1 Peter 2:1-12
2:1 So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. 2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation- 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. 4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture:
''Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.''
7 So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, ''The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,'' 8 and ''A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.''
They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 11 Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. 12 Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.
So Paige and I closed on our house on Friday in Covington. Huge day for the Dees family, we no longer own a house in Georgia and we are ready to buy a house here in Alabama. But one of the things that we are going to miss about Covington and especially about our little house there was our neighborhood, there were only. And it is fun living in a neighborhoo ...

"Robot Chicken" creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich are channeling their inner geeks with "Robot Chicken: Star Wars", a special for Adult Swim.
The 30-minute stop-motion animation special, directed by Green, spoofs key scenes and favorite characters from the "Star Wars" universe, including the sci-fi saga's creator, George Lucas. It was done in collaboration with Lucasfilm, and Lucas is on board to voice the animated version of himself.
Additionally, "Robot Chicken: Star Wars" will feature Mark Hamill as the voice of Luke Skywalker in one sketch and a voice cast that includes Conan O'Brien, Seth MacFarlane, Robert Smigel, Malcolm McDowell, Hulk Hogan, James Van Der Beek, Donald Faison, Abraham Benrubi, Breckin Meyer and Joey Fatone.
The special, from Green and Senreich's Stoopid Monkey Prods. and Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico's ShadowMachine Films, will premiere at 10 p.m. June 17 on Adult Swim, kicking off a best-of "Robot Chicken" marathon that will feature reruns of the "Star Wars" special at the top of every hour.
The special stems from three "Star Wars" skits on "Robot Chicken", including the popular "Emperor's Phone Call", featuring Darth Vader calling Emperor Palpatine to tell him that the Death Star has been blown up. »

Normally we would be speculating about an early election by now, but there's no such luck with the coalition's five-year deal

Michael White's sketch: Lib Dem deputy prime minister should have been celebrating turning 47 – but instead he had to suffer in the Commons
MPs have a nose for ministers on the rise – and in her second outing the economic secretary gave a combative performance
Badgered Owen Paterson regales House of Commons with entertaining but inaccurate picture of the 50s, 60s and 70s
Michael White's sketch: Union jibes are the Tory get-out-of-jail tactic for 2015, so well done the PM for managing to drag Len McCluskey into Sri Lanka
Michael White: Over the summer both party leaders had clearly spent some swimming pool time thinking up wounding jokes

Michael White: Not content with giving the hungry hacks a festive (free) mince pie each, Gordon Brown turned up for his monthly Downing Street press conference with a surprise - his very own Strictly Come Dancing partner, Alistair Darling
Michael White: Gordon Brown stepped boldly into the controversies over street crime, sectarianism and gang violence yesterday. But the way the prime minister told it, most of the real aggro has been going on inside the Conservative party.
Michael White's sketch: The Speaker of the Commons, Michael Martin, was "as well as can be expected" last night after being exposed to the six-letter euphemism "effing" during Treasury questions. In his sheltered youth, Mr Martin was an engineering shop steward in Glasgow, European City of Culture. He is not accustomed to this sort of language.
Michael White: Tony Blair is accused of failing to support the social revolution in Venezuela.
Michael White: What does Gordon Brown know that the rest of us don't? Yesterday the chancellor was in a good mood (again) at prime minister's question time, despite the obvious injustice of him not being prime minister for the ninth successive February 8.
Michael White's sketch: Edward Leigh is a Thatcherite ex-minister with a bright red face and matching blue views. Tall and blond, he could easily have been typecast in one of those 1950s war movies, dressed in the sinister uniform of a future EU ally and sneering: "For you Englander, the war is over."

Exeter kept it tight against the elements andled just 5-0 for almost all the first half, courtesy of a try from fullback James Holman. Then, in the last minute of the half, inside centreStuart Tomlin scored from 60 metres out and Dean Chisling converted to makeit a satisfying 12-0 at the break.
Flanker Sam Cooper went over for a thirdtry, winger Celechi Oduozo for the fourth and outside centre Chislingconverted to complete an excellent victory over very competent opposition.
Exeter are enjoying a wonderful season, having lost just once in 13 gameswhich was to Ivybridge. They have been led superbly by prop Martin Tribeand No 8 Ollie Leach has made it through to the South West Clubs squad, thefirst player from the College to earn such representative honours forseveral seasons.
Sooner or later come the big boys and Exeter face theirtoughest game of the season next Wednesday in the sixth round at StPeter's, Gloucester, who have hardly been troubled in reaching the last 16again.
Clifton would have given them a test but pulled out because ofacademic pressures and Pate's were dumped out 36-5 in the fifth round.
It'sa big week for coaches Hill and Brown. Exeter Chiefs face National LeagueDivision One leaders Worcester on Saturday, then they take the College toSt Peter's before facing Leicester Tigers in the National Cup.

By law, no. Their policy may differ.
I need some shotgun ammo for deer season and i was going to go to Dick's sporting good store, do i need a license for shot gun or can i just go in and buy some without any kind of license? thank you.
By law, no. Their policy may differ.
dicks yes,,, its a store policy,,,, but anywhere else .410 shells yes too cause it can be used in a handgun,,
Silent souls make .308 holes
if by license you mean hunting license no it has nothing to do with it.
Do you have your FID card? If you do bring it just in case, these stores try and make their own policies which is why I dont buy ammo there.
Just Baught 00 Buck at Ramsey outdoor supply in Ledgewood without FID.. No law against it
You will only need a license if you are driving there!
never asked for FID at Dicks for Shotgun shells
I haven't been asked for an Id yet when buying ammo. Usually buy at dicks Ramsey and local sport shop. Even bought rifle ammo at dicks and they didn't ask
Did you buy any slugs. that's usually when they ask in NJ.
No matter what happens, whether you succeed or not, if you stand up and do it right and pay attention, hunting will always give you what you need. It may not be what you were looking for, but it will absolutely be important enough to justify whatever you did to get it.â

Shia and Sunni Muslims to Meet Each Other in a Love Embrace
As a non-muslim European who is getting fed up with watching all these people kill each other every day (1), I would like to make some kind of contribution to create something different. I have lost my faith in the kind of facebook-internet-activism in which you click or shout out against something in a comment. Like Icke eloquently said during a recent meeting in London (2), it's time to do more than just spread your anger or fear, it's time to look for different approaches and think beyond many current dichotomies (3).
In Creating a Personal Dance with the News (4) I have argued for the importance of your own subjective and personal involvement in dealing with topics like violence, free-floating spiritualism, war, greed, media-manipulation, corporatism and fanatical anti-imperialism and anarchy. Instead of blaming others, it might be a good time to look within and tune into your own feelings, biases, and unresolved issues. Imagine the influence it may have if you are able to watch and read disturbing articles with a deep, kind breath and a heart that occasionally radiates a comfortable sense of joy (5)? Now, wouldn't that upset the powers that be, isn't a threatening way to get off your knees?
When people are confronted with poverty and violence at an early age, combined with a lack of 'neutral' education, they become an easy prey for those who want to use these people for their own agenda. I refered to an awful video above (1) about FSA-members killing off Syrian men in a merciless manner. It is tempting to react with anger and disgust and call these bearded FSA-men the lowest scum of the planet. But does that really help the situation? Wouldn't it be worthwhile to try and dig a bit deeper and see why these men have become such a bunch of ruthless killers?
One aspect that resurfaces occasionally is that some of these 'Syrian/foreign' Brigades are dedicated to killing off the Alawites, which is a group belonging to the Shia-Islam-branch. A rather awkward Sheikh living near Homs has given his 'loving' message about chopping up all the Alawites and feeding them to the dogs (6).
Although these extremes occur, they luckily are on a world-wide scale the exception to the rule. The differences between Shi'a and Sunni Muslims however are a world-wide phenomenon and they appear as all kinds of thoughts, biases and feelings in the people belonging to either of these two branches of Islam, where about 85% of the world muslim population is Sunni, and some 10-15% is Shi'a.
Although there are a number of differences between the Shi'a and the Sunni Muslims, the similarities are striking. They both use the Qur'an as the basis for their faith, they have many rituals in common, they have the Hadjj to Mecca. In a Channel 4 documentary (7) we can hear the following words:
"Diversity of tongues and skins is in the words of the Qur'an are amongst the wonders of God's creation. Allah has no preference for any race, tribe or nation above another and is no respector of human ideas of class and status."
I could spend some time in this article on the differences, but I prefer to name only a few. The first difference arose some 1400 years back in the past, after the death of the prophet Mohammed in the year 632. Who would be his successor? There were some people who thought that the one who had the most knowledge about teh emerging religion of Islam, the best scholar, would be the one to spread the religion. There were some who thought differently and claimed that there should be some kind of family link with the prophet. The first group turned into the Sunnis, and the latter group turned out to become the Shi'a.
The Shi'a also seem to have a more mythical approach to Islam, believing that there are people who are 'infallable', in the sense that they have a direct communication with the divine (or with the 12th Imam, see (8)). This idea is not accepted by the Sunni-muslims.
At school I was taught about the principle of 'Birth Place Relativity' (9), which refers to a simple idea, namely that the faith you will believe in, is for most of the people in the world determined by the place where they are born. If you are born in Iran, chances are that you will become a staunch follower of the Shi'a branch of Islam, perhaps even performing the bloody Ashura-ritual to commemerate Imam Hoessein. If you are however born in Morrocco or Indonesia you will likely incorporate the idea of Sunni-Islam and think that it really is the truth and that it is a part of your true being.
If you are born in China, India or in South-America your perspective on the world will most likely be the same as the people with whom you grow up as well. In Europe you are more likely to grow up, believing in 'science' as a kind of faith, or some weak form of Christianity. When born in Tel Aviv, you are likely to embrace Judaism.
What I am trying to point out here is the relativity of the faith you have in your life. In most of the cases it simply depends on where you were born, or what your family believes in. Seen from a wider perspective, there seems to be no need to make such a fuss about it.
I copied some 8 seconds from Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild in this 'new' video below as an easy reminder of what we might try to focus on. I just hope that we will learn to see that it feels a lot better to be friendly and kind to each other, instead of fighting each other, either through guns and RPG's, or through words, because you believe that your own faith is better than the faith of someone else.
Why not try and embrace each other and have some fun, instead of all this waste of emotional energy about whose religion is the best, based on a conflict some 1400 years ago or some interpretation of the Qur'an? Isn't it time to move on and realize that loving each other is more honorable than hating and speaking lowly of each other? Perhaps this approach is the best way to end the rule of those who manipulate us. If we can unite there is no one who can stop us.
(1) Today another terrible video appeared in which dozens of people in Syria were piled onto each other, to be ruthlessly murdered a few moments later. A lot of Allahu-akhbars and dead people http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9T1VN_x5gE. How can people become so cruel and shout the name of their God while killing others?

Opening overseas on October 7th, Pål Sletaune's Babycall stars The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo's Noomi Rapace Kristoffer Joner and Vetle Qvenild Werring.
Babycall follows Anna (Rapace) and her eight-year-old son, Anders, who are under the witness protection program following a difficult relationship with Anders' father. They move into a large apartment complex. Anna becomes overprotective of her son and even buys a babycall to keep track of him. Soon, strange noises from other apartments appear on the monitor, and Anna overhears what might be the murder of a child. Meanwhile, Anders' mysterious new friend starts visiting at odd hours, claiming that he has keys for all the doors in the building … Does this new friend know anything about the murder? And why is Anders' drawing stained with blood? Is Anna's son still in danger?

They will start the latest round of public consultation - after a succession of proposals failed - before making London's biggest non-Olympic planning application in July.
The new scheme aims to restore the Grade II-listed structure and make it the centrepiece of a £4billion riverside development. Site owner Treasury Holdings warns that if the plan is thrown out, the 76-year-old power station is almost certainly doomed.
Treasury Holdings has put forward a low-rise version of a previous plan that included a 250-metre glass tower. That was blocked by Mayor Boris Johnson amid fears it would ruin London's protected skyline. Before that, a 300-metre tower had already been rejected.
Mr Johnson has seen the latest plan, which has no building higher than 67 metres and would not be visible from behind the Palace of Westminster, a requirement of the GLA.
The rethink means the Irish-backed developers are unable to make the project carbon-neutral - the tower would have acted as a huge chimney, sucking breezes through buildings encased in a glass dome so there would be no need for air conditioning.
Uruguayan architect Rafael Vinoly's replacement design sees the power station's interior turned into 650,000 square feet of offices and a 2,000-seat conference centre with apartments built on the roof. Curving blocks of buildings inspired by London's Nash terraces will provide further office, retail, residential and hotel space as well as amenities such as a hospital.
The plan also includes a 1.75-mile extension of the Northern line from Kennington to a Battersea Power Station stop at a cost of £460million. Rob Tincknell, managing director of Treasury Holdings, which bought the power station two years ago, said £20million had already been spent on preparing the planning bid and shoring up the crumbling brick structure.
He hopes the chimneys, thought to have been beyond repair, may be saved. The previous plan saw them being replaced by replicas. He said: "If this scheme does not make it, there is no power station. If you look back in history there has been disaster after disaster, rubbish scheme after rubbish scheme. We have designed, consulted and are about to put in a planning application. The project is in the hands of developers who know what they are doing."
Construction is planned for 2011 and would be completed by 2020.

Just looking for some advice from you guys on what you usually say/do if you put your hard work into a design that looks amazing and the client wants something implemented that throws everything off. This has got to get on everybody's nerves! lol
Just replied to one in a similar case. I've heard that if you don't want to assist perhaps you are busy or you may have a personal problem, or he just screwed things up and wants you to fix, just tell your customer a high hourly rate for custom work and with a polite manner and he will be totally relaxed. Instantly.
Ask him to start over again

The Transit of Venus happens this morning, starting at 8am AEST. It's probably fairly safe to say that every person on the planet alive today will either be too young to remember this transit when they observe the next one in 2117, or will simply not be here. So, make the most of it!
One way to do that is to listen to the special programme of planets/Venus-themed music Ivan has chosen for you, as you view the Transit in a safe way. Check here for advice about how to do that, watch a video of the Transit and read historical stuff.
And ringing in the Transit, a little after the weather at 8.30am, the Sydney Bell Ringers have come in with their instruments. Unfortunately the lifts here at the ABC didn't stretch to lifting their five million tonnes of church bells, so they brought in their lovely light hand bells instead. Ding ding.

The Spears School Mentoring Program provides an opportunity for alumni and friends to interact with Spears Business graduate and undergraduate students (protégés). Protégés develop professionally from the mentors' skills, support, experience and coaching.
The mentoring program runs concurrently with the spring and fall semesters.
Each semester, one reception will be held on campus to allow face-to-face communication between mentors and protégés. Other program communication is anticipated to be largely by phone or email. Mentors and protégés should communicate at least bi-weekly during the four month mentoring connection.
The program is not intended to be a job-hunting or recruiting vehicle. This program will provide protégés with an opportunity to network and gain insight that may impact their career and future. It gives mentors the opportunity to give back to the Spears School of Business and Oklahoma State University.
Who is eligible?
Protégés: Spears School of Business undergraduate students classified as a sophomore, junior, or senior and all Spears School of Business graduate students.
Expectations of Protégés
- Communicate with your mentor bi-weekly via e-mail, phone, or face-to-face meetings.
- Initiate communication with your mentor within 48 hours of the connection notification.
- Read the Spears School Mentoring Program Handbook and use these tips to prepare for each call/meeting you have with your mentor.
- Attend the mentoring reception hosted on campus each semester.
- Commit the time needed to make this a successful relationship.
- Participate in the end-of-semester program survey.
Mentors: Professionals who are alumni or friends of the Spears School of Business or Oklahoma State University that are committed to participating in the professional development of our students.
Expectations of Mentors
- Commit the time needed to give the protégé access to you in order to advise them and assist with reaching their established goals for the mentoring relationship. This could include providing career advice, enhancing professionalism, and offering guidance regarding transition from academia to the business environment.
- Communicate with your protégé bi-weekly via e-mail, phone, or face-to-face meetings.
- Read the Spears School Mentoring Program Handbook and use these tips to prepare for each call/meeting with your protégé.
- Attend the mentoring reception hosted on campus each semester.
- Participate in the end-of-semester program survey.
The Mentor – Protégé Connection
- Mentors and protégés will be required to complete a brief personal profile. Matches will be made based on the answers to the profile questions.
- We will make every attempt to connect all registered mentors and protégés each semester, but based on capacity, there may be a semester when you are not connected with a mentor/protégé.
- The mentor connection is made during the first two weeks of the spring and fall semester each year. Both the mentor and protégé will receive an email notification from Chronus with their connection information.
- The protégé is required to contact their assigned mentor within 48 hours of receiving their match notification in order to introduce themselves and schedule their first phone call.
- The mentor/protégé connections run concurrently with the spring and fall semesters (approximately four months per semester). Some mentors and protégés may choose to participate in sequential semesters. The decision to remain with a currently assigned mentor or protégé – or to be assigned to a new one for the next semester – is left to the discretion of the mentor and protégé.
- Participant feedback is welcome and encouraged. A formal survey will be sent at the end of the semester for feedback, but feel free to contact the program manager, Brandy Polo at any time to provide feedback about the program.
- Chronus Mentoring Software has been implemented to facilitate mentoring connections. If you are interested in being a part of the mentoring program as a mentor or protégé (student), join and complete your profile.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX to open low as firm oil threatens growth
Feb 27 (Reuters) - Canada's resource heavy index looked set to open lower on Monday, as recent high oil prices added to worries about company earnings and global growth. G20 ministers asked Europe to commit more money to fight the debt crisis before seeking their help.
* Canadian equity futures pointed to a lower open.
* US stock index futures pointed to a lower open, with futures for the S&P 500, the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq 100 falling 0.1 to 0.5 percent.
* European shares fell as investors worried about high oil prices hurting company earnings and global growth.
* The Thomson Reuters-Jefferies CRB index, a global commodities benchmark, fell 0.27 percent in early trade.
* Oil fell more than $1, taking North Sea Brent below $124 per barrel, after a week of gains pushed oil to 10-month highs on worries over disruptions to Middle East oil supplies.
* Gold prices fell 1 percent, in line with the euro, stocks and other commodities, as worries over the euro zone debt crisis and the impact of high crude oil prices on economies fuelled risk aversion. Continued...

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The location in the middle of the vineyards is fantastic, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food is good and the wine list has a good selection of producers from the immediately surrounding area.
Like most French hotels regret no tea-making facilities.
great food but no vegetarian choice. small and uncomfortable double bed.
Beautifully situated
very good restaurant, attractive location
The building was a very attractive one that made us want to step in and stay. The rooms were clean and well kept. The doors are closed by midnight and if a guest shows up after midnight even with fully pre-paid reservation, there is no way to enter the hotel. We had to spend the night in our car in the car park despite a fully paid reservation since we showed up too late!!! When we did make it to the room at 0630 hrs the next morning, we found the bed to be rather small.
Setting, great view and balcony
overdue luggage arrived 4 days late and we were not called when it arrived...probably just a language problem with French staff & English only guests
The hotel was nice and comfy. Perhaps some rooms a little bit outdated, but this was overcomed by cleanliness. The free parking lot and the location is what made up our desicion to stay. Despite that we had the updated version on our the navigator, it did not recognize the address that is provided by the hotel or maybe by booking.com (to our surprise neither did google). The very same address with the very same ZIP also applies to the city Colmar (thats what google says). So basically we started our trip to hotel without knowing hotels exact position. As recommendation to the others if your navigator does not recognize the address, use the map on booking.com site in order to find the hotel.
Excellent breakfast (European style) Elevator is a bit slow and noisy
die Freundlichkeit der Wirtsleute - wir hatten die Möglichkeit, eines der frisch restaurierten Zimmer (neues Badezimmer!) zu bekommen, zwar etwas teurer, aber das war es wert. Wir werden wiederkommen. es hat uns alles gefallen
Very friendly staff. Excellent food and service at the restaurant. Family-friendly (travelling with very young children). Rooms spacious and clean. Hotel charged some extra costs, for example for the baby cot although stated free in booking.com's description. Rooms should be smoke free!
The wonderful friendly staff and the excellent food. The room we ended up with didn't have a proper shower BUT it DID have a balcony.which was the most important criteria for us.
Good food and hospitality.
The little playground was great for the kids. I thought the location was very relaxing. It was everything I expected it to be.
Pleasant welcoming atmosphere, good food.
The pricing of the food was a joke! Miserable qulatity priced way too high!
Friendly staff, good location for walking tours. We haven't slept because of a loud humming noise. Apparently, one of the refrigerators was broken, and the temporary replacement compressor unit kept us up all night. We did not get any sleep, the bed was really tiny as well. In fairness, when we complained about this noise, they apologised, and offered us 1 free breakfast.
Nice reception, good selection in restaurant, lovely pool, great sauna. Squeaky floor boards and thin walls!!!!
The environment, the service and the pleasant atmosphere
The staff was great, willing to help. The jacuzzi and swimming-pool were clean and quiet. The surroundings look amazing (there´s a forest).
Reception staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel is in a fantastic location We were allocated a very very small room for 5 nights. We were moved to a bigger room on request. The staff in the restaurant were not very welcoming and service was very slow. The water in the pool and spa was cold
Calm and pleasant atmosphere. Excellent restaurant.
Location. Availability of facilities. Cleanliness. Hotel is attempting to be chic and trendy but will not succeed. Staff sometimes pretentious. Service variable. Food OK but not great. Penny-pinching efforts evident. Air conditioning sporadic and requires asking at Reception.
The service of the personel
The room, the environment The breakfast was not well prepared, there was no bread left !!!!
Great large family room. Everything has been newly renovated and was immaculately clean. Lovely pool/spa area.
the free wifi, free swimmingpool, view and forest around. Throuhg booking.com very good value for money. staff was not very open, most only spoke french. missing a simple day menu in the restaurant.
The hotel is in a very pleasant setting with modern and comfortable bedrooms. The food in the restaurant was excellent. Although everything worked, the quality of the bathroom fittings didn't match that of the rest of the room.
Room is okay, but bathroom needs update!
The hotel was very comfortable and was decorated with good taste. Our visit was very relaxing, and the staff was patient and helpful. Breakfast was nice too. I would definitely stay again. Would be nice to have shampoo and soap for the guests.
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff are very friendly and speak very good English. Our room was very well appointed and comfortable. The local village centre of Barr is beautiful and only a few minutes walk from the Hotel. The only negative point was that there was a wedding at the hotel during our stay and it was noisy until about 3am !
perfect location near Obernai ,Colmar ,Strasbourg & and the "Route des vins". Boutique hotel with excellent service . No aircondition in rooms
Spacy and well-decorated room, good location (Barr really is a picturesque village, well situated on the wine route in the Alsace). The swimming pool is very nice as well.
Both the evening meal and the breakfast were exceptionally good. The food was excellent and the service good. The drinks were a little expensive at the bar, but the wine list offered a good selection of nice wines at a reasonable price. Our room (in the annex outside) was a bit dated, slightly musty, and ours smelled doggy. Pets were allowed, and the last canine occupant in our room had left a slight 'Essence du chien' in the bathroom. Either that or it was a little damp.
I found the hotel staff to be extremely friendly. The taxi service provided into Bruges was a great help and the food was fantastic
Quality services, wonderful staff.
It was one of the best hotel I have ever visit. Beautiful old mill refurnished and redecorated to great attention and care. Free parking, magnificent rural Alsacienne view from the window. Each room has a name and decorated in different themes. Everything is clean, new. Breakfast is not included, it costed us 11 Euros per person, but I totally recommend it. There is no big choice, but everything is extremely fresh and delicious. It is the best hotel to visit Alsace famous wine route. There is also free Wifi. Best time to visit is September. Very romantic! no big choice of TV channels. no elevator, steps are wide and nice.
A wonderful peaceful village with great walks and near lovely towns. Very quiet and with a lovely breakfast. The toilet facilities were cramped but was in the middle of a refit.
Excellent service and food
Staff was very pleasant. Breakfast was great and great value for France.
Nice countryside hotel, helpful staff. The 'Pressoir de Bacchus'-restaurant in the same street serves excellent food at a very reasonable price! Apart from the availability of a bath, rather peculiar concept of 'superior room'... Unlike the 'standard-room': not two beds but a rather small two-person-bed, no flatscreen-tv but a rather small conventional one, and no Eurosport-channel available on our tv. Again, all this in contrast to the 'standard-rooms' of our fellow-travellers...
convenience, friendly, and very nice. Breakfast was very good!!!
it was situated in a beautiful small village, charming!
We enjoyed this hotel very much, it is located in a very small pretty village. Breakfast was good and it was a good overnight stay.
The hotel was wonderful, clean and very attractive. Our room with a balcony lovely. The owners and staff very friendly. We would thoroughly recommend it.
Very clean rooms, helpful staff. None
charming hotel, good quality, definitely value of money
This is a lovely place and fantastic value. Room very nice and well appointed and comfortable. Really charming. Breakfast really nicely presented. Sweet little town. I would really recommend a stop here.
Beautiful village surroundings. Hotel very well maintained with beautiful decor. No restaurant facilities. Nearest restaurant 6km away albeit in another beautiful village.
The hotel was amazing. Loved everthing about it. You will not be dissapointed. The town was an absolute gem.
Staff was great! stairs
We loved this place! Neat, well renovated ancient house with the best beds We´ve slept in for a long time! Caroline, the manager is a superfriendly and intellegent woman who will make your stay memorable. Go there!
Very friendly staff, speaking excellent English. It is a quaint, old house offering a lot of atmosphere. The hotel is right next to the church and it is a little like sleeping in the belfry - and the clock chimes every quarter.
Nice and spacious room in calm environment except for the curch bells whice were informing us about the time every 15 minutes.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Moultrie or Marion? Pickwick or Wilson? The Detroit River, Lake St. Clair or Lake Erie?
For anglers this week, the choice is Lake Murray's southern end or the northern end. Those who struggled on Day One of the Evan Williams Bourbon Carolina Clash might have picked the wrong Lake Murray to take on. Though they're connected, Murray's southern end fishes worlds different than the upper end and into the river.
Alton Jones has enjoyed past success on Murray, both in the lake and in the river. The fishing in the upper end fishes more like a normal lake, he says.
"In the main lake, the bass are more like stripers," he said. "They chase the blueback herring around and don't really relate to cover and structure like the fish in the river do. The fish up north are like regular bass."
Jones went into Day One expecting to bring 20 pounds or so to the scales, but wound up with 5 and change. It was like the lake he practiced on had been pulled out from under his boat. A weather front had the fish sluggish early this morning and anglers struggling all day.
However, Jami Fralick also fished the main lake and caught a tournament-leading 17-9. What was the difference?
Ryan McMurtury of Abbeville, S.C., qualified for the 2011 Bassmaster Classic via the Weekend Series. He's fished Lake Murray for nearly 20 years, and has won numerous tournaments on the lake. He reasons that Fralick was better able to capitalize on the early bite, leaving him most of the day to try and cull.
"Mostly in the lake -- especially during the herring spawn -- you've got a topwater bite going on as the fish chase the herring. Then in the river, it fishes like you'd expect a river to," he said. "It's got dirty water, and the fish relate to the shallow water that's in it."
In his experience, he's found that larger female bass are up the river, while smaller, more active bass are caught in Murray proper. McMurtury is placing his money on the river being more consistent and producing bigger and more fish.
"When the plankton bloom in the spring, the herring start spawning in mid- to late-April, and that lasts for three or four weeks, then the herring go deep and the stripers chase 'em," he said. "Most of the postspawn fish will start relating to the bluegill spawn, which is around willow trees in the river system. When you find those bream beads, you can get big largemouth .A 7-pounder isn't going to chase a bunch of herring around all day long. It'd rather wait up under a log."
McMurtury was expecting nearly 80 pounds to win the Carolina Clash. While the weights aren't quite on track for that to happen, he still believes there are big stringers to be had from both Murray and the river.
"The key to getting the herring bite working is early in the morning, with some cloud cover and a bit of wind. That's when they'll eat a topwater good," he said. "But, I've seen a lot of people who are on a topwater bite have it quit because a front blows through which shuts the herring down."
That's the story that Alton and much of the field had today. But, the key to making the river work is finding and fishing current and stained water. Rick Clunn practiced in the river and currently sits in third place.
"The big key to lakes in South Carolina is when the water hits 80 degrees," he said. "It's like they get supercharged and turn on big time. They go into a feeding frenzy."
As anglers scramble to get back on their feet for Day Two, perhaps a change of lakes is in order.

Preheat the broiler. Brush the tuna steaks on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil half the tuna steaks for 2 minutes per side, until just rare. Repeat with the remaining tuna steaks. Let the tuna cool to room temperature, then finely chop it with a knife.
In a large bowl, combine the tuna with the cornichons, red onion, dill, capers and olives. Fold in 1 cup of the mayonnaise and the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Form the tuna into 10 burgers and transfer to a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1 cup of mayonnaise with the Dijon and dry mustards. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate the mustard mayonnaise until it is ready to use.
Dust the tuna burgers with flour. Heat 1/4 inch of olive oil in each of 2 large skillets until shimmering. Add 3 or 4 burgers to each skillet and cook over moderately high heat until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes per side for medium. Drain the tuna burgers on paper towels and cook the remaining burgers in 1 skillet. Serve the tuna burgers with the mustard mayonnaise. Pass the Marinated Cabbage Slaw separately.
Make Ahead
The recipe can be prepared through Step 3 and refrigerated overnight.

What to Say When the Police Tell You to Stop Filming Them
"Photography is a form of power, and people are loath to give up power, including police officers." First of all, they shouldn't ask. "As a basic principle, we can't tell you to stop recording," says Delroy Burton, chairman of D.C.'s metropolitan police union and a 21-year veteran on the force. "If you're standing across the street videotaping, and I'm in a public place, carrying out my public functions, [then] I'm subject to recording, and there's nothing legally the police officer can do to stop you from recording."
Con: ObamaCare was designed to fail ON PURPOSE to usher in 'single payer' system
As far back as 2013, ObamaCare was already being lamented , even before it was set to trigger. Senator Orrin Hatch, a Republican from Utah, decried the system as a grand design that would eventually lead the rest of the country to become a single-payer system. In addition to the introduction of a bill to repeal the health insurance tax , Hatch also made a prediction that within a year democratic lawmakers would come to the conclusion that ObamaCare was not working and that the single-payer system would be the only possible solution. So far, it appears that the only thing that Orrin Hatch was incorrect about concerned the timeline of his prediction.
Marijuana doesn't cause lung cancer or impair lung function
Lies regarding cannabis are nothing new, having been lurking around American society for nearly a century now, but that doesn't make them any less annoying to hear. Especially when you consider the fact that these lies exist for the sole purpose of billionaires lining their pockets with more and more dirty money, they are incredibly upsetting.
The U.S. doesn't know who fired missiles at ship, bombed Yemen anyway
This week, the United States attacked and destroyed a series of radar stations belonging to the Shi'ite Houthis in Yemen, along the Red Sea coast. This was described as retaliation for the missiles fired sort of near a US destroyer off shore, and presented as preventing future such strikes. Yet Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook admitted that the US still hasn't actually made any determination who fired those missiles in the first place . It is unclear why they retaliated against the Houthis, who denied involvement…..
Obama's race-fueled war on police nearly cost this Chicago cop her life
( Freedom.news ) For nearly eight years President Obama has used race as a means of attacking police, blaming every cop shooting of a black man – rare though they are, and most justified – as another opportunity to "prove" racism is inherent in America's police departments. To most Americans that is, of course, an absurd premise. But it's a narrative that has been picked up by other racialists and race-baiters in the Black Lives Matter movement and elsewhere to turn legitimate uses of force by police into a political football that many predicted would eventually lead to needless injury and death of cops too concerned about fallout to use force when necessary to protect themselves and the general public.
4 no-brainer ways to prevent dementia
When brain cells are damaged, dementia can result. This damage can cascade, causing an impairment when neural cells attempt to communicate with each other. Memory loss is just one symptom of dementia; others include difficulties with language and communication, visual perception, attention problems and troubles with focus, reason and judgment. Alz.com reports that although " Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60 – 80% of [dementia] cases," dementia can also happen following a stroke, or be triggered by vitamin deficiencies or a thyroid problem, which may be reversible.

(Mis)Readings: Design Project Tackles Information Overwhelm
Designer Mimi O. Chun is attempting to document everything she reads by removing the books or magazines' colors and images.
Designer Mimi O. Chun of New York has launched her personal project, (Mis)Readings, through which she aims to document the books and magazines she has read by removing the colors and images from each page as she reads it. What's left are white pages with black text in original typeface and layout and empty spaces where once there were images, all bearing testimony that they have been read.
She explains:
In our apartment, you'll find stacks of books, magazines, and catalogs in every room. Some are perennial favorites—read, re-read, and referenced on a regular basis—while others have yet to be cracked since arriving home from Amazon or the local bookstore months, sometimes years, ago. We subscribe to a half-dozen magazines, but average at least four weeks behind on the weeklies, particularly those as dense as The New Yorker. We cancelled our subscription to Time Out, simply because the frustration that resulted from reading about the show we missed or the exhibit that just closed became unbearable.
(Mis)Readings attempts to document that which I've actually read. Page for page, every word ingested from books and magazines is replicated in its original typeface and layout. Colors and images have been eliminated. Headlines and drop caps loom large against vast expanses of white; credits and small point legalese rarely appears. What results is a visual record of my own predisposition toward content—that which is omitted is, perhaps, equally, if not more, significant as that which appears on the page.

Finding the perfect set of manicure tools can be a bit troublesome, particularly if you are unsure what items should be included in such a set. However, with a bit of information about the best types of times for such a kit, locating the right option can be a bit simpler, whether you are looking for one yourself, or you want to give a great gift.
First, you should pay attention to the type of nail clippers included. These should be made from high quality metal; stainless steel is usually the best choice here, as it will last a lifetime without any hassles. Make sure that these are included, though.
Another consideration when purchasing a manicure set is to ensure that the set you buy contains a nail cutter. This tool differs from nail clippers in that it has a coil, or a single spring built into it, as well as very sharp jaws for precision cutting needs.
To keep your cuticles healthy and looking good, you will need to make sure that the manicure set you purchase has a pair of cuticle cutters. These look a bit like scissors, but are specifically manufactured to help you trim your cuticles easily and safely.
A cuticle pusher is also a good item to have in your set. This tool works much like it sounds – you simply push your cuticle up and off the top of your fingernail. You will find these usually have a rounded end and an "arrowhead" end, to help you with different needs.
It's important that your manicure set also include a nail file. This should be made from metal, rather than from foam, plastic or another type of material. Metal files can be reused time and time again, and do not wear out over time the way other materials will.
Finally, make sure that your set comes with a pair of tweezers. These tools help with hair removal, but can be used for numerous other tasks as well, when you need very precise control. Of course, you also want to take a look at the case in which all of these tools are contained. The case should have a slot in which to secure each tool for easy travel, and it should also be of high quality materials, so that it will last for years to come. Make certain that you are able to find a good price on these tools, but do not sacrifice quality for savings.

- Pros
- He liked the way it felt and it wasn't sticky.

Surprisingly effective
Reviewed: 15 May 2016 by PeppermintButterfly, a Bisexual Married Female
When I first ordered one of these for my husband, I was sceptical as it doesn't look like much. However, I admit to being pleasantly surprised!
These little eggs are ideal for my husband to use on his own and for me to use on him.
We have tried several different types and they have all been well received by my husband!
- Pros
- Easy to use. Very effective. Comes with little packet of lube.
- Cons
- Only one time use.
- Bottom line
- Would definitely recommend.

My girlfriend and I tried this out as a bit of fun, and I have to admit I was sceptical at first. However, was I immediately converted - wow!
I had one of the most amazing climaxes I've ever had. The egg feels amazing. Stimulates all the right places, and the whole act was actually very intimate. My girlfriend enjoyed using it on me and watching how aroused I was.
Can't wait to try all the different types.

His comments are likely to be heeded. Ministers claimed during the election that the revival of apprenticeships for young people would be accelerated if Labour won a third term in power. There are currently 255,000 modern apprenticeships available for 14 to 25-year-olds, according to the Treasury. This is due to be increased to 330,000 by 2010.
Mr Stewart has benefited from the apprenticeship programme at retailer Argos. He manages its store in Newark, after he started his advance apprenticeship in management in the customer service department. Mr Stewart impressed the judges with personal business projects that included a manager's special promotion, which earned £50,000 in extra sales.
And under his own steam he developed and ran an online training programme for store staff that helped raise productivity. As a consequence, the Newark outlet reached the top three best Argos stores in a nationwide customer satisfaction audit.
Rower Sir Matthew Pinsent, presenting the awards sponsored by City & Guilds, British Gas, BT and Skills for Business, said: "Just like competitive sport at the highest level, apprenticeships require dedication, training and commitment from the young people and employers. These people are contributing directly to the international standing of England and those using apprenticeships to excel in their field deserve the recognition that these awards will give them."
Stephen Gardner, director of work-based learning at the Learning and Skills Council says: "Apprenticeships provide young people with a mixture of on and off-the-job training while they are being paid and the young people involved have proved to make a real difference to businesses. This is our opportunity to applaud their performance and their commitment."
This year, the award for larger employers went to BAe Systems. The defence and aerospace group employs more than 90,000 people and generates sales of more than £12bn. The Learning and Skills Council says the award recognised BAe's commitment to boosting productivity through apprenticeships (it arranges around 280 a year).
Employers were judged on a number of criteria including implementation of the corporate apprenticeship programme, demonstration of the way the scheme had benefited their businesses and the level of support provided to the apprentices within their organisation. This year, the sponsors introduced an additional category to recognise the contribution of fledgling businesses with fewer than 10 employees.
This new award was bagged by a floor coverings firm, Carpeting Merseyside. John Garvey, the owner, approached local training provider, Huyton Churches Training Services. The flooring sector has been hit by a double whammy through the skills gap and a rapidly ageing workforce. The average age had reached 52, and Mr Garvey's solution to the crisis was to set up a specialist training institution.
Over the past five years he has persuaded funding organisations, educational institutions and other employers in the industry to establish a floor covering academy in Merseyside, that is now training 40 young people.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX drops on U.S. consumer confidence data
* TSX down 1.3 percent at 10,340.37
* Financials drop 2 percent
* "Window-dressing" at end of quarter adds to volatility
(Adds details, quotes)
By Jennifer Kwan and Nina Lex
TORONTO, June 30 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index sank on Tuesday morning after a choppy start, pulled down in part by weakness in financial shares after U.S. data showed a drop in consumer confidence in June.
The drop in confidence, which came after two straight months of gains, dented hopes that the North American economy was regaining its stride after months of recession. [ID:nN30263841]
The Toronto index, which was little changed ahead of the data, quickly dropped after the reading soon after the open, said Steve Ibel, institutional equities trader at Beacon Securities, in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
"The fact that consumer confidence is lower means people are going to continue saving more," he said. Continued...
