Investors warm to Michigan's debt since Detroit bankruptcy filingBy Bloomberg
Michigan municipalities are selling the most bonds since July, showing investors are warming to the state's debt after Detroit's record bankruptcy led to the postponement of at least $131 million of deals. Localities from Michigan are offering $88 million of debt this week, data compiled by Bloomberg show. They are selling as the extra yield buyers demand on Michigan general obligations is down 30 percent from a record set last month. This week's issuers included an economic-development agency in Wayne County, home of Detroit, which sold $17 million for a retirement community. The bonds didn't have a rating, placing them among the riskiest part of the $3.7 trillion municipal market. The sale followed Genesee County's $35 million deal, the biggest since Detroit sought court protection on July 18. The county seat is Flint, which also has a state-appointed emergency manager. "People have had more of a chance to digest the meaning of the Detroit story and differentiate it from other deals out there," said Bill Ahern, who oversees $80 million of Michigan funds from Boston at Eaton Vance Management. "There's a short memory in this market." Normality returnsThe rebound following Detroit's $18 billion bankruptcy is the latest example of how local signs of distress have failed to derail municipal borrowing. Demand for Michigan debt waned after Detroit's emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, took the unprecedented step in June of attempting to impose losses on general-obligation holders as part of a plan to fix the city's finances. Michigan's situation mirrors how California's market stabilized after Stockton, San Bernardino and Mammoth Lakes sought court protection last year. Relative borrowing costs for localities in the Golden State reached a six-month high after the filings, and have since fallen to the lowest since 2008. Investors demand 0.53 percentage point more to own Michigan general-obligation bonds instead of benchmark munis, Bloomberg data show. That's down from a 2013 high of 0.75 percentage point on Aug. 20. The bond sales and narrowing yield spread also validate Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder's stance that bond buyers would eventually differentiate Detroit's situation from other localities in the state. Genesee County and Battle Creek issued debt in the past week after delaying deals in August. Sara Wurfel, a Snyder spokeswoman, didn't return an email seeking comment on the issuance rebound. Payback planGenesee's postponement paid off for its taxpayers. The locality put its Aug. 1 water-revenue bond deal on hold "to achieve a more competitive interest rate," Jeff Wright, who's responsible for the county's water supply as drain commissioner, said in a statement. The deal this week will save millions of dollars relative to what the county would have had to pay in August, according to the statement. The obligations, which will help finance land and facilities to add water supplies from Lake Huron, still came at a higher-than-average cost. The portion maturing in 10 years was priced to yield 4.03 percent, compared with 3.87 percent on benchmark A rated revenue bonds. The county's debt has an A+ rating from Standard & Poor's and was backed by Build America Mutual Assurance Co., which carries an AA grade, third-highest. Unrated riskIn Wayne County, proceeds from the agency's $17 million sale will fund construction of housing for seniors, part of a community to be called The Rivers of Grosse Pointe. Unrated bonds default more than 30 times more frequently than debt that carries a credit rank, according to a study from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Tax-free securities maturing in December 2043 priced to yield 8 percent, equivalent to a 13.3 percent taxable interest rate for individuals in the highest federal income bracket. "These deals are certainly coming at wider spreads than you would expect from other states' bonds," Ahern said. "There's still some taint on them. Over time, that will continue to dissipate." Other localities opted to avoid the market. Muskegon County sold $39 million of general obligations this month directly to Capital One Financial Corp. through a private placement. Tatiana Stead, a spokeswoman for McLean, Va.-based Capital One, the lender that gets more than half its revenue from credit cards, didn't return an e-mail seeking comment on the transaction. Ripple effectThe county of 170,000 about 200 miles west of Detroit will use the proceeds to fund a new jail and juvenile transition center, said Heath Kaplan, finance and management services director. The bonds have an interest rate of 4.75 percent and an average life of 13 years, he said. "Our first plan was to do a negotiated sale," Kaplan said in an interview. The county board mandated an interest rate no higher than 5 percent, and "once we saw the bankruptcy cause a ripple effect across the market, we had to go back to the drawing board," he said. In the week ahead for the Michigan market, Capac Community School District and Bad Axe Public Schools plan to offer a combined $9.3 million of debt, Bloomberg data show. The past week suggests the schools will find buyers. "There's no doubt that the Michigan market is starting to thaw out," said Adam Mackey, head of municipal fixed income in Philadelphia at PNC Capital Advisors, which oversees $6.5 billion in munis. "There was obviously this period after Detroit where investors were trying to figure out what pledge they had, and where they stood in Michigan." Market rallyLocalities from Virginia to New Mexico are selling $4.2 billion in long-term debt this week, down from $5.8 billion last week. Benchmark 10-year munis yield 2.94 percent, the lowest in a month, after declining for eight straight trading sessions, the longest streak since December. The interest rate compares with 2.69 percent for similar-maturity Treasuries. The ratio of the yields, a gauge of relative value, is about 109 percent, compared with an average of 93 percent since 2001. The higher the figure, the cheaper munis are compared with federal securities. Topics in this article: Bankruptcy

First off, Hey everyone, this is my first post on this site, but I was wondering how I came to have an account and it appears to be here from when I use to do maps for SC2 :D
Ok, so my ideas are pretty much what I would like to see as forms of small DLC, even though we know it's not going to be like that. For example small questline's mini additions to the game.
Now to the meat, my first idea was of a small guild, maybe not even to the class of Guild, but a secret society of archers, like the companions, but mixed with the dark brotherhood. Straight away people may say 'There's no need for that' but this is what I would like to see and I am sure others would aswell. For now, we will call these guys 'The Arrow'.
The Arrow
A small band of archers camped in some area of the forest quite desolate but the area cannot be found unless you know where it is. Hidden by magic. The leaders of the archers are proficient in illusion which hides their camp away. They work in secret, taking out groups of people from bandits to high profiling figures who 'they' believe are a threat to society. All within in, are imbued with a special magic which lets them control the arrow to precision. - As far as story is concerned. Lots of work to do - As for the chunk of stuff that needs to be done here's a list:
A few new bows New types of arrows Daggers New outfits, made from a mix of the thieves guild armour, cloaks, and hoods, very thin. Some new spells, some kind of control method for controlling arrows? (Advanced-later addition) New scenary objects, new enemies ;D!
Second idea!
More of an addition to the College of Winterhold, A simple questline like that of Mages Guild in Oblivion.
The Staff of Choice
After reaching profficient status in guild and achieving 'X' level questline opens where the player can go to a mysterious isle just off the coast where magical beings thrive, etc so on. The place is magic crazy. The forest there has a special type of wood which is great for staffs. Questline, go to isle get staff shit, other quests aswell revolving around isle. Choose your enchantments design etc. Only once!
New Staff Models, parts, designs, colours etc. Enchantment selection. Series of quests, new landmass etc.
Anyway that's all. Sorry for long read, any feedback additional ideas would be great!
Check out my Team, for some pictures of my current map project :)

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Find out how we produce our information|
This information is about a chemotherapy| treatment for breast cancer| called EC.
EC is named after the initials of the chemotherapy drugs used, which are:
EC treatment can usually be given to you as a day patient. Before you start treatment, you'll need to have a blood test on the same day or a few days beforehand. You'll also be seen by a doctor, specialist nurse or pharmacist. If the results of your blood test are normal, the pharmacy will prepare your chemotherapy drugs|. All of this may take a couple of hours.
The nurse will insert a thin, flexible tube (cannula) into a vein in your hand or arm. You may find this uncomfortable or a little painful, but it shouldn't take long. Some people have their chemotherapy given through a thin, plastic tube that is inserted under the skin and into a vein near the collarbone (central line|) or passed through a vein in the crook of their arm (PICC line|). Your doctor or nurse will explain more about this.
You'll be given some anti-sickness (anti-emetic)| drugs as tablets or more usually by injection through the cannula, central line or PICC line, which is often connected to a drip (infusion) to flush the drugs in.
The chemotherapy drugs are then given separately:
This will usually take about an hour or more.
Although the epirubicin is often given first, the order in which the drugs are given won't alter their effectiveness.
If you're having your treatment as a day patient you can then go home when it's finished. The cannula will be removed before you go. If you have a central or PICC line it will usually stay in place ready for the next cycle of your chemotherapy. You'll be shown how to look after the line.
You'll be given a supply of anti-sickness drugs to take home with you. It's important to take these regularly, as directed, even if you aren't feeling sick. This is because some anti-sickness drugs are much better at preventing sickness than stopping it once it starts.
Your doctor may use the word 'regimen|' (eg the EC regimen) when talking about your chemotherapy. This refers to the whole plan or schedule of the particular treatment you're receiving.
On the first day of your treatment you'll be given epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (as described). After this you'll have a rest period with no chemotherapy for three weeks. This completes what is called a cycle of your treatment.
After the rest period the same drugs will be given to you again, which begins the next cycle of your treatment. Usually 4–6 cycles are given over a period of 3–4 months.
This makes up a course of treatment.
Each person's reaction to chemotherapy is different. Some people have very few side effects while others may experience more. The side effects described here won't affect everyone who is having EC chemotherapy.
We have outlined the most common side effects but haven't included those that are rare and unlikely to affect you. If you notice any effects that aren't listed here, discuss them with your doctor, chemotherapy nurse or pharmacist.
EC can reduce the number of white blood cells, which help fight infection. White blood cells are produced by the bone marrow|. If the number of your white blood cells is low you'll be more prone to infections|. A low white blood cell count is called neutropenia.
Neutropenia begins seven days after treatment, and your resistance to infection is usually at its lowest 10–14 days after chemotherapy. The number of your white blood cells will then increase steadily and usually return to normal before your next cycle of chemotherapy is due.
You'll have a blood test before having more chemotherapy to check the number of white blood cells. Occasionally, your treatment may need to be delayed if the number of your blood cells (blood count) is still low.
EC can reduce the production of platelets, which help the blood to clot. Tell your doctor if you have any unexplained bruising or bleeding, such as nosebleeds, bleeding gums, blood spots or rashes on the skin. You may need to have a platelet transfusion| if your platelet count is low.
EC can reduce the number of red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. A low red blood cell count is called anaemia. This may make you feel tired and breathless|. Tell your doctor or nurse if you have these symptoms. You may need to have a blood transfusion| if the number of red blood cells becomes too low.
Your doctor can prescribe very effective anti-sickness (anti-emetic) drugs to prevent or greatly reduce nausea and vomiting. If the sickness isn't controlled, or if it continues, tell your doctor; they can prescribe other anti-sickness drugs that may be more effective.
Some anti-sickness drugs can cause constipation|. Let your doctor or nurse know if this is a problem.
Feeling tired| is a common side effect of chemotherapy, especially towards the end of treatment and for some weeks after it's over. It's important to try to pace yourself and get as much rest as you need. Try to balance this with some gentle exercise, such as short walks, which will help. If tiredness is making you feel sleepy, don't drive or operate machinery.
This usually starts 3–4 weeks after starting treatment, although it may occur earlier. Hair usually falls out completely. You may also have thinning and loss of eyelashes, eyebrows and other body hair|. This is temporary and your hair will start to grow again once the treatment has finished. Your hair may grow back straighter, curlier, finer, or a slightly different colour than it was before. Your nurse can give you advice about coping with hair loss|.
Scalp cooling| is a method of reducing hair loss that may be helpful for some people. You can ask your doctor or nurse if it's available at your hospital.
Your mouth may become sore or dry|, or you may notice small ulcers during this treatment. Drinking plenty of fluids, and cleaning your teeth regularly and gently with a soft toothbrush, can help reduce the risk of this happening. Some people may find sucking on ice soothing.Tell your nurse or doctor if you have any of these problems, as they can prescribe mouthwashes and medicine to prevent or clear mouth infections.
You may notice that food tastes different|. Normal taste usually comes back after treatment finishes. A dietitian or specialist nurse at your hospital can give you advice about ways of coping with this side effect.
Epirubicin can cause a rash or dry skin, which may be itchy. Your doctor can prescribe medicine to help with this. Areas of skin that have previously been treated with radiotherapy may become red and sore. Let your doctor know if this happens.
The skin over the vein used for the injection may become discoloured. Your skin may darken due to the excess production of pigment. It usually returns to normal a few months after the treatment has finished.
Cyclophosphamide may irritate your bladder|. It's important to drink as much fluid as you can (at least two litres) during the 24 hours following chemotherapy to help prevent this.
Epirubicin is red and, as a result, your urine may become a pink-red colour. This is normal and can last up to 48 hours after your treatment. Let your doctor know if you have any discomfort when you pass urine, or if you notice any blood in it.
EC can cause diarrhoea. This can usually be easily controlled with medicine, but tell your doctor if it's severe or continues. It's important to drink plenty of fluids if you have diarrhoea|.
The colour of your nails may change. They may become darker and white lines may appear on them. These usually grow out over several months once the treatment has finished.
This is very rare with standard doses of EC but may occasionally occur with high-dose treatment. The muscle of the heart may be affected, usually temporarily. Tests to see how well your heart is working may be carried out before the drug is given, and sometimes before each treatment.
It's important to let your doctor know straight away if you feel unwell or have any severe side effects, even if they're not mentioned above.
Effects when treatment is given Some people have hot flushes, dizziness, a strange taste and a feeling of having a blocked nose when cyclophosphamide is being given. If you have any of these symptoms, ask the doctor or nurse to slow down the drip, as this should reduce them.
Cancer can increase the risk of developing a blood clot (thrombosis), and chemotherapy may increase this risk further.
A blood clot may cause symptoms such as pain, redness and swelling in a leg, or breathlessness and chest pain. Blood clots can be very serious, so it's important to tell your doctor straight away if you notice any of these symptoms. Most clots can be treated with drugs that thin the blood. The doctor or nurse can give you more information.
Some medicines, including those you can buy in a shop or chemist, can be harmful to take when you're having chemotherapy. Tell your doctor about any medicines you're taking, including over-the-counter drugs, complementary therapies| and herbal drugs|.
If this happens when epirubicin is being given, the tissue in that area can become damaged. Tell the doctor or nurse immediately if you notice any stinging or burning around the vein while the drug is being given. This is unlikely to happen if the chemotherapy is given through a central or PICC line.
If the area around the injection site becomes red or swollen at any time, you should tell the doctor or nurse on the ward. If you're at home, ring the clinic or ward and ask to speak to the doctor or nurse.
Your ability to become pregnant or father a child may be affected by having this treatment. It's important to discuss fertility| with your doctor before starting treatment.
It's not advisable to become pregnant or father a child while having EC, as it may harm the developing baby. It's important to use effective contraception while having this chemotherapy, and for at least a few months afterwards. You can discuss this with your doctor.
It's not known whether chemotherapy drugs can be present in semen or vaginal fluids. To protect your partner, it's safest to either avoid sex or use a barrier form of contraception for about 48 hours after chemotherapy.
Due to the effect of chemotherapy on the ovaries, women may find that their periods become irregular and may eventually stop. In some women this may be temporary, but for others it will be permanent. This will result in menopausal symptoms|, such as hot flushes, sweats and vaginal dryness.
There's a potential risk that chemotherapy drugs may be present in breast milk. Women are advised not to breastfeed during chemotherapy and for a few months afterwards.
If you're admitted to hospital for a reason not related to the cancer, it's important to tell the doctors and nurses looking after you that you're having chemotherapy treatment. You should tell them the name of your cancer specialist so that they can ask for advice.
It's a good idea to know who you should contact if you have any problems or troublesome side effects when you're at home. Your chemotherapy nurse or doctor will give you details of who to contact for advice. This should include 'out-of hours' contact details if you need to call someone at evenings, overnight or at the weekend.
This section is based upon our EC chemotherapy fact sheet, which has been compiled using information from a number of reliable sources including:

Happy People: A Year in the Taiga | Movie review
Where has Werner Herzog gone to this time?
The title is crucial: In the solitary routines of Siberian trappers—the indigenous breadwinners of a remote village called Bakhtia—the director of Fitzcarraldo and The White Diamond sees life lived to its fullest. So Herzogian is this encounter at the end of the world that it's a little surprising the great German filmmaker wasn't there for the project's inception. As in the fascinating Grizzly Man, he's reshaped pre-existing material—in this case, a four-hour documentary by Dmitry Vasyukov, made for Russian television—into one of his philosophical tributes to avid outdoorsmen. Organized around the changing seasons, and sprinkled with Herzog's Teutonic-accented ruminations, Happy People captures the hardships and joys of off-the-grid existence.
Among the film's subjects, all candid professionals roughing it in extreme conditions, the most interesting is the bearded, soft-spoken Gennady Soloviev. His eloquent musings provide an emotional center, especially when they touch upon his complicated relationship with animals. (Though he makes his living off hides, Soloviev expresses kinship with his canine companions—and, in a poignant anecdote, grief about the death of two of them at the paws of a bear.) A more probing interviewer than is often suggested, Herzog might have delved even deeper into the private lives of these private men. As he shot not a frame of the footage, his influence over the observational proceedings is limited. Well, relatively speaking: Who but Herzog would present the frigid isolation of Siberia as paradise on Earth?

You actually liked the HSDS 2003 version? I thought it was ok, but not my cup of tea... They really overused the special effects to the point that it became ridiculous. THey also changed the story too much as well.... But that's my opinion...I don't mean to speak so soon, but I don't have high hopes for this remake since I think the China one was already very good. Plus, the 80s version is already a classic so I don' t know if this version even has a chance....
Respect other people's opinions and views. If we learn how to do that than all of these fights and arguments will not occur.
HSDS 03 ws ok at best. Alec is really too toy boy looking and too short in statue.
What made that series watchable was GYY who has such captivating eyes.

well in my opinion i think this version of LOCH will have its good especially with the all star casting... well it can't be worst then ROTCH 06 or LOCH 03, LYP was cool in Number 1 in the World and State of Divinity but in LOCH his portrayal of Guo Jing, he made the character seem retarted... well i guess that was b/c his mother in the series got injured when she was pregnant in the beginning... well usually with the tiawan/china teaming up, the bgm should be good as well as the scenery/costumes/graphics/acting... so far Paladin/Tian wei fei xian was all good... i mean sure the LOTCH 06 wouldn't live upto the classic but it'll make it to the top with the new generation like how someone said earlier... or the 2000 generation teens.. well these shows are just for teens to watch and see people they like on screen... nothings good until you watch it.
i just wanna know who plays Mei Chaofeng >.>
to me...it doesnt matter how u look like to play in the role....
its all depend on ur acting skill..like how u act to fit the character description...if u kno what i mean.
just like ROCH 2006...the guy who play the role of Yang Gou..some ppl think he's good looking yada yada..but his acting skill were horrible.
beside im a Fan of Hu Ge. Ariel Lin is ok...i seen her in It Started with a Kiss. and Tien Wai Fei Xan...she ok? not that bad right?
but cant wait to see this..
Dear Chinese TV producers,
Please get a brain and make some new series. This project is a shame. Even low-standard TVB has the decency to wait at least 10 years to do another round of JY remake. As much as I like Hu Ge, I don't think I will watch this one. What a waste of money.

HXM wasn't that bad...just thought that his dubbed voice was bad...if he had some professional helping him out...it would be better...Originally Posted by KeVinNx
plus, there was his age...if he was really an 18 old boy, then his role as the young yang guo would look good to everyone...
HXM did great after Ep. 10...
I also think HXM is not that bad but the dubbing was indeed a problem esp the screams and laughter and there was way too much overacting on his part. but I can't fault his professional attitude because he was the only one who actually tried to do the dubbing himself, top points for his atitude I feel. He had good acting skills in his earlier dramas but not all of course where his acting was much more natural. The overacting is a weakness he has to try to overcome.Originally Posted by crazylife123
I am just curious, what do you think of HXM and LYF's chemistry as YG and XLN? you can reply me in the ROCH thread instead (seems more appropriate).

Thanks alot for all your help!
cheers to Liu Yi Fei (Main Cast)!!!
You have posted in the wrong thread. This is for remake of LOCH and not ROCH06.
Try looking at the TLBB thread and I'm sure you'll find the song there.

BTW Ariel Lin was great in Tian Wei Fei Xian--a little exaggerated but still adorable and Hu Ge would be believable as honest and naive [Guo Jing is not a dumb character maybe just not witty or clever]...they just need to stick with that "broomstick" hairstyle on his head.
I like me.
I agree with you Pei Er! As much I like Hu Ge and Ariel, another remake of this seris is out of the question... I guess they are really out of ideas....

Le Salon at the Windsor Court Hotel
Online Reservations
Great for mothers/daughters/aunts/grandmothers! Wonderful girls trip brunch. It was beautifully done, service was great and food was delicious. Recommend eating a big breakfast and going for a tea and a light lunch. Went for my mom's birthday and the harpist played happy birthday and dessert came with a candle
My daughters 13th birthday was celebrated at Windsor Court and they made her feel so special. They had a candle on one of the cakes and the harpist played Happy Birthday to her!!! She had a wonderful time and wants to go back again.
The waitress was very attentive and knows all of the teas, and the harpist was excellent!
Beautiful setting and flowers and wonderful live harp music. Desserts aren't as good as we're years ago But were ok. Sandwiches were nice and would have preferred two of each instead of one of each. The fresh fruit plate which my friend requested was excellent and contained plenty of berries and melon. Scones were good; lemon curd and Devonshire cream were divine and excellent. We had a very good waiter and tea was good. Of note, I have tea at Windsor Court about 12-15 times over past 20 years and am a native New Orleanian. . I would return. The cucumber sandwich is my favorite item at brunch!
Everything was very enjoyable. Great service,luxurious atmosphere,delicious treats and tea, truely the place to go to be treated like a Queen~~~
This was not my first trip to La Salon. It was the first trip for the other three with me. My goal is to introduce as many as I can into going there and learning to enjoy a well laid tea. I want people to understand the peace and relaxation that can be enjoyed during tea.
I made the reservation to celebrate a belated birthday for my mother in law and for my daughter to experience the tea before we move back to the east coast. We really enjoyed the afternoon. The service was outstanding; professional, friendly, quick, and warm. The food didn't seem like a lot, but by the time we left we were full. My daughter even liked the salmon sandwiches and she's 6. Thank you for making our day special. I have told a lot of people that they have to go to the Windsor Court for the tea!
We went here for high tea service during a Girl's Weekend and had an absolutely lovely time. Great tea selection and impeccable service. I wasn't a huge fan of the final sweets tray but the sandwiches and scones were good. The Salon itself is beautiful and provides great ambiance.
My boyfriend and I decided to do a Sunday afternoon tea just for fun and we had a wonderful, romantic time. Thank you. We also had a wonderful server. She was very attentive and knowledgeable; unfortunately, I don't remember her name, but she was still very special.
We had a great experience Sunday. EVERYONE went out of their way to make our experence special and memorable. I will do it again soon.
I went to Le Salon for Mother's Day and really enjoyed the experience. The food during the tea could have been a bit better and our table could have been in a better location, but overall it was very nice.
This is a wonderful Mother's Day event. We were really pampered. We never had to call the servers. Service was excellent, ambiance was excellent, food was excellent. The quality and choices of tea was outstanding. Will be back again.
Finest "british style" tea in New Orleans - both drinks and fare were wonderful. The best place to entertain a small group of refined women who appreciate everything first-class.
My fiancée and I enjoyed spending the afternoon in Le Salon. The tea was great and the food was superb! We will be looking to come back again!!
I took my teenaged daughter and the two of us enjoyed an amazing afternoon tea. Every moment was memorable. The service was excellent; the tea selection was fantastic; and the food was decadent. This was an indulgence that we would repeat!
Afternoon tea at Le Salon was a wonderful way to spend my birthday. Our server, Lisa, was just fabulous. Service was great and the food was excellent.
My daughter and I enjoyed Afternoon Tea for her eleventh birthday. We had a wonderful time. The service was excellent and the atmosphere pleasant. We are already planning our return trip to the WIndsor Court for tea.
If one is considering Afternoon Tea while in New Orleans, there is no better place than the Windsor Court. Service is gracious and the food and cocktails are glorious. PLEASE take good note of the fact that there is a 20% gratuity added to your entire check. We did not see that notice,which is in small print on the menu, and left a 25% gratuity for the excellent service. One might think that the server would have mentioned this, but that did not happen. Although the hotel was very amenable to removing the "extra" gratuity, it ended a wonderful experience on a sour note. So... wonderful ambiance, food, and service; as in all things, read the fine print very carefully.
I do not think that drinks should be added to the tea menu. I have no problem offered however.
If you have never had a traditional British afternoon tea and will be in New Orleans, definitely make a reservation at the Windsor Court! It was marvelous - a very nice treat!
I had a bridal tea for my bridesmaids at Le Salon, and I thought that the staff was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed their vast tea selection and for a party of 6 we felt that we had plenty to eat. I felt like it was a good value for what was offered as well as a unique experience. We enjoyed the atmosphere, and I think that everyone had a very good time. We appreciate the staff, and I would recommend tea at Le Salon to anyone who would like to experience afternoon tea.
Tea time was, delightful. Selection of tea was great. Price and value were very good . I aspecialle enjoyed the harpist, very relaxing and soothing atmosphare. Will come again whan in the Big Easy.
Le Salon for tea has beautiful harp music, setting, and food. It's a must if you are going to be in the New Orleans area.
My family and I have attended many teas but this one was the best due to the excellent service provided by Lisa. The atmosphere was relaxed, there was no need to ask for anything, and the friendliness was appreciated. Great experience!
I definitely enjoyed my visit at Le Salon at Windsor Court. The service was great! Everyone was very friendly. The harp playing in the background was beautiful and elegant. Everything I ate was delicious as well as the tea I drank. Overall is was excellent!
We treated 3 little girls to tea with the Princess of Windsor Court and they loved it! We will be back, hopefully for Wonderland Tea next!! :)
Wonderful tea as usual! Everything was delicious and just perfect. From the tea sandwiches to the scones to the desserts. And my son enjoyed the children's tea as much as we enjoyed ours. Thank you for a wonderful meal on our last day at the windsor court!
We have tried afternoon tea in another place , but we always decide on the Windsor Court since going there the first time. The service is great , the food terrific, and the atmosphere is so pleasant. I would recommend it to any of my friends. We have taken a few little girls as young as 5 or 6 and myself who is 70.
Took my daughters and granddaughters for Alice in Wonderland Tea Party. It was lovely as always. Both the restaurant and salon always meet our expectations for service and quality. A new generation is now enjoying the pleasures of the Windsor Court!
We brought the kids for the Alice in Wonderland theme. It was very nice and the children thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It is a very nice experience and I try to go at least every few months. If you can bring your daughters under the ages of 10 during the summer for the theme parties, I believe it would be a better experience. Now it is a nice and beautiful place to have fun with friends and to enjoy tea and the ambience..
This was the first time I took my 5-year old daughter to high tea. This particular weekend was geared towards the young ones and was perfect for her age group. It was so well orchestrated. Alice was superb. It will be an afternoon that she (and I) remember forever.
I absolutely loved the Wonderland themed tea! The ambiance, seating, and noise level were very comfortable. The service was outstanding! Our server was very well-timed and, of course, charming and friendly. I would return in a heart beat to share a wonderful tea service with any companion, young or old.
I have been to tea on several occasions and like to host bridal showers there. I found the food to be inferior to what it was in past. Scones seemed stale or overdone and sweets were not as good as in past. I think I will question it next time before booking another tea.
My friend and I went to Le Salon for the afternoon tea. The place was beautiful, loved the harp playing in the background. There were only 3 other groups with us (all female) and everyone was so well dressed (we were wearing dress and flats and felt a little underdressed). We barely know anything about tea, but our waiter, Eduardo, was very helpful. He gave us suggestions and also explained each item being served to us. The tea we tried were amazing and the food was so delicious (I wish they'd offer second helpings of some of the sandwiches they served us). Eduardo also gave us some suggestions where to go in NOLA. Overall, a great experience! Would love to go back again another season to try different snacks and tea offered.
My mother loved it and we had a wonderful time! She is still telling her friends about how wonderful it was. Also Eduardo was our waiter and he could not have been better. He is a great asset to your service! Sincerely, Margaret Hughes
Went to tea for a friends bday! The harp player was amazing as was the food and service! We will def. be returing for tea again.
The afternoon tea service was splendid. A lovely way to spend a Friday afternoon and to start your weekend. The scones were out of this world - just like home. The portion size is perfect - enough so you get an enjoyable taste, but small enough to allow you to taste everything. Hot, frequent tea. Delicious. I recommend for the food, the ambience and the experience of afternoon tea at its best
Surprised my wife on our 29th anniversary with afternoon tea. Was an absolutely wonderful experience. Service, food, variety of teas to choose from, were all outstanding. It's a great way to score a few brownie points. Highly recommend it!
Took four girlfriends to high-tea, an experience I haven't had since I was 15 (a now deceased Aunt took me for the first time), and an experience neither of my friends had before. We went all out with pearls, white gloves, and masks from the great city of New Orleans. Even with two girls pregnant, we had enough food and tea to fill us up. I would highly recommend Windsor Court, as it holds a personal memory for me. Men, it would be a great place to take a future bride or a place to dine with your in-laws. Ladies, any reason to have a beautiful baby shower, or just to feel like queens, this is the place to go! Thank you to the wait staff, we couldn't have had a better server - he even took time to take pictures of us! Thank you Windsor!
A return trip to the Windsor Court Hotel in New Orleans for English tea turned out to be another extraordinary experience. The ambience is superb...an enormous room opening from the lobby, complete with comfortable furniture and a fireplace. The tea includes a cocktail, individual tea, sandwiches, scones, and sweets, with a pianist providing background music. Service by Eduardo could not have been better. All in all, a memorable, relaxing, elegant and enjoyable time.
Tea time at the Windsor Hotel is elegant yet not stuffy. Over the top beautiful surroundings and creative morsels to munch on that are delish delights. Perfect pots of the most amazing teas to soothe the soul and body.
Lovely tea experience! Beautiful setting, excellent service, wonderful piano music, and delicious food. One of our best teas ever!!
My husband and I went to NOLA for our Honeymoon and had Tea at Le Salon. We ate at many wonderful places for the week we were there, but this was very special, elegant, and one of my favorite moments while there. Worth every penny! It is in a wonderful location, and the decor was to die for! When we return to NOLA for our 5th anniversary we will be staying with this hotel, and having tea there once more!
Wonderful high tea experience at a great price in a beautiful atmosphere. A live harpist capped off the decadent experience!
Great food. Good tea. Lovely comfy environment. Really enjoyed!

For more than 10 years, Antonio Enrique has played a mostly behind-the-scenes role in shaping the message of the local church through the weekly publication of the diocesan newspaper. He has steered The Pilot in strict fidelity to Catholic orthodoxy, in line with his background as a European lay missionary from a controversial religious movement far more conservative than the typical American cafeteria Catholic. "In many respects, many of the opinions voiced seem to be pre-Vatican II,'' said Boston College historian and author Thomas O'Connor, a regular reader of The Pilot.

Counting up all their albums (EPs, LPs and collaborations) since their formation around 1983, the Melvins have unleashed 25 albums on the world. Nude With Boots marks number 26. That's the type of prolific output that might make even old Johnny Cash take note. Admittedly, there's a fair portion of this pool of Seattle sludge that I actually find unlistenable. The experimental, droning warbly "noise" albums they've put out interest me about as much as the big band vocal stylings of Michael Bublé, which is to say not at all. In fact I think they suck. The majority of Nude With Boots is far from the Melvins' "noise experiment" albums of the past, and it certainly doesn't suck.
In fact, it's pretty goddamned good. It comes two years after the band absorbed bass guitarist Jared Warren and drummer Coady Willis for (A) Senile Animal. The duo, otherwise known as Big Business, stuck around for the present album in a rare display of member retention. My initial impression of Nude was that it was pretty good, but not quite as immediately gripping as Animal. The 2006 effort just seemed more raw, more dirty – more METAL – and that's what daddy likes. However, after repeated listens, the follow-up has grown on me. Sure, Nude With Boots is a gentler beast, but the composition is just a little more thoughtful than Animal's organic-sounding affront.
The album itself sounds like the Melvins doing rock 'n roll. For any established Melvins fan, that should be confusing. They've been playing rock 'n roll for a quarter century now, right? Well, yeah, but never with this much emphasis on the "roll" part of the equation. I won't try to guess which bands you'll think these songs owe the most to, but there is a decided early '70s vibe going on here for most of the album. Unfortunately for me, a couple tracks do dip into the "noise" category.
Album opener "The Kicking Machine" is one of the album's strongest tracks. It picks up where Animal left off, but expands on that sound, much as the whole of the album does, in a refreshing but familiar direction. "Billy Fish" rocks hard and "Dog Island" lurches forward, solidifying the top of the album in a trinity of greatness. Sadly, the fourth track kills the momentum.
I'm told that this song "Dies Iraea" is influenced by the Dies Irae, or the Day of Wrath, which is a 13th century hymn with an accompanying melody. The song has found its way into popular culture, perhaps most prominently copped as the intro to the movie The Shining. Fault me if you must, but I don't give a crap. Some fans may get into the dirge-like instrumental, but when it comes to the Melvins, I wanna rock. The misstep of "Dies Iraea" is quickly righted by the slinky "Suicide in Progress," which focuses on Buzz Osborne's vocals instead of the group chorus heard so often lately. An inexplicable 50-second outro that sounds like shifting tectonic plates and the tinkling of silverware against ceramic makes one wonder: "Are these guys fucking with me?" It's not unheard of, you know (see http://www.melvins.com). Either way, "The Smiling Cobra" quickly reassures, presenting the most classically Melvins song offered here. "Flush" is another throwaway track, but it only sucks a brief 1:07 of wind out of the album. The final three songs get progressively more discordant and experimental, with album closer "It Tastes Better Than the Truth" approaching my aforementioned listenability border, but somehow remaining interesting.
Nude With Boots is a roller coaster ride, and its discontinuity keeps the listener on his or her toes. There's enough straight-ahead Melvins-rock here to generalize it in that way, but the album's nuances and oddities make it a complex foray into the weird. If you give it enough time I think you'll find it to be of the same quality as (A) Senile Animal, and of a similar cloth. The Melvins have marked their 25th anniversary with one foot in the comfort of their established sound, one foot exploring the more modern tendencies begun on (A) Senile Animal and one foot tapping away to their early '70s heroes.

My Millennial-aged girl friends and I never doubted that we would accomplish all of our life goals. Everything, thus far, has pretty much gone according to our plans. We were accepted into the right college, landed the dream job, and developed a network of amazing friends. Our apartments are beautifully decorated and we have closets full of stylish clothing. Romance hasn't been entirely sidelined, but we don't waste our time trying to cultivate a relationship unless someone is really amazing.
But now, a growing number of Millennial women are beginning to fret over the unanticipated consequences of prioritizing our careers before love. And I only need to look at my group of friends to see this reality. Again and again, year after year, my successful, gorgeous, and amazing friends remain kiss-less on New Year's Eve. And on Valentine's Day. And on the 4th of July. The only dateable men we encounter are either attached, gay, or otherwise involved in "it's complicated" situations. We are coming to the realization that we were unwittingly playing a game of musical chairs — while everyone was pairing up, those focused on our careers are left standing alone.
And we can't figure out what is happening.
"I don't think the issue is that men used to be great and now they're not," says Jezebel's Katie J.M. Baker. "Women used to feel more pressure to get married and have kids earlier, and prioritize those goals above the others." Add to that women's ability now to be self-sufficient financially and supported socially by so many friends in the same boat, it shouldn't be that surprising so many Millennial women are single. Except to us singletons, it isn't supposed to be this way.
When it comes to romance, Millennial women are typically described using several broad strokes that don't reflect nuance or contradictions. We are the hook-up generation. We are afraid of commitment. We are ball-busters or fairy-tale dreamers. Each cliché may have elements of truth, but the fuller story is a result of several influencing and interconnected factors.
For one, it's not as if we are holding out for Jake Gyllenhaal, but we do have certain non-negotiable expectations for potential mates that include college degrees and white-collar jobs. Life has always gone according to our plans, so why wouldn't we land a man with these (reasonable) requirements?
This unwillingness to settle for less than we think we deserve is joined by a lax attitude towards searching for potential mates. We're busy dominating the world. We don't have time to hang out at bars. While some of us explore online dating or take a more proactive approach, the majority of Millennial women have long assumed we would meet Prince Charming via friends, or through their own social circles. "Why should we waste our precious time and energy unless we meet someone we really connect with and care about?" asks Baker. "I think it's great that Millennial women are picky and don't feel as much pressure to be in monogamous relationships as did previous generations. I do think all Millennials, not just women, are used to the idea of being able to 'curate' experiences — that's why so many people are into online dating, because you can pick and choose character traits — and that makes people wary about settling down, especially when, in a city like New York, there are so many options."
Unfortunately these assumptions bump up against the growing inequality between the two genders. Millennial women have taken it for granted that they will pair up with equal partners. But increasingly, there aren't enough of these men to go around. Women now outnumber men on college campuses, and single, childless women out earn their male counterparts. In fact, as author Liza Mundy writes in her book, The Richer Sex, Millennial women are increasingly finding two options when it comes to romance: marry down or don't marry. "There needs to be a cognitive behavior change in what are [considered] important traits," says Mundy. "I talk to so many women who are obsessed with finding men on their level. They want someone as ambitious, engaged, and high-achieving as they are. They maybe need to rethink that to seek a partner who is supportive, rather than competitive."
Or, accomplished women hold firm in searching for impressive men to help them feel they are getting anything out of the partnership. "They have this list of qualities (smart, has a job, knows something about culture or the world, etc) that seem pretty reasonable, but so few men meet the requirements," says Melanie Shreffler, a marketing consultant on Millennial culture. "Going back centuries, it was just a contract between two parties. Love and even friendship or liking each other weren't important. If you were lucky, they developed over time. But now, we think we can find a guy who will be our best friend, our other half, who we will love before we marry. Finding that in a guy that we also find attractive makes the probability of finding a "good match" even less."
Plus, many Millennial women are in the uncertain "grey" age range where we aren't sure if we need to start stressing out over our single status and lower our standards. Or whether we simply need to remain patient that the right man will come along.
There is also an odd paradox in that Millennial women can be outright ambitious in their professional lives, but the same approach towards dating conveys desperation. "[Marriage] is a worthy goal," say Mundy. "It's strange that it's stigmatized. When women work as explicitly hard to find romance and they do for their careers, they are seen as man-hungry. It's a shame since studies show that marriage makes one healthier and happier. There's no shame in wanting a great life."
At the very least, Millennial women can always turn to those in relationships for helpful dating solutions. "If your utmost priority is to find a mate, maybe you should think about the qualities that are most important to you and keep that in mind when writing people off," says Baker. "But I don't want that to come off as me encouraging women to 'settle' — because I'd personally rather be single than in a relationship with someone who isn't worth it."
And there's always the popular suggestion to move to another state with a more favorable male-female ratio. It worked for my sister who found her boyfriend in Alaska.
The issue of so few acceptable men to date comes down to simple social physics. Basically, men differ from women in that they require women in their lives to mature during their formative years. The women spend their formative years working on their careers while the majority of men never grow up. Then when the women try to get married they can't find anyone because most of the men have been left behind in a permanent adolescent state, mentally ill or become homosexuals. The only current two solutions to this problem are to either force by law women to act as girlfriends or to create a completely virtual solution whereby young men have virtual augmented reality girlfriends who help them to grow up. Neither solution will be even technically possible for at least a decade so it remains up in the air what to do now.
"Basically, men differ from women in that they require women in their lives to mature during their formative years."
If the corollary was also true it would be saying that the author, and women like her, are immature because they focused on the female adolescent drive of pleasing others by achieving according to the standards of others. When what they really needed was a man in their lives to help them mature as a woman is expected to in this culture.
(Despite truth in extended adolescence of modern middle-class and above culture, I know the above is false, and I also know Gumaer's post is false. Individuals need various things to "mature"; there is no one-size-fits-all.)
I think one of the lessons of this generation is to not put off love and marriage if the opportunity presents itself. I'm not saying to grab the first guy who comes along if he's not the right fit for you, but I have many friends who avoided this problem by marrying in their early and mid 20s, some during college, some as young as 20 or 22. (Btw, I am a gen-x-er, and most of my friends have just turned 40.) They still went on to do graduate work and have careers and children. They and their husbands were facing the challenges of advancing their educations and starting out in their careers together. It wasn't always easy, but they made it through and divorced in no greater numbers than the general population. In fact, none of my good friends is divorced.
I think we need to stop thinking linearly about one life goal succeeding the previous one and realize that sometimes it's fine to work on them simultaneously.
Time to hit the sperm banks ladies!
Interesting piece. When you go up the ladder, it is normal to marry down. It is what men have been doing for ages.
When you get older and want to marry up or equal, how many free men will be there that correspond to your criteria?
The main point though is that it seems to me that you and your amazing friends are seeing relationship in a very one sided, egotistical way. Are you ready to change? Can you give? Why would a man want to marry you? You are too perfect.
"There needs to be cognitive behavior change" – to me that sounds like brainwashing and social engineering, the essence of some modern day feminist thoughts. It appears that at least some of them would love some kind of role reversal, boys playing with dolls and girls playing with guns if you will – just see their reaction to the Swedish Toy catalog. It's kind of ironic that an ideology called feminism is so determined in stomping out any femininity in women and tries to force it upon men.
Anyways, I think Ms. Faw has done very well analyzing the situation facing the privileged millennial woman, and I think a lot of the older men will just grin and say "told ya so!". While a good job with high income and a degree make a man more attractive, as she points out, the same doesn't hold true for a woman. Inequality would have helped with her relationship goals because then there would always be the higher/equal status men whom she and her friends desire. Men meanwhile still are mostly looking for youth and beauty, which is more likely to be found in younger women. So for all the forced social change, for all the self delusions, people are still the same as they were for ages. People who now claim surprise and disappointment have just had their head up their ass.
"Having it all" – Ladies, you are about to find out what men have known since the dawn of time: only a very few members of human-kind (historically male) get to "have it all."
The rest of us get to have "some," or "none-at-all." If we're lucky we get "most" of what we hope for from life. But don't let my appraisal of your chances of a "perfect" life get you down, you're obviously doing something right!
You, your small cohort of friends, and the few thousand like you gals, is not the set "Millennial women", or even "Professional Millennial women".
Psychologically speaking, everyone is imbalanced. Your problem with your inability to find acceptable mates is merely life telling you you've ignored one of your lesser-developed instincts, while focusing on your greater-developed instincts.
As a man for whom the mate-seeking instinct isn't as weak as yours, I don't understand. But I can sympathize based on the fact that credentials have little pull for me, and that this attitude has brought up serious issues in my own life.
Bet my standardized test scores are significantly higher than yours, despite the fact my HS and college GPAs are in the tank compared to yours! Which is one of the reasons you value credentialed men, while I found a very smart, very knowledgeable, but un-degreed woman.
GQ was so right. This whole article is like a line of Sex and the City stretched out into a whole piece. Excuse me whole I go throw up.
Stopped reading at "unless someone is really amazing." You pretty much answered 90% of your own question right there. You want exactly what you want and you got up-sold by Hollywood, Cartier, Cosmopolitan and the romance novels. Have fun being 38 and single. Oh, wait, that's me. But I'm a bit of a special case (tons of injuries, work/family/travel stuff).
The other 10% is stuff like the sissy-fication of our society, the cost of the dating ritual, the denial of evolutionarily determined male aggression, a touch of hypocrisy and good old fashioned double standards like: If I (a man) sleep with 10 women in a month I get high-fives all around. If you (female, I presume) do it, you're a slut and hussy and you feel guilty. When you do finally sleep with me after I've spent how much money on this ritual thing, then I get sorely disappointed and you get hurt and upset. Don't get me started on the engagement ring marketing scam.

The PowerShares FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Portfolio (Fund) is based on the FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Index ND (Index). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index and American Depository Receipts (ADRs) based on the securities in the Index. The Index is designed to track the performance of the largest developed market equities (excluding the US), selected based on the following four fundamental measures of firm size: book value, cash flow, sales and dividends. The equities with the highest fundamental strength are weighted according to their fundamental scores. The Index is computed using the net return, which withholds applicable taxes for non-resident investors. The Fund and the Index are reconstituted annually.
Market returns are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4 p.m. ET and do not represent the returns an investor would receive if shares were traded at other times. Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than performance data quoted. After-tax returns reflect the highest federal income tax rate but exclude state and local taxes. Fund performance reflects fee waivers, absent which, performance data quoted would have been lower. After Tax Held and After Tax Sold are based on NAV.
Shareholders may pay more than net asset value when they buy Fund shares and receive less than net asset value when they sell those shares, because shares are bought and sold at current market prices. Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results.
As of 12/12/2013
Typically, security classifications used in calculating allocation tables are as of the last trading day of the previous month.
There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money. Shares are not actively managed and are subject to risks similar to those of stocks, including those regarding short selling and margin maintenance requirements. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply. The Fund's return may not match the return of the Underlying Index.
Foreign securities have additional risks, including exchange-rate changes, decreased market liquidity, political instability and taxation by foreign governments.
Investments focused in a particular industry or sector, such as the financial services sector are subject to greater risk, and are more greatly impacted by market volatility, than more diversified investments.
Investing in securities of medium capitalization companies may involve greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in large companies.
American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) involve many of the same risks as those associated with direct investment in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities.
Global Depository Receipts involve the same risks as those associated with ADRs. In addition, they are subject to currency, political, economic and market risks because their values depend on the performance of the non-dollar denominated underlying foreign securities.
A natural or other disaster could occur in a geographic region in which the Fund invests, which could adversly impact the Fund's investments in the affected region.
The dollar value of the fund's foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded.
Securities lending involves a risk of loss because the borrower may fail to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. If a Fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, it may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement security in the market. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Funds if and to the extent that the market value of the loaned securities increases and the collateral is not increased accordingly.
The MSCI EAFE® Index ND is an unmanaged index considered representative of stocks of Europe, Australasia and the Far East.

In order to find a solution to the problem of the democratic deficit in the EU, Smith concludes that it is vital for European Integration to create an efficient decision making process which is best served by centralisation and majority voting. However, this runs counter to democratic legitimation, which is dependent on institutions at the national level.
The book is unique in that the description of national models for parliamentary influence is used as an example for a similar model at the European level. It is largely based on a conference which was held at the Faculty of Law, University of Oslo, Norway in June 1995.

Overview: The Professional Pilot degree program prepares the student for a career in professional piloting. Most students pursue a career with the airlines; however, pilots enjoy many other career options, including positions with the military, police, forestry, and government.
Curriculum: The Aviation Science department has recently revised the curriculum. We are now engaged in building a team-based, learner-centric pedagogy that will prepare our students as outstanding team members and global citizens.
A full breakdown of the courses you will take in the flight science program is available here. The courses include a stipulated number of flight or simulator hours and lead to the Private and Commercial Certificates and the Instrument and Multi-engine ratings.
To support its instructional efforts, the Aviation Science department maintains a varied fleet of aircraft, including Aerospatiale Tampicos for primary and instrument training and Piper Seminoles for commercial and multi-engine training; students also take advantage of a repertoire of Frasca flight training devices (fixed simulators) for simulation training.
Faculty: The Aviation Science faculty has experience in many aspects of aviation and aviation education. The department regularly employs airline pilots to teach air carrier-related courses.
The faculty also actively pursues research. Two major research projects are currently underway: one in Aviation Safety Action Programs in Maintenance and the other in Safety Culture in the Technical Operations of Air Traffic. Active research is essential for continued success of all the university's academic programs, so if you are interested in exploring research ideas, feel free to contact our faculty..
Internship Opportunities: The Aviation Science department provides valuable internship opportunities with Alaska Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines, UPS, Trans States Airlines, and other carriers. Other corporate internships are also available. These internships are highly competitive and are always very rewarding.
Careers: After earning their Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) certificates, graduates of the program usually take positions as CFI's for reputable flight schools. This job will usually last from one to three years, at which point graduates will be qualified to take positions with a regional airline. After acquiring several years of experience at the regional level, pilots are qualified for positions with a major airline.

On Tuesday, the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board tossed out most of the challenges. This brings the total number of Republicans facing recall in the cheese state to six.
