What is Propolis? Honeybees gather propolis, a resin, from tree bark and leaves. They combine this resin with nectar, creating a mix of wax, pollen and bee bread. They then use this substance to seal their hives, protecting it from outside contaminants. They also use propolis at the entrance to the hive to sterilize themselves as they come and go.
Ancient Healer While propolis is just now enjoying a rediscovery, its usefulness can be traced back to the time of Hippocrates, who used it to heal sores and ulcers, internally and externally. Through the ages historical documents record its use. Culpepper's Complete Herbal refers to ointments of Propolis for inflammation and fever. In WWII, it was used by the Soviet Union to treat battle wounds. Proppolis is an excellent natural antibiotic and immune system booster.
Nature's Penicillin Synthetic antibiotics carry with them side effects - propolis, a natural antibiotic, has no such side effects. Propolis has also been shown to fight bacterial strains that have become resistant to synthetic antibiotics.
Active Compounds from "Bee Pollen, Royal Jelly, Propolis, and Honey," by Rita Elkins, M.A. Dr. K. Lund Aagaard who is considered a well qualified authority on propolis has said, "Nineteen substances of different chemical structure have been identified so far." These compounds include a number of substances which belong to the flavonoid family including betulene and isovanillin.
Vitamin and Mineral Content from "Bee Pollen, Royal Jelly, Propolis, and Honey," by Rita Elkins, M.A. According to researchers at the Second Leningrad Scientific Conference on the Application of Apiculture (bee culture) in Medicine, Bee Propolis is rich in:
NOTE: Propolis contains 500 more bioflavonoids (vitamin P) than is found in oranges. Except for vitamin K, Propolis has all the known vitamins. Of the fourteen minerals required by the body, Propolis contains them all with the exception of sulfur. Propolis is comprised of 50 percent to 70 percent resins and balsams, 30 percent to 50 percent wax, 5 percent to 10 percent Bee Pollen and 10 percent essential oils. Like Royal Jelly and Bee Pollen, Propolis also contains a number of unidentified compounds which work together synergistically to create a perfectly balanced, nutritive substance.
Amino Acids from "Bee Pollen, Royal Jelly, Propolis, and Honey," by Rita Elkins, M.A. Sixteen amino acids have been identified in Propolis.
Character: from "Bee Pollen, Royal Jelly, Propolis, and Honey," by Rita Elkins, M.A. antibacterial,antiviral, antibiotic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant

EBSA experience in British Columbia
In my experience, one of the key elements of a successful process is transparency. The systematic conservation planning approach, with its explicit goals and objectives, works well to ensure transparency (Margules & Pressey 2000).
I was a participant at a review meeting (2007) of the process to identify EBSAs in British Columbia, Canada. If my memory serves me right, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) used a delphic process (interviews with experts) to identify areas of importance for key species and their life histories. The result was that all of the British Columbia coast was identified as important. They called these Important Areas (IAs). To identify EBSAs from these, the focus shifted to identifying physical features: oceanographic features that concentrate marine productivity, bottleneck areas where congestion occurs, and unique places (i.e., the hexactinellid sponge reefs). Many of the experts (many DFO scientists amongst them) who were interviewed in the Delphic process were present at the review meeting. My recollection of the gist of the conversation was there was a general and strong discontent at the EBSA results, and process used to identify them. The scientists at the meeting did not feel that the species-specific information was reflected sufficiently in the results, thought the physical features focused on were arbitrary, and did not think that the process was transparent. I do not believe any that the EBSA report changed to reflect these critiques. Please note that this meeting was held more than two years ago, that I was not involved in the EBSA process beyond attending the meeting, and hence my recollection of the event and critiques may not reflect the impression of others at the meeting.

I made a thread almost a year ago where I told you the police had a gun of mine that had been reported stolen. They told me that they had to send it to the state police to be tested. Cool. Well, I got a letter in the mail telling me to come pick it up about a week ago. The first time I went to get it, I was told only the detective could release it to me, but he wasn't there. I was told to call back. I called and spoke to the detective. He said to get it back, I had to produce a purchase permit. His attitude is like he really doesn't want to give it to me. I couldn't find the permit. But I know that they know it belongs to me, because they called me when they found it. I reported it missing to the Detroit Police, it was Lathrup Village that found it. Furthermore, they sent me a letter to come claim it. Why now, do I have to have a purchase permit to get it? Is this a law, or is the detective just trying to make me jump thru hoops? If I can't find the permit or get another copy, what should my next step be?

That seems a little rediculous that you have to be cleared the buy the weapon that you were cleared to own a year ago....Sorry for the headache but don't try to make sense out of gun laws.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline... "the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
They should be open to telling you what you need. Jump through the hoops like a good little dog and get your friggin gun back!!
People get the government they deserve.
I think they are just trying to find out if you legally own the weapon. Let's say when you reported it stolen, unless you presented the Detroit Police with some form of ownership, they entered the gun in the LEIN and NCIC systems with you as the person reporting the offense. That doesn't mean you own the gun. On the other hand, if the gun was registered to you, your name would show as the owner and you should get the gun back without having to produce a purchase permit. I have returned many guns to the registered owners without having them show a purchase permit or a purchase receipt as long as they were the registered owner on record.
"As an American, I was not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, but that America gave him the White House based on the same credentials"...Newt Gingrich The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.
Why wouldn't they just run the serial number and verify that he's the legal owner? Azzhats.
if you remember where you purchased it, go back to that establishment and ask for a copy of the 4473 form you had to fill out...........from there you should be able to substantiate that it is yours. all firearms dealers are required to keep EVERY 4473 on file until they close down, after that i don't know what happens to the forms.
"they may get me in a rush, but not before i turn your head into a canoe....." -Kurt Russell (Wyatt Earp) in Tombstone "if it was up to me, i'd like to see, this country run, the way it used to be, the way it oughta be, just like it's done, OUT HERE.........WAY OUT HERE." -Josh Thompson, country music singer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0sYnro_3Rchttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3R00rlA0S0&NR=1 PEOPLE TEND TO ACT LIKE SHEEP, BOY I LOVE MUTTON! -Me
I could make a list of a bunch of guns i have, or "have", or wish I had. Why would one feel compelled to provide that infornation freely? Do you feel the need to show off? Is it some immature game of oneupsmanship? Why do you feel it necessary to list your guns?
I don't think the issue is proving it is his. I think the issue is he needs to have his social security number called in to verify that he can legally own it before they let him have it. He could have committed a crime in the year the firearm was missing. Just my take on it.
i kinda went through the same BS here a lil while back....i had to go down to the evidence dept.,show my CHP,D.L.'s,copy of the report,receipt for the purchase of the gun 22lr NAA mini revolver...then i was told that i had to wait about a month,so the FBI could do some kind of background check on it.the lady told me if i wasnt the org. buyer of the firearm there was no way i would get it back...:/..then i was told that when it came back to them charlotte meck. police dept./evidence dept. i could get it back....well a lil more than a month went by,i went down to the police dept. and i was told that i had to go to court to see if the judge would let me get my gun back...so about 3 months later,i got my gun back...good luck

Unfortunately I'm on suicide watch. Can't really say the same. The medication helps a little, but if I look in a mirror I swear to god i'll blow my brains out. Low self esteem and depression are not fun at all. By the way, make sure the noose is attached to something sturdy. Damn doctors won't even give me pain killers for my broken neck.

80% of retail chains will maintain or increase spending on technology over the next three years, a new survey says.
Allison Enright , Editor
Some chain retailers are moving to incorporate digital technologies into their stores to enhance selling interactions, but a new survey shows many have a long checklist to work through first.
An online survey taken by 231 retail store executives in the United States, United Kingdom, France and Germany in fall 2013 shows 26% are already set up to interact with customers and complete transactions within physical stores via mobile devices. Of the 106 European retailers in the survey, 31% say they have digitized their stores versus 22% of U.S. retailers.
The majority of retailers, however, intend to make technology improvements, with 80% saying they expect to maintain or increase store technology investments over the next three years. The National Retail Federation, a trade group for retailers, created and ran the survey with the University of Arizona and e-commerce platform and technology vendor Demandware Inc.
Retailers say they want to be able to add functionality and services that are commonly used on e-retail sites to the sales floor. 73% of U.S. respondents say retailers should make enterprise-wide inventory search capabilities available to store clerks via mobile devices, 63% say clerks should be able to use mobile to guide the selling process, such as providing product recommendations, and 60% say clerks should be able to fulfill from stores.
But many retailers have to rework or replace back-end systems and rewire stores to make such services possible. To that end, 35.8% of respondents say they are considering single-platform systems that would merge technologies and data that are currently stored and managed separately, such as merchandising, supply chain and business administration applications. In stores, that may also mean replacing the software that runs point-of-sale terminals and the cash registers themselves. 50.4% of U.S. retailers say they will be making investments to improve traditional point-of-sale hardware in the next three years. To that end, among all respondents, 30.3% say they are considering e-commerce platform software with the capability to run store registers, versus 23% who say they are considering sticking with traditional point-of-sale software.
Retailers say they also need to rewire their stores to make mobile-assisted shopping possible. 48% of respondents say enabling wireless connectivity in stores is a major challenge.

RALEIGH, N.C., Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Cancer Coalition (NCC) is expanding its efforts to fight women's cancers in the developing world.
NCC has pledged to increase its commitment to assist underserved women's cancer patients at-risk of breast, cervical or ovarian cancers. Helping over 10,000 women in their battle against cancer last year, the Coalition is transforming the lives of underserved women around the globe.
"We have built a solid foundation for the expansion of our women's cancer programs," said Robert Landry, president of the National Cancer Coalition. "By devoting additional resources to these programs, we hope to more fully develop our women's cancer Centers of Excellence models that can then be replicated in other countries." NCC's goal is dynamic women's cancer care through comprehensive programs that focus on prevention, awareness and education, medical training, early detection, treatment, and social services.
During the past decade, the National Cancer Coalition has provided breast, cervical, and ovarian cancer therapies valued at more than $50 million to help at-risk overseas patients. This relief has been focused in the developing countries of the Dominican Republic, Ghana, Peru, and Paraguay. NCC partners with leading pharmaceutical and medical technology companies, including BD, BMS, Hospira, J&J, Merck, and TEVA to support its women's cancer programs. NCC looks forward to extending its reach by providing its programs in additional under-resourced countries.
NCC continues to build on its strong foundation of success in its recent initiatives, which include providing:
- Modern liquid based cytology testing enabling 75,000 women to detect cervical cancer early
- Mammogram and ultrasound diagnostic technology assess for early cancer detection
- Training of medical workers on cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment methods
- Cervical cancer vaccinations to help prevent cancer in thousands of girls
- Chemotherapy and adjunctive therapy access for underserved women with cancer
- Medical outreach and testing in rural communities with high rates of cancer
About National Cancer Coalition

JSF ValueChange problems and Default method where the form submits to

I have a datatable with 10 rows.
The first column in each row has a valuechange event. For e.g it's like, we enter the accountnumber and the valuechangeevent retrieves
the account information.
Now, i also have another column to display the cost. If user enters some amount, it should add up all the amounts in all the rows and
display it on a different column.
But the problem is, the user can enter a second account number at any point of time. then it will again be a valuechange event. now, since
it is a value change event, the information in the first row is not updated in the
. As such, i am losing the previously entered
amount for the first row.
Is there a way to implement this functionality without losing the previous information?
Also, when we use "javascript:this.form.submit();" in the
, where does the submit go? In other words, is there a default action method
that we can specify to go to?
Thank you,

Until just recently, I would have said that there is no way to do what you want. After a lot of research on the
lifecycle phases, I believe there is a way to get this to work within JSF, without having to go to an Ajax-like approach.
The essence of the problem is the rigid order of lifecycle phases in JSF. Updates to the data model (the backing bean) don't occur until after the request parameters have been parsed and standard validation rules applied. Value Change Events, which can only be fired from certain input components such as
etc, occur from a component with the
attribute set. When this happens, a specified
will be called at the "Apply Request Values" phase, which will happen before the model data is updated. If you want to skip validation and updating of model data, you have to call renderResponse( ) on the
, and that will skip those phases...if you don't, it will proceed through validation and model data update normally.
Here is an example of a properly formatted JSF component that will do as I described:
<h:selectOneRadio valueChangeListener="#{LoginBean.colorChange}" onchange="submit()" immediate="true" > <f:selectItem itemValue="0" itemLabel="Red"/> <f:selectItem itemValue="1" itemLabel="Orange" itemDisabled="true"/> <f:selectItem itemValue="2" itemLabel="Yellow"/> <f:selectItem itemValue="3" itemLabel="Green"/> <f:selectItem itemValue="4" itemLabel="Blue"/> <f:selectItem itemValue="5" itemLabel="Indigo"/> <f:selectItem itemValue="6" itemLabel="Violet"/> </h:selectOneRadio>
What does the
onchange="submit( )"
do? It causes the form to be submitted to the URL specified in the form tag...in the case of JSF, all pages submit back to themselves, and are trapped by the
. At this point the JSF lifecycle takes over, which includes the following phases:
1. Restore View
2. Apply Request Values
3. Process Validations
4. Update Model Values
5. Invoke Application
6. Render Response
So far, so good...the problem occurs when a component (specified with an immediate="true" attribute) needs to update another component, such as a text box. For this to work,
components have to have the immediate="true" attribute set. If you do this, you will be able to set the value in the second component directly in the
method, in a manner something like this:
public void colorChange(ValueChangeEvent event){ String oldValue = (String) event.getOldValue(); String newValue = (String) event.getNewValue(); System.out.println("Old: " + oldValue); System.out.println("New: " + newValue); System.out.println("Inside colorChange"); FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); HtmlSelectOneRadio radio = (HtmlSelectOneRadio)event.getComponent(); String label = (String)radio.getValue(); System.out.println("Radio label is " + label ); UIViewRoot root = facesContext.getViewRoot(); HtmlInputText winText = (HtmlInputText)root.findComponent("loginForm:colorWinLabel"); if ("4".equals(label)){ if(winText == null)System.out.println("Can't find component"); else{ System.out.println("Value: " + winText.getValue()); System.out.println("ID: " + winText.getId()); winText.setValue("You Win!"); } } else winTextProperty = ""; facesContext.renderResponse(); }
this will get you through the problem you are describing. If it doesn't, there is another approach that requires you to manipulate the event queue directly, and you really shouldn't go there unless absolutely necessary.
Good luck, and let me know if this works.

Thanks Tom for such a clean and detailed explanation.
Actually i dint get what you were trying to do in that code. Let me give my problem:
I have 3 valueChangeListeners in a datatable on the JSP.
the first textbox will populate the entire row based on the textfield value.
The second and third valuechangelisteners update the costs of all the rows.
here is the jsp:
<h:dataTable border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" columnClasses="columnClass1" headerClass="headerClass" footerClass="footerClass" rowClasses="rowClass1" styleClass="dataTable" id="pms" width="200" value="#{pmBO.model}" binding="#{pmBO.modelTable}" var="item" rows="10"> <h:column> <h:inputText styleClass="inputText" id="empNo" value="#{item.empNo}" size="10" valueChangeListener="#{pmBO.processValueChange}" immediate="true" onblxur="submit();"> </h:inputText> </h:column> <h:column> <h:inputText styleClass="inputText" id="dAmount value="#{item.dAmount}" valueChangeListener="#{pmBO.processAmountValueChange}" onblxur="submit();" size="10" > </h:inputText> </h:column> <h:column> <h:inputText styleClass="inputText" id="pAmount" value="#{item.pAmount}" size="10" valueChangeListener="#{pmBO.processAmountValueChange}" onblxur="submit();"> </h:inputText> </h:column> <h:column> <h:selectOneMenu styleClass="selectOneMenu" id="PInd" value="#{item.pInd}"> <f:selectItems value="#{pmBO.pInds}"/> </h:selectOneMenu> </h:column> <h:column id="column1"> <h:inputText styleClass="inputText" id="fAmt" value="#{item.fAmount}" size="10"> </h:inputText> </h:column> </h:dataTable>
After i populate the first row, i select pInd and fAmount...fields
and now, if i enter the empNo in the second row and populate it, the values i entered in pInd and fAmount for the first row are lost.
Are these not supposed to be in the modelTable that is bound to the Backing beant? Am i missing something here?
and here is the code in the valueChangeListener and the binded
public void processAmountValueChange(ValueChangeEvent ve) { double value = 0.0; value = ((Double)ve.getNewValue()).doubleValue(); valueChangeSource = ((UIInput)ve.getSource()).getId(); setRowIndex(getModelTable().getRowIndex()); valueChange = true; if (valueChangeSource.equalsIgnoreCase("dAmount")) setDAmount(value); else if(valueChangeSource.equalsIgnoreCase("pAmount")){ setPAmount(value); } modify(); //this is where the manipulation of the arraylist goes. valueChange = false; valueChangeSource = ""; } /** * @param modelTable The modelTable to set. */ public void setModelTable(HtmlDataTable modelTable) { this.modelTable = modelTable; pList = new ArrayList(); try{ for (int i=0; i < modelTable.getRows(); i++){ modelTable.setRowIndex(i); Item item = (Item)modelTable.getRowData(); pList.add(i, item); System.out.println("^^^^^^^^^^ in the for loop $$$$$$$$ = "+i+";"+item.getPType()+";"+item.getFAmount()); } setPList(pList); }catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); } }
When i see the console for the changed values, the Modeltable doesn't show the values selected for the first row.
i know that value change listener doesn't update all the request values. But i want the values selected in the first row too.
The backing bean is in session scope.
is there a way to get around this?
Thank you

Just registered and logged in to thanks for the useful advice by Tom Fulton.
I was facing this problem:
I need to capture a
in an InputText component, and everytime I press Enter, the value should be processed, a search done in a database and some data updated in a datatable component. But, the text field should get ready for a new input, since the data already in the datatable may be related to the new input. This readiness should be done by clearing the InputText. Using the ViewRoot and immediate components as you say, have solved my problem...
Here's a sketch of my JSP:
<h:inputText id="inputField" value="#{bean.text}" valueChangeListener="#{bean.changeMethod}" immediate="true" /> <h:dataTable id="data" value="#{bean.list}"> | | ...
And a sketch of my bean code:
public void changeMethod(ValueChangeEvent event) { FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); this.text = event.getNewValue(); ValueObject vObj = searchData(this.text); list.add(vObj); UIViewRoot root = context.getViewRoot(); HtmlInputText winText = (HtmlInputText)root.findComponent("inputField"); if (winText != null) { winText.setValue(""); } context.renderResponse(); }

You made a PC game?

Is that answer sarcastic or...?
Microsoft have announced that WP8 is compatible with Unity but I'm not sure whether this is something which is available now or Coming Soon. I assume this is actually on Unity's side as they would just have to add a recompiler which targets WP8. I think I read it was supposed to be rolled out with Unity 4.0 but don't quote me on that. I also have no idea whether you would have to pay the full license or whatever as I don't really know much about Unity tbh.Thanked by: - 12-05-2012, 01:05 AM #4
Not sarcastic. Maybe I just didn't understand the question.
Unity can be used to create PC games. I assumed that the OP made browser or PC games.
If he made iOS or Android games, then he'd likely be pretty familiar with the deployment process already. -

You can tell a lot about a tank by its name, by which I mean you can tell almost nothing, as evidenced by that beauty up there. That's the British Churchill I, and it doesn't look a thing like the British Prime Minister during WWII, or even that nodding dog that flogs people car insurance. It does, however, look like the kind of vehicle that could rip another tank to shreds, and that's probably
A new update for World of Tanks is now available worldwide. Patch 9.0, named New Frontiers, is the first step in Wargaming's plan to massively overhaul the game. The update introduces new "high definition" models and textures for ten of the game's tanks. For now, those deadly machines get to lord it over their foes as the prettiest tanks in all the land. It's like Cinderella. With tanks.
Wargaming have announced a new series of development diaries that will outline their planned features across the next year of World of Tanks. Where their update videos are often thumping, brash affairs that take to the internet, screaming "TAAAAAAAAANKS!", these videos are altogether more considered. The first, detailing an upgraded physics system, sports a contemplative frown, a raised eyebrow,

Wargaming today announced that the first update to its newly launched World of Warplanes will release later this week. It will include 14 new planes, two new battle arenas, and new epic and tiered achievements.

World of Warplanes, the free-to-play air combat game from the creators of World of Tanks, is now officially online. The game currently features the planes of five nations and over 100 different planes, but the real key to watch will be Wargaming's ongoing updates and support. As was the case with World of Tanks, World of Warplanes can expect frequent updates and balances and a steady stream of
Vroom! That's the friendly roar of Wargaming's next entry in the war-vehicle niche, revving its engine in preparation for the cinematic battles ahead. It released the news today that its aerial combat MMO, World of Warplanes, has now got a fixed date for open beta, with a trail of warplane screenshots scattered hopefully like breadcrumbs before us.
The normal reaction to a CGI trailer is to express mild annoyance that you're not seeing real in-game footage. But we already have loads of in-game footage for World of Tanks. Because it's out. So why this lavish, cinematic spectacle? It's because Wargaming.net have just announced 60 million registered users and, presumably, when that many people are playing your game, you can afford to splash
Why we should all be grateful that Bioware cares about what it does.
Wargaming, the creators of the hugely successful World of Tanks and the upcoming World of Warships and World of Warplanes, has announced big changes in what gamers can and can't purchase inside its games. Any item or upgrade that can provide an advantage in battle will no longer be available for purchase, putting and end to "pay-to-win"-style power disparities.
World of Tanks developer Wargaming has announced an update to its free-to-play gaming portal that may alter the way players make use of its online economy. Set to go live sometime during the open beta phase of the tank-blasting title's sister game, World of Warplanes, what's being called the Unified Premium Account should allow benefits earned in one Wargaming world to be used in any other.

Social Web Blog: Social Search goes global
Google just create a new kind of spamming work, the puppeteers. So we are going to see fake social accounts, with gangs of puppeteer talking each others to try to promote A, B, C, etc
Man it is going to be fun to rank, it seems like Google opened a giant breach for unethical techniques.

It looks like a logical step forward and it's going to be fun for the 'general public'.
I agree. There will always be people who are going to play the system. Blackhatters who will develop better software that can create many social accounts, other software that can start and keep conversations going. In the end fake accounts will claim a large portion of social networks.
In addition, social search leads to 'filter bubbles'

Social search is definitely something to watch. We have to be aware of its flaws so we can use it to our full advantage.
Franc Tireur (20 May, 2011), memenode (29 May, 2011)
Exactly right Loko. Their agorithms are already not perfect, they just had more stuffs they barely handle, if it is manipulated by some "experts" it will be more destructive, hey that's just my opinion
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
When I see this video I am thinking that Google is going personal.
For example, you are on FB and you are talking to your friends, then few days later your social posts are going global on public friends audience in the Google index. If you are the poster would you want everyone to be able to see what you said to your close friends? That's my question
Here is an article about that, it seems that you have to be logged in your Google account, so Google can spy your internet paths:
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
I don't know what's "unethical" about this. Calling this "unethical" is a real exaggeration. Again, is it unethical for you to enter into partnerships with others, to roll out new services and products according to your vision, to pursue your own interests? If not, then why the double standard? There's a big difference between something unethical and something you and I don't like or even something most people don't like or something that doesn't follow your or mine interests.
That said, I'm not sure what to think of personalization and these "filter bubbles". I get the dangers of it, but if algorithms are really trying to provide you with information based on who you really are then if you are the kind of person who likes to read opposing views to your own then isn't that what it's gonna keep showing? I mean, to some extent you yourself would create a filter bubble for yourself if algorithms didn't do it for you simply because of the sheer amount of information out there (information overload) and the fact you have limited time and limited interests.
Secondly, not every site is personalized. Platforms such as Facebook and Google may be, but they aren't necessarily your only sources of daily content. If they are, then this is more of a problem of over-consolidation than of personalization, and is something every individual who over-consolidates contributes to.
One way or another, platforms like Google and Facebook will to some extent be able to decide what you see or don't see on their domains because that's pretty much what they're here for as the managers of the information overload, middlemen between you and the universe of content out there. That's why they have value, and why we use them.

The food (breakfast and dinner) is outstanding and would not look out of place in a top London restaurant or Hotel. The hosts truly make the Chambre d'hote what it is, always there to help you have a memorable stay. My wife and I have been several times and each experience has been unique and got better and better each time. I love the fact I can relax when I stay and enjoy great company, food, wine and champagne. If you haven't been you must go to this beautiful little paradise in rural France.

There should be an 'Extra Special' Category, because this is just that. Penny and Adrian provide exceptional accommodation and food, but they then enhance that with themselves, as they provide an exceptional level of hospitality and warmth. Vey highly recommended, if you want a high standard of accommodation, food and hospitality.

We were flying into to Jonzac to meet friends. No accommodation available there and Penny's and Adrian's B&B was the result, found by chance. What a find. Absolutely outstanding quality in their home but very relaxed.Hardly fair to refer to this as a "B&B". So much more than that. Food was prepared specifically and to a quality using local produce. We joined a happy gathering in the garden .Nothing was too much trouble. All so much of what makes a good short break. Pons Airfield nearby so no excuse not to be back

Maison Maurice was the second leg of our holiday in the South West of France. Penny and Adrian made us most welcome from the minute we arrived. The location is perfect whether one wants to spend a day at the beach or a quiet walk in the vineyards or indeed a "degustation" at the nearby Cognac Distillery. Penny and Adrian were the perfect hosts, pampered us and armed us with lots of information for things to do in the region. The house was delightful, the food exquisite and the company most charming. When we next visit the region Maison Maurice will be on top of our list, we only hope that they will put up with our demanding ways.
5 sur juillet 22, 2013
This is my first review on bedandbreakfast.com - I felt compelled to write after having had such a good stay with Penny and Adrian. The rooms were immaculate, the food excellent and, despite the great reviews, our expectations were still exceeded. Our visit was extremely relaxing and nothing was too much trouble for Penny and Adrian. They told us that their aim was to create a house/dinner party kind of atmosphere where guests felt more like friends than paying visitors and I certainly think they have achieved that. From the welcome with a cold drink in the garden to pre dinner drinks, a delicious four course meal and coffee, lots of help with how to best spend our one day in the region, a lift back from the local cognac distillery, hand written directions for the best route for the next leg of our journey south and refreshed water bottles for the drive, they were great hosts and deserve every success.

A sign inside the door welcoming us by Cristian name was the first indication that we had arrived at somewhere special and so our stay proved. Maison Maurice is the definitive luxury B & B in France. Penny and Adrian are superb hosts with extremely high standards. We arrive as welcome guests and leave as committed friends

Excellent place to stay when travelling from ferries to Southern France or Spain. Just a short distance from the motorway from St Malo to Bordeaux, with easy to follow instructions from the motorway. Adrian and Penny are warm and welcoming hosts. The food we sampled was excellent, both tea, supper and breakfast were superb with local and home-made produce. The accommodation is warm and comfortable with 'special welcoming touches'. The decor is stylish, very well thought out and decorated to a very high standard. We felt as though we were treated as old friends who had dropped by to stay for a few days and despite the single night booking were given greatly appreciated advice on routes and things to do and see in the surrounding area. This high quality B&B is an excellent choice whether for a single night stopover or a longer stay while exploring this most interesting area of France. Thoroughly recommended
5 sur mai 19, 2013
Even a brief stay at Maison Maurice will reveal why it has been rated as one of the top ten B&Bs in the international category. The attention to detail in every aspect of the accommodation reflects the high standard that Penny and Adrian set themselves whilst still providing a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Just the garden itself is worth a visit and the dinners equally delightful! If you are anywhere in the area seek out this hidden gem - you will not be disappointed.

Amateur travellers in France myself and my partner pre-booked 3 B&B's to break up the journey down to Languedoc. We had no recommendation to go on bar what we read in various internet sites. Maison Maurice was the second of those selected B&B's and it turned out to be a total winner. The house is a peaceful haven with superbly renovated bedrooms - each of which has a different theme. The rooms are of a good size with individual modern en suite bathrooms. They share some features like beautiful oak beams and are peaceful, cool places for resting up after a long day. The house is set in its own gardens which during sunny periods offer the guest the chance to sit out and have breakfast or take some sun whilst reading a book. The best part of Maison Maurice however is not the building or its interior (excellent and all as those are) - it is the hosts Penny and Adrian who make the thing complete. They are a bubbly energetic couple with many years experience in stressful careers left behind to take on this challenge of running a B&B in France. And boy do they do it well. Prepare to be spoilt - the food - breakfast and dinner - were superb and presented with excellent wines - Rose, white and red. We recommend you try the local Pineau - a pre dinner drink which Adrian introduced us to and we took away 6 bottles back to Ireland!! The walks around the house - through the vines and the fields of sunflowers are beautiful. Our initial visit was so pleasant I called into Penny/Adrian on my way back from Languedoc and enjoyed that stay as much as the first trip. We are already planning our return in 2013. If you are anywhere near Biron then do yourself a favour - divert to Maison Mauirce - you will not be disappointed.

We really enjoyed our few days stay with Penny and Adrian from the warm welcome, lovely room and excellent breakfasts and dinners, they made us feel at ease in their beautiful home. Nothing was too much trouble and their knowledgeable advice of areas to visit made for an excellent stay. Thoroughly recommended and having left as friends hope to return in the future.

Need Help! Looking for a new board
I'm still pretty much a beginner/intermediate rider. Over the past 10 years I really haven't gotten much riding time (mostly only 1 day a year). Good news is I took my 9 yr old for the first time New Years eve and he did awesome! This means more ride time for me!!!!:D
I'm still learning how to carve down the mountainside. I'm riding a really old and stiff K2 Fat Bob 159 with Flow Flite 3 bindings. I'm 6'2" and weigh about 165 and wear a size 12 boot. I really have trouble riding this board and I'm looking for a new all mountain board that would be easy to keep under control, but will last me a few years. I rode my freind's old Timeless 155 and really liked the the way it turned, however, it really wasn't very stable for me going fast and I didn't feel comfortable on it. My K2 is REALLY hard to turn, but I love how stable it feels under me. Anyone got any suggestions? My freind wants to sell me his 07/08 Arbor Mystic 161 for $150. Would this be a good board for me to ride and improve my skills? |
you will need a wide board with a size 12 boot. how about a never summer sl-r or a Rome slash whats your budget?
I really would like to keep the price around $300 or less. The new board would need to work with my bindings, I don't have enough money to get new bindings right now.
Atomic Alibi Forum Recon Ride Fleetwood Heres one NEW Atomic Alibi WIDE snowboard 156cm 2008 - eBay (item 200293957233 end time Jan-11-09 13:00:00 PST) |
Would a Ride Yukon be a good board for me, or would it be too much to handle. I've heard alot of good things about the Yukons and my friend absolutly loves his Timeless. I was just thinking that I need something between 159-164 in lenght.
Since you only weigh 165, I'd probably go up to 161 at most. I weigh 170 lbs. and ride an all-mountain 156.

Android has landed.
Posted: 2010-08-21 Filed under: computers, review | Tags: Android samsung galaxy spica phone 1 CommentFinally, I have my own Android phone – Samsung Galaxy Spica (i5700). After few weeks and insane amount of modding I have to say I'm very satisfied. Among exceptions is the fact that android still doesn't support proxies, which is imho a suicide for a smartphone. The other is the fact that while the hardware in Spica is awesome, the drivers… aren't.
Fortunately people at samdroid forums are insane and are slowly transforming spica into much more powerful phone.
This post was of course written on my phone :-)
Linux Common Lisp Quickstart HOWTO
Posted: 2009-06-07 Filed under: computers, programming | Tags: common lisp, emacs, howto, lisp, slime Leave a commentDue to some questions on #lisp, I decided to throw together a quick, step-by-step solution to setting up a basic, but working, Common Lisp installation on Linux. The implementation used will be SBCL
This HOWTO assumes basic linux knowledge as well as knowledge of your distro's package management system.
- Install SBCL from your distro's repo or download binary build from SBCL website
- Install Emacs – I recommend Emacs-22 or 23. Again, for fast install, I recommend going with your distro packages – if you need/want specially patched version, you probably don't need my hand-holding
- Install clbuild
- run
cd clbuild; ./clbuild check
and install any remaining dependencies. - Depending on your distro SBCL packages, install local build of SBCL through
./clbuild compile-implementation sbcl
. It will be used by clbuild after that and saved in./clbuild/target
- Install SLIME:
./clbuild install slime
and configure it by adding result of./clbuild slime-configuration
to your emacs config. I recommend switching slime-autodoc to t - Test it by running emacs and invoking
M-x slime
- Now go over to Cliki and maybe entertain yourself to Practical Common Lisp
Update:2010-04-10: Fixed links broken by lack of wildcard entry on sbcl.org
Poland -> Scotland
Posted: 2008-09-22 Filed under: Life | Tags: aberdeen, Scotland, university Leave a commentWell, yesterday I finally did the "big move", namely moved to Aberdeen for my 5 years of studying at University of Aberdeen.
I traveled by plane, first from Warsaw to Gatwick by British Airways on a B737-400, then a long >3h wait at Gatwick for the second leg of the journey: Gatwick -> Aberdeen by FlyBE. One thing to remember – "low cost no more". Also it is interesting to be the only passenger with ticket troubles on an already delayed flight… And on "normal" airline, you get refreshments for free xD
After landing at Aberdeen International Airport, I traveled again on 737 – this time it was Stagecoach 737 line from Airport to Aberdeen Bus Station, then got off early and walked <1km to the dorms, finally arriving at around 2200 hours UTC – after starting my journey in Warsaw at around ~1130 hours UTC.
And the parts of Aberdeen I had already seen look pretty nice. Also lots of Polish language spoken there, at least during my walk from dorms to Uni.
Simple manager for Emacs Lisp packages in Gentoo
Posted: 2008-05-18 Filed under: computers, programming Leave a commentBefore, I used the site-gentoo.el file, which loaded all of them at startup time. However, that results in a pretty much bloated piece of software.
So today, I decided to try my luck with Emacs Lisp. The result is site-load-manager.el. It's a simple script that, given a config file, will create a byte-compiled equivalent of Gentoo's site-gentoo.el that include only those packages whose names include strings defined in the config file. To speed-up things a little, instead of referencing the scripts in site-lisp directory, it includes them directly
The archive contains script, simple shell script to execute it and example config file. I think that it should be pretty easy to understand, although config file mechanism isn't very good :-)

Broadcom 4318, ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant under Linux
Posted: 2008-04-06 Filed under: computers | Tags: broadcom, howto, linux, ndiswrapper, wireless, wpa_supplicant 2 CommentsI don't know about others, but for a long time I had problems with using WPA with my Broadcom wireless card in Ruri. Thankfully all troubles are now gone :)
The steps for a working wpa_supplicant are simple:
- Download the latest wpa_supplicant. I recommend at least version 6.3 (5.x didn't work for me)
- Install it and configure it to use Linux Wireless Extensions driver interface, for example by supplying
to it's command-line options. Exact configuration depends on your linux distribution – on Gentoo it's awpa_supplicant_interface="-Dwext -iinterface"
line in /etc/conf.d/net - Start it up and voila – wpa_supplicant should be able to properly associate with networks from now on. Do some checking with wpa_gui
Happy wireless surfing :)
Testing Blogging Apps: QTM
Posted: 2008-02-03 Filed under: computers, rant | Tags: blogging apps, qtm 1 CommentSo I downloaded and installed QTM.
I have to say that it surprised me from the building process: It was a first application that used cmake which I had to build myself,
and it shows clearly that Cmake is superior to Autotools.
The only dependency was QT >= 4.1.x, and it worked like a dream with QT4.3.
The building process itself was a breeze compared to what I would except from QT application (And CMake showed it's beatiful scripts again :D)
As for the application itself: IT'S FAST!, I mean, REALLY FAST. Sure, it's about tasks that don't consume too much resources, but it snappy in a way that doesn't always show with today's apps. I also didn't even notice when it downloaded my categories after inputting my blog settings in configuration window.
There are however some drawbacks – It doesn't seem to have support for editing existing blog posts, support wordpress tags (But it might work from the technorati tags page) nor uploading media objects. Also, the interface is a little different, but usable.
Now let's see how it will publish this post :D
Well, it had some problems with uploading the post, and a progress bar would be a good thing :D. However, it worked pretty nice. And I found it does support uploading files!
Testing Blogging Apps: Drivel
Posted: 2008-02-03 Filed under: 42 Leave a commentI have to say that I basically hate inputting blog posts over WordPress web interface, especially since I don't have stable internet access, which makes it much harder to use.
So today I decided to test another blogging app: Drivel from Gnome, version 2.0.3.
Well, it certainly lacks some features, and might not win against weblogger.el It can be used with WordPress by setting MovableType interface, however, there
is nothing for uploading images or setting tags. Also, posts can be only in one category.
Looks like I'll have to write a client and a supporting it EmacsLisp interface anyway, so I'll have muse/org-mode/whatever support ^_^"
Drivel managed to doublepost because of net error… I need something that is more reliable. Maybe QTM?

I had a little bit of spare time today; so I decided to head out to Washington Rock State Park, which is all of about 15 minutes from home, in order to activate it for Parks On The Air. All the equipment was in the car, so I took off and was there in short order. When I got there, I decided to take a few snaps, first.
After taking the photos, I headed back to the car and set the 20 Meter Hamstick on top of the Jeep. I had the PFR3A hooked up in very short order. The problem was, that when I went to transmit, the radio thumped and kicked out. I immediately knew what it was; and felt like the absolute greenest of greenhorns.
I have had the radio and all the accoutrement's in the back of the car in a knapsack for a couple of weeks now. I have had good intentions of getting some lunchtime operating in, even though that hasn't been possible. We've had some cold weather come through (including that snow storm two weeks ago) and I hadn't taken into account the cold sapping all the juice out of the very small sealed lead acid battery. Sure enough, when I got home and put the battery on a volt meter, it had fallen to below 10 Volts.
It wasn't the strongest of batteries to begin with and the cold just did it in. From here on out, I will keep bringing the knapsack into the warm house each evening; and I will also keep a heartier battery in that knapsack. It is said that experience is the best teacher; and I will agree with that, as you can be certain I will make sure to check the battery before heading out next time.

Via Porta Rossa, 63r
50123 Florence
055 264 5354
Daily 7pm–2am
Around the Duomo, Florence –
Sleek and modern with a conservative yet animated vibe, Slowly is a posh little bar and lounge that attracts a stylish clientele of young professionals.
A long black bar with electric-blue backlighting is nicely set off by the more subdued black, tan, and red that dominates the décor, while creative light fixtures and plenty of candles lend a golden glow.
A curving staircase leads to a second level, which provides an excellent view of the action below as well as a great place to savor selections from the bar's popular aperitivo buffet, which offers flavors from around the world.
Colorful booths line the walls of the larger lounge room, meanwhile, where a DJ spins an eclectic selection of music from Nujazz to club beats.
With its laid-back vibe, smooth music, tasty cocktails and outgoing patrons, Slowly manages to capture a nightclub feel while still maintaining a composed and comfortable environment that doesn't overwhelm.
Well-dressed young professionals, 20s and 30s.
DJ spins a different genre of music every night. Thursdays feature Nujazz, electro, house, and club music.
Nightly aperitivo buffet includes selections from sushi to pizza.
Beer €6, cocktails €8–€12, shots €4.
Smart casual.
Any night for aperitivo. The biggest crowds and best parties happen on Saturday nights after 11pm in the winter.

While studying abroad in Florence, I went out several times per week. Slowly was by far my favorite place to meet friends for drinks. It's decor and vibe are chic, but unpretentious. The crowd has a mix of both Italians and foreigners, which is nice because you often find one or the other, and the drinks are tasty. Intelligent conversations. Beautiful people. Highly recommended.

I spent some nice evenings in this bar. They serve the usual array of drinks and cocktails. It boasts a funky cool designed interior with a mainly young crowd in the evenings playing all genres of pop music.

My friend found out about slowly, and so we went one evening to check it out. the drink menu was quite large, with a lot of variety. The prices are a little bit higher than they are at most of the other bars geared towards students, but the drinks were also a lot bigger and a lot more...effective. Great music, too, though there didn't seem to be much dancing. Definitely a great place to go for a drink before heading somewhere else!

This place has the great one-drink-lots of food deal and its close to the centre and easy to find. The food is on a platform-pedestal and even though the specialty is effeminate cocktails they do in fact have beers for normal guys. You'll spend six euro at happy hour for a beer, but the food makes it okay to charge six euro for a beer. There is no limit to how much food you can get so when I went I thought of it as dinner and ate several plates piled with food so I didn't have to think about dinner later.

Slowly has the most expansive and unlimited Aperitivo spread you can imagine. There's just so much food, elevated on a platform in the center of the room, that it could feed a small army of students—which it does, every night, for seven euro drinks. The bartenders are master cocktail conoisseurs, and even the most handsome and straightest-looking of them will serve up cocktails girlier than anything seen on Sex and the City. I've never seen Slowly get crazily busy at nighttime, though during aperitivo you may have to find a seat on the pavement outside if you don't nab a table in time.

went there for drinks after dinner one night and was pleased. the place is in a great central location, close to the higher end shopping district in florence, a sophisticated vibe but not out of reach or obnoxious. was there last week on a very rainy night, but still a decent crowd and great music, very laid back service which suited our group well. defintely worth checking out.

I visited slowly while studying abroad last Fall. It was such a great atmosphere. Drinks were expensive (a bit out of student budget) but they are really great. It was so much fun to go with just a few friends and have a less crazy night out. We only went a few times because of the price but we loved it. I got the "Passion Fruit Martini" which I highly recommend. If you're looking for a place to start out the night this is also a really great place to go. YAB, one of the better clubs, is right around the corner. Perfect location. Small place but perfect for a small crowd of friends.

I've been twice on pretty slow nights but I still love the venue. It has such a cool look and friendly atmosphere. The bartender said it becomes the place to be in the winter when crowds are looking for indoor lounges. From what I have seen it is still definitely a place to go before heading to a club. Like the review says, it has a nightclub feel that is not too overwhelming, so with the small dance floor it is perfect for some dancing and cocktails to get you ready for a fun night out. I am excited to go back in the winter to see the place really fill up!

WCCO-TV's Dennis Douda is probably thinking that marrying colleague Jeanette Trompter and marketing themselves as an anchor team looks pretty good right about now.
WCCO-TV's Dennis Douda is probably thinking that marrying colleague Jeanette Trompeter and marketing themselves as an anchor team looks pretty good right about now.
Back in May I reported gossip about possible changes at WCCO's anchor desk that might include or exclude Douda. A couple weeks ago, the station announced changes. Douda, who anchored the weekday 5 p.m. show with Trompeter, got switched to weekends.
He's handling it with customary elegance: "All things in context, I'm a lucky and blessed man. I can stay in town where my three kids are. That became a priority. Of course, I really do love my family at WCCO. The station made it very clear that they wanted me to stay even though it wouldn't be in the same capacity."
Thinking I was moving the conversation into a better direction, I asked the divorced anchor with the limpid blue eyes how the search for a girlfriend was going. "That's just gone nowhere," said Douda. "But that's OK because I haven't really been looking. I have so many other writing projects and things going on with my kids, that that's just fine."
If only Douda has listened to newsroom friends who encouraged him to forget that girlfriend search, which started as a assignment on computer romances, and fly to Vegas with Trompeter for a quickie marriage. After all, there seems to be job security in that.
Douda wouldn't take the bait. "There were a bunch of people who appreciated our team and chemistry," he said diplomatically.
While some believe Douda's losing the 5 p.m. newscast to Frank Vascellaro means that clears the way for him to succeed Don Shelby, others speculate that it means no such thing, as Shelby's departure is far in the future.
"Dennis came over and shook my hand when this was announced," said Vascellaro. "He was a gentleman and very classy. Everybody who knows him knows that exactly how he would act. He's nothing but a class act."
