caterpillar, and the guests could then munch on the same foods that the caterpillar had!

After eating, the guests had more playtime, and my P.E. teacher of a husband was way too cute, and took some parents and kids outside for some buggy parachute time. Adults who were watching were blowing bubbles into the area. The bubble wands also doubled as part of our favors.

With the eye of a professional scientist and the passion of a dedicated amateur, E. C. Pielou conducts a guided tour of fresh water on its course through the natural world. As the world's supply of clean, fresh water continues to dwindle, it becomes increasingly important to understand the close connection between water and all forms of life. Pielou's fascination with fresh water gives us a "natural history" that is remarkable and surprising.

We all have to start somewhere, right? In this post, I will share with you ALL 11 jobs that led to my early retirement at age 36.
Additionally, I will disclose how much I got paid along the way so you can get an idea of the progression. I think it's important to see this, especially for my millennial friends who admittedly concentrate a lot of their focus on "today".
If you have the goal to FIRE, it's critical to keep moving, growing, and by all means SAVING along the way. Although I earned much more in my later years, some earlier jobs were more critical in my overall development… including my unpaid internship!
Job #1
Title: Concessions Assistant
Compensation: $4.25/hr, or $8160/year
Job Description: Serve soda and popcorn to patrons attending music events
I think it's a great idea to take a job in your teens. It's a time when you potentially have a decent amount of free time on your hands… especially in the summer!
In addition to making a little extra money for yourself, you begin to understand the money and labor dynamic in a traditional sense. This builds appreciation for "hard work".
I only had one job in high school, but really wish I taken some others. I also dabbled in some entrepreneurial endeavors as well, although I didn't make much. 🙂
Job #2
Title: Dining Hall Assistant II
Compensation: $5.85/hr, or $11,232/year
Job Description: Prepare food for dining hall; Serve students entrees and sides; Kitchen clean up
If I'm being honest, I only took this job at the time to earn some extra cash for a paintball gun I wanted! No saving was ever intended with this income.
It was however, a great experience to really pull up my sleeves and trade time for dollars. I can't say that this model interested me for long!
Job #3
Title: Web Design Intern
Compensation: $0.00/hr, or $0/year
Job Description: Create local area band websites using HTML
Half way after declaring my major in economics, I realized I wanted to work in tech! So, I decided to pursue an internship in web design which ultimately led me to working in technology.
Although I didn't earn a dime, this internship really gave a glimpse into the tech industry and helped me to learn real world skills that were tangible for many years to come.
Job #4
Title: Seminar Marketing Associate
Compensation: $7.00/hr, or $13,440/year
Job Description: Stamp and stuff envelopes with marketing materials for self-employed engineer
This part-time job was another low paying job, but super high in value. I ultimately became life-long friends with the owner of the business and she's become more than just a mentor to me… she's our children's Godmother!
EARLY 20's
Job #5
Title: Web Design Consultant
Compensation: $20.00/hr, or $38,400/year
Job Description: Create websites for realtors
Because I had tangible skills learned at my prior internship, I was able to work for a local web development company as a freelance web designer.
Job #6
Title: IT Support: Systems Administrator
Compensation: $21.88/hr, or $42,000/year
Job Description: Manage backups, Provide Tier I desktop and network support
Although I like web design, I couldn't see myself sitting behind a computer screen all day long. I needed to get out and stretch my legs and see the world!
So, I began pursuing opportunities in I.T. specifically with networking and hardware. In fact, the company that I did web design for allowed me to build out their first network and server.
This led me to finding my first salaried job as a systems admin which would launch my career into outsourced IT.
Job #7
Title: IT Support: Systems & Network Administrator
Compensation: $30.21/hr, or $58,000/year
Job Description: Manage backups, Provide Tier I desktop and network support, Assist with internal system integrations, & manage internal web portal
I was like a sponge here. There were so many opportunities to learn. Being hands on at your first "real" job is critical to your success.
Pay attention to all the departments and how they work… not just your own!
After several months, I decided to ask for a raise. I did a ton of research and made my move.
I ended up with a generous increase. To read more about it this topic, check out my posts – Jumpstart Your Wealth with a Raise and 5 Simple Ways to Get the Raise You Deserve.
Job #8
Title: Small Business Owner – IT Consultant, Systems Engineer
Compensation: $36.46/hr, or $70,000/year
Job Description: Provide IT support for small and medium businesses
A little less than two years into my first salaried job, the technology market took a huge crash!
Our company was hemorrhaging cash left and right and people began to get laid off.
After witnessing 6 rounds of layoffs, a couple of my friends and I decided that we had seen enough. It was obvious if we stayed we would get laid off at some point, so we decided to resign and start-up a company of our own.
I was just 25 at the time, super naive, and unprepared to start a business. Fortunately, I didn't care.
I had built up enough confidence over the past few jobs to know I could be flexible and maneuver through challenges.
Fortunately, we landed our first few clients quickly and I was already making more money than I was prior to a few months earlier.
Job #9
Title: Small Business Owner – IT Consultant, Systems Engineer, CFO
Compensation: $44.27/hr, or $85,000/year
Job Description: Provide IT support for small and medium businesses, Manage company financial processes (AP, AR, invoicing, etc.)
I like working with clients at times, but I was also super interested in business. So, I took it upon myself to really grow it with systems and processes.
As CFO, I managed our cash flow wisely and we were able to make a couple acquisitions along the way which really fed our client base nicely.
Remember, if you ever start your own business, cash flow is KING! Because I controlled the company cash flow, I made sure to pay ourselves fairly, but also not pay out everything.
Job #10
Title: Business Owner – IT Consultant, Chairman, President
Compensation: $52.08/hr, or $100,000/year
Job Description: Provide IT support for small and medium businesses, Manage company financial processes (AP, AR, invoicing, etc.), Manage department heads
Over the next few years, I took a more active role in leading the company growth. I knew that someday when we sold the company, our recurring revenue contracts would be the assets that had actual tangible value.
I spent a lot of time growing our business from a place trading time for money, into an actual scalable business complete with a management team and processes to run the day-to-day operations.
This focus would ultimately lead to a larger pay off later on, outside of my regular salary.
Job #11
Title: VP of Outsourced IT Solutions (On-Premise)
Compensation: $67.71/hr, or $130,000/year
Job Description: Manage multi-state outsourced IT operations; Help land new clients and lead integration team; Assist with new acquisitions
My last job was a position I had for a little over a year. After we sold the company, we merged our teams, and I was responsible for the outsourced IT team that did onsite calls and projects.
I enjoyed a nice salary during this time, but the leadership of the new entity left more to be desired and we ended up parting ways.
I was able to negotiate a generous severance package which I used to transition into early retirement.
Today I am super blessed to be a Stay-At-Home Dad first and foremost. I meet so many people who had regrets about not spending enough time with their kids when they were younger. So, I'm soaking it up as much as I can, while I can!
To keep my mind active and grow our asset base, I pursue other projects. Other hats I get to wear are: investor, financial coach, e-retailer, etc.
To me, early retirement is not about STOPPING work. Rather it's an inflection point where I can simply work on exactly what I want to, when I want to.
There is definitely more work to be done, but I will always stop and smell the roses along the way.
Climbing a ladder is much easier than scaling a high wall all at once. It can be done, but I'd rather increase my odds of success over time to guarantee my outcome.
Make sure that each job you have is serving you and your goal of early retirement.
And remember, it's not the amount of earnings that will take you to early retirement, rather it's your mindset and your subsequent habits.
Readers, what kind of jobs did you take along your career path that really impacted you in a positive way? Were there jobs that were super challenging, but really made a difference? Where will you "jump to" next?
My goal is to help you find your personal path to financial freedom, and to enjoy the entire journey.

text: The two University of Hawaii students selected as Ehime Prefecture Interns for 2015 visited the Ehime Maru Memorial at Kakaako Waterfront Park in Honolulu prior to departing for Ehime to begin their three-month summer internship. Ms. Ashley Nakaoka, undergraduate Japanese language and Biology major, and Mr. Tabo Nagase, undergraduate Hawaiian language major accompanied UH Center for Japanese Studies Director Dr. Mary McDonald, Assistant Director Dr. Gay Satsuma, and EMMA President Lenny Yajima who explained the Ehime Maru incident of 2001, the significance of the memorial, and why their upcoming internship in Ehime was directly tied to these events. They learned that this internship, which is fully paid and sponsored by Ehime Prefectural International Center (EPIC), was one of several good-will measures established soon after the tragic Ehime Maru accident to promote future understanding and good relations between the people of Ehime and Hawaii. Former EPIC Interns Mathew Manako Tanaka and Rochelle Ohata also attended to share their experiences.

Britney Spears will reportedly perform at next month's Grammy Awards. But will she be able to reach the heights of weirdness possessed by the fever-dream mashup of "From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart" and "...Baby One More Time" that she performed in 2000? Travel back to a stranger time with the clip below.
It's kind of crazy to think that this performance happened only 11 years ago, because it seems like it's from another pop universe entirely. Start with Britney's outfits, which seem downright habit-like compared to the getups worn by pop stars today—although this was, after all, the pre-wardrobe malfunction era, so bodysuits with cutout sides did still have a vaguely daring air about them.
Examining the clip at a level deeper than its outfits, though, is not unlike reading an executive summary of Why People Complained About The Grammys, Even Now—the limpness of the audience, the weird glomming-together of Important Artistic Statements and loose-limbed (and way superior) dance pop, the lazy hotel-lounge arrangement backing Britney's watery rendition of "From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart," Britney's attempt at breakdancing, the almost-callout to Wire's "Three Girl Rumba" at the beginning of the costume-change-occasioned robot dance breakdown. Also, the robot dance breakdown, although that can probably be explained at least a bit by the times; after all, it was the year 2000 and people were still coming to grips with the idea that the world had officially entered the future, and hadn't ended because of worldwide Y2K-related panic (although damn if the dot-com bust didn't try to take at least some of it down). Plus Daft Punk was probably just filtering up to the teenpop hordes at that point.
It's probably worth noting that the above tableau was presented the year that Santana's inescapable Supernatural steamrolled through the Record, Song and Album of the Year categories on the heels of it selling a lot of records; it's 15 times platinum as of this writing, although who knows how many of those copies are currently languishing in used/refuse bins. (And Christina Aguilera wound up beating Britney for Best New Artist that night.) So saying that this performance is from another era isn't entirely off the mark—after all, Napster was just starting to reach the world beyond Shawn Fanning's dorm room, while Taylor Swift was 12 years old.
But it's also worth having this clip ready for comparison to whatever Britney unleashes when she takes the stage in Los Angeles in a couple of weeks to preview her new album, because no matter what sort of crowing the bloggerati engages in, she'll very likely be less trainwrecky than the above performance from 2000, to say nothing of her VMA sleepwalk from three and a half years ago. Whether or not the absence of the "childhood dreams run amok" element that runs through the above clip is a good thing, though? I'm not sure.

Google Offers
April 23, 2011 by USA Post
Google Offers, Cannot Groupon acquisition after it rejected his offer and 6000000000; Google has chosen to start from scratch with its own daily service delivery of bids. Google is initially offered up in Portland, New York and San Francisco, which offers discounts of 50% off or more in different stores, presumably with the same set of limited time to buy formula and treat other sites where the discount is active only when enough people buy into the offer.
Registration is open only at this time, but offers should come soon. As Groupon, Google will distribute their offerings through regular emails, which "will enable exciting offers in your area." As expected, Google is not automatically subscribing users to this program, they are asking users to register with Google offers through the Google landing page offers.
It is unclear whether Google will integrate this service with their other products such as web sites and the "stew formerly known as recommendation engine, which could increase the effectiveness of Google's offerings.
There are still some doubts about whether online services such as Groupon are absolutely sustainable. "You get what you pay", they say, and unfortunately that was the case for me the few times I've used these sites to record the discount. Companies register for Groupon on the premise that the offers to attract new customers who then become willing to pay full price. But often cannot handle the overwhelming flood of coupon holders who end up getting a second-class citizen treatment. So companies really spend money on customer acquisition, but not see them coming back.
That may be a general view and one could argue that you should only buy offers for places they know and like. After all, it is rumored that Groupon is preparing to go public with an estimated value and 25 million dollars, so they must be doing something right. And you, have you had any experience with this agreement the day sites?

I've got someone (non-pro) who is looking for a new P&S camera. He is fixed on a getting a Sony product for personal reasons. He travels a lot, so it needs to be lightweight and easy to carry. He'd be doing sports, outdoor and other photos. Interchangeable lenses would be nice, but not a deal breaker. I personally think the RX1 would be overkill.
Sony models only, please. Why you think a particular model would suit him would also be helpful.

Thousands of Americans struggle every year with the tightening of loose and sagging skin. While there are many methods on the market today – ThermiTight is a new and innovative treatment that uses controlled warming to tighten the skin from below the surface.
The ThermiRF system is used along with a tiny SmartTip thermistor probe, which is inserted under the skin to heat sub dermal tissues to a user selected specific temperature. During the ThermiTight procedure, internal temperatures are monitored and regulated by the system computer. In addition, Thermal Image Guidance provides Dr. Garcia with real time external temperatures to ensure precision of the heating effect while maintaining safe skin temperatures.
During ThermiTight treatment your skin will be numbed to prevent any pain at the site of therapy. Because a probe is inserted below the skin there is a small risk of bleeding, swelling and infection following treatment. Most procedures last less than one hour. After the procedure, a gentle wrap is applied and the patient may resume normal activities the next day.
Contact Dr. Julio Garcia to learn more today.

Andres rules out Pompey stay
By Peter ORourke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Andres D'Alessandro has revealed he has no plans to stay at Portsmouth.
Andres D'Alessandro has revealed he has no plans to stay at Portsmouth.
The Argentine spent the second half of last season on loan at Fratton Park from German side Wolfsburg.
D'Alessandro was instrumental in helping Portsmouth avoid relegation and the club had expressed an interest in making his stay at the club permanent.
Wolfsburg are thought to be willing to let the attacking midfielder leave and the news has alerted a number of clubs across Europe.
D'Alessandro has dealt a blow to Portsmouth's bid to sign him by suggesting he wants a join a more ambitious club.
"What I know next week my future will be determined and that I would like to leave Portsmouth for a club with bigger ambitions," D'Alessandro told O Jogo.
Portuguese giants Benfica are thought to be leading the chase for his signature and D'Alessandro admits he would be interested in a switch to Portugal.
"I do not know anything of the interest of Benfica, but if this is true that would be magic," added D'Alessandro.
"Benfica is an incredible club, one of the most important in European football, but I repeat I do not know anything at this moment.
"My representatives have informed me there is interest from England, Spain and Germany."

BOISE, Idaho -- It's a long college football timeline from Kyle Rote to Troy Smith. More than a half century. But the last time a No. 1-ranked team rolled into Austin, Texas, was 1950, when Rote and SMU were conquered in a 23-20 thriller, and crumbled after that. The No. 1 ranking was hardly deserved.
Are No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Texas the two best teams? Like most people, I have them ranked that way, but my early September ballot is about as worthless as the next voter's. That question can't be answered for a couple of months; that's why No. 1 vs. No. 2 games don't mean as much in September. But I do know this: After seeing Notre Dame, Florida State and Miami in the last six days, none look like world-beaters .
I know, it's early. Too early for the 'Canes and 'Noles, it seems. I look forward to next year, when this rivalry shifts back to October, when it used to be. Offensive execution will be better -- it can't be worse. Three rushing yards combined! On 51 attempts! I have never seen a stat like that. In the other 115 Division I-A teams that played, a total of 477 individual players exceeded the combined total for Miami and FSU.

1. You're still single. There is no point in giving any marriage advice if you're still single because you don't have any experience yet. Just enjoy your single days and find the perfect mate.
2. You're also experiencing problems in your marriage. If you give advice to a close friend who is also married, he or she might blame you if your advice does not work. Giving advice is not easy and your friend might even tell you – 'why are you giving me advice if your marriage isn't even working?'
3. You are divorced. If you're divorced, it only means that the marriage did not work and so you can't possibly give marriage advice. Others might even think that you're simply trying to break up another marriage so that couples can also end up the same way as you.
4. Marriage advice is no joke. Instead of giving advice, why don't you just tell the person that the internet can provide all the pieces of advice he or she needs. The internet is far more powerful and knowledgeable than you, right?
5. You can't provide advice because you're not a preacher or an expert in marriage counseling. If you want to give advice, you must become a marriage counselor or better yet, why don't you become a priest or a preacher?!
6. The couple will simply work out their relationship in due time. It's natural for married couples to fight over things and they can resolve their problems on their own. Just think of it this way – they are adults and besides, you know nothing about their problems or troubles. Giving advice can only make matters worse especially if the ones you provide are ineffective.
7. The couple did not ask for any advice from you. It's not good to give advice when it's not even wanted. If you do this, you will only get remarks like – 'Mind your own business!' or 'What do you care?' Marriage problems can be complicated and you can't just enter the scene and say 'Hey, I've got some great advice for you to make your marriage work.' You will look like a fool if you do this.
8. You're the one who's having problems. How can you give advice to yourself? As other people always say, it's easier to give advice to others but when it comes to your personal situation you can't apply those pieces of advice. It's different when you're the one who's experiencing the problems.
9. You're not feeling well. Even if your friend talks about his or her marriage problems all day long, you won't be able to hear him/her out and give the needed advice. Take a medicine first so that you'll start feeling well again.
10. You're too busy with your work and you hardly have time to listen to the problems of others. You work 5-6 days a week everyday and sometimes, you also work overtime. How can you give marriage advice if you're too tired to even listen?

You know what they say: Never miss a Sunday show. In the spirit of throwbacks, we are revisiting Russ Liquid's Lightning Stage takeover last year at LIB. Producer and multi-instrumentalist Russell Scott is known for funky beats and a musical swagger that blends new and old, electronic and organic. He was joined by his cohorts Andrew Block on guitar and Deven Trusclair on percussion, as part of the now infamous Russ Liquid Test.
The trio took every opportunity to bust out bangers, fluidly progressing through a kaleidoscope of notes. From sexy, sultry tracks with female vocals, to highly textured groovy anthems into deep dark soundscapes, and beyond. Russ lead us down his rabbit hole of sonic exploration; fun and funky musicianship at its finest. Check out this dynamic and sparkly set which served as a lovely early evening Lightning Stage romp.
Mr. Liquid moseyed to the Pagoda bar much later that evening and blew the roof off for a surprise late night set. A true LIB hero, who knows the drill!
