I got up from bed covering my mouth with my hand as I yawned. I hate Mondays, I've always did. Well actually there was a time where I loved them, Mondays where the only days that Alex and I could spend the day together. Alex was my boyfriend, we dated for 4 years and even shared an apartment. We went to college together, I was on the art department and Alex was on the music department. For a strange reason on monday we had full day of free periods or study halls so we could see each other all day, we would go to the coffee shop on campus and then maybe shopping or just walk through the park. It was on our graduation that Alex decided to break up with me, he said he had met another guy and that he needed the space on his apartment, so two days later he kicked me out, literally. Lucky for me I found a little apartment a week later, so I moved all my stuff from the hotel I was currently living on to my new apartment. It was nice, but a little too small. I guess it was okay for me since I was living alone, and it was better than living in a big apartment were I will feel lonely all the time. Not that I don't feel in here too but, you know what I mean.
I walked to the kitchen and poured myself a cup of coffee as I woke up completely. I took an apple from the fridge and sat down on the kitchen counter and read an old art magazine as I sipped my coffee and bit my apple. Huh, maybe I could order this new acrylic paintings for the store, I'll think about it. When I was done with my apple I threw the remains to the trash and took a quick shower. I got dressed into a pair of jeans and a red shirt, simple enough to go to work, I also grabbed my coat and a scarf. As I walked to the door I grabbed my wallet and my keys. One of the disadvantages of my apartment was that there was no parking lot so I had to find a free spot on the street. When I got home last night it was pretty late so I got a good parking spot just a few feet away from the apartment building. For someone with not too much money I do have a car quite descent, it's a red mustang 67 convertible. I'm proud of my baby, still in perfect shape. Without wasting another minute admiring my car I got in and drove off to work.
It was november, so it was pretty cold here in New York, still with the cold air I kept the hood of the car opened, I've always loved the cold breeze. It reminds me a lot of the time Alex and I would take long strolls through central park in winter. He hated winter but it has always been my favorite station and he knew it so he endured the cold with me. I sighed as I parked in front of the local. It's been almost a year since Alex broke up with me and I still sigh when I think about us. I was brought out of my trace by Bell's voice.
"Could you please whine about your past in the store? It's freezing out here." She said as she stood next to my car with her hands in her coat pockets. She was wearing that god awful beige coat she adores. I laughed as I got out of the car.
"Good morning to you too my lovely Bells." I told her sarcastically as I took the keys from my pocket and unlocked to door to the store. The little bell hanging from the door rang as I opened it, welcoming us again to the local.
After graduating and moving to my new apartment I decided that I needed to work, but I've always hated working for people, so I decided, why not have my own store? So that's how Serenity Art was created. It was a small local where I sell all kinds of stuff related to art, you can find brushes, canvases, acrylics, everything, plus there is a small room where I display my art. Every painting that I do I sell it. When the store began to grow and more and more people knew about it I decided to hire someone to help me. Today, that someone is Bella Swan. She is an art graduated too and works full-time with me at Serenity. Bella has become one of my best friends and I feel that I can tell her everything. She is totally aware of my sexual orientation and is totally okay with it, for which I am grateful.
"Good morning." She said after we were inside the local. "You know, you should get here before your employees to open up so they don't freeze their asses off." Bella complained all the way to the back of the store where she placed her coat down and put on her name tag.
"Employees? It's just you and me Bells." I told her with a small chuckle as I placed my own coat on a chair along with my scarf and put on my own name tag. It was still pretty early for any costumer to arrive so I walked to the exhibition room and turned on the lights that illuminated the paintings.
"Whatever, you still could be a little more punctual for that matter. Why don't you just give me a spare key so I can open up the store if I arrive before you?"
"Actually," I said turning to Bella. "That is a good idea. I'll have a spare key made for you and as soon as I have it I'll give it to you so when I arrive 'late' according to you, you don't have to freeze your ass of."
"Thank you, that's all I'm asking." She said as she threw her arms to the air in a dramatic gesture. Bella is a total drama queen, she overreact even for the smallest detail.
"Good, because that's all you are getting you drama queen." I laughed as I returned to the front of the store and walked to the back of the counter. "Now you walk in here and sit down where you belong. Be a good girl and work."
Bella sighed. She hates to be treated like a child, which I make sure to do since she hates it so much, but she listens to me since I'm 3 years older than her and her boss. "Yes Jasper." She says in a dry tone as she slowly walks next to me and sits down on the chair behind the register. Bella and I can be best friends, but when it comes to work I'm her boss and she is an employee, with a very good relationship, but still.
I was on the phone ordering the acrylic paintings I saw this morning. It was now 2:30 in the after noon, that's when I heard Bella calling my name. When I finished sorting things out with the saleslady on the phone I returned to the front of the store to find Bella talking to... him. He is a frequent customer, normally he comes by every afternoon around this time. Bella says that he is a famous musician named Edward. Personally, I do not know much about music, so I had never heard of him, but she says he is quite famous around New York. We have never had a conversation apart from when he is buying one of my paintings.
I still remember the first time that he came to the store, he was wearing sunglasses and a hat, even though it was cloudy outside. At first I thought he was just a weir guy, but then when Bella told me about who he was I understood, he was trying to be discreet in public. That day he bought one of my first paintings, he even asked if it was from a famous painter, when I told him it was my work he bought it in an instant, ever since that day he has come here almost every afternoon.
"Where you calling me Bella?" I asked her even though I know she did, I just wanted to get his attention and let him know that I was here. When Edward saw me he smiled kindly at me making me blush a little. "Good afternoon." I greeted him.
"Yeah Jazz, he was asking for you again. I was kind of disappointed he wasn't here looking for me." Bella said as he winked at Edward and walked away from us to the register. I shook my head an walked towards him.
"I'm sorry if she made you uncomfortable, she's kind of blunt." I told him as we slowly walked to the exhibition room.
"It's okay, don't worry about it." Said Edward with a chuckle. "So, I see you've work hard since the last time I came, which was yesterday." He said, referring to the new painting under the spotlight. Yesterday when Edward came here it was still incomplete he told me he was looking forward to see it finished so I stayed up late last night finishing it just for him. The fist day I met Edward and he bought my painting he told me that my paintings gave him inspiration, that he loved how he could tell what I was feeling just from my paintings, that made me so happy I felt I could die, so ever since that day when I'm painting I think of Edward and I can paint everything I want to tell him. "I love this one, I'll take it."
"Okay I'll tell Bella to-" I began but Edward cut me off.
"Was it for your girlfriend? I mean, did your girlfriend inspired this?" Edward asked me as he stared intently to the painting. "I sense passion, and love, and sadness, but mostly passion. Were you thinking of her when you made this?"
"A-Actually I don't have a girlfriend. It's someone I like actually, but I think its unrequired love I guess. I-It's complicated." I confessed to him as I stuttered. Actually I was thinking of you. Yes, I like Edward and I have a big crush on him, but I'm positive he is straight and probably has a girlfriend. I mean just look at him, beautiful emerald-green eyes, messy bronze hair and fair skin. He's possibly the sexiest man I've ever seen.
"Unrequired love huh?" He said almost in a whisper. "I think I know how that feels." Edward turned to look at me and smiled again. For just a second he stared deeply into my eyes before looking away and walking back to the front of the store. I was paralyzed in place, I could feel the heat burning my cheeks and my heart beating in my chest, all because Edward stared at me for a second. God, calm down Jasper. Go out there and thank him for buying your painting. I obeyed my brain and walked out of the exhibition room just to find an empty store. He left already? I sighed and walked to Bella.
"Jasper if you don't ask him out the next time he comes I'm so gonna kick your ass you little pussy. Can't you see he wants you too? Have you not seen how he looks at you?"
"Bella, I'm certain he is straight. Besides, he hasn't made any move that make me believe otherwise, so just drop it okay?" I told her annoyed. Whenever Edward leaves she begins to tell me how I should ask him out and how I totally swoon over him and that may be true but I can't just ask him out. I don't even know the guy for god´s sake. All I know about him is his name and the fact that he is a musician, nothing else and he just knows my name because I have a name tag and because Bella told him so.
"Good night Jasper, I'll see you tomorrow. On time." Bella said as she picked up her coat and slipped it on.
"Yeah yeah, I'll be on time tomorrow Bella, don't worry about freezing your ass off this time." I told her with a laugh as I piled up some boxes. "I'll take this to the back room and close the store so you go ahead and leave. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay, be good Jazz." She said before leaving. I looked down at the boxes in front of me and sighed before picking them up and slowly walking to the staff room. I placed them on the corner. I took the garbage bag and walked to the alley next to the store to put it on the trash, there was a door on the staff room so I didn't have to walk from the front of the store. When I returned I was ready to go so I picked up my coat but a loud thud on the door made me drop it. I opened the door and saw Edward there. He quickly made his way through the door, closed it behind him and pushed me against the wall.
My heart stopped and my breath caught. "Ummm E-Edward, what are-"
"Shhhh." He said. Suddenly I heard faint voices in the distance.
"Ughh where is he? I swear I just saw him walk into this alley." A girls voice said. Could it be a fan girl? "Oh well, come on girls. Let's keep looking for him." The same girl said and I heard footsteps walking away, a lot of them. Wow, he is quite famous after all.
Edward sighed and moved away from me. "I'm so sorry Jasper, I was being chased by some girls and I had no where else to hide." He said as he brushed himself off. His hair looked messier than usual and his jacket was missing.
"Where is your jacket? You may catch a cold if you don't put it on." I said, kicking myself mentally for letting him notice that I worry about him too much.
"They took it, those girls from earlier. While I was running I fell down and they caught up to me and attacked me, taking my jacket in the process before I could run away again." Explained Edward, he still looked a little out of breath.
"Oh, do you want me to take you home?" I offered as I took my coat from the floor and slipped in it.
"No don't worry about it, I actually live pretty close from here." Edward said. There was a small awkward silence between us which I wanted to break but I had no idea what to say, I mean I couldn't just- "Hey Jasper can I ask you a favor?"
"A-A favor? Umm sure what kind of favor?"
"Could you give me your number?"
I didn't know what to say then. I mean of course I know what to say, it's just that I can't say it, I can't make my brain send messages to my mouth to articulate a single word. Am I asleep? Did I fell asleep while I was at the staff rom? Is this really happening? Wait Jasper, don't get ahead of yourself, maybe he just wants your number to call you and ask about your paintings or something. Yeah it must be it, but still, he wants my number. Say something Jasper! Oh right, my number.
"Ummm yeah just, err give your phone." I told him kind of awkwardly. Edward handed me his phone and I clicked my phone into it before returning it to him. Okay Jasper, say something clever, or just say something. "May I ask why you want my number for?"
"Maybe I want to get together some time. Whine about our unrequired love together is better than to do it alone, maybe we could do that some time. Or we could just talk... or not, if you want." Edward said looking away from me. Is that a blush I'm looking at?
I smiled widely to him. "Yeah, maybe we could talk or not talk together. It would be nice."
"Good, umm I have to head back home now, but I'll call you." Edward said as he walked to the back door again and opened it. He turned to look at me and smiled. "Good night Jasper, and thank again, for helping me."
"It's okay, don't worry about it. Good night Edward." I said and smiled back. When Edward closed the door as he left I slid down the wall next to me. Edward just ask for my number and said that we could get together sometime. I totally have to call Bells and brag about it in her face, I thought as I walked to the front of the store, grabbed my things and walked out. I locked the door and walked to my car. The whole ride home I couldn't stop smiling about tonight's events. Life has just gotten more interesting.
A/N: So this is the first slash story I have ever written so please be kind to me. And again, I apologize for my very bad english I do as best as I can to make good fictions, I hope you liked it and you know what to do. R&R please.

Updated at 10:15 a.m. ET
GOP presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann insisted today that she's "substantive" as she answered questions about her gaffes and misstatements.
Bachmann, a Minnesota congresswoman, has in the past had to correct comments such as saying the Revolutionary War battles of Lexington and Concord occurred in New Hampshire. The presidential candidate was asked Sunday on Fox News if she was a "flake," a comment she said she found "insulting."
She officially kicked off her 2012 campaign Monday in Waterloo, her Iowa birthplace.
"People can make mistakes and I wish I could be perfect every time I say something, but I can't," Bachmann said today on CNN. "But one thing people know about me is that I'm a substantive, serious person and I have a strong background."
Politifact, a fact-checking project of the St. Petersburg Times, found that one out of 23 past Bachmann statements was true, with the rest ranging from "half true" to so wrong that it's a "pants on fire" comment.
In an interview on ABC's Good Morning America, Bachmann was asked about her statement earlier this year that the Founding Fathers who wrote the Constitution and Declaration of Independence "worked tirelessly to end slavery."
She stood by her comment and cited the role of John Quincy Adams, who was his father's secretary. "He tirelessly worked throughout his life to make sure that we did in fact one day eradicate slavery," Bachmann told ABC.
In 1836, members of Congress from the South passed a "gag rule" that said the House of Representatives would table petitions against slavery. As a congressman, Adams fought against the gag rule for eight years until he won repeal of the measure, according to his official biography on the White House website.
"John Quincy Adams most certainly was a part of the Revolutionary War era. He was a young boy but he was actively involved," Bachmann said on ABC, referring to Adams' work alongside his father.

Reader Sandra Hansel of Fairlawn, after reading my column today,knew I would need some help using up all of my garden's zucchini, so she sent me this recipe, which she found years ago in a Miami Herald Food Section.
If you haven't read it, here's the link so you know what I'm talking about:
The recipe is for Chocolate Zucchini Cake, which is a favorite of her four granddaughters.
"This is the BEST way to eat zucchini!!!" she wrote.
Here's the recipe. Sounds yummy. Let me know if you try it.
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 stick butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 tsps baking soda
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
11/2 to 2 cups grated zucchini
1/2 to 1 cup semi-sweetened chocolate chips, optional
1/3 to 1 cup chopped nuts, optional

Cabrini Medical Center, New York, NY
PURPOSE: Deep venous thrombosis(DVT) is common/preventable medical condition contributing to increased morbidity/mortality/length of stay(LOS)/cost/pulmonary embolus(PE). The purpose of our study was to evaluate adequate prophylaxis [our definition of adequate DVT prophylaxis was based on the Seventh ACCP Conference(SACCPC) Guidelines on Antithrombotic and Thrombolytic Therapy] and activity order in hospitalized patients with hospital acquired DVT in a community teaching hospital.
METHODS: Retrospective chart review of hospitalized patients from January 2004 to September 2005 who developed DVT while in the hospital. Analysis included demographics, admitting service/unit, activity order, type of DVT prophylaxis used, hospital day when the diagnosis of DVT was made, location of DVT, LOS, development of PE and clinical outcomes.
RESULTS: 72 patients were identified including 46(64%) females and 26(36%) males. 37(51%) of patients were medical, 20(28%) surgical and 15(21%) orthopedic. 52(72%) patients were on medical/ surgical units and 20(28%) were in ICU/CCU. 14/72(19%) patients had no activity order, 25(35%) had bed rest order, 14(19%) as tolerated order and 19(27%) out of bed order(OOB).There was no DVT prophylaxis in 19/37(51%) medical, 6/20(30%) surgical and 3/15(20%) orthopedic patients. There was inadequate prophylaxis in 6/37(16%)medical, 7/20(35%) surgical and 5/15(33%) orthopedic patients. 59/72(82%) patients developed lower extremity DVT and 13/72(18%) upper extremity DVT. The DVTs occured on average on hospital day 15. 9(13%) patients were diagnosed with PE (2 medical, 5 surgical and 2 orthopedic). 6(8%) patients expired and none from PE.
CONCLUSION: 53(73%) of all the patients had no activity order, bed rest order, or as tolerated order(this is vague order). 46(64%)had either no or inadequate DVT prophylaxis. These DVTs most likely contributed to increased LOS and definitely contributed to an increase in morbidity in hospitalized patients.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: All patients should be screened for DVT prophylaxis on admission and regularly during hospitalization. All patients should have OOB orders whenever possible. Mandatory admission forms that include patient activity orders and screening for DVT prophylaxis should implemented in all hospitals. DVT prophylaxis should be consistent with SACCPC guidelines.

Words are powerful. They can topple political regimes, polarize discourse, and frame our thoughts. It was not long ago that physicians often called asthma "reactive airways disease."2 An unfortunate result of this was that many considered asthma to be a disease of airway smooth muscle, characterized by bronchodilator deficiency and diagnosed using bronchial provocation testing, which has a strong negative predictive value but is not a robust diagnostic test to confirm the clinical diagnosis of asthma.3 We face a similar confusion of words today. Flexible bronchoscopy has safely facilitated spelunking in an ever-increasing number of airways, and high-resolution CT scanning using low radiation doses and incremental scanning has increased resolution while decreasing radiation exposure to levels comparable to a standard chest radiograph,4 making high-resolution CT scanning almost a routine diagnostic test in some patients with chronic lung disease. We are recognizing that more airways than we suspected contain bacteria, inflammatory cells, or both and that more patients with chronic lung problems and relatively normal chest radiographs have high-resolution CT scanning evidence of bronchiectasis.

UPDATE 4-Turkish ruling party orders protesters from Istanbul park
* Hundreds still camped out in Gezi Park
* Ruling party mulls referendum on development plans
* Prime Minister meets protest representatives
* Hundreds of lawyers stage protest
By Jonathon Burch and Ayla Jean Yackley
ANKARA/ISTANBUL, June 12 (Reuters) - Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's ruling party ordered protesters out of an Istanbul park on Wednesday, while making a limited concession in the form of an offer to hold a referendum on redevelopment plans that caused nearly two weeks of riots.
Huseyin Celik, deputy chairman of the Justice and Development (AK) Party, said hundreds of demonstrators still camped in Gezi Park, which adjoins Taksim Square in the heart of Istanbul, must leave immediately.
Police fired tear gas into thousands of people gathered on Taksim late on Tuesday, sending them scattering into side streets, before bulldozing barricades and reopening the square to traffic for the first time since the troubles began.
But a ramshackle settlement of tents pitched in Gezi Park in the corner of the square, in what began as a peaceful campaign over plans to build there, were left largely untouched as skirmishes raged around them. Continued...

The Highland football team put together a season to remember in 2013 by winning the Suburban League championship and advancing to a Division II state semifinal game.
Hornets players, coaches and fans enjoyed the ride, which included playoff victories over Avon Lake, Massillon and Avon, and a loss to Cleveland Glenville.
Coach Tom Lombardo guided Highland to a 13-1 overall record and a 7-0 league mark, and he is optimistic that the Hornets can create more memories this season.
"We have 24 seniors this year after graduating 17 seniors off of last year's team," Lombardo said. "We have eight starters back on defense and five on offense.
"Anytime any team plays extra playoff games, it gives you an added advantage for the following year. We got in four playoff games and got in additional practices that a lot of teams did not get. We played several quality teams and gained valuable experience."
Coltin Kinsey and Nick Corvo are part of a senior class that includes Michael Doak, Connor McCune, Blake Phelps, Tanner Ramey, Grant Wallace and Keith Williams.
"This senior class has been solid since middle school," Lombardo said. "They tasted that experience as contributing juniors. It is their show now, and so far so good in terms of what we have been trying to accomplish in practice.
"As always it is a battle week in and week out. We go right off the bat against [visiting] Nordoina in our league schedule [in Week 4]. They have great players and have been knocking at the door. Then we have Wadsworth, Copley and Tallmadge. Green has new coaches and Revere and Cloverleaf are up and coming teams."
Here is a preview capsule for the 2014 season:
Highland Hornets
League: Suburban League. 2013 record: 13-1, 7-0.
Coach: Tom Lombardo, eighth season at Highland; 11th overall. Coach's record: 81-34 overall; 53-25 at Highland.

Never mind, I think I got it, duh... the wires from the valve switch will splice into the lamp cord, not to the socket itself. The lamp cord connects to the socket. I have made a few bottle lamps, so I know that much.I just wasn't sure how /where the valve switch would tie in, but found some more details on another insructable.View Instructable »
Thank you, appreciate your response. Very grateful for the detailed instructions!! Awsome! Can't wait to get started on one of my own! :-)View Instructable »
Great instructions, You didn't miss a beat!! One question though, does the valve handle turn it on and off too? Or just for dimming? And if you wanted to use the valve handle for on and off, what to do with the push through switch on the socket??View Instructable »
Great instructions! Just wondering, how does the water valve connect to the lamp socket? Is there a specific type of socket? Looking forward to starting a project, but not sure how to connect the valve to the socket once the valve is assembled. Appreciate your feedback. Thanks, olliedogView Instructable »

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: This is the same product as the RFM22 Shield. The difference is this version comes in fancy clamshell packaging meant for our distributors that need it. Regular customers are welcome to order, but we want to limit the amount of extra packaging finding its way into the trash heap.
The RFM22 is a low-cost ISM FSK transceiver module which offers communication at 433MHz ISM and adjustable output power of up to +20 dBm. What does that mean for you? It means your Arduino now has an inexpensive way to talk to other Arduinos so building point-to-point and even basic mesh networks just got a lot more attractive.
The RFM22 Shield connects the RFM22 module to the appropriate lines on the Arduino. By using the RF22 Library, you can send and receive messages via standard 4-wire SPI. The library includes command structures for setting up anything from simple non-addressed point-to-point communication to fully addressed networks of clients and routers. The shield also provides a through-hole antenna connection for hooking up a basic wire antenna. In our testing, a 17cm wire attached to the 'ANT' pin worked just fine. A hole is drilled next to the 'ANT' pin for strain relief.
The shield has on-board power regulation and level shifting. There are one pin headers and jumpers on the interrupt (nIRQ), interface select (nSEL), shutdown input (SDN) and GPIO2 lines so that you can cut the trace and reroute those lines if you need to for your project. The board also provides a little bit of prototyping space.

A call of Chinese direct has carried Blackmores share cost aloft than any ASX batch in new memory.
Daigous finished millions re-selling baby regulation and other Australian products, though their multi-million dollar trade is now underneath threat.
THEY'VE finished their fortunes reselling Aussie products to penetrating business in China, though now that brands have cottoned on to a success of a daigou — a online traders creation millions by recommending and shipping their products to China — companies are penetrating to pull them out of a process.
With Australian manufacturers expanding their operations to sell directly to Chinese people, private sellers are fearing a destiny of a multi-million dollar daigou trade might not be so essential after all.
International grey marketplace traders, now improved famous by their Chinese name daigous, initial gained open courtesy in Australia during a rise of final year's baby regulation necessity scandal.
Demand for Australian-made organic baby regulation peaked in China, where trust in internal dairy products had plummeted. The direct trafficked all a proceed behind to internal Australian chemists and supermarkets where shelves were nude by Chinese shoppers bulk-buying a product and shipping it behind home.
While some kept to promulgation a tins of a "white gold" to their friends and family as favours, others saw a distinction intensity and scaled adult their businesses.
Daigous were offered tins of baby regulation for adult to $200 any to unfortunate buyers, and pocketing a large profits.
Since daigous began to make headlines, it's turn open believe their sales aren't singular to tot products. They're also creation large bucks buying, reselling and shipping all sorts of Australian-made products from uninformed food, to health and nourishment products, vitamins, and cosmetics.

Earlier this year, an coming on a renouned Chinese soap show saw direct for Weet-Bix sky rocket and daigou attractive adult to $50 a box for a cereal that retails for between $4 and $5 on supermarket shelves. Some Sydney daigou are believed to have finished adult to $3 million from their daigou businesses.
The success of Australian products pushed by a daigou community, whose personal proceed to offered is reputable and their recommendations valued by their online audience, has led a large brands to take notice and take advantage of a giveaway offered daigous have finished for them.
Iconic Australian breakfast code Sanitarium is one of a latest businesses to learn from a success a had in sales by a daigou community, and e xpand a business operations into China as a result .
Rather than relying on a daigou community, a cereal hulk will sell a renouned product Weet-Bix in some-more than 1500 bricks-and-mortar stores and aim Chinese business directly by flagship online platforms like digital marketplace Alibaba.
The brand's enlargement and concentration on a Chinese marketplace follows a series of Australian brands that have sought to sell directly to China.
Sanitarium has affianced a different proceed to China, and pronounced it would acknowledge and welcome a daigou community's purpose in a expansion, though other companies have been some-more assertive and attempted to cut out private sellers completely.

Marketing consultant and executive of consulting association Access China, Livia Wang, told news.com.au there was good fear in a daigou village surrounding these expansions.
"This has a been a good regard generally over a final several months," she said.
"After a recognition of a Australian product to a Chinese market, it has unequivocally been a worry in a daigou village that companies would try to pull them out."
Ms Wang pronounced regard for daigou began when a indication started to be beheld by a Australian media and businesses in a final dual or 3 years.
But it has usually been in new months that sellers are starting to feel a effects of companies perplexing to take a daigou indication into their possess hands, or cut a sellers out completely.
"The daigou indication hadn't unequivocally been beheld before, so there were not a lot of foe for a community," Ms Wang said.
"A lot of bigger players have come from Australia to set adult central business models to reinstate a daigou model, though a daigou need to ascent their models as good to be means to complete."
Ms Wang pronounced that while a trend towards businesses holding advantage of and squashing daigous out of their sales processes was creation a reselling communities nervous, it was also potentially damaging to businesses.
"Some of a brands have finished this unequivocally directly to a Chinese market, that means they've left no margins for daigou traders in Australia," she said.
"But there is risk to brands in doing this. If people's family and friends ask a daigou that code to buy, a daigou could contend don't buy this brand, and as we've seen, people unequivocally listen to them".
Sources tell news.com.au Australian health addition companies that have aggressively stretched into China are feeling a rage of a slighted daigou village who have stopped recommending their products.
Ms Wang pronounced it was critical for businesses to learn from daigous, and to work with them rather than opposite them.
"Brands that will be successful in a Chinese village will be a ones that say, 'okay daigou, can we work together?', and see their change as an opportunity," she said.
"At a finish of a day Chinese consumers listen to daigou many some-more than a traders of platforms in China."
She also endorsed daigou take notice of a increasing pressures on their businesses, and pronounced she hoped a village would turn some-more veteran and improved organised.

Sydney businessman Tim He spent around 3 years as a daigou before he motionless to join a large brands, and give adult his private offered trade for a legitimate sell business.
His association Kiwi Buy now operates 6 stores opposite Sydney offered Australian and New Zealand products, targeting Chinese tourists, and his online store distributes product to Chinese shoppers.
While he started off compelling internal products he bought from stores on WeChat and Alibaba's daigou channel Tao Bao, he fast realised there was a extent to how successful a spontaneous business indication could be.
"Because a daigou is only a person, like a solitary merchant in Australia, it's singular for a business," he told news.com.au.
"I did daigou for around 3 years and realised we couldn't get some-more customers, since a channel is only for your friends and people who trust you, so we crossed over to get some-more business."
Mr He pronounced he fast detected a advantages of a veteran operative attribute with a brands he was formerly reselling.
"We can do some-more activities with business and we can get some-more support from a manufacturer since brands wish to renovate a emporium to support their product more," he said.
He pronounced he has seen a pressures on a daigou village from businesses perplexing to retard them out, and recommends his "if we can't kick 'em, join 'em" strategy.

Daigous might be falling, and businesses jubilant in a marketplace control they are convalescent in their demise, though online sales personality Alibaba organisation is warning opposite restraint a daigou village out.
Speaking to a entertainment of daigous and retailers in Sydney this week, Alibaba's executive of business growth for Australia and New Zealand, John O'Loghlen, pronounced businesses indispensable to welcome daigous.
"Every patron we speak to, if they've been to China and they know China, they know a significance of a daigou community," he said.
"There are unequivocally large (fast-moving consumer goods) companies that have not left into China. They haven't been concerned with a opening of their Tao Bao store. They've stood behind and let a daigou village rise their products for them, and that's worked in some cases."
Mr O'Loghlen pronounced it was a idea of many companies, and for Alibaba, for daigou-driven brands to build adult to have their possess flagship stores, though there was still a place for daigou in their businesses.
"We're training a lot with a daigou community, and a clients wish to do that as well," he said.
Mr O'Loghlen also warned that a daigou village indispensable to turn improved organized if it was to survive.
He also pronounced there were some-more than few bad eggs in a village bringing down a repute of aloft peculiarity sellers.
While many brands are reluctant, Mr O'Loghlen pronounced a best proceed brazen for Australian businesses looking to enhance their Chinese patron bottom was to work productively with daigous, rather than opposite them.
As Ms Wang said: "At a impulse daigous are still a many critical source to suggest your product to a Chinese marketplace and they should not be lost about."

Doctor Oliver Sacks RIP
Letter he never responded to, written 24/10/2007
Dear Doctor Sacks
I have recently found your site. I have known of your research from the awakenings and from many years of research into neurological conditions myself.
In 1994 I made an astonishing discovery into the driving force behind circulation in trees and plants. I have identified a non living physical force that generates circulation.
The logic is somewhat simple, possibly too simple to be thought of much use, However, using the principles of this discovery, I have been testing it with the help of people who have an open mind, much like yourself, on a whole range of neurological conditions.
My discovery is in how evaporation from the respiratory tract, eyes, skin and sinus changes the density of the bodies fluids releasing tiny pulses of salts into the body fluids, where gravity pulls the denser fluids down the vertical tubes generating a positive pressure in front of the falling solutes and a negative pressure and applied tension behind the falling solutes that provides the return flow of fluids with a boost. The spent solutes are excreted in the urine after being filtered by the kidneys, filtered blood is then less dense so can be pulled back up towards the heart in the venous return.
I can hear you thinking then what is the hearts purpose. This flow system is responsible for the development of the pulsatile flow evident in embryology long before the heart has formed. I cannot look at an inanimate drawing in a textbook now without seeing how this flow system applies. It brings the drawings to life when one understands this beautifully simple yet powerful process.
I believe this knowledge will enable people in catatonic state to recover function.
Having applied the logic to the way we sleep and sit, and modifying posture so that the body is never placed flat against a mattress but kept on a slight five degree head up angle to allow this flow system to continue 24 hours a day 7 days a week has proved highly effective in helping to reverse conditions including Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury.
I have so much information to share with you doctor Sachs, I am hoping to stimulate enough interest to ask you if you would be so kind as to test my theory on some of your patients who are believed to be beyond help and who are contemplating risky surgery with little chance of success.
I have been wanting to talk with you about this discovery, but for some reason believed you had completely removed yourself from your research or had passed away. I am delighted to find that I was wrong on both counts.
I have absolutely no doubt that you will find this discovery as fascinating as I have and I believe emphatically that it can help your patients and friends as it has helped my family, friends and many people who I have not met.
My current research has led me to psoriasis, again using the same principles to show how skin lesions can vanish or vastly improve without drugs.
I look forward very much to your reply
Kind regards and a great deal of respect

Dear Professor Pentecost,
Further to my last correspondence I am delighted to inform you of the following observations, which are recorded by people who have simply raised the angle in which they sleep by six inches at the head end of their beds.
Lady aged 66 * symptoms severe loss of movement in spine, unable to move, lethargy, and considerable pain, insomnia, and feeling cold in bed. The lady recently visited my home to tell me of her complete recovery which she says
is a miracle, she wishes to make her recovery public. Her spouse who is 67 * symptoms problems with water-works, testicular pains, large weeping scar on left arm since he was ten which needs constant attention due to
rawness and weeping, aches and pains attributed to his age. •j; also has made a full recovery and feels ten years younger, his scar has developed new healthy skin and no longer requires attention. He also says its a miracle and wishes it to be made public.
Lady who was told of the observation on scar tissue informed me that a facial scar which has remained raised and visible since she was six has now almost vanished and was visible when she started the experiment. She has gained a half inch in height which suggests her spine has somehow straitened. My own scar on my right leg is now less visible.
A lady has informed me of an overall improvement of Peripheral vestibular disorder of the inner ear which affected her balance, and aches and pains in her spine. Her mother suffers from osteo porosis and told her that the problems in her spine were the same for her when she was told that she had the illness.
MS A middle aged male is showing signs of improvement from MS, His therapist at Torbay Hospital has commented that his upper body strength has improved to a point that he can now hold his upper torso erect. He can stand in a frame and drink a cup of tea at the same time. His skin has changed colour and some sensation has returned to his legs, he can now distinguish between warm and cold and can feel the ground beneath his feet.
Cerebral palsey
A young girl in Kent
has reported that her condition is improving and she feels a lot happier since she raised her bed ; early days yet.
My father has suffered from varicose ulcers for forty years, he had five ulcers and his skin he described as like plaster of paris. He also suffers from varicose veins and considerable pain. His ulcers have now healed, his veins are deflating and when his skin peels off now he has new healthy skin forming. All pain has gone.
The heart
A friend who has an artificial valve in his heart, noticed that his feet and hands have returned to a normal colour but even more astonishing he noticed that when he lays horizontally his heart beat becomes irregular. Yet when he lays at an angle his heart beat becomes stable and appears to be getting stronger. These are just a few examples but clearly indicate dramatic physiological changes.
With kind regards Andrew K Fletcher /
Subject : Multiple Sclerosis
A case which again is not directly linked, but relevant is that of Marion Carrol which was shown on BBC's Strange But True. Marion was suffering from an advanced stage of MS showing all of the symptoms for the advanced stages of this illness. Marion visited the Blessing of The Sick at Knock which is said to be the place of miracles in Ireland.
Knock is geographically elevated, and therefore relatively less humid than a lowland area or river valley. On her return from Knock Marion actually rose from the stretcher and walked and has now made a full recovery with no aches or pains in the last six years. Her GP believes that a miracle has occurred in Knock and Dr Diardmuid Murray (Knock Medical Bureau) is employed to try to give a medical explanation as to why this event could have occurred
. The Stretcher Which Marion was strapped to for a considerable length of time ,measured in days, Was elevated to an almost sitting position with a further inclusion of a sloping position for her legs. This meant that she was in a similar position to the lady mentioned earlier who recovered from the liver disorder.
I Believe that the combination of prolonged resting position, altitude, and reduction in humidity, was responsible for Marion's recovery and not the divine intervention at present is the accepted explanation, however the very fact that Marion spent the time in on the stretcher was a direct "result of her visiting the shrine and therefore the whole picture could be attributed to her visit to Knock.
Subject : Other observations
I have observed a general overall improvement of health in all who have taken pert in this experiment so far. Mainly in our ability to fight infections, colds & influenza. This must surely be attributed to a boosted metabolic rate. With the above comment in mind I would like to draw your attention to a recent program on AIDS in Africa. A group of people who appear to have immunity to the disease are being examined to try to determine why they have not been infected by the disease which in some cases has wiped out whole villages, including their immediate family. The interest in this group of people stems from their profession which is prostitution . Prostitution in what is now described as the AIDS Capital of The World is surely the most dangerous profession in the World. Yet these people do not get AIDS or HIV. Why not ?
What do we do while a prostitute is actively occupied by the nature of her profession, answer : We sleep. In addition to the fact that a prostitute in a developing country will probably have at least one child to look after during the daylight hours, it can be safely assumed that this group of people are less likely to spend a long time laying horizontal.
Natural or unnatural sleep ?
Is Sleeping Flat A Natural Process adopted by other species or are humans doing something different ?
If one gives a dog some bedding they proceed to gather it up under their chest which effectively raises the position of sleep. In the wild dogs dig out an earth which has sloping sides again facilitating an angled sleep.
Cows and sheep given a choice will always sleep on an angle facing uphill. I have recently visited Snowdonia National Park. During my journey I noticed that entire flocks of sheep were sleeping with their heads facing uphill despite the fact that there was ample level ground in the field. The same observations were made with cattle Alligators and crocodiles sleep facing up the river bank and I now believe that their position in relation to the direction of gravity facilitates an increase in metabolism giraffe don't/ can't sleep flat and spend most of their time on the hoof, fish, birds, lizards, frogs, toads and most mammals do not sleep flat when allowed choice. Even a snake raises itself before striking.
The question remains as to why humans have adopted the ritual of sleeping flat and more to the point does history tell us of a different attitude towards sleeping position ?
Experiment : To raise the angle of sleep by a minimum of six inches at the head end of the bed, which facilitates gravity running through the body from head to toe while sleeping.
Anticipated response to experiment was merely to see if any visible improvements to health could be achieved.
Subject: Varicose veins.
Three ladies who took part in the experiment reported that varicose veins on their legs had deflated and all pain from them had gone. It took four weeks to effectively deflate two out of the three conditions The third lady whose veins were considerably worse took several months to deflate.
I used a loop of soft walled tubing filled with water. A tiny amount of coloured salt water was added and the tube was then joined to create an enclosed circuit. The tubing was then elevated to lift the salt solution to the top of the tubing. The salt water represents the concentration which I believe occur as a result of the loss of moisture from the lungs and skin.
salt solution which I coloured began its journey down one side of the tube causing water to be pulled and pushed up the other side. As this occurs the downward flowing salt exerts an outward pressure on the tube. The upward flowing water of the other side exerted a visible negative pressure within causing the tube to deflate. This gives an explanation for the deflation of the varicose veins.
Subject : paralysis
Participant of sixty years mentioned above as the third lady. Full Symptoms. Loss of movement in the toes and ankle of left leg, loss of sensation and severe swelling of the affected limb for over five years. Hands shaking badly when held out, and severe varicose veins. Cold feet in bed (bad circulation). Observation
Four weeks after the start date, I received a call to tell me that she could now move her toes and ankle. Her legs and feet feel warm while in bed. After four months I visited her to find that her veins had disappeared except for one which runs over her knee. The swelling had gone and the sensation had returned to her leg. But even more astonishing her hands no longer shook.
She admitted that her bed had been placed flat for a few weeks only to find that her symptoms started to reappear. Needless to say she will not be laying flat again ^Her husband who is sixty five, Symptoms : Deafness due to childhood infection, back ache, arthritis.
Five weeks into the experiment complained about pain in the ears. Went to GP who could not offer an explanation. Four months into experiment, complained about an increased level of traffic noise outside their home, particularly police sirens ? Comment Its too early to make any comment but I am watching this reaction with interest.
Subject : Muscles
Almost all participants have recorded something happening to their muscles. In particular myself my wife and two boys ages fourteen and fifteen have observed that our muscles appear to be responding in a way that one usually attributes to weight training. More an awareness than an ache. Muscles appear to be growing and increasing in firmness.
Subject : Spine
Several participants have reported a side effect which causes an ache in the centre of the spine which gradually moves into the neck causing stiffness and finally disappears after a week or so.
Consent Comment There is obviously some activity in the central nervous system and spine. Have now decided to include a patient with a spinal injury who lost the use of his legs after a motorcycle accident.

Dear Mr Fletcher,
I am pleased to see that some of the patients treated improved.
For our purposes, however, this account cannot be accepted as proof of efficacy. Testing new treatments in MS is a very difficult business because of the day-to-day variability of the disease.
With best wishes. Yours sincerely,

We may be looking at a simple method of reversing short-term memory loss.
Dear Terry
Your books rely on other people reading them. My son, being someone who is an avid fan, first drew my attention to you as an author.
But reading books is not the reason for my letter today.
This letter is to ask you to read about my work on reversal of neurological conditions. Hearing you on the radio again relaying thoughts and observations on Alzheimer's and how it is affecting your life and career, I would like to help you fight back and regain control of your memory.
Brief Introduction to history of a fascinating discovery in circulation.
In 1994, I began researching circulation in trees and plants to find out how they used salts from the soils and sugars produced by the leaves. As an engineer and scientist by nature with an enquiring lateral line of thought, I pulled the literature to bits, realising it to be wholly inadequate. Reassembled it in a coherent simplified explanation that explains how trees use gravity in order to lift water to great heights in a simple flow and return system driven by evaporation at the leaves (currently & erroneously believed to be an unavoidable loss that serves little purpose) Ironically, the same mistake has been made in human physiology.
Far from it being of little purpose, evaporation from the leaves of trees and indeed the respiratory tract turns out to be very important.
Evaporated water does not contain dissolved mineral salts and sugars. Yet the liquid it dissolves from does contain salts and sugars, making evaporation very important in concentrating these dissolved solutes making them denser and heavier than surrounding fluids, triggering a gravity driven flow in the direction of the ground. If you are upright and mobile, the circulation inside the vessels becomes positively influenced and providing our vessels are inline with the direction of gravity running from head to toe both the central and peripheral nervous system is optimised for repairing itself and maintaining order.
When we sleep flat on a bed, we are ignorant to the fact that gravity maintains our vital functions. This is precisely why a person with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's begin to notice changes first thing in the morning with a progression towards degeneration of the body and it's functions most of us take for granted.
So what is the purpose of this letter to you?
Since the end of 1994. I have been working alone testing and retesting this theory by introducing a slightly inclined bed. So that it slopes down from head to toe at an angle of five degrees to the horizontal. This usually requires the head end of the bed to be raised by 6 inches or 15 centimetres. More if the bed is longer than 6'-3"
The thread below shows how the theory stands up against current literature with circulation, oedema (fluid retention) and varicose veins. Varicose veins being the first visible observation of changes indicating this theory is undoubtedly correct.
To see the changes that can be achieved with conditions including spinal cord injury, the video on youtube shows its effects clearly, yet even this has been ignored by the medical profession.
There are other video's on my youtube account that show this powerful flow and return circulation system and well worth viewing.
The point this letter is trying to make to you is that simply tilting your bed may arrest your Alzheimer's and may reverse your current memory impairment, which in your own words this morning on Radio 4 happens in the morning while trying to determine what it is you are trying to do.
During many years researching multiple sclerosis, two people in a group of 14 who have long term progressive ms, reported improved short term memory. Not something we were looking for at the time, but it has certainly opened a few doors for research. One account from an elderly lady in Teignmouth relayed that she would normally walk to the door to do something but try as she may, she could not remember what it was. Now she walks to the door and still forgets but after a minute or so can recall what she was trying to do. While this is not a person with Alzheimer's, it is a person with a memory problem lacking further diagnosis.
What am I after?
I have helped many thousands of people over the years and have not received financial reward and indeed have not asked for financial reward. I don't intend to ask you for it now either, so if you have assumed this is another begging letter please think again.
What I would hope to achieve by helping you to fight your illness is for you to help others to learn about this simple non-invasive free therapy and progress it towards becoming part of our mainstream arsenal against disease and injury.
Eventually leading to a small controlled study monitored by doctors and nurses, conducted in a home environment, influenced by anecdotal evidence from yourself and others, forcing it to take place.
How does this sound to you Terry?
Kind regards

All the talk of bridge-building, and all the promises that this would be an encounter of friendship, dissipated before a ball had even been kicked.
As the Serbian national anthem rang out around the Maksimir Stadium, a tremendous din of boos was augmented with chants of "Vukovar! Vukovar!", referencing the Croatian city that suffered shelling and massacres at the hands of Serb forces during the Croatian War of Independence.
Giant flags that stretched around all four sides of the stadium were unveiled, bearing the slogan: "Through the rough times and through angry fights we defended our homes with honour. The ones who defended our land didn't die in vain. Here in our land our flag is flying."
Many footballing encounters come adorned with hyperbolic epithets about their immense significance beyond the pitch. In few cases are the claims so justified as with this game in Europe's Group A, in which Wales and Scotland are also drawn.
A hoarding at the side of the pitch informed spectators that they were watching a 2014 Fifa World Cup Brazil Qualifier. But this was so much more than that.
Dominating both the news and sports pages in Croatia and Serbia for the past few weeks, this was a settling of scores of epic proportions, both between two nations who two decades ago were at war, and between two managers who have their own, bitter personal history. As the game kicked off, one stand launched into a rousing "Kill! Kill", to be answered by the other side of the ground: "The Serbs!"
Away fans had been banned from the stadium to prevent violence, and there was a heavy police presence in both Belgrade and Zagreb as the two countries came to a halt for two hours to watch the game.
A hulking concrete structure whose stands are mismatched in size and perforated with vast gaps, the Maksimir is not designed to create a cauldron of intimidation, but this did not put off the Croatia fans, who yelled, shrieked and bellowed to create extraordinary waves of noise to roar their team on in the first meeting with Serbia in its current form. To the probable relief of the city's police, the Croatian side were in full control of the game from the 22nd minute, when they took the lead after Mario Mandzukic tapped in a cross from Ivica Olic.
The Croats doubled their lead after Olic turned in a wonderful free-kick whipped into the box by Darijo Srna.
The Serbian team, which featured Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic and Aleksandar Kolarov of Manchester City but was largely made up of inexperienced young players, appeared overawed by the occasion and the atmosphere and never really looked liked getting back into the game.
It was 78 minutes into the match before the Serbs had their first real chance, with Stipe Pletikosa parrying an effort from Dusan Tadic, and following up with a save from Filip Dordevic, who should have scored.
The chance missed, Croatia were able to sit back and soak up the pressure as the excitement on the pitch, if not in the stands, fizzled out.
In the run-up to the match both sides had tried to diffuse the tension between two nations with a history not just of war but also mistrust
The two managers have their own personal, dark history. Serbia's Sinisa Mihajlovic and Croatia's Igor Stimac clashed as players during a 1991 encounter between Hajduk Split and Red Star Belgrade as the war was breaking out. Both ended up being sent off after an unsavoury trade of insults that ended with Mihajlovic saying years later that Stimac remained the "one man I could strangle with my bare hands".
In the end, though, last night's events on the pitch could not live up to the passions swirling in both Balkan countries. The game was no classic, but it was also not marred by violence or aggression. Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir, responsible for the soft red card against Manchester United's Nani during their Champions League clash with Real Madrid, was not required to make any difficult decisions. At the final whistle, there was even what appeared to be a heartfelt hug between Stimac and Mihajlovic, perhaps a sign that football could eventually serve as a conciliatory force.
The Croatian players embarked on a victory lap around the pitch to the adoring cheers of fans who celebrated victory over the old enemy, as well as what looks like a certain path to the World Cup in Brazil next year. For Serbia, the road to Brazil is all but over, but that will be a secondary concern if they can beat Croatia in the return fixture, on 6 September in Belgrade.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
First Hotel Aalborg
Rendsburggade 5, 9000 Aalborg, North Jutland
0.4 mi from
Good breakfast Room was 100% "seventies" angst (=soviet suburb style) and painting the walls white, changing textiles black and adding paper leaflets saying "keep smiling" is a bad joke to cover for the lack of style and comfort. No fridge, no kettle... Parking was very limited and made worse by the fact that most cars on the small lot had no required permit, leaving no space for the paying visitors with permits. Staff did not speak very good english. Different foods ran out on breakfast on both days (juice, coffee, milk, fruit... you name it!). The breakfast room was noisy and crowded - the buffet was ill organized.
Friendly staff, nice room the floor in my room was dirty
Relatively value for money. Very serviceminded staff.
I often stayed at this hotel few years ago and i liked it much. I did not like cleanliness and cold room during my last visit. People I know had the same experience regarding dirty rooms veared carpets, etc.
Breakfast, Internet Access. No evening meal, building works nearby - obviously this will finish eventually.
The hotel has a very good location old hotel
Location (albeit surrounded by building works). Large room. Good breakfast. Nice view of the harbour. Free parking. Decor of room very old and in need of updating. Bar closed early or not open at all.
Our first night in Danmark was not so nice. One bed was missing. Parking ???,
Nothing in particular. Too much building work and early morning noise from workers and machines.
Good location of hotel. Bathroom outdated. Bed should be renewed, i.e. a new topmatress. Worn out carpet.
Staff very good and friendly. very close to water, shops, and all the sights of the old town. Rooms well designed and very well set out, and with a window that opens for a bit of fresh air and gull calls. Not at all.
The location is excellent, just in the city center but still in a quiet area. All shops are within a few meters walk,
The room and the toilet were not properly cleaned.
The location is good, the price too The hotel was still under construction (heavy works!) so it was dirty everywhere and walls&floors had unfinished look, giving an overall unpleasant experience. The rooms are miniature - even most airplanes have bigger lavatories!
Location, cleanness, basic needed facilities, friendly staff. It was ok for one night stay. Still the price might be lower for such a basic hotel room. It was not easy to find an exit from the corridor of the room floor, I was not only one who walked long corridors around to find the exit door. There was only tea, no coffee in the room. One light was installed wrongly, so it was on so long the door card/key was inserted. But these are just small things, not bad stay at all.
Location is fantastic, right next to the town center of Aalborg and the rooms were basic but comfortable. Yes, On booking my room online I was given the impression that the Hotel provided parking, which was one of the reasons for my choice. How ever on checking in I was told by the uninterested receptionist that I could park in the Shopping mall car park. I asked how much it would be for the night, she said "I don't know". When asked if she would find out, she said "no"! very disappointing! so if you intend to drive to the hotel then be prepared to pay 150 euros per day for parking!
The building is very large, yet the rooms are ridiculously small - so there are quite a lot of tiny rooms, and the occupancey, at least during my stay, was very low. I doubt if they can ever get full occupancy in all these rooms. So why not divide this new complex into fewer but larger rooms??
It's near to the city center, so I can vistit the city easily. I think the bed in the room is small.
Absolutely the best budget hotel I have ever stayed in. It is perfect for business people, has free internet, good desk to work at and free coffe and tea in the room. Very central location for shopping and restaurants. Why pay more than the double to stay at Scandic or other hotels ?
The parking machine below the building would not accept our parking ticket nor our credit card. For a whole hour we were held prisoners not able to get out. Several kind Danes tried to help us but in vain. Finally a man who works with the parking area was called from his homeand he was able to get us out.Even if we had been able to get our car out immediately it would have been almost impossible to get back to the Cabinn desk for a 1/2 price refund. We now look back on that experience as a way to remember Aalborg. And yes, we know that the Cabinn location is not a permanent one. We hope to return some day.
Good value for money. The room was clean and I had no issues during my stay at all. Good heating. Decent internet for free. Water pressure in the shower was somewhat on a lower side (nothing critical, but still not the best). Location is convenient (close to the city center, walkable all around, easy getting to bus and train terminals) - but right now it's right next to huge construction (Nordkraft, new waterfront, Opera), and starting sometime after 6 AM it becomes noisy. Go there in three years though, it'll be a prime place to stay.
Friendly staff, efficient check in and check out. Hotel is right next door to an industrial complex. The decor is quite dark and 1960's. Thee are over 100 rooms but only 1 elevator which only takes maximum 4 people. Single room was very small and toilet and shower could have been cleaner (the toilet was not clean and had not been flushed when I arrived). The cost was quite high for what is really a low budget mediocre establishment and I would not stay there again.
friendly stuff, nice price
Hotel and staff ok, price ok, value for money Everything ok
Location is pretty good.. Close to the city centre and the high way.. The bathroom facilities, (poor shower)
Basic but clean. Showers in 2 of the 3 rooms where not very good.
big room, comfortable bed, free wifi. poor shower
Rooms are confortable, and breakfast is good. Most of the personal is very nice. The bathroom is a little too small. Internet is free, but in reception you must remind them (be careful, some people in reception try to charge you!!)
absence of even a shower cubicle, only a slot in the floor; all information within the hotel was on danish
free wifi, walking distance to centre very basic room, small bathroom
