The Languedoc-Roussillon region
Capital of Languedoc Roussillon, Montpellier is an ideal place to discover a lively city and some of the world's most prestigious heritage sites. Less than three hours from Barcelona and Italy, and just 11kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea in the heart of the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the South of France, Montpellier is the ideal holiday destination, a historic, effervescent city with attractions that rank among the most prestigious world heritage sites.
Along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in southern France, Montpellier has everything it takes to please. A lively and surprising city in the heart of the Languedoc-Roussillon region, Montpellier is vibrant, elegant and artistic. People are drawn here by the city's rich past, former and contemporary glory, intense cultural life and youthful feel.
Its sunny climate and well-preserved historical environment are second to none, nestled between the sea, vineyards and mountain landscapes.
Montpellier and its region are of great interest. You love cities, countryside or sea, sport, culture and landscapes .... You have the choice: festivals, rich historical cities, the Pic Saint Loup, ponds and their productions, wine routes, cultural life, the beach, lakes and gorges of the Hérault, .... And all this in about half an hour.
Access to the beauty of the region is easy, the apartment is located at the crossroads of trams 1 and 2 in Montpellier, and access to the A9 motorway is just 3 km away.
Seduced by Montpellier's designer style and contemporary architectural works, the New York Times named the city as one of the top 45 places to go in 2012 in January : "Throw in a forthcoming futuristic municipal archives building from the architect Zaha Hadid, and this university center and night-life hotbed may be France's most forward-looking city." Seth Sherwood.
City Hall designed by the most celebrated architect in France Jean Nouvel, Pierres Vives building from Zaha Hadid, and the 2 new tramway lines by Christian Lacroix…
The Ecusson is the center soul of Montpellier, you will find all the restaurants, cinemas, theaters and shops you search. This is an entirely pedestrian area, so you will live like a village and enjoy the Languedoc sun at sidewalk cafés, the splashing fountains.
Neighboring the Provence region of southern France, Montpellier is the ideal place to stay and take advantage of the seashore and the many hidden treasures of the Languedoc-Roussillon region. Discover major UNESCO World Heritage Sites, scenic villages and landscapes and vast natural areas such as the Camargue marshland, and the Cévennes and Pyrénées mountains.

Poptopia by Pop Secret
By Diamond Foods
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
At Pop Secret, we love popcorn so much we made a mobile game out of it. Introducing Poptopia, a strange and delicious land where popcorn kernels dream of being perfectly popped and fed to The Almighty Mouth God.
During the game, popcorn kernels fly across the screen and begin to change color indicating the perfect time to pop them. Earn points by tapping the kernels perfectly and feeding the big mouth in the sky. If you take too long, the kernels burn and the Mouth gets upset. Don't forget to look for special power ups that will help you out along the way.
What's New in Version 1.2
Your entire life, it sits. Holding up eyeglasses. Bored off its rump. Maybe it's time your nose got in on the fun. We've got something big for this top secret update. Nostrils, rejoice!

Moving from New York to North Carolina I was extremely nervous with having anyone style/cut my hair. Dealing with bad hair for months, I was ready to make a trip back to New York for a cut/style.

ABSTRACT: We present direct methods, algorithms, and symbolic software for the computation of conservation laws of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) and differential-difference equations (DDEs). Our method for PDEs is based on calculus, linear algebra, and variational calculus. First, we compute the dilation symmetries of the given nonlinear system. Next, we build a candidate density as a linear combination with undetermined coefficients of terms that are scaling invariant. The variational derivative (Euler operator) is used to derive a linear system for the undetermined coefficients. This system is then analyzed and solved. Finally, we compute the flux with the homotopy operator. The method is applied to nonlinear PDEs in (1+1) dimensions with polynomial nonlinearities which include the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV), Boussinesq, and Drinfel'd-Sokolov-Wilson equations. An adaptation of the method is applied to PDEs with transcendental nonlinearities. Examples include the sine-Gordon, sinh-Gordon, and Liouville equations. For equations in laboratory coordinates, the coefficients of the candidate density are undetermined functions which must satisfy a mixed linear system of algebraic and ordinary differential equations. For the computation of conservation laws of nonlinear DDEs we use a splitting of the identity operator. This method is more efficient than an approach based on the discrete Euler and homotopy operators. We apply the method of undetermined coefficients to the Kac-van Moerbeke, Toda, and Ablowitz-Ladik lattices. To overcome the shortcomings of the undetermined coefficient technique, we designed a new method that first calculates the leading-order term and then the required terms of lower order. That method, which is no longer restricted to polynomial conservation laws, is applied to discretizations of the KdV and modified KdV equations and a combination thereof. Additional examples include lattices due to Bogoyavlenskii, Belov-Chaltikian, and Blaszak-Marciniak. The undetermined coefficient methods for PDEs and DDEs are implemented in Mathematica. The code TransPDEDensityFlux.m computes densities and fluxes of systems of PDEs with or without transcendental nonlinearities. The code DDE DensityFlux.m does the same for polynomial nonlinear DDEs. Starting from the leading-order terms, the new Maple library DISCRETE computes densities and fluxes of nonlinear DDEs. The software can be used to answer integrability questions and to gain insight into the physical and mathematical properties of nonlinear models. When applied to nonlinear systems with parameters, the software computes the conditions on the parameters for conservation laws to exist. The existence of a hierarchy of conservation laws is a predictor for complete integrability of the system and its solvability with the inverse scattering transform.Advances in Nonlinear Waves and Symbolic Computation, Edited by Z. Yan, 01/2009: chapter 2: pages 19-79; Nova Science Publishers, New York.

45 year old woman | Burlington, ON, CAN | Seeking men 40-50 within 50 miles
Looking for that certain someone
No mind games. Not looking for someone to "complete" me. Just a normal girl looking for someone who I enjoy spending time with, brings a smile to my face at inappropriate times (making others wonder what I'm thinking about....) and am happy to see when I come home. I have a good sense of humour and look for that in others (gotta be able to laugh). I am close with my family and friends (many of whom I've been friends with since elementary school). I am at a point in my life where I have had many achievements but haven't found that "certain" someone to share my life with. I am not into head games and expect the same. I like being active, enjoy most sports (especially football - watching, not playing - haha) and am open to trying almost anything once. I enjoy good conversation and my ideal date would be to have some good wine, talking about anything and everything.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting

Mods, can we get rid of this d-bag and his ridiculous trolling replies
Did you eat paint chips as a kid?
Send us a postcard.
Your mother would be so proud of you.
(not that there's anything wrong with that)
This guy said and I quote, "That Bellomy is going to have his career come to a fucking halt if he plays against us in 4 weeks lol." Who predicts injuries, thats just wrong.
O$U is a looser team lol ur gonna loose like u always do. miller = sux. meyer = sux. youl b lucky 2 have cooper back after we beat ur azz
But sadly, yes, I could understand about 1/2 of that nonsense.
I wish I were here about an hour ago to witness the fireworks.
you just keep uncorking those zingers; your comedic potential is breathtaking!
He's only coached once against UM as a head coach while at Florida after the 2007 season.
I wish I was you, then I could waste 2 years of my life for nothing. HAHAHAHA, you gave me such a good laugh at your fanbase's expense. Thank you
all the way from Ohio. All this creative expression has given him his first erection since 1979, when Woody punched a player.
Im surprised oregon is 2 after usc lost
Not following you here--a team Oregon beat 49-0 turns around and upsets the #9 team in the country, and that's supposed to hurt Oregon?
It really will not matter if LSU is above as LSU is now playing Alabama. If LSU wins (LOL) then they will jump up no matter where you put them and if they lose they are a two loss team so out of contention. After Alabama LSU has to play Mississippi State and I don't know that LSU can beat them either this year. It depends on the QB and if he can stop throwing to the wrong guys.
RR took the Wildcats to a bowl game in his first season and we stayed home.
the cluster combo of a third-string Qb and Borges' play-calling is a recipe for disaster. Without Denard, that game in Columbus will be embarrasing. I'm not trying stir anything up, but geewiz be realistic. We're in real trouble here.
Hahaha. This thread is awesome.
I'm shocked that another "reasonable opposing fan" turned out to be a troll. Have we learned our lessen yet? Can we stop being so quick to put them on a pedestal?
At least hes gone, the mods deleted his account.
Don't worry fellas, I'm still here.... LOLGOSTATE.
But seriously though.
I really don't understand how what that fool did was fun for him. It seems like an awful lot of work for no reward, comedic or otherwise.
husker4life, you win at life. no, seriously. you must lead one hell of a lifestyle
Does anyone else notice that, as seasons progress, these polls start to achieve a certain amount of synergy? Right now, both of them have the same top five, and if the Buckeyes could appear in the Coaches' Poll, it would be the same top seven more than likely. All in all, there are 12 team rankings which are exactly the same between each poll. If I counted right, there are only three teams which appear in one poll but not the other. This seems to happen more often than not.
In any case, it seems that they've even managed put seven SEC team, six Big 12 teams and four Pac-12 teams. It's like a slow merging.
the 4 team format this year
What they need is a play-in game to see who gets to lose to Alabama.
ND go undefeated so they get trucked against Alabama

Indians, Jason Kipnis reach a six-year, $52.5 million contract extension
Apr 4, 2014, 8:23 AM EDT
Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that second baseman Jason Kipnis has signed a contract extension with the Indians. The details: $52.5 million over six years with an option for a seventh year. The deal was just officially announced by the team. There will be a press conference about it later this morning.
Kipnis, who turned 27 yesterday, is entering his third full season in the majors. For his career he's a .270/.348/.423 hitter and made the All-Star team last year.

Wow,,, Do Baseball players always receives this kind of ridiculous amount of money? I should have asked Renaado before about this…0…0..
- chacochicken - Apr 4, 2014 at 8:46 AM
The irony of "baseball is dying" when the NFL is literally helping kill it's players for far less non-guaranteed money. This is actually a very good contract for a young 4-5 WAR player at 2B.
- renaado - Apr 4, 2014 at 8:49 AM
Ares please.. As a fellow friend of yours I'd suggest to be out on this site for now, you seriously need to know on how Baseball is truly a different sport than others and on how they handle it like a business. As you can see this Kipnis contract here is just a spec on how other MLB stars are getting paid in the Major Leagues. Please, I don't wan't you to embarrass yourself here let's just talk out on this sometime tomorrow.
- notthesicko - Apr 4, 2014 at 8:51 AM
Sounds like a steal for the Indians. Kipnis at under $9 million a year and they get out of the contract before he hits his late 30's.

I work with a guy who hosted him. It is what it is.
- r8rnuck - Apr 4, 2014 at 11:21 AM
oh well that totally validates your statement then…
i'm quite sure a lot of people are doing better than you given that you have to come up with this.
did he bang your gf?? or lets get more consistent…the gf of the guy you worked with??
- jcmeyer10 - Apr 4, 2014 at 11:41 AM
Haha, I don't know if he slept with his wife. Total possibility. All I know is when he was in the Cape League he asked his host to say he didn't know where he was if they asked. I have no reason to doubt my co-worker. You have no reason to believe me but I can assure you I would not say these things without some reason.
Like I said, you don't have to believe me or with the logical conclusion. He might be the guy who would have been on the fence if he didn't get some help.
I believe, for the most part my track record would say I am not a troll. It's just something to think about.

Stan Vanderbeek (1927 -1984)
English (German subtitles)
Copyright 2001: Steven Hutchings
Stan Vanderbeek (1927-1984) experimented with the interaction of man and the Intermedia-Network of film, TV, video and computer graphics. He subverted the industrialized mass-media by revealing their structure in his works.
At first he used collages of magazine- and newspaper imagery or painted directly onto the film. In 1963 he set up the "Movie-Drome", a multiprojection enviroment. The idea was to set up centers like this all over the world and to network them via satellite, enableling intercultural communication between artist communities.
In 1966 he produced computer films with Kenneth Knowlton from Bell Telephone Laboratories (now AT&T). He also worked as "Artist in Residence" at WGBH TV in Boston, at NASA and at the M.I.T. Center for Advanced Visual Studies. As seen in this documentary Vanderbeek explored the man-machine graphical interface and produced works of great beauty.

Alabama Statewide Digital Ortho-photography and LIDAR Mapping Project Introduction Recent years have seen the purchase of an increasing number of LIDAR surveys and digital ortho-photography by municipalities and public agencies in Alabama. Uses for the data include Economic Development, Parcel Mapping, Emergency Planning, Flood Map Modernization, Geologic Mapping, ground-water modeling and management, Highway Planning, and Urban and Suburban Infrastructure Engineering. A single statewide program can be managed and implemented for far less money than state and local governments spend when they issue independent contracts. This program will offer outstanding value to local governments through price breaks achieved through volume (area) discounts. This main objective of the program will be the creation and establishment of a consistent, accurate, foundational base map upon which local government and many regional, state and federal geospatial data applications could be built, working towards producing an efficient statewide spatial data infrastructure. Aerial imagery is the foundation for most public and private GIS (Geographic Information Systems) operations, yet it is being developed by many different entities across Alabama in an uncoordinated fashion. Some areas are essentially "left behind" due to lack of coordination or funding. There are holes in the coverage, varying qualities of product and the duplication of effort leads to higher costs; varying quality, accuracy and age along with restrictions on its access and use. This program will ensure the widest utility of digital ortho-photography and elevation data for the user and producer communities through enhanced data sharing and the reduction of redundant data production. The goals of this project are; - Acquire 1"=200' color and color infrared digital ortho-photography statewide - Acquire two foot contour data statewide collected and processed to meet specifications called for in FEMA's Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners. - Establish a Statewide Mapping Program for the perpetual maintenance of this data set. This plan has been developed based on the findings of the AlabamaView Consortium which are described in the Statewide Digital Orthophoto Fly Plan for the State of Alabama report. This document outlines the projected benefits and cost savings of acquiring data on a statewide basis as well as proposes the methods by which to develop such a program. Specifications The first task for this project will be to develop a common specification for public agency digital ortho-photography and LIDAR surveys acquisition. A common specification will ease the writing of acquisition contracts, facilitate the sharing of data across agencies, increase the overall usability of the data, and minimize cost to the public. While these type acquisitions can be designed for different resolutions, accuracies, and costs to meet particular needs, the likely benefits from acquisition of data suitable for multiple uses far outweigh any short-term savings from acquisitions of less accurate or lower resolution data. Geodetic Foundations The key component to any successful remote sensed data acquisition is the supporting geodetic network used to control horizontal and vertical positioning. In 1994, work was completed on the first order horizontal control network established on a six mile grid throughout the state. The update of this system began through the Alabama Height Modernization Project by establishing a network of high order horizontal marks with high order elevations in 2004. The Alabama Continuously Operating Reference Station Network currently under construction will complete the required geodetic framework to support all phases of the project. This Geodetic Foundation will ensure that all data is collected to the accuracy required and is appropriately tied to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) while providing the cost savings over conventionally controlled mapping projects. Digital Ortho-Photography Digital Ortho-Imagery provides the visual content of an aerial photograph while being as accurate as a map for measurements. These qualities allow users to easily: - Measure Distance - Calculate Areas - Determine Shapes of Features - Calculate Directions - Determine Accurate Coordinates (Locations) - Determine Land Cover & Use - Perform Change Detection Ortho-photography is displayed in E-911 response centers to dispatch first responders to exact locations and for tracking incoming calls from mobile phones. Police in squad cars and rescue workers in fire trucks analyze ortho-photography before responding to emergencies. Digital images are used to collect a wide variety of information, including transportation routes, wetlands, streams, shorelines, building outlines, timber stands, land use patterns, farm fields, and crop types. Local governments rely on ortho-photography to map land property boundaries and to manage their streets and other infrastructure assets. Ortho-photography serves as a seamless base map layer to which many other layers are registered. It provides visual information for the following partial list of applications. - Homeland Security, Homeland Defense & Emergency Management - Economic Development - Public Safety Planning, Response & Mitigation - Tax Parcel Mapping - Transportation Management, Operations & Planning - Utilities Management, Operations & Planning - Land Planning and Zoning - Drainage Planning & Management - Code & Permit Enforcement - Agriculture - Insurance - Surveying & Mapping - Environmental Management, Planning & Regulation - Education - Natural Resource Inventories and Assessments LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) LIDAR is a technology that employs an airborne scanning laser rangefinder to produce detailed and accurate topographic surveys. LIDAR can be used to accurately measure the topography of the ground, even where overlying vegetation is quite dense. As the technology has matured, and the analysis and utilization of the entire LIDAR signal has improved and increased, utilizations of the entire dataset and not simply bare earth derivatives have developed dramatically. LIDAR data are being utilized extensively in the forestry and ecology realms, and the new uses are being demonstrated in feature extraction of man-made structures in urban settings for building delineations and emergency response and homeland security purposes. The opportunity to begin collecting LIDAR data is quite advantageous to the Program. In evaluating various options for LIDAR collection and processing, it became apparent that there would be significant synergies in combining the ortho- photography and LIDAR efforts. Evaluation of labor costs for each individual phase of the work confirmed substantial cost and workflow savings could be realized by combining efforts. The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) compiled from the LIDAR will replace the labor required to generate the DEM to support the imagery. In addition, utilizing the CORS network for Air Borne GPS for each phase of the project will dramatically reduce the amount of ground control required to support the project.

These needs may include some or all of the following: - 0.5' resolution imagery - Building footprints - Road Centerlines - Pavement edges - Impervious features - Visible Utilities - Any other photo-identifiable feature which can be collected in a vector format. County and city governments will be given the option to "buy-up" to these options with the pricing based on the level of effort above and beyond the initial acquisition by the state. Additional feature capture or resolution enhancement on behalf of governmental entities for deliverables other than those identified in the Contract will require a separate agreement between the successful Contractor and participating counties, municipalities, or State agencies. Long Term Update and Maintenance As with any remote sensed data, the original acquisition data will have a "shelf-life" or a period of usefulness. As development and growth continue in Alabama, updates for these data sets at regular intervals will be an important component of the project. This project will bring together a group of partners and stakeholders with a shared interest in developing and maintaining a program to support the perpetual maintenance of the data sets. Cost of the Proposal The State estimates that a statewide program will cost approximately $15 million for the initial acquisition of imagery and LIDAR data. The maintenance costs are estimated at approximately $1.3 million per year based on industry pricing. Conclusion The State of Alabama has the unique opportunity to leverage existing partnerships, programs, and funding for the initial acquisition of a reliable, up to date, ortho- photography and LIDAR base map. The justification for this project is simple: Due to the economy of scale, the State of Alabama will spend less money acquiring this comprehensive data set, than the sum of all of the individual projects over the same time period which will still not produce an overall, complete map of the state. The added long term benefits derived from the creation of a state map, improved data quality, standards and practices for data sharing, and community building will greatly enhance the state's ability to manage its resources and provide the citizens of Alabama efficient government services.

So far so good...
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
We booked a studio via booking.com and it was great. We had stayed at Metro Suites previously and the inside was similar....here we just didn't have any views....only the carpark....but it was quite a bit cheaper. The kitchen was fine - fridge, kettle, toaster, microwave and 2 plates on the hob. The bathroom was a huge walk in shower. We had a seating area and big bed comfortable bed. It was very quiet at night. Also had free access to a gym and pool around the corner. Would recommend

Kona Grill & Motorworks Brewery June 15, 2015Posted by nrhatch in Exercise & Fitness, Food & Drink, Fun & Games, Humor.

A few weeks back, we went out for Happy Hour, starting with rum tasting at the Drum Circle Distillery.
A few happy hours later, we ended the outing at Kona Grill where we shared an appetizer portion of smoked gouda fondue with pretzel bites and apple slices for dipping.
One appetizer and neither of us needed dinner that night.
To make sure I got my full intake of salt, I ordered a margarita.
Two days later, we went to Motorworks Brewery ~ the largest beer garden in Florida.
There, we enjoyed great music, gorgeous weather, good beer.
We used the putting green, tossed bean bags at Corn Holes, and rolled Bocce Balls around.
We were about to leave and a couple from Tampa offered to buy me another flight of beer. How could I refuse?
Aah . . . that's better!

Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.
The pharmacist at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?'
'Eight', the boy replied.
The man continued, 'Do you know what these are used for?'
The boy replied, 'Not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four."
"Oh, really?" the pharmacist replied with a grin. "How's that?"
"We saw on TV that if you buy these you can swim, play tennis and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do none of those things."

For many things, it's slow and steady progress (not perfection) that helps us manifest change.
For others, cold turkey works best.
Gobble. Gobble.
For example, switching from regular milk to skim milk or from dairy milk to almond or soy milk is harder if we alternate back and forth. We don't acclimate to the new milk until we STOP drinking the old milk.
The same is true of other dietary changes.
Our taste buds adapt to less salt and less sugar, but only after we eliminate the "problem foods" from our daily diet.
Also, change is easier if we don't rely on sheer will power alone.
Most of us are impatient and don't want to wait. Delayed gratification often is not enough to keep us slogging along with the new regime.
If we focus on the short term rewards gained from the behavioral changes we're making, rather than on what we are giving up, it makes it easier to stick with the new behavior until it becomes status quo.
For example, we can focus on how we feel after a vigorous walk, rather than obsessing about the slow-to-move number on the bathroom scale.
Aah . . . that's better!

Exercise releases endorphins and elevates mood.
It improves our fitness and sense of well-being.
It makes us happy.
Exercise ups our energy level, increases our metabolism, and regulates our appetite.
It normalizes melatonin production and enhances the sleep cycle.
It resets the limbic system, and releases pent up stress and anxiety.
Even if we're not tossing rocks, exercise rocks!
It's the fountain of youth.

Work Out Without Working Up A Sweat May 2, 2014Posted by nrhatch in Exercise & Fitness, Fun & Games, Health & Wellness.

In 7 Ways Water Workouts Work Wonders, we touched upon the many benefits of staying cool while working out and getting fit.
Water exercise, or aquatics, is a terrific non-impact fitness tool. Almost everyone can benefit from joining an aquatics class, including pregnant women, out of shape folks, the elderly, and patients recovering from injuries or certain surgeries.
* Water's buoyancy reduces your "weight" by 90%, resulting in less stress on weight-bearing joints, bones, and muscles.
* You're less likely to have sore muscles after working out in water, which makes it perfect for folks with arthritis, back problems, knee problems, or motivational problems.
* Water exercise, done right, encompasses all fitness components: cardio-vascular, endurance, strength training, flexibility, and body fat reduction.
* The water's resistance offers an excellent opportunity to strength train without using weights.
To create additional resistance, cup your hands and pull or push the water away from you, or just run in place.
* Because of the water's support, you can perform stretches that would be difficult (or impossible) on land. As a result, you can move your joints through a wider range of motion and achieve greater levels of fitness and flexibility in and out of the pool.
Being in the water is calming and energizing at the same time. Instead of creaking and groaning on land, you move with the ease and grace of a kid.
And, if you stay in the shallow end of the pool, you don't even need to know how to swim!
Aah . . . that's better!
7 Ways Water Workouts Work Wonders May 1, 2014Posted by nrhatch in Exercise & Fitness, Fun & Games, Health & Wellness.

For people with arthritis, hip injuries, or other joint maladies, working out on land can be incredibly painful, if not impossible. Of course, not exercising can cause those conditions to worsen over time.
If you're caught between a rock and a hard place, consider a third option . . . water aerobics:
1. Exercising in water improves muscle strength. The water's resistance makes movements harder than on land, resulting in faster development of muscle strength, endurance and flexibility.
2. Participants can control movements more easily using the water's buoyancy to distribute the weight load, improve their balance, and reduce the impact on tender joints.
3. Pool exercise speeds recovery after injuries or knee-replacement surgery since the buoyancy allows for full range of motion with less risk of injury.
4. Water pressure compresses the chest, lowering the heart rate and helping blood circulate more efficiently.
5. In a cool pool, participants can exercise longer and more comfortably.
6. Water workouts may also improve mood and mental health. Being in water encourages a more positive outlook, which speeds recovery from both illness and accidents.
7. Warm water relaxes muscles, eases tension, reduces stress, and lessens mental fatigue. It may also promote chemical changes in the brain which maintain critical thinking and memory skills.
Well? What are you waiting for?
Dive in!
Aah . . . that's better!

1. Nurture your body, mind, and spirit.
2. Exercise is the fountain of youth. Regular exercise increases metabolism, regulates appetite, improves mood, enhances sleep, and increases energy.
Need some inspiration? Check out the Fitness-Photo Challenge on As My Camera Sees It and join the 12-week Fitness Challenge.
3. Get enough rest. Go to bed and get up on time so you can start the day unrushed. Take time each day to relax and unwind.
4. Simplify and unclutter your life. Less is more.
5. "Just Say No" to volunteer requests that don't fit into your schedule or will compromise your sanity.
You are not the general manager of the universe. Delegate tasks to others.
6. Slow down. Allocate enough time for tasks. Pace yourself. Tackle major life changes and challenging projects in "small bites." Don't dump everything into your wheelbarrow at once.
7. Get organized so everything has its place, with backups for emergencies ~ an extra car key in your wallet or an extra house key hidden in the garden.
8. Separate idle worries from realistic concerns. If a situation concerns you, consider what you can do to resolve it. If you can't do anything, let go of the churning anxiety. Keep breathing.
9. Take things one day at a time. Don't worry today about what might happen tomorrow. If it never happens, you'll have worried for nothing. If it does happen, you'll end up worrying twice.
Worrying is interest paid on a debt we may not owe.
10. Live within your budget. Don't use credit cards for ordinary day-to-day purchases unless you pay off the bill each month.
11. Talk less, listen more. Learning to K.Y.M.S. (Keep Your Mouth Shut) can prevent an enormous amount of hassle.
12. Do something for the Kid in You everyday. Build a library of wonderful memories.
13. Bring a book to read while waiting in line. Listen to books on tape or uplifting music while driving. Or use waiting time for mindful meditation or creative visualization.
Waiting time does not have to be wasted time.
14. Write down thoughts and inspirations. Keep a folder of favorite quotes on hand. Make time every day for a few minutes of quiet reflection.
15. Having problems? Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until you're in bed to worry about them.
16. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often just a smile away.
17. Laugh. Laugh some more!
18. Be mindful. Use all five senses. Notice the blue sky. Listen to uplifting music. Inhale pleasant scents, aromas, and fragrances. Savor delicious tastes. Give someone a hug.
19. Take your work seriously, but yourself not at all. Sit on your ego.
20. Develop a forgiving attitude. Be kind to unkind people; they need it the most. Hanging on to anger and stale grievances doesn't hurt them, it hurts you.
21. Be grateful for small blessings. Before going to sleep, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. When we look for the best in life, we see it. Gratitude magnifies the good.
Aah . . . that's better!

Cross Train Your Brain April 24, 2014Posted by nrhatch in Exercise & Fitness, Health & Wellness, Meditation.

A few weeks ago, we attended a lecture at Freedom Village on Cross Training Your Brain.
We'd heard the speaker, Dr. Kevin W. O'Neill, once before when he presented A Brain Training Symposium.
Dr. O'Neill reiterated that what benefits the body, benefits the brain:
* Exercise ~ Ball Room Dancing is #1!
* Eat right ~ a Mediterranean Diet is best
* Sleep tight ~ without popping pills
* Don't let the bed bugs bite
* Manage stress ~ meditation is great
* Focus on positives ~ don't worry, be happy
* Interact with friends ~ be a social animal
* Tickle your funny bone chakra
* Learn something new today ~ build synapses
* Share your talents/volunteer/help others
* Develop an attitude of gratitude
* Drinking coffee lowers the risk of dementia
* Eat tumeric ~ curried veggies, please
* Play games, solve puzzles, have FUN!
* Live, Love, Laugh, Learn!
A few key points:
(1) Exercise is the fountain of youth when it comes to brain health. It lowers the risk of developing Alzheimer's, increases gray matter, improves blood flow to the brain, elevates mood, and reduces stress. For a 76% reduction in Alzheimer's risk, try Ballroom Dancing!
(2) Reducing Stress helps maintain brain health ~ try exercise, yoga, tai chi, meditation, or other purposeful pursuits. And get enough sleep. Sleep allows neurons to shut down and repair themselves.
(3) A diet rich in whole grains, fruits, and veggies, and omega 3 fats helps keep dementia at bay. Vitamins C, D, and E are key building blocks for brain health. As is Folic Acid ~ found in dark green veggies, chickpeas, and pinto beans.
(4) Intellectual Stimulation and Social Engagement are beneficial to brain health as we age. Playing games and musical instruments helps ward off dementia.
(5) Go ahead, enjoy your daily dose of caffeine. According to the research Dr. O'Neill shared, drinking 3-5 cups of coffee a day will lower your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease . . . by 65%!
But don't just sit around drinking coffee, R~E~A~D! More on that tomorrow.
Aah . . . that's better!

"We Rest Here" April 18, 2014Posted by nrhatch in Exercise & Fitness, Humor, People.

29 comments
Dad enlisted in the Army and reported for duty on June 27, 1946, at age 18.
His enlistment, at the end of his first year at Northeastern University, coincided with the end of World War II, just before the Korean War.
On August 17th, dad got paid for the month of August ~ $71.78 after all deductions taken out. He sent a $50 money order home for safe keeping:
"The physical training is getting more difficult, but as we are getting used to it we don't get any more tired than we did the first few weeks. Yesterday, the mile that we run after each physical training period was not alternated with periods of walking. We double timed all the way."
"You asked how my score on the rifle compared with the others. I would say that approximately 15-20% of the company made expert, however there may not have been quite that many."
On August 22nd, he wrote Margaret:
"The weather here has started to cool off nights. One army blanket is hardly enough to keep you warm. We have two if we want them. It's a lot nicer sleeping here than at home ~ it is the days that make it uncomfortable.
"This afternoon we hiked 3 miles with 50 pound packs, which included blanket, gas mask, rifle, bayonet, raincoat, mess gear, steel helmet, etc. Also tents. When we arrived, we pitched tents, dug water drain around them, took them down, and marched back. It was just practice in preparation for next week. We camp out overnight then."
"Perhaps you and some of the others would like to know what "Alabama" means. It is the Indian word for "We rest here." Pretty good!"
On August 25th, he reported on firing the Browning Automatic rifle: "It is the type of weapon that most countries call a light machine gun. I got 67 out of 80 which qualifies me as a sharpshooter. I needed 70 to get expert. The officers told us that the majority of the company didn't qualify, that is they got less than 50."
In the same letter, he shared an interesting anecdote:
"We have one fellow in our company that was in Europe during the war. He was born of American parents in France. During the war, he was a spy in the French underground. With forged papers, he went through Germany and Austria, collected information and sent it to American authorities in England. He said he sneaked through the German lines 7 times. He is pretty much of an expert with an automatic because he carried one with him all the time. That must have been an exciting life for a fellow of only 15 or 16. The reason he was picked for the job was that he could speak German without an accent."
As basic training wound to a close, he continued to tease his younger sister Marjorie about being a poor correspondent:
"By the way, isn't it about time you wrote. I don't think that I like your postscripts to Daddy's letters. They aren't very complimentary. Now you know that I wouldn't write anything like that to you. You had better write a good letter back if you know what's good for you. Can't you think of a better signature than Stinky."
In a letter dated September 2nd, he filled his dad in on the next leg of his journey:
"We have only 32 hours of training left now. all the hard work is over. Everyone is beginning to spend a lot of time thinking about going home. The first of us are supposed to leave in about a week. Don't be too surprised if after I am home I have to report out west and get shipped to the Pacific. I think a lot of us are going in that direction."
"Yesterday when I got off K.P. I found a package waiting for me. The cookies arrived in good condition. Tell whoever cooked them that they did an excellent job. Was it Margaret or Marjorie? If Marjorie cooked them maybe you had better say that they were just fair."
Two days later, he sent a follow up letter:
"Today we had a little information given to us in regard to our "delay in route." Most of the company, including myself, is going to the west coast probably to be shipped overseas. They give us a ticket to Cincinnati and a ticket from Cincinnati to our [ordered] destination. When we reach Cincinnati, each of us will buy a round trip ticket home. From this you will probably see why it is called a "delay in route."
"There are only 2 1/2 more days of basic left. Tomorrow we fire the 30 caliber machine guns and the 60 millimeter mortars. This morning we practiced throwing hand grenades. Saturday it is all over. We have graduation, parade, and are given our diplomas or whatever you want to call them."
"The other day we had 4 hours of classes in how to stop riots and house to house fighting. They even had a platoon cause a riot while our platoon moved in on them in wedge formation, with fixed bayonets and gas masks. We even threw some mild gas grenades at them. A lot of fun for us, not them."
On September 9th, he wrote his last letters home:
"We are really getting ready to leave here now. We are handing in all the equipment that they gave to us. Our rifles were just taken. The only things that we have left are our bayonets and foot lockers. Yesterday, we turned in our packs, tents, rifle slings, entrenching tools, etc. Did Aunt Pete tell you about my writing to her and saying that I am earning $82.50 a week plus room and board. This is mostly on account of the G. I. Bill ~ the amount they will pay toward college."
"This Friday I leave here for home. I expect to get home Sunday. I will have to leave in time to get to Camp Stoneham California on September 30th. Camp Stoneham is an overseas replacement depot. I am pretty sure to be sent to the Pacific."
After basic training ended, dad received a furlough and headed north to Vermont for a short visit.
Aah . . . that's better!

5.0 of 5 stars
New York, NY
Complex transactions, interactions with senior bankers, quality work
none that were apparent
It is valuable to work at a firm, such as Evercore, that truly appreciates human capital. Evercore works on extremely complex transactions and allows junior bankers he opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way.
I found this review helpful (1)
Report abuse
Culture, training, quality of work, impactful work
Nothing. I really enjoyed my time and signed my offer immediately.
Come in very prepared. Quality of interns around you is very high.
Highly technical interview process.
It's perfect really.
4.9 of 5 stars
the people, deal flow, mentorship, learning opportunities, having legitimate responsibilities
typical things associated with banking- unpredictable hours
The best part about this firm is the people. I genuinely like the people I work with and actually hang out with them outside of work. It's a environment to be in, and it's fun learning from such smart, yet approachable, down-to-earth type people
I found this review helpful (2)
- amount of responsibility given to interns- supportive nature of coworkers- senior bankers were dedicated to the furthering of the summer analysts' learning
- Did not like the separation between summer analysts based on the product group
Culture is very important when choosing between investment banking firms and Evercore has one of the best cultures on the Street.
4.8 of 5 stars
Firm culture was absolutely amazing - no face time and no senseless work. Junior employees (interns, analysts and associates) were all VERY willing to help cover each other's work when stuff comes up. There's just a huge collaborative atmosphere at work so over the summer, I was never worried about 'competing' with other interns and I definitely see how this culture really flows through the entire firm.Deal flow and deal experience was also amazing this summer. Even as an intern, I got to work on a whole host of amazing projects. The firm trusted me enough to give me real work to do on these projects too so I actually felt like I was contributing.Training program was done in-house by analysts and associates at the firm, instead of farming it out to agencies like Wall Street Training. This means that the training was incredibly personal, very tailored to specific needs and far more in-depth and effective. I learned a lot from the entire program.
We only found out about whether we were getting a return offer on the last day of work, AFTER the end-of-internship celebration dinner (which was the second last day of work) so it made it a little hard to enjoy the celebration since we didn't know if we were actually getting a return offer yet.
There's no doubt in my mind that Evercore is the perfect place to get your feet wet in Investment Banking. The firm is well-respected and you'll get to work on the same big name clients and projects that Bulge Brackets work on, but at the same time the firm culture is infinitely better and you don't feel like just a cog. I can't stress culture enough - if you're going to be working the hours you do in Banking, you'll definitely appreciate the very relaxed, open and collaborative culture at Evercore. Plus, Evercore has historically given out return offers to every single intern so there's no need to 'compete' with fellow interns.
Great people; interesting work; good pay
Unpredictable hours
Good attitude; good technical skills
I found this review helpful (0)
deal exposure
occasional long hours
be prepared to be given a lot of responsibility
You are always learning. The work is super interesting.
The hours are very hard. But, since you are learning new skills every day the time goes by fast.
Work hard. Have a positive attitude. Be very detail oriented.
Be more conscious of time management.
The people were great to work with and the senior people served as great mentors throughout the process.
I didn't dislike anything in all honestly. Loved the experience.
It has a great culture with very smart people.
Access to senior bankers
That it ended
Be ready to take the lead
More in office benefits (ie catered lunch a few times a week?)
