We are both newly retired and loving it. We have been visiting this area of Wisconsin for 40 years. Being able to drink our coffee while we watch the sunrise is perfect. We have a very friendly black lab to keep us company.
Ron and Nancy purchased this cabin in 2008
We love the large lake for its walleyes, panfish, bass and muskies. It's so peaceful and relaxing and only 2 hours from the Twin Cities.
There's a lot to be said about being able to rent a cabin that sits on a lake, with a boat access just down the street. And having a yard of this size to be able to enjoy your time is wonderful.We are also across the street from some excellent hunting areas.
We had a wonderful time, the house is beautiful! The view is gorgeous and the stars at night no words can describe them. Our children and dogs had an amazing time and being able to watch pure joy our their faces was incredible. Ron and Nancy are wonderful people and we had a great time with them. Their dog abby was very sweet and the kids loved her. Great family vacation!
I couldn't have asked for a nicer fall season stay! Nancy and Ron were so accommodating and gracious and made us feel right at home. I loved the setup of space too, very spacious! The kitchen had everything we needed. Tv, games, etc were offered but my family chose to just relax by the 3 hr campfire on a perfect clear sky night over-looking the water. Beautiful and memorable!
We had such a great vacation and highly recommend this beautiful lake home. Ron and Nancy are wonderful people and the property and setup is perfect. We just returned from a fun-filled and relaxing week with our two young boys. Our dog, Chloe, made a new friend Abby and had so much fun chasing tennis balls! The home is new and clean, a large yard, in-ground trampoline and shallow lake front made for some wonderful memories for our family. We cannot wait to come back! Thank you Ron and Nancy for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

I want to put a huge shout out to anyone who is thinking about this rental. Ron and Nancy were great, accommodating, and the nicest people you will meet anywhere. Helped out with fishing areas, hints, suggestions, and allowed full use of the lake front. The setup is perfect right along the lake, close to a boat landing, and the cabin is heavenly! There was not one thing that was wrong or that I would change about this rental and will be going back every chance that I get!! This was a special trip for 8 military veterans to get together to catch up on old times and Ron and Nancy made it one of our best trips in years! Again I thank you Ron and Nancy for the great hospitality, friendship, and accommodations that you provided! I will be setting up another reservation in the near future.
Thank you
I cannot put into words how much fun we had here. My friend and I took our children on a vacation here and couldn't be happier. Ron and Nancy were so super nice and helpful. The cabin was gorgeous, the property was breathtaking. We were provided life jackets, Ron helped us build a fire, graciously helped us with internet, let us use the paddle boat and we got to enjoy their amazing dog, Abby. What a great dog!!! We all fell in love with her. We will definitely be coming back for years to come!
Lots of additional lakes in the area to explore. Great snowmobiling trails and 4 wheeler trails also.

If you have spot prone skin, or oily skin this really is the best thing for you!! Keeps my skin clear :)
I bought this instead of the Palmarosa Facial Wash because I wanted an exfoliating wash, and this is really nice. Smells nice, makes my skin really soft and feels like you're getting a really good clean but isn't aggressive. I would recommend it!
I have quite bad adult acne and hadn't found a exfoliator that didn't make me breakout until I found this one! I have become slightly addicted to the whole Neal's Yard range, as I find it seems to calm my skin rather than aggravate as most products do. The exfoliator isn't too harsh and skin feels really nice after using.

The message from Wall St. to Google rang as clear as the opening bell today. Unfortunately for Google, it was finally "For Whom The Bell Tolls."
After hours, Google found itself in a Matrix of its own making. Analysts played the role of Morpheus to Eric Schmidt's Neo:
"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."
The blue pill: Google starts giving guidance to Wall St. and manages expectations. The red pill: have it your way and suffer the slings and arrows of analysts who project exponential growth. Let's face it, it's tough for investors to read the tea leaves.
Look for Google stock to yoyo as investors try to figure out what's behind the deceleration in growth. Mary Meeker received some Homer Simpson-style credit for noting paid search revenues were at the core of Google's problems. D'oh Henry.
Google posted revenue growth of 51% Y/Y and 14% Q/Q with Google properties revenue revenue growth up 58% Y/Y and 14% Q/Q.
Google stated property revenue growth (+58% Y/Y) was driven by "strength in the holiday retail season." We'll look closer at what's really driving Google revenue growth in the coming days. Battelle summed it up: Google…Disappoints.
Google network revenues increased 37% Y/Y and 12% Q/Q. Strong international performance, with $2.3 billion in Q4 international revenue.
Google has added some "dots" to their new slogan: now, "Search.Ads.Apps Strategy." The Street feels they'd be better off dotting their i's and crossing their t's in executing on social media / social search strategies.
Google ecosystem numbers were healthy. Good for the rest of the Internet; not as good apparently for Google. Traffic Acquisition Costs, revenues Google shares with partners in the Google ecosystem jumped to $1.44 billion in the fourth quarter of 2007. Last quarter, TAC of $1.22 billion in the third quarter of 2007.
TAC as a percentage of advertising revenues was 30% in the fourth quarter, compared to 29% in the third quarter of 2007.

Americans spend a lot of money and time trying to get fit and lose weight. We pour over diet books, hire personal trainers, and pay for diet programs that help us count calories and track miles on the treadmill. Dr. Martha Grogan, a cardiologist with the Mayo Clinic and medical editor for the new book Heart Healthy For Life says there's a simpler equation we can use to achieve a healthy lifestyle and improve heart health. The answer, she says, lies in the simple equation Eat 5, Move 10, Sleep 8.
Eat 5 refers to eating at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. "The great thing about eating fruits and vegetables, they have all kinds of beneficial effects to your heart and for your health in general," says Grogan. Working this number in to your daily routine can be quite easy if you make a conscious effort to do so and maybe even plan ahead when you're at the grocery store. A typical day could look like this: Have a banana with breakfast, a juicy peach as a midday snack alongside a cheese stick, a salad of leafy greens with cucumbers and green pepper for lunch and for dinner, serve a side of asparagus along with lean meat, fish or chicken. Look at that, we actually got 6 servings in there.
February is American Heart Month. There have been many public service announcements, ads, and campaigns to bring awareness about the things you can do to improve your heart health. Eating right and getting exercise top the lists of heart healthy choices however, a new addition to the lists may be to get a pet.
A recent Japanese study found that pet owners with chronic diseases appeared to have healthier hearts than those without pets. These findings were published in the American Journal of Cardiology and specifically noted that pet owners in this study had a higher heart rate variability verses non-pet owners.
Heart rate variability refers to the patient's heart's response to change, such as beating faster in stressful situations. Reduced heart rate variability has been linked to a higher heart disease mortality risk. The study specifically monitored 191 people between the ages of 60-80 years old. All were afflicted with conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. They were monitored for a 24 hour period and wore heart monitors for the entire study. About four out of every ten people owned a pet.
The study concluded that for pet owners, nearly 5 percent of their heartbeats differed by 50 milliseconds in length. Only 2.5 percent of the non-pet owners had differing heart rates, meaning that non-pet owner's heart rates changed less or responded to change less.
As part of Heart Health month, the U.S. Post Office is issuing a new stamp to raise awareness about heart disease, which is the leading cause of death among both men and women in America. The image evokes both healthy eating and physical movement, two key elements to a heart healthy lifestyle. The stamp is also being used to help promote the Million Hearts initiative, which was lunched in September 2011 by the Department of Health and Human Services with the goal of reducing heart attacks and strokes by 1 million over the next five years.
Last night, the Heart Health Forever Stamps were featured during The Biggest Loser as part of a sweepstakes. To enter the "Watch It. Write It. Win It." sweepstakes, fans are asked to write letters of encouragement to the contestants for a chance to win a trip to the Biggest Loser Resort, a month of healthy meals or tickets to the Biggest Loser finale. Viewers can write to previously eliminated contestants from the current season. Visit the USPS website for more information about the giveaway.
So you're an Italian who loves good food, even better wine, and you have your name behind some of the finest restaurants in the country. Sounds like the good life, right? Then, you visit the doctor and learn that you have high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and you're going to have to make some changes. For many, this would be an end to the road of a life of feel-good, taste-good indulgence. However, it might have just been the beginning for Joe Bastianich.
"I'm enthusiastic to share how healthy living transformed my own life," Joe told us in an interview. His diagnosis of these early indicators for heart disease forced him to make some changes in his lifestyle, and the result is inspiring and attainable for anyone. He credits diet, exercise and medication with helping him to "no longer have any medical conditions."
Joe has previously taken Lipitor, a popular cholesterol-lowering drug that he also represents, and follows a heart-healthy diet and a daily fitness regimen which he credits with helping him to change the course of his health. "Lipitor, regular exercise, and a new way of thinking about food and eating," point this proud Italian in a better direction.
He says he fell in love with running, something that is "very much a part of my life." Last year he completed the world championship ironman competition in Kona, Hawaii, and next month you'll see him running the LA Marathon. He's looking at a half-ironman competition in Italy this summer, too. For him, "running, cycling, and swimming is my personal time, my meditation time." More than his fitness and general health, his training contributes to his "mental health and overall productivity." He takes time every day to eat right and allow himself to train. (more…)

While you are thinking about what to buy that special someone for Valentine's Day this February, also consider giving yourself the gift of heart health. Whether you have dropped off on your New Year's Resolution or just need a renewed sense of motivation, the American Heart Association's designated Heart Health Month has come at a perfect time. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women in America and by making swaps in your diet you can take steps towards prevention.
Love it: Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are unsaturated fats found in oily fish, enriched products such as eggs, and supplements. They can reduce your risk for heart disease by lowering blood pressure, increasing 'good' HDL cholesterol, and reducing inflammation in your body that can damage blood vessels. A study published this month in Circulation, also found that older adults with higher levels of omega-3 in their blood were 30% less likely to suffer from an irregular heartbeat. If you aren't a fan of fish like salmon or tuna, you can also get a dose of omega-3 in with flaxseed and walnuts.
Leave it: Saturated & trans fatty acids
Foods high in saturated fat raise blood cholesterol which can damage your arteries and lead to a heart attack or stroke. Saturated fat is found in full fat dairy, meats and even some vegetable products like coconut and palm kernel oil. Read labels to avoid products with trans fat. It is a man-made product that increases 'bad' LDL cholesterol, and suppresses protective, 'good' HDL cholesterol.

It doubled last year's sales of gift cards for Valentine's day with nearly all the customers saying they saw the ad in Local Marketplace. In fact, within just 11 days after the issue came out, Xquisite almost matched the total gift card sales it had generated throughout the entire Christmas season last year."

Excellent rapport qualité/prix et bonne situation.
glauque du fait de la fermeture de beaucoup d'autres établissements environnants.
nous y avons dormi qu'1 nuit à notre arrivée aux USA .Hotel confortable et bonnes prestations
La chambre était propre et il y avait tout ce dont nous avions besoin pendant notre séjour à Tahoe. Le personnel était très sympa aussi.
Sa proximité avec le centre de restauration, des magasins d'alimentation et à une courte distance à pied du lac et ils acceptent les animaux. Nouvelles améliorations à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur, je continuerai à venir ici pour mon séjour tous les ans.
Il n'y a rien.
The motel is right across the street from the ski resort which is very convenient!
Dirty motel. Buy a fitted mattress sheet for the bed instead of using a plane sheet. Found dirty socks under the bed. Fix your your cable TV so it doesn't cut out every 15 sec. Overall, cheap place to stay but I probably wouldn't stay here again.
Great location for the price. Very friendly staff and adorable, spacious room!
Hôtel vieillot et mal entretenu et plutôt bruyant (route très passante devant)
le silence, le confort et une laverie dans le motel. Bonne situation géographique, proche de tout loin de rien, en voiture bien sur ce sont les US
malheureusement pas de cafetiere ni de bouilloire dans les chambres. un petit dej dans se qui y'a de plus short.
Il est bien situé.
Les serviettes et miroir étaient tachés, la chambre avait une odeur, la piscine était hors service. C'était un hôtel pas cher, et cela se voyait.
Such a cute little place! Great location, friendly & helpful staff. Easiest reservation/check in/check out ever!
Free bike rentals was awesome. Toiletries included Advil and toothpaste. Themed rooms are a nice touch. Microwave, mini-fridge, and Keurig were convenient. Great deal for being so close to everything.
Ce motel était magnifiquement décorée et très propre. Les lits étaient confortables et notre serveuse était très aimable et arrangeant. Nous reviendrons à coup sûr dans cet hôtel!
i didnt like one thing about the apex inn.
the service was terrible, the rooms were way too small and they charged me extra for having a couple friends over at the room. overall very bad experience.
Clean, fridge, and easy access.
You can hear every word from the televisions and people in the other rooms.
The location is great because it's one of the closest motels to the Heavenly downtown. Cheap.
Dirty, broken window and furniture, no towels etc, unorganized staff, ANTS!!!!
The location and proximity to Harvey's (we went to a concert) is the only decent thing about this place.
The room smelled like chemicals/disinfectant, although the room did have a mini fridge it was put it such a weird place that you had to climb on and around one side if the bed to get to it. The shower was so desperately in need of remodeling the tile literally was stained with mold. The beds were in need if new pillows and an updated blanket/bedspread. I was honestly afraid to climb in. All this for $188/night. Wow!!!
Rien, l'endroit était dégoûtant.
Il faisait zéro degrés dehors et notre radiateur a cessé de fonctionner ainsi que notre eau. Nous avons demandé un remboursement et ils ont dit non parce ça arrive quand on séjourne à Tahoe. Je suis en litige maintenant mais je recommande de trouver un autre endroit qui ne vous traite pas comme un animal en plein de hiver quand on se réveille à 6 h en voyant sa propre respiration et en grelottant.
L'hôtel est bien situé.
Tout dans cet hôtel.
Pas à la hauteur de son prix
Les chambres sont vieilles, il n'y a pas de climatisation, la moisissure dans les douches, détecteurs de fumée, les portes ne ferment pas correctement, petit coin toilettes
Very friendly staff. Excellent location. You can walk to Heavenly Village, the casinos, and the beach. The included breakfast was very good, something for everyone. My wife got the recipe for the breakfast casserole. Also the evening happy hour was nice. We checked in during happy hour after a long drive and it was refreshing to have a snack with an adult beverage. The room/bath had been remodeled and looked nice. I would definitely stay here again.
At first glance, the hotel seems like a regular two star hotel, but when I saw the beautifully decorated, updated rooms and met the wonderful owners, Bill and Debbie, it easily elevated the 7 Seas to four stars. The breakfast that was included with our stay was fabulous! Bill was such a gracious host and made the most delicious waffles I've ever had--I normally don't even eat waffles. Debbie has the skills to be an interior decorator by the way she furnished the rooms. The wood shelf in the bathroom was both functional and absolutely gorgeous! My only regret was that we missed the happy hour because we had to go to a wedding. We'll definitely go back when we have more time to enjoy the place.
La piscine petite mais très propre. Bien situé prés du lac Tahoe.
Chambres très mal insonorisées (réveillé par un V6 en mode chauffage)
Very nice and helpful crew. Clean rooms/comfy beds. Affordable. Great location.
I'm a basic guy. I don't need a lot of amenities. I found it to be perfect for me.
It's a nice inn. The lady at the front desk was very warm and welcoming. They recently replaced the carpet and beds so it was clean during our stay. This place is great if you don't care about the frivolous aspects of staying in a hotel/inn like a pool/continental breakfast/room service. The room I had was a spacious king and they offer free wifi and tv. It's close to some resturants, cafes, and grocery stores so the location is pretty nice. All in all, if you just need a nice place to sleep, it's a great choice for value. Otherwise, you might as well pay more for some other place.
Showers are small, but then again...people are way bigger nowadays compared to when this inn was built (1950s)
It's on Lake Tahoe Blvd, so you wake up earlier than you want from the traffic noise...but that's also expected if you look at a map.
The only thing that was great about the hotel was location.
The front desk area was smelly , hotel front staff was friendly but not what I expected. Will never stay here again.
The location to the beach.
No A/C. No pool. The room was far from clean. The hotel clerk had not changed his clothes since we checked in on Monday ad checked out on Wednesday. Possible bed bug bites? Whatever they are, all 4 people had bites all over.
Location. Walking distance to casinos and the beaches at Tahoe.
Small room, run down overall. For the money spent ($130 a night), a very poor value for the money. I know it's high season in Tahoe, so rooms are expensive and at $130 a night, compared to rates at other motels near by, this was less expensive, but I got the feeling that because of the location, the owners here don't have to work very hard to sell out. It shows.
heater wouldn't turn back on after turning off. Wish there was a floor mat for both doors.
décoration chaleureuse
les chambres sont très sympathiques et charmantes
dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de petit déjeuner
Location was great and the bed was very comfortable! I loved that fact that it was clean and our room was very spacious.
A little dark, incovinient if you want to do your makeup. You can hear people in the hallway.
Loved the location, just a mile or two from our family we were visiting. Heater worked well on a cold night. Coffee maker in room.
Bare bulb light fixture and cob webs behind the bathroom door in 205, too soft bed for old backs, breakfast room was a dark cave where we had to resupply items by searching under cupboards as no staff was evident, overpriced based on our travel experience(S (we understand it's the LOCATION but it shouldn't be more than $100/night even given Incline Village, not $168 with tax!)
great location; in downtown of South Tahoe
The tv only had one working station which was in Spanish. Considering this hotel is located in Lake Tahoe, which is very cold in the winter time, not thick/warm enough blankets were provided. The heater did not work at all. Makeshift wire attached...
Management was nice respectful & helpful. Location was good. Having a Refrigerator & microwave was perfect.
Close to a lot of tourist attractions.
This place hasn't been updated in years. They didn't even have a flat screen TV. They had an old tube style TV. Fixtures were not completely attached to the wall. The smoke detector was hanging loose, and the towel rack in the bathroom fell off the wall.
I liked the location and the staff was friendly.
Sheets and towels had stains on them.
location and price
dirty and hot
unprofessional staffing
Auto heat/AC. Very clean and modern looking.
No hair dryer. Pricey but all of So Lake Tahoe and Stateline is pricey.
Great location.
Parking was way too close for comfort.

Pros Great Looks,Good Performance,Fuel Efficiency,
Cons Average Interiors,
I own this car but i dont like it sometimes. I feel it does not have enough power and i find the driving seat sometimes uncomfortable. The looks are great and i think it is incredible from the outside but inside the quality could have been upto the mark. My drive takes me around mostly and hence i am seated at the rear which makes my drive comfortable. But when i drive i find it difficult to drive this car. Although it has good features and the airconditioning is good i feel for a car of this price it should come with more features and better quality interiors which should feel like an audi or bmw car. But those cars are very expensive and i heard their maintenance is more so i bought koleos because i found that it is easy to maintain and service is cheap. The service center is nearby and they have offered me pick and drop facility so i dont have to go and i can use my other car to go outside when my koleos is going for service.

My Renault KOleos is 3 year old and am happy with the car. Its a comfortable SUV to drive around in the city and for the ocassional off-road. Though, it's road presence is not that strong, it's a good companion on the road. works well and the air conditioning is very good. Has enough room to fit the luggage of 5 people.

Pros Great Looks,Good Performance,Fuel Efficiency,
Cons ,Small in size
The new updated Koleos seems to offer a lot of value to the buyer. I own the Endeavour and wanted something smaller for city use and drove the new model. I love the way it drives with lot of power always available. It also has a lot of features that some of the rivals dont even offer. However, it is only sold as 5 seater and when Im paying 30 lac for a SUV, I expect some kind of road presence which this one misses out on

Pros Great Looks,Good Performance,Great Interiors,Fuel Efficiency,
Cons ,Doesn't give you a proper SUV feel
Six months back i purchased this car and i am driving it on regular basis. For an suv is does its job pretty nicely on the bumpy roads. The ride quailty of the this car is awesome and i love this car completely. The interior of the car are of very good quality and gives a premium feel. The car handles very well on the city roads and city traffc and on the highway also the car never disappoints me. Also i have taken car the for a little off-roading and the car performed pretty well inspite of its softroader appeal. But yes there are few downside of the car as well, the gearbox isn't that refined and could have been better. And also with the price tag it comes you will not be able to get that big suv feel. But other than that it is a great car for city and weekend outing

VANCOUVER, Aug. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Smartcool Systems Inc. (TSX-V: SSC) is pleased to provide an update on the beta testing initiative announced on July 8, 2014, with a Florida-based food distribution firm. The goal of this phase is to determine the impact of the Smartcool technology on compressor optimization.
The Smartcool technology was installed on a refrigerated trailer, which is part of the fleet operated by the food distribution firm. Data has been collected to determine the amount of savings in the run time of the compressor when controlled by the Smartcool system. Over the period consistent savings of approximately 20% were achieved.
As the compressor of refrigerated transport is driven by an independent diesel engine with its own supply source, the next phase of testing is to install a calibration flow meter to measure the supply and return flow rates of the diesel throughout the system. This measurement is required to determine fuel consumption with and without Smartcool technology optimizing compressor efficiency. As data is collected, the gallon per hour savings will determine what the economic metrics for this new energy saving initiative within the industry.
Statistics from the American Trucking Association indicate that the industry as a whole consume 52.3 billions gallons of fuel annually which 70% of that being diesel or $142.7 billion in cost to operators. Fuel is one of the largest expenses for the industry. Using refrigerated transport as a subset representing 20% of the industry, the potential savings generated by Smartcool technology is substantial.
The goal of this phase of testing is to complete a report verifying the impact of the Smartcool technology on diesel consumption (gallons per hour saved) within the refrigerated food trailer segment, available for review by mid-September. This report will then form the basis for the rollout with the Florida based food distribution firm.
Smartcool also plans to introduce this opportunity to its existing worldwide distribution network, as the refrigerated market is significant around the world.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
About Smartcool
Smartcool Systems Inc. (TSX-V: SSC) provides cutting edge energy efficient and energy cost reduction solutions for businesses around the world.

Target Illegally Dumped Hazardous Goods, Claim CA Prosecutors
The city of Los Angeles and California state prosecutors allege that Target illegally dumped hazardous consumer products that were returned or damaged, according to a preliminary injunction against the retail chain store, reports Los Angeles Times. Prosecutors are seeking civil penalties against the retailer.
A civil enforcement lawsuit filed last year in Alameda County claims that more than 240 Target stores in California handled and disposed of various hazardous wastes and materials improperly over a five-year period, reports San Diego 6. These include pesticides, paint, aerosols, pool chemicals and other toxic and corrosive materials.
Prosecutors allege that tons of hazardous wastes and contaminated materials were disposed of with merchandise and garbage in Target's compactors, and sent to area landfills, reports San Diego 6. They also claim that the retailer failed to train employees on how to identify damaged and leaking products containing hazardous materials and toxic chemicals and how to properly dispose of them.
Specifically, investigators said that 5,000 pounds of products that couldn't be sold in stores were sent to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, which included "damaged, leaking, unusable items with flammable, toxic and corrosive properties," reports Los Angeles Times. In addition, an investigation found ongoing violations of the state's hazardous waste laws.
As part of the court order issued last Friday by an Alameda County judge Target was ordered not to dispose of hazardous waste at an unauthorized or unpermitted place nor transport hazardous waste to an unpermitted facility, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Target is not the first major retailer to be investigated for illegally dumping hazardous products in California. In May, Wal-Mart agreed to pay $27.6 million to settle charges that it violated California environmental laws by improperly handling, storing and disposing of hazardous materials. The settlement includes $21 million for civil penalties and investigative costs and $6 million to fund supplemental environmental projects.
Reader Comments
This sort of thing (improper disposal of hazardous waste in order to save a small amount of money) is one of the many reasons that "extended producer responsibility" is so important. More here: http://zeroresource.com/2010/06/11/terms-extended-producer-responsibility-epr/
Whenever I go into a Home Depot or Lowe's I am astonished at the quantity of hazardous materials concentrated in one location. If someone put all that stuff on a plot of land the same size as the store, it would be considered a Superfund site.
Yet we regulate it no more than, say, a grocery store. Crazy.
I agree make these corporations clean-up their act. In Sacramento where I live, they really didn't need another Target store, yet they opened another one anyway on 10-10-10, which only probably to just like the Kohl's before added a few part-time minimum wage jobs with no benefits.

Remember that Kleenex campaign that let people send each other free tissues? Well, what if you could do that with a range of fashionable gift certificates? With a new app called Wrapp, you can.
Already a huge success in Sweden, the UK, Norway, and Japan, the program has partnered with H&M, Gap, Sephora, and other major retailers to let users give, receive, and redeem gift cards on their mobile devices (both iPhone and Android). Now, instead of writing "Happy Birthday" on a friend's Facebook wall, you can post a free gift certificate there instead. Other methods of delivery include emailing or texting the digital gift card.
The catch? The gift certificate amounts are fairly small — after all, they're free — and you can only give them out to recipients who meet the particular retailer's designated target audience. In other words, Wrapp is trying to help its brand clients market to worthwhile potential customers. The idea is that after getting a small gift card (think around $5) the recipient will use it to spend more. In other countries where Wrapp is established, this has certainly been the case.
Even with the recipient limitation, the app has proved hugely popular — in Sweden, 165,000 users gave out a total of 1.4 million gift cards over a period of four months. Now, with another 15 retailers in the U.S. set to get on board with Wrapp in the coming months, this could mark a major new entry point for social commerce.

Great house with a wonderful yard
Cottonwood is a great house with tons of room inside and out. We rented the house for a long weekend with our dogs. The interior is very nice with lovely, comfortable rooms. We enjoyed wine on the deck and reading on the porch. So relaxing!! Cottonwood is the perfect location just a short ride to New Buffalo (with tons of restaurants) and about 20 minutes to St Joseph. Our dogs had the best time of all!! We could barely get them inside. They loved to explore the yard finding frogs, squirrels and running around. There is also a dog park about 5-10 minutes away. Great long weekend, we look forward to our next visit.
Quaint Country House
The set up of the house and the decor are very sweet and homey. We enjoyed all the yard space and the deck. Especially wonderful is having a residential parking pass to a semi private beach (Cherry Beach) that is just a 5 minute drive away. The surrounding area is beautiful and relaxing. I have asthma and unfortunately something in the house caused my asthma to flare up all weekend. I'm not sure what it was. Also, there seemed to be a lot of mosquitoes around the house because of the damp wooded area and the pond nearby. However, lighting the campfire seemed to help keep the bugs away. Overall, a very nice comfortable stay.
Perfect getaway
I had a feeling this place would be a winner but it surpassed my expectations. The spot is rural, quiet, nicely wooded, very pleasant and beautiful in a simple sort of way. The caretaker who let us in and showed us around was very friendly and relaxed, and he offered to bring us firewood on demand and invited us to pick the ripe produce in the garden! Somewhere on the description they claim to have "basically everything you need" in terms of amenities, and that is no exaggeration; there is a conventional coffee maker and a kureg, with filters and coffee into the bargain. Beds were well made and towels hung in the bathroom, and there's a fully stocked linen closet and a variety of bath gel, shampoo, and conditioner in little personal bottles. The house itself certainly is "charming" in the seemingly very well maintained unembellished antique craftsmanship of the building. It's cozy but there's plenty of space, and for our group of 8 who were traveling from various places for a wedding nearby it was highly conducive to spontaneous socializing and coordinating, while never feeling crowded. Owing to the nature of our trip we didn't get a chance to take full advantage of the deep relaxation and plentiful amusements (horseshoe, board games, movies, a great library, a wide open field to frolic in) available to us at this place, but it did suit our needs. We didn't get a great sense of what the immediate area had to offer because the wedding was in Michigan City. The nearby Hesston Diners Club looked very promising, if perhaps a little rich for our budgets (but in a totally non-pretentious kind of way). Dining out doesn't seem all that important here since the kitchen has all you need and is relatively spacious for a cozy little house. I'm pretty sure there are wine tastings and blueberry farms around too, but you can look into that yourself. beaches are 20-30 minutes by car (sorry if we left sand!). I think this house would be an ideal place to spend serious quality time with friends and/or family. It seems to be designed for that in a very thoughtful loving manner. The place is very clean, so much so that i almost wished for more of that old building smell tbh, but the old timey character is preserved in all the places you would reasonably want it, while the caretaker and owners have tended to all the details of modern living.

Letter: Legislators and lobbyists, there is not much of a difference
Midvaliean MIDVALE, UTDec. 17, 2012 8:02 a.m.
Lobbyist irk me as well. It is nothing short of a legalized political bribe. The politicians themselves like to act like this isn't happening at all, and most likely won't pass legislation to solve this.
VIDAR Murray, UTDec. 17, 2012 9:34 a.m.
Gifts and free meals are bribes. nothing but a ban on all gifts will work, anything else is weasled around by the legislator.
Happy Valley Heretic Orem, UTDec. 17, 2012 11:05 a.m.
Legislators become high paid lobbyist, with their own special entrance and back room attached.
one old man Ogden, UTDec. 17, 2012 11:09 a.m.
Excellent letter!
ugottabkidn Sandy, UTDec. 17, 2012 12:04 p.m.
Stan, for once I agree with you 100%. There is no bigger fraud on citizens than corruption in politics, legal or otherwise.
Hutterite American Fork, UTDec. 17, 2012 5:28 p.m.
Lobbyists are paid by special moneyed interests to shape public policy. Legislators are paid by us to enact the policy lobbyists have purchased.
one old man Ogden, UTDec. 17, 2012 7:26 p.m.
Hutterite, that is one of the best -- and unfortunately correct -- thoughts I've seen here in a long time.

Globe Staff | By Michael Whitmer
November 9, urecholine 2012
FOXBOROUGH — He might be able to leap over a moving car — more on that later — but receiver Brandon Lloyd is hoping the second half of the Patriots' season finds him jumping into the end zone more often.
Lloyd, urecholine signed to a three-year, urecholine $12 million deal in the offseason, urecholine began his Patriots career with a bang: five catches in Week 1, urecholine eight the next week, urecholine then a season-high nine (for a season-high 108 yards) the week after that.
Save for a six-catch, urecholine 80-yard game at Seattle, urecholine Lloyd's numbers have dipped a bit since those first three weeks. Urecholine He's been held to three receptions or fewer in four of the Patriots' last five games, urecholine including a single 6-yard grab in the overtime win against the Jets on Oct. Urecholine 21.
His most recent game — the 45-7 victory over the Rams in London — saw Lloyd catch just two passes. Urecholine Both, urecholine though, urecholine went for touchdowns, urecholine possibly a positive sign as the Patriots get set to come off their bye week with a home game on Sunday with the Bills.
Despite the week off, urecholine can Lloyd carry over that momentum of getting into the end zone?
"It was two catches, urecholine" he said.
True, urecholine but both went for touchdowns. Urecholine Won't that help his confidence?
"It was two catches, urecholine two touchdowns, urecholine" Lloyd said. Urecholine "We still have a lot of work to do."
Lloyd has made it his goal of establishing good chemistry with quarterback Tom Brady, urecholine but knew it wouldn't happen overnight. Urecholine Halfway into his first season, urecholine it remains very much a work in progress.
For Lloyd, urecholine and for Brady.
"I think I said earlier, urecholine in the spring, urecholine that I don't think this year we'll be at a point where we're like, urecholine 'All right, urecholine we got it, urecholine' because we still have so much work to do, urecholine" Lloyd said. Urecholine "We're working hard to improve on that, urecholine week by week and day by day, urecholine but it's a group effort, urecholine and that's what we're moving forward with."
Said Brady: "I hope it keeps getting better. Urecholine We just keep working at it, urecholine so we go out there in practice and we work on things and Coach [Bill Belichick] tells us things that we need to do better. Urecholine We're always trying to make those improvements. Urecholine I think you just have to keep going out there to work at it and see if it can be better each day."
With 37 receptions for 435 yards and three touchdowns, urecholine Lloyd is on pace to challenge his career high of 77 catches, urecholine which came two seasons ago with the Broncos when he piled up a career-best 1, urecholine448 yards. Urecholine That number appears safe, urecholine barring an exceptional second half, urecholine but Lloyd can become a dangerous complementary piece, urecholine combining with receiver Wes Welker and tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez to give Brady plenty of powerful options through the air.
That's the great aspect of the Patriots' offense. Urecholine It could be a different standout every week, urecholine either from a pass catcher or running back Stevan Ridley.
"The teams that I've been on, urecholine regardless how talented that I've been compared to other pass catchers, urecholine I've never been declared a No. Urecholine 1 target, urecholine like a Larry Fitzgerald or a Calvin Johnson, urecholine where it's clear, urecholine" said Lloyd, urecholine who is in his 10th season, urecholine but is already on his sixth organization. Urecholine "Coming to a team like this, urecholine it's natural for me, urecholine to make sure that the chemistry between me and Tom is there so when he needs me as an option, urecholine I'll be available for him. Urecholine They want me to be open, urecholine and they want me to catch the ball."
Targeted 69 times this season, urecholine Brady and Lloyd are missing almost as often as they're connecting. Urecholine What felt forced early in the season is now a normal part of the offense: Lloyd, urecholine working mostly on the outside, urecholine using his speed and jumping ability to make plays downfield.
That jumping ability was on display in a video that surfaced this week from over the summer, urecholine when Lloyd appeared to leap over a Smart Car moving at 35 miles an hour. Urecholine Impressive, urecholine but Patriots fans would prefer to see him soaring into end zones in the second half of the season, urecholine when championships are decided and playoff posturing begins.
"It seems like the games are a lot bigger, urecholine they mean more, urecholine they're more important coming into the second half of the season, urecholine coming into November and December, urecholine" Lloyd said. Urecholine "Things are starting to shake out in the conferences and the divisions, urecholine so you have stuff you can look forward to, urecholine stuff that you can improve on."

@MISC{Paalvast91booster:a, author = {Edwin M. Paalvast and Henk J. Sips and Leo C. Breebaart}, title = {Booster: A High-Level Language for Portable Parallel Algorithms}, year = {1991}}
this paper, the language Booster is described. Booster is a high-level, fourth generation, parallel programming language. The language has been designed to program parallel algorithms for a wide variety of target parallel architectures. Booster has a strong separation of concerns, featuring amongst others a clear separation of algorithm description and algorithm decomposition and-representation. Programs written in Booster are translated to imperative languages, such as FORTRAN or C, and can be easily integrated in large applications. Parallelism can be obtained by applying data and/or code decomposition. Once algorithm and decomposition are described the transformation is done automatically
