How Homework Is Hurting Our Family
I hate school!
Yes, I know that's a bit immature for someone 41 years old. But it's true. I hate school -- so much so that my wife, Amy, and I have hired a college student to help our fifth-grade son manage his schoolwork a few times a week.
It's not that we can't do the work with him, or that we don't want to. Just this evening we helped him study for a reading test, and over the weekend I was quizzing him on customary and metric units of measurement one day and biological definitions the next.
No, it's that the volume of homework and tests that fill his docket is, in a word, ridiculous.
I'm not sure when it happened, but at some point U.S. schools decided that if you can't teach 'em, test 'em...or pile on more homework.
The result is that my son's life -- and by extension our family life -- is a constant, stress-laden stream of homework and tests and projects. It overshadows everything we do, always hanging over our head. It affects our weekends, our meals, our vacations, our work time, our playtime, our pocketbooks.
And to what end? Maybe I'm missing something, but when did schools determine that the best place for kids to learn math, science and English is at their own kitchen table?
* * *
Obviously, learning is what school is about. I have nothing against homework or school projects or a certain level of anxiety about it all. How a student deals with those demands and that anxiety is great preparation for later life.
But the level of homework and anxiety my son deals with on a daily basis is well beyond anything healthy. And from talking to other parents, this problem is hardly unique to our family.
Amy and I knew there was a problem several weeks ago when our son brought home a D and a C. This was the first time that he earned anything less than a B. And then, a week later, another D.
At first we were mad. He's just not paying attention to the questions; he's rushing through the tests; he's being careless. We quizzed him before the test and again afterward. How is it that he can know the information before and after, yet not during?
It turns out he's stressed out. He told Amy that he wishes he could do better. But he already wakes up on school days between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m., panicked that he doesn't know the material he has already studied. He wakes up Amy to help him go over his notes one more time. He studies in the car on the way to school. Some nights he's up past 10 p.m., writing, reading or memorizing. He spends parts of many weekends reading and doing projects.
Then he sees the Ds and Cs and gets dejected, wondering how he could possibly study any harder or any longer.
The truth is, he can't. His childhood is already all but consumed by textbooks, notebooks and flashcards.
* * *
Compounding the problem, as Amy says, is that this barrage of schoolwork "is killing our family." Amy says it makes her "feel like the worst mom in the world." Here's why: Many times our efforts to help our son lead to short tempers and blown fuses because at some point he simply has had enough of all this studying. He just wants to be outside on a Saturday, but he's stuck inside on a project, or reciting the synonyms and antonyms to justify, villain and abandon.
One of Amy's colleagues calls it the Bermuda Triangle, because first the child gets mad, then the parent helping gets mad, and then the parent listening to the meltdown gets mad.
Our four-year-old daughter gets caught up in this Bermuda Triangle as well, of course. Besides getting less focused attention from Mom and Dad, she picks up on all the angst. After a recent homework meltdown, she went up to her brother and said, "All you have to do is do your homework, and Mommy won't be mad."
Then there's the effect on our jobs. I'm not saying work takes precedence over our son's education. But let's be realistic: At some point, the ability of Mom and Dad to keep the family clothed, sheltered and fed is relatively high on the Things To Do Today list. When I'm cutting interviews short to make a practice quiz, or Amy's going to work late -- or rising at 4 a.m. -- to help him prepare for a test, something's rotten with the system.
Perhaps the worst part is that many parents we've talked to are angry because they face the same issue. Some have felt compelled to put their elementary-age kids on medication for anxiety to cope with the stress of so much schoolwork. How insane that because of an overabundance of studying, prescribed as a way to prepare students for standardized tests that theoretically prove the schools are doing their jobs, kids are popping pills to keep jangled nerves in check.
Amy and I continue to help our fifth-grader nightly. He knows the material, but he continues to awaken early, worried about doing poorly. He continues to get burned out by the volume of homework he's responsible for, and the family continues to creak under the weight of all the stress.
Beyond hiring someone to help our son -- and, in effect, us -- Amy is meeting with our son's teachers to determine if there's anything else we can do to help him manage his load. Something, we hope, has to work.

Corvette Central's Split Mod chassis will be headed to the 2012 Corvette Expo (Houston, Texas) in February. To bring you up to speed, the 1963 split-window coupe had no engine or transmission when it was rescued. The severely rotted chassis has been replaced, and now we are working on the drivetrain. Corvette Central had a complete 1986 Corvette convertible L-98 engine and transmission assembly stored away, making it a perfect candidate for Project Split Mod. The 700R4 transmission that was coupled to the L-98 was mothballed to be used for a later project. Gear changes would be transmitted through a Keisler Engineering RS400 five speed overdrive transmission. There were many reasons for the engine choice, other than the fact it was sitting in storage waiting for someone to use it. Aesthetics were a concern, what with all the recent LS engine transplants under the hood of early Corvettes. It made sense to have a traditional look. (more…)

Corvette Online and Project Y2k: Stage 1 & 2 Upgrades
What follows has been reprinted with permission from Corvette Online. Written by Paul Huizenga
For a significant number of Corvette owners, the car as delivered from the factory is as good as it can possibly be – they go to great lengths to preserve originality and maintain their Vette exactly as it was when it sat in the dealer's showroom. Others take pleasure in customizing their Corvette, extracting more performance wherever possible.
You might guess what category we fall into.
So, as soon as we got Project Y2k in the shop, we rolled it on the dyno to get some baseline numbers, then before the drum on our DynoJet had stopped turning, we had our friends at Corvette Central on the phone. You see, they've launched a new performance division, sensibly named Corvette Central Performance, and they've got staged upgrade packages lined up for the C5 – a perfect fit! (more…)

Anecdotally, the flurry of recent oil and gas activity has
surfaced in a regional economic confidence survey in Otago.
In the latest Westpac McDermott Miller regional economic
confidence survey for March, households expecting good
economic times in the region in the year ahead rose sharply
from a net negative 1% in December to a net 29% positive in
Westpac chief economist Dominick Stephens said ''Oil and gas
exploration in the [Otago] region has been a hot topic and
this may have bolstered people's view of the outlook for
economic prospects for the region''.
The survey showed Otago consumer confidence rose from 107.4
in December to 115.7 in March, but was still sitting below
the national average of 121.7, Mr Stephens said.
While drill ships or rigs may not be around the coast again
for a couple of years, shipborne hydrographic seismic
surveying work is still under way.
Anadarko's drill ship Noble Bob Douglas has now headed
overseas, but at present the seismic survey vessel Aquila
Explorer is still operating south east of Dunedin, on
behalf of Shell.
It is expected to take several more weeks to complete its
two-dimensional survey, within a 21,200sq m area, with
results not fully analysed for about a year.
In early January, Shell and its joint venture OMV and Mitsui
said they would drill an exploration well in the northeast
part of its Great South Basin licensed area, possibly in
early summer 2016.
Listed New Zealand Oil & Gas was awarded three new
offshore permits during the 2013 block offer, by Government
permitting agency New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals.
Aside from Taranaki, it has Toroa in the Great South
Basin/Canterbury Basin, where NZOG is partnered with Woodside
It has also been awarded the Galleon permit, next to its
existing Clipper interest, off the coast from Oamaru.
NZOG has recently said its spending on exploration and
evaluation was up significantly to $23.747 million, as it
expanded its portfolio and was involved in more exploration
activity, compared with a year ago.
While the exploration boost undercut profit for debt-free New
Zealand Oil and Gas, as at late February it retains a healthy
$164.2 million cash war chest.

"With a good script, a good director can produce a masterpiece. With the same script, a mediocre director can produce a passable film. But with a bad script even a good director can't possibly make a good film. For truly cinematic expression, the camera and the microphone must be able to cross both fire and water. The script must be something that has the power to do this"
"The consequences of things are not always proportionate to the apparent magnitude of those events that have produced them. Thus the American Revolution, from which little was expected, produced much; but the French Revolution, from which much was expected, produced little."
"Psychologically I should say that a person becomes an adult at the point when he produces more than he consumes or earns more than he spends. This may be a the age of eighteen, twenty-five, or thirty-five. Some people remain unproductive and dependent children forever and therefore intellectually and emotionally immature."

A man accused of rape and murder pleaded guilty Wednesday.
p: Yep, we get it LIBERAL MEDIA...... in your vote and opinion, Hillary is the clear, and only choice, for President of the United States. For many of us, your slanted bias does not sway or manipulate us. We have had enough of extremist liberal views, policies, and practices for 8 years, and ready to move again toward more conservative values policies, and actions. Your job is to report fairly, honestly, and without prejudice or personal agenda. Be honorable, respectful and truthful..... report the good, bad, and the ugly regarding all politicians, party affiliations, and representations. Then simply leave it to the rest of us to make our decisions and vote as we have determined. And, for many of us, we are looking for a change from this last liberal Presidency that did not work in so many ways. Therefore, we are willing to take a chance at another choice, with another way of doing things. Perhaps, you should consider writing that.

Do high heating-oil prices constitute a national emergency?
We think not.
Does releasing 30 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve constitute pandering for votes?
We think so.
President Clinton just can't seem to let go. He's trying hard to get his wife elected to the U.S. Senate and Vice President Al Gore elected president.
On Friday, Clinton announced the release of the oil from the emergency reserve. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve will still have more than 500 million barrels left. However, it is supposed to be tapped during military emergencies - the only other time oil was taken from the reserve was during the Persian Gulf War - or if the country is left completely dependent on foreign oil companies.
Neither has happened or appears to be on the horizon. What is on the horizon is the presidential election.
Was it just a coincidence that Gore, the Democratic Party standard-bearer, was campaigning in Pennsylvania - a key battleground state whose residents have experienced the recent, and probably short-lived, high heating-oil prices - when Clinton made his announcement?
We think not.
Was this one of the more egregious abuses of power displayed by a president who appears to be more concerned about getting Gore elected than he is about safeguarding the country?
We think so.

Wayward squirrel cuts power to Clemson campus
Published: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 at 10:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 at 10:24 a.m.
CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) _ A squirrel caused a weekend campus-wide power outage at Clemson University.
Campus officials say one of the critters crossed power lines at the main campus substation around 10 a.m. Sunday, causing a massive outage.
University spokeswoman Robin Denny told The Greenville News it took more than seven hours to get all the power back on.
Clemson has been battling with squirrels for years. Graduate students are testing contraceptives to try and control the population, which is estimated at 12 squirrels per acre of the 1,400-acre campus.

Rumor: Sony to start development of gaming phone in July
Rumor has it that Sony wants in on some of the action that iPhone is getting.
According to Japan's Nikkei business daily (via Reuters), the company will start development on a "cellphone-game gear hybrid" next month and has a team ready to start work on it.
The team's purpose is to "develop a new product that combines functions of its portable game player and Sony Ericsson's mobile phones."
Sony gaming phone rumors have been around for a while, so who knows. Maybe it's true this time.

The top 4 advantages of trade secret protection
Trade secret protection allows the owners of these well-known products to not only preserve their IP rights, but also to enjoy certain advantages that a patent may not provide.
What is reasonable and non-discriminatory (RAND) patent licensing? (Part 3)
We evaluate the lessons learned from the Microsoft and Innovatio decisions and provide practical advice should you or your company find yourself in patent litigation with RAND damages issues.
Effect of foreign patent proceedings on U.S. patent litigation
Parties should be aware that prosecution and litigation of patents in foreign jurisdictions may have an impact on the enforcement of their corresponding U.S. patent rights
Six questions whose answers determine your response to IP infringement
Consider these questions, your company's answers to them, and discuss your possible enforcement strategy with your counsel as soon as a problem arises. A good strategy is often the key to swift resolution.
What is reasonable and non-discriminatory (RAND) patent licensing? (Part 2)
This article is the second in a series on a rapidly-evolving area of patent law: determining the "reasonable and non-discriminatory" (RAND) royalty rate for licensing a standard-essential U.S. patent.
What does it take to litigate a patent case?
I am often asked how much it costs to take a patent case through trial. And like most questions asked of a lawyer, the answer is usually, "It depends."
Apple and Samsung team up to fight patent troll
EST claims that both Apple and Samsung make communications devices – phones, tablets, computers, etc. – that infringe on these patents.

The upsides and downfalls of patent cease and desist letters
Once an applicant has obtained a patent and has identified possible infringers in the marketplace, the question becomes what to do next. One of the most obvious steps is to contact the infringer by letter.
Expediting patent application examination at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office

Christina Courtin: Endlessly Effervescent
'Foreign Country' by Christina Courtin
According to legend, Christina Courtin is the new Norah Jones, which basically means she's a mild-mannered, New York-based chanteuse whose debut disc is prone to outbreaks of winsome country-jazz. A Juilliard-trained violinist with a fondness for Led Zeppelin, Courtin is a more eccentric song stylist than Jones, but she's less quirky than her next natural analog, Regina Spektor, who's been known to make dolphin noises in songs that aren't necessarily about dolphins.
Thursday's Pick
- Song: "Foreign Country"
- Artist: Christina Courtin
- CD: Christina Courtin
- Genre: Folk-Pop
Courtin's self-titled debut is mercilessly charming, a conflation of sweet and sad that manages the neat (and difficult) trick of being endlessly effervescent without inducing tooth decay. "Foreign Country" is its best moment, a weightless bit of meringue that sounds like the happiest not-quite-love song of the year.
The song is twinkly, jaunty and blithe; if it were any airier, it would ascend to the heavens of its own accord, like an unmoored helium balloon. Based on the slenderest, most worn-out of premises — Do you like me? How much? — it's yelpy and adorable and suggests an intriguing future for Courtin, who tosses off the song's central question ("If I was a foreign country / would you come visit me?") while sounding as if she weren't the slightest bit concerned with the answer.
Listen to yesterday's Song of the Day, and subscribe to the Song of the Day newsletter.

Jet Airways Plans to Give Loans to JetLite
MUMBAI -- Jet Airways (India) Ltd. said Wednesday it plans to give 500 million ($9.6 million) of interest-free loans to JetLite by the end of March as part of immediate steps to keep the loss-making unit continue its operations.
"These funds will be enough for JetLite," said M. Shivkumar, senior vice president in charge of finance at Jet Airways. "The environment is improving now and we expect higher yields in the coming months to generate the additional requirement of cash," he said, referring to December and January, when extended holidays lead to a rise in travel.
The decision to provide financial support to JetLite follows remarks from Jet's auditors that the carrier needs to raise money to fulfil its obligations and also fund JetLite, whose net worth has eroded.
Auditors Deloitte Haskins & Sells and Chaturvedi & Shah said in their limited review of Jet's July-September results that raising funds was vital if the airline's accounts in the future are to be prepared on a "going concern" basis, which refers to a company's ability to generate enough funds to stay operational.
Jet Airways, India's biggest airline by market share, had infused 16.45 billion rupees as equity and an additional 14.14 billion rupees as loans to JetLite until the end of September.
Jet's financial troubles reflect wider issues in India's aviation industry where all airlines except one--low-fare carrier Indigo--are incurring losses. Airlines have been hit by high fuel prices, mounting interest costs, a falling rupee as well as fierce competition that isn't allowing them to fully pass on the higher costs to customers.
Rashes Shah, an analyst with ICICI Securities Ltd., said Jet can, for the time being, withstand challenges in the industry but "will be in trouble if the negative environment sustains for more than a year."
Jet Airways's Shivkumar said also that a planned institutional share placement, through which Jet aimed to raise $400 million, won't happen anytime soon. But he added that Jet plans to sell and leaseback more planes in the next six months to generate cash.
The airline has a fleet of 100 planes, of which it owns 40, with the remainder on lease.
It can fetch up to $300 million as profit from the sale and leaseback of the 40 planes, Mr. Shivkumar said, but added that Jet would prefer to own some planes to keep some assets on its balance sheet.
He said also that Jet has to repay 15 billion rupees of debt by the end of March. Of this, 6 billion rupees is short-term debt, part of which Jet may refinance.
JetLite was formed in 2007 after Jet acquired Sahara Airlines Ltd. and turned it into a budget carrier. The unit incurred a loss of 1.07 billion rupees in the financial year ended March 31, 2011.
Jet Airways, whose shares have lost two-thirds of their value in 2011, posted a net loss of 7.14 billion rupees in the July-September quarter, compared with a year-earlier net profit of 124 million rupees.

In Reply.—The differential diagnosis of osteomyelitis v septic arthritis is not as obvious or absolute as Dr Green perceives it to be.
The patients described in my study were initially seen and followed up by staff physicians in the Divisions of Pediatric Orthopedics and Pediatric Infectious Disease, Louisiana State University School of Medicine, Shreveport. After examining all clinical and laboratory data, plus personally performing the shoulder taps, their specific diagnosis was primary osteomyelitis. I have no reason to question their diagnostic ability.
Some of the factors used in the diagnosis included the following: the lack of pain on joint movement, the lack of initial local swelling or erythema, a positive blood culture, an insignificant leukocytosis, positive bone scans on day 2 of the illness, and abnormal roentgenographic findings between days 7 and 11 of the clinical illness. These criteria are all compatible with a "benign form" of osteomyelitis in

My on-screen volume meter has just stopped working.
I have a HP DV7 Entertainment laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. Up until about a week ago everytihng was working just fine when I adjusted the volume from the keyboard control. The volume would raise, lower or mute with the keys along with an on-screen display indicating the current level the volume is set to. But now thw on-screen display is not functioning. The volume will still raise, lower, or mute with tthe button presses, but just the on-screen does not work. I dont know what I did, but maybe it had something to do with a new Windows theme that I changed to, because I noticed it not functioning along the same time i changed that. i changed back to the original theme that was set before and restarted, but still nothing. How do I get this display back?
Re: My on-screen volume meter has just stopped working.
Did you ever get an answer to your problem? I have the exact same PC and the exact same problem. Online Chat Help told me to uninstall MediaSmart and reinstall it but my system cam preloaded with that software and it's a hassle to get set up on the server and everything so I don't want to do that. It doesn't seem like such drastic measures should be necessary for such a small thing. Did you ever get your volume meter to display again when you used the keyboard controls?

Doesn't work/display on WP 3.5. Just shows the meta box's title and won't allow it to expand down.
Doesn't work/display on WP 3.5. Just shows the meta box's title and won't allow it to expand down.
prior to WP 3.5: http://screencast.com/t/pzM0W5EAu
broken in WP 3.5: http://screencast.com/t/5e35bZPX4Llb
However, I don't see any WP_DEBUG errors.
Thank you.
care to test it on a clean wordpress install? I don't see any problem on my 3.5 test site just yet, so it could be due to one of your plugins.
I have confirmed it works on fresh WP 3.5. Sorry about that.
On the site those screenshots are from, I figured out a few things:
- switching from Flash to HTML uploader didn't help
- upgrading to newest version didn't help
- turned out to be the "Installer" plugin ( http://wp-compatibility.com/installer-plugin/ ) that wp-types recommends. I've reported it to them.
Thanks for the support.
it wasn't that plugin; it was a different one. debugging stinks. thanks.
Hi David
I also have an issue with 3.5, it's a new install and there are no other plugins. Faster image insert is active, but the wp default uploader always starts when I hit the media/insert button........ any ideas?
I can give you temporary access to my installation if that would help.
Graham Morgan
I see it's also not working on my other site, same thing again, the default WP uploader is called.
Again,I can give you temporary access if you like.
Many thanks
Graham Morgan
You should be using the Faster Image Insert metabox (below main editor), not the default media button (we left it there so you can still use wordpress built-in function).
If you cannot find the metabox below editor, go to top-right of the screen and find "screen options", make sure "Faster Insert" checkbox is ticked.
If there are problems within the metabox, post some screenshots to illustrate the issue and let us know your steps of reproduction.
Hi David
Damn I'm thick sometimes, always check the basic stuff first!!!
Many thanks
........actually I think the meta box wouldn't show, I un-installed Faster Image and reinstalled the wp upgrade... then put Faster Image back. The box then showed up by default.
All good either way.

Nanosecond T-Jump Experiment in Poly(glutamic acid): A Circular Dichroism Study

AbstractPoly(glutamic acid) has been studied with a nanosecond T-jump experiment. A new experimental set-up based on the frequency-quadrupling of an 82 MHz Titanium-Sapphire laser allows rapid CD measurements to be performed. Combining time-resolved absorption and circular dichroism at 204 and 220 nm, we are able to measure precisely the unfolding relaxation time as well as the helical fraction evolution. We show that only CD at 220 nm is relevant to observe the unfolding of an alpha helix whereas no change is observed for CD at 204 nm. Conversely, both absorptions yield information on the dynamics of the process.

In the latest violence against Christians in the Middle East, seven Egyptian Coptics have been found executed on a beach near Benghazi.
Uganda's president has defied Obama and other pro-gay Western nations, signing a law that stiffens penalties for homosexual behavior.
On Friday morning, as Egypt approached the January 25 anniversary of the 2011 revolution that overthrew longtime President Hosni Mubarak, multiple bombings in Cairo killed six people and injured dozens of others.
Preliminary results indicate that more than 97 percent of Egyptian voters have voted "yes" to approve the nation's new constitution, national officials and the media announced on January 16.
The United Nations and its oftentimes barbaric population-control apparatus are under fire again after releasing a deeply controversial report claiming that the African population of Kenya is too large and growing too quickly. To deal with the supposed "challenge," as the UN and its "partners" in the national government put it, international bureaucrats are demanding stepped up efforts to brainwash Kenyan women into wanting fewer children. Also on the agenda: more taxpayer-funded "family-planning" and "reproductive health" schemes to reduce the number of Africans to levels considered "desirable" by the UN.

Here is the slide deck I used for my Keynote at the &Connected TV & Digital Media& forum where I was invited by Connectica Lab in Moscow on March 5th, 2014. Due to current SlideShare limitations it is impossible to directly import slides in the latest Apple Keynote format, hence the need to manually publish here the keynote verbatim to complement the slides.
TV has evolved significantly. First came color. Then came choice. Then came the VCR that allowed recording, deferred viewing, and introduced external content (either purchased, rented, or handed out by friends and family) into the TV set.
Then came digital content and digital broadcast, followed by HD.
And only very recently came competition from other screens to consume video content: not only were they personal, they follow the viewer...
We now spend a full five hours and 16 minutes a day in front of a screen, and that's without even turning on a television (4,5 hours a day for US adults).
- What even does TV watching now mean?
- is TV video delivered in real time ?
- is Connected TV is just TV with Ethernet and firmware updates?

"When Kings lived in Versailles" Versailles by Luchonda
Versailles Travel Guide: 660 reviews and 2,417 photos
Versailles - about 20 km western Paris
Formerly an immense hunting ground ( les Trianons )
Actualy the most famous "Chateau" in Europe - Peter the great tried to do it better - but failed.
Some figures :
- Garden : 800 ha, protected by 40km of walls
- The castle has about 900 employees - 400 for security
- Yearly about 10 million visitors - especially for the gardens
- There are about 600 fountains fed with water via 35km of water pipes
- To realize this Chateau and dream of King Louis XIV, the invoice was
116 500 000 livres or let's say 2 billion Euro
Stroll around the fountains and admire the water jets, explore the groves while enjoying live music concert performed in the royal garden.Walk through the French-style garden in the heart of the 800 hectares - imagined by Louis XIV himself and created in 1662 by the King's head gardener "Le Notre", who took 40 years to bring it to completion
Detail of a painting in his private War room
Napol�on never intended to stay in Versailles ... but as ruler of France and pirate of the Egyptian treasures - you will find an obelisk in his war room and some great war pictures of this little, but so great ruler of France.Napol�on Bonaparte and France - the war room itself is very impressive and i liked the huge paintings fully detailling French glory at the many battlefields.
Another place in the private rooms of Versailles, showing the different battles fields during France glorious time is "The gallery of the Battles"
- Battle of Poittiers
- Battle of Bouvines
- Battle of Austerlitz
But i never saw a Battlefield painting of Waterloo, Maybe better have a look on my London page, Nelson - a name to be reminded
France and even European rulers at that time are watching over the King's sleep, politic steps and cultural influence.
Originally there was only one fire place in the room, the one one which the bust of Louis XIV by Coysefox is placed. The room has a marvelous view on the gardens.
Louis XIV and his culturale influence : he decided to reimport the marble stones from Italy never reimported since the fall of the Roman Empire
- Pros:Most famous Chateau in Europe
- Cons:Be there on the right time when flowers grow.
- In a nutshell:Nice place to visit

After looking at your photos I'm not surprised that it is costing about 135 million euros to renovate this palace and its gardens. Do you know if they are finished renovating yet? Could take years, I suppose.
You captured quite a bit of the enormous size and beauty of Versailles.
superb Luc, enjoyed the waters, Madame and the Staircase especially ..brought back so many good memories.and your right, the fountains looking sad without the water sparkle
Wow, great photos of both the fountains in action and the many amazing indoor marvels as well! A great page with beautiful panoramic outdoor scenes and interesting details on this most famous of Europe's estates!
Excellent page Luc and such beautiful photos! The working fountains look absolutely stunning! Makes me really regret not having seen that. I guess I need to go back some day :-)
Beautiful pictures and page. I enjoy Versailles when I was there. :-)
Aaaaaaaaaaah, Luc, this page brings back memories!!! Interesting to read that the fountains don't start until 16 h!!! Fantastic page!
yeah, in spring time Versailles looks much better. and working fountains. very nice
Luc, how lucky you are to see the fountains in full watery display! They are so beautiful, thanks for sharing!
