Foie Gras: Ban Is Upheld, For NowBy: Lacy Langley - August 31, 2013
Foie Gras (pronounced FWAH GRAH and meaning "fat liver" in frech) might continue to be hard to find in California. The federal court upheld a statewide ban on the sale of the delicacy made from the livers of force-fed duck or goose in a ruling handed down Friday.The three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals found the ban was plain in meaning and was not in violation of the Constitution.
Apparently, the Assn. des Eleveurs de Canards et d'Oies du Quebec, HVFG and Hot's Restaurant Group said the ban could be interpreted to cover all products from force-fed ducks, including meat and jackets made from down. It was also challenged by out-of-state foie gras producers and California restaurants, who claimed the ban was too vague and regulated interstate commerce. However, the court seemed to disagree.
Not everyone is upset about the ban. Many individuals and groups have worked for years to stop the force-feeding of ducks. Check out the facebook page for United for Animals Foie Gras Fight here
And this PETA article is pretty frightening.
Twitter is also lit up with the isssue:

Review submitted by Jordan from Salisbury - (Submitted: 06/11/2014)
''The villa is stunning. A mix between traditional cypriot and modern contemporary design. It is very spacious and more than ideal for large groups. Providing plenty of comfortable living space for lounging, dining and bedrooms so you'll never feel like you're treading on other peoples toes during the stay. The outdoor area is a great feature and ideal for dining outside or simply relaxing by the pool. Located a short drive from Kissonerga it is situated beautifully between a selection of fruit orchards. It is about a 5-10 minute walk from the nearest shop and a 20 minute walk to the nearest beach. It is conveniently situated away from busy roads so in a very peaceful quiet area. The car that came with the property was an ideal addition to help get out and about on the island.
Our favourite beach closest to the villa (about a 10 min drive) was Coral Bay, particularly the northernmost bay in front of the Coral Beach Hotel. We also visited Curium near Limassol which along with a beautiful beach has an amphitheatre and stunning archaeological history site located on the cliff top. The Famagusta Tavern in Avdimou is a great stop for dinner on the way back (I highly recommend the pork chops). A bit further afield the trip to the Troodos mountains was very picturesque and The Mill in Kakopetria was a great stop for lunch.
Overall I have been very satisfied with the service provided. Both the original booking with Steven and communication with the owner George were more than satisfactory''.
Review submitted by Kaia-Liisa from Estonia - (Submitted: 08/10/2014)
''The villa was really excellent. Well equipped, much space for everyone, the car was a nice extra bonus :-) Pool was big, enough sunbeds and other sitting areas to enjoy beautiful weather.The location depends on people's needs. In our case – it was the best. Quiet, lots of nature in and out of the garden. You could see the sunset from upstairs balcony. And nearby villages were in walking distance (for us at least). Also a big supermarket near and we did all our shoppings there. Up in Tala village there was one great restaurant. I don't remember the name, started with letter M (Melitzia) and it was the first restaurant on the left when entering centre. Meze was excellent, also other dishes. And prices were reasonable. Main big shop was close – good choice of food, wines and everyday hygenic products. From beaches – of course Coral Bay. We also made a trip to Blue Lagoon – went by car to Latchi and then hiked up the mountain and then back through Blue Lagoon – it was hard but doable and views were amazing. Hiking took about 5 hours. Regarding your service, all anwsers and instructions came quickly, you were very helpful when we needed to be there earlier. George was really nice, he welcomed us, gave us fruits and food and wine for making our first arrival pleasant. He also visited us two times, took care about the pool, all the time asking if we were satisfied etc. It seems that he really cares about his visitors. Everything went smoothly for us''.

Everyday we return to Cyprus we find somewhere new. We have visited the better known places but this time we found a very old monastery inland from Pomos and also Kalidonia Falls. Letsrentonline are very quick to respond to any queries and would use again without hesitation. The owner George popped in a few times and we learnt how to peel & empty a pomegranite properly. Rustic homely charm at it's best.''

Villa marvellous, NO issues or complaints.

Gg snack bar in paphos lovely surprise worth a visit. Very satisfied again thank you
Review submitted by Sally from Ipswich - (Submitted: 14/04/2013)
"Had a great stay, just goes far too quickly! The house was great, well equipped & the car was a nice touch 2. The location was good for us as we live in the countryside & we found it very central for our sightseeing trips. We would recommend 'Tea for Two' & couple of restaurants in Pafos Harbour - Pelicans ( I believe ) & a Chinese (can't remember the name!). You have provided an excellent service throughout. The owner of the property was great, on hand, but not too intrusive. We liked the climate & flight schedules are easy so we would return..''
The Paphos District
You can drive to Villa Odysseas from Paphos Airport in about thirty minutes. From the villa it's an easy drive into Paphos for some of the best shopping you'll find anywhere in Cyprus. It's also an easy drive to the centre of Peyia – a vibrant community stretching from the bright lights of Coral Bay to the traditional centre of the old village.
There is a good choice of beaches within an easy drive. Try Coral Bay (4km) – a great beach with every amenity you could imagine. Alternatively drive up the coast road into the Akamas Region (10km) to enjoy the quiet and unspoilt beaches of Lara and beyond.
There's a golf course at Tsada (Minthis Hills) approximately 20 minutes drive away. Further golf courses at Secret valley, Aphrodite Hills and Elea Estate can also be reached in less than 30 minutes.
The villa has a very central location and is accessed from a lovely country lane on the edge of the village of Tala near Kissonerga. It's just a 10-15 minute stroll into Kissonerga village where you'll find a good selection of shops (George's supermarket is less than 1km away and has everything you need), a bank and a few restaurants, one of which is an English style country pub (The Village Inn) if you are missing home. There is also a contemporary sports bar for those football fans out there.
Within easy reach by car (1km up gradual hill) is Tala Square which is popular for lunches, relaxing with a drink and evening meals on the verandas of the high quality restaurants, many with stunning views over Paphos and to the Sea. (The Gallery (upmarket), The Square (Popular with English-set menus etc), Masa Soura (Greek) and 'Stamna' (traditional Cypriot tavern) are all very popular with other cafes and eateries well worth a try also.
Tala is a popular and growing village, just 5km north of Paphos, set on a south facing hillside looking out over the blue Mediterranean. Immediately north of the village is the famous Agios Neophytos monastery dating from 1159. This is well worth a visit even if just for a coffee or to buy some traditional honey. In the fields around Tala you'll find vineyards, orange, lemon, olive and almond trees and banana plantations.

"Lots of space and privacy"
The villa is spacious, very well equipped, enough privacy for everyone. It's in a good location - not far from Paphos (via car), Tala village is in a walking distance (good restaurants there also), big supermarket only few km away. Pool area has enough sunbeds and sitting corners, you can enjoy nature all around you:) Owner George is helpful and friendly, he really cares that you feel yourself good in there!

"Marvelous, will go back"
excellent facilities,
excellent service from owner,
car definitely required
perfect weather, what more can i say
Dear John, Thank you so much for taking the time to write your feedback on Trip Advisor. We are very pleased that you enjoyed Villa Odysseas and all it has to offer which is much. I am sorry you did not feel the directions were good. They are designed to be followed by people who do not know the area. They are the easiest rather than quickest ways. I know you have been to the area before and chose a different route which I agree is better if you know where you are going. Thank you so much again for this helpful feedback. Best Wishes.

This tour was amazing!
Great way to see all the major sights whilst having great fun. Highly recommended
This tour was amazing!
A lot of fun and learned a lot about the history of Barcelona. The guide was very knowledgeable of all aspects of Barcelona and he very helpful regarding the operation of the Segway's. I would definitely recommend this tour.
This tour was a real highlight of our Barcelona visit. We were really fortunate to have our guide to ourselves and therefore got a really great tour around Barcelona. We got used to riding the Segway much quicker than expected and only had one "nearly stack" each. Although we had already walked along a large percentage of the route we went on, it was great to get the tour commentary.
Great tour, lovely tour guide and so reassuring when it came to using the segway. Really interesting facts and places we wouldn't have visited.
Can't recommend enough, segway was so easy to use, going to book many more!
We loved our Segway experience. our instructor was amazing and very informative. With him as a guide he made our experience in Barcelona worth while.
Excellent tour, guide was informative and Freindly. What a great fun way to see the sights of Barcelona. Would recommend this tour highly.
Excellant way to get a good feel of Barcelona as we took this trip on the first day. Very easy to learn to ride and although my wife and I were celebrating our 25th anniversary we learnt in 2 minutes. Covered a lot of distance and the tour guide was excellent. Tony and Jas.
Excellent! Diego, the guide and operator is very nice and knows the city. We could visit sites that we would not have seen otherwise. The operation of the equipment is simple and safe, and we shall repeat it whenever possible.
Stephen P
Well worth doing as you cover way more than would be possible on foot. The group was limited to the four of us which was great. Our guide, Diago, was very informative and friendly..........he took his time to teach those who hadn't used a Segway before. Diago, I hope you enjoy your upcoming trip to Fremantle.
Diego our tour guide was excellent at telling us the history of the different places we visited in our tour. We had a very good time.
This was great! It was so much fun and our tour guide was fab.
I was would certainly recommend this and would do it again!
Thank you :)
We loved this, I arranged it with two friends for the morning of my Birthday - the four of us had a great time. Thought I had got it until I almost hit a tree!! Would certainly recommend this, very knowledgeable guide
Excellent tour and thoroughly enjoyable by the whole family. Diego our tour guide was very patient and enthusiastic.
Excellent way to discover any city !!!
Definitely a great way to explore Barcelona, although briefly. Diego, our tour guide, was great with people, carefully explaining each historical landmark of the city. We really enjoyed it.
Company was very accommodating to our schedule since it rained on our scheduled day. Diego was a great guide and very patient instructor.
So much fun and not just for the superfit or super young! You just need to be able to balance and relax. Such a wonderful way to see Barcelona's foreshores!
Diego was so good and such fun, we had a ball with him. Sister, Husband and I seemed to be all over the city. from the old town to the beach and really great areas in between. We saw so much and really on the Segway one can go forever and fast. Really enjoyable. A chilly evening for us. Diego also gave such good and interesting history of each historic site. Topped off with a great restaurant recommendation. Do highly recommend and will certainly be back to do again.
Highly recommend- Segways are a great way to see a part of any city!
Loved it! Our guide Richard was great and provided heaps of information during the tour. I was surprised at how easy it is to use the Segway's. This tour is good for people of any age.
The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, which helped us enjoy a very interesting tour that was the highlight of our Barcelona trip. Highly recommended. Easy to operate and the best way to cover a lot ground that otherwise walking would be impossible to visit on foot. We toured around the beach and part of the old town. Amazing experience!
Much fun. Our first time on a Segway. Diego, our guide spoke excellent English, which is always a blessing.
I would highly recommend. I look forward to other Segway tours.
John W D
This was one of the best Segway rides we have down so far around the world. We were only a small group of four and it was also a public holiday in Barcelona at the time. The early start was a good idea we had very few pedestrians to worry about in the early part of the tour. Our guide took us down narrow laneway and back streets but at no time at all did it feel daunting. We went down to the seaside area around the port where there were wide open spaces , where he allowed us to 'put the foot down'. In the seaside area there were some great photo moments. I took my 14 year grandson on this ride and he came back a real convert to the Segway. Would recommend this tour.

Richard Hamilton
Pistons agree to buy out Rip Hamilton
Dec 9, 2011, 6:02 PM EDT
Richard Hamilton has been perfecting his sulking game in Detroit over the last year or so, and the Pistons are finally done with him. According to Perry Farrell of the Detroit Free Press, the Pistons have agreed to buy out Hamilton's contract and make him an unrestricted free agent. Farrell makes the important distinction that…
Report: Pistons will shop Richard Hamilton after lockout
Aug 29, 2011, 12:00 PM EDT
Is this really shocking? Or even news? Since we're left to speculating about what teams will do after the lockout, it will pass the test for now. But since the Pistons were reportedly shopping Richard Hamilton at the last trading deadline — any moves were killed by the impending sale of the team — it…
Pistons start tallest back court in 24 years
Mar 18, 2011, 10:30 PM EDT
Detroit coach John Kuester's random lottery starting lineups got interesting Friday night. They didn't have Richard Hamilton to choose from as he left to be with his family after the passing of his grandmother. So the starting backcourt was 6'8" Tracy McGrady at the point and 6'11" Austin Daye at the two. That's the tallest…
Report: Five Pistons players skip practice to protest coach
Feb 25, 2011, 2:34 PM EDT
The ongoing skirmish between Pistons players and coach John Kuester just ratcheted up a notch. Or five. Five players were absent from Pistons morning shootaround Friday in Philadelphia in what a source told the Detroit News was a protest of the coach. Tracy McGrady, Tayshaun Prince, Richard Hamilton Chris Wilcox and Ben Wallace were not…
Detroit deactivates Rip Hamilton
Feb 4, 2011, 8:07 PM EDT
Just when you think there isn't any love to be lost at all between the Detroit Pistons and Rip Hamilton, news arrives in the latest tear in the once-strong relationship between franchise and player. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, Detroit has formally deactivated Hamilton, removing even the slightest possibility that he'll touch the…
Report: Pistons want to move Rip Hamilton but not Tayshaun Prince
Feb 2, 2011, 10:06 AM EDT
Maybe this report is part of a planned smokescreen. Pistons fans should hope it is. Detroit is still trying to move Richard Hamilton — with no success — but does not want to deal Tayshaun Prince before the deadline, according to a tweet from Marc Stein of ESPN. The whole Hamilton thing makes sense. Of…
No trade interest in Rip Hamilton, so he lives in limbo
Jan 29, 2011, 1:30 PM EDT
Rip Hamilton is living in basketball limbo. He hasn't been playing, sat down by his coach. The Pistons are trying to find someone to trade for him but Hamilton but he is owed $25 million over the next two seasons. Guaranteed. At that price nobody is interested in making a trade, reports Ken Berger at…
Chauncey Billups sticks up for "Pistons royalty" Rip Hamilton
Jan 27, 2011, 8:57 AM EDT
Wednesday night, after he dispatched the Pistons players with four three pointers in the final three minutes, Chauncey Billups took aim at Detroit's coaches and management. Wednesday made the eighth straight game Rip Hamilton has missed. Officially last night was because of the stomach flu, but if he had shown up to the arena early…
Now what do Pistons do with Rip Hamilton?
Jan 21, 2011, 11:21 AM EDT
For the past five games, Rip Hamilton has been watching his Detroit Pistons play and racking up DNP-CDs. He was being saved — Hamilton was the Pistons piece in the three-team Carmelo Anthony trade, a move that would have freed up some cap space for the Pistons. Then Mikhail Prokhorov pulled the rug out from…
Detroit fans chant, "We want Rip"
Jan 18, 2011, 11:19 AM EDT
Rip Hamilton sat again Monday, a fourth consecutive DNP-CD on the scorecard (Did Not Play, Coach's Decision). Some Pistons fans want none of it and started chanting "We want Rip" during the team's victory over Dallas Monday, according to the Detroit News. Admittedly it wasn't a huge roar, but at least some fans realize that…
Rip Hamilton gets dreaded DNP-CD; teammates confused
Jan 13, 2011, 9:27 AM EDT
Rip Hamilton put on his jersey as he has done before 822 other NBA games — but for the first time he could remember never got the sweats off. Pistons coach John Kuester never called Hamilton's number. He had gone to a new starting lineup to try and bring a new energy, but Hamilton was…
Rip Hamilton denies he has given up on the Detroit Pistons
Dec 21, 2010, 12:15 PM EDT
Rip Hamilton has seen his role dramatically change in Detroit. He was once the guy run off multiple screens every possession to get him a mid-range jumper. The heart of the offense. Now he most often a decoy who plays fewer minutes every month it seems. Now Ben Gordon is starting and Hamilton is coming…
Rip Hamilton ejected five minutes into Lakers/Pistons game
Nov 17, 2010, 10:20 PM EDT
How you feel about Rip Hamilton's ejection less than five minutes into the Lakers game against the Pistons is like a Rorschach test for how you feel about the NBA's new "respect for the game" enforcement and use of technical fouls. At the 7:01 mark of the first quarter, Hamilton was whistled for his second…
Shockingly, the Detroit Pistons may not want a logjam on the wing
Aug 12, 2010, 9:05 AM EDT
I'm not sure Tracy McGrady fits in well with any NBA team at this point, but the Detroit Pistons are a pretty bizarre match. He may not be breaking the bank with his recently signed one-year, $1.3 million deal, but T-Mac is a fairly demanding offensive player whose level of production no longer validates his…

January 30, 2015 - I love this ring. I don't really care that it doesn't spin and I don't mind the piece of metal on the back (don't even feel it). The only negative might be that the amethysts are smaller than I thought. But, I have small hands so it's perfect for me. The size 6 is very comfortable on my finger.
August 11, 2014 - I was a bit undecided on this ring because of some of the reviews but I ordered it anyway. I like the ring! It is more of a "stack" ring than a "spinner". The different rings are not fused-they are held together by the clip at the back. I am expecting finger discoloration because of the copper in the ring. I already have a few copper pieces and they do discolor because copper does that, so if you dont like the fact that the ring will discolor your finger, dont get the ring! I am happy with the purchase!
May 2, 2014 - I have been SO happy with all my purchases from GreaterGood.com. However, this ring, which looks just beautiful in the on-line photo was a big disappointment when it arrived. I am not going to return it because a friend indicated she would like to have it, so I gave it to her. The actual ring does not have the rich colors or the beauty as in the photo & I am very sorry about this.
April 15, 2014 - A beautiful ring that sits comfortably on your finger. Very good value for the money.
January 24, 2014 - This ring is beautiful, but more so in the picture. As most people have stated, the stones are much smaller than shown in the picture. I've worn it for one week. The brass and copper bands are now tarnished. I'll be returning it.

I have been using this wax for a long time and I can tell a huge difference every time I do.

Those that visit our booth will see first hand the exceptional user experiences and innovation unleashed by Kanzi on PowerVR-based platforms."
PowerVR graphics IP cores lead the market for graphics acceleration for gaming, user interfaces, personal navigation and multimedia browsing in mobile phones.
"Imagination has a long legacy of delivering advanced graphical intellectual property, which has had an impact in the mobile and tablet market. Their technology has played a key role in driving, not just the take up of graphical applications, such as games and location-based services, but also the graphical user interfaces that manage those applications," stated Sarkkinen.

Hey you know what would be really cool in Firebug? Have it so that you can make a colour picker appear for CSS colours (e.g. by right clicking on the hex and selecting a colour picker option from the clipboard menu). This would really boost my productivity when using firebug to test out different style ideas. :)
