Roaster Restoration – Part 3
Faversham & Felixstowe, Oh My!
When I was hired by Coffee Bean International in 1982, my first job was as a brand manager for 'Jericho America', our line of imported coffee and tea equipment – both commercial (we directly imported and distributed commercial coffee grinders) and household (similarly, we directly imported and distributed container-loads of French presses, airpots, filter-papers, brew cones, and so forth). As a small Pacific Northwest specialty roaster in those very early years, we were chronically rich in great ideas but short of money, so I wound up learning to do most of the complicated work of running an import business on the fly, and on a shoestring – I think I could have written 'Managing Letters of Credit, CIF Price Quotes, Freight Consolidators, and Customs Brokers for Dummies'!
Kilimanjaro Day 7
My final day in Tanzania! Little did I know it would be such an adventurous one, but more on that at the end. Read more »

Kilimanjaro Day 4
There has been a mosquito haunting me all day. I woke up this morning at 4:45 am to him buzzing in my ear. Taunting me, letting me know that he outsmarted my mosquito net and will soon be feasting on my ankles. I managed to avoid him all morning, slapping my ears like a mad woman whenever he ventured too close. He finally drove me out of bed at 5:30, when I decided to take a walk in the hazy morning light and attempt to spot a glimpse of the looming Mt Kilimanjaro. Read more »
Kilimanjaro Day 3
Today we spent the day in the city of Moshi, jumping off point for Mt. Kilimanjaro treks as well as the coffee center of Tanzania. Annabel and I first visited the office of Tudeley Estates in Moshi, where a very kind Eric showed us Tudeley's cupping lap and sample roasting facilities. Although I wasn't able to snap a photo, I was shocked to see that their sample roaster was the same Probat model as ours at Coffee Bean International, although with 6 drums instead of 3. Read more »
Kilimanjaro Day 2
Today I woke up to the sound of buzzing crickets and many other unidentified insects. The sounds of Africa. Looking out the window is breathtaking, all of the dark shadows I saw last night driving to Kibo Estates from Kilimanjaro airport have revealed themselves to be colorful flowers, tall, spindly trees, and the vast, towering Mt. Kilimanjaro. Read more »
Kilimanjaro, Day 1
Things I discovered today:
- Tanzania is really far from Portland.
- The Sahara desert looks amazing from an airplane

The summer after Maggie Doyne graduated from high school, she decided to spend a year traveling the world before she started college. The journey changed her life — and the lives of hundreds of orphaned children — forever.
In 2006, Doyne took a backpacking trip through the Himalaya Mountains in the war-torn country of Nepal, in Asia. She met a slew of orphaned children. Having grown up comfortably in Mendham, New Jersey, Doyne was shocked to see so many kids living on the streets. She wanted to do something about it. So, Doyne used her savings of $5,000 in babysitting money to buy an acre of land in the village of Surkhet. Then, she built the kids a home, the Kopila Valley Children's Home.
Now, the Do Something foundation is doing something for Doyne. The youth organization provides resources and support for teens that want to make a difference in the world. On Thursday night, the foundation named Doyne the $100,000 grand-prize recipient of the 2009 Do Something Award.
A Life-Altering Trek
The Kopila Valley Children's Home officially opened its doors in 2008. Doyne, now 22 years old, currently cares for 26 kids at the home. She has helped more than 700 other orphans find families. She also runs an outreach program that provides scholarships for needy families to send their children to school. The children at the home learn basic skills such as sewing and cooking. They also grow their own food in their garden and raise farm animals.
Doyne admits that she didn't have it all figured out when she first arrived in Nepal. "I just felt that there was something there for me," she told TFK. She settled on building a children's home after speaking with the community about what they needed. Doyne says that her parents were supportive of her mission. But it was a challenge to convince other adults that an 18-year-old girl could accomplish such a big project . Still, Doyne never gave up on fund raising. In just over a year, she had enough money to build her dream home.
Seeing the finished project was emotional for Doyne. "It doesn't feel real sometimes," she says. "Even moments when all the kids are sitting at the table for breakfast, or they're happy and all dancing . . . it's the best feeling in the world."
The Best of the Best
Each year, Do Something presents five of the most outstanding youth leaders in the world with $10,000 for their service work. The public then votes on which of those five winners should receive the $100,000 grand prize.
Doyne and the four other finalists were honored on Thursday night at the historic Apollo Theater in New York City. High School Musical's Corbin Bleu hosted the special event. There were performances by pop/rock group Boys Like Girls and Akon. The rapper's Konfidence Foundation works with underprivileged youth in Africa.
R&B star Usher Raymond received the Do Something Celebs Gone Good civic leader award for his charity, Usher's New Look. The organization helps disadvantaged kids from tough neighborhoods get the skills they need to be successful, whether they want to be music moguls or marketing experts. "Service is raw energy," Raymond said in his acceptance speech. "When you put it in the hands of youth, it becomes power. You can make a difference no matter what age you are."
Finally, it was time for the biggest award of the night. The audience hushed as VH1 President Tom Calderone announced the Do Something grand-prize winner. Doyne ran across the stage and jumped into Calderone's arms. In a tearful speech, Doyne dedicated the award to a young girl that lived in the home who recently passed away from cancer. She also revealed plans to build a school and community center with the grant money she had just won.
"Sometimes making somebody's dream come true is a "yes" away," Doyne told the crowd. "This all started as a "yes" from my mom and dad, who let me backpack around the world. We all have the ability to say yes to somebody and make their dreams come true."
The Power of Youth
Actor Andrew Shue and his childhood friend Michael Sanchez founded the Do Something organization in 1993. Their dream was to create an online community that would inspire, support and celebrate teenagers who wanted to make change. These youths would see the problems in the world, believe that they could solve them and then take action. Do Something would provide the tools and resources to help make it happen.
Sixteen years later, Shue and Sanchez's vision has empowered millions of young people to get involved in their communities. The organization works with more than 500 school clubs across the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. The groups tackle all kinds of causes, including human rights issues, poverty, bullying and education.

I was listening to Linda M. Howe on C2C last night (C2C is not an authoritative voice) somethin along the lines that the Almond growers had lobbied to get bees from Argentina brought in in coming seasons for the Almonds. Does anyone hauling in there and working with those growers know if this is true? Just from an initial look at this idea, if it is true, seems to be extremely unwise if for no other reason than to allow some new and exotic pathogens in. Is there any solid reason why bees from Argentina would fair better against your CCD than domestic and down-under stock has done?
I hope this is not how it is.

Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
Since '09-75H-T-Z6b
The best fence I have ever used is on my late father's 1930's Wallace table saw. It has angular adjustment like most, and when clamped, a dial for fine adjustment.
Crazy Roland
Wish I had this when I bought my saw last year. You are right on the lenght for the dado. Mine wont cut th7/8 board width. I have to cut the board vertically which scares me. As boards don't run true and kickback can occur. I also have an issue with the gear that raises the blade. Its plastic and wont raise without tension( I use a big c clamp to pull upward) I think its gummed up with sap and sawdust. But I am trying to clean it. That's just my thought
I have a Ridgid 4512 and have absolutely no complaints. I also used to run a 6" stacked dado set because it's not so hard on the machine. I bought an old radial arm saw that runs my 8" stacked dado set that I use to machine all my top bars and to make rabbets on my boxes (don't use box joints). All my table saw does now is rip and make frame rests.

I put a Vega fence on my old (1960s) craftsman contractors saw. I could have purchased a cheap saw for the price of the fence. It was well worth the price. I daresay that many folks spend twice as much for a new saw with a decent fence (the extruded aluminium tubes make them more common on cheaper saws than they used to be) that is never 'n the kind of alignment that ive got this chunk of cast iron in.
The PALS are essential for these kinds of contractor saws...the way you align the blade without them involves guessing where the alignment will end up when you tighten the bolts aligning the trunion.
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
I have a ridgid 4510 and it is great. Made 100's of hive with it. The arbor is long enough for a 3/4 stacked dado. Fence is very accurate with no fussing need. Only thing that is sketchy is the riving knife. I took it off becuase it always came out of alignment with the blade.
Check out our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pearlcityapiary
Well, I have been watching Craigslist for a while now for a saw, but that SawStop video scared the crap out of me. Maybe I'll wait a little longer!
I have limited space in my basement so for bee equipment I chop to length oversize first and then rip and square the ends to length.

Students at UTSA Downtown Campus
Board of Regents approves UT System tuition rates
(March 14, 2005)--The UT System Board of Regents on Thursday, March 10 approved tuition and fee rates for fall 2005 after reviewing campus proposals submitted to the UT System.
UT campuses were instructed last fall to keep tuition and fee increases at approximately 5 percent or less, barring exceptional circumstances and need. The majority of tuition and fee increases approved by the board, including statutory tuition, designated tuition and mandatory fees, were at or below 5 percent for full-time resident undergraduate students.

Article tools
UT Brownsville and UT Pan American increased tuition and fees 12.8 percent and 10.3 percent, respectively. These two institutions were below the previous state maximum for designated tuition. Two other academic institution proposals -- UT Arlington and UT Dallas -- are still under review and will be considered by the board at a later date.
The campus tuition proposals approved by the board, along with analyses conducted by the UT System, are posted on the UT System tuition Web site and are available for viewing or downloading. The site includes details about the process that the UT System and its campuses use to set tuition, information about financial aid and many other features.
"The board has looked closely at these tuition increases before approving them," said James R. Huffines, chairman of the Board of Regents. "We have a lot of confidence that the UT System and its institutions have created thoughtful, in-depth tuition programs that address higher education's broad priorities and the needs of the public. I am very grateful to the presidents and to the campus student leaders for their hard work and involvement in developing these proposals presented today to the regents. The broad support for tuition proposals was evident in all of the presentations and feedback that we have seen on this very inclusive process."
Huffines cited several key priorities that are incorporated in the tuition and fee plans approved by the board:
- Keeping a UT education affordable
- Developing tuition proposals in full consultation with students, faculty and other constituencies
- Making sure that all students with financial needs receive appropriate aid
- Meeting the needs of a diverse and rapidly growing student population and assisting the state in achieving its goals for increased college enrollment and timely graduation rates
- Operating a tuition system that passes the most demanding tests of accountability and transparency
- Using creative incentives to help students save money and help institutions achieve their strategic goals.
"It's vital to the UT System that students won't lose the opportunity for a good education because of financial need," said Huffines. "At the same time, we have to ensure we're offering all our students the highest possible caliber of education."
In making his recommendations to the board, Chancellor Mark G. Yudof said, "We have worked diligently to keep tuition increases at a minimum consistent with maintaining high educational standards and current services for our students. The process has been difficult because our campuses have been dealing for years with rapid student enrollment growth without a corresponding increase in funding from state government. As a consequence, even though state funding has been relatively stable, the amount of state funding per full-time student has actually decreased substantially -- by an average of almost 14 percent since the 2002 biennium. There is a limit to how much more we can do with this much less."
"We are working with the state's leadership and the Legislature to find solutions for the continuing challenge of developing adequate resources to pay for growth," Yudof said. "This issue is of profound importance since higher education in Texas is expected to absorb 600,000 new students by 2015 to achieve the state's objectives in Closing the Gaps in college attendance and graduation."
The regents approved plans that include setting aside at least 20 percent of new tuition revenues for financial aid programs, as well as a variety of ways that students can take advantage of special discounts in tuition rates. Institutions are committed to providing additional funds to meet students' needs.
UT campuses will use the additional tuition revenues to enhance academic programs and student services, such as hiring additional faculty and advisers, reducing class sizes and making repairs and renovations to campus buildings.
The plans approved also include a variety of incentives to encourage students to graduate on time by taking more semester credit hours per semester.
Increasing the graduation rate -- by using such incentives as flat rate tuition -- and shortening the time that students take to earn a degree will serve several purposes. It will allow institutions to admit more new students with current facilities and resources because older students will be leaving on time. It will also save students and their families significant amounts of money by cutting total student living expenses and speeding up the entry of graduates into the professional labor market.
The UT System has 15 campuses, including nine academic and six health institutions, and an annual operating budget of $8.5 billion (FY 2005). Student enrollment exceeded 182,000 in the 2004 academic year. The UT System confers one-third of the state's undergraduate degrees and educates three-fourths of the state's health care professionals annually. With more than 76,000 employees, the UT System is one of the largest employers in Texas.

AJ Smith Has 5 Questions And I Have 5 Answers For Him
In a recent interview with Nick Canepa of the San Diego Union-Tribune, San Diego Chargers GM AJ Smith expressed his extreme disappointment and embarrassment over the way the Chargers have performed this season. Smith puts the blame squarely on his own shoulders, and identifies a set of five questions he'll ask himself as the 2008 comes to an end. I'll do my best to address his questions as best as I can, and I ask all of you to contribute to this post by sharing your thoughts as well:
"1. What happened between 2007 and 2008?"
Well a number of things happened:
Defensively, losing Shawne Merriman had a tremendously negative impact on the team. With Merriman out for the entire season, guys who previously came in situationally were now being counted on to play on the base defense. Not only was Merriman a tremendous pass rusher, he was also a dominant run stopper. Without Merriman, guys had to step in and at times were playing out of position. While they still could generate decent pressure on the passer, there was a significant drop off in run defense. For example, I am very high on the future of Jyles Tucker, but he is a guy who could certainly have benefited from developing another year in a situational role.
On the back end of the defense, we didn't see the improvement we were expecting from what was essentially the same core group of guys. Marlon McCree was a veteran leader last year, and losing him might have had a negative impact on the young group, not only from a mentorship standpoint but also from mental and schematic standpoint. McCree was well versed in coverages and did an excellent job lining his guys up. Eric Weddle is a first year starter and has made some big plays but also some costly mistakes. Antonio Cromartie is also in his first full year as a starter and he has struggled with nagging injuries, leading to what some have called "confidence issues." As Cromartie improves as a tackler, it is important to have a hard-hitting safety (valve) to clean up his leftovers. On the bright side, Antoine Cason has performed at a high level as the third cornerback and there has been no drop off in losing Drayton Florence. As far as coaching is concerned, promoting Ron Rivera was absolutely the right move and I would not dismiss him as a possible candidate for the head coaching job here in San Diego.
On the offensive side of the ball, Norv Turner has made it clear in his second year as the head coach that he is changing the offensive philosophy of the team. His first year as head coach, he preached "continuity." But just a year later the offense is almost recognizable. Chris Chambers was brought to San Diego to help the team win a championship. Antonio Gates and Ladainian Tomlinson were supposed to be the best players at their position. The Chargers offense was supposed to be unstoppable; no team in the league was going to be able to contain such playmakers. It turns out the team that rendered such high profile and productive players relatively useless were largely the San Diego Chargers themselves.
2. "What's happened to the defense on third-down conversions? It seems automatic for the offenses now. It's been much too easy. They're dangerous, because they can break your spirit."
Everyone looked at the Chargers and said "this team needs to generate more pressure on the QB." Well, there's a difference between pressure and sacks. If an NFL Quarterback cannot deal with pressure, then they shouldn't be on the field. Pressure isn't good enough. The defense needs to get sacks. Negative plays. Pressure was never the problem with this defense. Guys were close to getting sacks way too often. What the failed to do was to actually sack the QB.
3. "The offensive line. We lack a running game. This is a deficiency. If we don't fix the running game and stop the passing assaults on third down, a championship will not be coming to San Diego any time soon."
The Chargers are now a passing team and no longer play the physical brand of football that was a hallmark of Marty Schottenheimer. The offensive line are not allowed to get into a grove running the ball and with opposing defensive lines going relatively unpunished throughout the game, the Chargers have a had time controlling the line of scrimmage. All season long, teams have dictated what the Chargers can do offensively. The Chargers have struggled to start fast – they do not play sixty minutes of football with a fourth quarter intensity. Instead of taking control of a game early, the San Diego Chargers offense is constantly trying to play catch-up, completely throwing off any sort of offensive rhythm.
4. "Is our talent base overrated, or is it just an off year for them? Are some of the players starting to decline?"
This is an interesting question because physical talent is worthless without the drive and passion to perform. I think we should be asking if the talent base is responding to the coaching. Are these guys giving 100% on each play? Is the locker room dividing? Are the players buying into the team's philosophy and playing together? Are there individuals on the team going through the motions?
I certainly feel that this team has weakness at certain positions. Heading into the 2008 NFL season, I identified the Chargers top four draft needs.
1. Defensive Tackle
2. Offensive Tackle
3. Running Back
4. Strong Safety
The interesting thing is that these four positions are still need-areas heading into offseason. Outside of Jamal Williams' return to dominance, the Chargers defensive line has not generated plays. The team signed Ian Scott and activated Keith Grennan on a few occasions because they needed the depth. The defensive line has probably seen more individuals rotating in and out than any other position on the team. Drafting a top defensive linemen could have helped in this area and possibly provided more big plays.
Offensive Tackle/Offensive Guard will continue to be an area of improvement. The Chargers offensive line is not dominant and has not dominated the line of scrimmage like in years past. Tomlinson is having the worst season of his career. Certainly the team needs to bring in another offensive lineman, and while they did draft Corey Clark late, he bounced around from the active roster to the practice squad and back.
Running Back; it was a glaring need heading into this season, and it remains a position under intense scrutiny. Is Jacob Hester the heir apparent to Ladainian Tomlinson? Will he be at least what Michael Turner was to this team? Is he going to play fullback or not? Why was Marcus Thomas drafted only to be cut? The team obviously thought enough of the guy to draft him, so why couldn't he stick around? Did he not fit in schematically? Didn't the front office already know that there wasn't going to be a place for him on the roster?
I thought it was obvious that the strong safety needed a serious upgrade, especially considering Antonio Cromartie isn't a very good tackler. And for some reason people are just now noticing that opposing Tight Ends are shredding our defense. I pointed this out two years ago! Wanna beat the Chargers? Attack the Safeties. I've been very critical of the Chargers revolving door at safety over the years. It's time we got a playmaker at the position; something we haven't had since Rodney Harrison.
5. "When a losing period enters a football team, how do the players react? Do they split away and divide the team? They're easy to find."
The answer to this question remains to be seen. The Chargers need to find reasons to keep playing hard, not the least of which should be to win for the fans.
"I have three months to ask myself these questions and answer them," he said. "Now is the most dangerous time to evaluate. I don't want to go down the list and say, 'Out! Out! Out! Out!'
"I'll take it all on my shoulders. I'm judged on a week-to-week basis. This business is about winning championships. That's it. I think we're a playoff-caliber team that did not play playoff-caliber football." - AJ SMITH
San Diego Union-Tribune: 'It's very, very difficult, very, very painful,' says GM Smith

If Norv loses to the Raiders I don't see how they can justify keeping the guy. Wonder if the players will lose the game on purpose to try to get Turner fired.
- Joe Fiorentino said... Dec 3, 2008, 12:38:00 PM
Ridiculous comment...
Anyway, I think you hit all the points Rob. Though I would move RB to the top of the draft list. Unfortunately it looks like the RB selections this year for the first round look pretty thin. However, first round OT's are huge this year.
As far as current personnel, D-wise I think Weddle, Hart, Wilhelm and even Cromartie are on watch. Offensively, Clary, Tolbert, Davis and Chambers are all on watch. I don't think LT is happy with Tolbert, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Hester in there the rest of the way. Floyd has shown he can be a starter and can replace Chambers as a solid #2.
A.J.'s got his work cut out for him.
- Rob Zepeda said... Dec 3, 2008, 7:02:00 PM
Joe, I'm high on Chambers and Jackson. I think it would be a mistake to not try to keep Chambers around...the team benefits from his veteran leadership. Jackson started playing football late in his life and didn't play D-1 football. He's still learning. I've always been high on Floyd, I've been a fan of his for years now. I think Davis is on major watch though. I'd think about trading trade him if I were AJ, but what can you get for him at this point? I've always liked Chambers though, and I think it's a shame he isn't involved in the offense (or is Rivers just not getting him the ball?) as much this year.
- Joe Fiorentino said... Dec 4, 2008, 12:24:00 PM
I dunno Rob, 26 catches for 356 yds isnt getting it done. While Rivers has had issues, he's still having a pretty darn good year with an avg passer rating of 100.5.
I'd rather see Floyd in there full time, with Chambers in on 3 wr sets.
- arnie said... Dec 6, 2008, 5:06:00 PM
why does it have to be one or the other? the chargers should keep all three, lose Davis. you still have Gates, LT, and Nanee. the chargers have put themselves in a hole by letting verterain leadership walk. Cahmbers plays a big role, not only cna he create seperation, put he made the entire recieveing core better. he may not "be the man", but he's key to our recieving sucess.
we're a better team with all three.
peace out
The problem with the Chargers is AJ Smith draft decisions; I think he should have been let go instead of Marty. Supposedly, he is a great evaluator of talent but the last two drafts have been a disaster. Buster is a bust, Weddle is slow and the chargers pay to much to get him. Hester is also slow and will not replace Turner or Lorenzo Neal plus the chargers also gave up too much for him.
The only player that is worth the draft grade is Cason. I almost forgot AJ drafted Waters who got drafted in the third round despite having a knee injury, was cut because he was not developing fast enough. I think they should have kept Waters for another year and released Wilhelm.

As a newbe here on this group, I will tell you a bit about myself. I live on a small farm in central Illinois, where I breed, train and show Miniature Horses, I have some Cochin Bantams, Araucanas, Dutch rabbits, a (BLM) real wild Mustang horse that was captured in Colorado, lots of rescued kitties and of course my 'bees'. I am always on the watch for more bees! I do swarm removals in my area as well. I also grow fresh produce to sell here on my farm.
This is a great site and I really enjoy reading through all of the posts! I am very interested in building/making a bee vaccuum in the near future.
Thank you,

Great location with lots of cafes, pubs, restaurants, clubs and easy public transport.
The apartment is located in the famous district of Kreuzberg. While Berlin was divided, this neighborhood was a border area of West Berlin, where the rents were low enough to attract artists, dropouts and immigrants. For this reason, Kreuzberg has been known ever since for its multicultural flair and alternative subculture. After the Fall of the Wall Kreuzberg is now situated in the center of the reunited city.
Night owls can enjoy the legendary `Kreuzberg nights' especially in the area around Mehringdamm, Bergmannstraße and in the Oranienstraße. In Kreuzberg you will find clubs like 'SO36', 'Watergate' or 'SchwuZ': this area has something to suit everyone's taste.
The Görlitzer Park is a beloved summer meeting place for young people. It is just around the corner.
If you want to chill out, the 'Victoriapark' is a popular relaxation area in the western part of the district. Here you will find the eponymous Kreuzberg Hill, from where you can enjoy a fantastic view. During the summer, an artificial stream flows down from the top in the form of a waterfall.
Kreuzberg is well connected to the neighboring districts through the U-Bahn lines U1, U2, U6, U7 and U8, and the S-Bahn lines S41 and S42 (circle line). U1 and U8 are within walking distance.
House rulesThe front house and the first rear building are ordinary Berliner houses.
The neighbors are very happy when it's quiet in the yard from 22 clock.
Smoking is not allowed in the guesthouse. You can smoke in the backyard.
Wifi is free. PLEASE NOTE: Germany is very strict chasing people who download content illegally and apply heavy fines. Please don't! We would like to keep the internet open for our guests.

Reviews of this property
We had a nice stay in Kreuzberg. The host was very friendly and gave us some good tips about what to see and where to get delicious food. If you are looking for something cheap, simple and clean this is a good alternative!
The room was ok. Just like we expected, basic and everything we needed to sleep and stay during our trip to Berlin. The room has just four beds (two double beds) and a table with four chairs (exactly like the pictures).
We shared the bathroom with two other guests and that was fine. Didn't have to wait to take a shower for too long. Bathroom was fine as well, but small. Everything you need (like toilet and shower) is provided.
The price was right for the room we booked and I would definitely book the room again if we travel to Berlin.
The location is totally fine, just two minutes walk to Görlitzer Bahnhof where you can take the U1. The neighborhood is fine, but not that safe. Be aware and try to walk together over there. We knew this before, so we were aware of the situation.
The help of Ivos is good, but we didn't need any further tips, because I've lived in Berlin before. He was very helpful though. If you are planning a trip to Berlin and are not willing to stay in your room all day, this room is a very good option. We were there to sleep and take a shower only, so totally fine! We had a nice time in Berlin! Thanks Ivos!
We had 3 nights at the Vienna road. The beds and rooms were clean, right in front of the door there are many options for dining and drinking. The bathroom is a bit long in the tooth and probably already failed the air longer. Accordingly, a musty bathroom. The price for 3 nights, however, was unbeatable.
Wir hatten 3 Übernachtungen in der Wiener Straße. Die Betten und Zimmer waren sauber, direkt vor der Türe findet man viele Möglichkeiten zum Essen und Trinken. Das Badezimmer ist leider etwas in die Jahre gekommen und die Lüftung wohl schon länger ausgefallen. Dementsprechend ein muffiges Bad. Der Preis für 3 Übernachtungen war allerdings unschlagbar.
Really enjoyed my stay, highly recommended. Will definitely be coming back again soon. Thanks Ivos!
We had a great time in this apartment : the room was pleasant and quiet, the location excellent, and the neighborhood altogether charming. With Ivos' office just next door it was very easy to ask for any information. Thank you for a lovely stay !
nice place.
near to the U1 metro line (exit Görlitzer Bahnhof) that connects the entire City.
the info office very kind and available for help everyday (sunday excluded).
good job!
We had a really nice time in this place! The appartment was perfect! Clean, in a good location... Nothing bad to say about it!
Very nice, open host, clean rooms in a quiet rear house. Only 2min walk to the subway and a great restaurant with delicious, affordable food and drinkable cocktails at the beginning of the road! We felt very comfortable and happy to be back!
Sehr nette, offene Gastgeber, saubere Zimmer in ruhigem Hinterhaus. Nur 2min Fußweg zur U-Bahn und ein tolles Restaurant mit leckerem, günstigen Essen und süffigen Cocktails am Anfang der Straße! Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder!!
All good. Thank you.
Alles gut. Dankeschön.

text: I just bought this 93 Sonoma V6 today, and when the vehicle is running I tried to spin the a/c clutch and its not moving, and if I turn the a/c on, immediately loud squeaking and looks to be like the pulley had stopped( but A/C pulley spins fine when a/c is off) so I immediately shut the a/c off so the belt wouldn't break. I tried searching but seem to not find my exact problem but would this be a pulley bearing problem, clutch bearings or?? Hoping its not the compressor itself cause it still has not been converted to updated fittings and I dont have a evacuation tool to vac out the system to change out the compressor and that seems to be too costly for a 93 Sonoma, but I live in Florida so a/c is a need right now. Please if you have experience with this certain issue than please reply only. thanks in advance!!!

- Interactive Shell Nuances
- Long Term Storage Commands Available
- Faculty Camp 2006, July 31 - August 18
- Quick Tip
Interactive Shell Nuances
Over the past few years, I've heard a lot of questions about shells. Many of these questions have to do with the interactive use of the shell (i.e. at the command line). Here are some of the more common things that I've been asked and questions that people would ask if they knew to ask.
Flow-Control Characters:
tcsh, bash
Not so long ago I found myself typing away when my shell mysteriously "locked up". When I typed in the terminal nothing appeared on the screen. My other connections to the system were all responding so I knew something was up.solution:
The culprit in this case was flow-control characters. You see, I had mistakenly typed
, which stops the flow of output to the terminal and makes it look like your shell has hung. You can undo the operation by typing
Or better yet, if you decide that Ctrl+S and Ctrl+Q are an annoyance rather than a useful feature, you can disable both using the stty command.E.g.
stty -ixon
If you really want to turn the flow-control characters back on for some reason, issue:
stty ixon
See "man stty" for other options.
time command
tcsh, csh
When running
on a command from a csh or tcsh shell, the output looks different than the output I get with bash or ksh.
In csh and tcsh
is a built-in shell command.
> which time time: shell built-in command.
As with aliases, built-in commands are preferred over executables in the PATH.
To use the
executable rather than the shell built-in command run:
#uses time from PATH iceberg1 % \time ./executableor
#specify the full path to the time command iceberg1 % /usr/bin/time ./executableinstead of
#uses built-in time command iceberg1 % time ./executable
Here's another example showing the output of
with and without the
command escaped.
iceberg1 % echo $0 tcsh iceberg1 % which \time /usr/bin/time iceberg1 % which time time: shell built-in command.
Ignoring an alias
bash, ksh, csh, tcsh
Aliases can be quite convenient, but occasionally I find that they get in the way. Is there a way to ignore an alias without unaliasing it?solution:
Assume the following ls alias is set:
#ksh/bash syntax alias ls="ls --color" #csh/tcsh syntax alias ls "ls --color"
As with the shell built-in commands, you can override aliases by escaping the command.
#uses the alias nelchina % ls #ignores the alias nelchina % \ls
logout on EOF
bash, ksh, csh, tcsh
Okay, I may not be the most gracefully typist in the world, but do I really deserve to get logged off a system for a simple typing mistake? I pressed Ctrl+D and it logged me out!solution:
In bash and ksh you can tell the shell to ignore EOF (i.e. Ctrl+D ) for logout by issuing the following:
set -o ignoreeof
In csh and tcsh the variable is named the same, but is set in a slightly different way:
set ignoreeof
Command History
Does korn shell have command history, I'm trying the arrow keys and they don't do anything?solution:
If you are using the vi bindings, you can access command history by pressing
then 'j' (down) or 'k' (up)
Setting Vi Bindings
bash, tcsh
If you like to use vi bindings for your shell, you're in luck, both tcsh and bash support the vi and emacs binds.solution:
In bash, you can switch to vi bindings by issuing:
set -o vi
Or switch to emacs binding using:
set -o emacs
In tcsh, the bindkey shell built-in command allows one to switch between binding types
To use vi bindings:
bindkey -vTo use emacs bindings:
bindkey -e
Long Term Storage Commands Available
ARSC has two SunFire 6800 servers (seawolf and nanook) which house data stored on the long term storage filesystem ($ARCHIVE). Files on the $ARCHIVE filesystem can be either online or offline. When a file is online it is stored on disk, while offline files are stored only on tape. If you attempt to access a file which is offline, the storage server will automatically bring the file back online from tape. While this operation is done automatically, it can be less than optimal when attempting to retrieve large numbers of files from tape.
In the past, the best way to improve retrieval of offline files was to log directly on to one of the storage servers and issue a "stage" command on the offline files. To improve access to offline files, a select set of long term storage commands are now available on klondike, iceberg, and iceflyer. These commands do not require a kerberos ticket, so they are suitable for use in pre/post processing scripts.
The commands are:
SAM ls, which can show whether or not a file in $ARCHIVE is offline.E.g.
iceberg1 1% sls -2 /archive/u1/uaf/username/myfile.tar.gz -rwx------ 1 username mygroup 773486674 Jun 15 2005 /archive/u1/uaf/username/myfile.tar.gz O-------- guv-- -- -- sg sf iceberg1 2% sls -D /archive/u1/uaf/username/myfile.tar.gz /archive/u1/uaf/username/myfile.tar.gz: mode: -rwx------ links: 1 owner: username group: mygroup length: 773486674 admin id: 0 inode: 5070982.1 offline; archdone; copy 1: ---- Jan 15 06:52 1bc44.3615d sg 501092 copy 2: ---- Jun 15 2005 66596.1 sf 450190 access: Oct 20 11:23 modification: Jun 15 2005 changed: Jun 15 2005 attributes: Jun 15 2005 creation: Jun 15 2005 residence: Feb 15 11:38 checksum: gen use val algo: 1
Requests that an offline file be brought online (i.e. on to disk).E.g.
#bring an offline file back online. The "-w" flag makes stage wait #until the file is back online before returning. iceberg1 3% stage -w $ARCHIVE/myfile
Removes an online file from disk leaving only tape copies.E.g.
# iceberg1 4% release $ARCHIVE/myfile
Brings a set of files online. Files are staged in the order they are written on tape. This minimizes tape seeks and changes and typically reduces the amount of time it takes to bring a file back online.E.g.
#stage all netcdf files in a directory tree iceberg1 5% batch_stage `find $ARCHIVE/somedirectory/ -name \*.nc` #alternate version reading file names from stdin. iceberg1 6% find $ARCHIVE/somedirectory/ -name \*.nc batch_stage -i
Additional documentation for sls, stage and release is available by adding the "--help" flag.
NOTE: these commands are valid for files in the $ARCHIVE filesystem only.
For more information on SAM commands see:> http://www.arsc.edu/support/howtos/storage.html
Faculty Camp 2006, July 31 - August 18
Need your programs to run faster?
Overwhelmed by the quantity of your data and frustrated searching through it?
Tired of using flat graphs and contour plots to explain your discoveries?
Want to see your data visualized in 3D?
Learn how to tackle these issues and more at ARSC Faculty Camp University of Alaska Fairbanks
The three-week Faculty Camp, beginning Monday, July 31st, encompasses the necessary survival skills for High Performance Computing (HPC). Topics include, but are not limited to, Unix basics, batch processing, scripting, parallel programming concepts and techniques, and basic familiarization with various visualization packages. More advanced topics will be covered as attendees request them.
A series of seminars and hands-on experiences, presented by ARSC staff, UAF/ARSC Joint Faculty and current users, provide participants with assistance and expertise while they focus on independent work and self-guided study for individual projects.
This year's faculty camp will again include sessions from Angelo Rossi, a former employee of the Advanced Computing Technology Center at IBM who now teaches computational chemistry at York College of the City University of New York. He will be providing IBM hardware, software, and tools lectures as well as his expertise in computational chemistry.
Those interested are invited to submit a short, 250-word description of the skills you want to develop and the project you intend to pursue. This will assist ARSC in organizing events and speakers to address the specific needs of the attendees. Abstracts should be submitted to Tom Logan (logan (at) arsc.edu).
Please submit your text in ASCII or pdf format no later than May 17.
Successful applicants will be notified by May 26. Those accepted are expected to participate full-time during the three weeks of Faculty Camp. UA researchers will be compensated at their regular salary.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I want to "diff" two files. The catch: one of them is on a remote [[ system. Is there an alternative to "scp'ing" or "ftp'ing" the [[ remote file to my local system and doing the diff there? # # Thanks to Derek Bastille: # In ksh, a simple option is to use ssh. Here is an example with test1 on my local system: $ cat test1 This is line 1 This is not line 1 and test1 on iceberg: $ cat test1 This is line 1 This is line 2 Comparing: $ (ssh iceberg /bin/cat /u1/uaf/bastille/test1 2> /dev/null) diff - ~/test1 2,3c2 < This is line 2 < --- This is not line 1 Note: The full path is required since my local $HOME differs from the remote $HOME. The "-" (i.e., stdin) can be either the first or second file passed to diff. # # From the _other_ editor (Don't drive like HE does!): # Since diff expects a file, we can simply cat the file we want to look at on the remote machine then pipe the output to diff, substituting "/dev/stdin" for one of the file names expected by diff. This doesn't work on AIX, IRIX, or UNICOS/mp (since they don't have /dev/stdin), but on a Solaris, BSD, OSX, or Linux system you're set... and you'll probably find other ways to use /dev/stdin: $ ssh machine cat ~/test.it2 diff /dev/stdin test.it 1c1 < Who --- Q: I'm new to C programming and just discovered that you can't nest comments. So the following isn't legal: /* comment A /* comment B */ */ Is there a way to comment out part of my code without getting rid of the existing comments or having to add an absurd number of C style comments? Say I want to comment out the second two printf statements in the code below without losing the existing comments. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() { int a; a=100; printf("%-8s = %d\n","a",a); /* print out a */ printf("%-8s = %d\n","a*a",a*a); /* print out a*a */ printf("%-8s = %d\n","a*a*a",a*a*a); /* print out a*a*a */ }

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
That sounds sooo good. I am going to try it and also send it to my daughter who has lost 50 pounds on WW.
[QUOTE=QuiltE;5787963]ooooh ... how about chocolate cake and cherries, for a black forest twist!
MimiBug ... when you used apple pie filling, did you still use the soda? and same amounts?
I seem to recall a pie filling cobbler with the cake mix, but that you poured melted butter over top.
I have used the melted butter and the soda, just not at the same time. You just put the can of pie filling into a 9 x 13 baking dish, sprinkle the dry cake mix over it, and pour a stick of melted butter over it. One of our favorites is blackberry pie filling with french vanilla cake mix. It is lucious. The combinations of this are limited. Serve it up with cool whip or ice cream and your guests will think you spent all afternoon in the kitchen! Oh, another goody is cherry pie filling, chocolate cake mix, with coke poured over it. Yummy!
These all sound good. I will have to try them. Thanks for the recipes.
Another Phyllis
This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
Mimibug are you thinking of what I call a dump cake? YOu dump a can of crushed pineapple in a 13x9 pan. Then you dump in a can of pie filling ( blueberry is our favorite) then you dump a dry yellow cake mix on that. I just thinly slice up a stick of butter and dot it on top. Sometimes I add nuts and bake.
This sounds good--I want to try it out. In the other recipe that you poured butter over top, somehow the mix never really got cover so you tasted some of the powdery cake mix. Pouring the Sprite over top should take care of that problem. Will try this.
I love this formula - thanks for telling me of it! I remember a dieters innovator providing this one out. Preferences really great with freezing peach masks. Even tried it with orange dessert mix and freezing combined fruit. Yum!
My dear Quilters, you can use and mix just about any fruits, remember mixed fruit cocktail in the can or frozen one! Pies or cobblers!
Hummmm. Never thought to use fruit cocktail. But, that is something to think about. Might just give it a whirl!
Be the best that you can be at everything you do.

Anna Quilts
Thank you for hosting again Owl vamp. I just signed up for 6 sets.
I was in another swap and I hate to complain, but several of the charms I received were just calico prints.
I think frizzymama did a great job choosing designs that are recognizable to children and are "fussy cut" so the design is easy to identify. I received a flamingo with the head cut off before so I am hoping for a better experience this time.
I don't want to brag but I can still fit into the earrings I wore in high school.
OK I cut 6 sets and 6 twists. Everything is packaged and ready to go. I pm-ed owlvamp but I found her addy still from the owl block swap.

New Journal of Law in Society focuses on voter representation, prviatization and regionalism
August 23, 2012
DETROIT— The Journal of Law in Society, in partnership with the Wayne State University Law School Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights, has released Volume 13, No. 1: A Focused Discussion on Governance. This volume provides a compilation of commentary on the role of governance in everyday life in Detroit and ideals for effective interaction between government and the governed.
The articles address problems of voter representation, privatization, and regionalism. They point out failing models, success stories, and areas ripe for development.
The Journal of Law in Society seeks to establish stronger ties between Wayne State Law School and the great Detroit community.
"The journal's relationship with the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights is a great fit," says former Editor-in-Chief Chelsea Zuzindlak, who supervised the compilation. "Together we look forward to pursuing our goals of raising local and national visibility of cutting-edge scholarship – much of which was produced right here in Detroit."
Professor Peter Hammer, director of the Keith Center and faculty advisor to the Journal, says, "These important issues do not receive adequate attention in the mainstream media. It is the responsibility of the Keith Center and the Journal to serve as a forum where a more thoughtful discussion of these social issues can take place from a rights-based perspective."
The issue is online at http://law.wayne.edu/journal-of-law-society/current.php. For more information regarding The Journal of Law in Society, including contributors and upcoming issues, please visit http://law.wayne.edu/journal-of-law-society/.

Protecting Forests
Join the movement for a zero deforestation future
Forests are crucial for the health and well-being of people, wildlife, and our planet. They're home to roughly two-thirds of all land-dwelling plant and animal species, critical lifelines for communities big and small, and one of the last lines of defense against catastrophic climate change.
A giant logging corporation wants to sue Greenpeace out of existence
Decades of exploitation have destroyed and degraded much of the Earth's natural forests. In fact, we've already lost half of global forest land. Losing these vital ecosystems is displacing communities, threatening the habitats of rare and endangered species, and spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. To avoid further consequences, we urgently need to protect what is left.
The good news is that solutions to deforestation exist. Together, we have the power to save our forests.
Why Fight for Forests?
We fight for forests because life as we know it simply could not continue without them.
Around 1.6 billion people worldwide rely on forests for food and economic means. Deforestation can have devastating impacts for the indigenous peoples and forest-dependent communities that have traditionally stewarded these lands. Beyond the borders of the forest, we all rely on forests for things like clean water, timber, medicines, and products we use every day.
Similarly, forests are home to an incredible diversity of plant and animal life whose habits are under threat from deforestation. For instance, one in ten species on Earth known to humans is only found in the Amazon rainforest.
Finally, the fight for forests is fundamentally tied to another critical global challenge: global warming. In fact, forest loss is actual a double-edged sword when it comes to our changing climate. Deforestation contributes as much as 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions every year, while intact forests can actually absorb carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Fighting for a Deforestation-Free Future
Greenpeace is campaigning for a future that will allow our forests to thrive. We envision a world where our forests sustain local communities and economies, are filled with unique wildlife, and keep our air clean and pollution-free.
Does that sound like a world you want to live in? Great! Learn more about the ways we're fighting to protect forests around the world and how you can get involved.

Compassion lacking in minimum wage debate
With reference to the racial divide in the quality of life between white and Latino county residents:
I prefer Katherine Beiers' "Closing remarks" on her concern for all "including the most vulnerable among us, who don't share in our fortune, who struggle..." to Sunday's editorial on minimum wage and the concern for employers and the unemployment rate among some few younger people. How about the majority of vulnerable people in Watsonville and Santa Cruz who struggle to survive with an annual income of $15,000 or even $19,000, if the minimum wage were raised a buck and a quarter? Could you manage on that? Where is your compassion?
Elias Alonzo, Watsonville
Many small businesses offer health insurance
For Penny Ice Creamery to make front-page news just because they're now offering health insurance to their employees is ridiculous! How many other businesses have made health insurance available to their employees, but not felt the need to brag? Penny Ice Creamery isn't the first company to give their employees health insurance, and they won't be the last! Definitely not front-page newsworthy. All the businesses who offer insurance without needing to brag are businesses I commend. They offer insurance because they can, not because it makes them look good!
William Anguiano, Santa Cruz
The best use of our civil servants?
Did anyone else notice the online Sentinel photo showing the car being pulled from the pond in San Jose? I counted at least 30 highly paid "civil servants" standing on the bank. People, the car is empty, there is nothing to see. The woman was pulled from the car and taken to the hospital. Is this how our tax dollars are spent? Incredible! Everyone in the photo, excluding the tow truck driver, earns a yearly salary of more than $90,000. Do we need a special police force policing our civil servants? Maybe this is one reason why our cities are going broke.
I was told, 40 years ago, as a 17-year-old apprentice carpenter, you never, never stand around on a job site doing nothing. There is always something to do. We don't pay you to stand around! Maybe, this good advice could be passed on to our "highly paid" civil servants.
John Pianavilla, Santa Cruz

Two Minute Stories
Memory keepers
These alumnae from 1963 came from around the country, spent two years in "O'D" and two more in a house on Highland Boulevard.
But their friendship is lasting a lifetime.
Five reconnected at Alumni Reunion Weekend 2013, the last stop of many reunions beginning in 1987 and continuing every three to four years to the present. They've enjoyed whitewater rafting, biking on the beach, trekking through ruins and touring national and historic places.
They cherish every memory made and hope to make more, according to Becky Becker Stacy, Arts '64.
Marquette Magazine congratulates Stacy, Diane Deneen Spanier, Judy Hancock Casper, Maureen Weitekamp Conboy, Sue Gorman Lehr, Carol Wolkerstorfer Loomis, Jane Depies Eisenach, Marilyn Chapin Massey and recently deceased Gayle Hillenbrand Henion on their forever friendship.
Here's the scoop
Wedding cake is lovely, but Kopp's custard would be altogether cooler, particularly if the flavors were a blend of the betrotheds' best picks.
But would Kopp's consent to mix what is already perfection? As Erik and Julie Heinrichs planned for their wedding in 2004, they had to pop the question.
Kopp's said, "We will," and scooped the perfect nuptial flavor: Aloha Turtle, a blend of Turtle Sundae, which is Julie's favorite, and Erik's pick, Macadamia Nut.
"The leftover first anniversary pint," Julie says, "was much better than old, freezer-burned wedding cake."
Roommate reprise
Freshman roommates Rob McNamara, Bus Ad '83, Law '86, and Ernie Watts, Bus Ad '83, parlayed a friendship formed in McCormick in 1979 into a family act.
"Rob and I roomed together in 425 both freshman and sophomore years. He was the best man in my wedding (to Barbara Dybicz Watts, Bus Ad '83), and I was the best man in his wedding (to Kate Horning McNamara, Arts '84)," says Ernie.
Their daughters, sophomores Clare McNamara and Molly Watts, are keeping the tradition alive. "They have known each other since infancy and got re-acquainted prior to arriving on campus freshman year. They quickly bonded and decided to room together in Schroeder this year," says Ernie. "That makes it Watts and McNamara together again on campus 34 years later."

Lamar head coach Ray Woodard. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 6:06 PM
By Alex Hickey / American Press
McNeese State (6-4, 3-3 Southland) lost its shot at the postseason with last week's 31-24 loss at Texas-San Antonio, but that does not make tonight's season finale against Lamar meaningless.
For seniors, it's a chance to shine under the Cowboy Stadium lights one final time.
"It feels kind of awkward," said senior defensive tackle Pat Williams. "It's just very different. It definitely means a lot. It's the last home game with all our family and friends supporting us. We definitely want to go out with a bang, especially against Lamar."
For underclassmen, it's about winning for the guys who showed them the ropes.
"For the people that's coming back, we know we have to finish on a strong note giving our seniors a win as they go out the door and show how much they mean to us," said junior wide receiver Diontae Spencer.
For everyone in blue-and-gold, it's a chance to continue the subjugation of their upstart rivals from Beaumont. Lamar is 0-2 against the Cowboys since restarting its program in 2010, and has not won in Lake Charles since 1982.
"I got to participate in the (UL-Lafayette) rivalry in 2007, and that was very big for us," said offensive lineman Miguel Gauthreaux, who is playing his final game after six years in the program. "That was always a big scrum (in the past) between Lamar, McNeese and UL. To be able to experience both of those rivalries, it's been huge. You see the electric crowds that come out to Cowboy Stadium."
It is certainly a game of great importance to Matt Viator, who looks to keep the upper hand in bringing in recruits from Southeast Texas.
"It's important to me," Viator said. "It changes the living room conversation, I don't think there's any question about that. We still think this is a great program. I'm not going to say anything bad about Lamar; I don't negatively recruit. But like any sport — men's basketball, women's basketball — we want to have the upper hand over them when we go into Southeast Texas. That's fun to have. Not that I'd ever mention it."
The Cardinals (4-7, 1-5) enter the game coming off their first Southland win this year, a 34-24 defeat of Nicholls State. That win only further stokes Lamar's competitive fire for a game it sees as the biggest on the schedule.
"We're very close in proximity," said Lamar coach Ray Woodard. "We both have a lot of players from the (Golden) Triangle. A lot of them played high school ball with or against each other.
"Personally, that's my old neighborhood (by Cowboy Stadium), so people are giving me a hard time. It just makes for a great rivalry. It's been (nearly) three years since we've played in Lake Charles and I'm excited about going back there."

Canada's new anti-spam law
This guest blog post is provided by the Office of Consumer Affairs, which promotes the interests and protection of Canadian consumers.
Canada's new anti-spam legislation will help to protect Canadians while ensuring that businesses can continue to compete in the global marketplace. It aims to increase consumer confidence in electronic commerce by protecting Canadian consumers and businesses from unwanted spam and related threats. Passed December 2010, this new law will enter into force following a Governor in Council order.
On July 9, 2011, regulations pursuant to Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation were pre-published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, for a 60-day consultation period. On June 30, 2011, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) called for comments on its proposed regulations under the Act.
Who needs to know about this law?
Anyone who:
- Makes use of commercial electronic messages
- Is involved with the alteration of transmission data
- Produces or installs computer programs
What is covered under the law?
When the new law is in force, it will prohibit the:
- Sending of commercial electronic messages without the recipient's consent (permission), including messages to e-mail addresses and social networking accounts, and text messages sent to a cell phone
- Alteration of transmission data in an electronic message which results in the message being delivered to a different destination without express consent
- Installation of computer programs without the express consent of the owner of the computer system or its agent, such as an authorized employee
- Use of false or misleading representations online in the promotion of products or services
- Collection of personal information through accessing a computer system in violation of federal law (e.g. the Criminal Code of Canada)
- Collection of electronic addresses by the use of computer programs or the use of such addresses, without permission (address harvesting)
What does it mean for you?
Businesses and organizations need to get ready for the new law. Visit www.fightspam.gc.ca to find out how to comment on the draft regulations and learn more about Canada's new anti-spam law.
What are the acceptable forms of consent under this law?
The legislation stipulates that express consent is required except in certain defined circumstances where consent is implied. These circumstances are limited to the sending of commercial electronic messages (CEMs) where the sender and the recipient in an 'existing business relationships' or an 'existing non-business relationship' as defined in the Act. Also, the legislation provides that consent is implied with respect to the sending of CEMs for the first 3 years of the legislation or until consent is withdrawn, whichever is earlier.
Is verbal consent considered permission?
As part of its draft regulations, the CRTC proposed for public comment that consent cannot be requested orally but must done 'in writing'. The CRTC is currently examining this proposed requirement in light of the comments received prior to finalizing the regulations. Regardless of the outcome, the legislation stipulates that the person who alleges that they have the necessary consent has the onus of proving such consent.
