Srinivas Acharya, Managing Director of Sundaram BNP Paribas Home Finance Ltd., has asserted that the rising interest rate will not be a deterrent for any home buyer who genuinely seeks to own it. According to him, the hardening interest rate will only impact the decision of buyers who are speculative investors.
In an interaction with this correspondent here on Monday, Mr. Acharya felt that interest rate was one among the many instruments to contain inflation. Quoting Y. V. Reddy, former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, he said the interest rate "cannot remain perennially at the current level". He said he fully agreed with Mr. Reddy who had suggested that past increases in interest rate had not been fully transmitted to the economy.
Mr. Acharya said that "there are pockets of liquidity sitting in the market". He said that "liquidity pockets will, in fact, expand". The Government, he felt, would have to soon shift its focus to supply-side management to control inflation. He felt that the interest rate would have to head lower. This could happen in the next three quarters or so. The managing director said house owners as a percentage of total population remained in single digit in India.
Mr. Acharya said Sundaram BNP Paribas Home Finance would rapidly scale up to reach a disbursal level of Rs. 3,000 crore a year. For the current financial year, the company had set a disbursal target of Rs.1,800 crore. Last year, it disbursed loans worth Rs.1,210 crore. Currently the company had 51 offices in the South. This number would go up to 70 by the end of this financial year.
Acknowledging the support of its Indian parent, Sundaram Finance, he said the in-house legal and technical teams kept the company in good stead in the home finance market. Elaborating the pan-India aspiration, Mr. Acharya said Sundaram Home would adopt 'seeding approach' to establish its presence across the country.
He said the company had not set any target for securitisation. Last year, it did, however, securitise loans worth Rs.125 crore. "We might do (securitisation) Rs.125- 200 crore this year," he added. He said securitisation helped beef up capital adequacy ratio. "When you do securitisation, the portfolio gets rate. Once you do the rating, it becomes an ongoing exercise," he said. This helped Sundaram Home "to get noticed in the debt market and negotiate for better rates," he added. The company, he said, made a one-time provision of Rs.9.94 crore on teaser loans as mandated by the Reserve Bank of India. Sundaram Home, had appealed to National Housing Bank (NHB) to treat this provisioning arising out of teaser loans as Tier-2 capital. "We have not heard anything from NHB," he added. Notwithstanding this provision, the company made a profit after tax of Rs.48 crore. The average cost of funds stood at 9.3 per cent. The fund sources included term loans, NCDs (non-convertible debentures, NHB finance and public deposits. A third of its funds came from NHB refinance. Sundaram Home had public deposits worth around Rs.525 crore. While the yield stood at 12.6 per cent, the net margin for the company stood at around 2.25 per cent.
Mr. Acharya said Sundaram Home won't require any fresh funds for this year. "We may ask for some money next year," he, however, said. Any fresh funds from partners would come only in the form of equity infusion, he said.

Hola! Quick trip into Spain
... notice a definite difference in the architecture of the buildings between what we have been seeing in France and what we saw in Andorra. The buildings were of a different shape and brightly coloured.

Extremely long tunnels have been dug in some areas, but they don't get too far through the mountain. Before long we were again winding through the narrow mountain roads. To make matters worse, the roads were also being used by the locals for herding their livestock! We were in a traffic jam for about an ...

Andorra is classed as a micro state and the 6th smallest country in Europe. It has a population of around 85,000 and is a tax haven. It has the 3rd highest life expectancy in the world at 84 years and the official language is Catalan.

Friendly, helpful staff. Large, comfortable and stylish rooms. Nothing to fault. - Anonymous
This apartment was great-really spacious and modern, well equipped
kitchen and perfect for our 2 night trip to Barcelona. One double
bedroom and one twin with a sofa bed upstairs in the lounge. Plenty of
room for a family. Check in is a 6/7 minute walk away from the
apartment and has very secure underground parking there.(22 Euros a
day/night, you can stay on the final day until mid afternoon.)
Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The nearest metro
we found was Sagrada Familia - Anonymous
Everything! - Paula
Location - bus and metro stops just around the corner, close to the city centre and Diagonal; everyday cleaning; no need to leave the keys at reception; not that noisy as it was expected according to other reviews. - Anonymous
I liked this residence very much. Great location, cleanliness, comfort, pleasant atmosphere. The residence is located in a beautiful historic house. The walk to the Sagrada Familia takes about 12 minutes.
I especially liked the owner of the hotel, her name is Imma. She is great, she is very interesting person and helpful.
If I go back to Barcelona I'll stay at this hotel. I definitely recommend this hotel.
Imma, thank you very much for everything! :)
The best wishes, Saida.

Deciding on Windows
We decided recently that we wanted to replace windows. It started with , we have to replace patio doors and then went on to windows. We moved from Chicago, but our current home in Marietta,GA feels lot colder than the one we have in Chicago, at the same indoor temperature. So figured we blame the huge, oversized windows and patio doors. The current ones we have are made by peachtree doors, and are mostly sliding, and was installed I think in 1986.
After reading some of the forums here, I decided to get quotes for Sunrise, SOft-lite, and a couple other vendors my realtor suggested.
We have a total of 18 oversized windows (if they did DH, they said they will have to put 2 windows for most of them, as they are more than 48 inches in length). 2 patio doors.
For Slocomb windows + Alside patio doors I got a quote of about 11500$
When I showed the Slocomb product that I was promised to other vendors, they said a U of .22 seems like a scam.
For Vytex-Georgetown I have got a quote of about 11700$ - offerred upgrade of 3 E coating, and a U of .26
I am in the process of getting quotes for Sunrise and Soft-lite, will update the forum as I get all of them by Monday.
Any thoughts on what might be better product. Also if you have previously used a vendor in Marietta/Atlanta area and have found them to be good, please do not hesitate to suggest
I can't say that I know much about the Slocumb product, but it is pretty easy to tell if the quoted ratings are a "scam" or not. Simply get the CDP # of the window and plug it in at NFRC.org, which lists the total unit u-values in their Certified Product Directory.
Sunrise and Softlite are very good choices that I think you will like.
It's not a scam, it is a Ufactor of .22 with a big HOWEVER..
They are using a Hard Coat LowE coating on the most inner pane which is never a good idea. Why? It causes the Condensation Resistance number ( CR ) to go down alot. in fact, ask the salesman to show you what the CR number is. it should be AT LEAST 57 on double pane glass no lower.
Hard coat lowE can also scratch, it can collect dust, and you can and will probably get a glare. These are some of the reasons why many companies refuse to use it.
Best bet is triple pane glass if you want a very low Ufactor.

Thanks folks. I had posted this in reply to another forum, but I am sure the audience is different. Please bear with me, if you read this on another one.
i started this process about 3 days back, I am still a little dicey.
I am kind of zeroing on Sunrise or Soflite.
Here are my window dimensions, 4 windows are tempered glass, either because they are near bath tub or are too near to the ground.
1 - 22 x 48
1 - 36 x 48
4 - 48 x 48
3 - 60 x 60
2 - 36 x 70
1 - 96 x 47
1 - 60 x 45
1 - 32 x 79
1 - 36 x 60
2 - 60 x 60
1 - 6 ft patio, 1 - 9 ft patio
I got 14300$ [11175$ for windows and 3500$ for patio] , for Sunrise (Ultra Plus 12)
Softlite Elements for (13,500$ for windows) and about 4K for Patio. Softlite Bainbridge windows for about 10,500 (I didn't really like the looks that much).
Any thoughts?

This study focuses on the false feedback of spectrum information and the malicious behavior that forcibly occupies spectrum resources in cognitive radio networks. A credible spectrum sensing and allocation model based on fuzzy theory is proposed. The spectrum sensing behavior and spectrum utilization behavior are taken as two evaluation factors. On the basis of subjectivity and uncertainty of trust, this study adopts the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to construct the trust evaluation of nodes. In cooperative spectrum sensing, comprehensive evaluation results can be used to identify malicious nodes and eliminate false feedback information. In spectrum allocation, the degree of lattice closeness among fuzzy sets is used to define and calculate the difference between the actual comprehensive evaluation set and the ideal comprehensive evaluation. The difference is calculated to quantify the credibility of non-malicious nodes and to determine the allocation of spectrum resources to nodes using the multi-objective optimization algorithm. These techniques can control the malicious behaviors of nodes and encourage cooperative behavior among nodes. Consequently, the joint design of spectrum sensing at the physical layer and spectrum allocation at the media access control layer is realized. Simulation results and analysis indicate that under malicious attacks, the proposed model has sound performance in terms of system sensing, throughput, and fair spectrum allocation compared with existing models.

Great Little Gadget,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Sigma Bc1009 10 Function Cycle Computer - Black (Old Version) (Sports)
During the few weeks I have had this, I have been very pleased with it. I found it relatively straightforward to fit, and it worked right away (unusual for me!). Set to maximum contrast "1" the data shows up very well indeed, and is easy to see with just a glance.
I did get in a bit of a muddle initially, sorting out what the various set/reset/mode buttons did, and more clarification in the instructions would have been good. As with many other devices a multiplicity of languages are weaved together, which certainly did not help.
Overall, though, a splendid and clever little device, once you get the hang of which button accesses which set of statistics.

Ubuntu Beware: Installing Debian with Anaconda 43
from the hey-we're-all-in-the-same-gang dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Not necessarily relevant, but, I find it interesting that Progeny was founded by the creator of Debian: Ian Murdock.
Their web site: http://www.progeny.com/ [progeny.com]
And Ubuntu has many good technical merits to stand on. Its a wonderful mix of Fedora (easy to install, gnome based) and Debian (many packages that work, fast). If its not your thing, fine, but don't bite off someone's head for it.

With all the griping about Debian's installer, I wonder how many times one actually installs a new distro on bare metal.
I have the same debian installation going for the past three years. Sure, I've upgraded the distribution to the latest stable release, but it didn't require a reinstallation, only an apt-get dist-upgrade.
The debian installer may not be the easiest installer around, but it works on all the platforms out there, and the main objection -- dselect -- isn't difficult if you RTFM [debian.org]

Depends. If you are working as IT technician in a company, you might find yourself installing something on a box reasonably frequently. On the other hand you would be installing it "for a reason" so you probably will end up with SuSE/Redhat for Oracle or (insert commercial product here). Same for desktops.
For debian servers in an IT environment, my impression is that most people skip dselect and install what they want through apt-get. Its trivial to make a quick list of packages you want on every ser

Progeny Debian 2.0 Developer Edition also serves as a showcase for Componentized Linux and includes all Componentized Linux technologies.

Nice sights and sounds of the 2013 F12 M6 Coupe in this promo video from BMW UK.
Some impressive performance results recorded by Autobild for the M6 coupe:
0-100km/h – 3.9s
0-200km/h – 11.3s
Only 0.40 seconds behind the M3 GTS around the test track.
The dyno results were pretty awesome as well: 632 hp, 800Nm (590 lb-ft) torque.
Check out the performance comparison chart inside.
In this video, race car driver Scott Pruett and BMW Product & Technology Communications Manager Matt Russell explain the BMW M Electronic Damper Control (EDC) system and how the Comfort, Sport and Sport+ suspension settings make a difference in the F10 M5 and F12/F13 M6.
Although the M5 and M6 use an M tuned version of the BMW EDC, here is a general summary of EDC technology from BMW:

The Festivals of Speed 2012, a self described Florida automotive and luxury lifestyle showcase for discerning enthusiasts with a passion for all forms of transportation, recently took place in Miami.
Velos Designwerks was in attendance displaying their F10 M5 and F13 M6 convertible. They have brought us an impressive set of photos from the event. Check it out inside.
A BIMMERPOST member gives us a nicely written review of the F13 M6 Coupe against its predecessor – the E64 M6. And he's speaking from experience as he is an owner of the previous M6.
Great news for those M5 and M6 owners affected by the faulty oil pump recall. Less than two weeks after the recall was announced, the first oil pump replacements are underway and completed. The first M5POST member has just shared that his replacement pump is in and his M6 already on its way back to him.
EAS has dynoed a 2013 M6 DCT coupe. The M6 with its S63Tu motor is rated from the factory at 560hp / 502 lb-ft torque. This particular M6 put down a max 503hp / 488lb-ft torque (SAE) at the rear wheels. This was achieved on regular 91 octane pump gas and a Dynojet 224xLC.
There are still slots open for free dynos, so check inside if you are from the SoCal area and would like to run your F10 M5 or F12/F13 M6 on … CONTINUED
The BMW M display at this year's 2012 Paris auto show featured the latest M models to be released – the F10 M5 and F12 M6 coupe. What you see is the 2013 M6 in Sakhir Orange, its launch color. The 2013 M5 wears Frozen Grey, a BMW Individual color which looked excellent under the show lights. Also on display was the M5/M6′s monster 560hp V8 twin turbo S63Tu engine.
Most of you have read about the M5, M6 and S63Tu specs repeated times already, but for … CONTINUED
We provide you an update on the BMW M5 and M6 oil pump issue, including a preview of recall process and details. There is also a VIN number list for you to check your M5/M6 against to see if you are affected.
BMW has issued a delivery stop order on all 2013 M5 and M6 (coupe and convertible). The issue stems from a potential problem with the engine oil pump on certain S63Tu engine equipped cars. Vehicles equipped with an affected pump could experience a sudden loss of oil pressure which will result in engine damage.
BMW is recommending current M5 and M6 owners not drive the vehicle. Stay tuned for updates.
Through a joint agreement with M5POST, eas has allocated 10 baseline dyno sessions to BIMMERPOST members – free of charge for F10 M5 or F12/F13 M6 owners. So if you are in the Souther Califonia region, be sure to sign up and get some readings on your car's S63Tu engine's true power level.

Ala. police use macadamia nuts in sting
MOBILE, Ala.- Mobile police have found a new use for macadamia nuts that's not too tasty. Officers used chopped macadamia nuts to resemble rocks of crack cocaine during a drug sting Friday and Saturday on a street corner near downtown that has been the subject of repeated complaints about illegal drug activity.
"Our operation was two-sided to attack both the supply side and the demand side," Chief Phillip Garrett said.
As part of the sting, police searched two houses on State Street and arrested six people on charges of distribution of a controlled substance. Police seized crack cocaine, Lortabs, and more than $4,000 in cash at one location, Johnson said.
Then undercover officers posed as drug dealers at the corner of State and Kennedy streets. As they made deals, marked cars would swarm the person who made the buy. Once the street was quiet again, another person would approach the undercover officer without being aware of what had happened earlier.
"These are people from mainly outside the neighborhood," Lt. DeWayne Hill said. "You'd be surprised how many people come into the neighborhood like this to do their dirty work."
Police said the two-day crackdown resulted in a total of 21 arrests.
The people caught buying fake crack were charged with a misdemeanor, attempting to possess a controlled substance. Hill said word of the arrests would ripple through the neighborhood and have an impact on drug dealing.
"We want to make it as uncomfortable as possible for the buyers to buy and the sellers to sell," he said.

Gold hails Falcons' character
April 14, 2012
Mike Tindall is halted in his tracks by the superb Newcastle defence © Getty Images
Newcastle boss Gary Gold singled out his players' character for praise after seeing them claim a key win at Gloucester on Saturday.
Newcastle, who have two games left against Saracens and then Wasps, can still avoid the drop after prevailing through tries by flanker Ally Hogg and replacement back-row forward Mark Wilson, while captain Jimmy Gopperth kicked 19 points. Gloucester wiped out a 19-6 interval deficit to lead by a point with nine minutes left, but Newcastle finished strongly as Wilson's touchdown secured victory and resulted in the home team being booed off.
"From a game-management point of view, we were very good in the first half. We pretty much stuck to plan perfectly, really," South African Gold said. "We lost our way a little bit in the second half, and if truth be told we got a little bit lucky with our last try, but the character of the players was amazing.
"This is a good bunch of rugby players who are really committed to keeping Premiership rugby in the north-east. Our work-rate off the ball was particularly good. The guys really put their hands up today. They don't want to give up, they want to play in the Premiership next season."
Gold, who assumed temporary control in January and will hand over the reins at Kingston Park to Dean Richards next term, admits Newcastle still face a tough task to stay up. But even if the Falcons finish bottom, their survival hopes will then rest on whether or not this season's eventual Championship winners meet Premiership entry criteria.
"We are in a dire position," Gold added. "We have been eight points adrift at the bottom of the table and we are playing the Premiership champions [Saracens] next.
"If we start worrying what is going on with other teams and the things we can't control, then we will lose our focus. I have always realised the magnitude of this challenge, and it hasn't got any easier. We have always been playing catch-up, but this group of players have really responded well."
Gloucester conjured a try for flanker Akapusi Qera, with fly-half Freddie Burns booting five penalties, but Gloucester's hopes of Heineken Cup qualification next term were severely dented as they even failed to secure a losing bonus point. Gloucester's top-six ambitions now face a huge examination against Kingsholm visitors Sale Sharks next Saturday following one of their worst home performances in the professional era.
"We looked nervous in the first half, frightened to take the game by the horns and have a real go at it," head coach Bryan Redpath said. "It is about people taking responsibility and being accountable. With seven minutes to go we had clawed our way back to lead, and then there was another discipline issue. It was bitterly disappointing.
"There are going to be some questions thrown at us, and we must stick together and deal with it, not brush it under the carpet. We can't make excuses. We are a good enough side when we want to be, but we are not playing well enough at the moment to see games out and come away with a win. It's about being honest with each other."
Redpath also had no complaints about the fans' booing, adding: "It is hard for the players, but it is also very hard for a group of fans who are very passionate to see us lose in the manner we have lost games this season.
"I can't hide from the fans' frustration. We must accept that, and we can't just shrink into a little corner and hide from it."
And Redpath straight-batted questions about his future, having been linked with taking over at Sale next season.
"There is speculation all the time about who is going where," he said. "I've got a contract here, and I will fight to do everything I can to make sure we win games. There is no distraction around it."

Episode Guide »
At 2:50pm on April 15, two bomb blasts turned the Boston Marathon finish line from a scene of triumph to tragedy, leaving three dead, hundreds injured and a city gripped by heartbreak and terror. Less than five days later, the key suspects were identified and apprehended with one dead, the other in custody. How did investigators transform the chaos of the bombing into a coherent trail of clues, pointing to the accused killers? NOVA follows the manhunt step by step, examining the role modern technology -- combined with old-fashioned detective work -- played in cracking the case. Given hundreds of hours of surveillance and bystander videos, how did agents spot the bad guys in a sea of spectators? Why couldn't facial recognition software I.D. the criminals? How much could bomb chemistry analysis, cell phone GPS, infrared imagery and crowd sourcing reveal about the secrets behind this horrific crime? With the help of top criminal investigators and anti-terrorism experts, NOVA explores which technological innovations worked -- and which didn't -- in the most notorious case of today, and how the world of crime fighting could be transformed tomorrow.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Relais Bosquet Paris
We have stayed at the Hotel Relais Bosquet Paris the past two days and will be checking out tomorrow morning, much to our dismay. We wish we could stay here longer.
The service and amenities provided by the staff here are outstanding. While I suspect each room is different, we were very happy with our room, our view, and all extras provided by the staff here. We arrived quite a few hours before normal check in, and were expecting to just ask for them to hold our luggage for us when, to our surprise, we were able to get into our room right away.
We had a partial view of the Eiffel Tower - an added bonus. The room had everything needed and was very comfortable. We loved having windows that opened to get fresh air and also hear the sounds of the streets. We also loved the rolling shutters that provided light blocking, but also some ventilation when we wanted privacy but didn't want to have to close up completely.
The staff went the extra mile at every turn and were more friendly than anywhere else we've stayed all over the world.
And, of course, the location is about the best you could ask for. Great restaurants nearby, walking to Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides, Napoleon's Tomb, and the Rodin Museum are all well worth being in this neighborhood.
We will definitely come back to Hotel Relais Bosquet the next time we're in Paris and we hope that is sooner rather than later.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Relais Bosquet Paris
Charming Hotel, Excellent Location!
My husband and I stayed at the Relais Bosquet for 3 nights in March of this year. We absolutely loved our room with a view of the top of the Eiffel Tower! The hotel is located in an excellent part of town, within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower and other Paris sites. There is an excellent bread/pastry shop right outside the hotel where we enjoyed pain au chocolate pastries each morning for breakfast...YUM! The only negative about the hotel was the protests that occurred daily during out stay right outside the hotel...they just kind of left you with an uneasy feeling. That said, I would still recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique charming hotel in Paris.
Warm and welcoming
My daughter and I just returned from our stay at the Hotel Relais Bosquet and I have to agree with all the excellent reviews. Gerard, the English-speaking owner, couldn't do enough for us: reservations at restaurants, calling taxis, giving us the weather forecast, etc. He was terrific.
The rooms are nicely sized and are very quiet. Interestingly, the toilet was in a separate room than the sinks and shower, and this helped avoid tense moments!
The continental breakfast was (as always in France) a delightful selection of breads, along with OJ, a tangerine and coffee. My daughter also added the excellent cheese selection to her meal.
Make sure you visit the wonderful market just around the corner on the rue Cler.
One warning, though: don't use the Yellow Van service to get to and from the airport: they were late both times for us. Try one of the other van companies or the RER.
We will definitely stay here again.
Impressed with Hotel's Quick Response to E-mail!
We are planning our first trip to Paris. We sent an e-mail late last night inquiring about this hotel, asking specific questions. When we woke up early this morning, we had already received a response, answering all of our questions. Needless to say we are very impressed with the staff of this hotel, and are looking forward to staying with them!!
Excellent hotel
My husband & I stayed here for 4 days in September 2003 and were tremendously happy with the hotel. We were debating between 2 hotels and after reading these reviews, decided on Relais Bosquet and were very happy we did.
We found the rooms to be spacious for European standards and most importantly, CLEAN!! Of course, it is not the Ritz but neither are the prices. It is very quaint and well kept.
We spent the first part of our European trip biking through Italy & Switzerland and found this a great end to our adventure. As others have commented, the location is in a great trendy area of the city, near 2 metro stops. Very residential like. There is a restaurant at the end of this block (where the fruit/flower market starts) that has a green awning that was excellent. You are in close quarters to eat but that is European dining!
The front desk staff was extremely helpful. We wanted to take a day trip to Normandy and really were only able to do it on a Sunday. Every travel agent contact here in the US (and some in France as well) told us no trips went to Normandy on Sundays. The hotel immediately told us of a private van trip (8people total) and we signed up for it and were picked up right at the hotel. Some friends took a bus trip and didn't have as nearly of a good trip and had to take the metro to catch the bus, etc.
I am a picky traveler and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Can't go wrong.
Loved Relais Bosquet
TERIFFIC! Just spent seven days at the Relais Bosquet. I can't say enough about this fine hotel. LARGE rooms @(higher rate) 165 euros, quiet,clean&fine staff. Room #12 was just great. Location is outstanding with plenty of places for breakfast,lunch&dinner. Metro right around the corner. Nice residential location with FRIENDLY people everywhere.
This place is great. The location is outstanding, on a quiet street off the fun market street Rue Cler. It's about midway between the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides. The staff were really nice and helpful, and our room was so comfortable. The air conditioning is good and powerful. The bathroom and bed are great and the automatic dark blinds made the room so dark you could sleep all day. Of course, that would a shame in a city like this.
Great Neighbourood Hotel
We stayed here from May 17th - 24th largely based on our internet research and reviews on this site and weren't disappointed. The rue Cler neighbourood is great place to base your Paris visit from and the Metro is closeby. Hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful despite our poor French! (they speak fluent English). We highly recommend a picnic lunch (from rue Cler shops) at the park by the Eiffel Tower which is a short walk from the hotel.
Very Nice for the Price
My wife, 10 month old daughter, and I extended our stay in Paris at this hotel after staying on business at a four star hotel. We loved the quaintness and comfort of this hotel. The staff is extremely friendly, and its proxomity to the Rue Cler is great. We look forward to staying here again this year.
Great Hotel
Very nice little hotel. Helpful staff. In an excellent neighborhood with plenty of good restaurants and shops. Within easy walking distance of the Eiffel Tower & Napoleon's tomb. Around the corner from the tube.We would definitely stay there again!
Very french and quite perfect
We stayed at the Relais Bosquet from Feb 16th through the 19th 2003. We really researched most of the hotels in Paris using the trip advisor website quite often. Out of 40 hotels that we studied, this is the one that we chose. We felt very welcome and the staff even spoke some english which was quite comforting. Our room was quite comfortable, we were on the 6th floor and had a view of the Eiffel Tower. Quite spectacular. Wow! This hotel is well situated to everything on the Left Bank and close to a wonderful restaurant called La Serre. We would stay here again and thought the accomdations were lovely and well decorated. Have breakfast at the hotel at least once. They have some lovely offerings. Enjoy!

After lunch we rode slides that ran into the lazy river, which we rode about 10 times, then we rode a crazy ride that made us dizzy, which we also rode at least 10 times.

I hope this cigarette will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law
Officials say cigarette sparked fatal motel fire
March 20, 2015
The state police fire marshal today said a cigarette was the cause of a fatal motel fire in Westmoreland County on Thursday.
Timothy Paul Shane, 43, of Hempfield was killed in the fire at the Motel 3 on Route 30 in Adamsburg, according to the county coroner's office.
State police fire marshal Scott Mackanick ruled the fire an accident and said Mr. Shane was smoking a cigarette that ignited the blaze around 6:30 a.m.
A section of Route 30 was closed in the area of the fire, as was the Irwin exit off of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Mr. Shane's cause and manner of death are pending toxicology results from an autopsy, the fire marshal said.

Jihadists in Syria write home to France: 'My iPod is broken. I want to come back'
French jihadists complain about the cold, not knowing how to fight and how their iPods are running out
December 2, 2014
Letters from French jihadists home to their parents have revealed the misery, boredom and fear suffered by Islamist recruits as the gloss fades from their big adventure.
In a series of letters seen by Le Figaro newspaper, some of the 376 French currently fighting in Syria have begged for advice on how to return. Others have complained that, rather than participating in a noble battle, they have been acting as jihadi dogsbodies.
"I've basically done nothing except hand out clothes and food," wrote one, who wants to return from Aleppo. "I also help clean weapons and transport dead bodies from the front. Winter's arrived here. It's begun to get really hard."
Another writes: "I'm fed up. They make me do the washing up."
One Frenchman whinged that he wanted to come home because he was missing the comforts of life in France.
"I'm fed up. My iPod doesn't work any more here. I have to come back."
A third wrote fearfully: "They want to send me to the front, but I don't know how to fight."
Others were concerned, more prosaically, about the nationality of their baby, which was born in Syria and so not recognised by the French state.

Kim Jong Un shows Europe why North Korea is superior at cutting edge technology
The Washington Post just published this article and photograph. I realize that this sounds like satire from the Onion, but it really is a real news article:
This photo of Kim Jong Un riding a ski lift is North Korea's way of flipping off Europe
December 31, 2013
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un takes a solemn ski lift ride during his inspection tour at the Masik Pass ski resort, near Wonsan, North Korea.
I'll explain. Kim is thought to have developed a love for skiing when he went to boarding school (under a fake identity) in Switzerland. One of his pet projects since taking power two years ago has been building a giant ski resort, something that does not immediately serve the world's poorest country but would be meant as a show of national greatness. So Kim made it a top national priority to build the resort, Masik Pass, and work has been proceeding feverishly.
But Kim's pet project hit a major snag this August: ski lifts. Kim just could not get his hands on any ski lifts. North Korea doesn't have the technology to build its own. And the countries that make them all tend to be in the West, where new sanctions imposed in March make it illegal to sell luxury goods to the Hermit Kingdom. North Korea tried offering millions of dollars to Austrian and French companies to import ski lifts, but both said no.
Finally, North Korea tried to import from a Swiss company, offering $7.7 million for the lifts. It would be a logical choice: The country's well-known history of neutrality at times extends even to Pyongyang. But the Swiss government blocked the deal, calling the Masik Pass resort a "propaganda project."
Pyongyang was so angry it issued a furious response via official state outlet KCNA, declaring, "This is an intolerable mockery of the social system and the people of the DPRK and a serious human rights abuse that politicizes sports and discriminates against the Koreans." Yes, you read that correctly: North Korea called Switzerland's refusal to sell it ski lifts a "serious human rights abuse."
In the four months since Switzerland blocked the sale, North Korea appears to have somehow acquired ski lifts. It's not clear how or from where; presumably they're confident in the lift's safety for Kim himself to take this lonely ride up the slope. The photo is surely meant primarily to demonstrate to North Koreans that the ski resort is coming along and that the ski lifts have the leader's confidence. But it's hard not to also see this as Kim thumbing his nose at Europe, as if to say that he doesn't need their stinking ski lifts anyway.
North Korean state media called the ski lift a "great monumental structure." Kim reportedly said that the resort was "at the center of the world's attention" (it's a central myth of North Korean propaganda that the entire globe is rapt with admiration and wonderment at North Korea's every ribbon-cutting) and said it would open as soon as possible.

How to Fake Bigger Eyes
November 11, 2013
Whether it be restless nights, allergies making eyes puffy or naturally small eyes (the list goes on and on) we all want our eyes to appear larger. This can seem hard to accomplish but with a few tricks and tips, you can achieve a larger looking eye in no time. From eye liners to sleeping habits, we've covered the basis of getting those beautiful eyes to pop. Take a look at the tips below and enjoy your bigger eyes!
White eyeliner: When applying liner to the water line, you want to opt for a white or blush toned liner to make the eye appear brighter and bring more light to that part of the face.
Eye cream: It's never too early to start applying eye cream underneath eyes before you sleep. This will help to treat and hydrate the delicate tissue underneath the eyes, allowing you to wake up with fresh, de-puffed eyes. Puffiness can make your eyes look smaller, so de-puffing is always a plus.
Concealer: Try using a salmon pink color concealer under the eyes. This will work better to neutralize out those blues and purples that naturally come with the area under your eyes, and neutralizing these colors will help to brighten up, and therefore widen, your eyes.
Curl lashes: It may seem the oldest trick in the book, but there's a good reason for that! Curling lashes before applying mascara helps to open up the eye, then once mascara is applied it accentuates the bigger, wider lashes.
Double coating: Don't be afraid to double up on your mascara and apply two coats from the lash root to end. Mascara works to brighten and open up the eye, drawing more attention to them, and two coats of a mascara that won't clump helps to really make your eyes look huge.
Follow the crease: When applying eyeshadow, follow the natural shape of the eye and you'll notice dramatic results. Place the darker color in the crease of the eye and lighter shades on the lid for optimal results.
Brows: Bold brows aren't just a huge trend because Cara Delevingne looks amazing. Filled in, strong brows frame the face and make your eyes pop, so skip the tweezing and opt for a brow pencil instead.
Movie review: Phantom of the Opera (1943)
I'm shocked – shocked – to see certain things in Phantom of the Opera that I did not see in other classic Universal monster films! For one thing, this movie has vermilion. It also has chartreuse and lavender. It has azure. It has ochre and magenta. It has aquamarine, maroon, and burnt umber. It has turquoise and saffron. Why, this movie even has crimson – even the Dracula movie didn't have crimson! I tell you – seeing these things in this movie was totally unexpected. It defied my expectations of what I thought was a common characteristic of all of the films in this series. My preconceived notions and assumptions have been desecrated. I suppose that I will get over this eventually, but it will definitely take some time.
Obamacare website can't handle as much traffic as a website run by one guy in his pajamas
drudgereport.com is run by Matt Drudge, who runs the website in his pajamas from his apartment. I've visited his website just about every day since the late 20th century. It runs very well. His website has gotten as many as 45 million hits per day.
On the first day of the Obamacare website, it had 5 million visitors. It could not handle that amount of traffic.
IT experts who had analyzed the data going to and from the Obamacare website said the reason that people could not use it was because it was launching the equivalent of a "denial of service attack" against itself. They said the website was sending and receiving massive amounts of unnecessary data back and forth between itself and users' computers. The IT experts attributed this to bad programming, and said that adding more servers would not fix the problem.
Lots of great ideas for new Seinfeld episodes – it if were still being made today
I just discovered this website called "Modern Seinfeld," which lists a lot of really smart and funny ideas for new episodes of Seinfeld, based on today's trends, news, pop culture, and technology.
I'm posting a few examples here, but this is just a tiny fraction of what's available at the link. If you're a Seinfeld fan, I recommend you click on the link to see a whole lot more of them:
George pretends to belong to a gym just to use their bathroom. Kramer "borrows" Jerry's computer and is offended by his Internet history.
Jerry's vacation's ruined by the stress of avoiding Breaking Bad spoilers. Elaine's never seen the show, ruins a viewing party w/ questions.
Jerry & George discover Kramer's the subject of an insane number of Craigslist missed connections. Elaine gets a pixie cut. It's disastrous.
Jerry has to use an old Zune because his parents, who gave it to him, are visiting. Kramer "borrows" J's iPhone. "Hey, you're not using it."
George is briefly implicated in the latest Anthony Weiner scandal because his OKCupid handle is Carlos Danger.
When George's gf goes out of town he can't help finishing the TV show they're marathoning together, then badly pretends not to have seen it.
Jerry discovers his gf still uses her JDate profile. Kramer leaves messages for the NSA in his emails. Newman reluctantly tries SoulCycle.
