New York City, March 30, 2015
★★ Clouds that had seemed to be lightening and separating condensed instead into a darkish gray mass with a strong wind blowing under it, and still no leaves to break it. The school dropoff was late enough and cold enough to discourage the commute. Through the windows by the couch, the brightness arrived at last, till for a while clouds were thin and white, spread out against the blue. Then solid-looking puffs of cumulus arrived, and began clumping and darkening. The afternoon wind had not changed its essential character from the morning, but in the light—and before the vicinity of the river—it could be taken as invigorating. The children were inspired to run in it. "The sky looks like paint, Dad!" the three-year-old announced in the later afternoon, looking out at new formations of blue and white. "The clouds!" The sun, when it lowered, executed at least a double bank shot to blaze from the northeast corner of the apartment towers. Now the clouds were purple, edged with rose gold, and then plain purple, against a lemon sky.
Promise Kept
According to websites, a
much larger website is
no longer paying as much attention to them:
A staff member at one major UK publisher described the [reduction] in engagement as a 'Faceboocalypse', and said that his team had noticed "a change to news feed algorithm which drastically reduced the reach of many news sites' posts". The Huffington Post also acknowledged that they had seen a fall-off in Facebook engagement in recent weeks.
NewsWhip's data team noticed the reduction when analysing data for the biggest Facebook sites of February 2015. A wide range of top publishers, including BuzzFeed, the New York Times, Fox News and more seem to have been affected.
The 100 most shared English language stories (which include quizzes and other viral content) on Facebook in February had just over 10.2 million combined engagements, compared to over 16.4 million for the same set in January.
This report from NewsWhip suggests that the consequences of Facebook favoring posts that don't link readers away from Facebook (it's sort of obvious when you say it like that!) are already being felt.
NewsWhip's monthly rankings of most-shared sites used to be a little more exciting and surreal—early last year, a Viral Nova or an Independent Journal Review would just materialize out of nowhere, displacing, say, a USA Today. They have remained, month to month, reliably valuable for understanding what seems to be going on in the fetid content trenches (Contrenches). It is good to know, for example/I guess, that the top external site on Facebook is a publication composed almost entirely of quizzes. Anyway, something weird started happening late last year.
Meet the Awl Newsletter
For all of their remarkable qualities, newsletters can be very boring, because they are, by definition, rote enterprises. They change so little. This is why the current Awl management has largely forsaken them in favor of the dynamic world of Periscopekatting. But then there is Laura Olin's Everything Changes. It changes a lot. Weekly, even. The format, the concept, the tone, the frequency—everything changes. But constant mutation is just one of the many reasons we love Laura's newsletter: It's slightly weird, super sharp, comfortably personal, not a little amusing, and, perhaps most important of all, it's very brief, and never boring. These are all qualities that line up extraordinarily well with the Awl's editorial vision.
So, after a brief conversation with Laura, Everything Changes will now be delivered under (over?) the Awl banner. The first one goes out tomorrow(ish). Sign up! We think that you'll like it a lot.
Blood and Guts in Emails
A few weeks ago, Emma got in touch with me to say that she wanted to write about the new Semiotext(e) book I'm Very Into You but she wasn't entirely sure what she wanted to say. At the time, I had just finished reading the book for the second time and had four different Word documents open, each with their own failed attempt to write even just a small thing about I'm Very Into You, about the way Kathy Acker and McKenzie Wark had almost accidentally written the entire story of their relationship through email, saying almost nothing about what transpired between them but almost everything else: television, books, magazines, travel, motorcycles, distance, space, work, sex.
We decided that instead of staying locked inside our own heads we would try to write to each other about why this very small book was something we couldn't stop thinking about. Weirdly, in the process we found ourselves somewhat unconsciously mimicking the trajectory of Acker and Wark's correspondence, something that probably says more about email as a medium than it does about either relationship. Emma and I accidentally bumped into each other halfway through this process and while we were standing in our mutual friend's kitchen, surrounded by other people having their own conversations, she called it the "Universal Grammar of the Romantic Email." I think that sums it up perfectly. Below are our emails.
March 18, 2015
from: Haley Mlotek
to: Emma Healey
Emma: hi!! I was so happy to get your email last night, because first I was away and you've been away and we keep missing each other, and I've really wanted to talk to you for awhile about a lot of different things. And when we realized we were reading the same book and we were both trying to write about it and were both struggling with what we wanted to say I thought that this was the perfect time for us to talk about, I guess, all of the above.
For context: the book I'm referring to is I'm Very Into You, a collection of email correspondence between Kathy Acker and McKenzie Wark from 1995 to 1996. They met and hooked up when Kathy was in Australia and then emailed each other frequently, eventually spending another weekend together in New York, before the communications faded.
I read this book in, like, a minute; and then I went back and I read it again, and I'm kind of on my third re-read now, although I'm really just going back to Matias Venieger's intro and certain select passages, thinking a lot about how much I enjoy the book and how hypocritical I am for said enjoyment.
How do you feel about reading the emails and journals of deceased writers? I'm fairly evenly split when I consider the concept objectively—I'd say 49% guilty, 51% put it in my eyes immediately I need to know all the secrets—but I know I'm a hypocrite because I already have a standing deal with multiple people to burn my laptop and all my notebooks should I ever die, heavy emphasis on "should." I have sought out all my most trustworthy friends and husbands and had them swear to me that they would never, ever publish my emails, journals, or heaven forbid, my tweets; future generations have done nothing to deserve that garbage.
I am, probably for the exact same reasons, so drawn to books and collections that do what I'm most afraid of: share writing that was never supposed to be shared.
Tax Season Anxiety: I'm Secretly Rich
For as long as I've been required to file, I've been lying about my taxes.
Before anyone sics the IRS on me, let me clarify that I have not been lying on my tax returns: I am a law-abiding citizen with a deep-seated fear of the audit. But I have been lying to friends and colleagues—minor, reflexive lies summoned forth to hide the fact that I am a secretly wealthy 20-something.
During my childhood, an envelope of stock certificates with my name on it would appear under the tree every Christmas among the toys. My incredibly generous grandmother was slowly disbursing the stock that she had inherited from her mother to her 10 grandchildren while she was still alive—presumably for estate planning purposes. This pattern continued until she ran out in my late teens, at which point I had amassed a solid chunk. The resulting dividend income, which I dutifully deposited into my savings account four times per year, meant that I started filing a tax return before I could legally drive.
And then came my first tax-related lie: One day when I was a freshman in high school, my father made a passing comment about taxes in front of a friend of mine, who promptly asked me what on earth I was paying taxes on. I stammered an awkward reply about having done some part-time work for a relative last summer, and we moved on.
"When you're a kid, you think you'll be a certain place in your mid-30s. I presumed I'd be rich because when you're middle-class with hardworking immigrant parents that's the whole point. I also thought I'd be married and potentially own a beautiful apartment in New York. Ha ha. What you spend zero time wondering about is whether you'll still be doing drugs. You naturally assume you'll grow out of whatever stupidity you dabbled in as a teen. Even up to my 20s I didn't realize that job-having, non-fuckup grown-ups in their 30s and 40s still smoked weed. Or did ecstasy. But then I got older and got bored."#
Eat the Mango (No, Not That One)
The end of March is still a dead zone for produce here in the Northeast, but in Mexico and further south to Peru, one of the world's most diverse and most popular fruits, the mango, is beginning to enter one of its two seasons (the other is in early fall). Even though our neighbor to the south is one of the world's biggest producers of mangoes—and Florida grows a pretty respectable number and hosts what looks like a delightful festival focused on the fruit—the mango is underappreciated and underused in the United States. This should be a crime! We should all be arrested!
If you live in a place without a substantial Indian or Mexican population, there's a pretty fair chance the only mango you've ever seen is the Tommy Atkins: a large, red-green mango with a giant pit and a fibrous interior that gets stuck in your teeth. The Tommy Atkins is one of those accursed fruit varieties, like the Red Delicious apple, that is an insult to its brothers and should be banished from the planet. The Tommy Atkins is the worst possible example of the wonders of the mango: weak in flavor, egregious in texture, and popular exclusively because it is large, easy to grow, and tough enough to withstand transit.
The Tommy Atkins mango was created by Thomas Atkins in Broward County, Florida from a tree planted in 1922. Atkins was very pleased with his shit mango; he thought it would sell well because it is large and pretty and does not bruise easily. He was right, although it took awhile for the variety to catch on. Throughout the early nineteen fifties, Atkins kept trying to get the Florida Mango Forum to approve it; they did not, citing its subpar flavor and texture, but eventually the growers, rather than the tasters, won out. The Tommy Atkins today is by far the most common variety in the U.S., which is embarrassing as heck.
There are thousands of varieties of mangoes, ranging from giant grapefruit-sized mangoes to tiny plum-sized mangoes, dark purple mangoes to delicate golden mangoes, and flat oblong mangoes to nearly spherical mangoes. The textures range from so creamy you need to use a spoon to so crunchy you need to use a fork (or chopsticks), the flavors from crisp and vegetal to heavy and sweet. Most mango varieties do not travel well, unfortunately, and there's not much of a market in shipping some of the weirder ones all the way from, say, the south of India, where mangoes are as beloved as apples in New York. That said, if you live in a city, or in a place with a healthy representation of certain immigrant groups, there's a pretty good chance you can find a mango that'll totally change the way you think about them.

★★★ The thermometer on the glass of the kitchen door said 32 degrees when the seven-year-old got boosted up to read it. Shining ice lay in the junction where the tributary country road curved to meet the marginally larger stem road. More ice sat in the flooded parts of the stubbled fields, which were colorless as the leafless trees between them. The lump in the top of the three-year-old's hat contained his gloves; his hands, clutching their palm fronds, were cold. The daffodils in the bed alongside the stone church were drooping over. Back by the house–39 degrees now—squirrels dug through the seed hulls scattered below the bird feeders, in front of the bed of snowdrops. Nuthatches and titmice and chickadees came and went, and goldfinches the color of parchment. A Cooper's hawk, twitching balefully, commandeered a low branch for a minute, then flew off toward the garage with or without something clutched in one foot. The little birds resumed their feeding. The sun falling through the near-closed blinds made the water in the toilet shine like a lamp in the dimness. Forty-six degrees after lunch, at car-loading time. Everything in the drab length of New Jersey was sharp-drawn and distinct, save only the firm new roadway dissolving ahead into a mirage of sky and car paint. Vultures were as abundant as Turnpike exits, naked heads visible at 70 miles an hour, give or take. There was nothing remotely resembling a cloud; a light haze was salient by default. The bulge of the gibbous moon seemed to grow fatter as it came into focus. Trees and balconies gleamed in the city. The layer of dust on the unwashed apartment windows was coppery in the sunset.

Lawn sweeper vs. acorns?
I have a fairly heavily wooded property we bought a few years ago. I don't know if last season was a bad year for acorns, but I had quite a crop across the a good part of lawn that was evident during spring clean up this year.
Any experience out there with a pull behind sweeper for my GT picking up acorns? How well do they do at it? I could probably pick up a decent used one on CL for some fall and spring clean up, but if they don't work that well at acorns, probably not worth the purchase since I mulch in the summer and use my Cyclone Rake for leaves.
Also, any comments on brands? Agri-fab, Ohio-steel, Craftsman, etc. Thanks
the lawn sweeper will pick up acorns if you set the the brushes low enough without dragging the wheels most of the time. Your CR will also suck them up if you set the deck low enough. You can multch them. Agri-fab amd craftsman IMO are the same. Sears may call for different gear ratio's but all and all the exact same unit. I have both and Don't see much difference between the two. I like going over the acorns with my multch plug in and the deck set low. It multches them into the yard and nut blasts my deck clean all at the same time. After I go over my yard I see very few left unchopped. Guess it may depend on what type of grass you got and how low you can cut it.

What kind of HELP do you need? You need to be specific when asking questions here.
If all you do is post your entire assignment, nothing will happen since no one here will do your work for you. But if you are specific about what you don't understand about the assignment or exactly what help you need, someone might be able to assist you.
I need help with the interior and exterior plan of Chartres. The textbook makes its seem so complicated. I can't answer the question.
BTW, I didn't post the entire assignment just the two questions I had trouble with.
Check these sites.
There are several links in here, including one on YouTube, that may help. The fourth one looks promising, too. Read through and view several or all of these. Then you should be able to answer the first question. In addition, what's in your text? What have you done or seen in class? This is a very visual assignment.
For the second question, you'll need to make sure you have clear images of each place in your mind -- or clear pictures online or in your text. List things they have in common (those are for comparison); list things they don't have in common (those are for contrast).
Following is the lesson I give for people who have a comparison/contrast assignment:
Whenever you are writing a comparison/contrast paper (paragraph, essay, research paper), you need to plan it out very carefully on paper first.
Try this:
1. Write all the information about one of your topics on one page.
2. Write all the information about the other topic on another page.
3. Then put them together in this order:
1. Intro
2. All about topic A
~~~2A. detail 1
~~~2B. detail 2
~~~2C. detail 3
~~~2D. detail 4
~~~2E. detail 5
3. All about topic B
~~~3A. detail 1
~~~3B. detail 2
~~~3C. detail 3
~~~3D. detail 4
~~~3E. detail 5
4. Concl.
The number of details for each topic will vary depending on your main points. I would include comparisons (how they are similar) in the introduction and conclusion, but sections 2 and 3 and all those details will be stating and explaining how they are different.
There are two recognized patterns for writing comparison/contrast papers. One is casually referred to as "zig-zag," but can be very confusing for the reader if you don't use transitions effectively. The other is topic-by-topic (which is what I've outlined above) and is much easier for the reader to follow.
See http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/acadwrite/comparcontrast.html for further help with comparison/contrast writing.
Once you have organized your information, please repost if you'd like feedback from someone here.
Megan did you find the right answer for the Art History from August 5,2010. If you do can you share it with me? I have the same questions and it is kind of hard for me do to English is my second language. Thanks

dutch oven: stainless steel clad vs. enameled cast iron
I tried posting this last night, but something must have gone wrong.
Tramontina makes two very nice sets of tri-ply SS clad cookware. One set comes with an enameled cast iron Dutch oven and cast iron skillet, and the other comes with SS clad Dutch oven and skillets. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Does one have more versatility over the other? I hear about Dutch ovens for soups, stews, chili, and casseroles but we've been pretty happy with our crock pot for these kinds of things, so I'm not even sure what I would make in the Dutch oven. Any advice will be appreciated!
Cast iron is way superior for slow cooking over stainless, or a crock pot for that matter. Stainless just does not simmer in the flavor like cast iron does.In addition, cast iron heats evenly, and will hold the heat in once removed from the oven or stovetop. The enameled cast iron also makes superior all day simmered spaghetti sauce.
I tried some very expensive stainless Dutch Ovens, including All-Clad....and sent them back. Staub and Le Creuset make the best enameled cast iron, and Lodge makes the best "regular" cast iron. Stainless is O.K. for boiling pasta or for making stocks. Even so, many times I use one of my huge enameled cast iron pots to make stock in.
Stews and chili are just plain richer in taste when simmered in cast iron. Ditto for slow braised pot roast in the oven. I gave my crockpot away.
I can't speak to enameled cast iron Dutch oven versus clad stainless steel Dutch oven.
As for cast iron skillet versus clad stainless skillet, they would be ideal for different tasks.
Cast iron is a poor conductor of heat, but will hold (store) a lot of heat. When you put a cast iron pan on the burner, it will take a significant time to heat up and may have hot spots while it is heating. After a while (on my burner, 2-3 minutes), it will be evenly hot. When meat is placed in the pan, the pan will stay hot because it has so much stored heat. This makes cast iron great for searing and browning. After the cast iron pan gets seasoned with oil, it is also practically non-stick, if you wash it properly (no soap). However . . . cast iron pans do not change temperature quickly. If you cook something more delicate than a ribeye and it starts to scorch, turning down the heat won't quickly cool down the pan. Rapidly getting to a particular temperature is a bit tricky. They are heavy, so flipping and tossing is hard.
Clad stainless steel is almost the opposite. The aluminum inside is an excellent conductor of heat, but does not hold much heat. So the pan will heat up quickly on the burner, and cool quickly when you lower the flame, it is responsive. You can get the desired temperature - say, a medium-low heat - right away, and the pan will have an even temperature without bad hot spots. But when you put the cold meat on the pan, the pan cools down quickly, until the burner brings the heat back up. So it is not as good for heavy searing. Stainless steel is sticky, protein (meat, fish, egg) sticks immediately and stays stuck until it gets browned and releases. Even then, bits of crusty food are left on the pan. That is a good thing - it is ''fond'', the foundation of a pan sauce - but if you weren't planning to make a pan sauce it can be a pain. You can avoid stickage by using plenty of oil, of course. If you get a stainless pan really hot, food and oil will scorch onto it, making for a cleaning job.
Basically, you should have both, and use each for what it is best at. I use my cast iron pan at full-hot, for searing meat mostly. I use my clad stainless for more medium and low heat cooking, or at high heat if I want fond. If I could only have one, I'd get the clad stainless.
I disagree that cast iron "simmers in flavor" or makes for richer tasting foods vs. stainless steel dutch ovens or crock pots. It's a nice, romantic notion, but not really true. I have both, and foods taste the same. Nobody could tell if tonight's chili came from the stainless or the cast iron.
Here's a good discussion on the pros & cons of dutch ovens, cast iron & otherwise in the link below. Bottom line: the cast iron holds more heat when used on a stove top. Sometimes that's desirable, sometimes not.
Here is a link that might be useful: cast iron vs. stainless

Photo credit to: espn.com According to the Buffalo Bills official Twitter, the team has finally signed star free safety Jairus Byrd to his one year franchise tender. BREAKING: #Bills have signed FS Jairus Byrd to a one-year franchise tender — Buffalo Bills (@buffalobills) August 21, 2013 The Bills placed the franchise tag on Byrd earlier in the year. Throughout the offseason, Byrd and the team were in talks of a contract extension. Reports have it that Byrd wanted #1 money, where the Bills felt what they have offered was an acceptable amount. Last year Byrd had 5 interceptions and 53 solo tackles with 23 assists. He is a shut down player and has potential to be one of the leagues top safeties. Byrd has missed all of the Bills' training camp, mini camps and OTAs. Tomorrow is Buffalo's last practice at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, NY. Byrd will report to the team at 1 Bills drive in Buffalo on Thursday. We here at New York Sports-Kings will keep you updated on the Byrd situation and all other New York teams as stories break. Please follow us at NY_Sportskings or me personally at schantzman87. The post Breaking: Bills Sign FS Jairus Byrd to One-Year Franchise Tender appeared first on New York Sports Kings.

Noisy air unitPosted Nov 11, 2014 on Hotels.com
The room was okay the bed and sheets were older as is the hotel. The air unit ran no stop and was very loud had to turn it off when room finally got to a desirable temp. They did have subway breakfast sandwiches on the brightside.

Nice overnight stay hot shower and comfortable bedPosted Oct 20, 2014 on Hotels.com
Hotel service is hard to rate as I only interacted on checkin and checkout. Room clean and comfortable but noticed paint/plaster chipping and flaking in places but not enough to bother me, other than that the room looked modern and up to date with a fridge and a flatscreen.

The whole motel smelled like moth balls. It made my luggage smell the same way.

Room was clean. But the plug-in in bathroom didn't work.

Terrific value, highly recommendedPosted Mar 2, 2014 on Hotels.com
I arrived here about an hour before check-in time at 2 PM. I asked Jimmy, the gentleman at the front desk whom I believe may have been an owner but I didn't ask, if it was okay to check in early. He said it was fine. We chatted about the town and he recommended a restaurant to me. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to go, but he was really friendly and seemed knowledgeable. Before going to my room, I asked him if he happened to have a spare phone charger that I could use because I had forgotten mine at home. He did and told me that I could just leave it in the room when I left. I went to my room after this and I was extremely surprised at how clean and cozy the room was. I would certainly consider this a budget hotel, but it looked and felt like it was worth twice what I paid for it. Working fridge, heater, hot water, flat screen TV, and the wireless Internet was a full five bars. I have only one significant gripe: the quality of the pillows. The pillows in my room were flat as pancakes and felt like they'd been there a long time. My king size bed only had two standard pillows. If you come here, consider bringing your own pillow. Other than that, minor complaints about needing a touch of paint here and there and the noise from Highway 190 was a little noticable, but these are really minor complaints. The continental breakfast was standard fare (cereals, pastries, waffle maker, juices and milk), but it tasted fine. Considering the amount I paid, I'd rate this at 9.5/10.

Comfort Inn JasperPosted Jan 14, 2014
Pros: Leaving
Cons: Tear it down and do a total remodel
I would NOT recommend that anyone stay here. The room had a musty, moldy smell. The bed was very uncomfortable, flimsy and had a plastic covering over the mattress that you could feel thru the sheets. The thin pillows and comforter had cigarettes burn holes in them. Stay any where but here.

If you're not plugged into Shop-Eat-Surf.com daily, you're out of touch with our business!- By Peter "PT" Townend, The ActivEmpire
I'm an avid reader of Shop-Eat-Surf because it's really the only online newsletter that I have found that is not only industry related, but also because it's not so "guy-centric." I find that a lot of the information I read on the site pertains to my business (as a swimwear designer) and keeps me up to date on what other companies and other women in the industry in general are doing which is not only inspiring but also helps me gauge the future direction of my business as well.
I feel privileged to read the Executive Edition because I know I am getting insider industry information before it hits the mainstream media channels. And it's always good to know what my friends are up to in the industry.- By Monica Wise, Founder, L*Space
MOSS ADAMS CAPITAL: Apparel and foowear market monitor highlights notable deals, stock prices and results.
Details on Industry Insight.
I had a brief talk with Quiksilver European President Pierre Agnes during the Quiksilver Pro New York, and he gave me an update on some developments in Europe.
I also went to a party Tuesday night in New York that Quiksilver's French team threw to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Quiksilver Pro France. See photos from the party above in our slide show.
Quiksilver has remodeled about 75% of its stores there, and plans to eventually remodel 100%. The company operates approximately 250 stores in Europe.
It is also building a new generation of Boardriders flagship stores that carry all the clothing and technical gear, and have bars and a cafe in addition to space for bands to play.
The stores will be named Boardriders, and then have the logos for all the Quiksilver owned brands underneath the Boardriders sign.
The first of these stores opened in Capbreton in France, followed by one in Ericeira in Portugal and another in Paris. The fourth store with the new flagship model opens in Chamonix in the Alps on Nov. 15, followed by a store in Barcelona next spring.
The goal is to open these flagship stores in key cities on the Atlantic side of the coast in the UK, France, Portugal and Spain, and also have this new generation of flagships in key cities in the Alps.
I asked Pierre if he is seeing the impact of the uncertainty surrounding financial markets in Europe. He said Europe is so large and so diverse, the situation varies from country to country.
Countries like Germany and Austria are doing fine, some of the southern countries and the UK are shakier and France is stable.
He does expect Quiksilver Europe to show revenue growth next year, he said.

This is half photograph and half digital paint, technically call a "Matte Painting." People seem to really like these, i do quite a bit of modification to the color and add "stylized lines" as well. Although I'm not sure I'm going to have much of a painting effect on the next one of these that I do. Repetitive horizontal lines start to do some very strange things at different resolutions. And that is frustrating. Plus I just want to see how people will like these without such a strong painting effect. We'll see . . .

Hey all!
I hope that all is well as you prepare for summer vacation. The rainy season in Uganda just ended, the roads in the rural villages are passable, malaria is in full-swing, and we would like to conduct one more distribution before the children leave for the summer. Francis, the Ugandan volunteer who oversees the 52 schools where we distribute has asked if we could give to: Diima Primary School (total population 1,286), Nanda Primary School (total Population 1,079) and Yabwengi Primary School (total Population 1,022) for a total of 3387 children. The total cost of this distribution is $13,427. We have made about $3,000 since our initial request. We greatly appreciate all who have so generously contributed. We are still about $7427 short.
Francis and his students are waiting to hear from us. This would be the first time we would have to say "no" to Francis and his students in Uganda. If you have any funds to contribute-- ideas or suggestions of ways to fundraise, we would greatly appreciate them. We are selling jewelry: http://www.networkagainstmalaria.org/#!shop-now/c24ib and dolls: http://www.globalgiving.org/dy/v2/gifts-for-good/detail.html?projectGift.id=139 No amount is too small. Every bit helps! Thanks for all of the work that you do. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely,

We are a young couple from Paris, an artist & a writer, 28 & 35 year old, wishing to discover the world.
Mélodie Et Timothée has completed online and offline ID verification.

We were very satisfied with our romantic, Valentine's day stay in Paris. Melody and Timothée were responsive and provide a clean apartment with all the necessities. Their recommendations in the city also helped us discover some great spots.
Highly recommended.
Apartment exactly as listed, very convenient and very very clean. Communication was fast, easy, and their responses were kind and easygoing. Lots of great suggestions for the wonderful and trendy neighborhood around the flat. Great groceries, bakeries, etc for making your own meals. The apartment is quiet and beautiful with lots of great personal touches. Great view. Would love to stay again.
Our experience at M&J's apartement was great!
Communication with Maxime was perfect from the beginning. We needed help in Paris and Maxime was there for us.
The flat is beautiful, very clean, stylish and warm.
The location is very good: near 3 metro stations, a lot of cafes around, a flee market, restaurants and yet in a very quiet street.
We could'nt ask for more.
Merci beaucoup pour la gentillesse avant et pendant notre séjour.
Même par SMS nous avons pu compter sur votre disponibilité. L appartement est très bien situé.
Il est très calme.
Je le recommande vraiment a tous ceux qui souhaitent visiter la capitale.
Les bars et restos du quartier sont aussi très sympas.
Appartement juste un peu plus petit que les photos ne laissent paraître.
Encore merci
Maxime met me personally and showed me their favourite restaurants and places to buy good produce locally, They asked me to call for any recommendations or help with any thing i needed
Thank you
Very homey place with lovely view! We really enjoyed staying at Juliette & Maxime's place. Also, it's just enough space for a couple. Location was good as well. Local farmer's market is few steps away from the place and nice bakery and cheese shops are also near by the place.
The appartment was just perfect! it was really clean. the view over Paris was incredible. Thank you very much :)
The apartment is beautiful, and in a great location: you can find a lot of bar, restaurants, brasseries and bistrot. Supermarket (email hidden). Metro (email hidden)e host gave us precise informations before our holiday. Checkin and checkout were flexible. In summary: perfect!
Juliette and Maxime are great hosts, their apartment is exquisite, with a lot of intelligent and artistic details. I had a great view from balcony, peace, and location is just perfect for finding great coffee spots, and other parisian things)
Thank You for making my vacation so special!
The appartment was well furbished and clean with all the facilities that you would expect for the perfect weekend getaway.
Maxime and Juliette were available and responsive throughout our stay.
They provided us with comprehensive and detailed information beforehand, which made everything very easy.
The location is perfect. We warmly recommend them and their apartment.
I wish all owners to have a guest like Juliette :-)

Indian tea industry to develop 'Trustea' code
July 12, 2013
KOLKATA: The Indian tea industry would develop the 'Trustea' code for production of safe and hygienic teas as a part of sustainability initiative programme involving all the stakeholders, including Tea Board. Launching the 'India Sustainable Tea Program' here, Tea Board Chairman M G V K Bhanu said the sustainability initiative would entail establishment of the 'Trustea' code.

Drought takes a toll on tea crop in South India, prices jump by 25%
March 20, 2013
PK Krishnakumar , ET Bureau
KOCHI: South Indian tea prices have jumped 25% year on year and the industry reckons that the prices will remain bullish as the output is likely to be lower in the first half of the year. Production has declined due to extended drought leading to low supplies to the auctions at Kochi, Coonoor and Coimbatore. Though the crop is down across India, the scarcity is severe in the south, which contributes a significant share to exports. "It is one of the worst drought in the recent times.
PSC urges GoI to ensure large scale re-plantation of tea bushes.
March 18, 2013
Debasis Sarkar , ET Bureau
SILIGURI: Lack of bush replantation and rejuvenation of bush health are major deterrent factors for Indian tea production. With this as major consideration, Parliamentary Standing Committee on Commerce has urged the ministry to go for replantation or rejuvenation of old tea bushes on priority basis. "It is high time that the Department of Commerce and the Tea Board should take note of the reality and shrug the complacency that seems to have set in their efforts," noted the committee in its report prepared to be submitted to the Rajyasabha.

Skyrim mods incoming! It's now been two weeks since the game was released, and there's been and explosion of modding activity. Skyrim was already an amazing looking game, but with just a handful of these mods it can look even better. Not to mention a whole host of bug fixes, stability improvements, interface tweaks and gameplay enhancements.
Once again we've rounded up the best, prettiest, most useful and funniest mods to enhance your Skyrim experience. Check inside for the full list.
Remember, this list will be perpetually updated as more mods are released, so if you have any particular favourites you'd like to be included, mention them in the comments below and I'll test them out before the next update.
There's a lot of post processing mods for Skyrim, but FXAA has emerged as the best. It layers on several handy effects like sharpening, technicolour, sepia and saturation, but the best part is that it's all totally customisable. Modifying the settings file will let you turn settings on and off or adjust them to your preferences, giving you full control over the look and feel of your Skyrim game.
Playing Skyrim inevitably results in picking up a lot of items you don't necessarily need. Weapons or armour you aren't properly trained with, or just useless pots and pans, every Dovahkiin ends up with a lot of clutter in their inventory. Val's Crafting Meltdown , has an ingenious solution to that problem, giving players the ability to melt down weapons, armour and junk into raw materials like iron and steel. It also provides an invaluable service for archers, letting them use smithing to create arrows, an ability inexplicably missing from the original game. Val's Crafting Meltdown is built to be compatible with other crafting mods, so if want to expand your crafting options, be sure to check out The Lost Art of the Blacksmith and More Craftables , which let you craft faction specific items like Thieves Guild armour or Skyforge Steel weapons. Alternatively Craftable Staffs lets mages get in on the smithing action too.
Frustrated with Skyrim's inventory interface? Annoyed at excessive scrolling? Wish you could see the stats of your items without selecting them? QD Inventory is the answer to your problems. The mod replaces the default interface with a very different one, categories are arranged at the top of the screen while the armour, damage, weight and value of your items is displayed along the side. Creator Roltak describes this as a 'quick and dirty' solution to the interface problems, better interfaces will likely come in future, but for now this is streets ahead of the original Bethesda UI.
Xenius has rapidly carved himself a niche as Skyrim's premier character enhancement modder, producing a whole series of texture improving mods at a tremendous rate. He started with No More Blocky Faces and Detailed Faces , but he's since expanded into (deep breath) Detailed Bodies , High Quality Eyes , Detailed Lips and Better Beast Races (breath out) all of which offer significant improvements on the default character models. The only gripe is that you have to download them all individually, hopefully Xenius plans to package all his components into a single install when he's finished.
Like Quarl's Texture mod for Oblivion or NeilMC's for Fallout 3, Skyrim HD is an ambitious project to replace the majority of in game textures with new, high resolution versions. It's still very much a work in progress, only Windhelm and Whiterun have both been updated, as well as several forest and cave texture, but Skyrim HD looks set to match it's illustrious predecessors.
Another neat little improvement to Skyrim's effects, Realistic Smoke and Embers completely overhauls the appearance of fire in the game, improving it greatly. It's the mod that screenshotmancer Duncan ' Dead End Thrills ' Harris used to create this stunning image (along with plenty of other mods and tweaks). If you're playing Skyrim as a fire throwing destruction mage, you must install this mod.
The water in Skyrim already looks pretty lovely, but Realistic Water pushes it that little bit further. Based on high resolution photography, Realistic Water makes Skyrim's streams foam and bubble in a beautiful and convincing way.
If you like lovely sunlight effects Skyrim Sunglare is the mod for you. It makes the game's sun produce delicious rays of beamy goodness, including optional lens flare effects for those who favour the 'cinematic' look. There's something special about cresting a mountain and watching the sunbeams break through over the horizon, and this mod makes it even better.
There's a lot of snow in Skyrim, so it's a shame it's mostly represented by vague white blobs floating past. Nicer Snowflakes fixes that problem completely, replacing the default snow with beautiful, high resolution flakes. There's several flavours to choose from, but I like the 'Whimsical' version best. It might not be what snow really looks like, but it's what we all wish it did.
If you're like me, you probably played several hours of Skyrim before even realising mining was in the game. The problem is that ore veins don't actually look that different from the surrounding rock. Thankfully, Glowing Ore Veins solves that problem, tweaking minable rocks to make them stand out more from the background. As an added bonus it'll fade back to normal once you've extracted all the ore, once again blending harmlessly into the background.
[VAMS id="l54q3heK57N8m"]
Not so much a mod as a set of tweaks, Map in full 3D shows you how to modify Skyrim's ini file to make it possible to zoom the in game map right down to the ground. The result is essentially a free camera mode that lets you roam anywhere in the world. It's like the google street view team was let loose in the frozen north.
The ENBSeries mods are famous for adding improved post processing and lighting effects to make games like GTA4 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution look amazing. Sadly this patch doesn't do that, instead it's focused on fixing graphical errors and letting the game play better on a lower end PC. Don't worry though, ENB creator Boris Vorontsov is already working on a full graphical overhaul, and has included some test footage, which I've included above.
If you've been reading this list and installing all the graphical improvements, there's a possibility you've encountered some stability issues. But fear not! A solution is at hand. Like previous Bethesda games, Skyrim doesn't use more than 2gb of RAM, regardless of how much you actually have. Using a large address aware patch like Skyrim 4GB will fix that, allowing Skyrim to make full use of your system's abilities, reducing crashes and maintaining a stable FPS count.
Simple borderless window does what it says, it makes Skyrim run in a false fullscreen mode, allowing for the easy alt tabbing of windowed mode but while still keeping your screen full of wonderful landscapes.
[VAMS id="hoxmv2j9B05w6"]
A nice little mod I've enjoyed in previous Bethesda games. Enhanced Night Sky replaces the Skyrim's stars with a high resolution texture taken from starfield photography. This version is so seamless it doesn't even effect the in game constellations, and looks simply beautiful.
[VAMS id="llHr02MvP3Ld0"]
Arachnophobes like PC Gamer contributor Richard Cobbett have a hard time with games like Skyrim. Which is why No Spiders patches, which remove the offending beasties from the game, are so useful. This first attempt at a spider free Skyrim is particularly hilarious, as it replaces the models of the spiders with completely out of place bears. We'll let you decide which is scarier.
Skyrim's interface can be really awkward, Hard Coded key tweaks aims to improve that. Now you can (for instance) turn lockpicks with whatever direction keys you chose, not just WASD, or being able to close the favourites window by pressing Q and myriad other improvements.
An update of the popular Fallout 3 savegame manager, TESV savegame manager mod helps save and organise your games far more efficiently than the game does by default.
This is going to be one to keep an eye on. Vurt's Skyrim flora overhaul is dedicated to improving the quality of the vegetation in Skyrim, starting with trees. It even offers several different colour schemes to let you tailor your foliage to your own desires.
Enhanced Blood Textures does exactly what it says, it improves the resolution of the blood textures in the game, but does it so well that it's one of the most noticeably improved texture mods available.
Once again, we're going to keep updating this list with new and interesting mods, so if you know of any good ones we've missed please let us know in the comments.

Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy of Chernozem Humic Acid and Their Fractions Obtained by Coupled Size Exclusion ChromatographyPolyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SEC-PAGE)
Volume 60, Number 1 (Jan. 2006) Page 48-53
Sanchez-Cortes, S.; Corrado, G.; Trubetskaya, O.E.; Trubetskoj, O.A.; Hermosin, B.; Saiz-Jimenez, C.
A humic acid extracted from a chernozem soil was fractionated combining size exclusion chromatography and polyacrylamide electrophoresis (SEC-PAGE). Three fractions named A, B, and C+D, with different electrophoretic mobilities and molecular sizes (MS), were obtained and subsequently characterized by thermochemolysis and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The data confirmed that fraction A, with the higher MS, was more aliphatic than fractions B and C+D and, in turn, fractions with lower MS (B and C+D) denoted an enrichment in lignin residues. These structural features explain conformational changes when varying the pH in the humic fraction A and indicated that combination of the two techniques is a good approach for characterizing humic substances.

Funny movie you have here, i liked watching those worms go at it hehe. The classic gaming style you have is nice, and the sprite of the worms are well done, i like the sound effects in this too...
Maybe next time you could have more to the story then just shooting, and more of a classic background then a simple drawn up one...
Its a good animation, and fun to watch, so good work...
Very nice, I remember watching the first episode. Nice voice acting... it was fun to watch these worms fight each other. Graphics/animation look really good. great work!
I loved this and Im a big fan of worms games though it would be better if you used real worms sprites then it would be better.Anyway where did you get the Ocean title sprite from???
Ya mommie's boy!
I liked it.. It was short, but kinda funny. Hmm.. 3 out of 5 ^^
soz to give you a low mark but, you could have dona a whole lot better, especially with the graphics, they were just plain taccy, im sorry, but more effort needed

Every morning and every evening, rain or shine, hot or cold, Ivy Harris walks one mile from her apartment on Decker Lane in Northeast Austin to the nearest bus stop to get to her job downtown.Here's one case where "tough love" is encouraging the right decision. Relying on the State to provide your personal transportation may leave you without such transportation and unable to fulfill your own responsibilities. The appropriate response, rather than quitting your job, is to take steps to become responsible for yourself. In fact, the article closes on this note:
"I was going to quit, but I talked to my job and they cut my hours, unfortunately, to get me home before it gets dark. Because one night I walked home and it was dark I couldn't see my hand in front of me," Harris said.
Her plan is to save up for a car and insurance so she can work more hours and fulfill her other responsibilities to her children. Right now, she must rely on cabs to get to the grocery store at a cost of $25 each way.
Some subjects interviewed for this article have since found ways to purchase vehicles, at times at the expense a tighter budget for food and other basic bills.Heavens, you don't say that they are making cost-benefit tradeoffs!

Adobe (Temporarily?) Kills 64-Bit Flash For Linux 272
from the how-rude dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
That's one down. Now, get them to cancel flash on i386 Linux, then on MacOS, then Windows, and we'll be all set.
First Apple, and now Adobe as the new flash killer. Good job
By committed, we mean not really committed at all.
We know that Silverlight is suppoting 64-bit. We know that Microsoft has been pushing 64-bit since 2003. We know all new Windows 7 PCs are coming 64-bit. And we will continue to keep our heads in the sand.
Thanks for your continued patronage.
Welcome to the Flash Player 10.1 Forum
Important: Do not use this forum to discuss the Flash Player 10 64-bit Linux prerelease or Flash Player 10 and earlier release players. Follow these links to discuss these topics:

Welcome to the Flash Player 10 for 64-bit Linux Forum
I'm not sure whether I should laugh or cry... but it reminds me of reading The Trial
Hey, at least you Linux lot had a 64-bit Flash in the first place. Us poor Windows users have to drop to the 32-bit browser if we want to run pointless rubbish (well, excluding Windows itself, but you know what I mean).
> Flash 10 had been working a LOT better than previous versions for me...
That's the explanation, then. The quality got out of control and exceeded their standards. Nothing to do but kill it.
Is your job running? You'd better go catch it!

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.
