Shakespeare Orange County brings you summer Shakespeare in the open air with its production of Twelfth Night, the comic tale of two women mourning the loss of their beloved brothers. Olivia shuts herself away from the world, while Viola -- finding herself shipwrecked in a strange city -- disguises herself as a man named Cesario. When the two meet, Olivia falls in love with "Cesario," and the hilarity begins. Filled with Shakespeare's most indelible comedic characters and side-splitting situations, as well as plenty of song, drinking and dancing, this comic tale of wild infatuation and mistaken identities in the strange land of Illyria is one of Shakespeare's funniest and most accessible works.

I was EXTREMELY disappointed when I pick this set, I normally buy these bras because of the style. I bought a 36C from the store & I went home. I couldn't even clip it. I was like "what the?", maybe it was the wrong tag. Returned it, go back to the bra section, bought the same color (purple & black lace) this time I got a 38. I get home I can clip it, but I can't BREATHE. I felt like Ms. Swan from Pirates of the Caribbean. Literally felt like I was about to faint if I even tried.
There is something majorly wrong with their measurements. I've never had this big of a problem until this past month. I mean yes, they've been a little snug but still wearable. This was unreal. I was furious. Very hurt as a faithful Smart & Sexy fan. The quality has gotten worse also. I don't like I can see the stitching already falling apart.
I guess I'll have to start spending my money else where... :(
Very disappointing! There's no way it was the size I ordered (40D). They both were at like 2-3 inches SMALLER. At the same time as this set I ordered another similar bra the same size but made by a different manufacturer and it fits perfectly. I'll be taking these back to the store.
The bras were exactly as shown and seemed of good quality, tho. I would have exchanged them for a larger size if they had them available. A real shame.
Ordered a size larger than my norm at the recommendation of prior reviews. They fit well and were comfortable. Washed them and was going to wear the black one but discovered the strap was sewn twisted, The other one was made correctly. Have to email about replacement since it is not wearable. Fit well and are a comfortable design. It is billed as push up but does not really push up. It is supportive.
Excellent quality bra; I will recommend to all my friends
I agree 1000% with the reviewers saying size way too small.
nice, cute, I spill out over the tops. Its due to the padding in them.
I love the padded make me look even bigger altho I am already 40D
but NOT with these bras when I spill out over the top and look like a siamese boob on each side. Am going to try to sell all 6 of them I bought thru Ebay and tell people better suited for 38d than a 40d
Super cute bras, but they fit extremely small! I was able to clip the full print one together, but the lace applique one wasn't even close to closing. I guess I should have read the reviews before I bought these. Would have saved me $15.
I love smart & sexy products. They don't always have my size, but when they do, I usually buy them. I think they are just so pretty! They fit well in my size. I'm really glad that Walmart started carrying them.
I really like the designs, I ordered 38D and they fit very nice. Good quality for the price!

He moved on to writing for fanzines, organizing music and film events, playing music in various ill-fated bands. Calvin established , a locally oriented media outlet, in 1982. In 1993 Calvin founded Dub Narcotic Studio in which he has documented the work of the Somehow Is and Never Was, such as Mirah, the Blow, Versus, Built to Spill, Fitz of Depression, Make-Up and Little Wings. It has also been the incubator of many Calvin experiments in collaboration and self-expression, such as Beat Happening, Halo Benders, Dub Narcotic Sound System, and Selector Dub Narcotic. The decade of the double zeroes saw Calvin Johnson set into the world, acoustic guitar in hand, as a solo artist of musical platitudes. Now that the one-zeroes have hit, Calvin is busy preparing a new album for the new decade.

Black Holes
This category is dedicated to sites about black holes - ultra-compact astronomical objects that are predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity, whose gravity is so strong that not even light can escape.
Sites that feature material related to the teaching of black hole physics, such as course syllabuses, ideas for class activities and "teacher's kits".
If the focus of a website is on how to teach (how to design a course, what classroom activities to include), it should go in this category. If the focus is on the subject (for instance, lecture notes giving a general introduction to the subject of black holes), they should go in the parent category Black_Holes.
Lists sites containing information about the observational evidence for black holes (stellar dynamics, accretion disks, X-ray observations).
Only websites that focus on the observational aspects of black hole physics should go here - sites with a more general scope should be submitted to the parent category Black Holes.
This sections contains websites with simulations of black holes. Two main classes of websites are included here: The first are research websites dealing with numerical relativity. This includes all attempts to simulate properties of black holes that cannot otherwise elucidated, such as the spacetime geometry around merging black holes or an object collapsing to form a black hole, or the gravitational waves emitted in such situations. The second class encompasses visualization websites, which are more about pedagogy than about black hole research. They feature images and animations to let you see how a black hole looks from the outside, how one can picture the geometry around a black hole, and how the black hole deflects all light in its vicinity.
This category is about the study of black holes as thermodynamic objects (where the black hole mass is inversely proportional to its temperature, and the surface area proportional to its entropy), including quantum effects such as Hawking radiation.
Submissions should focus on research in black hole thermodynamics and Hawking radiation. The websites submitted be based on generally accepted theories and models (for everything else, there''s the category Relativity/Alternative).
Wormholes are hypothetical entities representing sections of spacetime that are warped in such a way as to connect two locations in space and time, possibly over great distances.
Submissions should contain information on wormhole solutions to Einstein''s equations, or on creation and use of such wormholes. Sites which do not have a basis in physics should be redirected to Physics/Relativity/Alternative.

Volunteers help clean Guernsey's coast of litter
- 17 July 2010
- From the section Guernsey
Volunteers have been helping to clean Guernsey's coastline of litter.
Families and voluntary organisations have been picking up litter from the coastline using gloves and plastic sacks.
The States of Guernsey said it wanted people to pick-up plastic, which takes up to 1,000 years to bio-degrade, to improve wildlife habitats.
The Guernsey Coastal Clean-Up is part of celebrations for the International Year of Biodiversity.
It is hoped the clean-up will benefit Guernsey's sea birds including waders such as Oyster Catchers and Curlews.
Minister for the Environment, Deputy Peter Sirett said: "Coastal litter is on the increase and we see a lot of marine litter washed up around the island.
"Anyone can get involved and all help will be appreciated, not just by residents and visitors but also Guernsey's wildlife."

Call (888) 651-9785
Loved visiting these places! Friendly staff and fascinating history, plus gorgeous gardens. The pass was familiar to all employees of each place, though it took some finagling to clear everything.
This is a great option because you don and #39;t have to plan ahead for when exactly to visit. It worked great for my family. We knew we wanted to see them all just dod not want to have every minute scheduled.
Having the ability to visit a different venue every day was great. We were able to use the weather as our guide.
Plan to spend at least a half day at Hampton Court. It is lovely and worth the 45 minute train ride. The Tower of London was my favorite and the Beefeater tour is a must and we loved John McDonald, our yeoman warder (Beefeater). Plan to spend 1/2+ day there, so much to see and an audio tour also.
To be honest, I only made it to the tower of London which was amazing. The tickets are good for two years do I can go back later to finish the tour. I like that this was not structured because sometimes it is hard to tour on someone and #39; else and #39;s timeline.
The Tower of London was Fantastic ! Definitely a must do. We were fortunate enough to get there at opening. We saw the Crown Jewels with only a few people in the room! Please be sure to take the Yeoman Warder guided tour. It was truly enjoyable. These gentlemen are incredibly knowledgeable and very funny! We traipsed through the rain and it was all worth while !
Love the history of this place. Well worth the train ride. Chapel is breathtaking.
It was nice to experience the old haunts of Henry VIII and Ann Boelyn.
We loved the this pass, its best asset is the flexiblilty you get to set your own pace
All of these passes were great and it was great being able to go when we wanted and at time was convenient. I would recommend it to everyone.
Well worth the cost to take the tours. It may not be clear from the description, but the tickets are good for two years.
had a wonderful time at the palaces
Hampton court is a full day, lots of fun for kids with many activities for them
Tower of London and Kensington is a days tour also
Didn't have to queue with this pass and all venues were terrific.
Personal favourite was the Tower of London. Join a tour with a Beefeater and you'll learn some history and have a laugh at the same time.
Easy to spend half a day or more in the Tower and to roam around Kensington and Hampton Court Palaces made us feel like we were allowed into a very special and private part of England.
Getting your passes before you arrive at the palaces saves you time and hassle. Tip: go to the Tower of London early in the day before the crowds come.
Were only able to visit two of the three castles - just not enough time on our calendar. Hampton Court was beautiful and quite interesting. Tower of London was very intriguing. Take a full three days and visit each castle for an entire day. This pass makes it possible.
We loved all of these attractions and would highly recommend this package. We were able to do this over 9 days and was not in a pinch to do it all in one day.
I had booked this incorrectly and Viator came through with no hassles and helped me easily and quickly. I am grateful to have booked it through Viator and from now on will continue to book future tours with Viator. So easy and prices are very reasonable. Just book early and correctly! The tour itself was great - glad we could take our time and not be in a rush. Easy to book and easier to get in to the Palaces and Tower of London.
This was well worth the cost! We were able to see Hampton Court and the Tower of London. THe card was great in getting us past all the long lines. The Queens Jewels in the Jewel Tower were a sight not to be missed. Hampton Court was beautiful as well and the gardens were gorgeous.
Really enjoyed all! I recommend doing one tour a day to get the most of your time spent there.
I was most interested in Hampton Court, and it did not disappoint! This pass was so easy to get, just show your voucher at the first one you go to, and away you go through the line. The Tower of London Yeoman Warders are great, so I would make sure to check into their tour times free and join in on one. We just happened to arrive as one was starting, so joined in just into the gate.
Augusta was charming and knowledgeable on the War Room tour. We were very pleased with our tour. Thank you for insuring that our tour left exactly on time. I was also very impressed how she stayed with us thru the entry to the museum to be sure there headsets worked well too
Great price, great tour
We used the Tower of London part of this tour. It was very good. The Beefeater that guided us was entertaining, knowledgeable and friendly. We will use the rest of the pass next year.
We presented the Viator voucher at the Tower of London with no problems. The Tower itself is fantastic.
Only had time for Tower and Hampton Court Palace. Both are excellent! Public transit practically drop you off at entry to both locations.

This article takes note of the improving Eurozone economy and looks at the undervalued European stock markets. An analysis is made of the Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (NYSEARCA:VGK). It is a diversified and inexpensive way to take a position in that market and it provides a high dividend yield.
The European Economy
Labor Day has passed and there was no Eurozone crisis this summer, an annual event since 2010. The European economy emerged from its longest postwar contraction. Following six consecutive quarters of decline, the 17-nation group posted a quarterly growth increase of 0.3% for the second quarter. While it is easy to point at remaining pockets of darkness on the continent, the largest economies are gaining ground and optimism abounds. The UK also appears to have turned the corner.
Market Valuation
What does this mean for the US investor who has shunned participation in the troubled area's stocks? Is it time to reestablish positions? I think for many the answer to that is yes. Compared to US stock prices, European issues are cheap. The P/E and P/B of the stocks indicate that they are inexpensive compared to their historical norms and compared to the US stock market.
The below chart is from JPMorgan's Market Insights 3Q|2013 Guide to the Markets, Europe.
If I may draw your attention to the top portion of the chart, you will note that three of the largest developed markets, France, Germany and the UK are cheap relative to their own histories and cheap in relation to the rest of the world and even cheaper compared to the US. A broader look at the European market, published in an iShares blog by Russ Koesterich, reveals that overall the European P/B stands lower than its norm, and at a high discount to the US market. The main points presented there are:
- Europe's economy is stabilizing. After six-consecutive quarters of contraction, Europe grew a better-than-expected 0.3% in the second quarter. While still weak, the economy - particularly around the core countries - is improving.
- Eurozone equities are cheap relative to US stocks. Eurozone stocks currently trade for less than 1.30 x book value. This is a 25% discount to their long-term average valuation and nearly a 50% discount to the book value of US stocks. The Eurozone market typically trades at a discount to the US market due to its lower profitability and larger allocation to financials, which tend to trade at lower multiples than other sectors. However, the current discount looks excessive.
- There is less risk that the euro will be dissolved. A year ago investors were reasonably concerned that the single currency may not survive. But last year's actions by the ECB, coupled with some modest reforms in peripheral European countries, significantly lowered the risk of dissolution.
The Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF
A description of the fund includes:
- Seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of stocks issued by companies located in the major markets of Europe.
- Holds stocks of companies located in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
- Follows a passively managed, full-replication approach.
The benchmark index for this fund is the FTSE Developed Europe Index. This index consists of approximately 500 common stocks located in 17 developed European countries. The below table from FTSE defines the number of stocks (called constituents or cons here) per country and the total weight given each country.
Four countries account for over 75% of the weighting. They are the United Kingdom (34%), Switzerland (14%), France (14%) and Germany (13%). The more troubled countries have a much smaller proportion of the holdings. They include Greece (0.1%), Ireland (0.4%), Italy (3.2%) and Spain (4.4%).
FTSE has three different European indexes the Developed Europe, the European and the Eurozone. This is important to note when comparing somewhat similar funds as the indexes perform quite differently. The Developed Europe Index, because of its constituents and their weight, performs much better over most periods compared to the other two as is shown in the table below.
As with other European stocks, these companies include within their markets a much higher percentage of sales to Asia and emerging markets than their US counterparts do. So, one gets the benefit of deep penetration into the European market and also exposure to revenue from emerging markets.
Listed below are the largest holdings of the index and the fund. These are large multinational engines of capitalism, established and durable creators of profits.
This fund provides an excellent means for many investors to diversify into Europe at what may be an opportune time. We believe the Developed European markets are undervalued, as illustrated in the Market Valuation section. For the income-oriented investor, VGK offers a yield of over 5%. While there are risks attendant in any European investment, these are somewhat mitigated by the large number of stocks and the heavier weightings in the more stable countries.
For a resident of the US, it is much more difficult to manage a portfolio of individual European stocks than it is a similar portfolio of US stocks. A primary consideration is the various tax withholding rates on dividends, which range from 35% in France to 10% in Greece and 0% in the UK except on REITS. Treaties provide some relief for IRA accounts in some cases, and not in others. Dividends withheld on IRA accounts cannot be recaptured for credit on one's US tax return. The IRS attempts to explain the ins and outs of this in Publication 901. I prefer not to involve myself in this, and prefer to have Vanguard pay appropriate taxes and pass through to me a dividend on which no foreign taxes are due. For me, and for other investors who hold primarily US individual company shares, this is a case where it makes a lot of sense to turn to an ETF for this diversification.
Morningstar Premium provides a comprehensive view of ETF alternatives.
IShares S&P Europe 350 Index IEV is the closest alternative. In fact, 90% of VGK's portfolio overlaps with IEV's. But IEV's 0.60% expense ratio makes it less attractive. Investors looking for pure exposure to the European Monetary Union might consider iShares MSCI EMU Index EZU, which only holds companies listed in countries that have adopted the euro. Consequently, EZU does not hold any firms based in the U.K. or Switzerland, which together account for nearly half of VGK's portfolio. Unfortunately, EZU charges a relatively high 0.53% expense ratio. SPDR EURO STOXX 50 FEZ (0.29% expense ratio) is a cheaper, but more concentrated, Eurozone option. FEZ rests on a narrow base of 50 blue-chip companies. Over the past three years, EZU and FEZ were 0.98 and 0.97 correlated with VGK, respectively.
BlackRock offers a suite of iShares products that track individual European countries, such as iShares MSCI United Kingdom Index EWU (0.52% expense ratio), iShares MSCI Germany Index EWG (0.51%), and iShares MSCI France Index EWQ (0.52%) among others. Although they are more expensive than VGK, these funds are ideal for investors who want direct control over their country allocations.
European economies and stock markets are poised to continue higher. Equities are undervalued based on their historic valuations and compared to US stocks. A very good way to get wide diversification in the Developed European Countries is with the low-cost Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF, VGK. I believe this Vanguard offering is the best in its class.

Privacy Preserving Collaborative Enforcement of Firewall Policies in Virtual Private Networks
The widely deployed Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology allows roaming users to build an encrypted tunnel to a VPN server, which, henceforth, allows roaming users to access some resources as if that computer were residing on their home organization's network. Although VPN technology is very useful, it imposes security threats on the remote network because its firewall does not know what traffic is flowing inside the VPN tunnel. To address this issue, the authors propose VGuard, a framework that allows a policy owner and a request owner to collaboratively determine whether the request satisfies the policy without the policy owner knowing the request and the request owner knowing the policy.

If the Twitter reaction is any indication, Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) may have cost himself a Senate seat with his controversial comments about rape and pregnancy.
It's not often that a U.S. politician makes a comment so unsavory that even members of his own political party are hesitant to defend him. Such is the case with Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.), who made a statement about rape so controversial that it has everyone talking.
On Sunday evening, the representative told reporter Charles Jaco of St. Louis's FOX 2, "If it's legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." The statement, which goes against modern scientific understandings of human biology, was broadcast on national TV.
It didn't take long for the Twitter firestorm to start. We've recorded some of the highlights—and lowlights—below:

Daniel Tosh is Tumblr's public enemy number one after an anonymous post declared him an advocate of rape jokes. But the comedian says his joke was "taken out of context," and some of comedy's biggest names are turning out in support.

How Harper lost control of the government and his party
So how's the mood in the party? "It's s–tty,†one long-time Conservative political staffer, now recycled in the private sector, said the other day. "I'm a Conservative, and I don't know what the government stands for.â€
The mood this Conservative described—on condition of anonymity, like other party members who spoke for this story—was a long way from despair. "The grassroots of the party is overwhelmingly behind the PM. I don't think that will ever wear off.†But the five-alarm gong show around Wright, Duffy, Wallin and the rest has made a lot of Conservatives angry and nervous. "If your whole message is that you're competent people,†this former staffer said, "it is harmful to seem incompetent.â€
For several days after Harper accepted Wright's resignation on May 19, the government could offer no coherent explanation for what had happened. Right up to the end of May the government seemed unsure how to handle the mess.
The chaos led at least one old PMO hand to offer his assistance. Several Conservative sources say that at the beginning of June, Dimitri Soudas, a former PMO communications director who now works for the Canadian Olympic Committee, telephoned the PMO to offer communications advice. Whatever Soudas told his former colleagues would have been mixed in with all the other signals a government receives from its members and supporters, but by last week the Conservatives were offering a more unapologetic defence of Harper's behaviour, coupled with sharp digs at the opposition parties. The implied message was: If we're going to be in trouble, we won't be the only party in trouble.
The news of the day fades from memory. Between the 2008 and 2011 elections Harper endured a steady stream of allegations and missteps, including the controversy over proroguing Parliament, the allegations about abuse of Afghan prisoners, and former minister Bev Oda's clumsy doctoring ("NOTâ€) of a memo from her department. Very little of it mattered on election day in 2011, and the Conservatives won a majority of seats in the Commons for the first time.
But Conservatives know the Harper government isn't eternal, and they have begun to wonder what it will feel like when Harper loses his grip on power for good. They hope the feeling they've had this spring isn't it. "You're associated with a certain quality, like good government, for a long time and it holds up under wear and tear,†the former Conservative staffer said. "And then one day it tips over. And once it tips, you've just lost it and you can't get it back. You've just lost that characteristic.â€
Those earlier uproars from 2008-11 often shared common features: they were of interest mostly only to people who work in Ottawa, and they tended to anger people who had never voted Conservative anyway. Conservatives were pretty sure a sitting prime minister should be allowed to ring up the governor general and shut down Parliament now and then, as indeed Jean Chrétien did on more than one occasion. It was no skin off their nose if Harper exercised the same prerogative.
But this business with Wright, Duffy, and a Prime Minister who seemed oblivious and has since seemed deeply rattled is different, another former Hill staffer said. This one described getting an earful about the Senate and about Harper's associates during a trip through rural British Columbia. The people complaining "were our demographic, in our geography,†this source said. "More than anything else it's our people who are upset. It kind of comes across as a feeling of betrayal.â€

America's suburbs are finally on the wane, and that's good for the planet, says Leigh Gallagher. People are beginning to gather in denser communities closer to urban centers, allowing shorter commutes and more efficient handling of limited resources. "In a way, it's going back to the way our prewar suburbs were built -- on more urban 'bones.' That model is a lot more sustainable," Gallagher says.

New research on how email readers interact with marketing emails
Those of you familiar with the latest email marketing stats will already know how important 'mobile opens' are. In fact, emails opened on smartphones and tablets make up over half of all emails opened over the last three years according to a new report from Yesmail. This research makes a compelling case for upgrading to responsive email designs, or if you already have them, for optimising them.
The importance of mobile email readership makes responsive email design more crucial than ever, because users expect attractive emails across devices, and are unlikely to click through on an email which looks poorly formatted because wasn't designed to appear on a mobile device.
Responsive design is key for boosting mobile clicks
Regardless of whether your emails have responsive designs, over half your email opens will be happening on mobile devices. However, if you don't have responsive designs, most of those 'mobile openers' will not be clicking on your emails. Those with responsive designs got 58% of their clicks from mobile devices, whilst those without responsive designs found mobile accounting for less than half of their total clicks (note the misleading scale in this chart!). This means responsive designs get a 24% increase in mobile clicks vs non-responsive designs.
How many are already using responsive design?
Despite its proven effectiveness, only 17% of marketers are using responsive design in all their emails, which leaves plenty of room for improvement. 38% use responsive design in the majority of their emails, so that capability to send responsive emails is present in most businesses. Only 26% said they used responsive design in none of their emails. These businesses need to look at developing the capacity to send responsive emails so as not to miss out on a large number of clicks and conversions.
Need proof mobile is the future? Just look at the past
Over the past three years, mobile click-to-open rates (CTOs) have been increasing while desktop CTOs have declined. The trend towards increasing mobile device use is not going away soon, and is likely to continue for several years. Customers are now able to do tasks like checking email on the go wherever they are, which saves time by using otherwise dead hours. This ability should be a boon to marketers, who are able to get customers seeing their messages wherever they are, not just when they are behind a desktop. However if you want to make the most of these trends then you'll have to have responsive design across all your email sends.
As you can see from the graph, mobile click-to-open rates will soon overtake desktop, making it a more effective platform to target. Designers should consider a mobile-first approach.
Mobile email presents a great opportunity for boosting e-commerce revenue
Mobile revenue and orders are growing rapidly. In Q4 2015 mobile made up over a quarter of all email-driven revenue and nearly one-third of all email-driven orders. Much like with the CTO rates, we will see mobile revenue making up an increasingly large percentage of email-driven orders, and it may come to overtake desktop within a few years.
Mobile is already outgrowing desktop, and it is likely to see it pulling even further ahead through 2016.

Re: Transportation and distances in Cherbourg, France - Train Tickets
There is a shuttle bus to the station & town centre, which is within walking distance (not that you will want to walk!):
It takes 7 minutes from terminal to station. You could also take a taxi, of course.
You will be able to buy your ticket at the station. Only European trains which are 'reservation-only' get full up, and the vast majority are not reservation-only.
You can, of course, choose to buy your ticket online beforehand but it will (I think) tie you to particular departure time.
www.scnf.com or voyages-sncf.com/billet-trai...
Journey takes around an hour, with direct trains roughly two-hourly. One-way fare 15 euro.

Echo while on the phone.
When I have been on the phone the person on the other end of the call have complained about an echo.
The volume is at the lowest it can go but still people say there is an echo.
Has anybody had this before? Do you think the device is faulty? Do you think I need a replacement?

Re: Echo while on the phone.
First of all, did this start suddenly? Or has it always been a problem?
Do you have a case or cover on the phone?
How are you holding the phone? Is the microphone (on the bottom of the phone) held reasonably close to your mouth?
Have you experimented with how you hold your phone and how close you hold the microphone end do your mouth? Try holding the phone close to the bottom and using your hand to kinda funnel the sound toward the microphone.

Re: Echo while on the phone.
First heard of this a few months ago and has gradually got more frequent with more people saying.
I do not have a case over the phone.
I will try and experiment with the advice that you have given me but not sure if it will be this as it is the person on the other end that can hear the echo of their own voice?

Referees are critical to soccer - the game can't be played without them. The referee's job is to be the official in charge of the game. He is the independent arbiter and manager of the game. Her authority extends to everyone at the field, including players, substitutes, team officials, spectators, and even assistant referees.
The referee's No. 1 one concern is to keep the game as safe as possible for the players. While there is risk in all sports, the referee is responsible for minimizing such ...

Wonderful breakfast and great atmosphere. When we finally got a hold of the owners they were very helpful.
was a little worried at first arrival but pleasently surprised when inside. no
Location Hard to find
The peace and quiet and the excellent breakfast amongst the antiques. It was very difficult to find.The carpet in the bathroom was stained and unpleasant looking
The location The bathroom
Surrounding nature, park. Not comfortable shower and WC.
Breakfast superb, Laurent was very welcoming and efficient Could do with new shower head
The breakfast was fantastic, the location is lovely, peaceful and relaxing It was difficult to find and I suggest you need accurate directions before settng out.
Breakfast was fine. It is not a hotel but a bed and breakfast accommodation, the bathroom has black edges, toilet was not in order, and no wireless internet. We stayed only one night.
Very nice b&b, the rooms are clean and the owner of the house is so amazingly friendly, he even get up @ 4.30H to give us a coffee etc. I've never experienced such a hospitality!! Also I've asked the man for an extra bed. Without any questions he had arranged an extra bed!! No charges for that! If your on a trip, need to be arround that area I will defenitly go back there!! I prefer it even more than the expensive and big hotels chains.. But thats sure is a matter of taste. THe shower was a bit small and there was not so much pressure on the hose.

According to Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports, Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon is thinking about suing the NFL after they decided to uphold his one year suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
"A source told FOX Sports that Gordon's camp is considering a lawsuit against the league that would include seeking an injunction to put the suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy on hold while the legal process plays out. Gordon's argument would surely be similar to the one presented in his appeal: While the "A" sample was above the limit of what's considered a positive test, his "B" sample was below it, with his stating any THC in his system was the result of second-hand smoke," wrote Garafolo.

"I like this vintage style Santa graphic, but I read that the designer used a cutting machine to cut a red vinyl decal to afix to the cream painted wood board. I don't know what kind of cutting machine she is talking about and I wonder how pricey it is? I'd like an alternative to getting that Santa on there."
"This wall decor is very chic with any message you write on it! And it couldn't be easier. However, another option to using foam core board would be to actually buy an old thrift store bulletin board and spray paint it black. I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"

How to Clean Reflector Telescope Mirrors:
Cleaning the mirror on your reflector telescope is a delicate operation. A reflector telescope mirror should only be cleaned if it is absolutely necessary. If you can see a reflection in the mirror, the mirror should not be cleaned. But if the mirror on your reflector telescope is so dirty that no reflection is visible in it, it will be necessary to clean the reflector telescope mirror. Great care should be taken due to the fragile nature of the reflector telescope mirror
How to Use a Reflector Telescope:
If you have a reflector telescope, the cosmos is yours to explore. Techniques for viewing the galaxy using a reflector telescope run the gamut from very elementary to extremely complicated, but fortunately, getting started is very easy. Once you successfully use your telescope for casual exploration, the transition into more precise and complex viewing should be relatively easy

Most of the changes scientists see on our planet are either visible to the naked eye or directly measurable. But changes to our water systems are among the most difficult to see. In this episode, we travel from the Antarctic ice sheet capturing over 60 percent of all freshwater on Earth, to massive groundwater aquifers that remain particularly elusive, to a freshwater system that acts as the primary economic, cultural, and environmental driver of southern Asia. In short, we go in search of hidden water.

Google Autofill: Are Geologists…?
by Miles Traer
As we kick off this new season of Generation Anthropocene, I thought that I'd take some time to answer some of the most queried questions on Google about geologists. Specifically, I tackled the question, "Are geologists…" followed by every letter of the alphabet and the resulting autofill question. Unsurprisingly, some of the letters hadn't been searched enough for autofill to work. And yet, some letters yielded some of the strangest questions I've ever heard about geologists. Without further ado, here are my attempts at answers: Continue reading

Colorado Rockies 1976 replied to NJDfan1711's topic in HellThe "race" for the final WC spot gets uglier by the day...it really does. Florida had won 8 out of their last 9 though. Guess they're due for some losses.
To put it simply: I think when it comes to in-season shenanigans, though I do think that these players need to be held accountable for their own actions, you can get on the coach if too many players seem to be doing whatever they please, to the detriment of the team. What happened to Revis could've happened to a lot of people, under the wrong circumstances, and really should be seen as an isolated incident. I'm not saying that Revis was necessarily right here, but part of the reason this whole thing is being blown up is because he had a rotten year, which makes it all the easier for many to try to make it sound like that Revis is now on a dangerous path. I don't buy that...I think Revis is simply a player in sharp decline (nothing can be done when Father Time decides to take your skills away), who got caught in an unfortunate situation...some will say "Well he should've know better", but it's not like he has any history of this at all. For all we know, Revis could've been going out plenty through the years, with no incidents at all...then this ONE particular time, something happened (and we still don't know all of the details as to exactly what). And in the heat of the moment, I doubt the identity of the Jets' head coach ever crossed Revis' mind. And though Rex had both his strong and weak points, I don't ever think that Rex was this Parcellish/Belichickish "Oh sh!t we better not fvck up because this is a man to fear and respect" kind of guy. If anything, as time went on, Rex probably became a little too much of a player's coach. As much as his players seemed to love playing for him, they definitely didn't reward him with consistent efforts. One other point: some coaches do find a way to rein in constant "problem children" (though like you suggest, some just can't ever get out of their own way). BB has done it with questionable players before (though even he could only do it temporarily with Randy Moss). Parcells reached Curtis Martin in a way no other human being ever did...Martin credits Parcells for basically everything that he is today.
I used to care a lot more about the "other" teams, and when I was younger, I was definitely much more of a "Let me watch any two teams go at it, I love hockey!" guy...all the hours that me and my friends would kill just playing the EA NHL games (in their infancy)...great memories. Not sure what changed. The only sport that I still feel that way about is football, but most football fans feel that way. But I used to watch a lot of Ranger games (so easy to root for the opponent), and a lot of "good matchup" games, along with damned near every Devils game. I also wasn't married with a kid then either. For me, I've told the story before, but my parents took me and my brother to a Devils-Flyers game in December 1983 (Devils lost 8-2), and from that day on, I was a Devils fan. I latched onto both the sport and the team in one sitting.
And I freely admit that I'm a Devils fan, not an "NHL fan", if that makes any sense. Once the Devils are out of the playoffs, so am I. I can't just watch any two hockey teams go at it with much conviction (I wish I could, in that there's obviously some terrific hockey worth watching). I really miss the anticipation of a playoff appearance, that first round matchup...for so long, spring and April and Devils playoff hockey seems to be synonymous...even though they had some very quick one-and-dones, they were still at least getting in, and usually pretty safely, where you knew for several days or even weeks that they were in. Compared to many fanbases, it's not like we've been suffering for all that long...right now the Devils might be in a valley, but better than being moored in a crater, and I've seen teams trapped in those, seemingly forever in some cases. But I do miss the playoffs. Man do I miss the playoffs.
Agree 100% on the effort...they do try and I've always felt that way. It's never felt like they've collectively mailed it in (though some matchups can make it appear that way). And yeah, sucks that Cory is entering his age 31 season with no immediate hope in sight. Gotta wonder if he starts thinking about waiving his NTC as soon as next year's deadline. But too early to speculate on that, really.
If anything, there's certain guys that you just kind of assume will stay out of trouble, due to track record. No one could've seen that incident coming with Revis (and it sounds like this definitely wasn't all on him). Of course, now that he's on a sharp decline, his whole situation just feels worse all around.
You didn't say anything about .500 in point%...you didn't even mention point% in that. Just that the Devils are .500. Yes, I agree, they have a .500 point%, and that's the measure I now refer to, as opposed to winning% or games under or over .500. But they do not have a .500 record, as far as wins and losses go. They have 25 wins and 35 losses (though I hate lumping in 3-on-3 and SO losses with regulation losses).
More and more the Devils remind me of a wayward teenage kid who's kind of likable in spite of himself, but can't seem to stay out of trouble. You keep pleading with him to do better and to get himself under control...and sometimes he does...for a little while. You give him second, third, fourth, even fifth chances...but ultimately it's the same sh!t, again and again. The hard part is knowing when to say "OK, I wash my hands of you, I give up dammit!" I can't do it. Even with lowered expectations, it's still a bummer when they can't string together a few wins. Just wish this team had some more surprises in it. But this just ain't their year.
So is Bowles now supposed to babysit a guy in the offseason, who was never known for having any off-the-field issues previously? Sounds like Revis was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I don't know how this reflects on Bowles. Not saying he's been a great coach, but the guy can't be blamed for everything...especially stuff that happens out of his "jurisdiction".
They could always take a "replacement" back in any deal for Cam. Curious if anyone kicks the tires on him at the deadline. I wouldn't.
Weren't you the one bitching about people saying records like 25-25-10 are ".500" last season? You and I had a debate about this very topic. So now it's OK to refer to what some call "NHL-.500" records as .500 again? Anyway, based on everything we've seen to date, looks like the Devils are going to finish somewhere between 80 and 84 points; of course, that could change, depending on what they do at the deadline...the schedule gets a bit harder now as well. Obviously, if they ever actually decided to go full tank, they could give Kinkaid about half of the remaining starts. Don't see that happening though.
The one kind of downer re: "Why not us?" is that the first domino that needed to fall (Cory turning it around) did...he's a .932 save% goalie since 1/2. Kink is at .903 over that same stretch (seven appearances), with his last two games really dragging down that sample (it had been .948 prior to those two games). It just sucks that some terrific goaltending hasn't led to that many more wins in the grand scheme. Only 11-8-3 over this time. I don't know if I can ask the goaltending to keep this up...though one can argue that if a guy like Cory should finish the season somewhere near his typical save%, he might still have some terrific puck-stopping left ahead of him.
Colorado Rockies 1976 replied to Satans Hockey's topic in Hell.928 save% in January and .936 save% in February. In his last 18 appearances, he's been at .912 or better in 14 of them. On a team that clearly has some piss-poor defensemen on it. It's hard to play much better than that.
I get the "Let me down a case of Sunny Delight everytime I talk about the Devils" mentality, but they're 5-5-1 in their last 11 games. If you want to feel a little better about their recent performance, they're 9-6-1 in their last 16...go back a little further, and that becomes 9-8-3 over their last 20. What exactly should we be confident about? Based on what I've seen, sure, the Devils might win tonight's game...only to lose their next two. Because that's what this team does. They've strung together three wins exactly ONCE since that 9-3-3 start. They've been a roughly .500 point% team for a while now...just hovering. The schedule was pretty forgiving over the last several weeks (starting with the new year), with some lesser opponents and lots of home games, and the Devils really didn't do nearly enough with it...they went 11-8-3. They managed to lose a little less/win a little more, but not nearly enough to make a real dent in the standings. You seem to do a lot of "Well, this loss was bad, but if they win this game and then that game" posting...only that the Devils don't win this game and that game. Maybe they win one, but lose the other. That's why they keep spinning their wheels in the mediocre mud that's slogging their way to the final Eastern Conference WC spot. The ONLY reason the Devils are still somehow kinda-sorta in this thing is that no one else seems to be capable of putting something together...yet. I wish the Devils were the team that could eventually do it, but nothing they do shows me that they will. I'll still be watching and the pure fan in me will always keep rooting for wins...I do that no matter how bad my teams are. But I think we already know what this team is made of. I've been watching it for 59 games. All the above being said, LET'S GO DEVILS!
Colorado Rockies 1976 replied to Satans Hockey's topic in HellI think if the Devils are trying to make the playoffs and are still in a game entering the third period where one goalie simply doesn't seem to have it, and the one on the bench has been playing well, you roll the dice. It may not have worked out of course, but I would've preferred that to some suddenly-automatic "can't yank the backup" rule. Of course, you can make the argument that Kink having a rough game in a spot the Devils needed him to play well is just another indication that this team simply isn't good enough in 2016-17 to truly compete for a playoff berth. Just another case of the Devils not getting enough contributions.
Colorado Rockies 1976 replied to Satans Hockey's topic in HellWhy do you automatically assume that Cory couldn't have possibly played in any capacity last night?
Colorado Rockies 1976 replied to Satans Hockey's topic in HellI don't think Cory would've fallen to pieces if he had been given the start. I think there are times where you can make exceptions to "rules". That being said, I have a much bigger problem with Kink never having been relieved than his starting the game. I wasn't thrilled with him getting the start under these circumstances, but I can at least see why some would make a case for it. But at the VERY latest, he should've been yanked at 5-3.
Colorado Rockies 1976 replied to Satans Hockey's topic in HellI didn't see this game, but I didn't have to. Just the fact that Kinkaid would get this start over a hot Schneider tells me all I need to know: the Devils were never serious about trying to nab a playoff berth, and this notion was reinforced when Hynes refused to go with Schneider to start the third period. It was still very much a game on the scoreboard heading into the third, and Hynes chose not to go with his best. It's fine if I as a fan never thought the 2016-17 were playoff-bound, but for the head coach to treat this game as though this team is already done by not pulling out all the stops to try to win...I don't know what to say. And as long as I imagine Raymond Babbitt narrating MB's bullet-point post-game "thoughts", I can kind of have fun with them. Time to put Cam back in, not because I'm remotely convinced that Mr. Destined-to-Disappoint will actually help on the ice, but because maybe there's the slightest chance that this dead weight will actually get hot enough to get someone to take him off the Devils' hands (though the Devils will clearly have to both pick up a chunk of his contract and expect little in return).
No thanks to Ryan. Guy has been extremely ordinary for several seasons now. And getting paid way too much money to boot.
Hard to believe the Devils are sort of in the WC conversation for the moment (don't see them staying there, as the schedule is about to turn brutal again before much longer). But somehow they are, in spite of everything. Cory's season save% now up to .914. Anyone still think he's complacent and needs to be pushed? Sometimes guys can have a rotten couple of months or even a lousy season. Doesn't automatically mean that they don't care or are somehow less motivated. Derek, your last post to SH is exactly why it inevitably seems to go wrong for you here...it was always starting with the cheap shots (which leads to the inevitable meltdown/I'm outta here/I come back in peace and am a changed man cycle). And enough with the links to your blog everywhere...it's starting to feel a bit desperate. If anything, I would suggest starting a thread where you post links to your (and fellow contributors') articles, if it's that important to you. But SH is right, Has is fully capable of posting his own links to his articles. And a Ranger fan starting a GDT at 1:09 am in the morning on a Devils site...did you really think that wouldn't aggravate someone?
I pretty much think they're already there...I just don't trust them to be consistent enough to do enough to nab a playoff berth, even if they did manage to sweep the Isles. But yeah, anything less than four points this weekend removes ALL doubt about what Shero should do at the deadline.
Colorado Rockies 1976 replied to NJDfan1711's topic in HellSame old Devils...every time that they look like they just might have a chance to make things a little interesting, they have a game like this. Just not much of a surprise anymore when this happens. Oh well.
Cam is Cam does...destined to disappoint, either due to injuries that take away from his more productive seasons, or due to less production that you're hoping for. Just a guy that's impossible to count on. But yeah, goes back to the same thing...who's that obvious candidate to take his place? Hope he plays well enough and picks it up through the end of the season or the deadline, and then see what you can get for him. Probably not a ton of course.
And wow, the refs once again try to fvck the Devils. Of course they do.
One of these "I really hate this fvcking team" kind of nights. So aggravating.
