Zhuhai (珠海; Zhūhǎi) [19] is the name of a city, and Special Economic Zone (SEZ), in Guangdong Province, China. The name means Pearl Sea; Zhuhai is where the Pearl River (珠江; Zhūjiāng) flows into the South Sea (南海 Nánhǎi).
Zhuhai is known for its beautiful long coastline, waving palm trees, open spaces, low population density, and its many islands; Zhuhai's nicknames are the city for lovers and the city of a hundred islands. Zhuhai serves as the gateway to Macau, as a tourist destination for Chinese, and as a playground for hedonistic Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan visitors who come for Zhuhai's very colorful nightlife and available female companionship at mainland prices.
Located in the Pearl River Delta, Zhuhai borders Jiangmen to the northwest, Zhongshan to the north, and former Portuguese colony Macau to the south. By sea, former British colony Hong Kong and Shenzhen are just across the bay to the east. The provincial capital Guangzhou is about 150 km to the north.
The Zhuhai area has been inhabited for thousands of years. Until the 1970s, Zhuhai was a group of fishing villages with a population of around 100,000. Since 1980, when it was designated a Special Economic Zone by the central government, Zhuhai has expanded to include nearby areas and is now a fast-growing modern city with well over a million inhabitants. However, it is still not as large and developed as neighboring cities like Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Zhuhai's northern districts of Jinding and Tangjia, as well as the western district of Doumen, are less developed factory-driven areas that retain a deeper working-man, salt-of-the-earth quality.
Zhuhai is one of China's cleanest and prettiest cities, and received numerous accolades for its excellent ecological development efforts. In 1998, it was awarded the International Award for Best Practices in Improving Living Environment by the United Nations Center for Human Settlements. It is also commonly agreed to be one of the best cities in China to retire in. With a low population density compared to other larger cities in China, Zhuhai is unsurprisingly greener. Parks and open spaces dot the cityscape, and waving palm trees line the extensive coastline and many of the major streets.
The weather in Zhuhai is sub-tropical. Temperature varies between 10C/50F degrees in winter (Dec to Feb) to a hot and humid 35C/95F degrees in summer (Jun to Sep). Typhoons are also a possibility in summer. The best times to visit are during spring and fall.
The city of Zhuhai itself is composed of Gongbei, Jida and Xiangzhou. The other areas mentioned are districts within the Zhuhai Special Economic Zone.
North to South along the coast, the main districts are:
Going West from Gongbei are other districts:
One of Zhuhai's nicknames is the city of a hundred islands (146 to be exact), and it has a number of islands that are accessible from ports by ferries. An often overlooked aspect is the fact that each of the islands has a unique character. Some have decent beaches, and some are eerily quiet fishing islands. Each trip is a noticeable escape from the hustle and bustle of living in Chinese cities. A trip to the islands is arguably comparable to leaving the country. High-quality seafood abounds. Information about where to go or what to do can be difficult to come by because most locals do not visit due to cost of transportation. As a result, most tourists do not get a chance to explore these beautiful places at all, and most of the information available on the internet regarding Zhuhai focuses on the urban areas. Nonetheless, the curious expat or adventurous traveler will be generously rewarded. From the Xiangzhou Northern Wharf (香洲北堤码头; Xiāngzhōu Běidīmǎtóu), you can get to the Wanshan Islands (万山群岛; Wànshānqúndǎo):
While not as distant and not part of the Wanshan Islands, Henquin Island, Qi'ao Island, and Gaolan Island can all be reached by bus via a bridge.
Remember to take plenty of cash with you on these island excursions because some islands do not have ATMs.
Zhuhai city inland portions of the terrain from the northwest to Southeast tilt, and diverse topography, with plain (25.5%), hills (58.68%), which has low mountain, tidal flat. Flat terrain, the hills of Linhai, sea area is vast, the hundred islands crouch, have qifengyidan beautiful bay, and the beach. Inland from Lantau Peak, General Hill's two major mountain ranges and coastal hills, plains. Sanzao island is the largest island, an area of about 78 square kilometers.

Get in[edit]
Most visitors to China will require an advance visa, which can be obtained in Hong Kong or Macau. See Visas for details.
If you are only visiting the Zhuhai area, three-day visas upon arrival are available at the border. Upon entering the Gongbei immigration building, after passing all the duty free shops, the visa office is behind a green door on the right hand side of the hall. Follow the stairs and you will find the office on the left. You need to complete a small white form, pay the fee and have your photograph taken with a webcam. The visa is then processed within minutes. This costs ¥160 for most nationalities, but Americans cannot use the service and Brits have to fork out ¥450 (December 2008). Hong Kong dollars are not accepted. Currency can be converted at the China Tourist Services office back downstairs in the main immigration hall, but usually at an awful rate. Once the visa has been issued, proceed to the immigration hall to complete the immigration process.
(january 2011: I applied for a SEZ visa. The price list did have USA as a nationality, the price being about ¥950)
By plane[edit]
Zhuhai Airport (IATA: ZUH) [20]. This is a moderately sized, modern airport that connects the area with many Chinese cities, but not many international destinations. It is located west of downtown in Doumen District. Budget carrier Spring Airlines [21] flies here daily from Shanghai.
The Airport Express Bus departs from the airport to Xiangzhen and Gongbei districts for ¥30 (November 2010) per passenger, and follows the schedule of arriving flights. The first bus departs around 11:00 AM and the last bus departs about 21:30. A taxi from the airport to Gongbei or Jiuzhou in downtown Zhuhai is around ¥130 (October 2011) when traffic is free flowing. You may also take public bus number 207, which goes right to the Gongbei border crossing, and costs ¥6. However the journey time is between 1 hour 45 mins and 2 hours. Note that this bus does not have a luggage storage area on board.
Zhuhai can also be easily reached by bus from the Guangzhou airport (see below).
To reach Zhuhai from outside China, one would usually fly to Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen or Guangzhou. All four cities have large, modern airports with many international connections and all are within an hour or two of Zhuhai; Macau is closest.
From the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (IATA: CAN) [22], a frequent express bus service that goes to Zhuhai is available. It costs ¥80 and takes approximately 2.5 hours with one stop in the northern part of Zhuhai before going on to the Gongbei border gate to Macau. There is a check in for the airport at Gongbei bus station, located near the KFC.
From the Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (IATA: SZX) [23], access from the fourth busiest airport in China is by long distance bus. Bus service is available for Zhuhai/Macau from the Airport Traffic Center from 08:20 until 21:05 for a price of ¥95 with a journey time of 2 hours. Service from Zhuhai to the airport leaves from Gongbei bus station between the same hours. Access is also possible via ferry using the Shekou Ferry Terminal, the Shenzhen Fuyong Ferry Terminal at Shenzhen Airport does not have a service to Zhuhai.
From the Macau International Airport (IATA: MFM) [24], the best way to get to Zhuhai is via the Express Link [25] service, skipping the Macau immigration and customs altogether. Once you deboard the plane, instead of going through immigration, look for the Express Link (China) sign and follow it. This will lead you past a transit security scan station where you must pick up an Express Link card, and upstairs into the departure hall. Go to the ticket counter at Gate 8, present your card and buy a ticket for the coach that goes to the Gongbei border (past Macau, before Zhuhai). The coach fare is ¥52 and the ride takes only 15 minutes. Coach departure times are 11AM, 11:30AM, 12PM, 12:30PM, 1PM, 2:45PM, 5PM, 5:30PM, 6PM and 6PM. If you need to check in any bags for your flight, remember to have them blue tagged during your flight check-in procedure for this Express Link service. The blue tag is not a necessity, merely a convenience. Present your luggage tags at the above-mentioned coach ticket counter and pick up your bags at the bus bay later.
The option to skip the Macau immigration is not available on the return. Allow at least three hours to get from Gongbei to the Macau airport. Immigration formalities can be very time-consuming, particularly on the Chinese side during the weekends. Once out of the Chinese customs (before entering Macau), there is a little ticket booth to the left where you can get a shuttle bus ticket to the airport for ¥35. The buses will be waiting on the left once you leave the Macau immigration hall. They run at 10 minutes intervals.
Should you decide to go through the Macau immigration at the airport and use the Taxi service to get to Zhuhai, the ride takes only about 15 minutes. It costs about ¥60-80 for the short ride. But it is reasonable priced for those (>2 persons) who wish to share the taxi cab fees. The charges are inclusive of surcharge of ¥5 at the airport, ¥5 per piece of luggage. Taxi payment can be in Macau, HongKong or Chinese currencies. They are all treated equally in value. (ie. dollar for dollar, even though Macau dollar has the lowest value of the three currencies). Taxi cabs queue at the curve outside of the airport. Beware of fake note at this point. You may switch on your China mobile phone once you reaches the mid span of the Friendship bridge. The reception is rather good from this point onwards.
Crossing into Zhuhai, China through the Gongbei port takes about 20-30 minutes. The Gongbei immigration office open for border crossing starting from 7:00am. For foreigner entering China, you will need to produce a valid visa. Follow the immigration line that say "Foreigner". Once you clear immigration, you are now entering the duty free zone. Chocolate, Western liquor and cigarette are popular gifts to the Chinese. These foreign goods are extremely rare and expensive in mainland China. So they serve as very attractive gifts to the Chinese. As a foreigner, you are also required to fill up an entry form, indicating your place of stay in China and your departure detail. Please ensure you fill up this slip before queuing at the Chinese Immigration line.
When you exit the Gongbei immigration building, you have reached the Zhuhai border. If you need to purchase a pre-paid cellphone card, please proceed to exit the immigration building, then walk downstair to the underground mall. There are many telephone services stalls here. You may purchase a pre-paid sim-card here for ¥100. It comes with a loaded value of ¥50. You will need a GSM phone to get it to work. Always keep your belonging zipped inside your pocket here as pick-pocket is very common at the border check point.
From Hong Kong International Airport (IATA: HKG) [26], one option is to take the Airport Express to Kowloon Station (at the cost of HK$90), then hop on the free Airport Express transit bus K2 to the China-Hong Kong Ferry Terminal (中港城码头; Zhōnggǎngchéngmǎtóu) to take a ferry to Zhuhai. See below for ferry timetable.
Another option from Hong Kong is to catch a ferry from the HKIA Skypier to Macau and then cross into Zhuhai via the Gongbei border gate. Immigration and custom procedures can be skipped at the Hong Kong end. Full instructions can be found here [27]. The ferry journey takes about 50 minutes and runs hourly (usually).
A third option from HKIA is now available in the form of long-distance buses that go overland to Gongbei. The journey takes 3.5 hours and costs HK$200. Departure times are 7AM, 8AM, 4PM, 5PM and 7PM.
A new ferry service is just introduced (twice daily for now) that brings travelers directly from HKIA to the Jiuzhou Port in Zhuhai. The ferry leaves at 12:15PM, 2:04PM, 5PM and 8PM. The one from Zhuhai to HKIA leaves at 9:30AM, 12:40PM, 3:30PM and 18:30PM. The trip takes approximately 50 minutes.
By boat[edit]
From Hong Kong: There are several ferries per day from Hong Kong International Airport, HK-Macau Ferry Terminal (港澳码头; Gǎngàomǎtóu; Hong Kong/Hong Kong Island), China Ferry Terminal (中港城码头; Zhōng Gǎngchéngmǎ tóu; Kowloon) and Shekou Ferry Terminal (蛇口港; Shékǒugǎng; Shekou) arriving at the Zhuhai Jiuzhou Ferry Terminal (九洲港; Jiǔzhōugǎng). There is a taxi rank and bus stops directly outside. You can take a free bus ride to GongBei by showing your ferry ticket. Visas can be purchased here for most nationalities (not American citizens). Payment is in RMB only and the ATMs are through immigration so plan ahead.
The HKIA-Zhuhai ferry is operated by Chu Kong [28], who charge HK$260/¥280 one-way to/from Zhuhai.
Getting to Zhuhai Airport from the Jiuzhou Ferry port that connects Zhuhai with Hong Kong, an Airport bus can be taken for about ¥30 and the last bus departs at 8PM. The journey takes about 2 hours.
From Macau: There is a ferry service operating from Macau's Inner Harbour's Pier 14 (澳门粤通码头; Àomén Yuètōngmǎtóu) to Wanzai. Daily departures roughly hourly from 8am to 4pm.
By car[edit]
It is possible to drive across the border from Macau. Unlike Macau, China drives on the right.
Only vehicles with dual plates are allowed to drive across the border.
By bus[edit]
Hundreds of buses come from Guangzhou every day, usually via the Jingzhu (Beijing-Zhuhai) Highway (京珠高速; Jīngzhūgāosù). You can catch one at:
From any of these locations, the trip will cost ¥70-75 and take about 2.5 hours. Buses leave every half hour and go to Gongbei. Along the way, they usually make a stop at Xiangzhou (香洲; Xiāngzhōu) and Suidaonan (隧道南; Suìdàonán).
Zhuhai has several bus stations:
On foot[edit]
You can walk across the border from Macau at Gongbei. The border is open from 7am to midnight. It typically takes 20 minutes of walking time, but be prepared for long queues, which can easily add over an hour to your total border crossing time.
An alternative crossing is via the Lotus Bridge in Macau's Cotai area to the island of Hengqin. This border crossing point is open 8AM-8PM. After crossing the Macau side, take a shuttle bus across the bridge to the China side (fare ¥3, no change given so carry the exact amount). From the Hengqin side of the border take bus number 14 to Xiangzhou, or catch one of the Kee Kwan air-conditioned minibuses to Wanzai or Gongbei (¥5). It is also possible to cross via ferry at Wanzai on the Zhuhai side, which is also on the number 14 bus route.
For foreigner entering China, you will need to produce a valid visa. Follow the immigration line that says "Foreigner".
When you exit the Gongbei immigration building, you have reached the Zhuhai border. If you need to purchase a pre-paid cellphone card, please proceed to exit the immigration building, then walk downstair to the underground mall. There are many telephone services stalls here. You may purchase a pre-paid sim-card here for ¥100. It comes with a loaded value of ¥50. You will need a GSM phone to get it to work. Always keep your belongings zipped inside your pocket here as pickpockets are very common at the border check point.
On the return trip from China to Macau, here are the border crossing tips from Zhuhai China to Macau via Gongbei port. The Gongbei immigration building opens at 7:00am. If you arrived at the Zhuhai Gongbei port via Taxi cab, you either arrive in front of the Gongbei immigration building or via the underground tunnel, linked to the underground mall below the Gongbei immigration building. Proceed to queue up at the entrance of building. It is rather cold in the morning so bring enough warm clothing with you if you decided to queue up in the morning before 7:00am.
When the building opens, proceed inside the building. Look for the line that says "Foreigner" (usually line# 15). If you are already late for your connecting flight, go to the express line (no queuing required) and show them your air ticket for immediate attention. Once you clear the Chinese immigration, you enter the duty-free zone. Proceed to the immigration hall. Foreigner is required to fill up a blue-color slip in this hall, declaring your place of stay in Macau and your departure details. Proceed to queue at the line that says "Foreigner". Once you clear the Macau immigration, proceed to exit the building. If you carry any luggage with you, the immigration officer may request that your luggage be scanned by the X-ray machine before you are allowed to exit the immigration building. The whole border crossing process takes about 20-25 minutes, excluding waiting time in the long queues.
You may choose Taxi cab or bus to get to the airport. The ride to the Macau International Airport takes only 15 minutes from Gongbei port. There will be surcharge of Macau$5 to the airport and $6 per item of luggage. It costs about Macau $70 to get to the airport by Taxi cab (inclusive of surcharges). Taxi cabs accepts Macau Patacas, Hong Kong Dollars or Chinese RMB for payment. These currencies are treated equally (With RMB being the most expensive) during payment. You may still use your Chinese pre-paid telephone card up to the mid-span of the Friendship Bridge in Macau. After that, the signal drops off.
By train[edit]
The Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity Mass Rapid Transit (Guangzhu MRT) opened on 7 January 2011. Currently, (Jan 6, 2013) line connect Guangzhou South railway station (Guangzhounan) and Zhuhai (near Gongbei (border cross point to Macao)). Price is dramatically changed (70 CNY for a 2nd class in one way). Not in all information resource information about it updated. So take bus K1 (3 CNY) for reaching Zhuhai North Railway Station (珠海北站; Zhūhái Běi Zhàn) (about 50 min) is not a good idea, because it a little cheaper (55 CNY) but it same line and not every train Guangzhou - Zhuhai is stopped now on Zhuhai North Railway Station. Also, price information is not updated too from Zhuhai North Railway Station' now 2nd class is 55 CNY, not 36 and full price from GZ to ZH cost 70 CNY. Trip time for full path about 1:20 from Zhuhai North Railway Station about 1 hour.
Bus routes 3A (to Jiuzhou ferry port) and 65 (to Zhulinpu in Tangjiawan) connect the station to the rest of Zhuhai, while there is also a minivan service to Beijing Normal University. Reaching downtown Zhuhai from Zhuhai North station takes around 40-50 minutes by bus. There is also a taxi queue immediately outside the station.
If your interesting in making your way straight to the Macau border, you can take the k1 bus directly from the station (珠海北站) to the Gongbei (拱北) border crossing. The cost is 3 yuan, and it takes about 30 minutes.
Until the rail line extension comes into play, the direct downtown-to-downtown busses are likely to be faster and more convenient.
Get around[edit]
Zhuhai is quite spread out. The terrain is coastal plain broken up by mountains or, seen from the sea, a series of bays and headlands. There are many clumps of development separated by hills, often parkland.
For all information about the city you can pick up Delta Bridges City Guide at almost every bar, hotel or better restaurant. All information is freshly updated, or visit their website link title
Cantonese is the indigenous language of Zhuhai, it being a part of the Pearl River Delta. Nevertheless, due to the massive influx of immigrants from other parts of China over the last two decades, Mandarin is now the lingua franca. English is not widely used, but some people speak it.
See[edit][add listing]
Do[edit][add listing]
Two universities are located along the main coastal road North of central Zhuhai, between Xiangzhou and Tangjia, accessible by bus 3, 10, 69 or the sightseeing bus:
Several more are further North, on a side road just before Jinding. Take bus 69 from town, bus 70 from Jinding, or bus 10A from Gongbei. The Zhuhai North train station is also in this area.
Buy[edit][add listing]
Always inspect the product before paying for it and leaving the shop. Also, note down where you bought the item. You will never get a refund, but Gongbei shop owners are surprisingly diligent about protecting their reputation, so they will more than likely exchange defective merchandise.
The main drag in Jida is Jingshan Road (景山路; Jǐngshānlù) and it has two blocks of nice department stores:
Western groceries[edit]
To shop for imported groceries, including items such as cheese, chocolate, and milk, try
Eat[edit][add listing]
Cantonese cuisine is common place, but street food stalls and restaurants featuring food from all over China are also easily found. Seafood is a local specialty.
Street food[edit]
For a cheap and filling snack, look for the tiny noodle places run by Muslims.
Other Chinese[edit]
Food from other regions of China is also available. Hunan and Sichuan food is common. Within walking distance north of Jusco on the main street, there are many restaurants:
Other Asian[edit]
Around the border shopping area, there are a number of good and reasonably priced Thai restaurants.
There are several good pizza places, popular with the local expatriate community:
Pizza can also be found in other local restaurants, including a local chain called Pizza Coffee, but the pizza is not very appealing to Western tastes.
Pub food[edit]
There are several notable Japanese restaurants in Zhuhai:
There is one German restaurant/bar in Nanping District, serving authentic German cuisine:
* St. Pauli Kommune Let the taxi driver take you to 濂泉路. You will see a parking lot with a smaller street going away from the parking lot. Walk past the Chinese places and up the smaller street. You find the restaurant on the left-hand side. For more info, visit their homepage: http://www.stprestaurant.com/
Drink[edit][add listing]
Zhuhai is known for its nightlife due to its status as a tourist destination for Chinese nationals, and as a playground for Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan businessmen looking for female company. Whether it's enjoying Chinese street life, mixing it up with all walks of life on Walking Street, sipping cocktails on Bar Street, or hitting the wild electronic discos, Zhuhai has what you're looking for!
Lotus Road[edit]
For a truly unique experience, have a beer or coffee at one of the couple dozen open-air bar booths along Linhua Road (莲花路; Liánhuālù; lit. Lotus Road; also known as Walking Street (步行街; Bùxíngjiē)). It is parallel to Yingbin Road and a block east of it, starting on the western side of Gongbei Bus Station, opposite the northeast exit from the underground shopping complex at the Macau border. By day, it is a busy shopping street with numerous shops. It transforms into a spectacular must-see atmosphere at night. This area is filled with individual proprietary outdoor stalls for drinking and playing dice with the bar girls. The bar girls earn commission on the drinks so their goal is to get you to buy as much beer as possible. Casual approaches by working girls are common, as are beggars who offer to sing or shine your shoes, or present their pet monkey or simply point to their baby sadly. There are two groups of outdoor bars with the one further south nearer the border emphasizing food (nothing special) and the one a little further north emphasizing drinks. There is a stretch of shops in between the two areas. Drinks are cheap (¥18 for a bottle of beer, fresh fruit juice or cup of coffee), and you get to meet all sorts of travelers, expats, Hong Kong and Macau residents coming over for shopping or cheaper entertainment, local wannabes, and working girls. Hanging out here is by far one of the most interesting things to do in Zhuhai. Use common sense late at night, as things can get pretty wild. Most stalls are open till 3AM, a few stay open later for enthusiastic customers.
Bar Street[edit]
Bar Street (酒吧街; Jiǔbājiē), at around 300 meters long, is a well-established, modern strip of more upscale bars, some featuring live music. It is easily the first place newcomers to Zhuhai go to experience the energy and liveliness of life in Zhuhai after dark. This strip primarily caters to Chinese businessmen, Chinese yuppies, and moneyed or uninformed tourists. It is one block in-land and a 20 minute walk from the Gongbei border. Follow the street with the clock tower until it becomes Bar Street.
Your best bet is to hit your bar of choice first and then inquire and explore. The discos tend to be large, intense, and heavy into generic Chinese imitation euro-trance music, and popular with the young and rebellious. Cover charges may or may not apply, drinks are expensive by Chinese standards (generally ¥30 or more). Be careful with your possessions as these places are notorious for pickpockets.
There are numerous discos in Zhuhai that will allow you to continue your night into the morning. There are several in Gongbei within a short cab ride of either Bar Street or Walking Street:
There are several slightly smaller, dance type clubs located right on Bar Street.
The Xiangzhou and Jida areas also have popular discos.
For singing/drinking in private rooms with your friends, the following places charge per hour for the room and drinks are bought separately in the mini-supermarket within the facilities.
There are a handful of karaoke establishments across the street from the McDonald's as well.
There are many KTVs in Xiangzhou.
Come to Jinding Barbeque for a unique dining experience and beers aplenty (see Eat Section) and then go to Jinding Karaoke Bar Street, an off-the-beaten-path strip of about 10 truly hole-in-the-wall karaoke bars located northeast of the main street in Jinding. Come here if you want to experience where real salt-of-the-earth working class Chinese people go to get their drinks and howl at high decibel levels into a microphone. It is not easily reached by walking if you do not know where you are going, but it is easy to flag down any of the locals and get a ride on their motorcycle (takes about 3 minutes and costs ¥5) or take any of the taxi vans parked all around the middle of the main street. Just motion that you want to drink and sing and point in a eastward direction from the center of the main street to convey the message. You will be popular here and may be encouraged to join someone's table and drink gratis as most locals will be surprised a foreigner would come here. Drink plenty of beer or bring earplugs or both to dull the volume of the howling.
The Blarney Stone in the Holiday Inn has quite a number of beers on tap. It is located in Jida. It features live western music performed by Filipino groups, among others, on some nights (usually weekends). The German beers on tap are rather expensive at Y58 (+15%) but Y23 (+15%) for a pint of draught Filipino San Miguel is rather a good deal, especially during happy hour (6-8pm everyday) when it is buy one get one free. Although the Irish decor is pretty average, it is a large and comfortable venue for those who are looking for a tamer night out. One of the cheaper hotel bars that I have been in and enjoys a reasonable mix of clientèle for a bar in a western hotel.
Dragon Union Opera House, also in Tangjia, is a large entertainment venue, occasionally featuring live, perhaps tacky, variety shows with acrobats, jugglers, rope climbers and singers, etc. Beer is expensive during shows. There is also a floor dedicated to massages. There are quite a few karaoke rooms available, complete with furniture, beds, food, drink, choice of girls, and optional adult entertainment options to fulfill your every need no matter how unusual. Known even in Hong Kong as a destination for those seeking an 'all inclusive' karaoke experience, it can be as tame or as involved as you want it to be.
Sleep[edit][add listing]
Hotels in Zhuhai are reasonably priced. Travelers on tight budgets can opt for budget or midrange hotels. Most people choose to stay in Gongbei due to its proximity to attractions, nightlife, the Macau border, and its variety of conveniently located and reasonable hotels. Jida has primarily upscale hotels that business travelers sometimes opt for, which are usually conveniently located. Some are further away and require taking taxis or the bus. Further out, Xiangzhou also has a variety of options at different price ranges. The Northern districts of Tangjia and Jinding are further removed from the action of Zhuhai and offer very cheap hotels.
Most budget travelers opt for low end hotels, and there are a number of legitimate cheaper hotels in Gongbei with low prices between ¥160 and ¥230. Talking your way into Chinese only hotels may land you prices in the ¥120 to ¥150 range. Some hotels in Xiangzhou can be had for as little as ¥100 to ¥120, and in the Northern districts of Tangjia or Jinding hotels can be had for as low as ¥80 if you look around. However, for those who truly want rock bottom prices somewhere other than a hotel, there is budget lodging in the form of hostels, and private rooms offered by individuals or families.
Massage parlours[edit]
On the Walking Street in Gongbei there are at least three massage parlours. If you arrive after 9pm you may pay ¥60 to ¥88 (depending on the room type) for two hours traditional Chinese massage and they will let you sleep until mid-day without additional payment. In one establishment you may have the room to yourself. It has television and air-conditioning. In the others you share a room with four other guests.
Private rooms[edit]
Touts outside the Xiangzhou bus station offer accommodation, often in private apartments with the family on bunk beds in the living room so the bedrooms can earn money. ¥50 a night is usual. These are usually clean and have a TV in every room, but up several flights of stairs and with a squat toilet.
Gongbei hotels[edit]
There are at least a dozen hotels within short walking distance of the Gongbei border, mostly either cheap or mid-range (¥150-400) ones. You can bargain the prices down and normally they have special prices, around half the listed price. On the other hand, it is not uncommon to see a low price on the sign, but find when you go in that only more expensive rooms are available, sometimes this is true, sometimes it is an effort to coax you into a more expensive room. Adventurous single male travelers can scout around for rock bottom prices, and may be able to find a room for as little as ¥120-130 if they can talk these Chinese only hotels into accepting them, which is not always possible. Single female travelers, those with young families, or those fearing excessive street noise or noise from other guests should have no trouble landing a room for ¥175-275 (with an elevator, bellhop, restaurant etc), whic anyone would feel more than comfortable staying in. Most of the hotels located around the border fall into this category. The available options are plentiful so looking around for a hotel that suits you may be the best plan.
Other hotels[edit]
Most higher end hotels are located in Jida or Gongbei. Gongbei situated hotels are more convenient for accessing the Macau border crossing, colorful nightlife and walking around and exploring. Jida locations vary, depending on the address of the hotel as some are essentially in Gongbei, while others are well north of that and are a taxi ride from the heart of the action.
The area code for Zhuhai is 0756. When calling from overseas, dial +86 756 XXXX-XXXX

I jumped on the Taylor pantas, swift bandwagon in 2009, when I was introduced to her Muzik for the first time on school bus sejak a classmate.

It seems strange to me that it has already been so long since then, and that there are four lebih studio albums since the hari I first heard Taylor's voice. Because of this, I wanted to rank all six of her studio albums from my least kegemaran to my favorite.
The albums I will be ranking are strictly the six studio albums released as of 2018 : [i]Taylor Swift,...
[Verse 1: ZAYN]
Been sitting, eyes wide open behind these four walls hoping you'd call
It's just a cruel existence like there's no point hoping at all
[Pre-Chorus 1: ZAYN]
Baby, baby, I feel crazy, up all night, all night and every day
Give me something, oh, but anda say nothing
What is happening tonight?
[Chorus: ZAYN]
I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in pain
I know I'm probably better off on my own
Than lovin' a man who didn't know
What he had when he had it
And I see the permanent damage anda did to me
Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic
I wish it wasn't 4am, standing in the mirror
Saying to myself, anda know anda had to do it
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel anda again
But I just miss you, and I just wish anda were a better man
I like Taylor for being a role model for all of us.
She's a very ambitious women in a way that it will inspire a lot of people. I admire her for maintaining herself.What I mean is that she doesn't change from her beginning until now. And if she does, she changed for the better. And her squad is my #friendshipgoals. And I think I memorized all of her songs and many of them are my all time favorites. I cannot wait to hear her seterusnya album. And also I like the fact that she's very kind to her fans. And she is one of the hollywood artist that has the most charity donations. And my opinion on...
Okay, since I had done a lot of movie reviews and a few travelling guides. Here are a senarai of some of my favourite songs from Taylor pantas, swift herself as well as the details of the songs too and in Rawak order too.
1) Back to December
Although a very sad song, I Cinta this song and first heard it on the radio in Malaysia. This song is mostly about relationship and many had speculate that this song is about her relationship with Taylor Lautner, however I partially don't think so.
I Cinta Taylor as county.
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front kerusi, tempat duduk of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says, "Baby, is something wrong?"
I say, "Nothin', I was just thinkin' how we don't have a song"
And he said,
Our song is a slamming screen door
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone, and anda talk real slow
anda sewed the button of music
In the baju of my heart
Just like a 'TAYLOR'
And did it so 'SWIFT'
That even I couldn't recognize
When developed in my hati, tengah-tengah for you
A great love, which is growing greater.
When I was sad, your songs made me happy.
When I was low-spirited, your songs made me
get up and dance.
Be it your rocking numbers like "22" or
"I knew anda were trouble" which is so sweet.
I loved all of yours.
What do anda get the girl that has everything? A sentimental locket, of course.
Calvin Harris and Taylor pantas, swift celebrated their one-year anniversary on Sunday in the most adorable fashion – first, there was a "one-year cake," as Harris put it in a Snapchat, and then there was a special locket for Swift.
"We got a one-year cake," Harris berkata in his Snapchat shared on Sunday, menunjukkan him and the singer getting excited about their apparently homemade anniversary sweet.
Taylor pantas, swift telah diposkan a new tweet saying that "New Romantics" will be her new single.
I think the song is awesome here is the lyrics:
"We're all bored, we're all so tired of everything
We wait for trains that just aren't coming
We tunjuk off our different scarlet letters—
Trust me, mine is better
We're so young but we're on the road to ruin
We play dumb but we know exactly what we're doing
We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom
Honey, life is just a classroom

The 10-Cent GPS
We know that technology is not a panacea, that gadgetry and software are not always the right solutions for our transport problems. But how do we know – really know -- when technology is truly the wrong way to go – when, say, using an old-fashioned compass is genuinely better than a GPS?
Thanks to blogger Sebastiao Ferreira, writing for MIT's CoLab Radio, I have learned about an intriguing phenomenon in Lima, where entrepreneur data collectors, named dateros, stand with clipboards along frequented informal microbus routes, collecting data on headways, passenger counts, and vehicle occupancy levels. The microbus drivers pay dateros about 10-cents per instant update, and they use the information to adjust their driving speed. For example, if there is a full bus only a minute ahead of the driver's vehicle, the driver will slow down, hoping to collect more passengers further down the route. In informal transit systems, where drivers' incomes are directly tied to passenger counts, paying dateros is a good investment (Photo from MIT CoLab Radio).
If you think about it, use of dateros could be more efficient than traditional schedule or GPS-based dispatch, because the headways are dynamically and continuously updated to optimize the number of passengers transported at any given time of day. According to Jeff Warren (a DIY cartography pioneer), the dateros have been praised as the "natural database, an 'informal bank' of transportation optimization data."
Does this little-known practice call into question our traditional prescription for high-tech solutions to bus dispatch?

Lord of the Dance is a magical musical, based on Irish folk music and dancing. The performance is created, choreographed, and produced by the Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley. Ronan Hardiman composes the original soundtrack. The dance director of the production is Marie Duffy Pask.
For several years Michael Flatley took a starring role. He also had creative roles and starred in three additional spectacular shows - Riverdance, Feet of Flames and Celtic Tiger.
The story of Lord of the Dance is about the fight against the evil lord Don Dorcha from taking over the Planet Ireland. The second plot follows the fate of Saoirse, the Irish Cail�n. She fights for the love of the Lord of the Dance against the wicked Morrighan, the Temptress. Incredibly good dancers represent this fascinating story. The traditional Irish dance is performed with the upper body quite still and with their arms down by the side. The entire choreography is based on a much-accelerated style of Irish dance. This brings an enormous energy and connection between the dancers and the audience.
Lord of the Dance premiered at The Point Theatre in Dublin on July 2, 1996. After several weeks the production began a four week sell-out run of performances at the Coliseum Theatre in London. In March 1997, the unique dance show moved to America and ran thirteen consecutive sell-out shows at New York's prestigious Radio City Music Hall. The big success for the production came after performing at the 69th Academy Awards Ceremony in Hollywood before the global television audience. Since then, over 50 million people in 60 different countries have seen the live performances of Lord of the Dance. There are currently two Lord of the Dance troupes, touring the globe - one within North America, and one touring worldwide. It has been recognized as the world's highest grossing dance show, selling in excess of $500,000,000 worth of tickets.

Feeding the birds is a popular pastime, especially in winter when we're itching for spring.
Bringing different bird species into the yard helps us to enjoy the outdoors without actually having to go out!
Different birds need different blends of bird seed. PET VALU stores carry foods for specific types of bird, feeder types and other options to help you attract a variety of birds to your home.
A diet of all seeds may not be healthy for your domestic birds, as seeds are high in fat, but it's less of a worry for wild birds. With bird feeders and seed mixes we are simply supplementing the wild bird's diet. They have other diet options such as worms and insects which combined with the seeds we offer, are part of a well balanced diet.
Many people feed bread to birds, especially ducks and geese, but bread is low in protein and contains salt which is not good for birds. If birds eat too much bread they might eat less protein which could create an unbalanced diet for them. It's best to avoid feeding bread, or any other processed 'human' foods, to birds. Better still, you can give suet to wild birds, even in the summer.
Suet is fed to birds often in the winter months out of fear that it will melt in the summer. Pet Valu stores sell suet that has been rendered and is therefore more stable than suet from a local butcher. It's best to keep suet out of direct sunlight and put out smaller amounts at a time, but it's still viable in summer.
Wild Bird Seed
Oil Based Seeds and Ingredients
Typically these seeds are higher in protein and fat. Birds require protein for cell development and maintenance and fats for energy, just like any other animal. During the winter months, this is especially important because they need energy to simply maintain body weight.
- Sunflower Most popular oil seed. Virtually every bird and small animal loves the taste of these seeds. Black seeds offer higher fat content than striped. The shell of the black seed is thinner than the striped, and this allows the bird to crack it easily. Striped seed is generally less expensive.
- Safflower White in colour. This seed is not popular with all birds, and is generally passed over by squirrels. Although generally more expensive, many people choose this seed because the feeder is not overrun with less desirable birds and animals. A favorite with Cardinals.
- Nyjer (Niger) (Thistle) Derives from a variety of the thistle plant, it is a small black seed that grows in tropical areas such as India, Indonesia and Africa. It is highly desired by smaller birds such as finches.
- Peanuts A good source of vegetable protein and fat. Shelled peanuts and peanut hearts make a fine addition in a mix intended for birds that feed above ground. All peanuts are well liked by squirrels. Note: The peanut products we sell are unsalted, which are easier for birds to digest. They should not be fed roasted, salted peanuts for humans as the salt is unnatural for birds and increases their water consumption.
- Other oil seeds less often found in seed mixes include flax, hemp, poppy, pumpkin, rape, and sesame.
Grain Based Seeds and Ingredients
These seeds are much higher in carbohydrates and significantly lower in fat and protein than oil based seeds. They're more popular with the larger birds. Smaller birds need proportionally more fats and proteins in their diet and will typically choose not to "fill up" on the high carb meal.
- Millet We typically offer the white and red proso. Some birds love them. It is easier to take the shell off this seed, and get to "the meat" than most other seeds.
- Milo Usually red or white in color. Also known as Kafir corn. Grown in Mid-West North America.
- Canary From canary grass which grows in the prairies. Enjoyed by most small birds and platform feeders.
- Corn A good source of protein and carbs for those birds that will eat it. Most popular with doves and pigeons.
Other cereal grains less often found in seed mixes include buckwheat, oats and wheat.

Simmonds scores twice, Flyers beat Oilers in SONHL.com @NHLdotcom
EDMONTON -- Ilya Bryzgalov did his best to pull one out against his former team but fell short in the Philadelphia Flyers' 4-3 shootout victory against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night at Rexall Place.
Bryzgalov made 35 saves and was the main reason the Oilers were able to earn a point in the loss.
Michael Raffl scored the shootout winner for the Flyers, who got their other goal in the tiebreaker from Claude Giroux. Bryzgalov stopped Vincent Lecavalier on Philadelphia's first attempt.
Jordan Eberle scored in the shootout for the Oilers. David Perron and Sam Gagner missed.
"[Bryzgalov] played unreal. I'm sure he wanted to play well," Oilers forward Taylor Hall said. "It's not an easy circumstance to play a team that you used to play against and you used to wear their jersey. I couldn't imagine coming in and playing like that. We're proud of him. We're happy to have him."
The Flyers bought out Bryzgalov in the offseason, two seasons into a nine-year, $51 million contract.
Bryzgalov kept the Oilers in the game on Saturday, particularly in the second period when the Flyers outshot Edmonton 14-3 while battling back from a two-goal deficit.
Hall opened the scoring on the first shift of the game, 32 seconds in, intercepting a Braydon Coburn pass in front of the Flyers net and beating goalie Steve Mason from in tight. Mason made 13 saves through 65 minutes and two more in the shootout.
Nugent-Hopkins increased the lead at 4:02, beating defenseman Mark Streit on the rush and firing a shot through Mason.
"I knew they were not going to quit," Bryzgalov said. "I knew what was coming. I knew they were going to play hard and they were going to get lots of pucks to the net. That's the style they play, aggressive. Playing back-to-back nights after three days off, it's not easy. I think we battled through and tried our best. It's great to get the point."
The Oilers were coming off a 2-0 win against the Calgary Flames on Friday.
But after taking a two-goal lead Saturday, they were hemmed in their own zone for the majority of the second period.
Wayne Simmonds scored his first of two power-play goals at 3:37, tipping a Giroux point shot past Bryzgalov. He tied the game with another power-play goal at 12:13, finishing off an exceptional cross-ice pass from Jakub Voracek.
The Flyers' right wing had the puck bounce to him at the faceoff circle and spotted Simmonds alone at the side of the net for an easy tap-in.
"We've had [Bryzgalov] the last two years, and I thought he played a really good game," Simmonds said. "We just had to keep crashing the net, and we had a couple of nice goals in that shootout. It was nice to get the two points."
Saturday was Simmonds' third consecutive two-goal game, making him the first Philadelphia player to achieve that feat since Reggie Leach in 1981.
"Obviously, it has been a good stretch for me," Simmonds said. "It's been even better that the team has been starting to win and piling up the two points most nights. It feels good. I've just been getting the bounces."
In the third, David Perron gave the Oilers the lead on the power play at 11:52, banking a centering pass into the net off Flyers defenseman Nicklas Grossmann. It was Perron's 100th NHL goal.
Scott Hartnell tied the game on the power play at 14:28, tipping a Kimmo Timonen point shot past Bryzgalov.
"It's a really good win," Flyers coach Craig Berube said. "I felt really good about our team, even after their second goal went in, just the way they acted on the bench. They were confident they could come back and didn't get down. That's what it is all about. They knew they were going to get their opportunities, and it ended up working out tonight."
Perron had a great chance to put the Oilers back in front on a breakaway with a little more than two minutes left in regulation but was stopped by Mason, who got a piece of a backhand shot and redirected it off the goal post.
Both teams were tentative in overtime, with neither generating a clear-cut opportunity.
"I thought we came out well. I thought Philadelphia was sluggish and they got better as the game went on," Oilers coach Dallas Eakins said. "We've had our challenges in back-to-back games, and I felt we were basically holding on by a thread in the second period.
"I thought [Bryzgalov] held us in the game, especially in the second when we were not a very good team."
Saturday was the first of a six-game road trip for the Flyers, who visit the Vancouver Canucks on Monday.
The Oilers will take on the Phoenix Coyotes on Tuesday in the first of a three-game road trip.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A series of Palestinian attacks against Israelis occurred in and around Jerusalem over the weekend, a clear reminder that the tension-wracked capital remains ready to explode despite relative calm in recent months.
On Sunday evening, a bus traveling from Jerusalem to a Jewish community just north of the city was damaged in a Palestinian stone-throwing attacks. Because the stones managed to penetrate the bulletproof glass, it was at first reported as a shooting attacks.
Also on the outskirts of Jerusalem, Israeli security forces in at least three separate incidents caught would-be Arab assailants in possession of pipe bombs.
Earlier on Sunday, an Arab man assaulted a Jew in the capital's Givat Shaul neighborhood, according to Israel National News. The attack resulted in a riot that saw dozens of Jews and Arabs face off in violent confrontation.
Near the Old City, police officers sent to demolish two illegally built Arab structures were attacked by a mob, and one officer sustained light injuries.
South of Jerusalem, in the Judean town of Hebron, Arab stone-throwers attacked a kindergarten in Hebron's main Jewish enclave.
Israeli security officials have noted a significant rise in the number of attacks in and around Jerusalem in recent months, both armed attacks and "popular" attacks, which means the assailants use Molotov cocktails and stones instead of guns and knives.

Playing lusty (and topless) Sylvia in Jamon, Jamon and virginal Luz in Belle Epoque allowed her to show her range in 1992. In 1997, she connected with director/frequent collaborator Pedro Almodovar for the first time for Live Flesh. She also starred in All About My Mother, which won the director Best Foreign Picture in 2000, and 2006's Volver, a role which allowed her to become the first Spanish Best Actress nominee. In 1998, a year before she won a Goya (Spanish Academy Award), she exported herself and landed her first American film, The Hi-Lo Country, which was quickly followed by Woman On Top, All The Pretty Horses, Vanilla Sky, Blow and Sahara. She won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 2009 for her spirited scene-stealer in Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona and the Academy recognized her with a nomination in the same category the following year for the musical Nine.

Know Your Customer
We've always been fascinated by the phenomenon of popularity. What causes customers to flock to one brand while remaining coldly indifferent to another – even when the offerings of the companies in question are similar?
Years of consumer research have revealed that the single most important factor that separated the good companies from the great companies, is the ability to know about the customer better.
That is the starting point
Dominant organizations, we've learned, are those that can discern meaning from the information given. They're doing more than listening. They're hearing, and they're choosing their direction from what they hear.
How, exactly, does that work? Please read on….
Cardinal Rules of Advertising
Know Your Customer
This could be called the first law of Advertising
Know Your Customer … Better than they know themselves
This could be called the Secret Law of Advertising
Customers Don't Know Why They Buy
This might be deemed the problem with conventional market analysis.
Don't Ask Why, Observe!
If customers don't know why they buy then how do we discover why? Jane Goodall became a primate expert. She essentially moved in close proximity with a troupe of chimpanzees and lived with them for years. She watched chimps grow up, grow old and die. She unraveled the rich social life of chimpanzees and how it affected their behavior. Humans are vastly more complex than chimpanzees. It takes more than an anthropology study to grasp the mechanisms at play when it comes to human behavior.
Most of the Human Experience is Below Conscious Radar
The Landscape of the Subconscious is much, much bigger than the Conscious realm. Human behavior is a dynamic interplay of the conscious/subconscious. This is one criticial reason that Advertising has become well versed in the science of the subconscious.
Human Behaviour is Primarily Social
The evolution of human beings is fundamentally the story of social systems. Virtually all human behavior is socially driven or has social implications.
Where We Live Matters … and it is Changing!
In Advertising, we understand that human behavior is complex and highly reactive. We also understand that the world is in a state of flux and the old rules don't apply. To understand the customer you have to look at the environment they operate in.
Why Advertising is Different from Selling?
To know the customer requires a deep grasp of human behavior, the subconscious mind as well as the marketplace. Taking this information and extrapolating the deeper themes of the mind of your customer and using it to create a more compelling customer experience is what Advertising is all about.
The Last Word
Hence, preparing ourselves to listen deeply and intently to our customers puts us in a position where we can learn an awful lot about them. Please read our advertising blogs regularly. I am sure, these insights, tips & tricks will be very useful for your business.
That's it for now!
Thank you.

Congratulations! Mad Men won for Best Drama and Best Writing. Yet another reason to start watching. Like, now!
I actually took notes on the fashions, but there wasn't really much to say. Everyone pretty much played it safe. The only looks I hated were Jennifer Love Hewett, Eva Longoria, and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, but even they weren't really *that* bad. (I can't even find a pic of JLD)
Whatever happened to the days when celebrities dressed up as swans or wore dresses made out of gold cards?
My favorite moments:
Tina Fey's multiple wins. . . and her exchange with Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet:
Tina: Thanks for not asking me about Sarah Palin
Ryan: Oh, I was told not to
Tina: Really? Well, thanks…
Ryan: So… have you talked to her?
Tina: No (visibly uncomfortable)
Ryan: Would you? Like, would you have a drink with her?
Tina: Well, maybe if she's free in November. Maybe then I'd have a drink with her.
Ryan: (oblivious to the "free in November" reference) HA HA. Great talking to you.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Ryan Seacrest is a total douche. The interview was uncomfortable hilarity at it's best. I can't find this on YouTube yet, but I'll put it up when/if I do.
Josh Grobin's Tribute to TV theme songs
It was great in a schmaltzy cruise-ship kind of way!
Anything with Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert
They both won, which was good. And they were gracious and funny towards one another. My fave lines:
Stephen: And I really want to thank Jon Stewart. But he won't let me. Seriously, man, change your mind!
Jon: I'm looking forward to the next administration, whoever it is. I've got nothing else. I'm really looking forward to the next administration, whoever it is.
Old.. I mean REALLY OLD stars
As cheesy as it was, it was kinda nice to see some of the old-school TV stars there.
I was especially impressed with the honorary Emmy they gave to Tommy Smothers of the Smothers Brothers. He voluntarily left himself off the list of writers back in the 60s because his material was too controversial. His writing staff (including Steve Martin) won that year, so they decided to award him a "commemorative" Emmy this year.
It was also fun to see Betty White. And Don Rickles w/Kathy Griffin. And the Laugh-in thing. Kinda cheesy, but also kinda fun. Way better than the "bits" the hosts did. What was up with Jeff Probst and that Dragnet costume? Lame-O!
Other than that, it was your run-of-the-mill boring Award show. I don't even watch half of the shows that are nominated. Lost was completely shut out and I really, really, really wish that Jon Hamm would've won in the Best Actor category.
In Other TV News…
I also watched Entourage and America's Next Top Model during the Emmys. Entourage was better than it's been in a *long* time. The scene with Ari and the cops had me laughing out loud and I actually cheered when Ari bitch-slapped Davies.
I was kinda bummed that Jeremy Piven won again at the Emmy's, but the Ari-centered episodes really are the best.
ANTM was just okay: Makeover challenge, make-up challenge and swimsuit photo shoot. We've seen it all before. It was sorta interesting to watch Isis, the tranny model, try to "work" her bikini though.
Watch Mad Men. Do it!

Little is known and until recently, little has been heard about a clandestine group of special op soldiers known as the Navy SEALS. However, in Seaside Heights at the end of the month, you can meet some of its veterans and become intimately acquainted with some of the rigorous training exercises they faced. That's when the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware Navy SEAL Foundation Chapter will be hosting the Navy SEAL Challenge Tri-event.
Local Foundation Chapter Coordinator Paul Wnek, who's a former Navy SEAL, says the two-day event that runs from Saturday September 29th and Sunday September 30th will feature three challenges that include a beach front obstacle course with 20 to 30 obstacles, a run-swim-run event with wet suits and a 5k boardwalk run challenge.
Wnek says he originally planned to hold the Navy SEAL Challenge as one-day event but was encouraged by Seaside Officials and the business community to hold it as a weekend event as a way to say thank you to members of the armed forces.
Wnek says he'll be bringing fellow Navy SEAL Veterans with him but is also encouraging other Members of the military to attend. "We're going to the tri-base area Lakehurst, McGuire, Fort Dix and asking the soldiers to come out and just be with us for the weekend to say thank you."
Wnek says there will also be awards, promotions and give-aways to participants.

You can also donate to the Navy Seal Foundation at: The Navy SEAL Chapter, 391 Aldo Drive, Toms River, NJ 08753
Information provided by Navy SEAL Foundation, says the foundation "provides assistance in many meaningful ways. If an active-duty member is injured or dies in combat, the Foundation helps the family with everything from memorial services to arranging transportation for family members who live far away. In addition, the Foundation also hosts special events that bring families together and recognizes scholastic achievements through scholarships and educational assistance to active-duty personnel, their spouses and children.

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox have decisions to make and plenty of time to make them.
After tying for the best record in the majors, they don't play until Friday night when they host the opener of the AL division series.
Should they keep 11 pitchers in the best-of-five series? Or can they get by with just 10 and give the other spot to a spare outfielder. And what will be their rotation?
"We've got some decisions to make," manager John Farrell said, "and we've got probably beginning Tuesday morning to look at that more intently and get down to the number that we're going to arrive at on Friday."
The Red Sox won't know their opponent until Wednesday night's wild-card game in Cleveland between the Indians and the winner of Monday night's AL tiebreaker between the Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers. The opponent could affect the roster composition, Farrell said, but not the rotation.
Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz and John Lackey all had strong seasons and figure to pitch the first three games in some order. Jake Peavy is the fourth starter and the bullpen will have six or seven pitchers, anchored by closer Koji Uehara. He's allowed one earned run and 12 hits in his last 40 1/3 innings and has shown an ability to pitch more than one inning.
"We're certainly willing to go more than a three-out save. There might be a six-out save," Farrell said. "Hopefully, we're positioned with a lead in the eighth inning that we can turn to him again."
The Red Sox took Monday off after finishing the regular season with their second straight loss, 7-6 at Baltimore. They plan three days of workouts, including a simulated game on Wednesday.
That they're in the postseason for the first time in four years seemed unlikely when the season started.
They were 69-93 in Bobby Valentine's only year as manager, a winning percentage of .426 that was their worst since 1965. Valentine was fired, Farrell was hired and several free agents produced after signing short-term contracts. The result: a 97-65 record and a .599 percentage that is Boston's best since 2004, when it won the World Series for the first time in 86 years.
"We were missing being in the playoffs the last couple of years," star slugger David Ortiz said, "and especially after what happened last year, and to be in the situation that we're in right now, I'm so excited."
Ortiz led the Red Sox with 30 homers, 103 RBIs and a .309 batting average. The offense was balanced with Daniel Nava hitting .303, Dustin Pedroia .301, Jacoby Ellsbury .298 and Shane Victorino .294.
They were first in the majors in runs, slugging percentage and on-base percentage, second in batting average and third in walks. And they never lost more than three games in a row.
Ellsbury led the majors with 52 stolen bases despite being sidelined late in the season with a foot injury. But he played in three of the last four games and said he was ready to go.
"I'll treat it like the All-Star break," he said of the four days between games. "My timing and everything felt good after that. It shouldn't be any different, and for a lot of guys it'll be a good thing."
Lackey had plenty of time off last year — the whole season, in fact — when he was recovering from ligament surgery in his right elbow. He was one of Boston's best starters this season with a 3.52 ERA. But he got little run support and finished at 10-13.
Like his team, he heard plenty of cheers instead of jeers.
"To hear games now where he walks off the mound to a standing ovation, that probably hasn't been the case for a few years," Farrell said. "And I think, in some ways, it mirrors what this whole team has gone through from year to year."

HIV Testing
July 23, 2014
Are the Test Results Confidential?
You can be tested anonymously in many places. You do not have to give your name when you are tested at a public health office, or when you receive the test results. You can be tested anonymously for HIV as many times as you want.
If you get a positive HIV test that is not anonymous, or if you get any medical services for HIV infection, your HIV infection may be reported to the Department of Health and counted in statistical reports.
How Accurate Are the Tests?
Antibody test results for HIV are accurate more than 99.5% of the time. Before you get the results, the test has usually been done two or more times. The first test is called an "EIA" or "ELISA" test. Before a positive ELISA test result is reported, it is confirmed by another test called a "Western Blot." This is why home test kits cannot tell you if you have HIV infection. The sample you collect must be tested by a laboratory.
Some special cases can give false or unclear results:
In unusual cases, HIV test results can be unclear of "indeterminate." Another blood sample is taken for additional testing.
The Bottom Line
HIV testing generally looks for HIV antibodies in the blood, or saliva or urine. The immune system produces these antibodies to fight HIV. It usually takes two to three months for them to show up. In very rare cases, it can take longer than three months. During this "window period" you may not test positive for HIV even if you are infected. Normal HIV tests don't work for newborn children of HIV-infected mothers.
In many places, you can get tested anonymously for HIV. Home HIV tests are also available. Once you test positive and start to receive health care for HIV infection, your name may be reported to the Department of Health. These records are kept confidential.
A positive test result does not mean that you have AIDS. If you test positive, you should learn more about HIV and decide how to take care of your health.

Here's the headline:
The Hill:
Supreme Court strikes down campaign finance restrictions
"The Supreme Court struck down major provisions of campaign finance reform on Thursday, clearing the way for an influx of corporate and union money in politics.
The court upheld disclosure requirements for corporations but struck down the distinction between individual expenditures and corporate ones. That should allow corporations to spend freely in support or opposition to candidates.
'No sufficient governmental interest justifies limits on the political speech of nonprofit or for-profit corporations,' Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the 5-4 decision, led by the court's conservative wing."
Live Coverage:
And SCOTUSblog is covering developments on this story with live updates (Hat tip: Instapundit).
HotAir.com has some great analysis here:
"In the first challenges to the BCRA (McCain-Feingold), the earlier court appeared to accept the notion that one has to break a few First Amendment eggs to get a clean-elections omelette. This court has apparently decided that Congress should amend the First Amendment if it has grown tired of it, rather than pass laws that contradict it. The fact that only five of the nine justices could reach that rather obvious conclusion shows how much judicial activism and Congressional overreach have in common — especially the sense that they can manipulate clear boundaries of power for whatever end they seek."
...and an answer to the concern that the Supreme Court ruling will corrupt our campaign process with corporate money:
"Will this open the floodgates to corporate and union money in elections? Well, it never really left. The restrictions in the BCRA and other campaign-finance 'reforms' just forced the money into less-transparent channels, creating mini-industries of money laundering in politics. This ruling will just allow the money to be seen for what it is, rather than hiding behind PR-spin PAC names and shadowy contribution trails."
Transparency = Real Campaign Finance Reform
They've got the right idea at the Liberty Papers:
As I've said many times before, the only campaign finance regulation that we need is full and complete disclosure.
EXACTLY! Transparency. You know? That thing that Obama promised we'd get, but that we've actually had less of during his year in office? (Which is a remarkable feat considering how much transparency suffered under Bush's onslaught.)
One More Stick In McCain's Eye
I do love Michelle Malkin's jab here: "Yet another reminder of how wrong-headed McCain has been on so many, many issues." Yup. Go get him, Chris Simcox!

Latest Updates in the Online Casino Industry
Bitcoin's rise gave way to the unexpected popularity of online casinos. They are now competing head to head with land-based or brick and mortar casinos in terms of revenue. The main advantage of these highly modernized casinos is the convenience it gives to players; they can bet at the comfort of their own homes, without traveling for miles just to get to Vegas or New Jersey. Also, the change in the laws of some countries and states allowed greater freedom for online casinos to operate. Add the benefits of Bitcoin to the equation and you wouldn't have to worry about anything related to governments and hackers. Bitcoin is decentralized and allows anonymity so you can enjoy peer-to-peer transactions, or in this case, person-to-operators transactions without giving away personal information.
This continuous popularity of online Bitcoin casinos is flocking the internet and media outlets. Bitcoin casino news can be accessed with a swipe of your fingertips. At this very moment, however, the latest news and updates in the online casino industry are as follows:
Online casinos are top contributors to UK'S gambling revenue
The UK Gambling Commission released the total revenue of its casino industry from April 2016 to March 2017. The biannual report revealed that casino products constitute the 56% remote gambling revenues of the UK with £2.6 billion Gross Gambling Yield (GGY). This means that online casinos, together with their massive collection of games and Bitcoin-exclusivity contributed to a big percentage of UK'S gambling revenue.
The creation of Bitcoin Cash for gambling
If you've been reading Bitcoin casino news lately, you may have heard of this new innovative product. The hard fork of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, is slowly penetrating the market of online gambling. It is bigger and better than what Bitcoin can offer but don't forget that it started and created with the original Bitcoin. This new currency is superior in terms of transaction speed and Blockchain's size. It still promotes peer-to-peer electronic transaction but it now features 8MB blocksize limit that can allow 28-34 transactions per second or almost two million transactions per day.
New Jersey's online and land-based casinos are soaring high
The state, New Jersey, is well-known for its casinos. When online gambling was legalized in 2013, the place has become a safe haven for casino lovers and operators who wish to make profit through Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Add the revenue of land-based casinos to the picture and you will see the massive success of New Jersey. The online gambling market revenue garnered $20.75m in December 2017.

Ok. So it looks like a bolted rack should be ok so long as it moves smoothly with the ground motions. On the other hand a bunch of computers loosely restrained on shelves might or might not exceed these limits when they bounce off the shelving sides or the back wall. Ditto for a desktop computer. These collisions are going to be more elastic than inelastic but there is some give in all of the materials so the peak Gs even in that case probably won't exceed that limit. Unless of course one falls off the shelf and onto the concrete floor... Thanks, David Mathog mathog at caltech.edu Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech
