Our host made us feel extremely welcome on arrival and was very helpful and easily contactable during our stay. We enjoyed the beautiful décor of the riad. The rooftop terrace is a great place to relax and the children especially loved the jacuzzi - which was warm even in February! I liked the riad's location in the heart of the Medina - the riad is a quiet haven from the bustling souks! We had a great stay. Thankyou
Philippe was a great host - helpful and always available. The riad is gorgeous and in the perfect location, quiet but just a couple of minutes away from the main square. Unfortunately the jacuzzi didn't work, which was a real shame, and the wifi was only repaired towards the end of our stay. However, our hosts more than made up for it and we had a great stay at this lovely riad. A word of warning: if you're heading to Marrakesh in the winter, beware that it gets very cold at night! Overall we loved this riad and would definitely recommend it.
Incredibly welcoming with a blazing fire and the wonderful smell of tagine coming from the kitchen. A perfect introduction to Marrakesh. Rooms were very comfortable. Bathrooms are lovely. Superb but peaceful, very central location. We'll be happy to stay there again on our next trip to Marrakesh.
The pictures accurately show this beautiful and peaceful riad, where I stayed with my friends. And the location couldn't be better, less than 5 minutes walk from the main square.
We had issues on the first night with hot water, and the heating, but Jean-Jacques solved it the next day.
Will recommend it to friends.
Jean was fantastic! He was readily available if we needed him. The riad is in a great location for exploring the medina and close to Taxi hubs. The place was very spacious for 7 people and we had a great time! Jean was very understanding of our flight changes and was so willing to help. Would definitely return!!
Jean Jacque's riad is absolutely beautiful and exactly how it looks in the pictures. It's in a great location in the heart of the medina, on a quiet street just a 5/10 minute walk from the main square. We were met on arrival and shown around as well as being called in on half way through the trip and again before we left. The only negatives are that the wifi doesn't work and we struggled to keep a constant temperature in the showers but these are both minor things. Don't hesitate to stay here, it's the perfect Marrakech experience.
De advertentie klopte met de werkelijkheid, misschien wel meer in positieve zin. Door weersomstandigheden kwamen we i.p.v. 13.00 uur om 23.00 uur aan in Marrakech en werden we warm welkom geheten door de chauffeur die ons naar Riad Dar Kamar bracht. Hier aangekomen stond het heerlijke eten klaar waardoor de verloren dag verdween. Jean Jacques helpt je graag de dagen door als je niet weet wat te doen, wat dat betreft had hij bij ons niet veel te doen maar het is een prettige (website hidden) deze dagen (4) besloten we zeker weer eens terug te komen en dit zonder twijfel.
This host has 37 reviews for other properties.

MERCER ISLAND, Wash. -- A mansion worth $28 million will be put up for auction next week.
The seven bedroom, 11 bathroom home offers a sprawling view of Lake Washington on 1.6 acres.
The home features an outdoor pool with water fountains, a 1,600 square-foot master bedroom, a children's wing, and an elevator that leads downstairs to a theater room.
The owners and realtor decided not to have a minimum starting bid because the home has been on the market for a short time and has not sold yet.
The home was originally priced at $32 million.
The auction begins at 2:00 p.m. next Tuesday, August 30, at the mansion. For more information, visit http://www.jpking.com

Wind parks and individual sites are usually financed externally. A popular model here is long-term project finance on a non-recourse basis, i.e. credit is provided solely against the equity, fixed assets and future cash flow of the wind park company, so that investors and operators are not exposed to any additional liability.
In collaboration with partner banks, we have already been successful in arranging and helping to organise project finance for more than 200 MW of output both at home and abroad. In doing so we have – whenever possible – made use of subsidised loans e.g. from the kfw banking group and we also have extensive expertise in this segment (application process, requirements, etc.).

Home Sales Overestimate 14 Percent Over Previous 3 Years
[We post a weekly column on local realtor Keith Byrd's Real Estate Blog in which we recap recent news of the economy, real estate, mortgage, and interest rates. What follows is that column.]
Home sales revised 14 percent downward over last three years.
The National Association of Realtors overestimated sales for the past three years and made a downward revision of its already depressed sales numbers. Specifically, sales were about 14 percent worse than previously thought, which comes out to 3.5 million units that were "double counted". You can read about the nuts and bolts of the mistake HERE, but the general explanation is that the numbers were "drifting" due to a big shift away from For Sale By Owner sales to Realtor sales. Homes sold by owners are not counted by the listing services tracked by the National Association of Realtors, so when a greater share of home sellers began using realtors (who use such listing services), that artificially increased home sale numbers.
CNBC's Diana Olick reported on the revision, and made a number of good points about the "meaning" of the lower numbers. She points out, rightly, that although fewer homes were in actuality sold, this doesn't change all that much, including:
- General sales rates were already low to begin with and at all-time lows.
- The estimates of home prices and their drop since 2006 won't change.
- The inventory of unsold homes in month's supply is still below average.
- New homes built are not affected.
Even more important for the health of the housing market, the number doesn't touch foreclosures or the number of borrowers behind on mortgage payments. Distressed borrowers and foreclosures are the main impediment to recovery.
All of this is a way of saying… don't worry too much about the news. The number could hurt perceptions of the housing market, but doesn't change the fundamentals of the crash, or the recovery we are starting to see today.
Jobless claims fall to a 3-year low.
Last week, unemployment claims dropped to the lowest level since April 2008. Claims fell by 4,000 to 364,000 for their third straight weekly drop. The number adds to the trend we have seen lately of positive job statistics.
A recovering economy?
Last week, the Associated Press ran an article detailing some of the positive economic metrics that suggest the probability of another recession is extremely low. The article stated that "most analysts now rule out another recession…" and that the "economy will grow at an annual rate of more than 3 percent from October through December." The article points to fewer unemployment benefit applications, more jobs added, more consumer spending, more consumer confidence, falling gas prices, and restocked inventories.
Interest rates continue to fall.
Last week, the 30-year fixed interest rate fell to 3.91 percent nationally, which is the lowest average rate for this fixed term since the 1950s. Many economists suggest that this rate could continue to fall. Central Coast Lending is able to beat this rate (we bring down the national average). We go as low as 3.5 percent for the 30 year fixed (3.612 percent APR) and 3 percent for the 15 year fixed (3.258 percent APR). Give us a call to discuss the points associated with those rates. Now that you are done with the shopping and gift giving of the holiday season, take advantage of these low rates to refinance and save on monthly payments.
Mortgage Matters 12/17/11
GUEST: Wes Burk – Owner, Patterson Realty
In the last Mortgage Matters of 2011, the Mortgage Experts get reflective. Momentum in the job market has built. Inflation rate has decreased. The stock market and bond market improve. In the last ten years, what products are more expensive and what products are cheaper? What will interest rates do in the New Year? What does it all mean? Patterson Realty Owner Wes Burk joins us to talk appraisals and the double-counting mistake in the National Association of Realtors home sales numbers.
Homeowners to Pay for Payroll Tax Cut Extension [UPDATE]
[We post a weekly column on local realtor Keith Byrd's Real Estate Blog in which we recap recent news of the economy, real estate, mortgage, and interest rates. What follows is that column.]
Happy holidays! We thought we would try a slightly different format this week. Let us know if you like the presentation.
Senate pays for payroll tax cut on the back of homeowners
[UPDATE: The House voted against this bill, so we are back to the drawing board. The following information will not apply, but is still an interesting proposal that may continue to come up in discussion.]
Over the last few weeks, we have been hearing quite a bit about the expiration of the payroll tax cut. The Senate renewed the lower rate, but it came with a price tag for homeowners. To pay for the $33 billion 2-percent payroll tax cut over the next two months, the Senate approved an increase in fees for mortgages backed by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).
The fee increase amounts to $15 a month more for a $200,000 mortgage ($180 a year) and $30 more for a $400,000 mortgage ($360 a year) and is built into the loan.
In addition to paying for the tax break, the fee is used to incentivize homeowners to get into the private market. Nearly nine in 10 mortgages are backed by a government sponsored finance organizations.
The two month savings for the cut is estimated to be $165 for someone making $50,000.
European debt trouble alarms markets
And now for your weekly "Europe debt issues" update – Fitch ratings announced it was considering cuts to the credit scores of Italy, Spain, Belgium, Cyprus, Ireland and Slovenia. Additionally, we received news that Ireland's economy shrunk, France faces a recession next year, Spain struggles to cut its debt, and bankers and hedge funds are balking at forgiving Greek debt for the purpose of a bailout. The market responded in kind with drops and general volatility.
Generally positive jobs statistics
California's unemployment rate dropped to 11.3 percent last month, which is its lowest since May 2009. The number is somewhat misleading, however, as the state only added 6,600 jobs. Much of the drop can be attributed to the unemployed leaving the workforce, and so are no longer counted under the metric.
Nationally, the jobs outlook is a bit better. We added 100,000 jobs for a five-month stretch from July through November for the first time since 2006, and more companies are planning to add jobs since 2008. Jobless claims dropped by 19,000 to 366,000 in the week ending on December 10 for the lowest level in 3 years.
SEC announces lawsuit of ex-Freddie and Fannie executives
The Securities and Exchange Commission decided to bring a lawsuit against six former top Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae executives for misleading investors about exposure to subprime loans. The action amounts to fraud charges for authorizing misleading statements about balance sheets.
Refinance activity increases
Last fall, interest rates took a plunge to some of the lowest ever and then shot up by Christmas time. This year, rates once again hit new lows, but with Christmas just under two weeks away, we are bucking the seasonal trend and still seeing historically low rates. Accordingly, refinance activity increased 9 percent last week.
Interest rates remain low for the holiday season
30 Year Fixed 3.750 percent (3.884 percent APR), 15 Year Fixed 3.250 percent (3.489 percent APR), 30 Year High Balance 3.750 percent (3.968 percent APR), 30 Year FHA 3.5 percent (4.543 percent APR), 30 Year VA 3.5 percent (3.736 percent APR).
Mortgage Matters 12/10/11
Sloooooow steady growth. That is the forecast for the coming year, as we have seen job growth begin to pick up. Jason and Dan have the studio to themselves for the second straight week, and the Mortgage Experts take advantage by discussing a range of topics, from a market recap, to interest rate trends, to the meaning of the no cost loan, to VA loan specifics.
Local Employment, Income Numbers and Rate Update
[We post a weekly column on local realtor Keith Byrd's Real Estate Blog in which we recap recent news of the economy, real estate, mortgage, and interest rates. What follows is that column.]
According to the Tribune, county employment numbers have gradually improved over the past three months. Since July, about 2,800 jobs have been added, which is an increase of 3 percent off the previous number. County employment peaked in 2007 at 104,600 nonfarm jobs. After October's gains, the number of jobs ticked up to 96,700, which is still down 8.2 percent from the peak. Despite the slight increase in jobs, unemployment actually increased to 9.7 percent from 9.6 percent in September.
The recession has hit the California middle class particularly hard. As reported by the Tribune, the Public Policy Institute of California released a study showing the proportion of "middle class" households has dropped to 49.7 percent of the population. Middle class is defined as a yearly income of between $44,000 and $155,000. The "upper class" accounts for 13.7 percent of households, and the "lower class" for 36.6 percent. Since peaking at 60 percent of the population in 1980, the California middle class has shrunk to the current 30 year low.
The Central Coast middle class has been hit the hardest in the state. Since 2007, median household income has declined by 17.9 percent.
Nationally, the unemployment rate is 8.6 percent. In a 60 Minutes interview, President Barack Obama indicated he thought it "possible" the rate would continue to decline and reach 8 percent come November election time. Election prognosticators say that unemployment and job numbers will play an important factor in the campaign, as Obama entered office with an 8 percent unemployment rate that has only gotten worse amidst the global economic crisis.
The Dow dropped today on – what else – concern about European debt. Last Friday, the 17 nations that use the euro currency agreed to a plan detailing more fiscal discipline, debt protection mechanisms, and to donate 200 billion euros to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to help eurozone members with debt problems. The market responded favorably to the announcement initially, but today (Monday) the Dow fell 162 points in part due to skepticism that the deal created a viable long-term solution. The drop ended a two week rally.
Rates are favorable this week. We have the 30 year fixed at 3.75 percent (3.884 percent APR) and the 15 year fixed at 3.250 percent (3.489 percent APR). FHA and VA 30-years look extremely favorable as well, at 3.5 percent (4.543 percent APR) and 3.5 percent (3.736 percent APR) respectively.
Labor Market Recovery Seems to be Picking up Steam
The labor market recovery seems to be picking up speed. Weekly US claims for unemployment benefits dropped to a 9-month low last week. Jobless claims fell to 23,000 to 381,000, down from 404,000 the week before.

Mortgage Matters 12/3/11
Interest rates remain unseasonably low and business remains robust in a typically down season… what does it mean? Dan and Jason have the studio to themselves this week and give you the latest from the market, interest rates, and real estate news.
Housing Numbers and Rate Update
[We post a weekly column on local realtor Keith Byrd's Real Estate Blog in which we recap recent news of the economy, real estate, mortgage, and interest rates. What follows is that column.]
This week, we begin with a variety of recent housing numbers.
To start, 65.1 percent of U.S. households own a home, which is the lowest mark since 1996 as reported by the Tribune, according to the Census Bureau. The bubble years helped peak home ownership above 70 percent.
Foreclosure inventory sits at a record high of 4.29 percent of all loans. The time it takes for a foreclosure to get through the legal system is 631 days, a record. Foreclosure properties sell at a discount and bring down prices of nearby homes. Depressed pricing depresses investment. The supply of foreclosure properties will need to be worked through as the housing market recovers.
October posted some gains for the housing market. New home sales increased 1.3 percent in the month, up to 307,000. Overall, pending home sales increased by 10.4 percent in October, which is the highest number in a year. While positive, the numbers are still well below healthy market expectations. Economists suggest a strong housing market would have 700,000 new home sales a month. On the negative side, we had a very small number of new homes hit the market in October – just 162,000. The number suggests builders have stopped new projects due to low demand, difficulty in obtaining financing, and a surplus of existing homes on the market.
Last week, the Dow logged large gains to erase the small mid-November slump. The largest gain occurred after major central banks around the globe took action to ease debt tension and make it cheaper and easier for banks to borrow dollars when needed. In practice, this means that European banks have better access to dollar liquidity – something they haven't had due to concern about the European debt issue and exposure to potential losses. This action is an attempt to avoid the kind of major credit crunch we saw in 2008, which would restrict lending and investment and shrink the global economy.
The nation's jobless rate fell to 8.6 percent in November. In some ways, the number is misleading. Employers added 120,000 jobs, true, but the 0.4% drop in the unemployment number is also due to the 315,000 people who stopped looking for work and left the workforce.
Rates have improved over the past week. Nationally, the average for the 30-year fixed is 4 percent and 3.35 percent for the 15-year fixed. At Central Coast Lending, we offer a 30-year fixed starting at 3.750 percent (3.892 percent APR) and a 15-year fixed at 3.250 percent (3.503 percent APR). Rates are always changing, so make sure you call Central Coast Lending at 805.543.LOAN for an update about any movement.

Had enough Windows 8 hate to digest? Too bad, 'cause here comes more.
Jakob Nielsen, a user interface expert at Nielsen Norman Group who has been working with user interfaces for years, conducted a test with people on Windows 8. What did he find? He found people have "a lot of struggles" with Windows 8, especially when switching between Windows 8's traditional desktop mode and the Start screen. This lead Nielsen to proclaim:
I just think when it comes to the traditional customer base, the office computer user, they're essentially being thrown under the bus.
Nielsen feels Windows 8 is fine for tablets but not traditional desktops and laptop. You know, something dotTech has said a few times now. Go figure.

Indeed, Win 7 is far superior, and for some cases, even Win XP Pro SP3 (as I'm running on my Asus eePC Netbook) is still superior to all of them. Problem is, as always : When you buy a new PC / Laptop at your local PC shop, they're sellling it with Windows pre-installed, and it's usually take it or leave it (and no real option to leave it, as all retailers do the same thing). And no price for guessing which version of Windows will in future be the pre-installed version …. and that willl be the numbers MS will throw around. Unless of course you build your own PC, and install your own preferred Windows version
Do you think Microsoft will finally get the hint tomorrow when they release 8 and sales are in the crapper?
Seems like every OTHER Windows version is decent. XP was Ok, Vista…? Not so much. Windows 7? Ok enough. 8? No idea yet. I am SO tired of learning curves!!! But then, that's the "new normal". (Also SO tired of that phrase!)
Will I switch to Win8? Likely, no–Win7 (and even XP) are doing me just fine.
But is it a fine enough interface? I'm sure it is–it just will take users a small amount of time to adjust to it, just as with any new software.
I have and will use the phrase, and would suggest that it is MS that will find itself on the pavement when enterprise users pass on this idiocy. Can only hope that personal users do the same. Otherwise there's gonna be one hell of a line at the return counter at the local big-box stores. Guess MS's feeling is that every generation should have a WindowsME of it's very own. Kinda amusing watching the 3rd party software developers racing to market programs that strive to make it actually, ya know,workable as a desktop machine OS.
"I just think when it comes to the traditional customer base, the office computer user, they're essentially being thrown under the bus."
While I never used the term "thrown under the bus" that is, more or less, exactly what I have been saying all along re desktops and laptops.
Rob (Down Under)
Have never used 'thrown under the bus'. Perhaps it is not used in Australia ?
However if I ever came across people who blindly accepted all the arrogant changes MS have been increasingly foisting upon us, I reckon they should be 'thrown under a bus'. -
Can we all agree to throw the phrase, "thrown under the bus", under the bus. How overused is this. Bury it along with "out of the box", "new paradigm" and so many others.
I could mention Windows bashing too. It's now our national sport. Those that can't bash those who can (and do). Very stale and unbecoming.
I agree, been testing it in virtual box..and for desktops windows 7 wins hands down

"Just send me some information"
Hear this all the time? Then change your approach
Liz WendlingOne of the biggest sales objections heard around the world is "Can you send me some information?" It pops up early and often.
What do you do now? Should you reach for the stamp and lick the envelope, or save your saliva?
If your response to send me some information is "Sure, what's your address?", you're done. You lost control and most likely the business. Most of the time potential customers are blowing you off and but can't or won't tell you no. If you're consistently being met with "Send me some information," that's a red flag that your initial approach is weak, ineffective and not customer-focused. You're getting that response because every word out of your mouth prior to that objection was off track. When you use flawed opening value statements, you give your power away and lose the opportunity.
The reason why is not obvious because salespeople have never been trained in a proper, more efficient way. They think they need to be more persistent, consistent and enthusiastic. They keep trying a strategy does not work.
The quickest and most effective way to get rid of a salesperson is to pull out the most popular and over used one-liner; "Send me some information." It's been working for decades. It works because as soon people use it, you disappear. It's like a magic trick and it works every time. If you don't probe farther and ask a few qualifying questions, then prepare yourself and suit up to play the sales chasing game. It's a game where salespeople waste endless amounts of time and energy on people who had no interest in the first place.
Here's what usually happens in a version of the sales chasing game. You take the bait and eagerly send out information about your company, wait a few days, make several attempts to get them on the phone, leave a few messages, maybe even send a few emails, and right after you catch your breath from the chase, you attempt to leave one more voice mail and hope that you connect. You can never win at this exhausting game.
There are many ways to uncover if someone is trying to blow you off and get rid of you. Your approach is everything. If you continue using the same tactic and keep hearing the same answer, I encourage you to stop and take a good look at why. We all know that continuing to repeat the same actions but expecting different results is insanity. When you change your approach, you change your results.
Every business is different, and every business should have a customized approach. One version is try to uncover what's behind the objection and ask questions and dig a little deeper. When you dig, you get answers. When you ask, you get clarity. When you get clarity, you can decide if there's a reason to move forward or not.
Keep in mind there are dozens of way to handle this scenario. Try something like this, "I'd be happy to send some information however the services we offer are targeted to our clients' specific needs, so it's difficult to get that in a brochure. Brochures can't answer the questions to your specific and unique needs. Is there something specific you would like to see or help me understand exactly what information would be useful to you?" That is just one of many.
If they can't describe their area of interest, it means you haven't identified their problems or issues or they simply aren't interested. If they can give you specifics and the interest is there, then by all means lick and envelope and send the information. If they can't elaborate on why you should send information and you sense a blow off, save your saliva and move on. Either way, you have a better idea of where you stand. A quick rejection is better than playing the chasing game. Celebrate the speedy rejection and move on to a real opportunity.
It's up to you to find out who is genuinely interested from those who are interested in getting rid of you.

Justin reportedly cheated on Selena Gomez with 22-year-old model (slash nursing student) Milyn Jenson in Dec. 2012!
If these allegations prove to be true, we doubt Selena Gomez will ever want to get back together with Justin Bieber. (No wonder she's been ignoring his texts!) The Biebs had a wild night with 22-year-old nursing student Milyn "Mimi" Jenson, according to a new report from Star, and things allegedly got pretty hot between the two of them.
Lil Twist and Milyn reportedly picked up Justin from the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills on Dec. 21, and after grabbing some late-night noms at McDonald's, the trio high-tailed it to Justin's new $6.6 million manion in Calabasas, Calif.
(And yes, this was just after Justin and Selena went on a romantic ski trip in Salt Lake City!)
"He was really kind and and romantic" to Milyn, the source claims, adding that the 22 year old "had a huge crush on him." But more importantly, the source explains, Justin "acted like he was [single.]"
After the gang returned to the Four Seasons around 11 p.m., the source claims Justin and Milyn engaged in quite a bit of sexual activity — we'll leave out the exact activity because, you know, it's gross — but that Justin refused to kiss her on the mouth. (Just like in Pretty Woman!)
"[Milyn] was hurt at the time, but now she believes that he was feeling guilty about cheating on Selena," the source says.
When contacted by HollywoodLife.com, a rep for Justin had no comment.
Justin Bieber's Been Accused Of Cheating With Models Before
Though Justin's cheating has never been proven, it's clear Selena no longer trusts her ex-boyfriend, as she gave a super-emotional rendition of Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me A River" on Jan. 19 at a benefit concert for UNICEF.
"It wasn't like you only talked to her and you know it," Selena sang to the crowd.
But was Selena referring to Milyn, or Barbara Palvin, the 19-year-old Victoria's Secret model Justin was seen going to The Lion King with in 2012?

Remember the story of the other chic who lied about an encounter with Justin-Yeater. Yet, we keep hearing unsubstantiated stories that some without critical thinking accept readily without additional proof. this kid is made up by gossip sites to be white trash which he definitely is not.
I hate Hollywood life !!

Oh Gosh, first of all she looks like a slut…like Justin, IF you cheated on Selena, at least do it with some hot chick instead of this…Second of all, I don't think is true cause just a few days before Justin was with Selena in Utah and when she left, he really missed her so they didn't have a fight or something, means Justin had no reason to cheat on Selena and how many "reason" had HL for "the break up" of Justin and Selena…I mean c'mon, they're probably still together and I tell y'all right now, don't even believe HL when it comes to Selena's and Justin's break up okay?

And s
that exact day he was with sel in Utah on a double date with haylor (harry styles and taylor swift) and then he and sel parted ways as they went to their families for the holidays then broke up after the christmas holidAy when justin took sel to meivo for the New Years then they has this explosive fight which lead to this break up
No cheating , no drugs and no sexual activity involved in their relationship
And yes he did smoke a small Marjuana in a little get together with his friend lol fist and other people but a small Marjuana is nothing
It's less harm then a small cigar or a tobbacca or even alcohol
It's true it's less harm then social drinking lol
Scientists got proof
But he only smoked once so yeah he's still that little childish kid u always knew
Posted at 9:47 PM on January 23, 2013
seriously stop the HATE! all of the media outlets reporting FALSE stories listen up! these stories are beyond NEGATIVE. they HURT all who are involved, and all of JB & Sel's fans/friends/families….if you think about it, you're just perpetuating more HATE and BULLYING around the world, and Lord knows there's already plenty of that to go around. HL YOU ARE A BUNCH OF BULLIES!!!! what a horrible example to people of all ages who read your "news"

100% agree!!! Are there even any "tabloid" sites out there like that? That are 100% positive and only print TRUE and POSITIVE stories? What a great idea!!! Someone should start one…………..The writers (and I use that word very loosely) at HL can't even spell half the time, much less put out REAL stories! How can they even call themselves journalists? It's pathetic.

Look at his twitter. Or the tabloids. He was in Canada with his family and best friend Ryan Butler on Dec 21st. This is just another "model" trying to get fame by lying about JB b/c she knows stories about him, true or not, get published so fast. For that matter, I doubt Biebs ever even cheated with that VS model. He can be a brat, and he IS an 18 year old hearthrob, and ya, he's ALWAYS been flirty. But he LOVES selena and would never even know what to do with a random girl. He doesn't like aggressive women. He respects women and is a romantic. Anyone who really knows anything about Bieber knows that. Not all the BS that's constantly out there about him.
Posted at 1:14 PM on January 23, 2013
Thank u some much u just made my day
He was in Utah with selly and haylor on that day and then he went to Canada where he took a pic with jazzy and said my luv in the caption
He was NEVER with that VS model
I mean even if he cheated with a model it would likely be barbara because he knows her but she said nothing happened and had a full proof story about what actually happened s no he was with selly then he went to Canada for the holidays duh!

6 bold predictions for the NFL season
04 Sep 14Six bold predictions for the 2014 NFL season
Which rookie QB will start, a surprise winner in the NFC West and more.
Which rookie QB will start, a surprise winner in the NFC West and more.
Get caught up with the biggest storylines in the NFL Friday.
These five players will hear from the NFL disciplinary board soon. How will it affect their teams?
It's unlikely LB Aldon Smith will be in the San Francisco 49ers' lineup at the start of the season.
San Francisco 49ers LB Aldon Smith faces the possibility of spending four years in jail after pleading no contest to three felony charges and a misdemeanor.
Aldon Smith believes his recent run-ins with the law haven't been accurately portrayed and he still has the full support of the San Francisco 49ers.
Despite Aldon's Smith's off-the-field troubles, the 49ers decided to exercise the fifth-year option on the outside linebacker's rookie contract.
Aldon Smith's weekend arrest certainly calls into question his future with the 49ers.
San Francisco 49ers LB Aldon Smith was arrested Sunday by the Los Angeles Police Department.
Tonight's Monday night football game isn't a pivotal game of two potential playoff foes. That doesn't mean it's not worth watching.
Aldon Smith appeared in his first game with the 49ers since returning from substance abuse rehab. Why did he play so little?
UPDATE: 49ers' coach stated Smith will play some this Sunday against the Panthers.
Walk-off safeties, epic Twitter rants, unteachable know-it-alls, and more from today in the NFL. Click MORE to catch up on everything you need to know.
The 49ers announced that they have activated OLB Aldon Smith from the NFI list. He's eligible to play when San Francisco returns from its bye next week.
Smith visited the team's facilities after an extended leave of absence. Will he return?
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Aldon Smith's decision to enter rehab "will be a factor" in the league possibly suspending him.
"Sources told the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit the Santa Clara County District Attorney has filed three felony charges of possession of assault weapons against 49ers All-Pro Linebacker Aldon Smith."
"San Francisco is paying Aldon Smith his normal salary this week, with the Pro Bowl pass rusher leaving the team Sunday to begin his in-patient rehab following a second DUI arrest."
"There's a process and we'll respect that process." 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh on if Aldon Smith will play again this year
From the 49ers' feed on Twitter: "According to Jed York, Aldon Smith will not play on Thursday." From Aldon Smith: "I want to apologize. I will work to get it fixed."

Generic Name | Brand Name |
oxaliplatin | Eloxatin |
How It Works
Oxaliplatin interrupts cancer cell growth and slows the spread of cancer cells in the body. Oxaliplatin is available for use by intravenous (IV) injection.
Why It Is Used
Oxaliplatin is used in combination with fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin for treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. Oxaliplatin is also used to treat advanced ovarian cancer.
In clinical trials, the combination of oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin, known as FOLFOX, shows promising results as treatment after surgery for stage II and stage III colorectal cancer.1
How Well It Works
Studies show that oxaliplatin may be effective in stopping some cancer cell activity that is resistant to some other anticancer drugs, such as cisplatin and carboplatin. It is most effective when it is used in combination with 5-FU and leucovorin. Test results show that this combination can be effective in slowing growth of the cancer.2
Side Effects
Oxaliplatin can cause serious side effects, including:
- An allergic reaction.
- Numbness, burning, and tingling.
- Loss of feeling.
- Mild, moderate, or severe pain.
- Decreased bone marrow function.
- Sores in the mouth or throat.
- Severe vomiting or diarrhea.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Early results from recent studies suggest that the combination of oxaliplatin, 5-FU, and leucovorin may be effective in slowing cancer cell activity in advanced colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.2

Well, Andrew Bynum is Mr. Glass too… But the other way! And he's also Mr. Franchise Killer, as the Cavs had to suspend him just to get him to stay out of the stadium. "Hey Andrew, leave the HurryCane at home today, we don't wanna keep paying the stadium workers to put down the handicap ramps!" Just saves money across the board. Once Bynum gets waived, I think even Obama will be shaking his head at Bynum's healthcare bills. Anyway, the obvious benefactor to that whole mess is Anderson Varejao, who after his dominating 18/25 game last night has double-digit boards in 4 of the last 5. Varejao was cleaning up the glass like he was the Unbreakable one! The leading rebounder in the NBA last year before he got hurt (at a ridiculous 14.4 a game), Varejao should be a monster in 2014. Although it does help when Nikola Vucevic is hurt and the starting center against you is Jason Maxiell. Hell, I coulda had a double double against them last night! And I don't even have Jerry Curls! Here's what else I saw last night across the NBA:
Please, blog, may I have some more?J.R. Smith
I trust everyone has been a good boy or girl this year, and has sent their wish list to Santa already, right? I have it on good authority that jolly old St. Nick is a huge NBA fan, so naturally I suggest you ask for fantasy help. And I have a strategy: bear in mind, if you ask for too much, you get burned for being greedy, and you will get coal bricks under your tree (like Drummond at the free throw line, amirite?? Awful, sorry.). So, that in mind, I'm simply asking for dimes. I need help with assists in my 2 leagues, I took Kyrie in both leagues, and he is not exactly packing that stat line, I have Jameer, and he's been on and off the court… well, whining to you guys won't do anything about it. But whining to Santa will. It has to, as there is no quality points on my waiver. And with that let me bend your eyeballs to a few guys that might make excellent stocking stuffers:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Now I'm not sure about this, but when Taj Gibson had a couple good games over the Thanksgiving week, I probably recapped and gobble-gobbled at it. My jowls flapped around like Boss Nass bein' all "Hmmpphhherr Rumpity-Doooo, Taj Gibson, rabble rabble rabble!" At least that sounds like me… Now you see what I deal with in my inner monologue! It's like I battle a drunk Kenny Rogers. Which is to say, I battle Kenny Rogers. Gibson has been a scrate-up beast the past four, going 23/8, 18/4, 26/14 5 blks, and 19/6/0/1/1 last night. Bringing big time energy to that front line as the main big off the bench, he's playing insane out there, shooting 67% from the floor in those past 4. I watched the game last night and was impressed with his spark, but then again, the Heat bigs are awful. They got out-rebounded 49-27 last night! Back in the day, I used to love Taj when Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah battled injuries. But now… it took some time and four in a row to buy it. I think it's because the Bulls are my least favorite team. Sorry Bulls fans! Boozer & Noah just yell on virtually every rebound and definitely every single putback attempt. It's unreal! It's like Maria Sharapova is rebounding. And Gibson does it at least 50% of the time. He's becoming the Bulls Sex Panther. "50% of the time he's yelling… every time!" But regardless of how annoying he/the Bulls bigs are to watch/listen to, he's playing like a must-own in all formats. At 33% owned in Yahoo and 24% in ESPN, he's hot while a lot guys are not. I don't think he's going to turn into a set-it and forget-it guy the rest of the year, he doesn't do enough of anything else besides score and board (if not for that 5 block game, he'd be under 1 in Asts, Stls & Blks on the year), but I think he's a ride the wave kinda add right now. Here's what else I saw on the light Thursday slate of games and a few updates for tonight:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sorry Bargs, it's not "Il Mago" you're "Il Diva". After whining about playing time in Toronto saying he wanted to play somewhere warmer to the Italian media, the obvious answer is the tropical climate of New York City. Il Diva disappeared in his final year in Toronto, playing under 30 minutes a game for the first time since 07-08. His FG% fell to a career-second worse, the 3PT% second worst and tied a career-worst in rebounding. After 35 games, they cut open his elbow and he cut his ties with the great country of Canadia (sp?). Enter 2013-14 and Bargnani was coming off the bench, and Knicks fans were even booing him after one quarter. Welcome to the Big Apple! I saw some early Knicks action as well, and Bargnani looked as bad as Amar'e Stoudemire. Hey-o! But then Tyson Chandler went down with the broken leg, thrusting Il Diva into a starting role. At that point, I put no stock in either Bargs or Amar'e, but Bargnani has been able to prove something to me: he needs big minutes to be able to do anything. And it's not a per/48 thing, it's getting comfortable in the game. Through this season, in the 5 games he's under 30 minutes he's shooting 48.8% for 10.2/1.4/0.4 with 0.8 threes a game. And didn't log a single block. In 3 games over 30 minutes, he's 53.8% 23/7.7/1.7 2.3 Blks and 2.7 threes a game. Even at per/48 rates and taking into account the small sample, the disparity is shocking. Since Chandler is out a good while healing up the broken leg and Amar'e is just a huge contract sitting on the bench, Bargnani is going to get huge minutes (almost always over 30) and continue this run. "Let me play lots or else I stand around!" Must own in all leagues, a statement I made last week and confirmed with another 24/4 line with three threes and a block last night. Here's what else I saw in last night's action:
Please, blog, may I have some more?In yet another bad turn for fantasy top-100 Cs, JaVale McGee joins the triage with Tyson Chandler as centers with broken legs. However unlike Chandler with the impact fracture, McGee discovered a stress fracture in his tibia with the ominous "out indefinitely" declaration. It's a very tough break (ugh) for the Nuggets and fantasy owners hoping to see stat lines of 10/10/5 when the Nuggets were on the slate. All joking aside, I hate seeing players get injuries and it's my least favorite open in news recaps in any sport. There are a select few that are funny (my favorite will always be Bartolo Colon trying to swing for the fences and throwing out his back, and I have little sympathy because he's a roider), but I wish McGee a speedy recovery. For fantasy, he's droppable in virtually all leagues. A tall guy with a stress fracture isn't swell, plus he was only playing 16 minutes a game anyway. J.J. Hickson and Tomfey Mozgov get immediate boosts in value, Mozgov is decent when he's not getting posterized, but Hickson I think is the biggest takeaway and probably should be scooped up in most leagues if he's not owned already. He proved he can be valuable with starting minutes and is a quality big man. Here's some other headlines from over the weekend:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Man, what a huge night it was across the NBA with nearly every team in action. It obviously all starts with the shocker Philly put on the Heat, and Michael Carter-Williams' unreal debut. I was following with my co-workers during the game and tweeted that if he got a triple-double in his first NBA game, the universe would implode. Thankfully MCW was a steal short and we're all still here. His final line of 6-10 (4-6 3PTM 6-8 FT) 22 Pts 7 Rebs 12 Asts and 9 Stls might actually win some owners their matchups this week on its own. Just preposterous. Most steals in NBA history in a player's debut. Ok before we all go nutso, remember the Heat played without Dwayne Wade (rest), don't have a PG, and had all their hands weighed down with new championship rings. So that's not really an excuse, but so what?! The shooting efficiency was fantastic (the biggest knock on him coming into the year), plus he had only one turnover (his second main knock). "Nice knockers!" Thanks Young Frankenstein! MCW indeed moves up a fair bit in value in my eyes, but this is likely his best line on the year. MCW was wildly inconsistent in college and I don't expect much consistency on a terrible 76ers team (I know they just beat the Heat, but c'mon). Look for John Wall to lock him up on Friday and cool the hype. Despite inconsistencies, it goes without saying that MCW should be owned in all leagues now (78% Yahoo, 59.4% ESPN), so if for some reason he's available in your league, you gotta get him. I'm not expecting MCW to be an elite player, but will continue to contribute even in down games. Here's what else I saw across Fantasy Basketball last night:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Listen, I know a lot of drafts have gone down, but I think we're still right in the sweet spot of the drafting season. And while we're in that sweet spot, why not start up an RCL Hoops league where we need more commishes! I am putting an embargo on comments unless you start up a league! Haha – kidding. But what's less funny is the curse of my love for Trey Burke, as he's going to have surgery on his index finger. "Don't you point at me!" "I can't help it, it's the cast!" The original report of him missing 8-12 weeks had him a 100% no bueno in my book, but then he tweeted out (I guess using other fingers) that it should only be 4-6 weeks. Apparently he'll be in a splint three weeks and will be reevaluated. As in – "my fingy still hurty!" I'm moving Burke way down and taking it as a sign to completely cool off my love for him. As in Arnold in the last bad Batman movie cool. "Tonight's forecast – a freeze is coming in!" John Lucas III becomes the starting PG it appears in most games and probably needs to be owned in deeper leagues, but I wouldn't drop someone that good for him. Lucas III didn't crack the updated rankings because I don't see season-long impact from him. Alec Burks could start some games at the point as well, and remains ranked as I think he plays both guard positions and minutes all year. That is despite a horrible 1-13 shooting performance last night… The Jazz are also re-evaluating trading for the Bulls' Marquis Teague in a possible trade. Then there's a rumor that free agent Jamaal Tinsley might also get signed. Sounding more and more like the Jazz PG is going to be a black hole this season. So I'm avoiding them all, but still holding Burke in 12+ team leagues (like my 1st RCL League) and hoping. Here's what else has been going down through the preseason, and a final rankings update:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Maybe because I didn't follow the NBA preseason as closely last year as I was working exclusively on Football, but I feel like there's been a lot more preseason injuries in only the first week of action than in year's past. Then again, Rodney Stuckey wasn't even on the court, and slammed his thumb in his car door and needs surgery. It's gonna make for a hell of a hitchhiking thumb in that cast! What it is with Detroit athletes and getting hurt in their cars? Not even a month ago Nate Burleson broke his arm reaching over to keep some boxes from falling and slamming into the median. All Detroit athletes need to avoid using motor vehicles. Maybe that's proof right there Obama shouldn't have bailed out GM. Give them all mopeds. Oh wait, yeah that won't work, will is Monta Ellis? Maybe segways? I've got it! Just tell Andre Drummond he has to carry every Detroit athlete to where they need to go until his FT% goes above 50. He'll be like a Detroit athlete tauntaun. See, tell me why I'm not an NBA coach. I already had moved Kentavious Caldwell-Pope way up before the Stuckey injury with how the Pistons coaching staff was praising him, and look for KCP to move to right around 100 overall in my next rankings update. Here's what else went down since we last looked in at preseason action:
Please, blog, may I have some more?After re-ranking the top 10, top 20, and top 50, it's easy to see there's been big changes since last May. Below are the Razzball Updated Rankings with the previous May rankings in parentheses before the adjusted rank:
(68) ↑ 51. Derrick Favors – Utah declining to bring back either Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap gives you a slight inclination on their thoughts on Favors, and they're already talking contract extension with their emerging big as well. I love his athleticism, and if I miss out on Serge Ibaka who I'm high on early, I'm gonna want to reach on Favors to win blocks. I think he'll be a top-5 NBA swatter.
(51) 52. Kemba Walker – Kemba has been higher on virtually every rankings I've seen, and I'm just not top-50 high on him. He had a really solid season last year, but the terrible FG% still worries me as I feel like he forces some offense. The acquisition of Big Al is going to give the Bobcats/soon-to-be Hornets an actual scorer down, and I don't think that translates into helping Kemba all that much. I like Gerald Henderson a lot too to take a bigger scoring role. The 2.0 steals a game last year was elite, but I see those going down along with the scoring, and a comparable 5.7:2.4 Ast:TO ratio. All that spells a slightly down ranking for me. Although to be fair, he's played in every single Bobcats game in his career, so there's that reliability that can't be ignored.
Please, blog, may I have some more?The period of free agency continues to shape the fantasy basketball-scape with fresh meat on terrible teams and players signing with contenders to be relegated to bench duty. With baseball in fun swing and the NFL getting half of the ESPN air time no matter what time of year it is, a lot of NBA moves have been made under the radar. Look for every division to get a team-by-team breakdown and some early fantasy thoughts on the new faces in new places:

FileStream Image Broadway review
Although it's billed as a photo editor, FileStream's Image Broadway does a lot more than touch up your photos.

Columnist Says Dolphins Full of "Thugs and Hoodlums"
Categories: Sports
Defensive end Phillip Merling was arrested last week for hitting his pregnant girlfriend, while the couple's four-mount-old son sat in another room.
"He hit me about five times in my face. Please help. He's way bigger than me," the woman cried to 911 and also indicated it wasn't the first time Merling was physical.
One day after his release from jail Merling was back at camp, and now the Fins are perhaps rightfully taking a media bruising for treating the situation lightly.
Alex Marvez, who used to cover the team for the Sun-Sentinel, says the Dolphins are now the new bad boys of the NFL. Just about the only stat they lead the league in is off-season arrests. As horrifying as the situation sounds, the franchise's callousness toward the matter is almost as scary. Sparano proclaimed he wasn't a "judge" after speaking with Merling. Sparano also said the Dolphins were "trying to gather facts, but it really is a league situation right now. The league is handling this."Not exactly the program Bill Parcells promised when he said he didn't want any "thugs and hoodlums" on the squad back in 2007.
This pass-the-buck mentality helps explain why the Dolphins have supplanted Cincinnati and Pittsburgh as the NFL's new bad boys.

Generator Hostels Will Open In Paris And Rome Next Year
Call us snobs, but London goes better with Paris and Rome than with Hamburg and Copenhagen. We�re not the only ones who think so, either � Generator Hostels are opening properties in the City of Light/Eternal City next year.
Generator Paris (above) will be the largest Generator to date, with 950 beds in the 10th arrondissement (AKA the Canal St Martin nabe). It�ll be designed by Toronto-based Anwar Mekhayech, who�s also worked for Soho House and Momofuku, and will include a caf�-lounge and an intimate bar�. Prices will start from �25 for a dorm and �98 for a private ensuite room (for two people). Pretty decent, for Paris.

And There Will Be More Andazms After All
Last week, we wondered if there were any more Andaz Hotels on the horizon, aside from the upcoming Munich and Bali properties (which, TBH, had us plenty excited.) As it turns out, we will be having multiple Andazms once again.
A helpful hotel insider reminded us of some rumored Andaz locations that we've already heard about but with some updates. (Yup, we got intimate with Andaz and forgot about it.)
Andaz New Delhi: But apparently, it's near an airport so only for quickies. No opening date yet.
Andaz Mayakoba: It is still expected to open in mid-2015 but we haven't heard much new on the property since it was announced. We'll file this under "Back-Up Andazms."
Andaz Paris: Oui! Andaz Paris should open after the Hyatt Hotel du Louvre gets renovated. However, the renovations have not begun so we'll have to put that cigar on ice.
In the meantime, you can hit up the brand-new Andaz Tokyo for your Andaz fix.
Got any more inside info on how to get with an Andaz? Hand it over.

This New Paris Hotel Should Bring Panache To The City Of Light
The City of Light is a cruel mistress. She taunts us by opening amazing hotels we can never afford (like the Peninsula) and gets us all steamed up wanting to visit. She tantalizes us with �1 hotel deals, but only for a few weeks. And then she goes silent on new, but affordable, openings.
But word has reached us of an opening that has style, joie de vivre, je ne sais quoi and, erm, panache. Hotel Panache will open early next year in the 9th arrondissement, in the Grand Boulevards neighborhood (close to the Folies Berg�res).
Formerly the three star Hotel Madrid Opera (which is now closed), it�s being done by the team behind the nearby Hotel Paradis, with design by Doroth�e Meilichzon. Info is limited so far, but we know that the Panache will have 45 rooms �with big suites�, a restaurant and � the best bit � a cinema room.

The Penisula Paris Is On Display At Harrods London
It may take another half decade for Peninsula Hotels and Harrods to become permanent neighbors, when The Peninsula London opens in the department store�s Knightsbridge �hood, but that isn�t stopping the two brands collaborating this fall.
Until October 7, one of the department store�s window displays features the above shot of The Peninsula Paris, which we showed you when we previewed the hotel in June, along with six digital windows featuring images of the building on Avenue Kl�ber.
During the month of October, more visuals from Paris are projected on four screens placed near some of the store�s entrances and escalators; perhaps a way to tie you over until you�ve found that $1,000+ it takes to stay the night. The display also contains a miniature version of the �Dancing Leaves� Lasvit installation found in the lobby of the hotel.

Mind Your Head or Leave The Light On At Hotel Saint-Merry
Welcome to Funky Friday, a new segment we�re trying out which features one photo that we think singularly expresses a hotel�s inner psyche. We look for, and often find, a lot of wacky, wild and wondrous designs that seem to have one thing in common: a Type A personality. So why not have a bit of fun as we all wrap up our week by taking a quick look at some hotels that quite frankly, want our attention.
Now here�s a hotel room you can't miss, but should probably try to if spending the night.
The Hotel Saint-Merry is a 12-room boutique located in the former presbytery (high-ranking clergy quarters) of the Church Saint-Merry in Paris� Marais District. The elaborate, often over the top, Church Saint-Merry was named for Saint Merri, the patron saint of the Right Bank, which seems fitting given the church's rich decorations and accessories.
Referred to as the little sister to nearby Notre Dame Cathedral, this church had money to spend on extravagant materials such as marble and carved stone, intricate woodwork and a little gold paint here and there. It's a pretty spiffy space for a hotel to be attached to, historically and physically. But those giant stone beams above the bed do cause some issues.

Hotel Indigo Paris Opera: No Longer a Phantom, Opening Next Week
UPDATE: As per Maxime's comment below, this is NOT the Hotel Edouard, which remains open. Our source was wrong, sorry.
It�s stayed so under the radar during its pre-opening period that you could practically call Hotel Indigo Paris � Opera a phantom. But now it�s time for the great unmasking, since the hotel will open 22 September.
There�s not a vast amount of information about � 57 rooms (�very spacious�, according to the hotel website) including 12 suites and duplex apartments � some of which have views of the Eiffel Tower. The location is peaceful: a pedestrianized street near Place de l�Op�ra, yet still in the middle of the business area. Before the year-long remodel, it was the Edouard VII hotel.
Rooms promise "unique murals celebrating Paris" and from the photos, they look rather lovely - theatrical but understated, with feature walls draped by curtains.

Quelle Horreur! Alain Ducasse Is Turning The Plaza Athen�e Pescatarian
If there�s one thing you can say about French restaurants, it�s that they�re not exactly known for being vegetarian-friendly *tries to expunge traumatic memories from teenage school trips from head*. Which makes this news even more spectacular: When Alain Ducasse reopens his eponymous restaurant at the Plaza Athen�e today, the emphasis will be on vegetarian and pescatarian food. (Please note: this could also be a sign of the impending apocalypse.)

Amsterdam, New York, and Paris Are All Next For The Hoxton
Having just taken you inside The Hoxton Holborn, opening on September 25, we�re continuing as promised with an update on the international expansion of the brand, which will include Amsterdam, New York, and Paris within the next two years.
First up is The Hoxton Amsterdam, which as we looked at earlier this year will open in what was the Rembrandt Classic Hotel on the city�s Herengracht canal. While our January snap showed guests walking in and out, the hotel has been closed since April for its much-needed renovation to Hoxton standards. Opening should be in 2015.

Mandarin Oriental Paris Wants You To Selfie Your Way Around The City Of Light
If you thought a designated selfie spot was as vain as things get, think again. Not to be outdone by the Athenians, the Parisians, those undisputed global masters of the pout, have come up with a �selfie package�. This has to be at somewhere millennial or ironic, right? Mama Shelter? Citizen M? Pas du tout! It�s at the Mandarin Oriental. Le selfie 'as well and truly landed.
The Selfie in Paris package nets you a room with breakfast, plus three hours in a private car � with driver and in-car WiFi. The hotel will also provide you with a list of the finest selfie backdrops in Paris, including �lesser known vantage points�, �romantic backdrops� and �other imaginative city sites that provide the perfect backdrop for self expression�.
Secretly thinking this sounds great but outwardly embarrassed about booking a package that�s all about vanity? Here�s your excuse. Any photos you upload on your journey from October to January that are taken at approved MO Selfie Spots, posted on social media and tagged appropriately (full details here) will be entered into a monthly competition to win a one night stay at the Mandarin Oriental.
So really, the Selfie in Paris package is just the cheapest way of staying, right?

The Verdicts Are In For Peninsula Paris, And They're Mixed
It�s been open a full two weeks now, and although we haven�t quite found the $1000 to stay at Peninsula Paris (give us another week or 500), others have � and a newspaper has checked it out too. Here�s what they say about the $999,000,000 project.
The 26 TripAdvisor reviews are mixed, leaning towards the negative � though a good tranche are from people who�ve just eaten, rather than stayed at the hotel.

How To Stay The Night In Paris For �1
The problem with Paris isn�t the famously rude service. It isn�t the highly priced, indigestible food. It isn�t even the lines of tourists snaking round the corner at every vaguely visitable site. No, the problem with Paris is that you pretty much have to remortgage your house for every night you stay there.
That�s why we were so delighted with the arrival of citizenM � it may be at Charles de Gaulle airport, but on ne peut sniffer pas at starting rates of �67.15 ($90).
But now a group of five Parisian hotels has gone one better, with a temporary project called Payez Ce Que Vous Voulez � yes, really, pay what you want. Even if that�s �1 ($1.34). Think of it as a pop-up affordable Paris project.
The hotels are a clutch of three and four star properties in the Op�ra district (pretty central, if not particularly beautiful), and according to their project website, you�re invited to evaluate their �welcome, quality of service, room comfort and decoration� and then pay up accordingly on departure.

Dominic Wilcox is in top form with two new pieces just in time for the London Design Festival. There is more than just a hint of nature in both concepts. One is a gentle field made of 400 eco-friendly shoes above (yes, you read that correctly), with the laces reaching towards the light. Field was created by using Terra Plana shoes for an installation at the Dock. Wilcox's Luxury Skimming Stones link earth and sea, with added value. A limited edition of twenty stones from Italy and the U.K. are covered in gold leaf and tucked into a made-to-measure leather belt pouch. This update on an old favourite will be featured in the Made by YCN exhibition on Rivington St. Will those stones ever get wet again?
Skimming Stones, "24ct gold leafed skimming stones complete with individually made to fit leather belt pouch. Each stone was hand picked by Dominic Wilcox as stones he would like to skim on his travels through Italy and the UK."
