Relaxed stay with friendly expatsKenyaNairobiNairobi
About this listing
We are a friendly expat couple living in Nairobi for over 9 years now. Our apartment is in a "resort"-like compound, very secure, in a great location in upscale Kilimani. There's a pool, 24-hour security, and wifi coverage in most parts of compound.
We've added a small mirror, a desk calendar, an extra chair cushion, and a side table where you can unpack your luggage.
Space where guests can cook their own meals
Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper
The Space
We live in a two-bedroom ground floor flat in a "resort"-like apartment complex with a swimming pool, 24-hour security, and management-provided wifi in Kilimani, Nairobi. The management-provided wifi internet gets erratic at times. Good news is we've managed to boost the wifi signal in our apartment via an extender and (drum roll) the guest bedroom now has wifi too! (Thanks to our wonderful guest Josh who set it up).
Our place is ideal for those travelling from outside the continent here on business, as student interns, or as tourists. In our previous flat, we often welcomed INGO and humanitarian staff working elsewhere in Africa who travelled to Nairobi either on R&R or meetings and wanted to stay in a more home-like and affordable place.
Our current guest bedroom is spacious with a comfortable king-sized bed made even more comfortable by an orthopedic mattress, a huge duvet to snuggle in, and as many pillows as you want. :-)
Since it's king-sized, it fits a couple or a single guest very comfortably..
The bedroom faces north so, unless it's cloudy, it is blessed with lovely natural light during the day. There is a bedside table with drawers and a lamp. Across the room is a basic writing table and chair. The closet can be locked and you can use as many hangers as you want.
As with most flats in Nairobi, there are no screens on the windows so we encourage you to draw your curtains and close your bedroom door after 5 p.m. to discourage mosquitos from coming in. We do have a plug-in electric mosquito repeller should some mozzies manage to sneak their way into your room.
The bathroom is shared and we will provide you with towels, shampoo, and soap. There is also a toilet by the front hall.
We like to hang out in our living room (since the internet connection is strongest there) and you are perfectly welcome to join us should you feel some company. We don't have a TV/cable since we normally get all we need online. We also like to read and we have plenty of books, mostly fiction, that you may borrow during your stay with us. We also have an extensive movie and TV series selection! :-)
You will also enjoy using our kitchen - we have a 5-burner stove, sandwich griller, and all manner of kitchen accoutrements should you wish to cook. And cooking will be convenient - fresh meat, fruit, and vegetables can be had from the newly-opened Adlife Plaza a mere 4-minute walk away, Yaya Centre a mere six-minute walk away or Prestige Plaza a fifteen-minute walk tops.
The compound has a generator so power outages (very common in Nairobi) are hopefully brief. The compound also has its own borehole and the soft water is one of the best quality we've had in Nairobi. There is also a pool.
And oh, we became the humans of three (I know...) very lively (and impossibly cute) rescue kitties... SassCat the Calico Girl, Stoney Tangawizi the Ginger Boy, and Sena the Ebony Girl. They don't have access to the guest bedroom and we intend to keep it that way. Since these inquisitive cats know they are banned from the guest bedroom, they may try to sneak in. So if you don't want any feline bedroom inspectors, kindly keep the hall door leading to the bedrooms closed at all times.
Guest Access
We hope to make you comfortable and to feel at home. We try to make sure everything is in order for you.
Fiber optic wifi internet provided by the apartment complex service provider is available and accessible in most parts of the whole compound - you can sit by the pool with your laptop, if you wish. As of July 2015, there is now wifi signal in the guest bedroom, thanks to our wifi extender. (You may sometimes need to connect your laptop first in the living room and then the signal remains stable even when you've moved back to your room.)
Though our compound wifi is pretty reliable, there are times when it's slow or down, especially when the current service provider is upgrading/tweaking their service. (TIA! This is Africa!)
Sometimes, during power outages, there's a delay before the generator and wifi kicks in again. Should there be totally no power and internet (it happens when power company guys work on a nearby transmission line), there are several nearby restaurants with generators and good wifi connection you can go to should you really need to work online during the outage.
Alternatively, we can also lend you a broadband modem stick which you can top up and use anywhere.
Our bedroom, of course, is off-limits..
Interaction with Guests
We both work (office and at home) and workdays can be a bit rushed but generally, evenings afford some relaxation and catching up. We're pretty laidback people and are always up for a good chat, or a quiet drink or even the occasional movie marathons at home. Wild party animals we're definitely not. :-)
The Neighborhood
We are so conveniently located in Kilimani! Adlife Plaza, Yaya Centre and Nakumatt Prestige Plaza are just 350, 500, and 900 meters away, respectively. The Greenhouse and Adam's Arcade are a couple of minutes further away. The iHub is approximately 1.1 kilometers away.
There are many restaurants and coffee shops in the neighborhood - from upscale to hole-in-the-wall - all within walking distance. You have a choice of Kenyan, Ethiopian, Italian, Lebanese, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, American, Brazilian, Somali etc cuisines although some of the stand-alone restaurants may be closed on Sundays. But there's always a place in which to eat at Adlife Plaza, Yaya Centre or Prestige Plaza. If you want to go further afield, there's Lavington Green, The Junction, or even Westgate.
Chemists/drugstores/pharmacies, hair salons, bookshops, toy shops, sporting goods, an Apple Store, hardware, banks and ATMs, money exchange, courier and travel agencies, wines and spirits, greengrocers, butcheries, grocery and supermarkets, music learning centre, hospitals and clinics, (yup!), fitness centres, cybercafes, churches and mosques, and even the secondhand clothes/toys/household goods place that is Toi Market are within easy walking distance. Seriously! :-)
The Maasai Market selling all manner of curios, blankets, beads, baskets, ethnic jewelry, figurines, is on every Saturdays at Prestige Plaza and Sundays at Yaya Centre and that's always interesting for some souvenir hunting. Bargain well.
While Kilimani is said to be an upscale part of Nairobi, there is still a lack of good sidewalks (which can be muddy when it rains and dusty when it's sunny) much like in other parts of Nairobi. Drivers can also be a bit impatient so walk carefully.
Getting Around
Public transport is 500 meters away at Argwings Kodhek Road beside Yaya Centre while Ngong Road is 900 meters away beside Prestige Plaza. Buses and vans will take you downtown within 20 to 30 minutes where other buses and vans can take you elsewhere.
Downtown Nairobi is 5.8 kilometers away (let's use the Hilton Hotel as a landmark...) We are definitely very conveniently located.
And for those who want a less colorful commute, we have many taxi driver friends whom we have known for many many years. They will give you very competitive rates for trips around town or for safaris upcountry like Hell's Gate National Park, Lake Naivasha, Lake Elementaita, Lake Nakuru National Park, the Masai Mara, Lakes Baringo and Bogoria, Mt Kenya National Park and so on.
And of course, Uber taxis are just a phone call away too.
Other Things to Note
We would advise you to complete all your profile verifications, especially your passport, before making inquiries with us and other airbnb hosts. :-) You get extra points in our estimation for that.
What else. Our compound is a family-friendly neighborhood.
We have a nice and honest cleaning lady who comes twice or thrice a week to clean, do the laundry, and ironing. We will gladly do your laundry/ironing too for an additional fee.
Nairobi being Nairobi, there has been a recent spate of robberies, (Nairobbery, as the joke goes), violence, etc. The usual precaution needed in any big city in the world plus more (this is Nairobi after all) is advised, e.g., don't flash your money or electronics, don't ever walk alone after sundown, be aware of your surroundings in crowded places, resist the ubiquitous ladies of the night and the sweet-talking streetwise hustlers, keep a clear head and you will be fine and have a great time. :-) Welcome to Nairobi!
We don't really have many household rules except those guided by common courtesy and respect, thoughtfulness and good sense:
1) Please, kindly remove your street shoes by the entry hallway and make use of our many house slippers. These are kept clean for each new guest.
2) The security in our compound is good and discourages any unannounced visitors you may wish to invite in our home WITHOUT our knowledge, presence, and consent. This is both for your security and ours. Remember, this is OUR home.
2) Please tidy up after yourself in all common areas like the kitchen, dining and living rooms as well as the bathroom and hall toilet.
3) Should you wish to cook or prepare a snack, we would be happy if you wash up afterwards, including all pots, pans, dishes, and utensils you used and give the stove and countertops a good wipe. :-) This is to discourage pests since we live on the ground floor.
4) Please refrain from eating and/or leaving food crumbs, dirty plates and utensils in your room lest ants and other much less desirable pests pay you a visit.
5) You may smoke outside in our secluded terrace and please remember to properly dispose of your cigarette butts afterwards.
7) Power outages are very common in Nairobi and rates have gone up considerably. All our lights use power-saving bulbs but please turn off main light in your bedroom if you're not there.
We usually turn on the water heater in the morning for some 20 minutes or so before the first person takes a shower. (We have this old-fashioned water heater aka "boiler" instead of "instant shower"). Normally there should be enough hot water for everyone already. Should you wish to shower in the evening after a hot and dusty day, kindly remember to turn off the water heater please after 20 to 30 minutes since it's a real power hog. :-)
8) This is our home too where we also do a lot of work (the downside of laptops and internet connectivity haha) and so the place does get a bit cluttered sometimes with work paraphernalia - papers, books, bags, power cords, etc. Plus the catsies must have their toys... We must all do our very best to tidy up after ourselves. :-)
9) Rule of thumb: Please don't do what you would not want others to do in your own home. :-)
Thank you!
A bottle of our best boiled tap water is always available in your room. :-) Alternatively, you can also buy bottled water from the nearby grocery stores.

Hot answers tagged a-team
These are a few episode starters I remember: People contact Amy/Tawnia because they heard that she is connected to the A-Team and want her to pass the message (after which Murdock sets up a meeting...) People put out an advertisement in the newspaper seeking for help and the A-Team responds People go to someone (which turns out to be Hannibal) who said ...
His name is never revealed, although according to the A-Team Wikia, the 2010 movie suggests that his first name is James. Furthermore, in S3E18 ("Road Games"), Hannibal calls Murdock 'Henry.' Despite these allusions to his real name, it is never definitively stated.
the initials H.M. were never explained in terms of what Murdock's actual first and middle name were, and the nickname "Howlin' Mad" were simply attributed to them (although it is rumored that his name comes from World War II Marine Corps General Holland M. Smith, aka "Howlin' Mad", a nickname given by his troops). Not even his driver's license reveals what "...
They must first meet with Mr. Lee, who is in fact Hannibal in disguise. This allows them to sort those who need help from those who may want to capture the team or just use them.
Let's do some sums. I can't find specs for the main gun, but a similar British Army 105mm light gun fires shells weighing 15.1kg at 709m/s. Using 1/2mv^2, that's 3.80MJ. Let's assume all of the energy from the firing went into the projectile when the tank was on solid ground, because that's the worst case - anything else would improve our chances of ...
Tank guns have the technology to compensate the Recoil of the fired shoot. This Wiki article is about recoil and mordern ways to compensate it. And this article is about the Muzzle brake - also to minimize the recoil. Both technics are straight against the fact that a fallen tank can be slowed down by shooting its gun. It would only start to spin around. ...
The physics at work here are compression waves and terminal velocity. Think of a large speaker cabinet. If you stand up a piece of paper a few feet away and put the volume of your stereo all the way up, the paper will be blown over. Much like Sonar, the compression waves move air toward an object. Now, to stop a steel tank, those waves would have to be ...
I think it's Henry Mack. As stated by the previous poster, at one point, Hannibal calls him Henry. Also, in season 2 episode 14, Murdock refers to himself as "Mack Murdock". Henry Mack "Howling Mad" Murdock.

From Our Editors
Eliana and Viviane Jardim grew up on the beaches of Brazil, and when they moved to the United States, they brought a little bit of the Brazilian sun with them. The business they opened, Samba Glow, specializes in personalized airbrush spray tans. Armed with a spray applicator, technicians apply either a clear solution that develops over the course of 8–10 hours or a bronzer that's visible right away. The DHA-based formula for each is free of harsh chemicals, preservatives, white tempera paint, and artificial fragrances, leaving room for certified-organic aloe-vera extracts, vitamin A, vitamin E, and various antioxidants that help leave skin firm and smooth. At their new Menlo Park location, the Jardim sisters decided to branch out into other beautification services—such as waxing and a full lash and brow bar—as well as retail, selling bathing suits and resort-wear designed to show off the tanning techs' handiwork.

Strong wind gusts may have played a role in snapping a cable that holds stoplights in place above the intersection of Highway 24 and Judge Orr Road. The broken cable damaged a car that happened to be passing through at an unlucky moment.
Suzan Scott says she and her sister were in the car at the time. When the cable hit, she says they thought the vehicle was going to flip over.
Witnesses say the car was lifted about 4 feet into the air.
"All of a sudden I heard a big crack! I saw the shadow of it, and I couldn't figure out what was going on," said Scott. "I heard it crack and then I go: 'What in the world was that?'"
CDOT is repairing the cable, because Highway 24 is a state-operated roadway. They can't know for certain if wind played a role in breaking the cable, but say it is a likely factor.
State Patrol has told Scott that they can't help with damage to the car. 11 News is trying to contact CDOT to find out if they'll be able to assist.

A blank NCAA Tournament bracket is nothing more than 63 unanswered questions. But hidden between the black lines in each of those thinning columns are hundreds of additional subquestions.
Here's a look at 10 such questions arising from this year's field of 64 teams.
Where is the place to be during the opening two rounds?
Since playing host to George Washington's forces after their famous trip across the Delaware River in 1776, Trenton, N.J., has been perhaps best known as one of the state capitals that plagues students in elementary school geography bees (unless -- like Samuel Alito, Dennis Rodman and Jon Stewart -- they are from there). But for college basketball fans, the city's Sovereign Bank Arena is suddenly a destination of choice for the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
From an intriguing first-round game between Dawn Staley's Temple team and Jen Rizzotti's highly regarded Hartford Hawks to potential second-round slugfests between Georgia and Temple and Rutgers and Texas A&M, the site promises some of the most hard-fought action of the first four days. Let the top seeds strut their stuff elsewhere; Trenton has the drama.
Could a team play spoiler in the controversial Cleveland Regional?
Absolutely. And the action in the Cleveland Regional has a chance to get heated long before the teams start thinking of field trips to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. North Carolina, Tennessee and Rutgers make this the most top-heavy region in memory, but it doesn't end with those three. Sprinkled through the region, teams like UCLA, Texas A&M and Old Dominion have noteworthy sleeper profiles.
Texas A&M, a potential second-round opponent, is precisely the kind of team Rutgers struggled against this season. The Aggies harass opponents for 40 minutes, forcing more than 22 turnovers a game while counting on point guard A'Quonesia Franklin to keep them from reciprocating with turnovers of their own. The Aggies don't have much reliable size in the post, but unless Rutgers freshman Kia Vaughn turns it on, that isn't as debilitating a factor against the Scarlet Knights as it is against other elite teams. In the end, a loss to West Virginia in the Big East quarterfinals might wind up saving Rutgers' season if it deprives Texas A&M of the element of surprise against a team too caught up in its own success.
In the other half of the region, UCLA looms as a potentially dangerous hurdle for North Carolina if (and it's a big if) the Bruins are able to escape a likely second-round encounter with Purdue on the Boilermakers' home court in West Lafayette. Much as Texas A&M has the right pieces to contend with Rutgers in a slugfest, perhaps no team seeded fifth or lower has the athletes to run with Carolina that UCLA does. Fans east of the Mississippi will cry about questionable Pac-10 defense, but the trio of Noelle Quinn, Lisa Willis and Nikki Blue is not as far removed from Ivory Latta & Co. as some might imagine.
Which other team has the best chance to knock off a No. 1 before the regional finals?
Doug Bruno's DePaul team, which had little trouble making the transition from Conference USA to the Big East this season, could make LSU pay for not being equipped to trade 3-pointers in a potential Sweet 16 game, but keep the closest eye on Ohio State as the Buckeyes make their way to Albuquerque.
In most instances, figuring out a way for the winner of the 8-9 game to challenge the top seed in the second round involves a list of hypotheticals longer than the last Harry Potter book and equally dependent on magic and charms. But in this region, it might only take a glance back to December, when Boston College pushed Ohio State all the way to overtime. And even if the Buckeyes -- who are admittedly a much better team now with Ashley Allen healthy -- get past the Eagles (or dangerous No. 9 seed Notre Dame), that still leaves a potential Sweet 16 showdown against Arizona State.
With the size of Kristen Kovesdy and 6-foot-6 freshman reserve Kirsten Thompson to battle Jessica Davenport inside, and the depth and defensive pressure to wear down the Buckeyes' backcourt, the Sun Devils could finish the job they nearly completed against No. 1 seed North Carolina in the Sweet 16 last season.
Will home cooking play a role in this year's bracket?
A No. 1 or No. 2 seed has exited the NCAA Tournament during the first four days of play just three times in the last four years (No. 7 Minnesota over No. 2 Kansas State in 2004 and, in 2002, No. 7 Old Dominion over No. 2 Purdue and No. 7 Drake over No. 2 Baylor).
And in a season when Rutgers went 16-0 in the Big East regular season and still found itself a No. 3 seed in the same region as the No. 1 overall seed, it seems as if the pool of elite teams has both expanded and distanced itself from the rest of the pack, making early upsets that much more miraculous. But a potentially hostile environment could make things interesting for Tennessee.
The Lady Volunteers took the loss of a No. 1 seed like Peter McNeeley taking a punch from Mike Tyson. Tennessee had a very legitimate case for a No. 1, but the tone of post-selection comments from both Pat Summitt and Shanna Zolman was still surprising in its disillusionment. On one hand, maybe the Vols take the perceived slight and rally around their coach. On the other hand, a team already weary from struggling with a lack of depth could come out sluggish after spending too many hours looking at the mess that could develop in Cleveland.
That might not matter against Army in the first round, but it would matter a great deal if Tennessee's second-round game in Norfolk involved hometown No. 10 seed Old Dominion. The Lady Vols handled the Monarchs early in the season, but that was in Knoxville with point guard Alexis Hornbuckle still healthy. With the crowd likely loudly supporting an ODU team that forces a lot of turnovers and keeps the game moving, Tennessee's short bench could be trouble.
On paper, the Volunteers should handle either Old Dominion or George Washington with ease. On paper, the three other No. 2 seeds should have smooth sailing, too.
So, who is the real favorite in Albuquerque
Ohio State and Big Ten fans won't like it, but it's probably Maryland. The Terrapins simply proved more in the regular season, with late wins against Duke and North Carolina, than Ohio State did by beating Oklahoma early in the season and beating up on the rest of the Big Ten in a down year for the conference. And although the Terps have to deal with defending champion Baylor in their half of the region, Brenda Frese's team still looks to have the easier road to the regional final in Albuquerque.
Which No. 3 seed has the best chance of making it to Boston?
Baylor might have a tough time making it back to the Final Four with Maryland and Ohio State around, but another team on the same seed line as the defending champ ended up with the best draw it could have hoped for. By landing in the same region as LSU and Oklahoma, No. 3 seed Stanford finds itself grouped with two contenders who rely as much on execution and post play as on simply overwhelming opponents with their athleticism. And Tara VanDerveer can deal with execution.
The Cardinal started slowly this season but seemed to find a groove after a tough loss to Arizona State on Feb. 16. In the two weeks leading up to Selection Monday, they beat NCAA-bound Washington and USC by a combined 60 points before dropping an overtime thriller to UCLA in the Pac-10 title game. With 6-3 Brooke Smith and the healthy return of 6-5 Kristen Newlin, Stanford is one of the only teams out there with the size inside to keep players such as Sylvia Fowles and Courtney Paris honest (if still not contained) on both ends of the court.
Who is the most overlooked player in the field?
All right, that's a loaded question coming off the last query. But Stanford's Candice Wiggins is all too often left out of discussions that involve names like Seimone Augustus, Ivory Latta, Cappie Pondexter, Candace Parker, Courtney Paris, Sophia Young and Monique Currie. All Wiggins did this season was average 21.2 points per game, doing so despite being the focus of every defense she played against.
And she did it while averaging more assists than Pondexter, as many rebounds as Augustus and both hitting more 3-pointers and shooting a better percentage from behind the arc than Latta. She even finished with just 11 fewer blocked shots than Young and she's 5-11. Say whatever you want about the Pac-10, but that's as dominating a statistical performance as we've seen in recent seasons.
Wiggins was terrific in a win against Connecticut in the Sweet 16 as a freshman, but it might take another stellar effort in March to get people to pay attention.
Which program is best positioned to make the leap to elite status?
Assuming that Maryland, despite its lack of Final Four appearances, either already has made the leap or is paused somewhere in midair, the best candidates might both reside in the Bridgeport region. A trip to the Sweet 16 for either Mickie DeMoss' Kentucky Wildcats or Staley's Temple Owls could cement a place in the game's upper echelon.
DeMoss' program might have a slight long-term edge based on the protection provided by competing in a major conference. Playing in the Atlantic 10 means the Owls will continue to struggle for national attention once they finish with Staley's typically intense nonconference schedule. Signing Carly Ormerod last year and highly regarded high-school prospect Arnika Brown this year suggests DeMoss is securing her in-state recruiting and can soon begin to compete for top national prospects.
For now, Kentucky's progress will be linked to holding off a dangerous Chattanooga team in the first round and potentially squaring off against Michigan State in the second. The Spartans made their own statement last season by advancing all the way to the national championship game, and a win for the Wildcats would give the program instant legitimacy and a showcase game against Duke (assuming the Blue Devils advance) in the Sweet 16.
Which conference has the most to prove?
The Pac-10 always has something to prove in March, but it's time for the Mountain West to prove it's more than a glorified mid-major. Not only did the conference receive four bids this season, but No. 5 seed Utah and seventh-seeded BYU are both favored by the seeding to win first-round games and No. 11 New Mexico and No. 11 TCU have fighting chances against Florida and Texas A&M, respectively. All this after the conference went just 1-3 in last year's NCAA Tournament.
The pressure is especially intense for Utah, which finished the season ranked 17th in the RPI despite just one nonconference win over a team going to the NCAA Tournament (at NC State) and a 3-4 record against the other NCAA-bound MWC teams.
Teams in the Mountain West receive some of the best fan support in the women's game, especially at places such as New Mexico, but the MWC receiving three at-large bids while schools like Western Kentucky and Indiana State head to the WNIT suggests it's time the conference send a representative beyond the first week of the tournament for the first time since the Lobos won two games on their home court in 2003.
Who is this year's Katie Feenstra?
The short answer is no single player can fill Feenstra's rather large glass slippers. The mammoth center gave upstart Liberty the kind of physical advantage teams with double-digit seeds almost never experience. Behind 6-8 Feenstra and the 3-point looks she created for her teammates, No. 13 seed Liberty advanced all the way to the Sweet 16 last season. This season, winning even one game would be a significant accomplishment for some stars playing under the radar.
Give UW-Milwaukee's Traci Edwards three more seasons and she might well be able to carry the Panthers to a Sweet 16. A first-round encounter in the Bridgeport region with Liz Shimek and No. 4 seed Michigan State is a tough assignment this year, but 6-2 Edwards is one of the most intriguing mid-major bigs. Just a freshman, she led UW-Milwaukee in scoring (16.2 ppg) and rebounding (10.2 rpg), including 21 points and eight rebounds against DePaul. And she showed enough versatility to rank third on the team in assists and post 43 steals.
When No. 12 seed Tulsa squares off against NC State in the first round, the Wolfpack's Tiffany Stansbury might not be the best post player on the court. Tulsa junior Jillian Robbins did it all for the Golden Hurricane this season, averaging 18.1 points, 13 rebounds, 2.9 steals and 2.3 blocks. Included in those averages were a 28-point, 22-rebound effort at Arkansas and an 18-point, 19-rebound game against Florida State. It might be asking a bit much for Robbins and Tulsa, making its debut in the NCAA Tournament, to beat a tough ACC foe, but they won't lose the game in the post.
And although she doesn't fit Feenstra's physical mold, Middle Tennessee State guard Chrissy Givens might be the player most capable of lifting a small school to first-round glory. The nation's eighth-leading scorer, wedged between Pondexter and Wiggins on that list, Givens paces a team that knows something about springing upsets in the NCAA Tournament (beating No. 4 seed North Carolina in 2004 and No. 5 seed NC State in 2005). She posted 24 points and nine rebounds in a loss to Georgia this season and had three double-doubles. Against a Utah team with somewhat dubious credentials for a No. 5 seed, Givens and the Blue Raiders could be giant killers once again.

Q: In past national elections, a political party asked my wife, a popular Brazilian actor (her nightly soap operas are seen in many countries) to be its TV spokeswoman, a highly paid job. The problem: Their politics could not be further from hers. She claims it is not she who would represent the party, but a persona she'd create. (She wouldn't give her name or make first-person statements.) I say she'd be widely recognized. If they ask her this year, should she do it? - Sean McIntyre, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
A: I'm not sure what your wife means by "a persona she'd create," but you clearly believe that were she to speak for the party, many people would infer that she also spoke for herself. And the party seems eager to associate itself not merely with a role of hers but also with who she is - not the Terminator but the Schwarzenegger. (I presume he is not your wife, although a soap career in Brazil might explain why he has abandoned the California governor's race.) And that is crucial: As an ethical matter, she must ask what the audience will assume about her televised pronouncements.
Because if it sounds as if it is she, not a persona, that voters would be responding to, your wife should not take the job. It would be dishonorable to espouse, and encourage others to embrace, views that she herself reviles. I'm not sure how to say this in Portuguese, but in English it's "lying for money" - or "advertising" (of the sort that uses a celebrity to pitch a product she does not truly esteem).
Were your wife an unknown actor, this would be a different matter. Then the party would be hiring her for her crisp diction and pleasant demeanor, not her implied endorsement. Likewise, an actor portraying a character in a commercial - for example, the wife who disdained the Clinton health plan but enjoyed crispy corn chips (or were those two separate ads?) - is understood to be playing a role, not offering a personal opinion. Still, even in this case, she should think twice about abetting a party she opposes. She'd be, if not unethical, at least unwise to promote candidates who hope to create a nation she disdains. That's why I'm not the spokesman for that new S.U.V. that runs on tobacco. That and my never having been asked. And its nonexistence.
Q: I often overhear people having confidential business conversations on their cell phones in public places - at an airport, on an airplane, at a coffee bar. What I hear can be useful in my job as an industry analyst. Must I try to ignore what is practically being shouted into my ear? (By the way, I would not use the information to trade stocks.) - Carter J. Lusher, Menlo Park, Calif.
A: You have no obligation to ignore a conversation held in public. Nor, in many cases, can you. There is no audio equivalent to averting your glance, no ear-lids you can discreetly close.
If someone expects to have a private phone conversation, he should hold it in private. A person yammering into a cell phone among a crowd of strangers has no claim to privacy. And it is not your responsibility to protect an inconsiderate fellow from his own foolishness.
While you shouldn't exploit someone's carelessness - if you saw a person drop his wallet, of course you'd return it - the prattling you overhear isn't a casual error on the same scale; it's willful and ongoing.
And while it would be considerate of you simply to walk away, that's often impossible, as train passengers, seated beside such jabbering yahoos, discover to their misfortune.
You are wise to abjure using such information to trade stocks, not because you risk violating insider-trading rules - this seems very unlikely, but you'd have to check with a lawyer to be sure - but because the misinformed gossip of strangers is even less reliable than the misinformed gossip of one's own broker.

A combination of busy and business. Busyness is to have more to do than you can handle.
We had better double the staff for the day after Thanksgiving, it will be the busyness day of the year.

Hello all,
Here is site techbusy.org Please tell me How is the theme?
Hello all,
Here is site techbusy.org Please tell me How is the theme?
I'm somewhat a fan of minimalistic designs so I kind of like it. There are some things I'd like to point out though:
1. All that red doesn't agree well with my eyes. I'm not sure if it's just my eyesight though.
2. I get a slight feeling of disorganization. Certain items feels like they've been simply thrown in there.
3. Ads... *shrugs*
I don't think it's too bad. It is simple and there is not much to distract you from your posts. I would maybe move your recent topic up to a higher, more visable place.
i agree about the red colour - i think it`s a little bit difficult for the eye (straining).
Besides i think it`s too "sharp" if you understand what i mean.
in general it`s not very "cosy".

Precatory Bean
How does Jequirity work?Jequirity bean contains abrin, which is toxic and prevents cells from growing or functioning normally. Jequirity might work as birth control by blocking ovulation in women and lowering testosterone levels and sperm count in men. It might also help eliminate certain bacteria, tapeworms, or the parasite that causes malaria. Jequirity bean also contains chemicals that might slow blood clotting, reduce swelling, and lessen allergies.
Are there safety concerns?Jequirity is LIKELY UNSAFE when taken by mouth. Jequirity contains a chemical called abrin. Abrin is a poison and can cause death, even at low doses. Symptoms of toxicity include stomach cramping, followed by severe diarrhea and vomiting that can become bloody. Other symptoms include a fast heart rate, as well as liver or kidney toxicity. Symptoms can happen within hours or appear up to several days later. Death can occur after 3-4 days of persistent stomach problems and other symptoms.
When seeds come in contact with the skin, they can cause inflammation, irritation, and severe eye problems.
Special Precautions & Warnings:While precatory bean isn't safe for anyone to take, some people should be particularly careful to avoid use.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Jequirity is LIKELY UNSAFE when taken by mouth during pregnancy or breast-feeding. Jequirity contains a chemical called abrin, which is a poison. Also, jequirity might cause labor to start. Avoid use.
Children: Jequirity is UNSAFE in children. Children are attracted to the bright colors of the seed, which is unfortunate, since children are particularly sensitive to the toxic effects of jequirity bean. Children can die after swallowing just one seed. If exposure to jequirity bean is suspected, get immediate medical assistance.
Bleeding disorder; Jequirity might slow blood clotting. In theory, this might make bleeding disorders worse.
Diabetes: Jequirity might lower blood sugar. Watch for signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and monitor your blood sugar carefully if you have diabetes and use jequirity.
Surgery: Jequirity might slow blood clotting or lower blood sugar. In theory, jequirity might increase the risk of bleeding and interfere with blood sugar control during and after surgical procedures. Stop using jequirity at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.

Linear referencing for Django
|Reported by:

|novalis, ckarrie@…
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
I created some patches to GEOS to do linear referencing. If you have a linestring (a bus route, say), and a point (a gps reading), and you want to find out where along the linestring the point is, you need linear referencing.
Here is a patch for Django which allows GeoDjango apps to use the new linear referencing code, when it is available. For now, you'll need SVN GEOS to test, but eventually version 3.2.0 of GEOS will be released and you'll be able to use the release version.

I want to see how the routing table changes on a Linux system, when an ICMP redirect is received. For that I use
icmpush -v red -sp current-gateway -gw new-gateway -dest google.com -c host -prot tcp my-eth1-ip-address
(which returns success), but the result of
route -n
remains the same. Of course I have checked the the output of
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/accept_redirects
which is 1. This is an Ubuntu 12 machine, with the last stable version of kernel, no firewall installed.
So the question: what could be going wrong?

It is a waste of time to mess with one that is already "sqishy" It is probably already discharged to a non-dangerous point and can be tossed and replaced.
Congrats on your flights and good...
You may just have to make an adapter if you are dead set on doing them in series. A better choice may be to do them in parallel.
To test the accuracy of the elites capacity reading multiply the current by the time. I bet money that it is accurate . I also bet money that the packs are all good too.
Interesting. I wonder how much a cubic yard of space is worth? I rent my air space really cheap. ;)
Is that over the max width for your state? Ohio is 8.5 feet max. 8 feet on county roads.
C means "capacity" and the number is a multiplier. It can a number of currents (amps) such as recommended charge rate , max charge rate , burst discharge rate , max constant discharge rate, ect. Most...
Perhaps the charts in this thread may help. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_11244080/anchors_11244080/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#11244080
Most all chargers work that way , and is a fault of the pack (capacity mismatch) and not the charger. I'm not aware of any charger that will balance on a discharge cycle. Perhaps some of the good...
SOD cannot be figured that way. 11.1 is nearly depleted. Perhaps you meant 10.8 volts as it is 0%. 70% charge shall be around 3.9-4.0 volts per cell and most recommend a storage of 3.85 volts/cell...
No point indeed. It is just a small cell. I wonder why the capacity was reduced to about half.
I agree that cold storage is the best. Many times in the hottest 2 months of Ohio I make sure that all the "extras" are in the fridge , but any that I fly regularly still stay in the garage. It's not...
It is out of balance and the cure is to "balance" it. Why it's out is anyone's guess. Perhaps it never was in balance?
Would a pair of these work for what you want to do? http://www.dimensionengineering.com/products/cellshield
NI cells will warm up when full. The voltage will also drop slightly. One thing is for sure, your 3800 pack should take 4 times as long as the 1100. ;)
You can do either one , and it is important that no one cell gets over or undercharged.
Many of us are exceeding the manufacturer's max rates on many lipos. I am not familiar with your specific batts , but many of mine are charged at 5-15 times the max rate listed on the pack. Each pack...
There is no limit (other than weight and size) ;)
Without knowing that brand, I'm guessing that it is a 45 amp ESC with a BEC built in. I'd goolge the specs on it and perhaps you will find it has a Max of either 3s or 4s for battery cells. Then...
That's probably normal for even brand new cells. If they are tested at the specs given by MFG then they should deliver the spec rating by MFG.
You can put any number of identical (capacity) packs together in series to make 8s. Like a pair of 4s packs OR a 6s and a 2s.
I'm using a 9x4.7 prop from HK that may be similar to the 9x4.5 SF. It is TGS for $1
I'm sorry I haven't gotten to the maiden yet (only have watt meter readings)
I could also send you a GP...

Perhaps we can tell another way instead of reading the SLT label?
As far as the TR624 rx goes , it isn't a big deal. I've not...

how is it that the republican's press release is so much better than the democrat's? how??? why???
Denial is a common trait of Red Bushies.
My guess is he's fine with it.
Pelz's remarks (including the bit about the Clinton impeachment) were directed at Giuliani, not Reichert. Giuliani was in fact cheating on his wife during the impeachment. His wife found out she was getting a divorce from a Rudy press conference.
Two phony macho blowhards who happened to hold office during a spectacular media event. Took all the credit, even though they didn't actually do anything to help. Even though their actions and policies before the event hindered actual work by on-the-street public safety workers. Supported blantantly corrupt appointees, then tried to dump the blame on their innocent successors for those creeps when they were caught.
A perfect pair! Giuliani-Reichert '08!
Fnarf @ 3,
Read it again Fnarf. Pelz's comment is directed a Reichert. He says: "The hypocrisy of Republicans like Reichert promoting Giuliani is enormous. The GOP tried to impeach a President for his personal affairs, at the same time Rudy Giuliani was cheating on his wife."
So, Reichert is supposedly a hypocrite for supporting someone who had an affair because the GOP went after Clinton. Again, Reichert wasn't part of that witch hunt. (Technically, anyway.) It's sloppy is all.
Actually, Fnarf, Rudy's cheated many times - but been caught thrice. Like all the other multiple offenders who call themselves GOP.
Hey I am against Rudy but the Democratic Party press release is lame.
Rudy is doing well in polls against Democrats because he says (a) we are at war with terrorists and the Democrats don't have an answer and (b) I can lead because I fixed up NYC.
The Democratic Party press release has no substantive response. They have no no real position, just make personal attacks based on a pseudo-adoption of right wing christian family values -- being against "cheating" or divorce.
Huh??? The Party of FDR and JFK is against cheating ???
How does it help Democrats or our nation to go around criticizing candidates for cheating & getting divorced? Is the Democratic party now for limiting divorce because breaking your vows shows character flaws?
Totally stupid gutter BS, the press release builds no message, no program, no policy. It's why many people just hate politics. If you can't attack Rudy on the issues, and there is plenty of reason to do so, just shut up.

Several plugins use the new common wordpress thumnail.
( like wpbook that help me to generate facebook fan page for this blog)
YAPB use this own attachment system.
I'm not an expert, so my question is to understand is that will be possible to create a plugin or to add a function that test the existence of an existing thumbnail in the post
Something like testing with has_post_thumbnail()
and to use the wp_insert_attachment() function ?
The goal will be to take advantage of existing functions and plugins around common wordpress thumnails
thanks for your feedbacks

Marrickville Council is located in Inner West Sydney and gets its name from the "Marrick†Estate which was granted to Thomas Chalder when the Europeans started settling in Australia. The owner of the Marrick Hotel on Illawarra Road, William Dean, is noted to have been the person responsible for adding the "ville" to Marrick when the suburb was marked out in 1861.
The Municipality includes the following suburbs: Camperdown, Dulwich Hill, Enmore, Lewisham, Marrickville, Newtown, Petersham, St Peters, Stanmore, Sydenham and Tempe.
The current Mayor of Marrickville Council is Councillor. Mark Gardiner is the Mayor of the Marrickville Council alongside 11 other Councillors of 4 wards. The Council website boasts Marrickville to contain "the highest percentages of artists, cultural workers and arts industries of any local government area in Australia." And that might well be true as in March 2011 they hosted the very first local arts tour – the Marrickville open studio trail (MOST) as well as a portion of Art month Sydney. The Sydney Fringe Festival is also held mainly here in Marrickville too.
Our removal and loading experts are able to cope with every probability so don't be afraid to ask! They have a lot of experience behind them and are trained in all elements of the storage process. They will arrive with all the equipment and materials necessary, wrap your items carefully and load them securely into the storage unit before driving them back to the warehouse where they will remain in safekeeping until you need them back.

I spent so much time researching (a good half a year)... I was looking for a machine to handle about an acre of lawn but would give me the flexibility to run other equipment like a snowblower, and some pull equipment like a tine harrow (for a gravel driveway). I have some trees and a few smaller hills.I have owned the machine since June of this year and really had no intention of writing a review. However, every once in awhile you run into product where it becomes clear the designers had a magical moment and actually built a better mouse trap, so to say. Here are a few things that this mower does better than anything I have ever used (and I have been a professional landscaper and designer in the past and used nearly everything out there):- Handles hills wonderfully. I took it over a buddy's house to help him install his lawn by using my harrow to grade and rake the soil. He has enormous hills and the tractor handled them very well even pulling the heavy time harrow. This mower handles hills like a mountain goat. I found it very challenging to keep a zero turn going straight when crossing a hill. The front end wants to drop requiring constant correction. The same thing happens with traditional riders only worse as correction is often not possible. With its AWD, this rider just mows across hills effortlessly. The AWD makes up and down hills actually enjoyable with little or no risk of slip and seemingly unlimited power.- No trimming (zero). I use a Roundup type vegetation killer around my trees a couple times a year (careful not to spray the leaves on the smaller plants) and with the 11" turning radius trimming is a thing of the past. In fact, I use the vegetation killer to create about a 5" strip (barrier) around any stationary object in the yard and get a beautiful professional edge whether needing straight or natural lines along beds and structures. The front mounted deck is the final piece to having a zero trim lawn. I can scoot directly up to objects that can't be reached from the side. A zero turn or tradional rider just can't because the mid-mounted deck.Great handling:. I know zero turns usually have great transition between forward and reverse but this articulating mover is just as smooth with its foot peddles. The auto breaking feature makes for a nice slow down if used gently and the transition into reverse is smooth as silk. Using reverse is so fast and efficient, I find myself sometimes backing up even when I could do a 365 degree turn. This flexibility has allowed me to mow using diagonals and other directions to keep cutting angles variable from week to week.In the end, Huskvarna didn't invent anything new with this mower. Front mounted, rear engine, rear turn mowers have been around for decades. What Huskvarna did accomplish was to put a mower with these qualities within reach of any homeowner that was willing to purchase a rider in the first place.

Love it....!
By DadTheGreat
from Spring Lake, Michigan
I was looking for a zero turn tractor that could have additional uses....I stumbled upon this model and although it's not zero turn...it's close enough for my purposes.I purchased the snow thrower attachment with the concern that it's a simple single stage unit. It worked very well this 1st year here in Spring Lake Michigan. We received a record snow far, well over 100 inches. My drive is 14' wide and well over 900' long. I also cleared the a second drive that was longer, but more narrow. No problems...however I did learn that you cannot go flat out full speed. You need to have the throttle full, however cannot go full speed. If you do you smell the belt slipping.Cutting grass is a dream, however I like my grass taller than most and have it set as high as possible. I have a hill that has a 30 degree slope that it handles very well however I feel that it would tip over with much more of an angle.Generally the steering is fine, however it does take a little to get use to it. My Wife can handle it after only a few minutes of complaining.

Make sure your dealer is Briggs certified before you buy...
By Mags
from Undisclosed
Overall it's a nice machine, but I'd recommend anyone shopping for this type of rider to make sure their dealer of choice is equipped / trained to work on Briggs engines.I found out the hard way that being a certified Husqvarna dealer means nothing if you have an (Briggs# engine related issue, they can't even supply you with an air filter, let alone repair it. Mine developed power issues towards the end of last season so for this season I wanted to get it looked at and that was a no-go from my local dealer and they referred me to 3rd party service locations.The Briggs engine takes a lot of cranking to get started #compared to Honda units I use).

Neighbors said it couldn't
By TracyB

Mowed my acre lot first time today. Have several areas with 20 degree inclines. Took two hours and results were perfect. Mowed up and down inclines, never across. Plenty of power.Surprised that I have to choke to start, no matter how warm but unit is brand new.

Love the 45 seconds it takes to move the deck to service...
By RJKE
from St. Henry
I purchased the Husqvarna 155 new 5 years ago and then two years ago I sold it to my neighbor. The reason I sold it was because I wanted a small lawn tractor with a loader etc., Well that lawn tractor had a belly deck and I hated the process of removing the deck to get to the blades. Also I mulch my lawn so I mow high and often. With the belly deck you run over the grass first before you cut it, unlike the Husqvarna. I asked my neighbor to buy my old 155 back and of course he liked it so well he would not sell it back. I then found a 322T awd for sale with only 12 hours on it. I purchased it and love it. I think the upgrade to the awd is worth it because it has the twin cylinder engine and runs smoother and is quieter. The only thing missing on this mower is power steering but it is not too bad. I keep the tires aired up and that eases the steering. I was just used to power steering with my other mower. I kept my other lawn tractor for use in my woods and spreading mulch but plan to sell the belly mower deck.

Fantastic value!
By DrDrew4u
from Johnson City
Just mowed the lawn for the last time this year. I love this mower. I live on a very steep lot with many obstacles. I researched many different mowers for several months before buying this mower. Considered a 4-wheel drive Kubota and also a 4-wheel drive John Deere. They were both thousands of dollars more than the AWD R322t! My Husqvarna rider is more maneuverable, gets better traction and uses less fuel than the Kubota or John Deere.I decided to purchase the CombiClip 110 (41in) deck with rear discharge. I would recommend the somewhat smaller deck without the side discharge. It allows you to cut right up to mulch beds or trees on either side of the cutting deck without worry about spraying the clippings into the bed or out into the street.I was not able to find any competitor that offers a cutting deck that tips up for cleaning and maintenance. This feature is wonderful for getting your cutting deck really clean before putting the mower back in the garage. I have to believe the cutting deck will last longer because of this feature.You do not need power steering on this machine. The cable steering is smooth and responsive without being too jarring on your arms. My wife can easily and safely operate this mower.The seat needs a longer rail adjustment. I am not a huge guy (5ft10in tall with ave. build) and I am somewhat cramped on the seat. Not uncomfortable, but would have been easy to add a couple more inches to the seat rails.Overall, a fantastic value! I challenge anyone reading this review to find more mower for the money than the R322t. If you find a better value I want to know what it is. I can't imagine a better combination of features and abilities for the cost. Nice job Husqvarna.

This is an amazing mower!
By GG77
from Lake Huntington
I have owned this mower for less than a month and love it. I don't get stuck or hung up on anything. I can also mow where I never could before. It is so easy to clean the deck. I spent a little more than I had wanted to, but would do it again. I look forward to trying the snow blower.

Good rider for hills and obstacles
By anrbob
from Crestwood, KY
I finally got my R322T with a 48-inch side discharge deck the other day. After having a heck of a time getting the drive belt on, I was able to get in my first mow.PROS: It can handle my hill with ease. I was even able to mow a circle around a small tree that is located on the steepest side of the hill (I know, not the smartest thing to do, but I wanted to put it through as much as possible to see what it can do). It does tend to slow down a bit going uphill on the steepest portions, but that is fine with me. Also, I was able to run the mower parallel with the hill. There is definitely some leaning, but I never felt too uncomfortable and it felt much more stable than a garden tractor. Going downhill is fine, just some getting used to (slow and steady wins the race).I will have to figure out how to properly adjust the deck, but the initial cut was still very nice. I even had some professional landscapers (mowing the neighbor's house) tell me that my mower was very interesting and the cut looked awesome. It only bogged once when I tried to run over a massive clump of clippings.Cutting around trees and tighter areas is great. I can see where I want to go and as long as I take it a slow, I can get around almost anything I want. I am able to get to areas I know a ZTR or a garden tractor would never be able to get.I love the fact that can have the mower blades still run when going in reverse.CONS: Nothing too big, but going in reverse with an articulating AWD mower is definitely taking some time to learn. This issue isn't bad for a simple back-up on the ground, but when I am trying to come off a trailer with a steep ramp, it's almost like trying to direct a go cart with a trailer attached.Another thing is the lack of power steering. I have absolutely no problem with it (since it as AWD, it sometimes feels like I do have power steering), but I can see it maybe being a problem for some.The owner's manual is very vague about some aspects, like putting the drive belt on. After some searching, I managed to download an exploded-view parts list off the Husqvarna website since the manual didn't come with one.The cutting height adjustment has a scale of 1-10, but it is not in any defined measurement like inches or centimeters. It's a guessing game as to how high you are cutting.My first cut; while learning all the controls and figuring out the lay of my land, it took me about 1.5 to 2 hours for my 1.1 hilly, bumpy, obstacle filled, high grass lot. I am sure after a few more mows I will be able to get it around an hour or under.So far, I am pretty pleased with my purchase. I have yet to use the flip deck option due to the belt was so hard to get on. Hopefully, over time, the belt will loosen up and I can start cleaning out the deck with some ease.
