The 2017-18 School Year is Going to be GREAT!
Hello! My name is Catherine Rutkoski and I am a kindergarten teacher at Valley View Elementary School. This is my 17th year teaching here at Valley View, but this is my 22nd year teaching kindergarten. I have also taught one year each of first and second grades and was a school librarian for one year. I live in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania with my husband, Joe, and two daughters, Tamara and MaryJo. I also have a black lab/boxer mix named Betsy. When not thinking about kindergarten, which isn't often, I enjoy reading, baking, trying new recipes, spending time with my family and all things Disney (especially Pluto)!
Kindergarten is a very special and important year in every child's education. It is where the seeds of curiosity and learning are planted. I am so excited to share this wonderful experience with my students. It is my goal to help each of my students develop to their fullest potential and, above all, see school as a fun, exciting place to be!
If at any time you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at
(908) 832-9504 x 105 or by Email.

11 Recommended Tourist Attractions in Sukhothai
Hi there. Many of you may have been to Sukhothai already. I believe there are some people still haven't visited this province before or have been here for so long ... long enough to forget about it.
Sukhothai contains both historical and cultural tourist attractions. The journey is also convenient; by plane, coach bus and train. Actually I'm an outsider who works in Sukhothai for 3-4 years and like traveling.
So, I would like to share information with everyone in case you have an opportunity to come...
1. Wat Mahathat
Sunset point
1. Wat Mahathat Historic Town of Sukhothai and Associated Historic Towns is the most significant place during Sukhothai period. To compare with present, it would be Wat Pra Kaew. This temple used to host Phra Shakyamuni image which is currently situated at Wat Suthat in Bnagkok. And this temple is also the best location to watch sunset.
2. Wat Si Chum
2. Wat Si Chum Sukhothai History Park is another important location. "If you come to Sukhothai but didn't worship Phra Acana of Wat Si Chum. It means you haven't arrived Sukohthai yet." The charm of Phra Acana is an original Sukhothai art.
3. Stupa
3. Wat Phra Si Rattana Maha That (Chaleang) or Wat Phra Prang Si Satchanalai Historical Park is well known as ancient town of Sukhothai. It developed together with Sukhothai in the past.
Transportation is not difficult. From downtown, use Highway no.101. Go straight for 55km. The historical park is on the left hand side.
4. Tham Jao Ram
4. Tham Jao Ram, Amphoe Ban Dan Lan Hoi, is home to massive numbers of Tadarida plicata. They pour out of the cave entrance and fly across the horizon.
During summer and winter, you can see them around 6.00PM - 7.00PM. In winter, the sun sets early at 5.30PM - 6.30PM. You can bring tent.
5. Khlong Maphlap Railway Station
5. Khlong Maphlap Railway Station, Amphoe Sri Nakorn, is a tiny train station with only 1 trip per day; Uttaradit - Bangkok. From Sukhothai, take Highway no.101 for 40km.
Then turn right to Highway no.1180, Sawankhalok - Srinakon. Go straight for another 20km. The station is on your left hand.
6. Group of Albino buffalo at Organic Agriculture Project, Sukhothai Airport
6. Group of Albino buffalo at Organic Agriculture Project, Sukhothai Airport. There are over 200 buffalo inside the airport.
7. Wat Walukaram or Wat Tanod
Chic barbershop
Cute tailor's shop
7. Wat Walukaram and Baan Mai Boran Community, Amphoe Kirimas : Villagers still well preserve local culture and habitation.
8. Phra Buddha Rattana Siri Sukhothai
8. The Holy Heart Land or Talay Luang Village is a large storage canal in coastal area called Kaem Ling Project. If you fly across, you will see heart shaped land in the middle, 15km. from downtown.
It is the center of locals and holds "Phra Buddha Rattana Siri Sukhothai" image.
9. Marigold Field, Pak Khwae, Amphoe Muang
9. Marigold Field, Pak Khwae, Amphoe Muang : It is located next to Highway no.1195 near airport. You will find marigold filed lining across over 20 Rai.
Suitable period to take photo is January to March. If you come in the morning, you will see farmers collecting flowers.
10. Fog sea at Huay Ton Hai view point, Baan Na Ton Jan, Amphoe Si Satchanalai
Cycling by beautiful field
10. Fog sea at Huay Ton Hai view point, Baan Na Ton Jan, Amphoe Si Satchanalai ^__^ You understand correctly, Sukhothai also has fog sea, very gorgeous one. It is inside Baan Na Ton Jan Community which is a well known community of Sukhothai. You can pedal to watch garden, green field and fog sea which is so-called one stop location. I recommend to stay for 2 nights. The highlight is you can set up tent at view point where offers sunrise and sunset view. It doesn't take long time to walk up the hill as well. Very convenient.
11. Ramkhamhaeng National Park
11. Ramkhamhaeng National Park is where you have to conquer once in lifetime. It is a well known brave testing place in Sukhothai with the height os 1,200m. from sea level.
It is the highest mountain in province consist of Narai peak, Jaedee peak, Phra Mae Ya peak and Phuga peak. Every second Saturday of December, there will be annual Khao Luang conquer competition.

1. Write long, edit short.
"I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead." So said Mark Twain, and it still holds true today (just replace "letter" with "email").
It's quicker and easier to send a long message than a short one. But for the reader or listener, the opposite holds true. If you want people to actually read what you send or listen to what you say, you have to do the heavy lifting for them.
Take a moment to edit it before you hit send. Say "because" instead of "due to the fact that." Use "When would you like this by?" not "I was just wondering if you had a timeline for the delivery of this project."
You can still be polite and friendly - but you don't have to be fawning or verbose. Free up your audience to focus on the content of your message rather than its delivery.
Too busy still? Staff it out to Hemingway.
2. Get to the point.
What's the ask of your email? Is that clear from the first line, or better yet, from the subject? If not, take a moment to move it up and make it clear. The more work the reader has to do to figure out your ask, the less likely they are to stay engaged and respond.
The same goes for verbal communication. Ask your question then give (a little bit of) the background. If you start with too much context, your listener will have zoned out before you've reached your point.
3. Tailor to your audience.
It's great that your product saves money. But if you're pitching to an engineer, they're more likely to care about its reliability and the fact it elicits fewer calls to tech support than they are the bottom line.
Before you frame a message, first establish whom you are trying to reach. Tailor your content to their concerns, not your own or anyone else's.
4. Listen before you speak.
What do you learn when you're the only person talking? Nothing. We all talk more than we listen, but with two ears and one mouth, we'd perhaps do well to reverse that ratio.
Any good communicator (or salesperson) knows that if you can get the other person to do most of the talking, you'll set yourself up for success.
Listening isn't easy - especially with so many distractions making it increasingly hard to focus on a single thing. But if you can block out the noise and actively listen to your client, boss, partner, or friend, you'll reap the rewards of being engaged. And you'll be remembered for it.
5. Ask questions.
Don't be afraid to ask for a rephrase if you don't understand something. Combined with strong listening, judicious use of questioning shows that you care and helps you to learn. Well, depending on what you ask, that is.
Use questions to drill deeper and to make the best possible use of your time - and theirs.
6. Don't reply-all to company-wide emails. Everybody hates that.
Enough said.
Do you have any tips for communicating well? Get in touch and we'll share the best ones.

The Samoans have something more to rejoice– it is the year to Celebrate Samoa - where the nation celebrates key sporting and cultural milestones and anniversaries!
The celebrations kick off the first week of September with the 20th Anniversary of the Teuila Festival – one of the biggest cultural festivals in the South Pacific. The festival showcases numerous cultural activities such as choral exhibitions and traditional entertainment such as the Siva Afi (fire knife dancing). There is also the Fautasi (long boat) regatta, wood carving demonstrations and tattooing. The celebrations culminate in the annual Miss Samoa pageant.
One of the most exciting events in the nation is the annual Palolo Rise. Twice a year, summoned by the waning moonlight, the palolo reef worm rises from the coral to spawn. The palolo is deeply embedded in the Samoan cultural and culinary history and its short lived annual appearance during spawning is celebrated during the last quarter of the moon in October and November.
On a sporting level, the rugby crazy Samoans want you to cheer with them at the Apia Park International Stadium. This multi-function sport complex is home to Samoa national rugby union team, Manu Samoa and will play host to the Marist Samoa 7s and Oceania 7s Championships in October.
2012 starts the most unusual way when on 29 December 2011, Samoa officially travels in time and changes time zone to be in line with Australia and New Zealand. Samoa will jump from the 29th to the 31st of December and will be one of the first nations to greet the New Year. From Saturday 31 December, Samoa will be an hour ahead of New Zealand and three hours ahead of Australia.
Celebrate Samoa culminates in the 50th celebrations of Samoa's Independence. Expect some amazing activities during this week-long cultural celebration in the country's capital.
According to Adele Leathan of Samoa Tourism Authority, "There really is no better time to go to Samoa than in the next twelve months".
"There is something happening almost every month catering to every kind of traveler. We have events that the whole family can enjoy such as the Teuila Festival, we have the 7s rugby championships, Samoa Open Golf Tournament, Judo World Cup and International Game Fishing Tournament for the sporting buffs plus Palolo Rise and the International Tatau Festival for those craving a cultural experience.
"The 50th Anniversary of Samoan Independence will be one of the biggest events in the Samoan event calendar. We are expecting families and friends from all over the world to come to our island and join in on the celebrations so make sure you book early to avoid disappointment!" says Adele.

BlackLight: Tango Down sequel in the works
Having just released BlackLight: Tango Down on Xbox Live Arcade last week and Games for Windows Live today (Steam/Impulse/PSN releases are expected shortly), developer Zombie Studios is already pounding away on a second game.
CEO Mark Long has confirmed that Blacklight: Tango Down 2 (working title) is being readied for a 'summer 2011' release, and promises the multiplayer shooter to include bigger maps as well as player-controlled 'mech-like vehicles'.
Sadly, that means no DLC for the first game. Bug fixes and such will still be addressed, but any new content is a no go.

Running in Snow
So is it weird that i woke up early the day after thanksgiving... looked out the window and said "it snowed! i'm going for a run!"? Now, had i looked outside and saw that it was gray and just kind of wet - i wouldn't have been so excited about running - but the fact that it snowed was enough to get me up and moving. This run was pretty cool b/c of the weird fall we've had... while the ground was covered with snow and even the streets had not been totally cleared - there we still leaves on the trees. This one particularly beautiful yellow that looked like it finally gave in once the snow came b/c on top of the snow was a beautiful ring of freshly fallen yellow leaves. While i was running i was thinking about an article in runners world that was talking about not gaining weight over the holidays. The one articles said get out there and run, even if it's not your best run, the longer you keep your legs moving the more calories you burn up. Well maybe that's not what it said - but that's what i got out of it. Let me tell you that was the only thing that kept moving that day - my legs were like lead! When all was said and done i ran about 4.5 miles at about a nine minute pace -- not real quick - but i burned off some turkey and got to see some really awesome sights of fall clashing with winter.

I love running in the snow! It has such a calming effect. Same thing with running really early when no one else is out.

Hot fun in the bath with Filipina teens Joy and Tanya
Before you get too excited I just want to make it clear that yes these girls are 18 and they are in fact no strangers to the seedy sex industry in Manila. Joy Villa has been one of our most popular girls for a very long time and yes she does do hardcore. There is nothing that makes these nubile Filipina girls hotter than a liberal covering of soap bubbles or baby oil and because of that I would say this is one of our hottest and most requested picture series of all time. I hope you enjoy these ultimate LBFM girls, we have plent more coming soon.

Data is as ubiquitous as cash for many companies, but that doesn't necessarily mean they all treat it with the level of care and attention it deserves. As a result, the quality and reliability of data can vary not only from one organization to the next, but also with across the enterprise.
For example, at many companies, the same business data elements (BDEs) — such as "customer name" and "customer address" — reside in multiple instances throughout the organization, with small inconsistencies in the names of fields and data formatting. Consider how one customer, ABC Technologies, Inc., might be presented in different databases and columns across multiple functional areas of a fictional organization:
In this example (which is actually quite typical), the data quality problems are clear and numerous. The same two data elements, customer name and address, appear in differently named fields in different repositories. In addition, there is variation in the way the data values appear in the fields. Because of these discrepancies, one can imagine the difficulty in trying to aggregate all the data about this customer — let alone generate any reliable reporting around it. And keep in mind, this is just one specific BDE, of which the typical company maintains hundreds or even thousands.
If these discrepancies seem trivial, consider that as a result, this organization may not be able to gain accurate insights into important company metrics. If asked to gather billing history about ABC Technologies, for example, a company analyst might find some of the records listed above, but certainly not all. The CFO might report inaccurate data to external stakeholders, over-count some key pieces of data in an investor report, or miss other data altogether.
How data quality management helps
Data quality management is the practice of understanding how data is created, modified and consumed across the organization, and improving its consistency and availability to those who need it. This is not just a nice-to-have improvement — it's actually a way the organization can better position itself to serve its customers, outmaneuver the competition and increase profits.
Data quality management plays a role in a variety of financial analyses an organization must do:
Give data scientists and analysts access to better data sources — The ability to aggregate data on customers, revenue, profitability and other areas is essential to meaningful analysis. But when data quality is not well managed, the analysts may be drawing conclusions based on duplicated or incomplete information. The larger the organization and its data assets, the more likely there are data redundancies — or data that should be the same, but contains inconsistencies. Better data quality leads to better analyses, and better analyses lead to better decisions.
Reduce the time needed to implement data-intense initiatives — There are potentially many financially-focused activities that can benefit from quality data, ranging from implementation of CRMs, ERPs and other data repositories, to Hadoop/big data, data warehouses, BI solutions and more. It goes without saying that the better the quality of the data that feeds into such initiatives, the less time and effort will be needed comparing and cleaning up the data before implementation (and financial insights) can begin.
Find where data is lowering profits — On another level, data quality management can help the organization gain insights into its data as an asset class. For example, the process could help management better understand the economic contributions or costs of specific data assets to the firm's P&L, balance sheet and cashflow. It's not uncommon to find that certain data elements are costing a firm in the course of day-to-day operations, based on re-work and misuse caused by data quality problems.
Despite these and other compelling scenarios that illustrate the importance of data quality management, most organizations manage to get by despite their data quality. It's the rare company that bothers to quantify the financial impact of its data quality problems, let alone build a business case for addressing them. Instead, they may spend their resources on technology problems that are perceived rather than real, without a clear sense of whether their efforts are making a difference.

Mandakini Ayapilla
They continue a tradition quite common in Bollywood music, that of partnerships between music composers contributing and pooling their individual strengths, sometimes combining deep knowledge of Hindustani (North Indian) or Carnatic (South Indian) classical music and technical expertise as composers and orchestral arrangers.
In 2004, they received their first National Film Award for Best Music Direction for the film Kal Ho Naa Ho.
Most of the lyrics for the songs composed by the trio are penned by Javed Akhtar; however, they have also associated with lyricists like Gulzar, Sameer, and Prasoon Joshi.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy probably represent the first 'trio' of music composers to entertain Bollywood audiences with their chart-topping music.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have bridged that gap. Their success owes to several contributing factors, among which are the adoption of interesting musical instruments and sounds as part of their orchestral palette, introduction of new voices weaned on popular TV musical talent shows, and an obsession for the right musical 'feel' for the movie scene leading into a song sequence.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have composed for most of the films produced by Excel Entertainment, founded by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani. They have also associated frequently with Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. Other notable collaborations are with directors like Nikhil Advani, Shaad Ali, Sriram Raghavan and Sajid Khan.
The trio have won several awards including Filmfare awards (Bunty Aur Babli, Kal Ho Naa Ho), a RD Burman Award (Dil Chahta Hai) and Star Screen awards (Mission Kashmir, Bunty Aur Babli, Dil Chahta Hai).
Apart from film, they have also composed The ICC World Cup song 'De Ghuma Ke', which is a peppy foot-tapping number and has been appreciated a lot.
The trio had composed the music for Housefull and Heyy Babby. But for his third outing as music directors, Sajid preferred to work with the composer duo.
Famous Bollywood musician Ehsaan Noorani of Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy fame is the first Indian to have a signature line guitar from none other than the biggest guitar company in the world-Fender.

Q: I submitted a Sitemap, but my URLs haven't been [crawled/indexed] yet. Isn't that what a Sitemap is for?
A: Submitting a Sitemap helps you make sure Google knows about the URLs on your site. It can be especially helpful if your content is not easily discoverable by our crawler (such as pages accessible only through a form). It is not, however, a guarantee that those URLs will be crawled or indexed. We use information from Sitemaps to augment our usual crawl and discovery processes.
Q: If it doesn't get me automatically crawled and indexed, what does a Sitemap do?
A: Sitemaps give information to Google to help us better understand your site. This can include making sure we know about all your URLs, how often and when they're updated, and what their relative importance is. Also, if you submit your Sitemap via Webmaster Tools, we'll show you stats such as how many of your Sitemap's URLs are indexed.
Q: Will a Sitemap help me rank better?
A: A Sitemap does not affect the actual ranking of your pages. However, if it helps get more of your site crawled (by notifying us of URLs we didn't previously didn't know about, and/or by helping us prioritize the URLs on your site), that can lead to increased presence and visibility of your site in our index.
Q: If I set all of my pages to have priority 1.0, will that make them rank higher (or get crawled faster) than someone else's pages that have priority 0.8?
A: No. As stated in our Help Center, "priority only indicates the importance of a particular URL relative to other URLs on your site, and doesn't impact the ranking of your pages in search results." Indicating that all of your pages have the same priority is the same as not providing any priority information at all.
Q: Is there any point in submitting a Sitemap if all the metadata (<changefreq>, <priority>, etc.) is the same for each URL, or if I'm not sure it's accurate?
A: If the value of a particular tag is the same for 100% of the URLs in your Sitemap, you don't need to include that tag in your Sitemap. Including it won't hurt you, but it's essentially the same as not submitting any information, since it doesn't help distinguish between your URLs. If you're not sure whether your metadata is accurate (for example, you don't know when a particular URL was last modified), it's better to omit that tag for that particular URL than to just make up a value which may be inaccurate.
Q: I've heard about people who submitted a Sitemap and got penalized shortly afterward. Can a Sitemap hurt you?
A: Only if it falls on you from a great height. (Seriously, though: if it ever happened that someone was penalized after submitting a Sitemap, it would have been purely coincidental. Google does not penalize you for submitting a Sitemap.)
Q: Where can I put my Sitemap? Does it have to be at the root of my site?
A: We recently enabled Sitemap cross-submissions, which means that you can put your Sitemap just about anywhere as long as you have the following sites verified in your Webmaster Tools account:
- the site on which the Sitemap is located
- the site(s) whose URLs are referenced in the Sitemap
Q: Can I just submit the site map that my webmaster made of my site? I don't get this whole XML thing.
A: There's a difference between a (usually HTML) site map built to help humans navigate around your site, and an XML Sitemap built for search engines. Both of them are useful, and it's great to have both. A site map on your domain can also help search engines find your content (since crawlers can follow the links on the page). However, if you submit an HTML site map in place of a Sitemap, Webmaster Tools will report an error because an HTML page isn't one of our recognized Sitemap formats. Also, if you create an XML Sitemap, you'll be able to give us more information than you can with an HTML site map (which is just a collection of links).
Q: Which Sitemap format is the best?
A: We recommend the XML Sitemap protocol as defined by sitemaps.org. XML Sitemaps have the advantage of being upgradeable: you can start simple if you want (by just listing your URLs), but—unlike a text file Sitemap—you can easily upgrade an XML Sitemap later on to include more metadata. XML Sitemaps are also more comprehensive than an Atom or RSS feed submitted as a Sitemap, since feeds usually only list your most recent URLs (rather than all the URLs you want search engines to know about).
Q: If I have multiple URLs that point to the same content, can I use my Sitemap to indicate my preferred URL for that content?
A: Yes. While we can't guarantee that our algorithms will display that particular URL in search results, it's still helpful for you to indicate your preference by including that URL in your Sitemap. We take this into consideration, along with other signals, when deciding which URL to display in search results.
Q: Does the placement of a URL within a Sitemap file matter? Will the URLs at the beginning of the file get better treatment than the URLs near the end?
A: No, and no.
Q: If my site has multiple sections (e.g. a blog, a forum, and a photo gallery), should I submit one Sitemap for the site, or multiple Sitemaps (one for each section)?
A: You may submit as few or as many Sitemaps as you like (up to these limits). Organize them in whatever way you find easiest to maintain. If you create multiple Sitemaps, you can use a Sitemap Index file to list them all.

I chopped most of my hair off in August, and I love it! I have 4b-4c hair, and I've changed the products I use a little bit for the winter, but the majority if not all of the products I use are mentioned in my ¨Favorite Products For Natural Hair¨ post. This post is just showing you how I use the products and the order in which I use them.
First I use the Cantu Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner ($18.50). I like it because it's lightweight, and it prevents breakage.
In my opinion, this works just as well as the SheaMoisture Coconut and Hibiscus Shampoo and Conditioner ($20), I've just been using the Cantu one recently.
While in the shower, I also detangle my hair, because it is easiest to detangle when wet. I use the Conair Styling Essentials Detangling Comb ($5.53)
After coming out of the shower, I use the Cantu Argan Oil Leave-In Conditioner (5.99). Recently, I've been leaving my hair alone but I do tend to style the front a lot, and this leave-in protects my hair from all the styling and gel. I use the Argan Oil Eco Styler Gel.
Then use Jamaican Black Castor Oil ($7.99). You've probably heard a lot about this product, it's GREAT for hair growth.
Recently, I've been diffusing my hair because its cold and I don't want to wait for it to dry. I put my hair dryer on medium heat, and I hold on each section for about 10 seconds. Within about 5 minutes, my hair is mostly dry, if not completely. If it's not completely dry, I just let the rest air dry.
BabylissPro Nano Titanium Universal Diffuser ($10.48)
In the morning, I put more leave-in conditioner, but a really small amount. Just on the ends, to define my curls. That's about it for my routine, I don't like to complicate the process with a lot of products. I'll be posting hair related things soon!

Leaks for Samsung Galaxy S8 has already started pouring out. Although Samsung's Flagship Note 7 is struggling after being recalled, Galaxy S8 which will be released next year will see some breakthrough designs and technology at least in Battery segment.
Earlier Samsung's policy of playing safe didn't go really well as the devices were found not to be very innovative, in terms of design and built, however, with the launch of S6 Edge was widely appreciated for its curved display. S7 Edge took it one step ahead and is one of the best Smartphones available right now.[wpsm_ads1 float="none"]
As per the latest information received the South Korean tech Giant it seems that it is doing away with the flat panel screen version for Galaxy S8, like it did with Note 7. The final design of S8 only has a curved screen display only with two variants at 5.1 and 5.5 inches.
Also Read : [wpsm_highlight color="red"]Best Dual Camera Phone [/wpsm_highlight]
It will, however, be very interesting to see what Samsung plans to name the devices to differentiate because all the version will be "edge" only. What do you think about this new strategy from Samsung ? Do you really think the Note 7 debacle will cause the brand a lot of harm or it will be forgotten soon ?Let us know in the comments below.

A welcoming retreat for the creatively spirited since 1870
Villa Soleil launched as a writers' retreat
The site of Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc was always a place of beauty and inspiration. It captured the attention of Auguste de Villemessant, the talented founder of Le Figaro, who realised its potential and built the elegant Villa Soleil; a writers' retreat nestled in the heart of paradise.
Antoine Sella rediscovers a forgotten jewel
For years and years the Villa Soleil remained obscure, abandoned and forgotten until one day a visionary young hotelier from Piedmont fell under its spell. It took Antoine Sella two years to restore the jewel he found and in January 1889 Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc opened its doors for the first time.
Dynamite and a brave new dawn
For many years Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc remained a winter destination only. Fashion at the time considered the Mediterranean Coast unhealthy and ill-suited during the summer. Battling scepticism, Antoine Sella prepared for the summer season and used dynamite to carve the now iconic seawater swimming pool out of natural basalt rock.
Creation of the yacht club
The swimming-pool and the Eden-Roc Pavilion were enlarged. The Yacht Club was born and the tearoom became the restaurant. Writers and artists including F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway used to come and stay for long sojourns. Fitzgerald immortalised the hotel as "Hôtel des Etrangers" in Tender Is the Night. In the 60s the shady beachside cabanas were opened and Marc Chagall enjoyed sketching there.
Bombardment of the Eden-Roc Pavilion
In 1944, the U.S. Navy bombarded the Eden-Roc pavilion. Three bombs demolished Eden-Roc. Their aim was to reach the Germans positioned in the port of La Garoupe and in the mosque, intending to destroy the cannons pointed on them, but the Americans ignored the fact that they were entirely made of wood. They rebuilt all the building at their own expense. During the challenging wartime period (1940-1945) the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc served as a key military hospital. Shortly after the war ended, General Eisenhower paid a special visit as a gesture of recognition and appreciation. Allied troops stayed here for almost three years and upon departure restored the hotel to its former glory
The harmony of a handpicked team
André Sella was particular about the artisans he employed. They had to share his passion for immaculate hospitality, and pursue it with the same uncompromising attention to detail, and when he was awarded the Merit Distinction he recognised his team's efforts by sharing it with them in this commemorative photograph.
The beginning of a love-story
Maja Oetker and Rudolph were sailing on a boat right in front of the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. It was in 1964. They discerned a mansion far away and fell under her spell, but it was too expensive for them at that time. Five years later, without even visiting the property, Mr. and Mrs. Oetker bought the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. André Sella wanted to sell the property to someone who would preserve the family tradition and the spirit of the hotel. Mr. Oetker promised to Mr. Sella not to let the staff go before their retirement.
A new era begins
In 1964 Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc cast its spell over Maja and Rudolph Oetker, as it had over so many others. But the Oetkers responded somewhat differently, they bought the iconic property. Finalising the deal took five long years, but it was the dawn of a new era for the hotel.
A new bar
The Eden Roc Pavilion's bar was renovated by Italian designer, Roberto Menghi. He wanted to give the feeling of being on a boat that is quite the spirit of the Eden-Roc Pavilion today. At that time a gourmet buffet was set up for the first time at the Eden-Roc restaurant.
Seven years of lavish care on the legend
In 2007 Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc launched a remarkable seven-year restoration. Continuing until 2013 the project upgraded key property features whilst protecting the rich heritage. Overseen by Mrs. Oetker and architect Luc Svetchine, the multi-million euro restoration created breathtaking new experiences, such as the revitalised Eden-Roc Grill.
AmfAR, chocolates and stars
May: The American Foundation for AIDS Research is one of the world's leading organisations dedicated to the support of HIV/AIDS research. Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc has proudly hosted this prestigious event annually since 2009. June: The first of its kind in France, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc's famed chocolaterie continues to delight guests with exquisite creations. Lilian Bonnefoi and his talented team of confectioners have mastered 18 different kinds of chocolate delicacies. They also make all the chocolate required for candies, desserts, meals, in-room service and gifts. October: Before the celebrations begin, there is always time to savour the winning of a cherished and coveted goal. When Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc was officially named one of the world's finest five-star hotels, it was a moment for well-deserved pride and reflection upon more than a century of impeccable service.
Villa Eleana, solitude and inspiration
More than 100 years after Antoine Sella redefined the standards of luxury hospitality, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc once again challenged the realms of indulgence. Situated in a secluded enclave away from the main buildings, Villa Eleana combines the ultimate in exclusive privacy with the impeccable hospitality of an iconic five-star hotel.
The height of luxury
Representing the end of its seven-year restoration project, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc restored all the rooms at the Eden-Roc Pavilion. A new and unique area was also revealed, the Eden-Roc Champagne Lounge, located at the top of the Eden-Roc Pavilion.
Eden-Roc 100 year anniversary
During the 2014 season, the Eden-Roc Pavilion celebrated its 100th anniversary. On this occasion many celebrations took our guests on a journey through history to relive some wonderful memories.
Palace distinction
On 22 July 2016, the mythical Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc was awarded the prestigious 'Palace distinction'. A source of pride for this 5 star hotel, a jewel of the Oetker Collection, recognised for its exceptional characteristics and qualities. Philippe Perd, Managing Director, expresses his great pride at receiving this award and praises the loyalty and effort of his teams, "men and women of real experience, entirely dedicated to our guests, who through their constant attentiveness make their stay unforgettable".

The book club will directly follow Melanie's weekly modified yoga class "You Don't Have to Teeny to Be a Yogini."

When One is Officially Snowed In
Seattle has been transformed. And the city has no idea what to do with itself (we're talking major shutdowns, the entire school system, seventy percent of the public transportation, several bridges) so it has released its residents out to play.
We trekked up to our favorite breakfast haunt along with approximately half the population of Seattle, jostling padded elbows and winking festively under beanies. I had the Rainbow Rumble (an appropriate name for the hippy veggie dish) and he had the Daily Special. We laughed with total strangers over snowball fights, chatted with a 3 year old on telemark skies, and cheered on the brave (and by brave I mean foolish) souls who sledded down the steepest street on nothing more than a cardboard box.
Jovial doesn't even quite cover it.
I've decided that I love the snow.
Like, "if you love it so much, you should marry it."
I think I might take it on as a mister.

Detroit — He might be the perfect catching contradiction. Or, rather, the imperfect study.
James McCann's early big-league profile was concise. A second-round draft pick from the University of Arkansas was a blessed defender and owned a fine throwing arm. It was the bat scouts had questions about.
Now, concerns drift more toward defense for a Tigers catcher, 27, who has begun his fourth season as the team's starter.
In tandem with blocking and framing skills that appear to have diminished, a McCann paradox can be found even in his new, bulkier physique. During the offseason he added 15-20 pounds, 10 of which were pumped into his legs as a means, in McCann's mind, to get stronger and add "mobility" to his catching base.
But is this helping?
He had a key passed ball in the ninth inning of Opening Day's bizarre scrum that ended when the Pirates won, 13-10, in 13 innings.
One mistake is not an indictment. One mistake added to overall blocking and framing statistics, each of which is next-to-last among 110 big-league catchers during the past year, is alarming.
"He's working on it," said Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire, being careful as he assessed McCann's defense ahead of Tuesday's Tigers-Royals game at Comerica Park. "Receiving, and framing strikes — he's been working hard.
"He's just a big guy," Gardenhire said of a 6-foot-2 man who is listed, conservatively, at 210 pounds. "It makes it more difficult. You have to work a little harder (on defense) than the small guys."
Showed early promise
The Tigers have, of course, been aware that McCann's defense at a wheelhouse position is not a plus.
It can be a baffling analysis. McCann was viewed during his days on the farm as being almost prototypical behind the plate. Great body and set-up. Everything square to the ground. Opposing scouts loved him. And so did the Tigers.
The arm is still first-class. If a pitcher gives him half a shot at throwing out an aspiring base thief — there often is the breakdown — McCann is a splendid bet to nail him.
But because a pitcher's delivery time to home plate is key, stealing bases is something McCann can only partially control.
Other toolbox items belong exclusively to the man behind home plate. Smothering balls in the dirt is part of a big-league catcher's job description. Framing pitches so that when they are gloved they give umpires the appearance of a strike is a finesse art McCann has not mastered.
According to data from one of baseball's top research firms, Baseball Prospectus, only A's catcher Jonathan Lucroy is worse than McCann at framing pitches, and only Wilson Ramos of the Nationals has a tougher time blocking pitches.
The Tigers have coaxed McCann on moving closer to the plate in a bid to help his framing, as well as his need to corral pitches that dive into the dirt.
"He's working on it," Gardenhire repeated, using a baseball manager's No. 1 tribute. "It's all a work in progress, blocking balls. But as long as he's continued to work, I can live with that."
McCann, in fact, has been laboring mightily to become that top-tier catcher the Tigers thought they were getting when they grabbed him, 76th overall, with their first pick in the 2011 draft.
"It's the only position on the field where you can go 0-for-4 and still have the biggest effect on a game," McCann said earlier this week.
"You don't hear outfielders when they're talking among themselves talk about defense. They're talking hitting. Catchers talk about facets of catching."
McCann did just that during offseason conversations with two of his brethren — Yadier Molina of the Cardinals and Cleveland's Roberto Perez. They traded thoughts on the subtleties of a baseball job that is pure craft.
In was in that same spirit of self-help that McCann wore out the weight-machines during his autumn and winter tune-ups.
Another vignette, common to all catchers, played out Tuesday morning in front of his locker within the Tigers clubhouse as McCann burrowed into scouting reports on Royals hitters with that day's starting pitcher, Matthew Boyd.
Boyd and the Tigers lost later that afternoon, 1-0, but the Tigers starter, who allowed only four Royals hits, twice made sure to say: "McCann called a great game."
Calling a game is parlance for catchers deciding what pitch to throw a batter at a specific time. It's a process that begins with the catcher and ends with the pitcher agreeing or disagreeing.
And because of his background, it is a sequence you would entrust wholly to McCann.
He not only was an all-A student growing up near Santa Barbara, California — he was virtually an all-life A student.
From kindergarten through college, when early on he was a pre-med student, he got one grade other than an A. It was a B. McCann needed 91 on a chemistry exam at Arkansas to have cradle-to-grave academic perfection. He instead had the gall to score 88.
McCann, in fact, could have stayed closer to home and played baseball at an intellectual epicenter known as Stanford University. But he needed a taste of America far beyond California, he concluded, and he got it when he signed to play for the Razorbacks and travel the Southeastern Conference's corridors.
He is aware, as in sensitive to, critiques about his defense. He wants mightily to be a plus player there.
"This is something you enjoy," he said of himself. "So you ask yourself, 'How can I get better?'"
It was Steve Liddle, the Tigers' new bench coach and longtime Gardenhire ally, who approached McCann during the offseason about moving closer to home plate.
"Yeah, it was something we kind of talked about as far as getting more strike calls," said McCann, who knew he was earning some framed strikes at the top of the zone when he was deeper in the box, but losing the lower strike because of the way in which he was blocking the umpires' vision.
"It's at the bottom where I've been below-average. If you're going to get that breaking-ball call consistently, you want to stay down."
Frowning on framing stats
At the same time, he wonders if too much can be made of this framing fascination.
"I don't think it's a helpful stat," he said. "There are too many variables."
He mentions Tyler Flowers of the Braves. Flowers is, by Baseball Prospectus' measurements, the most cunning framer of pitches in either league. McCann is 109th.
"But you'd never teach a young guy to catch like that — the way he drops his glove to the ground and comes up," McCann said.
"Look at Salvador Perez and the Gold Gloves he's won," McCann continued, referring to the Royals catcher who is listed 107th in framing pitches, two spots ahead of McCann. "It's an imperfect stat."
Blocking pitches is not as arbitrary, and McCann vows his overall handiwork there will improve. That would be helpful when he had 10 passed balls last season, fifth among all catchers, although well beneath the 16 missed by both Yasmani Grandal of the Dodgers and the Yankees' Sanchez.
"I've had one slip away," he said, speaking of Opening Day's miscue, "and that's on me. But I feel good overall.
"I've had a few frustrations with myself. But it's early."
And, baby, it's cold outside.
McCann knows the weather soon will warm. Maybe, he might agree, it will happen in concert with a man's catching portfolio taking an upturn as he and the Tigers tinker away, making the most of what already has been a rugged 2018 baseball experience.

Search for human remains continues in California as toll hits 77
CALIFORNIA, United States (AP) — The search for remains of victims of the devastating Northern California wildfire took on a new urgency Monday as rain in the forecast threatened to complicate those efforts while also bringing relief to firefighters.
Hundreds of crews and volunteers were searching the ash and rubble where homes stood before flames engulfed the Sierra foothills town of Paradise and surrounding communities, killing at least 77 people in the deadliest US wildfire in a century.
The fire has destroyed more than 10,500 homes while burning 234 square miles (606 sq. kilometres). It was 65 per cent contained.
The rain expected to arrive Wednesday could cause wet ash to flow down steep inclines in the mountainous region, forecasters said.
Rescue workers wore white coveralls, hard hats and masks as they poked through debris, searching for bone fragments before rain could wash them away or turn loose, dry ash into thick paste.
A team of 10 volunteers accompanied by a cadaver dog went from house to house in the charred landscape. Some went to homes where they had received tips that someone might have died. They used sticks to move aside debris and focused on vehicles, bathtubs and what was left of mattresses for possible signs of victims.
When no remains were found, they spray-painted a large, orange "0'' near the house and moved on. Robert Panak, a volunteer on a team from Napa County, said he was trying to picture each house before it burned and imagine where people might have taken shelter.
"I just think about the positives, bringing relief to the families, closure," Panak said. The search area is huge and the fire burned many places to the ground, creating a landscape unique to many search-and- rescue personnel, said Joe Moses, a commander with the Monterey County Sheriff's Office, who is helping oversee the effort.
"Here we're looking for very small parts and pieces, and so we have to be very diligent and systematic," he said Friday.
Sheriff Kory Honea said it was possible that the exact death toll from the blaze would never be known. He also questioned whether the search for remains could be completed by midweek when the rain is forecast.
"As much as I wish that we could get through all of this before the rains come, I don't know if that's possible," he said.
About 1,000 names remain on a list of people unaccounted for more than a week after the fire began in Butte County about 140 miles (225 kilometres) north of San Francisco.
Authorities don't believe all those on the list are missing and the number dropped by 300 on Sunday as more people were located or got in touch to say they weren't missing.
On Sunday afternoon, more than 50 people gathered at a memorial for the victims at First Christian Church in Chico, where a banner on the altar read, "We will rise from the ashes." People hugged and shed tears as Pastor Jesse Kearns recited a prayer for firefighters, rescuers and search teams: "We ask for continued strength as they are growing weary right now," Kearns said.
Paul Stavish, who retired three months ago from a Silicon Valley tech job and moved to Paradise, placed a battery-powered votive candle on the altar as a woman played piano and sang "Amazing Grace."
Stavish, his wife and three dogs escaped the fire, but their house is gone. He said he was thinking of the dead and mourning for the warm, tight-knit community. "This is not just a few houses getting burned," he said. "The whole town is gone."

No imminent decision on Oxfordshire unitary council proposal
The government will not be making a decision on the proposals for a single unitary council for Oxfordshire for the foreseeable future.
The Minister for Local Government has written to the Leaders of South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils explaining that the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government is not currently planning to announce a decision.
In his letter, the Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP explained that the government will be pausing its consideration for a unitary council while other changes to local government in Oxfordshire take place. Oxfordshire County Council is currently entering into a new partnership with Cherwell District Council after Cherwell's agreements with South Northamptonshire District Council came to an end as part of the restructuring of local government in Northamptonshire.
Cllr Jane Murphy, Leader at South Oxfordshire, said: "While we await a decision, we're doing everything we can to work more closely across Oxfordshire and the minister acknowledged the positive work we're doing with our partner councils to secure the very best infrastructure to support the housing growth happening in the county."
Cllr Roger Cox, Leader at the Vale, said: "We're looking forward to further conversations about the structure of local government in Oxfordshire once the current range of initiatives across the county have become embedded."

Setting an intention in the morning is a great way to have a better day.
'To do' lists are quite a common way to try and be more productive. Sometimes I use them but I do find that setting a long list of tasks can increase my anxiety levels.
Today I had a hectic day, writing a list of all the things I had to get done would simply have made me worry and stress.
In reality I knew I would get everything done, the anxiety wasn't necessary! I had planned it, I knew it would work out fine. Treated with the wrong approach my overactive mind could very easily make my plans into a catastrophe!
For me a better way is to set an intention about how I want to be. So today I had 2 Mindfulness sessions with a total of 25 people attending. This morning when I set my intention it was nothing to do with timing or organisation, it was much better. My real intention was to help others.
How I set my intention…
When I sat to do my morning meditation I thought of a time when I felt pleased with myself, when I felt good for they way I had acted. I recently did a 6 week Mindfulness course for a lovely lady who was expecting her first baby.
Afterwards she sent me an amazing email thanking me for everything I had done for her and telling me how the techniques that we used really got her through the birth.
When I read the email for the first time it made me smile. When I remembered receiving it whilst I was in my meditation it made me smile all over again!
So I held this memory, that made me smile, in my attention. Over time my mind wandered to other things and then when I noticed I brought it back to this memory and then it made me smile again. I made myself feel good and in doing so I inspired and motivated myself. This meant that I kept that intention to help others, going all day long!
Give it a go…
Think of a time when you have been pleased with the way you acted, find a memory that makes you smile and feel good.
Recreate that feeling by remembering the way it felt. Try not to get lost in thought by analysing the memory.
Set your intention to behave in the same way.
For more ways to have a happier, more productive and calmer day book onto a Revitalise Session, you will be amazed at the difference it makes.

My life is whole again!
New Goggles! My vision has depended on 'readers' and at a recent point in my life (last week) I realized that I was more than likely being defined by my looks, a caricature if you will of that woman who always has glasses on top of her head! And, her hair mussed up as a result. Whenever I went out and caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror or reflection I was horrified that I allowed myself to look like that. And after the 3rd time this week carrying driving directions to unknown places and not being able to read them… I said, "No more"!
New Window to the world! Life without a real computer; a full on laptop and a life with 100+ pair of readers is not an effective or productive life. My old laptop was in computer ICU and finally became unusable; despite my efforts. My iPhone is wonderful and my iPad is wonderful because it is a bigger than my iPhone and easier to play Bejeweled Blitz and get a better score — that's about the greater benefit of the iPad. And besides, sometimes we need the BIG picture and the tool to sit getting down and dirty with the work that needs a full on computer. I didn't need anything showy, just something to use. Therefore this DELL, the only one of 5-computers on the shelf at Sears. Yes Sears I wanted to charge it – not pay for it! Sears had 5 Dell Laptops; 4-without touchscreen, 3-with touchscreen. Now Sears has 2-with touchscreen.
Touch screen = iPad on my Laptop. Very happy camper here.
What does all this above mean? It means that I can see and blog more! And job hunt.
Ya know…
I had this amazing thought; about food and life probably and I decided to "go write that down"… got my amazing new laptop and brought it downstairs to record all amazing "go write that down" thoughts, and forgot what it was.Well anyway… It will probably surface as I ramble along…
Anyway – The week in review…
Thursday night – I went to the first planning meeting with the other members of the charity we are building. Nice people, nice place in La Jolla for wine and appetizers. I had wine and calamari and parked Valet. Total ticket, $20. Nice!
Friday night – I was supposed to go to the movies with a friend but canceled telling her that I was just too far in the weeds with getting the home cleaned up – this includes all the boxes of letters and photos scattered in the front 'foyer'. I was also tired and I know this tiredness comes from lack of exercise and excitement – the kind of energy that comes with exercise. (Boxes of letters are up to 100+years old from my mother's family – more on this in another post)
Saturday night – I had family members over for dinner. I grilled Mahi Mahi, grilled corn and grilled asparagus. Ice cream with chocolate chip cookies crumbled on top. Chocolate chip cookies that I made — that I baked, that is!
I'm committed to a diet and fitness regime
Starting next week; like tomorrow next week… But, today I'm enjoying (and will be enjoying) the small tidbits of left-overs from last night. Those being a few small bites of cornbread, enough brie to go with a short glass of wine later. Just small does of bad things. I figure the more crap I eat today to more motivated for tomorrow. Not the best thing or attitude to have, but …. tomorrow is about 10-hours away and what's the harm at this point? (bad, girl, bad!) That said…
Weight and fitness
I am appalled at my size, the deterioration of me since I began training in February 2013, and the embarrassment (humility) of it all. I don't care what people think about how I look (personal growth on my part) because I know what they think. I think it too!
And I've had enough of it.
My larger friends who looked up to me during my transition last year are out doing amazing things. Riding bikes, going to push up challenges, participating in 5K's – at least walking them. What I am doing? Nothing but thinking about all the things I should be doing. I plot and get energized (the night before) of all the things I'm going to do the next day no.matter.what. And the next day I find myself waking early and ready to hit the gym. But I go back to sleep. When I wake the second time, for some reason the plan has dissolved. So I have to wonder why it's so upsetting that I look the way I look (and feel).
These friends are doing what I should be doing are causing me grief… LOL! I get a charge in me that says, "Oh no they won't" get fit without me. … not because I am being shallow or have to be the winner in a contest to get thin and fit (a contest unbeknownst to those who are in that contest in my head), but because "I" was the role model and inspiration to these friends. Some didn't say so right away, other told me always. Those that didn't tell me up front right away are the ones to asked me, where are you're at the gym posts? You've been such an inspiration and when I see those posts – I go!" .
So there I have it. Cause, fact, motivation and fear
The plan I laid out a few weeks ago will still stand. Once in the morning to the smaller 24-hour fitness gym in the mall. This gym is where I can do the weights and resistance work I need to do. Their cardio equipment is only treadmills and elliptical's – no Incline trainers; my true workout love. But, they do have a rowing machine and I will embrace using it 'there' because the rowing machine at the Main Gym where I trained with Andre has 3-rowing machines, but they are front and center of the TRX where Andre does 80% of his training. I would be fully exposed . I'm not ready to see Andre right now (I would die and so would he) so – back to the plan… I'll do the resistance training first thing in the morning at the small gym and in the evenings after 9:30 I'll be at the primary 24-hour fitness gym (after Andre leaves) where I'll do my incline training. AND, I bought an expensive terry cloth spa robe. The attraction for the robe is that I always wanted this and the other is taking a Jacuzzi at the gym after my workout, showering there and coming home in my robe – ready for bed.Yes, in California we do drive around in our bathrobes!
The only difference in this plan than the last time I posted it, is that ….
I'm going to actually DO it.
I forgive myself for the weight I gained. My mom was dying and that's all I thought about. What I don't forgive myself for is my behavior on this topic since she has passed. That excuse (legitimate reason) is 2.2-months old. Had I gotten back on the horse right away; which emotionally deemed impossible for me, I would be down about 15-lbs by now. That's the hard part!

Martin Canine's Most Listened to Songs of This Week (March 12th to 18th, 2018) According to His SmartphoneMartin_Canine Over here, it's far beyond midnight right now, so you know what that means, right? It's Monday! Time to look at what music I listened to most often last week!
The number one item is a really strong song released this year, one that has this special aura that great masterpieces are made of. I doubt it will rank highly on many people's best lists though, as it is neither well known nor compatible with mass taste, but so far, three month into 2018, it's among the greatest tracks released. But the year is still young and I'm excited for what's to come.
My second most listened to song this week is laut.de's pick for the best song of 2017. At first I didn't get what's supposed to be so special about it... but it's infectious like a virus, and in the meantime, I like this funky jam as much as the tracks I selected as my own top songs of last year.
Another thing I want to add: I shortlisted number eight on this list for my favorite songs of 2018. It's a great synth pop song with bitter lyrics and an earworm beat, and you should give it a try, regardless of your own personal bias towards the artist. If you still don't like it, that's fine. But at least give it a careful listening before judging.
This list is a non-votable list and the content of the list reflects the opinion of its author.

Below is a video teaching I did on why I no longer make New Year's Resolutions but make goals. Below the video is a printed copy of what I said.
It is January 1, 2010 the first day of the year.
Well a lot of people like to make New Year's Resolutions like working out more, eating less, spending less money which would be a good one for our government leaders to embrace. I stopped making New Year's Resolutions some years ago. I now make what I call goals and prayers because you may want do something in the new year but only if it is the will of the Lord will it come to pass in the new year.
What are your goals for the 2010.
Spirituality: If you have not you might think about reading through the Bible in the new year. Increase your prayer time or believe God to do things that might seem impossible to your human mind. Luke 18:27 says nothing is impossible with God. If you are a follower of Jesus have you ever shared your faith with those who aren't saved. If you aren't a follower of Jesus have you ever studied about who Jesus is with an open mind and heart? You might do that in the new year.
Prov. 21;5. It is right and proper to make out goals or planes for the new year. Now we should always be willing to submit our planes to the Lordship of Jesus knowing he can and might change our planes. Prov. 3:5-6 says to trust in the Lord and not lean on your own understanding.
