18th Arrondissement (Pigalle)
Le Floors
The French version of a mid-century American diner, Le Floors serves traditional greasy spoon fare as 1960's soul and pop music plays in the background. Situated near the Cháteau Rouge Métro station, the café is housed in a three-story former print shop with a bowed glass-and-concrete facade. Inside, a spiral staircase leads up to the dining room, which has Formica tables, plain leather chairs, and huge windows overlooking the neighborhood. The signature menu items are the burgers, served with an array of special sauces and creative fillings such as foie gras, truffles, satay (spicy peanut) sauce, and onion marmalade.
Insider Tip:
Between the lively young crowd and the Elvis-inspired soundtrack, the restaurant gets noisy after 8:30 p.m., so arrive early if you prefer a quiet meal.

NPR, Ibiquity Strike Deal on HD Radio Power Increase
Washington, DC - Nov 5, 2009 - Ibiquity Digital and NPR have reached an agreement for managing an HD Radio digital level power increase. The two organizations are jointly presenting their recommendations to the FCC today and encouraging the Commission to move to adopt the power increase quickly.
"We are delighted that the radio industry is now poised to push this technology ahead together. We've found practical and balanced solutions that will greatly improve reception while limiting interference to existing analog operations," said Bob Struble, President and CEO of Ibiquity Digital.
The agreement proposes that the Commission authorize a blanket 6dB increase for all commercial and non-commercial radio stations' digital power from the current level of -20dBc to a power level of -14dBc; this is four times the current power level. NPR and Ibiquity consulted with a broad spectrum of commercial and noncommercial stations over the last few weeks, and identified several conditions and criteria to manage the power increase process. These conditions were informed by NPR Labs recent field research, Advanced IBOC Coverage and Compatibility Study, filed with the Commission earlier this week. Conditions of the blanket increase included commitment by Ibiquity and NPR to additional enhancements to the HD Radio system. The development work of the two organizations will focus on single-frequency networks to fill gaps in digital coverage, asymmetrical digital sidebands to reduce the potential for digital interference to short-spaced, first-adjacent analog stations, and low bit-rate codecs and conditional access crucial to moving radio reading services into the mainstream of digital radio broadcasting.
Notably, the two organizations offered an approach to additional power increases beyond a 6dB increase, depending on spacing criteria and conditions that limit harmful interference, and initial models suggest most stations will be able to exceed 6dB.
Mike Starling, executive director of NPR Labs, said, "We are optimistic about the future of HD Radio broadcasting, and eager to continue to work with Ibiquity on the developments that will make this power increase work to everyone's advantage - stations, listeners, and receiver makers."
"I am thrilled that a workable and efficacious compromise has been agreed to on this extremely important and controversial issue," said Milford Smith, vice president of radio engineering at Greater Media. "Replication of analog coverage by the new, digital service is absolutely critical to the continued successful roll out of HD Radio technology." Ibiquity and NPR encouraged the Commission to act on unresolved complaints in cases in which interference is shown to cause a problem.
The agreement also proposes a series of steps drawn from the current AM rules for interference to be applied to qualifying and limiting harmful interference with analog at the 6dB increase level (-14dBc). These steps would remediate harmful interference from any stations increasing power above the existing -20dBc power level.

Launch of NIH MedlinePlus Magazine
NIH MedlinePlus Magazine is a new quarterly publication which brings the latest and most authoritative information from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to patients and their families and to other health care consumers. Free PDF copies of each issue may be directly downloaded to a desktop computer from the web site or free mail subscriptions are available. Issues typically run about 30 pages, and many articles feature prominent links to the MedlinePlus web site for additional information.
The magazine debuted with the Summer 2006 issue http://www.fnlm.org/magazine/summer2006.pdf which featured articles about Lance Armstrong's battle with cancer, detecting and managing high blood pressure, and the challenges of living with Parkinson's Disease.
The magazine was formally launched with the Fall 2006 issue http://www.fnlm.org/magazine/autumn2006.pdf in September, 2006, with an event on Capitol Hill attended by lawmakers, their staff, and members of the press. Dr. Elias Zerhouni, director of the NIH, also attended. He introduced the new magazine and spoke about how it helps deliver good health information to the public. The cover article for the Fall 2006 issue featured Mary Tyler Moore as a spokesperson for diabetes. Print issues are being sent to doctors' offices so their patients can learn about NIH and benefit from the results of NIH-sponsored research.
In the story on diabetes, Ms. Moore tells about her personal experience with diabetes and her long-time involvement with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The article describes the different forms of diabetes and includes tips on how to prevent and cope with the disease.
Other articles in the issue include description of a research project to discover how genes and the environment interact to affect the chances of getting breast cancer in women who have had the disease and their cancer-free siblings, one woman's successful experience in dealing with osteoarthritis, and how to protect yourself and your family from the flu.
There is also an article describing the National Network of Libraries of Medicine and its cooperative work with Network members to ensure that the latest and most accurate biomedical information is available to health professionals and the public, by promoting the many resources of the National Library of Medicine.
There is a link to the NIH MedlinePlus Magazine in the lower right corner of the MedlinePlus home page. You may also soon see the magazine in the waiting room at your doctor's office!

Hi all,
I've looked for an answer to this and only met with limited success. I need to build modular bench work in the 24 - 30" width range that will not be fastened to any walls. I'd also like to have more than my current 8' x 12' space has to offer, so I'd like I'd like to have two levels or tiers, connected using a spiral or very long hidden perimeter climb at about 2.5-3%.
My challenge is to build bench work that will support the second tier without sagging or obstructing the view of the first tier. I've not yet settled on the vertical separation of the two tiers.
I would greatly appreciate ideas and insight in meeting this most important phase of constructing my layout!
For my benchwork, I built 2x4 moduals and bolted them together with carriage bolts. I could not find any straight lumber, so I cut all of mine from 3/4" plywood. The legs are also made from the same material. If I was to add a second level as you want to, I would bolt 2x4s to the backs of the benches to attach shelves for the upper layer. The 2x4s should be turned with the 2" side facing out so the wider side supports the weight without bending. You might even use two 2x4s side by side for further strength. The 2x4s should run at least four feet down the back of the benches, and be attatched at the top and bottom. For the upper shelves, I would build a box like structure like David Barrows did for the tops of his modular benchwork. I would attach the upper shelves with carriage bolts as well. If you made the back edge of the shelf wider so you can spread the load over a wider area it should be strong enough without any additional supports. I would also keep the upper shelf to about 18" wide. Somebody else may have a better idea, and I admit that I tend to over engineer everthing I build. Hope this helps, or at least gives you some ideas.
I would suggest you buy and read the new book Kalmbach recently released on the subject. It has answers to most all multi-deck questions you can think of and problems it creates. The photos are worth the cost alone and will answer a lot of the questions you have.
Roger Huber
I would highly recomend the Model Railroader book "Designing & Building Multi-deck Model Railroads" by Tony Koester. I have a copy and find it to be a great resource. You can purchase a copy on-line trhough this web site. I also have Joe Fugate's DVD sets on how he built his mushroom (double deck) layout, which is a great resource too.
Jim, Modeling the Kansas City Southern Lines in HO scale.
Thank you all. I will take a look at the ideas in the book. I had considered using 2x2 reinforced with H-beam or similar metal shelving material, but will read up a little more first.
Thanks again, Brian.
That is a great idea you have on benchwork. I am a builder and that is great. I have been trying to find info on this type of benchwork as well. I am just getting back into ho trains since I was a kid and my wife is now getting into it with me and my son as well and they just love it. They want to try the N scale as well and we will be putting a O scale on its own shelf along the ceiling. We can not wait for it to be working we are like kids in a candy store. LOL Jim
With out attaching or somehow securing the rear vertical supports, it will be difficult to gain a sturdy upper level. Is there any way to at least screw, toggle or moly those verticals? You would almost need to construct a rear wall of 2x and brace or shelf bracket the upper level. Of coarse the upper benchwork has to quite lightweight.
Modeling B&O- Chessie Bob K.
I know this is not what you are looking for, but when I first started designing layouts, I spent a lot of time trying to get trains from one level to the next and having it look good. A helix in your space will take up half your space. A 3% grade will take 44 feet to rise 18 " If you have a door to get in, you won't make it.
With your space, I would suggest a well-planned single level.

Chip, i misread the initial posting at first, the proposed helix will be in an adjoining work space, I personally would try to use to work space for staging and design a single level within the room itself. The helix is doable as long as the 48+ inches that it needs will fit in the workroom. 26-30" radius and 2 1/2% would be better.
That is a tight helix. I'd love to have 8 x 12 at this point. But I too would do one level and use the works space for tons of staging.

Lighting by way of the B-2 bomber and the B-52s? Thats the gist of Ron Hendersons story. An aerospace engineering student by day and a DJ by night, Ron graduated from Auburn before spending time in the Air Force and at Boeing. A chance airport encounter led him to lighting, where he worked for multiple companies before founding Varaluz in 2006.
Varaluz was born of the belief that lighting should be both interesting and sustainable. Varaluz hand-crafts fixtures the old fashioned way out of eco-responsible materials.
Hand-crafting lends texture and personality that Ron feels cannot be achieved through mass-manufacturing. When not immersed in the throes of a lighting introduction, Ron geeks out on everything design-oriented and has a more-than-slight obsession with shoes and watches.
See other lights/products from Ron HendersonVaraluz - 70% recycled steel. 0% recycled style.
Varaluz was started to address issues the lighting industry was shamefully ignoring. We have a reality facing us a people, as a nation, and as a world that requires us to be more responsible.
Energy efficiency certainly has an important place, but a larger impact can come from designing with responsible materials and designing out waste in the manufacturing and distribution process.
At Varaluz, most of the fixtures use steel that has 70% or greater recycled content and glass that is 100% recycled. Products use many sustainable and reclaimed materials in the glass or shades. Whenever you see the "eco-luz" designation on their products, you can be confident that the item is made with recycled or reclaimed materials and that Varaluz is committed to preserving the earth.

Officers' Quarters: Firelands will not save your guild {WoW}
May 23rd 2011 4:48PM @CodeMunki
And this is why I had to laugh when Blizz attributed the 600k drop off due to players having worked through content too quickly mere months after release (not to mention it's also in conflict with what they stated as their reasoning for postponing Firelands, which was that players were not yet ready... make up your mind Blizz).
We ran Wrath raids literally up to the week before Cata came out. If Blizz honestly believes the PR spin they put out, then they are deeply deluded.
Officers' Quarters: Firelands will not save your guild {WoW}
May 23rd 2011 2:41PM After three years of happily raiding weekly, Cataclysm has squashed my guild's will plunge into 10mans. Every time another member gets fed up and throws in the towel, the fabric of our guild weakens a bit more. It's very sad and frustrating, and I often worry that our five year old guild may be on the brink of dissolving. I feel like this is a truth that is being under-reported: it isn't just a series of individuals mass quitting, it's a slow collapse of the infrastructure that guilds and groups of friends are based on. And when even two or three hit their tolerance levels for Cata content, it's devastating to a small guild like mine.
The absolute tipping point for us was our first recent trip into ZG as a guild split into two 5mans (we had already been burning out on the first bosses of the available raids). I had already pugged it once myself and assured everyone that it could be done. We ended up wiping several times on the way to the first boss, and then again and again once we met him. Since then, we've lost three members. Welcome to ZG.
I commend Blizzard for their resolve to stick with their original design philosophy for Cataclysm, and I understand their development pipeline is long and many of these design decisions we endure were put into motion ages ago, but I really do wish they could swallow their pride, admit their mistakes and return the accessibility of Wrath.
I HAD been telling myself and guildies things would be better in 4.2, but this post has squashed that. I have been trying to actively recruit new members, but I'm probably getting their hopes up for nothing.
Thank you, you've given me plenty to think about.

MMO Roundup: Rogers throttling WoW, Jedi armor sets, and more {WoW}
Mar 29th 2011 5:39PM Read Rogers' own letter of admission. By their own account, the throttling is overreaching and interfering with the game itself, not just the P2P updater.
Considering Blizzard is putting great effort into allowing WoW to stream/download content on the fly while playing (I wouldn't be surprised if this is tech they are testing the waters with which they plan to use to a much larger degree in Titan, btw), I'm betting they aren't too thrilled. This sort of thing has a wide negative impact on anyone trying to innovate in the online space (see my earlier comment regarding Netflix introducing lower quality options to Canadians as of today).
The fact that Canadians have to pressure telcos to give up this basic information by going through our national telecommunications regulator is also troubling. Before now, customer service reps would flat out refute or deny questions or allegations regarding this sort of far reaching throttling (even though savvy people knew otherwise). And even when a problem IS found, it takes months to resolve (in this case, June at the soonest, or at least until Blizz breaks their fix with a new patch).
This is ridiculously awful service on Rogers' part. And for all we know, their throttling IS effecting other services on the network that they intend to free up traffic for, they just aren't transparent enough to admit it or take the initiative to resolve it in a timely manner.
MMO Roundup: Rogers throttling WoW, Jedi armor sets, and more {WoW}
Mar 29th 2011 3:10PM Rogers' actions are deplorable. From the looks of things, they won't be able to fix a problem of their own creation by summer at the soonest. It almost sounds like they can't keep up with Blizzard patching the game.
The telecommunications giants in Canada have been trying to tighten their stranglehold on customers more than ever during the past six months. Low data caps and gouging usage based billing plans are just the tip of the iceberg for what Canadians can expect unless something is done to reign in the abusive business practices of the big telcos. Even today, Netflix has just decided that they will provide options to stream content at lower quality levels for Canadians in order to keep customers from exceeding their caps too quickly (while the rest of the world points and laughs). This is unsurprising considering the telcos also own the largest cable companies in the country, and squashing competition is in their best interest, and not that of the customer.
If things keep going this way, I can almost foresee a time when Canadians will have an option to pay an extra $5 per month to their ISP in order to guarantee their games aren't throttled.
Concerned gamers and users of the internet can stay informed and look for calls to action at http://openmedia.ca/ .
With a Canadian federal election on the horizon, lets aim to make these problems into election issues.

May 19th 2009 6:01PM It's silly that they let you register an account with a non-US address, then give you a great big "OOPS!" prompt if you try to log in afterwards. A scam to get as many people into their database as possible.
Luckily I was able edit my info. I changed it to a fake US address, simply mashing in random gibberish and numbers.
Hopefully that's all it takes. If it requires a proof of purchase of the product, then that could be trouble since I don't think this drink is sold in Canada. My last resort will be to beg a guildie into buying one and giving me their number.
This will be my 75th pet, so I'm stoked.
The Art of War(craft): Is Wintergrasp too successful for its own good? {WoW}
May 17th 2009 4:38PM I was a bit surprised at the overall simplicity of WG when I first played it (which is also part of it's mass appeal). Here are some of my fantastical ideas that could make the zone a bit more interesting, and possibly spread out the players at the same time:
- Introduce a new vehicle, or tweak an existing vehicle to fire over a much greater distance for the assaulting team. This would encourage the defenders to exit the keep and hunt down these long range vehicle "snipers" who are bombarding their walls. Perhaps this vehicle could also only be created at the Southern workshops.
- Allow the bridges to be destroyed (the assets and animations already exist for the destroyed bridges in the game files). This would hinder the progress of the new long range bombarders.
- Instead of simply breaking down the keep door, place an objective in each of the three outer courtyards which must be controlled by the attackers in order to make the door vulnerable. Zero points controlled means the door is invulnerable, while every additional point controlled will multiply damage to the keep door.
- Tune the battle so that it can last closer to 45-60 minutes. The larger time commitment will cause a certain percentage of players to think twice about jumping into battle, rather attracting anyone with 15-20 minutes to spare (assuming the battle goes well, which everyone hopes it will). Lock the battle to new participants at the 30 min mark, and apply a debuff to deserters who leave early if things aren't going well (the higher your battle rank, the greater the debuff).
I'm sure a million holes could be found in these ideas since I didn't put too much thought into them. The point is, it all boils down to creating compelling reasons for players to spread out, rather than focusing on the single point of the keep door. I hope these weekly quests are only a temporary solution, and WG goes through some retooling sooner rather than later. Don't forget how much AV has evolved over time as well.

Patch 5.4 PTR: More spoiler-ridden sound files
Stiven from Adriacraft has returned, literally minutes after the latest PTR build was launched, with a bundle of exciting new sound files. These are seriously spoiler-laden, as ever, so if you don't want patch 5.4 spoilers, for any element of the new content, we heartily suggest not looking at the content after the cut. Also, don't read the rest of the article, don't listen to the sound files, and don't read the comments! Instead, look at this picture of the Ring of Valor, and bemoan (or not) its departure from the game.

Delicious Kobe Beef iPod Anyone? Mmm.
This has got to be one of the strangest iPod accessories I've ever seen. Just slip your iPod Nano into this camouflage jacket, and it'll look just like a hunk of pricey (and delicious) Kobe beef.
Created by Japan's Solid Alliance, the case comes packaged in a clever styrofoam butcher's tray which helps complete the meaty illusion. Now why you'd ever want your iPod to look like a slab of meat is anyone's guess. My first instinct would be to throw my Nano on the grill and cook it over a 550-degree flame. For some reason, I don't think that would be a good idea.
If you're just not getting enough red meat in your diet, head on over to GeekStuff4U and grab one. At the insane price of $97.86, maybe it's actually made out of the extravagant luxury Japanese beef.

i don't think it looks like meat i think it looks like red marble!!

on February 8, 2013Because I think the Stupid is likely to pile up as fast as the snow does over the next couple of days, I thought it best to remind folks that big snowstorms do not mean the planet is not warming, or that we are not changing our climate in terrible ways, or that Al Gore is fat. I know that there's a certain amount of cognitive dissonance involved in the mental equation of Warm Years=Big Snowstorms, but it's not that hard a thing to understand. This latest thing is Sandy with snow. That's all it is. The change we have wrought in the planet's climate is making storms bigger and more destructive than they used to be. Whether they bring rain or snow with them is irrelevant.
I hope some of them have the good sense to come out of the storm.

There isn't really a specific term for SBTRKT's production style, but we've seen it called "future bass" and since it seems appropriate we'll call it that. His work is versatile, the combination of dub, ambient, techno and soul, along with virtually everything else in between, makes his music insanely unique. He made our Coachella Daze series as an act we all thought you should watch for, and his first single off his then presumed self-titled LP, Wildfire, lit a flame of anticipation for what he'd come out with next. That next thing being his first full-length album, and it's pretty damn good. Yes it's experimental, but there are a variety of different feels as you journey throughout the whole thing, making it very, VERY well rounded and definitely worth st least 1 listen all the way through.
It's always intriguing to stumble upon music that could be that "next" thing, and SBTRKT's stuff might be just that. Chill on these tunes for a while and get on one of those good trains of thought. You know what I'm talking about.
