Police Briefs
Alarm results in standoff
A police standoff in the West End ended Friday afternoon with a man taken into custody.
The incident began just after noon Friday, when a break-and-enter alarm sounded at a residence on Simcoe Street.
A source familiar with the incident said the alarm company sent a staff representative to 537 Simcoe St., where a man could be seen inside the home carrying a hammer.
Police were notified and the homeowner arrived and confirmed he did not know the individual inside.
Police set up positions around the house but the man refused to come out.
Firefighters were called to the scene when a fire broke out inside the home.
Police said the situation ended at 2:20 p.m. when the man was taken into custody.
Radar worker threatened
A North End man is facing charges after the operator of a mobile photo radar unit was allegedly threatened last month.
Winnipeg Police said the unit was parked Jan. 19 in a school zone near McGregor Street and Anderson Avenue when the operator was repeatedly threatened by a man driving a large pickup truck.
Police said the man first confronted the operator by backing up his truck, a modified Ford F-250, until it touched the operator's vehicle, and making contact with the photo radar equipment mounted on the outside.
The man stepped out of his truck, confronted the operator, yelling obscenities at him, and taking photos of him using a cellphone, police allege.
The man got back into his truck and left. The operator, fearing for his safety, prepared to leave, but before he could, the man returned, this time driving into opposing traffic and pulled up close beside the operator's vehicle and trapped him inside.
Police said no physical contact was made but the man continued to make threats to the operator and yell obscenities at him before driving off again.
WPS spokesman Const. Jason Michalyshen said a 49-year-old man, who lives near the scene of the confrontation, was arrested Thursday morning. He is facing charges of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, driving imprudently and having an obscured licence plate.
Michalyshen said photo radar operators have been subjected to abuse in the past, but said such behaviour is not acceptable.
Pot bust on St. Mary's
A 49-year-old man is facing several drug-related charges after police found 656 marijuana plants in a home in the 1900 block of St. Mary's Road.
Police said officers executed a search warrant Thursday on the home.
The man was arrested following a traffic stop nearby. Marijuana was also found in the vehicle.
Police said the marijuana plants have an estimated street value of about $735,000.
The man was released on a promise to appear in court at a later date.

Maybach Music Group artist Omarion recently reacted to Frank Ocean coming out with his sexuality and said the fellow singer can now focus on making records freely.
Maybach O said he can respect anyone who places honesty over keeping things to themselves.
"It feels good when you can be honest, you can walk around with things that you don't have to carry around anymore," said Omarion. "And I feel like it might have been a burden for him. I feel like he can walk around and feel happy about who he is now. Anyone that has something they need to get off their chest, I respect." (Rap-Up)
Last week, Ocean revealed the truth behind releasing his open letter on Indepedence Day.
He said that his open letter was written in December 2011 with a view to include it in the album sleeve notes in order to pre-empt speculation that might arise from some of its songs addressing men. "I knew that I was writing in a way that people would ask questions," he said. "I knew that my star was rising, and I knew that if I waited I would always have somebody that I respected be able to encourage me to wait longer, to not say it till who knows when." The Odd Future member also downplayed the risk in his coming out. "People are just afraid of things too much … Sure, evil exists, extremism exists. Somebody could commit a hate crime and hurt me. But they could do the same just because I'm black. They could do the same just because I'm American." (Guardian)
Cash Money's Jay Sean recently said fans should narrow in on Ocean's content rather than his personal lifestyle.
The "Do You Remember" singer adds that the sexual preference of a singer should not be a factor when looking for new music. "When you listen to a song, just heard the voice and that song, you have no idea what that person looks like, what color they are, how old they are, you have no idea of their sexual orientation, none of that, so all you should judge is what you're hearing," he said. (VIBE)
Earlier this month, G-Unit leader 50 Cent called out anyone who judges the singer based on his sexual preference.
"Anyone that has an issue with Frank Ocean is an idiot," 50 Cent told MTV UK. "I think Frank Ocean is a talented artist, I think he's created material that made me know his name, that impressed me, with things he said on a song like 'Novacane.' " For Fif, Ocean's efforts in the studio are way more important than his goings-on in the bedroom, and because Frank has delivered exemplary performances on record, his romantic revelation is a non-issue for the Get Rich or Die Tryin' MC. "It could be revolutionary or it could be a tragedy," he said before noting the timing of Frank's announcement and his Channel Orange album release. "You can call it brave or you can call it marketing, because it was intentional; it wasn't an accident." (MTV UK)

Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
United States Patent 3,269,971 POLYCARBONATE FLOW EXTENDERS Kenneth B. Goldblum, Pittsfield, Mass., assignor to General Electric Company, a corporation of New York No Drawing. Filed Apr. 8, 1965, Ser. No. 446,732 Claims. (Cl. 26031.4)
This invention relates to plasticizers for polycarbonates. More particularly, this invention relates to pasticizers for polycarbonates which do not cause degradation of polymer properties. Specifically, this invention relates to polymeric compositions comprising polycarbonates and a carbonate ester plasticizer having two ester linkages.
Polycarbonates are well known, commercially available materials having a variety of applications in the plastics art. Such carbonate polymers may be prepared by reacting a dihydrice phenol, such as 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propane (Bisphenol A), with a carbonate precursor such as phosgene, in the presence of an acid acceptor. Generally speaking, aromatic polycarbonate resins offer a high resistance to the attack of mineral acids, may be molded, and are physiologically harmless as well as stain resistant. In addition, such polymers have high impact strength, a high heat resistance, and a dimensional stability far surpassing that of any other commercially available thermoplastic material. The properties of the polycarbonates render them amenable to a wide variety of commercial applications. However, heretofore, various difficulties have been encountered with the moldability of the polycarbonate resins which, to some extent, have curtailed their range of utility.
Various attempts have been made to render the polycarbonates more moldable. One such attempt was to produce polycarbonates having lower melt viscosities. This did improve moldability of the polycarbonates, but at the expense of other physical properties, especially impact strength. To obtain a polycarbonate resin suitable for molding, it is necessary to severely reduce the intrinsic viscosityalmost to a point where the material will no longer be commercially useful. A second approach recently taken to improve the moldability of the polycarbonates comprises the use of various plasticizers or lubricants. Plasticizers such as adipates, benzoates, chlori nated hydrocarbons, epoxy compounds, glycerol derivatives, glycolates, phosphates, phosphites, phosphenates, phthalates, etc., have been suggested. It has been found that while these plasticizers do render the polycarbonates more readily moldable, they cause degradation of many of the polymers physical properties. Thus, it has been found that these plasticizers improved the flow of the resin, but caused decreases in intrinsic viscosity with resultant decreases in physical properties.
I have now unexpectedly found that I can improve the moldability of the polycarbonate resins without degrading other properties of the resin by including a carbonate ester having two ester linkages in the polymer compositron.
Accordingly, one object of this invention is to provide a polycarbonate resin which is readily moldable and which retains its physical properties.
Another object of this invention is to provide a plasticizer for a polycarbonate which does not degrade the physical properties of the resin.
A third object of this invention is to provide a readily moldable polycarbonate composition comprising a poly- 3,269,971 Patented August 30, 1966 carbonate resin and a carbonate ester having two ester linkages.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will be in part apparent and in part pointed out in the description which follows.
Briefly stated, the objects of this invention are accomplished by the addition of a small amount of a carbonate ester to a polycarbonate.
The carbonate esters which may be employed are represented by the following general formula:
wherein R and R represent members selected from the group consisting of monovalent substituted and unsubstituted bulky aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic and heterocyclic groups having at least 6 carbon atoms. The particular group that R may represent is not critical provided that it is a bulky hydrocarbon having greater than 7 carbon atoms. Typical examples of the carbonate esters that may be used as plasticizers with the polycarbonates include, for example,
didecylcarbonate, didodecylcarbonate, dipentadecylcarb onate, dioctadecylcarbonate, didocosylcarbonate, dipentacosylcarbonate, nonlydecylcarbonate, heptylundecylcarbonate, di-2-methylheptylcarbonate, di-2-ethyl1heptylcarbonate,
di-3 -dimethyldecylcarbonate, di-4-tert-butyloctadecylcarbonate, di-2-ethyl-2decenylcarbonate, di-Z-tert-butyll ,3 -nonadienylcarbonate, di-2-tert-butyl-3 -tetradecynylcarbonate, dicetylcarbonate, ditridecylcarbonate, dilaurylcarbonate, di-1-propyl-5-methyl-3 -heptadecynylcarbonate, ditolylcarbonate,
dixylylcarbonate, phenylxylylocarbonate, distearylcarbonate,
bis (4,4'-tert-butyl) carbonate,
bis (3 -ethyl-4-butylphenyl carbonate, bis 4-ipropenylphenyl) carbonate, 4-tert-butylphenylcarbonate, di-naphthylcarbonate,
bis 5 ,6-di-methylnaphthyl) carbonate, bis S-ethenylnaphthyl) carbonate, phenylnaphthylcarbonate, dicyclohexylcarbonate, dicycloheptylcarbonate, etc.
The expression polycarbonate resin as used herein is meant to embrace within its scope carbonate polymers of dihydric phenols, as well as carbonate copolymers of such dihydric phenols with glycols, such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, for example, diabasic acids, such as for example, isophthalic or terephthalic acid; and hydroxyl or acid-terminated polyesters, such as, for example, the hydroxyl or acid-terminated polyester of neopentyl glycol and adipic acid. Such polycarbonate resins may be prepared by reacting a dihydric phenol with a carbonate precursor such as phosgene, a haloformate or a carbonate ester. Generally speaking, the resulting carbonate polymers may be typified as possessing recurring structural units of the formula:
wherein A is a divalent aromatic radical of the dihydric phenol employed in the polymer producing reaction. Preferably, the polycarbonate resins have intrinsic viscosities (as measured in p-dioxane in deciliters per gram at 30 C.) ranging from about 0.35 to 0.75. The dihydric phenols which may be employed to provide such aromatic carbonate polymers are mononuclear or polynuclear aromatic compounds containing as functional groups, two hydroxyl radicals, each of which is attached directly to a carbon atom of an aromatic nucleus. Typical dihydric phenols are 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propane; hydroquinone;
resorcinol; 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-pentane; 2,4-dihydroxydiphenyl methane;
bis- (2-hydroxyphenyl -rnethane;
bis-( 4-hydroxyphenyl -methane; bis-(4-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)methane; 1,1'-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl) -ethane; 3,3'-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-pentane; 2,2-dihydroxydiphenyl; 2,6-dihydroxynaphthalene;
bis- (4-hydroxyphenyl -sulfone; 2,4-dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone; 4,4-dihydroxydiphenyl ether; and 4,4'-dihydroxy-2,S-diethoxydiphenyl ether.
A variety of additional dihydric phenols which may be employed to provide such carbonate polymers are disclosed in US. Patent Number 2,999,835, of Eugene P. Goldberg, assigned to the assignee of the present invention. It is, of course, possible to employ two or more different dihydric phenols or, as stated above, a dihydric phenol in combination with a glycol, a hydroxy or acidterminated polyester, or a diabasic acid in the event a carbonate copolymer rather than a homopolymer is desired.
When a carbonate ester is used as the carbonate precursor in the polymer forming reaction, the materials are reacted at temperatures of from 100 C, or higher for times varying from 1 to 15 hours. Under such conditions, ester interchange occurs between the carbonate ester and the dihydric phenol used. The ester interchange is advantageously consummated at reduced pressures of the order of from about 0.10 to 100 mm. of mercury, preferably in an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen or argon for example.
Although the polymer forming reaction may be conducted in the absence of a catalyst, one may, if desired, employ the usual ester exchange catalysts, such as, for example, metallic lithium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Additional catalysts and variations in the exchange methods are discussed in Groggins, Unit Processes in Organic Syntheses (fourth edition, McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1952), pages 616 to 620. The amount of such catalyst, if used, is usually small, ranging from about 0.001 to about 0.1 percent, based on the moles of the dihydric phenol employed. The carbonate ester useful in this connection may be aliphatic or aromatic in nature, although aromatic esters, such as diphenylcarbonate, are preferred. Additional examples of carbonate esters which may be used are dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, phenylmethyl carbonate, phenyltolyl carbonate and di- (tolyl)carbonate.
A preferred method for preparing the carbonate polymers involves the use of a carbonyl halide, such as phosgene, as a carbonate precursor. The method involves passing phosgene gas into a reaction mixture containing the dihydric phenol in an acid acceptor such as a tertiary amine, e.g., pyridine, dimethylaniline, quinoline, etc. The acceptor may be used undiluted or diluted with inert organic solvents, as for example, methylene chloride, chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichloro ethane. Tertiary amines are advantageous since they are good solvents as well as acid acceptors during the reaction period.
The temperature at which the carbonyl halide reaction proceeds may vary from below 0 C. to above C. Te reaction proceeds satisfactorily at temperature from room temperature (25 C.) to 50 C. Since the reaction is exothermic, the rate of phosgene addition may be used to control the reaction temperature. The amount of phosgene required will generally depend upon the amount of dihydric phenol present. Generally speaking, one mole of phosgene will react with one mole of the dihydric phenol used to provide the polymer in 2 moles of HCl. Two moles of HCl are in turn attached by the acid acceptor present. The foregoing are herein referred to as stoic-hiometric or theoretical amounts.
Another method of preparing the carbonate polymers comprises adding phosgene to alkaline aqueous suspension of the dihydric phenol used. This is preferably done in the presence of inert solvents such as methylene chloride, 1-,2-dichloroethane and the like. Quaternary ammonium compounds may be employed to catalyze the action.
A fourth method for preparing such carbonate polymers involves the phosgenation of an agitated suspension of the anhydrous alkali salt of the dihydric phenol used in a non-aqueous medium such as benzene, chlorobenzene, and toluene. The reaction is illustrated by the addition of phosgene to a slurry of the sodium salt of 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propane in an inert polymer solvent such as chlorobenzene, The organic solvent should preferably be a polymer solvent but need not necessarily be a good solvent for the reactants.
Generally speaking, a haloformate, such as the bishaloformate of 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propane may be substituted for phosgene as the carbonate precursor in any of the methods described above.
In each of the above solution methods of preparation, the carbonate polymer emerges from the reaction in either a true or pseudo solution whereas aqueous base or pyridine is used as an acid acceptor. The polymer may be precipitated from the solution by adding a polymer nonsolvent, such as heptane or isopropanol. Alternatively, the polymer solution may be heated to evaporate the solvent.
The quantity of plasticizer used in the present invention may vary between rat-her 'broad limits depending upon the properties desired, but generally speaking, the amount should not be less than 0.1 percent by weight and not more than 5 percent by weight. With quantities less than 0.2 percent, the improvement in moldability is not readily detectable and where the amount exceeds 5 percent, the polycarbonate begins to lose the beneficial properties of the unplasticized polycarbonate. Preferably, the plasticizer is added in amount ranging from about 1.0 percent to about 2 percent of the total weight of the polycarbonate mixture.
Addition of the plasticizer may be accomplished in any manner so long as a thorough distribution of the modifier in the polycarbonate resin is obtained. For example, the mixing of the materials may be accomplished by any one of the variety of methods normally employed for incorporation of fillers, common modifiers, etc. Such methods include, but are not limited to, mixing rolls, dough mixers, Banbury mixers, extruders, and other mixing equipment. The resulting mixture may be handled in any conventional manner employed for the fabrication or manipulation of thermoplastic resins. The mixtures may 'be formed or molded using compression, injection, calendering, and extrusion techniques.
Alternatively, the plasticizer may be added to the polycarbonate by dissolving both in a common solvent. The solvent is then evaporated to leave the plasticizer homogeneously dispersed throughout the polycarbonate.
The aromatic polycarbonates containing the carbonate esters show substantially no decrease in intrinsic viscosity due to the addition of the plasticizer. In contrast, other well-known polymeric plasticizers such as dioctylphthalate, zinc stearate, stearamide, etc., cause substantial degradation of the polycarbonate and result in reductions of intrinsic viscosity by as much as 30 percent.
The following examples are illustrative of the various aspects ofthe present invention, but are not to be construed as limiting in any way. All percentages used in the examples are by weight.
EXAMPLE 1 This example is designed to show the effect of carbonate esters having two ester linkages, on the flow properties of polycarbonates.
In this example, various carbonates were mixed with a polycarbonate derived from 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)- propane having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.54 dl./ g. as measured in p-dioxane at 30 C. In each case, 1188 grams of dry polycarbonate powder were mixed with 12 grams of a carbonate ester. The mixture was blended thoroughly for /2 hour and extruded in a welding engineers laboratory model twin screw extruder. The extruded strand was chopped into pellets. These pellets were then dried overnight.
To determine the effectiveness of the carbonate esters, a test was devised to measure flowability. The test comprised molding the pellets at a temperature of 580 F. at three diiferent pressures. The pressures employed were 700, 850 and 1000 p.s.i., respectively. The mold employed was of a spiral configuration. The length of a molded spiral strand at a given pressure is a measure of the fiowability of the composition, the longer lengths indicating better flow properties.
The following results were obtained:
Table I.Flowability of polycarbonate containing carbonate ester additive As is apparent from the above table, the incorporation of carbonate esters in low concentrations results in improved fiowability.
EXAMPLE 2 In this example, the process of Example 1 was repeated, but the concentration of carbonate ester was increased to 2 percent. The following results were obtained:
Table II.Flwability of polycarbonate containing carbonate ester additive Runner length (inches) Wt. perat 580 F. Carbonate additive cent of carbonate 700 psi. 850 p.s.i. 1,000 p.s.i.
Di-neodecyl carbonate. 2 16. 3 17. 9 19. 2 Dineododccyl carbonate- 2 16. 6 17.8 19. 0 Control 0 13. 14. 7 16.0
As can be seen from the above table, even greater improvements in flow properties are realized at the 2 percent carbonate additive level.
EXAMPLE 3 Intrinsic viscosities of the samples of Example 1 were determined using the Ostwald viscosimeter. The polycarbonate composition was dissolved in p-dioxane and the viscosity was measured at 30 C. The following results were obtained:
Table III.Intrinsic viscosity of polycarbonate containing carbonate ester Carbonate ester additive:
Intrinsic viscosity,
The effect of the carbonate esters on the intrinsic viscosity of the polycarbonate was substantially nil indicating that the polycarbonate was not degraded due to the addition of the carbonate ester.
Another unique advantage of the present invention is that it provides for polycarbonates having improved flow properties with plasticizer additions of only 0.2 percent. Heretofore, the plasticizers employed with the polycarbonates comprised 10 to 50 percent of the composition. This high percentage of plasticizer led to dilution of the polymer and degradation of the plastic properties. By employing the plasticizers of this invention, the same improvements in flow properties can be obtained utilizing minimal quantities of plasticizer.
It would, of course, be apparent that other changes and modifications can be made in other particular embodiments of the invention described which are within the full intent and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. A plasticized polycarbonate resin composition consisting of a polycarbonate resin selected from the group consisting of polymers of dihydric phenols and copolymers thereof and a carbonate ester plasticizer having the following general formula:

Breast cancer results from uncontrolled growth of breast cells. About 1 in 8 Canadian women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. Only 20% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have a family history of breast cancer and known gene mutations (such as BRCA1 and BRCA2) account for only 5 to 10% of cases. This means that most breast cancer occurs in women without a family history. Women living in the US have a 10-fold greater risk of dying from...Read More

Wow, the perfect keyboard !
I like it very much as my both children. Great combination of quality and price.
Excellent value for the price.
When the keyboard arrived I was immediately disappointed with the sound quality. The Kawai X20 keyboard I bought at a yard sale actually has a much nicer tone. The board is configurable enough to suit my needs and the step up lessons seem to be helping. The inability to save the current set up means the same choices must be made every time the machine is turned on. I purchased the keyboard on sale and it is worth that much. Yamaha has an equivalent machine at a similar 'full price' point and I would want to hear that machine before deciding which to buy.
Over all, I'm happy with this keyboard but I know it won't be my last.
lots of features for a minimal price! It is very light but sturdy and comes with an easy to read display which shows what key/note you're hitting and where you are on the piano. the touch response is awesome! you won't find anything better at this price! especially with MIDI capability. display also shows what keys to hit on the songs loaded on the piano. I would definitely recommend!
Sorry - decided to return the electric keyboard. Nothing wrong with it and the price was a real bargain - just much more complicated than I'd hoped. Tried it several times (and I DO play the piano) but seemed like more of a chore than the fun I'd hoped it would be.
For a beginner, this keyboard is very good, and the price is excellent. Unlike the basic model, the keys in this model are touch-sensitive, which means the harder you press, the louder the sound you get, just like a real piano.
Timely delivery; Good price for a decent keyboard with velocity-sensitive keys (some cheaper models are not, even though they claim to be "touch-sensitive") to substitute a piano, though it lacks the piano "feel" when playing and pedal had to be bought separately. Light and portable
It is almost one year now. My son works on this keyboard almost everyday. No problems reported so far.
Great product
I purchased this for my daughter who has just started learning piano in school. Its good and working well, my daughter is enjoying her music lessons.
I just received it few weeks ago and I'm just a beginner in playing piano.but I'm very satisfied with it so far. For someone who want to try learning to play piano but don't want to spend too much in case he wouldn't like it, it's a good move. Surely a wise choise for children too.
My daughter has been using it for four months and it works perfectly!
Reallllly great instrument. I am glad i bought it :) Excellent for beginners and intermediate players. Pretty light and portable so you can take it out with you.
I just got mine last week and i am glad i ordered it. Looks Really Pleasing, Sounds Great and with Awesome features for such a good price. I am a complete newbie and i am learning on it, it is a great instrument. I recommend to anyone who is learning or is a intermediate player.
Excellent: It's so nice keyboard. Easy to learn for beginners. My son just love it. And the in built songs are very helpful just for beginning according the levels A B C.
This is a beautiful electric keyboard, that is vey appealling to the eye and I am very impressed with the sound. I love the step up lesson. Compared to the other casio keyboards not sure if this one is worth the extra money would depend on what is needed in a keyboard. I bought this keyboard and paid the extra because the Ck 2300 was not available at the time.

ABSTRACT: A T-gate structure has been implemented in the fabrication of fully depleted silicon-on-insulator MOSFETs. The T-gate process is fully compatible with the standard CMOS and the resulting reduction of gate-resistance significantly improved the RF performance. Measured f/sub max/ is 76 GHz and 63 GHz for n- and p-MOSFET with 0.2-/spl mu/m gate length, respectively. At 2 GHz, a minimum noise figure of 0.4 dB was measured on an n-MOSFET with the T-gate structure.IEEE Electron Device Letters 02/2002; · 2.79 Impact Factor
Conference Paper: Detailed analysis of enhancement-mode technologies for the development of high performance, power conserving, mixed-signal integrated circuits[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An important aspect in developing digital receivers is the reduction of analog components, which tend to be temperature sensitive and require calibration and result in a reduction in receiver accuracy. Digital receivers are a long-term goal of the Air Force, which strive for increased functionality interactive capability amongst air, space and ground based platforms. Therefore, in the proper designing of that digital receiver an intricate tradespace exists in order to maintain the power performance relationship needed to meet platform requirements, and reducing acquisition and lifecycle costs. This paper summarizes efforts to completely analyze two complementary enhancement-mode technologies, GaAs CHFET and SOI CMOS, which could be implemented at the front end of the digital receiver and result in an appropriate power/performance improvement. This effort begins with a detailed radio frequency (RF) characterization of each technology, the building of a complete RF model, and the correct choice of enhancement-mode, high performance mixed-signal circuit designs. This type of ground level approach is critical to any future digital receiver architecture where platform power budget constraints must be met, while producing the maximum performanceNational Aerospace and Electronics Conference, 2000.

Score from 622 reviews Very good
The room is good and confortable. Good bed.
Dust everywhere and a bit noisy.
Very clean
Pleasant personal, I rest good in the room
Not good warming in the room, for me was colder than normal warming
poor wifi
I ordered a chicken meal from the restaurant, when it was served the chicken was under cooked and pink along the top half. It is very dangerous serving under cooked chicken!
You would struggle to find anything better at the same or a comparable price. A modern hotel located just across from the main train station it is ideally located for business or leisure. Staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are spotless. You can not go wrong with choosing this hotel.
24h reception, very friendly - let me in my room right when coming from the night train at 6 in the morning! Only knew "standard" ibis before, was impressed by the space and comfort of this kind of ibis.
Very close to railway station. Great facilities in hotel. Rooms are maintained clean. Breakfast is good. Staff is helpful and co-operative.
Lack of fitness equipment. Limited vegetarian dishes for dinner. Limited space in morning for breakfast during 7 to 7:30 am.
Noise from lift
The room was big enough and clean. The location is very good. Its about 20 min walk to the city centre.
I found everything a bit overpriced. The food at the restaurant was not satisfying.
The room was very nice and comfortable. Breakfast had a wide variety of foods including delicious eggs and sausage links.
The room was small with barely enough space to open our large suitcases.
No free parking place.
1. not expensive 2. clean 3. close to the train station 4. receptionists are friendly 5. there is a supermarket next to this hotel
well known hotel network, I use often when travelling in france for business. good standard, perhaps breakfast prices might be reduced/modulated
The hotel is just two hundred metres from the railway station, so it is ideal for people who travels by train. The hotel is modern, clean and quiet.
Position and kind service
Wireless internet was weak in room
Too much expensive, besides for any further request you must pay more: from breakfast to parking
Excellent location next to the railway station. Very nice staff at the reception, always ready to help. The hotel has a nice design and the rooms are quite spacious for an Ibis Hotel. Free wifi which worked perfectly.
My room was close to the lift which was very noisy.
Location is good if you need to take early train
Just opposite the train station, if need to travel is ideal.Taxi for center costs around 8euro.
The curtain on the shower
Nice reception area with nice seets. A nice builidng.
Firstly the bed is excellent. The room is small but very smartly decorated, same goes for the bathroom. The location is a 15 minute walk from downtown, so even useful as a starting point for a city trip since it's friendly priced.
Shower is a bit shaky: shower head can't be fixed to wall anymore and the water pressure is rather low.
Location is absolutely perfect if you are travelling by train. Station is across the street. Hotel itself is new and modern with clean rooms.
No aircondition
Good located hotel, competent and quick staff, quality of Ibis network

Domaine Chandon Brut
Domaine Chandon - California - United States
Professional Wine Reviews for Domaine Chandon BrutAdditional information »
The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.
When it comes to New World wine regions, it is widely agreed that many of the finest wines are grown and produced in California. The long stretches of coastline and the valleys and mountainsides which come off them are ideal areas for vine cultivation, and for over a century now, wineries have found a perfect home in the hot, dry state, with many of the wines produced here going on to reach world class status. The state is greatly helped by the brisk oceanic winds which cool the otherwise hot and dry vineyards, which hold mineral rich soils covering vast areas and featuring many established wineries. The state is split into four main regions, the largest by far being the central valley which stretches over three hundred miles in length.
The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.

Wonderful! Everything in this dress is just wonderful: the print, the pattern, the fit, the job and you in it. It's really the work to be proud of. My only question is if you make the buttons on the right side intentionally.
The buttons on the wrong side of the dress is a mistake, i cutted my pattern piece wrong and i didn't had enough fabric to cut new pieces….
thank you for your comment!

Humming all the way
Reviewed: 23 November 2014 by Amason, a Straight Married Female
We love playing with this toy!
I am a definite clitoral girl, and my OH loves insertion toys - it's the best of both worlds for us.
This is a solid toy with no give in it at all, which allows firm pressure as well as precision where needed. The shaft is a lovely silky smooth material.
The twist dial at the base is easy to use.
It's a lovely G-spot finder and great clitoral stroker with strong vibrations. Can be used all over the body.
This toy is a firm favourite.
- Pros
- Firm precision with great vibration.
- Cons
- What's not to like?
- Bottom line
- More than a clitoris play toy!

Amazing Toy
Reviewed: 15 October 2014 by notastegosaurus, a Bisexual Single Female
The reviews and product description of this vibe gave it a lot to live up to, but oh boy did it deliver.
For the two AA batteries it takes, it's very powerful. It feels great on my clit, and a some lube just makes for that little bit of extra fun.
Upon getting this, I played around with the slower settings before ramping it up all the way, and I was screaming in no time. This has to be one of my very favourite toys - I love using it by myself, and it's just as much fun to use on my partner.
I'd seriously recommend this to anyone who was considering it - you need this in your life.
- Pros
- The speed and design.
- Cons
- It's a little noisy.
- Bottom line
- The partner your clit needs.
- Was this review helpful to you? Yes
Great toy
Reviewed: 11 October 2014 by Brianange, a Straight Married Male
This is fantastic. We played with it for quite a long time, and the shape on the end is a perfect fit and produces a nice gentle sucking effect.
But when you insert it, wow, what a feeling. Great value for money. Would recommend it. You won't be sorry.
- Pros
- Everything.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Fantastic, brilliant, sexy - I could go on.

I love this
Reviewed: 05 October 2014 by cup_cake, a Straight Single Female
I love this toy and it is by far the best I have. I find the clitoral nub perfect against the G-spot, and never disappoints. Can be a little awkward to get used to the nub at first if you haven't used toys before, but doesn't take long to adjust, and it's worth it.
It's a perfect size, and the ridges add to pleasure. :)
Mine recently broke and the Lovehoney team were brilliant about it. When they refunded me, the first thing I did was buy it again!
- Pros
- Everything! Every woman should have one.
- Cons
- That I didn't purchase it sooner. No cons.
- Bottom line
- Amazing toy for an amazing price.

The best toy I own
Reviewed: 22 September 2014 by Clockwork_Oasis, a Gay Going Steady Female
This toy is, without competition, the very best toy I've ever owned. The shape is interesting, and lets you play with how you receive the vibrations. Directly on one spot - through the knob on the end (great for clitoral and G-spot stimulation), or spread gentler over a larger area.
This is wonderful to use on a partner, for that exact reason, it offers loads of variation and creative possibilities.
This toy is great inside and outside, has a wonderful soft surface, and that's not even the best parts.
The vibrator really packs a punch! The smooth wheel gives you full control of smooth gentle vibrations or really fast and strong ones. The vibrator is rigid enough that you can really add pressure when needed, and it's still really silent.
Good to use on your own, great to use with a partner.
- Pros
- Absolutely everything - quiet, powerful, feels great inside and out.
- Cons
- Had to buy two: couldn't agree on who would have it on the weekends.
- Bottom line
- Perfect

Corporate Advocacy Program™
At the storage unit, and after the truck was mostly loaded, the driver announced that he need to re write the contract (making it non-binding) for 6,000 lbs. The additional 1,000 lbs would be billed at 85 cents per pound. As a point of law the amended contract should have been presented and signed before the first item went onto the truck. Note: I was already in Pennsylvania and my friend was overseeing the loading in California.
After the truck had left I received emails from 2 different departments at Oasis (Deliveries and Accounting) saying that the final bill was for 6,400 lbs having weighed the goods at their warehouse and so the amount required to be paid in cash before my goods was unloaded was based on the new weight. I refused that, pointing out that the maximum I was required to pay was the non-binding estimate plus 10% as this is the law for interstate moves.
I also insisted on a 'back-weigh' whereby the delivery vehicle would be weighed before and after unloading to establish the actual weight of the goods transported. I attended the original weighing, (and I have the ticket) and upon arrival at the delivery address paid the revised estimate amount of 6,000 lbs plus 10% in cash. I was assured that after the second weighing if the good weighed less than 6,000 lbs I would be refunded in cash at the weigh station. I was further assured that the re-weigh was a waste of time as the scales at the warehouse were accurate.
The two guys unloaded my stuff, all of which I had properly packed and immediately it became obvious that there was a LOT of damage. I was attempting to photograph the damage as the goods were unloaded but the driver insisted there was no time and started piling my stuff up in the street. Furthermore of the '4 large packing boxes' Oasis were supposed to have packed (and for which I had already been charged) only one appeared on the manifest, and none were delivered.
Many items were severely damaged (including the boxes I had packed which had been crushed, deformed and in many instances opened). Several items which were supposed to have been wrapped in packing blankets were not - and so were scratched and broken, and the items that were supposed to have been boxed by Oasis were just loose and so damaged. There were also several items missing, including a washing machine!
After everything was of the truck we went back to the weigh station and at the second weighing it transpired that Oasis had actually delivered 5,260 lbs. The driver flat out refused to refund the $960 dollars that I had been overcharged just on the non-binding estimate, and had no answer where my missing stuff was.
The way I see it, and as I understand the law, there should be a refund for the money I overpaid based on the estimate, a refund of the money I paid for the boxes that I paid to have packed and weren't, plus the one that may have been but was lost (why should I pay for packing on a box that was never delivered)? and given that Oasis - as they insist - collected 6,400 lbs there should be a refund for the 'missing' 1,140 lbs (at the federally mandated rate of 65 cents per pound).
In short, Oasis owe me nearly $2,000 (plus interest) and refuse to respond to e-mails or calls.
I am about to contact the BBB, DOT, and state law enforcement in California (the place of collection) and Pennsylvania (the place I both signed the contracts and took delivery). I am looking into other agencies I can contact, and believe me when I say if anyone is able to be involved in this I will be contacting them too.
I do NOT recommend this company and I am currently taking any and all action I can to get my money refunded and have them prosecuted by any agency that has the power to act.

SUBMITTED: Saturday, February 18, 2012POSTED: Saturday, February 18, 2012
The final amount they owe comes to $2,183.70
This breaks down thus:
$948.20 collected at the point of delivery (in cash) for goods not transported. They billed for 6,000 lbs and made me pay the balance before delivery (+ 10% as it had been changed to a non-binding contract). They only actually transported 5,260 lbs. This money should have been refunded at the point of the backweigh when it became obvious I had been overcharged.
$741.00 They invoiced me (twice) for goods weighing 6,400 lbs (after they had weighed it at their warehouse but before it was delivered). The company insists that they collected 6,400 lbs but only delivered 5,260 lbs, meaning that the company 'lost' 1,140 lbs. The federally mandated rate for non deliveredand broken items is $0.65 per pound, making $741.00 owed for those items.
$422.50 The items the company damaged or destroyed during transit came to a total weight of 650 lbs (@ $0.65 per lb)
$72.00 I was charged for the packing of "4 large Boxes": Only one appears on the manifest and none were delivered.
I am being forced to sue the company for money owed so clearly this total will increase as I will be seeking interest and costs. If anyone is able to help or advise me on this please contact me!
Avoid this dreadful company and avoid endless heartache and costs due to their awful (and illegal) business practices and disregard for your goods and belongings.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
