In the other direction are the beautiful fishing ports of St Vaast La Hougue & Cherbourg. Mont St Michel just over an hour away.
Ste Mere Eglise & Carentan are the 2 closest towns to Utah Beach with plenty supermarkets, shops, tourist attractions including museums and restaurants.
PLUS our Normandy Utah Beach house is set in the heart of The Cotentin and Bessin Marshlands Regional Natural Park which covers 145,000 hectares with 144 villages and towns within this Park in Normandy. Utah Beach is located on the eastern side of the peninsular is set in a significantly important coastal protected area of 12,000 acres with the Beauguillot Nature Reserve/Bird Sanctuary of 1,200 acres 500 meters from our house. The bird watching is incredible especially when the migratory birds pass over.
The area is in stunning countryside and completely different each season. For example in the winter the marshlands flood to create a beautiful watery scenery with the big skies reflected, then in the summer it becomes pasture with cows peacefully grazing. A haven for photographers & those wanting to learn more about photography with the special light here.
The East coast being slightly wilder than the west coast is very unspoilt especially with the government owning vast tracts of the coast line to preserve the natural beauty we are presently under going the transition in to a UNESCO site.
It is possible to have a day out visiting the Channel Islands, Jersey & Guernsey as there are ferries across on a regular daily basis from Granville, Portbail or Barneville Carteret. these ports on the west coast less than an hour away from us.
This area in Normandy is also famous for it's horses with numerous stud farms and training stables. Trotting Horses are trained everyday on Utah beach, further up the coast is Honfleur, Deauville & Le Harve under 2 hours away and you cross the fabulous Pont du Normandie on the way.
Giverney Monet's garden takes just over 2 hours to get to & is worth a visit.
Lots to do and see: There is something for everyone, bird watchers, beach lovers, gourmets, wine lovers, walkers, bike riders, horse riders, wind surfers, sand yachting, sailing, diving, horse racing, interest in the 2nd world war or just generally exploring…the problem here is that there is too much to do!
Yet in the summer the beach is paradise, miles and miles of golden sands a perfect spot for a peaceful read, a sun bathe or a busy day with the family on the beach, beach combing, shell fish gathering when the tide is out, it's safe to swim and it's not crowded.
With the bird sanctuary just a few hundred meters away we enjoy an amazing number of different species of sea birds and ducks. If it is particularly quiet on the beach you may be able to spot the colony of harbor seals.
Huge mussels and oysters beds right opposite our house destined for the finest restaurants and tables in Paris and other gourmet destinations – it is possible to purchase shellfish direct from the farm shops locally.
Gourmet dining & spectacular sunrises: The house is on the beach – the other houses around are mainly holiday homes so are only opened up 2 weeks of the year – it is an incredibly tranquil and peaceful spot, but not completely isolated...we are also lucky enough to have some splendid restaurants around us, we keep a list in the house & do try them out ourselves!
The museum which is undergoing huge renovation project to be finished for June 2012 attracts in excess of 500,000 visitors per year, however, with our house tucked up in the dunes you won't be aware of any activity at all! Near the museum is Café Roosevelt.
Half way between Utah Beach and Ste Marie du Mont is a former farm that has been converted into an equestrian center with hotel and a restaurant.
The nearest village 4 kms away, Saint Marie du Mont which has the most beautiful church, 2 boulangeries, mini mart, bars and restaurants. St Vaast La Hougue 20 minutes away is a UNESCO site with the whole harbor surrounded by restaurants.
We positively welcome dogs, our vet that we have used for the past 13 years speaks excellent English to help with passports etc.
We were working & living just outside London before taking the decision to leave our careers take the plunge & move here to Normandy in 2001, we had no plans to start vacation rentals...it just sort of happened! For me it is the answer to my dreams as I had over 15 years in the Hotel & Catering Industry training as a Hotel Manager...I always yearned for my own hotel...so this is as good as it gets! Almost 15 years later we are thoroughly enjoying running our business,we are passionate about this hidden area of France and offer more than just a vacation rental, we are more than happy to share with you where to go, what to see, how to get there, we've struck a deal with a local dealership to hire cars - have devised a WW2 tour which we will give you at no charge and we'll make reservations for you at restaurants. We have 4 rental vacation properties.
Tansy Forster purchased this house in 2002
Utah Beach is unique, not only is it one of the historic WW2 Invasion beaches in 1944 it is so beautiful with miles of sandy beaches, wild and not over constructed. Our house is built on a parcel of land the French Government sold off just after the war to raise funds...luckily only a small part of the coastline was sold therefore protecting the amazing dunes and wildlife...now it is protected so no more construction can take place. On 1 side of us is the Utah Beach Museum & in the other direction a bird sanctuary covering 1,200 hectares...the bird life here during migration is truly wonderful...we even have harbour seals that pop up in the sea right in front of our house.
For over 15 years we've been constantly renovating and developing not only our Utah Beach house,a beautiful 4 star town house in center of Sainte Marie du Mont & our home where we keep our Llamas & Alpacas 8 miles inland from the beach we have 2 couple only units on or little farm - we have tried to blend old with modern conveniences, to supply every thing anyone could wish for in a holiday home...so, from hair driers to free wifi throughout it should be there! We do get a lot of repeat bookings and referrals... so we must be doing something right - we certainly hope so!
For me Utah Beach house is totally unique & when we stay there I always find myself on the beach (always as the only person to be seen for miles), still in my dressing gown with a cup of tea in my hand and our dogs having a ball...a wonderful way to start the day...
Dear Tansy and Mike,
After a wonderful stay last summer at your Utah Beach we would love to come back next summer with our family.
We would like to know if the Utah Beach House is available
The house comfortably accommodates up to 10 persons in charmingly furnished and very well maintained rooms, which make children of three and grandparents of 70 feel equally at home. The atmosphere throughout is exceptionally pleasant and harmonious, and contributed greatly to the well-being of all of us. Seated at the dining-table with glass all round us, we enjoyed both the comfort of the house and the indescribable and unimpeded view of the beach, the Channel and the horizon. After stepping out of the garden-door, it takes one three minutes, even with little children, to get onto the beach, in itself quite wonderdul with its fine sand for long walks and big sandcastles. Here and on the grass path, the dog owners could take a little more care of their pets' production. Shopping in the nearby supermarkets for the specialities of the region and collecting mussels from the water, we made good use of the well-equipped kitchen and had wonderful family meals - for the grandmother's enjoyment the dish-washer was a great help. Contact with the neighbours was easy and casual. Trips to Bayeux and Caen took less than a day each and added their unique attractions to the holiday experience. In recent years I have not slept as many hours as in this house.
It gives one the impression that its owners love it, which makes it easy to tell the children to take very good care of the nice things in it. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather all week long at the end of October.
I have expressed my enthusiasm to friends about the place and its possibilities. We look back on a perfect holiday.
We just spent a week at this wonderful house right on Utah Beach. There were 5 of us and the house was plenty big enough with room to spare. Everything was just as stated about the house. Tansy and Mike were the best people to work with, so helpful and proud of their beach house. The history of the area is just overwhelming. Walking on the beach each morning and seeing the horses being trained was a real treat. Our 8 year old granddaughter was in awe of everything. Thanks so much Tansy and Mike for sharing you beautiful beach home with us.
The beach house was wonderful. Having the beach so close by is such a dream. The house was comfortable and well equipped. We have 3 children and they just loved it. Tansy and Mike are very helpful and the "Tansy tour" is a must, we all loved the "Tansy Tour". The location of the house is fabulous, beach, supermarket, restaurants, museums everything is close-by. We will recommend the house to our friends and will come back! Thank you Mike and Tansy for sharing your house with us.
Truly a wonderful place to experience Normandy. The surrounding country side was beautiful. We used the house as our base for exploring WWII sites, markets and historic villages. The house was beautifully appointed, comfortable and immaculate. The house was right on the beach and provided a great place to end our " daily French adventure". The kitchen had everything we needed and more.
Every morning we started our day in the conservatory watching the sun rise and ended the day with a glass of wine in the conservatory. Truly a magical place!
Our hosts were actually the best part of our adventure. Tansy and Mike provided great advice about attractions and spoke English and French. They were so helpful in giving us hints about timing of arrival at sites-which helped tremendously in the enjoyment of our experience.
They also have 2 other properties that are wonderful.
If you want to have an awesome experience in Normandy. Tansy and Mike are the best hosts you could ask for. Check them out-you won't be disappointed
Two months later and we are still missing "our" Utah Beach home. So many wonderful memories, from the minute we arrived until the minute we left two weeks later we had no problems, everything was perfect. The house was more than we could have ever expected. The rooms were beautifully decorated and clean. The sun room was a bonus even on rainy days is was bright and cheerful. The fully stocked kitchen was delightful for cooking. The house easily accommodated 6 adults and 2 children. The views are fantastic and the beach is magical, you can easily imagine all the troops coming ashore. It is centrally located to all the Northern Normandy attractions and just a short walk to the Utah Beach Museum and local cafe.
Tansy and Mike, thank you is not enough! The information you provided regarding sights to see, travel directions, restaurants and which seafood establishment to purchase or huitre and moule was invaluable. Our grandchildren are still talking about your anaimals and collecting the farm fresh eggs. Your friendship and time spent on Utah Beach will always be endearing to us. We will be returning!
Our extended family of 10, including 5 kids, have just returned, still buzzing from our wonderful holiday. As seasoned travellers we have come to accept a dollop of realism when renting a house based on an owner's description; more often than not the reality doesn't match the web description but not this time. Tansy's Normandy beach house more than lived up to expectations. Not only was the beach location ideal but the attention to detail meant that comfort and convenience were prioritised. We were hugely impressed with all the little details that insured a home from home feel eg kitchen stocked with every utensil, permanent hot water for anytime showers, Sky tv and internet wi-fi, more towels than we could ever use, an abundance of beach toys for kids and a terrace packed with outdoor furniture. Needless to say the standard of cleanliness throughout the house was also very high. In terms of location we couldn't have wished for better. Every morning we visited a different town, WW2 attraction or market before returning for a late afternoon on the historic and very beautiful Utah beach. Every evening we dined in the sunroom with the sea and setting sun as our backdrop. As a host Tansy couldn't have been more helpful, advising us on our itinery from arrival to departure and even inviting us to her own lovely home so that the kids could enjoy her mini animal farm while the adults sampled some Normandy hospitality. If a holiday which combines WW2 history with a high standard of comfort and relaxation appeals to you then I strongly recommend this perfect Normandy beach house.
In the heart of WW2 June 6th 1944 Invasion Beaches actually ON Utah Beach.
Set in the heart of a conservation area of significant importance we are in the beautiful and stunning Parc Naturel Cotentin et du Bessin on UTAH BEACH. On one side of us to the right there is a bird sanctuary 500 yards from the house, on the left side 500 yards away is the memorial and museum for Utah Beach.
Our local village Ste Marie du Mont was the first village in France to be liberated on June 6th 1944.
Band of Brothers story featured around here for parts 2 & 3.
The 82nd & 101st airborne troops parachuted into the area with St Mere Eglise just 6 miles away.
Further up the coast the other invasion beaches Point du Hoc Arromanches, Mulberry Harbour, are all easy access and well worth a visit. The museums, memorials and information are superb with films in most museums, all of them are really worth visiting...we highly recommend the 360 degree cinema at Arromanches. There is so much to do here, not just the invasion beaches....Bayeux Tapestry, mont St Michel, Caen, St Vaast la Hougue & the Isle Tatihou, Barfleur where William the Conqueror (set sail from), Briquebec, St Saveur Vicompte & Valognes where castles exist from the 100 years war. We have Roman remains, the 1st stone built castle against the Vikings, Hitlers defenses in the Atlantic wall...it's all here!
Other Activities: Bird watching,dolphin & seal watching, boat trips round the invasion beaches or round the headland above Cherbourg, sand yachting,para wind surfing, beach combing, sea fishing, course fishing,
Golf: Golf here is quite fantastic...
Golf Fontenay-sur-Mer a true Links course only 20 minutes away.
Omaha Golf Made up of three 9 hole courses, the outstanding views of the d-day landings beaches from this course make the whole trip worthwhile. An excellently maintained undulating cliff top course, some of the shots possible are not for the faint hearted.
Barneville Carteret An outstanding links course with undulating fairways, sand dunes, water hazards and narrow greens, this 9 hole course (soon to be developed to 18) benefits from outstanding views of the channel islands
An 18 hole links close to the quaint town of Agon-Coutainville and only 5km west of Coutances, Coutainville is a challenge for golfers of all abilities particularly in the wind.
Unique opportunity to catch the build up & some of the events June 6th Week here in Normandy to include military exhibitions, art, sales, parades, parachuting etc. Great party atmosphere in the region with plenty to do & see! 650€ for up to 4 persons 32.50€ per person per night!

Food was very good
A good clean room and comfortable bed
The hotel had recently been renovated and everything was updated, clean, and fresh. Nice beds, good linens, nice décor.
Newly renovated. Clean. Beautiful area
Not that I didnt like it but the check in time. Cant check in after 1030p
location. The only location WiFi worked was sitting on the ancient treadmill in the workout room, right next to the WiFi booster attached to the wall in there!
WiFi is hideous. SpeedTest.net, if it could register had pings of 40ms or more, uploads of less than 1m/min and so slow on download it couldn't ever register! Staff answer was 'well, it works for us just fine!'. Pathetic. Varying checkout times.AWFUL!
Proximity to freeway
Microwave, refrigerator & clock were plugged into a white extension cord..Fire hazard! Toilet wouldn't stop running, bathroom fan sounded like aluminum can banging around in ceiling, chain broken off door, paper thin walls, heater smelled burnt- unusable
Just a nice place, bed, bedding, furniture, location, everything is within walking distance
I liked all the surrounding restaurants available.
The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. They let me check in early after a long drive to rest and clean up for a late afternoon appointment.
The coffee pot in the room was broken.
Well-appointed kitchen, full-sized fridge. Regular plates and silverware for two.
Good location in Campbell for Silicon Valley business travel. It's right by San Tomas Expressway and El Paseo de Saratoga.
Clean, nice room (modestly proportioned, though).
HD TV and DVD player; remote that came with the TV (not with a red button that sells you hotel services and other nonsense).
Common jacuzzi. I didn't partake, but it was in service and looked ok from my window, if you don't mind a jacuzzi that visible from a hotel window.
Small, but decent lounge (the usual plush furniture and TV near the smallish lobby).
Convenient in-house self-serve laundry facility (didn't try it, but it looked serviceable).
Continental breakfeast left a little to be desired; "Eggo-ish" waffles and pre-made French toast.
Wi-Fi doesn't allow uPNP. That doesn't seem like much of a problem for most people, but it means that Chromecast and similar devices won't work with the TV. That'll be a bigger deal in the future, when slingboxes are more common.
Breakfast was free
Rom was dirty asked to be move to another room. Guy at the desk acted like I was putting him out to do his job. Did feel like I was a valued customer. Rooms out dated and the price was not worth it.
Very friendly, professional front desk staff, clean room, great location. Even complimentary breakfast. Definitely great value!
Location / convenient
Kinda old decorations and not very clean
Staff at the door
Can't really think of anything.
1. Room was dated.
2. Room with a view had no view.
3. Parking was expensive.
4. Hotel had no charm or allure (other than the advertised picture).
Used condom wrapper in the drawer. Need i say more.
I had called ahead to make sure I coukd check in late, but when i got there, I couldn't find the front desk person (or anyone) for 5 minutes, then when I finally found her, she found my reservation, but couldn't tell what rooms were available & so had to call her manager, and long story short, it was just over half an hour between when I walked in the front door and walked into my room. She said it was her second day, which I can only imagine is really overwhelming, so I was trying to be patient, and I've had good experiences every other time I've stayed there, but i have to say, this one left a sour taste in my mouth.
We loved the late night pantry
The bathrooms were well furnished... Better than the actual rooms. The staff was very friendly.
True price I paid was not worth the room. It was a very crampt room with ancient furniture. The rooms were a boring shade of beige and our window view was another building being constructed. It's layout seemed more that of a comfort inn with a price tag of 90 dollars a night rather than 150. It's not worth the price, if you have a car go to a comfort inn and save some money cause got the same experience.
Very surprised. Clean up dated. Good breakfast
I loved the penthouse so the kids can stay on the first floor and adults on the upper floor
Not enough blankets ...
Location is good. The room was comfortable enough.
Did not like the staff. Not helpful or accomodating or even warm.
Very friendly staff, convenient to have a bar and restaurant in the hotel. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Most importantly, again, staff was very welcoming, pleasant and made it a very luxurious experience.
Only thing we didn't care for were the rough towels. The robes were pretty dated and hard as well. I know towel rotation and use is very hard to keep up with, but is also very important in keeping the luxury experience for customers. Otherwise, great place to stay.
We had an unexpected overnight stay in the area and saw the positive hotel reviews online. Modern updated lobby, clean. No frills room. Near freeway but feels secure. Across parking lot from a couple of chain restaurants. In the morning, staff gave recommendation for super breakfast location down the road. Very pleased overall.

Spanish Word of the Day Archive
Friday April 19, 2013
tres, adjective, pronoun:
Why don't you have a go at reciting this well-known Spanish tongue twister? It was used by the celebrated Cuban author Guillermo Cabrera Infante in the title of his book 'Tres Tristes Tigres'.
Tres tristes tigres tragaban trigo en un trigal.
(Word for word, three sad tigers were swallowing wheat in a wheat field.)
Incidentally, Spanish does not use the word tercero (third) in dates.
Son las tres.
It's three o'clock.
el tres de abril
April third

I know this has been discussed ad nauseam, and I know i should have first tried to search more before I beg for help, but my brain doesnt want to think about filing my own bikes after fixing others' all day. Anyway...
Im building some king r45's on reflex rims 32h x 2 cross with revolution spokes. calc. came out to 292.2 for the front so I rounded down and found some 291mm spokes in my house (saving me $$$). I could have used my 293mm spokes but I like to round down. I rounded down 1.2mm.
After a careful build process I have a perfect wheel which feels about at tension, but a vast majority of the spokes have about 1-1.5 threads exposed beyond the nipple. some spokes have no threads showing, as well. the wheel is PERFECT in every other way (super easy build up), but will these exposed threads be an issue? I know you need the threads of both the nipples and spokes to be engaged as much as possible , but does anyone have experience enough to say that 1-1.5 threads not engaged will not be an issue? If it is I can man up and buy 292 spokes
Two considerations: I weigh 135-140 lbs, and these will be a race only wheelset. (those facts notwithstanding, I want this wheelset to last me a while barring any crashes)

Bicycle Laws + Safety Tips
Bicycles riders (cyclists) on public streets have the same rights and responsibilities as automobile drivers and are subject to the same rules and regulations as any other vehicle on the road. Each year in California, over one hundred people are killed, and hundreds of thousands more are injured in bicycle collisions. The keys to safe bicycling include being predictable, visible and communicating your intentions to motorists.
Three Feet for Safety Act
The Three Feet for Safety Act is in effect as of September 16, 2014. The "Three-Feet-for-Safety Act" legally mandates that California motorists give bicyclists at least three feet of space when passing them on the road and also provides a way for law enforcement to enforce safe passing.

The Stadium Club seating provides fans with a premium seating option on the second tier up from the playing surface. Clear sight lines of the entire field from the sideline orientation makes these seats great for viewing and comfort. Stadium Club amenities for Bucs games include cushioned wider seats, lounges, premium concessions, and full service bars. Club seating sections at Raymond James Stadium are larger than most other club sections in the NFL, with 27 lettered rows of seats (Row A being closest to the front).

Manchester United legend Denis Law is full of praise for Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini.
While he will not favour either Manchester club, Law does reveal his admiration for Mancini.
He told the London Evening Standard: "I met the guy a few times. He's very good, very nice. I was really impressed with his interview after they won the game here 6-1. It was some result. They don't get that very often. They could have won by more.
"He just behaved impeccably. He was so calm, didn't go over the top. He just accepted that they had won the game. I've watched a lot of City and they have two or three players who really look good: David Silva, Sergio Aguero."

I am not going to lie, I intended to return this jacket after I got it because I got a little carried away at the Black Friday sale. However, when I got it, I fell in love with it. This is definitely one of the best fleece jackets I have had and I have had quite a few. It is definitely designed for a more anatomical fit, which works great for me because I am pretty skinny. It fits me tighter than any other fleece I have, which I like, as it does not get caught on stuff or get in the way during high intensity activities, but if you don't like that, you might want to size up. Quality wise, it is what you would expect from Marmot. Fleece is the nice soft Polartec kind that seems to be making its way into more stuff now days. I would describe it as a mid-weight fleece. I would not describe the outside as a 'hard fleece' facing, but it is faced with a fabric that helps keep the fleece from picking up all the debris bare fleece tends too and cuts the wind down a tad. Great product!
Bought this jacket in September and have worn it religiously since. Your expectations will determine whether or not you like this jacket. It is not meant to be a stand along jacket in temps below 50, in my opinion, though I am 6' 145 lbs with very little god given insulation. This is a great layering piece. Keeps me real cozy under my Marmot ROM. It's also really comfortable and form fitting, hugging the skin really closely. Thumb holes are a huge plus. I can't complain one bit about this jacket.
I don't know why i took so long to purchase a marmot product. This is my new favorite piece of gear- i take it absolutely everywhere. Fit: I am 6'2", 180 lbs with long arms and athletic build. The large is perfect. It goes slightly lower on the waist than most jackets, which i find useful when wearing a pack or layering under a shell. Materials: This is a performance jacket with the comfort level of an old, squishy sweater. Caution- co-workers and girlfriends will steal it, given the opportunity. Despite its softness, the jacket is by no means fragile. Seams are all double-stitched and the outer material seems to be tough, though extremely flexible. The few times i find the size doesn't allow movement, the stretchy material gives me the extra room. I have only owned it for about 2 months, so i cannot speak for longtime durability. Another plus; lifetime registration- easy to set up!I love this jacket! I will definitely look to marmot in the future- and always from Moosejaw!!
My first Marmot purchase but will definitely come back for more. Made very well, warm, and great for layering. This hoodie and a shell would be perfect on cold days. Otherwise by itself during early spring or late fall would be perfect. The thumb holes are a nice add on too.As for sizing I'm 5'11", 200 lbs and the large fits quite well. It seems a bit long in the torso but I feel the medium would be too snug in the shoulders and short in the arms.Highly recommended!!

Analysis: NYSE Sold to Rival Exchange ICE for $8.2B
Thursday, December 20, 2012
The New York Stock Exchange is being sold to a rival exchange for about $8 billion, ending more than two centuries of independence for the iconic Big Board.
Atlanta-based IntercontinentalExchange – an upstart commodities and derivatives trading platform – said Thursday that NYSE Euronext Inc. shareholders can chose to receive either $33.12 in cash, .2581 IntercontinentalExchange Inc. shares, or a combination of $11.27 in cash plus .1703 shares of stock.
The deal has been approved by the boards of both companies, but would have to be approved by regulators.
As stock trading has become less profitable, more exchanges around the world have been trying to merge.
"All of these exchanges are busy trying to buy each other up," said New York Times Op-Ed Columnist and WNYC Contributor Joe Nocera. "They're all in this process of consolidating because profits are being squeezed. It's a tough, tough market. High frequency trading is taking over the market and so electronics matter a whole lot more."
WNYC's Soterios Johnson spoke to Nocera Thursday. To listen to the full interview, click on the audio above.

Men Who Could Steal Your Woman
Here's a secret most men don't want to admit: men are just as insecure as any woman you may come across. It's true. That's why men grab their ladies a bit closer and hold their hands a bit tighter when they get threatened by some men. Ladies, want to know the guys who make these men scared out of their lives?

NEW DELHI: With China threatening to virtually replace India in the $7.4 billion Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) peace pipeline, Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Murli Deora will leave on a three-day crucial visit to Pakistan on Tuesday evening.
The visit is expected to provide a breakthrough in the long-stuck IPI pipeline issue and also to wrap up talks on the Asian Development Bank backed Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India pipeline.
Mr. Deora will hold talks on the stalled IPI pipeline with his Pakistani counterpart to sort out the transit fee issue that has held back an agreement for almost a year. "It was only after China expressed its interest in the IPI pipeline that India showed urgency for talks. India did not take part in three trilateral talks held during the last nine months without assigning any official reason. Mr. Deora had cancelled his visit to Islamabad in February this year at the last minute," a senior official said.
Transportation fee
Mr. Deora said the issue of "transportation fee" had been sorted out and now the focus would be the "transit fee" sought to be levied for gas transported from Iran to the India-Pakistan border.
A point of concern for the two countries would be a new clause being sought to be incorporated by Iran seeking revision of natural gas price every three years, which India and Pakistan have opposed.

Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne.
Making headlines this week is the polar vortex. And we can report that Hell has frozen over. That would be Hell, Michigan where temperatures fell to minus 13 degrees and even colder with the wind-chill. There are conflicting histories as to how the tiny town got its name, probably from the German word for bright - not because it resembles a fiery underworld. Hell, Michigan is due to warm up today to a balmy high of 16 degrees.

Kennya, you keep dropping one of the zeros in your post. The Coleman Seamach is a 13,500 BTU unit and the window shaker you have now is a 5,000 BTU unit. According to the website you provided the SeaMach is made for the harsh marine environment and would certainly be large enough to cool your boat. Everyone uses a generator to cool their boat when away from the dock, so power is not an issue. The only problem in the above post that I think you will have is changing the centre of gravity and therefore your righting moment by mounting a 100LB unit on deck. It also will have to be well secured to accept the pounding it will take.

2009 BEST Italian Restaurant
Like a Verdian lothario, this town's upscale Italian has a knack for breaking hearts. Leave a place transported by its pillowy gnocchi, and you can bet your Bolognese it'll be dense as lead when you go back for more. Spending more while testing this category than for French and Steakhouse combined, we mourned the fall of every contender, with consistency issues (Bina), new-project distraction (Dante), service glitches (Sorellina), and failure to inspire (everyone else). Sorry for the lame valentine, Rialto, but we've got baggage. Just say your roast duck will remain tender and your stellar pastas will stay true, and we'll break this serial-monogamy habit once and for all.

Introduction / History
The Turks of Romania are often referred to as the Osmanlis, the Rumelian Turk, and the Balkan Turk, (Rumelia means "land of the Romans" and refers to the Balkan Mountains). They are the descendants of the Ottoman Turks who migrated from their central Asian homeland, conquered Anatolia (modern day Turkey), and eventually established the Ottoman Empire.
At its peak, the Ottoman Empire encompassed the Balkan Mountains, Arabia, and North Africa. At one time, the empire also threatened to take over Vienna. Romania was part of the Ottoman Empire for more than 300 years, until the country gained its independence in the 1860's.
Religious freedom was guaranteed to all citizens under the Communist Romanian Constitution, but in practice, religion was not encouraged and clergy were restricted and often hindered in their duties. Religious education was discouraged and, in some cases, totally banned.
What Are Their Lives Like?
During the long Ottoman Empire reign, Rumelian Turks often settled in Balkan towns and served as military personnel or administrators, or worked as craftsmen. During the late eighteenth century, many Crimean Tatars and Circassians from the Caucasus migrated to the Dobruja region, where they were given land by the Ottoman government. The immigrants formed farming villages, adopted the Turkish language and religion, and intermingled with the Rumelian Turk. These Dobruja Rumelian Turk are still a distinctive cultural entity. However, religious, linguistic, and social differences prevented Rumelian Turks from intermarrying with the local populations in large numbers. When they did intermarry, Turkish men usually married Muslim, non-Turkish women. Under Communist rule, the Muslim minority was governed by a Mufti (Muslim leader), whose seat was at Constanta, the capital of the Dobruja region.
Many Turks left the Balkans after Yugoslavia, Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, and Romania became independent countries in the nineteenth century. After World War II, about 200,000 Turks from Bulgaria and Romania were relocated in Turkey. Today, no more than 1.5 million Rumelian Turk remain in Romania, Bulgaria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Yugoslavia, and Greece. Many of the estimated 5.5 million Rumelian Turk who returned to Turkey were given land. Local people call the Rumelian Turk settlements "immigrant villages." The Dobruja Turk who migrated to Turkey have been assimilated in large numbers into the Turkish professional classes and serve in various government organizations.
Lamb, a favorite meat of the Turk, is typically prepared as a pilaf (rice and oil cooked with small bits of meat). Turks relish sweets, and they are especially fond of Turkish delight (a gummy confection usually cut in cubes and dusted with sugar). The Muslim religion forbids drinking alcoholic beverages; instead, the Turk drink lots of strong coffee and yogurt.
What Are Their Beliefs?
While the majority of Romanians are Christian (mostly Orthodox, but also Protestant and Roman Catholic), nearly all of the Rumelian Turk in Romania are Hanafite Muslim. The Turk adhere to the five essential "pillars" or duties in Islam: (1) A Muslim must affirm that "there is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet." (2) Five times a day he must pray while facing Mecca. (3) He must give alms generously. (4) He must fast during Ramadan, the ninth month of the Muslim year. (5) He must try to make at least one pilgrimage to Mecca in his lifetime.
What Are Their Needs?
The Bible, the Jesus film, and Christian radio broadcasts are all available in Turkish. However, very few of the Rumelian Turk in Romania are known to have become Christians. These precious people desperately need committed workers who will show them Christ's love.
Prayer Points
* Ask the Lord of the harvest to send forth Christian laborers to live and work among the Rumelian Turks of Romania.
* Pray that God will raise up prayer teams to break up the soil through worship and intercession.
* Pray for effectiveness of the Jesus film among the Rumelian Turks.
* Ask God to anoint the Gospel as it goes forth via radio to the Rumelian Turks.
* Ask God to strengthen, encourage, and protect the small number of Rumelian Turkish Christians.
* Ask the Holy Spirit to soften the hearts of the Rumelian Turks towards Christians so they will be receptive to the Gospel.
* Ask the Lord to bring forth a triumphant Rumelian Turk church for the glory of His name!

Snohomish boy selected as national ambassador for March of Dimes
Sarah Weiser / The Herald
Kieran Wittstruck, 5, of Snohomish, is this year's National Ambassador for March of Dimes. As the ambassador, Kieran, who was born two months early, travels around the country with his family as they share his story.
Photo courtesy March of Dimes
Kieran Wittstruck was born two months premature at Sky Ridge Hospital at Lone Tree, Colo., six years ago. Kieran grew up healthy after fighting health complications in his first year.
She and her husband rushed to the hospital in Lone Tree, Colo., where they had been living. Doctors tried to stop the birth. It didn't work and her son was born weighing only 3 pounds, 1 ounce.
She and her husband, Shane, hadn't even picked out a name yet.
"You are not prepared at 30 weeks to have a baby," said Shalini Wittstruck, now 36. "From a woman's perspective, you are expecting a baby shower and buying baby equipment."
Fast forward to today and their son, Kieran, has beaten the odds by having no long-term problems from his premature birth.
And Kieran has been selected this year as the national ambassador for the March of Dimes. He and his family, who now live in Snohomish, will travel throughout the country to promote the nonprofit organization that aims to improve health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.
There's only one national ambassador per year, and Kieran also is the first ambassador from Snohomish County since the program started in 1946.
They've already crisscrossed the country and spoken with President Barack Obama in the Oval Office earlier this month.
But with all the attention, Kieran is still just a young boy. What he enjoys the most is inventing spy gear out of tubes, cords and pipes. He is planning to create a spy agency that is comprised of cats.
"It will have a million cats and they are going to catch the bad cats," said Kieran, who attends kindergarten at A World Discovery Montessori School in Everett.
The Wittstrucks believe the work of March of Dimes on drug research and advancement in hospital equipment made a difference in Kieran's health.
Kieran spent a full month at the newborn intensive care unit in Colorado. He suffered from anemia and sleep apnea. Doctors later found a heart murmur and a small benign brain cyst. There were fears his brain and eyes would not completely develop.
Fortunately, Kieran did not need surgery.
After going home, his parents had to closely watch Kieran, making sure he didn't fall asleep while eating and checking on him repeatedly at night, worrying about his weak breathing. They had to take him to the doctor once a week for the first three months.
It wasn't until Kieran turned 1 year old that the Wittstrucks relaxed.
"I started to breathe a little bit easier," said Shane Wittstruck, 36, who works as an IT consultant from home.
Recent national ambassadors for the March of Dimes have not been as healthy as Kieran, said Liz Craig, spokeswoman for the March of Dimes national ambassador program.
Kieran was chosen to be the national face of the March of Dimes for several reasons, including his health and the fact that his parents had been involved in fundraising for the March of Dimes before Kieran was born. The boy also was a regional ambassador for the Puget Sound area for the Washington state chapter of the March of Dimes last year.
"They did a wonderful job on a small scale, we were sure they would do it on a larger scale," said Jennifer Kozicki, event director of the state arm of the nonprofit.
Last year, the Wittstrucks attended several of these fundraisers and shared their story with families going through similar experiences.
Their passion for the cause, openness and Kieran's good health have given hope to those families, Kozicki said.
This is the same thing the family is scheduled to do during the year with multiple trips across the country. They are scheduled to travel to Cleveland this week and then to St. Louis. They are set to appear at several fundraisers including one May 5 at the Seattle Center.
They have visited Florida, Arizona and Washington, D.C. They are not paid for the work, but the trips are paid for through the organization.
Meeting Obama was a high point for the parents.
"He was very gracious for what we are doing and the volunteer work we are doing," Shane Wittstruck said.
Kieran actually enjoyed more a behind-the-scenes tour of the Denver International Airport. He also visited the hospital where he spent so many weeks in intensive care, meeting the staff that took care of him.
In a phone interview last week, Kieran has already learned well his pitch for the nonprofit.
"Support the March of Dimes!" he yelled.
