Leveraged Loan Market Commentary 07/23/2010 0 commentsJul 30, 2010 5:11 PMOvernight Europe was firmer as Britain's economy grew more than expected last quarter helping to ease fears that the debt issues plaguing the EU would push them back in to recession. But, jitters over the stress tests pushed markets lower since the bank tests only apply to actively traded bond portfolios and don't include bonds held to maturity. With a flawed methodology it came as no surprise that only 7 out of 91 failed the tests and the results failed to reassure investors. US equities chopped along most of the day but closed higher after news broke that Genzyme was approached by Sanofi-Aventis SA about a possible takeover, giving investors hope that M&A activity is picking up. The Dow closed at 10,424.62 (+0.99%) and the S&P closed at 1,101.66 (+0.82%).It was just another summer Friday in the loan market. This morning some names came out an eighth firmer, but for the most the market was unchanged. The LCDX started the day out up an eighth at 95 7/8 – 96 1/8, but fell back to unchanged. Right now, technical's are the major driver pushing bids higher as the market anticipates prepayments from Swift, Spirit Finance, and Freescale and loan mutual funds continue to see inflows. Over the past three weeks the loan market has had close to $200 million in inflows. So, the path of least resistance is higher, for now, as loans continue to offer the best risk/reward profile and with uncertainty over the health of the EU we should continue to continue to attract cash. Have a great weekend.Headlines

The company said net income in the quarter was $2.6 billion, up $338 million from the year-earlier period. Revenue in the quarter was $31.3 billion, up $4.5 billion from 2Q09. Ford ended the quarter with total liquidity of $25.4 million. Automotive operating-related cash flow was $2.6 billion in the quarter.
- Container shipping company Horizon Lines Inc's said 2Q net income was $3.7 million, or 12 cents a share, compared with net loss of $31.1 million, or $1.02 a share, last year. Analysts on average expected earnings of 9 cents a share.

New Issue
- Harrah's Entertainment late yesterday announced it has submitted an application to the Kansas Lottery Commission for a proposed Harrah's casino resort in Mulvane. Highlights of the long term proposal include: a Las Vegas style casino, restaurants and a boutique hotel, including additional entertainment and meeting space.
- Education Management Corp.'s term loan C rose to 93.5-94.5 this morning after the U.S. Department of Education proposed a regulation to limit the ability of for-profit schools to graduate students with high debt-to-income ratios. The loan followed the company's stock, which has been trending higher throughout the week on rumors the proposal would be less onerous than previously feared. The company's stock rose more than 15% this morning. Education Management, a for-profit provider of educational services, operates 72 campuses across the U.S. and Canada, training 72,000 enrolled students in fields such as fashion, psychology and web site design.
- LNR Property's loan rose today after the company secured an extension of its forbearance agreement. The loan is currently quoted 95-96, up about one point. the company walked away from a planned refinancing loan earlier after pricing was bumped up to LIB+750 from LIB+550 with an OID in the 98 area, a 2% Libor floor and 101 call protection.
- Allscripts could upsize its $320 million, five-year term loan A and scrap the originally planned $250 million, six-year term loan B. The TLA and a $150 million, five-year revolving credit facility have been heavily oversubscribed. The final terms are expected to be out shortly. There will no need to tap the institutional loan market since the pro rata facilities are oversubscribed. Both the TLA and the revolver offer a spread of LIB+325 and the revolver comes with a 50bp commitment fee based on leverage ratio of 2.1 times. The minimum upfront fee is 50bp on commitments of less than $25 million. Commitments were due yesterday. The TLA repays in quarterly installments of: 1.25% in year 1, 2.5% in year 2. 3.75% in year 3, 5% in year 4, and 6.25% in year 5. The deal has an up to $250 million incremental facility. Financial covenants include a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.5 times and a maximum leverage ratio of four times. JP Morgan, Barclays Capital and UBS are leads on the financing backing the company's $1.3 billion all-stock acquisition of Eclipsys. The corporate family rating is Ba2/BB+ and the facility rating is Ba2/BBB-.
- NTELOS' $125 million add-on term loan is being offered at a 99.5 OID. Pricing is LIB+375 with a 2% Libor floor, the same as that on the issuer's existing loan. JP Morgan launched the deal today. NTELOS announced in a press release earlier that it will finance its $170 million acquisition of One Communications Corp's (NASDAQ:OCC) FiberNet business with the $125 million incremental term loan under its existing bank loan. The acquisition will also be funded through availability under the company's undrawn revolving credit facility and cash on hand.
High Yield
- Cedar Fair has upsized its term loan B by $25 million to $1.275 billion and downsized its revolving credit facility by the same amount to $275 million. In addition, pricing on the TLB has been flexed down to LIB+400 from LIB+425 amid strong demand. The 1.5% Libor floor and a 99 OID are unchanged. JP Morgan leads the deal. Earlier, the company upsized its eight-year note issue from $300 million to $405 million and priced it to yield 9.375%. With the company's issuance of bonds, senior secured leverage will drop to 3.6 times from 4.7 times. The corporate family rating is Ba3/B+, while the facility rating is Ba2/BB-.

It is unquestionably true that this century has witnessed greater advances in the knowledge of mental physiology than all the ages that have gone before. The nervous system and especially the cerebrum were, prior to this century, almost a terra incognita. We may not know more respecting the properties of mind than our forefathers did, but we understand as they could not the conditions of mental action.
The movement inaugurated by Gall and Spurzheim early in this century undoubtedly added a powerful stimulus to the study of mind. The doctrine of localizations in the brain then first was given formal statement. Although the body of teaching comprised under the name of phrenology was erroneous, there was some truth which gave the system the success which it for a time attained. Attention was powerfully directed to the physical correlatives of mind and the so-called mental faculties were analyzed and defined

This sunscreen has a texture like the Japanese ones, meaning it's a bit more "liquidy" and glides effortlessly across the skin. What this means for you is being able to spread it over your face without using too much motion (too much of which will irritates your skin). I am have weird skin that is sensitive to most sunscreens, they make me break out so much that I usually just forgo sunscreen until I found this one. The pigment in this actually provides a bit of coverage so it's perfect if you want a fuss-free routine in the morning. One con is that it does tend to look cakey over your dry spots during the course of the day if you don't add a stronger moisturizer over those spots before you apply this.
This moisturizer is great. I tend to have oily skin throughout the day and this moisturizer helps keep my skin stay balanced. The moisturizer has a tint to it that goes on very sheer but provides a nice even glow all throughout my face. It will be a staple product for me!

Escalations. Typical scenarios

I was woken up by an SMS at three a.m.
As many people know, HostTracker is a sites efficiency monitoring system. One of its main functions is to notify the user of any problems promptly. The efficiency of the notifications and the acceptable level of "detalization" are important. If you send alerts at each "sneeze", the person will not find the important information in this flow.
We have provided several mechanisms that will help the right people to get the necessary notifications:
There are three types of notifications:
The "dropped" and "rose" are clear. The notifications "site is still down" are sent at each test fail, but only at the confirmed drops. The fails confirmation algorithm was described in the article "False alerts exclusion"
For each site-contact pair you may enable or disable the appropriate notification type. The setting can be located in the contact properties as well as in the general "matrix" at the "Notifications subscribtion" page.
Escalation and the notifications detalization level.
Suppose, two people are responsible for the site:
Let's try to implement the following scenario:
Adding the contacts for the users. While adding, draw attention to the "Notification Delay" window.
We appear to have three contacts with the following delays:
According to this configuration the administrator will get all the failures notifications to the email, but SMS notifications will be sent only if the site is "down" for more then 15 minutes. The manager will receive only SMS about major failures lasting more than an hour. Setting up the contact working schedule
Suppose that one administrator can not cope, and we hired one more administrator. The first one works during the first half of the week, the second one works during the second half. Accordingly the notifications should be sent to the administrator "on duty" To set this scenario the window "Set the contact working hours" is used in the contact settings.
In this case the first administrator will receive the SMS notifications from Monday to Thursday inclusive. Additionally, you may divide the notification for different employees according to the time of day, for example appointing day and night administrators.
Conclusions: with the help of relatively simple mechanisms we may cover most notifications fine-tune user scenarios.

Those, who actively involved with the Web, should know Host Tracker, a company from Ukraine, which has been supporting one of the leading global web monitoring services since 2004. Its goal is to monitor site health and accessibility in near-real-time access. Using alert message system, Host Tracker allows to reduce downtimes, to improve quality of service for users, to quickly localize troubles, and etc.more
Architecturally, Host Tracker includes a server-based hub, acting both as a data collector and control center, and a series of software agents, launched in various regions – typically using the equipment operated by major providers, hosters and affiliates. The geographically distributed architecture provides common system reliability and also allows collecting data in terms of access speed, bandwidth and other key performance characteristics on regional level – a critically important feature for the international business.
The first version of Host Tracker, which is still functioning and providing services for tens of thousands of customers, was Linux based. Today, it is supported by nine control servers, located and organized in two DPCs on collocation principle, and few dozens of agents. Considering that the final objective of web monitoring is focused on increasing the uptime of client-based web resources – whereas 95% of Host Tracker customers were able to increase it up to 99% – then, performance and accessibility of the service itself are not just critical, but rather fundamental parameters that influence the whole business. Theoretically, Host Tracker should demonstrate accessibility close to 100%. However, an extensive growth of the service made this task hard to solve.
Host Tracker was facing constantly increasing network traffic – a problem for seamless operation of the service. Inability to add new control servers on-the-fly, difficulties when maintaining not uniform and multiple-aged hardware was another limiting factor. Moreover, the desire to develop the service through wider protocol and network service support was meeting certain obstacles. "Unfortunately, for Linux there was a limited choice of ready-to-use solutions and libraries, while inventing something completely new was difficult", says Artem Prisyazhnyuk, Host Tracker director. "We had an idea of reviewing the stack of technologies we used for a more sophisticated one and after taking a closer look at the .NET platform, its potential in terms of scalability and network support, I realized that was exactly the thing we had been looking for."
It was sure that migrating to a completely different platform should be a complex task – the project extended over three years. However, it was like blessing in disguise: during this period, the world has seen the cloud computing that seemed an ideal tool for solving both the scalability problem and putting aside one's own whole infrastructure. Besides, the PaaS model allowed to remove most of the effort in terms of administering the solution and to control the application as a self-contained entity, to the extent of complete automation, and thus, Windows Azure had in fact no alternatives.
As a result, the second version of Host Tracker, commercial operation of which started in May 2012, is already functioning under Windows Azure. Its central ingredient is realized as Web Role and associated with SQL Azure Database – it provides external portal, analytics and report generation, control of monitoring applications. The latter are ensured with instances of Worker Role, which also use SQL Azure Database to store their data and to provide the service scalability depending on the network loading. Agents are functioning as they did before, with the viability of their transfer to Windows Azure being considered.
Now, Host Tracker uses HTTP/HTTPS and ICMP protocols to monitor specific ports, including various methods (HEAD/POST/GET), and etc.
Alarm reporting is available via email, SMS and instant messages. The customer can receive reports with statistics about resources being controlled and their performances. You can spend only 6 minutes to make monitoring settings for five sites, while the average response time in case of failure is limited by a couple of minutes, and it takes 1-3 minutes more to inform the customer about the problem. Using this service, anyone can check any site, including access from various regions.
As a result, if on the one side the transfer to the .NET platform itself gave us the potential to modernize Host Tracker, to optimize the application architecture and realize new internal functions, then, on the other side, the migration to the cloud allowed to refuse from less important, though time consuming activities such as administering the solution, and, first of all, to reach necessary performance indicators. Microsoft, for all basic Windows Azure services, declares 99,9% accessibility and guarantees monthly refunds, should this indicator be lower. This creates a firm ground for operating such services like Host Tracker, as the accessibility is the most critical parameter for these applications. Using the cloud infrastructure also provides a better protection for the service: unauthorized access to the application and many types of attacks are effectively excluded, while the data safety is ensured by triple reservation.
Host Tracker received another advantage from abandoning its own infrastructure. The service's performance characteristics are also rather critical, for they directly affect the failure reporting system operation. In this respect, Windows Azure is virtually a drainless source of computing power. This means that by timely starting additional monitoring instances you can support Host Tracker functioning parameters on the necessary level. Moreover, the cloud environment is exactly what you need in order to make this process almost fully automatic, excluding further need for direct control.
HostTracker — Sites Monitoring Service
Every site owner knows how important it is to have your resource always operative and available for visitors. Periodical site unavailability has a bad influence even at its positions in the search engines (as Google representatives have repeatedly claimed), not to mention the fact that visitors are extremely displeased by such "accidents"...
How to be always aware of how properly your site is operated in real time?
HostTracker is an online website monitoring service, having rich functionality and good feedback of the customers, who are, by the way, more than 25 thousand (including the resources of such companies as Colgate, KasperskyLab, Panasonic etc.).
The job design of this service is the following: at certain specified intervals your websites and servers will be checked for availability and serviceability (the verification is performed from around the world), and in case of any problems you will receive notifications about the problems. In addition, uptime statistics for each site is collected, but it will be discussed later.
A quick site serviceability check may be performed directly from the service main page through typing its address in the upper right window and selecting one of the verification methods:
According to the check results a detailed report will be created on a separate page.
To become the HostTracker service client and verify the uptime and serviceability of your resources on a regular basis you need to register in the system and assign the appropriate tasks. Over time detailed statistical reports and visual graphics will be created for each task, greatly facilitating data analysis, outputing them in an understandable representative form.
Site failures and problems may be reported to (at your option):
At that it is possible to set the notifications delay, their uploading time etc. – the settings are very flexible. By the way now I really miss such functionality at Monitorus, as it sends an SMS immediately when a problem occurs, regardless of the time of day, and as you can imagine, late night may be very fun because of this).
Another useful feature of the HostTracker service is the site content monitoring. You may set a list of the page keywords, at the disappearance of which you will receive the notification. Or vice versa – set a list of words, at the appearance of which you will receive the notification. The first case, for example, is good for paid links on other sites monitoring, and the second – to prevent virus activity in the form of additional code embedding on your website. Say, it is very helpful and very convenient!
Now a few words about the HostTracker site monitoring service rates prices. There are several service plans, differing in the maximum tasks number, check frequency, etc. However, there is also a full-featured trial period of 30 days, as well as the Free tariff, within which you may monitor up to two resources with an interval of 30 minutes. That's not much of course, but as an option to try out all the features for free, and then decide on the appropriateness of the paid tariff transition, it is just the job. Good luck!

It is rather strange, but instead of going down web services usually grow so overloaded with the user requests that after slowing down they become unresponsive. But nowadays it is extremely important to provide secure and high-quality web hosting services, available anytime, as e-businesses is acquiring popularity. The owners of the websites demand perfect service, 100% uptime and quality assurance. Numerous techniques may be used to make access to the website smooth, thus increasing uptime.more
Here we offer you twelve methods recommended to achieve performance gain and uptime increase. Software optimization is required for that, as well as hardware optimization. A lot of software features may be upgraded with the use of general and improved coding standards, operated by the website manager. At the same time the company providing the webhosting services needs to improve the hardware constantly.
You can measure the accessibility of the website using monitoring services Host-Tracker.
Software Optimization
The following are the first six ways to improve uptime:
To begin with, splitting the databases – horizontally or vertically, or combining these two directions - is essential, making the connection more reliable. It is also good to differentiate the read and write databases, this giving an opportunity for master/slave setup. These actions are useful to extend the database infrastructure for future use.
Second, when you set the system to use better popular content cache, and to use it more often, your site will scale up more easily with many users operating it. Internet caching has no difference from computer caching: it supposes storing popular content at a separate container, allowing much quicker access to the information for the users.
To optimize static content is one more way to make the access to internet pages and files quicker. One of the means for it is to compress the images to the maximum extent possible (but, of course, preserving their high quality). Moreover, it is necessary to check if the web server may be used to deliver compressed content; this characteristic is not connected with the images, as they are already compressed files. Take care to have all the appropriate settings from the beginning.
One more appropriate thing to do is to improve the system of content management reducing the database calls number for each page request. It is like any type of connection: at the decrease of the information sending times the connection is maintained. In this circumstances, the number of calls to the database should be as low as possible – it will ensure that the users are able to access the content with the greatest speed.
Software and Hardware Optimization
The next six methods for augmenting uptime are:
Six more ways to augment the uptime are the following:
Contend delivery networks allow for operation over larger amounts of media, at the same time improving the performance of the site. They are developed to direct the traffic to private networks. Such services allow operation over large media files, rooting the traffic along the Internet age, not straightly, averting extreme overloading. As the content delivery networks operate with large files, this unloads the servers, providing quick and qualitative connection.
Emerging standards, such as HTML5, include systems, improving the websites. It is achieved through advanced programming techniques, aimed at website and internet communications. Such standards do not 100 % assure that the website that uses them will not go down, but the in-built mechanisms of the code will act as the auxiliary mechanisms if it happens. Moreover, you should use improved programming methods while working with large loads and traffic spike.
"Expiers" content headers make all the automatically downloaded files cacheable for the visitors. So adding these headers to the content you will prevent the constant downloading of the browser. It blocks page review pointless HTTP requests. As well as the reduction of the database calls number, the reduction of the HTTP requests number will make the connection speed stable and not overloaded.
The last method is to develop Ethernet connection speeds. This will allow to cope with larger files and unexpected traffic spikes. A lot of hosting providers consider it as an excellent investment.
Speeds improvement and downtime reduction make the customers happier. Many of these methods to improve the web server or web site uptime may be achieved in a few minor steps. Such tactics, including Database rearrangement software optimization, caching improvements, content compressing, use of content delivery networks and content management systems, programming practices improvements and hardware upgrading will improve the web host as well as web site uptime, thus also improving your business.
Shellshock vulnerability online check
Considering the recently discovered Shellshock vulnerability, HostTracker has created a tool for testing it.
How does it work?
It is developed for a Linux server with a web server installed on it. The algorithm is very simple. We consequently generate 4 http requests:
How to understand the result?
We compare response time for all 4 requests. Three situation are possible:
Safety of checks
Our test can not damage your server. The risk consists of appearance of one extra-cookie, which is used only for our requests and can not affect normal work-flow of your site.

snapshot - instrument for site supervision
How does the site look like when I'm not looking at it? What if it looks bad or does not work at all? HostTracker offers an instrument for site supervision - snapshot feature. Let's take a look at its practical application.
How does the site look like when I'm not looking at it? What if it looks bad or does not work at all? HostTracker offers an instrument for site supervision - snapshot feature. Let's take a look at its practical application.
What's going on with my site?
Now it's usual to use different services and applications for site maintenance and support, and sometimes they do report some problems. Often we feel the lack of information - Google Analytics or a similar service reports the downtime and renewal, but likely we will never know what exactly has happened. To investigate the issue, it is necessary to review the logs, write to hosting support and perform many others exhausting actions, frequently - with no result. There are also more interesting cases - when a site is not available from a certain country or is not downloaded completely. Such problems could long for months, or even years, till they are accidentally detected. One more important issue - content check. It will automatically review the content of the site and informed the responsible staff in case it has disappeared - for example, something has not been able to be downloaded from the database. But it's hard to find the cause if the issue is short-term, because people usually do not sit in front of a laptop refreshing the page every minute. To resolve the problem, HostTracker offers a new feature - snapshot. It is very simple in use and does not require any additional adjustments. The service simply makes a snapshot of the checked page every time and saves it for review in two ways: page source code and html-view. This let you easily see how the page looks at the moment of failure, understand what's wrong and fix the problem quickly without spending time for diagnostics. It saves lots of time for server administrator, developers and other concerned people.
How does it work
Doing the regular checks, our servers with predefined interval try to download the checked page. Additional algorithms could be used at the moment - the page could be parsed for keywords to make sure that this is the one we are looking for (there are cases when an error page returns 200, Ok, http code, or when redirection is activated in case of error). If there is no error - fine. But if there is, it will be written down into the HostTracker log, which is easily available from the web. Then, notification are sent and a snapshot is made.
The snapshots could also be found in the log - if several errors were detected, a different snapshot will be available from each one.

Uptime and website monitoring
Website monitoring is a process of supervision over the performance of the site. HostTracker is a powerful tool which serves that purpose.
Website monitoring is a process of supervision over the performance of the site. Usually it is used to keep an eye on commercial sites or other pages for which high availability is very important.
Companies, which provide website monitoring services, let their clients to check a website, a server, port or other available from the Internet entity. The responses are collected and analyzed. Usually, the monitoring is performed from different locations, distributed over the whole world or the specific continent or country. Such monitoring is called distributed monitoringand helps to detect network-related issues as well as site or server-related. Also, distributed monitoring often makes possible to analyze the site performance from the places which are close to the real customers, instead of some distant locations which could have high latencies. The collected information could be found in a different form: email reports, graphs and different smart dependencies, to help the client to get a comprehensive view of the site's performance. Parameters like load time, speed and others can help to optimize the site performance. In case of critical error, monitoring services use variety of notification methods to deliver the alert to the client: SMS, voice call, instant messengers, email and others. This, together with immediate diagnostics, helps responsible persons like server administrators or developers to fix the site as soon as possible and minimize the duration of the failure.
Why is this important? For commercial sites, working time is proportional to their income. Roughly speaking, 2 hours of failure per day means that 1/12 part of the potential clients are lost. Even more - loyal customers also can find a more reliable competitor in case they can not receive their services/goods when they want. For other types of sites, like government, educational, NGO this is very important too. If people can't find the information fast, they'll find another source. Some parameters like site speed are important for search engines, others - database connectivity, for example - can greatly affect the convenience of usage of the site. Monitoring of some internal values like CPU load, memory consumption and disk space are important for administrators in order to prevent performance degradation. Another important purpose is verification of SLA (service-level agreement) of hosting provider. For technical issues, no site can be available 100% of time during long enough period. Sometimes servers are rebooted, updated or upgraded. So each hosting provider guarantee some specific value, which is called uptime, that shows how long can a site be down for technical reasons. Uptime is usually measured in percent. In this table it is shown for how long a site could be down for each uptime value:
If the real site performance does not correspond to SLA, it could be a reason for claim and refund request. Also, it can help the customers to select the best hosting for their needs.
Monitoring companies often provide some additional services, like vulnerability check, virus scanning, domain and certificate expiration check and many others, in order to make a useful product for their customers.
Different ways to monitor
The monitoring, based on the purpose, can be performed in several ways. Internal monitoring tools require some software to be installed into the monitored system, for example, corporate network. It helps to detect network issues, system performance and exclude or catch hardware and performance issues. External monitoring is performed from outside. It's purpose is check the availability and performance of the system by the third-party's eyes. Real user monitoring is external monitoring which simulates the real visitor of a site. Depending on complexity, such monitoring can analyze the page loading, content, sometimes - even design problems. Most advanced monitoring can offer its client to create a scenario for a visitor. This is called transaction monitoring and can perform some steps one-by-one: like load the page, navigate through menu, make a purchase. Passive monitoring is performed by a code which is integrated into the website code and sends specific information to the collector server each time the page is loaded. It helps to analyze customers actions on the site and analyze the traffic.
Monitoring services usually support different check protocols, and can monitor not only the websites, but also other entities like a file servers, mail servers, specific ports etc. Depending on task, monitoring interval can vary from several seconds to once per day.

Once upon a time, wasn't singing a part of everyday life as much as talking, physical exercise, and religion?

The City of Camden is partnering with Shred 360 to host a Free Community Shred Day benefitting Food for the Soul on May 19th from 9 a.m. to noon in the parking lot to the left of City Hall, 1000 Lyttleton Street. This event is free and open to the public. We encourage everyone to bring canned goods for Food for the Soul along with your shredding material.
The city of Camden saw a slight uptick in the number of incidents reported to the Camden Police Department (CPD), but that does not necessarily indicate an increase in crime. If anything, the number of reports probably indicates diligence in both the community and the police department. That seems to be the takeaway from this year's annual CPD crime statistics report presented to Camden City Council during its April 26 meeting.
Leon Prosser, chairman of The ALPHA Center Board of Directors (left), reads the inscription on a lifetime achievement and community involvement award during a surprise presentation to ALPHA Center Executive Director Paul Napper on April 20. "The board feels like he's done an outstanding job serving the community and serving Kershaw, Lee and Chesterfield counties over the years," Prosser said. The award recognizes Napper's dedication and service to the center, for his "untiring involvement and influence in our communities, and the unselfish manner in" which he has worked to better the three counties. Napper, as he often does ...

Interested in Louisiana?
We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for Louisiana each week.
If you want a laid-back, down-home getaway weekend on a budget, Cajun country is the place for cheap thrills! Music, dancing, charming accomodations, a fascinating history, the best food and friendliest people in the world await you there under the Evangeline oak. Let the good times roll with a Cajun French twist!
You know you're in south Louisiana when you pass a pumping oil well on the way with an iron cowboy silhouette welded to the top riding the well like a bucking bronco! And you'll know you have arrived when you stay at the beautifull Old Castillo Bed and Breakfast located beneath the historic Evangeline Oak. The friendly and accomodating owner, Peggy Hulin, greets you with the friendliness you encounter everywhere you go in cajun country. The rooms are beautifully decorated with antiques, comfortable, and look out on lovely garden or bayou views. The house itself has a fascinating history Peggy will share with the guests, and each morning the house fills with the delicious smells of a full cajun breakfast including the traditional cafe au lait and beignets. Guests visit like old friends in the light-filled dining room overlooking a garden of flowers and the famous oak and promenade.
You know you're in south Louisiana when you are surrounded by the history symbolized by the Evangeline Oak. The bittersweet story of Evangeline immortalized by Longfellow culminates under the oak with the legends embroidered by the mists of time. The sturdy oak symbolizes the resilience of the cajuns who built a world of laughter and song and success out of tragedy and repression, and the Evangeline love story will make you fall in love with her ancestors beneath her sturdy branches by the bayou.
Steps away from the Evangeline Oak you will find the Acadian Memorial. A magnificent mural dominates the memorial with a fascinating interactive, short history presentation that tells about the people as individuals who settled the area and tells the story of the Cajun history in their own words as it describes their experiences. A unique way of presenting the story, this will engage even the fidgitiest eight-year-old and draw them into a fascinating glimpse into the tragedy and triumph of the cajuns whose ancestors smile at you today, and whose names are memorialized on the wall. Charge is only $2.00
Twin museums tell the story of St. Martinville with interesting exhibits and descriptions. The African American Museum and the Acadian Memorial offer self-guided tours that tell the story of two peoples who arrived as exiles and joined their fates to build a unique culture. charge is $2.00
A lovely old home houses an interpretive costume exhibit of the Oak and Pine Alley wedding circa 1870. Located in the Church Square.
Central to the survival of the cajuns was their strong faith, and this historic church is considered the Mother Church of the Acadians. It was established in 1765, and the present building dates from 1844. It features guided tours daily in French and English except for Friday morning, and the Evangeline Monument adorns the church square.
Regional art and crafts, displays of the elaborate Mardi Gras robes and still used for plays and performaces, the Opera House is located on the St. Martinville square. Although we did not have time to go, a performance of Our Town was being held the weekend we were there and it got great reviews from some who attended.
Guided tours are offered daily in French and English of this home, circa 1876, on the National Register of Historic Places.
This state park joins "romance and history' with exhibits showing Acadian life. There is a small, rustic Acadian cabin furnished with original "Louisiana cypress" furniture. Also featured is a small garden with the culinary and medicinal herbs used traditionally in the area. Along the banks of the Bayou Teche is the Acadian Farmstead. It is a model of a typical single family home as it would have looked in the early 19th century. The home has the typical outdoor kitchen and bread oven, slave quarters, and barn. There are even cattle of the typical breed raised by Creoles and Acadians in the 19th century. In the Visitor Center there are additional displays of history and culture of the Acadians and Creoles, introductory video, and other items of interest. There is a trail system in the park leading to a blacksmith shop and other places typical of Louisiana early life.
Located on the square in St. Martinville, this little gem of a cafe offers a full bar, soft drinks and light lunch and dinner items and a fabulous array of tempting desserts. They also have live music playing from time to time, and we enjoyed a lovely evening there listening to a local artist singing traditional Cajun music and some popular specialties. The charming owner visits with all the guests and it is lovely place to stop for a drink, a snack, or a meal while sightseeing the many attractions on the St. Martinville Square.
You know you're in south Louisiana when the search for the ultimate crab cake ends here. It must be against the law to get a bad meal in south Louisiana, because the food is great no matter where you eat, but this place sets the bar high even for the other fabulous dining available. I had the crab cake appetizer and the duck, and my husband had the stuffed flounder, and everything was outstanding. It was our splurge evening for my birthday dinner, but was still reasonable for the quality. The atmosphere was charming, and we enjoyed the interesting art and nice wine selection. An acquaintance in the area shared a deligthful story of playing there as a child when it was his grandfather's mercantile store, and riding the hand operated elevators to the second floor where the coffins were stored and playing in the coffins! However, the coffins are gone and the gourmet goodies have landed at this comfortable but sophisitcated fine dining venue.
Mulate's is a chain of restaurants all over the area and is a lively and entertaining place that is the happening spot for Breaux Bridge with nightly bands and dancing. We enjoyed coffee and dessert there and watching the entertainment, but it also serves wonderful cajun specialties and is a popular spot with local families. You know you're in south Louisiana when you compliment the skills of the local dancers and they invite you to dance and teach you how! Before we knew it we were two- stepping and waltzing with the best of them! Well, maybe not the best, but we were so graciously welcomed by the local dancers it didn't matter if our two left feet didn't match the quality of the intricate steps and turns of traditional cajun dancing. It was a delightful and lively evening of fun and you would have to be a real grouch not to have the time of your life with the locals at Mulate's!
....You meet the friendliest people in the world, and even the smallest towns have live music playing someplace on almost any night and a lot of the restuarants include a dance floor.... you see children amusing themselves in a restuarant dancing while their parents eat, including an entire soccer team of little boys still int heir uniforms....you see "drive through" bars with "daquiris to go!"...you see an article in the local paper entitled "Is the Sun Setting on Cockfighting"....folks drive even faster than you do! ......and everybody truly knows how to let the good times roll!

Some fans get too excited about third-string quarterbacks. San Francisco 49ers coach Mike Singletary does not.
He used the word "inconsistent" in describing 49ers third-stringer Nate Davis, then made it clear Davis was not competing with David Carr for the No. 2 job behind Alex Smith. This is pretty much how things work in the NFL. Third-stringers usually do not go charging up depth charts on the strength of a few exciting plays during exhibition games. Davis completed a 60-yarder to Ted Ginn Jr. during the 49ers' 15-10 exhibition victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night, but he also failed to complete even half his passes overall.
"I think he's a guy that's got a lot of flash, a big arm like a lot of kids, a lot of young kids, but you have to learn how to play the position," Singletary told reporters after Davis completed 7 of 16 passes against the Vikings on Sunday.
The comments from Singletary should help the growing list of people asking how prominently Davis might figure into the 49ers' plans.
"You have to learn how to command the huddle, you have to learn how to get people in and out of the huddle and you have to have a presence about you and I just feel that he's still learning how to do that," Singletary said. "And I don't know how long it's going to take. I don't know how much time we have, but I think it's just nice to see him every now and then make some nice throws and then bang, there's one play in particular that I'll talk about -- you have to know where the first-down marker is. You don't just fall."
Singletary said Davis is competing against himself, not against Carr for the No. 2 job.
"I really like the kid, there is a lot to like about him, but there is a work ethic that's involved in terms of being a quarterback in the NFL and he's got to get it, it's as simple as that," Singletary said. "I'm pulling for him, I'm hoping, but so far it's inconsistent."
The assumption to this point in Davis' career has been that the 2009 fifth-round draft choice has worked extra hard to overcome a learning disability, making him a sympathetic figure. The comments from Singletary about Davis' work ethic paint another picture. Pretty harsh words, but at least we have a better idea where Davis stands.
Update: Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee provides a fuller quote from Singletary: "Right now Nate Davis is working his tail off to try and learn this system. But in the offseason, that's when you take the time to get that done. And I'm not sure how hard he worked in the offseason in getting that done. So when I talk about work ethic, you just can't turn it on and turn it off. Now that we're in training camp, 'Well, I'm really trying! I'm really trying!' In the offseason, in the OTAs, the minicamps and all those things -- that's when you have to get that done, and that's when you have to stay up and drive the coaches crazy and look at film and ask all the questions you possibly can. And I'm not sure he did that. So now it's a lot that he has to get in a short amount of time. So hopefully he can do that. I don't know."

PH2149/5125 Eyewear
With these designer eyeglasses, you are always perfectly dressed. The PH2149 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Polo collections 2015 and 2016.
The frame is specially designed for men. Sporting clear lines, New School Cool meets traditional quality. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The quadratic shape makes the face appear longer, due to its straight outer edges. The frame is, therefore, particularly advantageous for more rounded facial features. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The PH2149 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Green eyewear is an ideal stylish accessory for everyone who likes to emphasize their individuality.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
Even if this Polo is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.

A sprawling tapestry (or spiderweb) spun between the East and West coasts by a brilliant musical Rapunzel, harpist-pianist Joanna Newsom's triple-CD Have One on Me is a gripping, endlessly evocative, and deeply moving love story writ large. The hermetic mysteries of her 2004 debut The Milk-Eyed Mender and 2006's Van Dyke Parksorchestrated Ys have evolved into a more humanly approachable yet even more emotionally powerful set of songs about uncontrollable passion, fractious personalities, a possible abortion, and, finally, a heart-stopping breakup punctuated by a harsh, lingering chord. (All things must pass, indeed.) Her voice is almost literally enchanting; she toys with words like a cat preparing a mouse for its maker. Two hours and 18 songs long, Have One on Me could easily fill an evening, and, as Newsom's magical BAM performance with the Brooklyn Philharmonic two years ago demonstrated, it should be a transcendent evening.
