If you've been reading my previous posts or following me on Instagram you already know that I am currently in Paris. I arrived here a few days early to enjoy this beautiful place before Paris Fashion Week begins. I'm so excited to be here to visit all of the beautiful sites and enjoy as many cafe's as I possibly can while I am here. But as much as I like to travel I also love my usual routine. On a regular Monday at home usually consists of a visit to a flower shop to pick up my favorite flowers. During this particular visit, I picked up these Ranunculus roses at Clementine Floral Works. I adore these flowers because they closely resemble Peonies. And since Peonies are hard to find during this season I love getting these roses in a soft pink or white for the office.
I love that this flower shop is right next to a lovely coffee shop I frequent called Intelligentsia. Which makes make Monday routine that much more easy. I'll pick up a few florals and head over to Intelligentsia to pick up some coffee. Although I love my usual Americano or Dark Roast from Starbucks (all black no sugar or cream) whenever I'm at a good coffee shop, I will get an almond milk latte. My body doesn't digest soy or regular milk properly so I'm only able to drink lattes when almond milk is available.
Speaking of coffee, one of my favorite things to do is to discover small coffee shops or boutique cafes. So you can't even image how excited I am to start drinking as many lattes and macaroons while discovering new cafes here in Paris. I've only been here shortly, but I'm already so inspired by the beauty of this city,

Kenya will probably offer investors a premium to ensure it sells one of Africa's biggest Eurobonds as the September terrorist attack at Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall drives up borrowing costs.
The bonds, which at the maximum amount will match the biggest foreign-currency issue in Africa, may yield as much as 8 percent, said Morten Groth at Jyske Bank A/S (JYSK) and Kevin Daly at Aberdeen Asset Management Plc. That compares with yields of 6.60 percent when Nigeria sold $500 million of 10-year notes in July and rates of 6.92 percent on $400 million of similar-maturity securities offered by Rwanda at the end April.
Kenya needs to spend about $4 billion a year for the next decade to overcome a lack of infrastructure from roads to rail which is holding back economic growth, according to the World Bank. Borrowing costs are rising after an attack on Nairobi's Westgate Mall on Sept. 21 by the Somali-based al-Shabaab militia, which killed 67 civilians and security personnel.
"In the long-term the attacks are negative," said Groth, who manages $1.5 billion of emerging-market debt, including Rwandan and Zambian bonds, from Silkeborg, Denmark. "A large issue size and the fact that it's a debut issuer probably would require a premium."
The government of East Africa's biggest economy has said it may sell $1.5 billion to $2 billion of Eurobonds by January. That would be the largest single issuance since South Africa, the continent's largest economy, issued $2 billion of 12-year notes in September, matching sales in 2009 and 2010.
Hire Talks
Kenya is in talks with JPMorgan Chase & Co. to arrange the sale, Treasury Secretary Henry Rotich said in an interview on Oct. 23. The government is also negotiating with Arnold & Porter LLP, based in Washington, to lead counsel.
The world's largest exporter of black tea will stick to its plan to sell the Eurobond because the attack won't have "any major impact" on Kenya's economy, Rotich said. Growth is set to accelerate to 5.6 percent this year, the fastest pace in six years, from 4.6 percent last year, he said on Sept. 24.
Kenya, which first considered a Eurobond issuance in 1997, will use proceeds from the sale to repay a $600 million syndicated loan issued by Citigroup Inc., Standard Bank Group Ltd. and Standard Chartered Plc taken last year. It will also finance the upgrading of rail links between the coastal city of Mombasa, site of East Africa's biggest port, and neighboring Uganda and Rwanda, along with power-generation projects.
The government may opt to offer $1 billion in its initial foray into international debt markets and then tap investors with another issuance at a later date, said Guy Tossou, an emerging markets fixed-income money manager at FFTW-BNP Paribas Investment Partners in London.
'Tragic Events'
"Despite the recent tragic events, I don't think they will have to pay a huge premium as the yield will largely depend on the global market situation when they decide to sell the bond," Tossou said in an Oct. 25 interview.
"If they were to offload $1.5 billion or more in this market, they would have to pay up about 7.5 percent to 8 percent for a 10-year maturity," said Daly, who helps oversee $10 billion in emerging-market assets at Aberdeen, including Tanzanian and Mozambican debt. "It's possible they could come in lower than that depending on risk appetite."
Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings have a B+ rating on Kenyan debt. That's four levels below investment grade and on par with Zambia and Cape Verde. It has the equivalent B1 rating from Moody's Investors Service.
'Credit Negative'
The attack on the Westgate Mall, the worst since 1998 when al-Qaeda bombed the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi and killed more than 200 people, will dent tourism and is "credit negative" for the nation, Moody's said on Sept. 26. Tourism accounts for about 12.5 percent of Kenya's $37 billion economy, the largest source of foreign exchange after tea exports.
The violence will probably reduce tourism revenue by $160 million this year, restricting economic growth to 5 percent, compared with an earlier estimate of 5.6 percent, Charles Robertson, global chief economist at Renaissance Capital in London, said in September.
Yields on 10-year Nigerian debt have dropped 88 basis points, or 0.88 percentage point, since they were sold in July to 5.72 percent as of 1:10 p.m. in London yesterday. Rates on Ghana's securities due August 2023 have climbed five basis points to 8.05 percent since issuance.
Record Sales
Dollar-bond sales from African governments and companies rose to a record $9.68 billion this year from $6.04 billion in 2012, Megan McDonald, Standard Bank's head of debt primary markets, said at a conference in Cape Town Oct. 31. Zambia, Angola and Mozambique are among sovereigns planning Eurobond offers, she said.
"There's still a lot of liquidity in global markets," McDonald said. "That money is attracted to Africa not just from a yield and diversification perspective, but also because of the economic growth story playing out on the continent."
Yields on African dollar-denominated debt have climbed 131 basis points this year, compared with an average 96 basis-point increase in emerging-market bonds tracked by JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) as the Federal Reserve considers reducing stimulus that has boosted inflows into developing nations.
The impact of the attack will be offset by the fact that Kenya's economy is the most diversified in East Africa and that in the longer term, it will benefit from the discovery of oil in the north of the country, Aberdeen's Daly said.
"It's a good story and we are generally pretty constructive on Kenya," he said. "But it's down to the fact that it's a big issue size."

Which Do You Prefer to Write With: Pens or Pencils?
Ever since we were allowed to make the switch in late grade school from pencil to pen for our homework, I've stuck almost exclusively with pens. But lately there are some things that are just better in pencil (like my ever-morphing to-do list.)
So, because I'm an office supply addict, I started a search for pretty pencils to have on my desk (and a few new pretty pens for good measure). Keep reading to see what I found.
I'm a Bit Obsessed with Calendars Lately
Maybe it's just a symptom of it being January, but I've been shopping for calendars in the past few days. And I've already collected quite a few, in as I'm sitting at my desk I can count three 2011 calendars, and one from 2010 that I can't give up until I replace it.
So, I thought I'd do a quick round up of some of my favorite finds for 2011. Starting with the one hanging in my kitchen, which I've ordered the refill for.

The program is a long term nutritional program used successfully for years in the treatment and prevention of chronic degenerative disease. The nutritional program consists of fresh organic vegetable juices, 3 meals per day made of raw and cooked food and supplemental vitamins, minerals and enzymes. The therapy is based on detoxification and nourishment of the body and restoration of the immune system.
RETREAT's 2 to 12 week introduction is designed to maximize your chances of successfully continue the therapy at home. If you need minor assistance in your daily activities please let us know and we will do what we can to support your individual needs.
Typical Day:
Along with providing sufficient fluid intake on our program, the fresh juices will give your body nearly all of the nutrients (vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytonutrients, phytochemicals, herbals, proteins, and other vital food substances) required for your body to heal itself. Juice drinking can be even more important than eating whole foods when healing your body with degenerative diseases. Juices are foods in a more assimilable form for use by your digestive system. Drinking the juice allows for better digestion and absorption. By drinking 8 to 13 glasses of juice daily, this large amount of liquids plus 3 vegetarian meals offers the equivalent of 15-20 pounds of food a day. Drinking the juices allows you to ingest massive amounts of nourishment in a short time.
You will learn how to prepare the juices. You will learn how to make the special soup and you will get practice on recipes that you like. We will teach you how to administer your B12 injections. You will become familiar enough with the program so that it will be easy for you to manage it on your own.
You will have many conversations and discussions on the dangers of processed food, salt, meat and dairy and the benefits of organic vegetables or on life style changes. You may chose to be supported the first week and observe from a distance. The second week, you may want to take a more active part into your therapy and help with the food preparation.
Medical supervision
Prior to your admission we will recommend specific lab tests, and a health questionnaire. This information will be used to make sure you will benefit from the program and to individualize your treatment. The Doctor will supervise your program, do regular visits, and assist you in any challenges that may arise in the course of the therapy. After the 2 or 12 week-program, follow up phone and email visits can be scheduled regularly.
If you are not able to take care of yourself and need more care and attention, it is recommended to bring a companion or caregiver during your stay. See Price sheet for Companion Rates, and they will also participate in a modified program, and be able to learn the program so that it will be easier to administer at home.
Group activities in the center or outside the center are available when time permits. Small group discussions, nature walks may be available during your stay.
The success of the therapy depends on your desire to heal and on your personal commitment to change your lifestyle habits and nutritional patterns. In order to achieve these changes the mind must cooperate. We will help you with individual counseling or group work to examine your belief system about food, health and life in general. We can examine how you handle stress and losses. We will do our best to guide you and support you in the necessary changes through individual intervention or through a supportive environment. We make a conscious effort to create an environment conducive to more awareness and an enhanced will to live.
We will support your spiritual beliefs and put them at work in your healing process.
The program also recommends supplements and medication. Each person is recommended to get a 1-2 month supply or longer that they use while they are here at the clinic and take home with them to continue the therapy at home. These vary individually, are not included in the price, and will cost between $1200 and $3400 for a 1-3 month supply.
Advanced IV Therapies
The program may also recommends certain advanced nutritional IV therapies that can support and enhance the overall experience and effectiveness. Many therapies have a number of clinical data to back up the therapeutic value. For more information, please contact us about what additional therapies might be right for you. Pricing ranges between $150 to $250 per treatment. Most treatments are between 3-5 times weekly.
To apply for this program you must send your medical records with your diagnosis, most recent lab test, and write a description on your disease process and email to us.
THE 2 to 12 WEEKS THERAPY RETREAT FOR CANCER PATIENTS
I feel so much better after having spent time with you all. The energy there was so conducive to healing and health. The very special energy that was present in the lovely food prepared especially by the cooks was top notch. Also your cleaning staff is first rate.

Two men have been convicted of animal cruelty and sentenced to time behind bars in connection with a February 2010 dog fighting raid that uncovered 26 tethered, starving and severely neglected Pit Bulls on a property in Sandersville, Georgia.
Following a three-day trial, Derrick Montez Daniels of DeKalb and Billy Taylor, Jr., of Sandersville were each convicted of 26 counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. Daniels, the dogs' owner, was sentenced to five years in state prison and five years of probation, while Taylor, who lived on the property and was the dogs' "caretaker," was sentenced to one year in county jail and nine years of probation.
Members of the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Team during the raid in Sandersville, GA in February 2010.
"The defendants were held accountable for the pain and suffering they caused these innocent animals," says Tim Rickey, ASPCA Senior Director of Field Investigations and Response and leader of the February investigation. Rickey, who also attended the three-day trial in Sandersville, adds, "These dogs were not only starved of food and affection, but used to breed and fight each other to the death. I'm glad justice is being served."
When the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response (FIR) Team arrived at the Sandersville property at the behest of the Washington County Sheriff's Office, they found dogs shivering in the freezing cold and tied to tire axles and posts with heavy chains. All were emaciated and showed signs of severe neglect, including broken bones, wounds and infections. The responders also found numerous dead dogs on the property.
Says Rickey, "It's encouraging to start off the year with two successful animal cruelty convictions and send a clear message that animal abuse will not be tolerated in our country."

Looking for dinnerware that doesn't get grey cutlery marks
posted by: raehelen on 10.10.2013 at 01:38 pm in Kitchens Forum I am cross-posting this cuz the original post was on Home Decor which I rarely frequent. I am posting the link below.
I am reviving this thread, as I am looking to replace/upgrade my everyday stoneware dishes. Was thinking I wanted to get plain white, but while shopping did find I was drawn to the colourful stoneware dishes... To make it even harder, just got an email today that Ikea is putting their Fargrik 6 place setting stoneware set on sale for $19.99! Maybe I just buy 2 sets of that for now, and wait to fall in love with some coloured/patterned set and buy when it's on sale. Still won't address the grey cutlery marks... So, I'm not opposed to 'upgrading to china or porcelain', just have always had stoneware as my everyday dishes. Probably would like to stay around $15-20 (or less) per place setting. Can wait to buy till it's on sale, don't like the look of Corelle, don't want something that looks bargain basement, ie plates all wonky---poor quality control, blobs of glaze, etc. I'm in Canada, so recommendations that are available here really appreciated. Here is a link that might be useful: I'd like to find white dishes that will stay white! NOTES: <none>

We have a gym! A gym, a gym, a gym. With machines. And weights. And wi-fi!
Oh, and I JOINED IT! Today. Four hours ago. I've already done my first workout, 2 sets of 10 reps on a dozen MACHINES and 20 minutes on a fancy-schmancy treadmill. Wanna know how fancy it is? I'm not making this up: JILLIAN talks to you on it! And you can travel the world with Google Maps if you want to.
I thought I'd better concentrate on not falling off, so I'll save the world travels for another day.
It's only twenty-five bucks a month, and the Grand Opening offer is if you sign up and pay for six months you get a month free, so of course I signed up and paid for six months. That'll take me to July 23, about the time the garden is exploding. I'll reassess whether I want six more months then or if I want to wait until September to re-up.
Not many people are this excited when they join a gym, but I'll tell you what: I've missed living near one for 15 years. It's still 12 miles away, but that's a helluva lot closer than none at all.
I'm planning to go three days a week, but I might go more often if I love it. So far … I love it.

After Maryam Jamal's stunning success in the 2012 London Olympics, the bronze medallist has hung up her running shoes for a month of well-deserved rest and relaxation.
The 1,500-metre middle distance star jump-started her vacation plans by taking some time off in the kingdom that she loves.
While her husband and coach Tariq Sabt made his way to Dubai for business meetings, Maryam caught up with friends and fans in Bahrain while kicking back and unwinding at the Elite Grand Hotel in Seef.
In between her trips to the mall and dinner engagements, Maryam found time to share her memories of the London Olympics and spoke of the challenges of competing at the highest levels of international sport with GulfWeekly in an up-close and personal interview.
The athlete was sitting in the lobby waiting patiently and looked stunning. Dressed in dark denim, wearing cheetah print earrings, a trendy white sports coat and tank top, the 28-year-old athlete looked more like a model than a runner. Her smile lit up the room and wherever she walked all eyes seemed to follow her.
In her hotel room she poured tea, sat down cross-legged displaying a natural air of confidence and charm. She appeared comfortable being in the spotlight and said: "There was a time when people here did not recognise me but they definitely do now. This race has turned my world around.
"Right now I'm taking a month-long break and then I will restart my training for a road race in two months' time in Switzerland."
Since crossing the finishing line in London, Maryam has been bombarded with wishes of goodwill and she also received a hero's welcome upon her return to the kingdom.
His Majesty King Hamad congratulated her on her Olympic achievement and thanked her for promoting Bahrain on the international sporting stage.
She said: "I dedicated my win to His Majesty because of his continuous support. I love this kingdom. I received my Bahraini citizenship in 2005 and am extremely grateful for all that has been done for me as well as for the support I have received from the Bahrain Olympic Committee and the Bahrain Athletics' Association. They have always backed me."
Maryam and Tariq, who were forced to leave Ethiopia due to political problems, sought asylum in Lausanne, Switzerland, where she now trains, and successfully applied for Bahraini citizenship.
She hopes her running successes will help inspire young Bahrainis to achieve their dreams and also take up a sport. "My message to all youngsters is simple - now is not the time to sleep. Train hard, become physically fit and mentally strong and you will achieve your dreams," Maryam said.
"I believe that if you really want something then you can get it. I have always wanted to run because I have always loved sport and that is why I have become a champion.
"If I hadn't worked hard at it then I would not have gotten anywhere. You need to be strong no matter what - whether it is in sport or any other aspect of your life."
Maryam, born in Arsi Zne in the Oromia region of Ethiopia, first took to the sport at the age of 15 in school despite her mother's constant warnings to slow down. As a teen, she had suffered a minor heart deficiency which fortunately resolved itself as she grew stronger.
She explained: "I didn't listen to my family, kept running and now look at me. My heart is stronger and my fitness levels are great. Running has helped me with everything in my life."
Maryam has made sporting headlines with numerous race successes over the years but will forever be remembered as the first athlete wearing Bahrain's colours to bag an Olympic medal.
It's hard to believe that only two months before the big day that changed her life, Maryam was seriously contemplating having to pull out of the Olympics due to a serious ankle injury she suffered at a Diamond League competitive meeting in May.
The Samsung Diamond League is an annual series of track and field meetings designed to enhance the worldwide appeal of athletics and attracts the world's top competitors.
She explained: "The back of my ankle was slashed with a spike. At first I thought I would not be able to run in the London Olympics which was such a shame as I had been training twice-a-week in the gym and three-times-a-week on the track just for that event.
"I received a lot of calls from Bahrain asking if I was OK and to not feel pressured about making it. I appreciated their concern and support and I knew I could not let them down. I started intensive physiotherapy and God was on my side.
"Step-by-step I began to train. I recovered and set my sights on a medal. I was extremely happy with my result especially after coming back from such an injury in such a short amount of time. I refused to listen to the pain in my ankle. It really was a case of mind over matter."
Maryam felt she had a lot to prove after her first unsuccessful Olympic outing in Beijing in 2008 when she finished fifth in the final.
She said: "My first Olympic experience was depressing. I just didn't feel ready for it mentally although physically I was more than capable. I could not let the London Olympics pass me by.
"At Diamond League competitions, if you lose it's not a problem, as you can always win the next race, but with the Olympics it's more a case of 'now or never'. If you lose once you don't know if you will qualify for the next one four years later.
"But perhaps I've changed inside. I honestly believe that if I had been in better physical shape in London I could have gotten that gold and that is what I'm aiming for at the next Olympics. There is no looking back now."
Maryam described how she motivates herself before every race. She either stands in front of a mirror or closes her eyes and repeats the mantra: "I am strong and I can win."
That positive attitude appears to be working. After the Summer Games she raced in the Diamond League meeting in Stockholm on August 17 and took first place with a new seasonal best of 4:01.19.
For Maryam her future is still undetermined and while she enjoys running in the 1500m category she is thinking further down the line of trying her hand at 5000m or even a marathon.
Apparently runners don't retire, they just run longer distances.
There is always a price with fame, sometimes coming in the form of back-sniping and rumour mongering. There were recent suggestions that her marriage was in trouble. She hit back saying her relationship with her 33-year-old husband had always been strong and that he had been by her side throughout her training sessions and competitions.
She said: "He was there on the sidelines in London and when I crossed the line I could see tears of joy welling up in his eyes. He has been, and remains, my biggest fan and supporter."
They are as solid as a rock … and she hopes as lasting as the support she receives from her fans in Bahrain.

I like the single cedar columns the best. Just make sure if you do cedar columns, give them width like the one above. And if you do the other columns, make sure they're not too big. I've seen wood columns that are so thin it looks like they'll fall down. I've also seen the painted columns that are too big they become an eyesore. lol |
Thanks oakleyok! I totally get trying to achieve the proper balance - it's hard to picture stuff like this when you're spatially challenged as I am. :) |
I like the painted posts.. I believe they fit the style of the house and are classic. But I think it may depend on where you are and what style you are looking for. Cedar posts would be very out of place here. |
I think either the painted or the single chunky cedar with corbels or base/capital of some kind) would work. I don't like the doubled cedar. What is planned for the front door and shutters? If you're going with a stained door and shutters, the cedar makes the most sense. If a painted door and shutters, then painted makes the most sense. |
Thanks funkyart & jakabedy! The front door is mahogany and will be stained a very dark espresso. For shutters we planned on either painted black or stained cedar board & batten style to match the posts, whichever direction we go! |
The wide trim piece across the top of the porch is very bold. I don't think it could stand alone. I think you need to balance the light colors to the bottom half of the house. I like the single cedar posts, pretty with your brick like the example, but think they will disappear. The first cedar post example doesn't really fit with that house. It's rustic and there is nothing else about the house that is styled that way. |

I like the nice chunky painted columns. |
I like the last pic best, the cedar posts. But I really love it with the corbels. What a beautiful home! |
A big vote for big, hefty, painted posts -- painted in the same color as the trim so that they blend into the visual whole facade of the house ... Pretty house! :) |
I could envision single painted columns like in the first photo, with a piece of trim added to the center of the wide facia board that is already in place above your porch, to tie the two together, as shown in that photo. |
- Posted by gsciencechick (My Page) on Wed, Dec 26, 12 at 15:44
I also like the painted to go with the large overhead board that will be above them. OTOH, you could not go wrong with the wide cedar either. Love the home! |
I like the painted posts--I'd be concerned about having too many materials--the trim, the posts, the door, the shutters, the brick, the roof. I'd want to match something already there rather than introduce a new material and color. I love your roof line! |
- Posted by lizbeth-gardener (My Page) on Wed, Dec 26, 12 at 18:20
Another vote for the large painted columns to match the trim. Very nice home! |
I like the painted columns for your house. The first cedar posts look like an add-on to me that don't really fit that home - like they just redid it and haven't yet painted the porch. The cedar columns look great as pictured with that house, but think the thing that makes them work is the color similarity to the brick. So if you love that look, maybe you could stain a color close to your brick. |
Thanks to everyone for the input and especially the sweet compliments on our new house! We've waited a very long time to see this dream come true for us and are sooooo ready to be finished! bethohio3, I love looking at my roofline but my goodness, did it ever add to our construction costs! My Dad was an appraiser and he always advised me to go with simple roof lines to keep costs down - I'm quite sure he's rolling over in his grave wagging a finger at me with this one. :) We are leaning heavily toward the large, single, stained cedar posts, at least 10" x 10" and using board & batten shutters to balance the look. The center gable will also have an accent truss that we can do in cedar as well. Yes, lots of materials going on, I know. Our yard has lots of trees and you can't even see it from the road in the summer. We're also sitting on a small amount of land and not in a subdivision if that helps any... |
It seems to me stained columns will recede into the brick, white would stand out. I would want them to stand out. |
Personally I like a mix of materials it adds character. My vote is for the stained cedar posts and shutters to match. Our front porch post are cedar and our shutters will be the same if my hubby ever finds the time to make them : ) |
Count me as a ditto for teacats: "A big vote for big, hefty, painted posts -- painted in the same color as the trim so that they blend into the visual whole facade of the house ... |
Another vote for the hefty painted posts. Though, you might be able to do the large round column type also. I have a weakness for the round columns. |
- Posted by pricklypearcactus (My Page) on Thu, Dec 27, 12 at 11:21
Would there be other cedar detailing elsewhere? Front door? Shutters? In the wood double-post porch picture, things look a little unbalanced to me, but perhaps that's caused by the double columns. I'd vote for either painted or single cedar with other cedar details. |

Way to Catch Cheating Spouse – Change Caller ID with Caller ID Spoofing
There is a service called phone spoof card that lets you call anyone making their caller ID say any phone number and name you want.
When I say you can make their name and caller ID say anything I literally mean ANYTHING. (I called my cell phone from my home phone spoofing a police dept number and the caller ID said that police dept name and that police dept phone number).
The power of this for catching a cheating spouse or partner is absolutely mind boggling! It is up to you and your imagination how you can put this to good use to catch your spouse's infidelity. One idea is call them when you… are sure they are with their secret lover. Normally if you call your spouse would see your phone number and either not answer or tell his secret lover to be quiet because you are calling, etc.
By faking his caller ID to be the cheaters best friend or someone you know he would answer freely for you might hear sounds, voices in the background to give your more clues OR if you get a hold of a suspicious phone number you think may be the person your spouse is cheating with call them spoofing your husband or wife's phone number and see if you hear 'hi honey' from the person who answers! This SpoofCard service also lets you change your voice even to a different sex and record all the calls you want as well.
If you have a great idea how to use the phone spoof card let us know about it!

Some cities are pieces of living history, where the past is not only present in everyday life, but tangible in myriad forms, from ancient fountains to Roman temples. Centuries of human habitation are visible in their architecture, and modern-day urban necessities like subway tunnels and cables have to be carefully built, lest the precious past be destroyed. Taken from lists in publications such as the WebEcoist and National Geographic, these historical cities are known for their ancient ruins and storied pasts.
The glory days of the empire are never very far away in Italy's capital, where a glimpse of the Colosseum or a 2nd-century city wall is practically an everyday occurrence. Not to mention the centuries that followed, embedding framework beneath (the catacombs) and building structures above (Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling in Vatican City). From the 2,000-year-old Pantheon to priceless pieces of Renaissance art, residents of the Eternal City are surrounded by history, making the central districts of Rome some of the most coveted real estate in Italy, especially for foreign buyers. "The English, French and German have always been the most important buyers, but now we are seeing Americans, Russians and even Emiratis in the market," said Mauro Bianchi, a private advisor at Santandrea Luxury Houses.
The city centre is the most desirable area, but the upscale Pinciano and Parioli districts north of the centre are also very popular for their proximity to Villa Borghese park. Just south of the centre, historic Aventino is in demand due to the presence of the UN and other international organisations. Across the Tiber River, trendy Trastevere is popular because of its cafes, restaurants and nightlife, while near the Colosseum, formerly working-class Monti is a gentrifying area that has become very sought after because of its village feel and proximity to the historic city centre.
The average price for an apartment near the city centre ranges from 10,000 to 20,000 euros per square metre, depending on the type of building, view and location. "A penthouse with a terrace overlooking the Spanish Steps or the Colosseum can cost as much as 30,000 euros per square metre," Bianchi said. The average rent for a similar centre city apartment ranges from 350 to 600 euros per square metre per year.

Ancient Egypt is at Cairo's doorstep – even if the city itself did not exist 4,000 years ago – with the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx about 10km to the west and Memphis, the capital of Ancient Egypt, about 20km to the south. Great treasures from the time of the Pharaohs fill the city's museums; Coptic churches and early Christian artefacts abound; and the most ever-present thread to the past, the Nile, flows by on its way to the Mediterranean. Today, modern metropolitan Cairo is home to nearly 20 million inhabitants, and the largest city in the Arab world is undergoing political and economic turmoil after the 2011 uprising. But while the security situation has deteriorated since the 2012 election of President Morsi, foreign firms, particularly retail companies, continue to enter the Egyptian market.
Cairo's history can be traced through its neighbourhoods, from Islamic Cairo, built more than 1,000 years ago, to the European-designed areas such as Garden City and Heliopolis. Just south of Tahrir Square, Garden City is a leafy, residential area on the east bank of the Nile that is home to the British and American embassies, luxury hotels and grand villas. Other desirable city neighbourhoods include upscale Zamalek, which is located on the Nile's Gezira Island, and convenient Dokki on the west bank, a walkable district close to the Metro. Further south of downtown, affluent Maadi is one of the most sought-after suburbs for its quiet streets and less-crowded feel. New Cairo City is a planned community about 30km east of downtown, home to many international universities, luxury high rises and gated communities, as well as shopping malls and golf courses.
There are some restrictions on foreigners buying property in Egypt, and many internationals moving to Cairo rent furnished or mostly furnished apartments. Most landlords require a month's deposit, one quarter's rent in advance and a copy of your passport. A two-bedroom flat in Zamalek starts around $1,600 a month and a similar apartment in Maadi ranges from $2,000 to $5,000 a month. A furnished two-bedroom apartment in New Cairo starts at around $2,800 a month. Prices for high-end apartments and villas in Egypt are usually listed in US dollars.

BATON ROUGE, La. — Two local residents recently were initiated into Phi Kappa Phi, the nation's oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines.
Aaron Chastain of Cleveland was initiated at Berry College, and Brittany Crabtree, also of Cleveland, was initiated at Samford University,
These residents are among approximately 32,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation and requires nomination and approval by a chapter.
Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors with at least 72 semester hours are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff, and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.
Founded in 1897 at the University of Maine and headquartered in Baton Rouge, La., Phi Kappa Phi is the nation's oldest and most selective all-discipline honor society. The society has chapters on more than 300 college and university campuses in North America and the Philippines. Its mission is "to recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education, and to engage the community of scholars in service to others."
Since its founding, more than 1.25 million members have been initiated. Some of the organization's more notable members include former President Jimmy Carter, NASA astronaut Wendy Lawrence, novelist David Baldacci and YouTube cofounder Chad Hurley.
The society has awarded approximately $15 million since the inception of its awards program in 1932. Today, $1 million is awarded each biennium to qualifying students and members through graduate fellowships, undergraduate study abroad grants, member and chapter awards and grants for local and national literacy initiatives.

POSTED: Friday, April 12, 2013 - 4:29pm
UPDATED: Friday, April 12, 2013 - 4:33pm
Fort Bliss, TX (KTSM) — The Hearts Apart Support Program assists families that are separated from their military sponsor for more than 30 days because of deployments, permanent change of station moves, temporary duty assignments or remote tours of duty.
The program is available to family members at any U.S. military installation worldwide regardless of the military member's service branch or place of duty. For example, if a Soldier deploys from here and their family members return home to Louisiana during the deployment, the family members can participate in the program at Barksdale Air Force Base.
Families are eligible to join Hearts Apart 30 days before their Soldier leaves home, and they can remain in the program 30 days after their Soldier returns. This gives Soldiers and their families the opportunity to attend events together before their deployment, meet other families facing similar hardships, realize what support is available during the deployment, and reintegrate with their families after the deployment, said Cher Poehlein, Army Community Services Relocation Readiness Program manager here.
"[Hearts Apart] gives you other people to get advice from and to share experiences with," said Crystal Garcia, a military spouse coping with her husband's first deployment. "Deployments are extremely hard, and it gives you somebody to lean on during this difficult time."
She and her children have attended Hearts Apart trips to the El Paso Zoo and Western Playland, an amusement park. She said the trips and events give her children the opportunity to interact with other children who are also separated from a parent because of a deployment, and they give her the chance to make new friends and learn about Army life from other spouses.
One of the events Garcia regularly attends is the weekly coffee meetings, where she and a group of spouses have formed bonds that go beyond Hearts Apart. The coffee meetings are a venue for spouses to unwind and discuss any issues they may be having during their Soldier's absence, like child care, finding a job, or dealing with the stresses of a deployment, said Poehlein.
"If a Soldier deploys and has a wife and three or four children, he may not be focused on the mission because in his head he's wondering if his wife has friends and support back at home," Poehlein said. "[Hearts Apart] gives Soldiers and their family members peace of mind because they know there are resources available during a deployment."
For more information about Hearts Apart visit www.blissmwr.com/relocation [1] or call 569-4227.

Any English Protestant who does not conform to the doctrines or practices of the established Church of England. The term was first used after the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 to describe congregations that had separated from the national church. Such congregations, also called Separatists or Dissenters, often rejected Anglican rites and doctrines as being too close to Catholicism. In the late 19th century, Nonconformists of various denominations joined together to form the Free Church Federal Council. In England and Wales the term is generally applied to all Protestant denominations outside Anglicanism, including Baptists, Congregationalists, Unitarians, Presbyterians, Methodists, Quakers, and Churches of Christ.

Things to do in The Amalfi Coast
One of the world's most popular seaside destinations, the Amalfi Coast offers endless cultural events, especially during the spring and summer. Case in point: From June through September, the Ravello Festival transforms its eponymous town into a stage for film, orchestral concerts, and ballet performances. In September, the Gustaminori festival is dedicated to Italian gastronomy; be sure to sample the homemade pasta. Food lovers should also consider getting their hands dirty by enrolling in cooking classes taught by experts such as Mamma Agata. Other things to do on the Amalfi Coast include chartering a sailboat, exploring centuries-old villas surrounded by delightful gardens (two standouts: Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone), and shopping at boutiques stocked with fine crafts, such as Stinga, in Sorrento). More active types may prefer visiting the Grotta dello Smeraldo; in the grotto, a green light emanates from the water and stalagmites rise up from the sea. However you spend your time, be sure to order a drink made with limoncello, a classic Amalfi Coast liqueur made from lemons. Cheers.

Science Can't Prove Anything
Posted by jlwile on August 11, 2011
In one of my science textbooks, I make the statement that science cannot prove anything.1 I am always surprised at how controversial such a matter-of-fact statement is to some people. Almost every year, at least one student or parent will contact me simply aghast that I would write something like that in a science textbook. After all, science has proven all sorts of things, hasn't it?Of course it hasn't. In fact, it is impossible for science to prove anything, because science is based on experiments and observations, both of which can be flawed. Often, those flaws don't become apparent to the scientific community for quite some time. Flawed experiments and observations, of course, lead to flawed conclusions, so even the most secure scientific statements have never been proven. There might be gobs and gobs of evidence for them, but they have not been proven.
Karl Popper probably wrote the most important book related to this concept, which was titled The Logic of Scientific Discovery. Interestingly enough, he originally wrote it in German and then rewrote it in English. As a result, it is one of the few books that is published in two different languages but was never translated. The author wrote both versions. In this book, he argues that science should follow a methodology based on falsification. He shows quite clearly that while science cannot prove anything, it can falsify ideas that are currently thought to be true. He therefore argues that the test of any real scientific theory is whether or not it can be falsified. If not, then it is not truly a scientific theory.
There are a lot of scientists who disagree with Popper that falsification is the key to whether or not a theory is scientific. However, few would argue with his point that science cannot prove anything. Indeed, the journal Science seemed to forget this fact for a moment, but an astute reader chastised the editor, who admitted he was wrong.
The reader's name is Charles L. Bennett, and he wrote a letter to the editor saying:2
The title of the 6 May News of the Week story "At long last, Gravity Probe B satellite proves Einstein right" (p. 649) made me cringe. I find myself frequently repeating to students and the public that science doesn't "prove" theories. Scientific measurements can only disprove theories or be consistent with them. Any theory that is consistent with measurements could be disproved by a future measurement. I wouldn't have expected Science magazine, of all places, to say a theory was "proved."
Dr. Bennett is correct, of course. The editor, Colin Norman, admitted that in his response, which appeared right under the letter:
Bennett is completely correct. It's an important conceptual point, and we blew it.
Unfortunately, as long as science magazines and teachers are sloppy enough to keep using phrases like, "science has proven," it will be hard to teach children the truth.

Thank you for saying this. I have so surprised people when I have mentioned that many science laws are ones that haven't yet been disproven!!
I agree completely – this is a fundamental principle that I managed to grasp early. What is sad is how many people don't understand it – including many scientists.
Thanks you for this astute article and refreshing point of view.
Okay, this is hilarious. I didn't know Prof. Norman was an editor of Science, but I did know Prof. Bennett knew philosophy of science. But they're both astrophysicists, so I won't be taking any of their classes anytime soon.
Anyway, I'm not sure how much of hypothetico-deductivism I buy, but I don't think induction works. And I don't know how far I'd believe in falsificationism. The Logic of Scientific Discovery is on my bookshelf at the moment, but I don't think I'll have time to read it for a while.
Yes, they are.
Dr. Wile,
Interesting article! It reminds me of the book "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" by Norman Geisler and Frank Turek. In it they assert that "we can be sure [about something] beyond a reasonable doubt, but not sure beyond all doubt." because we base our knowledge on inductive reasoning. The question that I immediately think of is: at what point in gathering evidence for our inductive reasoning, can we be sure enough of a hypothesis in order to work with it?
For instance, Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are at odds with each other in some ways, which means that either one or both are in some way false or incomplete. Yet, as you mentioned before, we are sure enough about them in order to use them in applications where a lot of property or even life is at stake. At what point did we become "sure enough?"
Another thing, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that in the history of science there has been a slow trend from direct experimentation to more mathematics used in order to test theories. Is this true? If so, is this good? It seems to me that no matter how mathematically sophisticated something is, it doesn't necessarily mean it accurately reflects reality.
I would love hearing your thoughts on these matters.
Thank you for the article and your time! -
Numbers are the Supreme Court of science. However Godel proved that we may not prove everything. There are Physics Foibles!!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"My fiance and I wanted the Seashell Sketches Save the Date and Wedding Invitations. Wedding Paper Divas was able to match our colors (coral and turquoise) perfectly!"
"We didn't have the opportunity to take engagement photos but still wanted something that would feel personal. This was perfect for us! "Outdoorsy", simple, fun, but elegant. The paper quality is great and the image is exactly what I expected it to be. The only thing I would say is the default font for your names can be a little tricky to read at first glance; we capitalized the first letters of our first/last names, which seemed to help, but overall it's not a huge deal. I loved being able to add our return address to the envelop in a font that matched the cards, too! Overall, love these and very satisfied."
"I love these save the date cards. The design is simple but gorgeous! Fits perfectly with our beach themed wedding. I was able to customize the color of the font, But I wish the color of the star could be changed as well. Overall I was very satisfied with this product!!"
"I was very impressed with the design and the quality of the paper. It's very sturdy for a postcard. I am getting married in November, so I was looking for an elegant Fall design. The text is clear and to the point. Very easy to read and to post for an easy reminder. Also the customer service was excellent! They were very helpful when I called the next day when I needed to edit words before printing. I highly recommend this design for a fall wedding or any wedding paper diva product."
"Wedding paper divas has become my favorite thing about wedding planning so far! They are always perfect and get it to you fast!"

Reactivating Tumor Suppressor Genes
Name of the Trial
Phase I Study of 5-Fluoro-2'-Deoxycytidine and Tetrahydrouridine in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors (NCI-06-C-0221). See the protocol summary.
Principal Investigator
Dr. James Doroshow, NCI Center for Cancer Research and Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis.
Why This Trial Is Important
A drug called 5-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine (FdCyd) may be effective in blocking a cellular process called DNA methylation, which is believed to play an important role in the development of many cancers. Excessive methylation (hypermethylation) may silence, or "turn off," genes that suppress tumor formation, thereby allowing abnormal cells to proliferate.
Preclinical studies have shown, however, that FdCyd is rapidly broken down in the body, and the breakdown products do not block methylation. Another drug called tetrahydrouridine (THU) may help prevent FdCyd breakdown when administered with it. THU may allow FdCyd to remain intact long enough to reduce the hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes and possibly allow them to be reactivated.
This is the first clinical trial to test the combination of FdCyd and THU in humans. Researchers are interested in establishing the maximum tolerated dose and determining how this regimen affects the methylation of certain genes. They will also determine the toxicity of this treatment, and examine its effects on levels of proteins that are important for the progression of cancer.
"FdCyd/THU is being developed collaboratively by researchers at the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center and the NCI," said Dr. Doroshow. "So far, patients in the trial have tolerated the combination well, and we have seen some clinical responses.
"Our hope is to develop the regimen as an orally available combination that will safely and effectively deliver repetitive doses of these tumor-suppressor gene-activating agents to patients."
Who Can Join This Trial
Researchers will enroll up to 60 adult patients with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment. Patients with breast cancer will receive higher priority for accrual. See the list of eligibility criteria.
Study Sites and Contact Information
This study is taking place at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Md, and at study sites in California. See the list of study contacts or call the NCI Clinical Trials Referral Office at 1-888-NCI-1937. The toll-free call is confidential.

It's both amazing and disturbing at how the media glamorize behavior that is sinful, anti-Christian, self-destructive, and morally bankrupt. Such is the case with the recent media coverage of the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, which took place in August of 1969 in the town of Bethel, NY.
The coverage has portrayed Woodstock as a major event or happening in American history, something that defined a generation, and something that amounted to a riveting cultural phenomenon.
Well, I beg to differ with the media.
The thousands of mostly young people who flocked to Woodstock were nothing more -- or less -- than a bunch of confused, mixed-up kids with no moral compass or direction. A bunch of kids who looked for and found a hedonistic mixture of drugs, sex, and rock and roll, with no responsibility, accountability, or strings attached.
Ladies and gentlemen of New York and Pennsylvania, Woodstock represented and represents much of what is wrong with America. Many of those who attended the event ended up living lives filled with alcohol, drugs, and family problems. Woodstock is not something to celebrate or to be proud of. In fact, Woodstock was a cultural abomination, a national disgrace, and a collective obscenity.
It's comforting to note that most young people in America did not attend Woodstock. They were doing something more productive with their lives.
On a final note: I invite people to send me their comments. I would like to read more comments from people on the air. Comment below, or send me an email.
- Dr. Coleman also airs commentaries and a public affairs program on WETM 18 Elmira. For more information on these programs, go to wetmtv.com.
Your Comments(please keep them on topic and polite)
I wasn't around for Woodstock but I remember vididly the reunion in Rome that ended in disaster. I find it ironic that anarchists can destroy property and engage in other reckless behaviour and it's called, freedom of speech. But when concerned citizens voice their displeasure with a government-run health-care system - it's called "un"-american. odd.
Hi Steve,
I was there and I agree with you on both counts: the event was sinful abandonment of what is good and right by those attending, and the media's aggrandizement of the event is shameful. But the media is not into holding up what is good and right, are they? Rather sinful abandonment is what they are promoting.
Jesus said Satan was a liar and a deceiver.
If you listen to the things being said by many of the so-called "Woodstock generation," you'll hear teachings of Jesus sited, yet without an understanding of what those things really meant.
"Blessed be the peace makers" was often quoted, yet was the motivation out of real peace, or out of fear of being killed in a foreign war?
LOVE was the catch phrase of that time and "free love" was the method. But was it out of genuine love for your neighbor or selfish love: doing whatever personally gratifies the self instead of what makes someone else feel good?
Along that line of thinking, "getting high" was the means to self-enlightenment. Of course, the big problem with that is the word "self." The Woodstock idea of getting high was a selfish act of feeling good, instead of the good feeling that comes from genuine love and doing good for others. God put that desire to get high in all of us. But the "high" God seeks is one of love for Him and not love of ourselves. Our sinful nature naturally points the arrow of love towards ourselves, and in that, the "Woodstock generation" was no different that any other.
EQUALITY was another catch phrase of that time. All are equal before the cross, yet God created men and women to be different. Ironically, the ugly side of our human nature became obvious in this too. The so-called "sexual revolution" became a sorry excuse for men (and women) to excuse their responsibility for their actions. God meant for the rearing of children to be an equal and shared experience between and man and a woman. The rapid proliferation of the single-mother household in the years after Woodstock is a perfect illustration how the meaning of equality was missed.
Jesus was often sited as a non-violent revolutionary by the counter-culture of that time. Yet there was no real understanding of what this meant. Giving of yourself, giving to others, thinking of others before yourself, being responsible for your actions, etc. is certainly revolutionary to our human nature. In that line of thinking, the revolution was really rebellion in disguise.
When you see those old aerial photographs of the Woodstock gathering, it looks pretty good. Wow, look at all these people gathered together in one place, all in the cause of peace and love. But it's when you get back to ground level and up-close where the deceptions, sins and failings become obvious.
And the greatest deception of the whole period is that people somehow believe the "Woodstock generation" was different and better than others. Well, it was different but no better.
