Comments about Full-Size Play Yard - Gray:
I think this is a fantastic playpen. It is bigger than a Graco pack n' play and my 13 mo. twins are fine being in it together. And it is the best priced and most attractive IMO.
Although it is spacious and great for playtime, the larger size means it doesn't fit a port-a-crib mattress. And I wouldn't recommend using as a crib unless you add a mattress because it is not padded for sleep. The play yard is 43 x 31 and the mattress is 38 x 24. This leaves a 5" and 7" gap. I got a mattress that was also the Dream On Me brand, thinking if they were the same brand they would be compatible. I should have actually checked the dimensions. My mistake...
It does have an odor when it arrives new. It needs a day or two set up outside to air out. Those fumes can be harmful to little ones.

Comments about Full-Size Play Yard - Pink:
I love it, Im not sure what the lady was reviewing in the earlier comment, but this item comes already assembled and folds up in 3 easy steps. My grandaughter loves it and has been napping in it every day since I bought it. It wipes off easily and is big enough for her to play in. Plus the price was outstanding and its great quality!!

Comments about Full-Size Play Yard - Gray:
This Pack n Play is great. It's a few inches wider and longer then my Greco one so it's a great size for my 2 year old when we travel. Lots of room to roll around. I like the red and grey color a lot. Nice and simple. I just now need to find a fitted pad cover for it.

Comments about Full-Size Play Yard - Gray:
This thing was cheap and thats it, doesn't fold up, made of cheap material that has a weird smell and no padding. Wish I had just spent the money on something better, I don't need it much but can't stand to use it.

Comments about Full-Size Play Yard - Multi Color:
I did research on this item on other sites and found that there is a lot of people saying that it is hard to put together. When i got it out of the box i was able to put it together in minutes. I think it is easy and self explanatory. I like bright color and it does look better quality when you see it in real life than on the picture. The reason i gave 4 stars is because i think there is not enough padding but some people might prefer this way. However, i was able to fix this problem with rapping the bottom with the quilt and it look nice and makes it softer for my daughter to play and nap there through out the day. It is a good price and good quality.

promises are only forged in Black and White

we turn our eyes away from these mistakes
and choose not to look over our shoulders
at the wreaking havoc we left behind.
we engage in Girl-Boy whispers

2010 best movies
The top ten list of the best released movies according to vogue.it
It's time to review this past year, and so the editorial staff of vogue.it has drawn up its list of top ten movies of 2010. Jumbled and with a motivation.
Somewhere by Sofia Coppola for creating an atmosphere, a story and emotions on the emptiness in which the life of the protagonist revolves around: Stephen Dorff in the role of a Hollywood star.
Potiche by François Ozon for its irresistible irony with which it tells a modern story with nostalgia of the '70s, and not only, for its musical inserts and its evergreen stars: Catherine Deneuve and Gérard Depardieu.
Of Gods and Men by Xavier Beauvois because it unveils the humanity that lays behind sanctity, for the example of civilization and coherency it offers, because it pleasantly entertains the audience for two hours without any 3D, special effects or sex scenes. And because it makes you think.
Inception by Christopher Nolan because the labyrinths of the human mind and of dreams that the movie describes through a game of three-dimensional pyramid structures have an unquestionable appeal.
An Education by Lone Scherfig, screenplay by Nick Hornby. Because it takes you back to the British Sixties atmosphere and because every woman, just like Carey Mulligan, sooner or later in their lives have met a Peter Sarsgaard, and all men have dreamt about being him at least once.
The Social Network by David Fincher because it tells on the big screen the fascinating story behind the historic turning-point of the beginning of this century: Facebook.
Last Night by Massy Tadjedin because it shows a doubt buried deep in the human nature - to be faithful or to cheat? -set it in one of the coolest sceneries one can imagine: a young couple of New York's upper class (Keira Knightley, Sam Worthington), tempted by a bohemian French writer (Guillaume Canet) and a passionate colleague (Eva Mendes).
The first beautiful thing by Paolo Virzì, for the unforgettable portrayal of a woman (Stefania Sandrelli/Michaela Ramazzotti), of her exuberant personality, of her unlucky life and of her courageous death.
Our Life by Daniele Lucchetti for the truth and humanity with which it portrays the drama of the protagonist Elio Germano, set in an equally dramatic Italy.
Benvenuti al Sud by Luca Miniero for its incredible box office success that has shown that Italians know how to laugh about their flaws and prejudices.

As promised, I'm back from the eye doctor and ready to bring the far horizon into clearer focus, or something like that.
Having covered the Arizona Cardinals in the above-linked item, let's wrap up this NFC West chat followup with items for the other teams in the division.
Tony from Richmond, Calif., asks whether I see the San Francisco 49ers reaching another NFC Championship Game anytime soon, or if they "wasted their golden opportunity to make it to the Super Bowl."
They did blow a golden opportunity. That doesn't mean it will be their only chance with the current core of players.
The Philadelphia Eagles lost the NFC title game following the 2001, 2002 and 2003 seasons before reaching the Super Bowl a year later. The New Orleans Saints lost the NFC title game following the 2006 season, then reached the Super Bowl three years later with some of the same players.
The Eagles are the best example recently from the NFC. They had first-round byes and home-field advantage when losing those conference championship games following the 2002 and 2003 seasons. They combined for 13 points in those two defeats, a huge disappointment. The Eagles did not panic. They earned a first-round bye again in 2004 and finally claimed a Super Bowl berth.
The Eagles took a disciplined approach to building their roster. They promoted stability. They developed a highly drafted quarterback. The 49ers appear on their way to doing those things as well, so they have a chance.
David from Medway, Mo., thinks the St. Louis Rams might be in position to surprise opponents, stealing a few victories from superior teams.
"I think having Jeff Fisher will make the biggest difference," David writes, "and will allow the Rams to take advantage of opportunities that Martz, Linehan, and Spags would have squandered."
Coaches too often arrive as saviors and leave as inept buffoons, when in fact they were neither. So, I'm not going to take shots at Mike Martz, Scott Linehan or Steve Spagnuolo. Each dealt with different circumstances.
But if you're going to circle one game to test your theory, David, let's go with the season opener against Detroit. Fisher will have the inside track on Lions coach Jim Schwartz, his former assistant in Tennessee. That will work both ways, of course, but Fisher will have one advantage. He will have multiple seasons of Lions tape to analyze. Schwartz won't have anything on Fisher since 2010, and nothing on Fisher with St. Louis beyond exhibition games.
Beating the Lions in Detroit will not be easy, but you can bet Fisher will be eager to make a strong first impression against his old friend. The Lions went 5-3 at home last season, losing to San Francisco, Atlanta and Green Bay. The Lions ran up big scores against quite a few other teams in Detroit, including when they pounded Kansas City 48-3 in Week 2. Like I said, it's no sure thing.
Curtis from Seattle couldn't resist making a 7-9 reference with a question about the Seahawks. It was worded cleverly enough to catch my attention.
"Hey Sando," he writes, "do you think that Pete Carroll, now entering his seventh season as an NFL head coach, will be able to get the nine or more wins that Seahawk fans are hoping for?"
I do think Seattle will reach that level this season, for a couple reasons. The roster appears improved and healthier, for one. Having additional options at quarterbacks is the primary difference in my view.
Tarvaris Jackson played much of last season with a torn right pectoral muscle. He's a right-handed quarterback who relies on arm strength more than anticipation to complete passes. The team got to 7-9 with Jackson playing hurt and his backup, Charlie Whitehurst, offering very little in defeats to Cincinnati and Cleveland.
I don't know where Jackson will fit into the equation this season, but if he remains in the team's plans, he's going to be healthier, most likely. If Jackson doesn't remain in the team's plans, it will be because the team feels so good about Matt Flynn and Russell Wilson. And if the team feels that much better about those players, we have to figure the position will be improved.
So, by those estimations, the quarterback position appears to be looking up in Seattle. That should be enough for the team to get a couple more victories this season, I would think.

2 female molly's fighting help asap!!
I just noticed my 2 female molly's fighting. They we're doing circles around each other and nipping at each other's stomach's. I don't know what to do! Do I separate them? I think 1 is preggers, my dalmatian one, and possibly the orange one is preggers, so I don't know what to do! What do I do?? Please help!
5 Attachment(s)
Here are pics of the two mollys.
Do they fight constantly? Some of my females chase each other from time to time but the quarrels are generally quick. You'll be the best judge if you need to separate em if it looks like they're hurting each other.
No, I haven't noticed it except for today. Is is cuz their pregnant? Is it cuz there's no males? I'm just curious. Thanks!
Pregnant mollies do get a bit more aggressive so that's probably a good reason as to why you're seeing this behavior. As long as you don't see the target fish getting hurt and acting strange they should be able to work it out between themselves :)
when ever i have a fish thats close to birthing they are always aggresive...dont worry ...after they have there fry they should be ok but if it carrys on after they have there fry then i would advise moving 1 of them to another tank ...:):):)

Cons: None, highly recommended.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: OCZ Vertex 450 Series 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) VTX450-25SAT3-256G
Pros: Bought two of these to run in Raid 0. First one died in 3 days. Re-installed my OS on the second one, which is still running.
Cons: RMA'd to Newegg. Must've sent the dead SSD back in the working SSD box, because they declined my RMA. Since I no longer have the other box, I'm out $229.99 + twice shipping.
It's expected that hard drives will fail, so I can't blame OCZ. However, I will not be purchasing my next drive from Newegg due to the horrible RMA experience.
Other Thoughts: Originally owned 2x 128GB OCZ drives. Both worked flawlessly for over a year and a half. I will probably buy another one from OCZ to maintain my Raid 0 setup.READ FULL REVIEW

Andy Thomas is the newly elected president of the Local 22 firefighter's union.
The president of the city firefighters' union last week confirmed that seven of his members will face some sort of discipline because of their alleged sex involvement with a female paramedic.
The last time an arbitration panel awarded a new contract to Philadelphia's firefighters and paramedics, Mayor Michael Nutter's administration spent about four years fighting it in court.
The Philadelphia Fire Department and International Association of Fire Fighters and Paramedics Local 22 have promised to always be there for the family of Joyce Craig.
Philadelphia's firefighters union and City Councilman Bobby Henon have renewed calls for the elimination of the fire department's brownout program in the aftermath of a Tacony blaze that injured three union members.
Bob Neary and Dan Sweeney are smiling down on Kensington.
The Philadelphia Fire Department gained a new commissioner on June 14, one day following the retirement of the often-controversial Lloyd Ayers, who served 40 years as a firefighter, including the last decade as commissioner. Mayor Michael Nutter named Derrick Sawyer as Ayers' successor last month.
In the continuum of contentiousness between the Nutter administration and the members of the Philadelphia's firefighters and paramedics union, brownouts in particular stick in the union's craw.
Philadelphia's Civil Service Commission has paved the way for a Nutter administration plan to halve the number of paramedics serving on each of the fire department's 50 medic units, despite vehement objections from leaders of the city's firefighters and paramedics union.

text: DIY Invisible Floating BookshelvesAdam Pash5/08/09 2:00pmFiled to: Weekend projectInvisible BookshelfShelvingBooksDIY38EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink We've covered the invisible floating bookshelf once or twice before, but if you liked the idea but weren't keen on ruining a book in the process, weblog May December Home's got you covered. In fact, there's nothing special to their guide apart from the fact that they don't affix the required L-bracket to the inside of the bottom book. Instead, they just bought sufficiently large brackets and figured that the limited visibility of the brackets wasn't that big of a deal; having seen the results, we'd be inclined to agree. While we're revisiting the floating bookshelf, if you're willing to spend a little more (around $10.50, that is), check out the conceal book shelf. It's a middle-ground option that doesn't destroy your book but still conceals the shelf. Thanks funkydude101! Either way you go, the floating bookshelf is a fun and attractive way to put your books on display.

A civil rights attorney helps protect the personal rights granted to you by the government. When someone violates those rights, a civil rights attorney can help you make them stop these violations, or repay you for any damage they have done to you. Your civil rights are spelled out in federal and state constitutions and in discrimination laws. In fact, civil rights attorneys are sometimes called discrimination attorneys because they frequently handle cases involving a person being treated differently based on gender, age, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

Helps enormously with my multiple sclerosis-related fatigue. I'm able to function normally during the daytime with 1 tablet each morning- more would make me hyperactive during the evening. But this is really great product!
This stuff really works

53 years old and still wanting to please my partner. I started taking this product about a year ago and my libido is back to where it was in my early 30's. I recommended this to a friend and he says it has changed his life.

I've been using this in conjunction with Maca Magic for about a month. I am going to reorder both items and give it another month before deciding whether to continue it or not. I think there is a slight improvement in libido.

no effect for me
Posted by Reviewer1800309 on Dec 27, 2012
Took 2 tablets daily for 2 weeks. No increase in general energy or lido. Will not buy again. I am unsure if epimedium is not an effective herb for me, or if this is not a quality preparation of the herb. One star just reflects my own experience. Try if you want to, but consider alternatives.
Great product

This review is from: Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield Quad-Core 2.8 GHz LGA 1366 130W BX80601930 Desktop Processor
Pros: I've owned this CPU for over 3 years now. Purchased back in July of 2010, this processor doesn't feel a lick slower then the day it came out of the box. That's at stock speeds!
My last build (purchased around April of 2006) made it until 2010 when I just couldn't take it any more. This machine (built in July of 2010), feels basically just as fast as it did when I built it!
I imagine I'll get at least two to three more years out of it (pending hardware failures *knock on wood*) before I'm wanting to go bigger.
I'm still wanting to upgrade my cooler and overclock this champ, but so far I have no need to do so.
Cons: None that I can think of!
At this point in it's life (3 years) my old Operton 165 was showing signs of its age. This thing so far hasn't!
This review is from: ASRock X58 Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: It's worked for over three years now. In the world of today, that alone is a feat. But it's still churning along like a champ.
Also a shout out to my core i7 930 which is still plenty fast at stock speeds and my radeon HD 5870. Both have aged very well so far!
Cons: It still has the posting issue, but it seems to be a lot less frequent now a days. I have been shutting my PC off at all times when not using it, now that I am more conscious about the energy bill if you know what I mean. Maybe every few times it doesn't post the first try.
I don't know if the problem with this board was the fault of asRock or intel. I know that this chipset was intel's first crack at an integrated memory controller and I remember reading something about that causing all kinds of problems. Either way, I've upgraded to two eggs on this one. Which is still bad.
Other Thoughts: Do you homework, and read plenty of reviews.
Although I do have problems, this computer is still a beast.
This review is from: HIS iCooler V Turbo Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) DirectX 11 H587FNT1GDG 1GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card DirectX 11/ Eyefinity w/ Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Game Coupon
Pros: Over two years later this thing is still cranking out serious FPS paired with my i7 930 (stock) and 6GB of ram.
I play at 1920x1080 on my 47" Sony Bravia HDTV and I can play games at crazy frame rates!
Cons: None!READ FULL REVIEW

Now that the Olympic Games in Rio are close at hand I felt this is the right time to tell you a little about the Olympics in Athens in 2004.
In 1896 the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, and 108 years later I was present when several Swedish athletes made history in this mythical city. In 1999 I visited Olympia on the Peloponnese peninsula, where the Olympic Games were held every four years from 776 BC to 393 AD. There, at the time, was for example the Temple of Zeus with the great statue of Zeus, one of the seven wonders of the world. The statue was standing till the end of the fourth century AD when it was removed. Today you can visit the ruins and museums of the site. In 1988 Olympia was declared a UNECSO World Heritage Site. Preceding every Olympic Games the Olympic Flame is lit in Olympia and then transported by a torch to the city hosting the Games.
Here the Olympic Games were held in 1896.
Athens is the capital of Greece, located next to the Gulf of Aegina and the Aegean Sea and surrounded by mountains, Mount Pateras, Mount Pentelikon, Mount Hymettos and Mount Parnitha. The climate is characterized by mild winters and hot, dry summers. The city can boast lots of sights and beautiful neighbourhoods. Before the Olympics in 2004 the city centre was redeveloped and the Attiko Metro was expanded to handle the transportation of all visitors.
Our preferred neighbourhood was Plaka, the historical city centre. That's where we mingled among small tavernas and shops. Next to Plaka is the market neighbourhood of Monastiraki where we bargained with the ticket sellers. Right in the middle of the square were several desks where Olympics tickets were sold and bought. There we could get hold of tickets we were lacking for events where Swedish athletes were expected to win medals.
Another favourite site in Athens was Syntagma Square. Not because it's the location of the Parliament, no we were more interested in the changing of the Presidential Guard in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The imposing guards perform a totally exceptional ceremony when relieving the guard … We loved halting there at night on our way home from the bars.
Relieving the guard ceremony at Syntagma Square.
Athens offered us fantastic weeks, in the morning we could go down to the beach for sun and swim, in the afternoons and evenings there were competition events and at night we had great parties!
A venue we came to love was the Holland Heineken House, a great party area next to the Zappeion building in the National Gardens. What memories! Every evening we were present in our wigs and matching yellow and blue attire …
Cheering on Sweden.
At the end of our journey we only paid half price in the bar for propagating so much joy … Several athletes and their families were there. We made friends with the swimmer Pieter van den Hoogenband's mother, so when she walked round with his gold medal of course we could touch it. We fraternized with Inge de Bruin's family, but above all we made a later Olympic Champion laugh till the tears ran down her cheeks .. We sang 'Devil in Diguise' for Cathy Freeman from Australia, poor her … But anyway she laughed excessively ….
Cathy Freeman from Australia got to hear us sing!
When the Holland Heineken House closed for the night we used to go on to a bar where Swedish fans, athletes and journalists habitually gathered. At night spirits were high there and the Swedish athletes who had done all their competing partied with the fans. Many fun incidents happened, some of which would bear being described, others had better stay with us who were present ;) A classic night was when the Swedish Women's National Team appeared after playing their last game in the tournament. That's when we danced round the floor in the company of football players, athletes, wrestlers, journalists and fans. A marvellous night going on until 6 o'clock AM.
Party with the ladies from the Swedish soccer team.
Me and my buddy then went home to our hotel to pick up our tickets for the canoeing competition due in the morning… At 11 I woke up lying on my bed fully dressed holding the ticket in my hand. I had 14 missed called on my mobile phone and definitely 20 text messages. "Are you on site?" "Where are you?" "Congrats!" "Goooold!!" We had fallen asleep in our room and missed Sweden winning gold in Canoeing!! I got real mad and started packing up my swimsuit making an attempt to get to the beach, but I was much too exhausted so I went back into the room and fell asleep again, incredibly disappointed. Not until 7 PM did we get out of bed that day…. When we went into town that night my room mate met a pair of Swedish big fellows in a restaurant. My buddy told them how we had missed the canoeing race on account of falling asleep in the room and the Swedish guys laughed. They asked my buddy if he didn't recognize them. No, my buddy had no idea, then the guys proved to be the canoeists who had won the gold medal!
Swedish supporters.
We weren't only partying, we watched quite a number of sports events, too. We watched the US Dream Team win over Australia in basketball. We watched Croatia win an Olympic gold medal in handball. I watched my first final in Women's Beach Volleyball. The US team won, and afterwards they have won another two gold medals with the same team. I have watched all these three finals and in Rio I have a ticket for my fourth in a row, let's see if USA will reach it again…. In Wrestling we were hoping for medals of the most precious metal, but even though we kept cheering and singing during Ara Abrahamian's final the outcome was "just" a silver medal for the Swedish wrestler.
One of the highlights of the Olympics was Table Tennis. The legendary Swedish player Jan-Owe Waldner played dream ping pong and the hall was crowded with Swedish fans during his matches. Waldner is considered one of the best tennis table players of all times, and his resumé includes one Olympic gold medal and six World Championship gold medals. In China he is called "Evergreen Tree". I remember the party nights with Waldner in Beijing in 2008, his popularity in China is certainly great! In Athens he progressed as far as the bronze match and there was an outbreak of chaos outside the arena when all fans were trying to get hold of tickets. I was lucky enough to get one for free from a guide passing me in the company of a number of sponsors…. Other fans had to pay up to 100 Euros to get in. Sad to say Waldner lost the match and with a great disappointment he threw his jerseys up to his loyal fans in the stands.
In the impressive Track and Field Arena we experienced quite unbelievable events. The atmosphere while waiting for the 100 metres final was totally frantic. The crowd stood up clapping their hands to Theoderakis's famous Zorba song. We Swedes could witness three Track and Field gold medals, and that will probably never happen again in any Olympic Games. I will never forget watching Carolina Klüft running round accompanied by the music of ABBA's 'Dancing Queen', wrapped up in the Swedish flag after her gold medal in Heptathlon. In 2013 I was invited to a dinner party and had Carolina sitting beside me. I had brought my gold ticket from Athens, showed it to her and asked her to sign it, just imagine how delighted she was! The day after Carolina's gold medal in Athens Sweden achieved more success in Track and Field. To begin with, we took our seats next to the Triple Jump where our Christian Olsson settled the final already with his first jump of 17.79 metres! Then we went over to the other short side where Stefan Holm participated in the High Jump. The guards were strict, but when they looked away we took the opportunity of sneaking down in the stands. And oh, what an atmosphere among some thousands of Swedish fans! Stefan was in trouble for a while, but after a few awesome jumps his competitors were not capable of clearing the heights any longer and the Swedish fans burst out in ecstasies! Stefan was so incredibly happy, running round with the Swedish flag! Afterwards the Swedish fans went for a wade in the fountain outside the arena, those are sights one will never forget! I had lost a bet with Stefan Holm so a couple of days later I had to treat him to an ice cream in Athens.
We had 17 marvellous days in Athens, and I often longed to return there. In 2010 I got the chance of another visit when U2 on tour made up their minds to have a gig in the Olympic Stadium. Me and my buddy Simon went to Greece and started our week by going by bus through Athens to the seaport of Piraeus. In the bus ride we passed several of the arenas where the Olympic Games were held in 2004, and many fun memories popped up. In Piraeus there are several ferries operating in the Greek archipelago and we jumped on board the ferry destined to the island of Aegina.
The Olympic Stadium in Athens, the Olympic Games were held in 2004.
There we opened our week with a few days of sun and beach before it was time to go back to Athens. We checked in at the Candia Hotel and discovered they had a most amazing rooftop swimming pool! Immediately there was a pool party! From the rooftop terrace we had beautiful views of Athens, one could see the Acropolis rock, and the sunset over the mountains was magical! Definitely a hotel to recommend!

My friends Tompa and Annelie joined us, and for some days we recalled our memories from the Olympic Games when we watched the changing of the guard in Syntagma Square and visited the Acropolis, Plaka and Monastiraki.
Acropolis by night.
When the concert in the Olympic Stadium was due we all got goose pimples walking in the area leading into the arena. So may fine memories being recalled. It was almost unreal entering the grounds of the Olympic Stadium. That's where we had reaped three Swedish gold medals a few years earlier. The arena is very beautiful and an eminently suited concert venue. 90.000 fans welcomed U2 and this was an unforgettable night. We had standing tickets and found ourselves too far back since we hadn't queued up for the pit in the very front, "The Circle". Those who were admitted there had stamp marks on their hands so I suggested we should draw our own marks, and it worked. During the band's final songs we were at the very front next to the stage. Bono caught sight of our Sweden jerseys and happily pointed at us. During the last song the community singing was so loud that Bono just stood there waving his arms, he looked almost stunned :)
U2 in Athens 2010.
Athens is well worth a visit, the old temples and ruins are awesome, and it's an easy way of combining sightseeing, shopping and sun & beach.
Sightseeing in Athens.
NOW it's time for my next Olympic adventure. I'm off for Rio de Janeiro in Brazil to experience my seventh Olympic Games. I look forward to watching beach volleyball, handball, soccer, wresting, sailing, mountain bike, track & field, canoeing plus lovely days in Copacabana.
Welcome to follow my trip on Instagram: lengan11
Have a good time!!

Nice & Monaco
Events! Certainly I couldn't miss the UEFA Euro 2016 in France. Five buddies and myself started planning this adventure together during the winter of 2015/16, and our choice was aiming at the Sweden vs Belgium match in Nice. The French Riviera tempted with sun, beaches and a beautiful setting. And then there was also the opportunity of increasing the number of countries visited, since Monaco is nearby. We had no problem getting match tickets and likewise there was plenty of accommodation available, so we started studying the guide books in the meantime till the departure. It might be important to have some command of the French language, too: "bonjour, bonsoir, bonne soirée …" I read about the rooftop bar La Terrasse du Plaza, the Hi Beach pizzas, the beach clubs and conscientiously made notes of the fact that bathing shoes are of great use … The last things I removed from my suitcase before leaving home were the bathing shoes, to reduce luggage weight. That was something I later regretted as I painfully stumbled along the scorching pebbles on the beach…
The beach in Nice.
Nice is located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in the south of France. The city is situated between Cannes and Monaco along the Mediterranean coast and many people take the opportunity of enjoying the stunning views of the coastal roads. If you go by air to Nice you arrive at the Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, located along the sea in the outskirts of the city. From there the city center is easily accessible by bus or taxi.
The beach boulevard in Nice.
I arrived in Nice late at night and my friends Tompa, Lotta, Johan, Jonny and Peter were waiting for me in a restaurant on the 'Promenade des Anglais' boardwalk. The strong resemblance to Santa Monica in Los Angeles struck me. A beautifully lit promenade with streets, pathways, beach and lots of palm trees. I immediately felt that I would have a good time, standing there gazing at the Mediterranean Sea in the evening with the light of the full moon being reflected in the waves.
Nice by night.
Behind my back the legendary Le Negresco Hotel was lit up and the famous pink dome beamed forth luxury up there on the roof. The hotel opened in 1913, and today it feels like entering an art museum in case you visit it.
The hotel Le Negresco.
We started Match Day with sparkling wine on the balcony, and then sparkling continued on the beach. Behind us was the Le Negresco Hotel and on our left the Neptune Beach Club. Pop pop, the corks of the fizzy bottles were launched across the beach while simultaneously Swedish cheers could be heard from the hop-on hop-off sightseeing coaches passing on the beach road. Swedish fans took the chance of touring the city and experiencing some culture while at the same time warming up for the game. The beach pebbles were hot and definitely uncomfortable to walk on if you wanted a swim in the cool Mediterranean Sea. Guess if I regretted leaving my bathing shoes on the floor at home …
In the afternoon we went to the historical city center where Swedish and Belgian fans had gathered in the bar streets. Naturally everybody was in high spirits and the fans tried to shout the others down while at the the same time remembering the importance of drinking a lot in the heat. We met many of our friends from back home among the fans and spent a nice afternoon in a wonderful setting.
Swedish supporters in Nice.
Then we were taken by bus to the Stade de Nice Arena, normally the home ground of the OGC Nice Team. Immediately we found ourselves in live broadcast in French TV, and Lotta was able to show off in an interview. It was incredibly hot and Swedish and Belgian fans began drawing their attention to drinking water in order to pull through the evening. Earlier in the championship horrible TV sequences had been broadcast from France with hooligans knocking fans about and smashing bars and restaurants, but during these days in Nice the supporters showed nothing but happy faces.
Time for Sweden vs Belgium.
My ticket was for the upper part of the stand but I didn't want to sit there so I fooled the ushers and found my way down to row one near the pitch and stood beside the drummers of the Swedish cheering section. As regards atmosphere this would turn out one of the best matches I have experienced with the Swedish national team. The drums led the cheers and the whole yellow Swedish curve could sing along in the songs.
The writer on spot at UEFA Euro 2016!
Unfortunately the Swedish team didn't live it up to the same extent. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the fixed star, had before the match launched the news that he would quit the national team after Euro 2016, so this might be his last game. Sweden had a good opportunity in the beginning of the game but after that Belgium was closest to having the ball in net.
But all of us fans went on fighting in the heat singing and clapping hands to the best of our ability!
The second half started, and the score was still 0-0. The Swedes were forced to win to progress in the championship so now nervousness began to spread in the stands as well as down in the pitch. In the 84th minute Nainggolan scored 1-0 for Belgium, curtain! The fans ran out of steam and the team never came back in the game, either. Belgium won and the Swedish players thanked the crowd and then left the pitch while the Belgian players celebrated together with their fans. Ibrahimovic had played his last game for the national team and walked off the grass with heavy steps.
We took the bus back to the Promenade and strolled beneath the palm trees all the time encountering happily dancing Belgians. Life goes on, when you attend heaps of events you get used to the fact that there are gloomy and fabulous moments, just keep a stiff upper lip, after all, we still had a few days to spend on the French Riviera :)
After lots of sun and beach hours we felt it was time for some culture. We had intended to go by train to the Italian village of Ventimiglia to visit their fair, but unfortunately there was a strike going on in Italy so our option was a 20 minute-journey by train to Monaco instead. In the heat of 30 degrees centigrade we strolled among enchanting buildings. The Principality is the most densely populated country in the world and the world's second smallest sovereign state. Luxury cars shared the streets with sightseeing trains and hop-on hop-off coaches. Of course we visited the legendary Monte Carlo Casino. For an entrance fee of 10 Euros you are allowed to enter the casino at daytime and view the beautiful rooms. No dress code applies with no gaming going on … We walked round, dressed in shorts and T-shirts beneath chandeliers, golden details and beautiful pieces of art, and it felt self-evident … This was one of the few occasions that I was not on the minus side after a visit in a casino…
Monte Carlo Casino.
Beautiful indoors at the casino.
Then we walked down to the harbour with its fine views of luxury yachts and "small" leisure boats… It's hard to believe that F1 races are run in these narrow streets. Furthest out in the harbour there was a show jumping event and I went looking for Bruce Springsteen's daughter Jessica, who was said to be present, but I couldn't see her. Most probably she was sitting in one of the luxurious lounges surrounding the arena. Strange to say nobody invited us in …
Horse jumping show in Monaco.
The streets and neighbourhoods were very cosy and defying the heat we strolled around in Monaco for a couple of hours before feeling the temptation of the beach in Nice again … The trains between the cities leave at short intervals and a return ticket is 6 Euros. A cheap excursion tip-off if you are visiting Nice.
One hour later I was swimming in the Mediterranean again, enjoying the sights of the Promenade in Nice. The water was pleasantly cooling and once more I regretted my leaving my bathing shoes at home in Sweden …. Later I also regretted my using a factor 10 sunscreen instead of 30 like my friends …

Oslo, Raiders of the lost bag ..
I woke up in the hotel room and drowsily gazed round … Oh yes, we were in Oslo … The headache was like an explosive pain after a merry night out and I started checking that everything had come back home to the room … Wallet – check, Phone – check, my buddy Tompa – check, Bag …… Oh, Nooooo! My bag containing asthma medicine, specs and my fine camera was lost, panic breaking out …
Well, me and Tompa had come to Oslo, for I had won a package tour to the Eurovision Song Contest. The capital of Norway has much to offer, culture, sights, outdoor activities and sports events. Further below in this blog post you'll get some hints from my Norwegian friend Mari.
Now back to 2010. The journey started with my arriving some time earlier than Tompa so I walked down to "Aker Brygge", a neighbourhood that used to contain shipyards and engineering industry, but now it is housing elegant shops, restaurants, business offices and residential streets. Aker Brygge has a central waterfront location in Oslo, and strolling along the marina and all restaurants with terraces is is a very pleasant experience. In the inner part of the bay there is also the Akershus Fortress and from there you have fine views of the city and Aker Brygge.
I went on with my sightseeing into the city center of Oslo and walked along the famous boulevard of Karl Johans Gate all the way to the Royal Palace. The construction of the palace was completed in 1849 and it is surrounded by the large Palace Park. From the palace you can admire the magnificent view of central Oslo and Karl Johan Street.
My buddy Tompa had arrived at the hotel, so I contented myself with today's sightseeing and went back to the hotel where we began the first party of our trip. When it was time to head for the arena where the Eurovision Song Contest was to take place we brought a bottle of rum just because it felt like a smart thing to do at the time … Out in the street we met a Russian sailor who did not hesitate to drink our rum from the bottle while wearing his sailor's uniform. Bad luck for him that we took pictures of the incident and that we happened to show the photograph to his commanding officer later that weekend …
At the arena we used the VIP entrance of course, and had fine seats in the long side section. There was a tremendous atmosphere in the arena and naturally we cheered for our Swedish entry to the best of our ability. This was the contest Semi-final and in spite of our support the Swedish entry failed going to the Final. We might as well set off on an excursion into Oslo's nightlife and forget all about the washout in the competition. We experienced an amazing and hilarious evening downtown and I assume we arrived back home in the hotel very late …. And then the anguish when I realized that the bag was lost …
Tompa remained in bed while I drowsily set out into the city in the morning to try remembering where the bag might have been left behind. After an hour's search I just had to give it up, but it didn't feel right considering the medicine, my specs and the camera ..
In the afternoon we went for a park picnic in Stensparken in the company of our friends Morten, Ulrika and Tanja. We told them about our adventures and our friends laughed till the tears came … I needed my asthma spray and didn't know how I could get hold of one. Then Morten told me that he had some spray in his apartment and that I could have it. However the apartment was quite far away from the park. Then Tanja thought of the fact that her father was a taxi driver in Oslo, and he might be able to go and fetch the spray if it could be arranged that someone could get it out of the apartment… Half an hour later an asthma spray was delivered by taxi to the park!
Tompa realized that we certainly had a number of pictures from the evening in our mobile phones .. We laughed heartily at all pictures but at the same time found out that there was some detective work to be carried out. We could see many buildings in the backgrounds of the pictures so it might be possible to walk round in the city and figure out where we had been with the help of those pictures … We also found a short video sequence from inside the last bar we visited, and there the camera bag was seen coming into the picture, and one could also see a white roofing above the terrace .. Now we had a promising task for the evening!
We spent a fun evening in the city center searching for backgrounds … We made considerable progress but we never found that last bar!
The search continued the next evening in the company of Tanja, Tompa and Ulrika, how many terraces with white roofing could there be?? We met two Norwegian girls outside the City Hall and told them our story about the bag. Jointly we looked at the pictures and the girls instinctively felt which way we should go. We passed the small square outside the City Hall where I had been searching ten times and went on into a narrow alley. At the end of the alley we reached an opening … and there!!! I immediately recognized the place and certainly the terrace had a white roofing! This was the first place I passed as I left the hotel the first morning to go searching for the bag … My mistake then was not looking five metres further to the right as I was walking past that street … I didn't dare start celebrating yet, any customer could have stolen the bag.. I entered the bar and nervously asked the bartender if they had a lost bag. – Yes, it's there on the shelf! We saw the asthma medicine in the bag and assumed someone would have a hard time now!
What happiness!! The bag had been found with all its contents remaining. Just imagine the celebration that night, and the bag was safely brought home this time ….
Our journey was concluded with a visit to the Oslo Opera House. The Opera House, covered with white Carrara marble, opened in 2008. Strolling round on the roof of the Opera House while enjoying the panoramic views has become one of Oslo's great tourist attractions. I was lucky to have my asthma spray and my camera on the roof …
Stroll on the Opera House roof.
Sports. Oslo has a lot to offer as regards sports and outdoor activities. Ski competitions in the legendary Holmenkollen stadium are classic events. Tompa and myself certainly wanted to experience that atmosphere, so in 2011 we returned to Oslo and checked in at our friend Ulrika's house, close to Bislett, another well-known arena in Oslo. Tanja also joined us and together we went up to Holmenkollen to attend the World Ski Championships during three sunny days. The weather was cold as we stood near to the ski track and the frosty trees beautifully glistened in the morning sun. The Norwegian people present took great care of us Swedish people and we were treated with food and drink although our own rucksacks were filled with supplies. NRK, the Norwegian broadcasting company, came up and made a live radio interview with me, I tried not to sound nervous … Suddenly a woman came running across the ski track up to us. She was the German skier Tobias Angerer's wife. We had made friends during the Olympic Games in Vancouver the year before, and it was great meeting again. Then the Swedish television company appeared and made an amusing feature about me and Tompa. No cushy job looking cool in wigs and Swedish jerseys, haha.
Tompa and myself like to visit events around the world.
Today's competition was a relay race and we had great expectations on the Swedish team. The Norwegian spectators were absolutely fantastic when cheering their team to a victory, Sweden was second. The atmosphere in the Holmenkollen stadium was altogether magic! A popular festival! If you are the least interested in sports a visit to Holmenkollen during a championship should certainly be in your "To-Do list".
We spent three sunny days in Holmenkollen which we will never forget. The Norwegian fans really cared for us Swedish people since we did not win any gold medal during those days. After the competitions we attended an After-Ski event outside the arena enjoying the views of entire Oslo. The fans were singing and dancing together in the sunset, those were marvellous days and nights in Holmenkollen! In one of the evenings I forgot my Swedish flag in a bar, but this time we didn't start any detective work the following day …
I asked my Norwegian friend Mari to let us share some of her Oslo tip-offs:
Oslo – the place to eat.
The Norwegian capital – Oslo. The winter is drifting away as the sun is making the grand entrance to greet the new season. On each corner you can see small cafés, bars, bistros and restaurants serving sun-starved Norwegians their first "ute pils" – beer enjoyed outdoors. But Oslo got so much more to offer when it comes to indulgement for the pallet than the beer. If you are one of those beer thirsty hounds – who really want a good experience when it comes to beer, I would recommend Schouskjelleren Microbrewery – it is a nice little brewery where you can have a wide selection of beer. Absolutely worth a visit!
When it comes to eating, I want to give you a quick tour around our capital, let you get a few tips and hints. There are many good gems to dig in some hefty soul food from dusk to dawn around here. Is there a better way to start the day, than a proper American breakfast? To do so, you should go to one of the hippest areas in town called Grunerløkka. It is here you will find the American diner called Night Hawk Diner. It is like taking a glance of the golden 50`s, jukeboxes, sassy waitresses, tin roof and barstools – and please order a tall stack of pancakes and Norway's answer to a five-dollar-milkshake on the side. True American style! You should make a reservation a week in advance I would reckon, because this is a popular place.
So after some strolling around the opera, the royal castle and the pier at Aker Brygge I suggest you straighten your shirt and visit the Teatercafeen for a classy lunch in historical Art Nouveau surroundings. This makes a sever contrast from the all American breakfast. Here you could order some traditional fine lunch, tea, or a glass of Champagne while you look at the people passing by, or all of the portraits on the walls- old singers, actors and writers mostly Norwegian.
When you first find yourself in Oslo – I would absolutely recommend to have a walk at Akershus fortress, this is actually a castle from the middle ages. Some of our kings and queens are buried here – and also a guided tour is quite fascinating if you are in to history. After a few hours, dinner is perhaps on your mind at this point. You do not have to walk far for my next recommendation – there is a nice restaurant at the fortress called Festningen Restaurant. It is rather on the finer side, but it is not a require to have a jacket. But the food here is just as amazing as the view and surroundings. The food is classical continental – and you have a good sight in to the kitchen, so you might be amused or impressed by their clean work. You should make a reservation.
To finish off a wonderful food-bonanza like this, there is nothing better than to taste a few fancy drinks – and I know where to get your thirst covered. A good walk up to Grunerløkka, through all of those hipsters-vibes of vintage fashion, small bars and bistros you visited earlier, you will find Bar Boca. The interior is authentic 1950`s and the cocktails are fantastic – so is the music and atmosphere. Make sure to order a bloody Mary – because this is the best one I ever had.
I hope you will enjoy our humble capital. Eat, drink, live in the moment and enjoy life! /Mari
Have a good time! / Lengan :)
