great localization and very nice apartment - which was fully equipped. We have some problems wit keys at our arrival, but they were solved in 15minuts! The only minus is for lack of blankets - there were only 2 for 3 separate bads. I believe it is not a problem during hot summer, but it was 14 Celsius degree when we were there.
The apartment is very centrally located, just a few meters from the metro station Place de la bastille. Although the address is on a main road, it is totally quiet, because the apartment is located in a romantic courtyard with cobblestones and Virginia creeper. Nearby you will find a variety of nice pubs and restaurants and bistro `s Always recommended during the Vietnamese restaurant "Paris Hanoi" is. The apartment itself is very spacious and styled. Even for 5 people sufficiently. We can recommend it in good conscience. Booking and processing are good and professional.
Die Wohnung liegt sehr zentral, nur wenige Meter von der Metrostation Place de la bastille entfernt. Obwohl die Adresse an einer Hauptstrasse liegt ist es total ruhig, denn die Wohnung liegt in einem romantischen Hinterhof mit Kopfsteinpflaster und wildem Wein. In unmittelbarer Nähe findet sich eine Vielzahl von netten Kneipen und Restaurants und Bistro`s. Empfehlenswert ist in jedem Fall das vietnamesische Restaurant "Paris Hanoi".
Die Wohnung selbst ist sehr geräumig und durchgestylt. Selbst für 5 Personen ausreichend.
Wir können sie guten Gewissens empfehlen. Buchung und Abwicklung sind gut und professionell.
The stay has given us very good. The study is central, but quiet. It is practical furnishings, clean, and everything worked well funktionniert. To find the key is well explained. We will gladly return.
Der Aufenthalt hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Studie ist zentral, aber trotzdem ruhig. Es ist zweckmässig eingerichtet, sauber, und alles hat gut funktionniert. Den Schlüssel zu finden ist gut erklärt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
The accomodation wasn't quite what the website said, the appartment wasn't as 'new' as promised. A lot of mildew in the shower, some light bulbs and TV out of order.
Good location instead.
Location of the apartment is excellent. Who good "walking", may reach of all the sights without Metro good. Despite some small flaws that can be fixed quickly, the apartment is highly recommended. No through road, so quiet. Nice restaurants, Metro and park (expensive) in the immediate vicinity. Also the key handover went smoothly and the service was very friendly.
Lage der Wohnung ist hervorragend. Wer gut "zu Fuß" ist, kann von hier aus alles Sehenswerte ohne Metro gut erreichen. Trotz kleiner Mängel, die schnell behoben werden können, ist die Wohnung sehr zu empfehlen. Keine Durchgangsstraße, daher ruhig. Nette Restaurants, Metro und Parkhaus (teuer) in unmittelbarer Nähe. Auch die Schlüsselübergabe ging problemlos und der Service war sehr freundlich.
The key pickup went smoothly. The location of the apartment is very nice, as there are many shops (bakery, grocery stores, etc.), restaurants and bars, and three metro stations nearby. Unfortunately, the apartment was very dirty and had severe signs of wear, gave it to the mold in the bathroom. It is also very dark, because there is only a patio door and no windows.
Die Schlüsselabholung verlief problemlos. Die Lage des Appartments ist sehr schön, da es viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (Bäcker, Lebensmittelläden etc.), Restaurants und Bars sowie drei Metro-Stationen in der Nähe gibt. Leider war das Appartment sehr schmutzig und hatte starke Abnutzungsspuren, zu dem gab es Schimmel im Bad. Außerdem ist es sehr dunkel, da es nur eine Terrassentür und keine Fenster gibt.
Positive was the proximity to the metro and the price. Some points were unfortunately not as described. The toilet is not separate and the device partially broken. Only one towel per person for 5 days and a bed sheet as a blanket. What bothered us most, however, was the lack of cleanliness. Everywhere dust and mold in the bathroom. The mattresses were a disgrace. The apartment is also extremely noisy.
Positiv war die Nähe zur Metro und der Preis. Einige Punkte waren leider nicht wie beschrieben. Das WC ist nicht separat und die Einrichtung teilweise kaputt. Nur ein Handtuch pro Person für 5 Tage und ein Bettlaken als Bettdecke. Was uns jedoch am meisten störte, war die fehlende Sauberkeit. Überall Staub und Schimmel im Bad. Die Matratzen waren eine Zumutung. Die Wohnung ist außerdem extrem hellhörig.
The apartment was clean and beautiful (as advertised). The landlord was very friendly and helpful.
Die Wohnung war sauber und schön (wie in der Beschreibung). Der Vermieter war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
overall the apartment is worth. is a 15-minute walk from the Louvre and has as many as 3 metro stations nearby. The keys have to be retrieved from a safe in an apartment 2 blocks away and then you must be returned before departure. the staircase leading to the loft is very steep. stove, cutlery and crockery, bathroom and floor were dirty. there was no hand soap, shampoo, shower gel and detergents for dishes and floor. the mop had an awful smell of dirt. for 4 days we found only 2 towels. 2 light bulbs, and support for the handset shower broken. the Regulation imposes an additional charge for cleaning if you are not willing to clean on departure.
nel complesso l'appartamento merita. è situato a 15 minuti a piedi dal louvre ed ha ben 3 fermate della metro nelle vicinanze. le chiavi devono essere recuperate da una cassetta di sicurezza in un appartamento lontano 2 isolati e poi vi devono essere riconsegnate prima della partenza.
la scala che porta al soppalco è molto ripida. piano cottura, posate e stoviglie, bagno e pavimento erano poco puliti. non c'erano sapone per le mani, shampoo, bagnoschiuma e detergenti per piatti e pavimento. il mocho aveva un pessimo odore di sporco. per 4 giorni abbiamo trovato solo 2 asciugamani. 2 lampadine fulminate e il supporto per la cornetta della doccia rotto. il regolamento impone una spesa aggiuntiva per le pulizie se non si è disposti a pulire alla partenza.
apartment very well located (street bars, Bastille, but very quietly to courtyard); comfortable bed. caveat: check-out at 10am ... good luck, revelers .. ^ ^
appartement très bien placé (rue des bars, Bastille, mais très calme car donnant sur cour intérieure); lit confortable.
bémol : check-out à 10h... bonne chance, les fêtards.. ^^

According to Comic Book Movie on Feb. 1, director Michael Bay of "Transformers: Age of Extinction", got on his Instagram account to announce a special "surpirse" during Super Bowl XLVIII. Chances are his misspelling of the word "surprise" for his posting may be due in part of the lingering after math of his meltdown on stage at the recent CES show. However, Bay isn't the only one in the world to suffer from some kind of performance anxiety and "Transformer" fans can look forward to something during the course of the sporting event.
This could either mean some extended footage of the film or perhaps a TV spot. One may wonder this could be the first look at the Dinobots. The only way to find out is on Super Bowl Sunday. One thing is for certain, that Grimlock will be at least one of the mechanized prehistoric creatures to debut in Bay's film and for those who didn't grow up in the 80s, Grimlock is a Transformer that transforms into a T-Rex and leads the Dinobots. The characteristics of the sentient robot is that of a speech impediment, great strength, and totally fearless.
"Transformers: Age of Extinction" is scheduled for release on June 27th, 2014.

College Hockey:Badgers Maul Gophers
Geoffrion Notches Two Goals as Wisconsin Extends Winning Streak Over Minnesota to Three
MADISON, Wis. — Senior tri-captain Blake Geoffrion was a first-hand witness to how a quick goal off the opening face-off can dramatically affect the final 59 minutes of a Wisconsin-Minnesota rivalry game.
After former Gopher Ryan Stoa scored six seconds into a game last October, killing the Kohl Centers momentum in a 5-2 Gopher romp, Geoffrion made sure it was Wisconsins turn to deliver the decisive
UWs leading scorer added to his total Friday, scoring the first of his two important goals just 24 seconds into the first period, pushing No.18 Wisconsin to a 4-2 victory over Minnesota in front of 12,508 fans.
I was even a little nervous before the game for some reason, Geoffrion said. I had little butterflies and I could see it in the room before the game. Its a big rivalry and to get that first goal, everyone relaxes a little bit.
Ironically, both goals for Geoffrion, his fourth and fifth of the year, were his two at even strength, but theres no denying the fact how important they were in the grand scheme of things for Wisconsin (4-2-1 overall, 2-2-1 in the WCHA).
His first tally occurred when he deflected a Ryan McDonagh slapshot that bounced past goalie Alex Kangas (28 saves) to begin the game, while his second — with UW up 2-1 — proved to be the game winner, as Geoffrion received a cross-ice pass between two defenders from
freshman Craig Smith and unleashed a shot from the left circle that couldnt be stopped by Kangas.
Smith — who missed both games last weekend after serving a two game suspension for a reckless checking from behind penalty against Minnesota State — was elevated to the top line for the first time after replacing a struggling Patrick Johnson.
The results were two assists and gushing smiles from the Nashville Predators, as the NHL franchise own the draft rights to both young forwards.
Coming back and playing with two seniors (Geoffrion and Andy Bohmbach) was a lot of fun, Smith said. (They) are great players to play with.
Minnesotas struggling offense wasnt given much favors. With the Gophers (2-4-1, 2-4-1) attempting 30 or fewer shots four times this season, Minnesota managed to get only 18 shots on junior goalie Brett Bennett (16 saves) while UW was credited with 30 blocked shots, a season high.
Coach Osiecki made a living doing that in the college and pro level, UW coach Mike Eaves said of Mark Osiecki. He demands that out of them. Derek Stepan blocked a shot late in the game with his facemask. Put a big old dent in it. When he came back to the bench, the guys
were patting him on the back because they know its an important part of the game.
Wisconsin did have its chances to put the Gophers in an even deeper hole in the first period up 1-0, but Smith misfired high on a breakaway attempt and center Derek Stepan couldnt successfully knock the puck out of mid-air into a wide-open net on a UW power play.
Those missed chanced looked like it was going to cost UW, especially after a turnover led to Minnesotas tying goal early in the second period.
After UW forward Jordy Murray made the wrong decision in playing the puck instead of backchecking, causing a 3-on-1 attack for Minnesota, center Jordan Schroeder skated up the right boards, drew Bennett over before passing to Mike Hoeffel, who had an easy tap in on
a wide open net to tie the score at 1:31.
As quickly as Minnesota had momentum off the turnover, the Gophers gave it all back 43 seconds later. With the puck deep in the Minnesota zone, center Patrick White bobbled the puck, allowing Cody Goloubef to scoop it up and backhand the puck on Kangas glove side.
I was just trying to keep the puck in and I got a lucky stick in, Goloubef said. I was fortunate that it squeaked through. It really brought the energy back in the building. The fans didnt have much time to get down.
Wisconsin was on cruise control until Minnesota broke through on the power play at 8:47 in the third.
Coming into the series 1-for-29 on the man advantage, a shot from the right circle by captain Tony Lucia was deflected in front of the net, where White was credited for knocking in the rebound with five seconds left on the power play.
But just like the response after the Gophers first goal, the Badgers had an answer, as senior tri-captain Ben Street flicked in a perfect pass from senior right winger Michael Davies past Kangas with 1:52 remaining left to stop any hope of a comeback.
We didnt have our legs tonight as much as weve had in the past, Geoffrion said. The third period is always Wisconsins third period. I think that was a big one for us because it made it more relaxed.
The Gophers now find themselves in a precarious situation. Already forced to play the rest of the season without senior forward Jay Barriball, who will have season-ending surgery to repair a knee injury suffered in practice on Tuesday, Minnesota must find a way to drum up some momentum, or risk being swept on the road by its border rivals for the first time since 1999.
We didnt get much of an offensive forecheck and didnt get to run some of our offense, junior Mike Hoeffel said. It really didnt help the cause to get any goals going. The just played smarter with the puck and made good decisions.

Valverde trade looking very good... so far.
It's hard to find much wrong with the Diamondbacks right now, when everything is coming up roses. The bats are hot, the starting pitching is exceptional, and that bullpen is earning every cent (even Brandon Lyon managed to face the minimum in his most recent save).
So let's talk about what could have been. There were mixed reviews of the trade that sent Jose Valverde to the Astros in exchange or Chris Burke and Chad Qualls. After all, Valverde led the majors in saves last season (47), and finished 8th in the NL Cy Young voting. But what if he were still here?
Valverde has pitched a total of 4 innings for Houston, giving up at least one run in every game he 's pitched. His ERA is 11.25, he has walked 2, and only struck out 3. He has one save recorded, and one blown save (although in a bizarre twist of fate, the offense picked him up and he "earned" the win in that game).
Instead we have Lyon, who is at least doing a little better. We also now have Chris Burke, who made the 25-man roster and has done an adequate job of filling in around the infield. Lastly, we have Chad Qualls, who is currently the stud of the bullpen. In 5.1 innings of relief, Qualls has 5 strikeouts, an ERA of 0.00, and a save. He has walked four batters, but managed to work around them.
It's still way too early for a final judgment, but so far, shipping Papa Grande off to Houston looks pretty good.

College Hockey:Connecticut Upsets RIT
Bartus Stops 30
STORRS, Conn. — A pair of unlikely contributors on the Connecticut offense helped bring RIT's 13-game unbeaten streak in Atlantic Hockey play to an end Saturday night at Mark Edward Freitas Ice Forum.
Freshman Tom Janosz and sophomore Josh Bernard each scored their first collegiate goals and freshman Garrett Bartus turned away 30 shots to earn his first collegiate win in the Huskies' 2-1 win over the Tigers.
"I wasn't sure how we were going to respond tonight after last night" said UConn coach Bruce Marshall. "But I thought we came out and played pretty consistent and battled for 60 minutes, which is what we have to do. We did a better job of getting the puck in the net and creating scoring opportunities for ourselves."
The win was the first for Connecticut (3-16-3, 2-11-3 AHA) since they beat American International 4-1 on November 7. It was RIT's (12-8-2, 12-2-1) first conference loss since a 3-2 overtime defeat at Air Force on October 24.
Connecticut jumped ahead at 4:17. Daniel Naurato pushed the puck up the right wing before finding wide open Tom Janosz in the slot. RIT goalie Shane Madolora appeared to keep his eyes on Naurato, enabling Janosz to notch his first collegiate goal.
Tigers' defender Alan Mazur was whistled for interference at 6:15, giving the Huskies an early power play and a chance to add to the lead. However, they were unable to do so, and averted a potential short-handed breakaway when RIT's Brent Alexin ran into a Huskies' defender after stealing the puck near center ice. Alexin's stick smashed, allowing the Huskies to regain control of the puck.
The Tigers and the Huskies each failed to convert on a pair of power play chances as Connecticut ended the opening period with a 1-0 lead.
UConn's Chris Waterstradt was sent to the box for hooking at 7:13 of the second and the large contingent of RIT fans perched over the Huskies' zone started to come alive, as the Tigers went on a power play. Tigers' defensive pair Dan Ringwald and Chris Tanev cycled the puck around the perimeter before Ringwald unleashed a blast from the point that Bartus was in position to save.
Connecticut successfully killed the penalty and pushed the lead to two at 10:36. Once again, Naurato streaked up the right wing before passing the puck to the left slot, where Bernard was there to give UConn a 2-0 lead.
"It was awesome," Bartus said of his first collegiate win. "I thought this is one of the better games we've played since I've been here. Everyone is contributing; it makes my job easier."
RIT continued to have solid scoring chances, but simply couldn't convert.
In the waning minutes of the second, Bartus went diving to his right to make a save. The puck rebounded off his pad to the exposed left post, but no Tigers' skater was in position to put it home. After a tripping call against Michael Coppola, the Tigers went on a power play for the final 1:33 of the second. With 55 seconds left in the period, Stevan Matic launched a shot from the point that trickled off Bartus' pad and floated harmlessly past the back of the exposed net.
Finally, at 10:51 in the third, RIT was able to break through on one of its chances. Just 41 seconds into RIT's sixth power play of the game, Mazur pulled the Tigers to within one, but it wasn't enough, as Connecticut held off a late RIT power play in the closing minutes. The Tigers pulled Madolora, but the Tigers' shots either went wide or dinged off the post of the empty net in a frantic ending to the third period.
"We hit a couple of posts with an empty net; we can't make it easy on ourselves," Marshall said.
Connecticut's win came without assistant captain Jason Krispel, the team's fourth leading scorer, who Marshall said hurt his ankle in the series opener Friday.
"They capitalized on the opportunities that they needed to win," said Tigers' coach Wayne Wilson, whose team began its impressive run with a 6-2 win over UConn on October 30. "They have the ability to frustrate you, and they have the goaltender to shut you down. We had some opportunities; we just didn't have any puck luck, but to their credit they packed it in and did a good job defensively."

A veteran New York City bus driver was killed and four others were injured Wednesday morning after a stolen box truck collided with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus in Manhattan's West Village, authorities said.
The Feb. 12 crash occurred around 5:30 a.m. at the intersection of Seventh Avenue and West 14th Street after the southbound-traveling stolen truck slammed into the crosstown M14D bus that was heading east.
The collision's impact threw the bus driver, William Pena, 49, of Hillside, NJ, from the driver's seat and sent him flying underneath the vehicle where he succumbed to life-threatening injuries, officials said.
Craig Ydolly, a 41-year-old newspaper vendor from Midtown, witnessed the accident while he was walking to a doughnut store before his shift early Wednesday.
"I heard like a boom, like when a plow hits the ground," he said. "I heard the scaffolding fall and I saw someone on the floor."
Ydolly said he could hear one of the victim's painful cries as the man lay trapped under debris. "He was like 'uhhhh,' Ydolly said, while reenacting the man's pleas for help. "It looked like a movie in slow motion."
A police source said investigators believe the box truck was left idling and stolen a few blocks from the crash site. Police officers initially received a call for a possible burglary in progress, but were flagged down by a truck driver when they arrived to an address on West 16th Street, the source said. As the officers were canvassing the area, they "came upon the accident and found it the way you see it now," the source added.
The suspect – who police sources identified as Dominic Whibly, 22, of Griffin, Ga. – was found unconscious behind the wheel of the truck after the fatal crash. He regained consciousness on the way to the hospital and was under arrest and listed in stable condition late Wednesday.
A law enforcement source said investigators were probing Wednesday afternoon whether the same suspect was responsible for the attempted burglaries – the initial call that police were responding to – after neighborhood residents reported a man skulking around and pushing on door handles.
Police said charges against the suspect were pending late Wednesday. There was no word on when he was scheduled to face a judge for arraignments.
Union leaders were left mourning their friend and colleague, who they described as a 17-year transit veteran, "a real family man," and a father and husband who leaves behind a wife and teenage daughter.
"He died in the line of duty," said Earl Phillips, the Secretary-Treasurer of TWU Local 100, the union that represents bus operators. "It's hard, he's one of our brothers."
Other union officials and those who worked close to Pena said they are left mourning a great friend. "A lot of tears are being shed," said Richard Davis, the union chair in Pena's division. "It's such a terrible tragedy. Everyone around here is in a deep depression."
Union officials said funeral arrangements were still being made late Wednesday.

We've been eagerly awaiting more news regarding the second episode of "Burial at Sea", BioShock Infinite's story-based DLC, since the first chapter was released last November. The first episode had players once again taking on the role of Booker DeWitt, as he and Elizabeth explored the underwater city of Rapture. Irrational Games released a behind the scenes video yesterday, where it was revealed that the upcoming chapter will offer fans closure like never before.
The main feature of the second episode is the perspective change, as players will now be controlling Elizabeth as she makes her way through the Ayn Rand-inspired city. It is still unknown what her abilities will be, and how this may affect the gameplay. We do know that Courtnee Draper and Troy Baker are reprising their roles for what appears to be the last bit of DLC for Infinite.
A number of other voice actors are also returning, including the original BioShock's Armin Shimerman and Karl Hanover, who played Andrew Ryan and Atlas respectively. Kimberly Brooks, who played Daisy Fitzroy in Infinite, is also slated to return. We don't know what role these characters will serve in "Burial at Sea", but we may be right in assuming that this will not only offer closure for BioShock Infinite, but for the series itself.
BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea is set to release on March 25th.

When the Mercer Bears knocked off the Duke Blue Devils on March 21, it was just one of many huge upsets over the last two days as the March Madness college basketball tournament kicked off in strong style. The Round of 64 saw a number of big upsets that sent home some powerhouse teams and allowed some smaller name teams to move on to the Round of 32.
Teams like the Cincinnati Bearcats, Ohio State Buckeyes and VCU Rams all joined Duke to head home early while teams like the North Dakota State Bison, Harvard Crimson and Dayton Fliers joined Mercer in living to fight another day. The next two days of college basketball action will see if any of these teams live on to move to the Sweet 16 and a chance to be the next Cinderella.
March Madness is underway and the madness of the first upsets of the tournament are sending shockwaves through college basketball. Here is a look at the five biggest upsets of the Round of 64.
Mercer beat Duke
The biggest upset of the March Madness college basketball tournament so far saw 14-seed Mecer Bears beat the third ranked Duke Blue Devils. This was Mercer's first tournament appearance since 1985 and they beat Duke by a solid seven points to move on to the Round of 32. Next up for Mercer is 11-seed Tennessee on Sunday.
Dayton beat Ohio State
11th seeded Dayton knocked off the six-seed Ohio State Buckeyes thanks to a Vee Sanford layup as time ticked down. It was a big win in the last seconds of the game as Dayton beat their in-state "big brothers" to prove that the little guys can still win when the chips are on the line. Dayton next heads into Saturday to take on the third seeded Syracuse Orange.
Harvard beat Cincinnati
Cincinnati just couldn't put anything together and came out very flat against a determined Harvard squad. The four point win made Harvard the first Ivy League school since 1984 to win a game in back-to-back March Madness appearances. Next up for Harvard is a meeting on Saturday with a Michigan State team that President Obama picked to win it all.
North Dakota State beat Oklahoma
All season long, the Oklahoma Sooners had one of the best offenses in college basketball and one of the worst defenses in the nation. Those both played into their loss to No. 12 seed North Dakota State. OU scored 75 points but lost in overtime to a tenacious Bison, who put up 80 points and hope to continue their winning ways against San Diego State on Saturday.
SF Austin beat VCU
The final big upset came when Stephen F. Austin beat Virginia Commonwealth, 77-75, in overtime. VCU, a team that was in the Final Four three years ago and are always a threat could not beat the 12 seed SF Austin in this year's March Madness tournament. The Lumberjacks now head into a big meeting on Sunday with four seed UCLA in their hopes of being this year's Cinderella team.

It's parade time: Ohio Treasurer Kevin Boyce, a Democrat seeking election in November, will walk in the Fourth of July Parade in Austintown on Sunday. The parade begins at 2 p.m.
As regular readers of my column know, this is my favorite local political event of the year.
Hopefully, politicians know their chances of winning heavily relies on their choice of parade candy. You're going to get a lot more votes with Sweet Tarts, Now and Laters, Starbursts and Tootsie Rolls than you do with butterscotch and blue mints.
Right on target: The political action committee of Sarah Palin, everyone's favorite ex-Alaska governor/failed Republican vice presidential candidate, has given $3,500 to the campaign of Bill Johnson of Poland, the Republican nominee for the 6th Congressional District seat.
Johnson's campaign e-mailed his supporters touting the contribution and asked others to donate. Palin is targeting — using gun sights on a map — 20 House seat currently held by Democrats who voted for health care reform and represent districts won in 2008 by U.S. Sen. John McCain and her.
In public, it's been all smiles between the current Youngstown City Council, seated in January 2008, and the Mayor Jay Williams' administration.
But lately, including twice earlier this week, council members have replaced the smiles with sharp criticism of the administration.
It's not unusual for friction to exist between members of the legislative and executive branches of government.
Years ago, with different mayors and different council members, disagreements and loud arguments in Youngstown were common.
Williams has shown great diplomacy with city council members since he took office in January 2006. His proposals are almost always embraced and approved by council.
Council let the administration handle delicate negotiations that led to V&M Star's decision to build a $650 million expansion here.
"We give the administration the freedom to do what they think is best," said Councilman DeMaine Kitchen, D-2nd.
There have only been a handful of times that complaints were aired in public.
That is until recently.
Members of council — particularly Kitchen, and Jamael Tito Brown, D-3rd — complained this week about being ignored by the administration on some key issues.
"The frustration is so strong," Brown said.
Williams tried to smooth things by saying he understands the frustration, but council isn't being ignored by the administration.
Kitchen quickly disagreed with the mayor.
Council members complained that their requests for demolitions are being ignored.
That issue came a day after members of council criticized Finance Director David Bozanich for recommending that the city buy the dilapidated former Paramount Theatre downtown and for failing to tell them about a side-deal with that property's owner.
Bozanich fired back saying if council had approved his recommendation last year to lay off 60 city workers, there would be $2 million for commercial demolition projects.
It was uncharacteristic for Bozanich, who rarely loses his cool with council at public meetings.
The situation has escalated to the point that Kitchen said: "We may stop authorizing the administration for work it wants done."
What's causing the dissent?
Some in the administration say council members, who will seek re-election next year, are trying to show their constituents that they're in control.
It could also be posturing to replace Williams, who can't run for re-election in three years because of the city's term-limits law.
Council members say the complaints come after being repeatedly ignored by the administration. They say council won't be considered a rubber stamp for what the administration wants.
It will be interesting to see if these flare-ups are isolated or a sign of more friction between council and the administration.
Are you telling us that some members of this council think they should be mayor?
Now that's funny!
You guys should stop complaining cuz one the health care we have now isnt as good as it was supposed to be. also the law has just been signed give it a try u guys are too hard on democrats they went to college and we voted for most of these people.so if u want to say u have the right to choose tell that to ur congress men or state official. as for obama people are just tryin to make it look like america made a mistake he has done things to help us and we had a full 8 years of a terrible president and i will be so as happy as ever when a obama fixes bush's mistakes. You can find full medical coverage at the lowest price from http://bit.ly/9sfoMb obama has to put up with the wo0rld judging his every move and trying to fix the mess we are in we are lucky anyone wants to be our president. STOP COMPLAINING AND GIVE HIM A BREAK. i wanna see one of yall do what he sas done. some people are just so ignorant.
Dave's talking about the mayor and council, not the president and congress, so this has nothing to do with health care. Quit preaching an agenda you know nothing about. I'm sure people would give him a break if the country wasn't in such terrible shape.
Disagreements are common. Still, is losing your 'cool' and threatening to withold authorization for needed work the way to solve problems and promote good government? Maybe we need to elect some adults to city council who will act like grownups. Or maybe some sessions on conflict resolution and communication skills.
Jay's done a good job. Leave the guy alone. Youngstown never got anything done before him. The city was an eyesore with no hope, no business infrastructure and delapidated sections of the city no one wanted to go in. The city does need nore police and that new(er) jail needs to be opened back up.

Guests' Names
The guests' names are written in the top left corner, except for formal luncheon and dinner invitations designed to include them in the middle of the card.
No prefixes, such as 'the Right Hon' or 'the Hon', are employed.
No letters after the name are included.
All peers and peeresses, apart from dukes and duchesses who are referred to by these titles, are given the form Lord and Lady Blank. This is the established custom for all but the most important private functions, when the exact rank in the peerage may be given.
Grown-up sons and daughters are usually sent separate invitations even when they live at home. However, when their exact names, or their availability, are not known, it is permissible to add 'and Family' after their parents' names.
The addition 'and Guest' or 'and Partner' may be added.
Note that, traditionally, invitations to a married couple, when sent to their home address, are addressed to the wife alone, with both names being inscribed on the invitation card. It has become increasingly acceptable, however, to address the envelope with both names.

Thanks for posting the vid. It was a huge help. I had taken my laptop to 3 different tech shops and all told me I needed a new motherboard. I used your vid to take apart my laptop and used the tips in your comments to folks and now I have my trusty steed back up and running. Thank you so much!? You saved me a ton of money. You rock!
MustachioFurioso91 (1263 days)
I want to know if the cpu on this laptop is replaceable or if it is built into the mobo? If you can give me an? answer without me having to tear mine down, it would be much appreciated. All i can find online is about the next model (nv53) and they say its socket s1…not sure if this also applies to this series laptop.

I have a Gateway NV53 that was overheating on me when I would play games.
I followed this video & completely took apart my NV53, cleaned it & also, applied Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound replacing? the stock thermal compound on it & now it does not overheat.
A drop from 90c-95c playing games to 80c-85c while playing games.

HI Midnightmodder,thank you for the video it really help .. Just one question … at 4:41 in the video … you disconnect the screen and detach wires there but there are also a black wire with? 2 claw type connections and a blue and white wire with the same connections … what do they attach to when putting it back together???? I changed the power connection on the mother board after everyone else told me it was too difficult … Your video made it possible.
The music is really cool too …

MM, and thanks for this video, I got a screwed power cable and already let some monkeys play with it.. Gateway service here in Tianjin China.. You know what they did.. First told me it's a motherboard.. Replaced it.. There about a week later, the same thing.. Almost? throw it to them.. This anyway they fixed for about 2 months by soldering some new thing wires to the start button.. Now they have snapped.. But thanks to your video.. I am going to replace the cable myself.. Good job…
midnightmodder (1263 days)
After removing heat sink go ahead and pick up some copper from the hobby store. Cut it down to the size of the heat? sinks copper size. I placed artic silver 5 on both sides of the copper. Screw heat sink back down. Download core temps and run it before performing the job so you can make sure your temps go down. with cutting the square out and installing a shim mine drop 20 degrees. Perform it at your own risk! lol

I reassembled everything and my track pad quit on me. everything booted fine and was in working condition, except that my track pad stopped working completely. I was wondering if you knew the reason for this and had a possible fix for me.

Floriade, the Olympics of Horticulture, in Amsterdam!
Amsterdam is all about gezellig and the constant pursuit of gezellig-ness. A gezellig environment is one which allows good times to happen. In youth-speak, it's almost like a vibe.
A relaxing dinner with friends is gezellig, fast-food in your car, while waiting in traffic, is not. Perhaps that's why this Dutch city gets under your skin and refuses to budge. Yet, Amsterdam is ever-evolving. Here's a brief look at what's happening now.
Flocking to Floriade
Just outside Amsterdam, near Schiphol airport, millions are flocking to Floriade. Floriade has been called the Olympics of horticulture and for a good reason. The event requires such in-depth planning it only happens once every ten years. They have a greenhouse the size of four soccer fields, and oodles of flowers--it's definitely gezellig.
You need not be a serious posy person to take pleasure from Floriade. National and international exhibitors working side-by-side, have created more than 300 exceptional displays.
No warring factions here; everyone gets along just fine, whether they're from Russia, China, Kenya or wherever.
The bright yellow of The Roof, the largest solar array of its kind in the world, can be seen from miles around. Special bus transportation has been arranged for the exhibition, which opened in April. Allow at least three hours for Floriade and wear your walking shoes. Food is available on site. Check out www.floriade.com.
Boom Chicago
Boom Chicago continues to keep 'em rolling in the aisles, nine years running. Their newest show, "Europe: We've Created A Monster" is a funny and technologically dazzling exploration of what it means to be European.
Using live cameras, video, internet and other high tech gadgets, this is the show that's been invited to perform at Pleasance One, the most prestigious venue at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August. Boom Chicago performs six nights a week and Europe: We've Created A Monster is performed every Wednesday and Thursday at 8:15 and Saturday at 7:30 and 10:45. Dinner is available and highly recommended, (but not required), before the show. Book in advance, because they are often sold out.
Pumpkin Theatre
At the new Amsterdam Miracle, you can witness the history of this city in under an hour; a crash course you might say. The audiovisual presentation can be experienced at the Pompoen (pumpkin) Theatre seven days a week.
Those who have seen both, claim Miracle is a much better "attraction" movie than Holland Experience 3D. It's in English and you'll learn something while being agreeably entertained. The computer generated effects give depth and substance to the historical photos, which all ages will appreciate. The Pompoen theatre is located at Spuistraat 2, just a five minute walk from Central Station. In addition, they have live jazz in their cafe, after night falls.
Coffee shops in Amsterdam used to be dark and foreboding places where you wouldn't want to bring a date. But you don't have to smoke pot with shady characters of the underworld anymore. Recently a number of bright and airy coffee shops have opened with friendly staffs, pool tables and unique tunes.
Rookies Cannabis Cafe
One such place is Rookies Cannabis Cafe, a coffee shop and hotel just off the Leidse-plein. Outside they've got tables so you can watch the passing pageant of map-touting tourists, while you smoke. Inside there's a pool table and a liquor license. If rolling joints is too European for you, they'll even let you borrow a pipe from the bar. Open weekdays from 10:00 am to 1:00 am and Friday and Saturday 10:00 am to 3:00 am.

How to Make Money Doing What You Love: Traveling
Renowned travel writer Tim Leffel puts the glitz and glamour of travel journalism aside in his new book, Travel Writing 2.0: Earning Money From Your Travels in The New Media Landscape, to tell the facts when it comes to turning this love interest into a career. Leffel gives the reader the "how-to" within every travel media outlet now available in our technological age.
Leffel describes his intentions of his work. "In putting together the Travel Writing 2.0 book, my aim was to give aspiring travel writers the real story: from me, from 52 other working writers, and from a batch of editors and publishers. Not what used to work, not what has worked for one lucky person out of 1,000, but rather what knowledge and attributes a writer needs to actually make real money doing this.
This is a guide to the here and now, with solid and practical advice on succeeding in a changing media landscape."
So if you desire to be a travel writer for a magazine, a newspaper, web magazine, or write your own guidebook, Leffel tells you how to make your dreams come true and bring home some extra bacon for the family.
Below is an excerpt from Tim Leffel's Writing 2.0: Earning Money From Your Travels in The New Media Landscape, in which Leffel discusses blogging and its money making potential:
Blogging for Yourself:
"Start a blog and write what you want."
That advice has turned many a head and pulled in many subscribers for "how to make money on the internet" types.
And why not? It's as enticing as fat-free frozen yogurt or the promise of speed-reading. No query letters, no editors to please, no editorial calendar to fit into, and no style restraints that will hold you back. What freedom!
Remember that the root word of freedom is "free" though. That's what you'll be working for day after day, week after week, for six months to a year until your shiny new blog gets some traction -- if it ever does. Instead of putting together articles for a set fee, you are putting together articles that will hopefully "be monetized" someday through advertising or other means. Your pain, your gain -- if it works. Unless you have good traffic and a following, however, those ad earnings will be next to nothing.
For many, that's okay. They are blogging to promote themselves or their expertise, not as a money maker. It's their mouthpiece to sell consulting, sell books, or get noticed by the media. If you're doing this as an income generator though, be prepared for a long slog.
Like many bloggers in the early days, I started Cheapest Destinations blog without even thinking about whether it could ever make money. I just set it up to promote my book and to give journalists a taste of what I had to say. It was purely a promotional vehicle and place for me to float out ideas for articles. Then Google Adsense and easy affiliate ad programs came along and I stuck some ad code on my blog.
Just like that, from then on when I sat in a Wi-Fi bar and wrote a blog entry, I could rationalize that the blog was paying my bar tab. Sweet!
Eventually it started making enough to pay my mortgage and I was shocked. Who knew? But this "instant success" was years in the making: the blog already had a big following by the time I started monetizing it.
Blogging can be a rewarding a path, but take the time to think through these following key questions before you launch. Once you can answer all of them clearly and with vision, you're definitely onto something.
1. What can I cover better or more thoroughly than anyone else?
2. What niche am I passionate enough about that I can write hundreds of different short articles about it for years on end?
3. What can I write about for 6-12 months that won't require going into the hole financially?
4. Do I want to be known as the expert on this subject or destination? Can I credibly become a media resource?
5. Am I willing to stick with this subject or slant for years on end in order to enjoy the payoff? Or am I willing to hire and pay other writers once it gets going?
6. Can I explain what my blog is about in an "elevator pitch" of a few sentences?
7. Could this subject area lead to other revenue sources in terms of articles, books, speaking engagements, or tours?
8. Is it something that would eventually generate advertising interest and text ad click-through from readers?

Andrew Cuomo Thinks Chris Christie Is Only As Fat As the Rest of America
The New York governor defends his New Jersey counterpart, sort of.
What's a victory lap without some speculation about the next race? New York Governor Andrew Cuomo gets the Gentleman's Quarterly Q&A treatment in the magazine's January issue and, besides a startling "Conan the Barbarian" Photoshop job, it's pretty boilerplate stuff about the man's great 2011: marriage equality, middle-class tax breaks, working across the aisle, and all that. But then there's the presidential speculation for 2016, and an attempt to stoke Cuomo's semi-rivalry with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a premature media narrative that we could very well be hearing about for the next four years:
So Cuomo versus Christie in '16?
Andrew Cuomo: [He ignores that.] I have a good working relationship with him. I want a good working relationship with him. We do a lot together.
GQ: So you work with him, talk to him—
Andrew Cuomo: For me to do my job well, I have to. I'm sure we'll have our differences, but the trick is to have a good enough relationship that you can handle the difference, right?
The GQ interviewer, Lisa DePaulo, also calls Christie "the big guy across the river," segueing perfectly into a discussion of weight. DePaulo interjects:
The governor's brother, ABC newsman Chris Cuomo, will later tell me that Andrew berated him about the media's obsession with Christie's weight. "SO WHAT?" Andrew thundered. "Why don't you tell your friends in the New York media to get the hell out of New York and go into the rest of the country, go upstate, move around where everybody's not spending sixteen hours a day in the gym, and take a look at what people look like — people with real lives and jobs."
Cuomo is sort of slamming East Coast elitism, but it's also a backhanded defense of Christie — basically, Cuomo's calling everyone fat. Food Network girlfriends are hard to come by.

Which Baby Names Are Banned in Portugal?
|January 14, 2011
Wondering which baby names are illegal in Portugal? (Sure you are!) The Portuguese government maintains an 80-page list of baby names–a mix of the permitted and the forbidden. Here are some of the names (and weirdly specific name combinations) Portuguese parents are not allowed to give their babies:
- Aidan
- Albuquerque
- Allan Brett
- Anouchka
- Antoinette
- Argo Demetrius
- Ashanti
- Ashley
- Babilónia
- Ben-Hur
- Brunei
- Bruce
- Bryan
- Charlotte
- Cheyenne
- Claret
- Claude
- Coltrane (jazz musician)
- Brilhante (Portuguese for brilliant)
- Britta Nórdica
- Chianda Kady
- Dmitri, Dmitriy, Dmitro
- Do Sorriso
- Douglas
- Dylan
- Farley
- Faruk
- Fraternidade
- Giana Lai
- Heidi
- Hendrix
- Imperatriz
- Ivanhoe (19th-century novel)
- Jaiantcumar
- Jenny
- Jimmy
- Jivago (form of Zhivago)
- Kathleen
- Kennedy
- Leeyang
- Loïc
- Logan
- Mabel
- Magnifica
- Mar e Sol (Portuguese for sea and sun)
- Marx
- Mary Ann
- Melbournia
- Nazareth Fernandes
- Nirvana
- Olaf
- Pablo
- Piombina (Italian town Piombino)
- Portugal
- Rihanna
- Rosa Luxemburgo
- Samora Machel
- Sandokan (fictional pirate Sandokan)
- Satélite
- Sayonara (Japanese for goodbye)
- Tamagnini (Italian surname)
- Trebaruna (Lusitanian deity)
- Vasconcelos (Portuguese surname)
- Viking
- Virtuosa
- Viterbo (Italian town)
- Zingara (Italian for gypsy)
Some are foreign names/words, some are locations, some refer to pop culture, and so forth.
Many of the no-no names are simply in the wrong form (according to the government). For instance, parents can use…
- Aarão, but not Aaron
- Agata, but not Agatha
- Baltasar, but not Baltazar
- Daisi, but not Daisy
- Dulce do Amparo, but not Dulce Amparo
- Kévim, but not Kevin
- Hervé, but not Hervê or Herve (reminds me of the Zöé controversy)
- Maria de Lurdes, but not Maria de Lourdes
- Martina, but not Martine
- Mónica, but not Monique
- Nuno, or Nuno de Santa Maria, or Nuno do Carmo (Carmelite), but not Nuno Álvares.

25 Responses to Which Baby Names Are Banned in Portugal?
Are there exceptions possible? For example, I know in other countries foreign parents can choose names on the banned list if they can prove the name is from their country of origin- is this allowed in Portugal?
I'm from Portugal and I know that until the second half of the 20th century, only Biblical/Christian names were allowed which is why so many women were named Maria followed by some other name. Maria became almost a prefix. For example, a Maria Elisa would actually be known as Elisa and not as Maria, almost as if Maria wasn't also her name or more like a "Miss." Any "foreign" or foreign-sounding names were forbidden. I have a friend who was born in France to Portuguese parents and named Sandrine. When the family moved back to Portugal and wanted the child to have Portuguese citizenship the name had to be changed to "Sandrina." In the last 3 decades this has changed (almost inevitably, as the large number of Brazilian and African immigrants brought many names that sound quite strange to us Portuguese). Right now there is just this list of "forbidden" names, but exceptions are allowed all the time.
I've checked out their list. Nice to know they are still gender specific: Quéli (Kelly), Aubri (Aubrey), Ariel, Aléxis (Alexis), are only allowed for boys. I wonder if the US government was that strict with names, maybe their would be no unisex names these days, and boys would still have a much winder range of names.
Hi! I'm Portuguese as well, and a fan of your site :)
First, this list only applies to babies born in Portugal to Portuguese parents. If one of the parents is foreign or the child has double citizenship, foreign names are allowed. I know a Stéphanie who was born in France; her parents did not have to register as Estefânia in Portugal (even though Stéphanie would not be allowed here).
Basically, any name that is too foreign ("Aidan"), doesn't respect Portuguese orthography ("Agatha"), is confusing about the child's gender, is a surname ("Vasconcelos") or is otherwise deemed ridiculous or cruel to the child ("Satélite"… really?) will not be admitted.
Of course, there are exceptions, depending of how willing the civil registrator is to close his/her eyes. And in recent decades, thanks to the inflow of African, Brazilian, and Eastern-European immigrants, lots of new names are gradually being added (I'm shocked to see "Daisi" is allowed, for instance). My brother has a friend named Maxim; he was born in Russia but has Portuguese citizenship. Sixty years from now, will he be allowed to name a fully Portuguese grandson after himself? Probably!
These rules are very much supported by the population, by the way. First, it's seen as a way to protect our language and our culture. Secondly, right now the trend is to give children classic, simple names, and these sort of names are seen as harmful for a child, not to mention "bad taste". It's funny because Portuguese people who were born in the 70's and 80's and given "modern" names like Cátia, Tânia, or Fábio (which are considered "low class") are now naming their kids super classy things like Maria, Tomás, and Martim.
Hope I helped! I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have.
Those rules apply only to portuguese citizens, with portuguese roots. Imagine you are american, and you have a baby in Portugal. You are allowed to choose an english name. Imagine you are portuguese, but you parents aren't. You are allowed to choose a foreign name.
Rita is right: these rules are very much supported by the population. People don't respond well to weird names – even when they are approved; using uncommon names may be interpreted as embaracing to the child. And we have such a beautiful language – there's really no need to go for foreign names, although people are always using the same names; nowadays, every newborn is Beatriz or Leonor, Tomás or Rodrigo.
Hii ^^
I am Portuguese !
I guess you can call them banned but i think they are just Highly unlikley used ;)
(that is just my Opinion)
Although a lot of poeple don't use those names anymore , because they are as Banned as well as outdated (because names go in syle and out, sometimes) ) LoL, some poeple still use them x]
I didn't really answer any questions , but if i did i hoped it helped
I would be glad to answer any questions. . .
Bye, and thankyou for sharing this information with me cause now i have a speech topic rotfl :D
Hi, I was born in Canada, but my mother was born in Portugal. Her parents were also, but my mother's name is Maria de Lourdes not Maria de Lurdes. She was born in 1958, how is it possible that she has that spelling if it is not excepted? Just out of curiosity?;)
I have children born in the U.S. to a Portuguese father (Canadian mother). We registered the birth of two of our children in Portugal so far (around 2010); Lucia and Emma. Although we spelled Emma the American way (instead of Ema), it was approved by the Portuguese registrar because she was foreign-born.
I was born in portugal (Acores) in 1975 and now live in the US. My mother named me Carla. She said her other choices were Sandra and Sonjia (not sure of the spelling). Are those names considered normal or common for portuguese? Also my mom's name is Aira pronounced Ida. I have'nt ever heard that name besides her.
To Olivia, when your mother was born Lourdes was the way it was written.That changed with time. You can still find many people born before the 70's called Luiz ( Luis now), Victor ( now Vitor), Manoel (Manuel), Tereza (Teresa) or Heloisa (Eloisa).
I believe some names are on a "banned" list because there was a point in time where Portugal didn't have certain letters in the alphabet such as K and Y. I know that if a person for example such as my self that lives in Portugal but is has a nationally of another country they allow the name you want to give to your child and in the way you want to spell it too. You have to go to your embassy and pay to get a paper saying that you are of another nationally and are having a baby in Portugal and would like to use this name. I think for the most part, other English or other names from different ethics are very hard for Portuguese people to say because of the accents, maybe that could be why they want to stick to their own Portuguese names, I know that now lots of people are starting to name there children out of the normal. As time goes on, rules changes.
I heard first time like this rules. Is it followed by Portugal people?
I'm from Portugal and I have a friend of mine who's last name is Viterbo, are these restrictions only for first names?
Hello i am Portuguese also and i just wanted to speak that these are nit laws. They are guidlines to help parents. No they areto force them.
Does anyone know why give their kids different last names when they are born, instead of them all having the same last name for the family? Also, what does the de mean before their name?
Hi Kim, in Portugual (also in Spain) children usually receive two surnames, one from each parent. For example, the footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, his real name is actually Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aviero, with 'dos Santos' and 'Aviero' being his last names, Cristiano his first and Ronaldo his middle name. 'dos Santos' comes from his mother, and 'Aveiro' from his father, and traditionally that's how most people's names are. Sometimes, children can get three or four surnames, two from each parent instead of just one, but typically it's one from each.
'de' is just a preposition used in some names. For example, the name 'dos Santos' means 'of the Saints' and names like Maria da Conceição mean 'Mary of the Conception' which is very common in names you see that derive from saints or other Catholic figures. You typically see it a lot with the name Maria. Maria das Dores, Maria da Assunção, Maria da Gloria, etc.
in Spain the naming convention is slightly different, children receive 1 or more given names and usually 2 surnames, the first being the paternal family surname and the second the mothers first(paternal) surname, in unofficial occasions the second surname is dropped. this naming convention sometimes causes problems when in other countries when people call them by their second surname.
sometimes within the aristocracy they might even use all 4 surnames if they are very relevant in history.
@Mark, interesting bit about the preponderance of Maria used as a fist name along with another name which actually gets used instead of Maria. I am from Pakistan and I know a bunch of people from my generation whose first name is Muhammad. Unlike Arab countries (or even Iran) where Muhammad is a legit first name, Pakistanis have a hard time calling anyone Muhammad (except the prophet). So there is always another first name which actually gets used. The Muhammad is mostly initialized as M. even in official documents.
