What to do when at the top of the Eiffel Tower
If I get lift tickets to the summit at the Eiffel Tower at 5:00pm, what is there to do until sunset which is at 7:30pm. Are there cafes or gift shops?
If I get lift tickets to the summit at the Eiffel Tower at 5:00pm, what is there to do until sunset which is at 7:30pm. Are there cafes or gift shops?
Mostly be completely bored. A half-hour at the top is an over-kill.
Isn't there anything to do up there? Any cafes or places where we can sit and have a drink? If we have lift tickets to the top can't we get off at another floor and then go to the top at sunset?
It's grim. There's crappy shops on the ground floor and a crappy eatery on the first level. The second level restaurant is pretty steep and will require reservations. It comes and goes, but there's sometimes a broom-closet on the top level that sells drinks at an ungodly price.
You could look at your watch. After a while you could look at it again. You could look out at the view. And look out at the other sides, making your way around. Then look at your watch.
Whoa there, all you negative nellys,, lol Fran, first off they are correct in one thing, the summit is not worth more then 1/2 hour.. its a very small area with only a tacky concession stand that sells champagne by the plastic glassful( for 10 euros !) . BUT,, your ticket actually takes you first to the second level, you have to get off at second level and reboard a different elevator to go to the top( its not all one line) , now, what most people do is get off and wander around. I still think 2.5 hours is pushing it, but I can see someone spending an hour or hour an half on wandering about, getting a snack, looking in the gift shops, and perhaps actually bothering to read the many informative plaques around ( pretty sure many tourists don't even see them, lol ) . Could person stretch their visit to 2.5 hours, yes possibly , but frankly I would be ready to go after an hour or hour and half. There are several restaurant choices, but for dinner they are pricey.. there is however a snack bar.
I think I'll get skip the line lift tickets for 8:00pm and then only spend an hour or so. Thanks so much for all your feedback. I really wanted to see the sunset, but someone I know mentioned that if it is cloudy, you won't see the sunset anyway. I really did want to go at night so I think 8:00pm will work for me. What does everyone think? Never been, but wanted to make the most of the experience and really appreciate all the feedback from those of you who have been there.
Sunset is sunset. You can see one anywhere. The city is to the east of the tower, the sun sets in the west. I take/send people up at night due to shorter lines and the view of the city lights. Nobody's ever complained.
IMHO, these are the two best Eiffel Tower experiences: sit on the steps in front of the Trocadero, admire the view of ET across the Seine and watch the action in front of the Trocadero. Last time we did this, we saw a French "stag party." All the men in tuxedos, except the bridegroom in a very skimpy toga with a wreath on his head.....Second experience, about an hour before it's dark, take a picnic to the Champs-Mars on the other side of the ET...Enjoy picnic surrounded by hundreds of other picnickers, then watch the sparkles illuminating the ET....And both these are freebies!
What Cynthia said. I would go up the tower for a brief period just to see it from the inside because the construction really is amazing. Then make a beeline for Trocadero to watch the twinkling light show. I also like the beacon. Then enjoy the ambiance of the Champs du Mar. The only thing that annoys me a bit about the latter is the many teenagers hawking their silly souvenir trinkets. But I try to remind myself that at least they're attempting to work for the money they earn.
I've done both things that Cynthia described on different trips and both were great. I've never done the ET at dusk/night.
While most people turn toward the sun, look to the east, away from the sunset, for the best view. I was there with friends under clear skies in June a few years ago and staked out a spot near the northeast corner at the top level. I am used to sunset scenes in which buildings turn golden or bright white, depending on the stone, and seem to float in the reflected light. But I had never seen an entire city do that before. But, then, I have never seen another city with so many white marble and granite buildings. I could kick myself because I had left my camera in the room, thinking we were going back there after grabbing a bite to eat. Wrong move, but there will be other chances. A couple of years later, I returned in March with my wife. We had a good time on the second level, but the sky was overcast, so the view was more along the lines of what Ed would describe as just another sunset.
May I humbly suggest the Tour Montparnasse as an native sunset and/or nighttime viewpoint? Not as high as the ET, nor as close to the river, or, God knows, as beautiful. But easier to get to the top, less crowded, potential to see the view protected from the weather if necessary. And, of course, you can see the ET lit up. If you buy ET tickets far ahead, you risk bad weather on the day or evening you go. The Tour isn't in nearly as much demand and you can go up most anytime it's open, so you can pick the weather or time of day you want. Of course you can't tell you friends you were at the top of the ET, and you miss being up amid the curves and girders that make the ET the icon it is. (Tour M is just an office building.) But you'll still get a great view of the city for a lot less trouble. Just sayin'.
In addition to the Trocadero (free), I also loved the view of the Eiffel Tower from the top of the Arc de Triomphe (included in the Museum Pass). On my last trip, I went to the Trocadero on two nights, and the top of the Arc once by day and once by night. I didn't regret any of these four trips.
You didn't mention what time of year that you were going to be visiting Paris but during the summer months sunset isn't until 9:00 or even later. For example, today 6/26/13 sunset is 9:58 PM. I personally enjoyed watching sunset from the steps in front of the Sacre Coeur in Montmarte.
The original post said sunset was at 7:30, so Fran must know what's going on.
That's right, everybody! I will be in Paris late September the sunset is 7:45 which means the sun is down. I thought if I could get there at least by 7:30pm, I could see the transition. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a sunset tour, so I opted to buy Skip the Line Tickets online for 8:00pm. At least I get to see at night.
Fran, Enjoy your trip....Paris is such a truly lovely place. In addition to your plans for the Eiffel, if you have another night free (or even after you finish visiting the Eiffel), taking one of the city river cruises (open air on top with lots of seating), its a wonderful way to see the Eiffel and the city in general at night, which looks beautiful, too, in the evening. It's also interesting to see all the young people grouping along the river banks well into the evening. It was magical seeing the Eiffel all aglow from the river, and also passing the smaller version of the Statue of Liberty. Some young men on board from Spain held up an American flag right as we passed the Statue of Liberty and sang God Bless America (they were with a large group of touring young people,
seemingly from many countries, including America). Have fun and let us know how you enjoy the evening at the Eiffel.
Or, as happened this past Tuesday, you can get there and be greeted by an electronic sign that says " Eiffel Tower closed due to social dispute." We have been up several times before, but for those who had not, it was a disappointing sign.
Rarely has a well thought out plan for a "special moment" ever panned out as expected in my experience. Special moments tend to happen at unexpected times and usually not somewhere crowded with fellow tourists. It is smart to plan ahead to avoid waiting in lines and nice to be able to say you did something memorable on your to-do list but sometimes we tend to overthink things. The best view of the ET is not from the ET.

In the week since the Supreme Court ruling, Republicans have criticized Obama by pointing to the tax and accusing him of raising taxes. Democrats, meanwhile, have been eager to accuse Romney of also raising taxes in Massachusetts. They cite a 2009 opinion piece in which Romney wrote that Massachusetts "established incentives for those who were uninsured to buy insurance." In the piece, he acknowledged that the requirement amounted to a tax: "Using tax penalties, as we did … encourages 'free riders' to take responsibility for themselves."
Romney's comments to CBS came in an interview conducted in Wolfeboro before he marched in the town's Fourth of July parade, holding hands with his wife, Ann. He also was joined by New Hampshire Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte, a possible candidate for a running mate.
"I see you waterskiing!" one parade-watcher told Romney as he crossed from one side of Main Street to the other, shaking hands with well-wishers. "Oh, I do it from time to time," Romney replied, smiling. At the end of the parade, he spoke to a crowd waiting at Brewster Academy.
Romney is spending this week on vacation at his lakeside estate. His participation in the parade through the center of town was his only official public appearance during a weeklong family break from campaigning.
Yet, it was not the first time that Romney has been seen around Wolfeboro since he arrived last weekend. His entire family – now numbering 30 in all – has gathered at Romney's home on Lake Winnipesaukee for the annual family vacation. And even though the family patriarch is now the presumed Republican candidate for president, many of their normal routines haven't changed. They've attended church, bought ice cream in town and taken the boat out on the lake.
Still, the vacation hasn't been all fun and games for the likely Republican presidential nominee. Romney huddled Tuesday with top advisers, including his campaign manager and the aide overseeing his vice presidential search. His top strategist was in town shooting video for new TV ads.
Officially, the week by the lake gives Romney some time to focus on his family and relax before the campaign push to the GOP convention in August. But unofficially, the down time also is a chance for the contemplative Romney to consider how the campaign is going and to adjust strategy as necessary in a contest that polls show is close.
Underscoring the stakes, Obama canceled his annual summer vacation on Martha's Vineyard, Mass. He spent a long holiday weekend at the Camp David presidential retreat and returned to Washington on Wednesday for the Fourth of July.
Behind the scenes in Wolfeboro, Romney is all but certain to be at work just as much as he is at play – and probably focused on the biggest decision he will make between now and when he accepts the GOP's presidential nomination at the convention. His self-imposed deadline for picking a running mate "before the convention" is looming large and the search for a No. 2 is well under way.
His campaign has stayed mum on whether that was a topic of conversation Tuesday when he and his wife spent at least 45 minutes talking with campaign manager Matt Rhoades, senior adviser Beth Myers and top strategist Stuart Stevens on the deck that overlooks the lawn behind his home. Romney's five sons – particularly his eldest son, Tagg – also serve as informal political advisers, and all have been on hand this week, virtually ensuring that the campaign and the running mate search were discussed.
Romney's vacation ends Sunday when he's scheduled to head to New York for fundraising events — and to resume his campaign schedule fulltime.

Sights of the season -- post, Wiregrass events spread holiday cheer
December 10, 2009
Christmas tree lightings, festive carols and snowball fights were just a few sights, sounds and events community members recently enjoyed at Fort Rucker and surrounding communities to ring in the holiday season. Soldiers spread glad tidings during the Commanding General's Holiday Concert, performed by three dozen 98th Army Band members Tuesday night at the Post Theater. The musicians treated attendees to Christmas and Hanukkah carols to celebrate the holidays and the military spirit, said band leaders. "This show is telling the Soldier's story - that freedom isn't free," said 98th Army Band Wings Operations Branch Chief Staff Sgt. Christopher Nguyen. This year's concert was the first to incorporate visual aids and a light show, multiplying the entertainment experience, said 98th Army Band Commander WO1 George Bauer. "Our mission is to provide musical support to Soldiers and Families," he said. "It gets the holiday season started." Warrant Officer Candidate Jennifer Jackson, from Topeka, Kan., attended the show with fellow candidates and said she enjoyed the traditional and modern music provided by the band. Before the concert, others were busy elsewhere spreading Christmas cheer on the installation. Soldiers and garrison executive assistants decorated a towering Christmas tree in the headquarters building lobby Tuesday morning. Col. Christopher Carlile, Unmanned Aircraft Systems Center of Excellence director, donated the evergreen. The colonel originally purchased the tree for his home, only to discover it was too large, according to Maj. Letitia N. Williamson, secretary of the general staff. That spurred his desire to display the tree in Bldg. 101. Fort Rucker wasn't the only place to deck the halls and ring in the holidays this week, however. Saturday's Dothan Downtown Christmas welcomed thousands for food and winter fun. Old and young alike enjoyed a dusting of snow, a rarity in lower Alabama. Flight school students from northern states reminisced about their past white Christmases while monitoring the machine-generated Snow Zone, one of the Downtown Christmas activities. One of several D Company, 1st Battalion, 145th Aviation Regiment Soldiers overseeing the festivities, 1st Lt. Drew Richard, a Silver Lake, Ohio, resident, has seen his share of the white stuff, but said he enjoyed watching local youngsters revel in new experiences. For another student, 1st Lt. Greg Foley, it was the chance to serve others that made braving Saturday's wind and cool temperatures worthwhile. The Rutland, Vt., native noted he was mildly amused by the fuss surrounding a few inches of snow. "It's kind of funny to me because I grew up with this, but they look like they're having fun," Foley said. For some, Saturday's event provided their first snow encounters. Erica May, of Newville, brought her daughter, Gabrielle Simpson, 6, to share in the activities. "It's a good experience (for children here) because they never experience snow accumulation. It's a chance for family and friends to get together and play," May said.

ODFW photo Cinnamon teal frequent marshes and ponds and feed by dabbling, eating mostly plants but also mollusks and aquatic insects. ODFW photo
OPEN: COUGAR, UPLAND BIRDS (see regs), WATERFOWL
Bear season closed Nov. 30
Successful hunters have 10 days after harvest to check in unfrozen bear skulls at an ODFW office. Call to make an appointment to ensure a biologist is present for the check in. It's also a good idea to prop the bear's mouths open with a stick for easier tissue sampling, teeth collection and tagging.
Grouse — Blue grouse can be found in the higher elevations while ruffed grouse are more common in wetter areas. Hunters should expect an average year for grouse, many birds re-nested, so there are some young birds that are still fairly small. Successful hunters are asked to place the tails and wings from harvested birds in the collection barrels
Cougar — Cougars can be found throughout Baker County but hunters should target areas with high concentrations of deer and elk. Setting up on a fresh kill or using distress calls can all be productive techniques. Hunters are required to check in the hide of any cougar taken, with skull and proof of sex attached.
Coyote — Coyote numbers are good throughout the district. Try calling in early morning and late afternoon. Remember to ask for permission before hunting on private properties.
Grouse — Based on our grouse wing collection barrels, Union County is above the five-year average.
Blue grouse can be found at higher elevations on ridgelines and canyon rims. For ruffed grouse, focus on creek bottoms and moist areas in timbered draws. Blue and ruffed grouse season continues through the end of the year.
Cougar — Cougars are common in Union County.
Focus on game rich areas with long ridgelines or saddles that cats typically travel. Setting up downwind of a deer or elk killed by a cougar can be productive. You need to be extremely patient and wear camo when calling cougars as they come in slowly
and use every bit of cover as they approach.
Using remote calls will focus the cat's attention away from your blind. Above all, do not move. Their eyesight is excellent. Nonresident hunters can include a cougar tag with others tags for $14.50. All cougars taken must be checked in within 10 days of harvest; call for an appointment before coming in.
Coyote — Coyote numbers are good throughout the district. Try calling in early morning and late afternoon. Remember to ask for permission before hunting on private properties.
Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area is open Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday and the following holidays, Veteran's Day, Columbus Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Martin Luther King Day during pheasant, quail, partridge and waterfowl seasons. Visitors are advised to carefully read posted signs and consult game bird regulations before entering the wildlife area.
Waterfowl hunting has been fair to good. Recent storms have improved water conditions and increased waterfowl numbers. Most wetlands have good water for hunting. Hunters should watch local weather reports for high winds near Ladd and Pyles canyons. This generally means good hunting conditions at Ladd Marsh.
Upland hunting has been good for pheasants and quail. Nesting conditions were good for both this year. Hunters should be advised that vegetation on the wildlife area is extremely thick and dogs are highly recommended.
New this year, a parking permit is needed for Ladd Marsh. Hunters get the permit free with their purchase of an annual hunting license. Display the permit on your car dash.
Chukar — Chukar numbers are still well below the long term average. However, coveys of birds can be found if hunters are willing to cover some ground searching.
Waterfowl — Local goose numbers are good and geese can be effectively hunted with decoys in agricultural fields. Duck numbers are increasing and are scattered with open water throughout the valley.
Coyote — Good numbers of coyotes can be found throughout Wallowa County. Calling coyotes with rabbit distress type calls has been effective for hunters. It is important to choose areas with abundant coyote sign and little human activity.
Cougar — Cougar numbers are strong throughout Wallowa County. Most lions are taken incidental to other hunting. However, calling with fawn bleat, or locating a cougar kill and waiting for a cat to return are often successful techniques.
You need to complete a hunter harvest survey for each deer, elk, pronghorn, cougar, bear and turkey tag purchased—even if you weren't successful or didn't go hunting. Report online at www.reportmyhunt.com (or at ODFW's website under Hunting) or call 1-866-947-6339. Hunters that fail to report 2012 deer and elk tags by the deadline (Jan. 31 for most hunts) will be fined $25 when they purchase a 2014 hunting license.
This penalty was put in place because after several years of "mandatory" reporting with no penalty, just 41 percent of tags were reported on time last year. The information provided is critical for setting tag numbers and seasons—information that's become more and more difficult to get through traditional phone surveys because hunters have moved, screened their calls or don't provide phone numbers.
Bear season closed Nov. 30
Successful hunters have 10 days after harvest to check in unfrozen bear skulls at an ODFW office. Call to make an appointment to ensure a biologist is present for the check in. It's also a good idea to prop the bear's mouths open with a stick for easier tissue sampling, teeth collection and tagging.
Wolves in Northeast Oregon
Wolves are protected by state law and it is unlawful to shoot them. Coyote hunters in Northeast Oregon need to take extra care to identify their target as wolves can look like coyotes, especially wolf pups in the mid-summer and fall. ODFW needs hunters' assistance to establish wolves' presence in Oregon.
Hunter orange required for youth
Don't forget: hunters age 17 and younger must wear a fluorescent orange upper garment or hat when hunting upland game birds (except turkey) and game mammals (deer, elk, bear, cougar, pronghorn, goat, sheep, Western gray squirrel) with a firearm.

I think this is very fundamental property of real numbers, as it allows us to discuss about limits. I do not know, how the limits are playing an important role to complete the following one. Please explain.

This is available in standard books. But, how to complete the proof of the cited above statment by introducing LIMITS, I don't know. Advanced thanks to MSE members, who can help me.

By Stephanie Andre
RISMEDIA, Oct. 15, 2008-Introduced to the Lowe's Program for REALTORS® some three years ago during the EXIT Realty National Convention, Richard Price was immediately taken by the added value the marketing platform presented for his current and prospective clients.
"I thought the entire marketing platform was a fabulous tool that would give my clients some value along with my information," says Price, an agent with Exit Realty Group in Sioux Falls, North Dakota. "I've had tremendous success with it thus far."
The Lowe's Program for Realtors includes free, customized direct mail pieces with 10% off coupons, 5% off discounts on gift cards-which make great closing gifts, helpful tips, e-mails and videos from HGTV, and the program's newest offering-Inside Out, which offers Realtors the ability to automatically send their entire client base a personalized, monthly e-newsletter with information on buying, selling and moving.
It's this collective grouping of tools-and their ease of use-that Price is most fond of.
"Because it's such a simple format, I send a lot of mailers (which include the 10% off coupons) and also Lowe's Creative Ideas magazine, all in a short amount of time," explains Price. "These are wonderful tools and with the support and brand recognition of Lowe's, it is extremely helpful. There are tons of great ideas my clients get out of the magazines, and the e-newsletter is a great way to keep me in front of my clients on a monthly basis.
"The monthly/bimonthly products, in particular-the Inside Out e-newsletter and Creative Ideas magazine-offer great information for buyers and sellers," adds Price. Creative Ideas, he says, is valuable because it gives people simple ideas on how to make things look great for little cost, and Inside Out offers great advice on selling, buying and moving.
In this market, Price believes that staying in front of buyers and sellers is vital to staying successful and profitable-and taking full advantage of the Lowe's program's offerings is key.
"The Lowe's Program for Realtors is a great way for agents to get their name out there-and keep it out there-and also the best way to affiliate yourself with an outstanding national player such as Lowe's," he says.
And, for Price, staying in front of those clients seems to be working. "When a marketing piece is sent, I generally hear back from the client-usually either a phone call or letter," he says. "In fact, my customers tell me that they think of me as the 'Lowe's Real Estate Agent'."

He's got some cool ideas for songs too. One of the songs that's going to be on the next Fozzy record has a really cool premise, in the subject matter sense.
I really dig Fozzy. A lot of people I feel don't get past that he is a wrestler and what not, but the band as a whole is killer and he is a great frontman!
There is really nothing bad to say about Chris at all.

The Oxymizer conserving cannula features a reservoir that fills with expired air at the initial phase of exhalation.
Updated look with softer, small cannula tubing and no ear loops
Can be used with pursed-lip breathing for improved oxygen saturations and increased conservation.
Savings of two to four times over continuous flow.
Conservation without batteries or controls.
Use with all oxygen sources.
Adequate saturations at higher flows when used in place of a nonrebreather mask.
The Oxymizer offers a huge improvement in respiratory efficiency compared to a standard nasal cannula or mask. For example, using an Oxymizer with a 0.5 liter/minute flow rate gets as much oxygen to your lungs as using a standard cannula with a 2.0 liter/minute rate -- a four-fold improvement in the endurance of your E-Ox tank!
Much more comfortable than a mask, the Oxymizer permits the wearer to speak, eat and drink normally. It offers a huge improvement in respiratory efficiency compared to a standard nasal cannula. Highly recommended -- it's what we use ourselves!

"Budapest! This is where I lived! Among spirits! Filled with spirit! Full of bodies! Coff eehouses! Intoxication! Wondrous nights falling in flares!"The film Nights in the Boulevard (1972) starts with this quotation from Kornél Esti, Dezső Kosztolányi's series of short stories; and it might as well be the motto for Kovásznai.
Kovásznai was an engaged and passionate partaker in and observer of Budapest's life. Just as his favoured, highly esteemed, and often cited writer Gyula Krúdy, he had insider knowledge of the small streets of the city centre, and he collected and recorded the secret stories of cafés and pubs. A common trait of his paintings from the 1970s is a type of subjective documentary style, arising from his gift of grasping the situations of the "here and now". "Even though we model after nature, our aim is not its photographic-naturalistic representation, but rather a realistic grasp and experiential rendering of the essence" - he writes in 1971. For him, immediate experience was always a pivotal point of departure in the creative process, as is revealed in one of his articles: "Without experiences, human life is worth nothing; neither without personal experiences nor, which is even more peculiar and superior, without social and societal experiences." Each of his paintings instantiates his full devotion to the present moment, along with a keen observation of his environment: one is able to fully intuit the atmosphere depicted in his works, almost as if the world of the 1970s' Budapest were conjured up for us through a medium, whether it is the atmosphere of a café or the feelings of people towards life while sitting on the steps of the wharf by the Danube.
In the 1970s he painted large-sized canvases "set in" a private mythology, which were totally independent of his painting films, and which he never exhibited; he also painted either in preparation for his films or created the pictures directly in front of the camera, applying thick, superimposed layers of paint. His paintings from the 1970s, just as his earlier works, embrace diverse visual domains and stylistic elements. Kovásznai never identified himself with a single painterly style. Instead, an incessantly strong presence is manifest in each of his works: an adamant attempt at depicting a particular mood, the atmosphere of a given situation. For the most part, these relate to actual existential situations, and in terms of time and space, they are explicit and conscious reverberations of the reality of the 1970's Budapest.

Looks strange but it looks pretty nice too.
Crash Bandicoot Returns was originally to be a simple mod for Crysis. But thanks to Crytek and its graphics engine, the CryEngine 3, it finally gives us the opportunity to develop a game in itself, totally free and for PC. CBR will be a sequel and not a remake of the series.
Looks strange but it looks pretty nice too.
Good concept :)

El Cajon With thoughts of giving a voice to the city's growing Iraqi immigrant population, the City Council on Tuesday night appointed Planning Commissioner Star Bales to fill its vacant seat.
El Cajon City Councilman Tony Ambrose registered the lone dissenting vote in front of a standing-room-only crowd at City Council chambers as Bales was brought onto the council in a 3-1 tally. Bales has been an El Cajon resident since 1982 after leaving Iraq, and was appointed to the Planning Commission in 2008.
"I've lived in El Cajon for 30 years and this is not at all what I imagined (when I first arrived)," said Bales, 52, married for 27 years and the mother of two grown children. "Where I come from, women don't do things like this. I hope that women from these other countries can see that each of them are very special and can make a difference."
Bales was the first of a group of 13 candidates who were interviewed in a four-hour City Council meeting Dec. 10. In Tuesday's continuation, 11 more council hopefuls took their turn in front of the council as part of the search for the person to fill the seat left vacant by Bill Wells. Three council hopefuls from an original list of 27 applicants were no-shows.
Wells was appointed mayor after Mark Lewis resigned amid accusations of racism in October; the term of the seat Wells vacated expires in November 2016.
In her interview a week ago, Bales said she was "very happy to see we have 27 candidates, which shows that El Cajon people are passionate. It's 'El Cajon de La Jolla,' because we have jewels in this box of different shapes and colors. This diversity, the different cultures together, it's so important for growth."
Bales said one of her priorities will be "to help … people get jobs in the city," but said her top concern was for safety of the citizens of El Cajon,

Green follows his debut novel, Looking for Alaska , with this comic story about Colin Singleton, who at 17, considers himself a failure. "Formerly a prodigy. Formerly full of potential. Currently full of shit," he thinks, when, on graduation day, his girlfriend breaks up with him, the 19th girl named Katherine he has dated and been dumped by. (That number includes some third- and fourth-grade encounters, one of which lasted three minutes.) Colin's best friend, Hassan, an overweight underachiever, suggests a road trip to lift Colin out of his funk. A highway sign advertising the grave of the Austro-Hungarian archduke whose assassination sparked WWI leads them to Gutshot, Tenn., and Lindsey Lee Wells, whose mother, Hollis, is the town's largest employer she owns a factory that makes tampon strings. Hollis offers the boys jobs recording oral histories of local residents, which they accept, though Colin's true preoccupation is a mathematical formula ("The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability"), which will forecast the duration of all romantic relationships and enable him to make his mark on the world. It's not much of a plot, but Green's three companionable main characters make the most of it. Colin's epiphany he can't predict the future but he can reinvent himself, maybe even date a girl not named Katherine is pretty basic, but the intelligent humor that will make many readers eager to go along with him and Hassan for the ride. Ages 14-up. (Sept.)[Page 69]. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
Gr 9 Up This novel is not as issue-oriented as Green's Looking for Alaska (Dutton, 2005), though it does challenge readers with its nod to postmodern structure. Right after intellectual child-prodigy Colin Singleton graduates from high school, his girlfriend (who, like the 18 young women and girls whom he claimed as girlfriends over the years, is named Katherine) breaks up with him and sends him into a total funk. His best friend, Hassan, determines that he can only be cured with a road trip. After some rather aimless driving, the two find themselves in Gutshot, TN, where locals persuade them to stay. There, Colin spends his spare time working on a mathematical theorem of love, hypothesizing that romantic relationships can be graphed and predicted. The narrative is self-consciously dorky, peppered with anagrams, trivia, and foreign-language bons mots and interrupted by footnotes that explain, translate, and expound upon the text in the form of asides. It is this type of mannered nerdiness that has the potential to both win over and alienate readers. As usual, Green's primary and secondary characters are given descriptive attention and are fully and humorously realized. While enjoyable, witty, and even charming, a book with an appendix that describes how the mathematical functions in the novel can be created and graphed is not for everybody. The readers who do embrace this book, however, will do so wholeheartedly.Amy S. Pattee, Simmons College, Boston[Page 206]. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Many places claim to be "right on the beach."
I have seen some that were very close to the beach, including a few that were directly across the street from the beach, but almost none are actually right on the beach. Nobody seems to mind the slight exaggeration, just as nobody seems to mind when a place advertises itself as having the "best cheeseburger in the world" or the "best pizza in the world."
They get away with it because taste in food is subjective, and if anyone were to complain, the owners of said establishments can escape with a simple "Well, my Uncle Lou thinks it's the pizza in the world."
As a result, few people protest when business owners make outrageous claims. But I rarely let them slide.
Since Orange County is located along a large body of water that we like to call the Pacific Ocean, I object to bar and restaurant owners who claim to be "right on the beach" when they clearly are not right on the beach.
The owners of the relatively new restaurant Sandy's Beach Grill don't like to brag, but they could.
Sandy's, which is just below the venerable Duke's (same owner) at the foot of the pier, is so close to the beach that even I will allow them to say that they are "right on the beach."
Technically, the front door opens on to the boardwalk that sits right on the beach, but it's close enough. It's a well-known fact that the word "close" counts only in the game of horseshoes and in beach bar location. I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.
Anyway, this has been a long-winded attempt to say that you can dress real casual and have one heck of a view from the bar or patio at Sandy's.
Check out happy hour at Sandy's
Their slogan is "Come as you are," and I suppose they will allow you to dress as beachy as you like. The food is pretty casual as well, although high-end seafood and filet mignon are available.
Happy hour is generous in both hours of operation (3:30-6:30 p.m., Monday-Friday) and in bargains (eight appetizers are offered at a reduced rate and, if you order two dishes, you get a third for free).
On Tuesdays and Fridays, a live band performs from 6-8 p.m.

I had gone to my LBS for a price match. That's when he told me about the recall and advised me to return it imml'y, after showing me the document. Search on google for more info. Yakima.com did not provide any collateral on this.

Character Building
Enjoying the real estate boom and enduring the subsequent doom, the UAE's property and construction industry is looking ahead for a new investment climate.
April 28, 2011 3:48 by Atique Naqvi
Abu Dhabi-based developer Aldar Properties has gained momentum after the government-owned investment arm Mubadala Development Co injected $5.2 billion in January this year. "We will continue to seek opportunities to capitalize on our existing land bank,'' said Sami Asad, the chief executive officer of Aldar.
Aldar aims to boost its investment portfolio by delivering several projects including Al Raha Beach, Al Muneera, Al Zeina and developments at Yas Island in 2011, said Asad.
However, some grey areas remain in Dubai's property sector. "Dubai continues to feel the pressure of excess supply, but we may have turned a corner with a modest pick-up in tenant activity over the past 12 months, which was backed up by a 17 percent rise in the number of new business licenses issued in the emirate during 2010,'' said CB
Richard Ellis' Green.
So all is not lost for Dubai in 2011, as lower-than-expected supply will help smooth out the property cycle in Dubai. "There will be an increased demand for office space in Dubai due to competitive prices and availability of good quality grade A office spaces," said JLL's Plumb.
About three million square feet of commercial space was leased in Dubai last year, and for Abu Dhabi the figure was 2.5 million sq ft in 2010, said the JLL report. Increased absorption of commercial space is likely to continue in 2011. "The average residential rent levels will continue to fall in Dubai and Abu Dhabi this year," said JLL's Plumb.
"But the rents at Dubai's residential property market are likely to bottom out by the end of 2011." The residential rents in Abu Dhabi will continue to decline until the first quarter of 2012, according to the JLL study.
"Tenants are exploiting the favorable conditions to move into higher specification properties in more desirable locations, and often at lower rents and with the benefit of further incentives," said CB Richard Ellis' Green.
Although property developers and buyers have become extra cautious, one of the major players is seeing good growth in the future.
Drake & Scull, which saw its turnover reach AED2 billion ($545 million) by end of 2010, estimates the turnover will increase by 50 percent in 2011, according to Tabari. "At the end of 2010, Drake & Scull's backlog was $1.63 billion and it reached around $2.17 billion in February this year,'' said Tabari. ''This means the total turnover by the end of 2011 would be around $1.09 billion," said the Drake & Scull executive. Drake & Scull's figures are an indication that the property market is coming back on track, but the full-fledged recovery is yet to begin, as some sections of the construction sector are expected to perform better than others.
According to the JLL study, more than $45 billion of projects have been announced or are in the pipeline in the UAE, a country that boasts one of the highest levels of per capita transport infrastructure spending globally. Across the UAE, this investment will stimulate growth and will be a key driver for the market recovery in 2011.
Increasing investments in major transport infrastructure projects across the UAE will fill the development gaps and create demand for the real estate in the country, said the advisory firm. The major long-term investments such as the Union Railway, the Dubai
Metro, the Abu Dhabi Metro and the extensions of the UAE's three international airports will further boost the construction sector, JLL added. Also, contrary to popular belief, the uncertainty factor due to the recent political turmoil in the region might end up
favoring the UAE market as a relatively stable investment option.
"The unrest that has unfolded across the region has only caused to underline the level of stability that has been achieved in the UAE,'' said CB Richard Ellis' Green. ''This alone is an attraction for the corporations, and given the quality of infrastructure already in place, it is safe to assume that Dubai and Abu Dhabi will be on the short-list for any major new international companies eyeing the Middle East and North Africa region."
Increased government spending in the Gulf region overall and higher oil prices will also benefit the property and construction sectors in the UAE.
"Some parts of the region have experienced political change in the first few months of the year, however, that will act as a powerful catalyst for enduring stability in the longer term,'' said Damac's Mcloughlin. "The Middle East accounts for nearly 60 percent of the world's proven oil reserves, and as a result remains an extremely important region within the global context.''
He added: "As oil-producing nations seek to diversify their economies, construction, infrastructure and property will continue to play a significant role in the advancement of investment and growth in the region.''
Drake & Scull's Tabari noted: "Our eyes are on the political situation in the Middle East and as the government spending has increased in the GCC, the sector won't be affected negatively.''
JLL, however, said it was too early to derive a trend from the recent political unrest, according to the firm's regional director of the International Capital Group, Fadi Moussalli.
"The developments in the region are so recent that deriving a trend is a little bit early, but, of course, everybody is concerned with these events, not just the players in the property sector,'' he said.
"High Net Worth Individuals from the region, who are prone to shift their capital to safe havens, might go ahead, but the sovereign funds will wait and watch before they make their moves.''

Plenty Jackpots casino are included on our Blacklist for failure to pay players.
Plenty Jackpots are a RealTime Gaming casino with an extremely worrying record when it comes to paying players.
Trustworthiness 0/10
Due to the Blacklisted status of this group of casinos, we did not feel comfortable asking one of our reviewers to play with them.
Part of the Morriyen Investments group - more commonly know to players as the Rome casino group - this is a group of casinos that while inconsistently more responsive to dealing with player disputes, generates a disproportionately high volume of complaints, again mostly related to excessively slow payment of players.
These casino do engage with some dispute mediation, but have recently withdrawn from working with CasinoMeister all together after a spat with the AffActive group (another group we don't recommend playing with) where both sides seem to have misrepresented what was going on.
Morriyen Investments also has ties to the Real Vegas group - owned by Curgam NV - who are one of the least player friendly groups on the market right now. There are numerous reports from multiple sources of them taking several months - and in some shocking instances years - to pay players, when payment turns up at all. They will frequently give players assurances about when funds will arrive, fail to deliver and then inform the player that the process has to be started from scratch. This cycle goes on ad nauseam.
During our December 2013 update, it came to light that the Rome group casinos have be forceably taken over by their software provider Top Game resulting in many accusations and lawsuits between the two parties.
Alongside this we found numerous instances of this group failing to respond to complaints.

Anthony "Tony the Ant" Spilotro
Revision as of 13:17, July 30, 2012 by 188.8.131.52 (Talk)
this wiki
Anthony "Tony the Ant" Spilotro (May 19, 1938 – June 14, 1986) was an Italian-American mobster and enforcer for the Chicago Outfit in Las Vegas during the 1970s and 1980s. It is generally thought his job was to protect and oversee the Outfit's illegal casino profits, called, the "skim." Spilotro replaced Outfit member Marshall Caifano.
Early life
Spilotro was born in Chicago in 1938. He grew up on the city's near west side in an Italian-American neighborhood known as The Patch, an area that saw it's share of young toughs grow up to become members of the Chicago Mob. Spilotro had five brothers, John, Vincent, Pasqule, Victor and Michael, all of whom, with the notable exception of Pasquale, a dentist, became involved with organized crime to varying degrees.
Spiltoro began his life of crime early, amassing a number of arrests as a juvenile. Spilotro was a thief and attracted the attention of mob members quickly. Spilotro served an apprenticeship of sorts under noted mob enforcer and loan shark "Mad" Sam DeStefano. Spilotro also began forging a professional relationship with gambler and bookmaker Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, a longime family friend, that would culminate in both men holding important positions overseeing the mob's interests in Las Vegas.
M & M Murders
In 1963 Spilotro participated in what became known as the M&M murders. Burglars Billy McCarthy and Jimmy Miraglia (M & M) became targets of the Chicago Mob after committing a shooting in a known mob hangout that resulted in the deaths of two mob associates. Relying on information from Frank Cullotta, (an associate of M&M and a lifelong friend of Anthony Spilotro) McCarthy was snatched off the streets by Spilotro and noted hitmen Charles Nicoletti and Felix "Milwaukee Phil" Alderisio. They then proceeded to torture McCarthy to give up the name of his accomplice. After having his head placed in a vise by Spilotro, McCarthy gave up his accomplice Miraglia and was killed, with Miraglia's murder following later on. McCarthy's murder was infamouly recreated in the film Casino. It is believed that Spilotro became a made man as a result of this hit.
"Boss" of Las Vegas
By 1971, Spilotro had become an accomplished gangster and hitman. It was this success, coupled with his friendship with Frank Rosenthal, that caused him to be sent to Las Vegas by the Outfit hierarchy to oversee their interests, mainly the skimming of profits from casinos secretly owned by the mob. Spilotro took it upon himself to increase his role and effectively become the "boss" of Las Vegas, not only overseeing the skim but taking over all organized street crime in Las Vegas. Contrary to popular opinion, Spilotro held no official position as a "boss" or even as a capo in the Chicago Outfit. Spilotro worked under his capo back in Chicago, Joseph "Joey the Clown" Lombardo.
Over time Spilotro's profile, and the high number of murders that came with it, caused Spilotro to become heavily scrutinized by the authorities not only in Vegas and Chicago, but the FBI as well. Complicating matters was the falling out he had with Frank Rosenthal, caused mainly by an affair Spilotro began with Rosenthal's wife, Geri."
By 1986, the powers that be had grown tired of Spilotro and all the troubles he had caused. In June of 1986, lured under the guise of being promoted within the mob ranks, Spilotro and his brother Michael were murdered. They were beaten and garroted in a basement in the Chicago suburb or Bensenville and were then buried in a cornfield in rural Indiana. Contrary to the portrayal of the murders in the film Casino, they were not beaten with baseball bats nor buried alive.
In Pop Culture
Spilotro remains one of the more interesting figures in Chicago mob history and has been portrayed on film twice. First on the NBC television series Crime Story, and then in the 1995 Martin Scorsese film Casino. In Crime Story, Anthony Dension portrays mobster Ray Luca, a highly fictionalized version of Spilotro. In Casino, Joe Pesci portrays Nicky Santoro, also a fictionalized version but much closer in truth to the real Spilotro.

Examining the Persuasive Effect of Statistical Messages: A Test of Mediating Relationships
Lindsey, Lisa L. Massi, Yun, Kimo Ah, Communication Studies
Since the beginning of the 20th century, persuasion researchers have been concerned with answering questions regarding the major determinants of message effectiveness (e.g., Boster & Mongeau, 1984; Chaiken, 1980; McCroskey, 1969; O'Keefe, 1990; Petty & Cacioppo, 1986a; Stiff, 1986). Much of this research has explored the important components of the persuasion process by positing and testing research questions and hypotheses to reveal the conditions under which messages are most persuasive.
In their quest to extend the persuasion literature, researchers sought to address questions centered generally around knowing two things: what kind of persuasive message is most effective (e.g., Allen et al., 1990; Hale, Mongeau, & Thomas, 1991; McCroskey, Young, & Scott, 1972), and what factors contribute to the persuasiveness of a message (e.g., Arnold & McCroskey, 1967; Harte, 1976; McCroskey & Young, 1981; Petty & Cacioppo, 1984; Slater & Rouner, 1997). In order to answer these questions, the dominant research approach has been to vary the content of a persuasive message in experimental conditions and to examine subsequently its persuasive outcome. In doing this, scholars have examined systematically the persuasiveness of a variety of message types such as refutational (e.g., Allen et al., 1990; Hale et al., 1991; McCroskey et al., 1972; O'Keefe, 1998; Winkel, 1984), narrative (e.g., Ah Yun & Massi, 2001; Kazoleas, 1993; Kopfman, Smith, Ah Yun, & Hodges, 1998), and statistical appeals (e.g., Ah Yun & Massi 2000; Dickson, 1982; Yalch & Yalch, 1984).
The research focusing on persuasive messages has increased our understanding of various message effects in three important ways. First, we know that various message types successfully elicit the desired attitude (see, for example, McCroskey, 1967, 1969; Nadler, 1983; Reinard, 1988). With respect to refutational messages, for example, Allen et al. (1990) compared the persuasive effect of three different messages. One message presented only positive statements, the second presented a two-sided refutational message, and the third was a two-sided nonrefulational message. Allen and his colleagues found that the refutational message was more persuasive than the one-sided message, which, in turn, was more persuasive than the two-sided nonrefutational message. Research such as this has enabled scholars to determine the types of messages that are most persuasive and elicit desired attitudes.
Second, the research has provided explanations as to why various message types are persuasive (e.g., Harte, 1976; Rosenthal, 1971; Stiff, 1986). For example, in an examination of fear appeals, Witte (1992) developed a model to explicate the processes involved when individuals are exposed to fear appeals. Her model suggests that fear appeal messages that induce a perceived threat in a receiver will promote a positive health behavior change so long as that person believes that a behavioral change is possible and that it will successfully avert the threat presented in the message.
Finally, previous research has explained that any number of intervening factors may explain the effect of a given message. For example, Ah Yun and Massi (2001) found that sympathy, happiness, and perceived vividness mediated the relationship between content variations of a narrative message and a person's attitude toward signing an organ donor card.
This body of research suggests that understanding which types of messages are most persuasive, why specific messages are persuasive, and which factors mediate the relationship between the type of message and its outcomes are important components of understanding persuasive messages. Although a great deal of the persuasive message effects research has answered the above questions in regards to many specific message types-for example, refutational and narrative messages-scholars have not undertaken such an examination of statistical appeals to determine why they are persuasive and which factors mediate the relationship between statistical messages and their effects. …

text: You are here: Home > Counties > Isle of Man > Latest news > Save a life September Learn how to Save a life this September St John Ambulance, the nation's leading first aid charity, is launching Save a Life September as part of a campaign to equip as many people as possible with vital first aid skills. Training saves lives Throughout September, the charity will be giving free demonstrations at locations across the British Isles, including the Isle of Man. The public will learn how to save a life using five easy-to-follow techniques and will receive a free pocket-sized first aid guide to carry in case of emergency. In the Island, events will take place on Saturday 24 September between 10am and 4pm at: The Strand Shopping Centre, Douglas Shoprite, Brisdon Street, Port Erin The Mill Shop, Tynwald Mills, St John's Ramsey Town Hall, Parliament Square, Ramsey Sessions will also be held for students at Castle Rushen High School, King William's College and the Isle of Man College. Statistics show need for first aid awareness Research carried out by St John Ambulance last year showed that up to 150,000 people die every year in situations where first aid could have given them the chance to live. This includes nearly 900 people who choke to death, 2,500 who asphyxiate from a blocked airway and 29,000 who die from heart attacks. In addition, the charity found that around 58% of people wouldn't know what to do if faced with a medical emergency and a quarter would do nothing. Phil Bennett, Commercial Development Officer for St John Ambulance Isle of Man, said: 'Learning first aid is one of the single most important things you can do in your life. You never know when you may need it - at work, at home, in school, playing sport. With basic first aid skills, anyone can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved and what could be more important than saving someone's life? 'By launching Save a Life September and holding first aid demonstrations across the Island, we want to reach as many people as possible, so that more people are equipped with the skills to save a life. Anyone who needs first aid should get it and armed with this knowledge we can all be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.'

Don't share your age on the internet, and don't accuse someone of being your age when you are that age too :)
If I was 11, where is my spot in the Guiness Book of World Records? I can drive, I have tattoos, I have 2 jobs, I have a girlfriend and I have an apartment.
Rolby also claims to be 16, but I'd be embarrassed if I was dumber than an "11 year old."

The Ritz-Carlton, Georgetown
Traveler Comments
Great location, very comfortable and inviting. Good service, nice rooms, great location and price.
The Location & service was outstanding. The price was higher than I expected.
Don't have anything specific to say
Excellent hotel
It was the Ritz Carlton near the Crystal Mall and it was beautiful. My children enjoyed the mall and could walk right out into it. There was construction work underway and that made it crowded and difficult to get around the front entrance. But it was a very enjoyable experience overall and a beautiful place to stay.
Well satisfied with the friendly courtious service provided.
Everything was adequate. I found the meeting space to be a little small, but Washington DC does not have a lot space, so this consideration is mute.

Phoenix police were seeking the gunman who shot a priest to death and critically wounded another Wednesday night.
Police spokesperson Steve Martos tells CBS News officers responded to a "burglary" in the living quarters of a church just after 9 p.m. AZCentral.com reports it occurred at the Mother of Mercy Mission in the Capitol District.
The caller was actually the surviving victim, who was rushed to a hospital, Martos told CBS News. His wound apparently wasn't from a bullet.
The other victim was pronounced at a hospital, Martos said
A Mazda Tribute belonging to one of the priests was stolen but found a short time later, he added.
No motive was known early Thursday.
Names of victims haven't been released.

Healthy smiles -- dental staff provides free screenings at CDC
February 10, 2011
By Michele Watson, Army Flier Staff
FORT RUCKER, Ala. -- February is the American Dental Association's National Children's Dental Health Month.
To kick off the celebration, the Tooth Fairy, also known as Roseanne Licina, Red Cross volunteer, along with Dr. Ann Bagley D.D.S, with the Dental Clinic, visited the Child Development Center Feb. 2.
According to the American Dental Association, parents do not realize they should be cleaning the gums of babies long before the first tooth comes in, which explains why 40 percent of children in the United States have a cavity by age 6.
Around 250 children, ages infant to 6 years old, participated in the dental screening provided by the dental health clinic.
"Teaching children of all ages good dental hygiene is very important," said Bagley. "During the month, activities have been set up to help make the public aware of how important it is to have children practice good dental health hygiene at an early age."
The clinic will hold its annual "Toothbrush Turn In" next week. Children can throw away their old toothbrushes and stop by the dental clinic to get a new one.
"It is very important that not only children, but adults as well, replace their toothbrush every three months," Dr. Bagley said.
The dental clinic reinforces the importance of celebrating Dental Health Month.
"I believe children of all ages should practice good dental hygiene," Licina said. "Children need to learn at an early age the importance of brushing their teeth and taking proper care of their teeth. Having good dental hygiene affects a child's mental and physical well-being."
Following the dental screening, children who participated received their own dental mirror and a new toothbrush. They also received a little goodie bag from the Tooth Fairy full of specialty items to help promote good dental hygiene.
"We want to thank the dental clinic for coming today," said Sandra Milstead, representative with the CDC. "They have taken time out of their schedule to help make sure the children here at the CDC learn proper dental hygiene."
For more information on dental health, call 255-3393.

We use short-term, well-researched treatment methods (such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Focused Therapy) which are documented to be helpful for people whose mental illnesses create significant problems in living.

I know they say you should give yourself positive affirmations
I always have a hard time doing that . I look in the mirror and say some but all I do back is grimace and say " YEAH RIGHHHT !"
So yesterday out of the blue I channeled Raymond Burr or did he just appear ? I am not sure...
I have been having issues with my scale. Well maybe not the scale so much its new but my floor , I live in a wonderful old Victorian house with sloping floors , So I can weigh in with five pounds up or ten pounds down ! I was trying to even the floor by putting books under the scale and placing it in various places around the apartment .Needless to say I was getting aggravated , That's when Raymond Burr waltzed in , with his suave masculine charisma " What are you doing ?" " I am trying to get this #$$%%!!! Scale to work ! " " You know your a wonderful woman .. Your smart and intelligent ..Does it matter what the number is on the scale as long as you can tell if you lost or gained ? I personally never cared about my weight .." " Yeah right but your Raymond Burr ! Your drop dead sexy even though your fat ! " at this remark Raymond narrowed his eyes and gave a huff " If you don't mind I prefer PORTLY, " Then he went on ... " I am here to tell you that your beautiful just the way you are . If you want to improve , then improve ..but remember you can do anything you set your mind to , I have faith in you ."
A m I crazy ? No I dont think so .. although others might disagree ! The affirmations seemed to be more real and less silly when Raymond said them !

Too cute! Fantastic pep talk! This should be telling you something, maybe your house knows -you don't need a scale! If you are exercising regularly and eating healthy and making it a permanent lifestyle change, all the numbers and clothing sizes will eventually follow, and the bonus is you will feel great!
Keep up the great work!

Love this..... Thanks for posting. Also, I am sure Raymond Burr would say "Portly."
