Korn "The Path of Totality" Album Review — 5 out of 5 stars

The Path of Totality is another modern classic from the kings of pushing the envelope—Korn. [Buy the album here!]
In many ways, record number ten is the band's most revolutionary yet. No one has ever integrated electronic music into rock 'n' roll quite like Korn has. Of course, Nine Inch Nails and Ministry gave birth to industrial rock, but the genre has never been as danceably deadly as it is on The Path of Totality.
Korn have effectively brought the rave world into the moshpit, but they've done it with poetry, panache, and a whole lot of power. That's the most mind-bending aspect of The Path of Totality. These four individuals—Jonathan Davis, James "Munky" Shaffer, Reggie "Fieldy" Arvizu, and Ray Luzier—aren't adopting a sound. They're creating one entirely, and it's as corrosive and catchy as any of their best work.
Alongside Skrillex, Korn kick everything off with "Chaos Lives In Everything". A giant swell envelopes danceable beats as Shaffer's unmistakable riffing punctuates moments of psychotic vocal violence from Davis.
In fact, the singer and guitarist intertwine seamlessly, especially once a massive hook and staggering distortion descend during the hook. Think of them as a 21st century Robert Plant and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, and you're halfway there. Davis remains utterly demonic during the track's whispered break; the "chaos" subsides as he exclaims, "sometimes I worry, sometimes I'm sorry, sometimes just want to kiss that frown" before a death metal growl roars with Skrillex's trademark wobbles.
Shaffer's topsy-turvy axe-work drives "Kill Mercy Within" as NOISIA adds an airy darkness. Davis delivers one of the album's most massive refrains and it's clear that a new dawn for metal and electronic music has commenced. The drilling dubstep of Excision filters through Fieldy's funked-out bass during "My Wall", which showcases another echo of the damned from the depths of Davis's soul. "Burn the Obedient" cackles with another extreme groove predicated on some of the heaviest hypnosis the singer has ever exorcised. He exposes secret cults on "Illuminati" with a little assistance from Excision and Downlink, while bitch-slapping self-serving assholes on "Narcissistic Cannibal" to the tune of more Skrillex and Kill the Noise madness. "Sanctuary" is a brilliant gothic masterpiece that should be licensed immediately for every forthcoming Underworld and Resident Evil film.
During "Let's Go", a thrash chug devolves into more dubstep wizardry. The band treads the spaciest places they've ever been during the expansive, evolutionary, and entrancing epic, "Way Too Far". Davis makes way for another Satanic yowl amongst his clearest crooning. 12th planet orbits around it all flawlessly.
There's no clearer proof of Korn's genius than "Bleeding Out" featuring Feed Me. It's a piano-driven masterpiece steeped in blood and Davis's most revealing and raw lyrics ever. The bagpipes scream during the bridge as screw gun sounds careen, opening the gates of hell for the singer once more.
This is Korn at their best. It's a landmark for heavy music. It's The Path of Totality.
—Rick Florino

CD Projekt RED - Interview @ VG247
Konrad Tomaszkiewicz from CDPR talks to VG247 about a wide range of general topics, from their view on DLC to digital distribution to a brief mention of cyberpunk:
VG247: CD Projekt Red recently suggested that DLC should be free. What is your view of on-disc DLC that is there from day one and overpriced content? How would you see the method of DLC delivery handled – theoretically – if you had total power over it?
Not recently. We've always believed in free DLCs. The thing is that we consider DLCs as a normal post sale service, which shouldn't be priced. Back when retail games were dominant, we had expansion packs. These were really large chunks of content, which were worth their price. If today's DLCs offered the same amount of content, they would be worth paying for, but in most cases players think they are overcharged for what they receive. That's why we offer expansions to our game for free. This is also a way of saying "thank you" to the people who decided to buy our game instead of copying it from an unauthorised source.

SP95 - E10 . The new petrol in France .
May 26, 2009, 15:23:42 PM »
Up to now those of you who buy petrol in France have been buying either SP 95 grade or the SP 98 , higher octane .( Unleaded )
Well as you probably know there is now this new petrol called SP95 - E10 which is a mix of 90% SP95 petrol and 10% éthanol . ( Ethanol is an Agricultural product ).
This new petrol was authorised for use in France from the 1st of April this year so perhaps you have already seen it in some Petrol Stations .
Apparantly , from what I understand , the present SP 95 will still be available for some time yet but will eventually be replaced by the E10 .
Now this is important .
This E10 should not be used in all petrol engined cars .
The reason being is that this liquid can damage certain things like petrol hoses etc which would be dangerous . ;
Consequently it is said that 40% of cars on the road at the present time will not be able to use the E10 .
That concerns cars produced before the year 2000 apparantly .
If you think about filling up with this new petrol and are in doubt I would ask your local dealer first .
Incidently Germany has refused to sell the SP95 - E10 due to its corrosive risks

Sorry not to have picked up on this Glenman, but you're right.
Can I add a particular warning to anyone contemplating using this fuel in a car fitted with a turbocharged engine. This applies just as much to the most modern cars as to those built pre-2000. These bio-fuel mixes are not fully compatible with turbocharger technology, where small engines are whizzed up to generate more horsepower. As was the case when the change-over first came about from leaded to unleaded, the more highly-tuned engines are the most likely to suffer from what are, to all intents and purposes, lower-grade fuels. This is nothing to do with fuel hoses or deteriorating seals.

Thanks Glenman , I didn't know about this at all
I moved up to 98 following the articles by "Honest John" in the telegraph . My Hyundai 2004 may be immune , but as yiu say "Why take the chance" the odd tank in emergency wont kill the car , but I do get enhanched perfomance and better mileage usung 98.

I was talking to a Citröen agent friend in the U.K. a couple of years back when I was having a load of trouble with our C8 and he was telling me about a car they had in with a completely knacked engine due to the wonder eco fuel! They had stripped the engine during the week and had to wait for a part. The head was off. It stodd that way for several days, including the weekend, and when they went to fit the part the pistons and bore were covered in a green mould! This came from the 'wonder fuel'. They were giving warnings to people about using it then so why have the producers not taken heed or is it cash deafness and they can't hear any complaints above the sound of the cash registers?
I have driven diesels for a long time now and I ain't going back and I will stick to diesel without any pony poo in it thank you very much!
You have personal experience of this rubbish Thumps don't you. With your racing machines. I'll be willing to put money down that the clowns who made the decision to use it won't be compensating the teams for the damage they caused?

Just as a follow-up to this, a bit of additional explanation that might be useful in explaining the risks associated with using E10 Bio-ethanol fuels.
E10 fuel includes a 10% (hence E10, as opposed to the higher-percentage alternatives, such as E15 through to E85 that also exist) blend of Ethanol Alcohol. This is a so-called "bio-fuel", manufactured from plant extracts etc, and is supposed to be the "green fuel" of the future.
As we already know, however, the appeal of growing crops for the production of bio-fuels is a mixed blessing. Yes, it offers an alternative source of oil, and releases the stranglehold that the OPEC nations have on the rest of the world, but it simultaneously encourages farmers to move away from food-based crop production into wholesale planting of inedible crops for bio-fuel manufacture. We have already seen the effect of this on countries where vast tracts of forest have been decimated in order for the land to be set aside for the growing of bio-fuel crops. Food shortages could (and some say, already are) occurring as a result.
So we have a fuel that is supposed to be "green"? No, we don't.
Biofuels such as E10 have a couple of significant disadvantages. On the one hand, they are less efficient, and vehicles using them will typically consume 3% more fuel than those using conventional fuels. That's also 3% more of the 90% conventional fuel content that the 10% ethanol is originally mixed with, which just about brings you back up to where you started. Hardly worth the effort, especially as E10 fuels are usually more expensive than normal fuels.
Secondly, the volume and nature of polluting gasses and chemical compounds released into the atmosphere by engines running E10 formulations is actually higher and more noxious than that emitted by the same engine using conventional fuel. This fact is further exacerbated by the fact that the ethanol content of the fuel also has a deleterious effect on the effectiveness (over time) of the engine's own monitoring system (if it is fitted with devices such as in-line oxygen sensors) and also elements within a catalytic converter, if part of the exhaust system.
However, these issues are not the concerns to which Glenman's original post refers. Because Ethanol is an Alcohol, it has different properties to conventional fuel mixtures, and some of these are not beneficial to the internal working of the engine. Firstly, ethanol has the ability to attract and absorb water. If your vehicle (or, most especially, boat, lawnmower, or other petrol driven device) is stored for any length of time in a damp environment, moisture will be absorbed into the fuel. This not only leads to a dilution of the fuel and a reduction in its effectiveness, but it can also lead to phase separation, water contamination and ultimately, the rusting of internal components.
In vehicles used regularly, this will be of minor concern, but for boat owners and gardeners, this is an important factor. The bottom line is, E10 fuels should never, ever, be used in boats, and only as a last resort in smaller petrol-driven devices, such as strimmers, chainsaws and the like. In the case of the latter, E10 fuels will also result in uneven running and the possibility of repeated stalling.
Furthermore, ethanol is regularly used as a solvent and cleansing product. It's great stuff. It dissolves lots of messy residues and can be used to remove ingrained dirt, grease and grime from all sorts of surfaces. Sorry, did I say grease? Yes, ethanol is a great de-greasing agent, so what are we doing putting it anywhere near cars? Useful on the outside of the engine perhaps, provided you rinse it off afterwards, but inside?
Ethanol also causes leeching in many plastics and rubbers, resulting in these materials drying out and becoming brittle. Many cars, particularly older cars, use o-rings, seals and hoses made from just these kinds of materials, and E10 fuels will, in a remarkably short time, lead to these components becoming unstable and prone to fracture and cracking. Hoses need to be flexible to absorb the vibrations of the engine, and they bridge gaps between rigid aluminium or kunifer-based fuel pipes that link the tank to the delivery system. If they become hardened and brittle, they will eventually break, and this can lead to fuel leaks and, potentially, a serious fire hazard.
Not only that (and this list goes on!), but as a cleansing agent with corrosive properties, E10 fuels will also lead to the release of small particles of rust, dirt and sediment from within older-style steel fuel tanks (where rusting will be accelerated by Ethanol's water-retaining tendencies) potentially leading to the clogging up of fuel filters and eventual fuel starvation at injectors and carburettors.
So, all in all, E10 fuels are a very mixed blessing. There is plenty of information on the Internet now that goes into this problem in great detail, including this useful (if somewhat scientific) article:
If in doubt, don't use the stuff. Most manufacturer's websites now include a list of their vehicles that can use E10 fuels, and those that can't, so check through Google. Generally speaking, however, cars built in the last five years or so should be OK, but also be aware that if your car uses a turbo, you may have additional long-term issues to consider!

Keep your eyes open when at the pump .
Nearly got caught out this week . Saw the " 95 " and didn't at first realise that there was the " E 10 "marked after it ..
In fact there wasn't one pump in the station that had the SP 95 so I filled up with SP 98 .

She looked shyly up at the lighted wire-blinds over the ironmongery.
I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade.
So does the ironmongery —candle-boxes, and gridirons, and that sort of necessaries—because those things tell, and mount up.
Don Mateo's right hand in all these festivities was Severino, of the ironmongery shop.
The man on top began kicking with the spurs from shoulder to rump, and shaking up the ironmongery in the poor brute's mouth.
Not that the letter had anything to do with Clement-Pell, for it only enclosed a bill for some ironmongery bought at Evesham.
Some of the chiefs, enjoining silence, made short harangues, and Cook began the usual distribution of ironmongery and hardware.
So does the ironmongery—candle-boxes, and gridirons, and that sort of necessaries—because those things tell, and mount up.
But now they go to see about settling the matter with ironmongery.
Back in the old days, the blacksmith just made every bit of ironmongery everyone needed, one piece at a time, at his forge.

Bellingham WA (SPX) May 08, 2007
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory geologists have put out a call for teeth tusks, femurs and any and all other parts of extinct mammoths left by massive Ice Age floods in southeastern Washington. The fossils, in some cases whole skeletons of Mammathus columbi, the Columbian mammoth, were deposited in the hillsides of what are now the Yakima, Columbia and Walla Walla valleys in southeastern Washington, where the elephantine corpses came to rest as water receded from the temporary but repeatedly formed ancient Lake Lewis.
PNNL geologists are plotting the deposits to reconstruct the high-water marks of many of the floods, the last of which occurred as recently as 12,000 to 15,000 years ago.
"Now is the perfect time to collect geologic and paleontologic data," said George Last, a senior research scientist at the Department of Energy laboratory in Richland, Wash., whose sideline is researching the ice-age floods. "Winter has eroded the slopes, exposing new evidence. We're interested in researching any known or suspected mammoth find, to collected additional evidence and to improve documentation of those sites."
Last, PNNL intern Kelsey Winsor and colleagues have identified 62 sites of known or suspected fossil finds and have verified and collected additional material and information at eight of them, including two so far this spring. They presented three seasons' worth of fieldwork Saturday during the Geological Society of America regional meeting at Western Washington University.
"We're trying to tease out as much information as we can about each and every mammoth find in the mid-Columbia basin, so that we can better understand the impacts that Ice Age floods may have had on the mammoths and other creatures, and in turn learn more about the history of Ice Age flooding."
Geologists suspect that most of the Ice Age floods in eastern Washington originated from glacial Lake Missoula. The lake formed behind ice that dammed the Clark Fork River. Sometimes the ice dam broke, releasing huge volumes-up to 500 cubic miles-of water in an instant. The dam would slowly reform creating a new Lake Missoula, and the cycle would repeat.
The huge volumes of water swept overland from present-day Spokane to the Tri-Cities, creating a distinct geological region known as the Channeled Scablands. The only outlet for this tremendous outpouring was a southern ridge-opening called Wallula Gap. But Wallula Gap was too narrow to handle all the massive flow; the water would back up, creating temporary Lake Lewis, then slowly drain through to the Columbia River Gorge-all in a matter of days.
Preliminary results place most mammoth finds in the Lake Lewis area at elevations of 600 to 1,000 feet, which echoes the distribution of boulders that originated from far away-so-called erratics-and rafted in on icebergs. The evidence suggests that these elevations mirror the typical water depths when Lake Lewis and that larger floods and deeper waters, up to 1,200 feet, were exceptions rather than the rule.
Full skeletons found at lower elevations were likely buried soon after death-by-torrent, a hard to imagine wall of water a half-mile high spanning the doomed creature's entire field of vision and approaching as fast as 60 miles an hour. Some fragments may have come from full skeletons churned up and redistributed by later floods, while others may actually have ice-rafted in with erratics.

Kennett Square, Pa. Barbaro underwent more than five hours of surgery Sunday to repair rear leg bones he'd broken in the Preakness, calmly awoke from anesthesia and "practically jogged back to his stall" for something to eat.
His survival, however, is still 50-50.
Despite Barbaro's huge first step on the road to recovery, Dr. Dean Richardson said the Kentucky Derby winner's fate still came down to "a coin toss."
"Right now he's very happy," Richardson said after the surgery at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center for Large Animals. "He's eating, he's doing very good. But I've been doing this too long to know that day one is the end of things."
The strapping 3-year-old colt sustained "life-threatening injuries" Saturday when he broke bones above and below his right rear ankle at the start of the Preakness Stakes. His surgery began around 1 p.m. Sunday, and it wasn't until some eight hours later that Richardson and trainer Michael Matz emerged to announce that all had gone well.
"From the last time I saw him to now was a big relief," said a visibly fatigued Matz. "They did an excellent job. It's just an amazing thing to see him walk in like that.
"I feel much more comfortable now. I feel at least he has a chance."
Unbeaten and a serious contender for the Triple Crown, Barbaro broke down Saturday only a few hundred yards into the 1 3-16-mile Preakness in Baltimore. The record crowd of 118,402 watched in shock as Barbaro veered sideways, his right leg flaring out grotesquely. Jockey Edgar Prado pulled the powerful colt to a halt, jumped off and awaited medical assistance.
Barbaro sustained a broken cannon bone above the ankle, a broken sesamoid bone behind the ankle and a broken long pastern bone below the ankle. The fetlock joint - the ankle - was dislocated.
Richardson said the pastern bone was shattered in "20-plus pieces."
The bones were put in place to fuse the joint by inserting a plate and 23 screws to repair damage so severe that most horses would not be able to survive it.
When he came out of surgery, Barbaro was lifted by sling and placed on a raft in a pool so he could calmly awake from the anesthetic.
Richardson said the horse "practically jogged back to his stall" and was wearing a cast from just below the hock to the hoof.
"He's a real genuine athlete, there's no doubt about it," Richardson said. "Even the way he woke up from anesthesia, he was very much the athlete waking up from general anesthesia."
Richardson again stressed that Barbaro had many hurdles to clear.
"Horses with this type of injury are very, very susceptible to lots of other problems, including infection at the site," he said.

In the span of about a half-hour we've now had the craziest day of the NFL offseason. The first post will detail the punishments for the New Orleans Saints, who were found to have implemented a bounty system in which former DC Gregg Williams paid Saints defenders to injure opposing players. Obviously this had minimal success, as they had great trouble stopping Marshawn Lynch and any 49ers offensive player in the last two playoffs. Nonetheless, they needed to be punished if not for the system itself, but for getting caught, as obviously other teams who had Williams on their staff hid this well enough.
Well anyone expecting Roger Goodell to be kind to New Orleans doesn't know that Roger Goodell likes to use his power stick. The list of bans and penalties include:
– An entire season for head coach Sean Payton.
– An indefinite suspension for bounty hunting mastermind and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. It will be reviewed after 1 year.
– An 8 game suspension for Saints GM Mickey Loomis, effective at the start of the regular season.
– Assistant head coach and linebackers coach Joe Vitt is gonzo for the opening 6 games.
– Forfeiture of their 2nd round picks for the 2012 and 2013 drafts.
– A $500,000 fine.
– Suspensions and fines for certain Saints players who took part in the bounty (whether they're currently with the team or not) to be determined later.
DAMN! That's some justice. Evidently the Saints have long been lying to the NFL about their bounty system (something the NFL has been investigating) and that probably is one of the bigger reasons they're getting such a harsh sentencing. This is an unprecedented move by the league and commissioner Roger Goodell.
There are so many ramifications out of this. New Orleans is the site of the next Super Bowl and the Saints have been one of the best teams in football for several years. This is as damaging a blow they could get. Keep in mind that they only just recently barely kept QB Drew Brees, who was in the last year of his contract before he got franchised. Would he want to bolt given the impending meltdown of this team?
As for Gregg Williams, he should be out of football forever. If not for being an overrated defensive coordinator, it's this system he's used everywhere he's been. You could argue that for multiple teams clearly participating in this that NO's punishment is too harsh, but someone needed to be the example for the consequences of an organized "injure the other guy!" system like the one that's been used in New Orleans for the last several years.
There's no way back for the Saints. I'd be shocked if they made the playoffs this year and wouldn't be surprised if that organization, which has tried so hard to become relevant contenders in football, fell apart after this scandal. It's inevitable that the Saints will collapse from within as a result of today's events.
A simply stunning day in the world of sports and for the NFL. Now it's a wait and see through the rest of this offseason to figure out what will become of the New Orleans Saints as a football franchise and the rest of the league if there are any other allegations of using a bounty system.

|Cosmic Spirit
Cosmic Spirit in-game
|First Game
|Super Mario Galaxy 2 (2010)
|Super Mario Galaxy 2
Cosmic Spirit is a character in Super Mario Galaxy 2 with a female human shape just like that of Rosalina.
When Mario talks to her, Cosmic Spirit will ask if he needs to be shown the way to any Stars. If the player agrees to do so, the Cosmic Spirit will transform into a blue orb that will encircle and gain control of Mario. This blue orb will guide Mario to the Power Star, but will not collect any Star Bits, coins, comet medals, or 1-ups and health mushrooms, all on purpose. This downside is most obviously demonstrated on the level Tall Trunk's Big Slide. While there is the option of regaining control of Mario by use of the + button, doing so is virtual suicide as this will make the Power Star degrade to a Bronze Star, in which you have to replay the level to get the Power Star.
Please note that while the Cosmic Spirit assists the player, Cosmic Mario and Cosmic Luigi antagonized players instead of helping them. The cosmic spirit ends up to be Rosalina.

I did some browsing and compiled what I believe to be the top of the list when it comes to PCI cards compatible with AirCrack and BT2. I would like you guy's opinion on which one to get....
Card name
Canyon CN-WF511
D-Link DWL-G550
Linksys WMP54G v4
Netgear WG311T
Netgear WPN311
Trendnen TEW-443PI A1 1RPCI
Netgear WG311T * Driver : Madwifi-ng
* Chipset : Atheros
* External Antenna: RP-SMA Connector
* Works perfectly out of the box. Injection works as well.
Asus WL-138g v2 * Driver : bcm43xx
* Chipset : Broadcom
* External Antenna: Reverse connector (RP-SMA) with a detachable antenna
* Works out of the box.
I went for the Netgear WPN511 its quite a nice Atheos based card does the job, Range isnt brilliant and you can "hack" it to put an external antana on it.
im comparison to the cards built into my laptops its middle of the range, it wipes the floor with my Acer 3660 the signal is shit on the built in network card better on the WPN511,
on my HP laptop it has an intel based wifi card the signal is so much sharper but once again not long range.
so in answer to your question get the netgear one you put in your reccomended pile with an ext anteni and you will be rocking,
note if you wish to use fakeap.pl (Anti Wardriver mesures) that script it written exclucivley for prisum based cards.
I've got a dwl-G520 in my desktop.
Works out of the box, injection too. RP-SMA connector. This card is as good as the antenna you put on it. If you want better range and reception, buy a better antenna. For any pci card in a desktop, it helps to get the antenna up and out from behind it.lspci -v
Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
Subsystem: D-Link System Inc D-Link AirPlus DWL-G520 Wireless PCI Adapter(rev.B)

Mr. Finegold represented my interests in matter with a Federal Agency that never went court. Finegold's analysis of the Agency's failure to address their points of concern, and unique ability to express his findings, brought this mis- understanding to a quiet closure.

Without understanding how or why, I found myself in an environment I would not have believed I could ever be in. Larry was picked for me and I was saved that day. The words integrity, stamina, caring (not only for me but for my family as well), professional, just scratch the surface of what this man came to mean to me, to my wife, and to my children. I do not know how I would have survived without everything Larry did for me and continues to do, so many years after the legal arena has closed, and life continues. He is the epitome of the legal profession.
Posted by anonymous
Integrity, grit, honesty, friendship all of these describe Larry Finegold. I came to Larry having never been involved in a Government legal dispute and was blessed to have landed on his door step. I would recommend Larry to anyone who needs protection, and strength.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 - 7 nights
Situated in its own grounds in a hamlet between Megrit and Jugon Les Lacs. Jugon is a 'petit cite de caricature de Bretagne'. The medieval town of Dinan is 20 minutes away and the northern coast (including ferry at St Malo) is 40 minutes.
The house is built in stone and enjoys a large garden. Ground floor: New Kitchen/Breakfast room, Dining room (one wall of renovated stone with decorative arch and large Breton fireplace), Study, Living room, (wood burning stove), bathroom and laundry room. First Floor: 3 double bedrooms (2 double and 1 twin/double), and 3 bathrooms all ensuite. Second Floor: 1 huge double bedroom and ensuite living room (suitable for family). FREE ENGLISH and FRENCH SATELLITE TV and FREE WI FI INTERNET. A heated communal outdoor swimming pool is just 5 minutes away by the side of the lake in high season.
Property Location: Le Tertre de Fresne is situated in its own enclosed, extensive grounds in a very quiet hamlet mid-way between the picturesque towns of Megrit and Jugon Les Lacs. A tarred single-track road leads to the hamlet, which contains about 10 houses, including a working dairy farm (ideal for children!). Megrit and Jugon are both about 5 minutes away by car and contain a number of local shops and other facilities. Jugon, in particular, is a really pretty town. It is a 'petit cite de caractere de Bretagne', with a lovely traditional town square with a boulongerie (for freshly baked croissants etc!), charcuterie, grocery, post office and banks. The town also contains a number of excellent restaurants, including a creperie, and traditional French bistro with set menus from about 10 Euro (we recommend this one particularly highly!). Jugon also has swimming and sporting facilities.
Local Attractions: About 20 minutes away is the medieval town of Dinan, which contains numerous restaurants, cafes, art and craft shops, medieval sites (castle, walls, churches etc.). The town is divided into two; the main part is surrounded by medieval walls and castle, with lovely cobbled streets and out door cafes. The second part is located around the small port on the river, with more restaurants and boat cruises to St Malo, Dinard or even the Channel Islands. Dinan also has a superb hyper-market on its outskirts (Le Clerc) which is open 6 days a week, including lunchtimes! The property is very conveniently located for reaching the northern coast. Resorts such as Dinard, St Jacut, Erquy etc, with their great beaches, are all a maximum of 40 minutes away. There are also many inland sites reachable within roughly the same time such as medieval Josselin and Moncontour.
Getting there: The closest channel port is St Malo, which is only 40 minutes away, but Cherbourg, Caen etc (with their faster crossings) are still only 3 hours drive away. It is possible to come via the Channel Tunnel, but be prepared for about a 6 hour drive!
The nearest airport is Dinard which is only 40 minutes away. Rennes is the next closest at about an hour and it takes approximately 4 - 5 hours to drive from Paris (all autoroute, except the last few miles)
Thank you. We found everything at the house to be perfect. Beautiful house and garden. Thank you so much for the stay.
We were two families with 4 adults and 5 children ranging from 5years to 15years. The house was definitely large enough and well equipt to service us all over the Christmas period. It was lovely and warm, clean and it has lots of character. We made use of the large open fire and smaller woodburner in the living rooms and the kids enjoyed the selection of board games that was there. The kitchen was the most well-stocked I've come across in a rental!
The house was certainly cozy and comfortable in the winter and I think would be charming in the summer when you can make use of the garden.
The nearest village in Jurgan Le Sacs is charming and typically French with a few good bakeries and a good supermarket. We spent most of our time in Dinan further afield with its beautiful cobbled streets and medieval history. I would definitely recommend this property, especially for families and would like to visit again.
Thank you for an enjoyable stay.
We all really enjoyed our stay. The property has character and is large and spacious inside. Plenty of room for large groups to spread out in. Nice and clean with plenty of kitchen accessories. Loads of books to read and on the last day we found the box of toys upstairs too, oops, the kids never even spotted them hehe.
The bedrooms are all very large and very comfortable, the showers all great with good water pressure. It's very handy to have use of the washing machine too.
Granny and gramps bought their fold up bikes with them and went for rides round the area, the roads are quiet and open so safe for cycling.
The owners are very helpful and responsive.
Situated in between jurgan les lacs and megrit it really feels like your out in the sticks with a couple of other houses for company, a lovely pretty garden to sit in and enjoy the quiet. Our two young boys loved popping out to wave at the tractor doing his rounds and to see the cows in the field. They also enjoyed taking it in turns to help granny do the watering.
Megrit is the sleepier of the two villages but does have a bread shop that is good. jurgan les lacs is very pretty with a good super market, a good bread shop and a handful of good restaurants and a post office.
The lake at jurgan is huge and beautiful and although we didnt participate there was lake activities available. The area is all very well kept.
We also spent a lot of time in Dinan as its so lovely and only a 20 min drive, we made it to the coast in half an hour, lovely beaches.
This house was a great base to see this part of the country and I would definitely consider staying here again some day.
Thanks again to the owners.
The house has been renovated to such a superb standard, but totally in keeping with it's original character. Located in wonderful and peaceful countryside, yet close enough to drive a short distance to nearest town. The house was large enough to accommodate our friends and family and well equipped throughout. The highlight was the fabulous garden which has been excellently maintained with beautiful plants, plenty of outdoor seating areas and a BBQ. I would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a tranquil holiday away from the hustle and bustle of city life with excellent local gourmet restaurants.
Beautiful roomy extremely well equipped house in a very quiet and picturesque location. The gardens were delightful and secure so our four little boys could run around and play to their hearts content and we could relax a bit. Jugon Les lacs is only a short drive away and is a beautiful little town with a few restaurants. The pool is great for an afternoon out but be warned to bring proper trunks guys or you'll be shelling out 15 euros to buy some. We all had a whale of a time though. Dinan was about 25 minutes drive away and was incredible and well worth a trip. We also visited St caste le guildo which was a lovely coastal town with a really big, clean beach and some nice shops etc. All in all a wonderful holiday, Brittany is possibly the most beautiful area I've ever visited and this house is a great base to explore the area. We were there with friends but as the house is so roomy we never felt on top of each other. Once the kids were in bed the lounge was a lovely room to relax with a bottle or three of Bordeaux. Highly recommended.
Our stay included 3 coastal beach visits (parking no problem) visits to Dinan,Dinard,St Malo &,Cancale all providing welcoming resteraunts and excellent food
the house which was very clean had all the home comforts This is our second visit to which we added friends, if you love France and the French you will love this. we will return again
Just got back from a week at Les Vignes, it was absolutely wonderful and everything you could expect from a rustic French retreat. We were a party of 4 adults and 4 young children and everyone loved it. The house is very roomy with plenty of space in the gardens for the children to play whilst the adults catch up on their relaxation. There are numerous beaches within a 40 min drive but I would recommend Dinard every time for it's atmosphere and facilities. Also had a great day at Cobac Park. If you have children it is a must visit. Overall a great holiday that was made even better by Les Vignes. We will be back.

I participated in the three-day pledge hike first time this year in July to raise money for the Elizabeth Stone House. It was a very well organized event that I felt proud of being a part of it. Every penny raised will go to support residents of ESH that I believe has been vital for the community to help support women and their families who had experienced hardship in their lives. I will continue to support ESH in its great effort to help support women to regain control of their lives.
I have been volunteering with this org for over two years - the staff and mission are exemplary. I'm thoroughly impressed with the efforts, results, and momentum.
The work of the Elizabeth Stone House reflects their deeply held values of believing that all people deserve respect, support, and hope on their life journeys towards healing after experiencing homelessness. Their programs both within their shelter, and in the community they serve, have mitigated the effects of violence and trauma experience by women and their children. Through their connection to the Elizabeth Stone House staff and other members of the ESH community they have restored their confidence, moved towards self-sufficiency, and found resiliency in themselves and their community. For the past 12 years I have hiked with Wilderness Heals to raise money to support their programming. I come back to hike each year because I believe in their values, programs, and to support their work with women, children and families.
As a retired Social Worker in the fields of child abuse and domestic violence I am honored to volunteer my time to the Elizabeth Stone House. I am constantly impressed by the dedication ,skill, and compassion that the staff bring to this very difficult and challenging work everyday.
This is more than a vocation for the people that work there. It is a calling and a ministry.
Previous Stories
The Elizabeth Stone House is an enduring asset to the communities that it serves. Women in transition from the communities of Roxbury,Jamaica Plain, Dorchester,and other Boston neighborhoods will always find an open door and a helping hand at the Elizabeth Stone House.
The Elizabeth Stone House provides emergency and transitional housing for families victimized by domestic abuse. If that was all it did, ESH would be wonderful. But there is so much more. ESH works with its women residents to teach them life skills to put them on the road to success. ESH takes lovingly care of its children and works to mitigate the terrible effects of the trauma they have suffered. ESH makes its residents and community stronger by using the stories and life experiences of its "graduates" to help show the paths to success and help the current residents build wonderful , meaningful lives filled with dignity and purpose.
The Elizabeth Stone House is an amazing nonprofit that not only provides quick-emergency help for people but also long-term support to help them move forward!

I am a volunteer fundraiser for the Elizabeth Stone House through Wilderness Heals. What keeps me coming back is the fact that this organization really supports its clients, in many ways and in ways that allow individual success. The Stone House is a journey for its clients, not just a quick fix. Keep up the amazing work!
I have been hiking to raise money for the Elizabeth Stone House through Wilderness Heals for 6 years. 4 of those years I have volunteered my time to be a team leader for the 3-day pledge hike. I have visited their facilities and spoken with people in the community the Stone House has provided services to. Whether the services are residential or non-residential programs, ESH clients are able to heal and grow so that they can reclaim control over their lives.
No group works harder, cares more deeply or spends money more wisely and carefully. Their work changes lives for women and families by breaking the cycle of homelessness caused by many difficulties. I've participated in their Wilderness Heals hiking fundraiser for five years, proudly raising money for their honorable and beneficial efforts. They're the best!
ESH supports women in gaining their independence and building strong families. A unique and successful approach
Previous Stories
I've raised funds for the Elizabeth Stone House by participating on the Wilderness Heals hike for the past 3 summers. And I've served on the ESH Board of Directors for 1 year. The organization provides life-saving services to women and their children, and also provides programs and support to over 800 people in the community each year. It is a most exciting time for the ESH -- a new facility will eventually be built a few blocks from the current site, that will dramatically increase the programs that ESH can offer.
I am proud to be affiliated with the Elizabeth Stone House. Employees of the ESH are some of the most dedicated, professional, and caring people I've had the pleasure to meet. They are helping women change their lives, gain independence, and raise healthy, happy families.
The Elizabeth Stone House is a small but powerful non-profit. I started by hiking with Wilderness Heals as a way to support a small charity, but their support of volunteers is very impressive, and that's why i keep hiking.
The morning of the hike one of the recipients of the ESH speaks to the hikers. Each time it is a moving experience that leaves everyone in tears.
Wilderness Heals isn't a big event, and because of that i feel i am making a real difference in someone's life.

When will the folks at MSNBC stop pretending to be journalists and just admit to being liberal hosts looking to push their political agenda? Unfortunately, the answer seems to be not soon as MSNBC host Alex Wagner laughably told her audience on November 6 that she tries to be "non-partisan on her show."
Appearing with her left-wing panel on Wednesday, the former Center for American Progress employee seemed confused as to what her role on the network actually is. Speaking on the issue of President Obama lying to the American public that if they liked their health insurance plan, they could keep it, Wagner showed that she cannot be an objective host, instead opting to push her liberal agenda. [See video after jump. MP3 audio here.]
Speaking on the subject, Wagner argued that:
I mean, listen, I try to be very agnostic and non-partisan on this show, but health insurance companies don't have a great record of doing well by their insurees the people that are on these actual plans.
Given Alex's history at MSNBC, she is one of the last people to claim to be "non-partisan" and objective, as she uses her daily Now w/ Alex Wagner program to shill for liberalism.
Here is just a sample of why Wagner is anything but "non-partisan."
- Called Liberal MSNBC Host Chris Matthews a "National Treasure"
- Hinted that Bill O'Reilly Believes President Obama is a secret Muslim
- Hinted that NRA's Wayne LaPierre was Afraid of "Dark People"
- Suggested calling conservatives "Pro-Hunger"
- Said America should "Get rid of the Second Amendment"
- Asks Chelsea Clinton to adopt her.
I guess that is what passes for "non-partisan" at MSNBC.

Now w/ Alex Wagner

ALEX WAGNER: The president met with insurers yesterday at the White House and presumably said, listen, guys, you cannot keep upselling people or you've got to be more honest with them. But the question is, I mean listen I try to be very agnostic and nonpartisan on this show, but health insurance companies don't have a great record of doing well by their insurees the people that are on these actual plans. As Ronan Farrow points out, Talking Points Memo has a whole investigative piece about just how these insurers are sending out letters meant to scare people or sell them to more expensive plans.

LOWER PROVIDENCE Ś More than 65 years after being discharged from the military, Frank Deegan, who served in the military from 1943-46 with the 30th Infantry Division, finally received a Bronze Star for an act of heroism during World War II
Deegan, who earned ōtwo Bronze Stars, three Purple Hearts, and four Battle Starsö while serving in Europe during World War II, said that he was aware of that he was awarded the Bronze Star at the time of his discharge but did not pursue it.
ōI saw it on my records when I was in the hospital, but when I got my paper discharge, it wasnÆt on there,ö explained Deegan. ōAt the time I wasnÆt worried about it. I was just getting ready to get out of the Army and I figured IÆm out so thatÆs it.ö
However, as time went on and he settled in Lower Providence, Deegan started to check on the status of the award, eventually discovering that he faced issues regarding his original records.
ōOriginally, it didnÆt bother me,ö Deegan said. ōYears later, I figured IÆd look into it but my records burned in St. Louis, so that was the end of that.ö
Finally, with the help of colonel in the North Carolina National Guard, Deegan was able to locate records of the Bronze Star, which began the process that ultimately led to receiving the award in August of this year at the annual reunion for the 30th Infantry Division, which was deactivated and eventually became the 30th Infantry Brigade in North Carolina.
While Deegan was aware that the process for finally receiving his Bronze Star had begun, he was not told that the ceremony would be taking place at the reunion.
ōI had a hunch, but I wasnÆt absolutely sure,ö said Deegan. ōI had my son and my daughter and my grandson with me and his girlfriend, too, so that was nice.ö
Deegan joined the service in 1943 and was wounded three times while serving in Europe during the war, including one wound so severe that he had to spend a year in the hospital and while in the 30th Infantry, or Old Hickory, Division, Deegan crisscrossed Europe, serving at several key spots in Europe during the War.
ōWe were the first ones in Belgium and the first ones in Holland (the Netherlands),ö explained Deegan.
Deegan also explained that the 30th Infantry Division also landed on the shores of Normandy, France just days after the D-Day Invasion that ultimately led to the liberation of Europe.
ōThe D-Day Invasion was June 6 and I went in on the 10th,ö said Deegan. ōThe beaches were clear. The battle was about 10 miles in, maybe a little bit more.ö
Additionally, the 30th Infantry Division led St. Lo Breakout during Operation Cobra, which began several weeks after D-Day and continued the AlliesÆ liberation march through France.
ōWe were there waiting. I was sitting on a tank, talking to the tank commander and 3,000 planes were flying over,ö Deegan explained. ōWe lost 100 men that day and that is where General McNair got killed but we still led the breakout.ö
Because of these efforts and many others during the war, including a stand near Mortain, France where the Old Hickory Division held off German troops attempting to intercept General George PattonÆs troops for six days before finally sending the German troops back, historians commissioned by President Dwight Eisenhower named the 30th Infantry Division the top division serving in Europe.
ōWe were nominated for a Presidential (Unit) Citation, which we never got and are still battling for today,ö said Deegan, before explaining why he believes the division never received the Presidential Unit Citation. ōThe thing is, the 30th Division was National Guard unit and Eisenhower figured that (an Army division) would make it and they figure thatÆs why we didnÆt get it.ö
While it took nearly 68 years for Deegan to finally receive a Bronze Star that he earned while serving in Europe, he is hopeful that he, along with the remaining members of the Old Hickory Division, will have the opportunity to receive a Presidential Unit Citation for the sacrifices made while serving the country.
ōWe were recommended but never got it,ö said Deegan. ōThey have a documentary now, æHeroes of Old Hickory,Æ to try and help us get this citation that we never got, although I donÆt know if it is going to work out.ö
According to Deegan, only a small number of veterans who served in the division during World War II remain and the men still remain hopeful to one day receive the Presidential Unit Citation, which was recommended following the war. However, he hopes that he will not have to wait another 68 years for it.

A national program that places dads in the classroom with their children is experiencing growth at Princeton's North Elementary School.
The Watch DOGS (Dads of Great Students) program is in 4,706 schools in 46 states. This is the third year the program has been at North.
The National Center on Fathering in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, promotes the Watch DOGS program as part of its overall mission to improve kids' lives and develop strong, positive male role models "by inspiring and equipping fathers to be actively engaged in the life of every child." The center's website also says that dads in schools has proven to be a strong deterrent to bullying behavior.
North's school social worker Lynn Nettifee and volunteer coordinator Danielle Opay coordinate the local program and said it was encouraging to see 95 dads at this year's informational, kickoff pizza party. Ten more fathers signed up to participate.
Michael Scepurek is one of the DOGS who has been involved from the start of the program when his son was in the third grade. Now his daughter also goes to North, and he said the kids always seem glad to see him.
"The goal for next year is to get it going at the middle school," Scepurek said.
The program started with a few dads and has grown to include eight fathers. Nettifee and Opay said the fathers can come as often as they have time. The national program asks for a commitment of at least one, full day each school year.
Scepurek said he usually spends a total of three or four days at the school during each year. He helped with the Veterans Day program and passed out poppies, plus comes at other times to help kids with reading, math and other homework, as well as help with whatever the teacher may need that day.
He usually picks Veterans Day and then lets each child pick a day they want him to come. Scepurek works at UMA Precision Engineering in Zimmerman and said his boss is very supportive in letting him have a day or take a day of vacation to participate in the Watch DOGS. His wife, Danette, works as a paraprofessional at North.
Students seem to like when he comes to school and, for most kids, it's a point of pride when their fathers visit and help, he said. Nettifee, Opay and Scepurek agreed that elementary education is female-dominant, which makes it even nicer to have male role models participate at school. Activities the dads do depend a little on what's needed that day. For example, Nettifee said they don't help in the kitchen too often, but it isn't unusual for them to help during physical education classes.
Opay said about Scepurek, "He does more than is asked of him."
"One of the things I do a lot of times is read with students," Scepurek said, which is important to him.
Opay created an online calendar for scheduling the dad days. She and Nettifee said it helps teachers and other staff know what days they might have help. Dads do a mix of tasks, for example, one dad had sat in on his kids' art class and Scepurek had gone to technology class and watched the kids work with robots. Another father is scheduled to come in and talk about his profession, like a career-day talk.
The program normally includes a "top dog," a male who leads the local group and sometimes organizes activities outside of the standard gatherings at the beginning and end of the school year.
Raffle ticket leads to startup
Nettifee said she learned about the program because she was working with someone whose husband participates in a Watch DOGS program in St. Cloud. "So I went to a conference and a session to learn more about the Watch DOGS program." While she was there, she dropped her name into a drawing for a program startup kit worth about $1,500 and was grateful to get the funds and the full support of Principal John Beach to begin a Watch DOGS in Princeton. Nettifee said ongoing maintenance of the program doesn't cost much, but North does not have the ongoing funding it needs or would like for the group.
For example, the pizza and doughnut gatherings cost a little money, and the school would like to be able to give each participating dad a T-shirt when they start.
Scepurek said he bought one of the shirts through the national website store. "They see you with the Watch DOG shirt, and they know you're somebody they can trust."
Funding would enable the organizers to also do more at the introductory programs and maybe group activities throughout the year.
Nettifee, Opay and Scepurek said on the day a dad is coming to school, they put it on the school news network so everyone can see his face and know he'll be there that day. They said any male can participate, including grandpas, uncles, stepdads and other male role models in children's lives. Each man must pass a background check and be cleared to work in the schools before participating.
Men who'd like to get involved, would like to support the program in some way or have questions can contact Opay by phone at 763-389-6801 or by email at [email protected]
