As a trading centre at the mouth of the Rio Douro it is the second largest city after Lisbon with over 320.500 inhabitants. The city has a number of distinctive atmospheres and this is very evident when comparing the various parts of the city. The quarter along the riverside known as the Ribeira is full of narrow twisting streets with houses once painted or tiled in colourful facades, and full of the bustling energy of working people during the day and the liveliness of busy " tascas" and restaurants at night.
if you need any additional services or advices just let me know.

Reviews of this property
The Apartment is very central and beautiful with some extras like washing machine and iron.
The owners are very friendly and helpfully.
I really recommend this for a stay in Porto.
Even tgough we didn't meet Tomás personally we're very happy about his attitude and the place itself (clean, comfy and really nicely located). Tomás' instructions he'd left at the apartment turned out to be comprehensive and extremely helpful.
The apartment is really nice, located in the center of Porto, good restaurants and bars are located nearby. Tomas managed the arrival very good - he couldn't be there, but gave much information so we found the aparment very quickly.
What you should know: The bed is not comfortable. Many people slept there, you feel the elastic spring. Also it is located in a shooping street. If you want a quiet apartment in the summer, you should pick a different offer. When the windows are open, the life of Porto is hearable ;-)
Anyway, it's a good starting point for a Porto trip.
We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. The location is great, the apartment was very clean and Tomas made sure we had a friendly welcome with lots of information and good advice.
Thanks Tomas!
Thomas a lovely person !!! and central apartment and it is fine.
Tomás una persona encantadora!!! y el apartamento céntrico y está muy bien.
Really nice and clean apartment near the city center. We only used the metro to get there from the airport. Further we have walked and rent a bike to see Porto. I would definetely recommend Tomas, his apartment and the tips to visit!
My girlfriend and I were spending a weekend in Porto week and were delighted with the city and the apartment. An apartment conveniently located close to everything and located in a good area for dining and going out for drinks. The apartment is very cozy and quite spacious. It is perfect for a couple. To take one but the bathroom is small, especially the toilet area. But it is an experience we recommend as well the treatment we got from Thomas and Martha was excellent, very attentive to detail. Definitely will repeat!
Mi novia y yo estuvimos en Porto pasando un finde semana y quedamos encantados con la ciudad y el apartamento. Un apartamento muy bien situado cerca de todo y situado en una buena zona para cenar y salir a tomar algo. El apartamento es muy acogedor y bastante amplio. Es perfecto para una pareja. Por poner un pero, el baño se hace pequeño, sobre todo la zona del wc. Pero es una experiencia que recomendamos ya que además el trato que obtuvimos por parte de Tomás y de Marta fue excelente, muy atentos a los detalles. ¡Repetiremos sin duda!
Thank Tomás and Marta!
We can only recommend this property. The pictures keep what they promise. The apartment is very centrally located, so we could explore the city very well on foot. Marta gave us a very warm welcome and gave us useful information. We enjoyed our stay in Porto very.
Best Regards,
Katharina, Laura and Mareike
Danke Tomás und Marta!
Wir können diese Unterkunft nur empfehlen. Die Photos halten das, was sie versprechen. Das Appartement liegt sehr zentral, so dass wir die Stadt sehr gut zu Fuß erkunden konnten. Marta hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen und uns hilfreiche Informationen gegeben. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in Porto sehr genossen.
Liebe Grüße,
Katharina, Laura und Mareike
The apartment we liked, is as shown in the photos is all pretty new, has everything you need and the location is very good, you can walk anywhere. On arrival we indicated many places to eat dinner ... everything ok.
El apartamento nos gustó mucho, es como se muestra en las fotos y está todo bastante nuevo, tiene todo lo que necesites y la localización es muy buena, puedes ir andando a donde quieras. A la llegada nos indicaron muchos sitios para comer, cenar, ... todo ok.
The apartment is very well located, 10 minutes walk from the Trindade Metro Station, close to shops and restaurants, and especially its location allows for virtually all walking tours. The apartment itself is beautiful, with wooden floors, very spacious and well equipped, very comfortable sofa! (2 small suggestions to Tomas: juicer in the kitchen, and add a small coffee table in the living room ;-)). Despite the single glazing, the apartment was quiet and we managed to heat it to our liking. Small flat on bedding that should be better. Finally Tomas Marta and her friend were the perfect hosts, welcoming, available and full of information. I highly recommend.
L'appartement est très bien situé, à 10 mn à pied de la station de métro Trindade, proche de tous commerces et restaurants, et surtout sa localisation permet de faire quasiment toutes les visites à pied. L'appartement en lui-même est joli, sur parquet, très spacieux et bien équipé, le canapé très confortable! (2 petites suggestions pour Tomàs: un presse-agrume dans la cuisine, et ajouter une petite table basse dans le salon ;-)). Malgré le simple vitrage, l'appartement était calme et nous avons réussi à le chauffer à notre convenance. Petit bémol sur la literie qui mériterait d'être de meilleure qualité. Enfin Tomàs et son amie Marta sont des hôtes parfaits, accueillants, disponibles et pleins de bons conseils. Je recommande fortement.

Just a thought. One worth 5 cents, me thinks.

I think a commercial forum would be nice.
Gulf Shores, AL
One problem might be the fine line between commercial and noncommercial practices, which often overlap, but the focus on this forum could be on income production and cost/time efficiencies, other subjects more of concern to those making their primary income from bees.
What would not be appropriate is a lot of negative feedback/debate from those with the time to micromanage their colonies. What is quite feasible when you have 50 colonies is impossible when you have 2000. Commercial outfits are well aware of the impact some shortcuts might have on the bees, but time is the resource they run out of first. The time constraints of large operations is one aspect least understood by hobbyists.
This forum might have more than moderate moderation needs.
"The UNKNOWN, huh? That would be SNORBERT ZANGOX over in Waycross."
Sent a PM to Barry...will see if the postman delivers it.
Well, I guess we are out of luck with a Commercial/Pollination forum. I have PMed and I know they have had to have seen this thread and the response, but so far nothing from those who run the site so I guess it ain't gonna happen. :confused:
Well, if we can't get a forum going, I suggest a change to the rules. Add a rule that if a thread is dirrected toward commercial beeks, only commercial beeks, or those who have been commercial beeks are allowed to answer.
Another option is to ask each member to place their hive count in their tag. And ask the commercial guys who respond to a question to add in something like "from a commercial point of view" or something like that. All we really need is to get the commercial beeks more involved and get them to stand out. Maybe a ranking system?
As for those who who target commercial beeks. The only thing that I have seen so far is those who get down on them for moving their hives so much, but maybe I've missed other gripes. Anyway, I think we should all keep in mind that these guys/gals do this for a living. They know the risks involved in moving hives and stressing bees. And I'm sure they spend as much time as they can trying to keep their source of income healthy. If they have managed to stay in business, then they must be doing something right. Babying our hives is a luxery, not a nessessity.
I find this "bees need our constant attention to survive" to be very widespread amoung hobbist. Even in my own club. We are told not to assume that the queen is Ok just by lifting the lid and making a judgement call, that we should dig in and find her on every visit, and that each visit should be no more than two weeks apart. Personally, my opinion is that if someone gets into the broodnest more than twice a year without a good reason, he/she is disrupting them far too much. I just make sure that they have good equipment, a young healthy queen in the spring, no brood diseases, give them plenty of space, harvest, then make sure they are ready for winter. If I get into the broodnest at other times, its because I'm re-queening, something is wrong, I'm raising queens, or I'm making splits/nucs. If I open them up at any other time, its just a quick check to see if the hive looks healthy, and if they need more space. Maybe I'm wrong, but I suspect that this what the commercial beeks do as well.
Ok sorry for the rant, I'm done now.
Commercial beekeepers are beekeepers too. And many of the hobbyists and sideliners have lots of experience behind them which gives them a certain expertise equal to the knowledge of many commercial beekeepers. So even if there isn't a Comm. Forum we'll get by alright.
Don't give up your dream of having such a Forum. It hasn't been rejected yet. Has it? Silence isn't the same as rejection.
Mark Berninghausen
sqkcrk, how true a statement about silence! I've been away from the board a lot lately and have not been on top of some requests.
At first reading of this thread, I'm a little concerned that a commercial forum may only amount to a place for "private" humor to take place among comrades. - That's for Keith!
Then I realized that if it ever got out of hand, Keith has offered to be the first to get thrown under!
Seriously, I'm always open to suggestions about the forums and a commercial forum is a possibility. The last thing I want happening is to create negative division among the members. This has the potential to do that. If someone or several want to come up with a description of what this forum would be, that would be a good start for me. I'll keep checking up here.
Regards, Barry
Copied and modified from my post #45 this forum
I think a commercial forum would deal with subjects from a commercial point of view, not just have posts from commercial beeks.
...the focus on this forum could be on income production and cost/time efficiencies, and other subjects more of concern to those making their primary income from bees.
Commercial outfits are well aware of the impact some shortcuts might have on the bees, discussions of pros/cons of certain practices on the various scales of operations might be helpful.
While I think anyone should be able to post, it wouldn't be anything but divisive for those with no commercial experience trying to impose unrealistic methods or ideas on those with far greater experience. It is a given someone with 10 hives can babysit them to a much greater degree than a commercial operator can afford to. If a hobbyist is shocked by some of the less than micromanaging practices, they should refrain from posting to that effect unless they "been there, done that" and have something practical to offer.
There are hobbyists who know more about bees than some commercial beekeepers (many of the small sideliners on this board could definitely teach me a thing or three ), I don't visualize this forum being about general beekeeping advice. Knowing how to run bees is not the focus here, it would be more geared towards how to run LOTS of bees at one time.
But as I state this, I think I am thinking of operations such as ours. In fact, there are different models that could produce primary income, such as focusing on retail sales.
Very well said sheri.

Well shoot Barry the cats already out of the bag.
I think alot of folks would get a kick out of the way we do things on a larger scale. It is a different way of keeping for sure.
So does this mean the new forum is up and running now.
Wow...thanks for getting this up and running you guys. Thanks Barry for giving it consideration.
I think this is going to be of benefit to a number of people....including me.
I am alway ready to lend a hand,doing it organicway is the way I doit.maybe not a typical comercial beeker way. ask and you shall recieve.
Glad to see this for us to be able to share our ideas with people in the same boat.
Thanks alph6 for suggesting this Forum and thanks Barry for setting it up.
Find a need and fill it.
Mark Berninghausen
I have about 40 hives (before 20 of them die this winter), produced and sold 2.1 tons of honey last year, and have been doing so for over 35 years.
Am I qualified and allowed to read and post in this forum?
Oh yeah, I own a one ton flatbed and two Bobcats.

How much efficiency do ratepayers need—and utilities want?

How much efficiency do ratepayers need—and utilities want?
When the applause dies down, the smart grid may turn out to be its own worst enemy. The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) explained this irony in comments it filed in May, after the FERC asked the industry for policy ideas on the smart grid.
On one hand, noted CAISO, the smart grid can improve reliability by "linking together more parts of the transmission and distribution system," thereby creating "greater visibility over the electric grid and helping grid operators localize outage disruptions and prevent cascading failures."
But by creating more linkages, said CAISO, system security can become weaker, increasing the risk of outages from "ill-intentioned actions."
As CAISO notes, these additional linkages can force grid-system operators like ISOs and RTOs to become responsible for maintaining the security of systems that are beyond their control.
"Without proper regard for cyber security," it warns, "the smart grid poses the danger of creating a one-step-forward, two steps-back circumstance."
In its proposed smart-grid policy statement, FERC maps out the danger, which begins at the point where utilities connect their marketing operations to the Internet:
"While typically not connecting their more sensitive control center systems directly to the Internet, many entities have nevertheless upgraded those systems to use Internet-based protocols and technologies. This, coupled with the fact that the non-Internet-connected control center operations may be connected to the same corporate network as the Internet-connected marketing systems, means that there may be an indirect Internet vulnerability to those sensitive control systems."
In short, the smart grid leaks, and these leaks could prove fatal.
To counter the risk, FERC has proposed to advise NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) to pay strict attention to cyber dangers when it carries out its mission under section 1305 of the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) to develop a framework of technical standards to assure the interoperability of various smart-grid elements.
FERC suggests that NIST must "take steps" to assure that each interoperability standard and protocol is consistent with both the cyber security and reliability mandates of EISA, as well as with the existing reliability standards approved by FERC under the Federal Power Act (see Smart Grid Policy Statement and Action Plan, Docket PL09-4, March 19, 2009, 126 FERC ¶61,253.)
FERC's policy statement suggests the commission will expect NIST to consider characterizing smart-grid assets as critical cyber assets that must conform to the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards (CIP-002 through CIP-009) finalized last year in FERC Order 706. But consider that the smart grid, as defined by Congress, includes virtually the entire bulk power system and anything attached to it, running the gamut from transformers to toasters.
It's clear that CIP characterization could create a compliance nightmare. The Springfield (Oregon) Utility Board warns in comments it filed with FERC, such a scenario "exponentially increases the potential responsibilities of utilities."
Allegheny Power observes, in addition, that if CIP standards are extended to residential, commercial and industrial customers, then the

United in Orange: Broncos fans ecstatic team is headed to Super Bowl XLVIII
Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks February 2 in New York
DENVER, Colo. - Broncos fans described the AFC Championship as a phenomenal game taking their beloved team to Super Bowl XLVIII.
Fans were beyond ecstatic Sunday afternoon as they poured out of Sports Authority Field at Mile High. They've been waiting 15 years to see the Broncos play in the Super Bowl again.
"We already knew that the thunder was coming and we brought it! And who's going to the Super Bowl, baby?" said fan Lucinda Gallegos from Pueblo.
"The fans were absolutely outstanding! It was one of the best games I've ever been to," said fan Greg Daurio also from Pueblo.
It was an experience they'll never forget.
"We were sitting at the top tier right above the end zone. When Peyton Manning was coming down to score that touchdown, it was awesome," said fan Eric Littlejohn.
The "Pueblo Posse" fan group hasn't missed a home game since the early 90s.
"Ran through the family. We've been here every time. The best tailgating ever," said Al Aragon.
Four of his family members, through a lucky lottery pock, will be going to the biggest game of the year to watch the Broncos.
"You can't explain it. I was in tears the whole game . Come back, voice is gone and it's just go Broncos baby!" said Super Bowl ticket-holder Anthony Rodriguez.
Fans will be cheering loud and proud "United in Orange" on February 2 when the Denver Broncos take on the Seattle Seahawks at Super Bowl XLVIII in New York.

One in particular that I liked was Wrecks to Riches. The premise of the show was to take a muscle car era beast and restore it using today's technology. This is what I will base my build on. I will be taking a muscle bike era machine and restore it with today's technology. I want to build this bike the way I think it would have been done had the technology been available.

Thank you Mark, great ideea, i will check amazon.

By the way, i hope amazon will send the dvd because sometimes they do not because i am in europe....but i can check the amazon.uk

Re: Video book -question for jamie
Welcome to the forum Michelle100
The DVD's that are on sale are the DVD's of hhe television shows .
The books that are on sale are mostly the recipes from the TV shows .
The books generally have a few more recipes in them than were on the show.
There are videos of recipes on this site ( go to info bar at the top of this page )and move the cursor over the words ,that gives you extra choices you can then click on.
Sorry I can't give you definite direction at the moment am using my phone and I find it awkward searching through from the phone !
There is an extensive recipe section on this site but not all are Visio recipes.
I think there are also some clips/ recipes on YouTube that you could look up.
Also there is a facebook site that recipes and links to recipes get posted on.
My nephew learned a lot about cooking from the Jamie Oliver nintendo gameboy cooking game , I have not seen it myself but think it had Visio clips as well as recipes , pictures and photos.
Hope this helps

New Zealand speedway fans have already seen speedway champion Donny Schatz race at Western Springs Speedway this year, and are in for another treat this weekend.
The four-time World of Outlaws sprintcar champion had the pedigree and the skills to win the World Sprintcar Classic last weekend, but fellow American Jonathan Allard took the trophy home.
Schatz won the race last year, but couldn't get the job done this time. "Any race you go to you hope to win, but some nights just aren't that way," Schatz told Driven.
"Jonathan did a great job. At one point I thought we'd be okay, but his car went by and he threw everything at it."
Schatz is looking forward to redeeming himself at the World Sprintcar Classic tonight, so the rest of the field better be on their game.
"I wouldn't say losing last weekend has got my tail feathers up, but the expectations are we will do our best to make sure we can get ourselves in the position of getting that victory.
It's a long way to come and not win a race.
"It doesn't matter where you go, there are great racecar drivers all over the world. It's definitely no different here. The drivers here are very professional and do a phenomenal job. It's not easy to stay ahead of the curve."
The 35-year-old from North Dakota has been around speedway since he was five, when his father - a former racer - took him to a sprintcar meeting. He's passionate about the sport.
"That's why I'm here. It's the passion that drives most racers. I've done a little bit of all the parts of the sport and the most fun part of it for me is doing what I'm doing right now - driving.
"Winning titles doesn't mean you want to stop winning. It's like having a bad habit you can't get rid of."
Schatz has a reputation as a man who doesn't show too much emotion but to him racing cars is no smiling matter.
"It's all about focus. Sure it's entertainment, but what provides the entertainment is putting the game face on, getting serious and being victorious.
"You have to stay focused if you want to be successful in this game.
"I don't know you'd ever look at it as a job in the normal sense. We're very fortunate to be able to do the things we love to do."
While the midgets put on a show with their lightning speed and agility, it's the sprintcars - the monsters of the speedway circuit - that make the heart rate pick up.
They may not be the most aesthetically pleasing racecars, with huge offset wings and different sized tyres, but they look spectacular when everything is working properly.

The storm has forced the cancellation of nearly 10,000 flights over the past few days — and a columnist for Daily Finance, Peter Cohan, notes that many of these flights were canceled even before the snow started.
Cohan's flight was one of them. "On Sunday, my family had been expecting to fly back home to Boston from Milwaukee," he writes. "But Frontier Airlines … canceled our flight, cheerfully notifying us that we could catch another one five days later." Rather than sitting around in Milwaukee for the better part of a week, Cohan and his family rented a car and drove home instead. Even though his plane would have arrived before the worst of the blizzard that hit Boston, Cohan instead had to shell out extra money for the rental car, gas, hotels and meals for the two days it took him to drive across the country.
The early axing of Cohan's flight is part of a growing trend that New York Times aviation reporter Matthew Wald calls "pre-cancellation." Hoping to keep their planes from being stranded at airports where bad weather is expected, many airlines are opting not to fly to those airports at all, instead canceling the flights and sending the planes to other unaffected destinations. It's good news for some travelers, as Wald explains:
"The advantage is suppose you have a plane that was supposed to go from LaGuardia to Charlotte to Orlando, if they [had] flown into New York, they could not have gotten back to Charlotte and then they couldn't gotten from Charlotte to Orlando. This way, at least, they can fly back and forth between Charlotte and Orlando."
This strategy also helps protect the airlines from financial losses by keeping people moving (and seats full) instead of leaving planes stranded for days at snow-struck airports. And it makes it easier for the airlines to avoid the hefty fines that the Department of Transportation has instituted for planes that sit more than three hours on a tarmac — up to $27,500 per passenger.
But is this strategy fair to passengers like Cohan, whose plane could have arrived safely before the blizzard hit? Is his anger justified, or are the airlines simply making the best of a bad situation? Let us know what you think in the comments.

HISTORICAL NOTE: Air Conditioning in Old Town
Only who lived in an historical centre can know: thanks to the old building technique, walls are massive and thick; this makes indoor temperature spontaneously fresh, even in the hottest summer days. In the day the fan can move the air to refresh it even furtherly, while in the night light & fresh air comes from outside via the "persiane" (ancient wooden shelter over the windows, characterized by a special shape; it's our traditional method of indoor air conditioning, coming from Middle Ages). You will feel comfortable anytime, always without needing to close the windows or to turn on an electric air conditioner.
TIP: Long Stays in Florence
Florence is a good base to live for a couple of weeks and more, exploring Tuscany and Italy with one day trips as a local resident does.
This is because of the following facts:
1) The location of Florence is strategically placed in the center of the main point of interests which go from Rome to the Alps.
2) Regional railways are quite efficient here, and they let you arrive from the Firenze SMN Station to all the big cities and almost all the famous small towns of Tuscany in a short time. For example: Pisa 1 hour, Lucca 1h20min, Siena 1h30min.
3) National high speed trains - so comfortable! - connect Florence and the major cities of Italy in a flash. For example Bologna 40min, Rome 1h30min, Milan 1h45min, Venice 2h. And their price starts from 9 euro for any destination, if you book in advance.
Long stays in Florence have also another advantage: they make you feel the Florentine atmosphere in the most complete way, with all the shapes and shades that different days offer.
About my apartment, Natural Home: it is located in a quiet district of the historical centre, and the Firenze SMN Railway Station is in the centre too (in a busier district). This means that you can catch the trains to any Tuscan and Italian destination with only a nice short walk across the central pedestrian area - I usually do it in around 15-20 min.
House rulesOnly few obvious things:
1) treat the apartment as your home
2) damages or losses for any property caused by the guest are paied by the guest
3) enjoy Florence!
...sorry, based on experience I have to add one more rule: please do not fry. Otherwise the fried parfum will apply on the wooden furniture for some days after you :|

Reviews of this property
We had a great residence in Florence, thanks to Flavio for his attention, the house was excellent and very clean.
My daughter Naomi and me had a very good time in Florence. The hospitality of Flavio and Yukari was great and we got some nice suggestions. The apartment felt like home and that's important for Florence is so overwhelming that you need your rest.
we had a wonderfull stay in florence, the apartmend was located very central location. it was very clean and yukari and flavio were very nice and helpful. a visit to florence and the natural home is worth...
We had a great stay at Natural Home. Flavio and Yukari were very friendly and accommodating and the apartment was both very nice and extremely convenient for seeing the sights. Highly recommended.
The apartment is simple and functional, the advantage is the 5-minute walk into town. However, it is not a kettle, toaster, coffee maker. The owners are nice and friendly. It's quite noisy, since both sides of the roads are flat. All in all, highly recommended as good value for the peri-urban location.
Die Wohnung ist einfach und zweckmäßig, der Vorteil ist der 5-minütige Weg in die Stadt. Es ist jedoch weder ein Wasserkocher,Toaster, Kaffeemaschine vorhanden.
Die Vermieter sind nett und freundlich. Es ist recht laut, da sich zu beiden Seiten der Wohnung Straßen befinden. Alles in allem zu empfehlen, da für die stadtnahe Lage preiswert.
The apartment is very comfortable and familiar. Near the Ponte Vecchio, you have the opportunity to walk around everywhere, the medieval Florence permits. It 's beautiful for those who are not afraid to make a few more steps, the walk to the Belvedere, Piazzale Michelangelo and San Miniato al Monte. The environment is very clean, the bedroom, spacious, has two single beds, but can be combined: I brought a double sheet below, which was fine. A small kitchen. We had breakfast very good. The bathroom is small, lacks bidet (accessory strangely necessary only for Italians), the shower and the sink between the vater, it works well. The supermarket has a bench near Conad very fond. Spaces and solutions in the home have been well studied. Recommended to all those who do not need the Grand Hotel.
L'appartamento è molto confortevole, familiare. Vicino a Ponte Vecchio, si ha la possibilità di girare a piedi dappertutto, l'impianto medioevale di Firenze lo permette. E' bellissima per chi non ha paura di fare qualche passo in più, la passeggiata al Belvedere, piazzale Michelangelo, San Miniato al Monte. L'ambiente è molto pulito, la stanza da letto, spaziosa, ha due letti singoli, ma possono essere uniti: mi sono portato un lenzuolo matrimoniale da sotto, che è andato benissimo. Una piccola cucina attrezzata. Abbiamo fatto colazione molto bene. Il bagno è piccolo, manca di bidé (accessorio stranamente necessario solo per gli italiani), la doccia tra il vater e il lavandino, funziona bene. Il supermercato Conad vicino ha un banco molto ghiotto. Gli spazi e le soluzioni in casa sono stati ben studiati. Consigliabile a tutti coloro che non hanno bisogno del Grand Hotel.
The apartment is nice and clean, excellent value prezzo.Dotato everything you need, including a fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine almost new and intonsa.La location is really good and is located three minutes walk from the old bridge, in the heart of Florence. The owner is available and accurate. For fans of Litfiba is also close to their first recording studio in Via dei Bardi 32. Recommended and come back at all.
L'appartamento è curato e pulito, eccellente rapporto qualità prezzo.Dotato di tutto l'occorrente, compresa una cucina ben attrezzata e nuova ed una lavatrice pressoché intonsa.La posizione è davvero ottimale ed è situato a tre minuti a piedi da ponte vecchio, nel cuore di Firenze. Il proprietario è preciso e disponibile. Per I fan dei Litfiba è anche vicino al loro primo studio di registrazione, in via dei Bardi 32. Raccomandato e da tornarci assolutamente.
We had an wonderful experience we had at Natural Home. Flavio and Yukari were helpful, respectful, kind and all round lovely - qualities which are reflected through this apartment.
The place is exactly as in this photo's, with extra's that make for refreshing stay such as comfortable beds and clean, high quality bed linen. There is noise from passing traffic, but the place is otherwise a bit of breezy refuge away from the intensity bustling summer crowds.
A highlight for us was a early morning run along a path Flavio had recommended, and mnarked out for us on a map (amoungst other handy things). This place has been our best accomodation so far.
-I loved the little balcony to hang out your washing (and in my case a chance to live out some romantic ideal domestic european living..)
We are very happy that we decided to stay with Flavio and Yukari. Appartment was clean and just like in the pictures,It's just 3 minutes from ponte vecchio, lovely neighbourhood. The host are very helpful and so nice and hosbitable. I reccomend this place.
in a marvelous peace in the streets of the Oltrarno coast san giorgio away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy areas but at the same time close to everything ... the apartment is nice, clean and with everything necessary ... the owners were gracious and accommodating to our every rischiesta ... quality / price ratio excellent ... recommended ...
in un contesto meraviglioso nella pace dei vicoletti di costa san giorgio in oltrarno lontano dal caos delle zone più turistiche ma allo stesso tempo vicinissimo a tutto... l'appartemento è carino, pulito e con ogni cosa necessaria... i proprietari sono stati gentili e disponibili ad ogni nostra rischiesta... rapporto qualità/prezzo eccellente... consigliato...

MARTINEZ -- A washed-out and washed-up county road is about to be remade into a new, $5.5 million regional shoreline trail along the scenic Carquinez Strait, linking Central and West Contra Costa County.
On or before July 5, East Bay Regional Park District contractors will be begin rebuilding and converting 1.7 miles of Carquinez Scenic Drive into a hiking and riding trail between Martinez and the town of Port Costa.
The trail segment -- expected to open in fall 2014 -- will improve access to an often-overlooked area of hills, shoreline, natural parks and preserve south of the strait between San Francisco Bay and the Delta.
The project also will add a scenic segment to the region's Bay Trail, which eventually will encircle San Francisco and San Pablo bays.
"We are converting an old road the county doesn't want into a premier trail," said Jim Townsend, trails program manager for the park district. "This will be one of the most scenic trails in the Bay Area. The views of the water, bridges, the Bay and the Delta are just gorgeous."
Access is limited to much of the area along the Carquinez Strait because of its steep bluffs, narrow shoreline and few roads. In 1983, Contra Costa County permanently closed the stretch of Carquinez Scenic Drive after heavy storms and runoff caused sections to slide down the hills.
The demise of the road built in 1914 opened the door for a trail, a project that is neither cheap nor easy.
During a recent tour of the trail route east of Martinez, only about 3 feet of the road clung to the hillside in one spot. Not much more of the road remains in some other areas.
To develop the trail, contractors will rebuild hill sections and protect them against slides by driving tall pilings into the ground in nine locations and pouring concrete around them.
"It is a big and challenging project," said Dale McCourt, the park district's design and construction manager. "The technology to do it is proven."
The cracked pavement from the road will be removed and replaced by a 10-foot-wide paved trail with shoulders on each side.
Despite its closure long ago, the 1.7 miles of road is used regularly by joggers, hikers and cyclists. That is about to change. Fencing will be added to keep the public off the road during construction, and trespassers will be ticketed, said Emily Hopkins, a park district spokeswoman.
Some people have urged park officials to leave the road alone and let people continue riding and running on it, but officials say cyclists or hikers easily could fall off the steep bluffs at many points or trip and fall on broken and buckled pavement.
"It's extremely hazardous, and erosion continues to eat away at the road," said Ted Radke, a regional park board member from Martinez. "This project will make it safe for public use."
David Campbell, the East Bay Bicycle Coalition program manager, said the new trail is an important recreational and commuter cycling route connecting Central and West Contra Costa. "It gets people close to the shoreline," he said.
The park district and the county studied trail plans for years but lacked the funds to do anything.
A big breakthrough occurred in 2010 when the park district won a $10.2 million federal transportation grant, of which $3.5 million goes for the Carquinez Strait trail.
The park district also is getting $1 million of Contra Costa County Measure J transportation sales tax funds, $900,000 from another federal grant, and $400,000 from the California Coastal Conservancy.

Title: "Kameo™: Elements of Power"
Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
Developer: Rare Ltd.
Format: DVD for the Xbox® video game system
ESRB Rating: Pending
Availability: Spring 2004
Pricing: $49.99 (U.S.) estimated retail price
Product Overview: "Kameo" is a magical, epic adventure
full of magnificent exploration and intense combat. The future of the
world depends on Kameo, who must capture, grow and unleash a wide assortment
of incredible monsters to combat ever-present evil, and rescue her three
Elemental Ancestors from the Dark Troll King, who threatens the planet
and its wildlife. In true Rare Ltd. fashion, the world is wondrous and
immense to explore, the puzzles and challenges are brilliant, and the
monster-oriented combat and exploration is innovative and unique.
Key Features: • Innovative monster-based combat system. Kameo
has the unique ability to morph in real time into a wide variety of
incredible monsters, each with its own strengths and fighting style.
To fight the hordes of evil, players will strategically employ 18 elemental
monsters from each of the Six Elements of Power: Plant, Water, Rock,
Ice, Wind and Fire. They can choose a plant that boxes for up-close
combat, a rock monster to launch a silo of rocks, or a wind monster
that specializes in ground-to-air attacks. Fast-paced action, epic-style
battles and massive boss encounters will require players to think and
act quickly using their boundless monster repertoire.
• Monsters: essential to exploration. Monsters are not only key
for combat, they are vital tools to expand players' journey. Each
monster offers unique abilities that enable players to open up and safely
explore new areas. Intelligent use of monsters is critical to solving
puzzles and avoiding obstructions, traps and enemies. For example, players
can travel underground as a plant monster or light up dark areas using
a fire-based monster.
• Building an arsenal of monsters. Kameo's powers grow through
hunting and capturing a massive collection of monsters, but this is
no easy task. Players join forces with sidekick Meepo and use stealth,
quickness and puzzle-solving to capture these sneaky little creatures.
They grow their monsters and expand their monster arsenal as they increase
their ability to explore the world and defeat enemies and challenges.
• Epic adventure across an immense world. Players of "Kameo:
Elements of Power" explore a vast and magical world filled with
lush environments, thriving wildlife, wondrous creatures, clever puzzles
and big challenges. Gorgeous 3-D environments with sprawling hills,
fertile valleys and daunting lairs cover 20 fantasy-style locations.
Players can enter the dangerous Troll Castle and discover more than
30 areas to explore. As they journey through the expansive land, players
will ultimately take part in three amazing boss encounters.
• Wondrous fantasy world. As the story unfolds in storybook fashion,
players are immersed in a magnificent kingdom of monsters and magic
that is beautifully crafted to satiate the wildest imagination. The
rich story line, spectacular use of monsters, and epic journey will
completely and immediately connect players to a faraway land. Players
can archive their adventure in the Wotnot, a magical archiving book
featuring Ortho the Magician, by collecting monsters, more than 30 incidental
creatures and tons of useful objects.

A strategy for attractiveness
Incentive programs implemented
To encourage the presence of foreign students and researchers in our higher education establishments, France has taken several steps over the past years :
- Creation of a National Research Agency with a view to increasing the number of research projects.
- Creation of PRES (poles of research and higher education) which enable universities, grandes écoles and research organizations to pool resources and activities.
- Increased budget at the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research.
- Increased autonomy of universities, in accordance with the French law relative to the freedom and responsibility of universities, which authorizes universities to create foundations for private fundraising.
CampusFrance is the French operational structure dedicated to international mobility. Present in over one hundred foreign countries, CampusFrance centers work together with French establishments of higher education under the auspices of French embassies abroad. Their aim is to promote higher education among foreign students, in particular through education fairs. CampusFrance centers advise and guide foreign students who are planning to study in France, and are the dedicated point of contact for all administrative procedures prior to students' arrival in France.
French-Brazilian Week of Higher Education
Organized jointly by CampusFrance, the French Embassy and CenDoTec, this event was held from October 2-8, 2009 in São Paulo, Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro.
The French-Brazilian Week of Higher Education was the major academic event of an extremely dense political, cultural and scientific agenda: the Year of France in Brazil in 2009. The Week's themes were inspired by the latest strategic agreements signed between France and Brazil in late 2008 concerning the environment, energy, transportation, aerospace and vocational training. Each theme was represented throughout or at various stages of the event.
Mirroring the events organized in 2005 during the Year of Brazil in France, the French-Brazilian Week of Higher Education comprised a variety of activities, including symposiums, student fairs, meetings and workshops. It targeted a range of audiences, including French and Brazilian universities, companies and students.
110 French and Brazilian institutions took part in French-Brazilian Week, whose various fairs (targeting Masters and Doctorate students) drew 7,500 visitors. Through this event, 700 targeted student interviews were conducted (following resume-based selection) and 150 inter-university meetings took place with a view to signing cooperation agreements. These figures attest to the Week's outstanding performance, recognized by establishments, partners and media alike.
The attractiveness of our academic establishments also depends on how foreign students are received. For this, the MAEE created a quality charter signed by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, establishment conferences and the relevant operators (CampusFrance and CNOUS). These parties commit to monitoring how well foreign recipients of French government scholarships integrate into their host establishment and, more generally, the conditions under which all foreign students are received in France.
The Alfred Kastler National Foundation helps ensure foreign researchers are well received in France, thanks to a partnership policy with research organizations.

Re: Whats For Supper?
I made sweet potato hash for the first time. I've never like sweet potatoes the way my mom cooked them. An employee brought some yesterday to work and it was so good I had to try. Here is what I did:
2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and chopped (I popped them in the microwave for 2 minutes to soften them a bit)
1 small onion chopped
4 slices bacon sliced into small pieces (you can use more or less according to taste)
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup bourbon
salt and pepper to taste
In a skillet brown the bacon and onions, when done to your likeness add in the sweet potatoes and water. Cover and cooked until potatoes are tender enough to mash. Uncover, add butter and bourbon. cook until the alcohol is cooked off. Salt and pepper to taste.
You could use veggie stock or maybe even a chicken stock in place of the water. You can also leave out the bourbon, but it adds great flavor.

Crazy mash-up baked casserole to stretch the last few shreds of chicken in to one more dinner:
base -mirepoix, cheddar, mozzarella, pecorino romano, parmesan, eggs and milk and a few shreds of chicken
topping - wholegrain gluten-free biscuit dough flavored with lots of parsley, thyme, rosemary and chives and a little parmesan.
It was really good, even though it sounds awful. Steamed asparagus as well.

This must be said. Uncharted 3 Multiplayer.
We are back to day 1. I've said this in a few of my posts before, but we're just back where we started.
What was the MAIN issue in this game's first month of release? Blindfire/hipfire/run n' gun (whatever you want to call it).
We've had 16/17 patches? The way I look at it (I'm not sure if you feel the same way) the game went to hell after patch 1.13's release. It nerfed aiming (G-MAL).
I love ND, but I don't see them fixing this issue, nor Co-Op. I think 1.17 is the last patch. I hate to be "that guy", but it must be said. If there is another patch, you may all say "I told you so" or whatever, but in my honest opinion, I do NOT think there will be a patch.
Like I said I love ND, but I no longer play this game. I think the Singleplayer doesn't get enough credit when I see people say they hate this game. I personally liked the Singleplayer, and I still like the multiplayer, but I no longer play it.
That being said, I'm not going to rage and bash ND and break my game and post it on YouTube. I don't see the purpose of that. I'll play this game a little more until TLoU.
Re: This must be said. Uncharted 3 Multiplayer.
Re: This must be said. Uncharted 3 Multiplayer.
Re: This must be said. Uncharted 3 Multiplayer.
People are mental if they think UC3 is as bad as it was on release. Do I think the game is ideal in this current state? no. Do I think it is better than it has ever been? yes. Aiming wasn't nerfed, you can still do it and still do great with it. Fal nerf was defintely needed, and maybe perhaps possibly the g-mal nerf was a bit to much, but some nerf was needed on the gun.
The game did not go full circle, do you see people going insanely positive using only the kal in DM modes? cuz I don't. Thats how it was in the beginning. Right now its the M9 which isn't just cuz of its blindfire, its also cuz it can aim, which is what I see people doing. They rely and use both mechanics in getting kills with a single weapon, which I see as the main problem above blindfire in general.

Gee I don't know. What's the point of the "Gas canisters are OP" thread? I have nothing against Co-Op or Co-Op players, but what's the point of those threads? ND has said they aren't adding anything to Co-Op. "What's the point of any thread now?" That was the point of my thread.
You're right. There are no points in any thread.

It has a domed shell that is hinged on the bottomand which snaps tightly shut if the turtle is in danger. Box turtles usuallystay within the area in which they were born, rarely leaving a 750 footradius. When mating, male turtles sometimes shove and push one another towin a female's attention. During copulation, it is possible for the maleturtle to fall backward, be unable to right himself, and starve todeath. Although box turtles can live for more than 100 years, their habitatsare seriously threatened by land development and roads. Turtles need loose,moist soil in which to lay eggs and burrow during their long hibernationseason. Experts strongly discourage taking turtles from their nativehabitats--not only will it disrupt the community's breeding opportunities,but turtles become extremely stressed outside of their known habitats andmay perish quickly.

Comments about oreilly Windows PowerShell Cookbook, 2nd Edition:
This second edition of the PowerShell Cookbook is an excellent upgrade to the original. Not only does it cover the new features of PowerShell v2, but many of the examples throughout the book have been updated. This is NOT the book you want if you're trying to learn how to script. But if you're an experienced scripter moving to PowerShell, this is perfect, with lots of useful code you can use and real world examples. This is the first (and almost always the last) book I reach for when I'm writing a new script.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is both a excellent PowerShell V2 book and a great improvement on the first edition of this book!PowerShell Cookbook takes you through all the aspects of PowerShell and provides practical and relevant examples of how to unlock the power in PowerShell. The book contains great sample scripts but also the explanation of what those scripts are doing. This edition is a significant and useful improvement over the first edition!This book is great both for newbies, as it gently take you through PowerShell's nooks and crannies, but it's also great for those who know the product. I've learned two new things since getting the book!

Distinguished Student: Cody Crofoot
BONNEVILLE COUNTY, Idaho - High school seniors have a special duty to set a good example for the freshmen just coming in. That's the philosophy of United Dairymen of Idaho Distinguished Student Award winner, Cody Crofoot from Bonneville High School.
Cody has many talents. He's a natural leader. He's the state vice-president for Idaho Student Councils as well as a member of Bonneville's student council.
"I like being able to just take part in something and have my say and have things turn out right," Cody says.
Cody excels in the classroom too. He has a perfect 4.0 GPA, even with taking honors and AP classes.
"It shows you're willing to work hard and colleges look at that and it will help you in your future careers, and it also helps you with scholarships, and just help better prepare you for the future," Cody says.
And when he's not studying, or working with student government or practicing piano you can find Cody on the soccer field. He recently scored four goals in one game. He thinks being involved in lots of activities is a good thing.
"You get to meet lots of different people and have experiences you wouldn't have had," Cody says.
Cody is also a talented musician. He has played piano since second grade and composes his own music.
"I love the feeling of being involved and express yourself through music," Cody says. "And I love the creative aspect. I love being able to compose music and create something new."
Cody feels students can achieve a lot in their high school years if they keep one thing in mind.
"I would say make goals and don't just wander through," Cody says. "Look at something something in your future and make plans to get to the goal and makes steps to reach it, rather than just lay back and enjoy the ride."

Two Road Crew wrestlers going to state
Junior Anthony Philipson placed first while Drey Loge was second for the Pequot Lakes/Pine River-Backus Road Crew at the Section 8AA meet on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 22-23, in Fergus Falls.
Both wrestlers advance to state individual competition, which begins for Class AA wrestlers at 9 a.m. on Friday, March 1, at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.
Philipson, who is 30-4 overall at 106 pounds, will face sophomore Jaxon Sommers of Totino Grace, 32-8, in the first round at state while Loge, 39-1 overall at 145 pounds, opens against Bryon senior Brett Bradford, 37-5.
Two Road Crew juniors just missed a trip to state as Justin Mackenthun, 182, and heavyweight Jared Adkins both lost championship matches at the section meet, and were later defeated in the true-second matches.
Philipson, currently rated No. 8 in the state, opened the section meet with a bye. He then registered two quick pins before wrapping up a title with a 15-0 win over seventh-grader Josh Bernier of Thief River Falls.
Drey Loge won his first two matches with quick pins before dominating for a 15-0 decision. He then suffered his first loss of the season in the championship match by a 5-1 score against Detroit Lakes' sophomore Parker Jackson, who improved to 39-3. Loge came back to defeat Colin Neitzke of Perham in the true-second match.
Mackenthun won his first with a pin at 1:52 and then earned 10-0 and 3-1 decisions. He then wrestled for first place, but lost 3-2 against Park Rapids junior John Kyllonen. Wrestling for true second, Mackenthun lost another close match 7-6 to Gus Makovsky of Fergus Falls.
Jared Adkins, who finishes 29-10, won his first three matches with pins in 3:43, 2:35, and 2:58. Adkins was then pinned by Chris Kucera of Thief River Falls in the championship match. Wrestling for true second, Adkins lost to James Huwe of Detroit Lakes, who Adkins had defeated earlier this month.
Other Road Crew results from the section meet included: Spencer Richards, 113, losing his second match, but coming back with a pin in 39 seconds. Richards then lost 2-0 to Alex Engelding of Staples-Motley, and came back to place fifth with a 6-3 win over Colton Weiland of Crookston.
Freshman Nate Adkins opened in the 120 division with a pin at 3:55 before defeating Chase Curtis 3-0. He then dropped 3-2 and 12-6 decisions before taking fifth with a 7-0 win over Curtis. Adkins finished 22-10.
Sophomore Lucus McCoy, who usually wrestles on junior varsity, did not win at 126 while Nick Gravdahl, a sophomore at 132, won his first match by fall in 1:18. Gravdahl then lost to Austin Hjelle, before bouncing back with a pin at 1:22. Gravdahl later wrestled Ben Baumgartner, who was 32-2, in the fifth-place match and dropped a 12-9 decision.
Junior Jace Loge, 138, started off with a bye before losing to Mason Swengarden. Loge then registered pins in 1:52 and 32 seconds before losing 6-1 against Nathan Mertan from Crookston. Loge then lost the fifth-place match 7-4 to finish 23-16 overall.
Junior Ozzy Miller, 152, started off with a pin at 23 seconds. He then lost his next match, but came back with a pin at 13 seconds. He was then defeated 9-2 by Alex Bode of Fosston-Bagley. Miller finishes 18-17 overall.
Joe Harrison, who has been wrestling most of the year on junior varsity, did not place at 160.
Dillon Nichols, 170, lost his first match, but advanced with a bye before losing to Luke Edlund 7-3. Codel Roeder, 195, and senior Kurt Kent, both did not place.

Intel: Bernstein, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley Press Downside Thesis
Intel (INTC) has enjoyed a relatively healthy rate of endorsements from the Street of late, with the unveiling two weeks ago of its "Silvermont" CPU for mobile devices, and the formal unveiling yesterday at the Computex conference of its "Haswell" processor architecture for everything from servers to low-power mobile devices. The announcement Monday morning by Samsung Electronics (005930KS) that the South Korean giant will use Intel's "Clover Trail+" processor in its next "Galaxy Tab 10" tablet computer also heartened those with a bullish view of the stock, as it seems a major breakthrough in Intel's attempts to crack a table market that's been dominated by chips from competitors such as Nvidia (NVDA) and Qualcomm (QCOM).
The latest victory was Monday's upgrade to Outperform from Market Perform by FBR Capital's Christopher Rolland, who wrote that the company has "added enough new avenues of growth to replace lost PC units." My colleague Jack Hough wrote an endorsement of Intel in this week's Barron's print magazine.
However, it was the bears' turn today to offer up what they see as the downside for the company and the stock.
Stacy Rasgon of Bernstein Research reiterated an Underperform rating on the shares and an $18 price target, writing that "more than 100% of the stock's performance year-to-date has been driven by multiple expansion (both from the market, and on a relative basis)," by which he means that the expansion of the stock market's multiple, measured by the S&P 500, to 14.8 times at present, from 13 times forwarding earnings back in December, has been accompanied by an expansion of Intel's relative stock multiple, from 0.83 the S&P multiple back in December to 0.91 at present.
But Rasgon thinks the stock is mainly benefiting from very low expectations:
PC expectations have been extremely poor; the expectation now is that actual results will be merely bad, instead of truly abysmal. Secondly, Intel's mobile product roadmap (as we have said for some time) appears very competitive; new BayTrail products for tablets appear compelling on power and performance vs. prior Atom generations [...] And thirdly, the company is in the beginning of a product cycle, with all attendant hype (exacerbated by Computex). Additionally they will be building product – fabs will be full, and gross margin outlook will (for now) climb upward as fab utilizations recover.
Rasgon advises "not pressing the short here, but rather to use upside into the back half to short the stock," and in addition to long-term structural challenges for Intel, such as the PC market not being a growth market, he sees some immediate reasons why the stock could face a tougher second half:
Rolling out seasonality (given where numbers came in Q1) would suggest overall PC units down 5-10%. Intel, however, still believes computing units for them will grow, and is planning capacity build-out and loadings accordingly [...] 2014 unit expectations appear even more aggressive to us. Our analysis indicates that the company is implicitly suggesting fab output will increase in the high double digits YoY in 2014 [...] Additionally, given somewhat weak Data Center results in Q1, it is likely that the back half will need to be up more than 20% YoY in order to high company guidance for "double-digit" increases in the business. Currently the year appears to be setting up similarly to 2012, where Intel continued to build product on the hope of the Ivy Bridge refresh through the first three quarters, and was consequently forced to cut loadings and inventories at the end of the year. We model a repeat of last year's events – namely an inventory flush and gross margin hit, starting in Q114.
Morgan Stanley's Joseph Moore, meanwhile, also reiterates an Underweight rating, and a $22 price target, writing that "Intel has already proven us wrong on Android," where he had doubted the ability to Intel to win customers. However, "We are encouraged by these shifts, but still don't like the stock."
Moore had written only two weeks ago that "We think Intel's traction in the Android tablet market will remain fairly limited, given compatibility issues," with developers on Android unwilling to move the most demanding applications to the Java or "Dalvik" runtime environments.
The Samsung win is "a key milestone" for Intel, he writes, and "the endorsement of Samsung could go a long way towards solving this chicken and egg problem" with developers. However, Moore thinks Intel "priced aggressively" to win the deal "both the CPU and the modem, which made the decision easier," citing unnamed sources.
He thinks the Samsung contract may boost Intel market share in tablets but may not help financial results much:
Our prior assumption of 7.5% share of Android tablets will likely prove conservative given the Samsung announcement. But if Intel achieves 30% share of Android, it impacts our prior 2015 EPS estimate by just $0.04 as the opportunity is still relatively small compared to Intel's total earnings stream.
And lastly J.P. Morgan's Christopher Danely, who has a Neutral rating on Intel stock, and a $19 price target, writes that his visits in Asia this week with personal computer component suppliers suggest Q2 sales of PCs are trending below even reduced expectations. Danely thinks Haswell is not yet prompting "incremental demand" (though given the processor is new to market, it may be too soon to judge):
Demand from the PC end market remains soft as Intel's new Haswell processor is not driving incremental demand, touch-enabled PCs are still too expensive, and tablets and smartphones continue to cannibalize PC demand. Many companies we met with in the PC food chain stated 2Q13 is tracking towards the low end of guidance. We believe this is negative for Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) as both are over 85% exposed to the PC end market and guided 2Q13 and 2H13 to be in line with normal seasonal growth [...] Although Intel's new Haswell microprocessor enables higher performance at lower power, none of the companies we met with indicated PC demand is improving. We do not expect Haswell to drive incremental PC demand as new processor launches have not historically resulted in higher PC demand.
Like Moore, Danely is unimpressed with the financial prospects of Intel's improved profile in tablet computers:
Although Intel appears to be gaining tablet share at Samsung, Lenovo, and Acer, we believe the content and expected unit shipments are too small to offset declining demand in notebooks. We note the ASP of an Atom tablet processor is roughly $25-$30, well below Intel's notebook microprocessor ASP of $110.
Danely is modeling Intel revenue this quarter at $12.9 billion, the mid-point of Intel's forecast, $12.9 billion, but for the full year he sees revenue of $53 billion, which is below the company's forecast for revenue to rise in the "low single digits" on a percentage basis, and below Street consensus of $53.5 billion.
Intel shares today are down 52 cents, or 2%, at $24.84.

Permalink: [Article]-The Broken: Assessing Corporate Security in 2012 to Make a Better 2013
by Paul Jaramillo, CISSP, EnCE
So as we are about to close out 2012, many of us in the IT Security community look around and try to assess where we were, what we have accomplished this year, and what is next. I've been working in IT since the late 90s with a focus on security for much of that time. Most of my work has been in large private-sector companies with a brief but very rewarding stint working for the government. To me while much has changed, many of the core issues remain today as they were back then. Our security condition has actually worsened in many cases. While that is up for debate, no one can argue the pace, sophistication, and impact of major cyber events related to nation-sponsored, organized crime. Hacktivism threats have increased exponentially in the last 4-5 years as well. This new normal has been applicable to the government and defense industrial base for a long time but really surfaced in the private sector around 2007. You would assume that with all that increased attention, dollars and executive support at the highest levels, it would be making things happen. To a certain extent they are, but we as an industry are still losing in the never-ending cat and mouse game with our adversaries. Why?
Over the years, I have sat through countless "you're doing it wrong" or "we're screwed' type of presentations. Some of them were very informative, and I absolutely respect anyone that publicly voices their opinions and ideas, knowing they will be criticized and nitpicked for things taken out of context. However, I often leaving conferences with a desire for a way to fix what we all know has been broken. So what is stopping us? That is where I would like to focus some energy. What are the key road blocks and stumbling points that are keeping the security industry from truly raising the bar as opposed to being stuck in a continual state of catch up?
The ideas that follow are not all my own, and I'm sure I have subconsciously absorbed them or unknowingly added them to my mantra. I have a set of wise men that I learn from constantly, however I won't list them out or directly associate them to this article out of respect. These ideas shouldn't be taken as a statement of fact either, as they are only my humble opinions. My goal is to start a real discussion and starting point for documenting and overcoming our greatest challenges to our broken system.
Let the debate begin,

JNPR Off 4%: Q2 Beats, Q3 View Beats; CEO Johnson to Retire
Networking equipment maker Juniper Networks (JNPR) this afternoon reported Q2 revenue and profit that topped analysts' estimates, forecast this quarter higher as well, and said its CEO, Kevin Johnson, will retire.
Revenue in the three months ended in June rose to $1.15 billion, yielding EPS of 29 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $1.09 billion and 25 cents per share.
For the current quarter, the company projected revenue in a range of $1.14 billion to $1.18 billion, and EPS of 29 cents to 32 cents, which is better than the consensus for $1.14 billion and 29 cents.
In a separate release, the company said Johnson will step down once a successor has been named. The company's board of directors has commenced a search process.
Juniper shares are down $1.05, or 5%, at $20.29 in late trading.
