Forming a Mastermind Group It can be hard to stay motivated and focussed when you are working alone on an area of personal development, whether it is your spiritual growth, a business plan or the Grand Vision you want to manifest in the world. Forming a Mastermind group around you can be invaluable.

Some of the amulets and talismans we commonly wear have a history that goes back millennia. The Holistic Spine The spine is the main conduit of life force energy through the body. Clearing the energy in your spine can help your wellbeing on every level.

To do this you need to identify which elements of your life are out of step with your personal Truth. The Power of Your Thoughts There is a well known saying in the healing world, Where attention flows energy goes. You nourish every thought with life force energy and so you create your life. What is Enlightenment? Is Enlightenment a goal or a process? I believe it is both.

Employees Engage in Rogue Cloud Use Regardless of Security Policies
CIO - "I don't think IT realizes how much the way we live life as individuals has completely permeated the enterprise," says Margaret Dawson, vice president of product management at Symform. "This is happening whether you want it to or not."
Analysis: Does 'Shadow IT' Lurk in Your Company?
In a survey of about 500 companies across a range of industries and sizes, Symform found that nearly 20 percent of businesses have no clear security policies or standards around employee or departmental use of cloud. Of the 39 percent of IT organizations that say they are not using the cloud, 65 percent said they allow employees or teams to use cloud services and 35 percent allow employees to put company data in cloud applications.
"This research validates how cloud applications and services are being purchased and managed increasingly by non-IT departments and illustrates the need for IT to reclaim control from a policy and governance standpoint while still enabling the business to benefit from the cloud's agility and cost effectiveness," Dawson says. "I always advise IT leaders to be the centralized source of all IT policy, vendor criteria, compliance management and the definition of 'trust' for their organizations. Cloud usage is inevitable, but loss of control is not."
Employees Frequently Go Rogue When It Comes to Cloud
Even when organizations do have formal policies around cloud use, employees frequently make an end-run around IT. Symantec conducted a survey of 111 knowledge workers and 165 IT managers in November and found a significant disconnect between employee behavior and IT policy when it comes to cloud applications at work.
According to Symantec, even though the majority of IT managers report their organization has formal policies for cloud use, 71 percent of employees do not think there is a policy to control their use of cloud applications in at least one category (online email/communications, file sharing, online storage or backup, productivity apps or contact manager apps). And 28 percent of employees don't know of a policy for any of the categories.
No matter the type of cloud application, many employees say they never go around IT and use cloud applications outside of policy, but IT says it's much more common than employees admit. For instance, only 69 percent of employees admit they go rogue with cloud-based email/communications, while IT reports 88 percent of employees go rogue. Cloud-based storage or backup apps lead to some of the biggest discrepancies: 38 percent of employees admit to rogue use of such applications, while IT says 81 percent of employees engage in rogue use of those services.
Employees Don't Believe There Are Consequences for Rogue Cloud Use
Even employees that know of a formal policy think there are no consequences for policy violations. Symantec found that 76 percent of IT monitors cloud policies with manual audits or technology to watch for it, while 55 percent of employees do not think there is a policy or have no idea. Additionally, 81 percent of IT managers believe there are clear consequences for violations, while 49 percent of employees say their company doesn't have consequences for violating cloud policies or they just don't know.
Related: Why Marketing Departments Turns to Rogue IT-and How To Stop Them
"People are learning to get around the corporate rules," Dawson says. "People are still going around it. Organizations need to develop strong governance, develop strong policies and implement them. They need to make collaboration and access so easy that employees aren't going to go around them. To do that, you need to focus on where the data is going. Tracking and reporting is really vital."
For IT managers, the No. 1 concern and key criteria when evaluating the cloud was access controls. They also cite auditing and tracking, security of data in motion and at rest, vulnerability management and strong security service level agreements (SLAs) as key security criteria when evaluating cloud services.
Despite the gap between cloud utilization and security policies, Symform found that among respondents, cloud is gaining credibility as a safe place to store or use data. Fifty percent of survey respondents said they believe even sensitive data can be stored in the cloud. This aligns with the finding that data protection is the highest perceived benefit of using the cloud. Credit card data remains the exception: 70 percent of respondents would not put credit card data in the cloud.

Voter ID clarification/Don't let misinformation intimidate
November 1, 2013, 10:03pm
958 views
2 comments
By John Steen,
Texas Secretary of State
November 1, 2013
The Nov. 5 constitutional amendment election is the first statewide election which requires Texans to present a photo ID when they vote in person. Early voting started Oct. 21 and ended Nov. 1. So far, the election has gone smoothly, but there is some bad information brewing about what you may or may not need at the polls, specifically that the name on your approved ID and the name on your voter registration must match exactly. As one county election official put it, that's just an urban legend.
When it comes to voting, Texans need the facts, and the fact is that as long as your ID name and registration name are substantially similar, you will be able to vote a regular ballot, period. All you have to do is initial a box to confirm you are in fact the same person. You will not be flagged for voter fraud, you will not have to vote a provisional ballot, and you will not have to undergo a long process before you can cast your ballot. Your ballot will be a full, regular ballot that will be counted in exactly the same way as the ballots of other voters.
Poll workers may give you the opportunity to update your registration so it will match your ID for future elections. This step, however, is not required and is offered simply as a matter of convenience. As a voter, you may continue to initial the box each election and continue to use your same identification.
What does "substantially similar" mean? It means that your names might not match because of a missing suffix like Jr. or Sr. It includes the use of a nickname instead of a full name, and it includes changes of name due to marriage or divorce. Poll workers across the state have been trained to account for such differences in ID and registration, and this training is working. During early voting, more than 200,000 ballots have been cast, and my office has received no reports of any voter having to cast a provisional ballot because his or her ID name and registration name did not exactly match.
In addition to accounting for name changes, nicknames, and other common differences that might appear in a name, poll workers are trained to look at the ID as a whole if there is a question about the voter's identity. Poll workers will look for additional details such as if the birth dates match or if the addresses are the same.
Remember, though it was not previously required, many Texans have voted using their photo ID for many years without problems.
Also, please note it is not necessary for you to bring any additional information to the polls beyond your approved photo ID. You do not need to bring a birth certificate, marriage license, or divorce decree to vote. Some voters choose to bring their voter registration card because it contains information that may expedite the voting process, but a voter registration card is not required.
As a reminder, there are seven forms of approved photo ID for voting in person. Four are issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety: a driver license, personal ID card, concealed handgun license, or an Election Identification Certificate (EIC). The other three forms are a U.S. passport, citizenship certificate with your photo, or a military ID with your photo. EICs are available without charge from the Department of Public Safety for voters who do not have one of the six other forms of ID.
If you have any questions about photo ID requirements or voting in general, visit
or contact your county election official. Don't let an urban legend or misinformation keep you from the polls.
John Steen is the 108th Texas Secretary of State, and, as chief election officer for the state, he oversees the uniform application and interpretation of election laws in Texas.

Local school boards in the United States spend almost $600 billion of the public's money and employ millions of Americans. They have a prime role, along with the home, in shaping the future for the country's young. Yet the more than 14,000 boards of education are obscure and most people have not the vaguest notion of how they operate and what impact they have. School Boards in America aims to provide a wide audience - educators and college students, board members, policymakers, parents and other taxpayers, and just about anyone interested in public affairs - with an inside view that will forever affect the ways in which they look at public schools and how they are governed.

INL designed and constructed 52 reactors since its establishment in 1949 as the National Reactor Testing Station. For many years it was the site of the largest concentration of nuclear reactors in the world. After the first reactor at the National Reactor Testing Station (Experimental Breeder Reactor-I) went critical in 1951, scientists built and operated dozens more reactors in the next five decades.
The alphabetical listing of the Idaho reactors above is from "Proving the Principle, A History of the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory 1949-1999."
Page Contact Information:
No. 3. Advanced Test Reactor — the largest test reactor in the world, is used to study the effects of radiation on materials and also produces rare and valuable medical and industrial isotopes.
No. 17. Experimental Breeder Reactor-I — achieved a historic milestone when on Dec. 20, 1951, it produced usable amounts of electricity from nuclear power for the first time by powering three light bulbs.
No. 30. The Materials Testing Reactor — (1952-1970) was the second reactor built at the National Reactor Testing Station, now the INL, used to test materials' performance in intense radiation environments. Every reactor designed in the United States has been influenced by the knowledge gained from the MTR.
No. 45. Submarine Thermal Reactor — the submarine thermal reactor was the prototype power plant for the nation's first nuclear submarine, the USS Nautilus.

Michigan's air is getting cleaner (very slowly)
Air quality is getting better in Michigan, according to a new report from the American Lung Association. The association's annual 'State of the Air' report says ozone and particle pollution rates have eased in Michigan during the past decade. Lansing and Saginaw have some of the cleanest air among U.S. cities.
Shelly Kiser is with the American Lung Association. She says the report's not all good news.
"Obviously there is still a lot of work to be done…we still have a lot of bad pollution areas."
Kiser says more than a dozen Michigan cities have serious problems with ozone and particle pollution. Detroit is among the top 20 U.S. cities for air pollution. Grand Rapids and Holland also rank high on the list of U.S. cities for ozone pollution.
Kiser says, despite the problems, the extent of air pollution is lessening, thanks in part to the federal Clean Air Act.
"Obviously we still have a lot of bad grades in Michigan, but there were a lot of improvements happening. The Clean Air Act is working."
Kiser is worried that congressional efforts to weaken or defund the Environmental Protection Agency might negatively affect enforcement of the Clean Air Act.

Laughing Buddha - Desperately seeking sadhana
by Poornima Yogi
Zimbabwes blind cricket commentator Dean du Plessis bowls audiences for six! announced a headline in my favourite newspaper recently. It went on to tell us about this amazing man who regaled audiences with live cricket commentary without ever having known what a cricket pitch looks like he was born blind. Mr du Plessiss accentuated sense of hearing makes up for being sightless, said the news report, Wired up to the stump microphones, he can tell who is bowling from the footfalls and grunts, a medium or fast delivery by the length of time between the bowlers foot coming down and the impact of the ball on the pitch. He picks up a yorker from the sound of the bat ramming down on the ball, can tell if a ball is on the off or on-side, and when its hit a pad rather than bat.
Is it for real, I remember thinking that day. Either this man is kidding or is blessed with this extraordinary ability by the sheer grace of God. To tell who is bowling by the footfalls? Surely, its impossible? Well, not really. I discovered for myself that a heightened sense of hearing could indeed be a substitute for vision, but it was not definitely the blessing that it was for the blind commentator not if you are in earnest pursuit of Nirvana!
It all started when I was feeling particularly inspired by a series of discourses on spirituality that I attended by my guru. Guruji stressed that regular sadhana or spiritual discipline was the very nature of a genuine seeker, and sadhana was an imperative and indispensable aspect of spiritual pursuit. Be it yoga, meditation, japa, pranayama, food habits, sleep patterns, non-indulgence in the senses or whatever, regular practice and disciplined effort was the key to success. The Brahma muhurta, between 3 and 6 am was highly recommended as the best time for meditation, not just by my guruji but by many realised masters over time. I was also reading Swami Ramas Living with the Himalayan Masters, and was impressed to note that even as a young seeker, Swami Rama slept just for two hours a day between 2 and 4 pm and reserved the entire night for meditation and other spiritual pursuits.
It seemed increasingly difficult to ignore the aspect of sadhana in my own endeavours of self-discovery. I decided to check out this Brahma muhurta for myself, and set a target of waking up in the wee hours to meditate.
For a couple of days I woke up at 3 am, only to wake up again at my regular hour after enjoying a full nights sleep in my meditation chair. I surreptitiously advanced the hour to 4 am and did manage to enjoy the peace and quiet of the hour for a while before drifting off into a deeper sleep, complete with blanket tucked around me by my kind husband. Stung by gentle jibes and practical advice by well-meaning family members, I reluctantly admitted that the hour was clearly a bit too wee, and shifted the Brahma muhurta to 5 am.
Ah, this seemed to be working. The first day, I determinedly sat erect and started my japa, undaunted by the soft snoring of others cosily curled up. Just as I was settling down into the rhythm, the sound of my mom waking up shattered the silence, with its grand cacophony of a creaking cot, flushing toilet, flip-flopping slippers and the switching on of the coffee percolator. And what a noise the percolator seemed to make boil, boil, boil it went second by agonising second, kutur, kutur, kutur. In the silence of the early morning, with all the doors and curtains drawn, the noise drummed into my being relentlessly. Boil, Boil, BOIL, BOIL the noise grew, enveloped and haunted my Brahma muhurta day after day. I started dreading the early morning percolator ritual as, neither able to meditate nor sleep, I landed with a headache each morning. I thus went around the house grumpy and grouchy, banging things and snapping at people. Mom, I thought you were pursuing Nirvana, complained my son. I am, I am, I said, But the damn percolator does not let me! Taking pity on me, mom graciously deferred the coffee-brewing to a later hour, and I settled down to my japa a lot more peaceful.
As the mantra droned on inside me another morning, a distant sound of ooooommmmmm penetrated my consciousness. I couldnt believe my luck. I had heard my Guruji say that as sadhana deepened, one would hear the Dashavidhanada the ten kinds of ethereal sounds of musical instruments, temple bells, anklets and finally, the omkara. I exulted that I was maybe the chosen one, blessed as I was with this primordial sound so early in my spiritual pursuit, until it shuddered to a halt unceremoniously. It was only the refrigerator on one of its humming bouts.
The mechanics of early morning delivery of milk and paper were the next audio revelations waiting for me, complete with Dolby sound effect. The screeching of the cycle and two-wheelers, in combination with whistling, coughing, shuffling, dragging, revealed if it was the young schoolboy, or the neighbourhood youth Raju from the chai shop, the grumpy newspaper vendor or the elderly owner of the milk dairy who did the honours for the day. Oh, so the boy is on leave today, I would say to myself if I heard the huff and puff instead of whistling, or I wish it was Raju who comes in regularly to deliver the paper. He doesnt bang the lift door so harshly I would lament. My mantra japa, in the meantime, would fall by the wayside as my mind drifted from Raju to the paper to the mornings possible headlines to the breakfast for the day. I would pick it up again, only to drop it with the next assault on my ears.
I now seriously doubt if this Nirvana thing can be achieved in the cosy but noise-ridden residences of city slickers. No wonder that every serious seeker worth his salt ran away to the Himalayas to meditate! Since I cant do that (not sure I want to either) I guess I will have to learn to hear the music
in the noise, like Osho says. The rhythm in the scratch, scratch, scratch... of the girls broom who sweeps the premises of our apartment, the tempo inherent in my neighbours asthmatic cough, the nuances of the early morning ablutions of all and sundry I battle with all these Dashavidhanadas of my external world as I desperately continue to seek the real thing in my internal world.
I dont know where I am headed, or if I am making any progress at all as I drift off into sleep or fantasy or get distracted all in the name of meditation. But I am persisting, arent I, sending out a strong message to the universe that I am serious about sadhana. That must surely count for something. I think.

Ahh this is the South of France that we had hoped for! A clear blue sky with only the occasional white cloud scudding across . We set out , this time intent on a train journey, to Hendaye, a little town on the French /Spanish border for a day at the beach.
Arriving at the station we purchase our tickets in a hurry noting from the information board that, the train to Hendaye will be a platform two NOW! We dash on glad to have caught it and settle down. As the train moves on, ...
On the road again!
Leaving Madrid to head toward the north coast of Spain we
thought we had encountered the worst of the hills, but no, the van was
confronted again and again with further climbs all of which caused it to
struggle and meant that we were often pulling into the side to let those cars
behind us pass. The scenery was much the
same as the trip into Madrid, very harsh and although I looked everywhere not
once did I see a house that even vaguely resembled ...
The journey starts
... Surrounded by wooded hills, it is a former monastery. Our accommodation was excellent, an apartment no less. Unpacked bikes, affixed pedals, panniers - are we really going to carry that much?? Already we have had numerous conversations with others and everyone talks about shedding "stuff". We have had our first practice ride, three Km to the next village which has a supermarket. It is early autumn, still warm, not even cold at night yet. Tomorrow we practise with panniers ...
Finally some ocean!
... shopping and little bars. When we were settled in it felt good to cook our own food and stay in one place for a while and have a break from 'travelling.' Luckily we were right near the ocean and in the middle of Biarritz and every day we went for a walk along the rocky cliffs and around town to see what else we could discover. There was sadly no surf for Tom so we had to find other ways to keep entertained. In France baguettes and crepes are eaten very regularly. Our favourite crepes ...
El Camino: Day 1
We woke up at 6, packed our backpacks, and headed downstairs for breakfast. Typical for a European breakfast, we had sliced French bread with strawberry and apricot jam. We filled up our water and headed outside. Colder than expected, we all had on as many layers as we brought with us. Taking the first steps out of town, I couldn't believe we were starting The Camino- on Pentecost! We all thought it was pretty ...

Continental Airlines Inaugurates Nonstop Houston Service From Oakland International Airport 06/14/2000
Continental Airlines OAKLAND, California, June 14, 2000 - Continental Airlines today launched twice-daily nonstop service to Houston from its newest San Francisco Bay Area gateway at Oakland International Airport.
"We are delighted to have Continental Airlines join the Oakland International Airport family," said Steve Grossman, Director of Aviation. "Continental consistently is ranked by consumers and business publications as one of the best U.S. carriers for in-flight comfort and service, qualities that are demanded by our passengers."
Oakland City Council President Ignacio de la Fuente, Oakland Board of Port Commissioners President John Loh, Aviation Director Steve Grossman, and Continental Airlines Senior Director of Sales for the Western Region Marguerite Lennon led today's inaugural ceremonies. Strolling Texas Bluegrass musicians and a water arch courtesy of the airport firefighters of the Oakland Fire Department added to the inaugural festivities.
Continental will use Boeing 737-500 aircraft, configured to two levels of service with 10 seats in First Class and 94 in Economy Class. The flights will operate from Gate 3 in Terminal One.
The following is Continental's flight schedule between Oakland International Airport (OAK) and Houston (IAH):
Additionally, Continental Airlines announced last month that it would serve the New York area with twice-daily service from Oakland International Airport, beginning August 1.
For more information or to make reservations, call Continental Airlines at 1-800-525-0280, visit their web site at www.continental.com or call your professional travel agent.
Oakland International Airport served more than 9.8 million passengers and handled nearly 700,000 metric tons of air cargo in 1999. Oakland International has more than 160 flights per day on 12 domestic and international carriers. The airport is a revenue division of the Port of Oakland, an independent department of the city of Oakland.

They are you know. Just look at this poor girl:
Mercilessly mocking people who protest against human rights becomes pretty easy when they are talking about boycotting cookies. Yes, I said they are boycotting cookies.
While this is all really silly it does represent a bigger problem that most seem to be ignoring: the power of the media to make a non-issue an issue. Mainly the media are just playing a numbers game when they appeal to the sensitivity of the religious right. They have been doing this for decades because they represent such a large, vocal cohort. This vocalization in turn causes strong reactions from opponents to the religious right and a field day for news programs and talk shows. Stirring up the hornet's nest of the religious makes for dramatic programming and higher ratings. This works for radio, newspaper and internet websites too.
Politicians, of course, ride the media storm waves all the way to election wins. Once the media has managed to get religious fundamentalists all worked up over something they eagerly vote for the person that they think supports how they feel and they vote in very large numbers. It's a win-win for both media and politicians, neither of which have a reputation for sincerity.
To most of us the sleazy appeal to emotion at the cost of human rights is transparent and we would gladly laugh and ignore it but we can't. We can't because the media is bringing in ratings and politicians are bringing in votes at the expense of basic human rights. So we are forced to fight.
It is especially sad when one considers a few other things like:
Now let's take a look at some other facts rather quickly:
All this time, energy and money against two people trying to get married. When one considers things like childhood disease, poverty, child rape and coverup, spousal abuse, drugs, and the crimes of bid industry we have to ask ourselves: What is wrong with a movement that considers two complete strangers getting married a bigger problem than children in agony? Indoctrination by the media and people in authority is a weak excuse for what is not only hate and discrimination but a shockingly poor sense of priorities.

anyone familiar with the omega duos? any comments on its plus and minuses?
I recently listed quite long to both the Duo and the Uno, and finally traded my Living Voice's in and bought a pair of Unos. The UNO's were more intimate than the DUO's. You sit closer to the music. I noticed no horn colouration and unless you sit a meter for the loudspeaker you can integrate the horns with the woofers.
Both loudspeakers are extremely dynamic and extremely open, especially in the mids and highs. They are so revealling that you need a good setup cause you will hear everything. Listening to a Mahler symphonly, it's easy to pick out the individual instruments, without loosing the overall picture.
The combine wonderfull with my 300B tube amplifier from Italy, but I also heard them on a Audio Note Meishu and a Accuphase E-560 with good results.
You can get the horns in differents colours to match your room and since you can change the crossover frequency I was able to set them closer to the back wall then my previous speakers. Both speakers will work in room starting from 20 square meters.
Minuses from my experience, the burn-in time is very very long and I may want to neutralize the highs/mid a little by picking a Furutech FS Alpha loudspeaker cable for instance instead of the current 47 Labs OTA cable.
Anyway, since they are so "extreme" (in a good sense) you need to listen to this speaker, cause you will hate them of love them.
Me, I love them.
Just a few extra notes, they combined also quite well with Manley, but were a terrible combination with Bryston
thanks very much for the info. thats one thing that i find the AG's weakness to integrate the mid highs with the woofers. somehow i cant get it to sound fully integrated but again maybe the burn in time is very long. hope things improve over time. tx again Vic
I hear and read that a lot, that people don't get the AG's to intergrate. Remember that on the back of the speaker you can set the crossover frequency and the volume of the subwoofer. They did this to integrate the speakers into almost every listening environment.
It's a difficult job, cause these speakers are so tranparent that you will notice ever movement. Remember that the midrange horn has no crossover! You will hear everything that is physically possible
I had a problem that the sound of the right box was arriving slightly earlier to the listening chair that the sound of the left speaker. After some measurement it turned out that the right speaker was half an inch closer than the left speaker...
This is one speaker that you can test the skills of your dealer with. A good one will leave you happy, a bad one...well you can guess.
For the DIY just check former AG importer Jim Smith's Get Better Sound book. The best audio book I have ever read, with a good explanation how to setup speakers.
One last thing, try unshielded powercables...
On the integration problem i guess time is of the essence. with time and patience in tweaking the xover points, you can get it close. although i still think the amp supplied to the subs is probably not as good as the amps driving the mids n highs.
I had a similar problem on imbalance n going nuts about it. i am having a problem of the left box actually sounding louder? causing the imaging of vocals to be off center. i have to admit the room is not accoustically great. the left box is closer to the left wall while the right speaker does not have a right wall!! haha. might that be the case? staging to the right is not focused like the one on the left. correcting this with physical position of the left speaker results in an annoying off center visual.

We are a young couple without drama, enjoy welcoming guests, showing all the little secrets of Paris. We like to share our multi-racial cultures and make our guest feel home.
Hey Guis, So we got to Scotty's house on 30th dec with a bad cold weather and was the first time for me using AIRBNB system. Well, after a couple of mail and sms we got out the Tram in south Paris and He was there waitin' for us (super) and Man should never come to quick to conclusion coz we found a really kind host. We got at the 10th floor of a building in the south cinese quartier in Paris and the house was full of stuff but quite clean. We got a tiny but good looking room, on the top of a furniture, fresh towels with a soap tablet on top. After taking a shower we just found the room a little bit cold coz the strong cold wind maybe like leakin' through the windows but after plugin' and closing few air ventilations point on the window was ok. (little dirty job). In room there was a clothes hanger and a fan, two chairs and a small table. They are really nice people and I found later myself in the livin' room with a bunch of nice Japanese people eating delicious Okonomiyaki. Not bad as It began.. the rest of 4 days we spent there we had also the possibility to buy some food in the supermarket downstairs, and leave it in the refrigeretor where we got a free shelf. Scotty's mother is a really lovely person I spent little time talkin' with her, very friendly and she helped us in the kitchen. In the room just some noise from the street downstairs but not too early in the morning, so no problem. People around in the night didn't look so friendly and THIS could be a problem. but it's Paris so.. I liked a lot the first experience with AirBnB coz You get in direct contact with the people livin' in a country and make friends. Thanx
Scotty is very polite and kind ! I was satisfied with the room, the location and the cleanliness. I can can fully recommend staying here! Metro is close, fast line, 10 minutes you are at Chatelet which is important! Scotty answered quickly, big thanks! I would recomend to stay here !
Scotty was a gracious host. We were very satisfied with the room, the location and the cleanliness. We can fully recommend staying here! Metro is close, which is important! Scotty answered quickly, big thanks!
My husband and I stayed at Scotty's apartment and had a perfect long weekend in Paris. His mother Corinne met us at the train station, showed us our bus route, and allowed us to drop our bags off in no time. She gave us a quick tour of the neighborhood, where to change money, metro stops, and the local gallery. The apartment is full of color and culture, with an intimacey that felt like home, and Corrine's company and conversations are my most treasured moments in a fabulous city. Scotty has a beautiful wife and mother, and I hope to see them whenever I come to Paris again.
Scotty and his family were very welcoming and helped show me around the metro system. Very hospitable and also he came to pick me up at the train station. The area is convenient, in chinatown and near the metro. Thanks Scotty!
Scotty was a very pleasant host. He helped my husband and I save money by purchasing a Metro pass for one week instead of daily trips and taxi's. He also took us on a tour of the neighborhood the first day we arrived so we would be acclimated to the area--were the grocery stores and bakery shops were. We feel like we have made friends for a lifetime and hope to visit again in the future. Thanks so much!
Scotty was very organized,relax and clean.He observed all the rules from the apartament.I definitly recommend Him.
Un couple absolument charmant, agréable, très bien éduqués. Respectueux des lieux . A recommander sans hésiter.
Scotty and his wife are perfect guest...nice, quiet, friendly and very clean. I loved having them as my guest. 100% recommended!!

Yes, that's what I have - here in the South. It might not snow here much, but it does rain a lot, and you want an attached garage! It's a shame that SL does not offer many plans with an attached garage. It's common here to attach one via a breezeway, screened porch, or mud room, so that there is the appearance of a detached garage with the utility of an attached.

Stem cell-based regeneration depends partly on the delivery of stem cells to the damaged area. Recently in Nature Medicine, Sackstein et al., 2008 report that ex vivo fucosylation of surface CD44 promoted efficient adhesive interactions of manipulated mesenchymal stem cells with marrow vasculature and subsequent homing to endosteal surfaces.

Spring Fever: Cubs lineup, Broadcast Info for March 6, 2014
The Cubs look to get back into the win column this afternoon after losing an ugly game yesterday to the Rockies. One of the few bright spots yesterday was Javier Baez, he is not in today's starting lineup against the Indians.
1. Bonafacio– LF
2. Murphy – 3B
3. Schierholtz – RF
4. Rizzo – DH
5. Cstillo– C
6. Olt – 1B
7. Barney – SS
8. Almora – CF
9. Alcantara – 2B
SP – Travis Wood
It's almost like Rick Renteria and crew know how badly we want to see most of the top prospects together in the lineup at once and refuses to, but, that's his job to get everyone ready…. I guess.
No TV today, but there it MLB.com radio.
The snack of the day (Because why not, it's spring training)! The always delicious, Star Crunch, enjoy!
Cubs Lose Slop-fest, But Baez Homers!
Yeah, slop-fest. I wasn't quite sure how to spell that in the title, but it seemed appropriate given that this was, indeed, a slop-fest. The Cubs only had one error on the day, but the Rockies really messed things up and had five, yet still won the game. But the news of the day, as it is almost every day, is Javier Baez showing off his unfathomable power, everyone is really excited.
At the Plate:
- Josh Vitters, hello. Vitters entered the game in the sixth and ended the day going 2-for-2 with a run scored, and a dropped fly ball, filling up the score sheet.
- Javier Baez (!), Baez went 1-for-3 with his second home run of the spring season, an opposite field shot which continued to fuel the inter-webs desire for him to start with the Cubs… sorry, won't happen, hooray team control!
- George Kottaras has the backup catching spot locked down in my opinion, not only because we share the first name. Kottaras was 1-for-2 with his first home run of the season, which immediately followed Baez's shot.
On the Mound:
- Jeff Samardzija got the start today and was roughed up a bit, but was able to escape with a no decision. Shark went three innings giving up three runs on four hits while walking one, and striking out one.
- Jose Veras, the new Cubs closer, worked a scoreless inning, which was a nice rebound after his not so great debut.
- Pedro Strop also worked a scoreless inning, and didn't walk or strikeout anyone, madness.
- Chris Rusin was having a pretty solid outing until he lost command in the fateful seventh inning. Rusin worked 2.2 innings giving up three runs on three hits while walking two, and striking out one.
- Armando Rivero continues his push to make the Cubs bullpen with another solid outing, but he did have some trouble to work out of. Rivero worked a scoreless inning giving up three hits while striking out one.

Mike Olt Powers Cubs to Victory
For the second straight afternoon the Cubs showcased solid pitching, and big power, the result? Two straight wins.
At the Plate:
- Anthony Rizzo went 2-for-3 with a double, and two runs scored. Both hits came off left Tommy Milone, a good sign.
- Justin Ruggiano went 2-for-2 with his first home run of the spring, three RBI's, a walk, and a run scored.
- Nate Schierholtz started in the DH spot today and went 2-for-3 with a double.
- Mike Olt came up huge today in his only at bat. Olt hit a two-run pinch hit home run in the 8th to give the Cubs a three run lead.
On the Mound:
- Kyle Hendricks made his spring debut and struggled with his control but was able to work out of trouble. Hendricks worked two innings, giving up one run, on one hit, while walking three, and striking out two.
- Carlos Pimentel was outstanding this afternoon as he worked two scoreless innings giving up one hit, while walking two, and striking out two.
- Jonathan Sanchez who is vying for a spot out of the bullpen was roughed up in this one. Sanchez worked two innings giving up two runs on four hits while walking one, and striking out one.
- Neil Ramirez, and Zac Rosscup each worked a scoreless inning in relief with Rosscup picking up the win.
- Brian Schlitter worked the ninth for his first save of the spring, but it wasn't without issues. Thanks to a couple of errors, including one by Schlitter, the A's threatened to tie things up. Schlitter worked one inning giving up one run, unearned, on two hits while striking out one.
Starlin Castro to Miss 7-10 Days
Starlin Castro had a solid start to Spring Training, unfortunately he will have to wait 7-10 days to build on that. After getting hit by a pitch in his first at bat yesterday, Castro was caught stealing and apparently tweaked his right hamstring. He was removed from the game, and the news from the Cubs is that he will be out for 7-10 days. All things considered, it's minor, and it's at the beginning of Spring, so it could be worse, but I'm sure he wants to be out there proving to everyone that 2013 was more the exception than the rule.

February 27th Wrap Up; Box Score, Impressions, Video
Off and not exactly running for the Cubs as they fell to the Diamondbacks this afternoon 5-2 in their Cactus League opener. The star of the show today was the debut of new Cubs Park in Mesa, by everyone's account it is the best Spring facility there is for the players and fans.
- Jeff Samardzija got the start and was a little too amped up as he walked the first batter of the game on four straight pitches. Samardzija settled down after that, and had a rather solid spring debut against a stout Diamondbacks lineup. Shark worked two scoreless innings giving up two hits while walking one, and striking out two.
- Starlin Castro looked really good at the plate on a day when Cubs hitters were anything but comfortable. On the day, the Cubs had five hits as a team, Castro ended with two of them. He finished the day 2-for-2 with a double, and an RBI.
- Two of the newest members of the Cubs bullpen struggled today, as both Wesley Wright, and Jose Veras were beat up. Wright, who took the loss, worked one inning giving up three runs on two hits while striking out three. Veras worked an inning, giving up two runs on two hits while walking one and striking out one.
- Hector Rondon, and Justin Grimm impressed out of the bullpen today. Grimm touched 97 on the gun while working a scoreless inning. Rondon also worked a scoreless inning, and struck out the side in doing so.
The Cubs will travel to Tempe tomorrow afternoon to take on the Angels beginning at 2:05 PM CST.
