Unanswered: Error -21005 - Database LOCALE
Hey there folks,
I'm running a Informix 7.31 database server on windows 2000.
This database has the single purpose of holding all of our ERP data (built by a brazilian company) and is accessed only by this application that handles data interaction via ODBC, clients don't access the DB directly. They have access to an application server that talks to the database layer application that talks to informix. (hope i made myself clear there.. ).
My problem seems to be due to diferent locales on the database and on the data that is entered into it. The DB uses en_US.819 (which i believe is informix' default) and the clients enter data that has iso-8859-1 characters, brazilian ones.
Here's the error i get in ODBC:
Error=21005[Informix][Informix ODBC Driver]Unspecified System Error = -21005.
and then the row doesn't get updated.
i coudn't find anything related to that error anywhere, but i'm pretty sure that's the problem.
my question is. Is there anyway to change the database locale without having to export all the data, dropping the database, recreating the database with a different charset (which i'm not entirely sure how to do) and then re-importing the data back?
the server in question (HP Proliant 370, 2x 3,06 GHz HT, 4GB RAM, ~60GB RAID 5) takes about 2 hours to export the data (~ 6 GB) and around 3,5 hours to import it back using dbexport and dbimport (is it too slow?).
Any help is greatly appreciated as i've just started managing this database a couple of weeks ago and am still getting the hang of it.
Thank you!

Please check the environment variables CLIENT_LOCALE and DB_LOCALE, next
look in systables (select * from systables where tabid = 91)

Client_locale Db_locale
In setnet32 on the client side ( In fact your databaselayer application) set the CLIENT_LOCALE to iso-8859-1 and the DB_LOCALE to en_US.819 .
Restart your application.
This should do the codeset conversion for you
Best regards

Sorry to take so long to post a reply.
I was able to fix my ODBC problem by upgrading to the latest IBM driver available for download on their website. The latest version of their iConnect product.
So it happens, that yesterday, out of the blue, the problem started happening again. Only this time, nothing could fix it.
I had to call on a consulting company to fix the problem, which they did, by reinstalling informix, and an OLDER version of the connect libraries. ODBC driver version 3.31.
We now have a running system, and if the problem happens again, we know just how to fix it. Export the data, reinstall everything, and import the data back in.
Dandy, just freaking dandy...
Thanks for all your help!

The Chicago Cubs have the unique opportunity to get their young players some quality Major League time this year. Everyone is predicting the Cubs to have an abysmal year. Why not let the young, unproven talent get some big league plate appearances and time on the field at Wrigley?
The Cubs' young players need to face big league pitching to advance their skills to the next level. Not only could the Cubs put a lot of young talent on the field, I think the crowds at Wrigley would enjoy the opportunity to get an early look at the generation of players who will hopefully bring their first World Series Championship in over 100 years.
Starlin Castro, Anthony Rizzo and Darwin Barney aren't going anywhere. Christian Villanueva could come up and play third all year long. Three of our top four prospects are outfielders. Albert Almora, Brett Jackson and Jorge Soler would be an exciting outfield to watch as it develops. It would be great to watch these young players progress, but the truly exciting part would be to bring up five young pitchers for the starting rotation.
Pitchers typically need experience or a great catcher to manage the game for them. I think Wellington Castillo has the baseball IQ to direct a young staff. The Cubs should bring up Arodys Vizcaino, Dillon Maples, Pierce Johnson, Robert Whitenack and Alberto Cabrera to use for the starting rotation. None of these pitchers were born before 1988.
This young talent would no doubt have more than its fair share or errors and rookie mistakes, but in exchange for those issues, the Cubs young players could get the experience they need to be successful in the big leagues. The Cubs could guarantee themselves success for the next ten or more years. They could also turn what will no doubt be a lost season into an opportunity to develop for the future.

Over 1.8 million nonprofits and charities for donors, volunteers and funders
Causes: Health
Mission: Avera health is a health ministry rooted in the gospel. Our mission is to make a positive impact in the lives and health of persons and communities by providing quality services guided by christian values.
Programs: Avera health delivers health care to individuals and communities through a system of nearly 330 affiliated health care facilities, which are referred to collectively as "avera. " avera, the health ministry of the benedictine and presentation sisters, serves the people of eastern south dakota and surrounding states with a wide spectrum of health services delivered through hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics and other health programs. Avera health visionworking with its partners, avera health shall provide a quality, cost-effective health ministry, which reflects gospel values. We shall improve the health care of the people we serve through a regionally integrated network of persons and institutions. Avera valuesin caring for life, the avera community is guided by the gospel values of compassion, hospitality and stewardship. Avera is sponsored by the benedictine sisters of yankton, s. D. , and the presentation sisters of aberdeen, s. D. In accordance with its catholic mission, avera adheres to "the ethical and religious directives for catholic health care services". Avera facilities return any revenues over expenses that they receive to the people in their communities in three ways:we provide care of those who cannot afford to pay. Avera affiliates provide free or discounted health and health-related services to persons who cannot afford to pay all or part of a bill, including persons who are uninsured and low-income patients, using income-related discounts. As the number of uninsured persons grows, so does the need for charity care, or free or discounted health services provided to those who cannot afford to pay. Charity care/patient assistance at cost $22,098,628charity care/financial assistance is free or discounted health and health-related services provided to persons who cannot afford to pay all or part of a bill, including persons who are uninsured and low-income patients, using an income-related schedule. The dollar amount provided for charity care is based on the actual cost of providing that service, not the amount that would have been charged for that service. Charity care does not include bad debt. Unpaid costs of government and other programs $35,540,386 *medicaid, state children's health insurance program (schip), local and state government programs that reimburse health care providers for persons not eligible for medicaid and other government programs provide health coverage for thousands of individuals in our region. However, they generally do not reimburse hospitals and doctors for the full costs of services. In many instances, payment is based on data from previous years that doesn't accurately reflect the rapidly changing nature of health services, such as new processes, new equipment, new technologies and rising costs for supplies. *in accordance with "a guide for planning and reporting community benefit" (st. Louis: catholic health association of the united states, 2008), unpaid costs of medicare are not included in this amount. The amount of unpaid costs of medicare for the fiscal year ending june 30, 2014, was $51,036,521. Additional community benefits $40,408,260community benefits are programs or activities that provide treatment or promote health and healing as a response to identified community needs. These programs and services are not provided for marketing purposes. A community benefit must meet at least one of the following criteria: improve access to health care services; enhance health of the community; advance medical or health care knowledge; or relieve or reduce the burden of government or other community efforts. Included in this category are community health improvement services, health professions education, subsidized health services, research activities, financial and in-kind contributions, community-building and leadership activities and community-benefit-operations activities. Total $99,047,274avera operates under the premise that social and institutional wellness are best promoted through joint efforts of various religious and community-sponsored institutions. Choosing collaboration and empowerment enables us to be better stewards of our human, financial, technical and environmental resources. Our caregivers are supported by the resources and expertise of the region's largest health system. Management and other support services are provided through the avera central office, and avera's six regional centers: avera st. Luke's in aberdeen, sd; avera marshall regional medical center in marshall, mn. ; avera queen of peace in mitchell, sd; avera st. Mary's in pierre, sd; avera mckennan in sioux falls, sd; and avera sacred heart in yankton, sd. As a leading health system in the region, avera is committed to meeting the needs of communities it serves through the provision of quality health care services guided by christian values and by making a positive impact on the community. Avera health acts as the leader of the avera health ministry, serving as an overall parent to support its affiliated tax-exempt health care organizations. Through avera health, affiliates collaborate to improve the lives and health of individuals and of the communities we serve. This collaboration allows affiliates to access leading edge strategies and expertise while keeping administrative costs as low as possible. Avera health serves health care facilities that are owned by avera health as well as facilities that are owned by local communities. Through avera health, affiliates are able to share costs of management, legal and other support services among many facilities rather than each facility incurring those costs separately. Avera health provides a variety of services for the benefit of affiliates including coordinating the delivery of health care service to the region, overall strategic planning, group purchasing of supplies and services at lowest possible cost and education. Avera health also coordinates joint investments and risk-management programs for affiliates. Some of the specific ways avera health has improved the communities we serve include during the year ended june 30, 2014 are:* providing support services to nearly 330 affiliated health care facilities* providing $2,687,673 (shown on form 990, part ix, line 1) in financial support for various projects in local communities* sponsoring education programs including a gerontological care conference, nursing conference, ethics conference, parish nursing conference and more.

Lakes and Boats and Rocks and Such...
Pinecrest Travel Blog› entry 6 of 14 › view all entries
Forty-five years ago, my Grandpa bought a quaint cabin in Pinecrest, and every summer he brought his wife and 5 kids up there. For a month straight, they would march, military style, around that lake, up the mountains, through the creeks, and along the shore, nearly every day. It's a modest lake, not quite big enough for watersports, unless you count taking your motor boat out to the middle of the lake, casting a reel, and waiting for a fish to bite as you feel a sigh escape you as you sink into total relaxation and freedom. It's a beautiful 3 hour hike around the lake though, and the end plants you right at the harbor complete with a fully equipped snack booth for all your cravings.
The tradition continued to my generation, as my parents brought my brother and I up there every summer. As dusk crept up, we'd pile kindle and wood near the fire pit to roast marshmallows, and wait for the first "Eeellllllmmerrrr!" to be heard from the woods. Legend has it, there was a boy camping with his family one year. Like all parents do, his told him not to wander off. Bet you know what happens next...yep-he did anyway. And got lost, never to be seen again. Still to this day, his name is called out throughout the campgrounds and cabins, in hopes that he'll one day hear and come back safe. Of course, this is all just tradition, but fun nonetheless.

Purpose: This paper is the first report on the monitoring of tissue ablation using ultrasound RF echo time series. Methods: We calcuate frequency and time domain features of time series of RF echoes from stationary tissue and transducer, and correlate them with ablated and non-ablated tissue properties. Results: We combine these features in a nonlinear classification framework and demonstrate up to 99% classification accuracy in distinguishing ablated and non-ablated regions of tissue, in areas as small as 12mm2 in size. We also demonstrate significant improvement of ablated tissue classification using RF time series compared to the conventional approach of using single RF scan lines. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest RF echo time series as a promising approach for monitoring ablation, and capturing the changes in the tissue microstructure as a result of heat-induced necrosis. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

This paper presents the results of a feasibility study to demonstrate the application of ultrasound RF time series imaging to accurately differentiate ablated and nonablated tissue. For 12 ex vivo and two in situ tissue samples, RF ultrasound signals are acquired prior to, and following, high-intensity ultrasound ablation. Spatial and temporal features of these signals are used to characterize ablated and nonablated tissue in a supervised-learning framework. In cross-validation evaluation, a subset of four features extracted from RF time series produce a classification accuracy of 84.5%, an area under ROC curve of 0.91 for ex vivo data, and an accuracy of 85% for in situ data. Ultrasound RF time series is a promising approach for characterizing ablated tissue. © 1964-2012 IEEE.

Dwain Chambers - to be admired or hated?Posted by Craig under news and sport with the tags athletics • Dwain Chambers • news • sport
This story is all over the papers and news at the moment, and to be honest I feel a little bit sorry for him.
I'm not a fan of drugs at all, and I'm not a fan of people who cheat so it should follow that I'm not a fan of Dwain Chambers either - but it's not as simple as that.
This story shouldn't really be about Chambers, he's just unlucky enough to have become the face of the problem. And it's a problem which shouldn't really have arisen.
The basic principle of any legal system, or indeed any decent society, is that there are laws or rules and also for anyone found to have broken those rules there is a list of punishments which are meted out depending on which rule is broken.
It is up to the governing body of the country or in this case the sport of athletics to decide what punishment is suitable for each crime and every competitor who enters their competitions should do so in the knowledge that if they are caught breaking a rule then they can expect to receive these punishments.
This has caused some controversy in other sports such as Formula One where the governing body seems to just make up their punishments as they go along which is hardly a fair way to do things.
But in athletics there seems to be a more structured approach to what can go wrong and how to deal with it.
Without getting into too much detail, Dwain Chambers, among others, was caught out by random drugs tests which showed he had used a substance to improve his performance and thereby improve his chances of success.
This obviously cannot be tolerated or condoned and he was rightly found guilty and the appropriate punishment was handed out - a two year ban from all competitions.
Most athletes would have simply walked away from the sport with their tail between their legs, but Chambers kept himself in good condition and even had a short spell playing American Football before returning to competitive athletics in the last year after his ban had ended.
It's not his return to competition which has upset and angered so many, it's the fact that he has returned and is beating everyone else that's getting up people's noses.
I can understand the anger of his fellow athletes in as much as they have devoted their lives to the sport and have competed without the aid of performance enhancing drugs, yet their view is that he has cheated his way to the top.
And that's a fair view - in the past at least. But what about now?
If he really is clean then why shouldn't he be competing and representing his country? The rules say he can so he isn't doing anything wrong in trying his best to be the best - in fact shouldn't we be applauding his spirit and willingness to keep on pushing to get back on form?
It would appear the people in charge of British athletics are far from pleased that he has put them in this position of having to pick him for the British team, but they made the rules so they have to abide by them just as much as the athletes do.
If someone breaks a rule or a law, whether in sport or in life, then if they serve the punishment for it then effectively their slate is wiped clean. However, if they are given a second chance and mess that up too by repeat offending then the punishment for that second offence should be more severe than that for the first and so on.
In this case Chambers has apparently learnt his lesson and claims he will not reoffend, and until anyone can prove otherwise I think he should be taken at his word.
Like I said before, I can understand the anger felt by some ex-athletes who have been very vocal in their opposition to him competing again but until the rules change then Chambers is quite within his rights to carry on.
His journey back from his darkest days has been a lot bumpier than some other sportsmen. The highest profile in this country would be David Beckham I would think - after he was sent off playing for England, only for him to overcome the boo-boys to get back to playing his best, even better than he did before. At the time it was unthinkable that he would play for England again let alone be their captain, so should that story not be an inspiration to others who have wandered off the right path?
Taking drugs in the knowledge that you are deliberately cheating is perhaps a more serious offence than simply lashing out at an opponent as Beckham did, but others such as Eric Cantona who attacked a fan during a match for Manchester United have faced lenghty bans and yet were welcomed back on their return.
Chambers must have expected some harsh treatment, but the fact that he has received very little support, at least publicly, must really play on his mind. To get to the top in sport you have to not only be talented but also incredibly focused and single minded so this opposition may in actual fact be helping to spur him on in an effort to overcome all his obstacles.
Drug cheats must be hounded out of athletics, and indeed all other sports, and the only way of doing so is to make the punishments so severe that they will make people think twice before embarking on such foolishness. Whether it should be a "one strike and you are out" policy which is what the Chambers-haters are protesting for at the moment, I'm not so sure as I think everyone deserves a second chance.
What would have really annoyed me about Dwain Chambers is not what he did so much as what he said at the time - he justified his actions by reckoning it was impossible to win a medal without taking drugs, which many other people have proved to be wrong. A statement like that tarnishes the name of every winner though as people will always have doubts at the back of their mind - especially when a big name athlete such as Linford Christie ends up also falling a test at the latter stages of his career as well.
In my view Chambers was stupid to have done and said the things he did - at the time he presumably knew he wasn't capable of being the best in the world and was desperate enough to win that he would do so at any cost. Whether he truly believed everyone else was also taking drugs, or whether he simply convinced himself of this as some form of justification, we will never know. I think he should be admired for the way he has come back though, and while he will always be associated with his earlier cheating he has already gone some way to redeeming himself in my eyes at least.
Unfortunately for him, it would appear that those who really matter, the other athletes and their governing body, don't agree.

I love those days when you don't do anything for example stay in a hammoc on the beach :D
Nowadays, I'm working in the university in community development and animal welfare.
your actions make the difference, it doesn't matter about what people don't do, just think what you do and what can do for other people, your good actions are like a treasure.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Meeting children who live on the sewers and come in there it was a little sad, but it's interesting how those children have courage for surviving in those conditions. Work with people who live in the Rubbish dumps, amazing for the capacity to give and receive knowledge from them and for them.
"Festival Musica Interna" Music festival in mexican jails without resources :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I used to teach about prevention of AIDS and illness of sexual transmission also I was working with children that live on the streets and then I worked in the Ministry of Culture in Mexico City, with independent artists and comunities, I hope that the Culture arrives to all population, in that time I organized performance and children projects to the jails and poor communities for creating an special sense inside the people who apreciate the spectacles.
Nowadays I work in community development and animal welfare with a project with the University of Mexico and 2 foundations in England. I'm doing a project in the Rubbish Dumps in Mexico to understand the complex relation between humans and working animals and give solutions for both.
I learn new ways for surviving in this world full of inequality just with 2 words: patience and understanding.

When Robin first contacted me to be matched with a DJ for his and Sam's wedding, he told me he wanted everyone to "dance, laugh and have a great time." Judging by the photos from the very talented Kelly Prizel, I think that was accomplished! Robin and Sam were married on March 24, 2012 at The Hotel Monaco DC. As always, Director of Catering Buddee Clinton and his team were amazing to work with, providing stellar service and incredible food in a truly beautiful setting. We had a great time working with wedding planner Candy Borales as well!
Tiffany Newman of Marriage D.C. officiated the couple's beautiful ceremony. Robin and Sam chose some whimsical -- and perfect -- music, including The Dixie Cups' classic "Chapel of Love" for their processional and The Beatles' "All You Need Is Love" for the recessional.
Robin's and Sam's attendants included two maids of honor, two best men, two flower boys, and two ring bearers (one human, one canine - we loved Gussie the dog!).
After introductions set to "Temptation Sensation" by Heinz Kiessling, the newlyweds shared their first dance to Etta James' timeless "At Last."
Alexandria Pastry Shop provided the couple's classic wedding cake trimmed in blue, while Petal's Edge supplied the gorgeous florals for the wedding.
Later, the guests fulfilled Robin's and Sam's wish that everyone have the time of their lives!
Robin and Sam asked their DJ, Anthony Simpson, for lots of "wedding classics" that would energize and inspire their guests to dance the night away. Looks like it worked!
Aren't the littlest guests at a wedding always the cutest!
Love the facial expressions!
That's a lot of hands in the air...
Again with the cute little ones!
A happy family: Robin, Sam and Gussie!
Thanks again to Robin and Sam for letting us be a part of such a special night for you -- you were so much fun to work with and we loved entertaining you and your wonderful guests! Thanks also to the wedding pros who made the wedding happen!

Fort Apache, the Bronx Trailer (1981)
"15 minutes from Manhattan there's a place where even the cops fear to tread." 06 February 1981 Drama, Crime 125 mins
From the sight of a police officer this movie depicts the life in New York's infamous South Bronx. In the center is "Fort Apache", as the officers call their police station, which really seems like an outpost in enemy's country. The story follows officer Murphy, who seems to be a tuff cynic, but in truth he's a moralist with a sense for justice.

The Ask and the Answer is one of those books that is difficult to review without shaking the reader and urging them to read this series as soon as possible. It will also be tough to explain the context of the story without spoiling the first book, so I highly recommend reading book one before reading this review in full. See my review for book one here.
I went into The Ask and the Answer not expecting it to be as good as the first book, The Knife of Never Letting Go. Fortunately, I ended up liking it even more. With such an phenomenal start to a trilogy in book one, it has to be difficult to top it with book two. But I feel like Patrick Ness really hit the nail on the head with this one.
There may however be some who disagree. The Ask and the Answer is a big shift in gears from the first book. Where The Knife of Never Letting Go excels at being an on-the-go adventure, the events of The Ask and the Answer all take place in one town, New Prentisstown. After pulling a hostile takeover on the town of Haven, Mayor Prentiss claims himself President Prentiss and takes the town under his control (hence New Prentisstown). Protagonist Todd Hewitt, who is carrying a wounded Viola to Haven at the end of book one finds himself captured by President Prentiss. The worse part of this for Todd is that he can no longer hear President Prentiss' Noise.
In New World there was a plague that caused male inhabitants to be able to hear each other's thoughts, along with the thoughts of animals and creatures. This is referred to as Noise, and it only affects males. Females can also hear a male's noise, but produce no Noise themselves. However, in The Ask and the Answer President Prentiss has seemingly taken control of a cure for the noise produced by the people of Haven.
After Mayor Prentiss declares himself President Prentiss he forces Todd into work life and Viola is left with the women healers. President Prentiss ensures that Todd is separated from Viola, and thus Todd spends much of his time worrying about her. The lady healers begin to form a resistance against President Prentiss called The Answer which leads to continuous bombings in the town. The women manage to flee and thus President Prentiss creates an order named The Ask. This leads to a war between the two factions; leaving Todd and Viola caught in the middle.
What stands out about this book versus the first is that you really get a sense of Todd and Viola maturing. The obstacles presented between them are strenuous and their reactions really shape their character. It's also nice that the book switches between the perspective of both Todd and Viola frequently as the first book was mainly Todd's own perspective. But although Todd and Viola are the main characters a couple other relationships in particular standout.
Buy this Book (US)
The exchanges between Todd and antagonist President Prentiss are phenomenal. There's no denying that Todd is willing to rebel against President Prentiss at a moment's notice to unite with Viola, but at times Todd is obedient to the President, almost like a son. This comes into play in a big way as the President's real son Davy is tasked with being in charge of Todd while they work. This is another interesting relationship to experience as the two despise each other, but by the end of the book things change in a big way.
Patrick Ness has mastered the art of suspenseful writing, and he can catch you off guard at any point where you think you know where the story is heading. The exchanges between the characters add so much to their characterizations and it makes every character feel relevant to the story. At no point was there characters you didn't care about, and you can clearly understand the motivations of the antagonising characters.
Furthermore, the writing itself feels more mature than the first book. The Chaos Walking series is stylised in its writing, particularly when inside the mind of Todd. Todd is illiterate, and his passages are written to reflect his illiteracy. But even these stylistic inclusions feel better placed than they did in book one and this adds to the feeling of Todd becoming older and wiser.
There's much more to say about The Ask and the Answer, but ultimately I feel like detailing every positive will take away from the beauty of reading it yourself. If I had one gripe with the book then it would be the inclusion of a possible love triangle. This possible love triangle doesn't play out in full, but I fear that it may in book three. If so, then it feels like the inclusion of a love triangle may be a consciously placed story device to appease the target audience. Regardless, I highly recommend reading both The Knife of Never Letting Go and The Ask and the Answer; and I hope that the third book is just as good as its predecessors.

The Boise WaterShed's messages are emulated through the captivating works of art in and around the center. In 2001, the Boise City Council and Mayor passed a landmark "Percent-for-Arts" ordinance, committing up to 1.4% of eligible municipal capital projects for public art. Through this fund, local, regional, and national artists have captured iconic and symbolic messages about our watershed. View the video to see the story behind the artwork and how each piece is integral to the Boise WaterShed's mission.
H2O from Zero to 1 MillionBy Diane Ronayne
These photographic images and words convey the artist's response to our impact on the water cycle and to the population growth in the Treasure Valley — expected to reach 1 million in 2030 — that has generated the need for water treatment.
Waters PastBy Amy Westover
The exterior concrete wall on the Education Center building becomes a receptive surface itself recording the lines or rings left around a reservoir and drawing visitors' attention to the presence or absence of water.
ConfluenceBy Amy Westover
The use of old pipes from the wastewater treatment plant junkyard take on a new life by delivering water for drinking and washing. They stand as a reminder to the vast infrastructure of pipes that connect our city while shedding light on the importance of recycling and reuse.
EnviroGuard Pipe TreeBy Irene Deeley
The Pipe Tree honors past and future recipients of the EnviroGuard Environmental Protection Award. The branches of this 14-foot tall pipe tree terminate with water faucets to represent our individual responsibility for conservation.
Wind TranslatorBy Patrick Zentz
Three exterior windmill sculptures read and translate wind direction into electronic data. The data is then used to activate acoustic instruments that are hanging as a chandelier in the Gallery.
Windows into Wet LandBy Amy Westover
The Gallery glass windows look at our watershed through satellite infrared photography that maps how water is used on the land. Changing the colors and depicting neighborhoods, farmland and the Boise River, visitors get a sense of how water intersects with the landscape and our lives.

Eddie And Ernie
Time Waits For No One
I Believe She Will
"Time Waits For No One" was our favourite in the 60's from this great Soul duo Eddie and Ernie: Eddie Campbell and Ernie Johnson. The Duo used to be the opening act for Ike And Tina Turners review. But although Ike and Tina did appear at the Twisted Wheel saddle y Eric and Ernie did'nt.
Kev Roberts puts "I Can't Do It" at 260 on his Top 500 of Northern Soul.
Eddie and Ernie – Lost Friends CD Review
Deep soul music is I guess about expressing the most vivid and intense of emotions. So, at one extreme, you almost expect to absorb the deepest soul music when, well, when you feel as if your head's exploding as you struggle to make sense of the thoughts clouding your brain; the yearning chewing at your insides; the throbbing in your chest; the raw ache in your bones.
So, that was Monday, the Monday after the storms, the day my copy of Lost Friends by Eddie & Ernie arrived. Appropriately enough, for soul doesn't come any deeper, and god I was in a mess. Today I am calmer, almost relaxed, and Eddie & Ernie still make a special sense, and hit the spot.
The spot, yes the spot where when a piece of music touches and connects something crumbles inside and an astonishing relief is felt. Yes, that's the clich.
Well said, on the sleeve notes; and that's certainly why this duo in 1963 got onto Roger Eagle's decks at the Brazennose Street Twisted Wheel.

The number one ranked player in the world, Jason Day, announced on Instagram that he has signed with Nike to provide him with his apparel. The link between Day and Tiger Woods, now both at Nike and both playing TaylorMade drivers (at least), makes that Tiger buying TaylorMade rumor seem a little more interesting.
Via PGATOUR: "Joining Nike is a dream come true," Day said. "The brand is synonymous with the world's best athletes. I'm honored and can't wait to be part of the team and working closely with Nike to take my game, and the sport of golf, to even higher levels."

The state Senate Health and Human Services Committee hearing Wednesday comes as U.S. Senate Republicans plan a vote to block federal aid to the women's health provider. Democrats call it the latest GOP effort to weaken women's health care programs.
Texas is one of a number of Republican-controlled states that have launched investigations after the release this month of videos covertly recorded by an anti-abortion group. Planned Parenthood has said it has done nothing illegal or improper.
Planned Parenthood officials are among those invited to testify before the Texas Senate committee, but it's unclear that they'll accept.

According to NRMA Insurance, the cost of Falcon repairs has gone up the most -- by 28 percent - compared with increases of 10 and 11 percent for the Commodore and Camry respectively.
The insurer tested 46 top-selling models to assess their crash damage in a low-speed impact, the most common type of car crash. It swings a weighted pendulum at 15kmh into the front corner of a stationary car to simulate a crash with a solid object or a nose-to-tail crash in slow-moving traffic.
The previous Falcon cost less than $2000 to fix after such a crash. The current model costs $2948 but remains the cheapest large car.
The Falcon is second outright to the Daewoo Tacuma, the cheapest to fix at $2814, and $350 less than the Holden Commodore.
NRMA Insurance's industry research manager, Robert McDonald, says the new Falcon's increase in weight and higher parts prices contributed to its poorer rating.
"The Falcon has lost its advantage," he says. "Last year it was easily the cheapest car on the market to repair and now it is back with the rest of the competition."
Among the other Australian-built models, Toyota's Camry costs $3860 to fix and the Avalon a not-so-cheap $4304. Mitsubishi's Magna, our No 4 best-seller, lies between the Falcon and Commodore in terms of repair costs, but ranks fourth as a percentage of RRP.
The big improvers are the Subaru Forester and Mazda6, both of which were modified during their development following input from NRMA Insurance.
The Forester is 27 percent cheaper to repair and the Mazda6 is 36 percent cheaper than the model it replaced, the 626.
Small cars are still the most expensive to repair, costing between 20 and 35 percent of their sticker prices. The range for family sedans is 8.5 to 12.7 percent.
Ford's Ka is again the most expensive small car to repair in percentage terms. Its bill increased by 7 percent to $5700 -- or 35.6 percent of its $15,990 RRP.
Holden's Barina has the lowest small-car bill -- $3273, or 18.7 percent of the $17,470 RRP.
Some of the affordable Koreans have startling repair bills. Hyundai's Trajet people-mover costs a whopping $7276 (17.8 percent) to fix and the Daewoo Matiz $3739 (29.3 percent).
Popular small-medium cars such as the Holden Astra, Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla are on par (about 20 percent of RRP) and the Mazda 323 and Nissan Pulsar are the bottom of the class at about 30 percent.

Cost rise warning on crash-test dummies
By Toby Hagon
The Age
Insurance costs for Australia's three most popular cars could rise to meet higher repair costs, according to Victoria's biggest insurer, RACV.
The latest RACV crash-test results reveal that Australia's three best-selling cars, the Holden Commodore, Ford Falcon and Toyota Camry, are more expensive to repair after a 15kmh crash test than they were last year.
The cost of repairing the new Falcon jumped 28 per cent to $2948. But of the 46 cars tested, the Falcon was the second-cheapest to repair in the large-car class. It also had the lowest repair cost when expressed as a percentage of the purchase price -- at 8.5 percent of the $34,650 pricetag.
The Commodore was less impressive, with a $3313 repair bill, representing 9.8 percent of the purchase price.
The Daewoo Tacuma was the cheapest to repair, at a cost of $2814, followed by the Falcon and the Hyundai Accent ($2969).
The most expensive to repair was the Honda CR-V, which incurred $7409 in damages after the 15kmh impact. Other poor performers were the Renault Scenic ($7342), Toyota RAV4 ($7300) and Hyundai Trajet ($7276).
Typically, smaller cars experienced higher repair costs, which the RACV chief engineer of vehicles, Michael Case, attributed to the design of the cars and the price of parts. "They're physically smaller, so the components are generally closer together," he said.
The RACV said cars that were expensive to repair after an accident could have more expensive insurance premiums.
"Collision repair is one of the main factors used by insurance companies to help individually rate premiums," Mr Case said. "Without proper consideration at the design stage, it is the car owner who ultimately pays through escalating premiums."

Beautiful colours and very pretty daughters you have!
Sweet layout and pretty photos.
this turned out beautiful. My daughter will be 23 this month and she's married and lives far from me too. I can totally relate to how hard that is. But scrapping our memories brings us back to those moments of happy thoughts. Oh and I love the book marks also!
Oh! Love the colors of the papers and the totally ingenious way to do the journalling. What a pretty girls you have.
It's so wonderful and heartfelt how you scrapped these precious wallet photos! My dad kept a photo of my brother and I (as toddlers) FOREVER in his wallet, until it almost disintegrated. I've been thinking of scrapping that pic. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Beautifully done! I love the small circles you used around the edges! I bet that took a long time! Great job on the hand cutting...and the title work with the slice looks great. I don't have a Slice...but it looks like it would be a great tool to have in my "stash"! LOL! Awesome layout!
This is wonderful! I love the tags and your title!

She's a Canadian vlogger and content creator who left TV for the web and never looked back. Launched in 2014, michelleferreri.com is all about being a good person and having fun doing it. MF is parenting, beauty, fashion, philanthropy, and beyond.
The Story Behind MF
A graduate of Trent University and Loyalist College, Michelle thought genetics would be her career path, but accidentally fell into the television industry.
After volunteering for a lifestyle show on TVCogeco, Michelle accepted a part time job with CHEX Television in Peterborough. She quickly climbed the ranks with her try anything attitude. She filled almost every position on air, including weather analyst.
She spearheaded two major format changes and was the driving force behind CHEX DAILY, a live, daily show that many said couldn't be done with the minimal resources provided to the station. The show launched on October 7, 2012 and was a great success.

While at CHEX, Michelle loved field reporting. One of her career highlights was an escorted visit to the Canadian Forces Base, Alert. CFB Alert is the northern most inhabited part of the earth. Michelle flew to the station on a C-17 Globemaster, the Canadian Military's largest plane.
Michelle's biggest passions are her family and connecting with people.
She decided digital storytelling was a career that could allow her to be with her children more. Combining her on-air skills with her production knowledge and editing experience, Michelle wanted to blend her passionate work ethic and family life together as an entrepreneur. She now blogs, vlogs, and provides marketing consulting and training full time.

First of all, I want to thank everyone who participates here with such helpful information. Over the last several months I have gleaned a wealth of information as I've planned our trip to Europe.
My husband, tween daughter and I are traveling to London and Paris in June. I'm trying to nail down our Paris itinerary and I'm having a hard time organizing it. We will be there for 7 days, arriving on a Tuesday and leaving on a Tuesday.
We are staying in an apartment in the St. Germaine area. We love history, art, architecture and gardens. We have never been to Paris before. We really despise crowds so that aspect will be a challenge for us, I think. Here is a rough outline of a possible itinerary with some room for flexibility and down time, I hope.
Tuesday: Arrive from London in the afternoon. Settle into our apartment. Walk a bit...maybe in the Luxembourg gardens. Eat. Get groceries.
Wednesday: 1pm at the Catacombs for a skip the line tour. Eat. Relax. Head for a walk later to the Tuileries...and Louvre to take advantage of its nighttime hours and fewer crowds (we hope).
Thursday: Notre Dame and Saint Chapelle. Seriously thinking about splurging on yet another skip the line tour at 10am which looks like 3.5 hours. Eat. Downtime? Go to the Orsay in the evening as they are open until 9:45 (also in hopes to avoid the crowds).
Friday: sightseeing day. Head out to the Eiffel Tower (no interest in going up it), Trocedero, maybe Napolean's tomb, Arc de Triomphe. Bridges. Maybe some shopping and to eat. Opera House?
Saturday: Versailles. Thinking about just doing the gardens, the trianon, and Marie Antoinette's hamlet as the Chateau lines and crowds inside really don't appeal. But being able to enjoy the picturesque aspects still sound worth the trip. Thoughts?
Sunday: explore the Marais area, go to the Musee Pompidou.
Monday: explore the Latin quarter and the Cluny museum. Maybe the Pantheon.
I know there are a lot of things of great things I've missed. I don't want to pack too much in and maybe I already have. Would love to hear what any of you think. Maybe there are more graceful ways to order and group some of these activities. Maybe there are suggestions on things to avoid, things to consider adding? Restaurants that are particularly awesome? Boating on the Seine at night? I would love any and all input you could give. And thank you in advance for anyone who is kind enough to take the time to read and reply to this.

It is probably too late to get Michael Osman as a tour guide now, but that would have been a great addition. You could still try.
I don't see the Rodin Museum on your list.
One reason I like the DK Eyewitness Guide to Paris is that it DOES group things within an area and adds a graphic map for each area. You might take a look at one.
The street markets are so fun to browse--and being in an apartment, you could actually get some things.
You seem not to have any restaurant plans. I hope you will not eat in all the time.
The Michelin Green Guide to Paris is also invaluable, maybe in planning your trip to the Louvre and Orsay. You will want to pick wings of the Louvre--and not all are open all the time so pick an alternate in case one is.
You haven't mentioned Montmartre and Sacre Coeur and the funicular to get there. I am not a huge fan of Montmartre but for a week, I'd certainly give it a look.
The Seine boat ride would be a must for me and I'd do it the first night just at dusk as the lights are coming up in the buildings and the Eiffel tower. that will be getting late for the Paris evening hours in June.

As an addition to your day in Versailles and considering your desire to avoid crowds, as well as liking gardens, consider the Potager du Roi, the king's vegetable garden, a short walk outside the palace grounds. Google for their website for the hours and location (I'd give you the link but I'm traveling & am without my computer). I actually like it much better than the main gardens but that's highly subjective, I know.

Hi nixiefoo. What is the duration of the Catacombs tour? You could move Arc de Triomphe to that day and insert Rodin Museum in its place if his works are of interest. It is near Invalides.
Have an excellent trip.

When we visited Versailles, we got there just as it opened. It wasn't crowded and you could likely go through the palace quickly. I remembered visiting as a tween and there is something about the Hall of Mirrors that I found very intriguing. If you went on a weekday, it might be less crowded.
Report Abuse
I was thinking the same thing as TDudette and also suggest adding the Arc de Triomphe to your Wednesday plans. The Tuileries end (or begin depending on how you look at it) at the Champs Elysees. The length down to the Arc de Triomphe is a little over a mile.
The Tuileries is not that big and you could walk down one side of the Champs. Visit the Arc de Triomphe and then walk back down the other side of the Champs. Pass through the Tuileries again on your way to the Louvre.
On Thursday, I suggest checking out two good bistros on Ile de Saint Louis - Cafe Med and Au Lys D'argent. They are across the street from each other on Rue Saint-Louis en l'Île.
Bon voyage!

Thank you so much for all your thoughtful and helpful replies.
I probably should put Sacre de Couer on the list. After all the cathedrals we will be seeing in London and then Paris, I purposely left it off the itinerary. But I'm rethinking that decision. And now I'm definitely inclined to book a boat trip! Are there street markets on Sunday in the Marais, I wonder? That may be a good day to browse before going into the Pompidou. And I'm really needing to research restaurants more. We do want to eat out occasionally and hope to have some good dining experiences. I was considering dinner at the restaurant at the Orsay, mostly for the ambience. My daughter wants to try fondue. I'm going to look at the guide you mentioned. Thanks so much @Gretchen!
I'm intrigued and really appreciate your off the beaten path suggestion @MmePerdu.
The Catacombs tour is 2 hours, @Tdudette. Thank you for the suggestion on the Rodin museum and how to organize that day. I had thought to just go home and relax after the tour, eat something and then venture out to the Louvre at 7:30ish but maybe it makes more sense to squeeze in some things on that Wednesday (that we otherwise were going to do on Friday and move our Versailles trip to Friday when it will be a tiny bit less crowded than Saturday). Hmm.
Thank you for your input about Versailles, @KTtravel. I do think it might be a disappointment for my daughter to miss the inside of the Chateau. I'm rethinking my plan.
I really appreciate your input on how to organize that Wednesday, @off2CU. It's helpful to get your perspective on the flow of places and activities. And I especially appreciate your bistro suggestions as I've done very little to figure out good food options. Thanks so much.
Still open to and eager for any other suggestions or thoughts anyone else has. Thanks again!

Consider smaller museums to avoid crowds...Musee Rodin, Musee Marmottan and L'Orangerie are options.
Some favorite restaurants for us in the 6th are Le Comptoir and Marco Polo. Both are near the Odeon metro stop. For gorgeous desserts and all things chocolate, Un Dimanche a Paris is worth a stop. We also enjoy Cafe Varenne, Cafe Danton and Le Bonaparte in the 6th.
We did a food tour with Paris by Mouth that we so enjoyed. We did the St Germain tour. I can't really think of a fondue restaurant in Paris but the Paris by Mouth site is a great resource for restaurants by arrondisement.
Try this for markets and days/hours open...

If your daughter wants to try fondue, you might consider Pain Vin Fromages. It's east of the Pompidou at 3 Rue Geoffroy l'Angevin. Not open til 7pm, and you would really need to make a reservation. But she would probably love it; many people do. (There are menus on the website in four languages.)

Oh yes, L'Orangerie is a delightful museum and doesn't take long to go through. If you like Monet at all, it really is worth seeing his immense Waterlilies there.
Too many good choices in Paris!

I forgot to mention, if you have no desire to go up the Eiffel Tower, you can certainly walk by it in the evening and save your daytime hours for museums. At night, on the hour, the tower shimmers with lights for about 5 minutes and it is fun to see as it glows.
Are you sure your daughter doesn't want to go up the tower? We took elevators up (which were crowded) but then walked down which allowed us to take our time and the stairs weren't crowded at all.

Don't miss a cruise on the Seine. Paris has three big cruise companies:

Bateaux Parisiens: http://www.bateauxparisiens.com
Vedettes du Pont Neuf: http://www.vedettesdupontneuf.com
Some of them have ticket discounts on their website.
Sacre Coeur is certainly a good idea. Less for the church, but for the great city view in front of it. And plan some time to walk around in Montmartre!

I don't know your budget and your tween daughter's willingness to endure elegance, but lunch on the terrace at La Grande Cascade in the Bois de Boulogne is to me a Proustian experience, decadent and Parisian, and off the mobbed tourist trail.

The Sunday open-air food market is held at Bastille. The vendors are ready to start selling by 09h00, and the whole thing starts wrapping up at 13h00. It will only take an hour to walk through and buy a few things, but remember if you buy food, you'll have to carry it back to St Germain. Since most of the same items are sold at the same markets all over town - with the exception of a few organic and specialty items - it might be better to visit the market nearest you.
If you enjoy visiting churches for the architecture and beauty, I don't recommend Sacre Coeur. It is impressive from a distance, but the interior is not worth going out of your way for and the people eating and drinking on the steps leading to the entrance is not impressive, either.
The Seine cruises are easy, as long as you don't plan a dinner cruise, which is expensive and really not good value for the money. You can buy tickets online or go to the ticket window at the dock at Pont Neuf - not far from Notre Dame. Very inexpensive, one-hour tour, returns to the same dock, you can buy drinks at the dock or bring your own. It will probably be brutally hot in June during the day, so I recommend an evening cruise, when it will be cooler. Check to see when the sun sets and book the latest possible tour after that time. You'll get to see all the bridges and monuments illuminated, which is really lovely.

One of the first things to do in Paris is to go to the Montparnasse Tower Observation Deck to get a bird's eye view of Paris. It's inexpensive, fast and allows you to get an overview of the city.
My favourite thing to do in Paris is to see the Eiffel Tower light up from the Trocedero. Magical.

If you dislike crowds you might move your visit to Versailles from Saturday to Friday or Monday. It will still be crowded but hopefully less so than the weekend. My husband and I spent most of an afternoon on bicycles in the garden and hit the palace late in the afternoon. It wasn't so bad.
That said I would visit Vaux le Vicomte instead of Versailles. http://www.vaux-le-vicomte.com/en/ Vaux le Vicomte inspired Versailles and is so much less crowded.

I always like what's on at Fondation Cartier. They have good live programmes too, often very busy, but see what you can get.
Also: tea at the Paris Mosque (there's a hammam there too, with generous opening times for women)
Lunch or dinner at the IMA rooftop restaurant with a great view over Marais towards Montmartre and over Notre Dame and Ile St Louis.
Also Buttes Chaumont to see the synchronized gym classes that elderly Chinese ladies do there and the park itself of course.
Canal St Martin early evening when everyone is having their apéro beside the Canal.

Oh my goodness. I am so glad I came here to ask for your input and am delighted with all of your thoughtful responses. I have taken many notes.
I'm switching Versailles to Friday. We are definitely going to stop by Musee Rodin and L'Orangerie. And we got advance tickets for a river cruise. I can't wait. It feels impossible to get to everything on our list but I'm glad to have all these great options. I hope we strike the right balance of having a well-planned itinerary that allows some flexibility and serendipity along the way. Thank you SO much.
Now I'm struggling with our London itinerary (what horrible problems I have! so I may start another thread for that.
Hopefully I can return the favor with my own input and suggestions for other travelers someday...

The nicest thing is playing hooky from your schedule to just choose a crossroads "tabac" or brasserie off the large streets somewhere. And drink coffee for hours. Just a little unscheduled pleasure. Your sightseeing day: take public buses!

Try not to schedule too rigidly. Be ready to exchange day plans due to weather. The Ste Chapelle and Notre Dame need a sunny day for the stained glass. You don't want to walk around the grounds of Versailles in the rain. The Ste Chapelle and the Museum of the Middle Ages at Cluny can have concerts some days that you may want to check out. Consider taking a ride on the tethered balloon at the Parc Andre-Citroen (it goes as high as the Eiffel Tour). My three favorite Paris museums are the Rodin, Cluny, and Picasso (although I have not seen its new incarnation).

We had a wonderful dinner at Au Piano Muet at 48 rue Mouffetard. It is a raclette/fondue restaurant with other offerings. Their house salad with chicken livers lives in my memory of greats. Very reasonable and pleasant service.
