The Moto G was originally announced in November of 2013 and since then, it has become the company's best selling budget smartphone. The sole reason why this phone turned out to be a success was because of its awesome price-to-performance ratio and of course, stock Android. Now Motorola may be getting ready to unveil its 3rd generation Moto G this month.
According to Brazillian site Tecmundo, they have received word from a source indicating the announcement date for the 3rd generation Moto G to be July 28th. Specs for the phone include a 5-inch 720p display, 1.4 GHz Snapdragon 410 SoC, 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage for the lower end model and 2GB of RAM with 16GB of internal for the higher end model.
The 3rd gen model will also come with a IPx7 water resistance rating making the rumoured $179 US price point very appealing.

Federer Fans, I suppose we can take comfort in the fact that Federer has currently won 10 more matches at the Year End Tournament in his career than Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray combined.
Today was a good sign for Federer frankly. You still feel like he's going to have enough of these types of situations to win some more hardware. I mean he just pushed Djokovic 1.5 to his limit; Djoke was extremely focused and was on a mission. Expect more battles like this in 2013.
I still need a day or 2 to digest this loss but overall I'm extremely happy with Federer's 2012 season. Damn, really though he would win today against Djokovic! Can't win them all, unfortunately.
None of this Djokovic 1.5 nonsense. He was as clutch as I've ever seen a tennis player, and he was ridiculously good on defense. With Federer dictating most of the points, it makes sense that he wouldn't have as many chances for winners. As for the random stat, I can't say Fed fans will take any solace with that. What they should be focusing on is how much better he played today than in any other match since the start of the fall.
Exactly. Federer lost a close one today, even if it was straight sets. Rather lose a close one at the WTF than in the AO/RG/W/USO SF/F. I'm extremely happy that Federer made the final in the first place.
i wish it would have gone to a third set tiebreaker. i felt after the way fed bounced back it was destined to be a third set thriller. alas, we had to settle for an exciting straight set affair would have been happy for either man winning.
A 7th title (and tying McEnro with 77 career titles) would have been the ice on the 2012 cake, but I'm pretty happy with what he achieved this year, still seen him winning big titles was great !!! I'm trying not to be too disapointed tonight – All in all, Djoko earned the title, and as the YE#1 he deserved it. –
Federer/Djokovic matches almost always come down to a couple big points. This was one of those - Federer takes the first set, he's probably the champion.
Some of you Fedards need to chill out or be banned. The amount of nonsense you spew on that match thread was just pathetic. I actually think some of you don't like Fed, just root for him because you don't like a certain Djokovic or Murray.
IDK bout you guys but this is by far the most crushing loss of 2012 for me. Sheesh. I don't even care bout 2013, I wanted Roger to win this sooo bad, he deserved it,the great man is FREAKING 31 FFS!. An anticlimax but still TAKE A BOW MAESTRO!
Not for me. Actually one of the few Federer losses I enjoyed as a match. I was disappointed, but the OG final was more disappointing, and the AO loss destroyed a piece of me. After that run at the end of 2011 and his solid play in the first set, I really thought he could win, but he blew it by not taking his chances, as he so often does against Rafa.

Curtains and Window Treatments
Curtains can shield your home from the sun, enhance your d cor, and even help you save on your heating and cooling bills. When buying curtains, it's important to measure your windows properly and consider what fabric best meets your needs.
To determine what size curtain to buy, measure the length and the width of your window. For a traditional style, measure the length of the window including the frame and add nine inches to get the length of your curtains, then measure the width and multiply by 1.5 to get the curtains' width. For a contemporary style, which hangs just above the floor, measure your curtains from one inch above the floor to six inches above the top of your window frame. Shop for curtains that are the same length as your measurement and 1.5 times the width of your window. For a fancier style that almost touches the ceiling and hangs on the floor, measure from the ceiling to the floor and add at least eight inches to get the curtains' length, then multiply your window's width by three to get the curtains' width.
Cotton is a popular fabric for curtains because it's easy to clean and maintain. Sheer curtains are good for letting in light, while energy-efficient thermal drapes are good for maximizing privacy and keeping in heat. Vinyl curtains also offer privacy, making them a good choice for bedrooms and bathrooms.

Hitler's Pope : The Secret History of Pius XII Paperback
by John Cornwell
Backed by a wealth of new research, John Cornwell tells for the first time the story of the World War II career of Eugenio Pacelli, the man who was Pope Pius XII, arguably the most dangerous churchman in modern history.
In the first decade of the century, as a brilliant young Vatican lawyer, Pacelli helped shape a new ideology of unprecedented papal power in Germany.
In 1933 Hitler became his negotiating partner, an agreement was arranged that granted religious and financial payments to the Catholic Church in exchange for their withdrawal from social and political privillage, ensuring the rise of Nazism.

Review by JBD1
A reasonably persuasive case for the involvement (and/or tacit complicity) of Pius XII with the Nazi regime and the Holocaust.
Review by ecw0647
The beatification process has begun to make Pius XII (Eugenio Pacelli) a saint. Aside from whatever we might think about how saints are created by the church as an institution, I suspect everyone would agree that any saint should have a reasonably spotless reputation.

John Henry Newman, a famous British convert to Catholicism in the eighteenth century, once wrote that "It is not good for a Pope to live twenty years. It is an anomaly and bears no good fruit; he becomes a god, has no one to contradict him, does not know facts, and does cruel things without meaning it." The papacy alters a man's consciousness. He becomes a solitary individual. Paul VI recognized this solitude and penned a note to himself that described this loneliness and power, "assume every responsibility for guiding others, even when it seems illogical and perhaps absurd. And to suffer alone. . . Me and God."

Cornwell, aware of the rumors surrounding Pius's actions during WWII with regard to the Jewish problem in Germany, decided to do the definitive research into these accusations. He was given unprecedented access to Vatican files. He was sure that Pius would be vindicated. What he discovered surprised and saddened him. The secret files revealed a man obsessed with power who maneuvered with Hitler and the German Catholic Church in such a way that helped to bring Hitler to power. It's important to remember that the papacy as we know it today is very different from that which preceded the nineteenth century. It is an invention. Prior to the rise of almost instant world-wide communication, power was distributed through great councils and a hierarchy that left much discretion to local control. It was "more a final court of appeal than a uniquely initiating autocracy."

Pacelli played a key role in strengthening the central authority of the papacy. This was in part a reaction to the oppression the Catholic Church had suffered at the hands of the state in the early nineteenth century. There was also a struggle between those who urged more central authority for the pope and those who were anxious to decentralize and distribute more authority to the bishops. The centralists won at the First Vatican Council of 1870 when the pope was declared "infallible" in matters of faith and morals and the undisputed leader of the church. Pacelli, as a Vatican lawyer, played a substantial role in redrafting the Church's laws in such a way as to grant future popes "unchallenged domination." The Code of Canon Law was initiated in 1917 and distributed to Catholic clergy. Pacelli received special dispensation to study at home for his seminary training. Ostensibly, this was because of his nervous stomach's inability to handle seminary food. Whatever the case, the influence of his mother remained very strong.

Following his ordination, he began work on his doctorate, studying with the Jesuits. This was at the time of the Dreyfus trials in France, and— despite his subsequent pardon and evidence of innocence—Jesuit publications continued to warn of the dangers of Jews: "wherever Jews had been granted citizenship the outcome had been the ruination of Christians." Anti-Semitism had a long history in the Catholic Church, and it was the sixteenth century pope Paul IV who instituted the ghetto and required Jews to wear a distinctive yellow badge.

In the 1920s, Germany had one of the largest — and best-educated — Catholic populations in the world. As papal nuncio, it was Pacelli's role to create a pact between the German state and the Church, a pact resisted by Protestants and many Catholics who believed his vision was too authoritarian. Pacelli remained pro-German all his life. He failed to publicly condemn any of the mass killings the Germans had begun. Even the slaughter of Catholic priests in Poland and the handicapped under the euthanasia program were never condemned. Cornwell shows that Pacelli was Hitler's best ally. Despite appeals from many, including some top German commanders in Italy, he refused to condemn Hitler's acts, self-righteously concluding that Hitler was preferable to Stalin since Hitler was willing to pay lip service to Christianity. In return, Pius XII received full control of the Church in Germany. Cornwell documents how Pacelli had been fully informed of the "persecution unleashed against the Jews at the very point when he was to enter into substantive negotiations for a concordat with its perpetrators." Hitler even justified the concordat by suggesting that it would be "especially significant in the urgent struggle against international Jewry."

It is unclear whether Pacelli understood the wider implications of his diplomatic maneuvers that led to Hitler's supremacy, but he supported Hitler to the very end, sending Hitler his personal congratulations following the unsuccessful bomb assassination attempt in 1939. His failure to condemn the persecution of the Jews rendered Hitler invaluable aid. Cornwell's ultimate judgment of Pacelli is that his life was a "fatal combination of high spiritual aspirations in conflict with soaring ambitions for power and control. . . not a portrait of evil but of fatal moral dislocation – a separation of authority from Christian love. The consequences of that rupture were collusion with tyranny and ultimately violence."

Anti-Semitism alone does not explain Pacelli's silence, although clearly he regarded the Jews as a contemporary as well as ancient enemy of his church. He placed papal power and the accumulation of even more power to the papacy as the highest value. Cornwell answers in the affirmative to the question he poses, "Was there something in the modern ideology of papal power that encouraged the Holy See to acquiesce in the face of Hitler's evil, rather than oppose it?"

The move to beatify Pius XII should come to a screeching halt. The sanctification of someone whose moral authority has been documented to be considerably less than holy would render the entire concept of sainthood as meaningless if not foolish – if it isn't already. If Pius were to be beatified, his policies would be confirmed, "endorsing the modern ideology of papal power and justifying Pacelli's wartime record."

Location Beautiful gardens - flowers Sound of the ocean They putting on a new roof - construction started too early and included our deck and deck chairs. Deck chairs were taken away and at one point plywood sheets leaned against our sliding glass patio door. They told us about the construction when we checked in but said we would not be bothered. There is however a new roof for future guest. We also wished the windows and the sliding glass doors had screens so we could open the windows and not worry about bugs or critters.
The proximity to town is wonderful. The gardens on the property are also lovely. My guess is that the property is just too much to maintain (the place is huge). The room was dark and smelled of mold. The wifi also did not work!!! I couldn't sleep a wink here. Done tv show was filmed here 20 years ago and the hill house has not updated since then. Not worth the money. For $20 more my companion and I went to a much nicer place with beach views and a fireplace the next night.
Location- walking distance to Mendocino. The staff was nice. The beds were bad and the wi-fi was terrible.
Beds could be more comfortable, and the remote didn't work in our room. The sliding door to our patio was very difficult to open but the space was large and the property was peaceful.
We had a wonderful stay at the hill house, if I could change one thing though it would be the odor of the room. It smelled as if a poopy diaper had been lost somewhere in the room. We looked everywhere and couldn't locate the source.
Room w balcony and view of ocean
The room was beautiful. Very modern, clean, well laid out and comfortable. Staff was welcoming, helpful and efficient. Wait staff for both meals were friendly, well-informed. Food was very good and reasonably priced. The grounds were not as well kept up. There used to be a lovely "green garden" open to the public showing their home grown produce. I miss the unplugged feeling--no phone, etc. Everything was so luxurious but the towels in the bathroom were unraveling. When I I told the front desk, and showed them the picture, their reaction was underwhelming.
I arrived at the Heritage House Resort for a romantic Valentines weekend with my girlfriend. Booked 2 nights over 1 month prior and even was going to have Valentines dinner at their restaurant. Upon arrival checking in was slow and we had to wait for mandatory Bell Service to take us to the room...we waited over 30minutes in the lobby . They proceeded to take us through the restaurant, up a back staircase, and to a room above the restaurant. The room was very old, it smelled, wallpaper peeling off the wall, the chairs were stained, the bathroom had two faucets (one for hot water and one for cold), and the carpet had stains...VERY GROSS ROOM! I felt like is this a joke by putting me in the creepy haunted room. I paid for a upgraded room with fireplace, not an old room with a wall heater. I went to the front desk to get another room and of course they were sold out and there was nothing that could be done. The hotel said the room automatically was assigned when I booked and it is just "luck of the draw". This was not acceptable and it was a bait and switch since I booked via Kayak vs directly with their hotel. The only nice thing that happened is they refunded my money immediately and the front desk, Evan, helped us by finding a bed and breakfast nearby for us to stay...however it was only available one night and our long weekend away turned into a short trip with lots of driving for nothing since all hotels were booked for Valentines night. Needless to say we did not go to Valentines dinner at the Heritage House after they ruined our weekend. Don't stay at this hotel...but if you do I highly recommend calling and confirming your reservation and the room you are in to make sure it is a renovated room with fireplace.

Your Horoscope: Wednesday, April 21, 2010
-Margaret Santangelo
Taurus: This morning you'll be energized and productive, and therefore you'll be able to accomplish many important and diverse tasks at work. A stop-and-go, inefficient quality later in the day may frustrate you immensely. This vibe will last all night long, so just put your work aside and have a good time.
Gemini: You may have difficulty accomplishing important work tasks this morning because you simply cannot concentrate. Take a break and go home on the early side. Tonight, spend some time alone in meditation and self-reflection. You may experience insight about your professional aspirations.
Cancer: Today you'll apply the energy surge you experience to accomplishing household tasks. This afternoon, you'll be very productive. Cleaning and organizing your house will help you feel more in control of your life. Tonight, you may be slightly indulgent; don't do anything you'll regret tomorrow.
Leo: Get up early to get a head start on your day. You may go to the gym before you go to work today, which fills you with energy and gets you in a great mood. This afternoon, an overdue check may still not arrive. Just be patient – everything will start flowing more smoothly tomorrow.
Virgo: Take stock of your budget and income situation this afternoon. You may need to increase your cash flow right now; just give it a little thought; you'll come up with something. Tonight, express your deepest emotions to your special someone and the two of you will fall more deeply in love.
Libra: Friends and professional associates are your focus today. You may need to go off somewhere alone in order to get any serious work accomplished. Tonight, spend the evening at home with your family or significant other. You'll get a lot more work done in the comfort of your own home.
Scorpio: Early this morning is the perfect time to have an emotional discussion with your significant other. However, the afternoon may bring communication mayhem and madness into your life. Try to relax with some friends tonight. The hectic vibe will pass by tomorrow.
Sagittarius: Your agenda today is intensely personal and emotional. Spend the morning with your significant other. Communicate your deepest feelings to your special someone today. You'll be able to bring this relationship to a new, deeper place.
Capricorn: Your imagination goes wild all morning. Physical activity stimulates your mind and inspires you creatively. Spend the afternoon working on an artistic project. You'll be able to express some of your deepest emotions through creative self-expression tonight.
Aquarius: This morning, you are full of energy and ready to accomplish important tasks. Ask a friend for help if you simply can't do it alone. By evening, however, the vibe is difficult and unproductive, especially at work. If possible, take off early and make better use of your time.
Pisces: Tonight you may resolve to break the destructive cycles of co-dependency in your current romance. It may take some time and effort, but the two of you will definitely be able to overcome your infatuation with each other so you can each get on with your lives in the outside world.
Aries: Today don't expect to get much done at work. Take the afternoon to work on a creative project. Revisit old concepts and enhance and build upon them. A friend or professional associate may want you to evaluate the value of a recent purchase; don't say anything if you are in the least bit doubtful.

I'm new to Think Atheist and wanted to start new discussion to get into the mix. So here goes... I'm a baseball fan and during this off-season I was thinking about my team and the irony of it in relation to my atheism. You see, I'm a LA Angels fan. I've never really thought of my Angels as literal Angels because they don't have an Angel mascot or anything, but still, that is their name and I found it kind of ironic. Does anyone else have anything they like that conflicts with their beliefs? Maybe a San Diego Padres fan :) or band, movie, book, etc
You might want to make a confession of your sins against Atheism here.
Haha, thanks Reggie. I see you've thought about this before!
I'm in the U.S. Midwest and my vernacular is colored by religion. I've resigned myself to saying "bless you" to people who sneeze.
Welcome to T|A!
I've actually said "No thank you" to people who say "bless you". I've since stopped because I felt like a dick when I did it. I know there are no evil spirits evacuating my body though.
"You've got irony in my atheism! You've got atheism in my irony! It's... delicious!"
I tend to hum Christmas carols a lot during December. I could care less about the religious implications, I just enjoy the music.
This is one of my new favorites. These guys are awesome. Check out Carol of the Bells too.
Sorry Jean Marie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXh7JR9oKVE
The first comment on utube says enough. Glad you liked. My theist friends get confused when I do stuff like that. I just say Atheists have a stronger appreciation of "Art".
I hear what you're saying Jean, but I wouldn't say I have a choice in naming the days of the week!

If you've used postcards at all you know they are an effective way to generate sales leads1 for your business. But did you know that postcards are also good for expanding your social networking which leads to word of mouth advertising and long term brand loyalty? In the article "Networking with Postcards 1" posted previously on our blog, we discussed methods for postcard distribution. Now let's look at a couple of creative ways to use your postcards to increase the Internet traffic on your sites. Specifically:
1. Newsletter Subscribers
Building your email newsletter subscriber list
Use postcard mailings and handouts to advertise your online newsletter to potentially new subscribers. Invite them to come to your website and sign up for your newsletter. Make sure the postcard tells them what the benefit is for them when they do sign up. For instance, give them some incentive or promotion for signing up in the first place. Then consider creating special deals only for ongoing newsletter recipients so they'll want to remain on your list – and make sure they know about these "newsletter subscriber only" specials.
2. Blog Invitations
You're invited to a private party. Only those with invitations can attend. We all like being invited, we all like exclusive. Position your postcards as special invitations to your blog – like a party invitation. Tease the reader with some leads from tasty postings so they feel as if they are missing out by not becoming part of your blog. You want to create the impression that your blog is THE blog to visit.

AlexThis is my second visit here, I feel very much at home!! Since my last visit, Elliot has added extras including fridge, toaster and microwave - this really is a super self-contained accommodation with all the facilities. I cannot recommend it enough. Anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing, welcoming place to say near Henley won't go wrong with booking to stay here. Sara was there to welcome me this time, what lovely family! I really do hope to return again!
Kaye2016-06-19T00:00:00ZWhat a great little stay we had with Elliot and his family. We couldn't have been made to feel more welcome on arrival with a cup of tea and his Mum cleaning the flat for us. Elliot was really accommodating and arranged an early check in for us. The location is only 10-15 minute drive outside Reading town centre and in the most beautiful little village. It was really clean, lovely shower, TV and comfy sofas - everything we needed. The morning we left, Elliot's Dad made us scrambled egg on toast and it was absolutely to die for! Thank you for having us, highly recommended :-)
Glenda2015-09-01T00:00:00ZA charming place in a great rural. Quiet yet close to Reading and Henley. Elliot was a splendid host, the studio was clean comfortable.
Peter2015-08-08T00:00:00ZThis is a great spot and Elliott was a fantastic host. The room is a converted garage which has been decorated nicely downstairs, has a fantastic bathroom and a spiral staircase up to a lovely bedroom. It is in a beautiful village surrounded by a lovely big garden and a short bike ride from Henley. Elliot was there when we needed him and gave us a lovely breakfast in his conservatory but he also gave us our own space. He's a nice guy and gave us some useful tips on the area. It was exactly the sort of weekend break that we had envisaged and Elliot's place was perfect for us.
Adam2015-10-05T00:00:00ZElliot's studio is a beautiful and quirky place which is perfect for any couple or individual travelling on business. The studio is well maintained and decorated with a fantastic modern bathroom, whilst Elliot provides all the essentials including breakfast, tea and coffee. The halogen oven takes a bit of getting used to but cooks great food if you have the patience and perseverance. The only negative comment is that the TV is fairly limited due to the lack of an aerial but has Internet access to watch BBC iPlayer channels. The Internet is also strong enough to stream Netflix or SkyGo so make sure you bring a tablet or laptop if you want these facilities. All in all a very enjoyable stay with a very pleasant host. I will definitely be staying here again. Despite that, I would
Nicolae2015-07-13T00:00:00ZElliot is an ideal host: incredibly generous, very easy to communicate with, patient when I couldn't respond right way when I lost wi-fi through the country roads, and concerned about making sure his guests enjoy their stay. His place—a converted barn—is lovely. We were impressed with the work done to make the space so comfortable, and enjoyed looking at the reminders of the building's former life. We slept very well and enjoyed (after being in Dubai for so long) seeing so much green! From the living room window, we watched wild pheasants in the field behind the house, and we woke up to the soothing song of mourning doves. The pub next store, the Bottle & Glass, wasn't open yet (in another year?), but it looks like a great place for a pint and good food. We might even go back to check it out—and of course, we'll book again with Elliot.

Dot was an absolutely fabulous hostess who went out of her way to assist me. The stay really felt like a home away from home and I would thoroughly recommend staying with her. The room was extremely comfortable with lots of lovely touches and great facilities. I would very much liked to have been able to stay longer. It was a pleasure to meet Dot.
Samantha2014-07-05T00:00:00ZDot was the perfect hostess; I'm so glad I booked to stay here. The room was stylish and comfortable and perfectly clean and every little detail had been thought of. The kitchen was really useful for breakfast and Dot had provided lots delicious goodies. It was really nice to be separate from the main house because I didn't need to worry about disturbing anyone and could come and go as I pleased. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone unless you'd struggle with the step stairs as other reviews have mentioned. All in all 5/5!
Louise2016-07-21T00:00:00ZI stayed with Dot for the weekend of my friends wedding which was in Henley. I really enjoyed my stay with Dot, it was comfortable and I felt at home straight away. Dot she was a very friendly and attentive host. The breakfast she provided was great. The area is beautiful, probably best if you have a car though to get around. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone looking for a traditional country retreat with a warm and welcoming feel. Thanks Dot!
Claire2014-06-16T00:00:00ZMyself and my four friends had thee most wonderful stay at Dots beautiful cottage in the country. She was the most attentive host, but also left us to enjoy her home in private. It was a glorious weekend, which meant we were able to spend it lounging around the outdoor heated pool and make the most of the kitchen facilities for our picnic in the garden. Dot was so helpful and provided us with everything we needed...plates, cutlery, champagne flutes, towels etc. We stayed in both the annex and a room in the main house and found both in immaculate condition, with tea and cakes in the rooms upon our arrival. We would recommend Dots cottage to anyone, although we secretly want to keep it to ourselves as its such a hidden gem (and our new found bolt hole)...Dot, you will definitely see us again!
Emma2013-09-06T00:00:00ZWhat a super place! Lovely big bedroom/sitting area, beautiful countryside and so close to Reading. I loved staying here and would return at any opportunity. Dot is a super host - very helpful and lovely to talk to. You could not want for more! Very comfortable and all the facilities you could wish for! Thank you!
Martin2014-06-30T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed our short stay at Dot's cottage. The accommodation is separate to the main house so we had our own space but Dot is close by and on hand if there is anything you need. The room is upstairs above the garage but is very cosy and the bed comfortable. There are lovely gardens around the house and you feel like you are out in the country but you are only half an hour from Heathrow. A good place to stay if you need a stopover before heading home from your holiday as was the case for us. We enjoyed having chats with Dot who is a lovely person and very friendly. The breakfast was great. Dot makes delicious muffins!
Caryn2014-06-24T00:00:00ZWe had such a wonderful stay with Dot! It was one of our favorite airbnb homes we stayed in to date. Not only was her place picturesque and charming but also Dot is an incredible host who went out of her way for us. Our only regret was not staying longer, which means that we must plan another trip to come back and further explore the area. There are many walks through woodland and farms and short drive to Henley is very convenient. We want to thank Dot for such a pleasant and memorable stay. For going out of her way to bake us treats and cook hot breakfasts (even Canadian pancakes were a sweet touch!). Thanks to her we also had a lovely evening in Henley and enjoyed every bit of the stay. See you soon!
Chris & Alexandra2013-10-08T00:00:00ZDot was an amazing hostess! She thought of every little detail to make us comfortable! Her home is in a perfect location. It is about an hour or so away from London. We drove to a tube station and rode the tube in as driving in London isn't the best idea. We parked at the North Ealing station for only 4 euros for the whole day. It is in a nice rural type village, and close to the most delicious and friendly pub called the Bottle and Glass. We stayed in her cottage, which is very spacious and has everything we could need. It even has a little sitting area and also some of Dot's sweet touches that she personally added for our comfort. The breakfast was amazing as she is a very good cook. She was also such a wonderful person that we just felt like we were staying with a great friend. We had some wonderful discussions and even my husband wanted to sit and visit with her; he usually isn't much for long conversations. We definitely want to go back very soon and will be planning our next trip with this beautiful stay on our list! I would highly recommend Dot and her lovely home!

Our host was very welcoming with an email before we arrived explaining everything and providing many contact numbers for help from herself and friendly neighbors. The neighbors were very flexible with meeting us and letting us into the house. We are from another country, and they were so friendly and helpful with how things worked here. The host set out a "welcome" tray with information about the area, maps, Christmas yummies and pretties, and an invitation to the church at the end of the lane for Christmas service. She also left Christmas decorations for us, even though her family was somewhere else for the holidays. The house was comfortable, clean, well-appointed and attractive with a nice vibe. It has a real cook's kitchen that was a pleasure to cook in and hang out. We were there during the short days of December, but there was wonderful light with all the skylights and bright fixtures. It is on a quiet street with a field on the other side. In 15 minutes, you can drive to the Reading train station and be in London in under an hour. We had five adults staying very comfortably and were sad to leave, it had been so nice to be there.

Peter's place was superb. It had the best kitchen of any bnb we've stayed in. My kids loved the backyard and I loved that the flat backed onto Friar Park! Very cool! I would definitely recommend Peter's place.
Peggi2016-09-01T00:00:00ZI was in town for a wedding from Canada, with my wife and two kids. The flat was great. Location was perfect, close enough to walk to everything, yet peaceful and cozy. If I ever have reason to stay in Henley again, I would try to stay here.
Edward2015-09-15T00:00:00ZOn this occasion my husband and a couple of friends visited Henley for a friend's 40th and stayed at Peter's house. We know Henley well and my husband said that the house is in a beautiful location with lovely views and only 10 minutes walk from the center. Very clean welcoming with comfortable and very soft sofas :) Comfortable beds. Kitchen well organised with American size fridge. Check in and check out simple and easy.
Elisa2015-03-25T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation 53 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
JunePeters house was very warm and inviting. It had nice earth tone calming colors and an extremely comfortable bed. The location was about a 10 minute walk to the nearest store and was within a 5 min drive to most places.
Erika2015-12-04T00:00:00ZAll very easy. Excellent location for getting into Henley - near Waitrose, near the cinema, near the river. Peter was welcoming. The house was v nicely done and everything inside was good quality etc. The only slight issue worth mentioning is that the primary school is next door so the children make a racket during the breaks!
Fergus2015-04-17T00:00:00ZVery cosy and nicely kept house, right near the centre of Henley, so it was easy to get around. We loved sitting in front of the fire and the house had pretty much all we needed, however we would have appreciated knowing that there was no internet.
Olivia2014-12-17T00:00:00ZPeter was very welcoming. The house was clean, tastefully decorated, spacious, comfortable and had all the facilities required. Free parking on the road with easy walk into Henley. Tea, coffee and milk were in the kitchen, which was a nice touch.

Carlos2015-11-19T00:00:00ZLouise is a top grade host. She made me feel extremely welcome & was totally helpful throughout. Great to have free run of the kitchen in the evening to cook. Very much enjoyed meeting her and having a long chat over coffee. Enjoyed meeting her husband, Sunil very much too. Very comfy bed...slept really well. The neighbourhood is very quiet. Five minute walk to shops and restaurants. Thanks for the pears, Louise!

Liz's garden studio was gorgeous- the space was perfect for two people and all needs were catered for- even down to hot croissants in the morning! It's perfectly located 5 minutes from Shiplake Station so is ideal for those without a car. It's also a great base for some beautiful walks along the Thames Path. Could not recommend more!
Lucy2016-04-18T00:00:00ZWe had a great stay at Liz's place. It is very cozy and had everything we needed for one nigh. The garden was a nice surprise as well. Will definitely visit again if we are staying in the area!
Nargiz2016-07-20T00:00:00ZThank you so much Liz for my friend's surprise 50th birthday overnight stay. From the moment I contacted Liz she was accommodating and flexible with quick communication. My friends received a very warm welcome and were absolutely thrilled with the accommodation, they told me the studio was just beautiful with a luxurious feel and very much appreciated the complimentary wine you provided. The bed was extremely comfortable, breakfast was lovely and was certainly the one night 'mini break' which I had hoped they would enjoy. The local pub was a great place for dinner and overall they felt thoroughly spoilt!. Thanks once again.
Annie2015-11-09T00:00:00ZWe absolutely loved the studio, it was so peaceful and perfect. Liz was a great host and made us wonderful croissants in the morning. The place was easily assessable with a lovely pub down the road which did gorgeous food. We would definitely come back here again.
James2016-01-03T00:00:00ZLovely property in a great location. Everything was as described and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a weekend away in Henley.
Ellie2016-06-11T00:00:00ZThis was our first Airbnb and we were a little nervous, but we couldn't have asked for a better first experience. Liz and Malcolm were very welcoming but also discrete and left us alone. The Studio is tastefully decorated with so many little touches that all add up to make it an absolute treat so stay. The radio was gently playing classical music when we arrived, all the lighting is dimmable which really helps with the atmosphere. We particularly loved the record player with a variety of records to enjoy - what a nostalgia trip. The kitchenette was well stocked with a variety of tea bags, coffee, fresh milk, yoghurts and fruit, a couple of beers and a bottle of wine. The en-suite shower room was similarly delightful. We sat on the chairs outside the Studio and just enjoyed the garden and the sound of the birds. In the mornings, Liz discretely provide a basket of croissants outside the studio all wrapped up to keep them warm along with a pot of jam - it was all such a treat. Liz and Malcolm have created a delightful haven of tranquility which they have thankfully made available to the Airbnb community. It's easy to forget about the outside world when you're inside the Studio. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.
Tom2016-05-23T00:00:00ZWonderful homely space. Liz was very welcoming. It was such a treat to arrive to little fairy lights guiding my way to the warm cosy studio space. A real haven. Everything was very good quality and the bed was VERY comfortable !! Nice area and very quiet and peaceful. Recommend it very highly. Stella.
stella2015-09-02T00:00:00ZIt's such a beautiful place and I felt instantly relaxed when I arrived after a long day.

Charlotte was a great host from the moment I made an enquiry about the room to the end of the stay.. She certainly knows the area and provides a great little guide telling you all you need to make the most of the annexe and the locale.. The Annexe.. is great.. a real home from home but better equipped and tidier.. has everything you need.. spotlessly clean.. really spacious.. great outside sitting area and large glass doors that open up the whole lounge to the outside are great.. Parking and access really easy and convenient. Location is great for a visit to Henley on Thames.. 20 minutes leisurely walk to the town centre or river, all downhill and very pleasant and very quiet.. £5/6 back in a taxi if the hill is too much for you on the way back.. Henley on Thames very fetching.. great for food and drink lovers.. follow the recomendations in Charlotte's guide.. The Three Tuns & The Anchor in particular..
mason2016-09-19T00:00:00ZCharlotte's annex is an absolute gem. The place itself is extremely well equipped and very stylishly decorated. Everything you need for the stay is provided, along with a few personal touches which really sets the place apart from others we have experienced. All communications were great and Charlotte was very helpful recommending things to do in and around the area during our stay. The check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle free. The location is perfect to explore Henley and is an easy 15-20 minute walk into the centre, try the Three Tuns or The Station House for very very good food and all round ambience. All in all a perfect stay.
Gav2017-01-02T00:00:00ZCharlotte's place is fantastic, the pictures really don't do it justice. It's really well done and had everything we needed, it really was a home away from home, so cosy and comfortable. Whilst it sits along side Charlotte's own property, it feels completely private but it was comforting to know that Charlotte & Simon were right there if we needed anything and they were incredibly helpful, especially considering we booked and arrived on the same day! The place is really easy to get into the centre of Henley and we took Charlotte's recommendations and went to The Bull on Bell Street which was a great pub. Absolutely loved it, we will definitely be back! Thanks Charlotte! X
Lizzie2016-12-24T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay in Henley - the accommodation was immaculate and location great for exploring all the delights of Henley and the surrounding villages. The unit has everything you need to self-cater, but there are also several fantastic pubs & restaurants walking distance away. The Wi-Fi worked very well and the TV has access to loads of channels including Netflix. Charlotte was especially welcoming and very understanding when we had to rearrange check-in time due to work commitments, and she was even kind enough to provide a delicious breakfast. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Charlotte's place and definitely hope to stay again when next in the area.
Chloe2016-09-12T00:00:00ZLovely space hidden just away from the town. Luxurious and spacious, we had a wonderful stay. Charlotte is a great host! Would highly recommend!
Jackie2017-01-10T00:00:00ZThe annexe is a great place to stay. It has the feel of being tucked away in the middle of no where yet the accessibility of being close to town. Charlotte was a very considerate host and made us feel very welcome. It's well equipped a real home from home.
Daniel2016-12-31T00:00:00ZCharlotte, Simon and Catherine made us feel very welcome. The place was immaculate and beautifully kitted out. I'm not sure the photos do it justice as there is a little patio area which isn't clear in the photos. Althought we didn't use it due to the rain, it would be lovely in the spring / summer
Jane2016-10-03T00:00:00ZCharlotte's place is incredibly comfortable, clean and cosy for a short or long stay. The annexe is equipped with all the things necessary for a self-contained trip, or it is a short and pleasant walk down into town for many pubs, restaurants and shops. Charlotte and Simon were friendly and communicative hosts, always on hand to help or answer questions. We had a really fantastic stay here as we transitioned to living in the UK. Highly recommend this place for stays in Henley.

Susan was unable to meet us when we first arrived but that was no problem as her son showed us around the house then Susan kindly called round later. The area is fairly built up with other houses but there was space to park and it's an easy 10 minute drive to a large supermarket. The lounge isn't big but adequate and the bedrooms were comfortable although a carpet might have been nice in the one bedroom. Thanks Susan for making us welcome.
Andrea2015-10-26T00:00:00ZThe house was as described in the post and pictures. We had a pleasant stay and the host provided a few extra items for our young kids which was a nice surprise. I wish we would have been told about the walking path from the estate to the main road in the village as it made walking much easier and safer.
Jill2016-04-01T00:00:00ZThe house was lovely, and in a great location. Susan was a great host and made things very easy for us.
Nic2016-07-20T00:00:00ZSusan was a wonderful host. She met us on arrival and explained everything we needed to know. We didn't see her for the rest of the week but we knew she was only a text away if we needed her assistance. The house was beautiful and the area was gorgeous. Such a lovely place to relax. All amenities were available and simple to use. The beds were so comfy and the shower was a dream! Although we were there for work I managed to go for some lovely afternoon walks - highly recommended! Try and find the forest nearby - it's stunning! Also we can confirm that Sue's recommendation for the George and Dragon was spot on. A lovely pub for a drink looking out over the thames and beautiful food! Thank you Sue!!
Haf2016-05-21T00:00:00ZWe had a very enjoyable stay at Susan's. She waited for us for over 45 minutes (we got a bit lost and made it to Wargrave somewhat later than expected), showed us around, and gave us some advice about what to do and where to buy groceries in the area (by the way, the restaurant she recommended, "Haweli", 3' walking down the house, was both affordable and excellent). The house is as in the pictures; it's a very comfortable place for a couple a third person. I TOTALLY recommend Susan's place if you're traveling by car and plan to visit the area. Thanks, Susan!
Nicolás2016-06-16T00:00:00ZMy wife and I had a very enjoyable stay at Susan's place. It's nice and quiet and has good facilities, so we cooked and had a take away and relaxed in our pyjamas after a good wedding up the road by Henley, £10 in a taxi. Perfect stay really.
Jon2015-12-17T00:00:00ZWe had a very pleasant stay in Wargrave. Susan met us on arrival and offered helpful suggestions for walks, shops and pubs. The house is very comfortable and well equipped and we enjoyed a lovely country walk more-or-less from the front door. I also appreciated the late checkout on the Monday. For those who are car-less, the house is a bit of a walk from the train station (which itself is not brilliantly served) but is just off National Cycle Network route 4 into Reading.
Harry2016-12-10T00:00:00ZSusan met us at the property, made us feel very welcome and comfortable and explained everything we needed to know. The house was lovely! The beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay. I would definitely recommend this house.

The annex was immaculately clean, all the amenities you would need. the attention to detail was second to none! Being on the top of the garage it does get cold, so we had to over ride the heating. would love to go back soon, thanks so much for having us! Liam

Beautiful little cottage. Excellent host. Great value for money. Packed with charm and character. A real pleasure many thanks!
Matt2016-09-11T00:00:00ZLovely cottage and not too small for 4 guests. Clean and in a good central location near the town. Claire was a very good host , she stocked the fridge of essentials (like a bottle of wine). Would definitely stay again.
Daniel2016-10-17T00:00:00ZThank you Claire for such a fantastic weekend. Me and my 4 friends stayed at Claire's cottage for a weekend of relaxation. The cottage couldn't have been more perfect for a cosy weekend in Autumn. It had everything we needed to make two meals for 5 and the food in the fridge she provided was a lovely added extra. The cottage was a ten minute walk from the town which has some lovely shops and pubs and there's a huge Tesco just around the corner too. The weekend was finished with a lovely walk along the river and a roast in the Angel pub which was recommended by Claire. Communication with Claire was amazing from start to finish and we will definitely be recommending to our friends and family.
Jemma2016-11-13T00:00:00ZAirbnb screwed up so we couldn't stay here, but Claire was amazing in sorting everything out afterwards. So I'd definitely book with her again!
Dave2016-12-12T00:00:00ZClaire was very accommodating as we were held up in traffic so arrived about an hour later than planned. Her house is very cosy, yet had plenty of space for the four of us. Claire stocked the fridge for our arrival with essentials such as milk, and provided clear information about where everything was in her property and how to use various appliances. We were only a short walk away from the river and Henley town centre which was helpful as we only had one day and one evening away. The garden at the back provided a great opportunity to make the most of dining outside during the final days of good weather for the year. Claire's recommendations about local places to eat and drink were spot on and were very useful due to our time constraints in Henley. We would highly recommend staying at Claire's as it really is a home away from home.
Nicola2016-09-27T00:00:00ZClaire's place is quirky yet offers a rustic charm. It perfectly suited us for the one night we stayed in December. Henley is a lovely place to wander with numerous good eateries and shops to while away the hours. Claire was a pleasure to communicate with;prompt and accurate with thoughtful touches such as milk for tea as well as breakfast items. The beds were really very comfortable the only down side was the noise from being so close to the main road but this wouldn't deter us from staying again if we visited Henley.
Caroline2016-12-29T00:00:00ZClaire was very helpful both before and during our stay, communication was great! The place is lovely, bigger than expected and a great location. Would love to stay here again and explore Henley a bit more as we only had one night. Highly recommended :)
Nicki2016-08-29T00:00:00ZSuch a warm welcome from our host Claire! Claire had even gone out of her way to stock the fridge with essentials before our arrival. The cottage is packed with period features, so cosy and tastefully-furnished. We found it to be a home from home and enjoyed the convenient location. Claire had also provided a wealth of information before we checked in.

We had an amazing stay! Amazing house and super cool easy going host! Really appreciate his hospitality. I will absolutely recommend this place!
Francesco2016-09-18T00:00:00ZExcellent place, wonderful stay, perfect host. The flat is on a vibrant, historic street which is within 5 minutes jog of a quiet and beautiful path running alongside the Thames with swans, geese and herons and in the distance, rolling hills. Babtunde gave really clear instructions on my arrival, and very helpful advice on transport to and from the University, to the town and to Ikea. The host was great company, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this host and this room.
Christopher2016-09-10T00:00:00ZLovely apartment, Babatunde was very welcoming and stayed up to greet me even though I was running a bit later than planned. Great stay, recommended.
Lee2016-10-10T00:00:00ZBabatunde's top floor flat was immaculate, I would definitely stay there again. Babatunde was a welcoming host, and made me feel right at home while I was travelling on business.
Ronald2017-02-03T00:00:00ZBabatunde and his flat are a gem! I work nights and needed a place to sleep during the day - not a problem! He then had a last minute emergency and could not even be there. I was still able to stay, I picked up the keys from a friend and saw Babatunde as I was leaving Monday morning. It's a lovely flat with beautiful artwork and I am glad I did get a chance to meet him before I left. I'd love to stay with him again if I work more than one night in Reading and hope that we'll then have some time for a chat! Brilliant host!!
Marie2016-09-26T00:00:00ZVery friendly host with flat that stands out from it's surroundings. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
Nadir2017-01-27T00:00:00ZBabatunde is welcoming and easy going..Tthe description and pictures were accurate and the apartmentnd t was nice and warm .The location was ideal
gill2016-11-20T00:00:00ZThe house is nice and clean. Babatunde is very friendly and welcoming; I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Had another great stay in the apartment, and of course, Henley. Many thanks
ross2016-04-23T00:00:00ZLesli was amazing, we were so lucky to have such a great hostess! She took extra care to make sure that there was breakfast items for our little one as well as toys and a bed. Great location, friendly people.
Sarah2016-04-10T00:00:00ZMy partner and I were made to feel instantly welcome and at home when we arrived. We were greeted by Lesley who showed us around and even left us some lovely bits for breakfast/tea/coffee etc. The studio flat was the perfect location to the high street and offered us everything we needed during our 2 day stay! We would certainly love to come back next time were in Henley!
Laura2016-05-03T00:00:00ZI had a lovely time staying here, thank you Lesley for your hospitality. The little flat is perfect, everything you could need, and the hosts were very kind and easy to contact; they also didn't get annoyed by my chopping and changing my arrival time, which I was very thankful for! The whole experience was as easy as you hope it will be, and I would definitely book here again to see more of Henley. Thank you!
Tara2016-08-01T00:00:00ZThe studio is bigger than the photos suggest & in a perfect location for a short stroll into town. Comfortable bed & lots of little thoughtful extras too. We will definitely recommend to others.
Jennifer2016-11-27T00:00:00ZExcellent self contained apartment. Own entrance was great and kitchen well appointed. Location fantastic and easy to walk into town. Very welcoming host who let us in early which was great. Highly recommended.

Paul2016-02-27T00:00:00ZLesley and her family were very helpful. The place was clean and comfortable and a very close walk into town. We had a wonderful time here and would definitely go back.

A delightful house in a quiet secluded part of the town. The house was well equipped and very comfortable. Jason was easily contactable and very helpful.
David2016-11-12T00:00:00ZAll worked well. Thanks for the Champagne!
Håkan2016-12-07T00:00:00ZAnother great stay. Highly recommended.
Håkan2017-01-16T00:00:00ZJason's place is ideal for a couple's getaway from London. It's really cozy and the bed is very comfortable. Great shower too! Centrally located and great for exploring Henley and surrounding villages, or just relaxing at the cottage. If you bring your car, best to park by the station or the rugby club and try and arrange overnight parking; it's 2 hours max on the street outside the cottage.
Christopher2017-01-07T00:00:00ZWe spent a lovely night at Jason's place - and wished we could have stayed longer! The flat is small but wonderfully decorated and full of character. We loved the location - right in the centre, in a charming little row of cottages. Jason was a great host and very responsive to the few questions we had. If you're driving, plan parking ahead of time - we arrived on a Saturday afternoon and there were no spaces on New Street. Not a problem though - we found cheap parking a 10 minute walk away at the rugby club. We'd definitely stay here again!
Kirsty2016-12-19T00:00:00ZAmazing little cottage, hidden away down a tiny, unassuming mews right in the centre of Henley. Highly recommended.
Grant2016-11-27T00:00:00ZLovely cottage in very quiet area near many restaurants/ pubs. Very cute with lovely fire! Could be made better by the addition of coffee/ tea. Also only one large plate which was a bit of a shame as one of us had to use two small plates!
Hannah2016-12-12T00:00:00ZA small but cute and cosy flat with a very comfortable bed. Shame the gas fire was not working as it would have given a lovely glow to the small room downstairs. I'm echoing one of the previous reviews and would suggest adding one more large plate (there was only one), one corkscrew and a box of matches to the basic kitchen amenities.

Hi, Nicky,thank you for your hospitality. We have a perfect stay with you,a very lovely family. The house is very clean, comfortable with complete accommodation and well situated for visiting London Windsor and to the airport. Many thanks for you,your husband and your son,a little gentleman. Tianxiang,China.
Tianxiang2016-10-01T00:00:00ZA delightful location. We had a very enjoyable stay with Nicky and Chris. Their property is modern, beautiful and clean. Our hosts were friendly and available when we needed them. I am happy to highly recommend this property.
Gerry2016-07-13T00:00:00ZGreat accommodation, located about a 15 min walk outside Henley on the river. Very clean and modern apartment. Very friendly and helpful hosts.
Ronan2016-07-23T00:00:00ZThe hosts of this cottage were incredibly welcoming and helpful and immediately made me feel at home after a long trip overseas. The description of the cottage is accurate, it has been recently renovated with wonderful taste and had everything I needed for my stay. The location was perfect, just a very short walk into town, but also very accessible via the local taxi company. Perfect accommodations and amazing hosts truly make this a location that I hope to visit again next year.
Gregory2016-07-07T00:00:00ZExcellent place to stay if you are in the region....convenient enough to walk to Henley (Nicky and Chris let our kids their kids scooters!!). Incredibly well laid out cottage, lacking nothing, beautifully presented and clean. Really felt like home for the few days we were theree, and Nicky and Chris and family were perfect hosts. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a few days away in the country....Henley is an awesome town.
Jonathan2016-07-08T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
AngelaWe were welcomed by Nicky, Chris and their children upon arrival. The cottage was cozy and very comfortable, just as in their pictures. They were great hosts. They invited us to a polo match and picnic lunch. What a terrific day!!! Their cottage was the last stop on our travels home and this was a perfect ending to our trip. Nicky, Chris and family made our entire stay a grand experience. We made new friends and would love to stay with them again.
Kim2016-07-26T00:00:00ZWe had lots of communication about arrival times and Nicky was able to be flexible with our timings. She was very welcoming and her cottage is lovely and felt very fresh. She had thoughtfully provided some supplies for us. Although compact the cottage is lovely and tastefully decorated and furnished. The only slight drawback is the proximity to the busy main road and noise levels. My ear plugs came into play which allowed me some decent sleep. We had brought bikes which made it easier for getting in and out of Henley during the busy festival period. It was great as a base for Henley Masters regatta and I will definitely try to book in again.

Python - simple elevator simulator
- Status Lukket
- Budsjett €30 - €250 EUR
- Antall bud 16
Your task is to implement the simple elevator in Python using classes. The default strategy is the simple "start at the bottom, go to the top, then go to the bottom". You don't have to use this, you can take an alternative approach such as random start location for the elevator.
Project Description / Specification
Create three classes: Building, Elevator, and Customer.
Equip the building with an elevator. Ask user to customize the number of floors and the number of customers.
Program should have error checking to make sure the user inputs are valid. For example, if a user gives non-integer inputs, notify the user that the inputs are incorrect and prompt again.
Each customer starts from a random floor, and has a random destination floor.
Each customer will use the elevator only once, i.e., when a customer moves out of the elevator, he/she will never use it again.
When all customers have reached their destination floor, the simulation is finished.
All classes' methods require a docstring for a general description of the method.
Don't use any global variables.
Notes and Hints
In your main function, at the beginning ask the user for the number of floors and the number of customers which can be used to create an instance of Building. Then we only need to call a run method and an output (such as __str__ or __repr__) method repeatedly in a while loop.
Randomly select the floors (to and from) for each customer. Use the randint function from the random module. To estimate the efficiency of strategy, count the number of floors visited for your strategy. Make a demo to create usable output from your simulation.

Feel bad for all the expats? I hope that's sarcasm. At least the expats have a non-polluted, functional, infrastructure-rich place to repatriate too. The people of Rivas, Ometepe, SJDS and the rest of the region have a lot more to lose than retirement homes.
Construction is supposed to start in a year, but I don't think it's going to be built. Financial success would be impeded by the already functioning Panama canal 2.0. I've met people who work for in US-Nica relations that don't believe it will ever be completed because of rampant corruption, which has stood in the way of many large development projects.

Kylie Jenner Denies Getting Breast Implants
ÃÂ Kylie Jenner has made a career off of her…parts. By which I mean to say that she gets scrutinized a lot for them, but they also kinda made her more than just the youngest of the Kardashian franchise. For better or worse, Kylie discusses how she's perceived to the world at large in Wonderland Magazine. Though the whole interview hasn't been released yet, here are some highlights:
On bullying:"Growing up, I've heard the worst things anyone could ever say about me and bullying was such a big part of my life, with the whole entire world judging me and stuff. So I started to look towards people with, like, I think, bigger more real issues than I have."
People don't know the real Kylie:"Nobody really knows who I am. People think that because we have a reality TV show that they know everything, but it's like, I'm not filming right now," she admitted. "That's maybe 5 percent out of my day."
On getting plastic surgery:"People think that I've had everything done. I thought it was going to chill down when I said: ââ¬ËOK, I admit it, I got my lips done, I never lied, I just wasn't telling the whole truth'," she explained to the mag.
"And then people took that and were like, ââ¬ËOh well, if she got her lips done she probably got everything done'. People don't realize I just turned 18, so there's no way my mom [Kris Jenner] would ever let me undergo a nose job or a boob job."
What do you think- is Kylie telling the whole truth about her augmentations/surgeries?

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago and Airbnb have battled for months over the proposed tightening of short-term rental rules in the nation's third largest city, but the debate has also quietly rippled out into some of the smaller communities across Illinois.
From creatively interpreting existing laws to near-bans on the burgeoning industry, the cities are finding their own ways to either generate new revenues or simply quell complaints about rowdy out-of-towners.
When a noisy Super Bowl house party at a rental in the tranquil Chicago suburb of Lincolnwood prompted neighborhood complaints last year, officials rewrote their laws to discourage rentals shorter than 30 days. Officials said they prioritized maintaining the character of the community of roughly 12,500 people over the potential tourist revenue short-term rentals might bring.
"I doubt people are coming in just to vacation in Lincolnwood, though I'd love it if that happened," said Village Manager Tim Wiberg.
Lincolnwood homeowners can now rent out for less than 30 days only once per calendar year, which Wiberg said avoids revolving door visitors while accommodating families who need to stay close to schools during a house renovation or anyone requiring suburban living during a short-term work assignment.
However, the suburb also doesn't have many resources to enforce the rules, something echoed elsewhere.
Urbana didn't propose new restrictions after residents griped about visitors cycling in and out of one home. Instead, officials looked to existing zoning laws and rules governing hotels and bed and breakfasts. Depending on the type of rental, Urbana requires registration and a $50 fee or a zoning permit.
Officials periodically scan listings to check for violations, though they acknowledge they don't always have the staff. According to Airbnb's website, there are about 150 Urbana rentals available.
"We do spot checks," said Community Development Director Libby Tyler. "But people are very good about complaining."
Meanwhile, a Springfield alderman has raised quality-of-life issues with summertime sublets around the capital city's lake. Evanston beefed up rules on rentals of less than 30 days. And Wilmette has sought public input on short-term rentals.
The online listing companies have focused their energy on fighting restrictions in Chicago, where the stakes are much higher and where city officials estimate there are roughly 6,000 rental units through sites like HomeAway and Airbnb.
Chicago's push to regulate short-term rentals follows efforts in major cities including San Francisco. Chicago aldermen who want restrictions have said short-term rentals have created issues in some of the city's livelier neighborhoods such as Lincoln Park, where partying visitors have created defacto hotels. They described it as a threat to neighborhood identity and the long-term rental market, and hotel associations are concerned about dwindling revenues.
After a five-hour hearing last month, Mayor Rahm Emanuel shelved the plan for a month to address concerns.
Airbnb officials argue their services boost neighborhood spending and provide other economic benefits, which are key themes in ads the company has been running on television and the radio as both sides negotiate.
The latest draft is expected before city council members this week. Among other things, it would impose fees on short-term rentals, including a 4 percent surcharge that would generate an estimated $2 million for homeless services. It would also require companies to share data on renters with the city.
Some who use the companies to rent out extra space are concerned about new regulations.
Mark Brouwer said he traveled the country by staying in Airbnb rentals, including stops along California's coast. The yoga teacher says the services have been a great option.
"I've never felt comfortable staying in hotels. It's very standardized," he said. "I really enjoy the adventure of staying in people's homes and meeting new people."
He rents out one unit of his two-flat on the Chicago's far North Side, and said he's worried about the potential of the city invading his privacy with data collection.
Laura Schofield, a mother of four in the city's Humboldt Park neighborhood, said renting a room in her home for around $50 a night helps her make ends meet after a divorce. She also waitresses and is worried about it becoming harder to advertise her rental.
"We're just scraping by," she said. "Something flexible like this, it's fantastic for me. I honestly don't think I'd know what I'd do without it."

Downloads (linux)
The last relase of TA3D is 0.6.0. Only the code source is available for old Linux versions (no binaries), but recent versions have been packaged in our repositories (Ubuntu & Mandriva, both 32 and 64 bits OSes).
In order to build TA3D from source you will need : Minimum requirements: Installation: Old releases were not designed to be installed on your system so compilation and execution of the program must be done in its directory. ./configure make ./ta3d Since release 0.5.0, TA3D uses CMake to configure and build packages. You'll need CMake >= 2.6, then just run "cmake ./ && make && cpack ./" from the source directory and you'll get your DEB and RPM packages. You will also need *.hpi and/or *.ufo files which contain units and maps (from the original game, the demo or a mod, but you can find maps on fans websites). You can reuse the *.hpi files from the original game by using the ta3d (hpiview in older releases) executable after compilation. Use the command: ./ta3d path_to_totala3.hpi extract "install/totala1.hpi" The totala2.hpi file can be copied directly from CDrom. Those files can be extracted automatically from the CD with the install-sh script, or by typing ./ta3d install NB: TA3D is developed on Linux 64bits with a GeForce, then it's optimized for this hardware.

de Grisogono – Master Joailliere
America's most renowned jeweler was Harry Winston (March 1, 1896 – December 28, 1978) who's boutiques span globally. Although many fine jewelry establishments sell mainly recognized branded watches, a few have created their own brand successfully. Fawaz Gruosi the creating founder of the de Grisogono high jewelry brand has been meeting the demand for his jewelry work in volumes. When he decided to take on the roll as designer for a new watch line and collection, he knew exactly what his plan was. A high quality jewelry watch with avant-garde creativeness.
The names he gave his watches only added to the mystique of his creations, while aficionado's flocked to his boutiques to see his latest collections and Fawaz Gruosi never failed to deliver. And he always delivered in greater than expectations!
This watch collection is entitled Piccolina.
Precious metals, diamonds, and sapphires unite to bring elegance and style to this ladies collection. Note the Stingray (devilfish) white leather skin and it's natural beauty.
Yes, I love his creativity and you should write about his jewelry designs too, women love his designs
He's out of my price range but my wife loves this jeweler. I guess artistry and marketing can make prices soar you think?
