While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings.

Parts Used & Where Grown
Gymnema sylvestre is a woody climbing plant that grows in the tropical forests of central and southern India. The leaves are used in herbal medicine preparations. G. sylvestre is known as "periploca of the woods" in English and meshasringi (meaning "ram's horn") in Sanskrit. The leaves, when chewed, interfere with the ability to taste sweetness, which explains the Hindi name gurmar-"destroyer of sugar."

Comments about GNC Herbal Plus Standardized® Gymnema Sylvestre:
For so long, I've been looking for something to help with my cravings and weight loss and was not getting results no matter what I tried. I had a tremendous appetite and just did not know what to do after trying so many weight loss aids and often, very minimal results. I was not giving up hope and continued doing additional research and came across this product. Within days, I've noticed improvement in my appetite and a bay in my cravings. I would have a thing for jelly beans and choclates in the past, and now find it a whole lot easier to control myself from eating that stuff.. This product is a great alternative for anyone looking to maintain/ loose weight without the harsh side effects.

Comments about GNC Herbal Plus Standardized® Gymnema Sylvestre:
good stuff, the Indian system of preventive medicine is so much older than the western medical model (and this herb is part of that Indian medical practice)that they must be doing something correctly and well to yet have this excellent herb as a part of their holistic (natural) medical belief.

Captions: The Stories Behind the PhotosChasing the Northern LightsPresented by Snapped More than thirty years ago, a farm boy from Wisconsin watched the northern lights flash across the night sky and dreamed of Alaska. He worked his family's gardens with his hands, but he imagined using them to help build the pipeline snaking its way across the Land of the Midnight Sun, and even after his own children had grown and left the home, his Alaskan dreams remained. So, at the turn of the new millennium, Gary Kallberg took his wife and his belongings and moved north, settling down in the deep, cold woods outside Fox in the heart of the Last Frontier. And when he looked up at night, the dancing green glow of the aurora seemed closer than ever before. So he bought a new camera, his first DSLR, a Nikon 5000 that stayed in its box for nearly a month after he opened it. "I kind of thought I shouldn't keep such a thing," he said. But he did, learning to adjust the exposure and shutter speed until the northern lights flickered across his camera like they did across the horizon. He began going to bed earlier and earlier, waking up in the middle of the night to make his way into the dark and point his lens towards the lights above. There are hundreds of photos – swirling colors twinkling across shadowy skies and flaring between orange streetlights and dark buildings – and Kallberg sells them on magnets and puzzles and playing cards and calendars from the small shop he built with his wife. They keep gardens, too, growing hardy oversized vegetables and Alaska wildflowers on the grounds alongside Goldstream Creek. And most nights, the northern lights wave overhead. "I am truly blessed," he said.

The Wizards have shown the ability to bounce-back this season, at least on their home court. And that's exactly what they did on Easter Sunday, providing a solid showing against a decent Raptors team in a 109-92 win. Washington tied the all-time series with Toronto at 33 games apiece and moved to 22-18 with a healthy John Wall. Below, Randy Wittman talks about what he called one of Wall's "better all-around games," and then I provide the game reaction (also submitted to ESPN's Daily Dime).
Wall finished with 18 points, 10 assists and merely a single turnover. He set the tone from the tap and played the measured point guard people want to see more consistently. Acknowledging that Wall did score a career-high 47 points a week ago, Wittman called the effort against Toronto one of Wall's "better all-around games."

Essemtec to Invest in More Efficient Car Fleet
Press release
Essemtec, the Swiss manufacturer of production system, will replace its European car fleet with modern, energy-saving models. This strategy will reduce the company's operating costs and reduce CO2.
"Opel's EcoFLEX technology suits us," said CEO Martin Ziehbrunner. In April 2011 the company replaced all the vehicles of European service and sales staff with new environmentally friendly vehicles. EcoFLEX is a holistic approach that provides customers with cars that offer higher performance with less effort. "In this respect, our SMD pick-and-place machines are exactly the same," added Ziehbrunner. "Our machines are highly efficient and use less energy and time, too".
Essemtec invests in a modern car fleet of thirty new Opel Astra and Insignia with EcoFLEX technology. These cars are more efficient because they make use of the full optimization potential of motor and vehicle. Essemtec expects remarkable cost-savings from the lower fuel consumption. Additionally, the new models reduce CO2 pollution and protect the environment.

Playing IPTV Multicast stream
I gave OpenBSD a try as a desktop/workstation system. I'm even surprised how usable OpenBSD is after all, almost everything works as I've excepted (ok, missing a proper flash player is a bit annoying...) However, I've couple of days been fighting to make IPTV work. My Internet connection includes possibility to watch IPTV as multicast stream. In Debian GNU/Linux it works correctly - I can watch streams via VLC player or Mplayer. Command mplayer 'udp://@<ip address>:<port>' starts playing the multicast stream on Linux, but in OpenBSD mplayer says: Timeout! No data from host <ip> udp_streaming_start failed No stream found to handle url udp://@<ip>:<port> My network router is configured properly as I can watch IPTV thourgh it on Linux. I've tried to allow multicast connections on pf with some how-tos without success. I've even disabled pf temporarily, but that didn't work either. It seems to me that there is some thing which blocks receiving multicast streams, but that's not pf. Any ideas? I've OpenBSD 4.7-stable installation, i386 platform. |
I have IPTV here at home, but through STBs, and that multicasting is on a separate subnet from the family LAN, so I've never tried it via OpenBSD or any other general use OS. Just the WinCE STBs running Dreamcast (AT&T U-Verse service).
I have used multicast on OpenBSD, though on loopback only, for use with qemu virtual machine networks. That limits my experience with it. I don't think PF is a requirement for multicast. Sysctl settings are needed to route multicast packets, however. I don't do that here, as I don't want our OpenBSD router transiting multiple channels of HDTV. Since I do have access to the IPTV subnet, I can certainly experiment with you.

"Not bad but NOT worth the $$$!"
The rules called for an additional $25 a day for housecleaning. For the price we paid it should have been include. It took 3 hours for the heat to rise 4 degrees. Not worth the$$$Prawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia
I upgraded to a 1br with an ocean view. I wouldn't recommend this hotel without an ocean view, I feel as though a reason to stay on the cape is to enjoy the Atlantic. The full-size refrigerator was a great bonus as was the jacuzzi tub. I would definitely come to this resort again!Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
"Well appointed room."
The room was comfortable and very clean. We had booked a king size bed and was booked into a room with a queen size bed. Carbon monozide alarm required attention and maintenance immediately addressed the issue but unfortunately alarm started beeping around midnight. But I would highly recommend this resort.

across the street from the very small beach. No front desk, had to go to another resort to check in. Signs very poor. Have to pay for a maid to clean room and change sheets.

Hotel was great, but there was no AC in the bedroom upstairs in the unit. Only the downstairs was air conditioned. Luckily it was a cool night, but it started raining in the early morning and rain came into our sleeping quarters.Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
"Beach bummer"
Rooms were spacious and in general, the resort was adequate. The beach, all 30 ft of it was littered with seaweed, dead horseshoe crabs and barnacles. It wouldn't be my first choice if I were to return to Dennis port.Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
"Bird's eye view from the third floor private balco"
Although we were initially disappointed that our unit was not ON the beach, we ended up being very pleased with our accommodations. Cute condo unit with two private balconies, winding staircase, and comfy bed. Everything was very clean and neat.

"Studio is not a good choice."
I stayed in the studo which is across the street from the main building near the beach. Newly renovated, but really cheaped on on the exceptionally soft matress that gave both my wife and myself a back ach. No TV in the bedroom area. Flood lights on outside the balcony and front door that actually made it feel like morning all night even with drapes […] closed. Rooms where hot from other surrounding rooms.

"Off season, definitely the time to go"
In what turned out to be a chillier than normal pre-season weekend, we were upgraded to a beautiful suite with spa tub and comfortable large living room with hi-def TV and DVD, which came in handy one damp cold night. Front desk staff was very helpful in steering us to the best local restaurants and even where we could rent videos.

"Flooded by showers and high tide"
Room had nice updates. Layout was a bit awkward. We walked into the bedroom /bath then into kitchen / living.The jacuzzi was next to the dining set and the view was supposed to be oceanfront but we looked out to the empty pool and deck, not our idea of a view... We could hear every step from the upstairs room. When they took a shower at 6:45 am their […] bathroom flooded into our bathroom, very rude way to wake up. We called the staff but the maintenance staff was not on duty yet and we mopped up the flood, no help was offered and we had to request for more towels for the clean up...no apologies, no housekeeping staff came to help. Eventually towels arrived and maintenance. No housekeeping for the 3 nights we were there. The steps down to the tiny beach area are covered with the high tide 2 x a day so alternate beach access is necessary. Lots of construction on nearby resorts so we would definitely try a different resort. we will not go back to the breakers... Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia

Very nice place spacious, cheap compared to Boston hotels although it was the off season. The cute girl working the counter was very helpful, she spent about an hour with me trying to get some business cards printed as I had forgotten mine. Great staff, big clean room with a nice tub in the window overlooking the ocean. Also had a full bath 2 TV's and […] a kitchenette, everything i could have hoped for and more and I paid under a hundo in early April.

We stayed during the off season and were blown away by how awesome our room was. Because it was not that busy the front desk person put us in a nicer room than we had originally booked.

"Spacious condo - ocean at your front door!!"
We found The Breakers resort by accident as the Inn we usually stay in was completely booked on New Year's Eve. We were more than pleasantly surprised by how spacious it was.....w/ an exceptional location w/ the ocean located right in front of the building.

"breakers in dennisport"
everything about the room was top shelf. extremely clean, brand new appliances and fixtures. very very nice. the only quibble i had was the what i thought was a very early check-out at 10 am. i had never seen that before, most places are 11 am. i would definitely come back here in the summer.Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
"The Breakers @ D'port"
We checked into a room the size of a walk-in closet. No place to put clothing- no dressers. Carpets need cleaning. Try falling asleep with lights on all night just above sliding door and pool. No choice to turn them off. There is no view of the ocean so don't let the picture of the building on the beach mislead you. Will never return!Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

Spacious room with kitchenette and seating area - looked brand new. Good location midway along the Cape for exploring the area. Staff were helpful and made good recommendations for dining near to the resort.Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
We have been going to The Breakers since the early '80's and were anxious to see the end result of the rehab as a time-share. It is truly a wonderful property now and in talking to some owners', seems to be a well-run resort. We will continue to watch for opportunities to rent unfilled rooms in the future. Beds were comfy, kitchenette well- stocked, […] pleasing decor and a tub with jets. Beach would have been inviting had we not booked during a rainy week. Only complaint would be that the sound-proofing could be better in the ceiling...thumping from above, but luckily during the day. We will most likely return!

The Bad
- Too tempting to play through the entire game in detective vision mode
- Supervillains that you don't get to fight feel like missed opportunities.
You've heard of Batman no doubt, but if you don't read comics, it's conceivable that you might be unfamiliar with Arkham Asylum. The iconic psychiatric hospital is essentially Gotham City's Alcatraz, and it has housed just about every villain Batman has ever tangled with at one time or another. Now, thanks to Eidos and developer Rocksteady, Arkham is also the setting for a great third-person action game in which the lunatics take over the asylum and only you can stop them. As Batman, you not only get to go toe-to-toe with thugs in fast-paced punch-ups, but you also employ satisfying stealth tactics, play with great gadgets, solve some remarkable riddles, and do a decent amount of detective work. In short, you get to do all of the things that you want to when you don a Batman costume in a game, provided you weren't hoping to get behind the wheel of the batmobile.
Because just about everything else needs to be unlocked, the first time you boot up Batman: Arkham Asylum, your first port of call will inevitably be the Story mode. Here, you learn that Batman has captured Joker, and as the lengthy intro sequence plays out, you see him being returned to the asylum under Batman's watchful eye. Joker doesn't seem at all perturbed by his predicament, and it quickly becomes apparent that he has deliberately allowed himself to be captured as part of a grand plan that involves taking control of Arkham Island and throwing a party there with Batman as the guest of honor. Clearly it's a trap, but as Batman (and as someone who demands more than two minutes of gameplay before the credits roll), you just can't walk away from it.
As you take the controls, Arkham Asylum wastes no time throwing you into the thick of the action. Almost immediately, you're rushed by a few of Joker's goons and encouraged to knock them out using both basic attacks and counters. Using just two buttons, you can perform a huge number of moves from Batman's superbly animated repertoire, and it isn't at all difficult to string together combos worthy of Hollywood's finest fight coordinators. That's because for the most part, at least early in the game, combat requires you to do little more than mash the attack button and then hit the counter button anytime you notice an enemy with an "I'm about to attack you" icon above his head. None of the thugs that you encounter pose much of a threat individually, but you rarely encounter fewer than three or four of them at once, and often, you'll be up against six or more. Furthermore, the vanilla thugs are joined by enemies with knives, cattle prods, and guns later on, who force you to raise your game and incorporate stun attacks and evasive rolls into your deadly dance routine. Boss battles against supervillains like Scarecrow and Harley Quinn are definitely among the game's highlights, though it's a little disappointing that there aren't more of them. One supervillain in particular makes a number of appearances, but you never actually get to fight him.
The combat in Arkham Asylum never gets overly complicated, though the number of moves and attacks at your disposal increases quite dramatically as you progress through the Story mode, earn experience points, and subsequently spend those points on acquiring new combo moves and gadgets. Throws, takedowns, and even batarang attacks can be incorporated into your combos this way, but you never need to press more than two buttons simultaneously, and the timing of your moves doesn't have to be particularly precise. Fighting against mobs of up to a dozen enemies or so is a blast, and while they're not smart enough to all just jump on you at once, they're not stupid either. Given half a chance, thugs will pull pipes from walls to attack you with, pick up boxes to throw at you, and recover weapons from fallen colleagues. Fortunately, there's one weapon that your foes seem blissfully unaware of but which Batman is incredibly comfortable with: the environment.
Your surroundings don't always have a role to play in combat, but during large set piece encounters (many of which can be replayed against the clock in Challenge mode), using them to your advantage is practically a requirement. Picture this: You walk into a large room where eight gun-carrying enemies have been instructed by Joker to keep an eye out for you. You can't leave the room until every single one of them is unconscious, and going toe-to-toe with them isn't an option because--at least as far as this game is concerned--bullets are Batman's kryptonite. What do you do? Job one is to stay out of sight, which can often be accomplished by crouching atop gargoyles mounted high on the walls that, while an unusual interior design choice, make near-perfect hiding spots from which to survey the scene using your X-ray-like detective vision. From a vantage point like that, you can perform glide kicks to swoop down and floor enemies passing nearby, perform awesome "inverted takedowns" to grab guys as they pass directly beneath you and leave them hanging on ropes for their comrades to see, and throw batarangs that serve a number of useful purposes. Or, if you need to move, you can use your grapnel gun to zip to another location. Just be sure to suspend your disbelief as you do so because you're invisible to the enemy when you're in transit.
Once you've thinned your number of enemies a bit, it's safer for you to move around on the ground, and that's when you can really start to use the environment to your advantage. You can rig explosives to bring walls and ceilings down on top of enemies, crash through windows and ceilings, hide in floor grates and emerge directly behind unsuspecting enemies, and, well, you get the idea. All of these actions can be performed quickly and easily, but that doesn't make them any less satisfying when they work.
The reactions of enemies who know that their colleagues are being picked off one by one adds massively to the feeling that you're playing as a bona fide superhero. As their numbers diminish, enemies become visibly more scared--they start to move around in pairs rather than individually, press up against walls and lean around corners, and ultimately get so panicked that they fire a shot anytime they turn a corner. Listening to their superbly voiced conversations clues you into their state of mind as well. Initially, your enemies will be quite bold, loudly making threats and musing on how famous they're going to be for killing you. But as the odds gradually shift in your favor and Joker taunts them, they exude less and less confidence--ultimately sounding like they're resigned to their fates and might start crying at any moment.

Snow squeaked under my boots as I turned up the Rue Ste.-Anne and into the tangerine glow flowing from the street lamps overhead. The storm that had blown in that afternoon had eased up for the moment, and in the distance I could just make out the sandstone spires of the St.-Michel church still shrouded in fog.
Although Perce — a small coastal community on the far eastern tip of the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec — has a handful of lovely cafes and taverns overlooking the Gulf of St. Lawrence, few places are large enough to hold hundreds of people at once. The church could.
So on that night last February I opened its big, white doors and eased into the warmth of the narthex. I gasped at what lay before me. Some 350 cross-country skiers with rubicund faces from three days of playing outside were packed in the nave that caterers had transformed into a magnificent dining hall. Pews ran perpendicular to the altar, and bread and wine sat on dozens of long wooden tables. Yak sausages and sauerkraut steamed in chafing dishes beneath the gaze of saints who peered down from white walls. A jazz band waited in the pulpit, but for now the air rang with the mournful notes of "Sposa son disprezzata" from a lone soprano in the loft.
This had to be the coolest ski week on Earth.
For the past decade, hundreds of cross-country skiers — nearly all of them from Quebec — have descended once a year on rural communities like Perce as part of a six-day, 100-mile-plus ski odyssey through the eastern pleats of Canada's largest province. The Crossing of the Gaspe Peninsula, or the Traversee de la Gaspesie, as it is known in French, is hardly a race. Rather, it is a roaming celebration of winter. And while the exact route changes every year, the idea is always the same: to come together, have fun and ski.
"It's always fantastic," said Chantal Hivon, a retired treasury employee from Montreal, who was on her fourth crossing since 2006. "It's a demanding week but also recharging. The places you get to go are just incredible."
Sandwiched between the St. Lawrence River and Chaleur Bay, the Gaspe holds some of Quebec's most impressive peaks. The Chic-Chocs soar up to around 4,000 feet and collect more than 20 feet of snowfall a year. Caribou and moose roam the region, which has just 100,000 people spread over an area about the size of 1� Connecticuts.
The first event in 2003 was a true traverse, which meant 50-mile days with little pampering.
"The lucky ones got to sleep under a table," said Sharon Braverman, a simultaneous translator from Montreal who was on that first trip. "You were so exhausted you didn't care."
These days the TDLG offers a softer experience. Instead of traveling point-to-point on skis, participants spend a few days at a time in one spot — a lodge, inn or a local's home — and slip out along trails that volunteers groom just for the event. Come evening, skiers return by bus to the same base for communal meals at any place big enough to hold them all. The group then travels by bus to the next town to explore anew.
As an avid skier in all its forms, I had learned of the crossing while researching ways to combine my twin passions for snow and all things French. The event sounded like one of those cross-state bicycle rides, but on skis. Bands play along the trails. Movie stars cook and entertain. There would be lectures by provincial celebrities like astronaut Julie Payette and pilot Robert Piche, a reformed drug smuggler who once saved 306 lives aboard a malfunctioning Airbus. At the end of each day's ski I could expect a trailside party complete with an accordion player and shots of Caribou, a French Canadian cocktail of wine and booze softened with warm maple syrup.
But most of all, I loved the idea of slipping into Quebec's winter culture, which I imagined as a mashup of New World ruggedness and Old World bonhomie. Skiing would almost be secondary.
Tight quarters
Things kicked off on a gray Saturday when buses rolled into the Gite du Mont-Albert, a lodge deep in Gaspesie National Park, about 450 miles northeast of Montreal — the journey's first hub. We'd spend the next two days exploring the park before moving east to Perce and then north to the coastal town of Gaspe. The route included 110 miles of skiing in less than a week. I'd never done that much in a month.
The party was already under way when I stepped off the bus. The air smelled of spruce, and women in rubber muck boots line-danced in the frozen parking lot. Others waited for ingots of boiled maple syrup to cool in a snow trough and turn to taffy — la tire d'erable — that you eat with a stick. Sylvie Gallant, the accordion player, pumped out polka tunes, her hands clad in baby blue gloves with threadbare fingertips.
Claudine Roy, a gregarious 57-year-old organizer of the event, grabbed a mic and proposed a toast.
"To this beautiful life that unites us all!" she said dramatically, and hundreds of glasses shot into the air.
Eager to settle in, I headed off to my room in an adjacent building, where I found two strangers getting comfortable on one of the beds.
"Uh, hi?" I said. "Is this Room 401?"
"It is!" replied a woman in perfect English. "I'm Kathleen," she said. "This is Roger."
"Is there room for me?" I asked, hopefully.
"Of course!" she said with a laugh. "Come in!"
I knew I'd be sharing a room since beds are limited in a small place like this. I just hadn't quite pictured such an intimate arrangement. But as we chatted over wine and fruitcake, I quickly warmed to the idea. Kathleen Ryan was a teacher. Roger Ladouceur was a doctor. Both were from Montreal and would be my roommates for much of the trip.
Kicking and gliding
The weather had been exceptionally mild for Quebec — low- to mid-20s — and the next day was no different.
"You are lucky!" said Billie Flynn, a test pilot based out of Washington, D.C. "You heard about the boat, right?"
I had. One year skiers used a ship along the St. Lawrence River as a mobile base, but the weather turned so "frette" — Quebecois for colder than cold — that pack ice trapped them for days.
"It was wonderful," recalled Sophie Faucher, a Canadian actress in the film "Laurence Anyways" who hardly skis but comes along to do poetry readings. "The only stress was, is there enough booze?"
There was, and this year, plenty of pancakes, too. I ate a shameful amount of them before heading out to ski below 2,425-foot Mont Ernest-Laforce. I could do the full loop for about 25 miles or a shorter one for 16 miles. I chose the 16.
It had been a while since I had cross-country skied in parallel tracks, the "classic" form of the sport, but it is basically an exaggerated walk. Soon I fell into a kick-glide rhythm and zipped past boughs droopy with new snow. Peaks disappeared into silver clouds. A snowmobiler motored by with a guitarist on the back of his machine.
"Salut, Teem!" a voice greeted me in French.
I had met Berthier Landry briefly on the ride here. He was a 64-year-old civil servant from Montreal with an athletic build. Helene, his outdoorsy daughter and an expert skier, had persuaded him to do the TDLG with her in 2006. The two have been coming back ever since.
"Ski with us!" Berthier said.
I accepted happily, as I would for the rest of the week, figuring our paces might be similar since Helene, in her early 30s and fit, was six months pregnant. I was wrong, but the Landrys waited for me patiently at rest stops and at the tops of most hills, where we'd resume conversations about ski wax and parenting. At last we rounded a bend for an easy 7.5-mile descent back.
By the time I was close enough to hear a polka tune wafting through the woods I could barely stay upright. My skin was beet red and burning from the wind and cold. I had skied farther than I ever had, about 19 miles (Berthier threw in an extra three), and I ached all over. I hobbled back to the room to assess the damage when Kathleen and Roger limped through the door.
"I'm 50, and I'm in pain," Kathleen croaked.
"I'm 60 and feel like a youth!" Roger lied, reaching down for his toes.
I sat on the floor and yelped stretching a tender glute.
The Great White North
Things improved over a dinner of scallops with grapefruit, and soon enough my body adapted.
I felt better skiing on Day 2 toward 3,776-foot Mont Albert but turned back before the top to listen to members of a Montreal folk band, La Fanfare Pourpour, play in a trailside hut. A dance party had broken out. The windows were foggy from the heat of twirling bodies, and sunlight fell through them in gauzy puffs. I tapped my ski boots on the floor, still too sore to dance.
It was a three-hour ride the next day to Perce, where the bus took a right down Rue Annett and stopped, allowing us to ski the final 13 miles into town. I clicked into my rented Fischers and pushed off along a fence separating small farms.
"My path is not a path, it is snow," the separatist Quebec poet Gilles Vigneault crooned in his 1966 song, "Mon Pays." "My country is not a country, it is winter."
Indeed, the Great White North was at its finest.
Before me spread an icy plain of blinding snow — the frozen Gulf of St. Lawrence. The sky had turned a deep blue with wispy fleurs-de-lis for clouds. I stepped onto the ice and picked up the pace, thrilled to be gliding off the edge of a continent.
"Merci la vie!" shouted a woman, hoisting her poles high.
I found the Landrys about an hour later near a rest stop where volunteers had a bonfire going and were serving hot rum with maple syrup. A tray of smoked mackerel canapes floated by; I ate five of them without removing my poles.
Perce came into view once we crested a hill and began our descent. The town clung to a small cape and looked like a model railroad set without the tiny trains. Perce Rock, a massive sea stack with a six-story-high arch, loomed off shore. Samuel de Champlain named it "pierced rock" when he sailed into the region in 1607, one year before he founded Quebec City as the capital of New France.
'Vive la Gaspesie!'
I found my way to a blue and white house near the St.-Michel church, where we'd soon have the operatic dinner. A 67-year-old retired art teacher with red-frame glasses named Jeannette Myles answered the door.
"Entrez! Entrez!" she said, showing me to her living room. A piano sat in the corner and a painting of a cellist hung on the knotty pine walls. Jeannette had volunteered to host a few skiers since almost everything is closed in Perce during the winter. Roger and Kathleen were already there. My room had cheery blue walls and views of the rock.
"I think I'm going to take tomorrow off," Kathleen said, but by the time we all went to bed she'd convinced herself that Day 4 wouldn't be so bad, which it wasn't — 12 miles mostly down to the tiny town of St.-Isidore.
There locals opened their church and stuffed it with table after table of desserts: pudding chomeur, sucre a la creme and every imaginable tarte. Once again musicians arrived and a dance party erupted. When I wobbled across the finish line with the last of the sugar-bombed stragglers, dozens of schoolchildren cheered, rang cowbells and held up signs saying "Vive la Gaspesie!"
I felt like a winner.
Gathering storm
The weather deteriorated over the last few days, which made the going tough. More worrisome, Day 5 was to be the most demanding one: a 28-mile grind with some punishing climbs. Kathleen got her day off, while Roger and I left Jeannette's with bellies full of coffee, cinnamon-apple crepes and ham, and a plan to do our best.
In the interests of being fast, I had decided to change the wax on my skis for better glide. But waxes work only with certain temperatures and snow conditions, both of which fluctuated wildly throughout the day. Soon I had anvils of snow frozen to the bottoms of my skis. Each foot weighed tenfold and afforded zero glide.
"Do you have a thermometer?" Berthier pleaded when I found him about eight miles in, struggling with the same glop.
I didn't. He guessed the temperature and helped me change waxes again. At least I could glide on the downhills.
I had wasted so much time that I grew anxious about completing the route before nightfall. The organizers had set up a checkpoint with a 3 p.m. cutoff time to do the whole loop. Miss it and we'd be diverted to a bus to take us to Gaspe, our third and final hub. Berthier and I skied in silence as the storm gathered. Fat, wet flakes stuck to my glasses and melted down my neck. One minute I was freezing, the next, roasting. With no goggles I was so blinded by the snow at times that I could only look at my feet as I shuffled along.
On and on we skied, making pit stops to slug chicken broth and fistfuls of nuts, but never pausing for long. I was too wet, too tired, too miserable to stop moving, fearing I'd never start again. Three o'clock came and went, and we were miles from the checkpoint. I was secretly relieved as I headed for the bus.
Conditions calmed the lower we went, as the trees swaddled the trail, creating a pocket of solace. A creek burbled under a bridge and by muffins of snow piled on rocks. Berthier stopped to take it in. Others did too. Roger, whom I hadn't seen for hours, came gliding up, just as a pink streak opened overhead. Standing there on the trail, I realized this is what you come for. The great food, the church parties, even the accordion and the shots: all of it was really just candy on a stick. Here I could feel my companions' visceral love for a place so ruled by winter that the land and the cold are inseparable. As a skier you can glide through the best of both.
Tomorrow we'd head to Gaspe, a town of 15,000 where Jacques Cartier staked a claim for France in 1534. We'd ski along the rocky spit of Forillon National Park and then line up to slide right through downtown between columns of drummers and hundreds of locals welcoming us. Kathleen and Roger would get their own hotel room, which, after five days of sharing space, left me a little lonely. We'd end at another church, where there'd be an oyster bar under a Jesus sculpture and a 27-piece band doing Elvis and Ricky Martin covers.
For now, I lingered just a little longer, gazing at spindly birch limbs covered with snow so confectioner-fine that they reminded me of dessert. One by one my new friends cast off down the trail and into the fog. I sped off after them on limbs that no longer seemed to ache.

A remake of "Godzilla" has spawned a lawsuit by producers against Legendary Pictures. (Toho Co.) |
"Godzilla" is not scheduled to set foot in the U.S. for another two years, but things are already getting ugly.
Legendary Pictures, the film finance and production company behind "Inception" and "The Hangover," has been sued by a trio of prominent producers for "tens of millions of dollars" in a dispute over a planned remake of the Japanese monster classic.
Dan Lin and Roy Lee, along with Lee's partner Doug Davison, filed a lawsuit against Legendary on Thursday after they were removed from the project earlier this month. The complaint filed in California Superior Court in Los Angeles claims that they were paid only $25,000 after bringing the "Godzilla" project to Legendary after being promised a much more lucrative deal for their ongoing services.
In a filing last week seeking that the dispute be sent to arbitration, Burbank-based Legendary said the trio "offered little to the ongoing production of the film." The company decided to remove them, paying only a small "development fee."
The lawsuit also names Legendary President Jon Jashni as a defendant, accusing him of fraud for his role in the 2010 oral agreement, including an email to Lee and Lin in which he allegedly wrote that if the duo secured the "Godzilla" rights for Legendary, "You know you and your partners will be well treated throughout."
Instead, the complaint alleges, "Whether out of greed or to show some sort of creative dominance over cross-complainants or merely due to the whim of Legendary's CEO Thomas Tull, Legendary decided to turn its promise that Lin, Lee and Davison would be 'well treated throughout' on its head."
Lin is a former Warner Bros. executive whose producing credits include "Sherlock Holmes" and "Gangster Squad." Lee and Davison are known for remaking popular Asian movies and have worked on "The Ring," "The Grudge" and "The Departed."
Founded by Tull in 2005, Legendary has been a co-financing partner for Warner Bros. on such hits as the "Dark Knight" trilogy and "The Town." This year it is starting to produce and finance its own movies, including the upcoming Jackie Robinson biographical movie "42" and the big-budget action film "Pacific Rim." Its highest-profile project in the works for 2014 is "Godzilla."
At the center of the legal battle is a disagreement over what contract governs the producers' work. In their complaint, Lin, Lee and Davison say they reached an oral agreement with Legendary that would pay them $1.3 million or 3% of the film's gross receipts -- whichever was higher -- along with the $25,000 development fee. They were also to have the right to produce any sequels.
Legendary says in its complaint that the relevant agreement is a written one that its lawyers provided to the producers in 2011. That contract allows the company to remove the trio from "Godzilla" before production began with no payment beyond the development fee.
Although Lin, Lee, and Davison never signed the contract, Legendary says it is enforceable because they never objected and continued work for more than a year after it was submitted.
The written contract stipulates that any dispute would be resolved in arbitration instead of court.
It is not unusual in Hollywood for producers to be paid to exit projects. But such moves rarely turn into public fights.
The lawsuit could prove embarrassing for Legendary at a time when it is attempting to step out from a reputation as Warner Bros.' partner and become known as a creative force of its own in Hollywood.
A spokeswoman for Legendary declined to comment.

How to Identify the Symptoms of Juvenile Diabetes in your Child
Juvenile Diabetes (Type 1 diabetes) currently affects over 3 million people in the United States alone. This life threatening disease can manifest very rapidly with symptoms showing within days. It occurs when the body's immune system attacks the insulin producing cells of pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body to process sugar in the foods we eat. Without it, the sugar accumulates in the blood and will eventually begin to damage vital organs in the body. If left untreated, high levels of sugar in the blood can lead to a coma and even death.
Here are some tips you should be aware of when dealing with Juvenile Diabetes.
- As your child's blood sugar level rises too high the symptoms of juvenile diabetes begin. They might include increased thirst and urination, blurred vision, weight loss, fatigue, flu like symptoms, and confusion. Do not mistake symptoms you observe with those of other ailments. It can be hard to identify juvenile diabetes symptoms, as they may not appear all at once. The most common indicators are excessive thirst and frequent urination but there are others that may occur which parents often overlook because of lack of information.
- Look for severe changes in your child's behavior such as increased aggression or mood swings. This is due to the increased levels of sugar in their blood.
- Due to the lack of insulin the body will start using fat that is stored in the organs in order to get energy. You will notice that your child may loose weight even though they are eating very well. Hunger may persist even though they've been eating large amounts of food.
- Consult your child's pediatrician who should then do a few simple tests to determine the levels of sugar in your child's blood to confirm the diagnosis.

CHARLOTTE -- A proposal would allow more guns in North Carolina schools. A bill introduced in the state Senate Thursday would allow some public schools employees to possess guns on campus.
It's called the Public School Protection Bill. It's sponsored by Sen. Stan Bingham, a Davidson County Republican.
The measure would create "school safety marshals," who are certified through the state's criminal justice, education and training standards commission. The training would include the use of firearms, focusing on their use in a crisis situation that may involve unarmed bystanders.
Bingham says this could help faculty members defend their students during emergencies, like a school shooting.
"We think we hear of the last and then a week later there's another shooting or incident, and so I wanted to be a step ahead of and be prepared and have some training," said Bingham.
Even if the law is passed, Bingham said it will not be mandatory. It will be up to the individual school districts.
