As sunny, albeit chilly, as it is today, seems like this is the literal calm before the storm, given what is expected to drop on the area on Tuesday.
Of course, the Devils are scheduled to host the Winnipeg Jets at Prudential Center on Tuesday night at 7. For the Jets, who will play at Nashville on Monday night and also play the Islanders on Thursday at Barclays Center, it's their last trip to this area this season.
Devils coach John Hynes said he did not expect to have a morning skate at The Rock because of the storm but was hopeful the game would be played.
"We said they should prepare today like they're not going to come to the rink [in the morning]," Hynes said. "I think we'll wait and see. I'm sure the league will be in contact with Winnipeg. If they get out [of Nashville] in time…but you never know how serious it will be. Hopefully, it's not that serious."
So the players brought home whatever warmup materials they might need, be it exercise aides for stretching or rolling. That type of thing.
The game cannot be pushed to Wednesday because the Devils host the Flyers on Thursday night and play at Pittsburgh on Friday and teams will not play three days in a row in the NHL.
If they game has to be rescheduled, March 28 is likely the only date that matches up on the two team's calendar.
Surely, one of the most famous events in Devils' history – besides the three Stanley Cups and "Mat-teau, Mat-teau, Mat-teau," – came on Jan. 22, 1987 when a blizzard limited the crowd at the Meadowlands to 334 for a 7-5 win over the Flames. The game was delayed until 9 p.m. because some Devils' players had trouble getting to the arena and the Devils later formed a 334 Club to honor those fans who made it in.
It could be that type of night on Tuesday.
Hynes said that often affects the home team more than the visitors, when there are few fans in the stands.
The Devils did practice on Monday. Proud papa Travis Zajac, whose wife, Nikki, gave birth to the couple's third child and second daughter on Saturday – meaning he missed the 5-4 loss at Arizona – was on the ice and will play on Tuesday, again provided there is a game.
That means either Blake Pietila or Kevin Rooney will come out of the lineup.
Devante Smith-Pelly (lower body), Jacob Josefson (upper body) and Michael Cammalleri (shoulder) will all remain out. Of those three, only Cammalleri, who will miss his sixth straight game, skated on his own today. Smith-Pelly will be out for the second straight game and Josefson's absence will stretch to seven games.
The Devils did have an energetic practice heavy on battle drills in tight quarters and then breakouts. No specific lines were shown so expect similar to what was in Saturday's game, with Zajac going back between Taylor Hall and Kyle Palmieri.
Also, please check back here to Fire and Ice or my Twitter account for updates on the status of Tuesday's game.

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) fundamentally seeks to bridge the gap between engineering design and high-fidelity computational analysis by using spline functions as finite element bases. However, additional computational design paradigms must be taken into consideration to ensure that designers can take full advantage of IGA, especially within the context of design optimization. In this work, we propose a novel approach that employs IGA methodologies while still rigorously abiding by the paradigms of advanced design parameterization, analysis model validity, and interactivity. The entire design lifecycle utilizes a consistent geometry description and is contained within a single platform. Because of this unified workflow, iterative design optimization can be naturally integrated. The proposed methodology is demonstrated through an IGA-based parametric design optimization framework implemented using the Grasshopper algorithmic modeling interface for Rhinoceros 3D. The framework is capable of performing IGA-based design optimization of realistic engineering structures that are practically constructed through the use of complex geometric operations. We demonstrate the framework's effectiveness on both an internally pressurized tube and a wind turbine blade, highlighting its applicability across a spectrum of design complexity. In addition to inherently featuring the advantageous characteristics of IGA, the seamless nature of the workflow instantiated in this framework diminishes the obstacles traditionally encountered when performing finite-element-analysis-based design optimization.

Reviews of Visiting Angels | Cambridge, MN
knels49 February 24, 2013
I am a current client of this provider
All of the "Angels" have been "very friendly and pleasant to talk to" (the patient's words). I feel that they have been professional and very helpful with housework, besides taking good care of my husband. It gives me peace of mind (while I am working) to know that my husband is being well taken care of and also having a fun day.

The Visiting Angels have provided care for my parents since fall of 2012. Each of the visitors has been kind and very helpful in the work they have done. Mom and Dad rave about their cooking, and they appreciate the cleaning that is done in the house. When I have not been able to take one of my parents to a doctor appointment, the scheduler has cheerfully worked out a schedule change. We are very pleased with the Cambridge, MN Visiting Angels, and recommend them highly.
Lynne Dablow February 19, 2013
I am a current client of this provider
Hello, Everybody: I have been involved with my Mom's care for many years now and we are now at a point where we need very consistent and specific support for our Mom. I would like to recommend, (but most importantly thank!) Visiting Angels in Cambridge Minnesota. Their phone is:763-552-4043. They have very competitive prices and the whole team is great at a very important skill - clear communication. Their progress notes are excellent. And, when needing "all eyes on deck" to stay on top of changing health issues for older people - this kind of solid communication is invaluable to families. During a recent cold snap, one of Mom's direct care staff could not make it to her. Karen and Nita, owners of the business, showed up to fill the shift. That's dedication. Thanks visiting angels, the Dablow's love you!

Lady Gaga wins small court victory in legal battle with ex-assistant
A New York judge has cleared Lady Gaga from any wrongdoing after a former assistant accused the singer of failing to turn over emails relating to her ongoing legal battle for unpaid overtime. The singer is fighting Jennifer O'Neill in court amid claims the ex-employee is owed $380,000 (£253,334) for 7,168 hours of extra work during the 2010 Monster Ball trek.
Gaga, who has denied the allegations, recently obliged to an order demanding that she provide a number of key emails exchanged between the two between 2009 and 2011, but O'Neill insisted there were further messages that had not been turned over.
She claimed forensic evidence from her laptop proved that there were more emails that Gaga had yet to surrender to the court, but the Poker Face superstar hit back, insisting her Google email account had purged the notes 30 days after she first deleted them – and was therefore unable to retrieve them.
Manhattan Federal Court Judge Paul Gardephe sided with Gaga during a hearing on Wednesday (14Aug13) and dismissed a motion from O'Neill's lawyers seeking to sanction the musician, reports the New York Daily News.
He stated, "Plaintiff has not offered any evidence that defendants have withheld responsive emails, or that they destroyed emails (after they were ordered to keep them)."
Earlier this week (begs12Aug13), celebrity photographer Terry Richardson lost his bid to halt the court-ordered release of more than 142,000 photographs he took of Gaga on tour after arguing he would suffer "immeasurable financial loss". O'Neill alleged Richardson's snaps would help prove the lengths she went to to please her employer.
The case continues.

· Update this memorial
Patrolmen Daniel E. Howard and Donald E. Andrews were killed in a traffic accident responding to an emergency call when another squad car collided with theirs at 43rd and Michigan.
Officer Andrews, driver of the squad, and Officer Howard were rushing to the 47th Street Station of the Dan Ryan rapid transit line to intercept two passengers carrying a shotgun. Both squad cars had their sirens blaring, and their red lights flashing as they approached the intersection. Patrolmen Howard and Andrews were westbound on 43rd Street and entered the intersection against the red light. The second squad car entered the "blind" intersection from southbound Michigan Avenue. The impact of the collision drove both squad cars onto a sidewalk. Patrolmen Howard's and Andrews' vehicle rolled end over end for 40 feet, killing both officers. The officers in the second squad car were treated and released for their injuries.
Patrolman Howard was assigned to the Prairie Avenue District and was a 5-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department.
The funeral mass for Officer Daniel Howard was held at St. Gabriel Church, 4500 S. Lowe. He is buried at St. Mary's cemetery in Evergreen Park.
On May 25, 2006, Officer Howard's star was retired and enshrined in the Superintendent's Honored Star Case, located in the lobby at Chicago Police Headquarters, 3510 S. Michigan Avenue.

Our Consulting Approach
Chances are, you haven't worked with a consulting firm quite like Olive Grove. First, we don't adopt the proprietary "one-size-fits-all" approach. Instead, we work from the ground up to understand a client's unique challenges and goals. We start with questions and seek to understand before rushing into solutions. Then, we tailor a custom transformative plan to enable that organization to achieve its vision. We approach our consulting strategy as a partnership, placing our client at the center to deliver unique and customized approaches.
Our second main differentiator is that we operate within an open-source network model. This means that we have access to individuals, organizations, and resources across a variety of disciplines and service areas. We have developed an extensive national network of like-minded individuals with the talent and drive to transform an organization's understanding of itself, its view of what is possible, and its ability to deliver on its mission. In addition to tapping these consultants and firms for client projects, we actively weave ideas and relationships among the nonprofits, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, universities, pro bono providers, and others in our network.
CEO Search & Leadership Transition
How would your organization handle the departure of a critical leader? Many scramble. Unprepared and without a strategy is not a position an organization wants to find itself in. Olive Grove takes a proactive and holistic approach to transition. We can help your organization broach the conversation of succession, develop an effective transition plan, assist in executive search strategy and execution, deliver leadership and board member coaching, and construct an evaluation procedure. We utilize our network to uncover and connect talent with organizations, and are here to partner with you to manage the inevitable leadership changes that happen over time. Change doesn't have to be scary! If managed properly, it can be an exciting time of transformation.learn more
Leadership Coaching
Some great leaders are born. Others are coached by us. Some folks are happy with "effective leadership." Not us. We provide individual, team, and board member coaching to develop what we formally like to call "kick ass leadership." Because people are the most valuable asset an organization has, it only makes sense to spend some time and energy cultivating their capabilities. After all, the better your people are, the better your organization's mission delivery is. And great leadership has a ripple effect. Let us help strengthen your team.Are You Ready?
Our goal is to strengthen your ability to challenge your assumptions, improve your critical thinking, and make strategic choices that will propel your organization into a better future. With Olive Grove, you get more than just a pile of documents and a "cookie-cutter" approach —what you get is a true partnership with a hands-on team, committed to moving your organization forward. Our approach to developing your strategy process will depend on the challenges and opportunities that are unique to the organization. The right approach for your strategy work could be a few hours with a thought partner, or an 18-month comprehensive process – we will co-design something that makes sense for you, instead of a "one size fits all" strategic planning product.learn more
Governance should work for your mission, not against it. A great board of directors, who understands its roles and responsibilities, will increase an organization's ability to achieve impact. A mismanaged and disorganized board can be a great limitation. Whether it's starting a governing body from scratch, or revamping your current one, we can help build dynamic long-term governance models designed to evolve with your organization's growth.learn more
Keynote Speaking and Presentations
Have you ever heard the phrase "sharing is caring"? Well it's something we live by at Olive Grove. As thought leaders and collaborators, we want to share what we know. Our team engages audiences to challenge ideas, broaden perspectives, and inspire the motivation for change. We are available for speaking engagements, meetings, conferences, workshops, and other special events.learn more
We believe that in today's rapidly changing world, philanthropy requires new strategies, approaches and investments. Much of philanthropy has lost it's risk-taking, innovative edge – but that doesn't mean you should be haphazard or flippant. Olive Grove draws on its in-house experience and network for the resources to help you move courageously forward with your vision. Whether you are an individual, a foundation, or a corporation, we will meet you where you are, help define your philanthropic goals, and build customized solutions that will drive effective and transformative impact.learn more
Fund Development
You've heard it before – no money, no mission. But building a fund development model is often a tremendously overwhelming task. Olive Grove has the resources to develop strategies to target funding sources, create effective messaging, promote your vision through the right channels, solicit donors and cultivate relationships, facilitate corporate partnerships, and target untapped income opportunities. We can support campaigns as well as annual revenue development. Fundraising is a team sport, so don't go it alone!Are You Ready?
Financial Management & Business Plans
Now that you've raised the money, it's time to put it to work for your organization. We can work with you to understand the ways that financial management, a great balance sheet, and a pragmatic business plan can enhance the vision, strategy, operations, and programs of your organization. Whether you're big, small, or somewhere in between, we want to empower your entire organization to use finance in navigating strategic decisions to build sustainability.Are You Ready?
Collective Impact, Collaborations, and Mergers
Change isn't always easy, but it is inevitable. Sometimes the best way to enhance your impact and better deliver on your mission is to partner with someone whose vision aligns with yours. Through new relationships or collaborations an organization can remain relevant in a fast changing world, and multiple partners with unique missions can come together to move the needle on big challenges. We can help you explore sharing services, consolidating back office functions, a merger, collective impact, or another type of alliance. Olive Grove can help to explore the collaborative opportunities that exist for you.Are You Ready?
Group Process and Facilitation
Even if you are a master facilitator, it is nearly impossible to serve in that role for your own organization when the stakes are high and the variables are complex. We put the "pro" in process and free up your time and head space to focus on the issues at hand. Whether it's a retreat, convening, scenario mapping, or a visioning session, we can support you. We ensure the right people are at the table, clarify what needs to happen, help craft a shared vision, and figure out where the rubber meets the road to ensure effective implementation.Are You Ready?
Operational Excellence
When you've worked with nonprofits for as long as we have, you see some interesting practices along the way: budgets written on the back of an envelope, computer modems tied together to make a "server", or perhaps, strategic plans without implementation plans. If you are seeing yourself while reading this, don't worry, we won't judge! It's challenging to run a tight operation while you're out changing the world. We can develop an operational strategy that will propel your organization to the next level. It's much easier to deliver on a mission when your operation runs like a well-oiled machine. If you're just starting out in a one-person office, or have a team of hundreds of people, we can help you develop and manage the infrastructure your organization needs so that your focus remains where it needs to be most – your mission.Are You Ready?
Referral Services
Through the breadth and depth of our network, Olive Grove can provide referral services for the following areas: Program design and evaluation, marketing, branding, audit and accounting, compliance, legal, facilities, market research, IT, HR and human capital management, PR and communications.Are You Ready?
What's in a Name?

These texts represent Islamic power and wealth in scenes of piracy on the high seas, on-stage execution by strangulation, and rites of religious conversion. The plays are set in historical and cultural context by Daniel J. Vitkus's clear and thoughtful introduction. These carefully edited, annotated, modern-spelling editions are particularly valuable for understanding the cultural production of English identity in relation to the Islamic Other.
Daniel Vitkus equips us with an extremely informative introduction as well as fresh, reader-friendly editions of three plays about that great early modern English other, ´ the Turk, and about Islam´s enigmatic ally, the renegade or convert. Sixteenth- and seventeenth-century imaginings of Islamic culture (from Barbary pirates to Ottoman despots, from circumcision to the seraglio feature prominently in well over a dozen Elizabethan and Jacobean plays, so it is high time that we had easy access to three prime examples.

I've received tons of helpful information about our upcoming trip to France this summer. I would appreciate it if people would critique my itinerary. We are spending 7 nights in Paris, & I plan on buying the 4-day Paris Museum Pass for myself and my husband. After the week in Paris, we will meet my daughter (C), and her French boyfriend (R). R will have his car, & we will drive to the Loire Valley where we will spend 3 nights, & then drive to his parents' vacation home on the Atlantic coast for another 3 nights. Because R will be with us the 2nd week, I'm not worried about that week. For our week in Paris, I like to have an itinerary planned out for guidance, but we don't have to be rigid. Some of our choices will be dictated by weather, & we may decide to spend more time in one museum/monument & less time in another when we are actually there. I have also built in 2 days for relaxing, cafe sitting, whatever meets our fancy.
July 28 – Saturday - Leave Boston for Paris on Air France flight
July 29 – Sunday - Arrive Paris CDG @ 11:30AM
Assuming we arrive on time, I assume we will reach the Hotel Bonaparte no earlier than 1:30pm, & most likely later.
After we check into our hotel, walk around Latin Quarter & Saint Germain neighborhood & get a feel for the area. Have lunch & dinner. Possibly go to Louvre or Orsay or Rodin Museums near closing time to purchase Paris Museum Pass that we will activate on Monday (July 30).
July 30 – Monday
Notre Dame – climb to the top of the tower & visit the inside of the cathedral
St. Chapelle
July 31 – Tuesday
Musee d'Orsay
Rodin Museum
Hotel des Invalides – if we have time for only one site here, see Napoleon's Tomb
Tour Eiffel – not sure if we will go to the top, depends on crowds (even though Tour Eiffel is not covered by the Museum Pass, logistically it makes sense to go there on the day we are at Orsay & Rodin Museums). Might go at night when there will hopefully be fewer crowds.
August 1 – Wednesday
Jardin des Tuileries
Musee de l'Orangerie – opens at 12:30PM
Possibly return to Louvre at night; it is open until 9:45PM
August 2 – Thursday
Day trip to Versailles
Perhaps go to Arc de Triomphe in the evening. Need to go to Arc de Triomphe any evening Monday through Thursday because of 4-day Museum Pass.
August 3 – Friday
Do the things we haven't done yet, such as Luxembourg Gardens.
Wander around the neighborhoods
Relax at cafes, people watch
Seine River Cruise, unless we have time to do this earlier in the week.
August 4 – Saturday
Tour of Opera House Garnier (Phantom of the Opera fame) @ 11:30 or 2:30
Whatever else we want to do, shopping. Etc. maybe go to Montmartre
Seine River cruise, unless we have done this by Saturday.
August 5 – Sunday
Check out of Hotel Bonaparte.
Meet up with C & R and drive to Blois.
Overnight at All Seasons Blois Centre Gare hotel in Blois.
Possible chateaus to visit while in Loire Valley: Chambord, Chenonceau
August 6 – Monday
Overnight in Blois
Tour chateaus
Maybe stop at a winery
August 7 – Tuesday
Overnight in Chinon – Hotel Le Plantagenet
Maybe tour Sleeping Beauty's Castle in Usse.
Would like to visit Saumur & possibly Sache.
Villandry Gardens either Monday or Tuesday.
August 8 – August 11 – stay with Richard's parents on Ile d'Oleron
August 11
Take TGV train from La Rochelle to Paris; leave La Rochelle @ 11:40AM & arrive at Montparnasse @ 2:46PM. Then RER or Taxi to CDG for AF flight that departs at 7PM.
I would appreciate any recommendations/changes, etc. Are my sighseeing ideas for each day realistic?
Thank you so much for all of your help!

July 29 - you can buy the museum pass at the Cluny museum. Since it's not on your list to visit it would be nice to see the building and the medieval garden. There's a sundial on the wall next to the entrance. It's built over Roman baths and you can see fragments on the outside. Well worth a visit - one of my favorites.
Also walk around the Luxembourg Gardens; all that greenery will be a respite from the heat.
July 30 - just behind Notre Dame is a lovely garden with benches. If you continue through the garden and cross the street you'll see the Deportation Memorial. Well worth a 10 minute detour.
Stop and see the flower market on the way to Ste-Chapelle - it's by the metro stop Cite.
Report Abuse
Thanks Adrienne. That's a good suggestion about the Cluny Museum. Unfortunately, we just don't have the time to see everything so that's why it's not on my list. But we may change our mind once we get there.
What are the typical temps in July/August?
Report Abuse
Be aware that the line to climb the tower at Notre Dame will likely be long - we were there two weeks ago and we waited about 45 minutes to get in and go up.
Also, you can get advance tickets on-line for the Eiffel Tower - locks you in to a time but bypasses some time you would otherwise wait in line.

I spend a long time in museums. To me your Tuesday and Wednesday would not work, so go to your must-see museum first and then take the rest of the day as it comes. Monday looks light. Do not miss the Deportation Memorial.
Enjoy your trip!

Overall your itinerary looks good - and I'm glad you've planned in time to "do nothing"!
Sunday - I agree that this would be a good day to wander the Luxembourg Gardens. Basically, as long as you plan to wander somewhat aimlessly, wherever you go will be good! Get those legs moving and air in your lungs after all the time on the plane, without trying to focus too much and rather just take it all in. You could wander from your hotel via the Luxembourg Gardens all the way down to the Observatoire, maybe even stop for a bit at one of the (now overpriced) cafes made famous in the 20's such as the Dome or Rotunde, then return via Blvd. St. Michel, either on foot or public transit. Cluny is indeed pretty if just to pop in for your museum pass. It's located right next to La Sorbonne, also good for a quick peek at the gardens and walkways of one of the oldest universities on earth. IMO, you don't want to eat in the Latin Quarter, but there's plenty of other options in the area.
[Side note: if you haven't found them already, do check out the posts by Fodorite denisea. She stays in that area and always has great trip reports filled with restaurant reviews. Her latest post is: http://www.fodors.com/community/europe/reed-restaurant-in-the-7th-what-a-gem.cfm ]
Monday - feels a little light, especially since it's your first full day and you'll be raring to go! Have you looked into the concerts they hold at St. Chapelle? Wonderful at night, though of course those vitrines are gorgeous on a sunny day. Adrienne mentioned going into the gardens behind Notre Dame. If you continue past the deportation monument, you'll cross a bridge onto Ile St. Louis, a quiet residential area known for the famed Bertillon glaces. I eat them any time of year - see denisea's old post of enjoying ice cream in December! - but in July/August, totally necessary! Tiny scoops with the most intensely amazing flavors...
Tuesday/Wednesday - I agree with Leely2. Even if you're not big museum-goers, there is too much going on in too short a time! (Take "museum fatigue" into account.) The Louvre is vast - makes NYC's Met feel intimate by comparison! Pick something you'd really like to see and try not to get sucked into a whole day there. Likewise, there's a lot going on at the Musee d'Orsay. I love the Orangerie and the Rodin; the latter has pretty gardens strewn with sculptures and a cafe and, being in an old house, has a very manageable feel to it. I always end up spending more time there than I anticipate.
In addition, it always feels like a looong distance to me between Orsay and the Tour Eiffel! I know you're trying to make the most of your museum pass, but maybe try and rearrange some for Friday? (Hit the biggest cost ones with the pass, and pay out of pocket for some others...) Oh, and you'll be in Paris on the first Sunday of the month, when the city-run museums are free! Keep it in mind, even if you've got your other logistics going on that day.
It is of course a matter of personal taste, but IMO if you want to ascend above Paris for a view, the Tour Eiffel is preferable to the Arc de Triomphe for its more central location. However, it's certainly easy enough to visit the Arc if you still have energy on your Versailles day. If you are up for it, take the RER C back from Versailles and descend at Pont L'Alma, then cross the river at Trocadero and walk through the quiet streets of the 16th up to the Arc. You can then descend the Champs Elysees (again not really a destination in and of itself IMO), maybe even stop at Laduree for some well-deserved macarons before heading into the Metro... (If you don't want to walk through the 16th, simply switch from the RER C to the Metro instead.)
And just one quick note about the Loire Valley: if you can, try and go to a "sound and light" (son et lumiere) presentation at one of the castles. I believe Blois has a regularly scheduled one. These are evening performances with actors in costume, and very French.

Google Maps will help a lot in judging distances: use the Directions feature and choose the pedestrian icon; you can drag-and-drop the route line to see different options.
Also, I find Weather Underground (wunderground.com) very helpful for its archive of historical weather trends. To get a sense of what the weather will be like when you go, try it out for Paris and the Loire for the time of year of your trip!

Kwoo, it looks good to me. Am with you in spirit!

Also, this is a bit of a random side note, but Kwoo have you seen the invitation for the Boston GTG? I've been in past years and it was a lot of fun. It will be in October - plenty of time to recuperate from your trip!
Report Abuse
ggreen, I can't believe it! We are going to a wedding on October 6 in Vermont, so it will be impossible for us to attend the GTG. Darn! I would love to meet everyone. I've been using this board for quite a few years now. Does someone plan the GTG every year?
The reason I didn't put a lot of sightseeing down for MOnday, July 30, is because I've been assuming there would be long lines at Notre DAme. If going to the top of the towers doesn't take as long as I think it will, then we will have time to do something else. I like the idea of the gardens, the deportation memorial, visiting ILe St.Louis for ice cream/glaces.
And if the Tour Eiffel doesn't work out for Tuesday, we can go there on Friday or Saturday.
Thanks to everyone for all your replies. I love planning my own trips, but it can be daunting at times when you've never been somewhere.
Report Abuse
Kwoo, what a shame! And there I was thinking that October is sooo far away.
I discovered the Boston GTG via the Asia board, where the organizer is most active. (He does make posts on each of the main boards - but you know how fast they can sink amid everything else!) I believe they have them every year in the fall. I admit I then forgot about them - in recent years I've been so sporadic about being on here - but saw this one and remembered how cool it was to spend time IRL with Fodorites.
In that thread I provided, he gives an email address to be added to the list. It's my understanding he keeps the list year over year, so you'd be on it for next year.
Also, for this year he says there will be events from Friday evening through Sunday. So if you're not heading up to VT for the whole weekend, you could maybe make it to one... A lot in one weekend, I know!
* * *
As for Paris(!). I haven't been up the towers in ND in probably 20 years, so I can't really speak to that. But I do remember that once you're up, you'd probably only hang out there for 20 minutes or so. (The view is not panoramic, like the Tour Eiffel, so there's only so much to see. Climbing up the narrow winding stairs is very cool though IMO.)
I hear you about trying to gauge a place that you've never been! To that end, I'll venture out on a limb here. In some ways, the scale of Paris is a lot like Boston. There are parts that feel very close together and walkable. Others look close on a map but feel farther apart. For the most part, the Seine is less wide than the Charles, and it feels easier to hop back and forth across to, say, the Tuileries than it does from Boston to Cambridge. I believe, like Boston, it has a lot to do with what's around: traversing the Tuileries feels a lot faster than the same distance on the quai which has less to look at (like walking on the Harvard side of the Charles vs. the opposite one).
I'd also put it out there that the M1 is a lot like the Green Line (only underground) in that it's a main subway artery, and the stations are a fairly similar distance apart through the 1st arrondisement as the Green Line along Boylston or Huntington.
Thus, depending on how your day goes and what the museum hours are, it could be perfectly conceivable after your ice cream to hop on the M7 at Pont Marie, descend at Palais Royal - or the M1 at St. Paul, descend at Tuileries or Concorde - and visit the Orangerie. Or (something not on your itinerary), from Ile St. Louis go into the Marais and walk through Place des Vosges before hopping the train at St. Paul...
For les glaces Berthillon, I always get a combination of flavors, one chocolate or maybe coconut and one fruit.
P.S. Not to add unnecessarily to your itinerary(!), but I wanted to mention that the Grand Palais - a fabulous structure in its own right - always shows temporary exhibitions. It's worthwhile to check what will be showing there when you're in town!

I would do the Seine cruise on the day you arrive--in the early evening. Take some wine with you. Have a dinner at a cafe and go to bed.
You haven't put in the Marmottan or the Carnavalet or the Cluny in your museum going. The carnavalet is free, and Marmottan not included in the pass.
For your Louvre visit, get the Michelin Green Guide and map out what you are going to do--and make sure what you want in that wing is open the day you go.
For me, I would leave the possibility of Versailles "loose". You may decide you have too much IN Paris to do.
We've never had the push to go up in "everything". The Invalides is a plus minus--as you've sort of indicated.
Consider a picnic lunch on the Champ de Mars with the Tower to view.
I don't see any market going. I wouldn't miss that!!

i agree that your monday is quite light; Mondays are a problem in Paris. we filled ours by getting to Notre Dame quite early, and then walking around the Marais [many shops not open but the architecture is the same, whatever the day] and then doing a canal trip up the canal st. martin.
the boats start/leave from Bastiile metro, so it's very convenient from the Marais.

We prefer the Pont Neuf Seine boat trip to the longer (and I've heard, sort of boring) Canal St. Martin. There's a discount coupon you can print.

well, gretchen, as you've not done it, you're hardly in a position to say if it's boring or not, are you? why would you think that I would recommend something boring to the OP?

we thought that the trip was very interesting - the commentary [in french and english] was very well done and included some fascinating details.

Everyone is entitled to your opinion!! LOL
I "think" this is a first trip--I could be wrong there also. A week seems like SO long--in Paris it isn't.
I was offering an opinion about the Seine trip--and at first I wondered about your BAstille "entry" so was tempted into the fray to clarify yours vs. the usual one hour Seine trip. ;o)
You are exactly correct--in about 12 or more trips to Paris we have not taken the time to do this. 'o)

Gretchen, would I buy the Michelin Green Guide at the Louvre or can I buy it at Barnes & Noble in the U.S.?
We love markets, BTW. Where are some of them located? I will add Place des Vosges to my list. My guidebooks says it's a great place for lunch.

I love the idea of a picnic lunch on the Champ de Mars! A baguette, cheese and a few tartlettes... Mmm
You can buy Michelin Green Guide at B&N and elsewhere in the States, in English - whereas you might get stuck with it primarily available en francais once you're there.

Oh, definitely buy it here. There will be a list of markets in it also, I'm sure. YOu will really want to read it and plan before your trip.
I also love the DK Eyewitness Guide to Paris because it organizes "things" by areas--so if you are at Notre Dame, you'll also see many other things around there that you could peek at.
There is a street market somewhere every day, except maybe Monday. Our favorites are Richard Lenoir on Thursdays and pl. Monge on Sunday--only in the mornings. But there are many others.
And then there are the permanent market streets like rue Cler, and others for shop upon shop of goodies. Please don't be driven away from rue Cler by the usual naysayers that it is all American tourists. Believe it or not, Parisian housewives DO shop daily for THEIR meals!! LOL
IF you do your picnic on the Champs, go to rue Cler and get your sandwiches--don't forget the wine!!

Unless you were planning a dinner cruise, you might consider using the bateau bus to get around on your Musee D'orsay day. It would combine being on the river with getting you from point to point. www.bateaubus.com

Thanks Gretchen & Cathinjoetown for your excellent tips about the markets & restaurants. I have started compiling a list from other posters about restaurants & can use more ideas. Of course we are looking for reasonable but good food. Will definitely check out La Boussole & rue Cler & the markets. We don't need to eat fancy.
And, yes, we have talked with our daughter's boyfriend about luggage. He was here several weeks ago & we showed him our big suitcase. He will only have room for one of our big suitcases & one carry-on. That will be tough because we usually each have our own large suitcase, but in the interest of not having to rent a car, we will make do with one large & one carry-on. Courtney & Richard will be with us for only one week, so they don't plan on bringing a lot.
Based on everyone's suggestions, I plan on making amendments to my itinerary & re-posting it soon.
Thanks so much!

Momo's Piggery is a small online shop. From the about page on Momo's Piggery...
"Momo's Piggery's Mission Statement is to find forever loving homes for these cute clay creatures.The idea of encouraging adoption instead of buying or breeding is very important to me, so this will also play a big role in my shop.Each will come with their own adoption certificate, and by adopting them, you promise to love and care for them forever.A portion of ALL sales will go towards CAVY HOUSE Guinea Pig Rescue.I normally sell my creations at our Cavy House Guinea Pig Rescue monthly fundraisers, but I hope to reach a wider audience online. More than anything else, I enjoy making things that others can enjoy - and of course, it is all for a good cause."
Momo sells a verity of products mostly made of polymer clay. There are bracelet, necklaces, earrings, charms, and even bookmarks. After talking Momo sent me a Gupi Necklace, a bookmark and magnet. The bookmark and necklace came with adoption certificates. Each of the creatures has it's own name, story, and needs a home.
I've completely fallen in love with my new piggies. My daughter keeps trying to steal the necklace, she thinks it's adorable. The bookmark is so cute, it's a darling way to keep my place. The magnet is up on my fridge, and while it will most likely get covered with art work or school papers. I'm happy it's up there.
I think this is a worthy cause, because I adore Guinea Pigs. I feel they are great companions and wonderful pets. I really miss mine and will be at some point be sending pics of my babies to Momo for a custom order so I'll have something to remember them by.
Disclaimer: I received the above mentioned products from Momo's Piggery for review. These opinions are my own.

Inglis buys thoroughbred classifieds website
AUSTRALIAN sales company Inglis have announced the acquisition of the online thoroughbred classifieds website bloodstock.com.au. Launched in 2009, the website has since attracted over 8,000 listings from agents, trainers, breeders and owners seeking to arrange private sales of thoroughbreds.
The announcements comes shortly after the five per cent share in Coolmore sire Starspangledbanner was sold after it was advertised on the website.
There are currently more than 2,000 listings on bloodstock.com.au, ranging from broodmares, youngstock, stallions shares tonominations. The website also contains interactive stallion profiles.
Inglis managing director Mark Webster commented: "Bloodstock.com.au is an excellent online horse trading website that will compliment our existing auction business extremely well. We recognise that people want to be able to trade horses outside of the traditional auction cycle and bloodstock.com.au allows this to happen.
"Our focus is on continuing to innovate to meet our clients' needsand we think bloodstock.com.au will be an extremely important part of the overall Inglis offering.
"In the coming months we will launch a number of new services that will make the process of marketing and selling thoroughbreds whether it be via auction or private sale, even easier and more compelling for our clients."

Five decades ago, the Las Vegas Strip was nothing but a dusty desert highway from Los Angeles to what is now the downtown cluster of casinos. Back then, tourists would drive without air-conditioning from California and know they were almost in Vegas when they spotted the Glass Pool Inn, standing alone and beckoning the road to give it her tired, her hungry and her sweat-drenched masses.
The Glass Pool, which turns 50 this year, was the original Las Vegas "water feature": a stunning 9-foot-deep above-ground tank with huge round windows to peer through and take funny photos of friends. As the city grew up around it, the pool remained a constant relic of the old days and a frequent draw for filmmakers parading scantily clad women around a vintage Vegas image. It was originally named the Mirage, which this kidney-shaped, 54,000-gallon tub must have appeared to be to those road-weary visitors. But Vegas entrepreneur Steve Wynn bought the name from then-owner Allen Rosoff in 1988 to use for his new hotel and company.
Today it's endangered. Rosoff sold it in 2000 to New World, a partnership of Las Vegas land developers that has purchased 77 acres east of the Mandalay Bay resort for a new hotel. Earlier press reports said the Glass Pool would be preserved within the new hotel. The New World did not return calls for comment.
For now, though, it remains in its iconic location. Most guests are foreigners sensible enough to realize that they can spend just $45 a night to stay on the Strip. Non-guests can swim there by paying $5 per person.
The pool once had a diving board and a slide, but they have been removed. Although the water is clear and refreshing, the edges are so grimy that a popular pastime is scratching one's name in the black residue. The restaurant closed and is now a sign shop. And the deck has just a few plastic lounge chairs.
Doesn't sound like an A+? Ah, but all this fits the Glass Pool Inn's theme as surely as the Coney Island roller coaster that loops around New York New York. That theme? Classic Vegas. In a town where nothing lasts and where everybody's trying to transport guests to some phony European scene, this one's authentic in its own strange way.

The look of pure joy! When 5-month-old Stella met ballerina Abigail Cowan on Sunday, September 18, it was love at first sight. "Stella was absolutely enthralled," the baby's mom, Kiersten Schwendeman, tells Us Weekly. "She lit up like she had seen dreams come to life. It was absolutely priceless. She sustained eye contact for minutes."
The precious moment, which was captured by Schwendeman's mother, Lisa Jones, went viral after it was shared on Reddit.
Stella was at the children's Faerie Festival at Rockwood Park in Wilmington, Delaware, when she spotted Cowan. "They encourage all attendees to dress up as fairies or pirates," the 27-year-old mom tells Us. "I didn't have a costume for Stella so I put on her fanciest dress and headband when we arrived." Later, Schwendeman added a pair of tiny pink fairy wings that she purchased at the celebration.
Schwendeman tells Us that Stella has had a "larger-than-life personality" since before she was born. "When I was only 12 weeks pregnant, Stella would kick the doppler so hard to get it away from her during our prenatal appointments that we could hear the whooshing kicks," says the director of training and development for Kids First Swim School. "Since birth she has had a very strong opinion about what she likes and dislikes."
And though it's clear Stella likes ballerinas, she'll be dressing up as Rosie the Riveter for Halloween. "I bought the costume before all of this happened, so I'm going to stick with that for this year!" says Schwendeman. "I decided on Rosie because Stella is destined to be a mover and a shaker."

The National Honor Society at Three Rivers High School is crocheting mats for the homeless out of recyclable plastic bags! Students are collecting the bags, creating the plarn (plastic yarn) and, with the help of parent and community volunteers, crocheting the mats. It takes 500-700 bags per mat, so you can image the number of hours (and LOVE!) that goes into the creation of these resources! The plan is to distribute the mats to the homeless.
Please click through to learn how you can help!
Materials needed:
- Crochet hooks for students – Sizes can vary
- RECYCLABLE plastic bags
- Volunteers to crochet or make plarn
- A Pledge to help make the mats possible
Each mat requires a $200 pledge. It is important to note that you can contribute with any monetary amount. However, we are thankful and blown away by the interest in local businesses to donate the full $200 for this cause. NHS also extends a huge "thank you" to our initial donor and parent-volunteer, Robin Burpee. She crocheted our first mat, holds "how-to" sessions, and has donated through her business (Chicken Coop Treasures, Inc.) to sponsor our first mat. We are very thankful for her time and efforts to help make this a success!
For more information on this project, please contact TRHS National Honor Society advisor Ashley Eby at email@example.com or 2692791120.

Looking for a fairly low key restaurant for a business dinner within walking distance (5 blocks or so) of 34th and Lex.
The NoMad and Millesime were deemed too loud, and Ai Fiori is too pricey. We're looking for main courses below $35. I thought of Riverpark but it is a bit of a hike. I'd appreciate any other ideas, preferably American, French or Italian, nothing too adventurous. Thanks!

Lifelong Learning
In 1967 Walter Cronkite previewed the home office of the 21st Century. His short piece ends, "With equipment like this in the home of the future, we may not have to go to work. The work would come to us. In the 21st century it may be that no home will be complete without a computerized communication console."
Now all of the tools he previewed (news, weather, stock updates video phone, video monitoring) are embedded in the average smartphone. It made me think he should have said, "In the 21st century it may be that no POCKET will be complete without a computerized communication console."
Cronkite's prediction is cool, but it does not even begin to comprehend the power of today's devices. This brings me to my main point.
20 years ago a teacher could master the overhead projector and be pretty set in terms of classroom technology. Now we can't begin to master all the possible tech tools.
We need to be lifelong learners.
We need a working a knowledge of technology integration possibilities, resources to help us discover and implement new ideas, tools to implement the plan, and the solid background in content and pedagogical knowledge that have always been required for great teaching.
What we need is TPCK.

In celebration of the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton, TV Guide Network honors the historical event by offering wedding-themed programming to viewers, including Kathy Griffin's Insightful and Hilarious Take on the Royal Wedding, a one hour special hosted by Kathy Griffin that will take a light-hearted, humorous look at the ultra-formal nuptials premiering on Friday, April 29 at 8pm ET/PT on the TV Guide Network.
Griffin says, "I'm thrilled at the opportunity to take TV Guide Network to a level of high class…or down to the gutter; I haven't decided which. Either way, as a longtime royal watcher — and let's be honest, I'm referring to Prince Harry's adorable arse — I'm eminently qualified to cover the wedding of the year, and not just because I once saw Helen Mirren at In-N-Out Burger. If I can survive having Brooke Shields as my maid of honor (go ahead and Google that one, I'll wait) then I'm fully prepared for that cozy little chapel of love called Westminster Abbey. And by Westminster Abbey I mean a TV studio full of judgment."

Discussion in 'Typhoon H Discussion' started by Christian, Aug 20, 2016.
Hey guys. Where can i buy a ballanced cable adapter for charging my H batteries? Thank you
Is these charger correct for charging the thyphoon h batteries or better a 300w power?
Turnigy Reaktor 250W 10A 1-6S Balance Charger
yes ok nut look at a multi charger such as teamorion duo toch then you can charge 2 at once
The only problem with that charger is its output of only 10 amps, whilst it will charge a single TH battery faster than the standard supplied charger at 6 amps, if you have more than one battery or intend to get more you need a more powerful charger 12 to 20 amps or a dual output charger to charge 2 battery's at once at 6amps minimum on each output.
Also just be aware some charger manufacturers mislead the charger specifications regarding output on dual out chargers, you need to pay attention to the individual amps output on each channel, for the H battery you need 6 amps on each channel, whilst you can charge at 5 amps it will be slower to charge, I personally charge at 6 amps other users charge at even higher rate but for longevity of the battery I would settle on 6 amps max.
i charge at 6 on both channels with my touch duo
I've been waiting and looking for an adapter for almost a month now. Everywhere is out of stock! Quadcam stated middle of August availability and now says end of August. Some on Ebay but at a ridiculous price that I personally would never pay!
My Hi-tec H4 will charge four 4 cell 5400mah batteries at the same time at 5amp per Channel,this is running off a DC power supply tho and not AC.
And although it may take slightly longer charging at 5amp it's still a lot faster than the stock charger and your charging 4 batteries at the same time and not 1!
I must add this is not the cheapest route tho as this is an expensive charger plus you need a 20 amp dc power supply and 4 adapters for the H batteries,i fly rc planes so already had the charger and power supply for my lipos.
My Hi-Tec 2 does the same!
I always update the time of shipping depending on the order. I have them never in stock they get sold out before the new ones arrive therefore I have to push the date further and further back.
But when you order and it says shipping end of August it will also ship at the end of August since you got into the back order list for end of august same was for middle of august etc.
New material arrives next week and this might be the first time where I can put it in Stock (but maybe just 10 or 20...) (the new batch for end of august is almost sold out...)
I see, I will place my order then. Where does this item ship from?
Its shipped form Switzerland and the shipping takes 1 to 1.5 week.
Mine came today! Great! I also sent you email at your company asking about the ground wire for the balance connector. Is the yellow wire the ground wire? I haven't connected my battery yet, and will wait till i see a reply.
Thanks again!
Hy just sent you an E-Mail with the "instructions"
I got mine in the mail today Andy! Thanks from Hawaii
thx for the feedback! Nice that's 8 days after I shipped it! So priority shipping seems to works well
Yes I believe that is outstanding! All the way to Hawaii in 8 days. And my batteries can't be Happier.
Thanks for posting the photo. I had forgotten about the 5 port adapter that came with my Hitec X4 Plus AD/DC charger. Using it you can't make a mistake since the balance plug can only be plugged in one way. However, if one plugs into the side of the charger, it's possible to plug in upside down, thus reversing the ground and create a bad situation!
Aloha to ,and thanks again to Andy!!

Keeping your foundation and eye shadow from creasing during hot weather or throughout your wedding can be a challenge.
But you don't have to panic, during a heatwave, or look unpolished at the altar.
With the help of a few expert beauty tips, you can apply strategic dots of primer on your face to help your makeup stay put, look naturally flawless and remain crease-free.
Table of Contents
Eyeshadow Primer – Your Makeup's Make-it-Last Secret
Need a long-wearing eyeshadow for a photo shoot or fashion show?
Prep the eye area with a primer to keep your matte and shimmery shadows in place from morning to evening.
The Benefit Cosmetics Stay Don't Stray Stay-Put Primer for Concealers & Eye Shadows, light/medium ( $35.00) will prevent the shadow from creasing and allow the vibrantly-colored shadow to pop. Also, keep moisturizer off lids to keep lids crease-proof.
Foundation Primer – Why It's a Must Have
For all day hold – whether you use a cream, powder or liquid foundation—smooth on a few dots of foundation primer.
You'll not only create a crease-free canvas for your foundation, but the primer will help hold the makeup in place.
After dotting your cheeks, chin, nose and forehead with foundation, blend with circular strokes using a cosmetic sponge.
Voila! You now have fabulous and flawless skin.
How to Apply Primer
After moisturizing face with a product made for your skin type, place four dots of Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Original 0.4 oz ($26.00) on your forehead, cheeks, and chin.
Then spread the foundation primer across your face.
To prep lips for shadows, apply a pea-sized amount of primer to the upper eye area with your fingertips. Gently blend the primer from the inner to the outer corner of the eye.
Wait a few minutes before applying eye shadow to lids with a brush.
Your Perfect Primer -Tips & Tools
- To allow the makeup to seep into the folds of your skin evenly, use your fingertips to apply the foundation and eye shadow primer to your face and eyelids.
- Next, deposit the eye shadow on your lids with an angled eye shadow brush.
- If you use a concealer to hide dark circles or cover blemishes, apply your primer to skin first, then smooth on the light-reflecting concealer with an eye shadow brush.
- Make sure you blend the cream well on the eyelid; you can use your fingertips for this and tidy up any mistakes with a cotton swab.
- Another top makeup tip is to use good quality make-up brushes when applying eyeshadow as they'll make it stay on longer.
- Other types of primer to keep your makeup from creasing include MAC Shadesticks or Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion.

Benefits of Fast-Track Trade Authority
November 29, 2001
The war on terrorism is being used to justify all manner of expensive and peripheral federal programs. But the anti-terrorism effort is seldom invoked to justify freer trade -- even though it demonstrably raises living standards among poorer nations, and economic interaction among nations helps sustain military coalitions, trade specialists point out.
The House of Representatives will soon vote on giving the president fast-track authority on trade pacts. Supporters of freer trade suggest that opponents keep these facts in mind:
- America's exports accounted for nearly one-third of our economic growth over the past decade -- and now support over 12 million American jobs.
- Jobs generated by exports typically pay 13 percent to 18 percent more than comparable employment.
- The North American Free Trade Agreement, and the completion of the Uruguay Round, now generate annual income gains of $1,300 to $2,000 for the average American family of four.
- A recent World Bank study shows that nations open to trade grow 3.5 times faster than those closed to trade.
While each of the previous five presidents has been granted fast-track authority, it lapsed in 1994. During the seven years the U.S. has been without this authority, other countries have move ahead without us.
Since 1990, the European Union completed negotiations on 20 free trade agreements -- and is currently negotiating 15 more. Mexico now has eight agreements with 32 countries.
But today, out of 130 preferential agreements and trade agreement in the world, the U.S. is a party to only three.

Lady Gaga is losing the war against hackers. Just a day after she was forced to prematurely release "Applause" early due to leaks of her ARTPOP single surfacing online, the songstress' super hush-hush duet with legendary singer Cher has been unearthed. Titled "The Greatest Thing," the track ? which admittedly sounds very much like something from Cher's repertoire -- was previously locked up, as Gaga was reportedly unhappy with the outcome.

About Silicon Valley
Located on the San Francisco Peninsula, Silicon Valley grew outward from its central location, Stanford University. With the Santa Cruz Mountains in the west, the Coastal range to the southeast, and the San Francisco Bay in the east, it is a geographically beautiful area with eclectic features. Prior to it's focus on tech innovations, the area was called "The Valley of the Heart's Delight" because of the diverse, specialty fruits found distinctly in Santa Clara County, California. At the forefront of the monumental transition from crops to microchips was electrical engineer and Stanford professor Frederick Terman. Inspiring a young William Hewlett and David Packard to begin their work in the field of electronics, Terman fueled a western movement to found new technology companies in contrast to the established eastern corporations. From this vision, the Silicon Valley took shape and a new era was born.

Every year thousands of new immigrants arrive in Canada and more than half of those end up immigrating to Toronto. With property prices where they are, many people cannot afford to buy resale and therefore end up looking at the pre-construction opportunities, of which there are many in this growing city.
My current clients are Canadians but were living in Kuwait for the last 17 years. There two oldest have since come back for University and their youngest will be going to high school next year. They arrived in Toronto 6 months ago and the wife recently found work but the husband is still looking for work in a highly competitive marketplace.
