Last month, the Parc Zoologique de Paris reopened after a six-year renovation by Bernard Tschumi Architects. A branch of the National Museum of Natural History, it is commonly referred to as the Zoo de Vincennes, because it is located in the Bois de Vincennes, a 2,459-acre park on the city's east side. When the zoo opened in 1934, it was notable for presenting the animals without cages, in a semblance of their natural environment. Tschumi was tasked with maintaining this philosophy, and with preserving such landmark features as the Grand Rocher, a 215-foot artificial mountain. Today, the park is home to more than 180 species from around the globe, including piranhas, lemurs, penguins, and a lion named Nero.
The situation you found was a rather idiosyncratic zoo, as I understand it.
Bernard Tschumi, FAIA: In 1934, the French opened this zoo, which had a few interesting characteristics, like those huge artificial rocks. Unfortunately, the zoo was not very well maintained and about six years ago, it had to close and to be completely reformulated, both for biological reasons—the concept of a zoo has completely changed—and also for security reasons. The place had become really dangerous.
Both for the animals and for the people, I take it.
Exactly. Some of the artificial rocks were falling on the heads of people and animals. The Museum of Natural History, which is in charge of the zoo, decided to organize a competition between three large general contractors. One of them, called Bouygues, called me and said: "Would you like to be our architect?" And so we started to work for a little bit with them, and we were selected, and then we started to work for real.
It's not exactly the world's largest zoo. It seems fairly compact.
Absolutely. You make a very good point. It's about 45 acres. That means that certain animals, elephants for example, are not there, because elephants need too much space. So the species were selected in relationship to the amount of space that they had at their disposal.
You felt that the architecture for the people and the animals should be the same, as much as possible, rather than there being one system for each.
Correct. The idea was not trying to make a sort of architectural acrobatics for people and a different thing for the animals, but rather, to look for common denominators. In a zoo, by definition, you're going to have aviaries. You're going to have tropical greenhouses. There are also a lot of technical buildings—places where the animals sleep and eat. They are fairly utilitarian buildings, especially considering the budget that we had. So for these, I developed a system of screens, continuing my own interest on the idea of double envelopes. Here we have a functional envelope and a visual envelope, the latter of which is made of wooden beams that are organized in a sort of random disorder so that they become a very informal background to the nature.
The first thing I thought was: "Bernard Tschumi has gone wild." I am used to your work having a rather rigorous order to it, and I couldn't think of another project where you had used such apparent randomness.
Well, I think you got it right. Everything was worked on using the most rigorous conceptual development, and we arrived at minimalist solutions, but this time the intention was to arrive at a design which would be a background, not a foreground. Much of the idea of a zoo is about a landscape, it's what zoo people call biozones. For example, the planting—which was done by a very interesting landscape architect named Jacqueline Osty—tries to find a species of trees that looked like the Sahara, that looked like the tropics, like Patagonia. In other words, it's re-creating a sort of ecosphere and so the architecture had to voluntarily take a back seat. But I also was interested in the notion of the double envelope, where one is functional and the other is the visual envelope and that one is the one which is random and disorderly.
Since you started from this notion that the visual language for people and the animals should be the same, did that sort of indicate that where they met was in a zone that was not the kind of logic-ordered zone of the urban environment?
It's rather an environment that would displace you somehow. Whether you are a person or an animal, when you go to places—whether it's the restaurant or the house of the rhinos—they are actually using the same architectural components. I was trying to say that there's no such thing as an architecture which is 4,000 years of history, which is the architecture of humans, and then there's another sort of shelters for animals, which are also preconceived ideas. I was trying to avoid that in both cases.
What does it say, conceptually, that the rhino enclosure and the restaurants are the same? It seems to go back to the idea of your Follies—this notion that similar forms can address or host different functions.
It's interesting you say this. Who knows? The Follies were a highly elaborate work of elements that were almost like a construction game. The zoo itself is much freer, much more random. The Follies are really markers—they articulate the space around them, while at the zoo, it's exactly the opposite. Each of the random wooden envelopes are there, not to activate the space, but rather to define it as a background. So it's an anti-La Villette, with a few conceptual points in common.
It seems that the objects at the zoo shift and change themselves, depending on their function as well as their situation.
The aviary structures are quite important because a lot of animals—small mammals, monkeys, or birds—are in aviaries. Even small children are in aviaries that are used for education. The entrance of the zoo is, itself, like a very large aviary for the visitors. These structures do have a lot in common with the Follies—it's a combination of parts that give you an incredible variety of geometries.
The greenhouse seems to be a bit outside of this system because its form and skin are unified. It is an object, a very clear object.
Yes, I would agree with you. Absolutely. The greenhouse is slightly different—the enormous size of it, over 300 feet long, 75 to 80 feet high, means that the cost factor becomes such that you then have to totally rationalize the amount of material that you have in order to make it as efficient as possible. So that's not surprising that we find geometries, which are not that different from some that were invented in the 19th century. The only difference here, the glass is curved—cold curved. It's simply … it's forced into place and, of course, it's using all of the most up-to-date cooling and warming systems that one can do with greenhouses today, but the plate is not quite the same as what I discussed earlier with the aviaries and with the wooden slats. The thing they do have in common is the relationship between each of the small aviaries and the larger greenhouse. The small aviaries are just like fragments that are thrown into the landscape, some that go inside the greenhouse, some that stay scattered on the outside. And the scale shift between the main aviary, which is a huge area, and the small—and between this huge greenhouse and the small aviaries—I find a very interesting sort of correlation.
Zoos are, by their nature, didactic educational institutions. How do you address that, when so much of your work here has been about discoveries and layering, rather than the kind of didactic exposition of things?
Well, amusingly enough, when I got the commission, I thought of the new Acropolis Museum and I felt uneasy: Isn't having giraffes in a zoo, away from their natural home, the same as having the Elgin Marbles at the British Museum? And then I realized, first of all, regarding the giraffes, these giraffes had been in Paris for about eight generations—they were probably more Parisian than most of the people looking at them. Secondly, I think the intent of trying to show the animal in as close as possible to their native environment is a way to make people aware of how fragile that environment is. It has more to do with education than with event making.
You talk about the double skin, and you use that in places like the giraffe housing. But you also seem to be exploring the concept of filters, which seem to operate as an alternative to the double skin condition.
Well, the two work together. If you have a double or triple skin, some of the surfaces, some of the membranes can be absolutely opaque, waterproof, or airproof, while some others can be porous. Some let the light through, some stop the light, some filter the light. So, each of these envelopes at the zoo has its own characteristic and that you play with. The materiality of the envelope is quite important to me, in order to establish its character and its conceptual presence.
I have to ask: Did you go to zoos as a child?
Yes, in particular to this zoo as a little child. You know, I lived in Paris until about age 6 or 7 and the zoo had an incredible rock called the Monkey's Rock—and boy, did I love it. As you see, it's a full urban zoo. It's a zoo where you hear sirens and garbage trucks. It's quite big still.
And did you go to other zoos to prepare for this?
Yes, I went to a few zoos, but I also read a fantastic book called Constructions Animales by Bruno Corbara. It's someone who wrote the interesting treatise about how different species of animals build their nest or their burrow. It absolutely fascinated me to discover that animals, like architects, make a distinction between tabula rasa and genius loci, and you can distinguish animal construction by that division. You realize how much building, to animals, has to do with seduction and seducing your other mates, which I thought was very appropriate to architecture.

Jay Penske will wed Elaine Irwin, former wife of John Mellencamp.
IndyCar team owner Jay Penske confirmed to The Indianapolis Star on Monday that he is engaged to model Elaine Irwin.
Irwin was married to rock star John Mellencamp for 18 years.
Penske, 34, is the youngest son of billionaire racing mogul Roger Penske, who won his first NASCAR Sprint Cup championship last season, with driver Brad Keselowski.
Jay Penske owns Dragon Racing, which fielded cars for Sebastien Bourdais and Katherine Legge in last year's Indianapolis 500.
He said he proposed to Irwin "just before Halloween."
Irwin, 43, has two sons, Hud and Speck, with Mellencamp. Their divorce was finalized in 2011.
Irwin is no stranger to the IndyCar circuit. In 2001, she became the first woman to drive the pace car for the Indianapolis 500. She attended several races last season, including the 500, with Penske.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
The Emery High Lady Spartans struggled in two preseason matches last week. On Tuesday, Emery traveled to Carbon High and lost in three straight sets to the Dinos.
Scores for the night were 25-16, 25-13 and 25-22.
Emery then returned home on Thursday night and hosted the North Sevier Wolves. They lost this night in five sets. The scores were 25-21, 21-25,21-25, 26-24 and 15-9.
Against Carbon in the first set, Emery and the Dinos were tied at 9-9 when Carbon scored seven straight points to grab control of the game and coasted home from there to an easy victory.
In set two, Emery led 3-1 when the Dinos scored six straight to lead 7-3. The score then went to 12-5 and 18-9, as the home team owned the court this night.
Emery did make set three close. Emery led 3-0 and 9-6 before the Dinos tied the score at 14-14. Emery tied the score at 17-17 but Emery could never reclaim the lead and Carbon closed the night out in three straight.
Against North Sevier in the first set, Emery trailed 17-16 but scored the last six points to grab the win. In the next two sets, Emery did not seem to be as in tune as the previous game and lost two sets that they probably could of and should of won.
In game two, the score was tied at 17-17 and 19-19 before the Wolves grabbed the win. Game three was kind of the same thing. The score was tied at 12-12 and at 16-16 before North Sevier again grabbed the win.
Emery tied the score with an overtime win in game four. Emery grabbed the early lead at 5-0 and at 13-7 and at 19-14. North Sevier led 24-23 before Emery scored the final three points to win.
In the final game of the night, Emery fell behind early and then could never get close as the Wolves finished the Spartans off with a six-point win.
Playing for Emery were seniors Brooke Jensen, Courtney Tuttle and Adrie Huntington. Also playing were Brittany Fauver, Kaitlyn Thompson, Shandee Jewkes, Hailee Rogers and Blayr Jeffs.

x2....animations are so sad, and controls seemed really off. I didn't enjoy the 30 mins of game I played at all.
x3 .. I didnt play the game and think most of ppl didnt since its still in very closed beta. So why should we care for some damned skins. Improving gameplay should be no.1 priority especially when you are not the first person to say this.
U.S. Agent. Nice! Walker was one of my favorites as a kid. Can't really say why, I just liked his attitude.
Still not interested.

I agree with you, what i've seen so far in their marketting system is a very backward manipulation marketting tactic, the more i see the less i trust that studio.

(KING CITY, Mo.) As Micah Breckenridge enters his second season as head coach of the King City Wildkats, and it will not be a mystery what his team's strategy is.
"We're going to be mainly a run team," Breckenridge said.
The Wildkats lose just four seniors off last year's team, so a seasoned offensive line returns.
"Having that big offensive line we can set the stage, hopefully we can move the ball. That'll ease the pressure off our quarterback."
Senior Caleb Eiberger takes the reins at quarterback. He played wide receiver for Breckenridge last season, but his team has faith as he switches positions.
"Caleb's going to be a great quarterback," senior Tyler Fore said. "He's an awesome runner."
Eiberger will be running behind a line that is led by Fore, a senior that is also making a position change.
"They put me at the guard position this year, so I can pull, be out there running with the backs," Fore said. "Be his main blocker out front with the fullback. It's going to be a good feeling knowing that if he scores a touchdown, a lot of us had something to do with it, us lineman."
Maximum effort is what Breckenridge is looking for from his team, because he is not keeping his approach a secret from the rest of the Grand River Conference.
"The schools in our conference...everybody knows what every other team has, and they'll know what we're going to do," Breckenridge said.
King City opens the season against Lathrop.

|Meeting Description:
|Minority languages, by their very nature, exist in multilingual environments. But far-reaching developments in globalisation and migration mean these multilingual environments are currently undergoing dramatic changes. Across Europe and around the world, traditional forms of multilingualism are giving way to new and more complex forms, in which speakers of indigenous minority languages must negotiate their place alongside newer migrant minority languages, in addition to other more established majority languages.
In such contexts, several issues are raised, including:
How do speakers of indigenous minority languages construct their position in relation to speakers of both 'old' majority languages and 'new' minority languages?
How do indigenous minority language speakers view migrant minority languages? Are these languages seen in terms of threat/competition, or as facilitating acceptance of a wider range of languages within a multilingual society?
What three-way relationships exist between the indigenous minority language(s), the majority language(s), and the new migrant language(s)?
What scope is there for indigenous minority languages to gain prominence in a changing multilingual environment?
What can speakers of indigenous and migrant languages learn from each other's minority language experiences?
What even counts as a minority language in these increasingly complex multilingual environments?
With these issues in mind, this conference addresses the overall question of:
'What challenges and possibilities do changing forms of multilingualism pose for speakers of indigenous and migrant minority languages, and what opportunities are presented by interactions between the two?'
The conference will take place in multilingual Luxembourg, a traditionally trilingual and increasingly multilingual country that is a prime example of the changing forms of multilingualism that are the subject of the conference.
Keynote Speakers:
Stephen May, School of Critical Studies in Education, University of Auckland (New Zealand)

The Ferris Collection of Prints
The Museum's Graphic Arts Collection, the oldest print-collecting unit in the Smithsonian, focuses on the technical and social history of printmaking to document how prints are made and used. Smithsonian art museums collect works on paper selected for aesthetic reasons, but the National Museum of American History (formerly the Museum of History and Technology) takes a broad view of visual culture.
Our prints illustrate technical developments and cultural changes. They represent all kinds of graphic works that have influenced American society. The collection has always included examples from many periods and countries, fine-art prints as well as popular and commercial graphic art, together with the plates, blocks, and tools used to produce prints. In 1996 the Museum presented an exhibition on 150 years of Smithsonian print collecting, Building a National Collection.
One of the largest print collections ever received by the Smithsonian was donated by the Ferris family between 1927 and 1932. Stephen James Ferris (1835–1915), a Philadelphia painter and etcher, collected over 2,000 European and American prints, both reproductive and original, representing old master and contemporary printmakers. The collection incorporated a variety of artistic subjects, compositions, and styles. Ferris may well have mined it for inspiration for his own work, but he was also deeply interested in art for its own sake. He and his family and friends would have simply enjoyed studying the images.

Mission Church, New Mexico
- Description
- Thomas Moran etched this view of a mission church in New Mexico in 1881 after a photograph by friend and traveling companion William Henry Jackson (1843–1942). Moran had met Jackson in 1871 on Ferdinand V. Hayden's Yellowstone expedition, the first government-sponsored survey of that area. Jackson and Moran worked side by side recording views. While Moran's paintings of the West made his reputation, fewer than one-fifth of his etchings depict Western or Mexican scenes. His signature "TYM" at lower left stands for Thomas "Yellowstone" Moran.
- The church shown in this print was replaced by a stone building in the early 20th century, and the San Juan Pueblo recently changed its name to Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo. It lies twenty-five miles north of Santa Fe.

(ARA) Americans total debt tops $252 billion dollars, according to Federal Reserve data, yet most don't have a basic understanding of credit information like who calculates credit scores, what constitutes a good score, the financial impact of a bad score, and what basic information is on a credit report.
Only a quarter of consumers know that generic credit scores are now available from multiple sources not just the three main credit bureaus according to a Consumer Federation of America survey of 1,000 people. And a third to 40 percent don't know that their age and marital status are not used to calculate a credit score, the survey revealed.
Even if you review your credit report every year and experts agree you should view it more frequently than once every 12 months its easy to be confused by credit scoring. While the factors that go into calculating a credit score largely remain the same no matter whos doing the calculating, the weight each factor is given can vary. And more importantly, so can the score range and what constitutes a good versus a merely fair score. To help you better understand credit scoring and how it affects your financial wellbeing here are answers to six basic credit score questions:
Q. What is a credit score?
A. A credit score is a three-digit number that creditors (from banks to credit card issuers to landlords) use to evaluate your credit worthiness. Its intended to be a predictor of how likely you are to repay a debt.
Q. How is a credit score calculated?
A. Scoring agencies such as the credit bureaus draw information from your credit report and plug it into complex algorithms that calculate your score. The information on your credit report comes from a number of sources, including credit card issuers, mortgage companies, auto lenders, landlords, and more. The calculations generally take into account whether you pay bills on time, the length of your credit history, the amount of credit youre using versus the amount you have available, the types of credit accounts you have, and how frequently youve applied for new credit in recent months.
Q. Why do I have more than one credit score?
A. Every consumers credit score will vary, depending on whos calculating it. And the score you see when you request one from a reporting agency may not be the same as what a lender would see when asking the same agency. The two most popular scoring models are FICO and Vantage, with credit ranges of 300 to 850, and 501 to 990, respectively. Your score will vary depending on which of these models an organization uses. That said, there are also a myriad of others out there, mostly due to that fact that organizations often use their own proprietary scoring models, so one consumer can have many scores.
Q. How do I know if I have a good score?
A. Generally, the higher your score number, the better and the more likely that you will be perceived as creditworthy by potential lenders. For FICO, a score above 700 can be considered good and may qualify you for better interest rates and other loan terms. VantageScores consist of both a number and a letter grade. Every hundred points equates to a letter grade, so if your score falls in the range of 700 to 799, your letter score would be a C and likely considered merely average by lenders. A score of 800 to 899 would rate a B and anything higher than 900 would be an A.
Q. How can I stay on top of my credit score?
A. The only way to know your credit score is to ask for it, and yes, youll almost certainly have to pay for it. While youre entitled to one free look at your credit report once a year from the three major bureaus that does not include your credit score. The good news is you have many cost-effective resources for accessing your score. CreditReport.com, for example, will give you your credit score for free when you order your report for $1 and sign up for a free trial of its monitoring service. If youre interested in keeping close track of your credit and who isnt in this economy? credit monitoring can help you know whats on your credit report, better understand your credit and keep tabs on the type of information that can influence your credit score.

Improvised explosive devices (IED) continue to be the number one threat to U.S. troops. IED incidents in Afghanistan numbered 1,128 in the month of May 2010a 120 percent increase over the prior year. In addition to Afghanistan incidents, the IED threat is increasingly expanding throughout the globe with over 300 IED events per month worldwide, according to the Joint IED Defeat Organization (JIEDDO). The Department of Defense (DOD) created this organization in 2006, reporting directly to the Deputy Secretary of Defense, to lead and coordinate all of DOD's counter-IED efforts. While Congress has appropriated over $17 billion to JIEDDO through fiscal year 2010 to address the IED threat, other DOD components, including the Armed Services, have devoted at least
$1.5 billion to develop their own counter-IED solutions.
DOD created JIEDDO to lead and coordinate all of DOD's counter-IED efforts, but many of the organizations engaged in the counter-IED-defeat effort prior to the creation of JIEDDO have continued to develop, maintain, and expand their own IED-defeat capabilities. GAO has preliminarily identified several instances in which DOD entities operate independently and may have developed duplicate counter-IED capabilities. For example, both the Army and the Marine Corps continue to develop their own counter-IED mine rollers with full or partial JIEDDO funding. The Marine Corps' mine roller per unit cost is about $85,000 versus a cost range of $77,000 to $225,000 per unit for the Army mine roller. However officials disagree about which system is most effective, and DOD has not conducted comparative testing and evaluation of the two systems. Additionally, JIEDDO does not adequately involve the Services in its process to select initiatives. For example, the Navy developed a directed energy technology to fill a critical theater capability gap, yet JIEDDO later underwrote the Air Force's development of the same technology for use in a different system. However, the Air Force has now determined that its system will not meet requirements and has deferred fielding it pending further study. This may have a negative impact on the continued development of this technology by the Navy or others for use in theater. For example, according to DOD officials, during the recent testing of the Air Force's system, safety concerns were noted unique to that system that may limit warfighters' willingness to accept the technology.
Eliminating unnecessary duplication and enabling effective coordination in counter-IED efforts is hindered, in part, because neither JIEDDO nor any other DOD organization has full visibility over all of DOD's counter-IED efforts. GAO has recommended that DOD establish a DOD-wide database for all counter-IED initiatives to establish comprehensive visibility, however, DOD has yet to develop such a tool. According to DOD officials, DOD had initiated a databasethe Technology Matrixto establish a comprehensive list of counter-IED efforts and the organizations sponsoring these efforts; however, DOD has not required its various organizations involved in developing counter-IED solutions to use this database nor otherwise taken action to ensure these organizations provide information to JIEDDO on their respective counter-IED efforts. Therefore, the database has not been as comprehensive as intended. To date, DOD's senior leadership has not taken adequate action to facilitate improved visibility, coordination, and authority for JIEDDO to address these shortcomings. This lack of leadership attention may be another key factor contributing to the lack of full visibility and effective coordination of the wide range of counter-IED measures conducted throughout DOD. Consequently, DOD components and the Services continue to pursue counter-IED efforts independent of one another that may be redundant or overlapping.
DOD has taken steps to address several of GAO's prior recommendations regarding the improvement of its counter-IED programs, such as revising JIEDDO's process for evaluating and implementing counter-IED solutions. However, 5 years after its coordination efforts began through JIEDDO, DOD has still not achieved full visibility over all of its counter-IED investments and resources nor has it required comprehensive data from all DOD components and the Services to enable effective coordination. JIEDDO has encountered difficulty obtaining information on all counter-IED efforts, in part, because according to JIEDDO officials, the Services and components are not inclined to share this information. Therefore, DOD's senior leadership, to include the Deputy Secretary of Defense, should consider what actions the department can take to assure that JIEDDO can centrally collect information and coordinate efforts and whether it should enhance JIEDDO's tools to ensure all information on DOD-wide counter-IED programs is centrally collected and evaluated to limit unnecessary duplication, overlap, and fragmentation. DOD leadership should also take a more active role to ensure investment decisions of each of the individual counter-IED activities are consistent with DOD's overarching counter-IED goals and objectives and that they are pursued in a coordinated and efficient manner.
The information contained in this analysis is based on prior GAO products listed under the "Related GAO Products" tab, as well as GAO's ongoing work on DOD's counter-IED efforts. As part of this ongoing work GAO will comprehensively identify, to the extent possible, all counter-IED organizations and efforts within DOD, and collect quantitative data on these efforts such as the funds invested and the number of persons engaged in these efforts. Using these data, GAO will evaluate the nature and extent of any overlap or duplication, as well as the potential for consolidation, improved coordination, or other efficiencies. GAO is also evaluating DOD's progress in improving visibility over all counter-IED efforts.

Reviews of this property
Really great place for accomodation in Vienna! Very clean and calm flat with everything You need to stay for a few days. Very close to the main railway station, metro, bus and tram stops. A few very nice restaurants with a traditional Austrian cuisine around. Raul is very friendly man and take care about His guests.
I highly recommend and hope I'll be able to be back soon! Best Regards! :) :) :)
A perfectly located apartment in the center of Vienna, only a five minute walk from central station. Raoul explained public transport and the vicinity.
All in all a very high price quality ratio!
Raoul was a reliable host, the communication was quick and easy.
The apartment location is great. Only a couple of minutes by foot from the main station and the beautiful Schloss Belvedere is literally around the corner.
It was clean and very quiet as it had it's windows towards the inner yard of the complex.
The walls and the sofa however did not look that neat anymore, they should be fixed.
All in all I would still give a 100% recommendation for this apartment!
We had a very good time in Comfy Apartment. the Apartment is clean and tidy.
Our first host was Moritz, a friend of Raoul. He was very friendly, jovial and helpful and later on we dealed with Raoul, who was very helpful too for a little problem we had.
Thank you! The apartment is very central located and quiet of all trafic etc.. the only problem is when you have loud neigbours, than is is a bit of a problem, because the walls are thin and it can be noisy.
The shower is great. The apartment needs a refreshment, like some fresh paint on the wall, a new table and last but not least other mattress! they are ripe for the garbage, we think personally. For the rest we had a great time and the apartment including Raoul and Moritz is as a whole very pleasant and advisible.
We had a great time at the apartment, it was clean, everything worked well, comfy beds, kitchen good, we were met on time and given the keys at the earlier time we requested. Location is exactly as advertised - across from main train station and near Belevedere Palace. Great bike parking if you arrive by bike. Thanks Raoul!
Fantastic apartment, very clean and tidy, great features, great location, easy access to everything. Contact with hosts available and all information very helpful. Again any time!
Fantastische Wohnung, sehr sauber und ordentlich, prima ausgestattet, tolle Lage, alles gut erreichbar. Kontakt mit Gastgeber problemlos und alle Informationen sehr hilfreich. Jederzeit gerne wieder!
Raoul gave the answers to all my questions immediately, even before I arrived matkaani.Kun accommodation Raoul friend told where to find a nearby destination restaurants, shops jne.Asunnon staircase wall found the necessary information including transport connections in Vienna.
Raoul antoi kaikkiin kysymyksiini heti vastauksen jo ennen matkaani.Kun saavuin majoitukseen Raoulin ystävä kertoi mistä löytää lähiympäristöstä ravintolat,kaupat jne.Asunnon rappukäytävän seinältä löytyi tarpeellinen tieto myös kulkuyhteyksistä Wienissä.
The apartment has a very good central location and is well served by public transport. The apartment has everything you need and is in good condition. The owners are nice and simple. All in all, we were completely satisfied.
Die Wohnung hat ein sehr gute, zentrale Lage und ist gut an den ÖPNV angeschlossen. Die Wohnung bietet alles was man braucht und ist in gutem Zustand. Die Vermieter sind nett und unkompliziert. Alles in allem waren wir rundum zufrieden.
Everything worked out very well, we were the first time in
Traveling abroad and very pleasantly surprised.
Even a minor glitch with the hot water was quickly resolved.
We had a very nice stay here in Vienna. Are very happy with the service
Es hat alles sehr gut geklappt, wir waren das erste mal im
Ausland unterwegs und sehr positiv überrascht.
Auch eine kleine Panne mit dem warmen Wasser wurde schnell behoben.
wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt hier in Wien. Sind mit dem Service sehr zufrieden
The book, and the contact arrangements with Raoul were straightforward and friendly. We have been nicely received by Moritz and were given all the information we wanted. We could reach him with questions about mobile. Our accommodation was appropriate, despite proximity to downtown and quiet ordentlich.Leider was the third bed (we had booked for three adults) as such is not suitable and more nights we would have complained about this. The double bed was O.K. For a visit to Vienna we would Belvedere Garden Comfort book again.
Die Buchung, Kontaktaufnahme und die Absprachen mit Raoul waren unkompliziert und freundlich. Wir sind nett von Moritz empfangen worden und bekamen alle Informationen, die wir wollten. Über Handy hätten wir ihn bei Fragen erreichen können. Unsere Unterkunft war zweckmäßig, trotz Innenstadtnähe ruhig und ordentlich.Leider war die dritte Schlafmöglichkeit (wir hatten für drei Erwachsene gebucht) als solche nicht geeignet und bei mehr Übernachtungen hätten wir diese reklamiert. Das Doppelbett war o.k. Für einen Wienbesuch würden wir das Belvedere Garden Comfort wieder buchen.

Love these!
"I love these shoes! They are super comfy and look really cute. The top makes them look a little fancier than normal flats so you can where them to fancy occasions or for casual. The size was correct for me too."

"Fell in love with these in the store and they fit great...while I was there. I then wore them to work a few weeks ago and I have never been in more pain. Had blisters only after 2 hours into my shift and could barely walk. These will be gathering dust because I will never wear them again."

the Perfect Black Flat
"I found myself in a conundrum today; my only pair of black flats are looking quite beat up and I have a job interview tomorrow. I can't wear heels right now because I'm still recovering from an ankle injury, so I headed to DSW with my fingers crossed that I'd find the perfect black flat on the first try. I loved these as soon as I saw them! The detail on the toe is interesting and makes them a little dressy but they're also a classic black flat. I usually go a half size up in flats with elasticized heels, but the 9's were just too loose for comfort so I went back to my usual 8.5. They seem a little narrow in the toe, but not uncomfortably so and they're leather so I think they'll stretch. If you're thinking about buying these shoes, go for it!"

Great flats!
"Love at first sight! Had to have them, even after some of the negative reviews. I think they're great and I haven't stopped wearing them. Hopefully the snow holds off a little while longer."

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
The first Festive Friday was held recently and was very well attended. The topic for the day was Untangling Christmas. Joanne Roueche from Davis County extension service was the presenter.
"Christmas is mostly a mom's responsibility," she said. "We want it to be extra special for our children." She advised everyone to find their own happy medium of Christmas celebration somewhere between nothing and perfection.
Roueche demonstrated several quick and easy recipes, and displayed many homemade gift ideas. "You need to find your balance and go with it. You cannot plan too much, so plan, plan, plan," Roueche added.
Roueche advised everyone to simplify the Christmas holidays by planning and purchasing throughout the year. Keep a notebook with everything you need to know for Christmas, gift list, everyone's sizes, Christmas card list and grocery shopping list.
Do everything that can be done before the holiday season begins. The only thing that should be left to the last is the purchasing of the perishable food items and the food preparations.
Emery County's own FlyLady paid a visit to Festive Friday and everyone in attendance received some great tips to "cruise" through Christmas. Jan "FlyLady" Myers and her friend Julie "Frantic Frannie" Jones entertained and informed the crowd how to keep up with the housework so you won't be bogged down during the busy holiday season.
"The real FlyLady is Martha Cilley and she lives in North Carolina," said Myers. "'FLY' stands for finally loving yourself. We all must realize that we are not perfect and we can cruise through Christmas when we learn to finally love ourselves."
Myers taught the attendees how to do a five minute room rescue and the 27 boogie fling. She told the ladies how to spend five minutes in a room cleaning and picking up to make the room presentable. Another helpful hint to declutter a house is to do the 27 boogie fling. This consists of getting a large garbage bag and in as short a time possible, put in 27 things that you do not use. Put this bag in your trunk and do not allow anyone to retrieve any items. In a few days, take the bag to the DI, and Myers stated that it is great to wait a few days because you forget what is even in the bag, so you don't miss it.
"Your attitude is another very important thing. You should make your housework fun and that will take the work out of it," said Myers. She explained the FlyLady philosophy about daily routines and organizing a system for the efficient running of a home.
Myers also noted the FlyLady website, www.FlyLady.net. The website has many useful downloads and daily inspirationals. Also, a holiday control journal can be downloaded. "So, don't clutter up your time and Bon Voyage," concluded the FlyLady.

Look & feel great, fell apart after wearing twice.
"Comfortable and well-priced, but one of the 2 main parts connected at the heel ripped out the second time my husband wore them. We were just on a walk, not even doing anything strenuous. I may contact the manufacturer."

"Shoe was comfy for 2 months but after that it's falling apart. Where the sandal straps the zelcro is all but gone. Where it is supposed to be hinged to the sole came off looks like not enough glue. It needs to be replaced."

The velcro strip at the heel is a weak point.
"I walked five kilometers with it on concrete walkways yesterday. And I kayaked with it off a pier on the Hudson River. No problems with the kayaking but there was a problem with the walking. I did have to adjust the snugness of the fit twice and that was because the velcro strap at the heel started to feel like it was coming loose during my five kilometer walk. It felt snug when I began walking so the velcro strap somehow worked itself loose during my walk. If you look at the image it's obvious that the strip doesn't have enough connection points."

Injuries and Prospect Development
July 09 2010 04:55PM
The mind is a funny thing. It selects portions of events for storage, so that years down the line our memory "plays tricks on us." Many years from now, fans might check out Oilers draft history and think "boy Doug Lynch was a poor pick" without knowing (or remembering) his major injury and how it impacted Lynch's career.
Men who spend their time examining prospect development agree that the period from age 17-19 are the key years. A player can take a step forward at age 20+, but most of that development has to do with getting comfortable with the speed of the game at high levels married to being placed in ideal circumstances by a smart coach/organization.
Put into today's terms, Taylor Hall may not have been the most impressive player at this week's prospect camp, but he has miles and miles of brain and physical development in the next two seasons. Jordan Eberle--just a little older--has developed more physically and is more mature in all areas.
Those 24 months are huge.
Injuries can have a mammoth impact on an NHL organization. Consider a few selected injuries from the last decade:
- Doug Lynch: A wrist injury that was not properly addressed and then a knee injury after being dealt to the Blues organization derailed a promising NHL career. That wrist injury came on the heels of a very impressive AHL season. Injuries had a major impact on his career; making the AHL All-Star game as a rookie defenseman (at age 20) is a very good career arrrow.
- Dan Baum: Was a long shot prospect who had an agitator style and fell victim to concussions. Injuries ended career.
- Jesse Niinimaki: Niinimaki showed a lot of promise until a (Guy Flaming described it as a "devastating injury") severe shoulder injury 10 games into the 2003-04 season ended his year. There were other factors (he didn't get any stronger) but it had an impact on his development. .
- JF Dufort: Suffered a career ending concussion late in 2002-03. Injuries ended career.
- Marc Pouliot: His development was slowed by numerous injuries beginning at the 2003 Prospects game (the Phaneuf hit). It continued unabated through his junior career and Pouliot has had some significant injuries and illnesses as a pro. Most notable was a bout with mono that kept him from being a part of the Stanley run, spring 2006.
- Mikhail Zoukov: Suffered a "serious injury" that wiped out his 04-05 season. Unkown impact on career.
- Rob Schremp: Suffered a serious knee injury at the end of the 06-07 season and required surgery. His recovery impacted his TC performance that fall and may have contributed to his inability to crack the roster.
- Alex Plante: Back and concussion problems after he was drafted slowed his development a great deal. Plante has re-set his career and things are looking up, but there's no doubt he lost some very important developmental time due to injury.
This isn't an effort to excuse Kevin Prendergast or to find a way to justify Marc Pouliot's 1st round selection in 2003. It is an effort to impress on fans that luck will have an enormous impact on the Taylor Hall draft. Good health, good coaching, discipline and desire will be major players in the equation over the next 24 months. We should expect a talented player who can deliver quality offensive seasons. The number one thing we should hope for is good health.
History tell us it is a big part of player development.

I always remember an interview Emmitt Smith gave - he basically said all the top RB's hitting the NFL have talent and that more than speed, playbooks, etc. the most difficult/important career factor was finding a way to stay healthy and avoid injury
July 09 2010, 05:22PM
So....if injuries were the reason those careers never took off, what's the deal with Alexei Mikhnov, Jani Rita, Michael Henrich, Michel Riesen, Matt Descoteaux, Steve Kelly, Jason Bonsignore, Nick Stajduhar and Joe Hulbig then?

Luck? That or the ability to skate with your head up. And a quick tip, Taylor; you don't 'brace' for a Chara hit. You get the hell out of the way.
People often talk about EDM needing to find a Keith, maybe they drafted him a year earlier, but he lost his career due to injury?
Duncan Keith - drafted 54 OV in 2002
Doug Lynch - drafted 43 OV in 2001
Obviously it's unlikely Lynch would have been as good as Keith is now, but maybe the team looks a bit different now if Lynch worked out like a Hamhuis (picked him because he's the same draft).?
July 09 2010, 05:34PM
The Gunn Show: I'm not saying ALL of these players would have developed, but if injury is a factor ages 17-19 it is a major concern.
As an example, I don't recall a Mikhnov injury so it would be very difficult to blame his being a poor selection on anything other than skill set (foot speed, in his case).
I'm suggesting that SOME of these prospects don't develop because of injury. It is a huge concern.
I hope you don;t think I was calling you out on anything. I was just being a sarcastic goof. Darn interbox not being able to translate sarcasm.
and I totally agree, there is nothing more devastating to the human body, athlete or not, than sustaining a huge injury during body development.
I fractured my ankle at 18, and have had 3 surgeries on it, now I'm 25 and walk with a limp. good times.
Great read, LT.
July 09 2010, 06:31PM
People underestimate how fast NHL hockey is both physically and mentally.
Any injuries to the knee or head can slow a player down just a fraction, but that's the difference from NHL & AHL & never was
July 09 2010, 07:15PM
You're right on with Lynch as an example of injuries. As you know, I covered the AHL during the NHL lockout and saw Lynch the entire season. He was never the same player mentally, in terms of assertiveness and aggressiveness, or physically after the wrist.
Niinimaki? Not so much. Jesse was never going to be an NHL player because he didn't have the drive to imrpove and excel. With Jesse, hockey was something to do, a kind of cool pastime.
His indifference to the work it would take to make the most of his considerable skills was summed up very nicely by coach Geoff Ward. Ward said: "Jesse likes everything about being a pro hockey player except playing the game."
So....if injuries were the reason those careers never took off, what's the deal with Alexei Mikhnov...
Hey! Mikhnov turned out to be pretty good. He's just playing in the wrong country is all.
July 09 2010, 07:26PM
What if Sidney Crosby leaves Pittsburgh in 3 years to win a Stanley Cup for Canadian franchise?
I doubt he's host a LeBronathon but it's really the only UFA with any real buzz due to the CBA.
July 09 2010, 07:29PM
Is it true the Oilers "red shirted" Taylor Hall during the development camp?
July 09 2010, 08:21PM
What about Paul Comrie?
Luck may indeed be a controlling factor in some of these player's development curve. I wonder if you could use the word durability as it applies to these young players. How do you measure durability at such a young age and can you have any realistic hope of drafting with durability as a factor in your consideration.
Don't forget the Nick Stajduhar injury. Punched out in the parking lot of a bar (Barry T's ??). Had a concussion and at one point there was a pending lawsuit against the guy who did it. The lawsuit claimed that as a result of the concussion from the fight he lost his hockey career. In short, he never progressed after that.
A total of 2 NHL games - and then the AHL, IHL, CHL, ECHL, WCHL, UHL ....
There are a lot of players in the edmonton organisation who have suffered serious injuries. These hurt the Oilers every bit as much as a prospect losing his career. The last 4 years prove it.
Horcoff missed 28 games with shoulder surgey in 07-08, he was on a 50pt - 53gm role.
Soury - The answer to CFFP - hurt countless times in his career. Including 56 games in 07-08 & 45 games in 09-10. Whether it was his fault or the Oils fault he has been less than stellar and his curent situation proves it it. Hemsky's surgery this season. Devastating!!! Killed any chance the Oil had.
Pisani and his colitis. Smid 70 some games in the last 3 seasaons. Torres, Stall, Smyth, Moreu, Habbi, Comrie, Brule, Georges L. The list goes on and on.
I would like to read your take on the injuries to roster players such as these. Management has pulled the injury card as an excuse for the current state of the Oilers dating back to the miserable end to the 2007 season.
How much blame do you put on the organisation**?
How much do we owe it to not having a true heavyweight? Such as BG. A nuclear deterent as MacT would call him. Any argument that Mig Mac didn't make a difference has to question his broken orbital bone. an essential bone for a fighter.
2007 was when the injury bug hit. Does it have anthing to do with Lowes refusal to lock up BG with a 900k salary and a NTC. MacT said at the time that "you dont realize how much you need a BG type until you don't have him". Is this a true statement??? Did big Macs orbital bone lead indirectly to Oiler man games while he was out?
How much is coachings approach to fitness to blame? Chad Moreau* argued rather strongly that the injuries went up after "the great boondoggle of 2007". This was when MacT switched much of the focus in the weightroom onto the training of poorly prepared prospects and worn out vets. A large ratio of on-ice / training hours compared to fitness building / sustaining hours.
Is the obviously bigger and meaner 2010 Oilers going to prevent injuries that have prevailed in the last 4 years? Shoulders, knees, colitis??? Are we big enough???
Do you think that Quinns old school coaching led to the high man games this past year? To small a team to run around clubbing people with there sticks???
* Chad Moroeu had an excellent article with an LA based news paper. Google it well woth the time.
** Tambo started slow. But has came on as of late. I am all for the direction he has taken. I can not wait to see Renney work with the bigger and hopefully meaner edition of the Oilers. I think that the "plan" of the current managment group is finally on track. Hopefully injuries do not effect our team as drastically any longer.
That's what makes picks like Curtis Hamilton so interesting/dangerous.
Identifying the difference between significant injuries early that will have little bearing on a pro career vs. injuries that signal a body that just can't take the punishment of a pro hockey career (I'll call it the 'Glass Joe' problem).
My suspicion is that players such as Hamilton can often become a draft day 'steal' if in fact the injuries sustained prior to the draft can be overcome without long-term ramifications.
Obvious indicators:
If Hamilton plays a full injury-free season this year, maybe scores at 1 PPG... and maintains his physical style - then the arrows look very good and one could argue the risk paid off (albeit very early in a career).
Or... he plays 30 games, has another major set back and gets scheduled for a significant surgery that then sets him back another year or two - making an NHL career a real longshot.
July 09 2010, 10:35PM
Ways the Oilers can limit time on the IR
1. Avoid mono, stop sharing skanks... 2. Limit time in defensive zone. 3. Milk 4. Hope Regehr gets traded to the East. 5. Flintstone vitamins.
**win a faceoff*

Off topic here,
Does tonights New York/Anahiem trade make the Ducks a possible trade partner for Souray, even if we have take back a garbage contract?(Blake)Or is he considered to be locker room poison even more than Souray?
Also, what about Ward as a veteran presence on the back end?

Seriously LT, your the best blogger out there... for any team. Kudos to RB too, he's my second fave.
Props to Wanye/Bingofuel and/or anyone else (jeanshorts?) who runs this well oiled machine.
July 10 2010, 01:49PM
What about Paul Comrie?
The only reason Paul Comrie wore Oiler silks was because his daddy was part owner of the Oilers. He wasn't even picked up his final year of midgets in the city! Next thing you know he's good enough to make the show?!?
Politics and hockey gross me out after seeing and hearing a lot of what goes on behind the scenes.

My Tips:
- The can even freeze, then thaw, then press tofu for an evem meatier texture.
- If you want tofu to be at its firmest, for salads, etc, you have to drain it of as much water as you can. Cut your slab in half, thickness-wise, and put them between some paper towels with a plate and a weight on top. Let it drain 20 - 30 minutes.
