Some businesses are islands in the storm
A customer brushes the snow off his car at the Puritan Back Room in Manchester, during the snowstorm on Friday. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
"As always, we will be open no matter how bad the storm gets! We will not be having any saute specials this weekend, though. Please be safe everyone!"
He was shocked when his notice about specials was greeted with criticism for staying open, with posters saying employee safety should be a priority, that staying open only encourages people to go out on the roads when they shouldn't, that the owners of the Hooksett Road business in Manchester only care about money, and that they are insensitive.
"It's kind of nice," he said, that other people called the complainers on their criticisms.
Along with faithful customers, some current and former Puritan employees began posting about how caring management is, with one employee saying a member of management drove her home in a four-wheel drive vehicle to ensure her safety in one storm. Others talked about working there for years and staying because they know that management cares about them and wouldn't do anything to put them in danger.
Stergiou said staying open isn't a new idea. "It's something we've always done," he said, and he expected to be open until midnight, as usual on Friday night.
Occasionally, if the weather is really bad, and everyone agrees, they may close a little early. But, he said: "People find a way to get here."
He said if employees feel they can't come in, he understands. Nobody is forced to come in. But some employees need the hours and will find a way in safely.
Stergiou said the Puritan, at 245 Hooksett Road, provides an important service during a storm. It's a place where utility crews, public safety workers, people who've lost power, and people who are used to going out to dinner can come and be warm and enjoy a meal.
For the people working long hours because of the storm, it's a place they can count on being open, and place to take a break and recharge.
He said how people get to the Puritan sometimes depends on how much snow falls. "People walk down. We've had them come on snow shoes, cross country skis, snowmobiles." he said.
So unless Gov. Maggie Hassan says the roads are closed Saturday, said Stergiou, the Puritan will open as usual at 11 a.m., with plans to stay open until midnight.
The U.S. Postal Service said that, in New Hampshire and surrounding states affected by the storm, post offices will be closed today and no mail will be delivered. However, postal employees at mail processing centers in Manchester and Nashua do have to work today.
Post offices were expected to resume normal operations on Monday.
In Manchester, the slogan may be "America runs on Dunkin," but not today in Manchester. There are a number of storm-related closings of Dunkin' Donut stores, including 855 Candia Road, 1037 Hanover St., 947 Second St., 100 Eddy Road, 1932 Wellington Road, 921 Beech St., and the stores in both Catholic Medical Center and Elliot Hospital.
In Concord, the Steeplegate Mall closed early Friday and will have a delayed opening today. The mall itself will open two hours later than usual, at noon, although anchor stores Sears, BonTon and JCPenney may open earlier. Check with those stores directly.
The Simon Malls in New Hampshire - Mall of New Hampshire, Fox Run Mall, Mall at Rockingham Park and the Pheasant Lane Mall - all closed at 2 p.m. Friday. Check the Facebook pages for the individual malls for the latest information on when they will open today.
Nashua business
Dave Manganello owns The Sausage King on Main Street in Nashua. He said today's blizzard hits his business hard - and it couldn't have come at a worse time of the week.
"Being closed on a Monday or Tuesday," Manganello shrugged, "Meh. They're slow anyway. But for a Friday or Saturday night, it seems like traditionally it always snows."
Manganello said storms generally cut sales in half. But being closed Friday and Saturday nights - between midnight and two, as people leave the bars - could mean he loses 40 percent of weekly sales.
And if it had come two weeks ago, it could've crippled the business. But he recently took out a loan that allowed him to pull through.
"We were living hand to mouth for most of December and January," he said. "The cold was really what caused that. The Holiday Stroll came, and from one weekend to the next we went from the best weekend we've ever had to the worst weekend we've ever had."
Manganello is trying to strike a deal with Mayor Donnalee Lozeau for a city worker discount. If he can serve the city's plow guys, who are provided with food during storms, he said he'd be able to absorb some of the storm-time losses.
"We'd love to be able to get that business to offset the loss of business when we're closed," he said.
On the other side of the county is Lane Carle, owner of Lakeview Materials and Trucking in Merrimack. Twenty-fiv e percent of his plowing business is hourly work, and 75 percent is with accounts that pay for the whole winter up front, no matter how much or how little it snows. With every storm, Carle loses money on that 75 percent.
Asked if he'd shut the storm off given the ability, Carle said absolutely not. "I wouldn't shut it off, I'd let it keep going. Mother Nature has its way of creating jobs and balancing the budget out for everyone."
Carle said he pays his plow guys and shovel guys the same: $20 an hour. They are the ones who cash in on the storm, and it's possible that with today's blizzard they will work 30 hours, earning $600 at week's end.
"You don't sleep in between," Carle said. "You're not allowed to. That's not an option. You work. It's mindboggling, it's draining, (but) you want to eat."
"It's not like a normal job," he added. "Most people cannot handle plowing snow. It's either in your blood or it's not."
Business was also slow over at Bonhoeffer's Café on Franklin Street. Like The Sausage King, manager Karen Misiag said snow cuts business in half. The opposite is true however when the power goes out.
"When people lose power, and we have power, and our girls can come in, (customers) come," Misiag said.
But Friday afternoon, as the snow began to dust the city streets, Bonhoeffer's was empty. Misiag said people are probably hunkering in their own homes.
"But if they lose power, this place would be really busy," she said with a smile. "They have the heat, they have the coffee, they have the food."
Though they are likely to be closed today, Misiag said if they're able to open, then open they'll be. Especially if power goes out in parts of the city.

Ecuador's competition watchdog fines America Movil subsidiary
QUITO (Reuters) - Ecuador's markets watchdog said on Sunday it fined the local subsidiary of Latin America's largest phone company, America Movil (AMXL.MX), $138.4 million for anti-competitive practices.
The Superintendent of Market Control said the subsidiary, Claro, had "impeded" other local cellphone providers and that the fine represented "10 percent of all its business in 2012."
Claro called the move "unjustified and disproportionate" and accused the authorities of inconsistency.
The watchdog acted after a complaint by the State Telecommunications Corporation (CNT), a public company that also provides cellphone services. CNT accused Claro of anti-competitive behavior by signing exclusivity contracts with the owners of land where Claro's transmission towers are located.
Claro is Ecuador's biggest mobile operator, with a 63.8 percent market share and about 15.5 million subscribers. Its parent company, America Movil, is controlled by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim.
A third cellphone provider, a subsidiary of the Spanish telecoms company Telefonica (TEF.MC), also operates in Ecuador.
Claro said in a statement that the fine was unfair, and said it "noted the existence of inconsistencies in the process which undermine due process and the right to a defense."
The company said it would seek to challenge the resolution in court.
Telefonica's subsidiary has 32.8 percent of the cellphone market, according to the official Communications Superintendent, while the state company CNT has the remaining 3.4 percent.

Happy Friday... or is it? According to a new report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. economy added 216,000 jobs in March, and the unemployment rate dropped to 8.8 percent, the lowest it's been in two years. That 8.8 percent figure also marks a full percentage point drop since November 2010, an "astounding decline." But amid all the good news in the new jobs reports, there are some "hidden bad signs," says Phil Izzo in The Wall Street Journal. Here are six:
1. Many have been unemployed for a long, long time
Among the unemployed, 45.5 percent have been jobless for six months or longer, says Jacob Goldstein at NPR. "The longer people have been unemployed, the less likely it is that they will find another job."
2. We still need a lot more new jobs
"Where are the new jobs?" asks Kelly Evans in The Wall Street Journal. While new weekly jobless claims are at a two-and-a-half-year low, "hiring remains weak." Layoffs have declined, but hiring is still short of what's needed to recoup the 8.7 million jobs lost in the recession. "Call it the no-fire, no-hire job market."
3. The unemployment rate has dropped too quickly
Since October 2010, the unemployment rate has plummeted from 10.1 percent to 8.8 percent — and that has economists worried, says Stephen Gandel in TIME. Such rapid job growth could cause inflation. Or, because of the way the unemployment rate is calculated (it only includes those actively looking for work), the drop could indicate that people have simply given up looking for work, not that they've actually found jobs.
4. And it's not down everywhere
"The recovery is leaving some U.S. metros behind," says Aaron Couch in The Christian Science Monitor. Some smallers cities, like Bend, Ore. (unemployment rate: 15.2 percent) and Palm Coast, Fla. (16 percent), actually have higher rates of unemployment now than they did in June 2009, when the recovery officially began.
5. Wages aren't rising, but the cost of living is
The cost of food and oil is on the rise, but wages remain unchanged, says Phil Izzo in The Wall Street Journal. "If prices are going up but workers aren't getting paid more, it spells good news for companies who can keep labor costs low, but suggests continued struggles for consumers."
6. The slightly better times may not last
"The jobs report is a lagging indicator, and some of the issues that have led economists to scale back growth forecasts for this year aren't yet reflected in this report," says Izzo. The Japanese earthquake will likely cause some disruptions in manufacturing supply chains, the effects of which could be felt for months. "There might be some difficulties ahead."

Some Wii owners have been disappointed with the audio output of Guitar Hero 3 in mono. Activision is working on the problem and will be offering free replacement discs in 2008.
Spokeswoman at Activision, Rhy-Ming Poon (no joke, that's her real name!!) commented:
"We recently became aware that some consumers have not been able to enjoy the full audio output in the Nintendo Wii version of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. We're currently working with Nintendo and are planning to issue an improved audio experience in the game's future versions".
"We expect to have remastered discs available by early 2008 and will be offering consumers replacement discs at no cost when they become available".

Are they planning on including that also?
The Luigi Guy said:
Yeah, you're right about the single player boss battle songs. Would have been cool if it was in ps2 also. They thought of that a little too late. And anyways, how do you even get the replacement?

Two robberies at CVS pharmacies in Portland over the last week are connected, according to police.
The CVS on Congress Street was held up on Jan. 12, when a man handed a note to a clerk demanding cash. Then on Friday, another CVS on Forest Avenue was robbed.
Investigators say the man waited outside for customers to leave before robbing the pharmacies. Nobody was hurt in either incident.
Police say the suspect's description in both cases is very similar. They are looking for a black man in his 30s or 40s, about 6 feet tall.

About Marieve Ortiz
I do believe that every human being has a creative side that should be explored without limitations. From my early childhood I've been in close contact with nature. The mystery of life and its development always fascinated me and I became an observer of Nature.
I enjoy expressing what I see around myself in many different ways . Thus the inspiration comes in the form of sound, movement, color and words, so I express my feelings and emotions through music, painting and writing.
After my arrival to Australia, traveling with my husband helped me to make contact with the magnificence of the Australian landscape. I soon felt in love with this country and its people and had an urgent need to express it in my art.
I like to use different materials and mediums as the subject requires however I have great pleasure drawing and painting with pastels. I love to create colorful paintings with strong contrast in lights and shadows. With that purpose the first steps in developing a painting is completely emotional and intuitive. For that reason I only work with the best quality materials being them papers, boards, mediums, paintings etc.
Biology has been my first career and as I love everything in Nature I adore Plain Air Painting. There are few things in the world that gives me more pleasure than a day painting outdoors and that is what I try to represent in my work: A harmonic union that makes us living participants of its transformation.
I am fascinated by lights and the subtle movement of the shadows that they produce in contact with the subject. But most important yet is the spiritual meaning hidden behind them. Exploring those shadows and illuminating them helped me to find my soul and open an inner dialogue with the subject.
That is what I'd like to share in my paintings – my passion for art, my love for every creature and formation in Nature and a strong desire to express beauty as I see it. I like to offer the viewer not only a glimpse of what and how I feel but also a reflection of my own.
My philosophy is to live and enjoy the present moment, creating a better tomorrow. I continue learning and exploring my art day by day. Thus my last painting will be always better than the one before, but never as good as the next one. Looking for perfection I've created my own way of working been this outdoors or in my studio.
Often when I've got a new idea I also know the medium I'm going to use. But pastels are by far my favorites for outdoor painting. I'm not a quick painter. So, I also take lots of photographs to use later as reference. I like to take the time I need to paint and enjoy the moment. Once the painting is finished often I'll keep it in the observation shelve until I'm happy enough to frame it. By that moment,surely another idea will be already in my mind and a new project on the way.
So, by the moment an exhibition is over I'll be already working in a new one. Writing my first painting book, and preparing another painting subject.
And the cycle of life continues.

Tough night for the Ukrainian pro on Dancing with the Stars: After a clip package on Monday showed Karina Smirnoff dropping the f-bomb more than she'd like her mom to see and hear, the pro broke down on camera after performing an impromptu high kick that brought her to her knees. She and partner Apolo Ohno ended up earning a respectable 34.5 for doing a hip hop dance to "Poison," but Smirnoff was full of mea culpas after the show – especially for using too many expletives.
"I'm super embarrassed," Smirnoff said to reporters. "I apologize to the whole of America, and especially my mom because she's definitely going to let me hear it when I get home. It feels like this is the only word I've mastered in my ESL class. I'm embarrassed this was the only word I used on Wednesday and Thursday because that's when the footage was shot. I'm never using that again. Then, I decided to throw in a karate kick move in the middle of our routine, which was completely un-rehearsed and uninvited so when I got up and turned around, Apolo's getting the microphone ripped away from him.

Studies have demonstrated that low-income families often have disproportionately high utilization of emergency department (ED) and hospital services, and low utilization of preventive visits. A possible contributing factor is that some mothers may not respond optimally to their infants' health needs, either due to their own responsiveness or due to the child's ability to send cues. These mother–child interactions are measurable and amenable to change. We examined the associations between mother–child interactions and child healthcare utilization among low-income families. We analyzed data from the Nurse-Family Partnership trial in Memphis, TN control group (n = 432). Data were collected from child medical records (birth to 24 months), mother interviews (12 and 24 months postpartum), and observations of mother–child interactions (12 months postpartum). We used logistic and ordered logistic regression to assess independent associations between mother–child interactions and child healthcare utilization measures: hospitalizations, ED visits, sick-child visits to primary care, and well-child visits. Better mother–child interactions, as measured by mother's responsiveness to her child, were associated with decreased hospitalizations (OR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.32, 0.81), decreased ambulatory-care-sensitive ED visits (OR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.44, 0.96), and increased well-child visits (OR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.06, 2.28). Mother's responsiveness to her child was associated with child healthcare utilization. Interventions to improve mother–child interactions may be appropriate for mother–child dyads in which child healthcare utilization appears unbalanced with inadequate primary care and excess urgent care. Recognition of these interactions may also improve the care clinicians provide for families.

Fantasy Football Breaking News
Michael Bush - RB - Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals RB Michael Bush fits the role of a big, bruising ball carrier who can be effective in the red zone and at the goal line, and head coach Bruce Arians is hoping Bush can fill the role that RB Jonathan Dwyer had. 'We really miss John,' Arians said. 'I like our backs but we need a guy that's going to pound it in there and close out some games in short yardage and goal-line situations,' Arians said. Bush has 12 touchdowns on 26 goal-line carries in his career. Arians said Bush is in 'great shape' after not having played this year.
Huddle Up: It certainly sounds like Bush will immediately be supplanting Stepfan Taylor as the Cards' short-yardage/change-of-pace back. Meanwhile, it's not good news but it's far from crippling for Andre Ellington's owners as he'll still be counted heavily as a pass-catcher and a big-play back without playing to his weaknesses by repeatedly running him the gut.
Calvin Johnson - WR - Detroit Lions
Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson hasn't been putting up big numbers this season, but he denies that he's starting to decline. He's on pace to finish with fewer than 1,000 yards receiving for the first time since 2009, but he continues to say that he's the same player he was when he set the single-season record for receiving yards two years ago. 'I think that the biggest thing you can kind of just take a look at is: Does he still run by people?' head coach Jim Caldwell said. 'The answer to that would be yes. Is he still able to lay out, catch the ball and do things that he normally does? Yes. And I think that that's what matters.' Since returning from a sprained ankle, Johnson has also faced three of the league's top defenses.
Huddle Up: The defenses of the Bears and Bucs should be more to the liking of Megatron and the Lions' offense the next two weeks, but if the issues continue, it just might be the rule and not the exception.
Latavius Murray - RB - Oakland Raiders
Oakland Raiders RB Latavius Murray (concussion) was back at practice Wednesday, Nov. 25, though his participation status was undisclosed.
Huddle Up: He's still not in the clear yet, but it's a solid sign pointing toward Murray playing this Sunday in St. Louis.
Arian Foster - RB - Houston Texans
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (groin) has an excellent chance to return in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans after missing the last two games.
Huddle Up: Alfred Blue should still get some work as well, but Foster is a must-start if he's active going against the Titans, who give up the second-most fantasy points to opposing RBs.
Julius Thomas - TE - Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos TE Julius Thomas (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday, Nov. 26.
Huddle Up: It's the first practice of the week for the Broncos, and Thomas will likely have to show more later in the week to avoid missing a second straight game.
Zach Ertz - TE - Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles TE Zach Ertz (oblique) fully participated in practice and is probable for Week 13.
Huddle Up: Ertz hasn't missed a game this season and should be out there Thursday in Dallas, but his biggest fantasy threat is the increased looks fellow TE Brent Celek has been getting in recent weeks. Go ahead and roll with Ertz if you need to but weigh your TE options carefully.
Geno Smith - QB - New York Jets
New York Jets QB Geno Smith will return to the starting quarterback role in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, after QB Michael Vick saw only three starts. The feeling around the team is that general manager John Idzik insisted that head coach Rex Ryan start Smith over Vick. 'The main factor is you want to give your guys a chance to win the game,' Ryan said. 'That's the No. 1 factor you look into. But that's what we did. We feel good. Geno last time out had a good game against Miami (in Week 17 last season).'
Huddle Up: The Jets need to find out if Smith has a long-term future with the franchise, and need him off the bench and in live action to make that determination. It mainly boils down to decision-making and keeping the turnovers to a minimum. If he can do that, it shouldn't affect what limited fantasy values there are for the team's other offensive skill players.
Matt Slater - WR - New England Patriots
New England Patriots WR Matthew Slater agreed to a two-year, $4 million extension through the 2016 season Wednesday, Nov. 26.
Huddle Up: Slater is more of a special teams contributor than a fantasy threat, the kind of interchangeable piece Bill Belichick loves to employ.
Colt McCoy - QB - Washington Redskins
Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III has officially been benched in favor of QB Colt McCoy in Week 13. Head coach Jay Gruden informed the team Wednesday, Nov. 26. However, Griffin still appears to be part of the team's long-term plan, another source said Tuesday.
Huddle Up: RG3 has struggled this season; it's going to take time and reps in Jay Gruden's offense for him to get comfortable, and right now the team would rather take a shot at maybe winning a game with McCoy at the helm than hopefully developing Griffin into the quarterback he can be in this offense. So any talk of an actual long-term plan in Washington is laughable.
Colt McCoy - QB - Washington Redskins
The Washington Redskins are planning to start QB Colt McCoy in Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts in place of struggling QB Robert Griffin III, according to a team source.
Huddle Up: Things are a mess in D.C. -- and we're not just talking politics. McCoy did, however, lead the Skins to their last win -- a 20-17 victory in Dallas in Week 8 -- throwing for 299 yards and rushing for 16 yards and a TD in his lone start, so this should be a welcome fantasy change for the team's pass-catchers. (Hey, it can't get much worse). Meanwhile, the question is whether RGIII has made his last start for Washington.
Marshawn Lynch - RB - Seattle Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch (back) was listed as a limited participant for the second straight day of practice Tuesday, Nov. 25.
Huddle Up: Lynch hasn't been near 100 percent all season, but he'll be out there Thursday night for the grudge match against the Niners, and his fantasy owners will be hoping for better results than his 15-39 rushing performance in Week 11.
Reggie Bush - RB - Detroit Lions
Updating a previous report, Detroit Lions RB Reggie Bush (ankle, back) was limited in practice Tuesday, Nov. 25, with a back injury added to his status. Bush missed the last two games with an ankle injury. There was no further information on his back ailment.
Huddle Up: Yikes -- this sounds rather grim for the RB, who's missed three of the last four -- and five games in all -- this season. Keep an eye out for further updates, but don't expect the news to be promising.
Doug Martin - RB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Doug Martin says he's the same running back he was as a rookie in 2012 when he took the league by storm. However, he's averaging just 2.8 yards per carry and has only 193 rushing yards and one score this season, but he's missed two games with a knee injury and three with an ankle ailment. He's healthy now, but he only mustered 27 yards on 11 carries in Week 12 while sharing time with RBs Charles Sims and Bobby Rainey.
Huddle Up: Martin had more rushes than Rainey and Sims combined (7) in Week 11, but continues to do little with them. None of the backs, though, are getting much help, and coach Lovie Smith has called out the team's offensive line. See if that makes any difference, but don't have any of three RBs in your lineup while waiting to find out.
Troy Polamalu - S - Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers SS Troy Polamalu (knee) and CB Ike Taylor (forearm) both are expected to play in the team's Week 13 game, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.
Huddle Up: IDP alert as fantasy's 11th-ranked defense gets two key pieces back for the stretch run.
Brian Hoyer - QB - Cleveland Browns
Cleveland Browns QB Brian Hoyer was never in danger of being benched in favor of QB Johnny Manziel in the team's Week 12 win over the Atlanta Falcons, according to head coach Mike Pettine. Hoyer threw three interceptions in the game. Pettine praised Hoyer for shaking off his mistakes and leading the team to a game-winning drive.
Huddle Up: Hoyer is the first Cleveland QB to post back-to-back 300-yard games in 31 years, but he needs to work in a few more TD tosses -- he has 1 in his last 3 games -- and cut down on turnovers to become a better fantasy bet.
Brandon Marshall - WR - Chicago Bears
Chicago Bears WR Brandon Marshall (ankle) was limited in practice for the second straight day Tuesday, Nov. 25.
Huddle Up: Marshall should be good to go in the first game of the Turkey Day tripleheader, and his fantasy owners will be hoping for more than the three catches for 32 yards he delivered in Week 12.
Clay Harbor - TE - Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville Jaguars TE Clay Harbor has been demoted to third string after the return of TE Marcedes Lewis. TE Nic Jacobs has kept the No. 2 job, as Harbor played just six snaps in Week 12.
Huddle Up: Harbor had his mid-season run of fantasy relevance, but it's now Lewis' gig that he's back from an eight-game injury absence.
Michael Bush - RB - Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals signed free-agent RB Michael Bush (Bears) and cut RB Kerwynn Williams Tuesday, Nov. 25.
Huddle Up: The Cards' running game has slumped of late, and Bush could definitely see some carries as the big back in the rotation.
Connor Barth - PK - Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos signed free-agent PK Connor Barth (Buccaneers) to an undisclosed deal Tuesday, Nov. 25, after waiving PK Brandon McManus, according to a source.
Huddle Up: For those who prefer kickers playing for high-scoring teams, Barth is the new man in the Mile High City.
Blake Bortles - QB - Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles went 15-for-27 for just 146 yards and an interception in the team's Week 12 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, and he hasn't tossed a touchdown in the last two games. Head coach Gus Bradley was critical of the whole offense, but he indicated that the team expects more from the rookie quarterback. Bradley said Bortles has been holding the ball too long in the pocket, and his decision making hasn't been up to par.
Huddle Up: The Jags have topped 20 points only twice in Bortles' eight starts, and the rookie owns an ugly 16-8 turnover-to-TD pass ratio. Still, going to back to Chad Henne isn't a viable option at this point for the 1-10 Jags so Bradley is trying to light a fire under the QB any way he can. Bortles remains an interesting dynasty-league piece but steer clear this year in re-draft leagues if at all possible.

Although you can certainly mix and match as part of your decorating theme, modern art or modern furniture styles would certainly look out of place.

Aramark Staff at Nyack Coordinates Global Volunteer Day
As a part of its "Building Community Project," Aramark employees around the world recently participated in Global Volunteer Day. The team that services Nyack College chose to collect donations and create New Mother Kits for Care Net Pregnancy Center in Spring Valley, NY. With a "wish list" from Gloria Calo, Care Net's executive director, vendors were invited to contribute or offer discounts on items to be included in the kits. Marc Fahringer, Aramark district manager supervised the project, which was coordinated by Amelia Dantas and Debby Paine.
Nyack College and the Aramark staff were very generous in giving, which resulted in more than $5,000.00 worth of items on the Care Net's Wish List being collected and 50 New Mother Kits being put together. In addition to the kits the Spring Valley organization received cases of diapers, strollers, car seats, pack 'n plays, computers, a microwave and a projector.
Kudos to the volunteers for this wonderful outpouring of love and compassion!

Listed under Art Collections in Paris, France.
The Louvre Museum, with its spectacular glass pyramid, is an icon of Paris and one of the world's most-visited cultural sites. Its vast and rich collections encompass all ages: from antiquity (the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory) and the Renaissance (the Mona Lisa, works by Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Titian) to 19th-century French masterpieces. The Louvre-Lens project, now underway, will see more of the enormous collection out of storage and on display at a second site in north Paris.
The museum was originally the main Royal Palace in Paris, and was built on the site of an earlier royal fortress, whose remains can be seen on the ground floor. Napoleon, who preferred the Palace of Fontainbleau, turned the Louvre into a repository for all the artworks he looted from throughout Europe - and it remains today one the top three museums in the world, alongside the British Museum and the Hermitage.

Natalie, The Educational Tourist
I luv it!...spend 6 hours and wished to had at least 1 more, one of the best experiences I ever had: photos allowed, and you can literally be face to face with the sculptures, except for the egyptian artifacts and the Mona Lisa. Tickets in advance are sent to an european address, there is not an option to print e-voucher if you are travelling overseas, which could save an hour or so in lane. 10 euros more than fair for a superfun day, although it needs a nicer restaurant within the premises...
There's a quite nice, but pricey, restaurant right by the pyramid, and you can just get a coffee there as well, which is much nicer than inside.
Really wanted to see all the famous prints and statues found we only had 40mins in which to visit as queued for ages to get in. Paid full price for less than an hour which was bit unfair I felt. The queue for translator equipment was just as long so we chose to just go around with out it. only to find all art descriptive panels were in French and totally unreadable to English people. So this did effect our viewing pleasure quite a bit was frustrating at times because was unable to appreciate fully what the works of art was trying to portray!!
But was still glad that I can say I have seen the beauiful and thought provoking Mona Lisa would go again but would allow more time and queue for English translating guide.
I think it's free one Sunday a month - it's supposed to be busy then, but at least it's free!
Next time you might want to get your tickets in advance as well to save time - you can buy them from the Louvre's website so there's no risk, then you can just walk in!
Thanks, Emilie, it's also a good idea to do that for Versailles - that's the other place I've seen huge lines in France. Actually, the line for Monet's Garden was pretty long as well, but not sure if I could have pre-purchased that one or not.
I need to know the floors, dimensions or whatever concerning the location size of this museum ?
I want to get the information that at what price this coin can be sold
Hi Umair - World Reviewer is a travel review website so we're not well set up to answer your kind of question - sorry!
what are the contents of this museum? whether it is national museum or not? what are the measures of national museum? what are the requirements of national museum? why the historical buildings are adopted as museum? what is the new concept of the louvre museum? how is the undergraound structure maintained?
For a list of the pieces in the collection you'll need to have a look at the Louvre's website - it's very long!
