Le logement est spacieux...mais bruyant car donnant sur la rue très passante même la nuit !
Il manque des petits ustensiles de cuisine tels que: éponges, ciseaux, couteaux de cuisine, , cafetière, théière etc...
Une étagère dans la salle d'eau permettrait d'y déposer les produits d'hygiène personnelle, trousses de toilette.
Une notice explicative de réglage des canaux T.V. est absolument nécessaire !
A l'arrivée l'accueil est un peu rapide .
Sinon pas mal dans l'ensemble .

The apartment was as described. However, the agent welcoming us was rushed and small things felt like they were done "on the cheap ". Some light bulbs didn't work, there was only a couple of sachets of salt and pepper (despite being advertised as having a full kitchen), and so on. WiFi was broken for best part of a day. The agent should sort this stuff out prior to arrival.
The appartment was great!
I had a problem with the wardrobe, and it was fixed within 2 days.
The only point is it can take a while to park your car ;)
I recommended this appartment, but if you hire a car it's maybe not the right location because of the parking issues.
We had a wonderful holiday in Sliema, Malta. The apartment is well located, beaches, a shopping centre and a lot of bars and restaurants were only a few minutes away, The apartment has al the supplies you need. We had a warm welcome and our host was friendly and always there to help you with questions.
Great apartment in the center of Sliema. Clean, large, comfortable. I highly recommend! It was a great time on Malta.
Everything was perfect, nice house, nice landlord, and really near of everything.
I will take it again for sure!
Great apartment with a really nice view. Plenty of room and the apartment included everything we needed. St Julians Bay is surrounded by nice restaurants and less than ten minutes walks to supermarkets and beaches. A very kind women from our own country welcomed us en explained everything. We could contact them anytime if we needed help, but fortunately that wasn't necessary. Thanks for the great stay, we had a very nice time!
What a memorable experience. The apartment was extremely clean and more than adequate for our 15 nights stay. Our host met us at the door- step although we were a little late arriving. We were shown around the apartment and given all the necessary information required. The apartment was well placed for Sliema and near to all the supermarkets etc. We would recommend to all. Many thanks to you all for your help in ensuring we had a perfect holiday.
Very nice apartment and perfect location. We had a nice stay here

RD1- Dwayne Allen, TE Clemson
Allen is an all-around stud TE prospect. He makes some really spectacular catches and has the speed and athleticism to make plays when the ball is in his hands. He is also a very solid runblocker.
RD2- Jerel Worthy, DT MSU
The Giants steal another DT in the 2nd round. I believe Worthy will fall because of his lack of endurance, questions about his motor, and him disappearing in some games. Worthy could develope into an absolute menace and provide some quality depth to the vicious front 4 that the Giants covet all too well.
RD3- Cliff Harris, CB Oregon
Ballhawk with punt return skills.

I remember the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers when it first appeared in the US — I was in college, so it didn't capture my attention except for all the attention give to it by the media at the time. Kids were going CRAZY about it! I remember catching an episode or two as I flipped channels occasionally, and for the life of me I just couldn't figure it out.
First, it was readily apparent that the show consisted of two different parts. There was the US-based filming with its five teenager heroes and two trouble-makers. And then there was the filming of the actual Rangers in costume and the scenes that were shot for the Japanese show, Super Sentai. And then there were all the little things that we, as adults, pick up on so easily but kids can overlook without hesitation: bad lip synching, mismatched body shape/height between US actors and the Japanese Rangers, martial art choreography with obvious misses, and so much more.
But here's the thing — the show was such a hit! Continue Reading "Go Go Power Rangers! It's the Complete First Series!" »

A heart transplant is an operation in which a failing, diseased heart is replaced with a healthier, donor heart. Heart transplant is a treatment that's usually reserved for people who have tried medications or other surgeries, but their conditions haven't improved sufficiently.
While a heart transplant is a major operation, your chance of survival is good, with appropriate follow-up care.
When faced with a decision about having a heart transplant, know what to expect of the heart transplant process, the surgery itself, potential risks and follow-up care.
A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure to place a kidney from a live or deceased donor into a person whose kidneys no longer function properly.
Your kidneys remove excess fluid and waste from your blood. When your kidneys lose their filtering ability, dangerous levels of fluid and waste accumulate in your body — a condition known as kidney failure or end-stage kidney disease. A kidney transplant is often the best treatment for kidney failure.
Only one donated kidney is needed to replace two failed kidneys, making living-donor kidney transplantation an option. If a compatible living donor isn't available for a kidney transplant, your name may be placed on a kidney transplant waiting list to receive a kidney from a deceased donor. The wait is usually a few years.
A liver transplant is a surgical procedure to remove a diseased liver and replace it with a healthy liver from a donor. Most liver transplant operations use livers from deceased donors, though a liver may also come from a living donor.
The number of people waiting for new livers is much larger than the number of available livers, so liver transplant is reserved for people who are critically ill. Some people receive a liver transplant right away, while others spend many months waiting for a liver transplant.
A lung transplant is a surgical procedure to replace a diseased or failing lung with a healthy lung, usually from a deceased donor. Depending on your medical condition, a lung transplant may involve replacing one of your lungs or both of them. In some situations, the lungs may be transplanted along with a donor heart.
A pancreas transplant is a surgical procedure to place a healthy pancreas from a deceased donor into a person whose pancreas no longer functions properly. Almost all pancreas transplants are done to treat type 1 diabetes.
Your pancreas is an organ that lies behind the lower part of your stomach. One of its main functions is to make insulin, a hormone that regulates the absorption of sugar (glucose) into your cells. Type 1 diabetes results when your pancreas can't make enough insulin, causing your blood sugar to rise to dangerous levels.
The side effects of a pancreas transplant can be significant, so a pancreas transplant is typically reserved for those who have serious diabetes complications. A pancreas transplant is often done in conjunction with a kidney transplant.

Quotes of the day
posted at 10:41 pm on September 12, 2013 by Allahpundit
On Thursday, Sept. 12, when Russian and American diplomats came to the negotiating table in Geneva, the Russian side came in with the upper hand. The previous night, they had sent Washington a proposal for dismantling Syria's stockpiles of chemical weapons. According to the Russian diplomat Alexei Pushkov, who discussed the outlines of the proposal with TIME, it includes several complicated phases and gives Syria a leading role in the destruction of its own chemical arsenal. The American side, meanwhile, has one trump card in these negotiations — the threat of a military strike against Syria. But Russia seems ready to call that a bluff. "If the US wants to play the main fiddle here, let them go ahead and occupy Syria like they did Iraq or destroy it from the air like they did in Libya," says Pushkov, who is the chairman of the foreign affairs committee of Russia's parliament, the State Duma. "Those are their only two options for taking the lead at this point."…
But regardless of its final phase, the proposal would clearly give Syria substantial control over the process at every step. The role of the U.S. would be much more modest, says Pushkov. "As one of the leading powers in the world, they will of course influence this process," he says. "But all of this will be done on Syrian territory. So either Obama has to put boots on the ground, occupy Syria and destroy the weapons himself, or he has to accept the necessity for negotiations with the Syrian government through the mechanisms of the United Nations."
Well these are the fruits of a completely incompetent, epically incompetent foreign policy, diplomacy by Obama. Here is the president of the greatest democracy on earth being lectured, insulting really, in an American newspaper about human rights, about international law, about the protection of the elderly and children in wartime. I mean the chutzpah of writing that by a KGB thug whose last adventure in the world was to invade Georgia, detach two of its provinces and declare them independent, and who for the last decade has been supplying Assad, who we are essentially calling a war criminal, with huge amounts of weaponry including the elements of poison gas.
What we're seeing here is Putin so confident of himself after Obama had to acquiesce to this face-saving negotiation that he could actually engage in this. It's an index of how Obama has been played and continues to be right now in Geneva.
At dinner the other night, perusing the debacle that is Syria, a German friend observed: "It's the post-American world — and that means chaos." We were joined by John Kornblum, the former U.S. ambassador to Germany, whose verdict was similar: "What you're seeing is the steady break-up of the postwar system."…
The sight of a president who draws a red line on chemical attack and then says "I didn't set a red line" (the world did); who has Kerry plead a powerful case for military action only to stall; who defers to Congress but seems happy enough with Congress ambling back into session more than a week later; who notes that for "nearly seven decades the United States has been the anchor of global security," and then declares "America is not the world's policeman" — the sight of all this has marked a moment when America signaled an inward turn that leaves the world anchorless…
In Berlin, which survived as a free city because of a U.S. red line, the change has been noted. It has also been noted in Tehran, Moscow, Beijing and Jerusalem.
"Isolationism" is the lazy term often applied to the attitude now found among Democrats and Republicans alike. It is true that the US has a history of periodically withdrawing into its own vast continental indifference, as it did after the first world war. But this time feels different…
I am writing this column on the 12th anniversary of the 11 September terrorist attacks which launched the US into that decade of war – justifiably, in the immediate response to al-Qaida in Afghanistan, unjustifiably and disastrously in Iraq. This is a very different America now.
Maybe after some years spent putting its own house in order it will come back as the – for all its many faults and hypocrisies – indispensable anchor of some kind of liberal international order. Yet given not just its structural domestic problems but above all the changing global power constellation around it, I doubt it. To the many critics and downright enemies of the US in Europe and across the globe, I say only this: if you didn't like that old world in which the US regularly intervened, just see how you like the new one in which it does not.
For more than a decade — after he replaced Boris Yeltsin in the Kremlin and even during the time he had to serve as prime minister under his protege, Dmitry Medvedev — Russian President Vladimir Putin has systematically and consistently pursued a policy that can be labeled the Putin Doctrine. In a nutshell, Putin seeks to renew Russia's status and influence in both regional and global politics and make the Russian Federation a great power again. To achieve this goal, he challenges and subverts America's posture and interests, relying on three main components…
In the beginning of his presidency, Obama sought to "reset" relations between Washington and Moscow. He even revised some controversial plans to deploy missile systems in Eastern Europe as a trust-building measure designed to appease Putin. Yet the fundamental objectives of the Putin Doctrine made these American gestures ineffective and, in fact, only bolstered Putin's determination and tenacity.
Putin believes that the U.S. is economically and politically declining and that it is socially degenerating. Indeed, Putin sees the wariness among the American people and their political representatives in the case of Syria and thinks that this is more proof of U.S. weakness and indecisiveness amid Russia's growing power and influence.
The speech was left to encompass a contradiction. The president wished to reassert his credibility while engaging in a forced concession. So the beginning and end were an argument for limited military strikes based on an appeal to American exceptionalism. The rest was an explanation of why such action would not be forthcoming — and is no longer likely. A strike Obama could not effectively justify even with videos of gassed children will not be justified by news of a stalled or inconclusive inspection process.
The resulting message was boldly mixed. Assad is a moral monster — who is now our partner in negotiations. The consequences would be terrible "if we fail to act" — which now seems the most likely course. America "doesn't do pinpricks" — especially when it does not do anything. "The burdens of leadership are often heavy" — unless they are not assumed…
[T]his remains a sad moment for the United States. We have seen a Putin power play, based on a Kerry gaffe, leading to a face-saving presidential retreat — and this was apparently the best of the available options.
Putin's piece is aimed at influencing American public opinion for the purpose of undermining the effectiveness of American power. It deviously reinforces both dovish and hawkish arguments against the administration's Syria policy. It reminds the doves that military action against Syria goes against everything they believe–and that Obama as a candidate claimed to believe. It reminds the hawks that Obama has shown no inclination or capacity to lead a serious military effort…
Putin doesn't take his readers for idiots, he takes Obama for a fool–a bumbling improviser who can be rolled by appealing to his vanity and his short-term political needs, and whose actions have no broader purpose. Even the New York Times editorial page acknowledges that last point: "The [Tuesday] speech lacked any real sense of what Mr. Obama's long-term or even medium-term strategy might be, other than his repeated promise not to drag a nation fed up with wars into a 'boots-on-the-ground' fight."…
Because America is so much mightier than Russia, the American presidency is a much stronger position than the Russian presidency. But a strong man in a position of weakness, if he is ruthless about taking advantage of his adversary's vulnerabilities, can get the better of weak man in a position of strength. Saul Alinsky understood that, and so does Vladimir Putin.
Vladimir Putin rose to power because of his service in the KGB, which in the 1970s was trying to exploit and manipulate the American antiwar movement. We know that while Kerry and others on the left were comparing American troops to Genghis Kahn and throwing their medals away, the KGB was working overtime to infiltrate antiwar groups and overtly propagandizing with the same messages embraced by American liberals.
Kerry has certainly changed his tune. It would appear that Putin has not…
Putin was doing exactly what his bosses at the KGB showed him back in the day, especially when it comes to Democrats: tug at the pacifistic heartstrings of the left when trying to hamstring an American adversary at the negotiating table.
Kerry begins his negotiations with his Russian counterpart today, and any idea that the US was going to strike has evaporated. Obama is inert, rendering Kerry's threats empty. As Putin's op-ed shows, the old game can still be quite effective.
What the president's supporters are hoping for at this point is the same thing we all want—for the good foreign policy fairy to save President Obama (and the country) from the ugly and humiliating trap of a Syria policy he so carefully designed for himself. Luck matters, and America's structural position in world affairs is so strong that we often manage to extricate ourselves from nasty scrapes with far fewer bruises than our enemies and rivals would like to inflict.
But even the administration's most ardent supporters at this point must know in their heart of hearts that President Obama's chances of being ranked as one of our great foreign policy presidents are not very high—and they are melting faster than a Himalayan glacier in an IPCC report. Like Blanche DuBois in a "Streetcar Named Desire", President Obama has worked himself into a position in which he must depend on the kindness of strangers like Vladimir Putin. It didn't work out very well for her; let's hope that President Obama (and the country he leads) can somehow escape the full price of our Syria clusterfarce.
The fact that Putin is not the most credible messenger when it comes to the rule of law or pacificism is one thing, but this has always been his strength: taking words and concepts with generally agreed upon meanings—laws, elections, constitutions—and redefining them for his own strategic benefit, and then cloaking himself in their legitimizing powers.
And if the last week has shown us anything, it is that there is one man in the game who has a strategy, and it is not Obama. So far, Putin has played it all right, and accomplished two goals: standing up to U.S. aggression, which will play nicely at home, and keeping Assad in power. Obama will maybe accomplish one—getting Assad to give up his chemical weapons—if he's lucky. The other one—getting Assad out—well, we'll just walk that one back, won't we. And in terms of addressing the people, well, Putin's now addressing yours, Mr. President.
So if you're keeping score this week, here's the tally: Putin 2, Obama 0.

|Clear and easy
User: Ramona R, Jan 4, 2011
|The S4 works well right out of the box. I easily paired it to my Blackberry Torch and it automatically uploaded my contacts. And although the pronounication isnt always perfect, it correctly announces the callers name. My first test calls (sent and recieved) worked well with some callers claiming that it sounds even better than our home phone. However, sometimes when Im trying to make a call and singing out, "Blue Ant, speak to me," the device wont always recognize that Im trying to activate it. Plus, Im still trying to remember all of the available voice commands but the "What can I say" feature helps here tremendously. Overall, a very good purchase for those that prefer a truly hands-free speakerphone experience.
|Very good indeed - for a handsfree
User: Michael L, Feb 29, 2012
Blue Ant seems to make some really innovative handsfree equipment. This unit is truly hands free. Turn it on and tell it what you want it to do. Turn off the LEDs? Tell it. Dial a number? Tell it. Accept or reject a call? Just talk.
Annoyance - The unit is excessively chatty. How many times do you have to hear a long winded audio thesis on your phone is connected? A simple one-word "connected" will do. A long sentence is not required.
But really, get its attention by saying Blue Ant speak to me and you have full control of the unit except for volume. The sound you hear is very very good. The unit is attractive and seems to run forever on a charge. The person you are talking to sometimes cannot hear you clearly, but frankly I have 6-7 other top end handsfree units and no matter how sophisticated they say they are they all sound bad to your callee at times. The only way to fix that is with a headset. This one works as well as any for outgoing voice, better than most for incoming, and the voice control is amazing.
My big beef? I updated the software - or rather I tried to - and bricked it. Blue Ant tried to help but it never worked again and they would not take it back. I bought another because it was so good but man that ticked me off. Do NOT update your software. The thing is working, so leave it alone.
Id like to see a remote microphone for this to improve outgoing voice quality. A lavilier mic would be perfect. Then it would be 5 stars.

Reviews of this property
We had a fantastic time and Rob was very helpful. Would highly recommend the studio and area we stayed.
Very nice, compact studio. Clean and accesible. Rob was on holiday so his wife Galith was in charge. She provide us with a fan to survive the heat. She was ever so kind. Our flight left at 9pm so Galith kept our luggage at their place so we could enjoy the city on our last day.
Rob is a very nice guy and had good tips for parking and transportation. The room was like described, clean and very close to a tram station and the city centre. I will definetly come back and would recommend the place to anyone!!!
We spent a few days in the Studio and everything was perfect. Taking a coffe in the little terrace of the floating studio with the canal in front of you is amazing! The locations is really good: bars, restaurants and a supermarket just a couple of minutes walking. In bicycle you reach the city centre in about 15min and in public transport just 5.
We couldn't met Rob & Galith on our arrival, but their friend Mark and their neighbour Ben were really kind and helpfull.
I will undoubtedly recomend this studio :)
We spent a week in Ámsterdam at Rob's studio, everything went very good. The studio is well located to go to the central station and to the center (20-30min walk). Rob and his wife were very friendly with us, and had several kind details. Our staying was wonderful and we hope to come back soon !
The perfect place to stay for two persons. Very nice little Place. The host Rob and his wife live at the same address but you are completely private at your studio. Except of arriving, leaving and if you ask for something you won't be disturbed. Perfect! Definitely we would like to stay again someday.
Tram and bus is just about 5 minutes away. In about 10 minutes in the tram you can reach the city center.
The Studio is near the best brewery in Amsterdam, you will enjoy the strong and tasty locally made beer.
You are located 30 minutes walking from the city center, quite far but is a nice stroll.
We stayed with our one-year old daughter and was really small room for us, maybe perfect for a couple.
Rob was an attentative host.

1. Z. Brown OLB UNC Simple Best Player Available (could very well end up being Fleener, Hightower, etc. but I think it will be brown). Practically a second round pick and youre getting the best athlete at the position. Kid has great upside especially in a young and good character Front 7 like the Giants.
2. Kelechi Osemele OG Iowa State I think he is a very underrated OL in this draft. Keep DD at OT and have Osemele opposite Snee.
3. Mychal Kendricks ILB California another prospect who I feel is underrated. Has the size and athleticism to be a three down LB.
4a. R. Turbin RB Utah State Big power back who can be a solid replacement for Jacobs. Runs hard and low. Has decent ball skills out of the backfield. Can Pass Block. Isnt going to break any ankles but will run through defenders.
4b. L. Green TE Louisiana Lafayette Great Receiving Threat in the mould of Hernandez. Runs a 4.5 40yrd dash. Isnt a great blocker but gives great effort.
5. N. Potter OL Boise State Solid OL who can play all down the line. Will add solid depth and needed youth. Potential starting quality after a few years as back up. I am very high on him personally.
6. D. Page-Moss DE UNC Injuries have him so low but was a 1st round potential prior to it. After a year of getting back in football shape and rotating in (i.e. M. Austin) could be a sleeper star
7. Blair Walsh K Georgia I just really hate L.Tynes and want a new kicker. Yes he had a ok year but I want to feel confident not scared when my kicker takes the field.

Excerpt: "There were plenty of things that went wrong in the New York Giants title defense in 2012.
This week, we're taking a look at five Giant issues that kept the 2011 champs from making it back to the playoffs. Today, we explore the Giants pass rush and what went wrong.
The numbers: The Giants went from having 48 sacks in 2011 to 33 this past season.
And of those 33 sacks, the Giants big four pass rushers of Jason Pierre-Paul (6.5), Justin Tuck (4.0), Osi Umenyiora (6.0) and Mathias Kiwanuka (3.0) combined for 19.5 sacks.
In 2011, Pierre-Paul had 16.5 sacks alone. So what happened?
The reasons: The players all said offenses made the pass rush a center of attention. Quarterbacks made a concerted effort to get rid of the ball much faster. There were shorter drop backs and quicker releases.
Running backs and tight ends often chipped on the Giants ends before sometimes releasing.
Thats a good question, head coach Tom Coughlin said when asked about what happened to his pass rush and sacks last week on WFAN. We were greatly down and diminished in that number. There are a lot of reasons that you can talk about. It wasnt always chips and double teams. We didnt win one-on-one battles. There were opportunities and we didnt take advantage of it.
Coughlin is right. The Giants didnt win enough one-on-one battles. They needed greater production out of their rushers." Read more...

Media outlets should have learned a lesson from when Village Voice Media got caught spamming Reddit and basically had to grovel for the Mechagodzilla of link aggregation sites' forgiveness, but they didn't. We know this because the Daily Dot ferreted out a new spammer, no less than The Atlantic's social media editor, Jared Keller–a.k.a. "SlaterHearst" during his time pimping Atlantic articles to the Redditorati, a.k.a. "redditors." Mr. Keller's skullduggery was revealed to Daily Dot by finding him on OK Cupid, where he used the same screen name, describing himself as an "Attempted journalist" and "lover of new ideas."
As "SlaterHearst," Mr. Keller was a highly successful redditor until the site banned him last month: Read More

Do you have a sweet tooth? According to a recent report by the research organization NPD Group, Americans are cutting back on sugary foods and drinks. Today, on average, kids are eating and drinking sugary sweets 126 times less than they did in 1998.
"This change is about the family," NPD Vice President Harry Balzer told TFK. "Families are altering their eating patterns."
Sweet Survey
Since March 1, 1980, the NPD Group has been surveying households across the United States about how they eat. The study includes 5,000 people in 2,000 households. Families taking part in the survey keep a journal of their daily diets for two weeks. During that time, each individual keeps a tally on how many sweets and sugary treats he or she consumes.
The study shows that a large percentage of Americans still satisfy their sweet tooth, but in smaller amounts. Nearly 98% of the adults and children surveyed still have at least one sweet, but only every two weeks. "It's not a question of whether or not you're going to have a sweet," said Balzer. "It's a matter of how frequently you're going to have a sweet." While there is no formal definition for what classifies a "sweet," NPD selected 20 products to conduct the study. The list is expansive, ranging from cookies and brownies to fruit juice and yogurt. Kids today are eating cookies 8 times less than they did in 1998, and drinking fruit juice 16 times less.
Downward Trend
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the percentage of obese kids ages 6 to 19 tripled in the U.S. between 1980 and 2000. About 9 million children were excessively overweight. Today, obesity rates are not falling, but they aren't growing, either. "There are three points to every trend," said Balzer. "There's the movement upward, the leveling off, and the decline. Right now we're [at the leveling off point]."
Schools nationwide are doing their part to put childhood obesity on a downward trend. Fried food has disappeared from many cafeteria menus. Whole-wheat bread has replaced white bread. Water and low-fat milk have replaced sugary beverages such as fruit punch, sports drinks, and soda. Many schools have also banned junk food and now require healthier snack options in their vending machines. These efforts, both at home and in school, are slowly putting kids on the right track for healthy eating.

text: Good points. I feel that Chauncey sometimes tries to get everyone involved in big games like today's, to the detriment of his shooting touch. He should try to shoot some more early in the game, just to make sure his shot is falling down, and that then we can get everyone else going offensively.

Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education
Functional Statements > Office of Career, Technical, and Adult
B. ADULT EDUCATION and LITERACY DIVISION
The Division of Adult Education and Literacy administers the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act, Title II of the Workforce Investment Act, and has overall responsibility for enabling adults to acquire the basic skills necessary to function in today's society so that they can benefit from the completion of secondary school, enhanced family life, attaining citizenship and participating in job training and retraining programs. The Division has overall responsibility for providing a broad range of services specified in the Act. The Division provides technical and program improvement assistance to National, State, and local adult education systems, programs, and organizations and carries out national leadership functions in adult education. The Director of the Division serves as the principal policy and program advisor on all adult education matters and recommends national priorities in adult education to the Assistant Secretary for Career, Technical, and Adult Education.
The Division is responsible for administering the Adult Education formula grant program to the States, and providing assistance to States to improve program quality and capacity. Division staff, in collaboration with the Policy, Research and Evaluation Staff, provides day-to-day programmatic direction to adult education research and evaluation programs. Responsibilities include interpreting national trends in the economy, workforce and education as they pertain to adult literacy and developing strategies for translating research into practice for millions of low-level literacy adults.
The Division works with states and other constituents to ensure accountability and effective program performance, assists in the identification and analysis of best practices, and develops strategies for leveraging resources at the community level.
The Division maintains liaison with other offices within the Department, the National Institute for Literacy and other Federal Agencies and develops reports and recommendations for U.S. participation in adult education and lifelong learning activities.
The Division is divided into five components:
- Accountability Team (AT),
- Monitoring and Administration Team (MAT)
- Best Practices and Dissemination Team (BPDT)
- Innovation and Improvement Team (IIT)
- Office of Correctional Education (OCE)
In addition to these teams, the crosscutting Primary and Secondary Specialty Areas and the National Programs Resource Area provide support for the work of the Division. The Primary Specialty Areas are those that are key elements to implementing OCTAE's proposed reform agenda in adult education. Staff assigned to each specialty area serves as the designated lead for implementation efforts in that area through the organization's functional teams, such as Academic Content (Reading, Writing, Math), Standards Based Reform, FBO/CBO, One-Stops, Distance Learning, Transition, Accountability/Assessment, Welfare Reform, Teacher Quality and Workplace Education/Workforce Preparation.
The Secondary Specialty Areas are those that are identified as important to the overall quality of adult education. Persons assigned secondary areas are responsible for collecting information on the state of practice in the areas and serve as the main repository of information for the area, such as Disabilities, Volunteers, Family Literacy, ASE, English Literacy/ EL/Civics, Student Leadership, and State Leadership.
Accountability Team
The AT is responsible for overall accountability of all grantees of the DAEL and for the Division's accountability to the Administration and Congress. Functions located with the AT include state and local performance accountability, data collection and reporting, audit resolution, financial reports, and negotiations of performance levels as required by applicable Federal law. The AT works with MAT and the regional structure to accomplish its tasks. The Team gathers and compiles data necessary for long-range planning, budgeting and serving adult education programs, policies and priorities in light of future needs and goals. The AT performs all duties associated with internal and external accountability requirements of the Division to include, OCTAE Priorities, the ED Strategic Plan, GPRA, PART and the Report to Congress.
In performing its responsibilities, the AT provides assistance to States in promoting excellence in State reporting systems, planning, and development; reviews annual performance and fiscal reports; reviews and resolves audits; evaluates the effectiveness of State-administered grant programs; and provides national data and prepares reports on needs, accomplishments, and trends in adult education programs and services.
Monitoring and Administration Team
The MAT is a cross-cutting team responsible for providing leadership and support for efficient and effective planning and administration of formula and discretionary grant programs, including the planning and implementation of on-site monitoring, review of state plans, and administrative technical assistance to states. It includes four regional teams that serves as liaison to states for the various resources available and works with the AT in its oversight of grantees.
In performing its responsibilities, the MAT provides assistance and advisory services to States in Adult Basic and Adult Secondary Education programs and in programs for adults of limited English-proficiency; provides assistance to States in planning State adult education programs with special emphasis on serving educationally disadvantaged adults; provides assistance to States on adult basic skills programs, adult secondary education programs, and programs for adults of limited English-proficiency; provides assistance to States on dissemination and information-sharing activities; and promotes adult education services through business and industry linkages.
Best Practices and Dissemination Team
The Team provides national information services for adult education and literacy through the Department's website. The BPDT is responsible for the identification of "what might work," or the practices that may eventually be labeled "emerging, promising, or best practices." The team develops the criteria, processes and levels of rigor needed for "what might work" designation. The BPDT is responsible for coordinating adult education research with OERI's What Works Clearinghouse. It holds the primary responsibility for disseminating evidence based research and best practices into educational programs for adults with basic skills needs.

In performing its responsibilities, the Team provides assistance and advisory services to States in the identification of innovative strategies to improve services in Adult Basic and Adult Secondary Education programs and in programs for adults of limited English-proficiency and special population programs. IIT supports projects and initiatives, such as the improvement of instructional programs and services, staff and teacher training, distance learning, English Literacy and Citizenship programs, workplace initiatives, demonstration projects, and other innovative strategies that are being implemented and evaluated for wider dissemination to improve services to adults who can benefit from basic skills instruction.

I made 4 new splits out of 2 hives to accommodate the newly hatched queen bees.
The foragers bringing in too much pollen and nectar to fill up the cells too fast. The new
queens are not ready to lay yet. How do I stop them from doing that? Is there a way
to expand the nest more so they new queen will have room to lay after her mating flight

|Program Goal: Support teachers seeking advanced certification through high quality professional teacher enhancement programs designed to improve teaching and learning.
|Objective 8.1 of 1: To increase the numbers of National Board Certified Teachers.
|Indicator 8.1.1 of 1: The number of teachers awarded National Board Certification will increase annually.

Progress: The actual number of National Board Certified Teachers is currently available for 2003. Data for each year normally will be available by early December. The target has been set at an increase of 5,000 NBCTs each year. Currently, 49 states and approximately 490 localities offer some kind of incentive for teachers to apply for National Board Certification; these incentives have helped to increase the number of applicants for National Board Certification. (These incentives include fee support, salary supplements, and license portability.) However, budget shortfalls in the states are having an impact on the incentives offered and thus the number of candidates.

Oscar de la Renta launched a new line of iPad cases this week, made of python and crocodile. There's
Red Python
Python: $390. Crocodile: $290.
Something de la Renta once said might help to explain why these reptiles had to die: "I'm a very restless person. I'm always doing something. The creative process never stops."
If only it did.
Let's just hope there's not a little mink running around when de la Renta next ponders e-readers.

City of Butte's trees in poor condition
BUTTE, Mont. - Butte Silver Bow's Urban Revitalization Agency has completed a survey of the city's publicly owned trees.
Now officials with the URA want feedback from the community.
The city of Butte paid for the survey with a grant from the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation.
A total of 4,400 trees were recorded and categorized by certain characteristics such as size, type, age and height.
Now that URA officials know what the they have, they've started looking for what it would take to maintain them.
"We have 4,400 data points related to 4,400 public trees of our urban forest and so once that data is collected we can run some analysis on it," said Karen Byrnes, the Community Development Director for Butte-Silver Bow. "We can create maps but what we have now is the ability to create a urban forestry management plan based on the data that we have," added Byrnes.
Silver Bow County officials will be holding a meeting on the study in the Butte Public Archives within the next couple of weeks. No date or time has been set yet.

text: Does anyone sell honey from their yard with just a table and the honey and a locked money box? If so have you had any problems with theft, Also, do you worry about having change for the customer? I would not be there to "man" the table. This year I have produced more honey than I could sell from my normal outlets and am looking for a "down and dirty" way to move some more product. Thanks for your advice and experiences with this.


text: I read that steroids and BVT can be dangerous. I have had asthma for almost 40 years and was on corticosteroids for a good portion of that. In the last year or so I was able to cut way back on my dose and then in the last few months have found an herbal treatment that has replaced my inhlaer usage completely till this last week when I got a virus and have been needing to use very small amounts of my inhaler. I started BVT about a week ago and have not noticed any changes yet except possibly some mild loosening of phelgm after stinging but I know it can take time and I have high hopes. As far as corticosteroid use even though it is minimal to none these days should I be concerned and what should I be watching out for? I am taking vitamin C along with stings. Also I've started using a tincture of propolis as well. Should I not use this on the days I sting as I also read using hive products simultaneoulsy while stinging can neutralize and cause and antidote effect?

The benefits of government jobs
One of the many things Republicans don't realize is just how many jobs are created by government programs.
Conservatives are always saying that money taken in taxes is removed from the private sector, but it is not. Unlike some of the 1 percent wealthiest, state and federal governments don't take tax revenue and hide it in Switzerland or some Caribbean island. They use tax money to pay people (either for work or in the form of benefits) and to buy things.
The people who receive payments buy necessities and luxuries in the private sector. Neither the state nor federal governments produce their own products.
They buy office supplies, uniforms, or military hardware from the private sector.
I think we realize this. For one thing many of us have relatives and friends who benefit directly from the way tax revenues enter the economy. This is a reality that conservative media and politicians haven't quite grasped.

Deerwood and St. Paul

What is a "tote" of honey? I was looking at a suppliers website and they say they have a tote of honey that is 258 gallons. I never heard of a tote before. What does it look like? Anybody here ever heard of a tote?
I searched and found this: it is a 275 gallon tote.
So totes of honey vary in sizes? or are they usually a standard size?
I always thought 55 gallon drums were the biggest things you can get honey in.


text: Yes Sir. The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson 3rd edition for one. It's a must for anybody into S&W hand guns. The Colt.45 Automatic if you like to work on the 1911 styled pistols. If you are getting into reloading you might want Lyman's Pistol & Revolver handbook. Of corse you will need Gun Digest. There's a few. Good luck.

We, two parents with daughter 12 years old, were very happy with our stay. The apartement is very small but pretty,tidy and with everything you need and the location is super; it is near Metro, quiet and you get the feeling of everyday life, which we appreciate. The doublebed is somewhat hard and I was worried that I would not sleep well but it was OK. All in all we recommend it warmly. Malin, Mans and Metta Ahlner.
We had a very nice stay in this apartment. We liked the neighbourhood, in easy walking distance of metro station and centre. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. The apartment is really tiny but okay for a few days; everything you need is there, it is quiet, the bed is good and it is nice to be surrounded by Portugese living in the same tiny apartments!
El apartamento está muy bien equipado y muy limpio, pero para 4 personas es demasiado pequeño. El centro está a unos 10-15 min. andando.
Appartement très bien situé, cosy et confortable avec tout l'équipement nécessaire pour passer quelques jours à Lisbonne. Accueil très sympathique de Cristovao et Cristiana.
Très bon accueil de Pedro qui nous a donné toutes les bonnes informations pour pouvoir apprécier notre séjour à Lisbonne ! ( Casa da Veronica)
Merci encore pour tout
Lisbonne nous a beaucoup charmé par sa simplicité et son côté atypique.
Un séjour très agréable que nous renouvellerons certainement.
J'ai diffusé l'adresse de votre site à bon nombre de personnes car cela vaut le coup !
이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
Nice apartment in a very good location and nice neighbourhood (almost everything in walking distance, shops, bakerys etc max 5 min away). Well equiped with everything you need for a few days. A little bit dark and small, but you probably wont find a place in Lisboa thats very different, its just the way it is in old portugese buildings. And it has its charme.
The hosts were very kind and professional, gave us a typical portugese cake as a welcome gift :)
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Although smaller than expected, it was a very nice appartement! Everything was in good condition, the location in the old Center of Lisbon is really good. And Luis was very kind and gave as a lot of useful information to explore the City.
We enjoyed our stay here in this nice neighborhood. The appartment seems to be new in use and is equipped well and very spaceous. We experienced some difficulty with electricity in the house, but all in all it was a good place to stay.
Nice and beautifull appartment in the centre of Lissabon. The room is clean and comfortable. The hostes Christiane is very kind, speaks english and likes to inform you about the city. We have enjoyd it.

The Destination
Dallas's glitzy skyline has been a beacon of style since the city's oil-fueled beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century. Today, the shimmering metropolis is full of opportunities for you and your sweetheart to indulge in its swoon-worthy boutiques and dreamy dining spots. Here, subterranean cowboy bars give way to skyscraper bistros, and art studios take root in ultra-mod Dragon Street warehouses. True to its Texas pedigree, in Dallas, everything runs big—including romance.
The Digs
Location meets luxury at The Fairmont Dallas. Thanks to its coveted address on elegant Akard Street, this AAA Four Diamond Award-winning hotel has been the premiere place to stay in the Big D since opening its doors in 1969. Chic and convenient, rooms at The Fairmont are within walking distance of the city's best bars, restaurants, and galleries. After strolling through the streets hand-in-hand, sink into your pillow-top mattress—draped in a French duvet and chenille throw—and let the twinkling lights of your city view lull you to sleep.
The Diversions
Walk to the newly finished Klyde Warren Park for an afternoon chess match and sample the area's selection of delicious food truck fare. Later, hop on the McKinney Avenue Trolley for a free ride to the art galleries of Uptown and the high-end boutiques of West Village. Just a short drive away, the Dallas Arboretum is a perennial treasure, featuring acres of gardens perfect for a leisurely lovers' walk.

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
a relationship or civil status which is similar to marriage, but does not have the same legal implications
'Civil unions would become a sort of "marriage lite". You could enter into them and take advantage of the legal benefits, but then leave them whenever you wanted. No messy divorces. No marital property laws. No alimony payments. No child support. All the benefits of marriage without any of the hassle.'World Magazine 28th February 2004
The number of people who are married has dropped steadily since the 1950s, and it is more than likely that in years to come, unmarried couples will outnumber married couples, a situation unprecedented in history. Over the last few decades, the English language has needed to respond to such changing trends and find new ways of describing committed relationships between two individuals, which do not always entail a legal marriage ceremony. For instance, the phrasal verb live together has taken on a very particular meaning, and legal systems have embraced terms such as common-law husband/wife. The term marriage lite is one of the latest coinages in this context.
there has been great
interest in civil union as a
marriage alternative for
heterosexual couples
The phrase marriage lite is most often used in journalistic circles as an informal reference to the concept of a civil union. This is a legal arrangement which grants homosexual couples some of the rights associated with marriage, but does not exactly mirror marital status, e.g. a divorce is not needed to terminate it. Civil unions have become legally recognised in many parts of the world, including Canada, parts of the United States, Scandinavia, Germany, France and Switzerland. On the 31st March 2004, the Civil Partnership Bill was put forward in the UK Parliament and would introduce the concept of civil unions into England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Though originally conceived as a legal mechanism for giving homosexual couples the same social and financial rights as married couples, latterly there has been a great deal of interest in civil union as a marriage alternative for heterosexual couples. Many see it as encompassing all of the benefits of marriage, with none of the restrictions. Couples who live together could have some rights whether or not they decide full-blown legal marriage is for them. This is informally described by some as the option of marriage lite.
The term marriage lite is a compound form inspired by commercial products such as Coca-Cola Lite, a modified cola drink which contains less sugar than standard Coca-Cola. The adjective lite dates from the mid-20th century as a variant spelling of light ('not weighing much'), and can be used productively to mean 'containing a low amount of something', usually sugar, alcohol or fat as in, e.g. lite beer or lite mayonnaise. In the term marriage lite, the analogy is presumably of a union between two people which does not contain all of the ingredients of a standard marriage.
One of the earliest notable uses of the term was in the title of a book by UK author Patricia Morgan, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for the Study of Civil Society. Morgan's book, entitled Marriage-Lite: The Rise of Cohabitation and its Consequences (Cromwell Press, 2002) is based on a range of surveys conducted over a 20-year period, and draws the general conclusion that cohabiting relationships are not as stable or permanent as legal marriage.

Two Popular Community Bank Employees Read to Children at Several Upcoming Library Story Hours
JERSEY CITY, N.J. October 18, 2013 – Who says people in banking only care about numbers?!
Two bank managers from Popular Community Bank, located at 1 Journal Square Plaza in Jersey City, came to read to children today who attended the Wednesday morning story hour at the Vincenzo Domenico Bonetti II Children's Room at the Main Library, which holds story hours on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 11 a.m.
Ana L. Sanchez, sales and service associate at Popular Community Bank, read first – Color Surprises, a pop-up book, by Chuck Murphy. Indira Lachhu, assistant branch manager at the Journal Square branch, read Baby's Colors (Karen Katz's Brand-New Baby) by Karen Katz. Both used children's books that taught as well as entertained.
Children attending the bilingual story hours at Biblioteca Criolla (4th Floor, Main Library), 472 Jersey Avenue) will be able to hear stories read on Thursdays, October 24 & 31, at 10:30 a.m., with bank storyteller Ana Sanchez also having read Los Duendes Y El Capatero by Margarita Robleda Moguel on Thursday, October 17.
In their final story book readings, Ms. Sanchez and Ms. Lachhu will read to children at the Five Corners Branch Library, 678 Newark Avenue, on Tuesday, October 22 at 10:30 a.m. Five Corners holds preschool story hours on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10:30 a.m.
"At Popular Community Bank, Community Engagement is in our DNA. Our team members devote hundreds of hours every year mentoring young students, fixing up gardens, painting schools, teaching financial literacy, sponsoring blood drives and many other activities that keep us deeply rooted in our communities." said Brian Doran, Popular Community Bank's New York Metro Region Executive. And hearing directly from the Popular Community Bank volunteers speaks volumes: Ana Sanchez believes in 'serving the community' and 'loves working with children.' And Indira Lachhu adds that her adult children are both teachers and has found out first hand that reading to children is indeed 'very rewarding.'"
The Fall 2013 Preschool Story Hours schedule (for the nine branches and Main Library) is available on the Jersey City Free Public Library website, http://www.jclibrary.org/images/Events/Sept13/fallpre.png.

Paint, Chrome, and Lots o' Muscle; Pep Boys Speed Shop Grand Opening
Pep Boys Speed Shop Grand Opening New!
Manny Moe & Jack kicked off the grand opening of first Pep Boys Speed Shop located in downtown Los Angeles May 30-31 with a SEMA-style car show, vendor product demonstrations, giveaways, and good, old-fashioned fun.
The parking lot at 1200 W. Washington Blvd. was transformed into an all-car car show featuring lifted trucks, lowriders, imports, and hot-rods from all over SoCal (yours truly was on hand showing off the MINI Cooper as well.) Gale Banks was one of the honored guests who took part in a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday. The world famous Banks Duramax-powered Sidewinder Chevy S10 was on display with its massive turbos glistening from the engine bay. We spotted FinishLineWest's lifted Toyota Sequoia sitting on a hillside, which we had the pleasure of taking off-roading a couple weeks ago. (Stay tuned for more about that adventure.)
The weekend was filled with celebrity appearances from Barry Meguiar, host of "Car Crazy" TV/Radio and president and CEO of Meguiars, the "King of the Kustomizers" George Barris, Adrienne "AJ" Janic, co-host of TLC's "Overhaulin'," and host of "Hot Import Nights," Casper Canul, the first professional Latino drifter in the Formula D series, Genevieve Chappell, "The Queen of Cars," known for hosting on ESPN and the Speed Channel.
"We are thrilled to open our first Speed Shop, as this extension of our business is a natural fit for Pep Boys," says Pep Boys senior vice president of merchandising and marketing Scott Webb. "There is a high demand for specialty performance products, and we are excited to combine our retail automotive knowledge with our service expertise to make this Speed Shop a truly one-stop shop for our enthusiast customers."
The Speed Shop featured the latest in performance products and accessories from musclecars and hot rods to sport compacts and imports to trucks and off roaders for Southern California's automotive enthusiasts. Customers can find the performance parts they need and have them professionally installed on site in one of the location's 22 service bays.

my beer drinking team has a football problem
whats eveyones team name
2015 season tbd
Not gonna be able to make the draft tonight guys, but I've got my auto draft set. Guess we'll see how well it goes. I'm guessing with auto pick is should make my selection right away, if its stupid and waits till the end of the timer I'm sorry ahead of time.
I've done a couple mock drafts with ESPN, auto pick is instant. Set your board accordingly, at less with auto pick you will be BPA disciplined.
I am The Underdogs. My real grudge league is with my THEE thread buds on the MB. But his one will be fun. Not sure who some of the screen names are for my competitiors, but I hope there is a Morehead hater or two amongst us.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
I actually think the autopick did a pretty good job for me. I did tell it what to position to pick in about half the rounds though
hmmm, no smack talk yet...

My partner and I have had problems properly operating the whole version control stuff. He is a bit more familiar than I am, yet I/we still have issues. I'll just handle my current predicament, see if you all can tell me how to fix my mess-ups, and how to avoid it in the first place.
So we have our own tasks we're working on of course. We are using Mercurial via TortoiseHG to connect with our BitBucket account. Starting from the same point, he commits one change to BitBucket, and then another. I get done with my work, locally commit my changes, and ask THG to pull down changes.
I end up with two lines in my THG graph now, my line and his(diverging from the last common version) which has two nodes on it.. I try to merge, but I just end up creating a spiderweb of red and blue. (It's late, I'm ignorant and frustrated, and at times like that my usual solution to square peg-round hole is a mallet. ...Not good, just saying....)
Why did this not do what I was expecting--namely, combine his changes with mine? How should I/we proceed in the future to avoid this? Is there an option I should have set to avoid this?
grrr....later I'll ask how I can fix it....
