The location.
Beware and check your invoice and your room first! After a 20h trip overtired on arrival we didn't realize that we've been charged twice the taxes, took some arguments and time to get our money back, moreover we've been offered an 8 squaremeter single-room for two people, even though a double/twin room was booked for 7 nights, they changed it the next day into a slightly bigger room, but on request and no excuse or refund was made for the first night. The room was pretty basic, rather like a hostel, equiped with a small bathroom, a huge and noisy fridge (option to unplug), hairdryer wallmount (with no hairdryer) and a non working cable tv (some knowledge about old Sony Trinitron tv with settop box programming made it running at least..), room has no wardrobe at all.
Good localisation
No staff, see mousse in the room etc
We had our own bathroom and a fridge. It was close to some stuff.
Outside the hotel smelled like urine because there was urine on the street! It was next to a pub, it was so loud we could not sleep until after 1 am!
Good value. Center of town, access to public transit.
Mission District. Close to metro.
Far from piers
Mosaic floors were festive.
I asked for a senior discount and they frowned snd refused. 200.00 per nite for a tiny unventilated room. The first room offered was so small you could not walk around the bed and the bed so soft I had to ask for a different room. A very little bit better, that one. No window screens , sirens frequently, and second night I heard pot shots - like a gun, several times waking me. Noisy toilet. Would not stay here again for that kind of money . The young Indian woman covering her face I felt was rude to me to ask for a discount . They downgraded me to a one bed room Which should have cost less!
The back fire escape was fun to hang out on
Shared 1 bathroom & 1 shower with whole floor. Over priced, 350 a night for 3 small single beds in a closet like space
location that's about it
The hotel smelled everyday like Indian food
Location Room with 2 double beds had it's own bathroom The in-room bathroom was spotless
The prospect of shared bathrooms when I booked
Mission district is the best! Rats in the hallway is the worst...0
Very nice and helpful people. Clean and spacious room.
Noise coming from the street and from the adjacent nightclub, but after long days of visiting SFO, you easily fall asleep and the noise is not a problem anymore.
The price isn't affordable
Outside looked appealing
Didn't like the fact that their was no restroom in the room! The shower and bathroom were shared among all of the people who booked a room. I felt uncomfortable and not even a light fixture. I ended up not sleeping there, because of fear and uncomfort.
- Great location (Castro): lots of bars and restaurants next door - Quite clean
- The room wasn't ready (3 hours after official check-in time) - Small rooms without air conditioning (it is a bit stuffy in the room)
Location only
The stay
It is nothing more than a really expensive hostel in a dodgy area which is a long way from where the tourist really wants to be. Do not stay here.
Can't think of much, honestly, besides the location.
Rude staff, way to expensive. We wanted a room for two but payed for a room for three. The room was not clean, smelled funky, and the mattresses were a whole different story.
coperative staff
parking problem but it's not a big deal.
lively area, simple and small but clean room, close to BART station (Mission/16th)
price, but the whole city is very expensive.
Great location, valencia street is a nice area
Price is a little high as rooms are very basic. But San Francisco is expensive...
Smells horrible inside.
The room was very clean.
Lack of screens on windows since we had to open then for ventilation.
Clean room Location
Hotel was very clean and well maintained, and service was fast. Location is surrounded by restaurants.
Hotel would not hold luggage before check-in time.
Good location. Close to bars and shops.
Leaking toilet. No maid service, they didn't clean the room or make the bed. We felt like we were being watched by the owners.

Ellen Grant and her husband, Steve, live in a brownstone in an older section of New York City. He works the late shift. As they are eating, the conversation turns to the news of a maniacal killer (the Creeper) at large who strangled three women to death in their own homes. Ellen wants a new lock on the front door since she is alone so much at night and afraid. After Steve leaves for work, Ellen calls a hardware store and arranges to have a new lock installed. Throughout the entire day, Ellen is anxious and terrified of everyone she sees. Is the shoe salesman the creeper? Is it the janitor? Or how about her ex-beau Ed, who comes to pay her a surprise visit? Ellen can only hope that the locksmith will come in time to install the lock that will keep her safe.

Donny Osmond's potentially on-again, potentially off-again appearance on Dancing With the Stars is potentially on-again: The former teen idol says he'd love to compete, just not in the spring.
"If there was an offer on the table, I'd do it in the fall," he tells Entertainment Tonight. "I would make room for it. Absolutely!"
Osmond said during an appearance on The Bonnie Hunt Show earlier this week that he would join this spring's season of the show, then quickly recanted. The 51-year-old appeared on the daytime talk show alongside sister Marie Osmond, who was a contestant on the fifth season. (Who can forget her famous faint?)
The new Dancing cast will be announced Feb. 9, and the new season premieres March 19 on ABC.
What do you think? Can Osmond move around the floor as well as he dances around questions?

Bridge Designers Envision Giant Trampolines
By editor
Copyright 2014 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.
Good morning. I'm David Greene. Why walk across a bridge when you can bounce across it? That's what one architecture firm had in mind with its concept for a new bridge in Paris. It looks like a puffy white snake that would cross the River Seine. Pedestrians would bound across the famed river on three giant inflatable trampolines. The idea took third place in a design competition, but, as of now, it is still in the concept phase. Some people might hope that's exactly where it stays. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

CSS Alabama 26-27July 2014
ATTENTION ALL MEMBERSTHE WARRIOR JULY 26th -27th
This is a Southern Skirmish Association event.
I have been asked by the Chair to invite all members to the Warrior weekend.
Once again members of SoSkAn will be re eacting the roll of crew on the Great Ironclad Warrior. We will play the part of the crew of the CSS Alabama.
After visiting the Warrior Captain Raphael Semmes commissioned the British to build him a similar vessel (Alabama) they agreed. But would only build a wooden version.
CSS Alabama was a screw sloop-of-war built in 1862 for the Confederate States Navy at Birkenhead, England by John Laird Sons and Company Alabama served as a successful commerce raider, attacking Union merchant and naval ships over the course of her two-year career, during which she never anchored in a Southern port. She was sunk in battle by the USS Kearsarge in June 1864 at the Battle of Cherbourg outside the port of Cherbourg, France.
HMS Warrior the warship that revolutionised the Victorian Navy!
HMS Warrior, launched in 1860, was the pride of Queen Victoria's fleet. The world's first iron hulled, armoured battleship, powered by steam and sail, she was the largest, fastest and most powerful ship of her day and had a profound effect on naval architecture. The only surviving member of Queen Victoria's Black Battle Fleet, Warrior has been fully restored to her original condition and offers four vast decks for visitors to explore.

Republican Rob Astorino says he'll announce Wednesday whether he's challenging Andrew Cuomo for governor of New York.
In a Twitter message, the Westchester County executive says he'll reveal his decision in a "video news release."
If he's running, Astorino faces challenges in name recognition and fundraising. He's trailing badly in polls.
But he has predicted he can win enough voters upstate and in the suburbs to overcome the heavy Democratic vote in New York City.
Astorino has been easily elected county executive twice in Westchester, where Democrats heavily outnumber Republicans.
Cuomo, who lives in Westchester, has not publicly addressed an Astorino candidacy. But he has mentioned Westchester's heavy taxes. Astorino has kept county property taxes flat throughout his time in office.
Astorino is 46 and lives in Mount Pleasant.

|I have had a plant in 4" plastic pot for a couple weeks now. It was fine at first, but last week it started to go downhill. The older leaves are "crunchy" and brown in the edges and the flowerbuds only make it so far before getting dried up towards the tip (the rest of the shoot seems fleshy/"soggy"). The new leaves seem just dandy, no mites, no bugs, nothing. I bottom water for 25 mins when it's dry, it has indirect sunlight!!!! please help!!!aaaaah!!

|Hi Blue - welcome to the crowd,
Where did you get your violet from? Home Depot?
- Posted by blueviolet (My Page) on Thu, Jun 15, 06 at 20:40
|I bought it at a local supermarket. It was beautiful at the store(I guess from the 24 hour fluorescent lights on it!). I also bought a pink violet and a white one the same day, and they are just huge now!! But the sick one (it used to have tiny purple flowers) is nasty looking. I took off all the dead leaves/flower stems and left 3 old leaves and the "newbies" attached to the crown. Then I took it out of the pot, dried out the soil with paper towels repotted, and now I'm just crossing my fingers!!! :D
|Blue -
if you look back at some of our threads there is a lot of discussions about store bought violets, why they die and how to revive them. Pay attention to Korina's posts - she is very passionate about it.
Basically you need to repot to a significantly lighter soil, do not overwater it and wait to get it acclimatized to you home. Remove all flowers. These plants are grown in a very humid environment, under the lights and in a heavy peat soil. They are expected to bloom for 10 days and then die and be tossed so you get yourself another centerpiece from the same store. With appropriate care they will live and bloom for you for many years. the record old plant is 50 years old - Superman its name.
There is a useful info in the FAQs on this forum, www.rachelsreflections.com site - so you will feel more comfortable dealing with these plants. And please ask your questions. We all are very happy to have a new grower joining us, learning and becoming a pro, sharing with us successes and losses, pics and ideas.
Good Luck

similar genes or proteins whose functions have already been identified, the researcher might be able to determine the function of the new item or at least make a reasonable guess.
In the simplest cases, data mining might work like this: A genome scientist has a new, unidentified human gene in hand and proceeds to search through genome databases on other species—the mouse, the fruit fly, the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, and so on—looking for known genes with a similar genetic sequence. Different species share many of the same genes; although the sequence of a particular gene might vary from species to species (more for distantly related species than for closely related ones), it is generally feasible to pick out genes in different species that correspond to a particular gene of interest. If a database search turns up such correspondences, the researcher now has solid evidence about what the newly discovered gene might do.
In reality, the database analysis of genes and proteins has become far more sophisticated than that simple searching for "homologues, " or items with similar structures. For instance, Brutlag noted, researchers have developed databases of families of sequences in which each family consists of a group of genes or proteins that have a structure or function in common. When a new gene or protein is found, its discoverer can compare it not just one on one with other individual genes or proteins, but with entire families, looking for one in which it fits. This is a more powerful technique than one-to-one comparisons because it relies on general patterns instead of specific details. Just as an unusual-looking mutt can be identified as a dog even if it cannot be classified as a particular breed, a new protein can often be placed in a family of proteins even if it is not a homologue of any known protein.
Researchers have developed a series of databases that can be used to classify genes and proteins, each with a different technique for identifying relationships: sequence motifs, consensus sequences, position-specific scoring matrices, hidden Markov models, and more. "I can hardly keep up with the databases myself," Brutlag said. With these techniques, researchers can now usually determine what a newly discovered human gene or protein does on the basis of nothing more than the information available in databases, Brutlag said. About a year before the workshop, his group created a database of all known human proteins and their functions. Over the next year, each time a new human protein was analyzed, they analyzed it by using homologues and a technique developed in Brutlag's laboratory called eMATRICES. "Using both methods, we assigned biologic functions to almost 77% of the human proteins. More than three-fourths of new proteins could be characterized by a technician who never left his computer; although the ultimate test remains experi-

We use XenServer here (5 hosts, 2 SANs) haven't bothered with the HA as yet but DCs are virtualised (95% of servers are in fact) just the print server (seems to run quicker like that) and my TMG and proxy servers are physical just because the hosts don't have enough NIC ports to have them going through our router.
One larger server - a Dell R510 (or similar from whichever supplier you prefer - VeryPC's server's look interesting, being designed to be power efficient), with as much RAM as you can reasonably afford (up to about 32GB seems to be reasonable on those at the moment, but shop around). Dual processors, with as many cores as possible, but don't worry too much about the clock speed - you want more cores available to run virtual machines. Something like the R510 will take (I think) 8 harddrives - get a good hardware RAID controller (decent ones start from about £300), but you can get harddrives from anywhere you like, Dell charge a silly amount for their harddrives. If you're using XenServer, it only uses a 4GB partition for the actual VM host OS, and I think those R510s probably have an internal USB port for a memory stick that you could use for the OS, leaving all your harddrives free for VMs.
For a school, you'll probably need VMs for a DC, print server, MIS, and a general apps server. If your budget only runs to the single server then you'll also need a VM for a file server. Your VM system will probably pool the storage for you and allow you to split it up at will to share between VMs as you need, but on something like Xen you can assign a VM an actual block device, so you can hand a VM a whole RAID array to itself if you want, avoiding multiple layers of abstraction at the disk layer. If you can afford a bit more, have a separate, good-sized server for file shares (just a processor, RAID card and a bunch of harddrives is all you need, so you could just build it yourself) and a big-as-you-can-afford file server for backups (but that one doesn't need to have a RAID card, it doesn't matter if it's a bit slower). Sync files nightly from your live file server to the backup with rsync or similar, deduplicating files on the backup server so you can store several weeks worth of changes to your assorted file shares.
If you have a separate physical location to place servers, or if you need a second server to take some load, then probably a second R510 or similar but maybe with a single processor and less RAM - just enough to run vital services if the other machine conks out and you need to get it back running. You backup server should also be able to act as a main, if slower, file server if needed.
I started our virtualisation project in a slightly unconventional way. I could not get the money to purchase a 2 hosts + SAN system so instead I went for 1 host + SAN with the 2nd host in the following years development bid. I went for a SAN so that I could use VMotion in VMWare to cope with failures in the hardware. It would be possible to do a system on the cheap by running several VM's on a single host's internal storage, but you would loose the ability to migrate them instantly on hardware failure (or maintenance).
Once I got the 1 host + SAN up and running I only migrated a couple of servers to it rather than everything. I did this because I did not want to get into the position of having all my critical systems running on one physical server. It did mean that I could upgrade my aging and slow SIMS server this year and then migrate other servers to the virtual environment once I get the 2nd host.
I did decide to get an expert in to configure VMWare and the iSCSI SAN even though I cost quite a lot. I thought that even though I could do it I wanted to make sure that the foundation of my systems were solid. The last thing I wanted with a virtual system was to have the physical systems or VMWare to be flaky. I also thought that as we are currently a little understaffed that I could not afford the time out to research and plan the setting up.
Thats the beauty of virtualisation, you can build it in stages.
There is absolutely no need to do everything all in one go.
So much to think about. So much in the air. SO many conflicting pieces of advice.
I have just completed my virtualisation project. We run a 2 node cluster with a SAN for now with a third machine connected to san for backup. As we run VMWare 5 and VCentre and I found that I could not get my LTO5 picked up on VMWare. So that is physical running Backup Exec and then the virtual agents are installed on each VM. The hardware is 2 Dell T410's with 32GB ram and 2.4 XEON processors and a HP P2000 storageworks SAN with a single controller with 3TB storage ( this is enough for now as we are only a Middle School ) On this we have everything virtualised and we are running 11 VM's and thus far everything is running fine..... Probably put the death curse on it now!!!
We started out getting our SAN a couple of years ago to increase the storage across our user servers which were rapidly filling up, and which were also quite old and needed replacing. We knew that we would virtualise at some point too, so the SAN made sense.
We did the virtualisation last year and we have the following setup -
1 x EMC CX4 SAN
3 x SAN Hosts (32GB Ram Dual 6-Core Processors)
VMWare ESXi
12 x Virtual Servers
Our FRDC and Exchange servers are still physical at the moment as they are fairly new and still under their hardware warranty. Once that runs out, they will be turned into VMs too.
Our experience has been really positive and the system is really easy to use. My big concern was for the performance of the SIMs server, but its never been an issue.
I cant speak about the other flavours of Virtualisation software, but VMWare has worked perfectly for us.
Been a Hyper-v fan myself as on a school license 3node clustering and SCVMM integration is about as cheap as it gets.
Shared storage makes it easy to move VM's from host to host be it a CSV or a mountable LUN individual servers with local storage for VMs is fine for a bunch of application servers but storage that can be re-assigned on the fly between hosts has clear advantages.
That being the case it doesn't have to be £30k's worth of Equallogic or Lefthand....
In our experience of cheap SANs they have all performed well and been highly resilient however as volumes get larger the challenge of backups, snapshots & recovery get more and more complex.
This normally results in what should be a simple Virtualization project into a complex and sometimes costly excersise to provide the 24/7/365 expectations of the SMT to whom once you start evangelising about your new virtual server farm will expect if not demand it!
Without total duplication of hardware and storage this type of enterprise uptime target is impossible to guarantee on a tight budget, but Windows Server 8 and Hyper-V 3 look set to change this completely.
Hyper-V Replica: New VM replication tool for cost-conscious IT shops
If I were starting from scratch I would certainly recommend taking a close look at what Hyper-V 3 is shortly to bring to the Virtual circus, storing and running VMs over SMB shares, live VM replication, NFS support, all features that on paper at least levels the playing field and will eliminate many of the challenges currently encountered when trying to achieve utopia on a budget of £2.50 per user....
I'm currently waiting on confirmation of a virtualisation project at our campus - but rather than buying a pile of new stuff, this is a 'mid-way' project. We have a DAS array already, which I intend to utilise by replacing the controller card for a newer model to achieve RAID 6, then upgrade 3 relatively new Dell R610s (the old provider put 4GB RAM and 1 CPU in each) to have dual quad core CPUs and 32GB RAM each, stick Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 on one of the older machines to run the DAS (with its deduplication built in), and move things on to that set up using Hyper-V.
Total cost is about £4k.
Then, in a few years time when the DAS should be replaced, it will be replaced with at least 1, probably 2 SANs.
There is no need to do everything at once - doing so is very costly.
HP ProLiant DL165 G7 Server series Small & Medium Business
We just are small primary i think getting SANs would be overkill, maybe get a extra NAS to replicate
Any thoughts anyone?
Eventually we are hopefully going down the RDS route so would a SAN then be necessary?
SANS are designed for large scale storage in data centers really...
Why even bother with centralized storage? We just use the internal disk of the server.
Virtulization lets you take images of your servers to your hearts content so there is no need to really worry about downtime of a disk if you have a regular backup strategy.
EDIT: I specked up a Dell 1u server with the fastest Xeon chip and 24gb of ram for under a grand the other day. Can't say fairer than that :)

Chloe Grace Moretz Confronts Her Own Mortality

The action started in 1999 with the founding of the event by Robert Rosenberg, local film activist and long-time member of the now-defunct Alliance Cinema; he also had a hand in the Queer Flickering Light Festival, a prequel to the present fest. With Rosenberg's vision, energy, and experience as director, the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival exploded out of the box its first year and grew steadily with every event, increasing its audience by more than twenty percent each following year.
The festival was a success by any measure, becoming one of the highlights on the city's cultural calendar and attracting some 13,000 people each of the last two seasons. The programming kept expanding as well, with screenings of some of the best film offerings out there in gay and lesbian independent cinema, putting the festival in a league with such established, long-running events as the 28-year-old San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.
All was splendid, or so it seemed, until September of 2002 when Rosenberg was suddenly and dramatically given the boot as festival director. Accusations and explanations went back and forth between the festival's board members and Rosenberg, who had a reputation as difficult to work with -- too difficult, according to the board. The board took heat for turning out one of Miami's true cultural visionaries.
But amid all the flying fur, quietly assuming directorship duties was Carol Coombes, festival manager since November 2001, who came over from the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. And while the tremendous growth the festival has enjoyed since its inception has held steady these past two seasons, the offscreen distractions have subsided.
"I owed a huge debt and trust in confidence with Robert Rosenberg because he was the person responsible for getting me my alien work permit to work in America with the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, so I was in a very bizarre position last year," says Coombes.
Whatever anger and resentment lingered from Rosenberg's dismissal, it was aimed more at the board than a staff member such as Coombes with no voting power. But the biggest consequence for the festival may be the cutting of full-time staff from four to two, which presents a challenge to keep the event growing and vital. It's unfortunate considering the opportunity to expand at a time when gay life is more in the mainstream than ever, with the popularity of shows such as Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and Queer as Folk.
Besides expanding the number of venues, from Regal Cinemas on South Beach and the Gusman Center in downtown Miami to the Shores Theater in Miami Shores and Cinema Paradiso in Fort Lauderdale, not much has changed from the Rosenberg years. There's still the same array of short films, documentaries, and independent features from so many countries (Iceland, Israel, Cuba) that the word "International" should be added to the festival's name.
But it's an American film that opens the festival to great fanfare and precedes the opening-night gala. Written and directed by Richard Day, Straight-Jacket follows the Fifties-era sexploits of Hollywood's leading man Guy Stone, played with wonderfully smarmy charm by Matt Lescher (think a likable Greg Kinnear). On the verge of a scandal that would out the actor, and ruin his chances to play Ben-Hur, Stone agrees to marry Sally, the unwitting studio secretary. Along the way, Stone falls for fresh-scrubbed writer Rick, and ends up in unfamiliar territory -- searching his own soul. The high-gloss film has the tone of the stage play from which it was adapted, with an intimate feel and a focus on character interaction, though it seems just as much a vehicle for Day's writerly wit and constant stream of irreverent one-liners.
No matter how good the film, festival-goers may be squirming in their seats in anticipation of the following blowout party (an aspect of the festival Coombes and Co. have put lots of attention and energy into). At $126 a pop, the shindig comes with a Fifties Hollywood theme, red-carpet runway, and a diva in Joan Rivers drag dishing on all who enter.
Another highlight of the festival, and one that gives it the indie cred it may lack with mainstream-friendly glossy comedies, is the film The Raspberry Reich and an appearance by its director -- the provocateur Bruce LaBruce. Typical of his other works, like Hustler White and Super 8 1/2, The Raspberry Reich is a dark-humored, biting satire, with hilarious scenarios and lots of raunchy and real sex scenes. The film is about Gudrun, the nymphomaniac leader of the revolutionary terrorist group the Raspberry Reich, who forces her male, straight followers to have sex with their kidnap victim, the son of a wealthy German banker, in order to liberate themselves from heterosexual repression.
It's safe to say The Raspberry Reich won't be an audience favorite, with a midnight viewing that reflects this. Coombes notes that people walked out of its screening at the Sundance Film Festival, as well as at a festival in Berlin.

In See America First, Marguerite Shaffer chronicles the birth of modern American tourism between 1880 and 1940, linking tourism to the simultaneous growth of national transportation systems, print media, a national market, and a middle class with money and time to spend on leisure. Focusing on the See America First slogan and idea employed at different times by railroads, guidebook publishers, Western boosters, and Good Roads advocates, she describes both the modern marketing strategies used to promote tourism and the messages of patriotism and loyalty embedded in the tourist experience. She shows how tourists as consumers participated in the search for a national identity that could assuage their anxieties about American society and culture.
Generously illustrated with images from advertisements, guidebooks, and travelogues, See America First demonstrates that the promotion of tourist landscapes and the consumption of tourist experiences were central to the development of an American identity.
"Shaffer's book is a welcome, and indeed much needed, contribution to the growing body of literature on tourism in the United States, and even more specifically, on the relationship between tourism and nationalism. The book points to the increasing sophistication with which scholars are approaching the subject."–Scott Zeman, H-Net Review
"See America First is the first comprehensive assessment of tourism and the formation of a twentieth-century American identity. The voyage of discovery is both individual and national, cultural and personal. . . . Shaffer shows how local and regional businesses collaborated to create a national message that a willing nation embraced."–Hal Rothman, University of Nevada-Las Vegas

This is your property ?
Tiled floors, stone walls, exposed beams
Les Canardeaux combines rustic simplicity with modern conveniences, a perfect vacation home for country walks, horse riding, fishing, wine tasting and visiting chateaux. The 8m x 4 m pool has a security cover and alarm, more than ensuring compliance with new French safety laws. On the terrace, a long table overlooks the pool, and the barbeque is nearby. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable in any season with beautiful oak and pine furniture throughout. In the living area, there are squashy leather chairs and a sofa for lounging by the log fire or satellite TV. Over-sized duvets and hot water bottles are provided in the bedrooms.
Ambrault is in the Berry, the southern part of the Loire Valley, ideally situated for exploring the whole region. To the north are the grand chateaux of the Loire River such as Chambord and Valencay, the historic town of Bourges, the fine wines of Sancerre. To the west you will find the Brenne Natural Regional Park with its lakes for fishing and picnics, and the Haute-Touche Nature Reserve where wild animals roam freely. To the east, the picturesque town of La Châtre; to the south the vast lake of Eguzon for water sports. A notable weekly market takes place at St Août (10 minutes' drive) and you should visit the excellent restaurants such as the St Germain at Sassierges and the Restaurant de la Gare at Ardentes. Interesting walks and a tranquil riverside for fishing are on the doorstep.
The two 18-hole golf courses are about half an hour's drive away to the west and east, and there is a 9-hole course just up the road.
Stocking up with supplies is not a problem as there are two supermarkets that open on Sunday mornings. There is also a large Auchan hypermarket on the outskirts of Chateauroux for shopping trips from Monday to Saturday.
The house: I enjoyed furnishing Les Canardeaux, over-spending my budget in local shops and markets. Books, games, DVDs and music CDs are available. The wines of our region are not to be missed and a small selection is stored in the old bread oven that serves as a wine cellar. I am a keen cook and you will find balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and Dijon mustard as standard, as well as an extensive range of herbs and spices. There are plenty of pots and pans in good working order (no loose handles) and generous-sized dishes holding enough for everyone.
Outside: The garden stretches out beyond the pool with nothing to block the stunning sunrises and sunsets we experience. You are welcome to pick the grapes, plums, cherries and apples. The entrance is secured with a lockable iron gate and there is room for up to 3 cars to park.
Lifestyle: If you want to experience life in the heart of France, stay at Les Canardeaux for a couple of weeks. There are few tourists other than some discerning French who try to keep the Berry a secret. Meet our friendly French neighbours, if you wish, and unwind in the peaceful countryside. The pool is there for your use in summer and the log fire in winter. You can enjoy a quiet day in the sun or explore the many interesting walks, chateaux, golf courses and much more - all within driving distance of the house.

Location & area
Les Canardeaux is located in a rural hamlet close to the village of Ambrault and within easy reach of the mediaval city of Issoudun and the major town of Chateauroux. It lies between rolling farmland and extensive woodland in a hitherto little-known region called The Berry. The Foret de Bommiers is on the doorstep and can be explored on foot or by bicycle. George Sand, the French writer and companion of Chopin, adored this countryside and her house at Nohant is open to visitors. The nearest golf course is about 10 minutes' drive away at Sainte Fauste and there are two more courses within easy driving distance. The vineyards of Chateaumeillant, Reuilly/Quincy and Valencay are within easy reach. Nearby are the chateaux of Ars, Lys St George and Sarzay - enchanting fairy tale castles nestling in the forests. Simple, inexpensive meals are available in Bommiers, Maron, Vouillon and Ambrault, and there is an exceptionally good restaurant at Sassierges St Germain. All villages are just a few minutes' drive from the house. There is a renowned market every Tuesday morning at St Aout, 9 kilometres away, where you can also purchase fishing permits in the local café and go horse riding. A baker's van calls three times a week, and there is a baker and grocer three minutes' drive away in the village of Ambrault. Banks can be found in St Aout and Ardentes where there is also a supermarket, and close by on the outskirts of Chateauroux is a huge Auchan hypermarket.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Our FREE services save you not only time and labor cost but also landfill fees.
Reusable items taken to one of our three Home Centers in San Antonio are sold to the public at a low cost resulting in funding the of construction of simple, decent and affordable homes for local low-income families in need.

Meet our newest House Sponsors: Donald and Betty Child
First heard of Habitat: They learned about Habitat through their church – Christ Church.
Path to house sponsorship: While the Childs donated to Habitat over the course of the last 20 years they decided they wanted to personally make a major impact on a family. They saved their money and funded the house for the Barba family. Betty said, "It was our dream to help another family have a home." They hope to help even more families in the future!
Family: The Childs have been married for 66 years! (If you meet them… ask to see the picture of them in front of the Old Route 66 sign.) They raised two children and have two grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
How long they lived in own home: They have been homeowners for 60 years. Their hope is to bless the Barba family with this same gift.
Fun fact: Betty taught at Kelly Elementary for 5 years in the early 1960s. Kelly Elementary is right around the corner from the Barba's new home and where their kids will attend school.
Meet the Barba family
First heard of Habitat: Oscar Barba and Jazmin Vazquez initially learned about Habitat's homeownership program when they drove past a billboard about Habitat. Then, after hearing about the positive experience a family friend had when she became a Habitat homeowner, they gave it more thought and decided to apply.
Path to homeownership: The Barba family no longer wants to throw money away renting something that doesn't belong to them. They want to own their own home to establish stability for their growing family. They are excited about their children having their own yard to run, jump and play in without limitations.
Family: Oscar and Jazmin have been married for 7 years. They have two children (Santiago, age 6 and Matteo, age 4).
What are they most looking forward to about their new home: The Barba family is excited and thankful for the opportunity to own their own affordable home. They plan to stay involved with Habitat beyond program completion to help other families fulfill their dreams of becoming homeowners as well.
Fun fact: Since getting accepted into Habitat's homeownership program the Barba family has been blessed with another child on the way!
Sponsorship opportunities are available to corporations, churches, civic and professional groups, and individuals. For more information about sponsorship levels and the corresponding benefits, please visit www.HabitatSA.org/Support/Sponsorship or call 210-223-5203 x157.

Berto's muscle mass is one of the main reasons he tires, besides the poor defense isn't much help either…Posted August 14, 2013 10:57 am
Berto is not muscle bound… He just can't box.Posted August 14, 2013 1:11 am
…… "Robinson did not lift weights and was not muscular, but could flatten you with one shot."
I remember one 1-punch KO… Even Floyd has a couple of those.. Robinson couldn't hurt Joey Maxim or Ralph Jones.. Ray punched himself out vs Maxim and ran all night vs Jones — getting his ass kicked all the way.Posted August 14, 2013 1:08 am
Berto is muscle bound. Stop with the weights. His movements are not fluid. He is as stiff as a board and has little head movement because of his thick neck muscles. Robinson did not lift weights and was not muscular, but could flatten you with one shot. Berto is damaged goods and on the road to pugilistic dementia – this is a good time to call it a career.Posted August 13, 2013 8:28 pm
Doing barbell bench presses locks your wrists and is tough on the shoulders… Boxers should do dumbbell presses because they isolate the punching muscles better and you turn your wrists in a natural punching motion with better extension and better distance on each rep.Posted August 13, 2013 1:06 pm

"Also, generally speaking, lifting weights doesn't cause injury. Improperly lifting weight can. There's a right way and a wrong way to do the bench press, but that's definitely one weight lifting exercise, that if not done properly, will tear up a rotator cuff in short time." – Hildago is correct. I tore my rotator cuff lifting, but this was after years of lifting weights properly. Then one time I did it wrong and it got tore the hell up.Posted August 13, 2013 12:35 pm
I would think Conte should be some how looked into or possibly avoided. He handled Donaire, Berto and Ward and all of them had shoulder injuries. He is definitely not doing something right.Posted August 13, 2013 12:12 pm

Thanks Hildalgo, I don't know much about steroids…Posted August 13, 2013 12:10 pm
Berto WILL be back… Back on the canvas.Posted August 13, 2013 10:33 am
Ernie, steroids may build up your muscular mass but cannot provide proportionate strength to your tendons and ligaments. which means, they weaken and users often suffer from ligament tears and ruptures.Posted August 13, 2013 10:31 am
How about chin surgery..Posted August 13, 2013 9:14 am

Yeah right, there was no crack back then, unless you consider your mothers, which was always open for the fleet…Posted August 13, 2013 4:49 am

Berto will be back!Posted August 13, 2013 4:23 am
Just bad genes enema schnozzle… And the fact that your mother got high on crack when you were in the womb.
But if it was one or two of Conte's clients who had problems It wouldn't be weird.. It's 5 top boxers that have gone with Conte and they all go on the shelf with shoulder injuries..
It's like 5 brothers all winning lottery jackpots in consecutive years.Posted August 13, 2013 2:15 am
It's Me, Ernie
I have torn my left cuff to shreds yet the surgery ten years ago brought it almost all the way back luckily. Ruptured my right Achilles twice but not so lucky with that. Weird, I have NEVER taken steroids of any kind, yet I have had tendon/muscle issues and have never met Conte or the cnut Tark…Posted August 13, 2013 1:20 am

This fight should have been an eye opener for berto. He was doong great with the jab, gey better, come back and use that jab the same way.Posted August 13, 2013 12:36 am
Berto, LAY OFF THE BENCH PRESS!! I guarantee the number 1 reason his shoulder is always bothering him is his obsesssion with lifting weights.
It's boxing not bodybuilding, all those muscles aren't helping.Posted August 12, 2013 11:53 pm
I see Good
Speaking of TORN ROTATOR CUFFS. I torn BOTH of mine . I have NEVER been the same, I have LOST 30% movement. I shoulder I cant raise past my my jaw. So berto is finish. He was done anyway. Once you go under the KNIFE you are NEVER EVER 100% again. I also had a ALC and I wear a brace. Doctors said I would be fine. Thats a lot of crap.Posted August 12, 2013 11:00 pm

Tark, did you see the news yesterday regarding A-Rod? He secretly met with Conte in the Fall of 2012. Conte claims A-Rod just popped up out of nowhere, asked to meet with him, and didn't ask him for anything illegal. A-Rod claimed that he was secret about it because he didn't want his teammates to get the wrong idea. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm……..Posted August 12, 2013 7:24 pm

Berto has lost his last 2 bouts since getting busted for steroids. No roids = empty shell. And I don't buy the torn rotator cuff injury excuse for his loss to Soto Karass. There's a huge range of severity wither these injuries and often boxers elect to not do surgery, instead favoring rest to heal up.Posted August 12, 2013 4:32 pm

I can't see him fighting anyone of importance. it's such a dramatic fall from being the favorite in his fight vs. Ortiz, to 2 straight losses against fighters moving up from 140. His name isn't valuable enough for a young guy like Bronner or Thurman to risk their 0. Even though he was stopped late against Soto Karass and made it through to the final bell in the Guerrero fight, he took a beating in both.Posted August 12, 2013 3:36 pm

More Mass hikes: NH Advantage gets a bit stronger
To prevent MBTA fare hikes this year (next year, who knows?), Bay State legislators passed an $800 million transportation bill that would raise taxes by $500 million. The bill raises the cigarette tax by $1 per pack and the gasoline tax by three cents per gallon. It also applies the state sales tax to computer software services. Gov. Deval Patrick previously vetoed the bill — because it did not raise taxes enough!
The New Hampshire Advantage has just been made a little stronger. Thanks, Massachusetts.
