1998 Nissan 200SX SE 2dr Coupe
I've been very happy with this car that looks just like the one pictured :) It's going strong after 11 years and 128,000 miles, with little maintenance. I have had some minor repairs done, but it beats having to buy a new car.

I've had this car for 2 years now and she's running fine so far. One of the obvious yet best things about this car is the gas mileage. When it comes to tuning, there aren't a ton of mods out there for it, but you can purchase mods for a 95-98 Sentra with the same engine size and type and it'll be fine. So far I've got a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust, and street springs. Performance was a little lackluster stock, but when modified... well, I'm left speechless. Great car and lightweight as well.

I have 201,189 miles on my car. I replaced the computer chip, kind of expensive. But, overall just standard maintenance, tires, oil, brakes and 1 battery. Starts always! Not very fast, but once it gets up to speed, you can lock the cruise at 80 and go. Averages 36 mpg!! I think I will keep it until it falls apart, or 500,000 which ever comes first.

1998 Nissan 200SX 2dr Coupe
I'm the orignal owner with 105k on it so far and have had barely a single problem the car. I replaced the alternator at 56K and o/w nothing but routine maintenance. Good handling on curves and mountains. Good visibility but some wind noise. No power locks or windows to break - manual works. Smooth shifting and decent acceleration.

I'm on my 8th year of owning my 200SX and still look forward to driving it every morning. It's fast, fuel efficient, spacious (I carpool with 3 other guys), and well-designed. And best of all, it's not one of those dime-a-dozen compacts you see on the roads everyday. I've brought it in for regular maintenance and have had no problems with it at all. The engine has a deep, confident tone, and the ride is smooth and controlled. The only poorly designed feature is the placement of the cup holder - which blocks the radio buttons when in use. All in all, a great value for those looking for an efficient commuter car.

I bought this car when I got tired of my week 2Liter Ford Escort Sport Se, and I must say this thing is awesomely powerful, even though the engine is only 1.6... I took civics and focus without much effort. I would like to get the SE-R for the 4 wheel disc breaks, more power, but at the cost of gas mileage, power windows/doors and sun/moon roof. I wouldn't mind a 2002 Sentra SE-R Spec V, but they are still to expensive and most likely will be cop magnets, thats why I whant a '98 SE-R, because no one expects to much out of it. Great Car highly recommended for everyone! I Have a black car, with a custom grill, grey seat covers, the car looks awesome!

When trying to buy a car for a high school teenager, one must always take into their "need" for a fast and good looking car. This car I believe has good looks and although it won't beat any decent DSM's it's handling is superb, and to add to that it is the most reliable car I have ever known. Nissan builds cars like rocks, and spin down the block solidifies this. The transmission in this car is incredible, everything is point to point, no "grey gears" to felt. While in a race this car may never keep up with those DSM's it will defintely outlast them, plus just remember who has working AC.

Each person who buys a car has varied expectations out of their purchase. My scenario: recently a 16-year old high schooler car enthusiast who payed for everything but the initial price. Performance: never whiny free revving engine with 5 speed, ok acceleration at high revs, shifting never sloppy. Cost and Upkeep: BEST part of the car. 30+ mpg very spirited driving, no unexpected repairs w/ normal maintenance. Aesthetics(inside and outside): overall above average function and placement but kinda plain. Add some zest with seat covers, speakers, neon or whatever to PERSONALIZE! I had 3 minor crashes to body and chassis which never changed how it drove..EVER. Would drive it, but totalled

The lightweight manual transmission base model, despite not having significant amounts of power, is still fun to drive. Although its somewhat tall stance and small brake rotors may suggest otherwise, this vehicle is capable of some very spirited driving. Interior cabin space is very good, visibility is excellent, and highway mileage is impressive (I often average 38 mpg on mostly highway driving). I would reccomend this car to younger drivers who want a fun small car that can still comfortably carry their friends and their overnight bags.

I love my 200sx because it is reliable,
spanky(notreally powerful)but averages
30mpg on gas. it is well built and put
together and I love it. The only
problem I've had so far is oil leak due
to a faulty valve cover which was fixed
for under $200 and the annoying check
engine light that my mechanic cannot
figure out. I would recommend this
car to anyone looking for a reliable
transport that won't drain the bank

Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey
To the President of Syria, Mr. and Mrs. Bashar al-Assad
Mr. and Mrs. President Bashar al-Assad:
At the tender age of 17 months my severely ill daughter Sofia, an American citizen, was abducted by her mother on Monday, July 26, in Istanbul, Turkey, and taken to Syria.
I was informed yesterday by Sofia's mother that she will not be coming back to the United States nor will she allow Sofia to return home.
Sofia has been diagnosed with a severe medical condition that requires immediate treatment in the United States. It was scheduled to start on July 27, 2010, in New Jersey, the day after her abduction and was supposed to last until she reaches the age of 3.
Any delay in the urgently needed treatment will result in a life-long disability for Sofia and make her dependent for the whole of her adult life.
The treatment is not available in Syria.

Mr. President, I grew up in Turkey listening to the evening news during our family dinners where I used to hear your father Hafez al-Assad's name more often than the names of my own family together with Menachem Begin, Golda Meir, Anwar Sadat, and Yasser Arafat.
I plead with you on behalf of my daughter Sofia to learn of her whereabouts and see her safely and speedily returned home. I also respectfully request a visa to Syria to meet her at the United States Embassy in Damascus to bring her home.
Mrs. President, parents around the world have only the Hague Convention to rely on in international child abduction cases. I urge your humanitarian consideration, as the mother of a precious child, to fight for Syria to be a part of the Hague Convention. I thank you in advance.
Sofia in Wildwood, New Jersey, during the 2010 Memorial Day weekend.
To the U.S. Consul General in Istanbul Sharon Anderholm Wiener
I attended your farewell dinner hosted by the American Business Forum last Thursday in Istanbul. Perhaps you will recall my brief speech during the reception when I spoke about my father's last wish to visit me in the United States three weeks before he passed away 15 years ago.
After a three-year tenure in Turkey you will be arriving in Washington on Saturday. Yesterday was your last day in the office in Istanbul. I attempted to reach you by phone several times. Your assistant Judy informed me each time that you would not take calls in such cases. It is a shame! Speaking the local language fluently, although impressive, is not the entire scope of your responsibilities. I was in Istanbul through July 26 waiting to learn the status of my medical emergency visa application that was submitted on July 7 to your consulate with no luck.
The lack of response from your consulate led to the abduction of my daughter.
Your legacy in Istanbul is marked by the tragic 2008 suicide attack on our consulate in Istanbul that ended with six dead, including three police officers who were locked out of the building at your order during their gun battle. I'm praying and hoping the abduction of my daughter is not added to your legacy in Istanbul as the "Baby Sofia" case.
Sofia in Disney World, the day after her diagnosis, during a father-daughter trip, Summer of 2010.
To the Foreign Minister of Turkey, Ahmet Davutoglu
Since our college days, we, your classmates have been following your diplomatic career with pride and admiration. This weekend I watched your press conference with rapt attention after your three-way summit in Istanbul with the foreign ministers of Brazil and Iran that made headlines around the world Sunday. You will be remembered as one of the international leaders of foreign policy of our time. Keep up the good work of peace in the region and the world!
Considering your historic peace treaties and collaboration projects with Turkey's neighbors - Greece, Armenia, Iran, Iraq, and Syria - and given what I am facing today, I wonder if your decision to lift the visa requirements previously imposed on Syrian citizens contributed to the abduction of my baby. On behalf of thousands of parents in my situation, I ask you to bring up the subject of the Hague Convention with your counterpart, the Syrian Foreign Minister Mr. Walid Muallem, whom you meet with often.

To Readers of My Blog
For the past eight months I have kept silent on a very heartbreaking private matter concerning my baby daughter Sofia but I have decided to share it with you today because it has escalated into a life-threatening situation. I shall keep her picture on my Twitter page until she comes home to the United States. I have set up an emergency email sofia (at) kircaali.com that I am using with the State Department and other communications.
Thank you all for your support and your prayers and wishes for Sofia's immediate safe return home.

Beat On The Street
Miss Pat at Comedy Off Broadway
. Pat hasn't lived the life of your typical comedian. Born to a single mother of 5, living on welfare in a tough west end neighborhood of Atlanta, Ms. Pat learned early on she would have to fend for herself in this world. Her Grandfather ran a "bootleg" house where as a kid Pat learned how to roll the drunks for food money. She had her first child at 14 and her second child at 15, "I knew I wasn't going to college so I figured why not get an early start on my family". She became a drug dealer in her teens known by the street name "Rabbit". At 16 she purchased her first Cadillac. During her teens she was shot twice and arrested numerous times. At 19 years of age she met a man, and with his help and encouragement decided to get out of the "life". "I was so tired, I thought for sure I was going to end up dead. He was 21 and a military vet and he showed me a way out".

Scented geranium blooming
Hi all. i have a scented Geranium that has bloomed. I've had this plant for three years. Last winter I left it on the enclosed porch..temps got down to freezing but no moisture or wind. Once it warmed up I put it outside. I've had scented geraniums on and off for over ten years and this is the first time I've seen one bloom.
It's a citronella type of lemon. The flowers are small and pink. I never thought I'd ever have the conditions right for it to bloom. This past winter I left it on the unheated porch along with two large ficus, a norfolk island pine and the regular geraniums, begonias and a bougenvalia. The bougie has bloomed as well.
I'm going to have to get some scented pelargoniums someday. They are very interesting. I have a similiar porch, that stays above freezing if I open the bathroom window that leads into that room. I kept a hibiscus going in there this past winter. Might have to try a 'bougie' too!
Four citrus scented Pelargoniums that I think are worth growing:
1) 'Mabel Gray': superb lemon scent but tricky to propagate.
2) 'Frensham': excellent lemon scented variety easy to propagate, flowers freely.
3) 'Orange Fizz': Free flowering citrus scented variety.
4) 'Concour Lace': Less heavily scented than the others but has lovely small pink flowers
Thanks Ron, I'll look for those. Of course, my three house rabbits will have some say-so in what I get. The plants will share the sunroom space with the three fuzz-butts. (And rabbits love pelargoniums. It's a simbiotic relationship. Pelargoniums love rabbit droppings ;-)
Concout lace sounds intriguing.
I have a number of them, they winter indoors. I usually get some blooms when they've been outside long enough; but most are tiny, small-petaled affairs. Nothing to hold your breath waiting for. I like them for the interesting leaf forms (as well as the scent, of course).
Did you know they repel mosquitos? I keep a ring of them on my deck, and have anyone who is a mosquito victim (they don't bite me) sit inside the ring, so they can still be outside in the evening and enjoy the garden.
earthnut- delish??? Are you a Philip A Craig fan? (JW & Zeeolinda Jackson on Martha's Vineyard) I am!!!
You know, this year at fair, (where I bring bushel baskets of flowers and plants to decorate around our buildings,) I spent a lot of time with one of our fair announcers, who is blind. He had heard I brought all those flowers, and kindly asked questions about them. I started to think more about making my flower baskets 'accessable' to more than just sighted individuals. Especially since this gent and many others, spend so many hours making our fair great. I usually put a basket out by the fair office trailer to thank those folks, and that's where this gentleman is usually at, making announcements. Maybe next year's bushel baskets should have some scented pellies. I definitely want to put Lamb's ear, in there, and some Elijah's blue fescue or prairie dropseed for touch appeal, as well.
The greenhouse just up the road from me has a great selection; maybe I should go do a little shopping.

Journey to Invercargill
Leaving Te Anau at 10am we set of on the 149km journey to Invercargill. Travelling on SH94 back the way we came the day before. Through Mossburn and past the wind farm mentioned in yesterday's instalment, at Lumsden we turned right on to SH6.
On our travels through the south island we have seen fields containing diary cattle and sheep. Current figures put sheep at 39 million (about 8.5 for every New Zealander) and ...
The very South
... a day because of the rain so were pleased to wake up the next morning to glorious sun. We left Te Anau (the nearest town) at 6.00AM and drove to the boat dock. I say we but I stayed in bed and Peter drove. It was a bit bumpy and the mattress does have a tendency to slide of the seat when you go around corners so it's not the most comfortable experience. Peter claimed he was driving carefully- I'm not convinced.
They are quite justified in claiming the area ...
Day 38. Sausage Capital of the World
... local dishes, so whitebait pattie for DaveO and blue cod and chips for me. Bread buttered in the van - delicious! We headed south to Bluff and Stirling Point which was one of the most southern mainland points. It was then to a very high lookout on the hill with amazing views, but the weather was awful, so it was a quick dash. Quick fuel up and back on the road for Waikawo. We set the van overlooking Porpoise Bay for the night, another wonderful ...
The most southerly city
... lizards who were around when the dinosaurs were. The night ended with yet another rugby match in the Irish bar. The next morning we headed along the coast to see some wildlife. We got up close with some sea lions who weren't too happy and took a bit of a run towards us, they were huge. We also seen some more dolphins and went on a hunt ...
Probing the Tenderness
... br>
The end of the week was spent conducting TMP at Lorneville. The process was very similar to what we did at Mataura except the pH of the lambs was measured at 1, 2 and 24 hours after kill. Samples of legs and loins were bagged and some would be frozen immediately while other would be aged in a chiller for 14 days first.
Hop to the next entry (coming soon!) to read about my long Easter weekend ...

Karen, I was so interested in your Mitchell family members at this cemetery. I found my great aunt's mother buried there Martha A Mitchell. Her maiden name was Davis. Would you mind if I make a few connections with your entries and my family?
I wonder who has the records. I feel sure Martha's husband Morris Mitchell must also be buried there with Martha A. Mitchell. Linda

William Taylor Wright
Hi. With the flowers you left for William Taylor Wright (13928102), you mention that he died in 1937. This is incorrect. The Idaho Death Index indicates that he died on 26 Dec 1930. I have copied and pasted it below, that you may see it. You may wish to amend your offering. Just thought you'd like to know.

RE: Thomas C. Livingston + Monroe
Oh, my! Serendipity and Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness at work! I will have to ask the real expert on this family if Mary was Thomas' sister, but it does seem very likely. The family originally was from New York but moved west in stages, as so many did. Thomas' brother William was married in Morrow, Knox Co. OH in 1847. The 2 youngest sons (Thomas and John) came to Iowa first, as I recall, followed by the other 2 brothers and the parents. All but brother William settled near each other on the border of Jasper and Marion Counties in Iowa; he settled closer to the Mississippi.

Thomas C. Livingston + Monroe
Thank you for adding the obituary to Thomas's memorial. It is the best one I have seen! Thomas was the first husband of my great-grand-aunt Harriet Carder Livingston. After his tragic death, when their youngest was a year old, she eventually married again, but Thomas was the father of all 7 of her children.

RE: Thomas Irwin Brett at Woodlawn
No problem!! I am in the process of photographing the entire cemetery, there are supposed to be around 11,000 burials. There may be other Bretts buried where he is and I just haven't gotten to those photos yet. I'll be more than happy to let you know if I find more and transfer them if you would like.

Indiana high school football soaring as new season commences
As the high school football season kicks off Friday night, it could be argued that the game has never been healthier, or more popular, than it is right now in Indiana.

Sammy Sosa's "Skin Rejuvenation" and the Politics of Skin Color
By lainad on November 19, 2009
BlogHer Original Post
So we are at the end of 2009, and it amazes me how many lingering social/racial/socio-political issues have suddenly raised their ugly head late in the year.
We have body issues - are we too fat or thin?
Hair problems - straight or curly, natural or relaxed, weaves or wigs?
And the latest problem...skin color.
This past weekend, I attended a conference where one of the panelists, a young biracial man who is the vocalist for an up-and-coming band, unwittingly unleashed a firestorm when discussing blacks in the rock / punk / hardcore scene. He declared that he had never experienced any negative remarks about his ethnicity but then he added, "well my mom always told me and my brother that because of our light skin and wavy hair, that we would have an easier time in life."
People were stunned. At first, I decided maybe he was just stating a fact and there was nothing insidious behind it, but later on during his time on the panel, he used his light and bright appearance as a defense mechanism to when people critiqued the other somewhat disturbing things he said during his talk.
When a group of black female university students challenged him, he alluded to the fact that they disliked him because he was 'lighter' than they were. He also compared his 'wavy' hair to an attendee who wore a natural 'fro. The look of hurt on this woman's face - an absolutely beautiful woman completing her Masters as a prestigious university - broke my heart.
The worst part was - and I gathered this because I spent quite a lot of time with him after the panel - was that he was not being intentionally cruel in his remarks - he clearly had no idea how f&*ked up his reasoning was. He knew that he had benefited because he was a very good-looking young dude with a kick-ass body, smarts (I think he went to MIT) and his band is doing well, but by openly admitting his privilege, he hurt the feelings of many people who were struggling with their images.
So I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. I did tell him that he was truly f$%ked and I told him why - I didn't slap him like I wanted to, but I was actually proud of myself that I and the other women who went for a drink after the panel, had a rational - okay, it did get heated at times - discussion with him.
But what was interesting was the timing of this incident. A week earlier, pictures showed up on the 'Net of Sammy Sosa, whom despite claiming that he is going through 'skin rejuvenation everyone is skeptical that the brother went from having brown skin to a frightfully pale appearance. Sosa, who is Dominican, has been quoted as saying that it was an accident but I am pretty sure people know he is lying. After all, wasn't he on steroids?
Shaka from The Shaka Shaw Show thinks that this is just a symptom of self-hate:
This is some old school self-hate sh*t. Back before we had BET and JET Beauty of the Week, before Kiki Shepard and Tyler Perry movies. Before we had a plethora of good-looking Black people in the public eye, on the big screen and on TV, in all their beige, caramel, chocolate, and blue-black glory. Naps and perms, weaves and dreads. It's all beautiful. So why in 2009 is Sammy Sosa (without the vitiligo excuse) brightening his skin? Mental slavery…some folk just don't wanna be free.
What was funny is that at the same conference, we were talking about Michael Jackson. I can't remember what I said ( probably something mildly offensive) but people went silent. Black Americans and Michael Jackson? Talk about denial. No one wants to talk about how the brother not only bleached his skin, wore a wig and was not interested in any woman who were darker than a paper bag. It is this silence that tells me that black folks are really invested in only keeping the 'positive' aspects of Michael alive and will conveniently forget the troublesome ones.
And now they are saying that Prince, Jackson's son has Vitiligo, the same skin disorder that Jackson allegedly had - but isn't that child white? and allegedly not Jackson's biological child?
And we have, of course Precious and the actress, Gabourey Sidibe that played her. We have the issue that I raised in last week's post about Lee Daniels decision to have a biracial actress play an integral part in the movie, in which the original character, Ms. Rain, was a dark-skinned, deadlocked sista. From Feministing:
In the book, the description of Blue Rain, the half-messiah, half-educator that delivers Precious from the bondage of illiteracy and abuse is as follows: "She dark, got nice face, big eyes, and...long dreadlocky hair." (39-40) This character in the movie is played by Paula Patton, a light-skinned African American woman with straightened hair. By no means do I doubt the talent of Patton, but it means something that the directors chose to cast one of the most central characters of the film against Sapphire's original description.
Look, if people want to bleach their skin, so be it. But people ain' t stupid.We know about the caste system in other countries where people are more valued if their skin is lighter (thanks Colonialism!) We also know that popular culture / media values those who have more Eurocentric features. It is sad, though that just like our hair issues, our weight issues and apparently now our skin color issues, we haven't yet beat the beast that has been plaguing us for centuries - in a time when we are supposed to be celebrating the fact that the American president is biracial. That his beautiful wife and daughters are black and beautiful.
Also this weekend I also interviewed a well-known vocalist/guitarist in the metal world who is biracial. He said that despite Obama being in office, in his opinion, racism in the States had gotten worse, and he predicted that things would continue to go downhill. So I guess the guy at the conference was wrong after all: Light-skinned brothas with wavy hair are not better off.

It's that time again - come join the fun on Sunday, May 3rd from 10am-4pm at the 2015 Rieke Art Fair!
Here's what we need immediately: volunteers! However much time you have (as little as 1-3 hours), please review our volunteer page if you're interested in helping with various coordination opportunities for one of Rieke's most festive events!
We will feature dozens of professional artists (example of 2014 artists) offering artwork ranging from jewelry and paintings to ceramics and artistic fashions. You'll also have an opportunity to support Rieke students who will be selling their creative handiwork.
Once classes are available (we need volunteers to make this happen!), sign up your kids for an art class! Online register and a downloadable registration form will be available once the classes are confirmed. Art classes are $15 each and will be offered throughout the day, giving kids an opportunity to make a special art piece they can take home – just in time for Mother's Day.
Enjoy flavorful fare while taking in the sights and sounds of entertainment provided by Robert Gray and Wilson students and other local musicians.
The fair coincides with Opening Day of the Hillsdale Farmers Market, creating a day of community-building, artistic expression and cultural celebration not to be missed.
Art Fair proceeds benefit the Rieke PTA. Funds from the PTA provide support for technology instruction, science enrichment, outdoor classroom integration, teacher grants and a food pantry that supports children from a dozen Rieke families by sending home non-perishable meal items every weekend.

I recently bought a cheap D70s on ebay, with the intention of converting it to IR. I realize I'm a few years late to the party, but is there anyone still making replacement filters for the sensors, besides Lifepixel or LeZot? I can do the installation by myself. I just can't seem to find any specific info regarding the actual sensor dimensions, and which glass to use for it? I've found all of the disassembly instructions and everything, I'm just looking for a cheaper alternative to the Lifepixel or LeZot glass (which cost more than I spent on the whole camera).
Just wanted to post an update. I ended up buying a piece of RG715 glass online, and cutting it to size myself. It was only $15! Seems to work fine, focus is good for landscapes at f8 or smaller with no adjustment.
Hi Bill,I too recently acquired a used D70 with the distinct possibility of converting it to IR.Be sure to post some of your work in the IR/UV section; I'll be watching for your stuff.

The Space
In the heart of the 7th district, right next to the Seine and to the Musée d'Orsay, this flat sits at the best possible location if you want to visit Paris. Located on the ground floor and yet totally calm since in an elegant courtyard, it is the perfect fit for a couple or a family of up to four.
The flat is made of one bedroom with a double bed, one bathroom with a shower and toilets, one entrance, and one main room with a kitchen side and a living-room side, both being separated by a bar.
The location is ideal if you want to visit the city : you can go to most interesting spots on foot or with a direct ride through the metro.
Musée d'Orsay is one minute away from the house. The Louvre and the Tuileries garden are just across the river, 5 minutes away walking. Saint-Germain is a 10 minutes walk. The Eiffel tower is a 20-minute walk, or you could prefer a 10 minutes bike ride thanks to Vélib, the rental system of the Paris area. Saint-Michel, Montmartre, the Eiffel Tower again and even the Versailles castle are all direct rides with either the line 12 of the Metro (stop is Solférino, one minute away) of RER C, which is the suburban train (and that you catch under the Musée d'Orsay).
You'll find everything you need within just a few minutes-walk. There is a great bakery just at the angle with boulevard Saint-Germain ; you'll find multiple places selling groceries as close as just around the corner. And there are plenty of restaurants and cafés everywhere !
The whole building is a 19th century construction that has entirely been renovated to meet modern standards. The flat itself has been redone completely a few years ago and the kitchen is brand new and you'll find all the ustensils you need to cook absolutely anything. I can lend you a baby bed would you need one. You'll enjoy high-speed internet (wifi) as well as cable TV in the house.
This place is the perfect deal for a couple visiting Paris with up to two kids -or alone.
The Neighborhood
Great cosy neighborhood, one of the safest in Paris and the most expensive. Everything is super-close yet it isn't crammed like the other arrondissements across the Seine river which is 200 meters away : you'll find everything you need to enjoy your stay and yet the place is very calm.
Getting around
The best thing about this place is the location which makes it super easy to go anywhere around Paris thanks to the metro (Solferino) and RER (Musée d'Orsay) stops which are literally two minutes away. There are also four bus stops as well as the Batobus (boat-bus on the Seine).
No pets and no smoking please.
Checkout up to 12:00 am, check-in after 2 pm.
Below is how the waste-sorting works in Paris.
Glass goes into the container with the white lid. Cardboard, paper, plastic bottles and tin cans are the only things that go in the container with the yellow lid. Please do not close the bag in which they are when you dump them. Everything else goes into the container with the green lid with red writing on it. Thank you for only using the three bins closer to the gate (the other two belong to the restaurant). In case there is a doubt, please use the container with the green lid and the red markings.
Do not worry, this information on the waste-sorting is hanged in the flat !
This apartment is very well located and comfortable. Directions were excellent and can recommended to all.
Amazing location. Couldn't be beat. We were in walking distance to everything!! What an amazing place to stay for a week in Paris. Thanks luc!
The flat was beautiful, just as in the pictures. The location could not have been better, and it was in perfect condition when we arrived - very clean and stocked with everything we needed for cooking etc. I would definitely recommend staying here.
This was a great apartment for our one week stay 50 years after meeting in Paris. Location ideal, bed comfortable, all necessary utensils. Very clean and well maintained. We would stay there again in a moment. Thanks Luc and Patrick
The apartment was small but very functional, especially for a family with a kid. Just a small bridge away you can walk in the Tuillerie Garden and enjoy your splendid neighborhood. Luc was very helpful and all the description correspondent to the real state of things. If you are looking for a small but intense touristic stay, this is your place!
Luc was not available to meet my husband and I at arrival, but he made everything so easy, there was no need.
He was always available by phone or text.
The apartment is exactly like the pictures, has everything you need and more - we loved it!!!
The location was perfect, after our 1st day using the Hop On Hop Off we walked everywhere.
I can't wait to stay with Luc on our next trip to Paris.
Staying at Luc's apartment is a wonderful way to experience Paris . The location is super central, just 2 min walk from Musee d'orsay,with RER C train and metro station access (although you may not need them as you can walk to all major attractions on foot within 20 mins). The appartment itself is tidy and spacious (in paris standard) and has everything you need , i would definitely stay here again next time!

Spanish Still Life from Velazquez to Goya.
The first chapter reviews the origins and functions of still life in Spain. The authors emphasize the importance of humanism, which fostered interest in the mimesis praised by ancient writers. The second chapter discusses the pivotal role of Sanchez Cotan, who produced austere but monumental paintings of ordinary fruits and vegetables in Toledo, c. 1585-1603. The third chapter on Velazquez's bodegones summarizes recent scholarship.
The fourth chapter on still life in Madrid during the early seventeenth century focuses on Van der Hamen, whose paintings of luxurious objects appealed to wealthy collectors. A reasonable chronology is established, and his innovations are clarified. The fifth chapter reconstructs the careers of less well known artists catering to middle class collectors in Madrid during the 1630s. Also analyzed is the patronage of Sir Arthur Hopton, an English diplomat, and Crescenzi, a Roman architect. The sixth chapter reviews later seventeenth-century artists in Madrid, such as Pereda, who popularized Vanitas paintings with figures. The many new attributions include the assignment of Dream of the Knight, previously considered Pereda's masterpiece, to Palacios (known for softly lit paintings of foodstuffs).
The seventh chapter on Seville maintains that independent still lifes became popular there only in the mid-seventeenth century. The authors define the work of the two leading specialists - Juan de Zurbaran (sensuous, theatrical compositions with accidental details) and Camprobin (delicate, intimate paintings of foodstuffs). The treatment of Velazquez in a separate section unfortunately limits analysis of his interaction with contemporaries.
The eighth chapter on still life in Valencia focuses on Hiepes, a prolific, archaic painter (active 1642-74), whose style is distinguished from that of a follower, identified as "Pseudo-Hiepes." The ninth chapter traces the development of the Late Baroque school of flower painting in Madrid. The commission given to Bartolome Perez for fifty-four gilded floral panels for the bedchamber of Charles II demonstrates the prestige of the genre.
The tenth chapter reviews the decline of still life painting at the end of the Golden Age, while the eleventh chapter analyzes its revival with the encouragement of the Royal Academy, founded in 1752. Melendez, the most outstanding still life painter of the era, was excluded from the Academy, but his monumental, classicizing compositions accord with its precepts. He revived the humble subjects of Sanchez Cotan but made several innovations (low vantage points, close-up views, etc.). The twelfth chapter discusses the school of flower painting fostered by the Academy of San Carlos in Valencia during the late eighteenth century.
The book ends on a dramatic note with a study of Goya's still lifes (c. 1808-12), which transformed dead birds, animals, and fish into the still life equivalents of the victims of the Disasters of War.
It is to be regretted that the authors did not provide a concluding chapter, synthesizing their ideas and assessing the place of Spanish still life within the general history of European painting. Nevertheless, this book undoubtedly will become a standard reference source. The many contributions include the reconstruction of careers of less well known painters, new information on famous artists, and analysis of patterns of marketing and collecting. Discussions of attribution problems provide models of sensitive connoisseurship. The authors' evident love of their subject literally makes their discussions of "dead objects" come alive.

Jordan Brand Celebrates 10 Years of Melo with Special Signature Collection by Brendan Dunne 36 Comments
Big step in the rite direction(design aspect), I dig it...
October 7, 2011 BY John Kim / 4
As they say in show business, "The show must go on". Despite the 2011-12 NBA Season not in effect just yet, Jordan Brand unveiled three signatures shoes this past week – one of which was Carmelo Anthony's Jordan Melo M8. With the Melo M8 being the first official signature shoe as a member of the New York Knicks, Jordan Brand kicked things off with this all-things-NY colorway of blue, orange, black, and white – similar to those Knicks jerseys from the late 90's (remember the 'Away' joints had the black panel down the sides?). These aren't set for an official drop until next Wednesday, but Jordan Brand retailer Extra Butter has these new Melo signatures a few days early so head there to ensure your own pair now, or get one in advance from eBay.

Six years ago, 1% of the world's population had smartphones. This year, the number will hit 27%. It will continue rising for years to come, but the growth rate in sales is about to start slipping, according to a recent analysis by JPMorgan. This year, shipments will rise 37%. Next year: 17%.

HIGH-END PHONES WILL face two headwinds in coming years. The first is that the saturation level is greatest in markets that can best afford them. It will hit 72% in the U.S. this year, reckons JPMorgan. As manufacturers find fewer first-time smartphone buyers, they will have to rely more on upgrades from existing customers. The second headwind is that the number of pressing reasons for upgrades may dwindle. Displays and cameras already have reached resolutions that satisfy even finicky users. LTE, the high-speed data technology, is driving plenty of upgrades now, but it's now fast enough for video chats and movie streaming, so the next speed jump might not be as necessary. Near-field communications chips may one day allow phones to replace credit cards, but not without much more effort on the part of merchants and payment processors.
That leaves the possibility that smartphone makers will have to increasingly appeal on price as much as on features, which in turn could drive down profit margins. Wall Street predicts that Apple's operating margin will slide to 27% over the next four years, from 35% last year. Long-term investors should do fine. The cash-stuffed company trades at just 10 times projected earnings for its current fiscal year, which runs through September. It has a dividend yield of 2.3% and can afford to double its payment. But in the short term, Apple may face a choice between offering lower-price models to fuel growth or sticking with the high end to preserve margins. "We think the earnings estimates will have to come down," warns William Power, a wireless analyst at Robert W. Baird.
Samsung, at eight times this year's earnings forecast, makes much more than smartphones. But two-thirds of its operating profits come from mobile devices, and its vast manufacturing reach means it makes more of its phone innards in-house than Apple. "It can manage costs proactively," says George Greig, an investment strategist at William Blair. It also has a mix of exposure; it makes high-end phones, but also midrange ones. Growth prospects in the midrange are better, especially in emerging markets, says Power. That means that while Samsung's margins are only about half those of Apple, they also may be less at risk in the near term.
AMONG CHIP MAKERS, Qualcomm sells baseband chips and processors, including lucrative ones that power the latest smartphones, while Broadcom specializes in less-expensive connectivity chips and components for midrange phones. One threat to chip producers is that handset companies might seek cost savings by making more components in-house. If that happens, the costlier chips made by Qualcomm are a bigger target. Broadcom's reputation for aggressive pricing, meanwhile, should help it gain market share as handset makers become more cost-conscious.
Verizon and AT&T have steady cash flows and big dividend yields. But they look fully priced, Verizon at 16 times this year's earnings estimates and AT&T at 14 times. Look instead to Vodafone, which sells for 10 times earnings. It has exposure to Europe, whose economy is recovering more slowly than that of the U.S., but whose smartphone penetration is barely half as high. And it has a 45% stake in Verizon Wireless. The market places no value on that stake, wrote hedge-fund manager David Einhorn in his letter to shareholders last month, and "it wouldn't surprise us if Verizon decided to buy all of VOD to gain full ownership of Verizon Wireless."

Instead, consider OmniVision, a dominant maker of camera chips for phones. Those chips cost only a couple of dollars, low enough to keep most manufacturers from developing their own. And revenue growth is expected to remain at double-digit rates in coming years as camera specs in today's high-end phones eventually make their way to low-end ones. And OmniVision shares go for only 12 times earnings.
