This was our 3rd stay, and we're still impressed with the level of service. Housekeeping was courteous and were able to provide technical help on amenities like the coffee machine, internet connection etc. Despite being around for a while already, the hotel still feels new. Excellent location, not too crowded. 2 Thumbs up for the housekeeping team!
Comfort and amenities and location. Taxi quay at the doorstep, bus stop very near, and MRT a short walk away. Arrived at 1am after a long day of travel. We were in Checked in quickly and cordially. It was great.Bed and bedding. Minibar. Bath towels. Used the pool. Very nice. Nice towels. Quick and efficient. No issues.
Very strategic place for me, for shopping. I like RP because the location, free wifi, free minibar, clean.
Comfortable, safe, clean environment and convenient location. It's a nice experience in RP, thank you!
Hospitality and services. Less waiting time and excellent check in services. Very comfortable and excellent amenities. Overall, have a pleasant and memorable stay.
Value for money and proximity to orchard rd.Quick and no fuss. Bravo on clean bathroom, esp. the shower.
The location was excellent.The service and amenities were first class,along with the staff. Recommend highly for couples for a holiday as central to everything. Nothing we didn't like.
Facebook page is brilliant, got a response almost immediately and concerns addressed.
If you are traveling for business alone, this is an ideal hotel. Very near the mrt, lots of taxi, clean rooms and has good service. There's even free coffee to go if you are queueing for a taxi.
Once you get back to this hotel after office hours, just step out and you won't get lonely. Shopping is just outside, so many options of places to eat. Everything is just walking distance.
Even if you decide to just stay in your room, you can drink your free beer/drinks from the mini bar or enjoy good coffee which you can make from your single serve espresso maker while enjoying your free wifi.
And also, this is I think one of the 2 hotels in Singapore which are halal certified. Good for some. But for those who cannot live without bacon for breakfast then don't take the additional promo price for inclusion of breakfast buffet inyour daily hotel rate.
Thanks to another Agoda special, my fiance and I were able to spend a long weekend at the Royal Plaza on Scott, my favorite Singapore Hotel. This well appointyewd, well maintained hotel is perfectly loacged for anyone who wants to hit the main shopping and eating areas around Orchard St. The big shopping malls are literally on your door step. Above all of this is the friendly and helpful service from the great staff.
Location to main shopping district and transport. Check-in was quick and all information was provided regarding the room and services. Questions regarding singapore were answered promptly and other options offered which made the trip more enjoyable. Checkout was prompt.
Booked the Royal Plaza on Scott for 6 days for my first holiday in Singapore. It's location is perfect with easy access all forms of transport (mrt, buses, shuttles), orchard rd and restaurants.
The staff were helpful and their suggestions made our day trips all the more enjoyable. The rooms were always clean and the daily topup at the mini bar came in handy after a long day of shopping and sightseeing.
Would definitely stay here again on my return to Singapore.
Location near Orchard Rd. Foyer was beautiful. Staff extremely friendly and well presented. Staff helpful.
My husband and I stayed here for 1 night in September. The hotel was clean, including the room. Room was a decent size, nice bathroom, modern. Hotel is situated in an excellent location just off Orchard Road. The metro is only a couple of minutes walk. We would definitely stay here again when we come to Singapore next time.
In my reviews I don't often rave about evey aspect of a hotel, but in this case we were more than satisfied. Our early arrival was accomodated immediately and they were happy to help us out with our late departure. We were litterally picked up at the entrance of the plane and wipped through customs. I wish I could take the cussions in the room. They were super cumfortable. Large rooms with a big shower and bathroom. Airconditioning in Singapore is very important at it worked 100%. Breakfast was adequite, but we would have enjoyed some bacon and pork sausages, but in Singapore pork is a no-no. GO TO THE ROYAL PLAZA ON SCOTTS when you vist Singapore. Lastly, location, location were spot on.
Great location, easy access to many amenities. It was a wonderful surprise to have a birthday card and cake from the hotel for my birthday - unexpected and fully appreciated. Will definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family travelling to Singapore. Thank you for a wonderful stay at Royal Plaza at Scotts.
A Great Centrally located hotel. Close to Orchard Road shopping and restaurants. Also rail and hop on/hop off bus. Staff were exceptional and nothing was too much trouble. Good sized, well serviced room. Included a Nespresso Coffee Machine and mini bar which were complimentary and topped up each day. Would be only too happy to stay here if we visit Singapore again.
The service and attention to detail to make your stay memorable and enjoyable is brilliant. The position of the hotel provides easy access to all other areas of Singapore.
All The staff were friendly and efficient. The room was spacious clean and quiet and had tea making facilities. We included breakfast in our booking and found the breakfast buffet of an excellent standard. The buffet dinner was also excellent but watch as price varies between weekdays and weekend. The hotel is close to the main shopping centre on Orchard road. The pool and gym were adequate. We liked the fact that this hotel was an independent one rather than part of a chain. We would certainly use this hotel again
Very good location and wonderful staff who go out of there way to be friendly and accomodating. Very friendly staff who made this trip great. Thank you!

Lifetime Adapting Brian Stelter's 'Top of the Morning' as TV Movie
UPDATED: Liz Gateley and Tony DiSanto will executive produce via their Diga Vision banner, and are in negotiations with writers on the telepic about the rivalry between "Today" and "Good Morning America."
Brian Stelter's Top of the Morning is getting the Lifetime treatment.
The female-skewing cable network is in early development on an original TV movie based on the morning news tome from the former New York Times writer. Liz Gateley and Tony DiSanto will executive produce the telepic through their Diga Vision. The company currently is in negotiations with writers for the project.
The buzz-worthy book was published in April 2013, and met with mixed reviews. As part of the reporting process, Stelter, who recently moved to CNN as host of Reliable Sources, spent much of his time consumed by morning news coverage, with a heavy focus on Ann Curry's short-lived stint as co-host of Today and the high-profile rivalry between Today and now top-rated Good Morning America.
Gateley and DiSanto decided an adaptation would be of appeal upon returning from the annual A&E producers offsite earlier this year. "We were looking at the success of Vikings and The Bible [on History], and knowing that Nancy Dubuc had taken over Lifetime not that long ago we thought what could be their big factual movie that's big in pop culture now," says Gateley, who was reading the numerous GMA/Today news stories as well as Stelter's book at the time. The pair struck a deal with Stelter and brought Morning to Lifetime.
The producers say they have given little thought to casting, but hope that the film can have the same kind of cultural resonance as HBO's hit telepic Game Change, also set in the recent past. What DiSanto and Gateley are adamant about is their respect for the morning show process as well as the product. "We're friends and colleagues with a lot of people involved in this world and our intention to sensationalize or slam anyone or place blame anywhere. It's more to tell a fair and illuminating story," says DiSanto, with Gateley noting that Today is not only a personal favorite but also part of her daily routine.
Added Stelter in a statement provided to THR: "I'm thrilled Lifetime saw this story as an opportunity and personally can't wait to see who is cast."
For Diga, the Morning adaptation marks a reunion at Lifetime, where the former MTV execs produced unscripted series My Life is a Lifetime Movie. Other projects from the three-year-old pop culture-focused production company include MTV's Teen Wolf, Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life, History's I Love the 1880s and an upcoming scripted adaptation of horror pic Scream at MTV.

Thinking that image maps are such a basic building block of web design I looked for options - and there are very few. I looked at a couple before selecting this extension. It does everything it says on the box and then some. Incredibly simple to use.
I did have some jQuery issues - I'm using a RocketTemplate theme and there were some conflicts - but the amazing support sorted things out in a friendly and speedy manner (thanks, Ruth!).
The site is bilingual English/Spanish - so I was a little worried about this - needn't have been - it was a single drop down click in Falang!
Shame there are only five stars....
Thank you for your review, it's always lovely to receive such positive feedback! Looking forward to seeing the finished site!
In no time at all I've integrated it into my twitter account - and tomorrow I'm going to look at how to get it working with facebook.
I had one tiny issue - there was a conflict with Artio SEF. I can tell you that, not because I figured it out - but because I sent a support ticket and got a reply - complete with a fix AND an explanation in about 2 hours (and - this made me smile - an apology for the delay in responding!)
I cannot rate the support highly enough and from what I can see on the back end - this extension will do everything I'm ever going to need and then some.
If you are looking at the options (and I have struggled with a couple of others in the past) you can simply stop looking. For once an extension that does exactly what it says on the box - Easy and Blog

The 'subversive adult Disneyland' where iPods track your every move
David Walsh invented what he calls "a money mine", and when he decided to spend some of its contents on an art gallery, he gave his IT team more than four years to provide the best visitor experience of any museum in the world. That team now rates their work on the gallery as a "dream project", thanks to Walsh's no-compromises …
Looks like an impressive place.
I agree that iPod touch WiFi is extremely 'stable' - mine have such a consistently poor reception compared to all of the other devices I own that I can always rely on them for 'worst case scenario' WiFi surveying on sites.
Re: Wow
Imagine something like this as an educational display for children, perhaps minus the dead kitten and plus some science?
I'm having goveitus (an affliction that affects mainly middle aged maths teachers forced to teach content that was dated 30 years ago). We seem to be focussing everything on classrooms with teachers in them. Perhaps a different approach to education might be better, including technology like this...
Tasmania !!!
It'll be a while until I save up the readies to visit something that far away !
Re: Tasmania !!!
The next development will be 'immersive telepresence'; so you don't need to travel to 'see' it.
How come bit.fall never mentions pron?
Does your loyalty card have an RFID tag too, so the shop can track you as you move around the store and little speakers can address you by name to suggest things you bought before?
Seems like the next logical step, if it hasn't been taken already.
Re: Shopping!
It's the 'little speakers' that needs to be addressed - maybe a display on the trolley handle that shows you where to get your 'favourites' and 'specials'. speakers would become a bit of a pain.
But there's still Jeff Noon's Blurbflies . . .
Seriously? Theyvgo to all this effort and spend all this money then put it on ipods?
I imagine they present all the people being physically sick from having to touch embarrassing apple gear as part of the art?
What MONA really needs...
...is a Lisa display.
Yeah, yeah I've already got my coat. Gone.
What we really need to know...
... is what "MOFO" is supposed to stand for.
Re: What we really need to know...
MOFO is short for MONA FOMA (festival of musical art), currated by Brian Ritchie of the Violent Femes.
I want one of those word waterfalls. Surprised one of the big London stores hasn't used one for their Xmas window display. Perhaps they could make it interactive like the David Černý figures in Prague (NSFW) - with audience SMS messages written into water.
I also LOLed at the iPod claims (they really have rubbish wifi, and I took "there's no Android device at this price point" to mean none are that expensive). But, it's hard to argue with results if they had 1300 of them running on opening night and didn't have it all fall apart. I'm not even into art, but if this museum wasn't so far away I'd go to it.
Re: Yeah...
For all the eccentricity of the art, choosing iPods as the delivery device is a classic example of a sound enterprise IT decision. Walsh may have made his money through "gambling", but not in the sense most people understand it.
You have to consider where Android was at 6 years ago when this project commenced. Even assuming a platform switch a year before opening were realistic, find me an iPod sized Android tablet that was on the market in early 2010. What were the specs and price point of that device, assuming it existed? Sitting in 2010 and using your crystal ball, what would you think the likelihood is that you could buy the same device (or another device with hardware specs, drivers, interfaces, and OS that would reliably run your custom app and hardware) in 3/6/12/24 months time? Consider the complexity of supporting multiple different OS and app versions, quite apart from whether it still fits in your custom charging station. Remember the furore from Apple changing the iPod connector this year after it stayed the same for 8 years? Until not so long ago, many vendors changed the connector design with every iteration, and even since standardising on micro USB you're still lucky if the port is in the same place on the next device version).
Having been to MONA, the devices aren't flawless - as another poster mentioned, you often have to select from a list of numerous artworks to find the one you're looking at. This would be a limitation of the number of active RFID devices in the walls as much as in the device itself. I also found them a bit of a distraction from the exhibits.
Definitely worth the side-trip to Tas if you happen to be in Australia
I've been to MONA twice now (fortunate enough to live locally), and it is an exceptional space to view art in. Not all of the art will be to your taste, or even David Walsh's taste! The iPod thingy gives you some notes and thoughts from Walsh on some of the pieces, and even where he disagrees with his curator.
Some of the pieces are deeply pretentious, and these may have the joyous "Artwank" entries on the iPod.
And finally - and I admit to being deeply partisan here - Walsh commissioned Damian Cowell (ex-TISM Australian wordsmith par excellence) to write an albums-worth of songs for works that caught his fancy. So certain pieces you can listen to a song about them while you ponder the art. (The DC3 - 2011 - Vs Art) This item is not available in the shops, as part of the deal was that performing rights reside with MONA. You get the CD free with a copy of the (costly!) MONA catalogue.
Nice idea but...
I find the O device a bit frustrating because you are often looking at an artwork and want to know something about it. You press the button to determine your location and then need to scroll through a list of nearby artworks and try to see if the photos on the device matches what you are looking at. Sometimes the location isn't detected correctly.
If we really must give up on wall plaques then I would prefer something where you can just scan (eg via a barcode) the artwork you are looking at so it goes straight to the info. After a while I just get a sore neck from looking down at the device and look around without information instead...
"Old and New Art"
Or, in summary, "Art". But I see they're not into economizing.
Even had a song written about it
This song was written about the artwork with the words from Google
Invented a gambling system that  works
Title says it all.
Re: Invented a gambling system that  works
i.e. play only when the odds are in your favor. Unfortunately there are a lot of people not so well gifted, including the former owner of the loverly little area that has now become the eyesore that is 'Mona'
Full points to the guy for setting up a 'Mona', but I couldn't stomach doing stuff that he has.
OT They're back
I refer to the whiny, confrontation avoiding nonentity who insists on down voting every post I make.
I guess you worked up a script to do it. Could any human be that anally clenched to waste their time?
Well done you. You must be so proud of yourself.
Have I offended you in some way? Hold opinions you don't agree with? Replied to you in a way you found hurtful? None of that's going to change unless you communicate with me instead at me.
I doubt you will contact me. Despite probably being several thousand miles away from you and incapable of offering any physical threat to you you're still too scared of that much communication with another human being.
I'm not angry or impressed, just bored. That you make me your target just shows how pathetic you are.
Fail because that is what you are.
A kitten pelt? Really?
Someone must be a Dwarf Fortress fan. I guess we should be glad he didn't boil it into a Kitten Leather Left Gauntlet and make kitten-bone totems for trade goods and kitten roasts to go with them.

Rear-End Collision and Subsequent Vehicle Intrusion
Into Pedestrian Space at Certified Farmers Market
Santa Monica, California
July 16, 2003
NTSB Number HAR-04/04
NTIS Number PB2004-916204
PDF Document(1MB)
On July 16, 2003, about 1:46 p.m. Pacific daylight time, a 1992 Buick LeSabre, driven by an 86-year-old male, was westbound on Arizona Avenue, approaching the intersection of Fourth Street, in Santa Monica, Los Angeles County, California. At the same time, a 2003 Mercedes Benz S430 sedan, occupied by a driver and front-seat passenger, was also westbound on Arizona Avenue and had stopped for pedestrians in a crosswalk on Fourth Street at the intersection with Arizona Avenue. The Buick struck the left rear corner of the Mercedes, continued through the intersection, and drove through a farmers market, striking pedestrians and vendor displays before coming to rest. As a result of the accident, 10 people were fatally injured, and 63 people received injuries ranging from minor to serious. The Buick driver and both Mercedes occupants were uninjured.
The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probable cause of this accident was the failure of the Buick driver to maintain control of his vehicle due to his unintended acceleration. Contributing to the severity of the accident was the lack of a barrier system to protect pedestrians in the Santa Monica Certified Farmers Market area from errant vehicles.
The major safety issues discussed in this report are the unintended acceleration of the accident vehicle, the adequacy of temporary traffic control measures for the protection of pedestrian traffic in the Santa Monica Certified Farmers Market, and the need to equip motor vehicles with event data recorders.
As a result of its investigation, the Safety Board made recommendations to
the Federal Highway Administration, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
and the city of Santa Monica.

SACRAMENTO (AP) - Assembly Speaker Karen Bass says Democrats
will put a budget up for a vote Sunday even though they haven't
reached a compromise with Republicans or the governor.
Bass says she feels compelled to put a spending package up for a vote before the filing deadline to get a measure on the November
ballot. The Secretary of State says technically, that deadline is
Bass says Democrats will propose to raise income taxes to bridge California's $15.2 billion deficit rather than a 1 percent sales tax they were negotiating with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The plan is expected to contain a rainy day fund but not a hard spending cap Republicans would like.
Schwarzenegger spokesman Matt David says the governor won't sign
a budget that doesn't include some spending reforms.

National Spot Exchange Ltd (NSEL) promoter Jignesh Shah on Tuesday submitted bona fides before the Forward Markets Commission (FMC) in response to a showcause notice on the �fit and proper� status of Shah and others to continue as promoter of MCX.
�It was important that we submit our bonafide. You know that all of us have resigned and I told, categorically, that I want to see this exchange grow from a distance. This I have communicated at the time of my resignation also,� Shah said after meeting FMC chairman Ramesh Abhishek.
Though FMC and Jignesh Shah refused to reveal the content of the bona fide, sources said it is similar to what Shah had submitted to the FMC on October 31.
�In the bona fide, Financial Technologies board has pointed out that the showcause notice which the FMC had issued to them was too premature since the investigations are still on,� said a source.
FTIL has said the allegations related to NSEL are not even adjudicated and an order should not be passed based on the showcause notice on the �fit and proper� status. It is learnt they have also sought a cross examination of forensic audit of FTIL by Grant Thornton. The FTIL group also said the FCRA guidelines are without jurisdiction.
�One day, India will deliver world�s No 1 commodity exchange which we could build it up to No 2 in the world � one dream which remained unfulfilled. Secondly, development of SME exchange for India will also happen. These two dreams I would like to see from a distance,� Shah said.

Minnesota coach Jerry Kill was taken off the field on a stretcher at halftime of Saturday afternoon's game against Western Illinois in Minneapolis.
Kill has epilepsy and he has a long history of game-day seizures. He was lying on the ground, writhing back and forth with medical staff surrounding him right after the Gophers left for the locker room.
The university said later that Kill was at home and resting two hours after the game.
Kill has worked with doctors to bring his seizures under better control with medication, rest, nutrition and exercise, but the stress of a game day is hard to avoid.
Kill suffered a seizure in the locker room at halftime last November against Michigan State, his third documented episode during a game at Minnesota since taking over in 2011.

New Product Arriving in the US - Zen Wrap!!!
4 comments:
Meh. I am not a fan. it looks like a frumpier version of a very popular aritzia cardigan/wrap that was selling this winter. The loose fabric kinda gets in the way of things. But to each their own!
- March 25, 2010 at 11:23 PM
It looks alot like the oasis wrap but possibly this one has longer ties. And whats with the slit in the back, is that where you "hide" the knot when you wrap it and tie it in the back? Can't wait to hear the feedback on this...I am a big wrap fan, but not too sure about this one...

Mirror shards are a great way to liven up a mosaic. If you enjoy craft projects, then a Moroccan-style table top or wall panel---using colored tiles interspersed with pieces of broken mirror---is a good way to add interest to a sun-room.
Mirror Ideas
Mirrors have long been used to brighten up a home by bringing in more light and sparkle. Hang a large, plain mirror and you immediately create a magical "through-the-looking-glass" effect. However, there are a number of ways to use mirrors more imaginatively throughout your home. You can use mirrors outdoors to add mysterious "rooms" and beckoning pathways to a small yard or garden. Even broken, mirrors can be put to good use in craft projects.
Mosaic Mirrors
Antique Mirrors
Old, spotted mirrors provide Old World charm. They are perfect for adding a Gothic touch to an interior. Collect old mirrors at flea markets and yard sales. Hang them in groups and in corners to create a cloudy, time-worn elegance. Do not worry about try matching the frames; mismatching plain and ornate mirrors is the epitome of shabby-chic.
Frame Decorating
Where mirrors are used in a themed room---such as a sea-shore inspired bathroom---decorating a plain mirror frame using sea shells, sea glass and small bits of driftwood will add to the seaside charm.
Mirroring a Window
Create a window effect by using a simple window frame in front of a large mirror. Fix a shelf beneath and put lots of plants on it. This works with large mirrors or small, and provides a glimpse into another world.
Mirrors in Unlikely Places
Add stick-on mirror tiles to walls in dark closets, pantries and cupboards to bring in light. Place a photo-framed mirror behind a lamp to increase light in a room. Use mirror tiles as place mats and coasters to bring sparkle to a festive dining table. Make sure they are made of safety glass, to prevent accidents. Brighten a dingy hallway by fixing mirrors to the ceiling to create a "skylight" effect.
Reflections in the Garden
Using mirrors in yards and gardens is magical. Large rectangular mirrors placed upright on walls can lead the viewer into thinking there is another garden beyond. Making a path toward the mirror heightens the effect. You can create windows in fences and on dull walls, which reflect and enhance the features of your yard. Keep them in shady places or the strong reflected light can damage plants.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Hello, Sam--
Just want to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin in Spencer, NY. You were right when you said that it would have everything we needed to be comfortable. We were very impressed with how well organized everything was and appreciated the labels on the drawers and cabinets. The handmade quilts added to the charm of the interior. It was indeed very comfortable.--Besides all that, my grandkids loved skipping rocks across the pond, and the view from the cabin was great!
Best regards,

AirTunes, wireless iTunes music streaming; iTunes 4.6 coming soon
MacMinute reports that "Apple today introduced AirPort Express, "the world's first 802.11g mobile base station that can be plugged directly into the wall for wireless Internet connections and USB printing, or thrown into a laptop bag to bring wireless freedom to hotel rooms with broadband connections." Airport Express also features analog and digital audio outputs that can be connected to a stereo and new AirTunes music networking software that wirelessly streams music to any room in the house. AirPort Express features a single piece ultra-compact design weighing 6.7 ounces, and will be available to Mac and PC users in July for US$129. AirTunes requires the next version of iTunes (iTunes 4.6), which is expected to be available later this week as a free download."

I think Apple is emphasizing wireless too much that it's misleading people. YOU STILL NEED WIRES TO PLAY THIS ON YOUR STEREO.
If you don't have a wireless card reader on your PC or a wireless router in your home, you'll need wires to connect it to your network.
Soooo, since I don't own a wireless router, I still would need to run an ethernet cable to whichever outlet I was plugging the AirPort into. Correct me if I'm wrong…

this is sweet….......
Posted by toothpaste in NYC on June 7, 2004 at 2:14 PM (CDT)
For those that didn't read the spec, it does act as a router, so you don't need an Airport Extreme. But it can also act as an extender if you already have one. any Mac or PC computer with 802.11b or 802.11g will be able to connect up to AirPort Express's networks.
Posted by Starboard on June 7, 2004 at 2:16 PM (CDT)
>>Also, its got a US plug… can that plug be quickly swaped for a UK version? Can it handle the different voltage?
One of the great design decisions that Apple has made is to make the "prongs" interchangeable. If I'm not mistaken this is not only with the iPod adapter but all the laptop, etc. adapters as well. All you would need to do is buy one of the world adapter kits which has a bunch of different attachments that replace the prongs on the US version.

So if I have a mac and no wireless stuff what so ever, what do I need along with this to get it to run to my living room, an airport card in my emac or an airport base station?
Posted by baking soda on June 7, 2004 at 2:36 PM (CDT)
I can't wait until the new iPods also come with Wifi.
The aireo is a good example of how wifi could work. To sync you don;t need cables or wires - you just leave it within range of a wifi card or hub like a Linksys or this new Airport Express and it sucks in ther tunes over the air.
If Apple are serious about getting rid of wires then the next iPod should also have Wifi transmit and FM transmit. That way you can broadcast analog output to radios, and digital output to wifi receivers.
I for one welcome our new wireless overlords.

"Airport Express is a full-blown 802.11g base station (access point) that can also be used for music streaming."
Am I missing something or is this just a wireless router like many others?
My 802.11G router streams music and video from the server (with its wifi card) to local laptops (with wifi cards) and works with all hardware and software and formats, not just Apple's. And it cost around half of this Apple solution (after rebate) nearly a year ago.
What am I missing? How is this different? I am honestly very confused. Is this the Emperor's New Clothes?

Any hints of what to expect in iTunes 4.6 or is it simply for the use of AirTunes? In which case if I don't use AirTunes should I stay with 4.5?

I bet it also conveniently disables Hymn, the successor to FairPlay that lets you playback your iTunes purchased AACs without iTunes or on Linux, or stream them using VideoLAN.

You said your router streams downstream from (I am presuming your PC server) to laptops. But does your router plug into the stereo and accept streams from your laptop to your stereo? Does your router also act as a usb printer server? Does your router also fit into your pocket?
Posted by jack on June 7, 2004 at 4:00 PM (CDT)
"does your router plug into the stereo and accept streams from your laptop to your stereo?"
I have a wired stereo hub (a Philips) and a wireless stereo component (Escient). Both understand ethernet. Both work well with routers.
I do think this is a smart move by Apple - within the next few years most home entertainment components will speak ether/wifi. Apple's including audio jacks for backwards compatibility with older equipment, but also obviously recognizing that future networks will be wifi.
Apple could do worse than borrow from Creative Karma and add ethernet connectivity to the next iPod. It's pretty cool to just add your music as a mini hub to any existing network.

>>>>So if I have a mac and no wireless stuff what so ever, what do I need along with this to get it to run to my living room, an airport card in my emac or an airport base station?
That depends on what you want to do.
Option 1: Use Airport Express as a wireless router for your internet connection
Plug cable modem into Airport Express, Install airport card or airport Extreme card into your Mac (if it doesn't already have one) and access your ISP via the cable modem using your eMac anywhere in your house without a wired connection to the cable modem (except for the ethernet cable from modem into Airport Express). This is also the way you would use the Airport Express in a hotel room, assuming you have an Airport card in your laptop.
Option 2:
To use the Airport Express simply as a way to wirelessly stream your music to your stereo:
Install Airport or Airport Express Card in eMac.
Plug Airport Express into wall near stereo.
Plug stereo's input jacks into audio out jack on Airport Express
Play music on the eMac, listen to it on your stereo.
NOTE: In both of these scenarios you need an Airport Card in your eMac but you do not need an additional Airport Base Station. The Airport Express is functioning as your ABS.
Make sense?
Posted by Marian Petrides on June 7, 2004 at 4:57 PM (CDT)
I can already play my iTunes and iPhoto using my Tivos which pretty much cover whatever rooms I would need music in.
This little device seems cool but you still gotta have speakers or stereo or something…at that point why not just hook up your iPod to the stereo? If your gonna carry around a little device that costs over a hundred dollars why not just carry your iPod to the other room…it aint like the iPod is so big you can't move it…lol.
Posted by Old Skool on June 7, 2004 at 5:20 PM (CDT)
Your Tivo won't play AAC files. You have to re-rip your iTMS files to mp3 to play them over Tivo… as well as paying $99 for the Home Media Option.
Posted by Chimpee on June 7, 2004 at 5:37 PM (CDT)
"paying $99 for the Home Media Option"
I didn't know Tivo people had to pay so much to network their boxes. Sure enough, I looked it up on the web. You pay to use the service, then pay per box. For each Tivo? That's just crazy.
More and more the $120 I paid for my ReplayTV looks like best value ever: built-in ethernet, no limit to number of machines shared on network, streaming or copying files across internet with no limitations.
And as for AAC files - you can use any PC/Linux with VideoLAN server to stream protected AAC files to any client.

I was hoping that I could purchase an extra airport express to act as a airport extreme card in an airport-ready G5. Do any of you think that this might be possible?
Posted by Studio works on June 7, 2004 at 5:48 PM (CDT)
"I was hoping that I could purchase an extra airport express to act as a airport extreme card in an airport-ready G5. Do any of you think that this might be possible?"
It would not be possible because the Ethernet port on the AirPort Express is a WAN only port, meaning it will only accept a dsl/cable connection, and not work as a wired connection to the network. This would work with an AEBS however since it has a LAN port as well. Hope this makes sense.
Posted by Tav on June 7, 2004 at 7:54 PM (CDT)
this thing sounds SWEET, but just one thing i don't get. if the stereo is in a room with NO broadband ethernet connection, would the Airport express still be able to stream music from the computer (which is equipped with a wireless card) to the stereo (which is connected to the Airport express but NOT an ethernet connection)? do you get what i mean?
Posted by egoman on June 7, 2004 at 8:24 PM (CDT)
It would be kewl if AirPort featured broadcasting over FM frequencies, though Apple can't let _that_ happen, could they?
Posted by Sraphim on June 7, 2004 at 8:36 PM (CDT)
Thanks, Tav.
One more thought. Would it be possible for the airport express to simultaneously act as a base station, stream music to speakers, as well as offer wireless usb printing? Apple experts, what do you think?

BBC MotoGP commentator Charlie Cox has laughed off rumours linking him with a surprise switch to the Beeb's Formula One team in 2011.
According to recent speculation, the BBC will axe current commentator Jonathan Legard for next season and a leading contender to partner respected F1 expert Martin Brundle is Aussie Cox.

The only good part about watching GP's on the Beeb is that the picture quality seems better and the build up to the race, but the rest is shocking. The commentary is so repetitive every race weekend. garanteed that parish says "these bikes are running over 220bhp"
Julian Ryder and Toby Moody are much better in every way, I think these two should be on the beeb.

It's a relief that he won't be going to f1 as as bad as Legard is at least he isn't as big a *insert expletive here* as Cox.

i bet he needs this abuse like a third armpit! bbc motogp has the worst commentary of any sporting event on tv, they have one job and cant even pick riders by their helmets! cant prononce their names correctly (who is doughvee) they understand nothing about bike racing, for example why was it hard for the honda to pass a yamaha on a straight when the honda is faster......because the yamaha gets to its top speed faster so the honda has to catch it!!!!! not because they back out. I wish i could put my contact patch the size of a credit card, once more across the stripe NIGHTMARE IN A BLOODY BUBBLE CAR (what does that even mean) opinion too who ever decided to hire a washed up touring car driver as head commentator on MOTO GP!

One of the things I find very disappointing about some bikers is their enthusiasm for pouring vitriol over just about everyone else, whether it happens to be car drivers, pedal cyclists, pedestrians, Casey Stoner or Steve Parrish Jennie Gow and Charlie Cox.
I like Julian Ryder and Toby Moody, I think they are a great pair of commentators that add a great deal to the experience of watching MotoGP on Eurosport, however I also like the way that the BBC approach MotoGP, and the three commentators that they have make a good team and also add a great deal to our experience of watching MotoGP on TV. So what if the commentators make the odd mistake, they all do it, even Toby Moody and Julian Ryder - no one is immune to gaffs.
The important thing is that they all commentate with enthusiasm for the sport and for motorcycling in general. Whether they are our favourites or not, none of them do a bad job, they are our friends in the media and we should be appreciative of that fact.

But I do like him, the guy on eurosport sounds like an obese guy struggling to breathe, Cox has made this season watchable with comedy classics such as: "revs are up, ready for a start" "taking the hole shot" "that's shot the fox" "mad axe murderers" "a nightmare in a bubble car" "he needs that like a third armpit" "as close as you like" "he's really got the magnets on" "as fast as a fast thing on fast pills" "at the start Dani Pedrosa is off the line quicker than a white slice out of my toaster" "there's so many dropping out of this race I'm gonna jump on a pit-lane scooter and claim my first world championship points". How could anyone ever be annoyed by hearing those classic one liners week after week. Seriously though, I think Cox and Matt Roberts are sound, its Steve Parrish banging on about V4's Inline 4's, crossplane cranks, desmoronic valse configurations and "over 200break horse power on a contact strip the size of a 2p piece shortly followed by "this bike puts out nearly 220bhp un a contact strip the size of a 50p piece!
I tell you who should f-off and thats that Jenny Cow, she's like a nodding dog, I remember early in the year she was obsessed with Dough-vee? having a bloody child and must of poisened the airwaves with that irrelevent piece of information for about 20 minutes for 3 consecutive weeks.

Pasticcio is sort of a macaroni lasagne
that originates from Greece. This is a short-cut version that substitutes the béchamel sauce for a cheesy mixture. Make double the quantity of the meat sauce and freeze half, then it'll be really simple to make the dish again another day.
Per serving: 643kcals, 51.5g fat (30.1g saturated), 28.6g protein, 10g carbs, 8.5g sugar, 1.1g salt
Slightly undercook the pasta – it will finish cooking in the oven.
Baking the pasta dishes before freezing prevents the pasta sticking together.
You can reheat these in the microwave. Defrost, cover with cling film and cook for 4-5 minutes or until piping hot.

Politicians across Indiana and in the region reflected on the death of former South African President Nelson Mandela and his influence on the world of politics.
Mandela died Thursday at the age of 95.
U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky, a Democrat representing the 1st District in Northwest Indiana, recalled Mandela's words that, "to deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity."
"This remarkable statesman leaves the world a legacy of compassion, love and optimism for all mankind," Visclosky said.On Twitter, U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., posted, "Mandela's tireless efforts to bring freedom & equality to all in his home country & the world will continue to inspire us."
U.S. Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., also posted to Twitter, "As a promoter of freedom and a voice for the victims of injustice, Nelson Mandela's contributions to the world will keep his memory alive."
U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski, a Republican representing the 2nd District, said Mandela dedicated his life to the courageous pursuit of peace and justice for all. She called his death tragic but said his legacy will inspire others to keep changing the world for the better.
Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson said Mandela served as a symbol of freedom and courage for muliple generations.
"If you think of his imprisonment," Freeman-Wilson said, "and how he cam out as a victor, you can't help but admire him and be inspired by him."
"He always treated others the way he wanted to be treated." she added, "I find that personally to be a great example."
Former Gary Mayor Richard Hatcher said he feels a deep sadness at the loss of a great man. While serving with TransAfrica, Hatcher worked to free Mandela from prison, and also helped to write a new constitution after the South African leader was elected president.
Hatcher said Mandela's courage to stand against tyranny and his compassion to forgive those who stood against him will be his greatest legacy.
"He became president, and South Africa has been one of the most peaceful countries in the world, not just in Africa," Hatcher said. "They have built an integrated economy, working together for the good of the country."
Hatcher said he hopes those lessons will not be lost on politicians who may attack the first U.S. African-American president simply because of his race. He said such behavior by a few elected officials insults many Americans, black and white, who believe in fairness and justice.
"Out of the truly sad death of Nelson Mandela," he said, "one of the things that comes out of this, maybe people will have some second thoughts about their actions."

The current leader of the World Chess Federation in Russian will face a challenge from charismatic dissident Gary Kasparov. The election will be held next August during the Chess Olympiad in Tromso, Norway. His opponent doesn't play world class chess, but according to the New York Times,
Mr. Ilyumzhinov's devotion to chess seems genuine — but so are his eccentricities. He has said that he believes the game was invented by extraterrestrials, and he claims to have been abducted by aliens in yellow spacesuits on the night of Sept. 17, 1997. He built Chess City, a huge glass dome surrounded by a housing development, in Kalmykia's obscure and inaccessible capital, Elista, and had the federation hold championship tournaments there.
In June 2011, at the height of the civil war in Libya, Mr. Ilyumzhinov appeared in Tripoli to meet with an old friend, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, ostensibly to discuss opportunities for developing chess programs in the country. The men played a game of chess for the cameras. It was the last time Mr. Qaddafi was seen alive in public before he was captured and killed four months later.
Interviewed by The Times, Kasparov palpated the major sore spot of Ilyumzhinov's tenure: "Anybody Googling FIDE sees he is dealing with someone who is taken by aliens and is playing chess with Qaddafi," he said." This could be why FIDE, (acronym for Federation Internationale des Echecs), has difficulty landing corporate sponsorships, a situation Kasparov might turn around.

Can I Replace Corrupt Windows 7 Pro System Files?
I apologize for this long post but I wanted to give all of the information.
I am using Windows 7 Professional SP1 32 bit on a desktop machine. I run ESET NOD32 Anti-virus 5.0 and Comodo Free Firewall in the background. I do a weekly manual scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Super AntiSpyware. Malwarebytes has never detected a threat and Super AntiSpyware detects about 130 threats each week. My start up folder has 5 programs that start up and run in the background.
Recently the machine has become very sluggish, some programs take a very long time to open and when I am using various programs they sometimes stop responding but sometimes they recover by themselves if I wait long enough.
A couple of days ago I ran sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt. After it ran it said that it could not fix several corrupted Windows files. I looked in the log file and I didn't understand what I was reading and I couldn't tell which files were corrupt or how to fix them. I ran sfc /scannow a total of 3 times rebooting after each time and each time it told me it could not fix several corrupted Windows files.
I was surprised that when I ran sfc /scannow that it did not ask me to insert the Windows 7 installation CD so it could replace the corrupted files. When I would run sfc /scannow on my Windows XP Pro machines I always had to insert the XP installation CD so it could copy files from the CD into the machine.
Today I booted the machine with the Windows install CD and selected "Repair". The "System Recovery Options" screen appeared. My choices were:
- Startup repair
- System restore to an earlier point in time
- System image recovery
- Windows memory diagnostics
- Command prompt
The machine starts up OK so there were no choices that apply to repairing Windows. When I was running XP Pro the system disk would actually do a repair action.
I am thinking that the cause of the sluggish, some programs taking a very long time to open and various programs sometimes stop responding may be caused because of the corrupt Windows file sfc /scannow couldn't fix.
Is there a way to replace the corrupt Windows 7 corrupt files that sfc /scannow says it cannot fix?
The other option is to do a complete clean install of Windows from scratch. Not too much fun as I will have re-install all of my software and re-option everything.
I would really appreciate anyone's help.

Welcome to Windows Seven Forums.
A repair install is your best bet, as this tutorial explains: Repair Install
It shouldn't affect your personal data or installed applications, but I'd make sure anything important to you is backed up to an external media first.

Since Sir Robert Walpole's appointment as Britain's first Prime Minister in 1721, there have been fifty-three holders of the post. Only seven have died in office, a list which includes the youngest to have held the post, the oldest to have become PM for the first time and the one who served for the shortest period, as well as the only case of a Prime Ministerial assassination.
All the deaths in office occurred during the period from 1743 to 1865. Since then, increased longevity and a trend towards reaching the office at a younger age in recent times have enabled all subsequent Prime Ministers to enjoy a period of retirement.
The first fatality was Sir Robert Walpole's successor, Spencer Compton, 1st Earl of Wilmington. Although Compton became a member of parliament in 1698, at the age of 25, and subsequently held several government posts, he was 69 and in ill health when he eventually succeeded Walpole in 1742. During his undistinguished sixteen months in office he was no more than a titular head of an administration which was known as the Carteret Ministry, named after Lord Carteret, who was the real wielder of executive power. His descendants still live in the family home, Compton Wynyates in Warwickshire, and four American towns and cities called Wilmington were named after him.
His successor, Henry Pelham, was also destined to die in office in 1754 at the age of 59, but his ten year premiership was far more significant. Walpole appointed Pelham as a minister in 1721, and Pelham and his brother, the Duke of Newcastle, were closely involved with Walpole in formulating government policy. As Prime Minister, Pelham had to initially overcome the power exerted by Lord Carteret, and survived a crisis in 1746, when King George II, who disagreed with some of Pelham's policies, sought, and failed, to have him replaced.
Pelham, who had a strong personality but displayed much tact and diplomacy, was successful in restructuring the government's finances and reducing the national debt. During his premiership, he reorganised the Royal Navy and had to deal with the Jacobite rising of 1745, when supporters of Charles Edward Stuart ("Bonnie Prince Charlie"), the grandson of the deposed King James II, tried to restore the Stuart monarchy. In 1751, the Pelham government approved the act which adopted the Gregorian calendar, changing the start of the year from 25 March to 1 January, and in 1753 passed the landmark Jew Bill, which enabled Jews to apply to Parliament to become naturalized British citizens. On his death, Pelham was succeeded as Prime Minister by his brother, the Duke of Newcastle.
Charles Watson-Wentworth, the 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, had two short spells as Prime Minister, twelve months in 1765/6 and fourteen weeks in 1782 before he died from influenza at 52. However, his impact during his political career was much greater than these short premierships would suggest; he was a man of great integrity who was a major influence on the policies of the Whig party. He was particularly concerned with the constitutional rights of the American colonists. His first administration repealed the Stamp Act, which had caused strong protests from the colonists, and in the last weeks of his life he was pressing for them to be granted independence under a peace treaty to end the American War of Independence, a task completed by his successor, the Earl of Shelburne. Like the Earl of Wilmington, Rockingham's name lives on in several place names in the eastern United States.
Rockingham was a keen racehorse owner and breeder, and owned the first winner of a classic race which is still run today, the St Leger.
William Pitt the Younger is one of the major figures in British history. Britain's youngest Prime Minister, he was 24 when appointed in 1783, and his first administration lasted seventeen years. His second premiership had lasted two years when he died in 1806 at the age of 46. He had suffered from ill health throughout his life, and probably died from a peptic ulcer. The last years of his life were dominated by war against France; the momentous British victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 was followed by French conquest of Russia and Austria, a painful blow to Pitt.
Two important themes in Pitt's premierships were the recovery of Britain's finances after the draining effect of the American War of Independence (he introduced the first income tax in 1799) and the campaign to abolish slavery. In this campaign, he gave strong support to William Wilberforce, but did not live to see the passing of the Slave Trade Act, which became law in 1807.
Two other acts which Pitt's government passed with far-reaching effects were the India Act 1784 and the Act of Union 1800. The India Act took parliamentary control of all British territories in the East Indies which had been administered by the East India Company, a major step in the growth of the British Empire. The latter act combined Great Britain and Ireland in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Spencer Perceval was in the third year of his premiership when, on 11th May 1812, he stepped into the lobby of the House of Commons and was shot in the chest by a lone gunman, John Bellingham. Bellingham, who made no attempt to escape, had a personal grievance against the government; he had repeatedly failed in a claim for compensation for business losses he had suffered in Russia. He was executed a week later. Perceval was 49, and remains the only British Prime Minister to have been assassinated. Ironically, one of Bellingham's descendants, Henry Bellingham, is a current member of parliament.
Perceval was a prominent barrister who entered parliament in 1795 and became Solicitor General and Attorney General; he is still the only Prime Minister to have held those posts prior to the premiership. As Prime Minister, he presided over an administration which struggled to maintain parliamentary support. The major problem he had to address in this period was the recurrence of mental problems in King George III. His son, the future George IV, had had to act as Prince Regent in 1788, and Perceval's administration had to re-instate legal provisions for a further period of Regency under the Regency Bill 1810.
George Canning's political career co-incided with Perceval's. He became a member of parliament in 1796, at the age of 26, and was at the centre of political life for the next thirty years, serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Paymaster of the Forces, Treasurer of the Navy and Foreign Secretary. Canning was a charismatic and colourful minister. In 1809, when Foreign Secretary, he fought a duel with pistols on Putney Heath, London, against a fellow cabinet minister, Lord Castlereagh, over a policy disagreement. The duel ended in farce, when Canning missed Castlereagh but had to retire with a wound in the thigh.
When Canning became Prime Minister in 1827, his health was already deteriorating, and his 119 days in office before his death from pneumonia at the age of 57 represent the shortest period in office for any British Prime Minister. He is regarded as a "lost leader", who could have created a memorable legacy if he had lived longer.
Viscount Palmerston was one of the great political figures of the nineteenth century. First elected to parliament in 1806 at the age of 22, Palmerston spent an extraordinary six decades at the forefront of political life and influenced most of the great events of the age. He was intensely patriotic, and his most significant achievements were in foreign policy. His sixteen years as Foreign Secretary and two periods as Prime Minister, from 1855 to 1858 and from 1859 to 1865 covered a period when Britain was at the height of its imperial power. His strong defence of British interests became known as "gunboat diplomacy".
Famous for his charming aristocratic manner, he was a very popular public figure and received a state funeral. Aged 71 when he became Prime Minister in 1855, Palmerston is the oldest PM to take up the office for the first time. When he died in 1865, a few days short of his eighty-first birthday, he was the last British Prime Minister to die in office.

Coalition NBN plan won't help flats: SCA
Summary: Apartment dwellers in urban centres will be the big losers under the Coalition's high-speed National Broadband Network plan, the peak body representing the strata sector says.
For its National Broadband Network (NBN), the Coalition plans to run fibre optic cable to nodes and use the existing copper wire network to link the rest of the way to buildings to save money.
But Strata Community Australia (SCA) said this disadvantages apartment building residents, because the aging copper wire infrastructure within such premises won't be able to cope.
"For apartments, they are dreaming if they think they are going to get 25 megabits per second [Mbps]," SCA chief Mark Lever told AAP on Wednesday.
"Most residents in Bondi will have worse internet connections than in Boggabilla [in far north inland NSW]."
Under Labor, the network builder NBN Co will run fibre all the way to residential buildings, which will then run through the existing copper wire conduits to individual apartments.
But under the plan announced by Opposition Leader Tony Abbott and his communications spokesman Malcolm Turnbull, that would not happen.
"Apartment residents will not get high-speed broadband under this plan," Lever said.
The opposition has said that residents can pay for fibre to run all the way to premises if they want.
However, this won't help individual flat residents wanting to pay the extra, because there is no avenue to act without the agreement of owner corporations, which control building infrastructure.
Lever also fears that most wouldn't want to spend the money.
"You require 75 percent of owners to agree, and individual owners can't go out and pay," he said.
"Certainly, for apartment dwellers, this is a policy that doesn't guarantee deliverable high-speed broadband."
Abbott has promised to deliver fast broadband to Australians earlier and cheaper than under Labor's NBN.
The plan has been dubbed a "lemon" by some experts, because it will only provide minimum speeds of 25Mbps, compared to Labor's 100Mbps.

Police say when officers approached the car, they heard a voice from inside repeating "he's drunk, he's drunk." Upon further examination, officers realized the voice belong to Reyes' pet parrot, according to Spanish-language newspaper El Universal. Apparently the parrot's word was good enough for officers who administered a sobriety test which Reyes promptly failed. The betrayed man was arrested on a drunk driving charge but harbored no ill will toward his winged companion. When Reyes learned his parrot was to be taken away by Animal Surveillance Brigade officers, he informed them that he and the parrot were always together and separating could cause great stress. It was not immediately clear if he meant for the parrot or for himself. The parrot was allowed to accompany Reyes to the big house.

Chicago mayor says gun laws key to fighting crime
- Written by The Chicago Defender
- Published in Chicago
Part of the ordinance was overturned by U.S. District Judge Samuel Der-Yeghiayan, who took aim at the section used to deny a permit to a man because of a prior misdemeanor conviction. The judge called that section "unconstitutionally void for vagueness."
Emanuel on Wednesday refused to say whether he would appeal the ruling or rewrite the overturned section.
Chicago's gun law took effect in 2010. It was passed days after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling struck down a 28-year ban on handguns. The ordinance requires gun owners to obtain a gun permit and register their firearms with the police.
