Radio Host Mark Davis Thinks Allowing Women in Combat is an "Outrage Against Humanity"
Yesterday, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced that the U.S. military will drop its ban on women serving in combat.
For many, this was a long overdue, a commonsense step and an acknowledgment that women are fighting in combat in places like Iraq and Afghanistan and have been for more than a decade, only without being included in the military promotion pipeline.
For radio host Mark Davis, this was the beginning of the end of American's military.
"This is a disaster," he said on his radio show this morning on 660 AM The Answer. "It is an outrage against humanity."

It's also a "sick perversion," "pernicious," and "one of the worst ideas since the beginning of time."
Don't get Davis wrong. He thinks women are "good and strong and wonderful," not to mention tough for enduring that whole childbirth thing. He just doesn't think they can pass the military's physical standards for those engaged in combat.
As proof, he points to the recent failure of two women to pass Marine infantry training, failing to note the small sample size, the fact that one of the women had already passed the punishing endurance test, and the fact that the Marines combat test is significantly tougher than that in other branches.
And what if women do meet the physical standards? Davis dismisses this out of hand, insisting the number who could to be "infinitesimally small," maybe five in the entire military, and predicts that those standards will inevitably be watered down when this becomes embarrassingly clear, thus weakening the country's fighting force.
If that doesn't convince you, Davis has another ace up his sleeve. Combat situations put soldiers in danger of being captured by the enemy. Part of a soldier's job is to withstand torture and to be able to endure hearing one's fellow soldiers do the same. Since men have a natural inclination, "wired by God himself," to protect and shelter women, they couldn't bear to hear the rape and torture they might be subjected to.
"To ask a male soldier to do that is unconscionable," he said.
What Panetta's decision amounts to, he says, is a misguided attempt to conform to liberal notions of diversity. Just like people who support same-sex marriage do so to be nice "to our gay brothers and sisters," and just like affirmative action was an attempt to "be nice to our brothers and sisters of color," letting women serve in combat is simply a way of being nice to women.
"When our military becomes a touchstone of diversity, and that becomes more important than winning wars, then we are screwed," he says.

A Dead Goat Was Hanged from Berkner High's Goal Post on Eve of Plano East Football Game
Plano East High School slaughtered Richardson's Berkner Rams on Friday night in the completely metaphorical sense that its football team scored more points (34) than its rival (13). The night before, the slaughter was quite literal.
Members of Berkner's marching band arrived at the high school's football field at around 6 a.m. Friday to find a goat carcass hanging by its ankles from one of the goal posts. The goat was removed fairly quickly by animal control, but not before someone snapped a grainy cell phone picture of the animal and put it on Twitter.
Richardson police have launched an animal cruelty investigation and are "trying to determine who the owner of the goat is and who is responsible," an investigator told The Dallas Morning News.
Logic would suggest this is the work of one of the 2,800 students enrolled at Plano East, which celebrated its homecoming this weekend. So far at least, police have had trouble further narrowing the list of potential suspects.

The response to the dead-goat discovery has been equal parts outrage and disgust.
"It's not really funny, it's not good sportsmanship, and animal cruelty is not something that should be taken lightly," Berkner senior Gabby Gafford told Fox 4.
But before we hunt down the perpetrators and string them up like that poor defenseless animal, it's worth asking whether it's more likely that a bunch of suburban teenagers sought out a live goat and killed it themselves, or whether they went down to one of the halal butcher shops two miles so away in downtown Richardson and bought one that was already dead.
It's also worth pointing out that, as a prank, it doesn't make any sense. Male goats are called bucks, not rams.

The invention relates to earhooks, and in particular to flexible earhooks that may be contoured to a wearer's ear.
Traditionally, earphones have been used by positioning a support member or band across the wearer's head, whereby the earphones rest against the outer vicinity of the ears and the wearer perceives the audio produced in the earphone. When it is desirable for the wearer to be able to perceive also ambient sound and engage in direct conversations, one of the earphones has been replaced by a pad that rests against the side of the head. While perceiving sound through the one earphone which is positioned against one ear, the wearer can still hear ambient sound with the other ear.
However, the support member extending across the wearer's head has disadvantages. It may product unwanted pressure on the wearer's head, and it may also interfere with the person's hair. Furthermore, some wearers find it uncomfortable having an object extending over the top of their head, further adding to the disadvantages of such structures.
Prior art earphones which hang from the outer ear (lat. pinna) are not flexible, that is, they are typically made from hard plastic materials which severely restrict the amount of adjustment the wearer can make. This may render the earphone uncomfortable, which may cause the wearer to frequently readjust the earphone for a more comfortable fit.
Being able to offer the wearer an adjustable earhook allows the wearer to contour the earhook to reflect the shape of the individual wearer's ear. Doing so greatly improves the wearer's comfort, in that the wearer is able to adjust the earhook to a personal comfortable fit. Good adjustability and comfort for the wearer is particularly important in a professional situation where the earphone is intended to be used for extended periods of time.
Thus, it can be seen that there is a need for an earhook which allows a lightweight, accessible, and easily adjustable arrangement of an earphone close to the wearer's ear.
The present invention relates generally to earhooks, and in particular to flexible earhooks that may be contoured to a wearer's ear.
A flexible earhook for positioning an earphone adjacent a wearer's ear comprises a mounting element capable of being provided with the earphone, and a hook element comprising a material capable of being contoured and thereafter maintaining its shape. The hook element and the mounting element may be connected such that the flexible earhook can be used on either ear.
In one embodiment, the mounting element comprises a hard plastic material. In another embodiment, the hook element comprises a soft pliable plastic material facing the wearer's ear.
In one embodiment, the longitudinal member includes a curved portion between the first and second ends. In another embodiment, the material capable of being shaped and thereafter maintaining its shape comprises a wire. The wire may be covered with a soft plastic material.
In yet another embodiment, the hook element and the mounting element are connected by a substantially cylindrical portion on the mounting element and by a hollow, substantially cylindrical housing on the hook element, wherein the cylindrical portion has a radially extending flange, and the housing having a plurality of slits to accommodate the flange.
These and various other advantages and features of novelty which characterize the present invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed hereto and forming a part hereof. However, for a better understanding of the present invention, its advantages, and other objects obtained by its use, reference should be made to the drawings which form a further part hereof, and to the accompanying descriptive matter, in which preferred embodiments of the present invention are illustrated and described.
The present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals identify corresponding or like components.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a front view of the embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a rear view of the embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a first side view of the embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a second side view of the embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing an earhook register of an embodiment in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 7 is a cross section of the hook element in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, taken along line 7—7; and
FIG. 8 is a cross section of the mounting element in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, taken along line 8—8.
FIG. 1 shows a flexible earhook 100 in one embodiment of the present invention. The earhook 100 generally comprises a hook element 101 and a mounting element 103. The hook element 101 may be used to position the earhook 100 on a wearer's ear. The hook element 101 may be connected to the mounting element such that the earhook 100 may rotate, that is, the earhook 101 may be used with either left or right ear. The mounting element 103 may be used for mounting an earphone or similar equipment, such that the earphone is positioned adjacent the wearer's ear when wearing the earhook 100. The hook element 101 is flexibly adjustable, which allows a wearer to adjust it to conform comfortably to the shape of his or her ear.
The hook element 101 comprises a first end 105 and a second end 107. The hook element 101 further comprises a first connection member 108 which may, for example, be used for connecting the hook element 101 to the mounting element 103. Between the first end 105 and the second end 107 is a longitudinal portion including a curved portion 106. The curved portion 106 may be shaped to make the fitting of the earhook 100 onto the wearer's ear comfortable.
As shown by the shaded area 112 in FIG. 1, the hook element 101 may comprise one material on portions adjacent the wearer's ear. The material may be a soft pliable plastic material, for example a SANTOPRENE material. This may serve to increase the comfort of using the earhook 100.
In the illustrated embodiment, the curved portion 106 extends down along the back of the hook element 101. When the curved portion 106 is formed from a hard plastic material, this may serve to facilitate the wearer's contouring of the hook element 101 in order for the earhook 100 to fit comfortably. The curved portion 106 of a hard plastic material may more or less resist flexing when the portion 112 is being contoured, maintaining the curved portion 106 in substantially original shape.
The mounting element 103 has a substantially annular shape, and comprises a second connection member 111. In the shown embodiment, the second connection member 111 is positioned substantially radially with respect to the mounting element 103. The second connection member 111 will extend into the first connection member 108 and together they form an earhook register 110 which allows the mounting element 103 to be positioned at angles with respect to hook element 101. This allows, for example, an earphone which may be mounted on the mounting element 103, to be adjusted relative to the wearer's ear as desired. As illustrated, the earhook register 110 may be a swivel mechanism. In other embodiments, other configurations such as hinge mechanisms may be used.
The second connection member 111 may have different configurations. For example, in one embodiment the second connection member 111 may enclose the first connection member 108.
In other embodiments the mounting element 103 may have a shape suitable for the particular equipment, such as an earphone, which is to be mounted on the mounting element 103. It is contemplated that the mounting element 103 need not necessarily enclose or cover the earphone etc.; in some embodiments it may comprise a fitting which attaches to the earphone etc.
The mounting element 103 may be formed using well-known techniques. The mounting element 103 may comprise, for example, a hard plastic material. An example of such a material is a XENOY material.
FIGS. 2 and 3 show front and rear views of the flexible earhook 100, respectively. In the shown configuration of the earhook 100, the first connection member 108 and the second connection member 111 are positioned so that the mounting element 103 is substantially planar with the hook element 101. The mounting element 103 is connected to the hook element 101 such as to be rotatably positionable with respect to the hook element 101. Thus, when wearers put on the earhook 100, the hook element 101 and the mounting element 103 will assume positions with respect to each other.
FIGS. 4 and 5 show side views of the earhook 100, where the mounting elements 103 is adjusted in a position substantially planar with the hook element 101. The mounting element 103 has a first annular edge 115, which may be configured so as to facilitate mounting of a device on the mounting element 103, such as an earphone.
The mounting element 103 further comprises a second annular edge 117, which may be adapted to facilitate the mounting of a device in the mounting element 103. For example, one or both of the first and second angular edges 115 and 117 may be configured to abut or engage a portion of an earphone mounted on the mounting element 103, such that the earphone is securely fastened the mounting element 103.
Slits 119 may be formed in the first connection member 108 to facilitate connection of the hook element 103 such that it is rotatably mounted to the hook element 101. Forming the slits 119 as through openings may be advantageous in that it simplifies the manufacturing process. However, it should be noted that the slits 119 may be formed with different configurations, such as being grooves on the inside of the first connection member 108. The slits 119 may be formed using well-known techniques.
FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the first and second connection members 108 and 111. The first connection member 108 comprises a substantially cylindrical cavity 123, and slits 119 in the first connection member 108.
The second connection member 111 comprises a flange 121. The flange 121 may, for example, extend around the entire second connection member 111. The flange 121 will be used to facilitate mounting of the second connection member 111 inside the first connection member 108. This may, for example, be carried out by the flange 121 engaging the slits 119, thereby securing the second connection member 111 to the first connection member 108, and allowing it to be adjusted into different positions.
FIG. 7 shows an exemplary cross section of the hook element 101, taken along the line indicated in FIG. 3. The hook element 101 comprises a core 127 covered by a body 129. The core 127 will act as a flexibly adjustable member which allows the hook element 101 to be flexed into different configurations. For example, the core 127 may render the hook element 101 capable of being contoured and thereafter maintaining its shape. Many different materials may be used for the core member 127. For example, the core member 127 may be a wire with a substantially circular cross section. As another example, the core member 127 may be an annealed wire. The core member 127 may be provided with other cross sections than circular. The body 129 may have other cross sectional configurations than the one shown in the drawing. For example, the body 129 may have a substantially wedge-like cross section, with rounded edges to make it comfortable to use. It should be noted that the core member 127 may constitute a lesser or greater proportion of the entire cross-sectional area of the hook element 101.
The body 129 may, for example, be a soft plastic material such as a thermoelastic material. One example of such a material is a SANTOPRENE material. The body 129 is molded to the core member 127, in order to allow it to flexibly conform to any particular configuration in which the core member 127 may be contoured. In other embodiments, the hook element 101 may be formed entirely from one material which renders it capable of being contoured to the wearer's ear and thereafter maintaining its shape.
In some embodiments, the core member may extend substantially along the entire length of the hook element 101. In another embodiment, it may terminate somewhat before the end of the hook element 101.
In some embodiments, part of the hook element 101 may be formed from a hard plastic material, and another part, such as one which comes in contact with the wearer's skin, may be formed from a soft pliable plastic material. This may, for example, allow the hook element 101 to be used with great comfort for the wearer, as well as with adequate rigidity and structural integrity for the intended use. The hook element 101 may be molded and/or formed using well known techniques.
FIG. 8 shows a cross section of the mounting element 103 taken along the line indicated in FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the first annular edge 115 and the second annular edge 117 have been configured particularly to facilitate the mounting of a device in the mounting element 103, allowing the device to be positioned adjacent the wearer's ear by means of the earhook 100.
In an exemplary use of the earhook 100, a wearer may place the hook element 101 behind the ear, whereby the mounting element 103 and an earphone mounted thereon are situated approximately in front of the person's ear. If the wearer wishes to adjust the earhook, he or she may contour the hook element 101 to conform to the shape of the ear, whereby the earhook 100 can be worn with a comfortable fit adapted to the person's ear. The mounting element may furthermore be contoured before putting on the earhook 100, and the fit may then be adjusted once it is in place.
While the invention has been described in connection with an embodiment, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to that embodiment. The invention is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope thereof, as defined by the appended claims.

In the nineteen seventies, Romain Gary, a well-established French author, was at the height of his fame. He had already published twenty-four novels, many of which were best-sellers. He was a decorated war hero, a Chevalier de la légion d'honneur, and a French diplomat at the United Nations. He had also received the "Prix Goncourt" in 1956 for his novel Les Racines du ciel. He led a glamorous lifestyle in the upscale "7e arondissement" at la Rue du Bac in Paris; was married to the famous American film star Jean Seberg; and had many friends in Hollywood. Yet, despite all these outward signs of success, Romain Gary felt underappreciated as a writer. Wanting to reinvent himself, he published four novels under the …

Tauranga's booming retirement village sector is getting another multi-million dollar boost by the expansion of The Avenues Retirement Village to provide a care facility for residents.
Metlifecare managing director Alan Edwards said they were in the process of preparing a resource consent application for the additions, which will include the construction of more apartments.
The development would be built on the vacant site on the corner of 10th Ave and Norris St, which was owned by Metlifecare, and would complete the development of the block.
Mr Edwards declined to go into detail of what was planned until consent had been obtained, except to say The Avenues was expanding its level of service so people would not need to leave the village for long-term care.
Elsewhere in the city, the retirement village industry is going from strength to strength.
The first home has just been completed at the new $140 million Bethlehem Shores village development, with two more under construction and 10 planned to be finished by the end of the year.
Bethlehem Shores' sister village, the $54 million Bethlehem Country Club, has two more villas under way and another starting soon.
The $120 million Bob Owens Retirement Village continues its rapid expansion, with the council recently signing off an apartment block worth $1.44 million.
Stage nine of Pyes Pa's Althorpe Village is also selling well, with eight licences-to-occupy left to sell from the 23 new homes.
Pyes Pa's other big village, Copper Crest, has just completed its $4.2 million retirement centre, which opens to residents on Monday.
Building is well advanced on the other half of Bernadette Lifecare's hospital in Arataki worth $2.25 million.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Armoni By Elegancia Paris
Not so bad
Me and my partner stayed in this hotel for three nights in sept 05.Before going and reading the reviews on this site I really was dreading the prospect of staying here.
The room I must admit is very very small but hey we werent in Paris to stay long in our room this was just a base.The room though was tidy had a very nice shower, television and a very well stocked mini bar.The room was also as requested cleaned thoroughly on a daily basis.
The area we stayed in was also very quiet as was the hotel and also a three minute walk from the metro station where we could easily access all that Paris has to offer.
Breakfast was of the contental variety.There were some americans who were also staying at the hotel at the same time who were not too happy with the breakfast offered.As stated in the hotel this is a continental breakfast ie Croissants,fruit,rolls,cereal and juices.A continental breakfast does not therefore include a massive fry up re bacon and eggs.
The hotel staff seemed ok I wouldnt say they were overly helpful but equally they acknowledged when passing this is all we expected really.
On the whole I would say this hotel is average and defintelely not as bad as some people have stated.It is a pleasant enough place to base yourself for a short stay in Paris and is situated in a very accessible and peaceful part of Paris.
Over Priced
The three positives about the hotel were location, firm beds, and the hotel clerk, Katarina. Katarina was very cordial and extremely knowledgeable, and she willingly helped us with French pronunciations. Otherwise, it was a disaster.
First of all, the room was too small for three people. We each stubbed our toes at some point during our stay. There was one closet for all of us, and no special space for our bags.
Secondly, the bathroom accommodations were from some earlier era. There was no fixed shower, no shower curtain, and the toilet was in a separate area than the sink and tub. The toilet was stained and the tub had permanent rings.
The people at the desk, other than Katarina, spoke very little English, even though the hotel advertised that it had English speakers. They also seemed as if they were doing us a favor to take our money. They charged me a 30 Euro deposit to use an electrical adapter to charge my camera and camcorder batteries, and a 10 Euro deposit for the safe deposit key. This was the first hotel I've lived in that didn't have the push button safe deposit.
Our room was near an area where the hotel stored the bags of people from other rooms, so sometimes I had to move bags for us to get in and out of the room. We could also hear the elevator all night.
To add insult to injury, on the day that we were leaving, the van driver refused to pull in front of the hotel to get our bags. He wanted us to cross a busy street and load our bags in the van. The hotel said they used the service on a regular basis, but it was a new driver. Fortunately, the hotel returned the fee I had paid which included an 18 Euro hotel charge.
Our Paris experience fell far short of expectations. We saw all the main attractions, and were near the terminus for several city buses, so we saw a lot of the city.
If we visit Paris again, the Cheverny will not be our destination.
Worst hotel ever - Avoid
Please, please avoid!
This hotel was a complete disaster:
* doorknob fell off when we arrived
* hardly anything available for breakfast
* food handling unhygenic
* rooms dirty - fag burns and cracks in tiling etc (we also woke up with insect bites)
* personal item went missing in room
* far away from anything in Paris (doesnt mention that the road to Arc de Triumph is steep!)
* No decent food nearby
* Staff unhelpful
and wait for it:
* we saw a RAT in our room
Worst of all, hotel refuses to accept any of these points or make any compensation
Unbearably hot; dirty
I'd give this hotel 1 and 1/2 stars, if that were an option. The plumbing worked and the lights turned on.
We were "upgraded" to a junior suite...That turned out to be back luck. The elevator only took us a short way then it was up and down multiple flights of stairs and across a scorching glassed-in walkway lugging our bags. It was a hot day at the end of May and the hotel was billed as having air conditioning. There was some in the lobby, but none in our room and it was absolutely stifling. We lived in Paris for years and understand the usual lack of a/c, but this top-floor room was beyond hot. We had not a breath of air because the room had windows on only one side (not surprising, but a relevant fact) and faced the main building across a very narrow space. (Windows across the way were closed which made us wonder if the rooms in the main building were air conditioned.) The clerk was less-than-polite when my son asked for a fan. (He speaks fluent French. No fans were available.) Thankfully, we were so exhausted after our early arrival and hours of subsequent walking that we managed to sleep anyway. For that matter, we were nodding off in the lobby as the room wasn't ready until over an hour later than promised...and that hadn't been till mid-afternoon anyway. The hotel did allow us to leave our luggage in a hallway off the lobby while we waited for the room.
On a cool day, the room would have only been alright. It was no suite; just a small room with two single beds pushed together to form the standard double bed and two singles that folded down from the wall. Decor was average with a couple pieces of art. The bathroom was nice, but hairs all over the tub and floor. The carpet in the bedroom was similarly dirty. Still, I have to confess that the overwhelming heat contributed to the overall negative impression.
On the bright side, the location is very convenient to the Metro and RER C. It's a nice neighborhood. The hotel breakfast is wildly overpriced at 11 euros per person. Walk around the corner and buy excellent pain au chocolat, croissants, etc. at the little bakery for a fraction of the price.
Happily, this was only a one-night stay preceding an extended stay in an apartment. If you're in Paris for a week or more, that's often your best option anyway. There are lots of sites on the Internet offering short-term apartments in a variety of neighborhoods and price-ranges. Some also offer weekend rates.
Convenient and clean
We stayed for 4 nights in May. It was very clean and the windows are double glazed so we couldnt hear the outside noise. It can be noisy within the hotel though as the walls are not all that thick... but this really wasn't a problem. The bathroom was clean - it has a bath and shower. The airconditioner worked well - which was good as it was a really hot weekend for May!
It is really close to the metro so not far to carry all the luggage. There are a few cafe's around to eat at.. although try getting off the main road as it is cheaper and we found better quality food. There are a few supermarkets around to get food at.. although shut on Sunday.
The main disadvantage at this place is that it is north of the river and a fairly long way away from the sights on the south.. ok not all that long but around 30 -40 mins on the metro at least... longer on sundays.
Give it a miss
Im sorry to say that we stayed at this hotel.
As it was our first time in paris we were open to anything, but what we got was even worse.
I thought i had researched paris and the hotel thouroughly,using this site. and i was pretty much very dissappointed.
The hotel lists of room amenities are not true.
Mini bar.where was it ? the photo shows where it should have been.
Air conditioning. didnt work,nor did the heating.
We were expecting a clean room with the few comforts, what we got was a filthy room with the bare essentials.
We got a dirty rotten toilet,filthy window,and dirty towels,that was just the bathroom.
The wall paper was filthy, the telephone socket was hanging of the wall,the surfaces in the bedroom hadnt been wiped and still had glass marks from the previous occupants,the air con didnt work,or the heating.
One lamp had a bulb blown and the other worked after a lot of fiddling.
The carpet was dirty and the overblanket was filthy and marked.
You eat breakfast in a dark dingy dining room.
We stayed in room 404.
Not at all like the pictures you see on their web site
So So hotel
Everything is unbelievable small in this tiny hotel for those living in U.S.
It's rated 3 star on expedia, I guess it's European standard.
Staff's atitude is ok depending on who you met.
Nice thing is that room is clean.
And it's very close to metro.
For me, it's first time to be paris, don't know other hotels, I guess it would be same.
Ideal for a short break.
Either the other reviews of this hotel are by a competitor or it's a different hotel. My wife, 2 kids and myself had a lovely time in this small but friendly, clean and well situated hotel. As it's in a cul-de-sac it's very quiet at night, is right by a metro station and only a 10 minute walk from L'Arc de Triumph. Rooms were not huge but after a full day in Paris you want to sleep, not do acrobatics.
Buffet breakfast was great for stocking up on coffee and carbohydrates so as to face the day's sightseeing. For the money we paid this was good value.
Don't even consider it....
Definitely the worst hotel I've ever stayed in.
The bed linen was flithy, there was damp all over the walls, someone's dirty clothes on the floor, tiles falling off in the bathroom, a shower in the bath but nothing to attach it to the wall and no shower curtain, no plug so couldn't have a bath, had to sit in the bath and shower.
I was in tears within 10 minutes of being in this hotel, its nasty and the staff are very unco-operative. You've been warned !
You get what you paid for
You get what you paid for.
Basically I think the hotel facility is similar to Motel 6. This is a very tiny hotel. It is old even with some renovations. The elevator can only hold two persons. If you don't believe it, check it out! The towels and the bed sheet smells even though they are clean and got replaced every day.
The receptionist (also the only operator) has good attitude, especially a guy name Zoubeir. He is great.
We booked two triple rooms. The first night we arrived, they over sold one. So they gave us one double bed room and one single room, plus one triple room. The double bed room and the single room sucks! You can't even lock the door from inside of the double bed room unless you use key.
Next night they moved us to another double bed room and add in one rollaway bed to make it a triple room. It was extremely crowded and noisy without sound insulation at all.
After the complains, the 3rd night they moved us to the Junior suite with 3 beds, one of them is rollaway bed. These junior suites are new and comfortable, but not spacy at all. But at least they are new!
The photos you see from Internet are the Junior suites!!
Great features of this hotel are that they are right in front of the Metro subway exit. Also, there are many French and Asian restaurants nearby within ONE to two minutes walk, including Mc Donald. There are mini supermarket and laundry room nearby also. So it is very convenient! The hotel is in the residential area. The restaurant next door is great!
If you are booking the triple room, please specify you need the Junior suite. Otherwise, if you only need the double bed room, spend $50 more for somewhere else or get the Junior suite as they are more expensive.
The only good rooms are the junior suites. They are new and comfortable. Rest of them are noisy!
Walking to the Arc Triumph from the hotel?! Don't ever think about it unless you have robotic feet!
If budget is your only concern, Cheverny is OK! At least they have AC, TV and shower rooms. After all, they are 3-stars rated.
Good luck!

Last day of vacation
... and the family was running late and didn't have time to drop Rapha off at home, so I could have stayed out later and not rushed home. At least this way, I can get a load of laundry done tonight, hopefully the dryer plays nice.
I had planned on working on my English lessons for the week, but I just want to watch Netflix and sleep. I talked to Mom and we kind of created some ideas of what I can do with the students so it's fun and they're still learning. I think ...
Drive to Paris
... on the road to Paris. Our apartment in Paris was located on the 5th floor overlooking the Place de la R�publique. In front of two of our balcony windows, you could see a large, woman, statue. From the other three, we could see the Tour Eiffel. Didn't do much else that night except check email, enjoy the views and enjoy our first Parisian dinner. ...

T. E. Hulme, aesthetic theorist, soldier, and imagist poet, was born at Gratton Hall in North-East Staffordshire on 16 September 1883, the eldest son of a wealthy family of landowners. He was educated at the High School in Newcastle-under-Lyme, where he developed his characteristically pugnacious attitude to intellectual debate. In February 1902, he was admitted to St. John's College, Cambridge, to read mathematics; he quickly established himself as a dominant and serious personality in the university. However he was sent down in disgrace in March 1904 for a disciplinary offence: like many episodes in his early life, its exact nature remains unclear, but it led to a breach with his family. He enrolled at University College London in …

Food Habits
Spot-billed pelicans are carnivorous and eat a diet of mainly fish, but which is sometimes supplemented by small reptiles, amphibians, and aquatic crustaceans. Spot-billed pelicans have an estimated requirement of 1000g of food daily. Pelicans use their unique beaks to fish, diving from above to skim the water or simply dipping their heads and necks below the water, collecting fish using their large, expandable bill-pouches. They then hold the fish in their pouches just long enough to squeeze out the water from the corners of their mouthes before swallowing their meals.
Animal Foods: amphibians; reptiles; fish; aquatic crustaceans
Primary Diet: carnivore (Piscivore )

UWM's "Book of Rhymes" features nationally-known poets
In its second season, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's annual open-mic talent show, "Book of Rhymes," is growing into one of the city's best poetry and song showcases. This year's event features two nationally recognized artists: comedian, poet and singer Spoken Reason, and UW poet Jasmine Mans.
Mans, 21, shot to stardom in 2010 after her now-infamous performance of the poem "Nicki Minaj" at the school's "Stomp Da Madness" event. Her fiery critique of the rap star sparked a massive online debate, and the video became an Internet sensation, garnering the sociology major national attention and 500,000 views on YouTube. »Read Full Article

US: Tyson acquires tortilla maker Don Julio
By Katy Askew | 18 February 2013
US meat giant Tyson Foods has acquired local tortilla, salty snack and pretzel maker Don Julio Foods.
The deal expands Tyson's presence in the retail channel. Tyson is the second-largest tortilla maker in the US, although the majority of its sales are to foodservice customers. Don Julio supplies retailers throughout the US under the Don Julio Authentic and Clover Club brands.
"Don Julio is an example of a brand that's the right fit for Tyson Foods," president and CEO Donnie Smith said. "The people are great, the business expands on an existing tortilla business where we already have expertise and it will allow us to offer our retail customers another product with a loyal consumer following."
Don Julio's existing management team will remain in place. The financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
Tyson Foods Acquires Assets of Don Julio Foods of Utah
Tyson Foods Acquires Assets of Don Julio Foods of Utah Deal Includes Retail Branded Tortilla, Chip and Snack Business
SPRINGDALE, Ark., Feb. 15, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Donnie Smith, president and CEO of Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE:TSN), today announced its subsidiary company, Tyson Mexican Original, Inc., has acquired the assets of Don Julio Foods of Clearfield, Utah. The deal is an example of the company's overall growth strategy. Don Julio, a maker of flour and corn tortillas, and salty snacks such as potato chips, tortilla chips and pretzels, sells products to retailers throughout the U.S. under the Don Julio Authentic and Clover Club brands.
Tyson Mexican Original is the second largest manufacturer of tortillas in the U.S. A majority of its sales are currently with foodservice customers; however the acquisition will put the company's products on grocery store shelves throughout the U.S.
"Don Julio is an example of a brand that's the right fit for Tyson Foods," Smith said. "The people are great, the business expands on an existing tortilla business where we already have expertise and it will allow us to offer our retail customers another product with a loyal consumer following."
The management team - which includes Nate Fisher, son of company founder, Craig Fisher - will continue to manage the operation. Don Julio employs about 50 people, the majority of whom are expected to become Tyson team members.
The acquisition includes all brands marketed by Don Julio, equipment and related assets. Financial terms of the deal are not being disclosed.
Entrepreneur Craig Fisher created Don Julio Foods in 1994 as a line of chip, tortilla and dip products. Production was outsourced until 2002 when Fisher and his son opened the tortilla manufacturing plant in Clearfield. Soon after beginning to make their own products, the company acquired Clover Club Foods, the same company where Craig Fisher began his career in the food business the 1980s. Most of the company's salty snacks are marketed under the Clover Club brand. Don Julio and Clover Club products are distributed nationwide at national and regional retail grocery stores.
Tyson Foods purchased Mexican Original, Inc. in 1983 to diversify its product offerings. Prior to the Don Julio acquisition, the company operated three dedicated tortilla operations in Fayetteville, Ark., Portland, Ind., and Sanford, N.C. Mexican Original tortillas and chips are sold to foodservice and restaurant customers. About 1,300 team members work for Mexican Original.
"We are excited to have the Don Julio folks join our Tyson Foods team," said Richard Irvin, manager of operations for Mexican Original. "We look forward to working with them and helping them grow the Don Julio and Clover Club brands."
Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE:TSN), founded in 1935 with headquarters in Springdale, Arkansas, is one of the world's largest processors and marketers of chicken, beef and pork, the second-largest food production company in the Fortune 500 and a member of the S&P 500.

Tyson provides products and services to customers throughout the United States and approximately 130 countries. The company has approximately 115,000 Team Members employed at more than 400 facilities and offices in the United States and around the world. Through its Core Values, Code of Conduct and Team Member Bill of Rights, Tyson strives to operate with integrity and trust and is committed to creating value for its shareholders, customers and Team Members.

LDWF hosts inaugural Louisiana Saltwater Series Fishing Tournament
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) is gearing up to host the first annual Louisiana Saltwater Series. The inaugural series was developed by LDWF in conjunction with the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Foundation to promote the conservation of Louisiana's saltwater sport fish resources, through six tag and release redfish tournaments. The first tournament will be held in Lafitte, LA on March 6, 2010, at the SeaWay Marina.
"The first annual Louisiana Saltwater Series is one of the most exciting new things to come out of our department and I am proud to be a small part of this endeavor," said LDWF Assistant Secretary Randy Pausina. "Not only are anglers given the chance to win cash prizes, but they will also help collect critical data for state and university biologists in this live tag and release tournament. I encourage everyone to sign-up and help showcase the nation's best fishing."
Sport fishing tournaments have a long tradition on the coastal waters of Louisiana, but most of these tournaments are privately sponsored. This new, innovative venture provides a competitive angling opportunity to a broader audience. The tournaments are not just for big name fishermen but open to all interested anglers. Through this catch-and-release saltwater fishing series, LDWF strives to enhance the resource while providing a competitive opportunity for avid fishermen and newcomers alike.
Participation in the tournaments provides anglers with the opportunity to give back to the resource. LDWF personnel will be on hand at each tournament to assist with the tag and release of all fish. Data collected from tournament entries will serve as a valuable tool for LDWF fisheries managers and biologists to improve their understanding of marine sport fish movements, patterns of habitat use and estimate population size.
"Fish tagging can yield a wealth of information," explained Pausina. "Years ago, most tagging was done by scientists or trained biologists, but today recreational anglers are encouraged to join the effort as volunteers. Volunteer anglers provide information that is difficult, often impossible, and very expensive to obtain by other means."
Contestants will vie for cash prizes and test their skill, while enjoying the thrill of the competitive sport. In order to participate in the series, each team must submit an application and a $200 entry fee for each event, which covers a two-man team. A third team member may be eligible if under 16 years of age.
"We hope that these events will again create enthusiasm for fishing in Louisiana and will unite anglers and their families in this recreational pastime," said Pausina. "This event has the potential to create a long lasting tradition, and a great source of competition and entertainment."
The 2010 series is comprised of five tournaments and one championship event as follows:
March 6 Lafitte, LA SeaWay Marina
April 3 Dularge, LA Falgout Canal Marina
June 12 Delacroix, LA Sweet Water Marina
July 10 Empire, LA Delta Marina
September 11 Slidell, LA The Dock
October 8 and 9 Empire, LA Delta Marina

OSHA Trade Release
U.S. Department of Labor
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Office of Communications
Washington, D.C.
For Immediate Release
Trade Release
Date: May 12, 2005
Contact: Frank Meilinger or Bill Wright
Phone: (202) 693-1999
WASHINGTON - Oregon today became the 17th state to receive final approval from the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to run its own occupational safety and health plan. OSHA has determined that Oregon meets all the requirements of an effective state program.
"We applaud the state of Oregon for their ongoing commitment to the safety and health of their workers," said Jonathan L. Snare, Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA. "We welcome Oregon as the latest state to be granted final approval."
Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski was presented with the certificate of final approval of Oregon's State Plan authority by Acting Assistant Secretary Snare.
Final approval for the Oregon state occupational safety and health plan means that federal OSHA standards and enforcement authority no longer apply and concurrent federal jurisdiction is relinquished for all occupational safety and health issues covered by the Oregon plan, with the exception of temporary labor camps.
The OSH Act permits states and territories to establish their own job safety and health programs subject to federal approval and monitoring. To be eligible for final approval, a state must operate an occupational safety and health program that is found to be performing in a manner at least as effective as the federal program, meet certain compliance staffing requirements, and participate in OSHA's integrated management information system. Twenty-four (24) states and two (2) territories operate OSHA-approved state plans.
Oregon has been operating an approved state plan since 1972 that is administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Division (OR-OSHA) of the Department of Consumer and Business Services. The plan covers all private sector employers except those on Indian lands, federal agencies, the U.S. Postal Service, contractors on military reservations, and most maritime employers. These employers remain under federal jurisdiction. The Oregon plan also covers public sector employers.
Notice of the Oregon state plan approval is published in today's Federal Register.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual process improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
