Les Rochers is an awesome place to recharge your soul and to be indulged. No traffic noise, no urban restlessness – the whispering trees and the chirping birds are the only thing to hear. I felt myself very much at ease here and appreciated the affection and the open spirit of the hosts. The two have built a hideaway where everything fits perfectly. They have combined the structure and walls of the old manor skillfully with new parts and created generous, cosy rooms. A feast for the eyes of those who love beauty and art. A feast for the tongue are the breakfasts, which offer every day a new surprise, as well as the occasional dinners on invitation of the hosts. And the icing on the cake: Despite of the manors remote location the wonderful sights of the Bas-Normandie are reachable in short time. Only one thing left to say: go there and enjoy.

My husband and I spent 5 wonderful days at the Grenier a sel! Our hosts, Liliane and Jean Jacques are soooo lovely and amazing! Having a great knowledge about Normandy, about the bests restaurants and places to visit, they told us every day what to do or visit, that was great! Our days began every morning with a delicious traditional french breakfast, baguette, pain au chocolat, croissants and the differents kind of home made jam, coffee, orange juice, etc. That was awesome and great!!! The rooms are very spacious and the beds very big! Everything was perfect!!!! Thank you very much, dear Liliane and Jean Jacques for your kindness, your friendship and for all the unforgettable moments shared with you!!
My husband and I were lucky to book this property in April of 2016 for 4 nights. Janine is a lovely hostess who made us feel very welcome in her home. The house took her and Danny 2 years to restore and it is beautiful! Since it was early spring we did miss most blossoms in the garden but it is massive and peaceful. As mentioned in other reviews breakfast was delicious and the homemade jams incredible. Janine recommended a restaurant at the coast which was only a few miles away and it was spectacular. We went there for 2 nights. The house is easy to find and the Normandy beaches are very close by. You start out as guests and leave as friends! Richard and Linda
What a beautiful, comfortable place to stay during our travels! Valerie was extremely helpful and hospitable (from booking, and throughout our stay). Such a friendly, down-to-earth hostess! Very French country Inn style. A narrow, winding staircase led us up to our spacious, clean and very comfortable room. Valerie made wonderful homemade breakfasts. We enjoyed sitting by the fireplace on the main floor at night talking with other guests. Hope to stay there again in the future!
un accueil très sympathique et chaleureux, un environnement magnifique une chambre très agréable et spacieuse, un petit déjeuner copieux et très bon, avec confiture maison . le petit plus un réfrigérateur ou nous avons pu mettre notre bouteille de champagne au frais . A recommander vivement. Nous reviendrons et en parlerons autour de nous. Un grand merci a Liliane et Jean Jacques . BB et GM
Warmth and charm! The kindness of Catherine (even prior) and Mick exceeded our expectations. The feel of family! So nice when you're are abroad!! Catherine is very helpful with all arrangements and suggestions of things and places to go! Take her up on John as your Normandy guide for the day..... Thank You for a wonderful stay at your lovely "home"!
Abbiamo alloggiato 5 notti in questo posto fantastico... Camera spaziosa con un bagno grande e comodo ma il giardino è strepitoso curato , fiori piante frutti... Janine è solare simpatica accogliente e fa delle marmellate uniche!!! Grazie per la fantastica vacanza!!! Posto strategico per visitare la Normandia!!!
Our stay at the Ferme-manoir de Cacharat, was everything and much more than we had dreamed of. Normandy´s culture, class and fine colours, all put into fine spacious rooms, with the greatest hospitality from Mdm Valérie. We were treated as guests of the home, but with a discrete line of privacy and served the best homemade breakfast throughout France. The sense of details and service during our three night stay was nothing but SUPERBE! À bientôt - La famille danoise
accueil chaleureux détente assuré on se retrouve un peut chez soi dans cette belle demeure
We had a wonderful stay at Le Roulage. It is a a beautiful place -- with tremendous gardens and beautiful rooms, buildings. Janine and Danny are great and friendly hosts. We recommend it very highly and hope we can return some day!
We spent two relaxing , comfortable nights here. Valerie was a charming and attentive hostess sharing information about the local area and loaning us her map. We slept well in a spacious bedroom and woke to swooping swallows outside the bedroom window. Breakfast was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds; home made yogurt, cake, preserves and delicious scrambled eggs. The guest living room is huge and comfortable and as the evenings were chilly Valerie lit a log fire for us to return to after dinner. If you want a special, place to stay and do not mind climbing a stone spiral staircase to bed, go visit.
We stayed three nights at Le Roulage during our visit to Normandy. Janine and Danny are wonderful hosts, our time there exceeded our expectations in every way. We enjoyed strolling through Danny's gorgeous garden and visiting with Janine each morning over croissants and homemade jam (which was delicious). The rooms are quiet and the house peaceful. Spending our evenings in the beautifully restored farmhouse allowed us to enjoy the history of Normandy on a new level. I highly recommend Le Roulage if you are visiting the French countryside!
Highly recommend this beautiful B&B! This is the most charming country farmhouse and Valerie is accommodating, friendly, welcoming, and a wonderful hostess. We were greeted by a lovely fire and a warm smile. We felt like guests rather an customers. Her home was so inviting, we didn't even want to leave for our tours and site-seeing adventures, and looked forward to returning "home" each day. There is a large common area for guests and spacious bedrooms. Our personal bathroom (in the Linen Room) seemed to be the size of our Paris hotel room!! The bedroom allowed space to unpack, reorganize, relax, have lovely views, and a very comfortable bed. Wifi is available in the common room (not the bedrooms), and was fast for us. Each morning we started our day with fresh eggs, yogurt, fruit, bread, and a sweet dish of some sort made each morning by Valerie - the eggs were from Valerie's hens and the yogurt was also homemade. The bread from Valerie's local boulangerie was outstanding and the jams are made by Valerie and her mom. An added very special touch were cookies baked each day and left on the coffee table for us to enjoy. The located between Caen and Bayeux worked great for us - we also really loved the nearby restaurant Valerie suggested. While there we did a D-Day tour, drove to Mont St Michel, Bayeux, and stopped by Honfleur on our way to Paris. There happens to be a local WWII cemetery, which is a beautiful, peaceful walk away. This spotless B&B deserves 10 stars; it's lovely!! It is a place we will remember forever!
We loved our stay here in Longueville France. Janine and Daniel were wonderful hosts. Very quiet and peaceful after long days of sightseeing Normandy and surrounding areas. Janine put on the most delicious breakfasts with all her homemade jams and yogurts. Daniel has the most beautiful gardens all around their property. We so enjoyed it all. Thank you , Mike and Marty
My husband and I stayed for two nights with some friends at this B&B in May. This house is lovely, in a beautiful setting and with very good hosts. Although we were late in arriving, Vincent was very accommodating. The rooms were very large and well appointed. Because of other reviews, we requested that Vincent cook for us the evening we returned from touring the Normandy beaches and it was a wonderful ending to our Normandy experience. Other guests at the B&B were at the table for dinner and it was a memorable evening. If you have time, be sure to experience Vincent's evening meal - although the breakfast will illuminate you on his cooking skills.
We had a great stay here. Went to see the D-day area. This B &B is central to Caen and Bayeax. Very rural and beautiful countryside. The owner, Valerie is a most gracious host. She likes to bake so you will have a very nice breakfast every morning. We highly recommend this B & B. The bedroom is on the second floor with a winding staircase which we enjoyed but if you have a problem with stairs this might not be good for you.
It is a charming 1737 farm house that has been completely restored and modernized. Both Janine and Daniel were gracious hosts and make you feel at home right away. Delicious breakfasts with homemade jams made from fruits from their garden. Janine is very helpful with directions and places to see. The gardens are a delight. Daniel's talents in the garden are unmatched. A true French countryside experience. We loved it.
We were two couples looking for a base to use for our stay in Normandy. This converted farmhouse was a beautiful find. There are only two rooms so it was very quite. The rooms were very modern and the breakfast was fantastic with eggs to order, homemade pastry and fresh fruit and yogurt. Next time we'll stay longer. The only difficulty might be the narrow stairs leading to the rooms that might be a problem for older couples. Overall, we loved it.
It was wonderful to stay in a 1737 country estate. Janine and Daniel were delightful and extremely helpful hosts. Janine prepared our breakfast (with homemade jams) and favorite beverage each morning and Daniel showed us his beautiful gardens and surroundings. We can not imagine any better place to stay in the Normandy area.
I recently stayed at Le Petite Halle with my family while visiting Bayeaux. The place was perfectly suited for us. Clean, large enough, and stocked with everything we needed to be comfortable and cook our meals. Its location was just off of Main street, within walking distance to everything. Bayeux is a delightful and charming city, rich in history. I would highly recommend a visit.
Patricia was very helpful and a great hostess during and before our stay. She came up with passes we needed and the french dinner was outstanding worth every bit of the cost. Would highly reccommend it as a place to plan a Normandy vacation as you can see Mont St. Michel, Caen, Rouen and the beaches from the manior all are within a day trip of the manior.
Stratégiquement située en pleine campagne, mais à portée de main de Bayeux et de Caen, la ferme Manoir est l'un de ces endroits rares où la convivialité et le plaisir règnent en maîtres!!
Piccolo appartamento molto confortevole, in pieno centro storico. Il bagno molto ampio e pulito.
We stayed two nights with another couple and fell in love the minute we drove up. It is a charming old farm house they have modernized with a lovely garden in the back. Both Janine and Daniel were gracious hosts and paid great attention to detail - from how he restored the stone to Janine's embroidery and her delicious breakfasts. The jams were homemade with fruit from the garden. The table was beautifully set and made you feel special, yet at the same time like part of the family. Can't wait for a return trip! California fans
My husband and I stumbled into this B and B in a very small village without a reservation, and were so lucky to meet Janine and Daniel. They were very kind and generous to us, and their home was just lovely. It was very clean and nicely decorated with a very delightful garden as well. Janine makes great coffee, as well as jams! I would recommend this home to anyone!
We stayed at Le Roulage with another couple during our 3 day stay to visit the D-Day beaches. Janine and Daniel were wonderful hosts and made us feel right at home. This B&B is a farmhouse built in the early 1700s with a large magnificent garden lovingly maintained by Daniel. And Janine's homemade jams at breakfast were a delicious treat every morning. Each of our rooms was very charming and beautifully decorated by Janine. Le Roulage is 20 minutes from Bayeux but well-worth the drive to be in the peaceful countryside.
Le Roulage is beautiful home operated by two fantastic people. Janine and Daniel treated us as family. The airline lost our luggage and when we arrived at Le Roulage all we had was the clothes we were wearing. Janine and Daniel provided toiletries and gave us clothes to wear! They are great people! The garden is beautiful Daniel is a serious gardner. Janine's home made jams are a perfect way to start the day. We will always remember and appreciate the hospitality we received at Le Roulage.
Un séjour parmi les fleurs de ce magnifique jardin situé à l'arrière et autour d'une demeure de grande classe, les chambres sont extrêmement agréables, le petit déjeuner agrémenté de confitures maison, mais c'est surtout la gentillesse des maîtres de maison qui est la principale carte de visite de cette chambre d'hôte qu'il faut classer parmi celles de l'élégance et de la simplicité d'une France encore authentique.
We stayed for two nights in this lovely B & B enjoying a warm welcome, a beautiful setting, a gorgeous garden and a delicious breakfast! Le Roulage is located in a quiet village with easy access to important sites in Normandy. We give this B & B our highest recommendation!

Financial shares around the world were left reeling today following the spectacular collapse of Bear Stearns, with US rival Lehman Brothers bearing the brunt of investors' concerns that another lender may fall.
Lehman, one of Wall Street's biggest names, saw its shares fall as much as 22pc before rallying slightly to trade down 18pc by late morning in New York, on fears the funding crunch at Bear Stearns may be replicated at Lehman.
The bank's shares were sold heavily despite reassurances from Lehman's chief executive Richard Fuld that the Fed's decision late last night to inject more cash: "takes the liquidity issue for the entire industry off the table."
Lehman, which is due to report first-quarter results tomorrow morning, moved to quell the concern, saying that: "Our liquidity position has been and continues to be very strong."
Such a statement may fall on deaf ears, however, given Bear's senior management continued to provide such assurances until the day before it went cap in hand to the New York Fed on Friday.
Other leading banks also fell sharply, as investors in the financial sector digested news that Bear is to be bought for just $2-a-share by JP Morgan Chase. Citigroup was off $1.58 at $18.20, while Goldman Sachs fell $9.36 to $147.50.
The wider impact led to the Dow Jones Industrial Average opening down 190 points, although it had rallied to trade down just 28.90 at 11,992.19 by mid-morning in New York.
President George W Bush also sought to reassure markets, saying the U.S. is "on top of the situation." "One thing is for certain, we're in challenging times," he went on, adding that the Fed "has moved quickly to bring order to the financial markets."
In London, the FTSE 100 came under pressure as a series of British banks also suffered, off 140.40 at 5,491.30. HBOS, the owner of Halifax, and Alliance & Leicester, over which there have been funding concerns since Northern Rock's near-collapse last autumn, were the main casualties.
HBOS shares tumbled 11pc by mid-morning. Only A&L fared worse, with a 12pc fall. British lenders rushed to borrow £23.6bn from the Bank of England this morning as panic gripped the sector in the wake of the Bear Stearns crisis.
To calm the markets following Bear's liquidity problems, the Bank took the unscheduled move of putting up for auction £5bn of short-term money.
- Experts urge investors not to panic
- Bear Stearns debacle to hit UK mortgages
- Dollar slumps as Fed steps up action
The three-day money was nearly five times oversubscribed, the Bank said, with just 21pc of bidders receiving the funds.
The Bank said in a statement ahead of the operation: "This action is being taken in response to conditions in the short-term money markets this morning. The bank will take actions to ensure that the overnight rate is close to bank rate. Along with other central banks, the Bank of England is closely monitoring market conditions."
Prime Minister Gordon Brown's spokesman Michael Ellam said: "As you would expect, the tripartite authorities here in the UK – the Bank of England, the Treasury and the Financial Services Authority – have been in contact with their counterparts over the weekend and are continuing to closer monitor developments."

Lee Waagner Named to FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List
Federal Bureau of Investigation today placed Clayton Lee
Waagner, a convicted felon, on its "Ten Most Wanted
Fugitives" list. Waagner is also one of the United
States Marshals Service's "Fifteen Most Wanted Fugitives".
He is being sought for escaping from federal custody in
Illinois, bank robbery in Pennsylvania, federal firearms
violations in Tennessee, and carjacking in Mississippi.
This case is being investigated jointly by the FBI, the
United States Marshals Service, as well as state and local
law enforcement agencies. Waagner should be considered
armed and extremely dangerous.
February 22, 2001, Clayton Lee Waagner escaped from the
DeWitt County Jail in Clinton, Illinois, where he was
awaiting sentencing after having been convicted on federal
weapons and stolen motor vehicle charges. He then allegedly
robbed a bank in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in May of 2001.
In addition, Waagner is also suspected of other bank robberies
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. On September 7, 2001,
after Waagner's involvement in a traffic accident in Memphis,
Tennessee, authorities recovered law enforcement-type
equipment, anti-abortion literature, and weapons, allegedly
belonging to Waagner. Later that day, Waagner allegedly
carjacked an elderly victim at gunpoint near a casino
in Robinsonville, Mississippi. The victim was released
approximately two hours later, however the vehicle, a
1995 burgundy Ford Econoline van with Tennessee license
plates reading BAE110, has not been recovered.
is described as a White male, 6'1", 175 to 220 pounds,
with brown hair and green eyes. He was born in North Dakota
on August 25, 1956, and uses numerous aliases. Due to
possible frostbite injuries suffered during his escape
on his hand and toes, Waagner may have limited use of
his left hand and may, at times, walk with a limp. He
is known to be pro-life and has, in the past, allegedly
made threats against abortion clinics and doctors. He
has survivalist skills and may be heavily armed.
Lee Waagner is the 467th person to be placed on the FBI's
"Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list, which began
in 1950. Since then, 438 fugitives have been apprehended
or located, 140 of them as a result of citizen cooperation.
reward of up to $50,000 is being offered for any information
leading directly to the arrest of Clayton Lee Waagner.
Individuals with information concerning Clayton Lee Waagner
should take no action themselves, but instead immediately
contact the nearest office of the FBI, United States Marshals
Service, or local law enforcement agency. For any possible
sighting outside the United States, contact the nearest
U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
information about Clayton Lee Waagner, including his wanted
poster, is available on the FBI's Internet Home Page.
The FBI's Internet Home Page address is: http://www.fbi.gov.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.7. Today I created a new user account, and moved everything under my own user account to my new one, and did a command:
sudo chown -R [new_user_name] /Applications
sudo chown -R [new_user_name] [old_documents's_directory]
Then I found that lots of program having error in running. For example, my XAMPP simply cannot load the phpmyadmin page (this got resolved after I reinstall XAMPP). I think this is the problem with user permission: when I did the "chown -R", I also changed the program-owned-file to be under my username.
But I don't want to reinstall all the program I have. Is there a way to know the old owner of my program-owned-file so that I can change them back?
Thanks :)

* Nikkei down 0.1 pct, Topix up 0.2 pct * Dollar hits 9-mth high vs yen * Index may hover at futures and options settlement price * BOJ tankan sours mood - trader * Charts indicate market is 'overbought' - analysts * Some correction may be seen after election - trader By Ayai Tomisawa TOKYO, Dec 14 Japan's Nikkei share average edged down on Friday as investors adjusted their positions before Sunday's election amid chart signals that the market is 'overbought', while poor corporate sentiment also soured the mood. At the midday break, the Nikkei shed 0.1 percent to 9,734.09 after closing at its highest level since April 5 on Thursday. Market players said the Nikkei was likely to hover around 9,720.36 for the day, the settlement price of Nikkei futures and options contracts expiring in December. The closely watched settlement price, known in Japan as the special quotation, or "SQ", is calculated from the opening prices of the 225 shares in the Nikkei average on the second Friday of the month. Some exporters, which were big gainers in the previous day, trimmed early losses towards the midday break as the dollar hit a nine-month high against the yen. Honda Motor Co added 0.3 percent after falling as much as 1.7 percent in early trade, while Sony Corp gained 1.0 percent after falling 1.4 percent earlier. But other exporters lost ground, with Nikon Corp falling 1.3 percent, TDK Corp shedding 1.1 percent and Mazda Motor Corp dropping 2.1 percent. Hiroichi Nishi, general manager at SMBC Nikko Securities, said that some investors unwound their positions before Sunday's election as technical signs suggested the market is overheated. Thursday's advance took the benchmark's 14-day relative strength index to 75.42. Seventy or above is considered overbought. Also, the toraku ratio, or up-down ratio, used for the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, was at 123. The ratio is calculated by dividing the 25-day moving average of stocks that gained by the 25-day average of those that fell. A level above 120 signals an overheated market. Traders said sentiment is still positive due to a weaker yen, which boosts exporters' overseas earnings when repatriated. But uncertainties, such as the U.S. 'fiscal cliff' talks, could limit year-end gains. "After the election, we may see some correction as hopes for monetary easing will be priced in completely (if the Liberal Democratic Party wins a majority seat as expected)," said Naoki Fujiwara, a fund manager at Shinkin Asset Management. "The Nikkei may hit 9,800 but we still have concerns about the U.S. fiscal cliff and the health of the U.S. economy." Investors are worried that a combination of U.S. government spending cuts and tax rises due to begin in 2013 may tip the economy back into recession if a deal is not reached in Washington. The mood was also soured by poor Japanese business sentiment in a central bank tankan survey, which worsened for a second straight quarter in the three months to December. "The impact from the tankan survey is minimal on the market but it is not encouraging investors to chase the market higher for now," Fujiwara said. On Friday the yen hit a nine-month low of 83.74 yen to the dollar as investors bet on bolder moves by the central bank after Sunday's election on Sunday. Shinzo Abe, the leader of the main opposition party which is expected to win the election, has called for the bank to adopt extreme policy action, including setting an inflation target of 2 percent and embarking on "unlimited easing". His comments have weakened the yen over the past month and helped boost stocks. The Nikkei has rallied 12.4 percent over the past month, taking its year-to-date gain to 15.1 percent, ahead of the performance of its peers in the United States and Europe. The U.S. S&P 500 has risen 12.9 percent so far this year and the pan-European STOXX Europe 600 has gained 14.3 percent. The broader Topix index added 0.2 percent at 800.60.

I already previously added the user (I can't remember if I did this from the network admin 'Add User' or a specific sub-domain sites 'Add User' sorry). The user was sent an activate account link, but the accidentally deleted it before clicking the link.
I then deleted the user.
I am now trying to add them again but am getting the issues I mentioned above.
Looking in mySQL I can see the user name is under wp_users (with a user_registered date, no user_activation_key, a user_status of 0 and deleted set to 0). It is also under wp_signups (with a registered date set, activated date set to the same, active flag set to 1 and an activation_key)
Any idea how I can get this user set up again? I don't want to wait a few days for it to become available again (which I don't think it will do tbh).
I am happy if we completely remove this user and start again but don't know enough about WP or phpMyAdmin to know if there is a safe way to do this.

In a long overdue, yet surprising move, Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Economic Growth demands answers on Bernanke's exit strategy.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is demanding that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke explain exactly how he plans to wind down the Fed's massive portfolio once its run of bond buying comes to an end.In a letter sent to Bernanke on Wednesday, Jordan asked for any research the Fed has done on unwinding its burgeoning portfolio, which recently topped $3 trillion — three times its size in 2008, the lawmaker noted.Minutes of the Fed's January meeting, released Wednesday, showed Fed officials were struggling with when exactly they should stop the bond buying. Several members of the Fed's policy-setting committee warned that the central bank may have to begin varying the amount of bond purchases in response to economic conditions, while some warned that the Fed might have to halt the purchases before the labor market is back to the desired strength.Jordan asked Bernanke to provide all "public and non-public" research done on possible approaches to unwinding. The Fed must provide answers by March 5.
Dear Chairman Bernanke:...As the Federal Reserve System continues its bond-buying program into 2013, I am troubled by the corresponding effect that the Federal Reserve's expanding portfolio could have on current and future growth...I am especially concerned that the historically low interest rates brought on by the Federal Reserve's monetary policy have hampered economic growth by distorting traditional financial incentives. Younger Americans who have been working to save their income have faced meager returns in bank accounts slowing their overall accumulation of wealth. Likewise, older Americans living off interest-bearing accounts have been forced to move to riskier investments to maintain their standards of living. Most strikingly, by maintaining low interest rates, the Federal reserve has distorted the real cost of the national debt, effectively incentivizing the U.S. government to borrow and overspend. ....

Throat Cancer
Throat Cancer Symptoms & Signs
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Throat cancers may not cause any symptoms if they are very small and have not spread at the time of diagnosis. Sometimes, an area of irritation or discoloration on the lining issues of the throat is the only sign of an abnormality. Depending upon the extent of spread of the cancer, other symptoms can include swelling of nearby tissues, enlarged lymph nodes, trouble breathing, difficulty speaking, neck or throat pain, ear pain, painful swallowing, and headache. Pain or ringing in the ears may occur in some cases. Bleeding can occur from some throat cancers.

For example when I input 2 for num1 and 3 for num2, I expect to get 8 for the output as soon as I enter the second number. However, the program expects me to input one more integer, and I just input a random number like 242 and it still outputs 8, which means that it does not affect the result. So my question is why is there the third input? Thank you for your help!
#include "stdafx.h"
int Power (int num1, int num2);
int main ()
int a, b;
puts ("Enter two numbers, a and b:\n");
scanf ("%i\n", &a);
scanf ("%i\n", &b);
printf ("%i\n", Power(a, b));
return 0;
int Power (int num1, int num2)
int sum=1;
for (int i=1; i<=num2; i++){
sum= sum*num1;
return sum;

NEA Shame On You
- At February 03, 2010
- By Lisa
- In Art, Design
- 3
I'll make this brief because this could turn into a real rant. On Feb. 1, 2010, NEA (National Endowment of the Arts) released a 'logo design contest' call for proposals. On Spec! You can read their Request for Proposal here.
As a board member of AIGA CT and a staunch supporter of the arts for the last 10 years…I AM APPALLED. Here's the kicker. Despite requesting that "designers and contractors" work for free, the NEA goes on to state, "'Art Works' is a reminder that arts workers are real workers who are part of this country's real economy. They earn salaries, support families, pay taxes. Artists are also entrepreneurs and place-makers, who revitalize towns, cities, and neighborhoods – both the economies and the ethos of them." If that's the case, then why not actually HIRE a designer? Designers have families, pay bills, and "are part of this country's real economy" as well. Why not send out a real RFP (request for proposal) based on experience, style and chemistry, and then hire the best team for the job?
As a designer and writer working exclusively with the arts, I have seen how the arts community can work together and support one another. I've seen artists support designers and designers support artists…I applaud and champion this type of networking and camaraderie. Isn't the NEA a part of our community? One thinks not after this announcement, given by NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman at a Miami high school (you know about high school…that place where kids go to learn?) which blatantly endorses design spec work.
NEA…I am very disappointed.

This position paper by the American College of Physicians Task Force on Physician Supply examines expanded roles for physician assistants and nurse practitioners in light of projected shortages of primary health care providers.Meta-analyses and other literature reviews comparing the care provided by nurse practitioners and physician assistants with that by primary care physicians had methodologic shortcomings that made the data difficult to interpret. There were no studies comparing nurse practitioners in independent practice with physicians. Seven policy positions are articulated.

Running Time: 140
Director: Jim Powers
Company: Mayhem
Cast: Railee Dean, Johnny Thrust (I), Genesis Skye, Tommy Gunn, Ravin, Allie Sin, Brett Rockman, Katin, Alec Knight, Nick East
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Pro-Am
A must for fans of barely legal newcomers.
Jim Powers puts his own stamp on the new girl or first-timer genre, mostly in the form of more production and harder sex.
Scruffy looking teenagers arrive in the Valley to be greeted by a "New Whores" sign and swiftly transformed into slickly made-up porn bimbos.
There's anal sex in every scene, something you don't usually see in this genre, and the girls get ridden pretty hard. Katin and Genesis Skye, who have been around for a while, are quite accomplished, as is Railee Dean.
But well tattooed Allie Sin and Ravin, from Florida, who look like typical small town runaways, seem to find their new-whore workout somewhat disconcerting.

I have used a 6-pack cooler for over a decade, but I was working in a facility with a lunch room. I recently changed jobs and am out in the field, no microwave, no refrigerator. I leave the house at 6:30am and get home at 7-8pm all week. My lunches had to change to meet this situation. I got this bag, I can carry a full six pack of soda, a small thermos of milk, a larger soup thermos with soup, stew, or cut up meat, potatoes, and corn. I still have room for two sandwiches, two boiled eggs, a fruit cup. I also carry a Ziploc of napkins, salt, pepper, paper plates, plastic spoons and forks. With a little blue ice everything stays cold. My iPod Touch, work PADD, and personal pad will tuck inside for easy carrying also. People that have to work out in the field, and can't get back into town for lunch, this is the cooler to have with you. I carry my breakfast with me to eat on the way to work, and something to eat on the way home too (1 1/2 hour each way)
Strap broke and handles pulled out in less than a week. 5 quarts of water and my lunch weighs much less than 30 cans of soda. A single row of stitches holds those nice handles on - but only for a little while - then it pulls apart. I need a lunch bag that IS as tough as this one LOOKS. Very disappointed. Returning it.
I actually returned this because I was just looking for a lunch box for my boyfriend. But this thing was awesome! and huge! you could fit probably 5-6 meals in here. Very well insulated and the grip handle was awesome. If I was looking for a weekend cooler or something for multiple people I would definitely recommend this. But don't be fooled by the picture it is very large
Packed the lunch in the morning with a couple cold packs, the lunch box sat in the hot car and that night the frozen food still had some ice in it (12 hours later)
It is plenty big enough for my lunch and drinks keeps items cold 10-12 hours in 100* heat. In fact one of my coworkers saw it and now he wants one.
only draw back is the inside lining should have been glued, other than that it is a great lunch box
I am a competitive body builder that needed a nice cooler to fit in my car & fit all my drinks, suppliments, & meals. This cooler is perfect!
Funny I got an email today to rate this lunch box.....I've had it for about 2 months and just this morning the strap pulled away from where it was attatched to the bag as i was heading to my car. So there's a tear now at the seem. It's a good bag however i wish they would make the products so they would last at least a little while. Maybe use thread that won't break so easy under load. But at least i still have the handles to carry it by. Oh well....
Ordered on October 6th delivery date was set for the 14th at my local store,shipment verification was sent on the 9th giving me a NEW delivery date of the 21st . Picked it up on 22nd, got home and opened up a damaged cooler ( that I waited 3 weeks for ) don't know if it is a manufacturer defect or if it was because it was poorly packaged ??? Maybe a little of both ! Either way it's going back !!!
It's a nice looking "tool bag" lunch bag I wish it would've had more pockets on the outside with either a flip or zipper top to separate cell phone, glasses or other things and I would've like a hard plastic liner to help keep it square or in its shape other then that it's a good lunch bag
excellent. Keep lunch and water cool
This is a great igloo. The only problem was that the box it was shipped in was completely damaged and torn. Walmart should invest in better shipping products. Also I received free shipping due to my purchase amount, but they then shipped in 3 different shipments. Management needs to step in.
Pretty much what I expected. Does a good job of keeping things cold for a 10 hour shift. Was pleasantly surprised with the extra open pocket on the back, which is not in the item description.
I got this for my kayaking trips fits nicely in my kayak with plenty of cooler space.
Product arrived as expected. Looks great and after first use it seems to retain the cold very well. It's plenty big enough for a number of beverages and additional food items.
I would recommend this.
It works good so far.
This lunch box was exactly what I wanted. It is the perfect size.
I use this every day as a lunch box . Very happy with purchase

Barack Obama
Seizing the future?
Regarding Wednesday's letter ("2012 Election: Barack Obama can see the future"). The only reason Barack Obama can see the future is because we are allowing him to write it. Yes, Obama has every plan to "seize the future" - yours, mine and everybody else's. And it won't be a future you like. Wake up people. It was predicted many years ago that America would not be taken over by an invading force, but from within. Obama is the puppet from within. Are you just going to sit back and watch the show?

This is the third in a series of in-depth articles that I will be doing about the Orange Bowl. This article focuses on the less talked about matchup —Iowa's offense vs. Georgia Tech's defense.
Ever since the BCS bowl pairings came out on Dec. 7, it has been clear that the matchup to watch in the Orange Bowl will be Georgia Tech's quick option offense against Iowa's stout defense.
But what about the matchup when Iowa has the ball?
Few have talked about the matchup of the lesser units on each team—the Iowa offense and the Georgia Tech defense. Neither unit is bad, they're just inconsistent, and the Orange Bowl might be decided by which team shows up.
Will it be the Iowa offense that threw four interceptions in the third quarter against Indiana, or the offense that scored four touchdowns in the fourth quarter to beat the Hoosiers?
Will it be the Georgia Tech defense that gave up just 19 points to Duke and Virginia or the defense that gave up 64 points to Clemson and Georgia?
With units this inconsistent, there's really no way of predicting which unit will show up. It's hard to pick which will be victorious.
I'm not trying to make either unit look awful. Both are excellent when their game is on and both have extremely talented players, such as Georgia Tech defensive end Derrick Morgan and Iowa wide receiver Marvin McNutt.
The key for both teams will be to stick to their game plan, something that has caused problems for both. The team that can do this most effectively will win the game.
Iowa's game plan is somewhat unpredictable because it changes nearly every game. First they look like a run first offense, then they come out throwing the ball. But it's likely that their Orange Bowl offense will revolve around quarterback Ricky Stanzi.
Stanzi injured his ankle in the first half of a game against Northwestern on Nov. 7. By kickoff, he will not have played in nearly two months and will surely be rusty and nervous, playing in a BCS bowl for the first time.
The logical game plan would be to run the ball and keep it out of Stanzi's hands as much as possible. But Iowa offensive coordinator Ken O'Keefe normally does the opposite of logical.
Expect Iowa to come out throwing the ball, expecting to have a very good game with Stanzi back. One of the Hawkeyes' benefits will be the progression of their wide receivers.
At the beginning of the season, young wide receivers Derrell Johnson-Koulianos and Marvin McNutt were largely unproven. The coaches were worried that Johnson-Koulianos (DJK, as he's called in Iowa City) hadn't lived up to his potential. Meanwhile, McNutt is a converted quarterback and hadn't played receiver before this season.
But as the season progressed, so did both receivers.
Johnson-Koulianos—with 687 yards—is proving his legitimacy as a number one wide receiver.
McNutt made numerous big plays this season, including a touchdown catch as time expired to beat Michigan State, a 92-yard touchdown to start a rally against Indiana, and a touchdown catch over the head of a defender to tie Ohio State.
Iowa will also undoubtedly mix the tight end into its offensive scheme.
Tight end Tony Moeaki has battled injuries throughout his career, but he has been stellar when healthy. Head Coach Kirk Ferentz calls him "the best tight end I've ever coached;" high praise coming from someone who's coached NFL Pro Bowler Dallas Clark.
One of the Hawkeyes' favorite plays is a play action pass to the tight end. That play did wonders for the Iowa offense all season, especially against Michigan and Wisconsin.
One of the keys to Moeaki's role in the offense will be the running game. The backfield has been a question mark for Iowa this year, rattled by injuries even before the season started.
Jewel Hampton, a sophomore who rushed for almost 500 yards behind Shonn Greene last year, was the presumed starter for 2009, but he hurt his ACL in camp and missed the entire season.
Second string running back Jeff Brinson was also hurt in camp and was unable to play this season.
Third stringer Paki O'Meara was a disappointment and he ended up being pulled, leaving fourth string freshman Adam Robinson and his freshman counterpart Brandon Wegher to carry much of the load.
Both were pleasant surprises this season, with Robinson rushing for an Iowa freshman record 775 yards.
But the production dropped off in the last few weeks of the season because both Robinson and Wegher were battling injuries. But with both back for the bowl game, expect the Iowa rushing attack to be much improved from November.
So after this it looks like Iowa's offense should dominate, right? Well, that's if everything goes according to planned. And anyone who has watched Iowa football this year knows that everything doesn't always go according to planned for the Hawkeyes.
While Stanzi has made a number of big plays this season, he is also very interception prone, throwing 15 in just 9 1/4 games this season.
His decision making isn't great at times and it is likely to be off even more, having sat out for two months and playing in his first ever BCS bowl.
Georgia Tech's defensive plan will be focused on attacking Stanzi.
To win, they have to make the most of his bad throws and force turnovers. Even in his best game, Stanzi has made mistakes, but some teams haven't been able to make the most of them.
The Yellow Jackets need to take advantage of Stanzi's forced throws, but they need to pressure him as well and make him feel uncomfortable in the pocket.
They have the tools to do so with All-American defensive end Derrick Morgan. Morgan's job will be to force a likely jumpy Stanzi into mistakes. It won't be an easy task, with All-Big Ten offensive tackle Brian Bulaga lining up on the other side of him.
Stanzi may hold the key to this game, whether the winner is Iowa or Georgia Tech. The Hawkeye defense will do its job and keep Iowa in the game, but Stanzi's play may determine the winner.
If he can limit turnovers, Iowa has a good chance of winning, but if Georgia Tech makes him uncomfortable and takes advantage of his mistakes, it will take home the oranges.
And while the Iowa offense and the Georgia Tech defense may be the lesser units in the Orange Bowl, they will still play a vital role in the game's outcome.

Welcome! Never heard of this "tree of life", but I hope you track it down and snap a pic!
Hey everyone! Sorry I had to leave early and didn't get a chance to say goodbye. I had a great time and really enjoyed meeting everyone. I look forward to a spring or fall hang where I will be able...
If any of you are near an REI, we rent showshoes as well. Not sure exactly what the cost is but I'm sure it wouldn't be much for the weekend.
Just ordered a WL Tadpole for the trip! Hoping it arrives in time!
Okay, I've been convinced. I will be there.
My wife helped to convince me by getting me a UGQ Underquilt for Christmas! :)
Thanks for all the replies so far. I was able to get a poncho liner from my local store.
I think I will give this a try a report back with my findings.
Curious if anyone has tried this combination yet.
I am looking for a very inexpensive UQ solution and my local Army/Navy Surplus has poncho liners for about $20.
I can pick up this as well:...
So for anyone still following this, I have decided!!!
I am going to make a DIY No-Sew Poncho Liner shown in this thread:...
Bummer I missed out on this sale! I hope you guys do another one before the end of the year!
Hey Todd, whatever you decide to get I'm sure it will be great.
Also, since I hike with you a lot I hope to get an underquilt very soon as well and will be checking these ones out.
I didn't...
I wish him all the best as well but $80 seems pretty steep. I mean maybe I'm spoiled with my BIAS WWM that is only $50, but he even states that kickstarter price to be $20 under retail.
Cool idea,...
Package arrived today! Thanks!
Well, I did get ahold of Shane and he did get the hammock sent out. Unfortunately the ridgeline wasn't in the package. Shane was quick to respond and said he would have the ridgeline sent out on...
No, I didn't call. I honestly thought an email was enough. I also left a comment when I originally placed the order. Although, the comment didn't show up in my receipt so that's why I sent an email...
Well I sent out an email over a week ago and unfortunately haven't heard anything back yet.
Oh well, I was hoping to make my fellow hiking buddies jealous with this awesome hammock. Next trip I...
Well I just put in an order for a WWM on Friday, hoping to have it for a trip I'm taking Sept. 13.
I really hope they can manage to get it to me by then, fingers crossed!
This is cool! Never heard of the company before but I can see this being a very handy item to have. Thanks for posting!
I suppose it's nice to keep your backpack off the ground. Although I don't think that's an ultralight backpack by any means. :D
Thanks for the review. Wish I would've grabbed on of these when they were on sale.
I have hiked this trail 3 times and have never heard of this "outlaw" location. Will have to see if I can find it next time I am up that way. :)
This is very cool. Probably won't make it this year, maybe next year my buddy Todd and I will drive up for this.
+1 for this pillow. More than enough support. Some complain about the fabric being slick though.
So I stopped into my local Joann's Fabrics and picked up 4 yards of what I believe is 1.9oz. ripstop nylon to make my first hammock.
I was planning on sewing channel ends for the hammock. However,...
Thanks for all the suggestions so far!
I think I will tackle the Gathered End Hammock. This seems like a fairly simple thing to make and it can replace my ENO Singlenest.
Any recommendations...
I have been a hammock backpacker for a couple years now but am relatively new to this awesome site.
I am especially interested in all the cool DIY projects but am a bit overwhelmed. I am...
Very cool setup! I just ordered whoopie slings for my future hammock setups.

I have to admit, when the book was announced, I was skeptical that there was a need for another incarnation of X-Force, but at this point it has to be said: if youâre an X-Men fan and youâre not reading this title, youâre missing out on something special.
After the comic book equivalent of a stunned silence which comprised the previous issueâs ending, this one follows up on the decision the team made, examining the effect it had on them all, before pulling the focus in tight on Fantomex. When Deadpool is the guy acting as the teamâs moral compass, you know things are grim, and yet Remender manages to straddle the line between bleak and hopeful far better than the bookâs previous incarnation did. The team is doing awful things, but always with a noble cause in mind.
On this title, Remenderâs writing has undoubtedly moved up a notch. Heâs never been poor, but this is near masterful. Itâs tight, itâs punchy, and itâs utterly packed with strong character work and distilled ideas. It quite openly follows the tone of Morrison and Ellisâ X-Men, and as someone who loves the work of those creators, Iâm happy to see its spiritual successors whenever they appear.
The point where Morrisonâs influence shows most prominently is in the opening sequence, where Fantomex explains The World, the super-sentinel breeding ground that Fantomex originally escaped from. Although Remender does his best to channel Morrisonâs brand of poetic futurism, the descriptions donât quite hit the mark. And when thatâs what youâre trying, âslightly offâ might as well be a million miles away. Itâs too obviously Imitation Morrison, when it should be more transparent.
Thatâs the only real criticism though. As it happens, the story spins as much out of Aaronâs work as Morrisonâs, bringing back Deathlok, a character most recently seen in âTomorrow Dies Todayâ over in âWolverine: Weapon Xâ. If the intention is to improve Deathlokâs prospects as a character by using him in these stories, it has to be said, itâs working. All the marketing buzz in the world canât substitute for telling good stories that involve the character (well, maybe all of the marketing buzz could, but this wayâs much cheaper and longer-lasting.)
Esad Ribic also returns to the X-verse following his turn in âDark Reign: The List: Wolverine,â the story that this issue chiefly builds on. As before, his work is fantastic, clean, almost ethereal, but completely adept at rendering the crazier ideas of The World alongside appearances by Spider-Man and Captain America (or, at least, Deathlok-ed versions thereof.) The X-line is remarkably strong right now, but issues like this mean that âUncanny X-Forceâ is quite simply must-read stuff. Ignore it at your own detriment

If more fights happen before the Spokane fight, then so be it, but I won't fight for pennies. They give a good offer, I accept. Simple as that. You can give that to team Leapai. I'm sure Noel knows what I make for fights, so if he can get the funding, I'm sure I'll hear from him.
Until then, I'll be busy running a business in Spokane and managing my fighters trying to get Money Messer to get over here to help us out with it.
Chauncy, if you're feeling tired and over it maybe take a year off from fighting. Continue training without the added pressure of upcoming fights. It'll help you recharge. And identify areas in which you are deficient and work on them during this time.
You are relatively young and from what I've seen haven't absorbed a great amount of punishment thus far. It would be a shame for you to give it away without having fulfilled your potential. There's plenty of time to be retired later. All the best.
