Vintage Bicycle Restoration | Finding a Gem
The Peugeot bicycle leaned against the moss covered shed. Its owner stood behind me as I brushed a decade worth of leaves and pine needles off the frame. "I don't know if it even still works," she said.
That was an understatement. Orange rust speckled the frame and chrome. One wheel was detached and lay forlornly on the damp earth.
The tires were nothing but bare vinyl and wire: probably the same set that came with it 40 years ago. The brake cables had fused with their housings. They would have to be cut.
I asked what she wanted for it. "A hundred," she said, a Hail Mary offer based on my unexpected interest. "Nope," I said, "Fourty, max." I pointed out various disintegrating components. We agreed on sixty.
As I loaded it up, I smiled. After a haircut and a shave, I'd sell this beautiful bike for $150, easily. Where she saw junk, I saw potential.
How do we distinguish between the rust bucket and the hidden gem? How do you determine if a vintage bike project is 'too far gone'?
I think it's safe to say that vintage bicycles have never been more popular than they are today. It seems like every other rider in my city has a gorgeous, tastefully restored vintage bike.
I get it. The wonderful thing about a bicycle is that it's a long term investment. With a metal frame and solid construction, a bike is (typically) built to last a long time. With care and attention, any new bicycle will outlive you and your kids will fight over it!
I've been buying, restoring and flipping vintage bicycles for a number of years. It's incredibly rewarding and satisfying, but also often frustrating.
The image above is the bike from my story. I wish I had thought to take a 'before' photo. I repaired it to good condition and sold it for $160 the next week.
If you get into any vintage bicycle restoration project, go in with your eyes open. It will be a lot of work! Removing rust, replacing components, there's a lot to do. But the rewards are great, and anyone can acquire the skills.
Finding a Gem
There are a few things that can make or break a vintage bicycle project. The key is to identify a dud before you buy it. Here are a few things to keep your eyes open for when buying a vintage bike.
Rust, rust, rust
As you probably know, rust is a big deal. It's probably the first thing you'll notice. But here's the thing: all steel rusts, given enough time. If you're buying a vintage bike, you're likely going to run into some rust in one form or another.
There's a big difference between the kind of rust that will ruin a bike, and the stuff that you can clean up.
Fixable rust is purely a cosmetic issue. It hasn't eaten through the frame, the components or the chrome. It's on the surface, not in the structure.
A great way to determine the extent of rust is by gently tapping any prospective project bicycle to see if any of the metal starts to crumble. Crumbling metal is bad news!
Chrome looks great, but unfortunately it's also rather prone to cosmetic rust. Here's some good news: most rusted chrome can be restored to a near-new finish. A bit of fine steel wool or crumpled aluminum foil will usually clean surface oxidization off of any chrome and make it shine like new!
If the bike you're inspecting has shiny chrome with a speckling of rust, it's a safe bet. If you can't see much of the chrome underneath, give it a pass. This most likely means that it's damaged beyond repair.
The green road bike in the main photo was found with lots of surface rust. However, the metal underneath was strong, and the rust on the frame was merely cosmetic. It cleaned up nicely.
By contrast, the picture directly above shows rust that I'd consider beyond repair, particularly on the brake lever. The oxidization is pronounced and, while the lever probably still functions, it will never look like new again.
With any vintage bicycle restoration, this is the biggie.
Bike parts wear out under regular usage. They're designed to. The indicators are based on a regular amount of use.
However, those indicators are not designed to warn you about old age.
Let's look at my green Peugeot again. The bicycle wasn't really used that much, so the brake and shifter cables weren't stretched. The brake pads were barely touched. All of the traditional indicators seemed to suggest that this bike was almost ready to ride!
Of course, that wasn't true. The cables were fused. Even if they weren't fused, they were brittle. The brake pads were hard as a rock and worthless for stopping. The tire rubber had disintegrated due to age and the elements.
With any classic bicycle restoration project, I'd highly recommend you replace all replaceable parts. In a nutshell, that means tires, tubes, cables, brake pads and the chain.
As funny as it sounds, most people don't know that these parts wear out! The chain, in particular, seems to get used for way longer than it should.
Ineffective old parts hinder your ability to ride and stop safely. In some cases they'll even wear out your bike (a bad chain, for example).
Here's something to think about when restoring a vintage bicycle: components aren't always easy to find. You can often find something that's close to the original, but older bikes are hard to source parts for.
Rare bikes are even tougher, particularly foreign models. Most big cities will have a used bike parts store of one kind or another. If not, eBay is your friend.
If you're not attempting to create an exact replica, I'd encourage you to find similar but modern replacement parts that work better than the originals.
Tackling Your Bicycle Restoration Project
Once you have selected a project bike, it can be daunting to figure out where to start. Here are some tips to get you rolling.
Replace Old Parts
Remove the chain, cables, cable housings, tubes, tires and brake pads, as necessary. I typically replace ALL of these as a rule, but use your best judgement.
Replace them all. Make sure the chain is the right length, and run the cables properly. Do all this BEFORE replacing any components.
Why? Because we're reverse troubleshooting. You can best diagnose component issues if you're certain that worn out parts are not the cause.
Pull Worn Out Components
Go through all the bicycle components one by one to assess working order. Brakes, shifters, front and rear derailleurs.
Look for rust and wear. If a component isn't working properly, see if a bit of lubrication can help. Use a wire brush to remove surface rust.
If the component still doesn't work properly after some TLC, carefully remove it and give it an inspection. If it seems beyond fixing, take it to your local bike shop and start the hunt for a replacement part.
Make It Beautiful Again
Save the cosmetic stuff for last. It might be tempting to start removing surface rust and repaint right away, but I'd caution you against it.
Why? Because if you spend a bunch of time making the bike beautiful and then find out it's beyond repair mechanically, you've just wasted a bunch of time.
As mentioned, light steel wool is a fantastic way to remove surface rust on chrome and make it shine like new. It's a lot of elbow grease, but seeing that shine come back is super rewarding. If it's not super effective, try a different weight of wool.
If you're planning to repaint your frame, strip all the components off of it. Everything. Sand it down to the bare metal, give it a coat of primer and then start painting.
(The paint process is complex, and I'll write a whole article on the subject later on).
Tighten Everything
When you're done, it's really worth going over every nut and bolt on your bicycle to make sure it's tight. When you're taking it all apart and putting it back together again, it's easy to neglect one little bolt.
I'll admit, I once hopped on a freshly restored bicycle and discovered (several blocks down the road) that I hadn't tightened the handlebars. At all. So double check!
Trial and Error is OK
I've walked through a bunch of stuff here, but there's no way I've covered it all. Restoring a vintage bicycle to perfect condition is an exercise in frustration. You will swear. You will hurl tools.
A couple final bits of advice: make use of your local resources (shops, hobby clubs, etc). Read up on how to do things online (the late Sheldon Brown was and still is a wonderful resource on vintage bicycle stuff).
And finally, take sufficient breaks. If you've been working on something for 20 minutes without success, go crack a beer or eat a sandwich. It's amazing what a little time and space can do.
Thanks for reading!

So you bought it for 60, say you can sell it for $160. Ok.. let's say you managed to fix it up for $30 using some cheap dumpster dived parts. Then you made $70. And including the time hauling it home this certainly took the better part of a day. I wouldn't be bragging about seeing the hidden economic value in that that she didn't? If you like doing it, that's a different story, but I think she got a good deal selling that for $60.Reply

I wish the name chupacabra had never been used for these critters. There is clearly some kind of hairless canid running around the south and the stigma seems to cause any credible inquiry to balk. The lady who has the taxidermy one apparently had it DNA tested and it comes back some kind of mexican wolf-ish DNA, but not coyote or other known canid. Whatever it is seems to be real, but the last thing Fish and Wildlife want to do is discover a "rare" new species. It is the same reason they refuse to acknowledge cougar, wolves, and bears in states where they aren't "supposed to be". That is what happens when science meets politics. Hope this one get some attention.
An eastern Texas couple claims to have captured a live chupacabra.
Some people are saying it is most likely a hairless raccoon. I have never seen a raccoon that looked like that before but I have also never seen a hairless raccoon before.
So what do you think mythical beast or hairless raccoon?
Got really excited at first but, at second look, this does unfortunately look like a hairless raccoon.
It doesn't really match this legit carcass found in 2007 i think, also in texas, but similar looking. she has the carcass below preserved through taxidermy and on display in texas currently...
Texas woman captures deceased "texas blue dog/chupacabra"
Canion picked up the unknown creature off the side of a road near her ranch in Cuero, Texas, back in 2007, at a time when she had been trying to figure out what was killing chickens on her ranch. "Each time we found a chicken dead, it was opened up ... in its throat area," she says on "The Unexplained Files," a Science Channel series debuting Aug. 28. "It appeared that all the blood was out of it." Twenty-eight chickens were lost before she found the dead carcass. It was unlike any animal she'd had ever seen before. It weighed about 40 pounds with steel blue eyes, a snout with an overbite, and strange skin closer to an elephant's epidermis than the hair associated with canines like wolves or coyotes.
what they have there doesn't really match the aforementioned carcass found in texas. steel blue eyes, elephant like skin and other differences in the ears, hind quarters etc...edit on 3-4-2014 by CallmeRaskolnikov because: (no reason given)edit on 3-4-2014 by CallmeRaskolnikov because: (no reason given)
reply to post by TWILITE22
yea the women was definitely smart. she refused to give up the carcass and did have a part of it tested. came back with no match to any existing canine species or anything.
makes me wonder now that the couple in question in this article had the suspected creature put down and won't be testing anything. just seems odd.

New Western Digital site quadruples conversions
The Work
As Western Digital was scaling back its investments in physical retail environments such as Best Buy, it had to scale up its investments in digital retailers like Amazon, and ultimately turn its own website into an eCommerce-driven experience that could drive significant revenue.
- Digital Strategy
- Analytics & Optimization
- Consulting
- Creative Design
- Experience Design
- Adobe Experience Manager
- Adobe Digital Asset Management
- Technical Design & Architecture
- eCommerce Integration w/Digital River
- Adobe Analytics Integration w/Tealium
- Content Strategy
The Impact
- 22% increase in revenue
- 400% increase in eCommerce conversions
- 11% increase in avg. transaction value
- 16 languages, 20+ sites
The Details
Customers used to have a disjointed purchasing experience on the Western Digital website. The company's corporate site was marketing products, but if visitors decided to make a purchase, clicking the "Shop Now" button took them to a completely different Store site bearing little to no resemblance to the mothership. The process required several clicks, and introduced multiple inconsistencies in branding and messaging. WD wanted to integrate its shopping site and corporate site into one cohesive purchase experience, but did not want to ditch its existing product and inventory management solution and start over in the back end. First, the Hero team worked with WD to craft a digital strategy tied back to the company's business objectives. We then executed that strategy across design, content, and development, and defined key performance indicators to ensure each phase of the project moved us closer to the company's business goals.
To align with WD's more modern brand direction, we updated the look and feel of the WD website. Then, our team set about enhancing the user experience for shoppers by leveraging the power of WD's CMS, Adobe Experience Manager.
Now, all the pages a customer sees at wdc.com use elements from Adobe Commerce. So while the commerce functionality of the site still sits on Digital River, WD's legacy commerce engine with the same back-end as before, the pricing and product information is delivered into beautiful AEM pages, creating a seamless customer experience. All pricing and inventory is fetched live, and WD staff are able to make updates to particular pages–– select default SKUs, for example, hide a particular product for a period of time, customize messaging, and so forth across multiple locales.

AMERICAN FORK, Utah (CBS Las Vegas) — Where was Ken to move it?
American Fork police ticketed a little girl's pink Barbie Jeep after an officer noticed it in the road blocking a driveway, according to KUTV.
Two sisters, 7 and 9 years old, reportedly left the Jeep in the street after riding around in it. An officer saw the vehicle and placed it in their driveway.
When their dad woke up the next morning, he noticed an "abandoned vehicle tag" on the Barbie Jeep.
There was no fine or notice on the ticket, though.
"We would hope that people would appreciate the fact that we're there in their neighborhood and we're looking out for them and their property," police told KUTV.
The girls say they've learned a lesson and will keep the Barbie Jeep in the garage from now on.

Oscar Magnus Narud's Keel collection: tables in rough wood and iron.
Running from September 15th through November 14th, Make-Me is an upcoming exhibition at Moss that brings together a set of artists and designers producing what Moss has coined "Butch-Craft." Maybe there is no better way to describe this than the words they use themselves: "a cerebral yet virile narrative applied to rough work crafted in wood, iron, steel, marble, rush, paint, boiled leather, clay, baked agricultural waste, plant-life, gypsum drywall, and blood, sweat and tears." We love this curatorial grouping—not quite DIY or rustic, but roughly-hewn, direct, anti-academic (though not exactly anti-intellectual), but executed with sensitivity for finesse.
Manmade series by Peter Marigold.
The participating artists and designers are Peter Marigold, Oscar Magnus Narud, Joost Van Bleiswijk, Kiki Van Eijk, Marcus Tremonto, Qubus Design Studio, Studio Formafantasma, Aaron Raymer, Drift, Christopher Chiappa, Simon Hasan, and Sergio Rodrigues.
Read Murray Moss' introduction of the exhibition below, where he elaborates on the subtleties of butch-craft.
While there is never at any one moment a singular, all pervasive and universal narrative being written in design or art, occasionally there emerges a critical mass, a 'tipping point' as author Malcolm Gladwell calls it, of influential designers and artists, some established and some perhaps little known outside their professional circles, whose work simultaneously addresses similar issues or reflects similar contemporary-culture realities (perhaps aesthetic, or political, or economic, or sociological in nature), embodying certain across-the-board characteristics which cumulatively have the potential to create a social epidemic, like a virus moving through the population.
MAKE ME. presents a small but diverse body of work by an otherwise un-related collective of artists and designers, which together celebrate a rough-hewn, virile, reductive, anti-academic, craft-driven, 'tool-belt and heavy-lifting' aesthetic, paradoxically realized with such sensitivity and finesse, often embodying subtle, complex theoretical, structural, formal, and compositional aspects, and infused with such poetic narrative as to be necessarily characterized as 'butch', a word defined in today's vernacular as a stereotypical 'brute-masculine' approach taken by a stereotypical 'sensitive-feminine' personality.
We introduce the term 'Butch-Craft' to articulate a phenomena: that after years of an increasingly accepted yet hard-won broader definition of design, liberated only recently from the mandatory 'form follows function' credo, we are witnessing a kind of backlash. Not a retreat from the now-accepted practice of infusing poetic narrative into functional objects -- we still want to engage more fully with our object culture, not simply regard it as a 'tool for living'. Instead, we are seeing the emergence of an alternative means of giving this 'art content' form and expression in functional objects. Poetic narrative no longer needs to be dressed in traditional 'Art' garb -- it no longer needs to 'pass' as Art. Gilded bronze, exotic regionalisms, complex and immaculately executed 3-D printed abstract futuristic forms, while still employed as critical elements by certain recognized masters, no longer exclusively define art-in-design. Works, both past and present, that overtly resemble 'furniture', executed in wood and iron and steel and stone, are now in fact automatically assumed to contain a narrative, a poetic gesture. Function no longer is presumed to neuter any potential for Art; we accept that addressing a prosaic function doesn't lead necessarily to a prosaic object.
Through the examples we present in MAKE ME. we acknowledge a tipping point, where art-in-design no longer needs to look like what we recognize as Art; art-in-design no longer needs to wear its art on its sleeve.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
StorageX from Brocade Communications Systems Inc. of San Jose, CA, for example, uses global namespace technology to unify file storage from multiple servers, appliances and NAS devices utilizing Microsoft Distributed File System (DFS). The technology is currently implemented as software installed on the servers and NAS boxes. Brocade prefers this approach as it operates out of band via agents running on the file servers.
The result is that the administrator can move around files with greater ease or perform administrative functions without the end users being affected. Even though the physical location of their files may have changed, end users continue to have access to them without being aware of the shift.
This technology makes sense to anyone who has deployed more than a handful of NAS or file servers in one data center. As each box has its own file system, network connection, etc., adding another device requires duplicate installation, set up and maintenance functions. According to Philippe Nicolas, technology evangelist for file area network (FAN) solutions at Brocade, this also causes problems such as one server being fully utilized while others sit idle. And it is cumbersome to move files from one to another.
Further, reconfiguring file systems or making them available elsewhere in the event of a disaster eats up valuable administrative time and effort. Such issues are solved by adding a logical layer (via a global namespace) between clients and file systems. Therefore, activities like server administration, files reorganization or consolidation can be accomplished without the user noticing anything different. Its business as usual from an end user perspective.
Brocade, of course, is a fan of the traditional FAN as covered above. But it offers several other FAN products. As well as its StorageX solution, it classifies Wide Area File Services (WAFS) as being under the FAN umbrella.
FAN embraces Wide Area File Services (WAFS) technology, says Nicolas. A FAN can encompass all the file servers within one data center, or can include WAFS within its perimeter to manage files being accessed by remote offices.
Most vendors, he says, only offer one of these, i.e. they either have a WAFS or a traditional FAN product. Brocade, on the other hand, provides both elements. According to Nicolas, therefore, his company provides a more full-featured FAN than its rivals. This is accomplished via a unified interface that ties together Brocade WAFS with its StorageX FAN software.
WAFS is utilized to manage files in a central repository that are then swiftly and easily accessible by remote offices. This eliminates the need to erect small data centers throughout a distributed enterprise, and can do away with the requirement of having an IT person working at each branch office. Instead, everything is maintained at head office.
Brocade WAFS simplifies branch IT office services and optimizes WAN file traffic so it doesnt take ages to access files residing on central servers. The idea is to provide LAN-like responses over the WAN. This is accomplished via a pair of appliances one at headquarters and the other appliances at branch offices.
The FAN, then, has become a hot area in the storage landscape. Over the past two years most of the innovative but small WAFS vendors were gobbled up by the big boys. Similarly, the traditional FAN players have been acquired by the likes of Brocade, Cisco and EMC. That leaves only Acopia Networks Inc. of Lowell, MA, and Attune Systems Inc. of Santa Clara, as the remaining FAN vendors.
When you see the big vendors acquiring smaller innovators, you know that a major market need is being served, says Nicolas. Brocade is about a year ahead of the pack in bringing both sides of the FAN spectrum together.
Storage analyst firm Taneja Group of Hopkinton, MA, agrees. It sees the FAN market as being a fast growing sector in the coming years as it fills a gulf that block-level storage cant address.
A FAN is ultimately about applying business-level controls and intelligence to files, says Brad ONeil, an analyst at Taneja Group. This was not possible with block-level data that is necessarily void of business- or application-level context.This article was first published on EnterpriseITPlanet.com.

Ankle ligament reconstruction is necessary for patients experiencing ankle instability that is not responding to nonsurgical modes of treatment, especially if symptoms are present longer than six months, says the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society. Ankle ligament reconstruction is usually an outpatient surgery with regional or general anesthesia. The surgeon may repair the area by reinforcing the ligaments with stitches, or he may use tendons to replace the torn ligaments.Continue Reading
The most common form of ankle ligament reconstruction is the modified Brostrom procedure, in which the surgeon strengthens the ligaments with stitches or anchors placed on one of the bones of the ankle, according to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society. To replace the ligaments with tendons, the surgeon may use the patient's hamstring tendon or a tendon from a cadaver. He weaves the tendon into the ankle bones and secures it with stitches or a bone screw.
Possible complications with any surgical procedure include an adverse reaction to anesthesia, damage to the nerves or blood vessels, infection, blood clots or excessive bleeding, reports the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society. Patients recovering from ankle ligament reconstruction commonly report decreased sensation around the incision that may extend to the top of the foot. Less common problems include infection, slow healing of the wound or blood clots within the veins of the leg.Learn more about Breaks & Sprains

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Pretty provencal villa, situated in a tranquil countryside setting with delightful views, walk in infinity pool [a hit with smaller children] Fully fitted poolside kitchen, weber gas barbecue and outside lounge area. WI FI.
The villa is 7mins drive from historic Grimaud village through the wonderful vineyards of Val de Gilly yet only 20mins from the buzz of St Tropez.
You will be met by our multilingual guardian who will introduce you to the property, he will also visit early each day to clean the pool.
You have exclusive use of the property which is secluded, private and peaceful.
The atmosphere in the gardens floodlit at night combined with the tranquillity of the Val de Gilly provide the perfect base for a truly relaxing holiday.
The Cote d Azure has a wonderful climate from early spring to October, blue skies and sunshine are the norm.
There are 3 very good supermarkets from 7 to 15 mins drive away and the Val De Gilly domain selling their award winning wines direct to the public is almost on your doorstep.
Also subject to a successful growing season our vegetable plot herb garden and their produce is at your disposal should you find you need extra.
Further to the Email that I received from Scott and Heather, I found this review in our guest book.
Vieux Bleu has to be one of the best places to have a vacation.
We couldn't decide if we should ever leave the property to explore elsewhere !
The main house and its wonderfully comfortable atmosphere was perfect enough,then you see the next "level" which is like a private resort.
The gardens are so breathtaking - I hope all the pictures I took help to explain a little bit of the heaven we discovered here.
We did venture out a bit and adored the village of Grimaud. The restaurants there were all yummy and we loved the Chateau Patisserie.
Phillipe your guardian was very helpful and we are so glad we took his advice for driving to and picking a spot to experience the beach in "St Tropez"
We hope to return again one day.
Thank you for sharing your splendid home.
Two parents, four kids and inlaws! What could possibly go right? Well, everything as it happens. The villa is well appointed and has everything you need. The pool house is a home on its own and the outdoor kitchen at the pool house meant we didn't need to use the fully fitted kitchen in the main house. Each night we used the outdoor gas grill and thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the warm evening air.
The house has a rural setting away from the village but close enough to nip in if you need anything. The vineyard staff were most welcoming and the rose is superb. We are even considering driving next time to load up!
When we arrived at the villa Philippe was there to meet us. He couldn't have been more helpful. Excellent English, great knowledge of the house and area. He also has a very impressive waxed moustache.
The one thing you will remember from this home is the lack of light pollution at night. It's simply stunning to sit out and look at the stars.
I could go on but will finish by saying this; for a family of eight with ages from 70 to 11 this was the perfect set up. Everyone had their own space. Wifi for those that wanted it, a pool for those that wanted it and great cooking/drinking areas for the rest of us.
We have just had our second holiday here , how could it possibly seem better than last time?
This time we invited friends to join us making 4 adults and 2 kids - our biggest problem was that we wanted our friends to have the best house but simply couldn't choose between the 2, the bigger house which has 2 bathrooms and all the niceties within, or the pool house at the top of the garden where the views over the local vineyards are superb, not to mention the outdoor lounge, outdoor kitchen (which is more equipped than my kitchen at home!) and finally the pool which was only a few steps away.
At the end of each evening both families retired to the privacy of their own little house - perfect for still having our own space!
Although wanting to explore the area we all found it hard to drag ourselves away from lazing round the pool where the absolute tranquility of the garden (our friends could not believe that we had found such a place) makes you become worry and stress free, and it must be experienced to believe it!
Also Thank you to Phillipe for keeping the pool lovely and clean for us and being on hand for anything we wanted .
We will definately be back again.
We've had a fantastic week and enjoyed every bit of it. Villa bleu is wonderful and also decorated with a lot of taste. The location is calm and isolated, exactly what we wanted. Philippe is very kind and helpful, it's really reassuring to have him taking care of small details like a power cut after a thunderstorm! The house and garden are clean and well kept. I will recommend Villa bleu to friends.
We spend a wonderful time in the Villa Vieux Bleu. Everything was made to make us happy.
Philippe who welcomed us, was really discret, kind and available.
The houses are very well accommodated and the place is simply lovely and peaceful. You live near one of the most famous place in France, away from the noise and the agitation !
Our vacation were as we hope…even more...
Villa Vieux Bleu was a wonderful place to spend time with our family and friends, it was even better than we had imagined.
What we had not realised was that there were 2 separate villas, both with facilities for sleeping 4 people, this meant that both our families spent our days together around the pool having fun and dining alfresco in the poolside kitchen diner but at night each family retired to their own private villa to shower and sleep.
Brilliant ,we will definitely be back .
We arrived mid April to Villa Vieux Blue and our first impressions were wow. What a perfectly kept, beautiful, tasteful villa. Immaculate both inside and out, this was clearly a well looked after place.
There was ample room for us, and not once did we feel insecure about anything here. Everything was furnished and decorated to such a high standard, completely modern yet retaining that authentic traditional look, I don't think we've ever experienced such a beautiful holiday villa.
The size was Perfect for my family as there was enough room for the children to explore whilst remaining safe in the grounds of the villa, giving us our own private time to relax and enjoy the glorious surroundings. The view from the garden is to die for, and you are totally secluded yet only a short drive away from local towns, villages and of course the magnificent Saint Tropez .
I would highly recommend this holiday rental to anyone considering a holiday in the Saint Tropez region, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
The local villages are a treat to visit, Grimaud , Gassin, Ramatuelle, all have weekly markets and good restaurants St. Maxime is a delightfull resort 15mins drive along the coast, here there are an abundance of shops, restaurants, bars and boats. St. Tropez market is the most special, choose a pavement cafe opposite and people watch, it is amazing. The area surrounding the old port with its pavement cafes and views of the luxury yatches, has its own special atmosphere and no trip to St. Tropez would be complete without a walk around the old village and perhaps lunch in one of the many restaurants. 2 kilometers outside St. Tropez lies the legendary Pampelone Beach. Its many beachfront restaurants include, the world famous 'Club 55 ' or' Restaurant Cinquante Cinq ' which has its own unique ambiance and is frequented by the rich and famous. FOR THE CHILDREN. Horseriding, AQUALAND waterpark, Crazy-golf, Bowling, Luna-park funfair, The little train Grimaud ~ Pt. Grimaud

"This valuable collection, the result of foresight by its outstanding editors, is an important milestone on the way toward a fuller scholarly understanding of the Holocaust in the East—and thus of the Holocaust itself."—Timothy Snyder, Yale University
"The study of the Second World War and of the Holocaust has gained immeasurably from the shift to the European East, to the sites of the fiercest battles and the most horrendous acts of annihilation. With a keen eye to the challenging questions of newly available but often tainted sources, this volume of essays focuses on two main themes. First, microhistories reveal both the 'modern' ferocity and the startling varieties of destruction and extermination. Second, the puzzling ambivalence of the Soviet reaction to the Holocaust suggests at the very least that the Soviet Union was not a friend of Nazism's main victim, the Jews. Neither was anyone else in 1941, which is the most sobering realization that emerges from these pages."—Michael Geyer, University of Chicago

Father's Day gifts: 5 things to do with Dad for under $150
Father's Day gifts are around the corner, and we're splurging a little more on Dad this year. According to the National Retail Federation, the average person will spend $117.14 on Father's Day gifts in 2012, up from $106.09 in 2011. The top spending category? Experiences, with people spending upwards of $2.3 billion taking Dad to restaurants, ballgames, and on vacations. This suggests that, more than anything, we want to spend time with our papas. So, in lieu of that ugly tie or NFL coffee table book, here are five suggestions for Father's Day outings. All will cost you less than $150 per person, so you can spend the day together without breaking the bank.
1. Father's Day fishing course ($99 and up)
A Father's Day gift of the great outdoors? State-run wildlife fish and game departments across the country offer family fishing courses for under $100 a head.
Atlanta Fly Fishing School in Atlanta offers a five-hour beginners' course for $125 per person. Clothier L.L Bean's Outdoor Discovery Schools in Freeport, Maine, offers an introductory fly-casting course for $99, as well as an introductory fly-fishing class for $129. (If you really want to splurge, you can book a fly-fishing cruise to the Bahamas through americanflyfishingschools.com. Rates start at $189 per night.)
An even cheaper Father's Day gift: Front the money for a pair of state fishing licenses, so you and Dad can take fishing trips together throughout the year. In Florida, for example, residents can buy combination freshwater/saltwater permits for $32.50 per year.
There are various Father's Day fishing tournaments around the country. The Port of San Diego is holding a Big Bay Father's Day Fishing Tournament from three of its ocean piers – with no charge for boys and girls under 16 who are accompanied by an adult. Marcus Hook, Pa., is holding a fishing derby on the Delaware River on June 17.
In anticipation of the big weekend, Washington State's Department of Fish and Wildlife is stocking 14 lakes with rainbow trout.
If the average Father's Day gift is less than $120, why are we touting ideas that can cost up to $150? Call it a plea for gender equality. The National Retail Federation reports the average person spent $152 on Mother's Day this year. So why not buck projections and give Dad the same?

Miami-based Ivax Corp. received a potentially major setback on Thursday when the Federal Trade Commission urged the Food and Drug Administration to deny six months of exclusivity for Ivax's generic version of Merck & Co.'s blockbuster cholesterol drug Zocor, which loses patent protection in 2006.
The FTC's comments came in an 11-page letter in which the agency urges the FDA to reject Ivax's argument that the first company to file to sell a generic deserves a period of exclusive sales, regardless of whether it has to mount a patent challenge.
The 180 days of exclusivity typically has been awarded to companies that are not only the first to file a generic application but also successfully challenge the brand maker's patents.
A head start allows companies such as Ivax to sell their generic for only slightly less than the branded version until other competitors enter the market. However, according to the FTC letter, one study has found that "as the number of approved generic versions of a drug increased from one to 10, the average price for the generic version fell from 60 percent to just 34 percent of the price for the brand-name version."
Ivax said last month it was "confident" of winning the 180-day exclusivity, and that might add $1.45 a share to 2006 profit. The patent on the main ingredient in Zocor, including a six-month extension for pediatric use, expires on June 23, 2006. The drug generates $3.6 billion a year in sales and is second only to Pfizer's Lipitor, also for cholesterol reduction, which brings in more than $12 billion a year worldwide.
Ivax spokesman David Malina declined to comment on the FTC's letter.
According to that letter, the FDA regulations "do not support Ivax's premise that the 180-day exclusivity be treated as a right that cannot be altered by changed circumstances."

Celine Dion Returning To Vegas Stage After Husband & Brother's Deaths
Just over two weeks after losing her husband and then her brother, Celine Dion has reportedly decided to return to her Las Vegas residency on Wednesday, Feb. 3.
Celine Dion, 47, is ready to get back on the stage after losing the love of her life, husband Rene Angelil.
It has been a tough few weeks for Celine Dion, but she knows that the show must go on. On Wednesday night, Feb. 3, Celine will perform at her Las Vegas residency for the very first time since her husband, Rene, lost his battle with cancer on Jan. 14. This will also be the first performance since her brother, Daniel Dion, also died from cancer just a couple of days after Rene.
Celine is planning a "celebration of life" service at the Caesars Palace Colosseum on Feb. 3, reports TMZ. The report claims that Celine is set to speak at the event, but not sing. It's unclear whether or not she plans to surprise the crowd with a song or two in her husband's honor.
For now, Celine's shows will remain cancelled until Feb. 23, the original date she planned to return for a performance. Hopefully by then Celine has found the strength to sing again, especially because her husband, Rene, was truly her biggest fan.
[hl_tribune_embed id=15e4ec5b-87d7-4059-cd5f-87bc4760671c ]
On Friday, Jan. 29, Celine released a statement on her official website to thank her friends, family, and fans for their support during her very difficult time. "We have felt your love for Rene, and your prayers and compassion have helped us during the most difficult time… more than you'll ever know," Celine wrote in her heartfelt message.

Tell us, HollywoodLifers — Are YOU excited to see Celine return to the stage soon? Comment below with your thoughts.

Four UAB students take summer studies abroad through Gilman Scholarship
Four University of Alabama at Birmingham students are among 1,200 undergraduate students from 354 colleges and universities across the United States selected to receive the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, Kenneth Davis, Jane Murphy, Laia-Rose Hudson, and Stevenson Craig.
The Gilman Scholarship is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The program aims to make study abroad experiences accessible to a more diverse population of students and to encourage students to choose less traditional study abroad destinations. It also gives students the opportunity to gain a better understanding of other cultures, countries, languages and economies — making them better prepared to assume leadership roles in government and the private sector.
Students are selected for the Gilman Scholarship through a highly competitive application process. The program receives more than 10,000 applications each year and awards about 2,500 scholarships. Gilman scholars are awarded up to $5,000 toward their study abroad or internship program costs. The program aims to support students who traditionally have been underrepresented in education abroad, including, but not limited to, students with high financial need, first-generation college students, students in STEM fields, students from diverse ethnic backgrounds and students with disabilities.
The program aims to make study abroad experiences accessible to a more diverse population of students and to encourage students to choose less traditional study abroad destinations.
Jane Murphy, a senior foreign languages major with a concentration in French, is also studying abroad in France. In addition to her French major, she is pursuing a Fast Track Master of Public Health degree from the UAB School of Public Health. Murphy is capturing her experience through a video blog as part of her service project for the scholarship. Follow her study abroad experience here.

Channing Frye may not have been on the court during the 2012-13 NBA season but it was anything but a wasted year for the 6-foot-11 forward.
While the Phoenix Suns big man was sidelined for the entire year because of an enlarged heart, he made time to return to his alma mater, Arizona, and finish his degree in anthropology. Frye starred for the Wildcats from 2001 to 2005, but he never graduated until last weekend.
"Graduating means a lot to me," Frye told azcentral.com. "It was a huge accomplishment for me to be able to go to the University of Arizona and even though it took me a little longer than usual to get my degree, it is something I will always cherish and show off."
Frye brought his son, Hendrix, and his daughter, Margaux, with him to his ceremony. When his son asked whether his colleges tales were all true, Frye had a funny response.
Son- are all the stories about uofa trueme-no son they are better instagram.com/p/ZHJ6WjLXfY/
— Channing Frye (@Channing_Frye) May 10, 2013
Luckily for Frye, the school had a robe long enough for his 6-foot-11 frame. His hat, however, was another story.

Manny Malou didn't play sports growing up in Australia, preferring a notepad and pencil.
He was an artist, especially fond of inking figures from the popular Japanese animation television series "Dragon Ball Z."
But at 14, Malou, who was born in Kenya, discovered basketball. He wasn't quite 5-foot-10, but he was thrilled he could dunk, and his hoops odyssey was set in motion. Malou would need a lot of paper and pens to chart his world travels, including where basketball landed him Tuesday.
Malou, now 22 and 6-9, was one of six players the Kings brought to Sacramento for predraft workouts for coaches and team executives, including general manger Vlade Divac, director of scouting Mike Bratz and principal owner Vivek Ranadive. Just a week ago, the forward was in Oakland after the Golden State Warriors invited him to their facility.
Malou said he "fell in love" with basketball after he started dunking as a young teen. He broadened his game, improving his dribbling, passing and shooting enough to warrant an invitation by the Kings, Bratz said.
Basketball has given me a lot. I've been across the world, across America. I never thought I'd make it out here (in the United States). I'm here now. I'm having fun with it, doing the best I can.
Manny Malou
"I heard about him and he didn't disappoint," Bratz said. "He's long and very athletic. He's a little raw. He's got some development to do, but he's got a chance someday."
Malou, slender and active with myriad skills, can shoot, but he's considered an NBA long shot. Then again, being a long shot isn't new for him.
He started playing basketball in high school after his parents moved to Australia, leaving poverty in Kenya. Malou kept growing, and growing his game, and attended a prep school in Connecticut. He moved back to Australia, but he returned to the United States to attend another prep school, in Des Moines, Iowa.
Eventually, he found his way to Yuba College because of coach Doug Cornelius' connections. It's not every day a 6-9 player shows up at a college such as Yuba, but it's nothing new for Cornelius. Though Festus Ezeli only practiced with the team, Yuba was a launching pad for the Warriors center, who grew up in Nigeria and became an NBA prospect.
For Malou, playing basketball has been easy. Figuring out where he'll earn a paycheck from the sport has been more difficult. Will he get drafted, sign with an NBA team as a free agent or play overseas?
"I had a lot of fun with these workouts and the whole process of this," Malou said. "I'm taking everything one day at a time. I'm still not sure what to expect."
Cornelius didn't know what to expect when Malou arrived in Marysville. As a freshman at Yuba College in 2014-15, Malou averaged 14.7 points and 8.5 rebounds, and NBA scouts regularly attended games and practices. Cornelius said he's been contacted by 15 NBA scouts regarding Malou.
"He has serious skills, can pass it, shoot it, he's long, and can run, so you can see why NBA teams are enamored," said Cornelius, who attended Tuesday's workout. "Wish we had him a little longer."
Malou played the first 14 games of his sophomore season, averaging 15.6 points and 8.4 rebounds, before leaving the team.
"We get back from Christmas break, and he's no longer in school, just gone, suddenly attending a JC in Iowa," Cornelius said. "It just got weird. He turned down so many major college programs – Kansas, Arizona – and signed with Iowa State, who got him to the JC. He's a great kid, but a little naive. He's taken advice from too many people, and it hasn't always worked out."
Malou, who attended Des Moines Area Community College but didn't play there, decided last month to bypass Iowa State and declare for the NBA draft. He also hired an agent, making him ineligible under NCAA rules.
I heard about him and he didn't disappoint. He's long and very athletic. He's a little raw. He's got some development to do, but he's got a chance someday.
Kings director of scouting Mike Bratz, on Manny Malou
"I would have liked to have gone to Iowa State, to go to school, play, get better," Malou said. "I am disappointed about that. But things will work out."
Cornelius said Malou would have benefited from more college experience, but the coach backs his decision to go pro.
"People don't understand how hard it's been for him," Cornelius said. "His parents escaped their country, by foot, for a better life, his mom pregnant. The kid's been dirt broke, struggled to make ends meet when he was with us. He'll get better, and he's very polite, great manners, smart, talented. He's worth a look."
Malou said basketball has given him opportunities he never imagined when he would sit with a notepad as a child, when imaginations often run wild.
"Basketball has given me a lot," he said. "I've been across the world, across America. I never thought I'd make it out here (in the United States). I'm here now. I'm having fun with it, doing the best I can."

The latest and greatest on CNN iReport, brought to you by Team iReport.
Please join us here in the blog for our weekly roundtable discussion. We'll be talking about our next weekend assignment - time-lapse video.
We think this is going to be a fun and challenging project and we're looking forward to giving it a try.
iReporter RyFly shared a great example that shows the demolition of a building in the Cabrini Green housing projects. That video was shot over three months, but aspencer80 was able to create a time-lapse video of the building of an igloo over a weekend.
We'll also be happy to talk about any other questions, comments or concerns you may have.
We'll open comments at 3 p.m. ET.
Percy, Percy, Percy. We were charmed by your visit to our newsroom while breaking news was unfolding around us, and even the tallest members of our freakishly tall crew were humbled by your towering presence.
With much excitement, we welcome seeitnow to the Millionaire's Club for hitting 1 million total page views on his iReports. Journalistic curiosity, investigative tendencies, production value and a touch of black humor set his body of work apart. Hard to imagine anyone else who would aspire to find out exactly what constitutes "Canadian food."
The Vancouver, British Columbia, resident has been in his element covering the 2010 Olympics, jetting off to Central America in the middle and then returning to Canada just in time for the finishing stretch. His world travels and cultural observations have made for great citizen journalism. Since he always signs his e-mails to us with "much metta," we'll return the favor this time around. Much metta, seeitnow.
With all the assignments we have on CNN iReport, and all the great stories shared, we were reminded that the crux of what we do comes down to great storytelling. An iReport from first-time submitter acraigsnyder exemplified the spirit of what we do. He was on vacation when he heard about a fire at Philadelphia International Records. The label is known for recordings in the 1970s and 1980s.
"I was out around 6 a.m. walking around taking pictures, and saw a fire truck go by and went over and got involved in the scene. I stayed inside the fire line and just shot photos for about an hour."
The photos he submitted almost speak for themselves, telling the story from start to finish. CNN affiliate WPVI reports that arson is suspected in the blaze. Fire officials told the Philadelphia Inquirer it was "a little suspicious." The paper also reported that the recording studio, once used by Patti LaBelle and Teddy Pendergrass, was undamaged right down to the shag carpet.
"The fire wasn't bad when I arrived; it was just smoke coming out of a third story window. When I got there, there was a guy leaning out of the window. The guy was helping him but was doing more harm than good. The guy did escape and had some lacerations on his forearm, and I read later that the fire was indeed suspicious."
acraigsnyder's high-quality photos, skilled storytelling and great quotes inspired us and we hope he will inspire you, too. So if you see news near you, share your story with CNN iReport.
Six lean, mean, competing iReporters are embarking on ultimate fitness challenge – they're participating in a triathalon with CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
The Fit Nation Triathlon Challenge is a six-month journey that culminates in the Nautica New York City Triathlon on July 18, 2010. These brave iReporters will tackle this Olympic Distance race consisting of a 1500m swim, a 40k bike ride, and a 10k run.
Please welcome the list of the lucky six:
All six competitors met up with Dr. Gupta in Central Park in New York to kick off their training. Watch their appearances on CNN's "American Morning" -- meet the first three and the others -- to learn more about their stories.
Check back here to see how these iReporters are keeping up with training and to follow along with their progress. And, if you are embarking on a fit challenge of your own, we'd love to hear your story too.
Hey iReporters, ready to get a little creative and have a lot of fun? Team iReport is pleased to announce the return of Weekend Assignments – a series of engaging, but simple mini-challenges we can work on together.
Here's how it will go down. Every Friday for eight weeks, we'll launch a new weekend assignment. You'll have 'til Sunday to complete your mission and upload your iReport. We'll join in on the fun and find creative ways to mash up your submissions and create cool content for CNN.com.
We're kicking things off this weekend with a special mobile-only challenge. We want you to take a photo on your mobile device and submit your favorite shot to iReport. We'll join in the challenge too, and hope to learn about the types and quality of photos people capture on their mobile devices.
And here's a sneak peek of upcoming weekend assignments.
Feb 26 – Timelapse
We're raising the bar a bit with our second assignment. We'll show you how stop-motion photography works and then challenge you to try it over the weekend.

April 2 – Past meets present
We're challenging you to find an old photograph of someplace nearby, then line it up and photograph the present-day view. This assignment is inspired by the Flickr group that issues the same challenge.
April 9 – $10 thrifty challenge
How far can $10 stretch? For our last weekend assignment, we're asking you to spend $10 and show us what you purchased.
Stay tuned for more details. And enjoy this weekend's mobile assignment.
Black billowing plumes of thick smoke rose from a building in the tech sector of Austin, Texas, as many commuters were heading to work this morning. A man harboring a grudge against the IRS had crashed a small plane into a building housing an IRS office. iReporters became CNN's eyes, showing us dramatic images of the fire and telling us what was happening on the ground.
"It was pretty frightening at the time, but the whole building just shook violently. It felt like a bomb hit it," says iReporter Ray Cano, who works in the building. "Everyone was running down the stairwell as fast as they could."
Nearby, Ryan Hayes and his wife were driving along the highway when they noticed traffic was bottlenecking as cars passed the crash site. He happens to carry a camera with him in his car. He couldn't believe that such a small plane could cause so much destruction.
In another neighborhood, a house that had been ablaze earlier in the morning became a piece of the puzzle. The pilot had lit his home on fire and left a suicide note before taking off in the plane.
Sherri Stepan lives two streets over from the pilot in the Scofield Farms subdivision. She says she didn't realize the burning house was connected until she heard about the plane crash on the news.
"It's a sad day for Austin. It's a sad day for my neighborhood too. This affects many people, and also that family," she said.
We won't be able to hold our weekly roundtable today because of breaking news, but feel free to talk with each other in the comments.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but we'll be back next week.
Hey iReport land, we are proud to introduce the newest member of Team iReport – Jordan Sarver.
Jordan is busy working behind the scenes this spring as our faithful intern. He's already proved to be an invaluable member of the team by helping uncover breaking news iReports out of the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
Jordan's a grad student at the University of Georgia studying health and medical journalism. He's very interested in telling stories about how the places we live and work affect our health. In fact, Jordan is leading a new iReport assignment that asks how your neighborhood affects your diet.
When he's not busy talking with iReporters about their submissions, Jordan enjoys working out, watching TV, and playing the guitar. He's also a sharp dresser, as you can see.
But perhaps the coolest thing about Jordan is that before he was an intern at CNN iReport, he was an iReporter just like you. Check out his past submissions here.
If you think you've got what it takes to be the next iReport intern, please apply to our summer opening here.
After hearing about climber Joseph Bohlig's fall into the volcanic crater of Mount St. Helens, Richard Keith Beckwith couldn't help but think about his niece Leigh Castleton's trip up the mountain just a few weeks before. Castleton had some footage from the late January climb, so Beckwith helped her share the video with CNN iReport under the username kbeckwith9.
Castleton says her trip was her first big mountain climb. The Portland, Oregon, resident had taken backpacking trips before, but nothing like this adventure. She says she felt lucky to be traveling with her local alpine club and an experienced crew. She advises anyone else to travel with people who know what they are doing. "It was a huge accomplishment for me anyway, but then when you hear things like that, the reality is that you have to be careful."
One incident stands out in her mind in which she feels her guides helped the group remain safe. Castleton says a climber got too close to the rim and accidentally knocked a protective snow cornice down toward the crater. He lost his footing and began to fall. Luckily, she says, he was able to stop himself from going into the crater, but she says the cornice made a thud when it went down.
"[The climber] was able to jump toward us. I heard the boom, and he was rolling down the mountain, and then he stopped and stood up and everyone was shocked because he didn't go down with it."
Bohlig is thought to have died after stepping onto a snow cornice to have a photo taken, causing the cornice to give way. Castleton says the climber she saw during her trip was "very, very fortunate." The kbeckwith9 video includes footage of the mountain before Castleton witnessed the climber get close to the ledge. She says hearing about a person actually falling down Mount St. Helens was both sobering and a reminder of the importance of having trained guides to show you how to remain safe during a climb. "They knew exactly where to draw that line," she said, referring literally and figuratively to a line in the snow pointing to where climbers shouldn't go. Near the end of the video, Castleton talks about the point where she couldn't get any closer to the edge for fear of falling off.
What are your thoughts on this news? Have you ever climbed Mount St. Helens or another peak? Share your story with us, and tell us how you stay safe.
When Sebastiano Puglia first met a young woman named Giovanna, he fell in love. He would write poems for her and recite them outside her window in hopes of winning her heart. His plan worked; they are still together after 65 years of marriage.
Laura Ricciardi, Sebastiano and Giovanna's granddaughter, shared their love story on CNN iReport just in time for Valentine's Day. "I think they have any amazingly strong relationship," she said. "I haven't been able to figure out their secret yet, but I do think it has to do with an incredible amount of mutual respect. And spunk. There's still so much fire between them."
Laura was one of several iReporters to share how-we-met stories just like the couples in "When Harry Met Sally." The submissions were just as delightful as the classic romantic comedy, which hit theaters 20 years ago.
Lulis and Mitch met on a rainy day in New York. They lived in different cities at the time, but now are happily married 15 years later. Al and Roberta met at a country club in California. Al waited more than an hour to ask Roberta to dance -- he was listening for a slow song. Becky and John (full disclosure: they're my in-laws) admired each other at work and just celebrated 31 years of marriage. And an angry phone call brought Andy and Adriana together; you should hear their story – it's hilarious.
It was so fun to hear such sweet stories and inspiring to see couples who have found true love. Check here to watch all of the submissions, along with a couple from Team iReport. We hope you all have a happy Valentine's Day!

iReporters may be trapped by the snow, but imaginations are running wild. We have received several photos of snow creations from around the nation.
iReporter LindaFlores created a cowboy-inspired snowman with her family in Arlington, Texas, after they received nine inches of snow Thursday night. Brian Carnie created his snowman in celebration of Mardi Gras for his newborn daughter. The Shreveport, Louisiana resident said, "We had a baby a month ago, and she may be 10 before we have another snow like this."
Region isn't the only thing inspiring iReporters. Matthew Brooks, aka mdbrooks , and& his roommate's Lady Gaga snow creation was inspired by an old Halloween costume. And this New Jersey snowman has international roots being created by two students from India and one from St. Petersburg, Russia.
There are also snowmen protesting global warming on the Capitol submitted by AW2010 , and a fire-breathing snowman by nickandanna .
Check out our largest, weirdest, and most impressive snow creations in the CNN.com gallery , and upload your own photos and videos to show us how you are dealing with this winter weather.
Please join us at 3 p.m. ET for our weekly roundtable discussion.
It's a great opportunity to talk with Team iReport about what's going on in the news and here at CNN iReport.
Before we get started, I want to let everyone know about a really cool resource for iReporters, or anyone who wants to be a better journalist. The Knight Digital Media Center at UC Berkeley has put together tutorials on video techniques, photography, and multimedia storytelling that are really useful. I encourage you to check them out.
We'll open comments at 3 p.m. ET.
Talk to you then.

As someone with an interest in health disparities, I know that health care reform isn't the sole solution to health problems facing Americans. It seems many iReporters know this too. We received dozens of questions for Michelle Obama's Larry King Live interview and many of them were about health-related issues, among other topics.
The first lady appeared on Larry King Live to talk about her "Let's Move" initiative – a nationwide campaign to combat childhood obesity that launched yesterday. During her interview, she answered a question from an iReporter about improving school lunches.
Amie Hamlin, aka HealthyFood, asked Mrs. Obama how we can make children's health a true priority with the funding to back it up. Hamlin is the executive director of the New York Coalition for Healthy School Food.
In response, Mrs. Obama said, "We've got to provide parents with the information and the tools they need to make better decisions, but we also need to significantly change the quality of food that kids are getting at school."
After hearing the interview, Hamlin said she was encouraged by Mrs. Obama's "focus on the quality of the food," but she also has some additional concerns. "I am very encouraged by her focus on the quality of the food, but it will take more than $10 billion over 10 years to make this happen. That's less than an additional 20 cents per meal. That's not going to make the whole meal quality food, but it is a start."
Hamlin also submitted a follow-up video with her thoughts on Obama's answer.
As always, it's great to have everyday people affected by changes in policy directly address those who help create it. Thanks Amie for your question, and keep an eye on the iReport assignment desk for more opportunities to ask CNN guests your questions.
If you took a high school English class in the last half of the 20th century (or after), chances are you read "The Catcher in the Rye." And if you were like me, you were thrilled at all the teenage freedom and bad words and raw feeling in a classroom assignment.
After author J.D. Salinger died last month, we challenged the iReport community to give the book a fresh read and see how we -- most of us pretty well grown up by now -- liked it as adults.
I think iReport producer Katie Hawkins-Gaar said it best. When I asked her what she thought re-reading the book as an adult, she said as a teenager she'd wanted to hang out with Holden Caulfield, the troubled main character, but as an adult she wanted to hug him.
iReporter Lulis Leal (known by most everyone on this site as JoyfulGypsy) came to a similar conclusion, even though she'd hated him for his endless whining the first time through. "His compassion redeemed him for me," she said.
Matt Morone, aka TeacherMM84, had an interesting perspective: he'd just recently finished teaching "Catcher" to his high school students when Salinger died. He told us he always expects his students to split on the book, half swooning and half hating it. He told us the book has grown on him over the years as he's come to appreciate what he says is its message: "As Holden stands beside the carousel in the final scene of the novel, we know that amidst all the pain, there is a glimmer of hope."
Myself, I remember loving it the first time around, but mostly because my teacher said it was just awful. And it felt pretty good to call her a phony. Now that I think about it, that was probably her plan all along. Nice one, Mrs. Gilbert.
Thanks to everyone who read along. If you did, too, let us know what you thought in the comments.
Soon after the earthquake hit in Haiti, ChrisMorrow wanted to do whatever she could to help, starting with pitching in on CNN iReport's Haiti database. She began following the progress of the local San Diego Rescue Task Force who were determined to deliver as much aid as possible to the Haitian people. This led to her getting the opportunity to fly to Haiti and iReport from there for a week.
While staying in Sean Penn's camp, ChrisMorrow toured remote hospitals, tent cities and scenes of complete devastation, two weeks out from the quake.
All of this moved her in a big way: In a live interview, she told HLN's Richelle Carey, "I find myself in tears most of the time."
CNN's Errol Barnett spoke with ChrisMorrow while she was in Haiti as well. Check out the interview here, and if you have a story from the aftermath of the quake, share your iReport.
Please join us at 3 p.m. ET for our weekly roundtable discussion. We're looking forward to talking with you.
This is a great opportunity to meet other members of the CNN iReport community and to share any questions, comments or concerns you may have.
Comments will open at 3 p.m. ET. See you then.
Hey iReporters,
Just a quick note to let you know that our developers will be making some upgrades to our database tomorrow morning.
There will be a brief site service outage - about 15 minutes - starting around 7 a.m. ET.
If during that outage you need to send an iReport that just can't wait - please do so by sending it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Update: We're all better now :)
Please join us in congratulating brixton and dpkronmiller, the latest CNN iReporters to pass the 1 million page views mark.
brixton has been a part of the iReport community since the beginning and his funny, and often scathing, political cartoons are guaranteed to spark a lively conversation. He's also a really talented artist, so his takes on Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney, the economic crisis and even steroids in baseball are as interesting to look at as they are to talk about.
His review of CNN iReport's redesign last year is still one of our favorites.
dpkronmiller joined the CNN iReport community in June 2008, when partisan bickering over the presidential campaign was nearing its peak, and he could always be counted on for a well thought out and good-natured discussion.
He quickly developed as a storyteller, with iReports on a Los Angeles theater that turned to burlesque to survive and a touching interview with filmmaker Kurt Kuenne, who directed a documentary about his his best friend's murder.
When he lost his job last year, dpkronmiller shared his insider's insider's view of the recession. He also showed us low-budget movie making techniques and documented the production of "and Boris," a spy-comedy Web series he created with a few friends, some basic equipment and almost no money. You can watch seasons 1 and 2 at the and Boris Web site.
We're really happy that brixton and dpkronmiller are members of the CNN iReport community and are thrilled that so many people have gotten to see their work. Congratulations.

A sea-change in Irish government-Catholic Church relations took place yesterday.
In the government's official response to the Cloyne Report, Taoiseach Enda Kenny gave an unprecedented speech to the Dáil, excoriating the Vatican for its efforts to block co-operation with the investigation by civil authorities of clerical child abuse:
… for the first time in Ireland, a report into child sexual-abuse exposes an attempt by the Holy See, to frustrate an Inquiry in a sovereign, democratic republic, as little as three years ago, not three decades ago.
And in doing so, the Cloyne Report excavates the dysfunction, disconnection, elitism… the narcissism that dominate the culture of the Vatican to this day.
He rebuked the Holy See for putting the position of the Church above consideration of the children abused by priests.
The rape and torture of children were downplayed or 'managed' to uphold instead, the primacy of the institution, its power, standing and 'reputation'.
There was anger, but it was controlled, as a steelily determined Taoiseach asserted the primacy of the Republic:
…this is not Rome.
Nor is it industrial-school or Magdalene Ireland, where the swish of a soutane smothered conscience and humanity and the swing of a thurible ruled the Irish-Catholic world.
This is the 'Republic' of Ireland 2011.
A Republic of laws… of rights and responsibilities… of proper civic order… where the delinquency and arrogance of a particular version… of a particular kind of 'morality'… will no longer be tolerated or ignored.
In case the Vatican wasn't hearing him clearly enough, Kenny saved the killer blow for last. This was the 'kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse' moment.
But the Taoiseach was aiming higher. Much higher:
Cardinal Josef Ratzinger said: 'Standards of conduct appropriate to civil society or the workings of a democracy cannot be purely and simply applied to the Church.'
As the Holy See prepares its considered response to the Cloyne Report, as Taoiseach, I am making it absolutely clear, that when it comes to the protection of the children of this State, the standards of conduct which the Church deems appropriate to itself, cannot and will not, be applied to the workings of democracy and civil society in this republic.
Not purely, or simply or otherwise.
If Enda Kenny never manages to do another memorable thing as Taoiseach, he will still be remembered.
For this speech. (See full text and video.)

As most likely know, early this morning, a gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut tragically killing 26 people, including 20 small children.
The nation is still reeling with shock and grief.
Out of respect for those affected by this horrific event, Syfy has chosen to pull Friday's episode of the supernatural drama Haven, which featured a high school violence storyline.
"Tonight's scheduled 10 p.m. episode of Haven contained scenes of fictitious violence in a high school. In light of today's tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, we have decided not to air it," Syfy announced in a statement. "At this time, no decision has been made as to when the episode will air."
The network will air a repeat of Eureka in place of the scheduled Haven episode.

Perhaps the greatest luxury of modern man is the home cooked meal. While there are innumerous ways to cook, there is no invention that can compare with the modern cooking range.
When your range is broken, simple things like boiling water or scrambling an egg can become impossible.
At Tiger Mechanical, we specialize in both high-end and consumer grade range repair. Our fast and professional technicians are factory-authorized to work on most high-end range brands including Air King, Alfresco, Avanti, Bertazzoni, Bosch, Blomberg, DCS, Gaggenau, ILVE, La Canuche, La Cornue, and Thermador as well as other popular brands such as Maytag, Whirlpool, Kenmore, Viking, and more.
Tiger Mechanical is a leader in range repair in Maricopa County. With an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and over 25 years of field experience, Tiger Mechanical offers a 5-year warranty on parts and 1-year warranty on labor to insure that your issue is resolved correctly in as little as one visit.
Terminology can become confusing when discussing ranges, stoves, and ovens. The stove refers only to the stovetop, which typically consists of four to six burners. A stove is used for surface cooking like boiling, frying, sauteing, etc. The oven is an enclosed device used for baking, roasting, and broiling. The range is a combination unit consisting of both a stove and an oven.
Ranges come in two primary types based on their heating method: electric and gas. Electric ranges heat metal coils to apply heat directly while gas ranges produce controlled flame for heat.
Common problems with electric stovetops may include:
Common problems with gas stovetops include:
Common problems with ovens include:
Other problems may include issues with your stove top display including the clock or timer. Newer models often display error codes. These can sometimes be reset simply by unplugging and re-plugging the machine, but for persistent errors, you should call a factory-certified professional.
