Used with the HC GFO media. Easy to set up and adjust. Excellent Value By Michael on 1/31/2012 Michael would recommend this product to a friend I've had my BRS GFO reactor in operation for just over two months without any problems at all. I really like that this unit is leak proof and easy to wall mount up and out of the way. Mine is setup with one of the foam filters at the top and no filter at the bottom. My flow rate through the unit hasn't changed at all. This is my kind of product, set it and forget it. Very easy to use! By JohnDeStef on 1/29/2012 JohnDeStef would recommend this product to a friend The clear cylinders make adjusting the GFO flow very easy. Well built structure and components, this will last for many many years. I flowed the water backwards though the filter to prevent tumbling of the carbon. The filters are very versatile! Well built & no leaking problems By Stephen on 1/25/2012 Stephen would recommend this product to a friend This is a well built reactor and easy to use and refill. My only complaint is that the stiff tubing is very hard to work with. Great Reactor By Mrkabokieman on 1/20/2012 Mrkabokieman would recommend this product to a friend Could not be more happy with the brs reactor, it works great. I run mine with GFO only. Tapped into my mag drive 7 return line rather than adding a pump and it works great. Great reactor for the money! By Brian on 1/13/2012 Brian would recommend this product to a friend This reactor is sturdy and well built, does not leak, and is easy to use/service. My only gripe is that it uses Mur-lok tubing and connectors, which is incompatible with the current pump I have without some sort of adapter. Good for GFO and or carbon By Brian on 12/20/2011 Brian would recommend this product to a friend This is a good reactor for GFO and or carbon, I do find easier to use one or the other, not both at the same time. My only complaint is the refillable cartridge is a bit difficult to see how well the GFO is tumbling, however BRS has started selling clear see through cartridge. Outstanding value By Joseph on 12/19/2011 Joseph would recommend this product to a friend An outstanding reactor for a reasonable price. Unlike a lot of other reactors and aquarium gear, this comes with everything you need to get it going in minutes (except the media, but of course you're going to buy that here too right?) Took me about 10 minutes to set up, 5 if you don't count the time it took me to find some screws to mount the top to the inside of my cabinet. Wonderful design with the inner and out chambers makes changing out the media simple and mess free. The use of quick connect fittings was a wise choice. Attention to detail is evident when you notice that both the input and output hoses are connected to elbows that swing 360 degrees. This makes placement a breeze. Let's face, everyone's sump is different and things can get crowded in there. The ability to adjust the exact position of the hoses is truly refreshing. I was able to fine tune exactly where I have my feed pump and where the output dumps. I'm running mine with BRS GFO at the bottom and BRS Carbon at the top. Water quality is outstanding. Easy to use, attention to detail in the engineering, and a great price. What else can you ask for? I continue to be impressed with BRS and they remain my go-to stop for aquarium supplies. Excellent value! By Mike on 12/10/2011 Mike would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this reactor with the suggested Cobalt MJ pump and I'm very happy overall. The quality is excellent and the accessories make it very easy to implement. The sponges don't do the best job containing the carbon that I'm using, however I haven't noticed any carbon completely escaping the reactor. Another Great BRS product By sandmshall on 12/5/2011 sandmshall would recommend this product to a friend Simple and easy to put into action. I ordered (2) separate units for Carbon and GFO. Great buy By Brian on 12/3/2011 Brian would recommend this product to a friend Carbon is very important in a saltwater aquarium and GFO can ease a lot of headaches with phosphates, but them both together in one reactor and you have a product well worth the less than $40 I spend on mine. Great buy, easy to use. Thanks BRS Great Reactor By Calvin on 11/30/2011 Calvin would recommend this product to a friend Reduced my phosphates to zero in no time.

Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
Haters are gonna hate.
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
You haven't answered the question. What is the big problem caused by cyclists running red lights? What is this similar tune?
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
You haven't answered the question. What is the big problem caused by cyclists running red lights? What is this similar tune?
I will continue to ignore red lights as a pedestrian and a cyclist when they are serving no safety purpose and there is no inconvenience caused by my actions to others. If running red lights is what causes motorists to be hostile to cyclists then they must damn well hate pedestrians!
You are concentrating on an largely irrelevant issue to cycling safety that isn't going to get 'solved' by your campaign rather than focussing on the "real issues" (your words not mine!) in cycling safety. Furthermore you are reinforcing the idea that cyclists running red lights is a pressing problem that needs to be solved. That isn't good PR for cyclists.
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
To think that the few motorists that hate cyclists are gonna have their minds changed because of the perception that all cyclists obey all red lights, is naive in the extreme. The middle aged well to do looking bloke in the expensive european sedan that nearly ran me off the edge of Galston gorge this morning, then gave me the finger as he went around the switchback was not angry at a cyclist running a red light. He is a small minded immature fool with no comprehension or understanding of anyone's presence outside his own sheltered privileged little world. It is a problem with our society but it is not cyclists fault.
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
Furthermore all those motorists who simply don't look for cyclists or don't know how to drive appropriately around cyclists aren't instantly going to learn if a few extra cyclists stop for red lights.
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
It isn't good PR for cyclists. Those are my words on the subject. And if you think running red lights isn't an issue, you haven't ever read the replies from the community at large every time an article even remotely smelling of cycling is published by anyone anywhere. It may not be an issue to you, but that is the problem. This in ONE 3 minute half arsed search while being bugged by my wife about random crap. It comes from motorists, pedestrians, our own ranks, the companies who's apparel we love, the list does indeed go on uncamouflaged. Our image is one of our biggest problems. I could find you more if you'd like. The issue has been around as long as the internet and the issue is only becoming more of a hot topic as time rolls on. And you aren't aware of it?

Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
And I still haven't answered your question. The problem with cyclists running red lights is that those cyclists ride with your attitiudes, which in turn influence driver/pedestrian/other cyclists-sick-of-being-stereotyped-thanks-to-your-behaviour's attitudes. Those attitudes influence driver behaviour in particular, and I - in addition to a large number of like minded cyclists - have simply had enough of the current situation. We've had enough of the general public calling for the registration of cyclists due to the behaviour of those who simply don't give a !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! how their riding affects the rest of us. We've had enough of being buzzed. We've had enough of being assaulted or threatened with assault. We've had enough of keeping our mouths shut in social situations for "fear" of enciting the inevitable boring neanderthal anti cyclist monologues from those who's mindsets immediately change once they know what we do for kicks.
The groundswell of support is out there for such a move. your ignorance of it doesn't negate it's existance.

Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
So if ignoring red lights are the cause of so much hate and trouble why aren't pedestrians facing the same problems?
Yet in your own words running red lights is not a "real issue".
I'm not a fan of that either. But I'm not naive enough to think that stopping at red lights will change any of that.

Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
because pedestrians are not seen as a minority group, everyone is a pedestrian, not everyone is a cyclist.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
Exactly! So the issue is that cyclists are a minority group, NOT that some cyclists run red lights.
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
This poster is making m ashamed to call myself a cyclist...!!!!
Running reds is not a problem.... but you are making it one !!!!
Its societies poor excuse of blaming cyclist, and to take away attention of the things that really matters..
And you foolishy fall for this trap...
Running reds is not playing a mayor role in cycling safety.
Dont be fooled.
You are doing good work.. dont waste it on this trivial stuff.....

Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
Strange I haven't jumped in yet, didyer miss me Dave?
Much as I admire the sentiment and am mostly happy to obey the laws of the land, no matter how poorly constructed and irrelevant they may be I still strongly believe that the misbehaviour of a minority of riders is more a hook upon which a small but noisy proportion of non riders may hang their bigotry. It makes a refreshing change from "Yew doan pay rairjoe, git orf moi roadddz."
We may well become immaculate paragons of virtue in our behaviour but we will still be hated and reviled by this small but vocal beyond their worth tribe of intolerants because we are not like them. We exercise our freedom as we exercise our bodies, our choice to exist in the wind instead of a cage makes us a part of the landscape through which we pass not merely an observer who remains inside even while they are outside. They do not understand why or how this can be and rather than join us in our sweaty endorphin enriched communion with the world around us they would have us descend to their level of self imposed incarceration in the mistaken belief that this would somehow assuage their unrecognised feelings of disempowerment. They cannot win so they would have all lose.
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
For what its worth I don't go around running red lights and pissing off motorists left right and centre. But nor can I say I hand on heart say that I obey every letter or the law. Who here for example doesn't have a bell on all their bikes?
I try to ride assertively yet cooperatively. I smile and wave and pay due respect to motorists who give me respect. Largely I do not have problems while riding on the roads. But to demonise red light when it is almost always done in a harmless and sensible fashion by cyclists is counter productive.
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
you're missing the point, its easy to hate on a whole minority group or marginalise them based on the actions of a minority of that minority group. not sure if you're naturally obtuse or choosing to be, but going by your postings it has to be one or the other.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
always had bells on my bikes, always obeyed red lights and tried to ride with respect to the law. at least I could put my hand on my heart and be honest with myself that my intentions were honorable.
everything's harmless and sensible until someone gets hurt. and someone does get hurt eventually despite every good intention.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
That's much better, 6 words as someone else said. Change the type though, you want something more like the original poster, tall, san serif and very quick to read.
I also like the message better as it doesn't single out cyclists. It puts forward a very coherent case very quickly.
I still don't understand this notion that we just break the road rules when we judge it is harmless. What happens when it isn't harmless? I know we will still be criticised, but we don't have to supply the morons with grist for their mill.

Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
While I may or may not agree with h909 and damh, I ended up in hospital trying to bite off a little more orange light than I could chew 4 weeks ago. It's not overly good practice, but regardless, SCA is doing something positive. I like the second bluey poster, the colours are hard to read but it says something useful. Must not place them illegally though... it's clearly a cycle positive poster and that makes the haterz do what they do best if they think there is antisocial behaviour in the advertising.
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
No oxford. What you're implying is not true.
I can safely negotiate hundreds of intersections without traffic lights but looking out for traffic. I can safely lane change, merge and ride amongst cars because I use my head and look out for traffic. Why do you suggest that an empty intersection with no approaching traffic is dangerous to enter simply because of the colour of a light?
None of us are invincible. But lets not twist the truth simply because it is law.
Quite true. But it isn't because some cyclists go through traffic lights. Many motorists dislike cyclists simply because they are on 'their' roads. Of course they won't write this in the posts, instead they'll call attention to illegal things.
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
This is what happens when OTHER cyclist run red lights.
Years ago now, but the circumstances were my wife & I were riding with an unfamiliar group of >>>>experienced riders<<<< who decided to safely negotiate an intersection (yes against the red light).
We were back about 50m & as I slowed to check the intersection to avoid being squashed by a fast approaching car to my left, my Wife unfortunately >>>>less experienced<<<<attempted to go with the group & rear ended me hitting the deck. The momentum of the group had her wanting to proceed & possibly my signalling to slow or calling car on the left was ignored (hello darling), but the result of not stopping at the red light speaks for it self. Broken clavicle, chunk of eye brow hacked off by the above glasses when the vent closed, deep grazes etc etc.
I have witnessed other very similar situations where one person proceeds & the rest follow in oblivion like lemmings.
I almost caused a lady to be run down as I j-walked across a busy intersection in the CBD. I turned to the sound of screeching tyres to see a car just miss the back of her heel as she followed me. Yes she was silly for following me, but I was also irresponsible for walking against the little red man in the first place.

Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
I stand by NND. When I see 43 cyclists run 2 cycles of lights at one of inner city Brisbanes most notorious intersections during peak traffic on a weekday morning, in my opinion and everyone elses, those 43 cyclists have no place on any road regardless of the mode of transport they use.
This behaviour is morally and legally wrong. It contributes as much as any other factor to how we have to ride now as opposed to 20 years ago. End of story.

Huge fan of booted RGers who just can't help themselves
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
There was a bunch of silly actions in that little story including cyclists tailgating other cyclists and behaving like lemmings rather than talking responsibility for yourself. It had very little to do with a red light. What the same thing occurred at a STOP sign?
You speak for everybody now womble?
I'm curious. What moral code is being broken here?
Is it morally wrong if there if nobody is around to see it?
Is it morally wrong for a cyclist not to have a bike equipped with a bell?
Is it morally wrong to ride a bike without a helmet?
Is it morally wrong for pedestrians to cross against a red man?
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
If your morals allow you to break the law (and it is the law for most of them in most states, so no arguments there), then I question your moral integrity as a person.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
You're absolutely correct. It had very little to do with the red light.
But thanks for your opinion all the same.
Gas propulsion.......it's natural don't fight it.
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
I question your morally basis if you EVER let the law dictate morals to you. Laws can be wrong, very wrong be it in Nazi Germany, Apartheid or modern Australia.
Personally I feel quite comfortable with my set of morals. In fact I (and others around me) would consider me to be and ethical and moral person. I am not Christian, but I do believe a good basis for life is 'Love thy neighbour' and 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'.
Re: National Ninja Day - Saturday Oct 6.
And you know what Human 909? I reckon you'd be the first to have a serious spit if things didn't go your way and you got carved-up in traffic and it was your own doing that caused it.
So assuming you drive a car is it also, by your logic, okay to drive without a seatbelt because it was (a) only a short distance and (b) you were not planning to drive fast? Okay to have a few drinks then drive home because you (a) know a back street and (b) it isn't very far or (c) you always drive better with a couple of beers under the belt.
Do you run red lights in your car like you do on your bike and if not, why not?
Does your car have an operating horn? If not, why not?
You see it doesn't matter about things being morally right or wrong it matters about them being socially or legally right or wrong because while the law can blanket a community no two people have the exact same moral compass.
As for The 2nd Womble, I might not agree with some of the things for which he campaigns I admire that he has the guts and the willingness to do those things.
he is trying to make a difference while you seem to be trying to make a mischief.

The Foxtel hack
I've been a vocal opponent (and customer) of Foxtel. A service that, as the web evolves is loosing its reason for being in my life. So I decided to disconnect my service and here is the interesting story of what happened.
I called the number and the options to choose from (1,2,3,4) for the appropriate issue. This surprisingly included 'Press 4 to disconnect'. This was the first clue things aren't right down at Foxtel. Any business that has this issue come up often enough to include it in the first 4 options of customer interaction has some issues.
So I click it and get put through to the 'Customer Retention Center' and they ask me why I want to disconnect. A few of the reasons I tell them include:
- I'm sick of seeing better offers advertised to new customers. (Screw the existing ones hey!)
- They have reduced the services and kept the price the same for my account.
- I can't get movies on demand (which I'm prepared to pay for) without signing up to a more expensive packaging (WTF, the tubes are already in my house?)
They apologise, tell me I've been a good customer for a few years, so they offer me a $30 discount per month. Which is 30% off what I've been paying. I retort with, 'if I'm such a good customer why do you only try and keep me once I've already decided to leave you?' Seems to me they have things back to front at Foxtel.
So I took the discount for now – I'm moving house in 2 months and it is all over for me and Foxtel then.
My advice to any Foxtel subscriber out there is to call up to disconnect and get the discount anyway and hack their already flawed proposition, before it gets hacked entirely by market forces.

Because I've lived in a series of homes with terrible connection/reception issues, I've been without terrestrial tv or cable for years. What I do have is an AppleTV, a US credit card, and access to a service that allows me to access NetFlix streaming via a proxy.
I would never even consider cable/satellite TV any more. Look into it, Steve. It'll change your couch-life.

they sign u up for a NEW CONTRACT. dosnt work if u are in a contract
I have been watching the America's Cup for the last week. Today wednesday i awork to watch the race 17 and 18 only to find indian cricket. Tomorrow is the final race scores 8 all. Foxtell decided not to show final, what a shit. I had to watch the wednesday race on youtube. why did i buy the sports package, to watch the sports which i payed for on youtube??????
I had foxtel call me up a few times after I decided to disconnect. The last offer was my $94 IQ sports+ package for $47. The fact that I was offered it at half price was good reason to quit as you said in your original blog… They offer nothing to the loyal customers (until they threaten to leave) only to the newbies. I will miss NRL and live UFC on tele but the way they operate is disgusting.

"5. Theory of Operation

I like the mind-link interface. Definitely keep that in the final version.

Jun 22, 2006

Oops, this section I overlooked.

Jun 22, 2006

I think that would be more interesting create one helper for each label, than add a new component to the framework

Jun 28, 2006

1. I don't see anything to generate selects or groups of radio and checkboxes. One of the only reasons that I use HTML generation is to set the selected/checked state of select/radio/checkboxes from data from a datasource or redisplaying submitted data. I like the same interface to generate radio/checkboxes as selects because they are all conceptually similar and it makes it easy to switch between them.

2. I would remove the form controller stuff from this code. I think adding client side Javascript filtering/validation would be a great thing to have. But that is be as far as this code should go.

3. How could you integrate this with Javascript/CSS effects to create slick presentations? It might be nice to have plugins to utilize some of the nice Javascript libraries around.

4. Mostly this kind of code is used by Form Controllers and things like that. So it should be designed to provide a friendly interface for things like that.

Jun 29, 2006

1. should work this way

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
$f = new Zend_Html_Form('test', 'get');
$f->addElement($f->form_header(null, 'select and a checkbox group'));
$options = array('0' => 'value1', '8' => 'value2', '15' => 'value3');
$f->addElement($f->select('select', 'a select', $options));
$f->form_group('cbgroup', 'some checkboxes')
>addElement($f>input_checkbox('c1', null, 'check1', 'value1'))
>addElement($f>input_checkbox('c2', null, 'check2', 'value2')));
$f->addElement($f->input_submit(null, 'send'));
echo $f;

I like the idea to treat select, radio and checkboxes the same way. I think I will add both a radiogroup and a checkboxgroup element that works like the select.

2. No, I wouldn't. I like PEAR's HTML_Quickform. The Fx(Zend)_Html_Form part is inspired by this package. Client side validation/filtering ... currently I don't need this functionalty, so I did not implement it, but I'm not against it.

3. How would you combine Javascript/CSS with a HTML element (<input type=...>)? Using some of the element's attributes (onclick, id, ...). You can add attributes to all descendants of Fx(Zend)_Html accessing object properties ( $html->id = 'foo'; ) or using add() ( $html->add(array('id' => 'foo')); ). For anything else I need a use case. (Currently I'm still ignoring the Web2.0 hype, so I don't know what the needs are for a HTML object to be slick. (I hope this wasn't completly wrong english. <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" /> ))

4. Maybe I don't understand your meaning, but my intention was to build the Form part as a form controller and to use it as easy as possible. If it has no friendly interface please tell me how should a friendly interface look like.

Jun 29, 2006

4. Oh, I mean "form controller" in the sense of PEAR's HTML_Quickform (controls one form) not in the sense of HTML_Quickform_Controller (controls a bunch of forms). If you mean the last one ... this could be part of version 2.0 of Fx(Zend)_Html_Form.

Jun 30, 2006

I think the idea of creating/manipulating an HTML object is very useful, but I wouldn't begin to tie it together with other classes too tightly - Forms, for example, may not always need to be rendered in HTML (Willie pointed me in the direction of XForms, and HTML_QuickForm2 is already considering other decorators).

So, a vote for Zend_HTML_xxx but not to perform form creation, validation, etc - leave that job for more suitable classes.

Sep 11, 2006

Funnily enough I have been working on something very similar, but as a replacement for the framework helper classes.

The problem with the helper classes is that they immediately produce HTML, rather than allowing nested tags to be formed. The system I have been using is integrated with (my subclass of) Zend_View to allow tags to be added to each other and to be styled, and then rendered when the view is output.

The syntax is like this:

<ac:macro ac:name="noformat"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
// make a context
$html = new Sprocket();
// make a div
$a_div = $html->div();
$a_div->class = 'a_nice_css_class_';
// add some tags to the div
$a_div->h1("A heading");
$a_div->p("Some text");
$a_link = $html->a("Click here");
$a_link->href = 'http://example.com';
$a_link->class = 'a_css_link_class';
// output the HTML:
echo $html->render();

There is some more information on this system here. The system is called Sprockets right now; it uses a single Tag class for HTML tags and factory methods to produce more complex blocks of code.

Would anyone be interested in this as a framework component? (I'm developing the system to use in a form building system, so most of the work involved is going to be done anyway).

Nov 14, 2006
<ac:macro ac:name="note"><ac:parameter ac:name="title">Moved to Laboratory</ac:parameter><ac:rich-text-body>

We've reviewed this proposal and we feel it shows promise. But we have no plans to include it in Zend Framework 1.0. We're moving it to the ZF Laboratory so you can work on it some more, and share your code.

There is a valid use case for this, like Perl's CGI.pm methods.

But it's hard to see how Zend_Html works in the MVC paradigm that Zend Framework seeks to promote. I'm concerned that it would be easy for a developer to misuse this component and create spaghetti code, blurring the separation between code and presentation.

Can you work on clarifying the cases in which you would use this Zend_Html component in the context of MVC? Would you use Zend_Html as a substitute View engine, or would you call Zend_Html methods from within a standard ".phtml" style View engine?
</ac:rich-text-body></ac:macro>
Aug 13, 2007

Hi,

I registered here to add my own contribution to this topic:

I released today a free library, close to both components already mentioned above.

I did not know them before, and after announcing my own contribution on the Zend Framework community, i was told of it.

Here is the web page about HoP : http://ac-mb.info/a_x/hop.html

What is the state of this component right now ?

From the Hop doc page :

HoinP means HTML objects in PHP. The easy spelling is HoP.

It's free software under LGPL

The purpose of this library is to offer a structured way to generate XHTML markup from PHP, without the traditional interleaving of PHP chunks, HTML chunks and echo statements all over.

It is an intermediate concept between templating systems (I don't like the paradigm) and PHP DOM extensions (over complicated for the purpose). It will fit well in MVC designed applications and is close to the definition of helpers in the Zend Framework. In fact, the first draft of this library is older than the ZF 1.0 release, while it shares some conceptual similarities with these helpers.

Mar 18, 2009

This is a very old proposal... I created a much simpler component to assemble HTML and XML. It doesn't have specialized subclasses (although there could be).

I wonder if such a component can be useful for the library. Usage would be like:

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:default-parameter>php</ac:default-parameter><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
$list = new Zend_Html_Element('ul');
foreach($result as $row) {
$item = new Zend_Html_Element('li');
echo $list;

I've got this code lying around (it is pretty trivial...) if there is interest.

May 19, 2009

It's great to see your approach. I have considered about similar components. May I support your proposal?

How do you figure to sort out differences between your component and DOM or SimpleXML?

While wandering through the streets of Paris on a hot summer day today, I found myself a wonderful shaded resting place off of Rue de Furstenberg in the 6eme. It has been humid, hot, raining but still gorgeous here in Paris. My sister DS ran back to our favorite cafe Les Deux Magots to pick up a lost item...I got a chance to take in a well styled little enclave that I wanted to share with you!
Happy Sunday!
P.S. I have photos of the shops on the road but I couldn't figure out how to edit them over the video!
9 comments:
After months of reading your blog I now know what your voice sounds like and and it's lovely! Thanks for the short video also-the square is a pleasant respite from the hectic Paris summer!ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing this. My husband and I will be in Paris in Sept. and will be sure to check out this delightful area!ReplyDelete
I have been on that street many times! I think Restoration Hardware got the inspiration for their new "look" from the store Flamant which is right in that circle!ReplyDelete
Always inspiring, thankyou for a this little bit of lovely.ReplyDelete
Perfection...thank you.ReplyDelete
Love your video and blog. My husband and I lived around the corner on rue Jacob and would stroll through 'Place' de Furstenberg often. It is so charming -- lovely shops, as you mentioned, and setting for movies.... a scene from Dangerous Liasons with Michelle Pfieffer was filmed there (hope I'm not dating myself). Bon vacance!ReplyDelete
You have such a pleasant voice! And you just made me miss Paris even more than I already did!ReplyDelete
Thank you for transporting me to Paris this Monday morning..really loved the experience, can we have more and more and more.......thanksReplyDelete
Just like being on Paris! Loved it :)ReplyDelete

It was time for me to buy another pair of Nantucket Reds. While the Men's pants seem fairly straight forward to buy, I have found the Women's fit to be a bit trickier.
On the originals, the waist comes up higher than is comfortable for some. So one can give their Poplin Low Rise pants a try.
Although the rise is, as the name suggests, lower, it is by no means too low. In fact the fit in the waist turned out to be very comfortable, and the front pockets nice and deep.
|If only they were US made instead of in China...

Scott Renninger
Head Coach
Scott Renninger is a veteran of the Westminster College Department of Athletics as he enters his 35th year as either a coach or an administrator.
The 2012-13 academic year marks Renninger's 14th year as head coach of the men's tennis team and his eighth as head coach of the women's squad. He owns a 71-124 (.364) record as men's coach and 85-40 (.680) mark as women's coach.
Renninger, the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Women's Tennis Coach of the Year for three straight years from 2006-08, led the Titan women to runner-up finishes at the PAC Championships in each of the last six seasons, including the 2011-12 team that set the school record for wins in a season with a perfect 18-0 record.
As the Titan men's coach, Renninger led the team to an improvement in wins in each of his first three seasons including the 2002 team that went 10-6, a win total that was duplicated by the 2004 team that went 10-9. Two of Renninger's men's teams (2004, 2006) placed second in the PAC.
Renninger has served on the Titan coaching staff since arriving in New Wilmington in 1978. He served as an assistant coach for the Titan football team from that time until 2004, working with both the offensive line and special teams while also serving as administrative assistant for the program.
In 1999, he served as interim co-head football coach with Sean Kelly when then-head coach Gene Nicholson took a medical leave of absence. Renninger also served as head baseball coach at Westminster for 21 seasons from 1979-99, compiling a career record of 253-284-3 (.471).
A 1966 graduate of Heidelberg, Renninger and his wife, Phyllis, live in New Wilmington. They have three children: Angie (a 1997 Westminster graduate), Scooter, and T.J. (a 2008 Westminster graduate).

Migration Update – November 17, 2014
The October trickle of ducks was followed by the biggest migration in recent years as winter storm Astro blanketed the northern tier with snow and ice. While the storm system produced extraordinary results, the timing was, in fact, quite ordinary. Going back to the great Armistice Day storm of 1940, the first arctic clipper of the season and biggest migration push generally occurs around the second week of November. Of course, the severity of the storm often varies. The number of ducks and geese that are pushed by this November clipper system is decided by one single factor – snow. Thankfully, winter storm Astro brought a lot of it, and along with it, a significant number of waterfowl. Hello folks, and, as always, welcome to Waterfowler.com. What do you get when you combined a record number of waterfowl and a classic, powerful winter storm? Most of our readers would say, … Continue reading

Berlin, Germany
This jacket is again for my lovely friend Martina! She uses for most of here ways her bike to go around and even it is spring now finally in berlin, it can still be very cold in the mornings and at night.
Here is the solution for this problem: a lightweighted but windproofed and warm and cothy jacket. Made out of a coublefaced hightec material. It looks like felt outside in dark blue and very soft and cuddley in dark beige inside.
The pattern is done by me and i have used quite a long time to finish the jacket, as (due to the thickness of material) i had to handstich a lot of seams……..
hope you all like it!

Hi Ralf,
Completed dress, and at a guess at least two sizes too big! (ha ha!) My total inexperience of pattern reading and measuring I think had a lot to do with it. I have learnt loads though, and no.2 attempt is soon to be started.

text: 5 A Refreshing Change of PacePontiFex | 21/11/2008 | See all PontiFex's reviews (3)It's great to see development studios being so innovative, especially one as well known as DICE. Mirror's Edge is a great game and will hopefully show others that being innovative isn't necesarily as big a risk as it could be, especially in the current knock off after knock off state that the gaming industry is getting into.The graphics are incredible and actually seeing vibrant colours being used in a game once again is a refreshing change from the usual grey tone. The 1st person perspective makes sense from a gameplay point of view though there is alot of bobbing, shaking and swaying going on which wound up giving me a headache after only a few hours (one of the first games where this has actually happened).As for the story I didn't find it to be all that interesting and it unfortunately ended up being a little too short too. There are a lot of points during it too where it just becomes so frustrating constantly dying over and over again... it makes you feel as if the dev's purposely did this to lengthen the game. There are also certain points along the story where it forces you into combat, though this mixes up the game it can get a little annoying as Faith (the character you play) can't take a lot of damage. The ending to the game actually made me think "is that it?".After my disappointment at the story I found the Speed Run and Time Trial modes which is the point at which you realise these were what the game was made for. I can see myself spending hours upon hours just perfecting routes on levels and downloading other peoples runs off of Live to find new ways I would've missed. Not to mention trying to beat those same people ;) The game is all about proper timing and keeping a steady momentum going - achieving a quick time on a perfect run can be very very rewarding. The fact that you can string together different moves along with the timing and momentum factor really makes the game a lot more deep then it originally seems which will only benefit the game more in the long run.Mirror's Edge is definitaly one of those games you'll want to keep in your collection if not for it's innovation then it's addictive Time Trial mode which will keep sucking you back in just to shave that tenth of a second off your highest time.

Going to the gym is a process of continuous self-improvement. LA Fitness helps its customers achieve their goals for personal improvement by providing excellent facilities and highly motivated trainers. Internally, LA Fitness also has goals to
provide excellent service. One way it has achieved this goal is by continually improving its communications capabilities so staff members in the clubs have access to the right information and systems to handle customer interactions professionally and efficiently.
LA Fitness uses Microsoft Lync Server 2010 to provide voice, conferencing, instant messaging, and presence. It recently tested Microsoft Lync Server 2013 to understand how it can continue to improve employee communications and collaboration. With the deployment,
LA Fitness plans to improve mobility support, add conferencing capabilities, and use advanced high-availability options.
LA Fitness operates state-of-the-art fitness clubs across the United States and Canada and is always seeking innovative ways to improve the physical and emotional wellbeing of its members. LA Fitness prides itself on its highly trained staff, who handles customer
requests professionally and efficiently.
To help its staff provide excellent customer service, LA Fitness has invested heavily in its communications systems. Efficient communications are essential to help LA Fitness employees increase sales, promote customer loyalty, and maintain high levels of
customer satisfaction.
LA Fitness improves productivity by integrating Lync presence and communications options into its line-of-business applications to foster communication. "Lync is tied into everything I do—customer service, front-desk management, updating billing information,
and renewing memberships. With the presence information I get from Lync, I can reach out to a colleague and resolve customer issues much faster," says Lea Roelle, Member Service Manager at LA Fitness.
Outside of its clubs, LA Fitness has additional communications needs to support. Many employees spend a great deal of time traveling to various clubs they manage or support. These employees need mobile options to help them stay in touch, and LA Fitness needed
better support for mobile devices, especially through Lync Server. It also wanted to promote the use of video conferencing between employees. In addition, LA Fitness sought to ensure redundancy of Lync because so much of its staff relies on Lync to get work
done quickly and efficiently.
After testing Microsoft Lync Server 2013, LA Fitness sees many reasons to deploy it. "I am very excited about Lync Server 2013. With the new high-availability options, persistent chat, improved conferencing options, and enhanced mobile capabilities, it has
a lot to offer us," says Michael Spruel, Telecommunication Manager at LA Fitness.
Management and High Availability
Lync Server 2013 expands on the high-availability options that were available in the 2010 version. While Lync Server 2010 had pools that provided extra server capacity, Lync Server 2013 introduces the concept of linked pools
Lync Server 2013 also expands the role of the front-end server to store contacts. In the event of a Microsoft SQL Server database failure, LA Fitness employees will no longer lose access to their contacts. "I'm glad we can configure Lync Server so that we
are no longer dependent on the database for critical functionality," says Spruel. LA Fitness is also happy that the monitoring server role has been incorporated in the front-end server role as well, which simplifies the environment.
LA Fitness relies heavily Lync Server response groups. Lync Server 2013 expands the server of role-based access control to response groups with different levels of permissions for editing response group settings. Enabling the groups to self-manage the response
group settings will make it easier for the groups to set up the functions to meet their needs and decrease the burden on administrators.
LA Fitness is interested in the capability to deliver videos in Microsoft PowerPoint presentations during a Lync meeting. "Delivering video is something our employees have been asking for and it works great," says Spruel. "Our corporate staff will use it to
deliver more robust presentations to the staff in the clubs. They can show inspirational videos rather than just PowerPoint slides. It's a better experience for everybody."
LA Fitness wants to further improve communications between staff members by encouraging the use of video during calls and conferences. To facilitate the use of video, LA Fitness is purchasing monitors with built-in video cameras. The Microsoft Lync 2013
client provides improved video support by enabling LA Fitness employees to preview what their camera is showing before they turn on video and by delivering up to five video streams during a conference.
Client Options
With Lync 2013, employees have many ways to access their communications capabilities including persistent chat. "Now that persistent chat is integrated into the Lync client, we will deploy it," says Spruel. "I like the capability to send out an announcement
to all of our clubs. With persistent chat, our clubs get the notice and then can go back and reference it along with any follow-up instructions."
LA Fitness also sees value in the fact that Lync 2013 provides Skype federation with voice and chat interactions with Skype users. It believes that Skype federation will facilitate communication with vendors who do not have access to Lync.
Another option for the company's vendors to join conferences by using the Lync Web App. "I love the new Lync Web App because it offers desktop sharing and voice and video," says Spruel. "Everyone gets the full Lync experience."
LA Fitness is encouraged that Lync 2013 mobile clients are available for major phone platforms. Through their mobile phones, employees can access much of the same functionality as in the Lync 2013 desktop client, including VoIP calling and contact management.
"Now our VPs out on the road or managers who have just stepped out of their office have presence from their mobile devices, so people know they can get in touch with them," says Spruel.
With the deployment of Lync Server 2013, LA Fitness will continue to improve the communications services it provides to employees. By improving communications and fostering collaboration, LA Fitness can maintain its high levels of customer service. "Lync Server
2013 provides a lot of new capabilities that we didn't have with Lync Server 2010," says Spruel "I'm really happy with the decision to deploy our Microsoft communications solution and I'm looking forward to deploying Lync Server 2013 and pushing it out to
the organization."
I love the new Lync Web App because it offers desktop sharing and voice and video. Everyone gets the full Lync experience.
Michael Spruel
Telecommunication Manager,
LA Fitness
Improves Availability
LA Fitness depends on Lync Server for all of its internal communications. It has also embedded Lync Server functionality into its most common processes for serving customers. Employees expect access to the presence information and instant communications that
Lync 2013 provides. Because Lync Server is so important to LA Fitness, it will benefit from having a fully redundant architecture to prevent unplanned downtime and make it easier to perform maintenance without causing an outage.
Raises Productivity
LA Fitness has seen significant improvements in employee productivity due to its Lync Server deployment. Individuals no longer waste time trying to locate the right people to talk to or looking up phone numbers. With the integration of presence
information into Microsoft SharePoint Server and Microsoft Exchange Server, employees can see at a glance if the person they need to talk to is available. If not, they can easily find someone else. "SharePoint Server is a significant element of how we operate,
and we have leveraged the communications capabilities provided by the interoperation of Lync Server with SharePoint Server, which makes us all more productive in the long run," explains George Bedar, CIO at LA Fitness.
By using the Lync 2013 mobile client, LA Fitness can extend these productivity benefits outside of the office. "Just having presence on mobile devices makes it easier for people to get in touch," says Spruel. "For our VPs on the road or for a manager interacting
with employees at the club, that extra availability is really important."
Builds Teams
The incorporation of more video into daily communications at LA Fitness will help to improve the bonds that form between employees. "Seeing video enhances the communications experience," explains Spruel. "It allows interpersonal experience that
is lost in just a phone conversation."
Microsoft Lync Server 2013
Microsoft Lync Server 2013 ushers in a new connected user experience that transforms every communication into an interaction that is more collaborative and engaging—and that is accessible from anywhere. For IT, the benefits are equally powerful, with a highly
secure and reliable communications system that works with existing tools and systems for easier management, lower cost of ownership, smoother deployment and migration, and greater choice and flexibility.
