Testing has been a contentious issue in public schools this academic year (see here, here and here, among others) and one lawmakers, and Gov. Rick Scott, have promised to address. A first bill on testing had already been introduced for the upcoming 2015 legislative session -- and we'd bet there will be several more to come.
The first bill (SB 100), was filed by Sen. Aaron Bean, R-Fernandina Beach, and aims to limit the number of days school districts can use for testing, holding that to 10 unless the local School Board approves an expanded testing calendar.
The bill seems to enter into the who-is-to-blame-for-so-much-testing debate by saying, in effect, that it's the school districts' fault.
District administrators, of course, argue that many of the tests they give are required in some way by state law.
But some concede they've mandated plenty of their own, too. And some districts, including Lake County's and Miami-Dade County's, have made public efforts this schoo lyear to curtail the...Read more
Florida likes to tout its educational achievements, and by many measures, it has reason to crow. But it's high school students lag on math, posting test scores well below counterparts in other states -- and countries.
"We've got a lot of work to do," said John Padget, a member of the State Board of Education last week.
Padget noted the journal Education Next's fall issue, which pinned Florida's Class of 2015 -- this year's seniors -- as ranked 42nd among the states on math achievement. Florida students were behind Georgia's, South Carolina's and Texas', among many others.
The analysis also showed that while Florida lagged behind
many other states in high school math achievement, the country lagged behind other developed countries. That was true even when comparing students from similarly educated families. Then the U.S. was behind the Czech Republic and Norway, Australia and Portugal, to name a few.
"While we are all proud of certain successes in Florida, my feet were brought back to...Read more
A Lake Nona High School science teacher who left a disabled student behind during a fire drill Oct. 2 admits doing so, but says she felt she had no choice.
First-year teacher Colleen Wasylik Shytle said she left the student, who uses a walker, because an expected escort did not arrive for him. She gave her account in a seven-page letter added to her file with Orange County Public Schools after her resignation. The letter also gives her explanation of several other performance issues, including allegations that she pulled a student by the ear and demeaned students in class.
Concerning the fire drill incident, Shytle wrote that an escort usually accompanied the student, who had difficulty walking, but no one arrived to help prior to or during the fire drill. She said she felt she could not safely support the student and left him to be with her other students, who had already left the building.
"I was left in a situation where regardless of what I did, I would be leaving students without...Read more

Former Gov. Jeb Bush opened his annual education conference this morning in Washington, D.C. with a dig at Orange County schools. Bush criticized the school district for its new grading policy that he said lowered academic expectations "in order to protect students' self-esteem."
Bush was the keynote speaker at the "National Summit on Education Reform," an annual event put on by his Foundation for Excellence in Education. In his speech, he highlighted Florida's educational improvements of the past decade -- including higher reading scores for poor and minority students -- and urged lawmakers and state leaders to push for the policies that will further improve public education in the U.S.
He mentioned Orange County schools when he argued that other countries' students are out-performing those in the U.S.
The Orange County School Board last week decided that no student grade at the end of a grading period could be lower than a 50. While a 50 is still a failing mark, the policy means...Read more

If you live on The Green you will have noticed a majestic looking hillside restaurant that is romantically lit at night. We live right under it and it wasn't long until curiosity got the better of this cat. Bukit Pelayangan Resto , BUPE for short is tucked away down a kampung lane way on the left just as you come off the toll and past the Green. It's done in a very nice manner. A real pleasure to eat there.
They do a very good Sop Buntut on a tripod burner thingy, which keeps it nice and hot with a generous serving of veggies in the sop. It can get a bit hot at lunch time.
The view is pretty good. You can see our house….well you can see our roof. Night time the view is just as good, maybe a little more romantic and if you are lucky to get a nice breeze, it's pretty hard to beat.
Also good on the menu ; Sop Iga , Ikan Gurame , Tempe , Tahu , Kelapa Muda , Sambal . Good Javanese cooking the way it should be. Well this is turning out to be quite a plug, so I guess I should ask for a discount next time we are there. Last time we saw a pretty good thunderstorm breaking over the Green and beyond.

THQ Assets Being Sold
The ship for the once great publishing giant has sailed, and with its death, a large number of people are out of jobs. I've seen this occurrence all too many times in the past five years since I've been gaming. Too many times for one teenager to see in such a short period of time.
What's even stranger to think about is how many developers from the original Xbox days that I never saw make a comfortable transition over to the 360. Does that say something about how memorable those games must not have been for me to not have a memory of them? Probably, but I don't think it's worth making an argument out of.
What we're here for is to discuss the future of the developers that were fortunate enough to be offered publishing by THQ before its collapse late last year. It's been a very difficult few months for the game creators and game players, altogether.
SEGA has agreed to buy Relic, the guys who pushed Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. You probably remember SEGA most from the days of Sonic the Hedgehog, Jet Set Radio and Phantasy Star Universe. You need not worry about their dedication to games, as it's clear they commit the utmost amount of passion and enthusiasm to the games they publish. Here's to the prospering and future existence of SEGA's endeavors with Relic.
Koch Media, the guys publishing Dead Island, have agreed to purchase the rights to Volition. Most notably, everyone knows Volition's development on the Saints Row series has gained some critical acclaim amongst free roam enthusiasts and fan boys alike since the third installation made its splash on the gaming world back in 2011. Damn, has it been that long already?
We should keep our eyes on the calendar, folks.
Here's to Koch Media leading the reins of Saints Row in the right direction for its future goals with Volition.
Crytek, whom all of you have to know as the publishers behind the upcoming first person blockbuster Crysis 3, have bought the publishing rights to the Homefront series. This is exceptionally great news for Homefront fans who were disappointed to see Homefront's development cancelled by THQ after inadequate sales figures for the original IP.
Now it seems Crytek is in talks of developing a second Homefront!! WHOOOOT!!!
Take Two Interactive have their eyes set on Turtle Rock Studios' somewhat secretive project named Evolve.
Finally, Ubisoft has purchased the publishing rights to South Park: The Stick of Truth. This is particularly exciting, because once again, South Park is a game a lot of us didn't want to see pass us by. Ubisoft is most popular for their work with the Assassin's Creed franchise, which has spanned 5 HD console games, as well as a handful of handheld games devoted to the Assassin lore.
If they devote as much to South Park as they did towards the past six years of Assassin's Creed, we have a solid AAA title on our hands.
Sadly, Vigil Studios' license could not be acquired in time. Vigil Studios was most prominently known for their work with the Darksiders series', a third person, single player game that has you playing as War, one of the four horsemen of The Apocalypse.
To all those employees who've lost their jobs, I extend my sincerest apologies. I know it isn't easy at all to devote so many years of your life to a company, only to have it dissolve through no fault of your own. With hope, you will find future projects and companies that will be more than happy to value your work experience.
On a brighter note, perhaps THQ's dissolution might have been a positive for the sake of video games THQ never bothered to continue. The Red Faction and WWE series' are still under wraps for a possible buyer. We may not see these titles in the foreseeable future.
My hopes are for the best!

For Below the Sink,
Because good advice never goes bad…
So from my ears to yours!
I am starting a new series on the blog this week. A bit ago, after finishing one of my spa nights (also known as celebrate Amanda night) my boyfriend said to me, "The blog shouldn't be named Behind the Mirror, it should be behind the mirror, below the sink, and in the shower…" Later realizing I am not the only witty one living in this apartment, I got to thinking since so many of you enjoyed the Dior Skin Airflash review I will post reviews of products I love for Below the Sink! After all, we have to keep supplies there too.
So let's get real…
No one has time to wash & dry their hair every morning. Not only, is it not good for your hair to be washed every day, it is exhausting.
Batiste Dry Shampoo is the best morning routine advice I have ever heard!!!
The best part about this dry shampoo is the aerosol can. There is no point in buying a dry shampoo that is a powder. If you prefer a powder then you are wasting your money on dry shampoos and should buy a bottle of baby powder…
I prefer the original version. Although they have batiste for blondes, brunettes, different scents, and more, I am sure they all work equally as good. When I started using Batiste those versions didn't exist. I like to stick with what I know.
Here are the tips and tricks:
1. Shake well.
2. Part hair in different spots.
3. Spray from about 12 inches away from hair.
4. Massage through hair with fingertips.
5. Brush out.
Enjoy some dirty hair that feels clean, fragrant, and full of body.
"If you ain't dirty you ain't here to party."

Fall Leaf Collection begins Monday October 6th. We will continue to collect leaves and yard waste as long as weather permits, usually into the first week of December. You may also bring your material to our drop off sites.
Find out where our crews are in your neighborhood.
Fall Leaf collection begins Monday October 6th. During the first two weeks of the program we limit the number of crews assigned to to the program due to the low work load. We will gradually increase our staffing as the volume of material picks up. There are no set number of rounds of collection in the fall. The program will continue as long as weather permits.
Use the links below to access maps of each collection district. These maps will provide more detailed information on our location in the area we are currently working in. If we are no in your area, you will find our best estimate of when we plan to get to your refuse collection district.
I live on the East Side (includes downtown)
How should I put my leaves and yard waste out for collection?
We prefer that you pile your leaves loose at the street edge. Keep leaves separate from brush and avoid piling them around or next too mail boxes, trees and utility poles. Do not put leaves in the street. When you put leaves in the streets they can be washed into our lakes where the nutrients contribute to algae growth. It is also against Madison Ordinance to place leaf piles in the street.
You may cover your leaf piles with tarps of plastic sheeting to prevent them from blowing around.
If you must bag your leaves, please leave the bags open at the top and use compostable paper leaf bags if possible. This will help us identify what is in the bags and will speed collection as all plastic bags must be emptied.
No, we are also collecting yard and garden waste. Yard waste is grass clippings, leaves, plant debris and twigs less than 18" long. You can also place your pumpkins with your leaves for collection. Just add your pumpkins to your leave pile and they will be composted.

A ticket to a Justin Bieber concert is often worth way more than its price tag. To give up a pair of tickets, might be a cardinal sin to some "beliebers."
"My mom told me that it's good to give back and pay it forward," said Destiney Chitrodom. "So, I thought since I've seen Justin two times, I thought it would be good to let another kid experience what I've experienced."
So, Chitrodom called up Children's Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha. Hospital staff then called Erin Koesters and her daughter, Emily.
On Wednesday night, they met each other for the first time. Chitrodom gave her tickets to Emily.
"It was really exciting because she had a huge smile on her face and I knew that I made her happy," said Chitrodom.

|All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures, great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
-Cecil Frances Alexander
A reverence for nature, a love for all of God's creatures, respect for life, compassion, selflessness, responsibility, joy--all were learned and cultivated in my boy through the care and keeping of his rats.
Remus and his brother Romulus joined our family two and a half years ago after being rescued from the feeder rat cage at the pet store. My oldest has an established pet sitting business, doing everything from feeding cats and walking dogs to caring for exotic pets both in their homes and ours. One client had him take care of her rats in our home because she was suffering from a serious illness and had her home on the market to sell. She couldn't care for all her many creatures, and so she placed the two rats in my son's care. He grew to really love them, and when she was unable to take them back after three months due to her illness, she asked him if he would like to keep them. He, of course, said he did, and they lived with us for almost a year. They were already senior citizens when he took them in, and they lived a very comfortable and busy life. After their passing, my son really wanted to continue to be a rat owner, so we decided to rescue some from the pet store.
I have to admit that I was not a rat person when the first two entered our lives. My only experience with rats had been with a very wild and high-jumping one that had infiltrated our pantry through a hole left by the plumber--no fun at all. However, after a few days with Tonks and Bella, I realized how fun they really were. They were clean, smart, and much easier to take care of than any other pocket-pet we'd ever had. They slept all night (unlike hamsters,) and they were sweet and gentle and loved to be held (unlike hamsters,) and they were clean and fastidious with their nests. They quickly became part of our family.
If my 13-year-old's bedroom door is ever closed, it is because he is holding the rats or has his cockatiel out of her cage and doesn't want the cats to come into his room. He can be found sitting on his bed playing his guitar or reading a book with his bird sitting on his head and a rat nestled in the crook of his arm. He keeps their cages in order, and he cleans their bowls and prepares fresh food and water for them every day. He is diligent and responsible and caring and loving. For the past two weeks as Remus had started ailing, my son hand fed him with baby food and chunks of melon. Remus finally quit eating or drinking, and he passed away last night. My son kept vigil last night, holding Remus and checking on him regularly. When he came to wake me up at 3:30, he told me he thought Remus had died. He held him tenderly, and we wrapped him in a blanket and prepared a box for him.
I have watched my son grow this year from a boy to almost a man as he has shot up in height and his voice has gotten deeper, but he showed his true maturity over these past weeks as he cared for Remus.

WILL Highlights
Rick Steves is Coming to Town!
The popular travel writer and public TV host will share what he's learned in 30 years of travel during a special fundraising event at 6 pm Thursday, March 14, at the I Hotel in Champaign. Keep reading to find out how to get tickets.
Tickets are $35. Seating is limited. To make your reservation, email WILL's Tracy Wikoff at email@example.com or call her at 217-333-7300.
Steves, host of the public television series, Rick Steves' Europe on WILL-TV and WILL-AM's Travel with Rick Steves, will talk about how travel has broadened his perspective and why that matters. Included are tidbits such as why India is his favorite country, why trains are pulling into European stations with birds squished onto their windshields, and how travel challenges truths we've always just assumed were "self-evident and God-given."
From Kurdish wood carvers proudly holding up their chisels to teary-eyed Germans atop their new parliament building, the world is changing and America is challenged, says Steves. Today's travel writer can be much like the medieval court jester, he says. He can bring home the truth and not get killed.
Steves will be a guest on WILL-AM's Focus at 10 am Wednesday, Feb. 27. Do you have questions for him? Send them to firstname.lastname@example.com, post them on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/Focus580 or tweet us at @Focus580. You can also call in during the show.

Peony Growers Peonyshop.com at this time specifically concentrates at increasing unique, high superior quality peonies. This hasn't been always the main scenario. This specific firm carries a rich back ground starting off in 1875 with Simon Scholten that has been growing vegetables for her income.
In the year 2001 this particular firm created their very own modern advertising-label & brand "Peonyshop.com" and as a result they started concentrating on growing exceptional peonies. During the year 2002 the firm launched their very own on-line peonyshop together with Peonies & Buxus. During 2003 Joshua Scholten began with multiplying peonies. Than in 2004 this business began to foreign trade peonies from the Netherlands throughout Europe, Usa and additionally Asian countries.
Right now our peony nursery is specialised in growing and spreading exceptional, high-quality peony roots that happen to be sold and released globally. Aside from that we additionally cut peonies mainly supporting the Dutch peony flower market place.The things we pride:
The fall season is truly the right moment for seeding peonies. A lot of peonies are generally amazingly long-term-lived plants staying alive nearly 50 to a max of 70 yrs, so as soon an individual have them placed in the correct manner, an individual definitely will enjoy them for years. These plants have a preference for the sunlit spot together with a well-drained soil. A high quality air circulation available around the plant is also essential. These special surroundings assist these plants to prevent disease problems. To prepare a seeding hole for a bareroot peony, dig the soil to a level of 12-18". Work with garden tools to release the edges of the particular growing hole as well. It is always extremely crucial that the particular "eye", or growth, nodes, located close to the base of the old stem, end up no greater than Two inch below the soil surface area.

ROCK COUNTY (WIFR)-- Rock County deputies responded to a call which then lead them to find a man who appeared to be unconscious in his vehicle near the intersection of South LaPrairie Town Hall Road and East Maple Lane about 5 miles southeast of Janesville.
Deputies found Jimmy Walls of Beloit, sleeping in the driver's seat of his pickup truck while it was still running. Once deputies woke 43 year-old Walls they noticed he smelled of alcohol. Deputies also found an open bottle of liquor inside his truck. Walls was then given a field sobriety test which lead to his arrest for Operating While Intoxicated.
Walls' driving record revealed that he already has 6 prior OWI convictions. Walls was transported to the Rock County Jail where he submitted a breath test that showed his blood alcohol concentration was .279.

Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke has withdrawn his offer to purchase the former Harriet Tubman public housing site for $1 million.
This summer Berke had proposed purchasing the 35-acre tract of public housing from the Chattanooga Housing Authority and turing the land into an industrial site.
Berke announced today that he was taking the offer off the table.
"It is clear that CHA will accept the highest bid, which is an amount beyond what we are willing to pay," he said in a prepared statement.

Mon Nouvelle Appartement
I feel at peace in my new apartment. Even though I'll only be here for a month and a half I'm so glad that I was able to make it my own during that time.
It's been a rush looking for the perfect place (14 visits in 2 weeks) but it was worth the wait. The apartment is just two streets over from the magnificent Madeline. I actually really disliked this church when I first visited Paris 6 years ago. The doors were beautiful but the inside lacked the clean renovations that were going on in other huge churches. The walls are black with age, so dark you can barely see the paintings. Only the main fresco above the altar is carefully restored. When my sister visited she asked if there had been a fire in the church because it looked like soot covered the walls.
I think that's why I like the church now though. Very few tourists have it on their must see list. Unlike the Notre Dame, there aren't massive posters and TV screens plastered along the perimeter. It's a peaceful oasis if only for a little bit from the hustle and bustle of the area.
The apartment itself is up 6 flights of winding, brutal stairs. The type where you would get nervous if there wasn't a handrail.
When I first visited, I didn't know what to expect. A couple of tiles were missing along the way and the wall was a bit scraped up.
But I've learned that you can't judge an apartment by its stairwell or door for that matter. What's behind could be quite the gem. :-)
I love the apartment itself but I think my favorite thing is the view. I'll stand by one of the five windows feeling the breeze and watching what is going on below.
Oh and I love the full sized oven too. :-D
Moving in was an experience in itself. My amazing friends showed up at 9:20 in the morning took a look at my multiple suitcases and grabbed the biggest ones. Leaving me with a rolling bag and two smaller bags. Walking to the metro was a hoot- we got so many looks. Hahaha Luckily it was a straight shot on Line 8 to Madeline. A block walk and we were there facing a 6 story walk up in what was already 80 degree heat. Who steps in though to help? The construction guys that we met along the hike up! Each one kept taking a bag to where I was left with a small bag, Kathrin had just a backpack and Tina- no bags at all! Haha
When we thanked them they said- it was the Parisian way, no need for thanks. :-)
Un Coup de Chance?
Last time we talked things were a bit hectic. I had a couple of days until the end of the month, had visited upwards of 10 apartments and still hadn't found the one. Jerome of the mini house down a corridor between two apartment buildings emailed me back and unfortunately I was considering it. Don't worry. I was convinced otherwise pretty easily. I just had to look at the picture of the place again. haha
Five days before I had to move out I had another rendezvous. Let's call this number 12 because I'm starting to lose track. :-D This one was in prostitute land (Strasbourg/St.Denis area). It actually wasn't as bad as the first apartment I visited in the area. We only saw sexy ladies reading conversation starter books by the metro which I could technically avoid. We got to the apartment right on time (Tina was coming along as my translator. :-D). I called the lady and we waited. I texted. I sent her an email. We waited.. for 20 minutes. Then decided to get a bagel at the cute bagel sandwich place down the street. Just as we were checking out a frantic call from the owner- I'm so sorry!! I was running late! Can you come now?!" Twenty minutes later we were at the apartment and I was in love. Give me an all white apartment with wood flooring and exposed beams and I'm done for.
It looked even better than the picture. Here's the thing though. I had to decide on the spot because she was leaving to move to Abu Dubai in a matter of hours. And unfortunately I was on the fence. She left for a couple minutes to give me time to think about it. The apartment was incredible-even the old man snoring across the courtyard was cute- but the prostitutes a couple streets away were giving me pause. I didn't know if it would be safe walking home late at night. We decided to walk around and look at the area a bit more than come back and let her know. The landlady came back in and before we even had a chance to tell her we were still thinking, she said the guy before me took it. I'm still regretting not taking it today. :-/
Four days left and I was at school, majorly stressing, and thought, hmm let's just see if they have any ideas. So I asked at the front desk and they actually had a person dedicated to helping students find housing. What?! And she was there, on a Saturday and I could go see her! Hopes high, I headed up the stairs and chatted with the lady. She first misunderstood me and thought I was looking for something in September, ha. When I said August, the conversation came to a standstill. August…. That's in four days… hmmm A little thinking then! "Actually there's a lady Madame C who has called every day for the past week." A quick call and I had a rendezvous in 30 minutes at an apartment right down the street from where I currently lived. Bingo! Tina and I started walking over, hopes high! Was my search turning around?
As we got nearer to the address my excitement started to wane. A modern building…. Nooo! Yes this is ridiculous but I really wanted to stay in an old Parisian building. Up the elevator we went and wow, pleasant shock! A cute elderly lady met us, door wide open, huge smile on her face and the tour began. I would have my own room with a super comfy looking bed and desk. There were two Americans staying in the room to the right, she was in the room to the left. Hm. Nice shower/bathroom. Huge living room and kitchen that I would have access too. She would be gone August 1-23 and so would the other two Americans, so I would be alone. Hm.. The tour ended with a look at her cute grandkids including a 27 year old. Hmmm… I could stay as long or short as I wanted. Think about it she said and we headed out.
My options were slim. Very slim. House sit for an old lady, continue my search, and hope that once the end of the month came I had a place. Or microscopic mini house.
The next day I was just about talked into the retirement home and super depressed about it. Ya it was just for one month, might actually be really neat, but it was not at all what I was looking for.
Then I got an email- "Have you decided about the apartment?" oo which apartment was this! The one by the Madeline! Nice! The drawback- it was only available for a month and a half. So I would have to keep looking for an apartment starting mid-September. We set up a visit. I saw the place turned around and said yes in a matter of seconds!
I mean look at this view!!!!
The next day I saw a post on Facebook. "I'm leaving to live in Beirut for 6 months and need to rent my place starting in September." Pounce! The exact time frame I was looking for. It was just two boulevards from the Champ de Mars too!! In my price range and looked cute (a little dorm roomy but I could work with it).
I have a RDV on Sunday so fingers crossed that this hunt will soon be over!
The Hunt.
The last couple of days have looked like this for me: Stare at the computer, refresh. wait! refresh. pounce! Email! Text! *silent prayer* please contact me!!!!
It's July and my lease ends at the end of the month. 5 days people! I'm frantic! Like a beast! rahr!
My search started easy and breezy enough. I'm on an amazing Facebook Expat group and a girl posted that her place was up for rent. The location? A street away from Hotel d'Ville. The dead center of Paris. Perfect? ohhhhh yes. Even better, the price! At 480 euros even though it was for just one month I was game. We met a couple of days later so I could see the place, she could meet me, and we could decide if it would work. She was incredible! An actress who had been living here for 7 years.
The place was beyond tiny (12m²) but ridiculously cute and filled with charm.The building? Old and looked like it was straight out of Harry Potter with exposed wood beams and long winding hallways.
The meeting went perfect- she said on the spot that the apartment was mine and we planned on meeting up mid-July to exchange half the rent, and then the other half when I got the keys at the beginning of August. Done! It was only for a month though and I needed a place until at least December. I figured an extra month for looking would actually be perfect- no rush, and I get to enjoy an awesome location while she was on vacation.
July 14th- Bastille Day. After partying all night at the Fireman's Ball, I get a text message. There was a major plumbing disaster. So bad that they would have to rip out the entire bathroom and there was no idea on when that would happen. My first thought, sheer terror- I have half a month to look!? Another text and slight relief- she had a friend that could rent to me for the month of August. Could I come visit that day? I hadn't gotten more than 3 hours of sleep the night before but gosh darn it my blood was pumping and I was going to that visit!!
Her friends place was quite the hike- 35 minutes by metro from my current place, and almost to Montmartre. For me, that was the first sign (15 minute walk to Montmartre…). That's far. Real far for me and would require a lot of metro time. The apartment was adorable.
Here's a pic of an apartment off the courtyard of her place:
Her friend was a photographer. There were film rolls as fun curtains into the living area, separate kitchen, loft bed, area for chatting with friends. Awesome! Loved it!! I told them on the spot (in my panic at my current situation) that I would take it! Plans were made and all was set and then I got to thinking.
On the long train ride home.
Did I really like the area?
Did I want to take the metro for what would end of being 45 minutes to get to school? The apartment was cute, the owner was great, but did I want to settle for a month? Also, I was getting a not so great vibe about the area. It looked like it'd been around the block and, a huge thing for me, there wasn't a lot to do nearby! No park where I could go running around the Eiffel Tower (man am I spoiled with my current location!). But that started to become really important to me. I like being outdoors and the thought of coming back to an apartment and not feeling like I could walk around, or walk to a park nearby was really nagging at me.
After chatting with my friends, I texted her back and said I needed a couple days to think about it. After those couple of days, I wrote back and said I was going to keep looking.
Good idea? who knows? Madness ensued.
One of my friend's said they had heard apartment hunting in Paris was worse than NYC and even though I have not looked for an apartment there, I'm about 90% sure that statement is correct. Planning to go the un-agency route and save potentially $1000 (or more), I started checking pap.fr and leboncoin.com constantly. I sent email upon email to potential apartments in French asking to see the place.
Apartment searching in Paris is unlike any type of search I've ever done in the States. In Dallas, I would use a free service online to find a complex I liked, or just drive by the area and walk in to find super helpful people (usually) trying to sell me the apartment. dum de dum dum dum It was easy- did I like the apartment/area? Was there anything available for the dates I needed? A quick view of an apartment similar to one that I would get and boom- lease signed, good to go.
In Paris, it's different. The principal is the same- but instead of apartment complexes, you have apartment owners. French apartment owners. And instead of helpful apartment rental people, you have a visit consisting of an interview where the owner decides if he/she likes you and if you are sufficient enough to rent the place.
So far I've visited 6 places…
The first apartment visit: I was beyond excited. I got a response from the ridiculous amount of emails I'd sent!! Traction!! The pictures online looked great. I knew the place was small, but I didn't care! The location was ideal! Down one of the boulevards that branched off the Arc de Triomphe. Everything looked great, except there were two small but very important footnotes.
The apartment was on the 10th floor. There was no elevator. oh- and there was mention that because of renovations to the apartment, the water unfortunately wasn't working for the next 6 months…
My unsuspecting friends tagged along for the ride. :-D
The building was beautiful, soul shatteringly so. One of those old Haussman buildings with ironwork terraces and ugly gargoyle faces. We waited. A couple more people showed up. The landlord came and we were led through a beautiful entry with a marble staircase to a door off the courtyard. The landlord open the door and muttered something in French. The other people nodded. I nodded. And the ascent began.
At points the stairs were pitchblack but at all times topsey turvey. Our glee at the site of the building soon turned to grumblings about never having to exercise again and how drunken nights up these stairs were entirely not possible. But at last we reached it. Woohoo apartment! We walked down a very tattered hallway to a tinsy tiny apartment with two sofa beds and a loft bed (why? who knows?) and a port hole for a window. I turn to the sink and looked at the handle. It was pushed all the way up and there was no water coming out! The landlord walks out of the apartment into the hallway bathroom and promptly turned on a garden hose in the toilet room. All four of us turned to each other and said No, No, No, Nope!! and bee-lined out and down a ridiculous amount of stairs, after saying merci– but of course!
The second apartment visit. The next apartment owner to bite was again in a very desirable location. Actually one of the most expensive streets to shop on, Avenue Montaigne. A hop skip and a jump from the Eiffel, by the Seine, and again in one of those beautiful old buildings. A little before our appointment meeting time, I texted the owner to let her know I was there. She promptly called and started a very long instruction list of how to get to the apartment in French.
Here's what I got: Entry code- check! hollars! I'm in the building! ok a la gauche- alle op! check! Elevator- check! Now how to get to the elevator behind the coded door- errr.. Lots of apologies- more French- me trying to speak French. And she hangs up.
I cross my fingers that she is coming down to pick me up. And yes she is, down the 6 flights of stairs she really didn't want to have to climb multiple times that day. whoops… And up we went, a little chatter in French about the weather and then questions- which not understanding well enough, I reverted to English, which received a "You're in France, you must speak French" from the landlady in perfect English. ah yes yes I know I know! I'm taking lessons.
We get there and voila- not too shabby- a king's palace compared to the last place! Itsy bitsy- 9² meters but very well taken care of, sofa bed, flat screen TV, two coffee machines… Exposed shower off to the side but in plain view (not a fan). The view- amazing. Arc de Triomphe to the right and the top of the Eiffel just visible over some buildings to the left.
Cool! Let's do it I say! Not so fast says the petite Asian lady. And then the lecture starts. I've received two lectures so far on my apartment visits and have found that landlords love to give advice on why you won't get the apartment to a guess help with your search?
Her reasons: Foreigners are hard to rent to but then she added that she rented to a Swedish girl previously? Four months for a rental period was unusual and she could only do three months- fine I say! ohhh but it will be difficult to extend it if you want too. ok? Something about French laws… I might have zoned out and looked at the view as my heartbeat started getting faster and faster. I left the place slightly panicked to the landlady saying- "I haven't said no, but I don't think it's possible." Well silly lady- I didn't want to rent from you anyways. :-P You lecturer you!
The third apartment visit. I was promptly learning that I should probably not get too excited about the apartments I visited. Securing this rendevzous was easy. An email, confirmation and done. Tina tagged along for the visit (thanks friend!!) to help with the French speaking. You know looking on a map, even using street view, does not give you the full effect of the location. (ps- I'm happy to visit any Paris apartment locations to check out the area for any readers looking to vacation or move here.) We were walking along, down a very busy street to the apartment when Tina says "Is that…?" Me clueless looking around, "Is that what?" Tina, "um a prostitute…" "No way! She's probably just waiting for someone." We continued our walk to inspect the area before the landlady arrived and passed a long alleyway with several ladies "hanging out" on apartment stoops, then another lady very literally.. hanging out.. with a parasol. The ladies of the night were upon us!! The apartment.. ya it was great but no. :-D
The fourth apartment non-visit. Un coup de chance (stroke of luck)?? It was in the 5th close to a friend of mine, a block from the Ile Saint Louis, a couple blocks from the Sorbonne, shall we say awesome? wait! no! not yet! Don't do it Molly!!!
I found the apartment on a site called sabbaticalhomes.com for students and professors while they are off studying. Huge bonus- everything was in English. I wrote the owner in English, got a response back saying they would love for me to come see the place and I was to call with any questions. The next day I called to the tune of a full blown interview- so tell me about yourself? But wait it was in English- so nailed it! Apartment visit on Tuesday- super excited! yes! I got the address of the apartment and walked by the area the next day. Incredible! It sounded like I had it in the bag. I even stopped looking for places. Not a good idea because a couple days later they emailed to say they were sorry but had rented it to the friend of the person that currently lived there. jrats! Serious bummer. I would have been on the third floor of this building!!!
So here we are it's July 25th and my search is getting quite frantic (but I think the owners are too). Here's a tip my friend told me- reach out in English! Before I had been writing in my broken French which probably wasn't all that enticing. In English, I can express myself better and I actually got a couple of what the call here- rendezvous! Two today, three tomorrow and one so far on Saturday.
The fifth apartment visit. It was great- loved the area! Parc Monceau was literally right down the street! The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The building was beautiful! And the landlord- AMAZING. He made every effort to speak with me… in English?! What! He was so incredibly nice and even lived in the complex and would be able to help at any time.
But then there was the apartment.
Let's call it the "mini apartment house."
It sounds really cool when you say that you'd potentially be living in a house inbetween two apartment buildings but unfortunately this is what you end up with. You enter the apartment through the left door. To your immediate right is a tinsy winding staircase to the second floor and two steps from the entrance, the bathroom and shower. Upstairs, a loft bed with built in desk along one wall. On the other, to either side of the staircase hole was the kitchen area (two hot plates and a sink) and a closet unit. I told him I would let him know… :-/ Then I promptly walked to the park and had a nice conversation *in French!!* with a very old man who asked me several times why I was sitting alone. haha
The sixth apartment visit. I knew I was done for the moment I started emailing this lady. She was brisk and wanted to rent the apartment asap. I said sure why not! A visit doesn't hurt. Right…?
Then a text war started.
We set a time 11:30 and she texted me the codes to the apartment building and the address and said to call at 11am. ok? Is the meeting moving to 11am? I texted back saying- great thank you, see you at 11am. She exclaims- appointment at 11am? 11:30? I reply- either time works, what is best for you? We set the time at 11:30. I show up at 11:30, text. She texts to take the elevator. I take the first one I see and end up on the sixth floor. The apartment is apparently on the 7th. I took the wrong elevator… a quick call and I'm on the right elevator (the one hidden in the courtyard behind the guardian).
We meet and it's French onslaught of questions. I freak! Incorrectly answering questions- how long will you be here? March. How long has your guarantor worked in France? 3 days? years! crap. Things were not going good. And the place was gosh darn cute! A little out of my budget but in the same area I currently lived and on a beautiful avenue with a view of the Invalides Dome where Napoleon is buried.
She stops me- "This is too complicated." In perfect English mind you.
Then the second lecture I've received in my apartment search… It wasn't going to work! Among the reasons that she didn't want to rent to me was the fact that I took the wrong elevator, the times got confused, I didn't have a dossier, and the garant was not present.
ok Thanks for the visit! I say walking to the door. She follows, hand on my back whisking me out.
Rejection! Noooo!!!! I wanted to go hide in a hole.
I went to prepare my dossier and hang my head at my apartment. Blast!
What did I need to include?! A big smile obviously wasn't working. I found an awesome post on apartment hunting in Paris and set to work. Frantic text to my mom for a letter from work saying I'd be working from home (thanks mom!!). Several texts to Jenni who works here in France to see if she could send me three months of paychecks and a garant letter (seriously amazing friend. thank you!!!).
Photocopies galore! Photocopy old guy asking me to go salsa dancing. 6 euro discount on 108 copies- bonus! Folders, paper clips, a pic of me, business card, visa/passport copies, reference letter from my current landlady (excellent suggestion mom!), and an attestation from the Cordon Bleu that I indeed was a student and had paid for my school in full. ok- I think I'm good. peut-etre..
Tomorrow I have a rendezvous with a Brit for a flat off Rue Moufftard and another loft in prostitute land area that I'm probably going to say no too. Saturday, the one I'm really hoping for. A place in the 17th. I have no clue what it looks like but the description sounds great and the location is awesome. Man do I love the 17th for maybe one reason too many – my new buddy from Parc Monceau of course. wink!
Wish me luck! Five days to go…
Le Tour de France!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously one of the coolest things I've done here in Paris! I think it's because every summer back in Texas we would watch it on TV and to see it in real life was just incredible!
I remember Rick Steves saying in one of his France shows that it's over in a second. Ya- tis true unless…. you're on the Champs Elysees and they do several laps!!! If I'm here next year for it, I'm TOTALLY going, to the final stage and maybe a smaller town. LOVED IT!!
We walked up toward the Champs Elysees from having a picnic at the Champs de Mars and were at a cafe eating when the planes flew over signaling the riders had come to Paris!
I also have a great love for Fighter Jets? I think it's the noise? rumble!!
ps- dinner was fantastic- smoked salmon on a bagel with avocado and cream cheese. I want another one!!!
The Crowd!!
You always knew the bikers were coming when everyone started cheering. I think I looked like this guy the entire time.
WOW! Seriously a split second and they were gone!
Peeps had some pretty ingenious viewing inventions too.. I mean look at this contraption!
We didn't quite make it to the Arc for the show but we did see it on one of the big screens they placed along the boulevard.
Even the Eiffel was all dressed up!
Chantilly Chateau
Another weekend! Another day trip option!
One of the best things about being abroad is the flexibility to travel to so many places at the drop of a hat. Cheap plane and train tickets are easy to get but only if you plan in advance. If you're like me though, that can be a bit difficult. But does that mean compromise on a quick trip? No way! There's several day trips outside of Paris and they're actually free if you go on a weekend and have a Navigo! So far we've been to Fontainebleu to see the Chateau and this weekend was a trip to Chantilly!
Chantilly is about 45 minutes outside of Paris and so so easy to get to with a 9 euro train ticket on the RER D from Chatelet Les Halles.
When you get there the chateau is about a 35 minute walk from the train station. Just follow the signs or the large groups of people!
Then have a picnic! Beatles music optional.
The Chateau is GORGEOUS!! Inside is one of the largest art collections (aside from the Louvre of course) in France!
We made our way into the gardens, which are massive! And French. And Beautiful! haha But there was a maze too with a huge chess board in a clearing, a children's play area with… sheep!! and a couple of restaurants. The gardens turn from prime, proper, "I'm going to trim this into an exact cone!" to swan chasing, lazy rivers and forests.
A little wander through the town's market… tehehe

One of the greatest things about running this website is that it allows me to constantly be on the lookout for great new business opportunities. I discovered one recently in the Love Maine Lobster Claw Game business opportunity from Marine Ecological Habitats, Inc.
The Love Maine Lobster Claw Game is like nothing you've ever seen, but you are undoubtedly familiar with the concept: A claw game is an arcade game in the form of a vending machine. It consists of prizes inside a clear cage with a claw at the ceiling of the cage. The player deposits money into the machine, and then tries to manipulate a joystick that controls the claw for a short period of time. The player is able to move the claw back and forth and sideways, but not up or down. At the end of the time, the claw drops down and attempts to grab the prize below it. The claw then automatically moves over an opening in the corner of the cage and releases whatever it holds. If the player has been successful, the prize the claw is holding is dropped into the opening and dispensed to a hatched box for pickup by the player. In the Love Maine Lobster Claw Game the cage is a professional-grade aquarium, and the prizes are live lobsters!
Players deposit $2 for 30 seconds of lobster wrangling. If they win, they can take the lobster home. If not, well, that's money in your pocket. The game is perfect for bars, restaurants and convenience stores.
This all cash business is not a franchise, and there are no commissions or ongoing fees. Marine Ecological Habitats, Inc. is offering a turnkey business opportunity:

My FishDuck Friends — I wish to roll out a new feature called "Scott's Turf" on the site that will appear on every Monday, which will have opinion-editorial pieces written by Scott Reed. Scott has been writing recruiting and game analyses articles every week for the Oregon franchise of Rivals.com Duck Sports Authority for many years. I've known him long before FishDuck.com began and have enjoyed his insight and commentary over the years. He will continue to contribute recruiting articles for DSA, but will be sharing his creative writing with us at FD.com.
As Oregon fans we all owe a bit of gratitude to Scott for his investigation into the Willie Lyles episode years back, as he unearthed and publicized important information unknown to the traditional media. The revelations brought to light resulted in a different national view of the incident, and consequently a different NCAA reaction to Oregon. His writing and research brought over 800,000 readers to his blog and established him as an Oregon writer to watch for and learn from. Mondays at FishDuck.com are going to be much more fun as we welcome Scott to the team!
Recruiting is an inexact science but one which is not subject to extreme oversimplifications. There is no formula and there is no slogan that makes recruiting simpler. "Always be closing" was a phrase popularized in the movie "Glengarry Glen Ross." Sounds simple enough to apply to college football recruiting, right? If only it were that simple, Oregon coaches would go to sales classes and be the best closers on the market. What seems to be forgotten is that at the major college football level, there are about 60 other teams, all with coaches who are trained to sell their programs, too.
This week, Oregon football fans were hit with a third loss in the quarterback recruiting bonanza as Blake Barnett, once thought to be a heavy Oregon lean, chose to commit to Alabama. After losing out on super talented Kyler Murray (Texas A&M) and Brady White (Arizona State), Duck fans were relieved when Barnett decommitted from Notre Dame. That relief quickly turned sour this past week.
The "always be closing" mentality is one in which a hard sell is a must. If a coach lets a prospect leave campus after a visit, be it official or unofficial, without asking for his verbal commitment, then he is not following the mantra.
That shtick works for coaches like Lane Kiffin; but that is not the way the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex was built. The Men of Oregon are grown and not closed upon. Sell the recruits what Oregon has to offer and let them make their choice based on information, not pressure.
Pressure to commit does not lead to solid commitments. Brian Kelly closed Blake Barnett, he got that commitment. Barnett's family was excited, Brian Kelly was excited. Then suddenly, a quick trip to Eugene and that commitment was as solid as the paper it was written on: worthless.
Lane Kiffin is a master salesman, but not a master coach. Last season's mess at USC was headlined by the ringmaster who sold just about every five-star kid on the glitz and glamour of playing for the Trojans in southern California. He parlayed a season without expectations where pressure to perform on the field was non-existent into a No. 1 ranking the following season. And then the house crumbled from within. Kiffin was unceremoniously fired midway through the 2013 football season.
Maybe Lane Kiffin becomes a better coach with Nick Saban pulling the strings. Maybe this Barnett commitment sticks. In the grand scheme of Oregon football though, it doesn't even matter.
A couple of years ago, Duck fans fretted at the loss of the highly ranked Brett Hundley to UCLA. Oregon signed a little heard of quarterback out of Hawaii who had never started a football game until his senior year of high school; Marcus Mariota turned out just fine.
Does that mean the Ducks will sign the next Mariota in the 2015 recruiting class? Maybe. Maybe not. One thing we know for sure is that the Ducks signed a very talented quarterback in 2014 named Morgan Mahalak. Like Mariota, Mahalak did not start as a quarterback until his senior season. He was stuck behind Jared Goff; the starting quarterback at Cal last season as a true freshman.
Rumor is that Mahalak may be even better. The good news? He gets to learn from the best to ever play at Oregon for a year before he will be needed. Between now and then, another player may come who is even more talented, rated higher. Who knows, recruiting is a crazy game.
Fans tend not to see outside their own bubble. They need to understand that there are no simple solutions in recruiting. If there were, someone could make a boatload of money selling this simple solution to coaches. When they do, they can always be closing. Remember, a pressured commit can become an unhappy player. And that does a program no good.
Mark Helfrich is following a blueprint that was laid out by his predecessor. For those who forget, that blueprint was pretty darn successful. Helfrich has tweaked that master plan to include earlier offers, but to start putting the pressure for commits too early would completely undermine the groundwork that has been laid for the past seven seasons. Recruits talk. If Oregon changes their methodology, it will backfire.
In the meantime, the Duck coaches may lose a few recruits to another school. But, have some class, folks. Sometimes kids just choose other schools. It is not the wrong choice simply because it was not Oregon. It's time to let these young men revel in their choices rather than slather them with innuendo and insults.

For a long time unavailable! A New Approach to Q&A.
Bob has often referred to the Question and Answer Act as a major effect in mentalism. ("Audience reading", perhaps, is a more accurate description of the act, since many presentations focus on the revelation of information apparently unknown to the performer – the Sunshine-Dunninger-Kreskin approach – rather than the actual answering of questions.) The effect is major since it involves, or potentially involves, everyone in the audience as opposed to minor effects, which involve only one or a few volunteers, and are sometimes referred to as "exhibition mentalism".
The general wisdom is that the most important aspect of the effect is the manner in which the questions are answered or the information is revealed. The method used to secretly obtain the information is considered secondary. The general wisdom, though, overlooks a fundamental flaw in the effect – the inevitable disappointment of the majority of the audience whose questions are not answered.
Scorpio's Message is the only routine of its kind that effectively overcomes this problem.
The routine requires no technical skills, special apparatus, secret assistance, stealing of questions, impression devices, or pre-show work of any kind. (That is what a typical ad would say anyway. But I won't mislead you – it DOES require effective presentation. The sample script and information given, however, will allow you to achieve this fairly rapidly.)
The routine also provides the relevance that is lacking from most mentalism performances. It is the element that is critical to repeat performances, and to the commercial value that is a prerequisite to the long-term success of a professional mentalist or psychic entertainer. Most importantly, it provides this relevance in a relatively non-controversial and highly entertaining manner.

Ashley started the Ashley Wade Foundation in 2012 in an effort to bring joy to the lives of children suffering from chronic illnesses. As Ashley says "It is my hope to take their mind off their disease, and bring happiness, even if it's just for a little while. Every child battling a chronic illness is special, and I want them to know that"
The Ashley Wade Foundation fulfills their mission by their Superstar Program which is for any child battling a chronic illness between the ages 1- 21. These Superstar children receive care package, holiday gifts, and Ashley visits them when they are in the hospital. Anytime Superstar children have to go for a hospital stay Ashley packs them a care package to help decorate their room with a pillow case, window clings. Etc. The Ashley Wade Foundation also holds family fun days for the Superstar families. This allows children to meet others just like them so they don't feel so alone. It also gives parents a chance to connect and have support from other families. Aside from the Superstar Program the Ashley Wade Foundation holds hospital pizza parties once a month!
At 21 Ashley is doing amazing things with the Ashley Wade Foundation and using her chronic illness as motivation to bring joy to so many sick children !
Join us as we support The Ashley Wade Foundation's efforts to BE THE CHANGE!!!

Price Paid: $50
I own a 17" widescreen MacBook and I have had some trouble finding a stylish case to keep it in. It holds not only my laptop, but everything else I need for it, without taking up any space for books and other necessities for school. The front pocket also acts as a cooler, so I have been able to bring snack foods (such as grapes, my favorite!) that don't become all mushy and warm after a day in my bag. I was hesitant to purchase a backpack after so many years of just carrying a purse or bag, but this is an exception. It fits everything perfectly.

I've been wanting to get back into Dungeons & Dragons for a while now. I even went so far as to buy the 4th Edition books when they came out. I got the Player's Handbooks I and II, the Dungeon Master's Guide and Monster Manual as well figuring I'd probably need to run a game since I didn't know anyone locally who played.
Fast forward to two-plus years later and I found that Wizards of the Coast was trying to introduce the game to new players by having their Encounters delves hosted not just nationwide, but worldwide, every Wednesday at different locations.
I'd initially found a game in Newark, which is a good 45-60 minute drive from my house, and went last week to play the first level/encounter. Well, it wasn't a great fit for me (mostly for the drive involved) so I looked for a game closer to me here in Livermore. As luck would have it, I was able to find a game hosted at the Barnes and Noble in Dublin, which is about a 10 minute drive. I called the store to make sure that they were still accepting new players and wound up talking with Wes who wound up hosting/DMing the game I played this evening. He let me know that I was more than welcome to join in the festivities and, WOW, what a difference!
The moment I walked into the store and met Wes I could tell it was going to be a great session and I was right. There were four of us in the party, myself a Human Wizard (Gwenne Stefan I), a Ranger (didn't catch the race) and his wolf companion played by Richard, a Cleric played by a young woman named Sam, and a Swordmage played by a young man named Elliott.
We picked up where we left off last week and took an "elevator" down from the main level to the dungeon where we ran into a Changeling, a Guard and his pet Scorpion and a smattering of Minions. We made pretty short order of the minions and gave the Changeling and Guard a pretty solid whooping to end the encounter.
Again, it was thanks to Wes, the DM, for helping the group get going and really involving the group in the adventure. I was able to get back into the swing of things after not playing for at least 15 years and was able to get up to speed without embarrassing myself too terribly. I can't wait until we pick up next week and hope that we can do some role playing as this session was entirely battle-filled. I hear tell that next week's session will be more skill and role playing-based. Can't wait!
