What is 80 mm plus buckwheat selling for? There are ways of darkening it , by blending and heating.I hear a bamboo floral source is a good blender for darkening, and a little heat doesn't do much to the taste

I dont know much about that, but he was more concerned about the taste and smell than the colour. I suppose if the taste is there he will not have any trouble in darkening it??

Packer called looking for some loads of honey. He offered $1.65-$1.70 LOL. I asked which is it $1.65 or $1.70. I'm glad I had to tell him I was sold out. Those are the prices I sold two years ago. This is early for packers to be calling the producers. Just tells you there isn't the honey being put out on the market. At those prices you have to hold, or find a better market.
We sold our fall honey ( the dark stuff) for $2 a pound in the barrel and $2.50 in the bucket (60lb). It went to several small bottlers... it is all gone... did we sell too cheap?
Herb for dark fall honey I think you did good! Wholesale for amber in the Mideast is $1.40-$1.75 per pound as stated in the new ABJ.
I've always wondered about this supply and demand stuff. It's my opinion that the
big players in any industry try to cripple the little guy with their flooding of the market
with their products. At least, it's always seems that way Then the commercial buyers
say that it's a supply and demand thing. Isn't it the same product?
The best example I can think of is the petroleum industry. Ever notice that the prices
for gasoline at the pumps jumps up at the threat of war, instabilty, etc. While it takes
like forever, if never for the prices to lower at their normal prices when all is ok.
The suppliers will say that they have to now pay higher to get gasoline so you
now have to pay more. But wasn't the gas in the pumps now paid ata lower price.
This price gouging is a sad and everyone buys it.
But the gasoline presently in the pumps was bought at cheaper prices.
Sorry for talking about gas, I'm sure it's easier for you to understand
this example since it affect almost everyone on the planet. Food prices
are sure to be the same.
I'm not kocking the big producers they are out to make money.
It's the big buyers that are the culprits, with their stockhoders.
I just wish the little guy could make equal money for his product
that's all. I know that will probably never happen.
I really dont think your comparisons of the oil business to the honey industry stand up to closer scrutiny. Most of the major players in honey marketing are family owned companies or member owned cooperatives. The honey industry, I presume, is a bit too small for the Krafts, Proctor and Gambles and the like to show much interest in. The great thing about our industry, and what you have missed in your post is that the smaller guy who takes the time and effort to market his or her product as a unique local product can command a far higher price than the larger producers who end up having to sell their honey to the major packers in trailer load quantities.

What a about these guys? Scrutiny this Jim:
Here's the full indictment:
I learned a new thing in that story. Honey Laundering
I'm sure they ain't alone.
Oh look, some more, Jim:
It ain't over:
Quoted from the above link:
Schneider reports that four or five of the 12 major honey packers in the U.S. knowingly
buy this illegal honey so they can sell it cheaper and make more money. According to Richard Adee,
the Washington Legislative Chairman of the American Honey Producers Association, "we know who
they are" and "everyone in the industry knows." But no names were revealed in the article.
Honey importer sentenced to 30 months for conspiring to evade US import duties:
What you missed Jim is that I never mentioned anything against the producers large and small.
They are ok in my books. It's the big business corporate types that are the problem.
You show many any industry today and I'll show you some corruption in it!

Lost Bee: First off I have re-read your post and my reply to try to understand the biting tone of your post. If you are implying that all the major American honey packers are involved in deals like this then I simply say that I dont believe there is a body of evidence to support this contention. I have sold to most of the larger packers and would generally categorize them as shrewd but honest businessmen and yes most of these are privately owned businesses, some of them owned by the same family for generations. These links you have posted (and in this "Google age" I don't really care for link posting wars) are all about a well documented case of criminals who got caught doing a lot of unseemly stuff and no one cheered louder when they were indicted than I. Here is a recent initiative that many of the big players in the American honey packing industry are signed onto (and for brevity I will keep it to just one link). http://truesourcehoney.com/ Do you disagree with my statement that the smaller producer/packer has a distinct advantage in the market place by being able to ask a premium price for a quality locally produced product? I see these products all the time in grocery stores of all sizes (including Wal-Mart) asking premium prices, they wouldnt be on the shelf long if they werent selling.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
I never implicated any American honey packers. Actually, I just posted stuff from the Internet for
all to read for themselves, with the links so people would know I ain't making anything up. I also
never mentioned any country for that matter in either posts. What other writers say is, what they
say. I just provided the links that's all. I don't know why your indicating that I'm knocking on
producers cause neither of post say anything against any producers.
Oh well good luck.
"These big packers are still using imported honey of uncertain safety that they know is illegal because they know their chances of getting caught are slim," Adee said.

I would say there is almost a conspiracy among the largest US packers to import cheap Chinese honey, if only to remain competitive in some markets.
As far as True Source honey , i think its sorta of a bad joke on North American producers, all honey produced in the western hemisphere can be traced,its what comes from China is the problem
We buy used honey buckets from a Turkey Co. They all say Argentina, India. Do you think that means China -> India-> Argentina -> USA? Makes me wonder.
Oh boy, Irwin don't speak the truth or they'll get mad.
hpm08161947, get the honey tested for those insecticides mentioned
in links of my post #688. If they are positive you know you've been
duped. I hope not.

There's 10 chefs in a kitchen and still not one will tell you how to boil water unless there's something in it for them.
Groeb Farms is mentioned in this in blending their honey,etc.
I guess the truth hurts, sorry hpm08161947.
I've never knew anything about Honey Laundering till today.
I'm glad I buy honey direct from a small producer.
There's 10 chefs in a kitchen and still not one will tell you how to boil water unless there's something in it for them.
Must be a nice to grow your packing buisness, selling Cheap foreign honey, lets see plants in Michigan, florida, texas and California, where next, the north west USA, and you get every other large packer who is forced to join in the meelee to hold some market share
208 MILLION LBS OF IMPORTED HONEY in the last 18 months, ( 50 % of one years consumption }45 million from India alone ( Adee says there ain't enough bees in India TO produce that amt)Honey market is hot and according to Ron Phipps its going to get a lot hotter
I guess Honey Laundering isn't as serious as Money Laundering.
It's only the food people eat right?
There's 10 chefs in a kitchen and still not one will tell you how to boil water unless there's something in it for them.
If you are going to post links then maybe not have them be from 1995. Not sure where anyone got the idea that I would defend illegal importation of unhealthy honey. Wouldnt it be nice if our government was actually vigilant about inspecting the purity of the products that come across our borders, no argument there at all. I only have a problem when you start painting all honey packers with the same broad brush, yeah there are a few bad ones out there no question about it. My understanding of the original intent of Lost Bee's post was that the "little guy dosent have an opportunity to make equal money for his product". I pointed out the fact that it is quite common for a smaller guy to get a higher return than a larger guy and I felt I did so in a non-confrontational way. Now if I might politely excuse myself until things settle down here a bit.

I wonder what would happen if local honey producers would sell clean unadulterated honey
to China? Wouldn't it be sold at a premium vs their medicated residue honey? It's too bad
production isn't that strong in the Americas.

I am a widow. Friendships, I learned, are not immune to grief. Despite what you may think, some friends will leave you when you need them the most. Perhaps they don't know what to say or how to act. After speaking to people in similar situations, I now realize that in many cases, friendship and grief do not mix.

Remove tips from chicken wings and discard. Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth, and divide the mixture in half. Put the chicken and half of the sauce in a resealable plastic bag, shake to coat well and place in the refrigerator from 3 hours to overnight. Reserve the remaining sauce in the refrigerator until ready to serve with wings.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place skin side down, in a shallow baking dish. Discard marinade. Bake for 50 minutes, flipping over half way through baking. Increase heat to broil and broil wings until crisped, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately with reserved dipping sauce.
* Instead of baking, wings can be grilled over medium high heat for about 25 minutes, basting with sauce throughout. Serve immediately with reserved dipping sauce.

Recreational access to land has in the past been a source of tension between landowners and the public.
Paper roads conflicted with reality, causing headaches for farmers and recreational users alike.
It's a state of affairs that seems to have been mitigated since last year's introduction of the walking access mapping system, an online tool that displays access-related information on maps.
The system "has contributed to substantially reducing the issues that used to be quite public", says Walking Access Commission chief executive Mark Neeson.
And Andrew Mercer, the Department of Conservation's programme manager of visitor assets, said: "We think it's fantastic and we recommend that everyone uses it."
The system was a good tool for avoiding conflict, he said, and was helping DoC and the commission work together in other areas.
In a survey, 97 per cent of respondents found the information useful, and 89 per cent found it easy to use. Encouragingly, 94 per cent considered it a good use of taxpayer funds.
"A big advantage is that it provides accurate information," Mr Neeson said.
Federated Farmers access spokesman Anders Crofoot said: "There have been no issues arising from it. That's been quite good. The Walking Access Commission has done a great job with it. They're to be commended."
An upgrade means the system can now be accessed from any location, either by smartphone or phone-capable tablet computers.
Third parties will also be able to submit their access information and have it included: things like campsites, beach access or walking and cycling tracks.
"That will be a real positive," said Mr Crofoot, describing how it's been difficult for farmers to communicate new or updated information about their properties. The potential embedding of contact information was a plus, too.
The walking access mapping system has been visited more than 100,000 times. To try it go to www.wams.org.nz

Aerias never let me down before, but I just want to see who's better.
I live in NA, so that's not a problem. Any help?
Id say go with gametribe if you could >_>, aeria is so money hungry they are gonna end up like ijji. Constantly remaking special costumes/rare items, putting simple ingame items in the cash shop, and making around 70% of the game cash shop reliant. I quit because i got fed up with all the crap (and them remaking/screwing up prices of items ingame)
If you live in NA, you can't play on the GameTribe servers. You have to play Aeria's.
There is an IP ban for NA IP addresses on the GameTribe Servers just like there is an IP ban on European IPs on Aeria's Domo. This was set up in the contract that both GameTribe and Aeria have with Softstar.
old enough to know better, young enough not to care
I'm going to bump the tread up.----------------------------THE website offer Fast and Secure wow ************* service. wow power leveling 60-70, Cheap WoW gold 10000G. The Professional wow power leveling! Powerlevel now. WOrld of warcraft Power Leveling, World Of Warcraft gold bloom of true love associated with this time of year! Warcraft gold,
Then how do people get around it? I mean... there are people from my guild who live in Europe, how do they play Aeria?
It's easy to get around an IP ban... just use a proxy when u create the account, or use a proxy all the time on the comp your choice, there's lots of free proxy websites(no download or anything required) and helps you get around a IP ban or something else that requires some specific IP settings... >.>
As long as it isn't Aeria, you're fine. Any way DoMO??? That game was well...
Screw it. Try it and you'll see what I mean.

Community health workers are trained to explain to pregnant women with HIV the importance of HIV testing, and prenatal care, delivery, and postnatal care at the health center. They learn to support women in receiving this care. Community health workers also learn to support women in adhering to ARV treatment starting as soon as possible during pregnancy (regardless of CD4 count) and continuing for life, giving their newborn babies nevirapine, and taking their babies to the health center regularly for vaccinations and check ups.
For women with HIV who have taken 3 ARVs faithfully every day for at least 3 months before birth (continuing for life), community health workers learn to teach women that it is safe for them to breastfeed their babies exclusively. For women with HIV who have not taken ARVs for at least 3 months before giving birth, community health workers learn to support women in feeding their babies infant formula exclusively.
The training is designed for one day.

Woody. Buzz. Nemo. Mike. Sully. Lightning McQueen. Wall-E. Mr. Incredible. Remy. Flik. Russell. Hmm. What do they all have in common? All beloved major characters for Pixar movies? Yes, of course. What's not to love? But you might have noticed something else about this list. All of the major Pixar characters are male, or at least are perceived to be male. (Could we argue that Wall-E is genderless? Maybe.) But with the release of Brave, we'll be adding Merida to that list.
Like other animation geeks, I happily line up for any and all Pixar movies, money in hand. I thought Toy Story 3 was one of Pixar's all time best. But about 15 minutes into Up, my blood started to boil. Here at last was the most amazing girl ever to enter into a Pixar movie, sweet and amazing Ellie. And then, like a slap in the face, she was dead. The movie quickly turned into a movie about old men punctuated by scary and mean dogs. I took my daughter to see Up on her birthday, and she asked to leave the movie, something she had never done before.
I came home, incensed that Pixar would make a move about feuding old men before they would make a movie about a girl. As I wrote my rant about it, realizing the likes of NPR and Salon were ranting, too, I made Pixar this promise:

What's the most effective way to make people care about the institutional problems with our industrial food economy? It's, of course, a question of heightening urgency. Fish are disappearing from our waters. Pesticides are corrupting our food supply, and chemically-altered seeds are narrowing it, to the detriment of our nutrient-deprived soil. There are solutions to many of these problems — let's diversify our farms, ease up on the fish consumption for a couple years, and focus on reducing the distance between farm and plate — but those answers aren't cheap or fast.
Moreover, a critical mass of citizens need to organize and peddle some influence before there's any real hope. Four documentaries featured during the third installment of the popular Food+Farm series, at SPACE Gallery from May 20 to 23, take very different approaches to examining a variety of issues revolving around sustainability and the need for popular action, and most will be followed by question-and-answer sessions with topical experts. Surprisingly — or not, depending on your taste for the ballooning eco-doc genre — it's the least prescriptive film that's the most provocative.
Showing Saturday, COLONY, co-directed by Carter Gunn (who edited the film) and Russ McDonnell (who shot it), is less concerned with the elusive cause or causes of colony collapse disorder (CCD) — which has led, by some estimates, to the disappearance of one-third of America's bee population — than with the people of the industry, threatened and flummoxed by an economic downturn and the sudden deaths of the hives they carefully tend to. Its primary subjects are the Seppis, a deeply spiritual family in California whose hives are rented out to almond growers for pollination. In some circumstances, the causes of CCD appear obvious — large-scale beekeepers may raise their hives on unfertile land, depriving them of nutrients, for instance — but for the Seppis, who foster their bees with painstaking rigor and attention, CCD is both baffling and financially crippling.
Potential villains (climate change, pesticides) arise, and are debated by the keepers along with various scientists and businessmen (Gunn and McDonnell do an unusually good job of integrating their talking heads into the film as compelling characters), but it's the sad, eerie struggle of people like the Seppis that make the film so successful. That, and McDonnell's stunning digital photography, which (along with its lyrical tone) is nudging the film toward some comparisons with Terrence Malick's peerless Days of Heaven.
Other Food+Farm entries are either artistically or tonally frustrating, but will nonetheless appeal to the choir to which they preach, and will be supplemented by good conversations. Friday night's film, INGREDIENTS — written, directed, and edited by Robert Bates — plays out like a pleasant infomercial for a local and sustainable food supply. Despite a lack of resources and creativity, it still presents (in a swift and modestly uplifting 70 minutes) a more clear and coherent argument for the cause than Robert Kessler's Oscar-nominated Food, Inc., which busily branded heroes and villains. If a bit self-satisfied, Ingredients is more digestible than Rupert Murray's THE END OF THE LINE, which screens Sunday night. Based on the book by London journalist Charles Clover (who appears throughout), the film is a suitably righteous condemnation of overfishing by companies and industries large, small, and boutique, but its alarmist tone (typified by a bombastic score and dramatic narration by Ted Danson) is so oppressive that the film leaves you defeated rather than incited.

Cadillac's renaissance takes another step forward with the 2010 CTS Sport Wagon. The latest addition to the CTS range is all about prestige and presence -- and attracting more customers in European markets. Introduced this weekend at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the new wagon will roll into Cadillac dealerships in spring 2009.Not surprisingly, the CTS Sport Wagon powertrains are identical to those of the sedan. A 3.6L 263 hp V-6 sits as the base engine in the U.S. with the direct-injection 3.6L V-6 making 304 hp as the top engine. As on the sedan, potential wagon buyers must choose between an Aisin six-speed manual or six-speed automatic, and between rear and all-wheel drive. With EPA highway ratings expected to be in the mid-twenties, the wagon should garner a few more MPG overall than bigger crossovers.http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/wagons/112_0808_2010_cadillac_cts_sport_wagon_first_look/index.html
It is actually really nice looking, i want to see a picture from the back.

That Cadillac script on the tailgate is extreemly classy. Very nice job Cadillac.
Niiiiice! Much better looking than the coupe too.

Yep, it's the sexiest wagon on earth. I love the taillights.See above
Would I be hoping against hope for a CTS-V Sport Wagon?
Maybe, but you never know with the CTS team.
Looks good.But will it sell? Maybe it is hard to extrapolate by Dodge killing off the Magnum...but it has already seen the cut......and many in the forum liked it too.We shall see. I hope so but it just does not appear vehicles of this type are really in demand.
It's absolutely beautiful. I really hope wagons regain popularity.
--------- Sunday Morning Drive with Camber
Looks good.
The rear reminds me of a Volvo wagon, but better. This CTS wagon could become really popular in Europe.
-------------------------------------- Vorsprung durch Technik
Looks fantastic, better looking than the sedan
I GOT IT!For more CTS whoring i say they...Make a CTS 2 door wagon based coupe but give it a hatchback not a fastback.And then a CTS CROSSOVER. Like the wagon except lift it off the ground a little and call it a crossover. Us Americans wont know the difference. And of course all of these varients get the V version to reduce cost!

|Re: st: dynamic panel data, system GMM and fixed effect
|21 Sep 2005 10:34:38 +0100
Dear all, I've a panel of 20 regions and 7 years (1998-2004)and I try to estimate a dynamic panel model as
yit = a*l.yit + b*(Xit) + uit.
My problem is that i've a heterogeneous panel. I tested for homogeneity constraints through a F-test but results showed that i could impose homogeneity on "a" and "b" only if fixed effect are included in the estimates.
Standard approach for estimate DPD is to take the first difference to remove fixed effect (xtabond). However, this procedure imposes a high degree of homogeneity, so that with heterogeneous panel, this seems to lead to inconsistent estimate as a big portion of the variance of y is explained by fixed effect.
If a include fixed effect in xtabond, the command drop these dummy as it takes the first-difference. I've try to run a system of gmm (xtabond2) including fixed effect from the level equation.
However, I don't know if this procedure is correct.
Could anyone help me?
Is a system of GMM consistent in presence of fixed effect?
I've to run a dynamc fixed effect model (xtivreg)? Is a dynamicFE a consistent way to estimate such a dynamic panel (heterogeneity, N>T, etc.)?

I haven't been on here as much as in the recent past as my modding has pretty much come to a halt thanks to my car wreck earlier this year. Hopefully I'll be able to get back at it in the near future. I wasn't aware of the issue with people using the star ratings to try to assassinate threads/logs. Some people are just so petty and stupid. I personally never did pay the star ratings any attention myself. Wayne, you're doing awesome work on this build. Just keep it coming.
I've never modded for competitions myself. I just mod because I enjoy doing so. Getting a few accolades along the way is very nice to be sure, but in my case, if I got myself wrapped up in trying to compete, I'd fail anyway since my kind of mods will never be uber-popular anyway.

+1 never did see forum ratings as anything more than a popularity contest. I dont think popularity is indicative of ability or design vision. Personally love your mod and the fact your could even design it let alone hand cut and file or the parts with such presicion still astounds me :eek:

I'm not meaning to be rude but I'm 2 pages off topic now so need to get this back on track, I'll reply to further comments.
I lost the plot a bit back there also, had to be quite wired to get it done ready for the deadline, no chance now but that's not a bad thing, lets me get it done a lot better now.
Good to see you though voigts & look forward to you getting your mod on when you can & let me tell you I think you really underrate your project, Quintessence is gorgeous inside & out, can't imagine anyone not liking it.
Where it was since last session but now with the 3rd revision of the HDD covers & they fit in there nicely, I also had to drill the 3mm holes a bit closer to the edge so the rods could fit in.
The 5mm & 10mm rods with grub screws in for the tapped rods above.
View from underneath where they are countersunk screwed in & the 3mm holes I drilled straight through & extended them more outwards so they'll fit in.
How it is now with all the rods in place, this all needs a heck of a cleaning up by light filing & sanding to make it look a lot nicer, it'll get there.
Right here I noticed how the light caught the dual layer side panels creating a sweet contrast so thought I'd take a shot, bit like a preview of the intended look of what the contrasts will look like when everything gets anodised but not this colour.
I'm still wishing I put all the mounting points in on the design phase before I got on with making this but once I'm past this HTPC & stand everything else should be far more straight forward.
Some more shots.
Other news.
Been wanting to make my dad a nice xbmc for quite a while & was browsing around fleabay for a cheap mini-ITX mobo & seen an Asus E35M1-I Deluxe same as the one I'm using on mine but 2nd hand for £68, owner had it since August, took the memory out of my current rig & put it in, tested & it's all good, then I finally installed the Samsung memory I bought a bit ago into my current rig, it's 10mm lower than normal low profile memory, low voltage & highly overclockable, no heat sink & a black PCB, got it running at 2133mhz 10,10,10,28 @1.45v, really nice memory & will be nicer still when I take the stickers off.

I've never taken any notice of the star system here and my build is not even on the same planet as yours but already it's been demoted and it only reached 4 stars, I for one voted to remove the star system
I got less stars than you, na, na, na, na na

I never used to neither but it's something I only recently started taking notice of & probably because of thinking BS about low rated awesomeness.
Personally if someone is having a good go at making something & they don't ignore comments & generally just a good contributor I give 5 but never anything less, if it's someone being a bleep I just ignore or try to anyway, modding forums to me are possibly the best of the interwebs so it sucks to have a tiny minority trying to put a crapper on it so I get defensive about it, bit-tech has been, is & will be an international modding mecca & trolls or frustrated modders should be enlightened instead of pouring napalm on them.
But I do dislike stupid petty flame wars, so childish, I like creation, not destruction.
Would be for best I think if they ditched the rating system especially after seeing project get 1 star as soon as they post, very clear sign of hating that.
Good to see you posting some awesomeness too beta, impressive I want gas struts now.

Made a hiccup when extending the holes for the 3mm rods on my last session, I simply drilled too close so left the outer edge is a bit knackered on the top & bottom panels, I'll re make the affected panels moving them further in by 0.5mm so might need to get more 3mm aluminium, not sure yet.
Showing the 3rd revision of the hdd cover pieces a bit clearer, still unsure about filing the 2 layers above to be the same or to bevel to the 3rd layer.
Marked & drilled the first 2 mount points on the stand cover which makes the whole look more together.
Then held the cover in place & poked a sharpie marker through onto the acrylic.
Drilled & bunged brass inserts in.
Testing & getting more marker points added.
Decided to use the top mount points to share the way it mounts to the stand so it's screwed in on both sides, had to shorten 3 screws by about 3mm.
To get the accurate marking of the upper mounts I just squeezed the assembly together & drilled through the brass insert on the drill press with a 2mm bit & then took apart & used a 3mm bit.
Put it together & it was nice & solid piece ready to install.
One tiny problem though, the custom fan pass through hole on the cover is I'd say about 1mm too low so it won't let me slide the HTPC in/out so it needs some careful filing so it will allow it to slide in/out, going to be difficult making sure it doesn't produce a significant gap spoiling the look.
I think it looks so much better with the covers, enjoy the shots.
I'll fix any of the mentioned issues in this update on my next session.

If you have enough space for struts and want to try them I bought my struts on ebay only £8.00, I found the 50Newton strut was powerful enough to lift the top panel on my case but I needed the 80N for the side panel, also be aware that these struts don't damp over their full travel, initially they push/spring for about 60-70% of their travel and only damp over the last part of their travel, so a door/panel initially springs open and then slows as it reaches max opening.
There's also "Struts Direct" they have a much bigger selection but are more expensive.
Thanks for your comments Waynio, appreciated

i have to admit; when i first started reading this log i stopped for a while due to my admitted prejudice against non form-factor cases, then i started agian and fell in love with it when i saw all that brushed aluminum gorgeousness... and it looks better IRL... much better.
Do not let anything good in life pass you by. Cherish it with all of your heart, because before you know it even life will have passed you by. And if you let all those things pass you by? The only thing filling your heart will be deep sadness and regret. So whatever you do, hold on, and never let go.

I was going to make a new post but I found this one and decided to make an update. I have all the "bugs" figured out I believe and compleated the first rod fully. I bought tooling to have it come out very nice. and it is hard to tell the original to the US made one. if you have any intrest now is the time to let me know. I have a very limited supply of custom rolled diameter material so when they are gone ,,, they are gone.
I just want to offer it up here to the guys at gunco while I can.. thankis for looking HB

UK Paves the Way for Orphan Works Law. Will the Sky Fall?
Posted by David Walker on Thursday May 9, 2013 | Copyright/Legal, Uncategorized
Posted by David Walker on Thursday May 9, 2013 | Copyright/Legal, Uncategorized
Photographers have not only been "Royally Robbed," but the British government has violated their human rights, according to a UK group called stop43.org.uk. Photo trade groups in the US, including NPPA, ASMP, PPA, APA and PACA have predicted "a firestorm of international litigation."
The cause of all the fuss? Changes in UK law that pave the way for regulations under which publishers and others can use orphan works–ie, photographs and other works for which the copyright owner cannot be identified or located–without violating copyright. The changes to the law also enable the British government to establish a central registry and licensing agency for visual works, analagous to the musical licensing agencies ASCAP and BMI.
The changes are part of the so-called Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act, which provides a framework but few details of how the UK's orphan works law and copyright registry might work. The British government is expected to issue detailed regulations this fall. Meanwhile, the government says its intent is to make the licensing of intellectual property more efficient in the digital age, and that it will protect the interests of copyright holders at the same time.
Absent the details about how the law will work, however, photographers and other copyright holders are left to speculate on the actual consequences of the new laws. Reactions among photographers (and their trade groups) range from wariness to outrage.
"I'm not terribly worried at all" about the orphan works provision of the new law, says David Hoffman of Editorial Photographers UK. "It's annoying there's so much confusion, hysteria and anger about that.
"I'm much more concerned about [the collective licensing provision]. It takes control away" from photographers over who may license their images, for what purposes, and for how much. "But what control do I have anyway?" Hoffman adds, explaining that thousands of his images are used illegally. He estimates he loses tens of thousands of dollars' worth of licensing fees each year as a result.
Paul Ellis of stop43.org also dismisses the orphan works part of the legislation as a "red herring." Users of orphan works are likely to have to show that they searched diligently for the copyright owner of the work, and the government will still collect a fee for the use in case the rights holder ever steps forward. Ellis predicts almost nobody will bother licensing orphaned photographs.
"The system will be costly to use," once licensing, search and administrative costs are added up, he says. "And if the costs of acquiring orphan works licenses are higher than a normal license fee, you've built an incentive to infringe." (Courts in the UK award little more than a normal license fee for infringement, if an image owner bothers to sue and win, he notes.)
Ellis is far more enraged about the proposed registry, called an extended rights collective. The idea behind that is that the government would set prices for lots of small commercial and editorial uses of images, collect fees for those uses, and disburse the payments to copyright holders, provided they register. Ellis points out that anyone who doesn't register won't get paid. And although copyright holders may be able to opt out of the system, it might be a difficult to do that.
"The effect of this will be to drive down prices, and drive value out of creators' pockets," Ellis predicts. But there's a bigger principle at stake, he says. "It utterly breaches the conception that the owners of property have the exclusive right to exploit that property. If you punch a hole in that principle, you're on very shaky ground.
"Extended collective licensing is an arbitrary deprivation of property. The government is confiscating property," Ellis says, asserting that it amounts to a human rights violation under international law, which he says guarantees "the right to peaceable enjoyment of your property."
The major photo trade associations in the US, along with the Graphic Artists Guild, sent a letter last fall to UK officials objecting to the new laws on the grounds that images by US copyright holders would be swept up in the UK licensing system–and used in violation of international treaties as a result.
ASMP executive director Eugene Mopsik, who was one of the letter's signatories, says of the UK's new orphan works law: "It's not the end of the world, but there are significant concerns," although he adds that it is difficult to predict the effects of rules that haven't been written yet. He agrees that the issues of orphan works and widespread theft of images online are issues that governments have to address. But he says, "The devil is in the details."
Mopsik says metadata is easily stripped from digital image files, so under orphan works laws, photographers can easily lose control of their intellectual property through no fault of their own. Their work can be used in ways they find objectionable, and unauthorized uses can undercut their markets–and their income, he says.
But he says ASMP is not opposed to orphan works laws provided that photographers are given certain protections, including the exclusion of any commercial uses under orphan works legislation, requirements that users search diligently enough for copyright holders, and requirements that users post notice of their intent to use an image–so photographers have a chance to learn if their images are about to be classified as orphan works.
How good or bad it the orphan works law ends up being for photographers, Mopsik says, depends upon how lawmakers define terms like commercial use and diligent search.
Jeff Sedlik, co-founder, president and CEO of the PLUS Coalition, is also opposed to collective licensing systems that are opt-out (like the UK system seems to be) rather than opt-in. But he believes it is incumbent upon copyright holders to register their works, in order to prevent those works from becoming orphans because the metadata is inevitably stripped away. But the registry must be centralized–or consist of registries in different countries that are all connected together and searchable at once–in order to effectively protect copyright, he says.

Renegade Chef: A bloody experiment
I know a bartender who makes a mean Bloody Mary. I'll call him Bill, because that's his name.
He would love to market his secret recipe but "Bill's BM Mix" sounds more like the name of a bike store, or worse, something unfit to drink.
If you think this is where I unveil Bill's magic method for concocting the best Bloody Mary this side of Jenkins — well, you are sadly mistaken. Bill won't part with it.
In fact, whenever the subject is broached, he gets a sly grin on his face and his eyeballs shine with dollar signs as he rubs his fingers together in that universal pantomime that says, "Show me the money."
I've never been able to afford the $5 it would take to get his recipe, but it sure did get me to thinking — and concocting.
One needs to be careful when researching the intricacies of creating the perfect Bloody Mary. While there are many possible combinations of splashes, spices and deliciously edible garnishes, it is important to remember the key ingredient in the drink is vodka — preferably something top-shelf.
That said, if it takes more than six attempts to reach perfection, the whole process could get quite messy. Therefore, I will take it upon myself to conduct this dangerous but oh-so-necessary research. God speed!
Hey, they were all pretty good — 'cept not as good as Steve's or Bill's or whoever he is, you know that bartender just south of North Jenkins I told you about? The one that makes the best Muddy Larry this side of, where was that again?

Dangerous consequences from 'cinnamon challenge'
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Someone could be raiding your spice rack for a very weird reason. It's an online dare, but it comes with a big warning.
This dangerous fad is called the 'cinnamon challenge' and is showing up in hundreds of YouTube videos. The dare is to swallow a spoonful of cinnamon and keep it down for a minute.
Brittany Bremer of Colorado Springs posted a video of herself suffering afterwards. She tells KRDO her throat swelled so much she need to go to the E.R.. Bremer says the doctors treated her with steroids.
Emily Orwig of Colorado Springs also admits to trying the dare with her friends more than once. "It starts to burn really bad, it sticks your whole mouth together and you end up spitting it out," she described.
While Emily and her friends were alright, there are serious health hazards. On Monday, Pediatrics Online issued a warning saying at least 30 teens nationwide needed medical attention after attempting the feat.
"In that moment when you spit that out, you can also inhale. You run the risk of inhaling this very fine powder down into your airways," said Dr. Dave Nigh. Nigh says a severe cough could cause a person's lung to collapse or put a hole in their airway.

Bridgewater isn't even a 1st round pick huh Mike Mayock?
Still don't know why TB was done so dirty pre-draft. He was the best QB in the class and it wasn't even close imo. Great showing for him today.
1) his hands are very small for an NFL QB. This seems like a minor point but smaller hands QBs do tend to fumble more and often struggle in poor weather condition games. However, since he was drafted by Minnesota, who plays in a dome, this point doesnt matter so much.
The 2nd negative is the 1 major worry i had and that is his slight frame. There were reports that scouts after the season were reminded of RG3's slight frame when they saw Teddy. Many felt he would be injury prone in the NFL. While he did play well on the field yesterday, he also left the field injured. We'll have to see if this is an ongoing thing with him but it could be that the scouts were right about him too.
I've heard a lot of reports which I still questioned. His frame seemed to be the biggest one which I'm still unsure about at least enough for him to take a fall that far and still go after Manziel.
I've also heard polar reviews of his personality. Not so much of a negative character concern that may get in trouble, but more of questioning whether he had that maturity and leadership mentality to run an NFL team. I may have bought that if he wasn't so poised in the pocket.
Teddy had the bad pro day throwing without the gloves which is where I feel the judgement's were made way too harsh. They picked him to pieces after that and disregarded what the guy has done on the field which is the exact opposite of what Mayock uses to pump up other players who have bad workouts. Mayock: "Just put on the tape." Yeah right... Mayock did the same thing with Cam Newton while he goes out of the woodwork to praise guys like Blaine Gabbert. It's freaking annoying and his rap gets old. He's good at eyeing talent at DB, but awful when it comes to QB's.
Anyone in their right mind can see that Teddy's pocket presence, poise and decision making is special.
As to the "gloves" issue. That tied in with the hand size issue reported at the combine.
Furthermore, as to his adding weight, that really doesnt matter. Weight and frame are different. You can add all the muscle you want but if you have a slight frame you are going to be considered a durability risk. I know when RG3 came out Redeye and I both noted that the kid had sticks for legs and his frame looked very small. As it turns out, our concerns were correct. Bridgewater is similarly built with small legs. It may not matter, he may end up playing a long career. But, scouting is about playing the percentages and Mobile Qbs with slight frames and skinny legs are definitely a risk.
That said, Bridgewater was easily the most pro ready QB to come out. However, quietly Bortles in Jacksonville is also looking decent, though he plays for a terrible team. I can defintely say those are the ONLY 2 guys who came out who I thought deserved 1st round consideration. Coincedentally, they both had smaller than ideal hand size.

text: Very untrue Max in that panic attacks can last from just a few minutes to hours if they repeatedly occur making it seems like it seem like its a prolonged panic attack. I can almost guarantee that it is not heart related due to the fact I know they ran a great deal of tests on his heart such as an ekg, echo cardiogram, blood tests, enzyme tests, blood pressure monitoring, stress test, vo2 max test, and holter monitoring for the 2 days he was under observation for a prior episode.Panic attacks are such that the symptoms can be so intense that they can mimic a heart attack, sycope (fainting), and it is not uncommon for people to even feel paralysis for short perods of time. It can happen..... There is no real tsst for panic disorder only psycoloigcal screening and treatment. The really good thing is that panic disorder is not even in the least life threatening and I say again it can be controlled well by psychological treamtment/medication. If this is the case then Stuckey will be just fine and may even be back at the end of the season if they rule out any other causes for his episode.

Why Target SodaStream?
The following information and photos are from a report by Who Profits from the Occupation? entitled: "Production in Settlements: The Case of SodaStream."
Mishor Edomin
SodaStream's main production site is in the illegal West Bank settlement (Ma'aleh Adumim) and industrial zone of Mishor Edomin. Companies that produce in the settlements enjoy several structural advantages, such as tax incentives, lax enforcement of regulations, as well as additional governmental support. Despite SodaStream's location in the West Bank, goods produced here do not serve the local population; instead, 65% of goods are shipped elsewhere and taxes and profits go to support the Israeli economy---not Palestinians. The settlement of Ma'aleh Adumin itself is strengthened by the factory's taxes, which go towards activities like road construction and municipal employee salaries. Additionally, this settlement is strategically positioned to disconnect the southern West Bank from central and northern areas to prevent Palestinian movement and development (see map below).
Exploitation of Palestinian labor
Palestinians who work in the settlements often face exploitative labor conditions, and because they are treated as occupied subjects rather than citizens, depend on their employers for work permits. These permits can be denied for "security reasons" after any kind of labor disagreement with an employer; therefore, Palestinian workers are unable to demand their legal labor rights without risking current and future sources of employment. SodaStream factory workers suffer from harsh working conditions including pay well below the minimum wage despite their entitlement under Israeli law to the same rights as Israeli workers.
"Made in Israel"???
The European Court of Justice has ruled that the settlements are not part of the state of Israel and so any agreements made between Israel and the European Union regarding the trade of goods do not apply to settlement goods. However, Israel continues to mislabel settlement goods as "Made in Israel"---in some countries, this is considered consumer fraud. According to a company report to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the entire production of its carbonation devices takes place within the Mishor Edomim Industrial Park. And yet, SodaStream regularly fails to label its products accurately and instead writes "Made in Israel" or sometimes, "Made in China," misleading consumers.

Kids Need More Free Time, Less Structure
Kids who are given more free time to explore and play are better able to set and reach their goals than children immersed in a strictly scheduled day according to a new study.
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder conducted the first scientific study that looked at the question of how scheduled / formal lifestyles can affect a child's neural development.
Senior author Yuko Munakata is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at CU-Boulder. His reasoning for conducting a study on this issue was in response to the ongoing debate about parenting philosophy in the media and on parenting blogs. Are strict parents more effective, or do easygoing parents provide a better lifestyle for their children?
The study included 70 six-year-olds whose parents recorded their daily activities for a week. After compiling all of the information, the researchers grouped the children's activities into two categories: "more structured" or "less structured." Structured activities included chores, physical lessons, non-physical lessons, and religious activities. Less structured activities encompassed playing alone or with others, social outings, sightseeing, reading, and media time.
The study results revealed that the kids who spent more time involved in the less structured activities exhibited a better self-directed executive function than those involved in structured activities. The self –directed executive function was determined through a verbal fluency test.
"This isn't perfect, but it's a first step," said Munakata in a news release "Our results are really suggestive and intriguing. Now we'll see if it holds up as we push forward and try to get more information."
Munakata says he's hoping a longitudinal follow-up study can be done with the participants to see if the findings hold up.
The study was published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.

WOW I'll stick to beer... B2B
Iposted this on another forum, but thought you guys would get a kick out of it.
On Christmas day, 2005 while working in China, I was kinda down in the dumps since Christmas in China has about as much meaning as the 4th of July in Dubai. So my mother in law decided to make me the old family recipe snake wine. Its tonic that is consumed in small quantities. It has to be aged for 2 years or they say it can kill ya.
Anyway We went to the stock yards. Me, my wife, mother in law and daughter..What an experience. They had pigs, cats, dogs, horses, chickens, geese and every other thing they eat over here, including snakes. I saw a lady buy a cat. The cat dealer takes the cat out of the cage, whacks it on the head with a stick, and puts in a bag and gives it to the lady. I was speechless.
There were 3 snake dealers. We visited one, but his price was too high, so we went off to the next dealer, and those werent the right kind of snakes (they were about 8 feet long, and in a big hole, and looked like pit vipers- copper head looking things). Dealer number 3, didnt have the right kind of snakes either. Ma Ma was looking for something called "Past The Mountain Snakes."
So we went back to dealer number 1. We agreed on the price and he grabbed a crate, which relieved me, and I thought cool, they are in a crate so maybe they are dead. He pops the lid on the crate and out pop the snakes, and they spread their hoods. I thought hmmmmm, "Past the Mountain Snakes" means cobras. The dealer asked me, do you want to grab the snakes or do you want me to? I replied, "hey son, you go right ahead, I will watch".
Well it was the most hilarious thing. I'm watching the guy grab the snakes, my wife , mother in law, daughter are all close behind me. I'd lean in for a closer look (everyone would lean in- in unison). One of the snakes would hiss or spit, and we would all jump back in unison.
The dealer grabs the snakes, one by one and hits their heads on the concrete floor to stun them. I saw one of the snakes next to the guys ankle moving and told my wife, that guy is gonna get bit. My wife replied, Oh dont worry, that guy has killed a lot of snakes. Those snakes are afraid him. I said, "yep, hes gonna be saying that in the ambulance, or somebodies gonna say it at his funeral " .
He breaks the tail and drains out the blood (snake blood spoils the wine). He throws them in a big jar (7 kgs of snakes) and covers them with 10 kgs of rice wine. I notice the 2 biggest snakes are still moving. In the bottle, and say,hey those 2 aren't dead yet
The guy replies- "dont worry they will drown in the wine". . He wraps the jar up in cardboard. We all go back home. A few hours later my wife wants to see the snakes. I say honey, you cant drink the stuff for a year or two, just leave it wrapped up. Well, she was adamant about peeking at the snakes. So I unwrapped the jar, and the two biggest cobras are alive, heads above the wine, banging their heads on the lid trying to get out.
I said "Yikes! The buggers are still alive." I thought hmmmmm, they know I'm the reason they are in that jar. I'm thinking they are gonna escape and bite the crap out of me.
At that point, said photo below was taken, since I know most people ain't gonna believe I got a jar of wine with 4 dead and 2 live cobras in it.
I spent the next few hours shaking that bottle, so the wine went over those 2 snake heads. I didnt go to sleep, until they were under that wine, motionless for 30 minutes.
Thats how you get a jar of cobra wine.
That is awesome..
Cobra wine is not bad with roast cat. Oh my God, with no disrespect to the Oriental people.. People have not lived till they go too an Oriental market..
Not talking an all you can eat Chinese buffet here in the states, uh no..
If it moves, those people eat it. Hell if it don't move they eat it..
The roasted cockroaches or crickets were a hot seller.. They eat them like peanuts..
Almost, almost popped one in my mouth.. Few more beers I think I could have done it..

4th, Long time no see.
How are ya? Im still a kicking!
I'm back in the States, waiting for the M-38 mosin, the second K-31 and the p-64 to arrive. While I was a working in China 15 guns and multiple crates of ammo arrived. My wife complains the ranch looks like the army fort.
She don't complain too much though. Get this, she told me 'I saved 250 dollars".
Now to me that means you put 250 dollars in the bank.
That was not the case.
Upon investigating, and translating womenspeak to man speak that meant ....
"She went shopping for shoes yesterday and bought a pair. She bought the Manolo's instead of the Jimmy Choo's and SPENT 600 dollars"
But on the bright side she don't complain about how much money I spend on guns or crates of ammo.
Oh God, talking about eating food that moves, I was working in Korea in Yeosu once.
They took me out for Shushi.
Korean Shushi is alive.
They brought out a baby octopus, chopped off its it tentacles. I ate em, with a soju backer (potato liquor) to wash it down. Them darn tentacle suckers stuck on my throat , you could feel them stick, flip and wiggle all the way down to the stomach. And then there was the angry octopus head left, just a staring at you, but armless and could not do much about the situation.
Then we had fish, that was semi filleted but the fish was alive. Its eye was a moving all around while we were picking meat off it.
Don't even get me started on the sea cucumbers. I was pretty drunk by then, but noticed they kept crawling off the plate kinda slow if you took too long to eat them.
Sea worms, and then Fish Kimchi (which is a delicacy to them but basically rotten fish to us). Worst thing I ever ate in my life. The crap smelled like ammonia and was just awful. I gagged but ate 1 piece.
They said I did pretty good and was the only westerner that ever ate every dish. I couldn't wait to get back to China for some R&R (rice and ratmeat) and some sensible food like fried scorpions.
Montenyardrs loved roasted rat and fire cooked tarantula.. Took the hair off it, done, down the hatch.. Guy spots one, stopped us dead in our tracks.
Damn thing was about a foot wide, were ready to shoot it. One guy suggested a frag, we talked him out of that. Then a yard comes along, grabs the damn thing with his bare hands. Bravest man I eve saw in my life and thanks us, dinner.
You make it too Cambodia? My Bro is over there rolling money on real-estate like all get out.
We were going to buy a bar few years ago.. 25 grand.. We went back 75 grand.
Chinese, who have all the worlds money, are in their buying anything with a roof.. Hold six months sell..
Govt. took possession of all land 200 meters near any water.. Saving that for George Sorryos, and Donal Trump, I guess?
Beautiful country, corrupt as hell. I like it..

OK, guys I'll stick to my beer and Nebraska tastebuds.
Howdy 4th,
Just got back from the range. My wife took her CHL class/test today and passed with flying colors. Perfect score on the shooting test. The instructor was amazed. I said I had her shooting a 4 inch diameter spinner, and she could hit every time at 15 yards, so hitting that target in the 8-ring or better was no problem for her.
Her target below (she saved it and is real proud)
Tarantulas, Geez. I never had to eat one of those yet.
I never made it to Cambodia yet . I almost had to go there for work but it fell through. I did work alot in Nam in 07 & 08. I spent some time in Buon Me Thuot (Central highlands) not too far from the Cambodian border. Best darn coffee I ever drank and fried chicken I ever ate in my life.
The chickens ran around through the little restaurant (for lack of a better term) and you pointed at the one you wanted and they grabbed it, killed it, plucked it, gutted it and fried it. Now that's fresh!
Them darn chickens knew what was going on too. When a large group came in for dinner, they would head for the hills.
Now I know where the producers of Star Trek got their Klingon dinner menus! Any of these dishes look familiar?
If those tentacles were a little smaller they would look extremely familiar.

Rendering mathematical surfaces and objects in tactile form requires both time and creativity
sarah-marie belcastro
I have known how to knit since elementary school, but I can't quite remember when I first started knitting mathematical objects. At the latest, it was during my first year of graduate school. I knitted a lot that year, because I never got enough sleep and needed to keep myself awake during class. During the fall term I made a sweater for my dad, finishing the seams right after my last final, and in the spring I completed a sweater for my mom. Also that spring, during topology class, I knitted a Klein bottle, a mathematical surface that is infinitely thin but formed in such a way that its inside is contiguous with its outside (see Figure 1). I finished the object during a lecture. It was imperfect, but I was excited, and at the end of class I threw it to the professor so he could have a look.
Over the years I've knitted many Klein bottles, as well as other mathematical objects, and have continually improved my designs. When I began knitting mathematical objects, I was not aware of any earlier such work. But people have been expressing mathematics through knitting for a long time. The oldest known knitted mathematical surfaces were created by Scottish chemistry professor Alexander Crum Brown. (For more about Crum Brown's work, click the image at right). In 1971, Miles Reid of the University of Warwick published a paper on knitting surfaces. In the mid-1990s, a technique for knitting Möbius bands from Reid's paper was reproduced and spread via the then-new Internet. (Nonmathematician knitters also created patterns for Möbius bands; one, designed to be worn as a scarf, was created by Elizabeth Zimmerman in 1989.) Reid's pattern made its way to me somehow, and it became the inspiration for a new design for the Klein bottle. Math knitting has caught on a bit more since then, and many new patterns are available. Some of these are included in two volumes I coedited with Carolyn Yackel: Making Mathematics with Needlework (2007) and Crafting by Concepts (2011).
You might wonder why one would want to knit mathematical objects. One reason is that the finished objects make good teaching aids; a knitted object is flexible and can be physically manipulated, unlike beautiful and mathematically perfect computer graphics. And the process itself offers insights: In creating an object anew, not following someone else's pattern, there is deep understanding to be gained. To craft a physical instantiation of an abstraction, one must understand the abstraction's structure well enough to decide which properties to highlight. Such decisions are a crucial part of the design process, but for the specifics to make sense, we must first consider knitting geometrically.

SAXONWOLD (Lisa Thornton for APCNews) - Africa faces two serious challenges regarding internet connectivity – high prices and unreliable connections. The SAT-3/WASC cable, a submarine cable that runs from Portugal to South Africa, has the potential to help alleviate some of the connectivity challenges however, a study released by the APC in May 2008 and now in French and Portuguese written by Abiodun Jagun, reveals that the cable remains largely under-utilised. APCNews talks to Abi Jagun about her findings. More
LONDON (Russell Southwood for APC) - As other African countries along the SAT-3 submarine internet cable struggle with the high costs of monopolised international bandwidth, Mauritius has encouraged a lowering of prices through price-setting. But Mauritius Telecom had lowered its rates even before the government scale came into effect. As a result, the Cyber Island has seen a significant increase in its call centre and outsourcing sectors. Can Mauritius provide lessons to countries that are looking to boost their economies? This study written by Russell Southwood for APC in May, and now available for the first time in French and Portuguese, examines the relationship between international bandwidth prices in Mauritius and the impact of its Cyber Island strategy. More
LONDON (Computer Aid) - APC member Computer Aid is urging the UK government to take action against the illegal dumping of e-waste (computers, hard drives, cd roms, etc.) in countries such as Ghana, Nigeria and China. It is calling on the government to provide adequate funding for the Environment Agency to effectively police and prevent e-waste from being exported to the developing world. The campaign also targets commercial traders that are abusing re-use and recycling initiatives and computer manufacturers that are turning a blind eye to their equipment being dumped in these countries.

Gervinho believes there is no clear favourite for this season's Champions League.
While Arsenal have already qualified for the last 16, Chelsea need results to go their way if they are to advance and Manchester City have already been knocked out.
The Ivorian says that while Barcelona and Real Madrid may be favourites, the Gunners have every chance in the competition.
"There have been teams who won it and no one expected it," Gervinho told Arsenal.com.
"Every year, we fight hard in every competition to win it. In 2004, Arsenal didn't lose a single game and won the league and it was totally unexpected. And no other team has done it since.
"We are a big club with great players. One of the objectives is to win the Champions League. We will do anything we can to do it.
"I don't think Barcelona and Real Madrid have been at their best this season, Chelsea are not through yet and Manchester United have had to work hard to win their games too, so it shows that this season there is no big favourite.
"I think the club who is surprising everybody at the moment is Malaga. It's the first time they have played in the Champions League and they managed to finish top of their group ahead of AC Milan with some great performances and some good football. They have really impressed me this season."

Clean and quiet apartment in a very lively
Studio propre et calme dans un quartier très animé
A recommander
The location is the best you can find in Paris. Central area from which you can walk to some of the main attractions of the city. Served by three underground stations. Pascal is very helpful and kind. The apartment is very small but the rest is used only for sleeping. Paris is beautiful.
L'ubicazione è quanto di meglio si possa trovare a Parigi. Zona centralissima dalla quale è possibile raggiungere a piedi alcune della attrazioni principali della citta. Servita da ben tre stazioni della metropolitana. Pascal è molto disponibile e gentile. L'appartamento è molto piccolo ma del resto viene utilizzato solo per dormirci. Parigi è bellissima.
The stay very well, a little weird at first because the owner had left us the keys in the mailbox and it cost us a while to find the apartment, but then it was worth. The study is such that the photos, the room overlooks a small courtyard but you forget to step out because this great location and lots of atmosphere in the street. This close to the metro and a 20 min walk from Notredame. The gracious host (only knew him by phone and email) at all times.
I think I would repeat except in summer heat has to paint in the studio and not air.
La estancia muy bien, al principio un poco raro porque el propietario nos había dejado las llaves en el buzón y nos costo un poco encontrar el apartamento, pero luego mereció la pena. El estudio es tal cual las fotos, la habitación da a un patio pequeño pero en cuanto sales te olvidas porque esta muy bien situado y hay mucho ambiente en la misma calle. Esta cerca del metro y a unos 20 min andando de Notredame. El anfitrión muy agradable (sólo lo conocimos por teléfono e email) en todo momento.
Creo que repetiríamos salvo en verano que tiene pinta de hacer calor en el estudio y no tiene airé.
The apartment is in a fabulous location. It is close to all the main sites. The street is beautiful and provides opportunity to live like local. It provides a real Paris experience. The apartment is great for a short stay and has everything you need. Pascal was very helpful. We would love to stay here again.
Hello, we very much appreciated the hospitality and especially the availability of the host. warm, cozy and clean. we will not hesitate to return again thank you.
nous avons très apprécié l'accueil et surtout la disponibilité de l'hôte.
accueil chaleureux, endroit agréable et propre.
nous n'hésiterons pas à revenir
encore merci.
Pascal is a really nice guy. Appartment was ok, even though it lacked dishes.
We were 4 people, for a few days, the accommodation ranges from completely. The area is very central to reach close to the subway and to all points of interest very well. The apartment was clean, the toilet unfortunately too narrow and the sink while super modern but not really cheap. Pascal was very friendly and helpful, especially reliable. All the best.
Wir waren 4 Personen, für ein paar Tage reicht die Unterkunft völlig aus.
Die Gegend ist sehr zentral, nah zur U-Bahn und zu allen Sehenwürdigkeiten
sehr gut zu erreichen.
Das Apartment war sauber, die Toilette leider zu eng und der Waschbecken zwar supermodern aber nicht wirklich günstig.
Pascal war sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereit, vor allem zuverlässig.
Alles Gute.
It was first time to use BNB
The area is good. It's so close to central Paris attractions.
However the flat itself is down a narrow and quite dark alleyway and staircase which was quite run down. Outside made me feel a uneasy and we couldn't find our room ourselves at first(namecard itself was very small on the gate and guide paper was terrible).
The flat is fine,but too hot with no fan.
We had to have the window open and the other flats were so close noise was a bit of a problem. Wi-fi is great, as is the space in the flat-it's not big and there was dirty blanket with yellow stain so we didn't use blanket all day(5days). It was terrible.
Even though area was perfect but I'll never use BNB service after this experience.
We stayed one night in Pascal and we did not regret our choice! The apartment is spacious, clean and well decorated. It feels comfortable and the bed is very comfortable! In addition, the apartment is very well located, 5 minutes from Chatelet Metro. Finally, once the reservation is made, Pascal is reactive. He contacted us quickly and explains very well what to do to get to the apartment without problem and ensures once the stay is over everything went well. The value for money is very justified. Apartment advise! Alex
Nous avons séjourné chez Pascal une nuit et nous n'avons pas regretté notre choix ! L'appartement est spacieux, propre et bien décoré.
On se sent à l'aise et le lit est très confortable ! De plus, l'appartement est très bien situé, à 5 minutes à peine du métro Châtelet.
Enfin, une fois la réservation faite, Pascal est réactif. Il nous contacte vite et nous explique très bien les démarches à suivre pour arriver à l'appartement sans problème et s'assure une fois le séjour terminé que tout s'est bien passé.
Le rapport qualité prix est très justifié. Appartement à conseiller !
Very nice apartment, clean and well equipped. It is very well located, close to the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysees so but also close to all transport links for exploring the city.The host was very friendly and it was a very pleasant stay! A counselor and again soon ..
Très bel appartement, propre et bien équipé. Il est très bien situé, proche de l'Arc de Triomphe et donc des Champs Élysées mais aussi proche de tous les transports pour visiter la ville.L'hôte fut très avenant et ce fut un séjour très agréable ! A conseiller et à refaire prochainement..

text: I voted City, although I actually live within the city limits of a small town. My town is settled right at the crossroads of I-95 and I-40, which is the main route for drug trafficking along the east coast. We have a huge problem with drugs and crime around here. I carry either a Glock19 or SigP220 currently. The Leo's carry Glock 22's. In my town, anything you see on the news can happen here just as easily. Our Police Department building is also shared by the Highway Patrol, Troop C division, which is a little comforting to know should anything go down here in town. I just couldn't see carrying a pocket gun around here. At least a compact for me.


text: Trying to figure out if there is any way to set the fog lights to come on by default with the auto-on headlights. I was able to have this set on my last car (Chrysler 300 SRT8) by the dealership so when the lights kicked on, the fogs came on as well by default. Is a dealership able to do the same on the GMT900 platforms? Thanks! /r Allen
