Very good
Location - 5 minute walk from light rail station and 15 shuttle to the airport. Even though the bed and bathroom were lower quality, it is good value for the very low price.
Hard Chinese bed, we call the box springs in the US. Black bathroom tiles make it very dark and hard for staff to see how dirty they are.
Good all round and well kept hotel at a reasonable price but only book if you need to be near the Airport otherwise its a bit of a ghost town with nothing going on. There is a lovely coffee shop/bakery around the corner which serves delicious croissants: great as the 'included' breakfast is naff.
The noise from the Airport is, inevitably, a problem but this isn't a problem when the windows are closed (which also leaves you without fresh air).
Fair Price
Not as close to the airport as I expected. And hard to get an information in the airport about the location of the Hotel.
Close to the airport east MTR station. Wifi worked well.
Room cleanliness!! The whole place just didn't feel clean. Toilet had a very strong odour of urine!! It was disgusting!! Called reception but unfortunely my Chinese isn't good enough and their English was limited so didn't change room... Shower took way too long to 'heat' up!! Strange layout of room, didn't like it!!
sufficiently clean rooms
- Chinese-style breakfast. No choice. No coffee, no drinks, no fruit. - A noisy watchdog. - The distance of the hotel from the airport is over 9 miles.
The counter staff at the airport
The toilet/bathroom - not clean at all
They changed 3 rooms due to poor conditions , even at last I have to compromise without AC for four days. Area is away from city, but close to airport. They charged the credit card, the moment this hotel is book for the full amount. And booking.com was unable to answer satisfactorily. Instead booking.com was asking my credit card copy, bank statement etc to believe me.
Near metro station and many local food store. Free airport transfer.
Not clean. Reception staff not friendly at all. Water heatertemperature not stable.
Standard hotel for China. Cheap and convenient for the airport. We would stay again.
Could hear loud guests at times from the hallway. We were placed near the elevators so noise was a bit of an issue.
Description is wrong! Says "Airport Hotel is just over half a mile from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport". Not true! That old airport has closed, and it is MUCH farther from the new airport!!!
Big room
Under renovation. Book two rooms..mine suppose to have better facilities but got a room where the outside is under renovation. The scaffolding pipe protrude into via the window (a hazard) cannot closed.. breakfast over by 9am...so missed it. bathroom drainage poor.
Close to the mtr station, reliable and large bus to/from airport, free and fast wifi in rooms. The free breakfast was ok. One staff member can speak English and that was helpful.
Not many restaurant choices nearby. The lighting in the room was very poor.
The position was good and convenient to the industrial area we were visiting. The Underground station was 5 minutes away and very convenient. Hotel bus to the airport was very convenient and appreciated.
There was a lack of English ...in fact it was an uphill battle to be understood.... The included so-called breakfast was appauling.... Rather opt for the restaurant breakfast.
Quietness of hotel. Very clean. Lunch was excellent. Choice of foods very good. Shuttle service on time always.
Wouldn't put some food for breakfast in a box as I was leaving before breakfast dining room opened. The darkness of the toilet and bathrooms. Not walkable from terminals. Description on Internet said hotel less than a kilometre away. This was definitely not true. Cafe in hotel did not give value for money and did not follow my request for very little salt. Chicken was tough, very small portion, highly salted and was inedible generally! Phone cable was disconnected and I had to fiddle around with it to connect it. Should be checked.
The hotel was nice, with wifi and around the area were a lot of small local restaurants, if you don't want to use the restaurants of the hotel
It was far away from everything. You need one hour by metro to go to the city center.
Receptionists were warm and room was clean ,especially location is competitive, airport bus service is humanized. Felt good!
Hotel not 4 star's only 2 star's maybe management unpolluted and hotel services is very bad
nothing at allllllll
everything.... this hotel should be closed for renovation,,, total desaster
Courteous restaurant staff and the airport shuttle bus reception.
Misrepresentation of distance from airport - it is definitely not 0.9km and not 4 stars! Security guard smokes while at his post at room corridor. Dirty room. Unprofessional front desk staff.
Locating near to the metro station. Able to walk to the station.
Quite far from the Shenzhen airport terminal 3 (now). Need to take taxi to the hotel about 15minutes.
Tell customer where is your hotel bus at the new airport, don't leave them at night. Improve your English skill.
They don't care about customer's request. I ask for airport pick up when I booked, but no response and no pick up.
Free shuttle from / to airport. Staff not good speaking english. Room spacious and good clean. Hotel is quit. Hotel close to m416 busline route to mtr station, but found out this later after traveling backwards and forwards from airport. Mtr greenline to Shenzhen and hk.
Breakfast is very poor and onhygienic. Not would while to mention as is set up for Chinese people only. Breakfast is part of hotel rate.

Puzzling — This giveaway is 78MB while the trial version on their website is 171MB. As is usual with Ashampoo, be prepared for a deluge of spam, so use a one-time or secondary email address.
May 16, 2009
You're correct about the file size. But then, Ashampoo isn't giving away its full-fledged Burning Studio 12 at all. It's actually giving away what it always gives away, a free versioin based on an earlier edition of the commercial software. The clue is in the giveaway: if a year appears in the title of an Ashampoo offering, then it's a cheapo version. If it's a number, then it's the full version. What is actually been given away here is Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 — that is, a product which doesn't exist because Ashampoo doesn't sell it. Ashampoo Burning Studio 12 certainly does exist. But that isn't being given away. That said: even the free version of Burning Studio is good, easy-to-use software.

Administrator of Estate where there is No Will and Renunciation to permit adult child to serve
Written by attorney Kenneth Vercammen
Administrator of Estate where there is No Will and Renunciation to permit adult child to serve
And what would happen if she had a will stating the all her money and property goes to a childhood best friend of hers including her house?
If an elderly woman has dementia, a guardian should be appointed to care for her and her property. As for leaving money to a child hood friend, it depends on whether she had the capacity to execute the will, when she executed the will. Depending on who you are in the equation, you may want to see an attorney.
Mr. Gold and Mr. Buquicchio give you good advice. It is, however, difficult to evaluate your question in a vacuum.
While there is no legal impediment to leaving one's property to anyone of one's choice, if it is an odd or unusual choice, it could buttress allegations that the person who executed the will lacked testamentary capacity or was subject to undue influence. These kinds of circumstances can lead to a contested probate proceeding.
You ask about a will that would leave the entire estate to a "childhood best friend." You don't say, however, whether this "childhood best friend" is someone who she has been great friends with for, say, the past 70 years or whether it is someone with whom she has not been in contact for a half a century. You also don't say whether she is married or has any children, or, if not, whether she has anyone else in her life with whom she is particularly close.
One cannot completely disinherit a spouse. So if she is married, her husband, if he were to survive her, would be entitled to at least a third of the estate under a New York statute known as the surviving spouse's "right of election."
If she has children and has a relatively good relationship with them, it would be unusual to disinherit them. If she is long estranged from them, that might be a different story.
A person with dementia may not have the capacity to execute a will. Generally, it takes less capacity to execute a will than it does to subscribe to a magazine. But the testator (the person whose will it is) must know the nature and object of her bounty and at least in general the extent of her assets. If a person who, for example, has an esate that is likely to be worth $1 million leaves her entire estate to the corner pretzel vendor with whom she has exchanged some pleasantries over the years, but disinherits her two children, this would (understandably) raise questions as to whether she has testamentary capacity.
In New York, if a person is unable to attend to management of property or personal needs, a proceeding pursuant to Article 81 of the Mental Hygiene Law may be in order. That is a proceeding to appoint a guardian to assist her. The appointment of a guardian does not necessarily mean that the person lacks capacity to make a will, but, of course, it goes to the weight of the evidence.
A guardianship proceeding is given high priority by the court, and it is usually a very quick proceeding. Often, the entire proceeding will take no longer than about two months (provided, of course, that it is not a contested guardianship proceeding, which could take a few additional months, depending on factors that are beyond the scope of your posting.
You don't say who you are in this scenario -- are you a family member? Or are you the "childhood best friend"?
Depending on your interests in this matter, you may wish to consult with an attorney who is experienced in both estate proceedings and guardianships. If you would like, you may feel free to contact me (or, of course, any of the other fine attorneys here on avvo).
Good luck to you.
I am a NY lawyer. You have been some very good advice. I would speak to a lawyer about an Article 81 guardianship. This will address the needs of her care. The guardianship does automatically affect a prior will. As was stated in the prior posts, competency at the time of making the will is the issue. You should speak to a lawyer on her behalf.
There are two primary questions here.
First, how much money does the individual have? If she has a modest amount of money and for whatever reason begins to collect state assistance, then the state can usually recover this sum at her death. This eliminates the problem of the childhood friend because it is likely that an individual with dementia will outlive their assets.
Alternatively, if she has considerable assets then as you have previously been advised someone will need to start guardianship proceedings so that a competent individual can manage her money and pay her expenses until she runs out. In either case it would be wise to consult with an attorney about a variety of techniques to manager her money and or qualify for state assistance if needed.
The second question is whether she had capacity when she signed her WIll. If she had capacity then the Will is likely valid and since she does not have capacity today you cannot modify it. There are two exceptions to this in that if she signed a Durable Power of Attorney that allowed her agent to modify her estate plan and that you could move for guardianship proceedings and then request permission of the judge to modify her will. If such power was given to the Power of Attorney or by a Judge and there is some evidence to identify that it would be in the elderly woman's best interest to change her Will then it may be able to be changed.
In either regards it would be worthwhile to have a consultation with a local attorney to discuss the details of this specific case.
Understanding wills and estates can help you create a legally binding plan to protect your assets and final wishes, as well as reduce taxes on your estate.
Written by attorney Kenneth Vercammen
Administrator of Estate where there is No Will and Renunciation to permit adult child to serve
Estate planning refers to the process in which you decide and document what happens to your assets after you die, by making things like wills or trusts.
Written by attorney Stephen Mendel
If you have an elderly loved one, you will probably need the services of an elder law attorney. Choosing an attorney for any type of legal issue is a difficult task. Choosing an attorney... more

Under linux, django will run fine with a sqlite database with a non-ascii pathname. However, it will print out a UnicodeWarning. This is the output of django manage.py runserver:

comment:3 Changed 3 years ago by akaariai
The settings snippet seems to be missing the most important part of the information, the database's NAME. Make sure the name is an unicode string, something like this:
'NAME': u'name_containing_é'
comment:4 Changed 3 years ago by kmtracey
- Resolution set to invalid
- Status changed from new to closed
I have verified that so long as the database name string is unicode (prefixed with u'', or in a file with from __future__ import unicode_literals), a sqlite file name with non-ascii characters works fine, on Windows. Tried 1.4 and current master, on current master tried both py2 and py3. The unicode warning noted above only happens when the DB name string is not unicode.

Recent reviews:
March 10, 2014 - Love the meaning and wished I could wear it more but so hard for me to put on and stay together. Wished it would just attach on to the purple rope with a clasp
November 3, 2013 - Loved the idea of this bracelet. Unfortunately, in the 5 days that I owned it, it fell off numerous times - the 'puzzle' comes apart way too easily. Unfortunately, the final time it fell off was at a busy airport -- and it's gone now :( As a doggie foster mom and rescue transport driver, this was going to be my great conversation starter - I guess I better find a more reliable accessory.
July 12, 2013 - hard to keep the paws together - before you know it you will lose the bracelet because the clasp is so lose - but I do like the piece
October 27, 2012 - Love this bracelet and so do all my friends. Like the other reviewers comments, it has come apart and it does tarnish. I just make sure it's always connected at the flat part of the two paws.
September 22, 2012 - Really do love this piece. If you tie it right on your wrist it should be no problem staying on or unlocking. However, I wish it was better quality, because it does tarnish and change a color on my wrist. I would of paid more for a solid stainless steel or white gold. Now I need to figure out how I want to cover it with a clear coat to prevent this.

Yeah, we opted for the Brita faucet attachment after I read an article about what grows in the unchlorinated water that sits in the fridge pitcher : Not that weird stuff can't grow on the faucet thingie too, but IMO it's easier to clean and less plastic to replace.
Do you have a link, perchance?
I have a filter pitcher, so now I'm filled with dread. alsoSarah |

Has anyone delt with Jay Racing? I asking because I emailed them about getting some custom vinyl work. They responded the next day telling me to email them a pic of the stripes I wanted and they would send me a price quote. So I sent the graphics I designed in an email. Two days went by with no response. So I decided to email them again to see it they had gottin my graphics. Next day no response. I then sent one more with my fingers crossed,and still nothing. It almost feels like the took my art and ran....Id hate to think thats the case. Someone give me some good news...
btw...here is my graphics: http://www.focusfanatics.com/gallery...cat=500&page=1 |
Maybe they arent in the shop....
theres this really neat invention called a PHONE... have you tried using it yet???? I know thier number is listed in almost every post they make. |
Read my sig.
yeah this is not time for a thread like this. I have personally done actual business with them and they responded and had my products at my door in 5 total days. so just be cool my friends and they will get a hold of you. you have not spent money yet so give them some time. the guy who does vinyl may have had an emergency.
Well I have done everything I can to give this sponsor my business.Emails, pm'ed(SRS Rocket) They seem too busy to deal with me. So I have moved on.
I know Jay answers his phone even on Saturdays... he was answering it all day when we came back from Toms last month. |
i have done business with them and they are very fast and i can get ahold of them anytime
wow, grow a set and call them.
geez everybody's getting so damn hostile in here. . .

All good
The bed was ckmfirtabme
The room was dusty/ dirty..looked dated in parts.
The location and comfort of the bed.
My card was charged for two rooms instead of one.
The fact that I make a reservation since thursday to be in Saturday and when I get there the front desk recepcionist says that they never recive any notficstion from your website, I also call booking telling then what happen and they that they wiill send me a link over the 5 min...NEVER Happen ,still waitng... And I wasn't the onlyone en this situation there were like 6 person and families with the same problem, but the staff from Windham hotel were super helpfull thank you gays for you help
Free shuttle bus picked us up and returned us to airport no waiting or fuss. Free breakfast was good with a good choice. Staff helpful at check in .
Great location for airport and close to restaurants
Nice room. Comfortable bed.
TV remote did not work. No parking. Misplaced my reservation booked with an online service.
The room was cheap and they had a shuttle from the airport. Breakfast was decent. Room service was expensive, but also decent. Facilities were all good.
I think the air in the room was a bit stuffy. It was cold when I was staying there, so I was running the heater, which I think was the cause. It could have been a coincidence because I think was coming down with a cold when I stayed in the room, but my throat got really scratchy and I felt like I couldn't get enough water...I ended up going to the airport early, but I'm not certain if the room was to blame.
Hotel staff was very helpful despite the fact they had not received our reservation from Booking.com. Room was large and lovely.
Booking.com had failed to send our reservation to the Wingate hotel. We were the third party checking in that day with the same problem. Fortunately, a room was available. When I asked desk staff what would have happened if a room was not available, I was told they would have had to send us to another hotel. Not what I wanted to hear.
Location and 24/7 airport shuttle.
A bit understaffed and reservations booked online weren't forwarded to the hotel. It was a slow process with a long line.
Extremely comfortable bed!!
Polystyrene bowl disintegrated in microwave when I tried to cook oatmeal as instructed.
complimentary shuttle and breakfast, spacious room, quiet, in-room fridge and microwave. clean and property in good shape
there's not a lot of access to nearby shops or dining if you don't have transportation.
Location, breakfast.
They charged us much more than they should have. We called the customer service several times, no one had ever answered the phone.
The bed was comfortable and the room spacious.
Comfort stay, continental breakfast, nice location & polite staff.
Wifi or internet was very bad and connection very poor.

to say its rubbish, that WOHMs dont have so much tidying to do...'leave a tidy house, come home to a tidy house'?
(155 Posts)I've read it on many a thread now....WOHM don't have so much to do, because kids are in childcare setting all day, get picked up, brought home-dinner, bath bed- no mess
I reckon mess-made can be plotted against time, and there is a maximum mess, where no more mess is possible, when everything is out of the cupboards and on the floor already and covered in crumbs and spilt juice. Here the graph plateaus
My kids can reach 'maximum mess' in approximately an hour. Mess saturation point
On the days I work, I definitely have as much/more to do than the days I am at home, and less time to do it in
Mess and laundry multiplies like bacteria under a microscope. It doesn't matter if you're there or not, it does it all on its own. Scientific fact, that.
My house has never been filthier than when I worked, even part time. I tried to get as much as possible done on my days off but it still seemed to maintain a constant level of cluttered and untidy.
Were all out by 7.30am on a morning then back after school run then place is trashed by 6 then its tidy up time.
When your at home all day its easy to keep on top of it imo.
YABU. On the days I work my house is presentable. When we are at home it is a pigsty. I'm constantly walking around with the wet wipes and dustpan. Whilst I am clearing up the spilt drink my toddler is emptying the DVD cupboard. It is much easier to keep a home clean and tidy when there is nobody at home.
YABU to assume that WOHM's are responsible for doing the housework at all, unless they are single WOHMs.
What about the WOHF's who leave their tidy or untidy house?
But otherwise, yanbu. My kids can trash a place in 10 minutes and they're not even toddlers anymore. One of them's a teenager.
Its fine once they are about 4 and your not at work as they clean up for you.Dd is cleaning all the floor now and im on this .
Whereas on a work day they are too tired and there isnt enough time to make them do a massive job,as you are doing too much at work and when you come home you have to cram 10 hours cleaning into3.
Cramming 10 hours cleaning into 3! Blimey I don't that much cleaning in a year!
I mean you have ten hours to do it not that I do that much thats why days off are good.I do about ten mins then a well deserved hr and half off on repeat!
its not the same but whe my kids tried school last year for a term i found the house was much messier,even though now they are at home a lot more i seem to have more energy and time to do stuff.Before we were all rushing out the house at 8.20 and the i had to get the middle 2 fromnursery at 12 the ds1 at 3.10,it didnt leave much time for anything really.
There is less to clean / tidy when you are a WOHM. No lunch dishes, no morning craft etc etc.
But there is also much less time to do the stuff that needs to be done. Proportionally, probably more time is spent doing housework by WOHM/Ds out of the amount of time available.
But SAHM don't have 10 hours a day just to swan around cleaning a spotless house, we have 10 hours to stop a toddler drawing on the walls, sweeping up crumbs from the biscuit they have snuck away from the table, making and clearing up their lunch, making the beds for the 5 th time that day as 2 year olds favourite thing is to pull all the covers off and dump on the floor, change nappies on a wriggling toddler which often means a change of clothes, do play dough but have to hover so he doesn't run of with some and squash it into the carpet, tidy up said play dough, tidy up the box of trains he's tipped over the playroom floor before decidin to play with something else, pick up the jigsaw all over the floor, wipe up spilt juice, builds/rebuild something they keep demolishing but then want made right again, cuddles (noir ally when you are right in the middle of something) , pick up kids from school and deal with tired stroppy jildren asking for a anack every 5 min whilst i am cooking, kids fighting with toddler whos been used to playing with what wer he wants all day and not sharing, dealin with squanbles over whats on tv etc and so on, these are all things that wouldn't need doing if I was at work as someone else would be doing it at someplace else - nursery or childminder etc,
If I worked we would have breakfast, get ready and leave the house, it might be a bit messy, plates on table but it wouldn't get any messier, would then come home, kids would have been fed etc at childcare so it would be bath, tv and maybe a few toys and then bed. I would still have to do hoovering but it wouldn't be as dirty, wouldn't have put the same toy away 5 times that day, wouldn't have been as many spilt drinks etc.
Everyone finds different things hard but I personally think when Im off its easy as I dont feel tired so you dont mind bimbling around cleaning it at your own pace,whereas after work Im usually tired so it gets trashed.
Also dont make things harder for yourself a 2 year old is perfectly capable of cleaning their own toys.
Tidying up (at least dd's stuff anyway) used to be so much easier when dd was a toddler. We had 'tidy up time' before tea every day- just chuck all the toys in the box and you're done. Mind you, I was also a SAHM when she was a toddler so that could also be something to do with my memory of that! Now she's 9 there's papers, pens, bits of recycling she's building things with, smaller bits of toys like lego etc etc. Her room is a nightmare.
o so this is going to go into. "the working parents do everything a sahp does and works on top" debate. Not sure how a person can work and look after their dc at the same time. disclaimer I do wohm but on maternity leave at mo from part time work. Plus if you wohm I would hope houework is shared with dp. All mine seems to do is makr a mess!
Who said SAHMs had 10 hours a day to do the cleaning?
I have been a SAHMS and a WOHM. Both are hard in their own way, but I had more 'spare' time as a SAHM, and that's when my kids were small. I certainly had more time to keep the house in order. I'm not complaining - I chose to work. I know both choices can be tough.
But there is definitely more time for cleaning as a SAHM. Or at least I had more time for cleaning. And more mess, but when the kids went to bed I could relax till I went to bed. Now dinner is finished at about the same time the kids used to go to bed, then i still need to do dishes, laundry, clear up the kitchen etc.
But I can only comment on my experience.
"the working parents do everything a sahp does and works on top" lol
yeah right!
Ive got all trofast ikea storage.One box out at time and fully tidied before next out.If you tip all lego out you must tidy it all up yourself with no adult help even if it takes you hours.By doing that dd no longer tips it all out. If making things items are not in box before bed they go out to the recycling.I cant deal with toys out at night.
I think this thread just reinforces my view that I was a crap SAHM.
Surely no one actually believes a WOHM does the same as a SAHM as well as working?
Not every mum (WOHM or SAHM) has a do to share the housework with.
Has a dp. Not a do.
Who do you think does a WOHMs cleaning, laundry, ironing, washing up, cooking, shopping etc?
Or do you think WOHMs houses are shit tips?
That is true jeezy
catgirl of course wohm do all that but they can' t perform chlid care whilst at work.
I do both its not that hard.Was a couple of years back but now Im used to it.Also I have routines and proper storage now so takes a lot of the pressure off.

Although this fragrance was purchased for a friend, she was familiar with it and I wasn't. But after her excitement and finally opening the box, I don't think I've ever smelled anything like it before. It was absolutely amazing! A fragrance that I would definitely save for that special someone or for an elegant occasion. Definitely worth every penny. And I will be purchasing a bottle for myself too!

Read Review details ►Had to wait for this perfume it was worth it. It has a light scent and I just have to say a wonderful fragrance. I received a sample from my local paper insert and I have to say I really picked a great choice. You can wear this no matter where you go, day or night.

Auto detailing can help emphasize your car's best features, from a custom hood ornament to the words "cool car" keyed onto the hood. Stop traffic with this Groupon.
$55 for Exterior Detail and Headlight Restoration ($110 Value)
Over the course of their three- to four-hour exterior detail, technicians restore new-car shine to road-worn vehicles. Treatments begin with a hand wash and clay-bar rub down of the entire exterior. Then, techs clean and dress tires, and treat paint to a three-stage care process that imbues shells with lasting shine that's sealed in by a machine glaze and carnauba hand wax. Detailing sessions conclude with an interior and trunk vacuum, window wipe-down, and a coat of polish on all chrome.
Top Notch Auto Detailing, LLC
For the past 10 years, the technicians at Top Notch Auto Detailing, LLC have restored sleek showroom luster to cars ranging from workhorse Fords to show horse Ferraris. No matter the make, model, or condition, the techs complete full-body details in a timely three to four hours, sparing no step in the process. Their three-step paint restoration process erases signs of wear—including rust, wax, and scratches—from cars, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles. They seal in that shine with polish sessions conducted with both machine precision and old-fashioned elbow grease. Their quality standards don't dip when it comes to interiors; once inside, techs condition leather and vinyl and treat soft surfaces such as floor mats or napping dogs with a deodorizer.
In addition to cleaning cars inside and out, the auto-care team is well-versed in minor repairs including headlight restoration and rust removal. They also bang out dents that don't need any new paint, allowing car owners to maintain the fiction that they do not, in fact, live in the parking lot behind the baseball field.
96% of 57 customers recommend
"Great work, best outside detail I've seen in a while, very professional and great job! "
"Jarred did a fantastic job! Highly recommended to anyone considering having great detail work done....I have also recommended his company to all my friends and family."
"Jarred was very polite and professional and did a great job on both of my cars!"

tomcol - Unregistered November 15, 2012 8:59 PM Dont underestimate Dovi. Hammered Crutchlow on his first season on the Yam (resultwise i mean) and he will be the first Ducati at 90% of next years races. Period. 4 agree 0 disagree
Nick636 November 16, 2012 6:11 AM @ GeorgieHow do you know Pedro wasn't pushing? His time, for a patchy track was ctually quite a good one. Secondly, it was Dovi's first time on the duke, he also wasn't pushing. He would be stupid to do that. And they admitted he was just getting acquainted with it. As for the surface, it wasn't new. It was the first time the MotoGP guys had been on the new surface, but it was resurfaced end of last year/beginning of this year.I think the proof will be in the pudding. I can't wait to see a decent test on a dry track with all the teams at the same track.Marquez on the Duc could be cool, but I would love to see Redding on it. Crutchlow would gel with it too I think. Reply Report abuse 0 agree 1 disagree
Otto - Unregistered November 16, 2012 10:40 AM Dovi is a very intelligent rider, and every career move he has made has turned out to be well-judged, even if it didn't seem so at the time.He may not quite be 'alien' class but he will pick up some podiums this year, and will help to take the development of the bike in the right direction.And above all, he will actually try.I wish him well. 4 agree 0 disagree
B. Andy November 16, 2012 10:24 PM Dovi is a good rider, he just misses something to be "a bit better" and match the top guys. Imo he misses the "moment of brilliance" that the "aliens" have. And that's something you have or not. You cannot learn it. Great first ride on the Duc, it would be great if he can mix in the front pack. Reply Report abuse 0 agree 0 disagree

Boston has its scenic Charles River, but we're pretty sure Ray Allen is going enjoy his new water view much better.
The former Celtic and now Miami Heat basketball star has moved in a Coral Gables mansion worth $13.9 million. According to gossip columnist Jose Lambiet, Allen's new pad is a (uh, modest) 11,533 square foot home with a man-made silver of beach, complete with a view of the Biscayne Bay.
Word is Allen didn't buy his new home – he's renting it for $50,000 a month. The sprawling estate also boasts 9 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a pool, elevators, spa, four-car garage and a guest house.

iGlasses goes 2.0
If you want to customize your iSight output for chatting or video recording, there's a quick and cheap way to do it: iGlasses from ecamm network, only $9.95 for a whole kit bag of adjustments, colorizations, exposure controls and pan/zoom options. The 2.0 version was released earlier today (a free upgrade for previous licensees) and adds exposure lock for the built-in iSight camera among other new features.
I find myself using the exposure control a lot to manage iChat video in poor lighting conditions; you can check it out for yourself by downloading the demo here.
Thanks Glen & Ken

Del Potro Says Wrist Is 'Perfect'
Bangkok, Thailand
by Paul Macpherson
Despite losing his comeback match Tuesday in Bangkok, Juan Martin del Potro is looking confidently to the remainder of the season after saying that his right wrist gave him no trouble in his 7-6(7), 6-4 loss to Belgian Olivier Rochus.
"The most important thing for today is my wrist – and it's perfect. I hope to play five or six more tournaments between now and the end of the season," said del Potro, who is scheduled to play the ATP World Tour 500 tournament next week in Tokyo.
"It was a great moment for me being with the fans on centre court playing a match again. I felt very happy. I lost today but I have good things to take for the future."
Del Potro, once ranked as high as No. 4, now finds himself at No. 36 in the South African Airways 2010 ATP Rankings after missing the past eight months of the ATP World Tour season. The PTT Thailand Open was his first tournament appearance since January's Australian Open and since he underwent right wrist surgery on 4 May in the United States.
Encouraged by his comeback match, del Potro said that he hoped to return to the top of the game soon. "I need to work hard to get back into the Top 10. Of course I would love to be back there soon."
The 22 year old was unlucky to run into a red-hot Rochus, who at 5' 6", is a full foot shorter than the Argentine. "Of course he's not playing his best tennis yet but it's still an amazing victory for me," said World No. 78 Rochus. "I can't play much better than I did today."
Del Potro struck 16 aces but offered up nine break point chances, dropping serve once in each set.
"I played a good match. I had my chances in the first-set tie-break and he played some great points. He served very good, which was important on this kind of surface. I'm just happy to be back on the circuit and I hope I get better and better. He played very well today."

Google Clamps Down on Its Classifieds Feature
Google Clamps Down on Its Classifieds Feature
Ben Charny
Posted 2005-12-28
Google Base has more control over what gets listed, as well as a new feature for reporting bad or tasteless links.
Sometime last week, search giant Google Inc. did something that seems rather innocuous to Google Base, its free feature for searching classified ads, event notices and other content contributed by Googles registered users. But like just about anything Google does, simple upgrades seem to have profound impacts and contain big hints of Googles next big thing.
The Mountain View, Calif., Internet giant recently unveiled a Google Base self-reporting feature for bad sites, one that mimics those used by Craigslist and other pioneering online searchable references that are based entirely on contributions from the public at-large.
It also added a new step in the Google Base process. When clicking on a Google Base search result, users now travel to a Web site under Googles control, which has a version of the listing Google generated. Users have the option of clicking on a link to visit the listings originating site. Innocent sounding? No doubt. But taken in another context, with a few all but unnoticed changes, Googles managed to assume a much more aggressive role in whats posted on Google Base. And that may help it further legitimize the feature just as the integrity is being questioned of other sites composed largely of contributions from the general public.
Click here
to read more of the recent black marks for the Wikipedias of the world.
In fact, the changes now mean Google can and may already be reviewing listings before they are made part of the search results. It could be a means of fighting the same problems of accountability and credibility that have been encountered recently by Craigslist and online encyclopedia Wikipedia, both pioneers in offering up content created for the public at-large to search through. The recent Google changes hearken to the "user policing" en vogue at user-created references, writes Classified Intelligence analyst John Zappe. Google Base product manager Bindu Reddy writes on the official Google Base blog, that Google is experimenting on different ways of navigating through Google Base. "In the future we plan to test a number of other navigation changes," he writes. Any other possible reasons for the changes couldnt immediately be learned, nor could how Google goes about choosing material from the listing for this new page, which would help answer many of the questions about its intent. Speculation of its motives amounts to "opinion," a Google spokesman wrote in an e-mail. He declined further comment. To a large degree, Googles a newcomer to community-based resource building, but suffering from a backlash thats been long in the making. At first, people were willing to forgive the rough edges of such community-built information sources, brushing off the high school atmosphere, nonsensical entries or glaring errors as a charming part of an exciting new service.

EXCLUSIVE: Disclosure Talks Gay Influences, Beyonce & Sam Smith's 'Classy' Coming Out
By Chris Azzopardi
Originally printed 6/12/2014 (Issue 2224 - Between The Lines News)
English dance prodigy Disclosure isn't simply aware that club music is steeped in queer culture - they're inspired by it. The Grammy-nominated duo, Howard and Guy Lawrence, is still lighting up the charts with songs off their debut, "Settle" (recently released as a deluxe edition), which, according to its creators, leans heavily on the unique gay roots found in house music.
Makes sense, then, that they're getting their groove on with Madonna. If chummy Instagram photos with the legend are any indication, presumably they'll be working with the icon on her next album. Word broke just after I spoke with Guy for this gay press exclusive (Howard couldn't be reached for our scheduled interview, so like a good brother, Guy stepped in for him last minute). Though he didn't acknowledge Madonna at the time, the 23-year-old did reveal what other pop icon he's drunk in love with: Beyonce.
How much has the gay community influenced your sound?
Honestly, the history of the music that we take influence from, like house and garage, obviously originated in gay clubs like The Warehouse in Chicago and Paradise Garage (in New York City). I don't go to gay clubs now, but I feel like gay clubs just seem to be very forward-thinking, in terms of music anyway, and they're always pushing boundaries. If you look back at the last 25 years or so, they're playing the most original, creative stuff.
The gay community is often recognized as having its finger on the pulse. You hear people say we know when something is gonna be big before it actually is.
From what I've seen, I would agree. I don't only look to the gay community for where I'm gonna go next, but generally, London is such a step ahead of most places in the world musically, especially with dance music. Wherever we travel, producers and DJs are always looking at London and the UK to see what's coming up next. That's really why I love living here. We just have such a great buzzing young producer community going on over here - it's such a good vibe.
You say you don't go to gay clubs much now, but it sounds like you have. Was that for research purposes?
I used to go to Brighton a lot. It's on the south coast of England, a five-minute drive from where I used to live. It was cool - there's a big gay community in Brighton. I can't really remember which were gay clubs or not, but it didn't really matter - there was always great DJs playing at them. I used to drive down there and there was definitely some research involved. When I was really into dubstep and grime and that kind of thing, I'd go down and slowly but surely everyone started playing house music and garage music. It was just a really good place to go out, especially when I was just turning 18 and wanting to learn about dance music, where it came from and the history. It was the perfect place for that.
What differences did you notice, music-wise, between gay clubs and mainstream clubs?
To be honest, man, I never ever went to clubs for the vibe of the club. I would only ever go to enjoy who was playing. I would always check the lineup first, and wherever it was that that person was playing, I would go. It didn't matter what club it was. As long as it was near and had a good sound system, it was like, I'm there.
Would you and your brother go together?
No, not at all. And we don't really go that much anymore because we're always touring, or we're always busy. We spend pretty much every evening of our lives in a club, and going to a club is the last thing you wanna do when you have a day off. (Laughs) You just kind of want to chill. But yeah, when I was going out, I was just turning 18 - but I was obviously going out a little bit before I was 18 thanks to my fake ID. Howard was 14 years old - he wasn't ready to go to a club - so I don't think we've ever really gone clubbing as such together. We've always just played in clubs together.
Who's the better dancer, you or your brother?
(Laughs) Seeing as I'm the only one the phone, I'm gonna say me.
Hey, Howard had his chance.
Exactly. I think he's gotta take this one on the chin.
Mary J. Blige laid down some soulfulness on your track "F For You." How did working with her come about?
She was just watching TV and heard the song and loved it. She wanted to find out who we are. She found out who we were, got in contact and basically through our management said she wanted to do a cover of the original song. I sent her all the parts to the song and then she sent back a big folder of a cappelas where she had rewritten the words and rewritten the verses. She was like, "I kind of redid it rather than covered it, so here's all the parts. Do whatever you want with it." Howard took all the parts, sifted through these different variants and different ad-libs, and that's the song we have today. It just worked out really nicely. She comes and does it live with us sometimes, and it's just a really nice, refreshing take on the original song.
Her voice really fits that house vibe. She hasn't really done a lot of straight up dance music, but she needs to do a whole album of it, and you guys need to produce it.
Man, if I had some time, I would love to. She's always been into her dance music, especially her house, but I don't necessarily think she's been releasing much of it, or any of it. I hope she does because she really, really knows her shit. She knows way more than you'd think.
Who are some other major female artists you'd like to collaborate with?
It's a difficult one because there's so many. I don't know, man. Mary is basically setting the bar extraordinarily high, so we're pretty happy with her for now. We haven't gotten into writing the next record yet - that's gonna happen later in the year - but I think we'll have a better idea of who we wanna work with at that point.
Maybe Beyonce? Maybe Madonna?
I'd love to work with Beyonce - I don't know who wouldn't.
What pop music informs your sound? What are you listening to currently, and who did you grow up on?
Anything with class, anything with soul. Nothing cheesy and formulaic. Anything that has a touch of originality to it but is also really catchy - that's what really impresses me. Making an eight-minute techno song is an art form but writing a three-minute pop song is also an art form in itself. Both are equally difficult to do, and it's rare you can find someone who can do both of those things. So, for me, obviously Beyonce and people like that who are just working with amazing producers and have a really good vision about what they wanna do. Her latest album is fucking brilliant. Modern-day people like her and obviously Sam Smith, whose album is so soulful and classy and has some amazing ballads on there. In the past it was people like Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. Anything with soul and good songwriting is what we're into.
You worked with Sam Smith before he became this enormous phenomenon. What's he like to work with?
He's brilliant, man. The day I met Sam was the day we wrote "Latch." He was still working in a bar at that point and hadn't really started his career, so we've gotten to see his whole journey, which has been great. I watched his show in London recently and it was just amazing to see the amount of people and the amount of love. It's been a mad journey, but he's the same person as when we met him - really grounded, loads of fun and just a really, really nice guy, and also immensely talented. I'm not worried about him. He'll be fine. (Laughs)
He also recently acknowledged publicly that he's gay. What did you think of the way he subtly came out to the world with the video for "Leave Your Lover"?
I think he did it in an amazingly classy way with that video. He's just being Sam. It's just Sam being Sam, and it's great. I'm just really happy that he's doing what he wants to do.
People have questioned your credibility because you're inspired by sounds that existed before you were even born. How do you feel about the skepticism?
I don't know if it's skepticism or more so just general interest of how we got there. In this day and age with the Internet it's just incredibly easy to learn about anything you wanna learn about. We had dubstep and grime going on here when we were just starting to go to clubs and we really liked it and just wanted to learn how the scene arrived at that, how it got there. If you just go back in time throughout dance music, dubstep takes you to garage, garage takes you to house, house takes you to disco. We spent a lot of time buying old records online and just generally researching how the people back then were making the music, what machines they were using, where they got their influences from, how they were playing live, basically everything. It was five years ago and all we wanted to learn about was everything in the electronic world, and everything leads back to Chicago and Detroit.
So you just completely immersed yourself in that type of music?
Yeah, which is, I guess, why our music comes out sounding a little different than everyone else's, because we grew up on pop music, not (dance). It's only recently that we learned about that stuff, whereas most producers and DJs grew up listening to that through maybe having a dad or an uncle who was a DJ back in that time. With us, we learned to write songs first and then decided to make them in that style, in that house-y way, so I think that's why they come out sounding a bit different.
You've really started this dialogue regarding what differentiates dance music from pop music nowadays, and it's really not much. The two styles have really merged, especially lately. Have you noticed a melding of the two genres?
Definitely. That's exactly what we wanted to do - make a pop record with those influences on it. I think us and a few other people were sort of the first people making that happen with a bit of commercial success, and actually hearing it on the radio and not just in clubs. Since then, loads of people in the UK especially have had No. 1 singles and top 10 hits with songs that as little as maybe a year or two years ago wouldn't have even touched the charts. It's been really cool seeing how the public responds, especially kids who haven't really done the research necessarily. They don't even know where it comes from, they don't know house music is from Chicago, but they just really enjoy the music and the sound of it. It's just great. I love turning on my radio and hearing some jackin' house tunes. I can't think of anything better.
