When it comes to sex, both partners definitely go for the big "O". As much as possible, you want to bring your partner to orgasm. Facts have it that almost 99% of men will experience it during sexual intercourse, while women tend to fake it if they do not. There is no need to fake it when you know how to benefit from unforgettable fun sex positions.
Men are most likely to reach orgasm ahead of women. The question is therefore not as much as how to bring your partner to his climax, but how to make him climax longer. Here are some things to remember:
Men will usually focus on their performance first than taking delight in their orgasm. They get their satisfaction from knowing that they have brought their partners to the climax, whether their partners are faking it or not.
To avoid this, you can encourage your man not to focus on how he can pleasure you or you can also take control in delighting your man. By being the active partner during the intercourse, you are allowing your man to focus on what he feels rather than how he performs in bed.
Men reach orgasm at a faster rate than women do. There are times when they simply come, while it takes a lot for women to do so. The key therefore is to help your man hold the orgasm longer so you can come together.
To do this, you need to divert his urge to come. You can employ some delaying techniques such as giving him a sensual massage, or choosing fun sex positions. An example of this is a position that has you on top. This is one good way to restrain your man from thrusting. With you in control, you can guide your man until you come together.
The Female Orgasm
While men want to bring their partners to orgasm, women wish to experience it. More often than not, the male who wants to give it usually gets it and the female who wants to experience it seldom does. The trick for both partners is to get your minds off reaching the big "O" and just let your intercourse flow naturally.
An effective way to divert your attention to bringing each other to orgasm is to do fun sex positions. When you are having so much fun in bed during sex, you will forget about orgasm as a goal, and instead enjoy the process with orgasm as a result.
Before the act itself, the male can already prepare his partner for orgasmic pleasure. For instance, good sense of humor never fails to impress women, and the male can use this to stimulate and arouse his partner.
During the act, you can help your man find the spot that can deliver maximum pleasure to you and make you climax. Guide your man to thrust not just in and out but also up and down. Together, move in circular motions varying the speed and intensity of each thrust, with you matching the moves of your man in harmony. Fun sex positions can make the act unforgettable, as you and your partner reach orgasm together.

The F-35 (pictured) and F-22 fighters have shared sensor information under a Northrop-Grumman demonstration. (Cpl. Ken Kalemkarian / HHS)
Northrop Grumman has demonstrated a data link capability between fifth- and fourth-generation aircraft.
In flight tests conducted in April, the company "validated the ability to simultaneously link and translate both the F-35's Multifunction Advanced Data Link and the F-22's Intra-Flight Data Link to common Link 16 messages," said a Northrop Grumman announcement. Link 16 is the standard NATO data link.
Honeywell Aerospace provided dual-band advanced tactical data link antennas for Jetpack, which can be mounted internally or in pods.
"A total system solution not just a waveform or just a radio is required for fifth to fourth to become a reality," said Jeannie Hilger, vice president of network communication systems at Northrop Grumman Information Systems. "Jetpack implemented a system to allow fourth-generation fighters to access the bounty of sensor information from the fifth-generation aircraft."
"This important capability enabled by our Freedom 550 Joint Enterprise Terminal leverages Northrop Grumman's F-35 avionics development to provide a production-ready, affordable solution for our joint forces," Hilger said.
The April tests concluded the final phase of the Jetpack JCTD. Northrop Grumman was the lead contractor on the program, which was sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command, Pacific Command and the Defense Microelectronics Activity.

Land Judging
Land Judging is a high school competition that challenges students to gain a better understanding of soil structure and land evaluation. Land judging enables each participant to learn how to recognize the physical features of the soil, determine land capability for crop production, and evaluate management practices needed for proper stewardship. Soil, land and home-site evaluation provide a setting for students to investigate the soils in their region, the environment that surrounds them and their effect on their daily lives.
NRDs work with area schools to host Land Judging contests all over the state each fall. Regional winners go on to compete at the state contest.
Range Judging
Range Judging is a high school competition that challenges students to gain a better understanding of Nebraska rangelands which makes up half of the State's land area. Range judging enables each participant to learn how to recognize range plants, range sites and the need for proper grazing practices.
NRDs work with the Society for Range Management, NRCS and UNL Extension to host Range Judging contests all over the state each September.

Sacramento Closing the Energy Loop with Farm-to-Fork-to-Fuel Initiatives
In California, where nearly every town, city, and county seems committed to environmental causes like reducing pollution and converting energy into reusable and renewable forms, it would seem hard to stand out from the crowd. But if you take a look at all the exciting changes going on in the state capital, you'd have to admit that Sacramento might be leading the way in several key waste-to-energy areas. Thanks to strong leadership from Mayor Kevin Johnson (a former point guard for the Phoenix Suns), excellent non-profit organizations, and a healthy supply of private capital and innovation, Sacramento is in the middle of what the mayor's office calls a "farm-to-fork-to-fuel" renaissance.

Hank Gathers - A Champion's Heart
In light of the recent tragedy and Wesley Leonard death I am reminded of another tragic loss now over 20 years later. Below is the an article that I wrote back in 2009 as a tribute to Hank Gathers one of my favorite college basketball players growing up who also died of heart-related issues. May both Wes and Hank's memory continue to live on.
"I have the heart of a lion." - Hank Gathers to Bryant Gumble on the Today Show (1990). Those resounding words will haunt anyone familiar with his tragic death. It's hard to imagine that Hank Gathers has been gone for nearly 20 years, and yet his spirit and love of the game still lives on.
Eric Gathers, known as "Hank" to friends and family was born on February 11, 1967 in Philadelphia,PA where he later attended nearby Dobbins Technical High School. He was teammates with Bo Kimble and together they led Dobbins prep school to the 1985 Public League City Championship. But this was only the beginning of an everlasting friendship and eternal bond that Gathers and Kimble would share. Hank and Bo also decided to play their college basketball together as both were recruited by then Head Coach of University of Southern California Trojans Stan Morrison and his top assistant, David Spencer, however once Morrison and Spencer were fired following the 1985–86 season, Kimble and Gathers decided to transfer to Loyola Marymount University Lions.
While attending LMU Hank became a stand-out player and experienced great success. In the 1988–89 season he became only the second player in history to lead NCAA Division I in scoring and rebounding in the same season. Gathers averaged 32.7 points and 13.7 rebounds per game that season and was on the fast track to super stardom. He was garning national attention even in the smaller and relatively unknown West Coast Conference (WCC). But at that time he was a diamond in the rough and was poised to again be amongst the leaders in college basketball in scoring and rebounding for the 1989-1990 season and there was even talk of Gathers as an out right player of year the candidate. Hank had a bright future waiting for him in the NBA as a sure fire lottery pick that year, but ultimately fate intervened.
On Sunday, March 4th, 1990 Gather's team was to face Portland for a chance to meet in the WCC Championship game. The Lions appeared headed to an NCAA berth and were going to be a headache to deal with for any team that drew them in the first round. This team was talented and with their leader Hank had a chance to shock the World. However, to the shock and horror of fans in attendance Gathers collapsed with 13:34 left in the first half of a West Coast Conference Tournament quarterfinal game against Portland. He had just scored on an alley-oop dunk putting the Lions up 25–13, with perhaps the most exciting play in college basketball. The ultimate highlight reel cut short in a split second as a moment of triuphm turned to horrific tragedy before everyone's eyes. Gathers was frantically rushed to a nearby hospital, however it was too late and he was declared dead on arrival, he was only 23 years old. A later autopsy found that he suffered from a heart-muscle disorder known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Few realized that day as he was rushed to the hospital that this would be the last time that Gathers would ever step foot on a basketball court again, and that he had died playing the sport that he loved and gave so much too.
Ironically the keys to the Lions' success that season and since Gather's arrival could be attributed to Head Coach Paul Westhead's up-tempo style of offense that relied heavily on three point shooting and limited time of possession. As a team they often shot the ball within 10 seconds of gaining possession, and then would counter their scoring flurries with full court pressure defense which would often force many opponent turnovers. According to NCAA records Loyola Marymount still holds the record for being involved in five of the highest scoring games in Division I History.
Later on many critics felt that this fast-paced style of play doomed Gathers to his fate, however it was not the first time he had collapsed on the basketball court. Unfortunately Gather's had previously experienced breathing or heart-related issues on the hardwood during a home game against Santa Barbara (UCSB) on Saturday, December 9, 1989, where he collapsed at the free throw line. Gathers was diagnosed with an abnormal heartbeat or exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia, and was prescribed a beta blocker to help combat this dangerous condition. However, Gathers felt that the medication adversely affected his play, and he soon cut back on his dosage.
After learning of Gather's death the 1990 WCC tournament was suspended and the Lions were given the league's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament based on their regular season championship. Despite the tragic loss of their team leader and with emotions running high the #11 seeded Loyola Marymount Lions made the most of their NCAA Tournament and never gave up hope. LMU made one of the most improbable runs to the Elite 8 that year and perhaps in college basketball history other than George Mason's recent Final Four run in 2006. The Lions shot lights out from beyond the arch in defeating defending 1989 NCAA champs Michigan in the 2nd Rd. by an incredible margin of 149-115. They went on to squeak by a tough Alabama team 62-60 before losing to eventual National Champions the UNLV Runnin' Rebels 131-101.
In honor of Hank, Bo Kimble, who was a right-handed player shot his foul shots left-handed in the ultimate sign of respect for his fallen friend and teammate. He carried on the memory and legacy of Hank Gathers in the minds of college basketball fans across the country who were still mourning his passing. Kimble made all three attempts he took during the NCAAs that year in honor of Hank, and it was truly a touching moment not only for college basketball, but for Sports. It showed that human spirit can stir up some magic and when emotions are involved anything can happen. The team never gave up on themselves because Hank wouldn't have wanted them too. When asked about the team's amazing NCAA run Paul Westhead proclaimed "There's something other than basketball going on here."
Today Hank Gather's memory is alive and well and the Gersten Pavilion or LMU's on-campus athletics facility, is known to Lions fans as "Hank's House". Perhaps Westhead said it best at Hank's funeral, "Goodnight sweet Prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

Syracuse Orange: A Tale of Two 'CUSEs
As a loyal Syracuse fan since the mid-1980's I can say that 2011 has not brought much joy to the Orange basketball team. If one only rewinds back to early January they would find a much different outlook for the team that was 4-0 in the Big East including victories over Notre Dame and St. John's to start the New Year. However, then as the schedule and the teams got tougher the Orange got squeezed. The overall results were as gaugy as the snowfall totals with SU concluding January with four straight losses; the futility continuing to spread into February. No one was prepared for this drastic shift downward in both team moral and gameplay with the exception of Jim Boeheim. The Hall of Fame Coach reiterated the fact that this year's team hadn't been tested and weren't as good as their record would seem to indicate. Despite his team's impressive 18-0 start which saw them rise as high as #3 in the Nation, Boeheim was quick to dismiss thoughts of a #1 Seed or the notion that this year's team was better than last year's. According to Jim the expectations placed on SU's team last season were warranted and deserved. Fans and critics alike strongly believe that barring a key injury (Onuaku) that they would have reached the Final Four, and possibly even played for a National Championship. He was wary of their early season success and knew that the Big East would provide the barometer as to how good they really were, and then those questions about the team would answer themselves. The 2005 Basketball HOF Inductee knew that the Big East would be a monster conference again this year, and that parity would reign supreme further blurring the line between the top and bottom tiers of the league. Boeheim almost seemed to predict his own team's collapse or rather a crash back to reality. However, I doubt he expected things to get this bad so quickly. There's little doubt that the Syracuse Orange have struggled lately, and the loss on Saturday to Louisville 73-69 just added insult to injury. The psyche of this team is at a low point, and they haven't been able to find the answers. This latest loss made it their 6th L in their last 8 games, and yet the team doesn't seem to be responding to Boeheim's challenges in the same way that SU teams of the recent past have. These players seem too caught up in their own media hype and seem more preoccupied with their dunk or pass being a highlight on ESPN's SportsCenter. They also tend to display their emotions more visibly than past teams whether they are positive or negative and it is impacting the decision making ability often in key moments. Their opponents seem to be feeding off the general lack of enthusiasm that has seemed to plague the 'Cuse during this losing streak. There have been too many uncharacteristic mental lapses, lack of focus, and overall effort plays to list. These sudden hiccups tending to occur at the most inopportune portions of games, and unfortunately there isn't one culprit to blame. The entire team has to take the blame and learn from their mistakes so they aren't repeated. One of these reasons has to lie in the lack of experience in certain players positions in the 2-3 Zone. The biggest issue in this Zone right now lies in the middle, where they have asked Freshmen Fab Melo and Baye Moussa-Keita to replace one of the great defenders in Senior Arinze Onuaku. Fab Melo doesn't have the conditioning nor experience at this time to be effective in the middle and his lack of activity and discipline has shown. Boeheim doesn't trust Fab at this time for more than a handful of sparse minutes. I feel that the fan expectations on the big man are unfair and unrealistic. His conditioning will improve, but not until the Offseason, and he will develop into a force if he stays in College for several years. This year is definitely a development year as far Jim and his coaching staff is concerned, but the trouble also lies at the top of the Zone. Keita is a threat defensively with the ability to alter shots, but his lack of offensively skills has stalled the offense on occasions where he needs to keep a defense honest. The guards are not as active and the zone lacks the fire and intensity of last year's team. They often defend with their hands down making it easy for opponents to shoot over them and hit a high percentage of their shots.

Bloomberg's Chart of the day (hat tip: Zero Hedge) ostensibly shows a relationship between the US debt ceiling extensions and price of Gold.
Color me unconvinced.
It has a few specific problems. First is the timing: The chart is dated August 1, 2011. Since then, the US credit rating was downgraded, and Gold took a big swan dive. Up 33% YTD at the time of that chart, it finished the year up 10% — certainly respectable, but no where near the home run it was as of August.
The second issue with this chart is that we only see a small slice of history. The correlation may or may not be spurious. We don't see what took place prior — the pre 1997 era. Prior to this period, there was little correlation between the two. That sort of selective use of a time segment leads to questionable conclusions based upon that one time frame.
I bring this up today because last week, President Obama formally requested the raising of the debt ceiling (again). This is a different debt ceiling structure than the August debacle. Congress now has 15 days from that date to pass a resolution disapproving of this request before the limit is lifted.
David Semmens of Standard Chartered Bank gives us the details why that is unlikely to occur:
"It is important to note that a bill would have to be passed to stop the raising of the debt ceiling this time around – a far more straight forward mechanism that was built into the Budget Control Act of 2011 to ensure a relatively trouble free procedure.
The first hurdle will come in the House of Representatives which returns today (Tuesday 17th Jan) and is expected to vote on Wednesday (18th Jan), with the Republican controlled legislative branch expected to pass a bill of objection which will be sent to the Senate. The Democratic majority Senate resumes after finishing its holiday break next Monday (23rd Jan) and is expected to reject any move to block the extension, shortly after that. While we would expect that there will be some political posturing surrounding the vote with the House Republicans passing a bill to reject the extension, this would almost certainly be blocked in the Democrat controlled Senate and failing that receive a presidential veto. If the second reading of the bill were to follow a presidential veto, a two thirds majority would be required in both houses to override the presidential veto. A $1.2trn extension will see the debt ceiling raised to 16.394trn and given current projections see the US through until early 2013 before this issue is revisited.
There are plenty of good reasons to own Gold. I remain unconvinced that the debt ceiling is one of them . . .

Another Trailer For Red Riding HoodGoon
I have to admit this movie is looking much better than I thought it would. If I were to just base this movie on the trailer below I would say we are looking at something along the lines of Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow. It has that same kind of odd atmosphere that takes place in that little town. Check out the trailer below.

- The girl stripped her clothes off down to her underwear in front of a row lockers on the school's second floor
- Male students crowded around to take pictures and upload online
- Fellow students' reactions to the stunt were mixed
- It is not clear if the students involved will face any disciplinary
By Ryan Gorman Daily Mail PUBLISHED: 11 October 2013
Students at a Las Vegas high school are in trouble after pictures of a female student stripped down to her underwear in front of a row of lockers was passed around Twitter earlier this week.
Holding clothes to her face, the girl is seen in just her bra and panties as male students circle around her taking pictures. Uploaded to Twitter Tuesday, the shots soon became the talk of the school.
Early indications that the girl was a special education student were quickly shot down by students speaking to local media.
Aside from a prepared statement, school officials haven't said much about the incident, and there are no indications how they are handling the students involved.
'Everybody was talking about it. We saw it and said, 'What's this?' Durango student Amber Kjan asked Fox 5.
Opinions about the photo were generally negative, at least on camera.
'I think it's embarrassing for the girl and her whole family, because she has a picture of her online, stripped and almost bare naked,' Student Nate Lopez told Fox 5.
The impromptu photo shoot took place Tuesday in an upstairs hallway, students told the station. The picture takers haven't been publicly named.
As to the notion the girl was a special needs student, her fellow classmates put that to bed rather handily – one even blamed her for encouraging the students to take the photos.
'She is not mentally challenged at all,' another student said. 'She is a perfectly normal girl who decided to make a bad decision.'
At first, everyone is making it seem like she is 'special ed,' but she is really not,' Ms Kjan told Fox 5. 'Then, they said that the guys made her do it on purpose, but I feel it's her fault.'
Another student told the station she saw it as bullying.
'I think it's really wrong,' said Brooke Behnen. 'It's bullying and I have a big problem with bullying because I've been through it myself and I know what it feels like.'
Michele Behnen, Brooke Behnen's mother, voiced her displeasure with students, and social media as a whole, to Fox 5.
'It breaks my heart that kids do this to other kids,' Michele Behnen said. 'I hate the whole social media outlet. I'm totally against it and it's shameful.'
The only public remarks made by the school district came via a prepared statement.
'Please be advised that the Durango administration is actively investigating a social media issue involving several of our students. Safety and protection of our students is our highest priority and this matter has our full attention. Kindly remind your child that cyber bullying and harassment are serious issues that will not be tolerated.'
Though all students involved, including the female, were seen by students in the principal's office Wednesday, it is not clear if any disciplinary action has been taken.
A Clark County School District spokesperson told MailOnline that 'an investigation is ongoing' and punishments will be administered if a violation of rules has been discovered. When further pressed, the spokesperson deferred to the above statement.

Cops to wear Niners gear in Seattle
(Renton, WA) — The Seattle Seahawks will take extra precaution for Sunday's contest against the rival San Francisco 49ers. The team will have undercover law enforcement officers dress as Niner fans to detect unwanted and inconsiderate behavior toward others. Seattle president Peter McLoughlin says the goal is to make sure the game atmosphere is safe for all the fans in attendance. The Seahawks welcome the 49ers to CenturyLink Field for the prime time game on NBC.

Inspiring before and after bachelor pad
A bachelor's apartment needs to be simple and comfortable. It doesn't need unnecessary details or decorations and it also doesn't need to be extra cozy. We have here a project that will help you visualize better these facts. This is a living room that got a makeover. It includes sleek and slim elements that make the room inviting but also imposing. The old TV stand suddenly didn't seem like a very good idea for this room. Instead, the TV was mounted on the wall and this required drilling big holes in the wall. This way all the cables were hidden and the room was clean and clear.
The living room also got stylish IKEA cabinets. They have a wall panel system that minimized the number of holes required in the walls. The whole renovation process took three and a half weeks. The result was surprising and rewarding. The project required extra planning. Every little detail needed to be carefully considered and all the pieces had their own place.
The living room got a practical shelving system on the wall and all the electronics have their own place while also allowing room for future expansion components. Surround sound speakers were also mounted to the panels. The room has plenty or storage space in the cabinets and on the shelves. This ensures a clean and airy look.{found on apartmenttherapy}.

Superb. Amazing location. Very helpful. Excellent breakfast.(Helpful with gluten free diet).Room small but functional. Very good shower. Help our faltering French.

The staff were fantastic, yes the rooms and the lift were a little on the small side, but the hospitality was big. Rooms were clean and well appointed and the location of the hotel is perfect.

Have to say that this hotel is very central and well run. Rooms are very small but thankfully soundproof. You are in the thick of the action here.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Albe Saint Michel Paris
Great location would recommend
Just stayed here. Location is excellent, right next to the Place Saint-Michel and within walking distance of everywhere in central paris. Rooms were new enough and service was what you would expect for the price. Would definitely stay here again and recommend this to other.
Great location, nice hotel
Our family of 3 stayed at Hotel D'Albe in August, 2004. Our experience was similar to that of other reviewers. It's a great small hotel in a terrific location. Especially for a first trip to Paris, it puts you in the middle of things on the boundary between the Latin Quarter & St. Germain and a stone's throw from the Seine. Located on the corner of two pedestrian streets chock-a-block with cafes, restaurants, and gyro stands (!), there are no traffic noises but a healthy "buzz" of people from the street below that sometimes filters gently through the otherwise well-soundproofed windows. Rooms are small (think "cruise ship cabin") but have everything you need (including an in-room safe). Air conditioning worked like a dream (modern, quiet split-system units with accurate temperature control). Sparkling, contemporary bathroom. Immaculately clean rooms and public areas; crisp sheets. Double bed was actually two single beds pushed together, each made up separately. Breakfast buffet for EUR 11 included boiled egg, cheese, cold cuts, and a nice pot of coffee (with refills available) as well as the more typical Parisian croissant and baguette offerings. The English-speaking reception staff was very helpful with restaurant recommendations and reservations.
Excellent Left Bank location
Location, location, location! This must be the most convenient small hotel in Paris. The RER train from Charles de Gaulle airport stops less than 100 yards away. We stayed there in July 2004. The hotel is in the middle of a lively area with lots of cafes with tables on the street. Our room was at the front, but we were not affected by outside noise. The inside walls are not quite soundproof and we did hear our neighbours' TV and shower, but not enough to be annoyed by it. The room was not very big, but the bathroom was excellent.
The staff were friendly and helpful - offering to lend us an umbrella to save us having to go back up to our room for one. One receptionist spent 20 minutes on the internet trying to find out for us where was the best place to see the Bastille Day parade. We will definitely stay here again.
Be careful booking through venere.com
I booked this hotel for May 9, 2004 through the venere website. I cancelled through the website on April 23, 2004, long before the deadline for cancellation without penalty according to the website. However, the hotel billed my credit card on May 21, 2004. They claim they never received the cancellation from venere, although I have confirmation of the valid cancellation. The hotel says that venere has to reimburse me, and venere has not replied to my emails. I had a great stay at Hotel Cluny Square which I booked through Hotelclub, but I will never use venere again. I am still waiting for a response to my complaint.
Will stay here again.
Stayed Feb 2004. Asked for superior rooms - small (as usual in city hotels) but nicely fitted out and immaculately clean. Friendly staff, great position for central sights and very near St Michel metro. Good choice of cafes, bars and restaurants all round. Ideal hotel for visiting Paris - simple, comfortable, friendly, convenient and well-kept. Still some rooms being refurbished, but no disturbance to us at all.
A great value in a three star hotel
I have stayed in this area of the Latin Quarter several times and the last time in July of 2003 was at the Hotel D Albe St Michel. It is a three star hotel in an excellent location - only about 50 meters from the St Michel Metro Station. The entrance is non-descript sitting between two restaurants almost hard to see at first glance. The hotel is within three minutes walk to the ILE DE LA CITE where the famous Notre Dame and the Saint Chapelle are found. Nearby are a few well known places and building such as the Patheon, Musee Cluny, La Sorbonne and the Jardin du Luxembourg. The Louvre and the Orsay are an easy ten minute walk. You can easily reach the rest of Paris through the metro station located steps from the hotel. The hotel has a great English speaking staff. The rooms are small but not terribly small by European standards. They all have electronic room safes. The rooms are clean, the beds fairly firm and linens were new at the time. The bath and showers are modern and more than adequate. Water pressure is good with plenty of hot water. The rooms have local television with a couple of English channels. Now this area of the Latin Quarter is like a carnival with all of the shops, bistros, and strollers; however, the rooms all have double windows with a spacing of about eighteen inches between windows and I found the rooms incredibly quite consideering the location I am puzzeled by the posts reporting street noise. The hotel offers a morning breakfast but I would recommend eating in one of the many cafe's nearby - a much better value. This hotel has air conditioning and in the summer time it is a wise choice to have in a hotel in Europe. Since I have stayed several times around the corner at the Hotel St Michel which is now a four star hotel - The Hotel D Albe St Michel is a much better value.
Great Location
I stayed at this hotel on my first trip to Paris during New Year's. I was a little skeptical since I could barely find any reviews on the hotel. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find a hotel that was centrally located, clean rooms with modern bathrooms, and a English speaking staff. Lena and Renaud were especially helpful to me prior to the trip. They responded quickly to all my e-mails and were always courteous and accommodating. They even allowed me to change rooms and move to a higher floor during my stay, due to the noise from the street. I found the Latin Quarter to be a very safe location with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Also, there is a great 24 hour internet cafe down the street from the hotel which is very convenient.
The Hotel D' Albe is a very reasonable hotel for this area and I would recommend it to anyone. Just note that the rooms are small, but I was prepared for that since it's the European standard. My main concern was cleanliness and the Hotel D' Albe delivered.
Nice, Small, Under Renovations
I stayed at the D'Albe Hotel October 2003 for 3 nights. I was extremely dissapointed when I walked into the lobby to see it all torn apart.
Unfortunately, they were under heavy renovations. No dining area, no bar, barely a nice lobby to sit in. The heavy fumes in the hallway were difficult sometimes. Now the good stuff. GREAT staff! Alexandra was especially helpful. All shifts of personnel were helpful to me and my mom. We had a VERY small room which had already undergone renovations.
(I've stayed in Paris 5 times now and this was the smallest yet) It was done in very good taste. I've never had better linens on a hotel bed.
Better than my own at home. And it had a down comforter! They change the duvets daily. The bathrooms were immaculate and brand new everything. The location is great. I just wish I had know about the renovations. This will be a nice place once that's finished.
Centric place.
We stayed of at this hotel from Oct.3-8, 2003. The best thing about this hotel is its location. In the immediate and nearby streets you can find at least 50 cafes, brasseries, rest. to choose from. It is a block away from a metro station and within walking distance to almost anyplace-Ile de la Cite, Louvre, D'Orsay... You pay for the location of the hotel. The room was very spacious- we had requested a center-corner room at an upper level with a private bathroom and received it as requested. Higher floors are recommended due to the street noises. The room and bathroom were very clean and nicely decorated, as well as the hotel. My wallet was stolen at the metro St. Michel as soon as I got into Paris- so watch out for pick pockets (particularly well groomed children). I reached the hotel in search of orientation and help and felt that the personnel was not sympathetic at all with my situation. It was really frustrating and quite a cold reception that I received in Paris. It continued that way all along. Service could have been more tourist-oriented and plain nice to the people that stay there.

A tremendous design and superbly engineered Salt Fly Reel from Wychwood. The Salt reel features Wychwood's new award-winning super large arbour design and barstock lightweight aluminium construction, in essence creating one of the lightest saltwater-proof cassette fly reels today! Not only is the reel striking to look at, it also has some serious stuff going on under the hood!
Neptune Torque System, or NTS, is Wychwood's most powerful drag system to date - we've seen how it copes when a car puts it through it's paces (yes you heard correctly, a car! Please don't try this at home ). NTS provides a breaking capacity that can halt even the most explosive of big saltwater fish runs, while also reducing pulled hooks on initial runs via super smooth start-up inertia.
At the saltwater-proof core of the Truefly, there is carbon disc quadrivium. These are four discs of high quality formula one grade carbon fibre sealed within a fully waterproof, TII anodised aluminium casing - So what chance have the fish got? Additionally the reel has been tested extensively by saltwater anglers to give you a reel that you can rely on.
"Yes but it's white," I hear you say. Ah but here is the cool bit, literally. The white finish repels extreme sunlight, therefore maintains a much cooler external temperature than all of the Salt's competitors - see, told you so. This is especially important when fishing in hot climes. Anyway, you're out there to fish, not cook.

Kilmarnock 1 - 1 St Mirren
Kris Boyd's first goal since returning to Kilmarnock secured a point for the Ayrshire side against St Mirren.
Killie were looking for a win to all but seal a place in the Scottish Premier League's top six but fell behind to an Esmael Goncalves strike.
Boyd, who rejoined his first club in February, fired the hosts level two minutes into the second half.
St Mirren winger Gary Teale and Boyd had opportunities to claim a winner but neither could convert.
Kenny Shiels' side, who are sixth, move a point clear of Aberdeen and Dundee United with one more round of fixtures to come this weekend before the SPL splits in two.
James Fowler, who scored Kilmarnock's winner against Ross County on Saturday, sought to add to his season's tally early on when he ran on to Boyd's quickly taken free-kick but did not seriously trouble Craig Samson.
St Mirren were also prominent in the opening stages and Goncalves managed to get a header on John McGinn's cross only for Cammy Bell to make a comfortable save.
The pace of Goncalves was causing Killie problems and the Portuguese striker dragged a shot wide as the half-hour mark approached.
But the on-loan Rio Ave striker did find the net when he latched on to David van Zanten's pass and fired past Bell from inside the area.
And Steven Thompson was presented with a chance to put the Buddies further ahead moments later but flashed his shot wide from a promising position.
The visitors continued to dominate and Bell scrambled the ball out following another Goncalves strike.
Kilmarnock knew they had to improve and were given the best possible start to the second half when Borja Perez found Boyd in behind the St Mirren defence and the SPL's all-time top scorer drilled the ball into the net.
The former Rangers striker was becoming a persistent threat to the visiting defence and might have done better with a header that Samson gathered at the second attempt.
At the other end, Teale slipped a shot wide following good work by Thompson.
Garry Hay was next to threaten a winner but his powerful long-range drive was held by Samson and an injury-time free-kick by Boyd was also claimed by the keeper.

Mr President,
On behalf of Canada, Australia and my own country, New Zealand, I thank the President of the International Court of Justice, Judge Owada, for his helpful report of the work of the Court over the past year; and also thank him and Vice-President Judge Tomka for their leadership of the Court over that period.
CANZ congratulates Judges Xue and Donoghue on their recent election to the Court. We acknowledge the judicial service of their predecessors, Judges Shi and Buergenthal (both of whom resigned during the last year), and thank them for their valuable work during their terms of office.
Mr President,
CANZ takes this opportunity to reiterate its strong support for the work of the Court as the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. One of the primary goals of the United Nations, as stated in the Preamble to the UN Charter, is to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations of international law can be maintained. The International Court of Justice, as the only international court with general international law jurisdiction, is uniquely placed to further this goal. It plays an essential role in the peaceful resolution of disputes between States.
As the Court's report records, disputes have been submitted to it by a variety of States from many regions. This diversity, together with the wide-ranging, significant and complex subject matter under deliberation and pending before the Court over the last year, bears testament to the importance that Member States attribute to the role of the Court in resolving international disputes.
The Court's second function of providing advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by organs of the United Nations and specialised agencies continues to fulfil the important role of clarifying key international law issues.
CANZ encourages Member States who have not yet done so to declare their acceptance of the Court's compulsory jurisdiction; its report records that fewer than half the State Parties to the Statute of the Court have declared their acceptance of that jurisdiction. As more States accept the Court's jurisdiction, it will have more time to consider the substance of cases, rather than objections to its jurisdiction.
CANZ recognises that, every year, the Court handles a significant and complex range of the cases and advisory opinions; and that it has successfully cleared a case backlog. We acknowledge and appreciate the Court's efforts to enhance its efficiency, which will enable it to sustain an increasing workload and to manage, simultaneously, a demanding schedule of cases. CANZ is pleased that additional staff positions have been made available to the Court and that the upgrade of technical equipment at the Peace Palace will be realised. We hope this will improve the Court's working environment and ease the processing of its heavy case load.CANZ values the contribution of the International Court of Justice in promoting the Rule of Law and the peaceful resolution of international disputes, thus fulfilling that critical Charter objective of establishing conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations of international law can be maintained.

Ann Horner Granados passed away on July 5th. It was a great loss not only to my uncle Lou and her children - but to the Granados clan, at least those of us who were fortunate enough to get to know her well.
Dan and I are so sad. Our hearts are heavy to think we'll never again see her smile, feel her enthusiasm or hear her positive voice. She was such a presence.
It always amazed me that though I was but one of 30+ off-spring in the Luis Granados (Sr.) chain, Ann treated me as if I was the only one.
She was always so kind to me, so interested in what I was doing, what I was thinking, how my kids were getting on, what was new in our lives. Ann and my Uncle Lou made every effort to be at all major family occasions, even when getting around and traveling long distances became more difficult as they both experienced health challenges. You could always count on them for support and encouragement- and to be present at important events.
Seven years ago Dan and I moved from Laurel, Maryland where the population was high (87,000) and jobs were plentiful, to Somerset County on the rural Eastern Shore where the population (26,000) was one third the size of Laurel. Jobs were scarce.
Within a few months I got a job working for a small town in Worcester County - the same county Lou and Ann lived in. I did well there, getting my first experience working with local government and economic development.
But one year later I was fired from that job. It was sudden, unexpected, and devastating. I had never left a job where people weren't sorry to see me go. Dan's hours had been cut back due to a slump in the building industry, and we had a daughter in college. Ann rushed to my rescue. She invited me to lunch at the Atlantic Hotel in Berlin and I briefed her on what happened.
She went to work, using any influence she had to help me get a job with the State of Maryland. Within a few months I was hired by the Department of Business and Economic Development after going through a series of rigorous interviews.
I'm not ashamed to have been a political appointee, hired perhaps because I knew someone influential ... that's part of our political process. The cause for shame would have come if I didn't do a good job or take the responsibility seriously; if I merely took a free ride and wasted the tax payers money.
As it turned out, I loved the new state job, and was able to be very productive. Working for this Agency I was performing duties similar to those in the small town job - but covering several counties on the Eastern Shore. I thrived in the position and am still at it finding it one of the most challenging and rewarding jobs I've ever had. I have the opportunity to help hundreds of businesses, develop great relationships with people (some who have become lifelong friends), and show the humble few I serve that government really can do good things. I am privileged to be walking proof that Maryland does care about business and economic development, enough to put a human resource in the far reaches of the state to offer on-the-ground assistance to businesses and local communities.
I owe all of that joy and job satisfaction to Ann Granados.
The last time I saw Ann was at my mother's funeral just over a year ago. Even at times when people didn't know what to say, Ann found something comforting and appropriate. She was one of the most loving, energetic people I've ever known.
What a great loss this is for everyone in her world.
My faith tells me Ann is in a better place, enjoying the company of her loved ones that went before her. It also tells me she's preparing a place for all of us who will eventually follow her.
But my selfish nature wishes she was still here for another family reunion, wedding, christening, summer crab feast, Christmas party or chat about the latest craziness in the world or new development in the family.
Her absence will be hard to get used to. But I'm comforted by my memories of her and thankful I was able to get to know her and share my life with her ... Rest in peace, Ann.

Clay Pot Snowmen
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Don't put those clay pots away yet! Even when the spring is coming to a close, you can use those planters to create these adorable Clay Pot Snowmen! This project from Amanda Formaro is easy and perfect to have on display indoors and out.
- 2" clay pots
- Gesso or white paint
- Ivory or white fabric
- Mod Podge Antique matte
- Colored patterned fabric
- Fine point black Sharpie
- Paint: pink, black, orange
- Rusted wire
- Round nose pliers
Paint clay pots with Gesso or white paint.
Trace bottom of clay pot on the ivory fabric. Cut out the circle and fold in half then in half again. Cut the tip off to create a hole in the middle of the circle. Decoupage this circle to the bottom of the pot.
Decoupage ivory fabric onto the sides of the clay pot.
Decoupage patterned fabric onto the rim of the pot.
Apply a coat of decoupage over the entire pot and rim and let dry completely.
Use scruffy brush dipped in pink paint, excess paint dabbed off on a paper towel, to add cheeks.
Use the handle end of the brush dipped in black paint to add eyes. Use a Sharpie to draw on mouths. Add nose with orange paint. Let the paint dry completely then add another layer of decoupage.
Make ornament hangers from rusty wire by bending a length of wire in half and creating a loop. Then twist the wire below the loop together. Insert the twisted end into the hole in the bottom of the pot. Squeeze the loop together so that you can push the loop almost all the way through the hole. This will give you enough room to coil the twisted end of the wire around your round nose pliers to keep the hanger from coming back through the hole. Push the loop back up through the hole and widen the loop again.

The Department of Pharmacy at Kern Medical Center offers a full range of pharmacotherapy services through the inpatient pharmacy,
two outpatient pharmacies, home infusion pharmacy and clinical pharmacy services. The goal of the Department of Pharmacy is first
and foremost to provide our patients excellent care through pharmacotherapy. It is the desire to accomplish this primary goal that drives our department.
Kern Medical Center Main Campus
1830 Flower Street
Bakersfield, CA 93305
We currently have 5 residency trained and 2 Board Certified clinical pharmacists who are dedicated to provide clinical services for critical care,
medicine-surgical, oncology, psychiatry, ambulatory care clinics, and maternal/child areas. In the area of ambulatory care, our clinical pharmacists
have full prescribing privileges under physician driven protocols in the areas of Hypertension, Diabetes, Anticoagulation, Smoking Cessation,
Psychiatry and Pharmacotherapy. In addition to our clinical pharmacists we have 8 staff pharmacists who are the backbone of our department and ensure
that each patient receives appropriate pharmacotherapy in a timely manner. We see over 5000 patients in our ambulatory care clinics, process 1
million inpatient orders and dispense 200,000 outpatient prescriptions per year.
In line with our goal of providing excellent care through pharmacotherapy a PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency program was started on July of 2005.
Every year we graduate 2 pharmacy residents who are equipped with the knowledge and experience needed to serve patients and move the profession forward by being leaders in the field.
As we graduate and hire more and more residency trained pharmacists, the face and focus of our department continues to change.
As a result, we are in the process of decentralizing our department and placing our residency trained staff pharmacists on the
floors where they can be more available to answer clinical consults and provide direct patient care.
We currently have fully operable decentralized stations in Pediatrics, ICU/DOU and 2 on the General Medicine floors.
What allows us to decentralize our department and place pharmacists on the floors is our capable and driven pharmacists and our level of technology.
Every order is scanned and all patient information, including labs, radiography and patient charts, are all available via computer from anywhere in the hospital.

Eagles get No. 4 seed in KingCo playoffs
November 4, 2008
By Christopher Huber
The Issaquah High School Eagles' offensive efforts had anything but the desired effect Oct. 31 against Woodinville.
Despite the thick fog that settled over the field before the game, Woodinville held Issaquah, now 7-2, to just 81 total yards in a 21-0 win at Issaquah Stadium.
As the sparse crowd gathered for the Halloween night battle for the third KingCo 4A playoff seed, the announcer recognized all the seniors playing their last regular season home game.
Both teams were 7-1 and hungry for the spot behind Skyline and Bothell.
"It's huge," said Woodinville coach Wayne Maxwell. "We knew they're a good, physical team but … you've got to match them."
Issaquah had to make do without lineman Kevin Degginger and wide receiver Brennan Miller due to injuries. Woodinville had struggled with its passing game recently.
"It was an old-fashioned butt-whoopin'," Issaquah coach Chris Bennett said after the game. "We didn't respond. There's a lot of things we need to do if we want to be better for the playoffs."
Both teams knew they were headed to the playoffs, but Woodinville took the opportunity to show the seventh-ranked Eagles they could control the clock, force errors with tight defense and tire its defense.
"They beat us up front all game," Bennett said. "We couldn't tackle them."
The game started out slowly and sloppily. On each of their first drives, quarterbacks Tim Ip and Joey Bradley threw interceptions.
The Issaquah defense came out hard, pressuring Ip and deflecting any pass he threw. The first quarter was a defensive game, with both teams struggling to get anything going offensively.
No one scored in the first. But Woodinville was driving from midfield to begin the second. Woodinville immediately broke loose when Matt Brumfield dashed to the Issaquah 4-yard line. That set up the touchdown and gave the Falcons the 7-0 lead.
Issaquah began its next possession from its own 38 and showed some energy when running back Grant Gellatly broke out for a 33-yard run into Woodinville territory.
Issaquah went four plays with no success and gave it up on downs after the Falcon defense sacked Bradley on fourth-and-5.
"We came out flat," Gellatly said. "We didn't really focus and it showed. We couldn't find any rhythm and we just broke down as a unit."
The Eagle defense held its own against the pass game, but struggled to contain the constant bombardment up the left side and the center by running backs Brumfield and Jordan Todesco.
With nothing working on offense, Issaquah relied on its defense to quell the Falcons. It worked for a while — Issaquah trailed just 7-0 at halftime — but Woodinville had gained nearly 190 yards offense to the Eagles' 53.
Even though Woodinville didn't get any big plays, it ate away at the clock all game, especially in the second half.
After Issaquah punted on its first possession in the third, the Falcons took most of the third to drive 71 yards for the second touchdown of the game.
The Issaquah crowd became more subdued with its team down 14-0, but the student section kept the spirit alive.
The final score for Woodinville came just 40 seconds into the fourth quarter. On first-and-15, Todesco churned up the middle 43 yards, untouched, into the end zone.
In the end, Woodinville racked up 388 yards in total offense and sent Issaquah into the locker room wondering how it will tweak its game plan for the first round of the playoffs this week.
"They took us to the woodshed and let us have it," Bennett said.
