He still makes music? Justin Bieber sings defiantly on Broken, his first track released since Miami arrest a month ago
One could almost forget that Justin Bieber is a musician and not just a magnet for trouble.
The pop star, who will celebrate his 20th birthday Saturday, released his first track since his post-drag racing arrest in Miami on January 23 on charges of resisting officers and driving under the influence.
Late Friday night, the troubled singer tweeted a link to a mixtape site that featured the hip hop song Broken on a playlist called We Know The DJ Radio 4 from DJ Tay James.
Getting back on track: The 19-year-old pop star, pictured on tour in Paraguay in November, released a brand new single late on Friday night, titled Broken - his first since his Miami arrest on January 23
In Broken, which also features rapper Blake Kelly, Justin defiantly sings, 'they're persistent, trying to break me down / I cannot be broken.'
Other lyrics include: 'I cannot be broken / They can't take what's mine / Someone like me is hard to find.'
In another verse, he croons 'I guess they want a reaction / I ain't gonna give it to 'em / I cannot be broken / Like I know you were hoping.'
That's racy: The pop star was driving this yellow sports car with model Chantel Jeffries as his passenger when he was arrested last month
What, me worry?: The 19-year-old did not appear to be too concerned in his mug shot
The track, which is nearly three minutes long, wraps up with a verse about 'a cruise on the smooth highway / I ain't even trying to get away.'
The wild child is about to reject a plea deal in the Miami case, which would require him to submit to random drug testing, according to TMZ.
The State Attorney was allegedly ready to drop resisting arrest and DUI charges if Justin agreed to undergo random testing for substance use and commit 40 hours of community service, but sources say the singer will reject the offer.
According to the site, sources close to Bieber believe the prosecutor's offer should be declined because Justin doesn't want to be under the constant threat of probation.
As part of the deal, prosecutors also asked that Bieber attend an alcohol education course as well as a victim impact panel, where he will hear stories from the family and friends of DUI victims.
But sources tell TMZ that Bieber feels this would make him a spectacle.
The Canadian-born singer would also be required to have an ignition interlock device installed in his vehicle for three months.
Stay away: Neighbors in a wealthy section of Atlanta where Justin is considering buying a home are none too thrilled with the prospect of having him down the street
Launching pad: The Baby singer has been renting out this spaceship-like mansion in Atlanta owned by producer Dallas Austin
The Boyfriend singer is still also dealing with the legal fallout from an egg-throwing incident in his Calabasas, California, neighborhood, which is under investigation by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office.
Justin is reportedly considering purchasing an $11m, seven-bedroom, 16,000 square-foot mansion built in 2010, to be near the hip-hop community in the Atlanta area, according to TMZ.
Residents of the well-to-do Buckhead neighborhood were planning to stage a protest at 6 a.m. on Monday outside the Blackland Road property the pop star has his eye on.
'As a community here in Buckhead, we have worked hard to achieve our goals and get to where we are. Justin Bieber's relocation to Atlanta can be nothing but bad for our children, as well as the community,' reads a statement on the Facebook page.
Not over yet: The troubled star will reportedly reject a plea deal in relation to his Miami case
Nobody wins: The Canadian-born singer was the butt of jokes when Canada played the USA in Olympic hockey
'Some can't even let their children
play in the driveway without fear; he has raced vehicles under the
influence before. What's to say he won't do it again?' added the post.
He's currently staying in a home that has a spaceship-inspired design. It's owned by producer Dallas Austin.
As if he didn't have enough drama already, Bieber was made the butt of a joke by a company in Illinois, which paid for a large billboard ahead of Friday's high-stakes hockey game between the U.S. and Canada at the Sochi Olympics, as DNAInfo Chicago first reported.
The electronic advertisement, which went up along Edens Expressway in Chicago, depicts the singer flanked by Team USA's Patrick Kane and Team Canada's Jonathan Toews with a caption that read: 'Loser Keep Bieber.' Canada won the game.

And the race is on. The cloud industry is abuzz with recent M&A and product news pointing towards what appears to be the Holy Grail for helping large companies move to the cloud with confidence. Both private and public cloud vendors are vying for a spot in the relatively new and rapidly growing market segment of enterprise cloud. CenturyLink swooped up Tier 3 in an attempt to establish a stronger enterprise offering; Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced its enterprise play at re:Invent; IBM acquired SoftLayer; and even the Google Compute Engine has been quick to follow in the footsteps of its competitors.
As each vendor makes a move to build a top-tier enterprise cloud, others will counter. With so much product and M&A activity going on, all that's left to ask is: What's next?
Enterprise Cloud Market Dynamics
Now that the basic self-service public cloud has been fine-tuned and heavily utilized (and with very little empty space given AWS' significant presence), cloud vendors are pivoting to take advantage of new market segments surrounding the enterprise.
Enterprise IT is rightly risk averse. They have high expectations of uninterrupted performance and need to meet the highest standards for security and compliance. Enterprises traditionally run a complex IT operation supporting many different applications, and require high levels of performance and security.
Moving these production and mission-critical applications to the cloud is by no means an easy feat. Most applications pre-date the cloud and were not written to adapt to its dynamic, on-demand and shared resources. Cloud vendors cannot simply rebrand a (dedicated) hosting offer as cloud for enterprises and expect adoption; the proper tools and capabilities must be in place.
Security and performance mean everything to enterprises. They need to meet stringent business and audit requirements. Cloud providers are working feverishly to adhere to these criteria, hence the recent push throughout the cloud industry for enhanced cloud security compliance standards and performance assured SLAs.
To stay ahead of the curve and address enterprise needs, companies like CenturyLink, and IBM earlier this year, pinpointed valuable technologies and acquired them. They are now integrating the solutions of these acquisitions, Tier 3 and SoftLayer respectively, to better optimize compute memory, network and storage. We've also seen new capabilities added to enhance existing software solutions (with announcements by VMware, various open stack vendors, Joyent and my company, Virtustream). Through acquisitions and new product releases, providers are working toward comprehensive cloud stacks that support multiple market segments (SMBs and enterprises, test/dev and production environments).
As a measure of success in the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS market), the Gartner Magic Quadrant ranks the top 15 providers. In the course of six months, two of the top 15 have been acquired (Tier 3, SoftLayer), two have made major acquisitions to improve their positions (IBM, CenturyLink), two have announced major strategic shifts (Verizon, HP) and there are only three private companies left on the list (Virtustream, Joyent, GoGrid). The chess board is very active.
Enterprise Cloud Is Anyone's Race
The cloud stack wars are intense with large groups like VMware enhancing private virtualization, and open source movements like OpenStack and Apache CloudStack enhancing capabilities and strengthening public multi-tenant clouds. AWS has built a compelling business with their self-service, best-efforts public cloud. OpenStack has begun to build the foundation of an open source alternative, although it is still far off from being a full-function cloud stack. We're also seeing cloud specialists like Virtustream, Tier3, Joyent and smaller start-ups enhancing cloud security, usability, performance and compliance, helping to extend the cloud use cases to mission-critical applications.
AWS's success in the DevOps, SaaS, backup/DR space is impressive, but its impact on the enterprise market has been limited to date. Given that the vast majority of enterprise apps that are 'traditional' applications (like ERP, CRM, DB and custom applications) are only now beginning to move to the cloud, we have only seen the tip of the iceberg that will rip through the enterprise IT market.
Looking ahead, the only safe prediction to make is that there is a lot more growth in enterprise cloud still to come. We'll see continued enhancements to 'basic' cloud capabilities, new use cases like 'classic enterprise applications' and considerable further innovation as more valuable IP and solutions are developed. It remains an open question whether it will be the larger software companies, the public cloud giants or the new innovators who will be the first to develop and deliver well-rounded, full-function cloud stacks.
This year, expect the battle for the enterprise cloud market to heat up even further. As a $3.8 trillion dollar enterprise IT market continues to move to the cloud in 2014, the key players are going to be in flux for some time to come. Right now it's anyone's race but those vendors that can demonstrate enterprise class performance, security and hybrid capabilities will emerge as the winners.
When people aren't talking about VMs and containers, they're talking about serverless architecture. Serverless is about no maintenance. It means you are not worried about low-level infrastructural and operational details. An event-driven serverless platform is a great use case for IoT.

In the world of DevOps there are 'known good practices' – aka 'patterns' – and 'known bad practices' – aka 'anti-patterns.' Many of these patterns and anti-patterns have been developed from real world experience, especially by the early adopters of DevOps theory; but many are more feasible in theory than in practice, especially for more recent entrants to the DevOps scene.

Artists for second phase of Waukesha GuitarTown will be announced Monday
Public reception to take place at Bernie's Tap Room & Restaurant in downtown
Waukesha GuitarTown is getting bigger in its second go-around.
Waukesha GuitarTown spokesman Norm Bruce said 15 artists have been chosen to decorate the 10-foot tall fiberglass sculpture Gibson Les Paul guitars and 24 for the playable regular-sized guitars as part of the public art project.
These artists will be announced during a public reception from 5 to 6 p.m. Monday at Bernie's Tap Room & Restaurant, 351 W. Main St., in downtown Waukesha.
The 39 guitars for the project is an increase from the 30 in last year's project – 20 playable and 10 oversized guitars. After they were revealed in early June, the large guitars resided outside downtown businesses as part of a walking tour. The regular-sized guitars were put inside selected downtown businesses.
Like last year, Lynn Gaffey, a downtown art gallery owner and the artistic director of the Waukesha GuitarTown Steering Committee, chose the selected artists.
Artists submitted a biography, portfolio and proposed conceptual ideas with selection based on artistic merit and the guidelines for public art that were provided by both Gibson and the Public Art Committee of Waukesha.
Last year's guitars paid homage to the late Les Paul, a famous musician and inventor who was born and is buried in Waukesha.
Gibson Guitar Co. manufactures guitars designed by Paul and a partnership was developed between Mayor Jeff Scrima and Gibson representatives during a 2011 memorial dedication at Paul's gravesite at the Prairie Home Cemetery in Waukesha.
Like last year, Bruce said the playable guitars will be sent to Gibson Co. in Nashville, Tenn., for strings and related hardware before returning to Waukesha.
GuitarTown Encore will also model last year's event when the guitars will be unveiled during the first Friday Night Live of the season (June 7) in downtown Waukesha. Friday Night Live is a music series during the summer months in downtown.
The Gibson Guitar Foundation and local sponsorships are funding this community art project.
There were more than 30 sponsors last year and the project raised $105,000 for three local charities – $45,000 for the Waukesha Public School District to purchase new musical instruments and art supplies; $45,000 for the new Les Paul exhibit at the Waukesha County Museum; $15,000 for the Waukesha Memorial Hospital to help fund the new Community Health Clinic.
Sponsorships (which have different levels) are available by contacting Waukesha GuitarTown Chairman Rick Congdon through www.waukeshaguitartown.com.
Other cities that have formed partnerships with Gibson to become GuitarTown cities include Hollywood, Calif., Cleveland, Miami, Orlando, Fla., London, Austin, Texas, and Nashville.

Congrats, you're all calling it a copy of GC because of two factors that don't even matter since most main characters have a special ability, and they all have to fight something. I do agree that it's more like NGE though. I'm not seeing any legit reasons as to why you …

Francois Botha, the former heavyweight world champion beaten by former All Black Sonny Bill Williams on Friday night, has tested positive to a banned substance.
Botha, whose claims that he did not know the WBA international heavyweight bout would only last 10 rounds have also now been discredited, failed a drugs test on the eve of the fight.
Results of a urine sample submitted by the 44-year-old South African in Brisbane last Tuesday under WBA regulations show he had Phentermine - a banned stimulant - in his system.
The drugs test, which has now been forwarded to the WBA's global headquarters in Panama, also detected Benzodiazepine, which suggested Botha was also using a valium-type product.
After the fight, Williams has tried to placate Botha with a rematch in South Africa, although it seems unlikely to be sanctioned by the World Boxing Association.
As condemnation stemming from Friday night's controversial bout at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre continues, Williams confirmed his post-fight offer to resume their unfinished business at the end of his National Rugby League campaign with the Sydney Roosters.
Botha demanded a rematch after their battle for the vacant belt culminated in the 44-year-old claiming he had been robbed of the title because the duration of the contest was surprisingly shortened from the regulation 12 rounds to 10.
Williams won by unanimous points decision but was on the verge of losing his unbeaten professional record - now 6 and 0 - after Botha landed telling blows in the dying seconds.
The former All Black formalised his offer to fight Botha again via his Twitter account yesterday saying: "After, God willing, having a good footy season, I'll gladly rematch Mr Botha. Even in South Africa". In a rare moment of levity after the fight Williams joked he would happily fight in Cape Town because he would boast a bigger fan base than the Afrikaner - a by-product of his rugby-based popularity with the coloured community.
However, should the rematch eventuate there is only expected to be pride on the line as the WBA continue to probe the so-called title fight.
Advised that his organisation's "prestigious" title has been "disgraced" by the dramas that unfolded on Friday night, WBA vice-president Gilberto Mendoza has pledged to investigate.
"Reading all about the controversy," he posted on Twitter.
The Panamanian has already been beaten to the punch by the WBA's Oceania representative Brad Vocale who cast serious doubts over the legitimacy of a main event broadcast live in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
The WBA stipulates its title fights must be contested over 12 three-minute rounds but as far as Vocale was concerned that discrepancy was just the beginning.
"This fight was advertised as a WBA international fight, I have my doubts as to whether it actually was really sanctioned by the WBA," Vocale told Australia's Fox Sports network.
He said a title fight between a novice with just five bouts on his resume (Williams) and an opponent well past his prime (Botha) made a mockery of the WBA belt.
Williams had never fought 10 rounds until Friday night so was not qualified to even challenge for a WBA crown, according to Vocale.
Botha had also lost four of his previous five fights, yet to Vocale's dismay, "All of a sudden they're fighting for a vacant title".
He said the absence of a WBA appointed referee, judge or supervisor at the venue further diminished the legitimacy of the bout. To complicate matters even further, Queensland does not have a legislated body to oversee boxing events - a loophole which can make the state an attractive staging point.

Q: I am a youth minister who likes to keep my students and parents informed by sending text messages with my cell phone. I just purchased an iPhone and was wondering if the iPhone allows you to send multiple text messages to groups?
- Michael
A: Unfortunately, the iPhone does not presently support the sending of SMS messages to multiple recipients. SMS messaging on the iPhone is treated as an iChat-style conversation between two parties.
There are third-party applications that can be added to a hacked iPhone, but of course these are not in any way supported by Apple, and you proceed at your own risk in terms of adding such third-party applications.
You can send feature requests to Apple in regards to the iPhone at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
Note that although this isn't supported directly in the iPhone's SMS application, there are several possible workarounds depending on your cellular provider and how they handle either web-based SMS or e-mail to SMS messages. Since the iPhone has a full browser and full e-mail capabilities, using a web-to-SMS or email-to-SMS gateway may offer a viable alternative. Often SMS messages can be sent to specific phones simply by using an e-mail address such as:
[email protected]
(for an AT&T subscriber)
Most cellular carriers have this information readily available on their websites. For example, see How do I e-mail a text message to an AT&T wireless phone? for an example of how this works on AT&T.
A list of e-mail-to-SMS domains for various providers has also been started in our Discussion Forums at How to Send MMS from the iPhone.
Finally, it may be worth checking to see if your mail hosting provider offers an SMS gateway service as well. Some providers such as Fastmail (http://www.fastmail.fm) do offer a direct e-mail-to-SMS gateway within their OWN environment for their customers. Other providers may offer similar options. These methods have the benefit of being carrier-neutral, since you submit the SMS message to your own e-mail provider's domain, and they take care of the details of delivering the message to the recipient, regardless of which carrier they're on.

Small Business
Bottom Line: HostGator is a reliable Web hosting service that's simple to use and offers an array of useful plans for consumers and small businesses. It's our top pick for novice webmasters.
Bottom Line: After several months of uptime problems, Web hosting provider Arvixe has turned things around, once again boasting rock-solid reliability and a wide range of plans for starting a website. The service has regained our endorsement.
Bottom Line: When backing up your sensitive files to the cloud, CertainSafe Digital Safety Deposit Box emphasizes security over all else, but it doesn't sacrifice ease of use.
Bottom Line: SiteGround lacks features that you'll find in top-tier rivals, but it offers excellent customer service and strong security.
Bottom Line: It's an affordable online learning platform for business that's capable of doing just enough to get your lessons delivered to learners. But if you need a solution that ties into more of your business software and offers more customization, you'll want to look at other enterprise training systems.
WizIQ 06.15.2016
Bottom Line: WizIQ is a feature-rich online learning platform for business that you'll absolutely enjoy. It has most of the bells and whistles of the best systems on the planet, but it's priced much lower than any of its competitors. It's incredibly easy to use for learners and administrators alike.
Docebo 06.15.2016
Bottom Line: Docebo is the best online learning platform for business on the market. It features intuitive navigation and content creation, the best reporting of any system we've tested, and a host of features that make learning and training fun for everyone on your team.
Bottom Line: LearnUpon is a solid and usable online learning platform for business. However, it doesn't have the accoutrements of some of the better systems available, and course and content creation requires an unnecessary number of clicks and inputs.
Bottom Line: If you need a basic online learning platform for your business or for your specific department, Firmwater is easy to use and serviceable. However, it lacks the bells and whistles of other tools, particularly at the bottom-price tiers.
Bottom Line: With Flow, Microsoft is taking on automation services IFTTT and Zapier. The tool, which is still in Preview mode, has a long way to go to catch up to its competitors.

During the great California gold rush, early prospectors sifted through rocks and streams in the hopes of finding a fortune. But bigger hauls were often claimed by going below the surface and digging deeply into mines, where a treasure trove of gold lay waiting to be unearthed.

Written on Skin at the Aix Festival
Not about tattoo art, not an evocation of the Holocast, and let us not even try to put our finger on what it is about.
In a recent article in BBC Music Magazine tenor James Gilchrist reflected on the reason why early-nineteenth-century England produced no corpus of art song to match the German lieder of Schumann, Schubert and others, despite the great flowering of English Romantic poetry during this period.
With the New York Premiere of Florencia en el Amazonas, the New York City Opera Steps Out of the Shadows of the Past
Opportunities to see Idomeneo are not so frequent as they might be, certainly not so frequent as they should be.
Not merely Don Carlo, but the five-act Don Carlo in the 1886 Modena version! The welcomed esotericism of San Francisco Opera's extraordinary spring season.
The early summer San Francisco Opera season has the feel of a classy festival. There is an introduction of Spanish director Calixto Bieito to American audiences, a five-act Don Carlo and two awaited, inevitable role debuts, Karita Mattila as Kostelnička and Malin Bystrom as Janacek's Jenůfa.
Now that the curtain has long fallen on the third and last performance of the Ring cycle at the Washington National Opera (WNO), it is safe to say that the long-anticipated production has been an unqualified success for the company, director Francesca Zambello, and conductor Philippe Auguin.
Most of the attention during this revival of Daniele Abbado's 2013 production of Nabucco has been directed at Plácido Domingo's reprise of the title role, with the critical reception somewhat mixed.
Four years ago, almost to the day (13th to 12th), I saw Melly Still's production of The Cunning Little Vixen during its first Glyndebourne run. I found myself surprised how much more warmly I responded to it this time.
This recital celebrated both the work of the Park Lane Group, which has been supporting the careers of outstanding young artists for 60 years, and the 90th birthday of Joseph Horovitz, who was born in Vienna in 1926 and emigrated to England aged 12.
Headed by General Director Luana DeVol, a world-renowned dramatic soprano, Opera Las Vegas is a relatively new company that presents opera with first-rate casts at the University of Las Vegas's Judy Bayley Theater. In 2014 they presented Rossini's The Barber of Seville and in 2015, Puccini's Madama Butterfly. This year they offered a blazing rendition of Georges Bizet's Carmen.
Ever since a friend was reported as having said he would like something in return for modern-dress Shakespeare (how quaint that term seems now, as if anyone would bat an eyelid!), namely an Elizabethan-dress staging of Look Back in Anger, I have been curious about the possibilities of 'down-dating', as I suppose we might call it. Rarely, if ever, do we see it, though.
Leading a very muscular Dutch Radio Philharmonic, Principal Conductor Markus Stenz brilliantly delivered Alban Berg's Wozzeck with a superb Florian Boesch in the lead and a mesmerising Asmik Grigorian as Marie his wife.
There can't be that many operas that start with an extended solo for double bass. At Holland Park, the eerie, angular melody for lone bass player which opens Pietro Mascagni's Iris immediately unsettled the relaxed mood of the summer evening.
George Souglides' set for Will Tuckett's new production of Rossini's L'italiana in Algeri at Garsington would surely have delighted Liberace.
Calixto Bieito is always news, Carmen with a good cast is always news. So here is the news.
Distinguished theatre director Michael Boyd's first operatic outing was his brilliant re-invention of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo for the Royal Opera at the Roundhouse in 2015, so what he did next was always going to rouse interest.
Although Bohuslav Martinů's short operas Ariane and Alexandre bis date from 1958 and 1937 respectively, there was a distinct tint of 1920s Parisian surrealism about director Rodula Gaitanou's double bill, as presented by the postgraduate students of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
The eyes of the opera world turned recently to Dresden—the city where Wagner premiered his Rienzi, Fliegende Holländer, and Tannhäuser—for an important performance of Lohengrin. For once in Germany it was not about the staging.
Having been privileged already to see in little over two months two great productions of Die Meistersinger, one in Paris (Stefan Herheim) and one in Munich (David Bösch), I was unable to resist the prospect of a third staging, at Glyndebourne.
'Mack does bad things.' The tabloid headline that convinces Rory Kinnear's surly, sharp-suited Macheath that it might be time to take a short holiday epitomizes the cold, understated menace of Rufus Norris's production of Simon Stephens' new adaptation of The Threepenny Opera at the Olivier Theatre.
Not about tattoo art, not an evocation of the Holocast, and let us not even try to put our finger on what it is about.
Because Written on Skin seems to be about every thing you can think of, let us just say it is about being alive and knowing it. The artistic trick in Written on Skin is this huge revelation, which is art itself. It is big art, hard art, tender art, brutal art. Written on Skin above all is very real art.
Written on Skin is a libretto and its music — not since Monteverdi have music and words combined with more force and clarity. Playwright Martin Crimp distills a thousand years of images and issues into a brief text that composer George Benjamin embodies in one hour and forty minutes of sounds that defy definition.
If opera is essentially sex and violence Written on Skin well qualifies, Benjamin's score magnifies the strange and delicate sexual stirrings that Benjamin Britten musically discovered and carries these urges to powerful and violent climax, rendering Britten's guilty regret into utter hopelessness. And there is the sonic scope of timeless Messiaen transferred from God's lofty nature to the creator's own, base human nature. It is the sonic gamut of human nature.
It was an exhilarating evening that owes everything to everyone who created it, an astounding portrayal of the wife Agnes by soprano Barbara Hannigan, at once the fourteen year-old girl, the bride, the subject of her husband and an animal in heat. Baritone Christopher Purves made a profoundly moving portrayal of the Protector, Agnes' husband, provider and, yes, protector and victim. The Boy, the medieval and timeless illuminator who was at once artist, innocence, lover and angel, was countertenor Bejun Mehta in beautiful voice and charismatic character.
Two additional presences complete Martin Crimp's humanity, the female, mezzo soprano Rebecca Jo Loeb, consumed by unconsecrated sexuality, her essence played out on the senses of her skin. She is a lost, unredeemed angel. Her husband, baritone Allan Clayton, like the Protector is an actor in the world, like all men unprotected, ineffectual and meaningless. He too is an unredeemed angel.
Metteur en scène Katie Mitchell and scenographer Vicki Mortimer echoed the complexities of the Crimp text within five designated spaces on the split level stage to move between dialogue and narration, from action to description, from self discovery to self-conscious notation. High above was the artist's studio where the world's happenings are recorded, and next to it a verdant space with a window looking into something, maybe fulfillment, below a sort of ante-room to heaven and hell next to the world stage that was a room in the Protector's house, both heaven and hell.
A side space in nature gave way in the last of the three part opera (marked by two brief pauses) to a coup de théâtre — the sudden apparition of a stairway ascending to undefined spaces above the stage where Agnes climbed to a sort of redemption. At last, served for dinner the heart of the boy, the artist, the lover, she knows that nothing will ever take its taste from her mouth, erase the boy's pictures from her skin.
Like Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle, Written on Skin is a horror story, a journey into the darkest abyss's to be tread by the human spirit. It brings the fascination and exhilaration of a glimpse into a psychic place one should never enter without the protection of really good art. Like Written on Skin.

Much like the rivalry between Auckland and Wellington, there has always been a hint of competition between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, two of the biggest and most important of the seven emirates making up the United Arab Emirates.
They're a bit like Serena and Venus Williams. Everyone thinks they want to knife each other in the back - especially during Wimbledon - but we'll never know for sure. Who will win the trophy in the competition between Dubai and Abu Dhabi? Time will tell.
Rather like Vegemite, Dubai is either loved or loathed but there's no denying the flashiest city in the United Arab Emirates has grabbed the world's attention. In the same way that Paris Hilton sashays past a crowd of paparazzi, Dubai knows how to work the camera.
Unless you're a hardened sceptic, it's hard not to be impressed by all the man-made grandeur, especially when you gawp at the sheer scale of any of the skyscrapers lining the city's 12-lane artery, Sheikh Zayed Road. Size limitations and subtlty simply weren't in the rule book.
In fact, the book was probably binned. You can imagine the group of dishdasha-wearing Arabs standing around a proposed design, shaking their heads and mouthing the word "bigger".
Wowing the world with structural icons is what Dubai does best. Take the Burj Al Arab, with its sky-high helipad, for example, or the Atlantis Hotel on the phantasmagorical palm-shaped island, Palm Jumeirah, which has some rooms facing an 11-million-litre aquarium packed with exotic fish.
Dubai also blitzes its competitors with the shopping. The Mall of the Emirates is the showpiece, with about 450 retailers and an indoor ski slope. Affectionately called "Moe", or "more of everything", by locals, this mall was once the biggest in the world.
But as Dubai likes to trump even itself, Dubai Mall, with its 8.3-metre-high aquarium and underwater zoo, now holds the lofty title. To boot, it's built in the shadow of the Burj Dubai Tower, the world's tallest building, and overlooks the world's biggest fountain ... you get the point.
Such scale, wealth and outrageous excessiveness can be off-putting but there's something rather intoxicating about the idea of a desert megalopolis. Especially one ruled by such a charismatic leader: Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid al Maktoum.
When it comes to the cool stakes, the Sheikh has a manicured finger firmly on the pulse. He's on Facebook. And Twitter. He mingles with the in-crowd at the Royal Ascot horse races, looking dapper in a top hat. He has even recently released a book of poetry.
Despite the infamous sex-on-the-beach scandal, in which two visiting Britons were sentenced to three months in prison, expats have found Dubai rather intoxicating, too, giving the city a global feel and no shortage of nightlife.
Foodies won't be disappointed either, with Michelin-starred chefs such as Nobu Matsuhisa, Gordon Ramsay and Pierre Gagnaire all opening restaurants.
And thanks to many generations of Indian and Pakistani expatriates, you can find some of the tastiest curries and thalis at rock-bottom prices in Karama or Satwa - both grungier, though character-filled suburban areas.
It's in these lesser-known areas where Dubai hides most of its surprises. Like parts of the beachside Umm Suqeim or Jumeirah, where there are small mosques on every corner, ramshackle fishermen's huts and a well-loved sailing club.
Or the scruffy commercial district, Al Quoz, where the number of art galleries sprouting up suggests a city ready for a cultural renaissance.
The labyrinth of souks in Deira, on the eastern side of Dubai Creek, also offers a glimpse into the city's past. The muddled rabbit warrens of stalls manned by Indian and Persian merchants sell everything from tacky magnets to fine silk, gold and spices.
Walking along the creek at night when the calls to prayer sound in unison from the surrounding mosques feels worlds away from glacially air-conditioned shopping malls. There's even a Little India of sorts, in the form of Hindi Lane - a chaotic alley behind the fabric souk, packed with stalls selling flower garlands, incense and statues of Hindu idols.
For those who fail to see beyond the fancy facade, Dubai is the epitome of gaudy. But scrape beneath the surface and that's where the similarity between Paris Hilton and Dubai begins and ends. It's not as synthetic as it looks.
Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is not a city mentioned in the same breath as Dubai, New York or Paris but that's all set to change. It might be lesser known but it's the capital of the United Arab Emirates and, since hitting the oil jackpot in 1958, is the richest city in the world, sitting on billions of dollars worth of reserves.
Abu Dhabi is smaller and far more reserved than its show-pony relative. There are far fewer skyscrapers, no glitz and, from the immediate look of it, no glam.
Connected to the mainland by two bridges, it's spread out in a T-shape that leads to The Corniche - the main drag lined with tailors, cheap Lebanese restaurants and beauty salons.
The Corniche curving around the aquamarine-coloured shoreline has few cars and even fewer people. In the height of summer, it can feel more like a sleepy coastal town than a bustling capital city.
What Abu Dhabi doesn't have, however, it is building. From its rather humble Bedouin beginnings as a peaceful, pearl-diving island, it is rising like a sandy phoenix, quietly evolving into a capital of culture.
Today, one of Abu Dhabi's islands, 27-square-kilometre Sadiyaat, is shrouded in a cloud of dust kicked up by cranes and construction workers. But by 2013, Sadiyaat - or the "island of happiness" - will host an eye-popping collection of museums, galleries and universities, including the Louvre and the Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim, five-star hotels, championship golf course and a luxury marina designed for super-yachts.
Then, of course, there's a concert hall by architect Zaha Hadid and the Sheikh Zayed National Museum, with the British Museum on side to consult on the project. It's all going to cost squillions but when you're sitting on coffers lined with oil, that's pocket change.
On nearby Yas Island, another mega project is under way. The formula one racing circuit (with an accompanying Ferrari theme park) will be finished in months, ready to host the first race of the season in November.
Meanwhile, I ask a friend who knows the city intimately: what else is there to see in Abu Dhabi? He hesitates before responding. "Well," he begins, "this is a question put to me often and, alas, people tend to go away disappointed. There isn't a huge amount for tourists to do."
He isn't all that wrong. Stopping off at the tourist information centre, two Emirati men leap to their feet, seeming genuinely surprised to see us. They pour cups of fragrant Arabic coffee and hand over free maps with all the points of interest circled in blue ink. And you could feasibly see them all in a day.
The biggest circle of ink points to the Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Grand Mosque. Despite its feigned nonchalance for competition, Abu Dhabi didn't cut corners when it came to this towering shrine to Islam, maybe even catching a little bit of the biggest-and-best bug from Dubai.
Driving towards the city, it's unmissable, with 80 dazzlingly white marble domes and minarets looming majestically, much like the Ivory Tower in the film The Neverending Story.
The whole thing has cost more than $500 million, a good portion of that going towards the Persian carpet covering the interior, classed as the biggest in the world. With mosaic-tiled fountains, even the ablution sections look more like a five-star hotel bathroom than an area where Muslims wash before praying.
Then there are the nine Swarovski crystal chandeliers, one of which weighs 9.5 tonnes and is said to be the biggest in the world.
Next stop is the Emirates Palace, billed as one of the most lavish hotels in the world. Some might even say this $3 billion showpiece was built as a not-so-subtle reaction to Dubai's seven-star Burj Al Arab hotel. With almost ridiculously resplendent interiors rightfully earning it the "palace" tag, it's frequented by slack-jawed tourists and has some of the city's best restaurants.
Abu Dhabi's serene island existence and pearl-fishing roots are still tangible when walking around the Dhow Wharf, where an army of old wooden Arab fishing vessels bakes in the sun. They're used to haul in fish such as hammour, native to the Gulf waters, with a host of Arabic restaurants nearby to try it. One of the most famous, Al Arish, was opened by the much-loved late ruler of the UAE, Sheikh Zayed.
Aside from the endless desert, the eastern mangroves fringing the city offer ripe kayaking and camping opportunities on tiny, uninhabited islands. Socially, Abu Dhabi doesn't have as much to offer as Dubai but it was a coup when the world music festival WOMAD rolled in to town this year and the spectacular Red Bull Air Race is always a draw.
It might be a while before it's anywhere near Dubai's league but give it time. Abu Dhabi is aiming high - even for the stars, perhaps.
Especially if the rumours about it buying into Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic are true. Abu Dhabi: the first emirate on the moon. Leaving Dubai, quite literally, in the dust.

About فيلم الراقصة دينا وحسام ابو الفتوح
فيلم الراقصة دينا وحسام ابو الفتوح Mr. فيلم ألَّبت مع ابوها Two of the most familiar are a fluttery, white Southern matron, Amanda {Mary Steenburgen}, who unwittingly condescends to her black maid, and an overweight black mama, Nadine {Davenia McFadden}, with a dirty mind. فيلم عمارة يعقوبيان بدون حذف While operating on a mythic level �Honeydripper� also wants to create the same kind of top-to-bottom social microcosm found in many of Mr. فيلم هيفاء وهبي The former Fillmore East in Manhattan`s East Village was a rock-music venue that was open from 1968 to 1971.only saw playing time during the later portion of the season after the Bears had been eliminated from playoff contention. فيلم ألَّبت مع ابوها Prior to the start of the 2004 NFL season, the Bears fired Jauron and hired Lovie Smith, who declared Grossman the team`s starting quarterback. فيلم ألَّبت مع ابوها When she was not born, Choppy accidentally gave Sapphire the blue heart of a rambunctious boy as well as the pink heart of a prim and proper girl, and so God sent him down to Earth to sort out the mess and retrieve Sapphire`s extra heart.
فيلم هيفاء وهبي This is a continuation of the original Shojo Club storyline. Lil Wayne is not set to marry Nivea in the next few months, Blogger FreddyO claims.Desperately in debt to his landlord, the Honeydripper�s owner, Tyrone Purvis {Danny Glover}, a former boogie-woogie pianist, steals the liquor destined for a rival club whose jukebox is driving him out of business.But this time his attempt to have his characters be simultaneously symbolic and real works at cross purposes. Sapphire and Choppy experience a variety of fairy tale and political adventures, including encounters with ice witches and anti-Royal revolutionaries.
