15. A seal in accordance with claim 13 in which said continuous strip includes an outer surface, and a plurality of manually engageable flexible tabs removably adhered to said outer surface enabling installation of said seal in a progressive manner from a first end to a second end without manually engaging longitudinal edges of said seal.
Reference is made to my copending provisional application Ser. No. 60/091,226 filed Jul. 6, 1998 under the title Seal For Toner Cartridge.
This invention relates generally to the field of toner cartridges used in electro-photographic copying devices, and more particularly to an improved removable toner seal used to cover the elongated slot in the cartridge through which toner material flows during operation of the copier.
Various seal materials have been used to prevent toner from leaking out of the toner containment assembly, especially during shipping, prior to use of the toner cartridge. These materials have several requirements, including the ability to tear in a straight line, without tapering or reducing the width of the opening, and to be strong enough to prevent bursting of the seal material caused by the weight of the toner and a sudden impact, as could occur in shipping. The resulting unwanted bursting allows toner to leak from the cartridge.
Two common classes of seal materials are polyester and similar films, and ribbon materials, such as extruded polypropylene or extruded polyethylene. Ribbon materials are widely used in toner cartridges that are remanufactured. Such ribbon materials have suitable lengthwise or axial tensile strength, but the nature of the ribbon material is such that it is significantly weaker in a direction lateral to its principal axis, which is the tear direction. This weakness results in relatively low burst strength, but excellent pull-tear direction. The ribbon material is composed of fibers lightly fused together to form a continuous sheet of material. The fibers are fused in parallel alignment. This parallel arrangement creates a fault direction that allows tearing in a straight line.
In the prior art, to overcome the ribbon material weakness ninety degrees from the direction of the fiber alignment, it is known to apply a thin polyester lamination, to the ribbon material to increase its strength in the weak direction to prevent bursting, but this procedure also strengthens the seal in the tear direction. In so doing, the initial tear of the ribbon laminating strip is made more difficult, and if the laminating layer is too strong it overcomes the straight line tearing characteristic of the parallel ribbon fibers, which defeats the purpose of using the ribbon material. One solution for this problem is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,523,828, in which two small starting cuts are made parallel to the pull strip axis to provide easier tear starting, this being of particular importance with laminated material.
Briefly stated, the invention contemplates the provision of improved seals of the class described formed from ribbon or ribbon-like materials with essentially parallel nonwoven fibers which tear readily along the principal axis thereof In order to increase the bursting, i.e. transverse strength of the seal, and create a more controlled tear strip, certain areas of the ribbon material are formed to a higher degree of fusion, using heat, or through the application of adhesive backed laminating material in the form of reinforcing bands extending transversely of the axis of the strip. The former is employed in the case of heat fusible materials such as commonly used polypropylene or polyethylene. The latter is used in the case of non-fusible material in which case the laminating strips are adhesively attached using pressure sensitive, heat sensitive, and ultraviolet curing adhesives. There are many patterns which may be used to increase the strength of the seal in its transverse direction, depending upon the burst strength necessary for the particular cartridge assembly, and this, in turn, dependent upon the mass of the toner held by the seal, and the impact conditions that must be withstood. By causing more complete fusing of the film in a direction normal to the direction of tear, the inherent weakness of the material is overcome without loss of the formation of straight tear lines along the parallel fibers. In a preferred embodiment, additional laminating material is provided in the form of a complete strip extending the length of the seal, and laminated by heat sealing.
In the drawings, to which reference will be made in the specification, similar reference characters have been employed to designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a first embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view thereof.
FIG. 3 is a plan view of a second embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of a third embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 5 is a side elevational view thereof.
FIG. 6 is a transverse sectional view thereof as seen from the plane 6--6 in FIG. 4.
FIG. 7 is a top plan view of a fourth embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view thereof.
FIG. 9 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof as seen from the plane 9--9 in FIG. 8.
In accordance with the first embodiment of the invention, generally indicated by reference character 10, it includes a strip of fibrous non-woven material 11 bounded by first and second longitudinal edges 12 and 13, a first or leading end 14, a second or trailing end 15, as well as first and second planar surfaces 16 and 17, respectively. The second surface 17 is coated with a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive 18 which enables the strip to be secured to cover the slotted opening in a toner cartridge (not shown) through which toner material passes. The adhesive 18 is initially protected by a protective cover strip 19 which is progressively removed as the seal is engaged in position to cover the slotted opening in the toner cartridge.
The leading end 14 includes a tear strip 20 and first and second longitudinally extending areas of increased fusion 21 and 22 adjacent the tear strip, to form a tear area 23 therebetween. The tear strip is of width corresponding to the tear area, so that when the strip 20 is manipulated, the strip will tear along two parallel lines adjacent the inner edges of the areas 21 and 22. In this manner, the need for pre-cutting or perforating this area to facilitate tearing is eliminated, along with the possibility that bursting can occur in this area because of weakening of the material caused by the cuts or perforations.
Located between substantially uniform intervals 27 are a plurality of transversely oriented areas 28 of increased fusion which serve to increase the lateral strength of the strip against bursting, without interfering with the ability of the strip to be torn in a direction parallel to the principal axis.
In the first embodiment, these areas or bands are oriented normally with respect to the principal axis, and may include, if desired, a cosmetic affect, such as a brand name, or other graphic design. The width and spacing of the reinforced areas are, of course, dependent upon the burst resistance desired, and the accompanying lateral weakness of the seal. The goal of placement and width of the bands is to use as few as necessary, and to make them as narrow as can be effective. A typical example would be two 5 mm. by 3 mm. bands along the edge of both sides of the tear strip, as discussed above, and a series of 3 mm. wide bands spaced at 12 mm. intervals along the length of the seal and oriented perpendicular to the side edges of the tear strip.
One generally accepted burst test is one in which a toner cartridge is dropped from a height of three feet on each of four sides, and then on two corners, for a total of six drops. The toner cartridge is then disassembled and inspected for leaks. A successful test is one in which no leakage of toner is found. An additional requirement is that the seal is relatively easy to remove and that it tears in a straight line and does not taper or veer off as it is pulled, creating an insufficient opening for the toner to exit. This second requirement has been met by the use of non-woven textile material which is known in the art.
Turning now to the second embodiment of the invention, parts corresponding to those of the first embodiment have been designated by similar reference characters with the additional prefix "1".
In the second embodiment, the areas 128 are disposed at an angle with respect to the normal, and may be placed so that they overlap each other at the ends thereof.
Turning now to the third embodiment of the invention, to avoid needless repetition, certain of the parts corresponding to the first embodiment have been designated by similar reference characters with the additional prefix "2".
The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the provision of an additional strip of oriented material 30 which is interconnected to the strip 211 by heat sea led transversely-extending areas 228 approximately 3 mm. wide, and spaced at substantially uniform intervals of 12 mm. The layer 30 extends from a transversely extending edge 31 to a second transversely extending edge 32, and is entirely torn by the tear strip 220 along with the strip 211 of which it forms an extension.
The lamination of the strip 211 and the strip 30 at frequent transverse intervals imparts a substantial rigidity to the seal in a transverse direction, but not along its longitudinal axis, thus making it possible to position the seal upon the slotted opening of the toner cartridge in a progressive manner starting at one end thereof once the protective strip 219 is remove d. By so doing, it is possible to accurately align the seal with the toner cartridge opening as adhesion progresses, and it is also possible to partially disconnect portions of the seal for re-alignment and reattachment if necessary.
To make installation of the seal without the necessity of manually engaging the longitudinal end edge portions thereof which are adhesively coated on the lower surface, small attachment tabs 34 and 35 may be provided, each including a bent up portion 36 which is manually engageable by a user during installation. The tabs are temporarily attached to the exposed surface of the strip 30 by a pressure-sensitive material, and may be made of relatively thin paper stock, so as not to interfere with the flexibility of the seal along its principal axis. The tabs may also be formed of thin synthetic resinous material, including a vinyl component, in which event, a degree of adhesion may be obtained without the use of a pressure sensitive material. In either case, the tabs are serially removed as the seal is progressively adhered to the toner cartridge opening. In FIG. 4, the tabs are illustrated as two in number, but, if desired, they may be of greater number, and of shorter axial length.
Turning now to the fourth embodiment of the invention, parts corresponding to the first embodiment have been designated by similar reference characters with the additional prefix "3".
The fourth embodiment is particularly suited for use with larger toner cartridges having relatively larger slotted openings, and where the opening overlies another part of the cartridge, making installation somewhat more difficult. To accomplish this requires a seal of somewhat greater longitudinal rigidity which is provided by an additional apertured peripheral member of compressible material.
Referring to FIGS. 7, 8, and 9, there is illustrated a seal, generally indicated by reference character 310, which includes a foam lamina 40 which is co-extensive with the body of the seal and bonded thereto.
The purpose of the foam is to act as a sealing gasket between the toner hopper and either the printer/copier, or between the toner hopper and the attaching member called the developer assembly. This configuration is used in particular when a hoper must be sealed with these sections separated. They are assembled together after sealing by many means including adhesives, ultrasonic welding, and mechanical fasteners. Some toner hoppers are sealed and mounted directly into printers or copiers using tensioning methods where the foam gasket prevents toner leakage between the hopper and the printer/copier.
The lamina 40 includes peripheral edges 41, 42, 43, and 44, and defines a rectangular opening bounded by edges 45, 46, 47, and 48. The edge 41 may include a plurality of spaced through openings 49 which engage corresponding pins (not shown) on the toner cartridge after installation. The foam lamina, when laminated, adds additional strength to the seal in a lateral direction, and supplements the effect of the transversely-oriented areas 328. Because of the presence of the rectangular opening in the foam lamina 40, no additional tearing force is necessary when tearing the seal to open the same.
In the fourth embodiment, as with the first embodiment, the transversely-extending areas 328 may be so configured that the areas are wider, or more heavily fused at the terminal ends thereof commencing at the edges of the tear strip portion.
I wish it to be understood that I do not consider the invention to be limited to the precise details of structure illustrated and set forth in the specification, for obvious modifications will occur to those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains.

Regardless of how peaceful our world is today, Star Trek has always drawn on comparisons from the real world for its stories. That's a fact.

Certain aspects of the Typhon Pact, seem to resemble the
European Union
more - including shared government and single currency.
This is not a simple USA and China metaphor - the Typhon Pact does not resemble the single-state economic partner that China is to the USA (TNG arguably used the Romulans for that, at least to some extent, although they took on aspects of North Korea, Soviet Russia, etc, too) - neither does it seem to be a Warsaw Pact - with a giant Russia using the others as satellites.
If anything, the Typhon Pact resembles a kinda 'dark' EU - no EU member states have had recent major hostilities with the USA, and most are economic partners with the USA - but states in the Typhon Pact like the Tholians have had recent conflicts, and seem to be pretty economically independent of the UFP.
The EU was one of my first thoughts but it never crossed my mind to consider the TP as a 'dark' EU, mainly because there are not really any tensions between the US and the EU but there are with China but that's not the point of this thread. Perhaps they formed this new government because they didn't want to deal with a money-less society? Waiting for these books is going to be painful.

I'm having a hard time figuring out where the problem is coming from, so I'm posting this in the hopes that others might have found something similar to this elsewhere and are kind enough to share their insight.
I'm using a JBoss 5.0.1.GA application server running on top of a Sun Java 1.6.0-13 JDK. For the WAR file in the generated Web Service, I use a Axis2 1.4 WS engine whose JAR files are inserted by Eclipse Galileo into the project's
WEB-INF/lib directory when creating the Webservice from the given "worker" class in the Dynamic Web Project. The relevant code snippet follows:
String sUrl = "http://example.com/datafile.xml";
String sPath = "/some/xpath/string";
InputStream input = new URL(sUrl).openStream();
InputSource source = new InputSource(input);
DocumentBuilderFactory docFact = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder parser = docFact.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = parser.parse(source);
XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
// error occurs here:
String result = (String) xpath.evaluate(path,doc,XPathConstants.STRING);
This is the error I'm getting from the JBoss log:
java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation: when resolving field "STRING" the class loader (instance of org/jboss/classloader/spi/base/BaseClassLoader) of the referring class, javax/xml/xpath/XPathConstants, and the class loader (instance of <bootloader>) for the field's resolved type, javax/xml/namespace/QName, have different Class objects for that type
I could use the
XPath.evaluate(String,Document) — however there are occasions where I need to get (for example) a
XPathConstants.NODESET instead, so it's a no-go. I have also tried to fumble a little by littering some
jboss-web.xml files here and there in the WAR file, but with no effect.
What I'm trying to understand is:
- Where could the error be coming from? The JBoss class loader? Some weird interaction between JBoss and the Sun JDK? Some weirdness introduced by Eclipse when creating the Web Service? Maybe some confusion introduced by the Axis2 libraries deployed within the WAR?
- I've found instances of compiled class files in what looks like a triple-whammie:
- Sun JDK (file
- JBoss libraries (
$JBOSS_HOME/lib/endorsed/stax-api.jar); and
- Axis2-deployed libraries (
- Sun JDK (file
- How exactly am I supposed to configure JBoss to tell it which classes it's OK to load from "other" libraries from? Specifically, the
jaxax.xml.namespace.QNameis is causing the grief.
Thank you in advance.

Just received my mail order on my first three CT shirts. Wow! The material, cut and style is on par with $100+ shirts I own. The brass collar stays is a great finishing touch. Moving forward I see myself only purchasing my dress shirts from CT. Look for deals. No need to pay full price. I was able to get all shirts for $29 each opposed to the $59 advertised.

The accountants have taken over this business - they have restricted the range so nowadays there is very limited choice and everything is very much the same. Very difficult to find four shirts to take advantage of the permanent "deal".

Worse experience buying a suit by far. Good people but could not get it right.

Review for Best Friends Animal Society, Kanab, UT, USA
This was the best adventure I was ever on! Everyone is so happy and cheerful and positive, from the workers, to the pets to the volunteers! It was awesome. I think ALL shelters should come for a visit and see why your facility is the tops. Every single shelter ought to be run like yours. Then, they would be happy places to visit, adopt from, donate to, and volunteer at etc...
Positive and grateful, all shelter workers could benefit from that attitude, so could the animals in your care.
Thanks for being awesome!

41 year old man | Orlando, FL, USA | Seeking women 29-46 within 60 miles
Respect the Chemistry!
Hello! I'm a single male living in Orlando, Florida. I love adventure, traveling, going to concerts, the beach, watching comedians, trying out new restaurants, seeking new adventures, exercising, and living life to the fullest. Anyway, I consider myself a nice gentleman that can be funny, creative, strong, romantic, fun, intelligent, entertaining, and compassionate. Even though I live life to the fullest, it can get lonely at times not having someone to share it with. I'm looking to meet a nice, intelligent, professional, caring woman. Not interested in online scam artists, one time courtesy e-mails, one word answers, or being lifelong text buddies....No alcoholics, liars, wackjobs, married women or psychos please (If you're all of the above, log off and please get some help). I don't feel the need to take shirtless pictures in my bathroom, or pictures with cars. I think that's pretty lame, and a woman deserves better than that. I'm a straight shooter when it comes to my profile. I'm really 6'2, and I look like my pictures. I'm not here to waste anyone's time so please don't waste mine! When it comes to life I have nothing to hide, can you say the same? I'm hoping to connect with someone who wants to learn more about the man behind this profile. Also, I don't want to be the one asking "all" the questions (I'm not a talk show host). I want to feel that you're interested, so ask me what you would like to know. If you're not interested I will just move on to another profile, there's plenty to choose from (you're not the only one on here). Good luck with the site everybody, some of us are really going to need it!

Customer Reviews
Allows User Great Control
Fotor offers a decent amount of features that are directly related to image enhancement and filtering but my favorite aspect is that it has just the right amount of transition that it doesn't make the photo lose quality and gives the user control on how much (contrast, saturation, or a filter) goes into the edit. This is an important feat that is ahead of the game with apps like PicsArt where just moving the brightness toggle a tiny bit will blow out the photo. I like Fotor's design, it is easy to navigate easily to whatever feature I'm needing. However, things I would like to see Fotor improve in is more free frames and clip art as well as maybe giving a mask feature where you can overlay multiple layers. Sometimes it feels so stuck in this area that after I've plateaued with editing in Fotor, I take my image to another editor to finish it.
Simple to Use w Great Export Options!
I picked up Fotor a while ago, but didn't really start using it until recently, when I went back to using Instagram. One thing that's frustrating about IG is that you're stuck with a square picture no. matter. what.
Fotor is a great app for getting around this difficulty. Once you've selected your photograph and used whatever (if any) filters you'd like, you can export to IG, and Fotor will add white bars to the top & bottom of your photo so it fits the required square format.
In addition to these features, you can also add text to your pictures, which can be anything from silly stickers and blurbs to a name and date with a © symbol. I tend to run most of my pictures through Fotor before posting elsewhere.
Enjoying this one very much
I have downloaded many photo editing apps only to be disappointed and delete them almost right away. This one is great. It's simple to use, has all of the editing options in a very simple format right there a touch away. I didn't have to wait for anything to load. I took a very plain, unexciting photo to use as practice my first time using this app, and I quickly turned it into something quite special, actually. I'm really happy with it so far.

Faced with grave international disputes, military actions around the world, and vicious partisan bickering in Congress, what might be a president's greatest fear?

Les Kinsolving has filled that role for decades, and his maverick reporting style has endeared him to a host of fans that watch with glee while Kinsolving makes politicians squirm.

Originally written on Lady At The Bat | Last updated 7/3/13
The Yankees beat the Twins again last night, continuing their dominance over Minnesota which began after Ron Gardenhire was named manager. Unlike the previous game, there were no records set last night. They got a lead, the bullpen made it close and Mariano Rivera came in to close it out. Yankees win, theeeeeee Yankees win.Speaking of Ron Gardenhire, it was he who came up with the idea to construct a rocking chair made out of broken bats to present to Rivera as the Twins' retirement gift to him. Pretty cool, right?Photo From HardballTalk.comFittingly, it's called the Chair Of Broken Dreams, for all the bats Rivera broke, as well as, I suppose, the dreams the Twins have had, which Rivera and the Yankees have broken over the years.The Yankees will attempt to continue breaking those dreams in the final two games of the series, before returning to the Stadium this weekend. Good luck Yankees, and a good time to everyone in Yankees Universe. Happy Fourth Of July Weekend!

Bill Would Grant Loans for Nuclear Power Plants
A single sentence in the energy bill just passed by the Senate could grant nuclear power plant builders billions of dollars in government loan guarantees. There are plans in the works to build 28 new nuclear reactors in the United States, and the price of a single plant is about $5 billion. New York Times reporter Matt Wald talks with Alex Cohen.

Windows 10 is a huge step forward into the future! Or wait, isn't it a step back? Either way, it's a technical preview that isn't finished yet, which gives us a huge opportunity to help shape what the final version might look like.

When it comes to accessing your email, POP3 vs. IMAP isn't just a matter of preference. POP3 is old, outdated, and not suitable for the modern world. IMAP is the one you should be using.
Windows runs well in Boot Camp on a Mac — mostly. Battery life is below what you'd experience in OS X, the trackpad isn't as smooth, and the keyboard layout is weird. The tools below can help.
A Mac's keyboard layout just isn't quite right for Windows. Whether you're primarily a Windows user or primarily an OS X user, the layout doesn't feel quite right when you run Windows in Boot Camp — but you can fix that.
Choosing the best Wi-Fi channel on your router helps to reduce interference and improve your WI-Fi signal. These tools will help you identify the least congested Wi-Fi channel in your area.
Windows 10 finally gives us back the Start Menu, and it's much more customizable than it ever has been before. Here is a quick rundown of all the different ways that you can customize it.
You probably shouldn't install Windows 10 on your primary PC. But, if you are going to, you should at least install it in a dual-boot configuration. You can then reboot to switch between your installed versions of Windows.
Want to install Windows 10 on your own PC? We've got you covered with the instructions, although it's just like installing any other version of Windows.
The Windows 10 Start Menu is really quite busy with all of those live tiles all over it. If that isn't your thing, luckily you can remove them all really easily.
App extensions allow you to extend iOS's Share menu with any service you like, add browser actions to Safari or Chrome, use custom photo-editing tools in the Photos app, and integrate cloud storage services with any app.
Today Microsoft officially announced the next version of Windows, which was expected to be called Windows 9, or maybe Windows One, or even maybe just Windows. But it's Windows 10. Here are the highlights.
iPhones and iPads can now use widgets thanks to iOS 8. In fact, you probably already have some widgets installed — they're all just disabled by default. Here's how to enable and use those widgets you already have.
If you've purchased a "System Builder" OEM copy of Windows 8.1 from Amazon, Newegg, or another online retailer, you're probably violating the Windows license agreement. That means you technically have a "non-genuine" copy of Windows.
We send a lot of email these days—at work, at home, on our phones… But do you know what all the email jargon means? Keep reading to find out more about the difference between the various ways to receive email.
With iOS 8, Apple added a way to see which apps are draining your battery the most. This includes apps that drain your battery in the background — something that's possible on iOS thanks to iOS 7's "background refresh" feature.
Your smartphone — and other devices that use Wi-Fi — broadcast a unique number when they search for nearby Wi-Fi networks. A device's unique MAC address is sent along with "probe requests" that search for nearby Wi-Fi networks.
Windows doesn't offer a built-in way for users to make a window always-on-top. There are many third-party tools for this, but they're often bloated and clunky. Some just don't work well on the modern 64-bit version of Windows.
Linux's GRUB2 boot loader can boot Linux ISO files directly from your hard drive. Boot Linux live CDs or even install Linux on another hard drive partition without burning it to disc or booting from a USB drive.
You probably shouldn't update your BIOS, but sometimes you need to. Here's how to check what BIOS version your computer is using and flash that new BIOS version onto your motherboard as quickly and safely as possible.
Even with the advances in Wi-Fi routers it's still possible you have a dead spot or two in your house (and if you have an older router it's likely you have entire portions of your home with a poor or non-existent signal). D-Link's DAP-1250 offers a dead simple and low-profile way to extend the reach of your home network.
Microsoft's Windows To Go feature installs Windows as a live system on a bootable USB drive. It's officially only for Enterprise editions of Windows, but we've found a way to do it with any edition of Windows 8 or 8.1.
Ubuntu doesn't offer the Safe Mode and Automatic Repair tools you'll find in Windows, but it does offer a recovery menu and a reinstall option that keeps your files and programs.
When Windows blue-screens, it creates memory dump files — also known as crash dumps. This is what Windows 8's BSOD is talking about when it says its "just collecting some error info."
Ubuntu and most other Linux distributions now use the GRUB2 boot loader. You can change its settings to select a default operating system, set a background image, and choose how long GRUB counts down before automatically booting the default OS.
The System Information panel has always been a great way to get more information about your system, but in Windows 8 you will have a hard time figuring out how to open it. Here's how to do it.

As a retired physician and a person with asthma I endorse the recommendation (Fairmeadow) to ban wood-burning ALL the time.
It's no fun having to struggle to breathe these days, and to be confined indoors. What may have been comforting in the past when there were no alternatives, and a source of cozy memories for many, is now a threat to the health of 5-10% of children and adults in our communities. Now that there are safer alternatives concern for the public health demands that we ban use of all existing wood-burning fireplaces.

During the winter, there is so much burning in southern Palo Alto that the neighborhood smells like it is on fire on sunny days. Is the rest of the city any better?

No. 8 Penn State women edge Minnesota 64-59
It didn't help Penn State that Lucas was often the team's only offensive threat for long spurts. Bentley struggled with her mid-range jumper, while Greene and the Lady Lions' other inside players struggled to make shots whether open or with hands in their faces.
That changed midway through the second half, when Greene hit a layup to tie the score at 47 before converting a missed foul shot for a three-point lead. Then Bentley finally found her shot with a mid-range jumper for a 52-47 lead with 5:28 left.
Greene finished with nine points on 3-of-11 shooting — all three makes in the final 7:54.
Minnesota never took the lead again, but the Gophers never made it easy. Riche's layup with 50 seconds left drew her team to 60-59, but Lucas hit all four of her foul shots during the final stretch and Penn State forced two turnovers in the last 7 seconds.
The Lady Lions are off to their best start since 1999-00.
Minnesota tested Penn State from the start, wiggling past the Lady Lions' tough defense with dribble penetration to help stay within 31-29 at halftime. Cotton gave Minnesota a spark off the bench in the first half with four rebounds and five points, reaching her season averages.

We enjoyed staying in Jay's place in Pui village in Lantau. It is a small village, very quiet. Great place to relax after a long flight or wanting a break from the city. Surrounding is lush green with nice trails to walk and hike. Access to a beach is only 10 minutes walk. Jay house is everything one would expect in a village environment but with luxury of modern life, like AC, Internet! Jay was very responsive, and always very helpful. We would definitely stay again.
Everything worked well. Jay's place was easy to find. The house is simple, yet spacious and the rooftop a gem to hang out and relax. Appliances all worked like a charm. Potential previous issues have since been fixed. The house can easily host 4 or 5 people. Traveling as a couple we missed a double bed, but it was not too much of a problem.
Arriving at the house, we found that unlike the pictures it is very cluttered both inside and out. While inside seemed clean there is a strong damp/musty smell in all the rooms that had us both sneezing constantly so we spent as much time outside as possible. The cooking facilities boasted in the description were not pleasant to use given that all the pans were stored outside and dirty. The little water that flowed from the 'kitchen' sink made it very difficult to clean anything.
This place was quite a disappointment given some of the great reviews that other people had left.
Also communication wasn't so good. Jay didn't answer initial queries for tips on restaurant recommendations or access to the rock pools until I asked again on our last day... also we were told on the day of arrival we couldn't check in until 3pm...
We loved Pui O, and chatting with the locals, will be back to Lantau but not to this house.
We stayed at Spring water Beach Garden house for 3 nights and was very disappointed by our experience. Firstly the pictures depicted on Air BnB are not accurate and do make the place look a lot nicer than it actually is. There is mould on the walls, plaster and paint coming off the walls and a damp smell. There is no DVD player or Tv, even tho it states there is and is even shown in a picture. I laughed when Jay states there is a new air conditioner in each room! They are in fact old and noisy!
The house is not easily found and it was a stroke of luck we bumped into a local who helped us with directions. It is NOT 3 minutes from the beach, but a more realistic 10-15 minute walk. When we arrived washing was hanging up all over the outside kitchen area, so we had to navigate that to enter the house (and I later had to take it down so we could sit at the table!). Not a great way to welcome your guests!!
The hot water unit in the bathroom is extremely dangerous. An overflow valve from the unit pours out scalding water and nearly injured my 2 year old who we were showering. The power in the house trips all the time and at one stage we were in the house in total darkness with no matches or a lighter to help us see. There was no gas in the bottle for the outside stove and when you went to use the electric part of the stove the power tripped!
The kitchen items are not the best and reminded me of a backpacking communal kitchen....ie odds and sods of this and that. To be honest, for the money we paid, it was well overpriced and we had no alternative to stay as it was Easter and we could not move to other accommodation.
The house is unsafe and is not depicted honestly by the owner. I would not recommend staying there. Surely Air BnB should make sure that each listing they have is in fact correctly and truthfully listed. I'm disappointed in Air BnB as well as we took it on face value that you have made sure the listing is accurate. I know they do that in Australia!!
Do no stay here. It is a waste of money and the house in unsafe,
Jay was really helpful arranging the reservation, especially because we had a slight change and he was accommodating.
The house was perfect for a local HKer who knows their way around Lantau, but may be a bit tricky for a newbie.
The shower was great, I loved the details of the rocks in the bathroom. The only caveat was we didn't realize all the beds were single beds, so my spouse and I stayed in separate beds, but got good sleep! Because of the humidity the mold is a bit obvious, so if you are allergic, it may be best to stay elsewhere. But the beach is very close and we love Pui O!
Jay's communication was great for our last minute booking. Like other reviewers said, finding the house was a bit tricky. Thankfully, some friendly expats who were drinking at the local convenience store were friendly enough to take us for a walk to find the house. The space was large by HK standards but a bit cluttered. The location of the village is excellent and I loved the serenity as compared to downtown HK. All in all it was a good trip and a nice base for exploring the local area. If you want a quieter side of HK, this is the place for you!
This air bnb experience made me doubt how much I could trust the users' reviews. We booked Jay's house based on the positive reviews but we ended up couldn't stay in the house because of it's condition.
The house feels unclean, there's musky moldy odor despite a new air purifier was on. The bathroom floor was moldy. The shower boiler was dangerous as it leaked really hot water while I was showering. The host said it's becuz I set it to high setting but in fact I set it to medium.
There was sparks coming out the switch when I switched off the air conditioner.
We decided we couldn't stay at the house and since the cancellation policy was strict, we couldn't get any refund except the cleaning fee. It's a complete waste of time and money.
This host has 15 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
About the Host, Jay
Hi I am Jay and I'm a eco-designer based in Hong Kong. I have designed an amazing living space that I would love to share with travelers who are looking for a unique living experience in Hong Kong! Both listings have their own private beach and nature plus lots of clean air to breathe! The house by the beach has spring water connection and living wall gardens are up on both listings. Enjoy! :)
