Lots of info from the HP Exhibition, but no time to write entries. Does anyone want it?
Forum page
this wiki
Hi all
I went to the Harry Potter exhibition in Sydney and took extensive notes (photography was not permitted). I have heaps of "little" details, some of which would be useful for new and/or edits to existing pages. For instance, from the quality of Parvati's robe and shoes as compared with Draco's, I would extrapolate that she comes from a fairly wealthy family, while Hermione's robes are actually not all that good quality, which suggest that her high-income professional parents' income may not translate to equivalent wealth when exchanged into Galleons. I also have things like names of Slytherin Quidditch captains from certain years from honour boards, although I note those have already been captured.
However, I'm working full time and studying full time (arguably, I'm a masochist) and don't have time to learn all the wiki norms and write the articles. So - is there an experienced contributor who would like the notes? They're dot point, but they're usable with only a tiny bit of cleaning up on my part.

- Hello, there!
- That'd be awesome! No regular contributer at the wiki has gone to the Harry Potter exhibitions (that we know of) and, as such, we've been relying on pictures found online, or website reviews. If you want to give us your notes, you could make a transcription, or upload scans: we'd be greatly appreciated. Again, thank you! -- Seth Cooper owl post! 11:40, March 31, 2012 (UTC)
- Excellent! I'm pasting my notes below. Some will not necessarily add anything but I figured it was better to include too much than too little. Enjoy!! Deslea 19:04, March 31, 2012 (UTC)
- I've put the transcription of your notes in the archive below for better reference in articles. We'll incorporate some of your tidbits into our articles. Again, much obliged! -- Seth Cooper owl post! 20:39, March 31, 2012 (UTC)
Notes transcription
- The following discussion is an archived discussion. Please do not modify it.
- '
So I was in Sydney for a medical appointment, and I had a couple of hours up my sleeve, so I made a return trip — this time with my iPhone in hand, taking down every. damn. detail. The Brits kept a close eye on me, and whispered to one another, but consensus seemed to be that I wasn't breaking any rules, just a little odd. So, two hours of dot points later, I emerged with the following observations.
- Portraits
- Moving portraits were achieved with monitors in frames, with the surface of the screens distressed with some sort of textured clear paint.</span>
- There was a portrait of young Newt Scamander, ancestor to Rolf Scamander, who would eventually marry Luna Lovegood. (This is the same portrait already showing on the Newt Scamander page).
- There was an intriguing, gorgeous moving portrait of a couple, the man pushing the woman on a swing, at night in a graveyard. I so want to know, or write, a backstory for that.
- There is a portrait of a rather smart-looking, relatively young wizard (maybe in his 30s?) in period dress (Victorian era?) labelled Tobias Misslethorpe, Founder, Witch Weekly.
- See Hogwarts for information about Hogwarts' portraits of real people who have been appropriated into the HP world.
- Magazines
- The Quibbler has amazingly good quality paper with silver embossing. It seems a bit at odds with the home-printing-press setup of the Lovegoods. Perhaps they are quietly very well off?
- There is a Quidditch magazine called Seeker Weekly - see Fun and Games below.
- Clothes, and What They Say About Their Wearers
- Ginny's uniform, including the skirt, is surprisingly worn, given that she is the only girl in the family and therefore could not have hand-me-downs from her brothers. Also, one of the twins' uniforms is fatter than the other (and than the twins, or any of the Weasleys themselves). This suggests that the Weasleys had additional sources of hand-me-down uniforms outside the family. This could be from friends or extended family, or perhaps Hogwarts has a uniform pool.
- Although Hermione's Muggle clothes - casual and formal - are good quality, her uniform is not, with surprisingly faded red cotton lining. This suggests that perhaps her parents' good income in the Muggle world does not convert to equivalent wealth in Galleons.
- Hermione's casual clothes seem to regularly include a belts, suggesting this is one of her stylistic preferences (or possibly Emma Watson's, depending on whether she had any input).
- Harry's casual Muggle clothes from about third or fourth year on are very good quality, compared with his Dudley hand-me-downs from earlier years. This suggests he has begun to convert his Galleons from his parents' vault into Muggle pounds and is now buying his own clothes.
- A great deal of attention has been paid to Ron's hand-me-downs, with faded red cotton lining and roughened edges.
- Parvati's robes and shoes are better quality even than Draco's, with heavy red satin-like lining, suggesting that she comes from a wealthy family.
- Slughorn wears a dated but smart three-piece suit with a light robe.
- Snape's work clothes are clearly tailor-made for him, well-made and cared for. They seem consciously made in a classic style that is not quite like anything worn by anyone else, and not likely to date either. One imagines that he had maybe two or three of them made when he started as a teacher and has used them ever since. (He would, of course, be teaching seniors who were First Years when he himself was a senior, so his image would have been particularly important when starting out). The colour is a deep purple, not the blue-black they always seemed to me on screen. The outfit consists of trousers, a knee-length tunic buttoned right the way down with a horizontal seam at the waist, and a light cloak that appears to be stitched in place on the shoulders. Naturally, Severus - especially when starting out - would not want even the slightest sign of awkwardness. The whole thing seems very engineered to serve its purpose.
- Lockhart's clothes, not surprisingly, are way over the top, with a trouser, waistcoat, long coat, robe, and cravat. There is an oddity at work here - his shirt is one type of fabric but his sleeves, coming out of his coat, are another, suggesting either a custom-made shirt in two fabrics, or perhaps a dress shirt and an undershirt. (In certain pictures - not the exhibition - Lucius also seems to have this two-fabric mix, suggesting this might be a style for wizards of a certain age and means).
- Lupin just wears a light robe over the top of a basic, well-worn two-piece suit in a textured tweedy fabric. One imagines that it's the only suit the virtually-unemployable Remus owns.
- Fudge's suit is a bit different to everyone else's. Everyone else seems to use a cloak in a very light fabric that complements the suit beneath. Fudge, however, wears a cloak in pinstripe suiting fabric, along with matching trousers and long-line jacket. His waistcoat is a different complementing fabric to the suit, again unlike others, and unlike others of his socio-economic demographic, he wears a tie. (By comparison, Slughorn wears a bow tie, and Lockhart wears a cravat. Meanwhile, lower-income characters Lupin and Arthur Weasley wear regular ties). His shoes are really good quality.
- Hooch's robes are extremely smart, suggesting that she comes from wealth. Her robes and suit have velvet hand-stitched appliquéd detailing, and her broom twigs are tinted purple to match.
- Buckbeak's would-be executioner wears very tattered clothes and shows signs of scavenging food (eg little bones sticking out of his bag), suggesting that, as in many places in the Muggle world, being an executioner makes one a social outcast. His axe has leather ties around it and runes stamped into the steel. There is no sign of a wand, so perhaps he is a Squib.
- Xenophilius Lovegood's clothes suggest hidden wealth. His shoes from Bill and Fleur's wedding are very fine hand-made, hand-stitched, dyed leather, and his outfit has hand-embroidered velvet detailing.
- In line with his socio-economic standing, Hagrid's clothes are very patched and appear handmade (makes sense - he wouldn't be able to buy any in his size). The ones we saw were the larger ones worn by the stand-in, not the normal-sized ones worn by Robbie Coltrane, and the buttons appeared to be sawn-off slices from a tree branch.
- Quirrell's clothes suggest modest wealth, which fits with his ability to travel. He wears a lined cloak, unlike the light cloaks worn by most, with a contrasting undercoat with a silver clasp, and a waistcoat.
- Draco's robe is good quality, with two embroidered two-button fasteners (ie, a fastener with a real button on one side and a matching button-for-show on the other), but not as exceptionally good quality as Parvati's. The lining is reasonable but not lavish.
- Tom Riddle's uniform is a shirt and tie, a gray knit school sweater/jumper with two green (Slytherin) stripes at the neck, a two-piece gray suit, and a cloak. The gray suit seems quite coordinated and was presumably an integral part of the uniform in the 1940s.
- Despite appearing dark and heavy in the films (at least to me!), Voldemort's cloak is actually a very light green fabric, quite gauzy and delicate.
- Costumes were shown for Dumbledore both during the Richard Harris era and the Michael Gabon era. There were interesting differences. Both were lavishly detailed, but while RH's Dumbledore wore heavy fabrics and textures (kind of like curtains and carpets), MG's Dumbledore wore much lighter and more delicate ones.
- Contrary to fanon, Lucius' Chamber of Secrets outfit features absolutely no green. Instead, it is in black and a deep red. It consists of pinstripe trousers (red pinstripe), an undershirt with the topaz snake brooch which is available as a replica from the Noble Collection, a dress shirt which is rather Oriental in cut and style (red detailing), and a stole which is deep red or purple with snake clasps. He also wears a wand harness. This consists of a kind of belt that sits at the hips, with an o-ring connector. From the o-ring, on one side an additional strip comes off on an angle, then back up again to the side to make a triangle. From the bottom point of the triangle, a little long pocket descends, just the right size and shape for a wand.
- Bellatrix also has a wand harness, but hers hangs off in a triangle from her corset rather than an o-ring and belt.
- In addition to everyday robes, I saw what appeared to be Death Eater dress robes (two of them). The most noteworthy part was a deep purple or black cape like an old-fashioned nurse's cape, but coming to stop about the elbows. It was of very good quality and distinctive fabric. There was also a dark fur stole.
- Cedric Diggory's school robes were a bit worn, suggesting he may not have come from a particularly well-off family. However, his dress robes for the Yule Ball were extremely smart. It isn't clear whether his family scratched together the money or he had a benefactor or sponsor during the Triwizard Tournament.
- Like Cedric, Harry's dress robes are very good quality, and identical in style, with diagonal/bias panels on the sleeves and collar. Another interesting point is that most of the Yule Ball outfits - Harry, Cedric, Cho, and Hermione, as well as McGonagall - have strong diagonal lines. Ron's does not, thus highlighting the difference of his awful, dated, hand-me-down dress robes.
- McGonagall's clothes for the Yule Ball consist of a blouse (or possibly an underdress, I suppose), and an all in one robe in two green textured fabrics, joined by two gold buttons.
- The Invisible Cloak is made of an interesting fine, lightweight velour fabric in a distressed pattern of orange deepening into brown, with equally light black lining.
- Sirius wears quite fine clothing that has obviously been tailor-made for him, with an interesting double-collar velvet coat, but it's a bit the worse for wear. It raises the question of where it came from. It could be his from back when he lived at Grimmauld Place - but then it shouldn't be worn. It could be his from his days living with the Potters, with whatever clothes he managed to take with him when he left - but then, how would he have gotten it?
- One of Tonks' outfits from OOTP was shown. It's quite an amazing set: A short black dress with a weird trim that kind of separates into a jacket but is integrated to about the bustline, random brass studs all over the jacket section and at the neck, a transparent blouse underneath with black and purple diagonal lines, a black and brass-studded choker, and a fabulous knee-length deep pink jacket/coat with a deep horizontal ridged texture. Oh, and old Doc Martins. (The blouse is seen again as part of other outfits in the series).
- James Potter's wand has spider webs etched into it. No, I don't get it either.
- Hogwarts Details
- Harry's acceptance letter includes Dumbledore's qualifications at the bottom. These are Albus Dumbledore D.Wiz., X.J.(sorc), S. of Mag. Q. I presume D.Wiz is a Doctorate in Wizardly, and if the Muggle convention of descending qualification is used, then X.J.(sorc) would be Masters/Licentiate level, and S. of Mag.Q. would be Bachelors/Baccalaureate.
- Ron's bed has a lovingly handmade patchwork blanket of coloured knitted squares, presumably by Molly.
- Ron's bedside table is covered with Chudley Cannons paraphernalia and a Honeyduke's sack. He also has a Chudley Cannons shirt that appears to be autographed by the whole team.
- Ron has a Cliff's Notes style booklet - a fold-out revision aid called Cram It! How To Soar On Your O.W.L.S., with sections for each subject. It notes on the cover that the possible grades are Outstanding, Exceeds Expectations, Acceptable, Poor, Dreadful, and Troll.
- Lockhart's books include Year with the Yeti, Travels with Trolls, Voyages with Vampires, Magical Me, Break with a Banshee (in both a one book and a two book box set), and the box set of three, Wanderings (book 1), Holidays (book 2), and Voyages (book 3). The box set of three had parts of his name written up top of the spine so that when viewed side by side, they made up his full name.
- The Jack In The Box boggart is just amazing in its detail - pastel rose-pink and blue nursery colour scheme, tassels, Elizabethan ruff, and layered lace cuffs.
- The gramophone record Lupin played during the boggart sequence is called Wizard Waltz, produced by Spell-O-Fonix.
- Lupin's textbook was The Dark Forces: A Guide To Self-Protection by Quentin Trimble.
- Each of Professor Sprout's mandrakes gives a different cry.
- Trelawny's textbook is Unfogging The Future by Cassandra Vanlaisky.
- An honour board lists the following Slytherin Quidditch captains, in order. Note that there is only a new captain every four years, suggesting that perhaps a third year was elected every four years, and stayed until they left school. They are: 1940: Winky Crockett, 1944: Neil Lament, 1948: Andrew Snowy Owl, 1952: Jo King, 1956: Rufus Winickus, 1960: Jody Jacknife, 1964: Stuart Craggy, 1968: Steve Laughalot, 1972: Emma Vanity, 1976: Jacinda Talkalot. If Winky, like the elf, is a girl, then girls and boys are equally represented. Winky would have been the Slytherin house captain during Tom Riddle's later years and during the first opening of the Chamber of Secrets.
- Umbridge's desk appears to be rosewood and even the spine of her quill is pink. The nib is a lovely detailed silver piece.
- There was amazing detail on the chess pieces from Philosopher's Stone but the flying key looked very amateurish.
- Educational Decree number 24 from Umbridge's era requires owls to be tagged in order to comply with owl post, and number 47 requires students to consent to their post being inspected for illegal contraband.
- The Goblet of Fire casket has heaps of tiny characters and runes. Some look Chinese.
- There are several fascinating portraits based on Tudor portraits. These include:
- The iconic portrait of Anne Boleyn, playing on her conviction for witchcraft. It states "Anno 1507" (1507 is one of her disputed birth years) and "Aetatis XX" (aged twenty), suggesting it was painted in 1527. However, it could also mean it was painted in the year 1507 when the subject was twenty. I couldn't get close enough to be sure, but the iconic B necklace appears instead to be a H. It is not clear what the H would stand for.
- There is a portrait that appears to be based on the so-called sieve portrait of Anne Boleyn's daughter Elizabeth I (where she holds a sieve to represent her perpetual virginity). However, she wears a witch's hat and holds a chain with a tiny skull. The Hogwarts crest is visible in the corner and there is potion-making paraphernalia behind her. It may be extrapolated that her extraordinary success and longevity as a monarch was due to charms and/or potions. It is marked Aetatis XXXV (age 35), which is about the age she is shown in the sieve portrait.
- There is a painting of an Elizabethan wizard child with an owl and a wand. It is clearly based on a 1574 portrait of James VI of Scotland, who later also became Elizabeth's successor, James I of England. James was a fascinatingly conflicted man, who on one hand apparently had many male lovers but on the other hand was at least initially besotted with his wife. He also became fixated on witchcraft, wrote treatises about it, and personally presided over the torture of accused witches. Arguably, in the Harry Potter world, he might have been acting out his own conflicts. However, there is a logic flaw here, as well - while Elizabeth presumably inherited her magic from her mother, James was related to her by her father.
- There is another portrait that might be based on the so-called rainbow portrait of Elizabeth I, but could also be Queen Anne. Or it might just be an elegant Stuart-Hanover lady (the defining feature is the hat with the feather, which didn't come in until quite late in Elizabeth's reign). It's not quite as clearly derivative as the others. However, if it is Queen Anne, there is still a link back to her magical predecessors: Anne succeeded in something James had always wanted to do, which was to officially consolidate the English and Scottish crowns into a single United Kingdom. In most other respects Anne was spectacularly unlucky - she had seventeen children, more than half of them stillborn, and only one who survived infancy.
- Fun and Games
- For the Quidditch World Cup, there were binoculars with trims in Bulgaria and Ireland's colours. These appear to be what we would consider official merchandise, with a "manufactured" finish and versions for each team. There was also a clumsily hand-painted pair of binoculars (different style) in Bulgaria's colours, probably belonging to a fan who was too young and/or poor to buy the official version.
- According to a cover of Seeker Weekly, the eligible countries for the World Cup were Australia, Peru, Argentina, France, Spain, Ireland, Scotland, Brazil, Japan, Uganda, Portugal, India, Bulgaria, USA, Luxembourg, and England.
- Here's a behind the scenes titbit: The Nimbuses were apparently made with carved/moulded particle board making up the bulk of the broom, with long thin round pieces of wood glued around it, for the very sleek brooms we saw during the Quidditch matches. (The black equivalents on the Slytherin Nimbuses seem to have used glossy plastic in place of the wood).
- There is an amazingly detailed board game called Snitch-Snatcher. It has cardboard stands and tiny characters to sit in them, a board representing the Quidditch pitch, players on little sticks like fondue sticks, large coloured dice, and gold tokens.
- Bad Guys and their Bad Bad Details
- The Angel of Death statue used to restrain Harry in Little Hangleton is an extraordinary piece, lovely in a weird and macabre sort of way, but bizarre for any cemetery and certainly for what is presumably a Muggle one. The Angel is a skeleton with a scythe, who guards what appears to be an above-ground vault (presumably the Riddle vault). The vault is not unlike Dumbledore's one in Deathly Hallows.
- Bella's dagger has a green painted handle, which I don't recall from the film.
- The bone death eater masks from Little Hangleton have gold on them. The one I could get close to has a layer of gold on the brow and the nose, with stamped on runes.
- Both Alecto's and Amycus' wanted posters - seemingly from the First War - identify them as "suspected" Death Eaters, with a 1000 galleon reward for "information leading to their arrest." I presume they're from the First War because of the "suspected" status.
- Fenrir Greyback is labelled a "savage werewolf, convicted murderer, suspected Death Eater." It's interesting to note that his werewolf status comes before convicted murderer. It seems to allude to the stigma suffered by werewolves. Again, there is a 1000 galleon reward.
- Bella's poster names her as a "known Death Eater, convicted murderer, fugitive from Azkaban." This must therefore be a Second War poster. Again, 1000 galleon reward. However, it raises the question of who she was convicted of murdering - I'm sure she killed before her imprisonment, but I thought she was convicted over the Longbottoms.
- Harry's Undesirable Number 1 poster, from the period when Voldemort controlled the ministry, has "10,000 galleons on his head," a far greater sum and far less discreet language than that used in relation to the Carrows, Greyback, and Bellatrix.
- There is a First War poster of "Simple Security Guidelines." To paraphrase, these are (1) don't leave the house alone, (2) don't travel at night, (3) review security and ensure all members of the household know protective charms (as well as Side-A-Long apparition in the case of underage family in the home), (4) have security questions pre-arranged in case of attempted impersonation by Polyjuice position, (5) contact the Ministry if a friend, neighbour, or family member behaves strangely as they may be Imperiused, (6) do not enter a house with the Dark Mark above it, and (7) advise the Ministry of any sightings of Inferi.
- First War signage refers more than once to "an organisation calling itself the Death Eaters." This seems to be the usual catchphrase.

PRINCETON, N.J. — The Princeton women's lacrosse team has clinched a spot in the 2013 Ivy League Tournament with an 11-9 win over Harvard on Saturday, April 13 at Sherrerd Field at Class of 1952 Stadium. The No. 16-ranked Tigers improve to 8-4 overall and 5-0 in the league.
Junior Mary-Kate Sivilli paced the Tigers with a four-point game on three goals and an assist. Senior Sam Ellis had a hat trick and sophomore Erin McMunn scored twice and added an assist. Junior goalie Caroline Franke made 10 saves in her seventh win of the season.
Ten of the game's 20 games were scored on free-position attempts. Princeton converted 7-of-9, while Harvard was 3-for-4.
Only two goals in the first half were scored in classic style, with six coming by way of the eight meter.
Harvard ran a slow-paced offense and started to run time off the clock as soon as it won the opening draw. Princeton struggled to get possession and found itself taking 24 fouls as the Tigers tried to pressure the Crimson offense.
Princeton had a 3-1 lead 13 minutes into the game, before a three-goal run gave Harvard its first lead of the game, 4-3 with 3:35 to play in the half. Ellis tied the game with 1:24 remaining.
Sivilli scored twice to start the second half to regain the lead for Princeton, 6-4. Two goals by Harvard in the next six minutes tied the game once again at 6-6.
The Tigers scored four unanswered, with goals by Ellis, Sivilli, McMunn and freshman Anya Gersoff, to grab their largest lead of the game, 10-6, at 7:42.
The teams traded goals within three minutes of each other as Princeton maintained a four-goal lead, 11-7 with 4:09 left.
Harvard scored twice in the final 2:12 but it wasn't enough as Princeton hung on for the win.
Micaela Cyr led the Crimson with three goals and one assist, while Danielle Tetrault had two goals and one assist and four draw controls. Kyleigh Keating had a game-high five draw controls. Goalie Melanie Cook made four saves in 60 minutes. Harvard drops to 2-9 on the season and 1-4 in league play.
Harvard had a 22-21 edge in shots and won 15 of 22 draw controls. Princeton had a 6-2 advantage in ground balls, while turnovers were limited with three for Harvard and two for Princeton.
Princeton will face Penn in a battle between the two Ivy League unbeatenss on Wednesday night, April 17 at 7 p.m., at Franklin Field.

text: early this morning while pulling my boat to our cottage, i was traveling on the highway that goes through the city and all the way to where my cottage area is. there was barely anyone on the highway, as i was just entering town going northbound ( i live south of the city) doing 3 under the speed limit in the lane to the right of the fast lane on a four lane highway. suddenly a sheriff (not the same authenticity as sheriffs in the states) merges onto the highway from a neighbourhood, jumps over two lanes without indicating and rides right on my boat trailer's tail for about 2 kilometers without any lights or sirens. then he floors it, jumps over to the fast lane and speeds up to at least 140kph in a 100kph zone. I took down the license plate and unit number and went on with my drive. as i drove north of town the highway narrowed to 2 lanes each way. as i got closer to cottage country the highway went over some rolling foothills with steep grades. my 4 speed Silverado hates hills when towing, and as i went up the hills it screamed up to 5000 RPM and as i went down the hills it would speed up even in cruise. when going down a grade, at least 25%, i looked in my mirror and saw a sheriff burning out of the ditch with dust everywhere and fishtailing wildly as he gained on me with lights and sirens on. he pulled me over and walked up and told me i was doing 12 over the speed limit. as friendly as i could be, i explained that there was a big hill and my truck hates towing on hills. this is where it gets good. he looked back and said word for word "the hill is half a kilometer back, dude, you had easily enough room to brake" and that seemed a little unprofessional to me. i explained that braking on the highway doing 110 kph is tough on my brakes, because i don't have a trailer brake controller, and it confuses other drivers and can cause an accident, considering the death toll on that stretch of highway. apparently to this guy, something was wrong with my "car" and that it should be properly equipped to tow and that vehicles that work properly should be able to slow themselves on grades. after the fact, i got a ticket for speeding, and the court date is June 16 at 9:30, and i will be there to fight the crap out of this ticket.

The Land
Cities & Suburbs
Boom & Bust
Patriotic Duty
At Ease
Theme: Cities & Suburbs
Artist: Jessie TRAILL
Birth/Death: 1881–1967
Title: Building the Harbour Bridge VI: Nearly complete, June 1931
Credit Line: National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
One of Australia's greatest engineering projects, the Sydney Harbour Bridge inspired many of Australia's early modernist artists. For printmaker Jessie Traill, the Bridge became a symbol of modern design and technology and the subject of some of her finest work. This work with its definitive title Building the Harbour Bridge VI: Nearly complete, June 1931, indicates that she was more interested in the bridge under construction than as a finished object. Her work celebrated the industry of the antlike workers, seen from her vantage point on the top deck within the construction area. This allowed her to look up at the arc of the Bridge framed by the girders above and the cropped shadowy form on the right.
The vertical elongation of this print accentuates the height of the pylons and demonstrates her familiarity with Japanese prints. The unusual angles and the emphasis on lineal patterns and geometric shapes also show the influence of the modernist movements such as cubism and abstraction on her work.

I am maintaining an Observation Hive for the 1st time. It has 4 medium frames and is doing very well but has swarmed once so far this year. Should I keep removing the frames that fill up with brood? Will this keep them happy? They are very busy and productive.
What happens in the winter when I can't take the outside to work the hive. Will they behave like the bees in the outside apiary?
Thanks for any advice.

Lovely well equipped apartment in a nice and quiet area close to Taksim Square, tram ..
The garden remains significant

The host was very helpful with any request.
I recommend.

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour à Istanbul
Nous reviendrons
merci !
Pretty, clean apartment with great terraces. Most of the sights in the immediate vicinity. 4th floor, without a lift. Who wants TV, finds no (listed on Wimdu, however). View by the surrounding houses somewhat limited.
Still recommended. Is a great starting point to discover this beautiful city. Transfer from / to the airport on time, courteous. Nice landlord
Hübsche, saubere Wohnung mit tollen Terrassen. Die meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten in unmittelbarer Nähe. 4.Stock, ohne Lift. Wer TV wünscht, findet keinen (auf Wimdu jedoch aufgeführt). Aussicht durch die umliegenden Häuser etwas eingeschränkt.
Trotzdem empfehlenswert. Ist ein toller Ausgangspunkt um diese schöne Stadt zu entdecken. Transfer vom/ zum Flughafen pünktlich, zuvorkommend. Netter Vermieter
Great location, spacious cabin. Not quite as neat as the photos might suggest, but OK. Fits well even for two couples or larger families.
Hieno sijainti, tilava kämppä. Ei ihan niin siisti, kuin kuvista voisi päätellä, mutta OK. Sopii hyvin vaikka kahdelle pariskunnalle tai isommallekin perheelle.
The apartment in Istanbul was great. It was in a real nice neighbourhood and very near to Taksim square. Lots of nice shops, restaurants and bars close by. The apartment itself had everything you might need for a (short) stay and was very clean and comfortable. It has a small garden were you can park you bicycle (which was very convenient for us!) or dry your washing. In summer it might even be possible to sit outside and have a bbq (which was available as well)! The host and the owner were both very helpful and communicative. When the wifi was not woring the host arranged a solution very quickly. We had a very nice stay in Istanbul and in the aparment, if friend or family will visit we will defenitly advise them to rent this apartment.
Very pleasant stay. Apartment remarkably well located in old Istanbul with views of Hagia Sophia and the Bosphorus!
Séjour très agréable. Appartement remarquablement bien situé dans le vieil Istanbul avec vue sur Sainte-Sophie et le Bosphore !
Great! A very nice, generous, beautiful and special furnished apartment, great alternative to a hotel. We have felt ourselves very well and also the organization worked perfectly side.
Klasse! Ein sehr nettes, großzügiges, schön und besonders eingerichtetes Appartment, tolle Alternative zum Hotel. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und auch die Organisation klappte perferkt.
Dear sir/miss,
My friends and I stayed in the MARIE - 2Bed with terrace and view -
appartement from 19 - 22 june.
The appartement was very nice! I would recommend it to friends and family
if the following didn't happen:
Unfortunately the host (Anil) didn't respond to my textmessage (that there
was no drinkwater anymore) and also not to my phonecall on sundaymorning
about the cleaninglady who barged in at 10 o'clock, while our check-out
time was 11 o'clock. She wanted to take our towels, but one of my friends
didn't have a shower yet. So we send her away. She left angry and came back
at 11 o'clock (we ran into her when we went down the stairs).
Kind Regards,
Very nice apartment in a great location close to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, tank, etc.. Located on the 4th floor without elevator!
The only unfortunate thing is that there are no shutters in bedrooms and curtains are not blackout.
A stereo or iPod dock would have been a
Très bel appartement et très bien situé proche de Ste Sophie, la mosquée bleue, la citerne, etc. Situé au 4ème étage sans ascenseur !
La seule chose regrettable est qu'il n'y a pas de volets dans les chambres et rideaux ne sont pas occultants.
Une chaîne hifi ou station iPod aurait été un plus
The apartment is well and is nice, but in need of updating.
Die Wohnung liegt gut und ist nett, aber auch renovierungsbedürftig.
Very nice apartment, well located in old Istanbul, very nice comfortable clean and quiet. Two very pleasant terraces (4th floor without elevator). We were also warmly welcomed by Serra gave us good advice. We loved it!

There's a cozy bedroom, for two persons, plus a living room which is instead very large and airy. In a corner of that you can use the kitchen, which is protected by a glass door to avoid smells entering the living room. Finally, a large and comfortable bathroom with shower cascade gives the flat another plus.
Nearby, there's San Stae boat stop (boat number 1), which allows you to arrive here without getting lost. Usually, we can arrange check in over there to improve your way. As written above, Rialto bridge is very close to the apartment itself, but the street it lies is really quiet and perfect to have a good rest after a long venecian day.
Check in after 19.00 costs 20 euro extra.

Giacomo was a very kind and helpful host.
We were happily surprised to find what we were looking for. That is a comfortable and clean place in the centre of Venice.
I would definitely recommend this place and I would come back to this place too!
Nous avons eu Giacomo plusieurs fois au téléphone, il est très
sympathique et arrangeant. C'est sa fiancée qui est venue nous rejoindre au point de RDV , qui nous a conduit à l'appartement et nous a donné les informations nécessaires.
L'appartement est très bien situé, au bord d'un canal, près du marché et tout près du Rialto. L'emplacement est idéal pour découvrir Venise.C'est aussi un appartement très calme et très fonctionnel. C'était pour nous parfait.

Very nice flat in a perfect location. Arrival was very well organised, pick up form the boat stop. Flat is really spacious with two bed rooms, living room and kitchen. From the kitchen you have a lovely view on the canal.
The beds are not the most comfortable ones but for 4 nights totally ok.
We can def. recommend this flat.
Great appartment in a lovely quarter of Venice!
It was a great experience at Giacomo's flat.It's in a very old building(from 1400/1500 i guess),the house is really big and well furnised(even if with such a nice house i would make some improvment to make it even more great).
Great location,10 minutes walking from station,10 minutes from Rialto.
Giacomo was very welcoming and kind host.
Absolutely recommended!

We had a very warm welcome from Giacomo and Giulia, and we really loved the apartment. Everything you need is there (even coffee), and the rooms and the view are stunning - and really charming!
Lovely flat, huge rooms and great location (almost straight on to the Zattere). Clean, convenient and exceeded expectations.
Friendly and helpful owner.
I stayed here in august 2015. Very nice flat in quiet location.(The outside is not very fancy, but inside it is clean and nice.) Good air-condition, which was very important at the time, it was very, very hot. The garden is very nice, if it wasn't so hot we would have used it a lot. Nice restaurants close to the flat, short walk to water bus. A lot of tourists like us - would like to come back at a less busy period (if that exists), and would like to come back to the same flat.
The flat is in a very nice quiet area with a lot of restaurants. It's just 10 minutes from train station and close to the main sights (rialto, boat stop to murano,...). A supermarket and shops/bakeries are just 5 minutes away.
Our host was very friendly and helped us a lot - good and fast.
We loved the balcony with the view on the canal. The flat is clean and you have everything you need for your stay (towels, bed linen, dishes,...)

Our community should value and appreciate the efforts of UNAFF, festival founder Jasmina Bojic, her staff and volunteers. For 15 years, they have brought sensitive, thought-provoking, social and cultural issues to the fore via cinema. With Human Dignity as its theme, and most events free for students and seniors, people should be breaking down the doors to see films, meet film-makers, attend panels. GO!! Even better, donate and volunteer!! Web Link

I am down here in south Texas where the AHB has been for a while. I made a split in early Sept. adding an Allamerican queen from the Weavers. Well, she didn't take and they reised their own. At this point the raised queen appears good, even though they are alittle runny. Although, I know the raised queen is pure Allamerican, I cannot be as sure what type of drone she mated with. My question is, do the AHB problems show up at the beginning or do they arise later?
Bee Good!

Arthouse movie buffs, film festivals and boutique theatres are likely to be the losers in changes which relax the rules on importing feature films.
A bill which would extend the ban on parallel importing for a period after a feature film's international release was expected to be passed into law this week.
The ban was due to expire on October 31, and the law change would extend it for another three years. The legislation would also reduce the window in which parallel importing was banned from nine months to five months.
The Government emphasised that this would probably be the last time a temporary ban was backed by Parliament, which meant that the date when New Zealand film fans could watch a film at the cinema, on DVD or online as soon as it was released was probably only three years away.
Most parties supported an extension of the ban because it gave small and rural cinemas a chance to transition to digital exhibition technology. This would allow these theatres to show films as soon as possible after international release dates.
The law change was supported by both National and Labour. But both major parties emphasised that the public would become sceptical of copyright law if they could not legally obtain films without waiting too long, and the cinema industry needed to change its business model before the ban lapsed again.
The cinema industry said that the reduction of the copyright window by four months was likely to have an effect, especially on arthouse cinemas and rural theatres.
Richard Dalton, who runs three theatres including Lido and Capitol in Auckland, said the margins on alternative cinema were already very tight.
He predicted that distributors would be less motivated to buy the rights to films if the window was shortened because the risk of losing money was increased.
New Zealand Film Festival director Bill Gosden said that the law change supported piracy because it created further opportunities for people to import material and distribute it without paying for the copyright.
"The people who are getting special treatment here are importers ... this legislation completely favours their way of doing business and completely undercuts the conventional way of doing business."
The Green Party opposed the law change. It argued that the ban should be scrapped altogether because it gave special treatment to the cinema industry and encouraged illegal file sharing.
NZ Motion Picture Exhibitors Association president Paul Desmond, who runs Bay City Cinemas in Tauranga, said a five-month window was the "absolute minimum" and he would struggle to cope if the ban lapsed completely.
Mr Gosden said eliminating the ban would inevitably lead to fewer films at festivals.
A study by PricewaterhouseCoop ers predicted that removing the ban altogether would lead to between 111 and 165 job cuts and losses to the cinema industry of between $6.3 million and $9.4 million. Theatres which held back some films for peak periods would no longer be able to do so, and ticket prices could rise.
Ban reduced
Now: Parallel importers are banned from importing films for commercial purposes for a nine-month period after an international release.
Proposed: Ban on importing extended for three years, but the period is reduced to five months.
The industry
• 120 New Zealand cinemas
• 3000 Workers
• 111 to 165 Expected job losses if ban dropped
• $9.4m Maximum cost to cinema industry

Patricia Quijada
Womens' Studies Institute associate director named
By Pamela Williams
Graduate Research Assistant, Women's Studies Institute
(Jan. 30, 2006)--Patricia Quijada, UTSA assistant professor of counseling and educational psychology, has been named associate director of UTSA's Women's Studies Institute (WSI).
"As the associate director for the Women's Studies Institute I seek to collaborate with the executive director, Sonia Saldívar-Hull, in carving out a research trajectory that seeks to produce new, creative and critically informed scholarship that deals directly with issues related toward the empowerment of women," said Quijada. "In so doing, we intend to further expand upon the collegial relationships here at UTSA and in the local San Antonio community by building alliances with faculty across disciplines and with the community."

- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus

Quijada joined UTSA in 2004 with a Ph.D. in educational psychology with an emphasis in human development from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Additionally, she earned two master's of education degrees in counseling and human development from Harvard University, a multiple-subject teaching credential from the University of San Diego, a bachelor of science degree in sociology and a bachelor of arts degree in political science from the University of California at Riverside.
Quijada's research interests include examining identity formations among female youth in home, community and school contexts; mother-child relationships among indigenous communities; and academic achievement among students of color.
In the summer of 2005 with the support of WSI, Quijada collaborated with a community-based non-profit youth organization to launch the first annual JUNTAS: Cultivando a Stronger Futuro conference which focused on encouraging first-generation, 9-to-12-year-old, college-bound Chicanas/Latinas to pursue a post-secondary education.
The conference was the beginning of a longitudinal project Quijada will pursue advocating for Latinas to have opportunities to attend post-secondary institutions. With this in mind, Quijada plans for the JUNTAS conference to serve as a pilot project for a longitudinal, community-action-based research study to center on promoting the educational success of Chicanas/Latinas in the San Antonio community.
Quijada was appointed to serve a three-year term on the Scholars Advocating for Gender Equity (SAGE) committee and will co-chair Division K (Teaching and Teacher Education) Section 7 and the Adolescence Special Interest Group for the American Educational Research Association.
She has presented her research at numerous national and international conferences and most recently published "Semillas educacionales fortalecen nuestro futuro (Educational Seeds to Strengthen Our Future): K-8 Latina(o) Schooling Experiences."
Quijada will be the keynote speaker for the 2006 Young Women and Young Men's Conference sponsored by the San Antonio College Women's Center.

Note, 2 separate single beds.
Equipment, it lacks a vacuum cleaner in the apartment (presence of a mat).
Appartement agréable, bien équipé, bien situé dans un quartier typique et historique (de pas avoir de voiture). Proche commerces, marché, bar à tapas.
Hôte très souple pour les heures d'arrivée/départ.
A noter, 2 lits séparés une personne.
En équipement, il manque un aspirateur dans l'appartement (présence d'un tapis).
A stylish and safe flat to stay, full of natural light. We loved the location, very charming neighbourhood and next to a beautiful church. A bit of a walk to the centre, but not a problem at all. Would stay again.
The apartment is very nice and is in a great place to visit.
Mario is very friendly.

There was a problem with this apartment at the last minute because it was no longer available, but Mario has sent us to another apartment similar, nice, clean and in good location.
C'è stato un problema con questo appartamento perché all'ultimo momento non era più disponibile, ma Mario ci ha inviato in un altro appartamento analogo, carino, pulito e in buona posizione.
Very nice place to stay !
You'll get anything you need and its location is perfect.
I'll surely come back.
The apartment is great located. 3 minutes from the Giralda and the cathedral, but you can walk to all the major sites of the city. It is very cozy and has everything you need for a few days.

The apartment is very nice and is in a central location ideal for walking close to any point of interest (Giralda, Torre del Oro, the Jewish Quarter, etc..). Totally recommended, though better in warm season, because there is no heating.

Inmejorable ubicación, cerca de todo y muy bien atendidos por Mario.

Dos and Don'ts
Greeting: Don't smile away. Most Berliners have been brought up to think that smiling is a sign of superficiality. Don't be deterred by stern faces, cold welcomes, and impassive service in shops and restaurants. Most people are actually much more genial than what they let show—politeness and warmth are just not the German Volk's best attributes.
Tipping: Tip fairly. Servers receive a fixed salary, so it's usual to just round up the bill to the nearest euro, although American tipping habits are catching up in Berlin too. Generally speaking, the higher the bill, the higher the tip with a good 10 percent being the norm in proper restaurants.
Paying: Berlin women are expected to be strong and independent, hence self-sufficient. To buy them a drink or a meal could be interpreted as macho and most women will insist on splitting the bill—which is a very German habit in general. Most Berlin servers will ask you right away whether you wish to pay "together" (zusammen) or "separate" (getrennt).
Following the Rules: Be ready to learn. Berliners are often described as lecturing and haughty know-it-alls. However aloof they may seem, they're not indifferent. Are you possibly feeling like you're being talked down to or lectured about traffic rules, or something else you were spotted doing wrong? Just take it as a sign of concern and care.

WHEREAS NCSS advocates for an educated and actively engaged citizenry, who explores the causes, consequences, and possible solutions to persistent, contemporary and emerging local, national, and global issues;
WHEREAS NCSS fosters the educational literacy of interdependence among individuals, groups, and nations;
WHEREAS NCSS promotes student understanding about local, national, and global issues of public concern from multiple points of view,
WHEREAS NCSS encourages the understanding of empathy through the analysis of perceptions, attitudes, values and beliefs of personal, community, and national identity;
BE IT RESOLVED that NCSS continue to promote a more planet friendly conference through Going Green 1 *,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that NCSS continue to set an example of expectation for conference "give aways" for state and local councils,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED NCSS should incorporate philanthropic "give aways" within the construct of the NCSS Conference [i.e. promoting sustainable development, Going Green, Paying-it-Forward (see the Wisconsin Conference "give aways")]. These philanthropic "give aways" can and should be a reflection of the humanitarian nature promoted by the educational leadership of the NCSS Board of Directors, membership and standards we teach to our student body. The funds raised for the "give aways" should support the main cause, i.e. people, at a level of no lower than 80%.
NCSS Resolution #08-01-3 STEWARDSHIP FOR OUR PLANET: GO GREEN: BE IT RESOLVED, that the NCSS make every effort to reduce, reuse and recycle in its publications, conferences, meetings and daily operations by enacting a formal Green Policy. Passed: NCSS 2008 HOD and BOD.
• Going Green – Going green is a popular term used to describe the process of changing one's lifestyle for the safety and benefit of the environment. People or companies who "go green" make decisions about their daily interactions while considering what impact the outcome of those decisions may have on global warming, pollution, loss of animal habitats, and other environmental concerns. There are three changes most people/companies make to "go green." They begin sustainable living, use environmentally friendly (or green) products, and they begin recycling and/or reusing as many products as possible. http://www.thegreenguide.com/

SPONSORS: The Association of Teachers of Social Studies / United Federation of Teachers – New York City (ATSS/UFT), New York State Council for the Social Studies
Co-sponsors: Connecticut Council for the Social Studies, NCSS Assessment Community
WHEREAS NCSS has historically and consistently promoted an education system that offers all students – irrespective of neighborhood, race, class or cultural heritage –to achieve a high, common standard for what they are expected to learn and be able to do;
WHEREAS NCSS has been deeply involved in the standards movement to ensure that all students learn what they need, to compete in the global economy and to be active citizens in our democracy;
WHEREAS NCSS has advocated that reaching the goal of high student achievement requires the adoption of common state standards that prepare students for college and career readiness and citizenship in the 21st century. This includes rich and challenging core curricula in English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies; quality early childhood education; teacher education and professional development; diagnostic, formative and summative assessments; and specialized interventions for students whose learning styles demand differentiated instruction;
WHEREAS the U.S. Department of Education has supported the adoption of common core standards as crucial to the improvement of schooling in our nation and has agreed to fund the development of aligned summative assessments based on those standards;

While I applauded some of their efforts in the past, Anonymous has gone too far. As Hot Air's Allahpundit wrote about earlier this week, Anonymous, along with other Julian Assange and WikiLeaks supporters, attacked VISA, Mastercard, as well as the websites as prominent figures, like Sarah Palin, were attacked in what is being called "Operation: Payback." Aside from the blogs, this story has also been reported in the mainstream media. One such news outlet, the Financial Post, where Jameson Berkow is reporting on Anonymous' failed attack on Amazon.com and PayPal, a message was left from one of the group's members, anon9001.
Wikileak's release of the diplomatic cables is a powerful act of transparency in a world that sees much lauding of the term but precious little practice. The attempts to silence Wikileaks are an equally worrying act of censorship. What is clear is that our Western governments, in spite of the liberal democratic values and norms enshrined in their many constitutions, are ever more eager to push for a system of restrictive internet governance that threatens this final frontier of free expression and association
The principles of liberty that this represents; the attack on the internet, which is so dear to my generation, that this represents, these are the reasons why I have supported and perhaps even participated in Anonymous' attacks on the corporations and government institutions which have conspired to silence Wikileaks. These are the same principles that have driven countless individuals, known and anonymous, before us to take part in the same type of protest and action. Our support for the DDOS attacks online today is the same as support for the sit-ins of yesteryear.
This is a watershed moment in the history of free speech on the internet; a cyberspace equivalent of the May 1968 student protests in Paris, or the 1969 Vietnam marches in the United States. We are not agitating for something new, we are not revolutionaries. We are resisting the destruction of something old: the free internet which has characterized our lives and our experiences up to this point.
What the outcome will be, remains to be seen.
I am Anonymous, and like thousands of other men and woman, mothers and husbands sat at computers in homes and offices around the world, I am adding my one small voice to many voices, so that we might be heard:
The Internet belongs to us, and we want it to stay that way
Many voices? According to Berkow's article, they didn't have the numbers to bring down Amazon.com, which might mean many of the group's members are realizing that they have gone too far. Aside from demonstrating historical ignorance, anon9001's comment shows that Anonymous, a group which claims to fight against perceived tyranny, is itself tyrannical. How else are we supposed to interpret the final line of that comment? Only tyrants speak in such absolutes. The internet wasn't created for only them, and they have no reasonable claim to the "information superhighway."
So what does one say about Anonymous? What are their motivations? While members like anon9001 claim to be defenders of liberty, they are very selective about who's rights they choose to defend. The truth is that to Anonymous, rights only belong to those they believe deserve them. Last time I checked, neither Sarah Palin nor Gene Simmons, a past target of the group's attacks, is wanted on sexual assault charges in Sweden, let alone the various charges Assange and his group are likely to face for leaking sensitive information. How is it that this serial offender, as John Perazzo from FrontPageMag.com pointed out earlier this year, worthy of any support, let alone theirs? It isn't just myself who recognizes this hypocrisy though. Returning to the attacks on Gene Simmons, as a spokesman for the Motion Picture Association of America stated, "It's troubling that these groups seem more concerned about the rights of those who steal and copy films, music, books, and other creative resources than the rights of American workers who are producing these products."
It isn't just individual rights that Anonymous threatens with these campaigns, but by supporting WikiLeaks, they are also attacking those who defend the democratic values and norms enshrined in various constitutions throughout the Western world. anon9001 and other Anonymous members are downright self-righteous, believing that their defense of WikiLeaks, which is not only undermining American diplomacy, as Michelle Malkin has pointed out, but the war effort in Afghanistan by exposing Afghan informants, is somehow justified. Do they not understand that the leaking of this information has put these Afghanis, as well as their families, at risk to Taliban retaliation? It is clear they don't. Anonymous is dedicated to a "means justifies the ends" approach, and if defending WikiLeaks, which may already have blood on its hands as a result of releasing these sensitive documents, is seen as beneficial in their fight against all forms of censorship, then it doesn't matter who suffers. No reasonable person could justify this, but then again, this group is far from reasonable isn't it?
Operation: Payback is far from the watershed moment in history anon9001 claims it to be as it has failed to do anything but get a mention in media. This is, however, not taking into account one of the unintended consequences of this campaign; There will now be additional pressure put on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), who are already conducting an investigation into this group for its attack on U.S. Copyright Office, to bring those responsible for these latest attacks to justice. It should come as no surprise that a group which pays homage to Guy Fawkes, the leader of the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605 and inspiration for Alan Moore's V, the anarchist terrorist from the graphic novel V for Vendetta, would eventually come to the attention of law enforcement. Anonymous' latest actions are well beyond that of simple cyber-bullying. These kind of attacks are as acts of cyberterrorism. It doesn't matter whether or not this campaign was well intentioned, it crossed legal lines and Anonymous will most likely be facing additional federal charges for these attacks.
In conclusion, what Operation: Payback does is exposes Anonymous as an immature and misguided group of hackers, but that isn't the extent of their faults. They're hypocritical, arrogant and downright dangerous, having moved from cyber-bullying to outright cyberterrorism. Anonymity will not protect these self-righteous self-appointed protectors of the internet freedom and now they will pay the price for their crimes. If the FBI can track homegrown Islamic terrorists, as they recently demonstrated with the arrest of Muhammed Hussain, an Islamic convert who was planning on blowing up a military recruitment center, they most certainly can infiltrate an internet-based group of anarchists.
No matter how noble Anonymous wants to portray itself as, they've always been more like children than champions… Pathetic…
UPDATE: A Fox News report from Shepard Smith reveals that a 16-year-old boy was arrested in the Netherlands for his part in Operation: Payback. I figured the FBI wouldn't be the only law enforcement agency involved, but I did think that the first arrests would be in the United States considering that they already have an ongoing investigation into Anonymous following the group's attack on the U.S. Copyright Office.

The Voices of the Victims North American Tour will reprise some of the themes and tactics of the 2012 Caravan for Peace [2] (aggressively engage the debate in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada on how to best resolve the drug war crisis in our three neighboring countries, specifically as it relates to the horrible violence in Mexico and mass incarceration in the North), but in a much more focused and trimly scaled mobilization. It will again bring Javier Sicilia, along with drug war victims and Mexican opinion leaders on a 10-city tour in the United States and Canada from October 22-Nov 16. The tour will re-activate and energize the Caravan coalition, build on recent policy momentum, and harmonize the Mexican voice with the calls for drug policy reform across the hemisphere.
Since the Caravan ended in September, its core issues - from guns and immigration to drug policy - have been politically dynamic. Immigration reform legislation is now being seriously debated in US Congress for the first time in six years. Gun safety legislation has stalled after a major effort, but will likely come back to the fore. And importantly, citizens in Colorado and Washington voted to regulate marijuana. The effects of these victories are seismic for reform in Mexico. But Mexico is not alone. The discussion about potential alternatives to the current drug policy regime has gone from quiet whispers to more assertive calls for action in many countries across the hemisphere.
We wish to see all of this important momentum continue, to build on the opportunities, connections, positive energy, and real world organizing potential.
The Voices of the Victims North American Tour will visit:
Denver, CO Oct. 23-25
Seattle, WA Oct. 26
Vancouver, BC Oct. 27
SF Bay Area Oct. 30
Tucson, AZ Nov. 1-2
Toronto, ON Nov. 4
Ottawa, ON Nov. 5
Chicago, IL Nov. 6-7
Los Angeles, CA Nov. 8 -10

Reviews of this property
Nice modest apartment in a great location, very nice host. Recommended!
Nette bescheidene Wohnung in einer super Lage, sehr netter Gastgeber. Empfehlenswert!
Warning, this review applies to the offer 8X7D3CBG because we have been rebooked on request (this house was being renovated). Renovated apartment in the heart of Montmartre, close to Sacre Coeur. To participate in the nightlife, you have to open the window, because trendy bars / restaurants are right under / beside / opposite the apartment. Even if the window hold a lot, it is very noisy in the house. Very good kitchen equipment, cleaning agents are present. A towel per person plus another we found a little bit. For parking, the area is not suitable to 19.00 clock is the parking max. Allowed 2 hours, parking garages cost about 30, - € / day. Metro and shopping options are within walking distance.
Achtung, diese Bewertung gilt für die Offerte 8X7D3CBG, da wir nach Absprache umgebucht worden sind (diese Wohnung wurde gerade renoviert). Renovierte Wohnung im Herzen von Montmarte, in unmittelbarer Nähe zu Sacré Coeur. Um am Nachtleben teilzunehmen, muss man nur das Fenster öffnen, denn angesagte Bars/Restaurants liegen direkt unter/neben/gegenüber der Wohnung. Auch, wenn die Fenster eine Menge abhalten, ist es sehr unruhig im Haus. Sehr gute Küchenausstattung, Reinigungsmittel sind vorhanden. Pro Person ein Handtuch plus ein weiteres fanden wir etwas wenig. Zum Parken ist das Gebiet nicht geeignet, bis 19.00 Uhr ist das Parken max. 2 Stunden erlaubt, Parkhäuser kosten ca. 30,-- €/Tag. Metro und Einkaufmöglichkeiten sind zu Fuß gut zu erreichen.
A very charming apartment located in the lovely district of Montmartre. It is not big, but clean, authentic and bed linen and towels. Particularly nice hosts very helpful!
Een heel charmant appartement midden in de leuke wijk Montmartre. Het is niet groot, maar schoon, authentiek en voorzien van beddengoed en handdoeken. Bijzonder aardige hosts die heel behulpzaam zijn!
Nice, small, clean apartment - located very central. In August, free parking on the doorstep possible. The only downside: With the windows open it is - even at night - loudly.
Schöne, kleine, saubere Wohnung - super zentral gelegen.
Im August freies Parken vor der Haustür möglich.
Einziger Nachteil: Bei offenem Fenster ist es - auch nachts - laut.
Reviews for this host's other properties
We really liked the apartment. It is located in a rather quiet street and since it was about 29 degrees outside, the apartment was cool. But, when we arrived at home, we have bites from bedbugs and we can not recommend to rent this apartment until they have fixed the problem, which we can read about in other rewiews.
The luminaires in the bathroom and the little bedroom where not ok. The refrigerator was very small and the kitchen was not in the dimension of cooking food.
Sue behaved very well. She was in contact with us all the time until we got to Paris, by email, she was very flexible with the check-in and check-out time and besides that she transferred us to a better and larger apartment, also in Montmartre, because the Studio in Place du Tertre, Sacré-Coeur that we had hired had been a serious water leak some days before and the repair work was not done for our arrival.
Claude was very kind and nice and there was no problem with our schedule for check-in and check-out time (11:00 p.m. and 05:00 a.m.) Besides he gave us a lot of information about Montmartre, the coolest neighborhood in Paris.
We had a really nice stay. The host are really sweet and helpful. The apartment were perfect for our family.
It's a very nice apartment and the area around is great! We have a lovely stay in Paris and Sue and her team are very nice and helpful!
Perfect !! the host was very helpfull and the appartement couldn´t be in a better place.
This year we are married for 40 years. We want to celebrate this with my childeren.
We looked for months for an appartment with 3 bedrooms and enough space for the 6 of us. Unfortunately we didn't get the appartment we have booked because there was a water damage.
I understand that those things can happen.
That's why we are placed in this appartment on rue the gabrielle.
It is a 2 bedroom appartment. The host said there are beds for 8 people. I don't agree. An adult can not sleep on the beda upstairs. The matrasses are very very thin. And you lie down on a wooden plank.
The sofabed is very very bad. You lie down in a hole and there are stains everywhere. You even can't sit normal on it without getting a pain in the back. The blankets smelss like wet dog and the appartment was not very clean.
Unfortunately the host (Claude/Kloot) was talks very agressive. He was not thinking in solutions. The only thing he said was look at the view.
You must know that in the night my eyes are closed and I really don't care about the view. The only thing I care the is the quallity of my bed.
He also said a couple time that when we don't like it we must pack our bags and go to a hotel.
It was not very nice.
When we asked for another bed we get an air matress that was broken. The host said nothing about a payback for this dissapointing stay.
The possitve thing about this appartment is the view. It's really nice. Maybe for 4 people this appartment is good but certainly not for 8 people.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

I ordered a couple of these. I'll paint them to standard. They should be lighter than ones made out of wood I hope.

The girth has fewer ropes/lines. Plus it rides just under the belt.
This is awesome! I'm starting my Bo katan sculpts tommorow. We are going to do vacformed kits. My wife is just about Bo's size in real life (except the long neck) should be fun!
One thing you'll learn on tdh is you use whatever soft parts crazy4bobafett says.
Guys I've been looking at images for her costume. I honestly think that there isn't a secondary sleeve on the jumpsuit. I believe the sleeve is to the vest just more of a slim shirt sleeve than the customary Curved Short Boba sleeve.
This is the thing with animated versus real life images, its left to personal interpretation.
I go through this all the time making costumes.
I always lean toward functionality because you have to wear it! Its not drawn on you...
The reason I suggested a unitard (bodysuit)and leggings is it would make more sense to have two pieces since you are a girl wearing the costume, and if you do indeed need to use the restroom well. Why I have a zipper in the waist of my Boba jumpsuit.
Anyhow I was just reading a bit here and thought I'd mention my reasoning.
Thanks Nick!
That is a good point... and I know my oldest daughter can't be at a con for as long as me and not have to pee sometime.
Thanks crazy4bobafett. My kid's bladder isn't all that big either.
When Crazy4BF speaks...you best be listening! She IS the Collective voice of the "soft parts gods"!
Also thanks for the tip crazy4BobaFett, also great idea! I actually was already thinking of making the bodysuit in 2 parts and then let the belt cover the transition. Originally my reason was that 2 parts (at least for me) would be better to come by and being more fitting everywhere over the body (sorry if my English isn't so great, but don't know how else to discribe it haha) at the same time then with a full bodysuit. But indeed it's also handy when having to use the restroom, since that also always is my problem when wearing a flightsuit for my TIE
Besides the fact that thy finally made a girl with armor that's ba!
Well I got a unitard and leggings from a dance store in white. The top was ok but the leggings did not translate well in my opinion. While there they showed me a catalogue with full body long sleeve mock turtle neck suits that can come in a charcoal grey or a color called gasoline. Both look similar in color to Bo. I am going to see if I can exchange them
The leggings were almost translucent and screamed swan lake.I was disappointed but hopefully I can exchange it as well as return the dyes I bought.
I was taking some screencaps and noticed this little girl
this is NOT bo katan... may have some more girls on our hands!
Those are the "Night Owl's". Bo's team of female Mandos.
I'm not sure if its her, but here's another pic of that same girl.
Thats the one I saw. I think they are different people. The one in the corner, after zooming in, I think has more of a flat top.
Last edited by warhawk50; Mar 9, 2012 at 9:09 AM.
Tough mando girls!! awesome!
it looks like they may have bo's abandoned concept art color scheme.
AFAIK the Other Mando-girls except for Bo goes with that standart sceme.
Bo has another sceme just to let her stand out as the leader type of the squat i guess. Like Pre Vizsla has a markable Colorstyle (and later the helmet) of his own just to stand out of his goons. A Typical Movie and Cartoon law Make the LeaderGuy stand out of his goons. Not like in modern Armies were Squadleaders and Officers take of their ranksigns in a Combatzone to blend in with all those others Grunt, so that Sharpshooters need to wait until they give orders and handsigns to mark them dead ;-)
Here's how Bo-Katan should look like in a real person.
you missed the t-shirt/vest ;-)

Pork and Sons by Stéphane Reynaud is the new authority on all things pig, with recipes like Bayonne Ham with Toasted Nuts and Piquillo Peppers, Barbecued Suckling Pig, and Wild Boar Chops with Tart Red Fruits.
by Stéphane Reynaud
Pork is the world's most widely eaten meat, the heart and soul of every charcuterie, and many a culinarian's obsession.
From head to hoof, and all the diverse and flavorful meat cuts in between, the pig is the most versatile and efficient animal raised for food. And no one knows more about the selection, preparation and cooking of pork than French chef and restaurateur Stéphane Reynaud.
Coming from a long line of pig butchers and farmers in rural France, Reynaud certainly knows his stuff. This spring Reynaud shares his affection, recipes and deep knowledge of the pig in Pork and Sons. The winner of the 2005 French Gourmand Cookbook Award, Pork and Sons celebrates the swine in all its forms, from slaughter to supper. The U.S. release of this unique and remarkable cookbook introduces Americans to generations-worth of expertise and love of this delectable meat.
Interspersed with humorous hand-drawn sketches and over 200 evocative color photographs, Pork and Sons provides insight into the history of the pig, those who raise them, and of course how to flavor, cook and transform pork into an array of mouth-watering dishes. With 150 simple yet flavorful recipes that encompass the whole hog, Pork and Sons includes chapters on ham, pates and terrines, sausage, roasting, barbecuing, entertaining, and wild boar, with recipes for Warm Sausage and Puy Lentil Salad with Herb Marinade; Proscuitto, Arugula and Parmesan Crostini; Pork Chops with Saint-Marcellin Cheese; Parfait of Pig's Liver and Muscatel; Barbecued Suckling Pig and many other delectable creations. Also provided are complete lexicons of sausage and ham, top sources of pork in the U.S., and a helpful list of alternative ingredients to those readily available in Europe, so cooks can use Pork and Sons wherever they live.
While this quintessential "pig" cookbook celebrates the delicious qualities of pork in all its myriad forms, it also offers a rare, personal glimpse into a day-in-the-life of a small family business in rural France. Part cookbook and part scrapbook, Pork and Sons spills over with warmth and playful charm in its celebration of community, family and food. Reynaud introduces us to the people in his village, including Eric the Pig Farmer, Aime the Butcher, Bibi the Bistro Owner, among the cast of characters. He even takes us to a traditional pig killing ceremony in Saint-Agrave.
Stéphane Reynaud is co-owner of the restaurant Villa 9 Trois in Montreuil, France. Pork and Sons is his first cookbook.

Wow...what a quilt! It's indescribably beautiful. I can't wait to see the finished project. Beautiful.
I'm so sorry about your friend. I lost one of my best friends to cancer a few years ago and another friend this past Sunday night. If only they could find a cure for cancer! Hugs !
