Welcome to all
We were a family of 5 traveling for the first time to a non-English-speaking country. This apartment was perfect for our needs - 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds (although we didn't use one of the twins and saved a little money). The huge street-side windows and even a balcony were a special treat! Close to a Metro station, bistros, patisseries (awesome pasteries and desserts - oh, love that French baking!). Just a hint - "brasserie" means brewery so no food there, and the "restaurants/bistros" don't start dinner until later in the evening.
Arlette was right there to show us all around the apartment and collect final payment/security deposit. Felt so comfortable with everything. She even was willing to meet us really early for check-out so we could get to DeGaulle with plenty of time to check in for our morning flight. She left us with info on a great bus touring company - L'OpenTour - great way to see the major sites with hop-on, hop-off ability.
A perfect place to unwind after a long day of exploring the many facets of Paris!
Cet appartement cossu est idéal pour une famille. Proche de tous les commerces, restaurants et de tous les points d'entrée vers Paris (Métro, Bus). Le lieu est calme, sécurisé et vous pouvez même prévoir en option un parking fermé. La propriétaire est d'une bienveillance exemplaire, toujours prête à améliorer votre séjour et à vous conseiller habilement. Bref un endroit où on se sent bien et où on à envie de rester plus longtemps...
Thanks, Arlette for the nice apartment! We spend there 3 nights with 5 adults and 1 kid.
Positive things:
- clean appartment
- beds are very good
- a lot of kitchen stuff
- the apartment is on the silent street at night and on weekends
- streets are secure as well as the house
- big dining/living room
- friendly and helpful owner
Negative things
- the apartment looks a bit more used as it is on the photos but it is nice anyway
- one of the bathrooms that is on the photo was not in the apartment or maybe was just closed...
- the knifes are blunt
The apartment is in Paris but not close to any well-known picturesque places, e.g. from apartment to Louvre with direct line 30 minutes. So plan a lot of time to get to the apartment. It is better anyway to go by bus in Paris with kids.
Appartement très agréable, bien équipé et bien situé dans un immeuble agréable. tout est top et l'acceuil sympathique et ponctuel. 6 personnes séjourne à l'aise, proche du métro et avec des possibilités de stationnement facile à 3 euros par jour. Je vous le recommande vivement.
We had fantastic stay in this apartment - everything was very clean, quiet area around, 5 minutes to walk to the park. Also very practical 5 minutes away to walk to the Monoprix food store with great selection of top quality food (fresh meet+fish as well)Our kids enjoyed it very much. The owner was very friendly, helped us on late arrival and was very flexible on arrival/departure hours. Subway station is 5 minutes away, it takes about 20 minutes by subway to the center (depending where would you like to go), no big deal. We're looking forward to get back to Paris, and renting the same apartment again. Definitely would recommend to families with kids, who enjoy spending time in green areas.
Très bon accueil avec une parfaite précision dans les horaires. Propriétaire sympathique et de bons conseils. Propreté irréprochable.
A recommander.

I'm pretty sure Nadler is my local Congressman. Assuming there's no libertarian candidate or liberty minded candidate from another party, does this mean I am actually giving voting for a Democrat a thought? I'm not saying he's a worthy honest Democrat like Kucinich but should him being 'startled' be considered a good thing?

DATE & TIME: Saturday, February 23, 4 p.m. (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: UIC Pavilion (6,958) -- Chicago, Illinois.
Television: HLN, CSN-CHI. Home Record: Bradley 12-3, UIC 9-2. Away Record:
Bradley 3-8, UIC 4-9. Neutral Record: Bradley 0-2, UIC 2-1. Conference Record:
Bradley 7-9, UIC 6-8. Series Record: Bradley leads, 3-1.
GAME NOTES: The Bradley Braves will pay a visit to UIC Pavilion on Saturday
afternoon to take on the Illinois-Chicago Flames in a BracketBuster matchup.
Bradley has had an up and down season in the Missouri Valley Conference, as
the team enters this tilt with a 15-13 overall record and a 7-9 mark in league
play. The Braves have dropped three of their last four contests, including
Wednesday's 92-84 overtime loss at Drake. Following today's outing, they'll
host Creighton on Wednesday before wrapping up the regular season at Missouri
State next weekend.
UIC is back on campus for the start of a three-game homestand to close out its
schedule. The Flames wrapped up a 1-3 road trip with a 64-53 loss at Milwaukee
on Wednesday. They have had much better luck at UIC Pavilion, where they have
won nine of 11 games this season.
Bradley leads the all-time series, 3-1, although this marks the first meeting
between these two teams since the 2008-09 season.
The Braves coughed up a five-point lead in the final 26 seconds of regulation
in Wednesday's game against Drake. The Bulldogs went on to make 18-of-20 free
throws in the extra session to seal the deal. For Bradley, the loss spoiled a
career-high 21 points from center Will Egolf. Walt Lemon, Jr. finished with 19
points and seven rebounds, while Dyricus Simms-Edwards scored 15 and pulled
down seven boards. Tyshon Pickett rounded out the team's double-digit scorers
with 13 points and six caroms. On the season, Lemon paces the squad with 15.3
points per game, followed by Simms-Edwards with 12.6 ppg and Pickett with 11.3
ppg. The Braves are shooting 43.7 percent from the floor and averaging 67.7
ppg, while their opponents are shooting 43.6 percent and scoring 67.1 ppg.
UIC prefers a slower tempo, as the Flames are shooting just 39.1 percent while
averaging 61.9 points, and they have held foes to 40.8 percent shooting and
62.3 ppg. Gary Talton leads the way with 13.3 ppg. Second-leading scorer
Daniel Barnes (11.0 ppg) warrants defensive attention along the perimeter,
where he has knocked down a team-best 56 3-pointers (.361). Josh Crittle (10.2
ppg, 5.4 rpg) and Hayden Humes (10.1 ppg, 5.4 rpg) handle the dirty work down
low. In Wednesday's loss at Milwaukee, Talton had a team-high 13 points to go
along with eight rebounds and six assists. However, he was also the only
player in double figures for the Flames, who shot just 35.1 percent as a team.
The Panthers used a 15-6 run midway through the second half to take control.
UIC has a chance to close out the regular season strong with three straight
home games. It will be interesting to see how the Braves respond after letting
one slip through their fingers a few nights ago.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Illinois-Chicago 58, Bradley 55

Apple Unveils Mac OS X Snow Leopard
"We've built on the success of Leopard and created an even better experience for our users from installation to shutdown," said
To create Snow Leopard, Apple engineers focused on perfecting the world's most advanced operating system, refining 90 percent of the more than 1,000 projects in Mac OS X. Users will notice a more responsive Finder(TM); Mail that loads messages 85 percent faster and conducts searches up to 90 percent faster;* Time Machine(R) with up to 50 percent faster initial backup;* a Dock with Expose integration; a 64-bit version of Safari(R) 4 that boosts the performance of the Nitro JavaScript engine by up to 50 percent** and is resistant to crashes caused by plug-ins. Snow Leopard also includes an all new QuickTime(R) X, with a redesigned player that allows users to easily view, record, trim and share video to YouTube, MobileMe(TM) or iTunes(R). Snow Leopard is half the size of the previous version and frees up to 6GB of drive space once installed.
For the first time, system applications including Finder, Mail, iCal(R), iChat(R) and Safari are 64-bit and Snow Leopard's support for 64-bit processors makes use of large amounts of RAM, increases performance, and improves security while remaining compatible with 32-bit applications. Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) provides a revolutionary new way for software to take advantage of multicore processors. GCD is integrated throughout Snow Leopard, from new system-wide APIs to high-level frameworks and programming language extensions, improving responsiveness across the system. OpenCL, a C-based open standard, allows developers to tap the incredible power of the graphics processing unit for tasks that go beyond graphics.
Snow Leopard builds support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 right into Mac OS X Mail, Address Book and iCal so you can use these applications to send and receive email, create and respond to meeting invitations, and search and manage your contacts with global address lists. Exchange information works seamlessly within Snow Leopard so users can take advantage of OS X only features such as fast Spotlight(TM) searches and Quick Look previews. Snow Leopard is the only desktop operating system with out of the box support for Exchange 2007 and businesses of any size will find it easier to integrate Macs into their organization.
Every Mac includes innovative features and technologies for users with special needs, and Snow Leopard adds groundbreaking new features that make the Mac experience even more accessible to those with a vision impairment. Apple's Multi-Touch(TM) trackpad is now integrated with the VoiceOver screen reader so users can hear and navigate different parts of a window or the desktop by moving a single finger around the trackpad as if it were the screen. Snow Leopard also introduces built-in support for wireless bluetooth braille displays and the connection of multiple braille displays simultaneously to one Mac.
Pricing & Availability
Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard will be available as an upgrade to Mac OS X version 10.5 Leopard in
The Mac OS X Snow Leopard Up-To-Date upgrade package is available to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller between

Over 21,000 seats will be available under the Centralised Allotment Process (CAP) of the Mahatma Gandhi University for admission to undergraduate programmes offered by government, aided and unaided colleges affiliated to it in the new academic year.
In government colleges, 100 per cent seats will be filled through CAP. Seventy per cent of seats in aided colleges and 50 per cent in unaided colleges will also be available under the single window system.
The community merit quota and management quota seats will be filled by the managements concerned, according to the existing rules.
The admissions under cultural or sports quota for outstanding students are also decided by the respective colleges.
As per official records, nearly 129 affiliated colleges under the university offer 97 undergraduate programmes. Under CAP, even student applying for multiple courses and colleges need to submit just one application. The admission process can be tracked online. Marks at the Plus-Two level will decide the weightage for the admissions to the degree programmes.
Break-up of seats
The course-wise break-up of seats for some of the undergraduate programmes are as follows: B. Com – 6,278; B.A. Economics – 1,941; B.A. English – 2,102; B.Sc. Zoology – 999; B.Sc. Botany – 975; BBA – 497; B.Sc. Chemistry – 1,354; BCA – 545; B.A Politics – 180; B.Sc Physics – 1,348; B.Sc. Maths – 1,574; B.Sc Botany and Biotechnology – 30; B.Sc. Food Science and Quality Control – 45.
The number of seats available under CAP would go up, if the university authorities decided to have a marginal increase in intake for each undergraduate programme this academic year. A decision on the hike in the number of seats is expected within a week.
Over 64,645 students had applied for admission to the undergraduate programmes offered by the university under the centralised allotment process last academic year. About 19, 340 applicants were admitted to various courses in affiliated colleges.
CAP was introduced for undergraduate programmes in Mahatma Gandhi University in the academic year 2011-12.
The objective of the initiative is to ensure a fair and transparent admission process. The system eliminates the fear of manipulation at all levels.

The Newton-Conover football team honored its senior class the best way it knew how on Friday — by winning impressively.
The Red Devils tallied 396 total yards, including 126 from senior running back Marquis Pope, on their way to blasting Draughn 41-21 at Gurley Stadium.

St. Stephens running back Marcus Payne scored four touchdowns to lead the Indians to a 35-13 win over the host Tigers on Friday night in Newton.
"They ran the same thing on film" said Foard coach Jason Phelps. "We just could not stop them."
The Maiden football team continue to stay near the top of the Catawba Valley 2A standings with a 14-0 victory against East Burke.
Jake McRee threw a three-yard touchdown pass to Austin Wright for the Blue Devils' first score, while Grant Yowe scored a second half touchdown on a two-yard run.
For the first time since 1991, St. Stephens High School has a conference volleyball championship.
The Lady Indians knocked off rival Fred T. Foard in three sets on Thursday 25-16, 25-16 and 25-22.
With the victory, Saint earns at least a share of the Northwestern 3A/4A championship and earns the No. overall seed for the 3A state playoffs.

Explore how to use the motion tracker and stabilizer built into After Effects and shows how to handle a variety of shots. Author Chris Meyer leads a quick tour of the third-party software mocha and demonstrates the workflow for The Foundry's KEYLIGHT, both bundled with After Effects. The course also covers tracking a greenscreen shot with a handheld camera and replacing its background.
The After Effects Apprentice videos on lynda.com were created by Trish and Chris Meyer and are designed to be used on their own and as a companion to their book After Effects Apprentice. We are honored to host these tutorials in the lynda.com Online Training Library®.
Inevitably, once you stabilize a shot, you will now need to perform some cleanup. The reason is, After Effects is having to animate the position of your original footage layer to make the image contained inside that clip appear stable, and as a result edges of the original clip may start to creep across the composition boundaries exposed in the background. I have created a very bright pink background here, so you can actually see it peaking out around the shot. If I just left my background black, it may not have been so obvious.
That's why I use a really garish Background Color. If you want to set or change the Background Color yourself, go to the Composition Menu; in previous versions of After Effects there was a separate menu item called Background Color, now it's actually inside Composition Settings. I'll Cancel and turn my footage back on. If you want to continue to use this shot full frame, you will need to scale it up and reposition it so that the edges do not uncover part of what's behind. So I'm going to select my layer, type Shift+S to add Scale to my parameters underneath, and slightly increase the Scale of my layer, until I no longer see the background.
Then I need to scan through the entire shot to make sure it's not revealed later on. I have got some issues at the top I need to worry about. Part of what you may need to do is actually recenter this shot, taking into account all the movement and the various dimensions. We'll tie it on this stage and move a little bit to the left, and keep dragging around. And now I feel pretty comfortable that I have indeed filled the entire frame for the entire duration of this clip. Be careful with how much Scaling you need to do. 1%, I am not so worried.
If I had to Scale up more than 10% to refill the frame, I'll need to start thinking of alternative approaches, such as adding a Layer > New > Adjustment Layer on top, and maybe adding some sort of a Sharpening plug into the whole result to sharpen the clip back up. Or I might want to use this as a picture-in- picture effect, whereas inset over a new background. And that whole subject of how to crop an inset picture-in-picture is a challenge in itself, one that we'll go ahead and reserve for the quizzlers later on in this course.
But otherwise, I have successfully stabilized this shot. Normally footage you receive will not have a little burned in logo like this clip does. I need to include that in exchange for Artbeats allowing us to use this footage in our book and in our videos. If you can ignore that section for a moment, you'll see that the rest of the shot is holding up pretty well. Once you are done, go ahead and close this composition, go back to the Project panel, and we'll move onto the next step, actually tracking objects rather than just stabilizing them.

Hirsch gulfstar 45
I am glad that Gulfstar made the list. Some of the Gulfstar models are less than desirable to me. The one I did buy ( my 3rd and last sailboat) is a Hirsch Gulfstar 45. The points I like the best are the the extra ballast compared to the Tartan 44, The huge chain plates like the Morgan 60, the shorter robust mast like the Morgan 41, all the tankage, (150 gal of water and 97 gal of fuel) no teak on the out side of the boat ( all stainless or aluminium), points well but a little loose down wind, looks cool and still sells for about what it did new so a great buy, ( mine cost $119,00.00 new with dual A/C and electronics in 1985). To buy one now in good shape will run from $89,000-$125,000. After 24 years no soft spots and really minor gelcoat cracking. There are pictures of it on my cruising pictures here. Lastly I wanted to say that it is fast, ( won a few races when it newer like the Amigos Race in 1986 to Mexico ) and very comfortable at sea. Too bad they only made a few. My friend looked for a year to buy a boat and he and his wife just could not decide on one.One week after seeing my boat they tracked one down and bought it. It's been about 9 months now and they are still on their honeymoon with their boat. I've had mine 5 years now and still love it. Sorry to be so long winded.

TICONDEROGA-A national organization dedicated to improving the quality of primary care has given Hudson Headwaters Health Network its highest rating. The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has recognized Hudson Headwaters as a Level 3 Patient Centered Medical Home.
"Achieving NCQA's highest rating is the fruit of years of effort to transform how we provide health care," said John Rugge, M.D. and CEO of Hudson Headwaters. "It means that our patients receive affordable, high-quality care focused on their needs and coordinated for their benefit."
Rugge said that Hudson Headwaters' quality improvements reflect its role in the Adirondack Medical Home Pilot, an initiative that offers a patient-centered and preventive approach to the delivery of care.
"In the past two years, we have adopted e-prescribing, switched from paper to electronic medical records, and given our patients access to their medical information on their own computers," he said. "We have increased outreach to people with chronic diseases to help manage their conditions. Our Transition Care program helps people just released from the hospital to understand their medications and ensure that they receive appropriate follow-up care. We also focus on prevention, contacting patients who can benefit from screenings such as PAP tests, mammograms and colonoscopies."
Rugge said that the costs associated with additional services and outreach will be offset by the financial savings from fewer emergency room visits and hospital admissions.
"Patients who understand how to self manage their chronic diseases have the tools to stay healthier, as do people who understand the risks of poor diet and unhealthy lifestyles," he said. "Healthier people can often avoid higher-cost medical care settings, which is why the medical home model has emerged as an important strategy for improving quality and holding down costs."
Rugge cited the work of the New York State Medicaid Redesign Team, charged by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to find $2.6 billion in savings this year from the Medicaid Program, which provides health care for those living in poverty.

'Enter the Dragon' actor Jim Kelly dies
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Actor Jim Kelly, who played a glib American martial artist in "Enter the Dragon" with Bruce Lee, has died. He was 67.
Marilyn Dishman, Kelly's ex-wife, said he died Saturday of cancer at his home in San Diego.
Sporting an Afro hairstyle and sideburns, Kelly made a splash with his one-liners and fight scenes in the 1973 martial arts classic. His later films included "Three the Hard Way," "Black Belt Jones" and "Black Samurai."
During a 2010 interview with salon.com, Kelly said he started studying martial arts in 1964 in Kentucky and later moved to California where he earned a black belt in karate. He said he set his sights on becoming an actor after winning karate tournaments. He also played college football.
The role in the Bruce Lee film was his second. He had about a dozen film roles in the 1970s before his acting work tapered off. In recent years, he drew lines of autograph seekers at comic book conventions.
"It was one of the best experiences in my life," he told salon.com of working on "Enter the Dragon." "Bruce was just incredible, absolutely fantastic. I learned so much from working with him. I probably enjoyed working with Bruce more than anyone else I'd ever worked with in movies because we were both martial artists. And he was a great, great martial artist. It was very good."

New Non-toxic Anti-fouling Marine Coating Provides Protection Against Zebra Mussels
ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich., Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ — Just in time for spring, Zebra Zappers announces their new Zebra Mussel anti-fouling marine coating called Sta-Z-Off.
As toxic anti-fouling marine paints and bottom coatings become prohibited for use in U.S. and Canadian freshwater lakes, an effective non-toxic solution is needed to protect boats from Zebra Mussels, according to the founders of Zebra Zappers, Inc.
Tim Thomas and Kim Fraylick both have been boating enthusiasts for over 2 decades and understand the importance of protecting the hulls of their boats, along with other external components such as the trim tabs, transducers and out-drives. After years of testing various anti-fouling products, they discovered a solution that works. In fact, this unique formula works so well it inspired them to bring it to market. Zebra Mussel protection is now available in a non-toxic protective marine coating called Sta-Z-Off.
"I've tried many of the anti-fouling marine paints and coatings available today," says Thomas, "but this formula really works. Traditional boat paints can only be applied to the hull, leaving other external components unprotected from Zebra Mussels. Sta-Z-Off is water-soluble and dries clear, allowing use on trim tabs, trim cylinders, rubber components, transducers, and out-drives. It also minimizes gel coat staining and makes for super-easy fall clean-up."
"Sta-Z-Off is non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and is not regulated as a hazardous material," added Fraylick. "The product can be applied up to 3 times faster, and covers up to 4 times the area of other coatings. It simply prevents Zebra Mussels from attaching. Its non-toxic formula doesn't eliminate algae growth, but it sure makes it easy to get off. Any algae that remains on the boat is simple to remove with a sponge pad and soapy water. No need for scraping, sanding, or grinding."
Other ideal uses include: docks, pilings, hoists, lifts, buoys and trailers. Sta-Z-Off can be applied on virtually anything to prevent the attachment of Zebra Mussels.

Dan Boutique Jerusalem
31 Hebron Road, Jerusalem, Israel
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The boutique hotel concept has taken a little longer to arrive in Jerusalem, and the Dan Boutique is not exactly your typical boutique hotel. It helps that it was originally laid out as an apartment house — the rooms, while hardly sprawling, never feel cramped. And the style, an eclectic blend of east and west, is clearly not afraid of a little color — not for Dan the dreaded all-white minimalist look. A more traditional and frankly more luxurious option is the King David, by the same owners; for the price, however, the Dan is hard to top.
With a shade over a hundred rooms, it's not terribly small, though friendly service helps keep the Dan from feeling oversized. Some rooms look out at Mount Zion, others the sedate German Colony, and the best views aren't necessarily reserved for the suites — some upper-floor bedrooms have views of the old city, and are well worth a modest supplement.
There's a lobby restaurant serving light meals and a cocktail bar as well, but with little more than a (charming) rooftop sundeck, the Dan isn't meant to be entirely self-contained. Fortuately it's walkable from the Old Town, the German Colony, the First Station dining and entertainment complex, and downtown Jerusalem, with a wealth of excellent restaurants along the way.
How to get there:
Dan Boutique Jerusalem is about a 45-minute drive from Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV). Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange airport transfers.

What I liked:
The front desk was very helpful and friendly.
Breakfast was wonderful with a good selection.
What the hotel could do better:
The bar closed 15 minutes before 11 pm - and several guests were waiting - and the night shift on the front desk did not solve the problem - very disappointing as there was no minibar in the room!

What I liked:
Locatioh was very good and rooms were large, if somewhat strangely configured. We were uograded to superior upon our arrival, which was good. The bed was truly enormous! Excellent room service. Good breakfast (but not that ood on Saturday - see below)
What the hotel could do better:
I am very sensitive to cultural and religious beliefs of the countries that i am visiting. I fully appreciate the significance of Shabbat in Israel. However, to fully suspend hot breakfast and the coffee machine on Saturdays in an otherwise international hotel was a rather strange experience.
As mentioned above, although the room was large, it had very little light and a strange configuration of furniture.

What I liked:
The food selection in the restaurant was quite good and the wine was excellent.
What the hotel could do better:

Client Reviews/Comments
I have had several trainers over the past 10 years. John is the very best when it comes to maximizing your workout time and achieving your results. I have had shoulder and back problems and John has helped strengthen those areas so I no longer need frequent trips to physical therapy or the chiropractor. He is excellent at correcting bad habits that we all form after years of gym classes. I'm sure that over the first six months of working with John, we didn't repeat the same exercise, ever. This took the monotony out of working out and he also keeps you moving during the workout so time goes very quickly even when you are actually working very hard. As an added bonus, he also is very knowledgeable about nutrition.
I met John a fews years ago when he was working at Ballys. I worked out alot but wasnt seeing the results I was wanting. Im in my 30's and have 2 children so getting weight off wasnt as easy as it used to be. after working out with John I immediately saw results both mentally and physically! He's a great trainer and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to get in the best shape of their life! he makes working out fun and his workouts are tailored to meet your own personal needs. Without him I'd still be wasting hours in the gym and not getting results. His workouts are NOT easy!!! But hard workouts get results, and thats exactly what you'll get training with John!
I have worked with several different trainers in the past 10 years; I've seen the most change in my body, in the short 4 months I've been training with John. He's very knowledgeable in all areas of fitness and health. The workouts are very challenging and at points exhausting, but with his encouragement and support I feel great at the end of the session. John recognizes my abilities and limits and pushes me to get the best possible workout. He even manages to smile when I whining. I have and will continue to recommend John to anyone with training needs. Darla Ferriera
John is a very dependable guy. It was really important for me to work with someone that would always be on time to our appts. He lives what he preaches. He's self disciplined and passionate about fitness. He's a lot of fun too. He has a dry personality that takes some getting used to so don't be put off by his initial macho demeanor. He's a truly good guy. You will thoroughly enjoy working out with him. I have seen wonderful results.
I have been working with John for a few months now and really enjoy working with him. I have some physical limitations due to an injury early in my life and John is sensitive to that, but pushes me to go beyond my comfort zone. I always feel that I get a total workout with him. His sense of humor and people skills keep it fun.

Having John Arenas as my personal trainer has been the best and smartest investment I have done for my physical and emotional health. John has helped me lose over 50lbs to date!! John continues to work with me in customizing my exercising plan, setting goals, and implementing a nutrition plan that works for my lifestyle. John always makes himself available for questions regarding fitness and nutrition. John is great at motivating me and challenging me during every session with new and fun workouts. I have accomplished a total lifestyle transformation since training with John. I highly recommend John Arenas to anyone who is willing to make a commitment to a healthier lifestyle. - Christina Campos
I have been training with John going on a year now and i love it! First and foremost i suffer from a lower back injury which because of the pain i cant sleep (insomia). I was taking a load of pain pills and sleeping pills just to get through the day. When i talked to him about my medical issues he began working with me to not only strengthen the muscles in my back but also help me to take the weight off and make me stronger. I am able to sleep through the night now because im not in so much pain anymore and i do not have to take as many pills as i did before. John is a great trainer. He provides not only weight loss but physical therapy exersices for me. He is always willing and open to helping me wether with questions on things i do not understand or when im not able to go in because of my lower back. He encourages me and keeps me on track. I would recommend John to anyone who wants to lose weight, get stronger or better!!!
I have been training with John a little over a month and have been very happy with my results and progress so far!! He is totally aware of my strengths and weaknesses and has really made a big impact on my life as a whole! I don't think if it weren't from the encouragement from him I might have given up already but we talk about alot of health problems and just everyday life that keeps me going! Also having him there just a text away if I have any question he is there! He helps make my workouts Fun and that really helps keeping me motivated!! All in all John knows his stuff and I would recommend him to anyone!!
I have been a client of Johns' for a little over a year and despite the many health hurdles I have encountered throughout my training, he continues to motivate me to keep at it. When I first started my training I could barely deal with 15 minutes of cardio-based training but now it is much easier. I am up to an hour or more depending on the amount of time allotted to me. I am very pleased with my progress with John and the variety of exercises he supplies to keep my body guessing. Our personalities work well together, so if I do come in a bad mood, he will managed to get me to work it out very vigorously which usually by the time we're done; I am either laughing or crying but definitely better then before. He is an awesome trainer.
Been with John for about two years now.
Excellent trainer for me - always has different exercises ready, and adapts the workouts to my present needs. If I'm going skiing, he'll work with me on quads for a couple months. When I injured my back, he implemented a lot of back strengthening stretches and exercises in every session.

ACC: Optimizing for Client/Server Performance
Article ID: 128808 - View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q128808
Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.
On This Page
This article lists tips to help you optimize performance when you use Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) data sources with Microsoft Access.
This article assumes that you are familiar with client/server environments and architectures.
Methods of Accessing DataTo access server data with a client/server application, you can use one or more of the following methods:
Attached Tables and ViewsThe most efficient way to handle server data is to attach SQL tables and views from the server. Microsoft Access stores field and index information for attached tables. This improves performance when you open the tables. Note that you must re-attach remote tables if you make changes to fields or indexes on the server.
Using SQL Pass-Through QueriesIn many applications, you can use both Microsoft Access queries based on remote tables and SQL pass-through queries. Pass-through queries offer the following advantages:
Request Less Data from the ServerRequesting data from the server costs processing time. To optimize performance, request only those records and fields that you need.
Reduce the number of bound controls, such as text boxes, combo boxes, list boxes, and subforms that you use. When a form is opened, each of these controls requires a query to be sent to the server.
If the attached ODBC tables have Memo or OLE object fields, you can set the Visible property of the fields to No and add a toggle button to set the Visible property to Yes so that users can choose to view it.
Some attached tables (for example, a table containing the names and abbreviations of the 50 states) do not change frequently. You can speed up form loading and reduce server load by using a local copy of these tables. You can also provide a way to update the local copy with more recent data from the server.
Optimizing QueriesThe principal method for optimizing queries (after adding appropriate indexes on the server) is ensuring that processing takes place on the server. You should avoid functionality that is not supported by the server, such as functions specific to Microsoft Access or user-defined functions. For detailed information about what must be processed locally, see the Microsoft Jet Database Engine ODBC Connectivity white paper (for more information about this white paper, see the "Microsoft Jet Database Engine ODBC Connectivity White Paper" section later in this article).
To see the Select statement that is being sent to the server, you can set the TraceSQLMode setting. In Microsoft Access 7.0 and 97, you have to edit the Registry to add the option for TraceSQLMode.
For more information on editing the Registry to change ODBC settings, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/139044/EN-US/ )ACC95: How to Add Former MSACC20.INI ODBC Section to Registry
For more information about the TraceSQLMode setting in Microsoft Access 97 search for "TraceSQLMode" using the Find option of the Microsoft Access 97 Help Topics.
For more information about the TraceSQLMode setting in Microsoft Access 2.0, search for "MSACC20.INI" then "Customizing MSACC20.INI Settings" using the Microsoft Access Help Menu.
TryJetAuth SettingThe TryJetAuth setting controls whether Microsoft Access first attempts to log on to your server using the Microsoft Access login ID and password. (By default, the Microsoft Access login ID is "admin" and the password is blank.) If this fails, Microsoft Access prompts you for a login ID and password. Unless you have set up Microsoft Access to use the same login ID and password as your ODBC server, add the line "TryJetAuth=0" to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Access\Jet\3.5\Engines \ODBC key of the Windows Registry. This prevents Microsoft Access from attempting to log on with the wrong ID.
NOTE: In Microsoft Access 2.0, add the line "TryJetAuth=0" to the MSACC20.INI file.
TimestampsOn servers that support them (such as Microsoft SQL Server), timestamp fields make updating records more efficient. Timestamp fields are maintained by the server and are updated every time the record is updated. If you have a timestamp field, Microsoft Access needs to check only the unique index and the timestamp field to see whether the record has changed since it was last retrieved from the server. Otherwise, Microsoft Access must check all the fields in the record. If you add a timestamp field to an attached table, re-attach the table in order to inform Microsoft Access of the new field.
TransactionsUsing transactions when you update or insert records on attached tables in Access Basic can improve performance. Transactions enable the Jet database engine to accumulate multiple updates and write them as a single batch. With Microsoft SQL Server, keep transactions short because they generate locks that prevent other users from reading data affected by the current transaction. Although you can nest transactions using Visual Basic, most servers do not support nested transactions. Microsoft Access sends only the first-level transaction to the server.
Optimizing Recordsets and CodeYou can store all or part of the data contained in Recordset objects of the Dynaset type in local memory by setting the CacheSize and CacheStart properties.
The cache size can be between 5 and 1200 records. If the size of the cache exceeds available memory, the excess records spill into a temporary disk file. Applying the FillCache method fills the cache with server data. To recover the cache memory, set the CacheSize property to zero.
When you use Recordset variables, use only the functionality that you need. For example, you can use the DB_APPENDONLY option on the OpenRecordset method if you only need to add new records to a recordset. If you do not need editing or updating ability, base your recordsets on SQL pass-through queries. The fastest method to insert and update records is to use SQL pass-through queries in code.
MSysConf TableYou can create a table named MSysConf on your server to control background population (the rate at which Microsoft Access reads records from the server during idle time). You can use this table to set the number of rows of data that are retrieved at one time and the number of seconds of delay between each retrieval. If you experience excessive read-locking on the server, you can adjust the table settings to increase background population speed. If too much network traffic is generated by background population, you can adjust the settings to slow it down.
Microsoft Jet Database Engine ODBC Connectivity White PaperAn important source for additional information is the Jet Database Engine ODBC Connectivity white paper. This document discusses the Microsoft Jet database engine version 3.0 and how it uses ODBC.
For more information on optimizing client/server applications, see Microsoft Access "Building Applications," Chapter 19, "Developing Client/Server Applications," pages 523-556
For information on how to obtain the Jet Database Engine ODBC Connectivity white paper, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Fun cat toy
posted 6 years ago
The combination cat scratcher/cat toy is a must for cat owners. Our cats at the haven keep busy entertaining themselves with this. The feather flutters, which attracts them and then when they jump up to get it it springs and they get even more excited. Fun to watch!
Pros: Keeps cats busy
Cons: none

I cant seem to get decent STABLE frame rates!!!
normally runs at 18~30 fps on my system, no matter what I turn down or up, and i believe that I have a pretty decent system, 9800GT 512, X2 6000+ @ 3.1GHZ 2GB 1066 DDR2, the game sets render quality and detail to medium and high respectively, and res @ 1280x1024 the average frame rate I get is around 20fps tho if i can increase the res to 1600x1200, or decrease it to 1024x768 and lower everything to low...I still get roundabout the same average +-1fps...so it would seem like its bad optimization on rockstars part.
For the xbox controller there is a fix, look here, click here
it works.

click here hope this link works as i accessed it from my account, i played for a few hours last night, i got slow down at various times, the settings on the game are shocking at the mo, if i turn my settings down they go back up again? there's nothing really i can improve on this system. so i guess it just needs a little work, they say the settings go so high for future systems and yet it doesnt support sli yet?
hope they sort it quickly as i gave up waiting for conan to deliver what it promised, dx 10 multicore direct etc etc. as systems get more complex more problems are created i suppose, a wider range of beta testers may not be a bad idea before they put a game on the market.
good luck.

I'm gonna hold onto the game for now, even though it is bugging the hell out of me just cos I can't play it.
Another frustrating thing is, only an Xbox controller will work on it (USB adapted of course), which renders my PS2 pad and USB gaming pad useless. Plus, the game won't play unless you are logged into Windows Live and Rockstar Social Club, both required for online, but I don't want to do this every time I just want a bit of single player.

I went on the nVidia site and updated the card drivers, but it hasn't solved the problem. I think I will just take the game back as my specs suggest the game should run ok.

I'm going to stick with my card, it plays games like Bioshock and COD4 perfectly without any noticeable frame rate issues, so I will try updating the drivers.

Two of baseball's best pitchers over the past three years will share the mound when the Angels play the Mariners in a 7 pm start at Safeco Field.
Since 2010, Jered Weaver has a 2.79 ERA, and he finished in the top 5 in the Cy Young voting each of the previous three seasons. Felix Hernandez, who won the Cy Young in 2010 and finished fourth in 2012, has a 2.88 ERA in that span.
Hernandez is unquestionably one of baseball's best pitchers, but he's strangely had trouble beating the Angels, who have won 12 of the 16 games he's started against them in the past four seasons. Hernandez's last meeting with the Angels was perhaps the most memorable of them all. The Angels fell behind 7-0 and rallied to win the game.
Tonight the Angels will go with a typical lineup, including Josh Hamilton moved back to right field after a few games in left. Mark Trumbo and Collin Cowgill were in the opposite corner in the first three games of the trip, and each of them has a better arm than tonight's corner man, J.B. Shuck, which is likely why Hamilton is back in right.
Here's the entire Angels lineup...
J.B. Shuck LF
Mike Trout CF
Albert Pujols DH
Josh Hamilton RF
Howie Kendrick 2B
Mark Trumbo 1B
Alberto Callaspo 3B
Hank Conger C
Erick Aybar SS
And the Mariners...

Recycling and resource efficiency
Much of the material inputs used by European industry comes from secondary, or recycled, sources. Indeed, Europe's 'urban mine' supplies are a considerable and valuable source of raw materials.
As the processing of recycled material requires less energy than the processing of virgin raw materials, recycling can reduce production costs and carbon emissions. While recycling cannot meet all of European industry's demand for raw materials, there is still further potential for greater recycling. This is the case especially for materials used in relatively low quantities and for those contained in complex products. For example, most critical raw materials have a recycling rate below 20%. Apart from recycling, resource efficiency and substitution also play a part in easing the dependence on primary raw materials and import dependency.
In the Raw Materials Initiative strategy document published on 2 February 2011, the European Commission proposed a number of measures aimed at improving how recycling markets work namely through the development of best practices in collection and treatment of waste, improvement in the availability of certain statistics on waste and materials flows, reviewing EU waste and ecodesign legislation, support for research and innovation and the promotion of economic incentives for recycling.
This strategy also reaffirms the need for action to improve the enforcement of waste rules, in particular to tackle illegal shipments of waste from Europe to non-OECD countries where the treatment often results in damage to the environment and a permanent loss of material. A study [5 MB] examining the feasibility of a certification scheme for recycling facilities, based on environmentally sound management was finalised in November 2012.
Many of these objectives have been incorporated into the Europe 2020 Flagship Initiative on Resource Efficiency and the Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe adopted in September 2011.

Burnt Brown Bag Ivy

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.

Burn brown grocery bags to create decorative ivy with the look of metal. Heidi Borchers of Inspired at Home shows us how.
This technique was discovered by Katy Ogle in the 1960's when she was testing the Aleene's Tacky Glue for flammability. Who would have ever thought that you could burn glue to create the look of metal!
- Aleene's Tacky Glue or Aleene's Thick Designer Tacky Glue
- 18 gauge florist wire
- Brown grocery bags
- Florist tape
- Rub 'n Buff – metallic copper
- Acrylic paint – patina green, leaf green, black
- Plumbers candle (or other candle with tall flame)
- Small tree branch
- Soft cloth (for wiping away soot)
- Scissors
- Following the Burnt Brown Bag Technique to create individual leaves by transferring ivy design to grocery bag, applying glue, burning each leaf and wipe away soot. Repeat technique on back side of leaf. While leaf is still pliable, gently bend to add shaping. Apply antiquing colors (see Heidi's tips below). Let dry.
- To create branch effect, wrap each leaf wire stem with florist tape. (Remember that to "activate" florist tape, you need to gently stretch the tape before wrapping around the wire.) After stem wires are taped, gently bend the wires to give more realistic shaping.
- Determine placement and tape each leaf to branch where desired. Add second layer of tape to entire branch starting at one end and wrapping to the other end. This will help to resecure everything. Paint branch and leaf stems with black acrylic paint. Let dry. Apply copper antiquing over stems and branch. Let dry.
Heidi's Designer Tips: It's really fun to experiment with different "antiquing" variations. On this design I used copper Rub 'n Buff along with two colors of green acrylic paints to achieve a patina effect. For easiest application and great results, just dip your finger into the paint (or Rub 'n Buff), gently wipe off excess onto a paper towel, and use your finger to apply in a "dry brush" effect. Repeat for each color. Be sure to leave some of the burnt black showing through. This gives the leaves interesting coloring and texture.

Biography All Music GuideWikipedia
All Music Guide:
The music of Joey DeFrancesco -- an important force in the revival of the Hammond B-3 organ as a jazz instrument -- runs the gamut from soul-jazz and bluesy grooves à la Jimmy Smith to hard bop to the more advanced modal style of Coltrane disciple Larry Young. Born in Springfield, PA (near Philadelphia), on April 10, 1971, DeFrancesco was the son of another Philly-area jazz organist, Papa John DeFrancesco, and the grandson of multi-instrumentalist Joe DeFrancesco, who worked with the Dorsey Brothers. He began playing piano at age four and quickly switched to his father's instrument, preferring the sound of the Hammond B-3 over the modern synthesizers that had become the dominant alternative to piano. He began sitting in at his father's club gigs around age six; by age ten, he was performing paying gigs on the weekends and sitting in with artists like Jack McDuff and Groove Holmes.
DeFrancesco continued to study through high school, drawing from Philadelphia's rich jazz organ heritage and the numerous veteran players who still found work on the city's club scene. At 16, he was the first recipient of the Philadelphia Jazz Society's McCoy Tyner Scholarship, and was also a finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition. He met Miles Davis on a local television show and impressed the trumpeter enough that DeFrancesco was invited on tour following his high-school graduation in 1988.
After appearing on the well-received Live Around the World and Amandla albums, DeFrancesco scored a solo deal with Columbia and released his debut as a leader, All of Me, in 1989. Four more Columbia albums followed (Where Were You?, Part III, Reboppin', Live at the Five Spot), one per year, and DeFrancesco's reputation grew steadily, helped by the fact that as a virtuosic yet vintage-style organist, he was something of an anomaly on the early-'90s jazz scene. His arrival presaged -- and, in fact, helped kick-start -- a renewal of interest in organ jazz of all stripes, and he remained one of the most versatile and advanced of the new breed of players; inspired by Davis, he even picked up the trumpet as a second instrument.
After parting ways with Columbia, DeFrancesco recorded sets for Muse and Big Mo, and began working extensively with guitarist John McLaughlin. His appearance on 1994's After the Rain and his subsequent international tour with McLaughlin brought him to a whole new audience. He spent the next few years working mostly as a sideman, however, and returned to the studio under his own name in 1998, recording All or Nothing at All for Big Mo; he also appeared with his father on All in the Family for High Note. The following year brought The Champ, a tribute to Jimmy Smith (also on High Note), and a new record deal with Concord Jazz, which kicked off with the Mafia movie soundtrack tribute Goodfellas.
DeFrancesco finally teamed up with longtime hero Jimmy Smith for 2000's Incredible!, and issued the Concord follow-up Singin' and Swingin' in 2001, which spotlighted his easygoing vocals. In the meantime, he also continued to record sessions for High Note, including the sequel The Champ: Round 2 (2000) and another tribute to one of his influences, The Philadelphia Connection: A Tribute to Don Patterson (2002). Always a busy and prolific artist, DeFrancesco released five albums in the next five years: 2003's Falling in Love Again, which featured jazz singer Joe Doggs; 2004's Plays Sinatra His Way; 2005's Legacy, again with Jimmy Smith; and 2006's Organic Vibes. Live: The Authorized Bootleg followed in 2007 from Concord Records, while Joey D! appeared in 2008. In 2009, DeFrancesco paid tribute to one his idols with Finger Poppin: Celebrating the Music of Horace Silver. In 2010, DeFrancesco returned with the similarly minded tribute album Never Can Say Goodbye: The Music of Michael Jackson.
Joey DeFrancesco (born April 10, 1971) is an American jazz organist, trumpeter, and vocalist. He is a Grammy-nominated artist who has released more than 30 albums, including recordings with jazz legends Miles Davis and Jimmy Smith. DeFrancesco signed his first record deal at the age of 16 and has played internationally with musicians that include David Sanborn, Arturo Sandoval, Frank Wess, John McLaughlin, Benny Golson, James Moody, Steve Gadd, Elvin Jones, Jimmy Cobb, George Benson, Pat Martino, John Scofield, Joe Lovano, and recorded with musicians that included Ray Charles and Bette Midler.^ Moon, Tom (19 June 1989).

Early life[edit]
DeFrancesco was born in 1971 in Springfield, Pennsylvania. He was born into a musical family that included three generations of jazz musicians. He was named after his grandfather, Joseph DeFrancesco, a jazz musician who played the saxophone and clarinet. His father, "Papa" John DeFrancesco, was an organist who played nationally and received the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame's Living Legend Award in 2013. DeFrancesco began playing the organ at the age of 4 and was playing songs by Jimmy Smith verbatim by the time he was 5. His father John began bringing him to gigs from the age of 5, letting him sit in on sets. At the age of 10, DeFrancesco joined a band in Philadelphia that included jazz legends Hank Mobley and Philly Joe Jones. He was considered a fixture at local jazz clubs, opening shows for Wynton Marsalis and B.B. King.
DeFrancesco attended the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts. During his high school years, DeFrancesco won numerous awards, including the Philadelphia Jazz Society McCoy Tyner Scholarship. He was also a finalist in the first Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition.^ Cordova, Randy (1 March 2009).

DeFrancesco was 16 years old when he signed an exclusive recording contract with Columbia Records. The following year he released his first record titled All Of Me. His performance on All of Me has been attributed as helping bring back the organ to jazz music during the 1980s. That same year, DeFrancesco joined Miles Davis and his band on a five-week concert tour in Europe. He followed up with playing keyboard on Davis' album Amandla which reached #1 on the Contemporary Jazz Albums chart in 1989. DeFrancesco started playing the trumpet around the same time, inspired by the sound of Davis. DeFrancesco was originally spotted by Davis during a performance on the television show called Time Out. He was performing on the set along with high school classmate Christian McBride when Davis asked the show's host, "what's your organ player's name," referring to DeFrancesco. DeFrancesco's recording deal with Columbia include the release of 5 albums. In addition to All of Me, he released Where Were You in 1990, Part III in 1991, Reboppin in 1992, and Live at the 5 Spot in 1993.
DeFrancesco began touring with his own quartet at the age of 18. In the early 1990s, DeFrancesco began collaborating with John McLaughlin, former guitarist for Miles Davis and Mahavishnu. At the age of 22, he became a founding member of the group The Free Spirits along with McLaughlin and drummer Dennis Chambers. He toured with the group for 4 years and was part of several recordings, including the albums Tokyo Live and After the Rain. DeFrancesco is also credited with playing trumpet on the Tokyo Live album.
In 1999, DeFrancesco recorded his album Incredible! live at the San Francisco Jazz Festival. The album was released in 2000 and featured a performance by his idol and jazz legend Jimmy Smith, who joined DeFrancesco for the last few songs of the set. In 2005, DeFrancesco released Legacy, an album that also featured Jimmy Smith. The album was Smith's last recording as he died in 2004 after it was recorded and before the 2005 release, just prior to going on tour with DeFrancesco.
DeFrancesco was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2004 for his record Falling in Love Again. DeFrancesco's career shifted slightly in 2009 with the film Moonlight Serenade, starring Amy Adams and Alec Newman. He played the role of "Frank D" in the film and was also credited as a composer and producer of the film. DeFrancesco was nominated for another Grammy Award in 2011 for Best Contemporary Jazz Album for Never Can Say Goodbye: The Music of Michael Jackson. The recording was released in 2010 as a tribute to Michael Jackson, adding to DeFrancesco's list of tribute albums. DeFranccesco also turned 40 in 2011, celebrating by releasing his 29th recording titled 40, entitling it to critical success both on jazz charts domestically and in Europe.
DeFrancesco's music style has been referred to as a swinging Philly sound which he "embellishes with his own ferocity and improvisation." He played 200-plus nights a year throughout the course of his career, a feat that he cut back on as of 2013. He has received numerous accolades for his performances, including being called the best B3 player on the planet by JazzTimes. The New York Times has called DeFrancesco a "deeply authoritative musician, a master of rhythmic pocket, and of the custom of stomping bass lines beneath chords and riffs." DeFrancesco has also been involved in product designs and endorsements related to digital organ technology both in the United States and internationally.
