Along with Mike Puru and Dom Harvey, she helps commuters ease their way through the morning traffic, jump-starting our day with bright and breezy quips and silly stunts on The Edge's breakfast show.
But allow Jay-Jay Feeney to set aside her outrageous radio persona for a moment and there lies a woman who's put herself through counselling, including the latest craze of 'tapping', in an effort to bring some order to her crazy life.
'I'm a drama magnet. There is always a new drama in my life and I take on the stress of everything,' Jay-Jay confesses.
'I am trying so hard to get rid of it all. I went to counselling, lightened up some of my workload and tried to get rid of a few people in my life who cause me stress.'
The vivacious presenter is also trying to get closure by finding her biological father. Jay-Jay's mum, Robynne, was just 15 when she fell pregnant to a 22-year-old photographer. She never saw him again.
Family is important to 37-year-old Jay-Jay. She is close to her nana Jacqui Andersen, 81, and regularly visits her in Whitianga. Sadly, Jacqui recently suffered a stroke.
'I rang her, and it must have just happened because she was saying, "Help me, help me, I think I am dying". She had no idea who I was. I was freaking out and rang my cousin who lives around the corner – she went straight there. The doctor said that if I hadn't rung her she probably would have died.'
Jay-Jay and husband, Dom, 38, are desperately trying to start a family. They're raising her eight-year-old nephew Seven because his former jailbird and drug-addict father cannot.
They want a child of their own, but Dom had a tumour in his aorta which has wrecked his fertility, leaving the couple struggling to conceive. They have had four failed IVF attempts and plan to try one more, though the procedure is physically and emotionally draining.
'Dom loves kids. They are drawn to him and he relates to them,' his devoted wife explains. But Jay-Jay leaves all her troubles behind once she steps into the radio studio and turns on the adrenalin.
The lively trio of Mike, Dom and Jay-Jay can persuade listeners to phone in and confess their most bizarre, funny and intimate moments.
They convinced strangers Paula Stockwell and Zane Nicholl to wed live on air after a month-long promotion to find a willing couple. The pair met for the first time at the altar on their big day. They are still together 11 years later and have three beautiful children – Max, 10, Jack, seven, and two-year-old Olive.
It's no wonder Jay-Jay has sought normality in counselling. But the funny woman of the airwaves even jokes about why she eventually ditched an alternative therapy which involves tapping various parts of your body while repeating affirmations.
'I stopped the counselling because I had enough of tapping my forehead,' she says, demonstrating the technique. 'It was just too wacky,' adds Jay-Jay, who's renowned for her bizarre stunts – including playing naked tennis on the streets of Hamilton with only body paint to protect her modesty. 'I'm cracking up all the time I'm in there, tapping my forehead and saying stupid things to myself.
'I went on a parenting course too, and you got a lolly if you did your homework. The way they teach you is just too kooky for me.'
Chickening out of a bungy jump off the Auckland Harbour Bridge was a personal low for chirpy Jay-Jay. She agreed to take the challenge for a Wheel of Misfortune stunt and earn $1500 for a single mum who needed cash to buy her daughter a school uniform and other essentials.
But the plucky presenter has a pathological fear of falling and spent an excruciating 30 minutes, live on air, trying to find the courage to jump. 'I was crying and begging the guy to push me,' she recalls. 'I couldn't do it.'
Despite the setback, Jay-Jay celebrated her 17th year on The Edge last month and has a wealth of celebrity anecdotes, plus her hilarious take on life, to share with New Idea readers.

While Colts fans hope that Hilton (shoulder) will suit up against the resurgent Kansas City defense, it is far from a sure thing. Hilton was a limited participant in practice Friday and admitted to reporters that he was playing with "quite a bit" of pain since injuring his shoulder during the Colts matchup with Arizona last month.
Fantasy Analysis:
Considering that if Hilton suits up, he will be at less than 100 percent, and that the inconsistent Colts don't match up well against Kansas City, what do you do with Hilton if he plays? He returned to relavance last week with an 8 catch 78 yard performance, but he's been held out of the endzone since week 9, when he scored 3 times. With his high number of targets and receptions, Hilton remains a playable PPR WR 3 or flex, but in standard scoring leagues, select a better option from your bench.

We need more people like Tanya in this world. This was a true act of kindness, and had nothing to do with being good at your job or doing the best you can. We all need friends like Tayna. God bless Tanya and Maxine and Thank you!

Once you register your webgate with OAM server it will protect the resources hosted on the OHS server (your application)
I read IDM server as the Identity and Access Management server, here it is OAM.
Hope this helps, if not post your query- we have similar setup.
2. Re: IDM Design941300 Mar 17, 2013 6:37 AM (in response to 973714)Thanks 970711.
My first question is clearn now. i have to install webgate at application side and register at OAM.
My Second question was : where do i need to configure provider ? in Application weblogic or IDM weblogic ?
Help Appreciated
3. Re: IDM Design973714 Mar 17, 2013 11:19 PM (in response to 941300)Provider is whatever the OAM is configured with. By default OAM comes with its local embedded weblogic authentication.
So your app will be protected by this authentication mechanism.
You can change the provider, see following link

I'm no wildlife expert, but I got issues with that. Killing an animal because "it scared" somebody doesn't seem right. We build our homes on the edge of or in their territory and are surprised when we see them... just doesn't make sense to me.
I get the whole "they are not scared of humans thing" so if it needs to be done, it needs to be done... but isn't that our fault to begin with?

Residents Give Cats And Dogs A Loving Home
The Rockaways showed its heart last Saturday when hundreds of residents showed up for "Adopt-a- Friend Day" – dog and cat adoptions held by the ASPCA and Bobbi & the Strays in partnership with Rockapup, an up and coming local pet store on Beach 116 Street. Residents from across the Rockaways – Arverne, Belle Harbor, Rockaway Beach, and Breezy Point, came together to show their support for these animals in distress. Even Rockaway's police officers stopped by for a peek at the pets.
The result was astounding – 5 dogs and 5 cats found a new home in the Rockaways. For organizations like the ASPCA, ten adoptions is an uncommonly high number for a single day. "We usually get one or two adoptions per event," says Jean, an event coordinator from Bobbi and the Strays, a NY Pet Rescue and Adoption group. "But the adoption rates and turn out here are honestly phenomenal. Rockaway residents are extending such a kind heart." With hundreds gathering, the day also turned out to be quite the party – one resident was overheard saying, "This is like a street festival in Manhattan, right here on Beach 116!"
"This is one of the first times the ASPCA is coming to the Rockaways," says Lisa Long, owner of Rockapup. "And it's an important service for our community. A Rockaway resident used to have to travel a great distance to adopt any kind of pet. I think the ASPCA's presence here is a sign of how much our area is taking off and growing. And over at Rockapup, we're so excited to see so many different kinds of people responsive and engaged in the lives of these animals."
The Animal Hospital of the Rockaways and Belle Harbor Animal Clinic also showed their support by offering free first-time exam vouchers for all adopted animals and Rockaway residents at Saturday's event. In support of the two animal rescue groups, Rockaway residents donated hundreds to both nonprofits, while Rockapup donated $500 in free pet food. Rockapup has been hosting these events monthly and will continue to do so in the months to come.

I hope I am clear?
in brief all I want to transfer files from my pc to phone using wi-fi connection and better if I can do vice-versa
please any one help me out ASAP

MidwayUSA Competition Range Bag You can find it here.
Two of my range buddies have this bag! After close inspection, I had to have one too! It has been the best bag I've ever had for the range! It is larger than you think, it should handle everything you could possibly want in a range bag. Read some of the reviews on the website, there are 236 of 'em. There's even a product video of it on the website as well.
It lists for $59.99 and shows that price on the website. I just got my monthly newsletter in the mail today and shows it on sale for $39.99 from 9/25/09 until 10/31/09.
All three of us got ours at the sale price and it is a bargain!

I have a few but this is my main bag:
GunMate Range Bag Nylon Black - MidwayUSA
Very sturdy and holds a lot of stuff. Can't beat the price either.
For me the best I have ever used are these guys at Hafner. I used their bags all through my USPSA days when I was shooting on the circuit, they cut no corners on quality whatsoever. If you are looking for a bag to truly last a lifetime, Hafner is second to none.......

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined". - Patrick Henry
I second the Midway bag. I've had mine for over 5 years and it is one well built bag. Honestly, it's heavier built than a lot of luggage I've seen. Every load bearing area is heavily stitched and it has a removable carry strap with stainless steel rings. I'm happy that they are, seeing as most everything else is plastic these days.
I've loaded mine with 100rds 12g, 6 boxes 9mm, 2 boxes .38SPL, plus all the ancillary gear of ear pro, eye-pro, first aid kit, stapler, tape, markers, small cleaning kit, targets, and I STILL have room. I carried it this way slung over my shoulder, and nothing tore or let loose.
By the way, I am in no way affiliated with Midway, I just think this has got to be the best range bag around and at a VERY good price.

After I bought three range bags, I took the advice I saw like this and bought the Midway bag. It's high quality, plenty big, lots of compartments, and only $39.95.
You'll thank us later.
How 'bout the $10 remington bag that most Walmarts carry?

This may sound kinda' strange, but the best, most used, most useful Range Bag that I own (of about EIGHT choices!) is a heavy-duty Stanley Tool Bag from Lowes. Lots of pockets, anvil tough, rigid poly bottom, comfortable handles & shoulder strap, when opened the top stays open, and it attracts almost NO unwanted attention. They're black with yellow trim & costs less than $30. Give 'em a look.
There are only TWO kinds of people in this world; those who describe the world as filled with two kinds of people...and those who don't.
Try this. I love mine and the price cannot be beat.

As others have said, the Midway bag is probably the best money you'll ever spend for a range bag, especially when it's on sale. I have two of them and they are tough, durable, have pockets galore and come with extras. If there's any difference (other than a logo) between the Midway bag and the 5.11 Tactical bag for $119.99, I can't see it. Get the Midway bag and buy ammo with the extra $80.00.

Take A Peek Behind The Scenes At Filter And Their New Video [VIDEO]
Filter are back in action and working on a new vid!!
The new disc will be called "The Sun Comes Out Tonight" and Filter boss Richard Patrick says the title stems from his drug and alcohol problems.
In my lifetime, the sun definitely came out at night," he said. "I'm a recovering drug addict and a recovering alcoholic, but when I was taking drugs, there were a few nights where my blood turned into golden, beautiful sunshine. It was all chemical-based, and I knew it was a lie, but it was completely overwhelming, and it was like the sun had come out at night."

Also known as Chocolate Vine, Akebia (lat. Akebia quinata and Akebia trifoliata) is as yet a relatively unknown twining climber, but is much appreciated for its filigree leaves and long lasting foliage. A twining climber.
A sunny to (semi-)shaded position, warm and preferably protected from wind. Sandy, well-drained loam with plenty of nutrients and humus and regular water provision.
This twiner's initial growth is rather slow, but with good care will display dense foliage after 2-3 years. Suckers can make up for the bare lower stems. A good watering regime and relatively mild weather will ensure the foliage will last well into winter. In warmer climates such as wine-growing regions, the plant is semi-evergreen.
Red-brown clusters in early spring, only perceived from close-up. The bizarre, edible fruit develop - if at all - only in the warmer wine-growing regions.
Best to use a vertical system with wire ropes at intervals of approx. 25cm. Horizontal wires require weaving in of the shoots. See below for suitable systems. Medium or Heavy Duty Growth Support Systems, Light Systems for pot plants.
Prune to thin out every 2-3 years; occasional rigorous pruning of single shoots in early spring will encourage new shoots from the base.

"Virtuosity Of A Different Type"
Pianistic virtuosity is often associated with technical bravura. Franz Liszt, arpeggios, swooning women, the like. There is, however, a yang to technique's yin and that's musical virtuosity, a topic we'll explore this week on Hammered! through the complete piano works of Gavin Bryars.
Pianist Ralph van Raat, in a discussion with Bryars about the composer's newly commissioned Piano Concerto The Solway Canal, said the work used "virtuosity of a different type," adding:
"Virtuosity [as a concept] is much broader in Gavin's music. It's much more about phrasing, long lines and large structures. The music leaves this space for the performer and I think this is one of the reasons his work is so musical, because it is very much from the human being and not severely restricted by a composer's point of view."
Ralph FTW. This is incredibly revealing and provides a powerful framework for listening to Bryars's piano music. Not only will individual works be heard throughout the week, but also, on a special Wednesday edition of Hammered!, we'll offer van Raat's recent album of Bryars' piano music in its entirety with piece-specific commentary from Bryars himself. Hear After Handel's Vesper, Ramble On Cortona and the work that started this whole discussion, the Solway Canal Piano Concerto.
Of course Van Raat's description of Bryars's music also applies to the aesthetics and compositional M.O. of a handful of other composers. One name that immediately comes to mind is Bryars's one-time teacher John Cage, whose early piano and prepared piano works will be scattered throughout the week. We'll also hear from Ann Southam, Alvin Curran, Eve Beglarian, Morton Feldman and even Philip Glass (especially Philip Glass), composers whose expressiveness, like Bryars, stems partly from their remarkable compositional restraint.

- Victor Cruz has 2,032 receiving yards in his young career. He is sixth all-time through the first 25 games of an NFL career. Cruz is also tied for sixth in receptions in the first 25 games of an NFL career with Kellen Winslow. They each have 125." Read more...

Room for improvement
PS2, Xbox, PC
AFL Live Premiership Edition
Acclaim, G, RRP $69.95, **½
Fan devotion to our wonderful sport is legendary but Acclaim may be pushing its luck with this latest AFL punt. Released six months after the last edition, it offers few improvements, other than the 2004 fixture and updated squads. Additions include Brownlow and Norm Smith medals, old-style guernseys for the Heritage round, new Wizard Cup rules and "new-look" MCG. There is also multi-tap support, multi-player missions and the inclusion of a playable All-Australian team. For newcomers, the game remains a fun, realistic brand of footy, thanks to solid teammate intelligence, yet it lacks the depth, tactical options and polished presentation of US sports simulations. But even the most dedicated AFL fan will find it difficult to justify spending their hard-earned on what is essentially the same game served up again.
Xbox, PC
V8 Supercars 2
Codemasters, G, RRP $99.95, ****½
Far from just a V8 simulation, this is a celebration of all motorsport. The game features an amazing 15 different racing styles and 31 championships from around the globe. In addition to mastering Supercar circuits, such as Bathurst and Surfers Paradise in Commodores and Falcons, players can tackle such diverse styles as rally, Formula Ford, Super Trucks, stock car, Global GT Lights, ice racing and classic car competitions. One of the finest racing simulators ever, it brilliantly straddles the opposing demands of casual drivers and petrol hedonists. Notable improvements include smarter opponents, improved car physics and handling, and online racing. The addition of the Holden Racing Team will please fans and the change to a first-person perspective in the entertaining (albeit silly) story mode enhances immersion. Battling 20 opponents around Mount Panorama is the thrilling highlight.
Mario Golf Toadstool Tour
Nintendo, G, RRP $99.95 ***½
The world's most versatile plumber is never content just saving the princess. Our hairy-lipped mate can crack a drive like Tiger in this long-awaited sequel, letting players tee off and have a ball in the Mushroom Kingdom. Six standard courses await, plus several hidden tournaments, including a par-three challenge in Donkey Kong's tree tops. Two courses feature traditional greens but more exotic fairways include Peach's Invitational, with ball-swallowing warp pipes, and the Bowser Championship, with tricky lava lakes and island hopping. Tournaments and character duels keep you busy and there is an extensive range of fun mini-games, such as contests where players must hit the ball through giant rings or have a club selected by a lucky spin. Games with friends are hilarious but grumbles include tricky short putts and an unreliable camera.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota finally mustered some momentum, enough to even slow streaking Oakland.
Lew Ford's triple scored Justin Morneau in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting the Twins past the Athletics 4-3 on Wednesday to end Minnesota's six-game losing skid and Oakland's six-game winning streak.
"It was huge," said Michael Cuddyer, who homered twice. "By the way we celebrated on the field, it was about like we won the World Series."
That's what happens when a team has scored only 70 runs since the All-Star break, second fewest in the league, and won only three of the last 13 games. But Morneau drew a walk with two outs against Justin Duchscherer (4-2), setting up the late drama.
Ford's line drive caromed off the wall in right, barely eluding Nick Swisher's glove. Swisher gathered himself after crashing into the padding and threw to cutoff man Mark Ellis, who fired home. Catcher Jason Kendall's tag missed Morneau, who dived headfirst wide of the plate and touched it with his left hand.
"He made a good slide," Kendall said. "I know I hit the jersey, but I don't know if it was after he touched the plate."
Joe Nathan (3-3) pitched a perfect ninth for the victory, one badly needed to lift the Twins' sagging spirits.
"It was nice to see some smiles in the clubhouse for once," manager Ron Gardenhire said.
Wearing red caps with blue bills in a superstitious search for a spark, the Twins got another sterling start from Carlos Silva -- who gleefully discussed a goofy, unintelligible rap song he recently recorded with teammates Johan Santana and Juan Castro.
"It's our secret weapon," Silva said. "Our team likes the song a lot. We made it just for the team."
Whatever works.
"We don't know where to go from here, but it was a nice night," said Gardenhire, whose team led the AL wild card race for most of the season until the midsummer slide.
The A's, who began the day one game behind first-place Los Angeles in the AL West, have since taken over the wild card by winning 33 of their previous 40 games.
They were on their way to another victory, until Cuddyer's two-run homer off Kiko Calero put the Twins up 3-2 in the seventh -- ruining Rich Harden's chance at winning his fifth straight start. Manager Ken Macha removed him with two outs and Jacque Jones on first.
"There's nothing you can do," Harden said. "He's already made up his mind. I felt confident with Kiko coming in."
Harden threw 102 pitches, yielding three hits, two runs and two walks while striking out seven.
Silva, who has been the most consistent starter on one of baseball's best pitching staffs, promptly surrendered the lead. Swisher led off the eighth with a double, moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Ellis and scored easily on a sacrifice fly by Kendall.
Silva gave up five hits and three runs (two earned) while striking out four in eight innings. It was the 13th time in 20 starts this season Silva has not allowed a walk.
Harden's only slip-up was in the third inning, when Cuddyer hit a one-out line drive to left-center that barely cleared the wall for a homer that tied the game at 1. Jason Bartlett followed with a single, and Nick Punto walked with two outs -- but Joe Mauer was retired on a groundout to end that threat.
Matthew LeCroy, Jones and Morneau -- Nos. 4, 5 and 6 in the batting order -- struck out during 1-2-3 innings their first two times up. Four of Harden's first six innings were perfect.
"I felt great," he said.
Silva hasn't won in five starts since July 4, because -- not surprisingly -- the run support just hasn't been there. During that stretch, he has pitched 38 innings and allowed only nine earned runs.
Rookie Dan Johnson homered to put Oakland up 2-1 in the seventh, giving a group of his friends and family sitting along the first base line reason to stand and cheer. Johnson, who grew up in the Minneapolis suburb of Coon Rapids, hit a 1-0 pitch from Silva off the blue banks of football seats above right field.
"It put us ahead for a bit, but it was for nothing," Johnson said. "It's a team game."
- This was Cuddyer's first career multihomer game.
- Johnson, who has seven homers, has hit in seven straight games.
- The Twins are hitless in their last 21 at-bats with runners in scoring position.

I've had my eyes on these darling little perfume bottles for a long time. The box is sweet and pretty, and very sturdy. The bottles are elegant and dainty, but still a good deal for free different designer perfumes.
Cleopatra is citrus, flowers, and musk. This is the most "perfumey" out of them, and it's harder to smell the components in this scent. It's light and delicate
Florence is fruit, bergamot, and blossoms. It's my favorite by far because the gardenia gives it an underlying, almost musky scent. It also reminds me of my honeymoon in New Orleans. It's just spectacular and I'd buy a full size of it for sure.
Stella is citrus, flowers, and incense. It reminds me of youth, and it's really an innocent, sweet scent.
This box has a different scent for every mood, and really is a chic treasure. Love it!
This is a lovely little gift set...you can't go wrong with any of the fragrances; there is one to suit any mood. While the scents do fade and change within an hour and throughout the day, I still enjoy the character of each one. My only critique is that with this gift box you are definitely paying for packaging. It arrives in an ornate gilded box...you lift the lid and there are three beautiful but tiny little bottles in a row. The bottles themselves are about the size of a silver dollar. Not much to do with the box but chuck it out. :-/4

JanSport Superbreak: the classic backpack
2 Recommendations
chillah's recommendation
This backpack is awesome... you can't go wrong! They're really durable and provide a pocket to separate your smaller things from your larger stuff. I think the best thing about it, though, is that it provides you room for the necessities and isn't too big so you don't over-pack and break your back!
silvercoins's recommendation
i used to dislike backpacks because they make me look smaller... not until i had this bag (i got a pink cherry daiquiri one, spring 2009 model)! this changed my perception about backpacks (i thought they were boring and too boyish for me). it made me enjoy going to school more. aside from those, it's very durable, doesn't feel like you're carrying too much things. and a lot of things can actually fit inside. i know this would last for years. :)

The mouth that roars nonsense once again uttered words of wrath against President Obama. Sarah Palin is concerned about illegal immigrants and wonders why, after an entire year as president, this man from Africa has failed to secure our border with Mexico. Standing with Arizona Governor Brewer, she told America, "it's time for Americans across this country to stand up and say, 'we're all Arizonians now' in clear unity. Mr President, do your job and secure our border." Of course, during the eight years of the George Bush administration when an estimated five million illegal immigrants entered this country, not a single Republican congressman or governor blasted Bush for failing to "secure our border.' In the bizzaro Palin world, every problem in America is due to Barack Obama!
George Bush began building a fence that has not worked too well. He did increase the number of those in the border patrol, that did not work too well. So, exactly what does the Putz from Alaska suggest President Obama do in order to handle illegal immigrants? I know, give a speech!

Nanotech 2007 Vol. 1
Technical Proceedings of the 2007 NSTI Nanotechnology Conference and Trade Show, Volume 1
Chapter 1: Carbon Nanotubes
Thermal Stability of Carbon Nanotubes produced by CCVD of Ethylene by using Different Supports
|L.F. Giraldo, B.L. López and G.M. Barrera
|Universidad de Antioquia, CO
|92 - 95
|carbon nanotubes, thermal stability, CCVD
|In the synthesis of carbon nanotubes two of the most important parameters to consider are the type of support and the kind of catalytic metal. In this work we have studied the thermal stability of multiwall carbon nanotubes produced by catalytic deposition of ethylene by using CaCO3, MgO and MCM41mesoporous silica as supports of metallic particles of Fe and Co. The samples are characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction. We find that the type of the support is an important factor in the efficiency and nature of the nanotube obtained. The amount of nanotubes obtained is higher when CaCO3 is utilized as support; however the structural regularity of the material produced is lower than the nanotubes obtained by using mesoporous materials and the MgO as supports. The synthesized material has 70 % nanotubes when the CaCO3 is used as support of 6 wt % Fe and 12 wt % Co as catalytic metals. For the same catalyst and reaction conditions, an increase in the flow of ethylene increase the length of the nanotubes, this is reflected in the efficiency, but it does not seem to modify the nanotube diameter.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Great little flat in the Croix-Rousse which is a handy neighbourhood for shops, metro, etc...
Great communication with Emilie, clean and very practical little place to stay. It is a bit dark though if you are planning on staying outside in the little courtyard.
Thank you, Emilie!
Quiet & clean flat in a great location. Sorry we could not meet you in person.
Highly recommended.
Jill & Marco
Very nice and functional accommodation, conveniently located in the heart of Lyon! I recommend it!
Logement très agréable et fonctionnel, très bien situé en plein coeur de Lyon!
Je le recommande !!
In the studio in May 2013 L'Vendroit (Saxe Gambetta) is a nice, clean and tastefully furnished, spacious 1 bedroom apt. Centrally located in the 3rd OG. In addition to a well-equipped kitchenette, a spacious shower, a double bed and a pull out sofa bed, there was even a very well-functioning free internet access (wireless). Positive to mention are still the good Einkäufsmöglichkeiten close and within walking distance from Metro Station. When traveling by car, it is generally recommended to provide this while staying at an all-day parking, as there are public parking is extremely limited and the switch to public transport is convenient.
im Mai 2013
Bei dem Studio L'Endroit (Saxe Gambetta) handelt es sich um ein schönes, sauberes und geschmackvoll eingerichtetes, großzügiges 1 Zimmer App. in zentraler Lage im 3. OG.
Neben einer gut ausgerüsteten Küchenzeile, einer großzügigen Dusche, einem Doppelbett und einer ausziehbaren Schlafcouch gab es sogar noch einen sehr gut funktionierenden freien Internetanschluss (WLAN). Positiv zu erwähnen sind noch die guten Einkäufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe und die nur wenige Gehminuten entfernte U-Bahn Station.
Bei der Anreise mit dem Auto ist es allerdings empfehlenswert dieses während des Aufenthalts in ein ganztägig geöffnetes Parkhaus zu stellen, da die öffentlichen Parkmöglichkeiten dort äußerst begrenzt sind und der Umstieg auf den öffentlichen Nahverkehr bequemer ist.
a warm welcome. No surprises throughout the stay. The housing is the description
un très bon accueil. Pas de mauvaise surprise tout au long du séjour. Le logement correspond au descriptif
Small studio, very quiet, and very convenient for the metro. Well appointed studio that includes everything needed for an enjoyable stay in Lyon during the Christmas lights.
Petit studio, bien calme, bien placé par rapport au métro. Studio bien agencé qui comporte tout le nécessaire pour passer un agréable séjour à Lyon durant les fêtes des lumières.
Accommodation, comfortable and clean match the description, a bit noisy: cause work face. Pleasant
Logement fonctionnel, confortable et propre correspond au descriptif, un peu bruyant : cause travaux en face . Séjour agréable
A great location and comfortably appointed. Probably better for a shorter stay because of the lack of external view and a mustiness due to lack of airflow.
Nice apartment close to shops and station Saxe-Gambetta. Quiet place.
Bel appartement agréable à proximité des commerces et de la station Saxe-Gambetta. Lieu calme.
Excellent little apartment,very well equipped,clean and tidy and free wifi too..great situation for exploring Lyon and lovely wine bars around the corner open up in the evenings.Really enjoyed our stay there.

How Does a Fool Say Thank You?
As a mere child, my father blessed me with the sensibilities to think for the future. Of course, he had his eccentricities as most depression babies do (we'll not talk about the hoarding of gallon jugs of water, flashlights, rubber bands, pocket knives and way too many other items beyond description). But he also was a Foolish man long before we knew what it was to be Foolish.
Since he worked for a large telephone company for nearly his entire career, he had the ability to purchase stock for all of his children. Further proving his Foolishness, he let the dividends reinvest thereby amassing quite a tidy portfolio for me and my brothers by the time we reached the age where we were legally able to squander it if we so chose.
Amazingly, however, none of us ever did. You would think that at least one of his three children would be the spendthrift, go on a shopping spree in Europe or just blow the money from the stock on some cool muscle car, women, drugs, or other illicit activities. Instead, all of us used the stock as a basis for our own investment strategies or sold some off to plunk down a big down payment for a house.
Now don't get me wrong, my dad did not preach about investments to us. Hey, until I went to grad school, I really did not know much about investments, and after finishing with an MBA in finance, I still barely understand the stock markets (but then I guess I'm in some good company). My father, instead, taught us by his example. He was sensible in his investments, he was a buy-and-hold investor long before the average person knew what that meant.
Upon his passing a few years ago, we discovered what his fortune has amassed to and we were all quite surprised. Again, with foresight he had he left his investments in a trust for my mother so she may afford a good standard of living. In a little over two years time that trust has more than doubled in value, which is a strong testament to the power of sensible, or Foolish, investing.
I suppose the moral of this story is that it is never too early to begin setting good financial examples for your children. Buy them some stock, let it reinvest, buy them some more. If you do this and set a good example of financial responsibility, it is almost guaranteed that your children will have a good, solid start in life.
I am ever grateful to my dad for so many things (including the flashlights, pocket knives, string, rubber bands, calculators, etc.), but especially for the solid start he gave me in my life. Thanks, daddy.

Did you know Homicide: Life on the Street's Detective John Munch (played by Richard Belzer) appeared in Arrested Development, Law & Order, The X Files and The Wire? Or that a Firefly-class ship can be seen in the first few minutes of the Battlestar Galactica mini-series? Or that Lost's Charlie Pace hooks up with a girl whose father is in the middle of purchasing a paper company in Slough, the same town where The Office was set?
The crossover is one of the most fun aspects of regular television viewing - and I was reminded of just how much fun they can be after coming across Poobala's Crossovers and Spin-Offs List last week ... which resulted in about half my weekend being spent in front of my lappy, gobbling up every last crossover I could read about.
Crossovers can be subtle and they can be comical, like when Mulder & Scully appeared on The Simpsons. But crossovers can also be big, acting as backdoor pilots for new shows or establishing a shared reality for two series; for example, if Detective John Munch is a real character on Homicide, Arrested Development, Law & Order, The X Files and The Wire, then isn't it fair to assume that all of those exist in the same fictional alternative universe? I think so.
Anyway, I don't want to get too complicated - in fact, I wanted to have a bit of fun today: seeing as it's the Friday before a long weekend, I thought we could have a bit of a laugh designing our own TV crossovers.
All you have to do is pick a character, setting, object or story event from one show, and introduce it to another show. Your crossover can be as big or small as you'd like; make it a glaringly obvious reference or a delightfully subtle nod to a favourite show. Just make sure you post your ideas in the comments section below.
To get things started, here are five crossovers I'd like to see take place ...
CSI / Fringe / Person of Interest: Nick heads to a crime scene on the roof of the Mandalay Bay, where a man swears he saw a person jump off the edge of the building and fly away; unable to disprove the witness, the case is sent to the FBI where it lands on Olivia Dunham's desk. At the same time, the Mandalay Flying Bird Man (so named by the awkward Las Vegas media) has become a target for the mysterious Mr Finch after his social security number popped out of the machine, leading to a gripping face-off (is there any other kind?!) between Reese and Dunham.
Go Girls / The Almighty Johnsons: Britta wears fairy outfits and seems she probably believes in a heap of kooky-spiritual-fantasy stuff ... isn't it at least possible that she might be Frigg? If it isn't possible, it certainly will be after I take over at South Pacific Pictures and green-light The Almighty Go Girls: Gods of the North Shore.
Dexter / Criminal Minds / Sons of Anarchy: The BAU team are called in after the murder of several men involved in a hostage crisis at Harrison Morgan's daycare centre, unaware that the unsub is actually Dexter "The Bay Harbour Butcher" Morgan. Meanwhile, Dexter escapes to Charming, California, where he hides out with new friend Jax Teller under the assumed biker name Dogwood Corgan ... until an Irish guy kidnaps Harrison and takes him to Belfast, at which point I switch off because that s*** was boring the first time.
House / Monroe: This is actually a fully formed spinoff in which the two doctors just argue back and forth about who is making the correct diagnosis, while simultaneously one-upping each other by sabotaging their own personal lives, until a minor cast member saves the day in the final act. Who wouldn't watch an hour of that every week?!
Downton Abbey / Boardwalk Empire: This might be the greatest idea I've ever had, and it fits into eight simple words: Nucky Thompson, the Countess of Grantham's American brother. I've got a large grin just imagining the possibilities. Would Thomas leave Downton to join the booze war in Atlantic City? Could Arnold Rothstein join Nucky for a short visit to the estate? How quickly would Owen Sleater talk Anna into cheating on Mr Bates? Perhaps Margaret Schroeder and Branson the Chauffeur could be old school friends?! Dear god, please make this happen.

Here's my dream TV crossover: Kardashian UFC special.
Each of the cast of the vomitous 'Kardashian' programmes are, one-by-one, led into the UFC cage to be pummelled into a bloody mess by a mugging bully-boy.
Ratings success would obviously dictate whether any followups happen. With luck we'd get at least one sequel, and I'd have to vote for that to be a Jersey Shore UFC special.
Downton Abbey/Boardwalk Empire. My head just exploded from sheer awesomeness.
Criminal Minds/Packed to the Rafters. No idea how they would interact, but you could guarantee every episode would be 'UNMISSABLE!'.
Oh and being an ancient Homicide fan, yes I did know of the many incarnations of Detective Munch :) One of the many highlights of 'The Wire' was spotting all of the 'Homicide' alumni popping up here and there.
Dukes Of Hazzard/Seinfeld
I would rewrite the final episode of Seinfeld so that the plane is forced to make an emergency landing in Hazzard instead of Latham - Jerry, George, Elaine & Kramer could then be arrested by Sheriff Coltrane on some trumped up charge but instead of going to trial as they did in the actual finale Bo & Luke could bust them out of jail and spend the rest of the episode fanging around in the General Lee jumping over stuff. Elaine could hook up with Cooter, Daisy (having rebuffed Jerry's advances) could hook up with George, Kramer could make an unco-ordinated fool of himself attempting a General Lee bonnet slide and somehow it would all contribute to Uncle Jesse saving the Duke farm from Boss Hogg.
that's some good TV watchin'...
Speaking of cross-overs, I just discovered last night that they have published the Richard Castle novels, Heat Wave etc as by Richard Castle. One reviewer made me laugh, "In the show he comes across as a much better writer!"
Too late in week for me to be inventive, but my favourite cross-overs were the A-Team at a picture studio where Face sees a Cylon and pauses for a moment with a don't I know you look. And Mad About You appearing on Friends mistaking Phoebe for her sister.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Twilight cross over. Buffy turns up in this cross time / cross genre (TV vs Movie) show, kills all the sparkly emo gits :-)
Works equally well with anybody who kills vampires + Twilight.
I'd like to see Glee & Dexter crossed over - hopefully he kills them all & Glee is never shown again
If you're aware of the Poobala site, then hopefully you've discovered the Tommy Westphall universe. The theory goes, the final scene of St Elsewhere revealed the show to take place in the mind of an autistic boy calld Tommy Westphall. But characters from St Elsewhere appeared in Homicide, so therefore Homicide must also exist in the child's mind. Meanwhile, the character of John Munch leaves Homicide and becomes a regular in Law and Order: SVU, so all the L&O spin-offs are also imagined. The character of Munch also appears in shows like The Wire, Arrested Development, and The X-Files, putting all those shows in the child's mind. If you carry on following all these threads, you get an entire universe of television shows that logically are all being imagined by this one child.
(There's also another thread that leads through Cheers, but as I understand it the Cheers characters appeared on St Elsewhere, not the other way around, so you could argue that Tommy Westphall was just incorporating characters from another TV show he'd seen into the universe he's imagining, so I personally discount that thread. With the Homicide crossover, the imagined characters went into another show, which is different from characters in another show appearing in an imagined universe.)
Assuming that referencing another show makes them both part of the same universe is rarely a good thing for one's sanity. For example, both Community and Cougar Town exist as shows in each other's universe (characters on both shows have mentioned watching the other show), but if you try and bend your mind to fit both of these possibilities into a single universe... well, I can't even describe how impossible it would be.
I've always felt that every Australian Rom Com drama series (excluding Underbelly) should all be combined into one hour episode and do us all a favor.
Australia is a big place so its not inconceivable that the McLeods Daughters farm is in the middle somewhere but driving distance to the Home & Away seaside, or the city, or the naval base, or the Police station, or the vet clinic, or whatever.
Just imagine how much time that would free up on our screens for other, hopefully more interesting, viewing.
You know it makes sense!

The "95-7 Throwback Of The Day" 2/22
The #1 song this week 20 years ago… so hard to believe it has been 20 years since this graced our ears… was a song that is still mocked too the bitter end and butchered at karaoke on a regular basis. "I'm Too Sexy" is sung from the point of view of a self-satisfied fashion model, by English trio Right Said Fred.
"I'm Too Sexy" was an anthem for all runway models, RuPaul, or anyone who thought their "stuff" didn't stink… But it kinda annoyed the heck out of me. The song topped the charts for 3 weeks, as more of a fad then just a pure good song in my opinion. However, it is here to torture you yet again as the "Throwback Of The Day."

The Birth of a Eurasian Century
Posted on May 19, 2014
By Pepe Escobar, TomDispatch
This piece first appeared at TomDispatch. Read Tom Engelhardt's introduction here.
HONG KONG—A specter is haunting Washington, an unnerving vision of a Sino-Russian alliance wedded to an expansive symbiosis of trade and commerce across much of the Eurasian land mass—at the expense of the United States.
And no wonder Washington is anxious. That alliance is already a done deal in a variety of ways: through the BRICS group of emerging powers (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa); at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Asian counterweight to NATO; inside the G20; and via the 120-member-nation Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). Trade and commerce are just part of the future bargain. Synergies in the development of new military technologies beckon as well. After Russia's Star Wars-style, ultra-sophisticated S-500 air defense anti-missile system comes online in 2018, Beijing is sure to want a version of it. Meanwhile, Russia is about to sell dozens of state-of-the-art Sukhoi Su-35 jet fighters to the Chinese as Beijing and Moscow move to seal an aviation-industrial partnership.
This week should provide the first real fireworks in the celebration of a new Eurasian century-in-the-making when Russian President Vladimir Putin drops in on Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. You remember "Pipelineistan," all those crucial oil and gas pipelines crisscrossing Eurasia that make up the true circulatory system for the life of the region. Now, it looks like the ultimate Pipelineistan deal, worth $1 trillion and 10 years in the making, will be inked as well. In it, the giant, state-controlled Russian energy giant Gazprom will agree to supply the giant state-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) with 3.75 billion cubic feet of liquefied natural gas a day for no less than 30 years, starting in 2018. That's the equivalent of a quarter of Russia's massive gas exports to all of Europe. China's current daily gas demand is around 16 billion cubic feet a day, and imports account for 31.6% of total consumption.
Square, Site wide
Exit the Petrodollar, Enter the Gas-o-Yuan
And then, talking about anxiety in Washington, there's the fate of the petrodollar to consider, or rather the "thermonuclear" possibility that Moscow and Beijing will agree on payment for the Gazprom-CNPC deal not in petrodollars but in Chinese yuan. One can hardly imagine a more tectonic shift, with Pipelineistan intersecting with a growing Sino-Russian political-economic-energy partnership. Along with it goes the future possibility of a push, led again by China and Russia, toward a new international reserve currency—actually a basket of currencies—that would supersede the dollar (at least in the optimistic dreams of BRICS members).
Right after the potentially game-changing Sino-Russian summit comes a BRICS summit in Brazil in July. That's when a $100 billion BRICS development bank, announced in 2012, will officially be born as a potential alternative to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank as a source of project financing for the developing world.
More BRICS cooperation meant to bypass the dollar is reflected in the "Gas-o-yuan," as in natural gas bought and paid for in Chinese currency. Gazprom is even considering marketing bonds in yuan as part of the financial planning for its expansion. Yuan-backed bonds are already trading in Hong Kong, Singapore, London, and most recently Frankfurt.
Nothing could be more sensible for the new Pipelineistan deal than to have it settled in yuan. Beijing would pay Gazprom in that currency (convertible into rubles); Gazprom would accumulate the yuan; and Russia would then buy myriad made-in-China goods and services in yuan convertible into rubles.
It's common knowledge that banks in Hong Kong, from Standard Chartered to HSBC—as well as others closely linked to China via trade deals—have been diversifying into the yuan, which implies that it could become one of the de facto global reserve currencies even before it's fully convertible. (Beijing is unofficially working for a fully convertible yuan by 2018.)
The Russia-China gas deal is inextricably tied up with the energy relationship between the European Union (EU) and Russia. After all, the bulk of Russia's gross domestic product comes from oil and gas sales, as does much of its leverage in the Ukraine crisis. In turn, Germany depends on Russia for a hefty 30% of its natural gas supplies. Yet Washington's geopolitical imperatives—spiced up with Polish hysteria—have meant pushing Brussels to find ways to "punish" Moscow in the future energy sphere (while not imperiling present day energy relationships).
There's a consistent rumble in Brussels these days about the possible cancellation of the projected 16 billion euro South Stream pipeline, whose construction is to start in June. On completion, it would pump yet more Russian natural gas to Europe—in this case, underneath the Black Sea (bypassing Ukraine) to Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Greece, Italy, and Austria.
Bulgaria, Hungary, and the Czech Republic have already made it clear that they are firmly opposed to any cancellation. And cancellation is probably not in the cards. After all, the only obvious alternative is Caspian Sea gas from Azerbaijan, and that isn't likely to happen unless the EU can suddenly muster the will and funds for a crash schedule to construct the fabled Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline, conceived during the Clinton years expressly to bypass Russia and Iran.

When it is around Christmas time and the radio stations are playing Christmas music 24/7, get into your buddy's car when he is not paying attention. Tune the radio into a Christmas station and crank the music up and shut the radio off. Next time he goes to start his car, Christmas music will be screaming out his speakers. Also can be called "The Christmas Jingle", "The Holiday Spirit", or "Leaving Somebody Jumping for Joy"
The Christmas special should be used mainly on people who are sensitive to loud noises, or people who hate Christmas music. However, it can be used on anybody as a good practical joke.

Our Rosemeade Pottery Miniature Cream and Sugar in Corn Pattern, 1940′s-50′s is adorable ! Circa 1940′s-1950′s. Both have the "Rosemeade" stamp on the base.
The creamer measures 2 1/2 inches tall and the sugar is 2 inches tall. Very good condition. No chips, cracks or repairs. Value point $50.00
Darlene Hurst Dommel offers this history on Rosemeade Pottery:
"Rosemeade pottery has become a popular collectible today because its creator Laura Taylor Hughes chose subjects which continually fascinate people–animals birds fish–and modeled authentic characterizations of their living counterparts. These innovative designs were then accurately hand painted in nature's vivid coloring.
Laura Taylor combined education experience and creative skill. Educated at UND Taylor was a student and assistant to nationally known director Margaret Cable. After a short period of making Dickota pottery at the Dickinson Clay Products Company Laura Taylor was appointed state supervisor of the North Dakota Works Administration (WPA).
An opportunity to demonstrate pottery making at the 1939 New York World's Fair changed Laura Taylor's life as she met Robert J. Hughes zealous booster of state enterprise. Together they founded the Wahpeton Pottery Company in January 1940 and married three years later.
Many of Laura Taylor's naturalistic designs reflected the native flora and fauna of her North Dakota farm childhood. A wide range of other products included place souveniers human forms functional items and advertising pieces. Observing trends Taylor met the needs and wishes of the public. The company name was changed to Rosemeade Potteries in 1953 for better name recognition and remained successful while many other companies of that era did not survive."

Lewis versus Harrison
Six professional fights is not long in a boxing career, but it has been long enough to cast considerable doubt over Audley Harrison's credentials as a would-be world champion.
The great British hope has stumbled out of the blocks since winning the Olympic super-heavyweight title in 2000.
His latest win - a competent points decision over journeyman Dominic Negus - has done little to appease critics like Richie Woodhall.
But is the weight of expectation too heavy on Audley's broad shoulders at this stage of his development?
And more importantly, does his career compare favourably to that of Lennox Lewis, who also won the super-heavyweight Olympic crown, before becoming an elite champion?
Lewis v Harrison: Their first six fights
Lewis' first six bouts - against Al Malcolm, Bruce Johnson, Andrew Gerrard, Steve Garber and Melvin Epps and Greg Gorrell - were not notable for their quality.
But they did all take place within six months of each other in 1989 and resulted in comprehensive early-round victories for the current world champ.
Harrison's first fights - with a similar cast of journeymen and unknowns - have taken more than a year and three of them have gone the distance.
This is justifiable for a lighter heavyweight like Evander Holyfield, who relied on points early in his career, but it is hardly impressive from an 18-stone behemoth like Harrison.
Lewis v Harrison: Punching power
"You've got to question Audley's punching power," said Richie Woodhall, a former WBC super-middleweight champion.
"Frank Bruno, Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson were knocking people out left, right and centre when they were at the same stage of their careers."
That Harrison was unable to knock out Negus does not damage his pro record but it raises concerns for the future.
Here is a man built to destroy opponents, relying instead on the judges and on his questionable stamina for the late rounds.
Lewis v Harrison: Their age
Harrison must hurry up his fights and his career if he is to become heavyweight champion of the world.
Lewis stepped up slowly after his pro debut, but he could afford the luxury of 22 fights before he was handed the WBC belt in 1992.
Harrison, one suspects, cannot.
Already 30, he has only a limited number of good boxing years ahead of him.
Notwithstanding the fact that Lewis appears to be at his best at the age of 36 and that George Foreman was world champion at 48, time is already running out for Harrison.
Perhaps the most relevant comparison between him and Lewis is by age.
By the time Lewis was 30, he had already won and lost a world championship, beating Ossie Ocasio, Mike Weaver, Derek Williams and "Razor" Ruddock along the way.
Lewis v Harrison: Their futures
The heavyweight division is soon to be without its old warhorses - as Lewis and his contemporaries Tyson and Evander Holyfield will soon retire.
That could leave the door open for Harrison, but with talented WBO champ Vladimir Klitschko lying in wait at the tender age of 26, the Olympian must step up in class quickly if he is to realise his boxing dreams.

Local-scale nutrient regeneration facilitates seaweed growth on wave-exposed rocky shores in an upwelling system
Limnol. Oceanogr., 54(1), 2009, 309-317 | DOI: 10.4319/lo.2009.54.1.0309
ABSTRACT: This study shows that, even on exposed, wave-swept, rocky shores in a nutrient-replete upwelling ecosystem, mussels (Mytilus californianus) facilitate the growth of the seaweed Porphyra perforata by enhancing nutrient concentrations in the nearby water column. In field surveys on emergent substrate in the mid-intertidal zone, we found ten times greater abundance of P. perforata on mussels than on adjacent rock. In field experiments, P. perforata accumulated and grew more quickly on mussels than on bare rock or on mussel mimics, suggesting that nutrients excreted by mussels might be responsible for greater P. perforata cover. At high tide, water column ammonium concentrations over mussel beds were nearly double those found over bare rock. Correspondingly, tissue nitrogen concentrations were higher, and carbon-to-nitrogen ratios were lower in P. perforata growing on mussels compared to bare rock. Given the dominance of mussels in mid-intertidal regions of temperate coasts worldwide, ammonium regeneration could be a general contributor to local-scale nutrient availability, even in high-flow systems characterized by high nutrient concentrations.
