Cool place with cool people.GabrielApril 2016
A very modern nice looking house that is very clean and I made some good friends in this place. It was a good choiceDavidMay 2016
Friendly host. I have a good time here. I hope I can come again :). Clean house and conformtable bed. 8 minute walking distance from metro station.TimMay 2016
I loved my stay with them! The host was very caring and offered all the support I would ever need. With a map on my phone I could find the house easily and everything else was very simple. Special thanks to the staff who are lovely and helped me with every thing I needed and also showed me around! My stay was very short (3 days), but I definitely recommend it for anyone!VictorJune 2016
Awesome, this is a great spot in the center of the city. it's about 10 minute walk to Apgujeong station and 15 min to Sinsa station. Neighborhood is quiet but lively. The house is clean and modern, with plenty of showers. This Air BnB is mostly women and I believe the host wishes to keep it that way. There's plenty of people that come through and are up for going out to see Seoul and enjoy some of it's food or it's nightlife. All and all a good spot.KevinMay 2016
This place was awesome! The house was super clean and modern, the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms clean and I was provided with everything I needed. The in-house staff and Sarah were so helpful and kind. The other guests were awesome too and I had so much fun staying in the house! The location is super convenient, close to the station, shopping and the centre of action in garosugil. It was also super close to pretty much any location in seoul on the subway. However, the area immediately around the house was super quiet. Would highly recommend to anyone.JessicaJune 2016

An awesome homely experience with thoughtful and nice host, just a perfect place to stay in Seoul!!!CassandraMay 2016
The first time I saw your house,I begun to fall in love with it!The IKEA and MUJI style is so (URL HIDDEN) the room,nearly everything we need is supplied.Somy is so considerable~I will definitely recommend it to my friends.KrissyJune 2016
Somy's place was so welcoming and well equipped. She really thinks about everything that her guests could need, including a clothes steamer for those pesky suitcase wrinkles! We couldn't have asked for a better place and would definitely stay again.AngelaJune 2016
Somy's house is beautiful. The Location is great, near to the Lotte. And Somy is heartful, thank to help me a lot!~YunzheJanuary 2016
Somy's house is the most comfortable host house so far that I have ever visited. The house is warm and very clean. All faculties are very helpful n lovely. You'll be able to find almost every thing in Somy's house with full of love! Thank you very much.RuiFebruary 2016
I stayed in Somy's apartment with a friend and we absolutely loved it!! The apartment has a great design and is stocked with literally anything you could need during your stay in Seoul and even has a wifi egg too! A few tips about the neighborhood, there is a Korean Airlines shuttle bus (that actually has stops all over Seoul) that has a stop right by Lotte World and it's 10,000 won to Gimpo or 16,000 won to Incheon. They store all your luggage for free, and it was only 70 minutes to Incheon, even though this apartment is very far from the center of Seoul. There is also a GS Grocery store very close as well as multiple convenience stores, so it is a great area for an Airbnb. Just for planning purposes, it does take about 45 minutes to an hour to get to most places in central Seoul so just take that in to account :) I would ABSOLUTELY stay in Somy's apartment again, and I recommend all traveler's in Seoul stay here as well~LaurenJune 2016
Thank you for their warm hospitality! Their home is very clear and beautiful! Everything we need is equipped. We don't need to bring so much thing! It is very great!!Somy is very nice and friendly! She helps us to order the food because we don't know Korean. Also, their home is exactly same with the pictures! Overall, it is great!!PoyuJune 2016

Myeong-Dong SIS's apartment is as described. Very close to the Seoul Station and Lotte Mart. It is very convenient for us to get the place. We had a great time in Seoul and Myeong-Dong SIS's apartment. Next time will also choose this apartment.ShaneeJanuary 2016
It has been nothing but great experience at this location. First of all, if you are a morning person who loves getting fitness out of the way in the morning. Their gym on the 29th floor is superb. Location is closed to Seoul station. literally we don't even need to get out of the cold on the streets, everything is connected underground. highly recommended and a rare find. the view in the room gives you such a different vibe, will miss waking up to it and going to sleep at nightJasonMarch 2016
Nice apartment with excellent view. Seoul Station is the transportation hub to everywhere. Very convenient location. Love the ease of access to metro and Lotte Mart at Exit 1. Host was very accommodating, as I couldn't sleep on soft fiber pillow thus requested for contour pillow, she actually took the trouble to buy and put in the apartment when I stayed there. Will definitely recommend to friends whenever they travel to Seoul. Great experience.DoelynJanuary 2016
Mijin was very prompt in her replies and helpful in giving very precise directions not just to the unit, but also to other places of interests. She even went out of her way to provide photographic directions and links. The unit was very well equipped and clean, but a bit tight for four persons. We stayed as a couple with 2 kids, so it was still very manageable. I would definitely recommend this unit and will stay again in the future.Gill FamilyJune 2016
The hosts were very friendly and helpful, everything was explained very clearly. The flat was well located, clean, comfortable and a great place to stay while in Seoul.AmyJune 2016
With our request of early check-in, Mijin promptly informed me when the room was available for us. The house manual provided beforehand was useful is helping us get to the apartment as well as to settle in to the apartment. There were full amenities made available to us and Mijin also kindly provided suggestions on places we could visit and have our meals. The apartment is clean and there is ample space for two with space for suitcases.PriscillaMay 2016
Very very nice apartment. Very clean and modern. Centrally located. Contact with the host was excellent. I would definitely recommend.momasaseJune 2016
Really nice apartment overlooking the tracks of Seoul Station (you'd get to see all the actions going on down there) with fantastic night views. Mijin-ssi and Jo were real helpful. Overall a great experience!Wan ZhenFebruary 2016

Eunpi is a really sweet person and I felt really welcomed to her and her sister's home. The room and home was exactly like the pictures shown. I really liked how comfortable it was staying with her. Their cats are especially adorable and lovable. The location was perfect where it was easy access to the subway and bus.ArindaJuly 2016
Eunpi is an awesome host. She is very accommodating and kind. Her home is also close to itaewon station. Bars and restaurants are everywhere.ArtMay 2016
Everything was right, the house is super close to the station, Eunpi was really kind. The cats are lovely, especially the grey one. Itaewon is fun and has all you can need, restaurant, partys, convenient stores, supermakets and also a great street full of vintage treasures!!! I enjoied a lot! 100% recomended!FranciscaJune 2016
I stayed at the listed place for 10 continuous nights. The hosts were very friendly and responsive to my text messages. The listed place is literally a block away from Itaewon subway station, which makes it an ideal place for taking the public transportation for travel as well as for checking out the nightclubs and bars in Itaewon. The room was very clean and quiet. Despite the presence of household pets (very cute and friendly, I might add), I never had problems with pet hairs (having 2 dogs myself, I know how hard this is). I was provided with my own room key, as well as keys for the house. The shared areas (kitchen and bathroom) were always clean. My privacy was respected and I always felt safe. I would definitely consider returning if I were to visit Seoul again!JiJune 2016
Enupi met me at the metro station and showed me the way, it is a few minutes walk from Itawon metro in a great area for eating and bars. She got up and helped me hail a taxi from the nearbye road next day. I stayed here as it was convenient for the intercity Youngsan station travelling to Gwangju. Great value.Trish July 2016
Eunpi was an amazing host. I felt extremely welcomed and comfortable for my full stay. She went out of her way to help me with a few small issues I had, and improved my overall experience. The location is also incredible, within two minutes of the subway and hundreds of restaurants, bars, and shops. I plan on staying with her again.DanielJune 2016
Love the place a lot. Eunpi was really nice and really cool to talk to... Her sister Nori is very nice even though she can't speak much English but she try her best to help me...they have two cats..Gum was the friendliest, he always sleep in my bed Hahha..the location is very nice, since there are many stores near by to shop and even eat...highly recommend this place.NoeJuly 2016

William's place was perfect for anyone who wants to stay in downtown Bucheon. Right next to the bus stop, subway, shopping, and a nice park. The apartment is very nice and clean.

I stayed Jacob's house for 2nights. He is friendly and responsible so much! I'm so happy to being with him and his sister;) His place was quiet and good location. Room is clean enough and cozy. I strongly recommend to stay at Jacob's place! Thank you soooooo much! Hope to visit again!;)HitomiMarch 2016
It was very easy to locate Jacob 's place as per the advice . Jacob's response was fast , and the place is convenient .kennethJune 2016
Jacob (along with her sister Ye-jin) was a great host and very good at making you feel welcome at his place. He gave a couple of recommendations on where to go in Seoul. Although I came during his finals, he was very attentive and fast in replying to my questions. Overall, I would definitely come back (hopefully when he is not swamped with finals) 저 머무러줘서 고마워요~ 다음에 봐요!HaoweiJune 2016
Sister is very beautiful , very enthusiastic . 23:00 personally pick me to the subway station . I got home to prepare fruit and water. I'm hungry at night , took me to a convenience store . Home is very clean, convenient transportation , convenient life , also to the next , unfortunately, did not see the handsome brother.TonyMay 2016
This was my first trip to Korea and my first Airbnb experience. Both Kwang Jin and Ye Jin are fun and friendly. Communication was never a problem as Kwang Jin speaks fluent English while his sister understands English pretty well. They were both very helpful during my 6 days stay. The room was clean and comfortable with all the amenities as promised in the advertisement. Located a short 5 or 7 mins walk from the nearest subway station made getting around easy. There is a market, lots of restaurants and convenience stores, and a lovely park by the river. All within walking distance of the housing area so get stuff was not difficult. Being a housing area, it was very quiet and peaceful, a nice place to come back to after a full day of sightseeing. On days when Kwang Jin was free, we went out together for drinks and meals. He would educate me on Korean way of life and culture. He introduced me to many of his friends and hanging out together with them made my Seoul experience all the more real and memorable. I learnt a lot from him. I would definitely recommend anyone visiting Seoul to stay with them. I will stay with them again if I were to go to Seoul again.ParamApril 2016
Jacob and his sister, Yejin, are very friendly and energetic! The room is comfortable, and spacious enough for one person. The location of the house is 'ok' near the subway station and 'walkable' centre of Hongdae area. Jacob picked me from the subway station at the first night, and indeed the second night when I got lost too :P He tried to spend time with me, which is really encouraging. At night and sleeping time, Jacob and Yejin keep their room door open so that I feel like I can find them freely when I need help. Jacob speaks very good English, and give explanation on every thing. Though Yejin does not speak English much, we communicate a bit in Korean, and she showed me her music video works. It's COOL! A bit sad that I were travelling quite busily, but I would be interested to book this room when I come to Seoul next time to interact more with Jacob and Yejin.ManiMarch 2016
Jacob and Yejin were great hosts. This is one of the best places I've stayed at through Airbnb. It was a great price and the hosts were always fast to go out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. The room was exceptionally clean and well organized. I always felt cozy in the room they provided and welcomed in their living space. I'll definitely look into staying with them again next time I come to Seoul.TomMarch 2016
Jin and his sister are very friendly hosts. He came to pick us up at the station. The room is very clean,and I felt like I was at home (URL HIDDEN) near his apartment,there is SPA&Sauna I went to.It's very (URL HIDDEN) was a fantastic experience and I wish I could have stayed longer! Thank you! 彼と彼のお姉さんはとてもフレンドリーなホストでした。彼は私を駅まで迎えに来てくれました。部屋はとても綺麗で、自宅にいるように寛げました。彼のアパートのすぐ近くにはサウナもあり、快適でした。とても良い経験をさせてもらい、もっと長期間、滞在したかったです。ありがとう!HaziMarch 2016

Monica's place was very clean and cozy, with amazing view. The place was not big but had every needed thing including fresh extra towels, good quality bathroom amenties, salt&pepper, cooking oil and a big bottle of water. At ground floor, there were 24/7 convenience store, ATM, and coffee shop. The whole building was well secured and brand new. The location was great; across Seoul station and 10 mins to Myeongdong by taxi. Most of all, Monica was very prompt in responding my online messages. She even helped me get free parking for my 4 days' stay. I strongly recommend this place! :)raeFebruary 2016
This studio is a great place to stay because transportation is very convenient. Seoul station is right by the studio, and at this station, there's an express train that takes you straight to and from Incheon airport. I also love the cleanliness and neatness of this studio. Besides the studio itself, the coffee shop located on the ground level of Twincity Residence called "Coffee @Works" serves great coffee. Lastly, Monica response quickly to my requests and questions. I highly recommend this studio if you are looking for a clean and convenient place to stay in Seoul.PuiMarch 2016
The apartment is well maintained and clean, with a great view that made me feel welcomed each time after a long day out. Monica has been a great host, attending to my questions with patience. I will definitely go back there again.NadyaDecember 2015

Amazing place with great views! Location was perfect being right next to Seoul Station and with a coffee shop and a mini shop just underneath the building! Very clean apartment with all basic amenities included. Great communication with the host and went the extra mile when I forgot my key at night! Defenately recommend her place. Monica thank you.KevinFebruary 2016
Monica's apartment is amazingly beautiful. Totally new and tastefully furnished, you'll find it exactly how it's been pictures here on Airbnb. It's also conveniently located near the exit of Seoul station so a huge plus as well. Monica's also a great host. She'll promptly reply any questions you'd have ASAP (literally within minutes).NathanielFebruary 2016
It was a nice and comfortable experience at Monica's. The place is clean, easily accessed and secured. It is located in downtown and very convenient for connecting subways. I do recommend staying at her place.DaoMarch 2016

Аpartment has good location, close to sinnonhyeon station and many places as C&U shop, Niko And..., HoTTrack, etc., cafes and stores nearby. Host was helpfull and when we aproached a half of an hour erlier there was no any problem to check-in. Person who was cleaning the room at the moment we came was very affable and explaned all the stuff - boiler, gas-stove, conditioner, and so on. It was rather cold in Seoul and in the room, but a bed heater and additional space heater helped to get warmer. The price is quite reasonable for this appartment.KirillFebruary 2015
Not the easiest place to find when visiting Seoul for the first time. However once you've found this place you then realize how close it is to many places to eat and enjoy the night life. The building is quiet but walls are a bit thin. The room is a lot larger than I expected with very good sunlight.Ape February 2015
We didn't have much contact with Sun-Jin before arrival - as another reviewer mentioned, be sure to prompt Sun-Jin for the room details if she doesn't send them! We arrived at Sun-Jin's house with little fuss, since her directions were really helpful. (However, please note that the final picture in the instructions is a little out of date, and the ''chicken'' restaurant sign is no longer there!) The room was clean and tidy, and absolutely big enough for the two of us. The kitchen had everything we needed to make small meals as and when we needed, and the amenities were useful. We would have benefitted from some brief instructions on how to use the air-con, but we figured out how to use it without flooding the place quickly. The bathroom was small, but the water was always hot. We used the washing machine a couple of times during out visit. Again, we would have benefitted from having some instructions for the machine as it was vastly different to the ones we have back at home. We soon got to grips with it, however, and it proved to be really convenient to use. Having 24 hour security in the building made us feel completely safe throughout our stay and whenever we had any queries, we could always ask one of the guards on duty. The location of the house was brilliant as we were close to Gangnam with all its shops and restaurants, but also close to the station whenever we fancied exploring different parts of Seoul. By the end of our stay, we were so sad to leave South Korea and Wood House No. 5. Thank you Sun-Jin for the wonderful stay! :)Emily and JasmineJuly 2015
Really good place to stay in Korea! We did not have a problem locating the place as Sun-Jin was clear with her instructions. Check-in was easy as the apartment door was only password-locked. Sun-Jin will give you the password prior to your arrival. Be sure to remind her. It is close to Sinnonhyeon station so going around Seoul was never a problem. The apartment looks ok to me and well-equipped with basic stuff. The building itself looks old though but completely forgivable as her apartment is really cozy. Lots of eateries/restaurants nearby and close to Gangnam shopping area. E-mart is few blocks away too. I suggest that you try the Korean BBQ restaurant downstairs. Their Samgyupsal (pork belly wrapped in lettuce) is superb! Overall, our entire stay was comfortable. I will definitely choose to stay here again. Thanks Sun-Jin for the hospitality and for letting us check out late. You were a great host!WilliamMarch 2015

Had a great experience here..the place is very convenient...few minutes walk to the sinnohyeon station and another few more to the gangnam station..lively and cheerful place at gangnam(: was initially quite difficult to find the place..but did so with very helpful Koreans we met there who brought us right to our door step(: the house is cozy and have almost everything we need. Owner was friendly, flexible and kind to allow us to check in and out anytime we like(:DESIREEDecember 2014
i stayed at wood house no.5 for 12days. i had difficulty finding the apartment at 1st but once found the location was very convenient. sun jin's husband came to the apartment the next morning to check i had checked in ok and explained the washing machine instructions to me. i requested for an iron & board & sun jin provided for me which was very useful for my long stay. the apartment was very comfortable & warm & had humidifier, electric blanket, shampoo, conditioner, and most things that i didnt need to buy which was very useful & cost saving. although the bathroom was a bit out (URL HIDDEN) was fine because everything else was good about it. the location was 5mins walk to subway & bus stops..and many eating places& cafes/ convenience stores very very nearby.even just downstairs at entrance there are 2 restaurants. i would definately stay at sun jins woodhse no.5 again or even try her other accom because i think will be similar in provisioning in the apartment.diana man linNovember 2015

The apartment was very convenient as there was a convenient store just below the apartment and it is a few steps away from gangnam underground shopping mall and subway station. Ben was very quick to reply all of my messages especially when i needed the address of the nearest hospital as my friend was sick and needed to consult a doctor. Overall, my stay was enjoyable.JoanneJune 2016
The palace is so good! Thanks Ben!yingdongJune 2016
My husband and I stayed in Ben's place for a week. It was exactly as pictured and described and all that we had expected it to be. The apartment was clean, tidy and simple yet perfect for all of our needs. Some may find it rather small (akin to a Korean officetel), but it is Seoul and Gangnam after all. We really appreciated the washer and the laundry detergent, the portable wifi, and the transport cards. Everything in the apartment was very well labeled and you cannot go wrong with his 30 page how-to guide. Ben was very quick to reply to all of my messages from booking to arrival. He was accommodating regarding my request to change to this specific apartment after I had booked another apartment of his in the same building(URL HIDDEN)would definitely stay here again.HannaApril 2016
The condo/officetel is JUST like you see in the images: clean, modern, small-ish space, but manageable for 2 people. Maybe even 3 if it's a family! Ben does a great job making sure you have everything you need while you're there. You are literally right off the Gangnam Station so it is VERY convenient. My boyfriend and I were very pleased and happy to stay there! We also got to squeeze in a couple loads of laundry since we had other places to travel to after South Korea. Everything is clean, modern, new-ish, stocked, and easy to access. Ben has everything labeled so it's easy to find everything you need. There's also a convenient store, coffee shop, restaurants and places to shop at right below you. If you've never been to Korea, this is a great central location! This condo has everything you need for a home! It has a bathroom that's fully loaded with shampoo, conditioner and body wash, abundant toilet paper, cups, plates, utensils, pots, pans, fridge, washer/dryer, drying rack for clothes, closet space, a desk, sofa, bed, broom, trash can, and more! It is perfect. :) I will have to say being new to Korea made it difficult to find the condo when we arrived. It looks like office buildings but the condo is there! Just ask around, see where the doors are to the condo and people will help. There's multiple ways to get to the elevators but you'll figure it out once you get in and familiarize yourself. Or you can print the images Ben has provided to see if you can find it when you get there. The wifi egg was nice to have as well. We actually got one of our own since we didn't know how much data was left on the egg when we got there. But we did use the egg 1x because our personal egg ran out of battery! You can get your own egg at Incheon International Airport - they're when you exit and you pay per day - about $6-8/day with unlimited data. We did this and thought it was better than wasting Ben's data for other guests! Everyone is so friendly around and people don't speak too much English but you can get by. Print brochures or simple sayings to ask questions and people will try to help! Ben was an awesome host and this was an awesome place to stay! :)HelenJune 2016
Ben provided us with the information needed such as directions to the apartment and also portable wifi 'egg' and t-money cards for transportation. He also answers emails almost immediately if you have any questions. The apartment is small, but comfortable and is in a really convenient location in Gangnam. (Less than a minute from Exit 1) The apartment is stocked with the basic necessities such as washing machine, stove and cooking utensils, tv, wifi, the list goes on and on. Overall I would return to stay if I were back in Seoul.Yih ShengApril 2016
This apartment is amazing - exactly as described it is 10 seconds from the Gangnam station. Ben is extremely nice and made sure that we were checked in safely and with no problems. We definitely want to stay here again.MelissaAugust 2015
The apartment was amazing. Very clean and just as described, with a great view of Seoul. The location really can't be beat - just steps away from shopping, food, and transport. Ben was very responsive and his check-in instructions were very easy to follow. Will definitely stay here again when I return to Seoul!MichelleJune 2016

Great experience! The building is very new (6 months), and everything was immaculately clean. The listing is for the top flight of the building, which includes 2 rooms and a bathroom. Jun and his wife were very welcoming hosts - flexible on check-in time, helpful and friendly, eager to explain building amenities/sow me the neighborhood, etc. The location is great if you want to explore true Seoul city life (especially night life) off the beaten tourist path. It is also close to Seoul National University. I highly recommend this building and this host.RyanMarch 2016
This house is located in nice area. I only walk about 10 minutes from sillim station. While I walked to the house, it has a lot of shops so it's good for shopper like my mom. My room on the fourth floor is very private area. Young Jun and Da Young are very kind. Thank you for warm welcome ,nice service and presents. If I have a chance, I will stay here again ^^Kukkii'June 2016
Great location - less than 10 minutes walk from Sillim station and easy access to major tour spots like Gamgnam and Hongdae. The guesthouse was on 4th level above the hosts' space. Guest's area has two bedrooms and a restroom w/ shower. I was expecting another guest since I only booked one bedroom, but they gave me the whole area so I had nice private space for my own during the stay. And the hosts were really nice and helpful. If I plan to comeback to Seoul area, I will definitely stay at this guesthouse again!Jung HoonMay 2016
Lovely apartment great location!! I stayed for 7night at yoyng's I'm so grateful to them. The house is very clean, pretty, cozy, in very easy way. The location is really convenient to shops, restaurants, bus stop, subway, even traditional market etc. Just 1-2min!! (Im not good at finding ways but I could). I visited the market to enjoy the local foods very often. Of course the Sinrim station is the major line to the city famous place. Dear. Young-Jun&Da-Young Kim You are probably the best Airbnb hosts! Im sure of that. Thank you for sharing your wonderful house and the special gift! :) Best Wishes. Madeline.MadelineJune 2016
Host is very nice, helpful. Room is good, clean and tidy. Living room and kitchen is a sharing space, it's well maintain and pleasant looking. However, it's quite a distance from the subway, u may need to walk for quite a while to reach the house. Overall, it's good.Kah ChunJune 2016
Highly reccomended! Hosts were very responsive to messages, they picked us up with their car so we didn't have to search for the house. We even got wellcome drinks and some sweets, wich was very toughtfull. They were very friendly, helpful and beautiful people. House is in a nice neigbourhood, it's new and clean. Metro station is near, there are many shops and restaurants few minutes from the house. Hosts helped us a lot with where to go and what to see in Seoul. They provided us a city map and a guide. All togeather a great experience! Great price for a great service :)KlaraJune 2016

Marc Faber's forecast hasn't changed over the course of the year. The editor and publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report is still calling for a steep correction in the stock market.
Commenting on the stock rally in March, Faber told CNBC, "I believe it will end badly this year," predicting the market would see a 20 percent correction, or worse.
As we approach the end of the third quarter, Faber affirmed his conviction, telling CNBC that the trouble has already begun.
Pointing to Indonesia, India and other markets, he explained, in dollar terms, some have already dropped over 30 percent in two months.
"So we have some big setbacks globally. Not yet in the U.S.," he admitted.
"But in the U.S, you look at housing stocks. The homebuilders, they're down 30 percent from their highs. Tells you something about this wonderful housing recovery."
At this point, Faber sees U.S. equities as a "better sell than a buy."
"In my view, we'll go back to the lows in November 2012 — around 1,343," in the S&P 500, he predicted.
Instead of stocks, Faber recommended considering Treasurys.
"I think the sentiment is incredibly bearish about Treasury bonds and Treasury notes," he said. If the market drops, "people will again fear deflation, and they will move into 10-year Treasury notes."
And one reason he foresees trouble now is due to his expectation that investors will feel similarly about U.S. stocks.
"When emerging markets go down and the S&P goes up, the asset allocators say, 'Do I want to buy the S&P near a high, or do I venture back into emerging economies that are down 50 percent from their highs, like India or Brazil and so forth?" Faber asked.
"So you understand that the pool of money can flow back into emerging markets," he said.
In addition, the United States is making the mistake of pushing for military action in Syria, he noted.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has warned!
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Wells Fargo's Gina Martin Adams will be correct and be the strategist of the year with the best estimate of 1,390 SPX. Even Tobias over at Citigroup expects a 20% correction.

Description by OLDIES.com:
This show was taped on October 19, 1958. The special guest stars and Dean Martin and Bing Crosby and includes Dean Martin's less than subtle commercial for his Hollywood restaurant whilst performing "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams." Also appearing are Mitzi Gaynor and a cameo by Jimmy Durante.
Product Description:
This nostalgia-inspiring episode of the Timex-sponsored variety show, hosted by Frank Sinatra, was taped in October 1958, and features guest stars Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, and Mitzi Gaynor. A cameo by Jimmy Durante completes the star power that's present here, featuring some of the most popular performers of the 20th century. The archive footage includes Martin's amusingly shameless promotion of his Hollywood restaurant, while Timex does its own promotion in commercials that appear quaint and charming today. The songs include a hilarious performance of "Together" (Sinatra, Crosby, and Martin), and Sinatra's "Angel Eyes," "The Lady Is a Tramp," and "High Hopes."

Engineer Dallas Goecker attends meetings, jokes with colleagues and roams the office building just like other employees at his company in Silicon Valley.
But Goecker isn't in California. He's more than 3700 kms away, working at home in Seymour, Indiana.
It's all made possible by the Beam - a mobile video-conferencing machine that he can drive around the Palo Alto offices and workshops of Suitable Technologies. The 5-foot-tall (1.52 metres) device, topped with a large video screen, gives him a physical presence that makes him and his colleagues feel like he's actually there.
"This gives you that casual interaction that you're used to at work," Goecker said, speaking on a Beam. "I'm sitting in my desk area with everybody else. I'm part of their conversations and their socialising."
Suitable Technologies, which makes the Beam, is now one of more than a dozen companies that sell so-called telepresence robots.
These remote-controlled machines are equipped with video cameras, speakers, microphones and wheels that allow users to see, hear, talk and "walk" in faraway locations.
More and more employees are working remotely, thanks to computers, smartphones, email, instant messaging and video-conferencing. But those technologies are no substitute for actually being in the office, where casual face-to-face conversations allow for easy collaboration and camaraderie.
Telepresence-robot makers are trying to bridge that gap with wheeled machines - controlled over wireless Internet connections - that give remote workers a physical presence in the workplace.
These robotic stand-ins are still a long way from going mainstream, with only a small number of organisations starting to use them. The machines can be expensive, difficult to navigate or even get stuck if they venture into areas with poor Internet connectivity. Stairs can be lethal, and non-techies might find them too strange to use regularly.
"There are still a lot of questions, but I think the potential is really great," said Pamela Hinds, co-director of Stanford University's Center on Work, Technology, & Organization. "I don't think face-to-face is going away, but the question is, how much face-to-face can be replaced by this technology?"
Technology watchers say these machines - sometimes called remote presence devices - could be used for many purposes. They could let managers inspect overseas factories, salespeople greet store customers, family members check on elderly relatives or art lovers tour foreign museums.
Some physicians are already seeing patients in remote hospitals with the RP-VITA robot co-developed by Santa-Barbara, California-based InTouch Health and iRobot, the Bedford, Massachusetts-based maker of the Roomba vacuum.
The global market for telepresence robots is projected to reach US$13 billion by 2017, said Philip Solis, research director for emerging technologies at ABI Research.
The robots have attracted the attention of Russian venture capitalist Dimitry Grishin, who runs a US$25 million fund that invests in early-stage robotics companies.
"It's difficult to predict how big it will be, but I definitely see a lot of opportunity," Grishin said. "Eventually it can be in each home and each office."
His Grishin Robotics fund recently invested US$250,000 in a startup called Double Robotics. The Sunnyvale, California,-company started selling a Segway-like device called the Double that holds an Apple iPad, which has a built-in video-conferencing system called FaceTime. The Double can be controlled remotely from an iPad or iPhone.
So far, Double Robotics has sold more than 800 units that cost US$1999 each, said co-founder Mark DeVidts.
The Beam got its start as a side project at Willow Garage, a robotics company in Menlo Park where Goecker worked as an engineer.
A few years ago, he moved back to his native Indiana to raise his family, but he found it difficult to collaborate with engineering colleagues using existing video-conferencing systems.
"I was struggling with really being part of the team," Goecker said. "They were doing all sorts of wonderful things with robotics. It was hard for me to participate."
So Goecker and his colleagues created their own telepresence robot. The result: the Beam and a new company to develop and market it.
At US$16,000 (NZ$18,147) each, the Beam isn't cheap.
But Suitable Technologies says it was designed with features that make "pilots" and "locals" feel the remote worker is physically in the room: powerful speakers, highly sensitive microphones and robust wireless connectivity.
The company began shipping Beams last month, mostly to tech companies with widely dispersed engineering teams, officials said.
"Being there in person is really complicated - commuting there, flying there, all the different ways people have to get there. Beam allows you to be there without all that hassle," said CEO Scott Hassan, beaming in from his office at Willow Garage in nearby Menlo Park.
Not surprisingly, Suitable Technologies has fully embraced the Beam as a workplace tool. On any given day, up to half of its 25 employees "beam" into work, with employees on Beams sitting next to their flesh-and-blood colleagues and even joining them for lunch in the cafeteria.
Software engineer Josh Faust beams in daily from Hawaii, where he moved to surf, and plans to spend the winter hitting the slopes in Lake Tahoe. He can't play pingpong or eat the free, catered lunches in Palo Alto, but he otherwise feels like he's part of the team.
"I'm trying to figure out where exactly I want to live. This allows me to do that without any of the instability of trying to find a different job," Faust said, speaking on a Beam from Kaanapali, Hawaii. "It's pretty amazing."

Odwalla, Nestle, Geico, Subaru Chip in for Parks Program
The "2009 20% For Parks" program has gained support from several big brand companies including Odwalla, Geico, Nestle Beverage, General Mills, Dasani, Subaru, and Sports Authority as part of their corporate social responsibility initiatives. The program is designed to help companies support state parks nationwide, while connecting consumers to their environmentally conscious brands.
Created by marketing firm, Government Solutions Group (GSG), based in Pasadena, California, the program has raised more than $4 million nationwide, and $2 million for California state parks over the past five years. Participating states include California, New York, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Michigan, Maryland and Virginia covering more than 1,200 state parks.
As part of the program, GSG will publish more than six million visitor guides, called the State Park Visitor Welcome Kit, which will be distributed at participating state parks this summer. Sponsors pay for the production and shipping of the State Park Welcome Kits and parks receive a 20 percent cut of net proceeds, plus the guides.
In addition to the visitor guides, the 20% For Parks brand develops corporate environmental sponsorships ranging from reforestation and solar projects to carbon sequestration or education programs. As examples, Odwalla supported its consumer tree-planting program through sampling at running, surfing and volleyball events at state parks, and the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Southern California sponsored the Reforest California campaign, a reforestation project that raised over $600,000 and 1 million trees for wildfire-scarred parklands in Southern California.

This is in case you wish to move on from a technician to working as being a full time pharmacist. The fraudsters only want your plastic card information to steal money. Those who want to save money when referring to their drugs are able to do so by ordering from the drugstore in Canada as opposed to one in the United States. They work much like other personal savings accounts. One just need to follow some simple steps to buy medicine out there pharmacies.
When a person comes up for the counter that is visible intoxicated by something, it can be quite a scary destination to be. Basically, you do not want to get the medicine with the same ingredients of other company the physician does not prescribe. Most pharmaceutical manufacturers offer online codes for their products and may provide savings as high as $50 per month for certain prescribed drugs. Patients with diabetes must stay in contact using their physicians and monitor their blood levels to be able to stabilize blood sugar. They are always looking for employees so when more of these businesses open through the entire united states, the greater pharmacy technician jobs become available.
In return, Jollibee Foundation was established in 2005, especially address the social responsibility from the company. One in the leading professionals inside health care division would function as pharmacy technicians. Some Big Pharmas even produce both generic and brand-name drugs. Volunteers were segregated in the under 65, 65 - 74, and 75+ age groups. Below can be a few key signals how the online pharmacy could possibly be a fraudulent organization.
Records from the New York State Cancer Registry (NYSCR); National Comprehensive Cancer Network; Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results Registry Linked Through Medicare Records; Cancer Care Outcomes Research And Surveillance Consortium; and NYSCR hyperlink to Medicaid were considered for analysis. In addition, the successful grad must invest in attending three seminars in Gainesville. I cry many tears for all those working at any pharmacy that has been robbed. These prescriptions I've listed are just a few from the prescriptions designed for far less at the pharmacy than your dog's vet's office. People can maintain his or her privacy when you purchase medicine out there pharmacies.
Do whatever you might be comfortable with plus your medicines will reach you within 7 to 10 days of the order being processed. Maps employed by different GPS items are of different types. The no-one secret I have learned as being a sales person is usually to always be prepared. The average salary for any PT will typically rely on a amount of different factors including location, education, certification and prior job experience as follows:. In 2004, the normal salary for pharmacy technician ranged from $7.

Streamlining Oracle 9i ETL With Pipelined Table Functions
I've recently been reading Bert Scalzo's "Oracle DBAs Guide To Data Warehousing And Star Schemas", and he's got an interesting take on the ETL process that I thought it worth looking at in more detail.
Bert was the DBA behind the 7-Eleven data warehouse, one of the first multi-terabyte dimensional data warehouses built on the Oracle database. The book is a bit different to other Oracle data warehousing books in that it concentrates on the implementation details of building a warehouse, and as it's not by an Oracle member of staff he tends to have forthright opinions on what elements of the technology stack work, and what don't. A particular example of this is where he looks at the various releases of the Oracle database (7, 8i and 9i) and explains in some detail why 7 and 8i don't really cut the mustard as large-scale data warehousing platforms. In another instance, he looks at the evolution of the star transformation, explains why the original implementations (which were first implemented using nested loops, and then after by cartesian joins) weren't up to scratch but then absolutely insists that you use the version that comes with Oracle 9i. As the author's not afraid to offer an opinion it's an entertaining read, and a bit different to your run of the mill 'new features' book.
One chapter that particularly interested me was his approach to loading the data warehouse. Right from the outset, Bert eschews the use of ETL tools, preferring instead to code the load routines manually. In his opinion, the trouble with ETL tools is:
- The code they produce is not optimally efficient, and often uses slow-running Java to host and run the processes
- The cost of the tools is often more than the hours they replace
- They allow the project to be staffed by people with little Oracle or data warehousing experience
This is a theme echoed in an Oracleworld paper by Arup Nanda that I looked at last year, which again rejected the use of ETL tools, but this time because the nature of the ETL (lots of small transformations to a large number of nearly identical tables) was better served by running a number of Unix shell scripts that in turn generated SQL scripts to a pattern. I'll come back to the ETL vs. hand coding debate later on in the article.
Anyway, the ETL process that the author wanted to carry out involved the following steps
- load data from a large flat file
- apply transformations to the data
- update/insert the data into a dimension table
What made this interesting was the fact that the file was very, very big, and the ETL window was small. Therefore, any ETL process had to
- Minimise inter-process wait states
- Maximise total concurrent CPU usage
To illustrate, take a situation where your ETL process starts with a file of 1000 records, and has two stages, each of which take an hour to run. The least efficient way to process this file is to let the first process handle all 1000 records (taking an hour to do so), then pass the data on to the second process, which will also take an hour to run. Your total run time is two hours. What the author is suggesting with 'minimise inter-process wait states' is that it would be good if your first process could handle for example 10 records, then pass these on to the second process so that it could start it's work. The first process can then get on with the next 10 records, and the pass them on when it's done. Your total run time would then be just a bit over one hour, cutting down dramatically the time to perform the load.
The 'maximise total concurrent CPU usage' requirement aims to take advantage of the ability for multi-processor servers to carry out more than one task at once. Oracle is very good at this, and has had this feature (known as parallelism) for many years. However, it only really comes in to play if you use DML statements (insert, update etc) to do your load; if you write your load in PL/SQL using cursors and loops to process your data row-by-row, you're not going to be able to take advantage of parallel DML. What these two requirements mean, therefore, is that your ideal ETL process is going to use parallel processing, and somehow reduce to the minimum the wait between different ETL stages.
Introducing External Tables
One of the key new features in Oracle 9i for business intelligence and data warehousing was the inclusion of a number of ETL features within the database, the point of which was to remove the requirement to purchase a separate ETL engine such as Informatica, Genio or Datastage. The approach proposed by the author uses these new features to shortcut the warehouse load process.
If you remember from earlier in the article, our load process had to carry out three steps:
- load data from a large flat file
- apply transformations to the data
- update/insert the data into a dimension table
Traditionally, you would accomplish this first step by using SQL*Loader. SQL*Loader allows you to import a flat file into the database, carry out basic transformations on it (change case, reformat, reject invalid rows), and if it helps speed up the process, load it in parallel using direct path. As you can only insert data using SQL*Loader, and the degree to which transformations can take place is limited, you'd generally load the data into a staging table and then process it in a second step.
Oracle 9i however introduced a new feature called External Tables, which allows you to define a database table over a flat file. Taking as our example a comma-separated contracts file that is used to load data into a contracts dimension, the code to create an external table would be:
create directory inp_dir as '/home/oracle/input_files'; create table contracts_file (contract_id number, descrip varchar2(50), init_val_loc_curr number, init_val_adj_amt number) organization external ( type oracle_loader default directory inp_dir access parameters ( fields terminated by ',' ) location ('contracts_file.csv') ) parallel 10;
The External Table feature allows you to embed the SQL*Loader control file into the table DLL script, and then allows you to run SELECT statements against the flat file. You can include the external table in joins, subqueries and so on, but you can't use the external table to delete or update data in the flat file. External tables came in with Oracle 9i, and they're available as data sources in recent versions of Oracle Warehouse Builder.
(Pipelined) Table Functions
Traditionally, once we'd loaded the flat file data into a staging table via a SQL*Loader script, the next stage would be to transform the data, either through a series of DML commands or by using a PL/SQL package. The transformation would have one or more stages, and the stages would run sequentially, one after the other.
Oracle 9i now gives us the opportunity to improve on this situation, by allowing us to create our transformations as functions - functions that take our external table as an input, and output the transformed data as rows as columns that can be used to update a table. These functions, known as Table Functions, can also be 'pipelined', which makes Oracle start returning rows from the function before processing has finished. By pipelining table functions, you can string a number of them together and have them 'pass off' rows to the next process as soon as a batch of rows are transformed, meeting our requirement to minimize our inter-process wait states. So how does this work in practice?
create or replace type rec_contract_type is object ( contract_id number, descrip varchar2(50), init_val_loc_curr number, init_val_adj_amt number ); /
create table contracts_dim
contract_id number,
descrip varchar2(50),
init_val_loc_curr number,
init_val_adj_amt number
create or replace type table_contract_type is table of rec_contract_type;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE transform_pkg
TYPE contract_cur IS REF CURSOR RETURN contracts_file%ROWTYPE;
FUNCTION go (contract_arg IN contract_cur)
RETURN table_contract_type
PARALLEL_ENABLE (PARTITION contract_arg BY ANY)
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY transform_pkg AS
FUNCTION go (contract_arg IN contract_cur)
RETURN table_contract_type
PARALLEL_ENABLE (PARTITION contract_arg BY ANY)
contract_rec_in rec_contract_type := rec_contract_type(null,null,null,null);
contract_rec_out rec_contract_type := rec_contract_type(null,null,null,null);
FETCH contract_arg INTO contract_rec_in.contract_id,contract_rec_in.descrip,
contract_rec_in.init_val_loc_curr, contract_rec_in.init_val_adj_amt;
exit when contract_arg%NOTFOUND;
contract_rec_out.contract_id := contract_rec_in.contract_id;
contract_rec_out.descrip := contract_rec_in.descrip;
contract_rec_out.init_val_loc_curr := contract_rec_in.init_val_loc_curr;
contract_rec_out.init_val_adj_amt :=
PIPE ROW (contract_rec_out);
end loop;
As the example shows, the function takes as it's argument a ref cursor which points to the data being fed into the transformation, and then sends as it's output another ref cursor that points to the set of transformed rows as processed by the function. The PIPELINED clause tells the function to return rows as soon as a PIPE ROW() command is used, which happens every time a row in the cursor is processed by the function. The function therefore takes as its input a pointer to the results of a SELECT statement, and spits out at the other end a pointer to the transformed version of these rows and columns.
The Merge Command
What we want to do now, is take the transformed data and use it to update our dimension table. In the past, we'd have accomplished this by a combination of INSERT and UPDATE statements, but with Oracle 9i we've now got the MERGE command which does this in one step. What's more, we can wrap up the whole transformation process into this one MERGE
alter session enable parallel dml;
MERGE /*+ parallel(contract_dim,10) append */
INTO contracts_dim d
USING (select * from table(
select /*+parallel(contracts_file,10) full(contracts_file)*/ *
from contracts_file)))) f
ON (d.contract_id = f.contract_id)
update set descrip = f.descrip,
init_val_loc_curr = f.init_val_loc_curr,
init_val_adj_amt = f.init_val_adj_amt
insert values ( f.contract_id,
So there we have it - our complex ETL function all contained within a single MERGE statement. No separate SQL*Loader phase, no staging tables, and all piped through and loaded in parallel.
Oracle Warehouse Builder
The good news for OWB users is that recent releases of OWB (9.0.4 upwards) support table functions as transformations in a mapping process.
The current version of OWB (10g Release 1) supports table functions that you've written and then import into the OWB repository, whilst the next release, codenamed 'Paris', will allow you to build the table function graphically within OWB. This support for table functions, together with the ability to fine tune the load parameters and take advantage of 9i ETL functions like MERGE and pipelining actually invalidate Bert's argument that ETL tools don't produce efficient, optimal code, although to be honest all of this is fairly new functionality and the book is a couple of years old now.
With the new ETL functionality in Oracle 9i and 10g, plus the support for this functionality in OWB 9i and 10g, there's really no need now to split every transformation into a series of staging tables and separate transformations. If you start to use features such as table functions, external tables, parallelism and pipelining, you can start to take advantage of the features Oracle have built into the database engine specifically for loading data warehouses.

Old-time TM contributor Ricardo dropped us a note this week with the above gem from CarDomain. Yes, that's a 1988 Oldsmobile Delta 88 (the one your mom probably owned), lovingly converted into a less pricey (and possibly more fuel-efficient) El Camino. Bonus: With the market for El Caminos driven out the roof by collectors, this probably cost a hell of a lot less.valium online no prescription

Awesome! The 88s were comfortable, fun to drive and deceptively fast. I miss the crap out of my black 1988 model. (It looked just like the one in Lethal Weapon.)
zoomzoomjeff says:
LOL. I once saw a similar white taurus pickup at a gas station one time. That was at a time before I had a camera phone.
Toolfreak says:
The market for El Caminos hasn't been driven out the roof that much. The people I've seen with El Caminos can't seem to sell them off, even for a few hundred bucks. May have to start buying those and selling them to collectors.
