"출장시에 유용한 호텔"2013년01월30일, Hotels.com 고객 이용 후기
도랄지역으로 출장을 가면서 여러 호텔을 검색한 끝에 공항과 출장지에 가깝다는 이유로 이 호텔을 이용하게 되었습니다. 대략 일주일 가량 머물렀는데, 일단 직원들이 굉장히 친절하고 로비에 24시간 이용가능한 조그마한 스토어(?)가 있다는 점이 인상 깊었습니다. 관광을 목적으로 한다면 마이애미 해변까지 대략 택시로 30분 정도 소요되서 적합하지는 않을것 같고, 출장이 목적이라면 정말 좋습니다. 다만 택시를 매번 프런트에 부탁해야 한다는 점이 조금 불편하긴 합니다. 물론 택시 콜을 부탁하면 10분이내에 탑승은 가능합니다. 또한 호텔 바로 옆에 몰하고 주유소 편의점이 있어서 편리하게 이용가능합니다. 전반적으로 좋았고, 공항에도 가까워서 다음 출장시에도 이용할 생각입니다.

Then this hotel is great, you are close to all the action on south beach without having all the noise at night.

"Middle of Everything"
Service was horrible. The clerk was more interested in trying to pick up the woman checking in to the hotel before us. After about 10 minutes of standing in the line, with the female guests nearly checked in when I arrived, I was getting tired of hearing his pick up lines and the banter back and forth and while it was apparent I was getting tired of […] it, it didn't seem to matter to the clerk. Suprisingly, being a male, my process lasted less than five minutes. While I understand that everything is old in Miami, the decor seemed to be half-heartidly done and wasn't done well to keep up with the times. The beds need to be changed....I have a bad back and the sinking into the matress didn't help. As for the cleanliness, no complaints at all and it is a good location to walk to nearly everything. 더 보기검증된 Hotels.com 숙박객 이용 후기

There are no clocks in the room, nor a local clock in the lobby (weird right?!) so bring your own alarm clock or watch.

"Avid Miami Visitor here!"
I visit Miami at least once a year and every time I stay at a different hotel. I've stayed in lush, expensive hotels and some not so good ones as well. I will say that this is a perfect middle ground. The price was within our budget and the location is awesome! You will save hundreds of dollars just by staying one block west of Ocean Dr. The staff was […] extremely helpful even with our demanding group. The housekeeping was attentive and even helped dry our wet bathing suits. The hotel itself is a little older and the elevator is small but that is to be expected with any SoBe hotel since the city itself is old but the decor is very modern, sleek and bright. I will return to this hotel for sure. Outside of the super expensive hotels, this was the friendliest, and cleanest hotel and EVERYTHING we needed was within walking distance.

The Kent is located in the Art Deco area with that South Beach charm. The room and hotel are older and need a bit of updating. The rooms were clean but very basic.

"Convenient and Cheap..."
Overall, the Kent was exactly what I had pictured it would be from reading other reviews. Myself and my girlfriend booked the Kent for 1 night before we left for a cruise out of Miami. We had an early flight and arrived at 12:30 pm. The employees at the desk were very helpful and let us leave our bags in a locked closet until our room was ready at 4pm. […] We ended up getting a room around 3:30 which was room 110. When we arrived we were actually happy with how clean it felt and the bed was nice with clean sheets, nice floor, clean bathroom and such. I attempted to open the shades in the room and realized why they were closed. It was a horrible view of a dirty alley and buildings with a garbage truck that arrives pretty early. (Not the end of the world) The bathroom is small and water pressure was weak. When it came time to leave the desk staff called a cab for us and was waiting for us when we had to leave at check out. Overall, we felt safe, comfortable and staff was friendly and helpful to us who had never been to Miami. You get what you pay for and I would recommend to anyone staying overnight or for a quick, cheap getaway. It's a block from the beach with a lot of shopping and restaurants within walking distance. It's not the Hilton but it does the job. Two thumbs up. Would stay again. 더 보기검증된 Hotels.com 숙박객 이용 후기

"An okay relatively inexpensive place to stay"
It's a good choice for a place to stay in Miami Beach for a night or two - wouldn't recommend for much more than that. Was fairly clean - no issues with linens. There is no restaurant in this hotel which was a bit of a pain, but a few choices of where to eat nearby. This is a no-frills place and we got what we paid for.검증된 Expedia 이용 후기
"Great location. Eccentric staff."
You can't beat the location, although plan to spend 30-45 minutes on Collins Ave. if you are driving at any time other than the morning. The rooms were clean. The whole ambience is from the 50s or 60s, but acceptable. The narrow hallways and plain doors reminded me of a college dorm. No views at all, but that didn't matter because you are in the middle […] of everything once you step outside. It took a long time to check in. The staff is very friendly and a touch eccentric (you almost feel more like you are in a nightclub than a hotel--but that isn't meant as a complaint), but they use very old equipment (who uses a credit card imprint machine anymore?) and seemed to have trouble with it. I would stay again. 더 보기검증된 Hotels.com 숙박객 이용 후기

I believe in being positive, so I will just say that due to the fact that it was New Years and all the other hotels were booked, I was grateful that I had a place to stay.

"Kent not as good as it used to be"
Our stay at the Kent this year was disappointing. It was much better about five or so years ago when we were last there. Back then, we had a cool room with mellow music playing when we entered our room, and the lobby had some amenities (I seem to recall a bakery or some other kind of food counter). Now, the place seems rather stripped down. The room […] was freshly painted in a light color, which was better than the purple I seem to recall, but half of the lobby was blocked off with nothing there except for a PC that didn't work. I thought there was at least a a tatami mat under the bed last time, where now the floors are completely bare. The bathroom is completely unfunctional as there is no space for any toiletries -- not even for soap or shampoo in the shower! The front desk clerks at both check-in and check-out worked from a chair rather than rising to greet the guests, which seemed a little rude. The place has lost its mojo and cool SoBe vibe. It was New Year's Eve, so we expected some noise, but the place overall was loud enough that it felt more like a hostel or dorm than a hotel. On the plus side, the location is fantastic and the price was right. Next time in SoBe, we may pay a little more to go a bit more upscale. 더 보기검증된 Hotels.com 숙박객 이용 후기

"Nice looking hotel, not so good staff"
When we arrived the valet was extremely nice. Once we checked in the hotel couldn't find out reservation. After about 10 minutes they did, but sent us to the wrong room, it wasn't even clean yet. So they sent us to a different floor, we had a lot of luggage and elevators are small so we could only fit two people at a time. The room was clean, spacious […] and very accommodating. Room service takes a little while to bring the food and it was decent. When we checked out, they couldn't find my car and we waited an extra 45 minutes.

[mod: split from this thread: http://experienced-people.net/forums...-are-NOT-dead]
I wish the real business world were like the idealised oversimplistic version people are fond of pretending exists here.
Are transport businesses "idiots" to rely on having diesel to put in their trucks?
Are ecommerce businesses "idiots" to rely on a merchant banking facilities?
Are service businesses idiots to expect their staff to come in next week?
Are retail businesses idiots to hope that the road outside their shop does not get closed, rerouted or double yellow lines? or bypassed on the whim of a transport policy?
And so on...
The reality is all businesses have finite margins, and in the "valuable economy" that is the economy that makes things, digs things out of the ground, builds things, grows things or takes things to where they are used , the margins are generally not high 10-20% max. It is the parasites on that economy who make most of the money with far less capital and risk.
That finite margin has to subsume all the business sensitivities and risks. All are hitting together. Cost base increases, people and things, loss of sales due to recession in europe (25% in spain!!) , increase of distribution costs, increases by all the parasites like banks, governments . accountants and all the rest.
When the cost base jumps by 10% on fuel because of speculators in banks who can no longer mess with property derivatives. Government hikes taxes. The cost of goods increases, recession bites, between them pull margins down to nothing. Then even if your traffic component is only 20% directly from search (hardly total reliance)
Then matt cutts getting bored so tweaking a few things can send the business underwater. No one thing of course, but one that is plenty enough to kill in combination.
The reality is all businesses rely on the rate of change being slow enough to allow them to adapt. With google change is too violent. They are the present custodians of search based traffic, soon to be replaced I hope.
Not a subject for this thread, but I think a world economic meltdown , starting with greece and spain and the bankrupt US catalonia and a county in alabama are already bankrupt!! causing this time an unstoppable domino effect in banks, is not just possible , it is actuallly probable, if not inevitable now Are businesses "idiots" to hope , expect and need that the world does not go into economic decline?
I have run a lot of businesses. I only ever had to close one. I had a consultancy / system integrator that won the respect of almost every big blue chip in the north of england, and many souther companies too. Our client base was a "who is who" of British industry. Then in 1992 literally ALL the corporate cheque books closed except for essential maintenance work. Did that make us "idiots"? - noone has seen the like of it either before or since. The fact is all business "rely" on a lot of things to continue at some level.
Businesses only have a finite number of sources to get work. And finite margin. They can hedge their bets between a few, but ultimately they rely on some of the chickens coming home to roost. That does not make them idiots. That just means they live in real world.
I am out of that now. I just do what I do from home, with no employees or overheads so i can survive indefinitely. Not so the valuable economy.
It is pretty galling when despite the real risks of real business the likes of google can trash these struggling businesses for no apparent advantage, to make something different not better. And then they make the crass remarks "it only affects 10% of sites"...as if that were a good thing

Have you ever read shonen battle manga and wonder why do battles drag on and on for ages? Have you thought about why there is so much talking during battles as well? More importantly, why are shonen heroes so intent on training hard? There's one manga series that asks these same questions while providing a solution in the most average way possible.
Look out, world, because here comes Onepunch-Man. This extremely wacky webcomic series by ONE and Yusuke Murata (of Eyeshield 21 fame) takes a look at the absurdity of shonen battle manga. It gives us an unappealing superhero who kills everything with one punch and has no desire to help people. Onepunch-Man also greatly questions how motivated can a person be after they achieve their goals.

Support for CV in non-keyword IPTC fields?
April 18, 2009, 11:57:14 AM »
For example I use a hierarchical structure for location in my keyword vocabulary (as I'm sure a lot of you do).
I totally acknowledge the benefits of using the IPTC location fields as well as/instead of keywords. BUT with the software I am using (Bridge/LR2) I cannot associate a CV with the IPTC location fields so it is a pain to maintain these compared to the keywords (one click assigns everthing vs manually entering everything with the risks of typo's etc).
So do any of the other tools out there support integrated CV's or even just an editable CV for IPTC data?
PS: I know I am hoping against hope here since even the IPTC controlled vocabs for Scene and so on are not implemented anywhere as far as I can see.

You don't have iView or Expression Media, do you? Most fields, including locations can have text files supplying the vocabulary. You also have drag and drop to location nodes.
Within LR, one of my few uses for the filter panel is getting rid of typos or inconsistent locations. I've a preset (could be a built in one) with the 4 location fields. So I can see at a glance that under England / Hertfordshire / I have both Bovingdon and Bovington.

I'm trying to get some understanding of the difference between using the IPTC fields for all my metadata (keywords, people etc. including the usual copyright, location) and using keywords as they appear in the Bridge keyword or EM2 keywords panel in the Organize section. Peter has mentioned that he uses the IPTC fields and foregoes keywording, choosing to put the information where it belongs. Others use extensive keywords, do they forego using the IPTC fields? When keywords are placed in the IPTC field, they don't automatically appear in the keyword Bridge or EM2 lists. One has to add them manually and assign them. Using both systems seems like work duplication. Can anyone supply some information and guidance concerning this issue.

The issues here really have to do with the implementation done by each program.
For instance, I know a lot of people who use keywords for location in Lightroom because Lightroom has such a poor implementation of the location fields. (No "drag to" capability, for instance).
I would not suggest using Bridge as your main asset manager. This deficiency is only one of the many you'll have to get used to if Bridge is your main window on your collection.
It all has to do with the programs you're using.

I sort of agree Peter,
But what I generally do is START my workflow in Bridge as part of my ingestion process. That is where I rename, apply bulk metadata and bulk keywords, do preliminary culling and rating, apply overall and sometimes sub-group RAW adjustments including preliminary color balance and pre-sharpening.
THEN I archive the remaining raw files, convert to dng and import those into my catalog (I use LR).
So really I want my file browser and my library to use the same CV's, ratings, categories etc...ideally for keywords, locations etc. In particular a proper CV for the locations would be great. I do not want to use my library for the preliminaries...and I don't want to use my browser as a library. Both seem to try to hard to do both.
As things stand the only sharable CV I have is keywords so after much playing around a few months ago I now just live with my location data in keywords. At least that gives me an integrated workflow (a long as I keep the Bridge/LR keywords synchronized).
I am very surprised Adobe hasn't done a better job of this for us. After all one of the primary advantages of a suite is supposed to be cleaner integration.

Well, Lightroom is not part of the suite...
If you think that's hard to understand, how about the fact that negative ratings in Bridge and LR don't share the same keystrokes, and Bridge uses an XMP tag of -1, while LR does not even write the tag to metadata?
Yes, there needs to be better coordination between the teams.
But it kind of comes with the territory. The Lightroom project was a "startup inside a big company" experiment that worked really well. There are some glitches in these early versions, but they got more right than wrong (including some really tough stuff under the hood).
I like the locations readout idea in Bridge. I'll check on that.

Hehe...and that is the excuse Microsoft has refused to sette for SO well with their toolsets. Although it has to be said it takes them a while to assimilate new acquisitions into the collective! :-) If it wasn't for PS and Bridge being the lead I would probably switch from LR to EM...I am tempted.
I occasionally look back to the old days with WordPefect, Lotus 123, Harvard Graphics, dBaseII and so on (or even earlier, I am sad to say I remember VisiCalc quite well:-)). Our expectations have come a long way largely due to those boring old fast followers like MS! You want to find fault...but they do keep setting the bar quite high don't they?:-/

There are some good reasons that LR is not part of the suite, having to do with securities law and the ability to update software mid-cycle. As mature products, that is less attractive for programs like PS and InDesign.
Nothing is as simple as it seems.

Hi Peter,
Hmmm...you are a very generous man Peter. Having worked in the commercial software business I can only make two observations:
While you are absolutely correct that there are legal and logistical issues surrounding releasing aything as part of an official "suite"...
...that in no way prevents development groups communicating to implement common features, even sharing code modules.
The former is a marketing/product management choice; the latter is a development choice. They are not mutually exclusive.
And I understand creating products by flying just under the radar...I've been on teams that have done it. But once it is out of the barn that changes. And while you are building you can do so planning for the fact that one day it WILL be out of the barn. If it never makes it out then it doesn't matter anyway. And "borrowing" modules from other teams is actually a great way to build these products since they are always under funded/resourced...you don't fly under the radar without that!:-)
So I admit that I am a little less sympathetic. Sorry.

It's probably that I have made a certain amount of peace with the difficulties, partially because I see it happen in real time. (That does not mean that I did not call them out once it happened.) Also you need to remember that Bridge has a lot of constituents. Photoshop users are one part, but not the majority (Flash, InDesign, Premier, etc).
I'd also say that LR2 seems more like it was developed like a 1.x product than a 2.x product. If you look at the public beta database structure, and look at the release version, you'll see a significant restructuring. This should not happen in mature 2.x products.
Still, compare it to the other competitors (Bibble is more than a year late, Aperture is a niche product, others?) and they've done a good job, despite the failings.
Also consider that once you really tie in with legacy/suite support with Photoshop, you inherit a huge overhead of compatibility and other rules that will slow down development. Lightroom started as a product that would make a clean start - at the time it was not even clear that it would be focused on digital cameras, since they were not so common then. The ability to adapt, and even throw everything over the side, has benefitted the user.
You also may not appreciate the engineering that has gone into the hardest problem of compatibility - forward, backward and sideways compatibility issues in a parametric image editing environment. They have come up with some really smart solutions for making this work that no one else is even attempting. The use of Opcodes in the latest DNG spec, as well as the DNG profile editor and the way that is handled are orders of magnitude above what anyone else is doing - there simply is no comparison.
Adobe is an imaging company first, and they've done a great job on the imaging part (including the compatibility issues outlined above). Now they need to take LR in a direction that deals with all the rest of the DAM issues. I'm convinced they know that, even if it has not been the company's strong suit, historically.
So... CV incompatibility - I'm okay with that. Ratings incompatibility - not okay with that.

Hi Peter,
Oh yes, I do realize there are a lot of challenges, and of course I do still choose to use LR2 over the others...for now anyway.
I also agree on your incompatibility priorities...if only because I am using keywords for location right now and I've made my peace with it.
Only managing ONE CV has it's benefits too!:-)
And being a dyed-in-the-wool database geek I acknowledge that a LOT of creative solutions in many domains s*#$w up their databases and need multiple goes to get it right. That includes a couple of my former employers! There is stuff out there I was involved in but am not exactly proud of what is under the hood! :-/ Rules Pragmatism KO (it's close enough...you know what I mean;-))

Women's basketball: Baylor back at No. 1 in AP poll
Associated Press
Baylor has regained the No. 1 spot in The Associated Press women's basketball poll.
Coach Kim Mulkey's team received 32 first-place votes Monday, two days after then-No. 1 Connecticut lost to Notre Dame. The Lady Bears were the top choice in the preseason and had a run of 21 straight weeks atop the poll end with a neutral site loss to Stanford in November.
Notre Dame jumped up three spots to No. 2 after its one-point victory over UConn. The Huskies fell to third. Duke, the only unbeaten team left in Division I, was fourth and Stanford fifth.
The Cardinal are followed by Kentucky, California, Penn State, Tennessee and Maryland.
Oklahoma State had the biggest drop, falling eight spots to No. 21 after losing twice this week, including to Baylor.
Miami and Iowa State entered the Top 25 at 24th and 25th, while Nebraska and Arkansas fell out.

Benton County Working to Improve Voting Process
By: Marissa Stevens
Updated: December 6, 2012
The Benton County Election Commission presented several ideas to help solve their voting process problems.
"They were going to be looking at perhaps going back to a paper ballot county, looking at the different machines that would count paper ballots," said Benton County Clerk Tena O'Brien.
The Quorum Court listened to several recommendations to improve the voting process, including the possibility of increasing the number of precincts. O'Brien also believes the size of polling places are a problem across the county.
"That is an area I feel needs to be looked at by the commissioners is the number of registered voters in those precincts and the accommodations that are available."
With additional precincts comes the need for more staffing, but O'Brien thinks emphasizing early voting will ease the influx on Election Day.
"It doesn't matter if you've changed your address, changed your name, it's a situation that can be taken care of and you can vote. That is a process on Election day that tends to cause a bottleneck."
Even with several suggestions to help the voting process run smoothly, final decisions are largely based on the bottom line.
"The Quorum Court needs financial figures in order to make a sound decision for the county."
Although there is no definite timeline for approving suggestions made by the Benton County Election Commission, O'Brien said the goal is to improve the voting process by the 2014 election.

On The Road with DC
Video pal Dave Christenson is out on the road again with Apolis This time their wild and crazy adventures have taken them to Vietnam. Where it looks like in-between video takes Mr. Christenson has been riding his Rapha-Condor road bike in new and beautiful country.
Words and Photos by Dave Christenson
It was overcast with light rain as I made my way down the two lane coastal road. I came into a port full of parked fishing boats, their crews on break from a long night of fishing, a beautiful sight indeed with all the brightly colored boats all amassed together.
The road hugged the coast and was almost devoid of any traffic whatsoever, the occasional scooter from time to time. It was absolutely serene and the temperature was perfect, and at times while descending even a bit chilly. The road rolled along and there was the occasional hill as well as two decent climbs but nothing too major. There was a small village about every 15km or so which made it was easy to find food and water, so no need to carry jersey pockets full of food.
Nearly every person I saw waved to me and said "hallo" so I was riding with one hand most of the time because the least I could do is wave back and smile, probably not too many guys on road bikes out their way often.
At about kilometer 100 I could smell the ocean air so when I saw a dirt road that cut into the sand dunes I took it not really knowing what I would find. After about 3km I could see a small village built entirely in the sand dunes and I headed there to explore and see what I could find. When I finally made it there I found out the name of the town was Chi Cong. It was an awesome little town with narrow streets and walkways, some no bigger than those in Venice, Italy.
As I made my way back I came upon a super steep but short climb. A climb so steep that either side of the narrow road had stairs for people on foot to go up and down, if I had to guess it was probably around 23% gradient. It was an absolute leg burner and I hadn't ridden anything like it since the last time I rode in Belgium on sections of the route of the Tour of Flanders. I had to ride it 4 times to get the timing right for the self timer on the camera. Each time just hoping that I'd get it right so I didn't have to do it again.
After looking at the time I decided I had to hammer it on the way back so that I'd beat the darkness and possibly get a swim in when I got back to my hotel. So I was off with the bit between my teeth chasing the sun at 43km an hour (27 miles an hour).
At about kilometer 160 I realized that I had missed my turn and made my way back to find that I'd overshot it by about 15km. As I made my way back darkness closed in and the road was completely empty and all I had were the lights of the same fishing boats I'd seen earlier in the day off in the distance to keep me company.
There is just something very special and fulfilling about moving over the countryside under your own power. That coupled with exploring new countries and new rides make it one of the reasons I never leave home without my bike.
A couple of recommendations for traveling to Vietnam with your bike:
Bring extra parts: brake pads, cables and cable housings, tubes and the ever important chain oil, especially when riding on the coast with all the sand. I forgot to bring some and after a while my chain was sounding like the Minsk so I had to stop and ask at a scooter shop. All they had was some motor oil so on the chain it went. Probably not the best stuff for the chain but it did the job. Parts and things of that nature are impossible to find in this area.
Ride Stats:
Total ride distance: 215km (134 miles) -ride time: 7 hours 45 minutes (exploring, food stops and getting lost included) -average speed: 33km an hour (21 miles an hour) -max speed reached: 74km an hour (46 miles an hour)

Amid storm, man killed on I-78 near Allentown
ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania State Police say a man checking on a disabled vehicle on Interstate 78 near Allentown was struck and killed during last night's winter storm.
Police say the man had pulled over and was checking on the car at about 9:45 p.m. when he was hit by an out-of-control vehicle in South Whitehall Township.
The Express-Times of Easton (http://bit.ly/UaNgRT) reports that the victim's name is not yet being released.
At least nine other deaths have been reported from the storm nationwide.
Meanwhile, police say another crash on I-78 in Pennsylvania left the cab of a jackknifed tractor-trailer hanging off a highway bridge.
Police say 30-year-old truck driver Vincent Wilder of Philadelphia suffered moderate injuries when he was struck at about 3 p.m. in Bethlehem.
Authorities believe he had swerved to avoid another crash.
