Where to Ski
Legals and Terms
Villars is posh, polished and very Swiss, with its mountain railway, picturesque chalets, elegant restaurants and smart hotels. It's also one of the best family ski resorts close to Geneva, with a ski area that stretches across to Les Diablerets, Gryon and high, snowsure Glacier 3000.
Villars sur Ollon has a long pedigree as a ski resort. It has been one of the classiest places to take a winter holiday for over a century. There are excellent hotels; fine restaurants on the slopes and in the village; not only normal ski lifts but also a mountain railway connecting Villars with the slopes above it and the neighbouring resorts of Les Diablerets and Gryon; a snowsure glacier at the far end of the ski area ('Glacier 3000'); good nursery slopes and a choice of child-friendly ski schools. And everything is within easy reach of Geneva airport making Villars a great weekend destination.
Whilst Villars may not have the visible glitz and bling of nearby Verbier, a lot of the rich and famous own property around here. And it's not just celebrities who prefer Villars' discreet charms. Some of Verbier's mountain guides bring clients over, knowing that they'll have the backcountry largely to themselves. In fact the mountains around Villars form the first 3000m barrier on the North-West side of the Alps, collecting whatever snow comes that way. Of course, Villars is much too staid and traditional to boast about its freeridingpotential, so very few know it makes a surprisingly good short-break destination for mixed ability groups whose strongest skiers and boarders want off-piste excitement almost as much as the rest of their party want a really nice long lunch.
On-piste challenges for advanced skiers in Villars, les Diablerets and Gryon, are admittedly few and far between – the long black and red runs coming down from Glacier 3000 to Reusch are the best of a very small bunch. But that does not matter to the novices, weekenders, families and relaxed intermediate skiers who come here year after year. They relish the resort's short, sunny, gentle red and blue runs which are subtly replenished at night with artificial snow from a myriad of snow canons (provided it's cold enough). Only in a warm spring does the ski area contract, and even then there will always be skiing at Glacier 3000 but as that's quite far from Villars, many holidaymakers simply hang up their skis and take up other activities such as walking on prepared mountain paths, paragliding, tobogganing, skating and swimming. Or they spend more time at lunch.
+ Excellent restaurants on and off the slopes
+ Beginner-friendly, mid sized ski area
+ Mountain railways add to the appeal
+ Quick and easy to get to from Geneva
+ High snowsure glacier at Glacier 3000
+ Good off-piste with a guide
– Expensive
– Long journey to and from glacier
– Non glacier slopes are not snowsure
– Very few challenging pistes
Neither exceptionally big nor small, the Villars ski area's bonus for keen skiers is its link to the Diablerets glacier, where modern uplift and extensive (and naturally snow-sure skiing) can be found. On the Villars slopes, once you're on the mountain, either by cog railway from the centre of Villars or gondola from above the village, the lift system offers sufficient variety and options across four 2,000m hills, one of which can be reached directly by gondola from Gryon, the neighbouring village to Villars. Total piste length, including Les Diablerets, but not the glacier, is 100km.
Petit Chamossaire, at 2,037 metres, offers stirring views across the valley towards Leysin and Chateau d'Oex, and some good pisted descents for strong skiers with a variety of permutations featuring a choice of bumps or interesting, steep tree lined cut-throughs - and all are generally uncrowded. In fact for many of Villars' regulars, Petit Camossaire is their favourite peak.
Above Villars and to the west is Roc d'Orsay, reached by gondola from one end of town. Much of the skiing lies in the bowl to the east and north of this point, with draglifts and chairlifts rising from the centre to the 2,120m high point - Grand Chamossaire - and east to 1,987m Chaux Ronde. A chairlift and a draglift heads north-east from here, below the ridge to Meilleret and beyond to Les Mazots and then the village of Les Diablerets and access to the glacier; to the south is the final mountain in the Villars ski area, Les Chaux, above Gryon, with an entertaining mix of reds, blacks and blues served by a long chair and a draglift.
Off-piste routes abound in Villars without going far afield: much of the skiing is below the tree line and some of the forest is open to skiers, while the bowls are broken up with unpisted steeper areas interspersed with minor cliffs, leaving a significant portion of the terrain untamed but available for skiing off-piste.
Possibly the most family-friendly aspect of the skiing in Villars is the return to base with all routes taking gentle, meandering forest paths right back into the village. These runs between cosy chalets give a sense of skiing as it used to be, and the main path into the village now has snowmaking over its full eight-kilometre length. The piste grooming regime covers blue runs each night, reds every other, and blacks not at all.
The choice of train or gondola from Villars to the pistes is your first decision of the day. The trains leave every 30 minutes from the centre of the village and take about 15 minutes to meander up the mountain. With a number of stops at hotels and mountain restaurants on the way, this choice is nothing if not convenient.
The gondola is easily accessed from the village centre by means of the excellent and frequent free bus service and is a seven-minute ride to the top. The first run down from the top station is a red, so beginners are better off taking the train.
Once you've arrived at the Bretaye hub, the region is opened up by chairlifts linking the four main peaks interspersed with draglifts. However, throughout the main Villars-Barboleuse-Gryon ski sector, there is not a single ski run which necessitates use of a drag lift: every descent can be reached by using the train, two gondolas or a choice of two, four and six-person chairlifts.
Les Diablerets ski lift system, on the other hand, is almost all draglifts, while the glacier is reached either by two long cable cars or a shorter one followed by a chairlift. Right up top on the constantly shifting ice-field, draglifts are more prominent since these work best on glacier terrain.
Although the Roc d'Orsay gondola from the village is the most obvious route to the glacier, you can also take the train from the village to the main skiing hub of Bretaye and start from there. This involves slightly less skiing but given that the gondola is faster than the train, it amounts to roughly the same journey time to the glacier.
Any all-areas Villars ski pass, for three or more consecutive days includes access to both glacier cable cars and lifts as well as an extra 100 kilometres of ski slopes at the neighbouring ski areas of Leysin and Les Mosses, which are easily reached by car or public transport.

With the beginner-friendly train providing easy access to the upper mountain and the gentle return routes to the village, Villars is an excellent place to learn to ski or snowboard, though less so when busy at weekends or peak season. But the views and winter-holiday ambience of the area (not a given in many resorts with otherwise good novice terrain) should conspire to leave you wanting more.
The beginner terrain on the edges of Villars is ideal when there's decent snow; higher up at Bretaye, there's a nursery slope with a magic carpet. And once you've mastered the basics, a network of blue runs lies between two of the four peaks, making the main bowl a good place to graduate from the nursery slopes. For 2011-12, two specially designated "Ski Slow" pistes were introduced to help those progressing from novice to intermediate slopes. One is on the blue Chaux Ronde slope and the other on the Gryon side below the restaurant at Les Chaux.
For absolute beginners, there are two free beginners areas with a magic carpet and mini-ski lift in the heart of Villars (behind the railway station) and another one in Gryon at Frience, with a "sledge" lift and mini-ski lift. Both are free and avoid the cost of a ski pass or train or gondola ticket.

Without the almost endless mileage associated with the biggest piste-bashing resorts, Villars' terrain delivers good skiing for intermediates with variety and good scenery in a mixture of forested skiing and sheltered, friendly bowls. Families and mixed groups can try tours that take in the skiing above Les Diablerets, both on the small ski domain above the village to north and south and on the glacier, though it makes quite a big day out.
Less far afield, the majority of the skiing is easily accessed from the Roc d'Orsay gondola; it's almost all red or blue from here over to Chaux Ronde and the couple of black runs have easier alternatives to choose if it all looks too much; it's a similar story on Les Chaux. Most of the red runs are slightly over-graded, so the entire area is within the grasp of most skiers.
On the glacier, everyone should try the Combe d'Audon, a long descent running from the high glacier and well away from the lifts, with striking views and a big mountain feel.
And at the end of the day, after a quick espresso at the reggae bar at the top of Chaux Ronde, a non-stop run through Bretaye and onwards down to the village on the path with the new snow-making is a glorious way to finish.
Villars is not traditionally where you come for serious skiing. But a day or two exploring the tougher pistes and the Diablerets glacier, followed by some guided off-piste works well, particularly if you are holidaying with a mixed-ability group. The main restriction is the limited vertical, with the village at 1,300m and the high point at 2,120m; it's no wonder people are drawn to the 3,000m glacier, for both snow conditions and a couple of runs of substantial length.
Of Villars' black runs, the most sustained is from Les Chaux, through the trees below the Sodoleuvre chair; better still are the (unpisted) trees to the far side of the lift. From the Croix des Chaux are a black and red down to Alpes des Chaux and the other peaks - Chaux Rondes and Chamossaire - have modest black runs.
The glacier pistes (but not the cost of the cable cars) are automatically included on any ski pass for three or more consecutive days - this also includes the neighbouring resorts of Les Mosses and Leysin, which between them offer an extra 100km of runs. On a one or two-day ski pass, designed for week-enders who rarely have time for a glacier excursion, the glacier ski pass price has been deleted to achieve a more attractive tariff.
It takes about an hour and three quarter to reach the glacier from Villars. You get there by taking the Roc D'Orsay gondola, the Chaux Ronde chairlift, and then the long, flat chairlift to Les Diablerets (a 14-minutes ride which allows you to sit back and enjoy the view!). Next comes the Laouissalet draglift to the Meilleret slopes from where you can ski down to Les Diablerets Village. From here you need to take the shuttle bus to the Col du Pillon (every half hour, and included in your ski pass). From the Col du Pillon, it's a 20-minute ride by two cable cars to the top of the glacier. But don't leave it too late to get back - the resorts suggests no later than the 2.30 bus back to Les Diablerets from the Pillon cable car base station.
A greater percentage of Les Diablerets' holidaymakers head over to the Villars-Gryon sectors of the ski area because they get many more lifts and pistes for their money than Villars' visitors heading in the opposite direction and because skiers from Villars to Les Diablerets using the long chairlift have to walk to get to the main Les Diablerets' slopes.
There are snowparks beneath the Croix des Chaux and Chaux Ronde in Villars; Les Diablerets has a halfpipe and a funpark but nothing on the glacier. The number of draglifts rather than awkward flats in the terrain is the main problem for boarders.
The quality of the mountain restaurants above Villars is good news, but they're often very well subscribed and in high season need to be booked. A great lunch can be had at the Golf, where there's just one sitting so you can time lunch to suit your ski plans. The chef picks up the day's ingredients down in the valley each morning, so the day's special is always good. Most of the other (non self-service) restaurants have two sittings and at set times.
A recent addition to the on-mountain dining possibilities is L'Etable. The restaurant has been built into a converted stable and people are travelling from near and far to eat here. Located just above the Sodoleuvre lift station on the way up to Les Chaux, L'Etable is easiest to reach on skis. But it's also accessible to non-skiers and the effort is well worthwhile.
More functional and with higher capacity, the restaurant and self-service at Les Chaux is in a big well appointed timber building which even has facilities for disabled skiers. The self-service has a raised enclosed fire round which you can sit on high stools to eat.
There are plenty more options at Bretaye - L'Hotel du Lac with a south facing terrace and the recently opened Cookie Cafe for instance.

Though it has grown over the years into rather more than a quaint, traditional Swiss mountain village, the still-small town of Villars has charm in plenty. The wooden chalets set between trees, a sunny, south facing aspect and the dominating but magnificent Club Med all hark back to the turn of the century. The gondola above the village to the west is still within easy reach of the village centre and everything else, including the local nursery slopes and the mountain railway, is unlikely to be more than a 10-minute walk from wherever you are.
The centre has a street lined with shops, bars and restaurants; though there's no pedestrianised zone (much as the village would like one), the town is pleasant to stroll through in the evenings. There are terraced and indoor cafes, bars and restaurants but much of the dining in Villars takes place in-hotel.
The sense of security in Villars is palpable. There is no hint of graffiti, there's a friendly "bonjour" from everyone you pass and the police knock off at 7pm. Even the village fox feels safe enough to sit in the middle of the road of an evening.[UmbracoContentMacro Index="0" ]
Villars Apres-Ski
Don't go looking for action up on the mountain in Villars - it's just not that kind of place, but in town there are several bars and a handful of nightclubs. The first refreshment after the pistes should be taken at L'Arrivee bar in the road behind the Eurotel. Run for many years by the distinguished ice hockey player of yore Roger Chappot and his wife serve a fine selection of wines. Rumour has it that they haven't put their prices up in ten years as it would be too complicated. Sadly, L'Arrivee is not always open on Mondays and Tuesdays.
For drinks try Charlie's Bar, in the centre of town, which has pool tables and a trendy vibe; Le Blues Bar at Rotisserie des Alpes next to the train station, Le Green at Hotel Golf for a pleasant in-hotel bar or Murphy's Bar which is a bit further up the road near the Hotel Bristol. Murphys is distinguished by its panoramic views over the valley. A fusion of ancient and modern design, the Moon Boot is ideal for the more mature tippler.
Villars Restaurants
The best Villars hotels have restaurants of appropriate quality; try the 4-star Hotel La Renardiere's restaurant for an exceptional meal though naturally not cheap. At the other end of the scale, for pizza, Le Francis in the centre of town is good.
Outside the main hotel restaurants La Cantina del Toro, La Pizzeria and La Toscana restaurants are recommended and all three are conveniently situated in the centre of Villars, adjacent to Charlie's Bar and the El Gringo disco - a few drinks in Charlie's, then choose any of these restaurants for good Mexican or Italian food before dancing the night away at El Gringo.
The Vieux Villars is an interesting mix of excellent traditional Swiss cuisine, take your fondue here perhaps, and Chinese cooking if you have a taste for the more exotic. Another option in the centre of Villars next to the railway station is the La Rotisserie des Alpes with two restaurants - Le Petit Chalet and Le Bistrot Cafe Bar - and Le Blues Bar. Sit outside if the weather is good or you're particularly hardy.

Divorcing in a Facebook World (Part 3): 5 Simple Steps Forward
As I stated before in my previous posts, living in today's Facebook world means that there are new challenges to any person who is going through a relationship struggle. It is especially difficult if you find yourself in a separation and/or divorce. Stresses are magnified and a complicated process can get even bumpier.
My previous posts about divorcing in a Facebook world:
5 Simple Steps Forward
I want to offer simple steps that you can take in order to navigate this time in your life successfully and keep the collateral damage to a minimum.
#1: Take a Facebook Time Out
The best thing you can do early on in a relationship crisis is to take a deep breath and step away from the Facebook flood. Taking a bit of time and going offline is freeing. Go for more walks, more coffee visits, connect with people around you who aren't just behind another screen.
It may save you from prematurely de-friending all of your in-laws or posting hate-filled/cryptic messages to your common connections.
#2 – Set a Facebook Curfew
Once you are ready to engage on Facebook again, be sure to set some boundaries about your online activity. Consider abandoning any late-night browsing. It can be costly.
Not only do you risk reacting to others and posting careless emotional comments, but you've probably ruined a good night's sleep by not turning off your brain. Pick a reasonable hour and challenge yourself to go offline a good hour before laying your head on a pillow. A fresh mind and body are necessary to successfully walk this leg of life's race.
#3 – Vent Elsewhere – There's an App for that
Choose to talk through your emotions somewhere else other than your Facebook timeline. You may have a friend who is walking the journey with you, but they probably have their own lives and can't be there every moment to hear the latest updates and daily frustrations.
I recommend downloading a journaling iPhone app like Momento. It let's you easily record short thoughts/moments. You may not realize it at the time, but taking this simple step can keep your thoughts from circling.
From experience I can also tell you that looking back on those messages feels encouraging now because I can see how far I've come and I can thank God for very specific moments of provision & strength. It's sometimes easy to forget the little things that God did in the middle of the storm.
#4: Find a Trusted Texting Companion
Another great solution to help with the daily unexpected emotions is to find a friend who is willing to carry some of that burden by simply texting you and receiving texts. Someone who doesn't mind getting random rants, outbursts and awkward play-by-play announcements. Tell this friend that they don't have to solve your problems. They just need to listen (so to speak) and be a support.
It's really important, however, that they are a trusted, mature person. A pastor, mentor or even a fellow church-member. Definitely not an immediate family member who is too close to the situation. You don't want to cause unnecessary resentment and anger.
#5: Play the movie
Finally, Dr. Henry Cloud, in his book 9 Things you simply must do to be successful in love and life, has a memorable way of explaining that successful people make decisions based on subsequent consequences. They "Play the movie," meaning that they think about how today's actions and words will play out tomorrow, next month, and in the years to come. Thinking about the effects of a decision help you prepare, and maybe avoid future challenges.
Think about how your angry post about or at your spouse/ex-spouse hinders any healthy steps toward healing or hurts your attempts at reconciliation. Think about how your children will view your character, or the emotional burden that you've put on them by dumping on their parent. What are you teaching them?
Remember: Think twice. Post once.
See also 'Five Facebook no-no's for Divorcing Couples' by Time Magazine.
A last word: You can choose
One challenge I didn't anticipate, while writing these posts is that I may be quickly judging those of you who have already made false starts on your journey. It's obviously hard to take back words that have been posted on Facebook. So for you, I would say that today is a new day.
You can choose to forgive yourself for yesterday's mistakes. You can choose to seek forgiveness from anyone you may have hurt. You can also choose to start fresh today.
A hidden blessing in life is that you always have a choice to live today better than yesterday. You can't control other people and their reactions, but you can choose to be proactive and make your own steps forward. Today can be filled with fresh opportunities to change for the better or you can live defeated and reactionary to the negative world around you. It's your choice.
My hope is that you will choose to take control of the one thing you are responsible for, yourself. So if you are walking through relationship challenges today or find yourself in a separation and or a divorce, then please consider taking right steps so that you can navigate this storm in your life.
The real last word comes from the ancient book of Philippians, found in the New Testament of the Bible.
Phil. 4:13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength."

Pope Francis asks God to bring UAE 'peace and fraternal solidarity' on historic trip
Pope Francis met leaders of the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi on Monday, the first time a pontiff has ever set foot on the Arabian Peninsula.
Writing in the royal palace's guest book in Abu Dhabi, Francis asked that God grant the UAE "divine blessings of peace and fraternal solidarity".
The Emirates has a significant population of foreign workers who are Catholics, from countries such as the Philippines and India, with nine Catholic churches.
On Monday Francis is set to address an interfaith conference, while on Tuesday he is set to take mass in an Abu Dhabi sports stadium in front of an estimated 135,000 people.
The UAE is currently fighting in Yemen as part of a Saudi-led coalition that has been accused of war crimes.
It is also locked in a dramatic feud with its neighbour Qatar, which - along with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt - it has placed under a blockade.
Expressions of support for Qatar in the UAE can result in a jail sentence of up to 15 years and fines of $136,000.
Ahead of the trip, Vatican officials said it was not clear whether the pope would address the war in Yemen with Emirati leaders on his three-day trip.
However he brought up the conflict, which has taken tens of thousands of lives and pushed millions to the brink of famine, in a sermon on Sunday, in which he urged all sides to implement a ceasefire deal and allow aid to pass unhindered.
"Let us pray strongly because they are children who are hungry, who are thirsty, they don't have medicine and they are in danger of death," he said.
As the pontiff arrived at the royal palace in Abu Dhabi on Monday he was met with a flyover of jets leaving streams of yellow and white, the colours of the Vatican's flag.
The trip has been warmly received by media in next-door Saudi Arabia.
Arab News called the meeting between the UAE's de-facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed and the pope "the moment that made history on the Arabian Peninsula."
The English-language paper said Muslim and Catholic officials said Saudi Arabia could follow suit in the future and host the pontiff.
Francis has said he hopes the trip to the UAE will turn "a new page in the history of relations between religions".

Sony Picture Classics presents
Manny: What if we were in Italy? That would make us Italian, right? Or we could be French girls living in Italy, just enjoying the food or the lifestyle...
DVD ReviewIn this uncertain day and age, the definition of "family" continues to broaden. Times of war, economic strife and social unrest often throw strangers together, and inspire lasting, meaningful unions. Manny and Lo, Lisa Krueger's off-kilter comedy-drama, takes that idea to the extreme, as it depicts a truly unconventional family unit, spawned not by mutual affection and consent, but—of all things—a kidnapping.
No, this isn't the Patty Hearst story, although the victim's sympathy with her captors' plight does indeed forge the relationship. On the contrary, it's a very simple tale of two young sisters on the run—sweet-tempered, 11-year-old Manny (Scarlett Johansson) and sour, hormone-enraged, 16-year-old Lo (Aleksa Palladino). After their alcoholic mother dies, the destitute girls are shuttled off to less-than-perfect foster homes, but manage to escape their domestic hells and reunite. From then on, they aimlessly roam the community in their mother's broken-down station wagon, dodging cops, stealing food from convenience stores, and sleeping in a builder's model home. All the while, they follow Lo's #1 rule: "Keep moving and you won't get nailed."
It's hardly a life, but it's about to get worse. When Manny notices her sister packing on a few extra pounds, Lo blames it on their junk food diet. But it soon becomes apparent a baby is on the way, and when Lo inquires about an abortion, a kindly health care worker takes one look at her ballooning waistline and turns her down flat. At first, the girls try to prepare for the big event themselves, but the usually tough, independent Lo quickly realizes childbirth is one problem she can't tackle alone. Harsh times call for drastic measures, so while shopping in a baby boutique, the sisters spy frumpy Elaine (Mary Kay Place), a curt, know-it-all clerk who seems to be a walking encyclopedia of baby knowledge—and the perfect choice for Lo's maternity savior. They return to the shop at closing time and kidnap Elaine at gunpoint, then cart her off to their current hideout, an abandoned woodland cabin miles from the nearest main road.
The frightened yet stubborn Elaine initially adopts a defiant attitude. She refuses all food (of course, she's only offered Lucky Charms) and talks about her impending rescue by her vast network of sure-to-be-frantic family and friends. But as considerable time goes by and no one comes to claim her, Elaine begins to wonder whether anyone misses or cares for her at all. Meanwhile, Lo's delivery date draws near, making Elaine feel needed for the first time in her life. She cooks, cares for, and counsels the girls, who begin to form a tenuous attachment to this unlikely surrogate mother.
The blurb on the disc's packaging terms Manny and Lo a "juvenile version of Thelma and Louise," and although parallels can be drawn, Krueger's film possesses a much lighter feel and more depth. Still, there's really no story, just a situation, which works both for and against the movie. The good news is the lack of plot allows us to focus more intently on the characters, so we can savor nuances and moods, while the bad news is we often crave more than that, hoping the drama will heat up and rivet our attention, rather than continually plod along. Unfortunately, it never really does.
Krueger (who also wrote the script) peppers her quirky, sporadically engaging character studies with some offbeat situations and amusing bits, but the end result seems flat and detached. Such an uncompromising style is typical of independent films, and I appreciate Krueger's courage to go against the grain. But the deathly slow pacing makes it difficult to stay involved in the drama, despite the film's strong, meaningful statements about families and relationships.
While it's easy to quibble about the movie's tone, there's no gray area clouding the performances. All three actresses contribute finely tuned portrayals, with Place a particular standout as the grating, prim, but ultimately maternal Elaine. Rarely is Place offered a leading role, and though her supporting work perks up many a forgettable feature, it's nice to see her flesh out a more substantial character. Johansson and Palladino create a believable sisterly bond, as they bait, protect, and honor each other, while trying to survive the cruddy hand they've been dealt. Their outer strength masks an inner vulnerability that's used sparingly but effectively by Krueger.
Manny and Lo is well directed, well acted, and possesses a lovely visual style, but it didn't move me like I expected and hoped. Many might consider this intimate film a hidden gem, but it left me strangely cold.
Rating for Style: B-
Rating for Substance: B
Image Transfer
Image Transfer Review: The film possesses a typical indie look, with medium grain, soft colors, and a slight, hazy pallor predominating. Clarity is fine during close-ups, but long shots (especially those with busy backgrounds) don't fare as well. Print defects are largely absent, but one or two whoppers jarringly intrude.
Image Transfer Grade: C+
Audio Transfer
Audio Transfer Review: The Dolby Surround track meets expectations, but the dialogue-heavy film gives it little chance to shine. Conversations, many of which are softly spoken, are always easy to understand, and John Lurie's simple music score comes through cleanly. Few ambient effects are employed, so directionality is sketchy at best.
Audio Transfer Grade: B-
Disc ExtrasStatic menu
Scene Access with 28 cues and remote access

Extras Review: Three trailers for other Sony Classics are the only extras offered.
Extras Grade: D
Final CommentsDespite realistic performances, assured direction, and some beautiful moments, Manny and Lo never quite picks up the desired steam. Its thin story and overly deliberate pacing keeps this offbeat comedy-drama from reaching the heights it should have attained. Fans of quirky, independent films will surely want to check this one out, but those with more mainstream taste should steer clear.

The Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel R. Moore announce Thursday a historic decision by the LAPD and its constituencies to promote a female African-american deputy chief. She was also the first black woman with the rank of commander in the police department.
"Regina embodies the spirit of the Los Angeles Police Department with a balance of determination, excellence and heart. "In her new role as Deputy Chief, she will undoubtedly continue that quality work with an emphasis on building bridges, creating healthy communities and fighting crime."- Chief Michel R. Moore
Regina has been in the department for 31 years since 1987 and has been promoted throughout the years with her biggest promotion at the time in 2006 to 1st Captain. Since 2006 Deputy Scott was given a promotion just about every year and a half culmination in her new role as Deputy Chief.
Deputy Scott joined the United States Army right out high school and her daughter is following in her footstep of long-standing service to her country. When asked about her promotion Scott had this to say:
"I am both honored and humbled by this historic promotion. This promotion is more than just me, it is for those who paved the road before me, and those who dare to dream big. I want to thank Chief Moore for having the courage and insight for real change and reform. I am ready to help build trust and help bridge the gap between the police and communities we serve."-Deputy Chief Regina Scott

Tasty Foods
Case Summary (Roxana):
Tasty Foods Corporation was founded in 1995 by Henry Abercrombie. The corporation is a food conglomerate that has major product lines including cereals, frozen dinners, canned sodas and fruit juices. Abercrombie founded the company with a small inheritance and with the idea of producing instant hot cereal. The firm's hot cereal proved to be a success and was well accepted by the consumers. Over the years it grew by its acquisitions and product innovation ideas, expanding considerably over the last 40 years. In addition, Abercrombie proved to be an excellence business person that had a lot of vision and was very business-savvy. When Abercrombie's health started deteriorating, he decided to hire his daughter, Abigail Abercrombie, with plans to have her succeed him eventually as president of the company. Abigail, a Harvard MBA graduate, was hired as a management trainee. She has her own vision about the future of the company which includes introducing new product lines aimed at the athletically-inclined and health-conscious population, in order to maintain the company's market position. Since the company's financial position is still strong, Abigail believes it is the perfect time to enter this market because of recent trends towards healthy lifestyles, especially for low fat and low sodium products and high energy drinks. She firmly believes that the company must follow these trends to avoid losing revenues and market position. For these reasons Abigail and the Marketing and Development departments decide to launch a new athletic drink called "High Energy". After it was developed they found that it contained 5 grams of fat per 8 ounce serving. Considering this value to be high for the target market and realizing it was late in the game to redo the formula, it was decided to launch a "lite" version of the energy drink after an acceptable market share was established. The new "lite" version would contain less calories and less fat. The high energy drink gained small market acceptance in almost two (2) years. After completing a market research that provide the product to be acceptable with 50% less calories and 2 grams of fat per eight ounces, it was decided to start developing the high energy "lite" version that would also provide a foothold in other market sectors such as frozen dinners. To do this they would take advantage of their "lite" drink procedures and develop a "lite" line of frozen pizzas. The new "lite" version of high energy drink was twice as expensive as the regular energy drink. She has asked Group 4 Consulting LLC to analyze the project in order to present finding to Tasty Foods' Executive Committee. The following financial data was utilized as par of the evaluation.
Marketing Cost| $265,500|
Used Equipment Price| $700,000 |

Salvage Value (equipment)| $87,500 (after 4 yrs use)|

Fixed Cost| $190,000|
Variable Cash Operating Cost| $1.25 per unit|
Sales estimated fall due to Cannibalization on High Energy Original if High Energy Lite introduced| 30%| Lower Sales| $80,000 (per year)|
Reduce production cost| $35,000 (per year pre-tax)|

Partisan politics have led to a congressional gridlock. The entire hip hop community has band against the Republican Party, for many of the obvious reasons. Always, the hip hop community flocked to the Democratic Party, and then Barack Obama came.
If Obama wasn't enough to drive the hip hop community into the Democratic column, Donald Trump was. Ironically, Trump was once more popular in hip hop than Obama. But, his policies, and those of his party, have led to major backlash.
Tim Scott, of South Carolina, however, has tried to paint himself as a more reasonable Republican. He already has his opportunity zones, where he had an event. At this event, T.I. and Charlamagne Tha God, a native of South Carolina, got a photo opp with Tim Scott.

Many Yankee fans will remember the gruesome knee injury suffered by ex-Yankees outfielder Dustin Fowler June 29 at Guaranteed Rate Field on the south side of Chicago. Fowler is suing the White Sox and the state agency that manages the ballpark for negligence, per the Chicago Sun-Times.
Fowler, who was traded by the Yankees to the Oakland Athletics in July, is suing because the team and agency failed to secure a metal electrical box attached to a railing down the right field line in the stadium. The outfielder suffered an open rupture of his right patellar tendon after colliding with the railing and electrical box. The injury left him unable to walk, and required him to be carted off the field.
The suit claims that the White Sox and the agency were aware of how unsafe the electrical box was, but did nothing about it. It also states that Fowler suffered "severe and permanent" internal and external injuries along with having to pay large sums in medical bills.
Fowler was injured in his MLB debut, and had to be removed from the game before getting his first plate appearance. He slashed .293/.329/.542 with 13 home runs and 43 RBIs in 70 games with the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders prior to his promotion to the big leagues.
He is expected to make a full recovery from his injury, and has already begun working out in Arizona. The A's Spring Training facility is in Mesa, Arizona, though it is unclear if Fowler is working out there.
The Yankees were able to acquire RHP Sonny Gray from the Athletics in exchange for Fowler, SS/OF Jorge Mateo and RHP James Kaprielian ahead of the 2017 trade deadline. Fowler, Mateo and Kaprielian are ranked as the third, fourth and tenth-best prospects in the A's system, respectively.

All week, we will be sharing updates and reflections from the students and faculty participating in the Sacred Heart Summer Service Food Deserts Program at Josephinum Academy of the Sacred Heart. For more information on Josephinum or Sacred Heart Summer Service, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
By: Sophie and Kate
Today we visited Vincennes Learning Garden on the South Side, where we cleared weeds, shoveled compost and learned about community gardens. Martha and Deb run the garden, which produces beans, tomatoes, peppers and kale. We worked there in the morning and then returned to Josephinum.
After returning to the Jo, we had lunch, and got ready to go downtown for dinner and some sight-seeing.
We visited the Millennium Park Fountain, the Bean, and Willis Tower. We got to enjoy a gorgeous view of the waterfront and spend some time relaxing in Maggie Daley Park. Then, we went to visit the Skydeck on the 103 floor of Willis Tower. At the 103 floor, we all sat down and took photos on the ledge, a glass dome overlooking the Loop.
We ended the night with a stop at Giordano's where we all had the chance to try deep dish pizza. After arriving back in Wicker Park, everyone went to Stan's Doughnut Shop where all got sweet treats.

The last couple of weeks have been stuffed with interesting fixes and great experiences in Moshi, KCMC and Mawenzi, Here are some of my favourite photos.
Monthly Archives: August 2014
Dutch Vital Signs Monitor… ni Shida (is trouble)
Annoying donations – this speeks Dutch only. And they have four of them in the medical icu, that can't be used.
Charging batteries
Educating, teaching and building parts
Some pictures from a great day in Moshi: We fixed an infant warmer, taught nurses how to use the manual suction pump and made new parts for infant incubator with assistance from the orthopedics/prothsis department.
1: KJ is teaching a nurse at the female medical ward how to use the manual suction pump – which was suprisingly challenging, not just for the locals, but also for us (had to read the manual…)
2: Samson from the orthopaedic department at KCMC is preparing a new piece for an infant incubator that we have been working on.
3: The KCMC has a whole department for creating prothesis – the department is actually a Danida donation from the 70, where approx. 70 danes came to Moshi to do development work.
4: We were (here KJ) teaching one nurse from each department of Mawenzi how to use the manual suctionpumpt. The main points are to put water around the lid to close it tightly and fold the tube for vacuum.
5: Nurse is bringing back the suction pump to the department – now working – this pump is useful whenever there's a powercut or when the electrical ones breake (which happens quite often..)
6: This guy spent approx. 1.5 hrs showing me around Moshi as we were lookig for a diode that we needed to fix an infant incubator. People in Moshi are reallyreallyreally helpful

This past quarter Sifted hired two directors to continue our triple digit growth. The new Sifted team includes: Director of Operations, Bryan Droll, and Director of People Operations, Hilary Straw. The expansion of Sifted's team comes as we prepare to maximize our market share in our current markets and plan additional market launches in early 2019.
Director of Operations, Bryan Droll
Bryan Droll, who comes from an operational strategy consulting firm in New York, SSA & Company, has 8 years of experience in Operations Management and Performance Improvement. He will be partnering with city teams to enhance Sifted's operating model for sustainable growth while developing market strategies that elevate Sifted's offerings and execution.
"I'm thrilled to join this innovative team and drive operational excellence initiatives in such a fast-growing company," says Bryan. "Sifted has such an inspiring vision to raise the lunch game and I look forward to implementing improvements over the next year to support their exceptional service."
Director or People Operations, Hilary Straw
Joining Bryan is Hilary Straw. Hilary has over 8 years of experience in HR and people operations. She will be designing and implementing an HR and people operations strategy to scale Sifted to new heights in the coming years. She looks forward to enhancing the protocols and building upon the success of the team so far.
"I am so excited to get an opportunity to put my stamp on such a quickly growing company," says Hilary. "I see the potential of Sifted and its people and know that my knowledge and experience will help it get to the next level. I can't wait to take on the challenge that awaits!"
Director of Culinary Innovation, Kim Tran
In addition to these 3 new hires, last year, Sifted brought on Director of Culinary Innovation, Kim Tran. Kim was a veteran Google chef before making her move to Sifted. In the past 12 months she has helped with creative new menu ideas, synchronizing the kitchen teams across the country, and raising food operations and standards well above industry benchmarks.
Sifted's investment in these new positions is supported by our financial stability due to great quarter over quarter growth. With these hires, we have created a best in class team that will increase our current market penetration and open up new markets for future expansion.

Museums have a great word that they use when they are getting rid of unwanted pieces from their collections: deaccessioning. The spellcheck always flags it, but it is a real word! It means to sell an item from a collection. And that's just what's happening at Halcyon Farm over the weekend of June 27th and 28th.
Stiles is having a Barn Sale, and it's going to be one for the ages, which actually scares us a little bit. Between years of collecting personally and for the decorating business, things have reached a tipping point, and only a barn could hold everything that is being sold!
There is literally something for everyone at the Barn Sale, and it will only take a glance across the vast floor of the barn to see something that you fall in love with. Do you love fabric and textiles? Great! There are bolts of fabrics; from hand-woven silks to hand-printed linens, and almost everything in between.
How about china? We have whole sets and single pieces! And don't get us started on the glassware… there are glasses for almost every drink that you can think of, and probably some you can't.
Not only are we using the top section of the barn, but we're filling the stalls as well!
There will be lamps, pictures and frames, auction catalogs, table linens, wicker and furniture. Oh, and you might see our miniature horses hanging out in their stalls, too. But we're keeping them and they won't be for sale.
Saturday, we are advertising as first dibs. The earlier you get to the sale (after it opens, of course!), the better chance you will have to get exactly what you want. On Sunday, after noon, we're advertising great bargains. We need to clear out the barn, so will be wheeling and dealing!
We're pretty sure it's going to be a huge event, so we're putting a couple of "rules" in place.
- Our friends from the Chestnut Ridge Volunteer Fire Department will be helping us with traffic control. We are asking that each car make a $5.00 contribution for their efforts, and access to the property will be by car only, no walk-ins.
- The gate opens at 8:30 a.m. but no one will be admitted to the barn until 9:00 a.m. We need to sleep as late as we can – it's going to be a busy couple of days!
- We will be accepting cash and charges only. No checks. Who still writes checks anyway?
- Please bring tote bags and paper to wrap your goods. Hey, if you happen to have a stack of brown paper bags and a week or two of the Wall Street Journal, bring that along, too! We can probably use them!
- We will have some people available to help carry items, and to arrange delivery, but it's up to you to arrange that with them personally. We don't really want to get into the delivery business.
- Please be nice to us and our helpers. It's our first – and probably our last – time for this, and we're all amateurs! Yes, we will be a little slow on the calculator. No, we won't have any more bags with handles. So sorry, there's not a bathroom here (it's a barn!). Be nice and smile at us. We will smile back.
Check our Facebook page, The Barn Sale at Halcyon Farm for more information and pictures! And we hope to see you on the 27th or 28th.
The View From Halcyon Farm is sponsored by Halcyon House Antiques, located at 11219 Greenspring Avenue in Lutherville. For more information visit the Halcyon House website or call 410-828-8889.

Do you need to contribute to a community to be a hacker?
Answer: Yes
I would say no... a lot of the best hackers don't tell people their hackers or make there presence known on forums etc. People can learn at universities how to program and understand about hacking at the same time. Being part of a community does not make you a hacker.
Anyway... i cant see this questionair thing working now.
Best regards,

Free Range Geese From Shropshire - A Victorian TreatWe are delighted to once again to be able to present our beautifully plump Free Range Geese bred by the Brisbourne Family in Nesscliffe, Shropshire, with whom we have worked for many years. The geese are reared free range, grazing fields adjacent to the old A5 which passes through Nesscliffe, they have become quite a local landmark. They graze and roam freely with ad lib supplements of home produced wheat (grown to Farm Assured standards), potatoes and a specially prepared corn ration, without the use of growth promoters and additives.At night the geese are brought indoors, for protection reasons, bedded down daily on fresh straw. Though sheltered at night they are still open to fresh air and natural light. All the geese grow naturally to reach full maturity.Brisbourne Geese are traditionally processed in December for freshness, and the weight range may vary but is always above 5.5kg. Each bird is individually dry plucked and waxed then hung for 7-10 days in a chilled environment to produce a deep and succulent flavour. All birds are dressed and finished by hand.Learn More£95.00

It has been such an emotional week! Some of my closest friends and family members have called me screaming!
I don't think they realized that they were yelling at me….It was just that I happen to be in the way as they were loudly telling the world how angry and afraid they were. I would be lying if I told you that I handled myself with grace and control over the last few days. I have to confess that my family received the wrath of all of my fears and frustrations regarding our future this week as well.
This afternoon after some of the chaos had dissipated; I realized that the one person who should be educated on what's going in the world was not called upon. So, when the phone stopped ringing and the house finally became silent I began to write a letter to the big guy upstairs…..Yep! That's right! It was time to tell God a few things that He must have missed while making His rounds through our neighborhood.
As I began to write I could feel the anger building inside me! So the first words I wrote were, "Where are you God!" Then I put down the pen and said, "Now Lord, I don't want to tell you how to run the world….but, well you had better get down here and help me with these endless medical bills, make sure my husband isn't the next one to be let go from his company and give me some peace from all the yelling!" (At this point I realized I was the only one screaming)…Within minutes my emotions went from anger to fear! My heart pounded as I started to think of what could happen to me and my loved ones if God didn't stop the madness! And it was only after I allowed myself to feel the fear that the tears started to flow and I went from telling God how He needed to run the world to crying out to the Lord to rescue my family and friends from the overwhelming fear that lingers from house to house throughout our city. At this point I bowed my head and prayed, "God there is so many hurting children on the streets and parents suffering because they can't afford to get medical care for their family because they too have no job. Lord help them…help us all"
When I opened my Bible I went directly to the words a special man read to me when I was young and living in fear, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)
Because I truly believe that God uses music to speak to us, I will post this video as well. This girls name is Charice. She expresses so much emotion throughout the song! I love it!!!!

We had agreed to set off at 08:00 to do a long haul as Ray was free from work commitments, a 15 mile boat journey was six hours at the tiller, all enjoyable.
Two miles out of Abingdon we passed Nuneham House which these days is home to World Spiritual Centre UK's Global Retreat Centre. Today it was hosting a 'Peace in the Park' event.
|Nuneham house
Weather although dry was cool again, the lock keeper at Iffley lock announcing that it was " Good weather for November"
|Iffley lock keepers cottage
Being a Saturday there was plenty of traffic after Iffley lock, especially skullers arrowing blindly in each direction which kept us alert. Surprisingly there were plenty of empty moorings between Osney lock and the tall cruiser stopping, low Osney bridge at Oxford. The Thames upper reaches start here with wide open water and the huge Port Meadow on the east bank with grazing cattle and ponies.
Sarah, the lock keeper at Godstow lock, kept narrowboats and cruisers apart locking FL and a 27 ft cruiser separately then locking the cruiser through on it's own leaving MH & FD to come up together.
After getting FL through Eynsham lock we set the lock for FD & MH, we found a suitable spot for the 3 boats to get a bankside position
|FL, Ferndale, Mary H at Eynsham
Sunday- I was up at 06:00 this morning after a wake up cup of tea I checked the weather forecast rain was forecast to start at 09:00. A quick call to early rises Ray & Diane and an early morning cruise before the rain started was decided. We left MH slumbering and set off, MH will catch up later.
|Diane and Sue were jigging to 'Life on the ocean waves....' at Pinkhill lock.
|Similar pose a year ago with Dot (nb Ewn Ha Cul.) without the singing.
The forecast was spot on, it started raining as we pulled in at Bablock Hythe two hours later, not another boat was moored here so we could take our pick. It's cold on the boat at the moment, we are very tempted to light the stove or use the central heating in late July!.....a fleece will do for now. Diane is on Sunday lunch duty today so we can warm up then. Sue reckons we had a preprandial drink in The Ferryman but I'm sure it was IPA.
16:00 we popped to the next door neighbours for Sunday roast, first it was a game of cards, a glass of Belgium beer for the guys and Pimms for the ladies. Dinner was excellent, we played a game of trivial pursuit afterwards which we graciously let our hosts win. Later back onboard FL we succumbed to the cold and the heating came on.

Aries: You will find a moment of pure joy and happiness on Thursday afternoon. Watch carefully for it, because it will likely be sandwiched in between a minute of utter frustration when you try to open the potato chips and another of rage when you realize they're gone.
Taurus: On Wednesday, you know what you want and you're not afraid to get it. You're just worried about the price of gas to drive you there. You could walk, but it's far less impressive as a grand gesture.
Gemini: Don't worry about those bumps in the road, just go slow so you don't rattle your own headlights off. A smooth, wide highway is just around the corner. Pedal? Meet metal.
Cancer: Had a rainy day? Don't worry about looking for the silver lining, check those clouds for hidden travel pockets. There's $20 stashed in there somewhere.
Leo: Wondering if you're heading in the right direction? Don't ask for too many opinions. If Vader ran the Death Star by committee, it would have blown up during the opening credits.
Virgo: Hang on buddy, where's the fire? Slow down a bit and enjoy your day. If you can't do that, then head to a bar and stop, drop and roll. At least you'll meet some interesting people on the floor.
Libra: If you love something, set it free, but only if it's an annoying person or a frog. The likelihood of your wide-screen TV or laptop coming back to you is very slim indeed.
Scorpio: Your love life is about to perk up, so buy some whipped cream and an egg beater tonight. Don't cheap out and try to use the electric mixer; that will only lead to an embarrassing moment at the doctor's office tomorrow.
Sagittarius: You've been jumpier than Rupert Murdoch at a pie-baking contest. Take a few hours off and watch a few "Gilligan's Island" reruns. Everything's better with coconuts. And maybe a little Ginger.
Capricorn: Can you handle the truth? The answer is no, because the timer hasn't gone off yet. Enjoy your last crumbs of delusion, then take the truth out of the oven with some heat-resistant mitts.
Aquarius: Blame is like a muumuu. You think it fits everyone, but it really doesn't look good on anyone. Quit throwing it over people's heads and let them dress themselves.
Pisces: The tough times you can handle, it's the good times that screw you up. Come out from underneath the couch, because success is at your door and it knows you're home. Time to step up and enjoy the limelight.
