Today, I felt fairly depressed about being single for the holidays during work. This cute girl came to my register asking about our sales ad. After telling her we had no copies, she asked for my number. I shouted: "Finally, someone wants to go out with me." She wanted the store's number to call. FML

The Hand Society is engaged in several important efforts to gather information about the detailed work and scope our members are involved in. The development of the following ASSH "Member Insights" data survey was led by Edward Diao, MD with input from our Corporate Advisory Council that included members of Council, the Foundation, and select corporate partners. It collected information about the frequency of hand conditions that are seen, the specific implants used and change in practice patterns in the last twelve months by ASSH members across the spectrum of their practices. We learned more about treatments and conditions which are less than ideal and where innovation and new products might be helpful.
The results of this survey are being made available to sale to industry partners so that some of these insufficiencies in treatment options and product preferences will be addressed. This survey was a collaborative effort to learn more about the field of hand and upper limb surgery and to bring more resources to those areas where current treatment options are not ideal.

Questions? Contact staff at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (312) 880-1900.
Tip 1: Start with the basics like "carpal tunnel." You can always add more words later to narrow
down results.
Tip 2: Choose words carefully and avoid terms that do not concern surgery.
Tip 3: Avoid capitalization and conjunctions like "the," "and," "or," or "in." Also, avoid using media types like "video," "article," and "picture."
Tip 4: Your results can be refined by using either the tabs at the top (Video, Articles/WEB, Images, JHS, Products/Vendors), or the filters on the left (Filter by Source, Filter by Format, Filter by Purpose, etc.).
Tip 5: Punctuation can enhance your search as well. Use quotes ("search term") to only include
pages with the same words in the same order. But only use this if you are looking for an exact word or phrase, otherwise you may exclude helpful results. Add an asterisk (search term*) as a placeholder for any unknown or wildcard terms. For example, C*l Tunnel would give you results for Cubital Tunnel and Carpal Tunnel. Place a question mark (search term?) for single-character wildcard matching. For example, pa?ent would give you results for parent, patent, etc. You may also use the plus sign (search + word) between words for words you must have in the results.
Tip 6: We are always trying to improve our search, if you are having any trouble with search please refer to our survey here and we will use your comments to improve our search. You can also watch our search help video.

What do you do when the protests stop and racism remains?
Hunger and race are two topics communities face every day. Few news organizations can sustain coverage of either over time.
How do we find and cover these stories, then? Reporting Stories Hidden in Plain Sight, a new web-based resource for journalists, is a first response.
The site contains a lot of literacy – definitions of terms, timelines and links to key data sets. There are also examples of good coverage of race and hunger and academic reports on the issues.More

3 mobile journalism apps you'll want to add to your reporting arsenal
In the spirit of experimentation and team building fun, a few members of the GateHouse Newsroom team enrolled in Poynter NewsU's 2016 Tools for Mobile Journalism webinar. The NewsU team shared a good number of apps, ranging from the incredibly useful, to the less pragmatic and more experiential.
Some of the apps were no surprise – we're talking Instagram, Periscope and Facebook Live – but there were a few that were brand new to us. You'll have to sign up for the webinar replay for a full list, but here are a few that we would recommend to our own newsrooms based on their ease of use and practicality:

Go mobile, and 4 other digital lessons from Editor of the Year Paul Pronovost
There is no formula for digital success in journalism. Even the most well-prepared and researched digital champions have to accept that when it comes to digital, each individual media outlet's experience is unique. Success in the digital era comes from a willingness to try new things – and more importantly, the wisdom to learn lessons from both successes and failures.
This wisdom is something the Best of GateHouse judges looked for in the 2015 Editor of the Year, so it's no surprise that Editor of the Year Paul Pronovost of the Cape Cod Times has some great insights into his Top 5 digital lessons learned in 2015.MORE
Covering meetings with mobile
Meetings are the bread and butter of print journalism. The paper-of-record mindset tends to assign reporters to every city council hearing, every committee meeting. It's a bit different from TV, where reporters will drop in on meetings to highlight an important issue.
But regardless of when we cover it, meetings can be an important ingredient in our recipe to dominate the social feed and assert our outlet as the must-consult on whatever issue is important. Meetings are in a fixed location, often with wireless. And the flow of information will be endless in the form of data from documents or quotes from the local councilperson. It's a good fit for mobile journalism. But it takes a little preparation.
In my mind, there are a few different ways to cover this:MORE

Release Date:
May 20, 2003
Rating: nr - Questionable for Children, Adult Situations
While often regarded as one of America's greatest novelists, William Faulkner produced work that did not always translate well to the screen; it's ironically appropriate that this movie, based on several of Faulkner's short stories, is often regarded as one of the best films based on his work, though not especially accurate to the original source material. Ben Quick (Paul Newman), a sullen but self-confident drifter, arrives in a small Mississippi town where his father had a bad reputation as a firebug. Will Varner (Orson Welles), the town's patriarch, still holds a grudge against Quick's dad, and when the young man decides to stay in town and sharecrop on Varner's land, Will goes out of his way to make his life difficult. However, Will develops a grudging respect for Quick's guts and determination, and he wishes that his weak-willed son Jody (Anthony Franciosa) could be more like him; Jody's wife Eula (Lee Remick) happens to agree. In time, Will gets the idea that Quick might be a good match for his daughter Clara (Joanne Woodward) and a better choice to take over his business dealings than Jody. However, neither Clara nor Quick care to be told what to do, and besides, Clara already has a beau -- though Alan Stewart (Richard Anderson) is even more of a milquetoast than Jody and is led by the nose by his mother (Mabel Albertson). However, sparks begin to fly between Clara and Quick, and when Jody fears he may lose his place as heir of Will's estate, he takes drastic action, trapping his father in a barn, setting it on fire, and planting evidence that would suggest that the blaze was Quick's doing. The Long, Hot Summer was the first film that Newman and Woodward made together, and they got married the same year. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

can anyone here say stupid?
this sucks, seemed really dumb to me and i've seen dumb and i think that this takes it to a whole new level. first of all the beginning was just really poor and seemed to me to have been thought up by a 7 yr old who only finds interest in making flashes that deserve to b blammed!!!. grpahics were ok but seeing how they were just copied off from the original nintendo video game system. the whole storyline made as much sense as a donkey being on the very top of a mountain, and if u wanna know wtf i mean here it is. where the hell did peach come out all of the sudden? why a stereo, mario never played it when he got it anyway, and why the hell did he want to find luigi all of the sudden and not just open all his other presents?. what was he goin to say? thx for the mushroom...uhhh...srry i didnt get u anything, (why did i tell luigi this when i could have went to a store and secretly bought a present for him and he would never know?). and when he went to the city, when did he go tell march?, cuz i dint c no snow fallin, anyway style was ok could have been alot better but i was generous enough to give u a 6, sound was clear. violence was low, interactivity, some. humor, lame. overall a not so happy 5 out of 10
Got good news and bad news
Ok the good news is the humor in the end of the movie is very good, but the issue is that the movie dosnt have alot of FP so evreyone is impatient and just wants to exit the movie. Like alot of people has been asking, why was mario changing small to big evrey second? But anyway marios small in his house because you combined two game charecterswhich is super mario RPG and super mario world. Super mario world has smaller game charectersthan super mario RPG so heres evreyones answer. But good luck on your other flash movies and I hope you go for my suggestions about the game charecters.....
I swear, I had no idea what was going on... they wake up on Christmas, open presenents, mario gets a Boom Box from the Princess, and they go on a 5 second quest to find Luigi, find him head, and a guy in a suit dances... I swear... I have no idea why this is even popular... I just didn't understand ANYTHING what soever... PLEASE, MAKE SOME SENCE!!!
Sry, I had to give my reasons... *shrugs*
Although, the sound was amazing.
vanila ice has prbibly made the most money he has in a while from you getting the rights to that song HA HA HA BURN!!!!!
I like Mario, Luigi, Mario theme song remixes, Peach, AM-FM Radios, Suprise endings and Vanilla ice (well not so much vanilla ice) and I hate this fucking cartoon. I call shenanigans!!!!!

This valuable resource is a must for beginning teachers. It has many valuable time savers, practical ideas, and sound advice. Wish I had had it earlier in the year. I'll use often next year. Highly recommend it to student teachers or any new teachers.
Easy to read with many bulleted points, this book is helpful to first-year teachers as well as those who have been teaching for longer. I find that every now and then I need to look at something new to re-energize myself for better planning and more effective teaching. This book does that. It offers best practices in behavior management, time management, lesson planning, effective teaching, and assessment. It also contains helpful lists of professional organizations, professional journals, computer software sources, and instructional materials suppliers. While other authors spend so much time focusing on procedures, this author gives you helpful procedural information but focuses on explaining how you can build relationships with students and make learning an active endeavor. He even encourages you to smile while you're doing it.

Passengers aboard the stricken Carnival Triumph cruise ship were photographed spelling out 'HELP' with their bodies for passing helicopters. Travelers on the stranded vessel have reportedly been enduring disgusting conditions for days.
The Carnival Triumph has been adrift in the Gulf of Mexico since Sunday, when a a fire in the engine room damaged the ship's propulsion system. Passengers told CNN earlier this week that sewage was running down the walls and floors.
The Carnival Triumph has encountered further troubles as it has been towed back to the United States. A Carnival official said late on Thursday that a snapped towline has delayed the Triumph's expected arrival in Mobile, Alabama.

[1] Coconut Flour is one of the most divine 'undiscovered' ingredients that I use all the time to make low carb/gluten free baked goods! It is high in fiber, protein, and low in carbs and calories. It makes very moist breads, cakes and muffins! Take note that it instantly makes any batter very thick, so a little goes a long way! I buy mine at whole foods or online on Amazon.
[2] Oat flour is really simple to make at home! Just put some old fashioned oats in a blender or food processor, and blend until oats reach a flour consistency! I make a big batch and keep the extra in a Tupperware for easy baking! Note: Use gluten free oats if gluten sensitive!
I provided 2 versions of this almond joy pancake, one using coconut flour, and one using old fashioned oats. Both taste out of this world good!
In a medium size bowl, combine all of the ingredients, and whisk until everything is well combined and batter is smooth.
Meanwhile, heat a nonstick griddle (or nonstick skillet) coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Spoon batter onto griddle, (makes four small pancakes or two large). If adding chocolate chips, sprinkle chips over pancakes before turning. Turn pancakes over when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Coconut flour pancakes will puff up, and must be lightly 'pressed down' after you flip them to help them cook through.
When pancakes are cooked through, remove from griddle and serve immediately!
With the Dashing Dish Membership, you can add this recipe—and hundreds of others—to your own personal meal plan!

On Thursday, June 28, Sony Pictures Entertainment (NYSE: SNE) is joined by NYC Service to highlight the July 3rd premiere of the highly anticipated summer blockbuster, "The Amazing Spider-Man™." To mark this occasion, the group rings The Closing BellSM. NYC Service and Sony Pictures Entertainment worked together to create the "Be Amazing, Stand Up and Volunteer" program. The initiative aims to support Stand Up To Cancer, which funds accelerated and innovative cancer research. About Sony Pictures' "The Amazing Spider-Man" One of the world's most popular characters is back on the big screen as a new chapter in the Spider-Man legacy is revealed in The Amazing Spider-Man™. Focusing on an untold story that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story, the new film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, with Martin Sheen and Sally Field. The film is directed by Marc Webb. The screenplay is by James Vanderbilt and Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves from a story by James Vanderbilt, based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Laura Ziskin, Avi Arad, and Matt Tolmach are producing the film in association with Marvel Entertainment for Columbia Pictures, which will open in theaters everywhere in 3D on July 3, 2012. About Sony Pictures Entertainment (NYSE: SNE) Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) is a subsidiary of Sony Corporation of America, a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Sony Corporation. SPE's global operations encompass motion picture production and distribution; television production and distribution; home entertainment acquisition and distribution; a global channel network; digital content creation and distribution; operation of studio facilities; development of new entertainment products, services and technologies; and distribution of entertainment in more than 159 countries.

SU2C facilitates collaboration among the best and the brightest in the cancer research community. The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and a Scientific Advisory Committee led by Nobel Laureate Phillip A. Sharp, Ph.D., conduct rigorous, competitive review processes through which SU2C's grantees are selected. By galvanizing the entertainment industry, SU2C generates awareness and builds grassroots support for this new approach to ending cancer.

New Projects - Fresh from the Labs
If you've got a stack of MiniDiscs lying around rotting, because you hate rebooting into Windows just to have basic access to your hardware, others exist who share your pain. One of these people is Adrian Glaubitz. Adrian sent me an e-mail, saying the following:
Almost all newer MiniDisc-Walkmans made by Sony and other manufacturers have a USB-connector that allows download and upload of audio tracks and data to the MD-Walkman from a PC. However, since Sony is also a major record label, it has adopted a sophisticated system of DRM protection that requires a proprietary software from Sony called SonicStage, which runs on Windows only; even the latest Wine version is not able to run it smoothly enough to allow transfer from/to an MD-Walkman.
Being a passionate Linux user since 1998, Adrian was annoyed by always having to reboot into Windows to do anything with his player. There were Linux projects around, but they never allowed him to do much more than control his player—audio transfers were impossible. Adrian then decided to start this project, together with a friend who'd been working on parts of Wine for years (a great exercise in reverse engineering), and now the project has almost 20 people (some from older/defunct MiniDisc projects) contributing to the program in some form or another.
First, there are many strange library requirements to take care of, so jump into your package manager to grab these elusive creatures (they might have different names in your distro, but the following at least should give you a clue):
libqt4-dev build-essential libglib2.0-dev ↪libmad0-dev libmcrypt-dev cmake libsox-dev ↪libmcrypt4 libmcrypt-dev cmake
To download the source, grab the repository using git. Open a terminal, and enter a directory where you won't mind the source being saved. Now, enter the following command:
$ git clone git://z6.physik.fu-berlin.de/linux-minidisc
This project is broken down into two major parts: libhimd (the library) and QHiMDTransfer (the GUI application). Let's compile both of them at once. Change into the linux-minidisc directory, and compile the program with the following commands:
$ cd linux-minidisc $ cmake . $ make
Take note of the . character after cmake; it's not a misprint, and you'll need it! Once compilation has finished, change into the QHiMDTransfer directory and run the program, like so:
$ cd QHiMDTransfer $ ./QHiMDTransfer
Once you're inside the application, you need to mount your MiniDisc device before you can browse it, upload to it or download from it. If you don't have a MiniDisc device, but you're still interested in exploring this program's features, there's an image you can use to simulate the device available on the given wiki page, along with instructions. When you have your device mounted, click File→Connect, and choose the folder under which your MiniDisc player is mounted.
If all goes well, your player's contents will come up in the main window. From here, you can choose to copy to or from the player with some fairly obvious cues from the GUI (it's a pretty basic interface). For those interested in doing more with their MiniDisc players, there are also tools like himdtest in the libhimd directory for things like track uploading, encryption info and so on.
For the moment, you can upload only MP3s and unencrypted PCM files as WAVs, but the team is working on total functionality. As Adrian told me:
We are now very confident that soon we will have finished completely reverse-engineering the necessary protocols and file formats, so that there will be complete support for MiniDisc on Linux without any limitations by DRM, which are imposed by the original bloated Windows software. Once we have a first stable version, a friend of mine who is a Debian developer will help get the software into Debian and make it available to all Debian/Ubuntu-users.
I hope they do. The more niche hardware that's supported by Linux, the more our OS will be known for hardware-friendliness. Adrian tells me that he's also chasing some Qt programmers who can spruce up the GUI a little, so if you're a programmer on the lookout for a project to contribute to, give him a shout.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

MOSCOW Oct 10 Former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden's father arrived in Moscow on Thursday and said he hopes to see his son, who was granted asylum in Russia after he leaked details of government surveillance programmes and fled the United States.
Speaking to journalists at a Moscow airport, Lon Snowden said he had not had any direct contact with Edward Snowden but that he felt "extreme gratitude that my son is safe and secure and he's free."

Florida Student Takes Viral Selfie With Teacher Having Contractions in Background
Self-taken photos are -- as a general rule -- of no use or interest to anyone but the narcissistic subject. From the era of Myspace angle shots to the age of the Instagram duck face, this has been a true, verifiable fact. A Florida high school student has just shattered the time-tested rule, though, by photobombing his teacher, with great results. The TwitPic captioned "selfie with my teacher while she having contractions" went absolutely viral since it was posted earlier this week.
Susana Halleck isn't due until December 15, according to her Facebook page, but she began having contractions while teaching class this past Tuesday. A junior at Coral Springs Charter School, in an act of either mischief of Schadenfreude, decided it was the perfect opportunity for self-promotion.
The image's foreground shows a Lil Wayne look-alike grinning widely, wearing sunglasses inside for reasons unexplained. The background features the boy's business teacher as she calls her mother and makes a pained expression, according to Local 10.
Malik Whiter's photo, which was retweeted internationally, is extraordinary in its simultaneous capturing of joy and misery. But is it cruel? At least one person yesterday questioned the student's integrity for sharing the photo, although the vast majority of Twitterers are hailing it as a classic of the selfie genre.
Although Whiter told Local 10 he was merely trying to capture an important moment in the life of a great teacher, taking the photo was probably a dick move. And the moment he captured didn't turn out to be so important after all. Halleck went to the hospital but did not deliver, and she was back teaching yesterday.

MLB Draft Preview: Maine
: : State Preview
Frankie Piliere
Friday, May 24, 2013
In the weeks leading up to the draft, Perfect Game will be providing a detailed overview of each state in the U.S., including the District of Columbia, as well as Canada and Puerto Rico. These overviews will list the state's strengths, weaknesses and the players with the best tools, as well as providing scouting reports on all Group 1 and 2 players as ranked in Perfect Game's state-by-state scouting lists.

Maine State-by-State List
Perhaps as much as any state in the nation, Maine relies on one major college team. The University of Maine has steadily generated draft picks over the last decade, including picks in the top ten rounds in the last two years. And, they have an outside chance of another top ten round selection this year in right handed pitcher Tommy Lawrence.
Mike Fransoso and Alex Cabick, also on the Maine team, represent the state's next best hopes of draft selections, but both have been leapfrogged by Lawrence this spring. Forrest Chadwick of Southern Maine, known for his raw power in scouting circles, has hope of a late round draft selection as well.
On the high school side, one name to keep an eye out for perhaps in the late rounds is Anthony Capuano, who is the son of New York Islanders' head coach, Jack Capuano. Capuano is committed to Maine.

Lawrence is a major wildcard heading into this year's draft. There's a sense that while most teams are slotting him as a 10th-12th rounder, that there are some teams view him as a candidate as high as rounds 7-8. And, it's been an interesting path to get to this point for Lawrence. After beginning his collegiate career at Winthrop, a Connecticut native, he transferred to Maine and red-shirted the 2012 season. But, a stint with the Chatham Anglers in the Cape Cod League made 2012 far from a lost year for him. He worked 38 innings of the Cape, compiled a 3.55 ERA in the process, and struck out 35 while walking only seven in that span. But, more importantly, Lawrence showed an 89-92 mph fastball that peaked as high as 93, and was able to locate it consistently. His big curveball also showed above average depth, and it was another pitch he located exceptionally well. Lawrence has only built on that success this spring, becoming Maine's most dominant starting pitcher, and earning a reputation as a bulldog on the mound. He walked just 25 batters over 104 2/3 innings this spring, which also speaks to his superb command. Being a 6-foot right-hander limits Lawrence's long term projection, but his ability to throw strikes with two quality offerings could make him very intriguing from rounds 8-12.

Holding CASH is probably the best place for short term (less than 3 years). Although most moneymarkets etc, are paying less than 1%, there is NO risk of losing principle. You only risk losing out a bit on inflation, but you have piece of mind. I have long term (20 year) targets, and want income. Lots of money in REITS, Blue-Chip dividends, utilities, etc. . my average payout is about 6% on my portfolio. . .also lots of corporate bonds paying 6 - 9%. . .ladder them out in 10K strips from 5 - 15 years. Answer to your question as always is: what are your investment goals. . .my Aunt kept all bonds till maturity, and kept most blue chips in her portfolio for 40 years. . .she died a RICH woman. A note on 20 year corporate bonds. . .if you can get 8% over 20 years, you will go through 3 - 4 interest rate cycles. (also recessions and recoveries) it generally averages out over 20 years, and you DO get your money back. . .

The Stables were converted into an apartment in 2009. It is mainly of stone construction, with some brick ornamentation. The bedrooms have vaulted ceilings and original beams. Each has a private bathroom. The fixtures and fittings are of high quality and are tastefully assembled. There are views of the river and Town Bridge from both rooms. Bedroom 1 has a surface area of 30 m², Bedroom 2 has 21.5 m².
On the ground floor there is a large sitting room/ kitchen, ( 27.6 m²). Two walls are of stone, one of which is tuffeau, the names of the horses which one time lived here remain on the wall. The ceiling has the original beams.There is a television which can be adjusted to receive British or French programmes. The kitchen has a fan assisted oven and induction hob.The building has double glazing throughout and is well insulated.
Outside there is a gated courtyard for parking and an enclosed garden/ terrace.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! My wife and I had actually 'looked' at the appartment on Google maps and were pleased to see that it was right across the street from the river Cher (the one that Chenonceau straddles further upstream.
On our arrival, Alan made us welcome, showed us the marvelously redone stables,(no lingering evidence except for the names of favourite horses on the walls in the main room), gave us the key, and answered our questions about the area. VERY helpful; he even lent me the use of his piano to practice on.
The town is delightful, off the beaten tourist track, but with it's own chateau (not open to the public) a towering presence. It's very well situated to visit various attractions, about equidistant from chateaux along the Loire, Cher, and Indre rivers, most within a 20-30 minute drive.
You can't go wrong if you decide to stay here.
We spent a week in this beautiful property, and we could have stayed forever! Not only is the apartment beautiful, clean and comfortable, Alan and Brenda were gracious and helpful hosts. St.Aignan was the perfect location for exploring the chateaux of the Loire Valley. It is lovely, quiet, and very friendly. We really enjoyed exploring and buying fresh produce and prepared foods from the Saturday market. Do not miss the roasted chicken or the paella available from the vendors there.
The photos do not do justice to how lovely this house is. Spotless, well equipped and owners are so helpful and friendly. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again as it really is a lovely house and fantastic location to explore the loire. Well furnished/decorated and roomy for a two bedroomed let
A week in this wonderful property and charming town was not enough. The photos, while accurate, cannot do justice to the spaciousness and comfort of the renovated stables. The bathrooms are the largest and nicest of any property I have ever rented. The whole place was very clean and Alan spent time to ensure that we knew how everything worked before leaving us on our own. There is English television, but I believe he could have also gotten us French tv if we had wanted it.
Alan and his wife were very pleasant and helpful. Anytime we needed anything, Alan was available. We had everything we needed to cook several meals in the kitchen and the bedrooms stayed cool on the warm evenings.
The only problem we had was the spotty internet access inside the building. However, Alan was actively working on that issue while we were there. We had access from the window in one bedroom and on the veranda by Alan's office. While not what we would have liked, it certainly was adequate.
The town has restaurants, bars, a chateau and church to be visited. Everyone we met was very friendly and helpful. The boulangerie just up the street had outstanding bread and pastries. We missed the Saturday market, but went to a small evening one that was quite fun.
St. Aignan is in a wonderful location to visit chateaux and other sites in the eastern Loire Valley. Many are only a short drive away. We could have headed west of Tours, as well, but chose to limit ourselves to the chateaux east of that town. The local zoo ( 5 minutes outside of town) is one of the nicest I have been to. The shows (birds of prey and sea lions) were outstanding.
There are several grocery stores and gas stations nearby which had everything we needed. There is a lot of traffic in town, more than you might expect, but it never bothered us during the day or at night. The private parking area is a definite bonus, as well.
I highly recommend this town and this property. The owners are excellent to work with and it was a delight to stay in their lovely property.
No complaints here! This is a beautiful place to stay. The house is clean, large, quiet at night, great water pressure in the shower, lots of hot water.
The location was perfect as a base for travelling around the loire valley. There are two grocery stores in this small town.
Would stay here again and recommend it to friends.
This was all we had hoped for if not better. We had more room than the photos suggested and the stable conversion has been done to a very high standard. Alan and Brenda were great hosts.
The location could not be better, next to the river with a view of the bridge from the bedroom. It is a short walk into the old cobbled town centre, church and chateau. Lots of nice bars, restaurents and shops.
We were there for the music festival so we did not travel far this time, but there is a lot to see if that is your wish. We decided to leave the visits to gardens, vinyards and chateaux until we return again.
This is a beautifully renovated stable with many original features such as stone walls, and exposed beams.
The pictures are very accurate. The kitchen is quite usable for meal preparation. The bedrooms are large and each has a full ensuite bathroom. Both bathrooms are very modern and well fitted. There is plenty of hot water. This is a good choice for two couples as there is very good separation between the bedrooms allowing for lots of privacy for couples or friends sharing the apartment. Everything worked as expected (heating, air conditioning, appliances, linen, kitchen equipment). There were sufficient pots and pans, dishes etc. The apartment was very clean. There is wireless internet available on the terrace outside of the apartment. We had access to the host's washing machine upon request. Parking is private and right outside the front door of the apartment making it very convenient.
The apartment is well positioned in the village and right on the river. One can easily walk to several good restaurants in the village as well as the weekly market. Saint-Aignan sur Cher proved to be a good base for exploring the chateaux and wineries of the Loire.
Alan was a good host. He was very responsive to inquiries before and during our stay. No issues with arrival or departure.
I would recommend this apartment to friends.
The Stables, situated on the banks of the river Cher, and in the historic town of Saint-Aignan, is an ideal base for exploring the ' Valley of Kings'. Within 30 mins drive you can visit the chateaux of Chenonceau, Valençay, Loches,Chambord, Cheverny, Amboise, and many others. The beautiful city of Blois, with it's fine chateau, restaurants and bars and eclectic shops, is also within 30mins.drive. A little further afield (40 min) you will find Amboise, it's chateau,and large twice weekly market and to the west, the fascinating city of Tours.
If you do not wish to drive, Saint-Aignan offers plenty to see and do. The Collegiale (church) dates back to the 11th Century, and has fresco's in the crypt dating from that time, you are free to enter and see for yourself.
Wine-making has been going on in and around Saint-Aignan for centuries and many vignerons have caves open to the public for tasting and purchase of their products.
Saint-Aignan is home to the world renowned 'Zoo Park Beauval', It's white tigers, and giant pandas are especially interesting, a great family day out.

Objective: This study was designed to assess physicians' attitudes toward obese patients and the causes and treatment of obesity.
Research Methods and Procedures: A questionnaire assessed attitudes in 2 geographically representative national random samples of 5000 primary care physicians. In one sample (N = 2500), obesity was defined as a BMI of 30 to 40 kg/m2, and in the other (N = 2500), obesity was defined as a BMI > 40.
Results: Six hundred twenty physicians responded. They rated physical inactivity as significantly more important than any other cause of obesity (p < 0.0009). Two other behavioral factors—overeating and a high-fat diet—received the next highest mean ratings. More than 50% of physicians viewed obese patients as awkward, unattractive, ugly, and noncompliant. The treatment of obesity was rated as significantly less effective (p < 0.001) than therapies for 9 of 10 chronic conditions. Most respondents (75%), however, agreed with the consensus recommendations that a 10% reduction in weight is sufficient to improve obesity-related health complications and viewed a 14% weight loss (i.e., 78 ± 5 kg from an initial weight of 91 kg) as an acceptable treatment outcome. More than one-half (54%) would spend more time working on weight management issues if their time was reimbursed appropriately.
Discussion: Primary care physicians view obesity as largely a behavioral problem and share our broader society's negative stereotypes about the personal attributes of obese persons. Practitioners are realistic about treatment outcomes but view obesity treatment as less effective than treatment of most other chronic conditions.
