”Le club des tricoteuses : d'une vie à l'autre” de Kate Jacobs

2012-05-09T13:53:30+02:00

Dakota reprend le magasin de tricot de sa mère, récemment décédée. Malgré un don pour la cuisine, Dakota se sent forcé de reprendre le flambeau, surtout qu'il existe un groupe spécial lié à ce magasin : le club des tricoteuses du vendredi soir. Effectivement, Dakota et 6 autres femmes âgés de 18 à 78 ans viennent se réfugier dans la boutique pour papoter et bien sûr tricoter !

Bon alors je vous préviens tout de suite, j'ai lu ce livre au mois de mars, j'ai égaré mes notes et depuis j'ai beau faire des efforts de mémoire, il ne me reste que quelques détails ... Je me souviens avoir eu besoin d'une lecture détente et ce livre me semblait idéal... mais je me souviens aussi que j'ai passé du temps à le lire (plus d'une semaine c'est trop long pour moi...) et que l'histoire me semblait assez lente et longue !
J'avais aimé l'idée de club où des femmes se rassemblent pour raconter les derniers potins, mais ici on suit plus leur histoire individuellement, je trouve cela dommage de ne pas s'etre plus focalisé sur ce club...

Bon en point positif, j'aime beaucoup la couverture... c'est déjà pas mal ! ;)

Au final, je pense que j'attendais trop de cette lecture et j'en suis ressortie un peu déçue...

Visite rendue à l'ASNL

2012-05-02T16:32:11+02:00

VISITE DU CENTRE DE FORMATION DE L’ASNL

Le mardi 27 mars, le groupe de DP3 a fait un déplacement au centre de formation des jeunes joueurs de l’ASNL, en Forêt de Haye.

Nous avons visité les locaux : notre guide nous a montré les lieux de vie, les structures sportives, les chambres… Le centre regroupe une partie école et une partie formation, ce qui est un gros avantage.

Environ 115 jeunes y travaillent, encadrés par 15 éducateurs. Deux grands groupes sont formés : les 7/13 ans et les 14/17 ans ; 60 d’entre eux vivent au centre toute l’année. Ils sont hébergés en chambres de 2 ou 4, ce qui fait environ une vingtaine de chambres.

Les jeunes disposent d’un terrain extérieur, d’un terrain couvert et de deux terrains de détente.

Le recrutement pour les 9/10 ans s’effectue dans un rayon de 15km autour de Nancy ; pour les plus âgés, le cercle s’élargit au niveau national. Ils sont susceptibles d’intégrer ensuite un centre de formation sur toute la France. Les études restent primordiales : seuls les meilleurs deviendront des « pros ».

N’oublions de remercier l’association des parents d’élèves qui nous a permis de faire cette sortie.

UN CLUB D'ASTRONOMIE ENTRE DROME ET ISERE

2012-03-22T20:25:00+01:00

Des astronomes amateurs vous font partager leur passion sur les sites exceptionnels du Vercors

Les Montreurs de Grande Ourse vous invitent à des soirées d'observation du ciel et de ses constellations.

Que vous soyez astronome amateur chevronné ou simple néophyte sans connaissance du ciel, que vous ayez ou non un instrument d'observation, vous êtes les bienvenus.

Nos activités : des soirées d'observation et des cours d'astronomie.
Vous pouvez nous contactez au 06 17 67 65 93

La Grande Ourse est sans doute la constellation le plus connue de notre ciel.

C'est, dit-on, Jupiter qui transporta cette Ourse dans les cieux. Où ? Quand ? Comment ? C'est toute une histoire, tragique bien sûr, comme tous les contes mythologiques. Il était épris de la belle "Callisto", la "plus belle" des nymphes. Ce n'était pas son premier amour... mais il suscita des jalousies formidables ! A commencer par celle de l’épouse : "Héra", déesse du mariage, comble de l'histoire !

D'un coup de baguette magique, elle transforma sa rivale en Ourse : "Va-t'en marcher à quatre pattes, et secouer ta paille !" Diane, déesse de la chasse, rencontra l'animal à l'orée d'un bois : "Beau gibier !" D'une flèche cinglante, elle le tua. Callisto morte, l'amour de Zeus s'envolait pour toujours. Le dieu pleura comme un gosse... inconsolable. Jusqu'à ce qu'une idée germe dans son esprit : "morte sur la terre, mais vivante au ciel !" Il l'inscrivit au rang des constellations boréales.

Voilà, vous savez tout.

•    R2 :   Victoire contre Albi : 12 à 8
Le mot du capitaine : - “Nous recevions Albi ce week-end avec une équipe très homogène (4 joueurs classés 13, 1 classé 12 et 1 classé 11). La rencontre débuta avec une perf à 13 de Alexis. Nous nous détachâmes rapidement pour mener 6 à 2 avec notamment une perf à 11 de Romain puis 8 à 3 malgré un très bon 13 qui fit trembler Ben et Greg (victoire au 5éme set pour tous les deux).   Dés lors les Albigeois ne purent revenir au score et nous nous imposions sur le score de 12 à 8. A noter la très belle impression de notre remplaçant de luxe, François Bonal, qui sur son dernier match réussit à arracher un set au meilleur du groupe B !”

Discoteca Foz-Club comemorou o seu sexto aniversario

2011-12-26T23:24:52+01:00

Foi na noitada do 23 para o 24 de Dezembro 2005 que dois irmãos o António e o Francisco naturais da região de Pombal e mais concretamente de uma aldeia que se chama : Foz pertencente a freguesia da Mata Mourisca, decidiram de abrir a discoteca Foz-Club e neste 23 de Dezembro 2011 o Foz-Club festejou o seu sexto aniversário.

Muitos convidados e amigos desta casa vieram passar esta noitada connosco e um dos visitantes foi o amigo Zé da Silva proprietário da Costa do Sol e do Mikado, que alem de ser um concorrente é um leal amigo dos proprietários do Foz-Club, muitas caras conhecidas do meio nocturno e para animar a festa foi o DJ Joe Nukke que nos chegou de Melgaço e meteu o fogo a pista de dança com as suas "mixagens" da musica " ai se eu te pego "

de Michel Telo e " bonita vou te pegar" de Marcus e muitas,muitas mais. Graças ao trabalho dos Djs a língua Portuguesa està de volta as pistas de dança e como são músicas alegres e bem "spidadas" o pessoal todo canta e até aqueles que não falam Português conhecem o refrão das músicas que passam os djs, (AI SE EU TE PEGO !! AI !! ai se te Pego) por isso vamos manter o "cap" e vamos introduzir cada vez mais a nossa língua nos ouvidos dos mais novos e como é numa atmosfera de festa é muito mais fácil.

Quero agradecer ao Francisco e António pela colaboração que tem tido com o Tuga Magazine, visto que eles estão connosco desde o N.1 e fazem parte dos pilares fundamentais desta revista, quando decidimos de aumentar a tiragem há uns meses atrás de 5.000 para 10.000 exemplares, os meus amigos aceitaram um aumento importante do custo da sua publicidade e isso para nos foi importantíssimo para manter as edições a 10.000 exemplares.

E com muito orgulho que temos nas nossas páginas as empresas dos meus amigos de infância e então quando esses amigos são Homens de palavra e de boas contas, também quero agradecer aos empregados do Foz-Club restaurante e discoteca, pela forma simpática que nos recebem e quero dizer ao Stive que tem um talento monstro para a comunicação e devia de fazer um programa filmado para o canal www.1portugal.com - Nos oferecemos a realização e a difusão (lol) mãos a obra. Desejamos ao Foz-Club um ano 2012 cheio de sucessos, saúde e sorte !!!

Le club de la presse et les jeunes

2011-10-13T09:00:00+02:00

Le Club de La Presse de Strasbourg débattait récemment de l'engagement des jeunes en politique.

"Débat avec les jeunes élus régionaux :

• Florian Brunner, Jeunes démocrates
• Mickaël Eppinger, Jeunes Radicaux 67
• Khalid Farah, Mouvement des Jeunes socialistes
• Alexandre Laymand, Jeunes écologistes Alsace
• Elsa Schalck, Jeunes UMP
• Antoine Splet, Mouvement des jeunes communistes de France." mentionnait l'invitation.

Le PRG s'est étonné de la liste des invités, mais surtout du faire que son responsable jeune ne soit pas invité.

Jeune Alsace, le mouvement de jeuness d'Alsace d'abord fut un peu plus rude : " Jeune Alsace, dont le groupe Facebook rassemble plus de 2200 jeunes (contre365 pour les jeunes UMP 67, 1380 pour les MJS 67), avait peut-être de choses à dire sur l’engagement militant en région, sur le rejet des partis établis, sur le racisme anti-blanc que l’on peut subir dans les lycées et collèges".

Soit, effectivement plus que tous les autres mouvements réunis ! On peut casser le thérmomètre, on ne soigne pas la fièvre.

Depuis 4 ans, ce mouvement organise une marche qui rassemble à chaque fois des dizaines de jeunes alsaciens qui existent, même si on les ignore.

Ce qu'on mange à Londres

2011-09-17T09:50:09+02:00

A Londres, justement, on mange de tout! Il y a toutes les spécialités possibles et imaginables et il est donc impossible de tout tester en 1 week-end, du coup, voici quelques souvenirs - non exhaustifs - de mon week-end british ainsi que les meilleurs spots que j'ai pu tester!

Sur Regent Street, il y a le National Geographic Café. Ce dernier fait partie de la boutique National Geographic et propose aussi bien du sucré que du salé. La déco tout en bois est géniale avec les vieux luminaires et super cosy. On s'y sent vraiment bien et on mange bien. Amateur de muffins, régalez-vous et surtout leur chocolat chaud est à tomber (prenez le Hot chocolate fondant) : c'est simple, ils ont fait fondre une tablette avec un peu de lait. J'ai pu tester leur cheesecake : pas mauvais mais un peu écoeurant au final et leur gâteau au chocolat était "trop bon", dixit le testeur qui m'accompagnait!

Autre style de petit déjeuner : le continental breakfast de notre hôtel (pris en chambre s'il vous plait!). Grâce à une promo d'enfer (et il le fallait, sinon c'était inabordable), j'ai pu dormir au Chesterfield Mayfair. Situé à environ 4 minutes à pieds de Green Park (aussi bien la station de métro que le parc en lui-même), c'est un hôtel dans la plus pure tradition britannique et j'ai adoré! Si vous pouvez y aller, foncez! Leur petit-déjeuner continental était vraiment copieux avec différents types de pains (blanc, brioche, scones...), des petites confitures délicieuses, du jus d'oranges pressées maison tout comme le yaourt blanc! Un English Tea, de la salade de fruits frais et secs...bref, de quoi se rassasier.

Passons au salé, quand on pense à l'Angleterre, on pense : Fish & Chips! J'ai pu tester celui du restaurant de Vinopolis. Cet endroit est d'ailleurs fantastique! Situé à 2 pas du marché de Londres et vers Tower Bridge, Vinopolis est un lieu dédié au vin. Vous passez de salles en salles pour déguster et tester des vins de toutes les origines du monde. C'est immense et magnifique. Pour en revenir au fish & chips, ce dernier était délicieux et accompagné d'un verre de vin rouge (Pinot), ça donnait bien! La déco de la salle était très sympa mais recouverte de plaques de...bières. Dans un lieu dédié au vin, c'est très étrange (on va dire que c'est le paradoxe anglais).

Autre chose inévitable à tester : le hamburger! J'ai dévoré celui du Carpenter's Arms situé à Hammersmith (un quartier de l'ouest londonien). Il était parfait : la viande tendre, du très bon pain, de la salade fraiche et du fromage fondu et rien d'autre. Pas besoin de ketchup ou de sauce bizarre, la simplicité reste la meilleure des choses. Le Carpenters Arms est recommandé dans le Michelin et c'est vrai que si on n'habite ou ne travaille pas dans le quartier, on se demande comment ils ont pu le trouver! La déco est excellente: tables en bois, banquettes et chaises dépareillées, sans compter tous les objets de récup' qui décorent les petites alcôves. Le restaurant a une petite terrasse arborée et le soir, ils allument les petites ampoules, c'est magnifique.

Enfin, pour le soir, les cocktails du Club49 de Soho sont énormes! J'ai pris une margharita à la banane et c'était une véritable tuerie.

La prochaine étape sera de tester le restaurant de Gordon Ramsay au Claridge, mon hôtel était à deux pas et je suis passée devant par pur hasard! J'aimerai aussi tester la cuisine de Jamie Olliver. Il va donc falloir faire des économies!

But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain... and an athlete... and a basket case... a princess... and a criminal... Does that answer your question ?...

Droits d'auteur : Zynga remporte une bataille juridique

2011-08-06T11:36:20+02:00

Des batailles pour la proprit intellectuelle se jouent aussi sur le terrain des 'jeux sociaux'. Le leader du secteur, Zynga, est engag depuis plusieurs semaines dans des procdures judiciaires contre Vostu, une entreprise brsilienne qui propose aussi des jeux pour les rseaux sociaux. Fonde en 2007, cette entreprise revendique 50 millions de joueurs sur diverses plates-formes.

A la mi-juin, Zynga a port plainte contre Vostu, auprs d'un tribunal californien dnonant des atteintes au droit d'auteur. L'diteur amricain, voit dans les jeux de Vostu que sont Mini Farm, Caf Mania et Mega City, des copies non autorises de ses titres phare que sont Farmville, Caf World ou Cityville. D'aprs le document de la plainte, reproduit sur Techcrunch, Vostu est accus d'avoir repris non seulement les ides de Zynga, mais aussi les mcaniques de jeu et le modle conomique de vente de biens virtuels.

Comme le note le site spcialis, une autre plainte a galement t dpose au Brsil. Et le juge a dcid de donner raison Zynga, demandant Vostu de retirer quatre jeux dans les quarante-huit heures, sous peine d'une amende quotidienne de 20 000 reals (8 900 euros). Vostu annonce vouloir faire appel.

PLUSIEURS PROCDURES

La particularit de cette procdure juridique au Brsil est qu'elle implique indirectement Google. Les jeux de Vostu sont, en effet, disponibles sur Orkut, rseau social du groupe du moteur de recherche, et trs populaire au Brsil. Or les rcents documents prsents par Zynga, en vue de son introduction en Bourse, montrent que Google tient aussi des parts de Zynga...

Au dbut de l'anne 2011, l'diteur de jeux sur Facebook avait galement menac d'entreprendre des poursuites judiciaires, pour protger le suffixe '-ville', prsent dans plusieurs de ses titres succs. Ds 2009, Zynga, qui dite Mafia Wars, a aussi t accus de violation du droit d'auteur par les crateurs du jeu Mob (...)

L'idéologie du « Siècle » : le « libéralisme mondialisé »

2011-06-27T22:11:51+02:00

« Tous les grands médias, qu’il s’agisse de la presse écrite, des radios ou des télévisions sont détenus ou contrôlés par des membres du Siècle (Dassault, Rothschild, Bolloré, Arnault, Lagardère, etc.) ou dirigés par des membres du Siècle. Les rares articles qui ont pu paraître sur le principal (et unique en fait) club d’influence français, Le Siècle, sont convenus et dépourvus de tout intérêt. Un seul exemple : l’année dernière, j’ai reçu à plusieurs reprises une journaliste économique renommée qui travaillait pour le magazine Capital de M6. Elle m’a dit vouloir consacrer un dossier de 25 minutes au club Le Siècle. Je lui a ouvert mes dossiers, lui ai donné tous les contacts, fourni des documents ultra confidentiels (annuaires, circulaire internes, fiches de recrutement, etc.). Je lui ai gentiment expliqué également que son reportage ne sortirait jamais et serait annulé parce que le PDG de M6, Nicolas de Tavernost était membre du Siècle. Elle m’a téléphoné, quasiment en pleurs, un mois après pour me dire que son travail avait été refusé. De même, Au Cœur du pouvoir a été envoyé à environ 130 journalistes de la grande presse, la presse que l’on peut dire "aux ordres". Il n’y a eu aucun article dessus. (...)

Il y a une idéologie, c’est celle du libéralisme mondialisé. Comme l’a expliqué Laurent Joffrin, directeur du Nouvel Observateur, qui a démissionné avec fracas du Siècle il y a environ un mois, Le Siècle est véritablement la section française de l’hyper-classe ou de la super-classe mondialisée. Il correspond à cette expression de Samuel Huntington : "la super-classe née de la mondialisation". De même Jacques Julliard, ancien membre de la Commission trilatérale, écrit assez courageusement" : "Le Siècle, le club de cette superclasse dirigeante (…) Dans ce milieu fermé où les socialistes ont leur place à côté des gros bataillons de la droite française, fermente l’idéologie de la classe dominante : modernisme économique, bien-pensance sociale et culturelles, conformisme économique, respect absolu de la puissance de l’argent." Hormis qu’il y a largement autant d’oligarques de gauche que de droite au Siècle, cette description est parfaitement exacte : il y a bien une idéologie… mais qui ne se revendique pas en tant que telle. Ce qu’il faut bien comprendre, c’est que tous les membres du Siècle ne sont pas égaux et que le pouvoir est passé d’un groupe à un autre à mesure que le capital se restructurait en France, en Europe et dans le monde. On est donc passé, en 60 ans, du primat des politiques (IVe République) à celui des industriels (Pompidou), puis aux technocrates (Giscard d’Estaing et les débuts de François Mitterrand), puis aux banques (Bérégovoy) et enfin à la finance mondialisée (Chirac, Sarkozy). Aujourd’hui, ce sont les financiers qui contrôlent le Siècle et dictent leurs règles aux politiques. Comme le dit Julliard, "il existe, derrière les apparences successives des combinaisons ministérielles, un gouvernement de facto, un gouvernement invisible des élites financières et institutionnelles qui, à défaut de dicter sa loi, fournit la pensée et inspire l’action des élites dirigeantes françaises."

Je ne veux pas être trop long, mais Le Siècle est un endroit, un laboratoire, où se décident beaucoup de choses. On en a des éléments dans les mémoires d’anciens membres, au détour d’articles, etc. Les conversations étant secrètes, il est toujours difficile d’apporter la preuve de ce pur affairisme mais plusieurs membres me l’ont confirmé tout comme diverses fuites, le système de recrutement, etc. La plupart des membres ne sont pas recrutés pour leurs qualités propres mais pour les fonctions qu’ils occupent. C’est le libéralisme antisocial pur et dur qui ne rêve que d’une chose : que les classes populaires françaises travaillent pour 2 euros par jour comme les Chinois aujourd’hui et que l’oligarchie, qui les exploite, engrange ses bénéfices colossaux dans des paradis fiscaux.

La rupture aujourd’hui ne se fait pas entre gauche et droite. Nicole Notat était secrétaire général de la CFDT quand elle est entrée au Siècle. Ce qui lui permettait de dîner chaque mois avec les grands patrons du CAC 40 et le gouvernement. Il en est de même aujourd’hui avec certains responsables de la CGT. (...)

On voit très bien pour le Parti communiste et pour la CGT ce qui s’est produit. Les dirigeants qui ont été cooptés au Siècle ont fait changer du tout au tout l’idéologie du PCF et de la CGT. Malgré leurs rodomontades, ces deux organisations ont rallié l’Union européenne, le Traité de Maastricht, le fédéralisme, l’euro, le mondialisme, etc. Ils ont trahi tous les intérêts et les acquis sociaux des classes sociales qu’ils prétendaient défendre, en particulier la classe ouvrière et les employés. Ils sont les complices du "détricotage" des acquis obtenus par les luttes sociales des 150 dernières années. Ce qui fait que les syndicats ne pèsent pratiquement plus rien et sont essentiellement financés par des cotisations patronales ou par l’État. (...)

Quant aux élites françaises qui constituent les bataillons du Siècle, elles sont, mais c’est sans doute la cas ailleurs, d’une extrême médiocrité, en particulier dans la sphère politique. Ce qui les caractérise, c’est un manque total d’imagination, une pensée politiquement conformiste, une soumission à l’argent, une âpreté au pouvoir. Le Siècle, c’est d’abord, et avant tout, une soif de pouvoir pour des gens qui détiennent du pouvoir et en veulent encore plus. C’est une centrale d’énergie qui redistribue exclusivement l’énergie en direction de ses membres. Un vaste système de relations, de réseaux, de système de courte échelle, de marche pied, de mariages, de relations d’affaires, de jetons dans les conseils d’administration, etc. D’aucuns appelleraient cela "le système" ou "l’établissement" ("establishment"). Mais sa particularité d’aujourd’hui est d’être extrêmement peu nombreuse et très concentrée entre les mains de quelques uns. Qu’importe leurs méthodes : par exemple, Jean-Marie Messier, qui a ruiné l’un des fleurons français, Vivendi Universal, n’a jamais été exclu et trône toujours dans les dîners. »

Bachmann won’t seek House re-election … for now

2011-06-16T06:15:58+02:00

div class="yn-story-content">

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) disclosed this week that she will suspend her House re-election campaign .But that doesn't mean you can completely count her out for her St. Cloud-area 6th District race.

Bachmann announced during Monday's GOP presidential debate that she had filed paperwork for a formal run and laterthat as a result, she "suspended her Congressional campaign and is no longer actively seeking re-election" to the House.

But that doesn't mean she's completely out of the game.

Bachmann will have ample time to resume her House campaign in 2012 if she fails to gain traction in the early presidential nominating contests-- the filing deadline for her Aug. 24 House primary remains open until June 5, .

Even if Bachmann has challengers for her seat by June, she will still be the instant frontrunner having just secured a national profile in the presidential race. Plus, she could have a large cash advantage--it would be legal for Bachmann to transfer money from a presidential account to a federal campaign account, depending on the types of committees used.

Bachmann is certainly not the first sitting House member to keep her options open.

In the last presidential election alone, two sitting members of Congress--Reps. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) and Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio)--ran for president, failed, and jumped right back into their 2008 House re-election races, which they each won.

Other sitting members, such as Reps. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) and Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) chose to announce their retirements from Congress as a testament to their commitment to the 2008 presidential race.

UPDATE: 1:30 p.m. EST: Minnesota GOP Chairman Tony Sutton told Politico's David Catanese that .

Developer Steven Uphoff to Break Ground in Chesterfield to Build the Largest Entertainment Complex in Virginia

2011-06-15T23:06:01+02:00

s Convenience Stores and Southside Oil, the largest ExxonMobil fuel distributor in the US, will officially break ground on its 55,000+ square-foot bowling and entertainment complex called “Uptown Alley” at 11am on June 14, 2011. Members of the media are encouraged to attend the event, which will be held at the site of the $19.6 million venture off Commonwealth Center Parkway at Route 288 and Hull Street. Uptown Alley, to be managed by the Uphoff family and Trifecta Management Group, will feature 40 bowling lanes, two full-service restaurants, the “Uphoff Rotunda” (a round, wooden bar that will seat 100+ persons), and conference rooms for private and corporate functions. The entertainment center is Phase I of a larger construction plan for the 14.5 acre commercial development project that the Uphoff family is developing at the Chesterfield, VA location.

“It has been over four years in the making, but if you want to build and deliver a high quality project that serves the public with the ‘WOW factor’ and provides world class food, stellar service and entertainment, then the extra time in development and planning is worth every penny,” said Steven M. Uphoff, President & CEO of Uphoff Ventures, LLC, the real estate development company of the Uphoff family that currently owns over $100 million in developed Virginia real estate assets. “Everyone is extremely excited to begin work on Uptown Alley. We believe it will be a popular and safe destination spot for families, young adults, business teams and other groups looking for entertainment. It will most definitely make an incredible economic impact on the Chesterfield community. Chesterfield County is pro-business and has made it very easy for us to grow and prosper. We certainly want to thank the Chesterfield Department of Economic Development for their continuing assistance.”

Upon its opening, tentatively scheduled for June, 2012, Uptown Alley is expected to create at least 100 full- and part-time jobs with an annual payroll of $1.8 million, as well as generate $153,000 in annual tax revenue to the county. The 55,000+ square-foot facility sits on a 14.5-acre commercial site at the southwest quadrant of Commonwealth Center Parkway and Brad McNeer Parkway, which is already a burgeoning market for new commercial entities, such as Commonwealth Center.

“What a great project,” said Art Warren, Chairman of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors. “A $19.6 million dollar investment with 100 new jobs, and one that enhances the region’s quality of life. Uptown Alley even further positions Chesterfield County as a destination for great entertainment.”

Marlene Durfee, Matoaca District Supervisor, further reinforces Chesterfield’s excitement and support of the project. “We are certainly pleased to have Uptown Alley in Chesterfield County,” Durfee said. “The location of this new project is central to the County and perfect for providing a new venue of entertainment for everyone. Thank you, Steve Uphoff, for your continued commitment to Chesterfield County.”

For more information regarding the groundbreaking of Uptown Alley on June 14th, please contact Dave Saunders, President & Chief Idea Officer of Madison+Main, at 804-521-4141 or daves(at)madisonmain(dot)com.

Homework ”Rally Racquet Club” - EP

2011-06-11T17:54:50+02:00

On avait adoré il y a déjà quelques mois le superbe EP Hudson Square de Homework, jeune duo hollandais que l'on pourrait déjà sacrer maître invétéré de la Deep House. On aime d'autant plus ce nouveau maxi, intitulé Rally Racquet Club, qui regroupe quatre petites perles sensuelles et brûlantes, quatre morceaux tout aussi bons que les quatre du précédent EP, quatre futurs hymnes de cet été qui s'annonce, grâce à Homework, torride.

En témoignent les premières notes de Rally Racquet Club, titre éponyme qui définit à merveille le son de Homework: chaud, sensuel et ensoleillé. On se plaît ainsi à se laisser transporter par cette House divine, arborant fièrement des influences venues de tous horizons: on y décèle des zestes de Soul, de Funk et bien entendu une inspiration certaine puisée dans les oeuvres de maîtres du genre; notamment Lenny Kravitz, artiste samplé par le duo sur son morceau Lenny il y a de cela plusieurs mois.

De sensualité en électronique froide, il n'y a qu'un pas: et c'est avec aisance que Samim le franchit. Au contraire de Oliver $, il réalise un remix rapide et épuré; peut-être même un peu trop par rapport à celui de ce dernier, décuplant véritablement le groove de Rally Racquet Club en lui octroyant une ligne de basse frivole et burlesque. De Deep House en Techno mitigée, voilà donc comment s'anime cet EP à venir le 20 juin sur Made To Play, pile à l'heure pour parfaire un été qui s'annonce bouillant. Merci Homework.

The Tea Spot Actively Supports a Cancer Wellness Cause with over $60,000 in Product Donations

2011-06-11T10:56:27+02:00

s Race for Awareness, sponsored by the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Association (COCA) in Denver's City Park on June 4th 2011 with over $60,000 in Product Donations.

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) June 03, 2011

The Tea Spot, a Boulder-based , is staying true to a compassionate pledge. The "10% Pledge" of this philanthropic, woman owned and operated company is to donate 10% of every sale in-kind toward cancer and community wellness. This week, the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance (COCA) will receive the largest single donation The Tea Spot has ever made, as they host their second annual Jodi’s Race for Awareness.

The race was founded by Jodi Brammeier - a Denver wife, mother, and runner – who after being diagnosed with stage III ovarian cancer in 2008 found a new mission. Jodi partnered with COCA to create a race that promotes awareness about ovarian cancer so that other women might detect cancer earlier and improve their chance to survive. In its inaugural year in 2009, Jodi's Race drew over 1700 runners and walkers, netting over $140,000. The race continues to be a strong force in raising funds for ovarian cancer research and outreach annually.

Jodi’s Race is especially dear to The Tea Spot. The Tea Spot's founder and CEO, Maria Uspenski, discovered the benefits of premium loose tea during her own recovery from ovarian cancer. Similar to Jodi and the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance, she took her tribulation and moved forward. The result is a business dedicated to promotingfor an improved quality of life. Uspenski proudly claimed, “our philosophy is that business and compassion can, and should, coexist.” And it’s this mission which earns respect and growth… in both business and generosity.

The mission behind The Tea Spot's roots--to foster health and wellness by making loose leaf tea an everyday luxury--will be shared on June 4th, 2011, as 2,500 runners gather to participate in Jodi’s Race for Awareness, in Denver’s City Park. Hosted by the COCA, survivors and supporters will celebrate life, remembrance, awareness and education. Each participant will receive a gift bag with $25 of The Tea Spot's products. The gift bags contain a tin ofand auniquely designed by The Tea Spot for active lifestyles. With a goal of sharing loose leaf tea for its health benefits and accessibility, this donation is sure to resonate with the walkers and runners of Jodi’s Race.

The Tea Spot is a proud sponsor of Jodi’s Race for Awareness: a spectacular event with phenomenal intent.

About Jodi's RaceJodi's Race for Awareness is scheduled for Saturday, June 4, 2011 in Denver's City Park, Colorado Boulevard and 23rd Street, and includes a 1-Mile Family Walk as well as the 5K Run/Walk. To learn more about the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance (COCA) and its programs visit .

Government halts campaign to buy beer company

2011-06-11T02:47:09+02:00

It seemed like an innovative way to buy a beer company: Start an online campaign to purchase the iconic Pabst Brewing Co. and sell shares on Facebook and Twitter to cover the $300 million cost.

Michael Migliozzi II and Brian William Flatow found 5 million people who said they would invest a total of $200 million. But the federal government halted the venture after it informed the two men of one major oversight — they neglected to register the public offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a violation of federal law.

The SEC said Wednesday that it reached a settlement with the two advertising executives. The men, who never collected any money, agreed to stop selling shares to the public.

The case spotlights a growing challenge for regulators, who must patrol business ventures on the Internet and ferret out scams disguised as stock offerings.

Migliozzi, 45, and Flatow, 41, neither admitted nor denied wrongdoing in agreeing to the SEC's "cease-and-desist" order. Their attorney in the case, Steven Berkowitz, didn't immediately return a telephone call seeking comment.

They launched their campaign to buy Pabst in November 2009, according to the SEC.

The company that sells Schlitz, Pabst Blue Ribbon and Old Milwaukee had been owned for about a decade by a charitable foundation and was seeking a buyer at the time.

Migliozzi and Flatow turned to crowdsourcing, the use of the Internet and social media to organize a large group of people, to raise capital. They also created the BuyaBeerCompany.com web site, which included a countdown timer showing how much money had been pledged toward.

Prospective investors were told to hold off sending money until the company had $300 million in pledges, the SEC said. Once they reached that goal, promoters would contact them to collect the money and proceed to buy Pabst. In return, investors would receive a certificate of ownership and beer equal in value to what they had contributed, according to the SEC.

GOP's Medicare Message Might Not Be Fixable

2011-05-30T09:23:05+02:00

s defeat in New York's 26th Congressional district special election. The problem is not what's in Rep. Paul Ryan's plan, they argue, but how they sold it. "If we'll just stay with our argument and do a better job developing it, we’ll be fine," Rep. Tom Cole told The Hill's . "I think we need to be stronger in marketing who we are and our message," Rep. Allen West agreed. But anonymously, some Republicans are "grumbling" that "you don't piss off senior citizens," The Hill reports, and some are even talking of "revisiting" Ryan's overhaul. That might be even more tempting, given that a one-time massive change to the system might be politically impossible, Politico's reports.

The Hill reports that Republicans are "frustrated that their leadership failed to prepare them for the outrage" over the Medicare propsal. Lawmakers "know that this was handled badly, that there was no messaging, that Ryan's not making his case and they are all looking down the road thinking, 'Oh my God, it’s coming,'" a source familiar with internal discussions said. Another lawmaker said that while some have been considering rethinking the plan, "How serious it is... don’t know."

Republicans' midterm strategy focused on attacking President Obama's health care overhaul for cutting Medicare--and it sowed the seeds of their defeat on this issue, Reason'sargues. "[T]he GOP--Rep. Ryan and a handful of others excepted--helped ensure that the Democrats' current Medicare message would be popular and effective. One of the reasons Ryan knew what was coming, it's safe to say, was that his own party had been there before."

The New York Times'agrees that "the Republicans' decision to make Mediscare arguments against Obamacare was a classic 'win the battle, lose the war' maneuver--and worse, they didn't even win the battle!" He continues:

By trumpeting absurd Heritage Foundation growth projections while staying vague... on how its rate-lowering tax reform would be paid for, the budget made it easy for liberals to claim that the Republicans weren't just cutting Medicare, but that they were doing it to pay for voodoo economics and tax cuts for the rich. These claims were unfair: The Ryan budget didn’t base its deficit projections on the Heritage numbers, and Ryan's Medicare reforms assumed revenue-neutrality in the tax code even it the budget didn't specify how that neutrality would be achieved. But politics is rarely fair, and by packaging an inevitably-unpopular Medicare reform with sweeping cuts in tax rates and then garlanding it with a supply-side fantasy about the likely consequences for economic growth, the House Republicans essentially wrote the Democratic Party an extra set of talking points.

Millman reports that the New York special election might have made a big change to Medicare impossible. Health care experts explain that it's better to make small changes to Medicare than sweeping reform--something more like the proposal offered by Sen. Pete Domenici and Alice Rivlin, Bill Clinton's budget chief. Their idea was making premium support--subsidies for seniors to buy insurance--voluntary, instead of mandatory like in Ryan's proposal. But now even that proposal has been tainted by the Ryan plan, so now "premium support equals Ryan plan equals political defeat," the Concord Coalition's Robert Bixby told Millman.

Ed Miliband tweets his pleasure as finally weds

2011-05-30T07:22:38+02:00

Labour leader Ed Miliband said he feels like "the luckiest guy in the world" ahead of his wedding on Friday to partner Justine Thornton.

The couple, who have two young sons, are taking their vows in a low-key civil ceremony attended by around 50 family members and old friends.

Guests include Miliband's brother David, whom he beat for the Labour leadership last year, but his sibling is denied the chance to be best man as Ed opted not to have one.

The wedding will take place at the Langar Hall Hotel near Nottingham, not far from where Cambridge-educated environmental barrister Thornton grew up.

"Thanks for all the good wishes," Miliband wrote on Twitter on Friday morning a few hours ahead of the ceremony.

"Really looking forward to the day. Feel like the luckiest guy in the world to be marrying Justine."

The wedding will be followed by a reception at the same venue, including "drinks and canapes" and speeches delivered by the bride and groom only, according to the Press Association,

Nor will there be a table laden with gifts as the couple have asked instead for donations to children's charity Barnardo's and to Methodist Homes for the Aged, which housed Thornton's grandmother for several years.

Miliband, who proposed on London's Primrose Hill near where the family live, announced in May that they would marry.

The Labour leader, 41, met Ms Thornton, who is a year younger than him, in 2005 - the same year Miliband was first elected to Parliament.

As the first leader of a major political party to have children out of wedlock, Miliband had faced criticism about his unmarried status but insisted he would not be forced into it.

"We'll get married because we want to get married and love each other very much, no other reason,' he told one interviewer.

It was the "right time" for the couple, both 40, to get married, Miliband told the Doncaster Free Press, the newspaper for the northern English town he represents in parliament.

"This is going to be a fantastic day for us both and I feel incredibly privileged to be marrying someone so beautiful and who is such a special person," he said.

"At the end of the day we're in our 40s and we've got two kids -- so it wasn't a case of me suddenly popping the question. This is just something we think is right for us."

Their second son Samuel was born in November and Miliband faced further embarrassment at the time when it emerged he was not listed as the father on his first son Daniel's birth certificate.

6.0 magnitude quake rattles Costa Rica

2011-05-15T12:29:13+02:00

A 6.0 magnitude earthquake shook Costa Rica, alarming residents of the Central American country and causing minor damage but no known injuries, authorities said.

The quake struck at around 4:47 pm (2247 GMT) on Friday, 25 kilometers (16 miles) northwest of San Jose, according to the US Geological Survey, which gave its magnitude as 6.0.

It was felt with particular intensity in San Jose's western Escazu and Santa Ana neighborhoods, upscale areas where many diplomats and foreign business executives have their homes.

"It broke all the glasses in my bar," said an Argentine resident who lives on the sixth floor of a building in Escazu.

Residents in the area around the San Jose International Airport reported power outages that impacted traffic lights during the daily rush hour.

Cellphone service was disrupted in some areas, and some small landslides were reported on the road connecting the capital to the Pacific coast.

"It felt very strong. Some of the tiles on the houses in the condominium fell. People ran outside, frightened," said Carolina Diaz, a Chilean who lives in the center of the city.

Local media reported that the shock waves were felt along the country's Pacific coast, and less strongly on the Caribbean side of the country.

The quake occurred at a depth of 70 km (43.5 miles).

Juan Segura, the director of Costa Rica's Volcanology and Seismology Observatory, said it was caused by the impact of the Coco and Caribe plates.

He said it was the most serious earthquake in Costa Rica since a 6.2-magnitude quake in January 2009 that killed 23 people and destroyed dozens of houses in Volcan Poas, a tourist area 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the capital.

That quake was the strongest to hit the popular ecotourism and beach holiday destination in 150 years.

The Costa Rican Red Cross appealed for calm, and urged the public "to remain on alert in case of aftershocks."

Ecuador's Correa heading to referendum win

2011-05-08T09:54:48+02:00

Ecuador's President Rafael Correa was on course for a comfortable victory in Saturday's referendum on judicial and media reforms opponents say are a power grab undermining the Andean nation's democracy.

"The Ecuadorean people have triumphed," said Correa, claiming victory shortly after polls closed.

The national election council said its first "quick" sample count showed him ahead on all 10 questions by a range of 51-57 percent in what was essentially a vote of confidence on the charismatic Correa, 48, who has governed since 2007.

The vote looks sure to strengthen the popular but domineering Correa's political grip on the OPEC member nation and put him in a good position for a re-election bid in 2013.

Correa supporters danced and sang in jubilation at party headquarters into the night on Saturday.

Two private polls of voters during Saturday's ballot showed all the reforms passing by about 57 and 60 percent, respectively -- a wider margin than the first official data.

Some opposition leaders quickly acknowledged defeat.

"It's indisputable he won," the president's brother and critic Fabricio Correa told Reuters. "But it wasn't a thrashing like they said. ... It's time for meditation not triumphalism."

Correa has maintained high popularity among the poor and lower-middle classes thanks to big spending on schools, roads and hospitals. Rivals accuse him of an autocratic streak akin to his ally Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela, and fear he could use the reforms to persecute opponents.

"We're giving Correa too much power, but it doesn't matter. Someone has to tidy up this mess," said "Yes" voter Cesar Acosta, 67, echoing Correa's original justification for the vote to root out graft and inefficiency in courts.

The most controversial two proposals set the foundations for a new justice system in which Correa will have more direct say over appointments. He argues that corrupt judges have to go so police can better fight crime in the nation of 14 million.

"We have to make big changes in the next 18 months. We're going to face the opposition of mafias within the judiciary," Correa told state TV after claiming victory.

Analysts say Correa's ability to control a new three-person panel charged with overhauling the justice system and appointing judges to the Supreme Court and lower tribunals will further concentrate power in the executive and limit checks.

"I think he's tired of the constitution," former presidential aide turned critic Alberto Acosta told Reuters.

BULL-FIGHTING BAN

Other reforms include more controls on media, with whom Correa has been dueling regularly, and a ban on bullfights to the consternation of fans of the sport.

The strongest leader in decades in a country notorious for political instability, Correa bristles at claims he is taking Ecuador down an autocratic route. "We are here to change our Ecuador in peace and democracy," he said.

Not surprisingly, Chavez was the first foreign leader to congratulate his "brother" for a "great victory" in a Twitter message and official Venezuelan government communique.

Ecuadoreans appeared to vote en masse, especially given the threat of a $25 fine for not casting a ballot. Local TV showed voters walking through muddy roads in the Amazon area, wearing indigenous outfits in an Andean province and lining up in front of polling stations in the Galapagos Islands.

The flamboyant and voluble Correa forms part of a regional alliance of leftist Latin American presidents that includes Evo Morales in Bolivia as well as Chavez.

They are fervent critics of U.S. "imperialism" and have sought to boost state revenues from their country's energy resources to spend on social projects.

DEALING WITH DISSENT

Correa is likely to feel emboldened, but his victory will also fuel criticism he wants to install communist-style rule in Ecuador, and that could cost him support among educated voters in Quito and Guayaquil, Ecuador's biggest urban areas.

Victory should allow Correa to rein in dissent in the ruling Alianza Pais movement and better control parliament.

Analysts do not expect Correa to take any dramatic new measures against foreign investors, whom he has already largely strong-armed into deals more favorable to the state.

"In the oil sector, the government has already extracted significant benefits. ... (It) will offer mining companies relatively generous terms in its initial contracts in order to attract foreign investment to help develop the nascent mining sector," Eurasia Group consultancy said.

Correa's tough stance toward the media has fueled fears that reforms to limit media ownership and hold journalists "responsible" for stories will let him silence criticism.

After the vote, Correa again lashed the "corrupt press" he said tried constantly to smear him. "There's no problem with opposition, but what they can't do is misinform and lie."

RXR Chairman and CEO Scott Rechler added, "We are pleased to be able to help Justin and Lauran who do so much for kids to support their communities and create a better future through education and literacy."
