As Ariel noted, the first thread got much too long, so here comes thread #2! Post all of your cute and funny animal videos here.
Man oh man, don'cha just want so badly to pick at least one up and kiss and pet and love and cuddle him/her?!! My arms are now aching to hug a kitten!! Maybe I should run up to our local shelter tomorrow.
Thanks, Ariel. SWEET to the enth degree are these babes!
I feel the same way, Cheryl. British shorthair are gorgeous kittens and beautiful grown up cats. Their fur is soft and luxurious.
Aaaaaaaaawwwwwww aren't they soooo cute!!! Thank you Lynn!
Cheryl how is your adorable little cockatiel doing?
Here are 2 adorable Kiwi bird chicks!
THEY ARE SO ADORABLE, BARB! Isn't it truly incredible that there are so many species of animals and birds? I am dumb-struck with awe at times when I see how so many different creatures inhabit this earth. God knows, they need humans to PROTECT, not destroy them.
Thanks so much for this awesome video showing these amazing babies!
My Tweets is fine, thanks Barb. My 22-23 year old senior is cranky and very protective over his cage and we've JUST LEARNED that this is how these males are naturally! It makes us laugh when he's so cranky and we think that's why he has those red cheeks! lol
I hope Baby and Beenie are doing well. Have they thoroughly adapted to their new surroundings?
Here is another video of the cute little white Kiwi chick and they show the cute little brown one too.

Hi Cherly we are posting at the same time! Awesome!
Yes my birds are doing well and getting more use to the surroundings all of the time.
You know my birds are both males and very protective of their cages too. lol.
Hi Barb -- I love being in the same room at the same time! It's almost like we're having a coffee together or we're on the phone!
So glad to hear your babes are doing well, and that's funny that yours are both males (I thought one was a female). Do you have more than one cage -- like, each one has his own?
how sweet they are gordeous thanks Barb
Yes Cheryl I have 2 cages. One for each bird. The younger one, Beenie, tends to bully the older one, Baby. Beenie pushes Baby around too much, so I put Baby in his cage to rest. It's all because Baby won't let Beenie preen him. lol. Goodness Gracious, Beenie gets so upset too.
You are most welcome Mary. I am glad you enjoyed the little Kiwis!
That's interesting about your male birds, Barb. Is it because they're both male that Beenie pushes Baby around?
I loved the video about the kiwi chicks. They're so cute..especially the white one. Thanks for posting that for us!
Great big kiwi hugs. lol
You are most welcome Lynn
Beenie pushes Baby around because he decided he is the dominent bird even though Baby is older than him. Baby use to push his parakeet friend around that was older than him. And Baby loved the parakeet Buddy very much. Beenie loves Baby very much too, but besides wanting to be the dominant bird, Beenie gets very frustrated when Baby will not let Beenie preen (groom) his feathers.
Birds have a hiearchy system. It's natural. lol.
What a great story, Barb! I had to sit for a few minutes and try to think about who was who and who did what to whom.
That's funny about Baby not letting Beenie preen him! Like my guy, if he only would let Baby do that he'd probably like it! If only our little guy would allow us to scratch his head he'd probably love it. His hanging mirror is his "Buddy" and he rolls the mirror around his head gently while talking lovingly to it. I saw a video recently (somewhere) where a Cockatiel made a little stuffed toy on the floor his "Buddy" and got real cosy with it as if it was a real bird.
how beautiful thanks for this Lynn
Absolutely adorable! It's too bad, however, that mama bear couldn't feed her little one. Even though she couldn't feed him, I bet she misses her babe. I couldn't help but take a few screenshots.
People here in BC are absolutely disgusted with the decision by some gov't official to 'put down' two brown baby bears (about two weeks old, without their eyes open even) after a &%$Z@ logging truck ran into the place where the mama and her cubs were living. Mother bear ran off (of course). They showed the babies on the news after they were found and to know they were put down is unforgivable!
Yay... just found Ariel's post with the live cam link to SIKU. THANKS, ARIEL!! Posting it on this thread too.
PBS and Explore.org have set up a webcam to watch Siku the polar bear at the Scandinavian Wildlife Park in Denmark
Thanks for the screen shots, sis. They're adorable!
That's horrible about the bear cubs were put down. Totally unnecessary....they could have been taken care of just as Suki is being taken care of. So barbaric!!
Please click on the link below for the Care2 news story:
Dogs can be athletic just like their humans! We've seen some dogs who really love to get out and active in some very funny ways. I wanted to share these videos with you today. I think you will get a kick out of them.
First is a Lab named Flo and she LOVES to take the high dive. Check it out!
If water isn't quite your thing, how about tennis? It's 3-love for Zoe and her big mouth versus the tennis balls.
Finally...basketball for dogs? You bet. Petey shoots some hoops with his human.
I hope these videos made you laugh!

Ariel, thanks so much for posting that inspiring story about the dog who survived for so long in the desert before he was reunited with his family. Beautiful, amazing little sheltie!
This is hilarious. I'm still laughing!!

Thank you Lynn for the adorable baby polar bear cub videos!
I need to catch up in here
Love and big hugs.
You might have already posted this video, but here it is again!
Touched by a Wild Mountain Gorilla!
Hi Lynn, Cheryl, Ariel, Mary.
Wow amazingly talented dogs!!! Very athletic. The basket ball playing dog wears little boots! Did you notice that? And amazing story of the little dog that survived in the desert 53 days and finally got found after the horrible car crash.
And what a cute dog that puts away all of his toys. So cute!
Hi Barb, Lynn, Mary, Ariel and others!
Ariel, I left a comment on that wonderful article. I do believe there was a "helping hand" in getting that precious dog back to his owner who really needed him. Thanks for sharing the link here!
Lynn, the videos are wonderful! Those dogs are so cute and look like they are enjoying themselves. But I have to say that the cat video really got to me. I showed it to my son and he got some great laughs too. What silly, zany, make-you-laugh animals they are. Thanks so much for posting them.
Barb, I've seen the gorilla one but I just had to watch it again. I have always been fascinated by primates because so many seem to act like humans in another body. The silver back is absolutely incredible. He protects his big family so well and they listen (I would too!). Thanks for posting it so I could see it again.
I looked at the Siku Cam just before watching the videos and he is so funny and cute. It is snowing where he is and a woman was in there playing with him. He is rolling and reaching and pawing everything in sight, including the woman. I couldn't help but take a few screenshots:
Baby laughs hysterically while dog eats bubbles.
That is so funnnnnny! Ya just can't watch that without laughing yourself. Notice how baby can stop laughing so suddenly then erupt with laughter again. It's wonderful how animals can make babies laugh. It's great to start them off with an animal very young if possible.
Thanks, Lynn. Does a body good to laugh!
That is very funny Lynn and Cheryl!!! I think the dog knows how much he is making the baby laugh, too.
Little Siku is sure growing and changing colour! It's great fun to watch him on the live cam because someone is operating the camera and keeps up with him. He is such a gorgeous BABY, playing with this fellow and a big stick. He just wants to play with anything he can get ahold of.
Link to Siku Cam
Thanks again Ariel for the link.
I wonder if he is going to be approachable when he gets older. I hope so.
I live very close to where this beautiful eagle was released sisters and brothers! This is really awesome!
Posted on March 17, 2012 at 6:27 PM
An eagle is flying high again, thanks to a few months of tender loving care.
The Sarvey Wildlife Care Center released a bald eagle in Burien Saturday morning.
The wildlife center worked since December to help the bird regain endurance after determining the eagle had an injury that healed improperly.
"You know, I've been doing this for 30 years and it doesn't get old. It really doesn't. I mean each bird is like each person. It's an individual and you root for it," said Kestrel SkyHawk
The Sarvey Wildlife Center estimates it takes in more than 4,000 patients each year.
Go here to see the video of the beautiful eagle being released by a wonderful lady!
I need to also post about North West Bird Rescue owned and operated by a guardian angel of birds. Chrisopher "Bird Man" Driggins. He is so awesome and live in my state. I even nominated him for an award and called him on the phone. I just love what he does.
"Bozo aka Tarzan" a Scarlet Macaw One of our logo Birds
Not everything I wanted you to see would fit here so here is the link To the N.W. Bird Rescue Blog.
Here is a picture of Christpher "Bird Man" Driggins helping an abandoned duck ABOVE. He is an angel.
More Pictures on his Facebook Page Here.
All of these show dogs having fun with a classic, well-loved toy: a good old ball.
First, isn't dog training incredible? I didn't know if this was a dog or a seal!
An energetic Whippet shows off an amazing talent in this next video.
Finally, how adorable are these Corgis? They are just some of the cutest things I've ever seen.
I hope these videos make you laugh just like I did!
Oh wow, Barb, those birds are amazing and gorgeous!! And I don't think many people can resist the joy that comes with seeing the release of a animal or bird back into the wild! I spent some time looking at the websites and what amazing people these rescuers are. I saw "PaPa" - a 17 year old Cockatiel in there (I can imagine how long those parrots live). Incredible love and patience has gone into caring for some of these abandoned/abused birds and to think one has a vocabulary of 250 words and knows all the other parrots' names!!! Woweee!! Thanks so much for posting all this wonderful info.
Lynn, those dogs are soooooo cute! It's hard to believe the dog with the basketball can do that! He should be some team's mascot, for sure. The Corgis with the pole ball look like they're having such great fun. What a great toy! Thanks for posting these great videos.
Here's the link to some great HAPPY DOGS videos someone posted on Care2. Ya just can't help but smile and laugh when animals do the things they do!!

I love the picture of Christopher "Bird Man" holding the duck. The duck is tame and was abandoned, but Christopher rescued him!
Lynn those dogs are so cute and funny playing ball!!! LOL the pant while they are hitting or balancing the ball. It's so funny!

Wow, Mary, that one had me crying! That poor baby just lying in a dirty pile of garbage waiting to die! She was able to be petted right away. Such a loving gentle baby with so much to give. I love how her little tail wags near the end.
Thank you so much for posting this. We NEED to see these HAPPY ENDING stories. They energize us and show us how many GOOD people there are in this world.
While I was here I checked the Siku Cam and was so pleased to see him just catch his own fish! He stretched himself far into the water and -- look closely, he has a fish in his mouth! He sure is a bundle of curiosity, energy, playfulness, intelligence, and joy!
This is so cute!
Oh Lynn both adorable and wonderful videos! And this little baby sparrow is so adorable!!! I love the mother duck and her babies!
Oh wow Lynn! These got both Barb and I crying (for joy!)
What a incredible story that warms the heart about the little sparrow. I think this little one was put there on purpose. In my belief, Spirit works with animals but especially birds and little things like dragonflies and ladybugs. It was meant that THAT man came along to guard the baby until this couple got there. Not only has this little bird enhanced and changed their lives, they did this video and wrote the story for it to touch the lives of others.
So... what is it telling us? "He sees every sparrow that falls..." - for one. Humans or whatever has been given life is important and has worth, no matter what challenges it may have.
And the momma duck with her ducklings... affect a large number of people who were in a rush to get somewhere, or had something 'deep' on their mind, before they came along. Cars come to a stop, people's protective instincts emerge, and THERE ARE SMILES EVERYWHERE! She and her ducklings say, "Stop and smell the roses today and look around you at all the wonderful things in this world there are to see!"
Obviously I enjoyed these posts, Lynn. Thanks for bringing us a whole lot of smiles!
P.S. I think humans passed the tests on both occasions!

Parakeets "talk" to each other. I wonder what they were saying.
Aaaaaaawwww Lynn aren't they adorable!!! Thank you.
Lynn, Cheryl, Mary and all of my other sisters and brothers. Here is another adorable parakeet and his new bunny!
Lynn how do you get the video onto this box?
Here is another really cute one with the same cute birdie!!!
Oh My this bird and the others are so adorable!!! Here is another video of them!
And here is another adorable one!
Seriously, these should be shown to anyone who suffers from depression or anything else. Laughter is such good medicine.
I feel like I'm in another world watching these. They are like little aliens who understand perfectly what is going on. Boy, they sure keep these amazing birds clean and healthy.
Thanks so much Lynn and Barb for filling my home with laughter tonight!
Barb: to bring the video up, type the following:
then copy the URL or www.etc. of the video and paste it in right after the ":" at the end of the word video with no space in between). It won't show up until you press "preview" and voila... there it is!!
ducklings get the help they need heres the link http://www.godvine.com/Ducklings-in-Need-of-Help-Get-Just-What-They-Need-Cute-1313.html
I don't know how I missed these....
What an incredible experience with the whale and her calf!! Those people were braver in that little boat than I would have been. Sheesh! But the whale was probably getting a kick out of the attention and certainly wasn't short on curiosity. Thanks, Lynn. I felt like I was on that boat a few times. lol
Mary, I came to post the one about the wolves and that ALPHA woman and I couldn't believe you had been on the same thread! Awesome! The ducklings are SOOOO cute and that man was very kind to put the step there. I don't think momma duck was too thrilled about him approaching and she'll never know just how this human helped her babies. Thanks, sis. It is such a cute video.
Here's the one I was going to post:
This is probably the coolest video we've ever posted. This woman reunites with the wild wolves she once socialized, and it's a great and loving reunion. It'll put a smile on your face.
P.S. All the growling - jealously and domination near the end - would have made me slowly back out of the scene!
Cheryl, all that was directed amongst the wolves themselves, not at the woman. She was in no danger.
It's the most amazing video I've seen in a long time, Cheryl dear. Thanks so much for posting it. Reminds me of the reunion between Christian, the lion and the two men who raised him from a cub.

Another awesome wolf video....from a movie I think.
Does your dog like to play? Run? If you have an active dog it can seem like that's ALL they want to do! Dogs love to bat around a ball and even play fetch but what about basketball? Well - for some dogs basketball (also known as "bark-sketball"?) might be just the ticket! Isn't he funny? I hope you enjoy this video. If you get the urge to try some more fun outside activities, here are some great articles on spending time with your dog outdoors.

i love the wolf video and the wonderful whale one too thanks Lynn they are amazing
Lynn - I know the woman was safe from those who were being a bit snarly with one another but I wouldn't want to be in the middle of the two. I think alpha wolf would have protected her. They were all like welcoming puppies! Many wolves in sanctuaries form relationships with humans but I've never seen a wild pack of wolves do this with any human. Amazing.
Lynn - The little wolf is so adorable and the scenery magnificent. I'd like to watch the whole movie! And the dog with basketball -- I think there are some NBL players who can't do as well! LOL
Mary -- the cows were so happy to see and feel that grass and who can't smile watching that? It is wonderful to see cows being treated so well and you can tell they feel GOOD! Thanks for video. It's comforting to watch and I wish all dairy farmers were as good.
This is a great thread to look back on. Thanks sisters and brothers!
Aaaaaaawwwwwww - Marshmellow is the cutest cuddliest little kitty! She looks just like her mommy and is one soft little bundle of joy! Thanks Lynn.
WARNING! This is a nail-biting, extremely graphic filming of the birth of an elephant. If you can't stand the sight of blood, please don't watch it. I've never seen anything like it before.
Cheryl, that was awesome. I've seen elephant births on tv before, but nothing as exciting as this one. The mother became frantic for her baby to breathe it's first breath....even slapping it's head to the ground. I cried when he/she took the first steps. Thanks so much for posting this extraordinary video.
Lynn Marshmellow is adorable!!!
Thank you.
what a amazing video Cheryl its such a privelige to witness the baby elephants first step thanks sis
The French Cat
henri is so cool heres another cool cat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cE0RDoMPNA&feature=colike
Will look at your video in a minute, Mary dear. First, you all have to see this.... Giant George, the world's largest dog. OMG!!
Mary, I just looked at your cat video. That's so adorable..and so smart of the cat to show what he wants! Just precious. Thanks for posting it.
So happy you liked the elephant birth video Lynn and Mary. I cried too! The mother knew something was wrong and did what elephant moms do when their baby isn't moving even though it looks kinda rough. I believe that little one would have died if she had just stood there or walked away. When baby walked, my face was all wet! Ain't Nature amazing?!
I really enjoyed the cat videos. Henri is a hoot. The person that did the video really knows cats. And that little guy with the man is almost human. hahahahahaha
Lynn, I am sad that I can't see Giant George. It says "This video is not available in your location." I've had that happen before and I don't understand why.
Great stuff on this thread everyone! It's fun to look back on them all again!
Cheryl, I found the YouTube about Giant George. I think you'll be able to see it now.
GREAT Scott... that's some GREAT Dane!!! I love the way he puts his big butt on the couch and sits there just like people!
I think I'd go broke feeding this gentle giant. He is really adorable and it's wonderful he has such a super family. Thanks a lot, Lynn. I really enjoyed meeting George!
wow hes a big fella he makes the other great dane look small
beautiful wolf trapped in icehttp://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=K_zQw&m=3WUsDs4RMjU9DTZ&b=YibU9zq1jt7GlYE_9X9PIg
Mary, that's a beautiful video. I wish I understood Italian so I could understand more, but God bless those people who worked so hard to bring this gorgeous animal back to life. Thanks for posting the video, sis.
Aaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwww (I am copying Barb). That was incredible Mary!! He was too exhausted and sick to fight, and I think he knew that all the humans around him were trying to help. He was literally brought back from the dead.
WE NEED TO SEE THESE STORIES BECAUSE THEY SHOW US WHAT HUMANITY IS CAPABLE OF! When we see good humans in action it helps erase pictures we see all the time of the actions of bad humans. Thanks so much Mary.
It's far from Christmas, but here are some cute animals singing "Deck the Halls", for your enjoyment.
Awwwwwww, these are so darn good!!! The voices are just perfect for each animal. Thanks so much, Lynn. That felt real good!
I'm so glad you liked the videos, Cheryl. As the saying goes "Laughter is the best medicine!"
This isn't a video but the story of two entirely different animal species who have bonded in friendship. Quite beautiful to see. Busch Gardens Tampa is celebrating an anniversary for a very special relationship. April 16 marked the one-year anniversary of the first time park guests got to see an 8-week-old male cheetah cub and a 16-week-old female yellow labrador puppy start to strike up a friendship that the park's animal experts expect to last a lifetime. The pair — later named Kasi and Mtani — spent only supervised play times together at first. The cheetah first came to the park after its mother ceased caring for him. The 8-week-old male cheetah cub and 16-week-old female yellow labrador puppy bonded instantly. Now, a year later, they live together full time at the park's Cheetah Run habitat and even travel together to schools, events and television studios, helping the park's education team teach the public about the plight of cheetahs in the wild and the importance of Busch Gardens' conservation efforts.

The gorilla in the video is the famous Koko, who knows American Sign Language and has a huge vocabulary. I've been watching her progress for years. At one time, she had a kitten with no tail. Koko signed that she's naming the kitten "All Ball" (no tail, so she figured out that the kitten was like a ball). Anyway, All Ball ran out and was hit by a car. When the couple who teaches and handles Koko told her that All Ball had died, Koko cried and mourned the kitty for days. Koko is an amazing animal. Here's the video about it.
Recently, Koko adopted another kitten. Here's the video.

Lynn thank you for all of the fun videos of Christmas, elephant swimming, Koko and kitten, Giant dog! Mary is the wolf trapped on the ice a sad video? Thank you my dear sisters!
Koko is really somrthing kind and clever Barb the wolf vid is not sad he is rescued
take a look through animals eyes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-KK_wBhT2g&feature=colike
WOW... what a lotta great stuff!! Awww, the cheetah and lab are gorgeous together (forever pals, I hope), and the swimming elephants are a hoot -- I can't swim that good! But KOKO won over my heart big time, as she always will. I cried when she was told about her kitty dying. I hope they had someone stay close to her night and day. To be left alone at such a time would be cruel to .... and I'm going to say it.... "someone" like KOKO, for she truly is a 'someone'. I love that she has a new kitty to love and be loved by. Oh my, I am so emotional where KOKO is concerned!
Thanks so much Lynn and Mary. I also love the "take a look through animals eyes" because if certain people would even just give it a try they may change their mind about killing them or taking their habitat.
What a lot of enjoyment here!
I wonder if these quads came from the same mom. They all look the same age. Boy, WHAT AFFECTION!
You're welcome Mary! They sure love that fellow. When I was young I think I would have fallen in love with him too! LOL
Awww, Lynn, as you go along watching the video you just get more and more antsy to pick them up and cuddle and play with them. Did you know that watching something like that actually lowers one's blood pressure? Mine should be nice and normal right now. Thanks for the beautiful moments!
I took a screenshot of KOKO from that amazing video of and about her. This is just after she reached into the cage and chose a kitty for her own. Oh I love that gorilla... "person" is what I want to say.
So cute! A Husky mommy and baby
Aaaaaawwwww... such a good mommy! She's not just encouraging pup to play... she loves it! So very nice to see these playful two and they are in a good home or they wouldn't be as healthy and playful as they are. Thanks, Lynn.

I think that this is not fare. I've made several orders and i couldn't make this order. If i'm one of those ho is part of sparkfun because i make my orders here and not in other shop, this free day should be made other way. I'm sure that many of the people who made the order on the free day din't know sparkfun before or had never done an order here.
I'm very dissapointed.

Southeast Alaska's largest tribal organization is pushing for changes in sea-otter management.
Tlingit-Haida Central Council delegates passed an otter resolution at their tribal assembly last week in Juneau.
Sea otter numbers are growing exponentially in Southeast. Council President Ed Thomas says that's damaging stocks of some key species.
"They seem to be raising havoc around many of our communities. And not just subsistence, but also the divers who go after sea cucumbers and sea urchins," he says.
Alaska Natives are allowed to hunt otters and give or sell them to other Natives. Proposed legislation would allow whole pelts to be sold to non-Natives.
Thomas says the council wants to do more to slow population growth. But its concerned expanded sales could compete with otter products in the handicraft market.
"We don't want to export anything that will undermine the local utilization. But where there is a potential for surplus we would like to still get some of those exported in the raw and to set up a system whereby they would be able to bring those back, competing with local artisans," Thomas says.
He says the council is already trying to work with federal officials on otter management issues.
Council delegates also elected officers at the assembly.
Thomas outpolled former Sealaska CEO Bob Loescher to retain the president's seat, which he's held for most of the past 30 years. Loescher was named Citizen of the Year.
Six incumbent vice presidents were also re-elected. Thomas says it's the first time the full Executive Council has gone unchanged.
Funding prospects are always a major topic at the tribal assembly. Thomas says they're not looking good.
"It's really very difficult to get into a growth scenario when we have cutbacks. I think there might be some opportunity in energy programs. But, boy, everything else is under fire," he says.
Thomas expects federal-funding reductions that could lead to staff and program cuts. He says that would start with administrative spending, but likely move into other areas.
Other news from the tribal assembly:
- Delegates also approved a resolution strongly opposing the exclusion of Alaska Native tribes from the Violence Against Women Act. The federal act is currently going through a re-authorization. The council says the current version of the VAWA (H.R.4154, H.R.4271 and S.1925) discriminates by singling out all Alaska Native tribes with the exception of the Metlakatla Indian Community, and removes the pre-existing authority of Alaska Native tribes to issue civil protective orders.
- Delegates re-elected 1st Vice President William Micklin of San Francisco, 2nd Vice President Robert Sanderson Jr. of Ketchikan, 3rd Vice President Yodean Armour of Klawock, 4th Vice President Richard Peterson of Kasaan, 5th Vice President Harold Houston of Juneau, and 6th Vice President Lowell Halverson of Seattle.
- Ed Thomas presented Mary Elizabeth Jones with the President's Lifetime Achievement Award for her many contributions towards improving healthcare services for Tlingit and Haida people and strengthening Alaska Native women's political positions within their communities.
- The Doloresa Cadiente-Hardin Tribal Justice Award was presented to its first two recipients: Tribal Child Support Unit Attorney Jessie Archibald and Alaska Legal Services Corporation Attorney Holly Handler.

Quote: However, even the Japanese say that in Japan they feel like they have to put on a mask all the time. They are not open about issues, outsiders don't ask and are openly polite, but as soon as suspicion arises people talk behind each other's backs and it's like that person is marked. They imagine things about what could be going on and thus rumors go crazy - not very "polite" to talk behind someone's back.

Hello All,
I've had my new Kia Soul 4u Automatic for a week now, and I'm put 1000 kms on it. Overall, I love the car but the gas mileage is so far not as advertised. I was told by the dealership that it takes sometime to work itself in, but I was wondering what everyone was getting on a tank. I've filled up 2 times now and I drive mostly highways. First tank it got 340 some kms and the second tank I got 320 kms. Both are far off the 43 miles per gallon they advertised. Anyone else get better or worse mileage?

Travel + Leisure's Unexpected France
Nancy Novogrod (Introduction)
DK Publishing
January 2008, 192 pages, $24.95
Sandwiched between commentaries by two former Vogue editors on the fashion inspiration to be found in Paris and Versailles, and a final article on tracing the footsteps of fashion icon Coco Chanel through the capital city is a mesmerizing journey of largely lesser-known parts of France. This beautiful book is comprised of selected articles from Travel + Leisure magazine, and includes helpful itinerary planners in the way of maps and tips on what to see, plus where to eat and stay. For the more adventurous, it is a taking off point; after perusing descriptions of the myriad spectacular villages in the southern Aveyron region, I just want to jump on a plane, rent a car, and wander twisting stone passageways in hillside settlements or dream among ruined monasteries.
The armchair travelers among us can all find something to love in the mouth-watering descriptions of cuisine in various regions, and the photography is wonderful, ranging from close up shots of sumptuous four course meals (as well as rustic country bread) to glamorous chateaux atop misty riverbanks. The range of the collection is excellent, from describing the faded glory of the Ritz to the currently popular roulottes, gypsy wagons where one can spend a cosy evening surrounded by colorful decorations and simple cooking. There are also handy tips on renting a small French cottage and living like a native for a week or two, booking such an economical dream vacation being possible via Internet.
Just when my eyes started to glaze over from the unending glory of descriptions of the French countryside and phenomenal food, an unusual section toward the back of the book details the craftsmanship of 20th century artists in restoring the stained glass windows of churches nationwide. There is an entire guide to contemporary stained glass, laying out a navigable tour of highlights. Widespread desire to restore sacred spaces damaged by WWII has led to some amazing artistic efforts.
Whether you prefer architecture, dining out, museums, or attempting to live as a Frenchman for a week, this volume provides unexpected inspiration for dreams of future travel.

By Chris Harris
All Aidy Boothroyd wants for Christmas is a fit and in-form striker - but he'll have to wait until the January sales before he can address the problem which has blighted Watford's return to the Premiership.
A tally of 11 goals in 17 top-flight matches tells its own story. Watford have ruffled a fair few feathers in the top flight - particularly on home soil - but they patently lack the potency to turn performances into points. Expect Boothroyd to be busy when the transfer window opens next week.
As Watford prepare to welcome Arsenal to Vicarage Road, we spoke to Kevin Affleck of the Watford Observer about the Hornets' problems in attack, the impressive Ashley Young, how they can avoid relegation and the aerial onslaught the Gunners can expect on Boxing Day.
"Watford's lack of strikers and lack of goals has been a chronic problem all season. They have performed really well with the exception of the Arsenal and Chelsea away games and Sheffield United at home, they have competed at this level but they haven't got the cutting edge to turn those performances into points. A lot of fans thought that Watford were a striker short in the summer and the injury to Marlon King means they now need a couple of strikers. At the moment Darius Henderson is leading the line and he hasn't found the net all season. Ashley Young is alongside him but he's normally a midfielder and he's having to play out of position."
"Ashley Young has been in the England Under-21 team. He is very, very quick, deceptively strong and a very clever player. His delivery from set pieces is exceptional - that is Watford's main threat - and he is the one player in the squad with genuine quality. Ben Foster [the on-loan goalkeeper from Manchester United] has also been outstanding. He is tipped to push Paul Robinson really close and is due back for the Arsenal game. It will be interesting to see how his situation will pan out because Van der Sar has signed a new deal with United and they have Kuszcak on a three-year deal."
"Aidy Boothroyd may have some money left over from the summer and the board might give him a bit more for the January transfer window. The manager has said he needs five players, three of them in forward positions and ideally a central midfielder too. Watford have been linked with Freddie Eastwood and Collins John among others but as you'd expect Bothroyd is not going to show his hand."
"If they can perform like they did at the start of the season and add goals to those performances then there is an outside chance that Watford can survive. Teams don't like playing them, they are a tough nut to crack particularly at Vicarage Road. "
"Watford have created chances but Henderson has missed a couple of sitters - at Charlton and against Manchester United - which would have given him much-needed confidence. It was probably easier to score those chances but he's not the only guilty party in front of goal. Watford's defensive record is actually quite good - they have kept five clean sheets which is good for a team at the bottom of the table - and that really serves to highlights the problems at the other end of the pitch."
"Bothroyd will have them fired up for the Arsenal game and I expect them to come out with all guns blazing. Arsenal's defence can expect an aerial bombardment and it will be a testing evening for their centre halves. Watford's own defence played too high a line at Emirates Stadium and Arsenal were devastating on the break. Now Thierry Henry is injured it might be easier for Watford."

In general, government agencies and regulators have unbridled powers that allow them to shut...
HDFC AMC assistant vice-president (equity) Nilesh Kapadia has been charged with front-running of the orders of HDFC MF, which means that he tipped off his friends before the execution of the firm's orders, resulting in gains for his acquaintances and reduced realisations for unit-holders of HDFC MF products
Barring an HDFC Asset Management Company (AMC) senior employee and three others from the securities market for irregularities in trading, market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Thursday directed the company and its personnel to jointly deposit Rs2.38 crore to the trustees of HDFC Mutual Fund (MF).
SEBI in its order barred HDFC AMC assistant vice-president (equity) Nilesh Kapadia for helping his acquaintance and two others to gain from HDFC MF products at the cost of unit-holders. The other three persons barred are his beneficiaries.
SEBI also asked the mutual fund arm of housing major HDFC to submit a report on overhauling its internal control and preventive systems within a month.
"HDFC AMC shall not utilise the services of Nilesh Kapadia for trading activities done on behalf of HDFC AMC and shall institute an internal inquiry to be conducted by trustees of HDFC MF in the matter," SEBI said in the order.
Mr Kapadia has been charged with front-running of the orders of HDFC MF, which means that he tipped of his friends before the execution of the firms' orders, resulting in the gains for his acquaintances and reduced realisations for unit-holders of HDFC MF products.
HDFC AMC officials could not be contacted for comments.
The market regulator also asked the trustee of HDFC MF to constitute an investigation committee to examine if Mr Kapadia indulged in similar front-running activities on other occasions.
"The committee shall submit the final report to SEBI within six months of this order, explaining any such instances," the order said.
SEBI estimated the losses at Rs2.38 crore for HDFC MF schemes and its clients due to front-running of orders asking Mr Kapadia and HDFC AMC to deposit the same to trustees of HDFC MF.
The investigations by SEBI found 38 instances of front-running of the orders spread across Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) between April and July, 2007.
The preliminary findings of the investigation revealed that Mr Kapadia was tipping off and advising one Rajiv Ramniklal Sanghvi to trade ahead of the orders of HDFC AMC, helping him to make substantial gains in the process.
SEBI found that Mr Kapadia and Mr Sanghvi were college-mates and have known each other for a long time, even though they claimed in their statements to the market regulator that they did not know each other.
Tips passed on to Mr Sanghvi by Mr Kapadia have also been executed in the account of one Chandrakant P Mehta and Dipti Paras Mehta.
These three-Mr Sanghvi, Chandrakant P Mehta and Paras Mehta-were banned by SEBI from trading in securities till further orders.
SEBI said the interest of numerous unit holders of HDFC MF and portfolio management clients of HDFC AMC have been compromised due to such front-running orchestrated by none other than the dealer of HDFC AMC.
The market regulator said that Mr Kapadia and other entities involved can file their objections to the order within 15 days.
"Don't get carried away by these numbers because the base (in the comparable period last year) was low," commerce secretary Rahul Khullar said
Growth in India's exports remained robust, as overseas shipments expanded by 35.1% to $16.1 billion in May on the back of improving demand in western markets, reports PTI.
Exports grew for the seventh month in a row since November 2009, after a 13-month trough due to recession in several markets.
However, commerce secretary Rahul Khullar said it is too early for celebrations.
"Don't get carried away by these numbers because the base (in the comparable period last year) was low," he told reporters in New Delhi today. The growth in May took place on a rock bottom performance a year ago.
Imports, too, grew by 30.8% to $27.4 billion year-on-year.
During April-May 2010, exports stood at $33 billion, a jump of 35.7% over the year ago period.
During the first two months of the current fiscal, imports went up by 29.1% to $54.7 billion over the year ago period, according to the commerce secretary. Trade deficit for April-May was $21.7 billion.
However, Mr Khullar added, "Yes, we are doing much better than last year."

Weight Watchers Diet Review (UPDATED): Don't Buy Before You Read This!
For more than 50 years, Weight Watchers has been a trusted approach to weight loss for men and women.Top Rated Diets of 2017
What is it?
Weight Watchers Diet is a diet plan based off a point system, where each food has a value, and you're allowed only a certain amount of points a day. You can eat any foods you want, as long as you don't pass the allowed points for the day.
The points offered are called SmartPoints, and the amount allowed is based off one one's own body and individual weight loss goals. Healthy and low calorie foods have much less value, so it naturally steers people into eating more wholesome foods instead of eating high amounts of junk food. In this review you'll hear customer reviews, the science behind Weight Watchers, and whether or not it can promote weight loss. The highest rated diet plan of 2016 was found to be the 18 Shake Diet. It's a combination of a natural metabolism booster and high protein meal replacement. Learn more about the 18Shake diet plan by following the link provided here.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
Weight Watchers Diet Ingredients and Side Effects
No pre-packaged foods are required, it's advised to cook one's own meals at home. An app and guide is offered with over 287,000 different foods which have a stated number value.
High fiber, non-processed, and sugar free foods have a much lower point number. Processed foods and highly saturated foods tend to be the highest in points. So the diet focuses on introducing more healthy foods, which is already known as a practical way to lose weight.
There are also 4,000 recipes offered as well as optional support for meetings, online coaching, and dietary tips. Mobile apps are also offered to help people calculate their total points.
There isn't much information provided by the company to showcase exactly how their approach is scientific, or how they choose specific foods to have higher points than others. The top 10 list found here offers the best diet plans that our experts have reviewed.
EDITOR'S TIP: Combine this diet with a proven meal replacement such as 18 Shake for better results.
Weight Watchers Diet Quality of Ingredients
The quality of the ingredients can vary on what's purchased, since no foods are off limits, what one purchases will determine the overall quality. The high points that processed foods have will force people to be more conservative in their food options.
No proof is provided by the makers of Weight Watchers to show why this diet has been formulated in the point system it offers.
It's clear that by eating less processed foods and focusing on quality meats, high fiber, and filling foods that naturally weight loss is possible. However, no evidence is provided as to why their coaching system would be any better than not paying for this system and simply eating healthier,
One study by the Annals of Internal Medicine found that:
"Weight Watchers participants achieved at last 2.6% greater weight loss than those assigned to control/education"
This was in a 12 month period, and there were only slight increases in weight loss in comparison to people who were allowed to diet without control.
2.6% for someone weighing 200 pounds would be 5.2 additional pounds. This means that every month, a person can expect an additional 0.43 extra pounds of weight loss more than those who dieted on their own and made their own decisions without a points system.
This is a very poor amount of weight loss considering the amount it costs to pay for the online support. A list of the very best diet plans has bene reviewed by our experts.
Another major issue with the plan was that no official information is provided to show the points system before one buys into the plan. This makes it impossible to calculate if one is even capable of keeping up with this plan. Certain foods are not preferential for people, and it might require extreme changes in dieting in some.
Even with online support, there's no guarantee that the advice offered will help one lose weight safely and effectively.
The Price and Quality of Weight Watchers Diet
There are different plans offered such as:
OnlinePlus: $4.30 per week when a 3 month long plan is offered. This amounts to $64.50 for the total 3 months.
Meetings + OnlinePlus: A 3 month plan is offered for $8.30 a week. This amounts to $124.50 for the full 3 months.
Coaching + OnlinePlus: Like the other plans, if 3 months is selected, the full price is $10.15. A full 3 months is $152.25.
These prices can vary, as it depends on what one chooses as their meals and how much support they want. No information is provided on what kind of background the people who give advice are, and whether or not they are certified diet or nutrition experts. Since they fail to mention this, it's important to be cautious of the support offered.
A $20 fee is mandatory for every first time member. Web MD discusses the pricing of this diet by stating:
"Be prepared to spend some cash to get the full benefits"
Many customers also agree it's incredibly pricy to keep the online support available. As you'll see in the "Customer Opinions of Weight Watchers Diet", many felt it wasn't worth the price.
The top 10 list featured in the link here has the best diet plans.
Business of Weight Watchers Diet
Weight Watchers International is the official company name. Their contact information is as follows:
Phone Number: (800) 651-6000
Further contact information is provided to those who subscribe to the online system. There are currently 339 negative reviews on their Consumer Affairs page. Here are some direct quotes from customers:
"thought I was signing with a reputable company… Weight Watchers continued to withdraw money from my bank account for 3 months"
"I have been requesting my account to be closed for the past 3 months"
"No one is ever there when you need them"
"Weight watchers are total thieves. I cancelled my account 3 years ago and they have billed my credit card"
Hundreds of people claim that they continue to be charged by the company even after they've cancelled the online support, and no longer logging into to their profiles.
There are also 279 complaints on their Better Business Bureau site, mostly for the same reasons. People complained often about being constantly billed even after months or even years of no longer using their accounts. Customers were frustrated since they were told their account was cancelled, only to see billing from Weight Watchers appearing on their credit card statements.
People also said that when their accounts were active, that there wasn't much support offered. To see a list of the top 10 diet plans click on the link offered here.
EDITOR'S TIP: The top 10 list of the best diets is available here.
Customer Opinions of Weight Watchers Diet
Here is what some users had to say:
"just got de-motivated as I could see this wouldn't work for me anymore"
"I tried it, but I didn't have too much luck"
"helped me at first but I failed later on"
"it did not work… felt the meetings were very one sided, and it was like a chat"
People said that the offered meetings and support weren't really helpful, and that it didn't cater to people's needs. It was more just general advice people were given such as obvious weight loss advice.
Another major issue was that people often said that they couldn't keep up with the diet, and that many common foods had too many high points where they couldn't eat comfortably.
Users had issues as well with the foods with fewer points, as its common sense what foods are allowed and which aren't. The top 10 list features the best diet plans out now, click on this link to learn more.
Conclusion - Does Weight Watchers Diet Work?
When making a decision on a diet plan like Weight Watchers, it's important to examine customer reviews, what's offered, and whether or not weight loss is likely. The plan offers a point system which is meant to make dieting easier. However, hundreds of people have complained about a lack of food options, as well as being forced to limit many common foods. There were also hundreds that complained the company continues to charge them long after they've cancelled. Both on Consumer Reports and the Better Business Bureau people mention they continue to be billed.
The 2016 diet plan of the year was found to be the 18Shake Diet. It offers a high protein, appetite suppression meal replacement alongside a metabolism booster made with natural extracts with no added stimulants. There are no artificial additives, colors, binders, fillers, or harsh ingredients. Many customers have left testimonials and review showcasing their own weight loss results. People have said that the meal replacement can help suppress appetite for hours, and that it mixes well and has a pleasant taste.
The 18Shake Diet offers a diet pill and meal replacement that are both backed by full 30 day money back guarantee. Returns are offered with no questions asked, risk free. To discover more information about the 18Shake Diet, click on the link provided here.

This totally changed my life! I have always been really heavy & now I am so confident...I even ran for PTA president!
weight watchers works if its not change things around different foods or different excersize make sure you drink all the water they suggest and alot of vegs and fruit simple it should work ask for help if it doesnt keep trying it will all work out sometimes our body is just stubborn am i lecturing
The old WW worked. The new one does not. I am one of many lifetime members who have become very disenchanted by this new program. It seems like a marketing ploy and that is all.
Hands down the most effective and proven diet program. Balances healthy eating with accountability add a little exercise and you will drop 10 pounds in no time!
I initially joined the meetings. Learned a lot from them, lost my initial 35lbs, then went over to on-line and lost about 10lbs, then I got lazy and quit the program. Now my BP is up and i'm sluggish and clothes won't fit. So, I'm going back to WW because nothing else of what I tried has worked.
I have an active family that consist of a husband and 5 children I only want to loose 30lbs, does that mean I will have to make two different meals? I have very little time because of household chores, and the constant care of my 1 yr old. I have no idea if this is right for me, oh yeah and I hold down a full time job in the military.....
I joined weight watchers again January and I have lost 30lbs. since I love the points plus I was on the old program and could not stick with was not losing much but this program I'm losing and sticking to it
Weight watchers is mostly for people who do not have home support or extreme self control. Most of the recipes you can find online. It is however a good program.
Is the online WW program for men appropriate for me? I'm a 59 y/o male, 5'10" 220#. I want to lose 40#. Here's my situation: I travel 45 weeks a year, usually home on weekends. While I'm working, I eat in my room: cereal & banana for breakfast, light lunch out (sandwich or salad), cottage cheese w/fruit, salad or fresh veggies, & Healthy Choice microwave entree. I don't exercise enough (try to walk at least once a week for an hour) and I like cookies. Is the online program appropriate for me?
I liked the old Flex Points program, which worked very well for me when I had a lot of weight to lose. But after regaining about 15 pounds in the years since I've tried repeatedly to get back on the system with little success. WW seems a lot easier to do with a lot to lose than a little - but I don't want to wait until I have 50+ pounds to lose again!
I also found the new PointsPlus system did not work at all for me. With changing the points one did not really have more points to use (as in, more calories to eat in a day) and some of the way the new points were structured is strange. Again, there seems to be a problem with the numbers for people at the "low" end of the scale (with 29 daily points) as explained in the article linked here {LINK REMOVED}
Why doesn't the Weight Watchers web site WORK?? I just signed up for Weight Watchers, and would LOVE to be able to use the Online Tools/Tracker ... but unfortunately the web site is so hideously slow that it's worthless :-( On the rare occasion that I CAN get to the Tracker tool and enter a food, it just spins and spins and spins .... and eventually I get a "timed out" message. Unless/until they upgrade their web site this is completely WORTHLESS! The online access was free with my membership, but I'd be royally peeved if I had actually paid for this!
I have lost 40 lbs in 4 1/2 months on Points Plus. This is a excellent program, not a diet but a life style chnage
If you stick to is there is no way you won't lose weight. It is nice to be able to eat whatever you want, just watch your portions.
Thanks for sharing
I have been on WW for 15 months. I have lost 105 pounds and my BF has lost 126. He has been in maintainence for 8 weeks. We attend weekly meetings and use the online services. It is a livable program that promotes a healthy lifestyle. I feel better than I have in years. I �?� WW
I have been on WW for 15 months and have lost 105 pounds. My BF has lost 126 and been in maintainence for 8 weeks. We attend weekly meetings and use online. I �?� WW!
I personally could not track all of my food all of the time. When I was tracking my food I lost about 4 lbs in 4 weeks and I was hungry all of the time and I had to completely cut out too many foods I like to eat in order to have enough points to get through the day. Each night I felt like I barely made it through the day and I dreaded trying to figure out the next day.
I didn't use activity points because if I did I wouldn't lose any weight for the week. The meetings never felt supportive and just more like being lectured to. I got to the point where I dreaded going there so I stopped and they continued to charge me despite clearly being able to tell that I had stopped going for weeks. No call, no email, nothing.
This was just a terrible experience for me.
I've lost 152 pounds with WW and kept it off. Becoming a Lifetime Member is a HUGE advantage to this program. You weigh in for FREE if you're at goal. If not, keep your butt at the meetings until you get there. This is a LIFETIME of hard work and dedication. Nothing is easy. If weight loss were easy, Oprah would have it. JUST DO IT! It is the BEST weight loss program out there.

Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2017?
It's been 50 years since Weight Watchers came on the scene and started helping people live healthier lives. Weight Watchers helps members create a foundation to introduce healthier choices and physical activity into their lives. Weight Watchers was made popular by the weekly meetings that are still a cornerstone of the program today.
Weight Watchers allows you to eat the foods you like without restriction. Simply stay within your daily range and you can still enjoy the foods you love balanced with nutritious choices like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains. Unlike many diets, Weight Watchers also encourages an active lifestyle.
It all started in a living room, where women would gather to support one another while losing weight. Then it grew, and became one of the most recognized names in weight loss. They've remained an innovative brand, taking the plan online, and creating a program specifically for men.
Weight Watchers Meetings The original Weight Watchers plan invites members to weekly meetings where they help dieters form a network of support with people sharing similar experiences. Each person checks their weight privately. Meetings are conducted by a trained Meeting Leader who motivates and offers the group support through information about nutrition and fitness.
Weight Watchers at Work The Weight Watchers At Work program wants to make your workplace healthier by offering you and your company all of the success of the Weight Watchers program right from your own office.

Most realistic program to maintain long term ... may take longer to lose the weight but it stays off! - Carmelle 8/16/11
I lost close to 40 pounds on Weight Watchers and have kept it off ever since starting almost 10 months ago. I plan to be on this program forever. I'm the healthiest I've ever been. (I'm 26 and am thinner and a smaller size than I was in high school, which I NEVER thought was possible!!) WW WORKS! I have never felt deprived, and I feel like the program is something I can live with. It's literally one of the best things I've EVER done for myself. - Marjie 7/8/11
I've been following the new Points Plus program since the beginning of the year. Today I hit the 10% weight loss goal. Only one week I did not loose weight - but I didn't gain either. Love that the fresh fruits are free so when I just want something - I now reach for fruit rather than chips or cookies. I am a 30 year lifetime member (obviously strayed at times) and find that this is the easiest weight loss for me (and I'm now 59.5 years old). HIGHLY recommend the new Points Plus. The key is still planning and journaling as far as I'm concerned. - Char 4/1/11
The old WW worked. The new one does not. I am one of many lifetime members who have become very disenchanted by this new program. - Elle 6/21/11
I highly suggest playing around with the tools. Eventually most "0 point" foods will develop a point value if you put in a high quantity...especially fruits and starchy veggies like green beans and broccoli. If you eat what the healthy check recommends, drink the water the healthy check recommends and eat your points in proteins and a small amount of carbs and fats then you should not gain weight. It's about eating in moderation. Not going crazy just because you think you can. - Shannon 3/6/11

Weight Watchers emphasizes eating more wholesome food, while allowing you to splurge on cravings in moderation. You'll make balanced food choices that include whole grains, lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, eggs and dairy. No matter which plan you choose, you'll have access to all of the Weight Watchers recipes that are delicious, satisfying and good-for-you.
Weight Watchers members can enjoy chili, muffins, brownies, burgers, pizza, pasta and so much more - especially when you follow their healthy tips for lightening the recipes.
You're encouraged to make more nutrient-dense food choices, which not only helps you lose weight but also helps keep you feeling satisfied.
The Weight Watchers website features thousands of recipes for all occasions. Weight Watchers Meetings Members can also use the A-Z food list found in the Pocket Guide, or purchase the Complete Food Companion and the Dining Out Companion to help them plan for their night out.
Whether you do the program online or attend meetings, there are several ideas for snacks and meals along with a list of power foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. The program is designed to teach you how to make smarter food choices so that you eat more filling and nutritious meals.
For example, Weight Watchers features two side by side meals that both have a points value of 11. The two meals are reflected below:
- Meal 1 – Peanut butter and jelly sandwich made on reduced-calorie white bread; chips
- Meal 2 – Black bean soup; Whole grain wheat pasta with grape tomatoes, small black olives, crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese, shredded basil leaves, olive oil and red wine vinegar; grapes
Just glancing at these two meals it would be hard to think they have the same value because meal two offers more food. Illustrations like this make it easy to see the importance of making healthier choices so that you can eat more while getting good nutrition throughout the day.EXERCISE
Weight Watchers does promote living an active lifestyle, although exercise is not a requirement of the program.
To calculate the intensity of your workout, you can use your heart beats per minute or some simple physical cues. If you choose to follow the heart beats per minute, the classifications are as follows:
- Low intensity: 68 to 92 beats per minute
- Moderate intensity: 93 to 118 beats per minute
- High intensity: more than 119 beats per minute
Using the physical cues for your activity level follows the rating of perceived exertion or RPE. This is what Weight Watchers uses. This method is easier than monitoring your heart rate while working out. The below chart can be used to help you gauge the intensity of your workout:
- Light intensity – Fairly easy exercise that does not induce sweating unless it's a hot, humid day. There is no noticeable change in breathing patterns.
- Moderate intensity – Somewhat hard exercise that will break a sweat after performing the activity for about 10 minutes. Breathing becomes deeper and more frequent. You can carry on a conversation but not sing.
- High intensity – Hard exercise that will cause you to break a sweat after three to five minutes. Breathing is deep and rapid. You can only talk in short phrases.
Keep in mind that those who are just starting to exercise, or those that have been inactive for a long period of time tend to overestimate their intensity levels. If you are just starting out it may be more accurate to gauge your intensity through your heart beats until you get an accurate understanding of actual intensity levels. With Weight Watchers you can choose to do any form of exercise that meets your needs. Some recommended forms of exercise available are:
- Yoga
- Pilates
- Walking
- Jogging
- Aerobics
- Swimming
- Hiking
- Bike riding
- Kickboxing

The two-minute "store tour": An idea worth adapting?Posted by mtrocchi on August 10, 2010
When that new customer makes his first visit to a dealership, the "store tour" could be a great way for the sales team to highlight what is offered, as well as an unusual, but comfortable way, to "break the ice."
In his book "The Retail Doctor's Guide to Growing Your Business," author Bob Phibbs suggests the "store tour" can accomplish a great deal in just two minutes. "Think of it like Disneyland," Phibbs writes. "Here's Tomorrowland, here's Fantasyland, and so on." He doesn't suggest it include a lot of details. You're after only a quick general overview.
You might start with something like: "We're delighted by your first visit – please allow me to give you our famous two-minute store tour." You could begin with a couple of facts as you walk, like when your dealership started and who started it, etc.
According to Phibbs, your "store tour" must include the following information:
1. Start at the front of the store and describe a few areas in a general way. For example: "We're in our boats showroom, which is one of the largest in this area. It features the two major brands we have sold for more than 10 years. Over there is our accessory department in which we stock more than 4,000 items. Down that corridor is our award-winning service department. In there we service more than 600 customer boats every year," and so on.
2. Phibbs suggests you could consider following a timeline. What he means is describing when you added certain products due to demand. He recommends starting with the lower priced and ending with more expensive models.
3. Always keep any description brief – one or two sentences at the most, Phipps cautions. It's logical to assume that if the customer wants to know more, he'll likely ask at the end of the brief tour.
4. It's very important to end the tour by asking the customer a question. Here's a good one: "Did a couple of items catch your interest?"
5. Keep your word – limit the tour to the suggested two minutes. After all, that's what you said at the outset.
The "store tour" doesn't mean walking the customer to every department or area. Remember: it's only two minutes. It does mean pointing out and/or describing various areas using a sentence or two with an impressive point. For example: "Located adjacent to our accessory area is our parts counter where we normally have more than 2,500 parts in stock so our customers don't have to wait."
Will it be hard to "script' a two-minute tour of your dealership? Not likely. Try jotting down some major points you could use. What you're going to see is that you must cut it down – two minutes is an easy, very short time.

My Reviews
I've never seen audiences love a show like this
I totally disagree with the previous posted who said this was fun only for kids. 4 play is filled with some of the most amazing juggling youll ever see, and some astonishing music and imagery. The show explores the relationship between music and juggling, and I just thought what they did onstage was incredible. The audience gets to bring onstage any object they want, and sure enough, one of the jugglers managed to keep a giant octopus, an oil filled jar and a hamburger in the air. Kids of any age would LOVE this, but its a little like Monty Python - once you get beyond the slapstick, theres often some pretty serious stuff going on. This show is fast, funny, and extremely witty. MUCH better than CATS!
The Flying Karamazov Brothers on Tuesday, Aug 10th, 2010
RE:A great new musical
A fantastic cast, spare sets and a thoughtful book, combined with amazing songs make this show a quick and enjoyable experience. Totally worth it.
See Rock City & Other Destinations on Tuesday, Aug 10th, 2010
I looked up... and yawned
Call me crazy, but I thought this show was interminable. Like a bad movie with a good cinematographer, there were a couple of transcendent moments, but the whole thing just felt empty and kind of dumb. If youre in your 20s and like to jump up and down, you might like this show, but for anyone with a brain, look elsewhere. My kids didnt like it, and neither did I. Its as though someone had one cool idea - yeah, lets have a transparent swimming pool above the audience, and then spent $2 million crafting a plotless framing device for that one cool idea.
Fuerza Bruta on Tuesday, Aug 10th, 2010
Surprisingly moving
Great performances, but a little bit of "So then we wrote another song... and it went something like this!" gets in the way of a sometimes surprisingly moving plot. The best of the jukebox shows.
Jersey Boys on Tuesday, Aug 10th, 2010
I am a huge fan of Stephen Schwartz. The cleverness of his lyrics is unique, and you can tell his work even without knowing he wrote the lyrics - as in "Enchanted." The archness and wit of Wickeds lyrics will creep up on you upon repeated listening, and youll marvel at the way he spins words to amuse! I love this show... Ive seen it 4x, and my daughter cant seem to get enough of it either. Even in its later years, it still feels fresh and new.

Lots to do in a compact area The gym & pool closed early and opened late. Plus, it cost $8 to use the gym if you did not purchase spa services!!
Nice oversized room. Large soaking tubs. Nice linens on comfy bed. Staff not very accommodating. Maids yelling back and forth in hallways early in the morning made sleeping in impossible.
The room was only $70 per night The room was dirty. There were used tissues from the previous guest still in the bathroom of my hotel room. The buffet was over priced and the food was very very bad!!
It was close to the concert venue No breakfast. Charged a deposit for incidentals but the room did not have anything other than a phone and TV.
Check in was quick, bell hoops were friendly as was everyone Nothing
The bed and the pillows
The hotel room was clean and comfortable which we were pleased with. We weren't impressed with the casino itself. It was small and over crowded.
The rooms were nice, spacious, and very clean. The toliet has it's on room within the bathroom. There were very few channels to enjoy out of basic and sports channels.The rooms offered room service and the higher floors boasts wonderful views of nearby attractions and shops. Despite by online reservation, I was quickly hit with an extra hundred for incendital. The hotel though connected to casino can not access a shared database to give new comers info on gambling. When someone new signs up for a players card at casino they get no initial credits but must pay a game to get points that can only be redeemed after the customer goes broke gambling. Also the food is very high compared to restaurants in a stone's throw.
The room was very clean and the staff was polite. Check in time was later than 2.
Enjoyed our stay!! Nice hotel
Location is fabulous. Java, the little deli downstairs, is a hidden gem. A less than 5 minute walk to Eldorado next door. View was great as well. My room was dirty. A/c wasn't working properly. Bathtub didn't drain. Water from shower all over the floor. Toilet was constantly running due to a leaky flapper. Not good for $182!
Great staff Needs to be up dated.
everything n/a
Overall nice place, room was laid out nice, with plenty of room. Bed was comfortable.
Clean riverview room! Super comfy beds. Short walk to Blind Tiger restaurant (must go!) Casino was generous! (Results may vary. LoL) Staff was nice and helpful. Overall GREAT! No pharmacy nearby. Would have bought hypoallergenic soap and other toiletries from gift shop if they had it. My fault for having sensitive skin.
We had an amazing time. The hotel was perfect in every way. The pool was outstanding. All staff were wonderful. Can't wait to come back.
The shower curtain rod kept falling when I was in the shower and hit me several times on the head. The faucets need some tlc in regards to cleaning.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Miami Hurricanes senior right guard Brandon Linder was named ACC Co-Offensive Lineman of the Week by the league office Tuesday. Linder shared the honor with Clemson sophomore center Ryan Norton.
It's Linder's second ACC weekly honor. The Southwest Ranches, Fla., native was named ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week on Nov. 15, 2010, as a freshman.
Linder is the first Miami Hurricane offensive lineman to earn an ACC weekly honor since Nov. 7, 2011, when center Tyler Horn was named Co-Offensive Lineman of the Week.
A Preseason All-ACC Selection, he anchored Miami's offensive line that paved the way for 303 yards rushing (on 8.0 yards per carry) and three rushing touchdowns in the Hurricanes' 34-6 win over Florida Atlantic. Linder led an offensive line that produced 503 yards of total offense – Miami's third consecutive game with 500+ yards of total offense dating back to the 2012 season. He graded out at 94 percent with five cut blocks, three pancakes and no sacks allowed.
Miami (1-0), who is ranked No. 24 in this week's USA TODAY Coaches Top 25, hosts in-state rival Florida (No. 12 AP / No. 9 USA TODAY) at noon ET Saturday on ESPN. Miami and Florida are meeting for the first time since 2008 and the first time on the Canes' home field since 2003, with UM holding a 28-26 all-time series lead.
A small amount of season tickets for the 2013 season are still on sale now at www.CanesTix.com. No single-game tickets are available at this time for the Gators & Canes.

Oil poised for a fall, say analysts
New York
Page Tools
Crude oil prices will probably fall next week as rising production from the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries helps boost inventories, which are at a two-and-a-half-year high in the US.
Twenty of 43 analysts and strategists polled by Bloomberg predicted oil prices would fall in the next several days. Twelve said they would rise and 11 forecast little change. Nineteen of the last 26 weekly surveys correctly predicted the market's direction.
"Crude oil prices should continue to decline as a result of ever-rising inventories," said John Kilduff, senior vice-president of energy risk management with Fimat USA in New York.
US stockpiles gained 4.1 million barrels to 309.3 million a week ago, said an Energy Department report on March 23 that triggered the biggest one-day decline in oil prices this year. But it was the sixth straight weekly increase in supplies, at their highest since July 2002.
The spot price of benchmark West Texas crude rose $US2.33 to $US51.29 a barrel in New York trading in a holiday-shortened week.
OPEC decided at a meeting in Isfahan, Iran, last week to immediately raise its production ceiling by 500,000 barrels a day to 27.5 million barrels. OPEC ministers, including Saudi Arabia's Ali al-Naimi, said they would consider adding another 500,000 barrels a day in coming weeks if prices stayed high.
"OPEC is to raise output in the second quarter while demand should decline in line with seasonal patterns, leading to a 3 million barrels a day oversupply in the market," said Dariusz Kowalczyk, senior investment strategist at CFC Securities in Hong Kong.
Oil prices hit an all-time high of $US57.60 a barrel on March 17, the day after the OPEC meeting, which stirred concern that demand would rise faster than the producers could increase output. Mr al-Naimi said demand might outstrip supply towards the end of this year. Crude oil and fuel needs are usually highest in the fourth quarter.
Since then, crude oil in New York has fallen almost $US3 from the record amid signs that economic growth may slow and restrain fuel consumption. The US central bank raised a key interest rate on March 22 for the seventh time since June and signalled concern about inflation. Poll respondents calling for an increase in prices said that petrol inventories would be inadequate.
Petrol futures surged to a record and crude oil rose on Thursday on speculation that an explosion at BP's Texas City refinery, source of 3 per cent of US fuel output, will limit the availability of petrol when demand rises.
US petrol demand peaks between Memorial Day, in late May, and the Labour Day holiday in early September. About 10 per cent of the world's crude oil is used to make petrol for US motorists.
Petrol supplies fell 4.1 million barrels to 217.3 million last week, according to the Energy Department. It was the biggest weekly decline since August 22, 2003.

rookie sbc head question
I've got a question about a set of SBC heads. The casting number on the heads I have are 3973487. From doing a search on www.mortec.com I found this..
3973487....71-72....350...used on 71-72 350 LT1, 75cc chamber
my question is does the LT1 mean these came on a performance engine (corvette)?
does anyone know what size the valves are or how can I find out?
Maybe I got lucky and got some good ones.
it just means those cast # heads were used on the lt1. they should have 1.94-1.5 valves. just a plain basic head like 624's, 993's, & 882's. do they have screw in studs?
SBC Heads
I thought I recognized those head numbers. I have the 3973487X heads that are 2.02's. Lingenfelter book says that my 487X heads are great flowing. Check out this site for the break down on some of the different head configurations for performance small block chevy heads.
Small Block Chevy Heads
This is what is says about your heads.
"487" 3973487, OR 3973487X. The regular casting was found on the 1971-1972 350 LT-1 engines, had 1.94/1.50" valves, 76CC combustion chambers, DO have accessory holes, intake port volume should be 161CC's, exhaust port volume should be 65CC's. The 487X had 2.02/1.60" valves.
The 487s are good heavy castings and decent breathers for their age, although they have the larger chambers. I'd definitely keep them.
406 monte: I wouldn't put 624s in the same class as 487s. 624s are even worse than 882s.
thanks for the input guys. I've been spending lots of time the the garage lately. I've got the bug real bad right now. I love summer.
i too have the 3973487x number. i believe that it comes from a 70-72 camaro. the 70 is pushing 360 hp, 71 is 300hp and the 72 is only 255hp.
i have 1 487x, and 1, just 487, they should run alright together, shouldn't they????
The X heads are good ones.
Unless your wanting every horse outta your motor, use em. HG
i have a set of 487x heads on my 355 and they did not have 202/160 valves.they do not have screw in studs.i left the valves,no port work or gasket match and installed 3/8 studs and flat tops and 268xe cam.motor made 297 hp at rear wheel with 3.42 gears.ran a best of 13.45 at 109 in quarter.good heads should get 400hp with bigger cam and some port work. :D

When administered simultaneously, interferon-alpha 2b + interferon-gamma result in dramatic antiviral synergy.Ribavirin has shown to enhance interferon-gamma levels in patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with interferon-alpha. Enhancement of immune responses, especially those related to type-1 T helper cell activity, may contribute to better efficacy in combining ribavirin with IFN-alpha for treatment of chronic hepatitis C. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a triple regimen, a combination treatment with Interferon gamma, Interferon alfa-2b plus Ribavirin in patients who have not previously responded to interferon alpha in combination of ribavirin.
