Many users mailed us for making the PLC program for the dancing light, so here we will see the PLC Logic for making a fancy light decoration system. This PLC program can be used for lighting systems in house or for any festive celebration time. We will see here in detail the logic of PLC programming and the steps involved in making the PLC Program.
PLC Programming for Dancing Light - PLC Programming
Here in this PLC Program we are considering six numbers of LED, 1 start push button, 1 stop push button and 1 selector switch. We will write the PLC program for 2 different mode i.e the LED's will glow in two different pattern.
Recommended Article: Free PLC Software's for Ladder Logic Programming
Mode 1 Pattern of LED Glowing:- While writing this PLC logic we have made the PLC program in such a way that when we will push the Start button then LED 1 will glow, after 1 second LED 2 will glow and again after 1 second LED 3 will glow and so ON and after 6th LED the cycle will start again. The number of LED's can be more as per the need and application.
See the Below table for better understanding.
Time -----------LED1 ------------LED2---------LED3---------LED4--------LED5------------LED6
T=0sec ---------OFF--------------OFF----------OFF----------OFF----------OFF-------------OFF
T=1sec ---------ON --------------OFF----------OFF----------OFF---------OFF-------------OFF
T=2sec ---------ON --------------ON-----------OFF-----------OFF---------OFF-------------OFF
T=3sec ---------ON --------------ON-----------ON------------OFF---------OFF-------------OFF
T=4sec ---------ON --------------ON-----------ON------------ON----------OFF-------------OFF
T=5sec ---------ON --------------ON-----------ON------------ON----------ON--------------OFF
T=5sec ---------ON --------------ON-----------ON------------ON----------ON--------------ON
and then again the cycle resets after every 6 seconds.
Mode 2 Pattern of LED Glowing :-
In the second mode , which will be on when we will select it by selector switch the LED 1 and LED6 will glow first for 1 second then LED 2 and LED 5 will glow and then LED 3 and LED 4 .
See below table for a clear understanding.
Time -----------LED1 ------------LED2---------LED3---------LED4--------LED5------------LED6
T=0sec ---------OFF--------------OFF----------OFF----------OFF----------OFF-------------OFF
T=1sec ---------ON --------------OFF----------OFF----------OFF----------OFF--------------ON
T=2sec ---------ON --------------ON-----------OFF----------OFF----------ON---------------ON
T=3sec ---------ON --------------ON-----------ON------------ON----------ON---------------ON
And then after 3 seconds the cycle resets.
PLC Logic Development for Dancing Light
0.0 --- Start Push Button -- (NO)
0.1 --- Stop Push Button --- (NC)
0.2 --- Selector Switch --- (1 pole)
We have considered only 6 LED here only, however the PLC Programming can be extended for any numbers of LED you want and also the glowing pattern can be changed as you like. If you have some any other pattern in mind and want to make PLC Logic according to that then tell us , we will make for you.
You can download the PLC Program below. We have attached both .pdf and cx-programmer file.

How to Connect Omron Rotary Encoder to PLC
Omron Rotary encoder E6B2 comes with open collector output and as well as line driver output. It has external shaft dia up to 40mm and it has a resolution of up to 2000PPR.
Some may want to know what is PPR in encoders ?? well PPR stands for Pulse Per Revolution i.e the number of pulses it will be giving in one full revolution.Also as per our need we can select either PNP or NPN type output. Generally in all the cases we need to interface the encoder with PLC to receive the PULSES.
The use of encoders in Automation is for detecting/calculating the length or distance traveled with the input from encoder pulses , for measuring the speed or for high-processing of data. For more detail on encoders you can see here.
How to Connect Encoder to PLC?
For connecting the Encoder to our PLC we have to make sure that our PLC accepts high speed counter inputs and we have to connect the encoder accordingly to that terminals only. Omron PLC CP1E/CP1H have 4 high speed counter inputs and we can connect up to 4/6 encoders.
Omron encoder E6B2 series have 5 wires and of different colour. Make connections as depicted below.
Wire Colour -------------------------------------------------------------Type
Brown------------------------------------------------------------------- + 24 V DC
Blue ------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 V Dc
Black ------------------------------------------------------------------ Output Phase A
White ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ouput Phase B
Orange ----------------------------------------------------------------- Phase Z
So connect your Encoder accordingly as shown above. Here we will tell you how to interface it with PLC. We will take example of OMRON PLC CP1E. We have to just connect 3 wires to PLC high speed counter Terminals and configure them in the software for Receiving the Pulses.
Interfacing the Encoder with Omron PLC CP1E:-
We will take example here as connecting the encoder to High speed counter 0.
Encoder Side--------------------------------------------------------PLC Side
Black-------------------------------------------------------------- 0.0
White-------------------------------------------------------------- 0.1
Orange------------------------------------------------------------- 0.4
Similarly we can connect it to any high speed counter input , just we have to check what are the terminals assigned for that HIGH Speed Counter in PLC.
After making the connections we have to write the suitable PLC Program for the reading of Pulses and processing the PV value of Encoder.
PLC Programming and necessary settings in CX-Programmer will be discussed in next post. So just reading here and also you can subscribe to get all related updates in yours Inbox. If you are facing any problem in connecting up your encoder then feel free to write in comment sections. PLC Programming for Encoder will be discussed in next post.

BARRIE – Barrie Police Service Const. Jason Nevill took the stand Thursday in his second day defending charges of assault.
He told the crown he was fighting for his life.
In November 2010, Nevill was called to the Bayfield Mall to investigate a broken Christmas ornament. It quickly escalated into a violent altercation.
Jason Stern, 25, was arrested that day for being drunk in public and resisting arrest. He had been at the mall bowling around midnight.
Months later a mall videotape emerged depicting the arrest.
See the video here. WARNING: This video contains graphic images and may not be suitable for children. Also, be advised the length of the video has been edited for the web.
In the video, released to the media, Stern is pinned to the ground by two security officers, bleeding from his head. The tape shows Nevill punching Stern in the head several times, both before and after handcuffs were put on him.
After a conversation of about 30 seconds, Nevill initiated physical contact.
Two security guards pinned Stern while Nevill punched him repeatedly for about four minutes.
After the altercation, security washed Stern's blood from the sidewalk with a bucket of water.
In questioning Nevill Thursday, Crown Attorney Brenda Cowie asked why Nevill hit Stern in the chest and face instead of using other tactics.
"He wasn't in a position to (hit) behind the ear," said Nevill, referring to other methods of incapacitating a suspect.
Cowie then said: "So you made the choice to (hit the) head and face area."
"I didn't use my baton, or pepper spray," said Nevill. "I'm fighting for my life here. I'm fighting with people I don't know."
After viewing the video, Barrie Police Service Chief Mark Neelin ordered an OPP investigation.
Nevill is charged with assault, obstructing justice and fabricating evidence.
The charges have yet to be proven in court.
On Thursday, the judge heard how Nevill had a 25-second conversation with Stern and determined that was enough cause to arrest him for being drunk in public.
Cowie asked the officer why he stood so close to Stern, instead of farther back, as officers are trained to do.
Nevill said it was Stern's stance – and the fact that he kept putting his hands in his pocket – that caused him concern.
"He's fidgeting with his hands in his pocket and I don't know what's in there," Nevill said. "I'm already close to him. I'm a larger guy and I'm confident with close quarters combat."
Earlier in the video, Stern stood with his hands in his pockets casually talking with mall security for about four minutes before Nevill arrived.
In reviewing Nevill's notes of the confrontation, Cowie questioned their apparent lack of detail.
"There's no way I'm going to remember every single thing," said Nevill. "My body is going through an adrenaline rush and I don't remember blow-by-blow.
He said when watching the video, he remembers what happened. But when it came to making notes within hours after the incident, he said he didn't remember every detail.
Nevill has been a Barrie police officer for 13 years.
He has been suspended with pay awaiting this trial.

I-5 over Grapevine closed due to snow
LOS ANGELES The California Highway Patrol says Interstate 5 through the Grapevine area north of Los Angeles has been closed because of heavy snow.
The CHP says the main highway between Southern and Central California was closed late Friday northbound at Parker Road and southbound at Smokey Bear Road.
There's no estimate on when it will reopen.
The area has been pounded throughout the day by a powerful spring storm that brought thunderstorms, hail, and fierce winds.
The National Weather Service says downtown Los Angeles received nearly 1/2 inch of rainfall on Friday, breaking the old record of 0.29 inches set in 1956.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
A powerful spring storm that zapped an airliner with lightning in San Francisco moved across California on Friday, bringing thunderstorms, hail, fierce winds and blinding snow flurries in the mountains.
Drivers making practice runs zipped around a wet track as the three-day Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach began.
That didn't bother IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe.
"I love driving in the rain," he said. "Growing up karting in Canada, the beginning and end of every one of my seasons was a lot of rain. ... It's a completely different challenge. The limits are so much lower, but the penalties of going beyond those limits are so much higher."
Driving a race car full-out on a slick track requires being much gentler with the brakes and throttle.
"It's like driving on egg shells the entire time," Hinchcliffe said.
In Riverside County, blustery conditions greeted thousands of fans attending Friday afternoon's start of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The National Weather Service warned of high winds in desert areas including the Coachella Valley through Saturday morning, with areas of blowing sand and overnight thunderstorms.
Orange County firefighters successfully rescued five people from rain-engorged creeks, including a homeless man who was swept about two miles down a Stanton creek before firefighters found him hanging on to a rock at about 1:45 p.m. Friday.
With the aid of a helicopter, firefighters rescued four more men near the Verizon Amphitheater in Irvine after contractors tried to drive through a flooded creek and were stranded.
A waterspout, which is a tornado that occurs over water, was also spotted off the coast of San Clemente on Friday afternoon.
Bands of thunderstorms rolled through the northern and central areas of the state Friday morning, but the weather cleared in the afternoon as the front headed south and east, the weather service said.
As much as 14 inches of new snow was expected in the southern mountains, dropping at elevations as low as 3,500 feet and posing a risk to travel over high mountain passes north and east of Los Angeles.
A few inches of snowfall Wednesday night and Friday's dump brought a brief extension of the skiing and snowboarding season at resorts in the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains east of Los Angeles.
Closed since Monday, Mountain High at Wrightwood planned to reopen for the weekend as the "last hoorah" of the season, said John McColly, vice president of sales and marketing. There would be no further extensions because the sun is rising too high in the sky for spring snow to last very long, he said.

Water Heater Options in existing home
We have a natural gas water heater which we will soon have to replace. We also plan to remove any waterheater from its present location, and have thought to install instead an electric water heater inside a little lean-to a few feet from the electric meter and main power box outside the house; but there will be a common wall with the house. It will be located on the exterior wall of the kitchen, which is on the south side of the house. And a couple of feet forward of that spot is the kitchen window and then the outside portion of our heat pump.
Where the present gas supply to the water heater is located, I will be installing a small natural gas range. There is an empty 220 circuit in the breaker box, because I already ripped out the electric range which was disfunctional. I'm concerned that to have a gas water heater, I'd need my gas supply line upgraded, which could be done I guess, but want to explore solar, heatpump takeoff, and other options before launching such an upgrade. I am determined to have gas cooking as my priority.
We live in Mobile Alabama, latitude 30 North. We have ideas of using solar panels on the south side of the main house roof, and so will need a water storage tank anyway.
I want to be able to choose the option which gives us the MOST BENEFIT from our location, our environment, and our money. A "lifetime warranty" is not a requirement, since we are well into our 70s, if you know what I mean.
What could you recommend? Here is the picture outside of that area of the house. Not pretty in this view, we were renting it at the time.
Another observation:
I also want to put the power supply on a weatherhead and not attached to the wood of the house. It is way too low.
CAN A WEATHERHEAD BE MOUNTED ON THE CORNER OF THE FRONT PORCH ABOVE GROUND OF COURSE, and then routed underground to the breaker box? With all the dense tree roots from the power pole at the corner of our lot, to the location of the breaker box, being underground throughout its length would be very destructive and not likely to happen.

Yup - BPorter, to prove Vic's point, I'm your opposite. As someone who is a collector, I have almost every D&D mini from the beginning through 4th edition.. and then pathfinder battles. That means I have about 1070 unique sculpts of D&D miniatures plus every pathfinder battles miniature to date. If I never get another generic human or elf again it will be too soon. Once you count doubles, I have over 2,000 human or elf miniatures (and that's not counting reaper bones) . Why would I need another one?
Every time I see a human previewed I sigh and think "well there's another spot that could have been used by a monster that has never gotten a miniature, but instead another (insert class) with (insert weapon or spell effect)" Trying to find 'something suitable' for things like tatzlewurms or reefclaws was painful until they came out in miniature form. I mean, how do you find something to put the right mindset into your players when they see a basidirond?
If your party is facing a fighter with an ax or a fighter with a sword..... 90% of the time it will last less then 3 rounds, so as long at it looks martial no one cares.
And that's great... unless you're just starting to collect minis. Also, the "last 3 rounds" argument doesn't hold much water. A rare monster will last just as long and have far less utility and frequency of use.

It's a nice place to put your awesome photos. You might get lucky to be chosen and have your photos sold!

Just hard to make any money from this.
This is a great way to make money while getting better at photography.
The App is nice. My only main complaint is that you cannot upload multiple pictures at once. Also, it appears to be a bit hard to
make profit here, as most people are here to sell instead of buy.
The problem is this a stock photography app and not a beautiful picture app. The community seems biased and unfair in most of
their ratings. Your star rating depends on another persons motive and agen

It looks like it runs much better. I still would like to see the most popular in the old way with ratings 1-100. It encourages you

This app is good for viewing pics from around the world but not necessarily for selling although it has potential !
This app is outstanding and deserves better reviews! I have sold one picture and made five dollars so de and plan on selling more!
I wish you could put your own price on the photos though.
(5★) FOAP App
Cool App, Nice Contest & Does offer a paid monthly account option with more Contest.
Small glitch when rating pictures that brings up pics that you already rated, but a great way to try and sell some photos.

Although I have not sold any pictures, I have seen many people who have. I do love showing my photos.
Foap is a great way to share in your creative ability using your smartphone. Plus, you could earn a little scratch!

Would be nice to be able to edit keywords after publishing. Entering all of that then having the photo denied is a pain.
Cool app, now if I could just get some of my photos to sell.
Have been having a great time with this app I enjoy seeing all the photos and have fun with the missions
Pros: enjoy seeing the community of photosCons: why would I verify by giving them my passport?
Looks like a great opportunity just waiting for that first purchase to come thru!
(3★) Waiting
Uploaded a lot of pics, 40 ish have gone through so just hoping to sell some
It is a good idea,,but with so many people there is almost zero chance that you will make even one sale.
My husband and I really love this app! Our friend showed us it and we kinda cant stop :D really no complaints yet about the app.
Been on it for 2 weeks now!
I love this! I do wish that pictures were accepted as long as they were appropriate so the audiences could decide if they like it
cuz different people like different pics
Great idea and would love to earn cash for my pictures, but I cannot verify my information (like it says you have to). And it says
I have uploaded duplicates of the pictures I have uploaded everytime

Lots of small bugs to fix, but a really promising app!

(4★) Very good concept
This company will def be bought for big bucks if they improve and tweak this a little bit
Needs bug fixes. Had to try 6 times to sign up and then to sign in. Really slow.
(3★) Great app but!
The app is sooooo slow and I have an iPhone 5s. The app just lags for so long and I cannot rate pics because it is just a black
screen. Very frustrated.
(3★) Great Idea but…
This is a great idea and I really like it but the thing is that to post a picture you have to rate 5 photos and I have no problem
with that but the photos I was going to rate never loaded.
(4★) Overload
Did it ever occur to everyone downloading the app today, that it is not working because 5 million ( I exaggerate) are trying to
log in and create an account?
(5★) Cool concept
I like the fact that you can have your photos rated
(5★) Works good so far!
Just downloaded this app and it works good so far. I uploaded some photos. Looking forward to see more!

Should I buy Viking 36" gas rangetop and 30" wall oven???
I'm doing a kitchen remodel. I have to choose my appliances by the end of the week. I am interested in hearing about others experiences with Viking's 36" gas range top and Viking 30" professional oven. I've seen MANY bad reviews, however, they seemed to be from several years ago. I'm hoping that maybe Viking has stepped up their game in response to all the issues they seem to be having. I do a LOT of cooking, so these appliances are not just to look at. However, I am leaning toward them because, assuming all else is equal, they are so darn attractive. Consumer Reports gave them solid ratings, but the reviews are scaring me. Please help!
NO! Run,dont walk, away from Viking oven.
Lab nerds at CR are really cluless when it comes to cooking equipment.
They judge an oven by how well it bakes store purchased chocolate chip cookie dough.
2)Wolf L Series
3)Electrolux,choose the interface you like the most.
Highlights to Gagg oven. Side opening door so you don't need to reach over a hot oven door or pull out racks. Air Catylyzer that vaporizes grease before exiting air into kitchen which helps keep kitchen clean and fresh smelling. Fussy pastry chef heat evenness.
36" Gas Rangetop
1)Capital Culinarian
2)Bluestar RNB
True commercial type open burners not semi-open burners like Viking.Power burners are 22-23k btu for residential portions not 30-36k btu burners like on commercial ranges.
Even and efficient burners that direct heat directly to the bottom of the pan not to the side and up like on sealed burner and semi-open burners.

Crypte archéologique du Parvis Notre-Dame.
Arriving at the Parvis Notre-Dame I had two possible visits with my Paris museum pass:
the towers of Notre-Dame or the Crypte archéologique.
As there was a long queue for the tower and as I wondered if I would be able to climb the 400 stairs like I did when I was twenty (long time ago) I decided to go downstairs at the archaeological crypt below the Parvis.
This large (118 x 12 m) underground space opened in 1980, to show elements of the buildings which followed one another on the site from Antiquity to the 19th century: Gallo-Roman rooms, enclosing wall of the beginning of 4th c., basement of the old chapel of the Hospital, medieval remainders.
From the Roman Empire remain sections of the quay and port of Lutetia/Lutèce capital of the Parisii a Celtic tribe settled here on the island since the 3rd c. B.C.
There are vestiges of a large urban house with a hypocaust (heating system that the Romans used in the thermal baths). It is at the foot of the rampart that a treasure was discovered in 1970: a ceramic jug contained more than 800 coins.
From the Middle Ages remain foundations of the Saint-Etienne basilica in front of the present Notre-Dame.
At the time of my visit there was a temporary exhibition on the building techniques in Lutetia/Lutèce during the roman period (1 - 4th c. A.D.) All the aspects of building and decorating were evoked, from rough materials to the vestiges of constructions discovered in the Parisian basement. Interesting for archaeologists.

Square du Vert-Galant
This little park at the western (downstream) tip of the Île de la Cité was named after the French King Henri IV (1553-1610), who was nicknamed "Le Vert-Galant" because of his many mistresses that he continued consorting with at a (relatively) advanced age. Actually he only lived to be 57, which does not seem amazingly old today but was no doubt a ripe old age by the standards of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
You have to go down some steps to get to the park, because it is seven meters lower than the rest of the island. In former times the entire Île de la Cité was this low, which must have made it very susceptible to flooding.
Originally there were three separate islands here, but in 1607 (during the reign of Henri IV) they were joined together for the purpose of building the Pont Neuf (New Bridge), which at that time was the newest but is now the oldest bridge in Paris.
Second photo: In case anyone might be in doubt about who the Square du Vert-Galant is named after, there is a large equestrian statue of Henri IV on the street at the top of the stairs.
Third photo: The German writer Heinrich Mann (1871-1950) went into exile in southern France as soon as the Nazis came into power in Germany in 1933. While he was living in France, he researched and wrote two novels about the life of Henri IV. The first, Die Jugend des Königs Henri Quatre (later translated into English as Young Henry of Navarre) was published in 1935 and the second, Die Vollendung des Königs Henri Quatre (in English as Henry, King of France) followed in 1938. These are both very readable and thought-provoking books, dealing with all aspects of Henri's life and times but especially with the nature and use of power, a subject which was very much on Heinrich Mann's mind at the time.
I have also written about Henri IV (and mentioned Heinrich Mann) in one of my Louvre reviews, called Ruebens and Marie de' Medici in the Louvre.

Did you know, the Ile de la Cite is known as the centre of Paris, and is one of two natural islands that sits in the middle of the Seine.
All distances in Paris are measured from the center of the island.
I must have walked over the marker when I visited Notre Dame Cathedral, as the 'Paris Point Zero' marker is situated just in front of the main entry. It's a small octagonal brass plate set in the ground where all distances from Paris are measured. I think I was looking "up" too much so remember to look down too!!
It's thought people have lived on this Island since the 3rd century B.C. In 52 A.D., after being plundered by the Romans, the settlement was rebuilt as the Roman city of Lutetia.

Crypte Archéologique
The Crypte Archéologique under the square in front of the world famous Notre Dame exhibits the remains of the foundations and walls which pre-date the cathedral by many centuries. The remains include some which date back to Roman times (when Paris was Lutetia) and others from the crowded medieval city of Paris which were swept away by the massive remodeling of the city which took place in the middle of the 19th century under the eye of Baron Haussmann.
Other than the remains there are a good number of information panels which tell the story of the development of the city from Roman times as you work your way around the museum. The panels are all in French, but there are translations available in English and a number of other languages on boards that you carry around.
The crypt is closed on Mondays, but open 10am to 6pm on other days. Admission is €4 for adults but it is included in the Paris Museum Pass.

Île de la Cité
The Île de la Cité is one of the islands in the Seine (another island, Ile Saint-Louis), in the center of Paris. On this island was founded in medieval Paris. The island is located within the districts of Paris and the Place du Parvis Notre-Dame functions traditionally thought of as zero when calculating distances within France.
On the Île de la Cité are three medieval buildings:
Notre Dame de Paris;
the Conciergerie, the oldest royal palace in Paris, in the 15th century was converted into a prison;
the Sainte Chapelle, a chapel, located a stone's throw from Notre Dame, in the second half of the 13th century was built by Louis IX and consists of two floors.
The Île de la Cité with the left and right banks of the Seine connected by several bridges, including the Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris. Pont Saint-Louis is the connection between Île de la Cité and Ile Saint-Louis.

Secure your affection with 'love locks'
The Pont de l'Evêché is a rather low key metal bridge - apparently the narrowest in Paris - which links Ile de la Cite with the Rive Gauche (Left - or more accurately, South Bank of the Seine). However, over the last couple of years, this structure has been illictly adorned with 'love locks': padlocks decorated with the names or initials of couples and then attached onto the metal fencing as a sign of commitment (with the key presumably being discarded).
Apparently this phenomenon started in Paris on the Pont des Arts and soon spread to the Pont de l'Evêché. Personally I find it charming and fairly harmless, but then I'm not the municipal authority having to deal with literally thousands of the things springing up over a period of only a few years!
'Love locks' are a trend that started to sweep across Europe not long after the turn of the Millenium, and most countries now have a couple of examples. Reading the inscriptions is fascinating, because they seem to cover the whole gamut of relationships across racial and gender boundaries.
The cynic in me wonders what happens when the path of true love doesn't run smooth. There are certainly recorded cases where individuals have been charged with vandalism as they have tried to cut the lock with a hacksaw, damaging the bridge in the process. One would imagine that the thrifty - or those who only committed in a half hearted manner - would retain the key 'just in case', so that the lock could be removed and possible recycled (presumably once the previous inscription had been altered or removed) ...
Through the pages of Victor!
You can start your visit to Paris from Ile de la Cite, a nice area that is under the attack of thousands tourists everyday :) There you can visit some famous spots:
Notre Dame(free entrance or 6euro for the tower).
In front of the cathedral it's the zero point, all the distances in France start from here (pic 3)
Saint Chapelle(5,5e) the vitro windows at the first floor are amazing (pic 1), we spent most of the time looking at them, so beautiful...
Conciergerie(palace that became a prison after the revolution. (pic 5)
Then walk near the Seine or visit the Ile Saint Louis that is near. Its a peaceful area with rich flats and some nice small stores full of chocolates and some others with tasty small pieces of cheese. Pic 4 shows St Louis church.
Don't forget to take a pic of Notre Dame from bridge that connects the two areas (pic 2), one of my favorite views to look at the cathedral.
Isle de la cite
Situated in the middle of the River Seine and the birthplace of Paris! It has been the topographical, spiritual and legislative centre for over 2,000 years! The Romans invaded the Parisii settlement in 53 BC and the built a palace, law court and a gods temple but over the centuries the island was replaced with different priorites according to needs of those in reign.
The focal point is Notre Dame de Paris (Under a separate tip entry); the Palais de la Cite complex which features the Conciergerie (Under a separate tip entry) and the Sainte-Chapelle which was built for Louis IX and the Palais de Justice (French Supreme Court). Exploring the Pont Neuf area at one end of the Island is worth exploring and learning a bit of French history including the Revolution.

Charlemagne statue - Estatua de Carlomagno
Looking at the cathedral there is a big equestrian statue of Charlemagne at the right of the Parvis de Notre Dame. Charlemagne (742 or 747 – 814) was the King of the Franks who conquered Italy and took the Iron Crown of Lombardy and, on a visit to Rome in 800, was crowned imperator Romanorum ("Emperor of the Romans") by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day, presaging the revival of the Roman imperial tradition in the West in the form of the Holy Roman Empire. By his foreign conquests and internal reforms, Charlemagne helped define Western Europe and the Middle Ages.
Today regarded as the founding father of both France and Germany and sometimes as the Father of Europe, as he was the first ruler of a united Western Europe since the fall of the Roman Empire.
When Charlemagne died in 814, he was buried in his own Cathedral at Aachen (in modern Germany). He was succeeded by his surviving son, Louis, who had been crowned the previous year. His empire lasted only another generation in its entirety; its division, according to custom, between Louis's own sons after their father's death laid the foundation for the modern states of France and Germany.
Mirando a la catedral hay una gran estatua ecuestre de Carlomagno a la derecha del Parvis de Notre Dame. Carlomagno (742 ó 747 - 814) fue el Rey de los Francos que conquistó Italia y se atribuyó la Corona Férrea de Lombardía y, visitando Roma en 800, fue coronado Imperator Romanorum ("Emperador de los Romanos") por el Papa León III el día de Navidad, presagiando la reedición de la tradición del Imperio Romano de Occidente en la forma del Sacro Imperio Romano. Carlomagno ayudó a definir Europa occidental y la Edad Media con sus conquistas extranjeras y reformas internas.
Hoy se ve su figura como el padre fundador de Francia y Alemania e incluso el padre de Europa, pues fue el primer mandatario en unir Europa occidental desde la caída del Imperio Romano.
Cuando Carlomagno murió en 814 fue enterrado en su propia catedral de Aquisgrán (en la actual Alemania). Fue sucedido por su hijo superviviente, Luis, que fue coronado el año anterior. Su imperio duró tan sólo una generación más. La división llevada a cabo según la tradición, entre los hijos del propio Luis tras la muerte de su padre abrió el camino a la fundación de los modernos estados de Francia y Alemania.
Parvis de Notre Dame - Jean Paul II
The "parvis" is the square in front of the Notre Dame cathedral. In French the use the word parvis to name the squares in front of cathedrals and main churches because it comes from "paradise" and you're suppose to be closer to Heaven when you're next to the Cathedral.
This square was very narrow in the past, with a lot of houses, churches and the Hôtel Dieu (hospital). Haussmann designed an important remodelation, creating the big square we see nowadays demolishing all these buildings during the Napoleon Second Empire. Currently you can see the plan of how the square used to be thanks of the different colours of the floor. There are even inscriptions with the names of the old houses and churches. It's true they destroyed a lot of buildings but in fact we can admire the wonderful cathedral much better right now.
There are one more sign in the square and it's the Point 0 of French roads. It's a millestone in front of Notre Dame from which the distance from Paris and the other French cities are calculated. Tourists like to stand theirselfs in the center of the millestone ant turn around because it's suppose they'll return to Paris if they do this :-)
The square called Parvis de Notre Dame added the name of the Pope John Paul II in 2006 because he visited Paris several times, so the square is named Parvis de Notre Dame - Jean Paul II
El "parvis" es la plaza enfrente de la catedral de Notre Dame. En francés se usa la palabra parvis para nombrar las plazas enfrente de las catedrales e iglesias principales porque este nombre viene de "paraiso" y se supone que estamos más cerca del Cielo cuando se está cerca de la Catedral.
Esta plaza era muy estrecha en el pasado, con muchas casas, iglesias y el Hôtel Dieu (hospital). Haussmann diseñó una importante remodelación, creando la gran plaza que vemos en nuestros días demoliendo todos estos edificios durante el Segunfo Imperio de Napoleón. Actualmente se puede ver el plano de como era la plaza gracias a las baldosas de diferentes colores. Incluso hay inscripciones indicando el nombre de las diferentes casas e iglesias. Es cierto que se destruyeron muchos edificios, pero en realidad gracias a esto podemos admirar mejor la magnífica catedral.
Hay otra señal en la plaza y es el kilómetro 0 de las carreteras francesas. Es un hito kilométrico enfrente de Notre Dame desde el cual se mide la distancia entre París y otras ciudades francesas. A los turistas les gusta ponerse en el centro de la piedra y dar una vuelta porque se supone que gracias a esto se vuelve a París :-)
A la plaza, llamada Parvis de Notre Dame, se le añadió el nombre del Papa Juan Pablo II en 2006 porque él viistó París varias veces, así que la plaza se llama ahora Parvis de Notre Dame - Jean Paul II
Archaeological crypt - Cripta arqueológica
This crypt was prepared in 1980 to protect all the archaeological pieces discovered from the works of 1965. These elements come from buildings which was in the square from the antiquity to the 19th century. There are important rests from the galo roman empire, the Middle Ages and the foundations of a big basilica with five naves, maybe one consacrated to Saint Stephen
Esta cripta se preparó en 1980 para proteger todas las piezas arqueológicas descubiiertas desde los trabajos de 1965. Estos elementos proceden de edificios que estuvieron en la plaza desde la antigüedad al siglo XIX. Hay importantes restos del imperio galo romano, de la Edad Media y de los cimientos de una gran basílica con cinco naves, posiblemente consagrada a San Esteban

Hôtel Dieu hospital
The Hôtel-Dieu is regarded as the oldest hospital in the city of Paris. It is located on the next to Notre-Dame. In France the main hospitals where called "Hostel of God" (Hôtel Dieu) because they were placed next to the Cathedrals.
It was founded by Saint Landry in 651 and after this the hospital still resides on the Île de la Cité, but it has change its place and its building severals time, dating the current one from 1877. Notable physicians, researchers, and surgeons practised at the hospital. The Hôtel-Dieu has acquired a reputation for excellence in many fields, including oncology, ophthalmology, as well as dietary and nutrition studies.
El Hôtel Dieu es el hospital más antiguo de París. Se encuentra junto a la Catedral de Notre Dame. En Francia los principales hospitales se llamaban "Hotel de Dios" porque se encontraban junto a las catedrales.
Fue fundado por San Landry en 651 y tras esto el hospital continua en la Isla de la Ciudad, pero ha cambiado de lugar y edificio varias veces en todo este tiempo, hasta la actual construcción que es de 1877. Destacados físicos, investigadores y cirujanos han practicado en este hospital. El Hotel Dieu tiene fama en varios campos, incluyendo la oncología, oftalmología y endocrinología.
Prefecture de Police
The Prefecture of Police, headed by the Prefect of Police, is an agency of the Government of France (and part of the French National Police) which provides the police force for the city of Paris and the surrounding departements. It is also in charge of emergency services, such as the Paris Fire Brigade, and performs administrative duties, such as issuing ID cards and driver licenses or monitoring alien residents. The Prefecture of Police also has limited security duties in the wider Île-de-France région.
The prefecture is a large building located in front of Notre Dame cathedral. It was an important role during the Liberation of Paris from the Nazis. The police made a sublevation in this building the 19th of August of 1944.
La Prefectura de Policia, dirigida por el Prefecto de Policía, es la agencia del Gobierno de Francia(y parte de la Policía Nacional Francesa) que administra la fuerza policial en la ciudad de París y los Departamentos que la rodean. También se ocupa de los servicios de emergencia, como la Brigada de Bomberos, y realiza funciones adinistrativas, como la expedición de DNI, permisos de conducir o permisos de residencia. La Prefectura también tiene ciertas competencias para la seguridad en el conjunto de la región Île de France.

Series Game 1 forecast: Cold, windy
Updated: October 19, 2011, 11:34 AM ETAssociated Press
ST. LOUIS -- Batter up ... and bundle up!
The weather forecast is calling for temperatures in the upper 40s with a chance of rain and wind for the World Series opener Wednesday night between the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals.
The wind chill is expected to drop into the upper 30s as Game 1 progresses. It was in the mid-50s as the teams took batting practice Tuesday at Busch Stadium, though some players wore ski caps.
It's been damp before in St. Louis during the World Series. A game in 2006 against Detroit was postponed by rain, and there was rain in 2004 against Boston.

Liberty & How Things Are Not Always As They SeemSubmitted by Marc Clair on Mon, 07/15/2013 - 10:17
Chris Rossini wrote what I believe to be a very important article yesterday at EPJ. I encourage you all to give it a read!
By, Chris Rossini
We live in a time where the prospects for liberty do not look good. The advances of The State (over the last decade especially) have been extraordinary.
In the blink of an eye, our every move is now up for grabs to be monitored; and unfortunately prying eyes are not the limit. Prying hands grab and grope our most intimate spots at airports....Stop-and-Frisk campaigns in NYC...Military Lockdown in Boston....checkpoints while driving...
So much liberty lost, in such a short period of time. How can the ideas of liberty succeed in such an environment?
Well, there are some lessons of history that can provide some encouragement. For things are not always as they seem. We may actually be living in a time that has never been better for the ideas of liberty to break through and sweep the world.
Massive changes often happen when they are least expected.
Let's go back to the year 1763.
The British Empire had soundly defeated the French around the globe, and the French and Indian War came to an end. As the Annual Register recorded of Britain,"In no one year since she was a nation has she been favored with so many successes, both by sea and by land, and in every quarter of the globe."
Horace Walpole, an English letter writer and chronicler of English life and politics wrote: "Victories come so tumbling over one another from distant parts of the globe that it looks like the handiwork of a lady romance writer…The park guns will never have time to cool. We ruin ourselves with gun-powder and sky-rockets."

Did you know Ron Paul is a Neoliberal?
According to Wiki, in the past three months, wiki has been busy rewritting history.
It's not as if we have some internet group that can take on wiki and defend what we believe.. we are too busy watching a charde played out by snowjob.
If you didn't know the USA was spying on you with all the tracking devices and the patriots acts, how stupid were you really? Stupid enough to think that snowjob is REAL news.
Keep yu eye focus on snowjob.. you won't miss what you don't know what is really happening.
RON PAUL IS A NEOLIBERAL (who cares about Ron Paul? So what if you thought he was a conservative. he's NOT)

Hey Granger
I thought you were supposed to be subverting the GOP towards our view of things, not the other way around :)

I'm sorry
I never thought I was subverting the GOP, I thought I was replacing the Neocon leg with conservatives.
Now I understand that your view is Neoliberal and I do not support that.
It's only in the last 48 hours that I found out.
always with the labels
Let's focus on issues instead
