Everywhere: All good Clubs around town
As i have been travelling quite a bit as well, and got quite annoyed by the lack of clubguides here is my personal one. It should cover most of the Nightclubs in and around the city.
If you want to have the address of each club just google it and you will find it.
My personal favourite is the ROK (see description pretty far down)
Roadhouse: More a bar than a nightclub but very fun nevertheless, you will always find heaps of people there and the music has a big variety. Good beer and always fun people at this place.
Dresscode: None
Das Schwarze Schaf: still a bar but with quite a big area to dance. Perfect for a thursday night since it has usually it's 2 for 1 evening then. Music is something i would call mainstream dance music.
Dresscode: Well wear clean clothes.
Casablance: Pretty much the same as the "schwarze schaf" has an oriental touch though.. Fun to go there.
Dresscode: as in the schwarze schaf
Pravda Dance club: Calls itself the number one Danceclub, well for my part i dont like it there too much. The Music is usually mainstream/Urban/Blackmusic/House. A lot of young people with the Wallet of their parents, give it a try it could be fun nevertheless.
Dresscode: Smart casual
Vegas Dance club: It's outside of town and pretty much like the Pravda. Location pretty good but if you're male without a female companion chances are quite big that you won't be allowed to enter. (this may apply for the pravda as well)
The Penthouse: Situated in the topfloor this Bar/club is usually crowded as on the weekends, Music is usually house. You will have a pretty fun night there and you will be able to enjoy some very nice drinks.
Dresscode: Casual
Opera Club: Usually free entry, very nice location. Music somewhere around house/electro. Most of the Locals wouldnt recommend this place because, well how can i say it, there is a reason why the drinks are so cheap. Lots of people who in my eyes are not really fun to hang out with. Have a look how it is, most locals would only go there completly wasted.
Dresscode: Wear pants and shoes
Tunnel Club: Quite neat location, has 3 seperate bars, and when theyre all open usually 2 different DJ's. Music usually somewhere around Electro/Minimal/Techno. Usually fun to go there, very peaceful crowd and good atmosphere.
Dresscode: Just clean clothes
Bar 59: Quite fun place with two rooms, one is just a humangas bar, and the other one quite a big area for dancing. Music goes from DnB/reggae/hiphop to rock. Legendary are the roller skate parties. Check it out, have a good time.
Dresscode: Well be yourself
Schüür: Big place for concerts or shows, they have usually their own labels who organise quite fun parties, has a very big outdoor area and in winter something like an igloo outside. Usually a lot of people there, lovley place to spend a night. Music differs from house, rock to hiphop and sometimes even goa.
Dresscode: whatever
Casineum (club inside the grand casino): Quite a fun Club, a veryvery big smokersbar/lounge and a very big Dance-area. Music somewhere around House/Electro. Just take care that if you had a couple drinks you catch the right door and dont lose all your money inside the nextdoor casino.
Dresscode: smart casual
ROK: Hotspot in Lucerne, Acts from the electro-scene and other really fun parties. Sometimes they even make a dancefloor on the toilets (it's called switzerlands smalles dancefloor), well anyway very fun Place to be my personal favourite. Also try the afterhour here from 4am on weekends.. quite popular at the locals.
Dresscode: Casual
The Loft: I would call it the Dancepalace, usually in this club it's about danceing rather than mingle and drinking. Music somewhere from House to Reggaeton.
Dresscode: Casual
Last but not least of my list is the Sedel:
It is quite far outside of town so you will need a taxi (from the center around 20CHF), the location is a 3 story former jail. There you find either Metal and Rock parties or on the other hand Raving Minimal and Techno parties, if you are addicted to Techno and like to party till sunday lunch, this is the place to be for you. But check the program before you go there to avoid disappointment.
Of course i know i havent covered all Clubs and by farfar not every Bar but i hope i could give you guys a quick overlook on whats on.

Stadtkeller Musik Restaurant: Swiss Folklore Show
A visit to Switzerland is not complete without attending a Swiss folklore show. It is a very touristy thing to do, but in Switzerland, you must experience the song and dance of the Alpine region. In Lucerne, there are a few establishments which put up the Swiss folklore show complete with a typical Swiss fondue dinner. The Stadtkeller in the Old Town is one of the more famous establishments. Start off the evening with a delicious dinner of Swiss fondue and rosti accompanied by fine Swiss wines. The Swiss folklore show consists of yodelling, alpine horn blowing and flag throwing.
Dress Code: Smart casual. Reservations are essential.

Townhall Brewery (orig.: Rathaus Brauerei): enough to drink
Actually the brewery is more a restaurant than a bar/club. But if you plan to have a long night, this place might be perfect for the "warmup". The Brewery has his own beer (very delicious!) and several good meals.
Old and young, poor and rich people sit next to each other and enjoy the friendly mood around the Chapelbridge and the Reuss river.
Dress Code: No dress code
Schüür/Schuur: Having a good time
One of the most enjoyable and biggest nightclubs of Lucerne. First of all, the Schüür has a big comfortable outside-area (with seats, a drink-bar, lounge, table football and a pool with a water wheel).
It includes also a bar inside of the spot where several DJ's play different music and enough space to dance.
Last but not least, it has a concert room(including one more bar) where different Artists from all over the world show their liveskills. This room is also used for partys.
Keep getting informed what kind of party is getting on - there are a lot of completly different parties/events - from British(brit-pop/rock night), to electro meets indie clash, to Hotshots (hiphop - !very young age present!), to 80s party, to readings. They have the right programm for everyone!
Dress Code: No dress code

Casineum: Rockin' Place
If you are interested to enjoy the saturday evening. Than you have to go to the Casineum. It's the place to be. The music is every saturday different. It depends what kind of party it is. It goes from Electronic, Partytunes, House to R&B.
If you are lucky, you got access to the memberzone. It's a nice gallery where you can go out to a balcon. You have a nice view over the lake of lucerne.

The Loft: Lucerne's trendiest nightspot
This is the place where all the youngsters in Lucerne go for their weekend entertainment. I found the atmosphere to be good and the music modern. The drinks are slightly more expensive than in the pub as you might expect.
Dress Code: No special requirements.
- Romantic Travel and Honeymoons
Walk around Lucern at Night
Lucerne is a city where it is easy and safe to walk about. When you see Lucerne by daylight, it is a thriving and active commercial and tourist center. People are busy hurrying along in their lives.
But at night, the charm of Lucerne is aglow and the mellow tones of ancient buildings bathed in amber-colored lights beckon your hidden romantic senses and create an ambiance that is calming and peaceful.
Go on, walk about, and let your senses enjoy some freedom from the hubbub of everyday life. Breathe in the brisk mountain and lake air. Listen to the river rush past the ancient bridge pilings on its way to its fate many miles away. Watch the couples strolling and enjoying the night together. Listen to the laughter of happy teenagers as they congregate to socialize. Listen to all of the various night sounds as they sooth your weary soul and reenergize your depleted energy reserves.
Lucerne can do it, try it!
Dress Code: Casual at night unless you are going to a really nice restaurant and/or nightclub.
- Romantic Travel and Honeymoons
- Seniors
- Family Travel
moving at night
Luzern's nightlife scene is active, with plenty of arts centres and music venues around the Old Town and the rest of the city. There are two places to check flyers: Doo-Bop, Brandgässli 8, is a dance music shop with plenty of information about events in Luzern; while Romp, Denkmalstrasse 17, is an "info-shop" at the centre of Luzern's squat culture, with music, flyers and contacts for all kinds of alternative activities around and about. The Stattkino, Baselstrasse 15, is an arthouse cinema with a varied daily programme of world cinema, plenty of it in English.

Roadhouse, Das schwarze Schaf, P1, Max: MacDonaldo
Right next to the Trainstation you ll find in the Building that also keeps the MacDonalds, about 4 Bars/Clubs wher there are a lot of young People at weekends havin a good time.
The ROADHOUSE is a EnglishBar where there ar often Live Music. Quite Popular at the Moment.
P1 is in the Penthouse of the Hotel and gives an amazing view over the city ant the Lake. Also often LiveMusic. Go to the Lobby of the Hotel and take the lift up to the Top.
SCHAF/MAX ar also quite Popular and well crowded at weekends. My favorites out of these 4.
All this clubs charge no entry fee and the prices for the beers and drinks are if you compare with other clubs quite low.
Dress Code: normal or a little bit chiq. Streetstyle-Hiphoppers are rarely seen as well as punks and stuff like that.
all over the city: wander about
Lucerne is a wonderful city for strolling and wondering about, and the best time to do it is at night, when it's all lit up. You should walk the pedestrain area and then head down for the riverside: with the lights it feels like you've landed in a fairytale. A walk not to miss is across the chapel bridge: you'll often find several excellent street musicians performing there.
Dress Code: Anything - but possibly dressed
By the time I had walked to the hostel twice, all round town, on top of a mountain, round town again and eaten, I was not feeling like the world's most energized party goer. I decided to do something more relaxing and decided to head for a wine bar. Unfortunately the first one was closed so I tried out the second which was across the bridge from most of the restaurants. I would recommend going there if you are in the same mood and want a relaxing atmosphere, it was really nice with seats outside to watch the sunset. (Name to follow). They do a great lemon sorbet topped with limoncello liquer! After that (against my better judgement as I try to avoid noisy drunken British tourists on holidays) I popped over to the British pub/hotel which wasn't that bad and had a small beer. That was the end of my Lucerne nightlife as by the time I got back to the hostel I was so exhausted I didn't get further than the common room downstairs.

Chipotles Sofritas Now Available Throughout South
Last week, the Mexican food chains wildly successful vegan filling debuted in nine states.
Chipotle's vegan Sofritas is now available in nine states throughout the South, including Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Florida, and Tennessee. The tofu, poblano pepper, and chili filling was first introduced to patrons in Northern California in 2013; its instant popularity prompted the fast-casual restaurant to expand its vegan outreach and add Sofritas to menus throughout the Golden State. Before long, Sofritas was served throughout the Pacific Northwest, and then three months later, they made their East Coast premiere in Washington, DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston, and Richmond, VA. Chipotle believes that the plant-based filling will appeal to people of all dietary persuasions. "We aren't looking for markets with more vegetarians necessarily because we believe that Sofritas is appealing to vegetarians and vegans and has crossover appeal," said Chipotle's publicist Danielle Winslow to the Washington Post. Just last week, VegNews' Associate Publisher, Colleen Holland, took a behind-the-scenes tour of Chipotle's tofu supplier, Hodo Soy.

So today I had a Belhaven Wee Heavy.
I must say that I like.
I really enjoyed the Malty Flavor.
I have been on an IPA kick recently.. this was a nice change of pace.
In the future, I will need to maintain space in the BeerFRIDGE of Doom for this style.
So you like a wee heavy?? Brew one! here is a killer recipe:Yummy
thanks for the recipes.
Just need more time to brew and life would be perfect.
Next try Traquair House (probably the standard to which all others are judged)
You're in Northern California. You can probably find a Moylan's Kilt Lifter at BevMo.

Paul Chalifoux
Paul Chalifoux is a politician and the former mayor of St. Albert, Alberta, He has served two terms as mayor, first one having taken place from 1998 to 2001 and the second from 2004 to 2007.
Chalifoux's first attempt at winning elected office was in the 1968 federal election, when he ran for the Liberal Party of Canada in the riding of Pembina. He finished a distant second to Progressive Conservative Jack Bigg.
Before serving as mayor, Chalifoux was a city alderman and the assistant principal of St. Albert Catholic High School.[1] In 1998, he defeated three-term incumbent Anita Ratchinsky in an election whose major issue was the alignment of the proposed West Regional Road. Ratchinsky favoured a road that would bypass the developed portion of the city to the west by crossing the Sturgeon River close to the mouth of Big Lake, while Chalifoux supported an alignment that would cross the river further upstream.
During Chalifoux's time as mayor, the road remained St. Albert's most contentious political issue. City Council approved Chalifoux's preferred alignment, by this time named Ray Gibbon Drive. However, an aggressive public relations campaign by the Riel Park Business Association, which did not like the way the proposed road would pass through Riel Business Park, and a group calling itself S.E.N.S.I.B.L.E. Choice, attacked the alignment. In the 2001 election, Chalifoux was defeated by former mayor Dr. Richard Plain, who favoured the same alignment as Ratchinsky and proposed a plebiscite on the subject.
Chalifoux challenged Plain again in 2004, campaigning this time on issues other than the road, saying that "it [was] time to move on".[2] He won narrowly.[1] On May 22, 2007, Chalifoux announced that he would not seek re-election (and, in so doing, provoke a third consecutive electoral battle against Plain) and would instead seek the nomination for the Progressive Conservatives in the next provincial election.[3] Some perceived this as ironic given his past candidacy for the federal Liberals and given that he had inadvertently implicated the City of St. Albert in a minor scandal when he attended a fundraiser for the Alberta Liberal Party at the city's expense, which violated provincial law.[4] Chalifoux acknowledges that he has been a member of the Liberal Party at both the provincial and federal levels at various points in his life, but claims that it has been more than a decade since his last provincial membership expired.[5] He was defeated on the first ballot by former aldermanic colleague Ken Allred.[6]
Chalifoux is a member of the Rotary Club[7] and is a practising Catholic. His late son, Rick Chalifoux, was a prominent educator and advocate on HIV/AIDS issues.

GE single double wall oven
Posted this question in appliance forum, but have not gotten any responses so I figured I might get some responses here. I am just wondering if anyone has opinions, experience/knows anyone, who has the GE Profile single/double wall oven and what they think of it.
I have the GE profile single/double oven. We love it. We use the small top oven 90% of the time.
The fan was loud when we first installed the oven. I was really beside myself, as the kitchen is open to our family room, and I could not stand the sound of the fan. It was loud and had a bit of a whine to it.
I called GE and they initially said that everyone has different sensitivities to sound, but then they had me turn it on and let them listen to it over the phone. They said it sounded too loud and sent someone out to fix it. Now it is great.
The fan can be a real issue, as it runs whenever the oven is on and for a while after turning it off.
I had checked to make sure I did not have to use convection, because I did not want a fan running all the time, but as it turns out, even for traditional baking, the fan runs to keep the electronics cool.
This is not unique to this oven, it seems that most new ovens are like that today.
I would appreciate hearing from others who purchased the ge single-double wall oven. Do you recommend it? Thank you.
We installed one in January of this year and have really been enjoying it. We're a family of 3 and almost never entertain, so we did not want 2 full size ovens, but we did want the ability to bake at 2 different temperatures at the same time. That has been great. When we are only making one dish, we just use the small top oven. Both ovens preheat rapidly and are true to temperature. I like how the shorter doors allow you to do less leaning in and over a large hot oven door.
I agree with one of the previous posters that the fans are a bit loud. All my previous ovens were basic entry-level ranges, no fans that I ever noticed, so that has been a new thing for us to get used to. It is not so noticeable now after a few months of daily use.
We did have a problem that seems to be relatively common with this particular model (at least as far as I could tell from googling). When baking at higher temperatures, we'd get an error alarm and have to shut it down. The common cause of this error is a some kind of break in the fan housing or sensor, but that turned out not to be our issue. As we were waiting on service to figure out the problem, it worsened to the point that this happened all the time and the oven was unusable. Ultimately they replaced the entire computer system of the oven, and that solved the problem. The guys who did the final fix told us that they work on these ovens frequently and that the problem we had is very uncommon. Since then, it has worked beautifully and we're really happy with it.

The Space
Cosy B&B on the Dingle Peninsula, with great mountain views. Close to the Dingle Way, and the beaches of Brandon Bay and Inch. All rooms ensuite and with tea and coffee making facilities. Large gardens with organic fruit and vegetables.
Breakfast is between 8am and 10 am.
Guest Access
Their bedrooms and lounge and dining room area. Kitchen is private. Thank you.
Interaction with Guests
I chat away to guests as much as they like.
I offer information about the surrounding area and answer any questions
The Neighborhood
The B and B is situated in the country side just 5 kilometres from Camp village on the Dingle Peninsula. The Dingle way hiking trail is out the back of the house and goes all the way around the Peninsula.
The B and B is in a quiet location where its best to drive to the nearest pub/restaurant. You can walk but it will take 40 minutes but only 5 minutes by car.
Getting around
There is a 2 hourly bus service. The bus will stop right outside the B and B. It runs from Tralee to Dingle.
Rachel and her daughter were so hospitable and nice to get to know. When we arrived, Rachel made us tea. We had gotten lost and so we were so sleepy and the tea and warm fire were nice. It was in a pretty rural location so if some wanted to be close to the city, it will be a little drive to Dingle or elsewhere.
The food was delicious in the morning- she even made us bacon and pancakes although I'm not sure that is typical. It was a pleasant surprise!
Was a little chilly so bring warm clothing when you sleep.
I'm sorry you were a bit chilly guys. I did notice in your room that the radiator had been turned off (i'm guessing you had turned the dial the wrong way and turned it off) as the heating for the house was on. I hope too that you used the blankets provided.
My site does say I'm 25 minutes from Dingle so usually guests book with me who want to rest up in the peace and quiet of the country side. The village of Camp is a short 5 minute drive where you can find 4 pubs.
I do often offer pancakes to other guests and am pleased that you enjoyed them.
Hope to see you again. Happy adventuring!
C'était parfait
Rachel est très conviviale, très disponible et très à l'aise dans son rôle d'hôtesse airbnb
Petits déjeuners complets et terriblement savoureux, cuisinés et servis avec grâce par Rachel
La chambre superbe, très confortable et avec vue sur les montagnes
La région juste sublime, j'ai parcouru la péninsule de Kerry en long en large et en travers, que de belles images, même pour une fin novembre parfois pluvieuse et nuageuse dans cette région
We enjoyed our stay at Mon Lauer. Rachel was very welcoming and cooked us up some us some great breakfasts! She was also able to recommend places to go for dinner and some traditional music.
Moan Laur is in a beautiful location and the bedroom was fantastic - a view of the hills, very comfortable bed and bedding, and a lovely ensuite bathroom, complete privacy. It is a stunning 25 minute drive to Dingle, the Junction Pub in Camp has really great food and is a 5 minute drive. Rachel is a lovely host, very accommodating, helpful, great breakfasts and a beautiful home.
Rachel was a great host and very welcoming. Our room was clean and a good size with a lovely view of the mountain behind. We enjoyed our stay. Rachel had left out breakfast with a great selection of cereals, fruit and milk.
Rachel was a fantastic host!! We had a bit of a mix-up (our mistake) with our booking but she was very patient and understanding!! The house and room were lovely and the view was beautiful!! It was a very large room and we had our own bathroom!! We were made to feel very welcome!!
This host has 104 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
Hi I've been living on the Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland for the last 11 years.
I'm originally from the UK , but gave up the corporate lifeIn Brighton to run a Bed and Breakfast. I have one daughter who is 9 years old born in 2005.
The Bed and Breakfast is in the country side with mountain views. Its 25 minutes drive to Dingle town, and 40 minutes to Killarney and 40 minutes drive from Kerry Airport.
There is a regular bus service which will operate from outside of the Bed and Breakfast, you just have to hold out your hand and the bus will stop.
There is a petrol station in my closest village (3 miles/5 Kilometres) which houses a mini super market, cafe, ATM and launderette.
Ashes bar in the village serves great food as does the Junction pub. On a Sunday night at 7pm the Junction provides traditional Irish music - which is always good fun.
I'm a sociable, chatty and warm person who loves getting to know people from all over the world. The house is my own home so I like my guests to also feel at home. I'm a relaxed person but like fun times too.
My daughter has been raised in the Bed and Breakfast and as she is on her own, loves it when other kids come to stay.
I enjoy reading, socializing with friends, skiing, horse riding, movies and running the B&B.
You only live once so do it with no regrets and to the full.
Look forward to meeting you.

Another day, another tour. This time I have come to the Blue Lagoon on the tiny island of Comino, famous for its clear turquoise waters. Frankly, I am bored out of my mind. Though others are swimming amongst clumps of jellyfish that are fading from royal blue to blue-gray as they die and wash up on the postage stamp beach, the water is too cold for me.
An hour after completing an hour hike along the cliff tops, I have commandeered the only patch of shade in sight, to sit and write while I await the return of my boat back to Malta. Trash is scattered over the sand around my feet: piles of cigarette butts; napkins, plastic cups, and straws from the food trucks that shuttered and drove away at 4:30 p.m. In front of me, a row of green plastic trash bins overflows with the detritus of the day.

After a few days of dodging incessant traffic and fighting pedestrians on cramped sidewalks on the island of Malta, I was in need of some serenity, so I hopped over to Gozo for the day. I felt the shift the moment I stepped off the ferry. Rather than breezes saturated with the smell of stale beer, on Gozo the air was sweet and fresh. Instead of drunks staggering around in the wee hours, tourists on Gozo had flocked to sidewalk cafes to enjoy breakfast and cappuccino in the brilliant morning sunshine.
Our van made its way around the island as tour guide, Terry Spiteri, entertained us with stories about Gozitan culture and local traditions.
"Keep your eyes peeled for houses with keys in the front door. This is a long-standing tradition on Gozo. Some say it began during World War II, when the men were away from home fighting for long periods of time. Wives left the keys in the door so that husbands could come home any time of the day or night. Others insist that the women took lovers because the men were away so much, and the key was left in the lock so their paramours could enter as soon as their husbands returned to the battlefield."

Nothing defines the culture on the Maltese Islands more than religion. Life revolves around the neighborhood Catholic churches and once a year, a massive feast is held to honor the patron saint of each church. Festivities start in the spring, and throughout the spring, summer, and fall, there is a feast nearly every weekend, somewhere on the islands.
During my visit, the Feast of St. Publius was scheduled in Floriana, the city adjacent to Malta's capital of Valletta. On Sunday morning, I hopped a bus to Floriana, arriving early in the afternoon, before any of the official activities had begun. Huge red pennants, elaborately embroidered in gold, hung above every street, marking the route of the parade that would step off later in the afternoon. Families clustered around tall tables set out in the streets, sipping espresso and snacking on appetizers, while men congregated at the tabernas. Read More
Rocks, rocks, and more rocks. Everywhere I looked, Malta's indigenous wheat-colored limestone dominated the landscape. Roads, houses, hospitals, government buildings, shops, and forts were crafted from the monotonous sedimentary rock, as if the island had regurgitated its innards into piles that masons crafted into structures on the spot.
I was puzzled by the poor condition of many buildings. Edges of the blocks were eroding and pock marks were wearing into the face of the unsealed limestone. Wooden balconies slumped from the facade, in imminent danger of collapse. But as I toured the cities and countryside of Malta, a historic view emerged that reversed my initial impression.
The earliest structures to be built of the endemic stone were pre-Bronze Age temples and underground sanctuaries. After several hundred years under Phoenician and Carthaginian rule, for which there is no remaining architectural record, the Romans arrived in 218 BC. For 1,100 years they embellished buildings with cornices, columns, and decorative tablets, and filled their homes with statuary, all carved from the local limestone. Read More
The questions started the moment I announced I was fleeing corporate life to travel the world. It's dangerous out there; aren't you worried about traveling alone? How will you stay in touch? And how will you support yourself? I wasn't afraid and knew I would be able to stay in touch, but I had no answers regarding income. I just knew that I'd dreamed of being a travel writer and photographer since childhood, and I couldn't let one more day pass without attempting to make that dream come true.
Nearly eight years later, I've managed to achieve my goal, and the longer I'm at this, the more people want to know how I do it. For most, the question of money is at the top of the list. It's a question over which all travel bloggers struggle. People are always surprised to learn that our blogs are not a major source of income. Instead, we've tapped into other talents and experience to earn the money needed to support our travels and our blogs. We run tour companies; consult in public relations, internet security, and social media; are public speakers; design websites and apps; and are technical writers; all jobs that can be done anywhere in the world that offers reliable Internet access. But far and away, the most popular means of earning money while traveling is by teaching English.
While I've never considered teaching English, when ElanGuest English Language School in Malta invited me to visit their school, I realized it would be an opportunity to provide readers with a behind-the-scenes look at teaching English as a second language (ESL). The three tiny specs in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea that comprise the Maltese Islands are among the world's most popular destinations for learning English. Along with Maltese, English is an official language of Malta and most residents speak it fluently. Read More
In 1693, an earthquake decimated eight towns in an area known as Vall di Noto in southeast Sicily. In some cases, the damage was so severe that the original towns could not be rescued. It was decided that one of these, Noto, would be rebuilt five miles closer to the sea, at the foot of the Iblean Mountains. The Catholic Church, which by that time had decreed that paintings and sculptures should be designed in a way that would speak to the illiterate, saw the reconstruction of Noto as a unique opportunity to design and build a town from scratch. The top planners of the day mapped out streets that crossed each other either at right angles, while architects designed private and public buildings embellished with beautiful ornamentation that later came to be known as Baroque.
Today, a stroll down Via Vittorio Emanuele, the main street in Noto, leads visitors past churches, government buildings, palaces, fountains, statues, and theaters, all studded with an orgy of cherubs, grotesquely grinning masks, marble columns, wrought-iron balconies, and belfrys. The buildings were constructed of a soft, honey-color tufa stone that absorbs the brilliant Sicilian sun throughout the day and emits it at sunset. With stone blocks decorated in leaves, flowers, fish scales, and shells, the effect is one of a giant golden wedding cake. Read More

Lights up on Cecilia's house. Framing the white house is one single, lovely rose. Oh, beauty. How fleeting and rare it is to catch a glimpse of you. Because in the very next shot are Simon and Cecilia. Two uggos if ever there were uggos. I think that at some point this season, when no one was looking, Simon became a man. Maybe he didn't tell anyone, like how Ruthie didn't tell any of her huge family that she started bleeding last week. I mean, Simon looks bigger, his hair is darker, and those sideburns he's sporting look like they want to pick a fight with his eyebrows. Seriously, those sideburns could beat up Jason Priestley and Elvis if they wanted to. Is Simon moonlighting as a Neil Diamond impersonator? Or does he have a gig during hiatus as an awesomely bad hair model for an ironic coffee table book? Anyway, like anyone cares, Simon and Cecilia are fighting about prom. Yes, what about prom, Simon. What! About! Prom! Say it. Just say it. I want to hear you say it! Simon is taking, um, what's her face. Xtina. The girl Lucy had a class with once and let move into her home, who then seduced Simon and bent his will, apparently no stronger than a plastic fork near a campfire, to make him take her to prom. Which Cecilia didn't even want to go to, for her own stupid reasons. But now, she's mad. At Simon, and at Xtina. Want to say it with me? Shut up, Cecilia. Doesn't that feel good?
The newest little bleeder in Glenoak, a.k.a. Ruthie, strolls into her room with her honking box of expensive tampons (remember, they were $7.49?) and thanks Peter for going with her. Wait, isn't he going to show her how to insert them? No lecture on toxic shock syndrome? What about a gentle reminder to start with deodorant? Saint Peter says she should tell her family. Ruthie snaps that he should mind his own business. What a bitch. He sighs spinelessly. When she apologizes, he says that "it's an emotional time, no apology is necessary." Wow, he's whipped before he even got laid! Way to go, Peter's mom.
Lucy bites her nails and studies her calendar. You know something I love about this show? The lack of story arc over the season has made it incredibly easy for me to pick up in place of Cate and recap with ease. I mean, this is the season finale. Eric had major surgery and was out of work for months; he even had a huge spiritual crisis about it. He was über-jealous of his replacement, Chandler...Hampton. And Lucy was jealous of Roxanne's proximity to Kevin. But this week, the season ender, is all about shit that started up last week. Nice arc-ing, Brenda. Not. Anyway, when Lucy hears Kevin stomping up the stairs, she jumps a mile and hides the calendar in her desk, all to goofy music. When Kevin offers her a weekend's worth of dating options, she says she just needs some time to herself. Kevin shuffles off robotically, and Lucy calls Mary, who is in the air and "will call back when [she's] on the ground." Lucy hangs up and bites her nails some more.
Chandler...Hampton is on the phone with Roxanne. Wow, we haven't even hit the credits yet and we've got two phone conversations under our collective hypothetical belts. Chandler is stuck in Kansas. He was en route to see his dad. And he never should have sent Eric to talk to him on his behalf. What? Last week Chandler acted like Eric just went off on his own! Oh, who cares.

This Date In Baseball
July 7
1923 — Lefty O'Doul, pitching for the Boston Red Sox, allowed 13 runs in the sixth inning to the Cleveland Indians, who won 27-3. In 1928, he was to return to the majors as a great hitting outfielder.
1936 — The NL won its first All-Star game 4-3 at Braves Field in Boston.
1937 — Lou Gehrig drove in four runs with a home run and a double to pace the AL to an 8-3 victory over the NL in the All-Star game at Washington's Griffith Stadium. In attendance was President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
1959 — At Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, the first of two All-Star games played that season went to the NL, 5-4. The NL scored the tying and winning runs in the bottom of the eighth when Hank Aaron singled in a run and scored on a triple by Willie Mays.
1964 — The NL beat the AL 7-4 in the All-Star game on Johnny Callison's two-out, three-run homer off Dick Radatz in the bottom of the ninth inning at New York's Shea Stadium. The win pulled the NL even with its rivals (17-17-1) for the first time since the series began.
1982 — Harold Baines of Chicago hit three successive home runs, including a grand slam, to lead the White Sox to a 7-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers.
1998 — Coors Field lived up to its billing as a hitter's haven as the American League beat the Nationals 13-8 at Coors Field in the highest-scoring All-Star game in major league history. The 21 runs broke the record set in the AL's 11-9 win in 1954.
2003 — Shea Hillenbrand had his first three-homer game — tying a major league record by homering in three consecutive innings — and drove in seven runs as Arizona beat Colorado 14-6.
2004 — Kazuhisa Ishii pitched a one-hitter in Los Angeles' 11-0 victory over Arizona. Ishii retired his first 12 batters before giving up a leadoff walk in the fifth to Luis Gonzalez and a line single by Shea Hillenbrand. No one else reached base against Ishii, who went the distance for the second time in 72 starts.
2006 — Cleveland Indians designated hitter Travis Hafner became the first player in major league history to hit five grand slams before the All-Star break when he connected in the second inning of a 9-0 win over Baltimore.
2008 — Hiroki Kuroda of the Los Angeles Dodgers pitched seven perfect innings before giving up a double to Mark Teixeira in the eighth inning. Teixeira was the only baserunner allowed by Kuroda in his 91-pitch complete game 3-0 win over Atlanta.
2009 — Paul Konerko hit three home runs, including a go-ahead grand slam in the sixth inning, to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 10-6 win over Cleveland.
2009 — Alan Embree earned the win in Colorado's 5-4 victory over Washington without throwing a pitch. He entered with two outs in the eighth and picked off Austin Kearns, who had singled off Joel Peralta. It was the first time a major leaguer had gotten a win without throwing a pitch since B.J Ryan for Baltimore at Detroit on May 1, 2003.

She and her husband moved here in 1987 when her younger son, Lee, began medical school at UC Irvine, paid for by the hard-earned profits from a liquor store in Arcadia the couple decided to buy and run for five years.
Five years to the day, they sold the store and left. Lee came with them to Irvine while he went to school.
The signs of his gratitude are there – the oxygen machine and a motorized chair for the stairs in front of the apartment.
"My son doesn't want me to think about assisted living," Kaaren said.
She's never needed much help before. After Lee graduated and moved out, Kaaren went to the senior center and found another family to take care of, approaching work at the center the same as at the movie house.
"Do your job, and that's it," she said.
In the kitchen three days a week preparing and packaging meals for seniors at the center and Meals on Wheels clients, Kaaren made friends quickly including becoming best friends with another woman in her 70s.
"They were like little rocks next to me," May said.
But chronic diabetes and swollen legs and ankles from a leaky heart valve finally forced the tenacious worker to stay home. After congestive heart failure three years ago and two blood transfusions in April, the motherly figure who prepared meals for hundreds of others can no longer make it to the grocery store.
Instead, she relies on the low-sodium, sugar-free meals she once prepared for Meals on Wheels. Her penchant for befriending much younger people has kept her social life going strong, but for many other homebound seniors in the program, the drivers also provide a daily checkup and someone to chat with.
"They're cute," Kaaren said.
Her doctors say she can do everything she did before, but at a slower pace. She smiles cheekily when she explains how many naps she takes each day – a well-deserved chance to rest for the teenager who survived a war, the occupation, family loss and moving thousands of miles away from her hometown.
Bringing home a point, she asks me how old she is. I tell her.
"88," she repeats with a fist pump.

Pantone's Colour of the Year is Marsala, and no matter how many times people write about it, I always misread Marsala as Masala. (Perhaps it's because I'm absolutely in love with Indian food.)
Marsala is described as an earthy reddish brown that's flattering on a variety of skin tones.
While dramatic, it's also grounding because of its warmth and sophistication. This is why Marsala is a shade that's so appealing to many people.
(I have been watching 90210 episodes, and I'm loving it! To clarify, I'm talking about the original 90210 episodes that I grew up with when I was in elementary school, not the new version. So while watching 90210, I'm more into the 1990s vibe than ever before.)
As I get older, I'm learning to appreciate classic hues that withstand the test of time. Marsala is definitely a shade that can be sported any time and anywhere.
Yes, I'm a green fiend, so I loved it when the colour of year was emerald, but surprisingly, I'm more into the Marsala trend. Why? More people can comfortably sport it, and there's a wide arena of colour interpretation.
Marsala can be dark or neutral, which means that if you're going for a vampy or natural look, it fits the bill.
In this post, I highlight a few makeup items that fall within the Marsala colour scheme.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took a day – interviewed at Intrexon in August 2011.Interview Details
Hiring process consisted of a phone screen, then brought down to Blacksburg for an interview. I rather enjoyed the discussion with the hiring manager, and three other technical guy. At the time, I was told that I'd be the first QA Engineer/Tester they had ever hired. That was a rather exciting idea at the time. The location was a good one. I was rather sold on the position. I felt that my experience and ideas would be valued with Intrexon.Interview Questions
Reasons for Declining
- What Best Practices do you use for testing? View Answer
After counter offering, I turned down the offer largely due to two reasons. One, benefits seemed to have higher deductibles than I was used to seeing so wanted to find a way to offset that initially. Secondly, while they were offering what appeared to be an opportunity at a reasonable bonus and 'stock options'. The inability to articulate how a tester, the first of his/her kind at their company would be rated for eligibility for said bonus compelled me to turn down the offer when they failed to come up high enough on the base salary.Declined OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview

I'm looking for a simple example how to create a DLL library on Windows with WxWidgets. I need use some wxWidgets API on DLL and it'll called from Delphi.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
A new sample showing one way of doing it was just added to wxWidgets itself recently, see http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxWidgets/trunk/samples/dll/
I think the easiest way is to install the free Visual C++ Express Edition, compile the DLL with that (Visual Studio project files are provided with WxWidgets). If it still works like in the old days, then you will also have to import the library for use in delphi with with the implib command.

Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Minister for Roads and Buildings Dharmana Prasada Rao, an accused in the case pertaining to alleged quid-pro-quo deals involving YSR Congress party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, on Tuesday appeared before a special CBI court in Hyderabad.
The minister and two senior IAS officers, also accused in the case appeared before the court of principal special judge for CBI cases which had earlier summoned them after taking cognisance of the fourth charge sheet filed against Rao and senior bureaucrats - Manmohan Singh and M Samuel - besides the Kadapa MP.
The court had also directed all the 14 accused named in the chargesheet to appear before it.
The case pertains to VANPIC case that involved quid-pro-quo deals between Jagan Mohan Reddy and AP Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao.
The charge sheet pertains to VANPIC project, whose promoter (industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad), allegedly invested Rs 854 crore in the companies belonging to Jagan towards a largesse for which the then AP government, led by late YS Rajasekhara Reddy, doled out many favours in the form of awarding the project.
Dharmana was named as accused number 5 in the Vanpic aspect of the Jagan assets case in the charge sheet that was filed before the trial court by the CBI on August 14. He was the revenue minister in the YSR regime between 2004-2009 including the period when the Vanpic project was conceived.
It was alleged that as revenue minister in 2008-09, "Dharmana Prasada Rao played a key role in fixing low market price for the Vanpic land and acted more in connivance with another accused Nimmagadda Prasad."
The minister has already submitted his resignation to Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, though it was yet to be accepted.

Directed by Charlie Chaplin. 1936. USA. 87 mins. Silent w/ musical accompaniment
The Little Tramp punches in and wigs out inside a factory where gizmos like an employee-feeding machine may someday make the lunch hour last just 15 minutes. Bounced into the ranks of the unemployed, he teams with a street waif (Paulette Goddard) to pursue bliss and a paycheck, finding misadventures as a roller-skating night watchman, a singing waiter whose hilarious song is gibberish, a jailbird, and more. In the end, as Tramp and waif walk arm in arm toward an insecure future, we know they've found neither bliss nor a paycheck but, more importantly, each other.—MK2 & Warner Bros.

Democracy advocate promotes e-citizenship skills
"New York City holds hearings online"
"Vote for change"
"Campaigning enters the Internet Age"
"E-democracy, e-mail and bloggers"
Steven Clift anticipates a day when all U.S. citizens will be able to actively engage in facilitated online discussions about local issues through a network of virtual communities nationwide. But that day might be 50 years away.
"I'm serious. Fifty years," Clift said.
The 35-year-old Minnesota native is an international expert on e-democracy. He said slow grass-roots efforts are needed to build citizen participation and discourse the skills of e-citizenship through the use of communications technologies.
In 1994, he formed the nonpartisan E-Democracy.org, which created one of the first election-oriented Web sites. It provided information on gubernatorial and U.S. Senate campaigns. After the success of that project, Clift built an online public forum in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The forum now has about 1,000 participants.
Pockets of online citizen discussions occur nationwide. But Clift is not naïve or even frustrated about the slow evolution of e-democracy, which has taken root more quickly in other parts of the world.
"Put this down, I'm from fly-over territory," he said, adding that few e-democracy initiatives have taken hold in the nation's heartland. But he has traveled to more than two dozen countries to speak to government officials and others about creating sustainable models and policies for e-democracy.
Last year, Clift went to Brussels, Belgium, to help wrap up a European Union conference on the topic. Then he offered a series of seminars in New Zealand and gave a keynote address to Australian government officials, who have created an intergovernmental e-democracy task force with federal, state and local members. He also visited Mongolia recently to help develop e-democracy policies.
Clift said most U.S. users of public forums are interested in online campaigning and advocacy. But those are only two aspects of e-democracy. U.S. government officials are way behind their foreign counterparts in using the Internet to reach out to the public and get feedback because they fear constituents will bombard them, he said. U.S. officials are "much more sensitive to political noise and probably because Americans are noisier than a lot of citizens in other countries," he said.
Carol Darr, director of George Washington University's Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet, said Clift has essentially created the model for local e-democracy with his work in Minnesota.
E-democracy, Darr said, is "where you're trying to get activists in a community to talk together and try to build a healthier and cohesive body politic at the local level, which Steve is most interested in."
Clift's work for Minnesota's online forum has attracted worldwide attention and dozens of invitations. The forum is moderated by volunteers and costs little to operate. Local politicians and members of the media monitor it. Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak used the online forum to announce his candidacy in 2001.
U.K. officials have enlisted Clift's expertise on projects to develop community Web logs, issues forums and Webcasts in several communities. Clift uses an open-source and Extensible Markup Language application called GroupServer, developed in New Zealand, which combines e-mail list and Web forum functions.
His goal is to have 1,000 online forum chapters worldwide in 10 years. He wants each chapter to be based on the network service model of the Rotary Club and Lions Club organizations.
Clift, who has an undergraduate degree in political science and worked as a congressional intern, was a graduate student at the University of Minnesota's Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs in the early 1990s when he received his first free Internet account.
"In about a week, I decided the Internet would be the most powerful medium in politics ever," he said. "I was wrong. Television is. But the Internet is the most powerful medium for political communication and organizing."
After graduate school, he worked for Minnesota's state government and helped design its first Web portal. At night, he hosted an online public forum. He left state government in 1998 to embark on a world tour, spending a month in Sweden giving speeches about e-democracy for the Swedish government and then traveling to the Netherlands.
During that time, Clift also worked for the Markle Foundation on initiatives promoting universal access to e-mail and online election information.
"What I discovered with technology and the Internet and politics is that it has to be incremental," he said. "You have to celebrate your small successes because momentum is more important than instant success."
Career highlights: Clift created E-Democracy.org, a nonpartisan and nonprofit organization, in 1994. Before that, he served as government online project coordinator for the Minnesota Office of Technology in the Administration Department and as executive director of the state Government Information Access Council. He worked on the Markle Foundation's E-mail for All initiative in 1998 and served as outreach coordinator for the foundation's Web White and Blue 2000 online election information project from 1998 to 2001.
Education: Clift has completed the coursework for a master's degree from the University of Minnesota's Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Winona State University in Minnesota.
Family: Married to Laurel, an E-Democracy.org volunteer.

The Comptroller General convened a forum in September 2002 to identify useful practices and lessons learned from major private and public sector mergers, acquisitions, and organizational transformations. This was done to help federal agencies implement successful transformations of their cultures, as well as the new Department of Homeland Security merge its various originating components into a unified department. There was general agreement on a number of key practices found at the center of successful mergers, acquisitions, and transformations. In this report, we identify the specific implementation steps for the key practices raised at the forum with illustrative private and public sector examples. To identify these implementation steps and examples, we relied primarily on interviews with selected forum participants and other experts about their experiences implementing mergers, acquisitions, and transformations and also conducted a literature review.
At the center of any serious change management initiative are the people. Thus, the key to a successful merger and transformation is to recognize the "people" element and implement strategies to help individuals maximize their full potential in the new organization, while simultaneously managing the risk of reduced productivity and effectiveness that often occurs as a result of the changes. Building on the lessons learned from the experiences of large private and public sector organizations, these key practices and implementation steps can help agencies transform their cultures so that they can be more results oriented, customer focused, and collaborative in nature.
