Can I buy a seat on a private jet aircraft?
When you charter a private jet you are hiring the entire aircraft. The charter price for the aircraft does not change if you fly alone or with every seat occupied. The only slight variation in cost will be when airport passenger tax is applied on the flight. Each country has different regulations for passenger tax and this will be fully explained during the quoting process.
What happens when I get to the Airport?
Most larger airports have either separate private jet terminals or buildings called FBOs (Fixed Based Operators) where private jet passengers check in for their flight. At many airports, private jet passengers can be driven straight through security to their aircraft. The time from arriving at the private jet terminal to boarding your aircraft is normally less than 5 minutes. If however there is a delay to your flight or perhaps you have chosen to arrive early, the FBOs will normally have private executive lounges for you to relax or work in.
How long before my flight do I need do check in?
PrivateFly recommends that our passengers arrive at the airport 30 minutes before the expected departure (airborne) time. At some airports such as London City Airport, this can be reduced to 15 minutes.
Are private jets quicker than scheduled airliners?
The flying speed of a private jet varies dramatically depending on the type of aircraft. For example the fastest civilian aircraft in the world is the Citation X (ten), however many smaller jets including the range of aircraft called VLJs (Very Light Jets) are relatively slow compared to airlines. The time saving of flying privately is made on the ground. With minimal check in times and no delays waiting for luggage and clearing customs, flying by private jet is much faster than using a scheduled airline. Also on longer flights Air Traffic Control (ATC) will be able to offer private jet many more short cuts than a scheduled airline. This is because most private jets have a higher rate of climb and can fly higher than a normal air scheduled airline.
Do I still need to show my passport when travelling by private jet charter?
Depending on your flight destination and nationality you may not require your passport when travelling by private jet. However PrivateFly always recommends that our clients travel with a passport, even for domestic flights within their own country.
What's the difference between private jet charter and fractional ownership?
Private jet charter involves paying to use someone else's aircraft when they are not using it. This is normally a one off adhoc charter agreement with no long term financial commitment. Fractional ownership involves sharing the full cost of purchasing and operating an aircraft. As such chartering a private jet can is often described as subsidised flying as the fixed costs (such as aircraft purchasing and depreciation, pilot salaries, aircraft maintenance and insurances) are paid for by the owner. When you charter someone else's aircraft you are only paying for the fuel, airport fees and a small amount of extra cost to allow the aircraft owner to offset some of his annual tax bill.
How do I know my aircraft is safe?
PrivateFly has a safety policy that maximises the safety and security of our registered members. The aircraft operators who quote for your flight through the PrivateFly network are licensed to commercially charter their aircraft and are governed by their national civil aviation authority. PrivateFly is able on request to send detailed reports concerning the companies and crews that operate your selected aircraft.
What sort of aircraft do I need for my trip?
The type of aircraft that is most suited for your itinerary will depend on many factors including; flight distance, number of passengers, runway lengths, global region and of course your budget. Please do contact a PrivateFly representative to ask more about the type of aircraft required for your private flight.
How much does it cost to travel by private jet?
The cost of flying by private jet depends on many factors including; flight time, aircraft hourly rate, positioning sectors (where the aircraft is flown empty before or after the passenger sector) and airport fees. To find out how much it costs to fly by private jet, use the private jet cost calculator, which gives all-inclusive price estimates for any global trip. All prices that you receive from our network are fully inclusive, there are no hidden costs.
Which private jet airfield is closest to my home?
Using the closest airport to your house or work can save hours on the length of a journey. Private jet passengers are not limited to the same airports that scheduled airlines use and therefore can often use airports much closer to their final destination.
To find your closest airport use a private jet airport finder
To find your closest airport to your final destination use PrivateFly's easy to use airport finder
Can I take my dog with me?
Flying with pets is possible when using a private jet as long as the animal has the required documents and when required dedicated pet airports are used. Please do contact a PrivateFly representative to ask more about travelling with your family pets on a private jet.
How many pilots will there be on my aircraft?
PrivateFly always recommends that you have 2 pilots on every flight - indeed this is often a legal requirement depending on the type of aircraft. There are some examples of when only having one pilot is acceptable, such as daylight helicopter flights.
What happens if I want to change the time of my departure?
Private aviation is all about flexibility, so if you need to change your departure time it is generally not an issue. However, please do give PrivateFly as much notice as possible so that we can arrange new Air Traffic Control and airport slots to match your schedule.
Can I add a last minute passenger onto my flight.
For most private jet journeys it is normally easy to add extra passengers onto the flight at the last minute. However to save any embarrassment with or delays for your guests, it is advisable to check with PrivateFly first. Some destinations (such as Russia) require pre-clearance of customers. Also for shorter runways, there may be a limitation on the maximum number of passengers due to the aircraft landing and take off weight limits.
What catering will I have on board?
VIP catering suitable for the time of day will be provided on-board. For small cabin aircraft this will normally be pre-prepared buffet style options. All flights will also include a fully licensed bar and soft drinks. For larger cabin aircraft which have galley facilities, catering can be prepared on-board and hot meals served. Special catering requests will always be accommodated when possible.
Can I order specific food on my private jet?
Special catering requests can nearly always be sourced as most private jet hubs have arrangements with catering companies or nearby restaurants and hotels.
I only want to travel in new aircraft, can I specify that?
PrivateFly is able to filter your aircraft options by the aircraft's year of manufacture. This is a very common request by many of our private jet customers.
How long will it take to get quotes back for my flight request?
The speed of response of our registered aircraft operators depends on the complexity of your flight request. For simple flights in Europe and the USA you can expect quotes to be submitted within minutes. Requests for larger airline aircraft and for flights in particular regions of the world, the response time may be longer.
Can I see actual images of my private jet?
Actual aircraft images will be sent with every quote. PrivateFly also is building a library of 360 degree virtual panorama images of our registered aircraft.
Can I also book helicopters with PrivateFly?
PrivateFly has an extensive network of helicopters. Helicopter landing sites outside of airports require the landowners permission. Please contact your PrivateFly representative to discuss your helicopter charter requirements. Private helicopter charters are organised as an offline service only.
How much luggage can I take on my private jet?
The amount of luggage that can be taken on a private jet depends on the size of the aircraft and the number of passengers travelling. For a small jet the normal baggage limit is one per passenger seat plus cabin luggage. Larger jets such as a Gulfstream have large baggage holds which can have up to 20 large suitcases.
How many different operators can quote for my flight request?
PrivateFly has over 2000 aircraft operators globally with over 7000 aircraft in total. The number of aircraft operators quoting for your flight will vary depending on the region and the type of aircraft you are requesting.
Can I know the name of the operator?
PrivateFly is a completely transparent booking network and we can give you full information on any of the aircraft operators who are quoting for your flight.
Who will meet me when I arrive at the airport?
At your departure and arrival airport you will be escorted to/ from the aircraft by both the aircraft captain and a representative from the handling agent (or FBO). If you require ground transportation to or from the airport please ask your PrivateFly representative who will be happy to arrange this for you.
How do I know where to go when I arrive at the airport?
Most airports have dedicated private jet check-in facilities. These are normally provided by specialist handling agents (often called FBOs). PrivateFly will send you detailed directions to the airport facilities and your aircraft captain will be waiting for you at the entrance.
Do I still have customs/ immigration when travelling by private jet charter?
Customs and immigration procedures must be complied with for all private jet flights. Private jet customers are often not aware of any checks as in most cases these can be completed prior to the flight. At larger airports the private jet terminal will have dedicated customs and immigration staff. At smaller airports it is rare to see Customs and Immigration officials although they will be aware of your flight and can occasionally make special visits to the airport to meet a flight.
I've missed my scheduled airline flight. How quickly can I get a private jet?
Private jets can be organised very quickly, depending on the location of available aircraft. This can be as quick as 30 minutes from your flight request or may take longer, subject to availability and your location. You just need to submit your request to PrivateFly and all operators will be invited to quote instantly.

Tips for Great Voice-Over Performances
When giving a great performance as a voice actor, you need to get a strong feel for the script writer's intentions for writing the script. Get inside the script and read between the lines. The following tips can help you to more fully understand what the writer intended and better inform your read:
Know your character. Find out all you can about your character in order to give the most believable performance, which includes how old your character is, what motivates your character, your character's priorities, and so on.
Know your audience. To whom are you speaking? Every good voice actor has a clear idea of who his or her target audience is and why what he or she is saying is meaningful to the listener.
Research the location and its environment. Setting the scene is important. Find out details that can support your interpretation of the script, including accents if required and ambient sounds.
Be sensitive to context. Take in the full picture before you decide how you'll read a script. Everything is connected to each other, including characters. Understanding the entire script is crucial to delivering an informed read.
Visualize the location, your surroundings, and your character. Imagine where your character is, what's going on around him or her, and how the character fits into the story. You may want to use photographs as a visual guide or inspiration for painting pictures with your words.
Listen to music of the time period. Are you looking for another way to gain insight into the world your character lives in? If you have a date or an era to reference, try to locate music of that time and immerse yourself in what may be the soundtrack of their life.
Identify your character's contemporaries, whether real or imagined. When creating a character, understanding who your character chooses to surround him or herself with tells you a lot about your character as a person. If your character lived sometime in the past, research people who lived at that time to get a clearer picture of who your character is and how he or she related to contemporaries.
Practice speaking in character when talking to other people. Are you able to speak as your character, even when you're not reading from a script? Conversing as your character with others is a good test of how well you know your character, how he or she would say things, and what makes him or her tick.
Know how the story ends before you get there. There's nothing worse than a narrator who is just as surprised as his or her audience. Reading the full script through before recording can ensure that you aren't caught by surprise, and you can create a better overall performance.

In many communities across the United States, the first day of school is usually the day after the Labor Day weekend. (image credit) As (some) parents rejoice and (some) kids dread the start of another school year, there is new research data being released stating that parents cause kids more stress when starting school.
Before all the parents who read my blog start to throw things at me, I'm just reporting a news story here (smile). This study is from the UK and courtesy of icWales. The study looked at kids who are starting school for the first time.
Scientists measured the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in children two weeks after they had started primary school and then again six months later. They also took cortisol measurements three to six months before the children started school to provide baseline levels for comparison.The article goes on to talk about how things were easier when they had an older sibling who already went through the "starting school" process. The article also talks about how the first day of school can also be tough on parents.
The researchers said they were surprised to find that, far from providing a baseline, children's cortisol levels were already high several months before the start of the school term.
High rates of the hormone can even make children more susceptible to colds and other minor illnesses.
Dr Julie Turner-Cobb, from Bath University, who led the research, said, "This suggests that stress levels in anticipation of starting school begin to rise much earlier than we expected."
Dr Turner-Cobb said it was unclear why pre-school children would become anxious so far in advance, but suggested that parents were getting stressed about their children starting school and were passing those fears onto their children.
Now, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to make some of these assumptions. But, I thought the cortisol data was interesting. Any thoughts out there on the stress level of kids and parents when it comes to the first day of school?

Being born with an
undescended testicle increases the risk for
testicular cancer.
Moving the testicle to the scrotum may help reduce the
higher risk associated with undescended testicles that are not treated. Most
doctors recommend surgery to place undescended testicles in the scrotum, because
this makes it much easier to find testicular cancer if it does develop.
Untreated undescended testicles are usually
removed in adult men and teens who have gone through
puberty because of the increased risk of
testicular cancer.
Because of the risk of cancer, men who have an undescended testicle
should have regular medical checkups (at least once every 2 years) throughout
life. These checkups may include a testicular exam. If you have an undescended
testicle, talk with your doctor about how often you need to be checked.
Some doctors recommend a testicular biopsy during surgery to correct an
undescended testicle (orchiopexy) if the undescended testicle is in the abdomen
or the child has genital defects, such as
hypospadias, or a
genetic disorder. In this test, a small sample of
tissue is taken from the testicles and examined to find out the potential for
developing cancer.

As we go home and immediately find the need to hide from our families, here's a way to wile away those hours in 90-minute increments: Let ABC Fam transport you to a winter land where Andy Dick plays a sandwich delivery man who has someone else's child in his care…where Olivia Newton John stars as a small-town American woman…where Shannen Doherty is a thief. Where love and Christmas are synonymous. Obvs.
I give you my guide of the current internet options (minus the kids' movies) ABC Family 25 Days of Christmas makes available to us. Note: as Kate, Jessie, KB and I well know, any TV movie is best watched as a drinking game. I just doubled your potential enjoyment of these movies; you're welcome.
It Nearly Wasn't Christmas (1989):
Check out those bangs.
A Christmas Romance (1994):
A Holiday for Love (1996):
This makes me want to watch West Wing, and then Little House on the Prairie.
I'll Be Home for Christmas (1997):
The celebs of St. Nicholas, population: 1500.
Special Delivery (2000):
Would YOU trust this man?
Snow (2004):
Chasing Christmas (2005):
Christmas Do-Over (2006):
Snowglobe (2007):
Christmas Caper (2007):
Holiday In Handcuffs (2008):
Snow 2: Brain Freeze (2008):
A Holiday for Love, Snow, Snowglobe, and Holiday in Handcuffs seem to be the best bets here, but no one will stop you if you want to watch Andy Dick deliver an Indonesian baby across the country to his adoptive parents, waiting eagerly for the baby that has grown in their hearts and not their tummies.
And if you want to watch the real television, here's what the 2010 ABC Family 25 Days of Christmas has planned:
Dec 24th: Jack Frost, Frosty's Winter Wonderland, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, Santa Claus is Comin' To Town, The Year Without A Santa Claus
Dec 25th: Miracle on 34th St (1994), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Jim Carrey version)
Also: 12 Men of Christmas (of Lifetime, not ABC Family) is playing at 8 pm 12/24 on LMN and 11 am 12/25 on Lifetime. Kristin Chenoweth and Josh Hopkins (beady-eyed Grayson from Cougar Town) in the ultimate holiday made-for-tv-movie.

First broadcast
English themes
Japanese themes
Friends to the End (Japanese: ポケモンリーグ!さいごのたたかい! Pokémon League! Final Battle!) is the 80th episode of the Pokémon anime and the final episode of the Indigo League arc. It was first broadcast in Japan on January 21, 1999 and in the United States on November 27, 1999.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
It's the sixth round match at the Pokémon League Competition, and Ash, Misty and Brock are in the stands cheering for their new friend, Ritchie. When an unfortunate turn of events happens, Ash learns a valuable lesson that he will take with him on the rest of his journey as a Pokémon trainer. Finally, Ash and Ritchie get to march with the athletes for the closing ceremonies of the Competition where they add a Pokémon League Badge to their cherished collection.
Ash is still upset that he lost his last match. He's been lying in his bed ever since, and his friends, mother, and Professor Oak are getting worried. Misty comments that he should be happy that he made it as far as he did and goes in to try to cheer him up. She offers to get him something to eat or take a walk, but he refuses. She tells him that she's only trying to help. They start to argue about how good a Trainer Ash really is when Professor Oak comes in. He tells Ash that he should have trained Charizard better. Misty and Ash start an argument again. Pikachu, however, is having none of it, and he ThunderShocks everyone in the room.
Ritchie's next battle is about to begin. He sits in a locker room and talks to his Pokémon. The door opens and in walk Ash, Misty, and Brock. They wish him luck and the battle begins. Brief battles are shown where Zippo battles against Rhydon, Happy against Venomoth and a Spearow against a Tentacool.
Both Trainers are fairly equally matched and they are soon both down to their last Pokémon. Ritchie's opponent, Assunta, sends out Ivysaur and Ritchie sends out Sparky. As soon as he pops out, Sparky gets a beating by Ivysaur. None of his Thunder Shocks are connecting. Ivysaur jumps into the air and unleashes a Solar Beam, hurling Sparky to the ground. Just as he gets up, he is hit by Ivysaur's Tackle. He struggles to get up again, but it is no use. Assunta wins. Ritchie runs up to his Pikachu and makes sure he's OK. In the stands, Ash and his friends are disappointed.
Later, Ash joins Ritchie near a lake. As their Pikachu play, they talk about their losses. Ritchie says that he would've trained harder if he'd known how tough the competition would be. He then comments on how losing is good for Trainers, and Ash realizes how much of a baby he was. He and Ritchie promise to become Pokémon Masters no matter what.
Suddenly, both Pikachu fall into a hole. Ritchie and Ash run over to see what happened, and they too fall into a hole. Team Rocket appears at the surface and laughs at them. Ash tries to climb up the side, but slips down. When he lands, the bottom falls out and he and Ritchie plummet another few feet. Team Rocket uses a cage at the end of a fishing pole and pulls both of their Pikachu out of the hole. They try to shock them, but James tells them that the bars absorb electricity. They start to make their getaway when Ash and Ritchie rise out of the other hole, clinging to their Pidgeotto and Butterfree respectively.
Ash sends out Bulbasaur, who tries to grab the cage with his vines. James sends Weezing for a Smog attack. Pidgeotto blows the gas back at Team Rocket with Gust and Ritchie sends out Zippo. After Bulbasaur frees Pikachu and Sparky with a Razor Leaf, Zippo ignites the gas with a Flamethrower. As Team Rocket run around in pain, Ash has Pikachu and Sparky recharge the cage, he sends out Squirtle who extinguishes Team Rocket with Water Gun. Then Ash tosses the cage into their hands where it explodes, blasting Team Rocket into the air.
As the sun sets, Ash and Ritchie congratulate each other. Brock and Misty run up and invite him and Ritchie to dinner, after which they'll go to the closing ceremonies. Later that night, the closing ceremonies begin. Everyone marches back in, waving. Mr. Goodshow gives each and every one of them a special Pokémon League Badge for competing in the league. As this is going on, however, Team Rocket is digging a hole outside. They aim to dig under the field and steal the Pokémon.
Back inside, the top three Trainers (who are shadowed) wave from the stage amid the cheers of the crowd. Team Rocket continues to dig as fireworks go off in the sky. Meowth listens at the ground above and tells Jessie and James to dig up. Unfortunately for them, a huge bomb falls through. It goes off and Team Rocket is blasted off again.
The next morning, all is quiet. Ash and Ritchie sit in the stands talking. Their Pikachu come running up to them and are warmly greeted. After Ash reminds him of their promise, Ritchie sets off. Ash remembers the highlights of the League games, all from when he saw Moltres at the opening ceremonies to when he lost to Ritchie. He gazes at the sky then he looks over and sees his friends, mom, and Professor Oak. Smiling he asks Pikachu if he's ready to go back to Pallet Town. He runs over to his friends. His first adventure has now ended, but his next one is just about to begin.

It isn't that often that we have an Intel branded motherboard come across the Legit Reviews test bench. Fortunately for you, that is exactly what we have for you today! The Intel DX58SO2 X58 motherboard is part of the Intel Extreme series of motherboards. The DX58SO2 X58 motherboard is the latest and greatest motherboard from Intel for their X58 chipset.
Some may argue, that building an Intel X58 system right now, is a bit of a waste. That may be true for those that are building a brand new system as the performance of the new Intel P67 platform will dominate the scene when looking at clock-to-clock performance between the two processors. The Intel X58 Express chipset still has one major advantage over the socket LGA1155 systems though, six-core processors! If you are in need of a processor like the Intel Core i7 990X which runs six cores and an additional six threads, then the Intel X58 chipset is the only way to go, for now. Early adopters of the X58 platform also might be looking for a newer motherboard as the Intel X58 Express chipset first came out back in November 2008. That means many users out there are running the early boards that didn't have SATA 6Gb/s, SuperSpeed USB 3.0 and many of the other features and improvements that have been made or discovered since 2008.
The Intel DX58SO2 has just about every feature under the sun. USB 3.0 and SATA 3 are both supported through discrete chips onboard the DX58SO2. The expansion slots are plentiful with three PCIe X16, two PCIe X1, and even an old school PCI slot. There is a total of eight SATA ports, two of which are SATA 3 and up to 12 USB ports! So whether you are building a office computer (perhaps a bit of overkill) or a top notch gaming rig, the Intel DX58SO2 has plenty of expansion for whatever you need!
Much of the chart below we will cover in the coming pages, but it's always good to have it in one spot.
|Form Factor
|ATX (304.80 millimeters [12.00 inches] x 243.84 millimeters
[9.60 inches])
|Support for an Intel processor in the LGA1366 package
|Main Memory
|Intel X58 Express Chipset consisting of:
|Support for multiple PCI Express graphics cards including linked cards
using Nvidia SLI technology and ATI CrossFireX technology
|Legacy I/O Support

|LAN Support
|Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mb/s) dual LAN subsystem using the
Intel 82567L and Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controllers

Now, I'm sure you have totally memorized that chart, right? No, I suppose that's alright, like I said we will cover most of it in the next few pages. For now though, let's move on to the retail box and bundle on the next page!

Professorial, Diligent and Smart Team
Fund: Accel Partners
Posted by Vagabond on 2011-05-09
We Pitched to Adam and Accell late in the process of C round.
They responded immediately, flew over the weekend and started the deepest Due diligence we ever went through. They met the team, the board and related companies. Very significant amount of work was done in a very short time.
In the process and as part of the DD they introduced us to several leads that later turned into customers.
they made sure to do the reference calls and other checks done before signing the TS so it will not risk the company and made us give up other offers. (it was critical)
The deal fell through on terms a minute before signing the TS. I was truly disappointed.
After getting funded by multiple VCs, It was one of those cases that it feels that the VC can make a significant positive difference in the probability of success.
Based on the short experience, I strongly recommend to try AccelPRIVATE: Members Only

This is slightly random, but has anyone read Dykes to Watch Out For? Yesterday I picked up Dykes and Sundry Other Carbon-Based Life Forms to Watch Out For, which I believe is the last book in the series. Usually that would make a book unbearably confusing, but all the characters are explained in the beginning so it's not too hard to follow. I would've read it all in one sitting, but I had to go somewhere. While I was out, I just kept thinking, "I want to go home and finish the book!" Although the comics are amusing, I think I liked the political aspect the most. It isn't preachy, but it's there. I can't remember ever reading a work of fiction that dealt with the issues around coping as a leftist in America and all the inevitable disappointment and frustration that it brings. Okay, that was a long sentence. There are also other layers, like the characters' attempts to reconcile their radical queer identities with the fact that "Best Lesbian Erotica is now sold at 7-11" and many in their group are marrying and having kids.

The Diplôme d'Ingénieur programme at ENSG is a 3-year degree course that follows the completion of a 2-year classe préparatoire and selection via the concours competitive exams. Entry in Year 1 of the Ingénieur programme is therefore equivalent to starting the 3rd year of an undergraduate degree programme (in university semester 5), and direct entry to Year 2 of the programme is equivalent to entering the 1st year of a Masters programme (in university semester 7).
The School has established a curriculum, spread across the different semesters, which covers three areas of training designed to better equip you to carry out your future projects.
The curriculum consists of:
- Scientific and technical training for engineers;
- Observation, understanding and modelling of natural phenomena in the Geosphere;
- Economics, management and communication.
The course curriculum is divided into two main phases of study:
- 3 semesters of core courses
- 3 semesters of specialised modules
First Year
The first year comprises two semesters of compulsory core courses that provide all engineering students with the essential skills and knowledge that form the engineer's scientific foundation:
- General geosciences
- Elementary mechanics
- Applied mathematics and computing
- Business and management training
- Field courses
Second Year
Semester 7 continues the core curriculum of the first year.
From Semester 8, students take a series of specialised courses based on five themes of pre-specialisation:
- Geotechnical and Civil Engineering
- Water and Hydrological Systems
- Ores and mineral resources
- Petroleum Geology
- Reservoirs
Students are also required to conduct a laboratory project and to attend a 2-week specialised field course. The semester ends with a 3-month industrial work-placement, either in France or overseas.
Third Year
From Semester 9 onwards, an advanced curriculum is taught through specialised courses that directly correspond to future career paths:
- Geotechnical engineering
- Resources, land use and water management
- Engineering and management of ores and mineral raw materials
- Petroleum geosciences
- Geomodelling and numerical geology
- Reservoir engineering and hydrodynamics
- Environmental science and technology
- Geophysics (EOST)
Optional modules are also part of the syllabus and they aim at giving the students extra scientific and professional knowledge, particularly through a research project.
A common module for the IHR, GP and GN options taught by TOTAL industrialists in the shape of a field case will allow the students to apply their knowledge and competences onto a concrete project. It therefore shows the interaction of the skills required for the management of a hydrocarbon field.
The software MBal used during this field case is supplied by our partner Petroleum Experts. It is part of a complete software pack by IPM of which we have been given 10 licenses amounting to 1 072 970 pounds.
The software ECLIPSE is supplied by Schlumberger.
The software Gocad is supplied by Paradigm.
The software Re-Studio is supplied by Amarile.
A number of option modules are also programmed that aim to provide students with additional courses in scientific and professional development. A research project is also conducted.
The Ingénieur programme culminates with a final degree-project undertaken during a 6-month industrial work-placement in France or abroad. The length of the placement can be shortened to 4 months for students looking to pursue scientific development.

These are wonderful vintage original Indian postcards from Udaipur in Northern India that have a lovely and original painting on the front. Looking for a unique gift? These little paintings make truly unique gifts for women or men. Mixed set of 5 - each card is unique. They are created from original vintage Indian postcards which have been upcycled by the famed Udaipuri artists as a 'canvas' for their outstanding centuries-old traditional Indian miniature paintings skills (see below for a full description). The level of detail is exceptional with some of the elements painted with a single bristle paintbrush. The photo shows a selection of the type postcard available - however on ordering Scaramanga will randomly select an individual postcard which may not be one of the ones shown in the photo. Currently, you are likely to receive a holy cow, mischevious monkey, elegant elephant, parading peacock and terrible tiger. Size: (w)14cm (d)8.5cm. Note: These postcards are authentic old postcards. They may have small marks, tears and missing corners on them, which are consistent with their age and original use. We feel these add to their character and appeal. Please look at the photos to get a general idea of their condition. The background of Indian Miniature painting: Miniatures are intricate, small, colourful handmade folk paintings, created with very precise and delicate brushwork. The colours used in the miniatures are derived from minerals, vegetables, precious stones, indigo, conch shells, pure gold and silver. Some of the noted miniature schools include those of the Mughals, Rajputs and Deccan. The paintings recreate historical episodes or tales of mythology in schools that have come to be identified with the different kingdoms that merged in Rajasthan and wider India. Fine brush strokes signify miniatures from Jaipur and Udaipur, the Bundi and Kotah kalams are known for their scenes of battle and of shikar (hunts) while the Kishangarh School does portraits with Radha-Krishna as the principal characters. Rajput painting evolved and flourished during the 18th century in the royal courts of Rajputana, India. Each Rajput kingdom evolved a distinct style, but with certain common features. Rajput paintings depict a number of themes, events of epics like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, Krishna's life, beautiful landscapes, and human figures. Mughal painting is a particular style, which is generally confined to miniature book illustrations, emerged and developed during the Mughal Empire (16th -19th centuries). Mughal paintings include portraits, events and scenes from royal court life, wildlife and hunting scenes, and illustrations of epic battles. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has a large and remarkable collection of Mughal paintings. Today many schools of miniature painting thrive in Rajasthan. These include the Mewar or Udaipur school, the Bundi school, the Kishangarh school, the Bikaner school, the Jaipur school and the Alwar school.

Penelope Cruz said she enjoyed her smoldering same-sex lip-locks on the big screen with both Scarlett Johansson and Charlize Theron.
"No matter how I answer that I will be in trouble," she said when asked who was the better kisser. "Both were pretty beautiful partners."
In an interview for the November 2009 issue of Vanity Fair, the brunette bombshell dished on her kissing scene with Theron in the 2004 film "Head in the Clouds" and her smooch sesh with ScarJo in "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" and talked about her fascination with women.
"It was my first acting school. I would pretend to be doing my homework, but I was really observing the women," she confessed in the candid interview.
"I found their behavior mesmerizing -- what they were hiding how they left feeling a littler different after they'd been helped to become a little more like whom they wanted to look like. They treated the place a bit like a psychologist's office," she told the magazine.
"They would share all their secrets."
The actress has two new films -- "Broken Embraces" and "Nine" -- and said her love of acting began at an early age when she found little solace in schoolwork.
"I really didn't want to have to be in an office," she said. "I was a good student, but not happy. I thought, I have nobody in my family and no friends who can make a living out of anything related to an artistic profession, but I want to try."

How to Use Multilevel Lists in Word 2007
Not all lists are simple one-level lists. Sometimes you want multiple levels with different formats showing different levels of detail. Word 2007 can manage lists with up to nine levels; here's one with two levels.
To change the look of a list with many levels, follow these steps.
Locate the Multilevel List button.
The Multilevel List button is to the right of Bullet and Numbering buttons on the Home tab.
Click the Multilevel List button.
The Multilevel List gallery appears; all paragraphs associated with the current list, at all levels, are selected. You can select one of the entries to change the formatting of the entire list; if you don't see one you like, the next steps show how to make your own.
Click the Define New Multilevel List link at the bottom of the Multilevel List gallery.
The Define New Multilevel List dialog box appears. Here you can customize each level of the list.
Select the level you want to work with.
It's easiest to start with the first level and work your way down. You can select other levels by clicking either the number or the preview of that number level in the Click Level to Modify section of the dialog box.
Select a numbering format to use for that level.
You can add text, such as punctuation, to be used with the number by typing in the Enter Formatting for the Number text box.
Adjust the formatting to be used for the level.
Here you can add any text, set the font, and set the indent position for this level of the list.
To indent all levels equally click the Set for All Levels button.
The Set for All Levels dialog box appears. Here you can specify the position of the text for the first line, how far the bullet should be away from the left indent for the first line, and how much to indent each additional level. This command is available only for levels 2 through 9.
Repeat these steps for each level of your list, and click OK when you're done; you've defined a new list style.
No need to define all nine possible levels. Your new list style becomes part of your List Library.
This procedure creates a new multilevel list for this document. To save your list style to your main template, so you can use it with other documents, first select your entire list. Follow the first two steps above, but choose Define New List Style instead. The Define New List Style dialog box appears and should already have all your list formatting.
Give your list style a better name than Style1, select the New Documents Based on This Template option at the bottom, and then click OK. Now your multilevel list style is available to any new Word documents you open.

I touched on this last year here, where I laid out six reasons why the Pac-10 would not expand just willy nilly and grab Boise State and Utah.
Apparently, the new Pac-10 commish is seriously considering expanding, which is fine, but people need to understand that the Pac-10 is HEAVILY research-oriented and they are a major competitor in most sports, so several things must be factored into any school to be considered for expansion.
- Academics/research – Almost every school has either a major medical facility or research facility, and every school ranks in the top 100 in the world for academics. In the latest World University Rankings, Stanford is #3, California-Berkeley is #4, Washington is #6, UCLA is #17, Arizona is #28, USC is #32, ASU is #60, Oregon State is #72, Oregon is #82, and Washington State is #88.
- Presence – Every school is a major presence in their geographical area. There are no "tiny" schools in the Pac-10.
- Competition – The Pac-10 is the "Conference of Champions" for a reason: the number of championships won by the members of this conference FAR outnumber the total by any other conference. As such, members must have a tradition of competing hard and winning.
- Rivalries – Every school has a natural rival that also happens to be geographically "close" to each other. The farthest "rival" schools from each other are Washington (Seattle) and Washington State (Pullman), which are 5 hrs away by car.
So, knowing these are major criteria for any school to join the Pac-10, let's go through some of the schools being touted by members of the media. The World University Rankings provides good insight on where these schools are ranked in relation to the rest of the world – more than 15000 universities across the globe are ranked in this research. Hence, the schools are sorted by World University Ranking.
- University of Colorado (Boulder, CO) – Good research school, biggest presence in Colorado, however somewhat irrelevant lately in the Big 12 conference. Ranked #45 in WUR. Enrollment is over 30,000 students.
- University of Utah (Salt Lake City, UT) – Major medical facility, major presence only overshadowed by BYU, major competitor in the Mountain West Conference. Location in large market. Ranked #48 in the World University Rankings. Enrollment is over 26,700 students.
- University of New Mexico (Albuquerque, NM) – Plays in MWC, but is inconsistent in its competitiveness in men's sports – the women, however, are rolling over their competition. Located in largest city in NM, also a known travel destination. Ranked #69 in WUR. Enrollment is over 24,000 students.
- BYU (Provo, UT) – Biggest presence in Utah, major competitor in MWC. Location in smaller market. Ranked #84 in the World University Rankings (just ahead of Washington State). However, does not play any sports on Sundays, which is a major drawback to Pac-10 competition, and it has a dearth of graduate programs, also a turn-off for the Pac-10. Enrollment is over 34,000 students.
- Colorado State University (Ft. Collins, CO) – Second biggest presence in Colorado behind UC, competitive member of MWC. Academia is still decent (#113 in WUR). Enrollment is over 26,000 students.
- Utah State University (Logan, UT) – Plays in the WAC, but lately has been irrelevant. Located in very small market. Academics are better than half of the other schools being considered (#162 in WUR). Enrollment is just shy of 24,000 students.
- San Diego State (San Diego, CA) – Competitor in MWC in many sports outside of football. Located in large market and travel destination. Ranked #233 in WUR. Enrollment is over 34,500 students.
- New Mexico State University (Las Cruces, NM) – Competitor in the WAC. Located in small market. Academics are just ok (#276 in WUR). Enrollment is over 17,000 students. Second smallest school in consideration.
- San Jose State (San Jose, CA) – Competitor in the WAC. Located in close proximity to Stanford, making it easy to reach. Part of the Cal State University system. Ranked #304 in WUR. Enrollment is over 32,000 students.
- University of Wyoming (Laramie, WY) – Lately become more of a competitor in the MWC. Located in very small market. Academia is lacking (#374 in WUR). Enrollment is just under 14,000 students, making it the smallest school in consideration.
- UNLV (Las Vegas, NV) – Competitor in MWC in many sports outside of football. Biggest presence in Nevada, location is well-known. Academics are not up to Pac-10 standards (#388 in WUR). Enrollment is over 31,000 students.
- Boise State University (Boise, ID) – Lately has owned the WAC in football, but that's pretty much it. Biggest presence in Idaho, however that's not saying much. Academics are not up to Pac-10 standards (#491 in WUR). Enrollment is just under 20,000 students.
- Fresno State University (Fresno, CA) – Competitor in the WAC. Part of the Cal State University system. Located in small market. Academics are not up to Pac-10 standards (#801 in WUR). Enrollment is over 22,000 students.
- University of Hawaii at Manoa (Honolulu, HI) – Competitor in WAC. Located in supremely desired location – imagine what that does for Pac-10 recruiting ("hey, you can play for us AND you'll get to go to Hawaii twice in your four years here"). Academics lag behind all other schools in consideration (#824 in WUR). Enrollment is over 20,000 students.
Now, just for grins I'm throwing in two schools:
- Northern Arizona University (Flagstaff, AZ) – Small market, currently does not play Division IA in football, but does in everything else. Member of Big Sky conference. Academics are ok (#302 in WUR). Enrollment is just under 19,000 students.
- University of San Diego (San Diego, CA) – Large market, competes in Division I for all sports except football. Member of Pioneer Football League for Division IAA. Academics are behind most other schools listed above (#747 in WUR), and enrollment is just a tad above 7,500 students – but that's because it's a private school.
Based on the information above, if I went solely on academia, then obviously my choices should be two of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, BYU, or Colorado State. However, something else to consider is how the schools fare in athletics other than football. San Diego State is already an associate member of the Pac-10, so they automatically should be considered for expansion.
Hence, a Utah and San Diego State pairing would not be out of the question, though having those two play on rivalry weekend would be stretching a bit.
Geographically, SDSU and San Diego would make a perfect pair, except that USD doesn't compete in Division IA football (stadium size is too small – 6000 seats), and USD's research ranking is troubling.
SDSU and UNLV would make another "good" pair, as they are 5hr away by car – the same distance as Washington and WSU – but UNLV's academic ranking is a 300 point drop from the rest of the Pac-10.
Utah and BYU would seem to be a marriage made in heaven, except BYU doesn't play on Sundays, which becomes a problem for the other members of the Pac-10 who DO play on Sundays. And BYU isn't all that competitive outside of football and maybe basketball or softball. And let's not forget that BYU is distinctly lacking graduate programs, a big no-no when dealing with research universities.
Colorado/CSU would also seem to be a good match, but would Colorado want to leave the Big 12? Perhaps if they could guarantee one non-conference game a year against Nebraska. And I'm sure that CSU would jump from the MWC for the Pac-10 in a heartbeat – however, CSU probably wouldn't get an invite without Colorado.
Utah/Colorado would be really good – 8hr drives not withstanding. This is probably the best pairing period.
Utah/Utah State is also not out of the question as they fit the presence and geographic criteria, and USU's academia still is in the top 200 in the world. However, Utah State's small market is very concerning, and like CSU, they probably wouldn't get an invite on their own.
New Mexico/NMSU would be good geographically, but that also means the Pac-10 would have to take on a small school and weak academia (NMSU) and a low-key competitive-wise school (UNM). Granted, Stanford is also a small school (enrollment just under 15,000), but there's a huge difference between Stanford and NMSU.
New Mexico/Colorado would be a good fit academically, and it's actually a slightly shorter drive at 7.5 hrs, but again the inconsistent competitiveness of UNM is troubling.
New Mexico/NAU would be a surprise, though the distance between the schools isn't all that far. But NAU's small stadium and school size becomes an issue.
We know that the Pac-10 will not just add one school if it finally does choose to expand. And having an expansion helps other schools in the Pac-10 so they can round out football schedules (read: ASU) with Division IA teams.
I'm pretty sure that a BYU/UNLV pairing would probably not be highly thought of – complete polar opposite agendas there 🙂
As it is, BYU joining the Pac-10 is already under assault from Cal and Stanford – both far left-wing schools to begin with. Since any expansion requires an unanimous vote on schools to join, I believe that Cal's opposition (Stanford notwithstanding) effectively kills any hope for BYU to join the Pac-10.
I think the biggest knock on one of the other teams, Colorado, is that they pretty much are a football school and really nothing else – there's nothing really to gain from moving from the Big 12 (a BCS conference) to the Pac-10 (another BCS conference). Also, Colorado does not compete in several other sports that the rest of the Pac-10 does (swimming, baseball). However, there's an outside chance that a CU-CSU pairing in the Pac-10 might pique their interest.
Thus, the best scenarios range from competitiveness in athletics to high academia to geographic location to just plain ol' TV markets (in no particular order):
- Utah / San Diego State
- San Diego State / UNLV
- Utah / UNLV
- Utah / Utah State
- Colorado / Colorado State
- San Diego State / University of Hawaii at Manoa
- New Mexico / UNLV
- San Jose State / Fresno State
[2/11 UPDATE: The Big Ten has opened discussions with Texas to jump from the Big 12 to the Big Ten. If that happens, a Colorado jump from the Big 12 to the Pac-10 suddenly becomes a LOT more likely. If that is the case, look for a Utah/Colorado pairing to take place.]
The appeal of any scenario involving Utah is probably first and foremost in the new commish's mind. And also the lure of the San Diego market is also very appealing. Like I mentioned above, a Utah/SDSU pairing would be very appealing for most everything except a geographic rivalry game – then again, all those Utah fans would probably jump at the chance to fly to San Diego every other year in late November.

16-foot python 'Banana' found
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office received a call late on Sunday, Sept. 16, indicating there was a large snake near the roadway on Highway 365 by the entrance to Gator Country. Upon arrival, deputies and owner of Gator Country, Gary Saurage, identified the snake as Banana, the 16-foot albino Burmese python reported missing April 30, 2012. Gary Saurage said, "She appears to be in good condition." He's glad to have her back, he added. Banana was featured on "Gator 911" and is valued at $5,000.
When the snake went missing, Deputy Rod Carroll said there is no doubt the snake was stolen and not just lost.
"It was definitely stolen; it was locked up," he said. "There was no way for the snake to escape. Gator Country doesn't have a fence around it, so someone probably just parked along the road and came in and took it. It was probably two people, based on the size of the snake."
"It's going to be high-maintenance," Carroll said of Banana, adding that the python wasn't akin to rearing the average puppy. "It's not just something you can put in a little cage in the back yard. It's kind of like having a pony and not knowing how to take care of it."
Anyone with information in reference to Banana is requested to contact Crimestoppers at (409) 833-TIPS. The investigation is continuing.

Plus one: Ann Arbor City Council agrees to increase fire department staffing level to 86 FTEs
The Ann Arbor City Council followed City Administrator Steve Powers' advice Thursday night and increased the fire department's authorized staffing level by one position.
The vote was 10-0 with Sandi Smith absent.
The city recently filled six vacancies in the fire department, bringing staffing up to 85 full-time employees, the level approved by the City Council in August.
Through the hiring process, Powers said, the city identified seven qualified candidates, and so Fire Chief Chuck Hubbard and Safety Services Administrator John Seto asked that the fire department's authorized staffing level be increased by one more position — up to 86 FTEs.
Ryan J. Stanton | AnnArbor.com
For the remainder of the budget year, which ends June 30, the estimated expense of one additional firefighter is $50,000. Powers said funding is available in the general fund since the city is anticipating higher-than-budgeted revenue from the state's Economic Vitality Incentive Program.
The estimated cost in fiscal year 2013-14 is $82,000. Powers said the city's staff is preparing next year's budget and will incorporate that expense.
The resolution to increase staffing in the fire department was sponsored by Mayor John Hieftje and Council Members Marcia Higgins, Jane Lumm and Christopher Taylor.
Lumm ran for council last year on a campaign platform that called for increasing staffing in both police and fire departments. During her campaign, she noted more than a third of the staffing in both departments had been cut over the past decade. The fire department had 131 FTEs in 2001.
The city is still evaluating the fire chief's proposal from earlier this year to reorganize the fire department and close stations — going from five to three stations. Given the department's limited staffing resources, Hubbard believes consolidating resources makes sense.
Hubbard said in the city's last budget process he ideally would like to get the fire department's staffing up to a "magic number" of 88 FTEs.
The city actually started the fiscal year with 82 FTEs budgeted for the fire department. That went up to 85 after the city secured a $642,294 federal grant that allowed hiring three more firefighters.

Glad to see progress.....

Public safety is at the core of the mission of local government. Only when we provide adequate police, fire, and emergency services and provide basic infrastructure (ie. pave the roads, deliver clean water, etc.) should we then talk about anything else. It is not clear that Ann Arbor passes the emergency services test. This is one, very small step forward, but note that the Mayor expects that retirements in the Spring will reduce the number back down again. One step forward, one step back....
Fri, Nov 9, 2012 : 2:56 p.m.
So why consolidate stations if the city is willing to staff 4 at every station? Not sure why the city is still entertaining that option especially after input from the residents.
Fri, Nov 9, 2012 : 3:52 p.m.
Input from residents? All 10 of them that showed up to the meetings?
Fri, Nov 9, 2012 : 1:24 p.m.
How about cutting the art program to 0 and usinging that money for cops and firemen?
Fri, Nov 9, 2012 : 1:34 p.m.
Especially now that the voters have given council unambiguous direction about the publicly-funded art.

Thank you Mayor and City Council for hearing our pleas and responding in a rationale way. This is money well spent.

excellent! this is a great step in the right direction.
Fri, Nov 9, 2012 : 12:32 p.m.
I'm glad they're boosting the number of firefighters. The recent performance figures had showed that Ann Arbor was definitely slipping below comparative cities' averages.
Fri, Nov 9, 2012 : 12:29 p.m.
Why are we sending taxes to the Federal government that they then send back to us for local needs? Wouldn't it make more sense for efficiency and responsiveness to reduce the Federal tax rate and increase the local levy?
Fri, Nov 9, 2012 : 3:16 p.m.
Oh yeah, that'll go over with local taxpayers - about as much as a new, $65 million library. Ho-ho!
Albert Howard
Fri, Nov 9, 2012 : 12:28 p.m.
Unanimous vote. That's good.
Stephen Lange Ranzini
Fri, Nov 9, 2012 : 11:45 a.m.
Excellent, moving in the right direction! Can we please have two more FTEs and staff 88 firefighters, the chief's magic number? Consolidating from five fire stations to three is a bad idea and I urge the new and continuing members of city council to make that explicitly clear to the Mayor and our City Manager!
Fri, Nov 9, 2012 : 11:43 a.m.
Is this enough to provide safety to the citizens of AA.
Alan Goldsmith
Fri, Nov 9, 2012 : 11:32 a.m.
"The fire department had 131 FTEs in 2001." One? Wow...we can all sleep soundly tonight with this major increase in staff.

We compare different notions of differentiability of a measure along a vector field on a locally convex space. We consider in the L2-space of a differ entiable measure the analoga of the classical concepts of gradient, divergence and Laplacian (which coincides with the OrnsteinUhlenbeck operator in the Gaussian case). We use these operators for the extension of the basic results of Malliavin and Stroock on the smoothness of finite dimensional image measures under certain nonsmooth mappings to the case of non-Gaussian measures. The proof of this extension is quite direct and does not use any Chaos-decomposition. Finally, the role of this Laplacian in the procedure of quantization of anharmonic oscillators is discussed.
Starting from the uniqueness question for mixtures of distributions this review centers around the question under which formally weaker assumptions one can prove the existence of SPLIFs, in other words perfect statistics and tests. We mention a couple of positive and negative results which complement the basic contribution of David Blackwell in 1980. Typically the answers depend on the choice of the set theoretic axioms and on the particular concepts of measurability.

Julesrk1 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de tema de wordpress y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 45 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
Weingarten Vineyard
This is a website for a brand new winery opening at the beginning of 2011. A website currently exists at http://www.weingarten-vineyards.com but we are looking to completely redesign the look and feel and transfer it over to Wordpress. We have a few details about the accents of our winery in our newsletter found here - http://www.weingarten-vineyard.com/…-11-11.php
We are looking for rich colors with a dark color scheme. While the colors of the logo on the current site can change, the font and design of the logo cannot so it is important that the design doesn't make the logo look out of place. We are not looking for a design with rounded corners. We want the navigation to go across the top, not along the side and we would prefer to have the logo centered at the top.
Here are a few design examples from winery websites that we like.
Our audience is 21 and older who enjoy wine. While we will sell wine primarily, we will also be offering a variety of microbrew beers.
Rich and dark colors are preferred e.g. charcoal, dark woods/brown, maroon/burgundy, etc. Navigation should be along the top and not the side. We are not looking for a design with rounded corners. Logo centered at the top. Large image featured as the main focal point of the homepage. We will revamp the logo based off of the selected design. ***We will need a layered PSD file upon completion as well as a PNG.***

Exclusive: International Samsung Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean update coming next week
Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean update to arrive shortly after Unpacked event on Aug. 29
The international Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300) will have its update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean launched next week after the company's Mobile Unpacked event in Berlin, Android Central can exclusively reveal. Sources familiar with Samsung's plans inform us that the firmware is in the final stages of testing. The current schedule calls for the release of the international S3 Jelly Bean update shortly after the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event in Berlin, Germany next Wednesday, Aug. 29. That's the same event at which we're expecting to see Samsung's Galaxy Note successor. Following the event, we understand the update will roll out in a number of countries, including the United Kingdom.
As we revealed during our teardown of a leaked Jelly Bean build, the update will introduce familiar Jelly Bean features like the redesigned notification shade and Google Now. In addition, it'll include new TouchWiz features like "dormant mode" for better notification and alert management, as well as "easy mode" for simplified home screen operation.
As for the U.S. and Canada, we have no information on when the LTE-capable Snapdragon S4-powered Galaxy S3 variants can expect their Jelly Bean update, but we're sure Samsung will be just as keen to deliver speedy Android 4.1 upgrades for customers in North America too.
Regardless, international S3 owners should have reason to celebrate in a little over a week's time, as Samsung turns around a major Android OS update in record time. It certainly wouldn't be the first time the manufacturer's delivered a product on announcement -- last week it announced and launched the Galaxy Note 10.1 on the same day in New York City.

Anderlecht's newest young gem Dennis Praet has all the timidity one might expect from an 18-year-old, but he has kept his eyes wide open during his two months in the limelight. "I've been surprised by the impact Anderlecht have on people's lives," he says, and he could easily be including his own life in that assessment.
The attacking midfielder has been with the Brussels giants for two years now, but it is only recently that he has made his breakthrough. Starting berths in the UEFA Champions League and two goals in 14 league matches attest to the fact that everything is moving quickly for Praet, who looks to be the latest shimmering talent off a Belgian production line that has yielded stars such as Eden Hazard, Marouane Fellaini, Axel Witsel and Steven Defour in recent years.
"I'm very down to earth and I'm lucky enough to have good people around me in my family and at the club," he explained to FIFA.com. At club level, the most important figure for the youngster is John van den Brom, the Dutch coach who arrived in Brussels during the summer. Since Van den Brom's appointment, the Leuven native has been rewarded for all his patient hard work following his move from Genk, when he chose Anderlecht above potentially more lucrative destinations. "If I'd opted for money, I would have gone elsewhere," he says.
Praet enjoyed his first minutes on the pitch in the Belgian Cup last term, but he has exploded onto the scene this season under Van Den Brom's almost paternal tutelage. "It's not easy to break through at Anderlecht, but I've been fortunate to have the perfect coach," he says. "He believes in the younger players and has given me a lot of confidence."
The presence of the former Vitesse Arnhem tactician certainly appears to have been crucial for the new darling of the Parc Astrid faithful. "His arrival has clearly changed everything," adds former Anderlecht coach Johan Boskamp. "It's not always possible to promote youngsters, play attractive football and win games at the same time, but Van Den Brom has managed it and Dennis has benefited from that."
Dennis plays like Iniesta. He's got good technique, he's solid, holds onto the ball well, keeps things simple and doesn't panic.
Lille scout and former Anderlecht player Georges Heylens is of a similar opinion, noting that Les Mauves have found the ideal partnership. "I know that Van den Brom has the right approach," he says. "I trust him. I saw him last year at Vitesse and he's not afraid to put his faith in the younger players, while his attacking style is a perfect fit for Dennis to really blossom."
"I can feel the faith the staff have in me from day to day, and obviously that helps," says Praet, who has had to adapt to the pressure to get results, the need for consistency and "the impact of the media". On target against Club Brugge in the league and a starter against AC Milan in Europe, the player tipped for a place in the Belgian national team is now on the same learning curve previously followed by Vincent Kompany and Romelu Lukaku, two more precocious talents who became Anderlecht regulars before their 19th birthdays. Praet is not a fan of the comparison, though, "even if I'm honoured to have my name mentioned alongside two such players".
He is also determined to avoid the pitfalls that threaten all young players who burst into prominence, two years after he rejected the lure of foreign riches. "I'm staying who I am and, away from football, I spend my time with my childhood friends. They're not at all involved in football, and that's what I need."
Indeed, Praet seems to have a keen grasp on what he needs, and, given that he weighs just 70kg, he has made it a priority to bulk up. "I know I have to get more muscle, but above all it's important that I retain my qualities, which are speed and acceleration," he explains, before pointing out with a grin, "Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta aren't exactly big either".
If those are comparisons that Praet prefers, they may not be too wildly inaccurate either. "Dennis plays like Iniesta," says his Anderlecht team-mate Tom De Sutter. "He's got good technique, he's solid, holds onto the ball well, keeps things simple and doesn't panic. His vision of the game is incredible." Living up to such rich praise will be one more challenge facing the gifted playmaker as he continues to make his mark.
