Pufferfish Toxicity
Hi Everyone,
My name is Marni and I'm new to this forum. I run a science room at my daughter's elementary school and recently someone offered to donate their pet Pufferfish to our room. I have some concerns about this as I know the puffers can be toxic. Since we don't plan to let anyone eat the fish , I am thinking it would make a fine classroom pet, but I don't seem to be able to find any answers online re: how dangerous it might be to just touch the fish's skin (I am thinking of accidental contact between the fish and the person who would need to periodically clean the tank).
I am also wondering if pet stores wouldn't keep fish that were raised in an environment free of the neurotoxin bacteria, thereby rendering them harmless.
The person who is donating the fish is a stranger to me, claims to have bought the fish at a local pet shop and is giving it up b/c he's moving to a smaller apt. and won't have room for it.
Any info anyone can give me would be most appreciated. Thank you.
The toxin inside puffers is tetrodotoxin, and is only found in their livers. As long as no one ingests the fish, you should be alright. Hope it helps.
What kind of puffer is it? If you don't know the exact species, could you provide a picture? We can help you care for it, and let you know what it needs to thrive.Money can't buy happiness, but it sure can pay the rent.
Be prepared for feeding this fish. They require a specialized diet including hard shelled invertebrates. I'm not sure of the age of the class and how well feeding other live animals to it will go down with them.
As far as I know, there are no puffers common in the aquarium hobby that contain the toxins you are asking about.
I guess it depends if we are talking about FW puffers, or marine puffers as well as which exact FW or marine puffer.
I do not know about FW puffers, but I don't beleive they are toxic (just a guess on my part there). However, some of the marine ones that can be found in the hobby are very toxic. Withouth know which puffer we are talking about, it's hard to answere that question.

Am I inferring correctly that you have no little to no experience in keeping fish? If so, I would seriously suggest that you do not put your learning curve with puffers on display in front of a classroom of children. Losses happen and puffers can be sensitive fish wrt water parameters.
If you want to succeed in keeping fish take the time to research what's involved first and start with something hardy.
Do not accept the puffer and suggest that they return it to the store it came from or donate it to another store if that's not possible.
There are surely other live pets that would be easier to keep if the class must have a pet.
Good luck
Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

On Christmas night, we saw my cousin and his wonderful wife. They have done two IVFs that did not work out and since they were veterans, she gave me some WONDERFUL advice as we were going to start our IVF medications the next day. She said,
During her IVFs, she focused on being grateful for the science that made it possible for them to try at all. And even though she didn't get pregnant, she was glad they had the experience as it was a part of their incredible journey (they are now seeking to adopt! Their adoption profile is here.)
Danny and I were determined to make the best of this experience, too. But, I was still profoundly thankful for her words sounding strongly in my head as we opened the first packages of injections, which we were to administer each night at home: "ENJOY THE PROCESS. ENJOY THE PROCESS." :)
Danny was the best at reviewing the directions and knowing what to do. He was soooo sweet and attentive about the whole thing.
And with that, it happened. We kissed and gave each other high fives and even felt giddy.
We are now on Day 9 of this process, and well, somehow my cousin's words have rang true! We really have enjoyed it. I consider it a little miracle. I know I have been extremely lucky as I haven't had any physical or emotional reactions to the medications (hugely lucky, here). But most of all, the peace I've made with infertility has been at it's best. Instead of being full of anxiety and stress, I am calm and just full of curiosity and amazement regarding the possibilities. Instead of being consumed by fear and attached to a certain outcome, we have just both been full of more intense love and kindness and compassion for each other. Somehow we feel tighter than ever as a little family - and feel like real future parents.
Um, see what I mean about this being a miracle? As I write this out, I, too, am thinking, "How on earth?" Part of me wants to hold back from writing this out as I know this is such a sensitive and difficult experience for so many. But, the other part of me still wants to share, as my cousin did for me. Perhaps someone out there can say in her head, "Enjoy the process" - and it can make a difference, as it did for me.
P.S. For any IVF veterans out there, you probably know that by now we've had ultrasounds and know what the progress is looking like. So far, things are not looking as good as they'd like. The chances of this being successful are lower than expected. But our nurse said to have positive thoughts and to still plan on it happening. :) I loved her positivity. She said all you need is one healthy embryo. So, we are planning on it happening. I've even been nesting and the last two nights we've been at Ikea staring at Pax wall units to figure out how to maximize space in our kids' room. :) (Tell me, do moms prefer shelves or drawers for kids' clothes, shoes, toys & supplies?)
P.P.S. I've decided to make "Enjoy the Process" my theme for 2013, no matter what we have ahead. :) Want to join me?

"I shall no more to sea, to sea;
Here shall I die ashore."
William Shakespeare
The Tempest, Act II, Scene ii
If they made a movie of Caleb Johnson's book, Here Shall I Die Ashore, it would be a big-budget documentary action flick filmed on two continents, the ocean between them, and the island of Bermuda. The cast? Huge. Costumes? Everything from shipwreck tatters to a wardrobe fit for the King of England. Don't forget those fancy Pilgrim outfits and whatever the Indians wore.
And the dialogue? Uh-oh... Early Modern English? You're kidding, right? The action takes place in Shakespeare's time and, sorry to say it but I've never been a big fan of Shakespearean English. Without an interpreter, much of it is Greek to me. Well, alright, not exactly Greek, but I certainly miss the subtleties of contemporary communication.
But don't worry... Shakespeare wrote for an Early Modern English audience, whereas Caleb Johnson wrote for... well, me! He's pulled together tons of research about my ancestor, Stephen Hopkins, and about the events of his lifetime, both historic and picayune, and woven it all into a narrative that's as detailed as it is readable.
Stephen Hopkins, it turns out, had a pretty interesting life--adventurer, family man, businessman--Johnson tells all, including the suggestion that my 10th great-grandfather inspired the character called Stephano in Shakespeare's The Tempest. I hadn't heard this before, so I did a little search and found Dating The Tempest by David Kathman, in which he compares, line by line, what Shakespeare would have read in a first-hand report about the shipwreck of the Sea Venture (with Stephen Hopkins aboard) with what he wrote in his play. Pretty convincing!
In addition to Johnson's text, he's included seven appendices, almost a hundred pages of additional material.
I'm happy to have added this book to my family history library. In the glow of hindsight, though, I think I should have bought it in hardcover. It's a definite keeper!

We conduct programs and workshops on good clinical practices and ethical practice. We have also developed tools that help protect patient safety and help patients be informed participants in clinical trials. My favorite tool is the "Speaking Book;" these books translate the complexity of clinical trials into language that anyone can understand, using a lot of illustrations, and help patients know if they are part of trials what their rights are. These speaking books come in a number of languages and we use these books in India and in Asia. These books were developed by Pfizer with the help of some partner organizations. We are excited about these. They are very simple and straightforward and help patients [enrolling in clinical trials] understand what they are going into.
A couple of years ago, Pfizer established an Emerging Markets division. This shines a light on the importance of the region and on the unique needs that come up in countries like India and it allows us an opportunity to focus on them and meet these unique needs. I think this is a great prospect and we have made great progress in the space. It reaffirms our commitment to the emergent market space.
In terms of R&D and clinical development, where does India stand for Pfizer?
We are very committed to India. We have been in the country for as long as I have been on earth, since the 1950's. We have very deep roots here and a commitment to delivering important innovations here. The business commitment and the commitment to the community, to helping to improve health, is one of the exciting parts of being at Pfizer for me. The desire to work not just on our work but integrate into community to understand what challenges are and to try to meet them with all the other stakeholders -- to work with public-private partnerships to help build collaborations -- that's part of the way we like to operate here in India. We are always open to working and collaborating here in India to drive innovation and to make sure patients have access to our medicines.
Pfizer is one of the partners of TransCelerate. How is Pfizer contributing to that?
TransCelerate is such an exciting and necessary option for industry. It was formed based on the belief that as industry leaders, these 10 companies [who are TransCelerate partners], we do a lot of things alone that would be more effective if we do them together. TransCelerate was formed to help us identify some areas that were low-hanging fruits. The 10 companies have agreed to contribute resources and expertise to make that happen. So this is an action-oriented group, we have workstreams that intend to pull projects together and work on these projects to improve clinical trial conduct. The workstreams are forming at this moment and moving forward.
In 2012, Pfizer's clinical trial for several drugs had seen ups and downs. What was the reason for that? For instance J&J, Pfizer halted the phase III trial of an investigational Alzheimer's therapy.

"…We had to divide this place with the other criminal families. Each of us started to control our neighborhood according to our own rules. And that is how our clan, the Siberian clan, came to live here…"
SIBERIAN EDUCATION tells the story of a gang of children growing up in a community of banished criminals, in a forgotten corner of the former Soviet Union. This community rejects the world outside. The only law it obeys… is its own.

A story of a disappearing world and of children learning right from wrong in a criminal gangland, this is a heartbreaking story of two boys who try to overcome who they are and where they are from. They may be destined for a life of violence. But can they live this life with honour?

Southeast Cape Cod Inshore Wade Saltwater Fly/Spin Fishing Report's and Ramblings:
I hope you find my reports and articles entertainingly informative and mildly educational
6/10 S.E. Fishing Report:
The best two times to go fishing are when it's raining and when it's not. (Fisherman's Saying)
With today's sun and lighter winds, brought the anticipation of sight fishing the flats. We hit fish while sight fishing in 3 out of 3 spots. Did not see big numbers, but did see some big fish. There were just enough cruising by us all day to keep us on our toes.
(See Photo's)
Robert with his first ever "sight" fish. Also sighted this 29 inch'a!
(See Photo's)
Just a couple of Les's better fish from the flats today. Biggest was 32 inch's! Congrats to you both!!
It's a big Ocean, so where do the fish travel on a flat?
Ladder, 2 handed fly rod, few crabs, 1 spool of tippet and a long walk to an area Ive only looked at from a boat. Lobster man pulling traps, few terns diving for bait against the crisp morning blue bird sky and a lone clammer digging for next months rent. (No girls in grass skirts surrounding me in this one-ha) The water was retreating off the flat as I the walked out to another part of the Island that few, if any anglers frequent. This was not a day about fishing, but more of a day to study and learn a new area on foot to hopefully include in my staple of spots. Trying to unlock the secrets of currents, depressions and channels that create a rod map for fish on the incoming tide.
On the walk out I passed by areas that Ive studied and fished before and was thinking of a way to more easily describe to someone where the routes, roads of the fish are. To learn the routes where most fish travel is actually incredibly simple. Instead of looking at it at the low, which will also help. Simply look at where the water meets the sand, bars, and beach at 4 hours before the high. This is the route that most fish will take in 2-4 hours. Notice the bars, humps, which are not covered? These areas will give you a height advantage to better see them. In addition it will funnel most of the fish by you. This is a key ingredient as being 20 feet off can spell water void of fish, or more likely you will be standing directly where they live and travel. (He-he). Look for a shallow channel (s) that have a small amount of water in them, connecting to deeper water. As the tide rises they will use this area to search for food or transition through it. Look for small shallow coves. These coves are often left untouched as most anglers wade past them with out a second glance. I have stood in ankle deep water at the head of these coves and sight fished many a fish while others were stationed well out beyond their normal routes.
I find that by this determination it simplifies the whole process of how, where they will travel.
These are the same trails that never change through out the course of the summer. There is a lot of water out there that is empty of fish. Once these routes are learned, then one of the keys to fishing the flats more consistently is unlocked.
Best Fish's,
Randy Jones

"I only have one rule of writing. Everything else is a guideline. Sort of like the Pirate Code.
1. Write more."
Easier said than done? If you're following Jennifer Crusie's advice, linked in our last Tips 'n' Tricks post, then you're probably already writing more. But if you're struggling to define what "write more" means for you, check out Jay's specifics on his blog here.
What are your best writing tips? Feel free to post them in the comments below. Maybe you'll inspire someone to get over writers' block or finally finish that WIP.

As always, Gary, the pleasure is all mine. Thanks for the kind words!
Yes! Great Gigapan Ron, but you have a lot of other amazing ones as well. Thank you for the effort you put into photographing these places that so many have never seen.
I am exceedingly pleased with how well this GigaPan turned out. It has focus, interesting detail, size/depth, and fairly good composition, if I do say so myself. It may or may not do well from an explore score perspective, but at the moment I'm inclined to anoint it one of my best GigaPans yet - a personal favorite.

It took me a while to gather thoughts, but here goes:
I wasnt a paper scrapper. My first interest actually was photo editing. After moving to Florida from New Jersey, I took a short course on how to use editing software. I bought PSE 6 and loved the neat things that I could do with it: cropping, adjusting color and light, and adding text. I went on to try different creative effects. Then I got curious about making scrapbook pages, so I started a search for scrapbooking freebies. I found several sites and began to download every free thing I could find. Thats how I discovered Scrapgirls and the rest is history! I liked the quality of the offerings here and the fact that SG gave away a whole free collection as well as something new each day. I even purchased a couple of things. Eventually I became a member and bravely posted my first layout. So I guess you could say I got lured to SG because of its generosity, then stayed because of its quality. I told my husbands niece Marilyn (MariJ) to check SG out, and she joined even before I did. Now I have friends here from all over the world. We chat, we comment on each others layouts; its just the warmest place I could imagine for indulging my hobby.
Now for some personal stuff: Im married, retired, have two grown sons, and three adorable grandchildren. My husband and I live on the west coast of Florida. I like reading, sewing, yoga, needlework, eating and sleeping, but all those have been pushed aside for scrapping, LOL!
I guess I talked long enough! Carla, you asked me for a link to a favorite layout. Ive put up so many layouts that I recruited MariJ and DH to help me pick. Heres the link to one we all like:
One favorite
Also, in case you are curious, heres my first layout (all freebies!)
Freebie layout
Thank you. I feel truly honored to have been picked for Scrapgirls Member of the Month.
Diane! You deserve it! We're glad you're here!

SteelSeries Flux In-Ear Headset for Gaming and Music
"Introduction – In this review I'll be looking at the SteelSeries Flux, an IEM from a gaming accessory manufacture and a rarity in the Head-Fi community.

This scarcity of reviews is due to a number of things. First is the nature of gaming..." --Audiophile1811

| TRUTH: All it takes is a peek at Gwyneth Paltrow's legs in her Preen dress to dispel this fallacy. If you've got the gams, go for it! Just stick to understated silhouettes and, as super-stylist Rachel Zoe says, opt for "simple hair and makeup."

| TRUTH: The shimmery fabric is eye-catching for day when layered with plain basics. Rachel Bilson dressed down a sparkling mini with an oxford shirt, both from designer Jenni Kayne. "I think sequins are my favorite fabric because they are glamorous, but I think they also work for day," says Kayne. The designer recommends keeping "the silhouettes simple and easy."

| TRUTH: On the right dress, a well-placed peekaboo is a sly surprise. Joy Bryant looked ladylike in a Matthew Williamson with a daring cutout at the waist and an otherwise conservative cut. Her best accessory? Plenty of confidence. "A dress shouldn't own you. It shouldn't overpower you," Bryant has said. "You should own it."

| TRUTH: Petites need not fear the maxidress trend—Eva Longoria, Jessica Simpson and Kristen Bell have all mastered the summery style. Just choose a dress in a light fabric, like Bell's sheer silk gown from Jenni Kayne, to avoid adding bulk, and wear with comfortable, height-adding wedges.

| TRUTH: An unexpected color combination can make a major statement. Savvy Reese Witherspoon paired a Rory Beca dress in hot pink and red with matching red sandals. A pared-down silhouette put the color combo—and Witherspoon—in the spotlight.

| TRUTH: Black tights get extra chic when worn with a pair of eye-popping pumps. Sarah Jessica Parker gave her minidress a downtown spin with opaque tights and pale pink heels.

| TRUTH: You don't have to be a Whitesnake fan to rock a leather frock. Sienna Miller looked downright demure in her Alexander McQueen dress paired with a vintage bolero. Just choose a knee-length dress or skirt and add a tailored jacket or shirt for an urbane twist.

| TRUTH: Don't bother checking the calendar when you comb your closet. Diane Kruger wore a white Balmain minidress in the height of winter. Her secret? Seasonally appropriate close-toed shoes and a beaded dress with some heft.

Schönes, großzügiges Appartment in einem oberen Stockwerk mit tollem Blick auf den Augarten. Nette Einrichtung, es hat an nichts gefehlt. Für uns ideale Lage, da Freunde in der Nähe wohnen. Verkehrsanbindungen sind aber auch in Ordnung. Wir kommen auch in Zukunft gerne wieder!
The apartment is very nice and the location is great. We had no problems with the "checking in and out", everything worked great. David gave us a very nice and Gisela, we also have learned (both very nice). We will gladly return! Lg from Styria
Das Appartement ist sehr schön und die Lage ist super.
Wir hatten keine Probleme mit dem "Ein- und Auschecken", hat alles super funktioniert. David hat uns sehr nett empfangen und Gisela haben wir auch noch kennengelernt (beide sehr sympathisch).
Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Wonderful location, stunning apartment and great hosts. Highly recommend this apartment to anyone travelling to Vienna. Especially love the beautiful park across the road (great for kids)
An absolute must! The apartment is perfectly located. It is very tastefully decorated and great. Gisella hostess welcomed us warmly, and organizationally everything went wonderfully. We as a family all felt very comfortable. Gladly again! DSLA from Switzerland
Ein absoluter Geheimtipp!! Die Wohnung ist perfekt gelegen. Sie ist sehr geschmackvoll und toll eingerichtet. Gastgeberin Gisella hat uns herzlich empfangen, und organisatorisch hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Wir als Familie fühlten uns alle sehr wohl. Gerne wieder!!

Very nice, bright apartment with lots of charm. We received a very friendly and made us feel immediately at home. The apartment is located on the Augarten, which we have used every day for walks. Public transport (Tram 3 min distance, subway 15 min away) put us in a very short time to our desire destinations. We will recommend the apartment very much. It was a great stay!
Sehr schöne, helle Wohnung mit viel Charme. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und haben uns sofort zu Hause gefühlt. Die Wohnung liegt direkt am Augarten, den wir täglich für schöne Spaziergänge genutzt haben. Die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel (Tram 3 Min Entfernung, U-Bahn 15 Min Entfernung) brachten uns in kürzester Zeit zu unseren Wunschdestinationen. Wir werden die Wohnung sehr gerne weiterempfehlen. Es war ein toller Aufenthalt!
Great flat, very bright and spacious.
Location is perfect and Gisella was
a great host. Thank you we enjoyed
our stay.
Highly recommended! Very nice! Really great! Were all excited! Greetings from Germany ;-)
Nur zu empfehlen! Sehr schön! Ganz große Klasse! Waren alle begeistert!
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland!;-)
Nice appartment. Clean and near the city. Easy access to metro and bus. Very friendly hosts. We had a very nice stay in Wien.
We have been staying for 4 days in July in Vienna in apartment that we booked thru Wimdu. Even though we came late David met us and took us up to the apartment. He made a brief and at the same time detailed introduction, showed the rooms and answered all our questions. He is a very friendly person.
Entering the room, it was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped and clean, big windows overlooking park, good neighborhood. The building is close by historical center, very easy access to public transportation. We would have free parking garage had we have a smaller size car. Not a problem though because we parked the car at public parking garage in close proximity to our apartment building for a reasonable price.
Such things like a full kitchen, shower room, big living room, spacious bedroom with closets, kitchen table, TV, Wi-Fi make us feel like at home. It is very well thought out for overnight guests and is highly recommended.
Rozhkov family.
Very pretty apartment, comfortable, with lovely views to the park and very well communicated.It had everything necessary. It really met our expectations. The hostess was charming, by the way.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 6:30 PM GMT on May 05, 2007
A terrible scene--played out all too often in 2007--happened again last night in Greensburg, Kansas. The sirens sounded, warning of an advancing tornado, but the black of night hid the 3/4-mile wide monster twister approaching from the southwest. The residents of this small town of 1600 had time to find safe shelter, but the tornado was so powerful, that even sturdy buildings could not protect the residents. The tornado destroyed or heavily damaged 90% of the town, destroying the central business district, city hall, and the high school. Eight people died, plus one more person 30 miles away. Damage surveys are not yet complete on the tornado, but photos I've seen of the destruction show damage consistent with EF4 winds(168-199 mph). It is possible the storm was an EF5 (winds more than 200 mph). The ten deaths yesterday bring the U.S. tornado death toll to 69 so far this year, three more than the toll for all of last year. For those interested, I've saved a 1 Mb animation of the radar reflectivity and Doppler velocities of the tornado (thanks to Wunderblogger redefined for saving these!) The animations show some very strong rotation and odd swirling behavior that I don't recall ever seeing in a tornado radar animation before.
Wunderblogger Mike Theiss was out chasing yesterday and caught some of the storms; be sure to tune into his blog over the next few days to read his chase accounts.
Figure 1. Radar image of the strom that spawned the Greensburg, KS tornado of May 4, 2007.
Major severe weather outbreak today expected
More strong (EF2 and EF3) or violent (EF4 and EF5) tornadoes are possible again tonight, and the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has put a large area of Kansas and Nebraska under its highest risk level, "High Risk". This is the fourth time this year that SPC has issued its "High Risk" forecast. The last time it did so, on April 24, an EF3 tornado struck the Mexico/Texas border near Eagle Pass, killing ten (the "High Risk" area defined by SPC was actually a bit north of where the tornado struck). Tornadoes have already been reported in Colorado and Nebraska today, so tune into our severe weather page and radar page to follow the outbreak.
Coastal Carolina storm
The latest (8am EDT) computer forecast models continue to show a moderately strong coastal storm developing several hundred miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, on Monday. The storm will be extratropical in nature when it forms. It will bring strong winds and high surf to the Carolina coast for several days early next week, as it meanders offshore. Water temperatures are 22-23 C off of the coast, which may be warm enough to allow the low to acquire some subtropical characteristics and become the season's first named storm. However, none of the models are showing this, and I put the odds of a Subtropical Storm Andrea forming next week at about 10%.

/ A Winning Year for Wildlife and Wetlands
NRCS Wins Ducks Unlimited Award for Gulf Habitat Initiative and Wetlands Conservation Enrollment
Scott Sutherland, Director of Ducks Unlimited's (DU) Government Affairs Office, presented DU's 2011 Wetlands Conservation Achievement Award to NRCS Chief Dave White, spotlighting the agency's successes in creating bird habitat in Gulf of Mexico flyways and delivering a record-setting year in Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) enrollments. Chief White accepted the award on behalf of all NRCS personnel who "did the work" for the Migratory Bird Habitat Initiative (MBHI) and the WRP signup.
Chief White praised DU for envisioning the initiative developed in response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last year. Through MBHI, farmers and partners from conservation, agricultural, and environmental groups created habitat for migratory birds on almost 500,000 acres in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas. "Some of our offices had people lined up out the door wanting to sign up," said White. "They really wanted to help."
Director Sutherland also lauded last year's record enrollment of 272,000 acres in WRP, saying that it "blew the doors out of the program that's been doing so many things for ducks since 1990." Chief White said the successful signup in 2010 sets the stage for another banner year and thanked DU and all partners for their excellent support.

Reviews of this property
We arrived at the apartment around 23:00 hours. Total darkness and difficulty of finding lo.Higiene and heating deficit, only 2 fillings and very cold. Wiring damaged and dangerous. Lack of light inside the apartment. Difficulty bathing without wetting everything. The TV does not work! I complained on the first day and was so even. Written material found inside the apartment with the rules to be followed, which included handwritten that our checkout was 11:00 (AM) but at 10:00 (AM) when we finished closing the bags were grossly invaded by a Mr cleaning. As before you hire Eric asked to check-out a little later, we interpret the escrtito as a courtesy, but unfortunately received little polite phone call from Sonia.
Chegamos ao apartamento perto das 23:00 horas. Escuridão total e dificuldade de encontrá-lo.Higiene e aquecimento deficitários, apenas 2 acolchoados e muito frio. Instalação elétrica danificada e perigosa. Falta de luz dentro do apartamento. Dificuldade de tomar banho sem molhar tudo. A TV não funciona! Reclamei no primeiro dia e ficou por isso mesmo. Encontramos material escrito dentro do apartamento com as regras a serem seguidas, onde consta escrito à mão que nosso check-out seria às 11:00 (AM) mas às 10:00 (AM) quando terminavamos de fechar as malas fomos grosseiramente invadidos por um senhor da limpeza. Como antes de fazer a locação solicitei ao Eric um check-out um pouco mais tarde, interpretamos o escrtito como sendo uma gentileza, mas infelizmente recebemos telefonema pouco polido da Sonia.
The apartment was very quiet and well located (metro Sentier). If you put no value on the Comfort is OK for the price. We found the old facility, several lights were not working the same and not a radiator. We would not want to stay here again
Das Appartment war sehr ruhig und gut gelegen (nächste Metro Sentier).Wenn man kein Wert auf Comfort legt ist das OK für den Preis. Wir fanden die Einrichtung alt, mehrere Lampen funktionierten gleich nicht und ein Heizkörper auch nicht. Wir würden nicht nochmal hier übernachten wollen

Result of my stay: no coffee !!, no TV !! infernal noise of mechanical ventilation.

Will come back for sure.
Thank you
Good and cozy apartment in the Marais. We (two adults and two teenagers) had 5 nights in the apartment over New Year. It worked super fine for us. Very central location in a really nice area of Paris with many small interesting shops and a short distance to many attractions. The area shall be a cornucopia of delicatessen shops. Quiet rise and apartment location "in the middle" of the apartment stairwells, makes it experienced very quiet. The only sounds came from the floor above them - and it was just nice to know that we were all alone in Paris :-) We will definitely return to the apartment in the Rue St. Claude. Happy new year! Tine with family
God og hyggelig lejlighed i Marais. Vi (to voksne og to teenagere) havde 5 overnatninger i lejligheden hen over nytåret. Den fungerede superfint for os. Meget central beliggenhed i et rigtig dejligt område af Paris med mange små spændende butikker og kort afstand til mange seværdigheder. I området forefindes et overflødighedshorn af delikatessebutikker. Rolig opgang og lejlighedens placering "i midten" af lejligheds-opgangene, gør, at den opleves meget stille. De eneste lyde kom fra lejligheden ovenover,- og det var bare hyggeligt at fornemme, at vi ikke var helt alene i Paris:-) Vi vil helt bestemt vende tilbage til lejligheden i Rue St. Claude. Godt nytår! Tine m. familie
good flat, little problem the first night because, the door closed fron the interieur. We called people at the café to open. At 11 pm nobody were at the offici. And police not came. After that, all was good.
We found it in the apartment. It was fine. A top location! Highly recommended!

2010 CEO: Chinatown Wars piracy hampered sales
GTA: Chinatown Wars - General News | @ 07:27 AM MDT | By Neil
Rockstar has been pretty tight-lipped about sales of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, which is available on three platforms. The DS, PSP and iPhone versions launched on different dates but all were met with praise - including some of the highest average review scores for their respective platforms.
However, Take Two CEO Ben Feder is today claiming that sales of the game have "suffered at the hands of piracy". He says that this combined with a weak demand for handheld software have left copies of Chinatown Wars on store shelves rather than in the hands of gamers.
Specific sales numbers are not available, although you can read the rest of MCV's interview for a little more insight.

The transition from combat to civilian life
SPOKANE, Wash. - The difficult transition from combat to civilian life is getting easier for local veterans by spending time in the great outdoors.
On Saturday, 30 combat veterans and their families spent the day at 49 Degrees North learning how to snowboard.
The Veterans Outreach Center, Spokane Valley Fire Department and Fire District 8 organized the event. 49 Degrees North donated gear, tickets and lessons.The transition from combat to civilian life
"For us here in Spokane we have really tried to take advantage being in the outdoors," David Baird with the Vet Center said.
"We are finding, especially with our younger veterans folks that have been to Iraq and Afghanistan different operations . . . they are not open to the traditional treatments of sitting in an office, counseling talking about your feelings and stuff. Our number one mission at the Vet Center is readjustment and readjustment to civilian life after combat. And as you can imagine that can be difficult not only for the vet but for the veterans family. So what we are trying to do today is work on that readjustment, that's the underlining goal," Baird added.
Sean Mckeen, 25, served 12 months in Iraq removing improvised explosive devices from roadways. Mckeen said since he's been back he has a hard time talking to other people his age.
"It's been different," Mckeen said.
"I don't get a long with people my age anymore that's for sure. I just don't feel like I can talk to people my own age. So, going to things like this where there's people that have been through similar experiences helps you know, feel like you have someone to hang out with," he added.
After an hour of lessons, Mckeen and several other vets slowly made their way down the mountain. Organizers hope to get veterans back on the slopes next month.
"And there's no greater treatment for post combat reaction than one veteran helping another," Baird said.

Assignment: Education-4-year-old Preschool
Four-year-old preschool has been a part of the La Crosse School District for eleven years.
"Everyone has recognized the importance of preschool education, and the head start that it gives students and children as they're moving into the school world," said Mark White, Preschool supervisor for the La Crosse School District.
And that's exactly what the parents of the more than 400 children who attend the program in La Crosse are looking for.
"To support the transition to kindergarten from daycare," said Tim Hanson, parent of the preschool student. "Just to get her prepared for school."
And while teachers go over some basics, the major focus of preschool is on socialization.
"We do a lot of role modeling of what is appropriate and what's not appropriate," said Jean Ann Burkard, Emerson Elementary 4-year-old preschool teacher. "And I think we have one of the most important jobs in the school district is to prepare those children for what's ahead of them."
And what's ahead of them is Kindergarten... a much different kindergarten then you and I remember.
"I would say we definitely are teaching kids more in kindergarten then we did in the past," said White. "The standards movement over the last ten years and the expectations for where students should be at the end of third grade have put some additional academic expectations into our kindergartens."
As a result, kindergarten teachers today have less time to teach kids the basics of how school works. They're moving right into academics.
"The amount of play and the time of eye contact with each other and their interactions with each other is getting to be less and less in kindergarten," said Deb Bemis, Emerson Elementary kindergarten teacher, "because we're asking them to do paper and pencil activities. And we're asking them to be focused on books. And we're asking the children to... rather than what they used to do with play and play dough and Legos. It's becoming more of what we used to see in first grade ten years ago."
Which is why kindergarten teachers like Mrs. Bemis say preschool is more important than ever before, and studies support her beliefs.
"Lots of studies that have shown that later on in life we have less special ed referrals which for school districts is a good thing," said White. "Students obviously are getting off to a better start in that respect."
Which is exactly what educators are hoping for.

Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) are up 4 cents, or 1%, at $$4.09, after the company this morning formally unveiled its processor roadmap for servers, discussing three parts coming in 2014 for mainstream servers and also the emerging category of "micro-servers."
AMD will offer an x86 part to go head to head with Intel's (INTC) mainstream X86 parts, called "Warsaw." AMD will also offer an X86 part and a part using ARM Holdings's (ARMH) instruction set, called "Berlin" and "Seattle," respectively, that will be designed for the lower power envelope needed in micro-servers for Web-centric data centers.
Here's the roadmap included with AMD's announcement today:
AMD bills Seattle as the first system-on-a-chip to use ARM's 64-bit processor extensions, the technology known as "Cortex-A57."
Street observers have had different responses today.
David Wong with Wells Fargo, who has an Outperform rating on AMD shares, thinks the strategy is a good one, but Intel remains his top pick given that he thinks AMD will prove less of a threat for traditional servers as it goes after micro-servers:
We think that AMD's latest roadmap is consistent with our view that AMD is focusing its R&D efforts on new niche areas in which it might be able to compete effectively, while reducing its investment in segments where it potentially faces competitive disadvantages. We think that this is an appropriate strategy which will help AMD reach a level of sustainable profitability in a reasonable period of time. We are reiterating our Outperform rating on AMD. We think that Intel's market share and ASP in the high end 2-way and 4-way server processor space might firm as AMD fades in this segment.
Doug Freedman of RBC Capital Markets, who doesn't formally cover AMD shares, and who has an Outperform rating on Intel shares, sees little here that will challenge Intel much:
We do not see material risk to Intel's lead in the server market. To us, AMD's vision is a bit perplexing given that the company appears to be going in multiple directions with a limited R&D budget. Thus to an extent, we feel that plans for its partnership with ARM could be more transparent via firm commitments. In regards to Intel, they have the ability to support its roadmap through balance sheet strength and world class manufacturing. For AMD, given what we perceive to be a lack of focus, it could be challenging to grow presence across its end-markets. Consequently, we view today's news as a mild positive for INTC.
In a follow-up note this afternoon, Freedman argued further that AMD could be hurt with the management shake-up announced this morning at Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), where PC chief Todd Bradley is giving up his post to assume a strategic role at the server giant:
We recognize that executive shifts often lead to strategy changes, and believe that this could lead to an opportunity for Intel to increase its presence at HP. Currently, AMD's largest customer is HP, listed as its only 10%+ customer in its recent 10K. Consequently, the change in strategy at HP can potentially have a material impact on CPU market share, where AMD likely has its highest market share. Thus we will need to keep close eye on change in management strategies at HP which could result in market share shifts between INTC and AMD.
I wrote a column in this week's Barron's print magazine, opining that AMD shares could double from their current level, helped by the micro-server strategy.

Kudos to the Animal Planet for a a very well put together documentary entitled "Glory Hounds", which gives an insight into the work and lives of U.S. Armed Forces service dogs and their handlers. And from a former police K9 handler here stateside, I wish to extend a huge THANK YOU to those who serve, and have served, abroad, with a special thank you to those who participated in this small segment of our military.
I'm sure Animal Planet will show this again, so I encourage you to watch it. I'm also sure that many (hell, MOST) of you will not make it throught the entire show with a completely dry eye.

Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.
Dark Myst Pygmies are, despite their dark and gloomy appearance, merry creatures that are usually seen in dark swamps playing among tree branches. These small dragons love humidity, as it keeps their skin well-hydrated, and are most happy when it is raining or foggy. They feed off larvae and insects and occasionally hunt for tiny lizards and frogs.

Police chief asks commission to fire Heimsness
Wray files 58-page complaint against controversial officer
MADISON, Wis. - The Madison police chief is seeking to fire an officer involved in the controversial shooting death of a Madison man last year, though not for that reason, the chief said.
Madison Chief of Police Noble Wray filed a complaint Friday before the city Police and Fire Commission for a "separation of service" between the department and Officer Stephen Heimsness.
However, in a statement, Wray wrote that the complaint doesn't pertain to the officer-involved shooting that left Paul Heenan dead on Nov. 9 that's caused much controversy.
"Nothing contained within the filing changes my conclusions regarding the officer-involved shooting that resulted in the death of Paul Heenan," the chief wrote.
Reports have said Heenan, 30, was not armed when he mistakenly entered the wrong house two doors down from his own late that evening. Police responded to a report of a burglary at the Baldwin Street address and Heenan was shot outside the home.
Heimsness was cleared of wrong-doing by authorities after internal reviews, police had said.
Wray said in the statement Friday that the complaint "pertains to matters separate from the officer involved shooting."
Attorney Scott Herrick with the Police and Fire Commission declined to comment on the chief's complaint, citing in an email that the matter is pending.
He did note that Wray's complaint was a sizable document at 58 pages but did not provide details about the nature of the complaint.
Heenan's Baldwin Street roommates Nate and Amelia Royko Maurer have been working for answers in the Heenan case since the November death of their friend and housemate.
The Royko-Maurers collected signatures for Heimsness' removal from the force in May and most recently filed their own formal complaint against the officer with the Police and Fire Commission on Friday.
On Saturday morning, Nate Royko Maurer told News 3 the news that the chief wants Heimsness removed isn't totally satisifying, saying he'd hoped police would acknowledge something went wrong in the Nov. 9 incident that left his friend dead.

PENNSYLVANIA GAME COMMISSION PRESS RELEASE #039-09, April 9, 2009:
[font="verdana,arial,geneva"]THE RED COATS ARE COMING!
Well... not exactly
HARRISBURG - The Red Coats are coming! The Red Coats are coming! Well, they're not exactly the British Red Coats invading New England; they're ruby-throated hummingbirds and it would appear to be a northern invasion!
Pennsylvania Game Commission officials are encouraging residents to be on the look-out for ruby-throated hummingbirds, the only hummingbirds regularly found in Pennsylvania or east of the Mississippi in spring and summer.
"Hummingbirds begin to trickle into Pennsylvania in April and, by May 1, they're usually well established across the state," said Carl G. Roe, Game Commission executive director. "They winter in Central and South America. When they head north, they fly nonstop across the massive Gulf of Mexico and then flit from flowerbed to feeder to flowerbed through the South as they work their way north to their nesting grounds."

"Force fetch isn't about retrieving as much as it is conditioning a dog to handle pressure, in a very controlled environment. It's about putting a dog in the position of having to figure out how to turn off pressure by finding the correct response. This translates into numerous areas in training." Sharon Potter.
Any chance of a further short demonstration on his training methods?

Field trial labradors, the wind beneath my wings,

Not saying they do it better or necessarily know more than the US experts, I haven't even seen the DVDs, but I'll bet there are things to be learned from anyone who is successful at what they do. Especially if the scenery is REALLY pretty!
Hi Jen,
James up here in Canada......I have been following the post on the DVD by Keith Matthews, and I must say that some of the comments and criticisms about the trainer and his DVD are really disappointing and sickening, especially comment about dog on left side sent by right hand signal, wow. Don't these guys understand that the field trials originated in Britain long before they were introduced to U.S. and Canada. This post was to help promote a well respected trainer and trialer and his DVD, not to shoot him down and nit-pick like a bunch of old hens.
I think it's good to ask questions about and really vet any supposed experts putting out a DVD. Especially if you're spending more than $100. I see what you're saying, but can't blame anyone for questioning something different. It's when you get the right answers to the questions when the good stuff happens.
Good morning Jen, well at least it's morning here in Ireland. I have read with interest some of the comments on the forum. We have a saying here in Ireland, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating", or in this case, the watching. Watch and marvel as 'The Dog Guru' teaches how he trains his Labradors here in Ireland, without E collars, force, intimidation, or threat, as I said before, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Warmest regards, Harry
Anyone who trained the send out as described in the Wildrose DVD published and widely sold in the US.don't mean to cast asperisions, but WHO in the USA sits a dog on his left side and send with his right hand ????
There are also other differences in the send out than just hand position.
Thank you, very kind, Mine's a pint.
