Artist: Si_Swe
Concept: Oscar's Amoebiomorph
Named after the Sesame Street grouch for lurking in (relatively) innocent-looking back-alley trashcans, these creatures take no greater pleasure than in scaring the shit out of meal-seeking urban scavengers. Originally thought to be made by a series of events involving extensive mould and Hubba-Bubba chewing gum, these Amoebiomorphs revel in the flinging of waste and the din caused therein.

Barking Bulb
Artist: JakkaS
Concept: Barking Bulb
These small and defiant creatures can be found on many planets, where they travel on pioneers' ships. They originate from plants, so their feeding needs are very tiny. All they need is a piece of the ground where they can put their legs-roots and sun light. They are small, but when they find their place they will defend it very fiercely. They are chasing away the intruders by making the noise which sounds almost like dog's barking. That's why people call them Barking Bulbs. Spiteful settlers like to drop them into neighbours gardens, just to observe how poor unexpecting miserables are barked at by those small bulbs. Also, chase after those small weeds is very entertaining. Because it's not so easy to catch those small bastards....

Concept: luster
I want to break the rule 1b. No plants
when this creature in egg still a embryo, its parents will put a special seed into the egg, after it grows up it pretty much merge with the plant,
the plant on its back will create some smell to stimulate the sexual behaviour of other creatures include human, and this creature can use the plant to grow out the dummy so the victim will be lure to mate with the dummy, so it can steal the victims stuffs also do some tricks on the victim

Concept:Sarussevart Ocahlap
this strange creature is born of the nature's magical forces, it represents the incarnation of nature's own mischief and wicked behaviour...
it apears mainly at nightime on deep forests, and it's only purpouse in life is to scare the crap out of the local fauna...

Artist: scorge
Concept: Circus Saboteur
Have you noticed the lack of circuses these days? Back in the day, the circus used to be the place where kids and adults alike could marvel at the sights and sounds of the big top and all its wonders.
Then along came this second cousin to the common gremlin, simply known as the circus saboteur. Its evil grin only hints at the motive for this crafty creature to wreak all sorts of mischief and eventually undermine the circus circuit as we know it. Known for its use of tools and and various other accessories often discarded by humans, this homely little beast makes it way from circus to circus, creating havoc and unleashing its mischievous behavior. It is not known exactly why the Saboteur has it in for the big show, but it has been rumored that it once belonged to the freak show exhibit, often tormented and teased by its captors for its unruly red hairdo. The Saboteur is said to have escaped, leaving the circus where it once thrived as an attraction, a burning heap of ashes.

Voting is up! Wicked round. It's gonna be a hard one...
I'm a bit too exhausted for full crits and comments this week. I was a big fan of a lot of the entries this week but my top 4 were:
JanJager - Great attention to detail. bursting with personality, nice rendering.
openanewworld - Amazing style, with excellent sense of form and a fantastic design.
JakkaS - Welcome back to the comp. I joined shortly after you took your sabbatical, but I can confidently say I'm glad you're posting again. Excellent rendering and design. It's hard to give plants personalities and I think you've done a pretty damn good job here.
scorge - Great rendering, awesome design, funny concept with brilliant execution and above all: the best representation of a mischievous personality of the lot (as I see it). Got my vote.

Jakkas - well rendered and an unusual design, a little niggle, its hard to relate to because there are no usual facial features and so no recognisable expression, small thing though. loooks pro.
scorge - i like the pose of the creature and especially the how you captured the mischievous expression on his face, great attention to detail. i wish you could teach me how to paint as well as you.

Hey guys, just letting all of you know that JakkaS has so many wins, that there isn't actually an icon that represents the amount of stars he has. I'm going to try and figure this stuff all out so we can accommodate >20 wins, so bear with me and congrats to JakkaS on being that awesome.

We're Sailing the Amalfi Coast with Intersailclub!
We fell in love with sailing last year when we learnt to be Competent Crew while sailing around the Langkawi islands in Malaysia. We were captivated by the tranquility of life at sea; the freedom of being able to stop anywhere—a beach for lunch and a swim, a hidden cove for the night; and the beauty of sailing into sunsets and under the stars. We knew we wanted to sail more so we're excited to announce that this summer we'll be sailing the Amalfi Coast in Italy with Intersailclub!

The Rare Sight of Jumping Manta Rays in Puerto Escondido
In five years of full time travel we've never seen dolphins or whales—somehow we always miss the right time of year or just get unlucky. It's been on our bucket list for a long time and we hoped that our luck would change in Puerto Escondido, a beach town on Mexico's Pacific Coast, where we're living for a month. It's whale season, but despite reports of others seeing whales and swimming with dozens of dolphins, we went out on a boat trip with low expectations—our past experience had taught us that much.

A/N: TA DA.. the long awaited two last chapters of "The Sealed Well," from now on I'm going to be much more productive and write more stories to share here online. I hope everyone likes this chapter. Its rather long, a bit staggered here and there, but it's going to have a great ending and a surprise in store.. no Kagome's not pregnant again. :D Please read the newer story I just posted and comment. See you all later!
Private Getaway: InuYasha & Kagome
InuYasha held Kikyko in his arms as she sang a song to herself on our way to Sango and Miroku's. Inuko was mumbling to himself stomping his feet, walking ahead of us. "Inuko stop it," I shouted at him. "Why, you guys are leaving us…" he replied angrily. "We are not leaving you kids for good, we just need some time to ourselves, we are entitled to that…" I told him sternly, crossing my arms.
"Time to ourselves she says," he mumbled obnoxiously under his breath. "I heard that," I replied in a stern voice. "Oh will you just shut up Inuko, its not like we're leaving and never coming back, you're making a big deal over something stupid…" InuYasha shouted at him.
"Whatever," Inuko muttered crossing his arms into his sleeves a gesture he got from his father all too well. "Hey Kagome, I see you brought the kids… great we were just about to go out for a walk," Miroku smiled, holding Haku and Kira's hands. He had his son in a sling on his back.
"You kids want to come with us? Hm? Give Sango some quiet time?" he asked, letting go of Kira's hand and extending it out to Kikyko. She smiled and nodded, jumping out of her father's arms. She held Kira's hand and both girls smiled at each other.
"See why can't you two just tell us 'go for a walk so we can have some quiet time,' instead of just disappearing all together." He mocked making his voice sound feminine. "First off you alone Inuko, are more of a handful then two twin girls are… and an even bigger pain in the ass with all this ridiculous questioning, now shut it," InuYasha said sternly.
"Now now InuYasha no need to badger the kid, he's just concerned, say Inuko… how about you join us for an evening stroll hm?" Miroku asked looking down at him. Inuko took in a deep sigh and gave a slight nod. "Good, Kagome, InuYasha, make yourself at home…." Miroku gestured towards the door, and smiled.
"Thanks Miroku, we won't be long anyway, we'll just say hi to Sango and be on our way as well…" I said smiling at the kids. "Awe," Kikyko said jumping up and down, "Don't go momma," she said again reaching her hands out to me. I bent down and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Be good, you're ungrounded for now until we get back so enjoy yourselves ok," I said to her tapping my forehead against hers. Inuko looked at me from the corner of his eye and then turned his gaze elsewhere.
"You, young man…" I told him, reaching my arms out at him smothering him. "AH, MOM REALLY STOP IT…" he said struggling. Kira and Haku both laughed quietly. "You're so embarrassing," he said rubbing his head. "I'm sorry, now be good you two okay, don't cause trouble Inuko I mean it." I said sternly standing up. "Well now, I'll see Sango now, you kids have fun…" I waved at them as Miroku pulled them along.
Inuko looked at me for a brief second as I disappeared through the door, he took in a deep breath and sighed crossing his arms. "Hey," InuYasha said from behind him. "Listen, I know your angry we're going away for a few days, but take this as a lesson to learn some responsibility okay, we won't be around forever… take care of your sister," he told him.
"Dad," Inuko said turning around. But InuYasha had already disappeared in to Miroku's house. "Hm," he said with a smirk, and then darted off following behind Miroku and the girls.
That night InuYasha and I had slept alone for the first time ever since the children were born. The old one level house, nestled deep in the forest, seemed very large for the first time, and rather quiet. We never really brought the children out here yet, the large wide opened field would be a wonderful place for them to play and just be themselves.
I sighed deeply as I brushed my hair. "What's wrong Kagome?" InuYasha asked as he slid in next to me. He took off his haori and draped it over my shoulders. "I'm okay InuYasha; I just miss the kids… I wonder what they're doing right now, do you think they've destroyed Miroku's house yet?" I smiled.
The thought of Inuko destroying Miroku's house was hilarious. After all he's a handful; it wouldn't be a surprise if Miroku and Sango would be ripping out their hair right about now. "Yeah know, if you miss the kids… we can go home early if you want," InuYasha said pushing my hair over my shoulder.
I hate it when he does that. "No, I'm fine InuYasha… I don't want to go home yet," I told him putting down my brush, and rested my head against his shoulder. "Want to sit outside with me?" he asked, touching a hand to my hair. I looked up at him and smiled. "Sure!" I said, as he reached for my hand.
The sun was so warm shining down through the tree tops. I placed my hand over my eyes and looked up at the birds flying over the tree tops. "Such a beautiful day," I said to myself smiling. "Ha, got yeah," InuYasha said his arms wrapped around my waist lifting me off the ground.
"Aaah, InuYasha…" I shouted at him as he lifted me into the air. "What has gotten in to you?" I stuttered, his haori slid off my shoulders and on to the ground. He pulled me to him and lied down on the grass. He pulled me to his chest.
I smiled and closed my eyes, his hand touched my hair. "Kagome," he said lifting an arm to his forehead shielding his eyes from the sunlight. "Mm hmm…" I replied. "I'm glad you're with me," he said. I looked up at him and smiled resting my head against his shoulder. "Me too…" I said sighing deeply.
"InuYasha," I asked, looking up at him. "Yeah?" he said softly, his voice rumbled under my ear. "Do you think, we could go back through the well again?" I asked sitting up. "The well? Kagome what if we can't return to this era?" InuYasha sat up as well and touched a hand to my forehead, pulling my bangs to the side.
"I really miss mom, grandpa and Sota… I would really like to see them," I knew InuYasha would totally be against us going through the well again, the first time we went through the well it was just us, the kids weren't even born. This time, it would be much more difficult.
If we got stuck on the other side and couldn't come back, the kids would be all alone. This worried me, but I tried not to think about the well sealing us on the other side. "Kagome… I can't risk it, I'm sorry…" he acclaimed, pulling the sleeves of his haori through his arms.
I sighed deeply. "Alright," I said quietly. "Alright… if you really want to go, we'll go… but not for long okay?" He smiled touching a hand to my face. "Really? We can go?" I smiled and jumped at him knocking him back down to the ground.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me around him. "Yeah we can go," he said again.
"It seems like forever since the last time I've been here," I placed my hands against my hips and stared at the well, which was covered by leaves, and moss. "Yeah, I think since Inuko was born…" InuYasha replied, coming up behind me. He reached for my hand pulling me behind him, "ready to go?" he asked pulling me towards the well.
"Yeah," I beamed. He jumped into the well and I followed behind. "Oh," I said as I slammed against InuYasha when we landed on the other side. "Sorry," he said wrapping his arm around me, pulling me over the well on the other side.
"Were back, InuYasha…? I can't believe it," I was so excited I just wanted to slide opened the shrine doors and run into the open courtyard and scream for mom, grandpa and Sota.
But InuYasha's hand pulled me to him and stopped me before I reached the sliding doors. "InuYasha," I turned and shouted at him. "No one's here Kagome," he said sniffing the air. "I can't pick up any scents, I don't think anyone's here…" he said crossing his arms. He slid open the shrine doors, and leaned against them.
I ran out to the courtyard and looked around. He's right the house was empty. I ran around the courtyard spreading my arms out. The sun was so beautiful as it was setting, leaving an orange red color in the sky. InuYasha ran after me and grabbed me.
"Thanks InuYasha," I said smiling. I pulled his arms from around me and headed for the house. He walked in after me. "What do I want to do first?" I said to myself scanning the interior, everything was still the same as when I had left the first time, even the house smelt the same.
"What's this?" InuYasha asked smelling a letter that was left on the table. "A note," I took it from him and read it out loud. I sighed and placed the note back on the table. "Seems like mom, Sota and grandpa are on vacation, again…." I said angrily. "I'm going to take a bath," I said angrily clenching my fists. "Kagome?" InuYasha said grabbing my arm turning me around to face him.
"I'm sorry your families not home, we'll stay if you want until they return…" he said trying to comfort me. "Forget it, who knows when they'll be back… let's just enjoy these three days and go back home." I scowled at him. He let go of my arm, and said nothing.
I opened the door to my bedroom and went in. My room too was still the same, same bed, same everything. I sat at the edge of my bed and fell back. "Why am I upset, mom, Sota, and grandpa never know when I'd be coming back… I guess, they deserve their vacation too…" I said to myself.
I sat up and slide off my back crawling over to my dresser. "I need a good hot bath," I opened my dresser and reached for a towel.
"That was amazing…." I said to myself dressing quickly in the bathroom, I cracked open the door so the steam would escape. "I feel much better now," I said tapping my cheeks. I walked down the hall back to my bedroom and opened the door.
"Inu-Yasha?" I said surprised. He was sitting on my bed waiting for me with two bowls of food placed next to him on a tray. "Did you make food?" I asked coming towards him. He smiled and pulled me to his lap. "Here," he said handing me a bowl of ramen. "Ramen I should've known," I chuckled and took apart the chopsticks.
InuYasha picked up his bowl as well. We tapped our bowls together and started to eat, and talk. We haven't really had this much time to ourselves in a long time, I really missed it. We started talking about memories, the Shikon jewel was even thrown in, and the kids.
I was dozing off, trying to keep myself from falling asleep, I kept trying to make sense of the conversation we were having. "Kagome?" InuYasha said taking the empty bowl from me. I rested my head against his shoulder. "Hey…" he smiled touching a hand to my hair. Too late, I had fallen asleep. InuYasha pulled me under the sheets and wrapped his arms around me keeping me close to his body.
"InuYasha," I whispered grasping my hands against his haori. I felt his hands touch mine, "what is it Kagome?" he asked pressing his head against mine. I opened my eyes and looked up at him. "Come, shopping… with me…. Tomorr-o—oww…" I stuttered, my eyes fell heavy again. "Shopping really Kagome," I heard him say, he sighed, and I could feel his chest against my arms.
The sun shone through my curtains the window was opened and a light draft blew though my window. I shivered and pulled the sheets over me. InuYasha hadn't moved all night, his arms wrapped around me again, pulling me closer to him. "Good morning," he said smiling, his head against mine. "Good morning," I smiled in return and pulled the sheets off of me. "Do you seriously want to go shopping…?" he asked his voice agitated and disturbed. "Yes, I want to take stuff home with us," I said touching a hand to his forehead. He narrowed his eyes at me and pulled my hand away.
"Oh come on InuYasha it's not that big of a deal," I told him pulling his arms from around me. He sighed and released his grip from around my body. I slide out of bed, but InuYasha's arms restrained me pulling me back in. "InuYasha…" I hissed at him. He smiled and leaned in to kiss me. "If you're trying to get out of shopping… it's not working," I told him narrowing my eyes. I crossed my arms, and scowled at him. "Fine," he said letting me go.
I shifted out of bed again and went to my dresser to find something decent to wear. InuYasha sat up and leaned against my wall, he watched me as I hovered around my room dressing, talking to myself—like I usually do when I'm in a panic, and trying to multitask, unsuccessfully if I might add.
"Need help!" he asked, sliding off my bed. I was awkwardly balancing some folded clothes, my back bag, and Bouya's stuffed animal toys in my arms. InuYasha grabbed my bag and the toys.
"Thanks," I said sighing deeply. "Okay let's take everything into the living room, I'll grab my purse and we'll go shopping," I told him walking down the hall from my room. He followed behind without words; I knew he was agitated with going shopping. He hated going shopping in my world, the last time I took him shopping we ended up buying baby clothes, and a full bag of food and other miscellaneous items.
"There," I said putting a hat over InuYasha's ears. "That should do it," I smiled. He narrowed his eyes and glared at me. "I hate this thing," he complained. "Oh well, it's only for a few hours," I told him. He glared at me again, I pretended not to notice.
"Hey Kagome," InuYasha said hovering around the kitchen. He was almost annoying, "Yeah" I replied. "Why not we just skip shopping and go back home early," he placed his hands on his hips when he said this and laughed. I narrowed my eyes at him and gave him a cold glare. "You're not getting out of this InuYasha, we're going SHOPPING…" I protested loudly.

advice for what to do with lawn
Hello, new here, I had not performed a search as I thought my question was a little specific to me. I bought my house a year and a half ago in central new jersey. To the side of the front of the house, I believe someone planted zoysia which I believe started to blend with tall fescue or maybe a sun and shade mix. The back might be a sun and shade mix, but to be honest it's mainly just weeds mixed in with grass. The lawn is pretty crumby looking and this being my second summer, I would like to attempt to make my lawn look like I at least care. Having mentioned the grass mixture in the front, should I stick with tall fescue or Should I overseed with zoysia?
Thank you very much
Is there any chance the zoysia is not zoysia but creeping bentgrass? Why do you think it's zoysia?
Can you post a picture of the entire lawn and one of the zoysia close up (3 inches away)? Preferably take the pictures on a cloudy day to reduce the contrast.

Sanders is dead to me now...
hawaiiansteel, don't know where you found that picture of him with Peyton and Welker, but that was hilarious!
Sanders is dead to me now...
hawaiiansteel, don't know where you found that picture of him with Peyton and Welker, but that was hilarious!
It's always interesting to see a player whom most think was 'average' will pan out under a different system. We all thought wallace was a one trick pony who talks a big game but doesn't live up to his hype - and so far that appears correct. Is the majority correct on sanders? The seahawks showed the trick to beating the broncos is to literally beat the crap out of them. Manny is fast and can catch the ball when no one is near him. But catching the ball and holding on after contact has not been his skill set in my opinion. I'm sure he's lighting it up in OTA's where no one is planting him. let's see what happens in sept.
I think Sanders will start for the Broncos (since they go 3-wide so often), but Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker, and Julius Thomas will all out-perform him in the Denver passing game. In fact, I think that rookie Cody Latimer could pass Sanders on the depth chart before the year is up. If so, Manny would have to hope that Denver does not re-up with Welker in the off-season, so that he can take over his slot role in 2015.
1.22 OLB Alvin "Bud" Dupree, 6'4" 269
2.56 TE Clive Walford, 6'4" 251
3.87 CB Alex Carter, 6'0" 196
4.121 OT Donovan Smith, 6'6" 338
5.160 FS Kurtis Drummond, 6'1" 208
6.199 WR Stefon Diggs, 6'0" 195
6.212c CB Cam Thomas, 6'0" 195
7.239 OLB Obum Gwachum, 6'5" 246
Priority UDFA's:
RB John Crockett, 6'0" 217
RB Corey Grant, 5'9" 201
DE B.J. Dubose, 6'4" 284
DE Martin Ifedi, 6'3" 275
FS Jordan Haden, 5'11" 200
P Spencer Roth, 6'4" 227
I think Sanders will have a very good season, but I don't think he will be enough to put the Donks over the Super-Bowl-winning threshhold. They'll be embarrassed again in the postseason, and Peyton will take his mediocre playoff record into retirement.

therapeutic boarding schools
I'm trying to find out any information I can about a therapeutic boarding school called Discovery Academy in Provo Utah. If you know anything good or bad about it I'd appreciate hearing from you
I don't know about this particular school, but I sent my daughter to one in LaVerkin, Utah..........and it saved her life. She wasn't even half as bad as most that went there, but I just couldn't handle her and she was pushing all the limits and had undesirable friends. THey were intensely theraputic.....and VERY rigid.
She was there for almost a year........when she was 17. She is now 21, doesn't drink.....owns her own house and is working with troubled kids. She did go to college but is not now......just couldn't seem to be happy there. She loves to work and loves her job.......at times working a TON of overtime.
She was engaged to be married this summer, but three months out, decided she needed to grow up more beforehand. And she is.....and I am very proud of her.
I hope you find what you need!!! There are tons of schools out there to help you and to help your child!!!
I work at Discovery Academy and believe that it is an excellent school. Each student has the opportunity to work with a mentor who helps them see how to live in the world and act appropriately. Discovery Academy is a clinical boarding school whose mission is to inspire each student to a quest for excellence in all areas of life. Through an intensive program of academics, therapy, and life skills training, students are challenged to excel in their development; intellectually, emotionally, socially, spiritually/ethically, and physically. Staff and student interactions are governed by mutual respect, in an environment that balances individuality with community.
This may not be much help to you if you are skeptical, but I assure you that in my opinion Discovery Academy is one of the better programs offered to troubled youth. We have a very clean track history. To my knowledge we have only had one incident that resulted in the termination of an employee several years ago.
Your child will be safe and secure at Discovery Academy and will have the opportunity to improve their relationship with you and perform better in school.
All of the staff at Discovery Academy go through an intense training cycle to insure that they are qualified to work with youth. Utah State laws are also very strict when it comes to interactions with youth. They are more strict than many other states. Please visit the Academy's Web-site. If you have specific questions please feel free to contact me.

The Space
This is your opportunity to stay in Montmartre one of the most colorful, mixed and touristy areas of Paris and live like a real Parisian half way between the Basilica of the Sacré-Coeur and the Moulin Rouge. Appreciate the feeling of being at home, and enjoy the calm of this small 1 bedroom apartment after a busy day discovering the city.
Located on the 3rd French floor of an 18th century walk up classic Parisian building, this very quiet small 1 bedroom apartment of 32 m2 (340 sq ft) with its parquet floor, offers a master bedroom with a double bed and a desk, a bright living room with a sofa bed and a meal corner. Better suited for a couple it can host up to 4 people (ideally 2 adults and 2 children).
The small kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave, electric oven, coffee machine, so you can enjoy your meals in the apartment.
The building is on a 'cul de sac' and the apartment backs onto a private courtyard. You will appreciate the calm and the clear view while being in the center of Montmartre, an eclectic and touristy Parisian neighborhood. This mythical district where many artists as Dalí, Modigliani, Monet, Picasso and Van Gogh had studios or worked has a unique feel of a small village within the city with many attractions, boutiques, restaurants, wineries, fromageries...
A professional maid is in charge of the cleaning and ensures that bed linen and towels are changed before and after stays.
The building is a classic Parisian 18th century walk up with a security code in the front door. As most of the buildings in Paris were built on the 18th and 19th century there are few buildings with an elevator. You'll stay in the main building; the inner courtyard houses four small independent apartments.
- High-speed Internet (WIFI)
- Flat screen with cable TV
- Double bed (140 cm x 200 cm)
- Sofa bed (140 cm x 200 cm)

Interaction with Guests
It's important to keep communication flowing prior and during you stay. If you need information, directions, have an issue or complaint don't hesitate to contact me.
I try to meet all my guests. As I work during the day and travel quite often this is not always possible, yet my wife or friends are always available and I'm just an email away to help you as you get acquainted with Paris.
The Neighborhood
The apartment is located in the heart of the lively, colorful, mixed and touristy neighborhood of Montmartre steps away to the metro station Anvers (200 meters), the Basilica of the Sacré-Coeur (300 meters) and the Moulin Rouge.
The apartment is in the crossroad of 4 different areas of Montmartre:
Touristy up north, popular to the west, trendy to the east and familiar down south.
This is an eclectic neighborhood, with 'real' Parisians living and lots of tourists visiting. A mix of cultures and nationalities makes this area authentic and always busy yet safe.
In Montmartre's hill many of the 18th century buildings are still intact, giving the neighborhood a history-charged feel. By contrast, the area is also known for its art scene and its trendsetting qualities.
"Few neighborhoods in the world are as associated with art as Montmartre in Paris. Since the middle of the 19th century, it has been attracting artists with its enchanting location overlooking Paris, the domed Basilica de Sacré-Coeur, winding, cobblestone streets and cozy cafes. Monet, Van Gogh, Dali and Picasso are only a few of the great names associated with the district."
"This idyllic inner-Paris neighborhood boasts the best of Parisian art, culture, and romance.
There's a reason why Montmartre is always bustling. This iconic hilltop neighborhood's striped awnings, cobblestone streets, and lively plazas rest at the foot of its pilgrimage-worthy basilica, Sacre Coeur. The neighborhood's sacred structure and artisanal shops encourage frequent foot traffic, but Montmartre's ceaseless activity invites more than pleasure strollers along its cinema-worthy streets—entrepreneurial misfits add a picaresque slant to Montmartre's picturesque street scenes."
Getting around
Three subway lines and many buses just steps away will bring you straight to all attractions (Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, Le Louvre...) and shopping areas (Galeries Lafayette, Avenue Montaigne, Rue du Faubourg St Honoré) and 4 Railway stations (Gare du Nord, Gare de l'Est, Gare Montparnasse and Gare St Lazare).
The nearest subway station is Anvers (200 meters).
It's super easy to get to the apartment from the all Paris airports.
A public parking is available at 100 meters.
Everyone respectful to neighbors and considerate to the space is welcomed. No "party" types.
This is a very quiet residential building so please keep noise down during your stay especially at night.
If you smoke, make sure to ventilate the apartment for the comfort of the next guests.
Thank you!
Nous avons passé un très bon moment dans l'appartement de Gabriel. Bien situé, calme, lumineux et fonctionnel! Nous u reviendrons avec plaisir!
El apartamento se encuentra en una zona céntrica y muy bien conectada con los "imprescibles en París", es un barrio tranquilo al igual que el edificio. Gabriel muy atento, preocupándose en todo momento, y recomendándonos lugares bonitos.
It was a great weekend in a great flat which has everything you need. All the rooms are towards the inner yard which makes it really quiet, although one is in Monmartre.
Gabriel est à l'écoute de ses hôtes, veille à ce que tout se passe bien et est souple sur les heures de départ/arrivée. Notre échange de mails a été très convivial.
L'appartement a beaucoup de charme et est très agréable, "ensoleillé et au calme" sur les toits de Paris, l'annonce ne ment pas! Rien ne m'a manqué pendant ces 2 jours.
A refaire sans hésiter!
Amazing host! Made me feel right at home and was extremely quick to answer am questions I had. Made my quick stop in Paris painless!
Great directions and instructions to the apartment, and getting in. The apartment was as described, too – the listing and photos are accurate – and Gabe was friendly and helpful by message. Very much recommended.

Monitor Bandwidth Usage with vnStat
Productivity Sauce
In these days of bandwidth caps and pay-per-kilobyte rates, keeping an eye on your bandwidth usage makes a lot of sense. While there is no lack of bandwidth monitoring utilities, vnStat stands out from the crowd thanks to its ability to store monitoring data in a database and resume monitoring automatically on reboot. This means that once installed and configured, vnStat quietly monitors a specified network interface and saves the collected data. You can then use vnStat's command parameters to view detailed reports of your bandwidth usage.
vnStat is available in the software repositories of many mainstream Linux distributions, so you can easily install it using your distro's package manager. On an Ubuntu-based system, vnStat can be installed using the sudo apt-get install vnstat command. Before you can start using the utility, you must specify the network interface you want vnStat to monitor. First, run the ifconfig command to view a list of all available network interfaces. You can then use the -u and -i parameters to create a database for the specified network interface, for example:
sudo vnstat -u -i wlan0
Once vnstat is configured, it needs some time to collect data. After that you can view the bandwidth usage statistics using the vnstat command. The utility sports a few rather useful parameters, too. The -d ( or --days) parameter displays the daily bandwidth usage, while the -w ( --weeks) and -m ( --months) parameters break down the statistics by week and month. You can view a full list of available parameters using either the vnstat --help or vnstat --longhelp command.
The packaged version of vnStat that is available in your distro's software repositories may not include vnStati -- a nifty utility which can turn dry text-only statistics into nice-looking graphs. In this case, if you want to analyze monitoring data visually, you have to compile vnStat from source. Fortunately, this is a rather straightforward procedure. First of all, make sure that you have all the tools necessary for building software from source. On Ubuntu, you can install them using the sudo apt-get install build-essential command. Next, install the libgd2-noxpm and libgd2-noxpm-dev libraries, using the sudo apt-get install libgd2-noxpm libgd2-noxpm-dev command. Download the latest .tar.gz version of vnStat from the project's Web site and unpack it. Switch to the resulting directory in the terminal and execute the make all command. Finally, run the sudo make install command to install the software. To generate a graph in the PNG format using VnStati, you have to specify at least three parameters: a graph type, a network interface, and the output file. For example, the command below produces a vnstat.png graphics file containing a traffic summary including hourly data using a horizontal layout:
vnstati -vs -i wlan0 -o ~/vnstat.png
Of course, you can use the vstati --help command to view a list of the available parameters.
Additional ToolsThis tool looks great, thanks.
If anyone has additional network monitoring needs, let me suggest this website: http://www.activitymonitori...network_server_monitoring1.php
great tipthank you very much, have been looking for such a program.
was easy to install through ubuntu's apt

Ajíaco Bogotano Recipe
04 Feb 14
This comforting Colombian soup recipe comes to us from Carlos Ordoñez, member of the Slow Food Bogotá Convivium. Carlos scoured the country in search of traditional recipes, collecting 2,700 in just one year. This soup is the perfect example of the symbiosis between the indigenous, peasant and Spanish cultures in the country, whose influences intercept to create a delicious result that has become a national favorite.
Ajíaco Bogotano celebrates the biodiversity of potatoes using three Colombian varieties. We have suggested alternatives if these are not available. This recipe is part of Recetario latinoamericano de los cocineros de la red de Terra Madre - a collection of traditional dishes from across Latin America, published by Slow Food (in Spanish).
Serves 4
1 large scallion, whole
6 tbsp / 25g fresh coriander, chopped
750g skinless chicken breasts, with bone
Salt and pepper to taste
250g Papa Criolla (Solanum phureja), or another creamy yellow potato such as small Yukon Golds or Yellow Fingerling, peeled and cut into cubes
500g Papa Pastusa (Solanum tuberosum), or another large white potato such as Russet, peeled and cut into cubes
375g Papa Sabanera (Solanum tuberosum), or another small purple potato, peeled and cut into cubes
2 medium ears fresh corn, cut into 3 pieces
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
¾ cup / 50g guascas* leaves
¾ cup / 180ml heavy cream
¾ cup / 120g capers, rinsed
2 avocados, peeled and sliced
Tie the stems of scallion and coriander with cotton thread and place them in a large pot along with 2L water, the chicken breasts, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil and cook over a medium heat for 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked and tender. Remove chicken and set aside. Remove the scallion and coriander. Add the potatoes, corn and garlic.
Meanwhile, once the chicken is cool, shred by hand and place at the bottom of serving bowls.
Simmer the soup until the potatoes begin to fall apart and the soup thickens and the corn is tender. Add the guascas and cook for further 5-10 minutes.
Prepare separate serving plates for the capers, cream and avocado in the middle of the table so your guests can garnish their soups. Ladel on top of shredded chicken and enjoy!
*Guascas is a common herb in Colombia and can be found in some Latin supermarkets. It is also known as Mielcilla (Costa Rica), Galinsoga (NZ), gallant soldier (USA), and Potato weed. If not available, replace with 2 bay leaves and 2 tbsp chopped parsley.

ADDISON COUNTY — In the act of raising one's voice in song, people can experience the "powerful, spiritual and joyful" vibes that music offers, Middlebury Union High School chorus teacher Elizabeth LeBeau says. Those benefits are not limited to the youngsters at the high school, but are also enjoyed by adults, such as the women who participate in the Maiden Vermont chorus.

ADDISON COUNTY — "Group singing, for those who have done it, is the most exhilarating and transformative of all," wrote Stacy Horn of Time magazine in a piece this past summer on how singing can change a person's brain.
If you ask the Middlebury Union High School chorus and the Maiden Vermont women's barbershop singing group they'll tell you that, boy, is she ever right.
MIDDLEBURY — Fishing is a sport that typically conjures images of hot, sunny days, shorts and a wide-brim hat, clear streams or a quiet canoe and a calm lake.
But for some, the hobby that many of us leave to warm weather lives strong throughout the cooler months of the year.
When we talk about health and well-being, many tend to narrow their gaze to fitness, diet and exercise. While those are certainly important elements of the theme, other activities, hobbies, and projects can also be great measures of general health and happiness, aiding in a more complete and balanced measure of wellness.
MIDDLEBURY — Despite the gloomy weather this past Sunday, more than a hundred community members enjoyed a long bicycle tour.
The tour was on stationary "spinning" bicycles at the Middlebury Fitness health club and the goal was not miles traveled but money raised. By that measure it was a big success as they raised more than $7,000 for the United Way of Addison County in the six-hour Spin United fundraising event.
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison County Regional Planning Commission on Jan. 9 peppered a Vermont Gas Systems executive with questions about the "Phase II" pipeline project.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — After reconvening for the new session, lawmakers in Washington, D.C., have found themselves again gridlocked over a new federal farm bill.
When Congress got back to business Jan. 6, some members expressed a belief that a new bill could be sent to President Obama before the Martin Luther King Jr. Day break. But those hopes were dashed as a new bill will not make it out of the 41-member conference committee to the floors of the House and Senate before members head home at the end of this week.
ADDISON COUNTY — Bridport Grange No. 303 and the Addison County Farm Bureau have organized a series of breakfasts and lunches at which local lawmakers and residents can discuss what is going on in Montpelier during the legislative session.
The 2014 Legislative Breakfast series will debut on Monday, Feb. 3, and include a March 24 session with Gov. Peter Shumlin.
Below is the full text of Gov. Shumlin's Jan. 8 State of the State address to the legislature.

At this strategy session, you will go through the following steps: ___ Discover their WHY. Find out why new BB is doing Arbonne – a sort of mission statement. To get them thinking, here is a question "If money wasn't an issue, what would your life look like? Would you go back to work tomorrow?" Help people get off their hamster wheel and teach them how to dream again. ___ Review the names in their STARTNOW Workbook. Have new BB start creating 100 name "wedding" list!! Ask them to star the top 5 names of people they would love to work with regardless of whether they think those 5 will be interested. Ask upline how we IDENTIFY these key people. (Already successful, Has $$ to get started, Person of influence, Told you already WHY they need Arbonne). Help them call these people right NOW. If they're not sure what to say, have them try this: "I'm really excited! I just started a new business with Arbonne, and I want you to come hear about it!! It might not be for you, but you might know someone who it's right for. I would love for you to come and support me." ___ Set a date for an Assemble the Team Meeting/Business Launch Celebration. They will invite their top 5 key people, friends and family to this meeting/ conference call to hear the information they heard that got them interested. Do within 72 hours. (Those that don't attend set up a 3-way call with the sponsor or VP). This is "The Yellow Ribbon Cutting Ceremony" for their new business! See who wants to join their team. Keep it fun and SIMPLE! This is also where you are asking for their friends and family to support them with love, encouragement, using products, having parties, giving referrals, etc. ___ Determine what days they will work their business. Have them set times that they will fill with their 20 one-on-ones and group presentations. They need to set aside at least 2-3 days/week that they will work their business typically to hit their goals. Work with them to set up their 6-10 group presentations – get them on the books!! ___ Have them call at least two people to do a one on one with before leaving this business strategy session. Choose dates that you; the sponsor can attend as well. ___ Set their goals. These goals should be ACTIVITY goals, not monetary (volume) goals. Volume goals often shut people down and can be intimidating. We want people to focus and attach themselves to the activity, not the outcome. Name: Date: Step III – Business Strategy Workshop/Webinar Attend workshop, roll up your sleeves and work the following agenda: 1. The Start Now Workbook – This is the KEY/FOUNDATION to your success in Arbonne! Fill this out in DETAIL: 21 Reasons WHY – 5 of these need to CONNECT to your heart, we say, "At least 5 need to make you cry!" They are YOUR purpose for doing Arbonne. These "why's" will be what hold you accountable, keep you committed and give your upline a resource to help you push through obstacles. Create a powerful "I" Story – Use 5 Strong Why's and Listen to Deanna Wilkinson's Learn & Burn on "How to create a powerful "I" Story". Use "I" Story Checklist as a guide for your own story. 100 Person or MORE Contact/Wedding/Graduation/Christmas Card List - Ask friends and family for their contacts too. More is better – It helps you think abundantly! This does not have to be close contacts. Who can you connect or reconnect with and share the Arbonne products/opportunity? 5 Key People – These are already on your 100 or more list! Identify them by asking the qualifying questions of each person on your list. Place a * by their name, each time they fit the profile of the following questions: a. Who do you want to work with in Arbonne? b. Who has told you they would benefit from Arbonne, because they need a change in their life, they need to add relationships to their life, or they need the freedom and flexibility that it offers with time and money? They have made statements like: "I hate my job", "I want to be home with my children", "I don't know how I am going to pay our bills this month, we don't have enough money", "My husbands job is killing him", etc. c. Who is a person of influence? Not because of title, but because of who they are and how they treat people. People flock to them. They light up a room…they don't darken a room! Put 2 STARS beside their name, Name: Date: because if they decide to join Arbonne, they will be able to influence others to do the same! Their business can grow quickly! d. Who has a little money to get started with their business? e. Who is that is already successful in what they do in life? They are hardworking, driven, ambitious, etc. After you have gone through these qualifying questions, look at your 100 or more person list and see WHO has 4-5 *'s beside their name! These are your "KEY" people. Let your upline VP help you assemble your DREAM TEAM by talking to these key people and let them know why you thought of them, when you started Arbonne. Mark your calendar – Work this business consistently 2 nights/week. We teach 2 parties + 2 drop off sets + 2 people invited to a business presentation/ week. ACTIVITY is KING! Plug into RVP/NVP calendar first and then schedule your activities around training events. Get into Activity – 20 Activities in 30 days. 10 of these activities need to be GROUP presentation. Your goal is to get in front of and share Arbonne products and business to 50-60 people/month. When you do this with group presentations, with 4-10 people at each presentation, it is easier than doing 50 or 60 one on one's. We call this working SMART NOT HARD! Revenue producing activity is one of the following: Group presentations, one on one's, Results Drop off of sets or sample packs, Launch party, Discover Arbonne with prospects. 2. Verbiage for Activity – Review it. See or ask upline NVP for the attachment. Look at new business builder verbiage for inviting people to have a party, attend a Discover Arbonne, etc. 3. Call for Revenue Producing Activity for 45 minutes and get ACTIVITY on your schedule. (Have everyone bring their calendar with open dates for activity, contact list, and cell phone. Before the calling begins make a statement similar to this to make them think first: "Our Success Plan calls for 6-10 presentations or 20 revenue producing activities in 30 days. Your dreams need to equal your activity! If I told you in the next 1 hour, that you needed to book at least 6-10 parties or 20 activities on your calendar in the next 1 hour, how many of you could do it? (See how many raise their hands, then ask…). If I told you that I have a 10K dollar check for your name and when you book those activities, you would get this check (write out a fake check), how many of you could do it now? It is amazing to me, when someone wants to stay home with their kids, but then I look at their calendar and I see NO activity. What makes them think that dreams can come true when this is what we do? It makes me assume you just must not care that much about your "why's" for doing this business. Name: Date: Prizes for the most and least booked! Success Happens in Network Marketing for the most booked, because that is how you get successful. A "belief" bookmark of some kind to the one that booked the least. I BELIEVE you can still achieve success in Arbonne, if you don't quit!? 4. Brief Arbonne=Results Presentation – Notify the people in attendance and getting started of the next Earn & Learn that is scheduled for them to attend. Share party tips, games, and scheduling tips. Teach them that I end the party on Page 20 of the Arbonne = Results presentation. 5. Discuss the "Where do you see yourself", Page 22, with my customers at the time of ordering when it is more private. Work to invite them to an event. 6. Plug into training and support – Arbonne.com, register for Learn & Burn subscription for $5/month, Arbonne University, get on upline RVP email blast, get upline phone # and email address, and attend monthly meetings with guests!!! Do not go alone! 7. Personal Development – Read books, this is one on one time with these incredible authors! Show consultants the books that you read, so they know what they are looking for when shopping: The Gift by Shad Helmstetter The Dream Giver by Bruce Wilkinson Dare to Dream and Work to Win by Dr. Tom Barrett (only available on his site, firstname.lastname@example.com. Your First Year in Network Marketing by Mark Yarnell Any book by Dr. John Maxwell. My favorites are: Today Matters, Failing Forward, Developing the Leader Within Me and Developing the leaders around me. Close workshop with time for questions and answers!!

I have something like 10 components that have code that's very similar, except for the target that it's applied to and some other minor differences.
For example, I return xml to
component1 and
component2 that differs in this way:
component 1: event.result.names.name
component 2: event.result.phones.phone
I then bind these to a
List, and the name of that list differs by component.
component 1: nameslist.dataProvider =
component 2: phoneslist.dataProvider =
How do I create a single method that would accept as parameters just the names/pointers/references to the objects I need worked on. For examples
nameslist or
phoneslist as
List or
.phones.phone vs.
.names.name for the structure of the xml returned?

Cranking amps are for starting batteries. What you need to know is the "Group Size" of the batteries, or the Amp Hour capacity of them, nominally at the 20-hour discharge rate.
I'm guessing they are group 24 or group 27 with a nominal capcaity around 75AH each when new. If you only cycle them 50%, that means you are working around a 75AH useable capacity for the "bank".
How often you will draw them down, how fast you want to charge them...you have to run the numbers for an energy budget. Odds are that one 50A or 55A solar panel with a simple charge controller would work out pretty well for the minimal power needs you have. FWIW, if you invest in an MPPT controller, which may be overkill for you, they actually squeeze about 10-15% more effective power out of a solar panel, so they're actually useful.
Anything smaller, and a couple of gray days after a deeper than usual discharge is going to leave you looking for extension cords. Typically, in a full 12-hour day of bright sun, you'll get about four hours worth of "rated" full output fro a solar panel. (i.e. pretend the day is only 4 hours long but the panel is working at full output for those four hours.)

- Bold, powerful and thought provoking. Covers all angles that a documentary should - rapists/convicted, law makers, psychiatrists, members of the society and friends/family of those associated.
- My understanding of why the Information & Broadcasting Ministry had a ban on Indian airing is because of the rapists brazen comments in reference to women, rape and criminal activities. Reason why it escalated is because there is no sense of remorse whatsoever which is disappointing, shocking and unnerving.
- Further problems added by the defence lawyers who in a way justify the act with their comments. While I would say that it is their job to say such things in order to keep the case alive as it is still undergoing after appeal. Their statements reek of disrespect towards women and highlight that they find men superior than women.
- It is worth noting that the police and/or the government tried their very best to prevent the movement and the agitation after the brutal rape. This raises questions of how independent we really are.
- Chance now for the new government - both at the centre and at the state - to make a change. If they really want to that is without this greed for votes blinding them.
- Lastly, as mentioned in the documentary, the solution isn't just in the hanging of four or five rapists, or of amendments in Juvenile Justice Act, but in education. In women realising their self worth and men realising the importance of women from the get go.
- If by banning the documentary, the government wants to prevent itself from being shown in a bad light then it is time for a self reflection and understanding that there is a problem that needs fixing. Living in a problem and shutting things from happening is not the answer. Calling India a free democracy is a blatant lie. Calling Delhi safe for women is furthest from the truth. Calling a girl child equal to a male child is laughable.

Life goes on
For quite some time, I used to wish that if/when I were to die, things would come to a standstill. Not in a time will stand still kind of metaphorical basis but in a people's lives will come to a grinding halt kind of basis.
Yes that is selfish but isn't that what we are? We yarn to make a change in the world, on people around us - for better or for worse. And this is yet another selfish desire, last desire so to speak.
But I've come to the realisation that it doesn't happen. However much we want for it to happen - it doesn't. Yes people will shed bucketload amount of tears, there will be sadness, there will be that air of uncomfortableness but at the end of the day, it's just temporary. There will be the customs and traditions being followed and done with but after that, everyone goes home and sleeps it off.
I've tried to understand why is it that I want people's lives to stop; for their daily activities to be affected. And the answer, I think, is that everyone wants different things when it comes to 'end of life'. Some seek immortality, some a good life after death but I think I don't want either. I don't think my life, my work or my deeds will make any impact in the world and that is something everyone wants to do - atheist or religious. So, in a terribly absurd way, I hope people's lives are 'stopped' when I die. Now I understand the paradox that this is. How can someone stop living their lives when you've not made a dent in it? And that is a question I can't answer. Or can't figure out. Just yet.

It is difficult to define 'baggage' in human feelings terms. Maybe it's not so much difficult to 'define' but difficult to narrow down.
To most, baggage is the negative feelings or vibes you carry from previous romantic relationships to your life forward or to your next relationship(s). But why is it reduced to just romantic relationships I wonder?
Why not other form of relationships too? Friends for example and what they've done (or not done), can be baggage too. Friends probably matter more than a significant other does to some people. Friends can have a more damaging and more long lasting impact that a relationship might not.
Solution? Cut them loose. Break up. It stings and it's difficult but it's got to be done when there is no solution. Not everything works out - same applies to a friendship. You can try to keep it going but at some point you just realise it's not going to work out. You're putting in more effort in keeping it going than in enjoying it. So, leave. Let it go. Move on.

Go for the unimaginable,
Dream or aim big,
But life doesn't feel that way.
Some dreams,
Some stars,
Some targets,
Are impossible.
Scars leave a cynic.

Takeaways: Before Sunset
I mean, I always feel like a freak because I'm never able to move on like... ...this! You know. People just have an affaire, or even... entire relationships... They break up and they forget! They move on like they would have changed a brand of Cereals! I feel I was never able to forget anyone I've been with. Because each person have... you know, specific qualities. You can never replace anyone. What is lost is lost. Each relationship, when it ends, really damages me. I haven't fully recovered. That's why I'm very careful with getting involved, because... It hurts too much! Even getting laid! I actually don't do that... I will miss of the person the most mundane things. Like I'm obsessed with little things.

This immediately reminded of all of them. How there is one little thing that I remember about everyone. Be it positive or negative, something that I can associate with each one of them.
Worst was when X moved on "like changing a brand of cereal".
