NIDA Admits That Marijuana Has Medicinal Value
The United States government has surprisingly allowed one of its most prominent drug warriors to admit that, despite more than 40 years of pot propaganda, marijuana does actually possess medicinal qualities.
In a column published last week by the Huffington Post, Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, wrote that while many compounds of the cannabis plant are beginning to show evidence of a "range of uses in medicine," cannabidiol, otherwise referred to as CBD, "appears to be a safe drug with no addictive side effects."
Dr. Volkow went on to say, "the preliminary data suggest that it may have therapeutic value for a number of medical conditions," while THC's primary purpose appears to be simply to get users high.
Although it is discouraging to see the cannabinoids THC and CBD essentially separated into categories of good and evil, the federal government's latest admission is, ultimately, a giant leap forward in the realm of nationwide pot reform. Since the signing of the Controlled Substances Act in 1970, every single component of the cannabis plant has been considered a Schedule I dangerous drug with no medical value. This, of course, has stymied the scientific and medical community's ability to research the herb for many decades, as well as prevented farmers across the nation from engaging in hemp production.

What strain are you smoking on today?
Legal weed crossing state borders: No big deal?
Picture this: Come Oct. 1, you head down to Portland to buy a small amount of Oregon's newly legal recreational marijuana. It's a bit of a drive, but maybe you'll save a few bucks because of lower taxes there or you just want to give it a try. But, as you cross back over to Washington, you've suddenly broken one of the cardinal priorities set by the federal government to allow marijuana sales in the Northwest – carrying state-legal pot across the border.
So what now?
Well, according to authorities in both Portland and Vancouver, probably nothing. Now that two contiguous states have legalized recreational marijuana, consumers on both sides of the border may be tempted to view the region as a free-trade market.
According to Jeff McCarty, the Senior Deputy Prosecutor of Clark County, Vancouver law enforcement doesn't have a plan in place to crack down on marijuana entering and leaving the state.
"Nothing's going to change, as far as I know, involving local law enforcement," said McCarty regarding adjustments to account for Oregon's legalization. "There's not a mechanism in place where they can monitor or prevent people from bringing small amounts of marijuana over the bridge."

Northern Lights (Indica)
Northern Lights is renowned for its ability to be grown very easily. The strain's reputation also comes from the fact that it has won competitions such as the Cannabis Cup. The #5 strain was first entered into competition 1989 when several seeds were mailed from the U.S.A. to Amsterdam. The strain quickly dominated the Cannabis Cup, winning in 1989, 1998, and again in 2009. It is a cross of Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa.
Advocacy Group Launches The Truth About Medical Marijuana Educational Series
This morning Americans for Safe Access (ASA) launched the Truth About Medical Marijuana educational website and accompanying event series. The Truth About Medical Marijuana will focus on emerging issues in the area of medical marijuana, including understanding the research behind the medicine, emerging policies issues surrounding cannabidiol (CBD) and consumer safety issues. During each of the next three months, event hosts will focus on these issues and prepare attendees to share that information with politicians and key decision makers, as well as providing tools to counter misinformation in the media.
"With the majority of Americans living in states that allow at least some kind of medical marijuana it's time to move beyond rhetoric and headlines and foster a genuine understanding of this too often misunderstood medicine," said Steph Sherer ASA Executive Director. "With the Truth About Medical Marijuana, we're filling a void by giving people straightforward explanations of the science behind medical marijuana and explaining how medical marijuana relates to them and their families."
Medical marijuana policy has recently undergone a significant series of developments with the passage of several new state laws in a short period of time. In total, 40 states, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the District of Columbia allow some legal medical use of marijuana. However, many states have new highly restrictive laws that are not well understood. In other states, large scale commercialization of marijuana cultivation has created new consumer safety concerns that haven't been effectively addressed. ASA is kicking off the campaign with advocates hosting over 40 events in thirteen states.

Hash-Bar Remnants - Part 2
- Artists Deepchord
- Release Date 2011-09-26
- Labels Soma Records
- Catalog SOMA319D
Deepchord follows recent album release Hash Bar Loops and sell-out 12 inch Amsterdam Remnants, with even more luscious, flowing and atmospheric dub techno.
Hash Bar Remnants part 2 continues in similar vein, with controlled evolving elements, and a deep, troubling groove, built around towering soundscapes, warm chords and a rolling sub-bass .
Track 2 follows with a dynamic and taut cymbal attack, guiding the listener through distant, travelling synth lines. Both tracks tread a fine line between relaxed, restrained atmospheric dub, and upbeat and dancefloor orientated Techno.
Remnants 5 and 6 follow as digital only releases, and continue to stimulate the listeners ears. A heavy, penetrating low-end and static, repetitive textures are set against percussive elements which race from left to right across the aural field. The Night Air Remix adds a further dub feel to proceedings, losing the 4/4 kick, in favour of full off-beat production, while carrying the tense, profound and atmospheric melody present in the preceding tracks.
Rod Modell excels creating in ruminative, studied, and intense electronic music which we are delighted to give our full support to.

IT Security a Primary Concern for Businesses
Mobility-related applications and strategies are the biggest sticking points, with cloud also scoring high.Ninety percent of chief information officers (CIOs) and chief technology officers (CTOs) believe the job of keeping their enterprise protected is becoming more challenging, according to a survey of more than 1,600 enterprise IT decision makers (ITDMs) from network security specialist Fortinet. Among IT decision makers recording the highest boardroom pressure, 63 percent admit abandoning or delaying at least one new business initiative because of IT security concerns. When asked if they had been provided with sufficient human and financial resources for IT security in the last 12 months, four out of five ITDMs said yes. A total of 83 percent said they feel they will also have sufficient resources in the next 12 months.
Most industry sectors carried this trend, with public sector going from 74 to 77 percent and retail from 80 to 81 percent.

In the wake of increased competition in the commodities market, CME Group (NASDAQ:CME), one of the largest trade exchanges in the world, has revised trade timings for grain and oilseed options and futures from 17 hours a day to 21 hours a day, with effect from May 20, 2012. [1] We believe this move will lead to increased market volatility as traders were used to a two-hour delay between the morning U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) report and the commencement of trading hours. Now, without this delay, analysts and traders will have to work harder than before to process and analyze data on the go while trading. CME Group has seen its dominance in the grain market challenged by competitor IntercontinentalExchange (NYSE:ICE) which operates a 22-hour grain trade cycle. Other prominent exchanges in the U.S. are NYSE Euronext (NYSE:NYX) and Nasdaq OMX (NASDAQ:NDAQ).

- Increased Volatility In Derivatives Market Propels Trading Volumes For CME In December And 2016
- CME Year 2016 In Review: Impressive Year Despite Industry-wide Decline In Trading Volumes
- Massive Growth In Trading Volumes Across Most Product Line For CME In November
- Metals And Energy Derivatives Continue To Drive CME's Monthly Trading Volumes
With extended timings, we expect CME's commodity trade volumes to rise and the markets to become more volatile as the removal of the 2-hour buffer between the release of the USDA report and the opening bell of the market will result in increased speculation among traders.
To stave off completion from ICE, which launched its electronic platform for the trade of corn, soy and wheat futures on May 14, CME has also announced short-dated crop options on grain and oilseed futures which are likely to attract more customers, who seek to manage risk during the growing season at a low cost. [2]
Commodity and Metal Contracts account for 19% of our price estimate of CME's stock, and we forecast a bright future for the group in this division.
Expansion to Ward Off The Heat
Economic growth observed in Asia provides the perfect opportunity for CME to expand its business. The company saw a 10% rise in trade volumes across Asia and Europe in the first quarter of 2012. Its collaboration with the Bank of China as well as a stake in the Tokyo Commodity Exchange will drive the volumes, going forward. (see CME Group in Talks to Acquire a Stake in Tokyo Commodity Exchange)
CME is also one of the prime suitors for London Metal Exchange (LME) as NYSE Euronext dropped out of the race last week. The acquisition of LME would supplement the company's metal exchange, COMEX, and would help consolidate its position in Europe. We will be closely monitoring the situation as the deal folds out over the next few months.
We have a price estimate of $285 on CME Group's stock, about 10% above the current market price.

Chili Tropper, an advisor to Education Minister Shai Piron, said, Friday morning, that Rabbi Piron was feeling much better after spending the night at Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikva, where he was taken for tests and observation after complaining of chest pains en route from Poland, where he joined Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and four other ministers in dedicating the Israeli pavilion at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps. Tropper, who accompanied Piron to the hospital, said the minister began feeling the pains as the flight got closer to Israel.
There was no indication of heart attack. Rabbi Piron is expected to be released from the hospital on Friday.

Neil Young, OC OM is a Canadian singer-songwriter and musician. He began performing in a group covering Shadows instrumentals in Canada in 1960, before moving to California in 1966, where he co-founded the band Buffalo Springfield together with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay, and later joined Crosby, Stills & Nash in 1969. He released his first album in 1968 and has since forged a successful and acclaimed solo career, spanning over 45 years and 35 studio albums, with a continuous and uncompromising exploration of musical styles. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website describes Young as "one of rock and roll's greatest songwriters and performers". He was inducted into the Hall of Fame twice, first as a solo artist in 1995, and second as a member of Buffalo Springfield in 1997.
Young's music is characterized by his distinctive guitar work, deeply personal lyrics and characteristic alto or high tenor singing voice. Although he accompanies himself on several different instruments, including piano and harmonica, his idiosyncratic electric and acoustic guitar playing are the defining characteristics of a varyingly ragged and melodic sound.
While Young has experimented with differing music styles throughout a varied career, including electronic music, most of his best known work is either acoustic folk-rock and country rock or electric, amplified hard rock (most often in collaboration with the band Crazy Horse). Musical styles such as alternative rock and grunge also adopted elements from Young. His influence has caused some to dub him the "Godfather of Grunge".
Young has directed (or co-directed) a number of films using the pseudonym Bernard Shakey, including Journey Through the Past (1973), Rust Never Sleeps (1979), Human Highway (1982), Greendale (2003), and CSNY/Déjà Vu (2008). He has also contributed to the soundtracks of films including Philadelphia (1993) and Dead Man (1995).
Young is an environmentalist and outspoken advocate for the welfare of small farmers, having co-founded in 1985 the benefit concert Farm Aid. He is currently working on a documentary about electric car technology, tentatively titled LincVolt. The project involves his 1959 Lincoln Continental converted to hybrid technology as an environmentalist statement. In 1986, Young helped found The Bridge School, an educational organization for children with severe verbal and physical disabilities, and its annual supporting Bridge School Benefit concerts, together with his ex-wife Pegi Young (née Morton). Young has three children: sons Zeke (born during his relationship with actress Carrie Snodgress) and Ben, who were diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and daughter Amber Jean who, like Young, has epilepsy. Young lives on his ranch near La Honda, California. Although he has lived in northern California since the 1970s and sings as frequently about U.S. themes and subjects as he does about his native country, he has retained his Canadian citizenship. On July 14, 2006, Young was awarded the Order of Manitoba, and on December 30, 2009, was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.
Old Man
"Old Man" is a song written and performed by Neil Young on his 1972 album Harvest. "Old Man" was released as a single onReprise Records in the spring of 1972, and reached # 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for the week ending June 3.
The song was written for the caretaker of the Northern California Broken Arrow Ranch, which Young purchased for $350,000 in 1970. The song compares a young man's life to an old man's and shows that the young man has, to some extent, the same needs as the old one. James Taylor played six-string banjo (tuned like a guitar) and sang on the song, and Linda Ronstadt also contributed vocals. In the movie Heart of Gold, Young introduces the song as follows:
About that time when I wrote ("Heart of Gold"), and I was touring, I had also — just, you know, being a rich hippie for the first time — I had purchased a ranch, and I still live there today. And there was a couple living on it that were the caretakers, an old gentleman named Louis Avila and his wife Clara. And there was this old blue Jeep there, and Louis took me for a ride in this blue Jeep. He gets me up there on the top side of the place, and there's this lake up there that fed all the pastures, and he says, "Well, tell me, how does a young man like yourself have enough money to buy a place like this?" And I said, "Well, just lucky, Louie, just real lucky." And he said, "Well, that's the darndest thing I ever heard." And I wrote this song for him.
He tells a similar story when introducing the song at a February 23, 1971 performance broadcast by the BBC (in which he says that he purchased the ranch from "two lawyers").

Old Man – Neil Young
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.
Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Welcome to Illinois Wesleyan University's Net Price Calculator! We are very pleased you are interested in Illinois Wesleyan and look forward to assisting you in learning why Illinois Wesleyan is considered one of the top national liberal arts universities as well as one of the nation's "best values".
Using the net price calculator, you can find out your eligibility for financial aid and estimate your out-of-pocket expenses. Rather than shy away from applying to colleges that may seem to be out of your price range, results from the net price calculator will show you how affordable Illinois Wesleyan can be. It is intended for full-time, first-time domestic freshmen who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Even if you're not going to college in the near future, the net price calculator will still be helpful. Younger students and their parents can use this tool to learn about college costs and receive early financial aid information. You can create "what if" scenarios based on expected family income and anticipated expenses, and start to plan and save well before applying to college.
When you're ready to begin, you can sign in with your College Board user name and password or use the calculator as a guest. The advantage of signing in is that the information you enter will be saved in your account, so you can use it again and again to calculate your net price at other colleges of interest. Good luck!
How does it work? The calculator measures the financial strength of your family and uses other facts you provide to estimate the amount of grants, scholarships and other financial aid that is likely to be available to you. Your "net price" is the difference between that amount and the cost of attendance.
The calculator is designed to give you an early indication of how much and what types of financial aid you might qualify for if you were a college freshman attending school full-time in the academic year indicated. It is a tool which we hope will give you a clear picture of options and opportunities so you can make more informed decisions about your college choices.
What we want you to know about Illinois Wesleyan's calculator:
- This is not an application for admission or financial aid.
- This calculator only uses gpa to calculate any merit scholarships. Actual scholarships will consider gpa, standardized test scores, and other relevant information from your application for admissions. The standard scholarships range from $16,000 to $24,000.
- The results will only be as reliable as the data you provide.
- The net price calculator will only give you an estimate of your net price and need-based aid eligibility. The financial aid office has the final word on your financial aid award.
- This calculator is more accurate for wage earning families. Families who have business income will have a more thorough evaluation when a student is provided an actual financial aid proposal and after the Financial Aid Office has reviewed the tax returns and all schedules.
- This calculator is not designed as well for divorced parents as the Financial Aid Office may ask for more information about the non-custodial parent when a student is provided an actual financial aid proposal.
- This calculator is not designed for International Students who are eligible for merit-based scholarships only.
- You must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1 of the year you plan to attend college.
READY TO MOVE FORWARD? Sign in with your College Board user name and password, sign up for a College Board account, or enter as a guest.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Excellent breakfasts, allowed dogs at no extra charge. Room had access to garden so made it easy with dogs. Location was superb, peaceful, scenic and central. We had no hot water/heating on first day of stay, no discount offered for this or any real apology from management. No hot drinks provided other than at breakfast.
access to the restaurants on the beach front would be improved by a wooden walkway across the sand, a cheap and easy thing to do. Also the reliance of the hotel on external restaurants means that they have no control over quality, the local establishments do not offer the same quality as does the hotel. On a rainy day there is not enough room at breakfast for allcomers to sit.
Wonderful peaceful location just up off the beach. Nice garden and pool. Stunning beach and lovely walk along the coastal path. Restaurants close by.
very nice location,friendly staff,excellent parking,room nice but a bit small and cluttered.
location bathroom in need of renovation
Old fashioned style.Good Location
The peaceful nature of the environment where the hotel is located: close to the beach and excellent for summer period. 1. The room was too small and needed to be aired more often; it was stuffy. 2. The air-conditioner was not working well. 3. The hotel description mentioned a restaurant, but there was no restaurant in this hotel. There were however menus for restaurants in the surroundi g area about 10minutes drive from the hotel. 4. A car is absolutely necessary for staying in this hotel.
good location and facilities
Friendly staff, nice location,wi-fi We stayed in 2 types of room. The small rooms were tiny and the shower had no screen. The large rooms were only adequate. This hotel was more like a b+b rather than a hotel.
Excellent situation close to the beach, and in its own grounds with carparking.Room 20 was an excellent room
Hotel is on seafront, and has it's own car park. The view from the sea facing rooms must be quite spectacular, but unfortunately there was not one available for us. Compared to other hotels we stayed in, staff were not friendly. A request (when booking the room with booking.com) to make up a sofa bed was ignored.
The View. The Restaurant food and Drinks overpriced. Wifi not available in Room.Seating in Bar and Foyer very uncomfortable.No english spoken channels available for an International Hotel Chain.
The comfort of the room; the sea view; the wonderful food in the restaurant; the coffee/tea in room. Although the restaurant is excellent, the room service menu was very very limited. Also, the amenities such as shampoo/ soap/body cream changed by the day instead of enjoying it all every day.
The staff was very helpful and attentive. The restaurant was very good. Nice bar, too. I wish it were easier to walk into town for dinner at night. It's a little remote. But during the day the walk into town is lovely. It's a bit of a stretch to say I had an "ocean view." I actually had a "parking lot view" with a little bit of ocean/coastline. That was a little disappointing.
Every box was ticked.....superb place No complaints
The sea views and the location. The room was very spacious and well presented. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
Room with Seaview and balcony n/a
Just what we were wanting. Close to the sea, walking distance to centre & reasonable price.
The location was great- overlooks the oceon, but no busy road to spoil the view, as there is at almost all hotels in Royan. Our room also had a balcony,and we got a good deal. Spa pool is not part of the hotel, but is attatched and can be used by guests- fabby Not really a complaint but at the pool- be warned that you are expected to wear a daft hat, flip-flops, and proper cosie(no shorts for men). Restaurant has two sittings, 19h and 20h30, which is a bit naff, but food very good.
The rooms very comfortable, beds new and very good to sleep in and staff very friendly. The hot breakfast options were rather un-appetising.
location no evening meal
It was a same that the shower did not work and as we were there foronly one night it was not to important.
The reception staff were friendly, the hotel is accross the road from a lovely beach. Parking can be a problem if the hotel dosn't have enough space, there are car parks nearby but if the weather is good, it can be a problem parking. Room was very hot although the hotel does supply a fan.
Staff very helpfull and hotel sited in a good place underground garage only made for small cars
Our room was upgraded free of charge Our room leaked by the window and the carpet was wet. despite telling staff no one took any action.
Locality, easy to find. Basic room, poor television.
Everything, especially the hotel staff who were very helpful
Everything was just OK The furnishings in the bedroom were poor e.g. there were insufficient pillows and the curtains could not be opened/closed without standing on a chair - it was quite disappointing walking into the bedroom considering the cost of our stay
we had a big room at the front overlooking the beach
It's position and view - looking at the beach and sea - and the general ambience was just right for a relaxing break No
Excellent location right across the road from the beach. Friendly, helpful staff. Pleasant room with patio.
Very clean staff very helfull wonderfull location.Althouh i am dissapionted the owner thought my wife and i were trying to leave 2 days early without paying our bill when all we were doing was having a ride around the area on our Motorbike for a afternoon.But i would stay again at this hotel
Excellent views and convenency, ideal for family, and pensioners like ourselves enjoyed ourselves very much Hotel room and linen changed every morning many thanks to all the staff
Courtesy and polite helpfulness. Very clean. Bathroom a little old fashioned but fine. Beds bit too hard for my personal taste.
I liked the location, very close to the beach I missed the coffee and tea making facilities, which I used to have in hotels in the UK and our bed was little small, but on the other hand it was nice, clean and quiet hotel
very friendly staff, beautifully situated across the road from superb beach/ lovely views of the bay from the balcony. I only wish that we had more time to enjoy this hotel. the bathroom was very modern ad stylish with hot powerful shower. loads of space to store clothes etc. very nice soap and shampoo to give a sea side feel and sense of luxury.breakfast was delicious. all good!
Free internet and parking, location Noisy, very noisy. There is a road between the hotel and the beach and it is always busy. With no a/c you don't sleep either because it is too stuffy or too noisy.
Clean, nice rooms and en-suite. Friendly, relaxed. Good location on the beach. Excellent breakfast.
Location and courtesy excellent,good position,and close to the beach,private parking
Proximity to beach. Shower room though small was new and had a feel of luxury room was very small
The sea view. The location - plenty of nearby parking and restaurants; close to the ferry across the Gironde.. Nowhere to sit in the room apart from the bed.
Close to restaurants, shops , beach and swimming pool Rooms were not up to 3 star standard, due to the lack of space.
Good sea front location, easy to find. Lack of secure parking Somewhat impersonal. Breakfast is expensive.
friendly staff, situiation and view from room.good breakfast. smell of drains from toilet. cramped shower. lift only takes 3 when we were a party of 4 on 6th floor !
Staff were really good and were able to attend to our needs as required Very old decor with smell of old wet dogs (this hotel allows pets in all rooms we believe)
Central location. Really noisy. Not from outside, but from corridor noise. Really odd accoustics .Coach parties going to and from rooms early and late. Could also hear people using toilet in other bathrooms!
Central location,food at the hotel,quietness of the rooms, comfort and cleanliness of the rooms and the hotel, cheerful staff. Bathroom lighting is only average,bathroom handheld shower is not easy to use, power socket in bathroom did not work properly.
loved the mezzanine concept. very comfortable and with balcony. thoroughly recommend
Good location for our requirements
It was convenient for our golf weekend in royan and La Rochelle and offered good value for money
The mezzanine family room very airy and spacious and very clean. Setting truly delightful and proximity to beaches excellent. Reception staff very helpful and attentive. Breakfasts were good but expensive, especially at Euro 5.50 each for 2 children who don't each much, when paying Euro 11 per adult.
Although a basic hotel we were pleasantly surprised, it was clean, excellent location, wonderful staff, good breakfast and restaurant, in all excellent value and somewhere we will return without hesitation.
The staff were very freindly and gave very good service. the hotel is very clean and well maintained. It is in an excelent posotion just right to take advantage of the local amenities. The buffet breakfast was well presented with a good selection of hot and cold food.
the staff were very helpful and friendly directions to hotel could have been clearer
The hotel is fine. We stayed in the adjacent building which was fine as it has a big garden for the children to play in. The hotel itsel is a little formal for you children so we made use of the tables and charis in the garden to picnic instead of eating in the dining room. You need to walk about 1km to the nice beach / drive. Swimming pool was inside - little formal for young families
location, pounding waves which were wonderful, and were very helpful towards a good nights sleep short of staff
hotel was nice but dated, a little bit like faulty towes at times. no where for guest to sun bath nothing other than walking, no other bars etc.
Close to sea, very good breakfast. Very small room, bathroom & bed. No window, no airconditioning.
Noisy neighbours in room nextdoor. Thin walls, lack of sound deadening etc
Very good value. Duplex family room with sea view; breakfast on balcony. Superb!
Thin walls!!!
Freindly staff, good fresh breakfast, we were made to feel very welcome. The lift could be a little bigger, room for one small person or 2 cases!
The receptionist was very helpful even though we muddled through with my very poor french. The room was large and airy and I especially liked having a balcony with a view As we were travelling on a motorcycle parking was a bit of a problem as we had to keep checking it was okay parked away from the hotel.
Easy to find, Parking reasonably good. Clean room, fair breakfast and polite and friendly receptionist. None of any note
Hotel was well positioned. Good value for money.Close to amenities. Clean linen.Good breakfast. Nice public rooms. Shower was not enclosed.Noisy plumbing. No opening windows/air con.
Helpful approach of the lady running the hotel. Location of the room with a balcony overlooking the sea.. The shower was very small.
Accessibilty to town centre . Fans provided during hot weather which was very thoughful. Lack of Air conditioning.Room was small.Lack of Fire Detection system.
The terrace at the front to have drinks. lovely for a people watch
Good location next to beach,parking ,clean room very weak WI-FI and TV signal ,small parking
The staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was adequate and although only staying for 2 nights towels were changed and toileteries replenished On the booking form I thought all the rooms were the same price i.e. sea views and non sea view rooms.
Cleanliness and helpfulness of staff Needs a decoration uplift although spotlessly clean
Not dissapointed in any way. Liked the staff and their approach to guests. No tea/coffe facilities in the room but hey, it was a French hotel son no gripes.
Sea view. Was expensive for the facilities and size of the room. Photo showed a seaside view with what looked like a balcony however it was just a railing on the outside of the window.
hotel was beautifully decorated and very clean, with fabulous views, the owners were very helpful and friendly, everything felt new and fresh
We were in the hotel for 3 nights after the season of crowds of summer tourists with children. Our room did not have a view of the water but was sufficient for our needs of tranquility, location, and comfort. We enjoyed breakfast in the sunny room looking out on the water. Parking on the street was no problem any of the 3 nights as the area is not that crowded once summer tourists have left. We can't wait to go back for a second stay at this delightful hotel.
The hotel staff were excellent and could not do enough to help. The room was horrendous, it was tiny and at the back of the hotel, the hgotel was full so they could not move us. We decided to stay another night and transferred to a seaview room which was excellent.
An excellent location within walking distance of the centre of St Palais
Excellent position. Near town with lovely walks nearby. Apartment ideal for mature couple . Very claen with good facilities. Beds comfortable. Small garden with patio much appreciated as it was safe for the dog to roam. Car parking also private to apartment. Propieter very helpful.
Lovely people. Lovely Place. Very, very clean and well cared for. Pool is great. None
Very helpful owner - let us in even though reception said closed until 16:30, good location - clean - good location All minor points but - room quite small for price - suggest better to provide kettle rather than coffee percolator - toilet claustrophobic
We were unexpectedly allocated an apartment. Although we had not intended to cater for ourselves, we found the apartment to be very well equipped, right down to small supplies of filter papers for the coffee machine and washing-up liquid.The room was very comfortable and clean, the location is superb (very close to the sea), individual parking spaces are allocated, and the staff very welcoming and helpful. There is even a small covered swimming pool available. This hotel provided wonderful value for money. We were rather worried on arrival (ca. 19:00) to find the reception office unstaffed, and that there was no response to the bell provided. It turned out that the proprietress was in a house on the other side of the road. Luckily, a third party told us this, and went to fetch her. Maybe the hotel could arrange for the bell to sound remotely in that house as well as in the adjoining building. It also turned out that the hours announced when the reception office would be open were substantially shorter than the ones given in your own documentation. Please check with the hotel.
Great location for visiting the coast with good walks nearby.Safe off road parking. Swimming pool if you want to use it. Lovely compact room with all facilities for an extended stay, separate WC and shower which was hot and powerful. Very friendly helpful staff and a nice breakfast delivered to our room at a time to suit us!
Very clean and tidy Very friendly welcome and assistance Private parking & good breakfast Limited outside sitting area
Close to the beach, indoor pool (great for kids), even a little garden where kids could run around outside. Thought it was a bit expensive for the season and the simplicity of the accommodation.
Very clean, warm and cosy. Quiet. Would have liked a kettle, more towels only one small bath towel each. No hand towels.
We loved having a comfortable one-bedroom apartment, with a well equipped kitchen, two large balconies for sitting, eating out, and for drying laundry on the provided clothes drying rack. Management is friendly and efficient, and parking is off-street and free. It is convenient to the beaches. The bed, a standard double, was fairly comfortable, but was a bit small for someone over 6 feet tall.
next to the beach, air conditioning, No tea coffee in the room, small room; very old bedding,
great location, friendly staff
The receptionist was most pleasant and courteous - breakfast was excellent. Booking.com's system to change the date was not good so i had to telephone.
Location was great. Breakfast adequate but good. Cleanliness very good and overall value for money great! I suppose the only complaint would be that the colour scheme in the hotel could be brighter to reflect the sunny climate!!!
Was on family business:perfect middle class hotel w/ a very attentive & casual welcome, super well manage, total independence (night key). Very good & abundant bkfst. Relax but very professional service. Strong reco.; Nice decor, garden;
Clean stylish foyer, comfortable beds, clean rooms The en suite bathroom was small, which was fine for us but could be an issue for larger people
Excellent sea front location; friendly, helpful staff. The close proximity of smoking and non-smoking rooms meant communal areas and stairs etc smelt strongly of smoke.
Clean.Breakfast very good-value for money.Very nice reception-people.I Really liked the helpfullness of the reception people.Nice room non- fumeur.Parking facilities.I�d like to come again. The smoke from cigarets,from people staying in the lower floors,while opening my window to get some cooler air. Very unpleasant.Make your hotel a NON-fumeur!!= WonderfulPeople can smoke outside. Thank you.
The location was superb. The staff were excellent. Small hotel but comfortable and clean.
The location was excellent with a superb view from our room The bathroom was very small and badly laid out
Location excellent, overlooking beach, within yards of restaurants and brasseries; very pleasant and helpful staff; very, very good experience. Privacy between balconies somewhat lacking, but not a major concern.
The staff very helpful.The hotel was in a superb position & our room overlooked the beach & had a balcony. Quite a few stairs & no lift,possibly not for the elderly
Relaxing, but bedroom very small and my husband being 6ft 6, one had to stand on the bed to pass the other one, but noticed other roooms were slightly bigger Size of bedroom

Gear vs Gear 2 vs Gear Fit (for Galaxy S5)
So looking for some honest opinions here...
I love my S5.. And I love gizmo's and gadgets. After todays post about the Gear Fit, I started looking over the ones available and the prices.
I found just a plain old Gear for a good price... is the difference between the Gear and Gear 2 that big? I don't think I can justify that price for the Gear 2. The Fit is interesting, but I don't think I would use the health functionality as much as the rest of it.
Thoughts? Just looking for some advice, I'm sure any of these would go well with my S5. Anyone have any stories on these?

Corvids hold the key to saving the world's forests
Imagine you're a tree. Like every other organism on this planet, you've got two life goals. The first is to survive long enough to reproduce, and the second is to actually reproduce. Your aim is to cast out your seeds as far as possible so that your descendants will have room to grow. After all, if you just drop your seeds straight to the ground, your children's nascent root systems will compete with your own mature one and will have trouble surviving. The solution? Strike a bargain with an animal. You provide the food, and the animal provides the baby carriage to transport your precious cargo a safe distance away. According to a new study, some of the best animal couriers around are corvids, the family of birds that includes crows, ravens, rooks, jays, and magpies.
But the immobile tree makes a gamble: by making their seeds tasty and nutritious, birds are highly motivated to gather up as many as possible. Instead of scarfing them all up at once, they cache them and return later to feast. But even the cleverest western scrub jay or Clark's nutcracker won't quite remember where he or she hid every single seed. Some of those seeds will go un-eaten and, with luck, they will become new plants. Those plants will grow to become trees which will provide food for the corvids' own descendants. The two sets of organisms have come to rely on each other. That's why corvids are so integral to maintaining forested ecosystems.
The better we can understand the relationship between these brainy birds and the trees they rely on for food, argues University of Nebraska-Lincoln biologist Mario B. Pesendorfer in the journal The Condor, the better we can rely on that relationship when it comes to restoring and preserving those ecosystems.
Take the jays of North America. Florida scrub jays, western scrub jays, and island scrub jays can cache between 5,000 and 6,000 acorns during a good year. Oak forests depend on those years for their continued survival. When researchers compared acorns that had merely fallen to the ground and rolled away and those that had been cached by jays, it was the cached acorns that were more likely to become saplings. Caching is even more important following a forest fire; hidden acorns remain likely to sprout through the burned soil, while those resting above ground would burn right up.
And a study of blue jays found that a single population cached more than 130,000 acorns from just 11 oak trees one year. More than nine of every ten of those acorns were cached in habitats suitable for new oak trees. Some blue jays will even transport those acorns up to four kilometers away, allowing the oak ecosystem to expand.
Or take the nutcrackers of Europe. They spend most of the fall months collecting and hoarding seeds from pine trees. They can transport up to 150 pine seeds at a time in a special pouch in their throats and have been known to fly up to 32 kilometers away before hiding them in small caches of between one and 15 seeds. And because those seeds come from a variety of individual trees, the forests that emerge after they grow are genetically diverse. North American nutcrackers are also responsible for maintaining healthy, genetically diverse populations of trees such as the ponderosa pines that tower over the Rocky Mountains. As climate change alters the birds' habitats, their caching efforts allow the trees they rely on to migrate. In other words, the nutcrackers facilitate the trees' climate-change adaptations.
Healthy, diverse oak and pine stands, in turn, provide important resources for a host of other plant and animal species. They provide food and shelter for vertebrates of just about every taxon, as well as millions of invertebrates. They alter the chemistry of soil to facilitate the growth of other plants. They help watersheds their water.
Meanwhile, humans continue to degrade oak and pine ecosystems. The reasons for that damage are diverse: unnatural fire management protocols, for example, or overbrowsing by ungulates, or the introduction of invasive species. "Long-distance seed dispersal and subsequent ecosystem engineering processes could be crucial to the ability of oak and pine ecosystems to respond accordingly," write the researchers. By ensuring the health of corvid populations, conservationists can in turn ensure the health of whole ecosystems.
In Germany, foresters keep jays on the payroll. Old oaks that provide an abundance of acorns are preserved, while young oaks from elsewhere in the forest are harvested. If seed availability is low in a given year, foresters provide the jays with baskets of acorns and allow nature to take its course. This program allowed jays to contribute to the growth of between 2,000 and 4,000 trees per hectare. Other research has shown that by protecting the jays, forested lands become more profitable.
And in Sweden, the work of Eurasian jays in urban habitats means that humans do not have to be paid to plant acorns. At $2 per acorn, the birds saved $9,400 per hectare each year. Those funds could then be reallocated towards other conservation efforts. Several Mediterranean islands have employed a similar scheme to economically reforest abandoned agricultural fields.
Possibilities for taking advantage of corvid scatter-hoarders clearly abound. Pesendorfer and his colleagues argue that if biologists can better understand the circumstances in which the birds can most efficiently and effectively transport and cache their bounty, conservationists can in turn leverage that information to enhance forest conservation efforts. This would "provide a promising way forward in modern, cost-effective conservation," they say. – Jason G. Goldman | 24 February 2016

…/…. like any food crop farmers ever did (some of the harvest to eat, some to sow)?
My intuition is that life can't be based on stupidity… how such an old civilisation can be?

The first part of this comment was pining out this sentence of the text :
"But even the cleverest western scrub jay or Clark's nutcracker won't quite remember where he or she hid every single seed."
I think this is a postulate stating that non human action can never be seen as action but only as stupid behavior, luck or anything else but not action.
In this text, even the tree have a strategy but the corvid have only a stupidity.
Something is fundamentally wrong in how the writer sees the environment.
Getald Urquhart February 25, 2016 at 6:37 am
Corvids are highly insignificant in Neotropical forests, so to claim they will save the world's forests is very Northern-centric. Yes, they are very important in temperate and boreal forests of the northern hemisphere. Yet those are hardly the most imperiled forests on earth.
Abbie O'Gallagher February 27, 2016 at 9:19 am
"… by making their seeds tasty and nutritious, birds are highly motivated to gather up as many as possible."
Birds don't have seeds.
This is a great article, but I just have to complain about this kind of grammatical mistake. Maybe rewrite this as:
…by making their seeds tasty and nutritious, birds are highly motivated to gather up as many as possible. trees motivate birds…
Thanks! And always remember "We saw many lakes flying over Wisconsin."
Abbie O'Gallagher February 27, 2016 at 9:21 am
Ooops! I screwed up. Let's try that again.
Maybe rewrite as:
…by making their seeds tasty and nutritious. trees motivate birds…
Diane Livia March 1, 2016 at 9:48 am
There's more than Northern-centrism and picky grammatical errors wrong with this article. In North America, the corvids do not naturally inhabit much of the old-growth forests. They primarily inhabit open woodlands and forest edges. With human intervention in the forms of roads, trails, trash, etc., corvids have greatly increased access along these "edges" and, using it, decimate native bird populations. While they are hiding and forgetting seeds, they are also preying on eggs and nestlings, contributing to the decrease of overall biodiversity of forests. This adverse effect is so marked, that minor development of various sorts is sometimes denied permitting due to it. So, you might be able to make the case that corvids maintain tree biodiversity, but the cost is very high. Let's think of biodiversity as overarching all life forms and ecosystems — not one at a time.

Create video website using VPS and FTP?
- Status Closed
- Budget £20 - £250 GBP
- Total Bids 25
Project Description
I am looking to create a website (or similar), but know next to nothing about programming. I have a subscription to a VPS service called Dreamhost, and have set up a domain and will use an FTP to add files to it. This site will be private (not for any public use), but the files may be shared out (if possible I would like to password protect them). I have the FTP software and have added a test video to the site, but when you visit the site it just appears as the straight forward FTP page. Ideally I would like a standard looking website that I can simply add photos, videos and some documents to, that can then be streamed by myself when I visit the site.
If you have any better ideas on how to do this I would be very grateful to hear them (simple talk please). The site can be very simple, I just need it set up, then I can upload the files from my laptop (Macbook Pro). I was going to use a VPS because there will eventually be a very large number of files, many of which could be around 2GB or more in size.
For someone that knows what they are doing, this will only take about an hour or two to set up, but I am struggling. If you can help, or have any better suggestions I will be all ears.

Madson relieved about clean MRI, but lowers expectations
An MRI of Ryan Madson's surgically repaired right elbow showed only inflamation, which was a relief to the pitcher. However, the Angels are still going to take things slowly with Madson, and he won't even be re-evaluated to resume throwing until next week.
That means that opening day, which was questionable before this delay, is even less likely now.
Madson, who admitted he was pushing to make the April 1 opener, said now that pressure is off.
"That's what I was going for and maybe it got me in a little bit of trouble," Madson said Wednesday morning. "Now I don't have a set date in mind. I'm going to let my arm guide me."
Even if Madson is cleared to throw as soon as Monday, he'd still have gone at least 17 days since his last bullpen session on Feb. 1. That's when he started to feel some discomfort in his elbow.
Madson underwent the MRI on Tuesday afternoon as a precaution to make sure he hadn't suffered a serious setback, so he was "excited" at the clean report.
"There is always concern anytime you are dealing with human flesh," Madson said. "You are not a machine. It's one of those things where there's peace of mind. I had a good day yesterday."
In the meantime, the Angels will plan, as they have all along, to begin the season without Madson.
"This thing is going to go at its own pace and we're going to let it go at its own pace," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "It's not out of the realm of possibility (he could be ready) opening day, but but we need to read the next couple weeks to see how Ryan progresses before we make any determination."

As Stuart Miller wrote in the Times yesterday, all the talk about high strikes not being called strikes is far from new:
- The complaint about high strikes dates back decades. In 1987, Peter Gammons wrote in Sports Illustrated that calling those long-lost high strikes would speed up ballgames. He quoted Pete Rose saying, "The major reason that games are so long and boring today is the strike zones are so damned small."
Over all, today's games feature about 27 more pitches than in 1988 (the oldest official pitch counts), equal to nearly an extra full inning of play — although stronger players, smaller ball fields and tighter baseballs also give pitchers more incentive to work around the strike zone. Commissioner Bud Selig, however, has repeatedly said his concern was less with the average time of the game than with the pace of the game. Because a committee is contemplating these issues, Selig would not comment; neither would Mike Port, Major League Baseball's vice president for umpiring.
If the high strike were called, pitchers — especially power pitchers — would nibble less, countering a generation of hitters focused on running deep counts. Batters would have to swing more often, speeding up the game and presumably putting more balls in play because working deep counts yields more walks but also more strikeouts.
From John Walsh's Hardball Times piece last spring, we learned that umpires miss more low strikes than high strikes. This should not be surprising. If we assume that umpires do want to call the rule-book strike zone -- and I believe that most of them do -- we would expect more accuracy on the pitches they can see better ... and they can see the high pitches better than the low pitches.
One thing I've noticed about suggestions like this -- Jim Evans and Bill James have both advocated a wider home plate -- is that they emphasize the benefits while (generally) ignoring the Law of Unintended Consequences. Would a high strike zone mean faster games? Maybe. But it might just mean higher nibbling. It seems to me that whatever you do with the strike zone (or home plate), pitchers are going to try to avoid it.
Which doesn't mean Major League Baseball shouldn't always be tinkering around on the margins, or at least thinking about tinkering. But the goal should be a palatable balance between hitting and defense. And I find the current balance perfectly palatable.
