One handy feature on our Windows Phone devices is Internet Sharing. It allows you to share your cellular data connection over Wi-fi with other devices (laptop, tablet, etc.).
The bad thing is that carriers usually charge you for this service or limit the number of devices that can be tethered (which make no sense seeing that it's your data). We've been tipped that AT&T has made a change to the guest or device limit they impose on their Internet Sharing settings.
Apparently, at some recent point in time, AT&T expanded the number of guests or devices you can share data services with from five to eight. We aren't sure if you have to actually sign up for the service to see the increase in guests or if this is a gradual roll-out type of change.
My Lumia 920 is still showing a limit of five guests but then again, I'm not signed up for the service. Let us know in the comments if your seeing the changes on your AT&T Windows Phone or if you're on another carrier you're seeing the changes.
Thanks, Kai, for the tip and screen shots!

Two more suspects arrested later on stolen property and other charges
An early morning chase that started in Ford City and ended up in the oilfields north of town led to the arrest of four people, including two brother who were in the Cadillac that led Kern County Sheriff's deputies and Taft Police in the pursuit.
Two others were arrested as a result of the follow-up investigation. The investigation is continuing, but deputies from the Taft and Buttonwillow substations believe they have linked the brothers to at least two thefts in western Kern County.
The chain of events started just before 3 a.m. Tuesday when a deputy tried to make a car stop on Cadillac sedan with no license plates, Sgt. Martin Downs said.
The car, with a male driver and second male as a passenger failed to stop, and instead fled "at a high rate of speed with unsafe maneuvers" through Ford City then north into the oilfields off of Harrison St near Highway 119.
The deputies pursued the car into the oilfields, then saw a large cloud of dust and found the car had crashed and both suspects were gone.
One suspect, later identified as Robert Allan Gutschlag, 42 ran to the top of a hill with deputies in pursuit then surrendered.
The second suspect, his brother, Denny Lee Gutschlag, 46, temporarily evaded the officers in the fields, but two deputies from Metro Bakersfield arrived with police dogs and one of the dogs soon found him hiding in the brush about 50 yards from where the car had crashed.
Robert Gutschlag was charged with reckless evading, possession of stolen property and obstruct/resist peace officer.
Denny Gutschlag, believed to be the driver of the Cadillac, was charged with resisting a peace officer, felony reckless evading in a vehicle, obstruct/resist peace officer, drive without license and possession of stolen property.
Later, deputies conducted a probation search at their home and located several large wooden spools of copper wire and other items believed to have been stolen.
Two more people were arrested
Sandra Mobley was charged with possession of stolen property, conspiracy and possession of burglary tools
Roy Dorman was charged with possession of a dagger, possession of stolen property and possession of burglary tools.
Deputies from the Buttonwillow substation linked some of the material to a theft from the Buttonwillow land and cattle Company, Downs said.

Phase One P65Plus : Tests and Reviews
Phase One P65 Plus Review
DxOMark review for the Phase One P65+
As with all Medium Format cameras, given their studio-oriented design, particular attention should be paid to Color Depth and Dynamic Range results. With 26bits and 13Ev, respectively, the Phase One P65+'s results are remarkable when compared to those of previously-analyzed medium-format models. Phase One introduces a new feature—the "Sensor Plus" mode. This particular mode increases the sensor sensitivity and provides an ISO range from ISO 200 to ISO 3200. Besides its Low-Light ISO score (1158) is better than is usual for medium format cameras (the Phase One P45+'s score was only 622).Despite a huge number of pixels (60.5

Further readings for the Phase One P65Plus
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Pentax have launched the 645Z medium-format digital SLR, featuring a new 51.4Mp CMOS sensor. Priced at £7,699, including a 55mm f/2.8 lens, it doesn't cost much more than some pro 35mm DSLRs, but does it offer significant benefits? We preview the new Pentax 645Z and look back at Sensor Scores from its predecessor the 645D to help us decide.
In the course of the past several weeks, both Canon and Nikon unveiled their professional digital reflex cameras for the next two years to come. With the D4, Nikon has updated a number of points in its pro camera body which cumulatively lead to an entirely new generation of SLR camera.
Despite its success with its latest high-end camera models (the Nikon D3s and D3x), Nikon had yet to respond to the great success of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, whose superior resolution and numerous features (notably with respect to video) simply outclassed the aging Nikon D700.
When we received the IQ 180 Digital Back from Phase One, we expected a lot from this huge 80 MPix sensor. And indeed, this sensor is the best we have ever tested, with an overall score of 91: the best score ever and the first one to achieve over 90 points on the DxOMark scale! Let's check out the details.
New data for the Phase One P65+ and the Hasselblad H3DII 50
Read the DxOMark reviews for these new medium-format models
With a DxOMark Sensor score of 89.1 points, the Phase One P65+ takes the lead in the DxOMark Sensor rankings, beating the Nikon D3x by just 1 point.
Professional portrait and landscape photographers often use medium-format cameras because of their superb performance under controlled lighting conditions. However, as these cameras are definitely not designed for so-called "action photography" scenarios, they generally do not perform well with respect to DxO Labs' Low-Light ISO metric. Because of this inherent low-light limitation, medium-format cameras do not receive top marks on the DxOMark Sensor Overall Score, even though they may show outstanding performance with respect to Color Depth or Dynamic Range.

A Beetroot & Potato Pie
One of my Estonian readers tried this pie and really liked it. You can see her photo here.
I posted the above teaser picture yesterday and asked you to guess what it was. Well, I'm sorry to tell that none of the seven readers who left their guess in the comments got it right. It's not a cherry pie, nor raspberry pie and it's definitely not a rhubarb pie (we don't really eat rhubarb after St John's night over here). And there's no meringue involved either.
It wasn't even a sweet pie, but a savoury one. But even if I had told you that, I doubt that you had guessed the ingredients - it's a beetroot & potato pie :)
And what a brilliant pie it was. Apart from being tasty (though you do need to like beetroot to like a beetroot pie, of course), it also looked beautiful, and my whole extended family wholeheartedly approved. The recipe is very slightly adapted from the Finnish Herkkutori site and the recipe below will yield 6 generous slices. If you don't feel like making a pie, yet want something with lovely beets and new potatoes, then check out Alanna's recipe for Scalloped Potatoes with Beetroots.
Beetroot & Potato Pie
(Uhke peedipirukas)
For the pastry*:
50 grams soft butter, at room temperature
250 grams plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
100 ml milk
4 small beets
4 medium potatoes
3 eggs
150 ml sour cream or creme fraiche
150 ml milk
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
For brushing:
a small egg
First, prepare the pastry. Mix flour with baking powder and knead it into the soft butter, adding milk bit by bit (you may need a spoonful more or less, so don't rush). Press the pastry into a ball, wrap in plastic and put into the fridge for 30 minutes.
For the filling, boil beets and potatoes (separately) until almost done (for small beets, this would probably mean about 20-25 minutes). Drain and cool and peel. (You can obviously also use left-over boiled beets and potatoes). Cut into thin slices (about 3-4 mm thick).
Mix eggs, sour cream and milk in a bowl, season with salt and pepper. Put aside.
Divide the pastry into two pieces (about 1/3 and 2/3). Roll the larger piece of pastry into a thin disc to cover the bottom and sides of a 25 cm high springform non-stick pie dish. Press firmly onto the sides.
Now layer the potatoes and beets into the pastry shell, pour over the egg and cream mixture.
Roll the smaller pastry piece into a disc large enough to cover the pie, place over the filling and press edges firmly together.
Brush with an egg, pierce couple of holes into the lid and place into the lower shelf of a pre-heated 190-200 C oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the pie is lovely golden brown.
Let it cool a little, then remove the springform dish.
Serve with a herby yogurt or sour cream sauce. The pie is excellent when still warm, but can also be taken along to a picnic on the following day, as it doesn't loose any of the flavour when cold (and if you compare the second and third photo, then you can see that the beetroot 'leaks' into the potato layers overnight).
* I reckon you could also use the pastry I used for making hortapita or the Greek pie with wild greens to make this beetroot & potato pie.
Two years ago I posted a recipe for Paul Hollywood's mint and halloumi bread. Although I think Mr Hollywood got some of the quantities wrong (20 grams of dried mint is A LOT!!!), the bread itself is fabulous and definitely worth trying.

I may be imagining it, but I think it's some sort of meringue-topped pie with something red inside it.

something with rhubarb?

well, it looks like an empanada gallega, but I don´t suppose that´s it. I´d hazard a guess that Kristjan has been destonign cherries again.

It's raspberry season so I'm going to guess something to do with them. :)

I am going with raspberry tart of some kind

My guess: a merenque topped cherry pie! (too early for raspberries, too late for rhubarb)

Dear Anon, Shauna, Ximena, Wendy, K&S, Shayne, Baking Soda - sorry, none of you were right. It wasn't even a sweet pie, but a savoury one :)
But thanks for guessing - it was a lot of fun!

How in the world did I miss the sneak preview? I think I might have guessed!!! But OH this looks good. And I'm in such a fiddle: I'm already taking THREE things to a potluck tomorrow except that NONE are made and NONE would be half as gorgeous as this and I just oh my happen to have ALL the ingredients for it already at home including just dug up beets. Our next project, indeed!!!
- 10:08 pm, July 14, 2007
- Alanna said...
BTW the potluck has a 'vampire' theme (don't ask) and so with the addition of garlic, wouldn't this be perfect?

Looks really good! I especially like the last photo. When i saw it on my reader, i thought of every single red berries but not beetroot.
- 5:26 am, July 15, 2007
what a wonderful-looking pie. i would have never guessed what type of pie it was, though. ;-)

That looks so pretty! And I'm sure it's also delicious :) I saw a fritata in one of my Donna Hay magazines with beets and it looked like this...all pink the seeping prettily into the other layers :)
- 5:56 pm, July 16, 2007
- Shaun said...
Pille - How fabulous, and what a great way to use both beets and potatoes. I am a big fan of your recipes that feature beets. It helps to have someone on hand who can source those recipes in languages I sadly do not understand...This is definitely on my list of food to make.

I guess it's ok I missed the preview because I would never have come close.
I do so want to make this pie. I would love to go with Alanna to the vampire party with this one.

Pille, this looks absolutely delicious, I just picked some fantastic baby beets and I have so many of them -but now I know what to try..
- 7:16 pm, July 20, 2007
- Pille said...
K&S, Paz, Dagmar, Kalyn, Lydia & Mercedes - thanks!
Alanna - I knew you would have guessed it, although it wouldn't have been totally fair towards others, as I had given you some pretty clear clues :) So what did you take along to the vampire party?
Evelin - minu arust oli ka päris uhke välimusega :)
Shayne - so you've noticed, eh?
Mae - sorry for being such a tease:)
Joey - oh, I do hope you'll make that Donna Hay recipe, as I'd love to see a beetroot frittata!!
Chris & Shaun - there's going to be lots of beetroot recipes popping up on my blog in the next few months - I hope I won't lose any beet-hating readers, however!
Ximena - I know, I was being cheeky. I wouldn't have guessed myself if I hadn't known it:)
Hungrykat - hope you'll do!
Amrita - that's a nice way of putting it - thanks!
Tanna - or you could host your own vampire party and serve this pie as the main dish :)
Jeanne - you too? Well, you and Johanna make good dining companions then - neither one likes beetroot;)
Chili&Vanilia - it is pretty picturesque, isn't it? Thanks for commenting!

Proovisin ka seda pirukat ja tuli väga maitsev! Väljanägemine iseäranis uhke. Muretaignasse võiks lisada ka riivitud juustu, et krehvisemat maitset saada.

Posted on November 20, 2013
I'd like to discuss some of the comments from readers over the last couple of months. Let me just pause to delete the ones that start "Greetings, Web Admin", and the ones with links to cut-rate fur-lined coffeemakers, and the ones that begin "I doing an investigation into", and the ones that start "Thanks for to sharing this info".
That's what I thought. Nothing left but the ad from the Astro Toy Company. That one slipped past me because it begins "Astro Toy Company Ad". If you're going to baffle me with the truth, I won't play with you at all.
I am glad, truly glad, tuna brittle, that digital communication is taking over from the mere printed book. Y'know, that old fifty cent paperback of Forever Amber may have had its appeal, but it just can't compete with reading it online, between ads for cutrate envelopes from that last office supply place you ordered from and animated cartouches offering you a deal on 500 business cards. How on earth did Kathleen Winsor sell all those copies when at the bottom of each page you saw only a margin, and not a series of posts by people chatting about the text? (By the way, do ALL such threads wind up in name-calling contests because somebody made a remark about New York cheesecake or Sarah Palin's grandmother?)
Yes, the poor old Stone Age printed page is doomed. It wasn't interactive. All you had were words and your brain, and that's hardly high-tech.
Actually, the interactiveness question goes back a long way. When cameras started to use film instead of glass plates, no less a photographer than Lewis Carroll complained that it took away from his participation in the technology. He much preferred the process of standing in a darkroom and painting the collodion onto a pane of glass to make his own negative. It took skill to do this kind of thing consistently and evenly. Any fool could put film in a camera. (Not entirely true, as I recall some of the pictures I took without remembering the camera was empty.)
The same argument went around as the world shifted from 78 rpm records to the long-playing 33s. Some people were thrilled that an entire symphony could be put on one disc, instead of a series of six. But other people cried nay. They enjoyed having to get up every five minutes to change records to continue the opera. They said it made them feel they were as much a part of the process as Caruso or Gall-Curci.
On the other hand, I heard from someone born well after my tenth high school reunion, who said, "How could anybody want vinyl nowadays when online music is so much more interactive? You can play the one song you like from one album, then the one song you like from another album, and you can change the order any time you like." One or two of us, masters of the lost art of dropping the needle into the empty space in front of the vinyl track we wanted, tried to protest, but in vain. The latest generation (Generation Techs?) doesn't know what space between tracks is.
(Another friend of mine was recently honored by a colleague at work, who said, "I have so much respect for those of you who had to work here in the 80s, when there wasn't any technology.")
And, getting back to literature, it works the other way, as well. I have a friend in the writing biz who noted recently that the computer has changed her output completely. She used to write a novel, two dozen short stories, and thirty or so poems every year, exclusive of essays and book reviews. "But there are SO many things you can do on a computer that you just can't do on a computer," she said. "Like play solitaire." Nowadays, when she has writer's block, she doesn't need to get up to play music, or look something up in a book. She can do these selfsame things online. And, on the way, check through YouTube for sixteen different versions of Rondo alla Turca, or Google "tapioca meatloaf" just to see what turns up. She last wrote a novel in 2009, and produces about three short stories in a really good year.
Ah, if only Hemingway and Fitzgerald had had computers! High school lit classes would be shorter.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers are considering whether Congress should set up a special court to decide when drones can kill American al-Qaida suspects overseas, much as a secret court now grants permission for surveillance. The effort, after CIA Director-designate John Brennan's vigorous defense of a drone attack that killed U.S. citizens, reflects a philosophical struggle in government over remote warfare.
The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Dianne Feinstein of California, spelled it out at the start of Brennan's confirmation hearing on Thursday. She declared that she intended to review proposals for "legislation to ensure that drone strikes are carried out in a manner consistent with our values and the proposal to create an analogue of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to review the conduct of such strikes."
And Sen. Angus King Jr., in a letter Friday to senior leaders of the panel, suggested an "independent process - similar to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court - to provide an appropriate check on the executive branch's procedure for determining whether using lethal force in a foreign country against a U.S. citizen would be lawful."
In FISA proceedings, 11 federal judges review wiretap applications that enable the FBI and other agencies to gather evidence to build cases. Suspects have no lawyers present, as they would in other U.S. courts, and the proceedings are secret. The government presents its case to a judge, who issues a warrant or not.
The notion of something similar for drone strikes drew immediate criticism from human rights and legal groups, which contend that such a court must allow the accused to mount a defense.
"It's not about evidence gathering, it's about punishment to the point of execution," said Mary Ellen O'Connell, professor of international law at the University of Notre Dame and a critic of the government's drone program. "We have never thought people could be executed without some kind of trial."
A former CIA official reacted coolly, too, but from the opposite direction.
"I think it is reasonable to ask the question under what circumstances the president can use lethal force against a U.S. citizen overseas," said Jeff Smith, former general counsel of the CIA. "It's a frightening power, and I think we need to think very, very carefully about how that power is used and whether some judicial review is warranted."
"But I certainly don't think judicial review or congressional review is needed to strike al-Qaida or other terrorists organizations," he said.
The idea is also so preliminary that lawmakers can't yet say exactly how a new process would work. In fact, most of those interviewed said the current system run by the White House works well.
Brennan pioneered the current process to determine which targets are dangerous enough to be placed on one of two hit lists for killing or capture — one held by the CIA and the other by the military's Joint Special Operations Command. Many of the names on the lists overlap, and the agency that goes after the target depends on where the suspect appears. That process was described in a legal memo made public this week, and the White House shared classified details with select lawmakers.
The new notion is drawing concern from some in Congress who fear special courts would slow down the drone strikes — considered by some, including Brennan, as one of the most effective weapons in the war against al-Qaida.
But many lawmakers say an update is needed in the law, passed in 2001 after the Sept. 11 attacks, that gives the president sweeping powers to pursue al-Qaida. They say that al-Qaida has grown far beyond the war zones and technology has improved, too, enabling a Predator drone operator in the United States to track and kill a target thousands of miles away with great accuracy.
Drone strikes have expanded dramatically in the Obama administration. Fewer than 50 took place during the Bush administration, while more than 360 strikes have been launched under Obama, according to the website The Long War Journal, which tracks the operations. The strikes have been credited with killing more than 70 senior al-Qaida and Taliban commanders in Pakistan alone since they began in 2004.
In Thursday's hearing, Brennan defended strikes as necessary, saying they are taken only as a "last resort," but he said he had no qualms about the strike that killed U.S. born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, because of his roles in several terror attacks.
"The decisions that are made are to take action so that we prevent a future action, so we protect American lives," Brennan said. "That is an inherently executive branch function to determine, and the commander in chief ... has the responsibility to protect the welfare, wellbeing of American citizens.
Still, he said the White House, too, had considered the concept of the special courts, and he said he would be open to discussing it because "American citizens by definition are due much greater due process than anybody else by dint of their citizenship."
The White House did not offer further comment Friday, and the CIA declined to comment.
Brennan said people are never killed by CIA or military strikes if there is a way to capture them.
Feinstein said at Thursday's hearing that she believed the CIA was open with lawmakers about its part of the program.
"We have provided a lot of oversight over the Predator," she said. "There's a staff team goes out regularly that is at Langley that does look at the intelligence on a regular basis," making more than 30 visits to review strikes and the intelligence leading up to them.
But she said she and senators including Democrats Dick Durbin of Illinois and Pat Leahy of Vermont and Republican Chuck Grassley of Iowa are all looking at the concept of how to regulate the strikes.
On Friday, Republicans were circumspect, with prominent members such as House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers of Michigan declining to comment, or reserving judgment until they can see more details.
"I don't know that we can take that exact model and apply it to every tough policy decision that confronts the federal government," said Mac Thornberry of Texas, a member of the House committee. "If someone is shooting at you, you can't go to a court and ask them to shoot back," he said.
Many Democrats were more comfortable with the notion.
"A layer of judicial review could ensure additional checks on the designation of targeted individuals and determine whether sufficient evidence has been produced," said Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo.
Said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.: "I don't have in mind to redefine the circumstances in the memo" describing the legal rationale behind the strikes "but rather set up a process for prospective or retrospective analysis of how drone strikes are made,"
The White House allowed lawmakers on the Senate and House intelligence committees to see the classified advice to the president describing the legal rationale behind drone strikes ahead of the Brennan confirmation hearing — a pre-emptive effort meant to answer increasing questions from lawmakers about the program, and also to head off threatened holds on the Brennan nomination.
But that release has produced further demands for access and information. The intelligence committee members want their staff to read the documents, and the congressional Judiciary committees are also demanding access.

Yes, I'm attention whoring a tad here, but I'm feeling kind of proud of something in lieu of todays AWESOME trade.
During the offseason, in many posts, I voiced concerns over Wilson routinely buying time, only to find nothing open downfield. I've been wanting a Bush/Sproles/Tayvon type "waterbug" type player as Wilsons outlet. IMO, that was the best player type to compliment Wilsons play. Well, Percy Harvin is all those dudes, plus much, much, much more.
Was it dumb luck? Or, do I actually know football? Know enough that I've been posting about this for sometime and brought a few others on board.
Yeah, this is an arrogant post, so I apologize. The trades awesome in general. And, at least to me it feels awesome because at least in some respects my opinion has been validated.

"Reflections on a Paris Left Behind"
44 comments:
Bonjour Carol.ReplyDelete
Long time no talk to. Glad I stopped by today. I spent some time aux Buttes Chaumont with my son and nephew this summer. I did not notice gangs either.
Monsieur Erlanger seems to suffer from two well-known addictions: 1. The New York Times' predictable habit of criticizing every French 2. The Paris expat whining-moaning-bitching syndrome (Ah, the French bureaucracy... blah-blah-blah... Poop on the sidewalks... blah-blah-blah... Arrogant Parisians... blah-blah-blah... Overpriced restaurants... blah-blah-blah... Nasty waiters... blah-blah-blah...) When in doubt, stick to stereotypes!
I have not read his article, and based on your story, I probably won't. So he has left Paris, and "Il crache dans la soupe," eh?
Quelle surprise! Glad you, at least, are still enjoying the big crazy city. Enjoy it for us both, s'il vous plaît.
Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Good for you for moving to Paris and making your dream come true! I was in Paris for 4 months, I just came home last week and I loved it, but I came back to California for the winter. I was in Buttes-Chaumont, very charming, peaceful place. So much propoganda in the news, people asked me if everyone speaks Arabic now in Paris. Oh please!!ReplyDelete
No kidding, Sarah Lyall's good-bye letter to London took the same tone! What up, NY Times-sters????ReplyDelete
Les Buttes Chaumonts looks lovely!
He's seeing Paris through the eyes of a grumpy old fart. You're seeing Paris through the eyes of a patisserie loving artist. I want YOUR Paris, s'il vous plait.ReplyDelete
Thank you! Although I only spent a few hours in Buttes-Chaumont last year (doing a couple of sketches there), it was lovely. I didn't want to believe his comments.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Carol, for sharing your experience and opinion about Paris and that beautiful park in particular!ReplyDelete
Unfortunately, it seems to be a specialty of some journalists who suffer the hardship of having to work in European cities to go and seek out the negative. What are they thinking? Negative equals news? (All things beautiful already reported by ordinary people?)
I remember an article about Vienna in the same paper that made me really upset, back when I was still fairly new and did not understand yet that negative news apparently is what's selling articles. Here's my rant, from back in 2008: http://www.viennaforbeginners.com/2008/06/state-of-art.html
I always wonder if these writers ever talk to real people, people who know a place intimately, the up and the down sides, who can balance and explain what is really going on behind the scenes.
Good for you Carol for speaking up. It sounds like M. Erlanger never actually walked around the park, just sat in his plush office enjoying the view. I can tell you're mad, no sketch today :(ReplyDelete
- Anonymous4:39 AM
I have lived in Paris for ten years and when I first arrived I thought it was a paradise and it still is in some ways however underneath all the glitter it is a troubled city which one doesn't notice until a pickpocket gets your wallet which happened to me twice. I agree with the opinion of the writer.ReplyDeleteReplies
There are pickpockets in every major city. In New York they have guns, in London knives.Delete
I don't see what that has to do with blasting a perfectly fine park?
Please explain further Anonymous?
City parks are not about glitter nor is cleaning the streets twice a day. The transportation runs well and on time. Is Paris perfect?Delete
Is any city anywhere?
I am with you on this Carol ,, I have friends that live in the area of the parc and I have never heard anything about gangs !!! I am sure they would of mentioned it too me at some point .. I was only there for a few hours once , and not a gang in sight!! Of course Paris has it's troubles like all major cities , , We will come over and help you on your soap box :-)Delete
Sensational post Carol. I read this article a few days ago, and was very surprised at his opinions. Surely the bureau chief for the NYT in Paris would have a better time than that? Every city does have an underbelly, but his article just seemed like sour grapes.ReplyDelete
Bonjour Carol! This post HAS to make it to the Times - I hope you try to submit it in some form.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous9:20 AM
I love the reports on Paris you give us. Yes Paris is not perfect but it is almost perfect to many of us who read your blog. The more I visit the more my glasses are "less rose colored" but that being said I still love all there is to LOVE about Paris. This reporter from the NYT wants to print what will sell and bad news sells. Your blog always gives us something positive to look forward to. You living your dream is wonderful. You are so fortunate you could do this. My dream will have to be to visit Paris when I can (13 visits so far). I will neaver be able to live there but when I do visit it is living my dream. Thanks for all you do for all of us Paris lovers! I have taken some of your good advice and seen some things you have told us about. Thanks again. There is enough negative in the world...lets talk about the good things!ReplyDelete
you can always rely on the media to get it wrong more times than right ...ReplyDelete
Hi Carole, Such a beautiful park, thanks for giving us the real inside info on it. The NYT write, meh. What does he know :)ReplyDelete
- Peggy9:56 AM
Brava to you for calling out Steven Erlanger on his NYT article!ReplyDelete
I read the same article and was equally skeptical of the author's views. Parc Buttes-Chaumont is one of our favorites and we head back there every time we are in Paris. Any city has its warts, but I don't see them in the areas of Paris he was describing. I think he just has a case of sour grapes because he had to leave behind the most lovely city in the world!
Well stated,Carol! I did read his article as well as many of the comments posted in response. Any major city will suffer these problems of pick-pockets and "gangs"--my father and my hubbie were surrounded by a female group of pickers in Prague 15 years ago, I had a most unpleasant exchange with an immigrant boy playing tough kid in front of his gang on the Paris Metro last spring, as they all practiced their pick-pocketing skills in front of everyone. It happens, but that in no way grants license to paint Paris with such a broad brush. Is she perfect? No, but I will continue to adore her despite her shortcomings. x KatieReplyDelete
A soap box is exactly what a blog is for. Lovely pictures. I live in Paris vicariously through you.ReplyDelete
Thanks for these! I've got a murder in my next book in this park - but in winter. These pictures are so pretty, they're making me feel guilty for my nefarious plot.ReplyDelete
- Stacey Cartier2:07 PM
After doing a little digging, it seems this lovely park was indeed known as a mecca for gang wars and incidents of intercommunal violence. In fact, a young Jewish boy was brutally beaten there in 2008 by a gang. There are plenty of negative reveiws on Tripadvisor about a hotel nearby with writers complaining about gangs, noise and feeling generally unsafe at night. Other than a woman having a gold necklace yanked off her recently (and that can happen anywhere in Paris (as I know all too well) or elsewhere. The good news is that other than the stolen necklace, all this was written 2008 - 2010. So at least at somepoint, the article may contain some truths. Articles such as this one are only one person's opinion; no point in raising your blood pressure! If we didn't love Paris, we wouldn't be reading this blog, right? And one person's opinion is not about to change my mind!ReplyDeleteReplies
To write about an incident that occurred 5 years ago in a paper read by millions of people?Delete
No, unacceptable.
check out a 2012 crime report on Central Park here

I am glad you wrote about where you live..it is more educational than reading a book...you live in a very pretty and serene area....it is hard to find land for parks in Phoenix and Scottsdale...there is so much greed that there has to be a building of some sort on the properties....the Golden Gate Park is similar to Central Park, but here there is nothing ...of course we have duds running our cities... Aggressive to bring corporations and clog this area more...the air is filthy as we sit down in a valley so it's impossible to get rid of the dirt....we have dust storms that kill...and comes in the homes thru vents...and I am stuck here...ReplyDelete
I'm baffled! But then, when I first looked at the sign for "keep off the grass" I thought it meant you couldn't wear shoes on the grass. I mean, it does show the shoe crossed out, right?ReplyDelete

neighborhood seems to us to be pretty typical, nice areas. Thanks for
taking Steve on!
How very sad! With all of the beauty and joy in Paris, he has to write something such as this. He must be a very sad Man to see only these things. Good for you and your soapbox!!ReplyDelete
What a lovely Park. Bummer about the nay sayer but never fear Carol rides to the rescue. :) I was interested to hear how your perception has changed of Paris living there awhile from romantic to family oriented. but I imagine the romantic seeps thru here and there. :)ReplyDelete
I'm glad that you set that straight!ReplyDelete

I did have to laugh at his description of the "hideous Tour Montparnasse, which for decades has given skyscrapers a bad name here", as if NY is not full of skyscrapers blocking out the sky. At least in Paris they are much fewer and positioned outside the city centre so it is such a pleasant place to walk. I live in Australia and Sydney is almost as bad as NY with crowded narrow skyscraper city streets and there's more dog poo in my small country town than i ever saw in Paris.....as well as untrained surly young waitresses and gangs of kids high on meth roaming around at night, which doesn't make me love where i live any less but it is ridiculous for this journalist to take such easy and inaccurate potshots. There are some great comments from Parisiennes after his article btw. Thanks for an interesting diversion with this 'rant' Carol! :)ReplyDelete
this should be a letter to the editor -- complete with photos! It looks like a lovely park to me -- I think he's just unlucky or has some sort of chip on his shoulder!ReplyDelete
Je ne vis pas à Paris mais je n'ai jamais entendu parler de ce fameux gang non plus !.. Le danger peut résider partout même dans les lieux les plus paisible des campagnes. Le monde est fou !
De très jolies photos... J'aime vos illustrations sur les pâtisseries...
Gros bisous

What a mean spirited thing to say about Paris! We need to unite! It is still the loveliest city in the world and where I have the most amazing memories with my 2 daughters. This could cause even more damage with our image and friendship with the French. I always try and be a good ambassador for the USA by being a good tourist. A good tourist doesn't need to ask a million questions and dress like a bumpkin. My, my, what a rude American comment! You need to ask us all to write to a certain person at the NY Times so we all can counter this! Thanks for letting us know! All big cities have some things you need to be careful of. Thank you and keep going!ReplyDelete

I love Parc des Buttes-Chaumont and so do my kids. We've never encountered battling gangs there, but we've had great barbe à papa and taken in the beautiful views of the city. I love the fact that Parisians of all backgrounds and ages make use of the city's beautiful parks. It makes the city feel alive and less like the ivory prison Erlanger seems to have experienced. And I live near the périphérique and my son goes to school on the périphérique and it in no way resembles the Berlin Wall. I think Erlanger needed the leave the 16th more often.ReplyDelete
Wow--I'm so glad you got up on your soapbox! I, too, read this Paris rant and found it to be very disquieting and possibly a deterrent to future Paris travelers. It made me apprehensive in certain respects about my planned return to Paris next year, i.e., which areas of the city would I not wish to venture into, much less stay, if I were traveling alone. My first trip to Paris last year made me very much want to return again, and I'm fully convinced I should not let people like Erlanger put a damper on my plans. Hopefully he suffered a lot of negative feedback as a result of his writing this article.ReplyDelete

Two men from Taft stand guard in front of school
Lincoln Junior High students gave a warm reception to the two uniformed men standing in front of their school Tuesday morning.
Craig Gotcher (National Guard) and Josh Truesdell (veteran) were part of the Vets Against School Shootings contingent standing at area schools today.
The stood in front of the junior high in their uniforms in the chilling morning air to make students feel a little safer as they came to school less than a week after a shooting a short distance away at Taft Union High School.
Both men said the kids liked their protectors.
"They're just thankful," Truesdell said.
Truesdell was a bit surprised at the reception.
"I wasn't expecting a lot of students to come up to me like that," he said.
Both men are from Taft.
"We got a lot of 'thank you's' and waves," Gotcher said. "Some kids even took pictures with me."

Greatest show in TV history. Without question.
Nearly impossible to narrow down my favorite scene, but here's a few.
**WARNING** Language not suitable for work
Stringer Bell and Avon Barksdale were amazing as bro's. And even more amazing as enemies.
Really like the analogy between chess and gangsters.
Love me some Bodie. And love the way they refer back to the season 1 scene. My 2nd favorite charachter other then Omar.
Carver and Randy. This one made me cry.
Finallly, probably the best scene, but i'm not going to post it here cuz it aint the shack, was McNulty and Bunk exploring the crime scene using only the word F**k.
So many other amazing scenes as well.

What does a developer do when he or she wants more power? British cloud network provider Exponential-e is hoping that DaaS – GPU isn't too much of an acronym to swallow and that its Desktop-as-a-Service for Graphic Processing Units (DaaS – GPU) could provide the answer.
The firm uses Nvidia GPUs in a virtualized desktop environment. The product has been developed in conjunction with Jellyfish Pictures, a London-based visual effects (VFX) studio.
Exponential-e CEO Lee Wade says that IT infrastructures can now be scaled so that VFX companies can meet tight production deadlines, while offering assurance to studios that they can successfully deliver on projects of any size.
Exponential-e's hosted service sits on the Local Area Network (LAN) on the clean side of the firewall, negating any security or privacy issues. This means that Jellyfish Pictures no longer needs to rely solely on its existing architecture when further processing power or capacity is required. Instead, the company can spin-up additional resources on demand, such as blade servers and processing power.
"In the past, the huge amounts of processing power needed to render animated and motion content meant that artists, designers, and developers were tied to a physical desktop," comments Lee Wade. "However, the traditional workstation has been transformed by DaaS - GPU and Jellyfish Pictures is one of the first companies in the UK to adopt this operational model."
Built using Nvidia's GRID technology for high-performance graphics-accelerated computing power and VMware Horizon DaaS Platform for Service Providers, Exponential-e's DaaS - GPU is delivered on its cloud-ready 100Gig Ethernet Layer 2 VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service) network.

Without the rust, steel house at Conn College is a beauty
New London - When a hundred or so people gathered Saturday at a restored, prefabricated steel house on the Connecticut College campus that dates back to the 1930s, two things were going on.
The afternoon event was a farewell to Sandra Kersten Chalk, executive director of New London Landmarks, who is stepping down after 10 years with the preservation group and moving across the country to Seattle, Wash. But it also was a celebration of the house itself, which has been restored with the support from the college, the state, Landmarks, and a host of public and private donations.
"Landmarks asked to have this event here and it really is what the house is all about," said Josh Stoffel, sustainability officer for the college. "It was built with sustainability before we called it that."
"Rusty," as the house is referred to on campus, is an 800-square-foot steel-panel structure manufactured by the Chicago-based General Houses Inc. and sold through mail-order catalogs. It was built in 1933 as a home for Winslow Ames, the founding director of the Lyman Allyn Art Museum. The college acquired the house in 1949, and it was used as faculty housing until 2004.
The three-room house at 130 Mohegan Ave., with its bright yellow walls, large windows and oversized screen door that opens onto a patio, is the perfect spot for entertaining, Stoffel said. The patio is his favorite part of the house.
"The transition to outdoors. The openness. It all flows," he said.
The house is now Stoffel's office, and it's where students interested in the environment and sustainability hang out.
"I tell my students we are living history," he said.
In 2006, Doug Royalty, a conservation specialist, was doing work on the house next door when he noticed what was then called the Winslow Ames House. It was empty and deteriorating. And rusting. But Royalty recognized its value. There are maybe six houses like it left in the country, he said at the time.
In July 2007, the house was listed on the State Register of Historic Places.
"This was a starter house," Royalty said Saturday, as he walked through the structure, like a proud father, pointing out details and answering questions. "It was custom-designed based on what you wanted - one, two or three stories, with a garage or not."
It took about $500,000 to complete the renovations, he said.
As part of the restoration, crews from the conservation company Milner + Carr dismantled the structure and transported it to Philadelphia, where each piece was cleaned and restored. Steel panels were treated to make them rust-resistant. The house was reassembled on campus.
Meanwhile, as the wine flowed Saturday during the reception, guests turned away from the house and focused on Chalk.
"The main reason we're here is to say goodbye to Sandra Chalk," said Laurie Deredita, president of the Landmarks board of directors, as she gathered the guests onto the patio. "Sandy's been wonderful. A very hard worker and a great person."
But Chalk, who is retiring and moving to be closer to her family, directed attention right back to "Rusty."
"Doug came to me years ago and I looked at this rusty old building and it all seemed impossible," Chalk said. "This was not just restoring an old building. It was finding a new use."
She presented Royalty and Connecticut College with a special restoration award - a plaque to hang on the wall of the house. The college supported Royalty's efforts to restore the building and allowed Stoffel to use it as his office and as a small student center.
Chalk said the success of the restoration is much like Landmark's successes over the years. They were collaborations of those who didn't always agree, she said, but "found paths to work together."
Chalk is leaving Landmarks later this week. The new executive director is Constance Kristofik.
