Doing what: Pagsanjan Falls Adventure from Manila
Our guide was very knowledgeable about all the different areas we went to on our way to the falls and the falls were amazing. Definitely recommend making a visit to them if in the area.

Fantastic trip away from the hectic Manila! The falls are very beautiful! Don't miss out the chance to boat in the back of the falls:) On the way to the falls, we also stopped at some local vendors and tried out some local sweets, as well as the notorious balut! ohhh I had such a blast!
Doing what: Pagsanjan Falls Adventure from Manila
The offered tour here is considered a VIP tour from the tour company in the Philippines. It is a really convenient way to book a tour to Pagsanjan, and the tour would be just for you and your travel companions--essentially a private tour. The included meal is a nice way to end the river ride. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable (he was a retired history and literature professor of the University of the Philippines) about the local towns in Laguna as we made our way to Pagsanjan, and the resort staff where we boarded was very attentive.
For travelers on a budget, and not minding if there are others on the tour, it would be cheaper to contact the tour company directly. For a small group wanting a private tour experience with an included meal, this price here is still a bit pricey, but worth it for the convenience.

Long drive because of traffic , but beautiful river canoe ride and falls was spectacular
Doing what: Pagsanjan Falls Adventure from Manila
We were not given enough information prior to our tour regarding the fact we needed to be wearing bathers and thongs as we would be getting wet on the tour. Also the boatmen tried to rip us off by telling us they wanted 1000 pesos each as a tip and another amount for the other guy who towed the canoe on the first stretch of river. We had already paid for the tour and thought this excessive, especially as they expect you to buy them drinks and lunch as well. The actual scenery on the canoe trip was wonderful and the dexterity of the boatmen getting us through the narrow parts of the river and over the rocks was amazing.

I thought this was an overpriced and mediocre tour. I didnt think the Guide knew a lot. I was disappointed we didnt spend enough time at San Augustins - we werent taken to the Museum. Rizal park was massive and we were given only 20 minutes there. It was a waste of time.

Was picked up exactly on time and everything went as promised in the description. However at Ocean Park I was told I would be left there and would have to return to mu hotel on my own (Not as promised). Rick, the tour guide, told me to go upstairs to the Makan Restaurant where they were expecting me. No coupon was given. At the restaurant no one seemed to know anything about a free lunch for me. After a whole lot of phone calls and around 20 minutes later they gave me a seat and a fantastic menu with dozens of options. However when I ordered I was told I could choose my meal only from a limited choice of 4 options. I ordered, had my nice iced tea, one bite of the awful meal and left. The only redemption to the bad end of an otherwise nice day was the awesome sea lion show - a must see and definitely the highlight of my Manila stay.

Firstly, this tour is not worth doing from Manila, its a very early pickup 4am, NOT 7am like in the voucher and you spend most of your day in a minibus 2-3 hrs each way. The guide we had barely spoke a word to us all day, and the expert guide for the hike didnt speak English at all. The guide asked us what time we wanted lunch, and we said noon, but he didnt inform us that you dont reach the summit until around 1pm and they dont bring lunch or any snacks for you even though every other guide we saw brought food up for his customers ours didnt. Its then 2 hours back to the minibus, and other 30 mins to lunch so we didnt eat until 3:30pm. They ordered the food in advance, and must have cooked it at that time because it was stone cold. But luckily we were starving by then and would eat anything. The 4x4 adventure was us crammed in the back of a jeep with 4 other people trying not to hit our heads on the roof while the driver went a breakneck speeds over rocks and streams. Fun for the driver, not for you. And the description is a complete lie, because its a local guy who drives the 4x4, NOT you. For the very high price of this tour we paid 250 CAD/pp this is a huge disappointment and rip-off. You can pay WAAYY less to go to Lake Taal for the day and its probably just as good. I feel cheated and would not recommended this tour to anyone.

Package Arrived!
I was feeling extremely tired today so i decided today would be a perfect off day!
Supplement dosing:
I took the first dose of Tekno3 pills at 11:00, and then took the second at 3:00.
Right now, its to early to tell, but my veins seem a little more "out there"!
Inspirtational Thought:
I hoping this is the pump i will get from this product!
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
I got my calories 3500 calories in and drank over 2 gallons today! I was pissin right and left! Here is a picture of my tuna sandwich:
:bb2: -
This looks like a solid product, i'll give it a shot in the future.
The tablets remind me of Nitrix, and the fact that you need to take 8 pills a day for Tekno3 and 9 pills a day for nitrix, they seem alot alike!
Ill try to investigate this matter further upon the similarities between these two products. Thanks for coming into my log! - 10-22-2006, 05:05 AM

The most injuries I see in lifting are the back and shoulder.
Hopefully it isn't too serious.
When I had shoulder pains I dropped flat benchpress with barbell and started pshing my shoulder blade together pretending there was a $100 bill in the middle. I've been pain free every since...
DC also had a sticky on his forums for shoulder pains you might want to check out... I forgot what his forums are called.. - 11-03-2006, 12:05 AM

I usually use thick bread pieces:
I get a can of tuna, open it.
Put it in a bowl, add half a can of cut up chicken. Then i add some mayonasse and some honey mustard. Then i put in some chives and some italian herbs.
Then i sip on some protein!

Supplement Dosing: Upon waking up, i popped in the 6 pills with 20 ozs of water. At around 3:00 pm, i took another dose of 4 pills.
Pump, muscle fullness
Ive decided to change things up a bit, today i took 6 pills in the morning and 4 before my workout. I am hoping it will produce more of a pump.
MEALS: My food was on tap today!

I don't see how you could like hockey and not be somewhat interested in how a match-up between Ovechkin/Semin would fare against Crosby/Malkin. That is an exciting game. Do you watch the Wings just because of the city they are from, or are you watching because it's interesting to see how the game unfolds? Knowing the attributes of Wings players and how it factors into the progression of the game is just icing on the cake. I would argue a hockey fan would usually be interested in how a game unfolds between two highly skilled teams.I think there's a difference between a "hockey fan" and an "NHL fan". Outside of watching pretty much every Wings game. I watch more college hockey than watching NHL games featuring other teams unless were talking NHL playoffs.

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
Collection "X" by Hunter Douglas Hospitality celebrates the urban luxury and modernist spirit of the past while boasting the creativity of designer Stacy Garcia.
By Janet Wiens
Garcia's sketch for On the Rocks (below) features a blend of circles that come together to create an eye-catching and somewhat understated pattern. The final rendition of the pattern is shown on the pillow above.
Designers wanting upholstery fabrics that reflect design influences from the 1950s, '60s and '70s are certain to give Collection "X" lots of attention. This new line of textiles features bold, mid-century modern images as created by designer Stacy Garcia for Hunter Douglas Hospitality (HDH). The result is an inspiring collection that gives designers of hospitality projects a host of new fabric options.
Laura Roman, vice president at HDH, says that Collection "X" is part of the company's on-going commitment to meeting price ranges in the market. "Our goal is to continually evaluate our lines to meet the needs of the hospitality market," she says. "We felt there was a need to provide a designer line that would be appropriate for luxury properties and upper-end installations, and we believe that we have fulfilled that goal with this product."
Collection "X" boasts playful patterns that come in four to 12 colorways to give designers a wide range of options for their installations. Reds, orange, gray, green, brown and a host of other colors are all available in the collection.
HDH previously collaborated with Garcia on the Evolution Collection, which was introduced at HD 2006. Roman says that the company has a long-term relationship with Garcia and that more offerings reflecting the company's collaboration with her will be introduced in the future. "Stacy understands our business goals, the marketplace and, like us, is committed to giving designers the products they need to meet the expectations of their clients. We think in the same way and that makes bringing new products to the market an easier and enjoyable proposition."
For her part, Garcia, president and chief executive officer of Stacy Garcia Inc., found her inspiration for Collection "X" by looking at images from 30 to 50 years ago. "I wanted something that was contemporary, edgy and colorful," she says. "I kept picturing images of hip, cool lounges and swanky bars when I began working on the line."
Garcia says that "X" is the most mysterious letter in the alphabet, but there is no mystery when it comes to the quality and craftsmanship of the collection. The fabrics meet all requirements as specified by the Association of Contract Textiles (ACT) and are constructed from blends of cotton, acrylic, polyester, rayon and/or olefin. Both Roman and Garcia state that the line meets requirements for durability, luxury and aesthetics-a combination that is sometimes difficult to achieve.
The names of the patterns in Collection "X" reflect the bar/lounge images that inspired Garcia. Pictured are Spritzer in Merlot (back pillow) and Tiki in Shirley Temple.
"The collection offers designers a myriad of opportunities because of the patterns, textures and colors that are available," says Garcia. "The understated color palettes let the designs speak in a bold way that will add depth to any installation."
Reaction from the marketplace has been overwhelming and the collection has already been used in projects outside of the hospitality market. For example, Garcia reports that one of the patterns was specified in an oceanfront timeshare because it reminded the designer of pebbles on the beach. The available colorway reflects the rich and varied blues and greens found in the ocean, which further made the pattern an appropriate choice and exemplifies the collection's versatility.

The struggle for workers' collective bargaining rights suffered a blow in Indiana, but the fight is not over yet.
Despite months of protests by unionists and legislative tactics by Indiana House Democrats, Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels and Republican lawmakers are "ramming through a right to work for less bill," according the AFL-CIO news blog. But House Democrats countered with another filibuster by leaving the state.
For months thousands of Indiana unionists have been protesting the possibility of this legislation at mass rallies and sit-ins at the Indiana Statehouse.
The right-to-work (for less) law the GOP is pushing is similar to ones in place in 22 other states. Those laws prohibit union contracts from requiring workers to pay union dues but require unions to represent everyone at the workplace, including those who do not pay dues.
On Tuesday night Gov. Daniels delivered his State of the State speech to a General Assembly where at least a third of the seats were empty due to boycotting Democrats. And Daniels faced a gauntlet of booing protesters in the Statehouse hallways.
A formal reply to Daniels' State of the State address was organized by unionists to deal specifically with anti-worker legislation.
South Bend teacher Jennifer Peck was quoted as saying:
On his first day in office, Gov. Daniels took away the collective bargaining rights of public workers, and then he further restricted the collective bargaining rights of teachers like me. Now he's going after everyone else. As a teacher, I'm already paying the price for these partisan politics; however I am here tonight because I know that a 'right to work' law would make things so much worse for Hoosiers.
Indiana Republicans claim that the "right to work" bill would attract businesses to Indiana for its lower labor costs and then at some time in the future this might increase workers' wages.
University of Notre Dame labor economist Marty Wolfson disputes that argument.
"The Indiana Chamber of Commerce report on Right to Work (RTW) states that higher incomes will come about from more businesses relocating to Indiana due to lower labor costs. This is the logic of the RTW argument, but it is a rather uncomfortable and contradictory argument to make - that we need to lower the wages of workers in Indiana in order to improve incomes," says Wolfson, associate professor of economics and director of Notre Dame's Higgins Labor Studies Program.

According to the statement, the inquiry recommended investigations into the national carrier's "entire re-fleeting process".
Sri Lanka's new government has ordered a criminal investigation into alleged corruption at the state-run national airline that it says involved "billions of dollars".
China successfully completed the second ground test of a power system for its next- generation carrier rocket that will boost its capability to enter space.
"Air India Board discussed the budget for the next fiscal. The airline's financial projections for FY 16 look quite promising," an official source said.
China today said it has completed a successful ground test on the power system of the country's next-generation carrier rocket for its space programme.
Three cargo tanks on the vessel were ruptured, releasing an unknown quantity of the gasoline additive, said Coast Guard Capt Brian Penoyer.
Zhang took pictures of the vessel when authorities discovered he had 500 pictures of the Liaoning, which had been supplied to his contact.
Rajiv Shukla (Congress) alleged that the transfer of routes had found mention in an earlier report of Air India itself.

Dual FET recomendation
Anybody here used dual FET transistors? I'm looking for small-signal dual NMOS and dual PMOS for a new project.
I'm building a differential passive IVC, and I would like the transistors for the two phases to be well matched and at the same temperature. The transistors I have found online are mostly power devices. I have no need to run 8A through them, a 30mA bias current will be just fine. The other thing I may need is a relatively high Vds, at least 25V. Any suggestions appreciated. Børge |

The package doesn't really matter.
I have used dual PNPs and NPNs that were some sort of tiny package where I couldn't route between the pins. That worked out okay, but I wouldn't mind having a bit more space to play with. The application I'm working on (common gate impedance transformer that keeps a DAC's current output at a relatively steady voltage) is a very good fit for an NMOS but not as suited for other transistor topologies. I checked at Farnell. They have some transistors that are probably worth testing, but those are beasts that can sustain 8A and thereabouts. Børge |

That Corp. have some nice looking bipolars. I may use those in my output stages. I wish they had similar FETs too.
www.linearsystem.com points to the amplifier manufacturer PSS. It doesn't look like they deal in transistors. Could you specify the link please? Thanks, Børge |

On Semiconductor might be worth looking into.
Here are a couple of examples, these are for dual mosfets http://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/MMDF1N05E-D.PDF http://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/NTJD4001N-D.PDF Theyre all surface mount so they might be a bit more tedious to work with. Just go to their website and start searching if you want to see more. http://www.onsemi.com/PowerSolutions...PowerSolutions |

Thanks Glen,
some of those parts from ON-semi look very nice. I'll start requesting samples. I'll be making proto PCBs of this circuit anyway, so I don't mind them being SMDs. Børge |

Biggest IPO in history
"Whether you are in a large business or a small business, no matter since how long you are in a business infusion of funds is always welcome."
There are different ways through which a person can raise funds initial public offering is one of the way.
Initial public offering:-
A private company sale its stock for the first time to the general public this process is known as Initial public offering i.e. IPO.
A private company can be a new, young or an old company.
Companies can raise equity capital in two ways:-
- Issuing new shares to the public
- Existing shareholders can sell their shares to the public
The company which offers its shares in the market is an issuer.
After IPO is released the company's shares are traded in an open market and the investors can further sell their shares in the secondary market trading.
Why companies issue an IPO?
The different reasons why companies should issue an IPO are:-
- It increases capital for the issuer and the company gets access to capital market for future financing needs
- It creates a type of currency in the form of its stock which a business can use to make acquisitions.
- Going public will improve the company's debt to equity ratio which helps company in getting more favorable loan terms from lenders.
- By going public the company and its management are able to retain a certain degree of control. For example if you issue shares to the venture capitalist they may require that a person of its choosing be put on the board of directors. With a public offering these sorts of obligation are avoided.
- It result in promoting a company and the company can gain publicity and an image of stability by trading publicly.
- Public companies are able to offer stock options, which have the potential to substantially increase in value.
Biggest IPO in history
When it comes to IPO there is always a lot of hype that gets created in the market. Sometimes this hype works and sometimes it doesn't work. Your company may be performing really well and may be liked by the public but just on the day of launch on the stock exchange it may become a nightmare to you and your IPO may become a super duper Flop it can be vice versa as well and your company IPO can become one of the biggest IPO in the history.

Agricultural Bank of China is Agricultural Cooperative Bank is established in the year 1951.
The bank has been evolved from a state – controlled commercial bank to a wholly state – owned commercial bank and subsequently a state controlled commercial bank in the year late 1970
In January 2009, the bank was restructured into a joint stock limited liability company
In July 2010, the bank was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which had transformed the bank into a public shareholding commercial bank.
In 2012 , as per Fortune Global 500 the bank is ranked no 84 and as per the Bankers " Top 1000 World Banks " this bank is ranked no 5 on basis of profit before tax for the year 2011.
In the year 2012, the credit ratings that were assigned to bank are

The bank's issuer | A/A-1 | Standard & Poor's |
The bank deposits | A1/P-1 | Moody's Investors Service |
The long-/short-term foreign-currency issuer default ratings | A/F1 | Fitch Ratings |
The Bank's outlook ratings assigned by the above credit rating agencies were "stable".
ABC was the last of the "big four" banks in China to go public.
In 2010, "A" shares of Agricultural bank of China was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Per share cost was set in the range of 2.7RMB – 3.3RMB. The IPO Process for the Shanghai portion was handled by the companies like CICC, Citic Securities, Galaxy and Guotai Junan Securities.

Current Financial ratios i.e. 2013 of the companies of Biggest IPO in history
P/E Ratio
Source : Reuters
P/ E ratio is calculated as Market Price per share/ Earnings per share. P/E Multiple ratio suggest how much an investor is willing to pay per dollar of earnings
So a high P/E ratio suggests that an investor is expecting a higher growth in the earnings of the companies as compared to accompany having low P/E ratio
Looking through the graph we can see that Facebook has highest Price earnings ratio whereas Bank of China has the lowest.
Price to Sales ratio
Source : Reuters
This ratio is calculated as Price / Sales .This ratio suggests the value which is placed on each dollar of a company's sales or revenues.
This ratio of a company should be on average as a high ratio would mean the company is overvalued whereas a low ratio would mean the company is undervalued.
Looking at the graph we can see that as compared to other companies Facebook has high Price / sales ratio and general motors has the lowest. To come to a conclusion whether a company is really over valued or undervalued we will have to find out its industry's and competitors performance.
Price to Book value
Source : Reuters
This ratio is calculated as Current closing stock price/Latest Quarter book value per share.
A company having a low Price / book value would mean that company is undervalued. It could also imply that a company is fundamentally weak.
Looking at the graph we can see that Facebook has the highest price to book value and Nippon telegraph & telephone has the lower. However looking at this graph we cannot jump to conclusion whether a company is overvalued or undervalued. For this we will have to check how its sector and its competitors are performing as the number of price to book value would vary as per the industry.
Price to cash flow ratio
Source : Reuters
This ratio is calculated as Share Price/Cash flow per share. This ratio suggests the market expectations for the future financial health of the company.
A high would imply that the market expects a good financial health of the company in future. Looking at the graph we can see that Facebook has the highest ratio whereas Nippon telegraph & telephone has the lowest. But this ratio varies as per the industry.
Net profit margin
Source : Reuters
This ratio is calculated as net profit/net sales. It suggests that how much out of every dollar a company keeps in its earnings.
A high profit margin would mean that the company is highly profitable and it is one of the best ratios to look at when you are comparing companies in similar industries.
Return on equity
Source : Reuters
Return on equity is calculated as Net income / Shareholders equity. This ratio measures how much profit a company has generated with the money which the shareholders have invested. Higher the ratio better it is for the company. Looking at the graph we can see that industrial and commercial bank of china has the highest ROE.
Stock price return
Source : Reuters

Who do you think will win the US Presidential election?
Related Links

A day after a muted performance in a presidential debate, US President Barack Obama fought back against Republican rival Mitt Romney and the Democrat's re-election campaign vowed to learn lessons from the setback.
A feisty Obama told a rally of some 12,000 people that the former Massachusetts governor was untruthful during yesterday's 90-minute debate in Denver, which most observers reckoned the Republican won.
"When I got onto the stage, I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney," Obama said.
"But it couldn't have been Mitt Romney, because the real Mitt Romney has been running around the country for the last year promising US$5 trillion (NZ$6.1t) in tax cuts that favour the wealthy. The fellow on stage last night said he didn't know anything about that."
Often criticised for being wooden, Romney's aggressive debate performance gave his campaign a burst of energy after weeks of setbacks.
Looking at times tired and displeased, Obama did not seize opportunities to attack the Republican on his business record at Bain Capital, the "47 per cent" video and his refusal to release more income tax returns.
With two more presidential debates before the November 6 Election Day, senior aide David Axelrod said the Obama campaign would adjust its strategy as a result of the debate.
"We are going to take a hard look at this and we are going to have to make some adjustments as to where to draw the lines in these debates and how to use our time," he told reporters.
Romney prepared for the Denver encounter with days of mock debates and was more ready to go on the offensive against Obama in detailed discussion on taxes, jobs, energy and the budget deficit.
Obama is unlikely to add "huge amounts of additional prep time", for the two other debates, on October 16 in New York and on October 22 in Florida, Axelrod said.
Part of the Obama strategy will be to attack Romney for what the Democratic campaign says are untruthful statements during the debate on his tax plan, Medicare and deficit cutting, as well as pressing him on what appeared to be changes in position on issues like bank regulation.
"We obviously are going to have to adjust for the fact of Mitt Romney's dishonesty," senior advisor David Plouffe said. "It's hard to remember a time in American politics when you have someone who is a major nominee for the presidency being that fundamentally dishonest about core parts of his campaign platform."
Obama spoke to a large crowd in Madison, Wisconsin, on Thursday afternoon (local time) that his campaign said was 30,000 strong.
Romney had a slight swagger about him as he made a surprise visit to a meeting of conservatives in Colorado on Thursday morning. The crowd whooped and cheered as he was introduced.
"Last night I thought was a great opportunity for the American people to see two very different visions for the country. And I think it was helpful to be able to describe those visions," he said.
The debate win was badly needed by Romney, whose poll numbers had dropped in recent weeks after several missteps and the release of a damaging video showed him disparaging 47 per cent of the electorate as dependent on government aid.
Going into the debate, Obama held a lead of 5 to 6 percentage points over Romney in most national polls, and is ahead by at least narrow margins in almost all the battleground states where the election will be decided.
But Romney is now viewed positively by 51 per cent of voters, the first time he has enjoyed a net positive in the presidential race, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken after the debate. Obama's favourability rating remained unchanged at 56 per cent.
Analysts said they still favoured the Democratic president's re-election chances.
"Nobody is going to switch sides on the basis of this debate," said Samuel Popkin, a political science professor at the University of California at San Diego.
With the election little more than a month away, Romney might be running out of time to seize the lead. Voting has already begun in some form or another in 35 states including in battlegrounds like Ohio and Iowa.
"For now we'll chalk this up as a wake-up call for the president, who still has a vastly superior campaign organisation and owns the pivotal issue of Medicare," Greg Valliere, chief political analyst at Potomac Research Group, said in a note to clients.
"But this is still a winnable election for Romney and that was the ultimate take-away last night," he said.
Obama faces another hurdle as soon as Friday morning (local time), when the monthly jobs figures come out for September, a reminder of the tough economic plight faced by millions of Americans.
Economists polled by Reuters expect the unemployment rate to be anywhere between 8.0 and 8.3 per cent, with non-farm payrolls adding 113,000 new jobs, up from 96,000 in August.
In Europe, where leaders and finance officials have worked closely with the Obama administration to resolve the euro debt crisis, there was consternation at Romney's singling out of deficit-ridden Spain as a poorly administered economy.
"Romney is making analogies that aren't based on reality," Foreign Affairs Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo said after a meeting of his centre-right party.
France's Le Monde was surprised by the sub-par performance of Obama, who wowed Europe with his 2008 election. "Where did the favourite go?" the newspaper asked on its front page.
Republicans who were worried that Romney's recent dip in polls might also drag down candidates for the House of Representatives and Senate at the election were relieved.
"Republicans everywhere have reason to be optimistic after last night's performance," said Senator Mike Lee, a favourite of Tea Party conservatives who have often been wary of Romney as too moderate.
Within hours of the debate, Republicans launched a string of new ads hoping to capitalise on Romney's momentum. One had him presenting his plan for creating 12 million new jobs. Another, aired in Wisconsin by the Super PAC, Restore Our Future, called on voters to demand better than Obama's "new normal" economy.
Romney's support of the coal industry during the debate sent coal company stocks up on Thursday. The Dow Jones coal index was 5.05 per cent higher.
But shares of US hospital operators fell as Romney's strong showing raised doubts about the future of Obama's 2010 healthcare reform.

That's the advice Zagat has for anyone taking a seat at Jack?s Oyster Bar & Fish House, a Jack London Square joint backed by a culinary dream team drawn from Bocanova, Foreign Cinema, and other hotspots.

But there's plenty more here to lose one's head over, from enticingly fresh bivalves to crudos and ceviches. Bartenders pair food courses with beer, cocktails, and kegged wine made specially for Jack's, all of which can be savored on an outdoor patio with stunning bay views, or during games of musical chairs in a vintage-accented dining room. From the Chef Jack's most popular dish of all is the charred octopus, served splayed on the plate like an eight-legged star. But this dramatic presentation contrasts with the mellow flavor of the dish. "What makes it unique is. . . how tender it is,? chef-owner Richard Hackett told Groupon during a phone interview. ?What we do is slow-cook the octopus first, that takes a couple of hours. Then we put it on the grill so it gets a char." From the Press SFGate: "The oysters at Jack?s Oyster Bar and Fish House arrive in grand and classic style, served in a stainless metal dish begemmed with condensation." bites & bourbon: ". . . the food at Jack's Oyster Bar and Fish House is so damn good that you'll want to order everything on the menu, and then come back the next day for more."

Bit of a strange one coming from the B6 I now have the B7 and my lights options are off,auto side and full beam on the dial, however I have noticed that even when the dial is placed in the auto position my side lights come on when I am driving. This also applies to if I have the dial to the Off position, So question is what is going on is this normal and just a safety feature, or something else and does it have a negative impact on the normal wear and tear of the bulbs?
Sounds like a fault to me...... Side lights should be: Off - off Auto - off, unless it's dark Side - on Full - on
Sure its your side lights and not your drl's? check if you have a small switch next to the light switch that has a 1 and a 0 on it. 1 being on.
Whey hey, seems like I have another toy on my car they are DRL lights checked them this morning and well they do as it says on the tin. thanks to everyone who advised

Clean room and very friendly staff. Lovely serve yourself breakfast was a great start to each day too. The location of the Hotel is brilliant; having a coffee out by the canal with my first cigarette of the day was calming.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your comment which is a real source of motivation for all of us at Ibis La Villette. We are glad you enjoyed our hotel and its location. We really hope to welcome you again for your next stay in Paris. Best Regards, Anne Oury Operation Manager More
I booked this hotel from a popular site, and I payd id from my credit card. When i arrived at this hotel they told me that the bank didn't let them to take the money from my credit card and they "forced" me to pay in that evening again the hotel. When I arrived home I called the famous site... More
Had three nights here while attending a conference at the Cité des Sciences La Villette, this hotel suited the occasion perfectly. Room was small and simple, but perfectly clean and adequate. Bathroom WC is very tight - worked for me, but won't work if you have any mobility issues. Off the beaten path a little (in a good way!) next... More
Good price / quality hotel ans good base to visit Paris without paying to much. The bathroom is on the (to) small side of you compare to other Ibis hotels in soms other places. The hotel is very tidy.
I felt like I was in a chimney the whole time. I heard that french people like to smoke but my gosh! I've never been exposed to more second hand smoking the way I was while staying there. Woke up in the middle of the night because the room next door had a smoker. Complained about it, nothing was done!... More
Dear Guest, You have a lukewarm memory of your stay and you rightly highlighted certain insufficiencies in the service that was provided to you, and I have been made aware of them. I assure you that we are sorry and we present our sincerest apologies for this unpleasant experience. Your comments catch my entire attention. I attach considerable importance to... More
Staff very friendly and helpful, rooms clean and towels and sheets changed when needed. Breakfast consists of cereal, croissants, ham, cheese etc etc not an English breakfast but when in Rome as they say! Excellent value, quite a distance from centre but located very close to two metro stations and about a 10 min journey into centre with trains every... More
I stayed for 2 nights as I was going to a concert at the Zenith, just across the canal from the hotel. Actually although only across the canal from the venue it took 30 mins to walk to the theatre as we had to walk down to the nearest bridge and then a long walk through the park. Some of... More
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking some of your time to inform us about your stay. Your comments regarding the service attitude catched my entire attention. This is definitely not the quality of service we want to offer to our guests. Be assured that the appropriate measures have been taken to avoid any other occurence. If your are planning to... More
Handy location, positioned with views of the canal & Cite des Sciences park. The Ibis offers a secure & comfortable bed for a couple of nights sleep. As has been said before it's only a 10-15min walk through the park to Le Zenith, which would be a good reason for anyone going to a gig there to check in here.... More

Citroen pushes DS5 model with interactive mailer
By Ed Owen, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 12 March 2012 09:21AM
Citroen has invested in a direct mail campaign, designed with a personalised digital dimension, for its DS5 model.
The mailers, designed by Acuity, have gone out to 120,000 potential customers with a further 80,000 going to dealerships.
Smartphone users will be able to activate the digital watermark using a special app, developed by Digital Space.
Once the app is triggered, customers will be invited to call their local dealership, book a test drive, order a brochure, request a call back from their local dealer or register for dealership events.
Nearly 200 variants of the mailer will be sent, depending on the recipient, and personalised for dealers and specific DS models.
Jules Tilstone, marketing director, Citroen UK said: "Acuity's latest idea to create an engaging experience that bridges the gap between print and online, is just one in a long line of innovative ideas they have presented to us since we started working together".
Peter Cronin, managing director of Acuity said: "Most non-premium automotive brands are trying to move their products 'up-market' in attempts to increase margins. Brands in this space are particularly keen to engage with customers and build themselves into a lifestyle.
"Social media is particularly topical, as well as emerging technologies and apps. However, print is still a default method of communicating with customers en masse.
In spite of the unprecedented levels of personalisation now achievable by digital print, the vast majority of direct mail still follows a fairly generic model of a standard print piece, possibly personalised with a dealer's details. This represented an opportunity for Citroen UK to stand out from its competitors."
The campaign was developed with CRM agency The Listening Company.
