I have had the nearside wiper fail over the Christmas period. To do a makeshift job I removed the arm etc and just relied on the sweep of the drivers wiper, then that stopped. Upon further examination the balljoint on the nearside has failed due to corrosion and the actuation arm of that wiper seems to have jammed against the bulkhead and possibly blown a fuse.
All easy so far - just mechanical.
Now I have no power to the motor & none to the relay. The card that is with the fuse box says the wipers are covered by fuses nos 1 & 26 - trouble is there are no such fuses in my car and no wires supplying the fusebox in those positions. Local main dealers are scratching their heads and have come up with no answers.
Car was built in Sept '97 and has the single wiper relay.
Anybody have any idea where the fuse is?

A very nice, smooth talking couple came to my door trying to sell magazines and book subscriptions. I wasn't really interested. They were working me really hard and they had a really good game going on. I wasn't interested in what they had to offer. However; I decided to make a purchase for all their efforts. They had a good story. They came to my door in Sept 2013 and it's now Feb 2014 and I have yet to receive one copy of the magazines. We purchased $89.00 worth of magazines and at this point I want my money returned.
Trying to contact the company on my receipt is a complete joke. If the mailbox is full you can't leave a message. And if you can leave a message, they don't call you back. If you send an email, they don't respond. I was finally able to reach Mr. Whitely and he told me he would research and contact me back at a different number one of the men wrote on the receipts. Sounds like pretty crappy customer service to me. They get you to buy the magazine with no intention whatsoever of sending in the order form and processing the order. My first stop is here, the next stop will be the Better Business Bureau and then on to the Attorney General for Kentucky.

A Mystery In The Wreckage: Fan Feature by Patrick Lemieux
A Mystery In The Wreckage
By Patrick Lemieux
This is the curious story of a song.
It's a piece about which we simultaneously know a good deal and very little. For example, few people around today know how it sounded or even what all the words were, yet we know what the song became in the end.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
The days before Freddie Bulsara, Brian May and Roger Taylor formed Queen in 1970 are not as murky as they once were, but there are still some mysteries hidden between the scraps of set lists, the recollections of bandmates and the few recordings which survive from that era.
In August of 1969, Freddie Bulsara joined the band Ibex. A handwritten set list sold at auction reveals the names of songs the band played at their concerts. It's a fascinating fragment of the band, showing both the blues-rock covers that influenced them and naming four original songs the band had in their repertoire. They are "Vagabond Outcast," "F.E.W.A" (which stands for Feelings Ended, Worn Away), "Priestess," and "Lover." All of these songs are worthy of attention, marking the earliest known and identifiable compositions Freddie Mercury was involved in. An article titled Queen Before Queen, by Andy Davis (appearing in Record Collector magazine, March 1996), notes that Freddie did his writing in the band with Mike Bersin, who played guitar and sang. Of these original works, "Vagabond Outcast" can even be heard on the September 9th, 1969, recording of Ibex at the Sink Club in Liverpool. We know, too, that "Priestess" would later change its name to "Cancer On My Mind."
What of the song "Lover," though?
It is with this song that the story of another, more familiar song will be examined.
In October of 1969, Ibex changed its name to Wreckage. On the 31st of October that year, the band played at Ealing College of Art in London. Two of the songs they played were "Lover" and a more recent piece called "Green," penned by Freddie Bulsara. The boxed set titled Freddie Mercury – The Solo Collection contains a rehearsal demo of "Green" from the only known surviving recording by the band. The recording was taken from a tape that actually contains three versions of the song as the band worked out different parts of it. The released version omits a part that reveals much about the songwriting process Freddie went through when looked at in larger context.
Here are some of the lyrics from "Green":
There's a place I have been
And a place I have seen today;
The deepest, darkest dungeons
That [...this verse is rather hard to make out...]
Well, I've said all my prayers,
Never answered,
Never cared
At all
I see a shadow lurking there,
It's trying to lead me to the wall
Ooh, that I'm looking for...
Never living, never living anymore, o-aah
Couldn't live without you...
[At this point the released, boxed set version can be heard]
There's a sudden change in me,
I'm another person inside of me;
Tomorrow, I'm going to see
The last of the blue skies above me...
There are more lyrics, but this is the relevant portion, which becomes evident in the next stage of Freddie Bulsara's fledgling career as a singer, songwriter and star.
Wreckage would disband in November of 1969, leaving Freddie in search of a group. In February, he would answer an ad that appeared in Melody Maker, for a band seeking a vocalist. The band was Sour Milk Sea and Freddie's audition got him the job. Chris "Dummett" Chesney recalls in the Davis article that Freddie brought to the band some of his own songs, such as "F.E.W.A," "Blag-A-Blues" and "Lover."
Another compelling piece of history surfaces here, as journalist Anthony Wood does a short, but detailed feature on the band for the Oxford Mail in March 1970. Sour Milk Sea included the lyrics to "Lover" at the end of the article:
"You never had it so good. The yoghurt pushers are here. There's a place 1 have been and a face I have seen today. I have said all my prayers, never answered, never cared at all. But there's a sudden change in me. I'm another person inside of me. Tomorrow I am going to see the last of the blue skies above me, Lover calling, I hear your voice, solar systems that surround you all your life, they remind me that you're really from another source of light. Lover, take me to your leader. I give you body and soul. Come to understand. I grow my life in the palm of your hand"
When compared to the previous lyrics of "Green," is easy to spot some identical verses. There are also lines each song has which don't appear in the other. In Wreckage, "Lover" and "Green" were distinct songs, played at different points during the same Ealing College concert, for example. During the few months of his stay with Sour Milk Sea, it appears Freddie was reworking the lyrics of "Lover" by combining them with "Green." It's unfortunate that no recordings or written lyrics to "Lover" from the Ibex/Wreckage days are known to exist, as a comparison would shed much light on Freddie Bulsara's work on the song.
Sour Milk Sea broke up in April of 1970. In the well-known, often told recounting, Freddie Bulsara knew Brian May, Roger Taylor and Tim Staffell of the band Smile. Staffell's departure from Smile in the Spring of 1970 allowed Queen to form out of the ashes, as the three combined their efforts in a new band. Queen wrote new material and brought in older works from earlier projects, like "See What A Fool I've Been," "Doing All Right," Freddie's "Rock 'n' Roll Medley" and "Lover."
The one glimpse we have into the Sour Milk Sea version of "Lover" shows us no lyrics shared with any of the known Queen recordings of "Liar." The repeats of Lover in the lyrics suggest any connection may be musical or in the lyric structure. Barry Mitchell, Queen's second bass player, joined the band in August of 1970 and in addressing the album version of "Liar" and how it was played when he was in the band is quoted: "Liar sounds much the same as when I played it" (QueenLive.ca).
Looking back at the handwritten Ibex set list, "Lover" had a run time of three minutes. Other songs on the list ran longer, like the Led Zeppelin cover "Communication Breakdown" running a staggering ten minutes (Zeppelin's original album version clocks in at two and a half minutes). Ibex's "Lover" had a lot of room to grow, it would seem. The Davis article provides some more clues:
Geoff Higgins [Ibex's roadie] remembers at least one decent Bulsara-Bersin tune: "They did a great song called 'Lover'. The lyrics used to go, 'Lover, you never believe me', and Fred later turned it into 'Liar, you never believe me'."
John Deacon eventually joined the band 1971 and by December, Queen were in De Lane Lea Studios to test the new equipment and record their first demos. "Liar" was a finished song now and it would appear in Queen's live set and on their debut album.
And yet, "Lover" remains a missing link. We have a glimpse in "Green," a rehearsal tape with a stripped-down arrangement. And we have the descriptions from those who were there as "Green" merged with "Lover," but on the "Lover" side, how recognizable was it to "Liar"? Geoff Higgins offers this memory:
"It was almost the same tune. But not quite. In fact it was similar to 'Communication Breakdown,' they used to rip off Led Zeppelin a lot."(Record Collector, March 1996)
Ultimately, we're left to wonder. Our imaginations can fill in the blanks, perhaps, taking a bit "Green," "Liar" and, on Geoff's advice, a bit of Zeppelin.
If anything can be said for certain, it's that Freddie probably would not have minded this dash of mystery in his music, either.
Thanks: Andy Davis, Bob W., Adam Unger, Mr. Scully, and Anthony Wood

A Mystery In The Wreckage: Fan Feature by Patrick Lemieux
Nagy Annamária
Taylor and P.Rodgers. So maybe a 2005 interview? May and Taylor discussed early Queen albums, and even refered to 'Fairy Fellars Master Stroke' and the live .?
Wayne Page
Patrick, i am guessing, but i think the quote i refered to i read in an edition of 'Rock' magazine. It featured an interview with May, Taylor and P.Rodgers. So maybe a 2005 interview? May and Taylor discussed early Queen albums, and even refered to 'Fairy Fellars Master Stroke' and the live performance only track 'Hangman'. So i'm thinking it must be here that i read the quote from May about the 'Liar' guitar riff.
I'd heard that, too, Wayne, but could not find an exact quote from Brian to that affect. If true, the quote could be lost in the mists of time. Or it's one those quotes that get get attributed, yet was never actually said.
If anyone can point me to that statement, it would be another clue to the development of the song.
Wayne Page
Interesting article. Surprised no mention was made that Brian May has said he got the guitar riff in 'Liar' from the original Wreckage 'Lover' version.
Marcio De La Cruz
Bon...c´est très chouette savoir cette histoire...you all guys should keep writing this kind of "scientific" articles. It´s really amusing to know all this. regards from Peru.

Reviews for Egg Burritos
"I make a version of this all the time. They are great just with bacon and hot Louisiana Hot sauce.I recommend using whole eggs because the yolk is where all the vitamins are. Egg whites are not longer considered a "health" food. White only have 3.6 g of protein and trace minerals. Yolks have omegas, B vitamins, A, C, D and calcium, iron, 2.7 g protein, potassium. selenium, and folate to name a few. Yolks are considered heart healthy.http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com/Egg_Yolk.html"
"I made this for my husbands breakfast group - but I did substitute chorize for bacon as they love things hot and spicy - huge hit"
"Very yummy"
"Recipe was good I made it better by adding cheese and potatoes"
"This is a nice, quick meal for on the go families. I added a little Tostitos Zesty Bean Dip to our burritos and they were a hit!"
"These where OK nothing to much I just did not think they were a bid deal."
"Well, i wanted to wait for the burrito to freeze so that i could thaw it to be able to fully write a review.I made these with wheat tortillas and turkey bacon instead and they came out great. I would recommend making these with egg whites for a much healthier dish for those looking for one.After freezing, i cooked these in my microwave (which is 900w) exactly to instructions but didnt notice the user used a 1100w. Oops. Anyways, it was still frozen. I cut the burrito in half and cooked for 30 seconds longer, full power. Still a bit frozen so I lowered the power and tried just a few seconds longer. Came out great. I love this recipe because i never thought of making breakfast burritos for freezing and using later! Thanks for informing me :)For other 900w people, i would recommend maybe 70% power? Just experiment. You'll get it."
"I made freezer food for members of my church for about 2years, when I lived in Calgary,& this is one of the food items most would have me make over & over again. When I asked them why they said that is was because they didn't have to make breakfast for their kids going on the bus, they just popped these in the oven on low to warm them up & they are ready to go. (plus their kids loved them.) I also did them for a big church function & had to make 24 doz. These went over like hot cakes!! I don't put in green onions, because some don't like them. But I do put salsa & sour cream on the side."
"Very easy with ingredients I always have on hand! Haven't done the freezing thing yet-they eat them before I can freeze them!"

We had researched hop-on and hop-off buses, and we found one that stopped not too far away, and we waited for it to arrive. We were able to buy tickets on board, and got a 2 day pass that was only 3 euro more than the 29 euro for one day.
It was cold outside, so we watched from the inside of the bus. We had been given lime green headphones to plug into the bus, which told us of interesting facts and information of landmarks that we passed.
We got off near the Arc de Triomphe. We found the underpass and walked under to reach the underneath of the Arc. Surrounding the Arc de Triomphe is a massive, chaotic roundabout
The Arc de Triomphe is bigger up close than I remembered. We saw the grave of the unknown soldier, and read inscriptions all of the Arc.
We then went back down to buy tickets to go up to the top of the Arc. Nanna took the lift up, while the rest of us took the spiral staircase that just seemed to go on forever. We walked up stair after stair, and were absolutely exhausted once we got to the top. I must admit, I thought my leg muscles were in better shape after skiing for so long, but I consoled myself when I saw similar aged people sitting on benches, trying to catch their breath.
Inside the Arc is actually a large space. They had a small gallery, a souvenir shop, a dedication to the army. I was surpised with how much was up there.
The terrace provided a beautiful view of so much of Paris. You could see the Champs-Elysees in its entirety, the Eiffel Tower in the distance and the Parisian suburbs connecting everything. It was raining when we were up there, but we still spent a long time, circling the tower, making sure that we had not missed anything.
We came back down, just in time for another bus to arrive. We quickly jumped on, and went for another tour around the city. We got off the bus for lunch, in a little cafe near the bus stop.
It was outdoors, but the heaters made it bearable
We had crepes in another cafe, and walked into some souvenir shops.
Then, we got back on the bus and travelled around until we reached the Champs-Elysees again.
The Champs-Elysees; the street where Napolean's ashes were taken, is also the street where Charles de Gaulle led the Allied troops on an emotional parade. Nowadays, it is a shopping district, famous for its exclusivity and expensiveness. We popped in and out of some shops, but I felt so underdressed in my ski jacket and walking shoes, going into these shops. We went into the Swarovski shop, which is known for its crystal staircase, which is really quite magical.
After the next bus came, we jumped on again to watch the city turn to dusk. Paris lights up wonderfully at night, and it was a nice thing to see.
We walked back to the train station once we were down, and took our soggy selves back to the apartment.
After my recent travels to Canada and now in France, I have come to the conclusion that Australia is the only country IN THE ENTIRE WORLD where there is a noise made when the green man comes on when you cross the road. It is quite difficult to get into the habit of watching the red man as you wait on the footpath for the change, as I am used to the distinctive sound to prompt me to go.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Sounds just so fantastic Amy. How lucky are all you guys. Thanks for the blogs.

Issues with trophy syncing?
Hey everyone.
We've seen a few people post issues with trophy syncing through the PS Blog and Twitter. If anyone is currently experiencing issues with trophies please post details to this thread.
In most cases, its a clarification on how syncing works between platform, but we want to make sure there are no edge cases that are causing people problems.
Re: Issues with trophy syncing?
I have platinum on PS3 and some done on Vita. I can't use the cloud sync on PS3 which gives me an error every time. When I cloud sync on Vita I got no problem.
I want to cloud sync on PS3 so I can get the remaining death mode trophies on Vita.
Re: Issues with trophy syncing?
Are you able to access the community section of the game on your PS3? It accesses the same server for cloud syncing. If you're unable to connect to the community as well, there may be an issue with your internet connection.
Are you connected wirelessly or wifi?
Also, what patch version of the game are you running? Should be 1.05.
Re: Issues with trophy syncing?[ Edited ]
Ok my issue is this I just got the new ps3 legacy the super slim to replace my old slim, (stats new one is the 500 gb old one is the 120gb). Anyway I synced my trophies to the server from my old ps3 and did everything right.

((barely 20 min later or whatever finally got it to sync I had to reset my network settings and a few other things but I got it to work))

In order to successfully obtain a Masters qualification, you will need to obtain a number of credits by passing individual modules. Most taught Masters will have a number of core modules which you must take and pass in order to obtain the qualification. The assessment of research Masters is almost always entirely by a single dissertation module or project.
Professionals who have studied economics and administration comprehend both the larger economic picture and smaller, individualized trends. It is an interdisciplinary field in which specialists are trained to consider and analyze many components in both the public and private section and make recommendations based on current and potential conditions.

GEN Congressional Hall of Fame
Biomedical research has friends in high places. Meet them.
Below is a list of 50 current members of Congress—30 of the House of Representatives and 20 of the Senate—who have been recognized at least once since 2010 for their support of federal spending for research in biopharma and/or all sciences. That recognition has come most often through awards, but the list includes other examples, such as through public praise by an institution in a press announcement, or through the inclusion of their name in the formal title of legislation enacted into law, not merely through sponsorship or co-sponsorship of a bill.
Members of Congress are listed by name, followed by party affiliation and state abbreviation, then a list of many of their honors and awards in supporting science research. While this list does not purport to be an exhaustive list of such honors and awards, the results below nevertheless reveal some interesting findings. Many of the representatives and senators honored for their support for research spending either play leadership roles in their chambers, or hold key positions of influence on committees that consider research funding legislation, either as chairs or ranking members of their party. Some groups also honored favored representatives or senators more than once. And the honorees that have received numerous recognitions are most often those most vocal about increasing funding for NIH and other agencies.
Also revealed in the list is the sheer breadth of groups that recognized members of Congress for their support of federal research spending. In addition to traditional industry groups like the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), they include umbrella organizations focused on research advocacy, disease-based advocacy groups, and even groups based outside biopharma whose criteria for awards included broad overall support for research in all sciences. Several of the groups have only begun bestowing awards on members of Congress within the past four years, reflecting their interest in highlighting representatives and senators who share their views.
The list of awards and honors was compiled through online searchers of the members' biographies, as well as of announcements on organizations' web pages, and of lists of past winners maintained by the organizations. The list does not include former representatives or senators.

Fender benders stall all
State wants drivers in minor accidents to get out of the way
Regional transportation officials have a word of advice for anyone in a freeway accident not involving injuries - don't wait for the police to come and take a report. They have better things to do with their time, and insurance companies don't need police reports to process your claims anyway.
'If people can move their cars, they need to do so,' said Jon Makler, a transportation operations planning manager currently splitting his time between the Portland Office of Transportation and Metro, the regional government charged with approving transportation projects in the Portland area.
Makler is one of several regional transportation officials working on TransPort, a multijurisdictional committee working to better manage congestion by improving traffic management, incident responses and traveler information on area roadways.
One focus of the committee is reducing the amount of time cars involved in accidents block traffic. At the heart of this effort is the COMET, or Corridor Management Teams, incident response program that dispatches specially equipped trucks to breakdowns on area freeways.
According to Makler, since the COMET trucks first began responding to accidents in 1997, operators have been surprised by the number of motorists who refuse to move their vehicles until the police show up to take a report. On many occasions, Makler said, the vehicles are blocking traffic but are still drivable.
'A lot of times, the drivers insist they can't move until the police take a report. They can end up waiting a long, long time because that's just not a priority for the police,' Makler said.
The wait does not merely inconvenience the motorists involved in the accident, Makler said. According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, every minute a vehicle stops on the freeway backs up approaching traffic from three to seven minutes.
'That's really unfortunate,' said John Piper, a spokesman for the Oregon Insurance Division, who confirms that insurance companies do not need police reports to process noninjury traffic accident claims.
More cars are coming
TransPort is chaired by Dennis Mitchell, the Oregon Department of Transportation traffic manager for Region 1, which includes Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington, Columbia and Hood River counties.
According to Mitchell, the committee's work is especially important now because of the 1 million more people expected to move to the Portland area over the next 20 years. They are expected to increase motor vehicle traffic by around 40 percent and commercial truck traffic by more than 60 percent by 2025.
'We can't build our way out of congestion, so we have to become smarter about how we management traffic,' he said.
At the same time, Mitchell does not expect the program to reduce congestion.
'The goal is to keep things from getting any worse from year to year,' he said.
Other participating agencies include the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, the Washington State Department of Transportation, TriMet, and the Multnomah and Washington counties transportation departments.
The committee relies on information generated by a central Traffic Management Operations Center that collects and analyzes information on transportation conditions from a variety of sources, including sensors in the roadways, video cameras and police reports. It also works with the Intelligent Transportation Systems laboratory at Portland State University to analyze some of the data for long-range planning efforts.
Accident time adds up
A recent study by the Federal Highway Administration found that approximately 40 percent of 'recurring' congestion is caused by bottlenecks, and around 25 percent is caused by incidents, which include accidents, blown tires, overheating, mechanical breakdowns and even road debris.
According to the study, the remaining recurring congestion is caused by weather (15 percent), work zones (10 percent), special events (5 percent) and poor signal timing (5 percent).
According to Makler, the study supports the project's efforts to reduce congestion through a variety of quick-response and high-tech means. In addition to the COMET vehicles, the program includes the 118 ramp meters currently installed on area freeways, an ongoing effort to improve the timing of traffic signals, special equipment to allow TriMet buses running behind schedule to have longer green lights and better public warnings of poor road conditions.
The program also includes the designation of alternative transportation routes when freeways are blocked for any reason.
The first one is Southwest Barbur Boulevard, which has been designated as an alternative to a stretch of Interstate 5. Electronic detour signs have already been installed to direct drivers to Barbur when the freeway is impassable. The program is currently studying whether 82nd Avenue could serve as alternative for Interstate 205.
Mitchell expects the program to evolve as more information emerges from ongoing studies.
One idea already under consideration involves stationing tow trucks at key locations along freeways during morning and evening rush hours to hasten their responses to crashes and breakdowns. This is already being done in the Seattle and San Francisco areas, Mitchell said, and may make sense here.

The Ruins HTML version
Part II, Chapter 10
Q. What do you mean be domestic virtues?
A. I mean the practice of actions useful to a family, supposed to live in the same house.*
* Domestic is derived from the Latin word domus, a house.
Q. What are those virtues?
A. They are economy, paternal love, filial love, conjugal love, fraternal love, and the
accomplishment of the duties of master and servant.
Q. What is economy?
A. It is, according to the most extensive meaning of the word, the proper administration
of every thing that concerns the existence of the family or house; and as subsistence holds
the first rank, the word economy in confined to the employment of money for the wants
of life.
Q. Why is economy a virtue?
A. Because a man who makes no useless expenses acquires a superabundancy, which is
true wealth, and by means of which he procures for himself and his family everything
that is really convenient and useful; without mentioning his securing thereby resources
against accidental and unforeseen losses, so that he and his family enjoy an agreeable and
undisturbed competency, which is the basis of human felicity.
Q. Dissipation and prodigality, therefore, are vices?
A. Yes, for by them man, in the end, is deprived of the necessaries of life; he falls into
poverty and wretchedness; and his very friends, fearing to be obliged to restore to him
what he has spent with or for them, avoid him as a debtor does his creditor, and he
remains abandoned by the whole world.
Q. What is paternal love?
A. It is the assiduous care taken by parents to make their children contract the habit of
every action useful to themselves and to society.
Q. Why is paternal tenderness a virtue in parents?

text: Thanks for the support. But, um, actually, no. I don't think it's just superficial vanity. Look, while many men don't like being bald they don't have their masculinity torn away by it. We as a society are used to seeing bald-headed men. They don't get gawked at. Nobody says they look feminine. Bald-headed women still get stared at. And it does affect how they are perceived. Consider how Kim's mustache has been mocked here. Many women have them but hide them because they are considered masculine. Bierboy, I'm thrilled that your wife won the battle and that she managed to get through the chemo and hair loss with her dignity intact. But I'll bet that given her drothers she'd rather have achieved all that WITHOUT losing her hair if possible.

O'Dwyers: Cision utilized its social monitoring tools to predict the Super Tuesday races. Conducting analytical polls that monitor online social conversations, the PR software company was able to produce voter forecast percentages in each of the 11 states participating in the crucial Super Tuesday presidential primary race.
Cision had previously predicted the winners for both the Iowa Republican Caucus (Ted Cruz) and the New Hampshire Democratic and Republican Party primaries (Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, respectively), based on an analysis of Twitter conversation percentages among IA and NH voters. Cision also accurately predicted that Trump would win the February 20 South Carolina Republican primary, based on the fact that he accounted for 40 percent of the GOP voice percentage occurring in that state.

Our customer reviews for ibis Nantes La Beaujoire Parc Expos
Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
The hotel and room were very clean. The staff at reception were friendly. Our only problem came when we arrived for dinner at 7pm. The kitchen was under staffed and we were still waiting to give our order at 8:30pm! The steak was very tough when it eventually arrived! In the morning there was no one on reception or in the vacinity to give our key in to, so we left the key on the desk.
This hotel is located to the north of the city, away from the city center. If you are not traveling by car, you need to consider public transport. Fortunately the route from the train station to the hotel is really strightforward, you can take either the bus or the tram. Both are very efficient. Once you arrive to the neighborhood, the hotel is very easy to locate with several signs along the roads. The tram station is two blocks away and there is a large supermarket with restaurants nearby. Staff was really polite. The room was larger than the average Ibis room, and they have a complementary coffee / bisquit inside the room. My only complaint was the noise. I stayed in one of the rooms in the front-desk level and I could hear everything from my room. I could tell when people arrived, left and went for breakfast. I did not hear noise from the other rooms in the same level, but everything from the front desk and restaurant. Maybe the management would like to take notes on this issue because it makes it difficult to sleep with so much noise in the evening.
Dear Juan, Many thanks for your comments, sure I do takes notes of your experiment, knowing that I realize exactly where you have been staying. We have double doors in the corridor to keep the noise from the reception/bar area away, and they must have been kept opened that night, I am very sorry about this. I will make sure this does not happen again. I'm glad you made your way easily from the station to us, Hope to see you soon! Delphine GIROGUY General Manager
We used this as a stop off on the way from the Cherbourg Ferry to a holiday villa, both on the way down and coming back. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Facilities and food were excellent. We will definitely stay here again
Dear Chester Skipton, Thank you for your encouraging feedback, the pleasure is all ours :-) Laeving a review makes a great opportunity for us to feel what you did feel, thanks a million, and I hope to see you again soon, Best regards, Delphine G, GM
Stayed two nights for a family get-together. Staff were particularly helpful giving out maps and directions, and the really thick curtains/shutters did such a good job keeping out the light that I slept better than I have done for years.
Dear Alex, I could not have a better reward than this :-) We work hard to make our guests have the best night sleep, and you just made my day, It will be a great pleasure to tell the team, Hope to see you again soon, Delphine G. GM
A very good location if coming from outside of Nantes and perfectly placed for a 'quick getaway'. Well placed for public transport so you can leave your car at the huge, secure car park. Not far from a commercial centre and a large supermarket/ shops/petrol station etc. And a very well managed hotel with the usual Ibis expertise.
Dear 90Vendee85, Thank you for your comments about our hotel, I am very pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. As you said, we are lucky to have a very large carpark, and located at 5 min walk away from the tram stop wich comes very handy (that takes you down in the centre in 20 min) I hope we will have the pleasure to welcome you again some time, Best regards, Delphine GRIOGUY Manager

19.7 Commentary by Marc Hassenzahl
19.7.1 Everything can be beautiful
"Beauty is an important ingredient of our daily lives. We admire and praise the beauty of nature, architecture, music, other people — an ugly colour or an awkward form easily repels us. Given its pervasiveness, the lack of research addressing aesthetics in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is striking".
Not long ago, I started a book chapter on beauty and HCI with these words (Hassenzahl, 2008). And I believe both parts still to be true. Beauty still matters and HCI still keeps struggling with the concept. The alleged reasons for this are manifold. One can despise beauty because of its notorious elusiveness or fight about whether beauty can be reduced to some numbers on scales or not — as David Frohlich (2004) put it: "It didn't seem to me to be the kind of thing that could be measured so easily with a seven-point bipolar scale and a pencil". Not to mention the legions of philosophers who already devoted whole lives to understanding the transcendental nature of beauty.
Noam Tractinsky is not easily deterred by this. He boldly summarizes what we know about beauty in HCI, which seems to be substantial enough. We know, for example, something about the processes underlying judgments of beauty. When "looking at" an object the percept is emotionally processed. This leads to a positive or negative response — an involuntary, effortless and fast process. Attributed to the visual Gestalt of an object, the response becomes its beauty. We can more or less reflect and elaborate upon this initial response and we can even revise it.
But more importantly any judgment of beauty has consequences. Through its immediacy, beauty becomes the starting point for inferring other attributes, such as how practical or captivating an object is — even when actual hands-on experience is missing (van Schaik, Hassenzahl, & Ling, in press). "What is beautiful is ..." is a powerful process, and trying to understand when and how people infer quality through a network of beliefs and rules is exciting. An even more striking phenomenon is the ambivalent nature of beauty in the consumers' eye. Sarah Diefenbach calls it the "Beauty Dilemma" (e.g., Diefenbach & Hassenzahl, 2011). In fact, we all seem to know how much we enjoy beauty. According to Maslow (1954) beauty might even be a fundamental need (which I do not necessarily agree with) and Raymond Loewy — "the man who streamlined the sales curve" — endowed us with the insight that "between two products equal in price, function and quality, the one with the most attractive exterior will win." Nevertheless, Sarah finds a deeply ingrained suspicion towards beauty in products. Choosing a primarily beautiful over a primarily usable product is difficult, because it needs to be justified. We want beauty, but we are desperately looking for any "functional alibi" easing the load of justifying our desire. That is why Apple users insist that their gadgets are not only beautiful but also more usable. It is a proper justification for indulging in beauty. There are other envisioned consequences of beauty even that "attractive things work better", and knowing those seems important for any discipline concerned with making things. We cannot switch off peoples' perception and evaluation of the things in their environment, thus, we cannot not address beauty (or ugliness, respectively) when designing. We better know of the consequences of ignoring beauty.
Coming back to the beginning of my comment: Why are we struggling with beauty, given that we already know so much? Close-up beauty seems only half as elusive as it appeared at the outset and the many interesting and important consequences make research into beauty valuable. In a comment to one of my papers on beauty, Kees Overbeeke and Stephan Wensveen (2004) stated: "For product designers Hassenzahl's work is of interest [...] if it can be used in actual design work. How will it contribute to new product development?" Now substitute "Hassenzahl's work" with "research on aesthetics" and you see the problem. Knowing the processes of how to derive a judgment of beauty or the consequences once it was derived tells us nothing about how to make something beautiful. To learn more about how to make beautiful things, I consulted the "antecedents section" of Noam's paper, but it leaves me empty-handed. I trust in Paul Hekkert's (Hekkert, Snelders, & van Wieringen, 2003) advice to balance typicality and novelty — but what exactly is typicality and novelty then, doesn't this just only shift the problem? — and I mistrust the potential helpfulness of advice such as "colour use should be balanced and low saturation pastel colours should be used for backgrounds ..." (Sutcliffe, 2009). I hate pastels — most of the time.
"If we could only decipher the aesthetic code!" Noam exclaims — ironically maybe — but to me it reveals the basic problem. In fact, there is nothing to decipher, we simply make beauty. Given the swiftness of the judgmental processes, many academic quickly invoke innate mechanisms shaped by evolution as explanation for beauty. That's how the argument goes: We respond favourably to symmetry, because it signals health (i.e., reproductive success). And somehow we fail to recognize that a TV set or a car has only a weak relation to reproduction — we still like it better when it is symmetric — maybe. Evolutionary explanations are hard to rebut, but actually I don't think we need them. Let's think of the judgmental process underlying beauty as a short-hand. It is one of those magically fast, automatic System 1 processes that spare our lazy System 2 the deliberate thinking (Kahneman, 2011). Without such short-hands or "heuristics", we would be catatonic most of the time — locked into endless choice processes.
But even when we think of judgments of beauty as a short-hand, the crucial question remains: Why do we react, in a split-second, to one object positively, but negatively to the other? It's not exactly an original observation, but I suspect this to be first of all a matter of familiarity (e.g., "mere exposure", Zajonc, 1980). For car interiors, Carbon and Leder (2005), for example, showed that highly innovative designs were not judged to be beautiful at first. However, repeated unobtrusive exposure (over 30 minutes) quickly increased beauty. The other important aspect is authority. It is not an immediately perceivable inherent quality that distinguishes a design classic from any other object. It is the very fact that accepted authorities announce it to be a design classic— through exhibiting, reviewing, and giving away precious awards — which counts.
Without familiarity or authority guiding us through unfamiliar masterpieces we have a hard time to perceive beauty. A good example is the one of the street musician playing his violin for 43 minutes on a Friday morning at L'Enfant Plaza, Washington, without attracting much attention. Hardly anybody stopped; the youngish man collected $32. The musician, however, was Joshua Bell, the violin a $3.5 million handcrafted Stradivari from 1713, and the music masterpieces by Bach, Schubert, Ponce and Massenet. The same people that passed Bell in the metro without a second look may pay $100 for an admission ticket to listen to him in a concert hall.
In the Washington Post article about the metro experiment, Mark Leithauser, senior curator at the National Gallery, makes it clear: "Let's say I took one of our more abstract masterpieces, say an Ellsworth Kelly, and removed it from its frame, marched it down the 52 steps that people walk up to get to the National Gallery, and brought it into a restaurant. It's a $5 million painting. And it's one of those restaurants where there are pieces of original art for sale, by some industrious kids from the Corcoran School, and I hang that Kelly on the wall with a price tag of $150. No one is going to notice it. An art curator might look up and say: 'Hey, that looks a little like an Ellsworth Kelly. Please pass the salt.'" One may attribute this to context; I think it is about authority.
To make something beautiful is thus not about curves versus rectangles, saturation, hue, symmetry, proportions or any other hidden "aesthetic code." To make something beautiful is about deciding what to want, to make it, to expose people to it, and to claim with authority that this is beautiful. In this respect beauty is more or less constructed socially. For design this is freedom and burden at the same time. While we can make everything beautiful — even streamlined toasters — we become more and more aware of the responsibility this implies. It was us and not any evolutionary aesthetic code, who established the wasp waist, subjecting women to cracked and deformed ribs, weakened abdominal muscles, and deformed and dislocated internal organs. Was Rubens just depicting the beauty ideal of his time or was he actually setting it to voluptuous, stout, and luxuriant? Is it some hard-wired evolutionary preference or us, who decided to create a beauty ideal in cars that look as if they run on chummy pedestrians rather than on gasoline? Because everything can be beautiful, we need to think careful about what we make beautiful, how we set our ideals. This is the true challenge of beauty in HCI and any other design discipline.

When we deliver software products, we need to be able to tell our customers what they're getting. Not just product documentation, but specifically, every time we deliver a new release, what problems were fixed, and also what the new features are. If the software is subject to periodic audits, we need to tell them even more, especially the ability to trace a requirement or change request to what was changed.
We do that very well. We point to the build that the customer currently has and to the build that we're planning on shipping to the customer. We then ask for a list of problems fixed, a list of the new features, and any documentation available for the new features. In a few seconds we have our answer in a simple release notes document ready for the technical writer to spruce up.
This is good and useful. For many shops this might be a leap forward, but in the context of an ALM solution, it doesn't go far enough.
If my world is limited to taking a list of problems and features and fixing/implementing them and delivering builds with those implementations, the above release notes are helpful. However if, instead, my world deals with taking a requirements specification, which is changing over time, and then ensuring that a conforming product can be demonstrated to the customer, my world is a bit bigger. If those requirements also include a budget and delivery schedule, it's all the bigger. Then if I happen to have one of those management structures that want to know the status of development, including, whether or not we'll meet our requirements within budget and on time, it's bigger still. If I have to track what customers have which problems and feature requests outstanding with each delivery, it's even bigger.
Many customers ask for much more than release notes. They want to know about their outstanding requests. They want to know about the quality level of the software we're shipping them. They want to know about the risks involved. They want to review the product specs before development is complete so that they may have additional input on the functionality. They want to know if our delivery schedule will be on time. We need a virtual maze of data to track the information involved in the ALM process (see diagram) and to support the audit process.
