Hello Gang.
My wife and I are thinking about taking a trip to France in October (October 10-October 20, about a ten day trip once we actually arrive in the country. We are both 51 and we like to take in local cultures (cafes, music, people watch), see the sites, feel the romance, and meander in general. We have no interest in running from place to place simply to say we have been there. Usually when we are in Europe, we like to stay in smaller villages, see castles, mountain landscapes, and some otherwise historic sites, (but not so much on churches, museums, etc.) on limited time.
With that said, I request your guidance please. While I would prefer the efficiency of flying into Paris and then flying out of another destination in France, tentative flight tickets are about $600 cheaper per ticket to fly in and out of Paris. Nothing has been purchased yet.
Originally, I was thinking about a week in Paris, and working on my french speaking (just now starting to self study), but now that we are up to ten days, I wonder if we should only target a few days in Paris and then spend the other days on day trips or even some sort of a conservative loop in France to see a variety of locations. We have never been to France before other than a quick border crossing a few years ago, so we are opens to a variety of suggestions.
Thank you in advance.

10 Days in France - Trip Idea Please
Hello Gang.

Ten days is not enough time to see "a variety of locations." I would spend a week in Paris (with maybe a daytrip), then go somewhere close by like Normandy or the Loire for 3 days.
BTW, have you been looking at multi-city (open-jaw) flights or two one-ways? Multi-city is usually not much more, if at all, expensive than two round-trip tickets.

Hi StCirq.
My initial flight searches have been open jaw multi-city. However, until I had a better idea of where I would be traveling in France, I was not sure of the best departure city back out of France. I had searched flying into Paris and departing from Marseille. Again, at this point, not sure of my travel within the country yet.
Thank you.

You can obviously see target locations congruent with your constraints. Of course, the heart of the matter is, which are they?
Small villages? They are everywhere. Castles? Loire valley is one of the many possibilities. Mountain landscapes? French Alps, but October is a transition time. In Chamonix, for example, only the Aiguille du Midi cable car is operating between the hiking and the skiing season. Montenvers train is closed most of October www.chamonix.com/montenvers,81,en.html.
If your goal is to practice French, Paris is probably the worst location beyond Bonjour. Anyone dealing with tourists speak English well and they don't care to be your French teacher. They rather want to get done with the transaction quickly in English and onto next things they need to do. How they depend on the premise. At high end restaurants, they do this with finesse and you would not feel berated in trying French. At busy train stations, they might behave more like your local department of motor vehicles windows, and you must do what they say or else. I think your best bet is in countrysides with older people where people either don't speak much English or with whom not in a hurry to switch the conversation to English.
Multi-city vs. round trip price difference is market based, and if they happen to be similar, that is the case for that particular market. The multi-city seems to be a premium option from those traveling from the Middle East or from Asia.

Toulouse would be a great second airport. Also a great home base with so many great day trips to wonderful places within reach

I flew into Toulouse and out of Paris. Took day trips to Albi(loved), Carcassone(loved) and Montpelier(very picturesque but don't go on a Sunday) and overnights in Nimes ( could easily have spent more time in this city) Avignon, and Beaune (2 nights) . I wanted to take a day trip to Versailles on one of my last few days in Paris but got sick and was unable. THE DAY TRIP options by train are plentiful in both these cities ( Toulouse and Paris) and both are very worthy spots to base yourself if you dint want to move every night

If you dig deep enough, you'll find plenty to see and enjoy in just about any area of France you choose. You don't need to drive far from Paris to find interesting villages and scenery.
We usually spend 3 weeks in Normandy and Brittany, sometimes including a few days in the Loire but the last few trips we just haven't wanted to take the time to go to the Loire.
The first few days of our upcoming trip we plan to visit Giverny, Gasny for lunch, the village of Gerberoy, an Arts and Crafts house in the English style with a Gertrude Jekyll garden at Varengeville,Veules-les-Roses, a floral park at Offrainville,and the villages of Forges les Eaux and Lyons-la-Foret. All these places are north of the Seine and west of Paris.
I've seen some of these places (Gerberoy, Lyons la Foret, and Forges les Eaux) on Google Images and can't wait to see them in person.
Last year we spent a very enjoyable day driving and taking ferries along the Seine, working our way upstream from the HQ of the regional park called Boucles de la Seine.
The area around Mortagne-au-Perche really appeals to us. You can see a lot of 15c-16c stone manor houses along the back roads.
We also plan to continue walking along the towpath of the Mayenne. Most of the time it's just us and some cows.
One of my favorite days was visiting the outstanding flower villages in the Mayenne.
I suggest you check out the villes/villages fleuri and Plus Beaux Villages websites.
The places I mentioned are all quiet spots (except Monet's garden at Giverny), and you might want to balance your country days with some city visits. I believe you'll have a great time wherever you go in France.

With 10 days you can fly in and out of Paris and have a great trip delving into France.
If you rent a car at CDG, drive to Normandy for 3-4 days, return the car to Orly (easy) stopping by Chartres (perhaps) on the way. Taxi to Paris hotel for the remainder of your time and leave from CDG. If you do this, you could spend your first night in Rouen which is not far for a first jet lagged day. Then continue to Bayeux for a tour around Normandy.
OR take the TGV from CDG to Avignon, rent a car and tour Provence for 3-4 days. Take the TGV back to Paris for the remainder of your time.
OR stay in Paris the whole time and take a tour of the Loire chateaux for 2 days or so.

Staying a little further out of the center in Paris in a residential neighborhood allows you to interact with French speakers who may actually like it that you attempt the language.

Thank you all for your suggestions thus far. As this is just the beginning of my trip planning for this destination, I knew I could count on my fellow travelers here to provide reasonable travel options for a location currently unknown to me.
We are definitely village and country landscape travelers but we also want to capture the beauty of Paris and probably one day on the museum circuit.

Thank you Stokebailey. I believe it is respectful for me to at least attempt to learn some language of a country which I am going to visit.

St Cirq. Thank you for your suggestions of Normandy and Loire. Those are just the types of suggestions I need to help me begin to explore what options are available. I was surprised at the number of Castles in such close proximity to each other and also the beauty of some of the photos I found of the Loire area.

Thank you for the suggetions of the TLS airport and some of the daytrip ideas. As I was deciding on whether to fly in and out of Paris or out of some other airport, my ticket option for $750 a person closed and instead rose to $1250 a person. I will continue to plan out my daily trip intneries and wait for another bargin on airfares to pop up.

Hi, Bugler. I actually find the Loire to be one of the least attractive areas of France, but then, I've had the luxury of more than 40 years of visiting other areas in depth. I just do not like the general Loire architecture (and architecture in France varies enormously every 50 km or so or landscape, which is, to me, flat and uninspired, relatively speaking). But yes, of course the castles are magical, and there are so many of them. Now if you REALLY want magic, you need to go to the Dordogne, but alas you don't have the time for it on this trip (maybe next?). That said, I'm sure you can form a perfectly inspiring trip around a few days in the Loire. It sure beats New Jersey!

Coquelicot and Gretchen. Thank you for the detailed suggestions. You have provided me with plenty of areas to begin researching. I really appreciate it.

IME Paris used to be one of the few places in Europe where ones attempts to speak their language, however good or bad, was not met by a reply in English. One our last couple of visits this seemed to have changed and I agree that you may have fewer opportunities to practice but it still surprises me that in smaller establishments, speaking french can be a positive advantage.
a bigger problem is that as a tourist, one has far fewer chances to practice then one might think, unless you deliberately engage people in conversation, for which they may not have time or the inclination. but getting out of the centre of Paris is definitely the way to go for maximum "exposure" - that, or doing a language course.
have you decided whether you want to drive or to go by train to your 2nd location? in October you should be able to travel without reservations quite easily; we did so in the Toulouse area in September a few years ago and had no problem finding somewhere to stay, except on a Saturday night near Coullieres - our own faults. fortuitously we ended up just outside Perpignan which turned out to be a lovely city to spend a day or two.
if you can get the flights sorted, into Paris and out of Toulouse would make a great combination.

Our Paris stay last year was at an airbnb apartment just north of the Place des Vosges, and our interactions with shopkeepers, vendors at the Richard Lenoir market, cafe servers, etc were all in our limited French. (One of my favorite memories, though, was watching our fluent daughter haggle over the price of leggings at St-Ouen flea market.)
Even at the Musee d'Orsay, when I said (in French) that I preferred to try en francais they good-naturedly obliged.
Several blocks closer to the river, I was at a bakery where the shopwoman was clearly irritated both with the pair of older Americans who didn't attempt French, and with the man who opened the front door and called, without so much as a bonjour, "What time do you close?"
Several years ago, when we stayed a week at a gite near Chaumussay and shopped at La Roche-Posay, almost no one spoke English except the market vendor who asked, "New York? Hollywood?"

I'd suggest that you find a zone to out and about in the country side and in a town and use the time to chat to store keepers, buy picnics and visit local museums etc. You can do this in many places and doing many things but I'd look at a short bicycle tour either based around a gite or following a safe bicycle route that is comfortable. Being October you want to be in the South to enjoy the last of the autumn rays. So maybe along the banks of the canal du midi, or down by the coast where wines like La Clape come from. Any later than October and the locals will be shutting their doors against the terrible weather

My wife & I spend 2 months most years exploring different parts of France. We've done this since '99 when we retired early so we could travel more. Before that - only about 3-4 weeks in Europe every year since about 1977.
Other that Paris, the two regions we return to the most often are Provence & the Dordogne. You can't really visit Paris and these two regions in 10 days. You mentioned "historic" - and you can't get more historic than the Dordogne with 40,000 years worth of history for you to see. Plus, the Dordogne seems to me like an area that shuts "fall" - while Provence is more of a lage Spring and summer place.
I would do this:
Fly from wherever you live into Toulouse and stay in Toulouse for 1 night (don't visit Toulouse on a Sunday). Toulouse, along with Dijon, are our two favorite cities in France after Paris. If you can't fly into any city except Paris, land at CDG and immediately take the TGV to Bordeaux and stay there for 1 night - or you can drive the short distance to the wine village of St Emilion & stay there 1 night. Rent a car when you leave Toulouse or Bordeaux.
Visit the Dordogne for 5 nights. Stay in Sarlat or one of the river villages - Beynac or Roque Gageac.
Drive north to Collonges la Rouge, visit, drive to Brive la Gaillarde, return the car, and take the train to Paris.
Spend 5 nights in Paris.

StuDudley- excellent suggestion
and Bugler, everyone is so right about the Dordogne. That whole area is just chock full of gorgeous medieval little towns, some which I've already mentioned. not sure how I got the deal, but my ticket only went up $100 when I chose to fly into and out of a different airport. But worst case scenario you can just train to Dordogne area it's really not that far a train ride (only 4 hours to Toulouse for example) from Paris and then hit a town on the way back to Paris for a day before you fly out. If I had to pick a town I could take a train to, and near the Dordogne area I would pick Carcassonne. It was one of the highlights of my trip. And funnily enough I had never heard of it, before I saw it on a thread here when looking for day trips from Toulouse. Then, I realized how many places I could visit in that area with really cool history, great castles, and ruins. Lots of interesting Cathar history, etc etc. That lead me to pick up some historical novels about the Cathars and now I'm determined to go back and re-explore the area in more depth

I forgot to comment on an earlier post about the Loire being disappointing.
I will say that last year when I went to Muscadet and to Nantes I didn't find them disappointing at all (I was at wineries) but I didn't find them as spectacularly beautiful as some other places in France. However, this year we drove to Sancerre, and I will say that we drove through the most beautiful country I've yet seen in France (I haven't done Alsace yet). The greey countryside, dotted with picturesque little villages.. all of it was just beautiful. Sancerre itself was also like being in a storybook. I made it a top priority to get back to the little towns leading up to Sancerre, the next time in France. It's amazing how you can think of an area one way, and the travel back to a different part of it, and completely change your mind. Not to mention, drinking the phenomenal whites and Roses with the goat cheeses in this area, just doesn't get old.

To get to the Dordogne you don't want to take a train to Toulouse; you want to take a train to Brive-la-Gaillarde or to Libourne or Bordeaux. and then a connecting train to Périgueux. But you really don't want to attempt the Dordogne with less than a week's time.
As for Carcassonne, it's a great half-day trip, but I don't find it all that impressive except in size. Viollet LeDuc pretty much completely scrapped its original contours and decorations and redid most of all of it to his own preferences, as he was wont to do, so it's actually one of the least authentic medieval structures in France.

Yes, if you had more time, I was going to suggest the Dordogne. Lovely little towns, castles and forests and rivers. Not to mention caves. It sounds like this is an area you'd really enjoy -- as long as you are willing to drive. Well, make a note of it for next time.

Please don't stay out of the center of Paris (in order to speak French). The OP's wanting to show respect for the country to learn "some" French is exactly right on. And the manners of saying "bonjour" when you enter, and "au revoir" upon leaving, etc.
It's 10 days. Make the most of it, and travel with your dictionary if needed. French people WILL help you--and even speak English if pressed--they are as reluctant to use poor English as we are poor French (grammar/tense wise)!!

I'm having trouble with the idea that an air ticket costs $500 more or so by leaving from Marseille instead of Paris. I've done that, as well as leaving from Nice, when I flew into Paris, and the difference in fares was maybe $50 at most (I think once it was actually cheaper for some reason to fly back from Marseille than Paris). I always fly Air France, maybe that's why, as they have tons of cheap connecting flights within France. I don't know what the ticket would be like if you flew United, for example, as AF isn't a partner of theirs. Or AA.
That is the norm, is isn't a bargain fare for the fares to not be that difference. However, the $750 you found is a bargain fare, so maybe that's what you mean. That is really low for travel to Europe this year. I suspect that's the issue, you found some real cheap flight, maybe an off airline, and they don't have any way to connect easily within France. I would check to make sure what that $750 airfare is to make sure it is real and with the conditions you want and a decent airline (ie, not a 13 hr layover somewhere or 3 connections or going through Istanbul). If it's a charter or something and desirable, you are right, you won't likely get one leaving from Marseille for close to the same price, and I would want to save the $500, also. Maybe this is a function of where you are flying from, I know it isn't true for possible flights I could take, they are about the same price.

Due to the positive manner in which you folks speak about Dordogne, I may very well add on a few days to the trip to allow proper time to see that region as well as Paris. That is the benefit of asking the questions before I locked in a flight.
Christina, flying out of a second airport was not the issue that boosted prices by that amount. Such change would have normally added about $100 to $150 to the flight. Instead, what happened is while I was having discussions on here, the few cheaper tickets I had found online had sold out. I have price alerts set so I am sure they will come around again. It was on US Airways, so not really an off airline. I used the same airline last time I flew to Europe in 2010.
Thanks guys. I have already begun researching the locations you indicated.

Please don't go to the Dordogne unless you have at least a full week to spend there, which it doesn't sound like you do. And whatever French you do have may not be so useful there, as Occitan is the language of the area if you really want to converse with the natives, especially if you get off the tourist path and into the communes that dot the countryside. None of my neighbors speaks French as a first language, and if YOU do, they assume (if you speak it fluently enough) you are Parisian and take an immediate dislike to you.
So the caveats about trying to speak French are pretty intricate and can't be simplified. And seriously, you need some serious fluent French or Occitan to get around in this area. No one speaks English except in the market towns where all the Brits congregate. And there are so many of them that you'll make your way, but don't count on "practicing your French" around here. It ain't going to happen. You really need to be totally fluent before you even get here. Half-way doesn't work.

St Cirq is an old forum friend - but I don't agree with much of what she has said above. Lots of people enjoy a 4-5 day stays in the Dordogne. On our first trip, we were there for 3 days and fell in love with the region. Because of all of the Brits - major places like Sarlat, Roque Gageac, Beynac, Cenac, can converse with you in English. Our favorite restaurant in Roque Gageac could converse in 4 languages until the hostess/wife passed away about 4 years ago.

We relished our far shorter stay in the Dordogne, enroute from Sete to Chaumussay, with lunch and a walk around Sarlat, drive past honey colored cliffs, and several magical hours in and around Lascaux II.
It was wonderful and far better than nothing, and my husband still talks lovingly about our B&B in Gluges, Château de La Tuilerie. (Gluges is smaller than my own ideal village, lacking as it does even one bakery.)

i have to say that I don't agree with St. cirq either - IME you can easily spend a nice 4-5 days in the Dordogne with a smattering of french, or even none at all ; the locals are well used to tourists of every hue.
the people that you are likely to meet as a first time visitor to the region would faint with shock if you start to speak Occitan to them!

I think we would have ample time to get a good feel for Dordogne. We are outdoor people and enjoy the smaller villages, bed and breakfast type places, taking in the local cultures and visiting with smaller groups of people. As a result, I am not sure I could see us spending more than four days at the most in Paris unless that included days trips out.

Cohen Threatened with Guns During 'Bruno' Shoot
British comic Sacha Baron Cohen was reportedly threatened by a group of men with guns after embarrassing them as he filmed new movie Bruno in America's Deep South.
The funnyman was shooting scenes for the upcoming film in a Southern state last year with a group of deer hunters.
But the unsuspecting participants in the movie reportedly became angry when the star, in character as the flamboyant Austrian fashion journalist, stripped off and pranced naked around their campsite.
The hunters are then said to have turned their guns on Cohen, who was forced to flee with his film crew, according to British newspaper the Daily Mirror.
A source tells the publication, "The crew thought something serious would happen, they were in the middle of nowhere. The hunters thought he was an Austrian TV presenter doing a travel piece. But his behavior became outrageous. He said they were all like Sex and the City girls and it all went downhill from there.
"Everyone had turned in for the night when Sacha started dancing around the campsite naked. They immediately went for their guns and loaded them in front of the camera. He tried to calm them down, but they were furious so they had to get out of there. Everyone was really shaken up by it all."

In this lesson we will see how to use LiveCode to build a small Word Finder application. This application was originally developed by one of the Development Team to 'assist' him in his Scrabble playing, it's handy but perhaps not strictly within the rules of the game..
The LiveCode Word Finder has two options; an Anagram Finder and a Scrabble Solver. The Anagram Finder takes a list of letters and returns all the valid anagrams which can be created using them relative to a fixed list of words. Each anagram is checked for validity against the SOWPODS word list which is the word list used in current International Scrabble Tournaments.
The Scrabble Solver extends the functionality of the Anagram Finder by filtering its results to find only the anagrams which match the user entered pattern. This pattern represents an opening on the Scrabble board where, for example, the pattern 'b??' means find all three letter words starting with 'b'. Question marks must be used to represent wildcards. Only anagrams which contain the same number of characters as those in the pattern will be returned.
Firstly we need to create our interface, we need options for what task we want to perform(1), fields to enter the pattern to match(2) and available letters(3), a search button(4) and a results field (5).
We group the radio buttons for Anagram Finder and Scrabble Solver, this means only one can be selected at a time without you having to implement that behavior manually.
Implementing the Anagram Finder - Stage 1 Finding all Possible Permutations
The Word Finder is implemented using one recursive function, which makes up the backbone of the application, and a handful of smaller, simpler functions which perform various checks and preparation work.
We begin by generating a list of all possible permutations using the letters which were entered in the Available Letters field. This is done using a recursive function which continually splits the string of available letters down into smaller substrings, and calls itself again with a substring as the parameter. The recursion stops when the parameter string contains only one character and therefore can't be split any further. As the recursion is taking place lists of permutations are generated by placing the characters which have been taken off the start of the parameter string, in turn, between each of the remaining characters of the string. More details can be found by looking at the permuteSequence function in the card script.
Implementing the Anagram Finder - Stage 2 Checking against the Dictionary
Once a list of permutations has been found they are checked to see if they are valid words (relative to our dictionary). As the dictionary is quite large, we store it compressed (using the built-in compress function) in the custom property uAllWords of the stack. To check if a permutation is valid we could have used
tString is among the lines of sDictionary
but the time required for this check would be dependent on the size of the dictionary. As a result the dictionary is instead placed into an array using the code below
repeat for each line tWord in tWords
put true into sDictionary[tWord]
end repeat
This allows us to use the check
This will be true if tString is within the word list, and empty (i.e. false) otherwise. This check is much more efficient than checking the lines of the custom property as it can be carried out in constant time. Any permutations which are contained within the dictionary are added to a list of valid words. The final piece of processing needed is to remove any duplicates from this list of words. A duplicate can occur if there are multiple instances of a given letter in the Available Letters field since each letter is treated uniquely in terms of producing permutations.
ABC Example
Given the letters a,b,c the possible permutations are
but the only valid words are
ab, ba, bac, cab
At this point the remaining words will be returned if the Anagram Finder option has been selected.
Scrabble Solver
If you selected the Scrabble Solver option one more step is needed before returning the results. This step further filters the list of anagrams to cut out any which do not match the pattern which the user entered. It is implemented using the filter command and takes the contents of the Pattern field to use as the regular expression.
Question marks must be used to represent wildcards, for example the pattern 'a?' returns all valid 2 letter words starting with a. In the example above this is aa and ab. This is the list of valid 2 letter words beginning with a which can be made with the given letters, in this case aa is possible because we assume that the a given in the pattern is already on the board and the second a comes from the list of tiles we have in our hand.
Using the Anagram Finder
If you are using the Anagram Finder at least one character must be placed in the available letters field. The returned anagrams will contain only the characters which you enter. Clicking Search will start the application and cause any results to appear in the field below the button.
Using the Scrabble Solver
When using the Scrabble Solver both a pattern and list of available characters are required. The characters represent the tiles you currently hold and the pattern an opening on the board( i.e. t *blank slot* *blank slot* *blank slot*). Blank slots (i.e. wildcards) must be entered as question marks and will be interpreted as spaces which need to be filled by one of your tiles. Once you have entered both a pattern and your tiles click Search to retrieve word suggestions. An example of a valid search is shown in the screenshot.

Unless they're by Pinter or Beckett, playlets rarely get a look-in on our main stages. It doesn't have to be this way. Festivals and double bills are simple solutions to the argument that short plays aren't commercially viable or value for money unless they star Michael Gambon or Harold Pinter, yet such events are relatively uncommon.More from Maxie Szalwinska on The Guardian Theatre blog.
The truly short play is in danger of becoming a neglected form. Still seen as inferior and limiting, it's not afforded the kudos of, say, the short story. I'm not arguing against large-scale work or the admirable monsterist movement, just against losing the art of brevity, of finding the epic in the miniature and of making every word count.

Brides and grooms, I beg of you, consider a city wedding, because OMG they are so fabulous. And as cities go, let's be honest, Cape Town is amazing. So when you combine urban chic with lush botanical styling and a Table Mountain skyline, you get the wedding we have today – super romantic with a touch of glitz… fun, intimate and relaxed… and did I mention pretty? I'm especially in love with both the bride and bridesmaids' dresses, as well as the greenery that Catherine and Jason chose to decorate both the church (Kate and Wills-style) and their favourite restaurant, The Pot Luck Club. Flowing greenery, inspired by a meadow, bringing the outdoors indoor, and perfectly complementing the city location. Perfect. The lovely Marli Koen was on the scene, capturing every smiley moment and flash of sequin and lace.Read More

Intimate Orchid-Inspired Dullstroom Wedding by Jack and Jane {Cindy & Carsten}
We always love when a couple use the details of their wedding day to tell their love story, but when it's a bijoux wedding, those details often become even more unique and special because there's more focus (and often more budget) to invest in them. Take today's gorgeous pair of lovebirds – Carsten proposed to Cindy in tropical Singapore, where she fell in love with a specific type of orchid in the botanical gardens. So when planning their small wedding back in SA, it was those very flowers that the couple chose to remind them of that special time, and which formed the basis of their wedding and floral design. Sweet, simple and truly intimate, we're so excited to share their happy day with you, beautifully captured by SBB faves Jack and Jane Photography.Read More
Intimate Open Air Wedding at Groot Constantia by Marli Koen {Sarah & Kyle}
You know, some of my favourite stories about weddings are about the way that a community (even in our modern age) responds to a bride and groom – for example, the way all the neighbours came out to wave my friend Lee off to her ceremony, for example, or the spontaneous applause that can greet a couple during a city photo shoot. It reminds me of the way that in a European village wedding, the bride and groom might walk from church to reception with their guests following behind and strangers cheering them on – a happy and triumphant parade. Today's wedding reminds me of that spirit a lot – you can almost feel the sense of community at Sarah and Kyle's wedding in these lovely pictures by Marli Koen, as well as the couple's togetherness as they see each other for the first look and couple shoot, greet their guests, collect their waiting retinue, and walk down the aisle together. Their friends and family surround them, leaning in to hear their words of love, and afterwards, under the leafy shade on South Africa's oldest wine estate, there's the fluttering of fans, the drinking of wine, and the joy of a love story long in the making come to fruition. I also have to mention how much I love the lasercut pincushion proteas in coloured bottles on each table – such a sweet and fun South African detail!Read More
Intimate Boho Bright Garden Wedding by Riekert Cloete {Lise & Gary}
Back in the day when my mom and dad got married, there was none of this whole weekend, hundreds of people at your wedding thing going on. They had a morning wedding and a brunch in my grandparents' garden. Me, I was a little girl when Princess Diana got married, and from then on, big weddings were the THING. So when I heard about my folks' wedding, at first I just thought shame*. But I've got to tell you, as I've done this wedding blogging thing over the years, I've found a certain appeal in those intimate backyard/garden weddings. Something incredibly charming about celebrating this huge, momentous thing and then sitting down around a table small enough to talk to everyone there. How wonderful must that feel? Today's couple opted for just this kind of wedding – in fact, it might be the most intimate wedding I've ever featured at just fourteen people including the bride and groom. But it is full of heart, and colour, and family and love. Not to mention all things bright and boho, and the most incredible vintagey dress. I adore every one of Riekert Cloete's gorgeous photos, which really bring Lise and Gary's big day to life. Oh, and their how-they-met story? Total Hollywood!Read More
Real Wedding at Palmiet Valley Estate {Amie & Christoph}
Happy Tuesday SouthBound brides – hope your week has got off to a splendid start! Mine certainly has, being in Joburg for a flying visit and seeing a couple of friends before I head to Kruger on Thursday. Can. Not. Wait. I am such a bush baby. Anyway, to make your week even more splendid, I have another beautiful winelands wedding from the fab Jani B. I absolutely adore the bright citrus palette that Amie and Cristoph used, their understated rustic styling, and my goodness, Amie's dress! Not to mention a macaron tower decorated with succulents to match the stunning bouquet – how gorgeous is that? Grab yourself a mid-morning cuppa, and settle in for a big fat dose of lovely.Read More
Real Wedding at La Petite Dauphine {Natalie & Alex}
It's such a pleasure to me to be able to share the stories of so many brides and grooms here on SBB. But it's even more of a pleasure when I get to share the love story of someone I know, and that's what I get to do today! Natalie is a fellow Minervianer (which for the non-Stellenbosch crowd means we were in the same res at uni). She's the loveliest person, and very beautiful, and I always knew some dashing man would sweep her off her feet. It turned out to be one of those stories where Nats fell in love with her best friend (love those, right?!) – I finally got a chance to spend some time with the couple here in London recently and they are ADORABLE. What I love most about their wedding day is that you can see the sheer joy radiating from both of their faces, and in fact this is the first thing Cheryl McEwan, their fab photographer, said to me afterwards, that the love on their big day was so tangible. This is what it's all about, people! Well, that and a lovely in lavender intimate French-style reception at La Petite Dauphine and a bride in a romantic Suzanne Neville dress… but mostly the love. ;) Don't miss Nats' goosebumpworthy description of how they met and got together!Read More
Real Garden Wedding {Lindsay & Gareth}
Hello my lovelies! Today's wedding is a breath of fresh air, or more like a summer breeze on a perfect afternoon (Gaby looks out of the window at a winter London garden and despairs). Lindsay and Gareth wanted an unpretentious wedding focused on their nearest and dearest, so they set aside the usual hunt for a venue and married in an uncle's garden with a woodfire oven churning out fresh pizza and a live blues band and jukebox. Sounds like heaven, no? If ever a wedding captured the lazy, hazy spirit of summer (as well as the theme of 'eat, drink and be married'), then this is it, and although we're usually all about the details, I couldn't help but delight in Kelland Photography's captures of this spirit among the guests as well. Which is just one more SouthBound wedding that goes to prove that doing your wedding your way – whatever that means to you – is also the best way.Read More
Real Wedding at Morgansvlei {Louise & Andre}
Some days as a blogger, it feels like you're talking to an empty auditorium. You see the page view stats, but you can't help wondering, who's actually reading? Is this really helping anyone? Then there are the good days. The days you get an email from a bride telling you just how much you have helped, that you really have inspired or advised them as they planned their big day. Those emails make my day. Every time. And today's post started with one of them. Back then, the lovely Louise (who was planning her wedding) got in touch to tell me how the hen party I organised had inspired her own, and we started chatting. Turns out Louise has excellent taste, and from what she told me I knew her wedding at Morgansvlei was going to be gorgeous. Fast forward a few months, and I found out just how gorgeous! I immediately demanded Louise allow me to feature her Big Day. I mean, we are talking a classy, intimate soiree with clean lines, pops of incredible colour (the florals might be my favourite EVER), stunning stationery (don't get me started on wedding branding, but this is what it's all about) and all captured by one of my favourite photographers, Christine Meintjes. It's heaven.Read More
Real Wedding at Tintswalo Atlantic {Mehtap & Paul}
Guess where I'd like to be right now? Yep, right there on that terrace, sitting at that table, looking out at that incredible view. It's no secret I think the Cape is just about heaven on earth, but some days even I'm blown away. And I can't think of a more wonderful and romantic place to begin your life together. The spot in question is the verandah of the luxurious Tintswalo Atlantic, which looks out over Hout Bay and where in season you can spot whales and dolphins frolicking in the waves. It's one of the Cape's best kept secrets, and I am desperate to stay there now! It would also make an amazing place for a honeymoon. The other thing I love about Mehtap and Paul's wedding, which was flawlessly coordinated by the Aleit team and photographed by the ever-awesome Zarazoo, is that it was so small – just them and three lucky guests. A lot of couples who get married in the Cape are looking for something intimate, and this shows just how to do it. A wonderful location, amazing style (how much am I loving the combination of those coral roses with the rustic Atlantic blues?), and great cuisine – with a view to die for. This is destination weddings at their very best.Read More

1. Vocational Training and Job Placement:
Vocational Training and Job Placement project provide young people with disadvantages, from 17-25 years old the necessary knowledge and skills in accordance with their abilities, interests and backgrounds. After finishing their courses, the project will support with job placement as well. Criteria of selection are:
The process of the Vocational Training and Job Placement project is conducted through these following steps:
The training formats include:
2. Foreign Languages, IT and Social Activities:The English and IT classes at Thang Long School were organised at the very beginning of the establishment of the school in 1994. Every year, about 200 students receive support with English communication skills and basic office computer skills. Every year, about 50 students of English classes have completed the level of Pre-inter and Intermediate which enable them to use English in daily conversation and communication; about 60 students of IT classes have acquired basic computer skills which enable them to know how to use office software, to use email for communication and to use the internet for seeking information. In addition, around 20 students of IT classes have received nationally-recognized "A" or "B" level computing certificates which bring extra points added to their final exam total when graduating from High School.Although having employment is not one of the direct objectives of the project as most young people who benefit from the project are still at school age. Over the years, already many former students have found employment working for hotels, restaurants and companies around Ho Chi Minh City. These places are very in need of English and IT. This has helped them to make their way independently and successfully in the world.The objective of this project is that all young people participating in SCC's English and IT training courses will develop their skills to a level at which it will enable them to find better jobs and at a better level of income when they get into work.
In addition to offering "hard" courses to the young people, we encourage the development of students' creativity through classes in Art and Photography, and other recreational activities. This combination is designed to build confidence and options for the students as well as to give them the opportunity to enjoy a part of their childhood in a safe environment in the same way other young people do.
3. Psycho-social Counseling and Lifeskill:During the training courses, close monitoring and deep counseling were provided to the young people in the Programme. This minimizes the number of young people who have the risks of dropping-out due to various objective reasons such as having difficulties in relationship within the families or with classmates. In addition, urgent supports such as bus fare, meal allowance, or glasses, etc. are provided where needed to make sure that they do not stop learning just because of the deficiency of the very basic needs in their daily life. Various life skills training sessions on topics such as Communication Skills, Attitudes and Appearances in Serving Customers, Expenditures Management, Keeping Oneself Safe, etc. are provided to the young people as a foundation and preparation for their personal as well as career life.

Auburn's Nick Fairley entering NFL draft
By JOHN ZENOR
Associated Press
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Lombardi Award winner Nick Fairley is skipping his senior season at Auburn to enter the NFL draft.
The potential No. 1 overall draft pick announced his decision Friday at his old high school in Mobile. He says he didn't make up his mind until a few hours earlier.
Fairley says there wasn't much left for him to accomplish at Auburn after helping lead the Tigers to a national championship.
Fairley was the defensive MVP in the BCS title game against Oregon. He had a sack, three tackles for a loss and a forced fumble. He also led the Southeastern Conference with 24 tackles for a loss and had a school-record 11.5 sacks.
Fairley played two seasons at Auburn after transferring from junior college.

Students seek community volunteers for harvest event
June 9, 2016
By Lauren Riebs
Looking for a fun way to enjoy the sunshine and give back to the community? In an effort to increase access to fresh food for those in need, UC Davis students are hosting a community harvest of student-grown crops for donation to the Yolo Food Bank Friday, June 10 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.
The cornucopia of produce was grown by students enrolled in Professor Muhammad Marrush's class – Plants for Garden, Orchard, and Landscape. It's here they learn how to cultivate edible plants and maintain a vegetable garden. Now, with summer arriving and the campus population dwindling, students are asking the entire community to participate in the harvest and share the bountiful produce with those in need.
"This teaching field is ripe and ready to pick, and we're hoping we can get some help from the community," says Natalie Dean, UC Davis student and co-coordinator of the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden's Learning by Leading Edible Landscaping Program. "Our fellow students worked really hard learning how to grow vegetables in this field, now we want to make sure the food gets in the right hands, but we need our community's help to do it."
In the past, students could harvest the produce for personal use but it would end up being more than needed. Through the efforts of a few dedicated students, who ensured compliance with the rigorous campus food safety regulations and risk management requirements, the campus can now donate edibles to the Yolo Food Bank and other community providers.
"Harvests like this and a similar one we held in January, are the culmination of a UC Davis student's persistence to help others and the relentless efforts of the Arboretum staff to follow through on it," said Josh Ellis, volunteer manager and procurement specialist at Yolo Food Bank. "This partnership perfectly reflects our objective to find more sustainable fresh produce resources within Yolo County."
Care to join? The harvest will take place on June 10 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Plant Sciences Field. To volunteer, register online at http://stop-the-rot.eventbrite.com
Lauren Riebs is a student news editor for the UC Davis Division of Finance, Operations and Administration.

Here at ITC Luxury Travel we offer a world of luxury holiday destinations, but in recent weeks we've seen a real peak in bookings for Europe.
Our business to the continent for summer 2015 is currently 51% up on where we were at this point last year, and I can't help but think that it's down to the great value of the Euro for us Brits, and the fantastic early booking offers that hotels have had.
Jumeirah Port Soller in Mallorca for example has an extra 13% discount along with 7 nights for the price of 6 when you stay during the peak period (July and August) when booking 60 days or more in advance of travel. While at Daios Cove on Crete, one child under 12 can share their parents' room for free.
Along with this, an increase in flight routes to Europe this summer, particularly from British Airways, has increased interest in Crete, Sardinia and Turkey travel. So there really is no better time to visit the wonderful continent on our doorstep.

I saw these and immediately was drawn to the outside of the car vs the inside of it (survival tactic, maybe?) I think the shots are cool because it's not just of the car... it's almost the car's point of view, which is fascinating to me.

Unanswered: stored procedure - execute passed in param as sql command
Hi All,
I hope this isn't a dumb question. I am using Sybase 15.5 on Linux. I have a system written in C that interfaces with Sybase via dbapi calls. In one instance, I want to dynamically create an 'update' statement in my c program, pass that in to a stored proc, and have that passed in param execute as a normal sql statement. Is this possible?
Sybase table:
my_table contains col1, col2, col3, col4 and col5.
C program creates a string: "update my_table set col1='x', col5='y'"
C program then calls stored procedure called 'update_my_table' via the C/Sybase api interface
stored procedure 'update_my_table' has a single input para ('statement_to_execute varchar(255)). HOW do I, within that stored procedure, execute the statement provided in the input parameter?
I hope I explained this well. If not, I apologize.

Hi All, I am guessing by all of the views and no replies that it isn't possible to do what I would like to do (below). It would be nice if there was a way to dynamically build a sql statement (say, an update statement to a table), pass that in to a stored procedure, and have it execute. I ran some timing on my C program (heavy database usage...lots of updates and inserts) and there is a case where I dynamically build an 'update table' statement then call the Sybase C api to execute the statement. My timing feed feedback shows that one sql interaction takes more time then it probably should. Thus; I thought I could streamline it by running the sql statement within a stored procedure.

Tangerine Wine Recipe
A tangerine wine recipe that make 1 gallon.
This recipe produces a light wine that is great chilled in the summer or heated up with spices in the winter.
This tangerine wine recipe is designed to be used with the equipment in our Country Wine Starter Kit.
The ingredients are available in the Tangerine Wine Recipe Pack.
You will need to bottle the finished wine, using either Glass Bottles, Corks and Corker or using Plastic Bottles.
12 Oranges or Tangerines
1.5 Kgs Sugar
4.5 L Water
1 tsp Pectolase
½ tsp Fermentation Stopper
2 Campden tablets
1 tsp Yeast Nutrient
1 sachet All Purpose White Wine Yeast
Ensure you sterilise all equipment before you start.
Peel six oranges thinly, trying to remove all the white pith, as this will create an unpleasant bitter flavour in the finished wine. Add to a bowl and cover with 1 Litre of boiling water, cover with a teatowl or plate and leave for 24hrs.
After 24hrs strain the orange peel water into your fermentaion bucket and squeeze in the juice from all 12 oranges. Add a further 3 Litres of luke warm water and mix in the sugar until completely dissolved.
Add 1 crushed Campden Tablet. Cover loosely with the lid and leave for 24 hours.
After 24 hrs add the Pectolase, Yeast and Yeast Nutrient to the Fermentation Bucket and stir well.
Leave to ferment for 3 days then strain the juice and add to the demi-john, fit the airlock and bung and leave to finish fermenting at a temperature of 20 -25ºC.
When the airlock stops bubbling or you get a hydrometer reading of about 1.000 you will know fermentation has stopped. After fermentation you want to take the wine off the sediment at the bottom, you do this by sterilising your fermentation bucket again and syphoning out the wine into the bucket, trying to avoid transferring any sediment, then clean out the demi-john and pour the wine back in. if your not convinced you got rid of all the sediment wait an hour for the sediment to settle and repeat.
When you have done this add 1 tsp of Fermentation Stopper and 1 crushed Campden Tablet and refit the airlock and bung. Over the next 3 days you need to shake the demi-john to remove any trapped gas, the wine should clear on its won but if not add a packet of Wine Finings.
Once the wine has cleared, clean and sterilise some bottles and syphon the wine into them then cork the bottles if using glass or attach the cap if plastic.
This wine is best after 6 months of maturing in the bottle, but will get better if left longer.

Journal of Gluten Sensitivity Winter 2016 Issue - Originally published January 5, 2016
Celiac.com 03/23/2016 - Often when people hear that someone is "going gluten-free," they think that just means people are not eating wheat. This kind of thinking focuses on the obvious—since gluten is in foods it means watching what is eaten. They may associate this change in diet with some biological process or disease issue. In the world of the general public, they're not really sure what "gluten" is and they're not totally convinced that eliminating it will improve health. But for those of us who make a commitment to going gluten-free, it is far more than just eliminating certain food products. It is a personal transformation of self. What people don't often talk about is it being a psychological and social change as well.
In many ways, making a commitment to seriously go gluten-free is an act of Zen. The Urban Dictionary defines Zen as "a state of focus that incorporates a total togetherness of body and mind. Zen is a way of being. It also is a state of mind. Zen involves dropping illusion and seeing things without distortion created by your own thoughts." What I've found is that going gluten-free requires thoughtful practice, observing the body, monitoring the mind, and seeking knowledge that one integrates into regular practice. The result is the personal expression of insight into daily life.
Going gluten-free isn't just about eating. It is also about personal discipline. It has a lot to do about how we think and how we live. When we started going gluten-free we thought it was just going to entail a dietary switch. What we've learned over the last decade is that going gluten-free is an act of Zen. Our journey into becoming gluten-free started because health issues forced us down that path. We didn't willingly choose to go there. We would have been content with gorging on Texas toast, pasta, and Oreos for the rest of our lives. But if we did, we would have been chronically sick. The Universe pushed us onto the gluten-free road. At first, we did not go gracefully. We stumbled and fell and made a mess of going gluten-free. Going gluten-free seemed miserably hard and terribly inconvenient. We couldn't find products that tasted good, and those we found were expensive and weren't necessarily healthy (the amounts of eggs, butter or oil in many of them were mind-boggling). We spent too much money on poor-tasting products that were very difficult to find. We griped and complained. We felt alienated and imprisoned. Going out to eat was life-threatening because most restaurants didn't cook dishes that were safe, or if they did they cooked them in an environment in which they could be cross-contaminated. The idea of having to eat awful-tasting food and not being able to go out to eat for the rest of one's life was dreadful and depressing. Eating is one of the joys of life, and feeling like one was never going to be able to eat delicious food again felt like a fate worse than death. Going gluten-free seemed doomed to be an act of suffering. Sometimes, it is only through making a mess of our lives that we figure out how not to.
Such is the case with our going gluten-free. What we didn't realize until later was that we had created this negative reality in our minds. You can go gluten-free smoothly, effortlessly, inexpensively, and easily with no disruptions in your daily lives. It need not be a big deal. This process may take a bit of time. The secret in this transformation has little to do with the gluten-free foods available. It has more to do with what is going on in our heads.
Years of diligent practice, trial-and-error, patience and persistence, and learning have helped us to transform our perception of going gluten-free into an easy, inexpensive, and delicious way of eating. It has also fostered a different relationship with what we eat, why we eat, and how we eat. It has changed our relationship with food itself, how it is prepared, and how it is consumed.
Thinking you can eat anything you want and not get sick is illusion for people who must go gluten-free. It requires mind-over-matter self-control when we're hungry and desire foods that may not be safe. Giving in to that longing for a certain cookie or a bite of Grandma's homemade lasagna can make a person with celiac very sick. Being mindful of why that food item creates desire in us is a useful mental exercise. Certain foods evoke memories and emotions that are more delicious than the foods themselves. We can still enjoy the memories without eating foods that aren't good for us.
Food is very social and relational. Eating something served that isn't safe in order to please or not to appear rude, when it has a high likelihood of making us sick, isn't being kind to oneself. There have been times we've gotten annoyed when what-should-be-safe food has been contaminated. On the surface, it shouldn't be a big deal to redo the dish. But the symbolic message conveyed by serving someone with celiac glutened food is more problematic because it reflects that the server didn't really care about our needs. What happens to our relationships with family, friends, or certain establishments who go out of their way to make sure we can eat good foods, safely, in a no-big-deal manner? We care for them all the more. Frankly, we secretly want to see what goes on in the kitchen and read the ingredients on a product and not just take a waiter's declaration that "I'm sure it's gluten-free" to be an accurate reflection of reality until we are sure that what they say accurately reflects how actively sensitive they are to the needs of others who have dietary needs that are different from their own. Issues of trusting others, and trusting ourselves, is part of the gluten-free process. Helping to teach those who didn't understand the importance of being gluten-free in a constructive and thoughtful manner is much better than getting angry at them and refusing to eat with them again.
Going gluten-free requires mindfulness. It gives us a relationship with our food as well as with others. Eating whole and healthy foods is better for us. Taking time to understand what's in our food really matters. Cooking ingredients in a thoughtful, less-hurried way creates lovelier dishes. Consuming them with gratitude and in communication with others makes them even more delicious. We want to know where the food came from, how it was cooked and what it was cooked with, and details of the dish's preparation. Were those oats grown next to a wheat field? Did these nuts get processed on machines that also processed other items that contained glutens? Were there croutons on the salad that you just picked off? Asking questions in a non-combative way is an art. Learning to read labels and knowing the list of unsafe ingredients must be transformed from being a big deal to it being just another routine step in an ordinary day. Learning how to shop, cook, clean, serve and eat are all actually complicated steps that require attention to detail. It is in the transformation of managing all these details into a smooth, seamless and calm process that going gluten-free becomes Zen.
It took us a long time to realize that going gluten-free successfully has more to do with what's going on in our heads than what's going on in the kitchen. Look upon going gluten-free as a Zen experience, in which you have to change one pattern of behavior for a new, better one. You, like we, may find you have to change attitudes toward eating in general and eating gluten foods in particular—and you will be all the better for it.
We'd love to help you to learn more about our approach to going gluten-free. Check out our book, Going Gluten-free, which is available from Amazon and NorLights Press, and let us know how your journey is going!

Yvonne Vissing Ph.D.
I have just finished writing the book, Going Gluten Free, and it is receiving rave reviews! I wondered if you would be willing to put up an announcement somewhere on your web page about it. I would also be happy to write for you or do other things to promote the importance of going gluten-free. Iâm a medical sociologist at Salem State University who co-founded the Association for the Study of Food in Society. My son is Celiac, only we didnât know it for years, and then when we figured it out, it took us a long time of doing everything wrong before we were doing everything right. The book is a comprehensive book for any gf people, but especially for those just starting out. Here is an Amazon link about it. Â We have a flyer on the book that I uploaded for you. I can also send you a pdf of the book or hard copy if you want. My website is http://www.yvonnevissing.com Let me know how we can become partners in the pursuit of everyone having a positive gluten-free lifestyle! Looking forward, Yvonne VissingView all articles by Yvonne Vissing Ph.D.

Love this article. I write about many of these things for the New England Celiac Organization (formerly the Healthy Villi) and cover the psychological, emotional and pragmatic aspects of living gluten-free, with the focus on celiac disease. The column is called "The Gluten-Free Way". You covered a huge amount of information very well and very clearly. Thank you.

Very good article. I found myself feeling resentful that I can't eat the Krispy Kreme doughnuts, lasagna, etc, like I used to eat so I treat myself by overeating the gluten free treats full of sugar. I just have to come to terms with the fact that I do have celiac and the correct way to eat and quit feeling like I'm being punished. Like you said, there is a lot that goes on in the head.

I have had three different flavors of Ricola cough drops this week with no problem other than a possible sugar headache from so many of them. It could just be a sick headache though.
Hi Louie and welcome Sorry you're feeling poorly. Although some do experience it, it's more likely some cross contamination than withdrawal from gluten. You're learning the hard way that the longer you go on the diet the more sensitive your body becomes to even tiny amounts of gluten. ...
Are original or berry ricolas cough drops good to go? I didn't see the bag said anything about gluten-free and there were two ingredients that I was unsure about, the starch syrup and the Carmel flavoring.
You might want to look into relaxation techniques. Holistic Doctor. Read about the microbiome in your gut. No sugar, caffeine, nightshade veggies. Check out mind and body healing. Maybe you are allergic to the banding material? Is the band in your body for a while? If it was, that may be wha...
Do not eat corn. Take a good omega 3- Goat milk, yogurt, keifer is extremely good for you. Bone broth with 100% grass fed beef. Bison is very nutritious and tastes great. Northstar Bison sells 100% grass fed and finished bison. A little spendy, but well worth it. Wishing you all the best

What to watch for in tonight's GOP debate on CNN
Maybe the biggest thing to watch during tonight's Republican presidential debates is ... whether anybody watches tonight's Republican presidential debates. The first one last month, on Fox News, was a record-breaking phenomenon of Trumptacular national attention. But Americans, other than the wonkiest of the wonks, have generally shown that they cannot pay attention to presidential races for 15 months straight.
Tonight features two debates on CNN. First comes the prelim, at 6 p.m., featuring former New York Gov. George Pataki, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, for which there's not a whole lot of buzz. If you didn't make it out of this round last time a la Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard chief executive, you're probably not going to, and that means the only real entertainment might come from just how far they're willing to go to make a splash.
The main event is at 8 p.m., and will have 11 participants. Billionaire developer Donald Trump is at center stage, flanked by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson. They will get the most play, along with Fiorina, who is expected to try to extract payback for Trump's assertion that her face makes her unelectable.
This debate is supposed to focus on foreign policy and will reportedly pit individual candidates against each other to battle on specific questions. Right off the bat, moderators Jake Tapper, Dana Bash and Hugh Hewitt will face the challenge of matching up against the tough, aggressive questions the Fox crew threw last month.
It's always tempting to talk about which candidates will win, come off well, score zingers and trend. But what I really want to know is who has decent answers on foreign policy - an area that has gotten thornier in peacetime than it was in the midst of two wars.
What is our role in helping the desperate refugees fleeing Syria? How do we help make the world a peaceful and prosperous enough place that millions don't have to consistently flee their homelands?
How do we stop nuclear proliferation? Is man-made global warming a foreign-policy danger (if you believe it exists), and if so how do we handle it? Does military intervention in civil strife or regional squabbling ever work for the United States?
How do we handle world trade so that both our citizens and other nations prosper? China? Russia? Iran? Iraq? India? Israel? The prosperous Arab nations, and the impoverished ones? A Europe overrun by strangers. Mexico and Central America awash in instability and sending newcomers our way.
What to watch for in tonight's debate is whether any of the candidates have enough knowledge and sense to present an informed and cohesive foreign-policy vision. And that's something, honestly, that the current administration has not presented in seven years in office.

Discussion in 'Hangout' started by Ravi, Mar 5, 2013.
I am a repeat customer too. I owned Palio 1.2 ELX from 2005 to 2006.
My car is my first car ever, however My grandfather had a 1972 Fiat (1100 I suppose) of which I have quite good memories. those memories did played their part while making my decision.
However I voted for first time customer.
P.S. First car, second car, third car and so on all going to be FIAT
Can we add one more option "FIAT's fisrt customer and looking for the next FIAT"
@Mchanna, the real question is "Whether this is the first and last buy from Fiat for you" (First Customer) or "You will buy a Fiat only next time too" (Repeat Customer).
As like the others I too first misunderstood and voted as "First Customer" but I clarified in the thread that definitely the next buy will be a Fiat group car only.
I am first time Buy..
I dont think so..if that is the case IMO 76% people are voted wrong!!!!!!!
I'll be buying FIAT again..but I voted for First Customer as Palio is my first buy!
Gurus please clarify...otherwise this poll will give wrong result
You are right mchanna.
If you owned Fiat, Palio and older, then vote for Repeat, otherwise First Fiat.
This is my first FIAT, bought home a Grande Punto 90HP.
My father used to own a second hand FIAT padmini premier petrol (the one with hand gear) when I was 5 years old.
The excitement of seeing a FIAT at home is all same
I shall be glad to be a repeated customer too !!!
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using Tapatalk 2
I'm a first time buyer waiting to become a repeat customer;- )
I have three FIATs. First one is Palio 1.2. Second one is Stile - MJD. Six months back, Bought the Linea Emotion and it is doing good. Shortly repeated customer, for ever.
Separate names with a comma.
