Nice small place. From outside it's not much but rooms and back garden area are very nice. Restaurant was good and serve was excellent.

Thoroughly enjoyed a recent 2nd overnight visit. Everything during our stay was excellent and we were so pleased to see the addition of the new bar area. Great gathering place when traveling with friends. Highly recommend this B&B.

This B&B (more like an Inn) is quite nice while a bit remote. The room price is a bit high for its remoteness and the price for dinner is also high (although we did not eat dinner there). The staff is very friendly. The TV setup in our room (#5) was awkward as one would have to sit on the bed sideways to view the TV. The one main complaint we had was the pillows which were cheap foam and VERY firm pillows. Our necks still are sore. One would think that an Inn as expensive as this one is would have nice down pillows. We stayed at a B&B in Frederick, MD that was half the price and much nicer. I think at this Inn they are relying on their past reputation. They have done some nice upgrades to the bar and the morning breakfast was VERY nice.

Wonderful rooms and outstanding meals! A way to turn off/block the outside light would have been nice. No tissues in the room may have been an oversight.
Risposta del proprietario
Thank you for your review. We apologize a box of tissues was not to be found in your room upon arrival. For future stays, please alert a staff member and we would be happy to deliver anything needed to your room. All of our rooms feature traditional Provencal fabric curtains to block out light and noise for both windows and doors. Garden pathway and porch lights outside remain on overnight for the safety of our guests.

We spent two memorable nights at this lovely inn in Virginia horse country in late September 2016. Everything about L'Auberge Provencal was delightful; the room with sizable porch, the sitting room, the steam shower, all the amenities were perfect. Breakfast was substantial and delicious and I can't say enough about both dinners; the first in the new bar/lounge, bistro style, and the second was one of the best if the not the best tasting menu we have very experienced. Staff were gracious, helpful and quick to respond when needed. We will most definitely be back.

I booked a room at L'Auberge Provencale to get away from the job and DC for a little while, and also to do some writing. When Celeste found out, she gave me a free upgrade to a larger, quieter room -- how thoughtful! The place is lovely and peaceful, the room was very comfortable, the garden in front of my windows was a delight to see. The food and wine was excellent and I was interested to see that the State Arboretum was just a few miles away, so I walked through their herb garden and some of the tree plantations. (Too hot to do much more walking -- the place is 600 acres -- but there is a driving trail that takes you all around the property.). Best of all I got a lot of writing done. I will definitely be back!

We had a birthday celebration at l'Auberge Provencal and decided to really celebrate by spending the night at their Villa! We were not disappointed! The tasting menu was superb, and our suite at the Villa even better! We had a truly wonderful evening in a charming place!

Q. Must a company pay for the cost of providing and maintaining workers' uniforms?
A. Under California law, employers that require nonexempt employees to wear specific uniforms as a condition of employment must provide the uniform and pay for any upkeep. The requirement applies without regard to the amount of the worker's wages.
As an alternative, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement allows employers to pay each affected employee a weekly maintenance allowance of one hour's pay at the state minimum-wage rate (currently $7.50 an hour) in lieu of maintaining the uniform. However, employers may only adopt this approach if one hour's pay is a "realistic" estimate of the time involved in maintaining the uniform.
California law defines "uniform" as including apparel and accessories of distinctive design or color. If the uniform is one that is "generally usable in the employees' occupation" (such as black and white uniforms of unspecified design worn by a restaurant's wait staff or a nurse's white uniform), an employer need not pay for the uniform.
Further, employers may require employees to maintain uniforms made of fabrics that require minimal care (such as those that could be cleaned in a washing machine). However, if cleaning the uniform includes ironing or dry cleaning, the employer must maintain or pay for the maintenance.

23 Sandy Gallery "BUILT" Trunk Show
BAG Lecture
May 15, 2017 | 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
23 Sandy Gallery is pleased to present BUILT, an international juried exhibition of book and paper art examining the relationship between contemporary book art practices and architecture, engineering, landscape and construction as form, function and structure. Book artists took this opportunity to re-image the ways we as designers, of either books or buildings can inhabit and shape the world around us. Our disciplines have a natural synergy. After all, books and buildings are both kinetic, sequential, structural and time based. BUILT examines the relationship between the built and the book.
For this special hands-on Book Arts Guild event, Laura Russell will display a selection of books from BUILT, plus a few special books from regular gallery inventory. She will talk about the process of curating the exhibition and share a few stories behind the works before opening the evening up to a hands-on viewing of the books.
A full online catalog for BUILT can be found here: http://23sandy.com/works/built
23 Sandy Gallery is a fine art gallery in Portland, OR, representing local and national artists working in contemporary book and paper arts. The gallery is owned by Laura Russell, a book artist and photographer, who travels several times each year to spread the gospel of book arts. She lectures frequently to book art groups. You can read more about Laura and her own work at www.laurarussell.com, and the gallery at www.23Sandy.com

|Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie had already known about the film industry when she was very young because her father and mother were both actors. Her father was Jon Voight, and her mother was Marcheline Bertrand. They lived together in Los Angeles, California. She was destined to become an actress, and she did by following in the steps of her parents.
Jolie started actively studying acting when she was 11 at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. During this same time, she was also taking film classes at New York University. After studying for a few years and working with a theater group, Jolie began modeling and doing music videos when she was 16. It was easy for her to jump start her modeling career because she has a unique appearance.
|Angelina Jolie
Throughout the 90's, Jolie spent a lot of her time working with smaller parts but it was all worth it when she got her big break in 1999. This was when she obtained a lead role in The Bone Collector with Denzel Washington. Shortly after that, she went on to make Girl, Interrupted with Winona Ryder.
|Angelina Jolie
After she had done a couple of major movies, and a few made for television movies, Jolie began to receive many different kinds of awards for her acting. At this point, she had already won a Golden Globe award, and Emmy nomination, and an Oscar. Jolie had hit the big time and was doing very well in her career.
When she went to Cambodia to film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, she had the opportunity to see the poverty that was in that country. She then decided that she was going to use the money that she had been making from acting to start helping out countries that are in poverty. She decided that she would put a third of the money that she made as an actress towards charity.
|Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, happy family.
In 2005, she costarred in Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Brad Pitt. He was married to Jennifer Anniston at the time, so there were rumors going around that Jolie and Pitt were having an affair. This was not true; however, Pitt did end up divorcing his wife, and soon after started dating Jolie.

Actor Seo Kang Jun pulls off both sexy and pure for 'InStyle' pictorial
Actor Seo Kang Jun showcased both sexy and pure in 'InStyle'!
The actor is seen exuding sexy masculinity casually dressed in a crisp, black satin suit while exposing his toned upper body. On the other hand, he also encompasses the innocent, dashing man dressed in pure white while shading the light from his eyes. He completes the look with a wink and his pouty lips.
In a follow up interview, the actor shared,"During my hiatus, I took Pilates and started weight training everyday. Physique wise, I am the type not to form muscles very well on my body, and so I thought I had to work harder than other people. Also, to increase my muscle mass I began eating foods that were high in calories and increased my meal intake to having five meals a day. But I had a hard time because I have a very picky taste palette."

More travel in the past few months, including a terrific trip to the US which, although only a couple of weeks ago, feels like a year ago already! It was meetings in New York then concerts in San Francisco and Washington DC (in that order...literally no sense to it, but at least the airmiles were good) Then it was back to London for some concerts, notably the Mute 'Short Circuit' Festival, which saw the launch of the much-ballyhooed-about 10" vinyl of Max Richter / Johann Johannsson solo cello goodness. Speaking of which, it's available on iTunes right now, and I'd love to know what you think. I'm really a rather happy bunny with it all.
Then, but a few zippy days later, it was all change and time to premiere Gabriel Prokofiev's new Suite Cello and 8 Loudspeakers.
There are some pics from soundcheck, neatly borrowed from the LSO.
There were a few things with this that made it high on the "tiring but massively rewarding" list, namely having to track, edit and mix all the parts in, for one reason or another, the week before heading to the US (which also included recording some solo stuff for Scott Walker's new ballet score at the Royal Ballet), but really, I was fascinated by the review in The Arts Desk, which some of you may or may not have seen. I mean, yes, it was a late finish for a school night, but I do feel that The Point of The Piece was somewhat missed. Perhaps it's in the name, perhaps I'm reading too much into The Title, but it's written for 1 Live Cello and 8 Loudspeakers, and I think listening to it suggests it's all about this glorious structural, rhythmic, mechanical motion. I don't, as it happens, think it would have been better with 9 cellists, and was not done as a solo piece for budget reasons as is curiously implied. A lot of Steve Reich's music (as was heard at the glorious Barbican Reichathon a few weekends back) is written explicitly for track because that is the sound he wants to achieve. As Gabriel pointed out in the same introductions that are mentioned, many of the sounds are designed to replicate grime, dance and urban music. Are we suggesting that, but for budgets, we'd be seeing nice little three piece bands springing up in clubs instead of DJs? No.
To go ultra positive for a moment, do we all know LSO St Luke's? It's absolutely my favourite venue right now, just a delight. Everyone was just too helpful and the acoustic is wondrous.
Anyway. I'm playing Gabriel's suite a couple of more times in the coming months, at the Spitalfields Festival in June, Latitude Festival in July and a few other bits to be announced nearer the time, so if you missed it this time around, do pop along!
This is most likely the last blog post before the new site design goes live! Isn't that exciting, boys and girls? It's so nearly June/July, and acutely aware this represents a lot of having to make sense of a number of different topics. I'm trying to resolve a guest article I'm writing for elsewhere, tidying some slides for a presentation I'm giving in July (a related, if tangental note: I had no idea the word restauranteur was incorrect, and is in fact restaurateur with no 'N') and working on some new concert programmes for the later months. Funnntimes ahead! Also, If you didn't see it somewhere else, I'm playing at The Apple Store, Covent Garden on June 9th - would be great to see you there!

HEDGEHOG CRISIS: Thousands of famished youngsters overloading animal rescue centres
THOUSANDS of famished baby hedgehogs are overloading animal rescue centres as freezing temperatures bite.
The hungry youngsters are finding it tough fattening up in the wild for winter hibernation
The hungry youngsters are finding it tough fattening up in the wild for winter hibernation with natural food supplies dwindling fast.
As huge numbers of the spiny mammals are taken into care, rescue centres say the cold conditions make it impossible to release those animals they have nursed back to fighting weight and are now witnessing a log jam.
The RSPCA says its centres are witnessing as many hedgehogs arrive in a week as they normally see throughout an entire month.
At present, there are more than 400 hedgehogs being cared for at the charity's four main wildlife centres.
At the famous Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire, staff have put out an urgent appeal for supplies of bedding and tinned dog food for the 470-plug hedgehogs in its care.
Hedgehog rescuers always find late autumn a busy time as late-born animals struggle to pile on enough fat to last them through their winter hibernation.
Thousands of famished baby hedgehogs are overloading animal rescue centres
If a hedgehog is out in the daytime there is probably something wrong as they are usually nocturnal
When the normally nocturnal creatures start turning up in neighbourhoods during the day they become susceptible to being attacked by other animals or getting run over by vehicles.
Today, the RSPCA put out an appeal, asking the public to keep an eye on any animal they come across to see if it needs to be admitted for care.
RSPCA head of wildlife Adam Grogan said: "We are always busy with the number of hedgehogs being admitted to our centres at this time of year but this year has been busier than usual. We've had a real seasonal surge.
The RSPCA says its centres are witnessing as many hedgehogs arrive in a week
"All of our four wildlife centres have been inundated with these prickly creatures and our staff are working hard to look after them.
"If a hedgehog is out in the daytime there is probably something wrong as they are usually nocturnal. The ones that would cause us most concern would be very young hedgehogs out on their own that are not big enough to survive hibernation.
"Hedgehogs need plenty of fat reserves to see them through the winter as they hibernate so any that are not up to a good size would be a concern.
"With the sudden cold snap, we are unable to release the ones we have in our care back to the wild for the time being but as soon as they are up to a good weight, the weather improves and we feel they will be able to fend for themselves we will be returning them to the wild where they belong."
Last year, the People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) and The British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) launched a joint, 10-year conservation strategy for a species that had been voted the nation's favourite wild animal.
From Beatrix Potter's Mrs Tiggy-Winkle to the video gamer's Sonic the Hedgehog, the small, hibernating creature, originally known as the urchin, is much-loved but under serious threat with its rural population declining by a half and a third in our towns and cities.
Hedgehog rescuers always find late autumn a busy time
Far fewer than a million now snort their way through hedgerows and garden borders. Wherever the creature turns, it faces adversity.
The loss of habitat and intensive farming in rural areas, along with tidy, fenced-in gardens, are just some of the threats contributing to the demise of hedgehogs.
The British Hedgehog Preservation Society says if people are concerned about a hedgehog they should pick it up using gardening gloves, take indoors and put it in a high-sided cardboard box with a towel or fleece to hide under.
The charity said: "Fill a hot water bottle so that when it is wrapped in a towel there is a nice gentle heat coming through and put that in the bottom of the box with the hedgehog, ensuring it has room to get off the bottle and making sure the bottle is kept warm as if it is allowed to go cold it will do more harm than good.
"Put the box somewhere quiet, offer meaty cat or dog food and fresh water then call us as soon as possible."
At present, there are more than 400 hedgehogs being cared for
The BHPS number is 01584 890 801. It can provide further advice as well as numbers of local contacts.

Small, hard to find hotel conveniently located near the beach in Nice. My girlfriend and I only stayed for a night, but the accommodations were pretty good. There was a mini-fridge!!! Not something you would expect lol, but it was great to keep cold water, drinks, olives, etc. Location is great as it is about a 20 minute beautiful and scenic drive to Monaco (highly recommended).
The only negative (and this is could be a deal breaker), there is NO parking and the guy at the front desk is not very helpful. We had a rental car and had to park about 4 blocks away from the hotel.
Although the location was great, I probably wouldn't stay here again.

Cape Town: The International Cricket Councils business arm, the IDI Ltd, which is conducting World Cup 2003, has deemed that four players two from each of the declared XIIs will be tested for possible drug abuse after every match.
According to a copy of the procedure for Doping Control, made available to The Telegraph, the quartet (plus two reserves) will be drawn by lots. Significantly, the rival managers will do the picking for the opponent team.
The procedure, which is new to cricket, reads:
1. Doping Control Officers (DCOs) report 90 minutes before the match to organise the draw.
2. DCOs to notify IDI Event Co-ordinators that they are on site.
3. One hour before the match, the IDI Event Co-ordinator will accompany the assigned DCO to the dressing rooms where the team managers shall provide the Co-ordinator with the team sheet.
4. The DCO and the team managers will make their way to the Doping Control Room (DCR), located close to the players area, and the draw will be conducted to identify the players to be tested. The Event Assistant will take the team sheet and make a photocopy to return to the DCO after the draw.
5. One of the match officials t be at the draw to ensure its integrity the Event Co-ordinator to fetch the Fourth Umpire from the match officials room to assist in this process.
6. The Lead DCO and one of the assistant DCOs will oversee the draw.
7. Neither the Event Co-ordinator nor the Event Assistant will be present during the draw.
8. The Event Co-ordinator will take no part in the testing procedures.
9. Team managers/representatives to verify that the players on the team sheet are the players selected.
10. The nominated 12 players for the match, by each team, will be entered in the draw. The cards will be numbered according to the players selected by the team management 1 to 12 as indicated on the team sheet.
11. The Lead DCO will verify with the team managers that all the numbers of the players on the team sheet are available, by displaying each set of cards, to the respective managers.
12. Two sets of cards will be made available and each team manager/representative will have the opportunity to draw the players for the opposing team. Two players plus one reserve will be drawn. The third card, drawn by each of the managers, will be labelled with an R. Each of the managers as well as the Fourth Umpire will sign the cards drawn on the reverse side.
13. Once the draw has been completed, the managers will be allowed to leave the DCR and the cards inverted to expose the numbers drawn. The Lead DCO and the Fourth Umpire will relate the numbers drawn with the programme/team sheet to check which players have been drawn to undergo the drug test. Once confirmed, the names will be documented on a competitor selection form by the Lead DCO. The Lead DCO and the Fourth Umpire will sign that form. Only the DCOs and the Fourth Umpire will know the names of the selected players.
14. At the end of the match, the DCO will notify the team managers of the identified players and then, immediately, the players themselves. The players will have one hour to present themselves at the DCR for testing. During this time, they will be free to attend any post-match commitments, but will always be accompanied (albeit discreetly) by DCOs, including inside the dressing rooms. All team managers and the Anti-Corruption Unit have been made aware of the protocols.
15. Once the players have been notified by the DCOs, they should report to the DCR where they have to wait until they are ready to pass a sample. Once the player has been notified, the DCO must be allowed access to all the areas that the player will be moving in.
16. The test will proceed when the players are ready to pass urine.
While nothing has been left to chance, it wont surprise if the players arent amused by the shadowing bit.

Discussion in 'Entertainment' started by violator, Jun 22, 2006.
dc's drumset on lateralus = amazing...
too many songs on aenima sound muddy...
I liked the murky feel to aenima. Gave it a darker edge, which really enhanced the album, IMO.
All of Tool's albums are a little dark to me.
Each to their own.
Nothing beats coming home from the club, (or a long day at work), putting on the headphones and cranking some TOOL. Close your eyes, and just drift away!
oh man, Aenima > Lateralus hands down any given day.
A few reasons:
- Song structure.
- Lyric content/subject matter.
- It really does have a darker element.
I was a big fan of Undertow as well... I think Undertow is even better than Lateralus. Lateralus just has that certain element of selling out, or over-producing I guess.
Anyone heard the whole new album, and anyone want to give a review??
Because they made a album with better recording quality, that makes them sell-outs? Not really. I'm pretty sure they weren't thinking about selling out on Lateralus when they wrote the 8+ minute "The Grudge", or the companion tracks "Parabol" and "Parabola." Each Tool album has a different theme, and the mood of the music adjusts accordingly. Don't fault them just because they had more freedom on the third record, as well as an opportunity to make an album with a bigger budget. They're a PROG-ROCK band, which in these days, is about the farthest you can get from selling out. When they're writing 4 minute verse-chorus-verse songs about ex-girlfriends, then you can tell me that they've sold out.
That being said, 10,000 Days is a great album. It takes a few listens, but it's fantastic. Has the same production quality as Lateralus (so you might think they've sold out again ), and features multiple 9+ minute songs. Somewhat of a stripped-down sound when compared to its predecessors, which gives way to a raw feel on some of the tracks (see "Jambi" and "The Pot"). Overall, I would argue that it is the most cohesive Tool effort to date. A great album by any standard.
ok just to clarify, I had retracted and said that it was maybe just more over-produced, and thus more fakish. Just not the same ole' Tool sound.
I'm a HUGE fan of Tool, so don't get me wrong. Maynard Keenan is one of my idols as a musician, myself. I even liked what he did with A Perfect Circle, just because the lyric content was awesome, and respectively this was a different band altogether, therefore deserving of it's own separate opinion. Lateralus was kind of just Maynards prerequisite to A Perfect Circle in my opinion, because it's pretty closely related in that 'over-produced' respect.
Edit: oh and when Maynard signed to that label, he signed for 6 albums... 4 now for Tool, 2 for A Perfect Circle, so I wonder what he's going to do next!!
I agree with you with respect to your APC comments. It's great to see the band branching out in different directions. Although they've kept their "trademark" sound throughout the years, the little subtleties that are unique from album to album have really shown the overall progression of the band (and its members) as a whole (i.e. percussion options, timing signatures). I liked Mer De Noms, LOVED Thirteenth Step (I don't count Emotive as a true album). Even though I heard they're on a hiatus currently, it will be exciting to see what they come out with next.

User review on Nissan Terrano written by Ajay Dhingra on 22 June 2015
Ajay Dhingra's review on Nissan Terrano XL D THP
Year of Manufacture : 2015 | Driven no. of Kms. : 330
- Pros: Only the trendy looks and color
- Cons: Poor body strength and mileage
This model is a very disappointing one from Nissan. Nissan is not improving in terms of its performance. Only the fascinating colors and attractive designs are the pro of this model. There are countless flaws, which you can experience with time. This car is not very acceptable in the market. It has poor audio system and interior space. Cooling is just average. Nothing great has been provided at this price.

God's Valentine To Us
According to the Greeting Card Association, 25% of all cards sent each year are "valentines" – you know, those usually red, printed expressions of affection exchanged by both adults and children every February 14.
While this modern-day custom became popular in the United States in the 1800s, it took hold earlier than that in England. And historians say it may have begun in the Roman Empire when a cleric named Valentine refused to renounce his faith in Christ and was put to death under the emperor Claudius.
If that's accurate, he laid down his life not for romantic, passionate love but for the love of God. Whatever the actual origin of the day, dying for the sake of love is precisely what Christ Himself did when He came to this earth. In fact, God's "valentine" to us is the empty cross of His resurrected Son, our Redeemer.
"For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He even gave up His only begotten, unique Son, so that whoever believes in, trusts in, clings to, relies on Him shall not perish –come to destruction, be lost — but have eternal, everlasting life." (John 3:16)
This Good News is what…
…our chaplains represent in their faithful, daily care for employees in workplaces across our nation.
…our chaplains share in the context of the trusting, permission-based relationships they develop day in and day out with employees and their family members.
…transforms all who turn from their sins and place their faith in Christ for forgiveness and salvation.
At this very moment, somewhere across our land, one of our chaplains is listening to and caring for someone who is hurting, confused, or searching. Because our chaplain is present and engaged with that individual on Christ's behalf, despair doesn't have to be the end of that person's story – they can personally experience and know REAL HOPE.
By your partnership with us – through prayer, by helping to open doors for ministry in workplaces, and with your financial support – you have a vital part in giving "valentines" to others 24/7/366 so they will know that God loves them and offers them REAL LIFE through Christ.
THANK YOU for joining with us in this strategic outreach to the greatest mission field in America, the workplace. Please continue to pray for our chaplains and our work, and let us know how we can pray for you.
Preston Parrish, CEO

The race for who would succeed David Cameron as the U.K. Prime Minister was narrowed to two names on Thursday, June 7 with the emergence of Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom.
The two women emerged after a vote eliminated the Secretary of State Justice Michael Gove as May finished ahead of Leadsom with 199 votes to 84.
Cameron had announced his resignation after failing in his bid for Britain to vote "remain" in the June 23 referendum that asked voters whether the U.K. should stay in the European Union.
The final vote is scheduled for September 9, when members of the 150,000-strong Conservative Party will decide and whoever wins will become the U.K.'s second female prime minister. Margaret Thatcher was the first in 1979.
May, 59, who has served as home secretary since 2010, has a long track record in government. She campaigned for the "remain" vote in the referendum while Leadsom supported the "leave" campaign.
If she wins as is widely expected, she would be tasked with negotiating the U.K.'s exit from the EU.
Date of birth: 1 October 1956
Current Position: Home secretary
Marital Status: Married.
Education: Mainly state-educated at Wheatley Park Comprehensive School with a brief time at an independent school; St Hugh's College, Oxford.
Her position on Brexit: Supported the Remain campaign but says vote to come out must be respected. "Brexit means Brexit. The campaign was fought, the vote was held, turnout was high and the public gave their verdict. There must be no attempts to remain inside the EU, no attempts to rejoin it through the back door and no second referendum."
Political profile
May is one of the longest-serving home secretaries in British history, has long been regarded as a potential future leader of the party.
She was first elected to Parliament in 1997 as the MP for Maidenhead
Mrs May joined the shadow cabinet in 1999 as shadow education secretary.
In 2002 she became the party's first female chairman. She ruffled feathers at that year's Conservative conference when she told party members that they were seen as members of the "nasty party". Some in the party have never forgiven her for it.
Mrs May became the UK's most senior female politician after being appointed home secretary in 2010.
In 2014, she stunned the annual conference of the Police Federation by telling them corruption problems were not just limited to "a few bad apples" and threatening to end the federation's automatic right to enrol officers as its members.
In the same year, she got into a bitter public row with cabinet colleague Michael Gove over the best way to combat Islamist extremism, which ended with Mr Gove having to apologise to the prime minister and Mrs May having to sack a long-serving special adviser.
Prior to her parliamentary career, Mrs May worked at the Bank of England, and rose to become head of the European Affairs Unit of the Association for Payment Clearing Services.
Mrs May, who revealed in 2013 that she has type 1 diabetes, grew up in Oxfordshire, the only child of a Church of England vicar. She met her future husband Philip at university, where she studied geography, and they were married in 1980. The couple have no children.

Pretty interesting analysis of the state of things in the streaming music world: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-04/in-apple-spotify-world-soundcloud-can-t-find-room
cannot lie
i began readingsaw spotify, pandora and soundcloud discussed...then something promted me to search the article for "bandcamp" and nothing turned up
bad of me on some level, i know, but i don't feel bad for ignoring an article that erases it's impact
not sure how the topic can be discussed w/o mention of BC
i don't mean to stifle discussion either . just my personal observation based on my usage & needs
It's an article about operating at Wall Street scale. I imagine Bandcamp is likely a blip by comparison, in monetary terms.
The article is mostly about the survivability of commercial streaming music services, and Bandcamp is a pretty small and largely independent player, so I'm not surprised they're omitted...
But yeah, I think it's totally fair to ignore Bloomberg, Wall Street, massive scale, etc., when it comes to music. Music is intimate at its best. Scale is unnecessary.
good points
i am curious about bandcamp profitability tho
It's a private company, so we don't have details, but I seem to recall it is a profitable company that maintains this status with frugality and focus.
I know they've been profitable for quite a while now, I'd have to look for articles but it's been stated quite often.
I agree with you that not mentionning Bandcamp is not serious, even if you consider it works on a smaller scale, for many reasons : first, it has a lot of big artists on it so it's no longer that small a place, when you can go there download Thom Yorke, Madlib, Four Tet, Anohni, and so many others, you are an actual alternative.
Also, the simple fact that it : 1 also offers free streaming which makes it perfect to listen to music and discover (especially since the bandcamp fan service has improved so much) 2 is based on a sane business model, should be enough to say "hey, but wait, some people are doing that and it works, in the margin, in a way, but it works".
Are any of the other companies mentionned here "not private"? I'm unfamiliar with some of the vocabulary here and I'm not sure how it makes them differ from spotify and apple.
is bandcamp a streaming service though? I know I can stream music from there. but you stream your purchases in the first place, while on other sites you pay the stream per se or a substriction to streaming. correct me if im wrong.
nevertheless.. interesting article, thanks for sharing!
(I first thought this was spam, together with the new link feature.. scary)
Depends on the artist; you can set to allow unlimited streaming if you want. And any items you buy are available for streaming on their app. But it's not a "full featured" streaming site with playlists and the like.
They have a customizable subscription service as well:
oops, thanks for the correction!
I think it needs to be stated more often that Bandcamp is a music streaming service, I use it every day to discover artists and I extremely rarely see artists withholding content there and not allowing users to stream a fair amount of times before having to buy. If you want to listen to the tracks you love "on the go" with streaming (which at that technological stage is actually close to similar to owning the actual object/file in most daily cases) then bandcamp says "oh so what you want is to OWN this? Then you can buy it". I think it's a pretty clever way to get the best of both worlds.
Heard this last week. Seems appropriate to the discussion. http://www.marketplace.org/2016/12/21/world/bandcamp-ceo-says-he-sees-music-art-not-commodity
yeah the new app is bonkers, much better at recommending new content than before
snapshot of my wishlist (unpurchased items) and i can stream all of it until i decide what to do
another great feature that BC was built on is previewing whole songs...even if an artist limits the # of tracks streamable or the amount of streams you get at least one solid look at what the music sounds like
My point exactly, Bandcamp is becoming an increasingly powerful streaming service, except they did it in the right order, at a human scale, at a slow speed so they could do one thing at a time correctly, and with always keeping in mind both artists and listeners need, and apparently, all those reasons make them 0% interesting to add to the conversation when we're talking about companies who just focused on putting all the music in the world available for almost nothing with no idea whatsoever (except the usual "Yay! Advertising!") as to how they could sustain such a business model over time (let alone try to find some sort of social equity between revenue shares, because they're losing money anyway so that's not a concern they're actually allowed to have).
I find it terrifying, especially now that we see streaming services being just ventures for companies who don't care about being profitable and just want to use them to reach people to buy other things that are. Because once that equation is settled, there's no place left for discussion.
Wonder if Soundcloud would do better if they looked at their analytics? Thinking they could use their data to figure out which material is valuable, then negotiate exclusive rights to distributing it.
Record companies still use a lot of marketing to influence the public perception of their products, so what if Soundcloud put themselves into a position where they could identify winners and then push them out to a bigger audience?
Soundcloud absolutely takes advantage of their analytics. They're just small potatoes in the winner-takes-all game of scale. Bandcamp wins by not playing. Soundcloud could have as well, if they had chosen the frugal path. Instead, they took VC money. Oops.
I still don't understand Soundcloud's business model. What started as an easy way to share audio with annotations was never improved as such, and instead the company kept refocusing its attention on services done better by bigger companies (trying to be a social media platform, trying to be a streaming company). With this streaming model now, does it even make sense to upload samples and sketches and general faffing about, as it once was good at?

Wales prop Nicky Smith faces up to four months on the sidelines because of injury.
Smith's regional team Ospreys have confirmed that he will require surgery after suffering what they described as "a significant pectoral tear" during last Saturday's clash between Wales and New Zealand in Cardiff.
Smith, 20, went on as a late substitute during Wales' 34-16 defeat, before the injury forced him off. It was his second Test match appearance.
"Nicky suffered a significant pectoral tear playing for Wales against New Zealand on Saturday," Ospreys medical performance manager Chris Towers said.
"He has had scans and been reviewed by specialists and, following discussions, the decision is that the best course of treatment is for him to undergo surgery to repair the damage.
"He is looking at up to four months' recovery, post-operation."
Smith was formally released from the Wales squad earlier this week, and Scarlets prop Rob Evans has been training with the group ahead of this weekend's game against South Africa.
Smith's fellow Wales and Ospreys prop Ryan Bevington, meanwhile, has suffered a setback in his recovery from groin surgery.
"Having consulted with specialists again, the decision has been made that he requires further surgery that will take place later this week," Towers added.
"If it goes well, then he will need another couple of months following surgery before he will be able to resume playing."

1967-1976 - Worked in family planning programs in Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Thailand, Nepal, Indonesia and Turkey for Population Council, USAID, & UN agencies. 1976, while working on a PhD in Population and Development Planning at the U of Wash, I learned to juggle. Since 1976 I've been in over 2,000 elem. schools and taught over 1,000,000 kids, teachers & parents to juggle, starting with nylon scarves. This program, Juggling for Success , gives classroom teachers a way to get kids up and moving between major subjects. Kids do better socially and academically once juggling breaks become part of their day. Trained by Al Gore in Jan 2007, I've combined my early passion for population and environment, and my love of working with kids. I've designed Climate Change is Elementary, a one day program that brings climate change messages to elementary schools nationwide, using physical activities, games and skits designed for each grade level. This program involves all the students, all the teachers and most of the parents, and opens up discussion in the school on the topic.

WinSystems announced the PS394 series of PC/104 and PC/104-Plus highly integrated, green energy power supply modules. The series consists of three DC/DC supplies: PPM-PS394-533, PCM-PS394-500 and ISM-PS394-533. They support two inputs from solar panels, wind turbines, or other DC sources. The PPM-PS394-533 is priced at $249. The PCM-PS394-500 is $229 and the ISM-PS394-533 is $209. They are ideal for telemetry, pipelines, outdoor signage, military, transportation, and security applications.
The WinSystems PPM-PS394-533 is a PC/104-Plus module with +5V@5A and +3.3V@5A outputs. The PCM-PS394-500 is a PC/104 module with a single +5V@10A output. The ISM-PS394-533 is a standalone dual output +5V@5A and +3.3V@5A unit without the PC/104 connectors populated. The power supplies are available in three standard configurations with custom engineered solutions also available. Each of the 90 x 96mm board options accept voltages from the dual 9 – 32 volt DC input sources and automatically selects and converts the highest one to the output voltage(s).
The PS394 series modules provide a complete power management solution for embedded computers by directly powering the device from one of the dual DC inputs as well as providing smart battery charging and switching to battery power when the input voltage(s) drop below operational levels. The battery charging controls support 6V or 12V batteries including Lead Acid, Li-Ion/Polymer, LiFePO, and SLA chemistries. The UPS feature provides a fast switchover which is free of oscillations between the two external sources and battery. Multiple options are available for setting charge times, float voltages, and charge current monitoring. The charger also has built in state-of-charge (SOC), bad battery detection, preconditioning, and end-of-charge (EOC) features as well as an optional thermistor to monitor the battery's temperature. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is supported for solar panels for more efficient charging during cloudy or low-light conditions.

Kayaking is one of the most favorite activities in the world, especially fishing kayak. People have a tendency to kayak in their free time. Also, it is not hard to learn about kayak as there are many fishing kayak reviews on the Internet to search and study. Thanks to kayaks, people can enjoy the beauty of the nature that they never have opposites to discover.
There are several types of kayaks which suit the beginner. It not only is easy to handle, but also support the beginner to keep the kayak in the balance. Although the kayaks are very popular in the world and people can find out the kayak at any stores in the world or order in websites as well; however, there is no evidence to show that the kayak you get fit you or adapt your requirements. We can suggest some kinds of kayak for these people.
The first type you should add to your reference list is the Dagger Mamba creek 8.1. This kind of kayak is quite stable and maneuverable for the beginners. With these kayaks, you can adjust the food and the thigh braces which can make for sure that your kayaks are a proper fit. Furthermore, the controlling system of the kayaks is at the cockpit or the bow that can transport easily. [Read more…]

The trapped squirrel is taken down into the trap with no obvious signs to the passer by that a squirrel is trapped inside. A small tell tail can be installed so the trapper can see if the trap has been fired without having to get their ladder out for a visual inspection.
