Bodie est ouverte toute l'année, mais la longue route qui mène vers elle est généralement fermée l'hiver, à cause d'importantes tempetes de neige.

A l'époque, le tandem planche sur ce petit personnage, convaincu de son potentiel, mais sait pertinemment que le financement pour un long métrage sera difficile à obtenir, notamment en raison des caractéristiques de leur droïde (un héros-objet "muet" ne s'exprimant qu'à travers ses mouvements et ses bruitages). Ce n'est qu'en 2001, alors qu'il planche sur Le Monde de Nemo, que Stanton reprend l'écriture, avec la bénédiction de Peter Docter. Il faudra encore sept longues années de travail (et donc près de quinze ans au total) pour que le projet aboutisse !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Synopsis:&lt;/span&gt; What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off? After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, Wall-E discovers a new purpose in life when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that Wall-E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans. Meanwhile, WALL-E chases eve across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen.

Smart is partnered instead with the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). Given little field experience and even less time, Smart-armed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm-must thwart the doomsday plans of KAOS head Siegfried (Terence Stamp). --© Warner Bros.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="movie_synopsis_blurb" style="display: none;"&gt; Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS.

Until he met a woman named Fox. After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his dad’s death by unlocking his dormant powers. With wickedly brilliant tutors—including the Fraternity’s enigmatic leader, Sloan—Wes grows to enjoy all the strength he ever wanted.

In fact, Po's defining characteristic appears to be that he is the laziest of all the animals in ancient China. That's a problem because powerful enemies are at the gates, and all hopes have been pinned on a prophesy naming Po as the "Chosen One" to save the day. A group of martial arts masters are going to need a black belt in patience if they are going to turn this slacker panda into a kung fu fighter before it's too late&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br

While in Afghanistan demonstrating a new missile he's captured and wounded. His captors want him to assemble a missile for them but instead he creates an armored suit and a means to prevent his death from the shrapnel left in his chest by the attack. He uses the armored suit to escape. Back in the U.S. he announces his company will cease making weapons and he begins work on an updated armored suit only to find that Obadiah Stane, his second in command at Stark industries has been selling Stark weapons to the insurgents. He uses his new suit to return to Afghanistan to destroy the arms and then to stop Stane from misusing his research. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Trailer for the 2008 Iron Man movie.

Avec plus de 13 600 km², il constitue l'un des plus grands parcs nationaux américains (le plus grand en dehors de l'Alaska).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" &gt;C'est un parc de zone aride et il contient le plus grand relief désertique de la partie continentale des États-Unis. Le fond de la vallée de la Mort est à 85,5 mètres sous le niveau moyen de la mer, alors que le mont Whitney, situé à 123 kilomètres à peine, s'élève à plus de 4 400 mètres.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" &gt;Le cœur du parc, nommé Death Valley National Monument, a été créé en 1933 et a été promu au rang de parc national en 1994, puis a été significativement étendu. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" &gt;Le parc est séparé de l'océan Pacifique par cinq chaînes de montagne qui assèchent complètement les entrées d'air océanique pourtant chargées d'humidité. En partie de ce fait, la vallée de la Mort est un des endroits les plus chauds de l'Amérique du Nord. Le 10 juillet 1913, un record de 56,7 °C a été mesuré à Badwater, ce qui restait — encore en 2007 — le record absolu de chaleur aux États-Unis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" &gt;Le sol de la vallée de la Mort est riche en minéraux divers, dont le borax, exploité pendant longtemps par une société minière, pour être utilisé dans la production de savon et dans l'industrie de l'astronomique. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" &gt;La Vallée de la Mort est l’un des endroits les plus secs et des plus chauds du monde.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Nous avons visit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;é&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; les points de vue suivants:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;--&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Les Mesquite Sand Dunes (les dunes à proso&lt;/span&gt;pis) sont situées au nord de la vallée.

Les murs, le mobilier, les peintures au plafond, tout est de couleur sombre ou noire... On se demande un instant si nous ne nous sommes pas tromp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span  lang="FR" style="font-size:100%;"&gt;é&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span  lang="FR" style="font-size:100%;"&gt;s de building... ou si nous sommes dans un remake de la famille Adams... Mais non, c'est bien ca... Les couloirs qui mènent aux chambres sont dans le même style, murs, sols et plafond noirs avec des peintures tous les 10 centimètres... Chaque chambre porte un numéro et le nom d'un artiste pour lequel la chambre ne comporte que des œuvres de cet artiste. Et dans la même continuation, les chambres sont d'un ton sombre ainsi que la salle de bain de couleur noire... Mais bizarement, une fois pass&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span  lang="FR" style="font-size:100%;"&gt;é&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span  lang="FR" style="font-size:100%;"&gt; l'effet de surprise, l'agencement et les nombreux tableaux font que l'on se sent bien et que l'hôtel vous plonge dans une atmosphère tout à fait particulière.... Attention toutefois &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span  lang="FR" style="font-size:100%;"&gt;à&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span  lang="FR" style="font-size:100%;"&gt; demander les chambres orient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span  lang="FR" style="font-size:100%;"&gt;é&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span  lang="FR" style="font-size:100%;"&gt;es sud, sinon vous allez subir les bruits de l'autoroute qui passe juste devant...&lt;br /&gt;Nous en avons aussi profit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span  lang="FR" style="font-size:100%;"&gt;é&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span  lang="FR" style="font-size:100%;"&gt; pour faire un tour dans la piscine dont l'eau était chaude comme un sauna et qui nous a permis de nous remettre de tous ces kilomètres parcourus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6071617668866375451-4036431606088150791?l=servaneleroux.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://servaneleroux.blogspot.com/feeds/4036431606088150791/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6071617668866375451&amp;postID=4036431606088150791' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6071617668866375451/posts/default/4036431606088150791'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6071617668866375451/posts/default/4036431606088150791'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://servaneleroux.blogspot.com/2008/04/viva-las-vegas.html' title='Viva Las Vegas !'/><author><name>Servane</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071617668866375451.post-1763753225017159716</id><published>2008-04-12T23:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-18T23:04:11.208-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Perso'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='California'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vacation'/><title type='text'>Departure for a one-week road trip through South-West USA !</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;My aunts from Brittany, Laurence and Claudie, are visiting California for ten days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;They just arrived last Wednesday. First, they visited San Francisco on Thursday. Then, Friday was for Downtown San Jose and Shopping at Gilroy ! Shoes, clothes, handbags, re-shoes... Hey girls, the trunk of the car was full !!!&lt;br /&gt;People from France always say that they are interested by landscapes, nature beauty, blablabla but always end up doing shopping! And that is true, America is the best place to go shopping because prices and choice are good and even more with the rate of exchange Euro-Dollars.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;As it was the first time my family come in US and we did not visited all the National Parks nearby, we decided to go for a one week road trip with the four of us: Jean, Laurence, Claudie and myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial;" href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.smileycentral.com%252F%253Fpartner%253DZSzeb008%255FZNfox000%2526i%253D7%252F7%255F6%255F8%2526feat%253Dprof/page.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_6_8.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;So, we took the road Saturday morning and our first destination was Yosemite National Park. It is so beautiful at this time of the year because there is still some snow, nature is awaking and waterfalls are&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt; fully filled.

Toastmasters is a nonprofit organization that helps people &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;become more competent and comfortable in front of an audience and also &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;to improve their &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;communication and leadership skills&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;.

Participants practice and learn skills by filling a meeting role, ranging from giving a prepared speech or an impromptu one to serving as timer, evaluator or grammarian. You even have a person that counts for the number of "Ah" you pronounce, no kidding !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;After being a guest for almost a month, I decided to take a membership and deliver my first speech which is "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;The Ice Breaker".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;  It is a prepared speech you have to deliver in 4 to 6 minutes to introduce yourself to the other members and give them some information about your background, interests  and ambitions. For my first speech, I was very happy with all the positive feedback I got. And even if I was nervous, it was not showing at all to the other members. Let's see how it goes for my second speech.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;If you are interested by Toastmasters at Applied Materials, we&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt; meet every Wednesday between 12:00 - 1:00 PM at the following location:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Applied Materials Central Campus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;2861 Scott Boulevard&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;    Chardonnay Conference Room, Building 19 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Santa Clara, CA, 95050, United States&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;This club (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Club #: 5015, Dist #: 04) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;was established in december 1982 and is open to all, no need to be an employee.

Il est exclusivement composé d'extraits de vieux films de la Warner, montés et doublés afin de créer un nouveau film inédit. Le titre du film provient de l'expression populaire classe américaine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;La première diffusion a eu lieu sur la chaine Canal+ le 31 décembre 1993. Une seconde diffusion a eu lieu en 2004 sur la chaîne Festival (devenue depuis France 4). Le film n'a jamais été édité officiellement en VHS ou en DVD. Il connaît néanmoins une nouvelle jeunesse grâce à des versions numérisées qui circulent sur Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Ce film est considéré comme un film culte dans l'histoire du détournement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Il débute avec l'affichage de la phrase : « Attention ! ce flim n'est pas un flim sur le cyclimse. Merci de votre compréhension ».

A child does not have to learn a new answer to the question, "How old are you?" in each new year. Old people often lose track of their age, because they are rarely asked about their present age.

Buffet stations are grouped according to French regions. In Brittany, you have, of course, made-to-order crepes, except the waiter does not know what is a butter-sugar crepe... only heavy topping to put on it are availables... Other represented regions are Normandy, Alsace and Provence. Bread and cheese are better than other buffets but do not expect to find the real taste of France here.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I finally think that we should have go to the Bellagio Buffet which is one of the priciest but also the highest ranked buffet.

We spent the morning enjoying our hotel features and especially the swimming pool and the jacuzzi !&lt;img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_3_204.gif" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Indeed, the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Golden Nugget &lt;/span&gt;opened in 1946 but was recently remodeled. The new swimming pool has a &lt;span class="txt"&gt;200,000-gallon shark tank as well as a three-story waterslide that makes you slide through the shark tank! Oh, by the way, the name of the hotel comes from the world's largest gold nugget which is displayed inside: 61 pounds and 11 ounces...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span class="txt"&gt;Then, we had lunch at the Golden Nugget buffet which is correct.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;And, once the night came, we enjoyed the so-called "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Fremont Street Experience&lt;/span&gt;" which takes place in the street just outside our hotel. It is a high-tech light and laser show that takes place five times nightly and it is free! The canopy towers 90 feet above the ground and spans the length of five football fields. Featuring more than 12 million LED modules and 555,000-watt sound system, the light show attracts tourists and locals alike.  The first light show was broadcast in 1995. Nearly a decade later in 2004, $17 million was invested in upgrading the Viva Vision canopy. Videos are broadcasted on what is the world's largest screen.&lt;br /&gt;While we were there to 'experience', we also tasted the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;'Deep Fried Oreos' as well as the 'Deep Fried Twinkies'!

There is a the 13-mile scenic drive that provides vehicle access to many of the features in the canyon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" &gt;But, why are the rocks red? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial;"&gt;According to the Bureau of Land Management, more than 600 million years ago, the land was the bottom of a deep ocean basin. Over time, the changing land and water levels resulted in deposits of ocean and continental sediments. There were iron-bearing minerals in the stone and the exposure of these minerals to the elements caused oxidation, resulting in the red, orange and tan colored rocks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial;"&gt;To resume, oxidation of the iron in the stone causes the red hues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, we tried the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Rio's Carnival World Buffet&lt;/span&gt; ($20/person). It was recommended in our Frommer's guide and we know why! It was a real fest of king crab, delicious fishes, meat, pizza etc... and an outstanding choice of dessert (at least 70 kinds of pies and cakes) with even Crepes Suzette and Bananes flambees!&lt;br /&gt;To help us with the digestion, a good walk is more than welcome.

As I finally get my monday off at work, we decided to head out to Las Vegas for the 4 days Christmas week-end with Pau Din and Yann.&lt;br /&gt;Not a minute to loose, we went to pick the rental car ($171.76 for one week), a Pontiac Grand Prix, a little before midnight friday night: a 2 hours waiting line... no kidding !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Then, we put the luggages in the trunk and zoom, 8 hours and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;532 miles later,  Las Vegas here we are !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To fill our starving stomachs, we first stopped at the Main Street Station Hotel for its recommended buffet in the old Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;Then, we took some rest at our hotel the "Golden Nugget" ($142.08 for 3 nights).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;Las Vegas is famous for its casinos but also for its shows. So, we went to the Mandalay Bay Hotel to see the "&lt;a href="http://www.mamma-mia.com/"&gt;Mammia Mia!&lt;/a&gt;" Show ($46.25/person). This Broadway hit was created by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span id="mmgEvents_rptEvent_ctl01_lblDescription"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus' with 22 of ABBA's greatest hits woven into an irresistible love story. We were all enchanted by the show. If you are a fan of ABBA, it is a must see !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who lived in an igloo the last 35 years (...), &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;ABBA&lt;/b&gt; was a Swedish pop/dance group active from 1972 until 1982. The quartet was formed through the friendship of Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus and their respective girlfriends Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog. Together, they topped charts worldwide from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. The name "ABBA" is an acronym of the first initials of each members name: A for Anni-frid (Frida), B for Benny, B for Bjorn and A for Agnetha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span id="mmgEvents_rptEvent_ctl01_lblDescription"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;By goggling on the net, I also found out that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span id="mmgEvents_rptEvent_ctl01_lblDescription"&gt;the &lt;a href="http://www.mamma-mia-themovie.co.uk/"&gt;movie "Mamma Mia!"&lt;/a&gt; will be released this summer 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;To help you wait, I found this irresistible video of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Abba's tiny muppets dancing and singing:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" class="commentHead"&gt;&lt;div class="commentBody marL8 normalText" style="width: 75%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;       &lt;div class="commentAction smallText padT3 floatR"&gt;         &lt;div class="commentAction smallText" id="container_comment_form_id_F9TtDXpnZ38" style="display: none;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;      &lt;div&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;         &lt;/div&gt;           &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;object height="373" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/y3D65klO8-o&amp;amp;rel=1&amp;amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;amp;color2=0xe87a9f&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/y3D65klO8-o&amp;amp;rel=1&amp;amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;amp;color2=0xe87a9f&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="373" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you carefully pay attention, you will recognize their following songs: &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;Mamma mia, Watch out, I have a dream, Rock me, Under my sun, Take a chance on me, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, Money money money, Dancing queen, Ring ring, Two for the price of one, Waterloo, Thank you for the music, The winner takes it all&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Hasta manana&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Correct me if I am wrong but you may also recognize Björn at the minute 1:52, the man that's walks in, Benny is at 3:15 on the phone, Frida appears at 2:35.... she's now a blonde and poses with her hand on her hip, then Agnetha walks along behind her at 2:37 holding a clip-board.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et pour vous faire plaisir, voici le vrai clip de "Mamma Mia":&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;object height="325" width="455"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WY57jGNCN8Q&amp;amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WY57jGNCN8Q&amp;amp;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="325" width="455"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6071617668866375451-2193065557175118886?l=servaneleroux.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://servaneleroux.blogspot.com/feeds/2193065557175118886/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6071617668866375451&amp;postID=2193065557175118886' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6071617668866375451/posts/default/2193065557175118886'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6071617668866375451/posts/default/2193065557175118886'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://servaneleroux.blogspot.com/2007/12/mamma-mia-las-vegas.html' title='Mamma Mia!

With all the genetic experiments going on, man does not know everything and could generate a very bad bacteria, virus or clone against the mankind. Maybe it already happened? We never know... It is like this &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;controversial theory about HIV virus.

Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and maybe the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague -- The Infected -- lurk in the shadows... watching Neville's every move... waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered... and quickly running out of time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6071617668866375451-882758588394298848?l=servaneleroux.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://servaneleroux.blogspot.com/feeds/882758588394298848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6071617668866375451&amp;postID=882758588394298848' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6071617668866375451/posts/default/882758588394298848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6071617668866375451/posts/default/882758588394298848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://servaneleroux.blogspot.com/2007/12/i-am-legend.html' title='I am Legend'/><author><name>Servane</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071617668866375451.post-6475355621407345410</id><published>2007-12-08T18:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-16T22:05:53.835-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Coup de Coeur'/><title type='text'>J'ai craqué...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_xKS4g6TSJNE/R2TPYptLE0I/AAAAAAAAAvU/BBOvbttVzqk/s1600-h/Sac_Coach.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_xKS4g6TSJNE/R2TPYptLE0I/AAAAAAAAAvU/BBOvbttVzqk/s320/Sac_Coach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144464696783082306" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;.. pour ce magnifique sac &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;à&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt; main Coach !

Et hop, en 6h30 nous voici à San Diego.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;Notre premi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;ère visite est pour le &lt;a href="http://www.seaworld.com/sandiego/"&gt;Seaworld Park&lt;/a&gt; ($50/personne).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;Le parc abritte toute la vie maritime: poissons en tout genres, ours polaires, pingouins &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt; &lt;a href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.smileycentral.com%252F%253Fpartner%253DZSzeb008%255FZNfox000%2526i%253D16%252F16%255F3%255F205%2526feat%253Dprof/page.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_3_205.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;, requins, phoques, lamentins et j'en passe avec divers spectacles. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;Nous avons bien aim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;é&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt; le "Dolphin Discovery" qui, comme son nom l'indique, met en sc&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;ène des dauphins&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.smileycentral.com%252F%253Fpartner%253DZSzeb008%255FZNfox000%2526i%253D16%252F16%255F5%255F43%2526feat%253Dprof/page.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_5_43.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;et aussi &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;le spectacle "Believe" avec Shamu, l'orque.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;A noter, durant les spectacles ou sur certaines attractions, le public est souvent "mouill&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;é".

Many workers (78% in 2007) are given both Thanksgiving and the day after as paid holidays.

Yep, it is a HEA-VY meal... Usually, you spend the rest of the week-end recovering...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The Thanksgiving season is also a time of generosity.

Without Squanto's assistance, the settlers might not have survived in the New World.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The Plymouth settlers (who came to be called "Pilgrims") set apart a holiday immediately after their first harvest in 1621.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;(Source: Wikipedia)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6071617668866375451-8983468982143092109?l=servaneleroux.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://servaneleroux.blogspot.com/feeds/8983468982143092109/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6071617668866375451&amp;postID=8983468982143092109' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6071617668866375451/posts/default/8983468982143092109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6071617668866375451/posts/default/8983468982143092109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://servaneleroux.blogspot.com/2007/11/thanksgiving.html' title='Thanksgiving'/><author><name>Servane</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071617668866375451.post-6461967816800974347</id><published>2007-11-20T23:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-27T19:27:08.503-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Friends'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='California'/><title type='text'>Congratulations Beatrice !</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_xKS4g6TSJNE/R0xKqLngIpI/AAAAAAAAAto/AMhHbnxzReo/s1600-h/Beatrice_US_Citizen.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 295px; height: 212px;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_xKS4g6TSJNE/R0xKqLngIpI/AAAAAAAAAto/AMhHbnxzReo/s320/Beatrice_US_Citizen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137563363456328338" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.smileycentral.com%252F%253Fpartner%253DZSzeb008%255FZNfox000%2526i%253D36%252F36%255F15%255F56%2526feat%253Dprof/page.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_15_56.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Today, our friend Beatrice became a US citizen !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;In the morning, she had her oath ceremony and pledge allegiance to the American flag.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;We gather to celebrate at a bar in Mountain View.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Usually, after 5 years of legal permanent residency in the United States (Green Card), you can ask the US Citizenship through the N-400 form.
