So we are on our way to Kyoto and I'm realizing now that it's pretty big.
We have our JR passes but I don't think this will get us around in kyoto.
Is there a subway pass to buy? Like in Tokyo?
I used SPG points and booked the Westin which I've read isn't in a prime location, but it was in my budget ( free!)

Getting around in Kyoto
So we are on our way to Kyoto and I'm realizing now that it's pretty big.
Report Abuse
Did you get a Suica card in Tokyo? If so you can use that in Kyoto for trains and buses....
Report Abuse
No...we didn't buy anything in Tokyo...we managed with jr and paid for some subway rides....
Report Abuse
We stayed at the Westin as well. I recall the subway station being very near the hotel, and we used it frequently. We didn't buy a pass, and I don't remember even considering it.
There are restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, and we walked to some of the temples from there. Don't worry--you'll be fine.
BTW, we visited Kyoto in the summer as well, and it was hot and steamy. Drink lots of water, and wear a hat or use an umbrella. The indoor pool at the Westin is great for cooling off in the evening.

Thanks for the info!! I just bought a wide brimmed hat yesterday in Takayama!!

MBM - you are going to be nasty to kja after all the great info she has given you?
It is reasonable to think that posters here will endeavor to do some of their own research.
Report Abuse
OK, ladies, enough. I personally am enjoying readying MBM's live posts from Japan. Sometimes other posters can add valuable gems that are not apparent on websites.
However, good manners dictate that the OP thank all posters graciously, no matter what the tone. The OP should work on the assumption that all posters have good intentions in wanting to help
Time to hug and make up, ladies.

Westin has shuttle between the hotel and Kyoto station. The resort shuttle can be found at the Hachijo Exit and the shuttle runs every thirty minutes.
IIRC, the shuttle stops at a subway station on the way to Kyoto station.
Ta-ku-shi is a good way to get around Kyoto.
Report Abuse
Oh that's right, mr wunfrl, I forgot about the free shuttle. We took it from the train state to the Westin. Good get.

lol agree taxi is a great way to get around Kyoto

Please continue asking any question you desire. No poster should feel it is their right to tell you how to research your trip. Like you, I would think it is a better idea to just pass on answering.
I have always enjoyed reading the numerous, numerous questions that you pose on Fodors as you plan your trips. In fact, the thread with your questions are almost as long as most people's TR's. I also enjoy reading your amazing trip reports. The last one was epic and a sheer delight! That is why I am at a loss as to why you would respond in such a short and somewhat rude way to the OP. As it stands, she received some truly rich and good information from mrwunrfl and CaliforniaLady specific to her hotel, which is probably not on Japan Guide. Yes, it is a great resource, but so are your fellow fodor posters. And like CaliforniaLady, I am really enjoying the OP's posts from the road, which are full of insightful comments that can be used by others.
Kathie, you really thought the OP was rude? I thought she handled it pretty well considering the response she received.
This whole thread just feels petty and entitled. The very thing that always ruins a good Fodors thread. We are all travelers just trying to see the world.
In fact, the OP is an avid and longtime fodorite. I have read her numerous fantastic TR's and am glad that she is a contributor -- questions and all.
I hope we can all continue to enjoy her rich commentary and benefit from her insights and the answers to her inquiries as she continues her amazing trip with her family.
I hope no one feels I am being disrespectful, as it is not my intention.
Report Abuse
And MBM,
Taxis are everywhere, fantastically priced, and the cleanest and nicest taxis you will ever see! All of the drivers are helpful, kind and professional with the smartest attire. I enjoyed zipping around Kyoto. Like Tokyo, when we did take the subway, it was easy and efficient.
Enjoy. Looking forward to hearing what you think.
Report Abuse
I suspect that many of us realize that tone can be easily misread in online messages, so let me say that when I read the OP, I heard urgency. And I suspect that many of us have had the experience of losing sight of our readily available resources when feeling stressed. So I heard a message from a person who was stressed out and appeared to have forgotten then she has ready access to immediate information, such as the information available on japan-guide or through her hotel. Sometimes, IME, a reminder that one has options is what is needed.
With the benefit of the perspectives that several of you have shared, I can appreciate that my initial response could have seemed rude. I sincerely apologize to anyone who took offense at my effort to provide the reminder that I thought might be in order.
My thanks to those of you who have taken the time to help put this interaction in perspective.
Report Abuse
OMG, I just realized that the smiley face I entered into my initial response with the specific intention of softening my message somehow turned into a frownie instead! I honestly did not see that until now, and can better understand the misinterpretations of my message now that I see this error.
Report Abuse
No problem, kja. We all remain fans of yours. You are one of the most resourceful travelers here.
I think that most of us who plan our own trips tend to be forthright people--perhaps leaders instead of followers, so there are sometimes when we conflict here. I myself tend to be a bit bossy, but I sure am pretty good at planning trips, lol.
Report Abuse
@ CaliforniaLady: Thank you for your kind responses and gentle guidance!
My inclination is to assume the best of others, and I am sincere in expressing my gratitude to every Fodorite who has ever posted on one of my planning threads, whether helpful or irrelevant or even (rarely) completely unhelpful – gosh, someone took the time and energy to respond, and even gave my thread a bounce to the top in the process! How can I complain??? JMO.
I also believe that I can always learn to be more sensitive and thoughtful in my replies, so again, thanks!
Report Abuse
Lolazahra, I did read MBM's response to kja as being nasty. That may not have been her intent, as I am reminded by the responses here. kja is someone who answers Japan questions (and others) endlessly and I felt she didn't deserve the nastiness.
MBM, we opted to use taxis in Kyoto, as our time there was limited (five full days) and we had so much we wanted to see. It worked well, though it is more expensive than public transport.
Report Abuse
You can buy an all day bus pass to ride the busses all day in Kyoto. That's what I did on my last visit November 2014. You buy the pass from the bus driver or at Kyoto station. Kyoto's busses are great and go everywhere. Best 500 yen you will spend.
Report Abuse
Just as with email tone can be misinterpreted in the digital world. You are a wealth of information and a great writer, so your contributions are appreciated.
In the end, I think this is a good thread to remind us all that most people have the best intentions.
MBM, totally off subject -- take the family to Fire Ramen. It's a blast.
Report Abuse
@ Kathie: Thank you. I do try to be helpful.
@ Lolazahra: Thank you for your kind words.
Report Abuse
I agree with Kathie. MBM's reply was a wee bit sarcastic, which is against the posting rules. And it was double uncool to do that to someone who gives lots of help to everyone.
I also wanted to second susiesan's suggestion about taking buses in Kyoto. I forgot that we took a few. But I have since taken many city buses in other cities in Japan, and have purchased an all day pass. The buses are always clean and pleasant. Good idea.

Hi Guys -
I'm a California mom in Kyoto too with husband and teens! We have been getting great tips on my post "totally unprepared". Thank you!
Kyoto is our last leg and I spent the least amount of time preparing for this. I sent an inquiry to MK taxi company but did not get a reply yet.
Any suggestions for a private taxi? The heat has taken its toll after a day at Universal Studios yesterday. With everything spread out, we want to conserve energy.
I relied heavily on Japan guide for the overall itinerary but I found the "getting there" sections not specific enough.
Seems like this is the same question as the OP ...
We have JR passes but they don't work on the local trains. For a family of five, the 3 stops on the train from Kyoto station to our ryokan last night cost $11 one way. The fares add up quickly. I'd rather pay a cab ...
PS I panicked about the location of the Westin and split our stay 3 nights guesthouse in central downtown ($900) then last 2 nights Westin (free). Based on the cost of this trip, I'm thinking the free Westin all 5 nights would have been better.
Report Abuse
No need to pre-arrange a taxi for anything in Kyoto. There will be taxis either at your ryokan or the ryokan can call one for you. There will be taxis at all of the temples you visit, so you don't have to hire one taxi for the whole day. But if you want to hire a taxi for a whole day or several days, you can certainly do that.
We had 6 free nights at the Hyatt in Kyoto. I always encourage people to use hotel points when they can in Kyoto as it is the most expensive location for hotels in Japan.
Yoou will find all of the taxis very clean. Many have white seat covers, and many taxi drivers wear white gloves. No tipping!
Report Abuse
Thank you Kathie -
Will these readily available taxis seat 5?
Yes - Should have stuck with points. But, we are in a charming prime location. Kids are asleep and my husband is on his way back from a quaint bakery with coffee and pastries in hand. Probably not worth $900 to avoid the dreaded chain hotel buffet but we will recoup the $ next year when we use the points in Spain.
Report Abuse
Typical taxis in Japan are the same sedans you see in the US, but with different names. For example, a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry are the same, but are marketed under different names, so only five people maximum will fit, including the driver. I would make arrangements through the hotel for a mini-van and driver, something like a Honda Odyssey.
So, the hotel will be better at phoning your taxi company for you. I have found that hotels, and taxi companies often don't respond to emails. It may be the language barrier, or they prefer faxes (that's what the ladies at the JNTO in Los Angeles told me). The taxi driver will not come cheap, but if the alternative is becoming wilted from the infamous Kyoto humidity, and everyone getting cranky, why not?
Don't worry about the hotel points. As long as you keep them active, they'll last forever. There are cities that are alot more expensive than Kyoto where their usage may pay off.
Report Abuse
MBM - Would love to hear how it's going. Favorites? Tips?
We beat the heat tonight with a very enjoyable evening stroll through Nishiki to Ponchoko alley. Amazing dinner and a great walk home.
Report Abuse
Fire ramen brings back good memories
Have your taxi or hotel concierge tell you how to get to Menbakaichidai ramen.
Kathie is right using points on hotels in Kyoto and most of Japan will be getting the max value of your points.
Report Abuse
Hi Jill!
We r back in Tokyo now, but here are my Kyoto tips....
Yes, the Westin was kind of out of the way from dining options. But, for breakfast you can not beat the little coffee shop just a few hundred feet from the taxi ramp to the hotel. (Off premises)
For 500 yen you get coffee, eggs, salad, and toast made by a lovely gentlemen who has been at it for 25 years! The coffee brewing is something to watch! Siphon coffee is delish!!
There is also a Japanese place called asuka, I think. Just 10 minute walk from hotel. Crowded and we had to wait for a table, but pretty good and inexpensive.
We also found that 20 minutes walk from the hotel towards the river took us to many dining options. We cabbed it there and walked back....
More later!!!! Have to run to dress for dinner res.
Report Abuse
In the area just over the river was Musashi, conveyor belt sushi. Most plates were 145 yen for 2 pieces. My kids went crazy and the plates stacked pretty high, but we were still under $100 USD!! This is a popular spot one of our guides told us about. Expect a line, but it moves quickly.
We also enjoyed Istanbul Saray down the street and in an alley. When need you need a break from Japanese food this was amazing!! Kabobs and middle eastern salads were a treat!
Near the silver temple we ate at Omen for lunch. We loved it!! This place gets packed and we were lucky to beat the rush! Wonderful Udon noodles!
We also rented bikes for 1000 yen an adult and 800 yen a kid the JR station in saga-arashimya. We ride to the Golden Temple, which was a tough uphill ride, but we also rode to the monkey park, which everyone loved! 150 yen to get apples and peanuts to feed the monkeys!!!
Will continue more later!!
Report Abuse
Oh yeah....they gave us coupons at the Westin for 10 percent off the in house restaurants as part of the check in (maybe because we are Starwood gold) we tried the Chinese and it was very good!
Report Abuse
MBM, sounds like Kyoto was a hit. Fantastic! Jill02 -- enjoy! We sure did!

Looks like Ilathalapathy Vijay is all set to make waves on TV for a reality show — not just any reality show but one on the lines of Kaun Banega Crorepati for a leading TV channel. According to reliable sources, the channel is planning for a reality show similar to the successful show Kaun Banega Crorepati. Though many leading actors names were under consideration, the channel has zeroed down on Vijay, as they believe, a mass hero like Vijay would bring a whiff of fresh air to the channel.
Reportedly the channel had given the actor a 'blank cheque' to get the consent of him to hosting the new show and Vijay was reluctant to accept the offer. However, the channel was insistent that the show to be hosted by Vijay. Known for being choosy about what commercials he wants to feature in, Vijay seems to have given it a go ahead because of the immense popularity it had brought to Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan who had hosted similar shows in Hindi. It may be mentioning that a similar show – branded 'Kodeeswaran'('millionaire' in Tamil) aired on SUN TV, hosted by actor Sarath Kumar turned out to be a flop.
The title and format of the show has been kept under wraps and the official announcement is expected to be made soon.
Looks like our Ilayathalapathy is trying to pinch in some class with his mass image. Whatcha think people?

I have mixed feelings on this. My older daughter has nut allergies. Not life-threatening, however, every exposure to the allergen makes the next attack worse. The public areas, yes, I completely agree with Kristen. Just don't go there if you're allergic to nuts. We have to avoid Chick-fi-la b/c they fry with peanut oil.
School, to me is a different thing. I know several times my daughter has been moved to a separate table while they ate pb&j sandwiches. She is very tender hearted & it hurt her feelings. Trust me, I do know how limiting it can be. Most candy/cookies are out of the question. The thing about telling your kids not to offer is all well and good, but little kids don't understand the ramifications. Can you imagine how scarred they would all be if one of their friends went into anaphylactic shock and died in front of them? I guess what I'm saying is I appreciate the schools that go nut free, my daughter's is not, because then I can send her to school with peace of mind that she's coming home safely.
Kristen, have you tried Sunbutter? It's made from sunflower seeds and my dh & dd love it!

For once, there are no spoilers — literally, none. We couldn't ruin the ending of The Walking Dead for you even if we wanted to!
To the relief of fans everywhere, #TheWalkingDead creator Robert Kirkman is apparently remaining tight-lipped on how/if the zombie reign will end, and refuses to tell his #AMC counterparts which way the apocalypse should be heading:
"I know what the end point is, and at the end of the day, I want this entire long narrative to be a complete story with a beginning, middle, and end ... We're just spending a lot of time in the middle, so, I kind of have to know what that direction is, and I have to know what that end point is to be able to keep building towards it."
The show has a notoriously checkered past with spoilers, and the network even threatened to sue Facebook group "The Spoiling Dead" for even speculating on who Negan's victim was. However, Kirkman's stance is the opposite of #GameofThrones creator George R.R. Martin, who has been more than mouth-happy in revealing the end of his saga to showrunners Benioff and Weiss. Earlier this year Kirkman fired shots at Martin for this exact reason, saying that such a move lacked author integrity:
"I would never do that. That's the one thing I'm disappointed in George R.R. Martin for doing. He should have just been like, F**k you. You make it up now, I'll get to mine when I'm ready."

There is no mollycoddling the series: Kirman has always said he knows exactly how the #comics will end — *spoiler* Rick Grimes won't be there for the fanfare. With the comics currently on Issue #160, and the seventh season of the show around issue #104, AMC's series will inevitably do a Thrones and overtake its source at some point. Take this as good or bad, but chances are that The Walking Dead TV series will mirror #HBO's song of ice and fire, veering off in a different direction to become its own Kirkman-less entity.
Showrunner Scott Gimple is reportedly a huge fan of the comics, and keeps them on hand so he can plot the next season of the show. However, despite the constant pestering, Kirkman refuses to divulge the future of the story to Gimple and co.:
"They're kind of 100% in the dark, which I guess is pretty remarkable, and I would probably say it's a testament to the trust that AMC has in me...I mean, I guess to a certain extent, at this point, the comic book is kind of a workshop of future seasons of the show, and it's fun to think that I can just completely torpedo the story if I wanted to."
The news comes just days after Kirkman revealed that the ending for latest villain Negan will be coming some time sooner rather than later as he is already past his sell-by-date in the comics.
The Beginning Of The End
The comics began publications monthly since 2003, and despite being AMC's most-viewed show, both incarnations of The Walking Dead have been accused of running out of steam. This far into both stories and you have to ask yourself, "After tigers and people wearing the flesh of the undead, what is next?" We at least know the TWD has been commissioned for an eighth season for the channel — in the meantime, we are happy to ride on the tidal wave of blood and brains from Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan and his "vampire bat" Lucille. Just like winter, the end is coming!
Let's put something a little more cheery on and listen to Daryl Dixon get tortured. Also, don't forget our poll below!
Do you think Robert Kirkman is right in not revealing his ending

How can I search for long filenames?
I was copying 200 GB of data (I am writing the amount of data because I want to emphasize that I don't want to go through copying them again. And most of these files are so much less than 1 MB which makes copying process much more slower).
27 files (1 gave warning and at the bottom it said "do this for all conflicts - 26 found) gave a warning of "file name is too long".
I chose skip.
Now, how can I find these 27 files?

I'm afraid some of you files will have to be renamed.
PRB: Path Limit Is 260 Bytes, Not Characters
In Windows 7 SP1 some of those issues had been fixed normally but i do not know exactly if the numbers of bytes have really increase.
If you decided to "skip" then you'll find your files again in the drive, which where your data are.

Found this online. I can't vouch for it as I haven't tried it but it looks like it would work.
Make a new text file somewhere and put the code below into it. Make changes to the bold text accordingly, save and close it, then rename it to something ending in ".bat". Then, right click, run as admin, and see if it works.
@echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion REM loop over all files in the cwd for /f %%a in ('dir C:\Users\You\Folder\ /B') do ( REM store this filename in a variable so we can do substringing set ThisFileName=%%a REM now take a substring set ThisShortFileName=!ThisFileName:~0,255! REM finally, the rename: echo ren %%a !ThisShortFileName! ) :EOF endlocal

One of its functions is "folder compare", presented visually in two panes, left side and right side. By specifying the high-level folder (or drive?) for your source and destinations from your copy process, it will compare all of the folders and files under that high-level designation. All differences will be identified... although you'll have to "expand" the highlighted folders to keep seeing the lower-level differences, until you can actually see the file mismatches once you get down to the true low-level folder that had the difference on left and right side.
You can present things either in (a) show me everything, including highlighting the differences) mode, or (b) show me only those folders which have differences.
In your case, your 27 files that did not get copied from source to destination will eventually be shown (once you expand all of the enclosing higher-level parent folders involved). You can then choose to do whatever you want... e.g. right click and choose "copy from left to right" if your source pane is on the left and target pane is on the right". I suspect the too-long file name issue will produce a popup here as well, and you will be offered an opportunity to rename it before copying so as to be acceptable.
This "folder compare" function is just one of MANY things you can do with Beyond Compare.

Teens sue Detroit police after being arrested for 'interfering with prostitution sting'
DETROIT (WJBK) - Three local teens are suing the Detroit police claiming they were mistreated during an undercover prostitution sting, but the officers say the teens were interfering with the investigation.
One August night in Detroit, two 17 year olds from Dearborn are waiting for their 18-year-old friend to get off his shift at the Caesar's Coney Island on Warren Avenue. At the same time, Detroit police are conducting a prostitution sting operation across the street at the CVS.
Somehow the teens find themselves in the middle.
"Before you knew it. you had a bunch of police officers pulling into a parking lot. ordering them out of a car handcuffing them," said attorney Nick Hadous.
According to a Detroit police report. the teens were interfering with the operation by attempting to warn a relative not to engage with an undercover prostitute. Their attorneys say that's not a crime.
"Our clients said 'Don't do it, don't do it' so what," said attorney Amir Makled. "The objective of any good law enforcement official is to deter crime. If these guys were helping to deter crime, what's going on, what's the problem."
Either way they were cuffed and the attorneys say they were humiliated,
"There was a Snap Chat taken and posted on one of the kids under arrest, in handcuffs," said Hadous.
But as far as evidence to back this up - "They all told me the identical facts they were ambushed by these rogue officers," Makled said. "They pulled them out of their vehicle, handcuffed them and searched their car."
Right now they just have the teens story.
"We're going to be looking into getting the records if we can," Makled said.
The night didn't end there. According to the lawsuit the three teens were driven around by police and dropped off at the corner of Tireman and Abington in the city of Detroit. They were then told to get out and walk home - all the way to Dearborn.
"We're talking about two minors here," said Hadous. "I'm offended as much as I am shocked."
But why would police go to these lengths? That's what this lawsuit is hoping to uncover.
"Are they mad they didn't catch another guy to get their numbers up," Makled said. "What's their motive, we are determined to find out."
The teens hired the lawyers back in August and got the criminal charges dropped, but the attorneys say that doesn't go far enough.
"They may have had criminal records as a result of nothing - an imaginary crime or officers that were offended," said Hamoud. "It's important to hold them accountable."
They are hoping a jury will determine how much money they deserve for that August night. Detroit police say they don't comment on pending litigation.

The selectmen have elected a more cost effective way to keep assessments current without the need for a complete State of New Hampshire mandated revaluation every five years. The board has contracted with Corcoran Consulting, our current assessing agents, to begin this process this year. The selectmen have opted for a less costly and more efficient process. Instead of the typical full revaluation process, the selectmen have instructed the assessing agents to make changes to assessments every year, or every other year, according to the emerging market.
Accordingly, the taxpayers will not have to wait until five years have passed before the town responds to emerging market conditions.
Taxpayers will be informed of any pending changes in their assessments in August. Each property owner will be allowed an opportunity to discuss any changes with a staff appraiser.
Property inspections are a required part of any revaluation process. Whether a property inspection occurs or not, every property will be subject to a changed assessment if the market indicates that assessments are out of line with the current real estate market.
Data collectors have commenced with the fieldwork for the 2014 revaluation. Data collectors will be working in the area of Ashwood Road, Briar Ridge Road, Campbell, Dames Brook Drive, Ernst Road, Farmington Road, Gold Street, Governors Road, Hare Road, Jennifer Lane, Lord Lane, Mason Road, Middleton Road, Park Place, Route 153, Sleeping Bear Drive, Stewart Lane, Thurston Road and Varney Road. If you have any questions contact the town office at 652-4501.
At the recent selectmen's meeting, Tom Gray, Bob Bridges and Mike Beaulieu were in attendance as was TA Elizabeth Dionne, Kimberly Ladisheff, Stan Nadeau, Laurie Palmeira, Les Elder, Pat Smith, Dale Sprague, Charles Tiffany, Joel Kost, Barbara Hughes, Betsy Baker, Lisa Paone, Bob Carrier, John Katwick, Andrew Keller and Larry Brown.
Town employees Jon Dow, Joe Burba, Dustin Nason, Pamela Merrill and Tiffany Pierce were acknowledged as having birthdays in the month of June.
Lisa Paone met with the board regarding a placement of a bench at the town's beach. She noted that her friend, Diane Carpenter, passed away in January and one of her last wishes was to have a bench donated because she loved the town's beach. Family and friends want to donate a bench with a saying and Diane's name on it. The board accepted the donation.
With regard to the work at the Milton Mills Library, it was noted that two highway employees were skilled laborers and Dustin Nason and Tayor Smith are willing to work on the project. They will stay on the payroll for this and it would be on overtime. Beaulieu will put a package together for the board.
The board approved a discretionary preservation easement at 259 Hare Road.
Roger Libby's junk yard license renewal was approved for property at 424 Applebee Road.
There was some discussion regarding a woman that came into the tax collector's office with her dog. There is an ordinance in place at town hall, "no dogs allow unless a service dog." The woman refused to leave. It was agreed if that happens again the police will be called.
The monthly meeting of the Post will be held on Monday, June 23, at the Emma Ramsey Center beginning at 7 p.m. Snacks and socializing at 6:30 p.m.
The Milton Assembly of God Church will hold a vacation bible adventure the week of July 7-11 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. for all kids 4-12 years old. The theme is "weird animals." Parents, please pre-register your children online or pick up a form at the church. Feel free to call 652-7385, Monday-Wednesday 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Dell creates 300 jobs with new banking venture
COMPUTER giant Dell has secured the first banking licence awarded here in four years as part of a plan to create 300 new jobs.
The jobs will come from the creation of Dell Bank in Dublin, announced yesterday.
The new bank will provide finance to business customers to allow them to buy Dell products.
Dell is hiring 200 new employees immediately and plans to hire another 100 over the next three years for the new finance unit.
The new venture represents a turnaround from the events of four years ago, when the company shed 1,900 jobs with the transfer of its manufacturing from Limerick to Poland. The company has said that many of the people leaving Irish banks would be suitable candidates due to their experience.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny said it was a sign of the importance of Dell that one-third of the Cabinet had turned up for the announcement in its Cherrywood office in Dublin.
He was attending the announcement along with Dell's president of Europe, Middle East and Africa, Aongus Hegarty, and Cormac Costelloe, general manager, Dell Financial Services.
"We're now in the happier region of being able to create 3,000 jobs per month in the private sector," he said.
The Dell announcement brought the number of new jobs this week to 800 – with a further announcement expected today.
Jobs Minister Richard Bruton had discussed the new jobs with senior Dell executives during a business trip to the company's headquarters in Austin, Texas, last March.
Finance Minister Michael Noonan said that it was crucial for businesses to get access to credit – and that there was need for new initiatives such as Dell Financial Services to reduce their dependence on the traditional banks.
Dell employs 1,200 people in Dublin, 1,100 in Limerick and 200 in Cork.
The new jobs will bring its total workforce here to 2,800.
Dell was once known for building computers rapidly for customers but it has changed its business model in the face of stiff competition from companies like Apple.
It is now providing computer hardware, software and IT services to businesses as part of an "end-to-end solution" concept, as well as still manufacturing tablet and desktop computers.

After a long couple of months' worth of freedom fries, freedom toast and supremely disappointing freedom kissing, we quarrelsome Americans finally get an overdue helping of genuine, uncut Frenchitude, in the form of a visit by Paris-based sisters Hélène and Célia Faussart, the presumably peace-loving ladies of Les Nubians and worldbeat's most photogenic purveyors of the open-eared R&B slow-burn. One Step Forward, the Nubians' follow-up to 1998's celebrated Princesses Nubiennes, isn't quite. It's mostly composed of the same under-covers tempos, tasteful fusion playing, pretty harmony singing and deep-pile production that first brought the Faussarts to worldwide attention, though there's evidence of the sisters' intermediate intergeneric dabbling if you care to listen for it: the juicy reggae throb of the Morgan Heritage-featuring "Brothers & Sisters," the title track's sly broken-beat contours, Talib Kweli's cameo in the bouncy "Temperature Rising." Sadly, there's none of the raw emotional sting that makes sonic peer Sade's best work, like the devastating "By Your Side," resonate beyond dinner-party ambiance or feel-good NPR fare. (Or maybe that's just my Bushwhacked ass denigrating the French language again.) But you probably won't find a more efficient way to right international relations Tuesday than with these well-meaning women.

Scotland, the 12th-ranked side, are hardly seen as international rivals by England women, but the pair will square up in an early morning tussle at Glasgow Green on Wednesday morning to decide the final Commonwealth Games Pool B semi-final berth.
The organisers may have been wise to look at the scheduling a touch closer. Australia always looked odds-on to qualify top of Pool B and following their 3-0 win over a determined England side, it means a bizarre 9am start for the Auld Enemy clash of sticks.
Kate Richardson-Walsh, the England captain, had said before this defeat that Australia were "the Hockeyroos of old", referring to the period in the late Nineties when "they were on top of the world".
Despite Australia's dominance - they were beaten by the peerless Dutch in last month's World Cup final – matches against England have been tight in recent years.
England may not have beaten their old rivals since 2011, when coach Adam Commens' joined the set-up, but the last seven matches have rarely been one-sided.
That changed on Monday afternoon, though England had belief early on and looked far more threatening going forward.
Danny Kerry's side twice had chances in the opening 10 minutes as they exploited the left flank. Ellie Watton had the best opening, but was thwarted by Rachael Lynch's outstretched leg.
Australia settled and were rewarded with a first penalty corner of the game. It was struck incisively by Jodie Kenny, her upward drag flick evading Maddie Hinch's outstretched left arm.
Australia then doubled the lead inside 15 minutes when Emily Smith's reverse stick hit thudded low into the corner.
Still, England pressed and Australia were certainly fallible at the back. There were intelligent runs down both lines, but the final, killer touch eluded England.
A third looked likely for Australia before the break from another penalty corner, but Hinch pulled off a leaping dive and deflected wide.
With 20 minutes left, Australia were awarded a corner, before Kenny notched her ninth goal of the tournament with a sweetly-timed flick through Hinch's legs.
Georgie Twigg, the England midfielder, said: "If we can go in against Scotland and produce a performance like that then that would just be brilliant. We could have done with getting a few more corners, against Malaysia they were working really well, and Australia were defending well with numbers so we need to open that up and get off some more shots against Scotland."
Scotland have been training full-time since April at the National Hockey Centre. Moreover, an upset is not out of the realms of possibility and, like the men's side, they believe that they can finish inside the top four.
The ante was upped when Gordon Shepherd, the Scotland coach, predicted that his side would indeed follow Australia into the semi-finals. "It's 100 per cent Scotland all the way," he said after Scotland's 2-0 win against Wales. "The last game is very important for us but we will make it."
England men play New Zealand on Tuesday morning in another key clash. A win for Bobby Crutchley's side will almost certainly mean that England would avoid playing world champions Australia in the semi-finals.

HDD or Raid Problem after fresh install on HP envy 6-1012tx
I bought an hp envy 6-1012tx ultrabook two months before and after 45 days it's hard drive crashed. As it was in warranty I took it to the nearby HP sales and services centre for repairing. They repaired it saying that the hard drive has been changed. Since I haven't made recovery discs, everything was gone. I brought it back home after repairing and installed a fresh win 7 home premium 64 bit on it but I was surprised when It show me only 59.5 gb hard drive out of its 500 GB hdd and 32 Gb ssd. At first I thought it would be ok after installation and installing drivers, But, All invain. Now it still shows only 59.5 gb space both in my computer and disc management tools. But shows it correctly in Intel Rapid Storage Technology. I don't know what to do I did a lot of research online but don't know anything. I'm completely confused. I'm new to raids and don't even know whether my machine is raid ready or not? Please help.
Here is a pic how it display my hdd in intel rapid storage technology

Please post back a screenshot of your maximized Disk Management drive map and listings:
1. Type Disk Management in Start Search box.
2. Open Disk Mgmt. window and maximize it.
3. Type Snipping Tool in Start Search box.
4. Open Snipping Tool, choose Rectangular Snip, draw a box around full map and all listings.
5, Save Snip, attach using paper clip in Reply Box.
Tell us what is on each partition.
Since it's unlikely RAID is needed for your configuration, look over these steps for Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 .

Thanks gregrocker I have only installed an operating system and drivers listed on official hp website for my ultrabook. Plus I don't know anymore but it also shows only 59.5 gb space out of 500 gb hitachi hdd and 32 gb samsung ssd during win 7 64 bit home premium sp1 installation. Tell me how can I get full space during installation. And I have attached all the required snaps in attachment.

I do not know how it would span or mirror a small SSD with a large HD into RAID. I've not seen this before.
Until someone who knows comes by I would contact HP tech support and ask them. Please let us know what you find out.
I do know that in countless thousands of installs we've helped with here, RAID rarely works well with Win7 until it is unRAIDED with Win7 installed to one HD.
In your case you could install OS and Programs to the SSD to get maximum speed benefits, then link your User folders from HD to the related Library - Include a Folder - Windows 7 Forums.
So if HP doesn't convince you of some fantastic benefit for this strange hybrid RAID, I'd ask them to walk you through unRAIDing it. But don't be surprised if they're not prepared for it. That's what we're for.
There should also be a Manual to read over on the HP Support Downloads webpage for your model.

Thanks I'll be waiting curiously but I don't know how to get rid of the raid?

Yes I tried for a clean re install but it also shows 59.5 gb during installation. I tried to install ubuntu too but that also didn't solve my problem. And in my opinion contacting hp is useless I talked to them several times but useless. I don't know about the quality of service in US but here they assigned us some dumb ass indians who don't even know my model support raid or not? If it isn't then why it came preinstalled with Intel Rapid strorage technology. And why they have softwares like Intel RST for install on the official page for my model. And if you know that It don't support it them please tell me how to improve space during installation?
|My System Specs
|23 Sep 2012
Go the the Support Downloads webpage for your model, download or read the Manual there to find out exactly how to unRAID the two HD"s.
It should be done on the page you posted, perhaps on the Advanced tab. Can you post another screenshot of it? But the Manual will tell you for sure.
Then back up your files, unplug the HD to Clean Install Windows 7 to the SSD.
After install, plug back in the HD and wipe it of all code with Diskpart Clean Command,
then in Disk Mgmt partition it for data storage as you please, copy back in the User folders, rightclick each to link to related Library - Include a Folder - Windows 7 Forums

LAKE ELSINORE -- After four years at Elsinore Elementary School, second grade teacher Michael Haas decided he had enough, he said. Enough of low test scores, enough of being scrutinized by district and state officials, enough of the endless staff meetings to strategize for improvement.
Haas recently transferred out of the underachieving school, where more than 50 percent of the students are "English-learners" -- students whose primary language is something other than English and aren't yet proficient in English -- and began his new third-grade teaching position at Cottonwood Canyon Elementary, which opened last year.
That school is in a new housing development in the more affluent eastern end of Lake Elsinore. Most of the students there are white and only 3.6 percent of them are classified by the state as English-learners.
But as experienced teachers like Haas flee older schools for greener pastures, students who are poor and still learning English are getting shortchanged in the process, some teachers and school district officials say.
And the flight of more experienced teachers from schools with heavy concentrations of English learners and low-income students stands to increase, as the Lake Elsinore Unified School District opens several new schools it has planned in more upscale neighborhoods in the next few years, a district official says.
Like most teachers union contracts, the Lake Elsinore Teachers Association's contract makes seniority a factor in determining which teachers get first call on transfers to new schools.
That preference is resulting in many more experienced teachers heading for the new schools, Assistant Superintendent of Personnel Keith McCarthy said. The loss can add to the already heavy burden of English-learners at those older schools, some district officials and teachers say.
"I feel the children in these schools do not make as much improvement (in their academic performance) as they would make because these teachers have left," McCarthy said.
Some of those transfers have come even as the district struggles to address possible state sanctions at three underachieving schools that have lost teachers to new schools in the past year.
Because they have all been on a state list of underachieving schools for more than one year, Elsinore Elementary, David A. Brown Middle School and Elsinore Middle School are all facing sanctions for low standardized-test scores, under the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
The state recently required those schools to offer parents the option of enrolling their children at other district schools and to provide transportation to those students.
Haas said he loved working with the children and staff at Elsinore Elementary and realizes that the wealth of experience he acquired over 32 years as a teacher will be missed, but he simply couldn't take the bureaucracy any more.
"At Cottonwood you get much higher (test) results, and everyone says, 'What a great teacher you are,' but I am the same teacher I was at Elsinore."
Many of the other 12 teachers who have left Elsinore Elementary in the past year and a half, left for the same reasons, he said.
"I think most people are leaving those low-income schools, coming to these new schools, because here the pressure is off them. They can come in and teach and not have somebody scrutinizing everything they do, and there is a lot more praise."
Greener pastures
Since the district opened Cottonwood Canyon Elementary School last year, three of Elsinore Elementary's 33-member staff have transferred to the new school, McCarthy said. Another 10 teachers have left for other district schools. All but one transferred to schools with significantly lower concentrations of English-learners.
Elsinore Elementary School sits just north of the downtown area, in an older, predominantly Latino neighborhood. Of the 16 replacement teachers who have started working at the school in the past year and a half, only one transferred from another school in the district; the rest are new hires.
Nine of Cottonwood Canyon's 30 teachers are new hires. Of the remaining 21 teachers, seven transferred from schools where 40 percent or more of the student populations were English-learners in the 2002-03 school year, district records show.
District records reveal a similar phenomenon at neighboring Canyon Lake Middle School, which also opened last year. Of that school's 35 teachers, seven transferred from David A. Brown and three from Elsinore Middle School, both of which are on the list of schools facing sanctions. More than 24 percent of Elsinore Middle School students are classified as English learners. Meanwhile, just 8 percent of Canyon Lake Middle School students are English learners.
A teachers union official agreed with McCarthy that the loss of experienced teachers can hurt those who are learning English.
"It isn't always the best thing for students like English learners, who would need a more experienced teacher," said Elsinore Middle School teacher DeVere Wolsey, who also handles grievances for the teachers association.
Teacher dilemma
Many experienced teachers are in the same quandary as Haas, Wolsey said.
"Many teachers like to work with challenged students and would like to continue to do so," he said. But stringent federal, state and school district demands for improving those students' test scores -- in spite of the additional challenges with English learners -- have many of the teachers feeling overwhelmed, he added.
"Because you are working the double task of teaching students English and the core curriculum; it's a double-whammy," Wolsey said.
And with the district scheduled to open three new elementary schools, a new middle school, and a new high school within the next three to four years, the loss of experienced teachers to those new schools stands to increase unless officials can come up with a plan to hold on to those teachers, McCarthy said.
"It could get worse," he said. "It affects us greatly when new schools open, because that's when the majority of transfers take place."
Although all new teachers must complete an intensive training program to prepare them for working with English learners, that program is often no substitute for experience in working with those students, McCarthy said. Experienced teachers should carefully weigh their importance to English-learning students before making the decision to transfer, he said.
Some chose to stay
McCarthy may have had Elsinore Elementary fifth-grade teacher Phyllis Duarte in mind.
The soft-spoken woman is in her 40th year of teaching. Yet despite all of that seniority, she decided to stay at Elsinore, she said, out of concern for the children at the school.
English learners and low-income students already face so many obstacles to achievement that it is unfair to pile one more burden on their shoulders, she said.
"So many of these kids lack experience; they don't go to museums or movies like more affluent kids do," she said. "If I asked my kids, 'Who has ever been to the ocean? --- I'd only see a few hands.'"
Experienced teachers often have developed a sensitivity to students' needs that only years in the classroom can teach, Duarte said.
"With the experience I have teaching these particular children, I see where the holes and gaps are that I need to fill in," she said.
Duarte said that in her classroom, five of her students are more advanced English learners. But the lack of English language skills of even the most advanced students become all too apparent on occasion, she said, citing a lesson in which she asked the students to draw a data table.
"Some of them literally drew a table with four legs," she said.
The district and the teachers union need to work together to come up with a plan to reduce the exodus of more experienced teachers to the new schools, McCarthy said.
He suggested the district officials consider offering financial incentives for experienced teachers to stay or consider investing more money in equipment and classroom supplies.
Facing up to the challenge
A state Department of Education official, who is working with the school district, said last week that her department recognizes the school district's efforts to address the needs of English learners and that it has made several improvements. The loss of experienced teachers, however, is always a concern, she added.
"Clearly the more qualified and more experienced a teacher is, the greater the likelihood the student is going to do better," said Connie Vinson, a state Department of Education consultant assigned to work with the district on English learner programs.
She acknowledged the challenges faced by teachers at schools like Elsinore Elementary.
"Teachers have been increasingly nervous about all of the initiatives at the federal, state and local level and about measuring up; it's making everybody nervous," Vinson said.
But, she encouraged teachers to face up to those challenges.
"The challenge to teachers is to examine their own teaching practices, see what is working and what isn't and incorporate that into their teaching practice," she said.
School board trustee Vick Knight said last week that one of the first things he would do -- if he alone could make the decision -- would be to end the practice of giving experienced teachers transfer preference based on seniority.
"The experienced teachers should teach the kids who need that experience the most," he said. "It's unfair that union contracts favor (teacher) seniority over the needs of kids."
Board trustee Sonja Wilson showed little sympathy for teachers who leave older schools.
"I feel like if you are a teacher, you should be able to teach any child. That's what a teacher is supposed to do, whether it be an English learner or whatever."
For those who can't deal with the pressure at inner-city schools, perhaps it's better for the children if they do move on to other schools, Wilson added.
"Maybe it would be best that they go, because they wouldn't be good for the kids," she said.

Today's FRIDAY READS highlights a super cool book that I read recently. Kelly Oram's THE AVERY SHAW EXPERIMENT is a cute, fun story with a really unique premise. I LOVED this book! I seriously identified with Avery, the endearingly geeky heroine, not because she was a geek, but because of the heartbreak she experienced at the start of the book. I think all ladies can remember what it was like to feel that way during our fragile teenage years. And Grayson... well, regardless of his past reputation, the fact that he comes to Avery's rescue sticks him on a pedestal from the get-go, and, truly, he never really falls off. The characters are interesting and quirky, and the resolution delivers what it promises. I HIGHLY recommend it for your summer reading repertoire!
Here's the blurb:
When Avery Shaw's heart is shattered by her life-long best friend, she chooses to deal with it the only way she knows how—scientifically.
The state science fair is coming up and Avery decides to use her broken heart as the topic of her experiment. She's going to find the cure. By forcing herself to experience the seven stages of grief through a series of social tests, she believes she will be able to get over Aiden Kennedy and make herself ready to love again. But she can't do this experiment alone, and her partner (ex partner!) is the one who broke her heart.
Avery finds the solution to her troubles in the form of Aiden's older brother Grayson. The gorgeous womanizer is about to be kicked off the school basketball team for failing physics. He's in need of a good tutor and some serious extra credit. But when Avery recruits the lovable Grayson to be her "objective outside observer," she gets a whole lot more than she bargained for, because Grayson has a theory of his own: Avery doesn't need to grieve. She needs to live. And if there's one thing Grayson Kennedy is good at, it's living life to the fullest.

Happy reading and writing!

Styles are perhaps the hardest things to get right on Android-powered devices. It's quite easy for designers and developers to get frustrated when it comes to styling the views. How many times have you feared to break your app's originality in the wake of changing a particular style? I'm sure many a times. In this post, I'll be offering you some handy tips on styling Views in Android. So, let's get started and unleash more about the view styling concept in Android.
What exactly is a Style in Android?
Style basically refers to a collection of properties that determine the look and format for a View or window. Some of the key properties specified by style include padding, height, font size, font color, background color and a lot more. One of the best parts about styles in Android is that they share a philosophy that's similar to cascading stylesheets used in web design. In other words, they allow the user to separate the design from the original content.
Here's a sample layout XML:
android:text="@string/hello" />
You can convert the aforementioned layout XML into the below XML using style:
android:text="@string/hello" />
If you carefully observe the above code, you'll find that all of the style-related attributes have been removed from the layout XML and instead inserted into the style definition that's called CodeFont. This style definition is then applied with the style attribute.
When should you use styles in Android?
Being in the profession of Android Programmers, you might be aware of the fact that there are a number of situations when using a style works best instead of using inline attributes. You can use styles under a situation where multiple Views are semantically similar. Also, you can opt for using references within styles when you find doing so appropriate. Here's a demo for the way in which you can define a style:
<style name="MyButton">
<item name="android:minWidth">88dp</item>
<item name="android:minHeight">48dp</item>
A brief on defining Styles in Android
When it comes to a style, it is defined in an XML resource which is separated from the XML that actually specifies the respective layout. The XML file holding the style will reside under res/values/directory of the project and contain <resources> as the root node. Although, you can name the XML file arbitrarily, ensure that it uses the .xml extension. In order to define multiple style for a single file, you can opt for <style> tag, with each style having its unique name that would aid in identifying the style.
An insight on using styles in Android
Once you're done with defining the style, you can opt for using it in your XML layout file with the help of style attribute. Here's the step-wise process that should be followed for using a style for individual elements:
Step 1: Use Eclipse IDE for creating a new Android application and name it as StyleDemo with package name as com.example.styledemo.
Step 2: Now, modify the src/MainActivity.java file by adding click event listeners and handlers.
Step 3: As per this step, define your style as available within the global style file called res/values/style.xml and define the custom attributes for the button under focus.
Step 4: Now, modify the default content of res/layout/activity_main.xml file to add a set of Android UI controls that would be used for setting the new style.
Step 5: As per the fifth step, define the constants in the res/values/strings.xml file.
Step 6: Finally, run the application for launching the Android emulator, followed by verifying the result of moderation's that have been done to the Android application.
Some bonus tips on using styles correctly
Although using styles in Android has always been full of fun and excitement, there are times when even the professionals tend to get stuck up with issues in styling the views in Android applications. Here are a few measures that will enable you to stay at bay from such styling errors:
Never create a style if it's to be used only once. Since styles are referred to being an extra layer of abstraction, they can definitely add complexity to the app functioning. Thus, there's no point building a style unless you're not using it in multiple locations.
Never create a style just because multiple Views are using the same attributes. Since styles play a pivotal role in reducing the count of repeated attributes, it is recommended to use a style only when you can edit the same without any side effects.
Wrapping Up
Now you know it all, the basic details about the correct use of styles in Android. Hope the information furnished above would aid you in undertaking all your view styles initiatives in the correct manner.
