Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by attorneytraveler A 5 Star Experience in Athens
The Intercontinental Athenaeum Athens is a superb hotel, with a most attentive and gracious staff.
My experience, from the first contact with guest relations and the concierge as to an upgrade and dinner reservations through checkout, was truly a 5 star experience.
My room had a fabulous view of the Acropolis; and, was spacious and well furnished.
The Premiere Restaurant on top of the hotel was truly a gourmet experience, with a very attentive service, a fantastic menu, and a beautiful view of the Acropolis.
I shall be looking forward to returning to this perfect hotel.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Yiannis39 Excellent Hotel
This hotel is the best in Athens and my first choice whenever I visit.I always feel at home when I stay. Its location is very convenient for business and pleasure. They have a great shuttle bus service to Syntagma square, but if you miss the bus, taxis are a cheap alternative. The Premiere restaurant on the roof is excellent; superb views of the Acropolis and exquisite cuisine. The staff is always warm and courteous. I highly recommend it.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Todd59 Shuttle bus
The shuttle to the square was the best thing about this place. Super expensive food and drinks. Snobby staff except for concierge. As an Ambassador at the platinum level I expected more. When I asked if there were any upgrades upon check-in I was informed that "we have selected a very nice room for you". The guaranteed upgrade didn't exist. Will not be going back to this property. Will give InterContinental another try. Hopefully with better results.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by BangkokDon Memorable view and great stay
Be warned, the Athenaeum Athens is quite a way from down town Athens......but the view of the Parthenon floodlit at night makes it all worthwhile, not to mention the brilliant service if one stays on the club floor, as we did.
There is a regular shuttle bus to the downtown area so the area in which the hotel is situated is not of concern, unless you want to walk.
Rooms are as always very good, linen and sleep quality exceptional. My only criticism is that, surely in a club floor room, there should be a real coffee machine and not those awful sachets of instant coffee.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Maddie13 Beautiful hotel in Athens
My husband and I stayed here in October 2013 as part of a Trafalgar tour. The hotel is beautiful. The room was spacious, and very comfortable. The hotel is very accessible to all the sites in Athens and the hotel provides a very convenient shuttle bus to the centre of the city. The Garden Top Restaurant was superb, and the view of the Acropolis at night is breathtaking while you wine and dine. The meal presentation is exquisite and the meal itself is out of this world! I highly recommend this hotel.

Superb Intact XL Genuine Ancient Roman Glass Vial 99AD $279.99
Genuine Ancient Roman Iridescent Blown Glass Vial Intact and Unrepaired.
CLASSIFICATION: Ancient Roman Blown Glass Vial.
ATTRIBUTION: Eastern Roman Empire (Syria), 1st Century A.D.
Height: 80 millimeters (3 1/4 inches).
Bowl Diameter: 11 millimeters (1/2 inch).
Neck Diameter: 8 millimeters (1/3 inch).
Top Lip Diameter: 16 millimeters (2/3 inch).
Weight: 5.99 grams.
CONDITION: Excellent, no cracks, chips, breakage, or repairs. Fairly uncommon style. Minor scratches and scuffs consistent with use and then burial in soil. Heavy layer of iridescence and soil deposits caused by prolonged burial in soil).
DETAIL: This is a very handsome, complete and unrepaired first century A.D. Roman blown glass vial of reasonably nice dimensions. Most Roman glass vessels recovered complete (intact or repairable) are between 1 « and 3 inches in size. This specimen is over 3 inches tall, and is entirely intact and unrepaired. This specimen possesses a heavy (albeit patchy) iridescent burial patina which is silver in color with plays of green, blue, pink and purple. Though you can see some of the original green-colored glass peeking out, the silver iridescent covering is quite striking, very beautiful, and relatively uncommon. These small jars, pitchers, unguentariums, jugs, bottles, jars and flasks were used to contain aromatic oils, perfumes, medicinal ointments, and cosmetics.
It is not to say that the Romans did not use larger pieces of glass on their tables such as bowls and cups; and even larger containers for transporting foodstuffs; because they did. In fact whatever the Romans had produced in clay in the first and second centuries B.C. was by the first and second centuries A.D. more commonly produced in glass. However the larger pieces of glass are rarely found intact. The Romans for instance produced fluted, engraved, multi-tiered, and cut glass bowls of fantastic quality and design - and only a few intact specimens have ever been recovered intact. In fact even the medium-sized pieces such as this, and even smaller sized pieces are rarely recovered intact except as grave goods.
This piece as you can see has almost resembles a modern test tube one would expect to see sitting in a chemical laboratory. Normally this would have been used to dispense medicinal potions or aromatic unguents. While the style is not rare, it is certainly less common than the more often found, plain and undecorated jars and pots. The vial possesses some soil deposits both inside and outside the bottle. Possessing a very pleasing green color beneath a stunning silver layer of iridescence, this bottle is probably amongst the earlier Roman specimens, as in later years colorless glass was to prove most popular with the Romans. It was of course carefully cleaned, but some of the soil adhesions are pretty stubborn. They could be cleaned off by someone very patient and persistent, but as it is, the vial is very beautiful. It is unrepaired, with no cracks, chips, or breakage. It's a truly remarkable and authentic ancient glass vessel from the Roman Province of Syria.
If you wish to display it, it would look very nice in a shadow box or plaque. If you so desire we can provide a framed plaque and mount the artifact for you (so that it could be removed without damage at a later date) - or we could also mount it into a glass-fronted shadow box. If you did choose to have the vial mounted onto a plaque or shadow box, you would be quite pleased by the outcome. You can see a small version of such a framed display plaque (see it here). It would make a wonderfully handsome and historically significant gift. The plaque narrates a brief outline of the history of the Roman Empire, along with a very nice image of ruins dating from the Roman Empire, and a map of the Roman Empire at its apex. It would make a great gift, for yourself or a friend, and would surely delight a son or daughter. It would not only make a very handsome display, but would be very educational as well. Whether simply displayed as it is, or mounted into a shadow box or plaque, this is a wonderfully significant artifact of that magnificent empire which spanned Europe from the Atlantic to the Black Sea. It is sure to make someone very pleased.
HISTORY: Glass was an enormously costly luxury, not only for the early Romans prior to the first century (A.D.), but going back 3,000 years old to ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Sumeria. Though glass jewelry, especially gemstones, have been fashioned for over 3,000 years, very little is known about the production of glass in the ancient world. The ancient Egyptians fashioned amulets, beads, and small vessels out of a material known as faience, an ancient precursor of glass created by crushing quartz sand and mixing it with an alkali binder and mineral oxides to provide color. Written records from ancient Mesopotamia refer to the manufacture of glass, describing the manufacturing process as difficult and secret. Ancient lumps of glass have been discovered in the area and dated as far back as 4,000 B.C.
Around 1,500 B.C. two new production techniques gave rise to more frequent manufacture of glass in Egypt and Mesopotamia. Both techniques involved the use of molten glass rods, either wrapped around a mud core, or placed within a mold. However the end product was nonetheless frightfully expensive and the process lengthy. Finally around the 1st century B.C. glass blowing techniques were developed, wherein a blob of molten glass was inflated either free form or into a mold by blowing through a hollow metal blowpipe. Glass blowing became widespread during the later Roman Empire, and the inexpensive process created huge demand for glass products, including jewelry. Syria became the "glass factory" of the Roman Empire and glassware came to be widely disseminated throughout the Roman Empire. If you would like to learn more about ancient Roman/Syrian glass, there are two wonderful websites to start you on your voyage here and here
One of the greatest civilizations of recorded history was the ancient Roman Empire. In exchange for a very modest amount of contemporary currency, you can possess a small part of that great civilization in the form of a 2,000 year old piece of jewelry. The Roman civilization, in relative terms the greatest military power in the history of the world, was founded in the 8th century (B.C.). In the 4th Century (B.C.) the Romans were the dominant power on the Italian Peninsula, having defeated the Etruscans and Celts. In the 3rd Century (B.C.) the Romans conquered Sicily, and in the following century defeated Carthage, and controlled the Greece. Throughout the remainder of the 2nd Century (B.C.) the Roman Empire continued its gradual conquest of the Hellenistic (Greek Colonial) World by conquering Syria and Macedonia; and finally came to control Egypt in the 1st Century (B.C.).
The pinnacle of Roman power was achieved in the 1st Century (A.D.) as Rome conquered much of Britain and Western Europe. For a brief time, the era of "Pax Romana", a time of peace and consolidation reigned. Civilian emperors were the rule, and the culture flourished with a great deal of liberty enjoyed by the average Roman Citizen. However within 200 years the Roman Empire was in a state of steady decay, attacked by Germans, Goths, and Persians. In the 4th Century (A.D.) the Roman Empire was split between East and West. The Great Emperor Constantine temporarily arrested the decay of the Empire, but within a hundred years after his death the Persians captured Mesopotamia, Vandals infiltrated Gaul and Spain, and the Goths even sacked Rome itself. Most historians date the end of the Western Roman Empire to 476 (A.D.) when Emperor Romulus Augustus was deposed. However the Eastern Roman Empire (The Byzantine Empire) survived until the fall of Constantinople in 1453 A.D.
At its peak, the Roman Empire stretched from Britain in the West, throughout most of Western, Central, and Eastern Europe, and into Asia Minor. Valuables such as coins and jewelry were commonly buried for safekeeping, and inevitably these ancient citizens would succumb to one of the many perils of the ancient world. Oftentimes the survivors of these individuals did not know where the valuables had been buried, and today, two thousand years later caches of coins and rings are still commonly uncovered throughout Europe and Asia Minor. Roman Soldiers oftentimes came to possess large quantities of "booty" from their plunderous conquests, and routinely buried their treasure for safekeeping before they went into battle. If they met their end in battle, most often the whereabouts of their treasure was likewise, unknown. Throughout history these treasures have been inadvertently discovered by farmers in their fields, uncovered by erosion, and the target of unsystematic searches by treasure seekers. With the introduction of metal detectors and other modern technologies to Eastern Europe in the past three or four decades, an amazing number of new finds are seeing the light of day 2,000 years or more after they were originally hidden by their past owners. And with the liberalization of post-Soviet Eastern Europe, new markets have opened eager to share in these treasures of the Roman Empire.

What does it do? I just updated the APM Planner to 1.1.77 and it changed the TRIM_THROTTLE from 425 to 531. I just started to re-tune my PID and throttle hold went first. Bam! The heli hit right to the ground in a split second as soon as I switch the mode. Bench time again!
I didn't have any luck cleaning up the signal on the MB1260. I suspect it's just too sensitive. But you're already getting much better results than me. Or it might be I got some swarf in my sensor since I do a lot of machining in the shop.
Don't forget, those spikes might even be a flying insect.
I don't agree with the hovering pressure affecting vibes, but it you want to investigate that's up to you.
I was going to suggest you try some of the common FBL vibration mitigation ideas. First one would be to use the two-layer approach. Pad, metal plate, pad, sensor.
Also, how exactly is that fiberglass board held down? I wonder if it could be vibrating on the frame?
lol @ flying insect! It is possible since the 1260 has a resolution of 1cm I believe.
I have my APM2 sticked onto a blank PCB using 3M foam pad and lightly held down with screws and nuts on 4 corners. Then the whole thing sit on some sticky anti-vibration pad that is 5mm think. I forgot to get the metal plate part. Going to order a piece now.
This random drifting is pissing me off. Today, I tried to tune it again and I eventually had to use full stick to counter it! FULL STICK!!! and that was still not enough before it land, and it striked the blades. I'm taking the whole thing apart and re-mounting it at the bottom under the heli, just to rule out if that is the problem.
Wesley, can you send me a PM with your email address? Tridge looked at your logs, and he needs you to do some tests. Your logs are unusual.
PM Sent. However, I moved the APM2 to under the heli last night though. Just finished it at 7am. Let's see if the random drift still happens.
You say "The "leaning" problem is in random direction. Sometimes to the left or right and I have to hold the roll more and more. Sometimes is the pitch. And it could change direction during one session of hovering. That's why I used to call it the random drifting problem."
In my opinion this drift is not quite random. Try to link the drift to the RC sticks movements.
Today I made an experiment with APM1 on the table. No vibrations, no sonar ...
I uploaded Arducopter 2.5.4 with a modified AP_MotorsMatrix.cpp.
I modified the following code:
// mix roll, pitch, yaw, throttle into output for each motor
for( i=0; i<AP_MOTORS_MAX_NUM_MOTORS; i++ ) {
if( motor_enabled[i] ) { motor_out[i] = _rc_throttle->radio_out +
_rc_roll->pwm_out * _roll_factor[i] +
_rc_pitch->pwm_out * _pitch_factor[i] +
pushing the four components of the sum to the four outputs.
I noticed that moving a stick (pitch, roll or yaw) the corresponding output drifts slowely until reaches a limit. Moving the stick in opposite direction the output drifts back.
Is this a software bug?
I have no idea. Sorry, my understanding of the code was blown with the move to motors library and pointers.
What do you think is the bug exactly?
I have no ideea. I try for the last few weeks to understand the code.
Unforunatelly I am not a software developper, I am a beginner with C++.
An expert must answer your question.
I only noticed a strange behavior in stabilise. To find such a bug (if it is the case) deep digging is necessary.
Oh, you know what? Did you have the APM board sitting flat on the table? If you did, the effect you are seeing is probably simply due to the fact that the board is not moving, so the I terms are building up. That would be normal.
Try your test again after setting all the Stab and Rate I terms to zero.
Thanks for the tip. I will make the test tomorow.
The test confirmed what you said about I terms.
For this test my modified code in AP_MotorMatrix.cpp is this:
// mix roll, pitch, yaw, throttle into output for each motor
if( motor_enabled[i] ) {
motor_out[i] = _rc_throttle->radio_out;
if( motor_enabled[i] ) {
motor_out[i] = 1500 + _rc_roll->pwm_out * _roll_factor[i];
if( motor_enabled[i] ) {
motor_out[i] = 1500 + _rc_pitch->pwm_out * _pitch_factor[i];
if( motor_enabled[i] ) {
motor_out[i] = 1500 + _rc_yaw->pwm_out*_yaw_factor[i];
I tried to see the behaviour of each term. There are a few things I do not understand.
1. Pitching or rolling the AP output increases on Ch1 in both cases. I expected no variations here.
2. Ch2 and Ch3 are acting as I expected, there output is proportional with the roll respectively the pitch angle.
3. Turning to left or right (yawing) the AP Ch4 seems to be proportional with the yaw rate not with the yaw angle.

Starting this log to track my progress and maintain motivation. It'll probably do a better job of keeping me accountable if I deviate from my goal.
Here are my stats:
Age 35
Height 5'7"
Weight 155
Current Goal is a clean bulk to add 10 lbs.
Been working out off and on most of my life. Don't have a mentor/coach for guidance, but have learned tons since I found this site not too long ago. A few weeks back, I began tracking my macros and realized that my diet has been holding me back all this time. I calculated my caloric maint level, but something doesn't seem right. Although the mirror tells me I am fuller, the scale shows that I am still not gaining weight. I've slowly added the calories to where I am close to 4,000 cals a day.
Cal Maint Level = about 2,400 according to the Harris Benedict Formula
Current Macros (avg for the most recent week)
Calories = 4,000
Carbs = 380g (40%)
Protein = 270g (30%)
Fats = 120g (30%)
All calories come from natural foods (lean meats/complex carbs/good fats). Only add a whey protein powder for Pre/Post workout. Will most likely begin adding basic supps in the future. And I kill the weights. Only other thing I can improve is my sleep. But with work and 2 kids, that's hit or miss. Since increasing the calories, I have felt more muscle fullness so I'm on the right track, just afraid to gain too much weight too fast if it hits me all at once.
So my question is: at 4,000 calories does it make sense to continue adding, or is there a delay where the body says WTF! and then starts growing?
I'll be updating weekly. Any tips/critiques are welcome. Thanks

The Center of Everything
For 10-year-old Evelyn Bucknow, there really is no place like home. On all the world maps she's ever seen, the United States has been smack dab in the middle, with Kansas in the middle of that. "I feel so lucky to live here, right in the center," she proclaims, in Moriarty's wonderfully down-to-earth debut. Dazzled by visions of Ronald Reagan on the television, the twinkle in his eye and his contention that "God put America between two oceans on purpose," Evelyn's youthful optimism is shaken by her young single mother Tina's inability to take control of her life. As Tina falls for her married boss, who gives her a car (his contribution to the trickle-down theory) but leaves her pregnant and shattered, Evelyn grows closer to her neighbor, a curly-haired scamp named Travis (who has eyes only for Evelyn's stunning friend, Deena) and her Bible-thumping grandmother, a regular listener to Jerry Falwell's radio show. As a teenager, she is influenced by a couple of liberal-minded teachers, one an emigre from New York and the other an introverted biology instructor intent on teaching evolution, but she never cuts her family ties. With renewed faith in her scatterbrained but endearing mother and with college on the horizon, she begins to find her place in the social and political spectrum and to appreciate the vastness of a world that just might extend beyond the Sunflower State. Moriarty deftly treads the line between adolescence and adulthood, and insecurity and self-assurance, offering a moving portrait of life in blue-collar middle America.

Tailor Made Bride
Witemeyer's debut will grab fans in the historical romance crowd. She blends lively writing, storytelling prowess, and enough romance to keep readers satisfied. Hannah Richards opens her dress shop in 1881 Coventry, Tex., with little more than a dream to help women add beauty to their lives. Livery owner Jericho Tucker, however, finds nothing beautiful in her plans. Despite J.T's antagonism and Hannah's strong will, the pair find ways to meet in the middle and come out together. Sidelights include matchmaking on Hannah's part, a sinister rival, dangerous floodwaters, and two people who truly desire to follow Christ. Readers will ponder, with J.T. and Hannah, the difference between beauty and vanity: You may see a room full of harmless fashions, but if you open your eyes, you'll find that, in truth, it is filled with the temptations to indulge in sinful vanity, he says. If God had wanted the world to be a somber, colorless place, he would have made everything in black and gray, she says. Thought-provoking and entertaining faith-based fiction for sure. (June)

Traveling Light by Max Lucado
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Traveling-Light/Max-Lucado/e/9781418578589/?itm=1&USRI=traveling+lightWeary travelers. You've seen them-everything they own crammed into their luggage. Staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffels and backpacks.
Backs ache. Feet burn. Eyelids droop. We've all seen people like that. At times, we are people like that-if not with our physical luggage, then at least with our spiritual load. We all lug loads we were never intended to carry. Fear. Worry. Discontent. No wonder we get so weary. We're worn out from carrying that excess baggage. Wouldn't it be nice to lose some of those bags? That's the invitation of Max Lucado. With the twenty-third Psalm as our guide, let's release some of the burdens we were never intended to bear.

Parrish's latest opens upon a world so tilted--people are "shifted" into new bodies, while their old bodies and personalities proceed--that it brings Philip K. Dick to mind. Gradually, the Dick-like paranoia itself shifts into flourishes of sword-and-sorcery and a cast of characters rather like X-Men. Psychokinesis is the theme, and Parrish makes it seem plausible, as his reluctant hero, Collin Boyd/Grant Borrows, discovers his powers in a kind of spiritual journey. The cliff-hanging plot mostly holds up, and the pace is, well, relentless. It's almost as though Parrish has too much talent and can't quite bring it under control. Nonetheless, another of Bethany's sf writers, Randall Ingermanson comes to mind, and Parrish is every bit as skilled. John Mort

I STRONGLY recommend that you DL Nook and Kindle apps for your computer, phone whatever because you will get more books.
I also STRONGLY recommend that you DL these quickly because many free books go back to regular price quickly....some linger....but no point in taking a chance. If you don't like the book delete and you are out of nothing.
It may help to open an amazon and barnes and noble tab just to search the books instead of clicking the link but you'll see what works best for you.
IF there is a interest here at Mrs. S then I will continue the thread here as well as on FB. I love a good read and sharing a good deal.
I may also start a "bargain thread" of books....I have found many $2.99 and less that are great reads.....I lean more toward the .99 books though unless it is lendable between my friend and I.
Let me know if you find anything!!

Aerial photography is one of our core products, and is used for the derivation of many of our other environmental datasets. Historically this has of course been used in the map making process, and is a common element in many GIS, used either as a backdrop or as an active layer. We offer many GIS and cartographic services and solutions and all of our data is GIS compatible. If you want to find out more about our geographic data for GIS and mapping then please give our team a call on 01530 518518 or email email@example.com.
Maps have evolved... They are no longer lines and words, the white space is now full of detail.

There are also opportunities of dimming lights or even switching them off during certain hours. The Night Mapping is orthorectified and can therefore be used in any GIS or desktop mapping software to be used alongside other data including daytime photography, asset inventories and crime statistics. The product is being developed further to enable users to measure the amount of light (luminance) in lux or candela.
Detailed measurements of the height of the ground and the objects and structure on it can provide a new dimension to the understanding and management of the local, national, or even global environments. Bluesky's range of height products are designed to take geographic information to the next dimension.

Justin Bieber Gets Sick On Stage
First Published: September 30, 2012 1:28 PM EDT Credit: Getty Premium
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- What a trooper! Justin Bieber took his devotion to his Beliebers to a whole new level on Saturday night.
The 18-year-old superstar, seemingly suffering from some sort of stomach ailment, threw up on stage during a concert in Glendale, Ariz., but pushed through the entire show for his fans.
According to TMZ, Justin also left the stage twice due to illness, and apologized to the understanding audience for being sick.
The dedicated pop star kept a sense of humor about the evening with an "Anchorman" reference, Tweeting, "And …. Milk was a bad choice! Lol"
He later posted a photo of himself resting in bed with the caption, "Great show. Getting better for tomorrow's show !!!! Love u"
The Arizona stop marked the first show of the "As Long As You Love Me" singer's new "Believe" tour.

Two great options for you folks looking to replace that squeaky noisy showerhead
of yours! The first one features 127 holes in a 3.5" diameter showerhead that
rotates a full 360 degrees and has 28 inches of vertical movement for even the
tallest of you people. The second features 90 holes in a much larger 6" diameter
showerhead that gives you an incredible look and cascading water for the bit larger
of the bathrooms. The 6" unit, personally, I find a bit nicer looking although
it doesn`t quite have the movement of the 3.5" one. Both come with standard 1/2-inch
fittings and are tax free (unless you`re in UT) and ship for only $2.95 no matter
how many you buy.

This is one of the biggest draws in tech -- it's -- Intel developer's forum -- It is the fifteenth annual developers -- it draws.
Thousands of people hundreds and hundreds of companies and what they want to do is hear what the world's largest semiconductor company has in store for your gadgets.
Let's find out ourselves with the CEO Paul Otellini of Intel in a Fox Business explains that he's -- We want to hear what's coming out I wanna get right to some of the biggest news and that is that has well ship.
Branded -- what does it do what -- what want to help up us.
It's more or less it's higher much higher performance almost.
Computer performance but graphics performance in particular seeing -- more more things into smaller form factors we've taken the power down by factor twenty.
From our prior generations of think about taking the highest performing.
Laptop -- for just tough trip to -- -- today and now allow you to build civilians like the -- -- -- so.
It is an energy -- are just for people that are now that's what they say here of the valley energy sit -- so.
I was hearing that what used to take seventeen watts of power -- just want to take chat with the house while ones that it will often tend less than ten.
Yahoo! did deliver product chip Goodyear we're in sampling now to our customers and you know these things are not when you do exactly the typically around that you would start shipping to start to get orders now and we will -- -- working on designs.
With customers for two years now.
And a lot of other innovative form factors if you saw yesterday at that are keynotes are going to be improved.
By taking advantage of the ship because they can now build consider machines -- -- whorehouse.
Well longer lasting battery weapons is a better you know what all the -- -- at -- -- Hewlett-Packard you tell all the above.
Everything right now every customer we have -- is on Iran household it's it's as I -- I see is the best -- Weaver made it blends all live.
But the trends of mobility and consumer electronics.
Into classic computing and and with no compromise -- -- -- three days a serious case -- at apple.
I sure hope so.
OK so not definitive just yet I can't preannouncement but you know those -- -- in India in -- -- of the customers that would normally long.
Pricing pricing has become it's always a big deal semiconductor -- but it's become an even bigger DL -- B -- the Kindle fire the knew what just came out with Texas Instruments chips because.
They work very well what price does that concern what does that tell you what.
What we have we have chips that the itself for -- prices.
High performance -- not cut prices that are comparable to what TI or walk -- Nvidia.
Ships -- and we just built -- ourselves we collect the -- the margin of both on the architecture and on the manufacturing.
So what we're in really good shape to do that we're excited about -- -- as they launch which brings mainstream -- not mainstream computing into tablets.
We're stuck here at the touch point what gets all about a -- -- -- some of the -- -- and second to let you know when you say you're in good shape of course just last week that you.
Analysts -- started hitting the -- because you announced that -- Q3 revenues would be less than expected you were gonna show that that was coming down because of macroeconomic weakness and also.
Some at a price -- off message.
It up is that simply -- it was so that the economy of the world to slowing down or as analysts believe they're very concerned.
That maybe this is tablets and Smartphones.
Inevitably sucking the air the oxygen out of it tells -- Yeah I don't see it that way there's clearly clearly we're in a battle for the -- consumer wallet between you buy your next lot property by -- next Smartphone earth or -- And tablet growth has been phenomenal the last couple -- We have factored that into the current quarter that we had we've factored in tablet erosion and factored in soft consumer sales in the US and Europe.
Which -- we've seen coming.
But we didn't see coming and it's largely as it did.
It was China slowed down Brazil slowed down enterprise sales slowed down and to some extent.
Up a bit about a stall ahead of -- the windows they conversion you know -- which caused our customers to.
Decreased their inventory -- Intel chips.
In -- season when they normally increase their chips off the combination of those lettuce to have that the that it via revised guidance you saw.
Welcome -- not gearing -- here is China and Brazil.
Suddenly slower than you expected.
We talked about -- in our in our personal.
You know -- looking at wearing.
You talked about our people point you grab that market share for the tablets are found that.
The Smartphone plant but until people are still waiting sport that market killer something that's really excited you've got some here.
Of course today we can't ignore the apple announcement that came -- the odds are thought -- -- it got here.
Well this is one chipping you know today in Europe it's it's -- -- wrong social ships in the UK and France it's a 117.
They got -- like phones 300 court programs of three grams differences it's pretty light it's it's pretty high performance it's an android phone.
This is one ships in China from CTE.
They actually like you know -- to use the graphics to created an interactive.
Interface on this the start -- And this happens to be megaphone which is shipping in Russia if customers in China and Motorola of course launches -- person.
That's the one Motorola when do we start seeing that off shelves well the launch this month.
September value seen on the shelf right after launch the initial phones -- for not you not for the US -- -- Motorola customers.
Well offshore and what -- see you -- -- probably next year OK let's get to Alter bucks but first got really want to know your outlook for PC sales.
Up the researchers are saying nine tenths of a percent growth which is basically pathetic I mean it's not good here for at least this here.
But let's say for example Jefferies their segment down 4%.
Which isn't what you see more.
Gets pinned down on a number right now because things are still.
Very foggy with the windows launch coming up you could -- -- scenario says that people start buying a citizens' long on the Wednesday October.
-- -- Now we're just had a lot of people waiting we're gonna be -- -- and the end if you listen to that the pundits and a Mossberg and people like that they're -- saying don't buy a PC.
Until those -- -- and that there's clearly some impact wrap up of that.
You'll see how that plays out.
-- I think that that India in the overall demand.
My sense is this is principally macroeconomic driven we've seen this before we sought and 09 -- ten.
Eleven into its -- -- for the first part of -- we outperformed the economies.
Because people were doing some repression machine.
I think at some point you have to that the global economies catch up with you.
And we're in a period of uncertainty.
Uncertainty of leadership in China uncertainty about the election US and uncertainty with the German Central Bank is gonna do -- that are Sandra.
Until let's get stabilized at the people are going to be not naturally cautious.
What are you more worried about Europe -- the United States short term actually don't worry about.
Either one of them not much because -- don't we take a long term view not -- making capital investments this year for factors that come online in 1415 and sixteen.
So we we we use bad times bad economic times as a time to really accelerate early and we can move to new technology easier faster we can invent new things that are more receptive because the markets are ready to produce -- -- stuff.

Dental Clinic in Singapore
Finding a good dental clinic in Singapore can be a frustrating endeavour, you search high and low for one that provides good service and reasonable pricing and sometimes there are so many choices that you just can't seem to decide!
Well, look no further, because that's what this website is all about! We have done the search for you and found three very good clinics that are definitely worth your time checking out. Where are they you ask? They are featured in the article slider just below the navigation bar. If you are looking for a suitable dental clinic in Singapore, then you should really consider giving those three a call or by visiting their websites. Who knows? You might just find a good dental clinic you'll stick with for life.
In addition, this site will also be regularly updated with articles on various dental health topics, tips and tricks and so forth. Whether you're looking for a good dental clinic in Singapore or just browsing around, you'll definitely find plenty of good information here.
There are, of course, multiple factors to consider when searching for good dentist in Singapore. Some of these factors include pricing, service quality and location. You'd be surprised at how much dental services can cost. As a general rule of thumb, if you're looking for a simple general purpose service like scaling, the costs are pretty much lower. However, if you're looking at cosmetic dentistry or dental services that provide significant aesthetic value then you're definitely looking at a much higher price tag. Procedures like gum lifting or teeth whitening can cost a lot more than a general purpose dental service.
Location is also another big factor to consider when looking for a dentist. Most neighborhood centers have at least one dental service so if you don't feel like venturing to far out your home turf, have a look round your area. Of course, most heartland dental services may not provide some of the higher end cosmetic dental services so just keep that in mind.
Last but not least, we have the service quality of the dentist to consider. This is what makes a customer stay loyal for life. A good dentist knows how to make their patients feel comfortable and at ease. They're usually friendly and warm and won't scare the crap out of you by waving their sharp tools in your face. Another trait is time management, a good dental clinic respects their patients' time. You can usually tell by how long you have to wait and whether or not they stick to alloted appointment times. Also, check out the facilities and equipment the dentist has, if everything's looking old and rusty then you know you're in trouble.
Anyway, these are just a few suggestions to take into consideration when deciding on a dental clinic to go for. Remember to check out our top dental clinics in Singapore!
And if you're looking for more information or just expanding your dental knowledge, then feel free to check out out dental articles!
If you have a burning request, recommendation or suggestion on how to improve this site or any other related matter, please feel free to fill in the Contact Us form with whatever's on your mind. We'll be happy to hear what you have to say and make this website the best resource for finding a dental clinic in Singapore. So, here's to your teeth, may they be white and healthy!
