Wonderful light and airy 2 bedroom apartment in the Old Town (Vieux Nice).
Our apartment is on the 2nd floor of a typical Nicois building in Rue Francois Zanin, a quiet but wide pedestrian street just round the corner (literally!) from the Old Town's fabulous markets, shops, bars and restaurants and less than 10 minutes walk from both the beach and the port. It is also only a couple of minutes walk from bus and tram stops on Nice's excellent public transport system which provides excellent services to the airport (20 minutes) and the many attractions in Nice and the wider area.
The apartment comprises a large (5m x 4m) double-window sitting room with dining area, a modern American-style kitchen, 2 bedrooms (one with a double bed and a walk-in wardrobe, the other with two single beds) and a modern WC/shower room.
The Old Town of Nice is one of Euope's 'jewels' - the historic buildings and pedestrianised streets are filled with the atmosphere of the local markets, restaurants and street cafes which you can enjoy or wander through, by day or night, relaxed and secure. Don't get put off by the city's reputation as a playground for the rich - the close proximity of the beach and the bus and trams stops (providing services not just to local attractions but also to Monaco, Cannes, etc) and the myriad of very reasonably priced restaurants and cafes means that you can have just as much fun on a tight budget!
In 2005 my wife and I decided to move our family from Oxfordshire to South West France where I now work as an artist (www.inoils.com) as well as returning to the UK to continue my professional consultancy practice.
Iain Vellacott purchased this apartment in 2006
We bought this apartment because of its wonderful location at the top of the Old Town - less than 10 minutes stroll through the pedestrianised streets to the front, only a couple of minutes from stops on Nice's excellent tram and bus network and just round the corner from Place Garibaldi with its restaurants, bars and supermarket - yet quiet (important to me as I am a light sleeper!)
Our fundamental objective has always been that people should have a great holiday so we did up the apartment and maintain it (with the help of our excellent local agent) in the way that we would want to find an apartment ourselves.
We (grandparents, mum, dad and 11 year old son) spent a week in Iain's brilliant apartment in Nice old town. It is superbly situated in the historic streets and you have bakery, restaurants, buses, trams.. everything right on your doorstep. There is everything you need including parasol and mats for the beach. As someone mentioned travel is super cheap and you can buy a "muti" ticket for the buses so a journey costs 1€!! There is loads to experience in Nice and along the coast...we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend the apartment. Iain was very friendly and professional in helping us to organise things. Thanks for a super week!
Would recommend for: Tourists without a car, sightseeing, families with teenagers, families with young children and romantic getaway.
Central location for our needs, a family apartment. We were able to travel on the trains, trams and buses without concern. We were lucky that the Grand Prix was on during our stay and we managed to get to Monaco the atmosphere was brilliant, the bus was 1.50 each way number 100from behind the monoprix. Also went to marineland didn't know who enjoyed it most me or my 5 year old catch the 200 bus 1 euro each way catch it by hotel meridian caught the train back. Food we ate in a few times however there was a plethora of restaurants within close proximity to the apartment.
Me, my husband, our three year old daughter and both of our mothers stayed in this cosy apartment for 10 days. We were met by the most welcoming woman that helped us settle in and get all the necessary information. In this apartment you will find everything you need, even buckets and spades to bring to the beach for our daughter! It's close to everything, in the middle of beautiful vibrant old town, with all it's little boutiques, cafes and restaurant. right around the corner is the bus stop to go Monaco or better yet Villefranche-sur-mer with it's little beach. We will definetly go back and would recomend it to anybody. Iain has been great from first contact til the last. Always doing his best to help us. Outstanding service! Thank you!
We had a wonderful stay in Nice. The flat was as advertised. Iain was extremely reliable during each stage: arranging the stay, the payment and the particulars of our arrival and departure. The flat was well-stocked with what we expected -- in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and general living space. The location is excellent - in old town. We couldn't have been better situated. We would stay there again.
Location, location, location! Having also stayed further west, in the Gambetta area of Nice, we can definitely say this is better. You'll spend almost nothing on transport in the city once you're installed here. Rather amusingly, having been attracted to this apartment by its proximity to the bus station (we had decided to challenge ourselves to a holiday using only public transport), we found out from Iain, when I casually mentioned this in a pre-departure email exchange, that the bus station had been demolished! (It turns out that this is to make way for the Coulée Verte/ 'Promenade du Paillon' (google for info) which, when complete – allegedly in Sept 2013 - will only enhance the location…) However, loss of the station was not a problem. Many bus lines from all directions lead to Place Garibaldi (google Lignes d'Azur) and once you're there, you're a 3-minute, pleasant walk from your accommodation. We'd endorse all that's been said by others re the apartment - apart from reservations expressed re the noise. It's not silent like country gîtes we've stayed in, but we didn't expect that from a town-centre location - there's no traffic noise and we loved the sounds of the Old Town waking up and going to sleep: (unlike Gambetta) and the pleasant, evening restaurant buzz dies down from 10.30 and disappears by 11.30. Lots of places to eat: high-class busking in Place Rossetti makes it appealing, but la Table Alziari, has a much more authentic feel – and there's the lovely M. Alziari himself. The temptation to cook at home is also huge, with 3 metro-style supermarkets and many great, small food shops on your doorstep. Ideal location too if travelling with older teenage children, since its centrality allows everyone to satellite off and do their own thing. Also a good introduction to renting from private owners, as communication with Iain couldn't be easier and Samira, his agent who meets you, gives a very helpful and warm introduction to the apartment and area. Staying here you feel as though you're living in the town rather than drifting through it as a tourist.
The photos and description of the apartment are accurate. It is an old building but the apartment has been updated fairly well. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was usable, bathroom was nice. The washer/dryer was handy, although we used the outside lines for drying. The TV gets English language news channels and there is a good DVD selection. The location of the apartment is in the middle of the tourist zone and within walking distance of the beach and many sights. It is a bit noisy with the restaurants down below, but the windows are good quality and will seal out the noise for those who want to go to bed early or are light sleepers. This apartment and the location are good for those who want an atypical experience from the standard tourist hotel; particularly if you want to prepare some meals at home. There were a few minor maintenance issues, lightbulbs and such, that need attention, and one of the kitchen cabinets is positioned to give you a good knock on the head on the way to the bathroom. The woman who showed us the apartment pointed it out, but try remembering that in the middle of the night when nature calls.
Our apartment is situated in a quiet but wide pedestrian street just round the corner (literally!) from the Old Town's fabulous markets, shops, bars and restaurants and less than 10 minutes walk from both the beach and the port. It is also only a couple of minutes from stops on Nice's excellent bus and tram system offering excellent services to the airport (20 minutes) and the many attractions in Nice and the wider area.

We stayed here for a long weekend in early February and were very lucky with the weather. The young gentleman on reception (I think one of the family who own the hotel) was extremely helpful and professional. Most of the staff were fantastic. Breakfast was brilliant.
Us and our friends had two rooms, both Sound of Music suites. Nice rooms but nothing special - certainly adequate for the price. Clean with flat screen TV, chairs and a small mini bar which had very reasonable prices. The coffee machine was a big plus!
Only one point which could do with improvement - the tiny bar area. No glasses to serve customers who like a little aperitif before the evening meal. One female receptionist thought we had interrupted her busy schedule of standing behind the counter or working on the computer when we dared to ask for a drink - but she redeemed herself on a later date. So 90% positive and would go there again. The owner doing a morning round of the breakfast room to say hello to every guest was a genuinely nice touch. Thanks to all at the Der Salzburger Hof for a lovely stay in Salzburg.

This restaurant is not in the best of locations so we never think about going there. We actually forget it is even there but we got a coupon so figured we would try it again. I am so glad we did. They seemed to be short handed on staff but the food more than made up for the service. The steaks were so tender they seemed to melt in our mouths and the flavor was amazing. The garlic mashed potatoes were the best I have ever had. The veggies were steamed to perfection. We will be back!

The I-snoot includes a circular casing having side walls extending forwardly from the front wall. A hand grip is adjustably secured to a flat plate iris diaphragm inside the casing allowing a full range of light to pass through the light control blade diaphragm. The I-snoot assembly has a second casing located on the opposite end of the circular casing, having side walls extending forwardly from the back wall. The back wall casing has a metal lip that protrudes outwardly from the assembly which allows attachment to standard lighting units. A transition zone interconnecting the light control blades is located inside each outer casing. The assembly also contains a lighting accessory adaptor on the front wall casing to use various photographic accessories, such as barn doors, gels, and various screens to control lighting intensities and variations.
1. A lighting accessory which allows complete annular control of light produced from various sized light fixtures by changing the emission of light depending on the desired setting of a large circular central aperture comprising:
a housing including a first male end piece having a central opening and a flange about its periphery and a second female end piece having a central opening and flange about its periphery, said flange of said first end piece being inserted within the flange of said second end piece and secured in place, an annular actuator plate located in said housing having a handle extending through a slot located in an outer periphery of said housing, a plurality of light control blades located about the inner periphery of said housing and adapted to form an adjustable central aperture, each of said light control blades being pivotally connected to said actuator plate and also pivotally connected one of said end pieces.
2. A lighting accessory as set forth in claim 1 further comprising adapter means extending from one of said end pieces for attaching light modifying elements.
3. A lighting accessory as set forth in claim 1 attached to a lighting fixture.
This invention relates to controlled lighting, specifically precision spot lighting or broad or wide angle flood light, or to any intermediate position in order to accomplish the ultimate fine and exact lighting instantly.
Still photographers, motion picture, film photography, and videography/television personnel commonly use various lighting techniques to insure the best results possible. Such applications in todays market is for the most part, primitive in nature, and do not address the immediate need for precision controlled lighting alternatives.
Originally, Photographers would move the subject matter or light source to and from the subject matter in an effort to create a better lighting arrangement. However, photographers soon found this technique to be a non-productive approach. Thereafter, inventors created several types of light control devices in an attempt to meet a more suitable lighting objective. U.S. Pat. No. 4,200,902 to Charles Intrator (1978) discloses a more complex lighting unit that addresses the opening and closing of a box which allows a certian amount of light to flow from within. However, this particular unit is very cumbersome and does not address the precision lighting in which the new invention "The I-Snoot" presents.
Several types of devices have been proposed--for example: In Canada 556,803 to Artur Fischer (1958) which disclosed a foldable reflector unit 8. This invention relates to a flash bulb unit for compactabiltiy and to provide a flash bulb unit which consist of relatively few parts. None of which address the exact same objective as the I-Snoot.
In addition there have been other disclosed concepts that have been cited as being of further relevance with respect to the scope of the searched invention: For example, in the U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,187,531 (1980), 4,322,779 (1982), 4,729,065 (1988), 4,788,628 (1988), and in Finland patent 23,650 (1949). Each of these patents require either a movement of the bulb itself or requires barn doors to open and close in order to achieve similiar goals as the I-Snoot.
Our invention, (Disclosure Document No. 339935) The I-Snoot is based upon a very compact, light weight thin metal sheeting which opens and closes an iris diaphragm that gives an exact light or precision lighting ability.
Other inventions such as photography snoots and barn doors accomplish similiar objectives but do not achieve the same precision lighting nor the multiple spot or range of wide angle lighting alternatives as the easily controlled I-Snoot that give instant results.
Accordingly, besides the objects and advantages of the precision lighting abilities other objects and advantages of the present invention are:
(a) to provide a convenient and extremely rapid and economical change of light source thats being produced instantaneously.
(b) to provide an interchangeable screen and gel attachment to allow additional lighting requirements.
(c) to provide a superior lighting alternative as to using the traditional barn door or snoot concept.
(d) to provide a wide range of flexiability in controlling a precision lighting situation.
(e) to provide the same distance between the light source and the subject matter, yet being able to control the amount of light emitted from the light source without moving or altering the subject matter or light source.
(f) to provide an iris diaphragm which allows pin-point accuracy every time.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a relatively compact and easily manipulated light control unit to direct a light source in a precision fashion by means of an open and close iris diaphragm to give exact lighting requirements.
Most conventional light fixtures accomplish a change in lighting dimension by means of a compensating channel or various metal rings positioned in front of the light into the photographing field. These techniques require replacement rings in each lighting application. The present invention includes a plurality of rotational positions by varying the position of the synchronized iris diaphragm which is formed inside a circumference casing. The surface is a black absorptive color which is heat resistant in nature. The advantage to the I-snoot verses other types of photo snoot or barn door accessories is the "iris diaphragm." This diaphragm allows complete control of your lighting needs with a full range of positions instantly.
By sliding the knob in one direction or the other, you accomplish complete control of your light/setting within seconds.

17 shoulder bolts
With the above and additional objects and advantages in mind as will hereafter appear, the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view illustrating the I-snoot in detail. The outside casing 10 which holds the metal lip that protrudes outwardly from the assembly allows attachment to standard lighting units. This casing is conveniently made of two pieces of flat reflector metal sheets cut and bent into the illustrated shape. There is a large hole manufactured in the center of the casing which allows light to pass through the unit. Once manufactured, the two metal pieces would be welded together at the appropriate location to make them become one piece. The outside casing 10 would be slightly smaller in size in order to slide one casing inside the other casing 14 completely encompassing and holding together all of the pieces of the invention thus becoming what is now referred to as the I-snoot.
FIG. 2 is a front view, showing the Iris diaphragm in the fully closed position. This frontside casing 14 is slightly larger than the outside casing 10. Both casings contain a large hole in the center to allow light to pass through the unit. The outside casing 14 shows eight strategic holes 16 which allows eight pop-rivets to attach the casing to each of the eight light control blades 13. The eight light control blades will be slightly loose and would be made of a sheet metal die cut to size.
The handle 12 is part of the actuator plate.
FIG. 3 is a side elevation view, of both outside casings 10 and 14 joined together to create the total unit. The assembly also contains a lighting accessory adapter kit 15 located on three sides of the front casing 14 protruding outwardly to allow the usage of additional attachments such as screens, barn doors and gels to control the lighting intensities and variations.
FIG. 4 is a front view of the outside casing, showing the Iris diaphragm in a fully open position.
FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration of the present invention having connected the outside front casing 14 to the eight light control blades 13 which connects to the actuator plate, 11 by means of eight strategic holes that allow eight thin-headed shoulder bolts 17 to properly connect the assembly together.
The adjustable handle 12 is welded to the sheet metal heat reflector actuator plate allowing rotatable alternative positions by sliding the handle one way or the other.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view, illustrating the Iris diaphragm assembly attached to a standard lighting unit.

Organic beauty products reviews, tips and advice. How to choose an effective organic beauty product for your type of skin, and how to create powerful facial beauty products at home using affordable and effective organic ingredients. Homemade organic recipes and beauty tips.
Natural ingredients for a beautiful skin If you're looking to prevent premature aging and look your absolute best, these skin care tips are for you. Of course, wrinkles are an inevitable part of getting older, but there are a few steps you can take to stay looking young as long as possible. Keeping a healthy lifestyle is the best thing you can do for your skin, including using organic beauty products instead of some chemical-based creams. It starts with diet and nutrition as this is what fuels your body and provides nutrients to make essential oils and collagen for the skin. Fruits and vegetables are especially good for your body and skin because they contain fiber and antioxidants. Add healthier oils like olive oil to your daily diet, and try to eat whole grains such as brown rice to provide nutrition without excess calories. In addition to maintaining a proper food intake, drinking enough water is one of the most important skin care tips. Water will keep the skin moist and supply, while also clearing out toxins. Dry skin is extremely susceptible to wrinkles and fine lines, so you want to always stay hydrated. The standard recommendation is to drink six to eight glasses of water each day, whether or not you are trying to lose weight. Regular exercise is also important to keep your skin healthy and vibrant. Exercise increases blood flow and help clean out the pores by sweating out toxins. Frequent physical activity will also improve your mood, enhance your cognitive skills, and reduce weight. Reduce stress whenever possible as it can have an effect on your skin. Under stress, the body's metabolism is disrupted, which can lead to the signs of premature aging. Some good ways to relax and relieve stress include taking a bath, exercising, or meditation. We all know how dangerous the sun's UV rays are, so always protect yourself when you go outside. The sun can dry out your skin's oils and natural moisture, making it more likely to crack or wrinkle. SPF 15 is standard protection, but fair-skinned people may need even more protection. Natural ingredients for a beautiful skin Other skin care tips include using jojoba oil or coenzyme Q10 to reduce wrinkles and protect your skin. Jojoba oil is very versatile oil that can be used to reduce wrinkles, relax stretch marks, and provide moisture to dry, cracked skin. It is also very similar to some of the oils naturally produced by the skin, so it is tolerated well by the body. Jojoba oil is very high in vitamin E, which is known to be an antioxidant that can help protect the skin from damage. Coenzyme Q10 is another popular anti-wrinkle ingredient. It is mostly used for its antioxidant properties, which protect the skin cells from free radicals. Free radicals are continually generated by the body's metabolic processes and will break down the structure of the cell. Since they are always being created by the body, a daily antioxidant is necessary to keep free radicals under control. Now you know several easy ways to protect yourself from the signs of premature aging. Look for anti-wrinkle products containing the ingredients listed above to make sure you are getting a quality product. Stay consistent in following our skin care tips and you will find yourself looking younger each day. Finally, if you want more tips on natural skincare products, to give your skin a natural radiant glow, feel free to visit our own organic beauty products video.

Justin Beiber makes more in one concert than you do in an entire year.
It is rather pointless to talk about it. Since the Obama administration is the most anti-jobs administration, in our history; it isn't likely they will change their policies to encourage creation of full time jobs. As to the growing divide, since the Obama administration has thrown more of the middleclass into poverty, and been encouraging people to get on the welfare and food stamp roles, by the millions, naturally the divide is growing. Democrats have taken away the hope of ever getting tood paying full time jobs. Obama policies have convinced employers it is a bad time to employ more people, and even worse times to keep as many full time workers as they currently have. Business profits are up, but only because they are cuttig back hours their employees work, in fear of the next move by the Obama government. They Fed dumping a trilion phony dollars a year into the money supply does wonders for those who are investing in the markets. Though it is a bubble created by the Obama fed. and not based on econmic growth, and jobs creation. So the investors are making out like bandits, but savers are being destroyed by the the artificial low interest rates. More elderly are filing for bankruptcy than ever in American history. So, until Democrats stop their anti jobs policies. The divide will get larger.
Full time job creation? For what, $18,000/yr? Is that a living wage?
Maybe if the republican run corporations would stop paying their CEOs $60M/yr, brought the jobs back to America, paid living wages, and stopped worrying about their record profits over the way they treat their employees, maybe that would work.
What has the current republican Congress done to spur the creation of jobs? it was to have been their number 1 priority
At least Obama talks about the problem.
Yes Obama says he is going to attack jobs before every election.
Good point.
He must be smarter and harder working than everyone else. This actually reminds me of the nuts who keep saying that Fox news is the best news source since it is popular. Go figure?
By: foxnewsbschecker2 AKA jojomax411 Confessions of a Paid Internet Moveon spammer.
"I Was a Paid Internet Shill: How Shadowy Groups Manipulate Internet Opinion and Debate"
If this doesn't describe -jojomax411or Aka magoober/Gary the fairy - perfectly, then nothing does. This is just a small excerpt.
"At first, like I said, my job was head moveon Yahoo Board -patrol." This was pretty simple and repetitive; it involved countering memes and introducing new meme liberal lies, and didn't demand much in-depth knowledge of the subject. Mostly just repetitive posting based on the dialogue pairs in the "Strat" section of the first binder. A lot of my job was de-railing and spamming threads that didn't go our way, or making accusations of racism and anti-Semitism. Sometimes I had to simply lie and claim a poster said something or did something "in another thread" they really hadn't said or done I felt bad about this…but in the end I felt worse about the possibility of losing the first job I'd been able to get since losing my "real" job." Now we are both on Obama Food Stamps and Welfare and life is good. Free Obama cell phone too.
This actually describes most of the liberal lies we post here daily. It's fairly obvious that one person is responsible for at least a half dozen of these flaming liberal identities. They never make well thought out arguments or engage in actual discussion just lies or Obama talking points. They simply repeat the same memes over and over again like angry hate filled Obama does daily. Blaming Bush for his 4 years of utter failure.
Republicans believe in the dream.
That they too can achieve wealth and success.
Wingnut Libs believe there is no hope and the rich (the man) are keeping them down.
Yes indeed. Republicans believe in the dream.
That they too can achieve wealth and success.
Wingnut Libs believe there is no hope and the rich (the man) are keeping them down. They love and want all Obama free stuff that the working and tax paying folks pay for.
So John, what affect do you think the ultra rich have had on society besides creating the ultra poor?
A lib always always has an excuse.
When an idiot is driving the boss, it's the people in the back that have the roughest ride.
That just proves there are too many stupid kids in this world.

Randy Travis Joins Radio Station Staff for Another Concert in Texas
Randy Travis is becoming a regular at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth, Texas.
Randy Travis is becoming a regular at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth, Texas.
Randy Travis was among the guests at Joe Nichols' concert at Billy Bob's Texas in Fort Worth on Saturday (Nov. 22). The country legend visited with Nichols, and even treated the 'Yeah' singer's family to a barbecue dinner.
It's been more than a year since Randy Travis had a stroke, and his fiancee says he is continuing to make great strides in his recovery.
While the golden age of the music video didn't come until halfway through Randy Travis' storied career, the singer released a number of mini clips that proved he knew how to work a camera and a microphone.
Randy Travis made a rare public appearance this week, marking one of the few times the country legend has been seen in public since his stroke last year.
For years, Randy Travis' name has adorned the two welcome signs in his hometown, Marshville, N.C., but recently, those signs have been removed and replaced some that don't say 'Home of Randy Travis.'
Randy Travis' hometown of Marshville, N.C., has a new welcome sign -- and it's missing the singer's name.
Randy Travis has released a new music video for his song 'Don't Worry 'Bout Me,' but the singer doesn't actually appear in the clip.
Randy Travis is gearing up to release a new 13-track album, 'Influence Vol. 2: The Man I Am,' this August.
After suffering a stroke last July, Randy Travis may finally be on a road to recovery.

Berkowitz to sit in for injured RSO conductor in Pops Series opener Oct. 12
Online Staff Report
Rockford Symphony Orchestra (RSO) Music Director Steven Larsen, who recently sustained an injury, will be unable to conduct this Saturday's (Oct. 12) opening Rockford Health System Pops Series concert. In his absence, the RSO has announced that famed conductor Michael Berkowitz will be conducting the RSO in his absence. Berkowitz appeared with the RSO during the 2006/07 season on the Simply Sinatra concert.
"Berkowitz has an outstanding reputation as a pops conductor," Larsen said. "While I'm very disappointed not to be able to conduct this weekend, the RSO couldn't be in better hands."
Larsen is expected to make a full recovery and be back conducting the RSO for the Nov. 9 Classics Concert.
Berkowitz is the principal pops conductor of the Santa Rosa Symphony in Santa Rosa, Calif. Most recently, he served as music director/conductor for Liza Minnelli, working with her on her Tony Award-winning Liza's At The Palace on Broadway and in concerts around the world.
Berkowitz served as Marvin Hamlisch's music director for nine years, appearing with him at the White House, the London Symphony and the Academy Awards, as well as virtually every symphony in the U.S. He also had a 13-year working relationship with arranger Nelson Riddle, as his drummer, assistant conductor and musical contractor.
On Broadway, Berkowitz has collaborated with theater legends such as Harold Prince, Stephen Sondheim, Jule Styne, Michael Bennett, Bob Fosse, Jerome Robbins and Michael Kidd. In addition to Minnelli, Berkowitz has appeared with Elaine Paige, Michael Crawford, Beyonce, Harry Connick Jr., Steve Lawrence, Helen Reddy, Jon Bon Jovi, Chuck Berry, Ringo Starr, Roger Daltrey, Hal Linden, Sting and Billy Joel, to name a few.
The Saturday, Oct. 12, concert, featuring saxophone quartet Capitol Quartet and a special appearance by the Rockford Wind Ensemble, begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Coronado Performing Arts Center.
Tickets are still available online at www.rockfordsymphony.com or by calling the RSO Box Office at (815) 965-0049. Ticket prices range from $22 to $65. Student tickets are $7.

Their new technology (referenced in the article as "PeopleMeter") allows them to passively monitor all the audible marks that you hear during the day. They listen for encoded signals in the audible streams of radio stations, television stations, retail outlets and (now) video games. This lets them count how many eyes (or ears, as it were) are on a specific media stream at a given time which, in turn, sets the "demand" for the advertising market. World of Warcraft will be going up against Howard Stern and
I'm sure the hackers in us all are VERY curious as to how this encoding works... no?
That's not entirely true... It's definitely true for television-only habits, but the PeopleMeter extends beyond that.
Neilson (and Arbitron) are moving into new markets. Markets that Tivo, digital cable, and satellite receivers cannot tap into without significant infrastructure changes. Additionally, they will (supposedly) be able to gauge how many viewers are actually at the set, and not in the kitchen making a sandwich (assuming that surveyors carry their mobile receivers around with them).

Look for agencies to adopt the technology in areas that make sense
As parts of the nation were hammered by massive snow storms in February, hits on the National Weather Service's Web site reached about 2 billion — twice the previous record for a serious weather event.
Despite that unprecedented traffic, the site never crashed. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which runs Weather.gov, was able to tap into private computer networks to handle the increased demand.
This episode perfectly encapsulates the federal government's use case for cloud computing: It is elastic, which allowed NOAA to tap into resources when needed and then scale things back when the crisis subsided. And the way NOAA started using cloud computing — when wide public engagement suddenly became paramount — should serve as a model for other agencies as they discover their own needs for external computing services.
In other words, the cloud revolution will probably take place as an intermittent evolution, spurred in fits and starts by opportunity and necessity.
What's more, it will be Government 2.0 that forces the issue. The push for agencies to use social networking and be more transparent is designed to get more information to the public, which greatly reduces the security concerns that most worry cloud skeptics. The need to get information to the public quickly and efficiently is what made it a no-brainer for NOAA to turn to the cloud.
"The Weather Service is obviously interested in security from a standpoint of protecting the integrity of the data," said Robert Bunge, an Internet dissemination officer at NOAA. "But our core mission is to push the data out just as much and as fast as we can."
During most of the year, the Weather Service runs its Web site on NOAA-owned servers. But when big weather events occur, the agency taps resources from private contractors, such as Mirror Image, a content delivery network. Mirror Image hosted the Weather Service's radar displays from Feb. 5 to Feb. 12 as snow storms pummeled the East Coast and South.
Similarly, other federal agencies have turned to cloud computing via social media to quickly communicate during times of crisis. In several of these instances, the cloud was a by-now familiar name.
"Facebook was a key component of response efforts by government agencies and relief organizations immediately following the Haiti and Chile earthquakes," said Andrew Noyes, a spokesman for the social networking site that has nearly 400 million members.
And as open-government efforts continue to expand within the federal government, cloud computing is sure to play a major role. Chris Kemp, NASA Ames Research Center's chief information officer, said cloud computing will likely serve as the principal enabler of open-government and Gov 2.0 efforts.
"As we begin to open up our data, it will be difficult to predict what information will be most popular," Kemp said. "If the data is highly dynamic and very popular, the low cost and elasticity of the cloud may be the only way we will be able to afford to serve up the data. On the other hand, if the data doesn't get mashed up on everyone's favorite new Web site, zero investment in infrastructure is a wonderful thing."
Reducing Complexity
Although agencies will turn to cloud computing when it makes sense, the transition will have challenges. Cloud computing is a classic disruptive technology that has the potential of enabling unexpected breakthroughs.
As with any disruptive innovation, Kemp said, the entire ecosystem — in this case, federal IT policy, the procurement framework and agencies' culture — must adapt to the new values required to support the principles of cloud computing before the majority of federal agencies can benefit.
Many of the fundamentals remain the same, but with at least one notable exception. Previous technological evolutions became more difficult because of the growing complexity of software, infrastructure and policy frameworks. The cloud evolution, on the other hand, aims to reduce that complexity so agencies can focus on using software to solve problems instead of solving problems so that they can use software.
But if the hype machine seems to be pushing agencies to get into cloud computing just because it's there, that's probably not the way the technology will be adopted. The need precedes the deed.
"People have come to me over the last year or so and said, 'We need to be in the cloud, we need to be in the cloud,'" NOAA's Bunge said. "It is a 'Dilbert' moment for me because, well, we first started using the cloud before Hurricane Isabel in 2003."
The Weather Service, in this instance, found its particular use case long ago. "For delivering applications, it is more revolutionary," Bunge allowed. "But for Web dissemination, it's been used by federal agencies for a number of years."

British Airways has announced plans to upgrade its facilities at New York's JFK International Airport.
Work will begin next month on the $30 million (£15.2 million) project which will involve the construction of a new premium check-in pavilion.
An exclusive check-in area for Club World and Executive Club Silver passengers will also be built and the airline plans to renovate its existing First Class and Concorde Lounges.
BA plans to model the lounges on the ones now in operation at Terminal 5 in London Heathrow after the airline relocated its services to the new development earlier this year.
The work is due to coincide with the launch of several new routes from Europe to JFK, explained BA's executive vice president of the America's Robin Hayees.
He commented: "The redevelopment project is perfectly timed as British Airways plans to expand the number of flights to the UK as well as launch, this June, its new OpenSkies airline operating flights to Paris and New York."
The airline is to add a new route from London Gatwick to JFK in October and will launch flights from London City Airport to New York early next year.

Blu Dot Skiff Outdoor Stacking Chair
About the ManufacturerThe goal of Blu Dot is to bring good design to as many people as possible, which means creating products that are useful, affordable, and desirable. To make that happen, their design process is founded on collaboration. Not just among themselves, as they play show-and-tell with concepts, but a total collaboration between pencil and paper, materials and machines, even packaging and assembly. Blu Dot's designers like to think that the form is almost inevitable, a by-product of the process. Their job is simply to help it emerge as beautifully and as efficiently as possible. brbr Blu Dot was formed by three college friends - John Christakos, Charles Lazor, and Maurice Blanks, who shared a passion for art, architecture, and design. After they left college and began to furnish their first homes, they didn't like the stuff they could afford and couldn't afford the stuff they liked. They figured they were not alone and were naïve enough to try and do something about it. Blu Dot was born in 1997. Since then, the idea that good design is not just about beauty or form - it should also be about making everyone's lives just a little easier and a little more enjoyable.

Not exactly a "desktop stripper" though... More like a "desktop girlfriend" or "desktop wife". The idea is funny, but it didn't have a real quick wit to it or interesting chemistry between the characters. You could have done a lot more with this, but you didn't.
Good animation, fair graphics, decent humor, and high-quality voice acting though. Good job!
You pretty much spelled out the overall joke of this whole thing. "More like a 'desktop girlfriend'".
I disagree about the chemistry but thanks for the comment.
Ahh... relationships..
Papa Don't Preach
The style you presented here is good, I especially liked how you formatted the desktop and the situations used for the stripper. Also it was a nice touch on the main character changing his shirt for each day. The animation is good, but not much is going on and the main character's keyboard typing is a bit lackluster. The story what can I say is freaking hilarious and I think that this could have been taken much further from what you did with it, but anything is possible in sequel land, I was wondering if she would blackmail him with a video she recorded through the computer of him masturbating and send it to his family and friends. The ending although dark is still actually funny and creepy kind of a shame that this wasn't release before Halloween. All in all I liked this.
|| Good Points ||
*Superb Artwork
*Great Animation
*Great Sound

*Superb Voice
*Superb Story
|| Bad Points ||
Your idea of her blackmailing him is funny, but I think that if I added it it would have somehow messed up with the fairly quick flow of things. Thanks for the review.
Very Interesting
It's nicely drawn for a funny cartoon. It sort of has an odd and serious sense of humor. It's sorta funny at the beginning, and at the end if you want to creep people out you did a good job... And somehow i find the F*CK YOU pop-ups funny. But it's to serious for a good laugh
overall a pretty well done job so 4/5 8/10
Very good, the end gave me a feeling in my stomach(or was that the sandwich I ate that made me watch this video???) You have to make more of these!!!

Robyn Greenspan | August 4, 2004 | Comments
E-tailers are creating dialog with customers, but they aren't always speaking the same language.
E-tailers and consumers are communicating, but the conversation is sometimes one-sided, according to research regarding feedback best practices and email responses. With Forrester Research projecting U.S. e-commerce sales to grow from $144 billion in 2004 to $316 billion in 2010, merchants who want a piece of the pie will have to improve interaction.
OpinionLab's analysis of the comScore-identified top 50 Web sites revealed that, while improvements have been made, feedback best practices – visibility, consistency, stability, accessibility and anonymity – are not always applied.
Only 28 percent of the top 50 Web sites provided users with a feedback opportunity on every page, and fewer than 10 percent of the audited sites collected quantifiable feedback, diminishing their abilities to make improvements.
Furthermore, a collaborative survey of 433 e-tail insiders from ForeSee Results and Internet Retailer revealed that 27 percent were poorly satisfied by their current Web site research tools to measure satisfaction. Fewer than half (45 percent) said they were somewhat satisfied.
On average, it takes 2.30 mouse clicks to submit feedback among the top 50 sites, but OpinionLab suggests that one click should be enough. Also, only 16 percent of sites ensured that their feedback technique is always visible "above the fold" – the section before a user has to scroll. This percentage represents a quadruple increase over 2003, but a decrease over 2002 when 19 percent of surveyed sites had highly visible feedback techniques.
Just over one-quarter (26 percent) of the evaluated sites returned users to the Web page they were visiting prior to submitting feedback – up from 14 percent in 2003. Most (80 percent) of the audited Web sites prevented anonymous feedback, suggesting that e-tailers may be confusing feedback with customer service.
And speaking of customer service, Jupiter Research (a Jupitermedia Corp. division) evaluated email response rates for roughly 245 sites and found that nearly all offered email as a customer support option, but roughly half of them acknowledged receipt with an automated response. Just a scant 6 percent sent a personal or customized email as a first response.
"A lot of the autoresponses said that they [the customer] should receive an email in a specific amount of time or links to self-help," said Zachary McGeary, research associate with Jupiter Research.
Not all of the follow-up emails materialized. Well over one-third (39 percent) of the evaluated sites waited more than 3 days to respond to a customer email, if they even bothered to respond at all. Deeper analysis revealed, according to McGeary, that the greater share of the 39 percent didn't respond at all.
On the other end of the spectrum, just under one-third of audited sites responded within 6 hours of the initial contact. "This [response time period] has gone up year-over-year and more focus on delivering within the 6-hour time range than the 6 to 24-hour range," said McGeary.
While e-tailers strive for the 6-hour time range as a way to increase customer satisfaction and transition customers from phone to email, the ForeSee Results/Internet Retailer report says that call centers are actually exhibiting the greatest growth within the feedback loop.
Response times may soon undergo a shift, as McGeary noted that customers are actually willing to wait one full business day for a response. "We actually show a growing complacency from customers," he said. "Companies are now surveying customers and they are saying what our data reflects. They are willing to wait longer – up to 24 hours – for an email response," said McGeary.
