GO: Most tourist-popular areas in Mexico are considered safe for travelers.
Statistics show that Mexico City and the resorts of the Riviera Maya saw even less crime in 2010, per capita, than Orlando and Washington, D.C.
Mexico's tourist board is flying U.S. travel agents to Cancún to see for themselves that the sandy white beaches in tourist areas remain perfectly calm.
Verdict: Go—but only to destinations approved by the U.S. Department of State.
With the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in 2011, the tourism industry was hit hard, too.
Many clients of tour operators, however, have now reorganized their trips to Japan.
Over the past three to four months, the level of inquiries and bookings into trips across the Japanese countryside has been picking up significantly.
Verdict: Go—just nowhere within 50 miles of the Fukushima Daiichi plant in the north (the popular cities of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka are all fine).
Chile's tourist industry quickly recovered from the earthquake in February 2011.
Thanks to the Santiago's sophisticated infrastructure and strict building codes, earthquake damage was somewhat mitigated.
Lago Todos los Santos, Chile.
Verdict: Go!
The Greek economy may be in big trouble, but you wouldn't know it by looking at the record number of tourists swarming the ancient monuments and beaches in 2011.
The Association of Greek Tourism Enterprises reports that numbers are up 12 percent from last year.
As Culture and Tourism Minister Pavlos Geroulanos told The New York Times, "Without a doubt, tourism has already helped soften the blow of the economic crisis."
Verdict: Go, but stick to the islands and tread lightly in Athens.
In November, floodwaters swept through Thailand, claiming hundreds of lives and inundating vast stretches of farmland.
It's possible to see the major sights—Bangkok's city center remains unaffected.
By mid-December 2011, the U.S. State Department canceled both of its travel alerts for Thailand.
Verdict: Go. Visit Phuket or the beaches, but still use caution when navigating Bangkok.
The coast is not clear for surfers and divers along Australia's western coast. Since August 2010, four people have been killed by great white sharks.
But now, $2.05 million Australian dollars will go toward establishing a "Shark Response Unit."
Another nearly $2 million will be devoted to more helicopters and beach patrols.
Verdict: Go! (Pictured, Cottesloe Beach, Perth).
Though the tourist industry suffered in the first half of 2011, Tunisia's interim government urged hoteliers to maintain their usual price structure.
According to Peter Kirk of tour operator Tunisia First, Tunisia has always been a good value destination.
According to Kirk, a full-day excursion to Tunis, Carthage, and Sidi Bou Said including lunch is around $55.
Verdict: Go, but be careful.
New Zealand Tourists continue using Christchurch as a gateway to the rest of South Island.
Christchurch, NZ, suffered serious damage in 2011 with two earthquakes, one in February and another in December.
If you travel to Christchurch and Canterbury, be aware that accommodations will probably not be in the center, as none of the major hotels are operational.
Verdict: Go, but only to pass through Christchurch on your way to other parts of New Zealand.
2011 has been tumultuous in Egypt. Though Mubarak, the nation's longtime president, stepped down during a storm of popular protests in January and February, a revolution is still in full swing.
Though the Lower Nile will reopen to river cruises for the first time in 16 years, our verdict is: wait.
A devastating 7-magnitude earthquake in January 2010 dealt Haiti a major blow.
Verdict: Don't go. The U.S. Department of State issued a travel warning in August to strongly discourage U.S. citizens from entering Haiti on their own.
Libyans are focused on getting back on their feet. Tour operators and all other sectors of the infrastructure are trying to help Libya in times of need.
Verdict: Don't go. The U.S. Department of State has issued a travel warning against nonessential trips to this deeply afflicted region.

Whether it's for her husband, grandkids, children or others, Ruth Lee of Troy, Ontario has always enjoyed preparing tasty meals with a healthy twist. "Simplicity and variety are key elements in my cooking, but I always put nutrition first and use lots of fruits and vegetables," she says.
Ruth first learned to create new menus as a teenage nursing-home cook, and later honed those skills as a cook for a private school. "The diets of those at the nursing home were extremely varied due to health issues," she recalls. "At the school, we focused on creating nutrition-packed menus that were appealing to the eye."
These days, Ruth works part-time as a dog groomer and acts as a caregiver to her three youngest grandchildren. "I love my slow cooker because it allows me to prepare the bulk of my main meal before my house fills up," she writes. "I also rely on dishes I've frozen for busy evenings or to send with my husband, Doug, when he leaves for work."
Besides feeding her husband and grandkids most days, Ruth has organized a group of 19 to cook meals for the local Ronald McDonald House every Friday. "To save money, I plan menus around whatever is on sale at the store," she says. "I avoid convenience products and buy most of my produce at the local outdoor market."
The supper Ruth shares here is a favorite from her days as a school cook. Comforting Chicken a la King has a thick and creamy sauce that's perfect over biscuits or rice. "I've been making this for 30 years," says Ruth. "It's a wonderful way to create a quick lunch or dinner with leftover chicken."
For an easy and colorful salad, Ruth serves Tomatoes with Feta Cheese. "I make this no-fuss dish at least once a month," she writes. "It's a great way to use up fresh summer tomatoes and adds zip to winter tomatoes, too."
Black Forest Sundaes make a sweet ending to the meal, and best of all, they take just 5 minutes to prepare! "My husband and grandchildren just love them," Ruth says.

Final Meeting of the Prepatory Committee for the Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States: Working Group on Oceans
STATEMENT BY H.E. Karel J.G. van Oosterom
Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
to the United Nations
NEW YORK, 24 June 2014
Thank you Mr. Chairman for giving me the floor.
The issues at hand during this preparatory conference are of great importance to all four countries in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in particular also the health of oceans and seas which we are now discussing. The threat coming from rising sea levels is relevant both for the European part of the Kingdom, which is partly six meters below sea-level, as well as for the Caribbean part of the Kingdom.
Three constituent members of the Kingdom are located in the Caribbean, Aruba, Curacao and St Maarten and are de facto Small Island Development States. Their total population is approximately 300.000.
Therefore the issues to be discussed at the Samoa conference are of existential importance to our Kingdom. In conformity with our interest in the issues affecting SIDS, there will be a delegation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the Samoa conference headed by the Prime-Minister of Aruba, Mike Eman. Minister Eman recently visited New York and addressed both the Permanent representatives of Caricom and of the SIDS.
The health and well-being of oceans and seas are of key importance to the Kingdom. Therefore we organized a Global Oceans Action Summit in The Hague, the Netherlands, from 22 to 25 April. Most countries in the world were represented there. The Summit focused on the threat of rising sea levels, depletion of fish stocks and the effects of the ongoing pollution of seas and oceans. Let me give an example: 17 % of animal protein consumed by the world's population comes from oceans and seas. Rising sea levels and pollution threaten fragile marine biodiversity. In short, sustainable development of many countries is threatened by the way we treat our oceans and seas.
The Summit concluded very practical suggestions and shared many best practices of addressing these challenges together. These included the dimensions of
- enhanced coastal management
- improved sustainable management of fish stocks
- global action against pollution.
Furthermore, the conference concluded very clearly that we need a stand alone Sustainable Development Goal in the Post-2015 development Agenda on oceans and seas.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands expresses the hope that the recommendations of the Global Oceans Action Summit will clearly be reflected in the outcome document of the Samoa Summit.
As I have said before, the Kingdom of the Netherlands wants to be your partner for peace, justice and development. The health and sustainability of oceans and seas are directly related to all three dimensions. We look forward to being a partner with both other member-states as the UN system, in order to together implement that common agenda.


text: After releasing his remix of The Neighbourhood's "Sweater Weather," Vaski quickly follows up with a brand new original in collaboration with Betty Borderline on vocals. "Baddest" is a fusion of house and dubstep driven by a gritty bassline, tribal drums, and Betty's call-to-action lyrics. Vaski continues on his venture in the more up-tempo realm without diminishing his bass-heavy roots. Purchase "Baddest" on Beatport and keep an eye out for a remix competition.

Minimally invasive surgery, also known as laparoscopic or keyhole surgery is an approach which allows surgeons to perform general and specialty surgical procedures with small incisions. A few ¼ to ½ inch incisions allow for the insertion of a camera and instruments into the body to perform the operation. The camera projects the image of the surgical field onto a screen in front of the surgeon. The advantages of minimally invasive surgery include less pain after surgery, faster recovery, small scars and a smaller risk of wound infection. When the operation involves the small or large intestines themselves, less time is needed until they start to work again when compared to conventional surgery.
Lastly, the minimally invasive approach allows the surgeon to see better than in a conventional operation.

Editor's Daily Pick – Munna "Cutie" Armchair
When I saw this armchair by Munna , I immediately felt like going back home to bed because it looks so comfy and cozy! This is the kind of chair I would like to snuggle up in with a hot cup of cocoa and my Women's Wear Daily. It is the "Cutie" armchair from the Munna Fetiche Collection and boy the name certainly does do it justice! The chair is upholstered in fantasy fur and sustained by gold leaf feet. It has a very 70's, vintage flair (with a modern twist of course) that I absolutely adore! Munna has many amazing furniture collections so definitely be sure to check out this fashion-forward company!

Gary Hagmueller of Zuora details the company's journey to create a billing service in the cloud.Interview conducted by Vinod Baya and Stephane Berthier
Gary Hagmueller is the CFO of Zuora and has an extensive background in subscription management, billing, and financial operations. Hagmueller has held executive roles in a variety of software, telecommunications, and e-commerce companies. Having helped raise and manage nearly $100 million in venture and debt funding, he has been a frequent presenter on topics such as financial best practices for emerging technology firms, subscriber valuation, fundraising for startups, and growth-company business planning.
Prior to joining Zuora, Hagmueller was CFO of KnowNow, a Kleiner Perkins–backed enterprise software firm where he raised more than $17 million in funding, managed the firm's general and administrative (G&A) functions, and drove corporate development. In the past, Hagmueller was also the director of corporate development for NorthPoint Communications, and he held various business and corporate development roles at GTE, Verizon, and Pacific Bell.
Hagmueller received an M.B.A. in finance from the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California, where he was named Sheth Fellow at the Center for Communications Management. He also holds a bachelor's degree with honors in business from Arizona State University.
In this interview, Hagmueller describes the opportunity that Zuora is pursuing by moving the billing process in the cloud and the opportunities and risks for the company's customers.
PwC: Can you please tell us about Zuora?
GH: Zuora is the first subscription billing and payment management system for the cloud and software-as-aservice [SaaS] entities. We empower companies to build new billing and payment models, and drive their businesses to differentiate, grow, and be successful— enabled by our platform instead of being hindered by their billing systems. Although we focus on subscriptions, our model extends to any type of billing and payment model that involves a longer-term customer relationship. For instance, media businesses often use a pay-for-content model, and that is something we support. Essentially, we enable any business that has a recurring relationship with its customer.
PwC: So in some sense you have taken the billing process that is typically inside an enterprise, supported by commercial or homegrown systems, and made it available in the cloud? How did you go about doing this?
GH: Yes, that is right. The first thing was to realize that billing processes are really complex, because there are so many different permutations and use cases. We built a very dynamic, very malleable product catalog. That gave us a great degree of flexibility, and we will continue to invest in it. Probably our single biggest investment is making sure that the product catalog and all the capabilities around it remain fresh, especially because every month I see a new use case that's just marginally different from the one that was there before.

Again National Rental Car did an outstanding job. The staff was friendly and professional, the car I picked out was clean and ready to go. I do have a complaint- At the time of picking up my car the agent informed me that National Rental Car will be putting a $300 hold on my card. This was in addition to the rental charges. This charge was for all Michigan drivers. When I turned the car in, I asked about this charge and was told this is done to encourage local drives to rent cars from other locations than the airport. NRC wants to maintain their fleet of cars for out of town guests and business travelers. If this is the policy going forward, then the local Enterprise locations, need to do a better job of being open on the weekends, and supplying vehicles. I support the auto industry and when I travel, I need a specific Make of vehicle. I certainly can't drive a Chrysler to a GM plant, or a GM to a Ford plant. Enterprise can't guarantee any make or model when making a reservation. It is best effort only. The make of vehicle may not be available with a local office that has a much smaller inventory of cars. Finally, the airport NCR is the only location in the Detroit Metro area. My rating is for the local staff and service they provide.

The National program, Emerald Club, is a very good program as I like to close my car. The Detroit National location at best is mediocre.bCars are always dirty. Windows never clean inside or out. Always some sort of trash still in the car. I use them as I like to pick the type of car I drive. Hertz does a much better job of providing a clean car. Nationals point program is also on the weak side as it takes a full year of renting almost every week to get enough free days for a vacation rental. Also, their promotion 1-2-Free never appears on your statement you have to call to see what you have earned and you can't combine it with other free days earned. I understanding is free however almost better not to offer if it inconveniences the customer. Lastly I am executive elite with National. Doesn't mean much. Everyone who gets off the bus in Detroit gets to pick any car in any aisle, even executive rows, if a member of the Emerald Club. But if you are hung up on picking the type of car you want to drive, like me, you use National n
I use National rental car as part of my company's preferred car rental service and am an emerald club member. All of my rentals thus far have been good, except for the last time out of Detroit (at DTW). I rented a car that was clean but had a very strong and unpleasant odor. It may have been that a customer smoked in the car but I should have noticed that at a late night pickup of a rental, with this car being the only car left out of all mid-size sedans, there was something negative about it and people were staying away for a reason. This was a rental that I had to keep the windows slightly open while highway driving to keep from becoming ill. For vehicles like these, I would prefer for National to take them out of the rotation until the they could be further cleaned. Overall, National has been a good provider of rental cars for me and makes the process near seamless (i.e., straight from the shuttle bus to the car and on return, from the car to the shuttle bus... no office visit required).

Perfect for entertaining and sharing your favorite bottle of wine! ! The Glenridge flatware collection is rendered in weighty stainless steel, and features a classical pattern in the stem. This wonderful set also includes two wine coasters. Like rays of sunshine, the elegant coaster radiates outward in bold lines, ensuring a beautiful reflection.
Made in China.
Care Instructions:
Your flatware is dishwasher safe, though we recommend hand washing for sterling. Use a gentle dishwasher detergent (avoid using lemon-scented products). If possible, set your dishwasher on the fine china setting to insure gentle cleansing. Wash stainless separately from sterling, aluminum or silver-plate items, as pitting can occur. Place spoons and forks into baskets with handle facing downward. Knives should be inserted with the blade facing down. Remove flatware prior to the drying cycles. This decreases the amount of time the flatware spends in a hot, moist atmosphere, and permits the flatware to dry in cool, drier air.
Removing Stains or Spots: Water shedding or drying additives can be used to minimize water spots. If water spots or stains occur, use a stainless steel polish. Rubbing alcohol or salad oil can be used to remove stubborn water spots. Shine flatware using a sponge doused in white vinegar. While stainless steel is designed to resist most common stains, corrosion and/or discoloration may be caused due to prolonged contact with chloride rich foods, such as salt, mayonnaise, mustard and eggs.
Washing by Hand: We recommend hand washing gold-accented stainless steel flatware. Do not use abrasive cleaners that can scratch and dull metal surface. Hand drying is also advised. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft towel while flatware is still warm. The hand-buffing action helps maintain a lustrous finish and discourages film buildup. Do not rinse and stack. Fine crystal should be hand washed separately in warm soapy water rinsed thoroughly and dried with a lint free cloth. When washing and drying stemware, do not twist the bowl in the opposite direction to the stem as this can cause damage. We do not recommend using a dishwasher to clean your crystal as it can dull and damage the surface. Avoid pouring iced liquids or very hot water into crystal as extreme temperatures can crack or break your crystal. The finely made rims are the most fragile part of your crystal glass. Do not turn upside down while drying or storing.
Storage: To store sterling silver flatware, keep in a container that is lined with an anti-tarnish material.

We really enjoyed our stay in Grau Village. The apartment was well equipped and nicely situated close to the sea. Thank You! The only disadvantage was that we did not have any Wifi.
Very basic studio with sofa bed. Fittings outdated and slightly broken. Would spend a little more next time for something a lot better.
We stayed for 6 days at the apartment. Good spot with nearby metro for different places. Host was on time and welcoming. The air conditioning was undersize for the hot weather and the master bedroom bed needs an upgrade. Apart from that, our stay was nice and the neighbourhood is nice and calm.
Very nice house, great location, excellent weather. Very good places to eat nearby. Christian told us that bedding was included but it was not. Booking through Wimdu was very confusing. Charges for water and electricity and Kur tax at the end of the holiday were very high.
So......an enjoyable holiday but expenses were unexpectedly high and booking was difficult.
We were there in may, and we liked it there. Not too crowded. The house and garden were nice. Inside a spartan furniture, but functional
We had a great time at the Apartment, which was almost direktly at the Moldau. The Hosts were great and there was nothing bad about the Stay. The neighbourhood is quiet but still in walking distance to the center.
We will definetly come back :)
We spent a really good time in this flat, everything is close, beach, shops, bar..
Excellent location, very quiet. Lovely, helpful owner. Only minor criticism is we found the mattress a little too hard.
We had a few great days in this old and charming house with all new faciliteit! the housekeepers were very kind and helpful!

JACKSON – Rep. Lester "Bubba" Carpenter, R-Burnsville, is working on legislation for the 2013 session that would allow school districts to arm their teachers.
"We are working with a NRA (National Rifle Association) lobbyist trying to craft something," said Carpenter, who said he is filing the legislation in response to the December school shooting in Newtown, Conn., where 26 people were killed.
"Texas and some other states are working on this," he said.
As he envisions the legislation, Carpenter said school districts that wanted to participate could provide training, certification and arm members of their staff.
"We do not want it to cost the teachers anything," Carpenter said.
Various avenues from arming teachers to placing law officers in the schools to limiting the access to certain types of guns are being discussed in wake of the shooting and other similar events in recent years.
Carpenter said for many school districts in Mississippi it will be cost prohibitive to place law enforcement in every school.
In Tishomingo County, Superintendent Ben McClung agreed that many school districts could not afford to pay for a law enforcement officer, but he said that is the goal in his district.
He said the district already has resource officers, who are certified law enforcement officers, in the two high schools – Belmont and Tishomingo.
"We are working to put them in all of the rest of the schools," he said. "We are running into expenses there."
Sen. John Horhn, D-Jackson, said having armed teachers could create problems and dangers for the teachers and the students.
"Teachers already have enough to do without being charged with providing police protection," he said.
Today, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves will announce his support of school safety legislation. It was not clear late Thursday what that legislation would entail.

Seeing posts on the official GW2 forums, I see a lot of posts of people saying they bought gems, some of them have bought over $150 in gems. It got me curious how much real money folks have spent on gems to date?
I bought $20 to 'try' the system out. Used it to buy an extra character slot and an extra bank slot. Worked fine.
I will NOT be giving ANet ANY more money until they liberally apply some vaseline behind their ears and collectively pull their heads out of their asses. Quite simply, there are far too many things wrong, either technically or philosophically, with the game right now to warrant any further monetary support until they start correcting what *I* feel are chronic issues.
just 3 char slots.
Ive spent $40, hell it may have even been $60.
What would a total of 8 character slots and four, or maybe five extra bank tabs/slots be?
"I understand that if I hear any more words come pouring out of your **** mouth, Ill have to eat every fucking chicken in this room."
No real money but I got myself 3 extra character slots (2400 gems or €30 worth) by selling gold for gems, so somebody must be buying gems with real money and that all adds to GW2 being a success.
I might go for a bank expansion, but the bag expansion is a luxury I can do without. I got my 3 mains 4 10-slot leather bags each for a total of 60 slots and that works just fine so far.
The gold/gem ratio seems to be going up with more and more people having enough gold to take a look at cash shop extras they might be interested in. So if you have extra gold and you're planning on getting things from the cash shop then it might be a good idea to get those sooner rather than later.
2.8% spent more of 251$ ?!?!?!
omfg trolls or you are so rich there ? :P

It's only money.
I bought my SWG pre cu Jedi account for $500 + a shitload of credits the following years.
It's no big deal tbh.
I'll just post some people in this thread have a terrible understanding of mathematics. Out of the generousness of my heart I'll simply say your calculations and methodology are wrong and anything you infer from them will be fallicious at best. So don't bother.
There's so many ways it's wrong I can't even be bothered going into it. Snarlingwolf I feel sorry for the eductaion system that produced your understand of mathematics as you have a woeful understanding, of it.
Nothing so far. If the game still feels as fun the next month as it have the first I will buy some gems though to support it, something like 20-25 euro or so.
But that wont be until they actually fixed up the higher level zones. A good game deserves a reward but not until I really consider it to be ready and the higher content do need some work still.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
I do not plan to buy anything from the shop with money.
If the game would push me to do so anytime, it would be a good reason for me to stop playing it.

Clearly you have no idea about data and how to properly analyse it.
How can you assume the same monthly spend, when all that this data shows is that a small percentage of people bought a one-off item early in the game.
You're accusing him of making an assumption, only to immediately make one yourself, without data to back it up. It doesn't say what those people spent on, it only says that they spent money and roughly how much. It doesn't indicate if they're going to spend more or not, it only indicates that already have.
You're pulling stuff out of thin air and making assumptions just as much as you're accusing Snarlingwolf of doing so.
Moreso, how does this equate to being bad for gamers?
Because the more developers see peole are willing to spend on in-game items, the more in-game items and services they are going to try to sell. Every item that's sold in a cash shop is something that could have been provided purely in-game, or the game design could be modified so buying those items aren't necessary to begin with.
For example, additional inventory space is completely arbitrary and a blatant cash grab. They could give each and every player the expanded inventory space for the cost of the box price - their system is obviously capable of handling it. But they don't. Why? 'cause they know they can make more money by selling it as a cash shop item, so they'd rather sell it and "monetize their players" a bit more. There is no reason they couldn't give people that additional inventory space from the get-go.
In fact, much of what is sold in cash shops are the very things that one would very reasonably expect to be included in the game in the first place. The developer have simply made the decision to remove them from the game (even though all code, graphics, etc for them is already taking up space on your HD), and then make you buy them as "added content". Extra character slots? They can provide those from day 1. Special objects, different armor looks, etc? Same thing. They're literally removing things from the game, and then "giving players the opportunity" to pay more for them. And people are eating it up ilke the best thing ever.
It's much more indicative of a trend than it's isn't. A few years ago, the idea of even a F2P MMO having a cash shop was considered completely unacceptable. Now, a few years on, people are defending games that have a cash shop on top of a box fee+sub. It's exactly as Snarlingwolf says. As time goes on, it becomes "the norm", people become more accepting of it, and developers are able to push and get away with a little more. It works because it's a gradual process, happening slowly enough that no one really notices - unless they're really paying attention, which many aren't. It took us 3-4 years or so to get where we are now. As the trend continues, what do you expect people will be defending 3-4 years out from now?
Given the trend occurring already in that area, I would put my money on the safe bet that gaming will be more expensive down the road because people are so permissive and passive - even supportive - of the whole "monetization of players" routine going on now. Developers will continue to find ways to shift standard gameplay elements (e.g. inventory space) from being a standard part of the game itself, to being a "premium item" to be bought from the cash shop.
Saddest thing is, people will continue to support and defend it, just like they are now. Sadder still, for many the defense of it will have nothing to do with their acceptance or understanding of what they're defending. It'll have everything to do with them doing the "fanboy" thing, where they feel they have to defend the game against any and all criticism.
It will certainly save me some cash because I have no intention of spending on vanity items or things I can get in-game anyway - as seems to be the case with most people who have replied here.
Because you are not everyone and your spending habits and preferences do not reflect everyone's spending habits and preferences. People have talked about spending over $200 in their first 2 weeks on this game on cash shop items. Others haven't spent that much, but have certainly spent enough to buy a game box at least 2 or 3 times. You have to take everyone into consideration, not just what you do or don't do.
I hope Arenanet do make more money from the cash shop to support their game and business, but at least it will come from those who can afford it and choose to go that route.

So with a normal subscription MMO you'd have brought in $3120 from these people. If you assume best case scenario and they've all just subbed up for month 2 at $15 it would be $3900. With GW2 model and this poll and assuming dead center in each choice as the average spent and assuming $300 for the 251+ you end up with: ~$4340 or 1.4x as much money spent over if 100% of the people subbing for a second month in a sub based game. Yes B2P as the future sounds great for gamers...
Seems almost everyone who purchased, bought bag/bank space. Those are really a one-off and I can't see the same spend occuring month after month.
You make some poorly based assumptions.
None of the assumptions are the least bit poorly based. To assume that a company which makes money off a store won't continue to come up with things for people to spend money on would be the poor assumption.
Given how many people I saw running around in game with the ridiculous sunglasses and boxing gloves, I would also say people aren't just spending money on bag/bank space.
You'll also notice in my assumption I helped the B2P model by assuming a 100% continue to play rate which raises how much the subscription type of game costs. In reality you at best end up with a 50% rate on the first month if not lower which further increases the cost difference between the two models.
But be that guy who just says anything anyone says is just wrong if it is at all critical of the game they love.
I don't mind being critical, there's plenty I don't like about GW2.
To jump in and make assumptions based on a poll with only 50 or so votes, seems a bit premature.
My argument still stands and it doesn't matter whether it's GW2 or not, you're talking about the whole B2P model.
The vast majority have spent nothing, some chose to make things easier by buying something they may see as essential, in this case bank and bag space.
If a gamer has disposable income he wants to dispose of to increase his enjoyment, how is that bad for gamers?
It doesn't lessen my enjoyment of the game.
So be that guy who in the absence of a reasonable argument, stoops to the safety zone of calling me a fanboy.
One can argue that people who don't want to leech from other people, would enjoy themselves less if they didn't pay a certain sum in the item mall. Because, that's what F2P and B2P with item mall expect: they expect a few people to pay more so that a lot of people can pay less, i.e. a few people pay so that other can leech. It is though consensual leeching, but still leeching.
$59 for the game.
2g 40s for 600 gem to expand my bank.

Originally posted by SnarlingWolf The main money makers in F2P games are more storage/more character slots so I wouldn't call GW2's B2P store "fluff items".
But the question is, how many of those F2P games allow you to get the same bonuses (bag space, character slots) through in game gold? Not any that I can recall.
Allods Online lets you buy shards with in-game gold. It has a similar system as the one GW2 is using. There's an NPC that buys/sells shards. The more players sell shards the cheaper they become, buying shards drives prices up.
Of course that cash shop is pay2win and you'd need to grind gold till your eyes bleed dollars to become competitive on in-game gold alone.

NHTSA — Engine Problems
2011 Ford Fusion (Page 6 of 13)
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2011 Fusion builds off the 2010's reputation. That's not a good thing.
The first thing that jumps out is the ridiculous amount of power steering complaints. It grinds, it squeals, and it eventually just fails.
And if losing power steering isn't enough for you, how about a sudden loss of engine power? That combination is enough to achieve clunker status.

Rio+20: Opportunity to Fast Track Transition to Green Economy, Lift Millions Out of Poverty
Rio de Janeiro, 14 June 2012- A transition to a green economy could lift millions of people out of poverty and transform the livelihoods of many of the 1.3 billion people earning just US$1.25 a day around the world, but only when supported by strong policies and public- and private-sector investments.
These are the findings of a new report, Building an Inclusive Green Economy for All, launched today at the Rio+20 summit by the Poverty-Environment Partnership (PEP), a network of bilateral aid agencies, development banks, UN agencies and international NGOs. The report finds that many developing and least developed countries are already pursuing a transition towards low-carbon, resource efficient economies.
Scaling-up current examples of the green economy in action - particularly in developing countries - has the potential to deliver a 'triple bottom line' of job-creating economic growth, environmental sustainability and social inclusion, says the report.
But targeted investments and governance reforms are needed to overcome current barriers that are preventing many poor communities from fully benefiting from a green economy.
The new report finds that many Least Developed Countries, as well as many poor regions of middle income countries, are actually richly endowed with the natural resources that would allow them to build green economies that can sustainably reduce poverty.
"Many least developed and developing countries and communities are seizing the opportunity to bring economy and ecology together in order to generate transformational social outcomes," said Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), a PEP member, at the launch of the report in Rio de Janeiro.
"The challenge for world leaders meeting here at Rio+20 is to forge and to back the enabling policies, catalytic financing, and social protection packages in order to fast forward these ambitions and to take them to scale."
"By embracing an inclusive green economy, leaders in Rio have a rare opportunity to improve the lives of millions of people and usher in a new era of sustainability," said Manish Bapna, Acting President of the World Resources Institute, which co-ordinated the study.
"Shifting to an inclusive green economy will not happen on its own. It requires smart government policies and strong leadership. This report presents a bold vision for a green economy that can tackle poverty and inequality, and, importantly, it offers concrete and practical building blocks to make this transition."
The report cites many strong examples of developing countries that are already successfully shifting to a green economy. For example:
On the international level, the development of Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD or REDD+) also offers potential for poverty eradication if accompanied by rigorous social safeguards especially for local and indigenous people. For example, in Indonesia, a US $1 billion REDD+ investment by Norway has led to a one year moratorium on logging in Kalimantan, has the potential to safeguard 45 percent of the province's forests, while providing new livelihood and income opportunities for local people.
Many low and middle-income countries are rich in resources for ecotourism; a sector that is projected to generate revenues of US $240 billion in 2012. Much of this growth is in developing countries as diverse as Botswana, Belize, Brazil, Costa Rica, Gabon, Kenya and Nepal.
Least developed countries with less developed infrastructure, particularly in urban areas, can benefit from an inclusive green economy with the right enabling policies and targeted international investments in areas from energy efficiency and clean technologies to modern public transportation systems.
Such efforts can also serve to boost the creation of decent, green jobs. In Lagos, Nigeria, public-private partnerships to improve the city's infrastructure, reduce congestion and upgrade slums have helped create around 4,000 environment-related jobs among unemployed youth.
Regarding health, environmental risk factors are the cause of around one-fifth of the total disease burden in developing countries, and a large proportion of childhood deaths.
Many green economy investments have the potential to deliver significant benefits for human health. For example, supporting clean fuels and vehicles will lower greenhouse gas emissions, while also reducing respiratory diseases. Similarly, investing in cleaner energy for households in developing countries, such as through more efficient cookstoves, can reduce dependency on wood fuel and tackle deforestation, while limiting exposure to indoor air pollution.
The report underlines that the private sector, including large multinationals and small- and medium-sized enterprises, along with non-governmental organizations have a key enabling role, too.
For example:
"There is strong evidence that a transition to a low-carbon, resource-efficient green economy could hugely benefit the poor while helping preserve vital ecosystem services," said Johan Kuylenstierna, executive director of the Stockholm Environment Institute, a PEP member and co-author of the report.
"The challenge at Rio+20 is to make strong international commitments that will ensure the green economy can grow and flourish, with both public- and private-sector support. We also need to adopt policies to protect the vulnerable as their economies make this transition, and to ensure that the benefits of the green economy are fairly and equitably distributed."
"In the Asia-Pacific region, the twin tracks of investing in sustainable inclusive infrastructure and the sustainable management of critical ecosystems to support future economic development can make a huge impact on the welfare of the poor - in both urban and rural settings," said Bindu N. Lohani, Vice-President for Knowledge Management and Sustainable Development, Asian Development Bank.
"Regional institutions must galvanize efforts by governments to create the right enabling policies and channel financial resources into inclusive green growth - the kind of growth that benefits the developing countries and the poorer members of their populations."
The report calls on delegates meeting for the Rio+20 Summit to consider "five critical building blocks" towards an inclusive green economy. These can maximize the benefits for the poor of a green economy, and foster a shared policy agenda between developing country governments, developed country partners and other stakeholders.
Note to Editors:
Building An Inclusive Green Economy For All: Opportunities and Challenges for Overcoming Poverty and Inequality will be launched at 1pm (Rio de Janeiro time) on 14 June at the UN Media Centre, Pavilion 3, Riocentro.

Maryellen Brubaker
Maryellen Brubaker, 83, died at home in Grand Junction on Thursday, Dec. 19, 2013.
Born Jan. 28, 1930, in Kingman, Kan., to Floyd and Florence Sparks Closson, she attended Kingman High School and later earned a degree in library science from the University of Utah. She married Robert (Bob) Brubaker on July 20, 1947.
In 1950, Maryellen and Bob moved to Meeker, Colo.; to Cortez in January 1970; and to their farm north of Lewis in 1977. They relocated to Grand Junction in September 2013. Maryellen was librarian at the Cortez Public Library from 1971 until she retired in 1999.
Maryellen was member of the Cortez United Methodist Church, the American Library Association (ALA), and the Cortez chapter of the PEO. She will be remembered for her years as head librarian, her love of reading, and introducing many children to books through Children's Story Hours at the library and surrounding schools even after her retirement.

Castle Island...
Boats to Castle Island run from April to October from Kinross Pier (right outside The Boathouse Bistro) which is just a 15 minute walk from the Green Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort hotels.
It's the second largest of the Loch's seven islands and much larger than it was before the great drainage scheme of 1830 when Lochleven Castle and its gardens occupied the whole island.
Today, Lochleven is under the stewardship of Historic Scotland and is considered by many to be one of Scotland's most important medieval monuments - both because of the structures and the buildings that remain and because of it's colourful past.
Although it is unclear who first built a fortified structure here, the curtain wall probably dates back to around 1300 with the tower house being built not long afterwards. And its origins would appear to lie in Edward I of England's attempts to conquer Scotland, first launched in 1296.
Indeed, there is a story that William Wallace captured the castle from the English. Certainly Robert I (the Bruce) was staying on the island in 1313 during preparations for the Battle of Bannockburn. And it remained as a royal castle until 1390 when Robert II granted it to Sir Henry Douglas.
...and Mary Queen of Scots
And it was still in the hands of the Douglas family when its most famous visitor, Mary Queen of Scots, arrived for the first time in 1561 shortly after her return from France following the death of her first husband, the French king Francis 1.
She was to return to Lochleven, as a visitor, on two separate occasions. First in 1563, during which stay she disputed heatedly with John Knox, the architect of the Protestant Reformation in Scotland, whom she had summoned to the castle and again in 1565, accompanied by her second husband, Lord Darnley.
Her next visit, following the suspicious death of Darnley and Mary's third marriage, this time to the Earl of Bothwell, was not to be a voluntary one.
In 1567, tensions between Bothwell and various members of the Scottish nobility had culminated in the abortive Battle of Carberry Hill and Mary's surrender. Within a matter of days, Mary was a prisoner at Lochleven where she was to remain for almost a year in the custody of her former host, Sir William Douglas.
Attended by two ladies-in-waiting, a cook and a personal doctor, and free to walk the castle grounds, it wasn't perhaps the most gruelling of imprisonments, nor was it an easy time for her. Whilst on the island, she suffered a tragic miscarriage of twins and was forced to abdicate in favour of her infant son who became James VI of Scotland (and later James I of England).
In 1568. she made a daring escape and managed to raise a small army, but within a fortnight of her escape, her army had been defeated at the Battle of Langside and Mary was in exile in England, never again to return to the country of which she had been queen almost since the day of her birth.
With such a rich and romantic history, Castle Island has to be on your list of places to visit while staying at The Green resort.
Contact Us if you would like to step back in history and book a boat trip out to visit the historic Island on Loch Leven.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

Thanks Debi. He had the best laugh as well.Delete
What a great picture! Pictures like this so wonderfully capture what it was like at family gatherings in the 1960s and 70s--the homemade layer cake, the wood paneling on the walls, the Corelle Ware plates, etc.ReplyDeleteReplies
You certainly got that right in regards to the wood paneling and homemade layer cake. Thanks for stopping by.Delete
Your grandpa is a handsome man, I like his smile.ReplyDelete

Nothing gives us and instant fashion fix more than an eclectic mix of denim, bold prints (think snake, leopard, and Navajo), flirty sequins, and bad ass leather and studs! Sound amazing? We knew you'd dig it! LF's latest fall lookbook has got all of the above and more! We love the overall western meets bohemian grunge feel of it all styled with the perfect touches of on-trend sequins and fur for an added touch of luxe. Snake print denim, leopard shoes, and Navajo-inspired accessories finish off the look seamlessly. It's safe to say that this fall season more is definitely more!

Not A Great ProductI have been using a European brand of spray color for thinning hair for years but the price keeps rising so I decided to try a less expensive product. This product is horrible. The colors are very off from the label, the thin film you spray on looks very fake. It will run and streak if you are not very careful. I do not recommend this product even to cover gray as the color is too off and there is few colors to chose from.Oct 27, 2014Donn / WAHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Does The Job Of What It Says It Will Do.I'm a person (male) with an area of very thinning hair at the top of my head. For the last 20 years I have simply shaved my head and was very content with the baldie appeal of my shaved head. A few month ago I decided to let my hair grow out just to see how much grey I have all over my now 50 year old head. To my surprise it wasn't all that much but the thin area on top still remained even more so. I had been doing research on techniques for thinning hair and came across a few sites some mention product that don't replace hair but will conceal any thin and or balding areas giving the illusion of having hair even from a relatively close distance. This was one of the products that; from it's reviews; seemed to offer a solution to allow my to have a what appears to be a full head of hair. So one day I decided to order just one can of Spritz N Color to see what is will do for me. IT WORKS well to cover the thin area completely with a few sprays to the area needed. What I find it that it is best to spray and quickly brush or comb the color into the hair and scalp. It will dry very very quickly and leave a very very stiff hold. If it should dry to soon simply brush or comb the product in very gently so as not to brake off the any remaining hair you have. You will be surprised with trial and error just how much you will like this product. ANOTHER MAJOR PLUS IS IT DOES NOT WIPE OFF EASILY ON YOUR CLOSE OR PILLOW CASE IF AT ALL!!! That is it's self is wonderful. YET ANOTHER PLUS is IT WILL NO COME OFF IN THE RAIN OR SIMPLE WETNESS IE SWEATING. You will have to use a shampoo; even if it is baby shampoo; in order to wash it out completely. If you are reading this and other reviews stop here and just buy one can and see for your self. By the way; if you should get any over-spray on your skin where you don't want it to be simply use some rubbing alcohol and a paper towel and rub it off that or those areas with ease. One more thing to note is that the product does have a dry dull appearance and lack of any shine/sheen. For me that is ok but for some the need for a luster may be wanted. This product does not offer that but it does offer GREAT HOLDING POWER for any hair type and/or style with a GREAT TEMPORARY DYE.Sep 19, 2014Jerry B. / Columbia, MDHAIR TYPEBlack / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

The Best I Have Found In YearsExcellent for thinning hair/bald spots...excellent color choice in medium brown...usually the browns are too dark and harsh...this is great...hairdresser loves it as it gives hair additional body. outstanding product. Only draw back is hairdresser is not necessarily as adept at spraying as she could be.

Does Cover HoweverBecause it is a spray it is difficult to control and the color ends up on your hands. It is easily washed off. The spray does cover scalp as advertised however your hair becomes stiff and hard in those spots. Not easy to brush after and then pulls on the hair that is still on your head.Oct 19, 2013DonnaHAIR TYPEColor Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Very Good Product!I've tried them all and this is the best, although still not perfect. I use it on my child who has alopecia areata or patchy baldness and it sprays on smoothly and acurately, and covers wonderfully. It stays on better than any of the other products and you can't beat the spray mechanism itself. The perfect product in my view would come in more colors and need a solvent to remove it - in other words, it would stay on while swimming and would not rub off on collars and pillows. This will rub off, but not that easily. It also does seem to be somewhat waterproof, but we haven't used it in warm weather yet while swimming. I suspect it will stay on at first, but eventually come off the longer the child is in the water. There really is no better product, and it is way cheaper than Millefolium which we used to use and was our next favorite until they changed the spray packaging and it no longer sprayed accurately or covered well. When I voiced my dismay to that company, their response was unfriendly. I used Spritz and Color years ago when it was called something else, but it had been discontinued back then, but apparently it was only to change the label. I never knew it had been released again. Recently we found it again, only to have it become unavailable once more while they changed the label again and the name this time. I wish we had known it had been available all these years. I still have that original can with a little product in it from a long time ago in case we ever needed something really good for a special event. We are so relieved we found this product again at long last! (I am also glad they changed the label since the picture of the guy with mail patterned baldness on the cover was not what we wanted to see, so I would cover the label with duct tape in case any of my child's friends were to see the can)Mar 2, 2013Heidi E.

Ok, I Guess.This is the first time I'm using a hair concealer spray so I won't be comparing this product with another. Anyways, this hair concealer spray does cover your thinning spots, although unlike what is advertised, it does rub off if you buried your finger in the treated area. Luckily, it wont rub off if you just whisk your hair with your hand. Also, this concealer spray doubles as a hair spray because it leaves your hair with a hold, which is good and bad; good, because it makes your hair stay in place, but bad because with thinning fragile hair, combing after spraying is definitely a big no. The other caveat is that if you are going to take a bath everyday and use the product everyday, you'll probably run out of this hair spray in less than one month because the can is rather small. All in all, is an ok product but if there's another product that's better, I wouldn't be surprised.Feb 9, 2013EdwinHAIR TYPEBlack / Fine or Thin Hair

Her son just turned 14 but he wasn't home to celebrate it with his family.
Dylan Redwine had a birthday on Feb. 6 but instead of having cake and opening presents with his loved ones, his family is still trying to find him after he disappeared without a trace.
The teen disappeared on Nov. 19 after going to visit his dad in Vallecito for Thanksgiving. His mom, Elaine Redwine, said when she first got the news that he was missing she thought he would be back the next day. But now it's nearly three months later and Dylan has not been found.
"I've followed all the missing people cases. I've followed the missing children, the missing women and my heart ached for them. You never think it's going to be you in that position," Redwine cried. "When I was driving up to Durango I thought we'll get a call from one of his friends or we'll find him up in the mountains or something and when it was prolonged I knew someone else was involved because two-and-a-half months later Dylan couldn't have done this himself."
Redwine said the investigators are doing what they can despite the little information they have. She doesn't believe Dylan just walked away or that he went off somewhere and hitched a ride.
"Vallecito is a small area and if he would have gotten a ride with somebody or if he would have been up in the woods all by himself we would have found something by now," Redwine said.
She added that if Dylan would have left on his own he would have called her or texted his friends. She said he was looking forward to going to visit his friends. His last text was at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 18. His phone went missing along with his backpack that contained his belongings.
Redwine didn't come out and say her ex-husband Mark Redwine had anything to do with Dylan's disappearance but she does believe he knows more than he's telling anyone.
"I think that those last hours that we can account for Dylan are crucial. I have so many questions and no answers. And everything that he is saying is so uncharacteristic of Dylan," Redwine said.
When Dylan first went missing Elaine Redwine was interviewed by Good Morning America and Nancy Grace and now the family has an opportunity to be featured on the Dr. Phil show Feb. 13 to get the word out about Dylan however Redwine said her ex wouldn't agree and said he could do it at the end of the month instead.
"It really frustrates me because that's two weeks longer and we could do it next Wednesday. Cory (Dylan's older brother) and I are up for that. Whatever it takes to bring Dylan home we're there," she said. "We need to come together collectively to find Dylan."
Keeping the word out
Redwine said it's important to keep Dylan's face out there. Several rallies have taken place with the most recent one on Dylan's birthday in Limbach Park in Monument.
"We have to do something to keep Dylan out there and keep his story and his face out there. I don't want to hold any more rallies I just want him to come home," an emotional Redwine said. "But if that's what we have to do to keep him out there then that's what we'll do."
Redwine said they moved to Colorado Springs from Bayfield in July and then eventually moved into their home in Monument. She said the amount of support they have received from the communities is humbling. A spaghetti fundraiser took place at Lewis-Palmer High School recently and brought a lot of money in to go towards the reward. The reward is now more than $50,000.
Dylan Redwine is an eighth grade student at Lewis-Palmer Middle School and Redwine said he was enjoying school and had made a lot of friends. She said he is looking forward to high school next year.
Holding on to hope
Redwine said other stories about missing children that have returned home give her hope that her son will return home.
"I have to cling to hope. It's not something you can touch, it's not something you can see. It's something you feel. I have hope that Dylan will come home safe."
Every time the phone rings she has a glimmer of hope that it will be Dylan calling. Their weekends are spent going down to Durango searching for him, visiting the sheriff's office for any information.
Until Dylan comes home life is on hold. Elaine Redwine has returned to her job but her thoughts are consumed with finding her son, wondering what happened to him. She said they didn't celebrate Christmas but only gathered together as a family for the sake of her mom who has terminal cancer.
"We just want someone to come forward and let us know. Any little tidbit may help us, may crack it (the case) right open. We just want Dylan home," she said.
If anyone has any information leading to the whereabouts of Dylan Redwine they are asked to call the La Plata County Crime Stoppers at 970-247-1112 or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678.

"It's more excitement to go deep in a game," Pettit said by phone from Trenton. "To have that thrill of chasing the no-hitter."
The Orioles prospect took his no-hit bid into the eighth inning before allowing a solo homer as the Baysox held on for their sixth straight win, a 3-2 triumph over the Thunder.
In the first inning, Pettit (9-3) plunked designated hitter Luke Murton, who homered twice in Friday's series opener, on an inside fastball that kept cutting. Then he reversed course, retiring 18 consecutive batters.
"I was on a good track from the start," said Pettit, who threw 77 pitches through 7 1/3 innings and finished with 93 (63 for strikes). "I don't remember what inning it was -- the fourth or the fifth -- when I realized, 'I have a no-hitter going. Let's go for it.'"
A grasp of each of his four pitches -- fastball, changeup, curveball and slider -- paved the way.
"I was throwing 'em all for strikes," said Pettit, cutting down the reliance on his best offering.
It was a breaking ball that ended his bid for history.
"I tried to throw a back-foot slider and it Frisbeed up there," he said of his 2-2 pitch to shortstop Addison Maruszak that ended up clearing the center-field fence. "I was mad it happened, but I was trying to finish the game."
Pettit also walked a batter before giving way to closer Kyle Newby after a season-high 7 2/3 near-spotless innings.
Still, Pettit, a 42nd-round pick in the 2010 Draft, called Saturday night his best start as a pro.
The 25-year-old left-hander, who missed three weeks in May due to soreness in his elbow, has a 4.10 ERA in 22 games (19 starts) in his first season at Double-A.
Trenton counterpart Vidal Nuno (7-5) gave up two runs on seven hits over six frames.
Maruszak came to the plate with two outs in the ninth and the potential tying run at third base. Newby walked him before striking out Kevin Mahoney for his 16th save.

Reading is Fundamental
BREAKING: In a surprising turn of events, books exist in the physical realm. In the interest of your papered pleasure, here is a rundown of some noteworthy and [pretty] new Chicago imprints.
- RE: things in the lap, by Edmund Chia. This sincere and experimental volume by Peregrine Program proprietor Edmund Chia covers his experience of the last three years of exhibitions through prose, poetry and images from Peregrine artists. Chia's poetic interpretations are like remembering through someone else's brain. Sweet cover art by David Salkin. Available here.
Psychosexual catalog, ANDREW RAFACZ GALLERY, curated by Scott J. Hunter. Rafacz told the T that this catalog is the first in a series, with forthcoming edition for Wendy White's solo exhibition in September. The catalogs are part of larger initiative to expand and deepen the galleries programming with longer running exhibitions and events like the catalog release and conversation on May 25th.
A "real extension of the show" Rafacz said the book is meant to be a "sexy object," sporting a lux cover, BUTT magazine-esque pink pages and elaborate typography. Designed by Ryan Swanson, Jason Foumberg's diagrammatic essay might be Psychosexual's sexiest piece. Also includes an essay by Hunter and a great read about a Caravaggio work by Elijah Burger. More information on the Psychosexual catalog here.
- Space, Interiors and Exteriors, 1972, Sun Ra + Ayé Aton. A new book with never-before-seen photos by Sun Ra, released by Corbett vs. Dempsey? owning this book will score you about a million cool points. Featuring photographs by Mr. Ra, murals by Aton, an introduction by Glenn Ligon and an essay by John Corbett. It's pretty much an investment. Availble here.
- Sunday Thoughts, by Clay Hickson. I love seeing Hickson's "Sunday Thoughts" on my tumblr stream, so I couldn't be more excited to have the entire collection in the flesh. Sunday Thoughts was recently featured alongside other local, national and maybe even international artists at Johalla Project's Artist Book Collection, curated by Nina Hartmann.
