La casa es antigua pero muy acogedora, la habitación amplia y sobretodo muy silencioso el ambiente. Nos gustó mucho la atención de los anfitriones y su amabilidad. Todas las mañanas nos preparaba el desayuno. Está situado en la zona baja y a 20 minutos andando de la fortaleza. Muy recomendable.

Richard and May were very friendly and welcoming. We had a lot of privacy since we were the only guests. Our room went out to the back garden where it was really quiet and pieceful. A place to park our car was found right in front oft the house and thanks to Richard and May not expensive. WE enjoyed your stay a lot, Carcassonne is a beautiful small city!

We had a lovely stay here in Carcassonne. We received a very warm welcome to the guest house, the room was big with comfortable beds, everything was clean and there was a great Breakfast each morning. The location was perfect for us as it was only a 5 min walk from the train station and 20min walk to the castle on the hill. Thanks for having us.

Hey... my website is http://www.themusictionary.com.
If you view the site in Firefox, it displays properly. The background is a light shade of blue, the tables are aligned properly etc. etc.
In Safari it is a mess. I know how to fix the tables, but on my lower right sidebar, the dividers don't display properly and for some reason the background color is still white. I cannot figure out what to tweak to fix it.
The CSS coding that makes it display the color in Firefox properly is:
body {
font: 100% Arial, Helvetica;
background: #99CCFF;
color: #333;
Why would this not display properly in Safari?

ASUS X99-E WS Workstation Motherboard Unveiled
Published: 28th August 2014 | Source: Bright side of the news |
ASUS X99-E WS Workstation Motherboard Unveiled
As more and more X99 motherboards continue to leak from ASUS, first with the X99 Deluxe and the Rampage V Extreme soon after. Now we have one of ASUS's more professionally oriented motherboard with the ASUS X99-E WS Workstation grade Motherboard.
With X99 being an entirely new platform, which will likely set some new performance heights for Intel, there quite a few people who are very likely going to be upgrading their workstations, the ASUS X99-E WS Workstation Motherboard is for this crowd.
In terms of features, you off-coarse expected Haswell-E support, alongside Tonne of PCIe 3.0 slots, which includes support for 4-way CrossFireX or SLI. This board is specifically designed to support both Core i7 and Xeon E5 class chips thanks to being only a single socket workstation board. Because this is a workstation board, ASUS also talks about the boards overall power efficiency focusing on their high quality components like their 12k hour capacitors, ProCool power connector and thermal choke.
The Asus X99-E WS, like the Rampage V Extreme also has a host of connectivity options, including eight SATA 6.0 Gbps ports, 12 if you include the SATA ports on the dual SATA Express ports and plenty of USB 3.0 ports on the rear IO, all of which make it all the more attractive to a work user.
There are also dual Gigabit NICs, not to mention the standard audio connectors, eSATA and the other expected IO ports. You will get the full 8-slot DDR4 configuration.
While this board does not have the Visual Swagger of many of the other ASUS X99 boards, this one is definitely still a looker, just with a more relaxed, or tines down style.
Join the discussion on the ASUS X99-E WS series motherboard on the OC3D Forums.

I hope someone can enlighten me on this thank you.Quote
I hope someone can help me understand one of the features mentioned, is that the UEFI chip isn't soldered and is a socket removable chip, what does that mean? Does that mean you can pull out the chip that has the UEFI? Why would you need to? Are there any benefits to this?
I hope someone can enlighten me on this thank you.
But really, I have no idea. I am wondering though what would be the max cost of the best components you could install on this board today.Quote

On the same day I cancelled my order, the plants finally arrived. When I opened the bag, most of the plants were dead or about to die, roots were all dried up, no green growth on the tiny plants. Out of the 20 plants I ordered, 5 plants survived because they were delivered in tiny pots. The rest was garbage. They claimed they shipped plants on 4/6/12, but I did not received them until 4/23/12. My delivery must have gotten lost and that's why most of the plants were dead.
I am so upset and pissed off because they refuse to issue me a credit on my Visa account because they claim it was not within the 14 day period from their ship date. Do not buy from this company. I will be reporting this incident to the Better Business Bureau and every consumer watchdog group I can find on the internet.

I would not suggest having anything done mechanically with your vehicle at Defer....they might be able to change tires & do oil changes but the alignments will cost you more in the end than its worth.

Hummer alignment problems.
AUTHOR: mark - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, August 24, 2011POSTED: Wednesday, August 24, 2011
The customer came in early this year requesting an alignment. He had put a lift kit on which raised the vehicle and threw the alignment settings all out of wack. As I recall, he had also installed oversized tires as well. My technician performed the alignment and printed the before and after readings which we keep on file. The customer paid his bill and went on his way.
A few months later the customer returned complaining that the right front tire was hitting the rear of the front inner fender well when making a sharp turn. We had not noticed it on our previous test drive, but is possible that we had not made a sharp enough turn to cause it to hit. Part of the problem was the bigger tire size, but we decided to see if we could make some adjustments to alleviate the problem. My technician put the vehicle back on the alignment rack and was able to make enough caster adjustment [staying within the specification tolerances and doing both side as to keep the caster even] to move the tire forward in the wheel well so it wouldn't hit. We did this at no charge to the customer.
However, my technician still was puzzled as to why only the right side had been hitting so he took several frame measurments and determined that the frame on the right side had been pushed back in relation to the other side. As I stated above, we do a lot of body shop work and are very familiar with determining frame issues. This vehicle indeed has a frame issue.
As to the customer's claim that we had broken some of the alignment adjustments, yes the second time it came in several were broken. We see this from time to time. It happens when someone with inexperience working with them tries to move them with the weight of the vehicle on the front tires. They must only be adjusted with the weight of the vehicle off the front tires. I can assure you it didn't happen here.
We take pride in all our work and strive to maintain the highest of customer satisfaction. If we make a mistake we own up to it and take care of the customer. The result is achieving the Better Business Bureau's highest rating, an A+.

College 101
Don't Be a Cliché: If You're Going to Do This… Article Type: Quick and Dirty
Listen up. Community College can be a very smart way to get affordable training for a career, save money on your way to a four-year degree, or explore some options while you figure out what you want to do without breaking the bank.
But just because it can be a smart plan, doesn't mean there aren't some ways you can muck it up. Shmoop highly suggests you don't take a good idea and make it crummy. Here's what you want to avoid:
-The Under-Matched Student
Studies show that underprivileged students who enroll in Community College are much more likely to go on to earn a four-year degree. Wonderful! Studies also show that students who could have easily gone right from high school into a four-year college and been successful, but instead decided to go with the less-challenging route of Community College, are actually less likely to graduate from a four-year program. Meaning, if you have the intention, the smarts, and the means to graduate from a four-year college, skip the Community College part.
-The Pigeonholed Student
Community College and an Associate's Degree are going to prepare you for a specific career. This sounds awesome … if you know exactly what you want to do. If you aren't sure, it will come as a pretty nasty wake-up call seven years down the line when you are trained as an X-Ray Technician and you realize you don't want to be an X-Ray Technician, but instead want to be a Computer Programmer. Not too many transferrable skills there.
-The Floater
While some Community College courses will be very challenging, most are known to have a less-rigorous work load than at a four-year college. Nice. Time to take it easy, right? Wrong. Floating through your classes, not really putting in full effort is only going to hurt. Why? Either you are going to graduate and go into the workforce, or you are going to transfer to a four-year college. Doing so with lazy habits and poor follow-through probably isn't the best idea.
-The Perpetual Community College Student
This is the student who actually is a member of lots of clubs and social organizations on campus, which is great. What isn't so great is that he also happens to have been president of the Student Poet Society for six years. What's going on here? This is the guy who enrolled in Community College to explore some career possibilities. Seven years later, and he has nearly completed three different Associate's Degrees, but has decided to switch programs in the final semester of each. Community College is only a good deal if you don't stay there forever.

Issue No.08 - August (1996 vol.7)
pp: 818-829
DOI Bookmark: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/71.532113

Abstract—In this paper, we consider the design of high performance SIMD architectures. We examine three mechanisms by which the performance of this class of machines may be improved, and which have been largely unexplored by the SIMD community. The mechanisms are pipelined instruction broadcast, pipelining of the PE architecture, and the introduction of a novel memory hierarchy in the PE address space which we denote the direct only data cache, (dod-cache). For each of the performance improvements, we develop analytical models of the potential speedup, and apply those models to real program traces obtained on a MasPar MP-2 system. In addition, we consider the impact of all improvements taken together.

SIMD, pipelining, caches, MasPar, data parallel.

- The rebels belong to the Zaidi community, a moderate Shia sect that makes up about a third of Yemen's population.
- Their rebellion was launched in 2004 in the northern town of Saada.
- Their initial demand was an end to political and economic marginalisation in the north.
- Another objective was allegedly to restore the rule of Shia imams, who ruled Yemen for nearly 1,000 years.
- They now say they are fighting for more rights for all Yemenis, saying people in both the north and south are being wronged by the country's rulers.
- The Houthis participated in the 2011 uprising and gained political acceptance in Yemen. But soon they broke away from the rest of the political forces that deposed Ali Abdullah Saleh.
- They resumed military action and have in the last six months taken control of Sanaa and other parts of Yemen.

|Heavy poaching of Indian rhinos
|2015.03.15 19:18:09
Whether in South Africa or in India poaching of rhinos has assumed alarming levels. In South Africa, which has the largest population of rhinos and which is an important country for their conservation, poaching has reached a crisis point so much so that if the killings continue at the current rate, it is estimated, the species could be pushed close to extinction. In 2014 as many as 1215 rhinos were killed and the South African Department of Environment calculated that that amounted to poaching of one rhino every 8 hours.

|Gas lamps of London
|2015.01.23 15:05:32
The feature on lamplighters of London in the Times of India of last Sunday literally dug out from the deep recesses of my mind the memories of gas lamps and their lighters in my birthplace Gwalior in Central India. More than 60 years ago in the early 1940s Gwalior was a small town of about 80000 or so but it used to be the capital of the princely state carrying the same name. Its maharaja was the third richest of all the Indian maharajas after the Nizam of Hyderabad, and Maharaja of Mysore. Being the capital, it had stately buildings, a beautiful palace that was built in the 19th Century on the pattern of the palace at Versailles and broad roads. While most of the roads were illuminated at night by electric incandescent bulbs many lanes, including ours, had gas lights to light them up.

Me & the Baking Chin~ Video
My friend Ian and I made a video on how to make my Browned Butter Brownies a couple of months ago in his apartment in Paris! Here it is! I hope you enjoy, especially the song at the end. haha :-)
Make sure to check out his channel on Youtube!
Frenchisms~ Si Si! Ooh la la
Just like the long stereotyped Italian hand signals, the French have all sorts of fun facial expressions, punctuating words, noises… as do we as I've learned… apparently I do some sort of hand signal all the time where I'm pointing.. not really sure? haha!
My favorite used to be "ooh la la" something we say in the States a lot to signal something posh, stylish, and perhaps slightly snobby (but almost always in a positive light). Here, when someone says "ahh la la" it's in exasperation or frustration or to express displeasure or annoyance – the train is late, ahh la la! (usually complete with head shakes and hands in the air). There's a long line at the boulangerie, ahh la la! I need my bread! I've lost my key in the gutter and a homeless man is running after me screaming! — ok that one is a bit too far. I think "Merde!" and maybe a couple other words would go more for that circumstance. But bottom line, is that "ooh la la" pronounced "ahh la la!" is not a positive thing in France signalling fashion and beautiful macaroon displays.
Let's just imagine this very fashionable looking lady was looking at the pickpockets with their clipboards shaking her head and attempting (very unsuccessfully) to hide her pearl bracelet before her dogs run away. ahh la la!!!
[source] Merde! I stepped in dog poo!
Si Si..
I first thought I was hearing Spanish. But it's actually, this is very confusing for us, a positive response to a negative question. You know those super annoying questions that could be answered "yes" to mean both yes and no? To where, after the person has answered, you have to ask another question to clarify?
Let's see here's an example- "There isn't a baseball game today, is there?" Answer yes or no and I'm still not really sure if there is. Let's bring some French into this, if I happened to respond "Si Si" – it would signal that there absolutely is a baseball game today. It's a different way to say yes, and specifically to a negative question. Say "oui" to this question and it would mean yes, there is not a game today. My head spun a bit on this one- Good thing I didn't change the baseball question to something a bit more like- "There isn't an Exhibition on Russian Existentialism today at the Grand Palais shown through strings connected by thoughts from philosophers, is there?" tehehe
I'll be doing a couple more in the future!
For a look at noises specifically, complete with voice recordings, head to Oui in France!
Toddling About England~ Christmas 2013
When in England, do as the Brits do and drink lots and lots of tea, then try a British accent, throw in words like "drop, splash, dribble" and eat everything in sight until your stomach hurts!
It was going to be hard to swing a trip back to the States for Christmas so I spent my first holidays away from home at Jenni's in Droitwich, England. It was hard being away from my family over the holidays (especially my mom's amazing cooking) but they made me feel like a long lost American cousin. haha!
Obligatory Red Phone Box England Picture… I want to be an honorary Brit!
My journey started with last minute pretrip planning with the Frenchman over gingerbread men with missing legs and heads, and the very important decision of how I would get to the airport. Very important in the fact that I've missed my fair share of flights. Going on 5-6 perhaps, maybe more? I've conveniently lost track. So in this case we decided the best plan since my flight was at 8:30 and the metro would get me there at 7:30 was to take a taxi.
I think I double checked that I had my passport about 10 times. But around 1am, I was ready!
Day 1: Up at 4:30am… The taxi arrived at 5:15am, the driver did a double take bahahahaha, loaded up my suitcase and I was on my way listening to Louis Armstrong watching a sleepy Paris wake up. Good morning! :)
The airport looked dead until we got to my terminal. I could see lines of people through the glass windows. I called ahead the day before after trying to check-in online and getting a warning message that my booking didn't exist. I swear. Something always happens! haha!
I had booked through flybe but because of their merger, I was actually flying with AirFrance and there was some sort of disconnect taking place. The customer service though assured me that I was on the flight and just needed to check-in at the airport.
But at the airport, the electronic check-in machine wasn't finding my ticket either… hmm I was kinda glad that I was a little more than two hours early. I was soon ushered to the longgggg bag check-in line and ended up twiddling my thumbs and inching forward for an hour.
At the counter, the lady asked for my reservation details and gave me a weird look, she wasn't finding my reservation either. A long chat with headquarters and I was good to go! Thank god she didn't weigh my bag though. hahaha! I'd repacked about 6 times the night before to get to the size requirements and there was absolutely no way I was meeting the weight requirement. I whizzed through security and was left with about 30 minutes to spare before boarding where I watched not 1 but 6 people run up to a gate that had just closed. ugh!!
A short hour plane ride later and I was in England where they say crumbly and nom nom and twissels (ok I made the last one up).
It was rainy, cold, windy, and oh so Englandy. haha! Jenni assured me about 3 times that it was not normally rainy (I naturally didn't believe her) and it proceeded to rain for about 4 of the 7 days I was there. tehehe!
Jenni's dad, the most awesome dry stylish British man I've ever met carried my bag to the car, and after the usual amount of laughing in the car with Jenni in the backseat he turned around and said "Now we are not going to have this giggling all week are we?" tehehe And then we proceeded to hear about the history of Droitwich, Birmingham (not pronounced like the one in Alabama) and Worcester for the next 30 minutes, complete with a driving tour of the itty bitty town that took two minutes, a description of a French chateau that was built for someone's French wife on the outskirts of town years ago and the man-made (emphasis on man-made) landscaping to go along with it.
Highstreet in Droitwich with slanted buildings because the salt from the ground was removed causing the buildings to sink a bit and slant!
First order of business after a tour of the house, TEA! How did I take my tea? Well I learned to drink tea from Jenni so I insisted- you are the experts!
Sitting at the ridiculously cute Cath Kidston tablecloth I was brought British specialties to go along with my tea for breakfast. Each came complete with the same question- Do you have this in America! No? Try it! Which I enthusiastically replied- Yesssss!!!! Which meant a mini mince pie, two types of biscuits (aka. cookies- one chocolate marshmallow and one ginger…or multiple ginger), toast (after a debate on which bread I should have), and chocolate for breakfast. My tummy was happy!! tehehe
For the ginger cookie, I was given a demonstration for how long to dunk it in my tea and warned that this was not the correct tea for this biscuit which meant that the flavor of the tea would probably change. :-D Zut! I didn't find out what tea the gingersnap cookies go best with though!!! You totally should try this!
An amazing lunch, some apartment drama, and the two pastry chefs were in the house (Jenni had told me her dad was looking for a lot of baking this week)! It was time to make a log cake!
But first… more tea!
With tea there was always two choices, regular tea (Breakfast- the tea maker gets to choose the type) or green tea. Pick green tea and choose from three options (vanilla, almond, lemon).
I thought log cakes were more of a French Christmas tradition (Buche de Noel) but we had three log cakes that week and ours was by far the best. bahahaha! Just wait for the final picture. You would be impressed at our pastry skills and patisserie diploma. ;-)
Jenni and her sister Jo had decided to snaze up the usual log cake this year and instead of the normal chocolate and vanilla roll, ours was going to be black forest. yummm!
Folding! I did not wake up at 4:30am! Tea is re-energizing!
Baked! and Filled with whipped cream and cherries!
It's a wrap! or a roll! Or a log!
That chocolate ganache is not flowing over the sides! I told you, we're professionals! hahaha
Then we were off to the first of what would be four massive Christmas dinners… Christmas Eve Eve at Jenni's friends house! Ah they were so cute! The four of them have been doing this for almost 10 years now!
and oh my gosh Sara is one heck of a cook!! Three or four types of canapes then turkey, roasted veg, mashed potatoes, pigs in a blanket! Cocktails! oh and Uno! :D tehehe We might have left before her parents got back home, but we were party animals!
Day 2: Christmas Eve!!!
I think I slept in a bit? haha because by the time I got downstairs all of Jenni's family had already had breakfast. But what did I get? A choice of two different kinds of butter and 5 possible jams! So of course I tried them all on one piece of toast! with tea. Loved the lemon curd and honey. :-D
Then we went to Stratford Upon Avon – Shakespeare's birthplace because you just have too! and the town is crazy cute. We took ridiculous photos in front of Shakespeare's family home (well I did) and then strolled about the cute streets doing a bit of shopping!
When we got back to Jenni's house, Christmas Eve dinner was in full prep mode! Gammon, potatoes, green beans…! Whoever said British cooking was not good, has not tried Jenni's moms cooking! whoa! Now I could never say it was better than my mom's cooking (the blasphemy!) but wow! so delicious. I think I was in a food coma the entire trip.
Then we drank mulled wine and watched Christmas Vacation… :-D
Day 3: Christmas Day!! I think Jenni and I were the last ones up again. oopss!! Jenni's dad was playing Christmas songs on the piano, Jo was super excited about opening presents, Jenni was rotating spectacular Christmas jumpers, and of course there was tea out of the cutest teacup.
Jenni's parents were so sweet and had put together a stocking for me! and then it was round and round as each family member opened a present~ such a great tradition! There were tons of British TV DVD sets that I'd never heard of but that cracked me up.
A bit of a break and it was time for Christmas lunch!! The third massive meal in a row. Jenni had prepared me before I left and I think my stomach had stretched because I was starving at this point! haha! Jenni and I's stomachs had started making super weird noises every night at this point.
Turkey, potatoes, green peas, yorkshire pudding (this was taken pre-gravy), brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce, and of course Jenni's British stuffing! I'd never had Yorkshire pudding but I LOVED it!! It's a light batter (almost like pancake or waffle batter) baked in a bowl shape, and then filled with gravy. Jenni's dad is from Yorkshire so they are absolutely necessary at Christmas dinner. :-D
oh and did I mention the torte I'd heard about every day since arriving in England? oh ya… that good! There was mince pie of as well.
A late night present opening with the fam via Skype :-D then, Doctor Who and Downton Abbey Christmas Special watching at Laura's with Snowballs and mulled wine!
Please note my older sister's hairband. haha!
Day 4: Boxing Day!! I forgot to ask Jenni's dad were this came from, especially after being told that I was absolutely not allowed to ask him while any siblings were in the room, pending a very long story. So I looked it up. And of course the American in me first thought boxing, as in two guys in a ring boxing. oops It comes from a tradition with a box. There are a couple of different possible meanings but essentially a Christmas present in England can be called a "Christmas Box." It possibly came from when servants were given the day off after Christmas to go home to their families to open "Christmas Boxes" or it could have to do with sailors who for good luck put money in a box on board which would be opened on Christmas and the money inside given to the poor if the voyage was a success. The other possibility is a box put in churches on Christmas to collect money for the poor which was then opened the next day.
Jenni and I ran to the store to get veggies in the morning and just missed a hunt going through the village. Yes.. a hunt! Like red coats, hounds, horses, possibly chasing a fox? Everyone was in wellies, outdoor coats, and those crazy cute flat plaid hats the older men in the UK always wear that I love so much.
In England, Boxing Day is a time to spend with family, so that's what we did complete with more tea, and more amazing food (chicken curry and rice~nom!) and stories about an Aunt's chickens called Betty and Doris.
Now might be a great time to say that even though I speak English and love to speak in a British accent when I'm around Jenni to prove that yes I should have been invited to see the Duchess of Cambridge with her, I was struggling sometimes with understanding the Brits. Particularly funny was learning new words like toddle.
Before I left, Jenni and I discussed the different meanings of pants in England and America. America=trousers, England=undies bahahaha So I made sure I said "pants" as many times as possible while I was there.
The night ended with me looking at maps of England with Jenni's dad and pictures of a sword designed by Jenni's grandparents. Oh and getting a history lesson on several different small villages near them that we would be visiting the next day. tehe
Day 5: A Trip to the Cotswolds~ My parents were SO jealous! They are huge Britophiles and before I'd left had looked up where Droitwich was and told me you have to go to the Cotswolds!!! The Cotswolds are small oh so British looking villages in west-central England. Umbrella in hand Jo, Jenni, and I set out. ps- I had to say all of the town names multiple times in a British accent.
Up first Bourton on the Water, known for it's canals through cute little houses and often called the "Venice of Cotswolds" as I learned last night. It is also the home of the Model Village, an exact replica of the town at 1/9th the size that was even visited by the Queen.
Next up! Stow on the Wold – Say it with me in your best posh British accent. tehehe
We stopped and had tea and lunch. I had a pasties (which I still think I'm pronouncing wrong- haha!). So good!!
Then we decided to see a castle, which was really a tower, but I'm calling it a castle because castles are cool.
It was really windy, and cold, and wet, and we almost got blown away.
And there were sheep and English countryside. :-)
Then on to Broadway which ended up being my favorite village we visited with stone mushroom stools, horses, and houses covered in vines.
Later that night we met up with Sara, Laura, and Vickie at a pub, drank three bottles of white wine, and then went into Worcester and well it was a typical night out if you know my nights out… somehow I passed as a Brit for a bit? hahaha
Which lead to Day 6 and a very late start. j'ai mal a la tété! Jenni's dad, sister, and brother headed to a rugby match to root for the Worcester Warriors (rah rah rah) decked out in multiple layers and carrying hand warmers. Jenni and I tagged along to do some shopping in Worcester.
This is how Worcester looked to me.
Lots of fresh air, lots of stores, and we wandered into the Worcester Cathedral where Christmas trees sponsored and decorated by different companies lined the atrium.
erm I think we easily shopped for five hours and probably could have stayed longer.
Back at home we made some cupcakes in our PJs! Ate leftovers and watched British comedies.
Fish & chips for dinner with every imaginable sauce. :-D So much better and greasier than the Sunken Chip in Paris (I do love that name though!!).
Day 7 and it was off to do more shopping and visit family in a nearby town. Jenni and I managed to buy the same shoes, after buying the same bed sheets the day before, and almost the same dress. We could have had matching outfits! On the way to her relatives, I had a driving tour by Jenni's dad of nearby sites and an explanation of where the word "football" came from which I took notes on but now I can't make sense of them. I thought every church was a castle, there was a homestead, and lots of hedgerows. We saw the cutest niece and nephew and cousins and then I was on a plane to head home to Paris!
It was a brilliant trip!!! I hope to be back soon!!
Appartement Drama~ The Backstory to my trip to Brussels
I think most, no let's say all of my issues living abroad have coincided with apartments. I've moved now four times, and soon to be a fifth in the span of ten months. A quick recap of my living situation is this: when I moved here I roomed with a friend from work for four months then we decided to part ways and find our own places. Thus commenced the month and a half search, 14+ apartment visits, and two moves in the span of a month and a half. I found an amazing place in the Madeline/Opera area for August with five windows (so nice for those crazy hot days) and a beautiful view but there was a bee and bathroom problem (luckily the two didn't go hand in hand). Then I moved to what I thought would be my last place to live in Paris. A cute (but ridiculously messy upon arrival) flat right off the Champ de Mars. I loved the location. Things were good, and I had made it my own complete with new shower curtain, glasses, and a large assortment of cleaning materials.
Then there was the closet.
A closet located in the hallway with a red door and old fashioned lock.
Sounds innocent enough- what could a little ole 5m square storage closet do?
Drive me absolutely crazy for three months.
The girl I was renting from was storing some clothes in the closet. They happened to be winter clothes that she would like to get out because it's well, cold. No biggie. Until you realize that the apartment concierge has the key. And the girl you're renting from refuses to come by the apartment to take care of it herself, and instead asks you, yes me, to ask the concierge to open the closet.
I asked the concierge about 5 times to open the closet in horribly embarrassing French, to the point where my day brightened and darkened with the opening and closing of the closet door (pretty good analogy, eh?), especially when I realized the girl hadn't come by to get her things which means I have to ask for the key again.
It kept getting worse and worse until three weeks ago it came to a crux, a ditch in the road so to say, lots of things lead to it but I was suddenly left with a message… I think I might take my apartment back.
I've had my heart completely drop three times while I've been in Paris. The first was several months ago, the second after getting this message and the next just one week after that.
I don't like things being up in the air. I love spontaneity (sure! let's go on a trip next weekend!) but when it has to do with basic needs like where I'll be living in a week, I'm terrified. I like stability.
I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and to trust and believe that things will work out.
A call to my parents on Skype had us problem solving from three angles for 40 minutes. Then immediately after, a teary call with a dear friend. Midnight and another call from a friend who knows me so well that she knew I would still be awake.
I had countless offerings of places to stay and I'm so thankful for the support of my friends and family.
I didn't want to move again but the stress of the apartment wasn't healthy. I loved the location, the apartment wasn't bad, but the drama was making my skin crawl.
And all because of a closet. un placard. I will forever remember that word with not so fond feelings.
Soon it was two days until I was to leave for England for the next two weeks for Christmas and New Years and I was flying on cloud nine. I'd had an amazing time meeting up with friends, shopping, and going to Christmas markets and Tina and I had decided to rent a place together for the last two months that I'm here, starting in mid-January when she returned to France. We'd found an incredible apartment with roof access and all that was left to do was tell my current apartment person that I was moving out.
The night before, I was packing and knew I couldn't procrastinate anymore. With lots of help from Jenni and the Frenchman, we crafted a message for me to send her explaining that I had visa problems and had to return to the US mid-January when really I would be secretly moving to my next place. bahaha!
I sent it to her that night and didn't hear from her. The next morning I was up at 4:30am to catch my 8am flight to Birmingham. Later that afternoon after tea and multiple "Do you have this in America? You should try it!" tastings, I checked my phone and saw a text from her.
The message- well this is an embarrassing situation. I might have to ask you to leave if I find someone to take the apartment on January 1st.
That would leave me homeless until the 11th and I had told her I would be moving out on the 13th. But thinking there was absolutely no way with just two days until Christmas that she would find someone, I didn't respond.
It took just three hours and she had found someone. I was now stuck with 10 days without an apartment. Not to mention, I wasn't supposed to be back in Paris until the 3rd. Jenni started texting her in French so there was nothing lost in translation and there was no leeway. I had to be out of the apartment by the 31st. If you hadn't guessed, this was heart drop #3. And soon I was on the phone with my family sobbing and making those horrible gasping noises. My mom tried a true and tested mom-tactic, quickly changing the subject to try to calm me down and we talked about England and the ridiculously cute town I was staying in with Jenni and her family. Then it was back to the apartment, with a one hour strategizing session with ideas from every family member that started with my mom laughing, trying to lift my spirits, saying "You didn't think it would be easy did you!" Well well! I guess I had? And I had been soo so wrong.
The first solution: I looked online and the apartment I was moving into next was actually available starting the 3rd. Perfect! And I could stay in Jenni's place until she was back on the 4th. But it also involved me cutting my trip to London short and buying a last minute plane ticket to come back to Paris on the 29th. I'd somehow move all my things up four flights of slanting stairs into Jenni's itty bitty (but mind you, ridiculously cute) apartment for a couple of days and then move into my new place before she got back. As I told Jenni, it would be like a little fairy had come and gone from her flat.
Sounds pretty horrible, right? Well it wasn't meant to be. The next day I'd bought my plane ticket and was about to reach out to the apartment to ask if I could move in on the 3rd and it was now booked from the 2nd until the 10th. Which meant I was yet again homeless for 10 days. Noooo! It's cold outside!!
Over tea, we had a lot of tea, I had an idea.
The second solution: I'd be missing a trip to London, but why couldn't I take a impromptu trip from the 4th to the 7th? I would stay in Jenni's flat until the 3rd when she got back from the trip I'd be missing in London. I'd be out of Jenni's hair for a couple of days when she came home (a really good thing when we're talking small studio apartment) and I'd be back in time for my internship that started on the 8th. Jenni and I would be sharing a single twin sized bed for four nights though but she assured me that we would make it work. Thanks Jenni!!!!!!
A couple blissful stomach aching from all the amazing food days later and I was on a plane back to Paris. I stayed up till 2am that night packing and listening to music as loudly as possible in hopes to annoy the neighbors a bit before I left. I ended up with two massive suitcases, two small suitcases, an oven, and several grocery bags of kitchen stuff I wasn't parting with for the next two months. A message to Beatrice and I had a home for them for 10 days. yay!! :-D I just had to figure out how to get them there especially because she was leaving the next day. A short chat with two French guy friends, Davy and Florian, and I suddenly had movers that had a car (super super exciting!). The next day I slept till 10 and then packed for a solid four hours. The guys reached out asking how much we were moving. A quick picture later and the storage location for my things had changed to one of their apartments. It'd just be easier they assured me. At two on the dot the easiest move in my Paris life commenced. The itty bitty elevator that fit two people was packed to the brim, Flo and I took the seven flights of stairs down with a couple of bags, loaded up his car and I ran upstairs to lock my apartment and grab my purse. Downstairs Flo tells me- why did you go get your purse! You don't have to come, Davy and I will take care of it. What?! And who said the French weren't nice? haha! I did get a message later than evening though telling me they had found a buyer for my things and would 300 euros be a fair price. haha!
The next day I was out of the apartment by 2 and after two trips lugging last minute bags (this always happens to me!) I was settled into Jenni's. The next three days I spent holed up watching French TV and planning a super last minute trip. I can never make up my mind sometimes so the location changed about 5 times. Two days before I was set to leave I'd decided.
Hoping that Belgium chocolate and beer with a side of frites would cure my spinning head and aching back before move #5. :-)
Christmas in Paris~
Just a couple of pictures of Christmas in Paris that I took over the last couple of weeks! Right now I'm celebrating it with Jenni and her fam in England!
A late night visit to a Christmas Market by La Defense. Tartiflette and Vin Chaud :-)

The ad claims that the set contains: "All 252 Uncut Episodes 8 Seasons on 51 DVDS, Excellent video and audio quality, 100% in chronological order, Commercial free and unedited, This box set includes all 51 DVDs with Custom Artwork, These DVDs are region free so they will play on any DVD player Worldwide and DVD-Rom, X-Box or PS2 worldwide.
Their website states, "These are brand new, in stock and ready to ship. On Sale for a Limited Time only." There is absolutely no indication that the DVDs are home copies. Upon arrival it was very obvious that they are. [continued below]....
The DVDs are contained in what appear to be VHS tape boxes. As for the custom artwork, I'm speechless. I've always been under the impression that piracy is illegal.
The cost of shipping was $19.00 because they were being shipped from China. I wasn't aware of the shipping location until I received the package.
I have been in contact with COOPER'S Customer Support since I received the DVDs and realized they're home made copies. Their reply said, "Please kindly note that an Official DVD Collection has never been released for this series and what you received was a Collectors/Fan Version."
To date there have been numerous e-mails with no resolution. They refunded $50.00 of the purchase price, but stated that I have 14 days to return the "new", "unused" collection for a refund. Their website says you have 30 days to return merchandise for a refund.
I sent another e-mail to customer service on January 3, 2012. Today is January 9, 2012 and I haven't received a reply.
The copies are of very poor quality. There are bits of commercials fast forwarded throughout. Parts of the episodes are fast forwarded which make them non-viewable.
I could have ordered 8 individual, studio released seasons of Bewitched for $115.00 with free shipping. COOPER'S website leads one to believe that what they're selling is a studio released, limited edition, complete box set. Of course after the sale, they inform you via e-mail that they're "fan copies".
Although they refunded $50.00 of the purchase price, which hasn't been refunded according to my credit card statement, I'm out $50.00 for illegal home copies, plus $19.00 shipping to receive them, plus an additional $19.00 shipping if I were to return them, which adds up to $88.00. $138.00 if I don't receive the $50.00 refund they promised.
I plan to report this transaction to the proper authorities. Hopefully, everyone reads this report before ordering from COOPERS DVD Store. I purchased this set as a Christmas Gift. So disappointing.

I was trying to convert 500 AUD into dollars, but I've noticed that their rate is different than the rate on any other website.
On every online currency converting website I'd get ~518 USD for 500 AUD, but only on Freelancer the money I was going to get was ~492 USD. I have noticed $26 difference (or loss), because of their wrong currency ratio.
I've tried to explain that to them by writing this to their support:
According to you 1 AUD is 0.985720 USD so I get 492.86
But actually 1 USD is 0.985720 AUD
1 AUD is 1.03672 USD
This is correct conversion rate (although it can vary a little bit)
Australian Dollar ? US Dollar
I received only copy paste FAQ answers that did not address my issues.

I'm using WP V3.4.2.
in the settings view all is checked but the toolbar is still there.
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
I'm using WP V3.4.2.
in the settings view all is checked but the toolbar is still there.
View ALL is checked?
That is not a setting in the plugin.
If you look at the plugin settings page (SETTINGS/HIDE TOOLBAR OPTIONS) you will see that there are 2 sections with several check boxes for each.
The first is to HIDE for all logged in users on the front end. To hide it, that MUST be checked. then, if you decide you want to show it for some capabilities, you can check all appropriate to hide ONLY FOR those levels. Anything unchecked, like admin, will still see the toolbar on the front end.
The second is to hide the "show toolbar" option in the user profile page. Again, that also has check boxes under it to select only the levels you want to hide it for. Anything unchecked will still see the option.
Then remember to save the settings.
The plugin works with 3.4.2, I personally have it installed on over 50+ WordPress sites all using 3.4.2 (with differing server settings) and it works right out of the gate on all of them.
Let me know if you still have problems so we can try to resolve the issue.
Warm regards,
:-) what i meant is: "in the settings view" of this plugin all check-boxes are checked, just as you explained.
it removes the toolbar from the actual site, but not from the admin panel.
if i login as Administrator or Subscriber and go to the "site admin" the toolbar is still there.
ok. got it.
You cannot remove the tool bar from the admin (backend) portion of the site with the plugin. It is designed to remove it from the front end.
I don't believe WordPress allows for hooking into the admin part of it to turn it off there, as the logout functionality is located there.
if you don't want subscribers to see it, try using a plugin that keeps the user on the front end and does not allow them to actually do anything in the admin panel. For example, Theme My Login works well for that, or even WP User Frontend.
Warm regards,
This topic has been closed to new replies.

The Cottagers enjoyed a good start to the season after losing Mousa Dembele, Clint Dempsey and Danny Murphy. Jol brought in free agents Giorgos Karagounis and Mickael Tavares after the summer window closed in a bid to beef up his side and there look set to be more new faces arriving in west London.
Jol said: "Of course we will always look to strengthen, but the January transfer period is not an ideal one. The good players will stay at their clubs or you can't afford them because clubs are asking too much money, but we will come up with something."
Jol did prove successful in last January's transfer window, utilising his knowledge of the Bundesliga to good effect by bringing in Pavel Pogrebnyak.
The Russia international was out of favour at Stuttgart but filled the void left by Bobby Zamora's move to QPR, helping Fulham to a ninth-place finish.
Two weeks after the window closed, Jol also brought in former Real Madrid midfielder Mahamadou Diarra.
Unlike Pogrebnyak, who moved on to Reading, the Malian is still at Craven Cottage and Jol is having to plan for his absence in the new year.
Diarra's form at Fulham has seen him return to the national team set-up, meaning he may well soon be heading to the African nations Cup.
"We'll look to strengthen the squad because if Diarra goes I can do nothing about it," Jol said. "As it is now he will go to the African Nations Cup.
"He was so good for me last year because a lot of older players left the club. He changed the dressing room."

This is the site of the NZFlag.com Trust - a Trust established to promote debate about New Zealand's national identity and, in particular, about New Zealand's flag. We believe that the time has come for New Zealanders to choose a flag which represents New Zealanders as we see ourselves today - to respect and reflect our history as a nation, to represent us to others as we would we would like them to see us and, importantly, to carry us forward with our hopes and aspirations for New Zealand's future.
Ian Mune, Director, Writer, Actor
"Why a flag? To run up the mast, to drape over a coffin, to unfurl in the breeze, to gather around, to say "This is us." So who are we? According to our current flag, a bunch of poms in the South Pacific. We stand by Australia like two kids going to school, our flags almost identical, and both looking backwards, still acknowledging our parents. We're grown-ups now. Let's buy our own clothes. And if we want the stars, we better get in quick or the Aussies will pinch it."

How to be Efficient at Work5:45 PM
I am posting the following guidelines on request of some readers and I must mention that I have taken the lessons from a man I admire immensely for his efficiency and decision making capability. He is well revered at his work place for his innovative thinking and analytic skills. None other than, my husband - Sanjay Kumar.
Here is what he shares from his knowledge and experience.
Continuous re-engineering – this is very important to bring a change in the process. Every process needs continuous monitoring for better performance and error-proofing. We must always look towards improving the existing practices and re-engineer the entire thing.
Understand each and every process first – In order to bring effective change in an organization, team or process, the prerequisite is to first understand how things actually take place. Who does what work and how. A thorough, comprehensive functional knowledge of the workflow helps in superior designing and optimizing.
Always approach your boss with a solution – Yes boss! This should be the phrase. Never approach him only with a problem. If he gives you a problem, accept the task and then work hard to find a solution. Instead of saying, 'boss, we have a problem here' say 'boss, there is a problem but we can fix it'. Even if you encounter a problem, look for its solution yourself and then approach your boss. He would certainly appreciate your efforts and pro activeness.
Avoid procrastination – This is a must. It is always better to kill the problems then and there. The moment something doesn't work, fix it immediately instead of moving on to the next step. Doing this reduces the pile of work and also avoids last minute rush.
Stay focused – It is better to work on one problem at a time instead of handling too many tasks. Though multi tasking has its own benefits but to be highly effective one has to find long term solution and with multitasking it becomes difficult to get to the root of the issue. Focus on one issue and resolve it completely. That way the whole work process becomes simpler.
Apart from the above, one thing that has always helped me is having a happy personal life. A stable, peaceful personal life lets you concentrate on your work better. :)

Giving solution to the boss is always appreciated but in my view give the solution only and keep the ultimate reusable key up to you . Coz if u share the ultimate key, bosses are smart enough to take all the credit without mentioning u in the solution and take all the credit on himself /herself. This is my learning. Correct me if I am wrong on this.ReplyDelete
Ohh yeah! Absolutely true. And you wont believe.. day before yesterday I and Sanjay talked about the same thing. It is always good to keep some 'key' - as you called it right, with you!ReplyDelete

Help with instructions please
I am a very new knitter and have just started my first sweater Crofter DK Cardigan 9191. The instructions read:
Work 25 rows dec 1 st at each end of next and foll 4th row.
Am I decreasing on the first of those 25 rows?
Thanks for any help :)
Knit 25 rows and then decrease 1st at each end of the next (26th) row.
Dec on the next row, 26, and on row 30.
Thank you :thumbsup:
Well I got almost the whole back done and it just wasn't looking right so I took it to the shop where I bought the pattern and yarn. She read the pattern and said that I should have dec on row 1 and that I would need to rip out and start again. I really didn't want to do that right away so I emailed the company and sure enough the dec should have started on row 1. :( Oh well, practice makes perfect right?
Hi Jan, Of course, your LYS is right there and can see the whole pattern and the finished back of your sweater but I've read the directions you quote and I can't see any other way to interpret them other than the above posts. I've tried reading forwards, backwards, up, and down and it still comes out the same.
I'm guessing that this is at the beginning of the back (the lower edge). If so, even the pictures on Ravelry seem to show a decrease quite a few inches up the side for the waist shaping.
Before you rip it all out, what was it that didn't look right about the back to you?
I haven't ripped it out yet. I agree with the way you were reading it but the reason I was starting to question it was because the back was getting too long. Let me copy and post the email I sent to the company and their reply.
Her answer has also confused me. Shouldn't I be decreasing rows 1, 4, 8, etc???
I am having some trouble with pattern 9191. Hope you can help me. For the back it says: My questions are in red.
Work 25 [25:29:29:29:29] rows dec 1 st at each end of next and every foll 4th row. 81 [93:103:115:125:137] sts.
Do I start the dec on row 1 or row 26?
Work 7 [7:7:9:11:11] rows without shaping
Work 31 [31:19:13:7:7] rows inc 1 st at each end of next and every foll 6th row. 93 [105:111:121:129:141] sts.
Same question as above. Inc row 1 or 32?
Work 16 [16:32:40:48:48] rows inc 1 st at each end of every foll 8th row. 97 [109:119:131:141:153] sts.
Same question again. The set of instructions does not use the word "next".
Work 17 [17:17:19:23:23] rows without shaping.
Hi Jan
You dec on the 1st row of the 25 rows as the instructions state ( so you dec on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 9th, 13th, 17th, 21st and 25th rows).
work 16 rows (you dec on the 8th and the 16th row)
I do hope this helps
Kind regards
Very poorly written instructions. :ick:
Dianne said,
The pattern said,
Dec 1 st at the beg and end of the next and every foll 4th row X number of times, 81 (93:103, etc) sts remain.
Well gosh, this certainly shakes my faith in Sirdar. I always think of their patterns as so explicit. It is an unconventional pattern direction but I am sorry for contributing to the confusion.
All the best with the rest of it. It's really a lovely pattern.

Only problem I experienced was the twin set was not large enough to fit the twin bed, and had only one sham (tried to find another matching one but nothing that came close), ordered the full size and did get the fit I was looking for with the additional sham.
This is the second set I have purchased from Overstock. The quilt is so soft and just the right weight. Colors are beautiful and it washes like a dream!! I wish I had more beds so I could buy more of these sets!!!
I got this particular quilt because I had previously used a white down comforter (ooh...I loved it so much) for many years and had to replace it. I needed to get something with a busy pattern on it since, well, let's just say I have several cats (please let your imagination take it from here). This particular quilt matched the colors of my bedroom perfectly. I was concerned that it would look too 'girlie' and not fit into an adult's room. Happily, it looks fantastic in my room! Very sunny and bright. I saw one reviewer mention that the green flowers were actually gray, but I kind of disagree. To me, they are green but just a bit muted, which actually makes them look nicer. The two shams you get match the quilt, and there is an extra rectangular throw pillow that is eggplant purple which is cute for extra flair. The quilt itself is not very heavy, which I did not expect it to be. If you want something heavier, you'll have to get a comforter or of course something with down. This quilt is mainly for decoration plus a little warmth. I ended up getting a nice warm blanket as well, and the two together along with the blanket I already had should hopefully get me through next winter. I forgot to mention, the quilt is essentially reversible, with the second side being eggplant purple (yeah, that's a LOT of purple!) for a change of pace (or to hide a stain on the other side). I'm very happy with my purchase, especially since it is pretty good quality and I actually fell pretty quickly for the off-the-hook sunny and bright pattern when I wasn't sure I would. Who knew a quilt could make you smile!
this was raved about all night long by the 13 yr old girl who received this as an early x-mas gift....she "abhors anything pink", but loves purple...the photo makes the other flowers look greenish; this is misleading the actual colours are grape purple, light charcoal grey and black with the white background, the underneath/other side of the blanket is white...the construction of the quilt, 2 matching shams and the cute little grape coloured pillow with 3 silver dollared sized white pearlized buttons was "da bomb"...if anyone still says that!!! but it was and still is a big hit with the 13yr old....
This is a beautiful set. The colors are vibrant, the material is soft and I've washed it twice and it still looks brand new. The bonus accent pillow is also made very well. I would definitely buy it again.
Good quality...looks expensive too.
My granddaughter loves this.
Just light up my spare bedroom that my granddaughter uses.
I bought this back in December 2013 for my guest bedroom. I still love love this. I bought the full size fits my full size bed well. Holds up good to washing as well.
My daughter wanted a purple room, so we selected the quilt first, then matched the paint to the colors in the quilt. It looks beautiful, and the quilt is just the right weight and style. We both love it!
LOVE these comforters. They are a perfect fit for a regular twin and would be WAY too short for a twin Xlong. Stitching is nice, microfiber is nice, and a nice weight, which drapes nicely on the bed. Pillows slip easily into the shams and will take an overstuffed pillow. Small purple pillow has checkerboard cuts to resemble a jewel. It's a nice set that really brightens up the room. ( I would have given it 5 stars if it had been a little longer to fit a TXL)
Love it, Love it. A friend of mine came to visit and the first thing she said is I love your quilt. It beautifies my bedroom. I will recommend this.
This quilt set is so colorful and happy and everyone who sees it loves it!
This is shown under the teenagers section......It is definitely not just for teens. I bought it for my bedroom and it looks great. Bought a grey sheet set to go with it. Colors in the quilt are purple , grey, and white and brighten up the whole bedroom. Unfortunately...though the price was good. I see that today they have taken another **** ......and i received my quilt just yesterday.....
This has a great look and soft supple feel to the fabric. I washed it before putting it on the bed and it came out really well. It is lightweight, which is great for us. When needed, another blanket can be layered with it. If it continues to wear well and wash well, I would rate it excellent in all categories.
Product is is made well for the price. Colors are vibrant and true to pictures
Comfy on top of my down quilt...lightweight and beautiful. Very pretty and cheers up my lavender room. Love it!
It looks wonderful and I love it. This is a nice set for my guest room
The color of the quilt was just like te picture. Bold and vibrant which was a wonderful surprise. The quilt was a good price and will order again off Overstock.
I Love this quilt comforter. It is nice and bright like the picture shows and good quality. Not thin, no seems coming undone. I am very pleased with the price and value of this item!

About the Book
"Deepak Chopra's story is an inspiring gift for those who truly care and have the courage to seek."
—Michael Baigent, author of The Jesus Papers
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The founder of The Chopra Center and the preeminent teacher of Eastern philosophy to the Western World, Deepak Chopra gives us the story of the man who became Messiah in his phenomenal New York Times bestseller Jesus. The author who illuminated the life of Buddha now offers readers an unparalleled portrait of Jesus Christ, from carpenter's son to revolutionary leader, that is fresh and inspiring—a remarkable retelling of the greatest story ever told.
The New York Times bestselling author of Buddha captures the extraordinary life of Jesus in this surprising, soul-stirring, and page-turning novel. Uncovering the transformational "lost years" that are not recounted in the New Testament, Deepak Chopra has imagined Jesus's path to enlightenment moving from obscurity to revolutionary, from doubt to miracles, and then beyond as the role of the long-awaited Messiah. As a teenager, Jesus has premonitions of his destiny, and by the end, as he arrives to be baptized in the River Jordan, he has accepted his fate, which combines extremes of light and darkness.
With his characteristic ability for imparting profound spiritual insights through the power of storytelling, Deepak Chopra's Jesus portrays the life of Christ as never before, ultimately leading us closer to understanding the nature of God and the soul. As the author shares, "I don't want the Jesus in this book to be worshiped, much less to push him forward as definitive. The events of the tale are pure fiction. But at a deeper level, the Jesus in this book feels real because we've gotten a glimpse into his mind. One flash of insight answers many prayers."

"A gripping tale of one man's archetypal journey through confusion, doubt, and despair to self-annihilation and the realization of his true identity as the 'light of the world.'" — Eckhart Tolle, author of A New Earth and The Power of Now
"Once again, Deepak Chopra combines spirituality with dramatic narrative to breathe new life into a story that we all assumed we knew. This unique and intriguing story inspires as well as educates. Chopra's JESUS is every bit as compelling as his groundbreaking retelling of BUDDHA." — Tim Kring, creator of Heroes & Crossing Jordan
"A la the Da Vinci Code, this thought-provoking tale is sure to ignite exciting questions and controversy." — Jill Gregory, co-author of the international bestseller THE BOOK OF NAMES and the forthcoming thriller THE ILLUMINATION
"It is such an original and intriguing approach to imagine which Jesus was 'left out of the bible.' Chopra's novel is a fascinating read." — Petru Popescu, author of the forthcoming GIRL MARY
"If you think all that could be said about Jesus has already been said, then this book will be an eye opener in the best and truest sense of those words. Do a major favor to your soul and read it." — Miceal Ledwith, L.Ph., L.D., D.D., LL.D, former member of the Vatican's International Theological Commission and co-author of THE ORB PROJECT
"Deepak takes on the story of Jesus in a way that is both respectful and common. If as a Christian you are afraid of what is inside these pages, don't be. It quietly succeeded in restoring my faith in my own faith." — Kevin Costner
"In Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment, Deepak Chopra dares us to ponder paradigms imbedded deep within our very DNA and question unquestionable truths. Chopra introduces a breathtaking epistemology that is altogether fresh and divine. His powerful revelation threatens our ability to live our lives in darkness." — Cheryl Woodcock, Correspondent & Producer, Entertainment Tonight & The Insider
"We journey with a very human Jesus through a tough and turbulent landscape to discover his greatest message, that of personal transformation and enlightenment. Deepak Chopra's story is an inspiring gift for those who truly care and have the courage to seek." — Michael Baigent, author of The Jesus Papers
As a Jew I was taught to reject Jesus. As a mystic I was drawn to his light. This brave book invites me to approach Jesus anew, with great curiosity and a humble heart, and to love him, in the end, as my Self." — Raphael Cushnir, author of THE ONE THING HOLDING YOU BACK
