Paris Apartments

There is an ad on this page which advertises Paris apartments as an alternative to Paris hotels - if you plan to stay for a while  - longer than a few days, but not for too long. Paris is, of course, one of the most beautiful cities in the world; however. it can be expensive. Those high prices sort of keep it exclusive.

Stocks

From the 10/25/09 news: “NEW YORK (AP) -- Wall Street may be roaring again and manufacturers may see a bright future selling their wares in Asia, but for many Americans, it's still a downturn until the jobs come back. This week, earnings from several companies with deep ties to corporate payrolls, consumer demand and the labor market will show whether employers are hiring, firing or holding off on filling vacancies. Here's a closer look at the companies reporting and what their results can tell us about the job market: Monster Worldwide Inc. (job search); WellPoint Inc. and Aetna Inc. (health benefits); Apollo Group Inc. and DeVry Inc. (job training-education); International Paper Co. (product containers.)” This is good to know, even for this beautiful topless woman.

Frostbite

From Yahoo! News: “MONTPELIER, Vt. – The cold wave that stunned the nation's midsection expanded into the Northeast on Wednesday with subzero temperatures and biting wind that kept even some winter sports fans at home. The wind chill hit 33 below zero during the night at Massena, N.Y., and the National Weather Service predicted actual temperatures nearly that low in parts of the region by Thursday night. Winter-hardened people across northern New England bundled up amid warnings about how fast exposed skin can freeze. "Anyone who sends their kid out today is out of the running for parent of the year," said Eric Friedman, a spokesman for Mad River Glen ski area in Fayston, Vt. A frostbite caution sign was posted at the ticket office, but few skiers were there to see it because of the 5-below-zero cold, Friedman said.” When I lived up there, I went out for a stroll in 10 below zero weather. My walk lasted all of two minutes. This woman, of course, doesn't care - she lives in Puerto Rico.
