Publication 111, Operators of Swap Meets, Flea Markets, or Special Events
November 2013
- Operators
- Sellers and Vendors
- Additional Information
If you operate a swap meet, flea market, or special event in California, state law requires you to keep written records of all people who sell at your events. You may not rent space to sellers unless they give you the written documentation described in this publication.
What is a swap meet, flea market, or special event?
A swap meet, flea market, or special event is any event where:
- Two or more people or businesses offer merchandise for sale or exchange, and
- Prospective sellers are charged a fee for space rental or prospective buyers are charged an admission fee.
Required seller information you must obtain
Information requirements depend on the seller's status.
You must:
- Document certain information on all sellers who conduct activities on premises you own or control.
Convenient form for required seller information
You can use a BOE-410-D, Swap Meets, Flea Markets, or Special Events Certification, to obtain the required information from your sellers. The form is also available by calling our Customer Service Center at 1-800-400-7115.
If you choose not to use the form, it is important that you still obtain all of the required seller information, in writing.
The required seller information includes:
- Seller's business name
- Mailing address
- Telephone number
- Driver license number or state issued-identification (ID) and the name of the issuing state
- Description of items sold or displayed
- Seller's permit number
If no seller's permit is required to be held, then a reason must be provided by the seller, such as:
- My retail product sales are not subject to tax
- My sales are exempt occasional sales
- I sell on behalf of a section 6015 retailer
- I am a qualified itinerant vendor
Although it is not required, we recommend you obtain a copy of each seller's permit for your records. It is important to retain copies of seller verification documents for at least four years.
BOE verification of seller's permit status
You may not rent space to sellers until you have verification that they hold a valid seller's permit, unless, they are not required to hold a seller's permit as provided in the previous section.
If we send you a request for information on sellers who have conducted activities on your premises, you must provide this information or copies of individual seller verification documents within 30 days of our written request. We will verify the information you provide and let you know if any of the sellers at your event incorrectly represented their seller's permit status.
Verify a seller's permit
You must have the seller's permit number that you want to verify. A typical permit number begins with the letters SR followed by two or three more letters and an eight- or nine-digit number, for example: SR-KHE-12-345678 or SR-AR-123-456789). The BOE offers a number of convenient ways to check for a valid seller's permit. You can:
- Select "Verify a Permit or License"
- Call our automated, toll-free number at 1-888-225-5263
- Use our free mobile application to verify a permit or license from the convenience of your smart phone.
Note: A cigarette/tobacco license and an eWaste Recycling Fee account can also be verified.
BOE site visits
Our representatives periodically visit selling events to verify that operators have complied with the legal requirements for operating a swap meet, flea market, or special event. Our representatives may also check to see that sellers making taxable sales are displaying their seller's permits as required by law.
At each visit, BOE employees will:
- Identify themselves and show identification;
- Verify the existence of a seller's permit, fee permits and other business licenses/permits that may be required, including a city or county business license, if appropriate;
- Review your required documentation to verify that it is updated with the correct information;
- Provide guidance on reporting your information correctly;
- Answer questions you may have.
What happens if I don't have the right documentation for my event?
If you do not keep permit and/or license information on all sellers who conduct activities on premises you own or control, you may be violating state law (Revenue and Taxation Code section 6073).
You may be required to pay a penalty of up to $1,000 for each seller for which you fail to keep records if that person is required to hold a seller's permit and does not hold a valid permit for sales made on your premises.
Note: This publication summarizes the law and applicable regulations in effect when the publication was written, as noted above. However, changes in the law or in regulations may have occurred since that time. If there is a conflict between the text in this publication and the law, the application of tax will be based on the law and not on this publication
Sellers and Vendors
Information you must provide the operator
You can use a BOE-410-D, Swap Meets, Flea Markets, or Special Events Certification, to provide the required information to the operator of the event where you sell your items. The form is also available by calling our Customer Service Center at 1-800-400-7115.
Sellers who must hold a seller's permit
People who sell new or used merchandise in California, including handcrafted items, are generally required to hold a seller's permit. Sellers who are required to hold permits must give operators, in writing, their:
- Business name
- Mailing address
- Telephone number
- Driver license number or state-identification (ID) along with the name of the issuing state
- Description of items sold or displayed
- Seller's permit number
Even though it is not required, we recommend you provide a copy of your seller's permit to the event operator.
Permit requirements for selling at temporary locations
You need to register for a sub-permit for the temporary location, even if you already hold a seller's permit for your permanent place of business. You will report the sales made at these locations when filing your sales and use tax returns.
We offer a number of easy ways for you to register and obtain a sub-permit. You can apply:
- Online, or
- In person at our field offices and state that you would like to register and obtain a sub-permit for your temporary selling location(s).
If you need assistance, call our Customer Service Center at 1-800-400-7115, weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time), except state holidays.
When you register for these temporary locations, you will ensure that cities and counties receive the appropriate local and district taxes.
What should I do when the event is completed?
You must notify the BOE in writing, by calling us, or by visiting one of our field offices, if you no longer make sales at a business location, including a temporary selling location registered under your account.
Sellers who are not required to hold a seller's permit
Certain sellers may not be required to hold a seller's permit. You can use a BOE-410-D, Swap Meets, Flea Markets, or Special Events Certification, to provide the required information to the operator of the event where you sell your items. The form is also available by calling our Customer Service Center at 1-800-400-7115.
If you are not required to hold a seller's permit, you must identify that:
- You are an occasional seller
- All of your retail sales are tax exempt
- You sell only items purchased from section 6015 retailers
- You are a qualified itinerant vendor
Sellers who fall under conditions 2, 3, or 4 must describe the items they sell and state that they do not have to pay tax on those sales.
Occasional sellers
Due to the number, scope, and character of their selling activities, some sellers are not required to hold a seller's permit. For example, a person that holds a garage sale no more than two times each year could qualify as an occasional seller. Please see Regulation 1595, Occasional SalesSale of a BusinessBusiness Reorganization, for additional information on occasional sellers.
Sellers who make only exempt sales
Some sellers are not required to hold a seller's permit because all of their sales are exempt from sales and use tax. For example, if they sell only fresh produce or other cold food products "to go" they do not need a seller's permit. However, cold food sellers do need a seller's permit if they:
- Sell food to be consumed in places where admission is charged,
- Sell carbonated or alcoholic beverages, or
- Provide tables, chairs, counters, or other dining facilities for their customers.
Please see Regulation 1602, Food Products, and Regulation 1603, Taxable Sales of Food Products, and publication 22, Dining and Beverage Industry, for additional information regarding food and beverage sales.
Section 6015 retailers
Some sellers are not required to hold a seller's permit because they sell only products purchased from dealers we have approved as section 6015 retailers. The seller is required to provide the name of the product supplier to operators. For example, people who sell new Avon or Tupperware usually buy those items from section 6015 retailers.
Qualified itinerant vendors
From April 1, 2010, through December 31, 2022 some U.S. veterans are considered "qualified itinerant vendors." They are the consumers of the products they sell under certain conditions. As consumers, qualified itinerant vendors are not required to hold a seller's permit.
There are some exceptions. Itinerant veteran vendors who are engaged in catering or vending machine businesses, or who sell alcoholic beverages or single items for more than $100, are generally required to obtain a seller's permit. For additional information, you may refer to Revenue and Taxation Code section 6018.3, Itinerant Veteran Vendors.
If you are not sure whether you need a seller's permit or whether your sales are taxable, you may contact our Customer Service Center for help at
1-800-400-7115, weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time), except state holidays.

Gallup: Americans' distrust of the media hits a new high
posted at 11:21 am on September 21, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
Whaaaaat? The American public is growing increasingly suspicious that they're being fed a steady stream of waffle by a media establishment that does everything within its power to not only play up Romney's "gaffes," but to tell us in advance exactly how we should feel about them and to steamroll over President Obama's failures, all while more or less glossing over the disastrous goings-on of the world at large? What is the world coming to! From Gallup:
Americans' distrust in the media hit a new high this year, with 60% saying they have little or no trust in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly. Distrust is up from the past few years, when Americans were already more negative about the media than they had been in years prior to 2004. …
This year's decline in media trust is driven by independents and Republicans. The 31% and 26%, respectively, who express a great deal or fair amount of trust are record lows and are down significantly from last year. Republicans' level of trust this year is similar to what they expressed in the fall of 2008, implying that they are especially critical of election coverage.
Not surprisingly, when broken down by party, Democrats place the greatest trust in the mainstream media with 58 percent feeling a-okay with their news coverage, but only 26 percent of Republicans do. What is interesting, though, is that after independents' trust in the media fell below the 50-percent mark in 2004, it's only continued on a downward trajectory, and only 31 of independents today are feeling good about about the media painting a fair, accurate, and complete picture of the current political scene.
What has me really raising my eyebrow (the left one, to be specific), however, is how people replied to the question of whether or not they're paying particularly close to this presidential-election news cycle.
48 percent of Republicans are following presidential politics closely, but only 39 percent of Democrats are. So, in conjunction with yesterday's study suggesting that only 15 percent of Democrats believe that recent economic news is mostly poor, and if Democrats are really leading Republicans in the enthusiasm contest… Help me out here, folks: Are the more committed members of the Democratic faithful just in straight-up denial? Kind of like, oh, maybe a media establishment that skews unabashedly liberal and is hell-bent on constantly jabbing the public with less-than-subtle suggestions that Romney-voters should be discouraged and that President Obama has this in the bag? Is reality no longer of any consequence?

While not the most pretty, these eggs taste great.
1. Chop up larger tomatoes, or leave whole cherry tomatoes, and gently cook down in oil or butter, or a mix of both.
2. Once collapsed and coloured, pour over your just- beaten eggs and move around with a wooden spoon.
3. Keep the heat low, allowing the egg to form "curds".
4. Remove from the heat before the egg has fully set; the residual heat will finish the cooking.
5. Scatter with fresh herbs of your choice, or garnish with a large stem of your favourite.
You could sit the eggs on toast with a bed of rocket or baby spinach leaves.

The apartment is beautiful located with a fantastic rooftop terrace.
Elisabetta is a kind host and she gave us some tips for cultural experiences and nice places to eat.
Elisabetta is a very friendly host. She welcomed us at the apartment and explained the whole apartment, neighberhood and travel possibilities to us. We had a lovely weekend in Rome! We did not had the best weather so we were not able to use the rooftop terrace, but the view is awesome!
Even though the flat has a fantastic and spacious roof terrace with a splendid view and is aesthetically equipped, it is full of all kinds of things that others left, i.e. an opened pack of sausages or a tube of lubricating cream. It is even not really clean. The handles and knobs are somewhat sticky. Moreover, the door of the shower can only be closed from outside. The water is either icecold or really hot. Lukewarm water is only available for approx. two seconds when the water turns from cold to hot or vice versa.
Unfortunately, we did not get the chance to meet Elisabetta in person. Instead we met her husband Riccardo who phoned me six times in a 10 minutes period while we walked from the train station to the flat because he wondered why we had not yet arrived even though he knew that we had to carry our suitcases which might take 2 minutes longer than it normally takes him. We felt a little bit annoyed by his calls.
Despite all this, we had a lovely time in Rome and enjoyed the cultural Highlights of this very interesting city.
Great place to stay. Roof terrace is wonderful with amazing view, the appartment itself is very nice. Shower difficult to get the right temperature, that is the only thing that needs to be fixed. Great hospitality. Only a 10 minutes walk to the metro and two buses stop really close by. We had a wonderful time!
it's great view.
5 minute to metro.
1 minute to bus stop.
everything is perfect for me
it's good place for me.
Elisabetta was fast to contact me. Very good description of the appartment. We had a great stay i rome. Thanks.
Wonderful stay! It was such a great place to be, the terrace was amazing, everything is thought through : very well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed... adorable host who did her best to comply with our arrival time ! Just perfect !
And a bottle waiting for us as a welcome gift we'll definitely be back
Lovely appartment, warm and friendly. Beautifull terrace, and outdoor kitchen. Good bed. Elizabetta is a perfect host. Fast connections to the center of Rome. Triple A location for a reasonable price. Good restaurants in the area, like The Osteria in Via Enna. We certainly can recommend this appartment!
We really enjoyed staying at Elisabetta's penthouse. It was amazing to have an extravagant amount of space in Rome, and to have our own huge patio overlooking the city. We also enjoyed having a well-equipped kitchen and lots of separation between bedroom and living area. There is much to love about this penthouse, but there are also a few "loose ends". For instance, there is no shower door, so water tends to spray around the otherwise lovely bathroom. The place is somewhat cluttered (both inside and on the patio). The bed is comfortable, but the linens are not hotel quality. Also, you have to walk up one flight of steps to the 10th floor, as the elevator stops at the 9th. The neighbourhood is safe and friendly (despite appearances) and we enjoyed having a supermarket and a cappucino place close by. Five minute walk to the metro and very close to Tuscolana train station (easy access to airport). We plan to stay here again, and will recommend this place to our friends. Despite a few rough edges, this place is a wonderful bargain in Rome. Elisabetta is a wonderful host.

Is this what they call Henbit and is it good for bees? Thanks
Is this what they call Henbit and is it good for bees? Thanks
Last edited by RZRBCK BEE; 03-19-2011 at 12:17 PM. Reason: Resized photo
It is henbit, but I'm not sure if it's good for bees (maybe it is, since we have many acres of it around here )
I think it it nick named " Creeping Charlie " !!!
It is a weed that will take over a garden or even a lawn if you don't control it in some fashon.
Never really see bees work it & yes we have a lot of bees that sit on this stuff.
I have a yard full of Henbit and Purple Dead Nettle. The bees will work both but they don't work it every day, sort of hit and miss.
I agree, it is Henbit. Bees gather a lot of pollen from it. When working it you will see an orange-red dot of pollen on their foreheads.

Hey what's everyons favorit racing league, you know, like WRC, Grand AM, SCCA Pro, etc? Mine currently are WRC and D1.
I'm mostly into road racing, of pretty much any type. I often go down the SCCA / Valvoline Runoffs, at the end of the SCCA season. I Also like Vintage road racing, and the LeMans series.
I've only watched part of a couple of rally races on tv but I'll loved watching them! It was quite a change from nascar racing. I also like watching the Le Mans. Have any of you been to Laguna Seca to watch any of the old antique car races before?
Quote:Have any of you been to Laguna Seca to watch any of the old antique car races before?
It's a whole lot of fun. We've gone a couple times and it's just lot's fun. Afterwards you can go up close to the cars and talk to drivers which is fun too. We haven't camped out there like a lot of the people do though. It's also fun to watch the Skip Barbar classes and when they're in the cars and stuff too.
I've found that NASCAR gives me the most snooze per lap. Just can't stay awake for the whole thing. Give me the recliner, big old rootbeer, some cheese and chips, the remote and my little old dog...they start going round and round, eyes get heavy.....that's why I tivo them...catch the highlights after I wakeup
lol, that sounds chill, lol.
I know what you're saying man. I can hardly stay awake during a Nascar race! I watch the first 20 laps, then I go do something else (or fall asleep) and then come back and watch the last 20. I like the IRL pretty well. Those guys are real race car drivers, not like these sissy Nascar boys...WRC is pretty cool, although I haven't watched much of it, and F1 isn't bad either.
#1AMA Motocross#2Moto GP#3any bike racingFavorite car racing is #1Formula 1
I really liked Firestone Firehawk cars they were basically showroom stockThey had Firebird Transams vs Z28s vs porchesand Preludes vs mitsu eclipses and bmws..That was my favorite I like watching what REAL stock cars can do its the best IMO
i'm right there with you on the d1 and wrc. i'll watch any type of auto racing excluding nascar and nhra. favorite would have to be wrc.
where do you get to watch D1?
the same repeat that they show on discovery channel. i've seen a couple of vids on the net but since there is no d1 anywhere close to me thats about all i get.
chris do you have an oppinion on a yamaha wr450, or a yz450? what do you think of them?
ouch that sucks, I think they are starting to show D1 or Drift related stuff on G4, but since i don't have cable I'm not sure. I'm lucky to be able to get down to the D1 competition, haven't missed one since they brought the D1 GP to the US.

The Apollo-class was a class of Federation starship in operation during the 24th century.
They were in Starfleet service by the 2320s through the 2370s. (TNG: "Tapestry"; DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight") They were used on missions of deep-space exploration. (TNG Season 4, display graphic) The Vulcan National Merchant Fleet and the Maquis also utilized them as freighters and transports. These vessels were partially constructed out of dentarium alloy.
In 2364, a ship of the class, the USS Ajax, received Kosinski's experimental warp drive upgrades, resulting in a measurable increase in performance and engine efficiency. It was later suggested that the enhancement may have been attributed to Kosinski only straightening out simple engine inefficiencies of the old ship. (TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before")
In 2368, fragments from the navigational deflector array of a Vulcan transport of this class were recovered in the Hanolin asteroid belt from a downed Ferengi cargo ship in crates marked "medical supplies". The debris was spread over one hundred square kilometers. After running a molecular pattern trace, the ship was later identified as the T'Pau.
That vessel, and two others were later used by the Romulans as a "peace" envoy sent to Vulcan. These vessels traveled from Romulus and across the Romulan Neutral Zone at warp 1; aboard the three vessels were over two thousand Romulan troops.
Following the Federation's discovery of the Romulans true intentions, the invasion of Vulcan, the Romulan force retreated toward the Neutral Zone. Upon an attempted interception by the USS Enterprise-D, a Romulan Warbird destroyed the three Vulcan transports and all the troops on board. (TNG: "Unification I", "Unification II")
In 2372, Starfleet Command ordered the transport of several CFI replicators to Cardassia aboard a Vulcan freighter. It was later determined that the freighter was under Maquis control, and instead used the vessel to divert the replicators to the Demilitarized Zone and into their possession. Michael Eddington left aboard the Vulcan freighter as well, as he left behind his Starfleet career, and to join the Maquis full time. (DS9: "For the Cause")

Appendices Edit
Background information Edit
The Apollo-class name has appeared on screen only in a Starship mission status chart in Star Trek: The Next Generation. In the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., Vol. 2 M-Z, p. 334). the Vulcan spacecraft T'Pau, a ship mentioned in "Unification I", was identified as a member of the Apollo-class. In an internal ship list, dated to September 26, 1990, the freighter Odin was identified as a member of the Apollo-class. [1]
The Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., Vol. 2 M-Z, p. 329) also identified one of the starships lost at Wolf 359 as the USS Gage, an Apollo-class starship, with the registry of NCC-11672. The ship was only mentioned in a scene cut from the aired episode DS9: "Emissary". In the scene the Gage was ordered to attack the Borg cube with the USS Melbourne and the USS Kyushu. [2]
In the slightly modified later appearance as the Vulcan freighter, in "For the Cause", the model retained the raised aft section modification done for the appearance as the smaller Tosk starship, the cockpit windows of the Tosk version were also covered for this appearance.
The Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., Vol. 1 A-L, p. 36) stated this class of starship was "named for the sun god in Earth's Greek mythology, as well as for the spacecraft that first carried Humans to the moon."
For more information on history of this studio model, please see: Apollo-class.
Apocrypha Edit
According to Star Trek: Customizable Card Game pack Q-Continuum, the T'Pau was a ship of the Merchant-class.
In apocrypha materials there are several classes of Federation starships with the name Apollo-class.
- In The Price of Freedom sourcebook of the Last Unicorn role playing game, a class of light cruisers with a similar hull configuration to the Galaxy-class is identified as Apollo-class. They are 315 meters long and have 16 decks. The class was in production between 2325 and 2358.
- In later Last Unicorn supplements, the Vulcan T'Pau is also identified as the Apollo-class, with five decks and a length of 148 meters.
- In the video game Star Trek: Legacy, a class of ships similar to the refit-Constitution-class, but with a nacelle above and below the primary hull and no secondary hull, is identified as Apollo-class (β) scout ships.

Steamboat Springs The city of Steamboat Springs sees all of the new sandwich board signs that have popped up in front of businesses across town this month.
Now, the city's planning department hopes it starts to see the business owners who put out the signs apply for the sign permits they need to avoid a costly citation.
Code-enforcement officer Barb Wheeler said Tuesday that the city hasn't received any of the necessary applications for the many signs that have been deployed in the wake of the Steamboat Springs City Council's decision to temporarily allow the portable signs for the first time.
She said she recently counted about 12 to 15 new portable signs in the city, and many are out of compliance with city code.
The city moved to allow the signs after business owners said they greatly help attract customers into stores and restaurants.
One downtown merchant said the signs were so important to her business that the property owner instructed her to keep it out and offered to pay the fees associated with breaking the rule.
Wheeler said for liability reasons, there is a long list of rules to which the signs must adhere in order to be in compliance.
"The code says all signs require a permit," Wheeler said.
She said all portable signs require at least a sign permit from the city, which carries a $50 one-time fee.
Anything in the public right of way or sidewalk also requires a revokable permit, which carries a one-time fee of $75 as well as a recording fee from the county.
The signs at Central Park Plaza are unique in that they are on private property and do not require the revokable permit.
The revokable permits release the city from any liability that could result from someone tripping over a sign and injuring themselves or having one blow into the highway and damage a vehicle or cause a crash.
To prevent the latter scenario, all signs must be placed no more than 6 inches from a building and tethered securely to the business.
"We're going to start enforcing (the rules) this week," Wheeler said. "We wanted to get these rules out there before we get started."
City rules state that any sign holders' signs deemed in noncompliance will be subject to a municipal court citation with a fine of as much as $999 per day.
Before tickets are issued, Wheeler said business owners with noncompliant signs should expect this week to receive a visit from a code-enforcement officer with a sign application.
Property owners who have questions about the sign code can call Wheeler at 970-871-8274, or read the rules here.
To reach Scott Franz, call 970-871-4210 or email email@example.com

Reviews of this property
A nice little apartment with everything you need for a short stay ...
However, glasses and plates were not washed because they smelled old and dusty.
In addition, the entire room smelled old and dusty, as if it had not been cleaned weeks. (Especially the linen in which you have to sleep!)
I want to here the devil not paint on the wall, because I report only facts which made the stay in this room really uncomfortable.
I hope that the landlord of this room sees this as an opportunity to make its future guests stay nice and clean.
Eine schöne kleine Wohnung mit allem, was man für einen kurzen Aufenthalt braucht...
Jedoch waren Gläser und Teller nicht gewaschen, denn sie rochen alt und verstaubt.
Außerdem stank das komplette Zimmer alt und verstaubt, als sei es Wochen nicht gesäubert worden. ( Vorallem die Bettwäsche, in der man schlafen muss! )
Ich will hier den Teufel nicht an die Wand malen, denn ich berichte nur Tatsachen die den Aufenthalt in diesem Zimmer wirklich ungemütlich machten.
Ich hoffe dass der Vermieter dieses Zimmers dies als Möglichkeit sieht, seinen zukünftigen Gästen den Aufenthalt schöner und sauberer zu gestalten.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Everything was perfect .
Flat not so far from the center of the city, 5 minutes to underground Station.
Quite easy to reach from airport (Train + Metro).
The flat was clean enough, very good space for 5 people.
Kitchen have all the basic tools necessary to survive, the owner is flexible for arrival times.
Just a couple of suggestion:
- keep some cleaning tools and products in the house just if people need to wash dish;
- please call if you can not come to take back the keys, we wait 20 minutes for nothing at the end.
For the rest really good and suggest for your staying in Koln!!
Good bed, good location, good kitchen, good clean bathroom, the hostess was polite, close to city center.
No Wi-Fi, no heating. The price for this unit was overpriced in comparison to the units from other websites for rental apartments. We feel we had been taken advantage of due to the trade show at the time. It was a hotel price without hotel accommodations.
Overall, I am satisfied with the stay the hostess was very polite and helpful. I would come again but I would review the pricing ahead of time in the future.
the photographs did not represent the accommodation, which was very tired and had a few issues. altogether our stay was not unduly effected by these.
Cologne is a fabulous city worth a visit, it has a very efficient infra structure which makes getting about very easy.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
buiseness. good locaion. clean, comfortable.
Very clean and tidy. We loved it, everything was perfect!
Sehr sauber und ordentlich. Hat uns sehr gefallen, alles Bestens !
The apartment is nice consistent with the images. We had minor complaints reported via email and it was corrected immediately. Very good. Apartment in the vicinity of the shopping center and public transport. Can be warmly recommended.
Lägenheten fin som överensstämde med bilderna. Vi hade mindre anmärkningar som rapporterades via e-post och det åtgärdades direkt. Mycket bra. Lägenhet i närhet av köpcentrum och allmänna kommunikationer. Kan varmt rekommenderas.

Justine Tyerman finds Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage site on Italy's Ligurian Coast, just as she had envisaged.
Sometimes in life, reality lives up to the ridiculously-idealised visions you may have nurtured in daydreams for years. Cinque Terre - a cluster of five picturesque historic villages on the Italian Riviera - is such a fantasy, one I had treasured since watching a travel programme on television eons ago.
Even the place names - Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore - evoked dreamy images.
So my excitement grew to hyperventilation-pitch as we snatched enticing glimpses of the Ligurian Coast and the walkway we planned to do, between the annoyingly-frequent tunnels on our train journey from Milan to La Spezia.
The splashes of bright sunshine, pastel-coloured dwellings glued to sheer cliffs and dazzling light reflecting off the blue-green sea alternating with the pitch darkness of the tunnels had the dramatic effect of building tension like a thriller.
So when we arrived at Manarola - an exquisite little village with fishing boats pulled right up the steep main street - I just stood there transfixed.
It was all true.
Our tiny, pink gem of an apartment, built into a cliff face above the sea, had a little balcony with a spectacular view of the rugged coastline all the way to Monterosso al Mare. Sipping sciachetrà (the wine of the region) and watching the shimmering pathway of the sun setting over the Ligurian Sea were ample rewards for the many long, late hours spent trawling accommodation websites before we left home.
But be warned, the villages are totally car-free and built into the near-vertical hillsides which give the region its unique character. Getting to your accommodation - up narrow cobbled alleyways and dauntingly-steep steps - is part of the rich tapestry of the Cinque Terre (Five Lands) experience. So make sure you can carry everything you need on your back because trolley cases are useless.
Transport is by regular train and ferry services and the occasional electric bus.
Walking the Cinque Terre track is not tramping as we know it in New Zealand. Parts of the track are steep and narrow, but most of it is a meander along pathways through orchards and small settlements. A highlight was watching the local folk working in the vineyards and olive groves, perched on impossibly-narrow terraces, or rather ledges, which have been carved into the hillsides over the centuries.
We dawdled along the 10km path in the spring sunshine, sampling the local delicacies of anchovies, pesto, farinata and focaccia, cooling off in the heat of the day with gelato made from Corniglia honey, and refreshing plunges in the ocean.
The track could easily be walked in a day but if you want to absorb the beauty and the atmosphere of the region, spend at least three days in one of the little villages and explore some of the hinterland and history of the region.
Portofino, playground of the uber-rich with its obscenely-opulent yachts and mansions including villas owned by Silvio Berlusconi, Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani is definitely worth a day trip. Once there, take a 20-minute ferry ride to the utterly beautiful 1000-year-old San Fruttuoso Abbey.
We abandoned our plans for the rest of the day and spent the afternoon exploring the cloisters, church, tower and Doria tombs, and swimming or rather floating around in the incredibly salty, buoyant sea.
The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
With the exception of Monterosso al Mare, the largest and most touristy of the quintet, the villages are tiny and accommodation is scarce and variable in quality.
Avoid July and August when the heat is unbearable and the track is so crowded the local authorities sometimes close it. Sadly, large parts of the track are closed at the moment due to massive slips last winter.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Does anyone have any recommendations for what plants would do well in my setup? I notice the slow growing plants would be more prone to algae in my tank, so overall, I prefer faster growing plants to keep up with this intense lighting. Also, I am looking to setup a pressurized co2 that has the automatic system to turn on/off. My spending range is 100-$250 preferably. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated!
Okay now the images work, much better!
Now I'm afraid of the Kessil like someone else mentioned. I have my Kessil on a 25 gallon about 8 inches above the tank... that's moving it closer than when it was 12 inches above. If you're an inch away, man you're going to get crazy growth assuming you have the direct cO2 to support it (and the necessary fast growing plants). If you don't have those I'm afraid you may run into SERIOUS algae problems. I hope you don't, but if you see any signs of it I'd move the light higher above the tank. I mean, even the directions say a foot above the tank so I'd start there then move it closer as you see it (not the other way around).
I have seen it done before though at my LFS. They of course have direct cO2 and the Kessil is on a 25g 18x18x18 cube tank. They have the light a few inches above the tank but it's very close, and there's just crazy growth. The ground plants are so thick there's absolutely no gaps and you couldn't even get a chop stick in there heh. So it can be done.
Kessil Fluval edge 12g - My First Tank
Nice looking tank. I wish I would have gone with the 12g edge but I ended up with the 6g. I dig your set up.
Update: Sorry guys, hopefully these images are better, I am new to this forum stuff and working from the phone makes it a little tedious!
@Vincenz yeah, so far it seems okay, but a few of the leaves from the middle are bleached. In the future, I plan on growing carpet plants in the middle, that way we won't run into that bleach problem, and have a bunch of bushy plants on the side and back.
Whoa, you have a Kessil an inch above the water in such a small tank?
I foresee a lot of problems, but let us know how that works out for you!
|yeah man, none of the links work.
|.remove the .HTML and post as images, not as links...
UPDATE! Kessil Fluval edge 12g - My First Tank
RESCAPED (what you guys think?)
7 cardinal tetras
4 rummy nose
2 Vietnamese white cloud
9 crystal red shrimp
1 galaxy rasboras
1 ranger pleco
1 dwarf looking pleco?
1 kuhli loach
-Kessil amazon sun LED (custom mount under the hood an inch above the water)
-Co2 disposable cartridge (dissolver mounted below filter waterfall outtake to dispurse co2 evenly from flow of current)
-50watt mini aquarium heater
-water source from local water shop that has ro? No water treatment, fish seems happy
Before I did water changes every month and sometimes every 2 weeks. Currently, 30% every week, every single time. Started co2 dose @ 1bps and the new light fixture a few days ago. This tank has been running for about 6 months, just upgraded co2/light. Plan on running the light for 6 hours to test the waters. Fish seem happy.
Future projects:
Remove all boring plants and rescaping the tank massively. This time, plant the entire tank, no soil showing! Will most likely remove that big rock taking up way too much space and thinking to use the middle area of the tank to grow my carpet plants, maybe something like HC. The reason behind this is the kessil light focus point is right in the middle, so might as well make that area the magic carpet area where all the magic happens right?? =) Hopefully with all the plants I plan to plant, my algae problems will balance out!
I would appreciate any advice, critique, ideas, or questions!
Included Kessil
Included Co2
Plants seem to respond to the light a lot better than the previous one. Little bleach on the middle plants, but not so bad yet. The Background plants are doing well, but the front plants aren't with the previous lighting. Tank looks very random at the moment, I was testing the plants out with the old light to see how the plants responded, and most of the plants I got from my friends left overs. Figured no point buying nice plants when I didn't have the right setup. Now the led lights might be overkill, but I'm hoping with the height and re-positioning of the plants, I will have better luck.
Rescaped and increase height of the light, now 3-inches above the water.

It serves up a vast array of meat treats.
Gabe Hall had an idea to open a little shop where his mate Manni Hunt would make a few sausages out the back and Gabe would pass a bit of wine across the counter.
The idea got bigger and bigger and finally turned into a Big Bad Wolf.
Joining forces with ex-PR gal Julie Powell, these two seasoned players have created something unique. Wellington's Big Bad Wolf is a butchery, a charcuterie kitchen where sausages, pates, terrines, brawns and bacons are produced with creative zeal, a rotisserie for the daily roast pork offer, a shop counter to sell from and a cafe space to serve meaty treats.
And since it's just been licensed, Gabe can also serve you a glass of wine or a boutique beer on tap across the counter.
Your choice of sausage will be cooked to order and served in the pan, with potato gratin and a chunk of bread. You will be offered a spritzer of red wine vinegar to season the meat.
You may prefer to get a French stick filled with slices of the spit pig and crackling, sauerkraut and a ladle of gravy.
Or you could choose a counter option from the daily hot pots, hearty offerings such as pork and swede broth, rabbit cassoulet and tomato and ginger soup made from bacon cured on site. These are all served with bread for a mere $9 a bowl.
If none of this takes your fancy, order from the extraordinary array in the chill cabinet - a pork and prune terrine, tahr, chilli pig's head in brioche, ostrich egg, pork, lamb and tarragon terrine, duck liver parfait or old-fashioned brawn.
Wild venison, tahr, rabbit, duck, ostrich and other free-ranging species are "charcuteried", but the pig is the absolute hero in this place. Sourced from a local farm, these saddlebacks and European wilds have had a sweet life. They roam around an apple and pear orchard before heading to meet the Big Bad Wolf.
It's all very nose to tail. The animals are fully honoured as all their parts are used.
Charcuterie is a special branch of cookery that devotes itself to meat. It originated as a way of preserving before refrigeration and also as a way of making the most of the whole animal. Some aspects take time but it is not beyond the realms of the home kitchen. Manni shares some of his recipes here to get you started.
Apologies to non meat-eaters. This type of cooking is about celebrating all things animal. However, as Gabe quips "the pigs are vegetarian".
Try out these recipes:

Those high prices, Breen says, are mainly for "captive audiences," such as those at casinos or jails (see "Jail ATM Charges $10 Per Transaction," by Rick Wormwood, November 12, 2010). But the cost of getting your hands on your money is rising.
Where does that money go? Simply put, it lines the pockets of the banks. But despite criticism from consumer advocates, banks say it's not as much of a money-maker as you might be thinking.
>> READ: "Keep your money in Maine: What banking locally can do for you, for the state, and for the overall economy" by Deirdre Fulton <<
The big winner in the transaction is likely your bank — the one that holds your account. Many banks charge accountholders for using what are called "foreign ATMs," the industry term for "ATMs owned by someone other than your bank." There's virtually no cost to your bank when you use someone else's ATM — maybe a few cents, if that. So banks that treat customers that way are simply taking your money.
If the ATM you're using is owned by a bank (you'll know; it'll have the bank's name plastered all around it as advertising), then the bank will charge a fee. Ostensibly this practice began either as a charge for convenience, or to discourage you from noticing that the most convenient ATM in your life belongs to another bank, so perhaps you should just shift your account there. But now it's mostly just to keep the ATM from losing money.
Breen says "for the most part they're not money-makers," though they are "not super-expensive" either. The super-advanced ATMs, equipped with scanners that a photo of the checks and cash you deposit and print the image on your receipt, can cost $60,000 to $80,000, and will last five to seven years.
Add in the cost of servicing the machines and renting space (or building a larger branch to accommodate the ATM), and a bank is on the hook for $25,000 to $30,000 per year, per machine. "It's hard to make that up two bucks at a time," Breen quips. (His bank charges $3 to customers from other banks, but does not charge accountholders for using other banks' machines, and reimburses customers for any fees those other banks charge.)
Without fees, would there be very many ATMs? Perhaps — Breen says customer convenience and advertising are other benefits of providing ATMs. He adds that Bangor Savings Bank has another incentive to put theirs around — to reduce demand for its reimbursement program.

ARSC T3E Users' Newsletter 127, October 10, 1997
Streams: On or Off?
On the T3E, streams refers to read-ahead of local memory locations. When enabled, this read-ahead attempts to fetch data from memory into cache before it is actually needed. Depending on a code's memory access pattern, it can improve performance significantly.
Whether or not streams are enabled or disabled in a run of your program is determined by settings in the system configuration files, user environment, and user program. A program's stream settings over-ride the environment's, which over-ride the system default.
In order to set the stream level, the following commands may be used:
System default: <Not under user control> In The User Environment: Set the environment variables SCACHE_D_STREAMS and/or SCACHE_I_STREAMS to desired stream level. For instance: export SCACHE_D_STREAMS=0 [ksh user turns data streams off] setenv SCACHE_I_STREAMS 1 [csh user turns instruction stream on] In Programs: Call one of the routines SET_D_STREAM() or SET_I_STREAM() (or the C equivalents) from within your code. For instance: CALL SET_D_STREAM(0) ! disable data streaming
In order to determine what settings are currently in use, call the functions, GET_D_STREAM() or GET_I_STREAM() (or the C equivalents).
Here's a simple example:
program prog integer get_d_stream d_stream_value=get_d_stream() write(6,*) ' streams were initially ',d_stream_value call set_d_stream(1) d_stream_value=get_d_stream() write(6,*) ' streams have been set to ',d_stream_value call set_d_stream(0) d_stream_value=get_d_stream() write(6,*) ' streams have been set to ',d_stream_value end
Streams can be set to any of four levels. You should experiment with data streams on and off, at the minimum, and possibly with all four different levels and with both the instruction and data stream capabilities. The following description of the different levels is taken from man GET_D_STREAM on yukon:
0 or _MPC_NO_STREAMS Deactivates read-ahead in the stream buffers. Previously detected small-strided reference streams continue to be active, but no new small-strided access streams are detected. 1 or _MPC_DETECT_STREAMS Activates read-ahead in the stream buffers. Stream detection occurs upon reference to the second of two successive 8-word secondary cache lines. 2 or _MPC_INITIAL_PREFETCH Sets stream detection to the level set by _MPC_DETECT_STREAMS, but in addition any secondary cache and stream buffer misses result in a prefetch of the next successive secondary cache line. 3 or _MPC_AGGRESSIVE_PREFETCH Sets stream detection to the level set by _MPC_INITIAL_PREFETCH, but additional aggressive read-ahead is performed.
Additional ARSC Users Note: Although our system default is now to have streams on at level 1, if your code calls any SHMEM routine, the executable will be set to over-ride this at run-time, and run with streams off. If you want your program to use streams, set them explicitly to the level you want. At run-time, set the SCACHE_D_STREAMS environment variable to 1 in your or code your program to turn streams on internally by calling SET_D_STREAMS().
Cache Bypass directive
Having installed programming environment 3.0 and upgraded yukon to be streams-safe, we decided to run this follow-up to an article that appeared in issue #120 . We test several different means of copying one array to another on a single processor on yukon.
This revised program can test the PE3.0 cache_bypass directive to force copies through the E-register rather than cache. Under PE2.0, shmem_put and shmem_get were clearly the fastest available methods. However, running with streams enabled, a conventional loop with cache_bypass is equally fast.
In the following table, the timings are in units of number of array elements (64-bit words) transferred per second, and should not be construed as memory bandwidth. The tests were made on ARSC's 450MHz T3E, yukon. In order to make the runs on application (rather than shell) PEs, they were started on 2 PEs (mpprun -n2), and the results from one of the two PEs were discarded.
Here are the timing results followed by the program: ---------------------------------------------------- STREAMS ON STREAMS OFF ========== =========== Copying 10 words: cache bypass loop construct 1.

CF90 Optimization Options
Often users ask what are the best options to use with the Fortran compiler on code they are porting to the T3E.
This is a difficult question, since the effectiveness of each option varies greatly with both the nature of the algorithm and the programmer's expression of the algorithm to the compiler. However, a procedure for optimisation is to start with no options and then incrementally add the following options in this order, noting how performance changes and checking results at each stage. (Some optimisations will change results since the order of operations may change which can make rounding errors different. These changes should be small.)
It is also useful to assess the performance of the different code parts before starting this exercise since some options may speed up one part and slow down another. However the application of the options below should result in an improvement with relatively modest effort from the programmer.
-O3 this is a basic optimisation set. -O3,aggress this increases the internal tables for the compiler and allows further modification of user code for performance optimisations. -O3,aggress -apad this pads arrays on which there might be cache conflicts. -O3,aggress,unroll2 -apad this starts to unroll loops to exploit multiple operations per load into cache from main memory. -O3,aggress,unroll2,pipeline2 -apad here pipelining is exploited to try and get one result per clock cycle. -O3,aggress,unroll2,pipeline2,split2 -apad here loops are split to restrict the number of streams open at any one time to that in the hardware. -O3,aggress,unroll2,pipeline2,split2 -apad -lmfastv this option uses a faster but not fully IEEE compliant math library for intrinsics.
Hopefully, the above seven set of options will allow users to make a first pass at optimising code with the help of the compiler. After applying these options the programmer must now consider explicit code modification to exploit the features of the underlying architecture. More on these changes in future newsletters.
For more information these options are described in greater depth and some examples given in the Cray document, 'The Benchmarker's Guide to Single-processor Optimisation for Cray T3E Systems." It is available in postscript via anonymous ftp to: ftp.arsc.edu . It is in the directory: pub/mpp/docs , and is named: bmguide.ps.Z .

Quick-Tip Q & A
A: {{ Is this a good idea? Self-documenting? Is it even valid!? }} The C-snippet offered last week, which used a question mark-colon construct as an lvalue, was extracted from the code to W3's browser, "arena." Here's more of the code: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- #ifdef __STRICT_ANSI__ if(buffer_cell->prev) buffer_cell->prev->next = buffer_cell->next; else buffer->cell = buffer_cell->next; #else ((buffer_cell->prev) ? buffer_cell->prev->next : buffer->cell) = buffer_cell->next; #endif /* __STRICT_ANSI__ */ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Which provides part of our answer. Depending on your compiler, it is indeed valid, but does not conform to the ANSI C standard. Why would it be a good idea? If programmer productivity is measured in lines of code per day, then it might be a "bad" idea. If measured in program effort per line of code, then it's "good." More likely, it would be "good" if it leads to a more efficient executable. To help in testing, here's a trivial program which uses the construct: #include <stdio.h> main() { int i=0,j=1; printf ("i:%d j:%d\n", i, j); *(i < j ? &i : &j) = 100; printf ("i:%d j:%d\n", i, j); if (i < j) i = 200; else j = 200; printf ("i:%d j:%d\n", i, j); } What follows is part of the output of the command "cc -S" run on the above program (the "-S" option instructs the compiler to translate the C-code to assembly). This output was produced on an SGI workstation: [ ---------------------------------------- 2 labels, 8 commands ] # 9 *(i < j ? &i : &j) = 100; lw $15, 44($sp) lw $24, 40($sp) bge $15, $24, $32 addu $16, $sp, 44 b $33 $32: addu $16, $sp, 40 $33: li $25, 100 sw $25, 0($16) .loc 2 11 [ ---------------------------------------- 2 labels, 8 commands ] # 13 if (i < j) lw $8, 44($sp) lw $9, 40($sp) bge $8, $9, $34 .loc 2 14 # 14 i = 200; li $10, 200 sw $10, 44($sp) b $35 $34: .loc 2 16 # 15 else # 16 j = 200; li $11, 200 sw $11, 40($sp) $35: .loc 2 18 # 17 The question mark-colon construct didn't simplify the assembly output, but it's likely that the indirect addressing obtained ("addu") is faster than the direct addressing ("sw"). Q: In Unix, how can you list the contents of the current directory, and the contents of every subdirectory within the current directory, but not descend any deeper into the depths of the tree of subdirectories?

Law's bounty should be inactive atm right?
It's probably just the media trying to hype things out by putting their bounty side by side
(and I'm pretty sure Doflamingo is the one behind all of this)
Marine hasn't made any move yet, with regards to this matter or Doflamingo resignation

A bit off topic, it just occurs to me that no wonder Croc wants to take over Alabasta.
As things stand, 2 of Shikibukai are monarchs and Moria also has his little Thriller Bark, Jinbe is friendly with Fishmen royal family...

In the sense of "I risked my neck (literally) to save you, and this is how you repay me!? You ingrate!", or "Ah, it brings me great joy as a father to see my boy safe, sound, and in the company of two fair maidens"? I mean heck, we still don't even know whether or not Kinemon is a single father......
Pretty sure that's Law's "old" bounty poster. Remember, before he became a shichibukai he gained a pretty huge bounty hike (from 200 to 440 million), so the poster probably came from around the time he was collecting the pirates' hearts for the WG. Plus, notice that Bepo is on the poster, who still has yet to appear in the story since the skip (and no, that one color page doesn't count)....

But if Luffy can generate fire on his own without using any high speed attack, that would definitely be awesome. It would be even more awesome if the fire

Chapter 699
That was a good chapter. With the way Akoiji sounds, the bridge between Akainu and him was not burned badly. It was smart of Akainu and Akoiji to stay in contact with each other, it will benefit them in the long run. Has for Daflamingo he is pretty clam for the situation he is in. I agree with Franky that it is bad to have things go smoothly. Dressrosa should be interesting, I think it will be a trap. I wonder if Akoiji will show up there too?
Dressrosa's forcast chaos and destruction?
It sounds like Dressrosa will be action pack from beginning to end. The country's King has just stepped down, renounced his title has Shichibukai, thus making him a pirate and outlaw to the WG. On top of that the WG knows about the alliance between all the supernovas, country itself maybe in a power vacuum, and with Smokers report and Akoiji suggestion(dispatching Admirals), I expect to see Admirals, Shichibukai, and Luffy, Law Alliance. Maybe surprise guests from the other supernova Alliance (Kidd, Hawkins, Apoo)? Hope we get to see new Admiral or Admirals. I also hope Luffy and Zoro get to show off there stuff (especially Zoro).

I have an interessting question:
Does Doflamingo keep his underlings, now that he steps down as king? I mean were they serving him because they are part of his pirate crew, or did they follow him as the king of Dressrosa and now have to stay with the new king?
After all they called him "young master" and not "captain" or similar.

This one grabbed my attention the most.
This probably confirms or least hints that they already nominated NEW admirals for 2 empty positions.
I can only hope that one of them is Buggy. That would be the best Buggy punchline ever in entire series.
Or hell...I'd like to say a vastly improved Coby since its his dream but what are the chances of Coby being alive after all this in a world that Sakazuki controls?

Yea, Coby is a captain (and I strongly believe that he will fullfill his dream and become an admiral in future. Since Coby's single reason of existence in these series is to show an evolving path from nothingness to greatness.) but after the events of Marineford, I dont remember Sakazuki being very pleased with him. Now that Garp is only a showcase rank, can he still stay as a marine? Akainu is a type that has no sympathy for weaklings and anti-doctrine, he first handedly witnessed how pathetic Coby can be in times of stress. Not even mentioning that things will be way much more harder/brutal within a tyrant's control. If even Aokiji holds back against the situation, then what can, lets say...more light alignment marines like Coby, Momonga and rest do?

^ Maybe. I'm just giving you reasoning as to why there may only be one admiral right now (Kizaru). Keep in mind that it was never stated that there have to be 3 admirals in the marines force at all times. As far as we know, there were only 2 admirals during Roger's era: Zephyr and Sengoku. And I've been reading from different places that there's some ambiguity in the Japanese text of that admiral plural.

I wonder if Doflamingo leaked the alliance information to the newspapers as well. Perhaps to put a target on the Luffy/Law alliance for the marines to go after. This also would alert the Yonko's, if they already didn't know.
Impressive how Doflamingo changed his mind of his plan as soon as Kuzan appeared. Still undeterred he must have had back up plans. Fearsome enemy.
It would be interesting if Law actually knew whether Doflamingo was in Dressrosa, based on the location of the den-den mushi. In any case it is likely Law expected to find Doflamingo in Dressrosa from the beginning.. He may actually lure him out to do the exchange and have Luffy's crew, or perhaps his, destroy the SAD factory in his absence.

Having just one is highly impractical though.
It probably took a while to promote new ones and Kizaru might've been the only one for a while. The reason I doubt that he's the only one is because two years have passed. It seems highly unlikely that no one came along at all who was good enough for the job.

Anyone have an idea of which vice admirals are powerful enough to be promoted to admiral status during the time skip, Certainly can't remember that many during the war arc.

Victoria Beckham made her way to Dublin, Ireland today to promote her clothing line and she was spotted in the company of her adorable just-turned 1 year old daughter Harper Seven. As you can see in the photo below, Harper is already walking on her own! While it feels as if the little darling was *just* born, the truth of the matter is that little Miss Harper has already grown into an adorable toddler. Check out the cuteness below.
It might have been Victoria Beckham's name on the billboards at her fashion presentation in Dublin, Ireland, today, but all eyes were on her daughter Harper. The little girl, who recently celebrated her first birthday, was seen tottering along next to her famous mother, who held her daughter as she set off at speed along the marbled floor inside the Brown Thomas store in Dublin. Wearing a blue dress and black shoes for the event, Harper beamed as she walked along, clearly thrilled by what appear to be among her first steps. Meanwhile, Victoria was seen wearing a black coat over her matching black dress, looked on proudly at her adorable little girl.
Where has the time gone? Harper is walking today, she'll be running tomorrow and then she'll be driving around in her very own convertible car here in SoCal in no time. I really cannot get over how quickly time seems to have passed since Harper was born last Summer. She really is the cutest little thing on two legs, don't you think? Stop growing, Harper … please!0


text: I have 3 small hanging file holders. I take a hanging file folder and place the center of the magazine over the top of the hanger part and file them. This is better than the magazine holders because they do not slide and bend. I weed out once a year and if I only want one pattern out of a magazine, then I tear it out and put it in a notebook in a plastic sleeve. Works great.

Yes it's worth getting.
They are made basicly like an AK74 but with a 223 barrel.
To do the stock and pistol grip conversion, you mainly just have to remove the plate on the bottom of the receiver and remount the trigger gaurd, all the holes are already there.
On the barrel the grooves are already cut on the side of the barrel for the hand gaurd retainer, but you'd have to replace the gas block and front sight, I don't think these can be reinstalled after removing.
I'm going to soon be putting up some pics of mine, I'll be putting it in the conversion section.


text: I have pulled brood and honey from strong hives. I have pleaced two frames of each in Nuc boxes so how long should I wait to add queens to the Nucs for the best acceptance of the queen? I put in one queen about 4 hours after placing the Nuc at its new location and it seemed the bees attacked her but she went to the bottom of Nuc so I am not sure what ended happening.

text: Robbing: Not sure if this is robbing, but it looked like a wrestling match at the entrance of this TBH the other day. So I obtained a 1 sq foot sheet of 1/8" HW cloth and suspended it over the entrance, leaving a 1" gap all the way around. I put it there in the early morning when there was no activity. In this configuration, a bee can not go straight into the hive, but has to go around the screen and then make a 90* turn to get into the entrance. It's an end entrance. I'm looking for agreement that this is a satisfactory robber screen. How long does it take for the homies to figure how to get back in? I'm assuming robbers will make an attempt and then give up. Or, do they come in waves? - Mike

[Article]-Course Review: Path to the ISAM
Permanent link: [Article]-Course Review: Path to the ISAM
Course Review by Wardell Motley
I recently had the opportunity to travel to Colorado Springs, Co. and took the Information Security Assessment Methodology (ISAM) course by Security Horizon. The ISAM, which was formerly the NSA-IAM\IEM, course has now been merged into a combined 3-day, 24-hour course.
The ISAM was created by examining the processes and techniques implemented within the information security community by seasoned assessors from both industry and government sectors. The purpose of the ISAM is to provide a detailed systematic standard for the community to perform an information security assessment by thoroughly examining cyber vulnerabilities. Unlike other courses, the ISAM concentrates heavily on the actual methods and processes of an assessment and is not a tool-based or theory-heavy course.
Although no class can teach the fundamentals or give the experience of being able to communicate effectively with the target audience, the ISAM provides a roadmap on how to deal with flaky answers from executives and scared employees that fear their answers may end up putting them out of a job.
Thanks Wardell,

I thought it might be worthwhile, then, to look back at the last ten years to see where CM and ALM has come from and then forward another ten to see where it's going. In some ways, a lot has happened in the past decade, but in other ways, the progress has been painfully slow. I would certainly have expected more consolidation of standards and easier to customize tools. Still, there's a lot that has happened so let's start there.
Key Events of the Decade
A number of events, or non-events, have helped SCM to leave it's mark on the first decade of the millennium. I suggest a few of them here, and give some insight on each of them. If you think of some I've missed, let's hear from you:
1. Acquisitions and New Players
3. Seamless Integration
4. Usability
5. Dashboards
6. Process Flow
7. Integrated Repository
8. Little CM Advance
1. Acquisitions and New Players
A significant event of the decade has been acquisitions. Most notable are the acquisition of both Rational and Telelogic by IBM. This one has had lots of time to settle in, especially on the Rational side, but it's still not clear what the ultimate SCM/ALM goal is for IBM. Both acquisitions involved more than just SCM, but how do you consolidate ClearCase and Synergy? And what of the other acquisitions? Serena acquired Merant, and Micro Focus acquired Borland.
One of the new players, AccuRev, has grabbed a number of converts. At the same time SubVersion has captured significant Open Source interest.
The continuing expansion of CM scope gave way to recognition of the ALM acronym (Application Lifecycle Management). One key question is whether or not any of the players can survive without offering full ALM solutions. ALM is meant to embrace the entire life cycle. But put a CM tool together with Requirements Management, Test Case Management and Problem Tracking, and you've got the bare minimum to qualify for the ALM acronym. Some vendors will include Document Management, Project Management, Build and Release Management, Test Result tracking and Deployment functions in their ALM offerings. Then there's Process/Work Flow management and Change Management.
There is no real definition of ALM. In fact, the definition needs to be somewhat application dependent. Web applications have different life cycle needs than cell phone apps, which are very different from apps for power plants.
But the idea that CM is more than just CM exploded into the 20th century. The transition is more than functional. ALM is a backbone business technology, whereas the old CM was a design team aid. The industry has transitioned. The technology is still catching up to the transition.
3. Seamless Integration
As ALM catches on, there has been a realization that ALM is not just a merging of a bunch of tools into a suite. The key is to get the payback of an integrated solution. Similar administration across all management functions, common process/work flow engines, common repositories and unified user interfaces. The payback has begun to build. This is especially obvious in tools such as CM+ and MKS.
The concept of seamless integration goes even one step further. Not only are the functions together, sharing data, etc., but with seamless integration, you don't even need to know what

I think Cam is over rated. Theyre 1-5. Werent that good last year. And he takes losses worse than me. He gets depressed, cant have that in a qb.
We are the team that supposedly created the blue print to stopping Michael Vick. Generally, going back to his Atlanta days, we played him as tough or tougher than any other team. We have had good and bad days vs. Romo. We owned Cam Newton and no one has stopped RG111 yet. Even Kapernick, who no one has stopped struggled against us.
Since we generally play cover 2, our DB's are facing the QB which gives us an advantage against mobile QB's. But essentailly, when we play diciplined defense we can contain mobile QB's as well as any.
Its not exclusive to us. But generally speaking, we have done well against mobile QB's in Fewell's system. Not so much in Spag's system of press coverage, thats a different matter. In that system, McNabb ate us up.

Town Square
Who is Peter Cao Ming and Why?
Original post made by Resident, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Nov 8, 2012
It proves the point that locking threads to registered users only does nothing to improve the quality of posts, as we already know.
In fact locking threads does not prevent anyone from making inappropriate comments as has been shown by one registered user who obviously made an inappropriate comment to prove the fact and subsequently thanked the editors for deleting part of his comment as he only did it to prove the point.
Whether this thread gets hijacked or not, and whether this thread itself gets deleted altogether by the editors,the point is that the forum is a public debating place for many of us who may not get the opportunity to debate local issues and we don't like it being taken over like this. It may not be perfect but it is the best we have (or at least I don't know of a better one). Thanks to the editors for trying to get rid of PCM, but please don't lock threads to get rid of him as it does not work. It just stops the majority of us from being able to debate also.

As you point out, our options are limited when dealing with a disruptive poster such as the person identified as "Peter Cao Ming." We can limit posters to those who are registered, but if the person registers our only options are to block his/her IP address (which can be circumvented by skilled computer users by simply refreshing the IP address)or deleting posts as they occur.
This problem is obviously not unique to Town Square, but we are more aggressive about dealing with disruptive posters than most web forums. Our experience is that these posters eventually give up if we are promptly deleting their posts and depriving them of the attention they are seeking.
I'm sorry that it causes disruption for others. We don't lock threads to discourage these people, however. When we lock a thread it is generally because the discussion has deteriorated to name-calling and any meaningful dialogue has run its course.

I googled Peter Cao Ming's name a couple of weeks ago. He was once a Stanford researcher, and apparently convinced that Germans and people of German ancestry, are after him. He is also convinced that a Stanford student who committed suicide a few years ago was murdered by Germans, and that Angela Merkel was complicit in it.

Why also does a Parisian fashion designer named Isabel Marant continue to post lengthy threads advertising her clothing and shoes in French and/or very poor English? Her posts often claim she is a resident of Barron Park, which she most certainly is not.
The people who post here probably are not interested in her in the first place. In the second place, her fashions are ridiculously expensive. I don't think that even Palo Alto is elite enough for her prices. Maybe Hillsborough...
