The board's proposition on an authorization for the board to acquire and transfer treasury shares (item 14)
The board proposes that the AGM authorizes the board to acquire and transfer treasury shares according to the following. Acquisitions of shares may only be made on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm (the "Marketplace") or in accordance with an offer to all shareholders in the company. Acquisition may only be made of such amount of shares that the Company's holding of treasury shares at each time does not supersede ten per cent of all shares in the Company. Transfer of shares may be made in other ways than on the Marketplace, including a right to deviate from the shareholders preferential rights and that payment may be made by other means than by cash. A maximum of ten per cent of the total number of the shares in the Company may be transferred. The authorization stated above may be utilized on one or several occasions up until the annual general meeting 2015. Acquisitions of shares on the Marketplace may only be made at a price within the registered price interval at the Marketplace. Transfer of shares in connection with acquisitions of businesses may be made at a market price estimated by the board.
The purpose of the authorization above to acquire and transfer shares is to continuously be able to adjust the capital structure of Enea AB to the capital needs of Enea AB, to enable financing, in whole or in part, in connection with acquisitions of businesses and for securing available shares in previously adopted stock purchase plan the proposed (item 19) employee stock purchase plan 2014.
Decisions following this item on the agenda require support of shareholders representing at least 2/3 of both cast votes as well as the shares represented at the meeting.
The board's proposition on guidelines for remuneration to senior management (item 15)
Remuneration to the chairman of the board and other members of the board is paid in accordance with the resolution by the AGM. The employee representatives is not granted remuneration. Remuneration for the managing director is decided by the board of directors following a proposition by the remuneration committee. Guidelines for remuneration to senior management are established by the AGM. Market rate terms for salaries and other employment terms is applied to the group management. In addition to fixed yearly salaries, the group management will also receive variable salaries. The variable salaries are based on the earning trend compared to fixed targets and have a maximum in absolute amounts stipulated individually on a yearly basis. Remuneration to certain senior managers within the Enea group of companies may also be paid by way of share related compensation.
Pension agreement
Other senior managers in Sweden have pension agreements that fall within the ITP-plan with a stipulated retirement age of 65 and pension premiums related to the salary of the employee. The ITP-plan is principally characterised as being based on beneficial grounds. Pension premiums will be paid regularly.
Severance pay
In case of termination of the managing directors employment, the company will observe a notice period of six months and the managing director a notice period of six months. A severance pay corresponding to six months fixes salaries will apply if the Company terminates the employment. The managing director is entitled to a severance pay corresponding to six months salaries if the ownership in the Company is changed to the extent that there are new majority shareholders. All dismissal pay and severance pay will be reduced in relation to any other earned income. For all other senior management a notice period of 3-12 months applies. The board reserves the right to deviate from the proposed guidelines, if there are particular reasons at hand in a specific case.
The board's proposition on authorization for the board to issue new shares for share or business acquisitions (item 16)
The board proposes that the AGM authorizes the board for the time period until the AGM 2015, at one or several occasions, to resolve on new share issues with deviation from the shareholders preferential rights and stipulating payment in kind or other conditions set out in chapter 13 section 5 first paragraph item 6 of the Swedish Companies Act and that the board may set the general terms of such new share resolutions. The authorization will however not comprise a right for the board to issue shares against cash payment and with deviation from the shareholders preferential rights. The issue price shall be based on market practice and the number of issued shares may at most equal ten per cent of the number of outstanding shares on the day of this notice.
The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights and the right to decide on payment in kind or other conditions stipulated in the Swedish Companies Act is to enable the Company to issue shares in order to acquire shares or businesses.
Decisions following this item on the agenda require support of shareholders representing at least 2/3 of both cast votes as well as the shares represented at the meeting.
The board's proposition regarding reduction of the share capital and a corresponding "bonus issue" increase of the share capital (item 17)
The Company currently holds a total of 703,750 treasure shares, of which 388,996 shares have been allocated for previously resolved employee stock purchase plans. The board proposes that the AGM resolves to cancel the remaining shares, re-purchased based on previous re-purchase authorization, by reducing the share capital of the Company by SEK 338,769.35 through a cancellation of a total of 314,754 shares, without repayment, for transfer to the Company's non-restricted reserve.
In order to achieve a time efficient cancellation procedure without the need for permission by the Swedish Companies' Registration Office or an ordinary court of law, the board proposes that the AGM resolves to restore the Company's share capital to its original amount by increasing the share capital with SEK 338,769.35 by means of a bonus issue without issuing new shares by transferring the amount of issue from the Company's non-restricted reserve to the Company's share capital.
The board's proposition to make a share split, redemption of shares and a corresponding "bonus issue" increase of the share capital (item 18)
The board proposes that the AGM resolves to execute an automatic redemption programme in accordance with the following proposal. All resolutions are proposed to be conditioned by each other, and to be adopted as one single resolution. A valid decision requires approval of shareholders representing at least two‐thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the AGM.
I. Decision to execute a share split
The board proposes that the AGM resolves to execute a share split, whereby each share in the Company is to be divided into two shares. One of these shares will be a so-called redemption share.
II. Decision to reduce the share capital by automatic redemption of shares
The board proposes that the AGM resolves to reduce the Company's share capital by SEK 9,177,857 by way of redemption of the redemption shares, i.e. a total of 17,054,478 shares, for repayment to the shareholders. The consideration for each redemption share shall be SEK 3.00. Redemption of treasury shares held by the Company will be without consideration.
III. Decision to increase the share capital by way of a bonus issue
In order to restore the share capital to its original amount, the board proposes an increase of the share capital with SEK 9,177,857 without issuing any new shares by transfer of the issue amount from the company's non-restricted reserve to the company's share capital.
Record days etc.
The board proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the board to set the record day for the share split and redemption respectively as well as the period for trading of redemption shares. The record day for the share split is estimated to May 6, 2014 and the record day for the redemption is estimated to May 26, 2014. The estimated term for trading is from May 8, 2014 up to and including May 21, 2014. Payment of consideration for redemption shares is expected to be made via Euroclear Sweden AB on or around May 30, 2014.
The board's proposition on an employee stock purchase plan 2014 (item 19)
The board proposes an adoption of an employment stock purchase plan 2014 (the "Plan") comprising a maximum of 93 senior managers, other key employees and certain other employees in Enea, active in Sweden. The participants in the Plan will, following a qualification period and conditional upon a personal investment in Enea shares, be given the opportunity to gratuitously receive further shares in Enea, such number of shares being dependant of the number of Enea shares invested in, and, for some participants, subject to certain performance requirements to be fulfilled. The qualification period for the Plan is proposed to be approximately three years.
Participation in the Plan requires that the participant by himself acquires on the Marketplace or in any other way and ties up Enea Shares within the scope of the Plan ("Savings share"). Enea shares that the participant owns before the qualification period and that is tied up within the scope of the Plan will also be accounted for as Savings shares provided that such share is not tied to any other option or stock purchase program or similar program as e.g. the employee stock purchase plan that was decided on the annual general meeting 2012. The participant will gratuitously receive a share in Enea from the Company, or the entity the Company indicates, for each Savings share, following a qualification period of approx. three years ("Matching share"). Due to the fulfilment of specific performance requirements related to Enea's earnings per share during the financial years 2014-2016, some participants have a right to receive further Enea shares gratuitously for each Savings share ("Performance share"). The threshold value for the Performance shares are set out below:
|Financial year
|Threshold value (SEK) Earnings per share
|Growth factor Earnings per share
|Allotment Performance shares
|Accumulated 2014-2016
|Maximum allotment of Performance shares (4-5)
In order to equalize the participants' interest with the shareholders, the Company will compensate the participants for distributed dividends by increasing the number of shares that each participant receives. Redemption programmes as the one proposed under item 18 on the agenda will be put on par with distribution of dividends. This year's redemption programme will however not render any compensation, only redemption programmes that may be resolved on shareholders meetings during the term of the Plan. In addition to that, the performance requirements, i.e. the earnings per share, may be adjusted if Enea acquires or sells businesses that substantially influence the level of the earnings per share in the Company. The threshold value will be adjusted so that the performance requirements following such transaction will correspond to the initial requirements.
Allotment of Matching shares and Performance shares within the scope of the Plan will be made during a limited period of time following presentation of the first quarterly statement 2017. A condition for the participant to receive allotment of Matching shares and Performance shares, is that the participant remains an employee of the Enea group during the full qualification period and that the participant, during this period, has kept all Savings shares tied up within the scope of the plan. In addition to this, allotment of Performance shares requires that the performance requirements are fulfilled.
The board will decide during May 2014 on participation in the Plan, assignment to category and the maximum number of Matching shares and Performance shares that each participant may receive. At that time the performance of the employee as well as his or hers position in and importance for the Enea group will be considered.
In addition to allotment up to the minimum guaranteed level ("Guarantee-level") within the scope of the Plan, a certain degree of allotment above the Guarantee-level ("Maximum-level") may occur if the interest in the Plan exceeds the Guarantee-level or if not all contemplated participants wishes to participate in part or full. The Maximum-level may amount to a maximum of two times the Guarantee-level.
The Plan is divided into four categories of senior managers, other key employees and certain other employees who will be able to hold, and receive respectively, the following numbers of Savings shares, Matching shares and Performance shares, respectively, per person:
|Savings shares maximum
|Matching shares per Savings share
|Performance shares per Savings share
|B (other senior managers, maximum 8 persons)
|C (other key employees, maximum 4 persons)
|D (other employees in Sweden, maximum 80 persons)
A decision on participation in the Plan requires that, according to the Company, it may be accomplished with reasonable administrative and financial costs. Prior to allotment of Performance shares, the board shall verify if the allotment is reasonable in relation to the Company's growth, earnings, financial position and development compared to competitors as well as other considerations. The participants maximum gross value per Matching and Performance share shall be limited to SEK 214.40, i.e. four times the average closing price of the Enea share during February 2014, for which reason the number of Matching shares and Performance shares that are allotted to the participant may be reduced accordingly in order to accomplish said limitation.
In order to carry through the Plan in a cost-effective and flexible way, the board proposes that the financial exposure resulting from the Plan, is secured by way of a customary hedging arrangement for securing liabilities and that the treasury shares acquired by the Company are utilized for this purpose. Such treasury shares that the Company acquired in accordance with the previous year's decision may also be utilized. The arrangement comprises transfer of shares to the participants in the Plan as well as sale of shares on the stock market or to third parties in order for the Company to enter into share swap agreements or similar arrangements with third parties.
The Plan will comprise, at the Guarantee-level, a maximum of 99,000 Matching shares and a maximum of 243,000 Performance shares, i.e. totalling 342,000 shares. At allotment above the Guarantee-level, the Maximum-level may reach a total of 432,000 shares. In addition to this a number of maximum 68,000 shares may be used for dividend compensation and finally a maximum of 114,000 shares may be used to secure the Company against financial exposures regarding social security contributions etc.
Hence, the maximum number of shares in Enea that comprises the Plan amounts to approximately 614,000 shares corresponding to approximately 3.7 per cent of the outstanding shares and votes. In addition to this, the Plan comprises a further maximum 99,000 Savings shares purchased by the participants themselves and tied up to the Plan.
Transfer of Enea shares under the Plan is proposed to be made by way of transfer of treasury shares acquired within the scope of the board's general authorization to acquire and transfer treasury shares. The arrangement comprises transfer of shares to participants of the Plan and sale of shares on the Marketplace or to third parties in order to cover costs regarding to social security contributions and similar costs. The Plan may also be secured by way of the Company entering into an equity swap agreement or a similar agreement with a third party. If the transfer of Matching shares and Performance shares respectively under the Plan is deemed unsuitable for the Company, the board may, if it is in the interest of the Company, decide to replace the transfer of shares with disbursement of cash.
A decision to establish the Plan requires support of shareholders representing a majority of more than fifty per cent of cast votes. The decision regarding transfer of shares require support of shareholders representing at least nine tenth of both cast votes as well as the shares represented at the meeting. The decision to secure the Plan by way of entering into an equity swap or similar agreement require support of shareholders representing a majority of more than fifty per cent of cast votes.
Other issues
The total amount of shares and votes in the Company at the time of the issuance of this notice is 17,054,478 of which the Company has re-purchased and holds 703,750 treasury shares.
The shareholders are reminded of their right to request information from the board and the managing director in accordance with chapter 7 section 32 of the Swedish Companies Act.
The managing director is with full right of substitution proposed to be authorized to make necessary and small adjustments in order to enable registration of the resolutions at the Swedish Companies' Registration Office.
The annual report and the auditor's report, a compilation of the proposed board members' other engagements as well as the board's complete proposals and other documentation will be available at the Company no later than three weeks prior to the AGM. The documents will also be available at www.enea.com/agm .

The Duke Family -- cousins Bo ( John Schneider) and Luke (Tom Wopat), assisted by their cousin Daisy ( Catherine Bach) and their uncle, Jesse (Denver Pyle)-- fight the system and root out the corrupt practices of Hazzard County Commissioner Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) and his bumbling brother-in-law-Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane (James Best). The show became an instant hit, never failing to win its time slot during its original run on CBS for seven seasons from 1979-1985. The Duke boys, a pair of 'Robin Hood' types complete with bows and Dynamite arrows, are assisted in their adventures by their car, an orange 1969 Dodge Charger named 'The General Lee'. The Dukes of Hazzard is set in Georgia, and the show's southern influence is felt throughout. Country singing superstar Waylon Jennings performed the famous theme song to the show (Good Ol' Boys), and acts as The Balladeer, narrating the adventures of each episode. Furthermore, many of the plots revolved around the Dukes' history as an ex-moon-shining family. The story followed Bo and Luke until season five, because during episodes 87 through 104, their cousins Coy (Byron Cherry)and Vance (Christopher Mayer) replaced the boys while the went on to join NASCAR Circuit. Bo and Luke won, but returned to Hazzard after great season at the NASCAR Circuit. Innocently naive Deputy Enos Strate, though technically a member of the law under Boss Hogg, strives for justice and fairness, while also having a major crush on Daisy. Ace mechanic Cooter Davenport helps the Dukes along the way, and Deputy Cletus Hogg, though not as honest as Enos, subtlety assists the Dukes escape from 'Hogg justice'. The series had an extremely successful run in syndication beginning in 1996 on TNN, the Nashville Network. This led to a resurgence in the popularity of the "Dukes". Two reunion movies, featuring the surviving members of the cast, aired in 1997 and 2000. The show currently airs on CMT (Country Music Television) and in the summer of 2005 experienced another huge revival with the film version, starring Seann William Scott, Johnny Knoxville, Willie Nelson and Jessica Simpson. A Prequel was Made in 2007 and shown in 2 weeks on ABC Family in 2008 during the summer.moreless
Trivia & Quotes
Quotes (353)
Bo: If you had tuned this car instead of chasing women last night, we'd already have him. Luke: Not with you asleep at the wheel.
Luke: Watch out for that mailbox! (Bo runs over four mailboxes) Bo: What mailbox?
Uncle Jesse: Why would you let Cooter borrow your car?! Next time just run it off a cliff and save gas.
Luke: You borrowed my car this morning. What'd you do with it? Cooter: Oh, I used it to run the sheriff off the road to make him mad.
Cooter: This here's Crazy Cooter talkin'. Turkey coming right down my alley. Gobble gobble.
Luke: I love your shortcut. Bo: Cute. They must've changed it since the last time a girl chased me through here.
Uncle Jesse: The chance of you two producing an offspring is up there with hogs producing beef
Boss: Rosco, With your image right now if you were the only man running. Rosco: I'd come in second. Boss: You'd come in second.
Notes (317)
The first five episodes were shot on location in and around Covington, Georgia, in November and December 1978. The series was only planned as a mid-season replacement, with just nine episodes planned. After completion of the fifth episode, "High Octane", Warner Brothers executives saw enough potential in the series that they moved production to California, in order to streamline filming.
In these very early episodes, there are a number of noticeable character differences - Cooter is a wild rebel who often breaks the law; Rosco is a more hard-nosed, bitter lawman; Boss Hogg is more gruff and serious, and the Dukes are not so "clean cut" in nature. As the series found it's "family friendly" footing, many of these characteristics would evolve or be toned down.
This is the only episode where we actively see a number of deputies working at the Police Station. Ordinarily it would only be Rosco and Enos (Enos replaced by Cletus in the third and fourth seasons). On occasions, such as "car race" episodes, we would see auxiliary deputies, but they were not permanent. (Note however, that several other early episodes make indirect references to other deputies - in the next episode, "Daisy's Song", for example, Boss and Rosco discuss Rosco's deputies, with Rosco insisting that none of them are honest, except for Enos).
The series premiered in the United Kingdom on BBC One on Saturday 3rd March 1979, at 9 pm (it would soon be moved to an earlier time slot to cater to its many younger aged fans). This is less than two months after the show debuted in the US - long before satellite channels were around to poach the rights!
James Best almost turned the role of Sheriff Rosco (P.) Coltrane down because he said he didn't want to do a "gang thing" for a TV show, believing 'The Dukes' to be a suburban street gang.
The early General Lees, as seen in this episode, has an additional artwork design that soon disappeared; A small Confederate flag is a cross design with another flag, on the trunk of the car (just above the CB aerial). This was dropped after the series moved to the Warner Brothers lot in Hollywood.
According to commentary by Catherine Bach and John Schneider on the season 1 DVDs, the hands playing the guitar at the start of the first few episodes are in fact not Waylon Jennings. However, they cannot remember to whom they belong.
Daisy becomes the first Duke to successfully escape from the Hazzard County Jail in this premiere episode. Bo and Luke would have to wait a few episodes longer.
In the early episodes there are very few scenes between Boss and Rosco as opposed to later when the two would become almost inseparable. Both men went their own way and had their own scams although it was made clear that Boss was the one in charge.
Trivia (197)
Cooter utters his often used phrase "Shoot fire and save box matches" for the first time in this episode.
This episode holds the record for the number of times the General Lee's Dixie horn is be heard in a single episode - four times. It is heard once during the chase after the stolen Police car at the start of the story, twice in the scene in the junk yard, and once more as the car drives away in the last shot.
The guitar used in the opening introduction (not yet a shot of Waylon Jennings) was acoustic.
During the car chase near the end of the episode when Bo and Luke are driving round the town square, there is another General Lee parked in the street. It is visible almost in the middle of the screen.
The Untouchables once had an episode with the same title as this one--One Armed Bandits.
Hazzard County is said to be in Georgia, but there is no such county now or ever in Georgia. There is, however, a town in Kentucky named Hazard.
In the chase scene in the beginning, Cooter changes between 3 different police cars, first he has a Dodge Monaco with the confederate flag plate in the middle of the bumper, then he has a car just like but it has the plate on the passenger side of the bumper when he does the jump before the General Lee does it. And the he switches to a Dodge Polara, which has a smashed up rear quarter panel and a fenderbender in the front and then thats one car that he flips in the construction zone. A similar thing happens during the chase scene in the end. Rosco and Enos switch between the those 3 cars too.
At the junkyard, General Lee honks it's horn once, and starts a second time - when it stops after the first two notes! Later, after Bo and Luke are back in the car, the horn finishes the last 10 notes.
Allusions (17)
The title of this episode is taken from the classic Agatha Christie courtroom film Witness for the Prosecution.
The title of this episode is taken from The Amityville Horror, popular book which was made into a movie during the 1970's starring James Brolin, Margot Kidder, and Rod Steiger.
This storyline of this episode bears some resemblance to that of The Maltese Falcon.
Hazzard County's Sadie Hogg Day is loosely borrowed from the comic strip Li'l Abner's Sadie Hawkins Day.
When Cooter is running interference for the Genreal he says 'Like the right side of the Bulldog line'. This is probably a reference to the University of Georgia Bulldogs football team.
This episode gets its title from the classic 1955 film Bad Day at Black Rock.
This episode bears an amazing similarity to the final episode of The Untouchables called A Taste for Pineapple. In that one, Eliot Ness is blinded in an attempted gangland hit and has to fight off an attempt by the assassin to finish the job. Here, Uncle Jesse is blinded while witnessing a jewelry store robbery and has to fight off the robbers who want to silence him for good.
This episode offers a ringing endorsement for the Big Brothers-Big Sisters program, as the Duke boys are good role models to budding juvenile delinquent Andy Slocum

Why do you think the author chose Maple Street as the setting for the play? Act 2, scene 3 The narrator delivers a final warning. He says: The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices—to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy. A thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own for the children… and the children yet unborn, (a pause) and the pity of it is…that these things cannot be confined to…The Twilight Zone! 1. With your group, break down this passage line by line and write down what it saying. 2. Then, determine what the theme of the play is (using this final passage to support your answer.) 3. Finally, determine what kind of warning or prediction the author is offering. Feel free to use examples from history to support the author's ascertains and why he may be concerned by human actions and behavior. **This is a DISCUSSION based activity. These are difficult questions- if you arrive at an answer really quickly you have not looked at the issue through enough angles. Use the text and YOUR EXPERIENCES AND KNOWLEDGE to answer these questions.

A FOUR-FOLD PATH TO TAROT EXCELLENCE with James Wells. Thursday, April 16 at 7 p.m. at the 9th Vibration, 497 Woolwich St., Unit 6, Guelph, ON. Imagine your tarot readings pulsing with presence and truth, lavish with heart and possibility. What needs to be in place for that to happen?
One model for how to be a complete tarot consultant is the Four-Fold Way, an approach by the late Angeles Arrien that calls upon the gifts of four archetypes: Warrior, Visionary, Healer, and Teacher. Living the qualities of all of these archetypes brings us to wholeness; practising them in our tarot work imbues our sessions with power, creativity, love, and wisdom. Rooted in indigenous understanding, the Four-Fold Way is a suitable companion to the tarot's powerful symbols and structure.
Join James Wells to explore and awaken the four archetypes in your calling as a practitioner of tarot. You'll discover those which you naturally embody and those which need strengthening so that your readings can be artful acts of insight and healing. You'll receive helpful information, do a reading using Four-Fold Way concepts, and integrate your discoveries through ceremony and group sharing. This enriching experience will inform your tarot work for many years to come. $30 (pre-paid).
NOTE: This workshop will be repeated at the Readers Studio in New York City on Friday, April 24 at 9 p.m.: http://tarotschool.com/RS15/RS15_Wells.html

Jim Cramer sees that the market is in a sweet spot for earnings. With a new landscape, he's betting that these are the hot stocks to watch.
The uncertainty bodes especially ill for Masonite International Corp, Armstrong World Industries Inc, Mohawk Industries Inc and Masco Corp, which get nearly a fifth of their revenues from Europe.

This quarter's earnings have a clear trend: they either beat expectations or report in-line, which does little to help the stock.

Construction material costs have been rising so fast it's hard to keep pace, Mohawk CEO Jeffrey Lorberbaum tells CNBC.

Frustrating and uncommunicative guest.
Firstly they complained on the very first day they arrived about not having a record player to play MY records on(!?!). After this it seems that they would be impossible to please.
They claimed they saw a "huge" cockroach in the kitchen and that they were then afraid to cook. I said that whereas I'd very rarely seen or heard of any roaches in the apartment, that this was possible, as the next door neighbors had just moved out on the day they arrived and that this can sometimes sometimes mobilize any roaches to look for a place to hide. I also said that a lone roach will occasionally wander in to try to find something, but that as long as food is not left lying around, there should not be much reason to worry. I also said that I could meet them at the apt to have a look and to spray for further prevention. They never responded to my messages and were not around when I came by, so after going by several times to try to meet with them, I finally just spayed around the outside of the doors and windows.
They then never returned a follow up call, but only left me a nasty reveiw saying that I used the spray "all over the place" ~ which was entirely untrue, as I'd used the spray on the outside of the apartment only.
They also claimed that the "the flat was not clean AT ALL", and that they had dirty feet after walking around for a few minutes. My cleaner thoughroughly mops all floors before each guest, so I do not see how this could be true. But... *had* this been the case, why would they then not have let me know about these issues while they were staying there? I would have gladly come by to address any problems myself right away.
Although they claimed that they were too afraid to use the kitchen at all ~ pots, pans, dishes, etc., had clearly been used plenty. They even left a bowl with a bit of flour in it on an upper shelf...apparently to try to *attract roaches* and thus damage my reputation!
Besides the single roach issue, which I addressed immediately, had things been as bad as they've stated, why on earth would they then never have returned my calls during their stay, or been available to meet with me so that I could address these problems?
Dissapointing to say the least.
I tried to make my review accurate and not personal but I see that you did not do the same and I truly regret it.
First, if you look at your text messages again, after our arrival, I asked you if by any chance you had left a record player in your house because we had brought OUR OWN vinyls.
Then, you say that I did not return your calls but I never knew you had called me because my French phone only enabled me to text you. If I was not that quick to answer your emails, it is because, unsurprisingly as we were tourists, we were visiting the city all day and seldom had a wifi access.
What's more, we were not the ones leaving flour on a top shelf for the simple reason that we never bought some !
Moreover, you say that you came by several times to try and meet us but we were away sight seeing all day so you could have texted us if you really wanted to meet us at some specific moment one day.
Last but not least, I would NEVER have lied about the work done by your cleaner. This is why I took this fact into account when writing my review.
Great guest. Anne was so nice and she took care of my place. She can stay any time. ty Paul
Anne was a wonderful guest! Welcome. Here any time!
Best guests I've ever had! They left my apartment just as clean as it was when they found it. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you!!
Anne and her boyfriend were lovely guests and it was a pleasure to have them in my apartment! They were so nice and easy to communicate with before their stay, and were really nice in person too.
They even left me a thank you gift that they'd brought from France which was well received by me!!
Would love to have them stay again any time :D
Anne and Fabrice were great guests. They communicated their plans really well and left the place very tidy.
Anne and Fabrice were great guests and lovely people. They brought excitement and vigour for getting the most out of their adventure!
They were also clear and courteous with all communications and made it an overall smooth experience.
We highly recommend them!

Please ID these 2 plants (with pics)
Hi everyone, please tell what these two plants are. I also need advice on what to do with the green plant. I bought it about 3 weeks ago and it seemed to do well at first.
It was in a large room, about 15 or 20 feet from very large, south facing windows. When the leaves started drooping, I moved it gradually to a brighter location, about 8 feet from the window, but not in direct light.
The leaves are still drooping and I'd like to know what I should do. I've watered it about twice since I got it.
The first one is a clump of coffee plants, Coffea arabica, the plain old coffee beans you drink, planted and allow to grow into a green foliage plant.
It appears to me you've dried them out severely. They need constant moisture. They may recover with even watering, if not, they are easy to come by.
The second plant is Pan Am Pilea (P. cadierei 'Pan Am').
Deburn, if the soil is still moist, don't add more water.
What size is the pot?
The soil looks soaked..is it?
Let the soil dry out, then water.
Another problem could be dry air. Shower/spray leaves once a day, without aiming at soil.
For now, what is pot size? Toni
Deburn, your Coffee's leaves look dry. Are they crispy?
If they are, it's best removing them.
They need bright light, not full sun. Especially when young.
Spray or shower leaves daily. Water when soil feels/looks crumbly, not bone dry.
It took me years to conquer growing a coffee tree, they'd live less than a year then die. The one I have now is a little over five years..I left it outside, nights dropped in the 20's, and now my poor coffee looks terrible. Very few leaves are alive.
I hope yours makes it, Toni
Neither plant plant is getting enough light. The Pilea in particular has very elongated stems between the nodes, a sure sign of inadequate light. I suggest pruning back the stems to where the growth is more compact and then provide more light. New growth will be more compact, which is what you want with a Pilea.
The coffee plant appears to be in a pot that is too large and that means the soil is not drying out properly between waterings. Excess soil around the roots retains water for too long and causes root rot. Root rot symptoms often mimic excessive dryness symptoms because the roots are no longer absorbing water properly.

Should I write authentication logic in my forms for handling user login?
For example, I'd like to display messages to the user if an account hasn't been activated yet. For that, I'm currently doing something like this (terrible, I know):
def login(request):
email = request.POST.get('email')
password = request.POST.get('password')
user = auth.authenticate(email=email, password=password)
if user is not None:
if user.is_active:
auth.login(request, user)
# etc
# send "not activated message"
# send "not found message"
It's a lot uglier than that in implementation, but I'll save the internet from my initial attempt at form processing at Django before I learned the forms API.
In any case, it's important to be able to tell users that their accounts aren't active yet if they try to log in, that way they can at least know what to do next. The forms API seems to make the most sense here: I could perform simple email address and password validation, then perform actual account activation logic validation in the
clean() method on my form and send them a message if there's an issue.
Are there any downsides to doing this?
PS: I know that Django ships with a login view and the whole nine yards, but I have specific project needs in which I need to tweak things quite a bit with authentication etc., so please don't suggest to "use the included view," I can't this time.
