i think you are making the right decision to stay in paris . we have a long list of places we didn ' t get to in 12 days in paris .
as for day trips out of paris . well that ' s a personal choice . for 10 days in the city id recommend one trip , perhaps to versailles , but you will find that there is plenty to do in paris and you will have no trouble filling up ten days worth ! !
no , the reason i chose ten days’ wonder for the claude chabrol blogathon is because it’s fun . fun to watch . fun to write about .
if i ' m planning a trip of about ten days , i plan it to coincide with the monday - sunday navigo decouverte transit pass ( but not if lower airfares more than offset the cost of filling it other days ) .

ten days is a nice length visit . we left a lot to see next time , but we did everything that we
needed
to on this trip at a relaxed pace .
we spent ten days in paris in may - june , and did most of the things that are on your list . i wrote a long trip report which , if you ' d like , you can find by clicking on my name and looking at my forum posts .
i would prefer to spend less time in paris and more in some of the little towns . while in paris i would have liked a group tour of versailles .
my gf and i are going to paris in mid may . we are going for 10 days . i ' ve never been so i am very excited !
it was certainly fun celebrating my birthday in paris : - ) .
the plot was uncovered in the days after the paris attacks on november 13 , in which 130 members of the public , including briton nick alexander , were murdered in a series of attacks across the french capital .
he was already wanted in connection with the paris attacks after being spotted in a car with salah abdeslam when it stopped at a petrol station in ressons , on the motorway to paris .
i mentioned a few weeks ago that clotilde and i decided to swap apartments . she came to san francisco while i went to paris . wayne and i spent ten days in paris criss - crossing the city on foot and by subway , darting into patisseries , taking photographs , and sitting on benches in flower - lined city gardens . we ate well in paris , and i found plenty to be inspired by in the little cafes serving up seasonal tarts , salads , crepes , and quiches .
ten days in paris is a comedy spy thriller with an excellent pedigree . to begin with , it stars rex harrison with support work from leo genn , john abbott , andre morell , and the beautiful kaaren verne , and it is directed by tim whelan ( q planes , aka clouds over europe ) .
ten days in paris is a dessert wine , not a fine vintage , but a pleasant brut , bubbly , witty , and ideal for a pleasant diversion . it doesn’t rank with hitchcock’s the lady vanishes or carol reed’s night train to munich , but it has its own charms and displays them with elan .
a tourist in paris turns out to be a doppelganger of a german spy operating in the french capital .
we stayed in a paris hotel room for two nights , traveled for 10 days , and then returned to paris for 10 days in an apartment . i definitely recommend an apartment for a stay of several days or more . apartments are larger than the tiny parisian hotel rooms , and the kitchen facilities will allow you to enjoy the wonderful food markets - - you can buy a roast chicken for dinner , or just have cheese and wine on hand for snacks .
his leading lady is the german born kaaren verne in her movie debut . she would flee the the us after this film , where she would later marry peter lorre ? ! ! mr . lorre getting a lovely girl like that ! more respect to him ! verne was alright here and had the blond look studios were always after . she does help make this light spy drama an enjoyable one . ten days in paris ( 1940 ) , aka missing ten days , might not take full advantage of it ' s script , but it ' s entertaining in it ' s light - headed mood .
with 10 days in paris , then taking 2 or 3 day trips that only leaves you 6 - 7 days in paris . if you have never been there than you will have plenty to do . but only you know what your main interests are . you could arrive , stay a night then take the fast train to another area for 2 - 3 days , then return and finish all your time in paris . but you certainly could stay in paris and take day trips to reims , versailles , giverny , etc . whatever you decide please spend at least a full week in paris . i could stay there a month and be happy ! our first time there was our 20th anniversary in mid may . we loved having picnics near the eiffel tower , taking naps in the tulleries after visiting the louvre , strolling around with no destination in mind . you will love paris in may !
update : 4 / 2 / 12 i ' m consolidating my paris information onto a more current page . it includes a map , a long list of places i enjoy in paris , and links to other paris references . here ' s the link : paris : places i love .
just as a comparison for you . . . . . i ' m planning 11 days in mid may as well .
the other idea on the table is to stay in paris but to do day trips to champagne , versailles ( which we would probably do anyway ) and just stay in paris the whole time .
while walking along a paris street , englishman robert stevens is shot by an unknown assailant , but luckily he is only struck glancingly and rendered unconscious . when he awakens in beaujon hospital , he initially thinks he was injured in an aeroplane crash . his father , sir james stevens , confirms he left england in an aeroplane , but ten days before . however , his father does not believe he cannot remember anything about those missing ten days . ( it turns out that robert is an irresponsible ne ' er - do - well who had disappeared before . ) robert decides to find out what happened . his only clue is a note that was found on him signed by

you will have a great time . i personally do not think 10 days is too much in paris . i have been just twice , the first time for a week and then in oct / nov 2010 for 2 weeks . i still want to go back and spend more time . we plan to go in sept 2013 and spend at least 1 - 2 weeks in paris .

why ten days’ wonder ? i certainly wouldn’t call it one of chabrol’s masterpieces . that’s a description i’d reserve for les bonnes femmes , le boucher , ã double tour , la rupture , the cry of the owl , story of women , la cérémonie , or any one of a half dozen others .
gumercindo , this will be my first trip to paris and we booked a hotel .
this was my first trip to europe and i got a wonderful variety of what france has to offer . we spent 2 days in paris before the tour began so had learned how to navigate our way around a bit . with the additional tours in paris we saw much of what we had on our original list . the tours outside of paris were great , with some history and some culture . overall , a trip to be remembered .
the attacks are suspected to have been masterminded by abdelhamid abaaoud , a belgian national killed in a police raid in saint - denis , northern paris , a few days later . another key figure - salah abdeslam - was arrested on 18 march after going on the run .
investigators see a link with verviers ,

great tour if paris , the loire valley , normandy . our host , julie sonveau was very competent and attentive . my husband left his ipad in the hotel in amboise and she had it mailed to our airbnb in paris ! she went above and beyond !

no one moment . i certainly enjoyed the time away from paris the most .
the radio times wrote ,

; while the new york times conceded ,
preposterous as it is , missing ten days is rattling good fun .

the frenchman , who lived in the north - eastern paris suburb of drancy , had been known to french intelligence services .
we’re staying in paris for 10 days ( nine full days plus our arrival day ) in late march – early april . does anyone think a day trip to brussels is worth it ? i did a forum search on this topic but most of the posts were several years old . i don’t know if we would do this anyway , but if it’s not really worth it , we can strike it from our “maybe” list . even if we wanted to go , is our timing too tight ( less than 50 days away ) to purchase reasonably priced train tickets ?
the tour was excellent ! this was my first visit to france , and this particular tour was chosen because it combined several days in paris with the opportunity to experience other parts of the country . i came away with a good good understanding of french culture .
we spent 11 days in paris based in the 6th just this past april . i kept a day - to - day journal which includes a trip to giverny and various museums , and many places to eat . if you have trouble sleeping you can read through it starting here . . .
10 days is a great first trip time span - - and would afford plenty of time to work in a few daytrips e . g . versailles , chartres for starters
paris is a major transportation hub , making additional travel before or after your tour quite easy .
abaaoud , 28 , is described as the suspected ringleader in the paris attacks . he died in a long gun battle with police , who raided a flat in saint - denis on 18 november .
which brings me to another reason why i love this crazy film . i have always been fascinated by the role of myth and archetype in filmmaking . in ten days’ wonder , chabrol and his co - scenarist eugene archer ( an american auteurist who had been a mentor to andrew sarris and peter bogdanovich ) took a typical ellery queen detective novel and intentionally overlaid its story with as much mythic and archetypal resonance as possible .
this is a very active tour ! most days are moderate to strenuously paced with 2–8 miles of walking , including hilly terrain and lots of stairs .

it might sound like a scene from the calais jungle but it ' s a road in the 19th arrondissement of paris , one of the wealthiest cities in the world .
another option would be to spend a couple of days in the champagne region - it is very easy to do an overnighter there as reims , particularly , is quite a quick train ride from paris . this just depends whether you prefer ' fizz ' to ' still ' - eh !
this was my first experience and i enjoyed it immensely . the group was so compatible . i loved the opportunity to have time to explore on our own . loved being in the city of paris and also to enjoy the rural of france . some days were quite crowded and tiring .

while all the focus has been on the closure of the jungle in calais , france must deal with the thousands of migrants sleeping rough in paris . and their numbers are growing .
i enjoyed all sites visited on our tour . while the museums and architecture in paris was fantastic , we did find paris a bit frenetic ( recognizing tourist season ) and , overall , enjoyed the locations away from paris a bit more . beautiful countryside , chateaus , museums , and historical sites . loved them ! re paris , i was prepared for and wired to immerse myself in the culture , yet felt the level of multi - ethnicity brought people who seemed unconcerned with respecting / understanding each other .
i would personally stay in adagio apartments rather than citadines , they ' re a better quality really . ive been to paris several times and stayed twice in montmartre in adagio apartments and once in adagio on haussmann in the 8th eme and each time have stayed for more than 30 nights : )

the tour of paris and france was a great look into the culture , the people and life in france . we got to experience big city life in paris , including the food , transportation ( metra and buses ) , great museums and of course the eiffel tower . the tour through the countryside and small villages was a vary interesting and a sharp contrast to paris . normandy . . . very moving .
prince of verona banishes romeo from verona . unaware of the wedding capulet arranges for juliet to marry paris on thursday
great tour guide ( julie ) who was helpful whenever needed , and who provided very informative and useful narratives about history and current events . by design , tour was mostly about palaces and normandy beaches outside paris ; the tour only skims paris . so if you want the focus to be paris , this is not the right tour .
the life and work of john berger represents a challenge . how best to describe the output of a writer whose bibliography , according to wikipedia , contains ten “novels” , four “plays” , three collections of “poetry” and 33 books labelled “other” ?

he has not been identified but there are some suggestions that he may have taken part in the attacks on bars and restaurants in the 10th and 11th districts of paris with abaaoud and brahim abdeslam .
planning to leave for the normandy d - day beach area via train as soon as we arrive at cdg . spend 3 days there seeing the sites and then travel by train to paris to enjoy all it has to offer . i ' m still filling in some details but leaving some time open to just go with the flow .
ten days’ wonder is a film that deliberately reminds the viewer of the past screen performances of its stars : welles , with his putty nose , as a power - obsessed patriarch like the characters he played in citizen kane , mr . arkadin , and the immortal story ; perkins as a tortured son like the characters he played in desire under the elms , fear strikes out , psycho , and the trial . chabrol wants his audience to see welles as the archetypal father , perkins as the archetypal son .

being a bit of a playboy , neither his father or the french police believe his story that the last ten days are a total blank , especially because there is a note in his pocket obviously from a woman signed d . as soon as he is out of the hospital he finds himself approached by andre ( john abbot ) who seems to know him and who orders him to return to madame d . she turns out to be the beautiful kaaren verne , and her chauffer / butler barnes .

the tour was fun , informative , and made very good use of our time ( mostly ) . julie is a wonderful guide , and i really appreciated her knowledge of france against her american background . i like the time in paris for independent activities , but some of the stops outside paris felt rushed .

maybe it was when the lady in the candy shop in villedieu sold me the one piece of candy that i requested [ invalid ] in french ! i had many opportunities to act like i lived in france . i got to know the neighborhoods where we stayed , i learned how to select the eating place that matched my needs , and i could manage the public transportation in paris . the bus trip took us to many beautiful places , but most special to me was mont - saint - michel , a spiritual goal for me since college days .
this tour gave us the opportunity to visit many memorable sites both in paris and the countryside , and along the way we enjoyed learning more about the french people and their history .
police have fenced off much of the areas underneath the overground metro in the north east of paris , but that just means homeless migrants have to find other places for their tents .

he had also been in contact with mehdi nemmouche , accused of shooting dead four people at the jewish museum in brussels in may 2014 .
i marked the tour as very good , but it really should be between an outstanding and a very good . this tour was a wonderful introduction to northern france , hitting all the high points . we arrived in paris essentially 3 days before the tour began and still didn ' t see everything we wanted to see . paris was fantastic . the french people were all very friendly , not one negative experience . sometimes the tour felt a little rushed , probably a function of there being so much to see and do .

tour highlights : mont st michel in the evening after most people had left , the american cemetery at normandy , the remains of the mulberry at arromaches . seeing the bayeux tapestry which i studied in college 50 years ago was quite an experience . the lily pond at giverny put the monet paintings in perspective . all great . but the ' wow ' moment came during the 3 days we spent on our own in paris after the tour . i realized our easy use of the metro was due to michaelanne ' s practical instructions .
stringing together an all - star collection of rick ' s favorite places in and around the city of light , your expert guide will bring you the very best of paris along with its most stunning surroundings : the loire valley ' s exquisite châteaux , brittany ' s half - timbered villages , normandy ' s magical mont st - michel and stirring d - day beaches , monet ' s dreamy gardens at giverny , the stained - glass wonders of bourges cathedral , and a medieval castle being built in burgundy today — using lots of muscle and 13th - century technology . join us for paris & the heart of france in 11 days !
normandy by far . it took my breath away and left me humbled for several days . i still can not get it out of my mind . the tour guide , dale truly made it special .

salah abdeslam ' s brother died after he set off his explosives - laden suicide belt near a paris cafe on boulevard voltaire , investigators say .
le st mont michel , amboise , and a few of the chateaus , and normandy and paris were all the highlights for me .
since we are staying in an apartment , for consecutive days , staying the night in normandy won ' t be an option . i am aware it would be a long day , but the guidebooks made it sound possible . hoping we can make it work , it is my husband ' s biggest request : )
i will leave out any countryside visits then . it was just a recommendation in a guidebook i read , saying something like
if you plan on staying for more than x amount of days you should consider a day - trip to other villages / towns

we then dove right in to the museums , cafes , and hussle - bustle of paris . there were many things worth remembering about this trip , but i tried to condense it into a list of highlights - places i loved , great food i tasted , the best things i did . hopefully the list can serve as a bit of inspiration if you find yourself in paris sometime soon .

excellent tour . our guide was excellent as were the local guides . the [ invalid ] ion of things to see was spot on for me despite my 76 years because i am still physically fit . however , for my wife , who is 64 and has a bad knee , some days were too much . this was also true for a number of others in our group . your description of the tour did warn of some strenuous days but you might consider the demographic that takes your tours .
how to capture a life ? a problem of biographical projects , especially those involving subjects who left behind multiple books and interviews and hours of film footage , is that ten edits of the same story will yield ten different lives . this raises a further question with which every biographer must contend , even for lives much less complex and ecstatic and varied than susan sontag’s : how much space should be given over to the messy details of the private life—the love affairs , the children , the fraught relationships with family—how much to the public life , and beyond that , how much to the environment and the era by which that life was shaped ?
seeing the abbey at mont st . michel in the early morning was probably the
wow
moment for me . we had seen paris and normandy before so would not call them wow moments .
it would be too hard to choose only one but the top three were the d - day beaches , monet ' s garden , and chateau de chenonceau . next in line would be paris .
which is why , i think , when the writers of friends referred to the demise of another tv show last week , it wasn ' t a sitcom . one of the most enjoyable things about friends is the occasional ways that it comments upon itself as television . in the beginning , the frame of reference for the show was the sitcom universe . in the pilot alone , rachel watches the joanie and chachi wedding from happy days (
see , but joanie loved chachi ! that ' s the difference !
she says ) , and monica refers to joey and chandler as
lenny and squiggy .
ten years later , the point of comparison is a different one : bemoaning rachel ' s imminent departure for paris , chandler says ,
it feels like when melrose place got cancelled .

if you haven ' t already committed to flights , apartment , etc . , you could always head to normandy on arrival , spend a night or two there , return to paris and settle in your apartment .
but the reality is that the migrant crisis in paris has existed for some 18 months now . while numbers may have swelled a little this week , the situation is no worse than it has been for months .
there are dozens of appealing day trips , but you ' d see mostly the destination town , and not much

the jihadist attacks were being planned in the week after the paris massacre , but the two foreign pilots , one of whom was flying for an airline on an intelligence service watchlist , were intercepted talking about the plot .
the beauty of the land and the friendliness of the french people were amazing , but the moments that have stayed with me the most were the talks by dale booth on the beaches at normandy . the anguish , horror , and bravery displayed in the days around june 6 , 1944 are hard for most of us to comprehend , but dale brought all of the facts and the emotion of those days home for us . it was a grim reminder of how fragile our freedom is . ( we were there the day after ve day . )
the apartment had been rented in a false name . it is thought that the belgians among the suicide attackers picked up their belts there before going to paris . salah abdeslam is thought to have returned immediately after the attacks .
rex harrison has lost his memory and can ' t remember what he ' s been doing these past 10 days . appears he ' s been involved in some war related espionage ! so we follow him as he stumbles to uncover what he ' s been up to . a rather jolly affair . much to playful for the danger he ' s in . but that ' s the brit in him , i guess .
many tour members arrive a day or two before the tour begins — and those who don ' t , wish they had . this allows you ample time to get over jet lag and make the most of the first few days of the tour .

police in morocco detained another belgian in january . gelel attar is said to have lived in molenbeek and had direct links with abdelhamid abaaoud and chakib akrouh . he was reported to have travelled to syria with akrouh in january 2013 .
paris had been due to open up an official “humanitarian” camp in the north of city but it has been hit by delays . when and if it finally opens it will only hold 400 people and will only offer temporary accommodation .
we
almost
made the day trip to normandy this past november - - but when we couldn ' t convince our brother - in - law to spend the night there , we dropped the idea of going . november days are short , and it was not worth it to us to rush through normandy .
in 2009 , berger donated his personal archive – a collection of letters , drafts and sketches accrued over a lifetime and lovingly stored by his late wife , beverly , in a stable at quincy – to the british library . a few days after i met berger in paris , tom overton , the researcher who was responsible for cataloguing the archive , explained how the process had worked . “i’d find something and have no idea what it was , ” he said . “i’d scan it in and email it over to beverly . some time over the next week , often early in the morning or late at night , i’d get a phone call . a familiar voice would begin : ‘can i tell you a story ? ’”
we wanted to stay at mt st micheal , and we did . that was the high point of the trip . seeing the d - day beaches was a sobering day , having studied those days of the invasion at the us military academy , west point .
are you limited to november or february ? paris is even more wonderful when the weather is pleasant ( for enjoying being out and about , sidewalk cafes , open air bus / boat tours ) and there are flowers in the gardens .
implicated in four out of six foiled attacks this year , he was believed to have joined militant group is in 2013 .
just another wonderful rick steves tour . we enjoyed the mix of activities , free time , and excellent tour guides during our paris and the heart of france 11 - day tour .
he is believed to have rented a vw polo car in belgium , which was later found near the bataclan concert hall where 89 people were killed . but he also rented a renault clio and reserved two hotel rooms outside paris before the attacks .
it was an argument , in other words , for precision and intelligence in our use of language . in the cacophony of interruptions that follows , kates cuts to an editorial that sontag wrote as a teenager , in the north hollywood high school newspaper :
french officials investigating the deadly paris attacks on 13 november have identified most of the people they believe to have carried out the assaults , claimed by the islamic state ( is ) group .
we ' ll depart early this morning to visit monet ' s beautifully preserved , masterpiece - inspiring gardens in the town of giverny . in addition to the serene ponds made famous by monet ' s paintings , we ' ll also see his house , studio , and japanese garden . after free time for lunch , we ' ll make our way back to paris and a farewell feast together tonight , where we ' ll share travel memories and toast new friends . salut ! sleep in paris ( 1 night ) . bus : 4 hours . walking : moderate .
he had earlier appeared in several belgian police files alongside abdelhamid abaaoud . the documents relate to criminal cases in 2010 and 2011 .
one day , martin called berger into his office . “he said , ‘look , john , i’ve decided i want to learn to draw . i’m retiring now . do you know anybody who could help me ? ’ and i said , ‘yes , let me try , i think i can . ’ so , every ten days or so , i would visit kingsley in his flat , which was off the strand , and encourage him . this considerably changed my position on the paper , because when i went in with the next little piece and there was another argument ( which i wasn’t winning ) , i would say , ‘could i go round and see kingsley and see what he thinks ? ’ he didn’t always support me but most of the time he did – and my life became easier . ”
when i arrive , wet , to meet berger at a house in paris one recent gloomy morning , he looks concerned . “you’re cold ! ” he says , urging me to sit down by the radiator while he disappears into the kitchen to make coffee .
i arrived in paris a couple of days ahead of the tour , which allowed for travel transition and option to see a couple more icons . everything was taken care of , well organized , and went off without a hitch . as with all of rick ' s tours , it ' s such a joy to meet new friends and share in fun and laughter . by the end of the tour , you simply don ' t want to leave
camp .
julie was amazing , kept us all on track , and her knowledge of all things france was invaluable . thanks for another great time !
enjoyed the tour very much . lots of walking , all the museums , churches , new friendships all added up to a great experience . i loved the small towns once we left paris .
my wife and i had an enjoyable time . we were with a great group of people . we were able to see many great sights both in paris and around france . the accommodations were nice and we were able to enjoy some great food and wine .

while watching this film i also learned what i already knew : i can ' t watch movies starring barbara bouchet . she is too beautiful and wonderful and she mesmerizes me to the point of helplessness . it started with don ' t torture a duckling and it continues in full force with caliber 9 .
caliber 9 is a very noir film filled with a twisty turvy plot , double dealings and backstabbings , and that extra italian flavor . by that i mean violence of the more extreme sort and general exploitation . my kind of flick . it is extremely apparent after watching caliber 9 how much these films , and possibly this film in particular , influenced the crime films of tarantino . it exudes that same sense of cool with an abundance of dialogue , complicated plot , and bombastic violence that we ' ve seen from tarantino . i love tarantino but there ' s something really special about seeing the originators of a modern style one enjoys .

a lightweight alpha gold aluminum frame , rockshox recon fork with beefy 32mm stanchions and remote lockout , tapered head tube , and boost110 thru axle front hub all work together to give x - caliber 9 exceptional handling . the tubeless ready tires and wheels make it easy to ditch the tubes for a smoother ride with fewer flats and less weight , and the shimano xt / slx 2x11 drivetrain has smaller jumps between gears and a clutch - equipped rear derailleur to reduce chain noise .
the x - caliber 9 is the most expensive bike in the range and gets a very respectable kit list for the money , though as trek still sell bikes through traditional bike shops it can ' t quite touch the value for money that direct - sales brands offer . that said , it does mean you ' ll be able to get face to face advice and try before you buy , which can be worth a lot more than a few extra trinkets on the bike .
blood orange has been working with caliber since the beginning of our truck design process . their premium american - made urethane has proven to us , and our riders , to be superior to the other skate bushing options available . the release of their ultra - high rebound bushings now gives caliber trucks an even more responsive feel than ever before . the uhr bushings currently come stock in all caliber trucks and are available in various durometers as aftermarket components to give you a highly customizable feel . blood orange also offers a complete line of high - end aftermarket accessories ranging from slide gloves to grip tape and bearings . check out their website and see for yourself why the world ' s top downhill skaters are choosing blood orange…

if you ' re looking for a rapid handling cross - country hardtail then the x - caliber delivers in spades , but it ' s a bit of a handful when the trail turns downhill thanks to steep geometry and a dated cockpit .
napoli . . . serenata calibro 9 is a 1978 italian crime movie directed by alfonso brescia . the camorra boss don salvatore savastano ( mario merola ) lost his family when several masked robbers attacked the restaurant . now don salvatore wants to find the assassins before the police will do it .
brian and ivy were fantastic to work with and they made our event very special . we received several comments from our friends about how great the band sounded and how fun they were . thanks to caliber for making our event a huge success…see you guys at humphrey’s again soon !

in the first time of the tirology , small - time gangster ugo piazza has just been released from prison . he tries to convince the police , the mafia and his one - time associate rocco , a sadistic hoodlum who enjoys sick violence and torture , that he wants to go straight , but everyone believes that he has $ 300 , 000 of stolen money hidden somewhere . caliber 9 ' s stylized violence , fast - paced action sequence , tight editing and plot twists prefigure the work of quentin tarantino and john woo . the film also features a notable score by luis bacalov and the stunning barbara bouchet as ugo ' s go - go dancing girlfriend .
second album , preludio , tema , variazioni , canzona , also known as milano calibro 9 from the name of the film for which it was chosen as soundtrack , is a step backward , with few band compositions mixed with composer bacalov ' s orchestral themes . some of the osanna tracks are beautiful , though , like the first three variazione .
all in all , the x - caliber 9 has a lot of potential . if you ' re willing to make it – and yourself – work very hard , then it ' ll reward with a responsive , sharp and precise ride character that won ' t beat you up like cheap aluminium frames often can . on flat , flowing singletrack , it ' s precise and lively , while covering ground will come with ease . it ' s a real shame as it could do all this and much more if trek had calmed down those race roots , relaxed the geometry and butched up the cockpit . with a mild tweak , this could be a seriously rapid hardtail ; not just up up and along , but also down .
xgmr from odin works is the one accessory your ar glock pistol caliber carbine needs . xgmr is a one piece replacement for your factory magazine release . the extended paddle on the xgmr makes gun handling easier for shapes and sizes of hands . machined from 6061 billet aluminum and designed to work with kns pins and the bad lever . your ar will handle easier and look better .
dreamy fantasies aside , this film is just killer from start to finish . the cinematography , the action , the story , the acting , the in depth left - wing political divergences that make this film as relevant today as it was then , and the music . the main theme for this movie is amazing . instantly one of my favorite themes and i just want to listen to it on repeat . another element that makes caliber 9 so good is the fact that it isn ' t a big action film that fires on all cylinders with shoot outs and chases . it is relatively calm film with explosive punches that never overshadow the more mundane moments . it feels so fluid and deliberate , never trying to dazzle with spectacle and always focusing on the plot . again , very much an influence on tarantino .
i ' ve run an odin xmr 3 on all my ar - 15 ' s and wanted a similar position for my ar - 9 mag release . the xgmr 1 doesn ' t disappoint with the fit and finish i ' ve come to expect from odin works . it puts the release at my finger tip and the added leverage makes articulation effortless . if you don ' t have one you should . great value !
caution : x - caliber will get you hooked . it packs all of trek’s xc race hardtail experience into a light , fast , race - ready bike that pairs the right wheel size with each frame size . nothing beats the efficiency , simplicity and straight - up fun of an x - cal hardtail . great for xc racing , marathons , 24 - hour racing , or simply shredding single track .
is built for speed . the 44 degree hanger angle allows performance riders to push the limits of downhill racing . to further optimize the trucks ' stability , blood orange bushings are configured with two 89a durometer barrels to avoid high speed wobbles . like all caliber trucks , the kingpin is made of grade 8 steel to ensure your trucks will stay in one piece , no matter how hard you push them .
the x - caliber range is trek ' s entry to their proper cross - country hardtail offerings , designed to tackle proper off - road riding rather than being a multi - sport machine . all share the same aluminium frame and that ' s a very good thing as it ' s really well made for the money , with a lot of thought having been put into the double butted , mechanically formed tubing .
at the rear , the wishbone seat stays aren ' t braced before they attach to the seat tube , giving masses of mud clearance and also allowing a touch more compliance in the back end . along with a slender 27 . 2mm seat post , that means the x - caliber is no harsh , back - jarring machine over the bumps and with an integrated headset , it ' s a tidy looking frame too .
a really neat feature of the x - caliber range is while there are seven different frame sizes on offer , the smallest two bike frames using 27 . 5” wheels rather than the big 29” hoops that the rest of the range uses . that means that handling should be balanced to suit rider height , with frame angles tweaked to suit as well . the big wheeled bikes also use a special trek - developed fork offset designed to work better with the 29” wheel size .
caliber yacht charters was established in 1974 . we have been serving the community since then with services aboard yachts which include , catering , yacht and boat renting , djs , bands , clergy , bridal consultants , lighting specialists , furniture rentals , casino themes , bakeries , etc . we consist of 5 full time employees and about a dozen more part timers . the focus is to customize a yacht with the bride and groom desires . we have an in house wedding coordinator .
there are two things i particularly liked about milan calber 9 in this regard . the first was that the “hero” of the film , ugo piazza , is a small - time criminal that comes in the form of a middle - aged , stocky , and balding tough guy . given my own lot in life currently , it’s encouraging to see that this type had some play in italy during the 70s . the part was played brilliantly by gastone moschin whose probably most famous in the u . s . for his role as don fanucci in coppola’s godfather part ii .
if another band had offered to play our wedding for free i still would’ve hired caliber . the band leader brian was professional , fun , friendly , available over the phone and seemed to truly care about our special day . they worked with us on some unique songs and ideas for our reception . i sat down for only one song at our wedding and had to hurry to the dance floor for the next . any compliment from a wedding guest addressed the band at least once . i hope to hire them for wedding anniversary parties down the road . good people , great band . thank you ! ! !
la mala ordina is also a sensual film , especially when femi benussi is on screen : moreover , it’s also a sum of di leo’s universe , a catalogue of characters , places and actors who will return in later films , such as woody strode ( to be seen again in the sexy crime spoof colpo in canna , 1974 ) and henry silva . but la mala ordina ’s main asset is mario adorf . his character looks like a clone of milano calibro 9 ’s rocco musco , and seems like a parody at first : then it turns into a sort of metropolitan cuchillo ( the character played by tomas milian in sergio sollima’s la resa dei conti / ? ? the big gundown ? ? ) who gains a tragic dimension and a dignity that others denied him .
caliber rocks on so many levels ! ! their level of professionalism and how personable they are made such the difference at our wedding reception . when we decided to book them , they met us in person to get an idea of our likes and the feel for what we were going for and they nailed it to a tee . they worked with me as i sang a song for my new bride . they set up the night before and still showed up 4 hours early than we thought to sound check and get everything they needed in order ; total professionals ! ! everyone raved about how amazing they were and what a great variety of music they played . above and beyond anything we expected . book them if you want a great party !
even if it doesn’t live up to the pre - credit sequence , fernando di leo’s milano calibro 9 is a fast moving and engrossing thriller , with gaston moschini in the main role giving the best jason stratham performance ever . the film can be credited with having an agreeably amoral stance , but make no mistake : this is not in any way a realistic depiction of the underworld , even if some reviewers like to pretend so just because rocket launchers or belt - feed machine guns are absent . for example , we are supposed to accept that the sicilian guy is able to infiltrate the mob boss’ mansion by himself and kill a dozen bodyguards with his rusty revolver , merely because he’s old school . duh… anyway , let’s not forget what really matters : every criminal in the film dies with the sole exception of rocco , and for his next movie the director hired adorf as the main character . as if he wasn’t the true hero in this one .
more importantly , the x - caliber ' s dynamic ability is let down by geometry and a cockpit that has its basis in very traditional views of how a cross - country machine should handle . the 69 . 6º head angle is pretty steep and certainly means the bike is very responsive to your input , but along with the long 110mm stem it rapidly becomes a twitchy handful for all but the most quick witted of riders when you choose to point it downhill on all but the mildest of gradients . while the respectably long reach means you should have plenty of space to move your body about and maintain a stable position on descents , that big stem forces your body weight so far forwards that technical trails have you worrying about going over the bars or letting the front wheel tuck under on tight , steep corners . if you ' re a head down , pedal and suffer racer than might be acceptable , but for the less experienced or more aggressively minded rider it ' s an unrewarding experience .
one of the greatest bands in the italian prog field , osanna came from naples , formed in 1971 by the members of i volti di pietra and cittą frontale ( another band with the same name came from osanna ashes and recorded el tor ) whose keyboard player gianni leone has gone to balletto di bronzo . reeds player elio d ' anna came from showmen , the others didn ' t have significant experiences .
during their four years lifespan osanna failed to create , as many critics have pointed , the perfect album , but left us four very good lp ' s , among which palepoli deserves a particular mention .
l ' uomo , their first album , released in a memorable triple gatefold cover , already contains their distinctive elements , the nice voice of lino vairetti ( with interesting lyrics indeed ) , the aggressive flute of elio d ' anna , fluid guitar playing by danilo rustici and the solid rhythm section of lello brandi and massimo guarino . taken from this album the tracks l ' uomo and in un vecchio cieco were also released as a single , both starting with an acoustic guitar introduction followed by guitar and flute riffs .
the band also had an intense live activity , with band members all dressed in long vests and with their faces painted . the collaboration with theatrical groups produced interesting shows , unique for the italian audience of the time . they also played with genesis in their early italian tour , and who knows if the osanna stage show has somehow inspired peter gabriel . . . in june 1971 the band won the first prize at
festival davanguardia e nuove tendenze
in viareggio , along with premiata forneria marconi and mia martini .
third album , and their best one , palepoli , from 1973 sees the band at their peak . the album only contains three long tracks and is housed in a nice gatefold whose inner picture is based on the band live stage background . the starting track , oro caldo , mixes the band typical style with folk chants from their native city naples . while stanza cittą and the side long animale senza respiro all give space to the good playing of the band members . in many writers ' reviews one of the best italian prog albums .
unfortunately things didn ' t go well between the group ' s members and the band came to a split during the landscape of life recording sessions , producing a sparse album . housed in a great cover designed by drummer massimo guarino , with an inner gatefold painting by singer lino vairetti ( some of the band members came from the naples academy of arts and also had an artistic career ) , the album contains some nice tracks , but suffers from the lack of a real band playing it . the band was trying to play abroad and the album was also intended for the foreign markets , so five of the seven tracks are in english , but due to the split it had to be finished with the help of corrado rustici ( danilo ' s younger brother from cervello ) and drummer enzo vallicelli ( then with uno ) .
danilo rustici and elio d ' anna , with drummer enzo vallicelli , went to england to form uno , while remaining members lino vairetti and massimo guarino gave a new life to their old band cittą frontale , this time with new musicians and recorded an album in 1975 called el tor .
things were not so good for both the newly formed bands and osanna reunited in 1977 with new members enzo petrone ( that had played with lino vairetti in i volti di pietra and later with moby dick ) and fabrizio d ' angelo , but their album suddance is very far from their best days , despite some good tracks . after the last split danilo rustici formed luna .
a further reunion of the bands with some of the original members brought to some concerts in the 90 ' s , and a new cd has been made in 2002 containing old tracks in a re - recorded form . the last release is an interesting cd + dvd set distributed by btf taken from the december 2001 reunion concert ( not 2003 as stated on the cover ) , and also including four new studio recordings . the latest osanna incarnation includes original members guitarist danilo rustici and singer lino vairetti along with bass player enzo petrone from the 1977 line - up and newcomers gennaro barba ( drums ) , gigi borgogno ( guitar ) , luca urciuolo ( keyboards ) and vito ranucci ( sax ) . the revived osanna sound is much funkier than ever before , and even the old songs suffer from the new arrangements , though sometime the energy of the old band emerges again .
in 2008 the group has released a cd single featuring two old tracks rearranged with a new sound , l ' uomo and ' a zingara . for some concerts they were helped by the van der graaf generator saxophonist , david jackson . with this line - up , after many concerts , the new album prog family was released in early 2009 , containing reworkings of old osanna tracks , along with their version of van der graaf generator ' s theme one .
as said above , some of the band members also had an artistic career in different fields , lino vairetti being an appreciated painter . he also designed the marvellous cover for the tempo di percussione 1975 album . the original bass player lello brandi released a solo album , osanna blues , in 2009 ( afrakà cdel 2016 ) , but despite its title the style is very far from the classic sound of his group .

osanna albums are rather common in italy due to the large number of copies pressed . first album l ' uomo was originally released in a triple gatefold cover , with the outer pictures composed in a big exclamation mark , that could be hung on the wall with a small hook ( some copies had a plastic hook , others came with a metal one , glued to one of the cover sides ) . late 80 ' s reissue on fonit , in collaboration with the vinyl magic shop and label , had a simpler gatefold cover . the single taken from the album , l ' uomo , should have been released in 1971 as the lp , but the vinyl on side b carries a june 1972 date .
original issue of palepoli came in a thick laminated gatefold cover that was soon after replaced by a thinner non - laminated one , both completed by a yellow coloured lyric inner sleeve . all the albums on fonit were originally released with black / silver labels .
the 2009 reissue of landscape of life on btf had , along with the standard black vinyl version , a limited pressing of 24 numbered copies on gold / black splattered vinyl .
some tracks from the early production of delirium and osanna were used in instrumental form in the soundtrack of the 1972 western film scansati . . . a trinità arriva eldorado directed by dick spitfire ( aristide massaccesi , a . k . a . joe d ' amato ) . this soundtrack never appeared on record .
suddance was also released by cbs in other european countries , among which spain .

up front there ' s a rockshox rekon silver rl offering 100mm of travel , or 80mm on the smallest frame size bikes . it ' s air sprung , so it ' s a simple task to get it set correctly for your body weight and you get adjustable rebound damping along with a lockout that ' ll stop everything bouncing up and down on smooth sections . it ' s a surprisingly well controlled fork off road , with the damper doing a sterling job of keeping control despite the relatively short overall travel . it still uses normal open dropouts rather than a stiffer , more secure through axle design . along with the relatively long and skinny legs , that does mean there ' s some flex in the fork and steering precision isn ' t great once the going gets seriously tasty .
that ' s a real shame as the rest of the bike works cohesively , with the twin ring drivetrain , ten speed drivetrain snicking smoothly across gears , even under power . ideally , there would be a clutch equipped mech to prevent chain derailment , but as long as you keep the pedal to the metal it works very effectively under power and the shimano deore shifters shift with a smoothness that ' s barely imperceptible from their much higher end offerings , albeit at a mild weight penalty . shimano also provide great stopping power in the form of the m365 hydraulic brakes . yes , the lever is quite long and clunky compared to more fancy items in shimano ' s repertoire but they do the job of hauling you up in all conditions with aplomb , even with dinky 160mm rotors . at 13 . 2kg for the 19 . 5
frame it ' s a decent weight too .
apart from the great big stem , trek ' s house brand bontrager has provided some excellent finishing kit , with special mention going to the wheelset . despite the low spoke count , it ' s stiff and accurate , offering an easy upgrade in the form of tubeless ready rims . talking of upgrades , if you ride anywhere with mud , you ' ll be wanting to see the back of the skinny bontrager xr2 rubber sharpish . it ' s mega fast rolling thanks to low profile tread but the lack of width means you need to overpressure it to prevent pinch punctures , with a resulting lack of comfort despite the fact the big hoops help smooth out trail chatter . that low profile tread verges on the lethal when the going gets sloppy too .
tell us what the bike is for , and who it ' s aimed at . what do the manufacturers say about it ? how does that compare to your own :
trek say :
it packs all of our xc race hardtail experience into a light , fast bike that pairs the right wheel size with each frame size . nothing beats the efficiency , simplicity and straight - up fun of an x - cal hardtail in 29er or 27 . 5
. great for xc racing , or simply shredding singletrack .
state the frame material and method of construction . list the components used to build up the bike . :
frame uses alpha gold aluminium w / semi - integrated head tube , mechanically formed and butted tubing , race geometry , internal front derailleur routing , rack and mudguard mounts , g2 geometry on 29ers . smart wheel size gives 27 . 5
wheels on smallest sized bikes and 29
wheels on larger frames .
shimano deore 10spd drivetrain and shifters with xt rear mech . raceface ride crankset with 36 / 22t rings .
100mm for all bikes , except the 13 . 5
frame which gets 80mm .
was the bike comfortable to ride ? tell us how you felt about the ride quality . :
in terms of reach , it ' s pretty damn good , with plenty of space to move about on the bike and a riding position that ' s not cramped . the hugely long stem really needs to be changed for something shorter though , it ' s a bit too tiller - like for a modern bike . that ' s compounded by the head angle being pretty damn steep , so handling is on the twitchy side , even with the custom offset of the g2 29
fork . if you liked race bikes of the 1990s , you ' ll like the way this rides , but if you have slightly more modern tastes then it ' s a right handful on more technical or steeper terrain . the bottom bracket is respectably low , which means flat cornering is pretty stable and the chainstays aren ' t ponderously long either . that makes it on a par with more cross - country orientated bikes from many manufacturers , but it ' s steep and twitchy compared to more versatile all - rounders .
really nicely made , with a braceless seatstay design that maximises comfort and mud clearance . skinny 27 . 2
seatpost helps here too . good paint finish , looks more expensive than it is .
in the 19 . 5
frame i tested , there ' s a pretty generous reach of 458mm . head angle is 69 . 6º but varies on sizing , with smaller frames being marginally slacker . the seat angle is 72º but smaller sizes are steeper . there ' s a nice short 100mm headtube , which helps compensate for the extra height of the 29
wheels that are fitted to the larger frames . chainstay length is 445mm .
it ' s made from trek ' s alpha gold aluminum with butted and mechanically formed tubing .
tell us some more about the handling . how did the bike feel overall ? did it do particular things well or badly ? :
there ' s decent room to move about on top of the bike and the custom offset fork means it ' s not ponderous on flat , flowing singletrack . the very long stem and steep head angle does mean it ' s a handful to control on steeper descents or more technical sections .
the skinny , minimally treaded tyres mean it needs constant tending to maintain grip and stay on course .
the shimano gearing shifts smoothly and quietly , even under power . there ' s a good spread of gears with the double chainset as well . it ' d be nice to see a clutch equipped mech to prevent dropping the chain however .
