They allow transfer to them and payment to a scam site and then close your account so you cant recover any money and didnt answer with acceptable solution, just pre writted message. They sucks
How much has Coinbase defrauded you? Send the amount expressed in US Dollars to: firstname.lastname@example.com Let's see the total and discover whether law enforcement is interested. DO NOT send personal information, just the actual dollar amount of your loss.
I lost USD $2,000 to them two weeks ago in a BTC purchase order they cancelled for no reason, then failed to refund the money they had withdrawn from my bank account.
Please post this contact email address and request to your Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Coinbase requires users to share their most personal state-regulated information, such as their real world identity via state-regulated ID and their social security number. When I asked them to change this for the privacy and safety of their customers, they declined on the basis of "regulation requirements". A company that cowardly kowtows to the state is a clear sign that when our MONEY and our RESOURCES are at threat, Coinbase will be out to save itself.
Tip for consumers: Boycott the major BTC wallet providers until they take a stance for the privacy and safety of their customers, and can verify their trustworthiness in this cause.Ask Jack about Coinbase
They suspended my account, tried for days to get an answer why, claimed I may be using the funds to fund terrorists. I accept Bitcoin on my website and demanded I turn over all my customer details, not just the ones that used Bitcoin. When I refused they closed my account.
Also every time I sent an email to there customer service I would suddenly get porn spam. I know it's coming from them, I only used that email address for Coinbase communications.
I suspect they only wanted my customer database so they can try to get people to move over to them.
I have an open case with these people regarding a $1000 transaction that I initiated with Coinbase. Their website tells me that the transaction is complete, however I haven't received my funds yet. I keep writing to them and all i get is the "wait alittle more" response. I am very displeased with their service. I write to you as a warning. For the sake of your sanity and you money, DO NOT DEPOSIT or WITHDRAW any money into this service! They will flat out rob you. I have read the warning from other people and didn't listen. But the warning is REAL. DON'T MESS WITH THESE GUYS, THEY WILL ROB YOU. If you want details, I will give you all the details you need.
HEED MY WARNING!! These people kidnap and rape your bitcoins. They are low level shady bottom feeders. They don't care about you the only take your money and give you the finger. I got raped by these scumbags for $1000. I am definitely filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.
To file a complaint Google "FTC". and look for "Submit a consumer complaint"
Without a doubt, the worst customer service I've ever experienced. These guys tried to hold MY MONEY hostage. It might not seem like it now, but these guys are going to be remembered in the same thought as Mt Gox. They're happy to take your money, but when you need assistance because their awful application doesn't work as expected (and it WILL happen), you're completely on your own.
Managed to get my money out by transferring Bitcoin out in time.
Avoid at all costs. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Finally, don't be fooled by their "support" on social media/reddit. They tell you to get in touch if you announce a problem publicly but when you do, they never get back to you. Publicly, it looks like support is happening. But it's not. I think they have one person working support. Seems all he's doing is scratching his balls.
Avoid at all costs.
I had my bitcoins sold last fall and I still cannot get a refund. They have put me through the ringer for months and it is starting all over again.
My purpose now is to save anyone else from going through what I am going through. Coinbase are THIEVES!
Hi Gail, Can you clarify what you mean by this?
> I had my bitcoins sold last fall and I still cannot get a refund.
You could buy bitcoins again with the proceeds of your sale, but given the volatility of bitcoin's price, it wouldn't really make sense to give a refund.
All of a sudden Coinbase is closing my account and I cannot access it to transfer my bitcoins to another wallet. I have been going back and forth with their lousy customer
service for over two weeks as I changed my phone number and now I cannot access my
account. Coinbase "outsourced" the verification process to authy.com and they are giving a
really hard time to accept the phone change. They "argue" that they are doing it for security reasons, so they can be sure that I am the owner of the account. First authy mentioned that they will take TWO business days to process the request. I kept contacting them and today they say that it will take an extra THREE business days. They are supposed to be technology companies! It's ridiculous!
Tip for consumers: Stay away from Coinbase!Ask Rosana about Coinbase
Why no phone number for an urgent problem? Why it takes days to hear back from coinbase?
I will talk here from a person with a european bank account. I don't know how it works if you have a US bank account. Coinbase allows someone in the European SEPA zone to do SEPA transfer and buy or sell bitcoins.Then, it acts like a wallet.
The website is really simple compared to other i have tried (like stripe).
Security is the same as for paypal but this time you do a little bank transfer to coinbase to confirm your account. coinbase also allows to do an automated transfer of your fund in euros to your bank account and that's really good. I have no idea if it does the same with USD.
I have paid online with it and it works well.
They froze my account because they decided to buy bitcoin s for me and overdraft my bank account so I had my bank cancel the order now they canceled the one bitcoin transaction I actually wanted and are holding the funds. Do not use this site they are just trying to scam you use bitquick.com trust me
Hi there, I'm sorry to see you had a rough experience.
We don't freeze a customers funds, so you even if you've been asked to close your account, you should still be able to move your money out of your Coinbase wallet.
If you're having trouble doing so, please let me know.
The frozen my account with more than 1000$ of BTC for no reason without any notice after some months of service. I tried to contact their support but no-one responded. There isn't any phone to contact them and no office address. There are hinders of scam reports about coinbase just by making a search on Google.com
Struggling to even open an account with them from the UK.
It's bad when a company's lack of ability/responsability costs you money. I couldn't get access to my account because every time I try to log in it sends a verification code to my phone before I could log in. Well this last time and since there have been no codes sent to the phone. So, I have been up the creek so to speak. And they have no customer service available to speak of. Obviously a Mickey Mouse operation.
I feel compelled to write a review only to offset the horrid reviews I see here posted on this site. It does take a while for Coinbase to approve a high level of "Instant" purchases (as opposed to purchases that take days), but that is fine with me. The fact of the matter is that Coinbase is insured and it is a very "institutional" feeling trading platform. For me, that makes me like it more. There are lots of exchanges out there, but this is the only one with high financial level institutional trust for me to use. They charge a 1% fee for changing Dollars and Bitcoin in either direction (Buy or Sell), but for using your Bitcoin to buy services directly it costs nothing other than the BTC itself in your account. I highly recommend trying it out today!
After verifying myself to death several weeks earlier, Coinbase canceled 13 of my pending purchases from the past week, and will not respond to emails. Chat simply hangs up on me.
Of course, they cancelled them all at 5 pm, today, Friday May 22nd. The Bitcoins were supposed to be in my account by "end of business day" today. Why didn't they cancel when I purchased, instead of the day and the minute they were supposed to be funded into my account?
I bought at 232 and Bitcoin went up to 240 today. So I'd have to re repurchase at a higher price. How convenient.
I needed the Bitcoins by Friday May 29th to purchase something that will not be available after May 29th. Because Coinbase cancelled all my transactions, I will not be able to make this much desired purchase. I have lost out completely. Way to go Coinbase.
Their customer care is ABSOLUTELY APPALLING!!!
Today is Friday May 22nd. My buy/sell capabilites are locked. As is Memorial Day Weekend, even if they unock my account on Monday, (a big if) it will be too late to receive any Bitcoins by Friday May 29th.
The earliest I will be able to receive any Bitcoins purchased will be Tuesday June 2nd and the offer ends Friday May 29th. It takes four-five days to get Bitcoins from Coinbase.
Is there any way to give no stars? This business does not even deserve one star!
All I get is the run around. I do not know when or if I will hear from Coinbase on this matter.
I would urge you VERY STRONGLY not to trust coinbase.
Although I am new to bitcoin, I've been in the financial markets my whole life.
Whatever coinbase may have once been, it is not, now. My main bank account website, for example, has never had a glitch or an error....ever. Sometimes it's offline. But not even a small glitch, much less a fundamental error.
In three days on Coinbase. there are many glitches and problems. I've connected my bank account, for example, and bought a few bitcoins. Suddenly, there is an error not allowing me to make purchases, and pop-up screens directing me to send personal information to THIRD PARTY WEBSITES (of the kind that would enable anyone with that information to commit identity theft.)
48 hours ago, the tech person said the problem would be resolved. In 48 hours, no resolution, no word.
Also, somewhere on the site I read that they claim the right to TAKE BITCOINS out of your wallet, themselves, in certain circumstances. THEY CAN TAKE YOUR MONEY, it would therefore seem, from YOUR Wallet.
Or, should I say, "Your" wallet.
My best investments have been based, at least partly, on intuition. And I smell a BIG RAT at Coinbase. Whatever they may have once been, they are no more.
DO NOT TRUST COINBASE, or you will be Mt. Goxed, I promise you. Or be a sheep, don't think for yourself, get fleeced, and then slaughtered. Your choice.
I was hesitant to place a buy order with these folks after reading story after story about how they would cancel a buy order. I placed a buy order with these guys yesterday for 10 million bits, 10 btc, and today I received an email stating that my buy order was canceled. I am pretty upset because I had to jump through bank account and identity verification hoops only to have them say sorry, better luck next time. I also found it rather convienent that they canceled the order after the price went up. Had it went down I am sure they would have been more than happy to push the order through. It's my own fault though, I knew they had a history of pulling this crap but I tried anyway.
This is a MOB.

Trading Bitcoin Privacy For Banking Convenience
"This is just like buying bitcoins from your bank – or from the Internal Revenue Service. If a bank offered a bitcoin purchasing option from its website, it would look like Coinbase. If Coinbase cut them in on the commission, it could probably white-label the service directly to banks."

Evan Moore - March 27, 2015
starstarstarstarstar I purchased Bitcoins back in January with no problem, and sold them on 3/18. It has now been 9 days since I made the sale, but I have still not received any deposits into my bank account. The in-product messaging states that the sale has been completed, and I no longer have any Bitcoins in my wallet.
The question is, if I no longer have Bitcoins in my wallet, where is my money? I have written into Support multiple times, and am in the 'Supervisor queue'. I have been waiting days for an update. This type of experience does not instill confidence in the user base, and unfortunately this has been a terrible first experience with Coinbase, and will make me re-think my use of the platform moving forward.
Anon - March 11, 2015
starstarstarstarstar Coinbase has worked perfectly for me. the only issue that I have had was getting my credit card verified, and that was due to my credit card company's incompetence. Easy to use and buy my coins with. I do not store any large amount with them, as i would rather control the private keys. I will be checking out their new vault, and the exchange once it is available in my state.

starstarstarstarstar awful customer service. After doing every verification step i made a purchase. one week later after they completed the withdraw from my bank the order was canceled with no explanation. I asked for more information and was told i was "high risk" with no other information. I kept asking for them to elaborate and then I was band from buying on coinbase after trying another transaction. Slow and awful buying process with bad customer service. if you talk to someone with the chat function they will never have information either. just go to an exchange and don't use this expensive middle man.
coinbase_user - February 19, 2015
starstarstarstarstar Coinbase recently banned me from buying btc with no explanation given. They said I was "high risk," yet was cooperative with follow-up requests (e.g., license identification), answered questions, then they just contacted me and said sorry, manual review says you're risk. Bye. Completely out of the blue. What a joke.
They advertise a four day wait to get your bitcoins after you purchase them. Why the four day wait I don't know. But it is really a five day wait because you look at your account after the four business days, and the purchase still has not been made. So you contact "Seth" who says they will be available by midnight PST making it really a five business day wait. This site is a scam.
Send in an order for 1300 dollars and they cancelled it. Said their software detected "high risk" behavior on my account. What the hell?! What kind of response is that? What does that even mean. They didn't even give me a better response. The just said "we're sorry". If they can't give a better reason, it means they don't have one. They are scamming people selectivity. So I waited 2 weeks and tried again. Same thing. Cancelled automatically by their system. And they kept the fees both times!! If the btc value changes in a way that doesn't benefit them, they blame you saying a Blakeney statement that you are "high risk" they cancel your order, keep your fee, and they aren't losing anything by cancelling the transaction. They are just keeping thousands of people's fees. They don't even have a phone number! Seriously, STAY AWAY FROM COINBASE!!
Terrible experience. I followed their procedures, handed over a ton of personal info, bought bitcoins, and then was told that it was cancelled. They provided very little information as to why it was cancelled. Oh yeah and they cancelled it after the price moved up significantly int he days after my purchase - how conveniant...
I'd give them a rating of no stars if it were available. THIS COMPANY SUCKS!!!! They collect your banking and your Credit Card information allow you to start your purchases then you get an email saying that the transactions was deemed high risk and thus it was canceled. When I asked for my confidential information to be deleted from their database they said to close my account. I hope these brainiacs recognize that they will be liable if anything happens to my bank account and my credit card information). Simply put they should not be allowed to operate. COINBASE SUCKS!!!

Best bitcoin company out there, by far
Absolutely no issues whatsoever. Make sure you're aware of your finances prior to joining. lol. Cheers!
They just stole my money too.
How do we stop them?
Unfortunately I have found Coinbase to be one big bad joke. It took me 3 weeks and endless emails to verify myself to the teeth, providing all my personal and financial information, just to have transactions cancelled and told I'm high risk. I'm extremely annoyed! And of course no advise or help on how to get this fixed. Not happy here! >:(
Quality services, very well documented and detailed API and a very nice interface.
They will urge you to setup and verify your account in order to avoid the lengthy five day wait for your transactions to complete, but even when it is verified you then have to wait another 24 days. All this time you are restricted as to how much you can buy on a given day. See message from Customer Support below. Bottom line, if you want to buy Bitcoin in a hurry, do not waste your time here.
" Tom, I see you have completed all the verification steps necessary for instant buy. Your current limit for instant buy is $100. This limit will increase in 24 days when your first successful purchase reaches its 30 day mark. Your limit will then increase to $1000 instant buy. Unfortunately, there is no way that we can expedite this process so I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. "
A decent bitcoin wallet service. It's a little preliminary to evaluate anything bitcoin-related, but as a tool it's ok.
It's good to see that they also 1) created Coinbase exchange; 2) enable USD wallets, and add that feature to more states; 3) Enable Bitcoin in more countries thus creating more liquidity.
Thumbs up!
Coinbase must be totally overwhelmed. Queries to the "support" service don't even get assigned to an agent after weeks.
The problem that I am having, is that when using their service to email some bitcoin to someone, if the recipient does not wish to receive them or does not see the incoming email, then Coinbase is not returning the bitcoin to the originating account.
I had seen originally, in their support forums, that they would automatically return the bitcoin to originating account after 30 days, but it looks like they don't have the staff to manage their customers problems, and they don't have the staff to automate their operations properly.
I recommend that anyone who is considering Coinbase to wait until they have fixed their problems and search the net until current customers have their concerns answered. It is very dangerous, in the times of Bitcoin volatility, to use Coinbase until they are able to train an expanded staff.
Coinbase accidentally deposited too much money into my account. They then transfered Bitcoins out of my account without notifying me (I suspect to cover their mistake). They transfered the coins out when Bitcoin was low and now they are taking money from my bank account systematically. All of this is happening without so much as a word from them. I've e-mailed them several times.
Coinbase is a fraud and I warn everyone not to trust them.
A couple of my friends started using Coinbase so I thought I would also give it a try. I purchased 3 bitcoins on a Saturday night. The website said that it would take 4 business days for me to receive my bitcoins so the bitcoins would be in my account by Friday. During that week the money was pulled out of my bank account for the bitcoins (a little over $2K). Friday came around and the transaction in my Bitcoin account said it was "complete" but there was not any bitcoins in my account.
I waited until Saturday to see if the bitcoins would appear in my account. Saturday morning at 8am there was still not any bitcoins in my account so I sent them a ticket to their support team about the issue. On Sunday I tweeted to them and my friend tweeted to them to see what was going on. On Monday I sent another ticket to their support team. Tuesday after noon rolls around and I still have not had any response to any of my tickets or tweets. During this time they have been tweeting so I know they are checking their account but ignoring my tweet.
So Tuesday night I wrote to them telling them that I was going to contact my bank that night to file a claim against them. They responded to that ticket within 9 minutes saying that they know that I paid for 3 bitcoins but there is a bug in their system and that is why I do not have my bitcoins.
It was obvious that they were checking the support emails but only responding when they are faced with a fraud claim to a bank.
Now they won't respond again and I still don't have any bitcoins. They have stolen over $2K from me and won't respond to me.
In response to Juan F. above, I completely agree with you. During this entire process Coinbase did not start responding to my support tickets until the price of BTC dropped below the price that I purchased the bitcoins for. When they weren't responding the bitcoins had gone up in price from what I purchased them for.
Do not trust this company!
I signed up in mid November and had my first transaction go through without a problem...
...but for over three weeks now I cannot get a transaction executed. At first it was a "High Risk" orders issue. - Oddly enough, they took the money from my checking account after cancelling my "High Risk" orders (they must have been a little short over there and needed me to float them a loan). I contacted them but never received a response. About a week later they redeposited the money into my checking account.
So after all that cleared up, I decided to try again... After waiting for 4 days for the order to execute, and then...IT WAS CANCELLED WITHOUT EXPLANATION! -WTF?
So, I have contacted them, again, to try to find out what the problem is but I don't expect to hear back. I now have the joy of waiting to see if they take the money out of my checking account, again!
All in all, it has been nearly a month since I created my account and I have had one small order execute and seven cancelled.
Much better than MTgox.com!
Coin base is a complete fraud
Well, it's not too hard to see how it works. I validate my bank account. I initiate transaction on my end, they buy bitcoins on their end and wait few days for my money to reach them. They tell you it has to take a week or longer and gives u specific date. Since bitcoin is so volatile, big changes can happen in a week.
IF bitcoin goes up, they cancel my transaction and say it is "high risk" and initiate a return of my money. IF bitcoin goes down they allow transaction to stay and they keep my money and give me the bitcoins.
It is common sense. Obviously they're not going to steal from every transaction, and they can pick and choose how much they make.
This blog post here is vague and a lie. He cites that it is because ppl try to scam them with fake bank account #s and such. That is such a lie, because you can never scam someone with fake bank account # if the purchase isn't instant. because transaction won't go thru, DUH. Same with fake credit card #s, it WONT GO THRU.
With the whole high risk transaction mechanism, coinbase can literally control exactly how much they can make off of the volatile market. I was one of the people that got hurt REALLY bad. some people might even benefit from a canceled order. but the point is, coinbase CONTROLS everything.
I want coinbase to SHOW PROOF that they have been ripped off because people used fake bank account #s. THEY CAN'T. Because you can't get ripped off from a fake account #. You cannot get ripped off if the purchase is not instant.
With the high risk transaction mechanism, Coinbase is GUARANTEED to make money. In a market that is growing, all they have to do is have the system set to flag xx% of transactions, and they are GUARANTEED to make money off this. A LOT of money based on how many transactions they process.
COINBASE, if you are reading this. Please respond and defend your case (i know, your answer would probably be "we can't disclose, blah blah blah.)
Coinbase provides a good quality service... I would recommend it.
Coinbase seems like a more trustworthy and stable alternative to MtGox if you are a business that wants to accept bitcoins or if you are an individual who wishes to purchase bitcoins. The downside of Coinbase appears to be that if you wish to remain anonymous I don't think Coinbase is going to do much to help.

The First Day of Class: A Once-a-Semester Opportunity
There's only one first day of class. Here are some ideas for taking advantage of opportunities that are not available in the same way on any other day of the course.
There's only one first day of class. Here are some ideas for taking advantage of opportunities that are not available in the same way on any other day of the course.
By: T. Scott Bledsoe Psy.D. and Janice Baskin
Upon setting foot in the classroom at the beginning of the semester, many students experience varying degrees of anxiety or fearfulness. As educators, we often sense nervousness among our pupils as we introduce ourselves and hand out copies of the course syllabus to review. Most students settle in shortly, but some may remain consistently fearful. Is it possible that their high levels of fear negatively affect their ability to learn in the classroom from week to week? In this article, we discuss the role of debilitating fear in some students' lives and identify ways that educators can help them attain success despite their anxiety.
"In our class: 1) everyone is allowed to feel they can work and learn in a safe and caring environment; 2) everyone learns about, understands, appreciates, and respects varied races, classes, genders, physical and mental abilities, and sexualities; 3) everyone matters; 4) all individuals are to be respected and treated with dignity and civility; and 5) everyone shares the responsibility for making our class, and the Academy, a positive and better place to live, work, and learn."
Editor's Note: In last week's Teaching Professor Blog, Maryellen Weimer mentioned an article that originally appeared in the Nov. 2010 issue of The Teaching Professor newsletter. Due to numerous requests from readers, we're sharing that article here.
I was the invited outside speaker at a professional development event for schoolteachers. The day's lunch was preceded by a public prayer that inspired me to consider parallels in "callings to serve" that can be found in both education and religion. Sometime later, I happened to read a poem in a Jewish prayer book that expressed noble intentions for a worship space. The poem didn't reference a particular faith—it was really just a set of intentions. Immediately, I thought of what professors hope for in their classroom spaces.
Whether it's a student who is texting during class, an online student who makes minimal comments to the discussion board, or a teacher who marches nonstop through mountains of material, the learning environment is defined by a combination of individual behaviors, and everybody contributes to what that environment becomes.
My colleague Chuck Walker, a psychology professor at St. Bonaventure University (NY), shared a collection of instructional strategies that illustrate how the principles of positive psychology might be applied in the classroom. (For examples see: http://wellbeingincollege.org/faculty-resources) I especially like this one.
A bevy of research establishes that student-faculty relationships are important on a number of fronts. For example, they predict persistence and completion in college. They impact the amount of effort students make in courses. They affect the development of students' academic self-concepts. The authors of this analysis write: "There is evidence in the literature to suggest that the way students feel about their relationship to the professor may play an even larger role than many faculty know, or—perhaps—care to admit." (p. 41)
In the July 10, 2013 post, I shared some ideas about learning with students precipitated by an article that made an interesting distinction between "doing for" students and "learning with" students. The post generated some good responses and prompted Aron Reppmann, a philosophy professor at Trinity Christian College in Illinois, to send me an email. "I think you have your finger on something that's often missed in debates about professors' posture toward students: namely that to say that we learn with and from our students is not necessarily to say that we are always learning in the same way as our students."
I don't know if the first day of class is the most important day of the course, but I don't think many of us would disregard its significance. What we do and how we do it matters. There are lots of good first-day activities—we've shared some in this blog over the years. In this post I'd like to move our thinking in a different direction and suggest five first-day essentials that go beyond the activities. These are the goals for the first day that we can use the activities to accomplish.

During the final meeting with one of my speech classes, I asked each student to give a few parting words to the class. I found a similar message resonating from many who spoke. Soon after, I received an email from an advisor at our school asking me to share some tips on fostering learning in the classroom. Since I had recorded that final speech class, I decided to use my students' comments as the basis for my advice.

When most people think of homemade rye bread, they rarely think of the word "easy." The 100% rye bread I now bake 2-3 times of week really is easy to make! It is based on the famous slightly sweet Russian rye bread, called Borodinsky.
I had found a wonderful Borodinsky recipe on a Russian website, but in order to make it workable I had to change some proportions and instructions, remove wheat flour and write all the measurements in cups. The final result is hearty, chewy rye bread with a warm hard crust.
The recipe asks for rye malt. You can buy rye malt in my amazon store. Put your rye malt in the bread dough as is. Do not grind it in your blender. I have ground it once only to make a bad loaf of bread.
If you want to use maple syrup instead of the brown sugar, you can. Just reduce the overall amount of water by half a cup.
Sprinkling this bread with water is very important. Sprinkle rather generously, unless you like to eat dry heavy bricks. I sprinkle the bread right before it goes in the oven. Close the oven's door gently when you put the bread in: you don't want the loaves to fall, because you slammed the door.
The loaf pan you bake your bread in is important. The loaf pan from your supermarket ( the $7 variety) may disappoint you, as no matter how much you'd oil it, the bread will stick to it. I use a $37 loaf pan from Williams Sonoma, which I bought after a few unsuccessful experiments with my $7 loaf pan.
To bake the bread, you'd need this easy rye starter. If you order your rye malt today and start the starter at the same time, you'd probably be ready to bake in 3 days.
I like to use whole coriander seeds, as they give out more aroma than the powder. You can use powdered coriander, however, in which case you'd only need 1/4 cup of it. You can also omit it, if you don't like coriander.
Do not eat this bread hot out of the oven! It won't taste right and will be too sticky and gooey. It needs to rest for an hour in order for all the flavors to develop.
Easy Homemade Rye Bread Recipe
By February 14, 2013Published:
- Yield: 1 loaf
- Prep: 10 mins
- Cook: 45 mins
- Ready In: 2 hrs 25 mins
When most people think of homemade rye bread, they rarely think of the word "easy." The 100% rye bread I now bake 2-3 times of week …
- 3 tablespoons Rye starter
- 4 cups Rye flour divided
- 3.5 cups Warm Water
- 1/2 cup Organic unsulphured molasses
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1/2 cup Rye malt
- 1/2 cup Coriander seeds whole
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar
- In a large bowl, combine the rye starter with 2 cups of flour and 2 cups of warm water. Mix very well. Take out 1/2 cup of this mixture and place it in the refrigerator: this is your rye starter for the future bread you are going to bake.
- In a small bowl, combine the rest of the flour with the dry yeast. Add this mixture to the dough in the large bowl.
- Add the rest of the warm water, the molasses, the salt, the malt, the seeds (if using) and the brown sugar. Mix very well ( spend a few minutes doing that.) The dough should resemble runny mashed potatoes in consistency.
- Pour the dough into a well-oiled loaf pan. Cover with a towel and leave to stand and rise overnight.
In the morning, turn the oven to 450 degrees F. On the bottom shelf of the oven, place a dish with 1 cup of water (for steam.)
- Generously sprinkle the bread with water and put it in the oven. Keep it there for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven's temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake for 30 minutes. Turn the oven off, but keep the bread in there for another 15 minutes.
- Take the bread out and let it cool down in the loaf pan. When it's ready to handle, take it out of the pan and let it rest for an hour before serving it.

The jacket is nice and roomy. I used it once in dry conditions and acts as a good windbreaker. I finally used it on a dive and my only complaint is that the sleeves around the wrists are snug. There are velcro straps, but loosening them doesnt make much difference. The fleecy liner gets pushed out of the sleeve ends if youre still damp - I would take off a half star for that. Otherwise very comfortable and a good price.

Only used it twice. Both the bag and wheels feel pretty durable. Nice to have wheels to lug around heavy wet equipment and backpack straps to carry if necessary. Pulling the bag with the soft handle can get a bit squirrelly. So you need to make sure the bag is firmly tilted before you start to pull.

Better Know a Panelist: NS2's Darrin Lashinsky on Country Music Summit's 'Touring Saturation' Panel
By Ray Waddell
Third generation concert promoter Darin Lashinsky left a senior VP post at Outback Concerts last year to launch Nashville-based independent concert promotion company National Shows 2 (NS2) active in several genres, including country.
At the Billboard Country Music Summit June 6-7 in Nashville, Lashinsky will be joined by such prominent talent buyers as Gil Cunningham, president, Neste Event Marketing; Brian O'Connell, president, Live Nation Country Music; Louis Messina, president, TMG/AEG Live; and Gary Weinberger, president of Red Mountain Entertainment, along with music legend and touring warhorse Charlie Daniels, to take on topics related to the touring industry.
Sponsored by Bridgestone Arena, the panel is called "Touring Saturation: Are We There Yet?" and, as part of our Better Know A Panelist Series, Lashinsky weighs in here with this exclusive Q&A.
Billboard: What's the last new music you heard that got you excited?
Darin Lashinsky: Brantley Gilbert "Country Must Be Country Wide." There's a huge buzz around Brantley, and I think this is a great song to introduce him to the "country"
Name one of the most memorable live shows you've ever seen
KISS, 1976 Destroyer tour in Charleston, W.V. I was 9 years old and it changed my life instantly.
Can country music fans support 20 major-venue- headlining artists?
DL: I don't think so, it seems like sales will suffer somewhere.
At this moment in time, what encourages you about the country music business?
DL: I'm very encouraged by the new crop of headliners, they are diverse and have already created a solid foundation to their careers with multiple successful CDs and support touring slots.
Is the relationship and level of cooperation between the various entities you work with-agents, labels, radio, sponsors, management, ticketing companies-better or worse than five years ago?
DL: I don't think it has changed much over the past five years.
What recent deal, yours or otherwise, impresses you most for its creativity and success?
DL: I'm impressed with the large number of headline artists that have put together very strong support packages. It seems they are trying not only to bring a big show but offer their fans value.
What is the most hopeful/positive development you've seen for the music business recently?
DL: Artists that are continuing to develop careers and break through without requiring terrestrial radio support.
The Billboard Country Music Summit -- featuring Q&As with Carrie Underwood and Kenny Chesney and two days of programming that encompasses virtually all aspects of the country music business -- takes place June 6 and 7 in Nashville. Head here to register and get information.

History in towns: Bristol Rhode Island
Contumacious individualists, Rhode Island's settlers did not often organize formal settlements on the Puritan model; Bristol is the finest exception. If it today retains so much of its character and scale, it is because the geometric logic of its plan remained appropriate. Thames Street served the physical functions of theharbor, Hope the commercial, and High the civic. The result is one of the most enduring and successful essays of Puritan town planning, here in a maritime setting.—William H. Jordy1

I in particular like that Yveltal icon, perhaps you can make the second frame? It really looks in shape, and I assume you've used the same colours of the regular palette? Anyhow, it looks great!
You'd better coin in some CSS for the thread, man.
Haha thanks a lot ;D tbh I don't really plan on changing the design but thanks for the suggestions
and for the icon I suppose I could, it only has the one frame atm because the game i made it for only uses the one frame as of right now
I will start to code in some css eventually but I'm too lazy atm XD

I live in Paris, where I am studying for a PhD. I like playing basket ball, fencing (saber) and of course traveling. I had the opportunity to visit a range of countries including Namibia, India (hiking in Ladakh) and Japan, and actually lived for six months in California.
I enjoy meeting people from other nationalities, learning about the specificities of their country and culture, and speaking foreign languages. I learned English, Spanish and German (and to a lower extent Chinese and Japanese) and I welcome any occasion to practice !

Darrington, Washington Is One Of A Kind!
The town of Darrington, Washington is nestled in Cascade Mountains of Northwest Washington State, is only about 500 feet above sea level, yet with Jumbo and Whitehorse Mountains looming over the town from the southern horizon it feels like you are deep in the Cascade Mountain Range.
The first to settle the valley here were the native American Sauk-Suiattle Indian tribe. Miners began staking claims in 1889 and "Starve Out", later called Darrington grew into a boom town. The Train arrived in Darrington in 1901. Mining at this time was beginning peter out and the timber industry was starting up. Loggers from Sweden and the south eastern United States came to harvest the timber and settle the valley. They brought with them a rich heritage that is still very evident today including bluegrass music. You can come to Darrington and enjoy bluegrass music at the annual Darrington Bluegrass Festival, mid-July. Today the town is still home to a variety of small logging and lumber companies as well as Hampton Lumber's state of the art mill.
Back in 1946 Darrington started out to raise money to by a new firetruck and created an event called the Timberbowl. This was the beginning of our Timberbowl Rodeo which is still going strong today! We have the only permanent world-class archery range in the United States which hosts big events every year.
Today the town is about 1,400 residents and 1,200 in the surrounding area. Folks are friendly, like to get together and are proud of their school. The town is surrounded by rivers and mountains, beyond that is the Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest , Boulder River, Glacier Peak and Henry M. Jackson designated wilderness ares offering an abundance of outdoor adventures. The surrounding peaks are well known by the mountaineers and many whitewater rafters and kayakers come to brave the rapids of the rivers. All can enjoy over 328 miles of hiking and horse trails, scenic backroads, numerous picturesque picnic sites, beautiful alpine and lakes, waterfalls and the lush greens and dense forest.
Still throughout the years as history has shaped the Darrington area in many ways the population remains steadfast to the things that brought them to this special valley.
So maybe you are just wondering just what kind of town is Darrington?

I am having a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop. Due to some Virus problems i needed to re-install Windows XP on the same. I just did fresh XP installation after which when i went to Device Manager i saw several question marks which appeared to be the drivers problem. I downloaded all recent drivers from Dell's Official website and installed all. But surprisingly i can still see 4 question marks left in Device Manager. So far i might have installed more than 20 drivers then what are these 4 left?
This includes 3 Base System Device and 1 Network Controller. Can anyone please tell me which drivers and from where can i get drivers for them? Thanks.

Smack Shack lobster boil a roiling success
It's like Maine in Minnesota
A word of advice for a lobster boil: Surrender your dignity and strap on your bib, because it's gonna be a messy night. It's not often the opportunity for a full-on lobster boil with all the trimmings presents itself in our landlocked region. And it's even more unlikely to find a lobster dinner that is expertly prepared but also affordable. In steps the Smack Shack to fill our void.
The food truck is parked for now, but the crew has moved into the 1029 Bar Wednesdays through Saturdays. Here's what we found over the weekend.
Though the operation has moved indoors, the Smack Shack is still serving food that ranges from its famous lobster rolls and lobster mac 'n' cheese to more common bar fare like wings and burgers, all dressed up in its gourmet-on-the-fly style, of course.
This past Friday, the bar was filled to capacity with friendly neighborhood drinkers and crustacean fans clamoring for seats. The jukebox was serendading us with the dulcet tones of Rock Lobster as giant tins were passed around carrying enormous Valentine-hued lobsters, Texas toast, sunny ears of corn, skin-on red mashed potatoes, sausage, and a vat of drawn butter. The chefs were making the rounds, joking with everyone and showing the newbies how to get into the prehistoric-looking things. Diners gleefully cracked open claws and tail to extract the succulent, sea-salt-kissed meat, occasionally getting a lobster-juice facial in the process.
While butter is always welcome, the meat was so juicy and refreshingly sweet there wasn't really a need for it. The attentive and gregarious servers waltzed around the tables refilling wine glasses, offering water, and responding to every diner's whim. All of this was for just $20--a far cry from what lobster dinners can cost elsewhere. It was so much fun that the crew decided to do another boil the next night.
Word soon circulated that there might be more on the horizon. Follow the Smack Shack on Facebook or Twitter for more details.

A fun game for the week since it's been slow.
Build the ultimate beautiful Frankenstein...
Here are the rules:
1. Function doesn't count. This is for beauty ONLY.
2. The parts DO have to all work together.
3. Any era for any part is possible, but it has to be able to work together. Modifications are allowed to make it fit.
4. You must use a MINIMUM of 3 distinct groups...you can't just drop on an entire c-record group. The idea is to combine things.
5. NO ICS or things that are modified by others. NO DRILLIUM, unless it was offered stock.
6. You must select everything visual...frame/fork optional...as are parts you can't see.

Chris Hemsworth teams with Chris Evans in new snapshots and video from the big battle scene on the Cleveland set of the Marvel film. Warning: Spoilers!
Revealing photos from the Cleveland set should put to rest any remaining doubts about at least one of the threats faced by Earth's Mightiest Heroes in the Marvel film. Warning: Major spoilers follow!
Explosions ripped through East Ninth Street in Cleveland Monday afternoon during filming of director Joss Whedon's The Avengers. Chris Evans was spotted on set, where shooting will continue through Saturday.
Filming of a battle scene began this morning at a debris-strewn Cleveland intersection that's been transformed into New York City's 42nd Street for the Joss Whedon-directed film.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich confirmed this afternoon that part of The Avengers will be filmed in Cleveland following Marvel's decision to withdraw the project from Michigan over questions about state tax incentives. The Joss Whedon-directed movie is expected to begin shooting in the city in the fall.
Following news that Marvel has decided not to shoot part of The Avengers because of questions about tax incentives, Ohio Gov. John Kasich has revealed he's working with Cleveland officials to bring an unnamed Marvel/DC superhero movie to that city.

Hi ladies, I really need your help... Im pregnant with no health insurance and I dont know where to go to get prenatal care for me and my baby without it costing me an arm and a leg. My husband and I are not eligible for medicaid and I tried to get regular insurance but neveda does not have a maternity rider and to have the insurance cover the pregnancy, I would have to be a policy owner for two years before they cover the expense. I'm so frustrated because I dont know what to do or where to go to get prenatal care and how will I deliver my baby without it costing me a fortune? Please help with answers for OB/GYN doctors, clinics, hospital or some sort of insurance that I can apply for... Thank you in advance for your kindness.
Pregnant. No health insurance. where do I go for prenatal care??
valley hospital has a program called "Babies are beautiful". They help you apply for medicaid or if you are not eligible they help you go to doctors and stuff for ur pregnancy low cost.
I went to the hospital because I was having unknown abdominal pain which was related to the pregnancy. They asked if I had insurance and shortly after saying "No" they had someone asking me questions and doing the paper work for me. The visit so far came to about $6,000 but it will all be covered and they go back as far as 3 months to cover other bills you had that where medical.
I found this to be the best way because if they don't get all your information you can be denied even if you know you qualify. You have to make sure you have all your proper paper work in order. Now this was for my situation it could be different not sure.
Hope this helps some. Remember never to ignore bad signs and go to emergency if you must. They can't take money you don't have.
Good luck!
Pinkpeas is another pregnancy care center in Las Vegas. Midwives, doulas, lactation consultants, and friends all gather there to share info! :-) Just go hang out, and ask all the questions you want!
one thing ive realized out here is that most doctors give discounts on their services because maternity coverage is so inadiquate out here. Thats about the only plus if you dont qualify for Medicaid
You know Nevada was actually rated F as far as family is concerned because they dont offer anything. I assumed every state gave benefits especially coming from California (only state rated A) that offered all kinds of benefits including maternity disability leave. Its a real eye opener. I want to go home so bad! lol sorry just had to vent. Its so sad that the casinos run this state. Its like all they do is take ppls money and dont give anything back cuz in all honesty the dont have to, but it would be nice.
The "Baby your Baby" is now called "Sunny Babies" at Sunrise hospital. U can call and make an appointment and after all is done is it about $5000 for all prenatal and delivery. U pay on a payment plan and have to pay I think like $1000 when u deliver and another $1000 a couple weeks later, thats is part of the taotal $5000. I did it. It took hard work to pay every month, but hey, cheaper than not having the program.
There was a privious poster that talked about midwives only charging about $2000. She's TOTALLY right.
I paid more for my out of pocket costs with my c/s than I did when I had my homebirth. and I homebirth included ALL my prenatal appointments, PLUS Bradley classes (which are GREAT btw), plus the labor / delivery part, which was at my house, and the cleaned everything up after!
AND all my well baby check ups for a whole year after!!! really really really consider going the homebirth route. you dont have to settle, you CAN have superior care for a better price!
OH! and I made payments. lol It was great, and if I ever have another baby I'm soooo calling her again!
check out the pinkpeas website for the calendar, and just go interview them. you never know unless you ask! right??
www.babyurmine.org has some resources that might be helpful as well. I'm in the process of applying for Medicaid (My hubby and I just lost our crappy insurance, so we already have bills to worry about on top of what's to come).
Unfortunately, my pregnancy is high-risk, so I can't give birth with a midwife/doula...

Official: Pa. inmates claim to be Jewish for meals
YORK, Pa. (AP) - Officials at a central Pennsylvania prison say some inmates are falsely claiming to be Jewish in order to get kosher meals.
Warden Mary Sabol says that has led to a dramatic spike in food costs at the York County Prison.
County acting solicitor Donald Reihart says officials must honor valid religious conversions. But he says that's not the case with many inmates.
Reihart says some prisoners game the system because they think kosher meals taste better than regular ones. Officials dispute any quality difference.
A prison spokesman says kosher meals are prepared outside the facility while regular ones are made on-site. The type of food varies on a pre-set schedule.
The prison has about 2,300 inmates. According to the York Daily Record (http://bit.ly/VKMzFz), more than 140 are requesting kosher meals.

3 Dorky Answers: the Corsairs destroyed most of the Zondas on the ground, and the few that did get into the air were outnumbered, outgunned and outmatched, leading to their quick destruction, arcanotech exists to break the laws of physics including the manipulation of gravity (there are greater applications, but we spent a long time flying kites before we figured out how to break the sound barrier and that's where arcanotech is currently, flying kites), it doesn't, but it needs an edit for repetitive word use. It's technobabble.
As for the voice of the piece, I am inclined to belief that at the time I was writing this, it was to simply get it out of my head, and voice was not nearly as pressing an issue so much as it was getting it done and out. I needs a revision, and fluff text added, with the canon material supported with game stats and such.

I was largely inspired by the ghola of the Dune universe, and the tigers from Babylon A.D. They're not real, they are clones.
i'm open to suggestions, because I do agree, this is very much lacking in the drama department, and it is rather lacking in grimness. The only point I can offer is that the pursuit of the green movement and bioecology has a much greater impact in the Cosmic Era than today. But in the CE there isn't a question of the impact of human climate and environment destruction because there is deforestation, wasteland zones, and areas that are afflicted by storm rifts that release toxic fumes, mutants, and invasive species.

's comment on 2013-12-19 01:07 PM
The categories are vague, and the path should be littered with dozens of examples of the process going wrong. The path to getting those basic genetic defect screens and fixes would have footnotes of where test groups all ended up with the affliction ramped up to 10, or unexpected genetic expression. This would all be tied into the cosmetic genetic augmentation in the setting (breast enlargement therapy, changing hair color, extreme skin pigmentation) where people in the early phases go in to get their baldness cured and come out blind, or some shadowrunner goes in to get enhanced reflexes and comes out with a slow onset neurological disease, etc.
As for creating genetic abominations and monstrosities, certainly, but these are more commonly going to be one off and government/megacorp special projects rather than a mainstream consumer product. They aren't going to make an over the counter genetic hair dye kit that has a 2-4% chance of turning users into She-Hulks. (they would exploit that tech to make mass produced she-hulks for the military)

I imagine Titus does most if not all of his hunting in urban environments. Actual battles on open plans he probably is going to tap former military contracts to get reinforcements and support. The vamp has a sniper rifle, Titus has a special forces team, and a helicopter. Networking, planning, and the protection of the Lord.

I needed a method for the main character to move back and forth rapidly from LA to Colorado, and other places, and driving wasn't going to be a viable option. We've got to get there ASAP! To the Hunter-Mobile, drive non stop for 2 days? I don't think so.
So from a meta level they are totally supporting characters. Piper has seen gameplay, as she has a lot in common with the MC, albeit a somewhat different skillset, and has been close to being an NPC minion to the PC.

This is an awesome item to find in the forgotten castle or the evil wizards yard sale. I like the spell only works on humans and not other animals. A rat or stoat is a beast, and small poisonous things like snakes or lizards. .. lots of potential for serious games or silly or whimsical settings.

Fantastic. Strong elements of horror and classic dungeons and dragons, illusions and necromancy. I enjoyed the read AND it is usable as both a basic encounter and as a focal point of an adventure or even a campaign if the wraith is actually a more powerful undead who escapes when the spell is broken or manifests through corpses it finds.

An interesting tale, and I like the fact that it is presented through multiple lenses, with the truth version presented in the end. It is strange, beguiling, and inviting. I like it. I want to map the city out like a living cell, with the inpenetrable fortress/tower/nucleus in the middle and the golden walls as the cell membrane, and the other various cellular apparatii having their own manifestations within the city.
How would the golden city respond to being looted? Gold is soft, so chopping hunks out it out of a wall wouldn't be hard for anyone with even bronze or stone tools.

|Tony Wessendorff & Gail Corrigan
|Hailing Port:
|Houston, Texas, USA
|After 25 fun filled years as an environmental consulting firm owner, Gail sold her company and she and her husband, Tony the CFO, retired to go sailing on their boat Cetacea (see photo gallery). Cetacea was in St. Lucia for 12 years and they sailed the eastern Caribbean as far north as the BVIs and as far south as Grenada. Almost all thier family and friends (see photo gallery) have joined them on at least one trip and look forward to more island adventures in the future! In February 2013, they finally unplugged from the dock and headed west. In 2013, they sailed to Bonaire; Curacao; Providencia and San Andres in Columbia; and Bocas del Toro and San Blas Islands in Panama. They left the boat in Shelter Bay, Colon, Panama at the end of 2013 to go "home for the holidays". In January 2014, they made transit through the Canal and into the Pacific, to the Galapagos Islands. In May, they sailed to the Marquesas Islands, then Tuamotu Islands, then Society Islands. They left Cetacea in Tahiti in September and flew home to be with family. In January 2015, they returned to Tahiti with a 12-month Visa and plan to sail around the Tuamotu Islands and Society Islands throughout 2015.
|P.S. Cetacea is the higher order biological name for whales and dolphins. Whales and dolphins are cetaceans. And our boat is a big fat whale of a boat, hence the name Cetacea! Not to mention that Tony & Gail, like all sailors, love whales.

text: This is probably a pretty simple question, but I'm unsure - I want to replace the old derailleur cables my 89 Bianchi Giro (DT shifters) and I'm not sure if I should use cables with or without housing. I know that originally, the cables were just routed under the bottom bracket without housing, presumably with some grease underneath to cut down on friction. Is that still the way I should do things, without housing?

"Dressed in feathers" is a collection of some of my favorite wildlife images (with an emphasis on wild birds) taken in the last 7 years within the Grecian landscape. Most of the images were taken on Lemnos and Lesvos Islands in the North Aegean sea.
In more detail, there are over 160 impressive photos with over 80 bird species represented and 7 other animals such as the fox, squirrel, fallow deer and others. Apart from the common and scientific Latin name I have included some extra info about each species plus technical specs of each shot such as focal length and exposure settings.
All of the photographs in this collection are of birds flying, feeding, singing, scratching, or doing something else interesting - these are not plain static portraits. Each and every image has something to say and all are composed with great care.
This book does not try to replace a bird guide, it's just a collection of images with some extra info to give the book some extra value. Hope you enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed creating them :) Feel free to leave a comment, thanks!
PS1: The preview of this standard landscape (25x20cm) 142 page book is only 23 pages.

Thanks for checking out my book, John. I think my next book should be about Greece too!
I ADORE your book - I think I'm going to have to buy a copy for my dad - he inspired in me my love of birds. If you're ever in Canada, you should visit Point Pelee - it's a point of land that juts into Lake Erie and serves as a stopover point for migratory birds in the spring and fall. I went once, but didn't have a good enough lens to get many great shots - I'm sure your photographic eye could do it justice!
