New Living Wage Benchmarks Point the Way Forward
Three reports published today set new living wage benchmarks for rural South Africa, Dominican Republic and Malawi.
The reports, commissioned by Fairtrade International (Western Cape, South Africa), Fairtrade and Social Accountability International (Dominican Republic), and Fairtrade, Sustainable Agriculture Network/Rainforest Alliance and UTZ Certified (Malawi) have been prepared by international experts Richard and Martha Anker[1] pioneering a new living wage methodology. The methodology is a major step forward in measuring living wage and can be used in any country for either rural or urban areas.
The reports document worker needs in a detailed yet simple, transparent way that everyone can understand. The reports clearly indicate the cost of a basic but decent standard of living for workers and their families. They also compare living wage estimates with current wages and include innovative ways to estimate fair and reasonable values for in-kind benefits.
Workers and employers in all three countries participated in the process to set the living wage benchmarks, and have given predominantly very positive feedback on the findings. With project co-ordination from our office in Bonn and together with local teams, the Ankers investigated the actual costs of workers on South African wine grape farms, Dominican Republic banana farms, and Malawi tea farms. We are also grateful for the support which field staff of Ethical Tea Partnership and Oxfam provided during the study in Malawi.
The teams visited markets where workers shop for food, visited workers homes, had discussions with workers as well as small farm owners, cooperative officers, plantation managers and owners, municipal officials, trade union members, university professors, architects and others. They also used many papers, reports and statistics from researchers, government agencies, and international organizations.[2]
The living wage for the wine grape growing region of Western Cape in South Africa was calculated to be ZAR 2385 per month (US$230) for permanent workers who receive free housing, free transportation to town each week as well as a 13th month bonus. For seasonal workers, it was ZAR 3122 per month (US$302).
In rural Dominican Republic the estimated living wage is DOP 11,966 per month (US$277) on farms that provide free transport, breakfast and lunch, or DOP 13,869 (US$319) per month without in-kind benefits.
In Malawi the living wage is K32,392 per month (US$75) when workers receive common in-kind benefits including lunch on workdays, health clinic, school building and crèche, and recreational services, or K35,222 per month (US$82) when no in-kind benefits are provided.
In all three countries the current national minimum wage falls short of the living wage estimates. In South Africa the gap is moderate for permanent workers (5%) but large for seasonal workers. In Dominican Republic and Malawi, the difference is substantial for all workers.
"These reports show us just how much work lies ahead. Finally we have clear numbers on what is a living wage, and the gap we must work towards closing," said Wilbert Flinterman, Fairtrade International's Senior Advisor on Workers' Rights and Trade Union Relations.
The revised Fairtrade Standard for Hired Labour, which comes into effect in June, will require employers to negotiate with workers' representatives on wages and make annual increases on real wages towards the living wage. It also opens the possibility for workers to spend up to 20% of the Fairtrade Premium as a bonus payment if they choose.
"All organizations involved in the research agree that there is no magic solution to quickly fix the low wage levels in developing countries that supply agricultural commodities to global markets," stressed Flinterman. "Instead, we are strongly committed to fighting the causes of poverty among workers with a combination of our own interventions plus collaboration with other certifiers, NGOs and multi-stakeholder platforms, local employers, unions, buyers of agricultural commodities and retailers."
Fairtrade has committed to seeking solutions for low wages together with other voluntary standards organizations in the ISEAL network.
In addition to the South Africa, Dominican Republic and Malawi studies, Fairtrade International has co-funded a living wage study with SAN/Rainforest Alliance and UTZ Certified for Kenya based on workers' costs on flower plantations. This study is due to be published shortly.
Following this, Fairtrade International will work with partners to develop plans for moving toward living wage levels in all regions around the world where we have Fairtrade certified plantations and hired labour set-ups.

Construction Updates
Summer 2012
From Robert G. Sheeley
Associate Vice President for Capital Budgeting & Facilities Operations
Welcome back for the start of the Fall 2012 Semester. Hope you had an enjoyable summer.
We have been busy this summer completing projects we are directly over-seeing and working with the Department of Construction Services (former Department of Public Works) on projects they are administering. Needless to say, we have been busy.
The following is a list of projects that we have been working on and their current status.
Renovation to Buley Library: Probably the biggest issue on everyone's mind is "what is going on with Buley Library". I am happy to report that the project is moving once again as evidenced by the demolition that has taken place over the summer. We are 95% complete with the demolition. Still some work to be done in the lower levels of the building with a demolition completion date of September 28th.
While demolition was taking place we were busy reviewing construction documents for the renovation of the old building. As you can see the only thing remaining of the old building is the steel skeleton of the building. The renovation will include basically a whole new building:
windows, exterior brick walls, new mechanical and electrical system, etc. If we stay on schedule construction should start in December 2012 or early January 2013. Construction should take approximately 18 to 20 months with a projected completion date of September 2014. Currently we are looking at tenting and scaffolding the entire building to possibly shorten the construction schedule and protect the building.
In the meantime we have been reviewing over 200 drawings and well over 500 pages of written specifications for the renovations. Reviews have also been conducted by the Office of the State Fire Marshal and the Office of the State Building Inspector. Meetings were held throughout the summer to review comments from all parties as they relate to fire and building codes and sustainability initiatives of the University. Drawings and written specifications were revised to reflect necessary changes. Cost estimates for construction are currently under review and are over budget. Cost cutting measures are being developed for consideration. Bids are scheduled for release early October 2012.
New Academic/Science Building: Design has been completed and final construction documents are 90% complete. Review of drawings and specifications by the Office of the State Fire Marshal, the Office of State Building Inspector and Facilities were completed over the summer. Cost estimates are currently under review and bid documents are scheduled to be released the end of September, 2012. Construction is scheduled to start in December, 2012.
Construction is estimated to be completed in the Fall of 2014.
Also during the summer we met with the Department of Transportation and all utility companies on site for authorization to move utility poles and underground utilities across Fitch Street to the west side of the roadway. Requests have been approved and relocation will take place this Fall.
1200-Car Parking Garage: Project has progressed well over the summer. We are on schedule for completion and the garage will be opened for use in January 2013. We have included four charging stations for electric vehicles and planned for additional stations as the demand dictates.
Renovations to University Police Dispatch Center: Project includes the renovation of the first floor Police Dispatch Center and basement locker room areas in Granoff Hall. Police operations were temporarily moved to Facilities and TE-7 over the summer and we have scheduled the move back to Granoff Hall for mid-September.
School of Business: The building was turned over to the University in May of this year and we moved faculty and staff into their new home in June of 2012. We have been working with Dean Durnin, faculty and staff over the summer to work out initial operational problems and complete the installation of building audio visual equipment. A ribbon cutting ceremony will be hosted by President Papazian and Dean Durnin on September 21st, 2012 at 1:00 pm.
Mechanical & Electrical Upgrades to Jennings Hall: This multi phase project that began in the winter of 2011 is now 95% complete. The project included the removal and replacement of floors, ceilings, some doors and painting on all floors; the demolition and replacement of 8 air handling units located in the penthouse mechanical room; the removal of the existing 300 ton air conditioning unit and replacement of same; the installation of new fire alarm and mechanical control systems; and the replacement of the building emergency generator.
Commissioning of the building is under way and building deficiencies associated with the project are being identified and scheduled for correction in September of 2012.
Mechanical & Electrical Upgrades to Earl Hall: This also was a multi phase project that was scheduled for completion on August 17th. Unfortunately the contractor did not meet the completion date and much of the work done is not complete. The contractor has a list of items that need attention and now will have to do the work between 10:00 pm and 7:00 am beginning August 29th, 2012.
Work covered by this contract involved the installation of central air conditioning, a new fire alarm system, renovations to bathrooms and stairways, installation of new glazed curtain wall at the front entrance to the building, installation of new local mechanical equipment in classrooms and offices, installation of new digital automatic building control system and the installation of a new building emergency generator. Building commissioning to validate that all system are working as designed has yet to begin. This is very disappointing to all of us involved.
I want to thank faculty and staff in the building for their cooperation throughout this project. Construction has been very disruptive and yet everyone has been most understanding and cooperative. This is a very difficult project since the building was built in 1963 and there was no room above ceilings to install the new mechanical systems (piping, control valves etc.). Everything possible was done to minimize the impact of the piping in rooms throughout the building. It will take a little time to work out all the kinks with the new systems but we will get it done.
North Campus Parking Lot Repaving: Project started immediately after the conclusion of the Connecticut Special Olympics in June. Old blacktop was reclaimed, new granite curbing installed along with new lighting, paving (380 spaces) and sidewalk repair. Project was completed on time and on budget with only minor site work left to be done.
Moore Field House Locker Room Renovations, Phase II: Project was completed over the summer. Former general locker room space was converted into men's football locker room and individual team locker rooms for men's soccer, basketball and track. Recreational locker room space was also created along with a team conference room and storage space.
Wintergreen Building Space Re-allocation Study: Project was started late Spring 2012 with the hiring of a consultant. Meetings were held throughout the summer months with representative of all Departments to collect data regarding space needs, the development of adjacencies and employee/work/student circulation flows to improve the overall functionality of the facility. Three Space Plans are being developed for consideration and will be presented to the Wintergreen Space Planning Committee in the near future. Plans will include proposed floor plans and cost estimate for any demolition and construction for budgetary planning purposes.
Co-Generation: Last year we completed and engineering evaluation for the installation of a Fuel Cell and developed and advertised for proposals to install a Fuel Cell at SCSU. After evaluating bids it was determined that the responses did not meet our economic performance criteria and therefore we rejected the bids.
However, based on data from the fuel cell assessment, we believe a co-generation system would lower operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions and therefore might very well be a good investment and warrants further study. We have submitted a request to the Department of Construction Services for a consultant to work with us to further investigate co-generation at the University.
Summer 2011
Southern Connecticut State University's Associate Vice President for Capital Budgeting & Facilities Operations Robert G. Sheeley provides the following update on campus construction:
The following is a list of projects that will be starting this summer, many of which will be completed before the beginning of the Fall 2011 Semester:
Renovation of the Old Student Center for Our New School of Business: We have been waiting over 2 years for funding for this project and thanks to the persistence of Interim President Battle we received the Bonding we needed this past Spring. The Construction contract has been issued to Nosal Builders and the contractor began to mobilize the week of May 9, 2011. The project provides for the renovation of the front portion of the building, which is 22,973 square feet. Spaces will be renovated to accommodate the departments of Masters of Business Administration, Accounting, Economics and Finance, Management and Marketing. The renovated space will include faculty offices, computer labs, classrooms and conference/seminar rooms. The project will also include an elevator, new lighting, ceiling systems and floor finishes. A four pipe heating and cooling system will be provided utilizing a remote chiller, connections to the University's high temperature hot water system and perimeter radiation system for supplemental heating. The front faτade will be demolished, with a new curtain wall and brick veneer faτade installed. The project will take approximately 12 to 15 months to complete and will be a LEED Silver Certified project.
Mechanical & Electrical Upgrades to Jennings Hall: This is a multi-phase project that began during intersession this past winter with the removal and replacement of floor tiles on all floors of the building. The over-all project includes renovations to bathrooms and stairways; replacement of hallway floors, doors, ceilings and painting of same; the demolition and replacement of 8 air handling units located in the penthouse mechanical room; the removal of the existing 300 ton chiller and installation of a new model for air conditioning in the basement mechanical room; the removal of the existing, and installation of a new, emergency generator in the basement generator room; the installation and extension of a new direct automatic controls system; and the installation of a new fire alarm system. Phase II of the project will take place this summer and additional phases will occur throughout the winter and into next summer.
Mechanical & Electrical Upgrades to Earl Hall: This also is a multi-phase project that will start this summer and continue through next summer. The project includes renovation to bathrooms and stairways; the removal of the existing and installation of a new glazed curtain wall at the front of the building; demolition, removal and replacement of all building mechanical equipment in the basement mechanical room; installation of new local mechanical equipment in classrooms and offices; installation of new direct digital automatic controls system; installation of two air cooled chillers for all building air conditioning and a new building emergency generator; and the installation of a new fire alarm system. The Music/Communications part of the building will be done this summer.
Renovations to Farnham Hall: Phase I of this project, renovations to the building bathrooms/showers, were completed in the summer of 2009. The balance of the work has been going on all winter and will be completed in August, 2011. The work on the building includes the replacement of the exterior faτade of the building; renovations of the front patio and addition of a rear plaza with landscaping; renovations of approximately 4,000 square feet in the basement to event space with bathroom facilities and food service area; and the 8,000 square-foot renovation of the first floor including lobby, lounge, game room, computer lab, bike storage and residence apartments.
Replacement of Synthetic Surface at Jess Dow Field: The synthetic surface at Jess Dow Field is over 11 years old and has outlived its life expectancy by some 3 years. The current surface is splitting at the seams, has a worn down, uneven playing surface and in some areas has become a hazard. The replacement of the surface requires the removal and legal disposal of the existing carpet, base layer material and in-fill rubber. The new surface will be installed by on or before August 17, 2011.
Brownell Hall Roof Replacement and Installation of Solar Panels: The current roof at Brownell Hall is 27 years old and will be replaced this summer. The project also involves the installation of over 150 solar voltaic panels on the roof to offset some of the electrical operating cost of the facility. Project scheduled for completion on or before August 19, 2011.
Phase II Locker Room Renovations at Moore Field House: Project will begin this summer and will involve the complete gutting of the women's general locker, shower and bathroom areas and the conversion of the space to the men's football locker room, shower and bathroom facilities and individual team locker rooms for men's soccer, basketball and track. Also included will be a small recreational locker room space. Other elements included are a team conference room and storage room. Project completion is scheduled for winter of 2011-12.
Replacement of Roof and Exterior Repairs to the Admissions Building: Project involves the replacement of the sloped slate roof on the main building; the replacement of a flat bituminous roof and carpentry repairs to the exterior rear porch, siding and wood trim. The main house is on the register of historic places and all work has been approved by the Connecticut Historic Commission. Work is scheduled for completion by the end of August, 2011.
Creation of Disaster Recovery Center at the Michael J. Adanti Student Center: The project will meet two current concerns for backing up computer services in the event of a natural disaster or other such emergency rendering the University's Primary Data Center inoperable for a period of time. First this DR Data Center will insure that SCSU will be able to maintain basic functionality for students, faculty and staff. Second, as part of a mutual Disaster Recovery Plan with Western Connecticut State University, we will be providing rack space for WCSU and WCSU will in turn provide similar rack space for SCSU at their location in Danbury. Project is scheduled for completion late summer of early fall of 2011.
Connecticut Hall Elevator Upgrades: Project involves the mechanical repairs to both the service and passenger elevators. In addition ,cab renovations to the passenger elevator will be made. Scheduled completion date of August, 2011. This project may have to be postponed until intersession 2011-12 if parts don't arrive on time.
Cleaning and Protective Painting of Bleachers at Jess Dow Field: In the Fall of 2011 the University had a structural engineer evaluate the condition of the bleachers and make recommendation for future maintenance. The evaluation concluded that the bleachers were in good condition after 20 years and recommended that the steel structure be cleaned of surface rust and painted to prevent further rusting. This project is labor intensive and will take all summer to complete. The project has been bid and awarded and will start on or before June 1, 2011.
Construction of 1,200- Car Garage in Lot 7: This project has been bid and is awaiting contract award. Funds will become available in mid-June and the contract will be awarded. We will be working with the contractor to construct temporary parking facilities next to Seabury this summer and if successful, will start construction of the new garage in September 2011. Construction will take 15 to 18 months for completion.
Wintergreen Building Water Infiltration Project: This past winter we had a structural engineer conduct a Forensic Roof Evaluation of the building to identify the cause(s) of water infiltration into the building. Several problems areas have been identified: the flexing of the metal roof decking (which is normal) has caused fasteners to back out and the exterior gutters have rivets missing and seams have opened up, allowing minor water infiltration. The internal gutter within the mechanical screens is the main source of the water problem. This is basically an original design flaw. A new design to correct this flaw needs to be developed with specifications for bidding. We have requested design services from the Department of Public Works and hope to have this project designed, bid and construction started by the end of the summer of 2011.
Renovations to First Floor of Schwartz Hall: This project involves the renovation of poorly designed, dysfunctional office space to meet the needs of staff servicing our residential students on campus. It also includes the renovation of student resource areas on the main level. The project is currently out to bid and is scheduled for a June 2011 start and September 2011 completion.
Additional design projects that we will be working on throughout the summer include the Design of Our New Academic Science Building and the re-design of the dispatch center in Granoff Hall for University Police.
Last , but not least, we are close to an agreement with the architect for the redesign of documents for the completion of Buley Library. Dr. Battle worked with the system office this past winter to get this project moving and legislation has been introduced, passed by committee and submitted to the full legislature for action. The legislation calls for the redirection of approximately $18 million to complete the project. Approval looks extremely favorable and we hope to start re-design this summer, bidding in the fall and construction start in the early spring of 2012
It will be a busy summer for all of us in Facilities but we look forward to the challenges before us.

Campanile Bordeaux Ouest Mérignac Aéroport
Top Business Hotel
Everything spotlessly clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Difficult to find, needed more detailed directions.
good customer care at reception desk on 30 July- late check in standard of rooms could be better, messy area on the left from reception desk-dining room, this hotel is generally ok if you are looking for cheap stay@ airport
Food for vegetarians could have been more imaginative
Standard of accomodation for the cost.
Reception staff were excellent and extremely helpful Bed was rather uncomfortable
Easy access and close to airport Gloomy room and smell of smoke
the room was clean and comfortable Not as near to the airport as expected, I was alone and would have liked more information about getting to the hotel.
Proximity to the airport
Small but perfectly formed, very clean, modern and comfortable. Nice helpful staff. Great price, very close to airport and one 30-40min bus ride away from central Bordeaux.
Very modern and surprising budget hotel, good location when you are by car, otherwise forget it. Nothing really
Design of room. Room is too small, no furniture, even chairs and closet for clothes, just for sleeping. Breakfast for additional payment, no restaurant at hotel.
near the airport not far from the city. bedroom size
Quet room, good service, would stay again, liked the pool.
Good clean facilities Needs in room coffee/tea maker
Friendly staff, nice breakfast, swimming pool.
Very convenient to the airport. Clean and comfortable. Good price. Very good restaurant (except the staff was not friendly). The staff could have been friendlier. They rarely smiled, and didn't seem to enjoy their work. The woman at the front desk the morning of our departure scolded my spouse when he mistakenly took a glass of orange juice from the table in the lobby, not knowing it was for people at a conference. There should have been a sign about that, and she should have been nicer about explaining that to him. She was rude. The waitresses in the restaurant weren't friendly either.
NOTHING ~ particularly as we were so abused by the desk clerks See above
Staff very friendly and helpful. comfortable. close to the airport .
Location to airport A pleasant garden and swimming pool were featured in the advert.this was not the case. The pool was closed and filthy. there was no garden . We felt misled and would not have stayed there if we knew these facilities did not exist. the hotel corridor outside our room was dirty.
Convenient for airport, city and coast. Bus stop for city outside hotel. The food was much better than expected.
Pool open 24 hours, had it to ourselves. Grounds kept very nice. Rooms spacious & lovely. A real bargain at 65 euros. No signs to help us find from the airport.
The hotel had a pool which suited our young daughter and the menu did allow for children. The meals We thought that the price of food and drink was very expenisinve. It made the cost of a reasonably inexpenisve hotel very expensive. Eating a basic meal for 2 adults and 1 child over two nights was over 100 euros (excluding drinks). Although I would recommend the hotel overall I would warm that the cost of food and drink is high.
Hotel equally suitable for business or leisure
Everything...we have stayed at a lot of hotels 2/3 stars !!!!! UK-Far East. This is the best hotel that we have ever used. The receptionist that was on from the after noon till late was fantastic. As you can see we were over whelmed as the staff and management seem to have got it right.
We arrived later in the evening and the staff member on duty was prepared with our reservation so that check in took seconds. Additionally he got the extra bed for our youngest to our room within 10 minutes. The room was more than adequate for our family of 5.
Location - perfect for our overnight stay between Holland and Portugal, food was excellent, classic room was very comfortable and had everything you could wish for. staff are lovely people - they aim to make your stay as pleasurable as possible, we would certainly stay here again.
Proximity to airport, friendliness of staff Restaurant was not open on Sunday
Good restaurant - friendly and efficent staff
Stayed at this hotel on previous occasions and once again we were not disappointed. Very pleasant staff and good service. Very good buffet in restaurant. Hotel very convenient for overnight stay.
Help from Receptionist on Sunday pm to provide cold meal
The staff at the breakfast room are really helpful and friendly. However the staff in the reception are not that helpful. The facilities in the room are not great (e.g. only 1 set of tower was provided although we have booked a double room for 2 persons)
clean comfortable rooms. short stay so unable to comment further unable to watch a rugby match in the bar, yet able to watch in our room
Air conditioning works well. Bed comfortable, I but recommed booking an extra bed and not sleeping on the sofa in the room, if travelling with child. Room quiet and quite spacious. Bathtub and little pentry also good The pool is practically on the parking lot.
good location, service oriented staff (in france!) rooms are to basic, eps bathroom
The bed and especially the sheets were wonderful.
super room! great location. quiet!!!
Roomservice was reasoneble and effective. Had to take taxi to go anywhere and this was costly. If you travel by plane and plan to stay in the area location is excellent though. Smaller pool than expected.
the rooms were spacious and comfortable and the showers were excellent. access for disabled users was good, bar food was poor - not enough selection and poor quality
Very convenient for the airport, comfortable rooms and shuttle service to the airport
It is close to the Bordeaux airport but gets little aircraft noise. Room ventilation system was broken. Bed was lumpy and uncomfortable. I will try a different hotel next time
Convenient to the airport for early morning flight. Good services, friendly staff, comfortable bed!
Great design and decor in rooms, very comfortable rooms, free wi-fi, nice staff, excellent location near airport, good for a stopover or to visit the area. The restaurant might serve the worst food in France!! Very bad quality, and expensive. Restaurant not open at night for dinner, but there are better choices nearby within a 5 min drive.
Lunch in the restaurant - excellent food & service. Paucity of airport shuttle services at the weekend. The furnishing of the bedroom was poorly designed - no drawers & no writing surfaces.
Staff at reception very helpful, could check in at 9:30 already, help with plane booking appreciated. Bus stop (liane 1) directly in front of hotel, good connection to airport and town there is free WiFi, but it is rather clumsy to use (not the fault of the hotel but of the company providing the service
The reception staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Our request for a taxi for 0500hr was dealt with immediately. And there was coffee available before 0500hr. That the restaurant was not open, and we had to seek out another place to eat, and what we really wanted was something on site so we could just eat and get to sleep early , because we had an early flight out. It would be great if there was a room that had 2 double beds, instead of the 2 single beds. We are used to having bigger beds.
Atmosphere cheerful and friendly. Staff very helpful. Because my flight out was late afternoon I had to eat in your hotel having no transport of my own. I had an evening light meal and lunch the following day, both of which were barely edible and overpriced, fruit at breakfast either overripe or not ripe enough to eat, for this reason I would not stay in this hotel again.
Location and staff. Room was very small and nothing like the photos at the web site.
Efficient staff, well organised hotel, v g dinner menue, excellent breakfrast w healthy choices, excellent info about Bordeaux and the region. Single glazed windows in the non-renovated area - a bit noisy, but we were given the choice to change room to double glazed if we had wanted.
Proximity to airport and nicer than other chain hotels. I do not recall anything saying that the restaurant was closed on Sunday.
The hotel was good value and offered an excellent dinner. We would use the hotel again if we were near the city. Internet slow and unreliable. Nothing hot at breakfast
breakfast is served from 5 o´clck in the morning,There is a shuttle service from the airport The desk in the room was not so big, if you want to work.There is only one el contact, when you want to connect both PC and a printer
Modern clean rooms, friendly staff. The AC was warm in both rooms we stayed in. I had to open the window to get fresh air. Rooms too small, the pictures in the site are decieving.
great for a short stay. staff were very good indeed. hotel was perfectly good
great hotel very freindly staff, no complaints keep up the good work, they even let us check out late nice touch there was confusion over breakfast i was told it was free but it was nt so it was a misunderstanding but still did nt take away from how good the staff where
Staff was friendly very helpful. Breakfast was very nice. We finally had real bacon with scrambled eggs!! We were surprised that there was no lift. Also our room had only one small window, and we found the double bed small. This is not a complained more an observation.
Hotel personnel were very friendly and helpful. Dinner & breakfast were very nice.
Location, breakfast, price and comfort The restaurant was closed for 2 weeks and we were not notified of this when we booked.
The hotel was extremelly friendly and very good value for money. The breakfast was also good Disappointed that the dinig room was not open for evening meals on the Saturday evening. Wpold also be good to have tea and cossee facilities in the room
very cheap , only two kilometers from city centre , free car park and also tramway available . staff at reception very helpful , they spoke english quite well , gave us a free city map and all the information about city no lift and car park closed from 11 pm to 6 am so if you come back late at night you might have to leave the car outside
Absolute fabulous staff. Lovely food. Great bed and good shower. Room and bathroom are a bit small.
Fabulous staff. Very helpful and pleasant. Good breakfast.
everything, seemd to be 3 star hotel not 2, very good restaurant downstairs, free parking nothing
air conditioning would be a good idea
There is no procedure for using of the Internet. We have paid and could not use the Internet. The IT team of the hotel should establish a procedure for users with MS IE and Linux operating systems to easily connect to the Interenet.
We only stayed one night and the location was an ideal stopover for the airport.
The fact that you could park the car was probably only the best thing I could say Cramped rooms..uncomfortable beds..drinks machine not working..basic facilities/decor to rooms...carpet worn...shower poor...bath dirty...no 24 hours staff..
proximity to airport was excellent. lack of restaurant and bar facilities on site. the setting was por - in the middle of an industrial estate.
Fully-independent studios Staff very nice and available to help / provide informations Additional parking places
Clean functional near the airport reasonable price Empty, rather desolate at night no cofee etc available. no cafes or other life nearbye
I would not stay at this Hotel again. There is nothing to commend it. Uncomfotable bed, broken shower, lack of amenities.
Proximity to airport and ease of parking
The place is nice for business people who need a confortable place when they finish their work Poor breakfast
Courteous and helpful staff, good bed and close to main highway, with secured parking Breakfast cost was prohibitive
Clean, nice rooms. Location on industrial estate. Bar terribly expensive - 6 euro for a small fresh orange!!! Staff at reception not that friendly.
staff were really helpful and the hotel is brand new, clean and pleasant to stay in location is off putting, but it did not matter once we stayed there
Room & hotel facilities were good Restaurant offered a good menu but the quality of the food was poor and served lukewarm. Location was isolated with no alternative local restaurants.
efficient helpful staff
Very convenient, on main autoroute system with easy access (including tram) into Bordeaux. Good breakfast if you're not too late, and very comfortable roooms and beds.
the modern room, the cleanness and the proximity of Bordeaux!
Enjoyed a fabulous meal at Leons because the hotel had no catering! see above
very attantive personel and the hotel is a new and there for nice and clean hotel.
I liked the distance to the airport. Heated pool was not heated.
the beds were excellent, the room was nicely decorated, and it was very clean, it was relatively quiet, considering the fact it is situated very near the airport the staff at the front office is not very well trained and, except for a Senegalese girl, names Astou, they were all incompetent, when asking questions they never knew the answers... faxex would arrive and they would not warn us about it.
room was very nice we stayed at this hotel even though it was more expensive than most because we had an early flight the following day and there was an airport shuttle service, however this did not start early enough and we had to get a taxi. We were not informed of shuttle timetable at the time of our booking.
English speaking front desk staff. The shuttle driver should not park in the lane with high concrete barriers that guests can trip over in the early morning when going to the airport for early morning flight. My wife did and is not happy about it.
Nearness to the airport. Friendly approach to dog. Helpfulness of desk staff. Lack of adequate road signs for the merinac airport. Much confusion there being three Merinacs
Superb attentive service, clean comfortable room, delicious food, easy airport access location. Highly recommend. I did not see a gift or sundry shop on location.
the room was very clean this hotel has the worst bar staff i have ever seen in a hotel i arrived around 20.30 checked in then went to the bar sat for 10 min before getting served then the barman disappeared again then 3 gents came in and waited about 15min one even went behind the bar and tried to pour a beer himself they even called reception then finally the same barman came back served the 3 gents and before i could say beer please he disappeared i waited 5 min then went to my room thirsty
Hotel was very clean and modern. Staff was also very helpful. The hotel is very close to Bordeaux airport, which was a plus, since we had an early morning flight.
Room service for evening meal very good although limited choice. It needs to move into the 21st Century in terms of its menus, snack availability, breakfast selection etc.
flexibility of staff.
The noise of the air conditioning system and finding the place
Ground carpets, cleanness of ground layer WC / its smell
I liked the idea that they have a free shuttle bus. I just called the hotel and the bus came to pick us up. not really.
Near to airport
We stayed at this hotel for one night en route to a camp site on the coast. For the little time we spent there, we found everything about the hotel excellent, and would stay there again if in the area.
Clean efficient friendly welcoming and cozy feeling You might like to put the ph number of the shuttle service on the reservation when arriving at the airport it is not all that clear
Close to airport - good for a one night stopover - probably not for longer Service was a little slow
location terms & condition not clear enough
Decent clean hotel, conveniently located near the airport, but not noisy at all
It was clean, quiet, nicely designed, and very close to the Aeroport. We arrived quite late, and wanted to get to sleep. But I was given the wrong room (it was already occupied by someone), and then had to wait for the clerk to bring me a new key. Also, the staff did not explain the security system for entering/leaving the parking area, or for how to enter the back door of the hotel. The staff just wasn't very helpful at all.
Excellent meals and service. Clean towels did not arrive until mid-afternoon.
Location We book a triple room + baby cot and when we arrived the staff told us that they don't have baby cots
the weather was nice the main building closed at 11 sharp and you were 10 min walk from anywhere and 15 mins from the town by taxi
Bedding smelt of tobacco
Very convenient to Bordeaux Airport - only 15 minute cycle ride. The bath was too small!
near ring road good service helpfull staff very good simple french food reasonable prices
Close to the highway and airport. A restaurant on site with a nice menu for a decent price. Pool for the kids.
The restaurant meals were excellent. They obviously have a very good chef - for a budget hotel this was very unexpected. We ate at the restaurant for three nights in a row and every meal was top class. The yound waitress was very efficient and helpful. Her wind and food suggestions were spot on. The Manager was also very helpful. The hotel is almost new and the rooms were spacvious and clean. La Brede is a good central location for both bordeaux aiport and the vineyards. Nothing really
Good reception staff, pleasant & polite restaurant staff. Clean facilities Bar prices too high - 10.50euros for 2 large beers that were not completely full - we thought was excessive & poor value for money
very convenient en route hotel nothing
It was close to the motorway and a nice quiet location. Hotel was good and staff friendly. The bar/restaurant does not open Sunday evenings like most of the restaurants in the area
The room was clean and the hotel was adjacent to the highway. The hotel was understaffed and was abandoned at check-in time. The room design was impractical - in particular the bathroom. Poorly thought out room design was an annoyance during our stay.

Paper - Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School
Economic Incentives in a New Climate Agreement
Prepared for The Climate Dialogue, Hosted by the Prime Minister of Denmark, May 7–8, 2008, Copenhagen, Denmark
The Harvard Project on International Climate Agreements has agreed to help the Office of the Danish Prime Minister, in its role as incoming President of the 2009 Conference of the Parties, to prepare background papers and on-site briefings for a series of very high-level dialogues on climate change policy, hosted by the Prime Minister. These dialogues will each include about 25 participants, including CEOs of European and U.S. corporations, key officials from national governments and intergovernmental organizations, and leaders of major environmental NGOs. This paper on the subject of economic incentives was prepared by the Harvard Project leadership for the first dialogue.
Virtually every aspect of economic activity results in greenhouse gas emissions, so meaningful climate policies will need to alter the fossil fuel foundation of economies over the long term. Climate change policy will likely cost more, benefit more, and require more changes in behavior by firms and individuals than any other environmental policy. The magnitude of this challenge has drawn attention to the potential use of market-based or economic-incentive instruments to ensure that polluters face direct cost incentives to mitigate emissions at the lowest possible cost. The first section describes various economic-incentive policy instruments and the second section discusses their potential application in the design of an international climate policy agreement.
The market-based instruments most appropriate for climate policy are taxes and cap-and-trade. Under an emission tax, a government imposes a charge per unit of pollutant discharge, or it could set a tax on the carbon content of fossil fuels. Under a cap-and-trade scheme, the government sets an overall cap on emissions, allocates emission allowances — that in sum equal the cap — to firms in the economy, and allows trade in these allowances among firms. Under a variant of emission trading — an emission-reduction-credit system — firms generate credits for reducing their emissions that they can sell into a cap-and-trade system.
Climate change is truly a global commons problem: the location of greenhouse gas emissions has no effect on the global distribution of damages. Hence, free-riding problems plague unilateral and multilateral approaches. Further, nations will not benefit proportionately from greenhouse gas mitigation policies. Thus, mitigation costs may exceed benefits for some countries, at least in the near term. Cost-effective international policies — insuring that countries get the most environmental benefit out of their mitigation investments — will help promote participation in an international climate policy regime.
In principle, internationally-employed market-based instruments can achieve overall cost effectiveness. Three basic routes stand out. First, countries could agree to apply the same tax on carbon (harmonized domestic taxes) or adopt a uniform international tax. Second, the international policy community could establish a system of international tradable permits, — effectively a nation-state level cap-and-trade program. In its simplest form, this represents the Kyoto Protocol's Annex B emission targets and the Article 17 trading mechanism. Third, a more decentralized system of internationally-linked domestic cap-and-trade programs could also ensure internationally cost-effective emission mitigation.

ATLANTA -- The National Automatic Merchandising Association reports that Georgia Rep. Chuck Sims (R-Dist. 169) has introduced a measure in the state's General Assembly that would require dealers who sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on retail premises to make "alcohol sensors" available for purchase by their patrons. The sensors are to be designed so that patrons are able to voluntarily test their personal alcohol consumption levels.
The measure, HB 1307, also authorizes dealers to provide alcohol sensor vending machines as a means of satisfying the bill's requirements. If they chose this option, they would not be permitted to charge more than $1 per patron for use of the machine.
The measure states that liability will not be imputed to dealers for complying with the bill's requirements (i.e., by having the alcohol sensor vending machine on their premises) and will not be required to monitor the results of patrons' sensor tests.

"During their date, they pulled to the side of the rink and shared their first kiss. This became their "spot" to take a rest and share a romantic moment when they made visiting the rink an annual tradition. "
Brooke and Ben found each other at the perfect time. They had their first date at Rosa Mexicano. After enjoying an enchanted evening of guacamole and margaritas, Ben asked Brooke if she would like to grab some after-dinner coffee. Brooke, being the conscientious student that she was, declined because she was worried that the caffeine would keep her up all night. The next morning, she texted Ben and asked if he wanted to go ice skating at Bryant Park that evening. Ben quickly responded with a definite yes. During their date, they pulled to the side of the rink and shared their first kiss. This became their "spot" to take a rest and share a romantic moment when they made visiting the rink an annual tradition.
The week before Thanksgiving, Ben suggested they go for their annual ice skating trip before the weather got too cold. The two of them headed off to the rink for an afternoon of skating. They took a few trips around the ice, stopping in their usual "spot" along the side of the rink to take a break. After heading off the ice for another break, Ben suggested that they take one more trip around the ice before heading home. This time, when they stopped in their "spot," Ben got down on one knee (flawlessly, while wearing ice skates) and the rest is history.

All of those years filming Kalis, Stevie, and Pappalardo at LOVE, filming Dill and Jake Johnson in NYC—two decades filming the most pinnacle skaters at the most pinnacle locations at the most pinnacle points of their careers, and Bill Strobeck has never made a full-length video of his own. 2014 is the year, the time is now. Supreme's "cherry" is the moving picture of all of Bill's ideas of what a skate video should be. And we're all thankful for it. Read on.
Interview by Blair Alley
How was each city on the premiere tour? Which one was the best?
They were all good, but I felt like in LA everything clicked. I like that theater, there was the Dennis Hopper Hollywood star out front, I was super hyped on that. That made it so I could talk in front of the crowd easier [laughs]. I felt more confident because of that. I don't like talking in front of crowds. That first one [New York] was like, "I gotta go up there? Shit."
You seemed really comfortable when you got on stage in LA.
I know, I think I broke the ice at the one in New York. I had to go beforehand to check out everything, and they were like, "You're gonna talk right?" I was like, yeah. They were like, here take the mic, go up there. The New York theater was insane, there were balconies that went up real high and far back. I went down below and there was no one in the seats and I was pretending like I was talking, because there were like three people there with me. I left, went home just to change and get ready, and I was in my house pacing. Like fuck, I gotta talk? It was so anticipated for me, I was kinda freaked out—not even about the video at all but more about the speech. I ended up bringing the kids up there with me. I was thinking that'll be perfect, I'll be like, "These guys did a good job, you don't know who they are, give them a round of applause, you're about to see them in the video." Just talk about them.
After the first one, then the next one [LA], I was like rifling off jokes, I basically did stand up, I coulda done karaoke. LA was alright, by the time I got to SF, I was like, "Little Boy Blue, he needed the money!" [laughs] I could do anything. I understand how it becomes easy for performers.
All the premiers went great, LA was a good one for sure, the sound was good, all those kids were there, they had their families there. That was rad.
That whole night and the after party were so fun.
Oh my god, so fun man. It was rad that all those kids got to get in. They all got in, half of them got kicked out. I thought it was cool, I remember being that age and being like whoa, I'm hanging out with my adult friends and there're girls and stuff. I liked that.
Did the New York crowd judge as hard as you thought there were going to?
No they didn't. I think they were really psyched on it. No one knew what to expect, so they if anything pre-judged it. Everyone had an idea of what they wanted to see in it. No one knew what they were gonna get. No one had seen the video, none of the skaters had seen it. I really tried to stick to my guns. Everyone would come over to my house like, "Show us footage." I'm like, "I'm not showing you footage." Not even the people in it got to see their own footage. I wanted everyone to have the feeling of ordering from a skateshop and getting the video in the mail and not knowing anything and seeing it for the first time. Only a couple people had seen it, the people we had do the coloring and the sound and my mother, so no one had seen it really. There were times when the kids would be at my house and I was like, dang, maybe I should show them something to get them hyped. But those guys hearing what other people were doing was getting them psyched, and it probably made their imagination think it was way crazier than it was. I know some of the people in the video were nervous, like, "I don't know if I did good enough." But I wasn't gonna make anyone look bad. I wanted everyone to have an even amount of stuff. Some of the kids had more than others, but I cut it down to where everyone had an equal share in the video, because I knew after it was out that was it, that's forever.
How far into filming did you know you'd be cutting it into montages rather than parts?
I didn't know what I was gonna do, I had no plan. I was kinda nervous when I started filming, like dang man, I got the gig. It's a video that I knew everyone was going to want to judge. I improvised the whole thing. I felt like if I was gonna go forward having an idea, it wasn't gonna be that in the end anyways. So while I was filming, I was just logging the footage. For example, I edited that part with Gonz and Dill in Paris trying those tricks over that bar—I had that edited without the background when I came back from Paris and that was the first trip. I made something to show those guys at the office. I sat on that the whole time, I didn't even look at it until toward the middle [of filming], then I was like, oh I'm definitely gonna use that somewhere. So we ended up filming over at my buddy Dan Colen's studio, he makes those paintings, and I asked him if he'd want to do one,then I asked the girls if they'd want to make a kiss painting. We spent a couple hours doing that, it was super random, and then I was sitting on that footage. I knew that I wanted to put that in there, but I didn't know where, and then it just struck me—it would be cool if the girls were in the background and Gonz and Dill were black and white. The mix between something that was so pretty and those guys stressing, that's what it's like to actually skate and not everything is landed all the time. I felt like the mix between those two was a positive/negative. That worked out like that, but to get back to your question, I improvised the whole video from beginning to end. The reason they became montages is because I didn't really know what to do. I like to see certain things next to certain other things, I wanted people to have to guess and to have to watch it again to understand who it is that was in it. There're no names in it and the names at the end aren't in order. If you know you know, if not you gotta ask people—for me that's the fun part. It's like watching the demo section in Questionable. You were like, "Who was that guy?" You knew who Sheffey was, and Carroll and Howard, but there were a couple guys like, who the fuck was that? You had to find out, that's what I wanted to do. I want people to have to watch it more than once. I wanted to make it how it felt while making it.
I was real inspired by Hokus Pokus when I was younger. I could only get videos when I was 14, 15 from the video store and Hokus Pokus happened to be one of them and I was glued to that thing. I was so into the vibe of it, it was raw, I felt like the H-street kids were cool. These people in Hokus Pokus aren't like the people I go to school with. I wanted to be more like them than the people in my school. So I was hoping to give the same feeling that I got when I was younger to kids nowadays. I know it's a different time and things get leaked and things are just different, and I don't really understand so much because I was around back in the day when none of this was happening. I was hoping to give a sense and feel of people hanging out and having fun and if you wanna film, you can, and if you're gonna try a hard trick, cool, but if not I still wanna document it. It is a skate video and there is really good skating in it, but there are moments that are fun and those kids were excited to be in it. I don't even know what the question is at this point [laughs].
How was Dill as producer?
We put Dill as a producer because he was one of the people that definitely made it happen. He really painted the picture of like, "This is gonna be one of the last, if not the last video in my career." This is it, him and Mark, they're going to still skate, but the try-hard shit, they're pushing on the end of their careers. Dill's like 37 but he's like, "No one, even myself, wants to see me skating when I'm 40." I understand it and dudes skate way past their 40s, but I can understand seeing someone in there 40s and seeing someone at age 18 and being like, "Damn, that fucker's old, what's he doing?" Gonz is like, what 45 now? You're still stoked to see anything from him because he's so creative. But it gets to a point, where there's a difference there.
Dill painted the picture for the guys in the office like, I wanna do this, I've always wanted to do this, and this is a great thing for Supreme. I don't think anyone thought they could do it. They had all the right people though, we brought those kids into it, and then Gonz and Dill, they do stuff for Supreme all the time, and then a bunch of people that really wanted to be in the video. Koston or Guy are super busy but they wanted to go out and do it. It was sick. It was really fun to see everyone together at schoolyards or skating through the city. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The energy and the collaboration between everyone as a whole was perfect for me.
Who's idea was Reese Forbes' indy over the table?
That was Reese's idea. I hit up Reese to come hang out, and we were just at the schoolyard. I was like, "Let me just film you for fun." It took him a few to get the fakie flip, so he just did the indy a bunch of times. I remember being super hyped. He thought it was for fun but when I watched the footage I got psyched. Damn, Reese, he just looks so sick. It's a simple line but it works. I'd go skate if I saw that. I just felt like I should put him at the beginning of a section because I've always been a fan of Reese's and no one has seen stuff of him for awhile. I wanted to make him look fuckin' rad so that's where I put it.
How did the Scott Johnston footage come about? Did you hit him up or did that just happen during filming?
Scott was so psyched on the project and he came out a lot. He's a busy dude, he's got two kids, works nine to five, but he put in time. I wanted him in it for sure. Me and him are like brothers. I'm so hyped that he's in there. He was hitting me up while I was editing like, "When's this coming out? I can't wait!" I'm like, "Dude, you're not in there. Sorry, it just didn't make the cut." And then [laughs] you know it just shows up. I love that shit—the element of surprise.
You pranked Scott Johnston!
Yeah, I just wanted everyone to be surprised. I don't think Reese knew he was gonna be in there.
He was at the premiere though. That was sick.
I didn't even get to see him, I was super bummed. He called me from the car after he left like, "I'm so stoked for you. That video actually makes me wanna go skate for real." I was just overwhelmed by people afterwards. Paulo [Diaz] to Greg Hunt were there and all that. A lot of those kids' parents were there coming up to me, "I'm so proud of my kid! Thank you!" I felt great.
Who coined the name "cherry"?
Well, I had a list of names and "cherry" was in there. Trying to pick a name that is gonna be forever, that's like trying to name your kid. It's crazy. It drives you nuts, especially when I'm editing the video and they're like, "We need a name ASAP!" The name is because of the video footage of Sean Pablo and the still of it on back cover of the video, it's him holding the board that says 'Take my virginity away.' The whole video is based on that: It's my first full-length video I've ever done, it's Supreme's first actual skate video. I felt like it was poppin' the cherry of everything. It was the first time anyone was gonna see those kids, half of them I heard lost their virginity during the making of the video. "cherry" means more than a few things to me, the color, the taste of cherries, the word "cherry," like "That shit's cherry," means it's mint. It's subtle and it also means everything else.
Really good name.
It's perfect for Supreme as well. You can even use those emojis. It worked out, it's the best name I could've come up with.
Did you get more footage of Pappalardo or are his tricks in the video all he got?
I feel like everyone asks me that question. It's so funny how everyone is so nutty over Pappalardo. He got one other thing, but it was a longer clip and it just felt dragged on for me. No he didn't really have much more than what he got, and I didn't go out with him a lot either. He was around a lot, like with the boardslide in the water—he wasn't trying to film that. He just did that, there were 15 of us there. He happened to be fuckin' around and I had the camera out filming someone else. I didn't want this video to be like how people are skating today. Dylan is up there and a lot of the stuff in his part is really hard, but he wasn't going out to one up the last video part of somebody else. Everyone was doing what they were doing and Dylan just happens to be really fuckin' good. Dylan wanted to keep his momentum up. Anthony doesn't have anything to prove. Back in the day, Anthony was what Dylan is. He's an interesting kid and at the end of the day he's my boy so he's in the video. There's a lot of personality footage that no one's ever seen that I have of him from those days.
Describe the scene that led to the crackhead lady flashing her tits.
[Laughs] That's really funny. I was in LA, Supreme was closed for a month to redo the store to put out the new line for the year. It was the day they were reopening and the line was literally five blocks long. Na-kel and his boys were hanging out and I wanted to film the line of people. I went to grab my camera from the car, on my walk back, that guy and that lady were in front of Canter's and they were being real funny, drinking whiskey. They asked me if I had any money so I pulled out my camera and asked them about the line down the street, you know, get 'em going. The guy was like, "You can't film us unless you give us money." The lady was tipsy and was like, "You wanna see my tits?" I was like shit yeah. The guy was like, "If you pay us five bucks." I was like well hold on real quick. I went and got Na-kel and said, "Yo do you have five bucks?" He did and I was like loan it to me, and come with me over here. This is gonna be tripped out. She started pullin' 'em out, that dude was counting the money. You saw six seconds, that footage is 30 minutes long. I was like, "Yeah, pull your milkies out!" After a while she started saying, "Want me to pull my milkies out?! I'll pull my milkies out!" I love that that shot's in there [laughs]. It's really interesting.
How did you cast the video?
We had an idea of who we wanted. There was no cast. I was like, hey you wanna be in this? Those kids came into play, and after a while with those guys they became my main focus. I was staying at Dill's and he lives a half a block from the shop, and Sage and Na-kel would be there like, "Let's go skate! Let's go skate!" They were really psyched which got me so psyched. I'd be hitting up the pros and I wouldn't get calls or texts back sometimes. Enough after three texts, I'm going out with these kids and they killed it. I'm hyped for them and I think it's a great start to something that's gonna be bigger for them. The people in the video are who put in the effort to be around me when I had the camera. That's how it was at LOVE Park when I was there. For years that's been the case. Like back at Embarcadero, Kelch ollied up the stage, they filmed it, it was random and it was mixed into a video. It was spontaneous.
Did you consciously go for a '90s soundtrack?
No, I had ideas for songs at the beginning. INXS was one of the first songs. I really wanted to see Dylan skate to that. I feel like Dylan wouldn't have picked that song if he had given me a list of music, but I felt that vibe of who Michael Hutchence was—I just felt like INXS was real sexy, and it was fitting for Dylan. Dylan's footage was epic enough to have a song that strong and I'm glad he trusted me. I had a different song for the first two parts, which was one long song, but we had problems getting the rights for it. I took out the song I had in there and put in the Jane's Addiction song and it literally matched and I didn't have to edit it. For some reason it went better. I was like, "Holy shit we gotta get this." That [Jane's] song and that video for Stop came out when I first started skating, like the era of the Speed Freaks video. I was so into that song, I had the tape, the vibe of that song was so cool to me when I was younger. I felt like what a perfect time to bring that song back and put it in this first intro section. I wanted the kids to remind me of me when I was that age. It's really fast paced, and they're all falling and stuff, it's a good intro to the video. It's funny, the soundtrack is like one of those '90s CDs you get with the greatest hits. A lot of those songs are classics but they've been forgotten. The Cypress Hill one, Kevin Bradley is just high all the time, he's the Kush Cowboy. "I wanna get high," it's just perfect. I was entertaining myself for sure during the making. I felt like if I was excited about it, for example, SJ would be excited about it, and it would bring him to a place where he's like, dang I miss that time in my life when we were all hanging out and nothing was serious. And I wanted kids these days to have something to look forward to and also look back and see all that type of music, especially with like the Group Home song, they don't get that now-a-days.

Now that the video is out, are you happy with it or are there things you want to change?
I'm really happy with it. I've watched it a bunch of times and I'm not sick of it at all. I feel like I made something that I wish somebody else would've made for me today. That style video is what I've wanted to see, it's just that I had to make it. I saved all my ideas for this video. To see those kids in the video, their reactions and people coming up to them afterwards—that's the video for me. I'm glad my first full length was for Supreme.
Did you edit this one laying in your bed, too?
I didn't. I eventually got a desktop and had to sit at a desk—I was hyped, the screen was crystal clear. What was I doing editing on a laptop this whole time? I can't believe it. I didn't know, though.
What's your take on releasing a DVD or online video nowadays?
All I can do is explain that when I ordered Questionable, I waited on the mail for it, I think two weeks before it got to my place. When I got it, I was so excited to have this thing in my hand that I watched it 300 times basically. People have been hitting me up through Instagram, they add my name, and it's like "Premiere at Jimmy's house, tonight!" And they'll have a photo of the screen they pulled down and a projection on it. That fucking gets me hyped. It's so organic and original and such the way I always wanted it to be.
I like things about the internet, I can watch an old documentary or interview on someone that I would've never gotten to see, but as far as skateboard videos go—it's just so saturated with horseshit. Supreme put out the DVD, it got ripped the first day, it was online for two days before it got taken down. That's 70 thousand people right there—even though I was flattered, it felt cheap to me that it could go online that easily, all that hard work. I'm sitting there doing premieres and people are coming up to me saying, "I watched a little on YouTube, but then turned it off." Kids don't really give a shit, and let me tell you right now, if I was in the middle of nowhere, I would've watched it and probably posted it. There is something that's missing and it is getting that Questionable VHS in the mail and bringing it to your friend's and having everyone come over to watch it, and everyone going skating afterward. And that's what I still want. Part of making the DVD is to have something to hold and collect, like "I got a copy." The iTunes is better looking than the DVD. The iTunes looks exactly how it should. So I do like that too.
The video ender, Dill's nosegrind, were there any other runners up or was that locked in for a while?
Dill had that and I thought it was gonna go to the Vans video, but I told Dill that if we got it, I'd give him the last trick. Dill's last videos are now. He's been so involved with Supreme and skateboarding in general, we gotta end it with Dill. That trick is fucking gnarly. I felt like Dill deserved it. He was busting his ass for the video and not getting as much as a lot of people cause he'd get hurt. I like how that clip ends, not just the trick, I like how it ends—he goes back and there're all those people high fiving him and yelling and the camera gets shaky. It cuts to black great. I felt like it fit.
What advice would you give to up and coming filmmakers?
Don't go out of your way to do what you see other people doing, it doesn't work. I've done it. When I started filming there were times when I was filming like Jamie Thomas because I was psyched on it. A lot of people didn't like how Jamie filmed in those Zero videos, but I thought it was original and I liked it. If you're really trying to get someone to notice you—look at how French Fred filmed those long lens angles rolling from behind. You notice that it was filmed different and it was interesting.
Palace was doing the VHS stuff for a while and I just started seeing all these other people doing it and I felt like they were diarrhea-ing all over Palace's art. "We're gonna do it too, it's cool." If you're really trying to stick out, try your own thing.
Last question. What's next for Bill Strobeck?
I don't know, I'd like to do something non-skate. I'm always gonna be doing stuff in skateboarding with whom I like, but I'd like to do a scripted film. I can't say right now. My heart says I wanna do something like that. Maybe a short film, maybe have some girls involved.
That never hurts.
It's great, that's something skating will never have, [laughs] ever. I know a lot of girls here that are willing to play a role or take a photo. Everyone's so cool like that. Maybe something non-skate, I'd like to do.
Congrats on the video Bill! It's amazing.
Thanks man, thank you so much. I'm stoked you like it. I'm actually stoked you got to go to the premiere in LA, it was really strong there. One last thing I'd like to say is—these kids, they knew that they were getting filmed for this video but they weren't acting at all. They were being themselves and that's special to capture, money can't buy that. I think after a while, like five, six video parts, you know how to be in front of a camera. I like in Questionable when Colin McKay and Danny Way are wrestling and they're just little punk kids and they wanna go out and cause trouble—that's missing in skating, man. It's really about that and capturing that essence of what I think skating is. It's not just going out like, "Jimmy meet me at the handrail. Let's do this." It's more about, let's go fuck around over at this place and maybe we'll run into the other guys, maybe run into some chicks or whatever. It's just fun. It's hard when you have a deadline, but the kids in this video—there is no deadline—that's just them being them. Even if we're not filming, hanging out is just as fun. Questionable really nailed me, Tim & Henry's even more so. I watched it so much that I couldn't handle the music anymore. I would turn down the volume and just put my own music to it and try different songs to it, and that might have been my first type of editing [laughs]. That's what I did for this.
Randomly I've been going back and buying all VHS skate videos on eBay. I kept a lot of the ones I really like, but I'm like into skating again. I want the originals. I have a VHS player. I just watched Virtual Reality a couple nights ago from beginning to end the way it's supposed to be watched and I was so hyped. VHS still looks cool and so is skating.

High-tension tempered glass construction for enhanced shock protection
The SGP GLAS.t SLIM Series screen protector is made from a chemically reinforced glass that maintains perfect image clarity while protecting your phone's screen from scratches and external shock. Thanks to the anti-shatter film, excessive impacts may cause the glass to crack, but it will not shatter and so is safer to use than other glass products.
Oleophobic coating helps resist fingerprints
This screen protector features an oleophobic coating that resists oil contamination and fingerprints, making it easier to clean without the build up of grease that can lead to a rainbow sheen effect.
0.23 mm thickness adds minimal bulk to your phone
Despite being the ultimate in screen protection for your HTC One M7, the SGP GLAS.t SLIM Series is only 0.23 mm thick. This means it only adds an almost imperceptible amount of extra thickness to your phone, so you can be sure it is safe from harm while looking as good as new.
Easy installation with no risk of bubbles
As this is a premium glass screen protector and not a film, it does not bubble at all on application. In addition, the Fluorine coating allows for easy removal should the GLAS.t SLIM be damaged or if you just want to swap it out for another colour. Also included is an epoxy coated button cover in the same colour as your GLAS.t SLIM Series screen protector.
Made for HTC One M7
Designed specifically for the HTC One M7, the SGP GLAS.t SLIM Series screen protector offers a perfect fit for your device. It features cut-outs for the camera, sensors, speaker and button, with transparent sections for the capacitive buttons so you can still see when they are lit.
