With the friendliness that comes from a family-run establishment, this chalet-style guesthouse and restaurant is set on a quiet street overlooking the village. The simple rooms are bathed in buttery yellows and soft pinks, with comfy beds. There's exceptionally warm service from bubbly and genuine proprietress Evelyne Beckert-Grichting, who can be seen making the rounds in the restaurant, chatting with the guests in multiple languages. The restaurant is the town's best, and dishes up Valaisan meat dishes, raclettes, and fondues complemented by excellent regional and Bordeaux wines. The sprawling terrace offers great mountain views, and is home to frequent live music.

Roy Hibbert sad face Background: Roy Hibbert, he of the Indiana Pacers, said to Yahoo! Sports' Marc J. Spears that he wil be the best center in the NBA one day. Apparently, this means he does not realize that Dwight Howard, Marc Gasol, Greg Monroe, Anderson Varejao, Andrew Bynum, Kevin Love, Brook Lopez, Al Horford, etc. are all centers in the NBA right now and are pretty close to him in age. Of course, this means all of them -- all arguably better than Hibbert -- will be standing in Roy's way on his quest to be the best center in the league right now, let along a two-time all star. So, yeah, he is probably never going to be the best center in the NBA, ever. The Charge: Roy Hibbert has gone crazy. The Reasoning for Hibbert (from Spears' story): 'People said I wouldn't be in the NBA,' said Hibbert, the highest-paid Pacer at $13.8 million this season. 'People said I wouldn't be a starting center, this, that and the other. I just prove people wrong. I'm having a slump ...

BATON ROUGE, LA No one could call this one boring. That, of course, was the knock on the last two meetings between Alabama and LSU, the first being settled solely on the feet of the field goal kickers and the second, the BCS Championship Game, being another defensive slugfest that put many on the east coast asleep before halftime. Not this one. Unlike the other two, this year's matchup was not hyped ad nauseam as the "Game of the Century," but it was, undoubtedly, the best show of the year in college football. Not only did both Alabama and LSU find the respective end zones in Death Valley on Saturday night, the game went down to the wire, a heavyweight slugfest with the combatants swinging away til the final bell. Alabama won 21-17 after executing a 72-yard drive in 49 seconds, capping it with a 28-yard screen pass from A.J. McCarron to T.J. Yeldon for the game-winning touchdown. This game had everything fake field goals, blistering defense; there was a late and seemingly ...

Garcinia cambogia is a small fruit that resembles a miniature pumpkin. It is indigenous to India and parts of Asia, and an extract from its fruit and rind is popular in many natural weight loss products. The extract is hydroxycitric acid (HCA), claimed to suppress appetite and enhance fat-burning.

Very happy with my purchase! My final choices were the Liebherr 2062 and the Subzero french door model.
The final pros for the Liebherr was the gallon storage in the doors, the two freezer doors...making the top drawer handy for frequently used items, the popular crisper system, and a $4,000. price difference!
Couldn't have made a better choice; just love it. It came with a nice surprise; the stainless is so easy to keep clean...just wipe with a damp paper towel!
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Doors Did Not Close Compl
Poorly Made Doors Were No
Best Uses
We bought a Liebherr 30 inch depth refrigerator and asked the salesman how easy it was to repair the appliance. He said very easy. This is not true. The door of the refrigerator did not close and was not straight compared to the body of the appliance. The first representaive of the company came to fix the door but did not know how to straigten the door. He fixed the closing mechanism and pulled the appliacne out to fix a noise coming from the back. When he pushed in the appliance he disrupted the waterline to the icemaker. He denied pulling out the appliance to check a noise the refrigerator. The disruption caused enough water to leak into our condo and warp the brand new floor which then needed to be replaced. The manufacturer then called another repairman to help us move the appliacneso the floor could be repaired. Finally they called a third repairman who came from over two hours away, by car, and he fixed the appliacne. THe company did not cover the 3500 dollar repairs on the floor and they had absolutely no understanding of the function of the appliace. The company also does not follow up and return calls. Would NEVER buy anything from this company.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Terrible product and service
Attractive Design
Bad Ice Maker
Not Energy Efficient
Best Uses
Customer service follows scripted responses and doesn't attempt to understand the issues. After 2 years with an erratically functioning ice maker I contacted customer service to see if they had ever come up with a fix. Since I was just beyond the 2 year warranty they offered to send me the parts so that I could either repair it myself or pay to have a local service company install. They had previously replaced the initial unit which they couldn't get to work properly after more than 6 months of failed attempts. The replacement unit worked no better than the one it replaced. I repeatedly questioned the service reps as to whether other units were presenting a similar problem and was dishonestly told that ours was the first such encounter.
We paid a lot of money and received a terrible product. German engineering is highly over-rated and Liebherr's business scruples are non-existent.
I've never been as disappointed with the performance of a product as I am with this one.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Members of the South Carolina Air National Guard are conducting an air defense exercise along the coast.
Guard Senior Master Sergeant Edward Snyder says people might see fighter jets escorting a civilian aircraft Thursday over the North Charleston and Myrtle Beach areas.
Snyder says the Air National Guard exercise includes members of the 169th Fighter Wing from McEntire Joint National Guard Base near Eastover.
The jets are escorting a single-engine aircraft belonging to the South Carolina Civil Air Patrol.
Snyder says the members of the F-16 wing coordinate their exercises with the Federal Aviation Administration.
The exercise is required so Guard members may train how to respond to airborne threats over the United States.

Toyama Warnings and Dangers
if u r comming to live her for more than one year, and depending on driving licence. then u should plan to pay not less than 500 dollars to make the japanese licence.
driving rules in japan should be taken seriously cause the penalty might reach 2000 dollars.
Toyama What to Pack
Better ware a raincoat
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: You would be well advised to take an umbrella with you. Generally speaking, weather in the whole Hokuriku area (Toyama/Ishikawa/Fukui) is unstable at best. I would also advise a rain coat and water proof boots, especially if you're coming in the winter. The streets have kind of sprinkler system that shoots water, sometimes 3 to 4 feet high, so they can clear snow and ice. The result is a very slushy mess and unhappy pedestrians. You most unhappiest moment will be when a car drives at 50mph covering you in ice cold wet slush.
Toyama Off The Beaten Path
The 500 Buddhas
As the legend goes, a wealth merchant who lived a long time felt inclined to collect mini Buddha statues when he traveled around Japan, the result is the very interesting area which most people (Japanese or foreign) have ever heard about or visited. Of course its well known to local foreigners, which is how I came to know it. The area is hidden...more

Toyama Sports & Outdoors

himi , kozakai beach
just sand and water and no waves, just perfect for kids and family. its in himi city just next door to toyama but its much more better than iwase beach, cause the water is alittle bite more clearer.
the beach i went to in himi coast was kozakai beach, which was said the best in himi.
Equipment: swimming equibements, tent or umbrella, food i prefer BBQ.
Toyama Favorites
Free wifi in Toyama
Favorite thing: This time I just came for 2 months so It's too costly to get home network or even getting one on my phone. I just go around catching wifi from the street and the university. Here what I found till now (may 2014).
1- Lawson:
Lawson is almost everywhere and gives free wifi. All what you need is to get a free ponta card from them and activate it online. Once activated you will have to download Lawson app on your phone and enter the details. p.s the password is 000000 and not the one you made online.
You will defiantly ask how can to download the Lawson app if you already don't have internet! Read the next tip.
2- In favore there is a '100 yen/10 mins' internet pc in the 2nd floor in front the kids shops. You will need this to make a starbucks account.
3- In the first floor of favore department store got to starbucks, get the free wifi pamphlet from them and go to the 2nd floor pc, follow the steps and create an account and password.
Back to starbucks (you don't need to enter) and enter the password....voila..... Free wifi....
Hey don't forget to download the Lawson application then.
4- If you go to toyama university (sugitani) there is a free wifi in the coop. also there is also a free wifi for the students and the doctors almost everywhere and the hospital.... you will need to get an ID and Password from the library....
If you are not affiliated to the university ... then you will need to have a friend there who would willingly give you his password.Related to:

There for a while there seemed to be a lot of progress being made on breaking apart the samsung ck24 update. I still have it all broke down in my roms except where we got stuck at the Data3.bin file, nobody could seem to extract anything useable out of it. I constantly travel for my job in the oilfield and have had serious issues with dropped calls and was really hoping to be able to get this radio update ripped out so we could upload it through octans. I broke down recently and bought the windows 7 professional upgrade so i could use windows xp mode and try flashing the official update that way with no luck. I can't seem to attach the usb drive fast enough when it reboots the phone to install the update. I bricked 2 phones trying to get this thing loaded in windows 7 so wasn't really wanting to go that route again. Anyways if anybody has had any luck with this i'd appreciate a response. Thanks!
Has anyone been able to pull the radio part out of the update?

Just an update, I finally did install the samsung update ck24 after downloading and installing Windows XP full sp3 and I am very happy with the upgraded radio. I am getting amazing reception in areas i used to have very poor call quality. The panhandle of Texas, most of Oklahoma, and across Arkansas are my main tromping grounds. I recently drove from Allison, TX to Little Rock, AR and didn't have a single dropped call on the entire trip whereas, before it was a constant battle for me. Just thought i'd throw that out there though...i personally recommend using this upgrade if you are having any difficulty with your calls.

sp_set_firewall_rule (Azure SQL Database)
Updated: November 21, 2014
This topic is OBSOLETE. You can find the most current version in the SQL 14 Transact-SQL Reference.
|This topic is not maintained. For the current version, see sp_set_ firewall_rule.
Creates or updates the server-level firewall settings for your Azure SQL Database server. This stored procedure is only available in the master database to the server-level principal login. The
sp_set_firewall_rule stored procedure is specific to Microsoft Azure SQL Database and is not supported in on-premise SQL Server.
Syntax Conventions (Azure SQL Database)
sp_set_firewall_rule [@name = ] 'name', [@start_ip_address =] 'start_ip_address', [@end_ip_address =] 'end_ip_address'
The following table demonstrates the supported arguments and options in Microsoft Microsoft Azure SQL Database.
[@name = ] 'name'
The name used to describe and distinguish the server-level firewall setting.
[@start_ip_address =] 'start_ip_address'
The lowest IP address in the range of the server-level firewall setting. IP addresses equal to or greater than this can attempt to connect to the Azure SQL Database server. The lowest possible IP address is
[@end_ip_address =] 'end_ip_address'
The highest IP address in the range of the server-level firewall setting. IP addresses equal to or less than this can attempt to connect to the Azure SQL Database server. The highest possible IP address is
The names of server-level firewall settings must be unique. If the name of the setting provided for the stored procedure already exists in the firewall settings table, the starting and ending IP addresses will be updated. Otherwise, a new server-level firewall setting will be created.
When you add a server-level firewall setting where the beginning and ending IP addresses are equal to
0.0.0.0, you enable access to your Azure SQL Database server from Azure. Provide a value to the name parameter that will help you remember what the server-level firewall setting is for.
Only the server-level principal login created by the provisioning process can create or modify server level firewall rules. The user must be connected to the master database to execute sp_set_firewall_rule.
The following code creates a server-level firewall setting called
Allow Azure that enables access from Azure.
-- Enable Azure connections. exec sp_set_firewall_rule N'Allow Azure','0.0.0.0','0.0.0.0'
The following code creates a server-level firewall setting called
Example setting 1 for only the IP address
0.0.0.2. Then, the
sp_set_firewall_rule stored procedure is called again to allow an additional IP address,
0.0.0.3, in that firewall setting.
-- Create server-level firewall setting for only IP 0.0.0.2 exec sp_set_firewall_rule N'Example setting 1','0.0.0.2','0.0.0.2' -- Update server-level firewall setting to also allow IP 0.0.0.3 exec sp_set_firewall_rule N'Example setting 1','0.0.0.2','0.0.0.3'

Gwen Moore, D-Wisc., recounts her own history of being sexually assaulted during her childhood and then raped as a young woman as she and other Democrats in the House push for the unrestricted reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, May 16, 2012. / (AP Photo/J.

Pass the VAWA
The U.S. Congress seems to have given up on protecting victims of rape, domestic violence, stalking and dating violence. Even though nearly one in five 5 U.S. women has been raped and one in four women has been the victim of severe physical violence by an intimate partner, efforts to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) are at a standstill. Worse still, it appears that lawmakers may choose to "do nothing" until after the federal elections in November. If Congress fails to reauthorize VAWA, rapists, batterers and stalkers will encounter fewer obstacles in their persistent efforts to control and dominate. Moreover, victims will have fewer places to turn for help.
We must not let this happen. We need Congress to work across party lines to pass VAWA. In April, the Senate passed S.1925, a strong, bipartisan bill that will reauthorize essential laws and programs for another five years and build on effective, existing programs to meet the changing needs of victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. I am sad to say that both of Kentucky's senators, Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, voted against this very worthy bill (S.1925).
Unfortunately, the House of Representatives took another approach and passed H.R. 4970. Though some call H.R. 4970 a "VAWA bill," it is really a "wolf in sheep's clothing." H.R. 4970 would roll back many protections that are currently available for victims, exclude many victims and take money from victim service providers to create more bureaucracy - in short, it would fundamentally change the purpose of VAWA as we know it.
Fortunately, three of Kentucky's congressmen understood the dangers inherent in this bill and voted against it. We applaud Congressmen Ben Chandler, Geoff Davis and John Yarmuth for their commitment to ensuring that a "real VAWA" is passed and rejecting this disastrous substitute.
Since VAWA was first passed in 1994, it has dramatically improved responses to violence, throughout Kentucky and the United States. Because of VAWA, all states have strengthened rape laws. Furthermore, the number of individuals killed by an intimate partner has decreased by 34 percent for women and 57 percent for men. We desperately need Congress to take action now so that continued progress can be made.
We sincerely hope that Congress will find a way to approve the "real VAWA" (S.1925 or a bill with similar provisions) during this congressional session. Senate leadership, especially Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, must work quickly, or the window of opportunity will close. The "real VAWA" bill says, unequivocally, to all victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking: "We will help you wherever and whenever you need help." Please do not give up on protecting victims.

Romney and Bain -
Did Mitt Romney directly manage Bain Capital after 1999, file bankruptcies and outsource jobs, or did he not? Who knows? His name and signature are on the SEC filings as CEO and sole owner for that time period, so as the CEO and owner, isn't he ultimately responsible for whatever occurred?

Rand is right
Despite the recent decision of the Supreme Court, the president and The Courier-Journal would suggest that the new health care law is not a tax. Perhaps you and the president missed the section of the law which includes a new 3.8 percent tax on the sale of any home.
The Courier had a lengthy criticism of Rand Paul for his suggestions that time should be required for legislators to review any new bill and that the bill should only include one item. Would we really be better served by legislators, like Nancy Pelosi, who suggested that we pass the law and read it later? Many sections of the law do not take effect for years. Would a few months for legislators and the public to digest a 2,000-page document written in complex legal language be harmful?
I'm not a huge Rand Paul fan, but I think he's right on this one.

Misunderstood cartoon
To the two letter writers in Tuesday's C-J Readers' Forum who commented that Marc Murphy's Sunday cartoon is disgusting and offensive: they either misunderstood the cartoon or they are oblivious to the dreadful history of African Americans in this country. I, for one, appreciate Mr. Murphy's sensitivity and sensibility and will continue to look forward for his take on today's events.

Hartford — Democratic leadership announced a proposal Wednesday to spend $200 million over 10 years on enhancing pre-kindergarten programs at public schools throughout the state.
Half of the funds would come from bonding and half from the state's Tobacco and Health Trust Fund, which was created after a 1998 settlement with the tobacco industry over health risks associated with smoking.
The initiative, called Connecticut Smart Start, would give 50,000 children access to high-quality early education with the goal of closing the so-called achievement gap that leaves many children at an educational disadvantage.
"We know that the earlier we can get children, the better," said Karen List, superintendent of West Hartford Public Schools. "We know that the achievement gap starts at nine months old."
Public school professionals spoke of children who showed up on the first day of kindergarten full of joy and ready to learn only to feel humiliated because they are missing basic knowledge, such as how a book opens right to left.
This investment would help prepare more children for grade school, they said.
Towns and cities would have to apply for the funding to operate programs for five years, with the chance for renewal for an additional five years if benchmarks are met.
Municipalities would have to demonstrate an unmet need for preschool and show that they would give priority to students who are eligible for free and reduced-price lunch. Teachers would have to be certified and the preschool programs would have to obtain the National Association for the Education of Young Children accreditation within three years of receiving funding. The classroom size must also not exceed 16 children.
The funds could be used for capital costs such as classroom renovation, operating expenses such as hiring teachers and purchasing supplies and materials.
The program would build on the governor's proposed initiative to create 4,000 pre-K slots for children over five years at a cost of $51.1 million.
"This is an opportunity not just to improve children's education as they go through life but to lift them out of the achievement gap to give them a far better start so down the road we are lifting many of them out of poverty as well," said state Sen. Andrea Stillman, D-Waterford.
Senate President Pro Tempore Donald Williams, D-Brooklyn, said the proposal was the opportunity that Connecticut's children needed.
"Children who experience high-quality pre-K arrive at school ready to learn, are less likely to need remedial or special education services and have higher rates of high school graduation. Connecticut Smart Start will help level the playing field for tens of thousands of children — it's the best educational investment we can make."
State Rep. Andy Fleischmann, who is the co-chairman with Stillman on the Education Committee, thanked Stillman and Williams for leaving a legacy of supporting children's education. Both are not seeking re-election.
"To put your imprint on this and to say this is critically important for Connecticut is so right," Fleischmann said.

Port St. Lucie police officer dies after struggle with cancer
PORT ST. LUCIE — Described as a "true friend" and a "dedicated professional," veteran Port St. Lucie police officer Thomas Eisert died Sunday after a six-month struggle with colon cancer, police said Monday.
Eisert, 41, had been on extended medical leave since Aug. 2011, Chief Brian Reuther said Monday.
"He inspired everyone at the department with his bravery and his character in fighting his illness," Reuther said. "He was an outstanding officer."
Eisert is survived by his wife, Katie, a daughter, his mother, four brothers and other family members, police said.
"He was an officer who had outstanding character, he was a very, very dedicated professional," Reuther said. "He was one of those officers that you want to have more officers like."
Eisert joined the Port St. Lucie police in May 1997 and served in a variety of roles in the department, including K-9 officer, firearms instructor and as a member of a law enforcement initiative involving the U.S. Coast Guard, according to police.
Sgt. Marty Curran said he worked with Eisert since Eisert began at the department, and said they found out their families knew each other for about 15 years before that. Curran said Eisert's stepfather owned a drugstore in Jupiter where Curran's mother worked.
Curran said Eisert knew Curran's mother before he met Curran.
"He was somebody that would literally give you the shirt off of his back whether it was his last shirt or not," Curran said. "He was somebody you could rely on to be a true friend."
Eisert also served in the U.S. Navy for four years. He was a Volkswagen enthusiast and enjoyed riding motorcycles.
"He embodied all the characteristics and traits of what you want to see in a police officer, very dedicated, very professional," Reuther said.
Eisert received a variety of commendations at the department, including the "Thinker" Award.
Eisert died at the St. Lucie Hospice House in Fort Pierce, police said.
Funeral arrangements were not immediately available Monday.
