Rated 4 out of 5 by Hay c Mixed seafood (shrimp, scallop, calamari) on skillet was a misnomer. I thought it was grilled on a hot skillet but just mixed with vegetables and served on a skillet with a lot of sauce. One of the worst. Others are good. May 1, 2015

Who are we?: My wife and I live outside Paris where we grow our 3 kids.
We love Paris and in 2005 bought this apartment that we have fully renovated during one year.
We did refurbished it as we dreamed it; One day, retirement time will come, we plan to use it for us.
In the mean time we are delighted to welcome guests that enjoy touring Paris and resting in the center of the city.
St Louis island is magic, you really feel that you live in the old days but with the modern amenities...
Something unique: During the renovation we found original wood painting from 17th century. We have renovated these and you will discover them on the wall above the sofa!
For a modern touch a painting by the French artist NORMA BESSIERES decorates the apartment - courtesy of the artist's worldwide agents G & O ART.
Bessieres' works have been exhibited in French and international galleries. She has acquired a great following in the world of art. Each year Norma is selected by the finest Parisian salons, especially "Art in the Capital" held at the Grand Palais, and the Salon of Contemporary Art at the Carrousel du Louvre.

We loved the apartment and the island community. The apartment could not have been better for us and we felt at home immediately. It was even better than we had hoped it would be. What a treat to be able to go out in the morning and return with fresh French pastries for breakfast! The island restraurants and shops are fun and we used the apartment as a base for wonderful excursions all over Paris.The best part was that it was all ours for the week and we felt like a part of the island community.
Apartment was well furnished with charming flower window boxes overlooking the street. Kitchen was very functional. Great location to every part of the city. Daniel was extremely helpful and answered all questions prior to arriving thoroughly and providing very prompt responses. Would recommend this to anyone and we will stay here again on our next trip to Paris! Restaurant on the corner L'Ilot Vache and the St. Regis were terrific! Make sure to see Notre Dame (5 minute walk) Arc De Troimphe (great view of Eiffel tower from the top) the Louvre, Rodin Museum and take #69 bus out to Pere La Chaise Cemetery to see both Chopin's and Jim Morrison's graves. It is in a beautiful setting! There is a great little restaurant for people watching right outside the exit. Don't miss Versailles (takes a full day but worth it) and the Latin Quarter! Thank you Daniel!
Just right for two adults and one or two children.
Great location.
This apartment was in a perfect location - a couple of minutes walk from Notre Dame, and right downstairs the street had restaurants, small grocery, bakeries and shops. The apartment was on the 3rd floor with a tiny elevator so easy to get the luggage up. Very well furnished with furniture, lots of dishes, pots and pans etc for small meals. Washer/dryer was a bit hard to figure out but worked well as did the dishwasher and stovetop. The location can't be beat and is perfect for 2, but could use some maintenance and a thorough cleaning - one cupboard was falling apart, a hook falling off the wall, and some mold growing in the shower. Would be nice if there was a small supply of toilet paper, kleenex, paper towel, garbage bags, etc upon arrival - most rentals we have stayed in are a bit better supplied - but having said all that, we did love the apartment.
Great location. Perfect place for two people who occassionally enjoy preparing their own meals. The street scene below was most entertaining during the day but quiet at night. Close to two bakeries, great ice cream, nice wine shop, green grocer, and two cheese shops. Having a washer and dryer was a real plus. The owner was readily available by phone. We would return.
Lovely Parisian apartment. It is a perfect place to relax after a long day of sightseeing. The owner (Daniel) was helpful and responsive. We decided to stay in an apartment verses a hotel to experience the true feeling of Paris and are happy we did so. It provided our family more room to spread out unlike the small Europeon hotel rooms. We loved it and would recommend this to our friends. Also would recommend L'Auberge de la Reiner Blanche on Rue St. Louis d'Ille, for dinner. Excellent and not overpriced.
The apartment is located in the most famous and prettiest area of central Paris. The street is very beautiful, with a lot of interesting shops, Art Galleries, and restaurants. The Cathedral of Notre Dame, the Latin Quarter, The Marais, Centre Georges Pompidou, St. Germain Area, The Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, are a few minutes walking distance from the apartment. Many shops and stores are close to the apartment: Bakery, Butchery, Theater, Restaurant, Cafe, Laundromat, Doctor, Drugstore.
Other Activities: Museum, ART Galleries, Shopping...

Jamba Inc. today provided an update on key business initiatives, preliminary fiscal year 2014 guidance and adjusted estimates for fiscal year 2013.
- JambaGo express smoothie units are now opening in over 1,000 food courts at a major retailer across the country. The partnership represents the largest single expansion of JambaGo to date and will bring the total units to over 1,800.
- International markets for Jamba are expected to grow from four countries currently to between seven and nine by year-end 2015. The estimated potential for international stores has therefore increased from 1,000 to 1,500.
- A newly launched cost and productivity improvement program is expected to yield savings of 100-200 basis points in operating margin once fully operationalized.
- The ISIS mobile wallet that enables payment via phone is now rolling out nationally to Jamba stores. Jamba's new loyalty program, partnering with SpendGo, is scheduled to follow in the first quarter of 2014.
- As a result of constraints on consumer spending, adverse weather in key markets and increased competition, Jamba adjusted several estimates for 2013. The Company now expects system-wide same store sales to be flat to 1%, store-level margins to be 16% to 17% and operating margin to be 1% to 2%.
- Preliminary forecasts for 2014 show solid growth with system-wide same store sales of 2% to 4%; store-level margin of 18% to 19%; operating margin of 2% to 3%; domestic and international openings of 60 to 80 new stores; and up to 1,000 new JambaGo installations.
"Our analysis shows that a consumer spending slowdown reduced third quarter comparable store sales comparisons for company stores by 3% to 4%. We believe that current campaigns did not have the same impact as the prior year, impacting the comparison by 1% to 2%, and adverse weather in key markets caused a further reduction of approximately 1% to 2%. Preliminary results for third quarter same store sales reflect a decrease in system-wide comparable store sales of -3.4%, company-owned stores of -5.5%, and franchise stores of-1.3%. (1)" said James D. White, chairman, president and CEO of Jamba. "Jamba's adjusted targets for 2013 and preliminary forecasts for 2014 represent a realistic and balanced approach to achieve sustained, long-term growth and also drive significant gains this year in operating margin, net income and other key metrics."
"Our JambaGo initiative is a good example of robust growth. We are delighted to broaden our distribution to many other customers who will now have the opportunity to experience our delicious Jamba smoothies, which not only taste great but also have inspired millions of fans to pursue active healthy life styles," concluded Mr. White.

May 23, 2015
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recently issued new flood maps for Bay County. Officials say more than a quarter of Bay County that wasn't in a flood zone has now been added to the map. Panama City Beach is seeing some of the largest increases in property that has the potential to flood.
That will increase insurance premiums for homeowners across the county. But, local officials say you shouldn't panic if you get a letter from your insurance company. Tita Sokoloff, natural resources planner at Bay County's Planning and Zoning Department, says, "The first thing to do is call Planning & Zoning. We'll ask them a series of questions that will help them move towards being able to determine do I really need to pay a higher rate, and if I do pay a higher rate, is that the correct rate."
For more information, call Bay County's Planning and Zoning Department at 784-4024.

text: 92Vectra1.6i 5pts I consult with the clowns at Consumer Reports when I want to buy a washing machine or toaster, but an automobile?? Not today. The current Fusion and Malibu models have both done well on J.D. Powers long term reliability ratings, and if I'm not mistaken, both have done well on Consumer Reports reliability rankings. Either one in four cylinder form will give their owners reliable, economical service for many years. The Camry and Accord are likely to give their owners many years of reliable service and are great choices for a family car, but some of us actually like to drive, and neither has any hope of enticing me (nor does the too soft Malibu) with their '70's Detroit style marshmallow rides and heavy understeer (the Honda has a crisper ride and handling set up than the Camry, but still has far too much plow when driven enthusiastically.

Daybreak: Battle for Latin America
Plus Teitel indicted, Australia surrenders ex-Nazi, and more in the news
• Israel and Iran are competing to gain support in Latin America. [Times (London)]
• And the current battleground is Brazil, where Israeli President Shimon Peres has been on a diplomatic visit this week, during which President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva justified his plan to host Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad later this month, saying "You don't build the necessary peace in the Middle East if you don't talk to all the political and religious forces that both want peace and are opposed to peace." [JTA]
• Yaakov Teitel, a Jewish settler accused of terrorism against Palestinians in Israel, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder. "It was my pleasure and honor to serve my God," he responded. [JPost]
• Australia has approved the extradition of 88-year-old alleged former Nazi Charles Zentai to Hungary, where he will stand trial for murdering a Jewish teenager in 1944; Zentai's son is wary as to "whether Hungary can provide a fair trial for my father in the absence of any living witnesses." [AP]

Bathroom tiles are no more a new concept, almost every bathroom in UK is tiled. But, the thing that matters is what type of tile you are using to beautify them. Single or plane tiles are now accounted among old fashioned tiles. Presently, colorful and designer tiles are in fashion which can drastically uplift the appearance of the room. There is a great range of bathroom tiles in the tile market and in recent times the embarkation of different companies has increased the number of options to choose. Opt for floral print or contemporary designs, mixed shade or classic pattern each of them has unique style.
Ceramic and porcelain are among the most preferred tiles for bathroom. Although, they are used for any tiled area but in bathroom they prove their worth. These tiles do not absorb water. So, the chances of dirt settlement reduce. They remain clean naturally you don't need to put much effort from maintenance front. Furthermore, non-settlement of dirt also cut down the probability of growing germs and bacteria. These bathroom tiles are ideal for both walls and floor.
The other very good alternatives are Slate and Limestone. In case, you find ceramic ordinary or repetitive you can go for these easy options. These are non-slippery -especially good for moist area. Often regular usage of tile torn the surface and make them risky to walk on. But Slate is never gets torn and remain safe even after years of use.
However, Slates are mostly preferred for wall area or places where heavy foot falls are not expected. On the other hand Limestone is used on both walls and floor surfaces. This is a natural stone and has capacity to retain its beauty in any temperature. Hence, you have plenty of option for your bathroom to hone. Perfection n bathroom can be only brought if you take care of your requirements and opt of bathroom tiles (http://www.tilesgranite.co.uk/

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- American International Group (AIG - Get Report) was the loser among the largest U.S. financial names on Monday, with shares declining over 2% to close at $33.36.
The broad indexes ended with slight gains, as shares of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ - Get Report) rose 3% to close at $14.16, amid rumors that activist investor Carl Icahn was building a position in the company's shares.
HP on Nov. 20 shocked investors by announcing a fiscal fourth-quarter net loss of $6.9 billion, or $3.49 a share which included an $8.8 billion write-down of goodwill, related to its purchase of Autonomy in August 2011 for $11 billion. The Autonomy purchase was the centerpiece of former H-P CEO Leo Apotheker's decision to transform the company from being primarily a hardware maker to becoming a software and consulting firm, the way International Business Machines (IBM) did.
While there's no telling what sort of strategy Icahn might demand of Hewlett-Packard, Richard St. recently wrote that the IBM model might not be such a bad idea.Investors on Monday, were, of course, continuing to wait for President Obama and the Republican leadership of the House of Representatives to move forward with a budget deal to avert the Fiscal Cliff. Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) had nothing to say about his meeting with President Obama, while the President in Detroit that he would not compromise on his insistence for a tax rate increase for couples earning more than $250,000 a year.
Sandy, a Sale and Another Sale
American International Group late on Friday announced that its "preliminary estimate" of losses from Hurricane Sandy would be $2.0 billion, net of reinsurance, or $1.3 billion after taxes. The company also said it expected to contribute $1 billion in capital to its AIG Property Casualty unit, after the unit had paid $2.4 billion in dividends to the holding company through the first three quarters of 2012. AIG also said on Friday that the P&C unit had $49.6 billion in capital and that the parent company had total equity of $102.4 billion. AIG on Monday announced a deal to sell "up to a 90% stake in International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), a non-core asset," to a group of investors led by Weng Xianding, the chairman of New China Trust Co. Ltd. for roughly $4.75 billion.

There is an expression, what goes around comes around. We may get to see an example of this in our upcoming presidential election. President Obama, no great friend of the cannabis community, may well need Colorado stoners to turn out on election day. Let's check in with Reuters. "Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama hasn't exactly been a friend to marijuana users. Sure, he has acknowledged smoking pot as a young man, but he has disappointed marijuana advocates by opposing its legalization, regulation and taxation like alcohol. And the Justice Department's occasional crackdown under his administration on medical marijuana dispensaries, which 17 states and the District of Columbia allow, has angered others.
So now, with Obama facing a stiff challenge from Republican Mitt Romney in the November 6 election, it's ironic that his chances of winning the key state of Colorado could hinge on marijuana legalization, supported by a growing number of Americans. At issue is whether Obama will get a boost from young voters expected to be among the most enthusiastic backers of a Colorado ballot initiative that would legalize possession of up to an ounce of pot for recreational use - and give the state the most liberal marijuana law in the nation. The initiative is a reflection of Colorado's unique blend of laid-back liberalism and anti-regulation conservatism that helped make the state the birthplace of the Libertarian Party.
It's a state where people of different political stripes see marijuana laws as an example of government needlessly sticking its nose where it doesn't belong. It's also a proving ground for advocates who see legalization as a way to ease crowding in prisons, generate much-needed tax revenues, create jobs and weaken Mexican cartels that thrive on Americans' appetite for illegal drugs. The Rocky Mountain State already allows the use of marijuana for medical purposes such as severe pain relief, and some communities have embraced it enthusiastically. The prevalence of medical marijuana dispensaries in Denver has moved pot into the mainstream in Colorado's capital city. In Denver County, home to about 600,000 people, one in every 41 residents is a registered medical marijuana patient.
It's unclear precisely how the U.S. Justice Department - whether led by Obama or Romney - would respond if Colorado, Washington or other states legalize marijuana for recreational use. Both politicians oppose legalizing the drug. But in a close presidential election in which Colorado could be a tipping point - and with polls showing Obama has up to a 30-point edge over Romney among voters age 30 and under - the state's marijuana initiative could be a factor if it inspires waves of young voters to cast ballots on November 6.
"This is an issue that is really meaningful to young people, people of color, disenfranchised communities," groups that typically lag in registering and showing up to vote, said Brian Vicente, 35, executive director of Sensible Colorado, a group seeking less restrictive marijuana laws. "Democrats and Obama need these groups to win," Vicente said. "The path to the White House leads through Colorado. We feel we can motivate these groups."
It's a much longer and more detailed story, and you can find it here.

So 2 Fast 2 Furious tosses John Singleton the keys to the franchise. Singleton's coasting here, but his instincts are right. He treats the Miami drug-running premise like the functional pretext that it is, and while it's almost impossible to buy Paul Walker and r&b hottie Tyrese as longtime homies, their interaction isn't what the movie's selling. The script, and the actors' breezy performances, work inasmuch as they get us to the chase on time. And whenever the rubber meets the road, Singleton opts for naturalism, giving the cars a gear-grinding physicality and keeping his eye on the human beings behind the wheel instead of zooming up exhaust pipes. Compared to the bullet-time kungfoolery of the freeway sequence in The Matrix Reloadedin which the only thing that seemed to be in motion was the camerathe vehicular action in 2 Fast is profoundly low-tech, and engagingly brawny.
Still, nothing in the movie trumps the opening sequence. Weaving through an illicit gathering of car freaks on a Miami street, Singleton smears the screen with ass and neon, recasting the "can-you-drive-stick?" scene from Boyz N the Hood as booty-video pop art, and shoots the race that follows like a nitrous-powered four-way orgasm. Once it's over, almost everything that follows feels like mere popular mechanics.

Just as for social security incentives, the key issue is this: If the receipt of benefits is delayed for a year, are benefits increased enough to offset their receipt for one less year? Is the benefit formula actuarially fair? Under the typical employer-provided DB plan in the United States, the answer is no. Benefits are not increased sufficiently to offset receipt for one less year. Thus, the plans impose a large implicit tax on work, just like the implicit tax described above for social security defined benefits. Indeed, the analysis of retirement incentives inherent in employer-provided DB plans in the United States led to the international comparison project that produced the results discussed above. The following discussion provides some information on the incentive effects of employer-provided plans. It does not attempt to draw from all the many studies that address this issue.
Until the mid-1990s, one of the important economic trends in the United States was the withdrawal of older persons from employment. This trend was surely made possible by the advent of the Social Security program and by the concurrent spread of employer-provided pension plans. Most of the pension plans were DB plans in which the benefit at retirement depended on years of service and earnings (usually those during the last years of employment).
Stock and Wise (1990a and 1990b) used company data to develop and estimate a formal model of retirement based on the option value retirement model. The model's central feature involves recognition of the significant effect on retirement of the future accrual pattern of pension benefits. A series of subsequent papers found similar behavioral responses to plan incentives among men and women and among different types of employees (see, e.g., Lumsdaine, Stock, and Wise, 1997).
Looking at social security systems in different countries was analogous to looking at the effects of different employer-sponsored pension plans (with varying provisions) in the United States. Indeed, the retirement responses to social security plan incentives to retire correspond very closely to the incentive inherent in the employer-provided DB plans.
401(k)-Like Plans Have None of These Incentive Effects
Since the early 1980s there has been a rapid conversion to 401(k) plans in the private sector and a movement away from DB plans. The data are shown in Figure 5-14. People can of course participate in more than one type of plan. The 401(k) plans and other personal accounts such as individual retirement accounts (IRAs) have none of the incentive effects of DB plans and in particular none of the early retirement incentives inherent in DB plans. Since DB plans had typically provided a strong inducement to retire early, it should be expected that the decline in DB plans reduced the incentive to retire early. Thus the advent of personal accounts probably was

Second Monument Found At Stonehenge Site
A team of archaeologists have uncovered a wooden version of Stonehenge approximately 6/10 of a mile from the monument's site, according to a Thursday University of Bingham press release.
The second monument, which is believed to date back to the Neolithic period (2,000 to 4,000 years ago), was uncovered using virtual mapping technology. The discovery comes as part of a three-year, multimillion dollar study that started a mere two weeks ago.
According to the university's press release, "The incredible find has been hailed by Professor Vince Gaffney, from the University's IBM Visual and Spatial Technology Centre, as one of the most significant yet for those researching the UK's most important prehistoric structure."
"This finding is remarkable," said Gaffney said. "It will completely change the way we think about the landscape around Stonehenge"¦ People have tended to think that as Stonehenge reached its peak it was the paramount monument, existing in splendid isolation"¦ This discovery is completely new and extremely important in how we understand Stonehenge and its landscape."
The structure, described as "henge-like" by the author of the university press release, is reportedly on the same orientation as Stonehenge itself.
"You seem to have a large-ditched feature, but it seems to be made of individual scoops rather than just a straight trench," Gaffney told BBC News on Thursday. "When we looked a bit more closely, we then realized there was a ring of pits about a meter wide going all the way around the edge."
"When you see that as an archaeologist, you just looked at it and thought, 'that's a henge monument' – it's a timber equivalent to Stonehenge. From the general shape, we would guess it dates backs to about the time when Stonehenge was emerging at its most complex," he added. "This is probably the first major ceremonial monument that has been found in the past 50 years or so"¦ This is really quite interesting and exceptional; it starts to give us a different perspective of the landscape."
Gaffney told Nina Chestney of Reuters that there were no plans to excavate the site.
"This is a virtual dig. We couldn't excavate at this scale anyway," he said, adding that he had "absolutely no doubt" that the team would discover yet more remains as the project moved forward.

SPOKANE, WA (CNN/KREM) -- A senior airman ended a six month deployment to Afghanistan Monday night by meeting three new additions to his family.
Harley Wicks held his newborn triplets for the first time Monday after landing at Spokane International Airport.
Amber Wicks waited six-and-a-half months for her husband to return from the Middle East. Amber gave birth to triplets just after her husband was deployed.
Harley knows the moment signals a big shift. But they can handle the challenge together, as a team, just like in the military. He says, "Trying to take care of three at once, but it's a challenge I'm looking forward to." His wife Amber adds, "I feel so much better now that he's here."
The Wicks family said they plan to spend the next two weeks in the Spokane area where Amber has been staying with her parents.
They plan to head back to base in Little Rock, Arkansas to continue life as a new family.

"My 17 year old son will appreciate this simple card to write his graduation thank you notes on. It's right to the point...no opening a card and seeing all that blank space to write in. Thanks, Tiny Prints!"
"This card was smaller than I was anticipating (should have checked the dimensions), but the paper was thick and textured and the photo print quality was excellent. Would definitely recommend for a cute, quality thank-you card."
"My son recently completed his Eagle Project and wanted to thank everyone who contributed to the success of his project. He picked the best pictures of the project and put them on the postcard. The final project was beautiful. This was an inexpensive way to thank everyone and for them to see how their contributions were spent."
"I ordered these cards for as informal thank yous for all the little things that people do for us over the course of the year. They are perfect for writing a short sweet note of thanks. Loved everything about the cards, they turned out great!"
"My vet helped care for my cat for 17 years and recently we had to put him to sleep. My vet seemed as upset as I was, but restrained himself for my sake. I wanted him to know how I appreciated all he has done and this card allowed me to put images of my cat from a kitten to old age. It also allowed me to write a beautiful tribute to my vet and his staff. Upon receiving the cards he was very moved. I was pleased beyond words. Thank you for this item."

Aussie Dee and Kris
Dee is ruggedly handsome, with the well-built body of a rugby player. His face has a nicely trimmed moustache and beard that only adds to his masculine charm. Kris, on the other hand, is clean-cut and looks like the shy guy next door, who only gets wild at a party – or in bed!Dee starts by taking a shower, showing off his hot body. He wraps a towel around his waist and approaches Kris, who is just lying on the couch. They start to make out as Kris takes off his shirt and lies back, getting his nipples rubbed. He goes on to lose his shorts and Dee massages his meat through his briefs. Soon, they are both completely naked and Kris takes Dee's big, uncut cock and sucks it, giving unbelievable pleasure. He also gives Dee a handjob as he wanks off his own meat before they move over to the bedroom.

Jacqui was a very welcoming hostess, ready to chat about the area and interesting places to visit. The breakfast was good, lovely fresh baguettes and croissants and very good coffee -home made jams too. The bedroom was very small but adequate with plenty of hot water in the private shower room. The only downside was no Wi-fi connection . We would go again if in the area.

Glad I got them
By GE
from Muskoka, ON
Waited and waited for this one because I couldn't decide between the colours. Eventually the decision was made for me as silver sold out so I ordered the green and lucked out to get post Xmas deal. they are so cute!! especially when lit. Since they are not "decorated" as Xmas trees per se these little guys can stay out all winter as seasonal décor. They are the centerpiece on my dining table.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Beautiful and great value for the price
By Paul
from St. John's, Newfoundland
I purchased the green set and am thrilled with them. Great deal on the set after Christmas too. They look great using either the steady burn or twinkling feature. Heavier than I thought they would be which is a plus. My only regret is that I didn't buy more sets to give as gifts next Christmas.
Really Beautiful
By Pat
from Mallorytown,Ontario
I bought both green & silver.One to keep and one for my sister but I don't know which I like better(Maybe I should keep both!) I shall make her chiise.

By Mo
from Mount Pearl, Newfoundland
The twinkling lights are really glowing with a very soft light whether still light or twinkling light. Also nice when not lit. They are so attractive I would like to keep them on the mantle all year. The description says that 2 AA batteries are required and included however there were no batteries included and each tree requires 3 AA batteries. I will contact TSC as I think it was an oversight. I would like to buy more but they are sold out.

Very Pretty
By Love TSC
from London, ON
I ordered the trees in the silver. They are very heavy which I really like. The twinkling is very subtle but adorable.
Very pretty
I just received these and what a bonus with free shipping & Handling and an extra 20% off!Very very nice I shall use them for Christmas gifts next year as I have quite a few little gifts ro give people and I am sure they will enjoy themThey do sparkle & shine
Very Disappointed
By A Very Particular Shopper
from Toronto, Ontario
I bought both the silver and green trees and was very disappointed. Upon installing the batteries in the largest green tree, the whole bottom came out, where it was glued, string of lights and all. Plus the largest tree was crooked. The finish on both sets was terrible - paint chips. Not worth the full price. I am sending the green set back.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
worth the sale value
By Fenwickgal
from Ontario
Seeing I ordered these after Christmas to take advantage of the clearance/no shipping costs, I examined them before storing them. They look nice lit. The whole battery compartment on one fell out(wires dangling, etc.)The plastic compartment is just hot-glued to the glass base. I re hot-glued and hope this will be sufficient for next year.TIP: keep the plastic sleeve on while inserting the batteries to save from getting glitter all over
Mr Christmas Glass Twinkling Trees

I purchased 2 silver sets and they are pretty! Beautiful addition to my Christmas decor!
Very Beautiful!!

I was pleased with the 3 sets I bought - very pretty especially at night.

The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (2010 Reform Act) established a voluntary Medicare Shared Savings Program (Program). On March 31, 2011 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a proposed rule to implement the Program. To participate in the Program, groups of eligible Medicare providers and suppliers must form an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) approved by CMS. The proposed rule describes the goals of the Program, the requirements for ACOs and the incentive for participation – the opportunity for an ACO to receive a shared savings payment measured against an expenditure benchmark.
Comments on the proposed rule were due by June 6, 2011. Following consideration of comments, CMS will issue a final rule and commence processing applications submitted by organizations seeking to be approved as an ACO. The start date for initial three year contracts between CMS and ACOs is anticipated to be July 1, 2012.

CANENA 2013: a perspective from
Stephanie McLarty
Bringing the next generation of experts into the IEC's work
Janice Blondeau
IEC 2010 Young Professional Leader, Stephanie McLarty presented on ensuring continuity through developing the next generation of international standardization experts at CANENA (the Council for Harmonization of Electrotechnical Standards of the Nations of the Americas) 2013. In this interview, e-tech asked McLarty to share her experiences and learnings from this forum.
Positive and constructive atmosphere
e-tech: What were your impressions of the CANENA meeting?
McLarty: The CANENA group was very warm and welcoming to me. Many people told me that they were looking forward to my presentation, which was nice. I was impressed by how very serious and passionate about their work everyone was, and there was a tremendous amount of respect for one another. It was a constructive atmosphere.
e-tech: What did you enjoy about this opportunity?
McLarty: One of the best benefits of international standardization is the opportunity to interact with people from all over the world whom you would not normally meet. So I enjoyed meeting everyone and learning about what they do and where they are from. It was a nice cross-section of individuals from Canada, the USA, and Mexico.
The same issues across organizations
e-tech: What would you say was useful to you?
McLarty: The connections I made were useful, and I hope to collaborate with some of those individuals in the future. I also enjoyed learning about the state of standards in North America, and particularly understanding some of the changes that have being going on in Canada, and elsewhere in North America.
e-tech: What did you learn there or what can help you in future work?
McLarty: What struck me is that organizations of any size or focus are struggling to deal with how to get more young professionals involved in standards work. This isn't just happening within standards organizations, but also within companies.
Need for social media guidelines
The other major takeaway for me is that organizations and companies need social media policies around standards participation. Young professionals are so used to using social media, but are unsure how to use it for standards work and do not want to make mistakes. Organizations can play a part by having guidelines around what young professionals can and cannot do with respect to social media and their standards work.
Mobilizing "GenNext" to ensure continuity
e-tech: Would you like to share some background about your presentation?
McLarty: Below is a synopsis on my presentation. Overall I discussed some of the successes and lessons learned from the IEC Young Professionals Programme, and some of the takeaways that I had written in this paper.
Synopsis: Mobilizing "GenNext" for the Next Generation of Standards The need for succession planning has become critical to ensure the future of standardization and its multifaceted benefits. This presentation looked at succession planning from a standards lens, including lessons learned from the IEC YP (Young Professionals) Programme. Practical strategies were covered including how to get young professionals involved and how they can usher in the next generation of standardization to help improve cost-effective market access.
Advice for Young Professionals
e-tech: Do you have any advice for IEC Young Professionals if they have a similar opportunity to give a presentation?
McLarty: If you have the opportunity to speak at such an event, go for it. It is an amazing opportunity to dive deeper into the standards community, network and share the outcomes of the IEC Young Professionals Programme. The issue of how to get more young professionals involved is one that all organizations are struggling to deal with. There is an important story to be told about how this can be improved and what the IEC Young Professionals Programme has done right.
e-tech: Is there any other interesting information you'd like to share?
McLarty: Approximately 75 individuals from Canada, US and Mexico were in attendance for CANENA. One person commented on how they were impressed that 92% of the IEC Young Professionals Programme participants had spread the information with their colleagues. This is a very good sign. Another commented that a Young Professional in their company had attended the IEC programme and was thoroughly impressed.
Brief biographical note
Stephanie McLarty is President and CEO of REfficient, an online reuse marketplace where companies can source equipment for their businesses as well as sell and donate their surplus to others. Since 2008, McLarty has been the Canadian Technical Expert on reuse and recycling for IEC TC111: Environmental Standardization for Electrical and Electronic Products and Systems. McLarty was selected by her peers as one of three IEC Young Professional Leaders in 2010.
IEC Young Professionals: Go ahead, Get ahead
The IEC Young Professionals 2013 workshop will be held in New Delhi, India, on 21 to 23 October, in parallel with the IEC 2013 General Meeting. Please contact your NC for further information.
Another IEC 2010 Young Professional Leader, Juan Rosales from Mexico, has just been appointed to the SMB ahG (ad hoc Group) 47: Household and similar robot technologies.

Anti-government protesters march without shoes to a plaza in Caracas, Venezuela, Wednesday, April 16, 2014.(AP/Ramon Espinosa)
CARACAS, Venezuela: Negotiators for the government and the opposition have agreed to broaden membership in a truth commission that is to investigate who is to blame for 41 deaths tied to weeks of political unrest in Venezuela.
Colombian Foreign Minister Maria Angela Holguin, who is one of the outside facilitators in the talks, on Wednesday called the step a sign of "progress" in the effort to calm Venezuela's political unrest.
But opposition leaders criticized the government for not accepting a proposal for amnesty to be granted to people arrested during the protests. Hundreds of university students staged another anti-government demonstration late in the day, marching barefoot in what they said was penance for the country's economic and crime problems.
The agreement on the truth commission was announced following hours of negotiations that took place Tuesday night behind closed doors in what both sides described as a much-needed if torturous attempt at dialogue in a nation polarized by 15 years of socialist rule.
Heading into the meeting the government had insisted that any investigation of the protests be led by Congress, which it dominates. But it partially met the opposition's demands for an independent commission by agreeing to include national figures trusted by both sides.
The talk, which began last week, are being sponsored by the Vatican as well as Colombia, Brazil and Ecuador.

Let me know what you sail so I can tear a strip off it
I don't mean to disregard your opinions. You do seem to know what you're talking about for the most part. Yes there have been some badly made Newports and yes the fiberglass is primative. Mine was built much later in the production run and the resin pockets and bad lay up you speak of don't seem to be a problem with mine, although she is an inch thick below the water line. I have installed large backing plates on high stress areas so that I won't get a scar from any fittings ripping out of the deck. With the deep keel (6ft) and the mkII rudder she handles well even with my brother flying the chute way too high as he often does and a fifteen foot following sea. I know 18000lbs isn't really heavy. That wasn't the point I was trying to make. I was refering to the ballast ratio. Speaking of numbers, I'll let you look up the ultimate stability rating yourself. And I appreciate that you've sailed these before but I own one, and it isn't older than I am like the one's you've been on. She's not perfect. I've made a lot of modifications. To say that she's poorly built is unfair and you have to admit the hull design is one of C&C's better. You can't blame a sailor for getting defensive about his Vessel. As for the size and the comments about the cost. Well, she was bigger than I was looking for, but I went for a sail on her and fell in love, you've sailed them so you know how they move. As for people's coments about the cost of cruising. I's been a long road to get here. The boat I bought has been offshore recently and has extensive equipment uncluding monitor wind vane, good sails, and various electronics. The best part is the set up is exactly what I wanted. Simple. Simple basic systems, no fancy chart plotters and air conditioning. I'm young with a young crew. We can rough it, to a point. She still needs a lot of work but at may age you can afford these things when you don't have a lot of other financial obligations. I also work as a forest firefighter for the government so I make good money and have the winter to ge the boat ready. Thanks again for the entertaining discussion.

Portland Timbers general manager Gavin Wilkinson admits he is thrilled to see the club flourishing so much in 2013.
The Timbers currently sit second overall on the MLS table on 33 points from 19 matches which is one point behind what they recorded for the entire 2012 campaign.
During that season, the third-year MLS club sacked head coach John Spencer with Wilkinson taking the role as interim coach prior to Caleb Porter's appointment ahead of this year.
After some inner turmoil and subpar results, the Timbers are now looking like the belong in North America's top flight and Wilkinson is delighted.
"I've been around the sport long enough to know everyone is entitled to an opinion," he told the Portland Tribune.
"I'm delighted that the organization has turned a corner and is heading in the right direction. To appreciate those times, you've got to go through some tough times. It's just the nature of life, I guess.
"I don't do my job to keep the masses happy. I do it to help the organization be successful. We have a tremendous fan base, they're entitled to their opinion, and I appreciate their opinion."
He added: "Caleb and I took a lot of time toward the end of last year in developing a road map for the club — the culture, the philosophy, the principles of how he wanted to see the team play.
"You can have players who have the ability. A lot of it comes down to how do you get the most out of them on a day-to-day basis. That's where Caleb has done a tremendous job."
