Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
08 Feb 2009 19:09 GMT | Politics
Around 5.3 million Israelis will be eligible to vote in the elections for the 18th Knesset (Israeli parliament) on February 10, 2009.
All Israeli citizens over the age of 18, irrespective of their race and religion, have the right to vote.
Similarly, every citizen aged 21 or older is eligible for election to the Knesset, provided they have no criminal record, do not hold an official position and have not specifically been prohibited by the courts to stand for election.
Though the Knesset term is for four years, most of the 17 Knessets since 1948 have been unable to complete their terms because of the complexities of coalition politics and Israel's unique election process.
Proportional representation
Israel's political system is based on a single electoral constituency, whereby the whole country forms one constituency, and uses proportional representation to elect members of its parliament.
This means that while a lot of parties may win seats in the Knesset, no single party ever commands a majority and must form a coalition.
The party that wins the election needs the support of 61 members to form a government. To gain a seat, a party must win a minimum of 2 per cent of the national vote.
The main advantage of this system, however, is that it is highly representative. The make-up of the Knesset closely reflects the way people voted.
The disadvantage is that a parliament made up of lots of small parties may not be able to provide a stable government.
Registered parties
There are 34 registered parties competing for seats in the elections on February 10.
The three main parties are Kadima, Likud and Labour.
Small parties like the ultra-Orthodox Shas find themselves in the spotlight when big parties are trying to form a coalition. They do not hold many seats, but they can make or break a government.
Some constitutional experts want the Knesset entry threshold to be raised from 2 per cent to five per cent of the vote. They say the current system allows small parties to hold the bigger parties to ransom.
Prior to the elections, parties select their candidates through primaries or by any other procedures they deem fit.
Each party then presents its agenda, and a list of candidates for the Knesset, in order of precedence to the Central Elections Committee.
All political parties are eligible for political funding from the state in proportion to their votes. Only eligible voters can contribute an amount below a prescribed ceiling to parties or factions, which for 2009 is 1900 Shekels ($466).
In 1996, Israeli electoral law allowed for prime ministers to be elected by direct vote.
However, this was changed in 2001 as it was believed to contribute to instability within parliament.
A law passed in December 2000 decreed that candidates for prime minister do not have to be members of Knesset, but must be nominated by a party currently represented in the Knesset.
Once the election results are declared, the Israeli president assigns the task of forming a government to a Knesset member most likely to get the support of more than 60 members to form a majority.
The strict rules on personal contribution and the transparency of public electoral funding have led to widespread campaign finance irregularities in Knesset elections.
State comptroller investigations in 2000 uncovered campaign finance violations by almost all parties.
The 2009 elections were called when Ehud Olmert, the caretaker prime minister, resigned over corruption charges in 2008.
Tizpi Livni, the foreign minister, who replaced Olmert as the head of the Kadima party in September 2008, was unable to form a new government.
Voter participation though high in global comparison has steadily declined from a record high of 86.9 per cent in 1949 to 63.5 per cent in 2006.

Seedlings for you part 2

These next 2 are sisters...Hehehe!!
More to come!
ngraham, this is the first time for that one to bloom. Her sibling bloomed last year. I was excited when I saw her first bloom. I can't wait until the second come to see what changes there is..
Kay, I really like that one too. I like the green to lime throat and the slight re-curve..
Debra, she has a slight pinkish blush so I am waiting to see if she will show more pink next bloom..
Thank you all...Ellie
Yep, Linda. I'm not crossing so many this year and trying to be more selective.
Marg, the last 2 are my picks. The last one bloomed last year and I fell for it. The second to last hasd it's first bloom this year and I really tumbled. They are siblings. What are chances of getting 2 that I really like from the same pod..
Thank you Rita. Ellie
remontant, I surly do have a variety.. Hahaha!! If it's pretty and a good doer, I'll try a cross. It's very exciting to go out and see blooms that no one else has.
I'm not surprised Val, I really like that one. The bloom is 5.75" and the height is 29" to date. A thick texture to the bloom..I like that!!
Thanx folks...Ellie

I worked at The LaSalle Network full-time (more than 3 years)
LaSalle was a really cool company--everyone who works there genuinely seemed to LIKE what they do, and really like who they worked with! There were so many positive celebrations, awards, recognitions of employees doing well...they know how to motivate and they actually cared about me as a person, not just as an employee.
I've worked at another company and it was quite the opposite, culture wise. People didn't know their co-workers names, there was no recognition...it was just 8-5, clock in and clock out.
LaSalle is a place where if you put in the effort, you receive results (money, promotions etc.) and I think that's a pretty rare thing these days.
I left because I wanted to get out of recruiting, and more into the HR field. LaSalle helped me find a job!! An employer who helps you find a job when you tell them you are looking to leave for different opportunities? Does that happen!? Because it did to me. I'm very grateful for that...it was a very amicable departure.
There is no match for 401k.
Keep doing what you're doing--motivating people by acknowledging when someone is working hard, trying to improve etc. Don't get too big where you forget how important that is..it works!

I have been working at The LaSalle Network full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
Energetic and enthusiastic company culture. Constant support from direct leadership and management, including an extremely involved CEO. Hands on experience with guidance but room to be independent and the autonomy to make your own decisions to be the best you can be. Work/life integration, LaSalle Network welcomes you like family and gets to know your family and life interests outside of work. LaSalle Network also throws some of the best company parties in the city of Chicago! Competitive compensation, you are rewarded for your work and ability to produce. Internal promotion and growth, I have been promoted and encouraged to take on new challenges and new opportunities.Cons
The only con would be for those employees who do not want to work hard and for those who prefer to be average. You have to work hard to be good at your job at LaSalle Network and to make it because the entire company is made up of employees who are extremely motivated.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Higher up managers should do reviews of the lowest level managers by speaking with those on their team for real feedback. General team employees may have ideas or suggestions that are team-specific or manager specific that they may feel uncomfortable speaking with their direct manager about. Those at the 'top' should not lose their communication with those at the 'bottom'. It also helps improve the 'middle'.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

Taught Abroad is the one-man recording project of Chris Sadek, a Chicago singer, musician and producer.
Software Giant
oh my god keyboardist Iguana started Software Giant with bassist Zach Verdoorn (formerly of The Kickback), singer Dylan Rice and drummer Matthew Torre (formerly of Michigan band Future Genies). Imagine Morrissey singing for Joy Division, with Les Claypool on bass and Kraftwerk adding synths.
KSRA is the pet project of Rachel Sarah Thomas. A classically trained vocalist from the age of 5, Thomas was geared to become an opera singer. While studying vocal performance at the University of Michigan Thomas was asked to sing on several electronic projects from other students in the school. She fell in love with the medium, left the classical world and began to explore. During this time Thomas was experimenting with recording herself and developed her signature style. Using nothing but her voice and household objects like paper plates and towel racks, she'd compose 50 track pieces in a few hours featuring teeth chatter, grunts, and lush vocal scenes.
After college she became a jazz singer and lead singer and keyboard player for psychedelic rock band Automata. K. Serra is her most recent and personal project.
For her first single REVIVAL, Thomas began multi tracking to tape, playing every single instrument on her first studio single herself - with the exception of bass and trumpet. Her debut single, REVIVAL, was written for this project on a friends challenge to write a song in a pentatonic scale (not sure if she did it right, but she really liked the

black spots on my bambusa multiplex(m)
both Alphonse Karr and my stripestem fernleaf have this icky black stuff, looks like it is on the culm where it joins with the branch and leaves.
My bambusa malingensis doesn't have ANY ,so it must be something plaguing my bambusa multiplex. Any advice how to treat this?
I was thinking of bringing one of the Alphonse Karr into my house but not with this on it!
Help! Thanks. teeka
It's likely caused by aphids which secrete a sticky, sugary substance (that ants love). This secretion can also contribute to the growth of sooty mold, which is probably what you are seeing. Hose everything off and apply something to zap the aphids. You may not be easily able to dissolve the gunk on the plant without physically rubbing and rinsing the spots. It's unsightly, but not too serious.

Early fireworks, hype fade into reality for Grizzlies
The Grizzlies started the 2009-10 season on fire before flaming out.
As part of an elaborate pregame performance that featured Three 6 Mafia ... and "American Idol" finalist Lil Rounds ... and the dance troupe JabbaWockeeZ, pyrotechnics exploded behind both backboards. Big blasts that shook the building.
Management spent much of the offseason working to add some sizzle, acquiring high-profile free agents Zach Randolph and Allen Iverson, and then showcasing the new-look Grizzlies at a series of open preseason practices across the city.
And at FedExForum on Wednesday, the hope was to capitalize on all that good feeling and excitement. But an evening that started with fireworks ended with a fizzle, a 96-74 loss to the Detroit Pistons making clear that the Grizzlies are a new team with familiar problems.
Pistons teammates Richard Hamilton and Ben Gordon, unimpressed by the pregame hoopla, combined to score 47 points before 17,212, who watched the Grizzlies shoot badly and defend even worse. It was a tough start for a team that is, without question, a work in progress.
After playing their final preseason game against Charlotte on Friday, coach Lionel Hollins could sense that his players were transitioning to the next stage. At practice, he said, they were more focused. And during a quiet moment about an hour before Wednesday's opener, Hollins offered up an analogy.
"It's like when you take a race horse to a barn, and he's never been in there," Hollins said. "He knows something's going on that's different. Our players are the same way. But I think you have to stay composed and keep focused on the task at hand, versus getting caught up in the hype."
A few feet away, rookie forward DeMarre Carroll sat at his locker and prepared himself for his first NBA game.
"Very special time," he said. "I'm glad it's here, and hopefully we can have an enjoyable opening night -- and a memorable one."
Mike Anderson, Carroll's uncle and his college coach at Missouri, mingled with the Grizzlies staff near the bench before warm-ups. He was part of an eight-person caravan -- "DeMarre's Missouri family," as he called it -- that made the drive from Columbia, Mo.
"He has a chance to take that next step," Anderson said. "What most guys dream of, he's actually getting a chance to realize it here."
The team took the court exactly 14 minutes, 22 seconds before the tip as Rick Trotter, the team's public address announcer, leaned into his microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, YOUR Memphis Grizzlies!" The crowd cheered because there was much to cheer about. The season was unblemished, for at least another three hours. And fans seemed excited about seeing the team's new players -- or at least most of them.
Allen Iverson, sidelined since the first week of training camp with a strained hamstring, was out of the lineup, though he appears to be nearing a return. He sat at the end of the bench wearing a shiny gray blazer.
"I like the move to bring Iverson in," said Joey Morris, a 32-year-old FedEx employee who took advantage of a 70 percent discount on tickets through Grizzlies.com. "Pau Gasol was your first superstar, and you let him go and didn't get anything back, in my opinion. So he's the first move where they tried to get the fans a superstar. And I do believe O.J. Mayo is going to be a superstar. He's no LeBron James, but in a couple of years ..."
In a couple of years, who knows? The mandate from most fans seems to be win now. They have been patient long enough. Even Morris said he would disappointed if the team were the finish the season with a losing record, again. And a trip to the playoffs sure would be nice.
"I think they got a shot at a 44-win season," he said before the game.
No. 1 will have to wait until Friday.

Diagnosing Vibrating Pipes after Flushing Toilets
Hi all - I've been trying to diagnose for over a week now an issue with vibrating pipes while a toilet re-fills after a flush. The vibration doesn't last the entire time the toilet is filling - starts a couple seconds into it, and stops a few seconds before the tank is full.
We have a total of four toilets around the house, and all four cause post-flush :-) vibration to some degree. Our water is supplied by the city, if that matters. The house is about 6 years old, and the toilets and plumbing are all original.
- I've read that these things are usually caused by a failing ballcock, so I've actually replaced the ballcocks in two of the four toilets with Fluidmaster ones, but still have the problem.
- Instead of replacing the ballcocks in the other two toilets, I shut-off the their respective water supply valves to see if the problem went away. It didn't. QUESTION: Was this a valid test, and can I eliminate the ballcocks in those two toilets as the culprit?
- Assuming I eliminate all four toilets as problematic (by either replacing their ballcocks, or shutting off their water supply valves), can there be something else that could be causing this? Could it be a leaky faucet? I don't have any that I've noticed. Could it basically be anything that's attached to the cold water plumbing (water heater?, dishwasher?), even though they are not currently taking any water?
I'd very much appreciate any other pointers in diagnosing the problem. Unfortunately, since the vibrations only last for a few seconds, it's tough to do a series of tests while the vibrations are happening.

Her two most popular franchises, which have also been adapted for television, are ''Literature/MaxAndRuby'' and ''WesternAnimation/TimothyGoesToSchool''. Some other popular titles by her include the ''Bunny Planet'' books, the ''Edward the Unready'' series (later rereleased as eBooks under the banner "Edward Almost Ready"), the ''[=McDuff=]'' series and ''Emily's First 100 Days of Kindergarten''. Her nonfiction titles have included ''Help Children Cope with Divorce'' and ''Getting to Know You: Rodgers and Hammerstein Favorites''. Some of her works titled at older audiences include ''Mary on Horseback'' and ''The Miraculous Tale of the Two Maries''. In all, she has written well over 100 titles. Her newest series, about a group of young alligators, is called ''Kindergators''.Her very first title, published in 1972, was ''Unfortunately Harriet''. It is currently out of print. Her second title, published a year later, was the much more well-known ''Noisy Nora'', which remains in print to this day, with Nora becoming one of the characters on the ''Timothy Goes to School'' television series.She was also involved in the production of the ''Max & Ruby'' and ''Timothy'' television series.!Tropes often featured in Wells's works include:* AnAesop: Though not always* AnimatedAdaptation: Those that haven't been made into television series have often been adapted as read aloud storybooks for home video, sometimes with animation.* CarnivoreConfusion: The picture book ''First Tomato'' from the ''Bunny Planet'' series describes a group of bunny-people children being served bologna sandwiches, which greatly depresses the main character, as this is her least favorite lunch. Another character in the same series has to suffer through a dinner of cold liver chili.* EveryEpisodeEnding: Every installment of the ''Voyage to the Bunny Planet'' books ends with the star character observing the Bunny Planet in the night sky and marveling "It was there all along!"* FantasticRacism: Used in ''Yoko'', in which the titular character, a Japanese kitten, is ostracized for eating sushi at lunch. * FunnyAnimal or TalkingAnimal* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal* InvisibleParents* MouseWorld: Often with rabbits* RascallyRabbit* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Pleasantly averted in her ''Kindergators'' series, which actually features anthropomorphic alligators. Some of the children behave badly at times, but this only because they are young and still learning; none of them are actually truly mean or nasty.* SliceOfLife

HAVE: Lots of plants, 91504, local pickup preferred
I need to dramatically slim down my garden in the next few months. Anyone nearby want to inherit the following container plants:
Avocado trees
Calla lily
Various haworthias, crassula "Burgundy" and other succulents
Crabapple trees
Tomato plant "Better Boy"
Various pepper plants
Lots of variegated spider plants
Ornamental ginger "White Butterfly"
I also have about 50 6 inch pots, lots of other size pots and LOTS of "Dry Stall" brand pumice that I've been using to prevent compaction in the container plants.
I've already packed or mailed out about 5 other boxes of individual plants so I will strongly prefer the local pickup over the one offering postage.
I just joined and saw your post. I just moved from Oregon and had to leave a lot of my plants behind, because I didn't have enough room to bring them all.I would love to give some of your plants a new home. I love perrenials and also have a few cactus and succulents. I'm just curious to find out if you have any left,and if so where do you live.

There is no stage in your life where you do not want to debutante dresses and look great. When you look nice, it tells the world that you care about yourself. You also indicate that you care about others because you want to be pleasing to look at and be around. For easy fashion tips and advice, keep reading.
Fashions are constantly changing, so look for some basic items of clothing that you can add to and create a new look. A great fitting pair of black pants are the basic look you can dress up or dress down, as well as wear in summer or during the winter months.
Read fashion magazines at least once a month. If you want to stay up to date on what is hot and what is not you need to do your research. Fashion magazines will keep you informed through each season and as trends develop. If you feel that you ate still missing out there are television shows dedicated to fashion as well.
Keep your haircut low maintenance. Everyone runs into time crunches when preparing for meetings, outings or other events, and having an easy to fix hairstyle cuts the time needed to get ready. Many fashionable hairstyles are available that will allow you to bounce quick and still maintain a great look.
Don't fall for a fashion trend if it doesn't fit your frame well. Everyone may be wearing the newest fashion fad, and you'll be tempted to follow suit. But if the newest style is not complementary to your physical frame, you will only be doing yourself a fashion disservice.
One easy fashion tip is to just be more confident. No matter how good your clothes look, you will not truly look fashionable unless you wear your clothes with confidence. You need to carry yourself with the utmost confidence. This is one simple way that you can take your fashion to the next level.
Add color to your hair if you want to have a vibrant look during the summer. Keeping your hair healthy prevents your color from fading, however. Use conditioner and clean your hair every day for the best look.
The foundation is important to any ensemble. Choosing a bra that is exactly your size can give you a defined silhouette. Your look will be smoother and tighter with underwear that provide the proper support. Shop around for various undergarments that can improve your curves and improve your appeal.
Do not count on Hollywood to guide you in the right direction when it comes to fashion style. Due to competitive fashion, there are many mistakes made in an attempt to attract attention. So it to look to those around you for fashion tips so you do not stand too far out from the crowd.
When you make an effort to look and dress great debutante dresses, people notice. They know you care about yourself, and they appreciate that you do not hurt their eyes. Now that you have read this article, you should have a mind full of easy ideas on how to look absolutely awesome!"

Journey Into the Imagination With Figment
Track Ride
Published: February 15, 2015
Journey Into the Imagination with Figment is the third incarnation of this dark ride. Using the same Imagination Institute theme from the pavilion's old Honey, I Shrunk the Audience 3D movie (now replaced by the return of Captain EO), this attraction takes you on a tour of the fictitious lab's inner workings. Dr. Nigel Channing (played by Eric Idle) is your host for a trip through the lab, which demonstrates how your five senses stimulate your imagination. This version of the show returns the popular purple dragon, Figment, who starred in the original 1983 Journey Into Imagination show, only to be removed from the second version, which played from 1999-2001 and might have been the worst-reviewed Disney attraction in the company's history.Tweet
After reading a lot of criticism from many people, my expectations were low. But upon riding I found it to be a fun, bright, and musical journey. After learning about sound, smell, and sight, I found out that this ride is for younger kids. The ride system with it's rotating seats were fun, and the stimuli and attention to detail around the room made it fun to use sight, as we learned there. Later we went to figment's house and learned about the power of imagination. It was fun, but it did not have as much Magic as I hoped. It was a good ride, but not something to praise. 7.5/10
I do it mostly at this point purely for the nostalgia. Still pouring one out for the Dreamfinder. 5/10
Despite all the naysayers out there, I have to confess that I find the Figment ride to be particularly delectable. Does it have the heart-stopping thrills of some of Epcot's other attractions? Well of course not. But there is no better interlude between a couple rougher rides than a gentle excursion into the dazzling and elegant world of imagination. Oh, the grandeur! And the song, by Zeus it is incredible! It's thought-provoking lyricism and Rolling Stones-esque buildup make it an absolute masterpiece. 10/10
What the heck? Haha. I do not understand this thing at all. Completely lame, not based on anything actually Disney (or maybe I have just not heard of it cause it was so bad). I do however, recommend it as a must ride. Simply so you can wonder why it is there yourself. It was a highlight of the trip honestly just because it gave us so much to talk about. (2/10)
One of the only rides I find myself regularly seeking out at Epcot. Never been a huge Epcot fan, but for some reason, the catchy little tune on this one has me coming back each time I visit.
It's okay and definitely superior to the second incarnation. That ride was terrible. However the original Journey Into Imagination was Epcot's greatest treasure. The Journey Into Imagination Pavilion was once the best in Future World, but it was destroyed in the mid-90s with the removal of the original ride and the closing of the original ImageWorks. That said, I have heard there is some talk inside WDW of rebuilding the original and modifying it to work properly. It would be WONDERFUL if a new generation could experience the wonder of having Dreamfinder and Figment take them on a journey into imagination. The original is STILL my favorite Disney attraction of all time.

This is a great round-up. Many of these are things that would be at least minor annoyances – if not major headaches on your first visit to Paris. Hopefully you've just helped a bunch of people have a far more enjoyable Parisian trip as a result of this "insider" knowledge.
Visiting Paris for the first time: 8 rookie mistakes to avoid
Let's face it, being a first-time visitor in Paris isn't easy. Travelers have to deal with everything from jet lag and language barriers, to a new currency and figuring out the public transit system. Some of us save up our whole lives to visit the City of Light, so pricey mistakes aren't something we want to keep as souvenirs.
While a few faux-pas here or there won't ruin your experience, there are a few common mistakes to look out for that will make your first days a little smoother. Avoid these in order to keep within your budget and to save time to get the most out of your trip.
1. Paying for water
Waiters will prey on innocent tourists who may be wondering if the tap water in Paris is drinkable. The days of the plague are mostly over, so don't fear—French tap water is just fine. Don't feel pressured into buying pricey bottled water unless you want sparkling or mineral varieties. Just ask for a carafe d'eau, and spend the euros on an extra dessert instead.
2. Booking too many passes
Armed with a museum pass and a metro pass, you can avoid some lines and having to worry about purchasing tickets. But there will always be that pressure to use the passes. What if it's a nice day and you want to walk, but you haven't used the pass yet? What if you want to linger more in the gardens but you need to use the museum pass before it expires? If you want the security of the passes, just be sure to plan your route to make sure you don't lose out in the end.
3. Going to Versailles
Is it a mistake to go to Versailles? No. But with only a few precious days in Paris, is it necessary for a first-time visit? We'll let you decide. If you're going in the spring or summer, however, be prepared to surrender several hours of your vacation time to waiting in line at the majestic chateau before fighting crowds inside to catch a glimpse of Marie Antoinette's bed. If you're on the fence, don't feel bad about skipping the trek out there, or even opting for a lesser-visited chateau like Chantilly.
4. Tipping when you don't have to
With taxi drivers, hair dressers and tour guides, don't feel bad about tipping. With anyone else, there is absolutely no need to, unless the service went above and beyond the norm. Just round the bill up and leave the change. Paris tipping rules are as simple as that.
5. Eating breakfast in the hotel
There's no need to dig deep into your pockets for a bit of breakfast. Head to a café for a coffee and croissant under €5 euros or just get an assortment to go from your local bakery and leave the breakfast buffet for when all the bakers are on strike. Yes, it has happened before.
6. Not staying central to save a few euros
That cheap hotel out by Disneyland seems great, because it's just so gosh-darn cheap. But the commute into Paris isn't much different from those who come from London (I exaggerate…kind of). We love cheap hotels, too, and that's why we push our favorites in the heart of the city—because you didn't fly all the way to Paris to spend hours on a train, did you?
7. Being a slave to lines
Queue up in Paris—we all need to at some point. While you're at the Eiffel Tower, I'm at the grocery store, and the lines are often comparable. But pick your battles. Lines at the Louvre are shorter on Wednesday and Friday nights, and the same goes for the Musée d'Orsay on Thursday evenings, while the Eiffel Tower is always pretty busy. Plan ahead so that if you have no bookings or pre-purchased tickets, you won't hit all of the lines at all the wrong times.
8. Trying to do it all
You planned and planned, you thought you could do it all, but alas. It's just impossible. Paris will be here for quite some time, so if you didn't get to every major sight, there's always tomorrow. The Mona Lisa isn't going anywhere (hopefully), and the Eiffel Tower should still be standing, so try to enjoy what you do experience and make the to-do list for round two.

Great tips for newbies and reminder for those who re-visit Paris!↓
Bonjour. Great travel tips. Will be sharing with my readers this weekend. I particularly agree with #6. When traveling, or when buying a home, think location, location, location! As as side note, just saw Tom's photo in Italy on the Rick Steves' blog. Looked like a good time. Keep up the good work, les amis. A bientôt. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)↓
Go to chateau Vaux le Vicomte, a mini version of Versailles and the original to boot. Just 20 minutes to Melun from Gare de Lyon. Be sure to time your weekend visit to meet the chateau's shuttle bus. lines are minimal and the gardens are just as phenomenal as Versailles and by the same landscape artist, LeNotre. The chateau is by Le Vaux same as Versailles.↓
I visited Paris for the first time, arriving on May 8th for 5 days. I prepared myself by reading your tips first! Thanks so much! I didn't try to see everything, the pain in my feet (tennis shoes and all) kept me from it, lol. Even then, I saw so much and have over 650 photos for memories everlasting!↓
I never thought that going to Versailles was one of them. but you actually make a lot of sense.↓
Thanks. We strive for making sense, if nothing else↓
I want to add one thing to the "Don't eat b'fast in the hotel" — The whole b'fast area will be full of tourists. But if you go out into the City you'll be surrounded by Parisians, N. American tourists and European tourists. During my last trip to Paris I found first a nice place in Rue Cler and kept going back (the waiter even corrected my Fr. grammar) but then forced myself to leave and find other places. Breakfast turned out to be my favorite part of the day.
And about those museum passes: Have lunch at the Louvre or Orsay — good food, good service and wonderful ambiance.
And it really does need to be repeated: No white sneakers.↓

Blowing my nose all day...silly question...
Why?...I guess I've been blowing my nose often for at least a year...but I don't know why. I don't have an allergy?...I don't have a runny nose, just feels full often... I don't have watery eyes, no other symptoms of sinus, if it is sinus, no headaches at all and no colds. No fever. Doesn't matter the season.I am a chain-smoker...I cough, then usually have to blow my nose.
(No, haven't seen a doctor)...Could there be a connection, somehow, to cigarettes and my having to blow my nose?...
(Never heard of it)
It's annoying, but other than that, I feel fine.
Of course I would encourage you to stop smoking.
But have you ever tried a saline nasal rinse? I make my own, since I hate tasting the preservatives in the otc ones.
Mix 1 cup boiled, cooled water with 1/4 tsp baking soda and 1/4 tsp salt (without additives). I actually use the spray bottle from the otc stuff, since its easy to use.
Try spraying your nostrils 4-5 times a day, and see if it feels better.
Change the solution every week or so, but clean out the bottle with a little bleach water. Good luck.

If you are staying in the city a couple of days, I would advice you to go to Snezhinka (Снежинка - in Russian)! it is a pretty nice snow sports complex where you can do "mountain skiing" - there no actual mountains there, but it can get pretty speedy on the hills ) Also you can snowboarding and a lot of other nice activities there.Related to:

Caleb is back! And for his first trick, he gets Hanna's estranged father to admit that Ashley Marin returned to Rosewood in the middle of her epic NYC trip -- but according to him, it was just for a lasagna loan. "You're still on the edges of this," he warns Caleb, but of course Caleb is working to a completely different tapestry anyway, so it doesn't matter. Meanwhile Hanna tones down the 'tude a smidge and ends up finding Holbrook's giant Wall of Clues for all of the different murders and mysteries and stuff. I'm sure it's full of hilarious and wacky details, but I'm equally sure the internet has my back on that so I don't need to do it myself. In the end, Ashley's acting cagier than ever, but they are at least able to take their snarky bitching down to a level of more silent, sad paranoia.
Spencer takes Toby on a tour of Radley so he can see all the awesome spots like where his mother topped herself and where Spencer found personal identification inside a horse in a room full of cribs and giant dolls, but he immediately decides that the whole thing was stupid and that he returned to the A-Team for no reason because he is a stupidhead. Luckily, Spencer is there to analyze the trajectory of her boyfriend's mother's body -- as she was committing suicide by jumping out a mental institution window -- and determines that actually, unless Marion Cavanaugh was (both really bad and) really good at parkour, she did not in fact kill herself and thus, betraying everyone for A is still sometimes a very cool thing to do.
Ella's coffeeshop-owning boyfriend asks her to come with him to Vienna, where it's just coffee and sausages all the time, and even though those are her two favorite things besides her kids, she can't leave. After Aria sees A taking down everybody's mom over the course of the episode, she decides to send Ella off to Austria after all. Good for Ella, very sad for Aria, unacceptable for Jacob. Unacceptable for Rosewood. Without Ella around to keep everybody in line, that place is going into the shitter. I promise you.
The part where she considers the fact that sending Ella away is safer for her mom, but very sad for her, is one of the most uncomplicatedly sad things that Aria's ever given us, and it was very moving. On the upside, we get to see how Karate Jake deals with 3-5 of Aria's least-appealing personality quirks, and he passes with flying colors. Even Aria's amazed how uninterested he is in her bullshit. It's charming. They make each other seem really great. I hope they stay together forever and ever, lol.
Emily's not out of the woods yet, by the way. A took advantage of Pam's understandable meltdown over last week's oxycontin abuse and called Family Services, so now Army Dad is moving back home again and maybe Pam is going to jail for everything that A ever did to Emily? That would suck. Pam tries harder than any person. (Besides Aria.) But maybe this was just to fit in with the "A dicks with your moms" storyline and won't go too far. I mean, she's only been back on the show for about a minute.
The Liars find a mask in Ali's crap and then inside the mask they find another mask and they take this mask to the maskmaker, across Torch Lake, and his main deal is that he has an amazing face that I couldn't stop looking at. And in turn, he finds Emily's face hard to not look at, and eventually makes a mask of her face. So while he is making a mask of Emily's face, Hanna finds a mask of Melissa's face, but it's not inside any other masks. It's just normal.
Melissa is back in town, throwin' her personal brand of chill over all the proceedings, as though she were wearing a mask of her own face, to do three things: One, warn Spencer to get out of Rosewood if she knows what's good for her, Two, throw more wrenches into the Wilden/B-Team/NAT Club connection, and Three, pose a very interesting question at episode's end. Namely, if Spencer knew what she was asking when she wondered if Melissa would pick Ian over her, it's equally safe to say that Melissa knows Spencer would choose practically anybody (Toby, Liars) over her. And don't lie, so would you.
So it's less a matter of mutually assured destruction, and more like they are in a situation that has nothing to do with love or their occasional warmth toward each other -- and everything to do with The Big Sleep, which is the movie Aria and Jake attempt to enjoy at the episode's beginning, and is all about two sisters and which one of them is really the trainwreck.
At first you think it's the party girl, but then later you start to think maybe it's the older sister, because she seems to be in pretty deep with all the gangsters and crumbums they're dealing with looking for the party-sister: She consorts with shadows, on purpose. In a show full of victims but just as full of people who make deals with their eyes open, it's a big thing to think about. Also, that movie is amazing, it was the first black and white movie I ever loved, and Lash Canino still shows up in my nightmares occasionally.
Next Week: Spencer fixates on Melissa, Aria lets A sabotage her relationship, the Family Services saga of Emily gets underway, Holbrook's partner comes to town, and Hanna continues to act super sketch about the Ashley situation.
Toby gave A back her Lair for a folder of possible evidence on his mother's last days at Radley. A parrot was introduced and then vanished again, leaving only a mysterious phone number. Mona got choked out by A, leading Emily to abuse prescription drugs and Aria to hook up with a hot martial arts instructor. PA state police were called in to figure out why the Liars keep killing the cops of Rosewood, and Hanna is obsessed with the idea that her mom is to blame.
Hanna: "My mother is not connected to the disappearing parrot..."
Liars: "But what we do know is that the bird is connected to Ali, who's connected to Wilden, who's connected to your mom. And to us, and to other stuff we don't know about."
A: "That reminds me of a song about bones I will listen to later. Shazam that shit."
Hanna: "So my mom ran Wilden over, so what? Sometimes you run over people. I've been involved in over eleven counts of vehicular manslaughter. It doesn't mean anything in the long run."
Liars: "Emily, have you recovered from your injury, your destroyed future, and your drug problem?"
Emily: "Mostly. I'm building up quite the tolerance, between getting roofied over and over and poisoned through pain cream and carbon monoxide poisoning."
Emily has been back to see Jessica DiLaurentis and pick up bird supplies for a bird that is no longer with us, plus a bunch of junk, all to cover for the fact that Alison had a weird predilection for writing important clues in the margins of her homework and other people's Biology textbooks and neverending-story journals with boundless empty pages in which janitors and hyperadrenalized ninjas can sketch out their latest plans and dreams and dress patterns.
Aria: "My mom's pretty happy with her barista boyfriend. I remember Ezra Fitz."
Liars: "How is your actual new boyfriend, Karate Jake?"
Aria: "He's fine, but it all feels so healthy and low-effort. I feel like we're doing something wrong that I am not feeling constantly endangered. You start to get off on it."
Liars: "I just like the convenience of everybody being here at this one coffee shop in the middle of the day."
Ella: "Oh, Barista boyfriend, that's so wonderful that you've been invited to a castle on a lake outside of Vienna to make pastries. Literally that is what is going on."
Guy: "Would you like to come with me for just under a year? We can enjoy this experience with the other four Americans who were chosen to make pastries in a castle."

Alan was polite and professional guest. I would recomend Alan to other AirBnb hosts.
Alan was a fantastic guest and incredibly interesting person. We only chatted for a little bit, but he was very personable and genuinely nice person, and I would love to hear more about his work and travels.
He was only with us for one night, but he was an ideal guest, quiet, respectful and self sufficient. Upon checkout he left the apartment spotless, which is always appreciated! We would happily host Alan again anytime, and we recommend him highly to all of the other hosts out there.
Thanks guys. It was great staying at your place. You must come to Africa. And would love to help you get there. I will send you an invite to the DC travel show which you must come to. I look forward to staying with you again.
Alan and his wife where thee best guests ever... always welcome back!
