Our B&B "La Souvigne" is a typical stone built Correze cottage in South West France. Winters used to be quite hard to endure here in the Limousin, as the region around Limoges is known, and so just as in the nearby Massif Central, walls are thick, and windows are small. The traditional roofs here are of lauzes which are stone slabs, beautifully shaped to fit into position, although La Souvigne in fact has local slates. These roofs are found in other parts of the valley of the Dordogne too, but around Argentat are of a particular charm and delight.
We have been running bed and breakfast for over ten years now, and our B&B clients tell us how welcome we make them. With home made jams and marmalade, freshly squeezed orange juice and (usually) farm yoghurt and butter, breakfasts are quite a gastronomic treat. The Correze is a great place to go walking, with wonderful wild flowers including many varieties of orchid in the spring growing beside the road. The Limousin is an area of outstanding natural beauty, and of great diversity and nature lovers are truly spoilt for choice as to what to see. The river Dordogne has truly shaped this area, and is very much at the heart of the region.
If you plan to visit from abroad, you will need to hire a car, as public transport is not very well adapted for tourism. However cars can easily be hired at Limoges airport, Brive, Bergerac or even Toulouse, and roads in the Correze - and indeed throughout the Limousin - are beautifully maintained and very empty. In fact, with the A20 being completed, we're only about four and a half hours from Paris by car or train. You can rediscover the pleasure of pottering about by car. Round every corner, there's another view, a fine old Chateau here, a view of the mountains of the Massif Central there, and wherever you go, you'll see architectural treasures from as far back as the 11th century or earlier, before coming back to the welcome of our b&b again in time for dinner.
Gastronomy here is still very much alive and well, and quite apart from the 5 course dinner with which we welcome our guests when we can, there are quite a number of excellent restaurants within less than 20 minutes drive from here and one of the Limousin's best restaurants is only seven minutes away in Argentat. We have an excellent cellar with many interesting wines from France and elsewhere, and very much enjoy matching fine food and fine wines.
La Souvigne Bed and Breakfast is one of the most popular B&Bs in the Correze, and visitors seeking to come here, especially in July and August would be well advised to book early to avoid disappointment. We only have three rooms, and they're quickly filled!

BCFA enters All Luzon football tilt
-A A +AWednesday, October 24, 2012
DESPITE giving up a 3-1 loss against Cavite, Baguio City Football Association (BCFA) sneaked in to the All Luzon leg of the Philippine Football federation Smart National Club Open Championship.
The home team BCFA netted a 6-1 victory over Laguna United that saw midfielder Joseph Lingwayon scoring another hat trick, his second in the tournament and the only player to score seven goals and the top goal scorer in the Luzon Cluster A.
Baguio United redeemed its only loss of the tournament with a 6-1 victory over LB United with Ahmed Abubaker brok the ice from a back flip from BUFC target man Mohanna Farah who also scored two goals in the game. Farah played for Pachange FC in UFL Division 2 last season.
"With this qualification and strong showing of the BCFA as represented by Baguio United FC, the City of Baguio, football enthusiasts and private entities are encouraged to help the team prepare for the All-Luzon leg," said Homer Alinsug of the Baguio United FC squad who represented BCFA.
With the win, BUFC has a record of 4 wins, 1 loss and 0 draw for a total of 12 points, enough to push it through the All-Luzon leg in Laguna in November 16-18, composed of top two teams from Luzon Clusters A and B. The Cluster B leg will be held in Bicol next week.
BUFC will resume training this coming Thursday and will welcome back 3 starters to beef up their line-up.
They will include Mark Lusung (from RP youth team), Friday Okoro (Goshenland Cup MVP) and Ali Kore (Center Back).
"BUFC extends its deepest gratitude to BCFA President Leo Arnaiz for his support for the team, Matthew Frettsome, Savory Chicken and Goshenland. True friends of football in Baguio, let's support BCFA Baguio United FC," added Alinsug.
Baguio would have played its last match against San Beda-Rizal FA but the latter abandoned the match with the home team awarded a 3-0 victory.
Flames United of Cavite FA came on top of the Luzon Cluster A leg with an unblemished record of five wins and one draw and now has the distinction of being the first (and perhaps the only) probationary FA to qualify to the next round.

I got a need for a USB WiFi adapter, specifically with an RP-SMA connector for an external antenna, to connect his tiny cute antenna about 3 feet long. Top insights for 2013 on http://sma-cables.com strategies. As I use this finder very rarely, mostly while travelling, I was reluctant to invest much in a device that will be just lying in a drawer most of the time.

Summary: The AIA is pleased to offer you—hot-off-the-press—The Business of Architecture, the 2005–2006 AIA Firm Survey, by the AIA Market Research Department, in PDF form. Through its regular surveys of architecture firms, the AIA documents trends in the changing practice of architecture and offers metrics by which firms can measure their practices and rate their performance in comparison to their peers. This document reports results from a survey conducted in 2006 and looks at the benchmarks and best practices from architecture firms.
The Firm Survey overview highlights the following trends and their implications for architecture practice:
Healthy nonresidential recovery: The survey reports that after the severe nonresidential building recession from 2000–2003, architecture firms have been enjoying a healthy recovery in design and construction activity. According to U.S. Department of Labor figures, payroll employment at architecture firms increased more than 2 percent in 2004, almost 4 percent in 2005, and is on a pace to increase close to 5 percent in 2006. As is typical for most design and construction business cycles, the upturn in design employment has surpassed the upturn in the broader economy. But recovery also presents new concerns for architecture-firm principals, many of whom have reported difficulties in recruiting qualified technical staff.
Rebirth of large firms: Recovery in design and construction activity has brought with it reemerging dominance of larger architecture firms in the profession. Architecture firms with 50 or more employees accounted for less than 4 percent of all architecture firm offices but almost 42 percent of all staff at architecture firms in 2005 and almost 52 percent of all billings.
More engagement in residential work: With the strong home building and remodeling markets in recent years coinciding with weak nonresidential design activity, the share of residential design activity increased to almost 18 percent of total billings in 2005, up from about 12 percent in 2002 and slightly more than 9 percent in 1999. It is likely that residential activity at firms will decline in the coming years as the residential market continues to soften, but, for the short run, architecture firms have gotten more engaged in residential design. Almost two-thirds (63 percent) of firms reported some residential projects, and close to 30 percent reported that at least one-half of their billings came from the residential sector.
Sustainability and BIM increase in popularity: In terms of special trends, the new firm survey notes growth of the sustainable (green) design movement—and its related certification programs—in both residential and nonresidential projects. Another notable trend is the rise of building information modeling (BIM) or virtual design: As of 2005, about 1 in 6 architecture firms had acquired BIM software and about 1 in 10 firms was using the software on billable projects.

I have an Eotech on my AR15, and I really like it.
but I'm a sucker for those ACOGs. they're just too awesome. I love them in the Army. clear, and precise.
but they have always been out of budget for me...
Well I have a contact that is willing to trade my Eotech for a TA01NSN. They are (re)painted black, but optics are in perfect condition.
I think a straight up trade is a pretty good deal... (He is selling them for 600-650 but I've bought many things from him before so he is giving me a really good deal)
what do you guys think?
I know they are 2 diff types of scopes, made for diff intentions, but I'm talking about value wise.... it's just too good to pass up. used they go for 500-700 according to my quick google research.
let me add that they are not the copycat ones. it's got the serial number laser etched in on top. It's the real deal. it's a solid contact and wouldn't have any fake ones.
My rifle's intention is really 100-200 yards max (meant to be a close dist AR) but it's an ACOG for my Eotech 512!! I could put a red dot on top of the ACOG too since the NSN has that back up iron sight thing that people replace with red-dots
plus, maybe few months down the road when I have some cash again, I might just get another Eotech and swap it out and keep the ACOG for another AR build :)

This action was supported by many environmental organizations, fisheries scientists and concerned citizens who all called for a science-based analysis of the impacts of continued development in critical habitat for coho salmon.
SPAWN does not, however, accept responsibility for the public process engineered by Supervisor Steve Kinsey, with little input from SPAWN or his "advisory" committees.
From the very beginning, SPAWN asked for larger committee structures with more community involvement, requested the county consider hiring a firm to help with public outreach after the first public meeting only attracted a handful of residents, and suggested additional meetings with greater public input.
For its part, SPAWN advertised the county meetings through the Valley community and SPAWN e-mail alerts, at our events and published the draft Salmon Enhancement Plan on our Web site as soon as it was released.
We asked Supervisor Kinsey to bring in a professional mediator for the large community meeting, in order to provide a forum for rational discussion, but our suggestion was rejected.
Instead of using the opportunity to clear up some of the misconceptions about the Salmon Enhancement Plan that is fanning fear in the community, Supervisor Kinsey let the meeting spin out of control, with questions going unanswered, and misinformation repeated often without correction.
The result: Now we have our community elders fearful that the recommendations would prevent them from putting in wheelchair ramps - an unfortunate misunderstanding with absolutely no factual support.
Community involvement is critical to understanding the threats and crafting local solutions.
The Salmon Enhancement Plan was written by independent scientists, from two well-respected environmental firms that were hired by the county to review available information, collect additional needed data, and provide their science-based recommendations, on how to recover coho in the San Geronimo Valley. It is these recommendations that now need to be vetted and discussed by the community and all stakeholders concerned with the survival of coho.
SPAWN wishes that it did not take the threat of a lawsuit to get the county to the table. For seven years, SPAWN requested that the county conduct a cumulative impact analysis by testifying at public hearings, publishing opinion editorials, providing scientific and legal analysis to county decision-makers, and even publishing a full-page ad in this newspaper outlining our position.
After we exhausted the administrative process and continued to be ignored, we informed the county we were going to use the last tool available, have our grievances redressed in a court of law. To do so is a fundamental right guaranteed to everyone under the First Amendment and the statutes enacted to protect our environment. Although we actually did not file a lawsuit against the county in this instance, we do not apologize for exercising this right when necessary.
Lawsuits are a tool of last resort and should only be used when completely necessary. That is why in its entire history, SPAWN has only filed one lawsuit.
The community needs to come together to save the coho. At the end of the day, we may not all agree on the best way forward, but forward is the only direction that gives the coho a chance of surviving us.
As always, SPAWN continues to be ready to sit down and talk with concerned members of our community, the county and all other stakeholders.
Todd Steiner, Paola Bouley and Chris Pincetich are staff of the Forest Knolls-based Salmon Protection and Watershed Network, a nonprofit advocacy group working to protect endangered salmon in the Lagunitas Watershed

WARDHA: Eight students of Shri Shankarprasad Agnihotri College of Engineering, under the guidance of Prof Vikram Pakhale, have invented a hybrid solar tricycle, keeping in mind the requirement of physically challenged persons. The eco-friendly tricycle runs on solar energy, but in the unavailability of sunlight it can be operated by electricity, with the help of same battery.
Gajanan Ayyar, one of the students, who developed this project, said, "The tricycle has configuration of 2 solar panel of 75 watt, solar charger, 2 battery of 12 volts, brush less DC motor, speed controller. The market price of this new equipment will be between Rs 20,000-25,000.
Another student Animesh Kundu, said, "When we visited Anandwan at Warora, we decided to make a vehicle which can run on solar energy. However, lots of people have worked on this theme but none of the models appeared with tricycle system, we have succeeded in turning the idea into reality."
"While planning we realized that this was not a simple task since we had to prepare a system. After discussing with our professors, who taught us technical aspects of solar energy, we referred to a model of French scientist Venturi who made hybrid solar vehicle. Now we feel that we can use our knowledge for betterment of the physically-challenged persons," said Rahul Baghale, another student.

Andrew Will Champoux Vineyard Red Wine
Although this wine has much more Cabernet Sauvignon than the 2007, the wines seem to be more like sisters than cousins. The 2008 stands not in the shadows of 2007, but right next to it. It is a wine that although different in structure, nevertheless possesses all that it needs to satisfy now and in the future. 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 23%, Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot.
