Quarter-final picture complete

All-time Heineken Cup Try-scorers
The line-up for this season's Heineken Cup quarter-finals is complete following a thrilling final weekend of pool action.
Harlequins will tackle Munster, Clermont Auvergne will face Montpellier, Toulon will play host to Leicester and Saracens will take on Ulster when the competition resumes on the first weekend of April.
The draw for the semi-finals has also been made with the winner of the Saracens/Ulster game set to tackle the winner of the Toulon/Leicester clash. The winner of the Clermont Auvergne/Montpellier quarter-final will play host to the winner of the Harlequins/Munster tie.
Harlequins kicked off the final round of pool action with a 16-9 victory over Biarritz in their Pool 3 clash on Friday night - a win that proved good enough to claim top seeding. Hot on their heels were Clermont Auvergne who progressed unbeaten having swept the Scarlets aside 29-0 in their Pool 5 encounter in Llanelli.
Toulon also claimed a home tie in the last eight despite their 23-3 defeat to Montpellier thanks to their superior try count. Montpellier were rewarded with one of the two quarter-final places on offer to the two best runners-up. The other was taken Munster who swept to a 29-6 victory over Racing Metro in their clash at Thomond Park on Sunday.
Pool 1 leaders Saracens booked their place in the knock-out stages with a 40-7 mauling of Edinburgh in their clash at Vicarage Road. Their bonus point victory was also enough for them to climb into the top four of the seedings and secure a home tie in the last eight.
Ulster sounded out a warning to their title rivals by notching their first ever Heineken Cup win on French soil - a narrow 9-8 victory over Pool 4 rivals Castres at the Stade Pierre-Antoine on Saturday. The result left them in line for a home tie but their failure to secure a bonus point proved costly with Saracens eventually pipping them to that honour.
Leicester completed the quarter-final picture with a hard-fought 9-5 victory over Toulouse at a wintry Welford Road to top Pool 2 and keep their hopes of a third title alive. Three penalties from fly-half Toby Flood proved the key for the hosts with their French rivals having to settle for a place in the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals.
Defending champions Leinster kept their euro campaign alive with a 29-20 victory over Exeter in a crucial Pool 5 showdown on Saturday but their hopes were eventually dashed by Munster. Leinster will also have to settle for a place in the second tier Challenge Cup where they will also be joined by Biarritz.
Elsewhere in Pool 3, Connacht wrapped up their European campaign with a 25-20 victory over Zebre in Galway. In the other clash in Pool 4, Glasgow ended Northampton's hopes with a dramatic 27-20 victory at Scotstoun Stadium that also robbed the Saints of a place in the knock-out stages of the Amlin Challenge Cup.
Cardiff Blues heaped further woe on Premiership side Sale with a 26-14 victory in their dead rubber at the Arms Park - their first victory in their Pool 6 campaign. And Treviso also got off the mark with a last-gasp 17-14 victory over Ospreys at the Stadio Comunale di Monigo on Sunday.

Leather Furniture Expo
I'm considering purchasing a sofa by Elite Leather, but there are no dealers in my area. I've found a website called Leather Furniture Expo that sells Elite Leather products. This website seems to be run by a store called Collier's out of the Orlando, FL area. Does anyone have experience with the Leather Furniture Expo website or Collier's? Can you tell me if you were satisfied with their customer service?
Have to say we were really impressed. We purchased from them in August. They said 4 to 6 weeks to ship and it did. We received weekly updates along the way. People there were all very nice...answered all of our questions and sent free samples of the leather.
Yes, I did purchase the sofa and I'm very pleased both with the sofa by Elite Leather and with the service by Leather Furniture Expo. I've purchased from Elite before, so I knew that they produce high quality furniture. Leather Furniture was attentive to my questions and made sure that the process went as smoothly as possible. I would recommend both and would use them again.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
04 Oct 2010 05:55 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Germany, Lebanon, Syria
Syria has issued arrest warrants for more than 30 people accused of misleading an investigation into the assassination of Lebanon's former prime minister, according to a Syrian lawyer.
A judge in Damascus made the order on Sunday after repeated state summons for the people concerned were ignored, lawyer Fasih al-Ashi told The Associated Press news agency.
Al-Ashi represents Jamil al-Sayyed, a former Lebanese army general, who was one of four pro-Syrian officers jailed without charge for nearly four years in connection with the 2005 slaying of Rafiq Hariri.
Al-Sayyed was arrested shortly after the February 2005 bombing which killed Hariri and 22 others.
The special tribunal investigating the attack ordered his release last year because of lack of evidence.
Al-Sayyed then filed the suit against people he said misled the investigation. He brought the case against them in Syria because he said he did not trust Lebanon's judiciary, which he has accused of supporting "false witnesses".
In a statement issued on Sunday, his office said those on Syria's wanted list included senior Lebanese judges, politicians and journalists.
One of them is Detlev Mehlis, a German prosecutor who led the early stages of the UN investigation into Hariri's killing, the statement said.
Heightened tensions
The warrants are unlikely to be executed outside of Syria.
Syria's warrants come amid heightened tensions and an escalating political crisis in Lebanon, stoked by the possibility that the Netherlands-based court probing the Hariri slaying could indict some Hezbollah members in the case.
Ashraf Rifi, the Lebanese police chief and one of the 33 people named by al-Sayyed's office, dismissed al-Sayyed's announcement.
"We will work to prevent the implementation of these warrants, which violate... Lebanese sovereignty," he told the Reuters news agency.
Both Syria and Hezbollah deny any involvement in the killing and say the UN investigation has been politicised and poisoned by fabricated evidence.
Tensions have increased over media reports that the indictments could be issued as early as this month.

"Fascinating and maddening"
The information Dana Priest reveals through her relentless journalistic efforts is not found elsewhere (at least compiled so completely).
Learning about the addition of 30+ new and specific intelligence agencies within months of 9/11, and scores more in the decade since, and how this information is barely known by anyone, including the taxpayers paying for them.
I've heard Dana Priest being interviewed before (on The Diane Rehm Show, for example), so her delivery of her own material was consistent with her style and fine with me. She speaks slowly and deliberately, which apparently bothered other listeners, but it didn't bother me much.
I found this book intersting from beginning to end. The material Dana Priest uncovered is also profoundly frustrating. There's got to be a better way for America to stay safe.

Minnesota employers worried about keeping competitive edge
Minnesota employers are more optimistic about the economy than they have been in recent years. At the same time, as business optimism returns to pre-recession levels in Minnesota, employers are concerned that the costs of doing business in Minnesota may slow continued economic growth.
These findings highlight the 10th annual Minnesota Business Barometer Survey, co-sponsored by the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and Himle Rapp and Company.

Fox is scaling back its commitment to a new comedy series from the creators of How I Met Your Mother.
Midseason sitcom The Goodwin Games has halted production after the network reduced its order from 13 episodes to 7. The show is from HIMYM's Craig Thomas and Carter Bays along with Chris Harris, and stars Scott Foley and Becki Newton as estranged siblings who return home after their father's death and learn his $23 million inheritance can only be obtained by playing an elaborate game of Trivial Pursuit.
A Fox spokesperson attributed the change to the network's abundance of half-hour comedy material this season, having previously ordered 24 episodes of Raising Hope, New Girl and The Mindy Project, along with 18 episodes of Ben and Kate. The network still plans to air the seven The Goodwin Games episodes sometime this spring.

All Book Reviews
Many people do not realize that the Godfather movies are actually based on Mario Puzo's book. Most people are familiar with the plot of The Godfather, it is a novel that follows the Corleone family as they live a Mafia life. What many people may not realize is that this book is about people like themselves, dealing with issues of family, love and business, just probably not the family, love and business situations they have experienced. You may think you know the story from watching the movies, but until you read the book, you have no idea how much more complete the story can be. If you are having withdrawal symptoms now that the Sopranos is off the air, I think The Godfather will more than satisfy you. Also available in Audio Format and on DVD.
This is a great effort of singer/songwriter Josh Ritter's first novel. If you've ever listened to his music, the novel is reminiscent of his songwriting. It's quite beautiful, yet very down-to-earth. It is a strange journey of a man named Bright, his horse, and his newborn son who could very possibly be the next saviour of heaven. There are angels, war, love, and vengeance. He keeps you guessing the whole way through.
It may be North Carolina, but it sure ain't Mayberry, in Wiley Cash's powerfully written debut. Instead, we get secrets, snake handlers and tragedy that ripples forward and back in all the character's lives. A great first effort from a writer to watch!
An extraordinary book written about a beautifully illustrated codex that survived over 500 years. A rare book conservator goes to Sarajevo to report on the book and make repairs to it. Within the pages, she finds an insect wing, missing clasps, a drop of salt, a wine stain, and a white hair. Sprinkled throughout the modern story of this woman trying to find out what happened to the book, a love story, and much political intrigue, you are also taken back through the books' history to find out where these clues came from. If you have enjoyed books such as "Girl in Hyacinth Blue" by Susan Vreeland, you will enjoy this book. Also available in Audio Format (CDs) and Large Print.
If you are looking for a fun cozy mystery, this is a great book for you! You will meet a wonderfully spunky aristocrat named Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie who is 34th in line for the throne, but completely broke. She travels to London to find a job, but instead ends up finding a dead body in her bathtub (who is coincidentally trying to take her brothers' ancestral home in Scotland). A fast and hilarious read. Also available in Large Print.
This great, little book is packed with transformative insight. With the author's lighthearted, down to earth style, she encourages us to take a bold leap toward a new, positive way of living in a troubled world.
A fantastic read for teens and adults. It's written as letters to an anonymous reader, by a boy who is learning all about life. The boy, Charlie, is shy and emotional and just entering high school, when he meets two people that change his life. It's a great perspective and a very touching story. I recommend reading it before watching the movie!
A fascinating look into the mind of a woman with multiple personality disorder. The difference is that this book is written through the eyes of the psychiatrist, Dr. Richard Baer. He worked with Karen Overhill for many years to meld her seventeen distinct personalities back into one. He includes snippets of letters that each of the personalities wrote, as well as a drawing that one of them made with portraits of each personality. The story of how each of the personalities came into being is heartbreaking, and when Karen reveals the extent of the abuse that she suffered at the hands of her father and grandfather and their friends, the stories are chilling. If you are fascinated by psychology and the way that the mind works, this book is a must read.
A starkly compelling book with a memorable teenage protaganist, Irena, a very modern non-traditional Muslim girl. She loves Madonna, western fashion and basketball. In fact, she's a star on her high school basketball team. Until the spring of 1992 when the Serbian army brutalizes Muslims in Sarajevo and Irena, her parents and her pet bird must flee across the river to relative safety. Life becomes quite tenuous and dangerous. Irena steals to survive until a chance meeting leads her to a job. Eventually she is recruited to be a sniper. This is not an easy book to read but the author is a journalist who covered the civil war and writes with some authority on the subject. Also available in Audio Format.
So you think you remember what you learned about the discovery of the new world and the people who got here first. From the Vikings in the far north to the Spanish in the Caribbean. You'll travel with the author as he retraces (to the best of his ability & the information from old journals and other records) the journey of these men in the new world. Along the way he not only discovers these early explorers and native Americans but some very interesting contemporary Americans. This is history at it's best. Entertaining and educational. Also available in Large Print and Audio Format (CD).
This is a beautiful, funny and touching book about a woman going through the wedding preparations of her eldest son. Complicating matters include her future in-laws, her recent diagnosis of adult ADD, her floundering youngest son, and most of all, her ex-husband's new girlfriend, who decides that she will take over the mother of the groom role. I thought this book was very enjoyable. Also available in Large Print.
In this terribly suspenseful novel our heroine moves to Forks, Washington to live with her father. She is in a new high school, and finds herself the center of attention. She only has eyes for the beautiful and mysterious Edward, however. What is his secret? Can he return her love despite his family's history, and the torment of Bella's scent? Also available in Audio Format and as an eBook. Read it and find out!
The author of this debut novel set in 1860s northern Ontario Canada is from Scotland. She has never been to Canada but so credibly evokes the icy cold desolate landscape that many very familiar with the area could not believe she had not been there. The novel is a mystery, suspense, poignant love story, historical fiction character filled wonder. A murder sets the story in motion and sends several of the characters on long arduous treks through the wilderness in winter. They endure snow, wind, freezing temperatures, wolves, bogs and blistered feet. Numerous characters including native Indians, Hudson Bay Company men, settlers and trappers and all their story lines converge in the end without seeming forced or rushed. The book won the prestigious Costa Award for first novels.
Interesting characters! A novel with a beginning, middle, and satisfying ending. Matrimony starts when the characters begin their freshman year at a small college in Massachusetts, but this is not a party-hearty college kids story. The characters grow and Henkin keeps introducing new information about their past that contributes to the progress of the plot rather than making the reader feel like he/she is lost in a time warp. The irony of the plot is that the main character is a writer who is writing a novel...
A very unusual crime mystery! Takes place in Ireland. A flock of sheep find their shepherd murdered and go about solving the crime. Very funny at times, poignant, and surprisingly suspenseful. Lots of red herrings. You have to think like a sheep to read this book. Also available in Large Print.
I've been very lucky recently to have found quite a few very good books. This book is no exception. It is very well written. I loved Zippy's voice and the way the author manages to convey the thoughts of a child believably.
I loved this book. I thought it was really well written and paced. I grew attached to the characters and found in each one flaws that were sympathetic. I was satisfied with the ending, even. I saw the movie and really enjoyed it as well. Also available in Audio Format and as a DVD.
This book is amazing. The author has a powerful voice and through all the events in her life she remains humble. Ali is a very brave woman who is not afraid to speak her mind. Some of the things she went through were so profoundly disturbing that I had a hard time continuing to read (especially while eating). I loved her strength and willingness to question and examine every aspect of her life.
This is an absolutely beautiful story of a small kitten who was left in a book-drop on a freezing morning of the Spencer Public Library, and ended up becoming not only the library mascot, but a source of pride for the small town. Dewey's personality shines through in this touching memoir written by the former library director. Not only do you learn about Dewey, you also get a peek into the history of the small farming town of Spencer, Iowa. Also available in Large Print.
I'm not sure why I picked this book up, but I'm really glad I did. The subject matter; a man's life long commitment to documenting a quickly disappearing language; might not sound interesting but it is! There is so much more to the story of Yona Sabar. The diaspora of the Kurdish Jewish population was the opposite of what we commonly understand. Instead of being sent out of the Jewish state they were removed to the Jewish state. The transition was difficult in many ways including economic, cultural and socially. But for a 12 year old boy in 1951 who loved his home in Zakho where he fit into a larger community of Jews, Muslims and Christians it was especially difficult. The transition to Israel was even more difficult for his parents. He eventually found his place; they never really did. The relocation paved the way for his move to America where he built a successful life. His son, Ariel, was typical of children born to immigrants. He was embarrased by his father and didn't understand his ways at all. Through a long struggle with many ups and downs the man and his son build a strong relationship. They travel back to Zakho together and to Israel. These trips provided a basis for understanding that finally helped the son understand his father and his bigger family. A very human story and pertinent now with the immigration issues facing America.
If you've ever found yourself spending "quality time" with your family or friends while you check your email on your iPhone, your teen checks Facebook on her iPad, and your friend reads the news on his Android, this book may give you something to think about. As the digital age sparks increasing debate about what new technologies and increased connectivity are doing to our brains, comes this thought provoking examination of what our iPods and iPads are doing to our relationships. In this third in a trilogy that explores the relationship between humans and technology, Turkle argues that people are increasingly functioning without face-to-face contact. She interviewed high school students, computer programmers, young professionals, and people of the pre-Internet generation asking them about their use of technology and its effect on their lives. For all the talk of convenience and connection derived from texting, e-mailing, and social networking, Turkle found dissatisfaction and alienation among users: teenagers whose identities are shaped not by self-exploration but by how they are perceived by the online collective, mothers who feel texting makes communicating with their children more frequent yet less substantive, Facebook users who feel shallow status updates devalue the true intimacies of friendships. Turkle's book makes a strong case that what was meant to be a way to facilitate communications has pushed people closer to their machines and further away from each other.
Great book! The story is about a girl named Hazel who has cancer and she meets a guy named Augustus in a support group. It's a sad story in a way, but it's also story about love and hope. I really liked this book! Keep a box of tissues handy!
The book id very good and helped me alto.
Every 15 years, major issues crop up in the lives of the Slocumb women. The author writes from three points of view, highlighting the trials and tribulations of three different generations of women as they overcome life obstacles.
The books about this kindergartner and then first grader may be funny, but they do not help any child learn or improve in reading. Junie B. Jones is disrespectful and says things that her parents don't like. I read these when I was about six or so and will never forget them. I colored the "bad words"
(stupid, dumb, hate, etc.) over in black!

Nova Scotia Blogs
Places in Between: Nova Scotia's Sugar Woods
When spring is in the air, the maple starts to flow in Nova Scotia and that means a road trip for your sweet tooth.
Snowshoeing At Oakfield Provincial Park
After the February Blizzard of 2013, I decided to grab my snowshoes and head out for a quick trek at Oakfield Provincial Park.
Bunny, Chickadee & Robin
The first time I went downhill skiing was when I was about 10 years old on a grade 5 class trip to Ski Martock. The only exposure to the sport that I had prior to that was what I had watched on CBC sports. After literally being drug up the hill clinging to the t-bar I chose to totally disregard the snow plow technique taught to us in our group lesson and I proceeded to shoot down the hill the way I saw the pros do it on TV. It felt like the steepest and longest bunny hill ever! But thankfully I had mastered the fine art of wiping out at a young age and managed to survive my first skiing experience to try a few more times before reaching my mid-twenties.
White Point
I visited White Point Beach Resort on the evening of Monday, February 25th and on Tuesday the 26th for meetings and had the opportunity to enjoy a spectacular sunset, moonrise, sunrise and sunshine all day long. The beach is a beautiful sight from the conference room and well worth the visit.
Winter Hiking Option at Pomquet Acadian Trails
I decided to take the drive up to the Pomquet area, specifically to Monks Head to hike the local trails. We parked the car at Chez Deslauriers and checked out the trail map.
The general area was settled by George Monk in 1784, the home that sits on top of the hill was moved to its current location sometime after the 1860's.
Long Johns and the Ultimate Hill
It's funny that when I think of thrilling adventure in Nova Scotia, images of tidal river rafting, zip-lining, kayaking, surfing and even snowboarding come to mind. A recent outing reminded me of another equally exciting activity that should be added to this list!
Winter Hiking Option in Gully Lake and Pancakes!
With snow on the ground, there are many hiking adventures that can be tackled. A recommended winter hike would be our late October adventure to the Gully Lake Wilderness Area. This is almost 4,000 hectares of hardwoods and mixed forests. We decided to bring the dogs with us and do one of the shorter hiking loops; Sandy Cope Trail.
Our main goal was to hike for about two hours and drive 5km to nearby Sugar Moon Farms to enjoy some pancakes and maple syrup. A small reward for our adventure.
Year-round cycling
Outlandish as it seems, there's a place in the province where you could be shovelling your driveway one day and within the next 24-hours find yourself swinging onto the seat of your bike. Warm snaps are not uncommon during January and February in South West Nova Scotia.
Santa lives in Yarmouth
Those in the rest of the world believe Santa spends his days at the North Pole but residents in Yarmouth County can tell you where the "real Santa" lives. The time has come to share the secret.
Slurp'n'Surf Sessions
Sometimes the video does all the talking - this is one of those times. An amazing weekend at the point break of Lawrencetown Beach a few weeks back. A big group of surfers, kayakers, wind surfers, all hit the waves. Days like this are why I love Nova Scotia.

Dubai has been named among a global list of the top 20 cities with most billionaires.
The ranking, compiled by UK-based Wealthinsight, placed Dubai in 18th position with a total of 11 billionaires based in the city.
Dubai was the only Middle East city named in the list which was topped by New York with 70 billionaire residents.
Moscow was placed second (64), followed by London (54), Hong Kong (40) and Beijing (29).
Wealthinsight also produced rankings for cities with the most millionaire residents. This list was topped by Tokyo with a total of 461,000 millionaires living in the city as of last year.
The Japanese city was followed by New York (389,000) and London (281,000).
The English capital topped a third list produced by the company which ranked cities by numbers of multi-millionaires (more than $30m).
It said London had 4,224 multi-millionaires compared to Tokyo (3,525) and Singapore (3,154).
Wealthinsight provides detailed data and analysis on the world's high net worth individuals (HNWI) and wealth sector.
Last month, the Qatar Financial Centre Authority (QFCA) said that the Gulf state is home to 12 billionaires who hold $17bn in assets between them.
Last year, a report by Capgemini and RBC Wealth Management said the Middle East was the only region in the world where the wealth of high net worth individuals (HNWIs) grew in 2011.
The size of the HNWI population in the region gained by 2.7 percent in 2011 to 0.5 million, while wealth witnessed an increase by 0.7 percent to $1.7trn, the report said.
It added that the UAE witnessed a 3.7 percent drop in HNWI population due to the effects of the real estate crisis in Dubai and the impact of other factors such as the Eurozone crisis.
The report said the Middle East had 4,000 ultra-HNWIs in 2011 - people with $30m in investable assets or with a disposable income of more than $20m - making up 0.9 percent of the HNWI population.

Here's a taste.Ultra-traditionalist Catholics don't get a pass on this any more than "Catholics for Choice".

Women Want Romance and Men Want Sex, Right? Not So Fast…
It has been a truism in both secular and Christian culture that "women want romance and men want sex" or "women give sex to get love and men give love to get sex." I have always HATED these sentiments because, although I know they ring true for many they have NEVER rung true for me. I am, personally, a big fan of love, romance, sex and everything that has to do with marriage and, frankly, I am more the man for it. Beyond my personal experience, however, this message has always seemed inco … [Read more...]

Is No-Sex the New Sex?
That's the title of an article at The Science of Relationships.The article itself covers a few different topics related to this theme, but the thing that struck me was a recognition by secular professionals that a lack of chastity (not the way they put it, of course, but still) is bad for relationships. To put it in their language, the longer a couple delays the onset of sexual activity, the more likely the relationship will be long lasting and exclusive.Delaying the onset of sexual … [Read more...]

I was wondering if it was possible to get a "compiler constant" inside a class?
What I meant with [Compiler constant] is the kind of constant that works with case statement or #defined or likes Enums and not just a Read-Only.
I have a base class that looks like
template<typename> class IBaseComponent :public BaseComponent { public: const unsigned int getType() { return typeID; } static const unsigned int typeID; };
I have a Derived class
class TransformComponent: public IBaseComponent<TransformComponent> { public: TransformComponent(); //Relative to the Window Vector2<int> position; //Pixel count and not Multiply Vector2<int> size; //Yet TBD Vector2<int> rotation; };
.cpp const unsigned int IBaseComponent<TransformComponent>::typeID = 1000;//<-- The nr doesnt matter
The reason why I "need" a compiler const is that I need it for a switch statement
for(std::map<int,BaseComponent*>::const_iterator it = t->GetComponents()->begin(); it != t->GetComponents()->end(); it++) { switch(it->second->getType()) { { break; } } }
Like so, but case statement seems to require constant that is known when compiling/Linking. A alternative method to switch is that I can just use
for(std::map<int,BaseComponent*>::const_iterator it = t->GetComponents()->begin(); it != t->GetComponents()->end(); it++) { if(it->second->getType() == IBaseComponent<TransformComponent>::typeID) { //Do stuffs } }
But for my curiosity, is the a way to make it work?
enum test { a }; const unsigned int IBaseComponent<TransformComponent>::typeID = test::a; <--- tried to do this but to no avail

"The overwhelming majority of people do not agree with hate speeches. They want normalisation, they want peace, they want growth, they want development", he said.
Pakistan has virtually ruled out barring Jamaat-ud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, mastermind of the Mumbai terror attack of 2008, from giving inflammatory speeches targetting India.
"In a democracy, there is freedom of expression in Pakistan as in India. There are all sorts of people making all kinds of speeches. There are people with extremist views in both India and Pakistan.... and there is nothing you can do about it. There are views being expressed in Pakistan that I can do nothing about," Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told reporters here last night.
He, however, said the "positive" thing is that the views of extremist elements do not reflect that of the majority opinion either in India or in Pakistan.
"The overwhelming majority of people do not agree with hate speeches. They want normalisation, they want peace, they want growth, they want development", he said.
Asked if the tone laid down in Bhutan after the meeting between Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh and Yousuf Raza Gilani on the margin of SAARC summit yielded fruits, Mr. Qureshi said: "I think there is progress".
He said the fact that Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao visited Pakistan and met her Pakistani counterpart, that Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram came to Pakistan and had "candid discussion" with his Pakistani counterpart "I consider this progress".
In this context, Mr. Qureshi also cited his meeting with Mr. Chidambaram discussing issues of concern.

Abe Darby is a Beauty
organic_kitten(8)May 13, 2011
I bought this one as a band from Heirloom. It tried to die, and I took it into the house and had it under lights and the cooler air. It gradually recovered.
I planted it in the fall, and it hasn't looked back. It has bloomed well, and is growing at a tremendous rate.
Today, I decided to take a pi of a few of its blooms:
Thanks so much for looking and commenting on my pic. ...Abe likes it so far, Ingrid, but he may not be so happy when full summer comes...it won't be dry, but it will be hot. He is growing so much and he has been blooming so nicely, I love it.
He's definitely gorgeous, Kay. So glad your extra effort got him through his rough period.

Update on Concern Over Punk's Health, Stars at Hockey Game, Sheamus
by Staff - February 15, 2013
- Justin Gabriel was with injured WWE stars Hunico and Evan Bourne at last night's Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game:
– Sheamus is making the media rounds in New Orleans this morning to promote Sunday's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. If you catch one of his TV or radio appearances today, please feel free to send in a recap.
– There is definitely a concern with WWE that CM Punk is beat up and more hurt than he's letting on. WWE officials will likely keep him protected as much as possible between now and WrestleMania 29.

It is a pleasure to walk through these green and verdant areas that bring to life many great periods in Nancy's past; enjoyable, very varied and surprising visits for all.
In 1765, Stanislas gave orders for royal plant nurseries to be laid out along the city's ramparts. Originally created to raise trees to be planted along the main roads in Lorraine, it consists of 16 beds. In 1835 the royal nurseries were transformed into a public park, but the original layout was retained.

Old Town
This refers to the town which expanded rapidly in the Middle Ages around the Duke's castle. In the XVIth the most modern defensive walls and bastions of the period were built to protect it.
Nothing remains of them today except for a small part of the walls discovered during the renovation of the Fine Arts Museum. The extensive restoration work carried out over the last 15 years makes it one of the high points of Nancy's heritage.

Having been satiated with architectural sights of Nancy I came into a small zoo. Lovely and trustful animals allowed me to have a superb rest before the next excursion.

Sacre Coeur Church
Out of our plans, this church peeping over Majorelle Villa's shoulder, attracted us by its exotic look.
We visited it and discovered that it is a new (100 years old) Roman-Byzantine church, inspired in the Sacre-Coeur in Paris.
Large, with a nice interior with great stained glasses.

St Georges Gate
Close to the cathedral and far from the old town, this door seems out of context, without any connection with the old ramparts.
It seems that Victor Hugo had to help Émile Galé, to save it from destruction in the 19Th century.

San Sebastian church
Integrated in a modern quarter, this baroque church of the 18th century faces a popular market, showing a different look of the city, closer to the common European cities.
Built in 1593 the church suffered several transformations, the hardest one during the revolution, when it was transformed in a warehouse for straw. Returning to religious use in 1801, it keeps the Baroque style from the works in the 18th century.

Protestant Church
In Maginot Square, surrounded by some good examples of Nancy's art nouveau, there's an interesting temple, identified as "protestant". I don't know its story, but it's funny to notice in its facade the niches created to hold images of the saints, left... empty, as a result of the protestant concepts (I think!).
No doubt, we are facing an "adoption" of a catholic temple (I think, again!).

Stanislas Door
Confusing, is what I can say.
Looking Roman, in the decoration, I cannot connect this door from the 18th century to Stanislas.
My fault, of course!
In the way to/from the train station, evidencing the signs of the intense traffic that crosses it, it doesn´t make justice to what is expecting you at the end of the street.

Domremy: this...
Domremy: this idyllically-located spot is one of the most famous sites in Lorraine, for it was here that Joan of Arc, later St. Joan, was born in 1412. Many sights commemorate the life and influence of this French heroine.
One of the highlights of a visit is the house where Joan of Arc was born, which gives an authentic impression of a 15th-century farmer's residence.
Joan's brief life and the historical situation of the time are accurately depicted in the tiny museum.
The neighbouring church contains the 12th-century font at which she was baptised.
The Bois Chenu was where the 13-year-old Joan heard the voices that informed her of her political mission.
The neo-Gothic Basilique nationale du Bois-Chenu, built between 1891 and 1926, is now a much-visited place of pilgrimage.

The following is the original explanation of the flower mosaic :
Les progrès du 20e siècle
La mosaïque florale est l'art d'utiliser les végétaux pour composer des motifs précis. Son origine vient très probablement des parterres de broderie végétale des jardins de la Renaissance.
Cette mosaïque de l'an 2000 présente quelques avancées marquantes du siècle qui s'achève : la conquête de l'espace, l'électricité, le téléphone, l'aviation, l'environnement, l'atome, la mécanique et l'automobile. Sa composition a nécessité plus de 4000 plantes.
L'entretien, le nettoyage et la taille des plantes, ont lieu tous les 10 jours afin de maintenir la qualité visuelle des motifs.
The progress of the 20th century
The flower mosaic is the art to utilise the vegetation in order to compose precise motifs / pictures. It probably has its origin in the flower beds of the plant-embroidery of the botanical gardens of the Renaissance.
This mosaic of the year 2000 presents some striking advances of this century which is about to end: the conquest of space, electricity, the telephone, aviation, the environment, the atom, mechanics and the automobile. More than 4000 plants were needed for its composition.
The preservation, the cleaning and the 'styling' of the plants takes place every 10th day in order to maintain the visual quality of the motif / picture.
every year, in beginn of july,...
every year, in beginn of july, there is a big flight in in epinal mirecourt. with a lot of self build aircrafts, different flight shows, and a big spare part market, it is a great meeting for the flight enthusiast. put also non pilot will see allot of interesting stuff.
Train Tour
Right outside the Place Stanislas and through the Arc De Triomphe there is a small little train that takes you on a 45- minute tour of the old part of Nancy. It looks and runs a lot like the trams at Walt Disney World. There are headphones on the train that have guided tour information in every 11 or 12 different languages (including English) and it is 6 Euros per person, and kids 10 and under are free. It's money well spent, and you learn so much about the history of Nancy and there's just enough cool stuff on it that it's great for kids too.

Saint-Leon Church
Close to the train station two high towers called our attention.
They belong to the Neo-gothic church of Saint-Leon, built in the 19th century and dedicated to the bishop of Toul, who became Pope Leon IX.

- Architecture
Le Coeur du Grand Nancy
A discreet statue near the train station, in Place of Republique, calls our attention, with a golden heart atop a pile of iron hearts, clearly reproducing the style of the iron works in Stanislas square.
It invites us to read, and doing that I found that it is a work of the artist Jorge Orta, created in 2002, to celebrate a convention of organ donors.
Good work!

Jardins d'eau
The canal that serves Nancy is not only a useful resource, but also a garnished spot.
Boats and flowers fill and surround the water, in a discreet but nice harmony, with the bridge as a good sightseeing point.

I have been working at BB&T
up to 6% matching 401K, flexible time off however vacations start off at a paltry two weeks
- poor leadership - micro management is rampant and feels like certain managers do not genuinely care for their staff, only how they appear to their bosses and exec management
- pressured to cross-sell products that clients don't need so that managers can look like they are doing their job - short term approach that counters the bank's "relationship banking" philosophy
- constantly need to report calls/referrals - should look at the bottom line instead
- poor technologies which create redundancies and inefficiencies. Recently invested lots of time and money training for an ineffective software that was confusing to use

We will be travelling to Bermuda this summer with our 2 kids aged 12 and 15. We are looking for hotel suggestions. We have looked at Cambridge Beaches, The Reefs, Elbow Beach Resort and Tucker's Point. My husband is against anything "old" or that looks run down. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

The Reefs and Tucker's Point would be your best bet. Cambridge Beaches is a gorgeous old Bermuda property, not rundown ,but a classic and probably not what your husband wants plus it is the least likely to have kids visiting. A good portion of Elbow Beach is closed and to me that is a bit iff putting. I think the Reefs would be the most desirable choice given your list. have a wonderful time, Bermuda is another world.
Report Abuse
off putting, sorry, ipad typos!

Ditto cmcfong's suggestions, and thought it's worth mentioning that Tucker's Point's beach is NOT adjacent to the hotel property, but rather a shuttle ride away. The Reefs has it's own private beach, plus it is much better situated to enjoy the rest of the South Shore beaches. It's on a much more convenient bus line to town, too.
Report Abuse
Thanks very much for the responses. If anyone has any other hotel suggestions they would be appreciated. Thanks.

I agree the Reefs would be a good choice. You might also want to look at the Fairmont Southampton hotel. It is right next to the Reefs. The hotel sits up on a hill and you must either walk down the big hill or shuttle down to the beach below.
I know the Reefs have just redone their hotel, but we usually had the only kids there. The Fairmont had more families and more family amenities on property. I love the Reefs and think it is really nice and you just walk out to the beach, but with kids, the Fairmont Southampton property was better for us. The last time we went, our kids were younger teenagers, (about 5 years ago)

After spending a decade shuttling between Atlanta and Los Angeles for work, designer Brian Patrick Flynn decided that what he needed was a place to get away from it all. He found exactly what he was looking for in a 1,700 square foot cabin in the North Georgia mountains. The views were unrivaled, but the interiors, unfortunately, left a little to be desired.

Before & After: A Manhattan Elementary School Got a Colorful Upgrade
Kids love a good DIY just as much as big people do, and it's fun to see them get an opportunity to express their creativity. Last week I had the pleasure of visiting the Alexander Robertson School, on Manhattan's Upper West Side, where Colorhouse Paints partnered with CITYarts, a public art initiative in New York, to create a huge mural on the wall of the school's auditorium. Well, Colorhouse provided the paint, the artists from CITYarts designed the mural — and the kids got to do the creating.
Before & After: A Vintage Eichler Home Opens Up
This is an especially interesting project because it shows how an older home can be adapted for the needs of a modern family without sacrificing the things that made the home charming to begin with. The owners of this Eichler home home in Mountain View, California were in love with the home's midcentury detailing... but not with the midcentury floor plan. The kitchen was separated by a wall from the rest of the living area, and the living area itself was awkwardly broken into a living room and a darkish, enclosed atrium. Just a few floorplan changes were all it took to make this awkward, chopped up space into the centerpiece of a beautiful, bright family home.

I've stayed at this hotel a few times. I recommend the extra upgrade to the business class rooms for top floor comfort. I also travel with my own pillow as the ones here are a little too 'plump' for my liking. Sleep number beds are hit or miss but I don't think much can be done aside from upgrading the entire bedding situation. It's unlikely to happen as the 'sleep number' is something that still advertised for the chain. I'd hazard a guess that this is the most common complaint at this location.
In the end the hotel staff makes this place the place we keep returning to. Hosted business colleagues here and they kept saying that it was a great venue. We'll keep returning. THANKS!
