All Critics (67) | Top Critics (24) | Fresh (43) | Rotten (22) | DVD (1)
All in all-if all is meant moderately-the story leaves an agreeable aftertaste, which lingers longer than we expected.
Beautifully filmed, well acted and a topical reminder that success isn't about how much money you have, but how you live - and boil your eggs.
The unreconstructed nature of the comedy ensures that the jokes and even the shots are awfully familiar.
Let's just say that this is not a film that will endear itself to a female audience.
Several stalwarts of European cinema retread familiar territory in this light-as-a-feather upstairs/downstairs comedy set in 1960s Paris.
Warm-hearted but silly French comedy, set in 1960 and starring the excellent Fabrice Luchini as a stockbroker in the stuffy world of the Parisian haute bourgeoisie.
The socio-economic moral is ladled on like great big dollops of paella.
Around the gentle tale of romance and longing there are some serious comments on class, politics, the legacy of the Spanish Civil War and European life in the era of Mad Men.
Luchini almost rescues it from its own complacency, but the script is equal parts blocked toilets and soft-boiled eggs.
Que pasa? Rien d'importance.
The film sidesteps all complexities and leaves us with a closing shot that should come with a bucket.
Enjoyable, frequently funny French comedy with likeable characters and a strong central premise, though the script wobbles in the final act and the conclusion fails to convince.
Enjoyably satirical and occasionally insightful, it's betrayed by some lazy stereotyping.
A frothy French fancy with a warm heart at it's core.
What is an occasionally charming upstairs/downstairs comedy is overshadowed by one unintentionally creepy relationship.
This delightful slice-of-life observation on class distinctions will make you feel good inside. Luchini carries the movie as the central character with physical mannerisms that have a comedic bent. Other strengths include...
They romanticize the whole idea of these women. I mean, they're all essentially interchangeable.
Fabrice Luchini (Potiche) is immensely likeable as the film's shy leading man and the chatty maids have a humorous, cheeky disposition.
The film is better at exploring the human connection between Jean-Louis and the maids as a group than it is delving into a romantic connection between Jean-Louis and Maria.
A wonderful ensemble piece of work, with plenty of texture, a few well observed social barbs (as is usual in films about the bourgeoisie) and occasionally unexpected twists and turns
Audience Reviews for The Women on the 6th Floor
I am NOT a French movie fan by any means, but every once in awhile I find myself pleasantly surprised by one. This splendid little film will be added to my "pleasantly surprised" category. Sweet. Charming. Plenty of things to smile about....
MoreSuper Reviewer
In "The Women on the 6th Floor," business may be booming for Jean-Louis(Fabrice Luchini) in 1962, but at home, things could could not be any less smooth. It all started six months previously when his mother died, so his wife Suzanne(Sandrine Kiberlain) figures it is time to start throwing out stuff. Except their maid Germaine(Michele Gleizer) objects to the point of handing in her notice. And with things bordering on chaos, Suzanne takes her friends' advice, and instead of hiring another maid from Brittany, hires Maria(Natalia Verbeke) right off the bus from Spain. Inexperienced as she is, Maria gets some much needed help from her aunt Concepcion(Carmen Maura) and her compatriots on her first day at work.
"The Women on the 6th Floor" is an amusing comedy of manners that Fabrice Luchini does his best to make up for all of the plot holes and improbabilities, with the help of one great exchange.(Plus, how can you hate a comedy with a likable Communist character?) As important as it is to remember that 1962 is very different from today, it is also a year where change is in the air for France, with the Algerian war having just finished, not only for the country as a whole where the native culture gets to assimilate one culture while figuring out which one to hate next, but also on a personal level. For example, Jean-Louis' liberation comes from a different source with his parents now deceased but it is no less important.

From eBay to Bidtopia: Bargainland's Success Story

From eBay to Bidtopia: Bargainland's Success Story
Bargainland was one of eBay's highest volume sellers, reaching nearly 30,000 concurrent auctions in 2007. Many will remember eBay member Bargainland for its no-reserve, 99-cent as-is auctions. Everything from dog toys to kitchen furniture and eighteen-wheelers were listed by this eBay user in an auction format starting at 99 cents.
Bargainland CIO Paul St. James told Ecommerce-Guide.com that Bargainland sold only stressed inventory; merchandise that otherwise would never continue on forward through the retail chain. "Our diversity of products was literally everything under the sun, with no specific category or niche. We're talking about the lowest grade of store returns up to brand new merchandise that is discontinued from bankruptcy, or product that was on a train that derailed. We really had no clue from one day to the next what we would be selling."
Bargainland offered dollar no-reserve, as-is auctions, and this selling model quickly became very popular. Last year it landed Bargainland the title of the highest volume seller on eBay, with an ASP (average selling price) around 50 dollars. Bargainland's facility is an immense warehouse, housing over 60 people just to list on eBay as product arrives at the warehouse. St. James said that last year the company did tens of millions of dollars worth of business through eBay.
While this in itself is an eBay success story, unfortunately, new eBay policies and changes began crippling Bargainland's business.
The Trouble with eBay
According to St. James, Bargainland (which is also a company named for the popular eBay user ID), was greatly affected by changes at eBay. Policies on designer brand names, for example, limited Bargainland to listing only five of these items at a time, and in other instances, Bargainland was required to have a 98 or 99 percent positive feedback. St. James said that when you sell this type of product, even if you list every single item as damaged in the description, you just cannot achieve that high of a rating. The company also believed that eBay, through its new policy changes, was discouraging the types of listings that was the core of its business.
St. James told Ecommerce-Guide.com that they were asked by eBay to cut back the number of listings or change to a different type of auction. According to St. James, eBay wanted Bargainland to cut its eBay business by 75 percent. He said, "We were doing tens of millions of dollars worth of business with them, and really, how can you cut back 75 percent of that in three months?"
Despite the problems caused by eBay's requests, St. James said he is sympathetic to the reasoning behind eBay's new philosophy of moving toward more fixed-price listings, and he remains an eBay fan. So, he simply started adjusting his business model. Bargainland did comply with eBay's terms, and as its number of listings decreased, the company looked at other online auction sites, discovering that no one could handle its volume, or even a fraction of it. When using other sites didn't pan out, the company accelerated its own in-house development.
Bargainland's Own Site is Born
Within a month, Bargainland came up with a basic site to host its own auctions. Bargainland was still selling on eBay, but in greatly reduced numbers. From the moment the new site launched, St. James said it was successful, and over the next two months, the company focused on stabilizing the site and moving more of its listings from eBay to its server. Bargainland realized that in a short time it had met the ASP attained on eBay.
Laughing, St. James said he wished he could say that this has been the company's plan all along. However St. James said that achieving identical ASPs but with more bids per listing on its own site (compared to eBay) was a total surprise.
Bargainland didn't see any need to continue with eBay and switched everything over to its own servers a marketplace that was developed and intended to be its private Bargainland 99-cent, no reserve auction site.
PowerSellers Come Calling
Word of Bargainland leaving eBay made its way through online selling circles, and calls started coming in from other eBay sellers, wanting to sell on Bargainland's site. There was one problem: the platform had not been designed to support multiple sellers, only Bargainland's own inventory. So, the company decided to give it a test run with a single seller who agreed to the mandate of only offering items in a true auction format starting at 99 cents.
What Bargainland found is that the test seller brought traffic in through his own channels and those customers not only bid on his items, but also cross-bid on Bargainland's products, increasing the company's ASP. The test seller coming in to Bargainland's site also reaped the rewards of Bargainland's existing customer base.
St. James said, "We tried it with one seller, and it worked well so that we moved to a beta program called 'The Dirty Dozen," which let 12 other sellers try the code and process in a rough state. These beta testers were satisfied with the results, so we moved forward."
The Result: Bidtopia
With other sellers onboard beta testing the site, it was apparent that the marketplace was no longer just a platform for Bargainland, but rather a group of like-minded 99-cent, no reserve sellers. To this end, Bargainland formed Bidtopia.com.
The company bought the source code for a dated, barely functional auction Web site and, using the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition development system, rapidly modified the several-year-old application, launching the new site in a month. Bargainland is now updating Bidtopia.com to run on the Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.5.
Meanwhile, the biggest hurdle for Bidtopia so far, has been adapting the platform designed for Bargainland's own use to make it accessible to other big sellers.
St. James said that since Bargainland had its own API, they assumed other big sellers would also have their own to connect to Bidtopia. They soon learned, however, that many sellers did not have their own API, and many were using third-party tool providers who could not hook in to Bidtopia. This, according to St. James, has been the biggest stumbling block.
Fortunately, Auction Floor stepped in and launched its beta version of a tool that interfaces with the Bidtopia API, and in our interview, St. James indicated that several other tool providers have projects and betas in the works.
While this sounds like a viable venue for eBay merchants looking to leave or expand their sales channels, it's important to note that Bidtopia is not for the average small eBay seller. In fact, it's not even designed for the Bronze or Silver eBay PowerSellers.

When joining Bidtopia, sellers must also sign rights that allow Bidtopia to come in and inspect their facility with a 24-hour notice. This, according to St. James, is to ensure the seller is a legitimate business with inventory in stock. While the rules and regulations are strict, St. James believes this is key in ensuring a high level of quality and standards for sellers and buyers on Bidtopia.com.
If a person is not capable of conducting a PayPal or credit card transaction, St. James says that there isn't much value in having them on Bidtopia. To this end, every buyer must pay a 99-cent fee to join Bidtopia. This fee processing helps Bidtopia ensure that the person is capable of conducting an online retail transaction.
"If a buyer is suspended for any number of reasons, we can keep them off the site through their sign-up information and initial 99 cent fee. It's near impossible to join Bidtopia, get suspended and be able to register as a different user."
Bargainland, Bidtopia... What's The Difference?
Bidtopia is a completely separate company from Bargainland. On the Bidtopia site, Bargainland pays the same 2.75 percent final value fee, as other sellers do, and also receives no more priority than any other seller. On Bidtopia, Bargainland is now just one of several Bidtopia sellers. Auction search results are ranked by bid activity, and search results are not based, in way, on seller identity, according to St. James.
Currently the listings are predominately Bargainland's, but St. James said this will change, and he indicated that we can expect to see sellers on Bidtopia who sell even larger volumes than Bargainland.
Going from number one volume eBay seller, to selling on its own Web site, to forming a new company and auction Web for like-minded volume sellers, has been a long journey for eBay user ID Bargainland. St. James said the company's success is possible only because of its loyal customers on eBay.
"I doubt that too many other sellers really could have done this. Being the largest and having done this for 10 years meant that when we started out on our own, we had an enormous following of loyal repeat customers who purchased, on average, five items per transaction. Our customer base is what really enabled us to be successful on our own site, and now on Bidtopia."

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (X360) Review - PAGE 1
Lydia Sung - Monday, December 6th, 2010 Like (2) Share (1)Not all racing games are alike, and Criterion Studios has always emphasized this idea with the Burnout series, in which racing takes a backseat to wanton vehicular destruction. That sensibility works perfectly in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, a sub-series that debuted in the late '90s on PlayStation and PC. Only one other Hot Pursuit occupies the gap between then and now, but Criterion's reimagining stands firmly apart from its predecessors.
Hot Pursuit takes place in scenic Seacrest County, where criminals drive million-dollar getaway vehicles and cops chase them down in equally exotic cruisers. The illegal racers and Seacrest County PD go head to head in some of the world's fastest and most expensive cars, terrorizing the local populace in a reckless, never-ending game of cat 'n' mouse. It just so happens both the mice and cats come heavily armed.
Most of your time will likely be spent in Career, going through missions either as a Cop or Racer. Each side offers roughly the same amount of content, and you are free to hop between the two paths at your leisure. The ultimate goal in this single-player mode is to become the most wanted hooligan in Seacrest or achieve top rank in the SCPD, by racking up Bounty as a Racer or collecting it as a Cop.
Events are marked on an overhead map of the geographically diverse county, which feels like a compacted recreation of California. For most, the meat of the game is the Hot Pursuit events available for both career paths. As a Cop, you're tasked with chasing down Racers and putting them out of commission, employing brute force and an arsenal of non-lethal weaponry. Racers, on the other hand, need to evade police while competing against fellow lawbreakers, equipped with both offensive and defensive abilities.
Both Cops and Racers can deploy spike strips and fire EMP bursts. Additionally, Cops can set up formidable roadblocks to intercept fleeing Racers (with devastating results), or call in SCPD choppers to track targets and lay down spike strips ahead. In place of these, Racers get the Jammer, which temporarily disables SCPD weapons and mini-maps, and Turbo, massive speed boosts that put the Cops' Nitrous ability to shame.
Equipment will level up as you progress, for greater effectiveness, and the AI gets tougher as you climb the ranks (or wanted list). In later events, AI-controlled Racers will begin spamming their e-brakes and utilizing shortcuts. Similarly, AI Cops work together more efficiently to overpower you as a Racer and weave to avoid spike strips and EMP blasts. Yet Criterion keeps the difficulty balanced just right, and amazingly enough, I never once threw my controller in frustration – an absolute first for me when it comes to racing games. You're never placed miles behind the competition after a crash, and the AI never magically rubber-bands ahead. Without vehicle modding, winning comes down to pure skill behind the wheel/controller and track familiarity. In short, everything just feels fair.
Everything you do in the game will earn Bounty, so your efforts rarely feel wasted even when an event is lost. On top of improved equipment and higher ranks, Bounty also earns you better cars, unlocking higher tier vehicles for later driving events. If you're craving some relaxation between events, Freedrive is the perfect retreat. This mode is accessible from your map at any location, and basically lets you drive freely in an environment devoid of Cops and Racers, in any (unlocked) car you choose. Grand Ocean Coast plus the Bugatti Veyron in Freedrive mode equals good times.
Mingling with the heated Hot Pursuit events are previews, races, and simple timed trials, so you won't be left craving variety. The game's true value, however, can be found in the Autolog feature. It's another instance of gaming meets social networking, except the latter has been fully integrated into the game. You'll find a Photos section where your custom screenshots are stored, waiting to be shared, and the Wall, a virtual bulletin board that keeps track of your friends' in-game activity (provided they also play Hot Pursuit) in real-time.
Each time a buddy beats your score at an event, the game sends an alert, and you can immediately go to that event from there to reclaim your dominance. You may also append custom messages to these updates, but I've always preferred the passive aggression of the Autoblog's generic messages over outright trash talking. Of course, you can also hit up online multiplayer (no split-screen) and participate in small-scale races to chaotic – yet unbelievably fun – eight-player events.
In case you haven't already noticed, Hot Pursuit looks absolutely gorgeous. Every licensed vehicle is recreated in such stunning detail, and you couldn't ask for better views than those found in Seacrest. That said, the soundtrack can quickly get annoying due to repetition. The soundtrack that plays during pursuits blends in pretty well with all the action, but the song list is sorely lacking in variety. I don't actually dislike the songs in Hot Pursuit; there just aren't enough to keep them from frequently repeating.
Criterion has this habit of making awesome games, and that hasn't changed with NFS Hot Pursuit. This game crams action and racing into one neat package, combining the thrill of police chases with the sheer joy of hitting top speeds in cars most of us have only ever dreamed of. The Autolog takes friendly competition to a whole new level, reminding everyone that the sweetest victories are won not over strangers, but our friends.

quote ChaoticI share your sentiments, in a way.I've been split on this game. While I loved Burnout 3 and thought Paradise was good (although I didn't find Paradise as enjoyable as 3) AND NFS 3: Hot Pursuit on the PS1, the game has been getting slammed by user reviews on Metacritic. It has favorable critic reviews but I find that user scores are much more reliable. Although with your good score, I'm considering trying it. Maybe rent it after I'm finished with my new Steam games and Diablo 2.
While I loved most of the Burnout games, I didn't enjoy the open world of Paradise as much as the old system of selecting events on a map.
I've had a chance to look at other reviews for the game, from both professional and users, and it really does make me sad that a lot of people haven't warmed up to Hot Pursuit.
It did take me a few missions to get into the groove, so to speak, but after that, I was totally hooked.
I really do recommend you check this out, especially if you dig Burnout.
Hope you like it.
I have 2GB of RAM, 512MB in GC, Intel Core 2 duo 2.53GHz...
I loved every NFS that went out... and completed every one of them...
What do you think; could my machine handle this one well?
The latest game I played was Assassin's Creed II and with normal graphics I had no problems...
I really hope it's well optimized. Thanks
PS, I know this is X360 forum, but main article brought me here
quote T_D_IIf you can play Assassin's Creed II, then you should be fine on this one. CPU and memory both look to be enough, video card is the main factor, but it should be fine if it could handle ACII.I heard that it really playable, but I'm not sure how well my PC would take it...

Anyway, seriously, I was considering getting this game, but everyone I know who has played it, who loved Paradise, said that this game was lacking. From what I have heard, it is not free roam, and it is just a giant track racer. I have also heard that the physics of the vehicles is far more "realistic" than Paradise. I have the feeling I would be uber disappointed in this game.
I can understand that.
This is definitely a different game from Paradise.
In contrast, I didn't enjoy Paradise as much compared to the previous Burnout games (like the free roaming, eugh).
Go ahead and give it a try if you get a chance, though.

Nom banh chok
A quintessential Khmer dish
What we say:
Nom banh chok is a quintessential Khmer dish, loved by locals and tourists alike. The dish, which is similar to Thai kanom jeen, consists of rice noodles topped with a green fish gravy and heaps of fresh green beans, bean sprouts, banana flower, cucumbers and other greens. The noodles are laboriously made in the provinces and delivered to the local markets early each morning. (The excellent Asian food blog Eating Asia has a two-part post about the process of making nom banh chok noodles.)
The dish is so ubiquitous that in English it's called "Khmer noodles" and most Cambodians are convinced that the Khmers invented this type of noodle and all of the other countries in Asia with similar noodles stole the idea from them.
The dish is a typical breakfast food, and you'll find nom banh chok being sold in the early mornings at stands on the street all over Phnom Penh for less than a dollar. It also makes for a nice mid-afternoon snack, and at that time of day you can find it being sold by women walking around carrying the ingredients hanging off a pole across their shoulders. They carry bowls with them as well, and wait patiently for you to finish eating. There's also a fancy red curry version that is often served at weddings and rarely on the street. You can find both versions being sold by a remarkably friendly woman at a stall in Russian Market (Psar Toul Tom Pong).
Although these days the dish is usually sold by women, it was traditionally sold by men, as recounted in Narin Seng Jameson's cookbook about life in Phnom Penh before the Khmer Rouge, Cooking the Cambodian Way. There's even a hilarious song about two nom banh chok sellers battling to be the king of nom banh chok.

The next generation BMW 5-Series Sedan (F10) and Touring (F11) are due for full leak and release any day now, and anticipation is building up. Here we have a beautiful photoshop rendering of what the car may look like, based on the recently seen spy photos with current BMW styling themes extrapolated on top of that car

BMW has the luxury of being able to shift subtly the emphasis of the new 5-series Touring. Thanks to the arrival of the new 5-series Gran Turismo – unveiled last week – the new Five estate can fulfil a slightly different role. CAR Magazine has managed to snap some more photos of the upcoming wagon variant of the 5 series undergoing testing and it does look mighty fine.

The all new BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is not only a new model but an all new shape of vehicle in the BMW lineup. With a length nearly the size of the 7 Series, the 5 series name is somewhat deceptive as to what the actual size of this car is. The car boasts the second largest amount of legroom of all the cars in BMWs lineup. The trunk is barely smaller then that of the X5. As you are starting to realize, this car is intended to haul … CONTINUED
The first official photos of the production BMW 5-series GT have appeared! The production version will make its debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show in Sept. and will go on sale shortly after in early 2010.

Production 5-series GT spy photos keep rolling in as we head towards the car's official unveil.
As you can seen, BMW is going full steam ahead with their Touring (wagon) (F11) variant of the upcoming 5-Series. If you ask me, Im not exactly sure how the interplay betwen this car and the 5-series GT will be, but regardless the car is coming and as you can see the tape is slowly being peeled off.
BMW Insider Scott says the following:

The production version of the BMW 5-series GT continues road testing in Germany and the car seems to follow the "concept" car, that was shown off last month, nearly verbatim. These latest shots are high-resolution and shot in real world lighting which I believe show off the true curves of this car that were somewhat lost in the press release photos that were under heavy lighting. Seeing the car in real world conditions confirms to ME that this car has some very well thought out styling cues and … CONTINUED
The upcoming BMW 5-series finally looses her camoflage armour in exchange for the psychadelic graphics. BMW has officially begun the striptease for the new 5-series and I cant wait to see more….
Ever since the new BMW 5-Series (F10) has had its front bumper publically outed and then what seemed to be a page from the advertising brochure, the photoshoppers have been going all out to create mimicks of what the car may look like. Jon Sibal gives us a high quality interpretation

Talk about a major screwup. Here we have a leaked photo of the F10 5 Series front end. This is no photoshop job, this is the real deal and it seems to have been leaked WAY in advance of the release of this car and I'd have to assume this is unintended. I do have to say that this looks to be the best styled 5-series ever and I'm in serious anticipation of this car!!

These are the very first pictures of the new BMW 5-series Touring. Snapped testing in Germany, the new 5-series estate will boast BMW's latest Efficient Dynamics technology, Concept CS-inspired looks, an eight-speed automatic gearbox and a further development of the current car's aluminium and steel platform.
But the new 5-series Touring will still have a sloping rear end so if you're after a particularly roomy 5-series we'd suggest its sister, Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS) isntead, which BMW insiders claim offers as much interior space as a Rolls-Royce Phantom.… CONTINUED
I would classify this as MAJOR news. It seems somehow a photo of the new 5 Series (F10) bumper has been leaked onto the internet so we now have a complete idea of half of the front end of this car. Let the photoshopping begin!

BMW is currently developing a F5 / V5 based on the upcoming F10 5-series. Its best described as an MPV, but unlike the current Touring models the new cars will feature a taller ride-height and high roof to maximize interior space.
In these photos we can now see the exposed grill, including slats. Like the new F01 7-series, the F01 5-series clearly looks to have significantly larger kidney grills up front.

Newspaper Asks for Truce
JUAREZ- Mexican newspaper El Diario has publicly asked drug cartels in Juarez to stop killing its journalists.
In an open letter published on the front page of the newspaper on Sunday, the editorial staff urged cartels to stop the violence.
"We do not want more injuries or even more intimidation. It is impossible to exercise our role in these conditions. Tell us, then, what do you expect of us as a medium?" the newspaper wrote.
The open letter comes just days after a photography intern for the paper was shot and killed. 21 year-old Luis Carlos Santiago Orozco was the second El Diario employee murdered in as many years.
A graffiti message found Sunday afternoon in Juarez, believed to be from the Juarez Cartel, denied responsibility for Santiago's murder.
Comments News Comments
it is deplorable that two journalists have lost their lives for doing their job. But on the other hand is is just as deplorable for El Diario to even think of negotiating any kind of deal, as what do you really want us to print from now on. A newspapers job is to print the truth on a daily basis, and not just what the subscribers want printed. Shame on you EL Diario for even thing this way. Im curious if they have printed about Mexico headed to a Failed State Status.

The e1evation/Envano team has done a great deal of work over the past six months on building the 'near perfect' toolkit for the mobile journalist. It comes from our award-winning work covering trade shows for AGCO. Here's an interesting post on tools for the mobile journalist. Read the author's take and then you can have my list of tools…
"The multi-function playground that is the smartphone has shrunk the capabilities of a van-sized 1970's news team into the pocket of a single reporter. Today, front-page news can stream from any individual with a cell phone camera and a Twitter account, as it did during Iran's election protests last summer. Today, major news outlets, such as CNN, have crowdsourced parts of their newsroom to locally-savvy citizen journalists, often armed with little more than a camcorder.In addition to the standard smartphone equipment, such as a camera and social networking applications, we've compiled a list of five additional tools that can help a single journalist rival a fully-functional news team. With these tools, a mobile journalist can record data, edit clips, and broadcast polished stories as events unfold." Source: 5 Essential Tools for the Mobile Journalist
Personally? I must be cranky today because I think this list is lame! My list?
- Apple iPhone [too bad the ATT network sucks so bad! We need a Sprint MyFi as backup…]
- Kodax Zi8 HD Video camera
- Posterous
- uStream
- Picasa
- A notebook computer
- And a Humvee Combat Vest to put all the equipment in!
Our key to mobile journalism is to assign the right duties to the right assets, be they people or products. Comment, call or contact me to discuss how this applies to your business…

"Beautiful and Mountainous Matagalpa" Matagalpa by Beast
Matagalpa Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 21 photos
The department of Matagalpa is located in the northern region of the country. This mountainous area offers superb scenery and the forested slopes of the many hills and mountains provide great possibilities for white water kayaking, hiking and other outdoor activities. With around 110,000 residents Matagalpa is a fairly large city by Nicaraguan standards. There are several low end, but clean hotels and various restaurants. Matagalpa is also famous for its coffee production and it is an excellent place to learn more about how coffee is grown, harvested, and processed. Recently, the tourism sector has started to promote the coffee-route of Matagalpa. This project focuses at promoting coffee farm visits, which allows tourists to learn more about the complete process that brings the coffee bean from the plantation to the final customer. The different stages in this process include growing, harvesting, defruiting, drying, roasting, and grinding, and at many coffee farms most of these steps can be observed first-hand. Check with the INTUR office for more details. Their email address is firstname.lastname@example.com
- Pros:close to many outdoor activities and wide open natural experiences
- Cons:sometimes roads can be rough...this is a big-small town, don't expect fine dining and ritzy hotels
- In a nutshell:Love it, might end up moving there. Lots of trees, rivers and lakes. Great fishing, kayaking, rock climbing

(232 quotes found)
"I don't like Bush. I don't trust him. I don't like his record. He's stupid. He's lazy."
"Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability"
Sam Keen
"You can't imagine what a pleasure this complete laziness is to me: not a thought in my brain- you might send a ball rolling through it!"
Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
"Laziness erodes a person of his enthusiasm and energy. As a result the person loses all opportunities and finally becomes dejected and frustrated. The worst thing is that he stops believing in himself."
Sam Veda
"I like the word 'indolence'. It makes my laziness seem classy."
Bern Williams
"Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day."
Lord Chesterfield
"You can't teach people to be lazy - either they have it, or they don't."
Dagwood Bumstead
"Laziness grows on people; it begins in cobwebs and ends in iron chains"
Thomas Fowell Buxton
"Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier than helping someone move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load his shit into a truck."
Mitch Hedberg
"There are men so incorrigibly lazy that no inducement that you can offer will tempt them to work; so eaten up by vice that virtue is abhorrent to them, and so inveterately dishonest that theft is to them a master passion. When a human being has reached that stage, there is only one course that can be rationally pursued. Sorrowfully, but remorselessly, it must be recognized that he has become lunatic, morally demented, incapable of self-government, and that upon him, therefore, must be passed the sentence of permanent seclusion from a world in which he is not fit to be at large."
William Booth

Zbynek Michalek's 1st goal in 83 games helps Coyotes beat Penguins
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Two nights after losing to the Eastern Conference's worst team, the Phoenix Coyotes handled the best.
Zbynek Michalek scored against his former team, his first goal in 83 games, and the Coyotes became the first Pacific Division team to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins in regulation this season with a 3-1 victory on Saturday night.
Mike Ribeiro had a goal and an assist for Phoenix. Radim Vrbata scored the third goal for the Coyotes, who were coming off perhaps their worst loss of the season, 3-2 at home to the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night.
"I think we had something to prove," Michalek said. "We believed in this room that when we play the right way, we can play against any team. I think tonight was a great effort by everybody."
Evgeni Malkin scored for the Penguins, who entered 8-0-1 against Pacific Division foes.
Michalek's previous goal was scored on March 5, 2012, for Pittsburgh against Phoenix.
"It's been almost two years," he said. "Hopefully I don't have to wait that long for the next one."
Michalek acknowledged that he had extra motivation for this one.
"For sure," he said. "This one feels good, and for me even sweeter. Anytime you play against your former team, you want to show up, you want to win."
The Penguins, who had won three straight over the Coyotes, made their first appearance in Arizona in 3 1-2 years.
Mike Smith, back in goal after Phoenix had gone with Thomas Greiss the previous two games, made 23 saves. Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 27 shots.
With just 24 shots, the Penguins' offense was off its usual form.
"Tonight was a tough-fought game. There wasn't a lot out there," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. "That's the kind of games we expect. We have to be able to play a patient game, not be taking chances with the way we play or the way we play with the puck."
Playing in front 17,362, the Coyotes' second-largest home crowd this season, Pittsburgh fell behind 2-0. The Penguins made it a one-goal game before Vrbata's shot on a 2-on-1 rush slipped through Fleury to make it 3-1 with 15:47 to play.
The Penguins fell to 2-10 in games in which NHL scoring leader Sidney Crosby fails to get a point.
"They play good team defense as a group," Crosby said. "I think we didn't make it tough enough on them. We didn't hold the puck in their zone. They're pretty good at blocking shots and getting their stick on pucks.
"You have to give them credit, but I don't think we did a good enough job of creating, either. I think we could have done more there."
Coyotes coach Dave Tippett credited the defense of Oliver Ekman-Larsson against the Crosby line.
"Ollie was all-world there," Tippett said. "That's an unbelievable game by him."
Ekman-Larsson called it "a good challenge for me and Z (Michalek)."
"I think we did a pretty good job all night," he said. "So it was fun."
Ribeiro put Phoenix ahead 1-0 with his 14th goal of the season and 200th of his career.
His wrist shot from the left circle got past Fleury's left side and rattled in with 7:18 to play in the opening period. David Schlemnko and Antoine Vermette had assists.
Vermette extended his career-high point streak to seven games.
Ribeiro's goal came just after Pittsburgh killed a penalty.
After Pittsburgh's prolific power play failed to score, Phoenix made it 2-0 on Michalek's slap shot past Fleury with 9:50 left in the second. Ekman-Larsson and Ribeiro got the assists.
The Penguins made it one-goal game when Malkin scored his 16th of the season, from the right side of the net off a pass from James Neal. Jussi Jokinen also got an assist on the goal.
Game notes
Pittsburgh is 11-4-1 against the Western Conference. ... The Penguins are 10-13-1 when their opponent scores first. ... Pittsburgh's Olli Maatta left the ice after taking a puck to the face in the third period. ... The only other Pacific Division team to beat Pittsburgh was Edmonton 4-3 in OT on Jan. 10. ... The Penguins last played in Arizona in November 2010.

Does Your Health Depend Upon The Weather?
Your Biological Forecast Is Related With The Meteorological Forecast
Thursday, January 9th, 2014 — I get people coming up to me all the time saying "I know the weather is going to change because my bum knee hurts, or my back aches. I used to laugh it off and say "give me a call next time to help me out with my forecast. Then, I found out there is actually some truth to all that.! Estefania a friend and former co worker has extreme pain in her knee, every time a cold front or low pressure system is headed our way. That reminds me, I owe her lunch for all her weather alerts!
Weather does have an impact on our health, especially during these winter months. The weather actually affects or body and biology all day and all night as it the elements continuously apply stress. Our bodies are ideal weather forecasters. Your joint and muscle aches, headaches, moods and even your heart are much more impacted by weather changes than you might think. We must build up our defenses take care of ourselves or we risk exposure to the health challenges brought about by the weather.
In today's "Weather Talk" I am going to show you that the colder temperatures, changing barometric pressure and less available sunlight during this cold time of year.
First let us talk about the impact of the cold air on our body. Your mom always used to say" Come back here and put on a jacket or you will catch a cold!" She actually was and is correct with her to the point analysis. Viruses especially the flu virus love and flourish in cold temperatures. That is we call it the "flu season". The lungs have a harder time doing their job in the cold, dry air. The cold air produces small cracks in the bronchial tubes in your lungs causing them to fill up with fluid and making it more difficult to breath. When you're exposed to the cold your blood thickens up and your blood pressure rises. That is why statistically there are 50% more heart attacks in the winter. Every year you see on TV groups of scantlly clad people who plunge into icy cold water for fun! They are actually putting themselves in this thicker blood/heart attack danger. No "polar bear" clubs for me!
Did you know that the dropping of the air pressure can result in sinus headaches? The falling barometer or lower pressure is going to cause sinus pain in people that have infected or inflamed sinuses. The pain is more intense in those who have chronic sinus problems. The air pressure is constantly rising and falling depending on the passage of low pressures systems or the building of high pressure over a region. There is pressure pushing on our bodies and pressure pushing from the inside out at all times. The standard atmospheric pressure is 14.6 ponds per square inch on our bodies. This constant external and internal pressure keeps our bodies from falling apart, so to speak. This pressure increases when we are under water and slightly decreases when we are flying in an airplane. Just the smallest pressure changes can be felt in all of our joints. Knees seem to be the most sensitive because they act like suction cups. The aches and pains of the hips and shoulders can also be good indicators of the pressure dropping. If you imagine the tissues surrounding the joints to be like a balloon, high barometric pressure that pushes against the body from the outside will keep tissues from expanding. But barometric pressure often drops before bad weather sets in. This lower air pressure pushes less against the body, allowing tissues to expand and those expanded tissues can put pressure on the joint, in turn resulting in pain. Arthritis and Rheumatism sufferers know what I am talking about! Time for some aspirin, find your ace bandage, grab a cold compact and also send me an email at email@example.com and give me an early warning of the storm system headed our way!
Do you feel more tired than usual in the afternoon? Do you tend to experience more than usual bouts with depression? Here I am sounding like a prescription drug commercial! The lack of sunlight during the winter months can and do cause many health problems. On December 21st, the winter solstice, there is the least amount of light because it is the shortest day of the year. Why does this happen? The origin is a small gland in our brain called the Pineal Gland. This gland is our internal light sensor. This Pineal gland senses light whether we are sleeping or awake. Closing our eyes makes no difference. When the sunlight is gone the gland produces a hormone melatonin. The hormone makes us sleepy, which is ideal for getting a good night's rest. The problem is the more melatonin you produce, the less serotonin your brain produces leading to depression. This is why there are more people in cranky or negative, gloomy moods in the cold season. Sometimes these emotions or moods can become extreme and that is a good time to seek some professional advice. Taking a few days off to go chase the sun or buying a nice bight light can help lighten our moods.
Now you know what your body is going to be up against health and weather wise the next time you see the 7 day forecast. We can take precautions to help lessen our sinus or joint pain, be more heart health conscious and even elevate our mood! We can protect ourselves with small steps like wearing the appropriate clothing and by grabbing a warm enough coat or even having an umbrella handy. We now know that the colder temperatures, changing barometric pressure and less available sunlight are three things that are affect especially winter season. I love that weather impacts ever aspect of our lives and I really enjoyed researching and writing this "Weather Talk" because I have been through my own health challenges the past couple of years. Here is wishing you an excellent forecast in protecting your health and body from the elements!

Given the complex, never-steady landscape of fantasy hockey, each week, NHL.com Fantasy Insider Sergei Feldman will give you The Real Spiel on some of the quirks and trends that permeated your week of fantasy hockey by way of in-depth analysis.
This week, The Real Spiel breaks down the first quarter of the NHL season and the fantasy studs that made it exciting for all involved.
The Real Spiel on Claude Giroux as Top Center:
A large segment of the hockey world was stunned when the Philadelphia Flyers said goodbye to Mike Richards and Jeff Carter in the offseason. Now, a large segment of the hockey world is stunned at how Claude Giroux has taken the NHL by storm through the first quarter of the season. When Richards and Carter left for Los Angeles and Columbus, respectively, the Flyers sent a message that they believe in Giroux as the straw that can stir the drink in the city of brotherly love. So far, so good.
Giroux is the top-ranked center-eligible player in standard Yahoo! Leagues and his 13 goals and 16 assists are a major reason why. While those stats are understandably eye-popping, Giroux's real value as a fantasy beast is a byproduct of great across-the-board production. Consider his 68 shots thrown on net, 14 PIMs, plus-3 rating and 11 power play points and you can't help but place the gifted playmaker at the top of the list of fantasy centers. Even with Sidney Crosby back in the lineup and names like Steven Stamkos, Evgeni Malkin and Jonathan Toews still out there, Giroux has earned his spot as Top Center going into the second quarter of the 2011-12 season.
The Real Spiel on Kris Versteeg as Top Left Wing:
You wouldn't think the Florida Panthers would be atop the Southeast Division, which includes Washington and Tampa Bay, at the quarter-mark of the season. They Are. And you wouldn't think Kris Versteeg would be one of the most prolific players of the young season. He is. The moral: start thinking.
The season is long and a lot could happen, but up to this point, Versteeg deserves props as the main man on the left side of the ice. He currently sits fifth in total points (26) in the NHL and has been held off the scoresheet just eight times all season. What's been just as impressive as his individual numbers has been his ability to lift the play of his Panthers teammates. Tomas Fleischmann and Stephen Weiss each have 20-plus points and Versteeg is a big reason why. He's delivered night in, night out for your fantasy club and, seeing as how nicely he's been able to fit in with a newly constructed Florida club, the same discussion could be have come the midway point of the campaign.
The Real Spiel on Phil Kessel as Top Right Wing:
If you lead the NHL in goals and points, you're pretty good. Phil Kessel is pretty good. The Toronto Maple Leafs right wing has emerged as one of the most feared skaters on the ice. With or without the puck, Kessel has been a threat and, as a result, the Maple Leafs have become a contender in the competitive Eastern Conference.
The Maple Leafs haven't been the only ones benefiting from Kessel's dominance, as your fantasy clubs undoubtedly have, as well. And how about the rub-off impact on teammate Joffrey Lupul? The other star in Toronto has arguably been as impressive as Kessel so far, but the man opponents are focusing on each night is the one with No. 81 on his jersey.
The Real Spiel on Kris Letang as Top Defenseman:
Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang was a Norris Trophy candidate through the first half of last season and then faltered down the stretch. Many people believed the absence of Crosby played a large role in that. This year, Letang has shown he can shoulder the load on the blue line for the Eastern Conference's top club without "Sid the Kid" in the lineup.
While Crosby sat out for the better part of this season, Letang has consistently remained atop the League's most prolific defenseman. So far, the former third-round selection has three goals, 16 assists (good for sixth best in the NHL), 19 points, a plus-5 rating, 12 PIMs and 64 shots on net. With Crosby back in the fold, Letang's production could see an increase, which means so can your fantasy team if you've got him as an option.
The Real Spiel on Tim Thomas as Top Goaltender:
Stanley Cup hangover? Doesn't look like it. Boston Bruins netminder Tim Thomas has not missed a beat after a jaw-dropping regular season and even more impressive playoff run last season. He has been one of the biggest reasons the Bruins have become the talk of the League this season. Rightfully so, the Bruins' 2011-12 season has so far been highlighted by a 10-game winning streak.
Thomas is owned in 99 percent of standard Yahoo! Leagues. No surprise there. The 37-year-old is fourth in the League with 11 wins, second in the League in save percentage (.937), third in the League in GAA (1.86) and he has three shutouts, too. Those are the numbers of a top notch goalie. Those are the numbers of Tim Thomas, the top goalie through the first quarter of the season and likely beyond.

Yes, I know that 'Defend Your ....'-style games have been done to death, but I personally hadn't done one yet and I needed an idea for Inglor Day.
Yes, it is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek.
Yes, I know it starts off easy - the enemies get a lot tougher, quicker, and more numerous in the later levels.

Rated 4 / 5 stars
Solid game.
Quite an alright game. I would have to agree that it is pretty easy though.
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars
The game is pathetically easy, I don't understand why people are whining that it is so hard.
Money is easy to come by, just pour your first few thousand into upgrading the gun, than spend it however you want from there. The gun has no limitation on how fast you can fire it, so if you can click your mouse fast enough, your fine, with a fully upgraded gun, most things less than 3 shots to kill, just shoot everything really fast 3 times, and move to the next bug.
Over all, its bloody easy and terribly boring.
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
good but
It's just the sort of game I like to play! I defense game where you get a little bit of control, but sadly it goes awry. It starts off fine and dandy, maybe a little on the easy side, but that's fine. but it quickly becomes very hard because the enemies are so buggy! you introduce a harder to kill baddy about every other level, but the thing is the variance in speed. if a daddy is going to take more to kill it had better be slower so you have time to kill it. It would be fine if you could upgrade your gun but it's too darned expensive! the shield is nice, but weak, and you have to pour all your money into it to stay live once the super-fast worms start coming at you, there's simply no time to kill the buggers. All of your money ends up poured into keeping your shield intact so you can never get the gun upgrade until it's too late.
And that auto gun thing is ridiculously useless. you buy it thinking "Auto gun? NICE!!!!" only to be disappointed by a ring that shoots in two opposite directions very slowly, with no correlation to where the enemies are. so it's like throwing darts while blindfolded. you would think the upgrades for it would make it shoot more bullets at a time or else at least faster, but NO it only makes the random darts stronger.
You had a good thing going and I'd like to see you try again, but this is ridiculous~!
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
needs better upgrades
i agree with unclejimbo not sure what it was lackng but something else is needed to make this game soo boring.the upgrades are so bad the shield is a waste of time no matter how much you upgrade it only takes two hits and its gone (and i only found that out cause i wanted see what happens when they get to you just for something new). also that fire belt also useless. I think with better up grades and something to keep you a little more amused it could be a great game. I gave you a 5/10 for the concept of the game lil diffrent spin on td
