Back to Dubai
Dubai Travel Blog› entry 12 of 17 › view all entries
Once again, arose about 8AM and all three of us returned to Dhafeer, for a slightly extended walking tour + photo shoot in the desert. I was astonished by the myriad of tracks. On the same spot yesterday evening, the windswept sand appeared lifeless. But early in the morning, witness the plethora of signs of life! Evidence of bugs (Rhinoceros & Scarab beetle tracks…Mark explained how enormous these critters were!), lizards, snakes and a small dog or fox. When the lights go out, the desert must come alive.
We trekked awhile and returned for breakfast about 10AM. And I got to catch up a bit while reveling in the sandy oblivion presented from my back porch..…
The next, abbreviated adventure, was a vain attempt to witness Waheeb Hill, which at 800 feet is reported to be the world's largest sand dune.
However, the short progress we made was very cool. There does exist a single black top road winding back through the dunes towards Waheeb Hill. In places it almost entirely drifted shut by sand --- interestingly reminiscent of snow drifts and lending understanding to the caveat from the receptionist that the attempt cannot be made without a heavy duty 4WD vehicle! Up & down we proceeded through monstrous canyons of sand. Wild to simply witness all the sand pyramids extending as far as the eye can see.
Each "pass" we went over usually bottomed out to a salt marsh, where a few trucks and several laborers sweated away.
Mark & I took some pictures around a curious sign along the road. It was a big exclamation point in an upside-down yield sign. We were in the middle of nowhere and didn't encounter a single moving vehicle, so we were intrigued what it could mean. And we actually just passed another one along the highway as we went by Abu Dhabi on the rebound back to Dubai…and this was appended with the stultifying subtitle - "anticipate surprises" …too funny!
Time slipped away and we doubled back to Liwa to check out.
When they saw us again, the one gestured with a tentative thumbs up and an intense questioning expression.
While checking out we got to see a desert rose, a pretty rock crystal formed where water pools in the desert. And then we were off. Mark & I both nodded with Samia navigating our way home through giant dunes of red sand towards Hameem, where we hoped to have some lunch & see the "World's largest 4WD", which the concierge at Liwa told us was a local attraction. The vehicle was owned by Sheikh Hamad of
Hameem struck out on both counts.
We pulled off and got escorted in to witness the beast. None of us doubted it was indeed, the world's largest off road monster…stunning and very amusing.
There were several other amusements at the palace (you couldn't see sheikh Hamad's place…huge fence encompassed his estate). An elderly gentleman escorting some camels told me a camel ride was 10 Dhirams before we went into the pyramid…after we viewed the 4WD I handed Mark my camera and informed him that I needed to accept this offer --- so that I would have a picture of me on a camel for my daughter!
When we got back to where the camels were the old dude was absent…a younger man in his place.
Road markers counted down the kilometers to Abu Dhabi, literally one per kilometer, so I employed the opportunity to learn the Arabic numeral system (and glad to report I've got 'em down) --- was very pleased when I visualized what the next marker should look like and it was correct!
The only sad part was when we neared
After finally regaining
Had to score a bottle of tabasco with half of the language on the bottle in Arabic, plus some dates rolled around almonds that Mark suggested as an excellent gift selection. Mark also guided me to the secreted "pork" section, where all the haram products are on display (haram is the Arabic word for taboo). One souvenir I did not score was a can of
When we entered the pork section (and it really was hidden away), we encountered two Muslim woman looking around…our arrival chased them away! I was floored by all of the things in this section, like pork rinds and even chips flavored with pork. What caused great consternation for Mark & I was a jar of Paul Prudhomme's pork seasoning --- albeit it was targeted at haram products, there wasn't a whit of piggie in the ingredients. A friend of Mark's later pointed out that this was probably just sage marketing, as opposed to seclusion of verboten goods.
Our last battle with
Around 10PM we broke up into a separate cars for boys + girls (Matt & Samia both declined to venture out for evening festivities at Mark's favorite "hooker bar"…the Sea View Hotel) and headed to Dubai. Traffic was nuttier than ever on a Thursday night (this would be like a Saturday night here) and we got viciously cut off several times. I was beyond astonished when we parked and the girls pulled in right behind us. How they managed to tail us through the nightmarish traffic boggles my mind!
We went into the hotel and alas, the "men's room" entrance was blocked, although the girls were obvious veterans and began forging ahead until a bouncer blocked their way <Mark has regaled me with stories about this particular establishment, and one of its primary facets is that you could enter it through the men's room from an adjacent night club in the hotel…girls included!>. We had to navigate numerous corridors to the back of the hotel where we entered the club through its official doorway.
What an experience! We pushed together a couple of tables in the smoky bar and parked stage right, right beside the female bass player who was just incredible. The band was comprised of six Filipino's --- guitar, bass, drums, keyboard and two women in glitter suits who sang (beyond these two and the bassist, all males). It was 100% covers, most appearing to be requests written on napkins that were clumsily funneled to the keyboard player. Guitarist is also exceptionally talented and everything was played very tight (right down to the synchronized dances the girls did --- different each song, but they were right in step with each other).
Ultimate performance was their rendering of the Queen classic "Bohemian Rhapsody". The vocals were a bit clunky, but I would think any other bar band would be too intimidated by this song to consider adding it to their repertoire. The band pulled it off wonderfully and the crowd went nuts! Another highlight was the guitarist and bassist pulling the old switcheroo…and of course the woman was jaw-dropping on the axe, playing behind her head and laying down scorching leads. And after that she jumped behind the drums for a song, lest we consider even briefly that she was merely human!!! I was also impressed that one of the glitter gals picked up the bass during the drum stint (although she did look a wee bit uncomfortable).
So let us put the band aside and consider the crowd. Many Filipino's on hand here as well, though primary constituency was white males -- largely Anglo's (American, British + Aussie) and Slavs (Russians). This mass was in front of the stage, intermingling with hookers who nearly matched them in number.
I found it rather sad, the whole hooker-client courtship. Seemed to consist mainly of dancing (only during breaks), and most of the girls struck me as terrible dancers. Majority were Oriental, and one in particular danced with three different guys, all of whom repeatedly spun her, with dizzying results (the guys were all overweight and inebriated, but executed their part of the spin quite well…the hooker, however, didn't quite know the right moves and several times seemed ready to hit the floor!). Mark & I got approached by a black woman when we left our tables to stand and get a clear view of the guitarist, but it only took a simple negative expression (i.e., shaking my head in my case) to keep her moving on.
It was great fun, highlighted by the manager stopping by (with one of many bouncers present) to pay his respects to Eric for bringing some 'good girls' into his club. After the second break the amazing bassist also stopped by to trade tattoo talk (she sported a wealth of tattoos) with Heather --- both had one of those wrap-around jobs on their biceps.
Then tragedy struck. All the girls at our table went out on the dance floor during break, and when they returned, Heather couldn't locate her purse (which she had stowed under her seat). We immediately informed one of the bouncers. A surreptitious search began (I had no hope for recovery however…my guess is that the thief was long gone) with no results, and eventually we exited the club to visit the front desk of the hotel. Nobody seemed to have any idea what to do and Heather was distraught since her UAE Driver's license, e-ticket (not certain what this is), original birth certificate and various other forms of ID were gone. Fortunately Mark had the same ATM and credit cards, so at least we had the phone numbers to get those discontinued, which Heather accomplished from the lobby.
Folks from the club occasionally dropped by to inform us of their latest efforts. I was struck both by how upset they appeared, as well as their incompetence at handling the situation (indicators to me that this was a rare occurrence). After over an hour in the lobby we finally asked for directions to the nearest police station. Mark, Heather & I departed for the cops and we dispatched the balance of our crew home.
A short drive later we entered a Dubai Police Station and explained our plight to the two officers at the front desk. They gestured us to proceed down a hallway and wait to meet with the Duty Officer. We parked on a plush sofa outside his door, where animated discussions in Arabic were emanating and two men in dishdasha's stood around looking very sheepish.
Eventually Heather got summoned in. After still another long wait, she eventually emerged to inform us she needed to return Saturday with her passport to begin the process of replacing her UAE documents….sounds like it will take four months to accomplish! Worse yet, she was advised to report that the documents were "lost" and not "stolen" --- the latter route would likely add six months to the process without any benefits! And thus, our tour of a Dubai Police Station concluded, the glum trio returned home, arriving at Mark's apartment at 4AM (Heather lives in an apartment nearby).

Denver's road of tomorrow passes by a toll booth.
The stoplights last longer because it takes more time for the city's aging baby boomers to shuffle through the crosswalk.
And the streets of tomorrow are more crowded on all sides. The city's population will balloon by 2030, homes will pack more tightly together, storefronts will meet the street invitingly and push parking lots into oblivion, and reforested parkways will press a green roof upon us all.
Planners across the metro area are diligently mapping the tangible look and feel of Denver's future. From roads to buildings to landscapes, they will try to match soaring visions with clipped resources.
They are not yet giving in to the hopelessness of Thomas Friedman's book title "Hot, Flat and Crowded" — more like "Warmer, Cozier and Spruced Up." But they are facing the challenges of drawing a livable city for an era of growing population, higher energy prices and finicky civic consumers.
For Denver planning director Peter Park, the trip back to the future comes with a circa-1930s Denver streetcar map pinned to his office wall.
"What I see is Denver returning to its original roots in how it developed," Park said. That pattern of traveling, commuting, shopping and relating to neighbors is "kind of embedded in the DNA of the city," he said.
According to Park and other planners, that means Denver's changes will be concentrated in long-popular corridors and on favored blocks. If people are used to taking Morrison Road to get to Denver from Green Mountain, then the city must place more transit there, develop shops within walking distance of the houses, and spruce up the Morrison-Alameda intersection with trees, storefronts and inviting sidewalks.
If the Office Depot block and Market Street Station represent a daunting, unfriendly canyon for pedestrians to cross on their way from downtown to LoDo, rebuild the block. Eliminate parking lots and put corner offices and picture windows on the street. Make Denver urban, not through destructive, outdated "renewal" efforts but by consciously imitating lively parts of the city that work, such as 32nd and Lowell or South Gaylord Street.
Those streetcar patterns represent not just nostalgia, Park said, but a renewed consensus on how good cities work.
"In this country, we're relearning urbanism," he said. The decades after World War II were a national experiment in consumption, in cars, sprawling real estate and building materials. "It's become pretty expensive and unsustainable."
The density will be softened by a literal greening of the city, predicted Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, who has helped direct comprehensive plans lauded by national experts.
"We've planted over 110,000 trees — in 30 years, they'll all be big trees," Hickenlooper said. "Even the low-income neighborhoods will have shade on every street. People will have shade on the south side of their homes so they don't heat up so much in the sun."
Denver will still spread out some — the Denver Regional Council of Governments projects the 2030 city population at 716,990, up from 582,474 in 2006. Much of that housing growth will be in Stapleton and at Lowry, but 20,000 of those new residents will be living downtown. The Stapleton residents will be steered toward communities that "take the genetic material of some of the best neighborhoods in Denver and discipline it" into the right mix of streets, homes and shops, Park said.
The latest energy crisis, meanwhile, has brought new muscle to planners' previous efforts to create rapid transit, bike lanes and walkable communities. A bike path is no longer a cute "amenity," but alternative transit and traffic relief.
"Congestion will get worse; it's inevitable," said DRCOG transportation modeler Erik Sabina. "And we won't be expanding roads much."
That means more tolls to pay for revamped roads, train lines running to DIA and Golden and Boulder, and denser housing built next to light-rail stations.
"One of the things you do when you can't build more stuff," said DRCOG director Jennifer Schaufele, "is figure out how to better use the things you've got."

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Audi S4 Lease Questions
got to say that doesn't sound like such a great deal on that car. See my above posts about my recent deal on an S4 Stronic. you got 5% off. Without knowing the MF, its hard to say. seems based on my quick calcs with the taxes and fees capped its a bit high
Do not pay dealer fee of $699; there is no basis for it.
You should be getting a $550 credit for the advanced key option which is now standard on 2014 models.
You need to know the money factor being used to calculate your payment. Ask the salesperson.
Your sales price looks to be about $750 over invoice...with 2014 deliveries less than 6 weeks away, I'd hope one could do better than that. This car becomes a leftover very soon.
Here is I got more another quote with all the details, but it does not seem like any better deal:
Sale price: $54,665 (including shipping the car here)
Residual: 49%
Taxes (6.5%): $3,591.57
Dealer fee $589.99
Tag/Registration fee $42
0 down/36 months/10K: $838 a month (first month's payment due at signing, all fees are in.)
I appreciate any recommendations!
I got over 11% off a month ago, and now the 2014s are coming fast, Got to figure the dealers are sitting on alot of metal. I'd would tell them what you are willing to pay, an that you will not lease a car at a marked up buy rate. They are marking the MF up an evuivalent of 1.68%. That's insanity. There are MANY dealers that will lease at buy rate. and if they mark it up, then do as I did, and walk away until they knock more off the sell price. And unless things changed alot in three weeks, the AFS residual is 56% (stronic) and 57% with audi care. 49%? really...cant be
sometime I think I should go into business negotiating this stuff for people.
so what offer would you make on following car?:
Lease on a 6 MT 2013 S4 Premium Plus:
Sale price: ~$ 49.000 (based on % off you got)
Why is sales tax apparently being calculated off the sales price? Sales tax should be on the lease payments only.
Residual is WAY off. Dealer cannot/should not be able to adjust residuals EXCEPT if adding AudiCare (+1%).
What is the cost to ship the car...have that fee broken out. If you choose to ship rather than pick up, confirm "ship" means via truck, not someone driving it to your location.
As stated above, money factor is being padded. Insist on the buy rate, which I believe is still .00068 for 36 month leases on 2013 S4s.
At the end of the model year, I'd shoot for $1K under invoice, so offer $2K under. 6MTs are not easy to find, and if the dealer knows that is what you want, you may have sealed your fate. You can also start focusing on what the car does not have, like B&O sound, whether you really want it or not.
Thank you isle1! Appreciate your input - good catch, it does not have a B&O, at this time Im more concentrating on how much I could off MSRP on '13 models, MF and rate.
As far sales tax - We will no longer pay sales tax on the monthly payment as well as the ad valorem tax which discontinued in GA since March.
We are now paying 6.5% for the so called "Title Tax". So I have option to roll it into the monthly payment or chose to pay it upfront and be done with it.
So I will shoot for sale price of 49K, MF .0068 and include AudiCare in it...
we'll see
I agree with the above. I negotiate by email only. No emotions. No face to face. I only make phone contact after the deal is agreed upon, and only show up in dealer to sign the lease. I would push very hard too. no none is going to offer you a deal, you have to push for and make your own deal. Happy buying
I'm considering 2013 s4 with the following:
- 10k miles / year
- 3 year lease
- audi care
What's the latest MF and residual % for this car?
I'm also considering a5 and s5. Do they same the same rate?
So far dealers have been hesitant to provide the lease rates despite my specific request to provide detailed numbers. Not to mention that in Illinois we have to pay sales tax on the entire sale (not just depreciation) . So now I still have problems getting my spreadsheet to match what the dealers provide.
Thanks so much for your help. You guys are taking some of my anxiety of leasing the first time out.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Greetings klc3757. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 S4 Sedan Premium Plus with 10,000 miles per year are .00068 and 56% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier. The addition of Audi Care boosts the residual value by 1%.
The numbers for a lease of an A5 or S5 would be different. They vary by trim level as well.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Thanks car_man.
Didn't know there's a trim level difference but premium plus rate that you mentioned is the most common trim I've seen.
thank you, car_man!
Still question about residual value-> 56% Is this number set by manufacture, if so than audi dealer not should be change/modify that number, correct? I just got an offer where it says 53% and they claimed thats it, nothing they can do?! :confuse:
The residual is set by Audi Financial Services and varies by trim level, lease term and mileage.
36/10K is 56% residual. What is the term and mileage and trim level (P+ or Prestige) for the lease you were quoted 53%? Does the quote include AudiCare (which bumps residual up by 1%)?
here are the updated info:
Sale price: $51800
Taxes: 6.5%
Residual: 56%
0 down/36 months/10k miles "sign and drive" $824 per month, all fees are in
The payment seems high to me, but I can't run the numbers because you need to post what comprises "all fees are in". Were you given a credit for the Advanced Key which is standard on 2014 models? Your payment has gone up about $25 since you post on May 28, 2013, so all else equal, you are moving in the wrong direction.
I strongly suggest that you add AudiCare, which bumps the residual by 1%. So the $880 cost of AudiCare only adds ~$330 (plus interest) over the term of 36-months.
That sales price is only 5% off MSRP or right around $800 over invoice. Not sure what inventory is like in your area, but that's what I'd expect to pay for an ordered S4, not one on the lot.
I have audi supplier eligibility with 6% off msrp (I'll make sure the nav/tech credit is applied before the supplier discount is applied) and the dealer is saying that's the best they can do. How true is that?
I have no idea. Depends if you trust the dealer and/or believe the posts from other S4 buyers about getting larger discounts. Dealers that sell a larger volume of cars can often afford to give larger discounts because of incentives it receives from Audi. There are many that do not care for the 6% off MSRP supplier discount because they feel they can negotiate a better price without locking into that pricing program.
Often the best way to find out if the dealer can/will do better on price is to leave your contact info, tell them to call you if they can do better and walk away.
Thanks for the advice isles1. Lets see if I can get something better than the 6%.
Thank you for your reply isles1.
Since Im getting a car out of state, new way to pay taxes in GA confusing the dealer thats why differances of monthly payments. Any way I went back to them and offered $49,565 + Audicare... according to dealer it is way below invoice and not going to happend
bear in mind, I was able to negotiate to 11.25% off 6 weeks ago on a 2013 Stronic S4, msrp 58625. You know that invoice is fiction right
m4m which state/city are you in? Market there may be different.
IMO, invoice is no more of a fiction than MSRP. They are both reference points for negotiation. Most people know the dealer does not pay invoice for the car.
The fuzzy math comes into play when dealers add fees on top of the negotiated sales price, and buyers/lessee report paying X below invoice/MSRP and neglect to mention Audi incentives and trade value that further reduced the capitalized cost. The price you paid is the negotiated sales price before any incentives or trade value. Otherwise it is comparing apples to oranges because not everyone qualifies for incentives or has trade value toward the purchase/lease.
Im in Atl GA, but the car at the FL dealer - I was looking at local dealer's inventory but they didn't have what I'm looking for.
govmentcheese Posts: 5Be gentle i'm new to the forum and this is my first time leasing. Below is what i'm shooting for .
Sale price: $48300
Taxes: 9%
Residual: 56%
I'm hoping to put zero down for a 36 month lease with 10k a year. Is this deal even close to doable or is it too aggressive.
dfd3 Posts: 57Hi car-man:
Asked about a month ago, but you didn't have the info yet. Anything yet on MF/residuals on 2014 models? Specifically looking at 2014 Prestige, 36 month 15K lease factors. I've placed the order and production should be around the 24th of June.
In addition, can you post the June '13 factors for the same scenerio?
Much appreciated!
There is no pricing available for 2014 models. My suggestion would be to look at past posts in this forum that list the numbers you are looking for as they applied to S4s back in June and July of 2012. That should give you approximate numbers until the officials are released.
I am in NJ thinking about leasing an S4. The person that I talked to said they are selling the 2013 S4s at invoice, but then add on the other chargers, like destination, doc fees, ext.
If I get them down to a selling price I want (assume invoice), the standard buy rate and residual %, what else is negotiable? Can I say I don't want to pay destination or doc fees? One or the other? I understand the taxes are not negotiable as well. are "supplemental title fees"? Assignment fee?
I posted this in the other s4 buying thread and thought I would post it here too...

Destination fee is included in vehicle pricing (see window sticker). Should not be an additional fee (unless the vehicle is being shipped directly to you from out-of-state).
Title and registration (costs vary by state), sales tax, and Audi Financial Lease Acquisition Fee ($695) are non-negotiable.
Anything else, for example, doc fee, prep fee, dealer fee, are fees tacked on by dealer for additional profit. Refuse to pay.
Have dealer break down all fees, and provide to you negotiated sales price, residual and money factor. In the tri-state area, you have tons of options for Audi dealers. If the salesperson is less than transparent as to the figures that comprise the deal, walk away.

Boardrider of the Month: Lea Taylor
Scooter Newell
Boardrider of the Month: Lea Taylor
Interview by Scooter Newell
Lea Taylor has been skateboarding and surfing since she could crawl. I remember her bomb-dropping little ledges on her skateboard when she was only 3-years-old and doing whatever it took to keep up with the boys at the Skatepark that were three times her age.
Today at the Skatepark there are no boys — of any age — who can keep up with her. She whips through the pockets at 100mph and has one of the best "cradle-carves" out of anyone who has ever skated here. She will also throw serious chunks at you in the water while practicing for one of her upcoming surf contests. Lea is an all-around threat on any board and a great young ambassador for surf and skate.
Meet February's "Boardrider of the Month," Lea Taylor.
Name: Lea Taylor
Hometown: Cocoa Beach
Stance: Regular
Current skate set-up: Hoopla skateboard, Bones wheels, and Independent trucks
Current surfboard: Pelican Surfboards shaped by Todd Holland
What did you learn first, surfing or skateboarding? And how old were you when you started?
I learned to surf and skate around the same time, mainly surfing though, because Adam (my older brother) competed in surfing in the beginning a little bit more than skating. But mainly I started skating when I was two and entered my first skate contest when I was four. I entered my first surf contest when I was five. I learned how to surf once I could swim. I was 1-year-old!
What is your favorite thing to skate?
My favorite thing to skate is a bowl or a vert ramp. Anything I can go fast in, I'm all over it!
What is your favorite surf spot?
My favorite surf spot to surf is Sebastian Inlet. But my dream place to surf would be , Aquadilla, Puerto Rico.
What's up with competitions? Are you competing anytime soon in surf or skate?
I compete in all the local contests like Grind For Life, but sadly, I wish there was more going on in girls' skateboarding. I am competing in surfing a lot. I do NSSA, ASF, ESA, etc…
You just started a new school. What do you like most about it?
I like my new school because…

Knauf Insulation has launched the first in a series of online learning programmes. 'An Introduction to Sound Insulation' is designed to give an immediate, working knowledge of Approved Document E of the Building Regulations (Resistance to the Passage of Sound) in a format that allows people to learn at their own pace and convenience.
The use of insulation within the building industry is driven by what appears to be increasingly complex regulation with 'Part E' of the Building Regulations having gained a daunting reputation – the subject it covers is seen by many as being one step away from rocket science! Fortunately, a cornerstone of Knauf Insulation's philosophy is to use its knowledge and expertise to demystify the world of insulation, providing its customers with simple, easy-to-understand solutions. The new 'Klick-and-Learn' online series is designed to offer users a convenient, user-friendly method of gaining a practical understanding as and when it suits them.
'An Introduction to Sound Insulation' is divided into four CPD Seminar-style modules giving a distillation of the subject within a logical framework. The first module sets the scene by providing the fundamentals: basic theories, airborne and impact sounds, flanking transmission, the purpose of insulation and how it works. The second then reviews Approved Document E of the Building Regulations, setting out its key requirements along with methods of complying with it. Modules three and four go on to examine a variety of construction solutions including both the generic Robust Details and the PPST Details (Potential to Pass Site Testing) designed to cover the 'gaps' in the RD programme.
Each of the four modules can be used on a stand-alone basis allowing users to dip in and out at their own convenience, a quiz at the end of each module offering a quick, personal, assessment of what they've learnt. The programme is presented using an easy-to-follow audio narration, animated drawings and text that mirrors the voice-over.
"The programme has its roots in the Part E roadshows we held," said Stephen Wise, Knauf Insulation's Market Development Manager. "The feedback we received was worrying as it highlighted a lack of understanding and a preconceived belief that the subject was way over most peoples' heads. Hopefully the online tutorial will address this, giving insulation users confidence in both their ability to understand the subject and how the solutions we recommend comply with the regulations."
Knauf Insulation's Part E tutorial can be found in the Design section of this website.

Evangelical Ugliness Directed at the Pope
Unless you live under a rock, you know the Pope visited the US last week. There was much hope that this Pope might further soften the exclusive tone of Catholic doctrine as espoused by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), and while never moving to change doctrine, he did give several speeches indicating that he believed the Church's emphasis needs to move away from culture war issues to caring for the poor and taking care of our planet. This, of course, set the hair on fire of many of America's evangelical wing. When Ratzinger was Pope, they had a friend in Rome, but now the two branches of Christianity seem to be, once again, going their separate ways.
By now, a lot of the gloss has worn off the Pope's visit after it was finally confirmed that he did meet with Court Clerk Kim Davis. I'm going to reserve my comments on that for another article, so understand this is just an examination of how much the krazy kristian kooks of this country can't be satisfied…even by the Pope.
However, because he didn't get up in Congress, preach a homily, and give full-throated condemnation of marriage equality, he's on the shit list of the teabangelicals.
A commenter started it off with this: Continue reading »

Just think how different sports, not just sports TV, would be without instant replay. You wouldn't have those excruciating 8-minute interruptions while the referees determine who knocked the ball out of bounds.
OK, so there are some negatives to instant replay.
However, there are far more positives, thanks to Tony Verna's creation. Verna died Sunday at the age of 81.
From the Associated Press obit:
CBS used instant replay for the first time in the Dec. 7, 1963 Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia, after Verna developed a method to cue the tape to pinpoint the play he wanted to immediately air again. He said he was looking for a way to fill those boring gaps between plays during a football telecast.
The concept was so new that when Army quarterback Rollie Stichweh scored a touchdown, announcer Lindsey Nelson had to warn viewers: "This is not live! Ladies and gentlemen, Army did not score again!"
Instant replay quickly became a staple of sports broadcasting, and Verna's innovation gave fans a new way to look at the games.
"Not many things you can do in life where you can change the way things were happening before," Verna told The Associated Press in 2008.

Blendamaze: Written iPhone App Review
Here at the iPhone App Review, we like any sort of application that's going to test our mettle; especially if it involves some sort of menial task. As such, we've always been fond of those old wooden maze ripoff titles. Add to this our love for graphic design, and what you end up with is Blendamaze by developer BorderLeap. It's a unique hybrid of skill, strategy and color matching, the end result of which is wicked fun—and quite the bargain, too! For our full review, you need only to slide on down below the break!
Concept and Gameplay
Here's the essential concept behind Blendamaze: You're charged with rolling a marble originating from a variety of start points about a maze. The object is to dip the marble in several paint wells, mixing the colors until they're a certain hue. Match this hue to the color of the end point, and you've landed your self a successful run. Often times this means rolling the marble through several wells to get the specific shade. This also often means you'll be running about the maze several times in order to achieve the right tint. Miss the right well and land in the wrong one, and you'll have to get to painting all over again.
This sounds difficult because, to be honest, it is: That being said, it's the sort of difficult that has you begging for more. We enjoyed it immensely, and though we're already suckers for puzzle games, we still found the concept enthralling. The simple tilt-to-play mechanic is also easy enough for a monkey to learn, but yet complex enough to sustain just about as much richness as you can stand. Overall, Blendamaze is a brilliant idea wrapped in solid execution.
Graphics and Design
Best of all, Blendamaze looks rather smashing on the iPhone, too. The graphics are very well done, but more importantly, the color engine involved is spectacular. The specificity in hues pleases the designers in us to no end, so much so that we often just wanted to giggle at the screen. Granted, we're a bit more into the color system than most people, but even so, it's a solid effort. Furthermore, the levels have been cleverly laid out to provide just the right amount of challenge. You'll need to think about the maze just as much as you think about the colors, which is ace in our book.
Overall Value
Lastly, Blendamaze is a solid bargain, costing only $0.99 in the App Store. With a multitude of levels, each of which can be replayed to garner better results, we imagine you'd find it hard not to get a lot out of the app. Overall, it's a tremendous title with a great premise and an even better value. At the end of the day, that makes it an easy recommendation from us.
Blendamaze requires iOS 3.2 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. A small expedite fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this review.

Have you heard of Bounce SUP?… Well if not then listen up!
Erin from Vermont SUP was lucky enough to catch up with the Bounce crew at Surf Expo 2015 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
James, Ty and the crew talked with us about their new board design incorporating a Hollow Thermal Composite Technology or H-TCT. We asked Ty, Why he came to Bounce after working for some of the top board company in the industry? and he replied:
"Bounce made a board for Surftech when I was there as a sales manager called the B-1 that was originally a 10'6″ and it was the most durable thing that we had ever seen. There are roto-molded products out there and a bunch of other things but this is something that's patented and I really truly believe in, This is something completely different that is really revolutionized board construction. Its made in the USA and is really a no brainer for me."
James goes onto say that,
"It's really exciting because Bounce has a technology that no one else has. You go around in this industry and there's many marketing stories that they try to differentiate like shapes, designs, patterns, deck pads and whatever but for board technologies this is a truly unique composite not only in the Stand-Up Paddleboard industry but with composites in general. What's different is that we're replacing the epoxy resin with a thermo plastic resin, in this case polypropylene. It gives us the best of both worlds. We have a true composite board, woven fiberglass with extra material in the areas you need more strength but with that different resin it elongates When you hit a resin board it cracks. When you hit our board the resin expands and allows the fiberglass fibers to do what their truly supposed to do.
What type of paddling does the Bounce SUP boards fall in?
"We're not the race guys, We're not the Surf guys. Those markets are extremely saturated but the Bounce SUP board are great for the rental markets, fleet markets, the everyday household board, the fun board or the board you dont mind your kids touching. We believe we have a unique solution that does an amazing job but dont just talk to me get out there and talk to one of our customers." – James
You said you guys are based out of the USA?
"Manufactured 100% in Oceanside California, so we build every single board by hand that has ever touched the water." -James
Erin liked this board so much she is now the proud owner of her very own Super Cruiser Touring model with the H-TCT technology.

"Comedy Nights is a fantastic experience and I love Kapil Sharma!" - Kiku ShardaFollow us on Social Media
Follow @iamdesirulez
Tweet #iamdesirulez
Kiku Sharda refutes rumors of him quitting the show Comedy Nights with Kapil and says he loves the show too much to ever think of quitting it!
Even though Kiku Sharda has been around for the last ten years and has been doing the show F.I.R for the last eight years it was Comedy Nights with Kapil which made him a household name. However, controversy always follows popularity and same is the case with Kiku as he finds the pros and cons of success. "My morning today started with attending phone calls with all the callers wanting to know whether I am going to quit Comedy Nights with Kapil! I couldn't believe it..." trails off Kiku who is surprised as to how and where the rumors started from.
The actor who is quite active on the social networking sites immediately took to Twitter and tweeted about these being just rumors. He also maintained that he will continue doing the show Comedy Nights with Kapil.
There were reports of Kiku doing a show for Set Max with fellow comedian Krushna Abhishek and that is when the rumors erupted maintains Kiku, "Yes, I am doing a show for Set Max which will be telecast from 9th Feb to 22nd Feb during the breaks in between the 9 pm movie. There will be 3 gags done by me and Krushna along with a contest for the viewers. It was just a two day shoot which we have already finished yesterday. So where does the question arise of me quitting Comedy Nights with Kapil? There seemed to be some random article which made all these assumptions which are not true at all. It was absolutely baseless article which made no sense."
So what is his equation with Kapil Sharma and what does he think about the show? "It has been a fantastic experience working on Comedy Nights with Kapil and I love Kapil Sharma. His is a God gifted talent and I think I am very lucky to watch him live. It is a complete learning experience and there is no reason why I will every want to quit."
Kiku is going to continue to crack you up with laughter, so keep enjoying!

The Riverwalk San Antonio TX is the second most popular tourist attraction in this southern state city for good reason. It is a colourful, relaxing, as well as an entertaining way to spend a romantic day or evening.
On planning my trip to San Antonio I was excited to be going to see The Alamo, yet all the Texans I spoke to before my trip kept talking about the San Antonio riverwalk. I was curious to know why they were so excited. Apparently the riverwalk is disputed as either the first or second most popular tourist attraction in Texas. Little wonder there are over 20 million visitors a year to San Antonio.
The San Antonio river, sharing the same name of the city has gone through various guises and renewals. It was often a driver for commerce and remains so today.
The riverwalk in San Antonio bustles in the heart of the city with restaurants, bars, shops and hotels. A far cry from a muddy, dirty river of the early 1900s.
The origins of the development came as local people pushed for the river area to be cleaned up. Engineers worried that vegetation would hamper any suitable new flood defences. A massive flood in 1921 which swamped a lot of the city supported their view.
A suitable compromise has now been implemented making the riverwalk in San Antonio TX as a place full of lush greenery, thriving commerce, as well as a number of well disguised flood defences.
Early versions of what we see today was completed in 1941 by architect Robert H H Hugman (you may even see his name on the riverwalk). However with the 1968 HemisFair being held in San Antonio, the increase in hotel capacity and desire to make the location world class drove much change.
In more recent decades the riverwalk San Antonio Texas has been extended further to now provide a 13 mile stretch from Brackenbridge Park to Mission Espada.
There is often natural wildlife living by and on the river. So you'll never be short of seeing a duck or two.
The San Antonio river is actually quite shallow and narrow for the duration of the riverwalk. The water is maybe 2-3 feet deep.
The riverwalk pavement is at times quite narrow too. People can pass each other but at times it must be with care.
San Antonio Riverwalk Restaurants
You'll never struggle to find any San Antonio Riverwalk restaurants as they spill out with terracing towards the pathway. Little wonder the views make a romantic and picturesque setting to any dining experience.
Numerous bridges make crossing the river easy at almost any point.
There are also a number of beautiful man made water features such as waterfalls. Little wonder this is a place for lovers.
There is also a small heart shaped island on the river where weddings and photo shoots are held.
From street level you will find numerous signs directing you down to the riverwalk of San Antonio. Since it is located in the very heart of the city you will not miss them. It was also only a few minutes walk from my hotel.
The busiest part of the riverwalk is the almost square like flow of the river which is accessible from the streets of: Crockett, W Commerce, E Market, St Mary's, Navarro and Pressa.
You can also gain access to the San Antonio Rivercentre Mall and the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center as well as HemisFair Park from the walk.
San Antonio Riverwalk Map
You'll find the San Antonio riverwalk map is displayed along numerous parts of the pathway around the centre of the city.
If you don't fancy walking for long parts of the riverwalk there are boating options.
River taxis run fairly frequently and the stops are clearly laid out.
What you will notice are numerous boat tours by Rio San Antonio Cruises. These blue and red barge type boats dominate the central part of the riverwalk San Antonio Tx. Tours last just over 30 minutes and it helps you understand the history and features of this main San Antonio attraction.
You can join the tour under Market Street and Alamo St. There are ticket offices at both ground level and beside the riverwalk.
I found the boat tour to be very enjoyable and informative. Although be prepared for some rather corny jokes by the boat driver.
Here are some more of my pictures from the Riverwalk San Antonio TX
My main purpose for visiting the city was to see The Alamo, however I have to say the riverwalk San Antonio TX was a real delight to add onto my trip.

Theme Children
2012 Theme Child and Family-- The Whitings
posted by Denise Chasin at 2012-01-14 18:39:00
Shyanna and Takel Whiting
It used to be that each year we nominated a child as our Personal Ponies theme child but we realized that often it is the whole family that deserves this recognition. This could not be more true fort Takel Whiting and her family. Takel Whiting and her family have been involved with Personal Ponies since May 1 2009. We placed two ponies, Angus and ShyAnna, with Takel on May 9, 2009. From the first visit, our State Director, Donnis Mager knew Personal Ponies was what Takel needed. And now Donnis is the first to tell you that now it is our program that needs Takel. Takel is a true vision as to what the ponies can do for a child. Her first visit she could not stay on task more than a few seconds and was challenged every request she was given. Now almost three years later she is able to stay on task do what is asked of her including taking care of the ponies. Takel now halters and walks the ponies on her own and is always telling the ponies "you need to listen to me or you can not go for a walk!" When she first started with the ponies Angus and ShyAnna would run from Takel. Now they run to Takel for the LOVE she gives them. Donnis and her mother, Shelly will tell you that it has been an amazing journey. When Takel visits Donnis to see the new babies or the other ponies she will ask if Mr. Mager is home. She will knock on his office door and ask his permission to go see the ponies. She has become a very polite girl that listens to what people are saying. The ponies have reinforced her good behavior and have encouraged her beyond anything imagined. Donnis also talks about how supportive the family is of our program doing anything she needs to be helpful. The family now gets involved and participates in all of our community activity that Below is a copy of a letter Shelly sent to a few months ago. Enjoy the letter and the photos!
Leading Angus
To whom it may Concern,
My name is Shelley Whiting. I am the mother of TaKel Whiting, an Aspergers, ADHD 9 year old. When TaKel was 7 years old we attended a fair held at our local park. Here is where we met Donnis Mager and were introduced to the Personal Ponies Program. I filled out the paper work immediately and we were on the waiting list. We were overjoyed when we were placed with two Ponies that same spring. Up to this point our Therapy with TaKel had been all about external control. When we started implementing a routine with the ponies amazing things began to happen. The routine was simple, put lead ropes on and walk them up the road and back, groom them, and wait for the next day (I did the feeding). However simple the tasks, here is the amazing thing--- TaKel's therapy started moving from external control to internal control. She became responsible for something including herself. Her work was to keep the pony safe by doing what was best for the pony. Over the next year and half we have seen the transformation fully shift to internal control. She is now able to walk the pony, sometimes ride the pony with little to no coaching; she has gained a respect for herself and other forms of life. I won't say this all came without some great stories to tell, but it has come and we owe this 100% to the opportunity Personal Ponies has offered TaKel. We are currently working on training the ponies to be better suited for riding and carting, hoping to take this internal control to another level. Thank you so much for the program, we will always cherish the gift it has given our daughter and our family.
Shelley Whiting
Kisses for ShyAnna

How Can You Run A Restaurant Successfully?
It is true that the success of your restaurant depends to some extent on the economy, since a slow economy would mean less profit. But this is always not so simple. Consider the case of so many industrialists and entrepreneurs who stuff up their leather pouches with the maximum profits you can imagine. So what is the secret mantra that could make you rich beyond your dreams? Well, it all depends on management. If you use your creativity to find out brilliant solutions to all your problems, you could get ahead as fast as you can say "light year".
Managing a restaurant is not an easy job. You may start out thinking that your investments can bear rich fruits for you; while in reality, you can lose them as easily as possible. In business, you start small and end big. Maybe you have never tried your hands in handling a restaurant before. But that does not matter, what really matters is that you get enough experience of your own to learn the basic principles that are required.
Firstly, you need the pep talk. Realize that running a restaurant is very hard and complex work, and so you need to learn the nature of restaurants and the various objectives that are to be attained. If you are a weak soul, you really should not be here.
It does not mean that the moment you open up a food joint, you can start earning your dollars. There are other stuff to be taken into account, like paying for advertising, rent (if you do not own that place), food, labor cost, and customer service.


text: 2008 lost first two games, won GF 40 nil. 2009 lost first 3, win GF by 50 nil. That might sound like pure dreaming, but we can't right this team off yet. We've got the troops, just need them all on the field, and soon we'll have them. Actions: Got to stop trying to score off every move, resulting in handling errors. Still too many penalties. Stop whinging about the two refs (even though they suck) and adapt to it. Start bloody winning. Fans: Don't be fair weather supporters. Stick with your team through the lows and the highs will come. Locals get out to matches and make noise.

Oscar-winning composer Rachel Portman tells Adam Sweeting why she had to write an eco-friendly musical drama
For anybody who hasn't got the message from Al Gore or the Heathrow eco-protesters, there's another chance to boost their environmental awareness at the Proms next week.
Rachel Portman's new musical drama, The Water Diviner's Tale, is a BBC commission featuring a 40-strong children's chorus, with actor Nonso Anozie playing the enigmatic title character. Via Owen Sheers's libretto, the performers will reveal how the earth's natural harmony has been thrown into discord by greed, and commercial exploitation.
"The children have been displaced by an enormous storm at the beginning of the work, and they'll gather under a banner saying 'Lost Children', which the Water Diviner will have," says Portman, best-known for her film scores, which include Chocolat, The Cider House Rules and Emma.
"The children learn what has happened to their world, and the message is that if we act together, we can do something about this if there's raised awareness."
The Water Diviner's Tale doesn't deal in doubt or ambiguity: in Sheers's text, the earth has been ravaged by an unscrupulous alliance of scientists and businessmen, who have perpetrated such outrages as budget airlines, 4 x4 vehicles and flat-screen TVs. The Albert Hall will be no place for climate-change deniers.
"There are people who are paid to refute the whole climate-change issue," fumes Portman. "It's appalling, you see scepticism everywhere."
But, without scepticism, you might end up with gullibility. Surely she wouldn't be such an unreconstructed Luddite as to argue that all industrial development is bad?
"Absolutely not! In 'The Song of Promises' [from her piece] the scientists promise to use their skill, because they can find ways around anything now. But I look at my three daughters and think what difference are they going to see in their lifetime? We're going to have to be far less selfish in future."
The ecological message may sound familiar, but The Water Diviner's Tale is nonetheless a symptom of how, after decades of soundtrack work, Portman is stretching her creative muscles. She's working on an opera commission from the Met in New York, and collaborating with Nicholas Hytner on a Christmas production of As You Like It at the National Theatre.
She describes writing her 2003 musical version of St Exupery's The Little Prince, commissioned by Houston Grand Opera, as "a revelation".
"I had no idea how exciting it could be. To do a full-length opera after writing in film for many years was hugely ambitious."
She would have pursued a more conventionally "classical" composing career had she not felt alienated by the academic attitudes she encountered at Oxford 25 years ago.
"The music I was writing certainly wasn't pleasing my professors, because I wanted to write tonal music. I was told to go and study Webern, but for me writing music is all about communicating emotion."
When she proposed to submit her score for the film Privileged (an Oxford Film Foundation production in 1982 that featured Hugh Grant's screen debut) for her finals, her professor said this would guarantee her a third-class degree.
"Film music is not really considered proper music," she sighs. "There's always been musical snobbery about people who cross from film to classical music."
Her desire to write "music that told stories" led her to television, where she worked on films for Channel 4 and the BBC. By the early '90s, she had stepped up to Hollywood projects such as Benny & Joon and The Joy Luck Club, and in 1996 she won her Oscar for Emma, the first female composer to accomplish the feat.
"It opened all sorts of doors. I was starting a young family, and it meant I didn't have live in Los Angeles. I was immediately better-known, and it was all right for me to live and write in England."
A subsequent stay in LA confirmed her misgivings about the city: her rented house was broken into, and a dead junkie was found floating in the swimming pool. To her relief, she has been able to work more in New York, home to her regular clients Lasse Hallström and Jonathan Demme.
But wouldn't this Water Diviner chap tell us that flying to New York is an unaffordable luxury?
"You have to do what you can to conserve energy and live your life as best you can," Portman says.
"Water Diviner is a stepping stone to finding out more about how you can do something. It's not just for kids; it's for whole families."
'The Water Diviner's Tale' will be performed at the Proms (020 7589 8212) on Mon at 3pm.

text: I received a Hudson Triple Strap Satchel (in Smoke Blue) over the weekend. I bought it on eBay for $190. When I got the bag, I checked it all over and it looked to be in very good condition. I used the bag today for the first time, and when I got to work, I noticed that on the backside of the bag, there are a couple of spots where the leather is scratched and sort of split. I don't remember noticing that when I got the bag, although I'm sure it's possible that it was like this & I just missed it. I emailed the seller & asked if maybe she bought the bag from their sample sale, but I haven't heard back from her. I guess it's possible that the bag was slightly damaged when I got it & I just didn't notice it. I carried the bag on my arm for most of the time, although I did use the shoulder strap for a little while. It doesn't look like the bag rubbed up against me while I was carrying it, and I didn't drop the bag, rub it up against anything else, or scratch it in anyway. I have no idea what caused the leather to do this. I'm just concerned that this will get even worse over time, and the leather will chip and/or peel away. Has anyone else noticed that the leather on these types of bags is very delicate and/or have to be extra careful when carrying them? I really love the bag, but am so disppointed that this happened. I just don't want to see the leather on the bag get further ruined and I wonder if it's inevitable?


text: I tried a Iomega 2,5 external HDD 500GB. The games started but stop within the first minut to play, the wii hangs and the only thing I can do is reset. A 4GB USB-stick works very well. What's the best thing to buy? A 2,5 or 3,5 external HDD? The Iomega is on the compatibility list and is noticed to work perfect, but did not at mine (yes, for less than a minute ...).

We love living in Colorado, we have plains, mountains and the foothills in between. There is never a lack of places to visit and enjoy. One of our favorites is Manitou Springs, just west of Colorado Springs. It's just over an hour from our house and easy to get to. This past year we visited the Cliff Dwellings and Museum. We invited some good friends along and had the best time! The kids loved it! We visited the year before but with a school group so the experience was completely different. We all liked it both times we went. We also visited a natural spring fountain in town, that was fun!
The Cliff Dwellings are just minutes away from downtown Manitou Springs. Manitou Springs is located in the foothills of the great Rocky Mountains, it is just a little way away from Pikes Peak! Did you know that Katharine Lee Bates wrote America the Beautiful while she attended Colorado College in Colorado Springs? It is believed that she wrote several lines after visiting the top of Pikes Peak!
The Cliff Dwellings were home to the Anasazi people at one time. Read more about them HERE.
While at the Cliff Dwellings, the kids had an opportunity to grind corn the way the native people would have. I explained that they would have needed a large of amount of corn in their everyday life. The boys could not believe how hard people had to work for just one simple staple.
The actual dwellings are laid out really well to keep you flowing right along. They also have signs along the way to give you the history you are looking for.
There is a fantastic overlook complete with the super-fun, quarter-per-view binocular machine things. 🙂
Kids love looking through those!
Inside there is a awesome gift shop and a museum display area. Lots to learn! Self-paced too, just the way we like it!
Outside, there is also a huge teepee! The kids love this part!
After we left we headed to the main square and playground in Manitou Springs. They have a few natural spring water fountains in town and we went to Seven Spring Park:
We brought along some kool-aid mix and lemonade mix, I think Oliver's face says it all:
Although, I liked it, it's just like flavored sparkling water. The kids loved the park and playground, we ate some good food and headed back to Denver. What a fantastic day with friends! We love Colorado!

Speaking of one man's junk being another man's treasure...there is more. Yep I found even more junk, I mean...treasures that still have me giggling with excitement. We found some great bargains this weekend while looking for a picture frame to make into a gift for a friend. We hit up some thrift stores and ended up leaving with our hands full. No picture frame in hand (oops!)
Here are my bangin' bargain buys that I am hoping will inspire you to thrift next time you are in need of a little something. Why pay more when you can pay less?! (I think that quote is from a Payless commercial).
- Table runner - $4.00
- Restoration Hardware pillar candle holders - $5.00 for the pair
- Three brass candlestick holders - $2.50 for all 3
- Tecnica Ski Boots (in my size) - $20 I honestly don't know much about ski boots, but Matt informed me that they sell for around $400 - $500. I did a google search on them and they are pretty dang expensive. I used to ski years ago, but switched to snowboarding and have been wanting to get back into skiing so this was the perfect excuse to buy them.
- Burton Snowboard Boots (in Matt's size) - $40 As we were standing in line to check out, there was a box of men's Burton snowboarding boots in the book section. Never used. Matt prefers to ski, but also owns a snowboard. Oddly enough he doesn't have boots to go with the board? So we added those to pile.

Smart phones have unarguably evolved into an irreplaceable part of our daily lives . Think of how many times do you use your phone in a day? Quite a lot times I guess . With such an important device that's a vital part of our daily lives, It is rather shocking the mistakes and errors people make on smartphones, thereby unnecessarily expose themselves to security risks.
Here's a quick list of the most common mistakes people make:
(1) Not Locking Your Phone
It may seem stress to type in your screen lock password or draw your unlock pattern any time you want to use your phone but this is one the easiest ways to prevent unauthorized access and/or use of your phone. Hackers can crack any screen lock security with some given time, but this step gives you a basic form of first level security that will prevent most people from accessing your phone.
The best type of security code for smartphones are PINs or more preferably passwords. Screen patterns can easily be hacked. Set your phone to lock the screen after one minute of being idle.
(2) Not Turning On The AntiTheft Feature On Your Phone On
Not all smartphones come with this but with this option, the phone has a second layer of security. I once sold a Tecno H3 to one of my friends, I forgot that I set the AntiTheft feature on. Even after he flashed the phone, the AntiTheft feature was still in place. He couldn't use the phone until I unlocked it. One good thing about the anti theft feature is that once your SIM is removed, the app will anonymously send an SMS with the next sim card that's slotted in the phone to the number that you selected as security numbers.
Once your phone gets stolen, you've got nothing to worry about. Except of course your pictures..
(3) Joining Public Wi-Fi Networks
Some people are fond of doing this, joining any Wi-Fi network they see forgetting that this is also a major security risk. Information and data transmitted over public Wi-Fi networks are visible to anybody on the network if they know how to view it.
Hackers can easily steal your details and remotely access your smartphone. If you have to connect to a public Wi-Fi network, make sure you're using a VPN like Droid VPN or TUNNEL BEAR VPN . VPN stands for Virtual Private Network and is a method to connect to websites securely . Otherwise, use your mobile data network.
(4) Not Having An Antivirus Installed
Some people will go to great lengths to make sure they have the latest and most up-to-date antivirus for their PC but the protection for their smartphone is Zero . 85% of most smartphones do not have security or Antivirus apps pre-installed . Only a number of smartphone users install antivirus and other security software.
I recommend Bitdefender , AVG and Avast to secure your Android phone . By installing an antivirus on your smartphone, you also avoid transferring a virus to your computer via USB which is a common problem these days. Some damaged memory cards may have the shortcut virus that replicates itself many times in a PC as shortcuts to programs but this can be fixed with Smadav PC Antivirus.
(5) Forgetting or Refusing To Install Updates
Most Smartphone manufacturers use software updates to improve functionality and to fix security gaps. In general, you should accept updates to your phone's operating system as soon as you are notified. If you don't have enough data try subscribing and updating your phone.
The same goes with applications on your phone. Make it a habit to regularly update the software running on your smartphone.
We will post the concluding five (5) Smartphone mistakes tomorrow Thursday.

Here's a fun project I recently worked on for a client in Hong Kong - a customized shoe cabinet! I illustrated a whole bunch of girly footwear for this custom piece of furniture, a perfect mix for the artsy vibe of the client's new home. Can't think of a cuter way to store what (in my house at least) normally becomes a mountain of shoes piled in a corner.

Well, because without a doubt Kjaer Weis knows how to make a girl happy.
