Le Dîner en Blanc de Paris took place last night in utmost secrecy. 2016 is proving to be a trying year for Paris. With the Seine river's recent flooding, the workers' union protests, and the upcoming (and highly anticipated!) UEFA Euro 2016, Dîner en Blanc organizers decided to keep the venue, and even the event date, secret until the very last moment. Everything came together wonderfully last week on Wednesday, J...

What are the membership and transaction fees for?
Membership and transaction fees are used to cover the inherent costs of training, support and technological services to all the organizers around the world, to enable them to organize their own event, as offered by Dîner en Blanc International. These services allow us to preserve and convey the concept's values, to sustain our corporate standards by regrouping them within a single network and, to develop technical tools. The membership offers members a number of online services that will grow in the coming years. Dîner en Blanc International is working on updating its platforms (release planned for 2016) so that all participants of a Dîner en Blanc event become members. In addition, this annual fee will allow members to register for as many Dîner en Blanc events in the world as they wish.
Is Dîner en Blanc an illegal activity?
For almost 30 years, Le Dîner en Blanc de Paris has been taking place without authorization, in some of the city's most prestigious sites. The first editions were not easy to pull off. Today, French authorities know that the event is always well organized and that guests are always respectful of public property. Moreover, the event's photogenic quality helps promote the city's image as a stylish Metropolis. On the other hand, all events produced according to Le Dîner en Blanc International guidelines require local hosts to acquire the proper authorization, permits, and insurances before proceeding with their event.
How many Dîner en Blanc events are there in the world?
Since the founding of Dîner en Blanc International in 2012, the event has quickly spread to over 70 cities around the world, with close to 120,000 guests participating each year. The largest and most internationally recognized Dîner en Blanc remains the original Paris event. Launched nearly 30 years ago by François Pasquier and his close friends, Le Dîner en Blanc de Paris now attracts almost 10,000 people annually, with 15,000 guests attending the 25th anniversary edition in 2013.
Is it possible to organize a Dîner en Blanc in my city?
Dîner en Blanc International has established an exclusive service to facilitate the organization and management of Dîner en Blanc events around the world. This turnkey service enables interested local teams to produce Dîner en Blanc in their own city, while connecting to the international network. For more information, write to email@example.com.
How can I participate?
You can register for Le Dîner en Blanc by one of the following three methods: by being part of the Hosts or Leaders' personal network and getting invited by them (Phase 1); by knowing someone who registers during Phase 1 and asking them to sponsor you for Phase 2; or, by signing up to the waiting list and registering during Phase 3.
What are the key rules of the event?
Le Dîner en Blanc is an evening like no other. Once registration is confirmed, each guests' participation becomes mandatory, regardless of weather conditions. Participants arrive at a designated departure point with their table, chairs, and picnic materials, and then make their way to the secret location with their Table Leader by chartered bus or organized public transportation. They take all of their belongings with them at the end of the night, including leftovers and trash, and they leave the site as clean as it was upon arrival.
What must guests wear?
All guests must dress elegantly in head-to-toe white. This means no ivory, no off-white, and no beige… Originality is always encouraged, as long as it stays stylish and tasteful.
What must guests bring?
A square folding-table and two white chairs; a white picnic basket and/or bag including a gourmet meal for two, a white tablecloth and cloth-napkins, cutlery, dishware, and glassware; and a garbage bag.

Skip to comments.Cincinnati NAACP leaders want more work for blacks on public school projects (Or Else)
Posted on 01/12/2010 6:09:35 AM PST by TSgt
CINCINNATI (AP) Some Cincinnati civil rights leaders are demanding more work for blacks on public school construction projects.
Members of the NAACP and a Baptist ministers group warned at a school board meeting Monday night that they would oppose future tax levies if minority contracting figures aren't improved.
School officials say nearly 12 percent of the $704 million spent so far on a sweeping school-rebuilding effort has gone to minority-owned companies. But National Association for the Advancement of Colored People local president Christopher Smitherman and others contend the district is overstating things.
While disagreeing with the NAACP estimates, school leaders agreed to make a good faith effort to do better on black participation.
More here: http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20100111/NEWS0102/1120362/1055/NEWS/CPS+warned++Hire+minorities+or+else
CPS says nearly 12 percent of the $704 million spent on its citywide school-rebuilding project since 2001 has gone to minority-owned companies.
But in recent weeks, Smitherman and NAACP members have argued that much less - only about $14 million, or 2 percent - is going to African-American workers, specifically, in the city of Cincinnati.
CPS was required to do business with x-percent of minority owned businesses. CPS complied however now the NAACP is complaining that not enough of the minority businesses are owned by blacks.
Only in 2010 could racisim be so brazenly obvious but acceptable.
Members of the NAACP and a Baptist ministers group warned at a school board meeting Monday night that they would oppose future tax levies if minority contracting figures aren't improved.
Meanwhile the GOP is running around in circles over Harry Reid...
>> Members of the NAACP and a Baptist ministers group warned at a school board meeting Monday night that they would oppose future tax levies if minority contracting figures aren't improved.
In my view, this is one of the reasons that the Feds can't spend their stimulus stash fast enough: they can't figure out a way to keep it out of the hands of white males without getting called on the carpet for it.
The city of Cincinnati is following the Detroit model of "success". Typical leftwing liberals/socialists on a path of failure.
I think I see an opportunity to lower taxes.
Or else?
Threats don't mean much when you're still inside the plantation gate.
The real racists here are the NAACP I thought this work was handled through competitive bidding and Qualification or does affirmative action creep in here also?
How about this crazy idea: contracts are put out for bid, low bidder wins? That way the taxpayers in Cincinnati get the most bang for their buck. Sure, in contracting you have to ensure the bids reflect an understanding of the work to be performed, and some due-diligence to ensure the contractor is actually capable of doing what he/she says they can... But really, artificially steering work/contracts towards one contractor or another or away based on race is racism, plain and simple. Surely the good civil leaders in Cincinnati don't want to be seen as promoting racism, right?
"I thought this work was handled through competitive bidding and Qualification or does affirmative action creep in here."
HAHAHA! You've got a great sense of humor.
the cin city is a lost cause. too many idiot libs. too many blacks on the dole. God! the only reason i hang around is to care for my elderly parents.
Always time for some straight up "negro dialect" from Monica Conyers.
"Some Cincinnati civil rights leaders are demanding more work for blacks on public school construction projects."
If you are not going to do the requisite work IN THEM, why on earth would you be hired to work ON THEM.
"Only in 2010 could racisim be so brazenly obvious but acceptable."
I think Obama has set back race relations in this country by at least 60 years. He is a walking example of "no problem if you have no qualifications or experience for the job..."
I grew up in Cincinnati but now live in Clermont county. We look west to see the flames that is the city burning to the ground.
Mine was the comment about Harry Reid.
That is some funny video.
When Columbus Public Schools were starting a major building program a few years ago, the Board and black contractors openly tried to contrive the rules to give work to black contractors. Many board meetings were shown on the community access channel where the board tried to circumvent open bidding laws.
It's time for a Democrat to make some promises to placate the mob.
Democrat: We promise to increase the number of minority contracts by 50% in response to the Republicans who are burning five black churches a month.
Mob: SAVE OUR CHURCHES!!!!!
Most of the white-guilt libs and independents thought they were buying racial absolution with their vote.
They quickly found out that they got RIPPED OFF, and that this guy had no intention of letting the power of victimhood slide by the wayside.
You hit that nail directly on the head!
LOL, ok.
Do your worst.
No stimulus jobs for white male construction workers- Robert Reich
Spot on. I've been denied work in Detroit many times since my company is a bunch of white guys from the burbs. The one large landscape architecture/architecture firm in the City has a black partner. They get 99% of all the work. He will be retiring soon so I have no idea who the hell is going to do the work.
"the only reason i hang around is to care for my elderly parents."
Well, it's certainly not for the Reds!
Who's the mob boss in Cincinnati?
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
-Martin Luthur King, Jr.-
You should have kissed Columbus goodbye when the local developers put in your black ceremonial mayor. What a maroon!
the baseball team, or the socialists in city council? :^)
"that many whites got over their white-guilt when they voted for Obama"
Pity it took them that long. That freakin' long. Now they'll be wondering why the minorities still aren't happy.
All large American cities have minority-owned business contract quotas.
It's been that way for decades.
In other words, they don't have to be qualified, and they don't have to be competent, they just have to be black.

John Peeler: In what has become a pattern for Obama, he backed down, adopted the essentials of the Republican argument, and left his own EPA Director swinging in the wind.
Time for a 2012 Democratic Primary Challenge?
Karen Bernal: As elated as we were when President Obama was elected in 2008, after a disastrous eight years under the repressive and war-mongering Bush Administration, the Obama Administration has been a major disappointment to the working class and Progressives of this country.
UN's Dysfunction Just What Its Founders Intended
Adam Chapnik: Does North Korea's rise to the presidency of the United Nations Conference on Disarmament prove that the organization is dysfunctional? Yes, in a way it does, but it is precisely the kind of creative and ultimately useful dysfunction that the founders of the U.N. had in mind.
Immigration Bill Too Much for Mitt to Read
Andrea Nill: Romney has decided to play it safe by touting border security and opposing immigration reform on the grounds that he'd have to read a really long bill
Jon Huntsman Makes His Moves
Brent Budowsky: It is easy to conceive of Huntsman running a New Hampshire primary campaign that widens his criticism of China well beyond strong condemnation of Chinese human-rights abuses.
Cesar Chavez: Change Needs More than "Yes We Can"
A Disengaged Presidency
Brent Budowsky: Obama's political strategy is to position himself as the lofty leader above the fray, appealing to voters who tell pollsters that "we must work together" without risking his elevated image of possessing the hands-on executive leadership that is required to make hard decisions on tough issues in a divided government.
Go to Wisconsin, President Obama
Dems Need a Liberal Reagan
Brent Bukowsky: Democrats desperately need a progressive version of Ronald Reagan, who stood for his own high principles and battled from the wilderness of 1976 to the presidency in 1980.
Haiti's Michel Martelly: The Election, Fraud, and the Future
Georgianne Nienaber: Martelly talked about the electoral process, the meaning of democracy, the profound challenges facing Haiti, the controversial United Nations presence, and how his flamboyant past sometimes "haunts" him as he seeks the Presidency.
Obama Attacks His Political Base
Randy Shaw: After his decision to freeze federal salaries – not as part of any broader budget and tax deal, but unilaterally – it's clear that the President is far more politically clueless than previously thought.
When the Poor Conspire to Keep Themselves Poor
David Love: Although the history still has yet to be written on the Obama presidency, it looks as if the second coming of F.D.R. ain't gonna happen just yet. There are very good intentions in this administration, mixed with conflicting allegiances and amateurism.
Call to Arms to the Nation's Creative Communities
Brent Budowsky: When the polls show the Republicans have a strong chance of gaining control of the House of Representatives, and possibly the United States Senate, what they really mean is that so many of those who believe in real and lasting change are not planning to vote.

Apple vs. Amazon: Has the iPad mini kindled new competition?
Amazon's Kindle line of tablets is more reminiscent of Apple's iPad lineup than other Android devices - with everything from the hardware to the app store controlled by a single company.
Amazon's Kindle line of tablets is more reminiscent of Apple's iPad lineup than other Android devices - with everything from the hardware to the app store controlled by a single company.
The U.S. International Trade Commission will block the importation of some HTC products starting next April 19 after it found that the company infringed Apple patents.
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has delayed ruling on a patent case brought against smartphone maker HTC by Apple.
PC World readers like their iPhones. More survey participants own this model than any other phone, and an unusually high proportion of them praised its durability, ease-of-use, design, and camera quality in our 2011 Reliability and Service survey.
HTC has won a case in the U.S. that alleged the Taiwanese smartphone maker had infringed on several digital camera patents controlled by FlashPoint Technology.
China has passed the U.S. in the third quarter to become the world's largest smartphone market by shipments, but may find it tough to hold the position in the next two quarters, according to a research firm.
Once again, a Facebook phone is the talk of the tech world, despite Mark Zuckerberg's insistence that his company is not building a smartphone.
The U.S. International Trade Commission has determined that Apple did not infringe technology patents owned by S3 Graphics and ended its investigation of the matter, the ITC announced Monday.
Samsung became the biggest smartphone vendor in the world during the third quarter, and Android's market share has surpassed 50 percent for the first time, market research company Gartner said on Tuesday as it reported on phone sales to end-users.
Owners of HTC phones will have to wait until early 2012 for their device's mobile OS to be upgraded to Google's Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.
Early next year, seven smartphones from HTC will be upgraded to Android 4.0, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich, the company said on Monday.
HTC has announced the launch of the Sensation XL and Sensation XE Android smartphones in Australia, the first two smartphones in the country that include integrated Beats Audio.
HTC on Thursday introduced a Rezound smartphone that will ship ready to upgrade to Android 4.0.
While the iPad continues to be a big success, the tablet market offers a harsher climate to vendors other than Apple -- and pricing strategies may be an important factor in their difficulties.
After reporting sales of 13.2 million smartphones during the third quarter, HTC is now the fourth largest smartphone vendor after having outpaced Research In Motion, according to market research company Canalys.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

For the 76ers to have any chance of extending their season, they have to do two things Wednesday night at AmericanAirlines Arena: start with a lot of energy, then somehow sustain it.
"We need to play all 48 minutes, especially going down on the road in an elimination game," Sixers coach Doug Collins said of Game 5 of the best-of-seven series against the Miami Heat. The Heat lead, three games to one.
"We don't want to dig ourselves a hole," Collins said.
Actually, the Sixers' first-quarter success against the Heat was a hot topic after Tuesday's practice at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Countdown to 2010!!!
At Culips, we will be taking a short break to rest and relax during the holidays. In this break we will be featuring a countdown of our Top 4 most popular episodes. Also during this short break we will be preparing to gear up for some exciting new changes, including a new website design and a forum for you to discuss your English questions.
Expression: Corny
Sometimes movies are corny, or music is corny. It is a fun adjective that can describe just about anything. A synonym for corny is cheesy, and it has nothing to do with cheese! Check out this episode to hear our corny examples. Harp: Corny. Jessie: I like it. Harp: I like it as well. Jessie: more »
Expression: Down-to-earth
Are you a down-to-earth person or do you often have you head in the clouds? Are you realistic and sensible or are you a dreamer? In this episode we look at expressions used to describe people. Armando sent us a question about the expression down-to-earth and we decided to dedicate an episode to it and more »
Indian Summer
Once again I'm going to blog about the weather. I know, I know, I'm a bit obsessed with the weather. I talk about it all the time, but it's just so wonderful right now that I have to talk about it! Montreal is in the middle of an Indian summer. "Indian summer" is an informal more »
Expression: To be caught red-handed
When people commit crimes sometimes they get caught! That person may be caught in the act of doing it, and if you are caught in the act then we can say that you were caught red-handed. Another similar expression that is almost never used in a serious way is to be caught with your hand more »
Expression: All talk (and no action)
Do you talk about doing something but never do it? Then other people might be saying that you are all talk. People can be all talk at work, or they can be all talk about some plans they have for their future. Do you think that being all talk is a good thing? Harp: Yeah, more »
Expression: Wing it
At Culips, we plan our episodes in advance, we don't just wing it. You can be specific and say that people can wing presentations or speeches, or you can simply say "wing it." When you are not prepared, but you have to do something, you should try winging it. Maura: Let's give a dialogue example, more »
Where The Wild Things Are
There is a new movie that comes out today in Canada called Where The Wild Things Are. It is based on a children's book by Maurice Sendak. This was a book that I read as a child, but it was actually published in 1963. If you want to know more about this book you can more »

Expression: Handy
Are you handy? Yes, this little expression is connected to hands and your ability to use yours well. Handy can be used to talk about a person or thing, but it is used a little bit differently. It is very handy to know many English expressions, so listen to this episode to learn another one! more »
Train rides
I think every kid is fascinated with trains. My nephew loves taking the train and creating toy trains. Since I was young I have wanted to take the train, especially through the Rocky Mountains, from Edmonton to Vancouver, but I never had the chance. When I started traveling overseas at the age of 21 I more »

Dwyane Wade Heard What We Said About His Acting Ability
On Tuesday, we sized up Dwyane Wade's acting ability based on his latest commercial for Gatorade's G Series. Well, Men's Health saw the post and happened to have Wade swoop by their offices yesterday. Apparently, they think we said LeBron James is a better actor than Wade (which is not exactly what we said), but they did have some fun with MV3 and asked him to rank other NBA greats' acting ability.
"The folks at the Miami New Times had some fightin' words: New teammate LeBron James is a better actor, they said. As proof, they offered his Nike commercial in the pool," wrote Men's Health.
We did say LeBron's Nike commercial was a better ad, but we also said, "Wade does his job well, and it's not his fault the ad men couldn't come up with a more clever commercial."
Relations between New Times and the Heat are at an all-time low. They won't even let us interview Banana Man. So just to be clear: Wade, we think you're a promising improvisational actor. Maybe when you're home in Chicago, you can take some lessons at the famed Second City. We see SNL hosting gigs in your future.

Hello, this is my first attempt at writing a guide on ebay and it is about lord of the rings warhammer. Namely how to start an army, enjoy :).
How to start a lord of the rings army...
1.First of all you need to pick which side you want to collect, this could be either Good or Evil. Personally i collect the good army but it all depends on what you like.
2.Next you need to pick whether there is a specific kind of troop you want to collect. For the good side these are like Gondor, Rohan or Elves. Or for Evil there are teams like Isengard or mordor. There are lots more than those are just an example. You do not need to pick a specific army but it is always a good idea to start off with just one so you dont get too carried away.
3.After you have made this decision then its time to buy some models.
4.To do this, take the army you are buying and look around for different troops. To start i would reccommend getting troops and not heroes. For example if you want to start with gondor you could buy some warriors of minas tirith. For other armies there are: Mordor orcs, Rohan warriors or Isengard uruk-hai.
5.The biggest mistake you culd make at this point is to buy masses and masses of warhammer. This is because when you see all of this warhammer unpainted and glued, it can look quite danting and you cant really be bothered to do it.
6. The best thing to do is limit yourself to only get more when you have finished painting all of your other models.
I hope that this guide gives new lord of the rings gamers hints from my mistakes. Thanks for reading.

The Philadelphia Eagles proved to be unpredictable in last season's NFL draft.
Especially in the second round when they selected Stanford tight end Zach Ertz.
Tight end didn't appear to be a glaring need with Brent Celek as the starter, but the Eagles went ahead and selected Ertz with the third pick of the second round. By the way, the Eagles also had added James Casey in free agency, so the selection of Ertz was even more surprising considering the needs on defense.
It's an interesting thing to watch as the 2014 draft inches closer.
The Eagles have needs at a number of positions such as wide receiver and linebacker, but anything is possible. Drafting Ertz is certainly proof of that fact.
Celek remained the starter, but he caught just 32 passes -- the fewest for him since becoming the top option in 2009. Celek started 16 of the Eagles' 17 games, which included the divisional playoff loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Casey wasn't utilized all that much yet he was solid on special teams.
Ertz wound up with 36 receptions for 469 yards and four touchdowns and proved his mettle more and more as the season continued.
But just because the Eagles have certain needs in the draft doesn't mean they'll go that way. General manager Howie Roseman made that abundantly clear last year.

What was shaping up as a very long day of Olympic tennis for Rafael Nadal began shortly after 11 a.m., when he played the first point of what would become a victory that put him in the singles quarterfinals.
Then, after a break of less than 2 hours, Nadal went back out on court for a men's doubles semifinal Thursday and won that, too, assuring himself of leaving the Rio de Janeiro Games with at least one medal for Spain.
Apparently, though, that was enough for the 14-time Grand Slam champion, who pulled out of mixed doubles shortly before he was scheduled to pick up his racket yet again in the evening for a first-round match in that event.

Historical Traveler Reviews Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel Arlington
Great, just don't count on the shuttle
The hotel is in a good location. The beds are great (sweet sleeper pillowtop), but the ever important shuttle service to the metro and airport is unreliable at best. My wife and I were actually stranded at the Pentagon City shuttle stop at 11:20 pm. The shuttle is supposed to pick up there at 15 and 45 past the hour with the last pick-up scheduled for 11:15pm. We were at the stop at 11:05 and by 11:20 I called the hotel to see where the shuttle was and I was informed that I had "missed" the 11:15 pick-up. We obviously had not missed the pick-up because we had been there since 11:05. The shuttle finally showed up. We were lied to by the driver as to the reason why they were so late. After speakiing with management we were given a free night. The shuttle problems continued throughout our stay with varying degrees of severity. The shuttle is vital to the success of this location and they are dropping the ball! If you have time sensitive plans don't stay here as the shuttles run in a nonchalant manner, when they run.
Great Hotel, Great Location
I recently came to DC with my husband and two kids and stayed at the Sheraton national. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated, the restaurante reasonable and great for a quick meal on the way out, and the hotel offers easy access to the mall, pentagon, and the rest of the usual tourist attractions in Washington DC and Virginia. I will definitely stay again the next time I am in the area.
Good deal, great service, nice views
We stayed at the Sheraton for 3 nights with during the first week of October. I booked my tickets on hotwire and when I found out that I was booked into the Sheraton, I was worried since I had a previous unhappy experience with a Sheraton in Houston, TX. Anyways, we were initially given a room in the 3rd floor and the window faced the roof of another building. I requested the front desk for a room with a view and they immediately checked us into one on the 10th floor with a great view of the Capitol and the Washinton Monument. The room service was excellent and everyone was very friendly. The only drawback to this experience was the $16 per night fees for the parking. I thought that was way too expensive. But overall, staying in the Sheraton National was a wonderful experience.
Great Hotel
I visited the Washington, D.C. area recently and stayed at the Sheraton National Hotel in Arlington, VA. The hotel was very nice, the rooms were nice and clean and the service was amazing. I highly recommend this hotel.
Good room, don't use the Internet
We stayed in the Sheraton National for three nights in late July-early August of 2004. The staff and room were excellent. While impossible to walk anywhere, there was a free hotel shuttle to the metro station in Pentagon City every half hour. We didn't eat in the hotel because the prices were much higher than restaurants in Pentagon City. Broadband Internet is only available in the Business Center which is very expensive. I used my laptop at a connection which listed $12.95 for 24 hours. Not only was I not allowed to reconnect within a 24 hour period without an additional charge, but my credit card was billed for $22.59.
Not Worth The Money
I recently spent four nights at the Sheraton National in Arlington and found it to have some problems. Our reservation was for four adults, non-smoking, but when we arrived tired & hungry after a six hour drive we were taken to a cramped basement room with one queen bed. We complained to the front desk and were told the only other rooms available were 'smoking'. Luckily the room we ended up with had no noticible tobacco odor. Other problems we encountered were ants in the room, a staff that seemed uninformed & unable to give a correct answer about even a simple thing like restaurant hours, poorly stocked vending & ice machines, and a non-stop throng of conventioners on cell phones crowding the lobby. The food in the restaurant was good but very expensive. As for location, it's very close to the Arlington National Cemetary, the Pentagon, and a great mall in nearby Pentagon City. We could see the Washington Monument from our 7th floor room and a taxi ride to the White House took less than 10 minutes in good traffic. But don't plan on walking anywhere since the hotel is boxed in by bustling highways. You'll need a taxi or a train to go anywhere. I probably wouldn't stay at this Sheraton again. I would look for something right in DC or at least in Pentagon City.
What a PHENOMENAL Staff!!
My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Sheraton National January 8-10, 2004! Our room was extremely nice, all of the facilities were great, but what REALLY made the stay fantastic was the staff.
There was not a soul who didn't go out of their way to make our time there superb. There was a smile on every face and an eagerness to please in every staff member, no matter what his or her job! We have stayed at many fine hotels and resorts, but never have we encountered hotel personnel better than at the Sheraton National!
More pluses than minuses
The Sheraton National Hotel is an excellent value with more pluses than minuses. The price is hard to beat. I paid $42 a night through Priceline.com, and saw rates for $51 a night through Expedia. Add $16 a night for parking. The hotel is in an out-of-the-way location in Arlington. If you dont have a car, the hotel provides a free shuttle to the nearest Metro station. That could be a problem if youre a night owl; the last shuttle pick up is at 11 p.m. After that, youll have to call a cab. In addition, there are no restaurants in the immediate vicinity (except for an Ethiopian place down the block). So if you want a late-night snack youre stuck with the too-expensive restaurant and bar ($9.95 for a shot of bourbon!) The staff is very courteous, but has limited knowledge of the sites in the area. Make sure you double-check anything they tell you If you dont mind the location, this is a very fine hotel for the money. If you want to be closer to the DC action, look elsewhere.
I expected more!
Just returned from a 3 day stay at the Sheraton National. I was not very impressed. The hotel was packed with church convention goers as well as reunion parties. Very busy to say the least. The rooftop hotel was a JOKE. Talk about filthy and TINY. The sundeck was no better. The location was not desirable since it's in Arlington and you have a ways to go to downtown DC. Best part: They wave the $16.00 overnight parking for guests. And one other thing, we were on a floor with a tour group from Latin America and they did not stop making noise all night. I finally had to call the front desk to have them send security. I would not recommend this hotel for family travelers. It's more for business and quick in and out. Next time, I plan to stay in DC. YOu can't beat the convenience of it. Their elevators were extremely SLLLOOOOW too.
Great Deal
This hotel is a fantastic deal at the price we paid. There is a free shuttle to the Pentagon and the metro station near a mall. It takes abt 10 min to reach downtown by the metro. The rooms are cozy and nicely decorated. The only complain is that we were given single bed rooms despite having called in advance to ask for double bed rooms. However, the front desk gave us addional bed at no extra cost. We were quite upset but there wasn't anything we could do as the hotel was fully booked for the Memorial Day weekend. Anyway we were given free breakfast for 1 day (we stayed 3 nites) after numerous calls to the front desk.

Sampling of her quirky chocolates has been the cornerstone of her business. The flavors she offers may confuse the average palate, but they seem to be set straight once a customer actually tastes the confections. Continue reading

Walt Whitman loved the waters of what is now Laurel Springs.
In the late 19th century, the renowned poet wrote verse in the corner of Camden County where Crystal Springs empties into the Big Timber Creek.
But the waterway where Whitman also enjoyed skinny-dipping and mud-bathing is now threatened by sedimentation, particularly in the Laurel Lake portion.

Two fishermen escape boat blaze unharmed
Published 26/11/2012 | 05:00
TWO fishermen were lucky to escape with their lives when a fishing boat burst into flames and sank.
The incident happened at around 7am yesterday around four miles south of Hook Head, off Co Wexford.
The Dunmore East Lifeboat was launched following a call that the MVF Kingfisher was in distress. However, when the lifeboat arrived, the two men had already left the vessel and had taken to a life-raft.
They were picked up by the MVF Defiant – another fishing vessel that was in the area.
It is understood that around 12 boats had responded to a mayday call from the Kingfisher.
There were no reported injuries in the incident and the crew were not in the water at any time. They were said to be shaken by the incident.
By the time the lifeboat attended the scene, the fishing vessel's wheelhouse was already engulfed in flames.
The lifeboat tried to extinguish the blaze with two jets of water directed onto the deck.
However, the fire had also spread below deck, making it inaccessible to the emergency services.
The lifeboat was stood down at 10am as fears grew about the possibility of exploding fuel tanks – due to the presence of gas cylinders on board.
"When a vessel goes on fire there's only so much you can do," Neville Murphy, winchman with the Irish Coastguard helicopter, said.

Dischler earns All-State honors
CROWLEY – The long list of accolades keeps piling up for Rayne High standout Tony Dischler.
After being named the Most Valuable Player in a very competitive District 5-AAA, the UL-Monroe signee has been selected to the Louisiana Sports Writer's Association Class AAA All-State team for the first time in his four-year prep career.
Dischler did his part on the mound in 2008, helping lead the Wolves to a second-place finish in league play and a second-round appearance in the Class AAA playoffs.
On the year, Dischler went 7-2. He posted an earned run average of 1.86, giving up just 14 earned runs in 52 2/3 innings while striking out 54. He also issued just 14 walks, the lowest of anyone in the league.
Dischler's abilities weren't just limited to the mound, either. The lanky senior also produced some gaudy numbers at the plate.
He led the league in runs driven in with 38 and home runs with nine while tying for the top batting average with Crowley's Mike Doughty at .500. He also recorded five doubles and two triples while scoring 24 runs for the Wolves.
Notre Dame sophomore Ryan Leonards and Crowley High senior Mike Doughty were the only other locals to earn honors, making the squad at honorable mention.
Leonards also had a remarkable year, coming in a close second to Dischler for district MVP honors.
On the mound, Leonards compiled a record of 4-2 overall, 3-1 in league play, earning victories over Crowley High and Rayne. He finished with an ERA of 4.83 and logged 37 strikeouts in 42 innings of work.
Like Dischler, Leonards was also quite handy with the bat. He led the league in hits (37), runs (31), and stolen bases (12) and was second in doubles (12). He hit .451 on the year with one home run and 19 RBI.
Doughty played catcher for the majority of the season, hitting .500 with 13 doubles, one triple, five home runs and 38 RBI.
Parkview's Alex Byo earned the Most Valuable Player award after helping lead his Parkview Baptist Eagles to the Class AAA title with a one-hit shutout of Kaplan in the semifinals. He was also named the state tournament's MVP.
Not only did Byo 9-1 on the year with a 1.58 ERA and four saves on the mound, but he also hit .473 with eight home runs and 52 RBIs.
Byo was one of five Parkview players on the All-State team, joining pitcher Joshua Janway (10-1, 1.72 ERA), outfielder Brant Legendre (.446, 29 RBIs) and Jonathan Thompson (.482, 44 RBIs) along with utility player Alex Edward (.512, 9 HRs, 60 RBIs).
Cecilia's Jamie Calais earned the Coach of the Year award after leading his Bulldogs to a school record 25 victories in 2008.
His squad also shocked many by winning the outright District 6-AAA crown in a league that included three of the top six ranked clubs in the final coaches' poll and earned a No. 3 seed in the playoff seeding system.

Foster the People
Share This
Formed in Los Angeles in 2009 by multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter Mark Foster, indie rock trio Foster the People make melodic and atmospheric, dance-oriented pop. Foster initially began the project alone, but before long he added long-term friend Cubbie Fink on bass and drummer Mark Pontius to complete the lineup. The following year, their single "Pumped Up Kicks" was posted on their website, picking up considerable buzz online and significant airplay on KROQ, alongside packed performances at the Texas musical festival SXSW. This inevitably attracted the attention of major labels, and eventually the band signed to Columbia imprint Startime International. Early in 2011 they released a self-titled EP that featured "Pumped Up Kicks," and with the major-label support, the song became a worldwide hit.
Despite the rapid climb of the single, the bandmembers were afforded time to concentrate on writing their debut full-length, while "Pumped Up Kicks" grew in popularity and was featured on television shows including the likes of
Gossip Girl
, and a host of commercials. Later that summer the band released its debut record, Torches, which was produced mainly by Greg Kurstin (Kelly Clarkson, Ellie Goulding), with Paul Epworth (Adele, Friendly Fires) also contributing to a handful of tracks. They then embarked on tours across North America and Europe to support its release. In 2012 they took home the Billboard Music Awards' Top Rock Song accolade, and were nominated for a host of others honors, including Grammy, BRIT,
, and Teen Choice awards.
Foster the People began writing material for their sophomore record while on tour, and they laid tracks down on a portable setup before they entered the studio. Their sophomore album, the Paul Epworth-produced Supermodel, was released in March 2014. The album received middling reviews, but performed better than its predecessor, reaching number three on the U.S. album chart. Two singles, "Coming of Age" and "Best Friend," hit the Top Ten of the alternative chart.

If the Twins can't sign Joe Mauer, I think we need to go get him and make this the second coming of TBRM.
He's the kind of catcher that could transform this team for years. And right now it seems like we are on the verge of being a very competitive team with some great young players.
And we have some big contracts coming off the books before we need to start paying big contracts back. Plus we have a lot of talent that might actually be some great trading pieces.
Cordero's contract is done after this year, and Harang's could be too. Those two would free up the money to sign Mauer. And our young talent could slide in to fill those two spots. Plus we have too many starting pitchers and outfielders that are almost primetime ready.
What do you guys think: Yonder, Maloney, Dorn and Hanigan enough?

The head of the French freight forwarder Logfret, Christian Millet, died Sept. 17 at the age of 58.
Crane Worldwide Logistics appoints senior director for life sciences, while Röhlig names air freight manager for Germany.
The International Transport Workers' Federation criticized the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) saying it was told there were concerns crew could try and jump ship due to the Hanjin situation.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Electronics manufacturer Samsung said in court filings that "cargo owners are being held hostage," while Maher Terminals said it "is not required to extend free credit to Hanjin, and should not be forced to."
However, individual terminals at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will negotiate directly with chassis leasing companies over compensation for storing chassis and providing services to lessors.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske told customs brokers and forwarders Tuesday that members of a key trade facilitation program, known as CBP's Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism program, need "enhanced benefits.

While Island Lake Cat Skiing strives to provide you with a legendary powder experience, our number one priority is safety. Our mountain team is experienced and well trained in risk management and rescue techniques. All guests are equipped with a transceiver and receive a safety briefing, which includes rescue training. We strive to continuously maintain our safety record by ongoing training and professional development.
The Catskiing Safety Program
All guides and snow cat drivers participate in daily meetings where snow stability and weather are assessed. Check out our Current Weather page for the latest updates.
Island Lake subscribes to the Canadian Avalanche Association Information Exchange (InfoEx). This daily exchange of technical avalanche, terrain, snow and weather data, along with detailed hazard assessments improves the team's awareness of the local conditions and conditions across Western Canada. Learn more, visit the CAA InfoEx.
Each day a snow safety team, consisting of two guides, gathers field information and assesses snow stability. They work together with the road builder to open new terrain.
All guides, cat drivers and lodge staff carry radios during operating hours and maintain regular communication. Each guide carries rescue and first aid equipment and each snowcat is equipped with extra rescue equipment.
As part of the safety program the Island Lake team uses explosives. By artificially triggering snow instabilities on a regular basis, the risk of large-scale avalanches is reduced. This maximizes the amount of safe skiing terrain that we have to offer our guests.
Island Lake is a member of HeliCat Canada. As a member we are required to meet a strict set of safety standards and operating procedures.
The Mountain Team
At Island Lake, a guide, a tail guide and a cat driver accompany each group. All guides have been trained and certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides and / or are members of the International Federation of Mountain Guides. The tail guides have advanced first aid training and, at a minimum Canadian Avalanche Association Level One certification. Both guides and tail guides participate in ongoing training sessions, and remain current with practices found elsewhere in the industry. Island Lake cat drivers take part in pre-season training that includes basic avalanche awareness and first aid.

Jaguars RB Murphy Has Championship Rings Stolen
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) ? Jaguars running back Richard Murphy is getting to know a few of his teammates really well this week.
Murphy is bumming rides to training camp after his truck and ? more importantly ? four championship rings from his college days at LSU were stolen from outside his apartment over the weekend.
His 2010 Dodge was stolen between Saturday night and Sunday morning. The truck was found several miles away sitting on concrete blocks. Among the items missing were 30-inch rims and tires valued at $15,000, his 2007 national title ring, his 2007 Southeastern Conference championship ring and his 2006 Sugar Bowl ring. The fourth ring was a title ring issued by the school.
"Something you can't replace," Murphy said Wednesday.

A Photographic Tour of 19th Century Cambridge University
An online historical photographic tour of 19th century University of Cambridge is now on display. Visitors can view and enlarge 58 images from this rare collection of the University's schools, buildings, and grounds as they were in the mid-1800s.
The images in this display were photographed from an original bound album of Cambridge University albumen prints that were taken for William Winfield, circa 1870. Kimberly Blaker, owner and president of New Boston Fine and Rare Books, recently acquired the collection at auction.
Blaker felt that this early collection of photographs from one of the world's most prestigious universities deserved to be preserved and shared. She felt particularly compelled when to her surprise, she could find no other collection of historical photographs of the University online.
Blaker explains: "My business may be selling books, but I have great appreciation for the intrinsic value of books. They can take us back in time and place and expand our knowledge and understanding of the world, not just as it is today, but how it was yesterday, and what we may expect in the future."
Based on the QS World University Rankings, the University of Cambridge is ranked number one of the world's top 400 best universities, says USNews.com. And Cambridge, according to Wikipedia, "is the second oldest university in the English-speaking world" and "the seventh oldest globally." This, combined with the University's magnificent architecture, both interior and exterior, makes this group of photos a fascinating study. It is a very rare collection.
Most of the photographs in the permanent online photographic tour have already been identified and labeled. Blaker intends to identify and label the remainder of the colleges, buildings, and landscapes in the photographs with the assistance of site visitors.
To view the collection, visit www.NewBostonFineandRareBooks.com and go to the "Spotlight"
