Jacques Cartier ( , also  , , ; ; 31 December 14911 September 1557) was a French-Breton maritime explorer for France. Jacques Cartier was the first European to describe and map the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the shores of the Saint Lawrence River, which he named "The Country of Canadas" after the Iroquoian names for the two big settlements he saw at Stadacona (Quebec City) and at Hochelaga (Montreal Island).

Early life
Jacques Cartier was born in 1491 in Saint-Malo, the port on the north-east coast of Brittany. Cartier, who was a respectable mariner, improved his social status in 1520 by marrying Mary Catherine des Granches, member of a leading aristocratic family. His good name in Saint-Malo is recognized by its frequent appearance in baptismal registers as godfather or witness.

First voyage (1534)
In 1534, two years after the Duchy of Brittany was formally united with France in the Edict of Union, Cartier was introduced to King Francis I by Jean Le Veneur, bishop of Saint-Malo and abbot of Mont Saint-Michel, at the Manoir de Brion. The King had previously invited (although not formally commissioned) the Florentine explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano to explore the eastern coast of North America on behalf of France in 1524. Le Veneur cited voyages to Newfoundland and Brazil as proof of Cartier's ability to "lead ships to the discovery of new lands in the New World".

On April 20, 1534, Cartier set sail under a commission from the king, hoping to discover a western passage to the wealthy markets of Asia. In the words of the commission, he was to "discover certain islands and lands where it is said that a great quantity of gold and other precious things are to be found".

It took him twenty days to sail across the ocean. Starting on May 10 of that year, he explored parts of Newfoundland, the Strait of Belle Isle and southern shore of the Labrador Peninsula, the Gaspé and North Shore coastlines on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and some parts of the coasts of the Gulf's main islands, including Prince Edward Island, Anticosti Island and the Magdalen Islands. During one stop at Îles aux Oiseaux (Islands of the Birds, now the Rochers-aux-Oiseaux federal bird sanctuary, northeast of Brion Island in the Magdalen Islands), his crew slaughtered around 1000 birds, most of them great auks (extinct since 1852). Cartier's first two encounters with aboriginal peoples in Canada on the north side of Chaleur Bay, most likely the Mi'kmaq, were brief; some trading occurred.

His third encounter took place on the shores of Gaspé Bay with a party of St. Lawrence Iroquoians, where on July 24 he planted a cross to claim the land for France. The 10-metre cross bearing the words "Long Live the King of France" claimed possession of the territory in the King's name. The change in mood was a clear indication that the Iroquoians understood Cartier's actions. Here he kidnapped the two sons of their chief, Donnacona. Cartier wrote that they later told him this region where they were captured (Gaspé) was called by them Honguedo. The natives' chief at last agreed that they could be taken, under the condition that they return with European goods to trade.

Cartier returned to France in September 1534, sure that he had reached an Asian land.

Second voyage (1535–1536)

Jacques Cartier set sail for a second voyage on May 19 of the following year with three ships, 110 men, and his two Iroquoian captives. Reaching the St. Lawrence, he sailed upriver for the first time, and reached the Iroquoian capital of Stadacona, where Chief Donnacona ruled.

Cartier left his main ships in a harbour close to Stadacona, and used his smallest ship to continue on to Hochelaga (now Montreal), arriving on October 2, 1535. Hochelaga was far more impressive than the small and squalid village of Stadacona, and a crowd of over a thousand came to the river edge to greet the Frenchmen. The site of their arrival has been confidently identified as the beginning of the Sainte-Marie Sault – where the bridge named after him now stands. The expedition could proceed no further, as the river was blocked by rapids. So certain was Cartier that the river was the Northwest Passage and that the rapids were all that was preventing him from sailing to China, that the rapids and the town that eventually grew up near them came to be named after the French word for China, La Chine: the Lachine Rapids and the town of Lachine, Quebec.

After spending two days among the people of Hochelaga, Cartier returned to Stadacona on October 11. It is not known exactly when he decided to spend the winter of 1535–1536 in Stadacona, and it was by then too late to return to France. Cartier and his men prepared for the winter by strengthening their fort, stacking firewood, and salting down game and fish.

From mid-November 1535 to mid-April 1536, the French fleet lay frozen solid at the mouth of the St. Charles River, under the Rock of Quebec. Ice was over a fathom (1.8 m) thick on the river, with snow four feet (1.2 m) deep ashore. To add to the misery, scurvy broke out – first among the Iroquoians, and then among the French. Cartier estimated the number of dead Iroquoians at 50. On a visit by Domagaya to the French fort, Cartier inquired and learned from him that a concoction made from a tree known as annedda, probably Spruce beer, or arbor vitae, would cure scurvy. This remedy likely saved the expedition from destruction, allowing 85 Frenchmen to survive the winter. In his journal, Cartier states that by mid-February, "out of 110 that we were, not ten were well enough to help the others, a pitiful thing to see". The Frenchmen used up the bark of an entire tree in a week on the cure, and the dramatic results prompted Cartier to proclaim it a Godsend, and a miracle.

Ready to return to France in early May 1536, Cartier decided to kidnap Chief Donnacona and take him to France, so that he might personally tell the tale of a country further north, called the "Kingdom of Saguenay", said to be full of gold, rubies and other treasures. After an arduous trip down the St. Lawrence and a three-week Atlantic crossing, Cartier and his men arrived in Saint-Malo on July 15, 1536, concluding the second, 14-month voyage, which was to be Cartier's most profitable.

Third voyage (1541–1542)

On October 17, 1540, Francis ordered the navigator Jacques Cartier to return to Canada to lend weight to a colonization project of which he would be "captain general". However, January 15, 1541, saw Cartier supplanted by Jean-François de La Rocque de Roberval, a Huguenot courtier and friend of the king named as the first lieutenant general of French Canada. Roberval was to lead the expedition, with Cartier as his chief navigator. While Roberval waited for artillery and supplies, he gave permission to Cartier to sail on ahead with his ships.

On May 23, 1541, Cartier departed Saint-Malo on his third voyage with five ships. This time, any thought of finding a passage to the Orient was forgotten. The goals were now to find the "Kingdom of Saguenay" and its riches, and to establish a permanent settlement along the St. Lawrence River.

Anchoring at Stadacona, Cartier again met the Iroquoians, but found their "show of joy" and their numbers worrisome, and decided not to build his settlement there. Sailing a few kilometres upriver to a spot he had previously observed, he decided to settle on the site of present-day Cap-Rouge, Quebec. The convicts and other colonists were landed, the cattle that had survived three months aboard ship were turned loose, earth was broken for a kitchen garden, and seeds of cabbage, turnip, and lettuce were planted. A fortified settlement was thus created and was named Charlesbourg-Royal. Another fort was also built on the cliff overlooking the settlement, for added protection.

The men also began collecting what they believed to be diamonds and gold, but which upon return to France were discovered to be merely quartz crystals and iron pyrites, respectively—which gave rise to a French expression: "faux comme les diamants du Canada" ("As false as Canadian diamonds"). Two of the ships were sent on their journey home with some of these minerals on September 2.

Having set tasks for everyone, Cartier left with the longboats for a reconnaissance in search of "Saguenay" on September 7. Having reached Hochelaga, he was prevented by bad weather and the numerous rapids from continuing up to the Ottawa River.

Returning to Charlesbourg-Royal, Cartier found the situation ominous. The Iroquoians no longer made friendly visits or peddled fish and game, but prowled about in a sinister manner. No records exist about the winter of 1541–1542 and the information must be gleaned from the few details provided by returning sailors. It seems the natives attacked and killed about 35 settlers before the Frenchmen could retreat behind their fortifications. Even though scurvy was cured through the native remedy (Thuja occidentalis infusion), the impression left is of a general misery, and of Cartier's growing conviction that he had insufficient manpower either to protect his base or to go in search of the Saguenay Kingdom.

Cartier left for France in early June 1542, encountering Roberval and his ships along the Newfoundland coast, at about the time Roberval marooned Marguerite de La Rocque. Despite Roberval's insistence that he accompany him back to Saguenay, Cartier slipped off under the cover of darkness and continued on to France, still convinced his vessels contained a wealth of gold and diamonds. He arrived there in October, in what proved to be his last voyage. Meanwhile, Roberval took command at Charlesbourg-Royal, but it was abandoned in 1543 after disease, foul weather and hostile natives drove the would-be settlers to despair.

Later life
Cartier spent the rest of his life in Saint-Malo and his nearby estate, where he often was useful as an interpreter in Portuguese. He died at age 65 on September 1, 1557, during an epidemic, possibly of typhus, though many sources list his cause of death as unknown. Cartier is interred in Saint-Malo Cathedral.

No permanent European settlements were made in Canada before 1605, when Samuel Champlain founded Port Royal in present-day Victoria Beach just outside Annapolis Royal.

Legacy

Having already located the entrance to the St. Lawrence on his first voyage, he now opened up the greatest waterway for the European penetration of North America. He produced an intelligent estimate of the resources of Canada, both natural and human, albeit with a considerable exaggeration of its mineral wealth. While some of his actions toward the St. Lawrence Iroquoians were dishonourable, he did try at times to establish friendship with them and other native peoples living along the St. Lawrence River—an indispensable preliminary to French settlement in their lands.

Cartier was the first to document the name Canada to designate the territory on the shores of the St-Lawrence River. The name is derived from the Huron-Iroquois word , or village, which was incorrectly interpreted as the native term for the newly discovered land. Cartier used the name to describe Stadacona, the surrounding land and the river itself. And Cartier named  the inhabitants (Iroquoians) he had seen there. Thereafter the name Canada was used to designate the small French colony on these shores, and the French colonists were called  until the mid-nineteenth century, when the name started to be applied to the loyalist colonies on the Great Lakes and later to all of British North America. In this way Cartier is not strictly the European discoverer of Canada as this country is understood today, a vast federation stretching  (from sea to sea). Eastern parts had previously been visited by the Norse, as well as Basque, Galician and Breton fishermen, and perhaps the Corte-Real brothers and John Cabot (in addition of course to the natives who first inhabited the territory). Cartier's particular contribution to the discovery of Canada is as the first European to penetrate the continent, and more precisely the interior eastern region along the St. Lawrence River. His explorations consolidated France's claim of the territory that would later be colonized as New France, and his third voyage produced the first documented European attempt at settling North America since that of Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón in 1526–27.

Cartier's professional abilities can be easily ascertained. Considering that Cartier made three voyages of exploration in dangerous and hitherto unknown waters without losing a ship, and that he entered and departed some 50 undiscovered harbours without serious mishap, he may be considered one of the most conscientious explorers of the period.

Cartier was also one of the first to formally acknowledge that the New World was a land mass separate from Europe/Asia.

Rediscovery of Cartier's first colony

On August 18, 2006, Quebec Premier Jean Charest announced that Canadian archaeologists had discovered the precise location of Cartier's lost first colony of Charlesbourg-Royal. The colony was built at the confluence of the Rivière du Cap Rouge with the St. Lawrence River and is based on the discovery of burnt wooden timber remains that have been dated to the mid-16th century, and a fragment of a decorative Istoriato plate manufactured in Faenza, Italy, between 1540 and 1550, that could only have belonged to a member of the French aristocracy in the colony. Most probably this was the Sieur de Roberval, who replaced Cartier as the leader of the settlement. This colony was the first known European settlement in modern-day Canada since the c. 1000 L'Anse aux Meadows Viking village in northern Newfoundland. Its rediscovery has been hailed by archaeologists as the most important find in Canada since the L'Anse aux Meadows rediscovery.

He went on to become the captain of his high school football team until he decided to hang up his jersey to pursue music full time. Hugh released an EP as a junior, which was funded with street money by his cousin whom was only a year older than him. Determined to pay him back, Hugh went into the streets to sell his EP. In only two months Hugh was able to accumulate the couple thousand needed to pay his cousin back. Based on the success of the EP, Hugh performed at universities such as Loyola Marymount and Santa Clara, as well as Los Angeles venues the Knitting Factory, the Troubadour, and Musicians Institute. When Hugh graduated from high school he moved to New Orleans to further his academic career.


Snow geese are populating the Skagit flats and farm land, as numerous as the scores of colorful tulips which soon will fill nearby fields. The din of the flocks as they land and feed, then rise again in the air is astounding: a symphony of honks and hollers carried from one goose family to another in a ruckus of joyful abandon. Skagit is the New York City of snowgeese for a few weeks, never sleeping.
There are a few geese who wander further up north into Whatcom County to pepper our surrounding dormant cornfields like salt, sprinkled half a dozen here and there across the Nooksack river valley. When there are only a few together, their calling seems so melancholy, almost a disconsolate cry of abandonment carrying over the lonely countryside.
So too am I ensconced away from the clamorous masses, preferring to be part of an out-of-the-way rural landscape. There may be moments of melancholy, to be sure. Yet here, as nowhere else, I know my place in the family of things — of gray clouds, owl hoots, swampy wetlands, frog choruses, orange sunsets, pink sunrises, warm pony muzzles, budding snowdrops, and steaming manure piles. I give myself up to wild abandon in a world offering itself up to my imagination instead of leaving nothing to the imagination.
Instead I celebrate the relative silence allowing me to seek the words to fit the music singing in my soul.

How the 2010 earthquake destroyed the careers of three of Haiti's finest young talents
02/03/2020 by Ralph Chery
Ligue Haitienne club, Violette AC's, 22-year-old attacking midfielder, Yvener Guerrier, paced down the streets of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, toward his house in an immense panic. He had tried calling his family but there wasn't any service. Around him, some of the buildings or houses he was so familiar with were now piles of debris. There were people covered in blood on the ground in intense agony, with severe head injuries or damaged limbs. Some of the bloodied bodies weren't in pain and shock but laid down lifeless, dead.
Everything was hectic as Guerrier's compatriots were rushed to the hospital or getting dug out of the debris. What about his house and his family? Ten minutes away from home, the striker saw a friend who lived in his neighbourhood. Guerrier held his breath as he asked him about the condition of his house.
There was an infinite amount of relief when his friend told him that his house was still standing. When Guerrier did get to his family, he was filled with joy.
The 30-second earthquake of 7.0 magnitude that hit Haiti on 12 January 2010 was one of the worst natural disasters in the modern age. It killed between 220,000 and 300,00 people, as per CNN. It left just about everything the country had to enjoy in complete turmoil, including the peoples' second religion, football.
Just before the natural disaster, Ligue Haitienne was at its peak; talents were blossoming out of it. After Port-au-Prince was left in ruin, the league stopped running for three months. Even after resuming, it took years for Haitian football to get back to its previous level, which is devastating for a country with a love for the sport.
Many players' careers were cut short because of injuries caused by the earthquake. Others ran from the country. Some trials in Europe were cancelled, leaving players heartbroken. For numerous young footballers who had just started to enjoy playing at the professional level, their future in the game was left in jeopardy.
As for some of the older players who started to make a name for themselves, they were never able to continue the glamorous career they started. Guerrier comes to mind.
Yvener Guerrier
Guerrier was one of the most promising young footballers in Haiti. The Violette star's name was often on a list of the three top scorers in Ligue Haitienne. He was a member of the national team, as well. Guerrier had even earned himself a trial in France, which he was really looking forward to.
When the earthquake struck, he was at training with Violette. As the field started to shake, some of his teammates fell. Not knowing the gravity of what was happening, the Violette players laughed. But as soon as they left the stadium, they saw collapsed buildings, survivors covered in blood and dust, and dead bodies on the ground.
"A lot of my teammates started crying because they had wives, kids, brothers, sisters back home," Guerrier said. "They couldn't communicate with them. Me too, I thought about my family at home. I was panicking, I didn't know how they were, my phone wasn't working."
Thankfully there were only minor damages. Indeed, when Guerrier made it home, his loved ones were all alive. They had been worrying about him. "It was a joy to see them. I was really happy," the Violette striker said. "But at the same time, I was sad because, outside, there were people on the ground, some dead, some with serious injuries. There were walls on the ground, people were stuck in the debris. It was terrible."
Although his house wasn't seriously damaged, Guerrier didn't sleep there because of fear of an aftershock. He hopped from tent to tent. One of the places where they erected tents was actually in Haiti's national stadium, the Stade Sylvio Cator. It rained some nights as the forward and his fellow Haitians slept outside. Other nights were long as he tried to comfort his grief-stricken friends who'd lost their loved ones.
Football wasn't available to appease the pain. Ligue Haitienne wasn't in action and his trial in France was cancelled. Guerrier decided to move overseas for a better life and to continue his professional career. "Things changed," he said. "Because of the earthquake, I had to leave the country. Soccer took too long to get back up. I was sad. I missed the Haitian league."
He first moved to the Dominican Republic for a month, where he played for Bauger FC. The level of La Liga Dominicana de Fútbol is much lower than that in Haiti. Consequently, the 22-year-old relocated to Martinique for eight months and played for Golden Star. When he returned to Haiti, he started training with Violette again but chose not to play for them because he wanted to migrate to the United States.
Unfortunately, he never made it professional in the US, coming close with the New York Cosmos, turning out for semi-pro clubs Brooklyn Italians and NYC Haiti. As for the national team, sadly, they were no longer calling him because he wasn't registered within a professional team.
Guerrier wrestled with the thought of moving back to Haiti to play but it was too late. He was in college and founded a youth program, City Soccer Pro, who often organise trips to Haiti for its youth athletes.
Nowadays when Guerrier, who's 32 now, watches Haiti play, or when he visits the country and attends a Ligue Haitienne game, he can't help but endure a deep feeling of regret, when 30 seconds ruined one of the most promising careers in the domestic game.
"I could've still been in Ligue Haitienne or playing somewhere else. Even with the national team, I could've had played more games. The future was bright. I think I would've gone further in my career. But I had to leave the country after the earthquake. That's life, there are some things you can't change, things happened how they happened. You just got to take it."
Jean-Ismaël Voltaire
Like Guerrier, Jean-Ismaël Voltaire was a young player with a bright future ahead of him. The then-15-year-old was, and still is, a versatile defender who's capable of playing either on the left side of defence or in the middle. He had appeared for Haiti's under-15 national team. Despite being a teenager and playing a position that requires experience and bravery, Voltaire broke into AS Carrefour's team in 2009. ASCAR was a club from his hometown that was playing in Haiti's first division at the time.
The youngster felt like he needed to change side, thus, two days before the earthquake, he decided to attend Aigle Noir AC's practice to try his luck with them. While Voltaire was on the bus ride to Aigle Noir's practice session, he saw an old teammate of his from ASCAR, Dominique Charpentier.
Charpentier had transferred to Don Bosco and told Voltaire to come to his team's practice instead. The teenager listened to his friend. "I didn't want to be hard-headed because I knew him. I wanted to go on a team where I knew a player," Voltaire said.
When the defender arrived at Don Bosco's field, they were holding a tryout in which only three players would be selected. Voltaire made sure he was one of them. It was a huge steppingstone in the youngster's career.
The following day, he had another strong training session with Don Bosco. Afterwards, Voltaire was watching a group of his kids playing football by his house. "You know, nobody knew it was going to happen. I had experienced an earthquake before as a kid, but it was a little bit of shaking. This one was terrible," the Haitian said.
As he was enjoying the game, Voltaire felt a violent quaking; he then looked around and saw people running. Frightened, the teenager started sprinting too. Voltaire found himself running to the very place in which he'd made his life – a football pitch. That moment, when the youngster stood with his compatriots on the pitch, was just the beginning of a whole new life for Haitians, in which they would have to dig incredibly deep to find hope.
Fortunately for Voltaire, his family made it out alive, but everything he depended on to make a living stopped brutally: school and football. But were his teammates and coaches still alive? The new club he was so excited to be a part of, what would happen to it now? Everything was in the air.
Football wasn't a priority anymore for footballers. It was all about finding who they'd lost – and everyone lost something or someone – or where the next meal was going to come from. Voltaire remembers travelling from town to town to go to the places where aid stations were distributing food. He also remembers running into fellow footballers, his only moments of joy.
Regardless of the state of Port-au-Prince, there was a distant hope that Ligue Haitienne would eventually resume. Despite not having contacts from anyone at his new club, Voltaire was determined to find his way back to them whenever they started training again. "In life, you never say never," he said. "I always knew if the league was going to start again, I was going to find a way to get back in. The only thing that was going to take me out of the game was if they were never going to have a league again."
Professional football in Haiti was back in action only about three months after the earthquake with the country's cup, the Coupe d'Haiti. But Voltaire still didn't have the contact of anyone at his team, and where they used to train was left in debris.
After earnestly asking around, one person put him in touch with another and, at last, he knew the details of his team's next training session. "It felt really good," Voltaire said. "I got to practice and they remembered me. They said, 'Isn't that the kid from ASCAR?' I was already known to them [before the earthquake] and they liked me."
Don Bosco was relegated during the 2010 season. Voltaire helped the team get promoted back to the top tier after just one season below. Meanwhile, at the international level, the left-back represented Haiti at the under-17, 20 and 23 levels, and even got a senior call-up for a friendly against Harvard University 15 months after the earthquake.
Unfortunately, after moving to the United States in 2013, Voltaire only played at the semi-professional level, falling off the national team's radar.
Christiano François
Four words can begin to describe the beginning of Christiano François' career: dream start, Hollywood movie. The youngster was just a kid from a small town near Port-au-Prince named Cabaret. He was spotted while he was playing in the streets as a 15-year-old and was granted a tryout with Racing. François aced it.
He's an explosive winger with silky control and a powerful shot. François quickly became his team's number 7. He enjoyed a phenomenal season in 2009, in which he netted a sensational volley from the edge of the box to help Racing win the closing half of the season (Ligue Haitienne is divided into an opening and a closing campaign).
Haitian sportswriter Enock Néré wrote on Le Nouvelliste that François could've won the Player of the Year award if he participated in the opening campaign. The starlet was only able to snatch the Young Player of the Year accolade. The sky was the limit for the winger. "Man, I thought I was going to be the next big Haitian player. I always thought I was going to go to Europe to play," he said.
On the day of the earthquake, François was supposed to train with Racing in Port-au-Prince, but he didn't feel like going after his classes ended too late. He stayed in Cabaret to practice with a team there. "God made me not go to Port-au-Prince," the midfielder said.
It was when François and the other players were training that they felt the quake. They thought it was a tractor and finished the session. When they stepped into the streets and saw that the air was filled with brown dust from the broken buildings, that's when they realised it was an earthquake.
The rising star thought the dream start of his career was over. "I thought my career was done," François said. "I even thanked God because I had time to make it to the top level in Haiti and was just going to focus on school because it would've taken a long time for soccer to get back to what it was.
"A lot of my team's fans died. The houses of some of the board members of the club collapsed. People lived in the stadium. My club was totally deteriorated. There was no more Racing Club, everybody lost hope. Soccer didn't have value anymore."
François and his mother prayed for any opportunities to present itself. "I'll never forget that day," he said. "I was home talking to my mum about what would happen of my career. My phone rang – an agent from the United States called me. He saw me on the first page of Ticket Magazine and that I was the best young player in the country. He asked me if I wanted to move to New Jersey and play for a school named Saint Benedict's Prep."
François moved to the US in 2010 with only a small suitcase to his name. Two years later, the Haitian won New Jersey Player of the Year. The now-26-year-old went on to play in the second tier in the US, the United Soccer League, where he's one of the best wingers. Indeed, he won Ottawa Fury's 2019 Fan Player of the Year and is a member of the national team.
A few other players who stayed in Haiti after the earthquake managed to enjoy a successful career, much like Wilde-Donald Guerrier. It took three years but in 2013, Wilde-Donald had an offer from a Polish club, Wisła Kraków. In 2017, the left-back moved to Azerbaijan side, Qarabag, appearing in the Champions League with them. The Haitian is still playing in Azerbaijan but with Neftçi PFK.
A decade after the earthquake, Ligue Haitienne is back at its previous level, and many of its youth products are receiving opportunities to play overseas. Even though the league did rebuild, the earthquake left it with a deep scar. There will always be a sense that Ligue Haitienne would've been at a higher level today if a large number of its talents didn't leave the country in 2010.
"The earthquake had a lot of impact on our football," Guerrier said. "A lot of players left the country, a lot of good players. The level of our league regressed after the earthquake. The physical and tactical level of the players went down."
But at least Yvener Guerrier, Jean-Ismaël Voltaire and Christiano François survived to tell their story. As Haiti continues on a slow path to economic recovery, the hope is that one day, football in the nation will be able to bring the same joy as it did before the earthquake. And who knows, maybe one day we'll see a Haitian football grace one of Europe's top leagues.

Axelle Francine Parker's Graceful Beauty
Le Petit Med Spa owner takes a fresh approach to aging
By Bonny Osterhage
Parisian born Axelle Francine Parker knows that quick fixes can seem like the simplest approach when it comes to aging, but through her Le Petit Med Spa she wants to show locals there's another way.
"Quick fixes are easier and faster, but everything takes time and beauty and wellness are no exception," says Parker, who opened her business in Northwest San Antonio in January. There, you'll find some of the most innovative European techniques and products designed to help women look and feel their best. What you won't find? Botox, harsh peels or fillers.
"Injectables are like putting a Band-Aid on a wound," explains Parker, whose motto is, "beauty should not be pain."
A former journalist who moved to New York City in 2010 as a fashion correspondent, Parker relocated to San Antonio in 2011 while dating her now-husband former Spur Tony Parker and started her career as an image consultant. She soon learned that her clients wanted advice on more than just style. That's when the idea for Le Petite Med Spa was born.
With everything from an infrared sauna for detoxing to a stimulating Jet Peel facial and the Valmont cellular skincare line from Switzerland, La Petit Med Spa offers a full menu of services designed to rejuvenate, rebalance, reshape, refine and restyle—all without downtime. "It's affordable luxury," Parker says. "We want women to be able to maintain a regimen."
Parker says that she, like most European women, began her own regimen at a very early age. But living a beautiful life is about much more than just the physical things—you also have to make time for what fills your mind, body and soul, she says. For her, that includes spending quality time with her husband and their two young boys. It also includes enjoying delicious cuisine and wine—preferably French.
Eventually, Parker hopes to franchise her business and change the way women approach aging, embracing the path instead of fighting it in unnatural ways. "Enjoy your features. They are what make you unique," she says. "We just want to help you age with grace."

Russian Spies
by Against Me!
After taking a break in late 2010, Florida Punkers Against Me! took the opportunity to record a couple of songs they had kicking around that did not necessarily feel like tracks for the follow up to their White Crosses album. This tune was recorded as the A-side with "Occult Enemies" making up the B-side. They were released as a 7" vinyl single on June 14, 2011 on Sabot Productions.
The songs were recorded in Madison, Wisconsin at a now-closed studio prior to the band's March 2011 tour with Dropkick Murphys. Madison is the home base of Butch Vig, who produced Against Me!'s previous two albums. "We had a break between tours this past February that left us nowhere near Florida," frontman Tom Gabel (who later became Laura Jane Grace) told Spin magazine. "When I realized that we were going to be close to Madison, though, I gave Butch a call to see if there was any way we could go into Smart Studios to record a couple of songs that I had in my pocket. I knew that Smart was closed to the public but that most of the gear was still there. I wanted to have the chance to record there before it was gone for good. Butch was cool enough to help make it happen."
The band's sessions at Smart overlapped with massive protests taking place in Madison against a bill that would remove most collective bargaining rights for public worker unions. "As we were recording, the capital was erupting just down the street from us which I think only helped add to the immediacy of the songs," Gabel recalled to Spin. "'Russian Spies' is a song about existential dread, narcotic submarines, oil spills, and the now almost distant memory of a red threat. In this brave new world, sometimes I find myself longing for enemies so simple."
The songs marked the studio debut of the band's new drummer Jay Weinberg, who is the son of the E Street Band's Max Weinberg.

Q: Port forward list is empty in DD-WRT Router: Linksys WRT-54G-TM
DD-WRT Version:  DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/12/10) mega
When I go to NAT/ QoS => Port Forwarding, the list is empty.  I previously had port forwards set there, and they are still actually working, so I'm guessing that it's just a display bug.
I suspect the display issue might be because of low nvram.  I cleared the ttraf data, but it's still very low (size: 32095 bytes (673 left)).  I've also tried lowering the maximum ports, TCP timeout, and UDP timeout values and rebooted the router, but the nvram is still low.
I haven't tried a hard reset yet because I've set a lot of configurations over the years and I don't remember all of them.  If I could resolve the display issue without doing a hard reset, I can take a screenshot of each page, and then perform a hard reset and re-configure.
Any ideas on how I could resolve this would be great.

A: The issue is that the NVRAM is full, so you need to delete some content. Preferably the history of the WAN traffic. On newer DD-WRT there is a delete button, but on older ones like v24 SP1, there is no GUI for this.
You can solve this by doing the following:

*

*Login with SSH to the router

*nvram show | grep traff
This will list you all the traffic variables. Eg: traff-05-2013 means the data from May, 2013. If you want to keep them, just copy to excel or notepad
Delete 1-2 year's data with:

*nvram unset traff-05-2013

*Repeat step 3 with all the traff-* variables you want to delete

*nvram commit  to save the changes.

After this the list of the port forward will be empty, but now you just have to press the Add button as many times as many port forwards were set, they will show up in the list.

A: I have the same problem (WRT54GL, DD-WRT v24-sp1 (07/27/08) std) and also needed to free some nvram memory. When the memory is not full, I can force ddwrt to display the forwarded ports using the add button in the gui, multiple times.
As for the problem "can't remember all settings". I downloaded all ddwrt settings by logging in with putty, turning on the log file and issuing nvram show. Then I have the settings in my local file, I can sort it and review. Through nvram command it's also possible to change the router settings.

JANUARY 22 TO BE DESIGNATED
"HI, HOW ARE YOU?" DAY IN AUSTIN
Awareness for city-wide, neighbor-to-neighbor mental well-being check-in highlighted by a night of music and art and featuring performances by, Moving Panoramas, Kathy McCarty, Cowboy Diplomacy, Jane Ellen Bryant and Will Courtney.
(AUSTIN, TEXAS – January 9, 2018) – "Hi, How Are You?" Foundation is pleased to present, in partnership with SIMS Foundation, City of Austin Music & Entertainment Division, and Mohawk, a night of music and art celebrating mental wellness on Monday, January 22 at Mohawk, located at 912 Red River St., Austin, Texas, 78701. The line-up includes Moving Panoramas (featuring Laurie Gallardo), Kathy McCarty, Cowboy Diplomacy, Jane Ellen Bryant, Will Courtney, Leslie Sisson with Josh T. Pierson and Jonathan Terrell, and special guests. The musicians will perform select songs written by Daniel Johnston, as well as their own original music. The event starts at 6:30 p.m. with a VIP art sale and cocktail hour with bites by Frank, and features works by artists Daniel Johnston, David Thornberry, Jason Archer, Miguel Rangel, and Matthew Rodriguez. Art will be for sale throughout the event and music starts at 8:00 p.m.
"Hi, How Are You?" Day is the brainchild of Courtney Blanton and Tom Gimbel, co-founders of the aptly named "Hi, How Are You?" Foundation that promotes togetherness and education around mental well-being. It derives its name from the beloved Austin frog, "Jeremiah the Innocent", famously painted on the corner of Guadalupe and 21st Street by singer-songwriter and visual artist Daniel Johnston. Johnston's own mental health issues have long been chronicled and serve as inspiration to the music community and beyond that mental wellness can be a challenge for all of us and we need to check our mental health just like we get a physical at the doctor. "Hi, How Are You?" Day, will be officially proclaimed by the City of Austin on January 22 and will remind citizens of Austin to check on their friends and neighbors' mental health and offer assistance and resources if needed.
Tickets for the "Hi, How Are You?" Day show can be purchased for $10 in advance/$15 at the door for general admission, and $50 for the VIP ticket that includes art preview and sale, food and drink. Buy tickets at:

"I have struggled with depression and anxiety throughout my life. I wanted a day to inspire and encourage others to talk openly about their own struggles and to really listen to and be with one another," said Courtney Blanton, co-founder of "Hi, How Are You?" Foundation. "My goal is to create a platform where leaders in the field of mental health come together to exchange ideas and foster positive change."
"I have had the privilege of working with Daniel Johnston for 25 years," said Tom Gimbel, co-founder of "Hi, How Are You?" Foundation. "He is both a longtime friend and a lifetime inspiration. I can't believe that 'Jeremiah the Innocent' has been staring us in the face all this time and no one has thought about the true meaning."
"SIMS Foundation is thrilled to be part of this creative effort to reduce stigma for seeking mental health services," said Heather Alden, Executive Director of SIMS Foundation. "Musicians make eloquent and poetic work out of their emotions. But, emotional well-being can be difficult to maintain. We want the Austin music family and all Austinites to know resources exist for treating their mental health issues. "
"The Austin Music & Entertainment Division jumped at the chance to be involved in the inaugural 'Hi, How Are You? Day,'" said Erica Shamaly, Division Manager at City of Austin Music & Entertainment Division. "Music is an integral component of what makes Austin special, but the hours and expectations of the industry can be tough, leading to addiction or other challenges. We must be sure that we check in on each other, and this event is a great reminder to do just that."
ABOUT THE "HI, HOW ARE YOU?" FOUNDATION:
The "Hi, How Are You?" (HHAY) Foundation was created to generate new conversation around mental well-being. The name and city-proclaimed HHAY Day were inspired by Austin's love for the iconic mural painted by Daniel Johnston. On January 22nd (Johnston's birthday) Austinites are encouraged to check in on a neighbor, friend, co-worker, family member, or loved one and ask, "Hi, How Are You?". The Foundation, created with the support of the Johnston Family, provides a platform for the exchange of ideas and education on mental well-being. Johnston is a world-renowned musician and visual artist despite his own struggles with mental illness. www.hihowareyou.org
