Qureshi/Rojer Save 5 M.P. To Upset Bryans In Epic Win
Madrid, Spain
by ATP Staff|
Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi and Jean-Julien Rojer saved five match points to beat top seeds and four-time Mutua Madrid Open titlists Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan 4-6, 6-4, 18-16 in 92 minutes on Thursday.
Qureshi and Rojer first had two match point opportunities at 9-7 in the Match tie-break, then at 12-11 and 16-15 before converting their fifth chance at 17-16. Last week's Estoril Open champions saved match points at 9-10, 10-11, 12-13, 13-14 and 14-15.
In January, the Bryans beat Qureshi and Rojer 7-5, 6-4 at the Apia International Sydney. Qureshi and Rojer are now 11-9 on the season and next play seventh-seeded Indians Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna in the quarter-finals. Qureshi played with Bopanna until the end of the 2011 season.
Spaniards Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez won 40 of their 47 service points to defeated 2011 finalists and third seeds Michael Llodra and Nenad Zimonjic 6-4, 6-4 in 70 minutes.
They will go onto meet sixth seeds Robert Lindstedt and Horia Tecau, who beat Frantisek Cermak and Filip Polasek 4-6, 7-6(7), 10-7 in one hour and 53 minutes. The two-time Wimbledon finalists saved seven of nine break points and hit five aces.
Marin Cilic and Marcelo Melo also knocked out a seeded team, No. 8 seeds Jurgen Melzer and Philipp Petzschner, 7-6(1), 6-3 in 71 minutes. The Croatian-Brazilian team next play fourth-seeded Poles Mariusz Fyrstenberg and Marcin Matkowski.

Northrop Grumman Builds 50,000th Tactical Gyroscope
SALT LAKE CITY, July 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has produced its 50,000(th) G-2000 gyroscope, the world's smallest tactical grade, dynamically-tuned gyroscope in production, which is used for both military and commercial purposes.
Photos accompanying this release are available at: http://media.globenewswire.com/noc/mediagallery.html?pkgid=26251.
The G-2000 senses rate orientation for stabilization and targeting applications. Since 1992, Northrop Grumman's Salt Lake City facility has produced the two-axis G?2000 gyroscope for missile and torpedo guidance, as well as pointing and stabilization of electro-optical/infrared cameras, antennas, periscopes and radars.
"The G-2000 offers high performance and reliability at an affordable cost. It's the gold standard for miniature dynamically-tuned gyros due to its higher engineering and exceptional consistency of quality, manufacture and delivery," said Bob Mehltretter, vice president, Navigation and Positioning Systems, Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems. "Although the gyro is small in size, its impact has been huge due to its role in national security and saving lives."
The G-2000 supports national security through its use on missiles, including the Patriot Advanced Capability-3, Harpoon and AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles, among other platforms. In 2010, the G-2000 helped to guide the drill that rescued 33 trapped Chilean miners from an underground mine. The G-2000 is used for both military and commercial applications by domestic and international customers. The gyroscope is especially suitable for environments that are subject to high shock forces.
Early next year, Northrop Grumman plans to introduce the LRS-2002, a digital G?2000-based, two-axis turn-key rate sensor that offers the proven performance of the G?2000 with a programmable digital output — packaged for lower cost, smaller size and simplified integration.
Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in unmanned systems, cyber, C4ISR, and logistics and modernization to government and commercial customers worldwide. Please visit www.northropgrumman.com for more information.

Root also tumbled to the ground with fatigue once he knew he had won.

Great Work! GLWS!
Very nice theme. Good luck with your sales
Thank you Vicky
Nice clean design. Great job!
Nice Theme
Thanks you !
Great work! Having some problems though, after installing it on a Wordpress 3.8 blog, the "Theme Options" seems to default to some development template with just the tab "General" and the only input field "Sample Text Field Label". Do you have any thoughts on what could cause that? Let me know if you need any more information!
Thank you for reporting this issue!
I will fix it and let you know as soon possible,
Kind regards
This issue is now resolved. You can fix it by downloading the theme again and replacing the theme files only on your server. Then activate the theme. Best regards
how do you change the height of the featured image on a static homepage?? its 710 by 738 :\ trying to change the height way too tall.
Actually the image size is always 710×738. If you want different image sizes you can do it by replacing this line of code:
add_image_size( 'thumb_710_440', 710, 440, true );
add_image_size( 'thumb_710_440', 710, 9999);
in the file: inc/theme-crop.php
kind regards,
Very Very nice template
If I buy it, is there a simple way to fix the left side position(logo and menu) in order to let them be visible even when scrolling down with the blog ?
Thank you ?
Actually yes, the easiest way is by changing the #sidebar position by fixed, and this is all. Any way I will include this as an option with the next update. Thanks for the great idea
AUTHOR, thank you for such creative theme.
Is it possible to add code or any pluggin with social sharing buttons at the end of each post? Or is there such option directly in this theme?
Thank you the kind words,
The social sharing is positioned at the top of the post.
This is the only way for now.
Ok. Thanks.
BadWeather, I purchased this theme. Now I'm trying to tune this one for cyrillic. Could you advise how to set correct cyrillic font in the same style as in English default, please.
thank you for the purchase,
I have replied to your email,
Kind regards,
Thank you for support!

Years ago, Voltron mysteriously disappeared, and the five lions were scattered throughout the universe. Over time, the lions were recovered by the original Voltron Force: Lance, Pidge, Hunk, Princess Allura, and Commander Keith. Now, with the help of three new recruits, Voltron rises again to defend the universe once more! Let's go Voltron Force!
When a cargo ship in deep space sends out a distress signal, it's the Voltron Force to the rescue! But without warning, Daniel, Larmina, and Vince find themselves fighting the greatest warriors in the galaxy for the right to pilot the Voltron lions!
Now that Daniel's a Voltron Force cadet, he can't wait to show off in front of his former classmates at the Galaxy Alliance Flight Academy. He owns the skies in Black Lion! Suddenly, two mysterious ships appear out of nowhere and put Daniel's flying to shame. Who are these mysterious new pilots? Is their presence at the Academy an act of peace or aggression?
No one knows for certain where Voltron came from, but one ancient legend tells of a sixth part of the mighty robot: a terrible warrior called the Beast King. Asleep for many years, the Beast King has awakened and is determined to rejoin his destructive spirit with the Voltron Lions!
On Planet Doom there's a species of dragon that hatches every hundred years. The eggs are just about to hatch and Maahox orders the Drule army to collect them and ship them off to Planet Arus! Will the dragon dawn be too much for the Voltron Force?
All of the Voltron Force's enemies from past battles - the Drule twins Zora and Roza, Daggor, Kai-Borg and Prince Nebulax - have joined forces with King Lotor for the ultimate battle of good versus evil. And this time, Lotor is in command of something he's never had before: the Voltron Lions! Could this be the end of the Voltron Force?
Five misfit explorers are sent to the planet Arus to find Voltron, a legendary mechanical warrior split into five robotic lions by an ancient evil curse. Once they reach Arus, they soon discover that there is more to the legend than they had believed as they find themselves under attack from the dreaded Drule Empire lead by King Zarkon. Now it's up to Keith, Lance, Sven, Hunk, Pidge, and their new ally Princess Allura to unearth the secrets of Voltron before it's too late.
In the far future, the Earth-centered Galactic Alliance and the alien Drule Supremacy are locked in an interstellar cold war. The discovery of an ancient war machine on a distant planet was supposed to tip the balance, but now the five explorers from Earth who found it have sworn allegiance to Planet Arus and Princess Allura - and to Voltron, the amazing half-science, half-sorcery robotic titan.
A series of unnatural earth tremors frightens the Space Mice into action. Rather than running or hiding, they begin to train like soldiers, and fight a pitched battle against the Blue Cat. To back them up, Pidge builds them their very own robot vehicle, a flying mouse. Before they have a successful flight, Voltron is trapped by a powerful underground Robeast. It's up to the Space Mice to launch a rescue mission!

As I walked around my yard on Saturday, I realized that our decision to change landscapers was ill-advised. I hadn't seen our account manager since the first walk-around in early April. This caused me to think back to our former landscaper (who will be rehired, mind you) and the things he used to do. This was all occurring in the aftermath of a discussion with a prospective client about transparency. It made me realize that my former landscaper was not only a great landscaper, but also a model for the New Normal.
There are some easy differences between my current and former landscaper. The former guy always told us in advance what a project or application would cost, as well as the benefits of doing it and the cost, both short and long-term, of not doing it. Our old landscaper would regularly stop by the house when he knew we were home and ask us to walk the lot with him so we could identify things they had done that we liked or did not, areas that we thought they should focus on, developing problems and so forth. Maybe 15 minutes in all, but it really made us feel like he was concerned about our lawn. In contrast, we haven't heard from our current guy since April. Not good.
Our old landscaper responded to email the day we sent anything to him, and he would give us notice when the guys would be there to service the lawn so our dogs were inside. Our current guy, not so much. Who would have thought that communication with a yard maintenance guy would mean so much?
I wondered how our experience translated. On Angie's List, our former landscaper has a large number of very positive comments and is rate "A" in every category except price, where they are rated "B". Our current landscaper does not fare as well. While his grades in the price category are an even mix of "A" and "B", his grades in the other areas are basically "B". The written comments suggest the frustration we feel is shared. We don't dislike our current guy enough to fire him mid-season, but we won't be back. We will, instead, return to our former but higher priced landscaper with a feeling that paying the higher cost is worth it.
There are obvious lessons for firms that care about quality service.

This fruity twist on a classic Brazilian caipirinha gets a spicy kick from Ancho-Arbol Syrup and a sweet, smooth finish from fragrant guava nectar.
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
8 dried chilies de arbol, stemmed and seeded
1 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet™ Chile Pepper, Ancho
4 limes, halved and crosswise and each half cut into 4 wedges, divided
Cracked or crushed ice
1 cup Cachaça or white rum, divided
1 cup guava nectar
For the Ancho-Arbol Syrup, mix all ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand 2 hours. Strain through double layer of cheesecloth or coffee filters. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled. (This makes enough syrup for 4 cocktails.).
For each cocktail, place 4 pieces of lime and 1/4 cup of the Ancho-Arbol Syrup in beverage glass. Muddle the lime with a muddler or wooden spoon to release the lime juice. Fill glass with ice. Add 1/4 cup each Cachaça and guava nectar; mix well. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 4 cocktails.
Nutritional Information coming soon!
The drink is outstanding. Always double or triple the syrup. It's the longest to make and you will run out, it's that good.

Re: Tips For Compound, Polish & Wax
Mike Borrelli called me in response to my email. The following is my take on what he told me. I promised him I would send a link to this thread so he could come on this forum and correct my quotations and add some clarification to his article in Soundings.
I don't know MaineSail very well but I suspect he will welcome some other expert comments. We have all benefited greatly from RC's generous help.
What I learned from Mike is that gel-coat and Algrip are targeting two very different audiences.
On the one hand you have one audience that wants a durable finish that can last a lifetime and look good. This is the gel-coat people.
On the other hand you have the people who want the ultimate see your nose hair in the reflection shine for as long as possible, these are the Algrip people.
And yes RC he agreed that people that take good care of their Algrip can get 15 to 20 years out of it. As proof of the superior shine that can be expected from paint he referenced the new boats that come out of the mold with gelcoat but are painted before leaving the factory. These are super high-end boats.
He was adamant however that an old gel coated boat that was heavily oxidized and sanded, compounded, polished then waxed would at the end of year start to loose the shine.
Now RC gave me an idea of how to reconcile the two different expert comments.
I suspect that Mike does most of his work for very demanding clients and his jobs cost perhaps well over 10 to 30 thousand dollars maybe much more.
A gel-coat refurb job is never going to be perfect on a 30 year old boat. There will be dings and scratches that will not compound out and the patch color will never match perfectly and as MS said the labor to do the final polish will be significant.
If after the second year the deepness of the shine fades even a little bit that will add even more insult. For these customers Mike can give them a guaranteed 10 year job, 15 to twenty if they take care of it and the color and shine and everything will be perfect for at least 10 years.
For these customers that makes sense.
He also mentioned that on darker colors he clear-coats so in case of a ding he can do a repair that doesn't show, another benefit.
For those of us who don't mind an extra weekend or two polishing our boat and 98% of the boat looks like 100% for the first year and maybe 90% for a few years after that the restore process makes our boat look awesome and costs only maybe a hundred bucks in supplies.
I will send this to Mike and see what he has to say.
And of course we are all interested in what Maine Sail has to say.

I am going to ask you to do something that sounds strange in regards to his books. Do Not Read His Books! That's right, Don't Read His Books! Rather, I recommend you Study the Books! Mark them up, highlight them, and make notes in the margins. Again, study his books and you will see that it will make you think bigger and bigger! His books will help you find power that you might not have known was in you, and you will be empowered at a new level." Dr. Willie Jolley, CSP, CPAE Washington, DC
Look for Stephen's NEW BOOK The Art of the Call ! Click for more information.
The Art of the Call is not a how-to-dispatch book. It is not an attempt to motivate. This presentation will equal a service-the-journey guide that impacts both performance and self-motivation. The approach of this presentation is grounded in the power-of-three structure: Communication, Service, and Leadership. The core objectives of this presentation are: Re-Think "communication." It is more than source, message, channel, and receiver. The fifth element, often ignored, is perception. Re-Think "service." Service must be respected as a verb. Re-Think "leadership." Leadership is an ocean, not a pool, a labor not a label. Concepts targeted in this presentation include:
1. First Responders equal more than "first on the scene."
2. Dispatchers are also first responders who deserve to be recognized, supported, and nurtured.
3. Dispatchers must service the journey of three: the caller, the team member, and the self.
4. Participants will discover "assumption-awareness" and "assumption-avoidance."
5. Attendees will discover that "strength-sculpting" is more powerful than "weakness-chiseling.
6."What is little to you could be big to someone else.
7. Your microphone is always on.
The power of story will help attendees recapture the essence of the presentation. The force behind interaction will facilitate learning. How others perceive dispatchers and how dispatchers perceive themselves will change. Participants will recognize the power of choice. Choices create, confirm, and change circumstances.

Petraeus: Israel might decide to attack Iran.
"Petraeus: Israel might decide to attack Iran."
At a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing today, Gen. David Petraeus, the head of U.S. Central Command, said that Israel may take "preemptive military action" against Iran to prevent it from developing a nuclear bomb:
Army General David Petraeus told Congress that "the Israeli government may ultimately see itself so threatened by the prospect of an Iranian nuclear weapon that it would take preemptive military action to derail or delay it."
While Iran insists its nuclear program is intended for peaceful power generation, Petraeus, the head of U.S. Central Command, said "Iranian officials have consistently failed to provide the assurances and transparency necessary for international acceptance and verification."
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor declined to comment to Bloomberg on Petraeus' comments, which come a day after the new Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, warned that President Obama "must stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons—and quickly—or an imperiled Israel may be forced to attack Iran's nuclear facilities itself."

SPECIAL: Call to Action: Protecting Marriage and Family
by Bill May
Your Catholic Voice
Call to Action: Protecting Marriage and Family
Aftershocks have been reverberating across the country from the Massachusetts Supreme Justice Court's ruling that same-sex "marriage" is a right protected by that state's constitution. People are waking to the fact that our country is on the verge of redefining marriage and the family, the very bedrock on which our society is built. They are also waking to the fact that these critical decisions are not coming from the will of the people who oppose same-sex "marriage," but will likely be forced upon us by activist judges.
We do not take the idea of amending the constitution lightly, but after careful consideration, Your Catholic Voice (YCV) has determined that the courts have unfortunately left concerned Americans very little choice. The first of the two sentence Federal Marriage Amendment reads, "Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman." This is a fact that is supported by natural law, biology and human history, and it is common sense to most people. Enacting this amendment is the only way to assure that same-sex marriage is not legalized against the will of the voters.
Our faith teaches us to respect the dignity of every single person, each made in the image and likeness of God. Human solidarity leads us to try to understand the challenges and difficulties facing a small segment of diverse people with same-sex attractions. Many are able to resolve these attractions and do not adopt a homosexual lifestyle. Others do not, but not all of them seek same-sex unions. The segment that does is led by "gay " advocate organizations that are well financed, very vocal and highly visible.
No matter what identity or lifestyle people with same-sex attractions choose, it does not give a very small minority the right to redefine marriage and the family for all of society.
These "gay" special interests argue that the issue is about providing benefits of marriage to those who adopt "gay" identities and want to enter into committed long-term relationships. That represents a very cynical and shallow view of marriage and its contribution to society. Married people are not a special interest group seeking benefits for their own interest. The benefits of marriage are incentives by the state to encourage marriage and families with a mother and father because without them, a strong society and nation cannot exist. To provide benefits for gay unions would merely provide the same incentives for alternatives to real marriage. It makes no sense.
This issue is not about benefits. It is about the future of marriage, the family, and our children and grandchildren. Faithful Catholics are not against people who adopt "gay" lifestyles, but are for protecting the important institution the cornerstone of our society the marital relationship between a man and a woman.
No matter whether same-sex unions are called "marriage," civil unions or domestic partnerships, they all have the impact of redefining marriage and family. We are not just trying to protect the word "marriage." It is the institution that is the foundation for a family with a mother and father that must be protected. The laws that we make and the values they communicate must send a positive message to our children about marriage, family and their future.
It is true that marriage has already been devalued to some extent by the current American culture. The divorce rate is high, society no longer seems to condemn unfaithfulness in marriage, and many start families without the commitment of marriage. Too many children are raised in homes without a mother and a father in a marriage relationship. While these parents do their absolute best under extremely difficult circumstances, most would agree that this is less than an ideal situation for raising children. While giving these parents credit for their heroic efforts, children must have continuous reinforcement of the value of strong marriages and families with a mother and a father for raising the next generation.
This is an important point of disagreement with radical "gay" activists and their allies. Their agenda reinforces that families without marriage with a mother and father are equally good alternatives to families with mothers and fathers in marital relationships. Scientific studies and common sense tell us this is untrue. Children are susceptible to these messages and they will negatively impact their futures and society as a whole.
We must not let anyone weaken and undermine marriage further. Please join YCV in strengthening it for our children and grandchildren.
How you can help...
Your Catholic Voice has launched a major project to support marriage and the family and for the passage of the Federal Marriage Amendment. It is going to take the effort of tens of thousands of volunteers over time. There are three things you can do at this time:
1. Sign the YCV petition in support of the Federal Marriage Amendment. Sign up to volunteer in you parish at the same time. Sign Petition: Federal Marriage Amendment.
2. Please make a small contribution for this effort. This will help support volunteers and increase our ability to communicate with the public and members of Congress on this issue. Donate: Marriage & Family Project.
3. Call or write to your two Senators and your Congressman and ask them to co-sponsor the Federal Marriage Amendment.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good for package tourists; not for exploration,
Amazon Customer (Wuhan, China) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet China 8th Ed.: 8th Edition (Paperback)
They say that everything you hear about China is true somewhere. Everything you read in LP China may also be true somewhere but unfortunately not always where you are. Originally published in August 2002 this book is well past its prime. It is still superior to the Rough Guide but could use a serious update. Speaking of which the overleaf promises guidebook upgrades on the Internet but they discontinued this in favour of user discussion.
Pricing - the cost of tea in China, you say? Like most things in China, prices are in constant flux and I question the value of including them. They are more misleading than helpful. Tourist attractions will generally be higher than what the book says but other prices will be close.
Locations - I live in the city of Wuhan and in the last two year it has undergone tremendous changes. There is simply no way for a printed book to keep up with them. For example, in the last six months the bus routes in WuChang have changed four times.
If you are going to travel around China be flexible! Expect that nothing in the guidebook will be where you expected. Expect to bargain for everything, hotel prices included. Remember that any guide book is only a starting place. As I have travelled around southern China I have used this book as a starting point and then asked the locals what they would do. Most have never been to the "tourist sites" but can show you a great street restaurant just around the corner.
This book is great for those thinking of going to China but who will never make the trip, or for those who are going on a package trip to fourteen cities in eight days. For those who want to explore China on their own I would advise caution.
2.0 out of 5 stars the not so holy travel bible,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet China 8th Ed.: 8th Edition (Paperback)
i would have to agree with the negative reviews i've seen, and also the majority of travelers i have met in china. we all carry around the lp "bible", but also agree that it is one of the worst publications they have. it seems as you travel along that maybe lonely planet has not visited china or the places it talks about in a while. unfortunately it is one of the only publications of its type and it does contain a minimum of information that one may find useful at times. most of the informatino is outdated, even though i'm using the 2003 edition. Not to mention that they add the poorly written humor instead of a little more chinese script, which let me tell you goes a long way in a country where once you're out of the main cities, very few people speak english, and when they do it is not the best. some more useful word and phrases would be great, instead of how to say "eel fried with spinach and mushrooms". just the words for muchrooms, noodles, and rice would be nice, instead of forcing you to buy the mandarin phrase book, just to get the basics. another complaint i would have is in the compactnes. i realize this is a large country, but i feel like a lot of the space dedicated to useless information and adveritisments that you can't ever remove (for more lp bibles...) could be put to some much better use. All in all i have to say that while containing some very useful information, you're much better off photocopying the important pages and leaving the book at home.

This review is from: Lonely Planet China 8th Ed.: 8th Edition (Paperback)
I will agree that the LP China is out of date in many places, but in all fairness the only way to bat a thousand would to assign a team of writers working 365/24/7 to cover a nation as immense.
That said, I have to slam LP for misleading buyers that these new editions have much new data. They also put down their host country and that is not appropriate for a travel guide. I know the writers are mostly young and from either Oz or USA. So they try to impose their cultural/political views on the reader. I know this because in the 7th Edition I am credited in the Nanjing/Jiangsu section by the writer. I was a student at Nanjing Univ.
LP's Robert Storey is guilty of slamming China too often. He lives in Taiwan and his head is full of pro independence nonsense. BTW - having also lived in Taibei - Storey is a bit of a joke amongst young expats as telling to many "stories" - pun intended! He misses critical details for a traveler and instead romances the reader with his BS!
As with other reviews, this book is a set of training wheels but it is not the Bible. DO NOT PAY $30...get it used!!!!!!!
1.0 out of 5 stars Equipment Failure,
J. Booth Woodruff (Yaiza, 35570, Lanzarote, Canary Islands Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet China 8th Ed.: 8th Edition (Paperback)
Backpacking in the mountains there is a thing called: equipment failure. It is when your sleeping bag does not keep you warm, even though you are well within the manufacture's temperature rating. It is when your tent leaks, where the manufacture did not get the stitching quite right. Depending on conditions such equipment failure can range from uncomfortable to fatal.
Recently I relied on Lonely Planet to bus from Hangzhou to Huangshan.
Time after time I found myself muttering to myself: Guide Book Failure!!! Guide Book Failure!!!
Guide book failure is normally not fatal.
And if you have a good sense of humor
and are a fairly seasoned traveller
it can be rather interesting
for you meet alot of friendly people who turned out to be very helpful.
So, as alot of other people above have pointed out, if you buy Lonely Planet, use it as a door stop, or place it on your coffee table, or press flower in it, but don't rely on it travelwise; and use your money instead to invite a few of the friendly, helpful people you encounter on your trip to China to a coffee, drink or meal.
Bon voyage
1.0 out of 5 stars An arrogant nightmare,
Anna "avid reader" (Cambridge, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet China 8th Ed.: 8th Edition (Paperback)
I agree with the previous reviewer when he says a) the arrogant tone of previous editions continues here, b) if you have an old edition, there is no need to upgrade, as there isn't much new here as they really don't update much. That second point is particularly egrigious, as there has been so much change in China of late. The most classic example is in the South West of China (there is a separate guidebook for this, which is better, but not much). The guidebook refers to Chengdu as "backpacker's paradise", but I'm here to tell you there are a lot of sorely disappointed backpackers who've wound up in Chengdu on this advice and left pretty quickly. Or tried to leave quickly but couldn't, as while the book tells you that there are 85 trains to different places, it shows there are four different train stations on the map in completely different places in town, wbut never tells you which is the main one or which one you might need to get to to get the heck out of dodge. Other descriptions include bus lines as "luxiourious rulers of the road" when there's not even a bus line in the town. This continues everywhere throughout the book. The Beijing section is *particularly* bad when it comes to listing cheap accomodation anywhere near Tianamen Square. According to the book, it is woefully lacking. But if they'd ever listed YHA hostels (they don't, who knows why), there's more cheap, clean, English speaking beds within walking distance of T-Square than you can imagine. Something like 2000 of them. When I met up with a friend in Beijing and we prepared to get on the Trans-Mongolian out of the country, we didn't even leave this book behind, we actually burned it and did a little dance that we wouldn't have to use it again.
2.0 out of 5 stars Inaccurate even when brand-new,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet China 8th Ed.: 8th Edition (Paperback)
I was carrying around a copy of the 7th edition LP China in Yunnan this past summer, and when I saw the newly-released 8th edition in a bookstore in Dali I snatched it up right away. Unfortunately, in Dali and in fact in most of Yunnan even the 8th edition seems to be already out of date; many of the Dali restaurants they mentioned didn't exist any more, and several of the hotels had either disappeared or become much more seedy than LP let on. Plus their descriptions seem out-of-date; in the last few years, all but the farthest reaches of Yunnan have gotten smothered with Chinese tourists, so a lot of the old town charm that they go on and on about simply doesn't exist any more. Admission fees at several places had gone up, too, in some cases (like Shilin) to such an extent that a budget traveler might change their mind about visiting them at all. This wasn't just confined to Yunnan, either; even in Shanghai it seemed that the guide was already out-of-date on several fronts.
There are also the usual LP problems: the arrogance and cynicism of previous LP China editions persists in this one, and while the maps are good (and expanded in detail) it would be nice if they'd list a few more hotels, particularly in China where they close and open so frequently.
If you've got an older edition of LP, don't bother upgrading; and if you're shopping around for a new China guide, don't let LP's publication date fool you into thinking it's any more accurate than its competitors.
5.0 out of 5 stars A very hard and very well-managed and great endeavour,
Maurizio Giuliano (Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet China 8th Ed.: 8th Edition (Paperback)
This edition of "Lonely Planet China" is excellent. It is better than the previous one, which was very good itself but had some weaknesses. Despite the immensity of China and the numberless topics and regions that have to be covered herein, the authors have done an excellent job indeed. Most of LP's masterpieces are guidebooks to much smaller countries or regions (it is indeed inevitable for travel guidebooks to be the better, in overall terms, the smaller the region they cover). But this one is an exception: despite its hugeness, China has been covered with superb maestry by people who do know about it. Having said this, we cannot diminish the importance of LP's guidebooks to Beijing and Shanghai - if you are planning to spend much time in those cities, it may be a good idea to get those guidebooks also, since this huge and heavy book cannot cover as much of those cities as the authors thsemselves would obviously love to. The same obviously applies for Hong Kong and Macau, Taiwan, and Tibet, all of which have generated their own LP guidebooks. Xinjiang is instead wonderfully covered in "LP Central Asia". This is not to persuade you to get more and more guidebooks, but China is indeed an immense place and one book can hardly be enough to cover it all in depth. In this book itself, its excellent coverage of some regions is stronger than others: it is better on the Coastal towns than it is on the deep interior of China, which reflects indeed the number of tourists who go to these places. Having said this, this book does nevertheless contain most of what a visitor will need or want to know about big China. And in a place that is chaotic and tough for foreigners like China, this may indeed be an essential tool for the less experienced travellers, and a greatly useful aid to the more experienced ones too. The coverage of places to stay and eat is absolutely excellent, not just for the major cities but also for minor towns and sites (the authors would indeed seem to have been to everywhere in China where the government did not stop them from going !). The section on permits and other legal matters is of immense value to anyone, and well up-to-date. And of course, the sections and special chapters on history, culture, religion, are extremely well written, great for the traveller and the armchair reader alike. Even though the best discoveries are those a traveller will make herself / himself, this guidebook is surely a great tool and help in anyone's discovery of this wonderful land. All in all, a masterpiece despite its limitations. A weakness is of course that things being as volatile as they are in China, information is subject to unexpected changes, and some may have become out-of-date by the time this book was printed. But this is of course inevitable, and it simply means that - as in any country - a traveller should not rely on only a guidebook, but make a considerable effort to gain as much as possible of current circumstances on her / his own, which is in fact part of the wonderful travel experience.
1.0 out of 5 stars don't buy this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet China 8th Ed.: 8th Edition (Paperback)
Admittedly there are not many other China guidebooks around, but this one seriously sucked. I bought one at my local bookstore for a recent trip to China and (i) the attitude of the editors is simply disgusting [If they can't appreciate the country then they shouldn't even bother to write a book about it] (ii) too much of the info is extremely outdated. We all know that China is growing rapidly and whatnot but that really is no excuse for Lonely Planet to not do their homework and give us horrendously erronous info (iii) Any 'off-the-beaten-track' sight featured in Lonely Planet books inevitably become tourist traps for obvious reasons. It's the last time I'm ever buying Lonely Planet books. (Of course, there's the whole bring-the-hippies-there-and-ruin-the-place thing, which is yet another reason not to buy more Lonely Planet books...)
2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing installment from LP,
"paulcporter" (Frankfurt, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet China 8th Ed.: 8th Edition (Paperback)
I have used Lonely Planet guides since 1996 to help me travel to nearly 30 countries and until now, I found them the best resource available for getting off the beaten tourist-track. Unfortunately, this edition of LP China disappoints. I like the logistical information (I give an extra star for that), but I am really dismayed at the emphasis given to popular spots, "backpacker meccas", places "beloved by backpackers", "a good place to 'kick back'", etc. It even goes as far as to show contempt for people looking for the "'real China'". I think I will look for another title, and if there is not a better one out there then I will write my own. As LP is alienating their core market here, maybe a new opportunity opens for new writers...
1.0 out of 5 stars Complete Crap,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet China 8th Ed.: 8th Edition (Paperback)
This book is so bad. If I could give it 0 stars believe me, I would. Many of the things listed in this book no longer exist. I went to one city and all 4 places listed in the LP as budget accomodations were no longer in business. Maps were incorrect. Attractions were listed with one address and placed elsewhere (and incorrectly) on the map. It would help greatly of it had more Chinese of the locations listed so you can show cab drivers. I finally gave up, chucked it into the trash and continued my 4 month trip through Asia without consulting any guidebook and had a much nicer time. Down with the Lonely Liar! You don't need a guide book. Just talk to other travelers.

Internal feud leaves Wiz shorthanded
Sat, Feb 10, 2007
By Associated Press
WASHINGTON --The running feud between Etan Thomas and Brendan Haywood escalated with another exchange of blows, leading to a two-game suspension for Thomas and leaving the Washington Wizards thin along the frontcourt.
Thomas was suspended for throwing a punch at Haywood during practice Friday. Thomas was retaliating for what he believed was an intentional elbow.
Thomas will miss games Sunday against Portland and Wednesday at Philadelphia. He will not practice with the team during the suspension.

Nash questionable
Sun, Feb 11, 2007
Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash is considered questionable for tonight's game against the Chicago Bulls because of a sore shoulder. Nash hasn't played since injuring his right shouldler against the Denver Nuggets Feb. 5.
"As soon as he's ready to go, he'll play," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni told the Arizona Republic Friday night.
Phoenix has struggled in the two games Nash has missed (1-1 ATS). Without their MVP, the Suns needed overtime to defeat the Portland Trail Blazers and lost to the Atlanta Hawks on Friday 120-111. Both games were home games for Phoenix.

Kings' C Miller out until after All-Star break
Sun, Feb 11, 2007
By Associated Press
SEATTLE -- The Sacramento Kings will be without center Brad Miller until after the All-Star break after pain from a partially torn fascia in his left foot flared up.
Miller was bothered of late by the foot and had an MRI done in Sacramento on Friday. He went through shootaround on Saturday, but doctors determined rest would be the best treatment.
The Kings, on a five-game straight up win streak (4-1 ATS), host the Sonics tonight in the second game of a home-and-home series.
Sacramento head coach Eric Musselman was at a mall getting lunch Saturday when he received a phone call that Miller wouldn't play in Sacramento's last four games before next week's All-Star break.
Shareef Abdur-Rahim started in place of Miller.
"One All-Star out, one All-Star in," Musselman said, in reference to Seattle getting back Rashard Lewis for Saturday's game."
Miller originally injured the foot in the third game of the season at Milwaukee and missed the next eight games. He also missed three games in January -- one with the flu and two for personal reasons -- but had been playing well of late, corresponding with the Kings' four-game win streak.
But when Miller would leave the floor, the pain in his foot would keep the 7-footer off his feet.
"I don't see it as much, but definitely when I got home there's not much walking around," Miller said.
Miller was playing just 19 minutes per game, down from the career-high 36.8 minutes he averaged last year. But the biggest change will be in the Kings' offensive execution as Miller is one of the top passing big men in the league.
In just his last five games, Miller had 25 assists. In the last 12 games, Miller was averaging 8.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists.
Miller expects to be ready when the Kings host Boston on Feb. 20, their first game after the All-Star break.
"I'm expecting to go," Miller said. "I'm just resting it and see what happens with that, and if it helps out, and then go from there."

What we do with your feedback
We are committed to promoting energy saving measures and improving the overall energy efficiency of homes in our area.
We are one of several local authorities which make up the Green Homes Together consortium which offers energy efficiency promotions to residents.
The latest deal will give homeowners and landlords the chance to purchase an A-rated energy efficiency boiler with guarantee and installation for a fixed price of £2,700.
For more details visit the Green Homes Together website
What is energy efficiency?
Being energy efficient is about making the best use of the energy resources we have. By reducing the amount of energy we need for heating, lighting and running appliances in the home we can save money and protect our environment. There are a number of straightforward ways of saving energy, making your home more efficient and cheaper to run. They include:
- improving insulation
- improving heating and hot-water controls
- fitting more efficient boilers and heaters
- using low-energy light bulbs and choosing energy efficient appliances.
Some cost nothing at all, such as switching off lights and electrical equipment and turning down thermostats.
We also have a grant called a CHEEP grant to help landlords improve the energy efficiency of rented accommodation.
Worried about your energy bills? You can get free impartial advice from the Oxfordshire Affordable Warmth Network helpline. Some ways for you to help keep costs down through energy efficiency improvements (such as insulation and heating upgrades) are set out below.
Green Deal
he Government launched a national scheme called the Green Deal which gives householders the chance to make energy-efficiency improvements to their homes and pay some of the cost back through savings achieved on their bills.
To access Green Deal finance, householders need to have their property assessed to identify suitable improvements and work must be carried out by an authorised Green Deal installer.
Energy Company Obligation
Alongside the Green Deal, the Energy Company Obligation (or ECO) is a scheme where large energy suppliers are required to help people keep their homes more energy efficient through funding. Through this scheme you may be eligible to receive energy efficiency grants of up to 100%.
Energy efficiency and Cherwell District Council
As part of a consortium of Councils and the National Energy Foundation, Cherwell District Council have launched Green Homes Together, a Community Interest Company.
Green Homes Together offer a range of energy saving improvements in partnership with qualified, experienced and reliable local installers. They can help you access funding to support the cost of some improvements and as an authorised Green Deal Provider can advise you and provide Green Deal Finance.
Green Deal Installer or participant?
If you are a company participating in the Green Deal or ECO and would like to work with Green Homes Together, please call 0300 111 3330.
Further information
To find out more about Green Homes Together:
- Visit the Green Homes Together website
- Call 0300 1113330
Energy Saving Advice Service
Independent and impartial advice about the Green Deal can be obtained on 0300 123 1234 or at www.gov.uk/greendeal
The Home Energy Conservation Act 1995 requires the council to produce reports setting out how it plans to help improve the energy efficiency of homes in the district. You can download the council's latest HECA report on the right as well as a supporting document that gives additional information on what has been achieved.
Bicester Green Deal Scheme
A special promotion of the government's new Green Deal Scheme has been running in Bicester. This has resulted in 100 Green Deal assessments being undertaken and retrofits showing what could be done using Green Deal. Find out more about the energy saving work in Bicester on the Eco Bicester website.
The Eco Bicester Boiler Scheme
Sorry, we have now closed the EcoBicester Boiler Scheme. However, if you have already registered you can still apply for the fund until the expiry date on your application form.
To find out about other opportunities to make your home more energy efficient, please call Green Homes Together on 0300 111 3330 and check if you are eligible for up to 100% funding for cavity wall and loft insulation.

Report: "Growing belief" that Kevin Garnett will play one more year, retire, and join T-wolves management
Originally written on Celtics Life | Last updated 11/17/14
In the NBA vernacular, this is known as a "Woj bomb". Or a nugget of information that for many writers would be a major scoop, but for Yahoo! Sports Adrian Wojnarowski, who breaks nearly every major NBA story, is just worthy of a sentence or two in paragraph six. Tonight, while discussing Doc Rivers joining the Clippers, Woj discussed how the deal impacted both Chris Paul and Kevin Garnett. Here's what he had to say about KG, and his future. Garnett has two years, $24.4 million left on his Celtics deal, but there's a growing belief that he'll play one more season before retiring and joining his old coach, Flip Saunders, with a ceremonial role in Minnesota Timberwolves ownership, league sources told Y! Sports. "The opportunity will be there for him," one source said, "but there's nothing decided yet." I know that KG is (by FAR) the greatest player in Timberwolves history, and I know that his loyalty is so vast that it cannot be measured by simple human measuring devices, but sti...

Service Employees Union Head Stepping Down
Andy Stern was most prominent Jewish labor leader
Andy Stern's retirement marks an end of an era: not just for the Service Employees International Union, which he separated from the historically dominant AFL-CIO and built into a political powerhouse, but for the Jews and the U.S. labor movement.
Several unions, most notably those of garment workers, have long been dominated by Jews even as the number of actual Jewish, say, garment workers has dwindled. (The main garment union is now an S.E.I.U. affiliate.) Last year, the Forward reported on the hasty marriage and then divorce of that major garment union (itself headed by a Jew) and a hotel employees' union. The paper reported: "The tradition of those old Jewish unions—bringing in immigrants and helping them step up to the middle class—seems to be the legacy that union activists watching the battle are most concerned about as the fights drag on."
Washington Post columnist Harold Meyerson penned an excellent essay last year on the decline of Irish-Americans in the leadership of America's labor movement. He noted that Jews have experienced a similar decline. The piece is worth a re-read today.
