Best of Toronto
The Best Wine Bars in Toronto
The best wine bars in Toronto are, increasingly, living up to their name. For so many years, this city was short on places that made good on this designation. For the record, a wine bar should be 1) a bar and 2) the type of place that focuses its energy on offering an interesting selection of by-the-glass options. While Toronto has generally had a good supply of establishments that covered the latter of these two criteria, it's only in the last couple years that we've seen the rise of wine-first watering holes.
All of this sounds rather nit-picky, of course. Why get so caught up in names? Well, really, because it's nice to have places to drink wine that aren't stuck up and snobby. Wine is booze, too! So having the option to indulge in some interesting stuff without the pressure to order an expensive meal is just a good thing for us pretentious types without the wallets to support our egos. As for the places on this list that are still food-focused, well, you're nice too. But it's about time that the city had a bit of both. And now we do.
Here are the best wine bars in Toronto.
A deserving winner of the top stop, in the year that Midfield has been open, it's proven itself the city's most authentic wine bar with a constant rotation of interesting wines and an inclusive philosophy that pleases both seasoned oenophiles and those who've just taken an interest in the nature of their grape juice. The dark, wood-heavy room is appropriately warm, anything but fussy, and thus an ideal environment to throw a few back. A new tapas-style menu has opened up pairing possibilities without turning the place into a restaurant. Well done. More »
A Financial District staple, Reds underwent a major overhaul last year and has come out as a more relaxed place for an after work drink. The new interior is less formal with plenty of wood and not a white tablecloth in sight. Chef Ryan Gallagher has crafted a more rustic menu than what was on offer before, which pairs up well with the new vibe. What has stayed the same? Well, the wine. With 77 wines available by the glass, Reds remains one of the best places to discover new varietals and regions. More »
Skin and Bones
Skin + Bones opened up late last year in Leslieville, quickly becoming one of the best east side destinations for wine drinkers. The cavernous space is the very antithesis of cluttered, and while there's a strong focus on food, it's still very much a place where one can feel comfortable having a few glasses without the need to have a full meal. It's not the longest list out there, but each of the 40 some odd wines on offer are available by the glass. More »
A new addition to Dundas West, Archive gets the true ethos of the wine bar - there's no need for anything more than small plates of food if you're not trying to be a restaurant. The wine list sets itself apart by focusing on Ontario offerings (though not exclusively), the vast majority of which you won't see in the LCBO (try the stuff from 13th Street - delicious). A mostly quiet place to bring a date during the early part of the week, the action picks up with DJs and a more lively crowd on the weekends. More »
Crush is more of a restaurant than a wine bar, but boy do they ever offer one hell of a selection of wine. As such, you'll still see plenty of people who work around King West flocking to the long bar after work to try out any one of the over 70 by-the-glass options. The food menu isn't exactly adventurous, but you'll find that it's expertly prepared and that staff are well trained to offer pairing suggestions. More »
The Wine Bar
Formerly Jamie Kennedy's Wine Bar, the rebranded version sticks to a number of principles espoused by the old tenant. The menu of small plates leans heavily on local ingredients and is designed to offer plenty of pairing options. Wine-wise, the roughly 25 bottle list makes everything available by the glass and features plenty of options that won't break the bank. More »

I'd maybe add 'swirl' if only for the novelty/comfort factor.
also.. Paesse is doing some really interesting things but can be inconsistent

One of the interesting things before the Attitude Era is how you had the ugly brown outfit and Steve Austin was originally the Ring Master and The Rock had his poofy hair, but you guys all went out and changed your fortunes based on letting more of your real personalities out. If you guys didn't take the ball and run, would we have even seen an Attitude Era?
I think you're on to something here. And this is not a knock on The Rock and Stone Cold, because Mankind was featured pretty prominently, even in brown. But I still had to tweak some things, but Stone Cold and The Rock, they were literally at dead ends. I don't know how close The Rock came to being released, but I believe it had to be close. But they reinvented themselves by becoming extensions of themselves rather than just being a one-dimensional character. The guy you saw when Rocky Maivia came out with the hair and all smiles, that's not who he was. Turn the volume all the way up on who he is, and he becomes The Rock. Just like if you're reading this and you don't think my personality is interesting enough to be featured in a video game, but if you turn the volume all the way up, it was just an extension of ourselves.
Do you think the WWE performers today have that same ability, to go out there and try to make it by being extensions of who they are in real life?
I think you can always learn lessons by the guys who came before you. Guys in the current product, and I love the current product, but they have to be a little bit more imaginative because they can't go to such physical and verbal extremes like we did. But I think there was always a lot of pressure, and that's pressure in a good way, for us to come up with our own characters and our own verbiage, and we sank or swam depending on how good our own stuff was. You're seeing guys who are doing this today in CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. A few years ago, did you think that these guys would be the face of WWE? These are amazing characters, and they're extensions of themselves, so I think some of the guys are seeing what we did in the Attitude Era, they're adapting, and they're making it work for them.
Who would've thought Kane and Daniel Bryan would be the most entertaining part of every show?
Man, I know, and I'm so happy for them. Kane had been talking to me about how he's been there since 1996 and he's had a 16-year run and how he's a bit banged up from years of his big, physical style. He told me that he needed to find a way to tweak the character a little bit, and when I saw him a few weeks ago I told him, "You are my hero." He laughed and said, "No, I've become you!" Here's a guy who realized he could no longer do the stuff he was known for back in the Attitude Era, so he brought some levity and laughs to the character. The anger management skit where he broke down his entire career was brilliant. I sent out a tweet right after I saw it saying, "This is why I love this stuff." It brought me right back to some of the humor we loved to do back in the Attitude Era.
Now you're back on TV and you gave an awesome promo against CM Punk. What was it like being in the ring with Punk?

Of course, it's not that I want to make a habit of delivering my match reports two minutes before the next game, but like two weeks ago my customers all conspired to ensure I had no chance to write a word until the end of the week. I'd been getting phone calls and e-mails and translations and requests for estimates without as much as a break to have a ***t. Just because I have a lot of work it doesn't mean I'm rich or important, but I am intending to invest in this 'future fund', even if the new stadium does not bear my name.
Anyway, although it's been a busy few weeks I took time to look at the teams as they came out. The popular wisdom is that now Fekete has left for more lucrative fields, Saalfelden has become a toothless tiger; which is a nice theory – somewhat supported by their slump over the last few weeks, but bearing in mind we lost the away game with both their top strikers missing there was no reason on our part to get cocky. So when QPR Harry was taking bets for his sweepstakes I p++++d on his fire by choosing the score I considered to be most likely. 2-1 for the Austria. For a €2 stake I was expecting to be able to buy the club with my winnings.
On our side Peter Urbanek started the game on the bench with Raphael Reifeltshammer moving into the starting formation. Maybe Urbanek got a bollocking for going up front too often like Lucio did at Bayern Munich – I don't know. Didn't do us any harm though as in the first quarter of an hour Austria dominated the game and it was obvious Saalfelden were defending a lead they didn't have and waiting for that one chance. With Mayer seemingly further out on the wing the midfield looked better balanced than of late and we had Saalfelden chasing the game in the opening period. On 18 minutes this dominance translated into a lead as Winkler converted after a series of passes that demoted most of the Saalfelden team to spectators. 1-0 and we were feeling a bit more important again.
And of course, I wouldn't lie – having spent the whole week on the phone and in front of the computer I couldn't really expect to have any peace on Saturday afternoon. First call was from Flavio Briatore to ask me if I knew where Naomi Campbell was. He'd heard she was in Austria, but I told him I couldn't speak because it was too loud and I was at an Austria Salzburg football match. Sorry Flavio. Anyway, on 31 minutes I witnessed the first free kick in the recent history of Austria Salzburg to be absolutely superbly executed. Step-over – pass – step-over – diagonal pass – Berndt Winkler – bang 2-0. Brilliant stuff. Like they'd practised it!
Buzz – buzz. 'Hi Flavio, what's up?'. Flavio said he was unhappy in London and thinking of selling QPR and investing in a European club. 'Sorry Flav, it's too loud. We've just scored again. I'll call you later' (I lied). With the score at 2-0 at the break it was time for the next beer when the phone went again. 'It's Bernie'.
Bernie who?
'Bernie Ecclestone'.
Like I cared. Bernie wanted to know if we had any good defenders, and I couldn't lie.
'Yes, Bernie, we do; but I don't think you can afford them.
Bernie asked me who I could do. I said I'm not his agent or anything but Mario Milic is the most valuable player we have at the moment. Bernie wanted to know how much Mario Milic would cost and I put the phone down on him and hoped I would get some peace for the next 45 minutes.
No chance! No sooner had the line gone dead - the next SMS is on the way. It's Naomi Campbell asking for Mario Milic's telephone number. Somehow I figure Bernie must be trying to get at Flavio. I don't give her it because it would break Lubo's heart. She's not good for him. She only got together with Lubo after she heard that Christiano Ronaldo wasn't available. I don't trust Naomi, she'll make Lubo depressed, which is bad for Austria Salzburg – and Mario is such a teddy bear Naomi would eat him for breakfast and s**t out the bones. Somehow it's been one of those weeks.
Fortunately, there were no more calls until an SMS buzzed in after 15 minutes of the second half. Bad news. It's Thaksin Shinawatra, the Thai bloke who bought and sold man City and is now stuck in the middle of extreme political turmoil in Thailand. Just as I finish reading the message, Rudolf Schoder pulls one back for Saalfelden on 59 minutes. I knew it would be bad news. 2-1. I guess Thaksi was looking to buy Austria Salzburg. Over there they have lots of political movements but none of them wear purple so I texted back with a 'NO'.
He must have been talking to Sven Göran Erikson recently because as soon as Helmut Rottensteiner came on for Lubo Neubauer on 62 minutes the mobile rang again and Sven's name lights up:
'Yo Sven – what's happening?' I say.
'Is it true that Naomi is going out with Lubo?', he wants to know.
'What's this information worth, Sven?'
Apparently somebody called QPR Harry had called from Salzburg to get Naomi's telephone number from Sven but I found it all a bit tasteless, so I gave Sven Susan Boyle's number instead. I met Susan at the after show party for 'Britain's got Talent', but I would rather not explain how I got her phone number. Anyway, 12 minutes later Mario Schleindl is on for Zarko Cavic and QPR Harry gets an SMS from Sven Göran Erikson and is feeling all important and grinning like a dancing bear because he's meeting a special British girl tonight. I tell him to say 'Susi' when she calls – all British girls want to be called Susi. I guess he's hoping for a result on the sweepstake but unfortunately for Harry there were no more goals.
Full time, 2-1 and QPR Harry is avoiding eye-contact with everybody who tipped 2-1 for the Austria. I work out that my winnings must be about €150,000 but Harry says I have only won €6. I don't argue as I can't do maths but I have the feeling something has gone wrong. Harry is looking nervously at his mobile like he's waiting for some supermodel to call, but then he cheers up as 'Susi' rings him and agrees to meet him on the balcony of the Chinese next to the ground. However, watching from the balcony Harry looks somewhat confused as I kiss Naomi Campbell on both cheeks as I leave the stadium. She's been waiting for me for the last half hour, so I introduce myself as Mario Milic.

We built one of our first strawbale designs in the town of Napa, less than ten miles from the epicenter of last week's earthquake, which devastated dozens of buildings nearby. Since then we've built five other buildings within this quake zone, in Sonoma, Kenwood, Calistoga, Yountville and Rutherford, and reports are that they all came through well.
Strawbale, because of its stability and ductility, is a natural material to use in earthquake country--bales will absorb a lot of energy without breaking. Our first serious research into the seismic properties of bales came when designing the Studio in Joshua Tree for Lou Harrison.
Working with Tipping + Mar Associates, we conducted tests of a bale wall assembly that showed great potential for strength and safety at low cost. The principles of that system were very quickly adapted by Kelly Lerner for a school in China, and, after the devastating earthquakes in Pakistan, were adapted to those conditions by Darcey Donovan, and are being taught and built there by PAKSBAB, which stands for the Pakistan Straw Bale and Appropriante Building.
This dramatic video of shake table testing at the University of Nevada puts a bale building through very high seismic loads, and shows the enormous energy of a typical large quake:
We are pleased that our work here on beautiful homes in California has contributed to the safety of thousands who live in dangerous seismic areas around the globe.
Home in Sonoma, 20 miles from the epicenter::
"Yay Strawbale! Dear John, I'm pleased to report that our house survived the earthquake with almost no damage. Thank you!

If his past few movies are anything to go by, then Matthew McConaughey is surely going through a renaissance period of sorts. If 'Killer Joe' showed what he could do with a chicken drumstick amongst many other things and 'Magic Mike' displayed other talents then 'Mud' raises the notch a bit higher and shows his capability as man-child of sorts emotionally yet capable of some pretty horrible things. There is an underlying coming of age tale, which despite seemingly focusing on the two young protagonists also colours McConaughey's journey through the movie. Beyond the usual plot, it is this theme that endeared the movie to me above everything else and made it a worthy watch.
Ellis (Tye Sheriden) and Neckbone (Jacob Lofland) are the best of friends often spending their free time taking "expeditions" on a tributary of the Mississippi as well as the mighty river itself. Their days are carefree but things change when one day, they come upon an old boat boat lodged high in a tree. Hoping to claim their find the boys are disappointed to learn that the treehouse boat is currently inhabited, by a scruffy and muck covered man who introduces himself to the boys as Mud. He's friendly and tells them he's waiting on the island for someone, a lost love, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon). He even offers to let them stay in his boat If they'll bring him food. While the boys agree, it's Ellis, who finds a true calling of sorts when offered a chance to bring together two people in "true love". Neckbone on the other hand is just along for the ride, while this is Ellis's personal crusade. The hitch however is that Mud is a runaway and wanted by the law for murder.
The movie's leisurely pace that unravels slowly reveals multiple facets of Ellis's journey more so than any other character. It is Ellis that is the most invested in Mud's endeavour and how his interactions with the others reflect his changed perspective are perhaps the most heartfelt moments in the film. The romanticism he holds as a young boy, enamoured by people and things around him is the reason he's forced to act upon them after his interactions with Mud and the heartbreak he endures feels so real that you understand the difference between Ellis and Neckbone's journey and growth at the end of the film.
The movie's writing and languid pacing combine effectively with the wonderful performances to provide some truly bittersweet moments. Don't miss this one.

Sokoto — Due to its projected economic potentials, Sokoto State embarked on ambitious N2.5 billion cattle breeding projects. But two years after signing the project's contract, it is yet to leave the drawing board.
Sokoto State, in the face of its huge potentials as well as suitability for livestock rearing, took a giant step in agriculture.Two years ago, the state government signed over N2bilion contract with an Argentine firm, South American Breeding Technologies, SABT for the establishment of a cattle breeding, milk and beef production project in the state.
Based on the agreement, SABT was to train and bring revolutionary change in agriculture, genetic procedure, meat processing and milking machines, President of SABT, Horacio Michelini had confirmed at the signing of the agreement.
The main components of the project were to include a cattle reproduction and the agricultural constituents.
The cattle reproduction component was proposed to involve the technological aspects of artificial insemination, embryo transplant and laboratories for research while the agricultural component was to handle the production of feed and the clusters -existing breeding farms, will form the model operational units.
Explaining the rationale behind the project, Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko had noted that though Sokoto is endowed with numerous resources, one of the major problems faced by the state was the technical know-how to exploit this resource base in other to obtain maximum benefits for the people.
He also expressed concern that combined efforts with sister states with similar endowments have failed to adequately meet the animal protein needs of the people as recommended by World Health Organization.
The Sokoto government Artificial Insemination programme had a target of inseminating 30,000 cows annually and it is expected to rouse the dairy industry in the state.
However, since the signing of the agreement and some down payments, nothing was been heard about the project which has prompted many to ask about the proposed cattle breeding, milk and beef production project in the state.
But Commissioner for Agriculture, Sokoto Dr. Jabbi Kilgori, told Weekly Trust that the project is still on. "In fact, they (the foreign partners) just came about a week ago and they are now working because there was some conditions; you know when you are importing live cattle, you have to go through the quarantine system; you have to get clearance from the pre-shipping agent to prepare document, to fill form 'm', get all the document processed before they transfer the money to them, then they would be able to ship the equipment because it has an agriculture chapter ,it also has a breeding chapter .
The agricultural chapter is supposed to provide equipment for irrigation, land preparation, seeding and other things, while the breeding chapter is supposed to come with a lot of equipments for breeding particularly artificial insemination and embryo transfer.
That has been one of the delays we experience, we have to do a lot of work on the quarantine. If you are bringing cattle, they have to go through quarantine where they are originating and they have to be certified here before they are shipped, also all the equipment we are shipping, they have to go through several processes which we are working through various agents of custom but very soon, we hope within the next one or two months that project will take shape."
He added: "we are hoping before the year runs out, it will really take shape. All the bottlenecks have now been cleared. The partners even sent us message yesterday that they are getting prepared to package and to ship the equipments and we have already engaged transport agent to immediately bring the equipment in."
Dr. Kilgori sheds more light on the project. "We are bringing about 500 herds of cattle, including pregnant cow. We are also expecting about 5,000 embryos, there is going to be embryo transfer, there will also be some dozes of semen coming from the bull which will be planted into our local breeds to be able to produce high capacity cows.
It also involves the setting up of about 13 clusters. You know there are people who are already into cattle production, so we want to use them as centres where this technology can be promoted across the state so that those who have the idea of cattle husbandry and breeding will be empowered.
They will have cattle centre where they can have these live animals brought in pregnant cows, also they can mix them with their own local breed and take benefit of the embryos that are going to be implanted, also the semen.
Across the state we will have 13 locations where you will have this technology being promoted so that in the near future, we will be able to see that we transform our cattle because the local ones has the deficiency of inability to be able to produce adequate milk and as you know there is growing need for milk in the country."
He noted that 60 to70 percent of the milk consumed in Nigeria are imported. "So we have to beef up our local production to meet the growing demand and to also save us the foreign exchange which we invest in buying this milk.
That is the main objective; to really enhance this local breed to produce more milk and to have these exotic breeds coming in to produce more milk, more meat and more leather and other byproducts from the cattle and other things.
So that they will be enhance production because essentially this part of the country, cattle production is one of the major preoccupation. There is no house hold you go without finding one or two herds of cattle, that is why it is a culture that we need to promote to enhance income and wellbeing of the people."
He confirmed that the project cost is about N2.5billion, adding that much of this goes for procurement although there is a training component.
"There is also the training component. You know they have to take our people from here and train them there, show them how it is done there before they come here also. They will be here themselves for two years, set up everything, train our people, before they wind up," he elucidated.

palladium is prolly going to much more than that. nobody knows the
details for sure, but the gist of it is that it's a software/hardware
combination set of controls that will implement both system security and
"content maintenance" on future computers. afaik, it's a collaboration
between a number of companies including MS and intel.
"content maintenance" meaning copies of multimedia which violate
copyright laws.
i haven't heard about the filtering of linux web sites, but i wouldn't
put it past MS. honestly, i wouldn't be too upset about it though. the
time at which MS could do that sort of thing is too far gone in the
past. if you filter out apache servers on free open source platforms,
you've just filtered out most of the world including just about every
web search site in existence like google and yahoo.

UCLEAR HBC100 Boomless Helmet Communicator
Hey guys,
I would like to pop my head in here and introduce myself and my company.
My name is Andy and I work for BITwave USA. We are launching the UCLEAR HBC100 Bluetooth Helmet Communicator.
This is the industry's first Boomless microphone helmet communicator. This is a Bluetooth Helmet Communication system that cancels environment noise while picking up on your voice.
We are diligently working to build our brand and create some buzz around our HBC100 Helmet Communicator. We are a small company (but growing quickly) and we are going to rely on sites like the ADVrider forum for product feedback and reviews.
You can check out our website at:
or find us on Facebook
or on Amazon
If any one has any questions, feel free to contact my at firstname.lastname@example.com

More Info
I discovered your BT Intercom on the new products page at Revzilla.com. Good place to sell them if the product stands up to its claims. Anthony at Revzilla rated your system as 'adequate at hiway speeds'. Not outstanding, just 'adequate'. Adequate is a relative term when it comes to helmet noise vs speaker volume. Hearing 50% wind rush against 50% music or conversation is fatiguing at best, annoying and frustrating at worse.
I have earbuds that have dB limiters at 90dB, and on the hiway at 80mph they are overwhelmed by wind noise (Bell Star helmet). I ride a 2006 Honda Interceptor with a Givi touring windscreen, not a Honda Goldwing with 'boy in a bubble' sound capability. At 90dB music through my earbuds sounds more like an annoying swarm of mosquitos than it does music.
Now I like the idea of a boomless system as much as the next guy, but I also know that earbuds beat speakers anyday of the week when it comes to sound volume and quality. Your technology might cancel out extraneous noises internally, meaning they won't pick up or transmit noise other than the users voice, but the human ear does not do this, especially inside a motorcycle helmet which amplifies wind noise in the riders unplugged ears.
Speakers would have to practically be against the ears for optimal sound performance. That's just not the case when you have to adhere them away from the ears against the inner shell of a helmet. If someone tells me they can hear their music loud and clear while cruising on the hiway at 80-90mph from a set of speakers mounted against their helmet shell I know they're lying, or they're sitting inside a car!
Any system would have to be painful to the ear in order to overcome the air gap in the helmet. I know you tout auto volume leveling on this system as well, but then if it is using a safe decibel level for the human ear (90dB or less) it's also not going to be very loud at speeds on the hiway. I highly doubt I could hear my phone playing music through your system at your claimed 137-145mph, let alone 80-90mph.
I know all about white noise and blue noise cancellation technologies, but again how can you overcome the air gap noise generated (speaker to ear gap) inside the helmet? You use that technology in your microphone so that yes, they hear my voice and not the motorcycle, but the speakers DO NOT generate noise cancelling waveforms that would cancel wind noise reaching my ear! Not that that tech is not out there, it's just not available in miniature yet.... sort of. Bose and a few others make noise cancelling earbuds, and they sell for close to $200 all by themselves!
I've seen you start a conversation on another forum (Concours) for riders, and I have to agree with their assesment - If WebBikeWorld gives you a rave review, then I would be inclined to purchase your product. But I also know that BIT Tech puts out some cheap-o BT Intercoms made in China and sold on Ebay, so that really hurts your street cred, IMO.
The unit looks solid, the the tech is solid, but I think it would be suitable at city speeds at best. Music's not enjoyable to a true audiophile unless it's clean, clear, and unencumbered by extraneous noise sources. Bose is one example of headphone and earphone tech that accomplishes this, but in miniature in a comm system such as yours and all the others out there it is, again, not yet a reality. If it were your system would be about $500 or more, not $200, and you'd use earbuds, not speakers.
What are the speaker specs as far as input and output sensitivity, and min/max output volume in decibels? Keeping in mind that normal conversation levels are about 45dB, if it can't produce about 100+ decibels output then it's going to be battling ambient helmet noise trying to reach my ears at an acceptable playback volume on the hiway.
I'm not shelling out $200 to find out I am right, only to find out I can't return them once mounted on a helmet with either the sticky or velcro options.
What say you in response to these arguments?

Thank you for the very insightful and thought out comment. I appreciate your interest in our Helmet Communicator.
A couple of things, first BITwave is a high tech R&D company that does a lot of contract work for large organizations. UCLEAR is BITwave's consumer brand and the HBC100 Helmet Communicator is the first product to hit the consumer market.
You can buy the HBC100 on eBay new, however I would like to know where you found these "cheap-o BT Intercoms made in China" on eBay. You might have us confused with someone else.
Second, this is brand new technology and there's really nothing like it on the market. BITwave holds a number of patents on this audio communication technology. BITwave's audio technology was developed for the military to use in extreme noise environments on the battlefield.
The HBC100 uses Adaptive Beam Forming and Directional Microphone Array Technology which forms a virtual cone around the user's mouth and picks up on the user's voice. While the Adaptive noise suppression feature suppresses environment noise using multiple DSP based algorithms.
This technology eliminates the need for a boom-mic.
With that said, you can install the HBC100 on just about any helmet, 1/2 face, modular, or flip face helmets.
I suggest that you read the technology page at
The technical volume specs on our products are voice 97.7 dBs and music 97 dBs. Louder speaker have potential to harm the user's hearing. The speakers are Hi-Fi Stereo 20-20.000 Hz and with AVRCP and A2DP Bluetooth profiles, you get CD quality sound.
Your right, these don't cancel noise the noise that you hear. The noise that you experience when your riding depends on personal conditions, ie your helmet, your bike, highway noise, ect. I also understand a lot of people wear ear plugs, I know I have from time to time.
The speakers typically are installed in the speaker pockets in your helmet, similar to other helmet communicators.
I understand this is new technology and a new product so I understand your reservations. We are working to garner street cred and proper reviews. :)
Keep the questions rolling

Well, I'm sorry to say that I've taken my units back to Maxxim Honda in Allen, TX - great group of guys to work with.
I have to say, that I probably have not given this a fair shake. But, there were additional issues not previously mentioned... I wear hearing aids. I only mention that because these units when that close to my ears caused my aids to squeal which in turn was fed to my wife through the intercom. The fact that she could hear it and it would bother her ( I don't like it when I squeal either... and hear it) was one big factor in my returning the units.
Other than that, here's a summary of my experience,
I believe that I must've had one defective module since when trying out one unit when connected to my iPhone4 and making a call to my wife (while just in the house), she said she couldn't understand me. I tried adjusting the speaker/mic a little and calling again... not much difference. Then, I tried swapping out the module and it was an instant improvement... except for the fact that she said it did sound like I had my head in a bowl (expected - I use a SYMax II modular) it was very clear and plenty loud. It was at this point that she was able to hear the squeal from my hearing aids. And with it being that close to the mics, that pretty much sealed the fate for the UClear with us.
And so, I returned it. But, I decided to leave this "good" unit on my helmet anyway while making an hour drive so I could try it out at highway speed. I tried making several phone calls by using voice control, it failed to recognize the caller I was trying to reach each time. One time I connected to the wrong caller and they answered... I tried to explain that I had mistakenly called them... they could not hear me well at all, gave up, and hung up. But, I have to say, I could hear them fine even at highway speed.
I want to make one more comment, each time I tried to make a call through voice command, I could hear very clearly my iPhone's response to the person it recognized that I was calling... SO, with that being said, I have to say that audio streaming is probably very good quality.
I wish I could offer more feedback on this unit for you guys. Because, no doubt it's a fair amount of money to put down for something that's new. I will also say this, the Maxxim Honda dealer that I returned my unit to, said that I was the first return and to date, they had sold more than 25 units in the last 30 days or so.
As for what AndyUClear said in the private email, it was just some helpful suggestions to try out in order to improve the performance. He was helpful and willing to go the extra mile to get me fixed up, even providing me with contact info. I understand you skepticism. But, until you actually try the unit out yourself, you ought to lighten up a bit.

I am not trying to be mean. I'm simply stating a fact when I say you are not an ideal tester. Number one, you wear hearing aides. Number two, you wear hearing aides. Number three, well I think you know.
Of course it made your hearing aides squeal! The mic is right there next to your ears. They may be short throw uni-directional mics, but you're never going to be able to put on a set with mmics next to your ears! You need a boom setup, or you need to lower the sensitivity on your hearing aides so they don't feedback with your mics. That is, if you can adjust them. If not then you're only option is the boom setup. From all reviews I think the Sena is best, and they do offer earbuds instead of speakers.
Lastly, I don't consider the reply of a person's name back to you from your phone as a good judge of sound quality. When I say 'Call John' on my phone and it replies, or when I have the GPS on, the instructions are always louder than actual voice conversation on the phone. Put a set of earbuds on and try that at home and then liisten to the difference in the call quality versus the phone's automated responses.
In general, your review is for worthless. Be real. I'll lighten up when I hear someone give a decent review. That just ain't gonna happen though.

Great comments and very to the point with nothing to dispute fact-wise. I totally agree with you about the earbuds. Have been through a zillion ways of trying to get speakers to work in helmets to no avail above city speeds. Many of us have expensive (more than $100, not those crappy ipod things) earbuds and are used to decent sound. I want a communication/intercom set that will let me plug them in and (when they break or I want a higher performing set) will allow me to exchange without cutting wires or buying a new radio set. I'll never buy any communication device again that doesn't allow me to use my own earbuds.

AndyUCLEAR - That review at WBB thusfar simply states they like the clarity of the system at a stand still with various levels of road noise. They did not, as yet, road test it as they have all their other units. They also go on to say that sound is 'on par' with other high end units they tested (Sena, Scala, Interphone). I will say they seem to give you the edge whe it comes to 'vocal' clarity, but again this was not during road testing at various speeds. They also say in other reviews that your range is the lowest since you do not incorporate an external antenna. SO, I am still not convinced - especially at $200 apiece.
kuri77 - The only choice for earbuds currently is the Sena model.

This product sounds like exactly what I want, if it can live up to expectations.
I appreciate the comments from wabbit45, healthy skepticism is a good thing... BT headsets have been hyped for quite a while, and I've never been impressed with real world results.
I too will be watching this thread.

No sir, I dont wear ear plugs. I occasionally wear ear buds, but I dont really like that either. I like to hear whats going on around me and things in my ears bug me. So being able to hear navigation, music, xm radio, etc, in comfort (as in nothing in my ears) AND being able to hear stuff around me is right up my alley.
Again, everything is very clear and understandable, but bass response is obviously lacking in music. Crisp highs and nice mids make for a very clear phone listening experience, and that is my primary goal.

Anybody tried one with ear plugs??
edit: found a review on triumph675.net, guy noted a lot of problems. Buttons to small to work properly with gloves, volume just barely adequate, music drops out (loss of pairing perhaps). Sounds to me like it's not quite ready for prime time...
what I'd like is one that's just for music.. no mic... don't really need that and it's kinda a pain on flip up helmets.

I needs more than phone calls
Heres my situation. I commute to work daily and would like to receive calls on my Palm Pre cell phone, I understand it has blue tooth, but have never used it. BTW I have 0 experience with Blue Tooth. I aint gonna call anybody while riding, so outgoing calls are irrelevant. Also, I assume that a pillion would be able to communicate with the rider via the bike to bike feature as long as they have their own unit right?
Occasionally, I ride with touring riders who use CBs to communicate. I use a cobra hand held model with a simple wired headset and push to talk. Its clunky to set up and easy pull loose a wire or disable it in some other way. It works, but it's annoying.
I ride dual sport frequently with a different helmet, and there is less commonality with the DS riders, often we use UHF hand helds, but also the inexpensive GMRS/FRS radios available.
Ive avoided Blue tooth because it only deals with one issue, the phone. I rarely ride with a passenger. If I can get a solution for the phone and CB, Im willing to look at a different set up for the DS helmet. If I can get a solution for the dual sport as well, well that would be very welcome icing on the cake. How much of a solution can you offer? Thanks cr

i just recieved a letter for an interview my income is not great am 24 rent a room i go to school and work but i was told that they might put me in the hud program. my question is would i have to be approved for the building first then wait to be put into the hud program?
Hi, I'm 25yrs old, and I am looking for my first apartment. I lived in Canarsie most of my life and always drove by Starret City/Spring Creek and I want to apply for an apartment. After reading a lot of reviews, there seems to be mixed reviews. nonetheless, i still want to apply. i work 37.5hrs a week with a salary a little over $46,000. is that an issue? some ppl say if you make too much its not good. but i dont know what the cut off is. also, im in grad school and i graduate spring 2014, and i wanted to get an apartment by summer 2014. if i apply now, will that give me enough time to hear back from them? i hear its a long process. any info will help! thanks!
Here's an update I went for my interview march 2012 brought in my documents I was told I didn't have have enough hours I would have to be on a waiting list until I can bring on pay stubs saying I work 35 hours a week at the time I did have paystubs saying I work 35 hours however I worked two jobs so combined it was 35 hours they want one employer that I work 35 hours for smh now am with child I desperately need an apartment I lost one of my two jobs had to move back with my mom And my brother refuse to give back my room since my mom only has a two bedrooms so am sleeping on the couch smh unbelievable and this is a 23 year old man who hasn't worked a day in his life I have worked since I was 15 am 25 now in school this semester is my last sorry about my life story but wanted to vent a lil anyway a friend of mine gave me an idea she is willing to apply get a two bedroom under her name as head of household with me since she has 35 hours then after the lease is up transfer it to my name question would the 2 bed become based on my income since I make less then her ?
It took me at least 5 months before i had recv'd my interview notice. And as far as the income requirements, I too am insearch to verify that answer and the number @ 718-642-7368 doens't know how to retrun calls to schedule an appt for you to be interview. Best thing is to go to office once letter is recv'd to schedule an appt. Be careful because some of the staff members are very nasty with their attitude.
Does anyone know approximately how long it takes to receive a letter in the mail for an interview?
I received a letter in the mail also...I applied back in July after seeing an ad in the paper...How long after the interview do they call you for an apartment?
You said you recieved a letter for an interview in January. How long did you wait before you recieved this letter? Becasue i heard you have to submit your application months in advance before they write you back. How long would you say you waited? When did you apply?
What is the income requirements for a 2 or Three bed room.
Whatever program STARRETT puts you in is based on your income. You do not have to apply for the programs and although they are city programs they cannot be used outside of Starrett

That message comes from Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald, confirming that the search for a missing Onalaska boater continues at the lake where the man was last seen.
Fitzgerald says Red Cedar Lake was dragged over the weekend in the search for 50-year-old Todd Gordon. Dogs also were used, and a deputy was scheduled to check the lake again today. Gordon was seen boating on April 6th, the day his empty boat turned up on the lakeshore.

Ubuntu 10.10 review
Ubuntu 10.10, aka Maverick Meerkat, is the latest stable release of the Debian-based Linux distribution. This is the second and the last release for the year. As is customary for Ubuntu, three editions were released: The Desktop, Netbook, and Server editions. This article offers a detailed review of the desktop edition.
And as is the custom on this website, we begin by looking at the installation program and process.
Installation: On the surface, the installation program on Ubuntu 10.10 looks more advanced than the one in the last stable release. In reality, however, they are the same. The difference is mostly cosmetic. One cosmetic change you will observe when running the installer is shown in the screenshot below. It is a check list of sorts. The first and last item on that list make sense, but the second does not. "… Ensure that this computer is plugged into a power source." Really! How else could I be reading that installation check list if my computer is not plugged into a power source? I want to believe that there is something about that second item that I missed. If you know what it is, please drop a comment.
The installer still lacks support for LVM, RAID, and full disk encryption. The only encryption feature it has is home folder encryption, which just encrypts a user's home folder if the "Encrypt my home folder" option is checked. Keep in mind that this option does not offer partition-level encryption. For example, if you create a separate partition for /home and you check "Encrypt my home folder," your home folder will be encrypted, but the partition will not.
If you chose to encrypt your home folder, you will see the message shown in the image below the first time you log in. Note that this folder-level encryption does not offer the same level of physical security as full disk encryption. If you need to install Ubuntu 10.10 on an encrypted disk, you will have to use the Alternate installation image.
As on virtually all current Linux distributions, the default journaling file system is ext4. Others supported are ext3, jfs, reiserfs, and xfs. Ubuntu 10.10 is the first stable version of the Ubuntu desktop to offer support for btrfs, the B-Tree file System. You might want to read how to install Ubuntu on a btrfs file system. The boot loader is GRUB 2 (version 1.98).
A very cool, new feature (this one is not cosmetic) of the Ubuntu installer is the "multi-tasking" feature, which makes it possible to perform other installation tasks while the installer is copying files. At the installation step shown in the image below, for example, you can click on the Forward button to move to the next task, while files are still being copied.
And if the installer has finished copying files before you complete the other tasks, it will patiently wait for you. In the beta edition, "Log in automatically" was enabled by default. However, in this stable release, "Require my password to log in," which is the right option, is enabled.

I'm pretty sure that the 'Please make sure your computer is plugged into a power source' is for laptop users.
Been a while since this review was posted, however there don't seem to be any comments about to your power supply query.
Maybe it's just me, but I immediately thought that the instruction referred to people installing on laptops where the battery could run out halfway through an install with the possibility of corrupted file systems or, maybe, damaged drives.
At the least you'd have to plug in, or recharge the battery, and start again.
See ya
This is a way old topic but OMG. So quick to point a finger at Ubuntu. And seriously how hard is it to google "distro" it takes all of 30 seconds. No big deal. By the way, learning how to use terminal. You can't just open it and expect to know how to use it and another by the way, the su (super user) function is used for things that only an admin would deal with. In addition it wants the ROOT password!!!! not yours! I'm sorry but that was such a dumbass remark… anyway. It's simple, but it takes a whole lot of learning and practice. And installing an OS is not a guess. Linux based distros are a crapload more stable than any Windows distro. I don't even have an anti-spyware on my Mac home computer. And I have been using it for a good 3 years. Never had a virus. On a Windows machine that would be like saying come over and get comfy! Ever heard of a Windows server that didn't have a big expensive firewall in front of it? Guess what OS most firewalls are based off of. LINUX. My linux server has just a firewall program running. nothing else. And dual booting is no simple task that is done in a routine way. there are different ways of doing it and if it is your first time no duh you have to learn some stuff.
I tried to install Ubuntu on a separate partition after Win 7 64. The problem is that Grub overwrites BCD which I want to maintain. I tried to use EasyBCD 2 to change the MBR, but that failed to find the Linux boot file. Yes Grub gives me the option of booting Win 7, but I want Windows as the primary operating system. Does anyone know how? Thanks…
I put ubuntu 10.10 on a separate partition just to try Linux and I am extremely unhappy with it. You have to study volumes of data to find out how to even install a printer driver. I tried loading addons and you can't even find the after they are installed. You have to trace down how to get to a terminal window and then read many, many volumes more on how to use it. Example: type in su – and it asks you for a password. Type in your pass word and nothing happens. Now start googleing to find out that it doesn't want a password. They took Thunderbird and stripped it to make some kind of a junior email program. In the long of it. ubuntu may start getting in the race with windows in another 10.10 years.
I always find it mildly amusing when people who have *clearly* never even attempted to use a Linus distro start trying to guess what their criticisms of it should be.
For the record, I installed Ubuntu back in 2007 – dual booting with Windows XP – and even though I had no idea what I was doing, I managed to get everything up and running within the space of a single evening.
Although I have since shifted to a different distro, Ubuntu does deserve a lot of credit for providing a very easy way in for people who have absolutely no Linux experience.
First I had to look up "distro" to find out what it was – another Linux term for distribution.
There is nothing amusing about trying to get a system to run when the entire operation is nothing but a guess. I also got ubuntu running in a few hours, but that put a kink into me with what I had to go through to get it done.
how ignorance, do you know there is one amazing thing exists in the world called laptop?
October 29, 2010 at 1:23 pm
I speak, read & write normal English. When will *ix not tell me that my directories "data" & "Data" are different?
Case-sensitivity has nothing to do with proficiency in English.
English has nothing_to_do_with_*.ix._In_English_,_'english'_is_different_from'Enlish'.
But *.ix does not know that. Look at the many *.x utilities the replace "_" with " ", and replace " " with "_".
If you copy you folder directory with all the sub-directories, you can see that "data", "DATA" and "Data" are three different directories. M$ windows know English better than *.ix.
One day, Ms Macboy (or M$ Wintoy), you might try Ubuntu. Then you will see how wrong you are.

Creating and deploying software updates is standard procedure for virtually every software company in the world. Knowing strategies for how to create an update-friendly Windows Installer (MSI) installation goes a long way to ensuring a smooth, error-free update experience for your end-users down the road. In the recently updated white paper "Designing an Update-Friendly MSI Installation" these ten tips are shared for organizing your initial MSI Installation Project to best prepare it for future upgrades:
Tip 1. Whenever possible, use versioned key files.
Tip 2. Partition your product into discrete sets of features.
Tip 3. Put user-configurable registry data in its own feature.
Tip 4. MSI property values are not automatically saved during the initial installation.
Tip 5. New subfeatures should be marked as "required" and "follow parent".
Tip 6: If your minor upgrade removes data (files, registry settings, and so forth) from a component, populate the corresponding "Remove" data.
Tip 7: Change the MSI product version for each new release.
Tip 8: When building your update package, use Patch Optimization in your build settings.
Tip 9: When generating a patch for a compressed installation, use an administrative image.
Tip 10: When generating a patch, both versions should have the same media layout.
Download the white paper now for detailed explanation of each tip including best practice guidelines. You'll also learn how-to design upgrade packages to install later versions of your products, as well as be introduced to the different types of updates supported by Windows Installer.

VIDEO: Incredible, impromptu iPhone gig on the train
We've seen iOS devices being used for musical instruments in the past, but we don't think we've seen anything quite as good, or at least daring, as this.
Brooklyn based Atomic Tom kicked into action on their iPhone after, apparently, having their instruments pinched.
Whether you like the song or not (and we do) you have to admit that it's quite and incredible performance.
It beats what we at Pocket-lint do on our phones on the train - which basically involves just playing Doodle Jump or Angry Birds.

SOULFUL WAILER – Bunny's tribute to the pioneers
- Jan
- 03
EntertainmentHoward CampbellThursday, January 02, 2014
IT has been 50 years since Bunny Wailer recorded his first song. In a storied career, he has had hit songs in every genre of Jamaican popular music.Reincarnated Souls, a multi-track set distributed by Tads Record, is his latest production. It contains three compact discs with 50 songs as well as a double DVD titled The Trench Town Experience, which looks at the history of the Kingston community where Wailer's career started.The set, he told the Jamaica Observer recently, is a salute to the evolution of Jamaica's popular music."Is 50 years since the birth of ska an' a lotta the people dem wha' play dem music nuh dey roun' again. Man like me wey did dey roun' haffi keep the thing alive," said Wailer.Most of the songs on Reincarnated Souls, including Burn Down Babylon, Easy Rude Boy and Rebel, were written by the 66-year-old Wailer. He also puts his spin on John Holt's A Love I Can Feel, Push Wood originally done by Barbadian singer Jackie Opel, and the Tom Jones classic What's New Pussycat.Along with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer was an original member of the Wailers, which formed in Trench Town in late-1963. The following year, they recorded Simmer Down, one of several ska hits for the group.The Wailers also thrived in the rock steady era of the late-1960s, and recorded a number of classic reggae sides for producer Lee 'Scratch' Perry before signing with Island Records in the early 1970s.The trio split in late-1973 for solo careers with Wailer recording seminal albums such as Black Heart Man and Protest, released by Island in 1976 and 1977, respectively.Bunny Wailer is scheduled to perform at Rebel Salute, slated for Richmond Park Estate in Priory, St Ann January 17-18.

BREAKING: Seth MacFarlane, Emma Stone to Announce 85th ACADEMY AWARD Nominations, 1/10
Nominations for the 85th Academy Awards will be announced by the show's host, Seth MacFarlane, and actress Emma Stone on Thursday, January 10. This will be the first time since 1972 that an Oscar show host has participated in the nominations announcement.
MacFarlane and Stone will unveil the nominations at a 5:30 a.m. PT news conference at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, where hundreds of media representatives from around the world will be gathered.
Since the first nominations announcement in 1964, the Academy president has been joined by one or more co-announcers at the event. This year the Academy will break with tradition when MacFarlane, who was named Oscar show host in October, joins Stone on Oscar nominations morning. Charlton Heston (1972) was the only other show host to participate in the nominations announcement.
Stone starred in the 2011 Best Picture nominee "The Help" and the summer release "The Amazing Spider-Man." Her other film credits include "Superbad," "Zombieland," "Easy A" and "Crazy, Stupid, Love." Stone will be seen in "Gangster Squad" later this month and in "The Croods," due out in March.
Nominations information for all categories will be distributed to news media in attendance and via the Internet on the official Academy Awards website, www.oscar.com.
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on Oscar Sunday, February 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, and televised live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries worldwide.
