A social project that made our hearts melt.We are proud of being able to help the german branch of Ronald McDonald House Charities to communicate the new and very helpful way of payroll-giving in Germany, to potential donators. In the beginning we were asked to do an explaining animation on how this payroll-giving thing works. Having looked into the foundation and what it does closely, we were certain that a film that explains payroll-giving on the one side, but also emotionalizes people to donate, was the better way. The foundation was convinced by our thinking and this is the result.
After helping to bring the very successful film "Maya The Bee 3D" to the big screen for client Studio 100 Media in Munich, the next big thing is on its way.
Our big childhood hero Vic the Viking will hit cinemas in a not so far future.
Meanwhile we created this teaser together with the Paris-based animation studio Studio 100 Animation, in order to come up with the look&feel for the film and also to test the pipeline for the following film-production itself. We are very pleased with the outcome; hope you like it.
In case of any inquiries on world sales for Vic the Viking please contact Studio 100 Film.
Yet again we produced films for the AUDI annual report 2014. Two films were shot in Portugal and Switzerland and then post produced at our Stuttgart facilities.
It was again a great crossmedia storytelling experience with our colleagues at the lead-agency KDgroup and online-agency 21torr.
See the full experience here!
The first complete MAYA THE BEE 3D Trailer is online and showing in cinemas. After 2 years of extensive work, we are looking very much forward to the german premiere on september 11th, 2014.
Every respectable company needs new apprentices from time to time.
When asked by the local car-mechanics guild if we had an idea on how to generate more interest in their job, we came up with the idea of a superhero: AZUBIGIRL.
The character was then not only brought to life in the digital but also in the real world at a big launch event. Take a Look!

They said it on Facebook: bad restaurant behavior
What's the fastest way to make an asshole out of yourself in a restaurant? I was wondering because of some recent experiences, so I asked my Facebook friends, and as usual, they stepped up to the plate and offered up a potpourri of opinions which I am happy to share with you!
Send back the wine merely because you don't like it.
Arrogance toward the staff.
Walk in like you own the place.
Snap your fingers at the server.
Light up a cigar and refuse to put it out saying……"this is a $100 cigar!!!"
Ask to speak to the Chef before your food has been served!!
Yell for service.
Take a line of my fav movie, The Jerk, "Hey waiter, you think in a fancy restaurant like this, you could keep the snails OFF the plate. And what's with all this OLD wine, please go bring back something new, something from this year!"
Talk loudly on your phone.
Question a waiter about a dish and then show that you doubt he knows what he's talking about (as in a long-ago date that I walked out on).
Pull down your pants and ask the server "what wine goes best with Wienerschnitzel?"
Quickest would be to ask to be moved from where they seat you three times. That's instantaneous. Or maybe to just start insulting the hostess before you even get to that.
Anything that disrespects the restaurant staff.
Speak loudly on your cellphone while sitting alone at a table, without regard for your volume level.
Ask for a reasonably priced wine from their wine list.
Have no reservation, show up at 8 on the weekend and mispronounce the owner's last name because he is a "dear friend".
Ask in a loud voice, "what the fuck is the soup du jour?"
Because of course he'd give you a table…
Snapping your fingers to get service or refusing to take your ill-behaved children outside that are clearly too young to be there, so they can cool off and quit screaming.
Order Orange wine!
Send your food back because it's too hot.
Ask for their finest white zin.
Tell the chef how to cook. That will get you in hot water quick!
take photos of everything including selfies of you with the waiter, chef, somm…
Talk about how good food, wine and service is at other restaurants.
Order something not on the menu.
Scrape your plate, and then complain that you did not like the food!
Arrive naked.
Rudeness towards an employee.
BUT…the biggest asshole(s) in a restaurant is the person, or persons who know full well the restaurant is closed, and yet they stay to absurdly late hours, keeping everyone else waiting there for them.
Asking for a red Château d'Yquem.
Leave a .02 cent tip.
Letting your kids run around like wild creatures in the restaurant instead of making them say in their seats (not bringing them something to do to keep them occupied also makes you bad) and then looking at your kids and smiling like everyone should also love them too when in actuality everyone is plotting the demise of them & your family (and I am a mom!). Also allowing them to scream like it's some cute thing they do. It's not.
Walk out of the restroom with your skirt tucked in your panties.
Ask for ice in your wine.
Be a loudmouth name dropper, take every call on your non-muted ringer, and also incessantly talk about the legs of the wine.
or wear a Dodger hat, anywhere outside of L.A.
Act like your customers are a dime a dozen.
Declare yourself and your friends "foodies who have eaten at the best restaurants on the planet". Then say that you're allergic to everything.
Loud bitching and moaning.
[This is Steve] I'm sure that none of my readers has ever committed any of these faux pas! I certainly haven't!
To Santa Maria Valley, and my dinner at RN74
Off to Santa Barbara today, for a quick trip to the Santa Maria Valley and Cambria and Byron. I always like traveling through coastal wine country, especially at this time of the year; as you pass by the Santa Lucia Highlands, and the vast stretches of southern Monterey and the San Bernabe Vineyard – as you zip through the Central Coast, with Arroyo Grande and Edna Valley just to the east, marked by the Seven Sisters – as you come into Los Alamos and the vineyards pick up again, sprawling on both sides of the road – you get a real sense of the terroir of the coast. Always just to the west is the mighty Pacific. Sometimes you can see it, sometimes the road curls too far inland, cutting the ocean off from sight; but always you can feel it in the cool winds, and I swear I can smell it, a sort of ionized, salt-laden scent that reminds me of Manzanilla sherry.
This sense of terroir is very different from the more technical analyses that we writers love to engage in, but to get a more generalized sense of the lay of the land – one which you feel subtly in your fingertips but can't precisely define – is perhaps the more important way to understand terroir. The emotive and intuitive sense always has been important in a thorough understanding of wine. I had dinner last night with the Master Sommelier, Sur Lucero, who spoke of perceiving wine in terms of colors and shapes. I, myself, do not. When it came my turn to describe what we were drinking, I turned to human characteristics, for different wines always remind me of different sorts of people. There are shy, reticent wines, boastful wines, wines of elegance and charm. There are common wines, rude and ill-raised; then there are what I can wines of breed. We drank, courtesy of the sommelier at RN74, an older Burgundy, a Latricieres-Chambertin, whose vintage was unknown; the label bearing the year had fallen off. Sur guessed it to be 1985. It was a magnificent specimen that changed constantly in the glass, never drying out even after several hours but always gaining in force. With beef tartare it was excellent; ditto with gnocchi, and at the end of the meal, when the server brought a little plate of chocolates and other sweet dainties, that Burgundy was a fine partner. As I ate my first little chocolate and sipped the wine, and before I could say anything, Sur observed – correctly – "Stripped away the fruit, didn't it?"
"Yes," I replied, "but still a good pairing." With the fruit, which was massive, now having receded, one could appreciate the wine's structure even more. Sur seemed to like that, so I continued. There is a concept, I told him, of being raised properly by one's parents, to be kind and respectful to everyone, King and servant alike. I always had been struck by interviews with people who met Queen Elizabeth. "Such a nice lady" is the usual take. "Puts you at your ease. So easy to talk with." This is the sign of good breeding. In the same way, that red Burgundy got along with every food I had it with. I'm sure someone could have come up with something it clashed with, but it was a wine whose very universality was perhaps its greatest recommendation. A wine like that possesses, not so much a distinct personality, as the absence of a personality: it is the Platonic ideal of wine, and as such embraces, with love, any food with which wine, even theoretically, can be enjoyed. For that reason it was what some people call a conceptual wine.
At any rate, it was a lovely evening, and even though Sur and I didn't agree 100% of the time on things like In Pursuit of Balance, I was very grateful to benefit from his take on wine. He also has a great (if frightening and sobering) personal story of the Napa earthquake.
Have a great weekend!
Pssst: Wanna buy a restaurant reservation?
Ever get frustrated about not being able to get a restaurant reservation when you actually want one?
Happens to me a fair amount. My go-to restos tend to be in Oakland, since that's where I live: Ozumo, Pican, Bocanova, Lungomare, among others. But so popular are these places that you really need to make your reservations far in advance—unless you're willing to dine before 6 or after 9, which for the most part I am not. I like eating dinner at the normal hours of 7-8 p.m., but so does everyone else: hence, the difficulty. (The problem is worse in San Francisco. Try getting a 7:30 table at Boulevard. Good luck!)
Of course, I can always go to a non-reservation restaurant. We have some nice ones in my neighborhood: Boot & Shoe Service, the new Captain & Corset, and Hawker Fare. But that presents its own problems, namely, lines! I pretty much have a firm policy of not standing in line waiting for a table to open up.
Dining should be a pleasant experience; we should be able to eat where and when we want to. But that's not reality. So some entrepreneurial types have discovered a new way to make money in the San Francisco Bay Area: they get reservations at in-demand restaurants, and then sell them online.
I first heard about this practice a while ago, when I read this article about reservationhop.com, "a startup that makes reservations at San Francisco's most popular restaurants and then sells them back to the public 'for as little as $5'", according to the S.F. Chronicle. But reservationhop is hardly the only new business trying its hand at the reservation-selling game. Table8 also is doing it: when I went to their website yesterday, they were selling reservations for such ultrachic places as Acquerello, Foreign Cinema, Waterbar, The Slanted Door and, yes, Boulevard (for up to $25 a shot!). The online S.F. site, Eater, quotes Table8's founders as claiming "their offering actually levels the playing field for 'normal' people, allowing them the chance to get into a hot restaurant without advance planning." That is true, I suppose; but you have to be a fairly well-to-do "normal person" to be able to afford to eat at one of these places plus pay a double-digit fee! (I don't suppose you have to factor the reservation fee into the tip, do you?)
As you'd expect in a contentious town like San Francisco, there's been some blowback against the reservation sellers that's reminiscent of the complaints about Uber and Airbnb. One person who's not so happy with the situation is a restaurant owner himself: Ryan Cole, whose Stones Throw is on Russian Hill. "I feel sick to my stomach to think that restaurants of such high pedigree and prestige would agree to participate in something so fundamentally against the principles of hospitality," he wrote recently, in an open letter published in the Chronicle's Inside Scoop online edition. He likened it to "the old practice of slipping the doorman a $100 bill and skipping the wait for your table." (Actually, it's also rather the way StubHub works.) Ryan feels there's something vaguely immoral about selling reservations. "Just because you can charge the premium doesn't mean you should."
I myself am neutral on all this. "It is what it is," goes the current slogan, and besides, even if reservation selling is a horrible degradation of traditional restauranting, it's here to stay. People want to be able to eat at top restaurants at their preferred times, and if they have to pay an extra $25 for the privilege, so be it! (I just hope they don't make up for it by skimping on the wine.) But I personally won't indulge in any of it. For every nice restaurant that's next to impossible to book a table, there are dozens that aren't. Let's not forget that.
Friday Fishwrap: old wine writers never die, we just eat pizza!
Hello. My name is Steve and I'm a "grand-fatherly white male traditional print writer."
That's what Amy Corron Power called me in her blog today. She was referring to my recent panel on wine writing at the Wine Bloggers Conference; my co-panelists were Mike Dunne and James Conaway, who are pictured, with me, in this little graphic Amy put up.
She wrote, apparently facetiously, that we were "the only 'true experts' to whom we should aspire."
I must admit that when I saw my panel I had the same thought. Three aging Boomers in a room full of bloggers mostly in their twenties and thirties: Yes, it did seem a little weird to me.
But let's break it down. There's lots of collective career success between Dunne, Conaway and me. And the Wine Bloggers Conference always has had a pedagogical or mentoring relationship with the bloggers who attend: I've gone there for long enough, and sat on enough panels, to know. If you're a young and ambitious blogger, who better to get advice from than older guys (and gals) who have been around the block a few times and can tell you what's up?

I've written a fair amount (here, on Twitter and on Facebook) about Oakland's changing culinary scene. One classic example of it—and of what not to do—centers around Michelin-starred Daniel Patterson (Coi, in San Francisco) and his recently shuttered Oakland restaurant, Plum. Much was made of Plum when it opened in 2010 in the Franklin Square area off-Broadway. It was from Patterson, it was at Ground Zero of the restaurant scene in the newly-dubbed Uptown District, and it was high-concept and expensive. Those last two distinctions sealed Plum's fate.
I ate there a few times in 2010-2011 and was always disappointed. I'm not big on high-concept food, where the abstract thinking and plate design seem to be more important than the flavors. And the prices were quite high. It was the experience of eating in places like Plum that always led me to tell people I'd rather have good, cheap Mexican or Thai than throw my money away for a "culinary experience."
Well, apparently I wasn't the only one who felt that way. Patterson closed Plum and has reopened the spot as Ume, a Japanese-themed restaurant whose prices aren't bad. I haven't eaten there yet, but plan to; Michael Bauer gave it a pretty good review in the San Francisco Chronicle.
Plum's closure does say something about Oakland and what its citizens want in a dining establishment. We want nourishing, delicious food in a friendly environment that's filled with people who look and sound like us. Oakland isn't San Francisco or Manhattan; high concept doesn't cut it. (I still don't understand the success of Commis.)
The quintessential Oakland resto is Boot and Shoe Service. Loud, easy-going, happy, hip and boozy, this pizza-themed joint caters to a blue-jeaned, tattooed crowd that knows how to have a good time. I love bringing friends, sitting at the bar munching on a margherita pizza and gulping vodka gimlets while all the pretty people come and go. There's money to be made in Oakland, only you have to know what people want. Whole Foods understood that when they built their big store around the corner from me. I credit Whole Foods with helping to turn my neighborhood around. I think Josiah Baldivino understands that, too, with his launching of Bay Grape. We Oaklanders are proud of our culture and traditions, and will support entrepreneurs who believe in us and respect our way of doing things.
Wednesday wraparound: Boredom, urban wineries, and medals, medals, medals
Once upon a time, people bought the wines they liked and had trusted over many years, because they knew they would not be disappointed.
It may have been a Gallo Hearty Burgundy, or a Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé, a Chianti or Mateus or Wente Grey Riesling. The wines could always be found on the local supermarket shelf, and the price didn't break the bank.
That was then; nowadays, we have "the paradox of choice. Overstimulated by so many options," writes Joyce Goldstein, in Inside the California Food Revolution, "we have become accustomed to constant change and instant boredom."
Granted, Joyce is talking about how and where we eat—the amazing proliferation of types of cuisine we have at our disposal. But the same could be said about wine. And this is making life very difficult for the small family winemaker.
I was hanging out yesterday with a guy who owns his own wine brand, but he's not likely to in the future. Business is not good, and he, himself, doesn't know what to do about it. He can't afford a staff, which means he has to do it all: vineyard contracting, winemaking, sales, marketing (such as it is) and all the rest. This is obviously too much for one person, so the end of the road is near.
It's a sad story, especially since I've known this guy and know what a terrific winemaker he is. But his plight is the direct result of Joyce's observation about our food proclivities: We're accustomed to constant change, and we grow quickly bored. Under those circumstances, someone might have bought my friend's wine and enjoyed it. But that person will be reluctant to become a loyal customer because of this constant search for the new and different.
I don't know what the answer is. There may not be one. Not every problem has a solution. And it's not enough to warn a young person not to get into the wine business, because when you're young, you're starry-eyed and ambitious, and you can't believe that all your dreams might not come true. They might not—but usually, people don't realize that until they're in the forties.

Our little, homegrown East Bay Vintners Alliance is preparing for their annual fiesta. This year it's August 2, down at Jack London Square. This is the Oakland version of "the urban wine experience," a keen piece of marketing wines made in our nation's increasingly popular, hip cities. For whatever reason, the phenomenon (if that's what it is) is getting widespread press. For instance, there's an article in the latest issue of "Via," the AAA magazine, called "Wineries go to town," that includes several of the East Bay's locals: Donkey & Goat and Rosenblum, as well as wineries in San Francisco (Bluxome Street) and Portland (Enso).
I'll be at the August 2 event and hope to see you there!
* * *
Not to knock my friends who organize and judge at the California State Fair's wine contest, but a headline like "Thousands of medals awarded in State Fair wine completion" doesn't exactly gain my respect. According to the local ABC affiliate, "There were 2,829 wine entries in this year's competition. A panel of judges awarded 2,068 medals to competitors." That's a lot of medals: nearly half of all the wines won one. Bragging rights are, of course, the payoff for winning a medal—but something about this kind of inflated result makes me think of Garrison Keilor's witticism about the kids of Lake Wobegon: "and all the children are above average."
Have a good day!
California cuisine and California wine: partners through life
It had been years since I dined at the Stanford Court Hotel, on top of Nob Hill, so I was looking forward to meeting some folks there last night—not for dinner, just for a few drinks. Still, I wanted to check out the restaurant menu. Reading—no, make that devouring—Joyce Goldstein's new book, Inside the California Food Revolution, I was curious to see how the menu had evolved from 20 years ago, when Fournou's Ovens, the hotel's grand restaurant, served what I recall as rather rich food, French-influenced, and heavy on the meat.
Alas, the menu has evolved, but not as I'd anticipated; as it turns out, there is no restaurant at the Stanford Court, just a rather plain bar menu (sandwiches, steak and such). I asked the concierge about that, and he replied, "New ownership—changing times." Indeed.
Which brings me back to Inside the California Food Revolution. The mark of a great book is that it gets you thinking. I loved the juxtaposition Joyce, and many of the chefs she interviewed, set up between the Los Angeles and San Francisco culinary scenes of twenty years ago. L.A. was "food as fashion," in Joyce's words, as well as "overdone, very over-manipulated…places to see and be seen," according to another restaurateur. By contrast, S.F. chefs were obsessed with purity, quality ingredients, seasonality and eclecticism.
The problem with appealing to fashion is that, quoting the former owner of a famous L.A. restaurant, Citrus, "the life of a restaurant is very short [in L.A.]..very trendy. You're good, you're busy, and then, when a new restaurant opens, say good-bye to your business."
Well, you can say that about any restaurant, to some extent (Daniel Patterson's Plum just closed in Oakland, after a run of several years), but San Francisco and the Bay Area seem more willing to bless a great place, like Boulevard, with longevity than L.A. is. There is, of course, a wine tie-in to all this: I have often wondered about the lifespan of some of these super-expensive California lifestyle wineries, which pop into existence (often in Napa Valley) with the alacrity of mushrooms after an autumn rain, only to disappear just as quickly. With a hired "name" winemaker, the brand enters the "you're busy" phase, which is quickly succeeded by the "good-bye" phase, unless the owner is so wealthy that he can afford to ride an ocean of red ink.
Still, there was one thing both the Southern and Northern California founders of the California cuisine revolution shared in common: a passionate ingenuity bordering on the naïve. As one of them told Joyce, "Back in the 1980s and early 1990s, a lot of chefs weren't [classically] trained. That was freeing. You weren't tied down to a set of rules and told, 'You have to go this way.' No, I don't, because I don't even know what the rules are."
It was that disregard for "the rules" that enabled chefs, including Joyce Goldstein, to do their own thing. They figured that, if they liked something, others would, too. There's a connection, I suspect, between that approach and the loss of Fournou's Ovens: the grand hotel restaurant, with its banquettes, snooty somms, heavily-sauced food and pontifical atmosphere, is no longer suited to today's dining needs, which are more casual. Joyce anticipated that at Square One, her own restaurant, when she opened it (after leaving Chez Panisse) in the mid-1980s. Today, I look at a place like Boulevard, which I think and hope will never close. It's as California-cuisine-y as you can get: the California Lamb Prime T-bone, "wood oven roasted, served off the bone, with zuckerman banana fingerling potatoes with fresh turmeric, aleppo & coriander sauteed bloomsdale spinach, thumbelina carrots, our cardamom orange blossom yogurt, huckleberry molasses, sicilian pistachio aillade, and roasted lamb jus" is a triumph of World ingredients, a happy concoction of elements no one would have conceived of before the California food revolution tore down the walls. Yet Boulevard is noisy, happy, relaxed and fun—all the elements I associate with California (and Northern California, especially). And when you think of it, that's what we want in wine, too, isn't it?

Every week, I'm ranking Saturday's games, from the best to the worst. Which game is No. 1 this week? See my Week 1 Rankings in this post.
Five years sure goes fast, doesn't it? On Thursday, BTN celebrated its 5th anniversary, and to help acknowledge the big day, Mike Hall and Rick Pizzo hosted "BTN 5th Anniversary Special." It was a memorable show that looked back at all the great moments from our time on the air.
The biggest number at the BTN offices today is 5 – as in our five-year anniversary. The years have flown by – though some of the days have been a bit arduous. That's the nature of any kind of new venture. I was reflecting this morning on my first meeting with the BTN people. Frankly, I wasn't sure how interested I was. I really didn't understand what it was going to be.
Has it really already been five years? On Thursday night, BTN airs a one-hour show "BTN 5th Anniversary Special" to look back at just a few of the many memorable moments we've brought our viewers in our first five years. Hosted by Mike Hall and Rick Pizzo, the show airs on BTN/BTN2Go at 8 p.m. ET and then again at 9 p.m., too.
The Big Ten Conference announced the 2012-13 Big Ten men's basketball schedule Thursday. The conference season begins on New Year's Eve and culminates in March with the Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament at the United Center in Chicago.
The 2012 Big Ten football season kicks off with Minnesota visiting UNLV late Thursday night. The Week 1 slate continues Friday, as Michigan State takes on always dangerous Boise State, and wraps up Saturday with the conference's remaining 10 games, including Michigan battling reigning national champ Alabama.
With so much football happening across the Big Ten Conference in the early weeks of the season, it's a good idea to plan ahead and find out where your game will appear on TV. So allow us to introduce you once again to the BTN TV GameFinder. Avoid the rush and panic on Saturday. Use GameFinder below in this post, but if you prefer to bookmark it for future weeks, you can do that, too.

Everything Apple Announced at WWDC 2015 that Actually Matters
Apple announced all kinds of stuff today, including their new streaming music service, iOS 9, OS X El Capitan, and watchOS 2. It was a long conference, so let us sum it up for you.
Apple announced all kinds of stuff today, including their new streaming music service, iOS 9, OS X El Capitan, and watchOS 2. It was a long conference, so let us sum it up for you.
It's that time of year again! Later today at WWDC 2014, Apple's going to trot out its latest and greatest offerings developments for all the world to see. iOS 8! OS X 10.10! And very possibly a plan to take over your home in a way that should totally not freak you out. We'll be covering it all as it unfolds, right…
Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference is kicking off in San Francisco this morning, and they've parked a matte silver Ferrari FF on the floor of the Moscone Center. But why?
Tired of in-car infotainment and map systems with wonky, slow interfaces? Apple thinks they can do better, and they're bringing their redesigned iOS 7 to your car in 2014.
Yesterday's Apple World Wide Developer's Conference isn't a place where you'd expect a lot of car news (other than fake Stig), but the megacorporation revealed how they'll make the iPhone an even more ubiquitous part of your life with announcement of Siri integration with numerous car manufacturers and turn-by-turn…
It was just announced at Apple's 2012 World Wide Developers Conference that the company will work with nine automakers to integrate their Siri voice recognition magic robot into production cars. Remember when we reported on Apple looking for automotive engineers. This might be why.
Normally, Jalopnik will be the place you come for answers. Right now all we have is questions since someone who looks exactly like The Stig from Top Gear randomly appeared at Apple's World Wide Developers Conference today to promote that Game Center thing Apple keeps talking about but no one uses.
Apple announced a host of auto-centric applications and features for iPhones both new and old at yesterday's 2009 World Wide Developers Conference, ranging from driving games to TomTom toys to Zipcar control. The full spectrum of new Apple auto-erotica below.

It's no disgrace t' be poor, but it might as well be.
Kin Hubbard (1868 - 1930)
Source: Abe Martin's Sayings and Sketches, 1915
Contributed by: Zaady
There's no secret about success. Did you ever know a successful man who didn't tell you about it?
Why doesn't the fellow who says 'I'm no speechmaker' let it go at that instead of giving a demonstration?
Don't knock the weather, nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while.
The fellow that owns his own house is always just coming out of a hardware store.
Lots of folks confuse bad management with destiny.
The safest way to double your money is to fold it over once and put it in your pocket.
When a fellow says it hain't the money but the principle o' the thing, it's th' money.

Respond to Review of Yuan Vegetarien
by raphalla
Review: We like this restaurant and have been there for a couple of times for dinner. The food is good and very friendly service. However, it seems like they do not have many staff, so the service can be a bit slow too. There are many choice of food and the portion is big or fair enough with the price. This is our favorite restaurant in Montreal.

Speaker urges business leaders to 'finish strong'
Published: Friday, June 18, 2010 at 11:25 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 18, 2010 at 11:25 a.m.
GRAY — Whether it's making a career change, winning a Super Bowl championship or overcoming tragedy, persistence and faith can carry us through.
Dan Green, author of "Finish Strong," the motivational book that helped rally the New Orleans Saints to victory in Super Bowl XLIV, brought that message to local business leaders Thursday night.
"At the end of the day, you are the quarterback for your life," Green told about 450 attendees at the annual banquet of the South Central Industrial Association, a group that represents businesses in Terrebonne, Lafourche and St. Mary parishes. "You should not let external factors negatively impact you."
Green's encouragement earned a standing ovation from a community bombarded with bad news since the April 20 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, which killed 11 workers and spawned a gusher that has become the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
The group sought Green earlier this year after hearing interviews about his motivating principles and relationship with Saints quarterback Drew Brees.
But the message proved particularly fitting Thursday, said Jane Arnette, the SCIA's executive director.
He helped the group "continue our quest for being leaders," she said. "He did a good job of making us finish strong. He said just what we needed to hear."
Green's book, just over 100 pages and full of stories of people who triumphed over adversity, was published in 2008. But things got interesting, he said, when he got a call from Brees asking him to buy 96 copies to help rally the team together in the offseason. Brees gave each of his teammates a bracelet imploring them to commit to "Finish Strong." They were so fired up, Green said, that it was becoming clear that something special was about to happen.
That continued into the preseason, regular season and ultimately the postseason. At that stage, Brees called back and suggested the idea of creating black-and-gold T-shirts with the slogan to rally fans and raise money for charity, bringing the idea to the wider fan base.
Area retailers raised $300,000 for charity in a matter of weeks, helping fuel a groundswell of support that culminated in the Saints' championship.
The principles behind Finish Strong are simple, Green told the crowd. Believe in yourself and the possibility of doing better. Choice: It's not what happens to you, but how you respond that matters. Commitment: Stick to your goals and hold yourself accountable.
One of the most gratifying things from the Super Bowl run, Green said, is hearing how area people have applied the mantra in their own lives. One woman came to him in tears, telling him how the saying had been crucial to her daughter, severely injured in a motorcycle wreck.
He urged attendees to commit to moving forward, even in the face of economic and environmental uncertainty.
"I believe that God doesn't fill our buckets with more than we can carry," Green said. "Now, the buckets are a lot heavier right now; there's no question about it. But we have to have faith that you, your friends, your family your coworkers, they'll get through this."
Keeping these principles in mind, folks can know that whatever happens, "you did your very best, that you did indeed finish strong."

Product Description
Reproduction Door Skin for 1967-1968 Mustangs.These door skins are perfect for repairing doors with only outer sheet metal damage or wear. Requires welding to the original door shell.
Product ReviewsWrite a review
Door Skin Reproduction Passenger Side 1967-1968 is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tiggie from Good fit Fit is good. Body lines match the quarter panel very well. It will still need a little filler to be perfect, but this should be expected. I had enough material to fold over on the edges, but not as much as the original. Still perfectly functional. My only other concern is a couple slight waves in the middle section of the door, but I can work with that much better than my very dented original. Very good option to buying a whole door if your current inner structure is reasonably solid and straight.

St. Paul cop may have accidentally shot St. Thomas student
-- Update at bottom --
Around 4 a.m. Sunday, a 20-year-old University of St. Thomas student named Charlie was watching TV in his Merriam Park residence when he heard a loud pop.
SEE ALSO: St. Paul police brutality: No felony charges for cops who beat up, maced Eric Hightower
Charlie felt a burn and saw that his wrist had been bloodied. Shortly thereafter, he noticed his bottle of Gatorade was leaking. Upon inspection, he saw that the bottle had been punctured by a bullet that had apparently penetrated the wall of his residence, the Star Tribune reports (Charlie asked the Strib to withhold his last name from publication).
An MPR report details the chain of events that culminated in Charlie getting grazed by a bullet (his injuries didn't warrant hospitalization, though the Strib notes that his arm was bandaged when a reporter talked to him yesterday):
Police say they were called to a suspected church burglary about 4 a.m. [Sunday] morning and officers saw a suspicious car leaving the area, near the 1700 block of Dayton Ave.
Two St. Paul Police followed in a marked squad and saw a passenger get out of the car and flee on foot. A St. Paul sergeant has told investigators that he believed the suspect was carrying a handgun, and the officer fired multiple times.
The suspect was hit at least once and taken to Regions Hospital, where police said he was in critical condition. "We're not going to elaborate on the injuries at this time," said police spokesman Paul Paulos.
An occupant of a nearby home was also injured. Police say a man reported being grazed by a bullet believed to have been fired during the incident. "We don't know whether it came from the suspect or the officer's handgun," Paulos said.
The person driving the car the suspect hopped out of left the scene, unapprehended. The officer involved in the shooting suffered a knee injury during the chase and was placed on standard three-day administrative leave.
During a visit from a Star Tribune reporter, another resident living near the intersection of Wheeler Street and Dayton Avenue pointed out about a half-dozen bullet holes in his garage that resulted from the Sunday-morning shooting. That resident, Brian Dalton, said the gunshots caused his two young children to wake up and start crying.
If it indeed is the case that police fired the shots that struck Charlie and his garage, "I would say possibly [officers] should have been more cautious," Dalton told the Strib.
Paulus, the St. Paul PD spokesman, told the Strib he "believes" the as-of-yet-unnamed suspect was found with a gun, but it's unclear whether he fired it at any point during the Sunday-morning incident.
Correcting info from Sunday events in officer-involved shooting: Officer originally responded to burglary at 1824 Marshall Av. Not a church.

We stayed here over night, good for a stop over. Mostly long term people here, sites were clean and everything worked, strong wifi which was free. Sites were not large but were adequate. Would stay here again. Easy to get to and close to fuel. - jimdl

Ok for a 1 night stay near the freeway. Looks like a lot of permanent trailers. The staff does marginal amount of anything. Pretty ugly overall. - dd2some

The good news is that it's easy to get to and our wifi worked very well. Level site with easy pull through. The bad news is that it's just plain filthy. Garbage cans are overflowing, the showers are gross, and the washing machine (there are 2 but 1 is out of order) apparently has never been wiped down. And it's $32 a night! Ridiculous. We didn't meet the owner,guess she doesn't work much. There are a few full time residents here and their sites are full of junk. It was a choice of here or the KOA, but I wish we had dry camped. - Susancarol31

We found this park to be conveniently located and very clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. The Chicken Shack provided us with a yummy quick dinner. The laundry facility was nice and quick. We saw no bird poop on the grounds as others have noted. We were there during off season so there weren't many people staying there. Liked that it was close to the visitors center. Our site was a bit close to the road so we did experience some road noise but we had a spectacular view of Butte Montana's city lights at night. Would definitely stay here again. - KellyLynnHoff
Sep 2015 - $43.00
Considering there isn't a whole lot of choices in Butte this is a nice, older campground with easy in and out for an overnight stay. We stayed 2 nights because we found plenty to do in the local area. It does fill up at night because it is big rig friendly. Good food at the attached Chicken Shack and the store in the KOA has lots of items including beer and wine. The owner is a good guy and helpful if you have questions. We were there when our neighbor had their bicycles stolen from the camp site. The police said to lock everything down as it has happened before. The city bike path is adjacent to the KOA and has been a route of ingress and egress for the bad guys. There is a rash of bicycle thefts in the area. My cheapo bikes were left alone. - cypressdrive
Sep 2015 - $45.00
At first, I liked this KOA with its long, level 60' gravel sites and wide enough roads. But then the park starting filling up. Now I'm sandwiched tightly between rigs with perhaps 10 feet from my slideout to my neighbor's. I don't understand why they park rigs next to each other when the park isn't full. The staff is friendly and we liked their fried chicken & pie sold on site. The staff points out local attractions when you check in. The park is conveniently located close to the freeway and to local trolley tours ($) via the Chamber of Commerce next door. Park wifi worked okay. There's no cable TV but satellite would work at most sites. There's a bike trail adjoining the park but economically depressed Butte does minimal upkeep so keep your expectations low. The KOA does not charge extra for pets as an earlier reviewer incorrectly noted, except in the cabins which is understandable. We also saw almost no bird poop as another reviewer noted, and we walked the grounds a lot. Both Verizon & ATT had good signals. All in all, this is an okay stopover and about par for a KOA. - Danno

An estimated 170 workers are based at the Vancouver site.

A few days ago I watched Pretty Woman for the first time since I was 11. I hated that movie when I was a kid. Mostly, I think, because it was a popular movie. I was not a kid who usually enjoyed things that were popular. Or, to put it bluntly; I was a snobbish kid. But I'm glad that I overcame my initial dislike of the movie and watched it again, because, you know, it's actually not a half bad movie.
I read Roger Ebert's review after watching it, and Ebert makes the point that for a movie about a man starting a relationship with a hooker, Pretty Woman is surprisingly innocent. I can see what he means, but I feel slightly different about it. For me, what's surprising about the movie is how naturally it seems to linger between "innocent" and "really kind of naughty". Which admittedly may have to do with how I remembered it from watching it as a kid. Here's how I remembered the story:
- Richard Gere is a rich guy who picks up Julia Roberts, who is a hooker in a terrible blond wig.
- Richard Gere is a noble sort of fella, so he doesn't want to sleep with Julia Roberts, he just pays her to hang out with him.
- They hang out and go to the opera to see La Traviata, which moves Julia Roberts to tears. They fall in love.
- Richard Gere lets it slip to George from Seinfeld that Julia Roberts is a hooker. George from Seinfeld attempts to buy sex from Julia Roberts who gets upset.
- But eventually she forgives Richard Gere.
- Something about a sort of staircase? And then a happy ending.
Which is mostly how it plays out, with the notable exception of item no. 2 because Richard Gere's character TOTALLY HAS SEX WITH JULIA ROBERTS' PROSTITUTE CHARACTER! And this is not even after he gets to know her and falls in love with her or anything. He has sex with her on the same night that he picked her up from a corner of Hollywood Boulevard. She's still wearing her awful Hooker Wig while they go at it and everything. So what we have on our hands is a mainstram movie in which the hero, played by one of Hollywood's favourite leading men (at the time), wittingly buys sex from a prostitute, and I find this to be infinitely more interesting than the Noble Guy Buys Hooker Free story that I thought I remembered from my childhood. Don't get me wrong, I don't approve of prostitution. I'm about as anti-prostitution as you can get. But I like it that the movie doesn't shy away from the prostitution angle. It's more honest that way. If you're going to make a movie about a guy picking up a hooker, you may as well go all the way. When men pick up a prostitute, it's usually with the intention of having sex with her, and it would be a travesty to claim something different for the sake of creating a noble movie hero.
"Man, this baby must corner like it's on rails!"
But the innocence that Ebert mentions is certainly there as well, I agree. It's especially present in the chemistry between Gere and Roberts, which is quite outstanding. And the cool thing is that it's not really a sexual chemistry. Of course an element of sex is there, but more than that there's a kind of buddy-buddy chemistry, and it's adorable and maybe ulitmately what makes the movie work. Gere and Roberts have a natural, friendly way of being with each other that makes them believable as a couple in spite of the unrealistic rich-dude-falls-for-hooker plot.
It's there right from the start when they are driving around in Edward's car. Sure, Vivian grabs Edward's crotch and announces that "[it's not quite stiff], but it's got potential" (which strikes me as such an early 90s movie sex joke, btw, in all its vulgarity. This was clearly the same era that brought us a full view of Sharon Stone's hoo-ha), but they also talk about cars and other a-sexual stuff, like the fact that your foot is as big as your arm from your elbow to your wrist. And the "jewelry box" scene where Edward solemnly present Vivian with an expensive necklace, only to jocularly snap the box lid down on her fingers is the epitome of this sweetly goofy and buddy-like atmosphere:
Imdb informs me that the finger-snap thing was a case of improvisation on Gere's part, and that Roberts' reaction is authentic. The fact that the scene works anyway goes to show how comfortable Gere and Roberts must have been with their respective roles.
"Stay. Stay the night with me. Not because I'm paying you, but because you want to."
As a natural result of the fact that Richard Gere's character TOTALLY HAS SEX WITH JULIA ROBERTS' PROSTITUTE CHARACTER, there's also the side plot of Vivan falling for someone who is essentially a customer. It's not too badly handled, I think. There's that whole thing about her not wanting to kiss on the mouth because it's too intimiate (which was recently referenced in the hilarious Humpday btw), and Vivian has a monologue about how she's basically "like a robot" during sex with customers, and later she tells him how she cried the whole way through her first sexual intercourse as a professional. Roberts does a decent job at depicting her journey from robot-like escort to actually being in love with Gere and wanting his touch instead of just accepting it. It's a truly sweet moment when she finally allows herself to kiss him. Edward, too, has obviously been longing for that kind of intimacy with Vivian.
Still, of course the issue is not depicted in a realistic manner. It's not supposed to. It's a fairy-tale, and the movie owns up to as much in this nice little piece of dialogue between Vivian and her prostitute friend Kitt:
Kitt: "Maybe you guys could, like, you know, get a house together, and like… buy some diamonds and a horse, I dunno… It could work. It happens."
Vivian: "When does it happen, Kitt? When does it really happen? Who does it really work for? (…) You give me one example of someone that we know who it worked out for."
Kitt: "You want me to name someone? You want me to, like, give you a name or something?"
Vivian: "Yeah. I'd like a name."
Kitt: "Oh God, the pressure of a name…"
Kitt: "Cinde-f*cking-rella!"
This also accounts for the happy ending where Edward mounts that staircase and wins Vivian's heart, which is very, very saccharine, but still not quite as bad as the ending of Dirty Dancing (which I loathe. And I do think that Dirty Dancing has its qualities. But that ending, ugh). And I'm actually okay with the use of La Traviata, although I find it strange that Edward chooses Violetta's second act goodbye as his staircase serenade instead of "Un di felice" which seems much more appropriate in the situation.
The soundtrack is pretty kewl all in all actually, in all its early 90s glory. Who can resist the melancholy pop wonder that is Roxette's "It Must Have Been Love" for instance? I certainly can't. I bawled like an infant when that one came on.


text: During her visit to the Regis & Kelly Show on December 14, Annie Lennox discussed surmounting her stage fright with her two hosts. Lennox asked, "why be nervous?" apparently in the rhetorical sense, though Regis magnanimously reaffirmed her confidence. After announcing that she'd conquered her fear of public blunders, the Scottish singer went on to hilariously prove her own point by messing up almost instantly. During a rendition of her new single "The Holly and the Ivy" her guitarist gingerly taps her shoulder reminding her to start singing, kicking off an embarrassing series of on-stage miscommunications before they finally just start over. A classic instance of speaking too soon and singing too late. Watch below.

Indexes of Economic Indicators: What Can They Tell Us about the New England Economy
Clayton-Matthews, Alan, Kodrzycki, Yolanda K., Swaine, Daniel, New England Economic Review
London: The University of Chicago Press.
Watson, Mark W. and Robert F. Engle. 1983. "Alternative Algorithms for the Estimation of Dynamic Factor, MIMIC, and Varying Coefficient Regression Models." Journal of Econometrics, vol. 23, August, pp. 385-400.
RELATED ARTICLE: Solving Unobservable Variable Time-Series Models
Dynamic factor analysis and the Kalman filter involve different algorithmic methods to estimate models that are intimately related.(14) As Engle and Watson (1981) and Watson and Engle (1983) point out, a wide spectrum of factor analysis models are special cases of the so-called state-space model, Each month, the Boston Federal Reserve publication New England Economic Indicators reaches about 6,000 subscribers. Many of these readers undoubtedly want to know: "How is the New England economy doing?" In response, Indicators offers a comprehensive compilation of timely data. Yet no one of these indicators can possibly provide an overall assessment of the New England economy. Nor can any other individual piece of information offered by other regional or state agencies.
This article explores the development of composite coincident indexes summarizing the condition of the economy of New England and its six states. While composite indexes have long been used to analyze the national economy, they may be needed even more for regions because of the lack of current comprehensive measures of state activity, as well as the frequent lack of clarity in indicators that are available. The article discusses two approaches to constructing composite indexes, the traditional averaging method used by the U.S. Department of Commerce and a latent variable method advanced by two academic researchers, James Stock and Mark Watson, and recently applied to states in a study conducted at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. A general model for deriving a coincident economic index is described, along with its relationship to the Stock-Watson and Philadelphia Fed research. The Philadelphia Fed specification is then applied to the New England states in order to measure how regional business cycles have compared with national cycles. In addition, an alternative composite coincident index is constructed for Massachusetts, using as inputs newly developed data based on state tax collections, which have the advantage of being quite timely and not subject to revisions (in contrast to more commonly used indicators).
I. Motivations
Composite indexes of U.S. economic indicators have a long history. Originally developed a half century ago by researchers at the National Bureau of Economic Research, a private organization, such indexes are now issued monthly by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The government's index of leading indicators gets widespread attention when it is released. Less noticed, but released just as frequently, are the index of coincident indicators, which measures the current state of the national economy, and the index of lagging indicators.
Composite indexes are attractive because of their simplicity and compactness. Interest in economic trends is widespread, but most people have neither the time nor the inclination to try to interpret each individual piece of economic data that becomes available. Furthermore, even for professional observers of the macroeconomy, individual indicators may be problematic. Any particular economic series may give an ambiguous signal, or it may contradict another piece of data.
National composite indexes (and individual indicators) may be misleading for regions because regional business cycles do not parallel national cycles exactly. For example, the strongest recoveries from the early 1980s recessions occurred on the East and West Coasts, and several interior states lost employment or showed virtually no gain in employment for several years after the national economy had picked up (Bradbury and Kodrzycki 1992). By contrast, in the upturn from the most recent national recession of 1990-91, it is widely acknowledged that the New England states and California were laggards. …

Title: 31' Ford Rat

That is a stunning piece of work!
Normally, I'm not a huge fan of modern large diameter alloy wheels on classic hot rods. BUT! This is art. Also, this is a rat rod. Individuality is one of the unifying features of the rat rod type.
Rat rod = someone tossed the rule book in the recycle bin.
Rat rod = someone tossed the rule book in the recycle bin.
Very true, I find that the large modern rims suite this Rat, and that they are black alloys make it even better. Chrome rims would have not looked that great - thanks for the look.
Nice piece...still don't know why the builder put billet and bands on it.
That's great artwork
That's some nice work!!
this one is fur sure an eye catcher man i love this. The work on the motor must have taken some time to do. sweet piece man
Thanks - infact it was the tyre and rim that took most of the time - near killed my hand !!!
Yeah i was also gonna add that the whole drawing is sweet! How did you get your colored pencils to come of so smooth. I can't seem to get rid of the rough texture it leaves behind ,aye it's the surface or paper? Not sure haha thought I'd ask
Yip, texture of the paper does contribute to the smoothness of the pencil, on some spare paper try using some tissue or paper napkin to lightly rub over the colour pencil on the paper ( to blend ). Also if you use the colour shaving bits (from sharpening your pencil) with a paper napkin you'll get the same results
Okay sweet! I'm using Canson Marker Paper at the time. Should I try one on just a regular sheet of printer paper? I well try out those tips on the next few drawings. Thanks man!
Cool - I'm looking forward to hear your results, below is a link to a tutorial I did which explains my colouring methods a bit more -
I've seen many photos of this rod and you sir have absolutely NAILED the LOOK, FEEL, and DETAILS!!! Bravo bro, bravo!!!
Thanks, the owner thought it was alright too
Great Rat design car.
This is one of the best rod drawing Ive ever seen. Maybe its number one . Maybe there can be more contrast, but its awesome like this. I have no words, massacre
Many thanks, hopefully future Rod projects will look good like this one
Looks crazy! I love it!
Always inspiring! One of my favorite pieces of yours, the detail and color are pure Simpson Artistry.
Woahhh very interesting work Warren^^ Nice work on this RatRod and indeed one of your best for this year Looking forward for the next projects man
Wonderful drawing. Fantastic attention to detail and an outstanding job! Thanks for sharing.
really cool! can´t wait to see more from you. your workout is done pretty professional and your styling is great.
i love it!
i love it!
Many thanks - got a few in the queue, just got to work out which to do next.
Wow, very impressive work warren! Really nice!
Amazing desigh and a great, realistic and detailed style. Great work, keep it up!
My eyes boggle at the detail...I thought this was a photograph! Love it *thumbs up*
Oh lord! :Q___________
It's awesome man
It's awesome man

AMD and Intel cannot afford to keep this pace forever, maybe it is time we pour more money in Moore Law or either give up and settle for slower advancements, maybe more focused on energy saving, quieter/fanless PC and so on.

The Williamstown Demons baseball season ended May 23 in the first round of the district tournament as they were defeated in five innings, 15-4 by Simon Kenton.
Williamstown finished their season with a record of 8-11. The Pioneers gained a huge advantage over the
Demons in the first inning alone scoring 12 runs.
Every player in Simon Kenton's lineup scored at least once before Williamstown had a chance to bat.
The deficit rattled Williamstown but lead-off hitter Corey Fryman found his way on base with a single to left field.
Maddie Dalzell has spent her whole life overcoming obstacles.
Living with a neurological disorder known as Strabismus means that her day to day life is full of dramatic discrepancy in her vision.
These obstacles would normally be a reasonable cause for one to not compete in sports, due to the lack of peripheral vision, depth perception and even double vision.
Not Maddie.
I confess: I am not trendy or radical. Never was. Probably never will be.
What I am is ordinary. Average. I would add normal, but the jury is still out on that.
Over the years, the Christian church in North America has gone through trends. From the Jesus Movement in the 1960s and 70s to the rise of megachurches in the 80s and 90s to the hipster craze with pastors in skinny jeans sipping lattes as they preach while sitting atop a lone, high stool on a bare stage — or in a craft brew pub.
Once again we enjoyed sweet potatoes all winter long from a fantastic harvest last fall.
I planted out about 25 organic slips purchased from Country Corner Greenhouse in Shepherdsville in late May and by early November we had four nursery crates full of one of nature's perfect foods! Seven months and counting in storage with no spoilage is impressive.
We are down to about a dozen sweet potatoes; just in time for a transition to other summer vegetables.
The Corinth City Commission is moving forward with adding surcharges to city sewer bills.
The Commission continued the discussion from the previous month during its May 9 meeting concerning the possible surcharge.
The original city sewer billing included the city paying for all pump station repairs plus the electric bills of all pump stations on the city lines.
Since 1995, rates have only been raised one time, according to city clerk Tara Wright, yet electric bills have risen within that timeframe.
Terry Conrad and Jane Blackburn Adams have known each other since they were little more than toddlers. They share a special bond of friendship and memories of a turbulent time in history.
When Conrad came home from war, he, like many Vietnam veterans of the time, was met with hostility.
He had survived the Tet Offensive, where both the U.S. and South Vietnamese militaries sustained heavy losses. In 1970, after enduring 14 months of war, he headed home.
Grant County senior tennis players Ronnie Kinman and Joey Saylor found success as they made it to the regional semifinals.
The special thing about this season was that it almost didn't happen.
"This was my first year playing, and Joey's second," Kinman said. "He was the only reason I even played this season."

Roommate charged in Lake Harmony shallow grave killing
LAKE HARMONY, Pa. (AP) — Police have charged a northeastern Pennsylvania man with killing his roommate and burying his body in a shallow grave.
Authorities say 28-year-old Michael Rhubart killed roommate Jubar Hughes with a shotgun and hid his body in a shallow grave off an ATV trail in the foothills of the Pocono Mountains.
Rhubart, of Effort, Monroe County, was arrested Wednesday night on charges including criminal homicide and aggravated assault. He's being held without bail.
Investigators say Rhubart and Hughes, previously of Newark, N.J., were roommates. Court documents allege Rhubart admitted killing Hughes.
Hughes' body was discovered Monday in an isolated area of Carbon County.
Court records don't list an attorney for Rhubart.

During our West African trip in 1991 we spent some days in Abidjan to arrange our visa.
Abidjan is a city of contrasts with low and high, traditional and modern buildings.
We stayed at a campsite east of the citycentre along the oceanroad.

Hi, Ali!~ Thanks for your story about Abidjan! >>>
I had to visit this page to see where most of the email scams arise. :) Through your interesting page, I found quite a different place to what I'd expected - and a great campsite!
You are right, what a contrast between the most modern buildings in Le Plateau and the small traditional houses. I did not expect such a big contrast ! Abidjan is now one of those places lost for visitors, at least for some time!
Sounds like an interesting place Ali! As most have said...campsite sounds fun! Happy travels, Blu
Your campsite sounds idealic with those views, Shame the beach there is not so great! Very interesting page Ali on such an off the beaten track place. (nice new Member pic! (~_~) )
Very nice page and photos, Ali The campsite at the ocean sounds like a lovely place to spend an evening.
Interesting divide between the old colonial Grand Bassam and Abidjan ... fascinating pages. Lovely shot of the cathedral windows.
Interesting architecture, both modern and old. But the best architecture is that tent with oceanview ---> I would love to be inside there :-)
Ali, a very interesting page with the contrast between the old colonial buildings in Grand Bassam and the amazing architectural wonders of Abidjan! Your Coppa Cabana campsite looks very inviting to me!!
All your pages are great, but your African are the best, and I missed them :-))) great place for meditation and vacation Alije :-))
