August Just the Facts Reviews
4:50 from Paddington (1957) is one of Agatha Chritie's novels that I have read far less often than others (say...And Then There Were None or Murder on the Orient Express). I have watched various productions of it...including the farcical Margaret Rutherford version (which, apart from squishing Elspeth McGillicuddy and Lucy Eyelesbarrow's parts into Miss Marple and throwing in the extraneous Mr. Stringer, is actually fairly faithful to Christie's plot)...and Joan Hickson's version several times.
I've been rereading Christie's novels in publication order, but I'm afraid I've jumped rather ahead with this one. Fortunately, it's a BBC full-cast dramatization so I will feel fully justified in reading the complete novel when I reach that point in Christie canon.
The dramatization stars June Whitfield as the deceptively mild Miss Marple who takes on the case once her friend Elspeth McGillicuddy reports that she's just witnessed a murder while traveling on the train to visit Miss Marple in St. Mary Mead. As she looked out her compartment window at a train traveling on a parallel line, a window blind suddenly flew up and she saw the back of a man busily engaged in strangling a young woman. But after reporting the incident to both the railway officials and the police and an investigation by both parties, no evidence of a murder is found. It's suggested that perhaps Mrs. McGillicuddy misinterpreted what she saw--but Jane Marple knows her friend Elspeth. And if Elspeth McGillicuddy says she saw a woman being murdered, then obviously there is a dead body that just hasn't been found yet.
After determining the best place to pitch a dead body off the train, Miss Marple dispatches her young friend Lucy Eyelesbarrow (housekeeper extraordinaire) to work for the Crackenthorpes. Luther Crackenthorpe owns the country home that lies along the tracks and our sleuth is convinced that the woman's body is somewhere on the property. Of course, she's right--but tracking down both the body and the killer is going to be tricky. Especially if she's to find them before all of the Crackenthorpes go the way of the young woman on the train.
This was a very entertaining production by a talented group of actors. There was, of course, some paring down of the plot to accommodate the dramatization (rather than a full narration of the story). But the cuts that were made were hardly noticeable and didn't change the story in any real way. An enjoyable way to spend a mysterious evening. ★★★★

I've got quite a chequered history with reading Agatha Christie novels. I think I read too fast to pick up the clues so then the mysteries don't add up? I like the idea of a cast recording audiobook, especially if June Whitfield is Miss Marple. Sounds perfect!
Stephanie Jane--this really was an enjoyable performance. Quite a good cast all round.

ARIES: Over the six days from August 30 there's a big push on at work, or simply a desire to plough through your regular tasks. This can create quite a bit of aggravation but will certainly push you to peak performance. September 1, 2 brings variable conditions, particularly where work and health are concerned. There may be an unexpected opportunity for short-term work or a welcome break to routine. TAURUS: Children of Taurean parents will be very active during August 30 to September 5, creating a touch of aggravation for Mummy and Daddy. Passions also run high where romance is concerned. Taurean natives are seeking to inject a little excitement and fun into their lives during September 1, 2, so will be open to making changes to their career or life direction. GEMINI: In such a relatively cramped space, the home becomes a melting pot of emotions, aggression and ambitions during August 30 to September 5. Everyone seems to be stepping on toes. Gemini's inclination to get away from the mainstream of life is likely to be stimulated during Sunday and Monday. You simply need space around you to sort out a few issues. CANCER: Cancerian natives seem to be getting hot under the collar during August 30 to September 5, becoming rather vocal about their ideas and opinions, especially where kids and love are concerned. Sunday and Monday brings the opportunity for interesting and stimulating social events, potentially unplanned. Some Cancerians will create the opportunity to further their goals. LEO: August 30 to September 5 are great days for generating income. You have the method, means and good fortune to ensure that your personal money tree flourishes. September 1, 2 brings variety into the lives of leonine folk through the different people who pass through your life. Ideas and innovative trends are stimulated then. VIRGO: Virgo is not normally so aggressive, but circumstances combine to raise your temperature over problematic issues during August 30 to September 5. You will be very vocal in your expressions. Virgo is full of bright ideas during September 1, 2, enhancing their endeavours in legal, educational, and work interests. This is an exciting time for those on long distance trips. LIBRA: There are plenty of disappointments to get your back up during August 30 to September 5. People in general seem to let you down, money is an issue, and you seem to falter at times. Financial opportunities arise suddenly during Sunday and Monday, perhaps on the form of a refund or claim. You're full of fresh ideas on financial management then. SCORPIO: The six days from August 30 are high-powered days for Scorpio types who are pursuing career objectives and work. You cannot fail to impress as you create your own opportunities. Interactions with people in general are stimulating during Sunday and Monday, bringing benefits, exchanges of creative ideas, and the discovery of shared interests. SAGITTARIUS: August 30 to September 5 are brilliant days for you enabling you to climb to the top of the ladder, whether you are interested in social status or career achievements. Sunday and Monday are very different days with variable conditions for working Sagittarians. You'll be delighted with the freedom it brings and exchanges of ideas. CAPRICORN: Disputes can erupt in a variety of venues during August 30 to September 5, and much depends on how you handle it. You need to be diplomatic to manage any personal shortcomings. Capricorn people will be looking for something very different to do with their leisure time on September 1, 2 and will certainly find it. This is a refreshing time. AQUARIUS: Money or ethics are likely to be at the centre of arguments during August 30 to September 5, creating disappointment or resentment with a business partner or spouse. There are so many changes going on within your home at the moment, and you will welcome these during Sunday and Monday. You need a change of scenery and a breath of fresh air. PISCES: You can grow and learn through difficult encounters with other people, even those you think you know. The problem seems to be the impositions they place upon you. Pisceans are restless during Sunday and Monday, and welcome changes to their routines and opportunities to do something different then. You'll almost certainly have this opportunity.

Newly released video footage from North Korean state media shows President Donald Trump returning a salute to a North Korean military general during this week's summit in Singapore, an extraordinary display of respect from a US president to a top officer of a hostile regime.
In the military, returning a salute from a military officer of a friendly foreign nation is common practice for US military officers and considered a display of military professionalism. There is no rule that a US president is obliged to return a salute, which is considered a sign of mutual respect.
After Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un walked down a colonnade to shake hands, the pair entered into a room filled with various members of Kim's delegation, the video from North Korean broadcaster KCTV news shows.
During Thursday's White House press briefing, press secretary Sarah Sanders said Trump was just using "common courtesy."
CNN has reached out to the National Security Council for comment.
Trump frequently salutes people he sees in a military uniform, and he saluted Singapore military officials while visiting there for the summit with Kim. But North Korea operates one of the most oppressive regimes on Earth, and despite the President's declaration on Wednesday that the country is "no longer a nuclear threat," it is considered a major US adversary.
Retired Rear Adm. John Kirby, a military and diplomatic analyst for CNN, called the moment "striking."
"They can see a propaganda value here and this is basically them showing the level of deference and respect that Trump has paid to them and to their military leaders," Kirby told CNN's Poppy Harlow on "CNN Newsroom." "It was an inappropriate for him to do from a protocol perspective, but now he's played right into the North's propaganda about their legitimacy on the world stage."
Kirby said the appropriate thing for Trump to do in that situation would have been to nod his head and shake the general's hand.
"(Trump's) the commander in chief. He doesn't even salute his own generals. They salute him. That's the way it works. You don't certainly don't do it with leaders of foreign military and you most certainly don't do it with the leaders of foreign militaries of an adversary nation."
Trump's salute also evokes criticism President Barack Obama received early in his presidency when he bowed to Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah. At the time, Trump called Obama an "amateur.

Loulou and the Zulus: The Life and Death of Napoleon IV
Posted in Napoleon III, Queen Victoria, Second Empire, tagged 19th century France, empress eugenie, Napoleon III, Napoleon IV, Prince Imperial, Queen Victoria, Zululand on January 8, 2018| 2 Comments »
Napoleon III and his family
Napoleon the Fourth? Was there ever such an emperor? Strangely enough, the Zulus in South Africa can tell you more about this personage than an average Frenchman. The Zulus know him as Prince Imperial and, each year, they celebrate his anniversary with the local version of pomp and circumstance. And why wouldn't they if there is good tourist money in it?
Follow the road sign and you can visit the Prince Imperial's museum, his memorial financed by Queen Victoria, and the battlefields of the Zulu War. You'll be retracing Empress Eugenie's pilgrimage the year after her son's death. If you happen to be on this road the first Sunday in June, you can participate in a mass for his soul celebrated in French, English, and Latin.
Except for a few die-hard Bonapartists, Napoleon the Fourth may be forgotten in his homeland. For most of his short life, he was known as Prince Imperial, the heir to the French throne. In his childhood, he was the darling of the nation and, as he grew into a handsome young man, he became the treasured secret of many a young girl's heart. He was to the French what John Kennedy Jr. was to the Americans and it is easy to understand that his premature death at the age of twenty-three caused consternation and grief for the whole nation.
Marie Bashkirtsheff, a Russian art student in Paris, tells us about this somber day in her diary:
As I was about to leave the studio at noon yesterday, Julian called to the servant through the speaking tube; she put her ear to the tube, and she said to us with some emotion:
"Ladies, M. Julian desires me to tell you that the Prince Imperial is dead."
I gave a cry and sat down on the coal-box. Then, as everyone began to talk at once, Rosalie said:
"A moment of silence, if you please, ladies. The news is official; a telegram has just been received. He has been killed by the Zulus; this is was M. Julian says."
The news had already begun to spread; so that when they brought me the Estafette with the words in capital letters, "Death Of Prince Imperial," I cannot express how much I was shocked.
And then, no matter to what party one may belong, whether one be a Frenchman or a foreigner, it is impossible to avoid sharing in the feeling o consternation with which the news has been everywhere received.
One thing I will say, however, which none of the papers has said, and that is that the English are cowards and assassins. There is something mysterious about this death: there must be both treachery and crime at the bottom of it. Was it natural that a prince on whom all the hopes of his party were fixed should be thus exposed to danger, an only son?
I think there is no one devoid of feeling as not to be moved at the thought of his mother's anguish. The most dire misfortune, the crudest of losses, may still leave some gleam of hope in the future, some possibility of consolation. This leaves none. One may say with truth that this is a grief like no other. It was because of her [Empress Eugenie] that he went; she gave him no peace; she tormented him; she allowed him no more than five hundred francs a month, a sum upon which he could hardly contrive to live. The mother and son parted on bad terms with each other. Do you perceive the horror of the thing? Can you understand how his mother must feel?
England has treated the Bonapartes shamefully on every occasion when they were so blind as to ask the help of that ignoble country, and it fills me with rage and hatred when I think of it."
Thus spoke Marie in her youthful grief. That she seemed well-informed of the tensions between mother and son, tells us that she was an avid reader of the gossipy newspapers which began to bloom in that era. As for England's bad treatment of the exiled Bonapartes, she could not be more wrong. There was a solid friendship between the British royalty and the Bonapartes that was born during Victoria and Albert's visit to France in 1855. You can read about it in The Prince of Wales in Paris: Please Adopt Me! published here. Queen Victoria figured in Prince Imperial's life on many occasions. To begin with, when Eugenie complained about the difficulty with getting pregnant, it was her good friend Victoria, mother of a large family, who gave her a valid advice which resulted in the prince's birth.
Several sources reveal that Victoria reserved for him her youngest daughter Beatrice as a spouse regardless of the fact that after the Second Empire's collapse in 1870 he became an heir without a throne. Like the Bonapartes, Victoria believed that her dear Loulou would reconquer his lost empire. So did the still strong Bonapartist party in the now Republican France. Upon his father's death in 1873, the young prince became Emperor Napoleon IV by the Bonapartists' acclamation. It was—they hoped—only a question of time for the rightful ruler to claim his throne.
Napoléon Eugène Louis Jean Joseph Bonaparte, or Loulou to his family, was born March 16, 1856, and spent his early days in this splendid crib donated by the City of Paris. His godparents were Queen Victoria and Pope Pius IX. As the only child, he had no one to play with and his main entertainment was watching the guard manoeuvering in front of the palace windows. His love for the military was born there. Sometimes, he would also play at governing. Sitting at his father's desk, he would seize important documents and fold them into animal forms. His adoring father would not dare to protest. As an aside, had he lived and cultivated his talent for sculpture, Loulou could have become a brilliant artist. There were many promises in the boy's life, all of them unfulfilled.
The following video records the young man's life from birth to death. We see the delightful child growing into a Prince Charming, we follow him to the exile in England, and from there to South Africa, and witness his heroic death at the hand of the Zulu warriors. We assist at his funeral in England and see his mother's grief. The old empress then remembers happier times. All of it in six and a half minutes.
Marie was also wrong about the conspiracy regarding the prince's death in South Africa. On the contrary, the British Army and the government freaked out at the idea of taking responsibility for the young man's life. They wanted nothing to do with him and it took the joined effort of Eugenie and Victoria, with the special order from the latter, for him to be enlisted for the war in Zululand. Even at that, he was scrupulously kept away from the real action. Both women believed that the prince needed to cover himself with glory in order to succeed in his crown conquest. As for the man himself, he did not need any encouragement. Eager to become a worthy heir of his famous great-uncle, Napoleon I, he studiously sought danger to the chagrin of his British "baby-sitters". He found his death in a seemingly deserted kraal where he decided it was time for a coffee break during a recognition ride. In the video that follows, the event is reconstructed based on the statements given the following day by the members of the patrol.
There remain many what-could-have-been questions. What would have happened had the uncrowned Napoleon IV not lost his life that day? Would he have recovered his throne and brought back the Empire? How would that change France's and, to some degree, Europe's destiny? Queen Victoria might have hoped to establish her youngest daughter as the Empress of France, but would the French go for it? That remains doubtful. Would they have unanimously accepted an emperor who had been schooled in England, served in the British army and married a British Protestant princess? Questions, questions…

Smart design and super food at this Edinburgh Inn
The Inn on the Mile
82 High Street, Edinburgh
EH1 1LL.
http://www.theinnonthemile.co.uk
Outside tables at the Inn
On the corner of North Bridge and the Royal Mile, you're not likely to miss finding this Pub with its outdoor tables. Formerly the Bank Hotel, it's had a makeover to create a brash, bold new Bar-Bistro, with nine deluxe bedrooms upstairs.
The decor blends traditional architectural features with modern urban style. Designer Jim Hamilton decided to open up the space exposing bare brickwork, wood and metal girders for an industrial look. Couchettes and cosy booths offer comfy seating to relax over speciality craft and cask beers, whiskies, wines alongside hearty gastropub food.
The cool and contemporary Inn on the Mile is the perfect new name for this Pub with Rooms. This is the latest addition to the collection of restaurants and hotels in the G1 group (including Murrayfield House, Grassmarket Hotel in Edinburgh, as well as Glasgow and Aberdeen).
Timorous Beasties
Upstairs to the bedrooms, each floor is decorated with Timorous Beasties' iconic, handprinted wallpaper of buzzing bees and colourful thistles. Rooms are designed with individual flair, gorgeous roll top baths or power showers, luxury White Company toiletries and artistic touches. Homely essentials – tea/coffee, bar drinks, hair straighteners, Wifi, Sky TV.
Roll top bath luxury
No need to splash out the tartan, believed Hamilton – the décor is minimalist white and grey to create a fresh, smart modern space. Scottish heritage can be found outside around the Old Town. The aim for G1 property design is "striking the right balance between the building's history and its modern function."
So now down to the Bistro Bar for supper. We sat at a large booth with polished copper table top, and on this early evening the mood is warm and welcoming, busy and buzzing with locals and city visitors.
Cosy booth
The Bar specialises in Scottish craft beers, whiskies and an ingenious selection of cockt-ales – where beer replaces the spirit in fruity alcoholic concoctions.
Not sure what to order from the extensive drinks list, I chose a Beer Flight – three small glasses from a choice of six.
I tasted Flying Scotsman, Bitter and Twisted and Schiehallion, all labelled and served on a wooden tray. What fun was this! No. 1, dark rich, hoppy, No. 2, sharp bitter at first with sweet aftertaste, No. 3, oaty, light, refreshing.
Ken selected an Innis & Gun Rum beer which was the colour of raspberries with a very distinctive flavour.
The food menu features everyone's favourites – fish and chips, haggis (veggie haggis too) Caesar salad, burgers, steak pie, macaroni cheese, rump steak., soup and paninis. I selected 2 very fishy, softly cooked Smoked Haddock fishcakes served on a wooden board, with extra portion of fat chips. Ken very much enjoyed his Fish Supper, traditionally served in newspaper on a plate, so that you could eat with fingers or knife and fork.
Two generous portions of quality homely food, both simply delicious. No room for pudding, but those with a sweet tooth could choose apple pie, ice cream or fudge cake.
Recent reviews from international visitors staying at the Inn:
"Super friendly staff, amazing décor, funky, relaxed atmosphere, the food is hearty and filling. We would return in a heartbeat!"
"Great location to stay for exploring Edinburgh. Will definitely be returning to The Inn On The Mile".
The Waldorf Astoria comes to Edinburgh
The Caledonian Waldorf Astoria
Princes Street, Edinburgh, EH1 2AB
t. 00 44 (0)131 222 8888
www.thecaledonianedinburgh.com
The original Caledonian hotel 1903
There are several reasons why a visit to Edinburgh should be on your bucket list in the near future. At the recent World Travel Awards, from a short list of major cities including Venice, Florence, Paris and London, Scotland's capital was named Europe's leading destination.
Where to stay? The new look, revamped Caledonian hotel, a long time favourite of James Bond (aka Sean Connery), is now part of the world class, 5 star Hilton Waldorf-Astoria collection. Known locally as The Caley, the hotel has been a turreted redstone landmark at the West End of Princes Street since 1903, designed as a Grand Hotel to cater for increased tourism thanks to the Steam Railway.
The Caledonian Railway company was established in 1845, first linking Carlisle to Glasgow and Edinburgh, then within three years providing the first through service from Scotland to London. This was a major achievement, as until then travellers would have to take a ship from Glasgow to Liverpool, then onwards by train to London. Now with the opening of the cross border mainline, passengers would be able to leave Edinburgh in the morning and dine in London the same day.
The Edinburgh terminus, Princes Street station was gradually developed during the 1890s to create a network of seven platforms handling 250 trains a day. Before the era of car or air travel, journeys by train ruled supreme across Britain. Tourism in Scotland was proving very popular thanks to Queen Victoria, for wild landscape, golf, shooting and fishing. The newly completed Forth Rail Bridge would soon allow train travel to the Highlands.
The directors of the Caledonian company were astute businessmen who were not content in just running a railway. They believed that once they had 'the traveller in their pocket' then they should aim to keep and look after visitors at the end of the journey. With this vision, several city-centre railway hotels were planned for Aberdeen, Inverness, Glasgow and most importantly Edinburgh.
This was major investment requiring serious finance but finally the doors opened on the magnificent, pink Permian sandstone Caledonian Hotel in December 1903. Built above and around the station concourse overlooking Edinburgh Castle, with 205 bedrooms, restaurants and ballroom, this marble-pillared Palace offered a taste of opulence from décor to hospitality. The hotel's Telegraphic address was simply "Luxury Edinburgh".
Dressed in gold brocade, the ornately painted Pompadour Restaurant (named after Louis XV's mistress) opened in 1925, soon established as the most fashionable hotspot in town for dinner dances and haute cuisine.
Throughout the 20th century, The Caley welcomed visiting stars of stage and screen: Charlie Chaplin, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor and Sean Connery; from Edinburgh Festival performers to members of Royal Families across the world.
In 1965 it was the end of an era with the closure of Princes Street Station after nearly a century. But this gave the opportunity to expand the hotel with a new wing of bedrooms built over former platforms. Hilton took over the management of the Caley in 2000, ensuring a fresh modern start in time for the centenary.
The Caley Today
Fast forward to Autumn 2012: the Caledonian is reborn once again after a £ 24 million restoration and glamorous design facelift. Now within the Waldorf Astoria brand, the Caledonian joins the elite collection of elegant hotels from New York to Paris.
Welcomed by the doorman in tartan trews and top hat, enter the reception lobby with its crystal and amber chandelier, then through to the hallway with the sweeping transatlantic liner–style staircase.
The Art Deco heritage has been re-created with polished bronze, gold leaf, crafted rosewood with quirky Scottish motifs, thistle wallpaper and soft plaid tweed.
What is simply fabulous is the artistic theme of travel which embraces the life and times of the old Railway Hotel with the nostalgic ambience of the 1920s/1930s. The old station clock now hangs in a magnificent, glass-roofed Atrium, Peacock Alley, the place to sit and be seen for morning coffee, Afternoon tea, champagne and cocktails. And of course, classic Waldorf Salad is included on the food menu. It was devised in 1896 by Oscar Tschirky, the Maitre d' at the New York Waldorf, and celebrated by Cole Porter in his love song, You're the Top.
The 241 bedrooms and lavish suites are imaginatively designed for supreme comfort and style: WA monogrammed linen, vintage photographs of train stations, faux crocodile-skin "luggage-trunk" cabinets, Ferragamo toiletries in spacious bathrooms.
Lavish furnishings in the bedrooms
Bars and Restaurants follow the enhancement to create a classy, refined lifestyle throughout the hotel. The Caley Bar has booths and armchairs to encourage a leisurely drink – a cool Martini or speciality 1903 cocktail (whisky, honey, orange twist) with popcorn and tortilla snacks on the side.
Dining at the Caledonian is now under the culinary care of the Galvin Brothers who run the Michelin-starred Windows at the London Hilton. Upstairs on the Entresol floor the Pompadour, decorated with flowers and exotic birds, is a sumptuous Parisian Belle Epoque-style restaurant.
The Pompadour
First an aperitif in the intimate salon next door as you study the gourmet French menus, such as Ravioli of Rabbit, Seared fillet of Angus Beef, Poached Turbot, Tarte Tatin. Scottish seafood, beef and lamb are complemented with speciality produce from France.
I sampled a salad appetiser of tender slices of scallops, potatoes and artichoke, shaped like a flower on the plate, Roast Lobster, (from Scrabster, Caithness), stuffed with tiny sweet girolles, and a platter of French and Scottish cheese. This was a gastronomic experience and I can't wait to return. Friends of mine have visited several times in the past few months, and booked again for their wedding anniversary. The Pompadour is certainly one of the top dining rooms in Edinburgh – romantic setting, exemplary service, divine cuisine.
The Galvin French Brasserie
The attractive wood-panelled Galvin Brasserie de Luxe beside Peacock Alley offers a Prix Fixe menu and classic dishes: Oysters, L'Escargots, Lemon Sole, Coq au vin, Steak, Tart au Citron.
A breakfast feast with a buffet counter as well as freshly prepared dishes to order, start the day with your favourites, from coffee and croissants to Eggs Benedict; Le Petit Dejeuner is also served in the Brasserie.
Eat well, keep well. Workout in the Fitness centre with a swimming pool and for pampering relaxation visit the new signature Guerlain Spa, the first in the UK. Designed as a tranquil sanctuary to escape the city, experience specialist face and body treatments such as the exceptional Orchidée Impériale rejuvenating facial.
The Caledonian Hotel is a model of timeless elegance. This glitzy, glamorous renaissance now shows off its grand Edwardian splendour with a touch of contemporary pizzazz, as this much beloved Grande Dame prepares to celebrate her 110th birthday.

Guoman Cumberland Hotel
Great Cumberland place,
London W1H 7DL
http://www.guoman.com
The fabulous art gallery lobby
Prime Location.
Just around the corner from Marble Arch tube station, this is the ideal place to stay if you wish to explore the heart of the Capital's shopping and West End theatre districts. From the front door, wander along Oxford Street with its famous department stores and browse the designer boutiques of Bond Street.
Originally opened in the 1920s, The Cumberland was the first London hotel to have direct-dial telephones and en-suite bathrooms. Modern interior design and facilities have kept pace through the century, starting with the entrance lobby with the Wow factor: the vast, minimalist art gallery space with two imposing, impressive sculptured figures. Leading off at each side is a choice of stylish, contemporary bars and restaurants.
bars galore at the Cumberland
This palatial hotel has around 1,000 luxurious bedrooms, suites and apartments, including the Jimi Hendrix suite. Great Cumberland Place was the last known address of rock 'n roll musician, Jimi Hendrix when he conducted his last ever interview with music journalist at the hotel, just days before his death in 1970.
Hendrix themed suite
Bedrooms come in all shapes and sizes, with views of Oxford Street, Park Lane and over to Hyde Park. Be sure to reserve the style and situation of your preferred accommodation. The bedroom I was initially shown on the first floor was immediately above a busy intersection of buses, taxis and rush hour traffic, with no double glazing. I asked if I could possibly move to a room higher up or with a quieter outlook and I was offered a junior suite with lounge area, (sofa, armchair, 32" plasma TV), and deluxe bathroom (bath and power shower), bathrobe, slippers and soft towels.
All rooms have tea and coffee tray, wi fi internet and free access to the cardiovascular gym. Guests in executive bedrooms and suites have complimentary use of the Guoman Club lounge with PCs, newspapers and magazines for a quiet retreat or business meeting.
An Urban Resort –wining and dining
With a choice of Bars – the Patron, the cutting-edge Carbon nightclub and Momentus Champagne lounge bar – this is more like a Leisure Resort on an exotic island than a London city hotel. Over an aperitif in the low-lit Patron Bar – famous for Tequila cocktails and chill out sound track, I study the Brasserie menu of British favourites listed in simple shorthand manner – Beetroot, Macaroni, Mussels, Duck, Risotto. Moving through to the restaurant, I sit on a comfortable, long banquette, with tables well spaced out. To start I sample a generous portion of lightly sautéed Scallops on a bed of creamy risotto, followed by whole Lemon Sole served on the bone – (sufficient to share between two) with a side order of hand cut chips (naughty) and a green salad (healthy).
The brasserie
Breakfast is served in the Market which took me a while to locate downstairs, along a corridor around the corner, hidden in the depths of the basement level. It's a barn of a place to cater for hundreds of guests all wanting their coffee, toast and eggs at the same time.
Be prepared to a self service experience with few waiters on duty to assist or clear tables, except for pouring mugs of tea and coffee from large flasks. While it's more like McDonalds than a Hotel dining room, the range of British, American and Continental breakfast dishes is extraordinary. Allow time to wander around each buffet table and kitchen station to select your choice of fruit, cereals, pastries, omelettes, eggs, bacon and pancakes. Noisy and crowded it may be, but you can certainly enjoy a hearty breakfast to keep you going.
With all facilities for leisure and business traveller, The Cumberland ticks all the boxes offering an exceptional choice of upmarket bars and restaurants, private hospitality, meeting rooms and conference suites. At Marble Arch, it's the perfect district for shops, galleries, and city visitor attractions: "Great location if you want to shop," says one recent guest, " almost too convenient if you want to restrain the wife's spending!"
See the website to check out special offers. Who could resist the Guoman Shopping package with a £ 50 Selfridges gift voucher thrown in. Also upgraded accommodation, Club Lounge and dining deals such as Pre-Theatre Dinners and Romantic Stays with bottle of champagne and breakfast in bed.

An oasis of calm in the heart of London
Guoman Charing Cross Hotel
The Strand, London WC2N 5HX
www.guoman.com
Grand exterior overlooking the Srand
You could not choose a better location than Charing Cross Hotel – and it's a fact. Outside the door is a replica of the original Eleanor Cross the point from which road distances are measured to the centre of the London. The Grade II listed property was designed with a magnificent façade in French Renaissance style and opened on 15th May 1865, directly above the grand Station. Victorian railway companies were wise to build Station hotels as a way of "keeping passengers in their pocket." Today, that ethos continues with direct access to train and tube transport right next door. Staying on the Strand, your are within walking distance of Theatreland, National Galleries, Soho, Covent Garden and Thames Embankment.
Classic and Contemporary
The Guoman Collection has five distinctive hotels in London, as well as property in Shanghai, all part of a growing portfolio. Charing Cross Hotel was given a fabulous makeover a few years ago, preserving the original elegant features, grand staircase, rich wood and marble, now complemented with smart, sleek furnishings and facilities for the 21st century traveller. Unlike some global hotel brands, a unique, distinctive image is designed for each Guoman property.
From the moment you step inside the compact, oval Reception lobby, this does not feel like a large, city centre hotel (239 bedrooms and suites). The ambience is welcoming, friendly, intimate, like a Boutique design hotel. A short corridor leads to the lift and within minutes I am in my Deluxe double bedroom with windows overlooking the rooftops and lanes behind the Strand and beyond is the Thames.
Furnished in shades of soft cream, coffee and terracotta, the room is an impressive space with two armchairs, desk, plasma TV (Freeview), walk- in shower and bath, bathrobes and slippers, mini bar and hospitality tray. BT Openzone wifi is available at a charge. An umbrella in the wardrobe later proves useful. Bedding is exemplary: Egyptian cotton sheets, supersoft duvet and mattress comforter. The best aspect is the fact that I can turn off the AC overnight as it emits a loud hum. I can also open the window for fresh air. I feel relaxed and settle in.
Smart comfortable bedrooms
The Buckingham Wing is an Executive wing of 85 suites for business and leisure guests, offering extra special VIP luxuries, hospitality, internet access, Hypnos beds, dedicated check-in and concierge service.
Stylish, spacious suites
The Guest Experience
Visiting London on a business trip, the location is ideal, having arrived here quickly by tube from King's Cross. A small business centre has the use of two PCs if you don't bring your laptop. (A problem with logging on was quickly dealt with.) The exclusive Club Lounge on the ground floor is a quiet space to read a paper, sip a coffee or meet colleagues. Guests also have free unlimited access to the fitness gym. The Concierge was always at the front door greeting and meeting – and who could not be more helpful with requests and directions.
The Terrace Restaurant on the first floor is a sun -filled Brasserie with high windows overlooking the Strand, with a café-bar lounge next door. The Terrace is a popular meeting place for guests and non residents for coffee, lunch, afternoon tea, pre-theatre suppers and dinner serving modern British and international cuisine. The ornate Betjeman banqueting hall and function suites are ideal for Corporate events, private dinners and weddings.
The General Manager, Riddian Davies, (with a wide hotel and hospitality background in Fiji and South Africa) is young, enthusiastic and clearly passionate about creating an exciting, smart-casual lifestyle experience at Charing Cross. The emphasis is on a simple interior design to enhance relaxation and entice the senses. The use of light, sound and fragrances to create the atmosphere of an urban Spa is the underlying concept. This might sound like corporate marketing speak but after an overnight stay, the subtle manner in which atmosphere and accessories change between day and night is quite magical.
Arriving back at 10pm after an evening out, the grand white hallway is lined with a river of warm, welcoming Tea lights. The softly lit Terrace Lounge Bar with its leather club chairs and buzzing with people sipping wine and cocktails, is friendly and inviting. Later, from the appetising room service menu, blending modern dishes with old favourites, I enjoy a tasty late night supper.
Restaurant with fine views
The following morning I am amazed to see how the Terrace Bar and Restaurant have been simply transformed with draped white tablecloths into a Parisian-style Café for a leisurely breakfast.
In a nutshell …
This is no ordinary London city centre hotel: Here the guest is treated with personal attention from arrival to departure without all the 5 star formality and fuss. Bedrooms offer space, home comforts and a hint of luxury for complete rest and relaxation. Attention is given to cool design, smart attitude, quiet ambience and fine hospitality. Just like the 19th century travellers arriving by train at Charing Cross station, the timeless, ever-fashionable Charing Cross Hotel is an oasis of calm in the true heart of London. A Destination hotel indeed.


It's not uncommon for potential brides to wonder if I do any formal family shots and my answer is absolutely. Family formals are incredibly important and even on the rare occasion when a bride asks if we could not do them I encourage her to do at least a few. But beyond the family formals I believe there is something even more important to remember on your wedding day and that is including those who are so incredibly special to you in the day beyond the formal groupings. When shooting a wedding my goal is to always focus on the relationships around the couple. By standing back and looking for them I can always find the quiet moments between a bride and her grandmother, bride and her mother, the groom and his father. While I believe the family formals are a must on the wedding day, I feel that capturing the natural relationships and interactions is the most important job I can have.

Familiar friends are named as England Rugby players in the new 6 nations line up
added on 15 January 2016
The 33 man England squad for the 2016 Six Nations was announced today and Tom Hixson is very proud to see two regular customers among the list of the named players; Sam Hill and Elliot Daly. The pair are two of seven uncapped players named in a new look squad.
New coach Eddie Jones has already made headlines, with a more youthful set up compared to his predecessor. After a massively disappointing campaign in last year's World Cup the England team have made some big changes, naming the first foreign coach in their history and a Six Nations squad that is very much a mix between form and potential. Since the competition changed in 2000 England have won four times, although are now without a win since 2011. Both players are expected to be contenders to appear in the opening game against Scotland, with Elliot Daly many people's favourite to start at Centre.
'Tom Hixson of Smithfield offers an unparalleled service. They worked with me closely to deliver an excellent variety of produce which is full of amazing flavours and has all the nutritional values I require.'- Elliot Daly
Tom Hixson's support Elliot Daly and Sam Hill by providing them the ideal food for building and maintaining peak physical performance, our Ultimate Protein Box provides high amounts of protein and low fat, with all our cuts sourced of the highest quality.

Baltimore City Public Works Director Rudolph S. Chow, P.E., today announced that the agency has received the 2018 Water Environment Foundation's (WEF) Public Communication and Outreach Program award for the YH20 Water Mentoring Program. This DPW program prepares young Baltimoreans for a career in the water industry. The award will be presented at the Water Environment Federation's Annual Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC), which will be held later this year in New Orleans. The award recognizes WEF members and other organizations for significant accomplishments in areas that include public awareness, engagement and education. The YH20 program launched in January 2015 as the Baltimore City Water Industry Mentoring Program. It was re-branded with new logo and program title to be showcased as a national model as program inquiries mounted from water industry agencies. YH20 addresses the need for trained workers as seasoned professionals retire or leave the water industry.
DPW partnered with the Chesapeake Water Environment Association (CWEA) and the Mayor's Office of Employment Development (MOED) to create YH20. Working together, these partners designed a program structured for Baltimore young adults that could benefit from career guidance and support. To date, 41 young adults have completed the program. These graduates are now permanent employees of the Baltimore City Department of Public Works, with a few working in Baltimore County government and in private water industry firms. YH20 is now in its fourth year with a class enrollment of nearly 20.
YH20 accepts applications in January and is open to young adults between the ages of 18 and 24, with a high school diploma or GED. Applicants must be unemployed or underemployed and not enrolled in a job training or post-secondary education program.
The Baltimore City Department of Public Works is a "Utility of the Future Today," a designation maintained for innovative water utilities that provide consistent and resilient, value-added service to communities, particularly community engagement, partnering and watershed stewardship.
A sewer overflow in the 3500 block of Gelston Drive released about 19,170 gallons into the Gwynns Falls before it was stopped on Friday, April 19. The cause of the overflow was related to a blockage created by, among other things, grease and improperly discarded rags.
BIG TRUCK DAY has a new location and a new time: Saturday, May 11, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., at Rash Field in Baltimore's beautiful Inner Harbor. Rash Field is located at 201 Key Highway, at the foot of Federal Hill, and adjacent to the Maryland Science Center.
Public Works Director Rudolph S. Chow, P.E., reminds Baltimore City residents that Good Friday, April 19, 2019, is a City holiday. Department of Public Works' offices and yards will be CLOSED that day. There will be no solid waste or recycling collections on that day.
Trash or recycling that is normally collected on Fridays, will be collected on the make-up day, Saturday, April 20, 2019.
The Baltimore City Department of Public Works supports the health, environment, and economy of our City and region by cleaning our neighborhoods and waterways and providing its customers with safe drinking water and sustainable energy practices.

Q: Lagged exponential moving average of a vector Given a simple vector of 82 observation
x = c(102, 104, 89, 89, 76, 95, 88, 112, 81, 101, 101, 104, 94, 111, 108, 104, 93, 92, 86, 113, 93, 100, 92, 80, 92, 126, 102, 109, 104, 95, 84, 81, 103, 83, 103, 83, 58, 109, 89, 93, 104, 104, 123, 104, 93, 76, 103, 103, 100, 105, 108, 90, 122, 103, 114, 102, 87, 98, 88, 107, 102, 80, 81, 96, 107, 105, 113, 98, 93, 104, 94, 107, 107, 97, 102, 82, 90, 97, 124, 109, 96, 92)

I would like to perform EMA (Exponential Moving Average) of this vector in such a way:

*

*The 1st element of the new vector should be NA

*The 2nd element should be the first element of the original vector

*The 3rd element should be the EMA of the first and second elements of the original vector

*The 4th element should be the EMA of the first three elements of the original vector
...

*The 82th element should be the EMA of all the values of the original vector except for the last one
The ideas are to to place greater weight on the most recent vector elements and that also the last elements of the new vector is affected (although infinitesimally) by the first elements of the orginal vector.
I tried achieving this using the function EMA from the package TTR and lag from dplyr
> library(dplyr)
> library(TTR)
> lag(EMA(x, 1, ratio = 2/(81+1)))

 [1]        NA 102.00000 102.04878 101.73052 101.42002 100.80002 100.65855 100.34981 100.63396 100.15508 100.17569

[78]  98.57964  98.54111  99.16206  99.40201  99.31903

But that's definetely not the result I was looking for.... what I'm doing wrong?
I wasn't able to find any comprehensive documentation about ratio argument on internet, and I'm not sure I've got this clear.
Can anyone please help me?
To get things more clear:
the result i reached until now is the following:
> library(runner)
> mean_run(x, k = 7, lag = 1)

[78]  97.00000  97.42857  99.85714 100.14286 100.00000

So this is the Simple Moving Average (SMA) over k=7 observations i obteneid with mean_run function from runner package.
Now i would like to "improve" this moving average by placing exponential increasing weights on each observations and making sure that also the last element is affected by the first one (the weight for that observation should be as close as possible to 0). That means that the window sizes for the rolling average will be:

*

*n=0 for the 1st element (i.e. NA)

*n=1 for the 2nd element (i.e the 1st element of the original vector)

*n=2 for the 3d element (i.e. the EMA of the 1st and 2nd elements)

*n=3 for the 4th element (i.e. the EMA of the 1st,2nd and 3rd elements)
...

*n=81 for the 82th element (i.e. the EMA of the first 81 elements)
I still wasn't able to find any good documentation about the ratio arguments (i.e alpha), but i think it should be settled aribitrarily, but I'm not sure about that

A: Assuming that you intended what you wrote, i.e. a lagged exponential moving average and not a lagged weighted moving average defined in a comment, we define the iteration in iter and then use Reduce like this.
alfa <- 2/(81+1)
iter <- function(y, x) alfa * x + (1-alfa) * y
ema <- c(NA, head(Reduce(iter, tail(x, -1), init = x[1], acc = TRUE), -1))

# check

identical(ema[1], NA_real_)
## [1] TRUE
identical(ema[2], x[1])
## [1] TRUE
identical(ema[3], alfa * x[2] + (1-alfa) * x[1])
## [1] TRUE
identical(ema[4], alfa * x[3] + (1-alfa) * ema[3])
## [1] TRUE

The lagged weighted moving average in the comment is not an exponential moving average and is unlikely what you want but just to show how to implement it if the second argument to rollapply is a list containing a vector then that vector will be regarded as the offsets to use.
library(zoo)
c(NA, x[1], rollapplyr(x, list(-seq(2)), weighted.mean, c(alfa, 1-alfa)))

R&B-Pop Singer, Kia "Babydoll"Jeffries: Life, Motherhood & Music.
Kia Jeffries has always been a standout vocalist who's unafraid to make melodious noise. In fact, many might remember her as the buoyant voice behind Akinyele's smash hit, "
Put it Your Mouth."
The provocative number spiked at #18 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, #5 on the Top Heatseekers, and #127 on the Billboard 200. Jeffries actually owns 5% credits on Jeremih's song, "Planes," where J Cole is using Jeffries verse from the same single. Dopeness, right?
"Me and Akinyele are from Left Frank, Queens. He's like a brother to me. He called me and told me he had an idea for this record. So, he came to my house with the hook. I was shocked but sang it. He did his verse, and the record became a success." The lyrics to "Put It In Your Mouth" is a roguish contribution to the Hip Hop culture. The single hit in a way that it broadened perspectives about sensuality, which lead to more stimulating conversation behind closed doors between people that related to the cut.
According to other news sources, Jeffries spent a month in Yokohama, Japan with a Harlem based band.
Technically, she got her first deal on Epic Records with a 4 girl group named Oscar in the early 90's. The bombshell co-wrote three songs on the album release called Spotlight, including a single with recording artist Carl Thomas.
Jeffries was also part of the R&B Group called 4Kast. The quartet graced us with the contemplative single, "I Tried." Presently, the vocalist is host to her own show called "It's Bigger Than Hip Hop." "We do this in Atlanta every Friday. We interview major people like David Banner, Dr. Lynn Richardson and many others." She is also co-host alongside Jeff Hodges, for an interactive program called "The Day Party," which is recorded at Live Hip Hop Daily TV Studios Atlanta, Georgia 30313. "The event is every first Saturday of the month. It will be on iHeartradio.com, Hip Hop Daily, and Beasley Media Group. We are filming live. This is live audiences, real reactions and live performances. We are going to talk about everything sexy, and cool. We are talking about finances and addressing credit and financial security."
Jeffries paid her dues to the music industry, but she still manages to help others get their foot through that same revolving door. "I'm not going to lie," she confessed. "I'm a creative person, but I'm not going to play these industry games that they want you to play. A lot of times, I must wait my turn, so I can do something that's real— I'm cool with that. I love singing. I love entertaining and I love writing songs. I love music, I love hearing other people's music. I love hearing her sing, him sing, and I love hearing her rap, as well as him rapping. I enjoy helping other artist get their stuff together, too. I will always do this. I can't do anything else." The songstress found her own way into music after receiving a light nudge. "I always wrote lyrics in my notebooks. I filled those notebooks with lyrics, of songs I loved that played on the radio. I learned those songs word-for-word, and I would sing them. I took piano lessons when I was about 8 or 9 years old. The instructor told me one day, "You aren't playing the piano, you're going to sing. She asked me if I was okay with that. I said, 'Yes.' She started vocal-training me. I liked it [singing] more than the piano. I stuck with that. I still play the piano, but I loved singing. She is the one that taught me everything. I did a classical debut at a church when I was 14, and by the age of 15, was doing Showtime at the Apollo. I won a few times, too."
Trying to get a record deal in the early 90's seemed next to impossible unless you really had the chops to sing. There wasn't a such thing as SoundCloud or YouTube... Eeh, "You," what? Artist swam with the sharks, just to get noticed. Jeffries remembers vividly, the way it was back then when she first came out. "I think artist today, they are missing out. I met great people and I was able to sharpen my skills. I went to the open mics, and it was different back then. We didn't pay for performances. If you showed up, you blessed the mic and you blessed the stage with your performance. People are missing out on auditioning and singing back-up. I used to do these gigs, and I'd sing at a wedding or Bar Mitzva and they had agencies where they set the band up. That's how I paid my bills. I auditioned and sang backup for Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, as well as Chaka Khan. I went overseas with Chaka Khan. I auditioned for Daryl Hall, who was with Hall and Oates. However, my most memorable performance was with Akinyele. When I sang backup for Chaka Khan, it was during the summer. We toured all over Europe and Germany. We opened for Prince. She also opened for George Benson, at the time. There was 70,000 people outdoors just waiting to meet Prince. It was amazing," says Jeffries excitedly.
The most fluid and humble memory of them all is when Jeffries met Notorious Big. Jefferies admits that she had a serous groupie-moment, and who could blame her? Notorious Big was a metaphoric genius, hands down.
"I also met Stevie Wonder when I was touring with Chaka Khan. That was amazing. He shook my hand and hugged me. He said a joke—I was talking to someone and he said, "Let me see." Eventually, Chaka Khan and Jefferies parted ways… "I was feeling myself to much, but it's all good. That was probably the catalyst for me and my solo career," reveals Jeffries about the ending of one season and the beginning of another. "From the 90's until now, it seems like a bunch of guys, they will choose one female to champion. They'll push the one chick [to stardom]. It was never like a female movement [where women pushed each other]," Jefferies talked about the divide, while marching into the industry as a female singer. "They [Lil' Kim with other female rappers, Da Brat, Missy "Misdeameanor" Elliott, Angie Martinez, and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes] finally came with "Not Tonight [Ladies Night]," and that was cool; but, that was it. Then, in the 80's, it was so male dominated-- It was interesting to find your footing as a woman and not play yourself. A lot of women were out here, laying down with men and opening their legs. I wasn't one of those girls. I had to maneuver. I was a lady. My mom was a bougie, old-school chick, because that's who she is. I had fun, but I didn't get caught up in the drugs, or sex and all that stuff. I didn't hang at peoples houses. I was familiar with the negative things that came with that. The record label would call us at two in the morning to come into the studio. They didn't want us to go to a club… they called at that time because they were looking for something else. Nah, I'm good. Just because it's a label, it doesn't mean I need to go do that. That's my lesson. Be true to yourself and rock out, and don't feel like that you need to put yourself in a box. When I did the "Put it In Your Mouth," people would always single me out as that girl. I would correct them and say, No, I am Kia Jeffries. I love God and He loves me. I love to share His word through song. I love working with kids as well." The loves telling her story to the young girls. Aside from that good-will, Jeffries is busy making music. "I have a single called The Stalker that I'm promoting right now, and I'm finishing up my album called Insomnia. The album is really about my life and things I've been through to the point I can't sleep. I've had insomnia most of life. The singer and song writer is balancing her life to the best of her ability, which is divided into several adoring areas of family, music and dating. "My son turned 21, so I flew out to celebrate with him. My son is on a full scholarship at the University of Illinois. He is a sophomore in college. He's doing his thing. I miss him so much because he's so far. It's tough. Balancing, period… I'm an only child. My mom, she isn't married. I'm kind of like her. When I'm gone, she misses me. I must tell her that technically, I live in Miami. I moved to Miami two years ago. But, I'm in Georgia more than I'm there. We have a family business that we run out of a Atlanta. We have a call-center, where we answer telephones for businesses. We opened the branch in Georgia. Our aunts owned it for 30-years. I'm helping with that. I'm just busy. I recently just started dating someone. I've been single for years, and I just started dating someone a few months ago. That's been a very big challenge. I like him but, I was single for a reason, so I could focus on my career. I'm kind of getting my life back."
Jeffries concludes that even though she wasn't really looking for a beau, she was open to the idea. The rest fell tidily into place. The singer expressed that when you are in business for yourself, may it be music or otherwise, people looking to date, shouldn't miss out on the opportunity of getting to know other people. "We got to find our own happy and then find a mate and partner. Love someone where they are and rock out with them," she says. As an artist, visionary, creator and motivator, Jeffries wants to be known as someone who's not afraid to walk boldly in her truth. She had her fair of troubles as a result of domestic violence. That part of her life is over although it will never be forgotten; moreover, Jeffries wants to use her past as a platform, to help inform other women. "I dealt with domestic violence and mental health issues. I want to talk about that. I want to speak with many women and speak about how we should find our own happiness Then, find a mate and a partner. You cannot expect for your mate or your kid to make you happy. If you're doing that, you're going to be chasing nothing. People gotta live their lives. You can't force them to do whatever. You gotta find that happiness, which is you. You can't force someone to be with you and you can't force someone to be what you want them to be. Love some where they are and rock out with them. If they are not compatible—People want to get with someone that looks good to them, but they are not necessarily for you. Jeffries is all about creating good vibrations and being someone of standards.

DesignK's Tea for One Table - "Handmade in England and inspired by traditions like afternoon tea, these cheery designs melt our hearts." I agree!
Katie Brown - Silk scarves designed and finished in Northern Ireland, printed in Macclesfield. On my Christmas wishlist.
Stylist Marlies Winkelmeier and designer Alice Fleger of Dandelion Tree admiring Thornback & Peel designs.
Thornback & Peel's shop is just down the road from the British Library. We'd love for founders Juliet and Della to visit the Library and check out our print collection!
Eleanor is behind the Hampstead-based letterpress design studio Marby & Elm. I immediately thought of the Library's Evanion Collection of Victorian ephemera when I saw her designs. The type she uses has a very similar style and feel to Victorian posters and handbills produced for plays, exhibitions and circuses. When I told Eleanor I worked at the Library she squealed with delight and plans to come in and check out our typography collection.
There is so much for designers to be inspired by at the Library. Check out our FREE show & tell of our gorgeous Exotic Prints and Drawing Collection. I could see a lot of the birds and flowers in the collection designed for a scarf, table or wallpaper and hopefully then sold at Craft Central!

I got Ducati heated grips installed by the dealer and they do not look good. Hopefully the attached picture shows the problem, which is a significant gap between the end of the grip and the end of the bar. I checked this with the Ducati dealer and they tell me this is the right part and it is fitted correctly, but the heated grips are shown as "no longer available" from Ducati.
This doesn't make sense to me, so can anyone else with the genuine Ducati heated grips post a picture, so I can compare with mine?
I have never had heated grips before so didn't know what to expect. I appreciate the comment as I would like to get as many opinions as possible.
I would like to know if that is correct as I ordered heated grips with mine and the delivered bike without them, dealer saying they are on back order .
Hey Alberta, I just had the 1000k service done 2 weeks ago and asked when the heated grips would be available. I was told that they are not yet available for the 950. Is it possible they tried to fit the 1200 heated grips onto your bike?
I thought the same thing Joe, especially as there are different part numbers for the 1200 and the 950 grips. Unfortunately the dealer claims to have checked the part number and verified they have the right grips. However, that was when they found the part they installed in now now longer available.
I think I am going to get stuck because they don't want to admit making a mistake, but agree the grips look awful. Hence I need some evidence that there are better looking Ducati grips out there.
Spoke to my Dealer yesterday and they told me the grips are due in end of November.
So I'm assuming there's a problem with the ones they have at moment.
November eh.... just in time for when it starts to get cold.
I'll carry on using my heated Gerbing gloves instead.... they are so much better than heated grips in my opinion.


This beautiful, one of a kind charm bracelet features a piece of an abstract painting in a metal bezel, with resin on top. It is one of a kind and comes with a beautiful orange stone. It is uniquely yours!


Drake Bell was born in 1986, which means 25 years old.
Don't forget Kenan Thompson of Kenan and Kel who moved on and he's currently part of the cast of SNL (Saturday Night Live).
Thats good that he's finally leaving Nick, though a Spiderman Cartoon isn't exactly a huge leap foreward, but I guess being a teen star in the 90's probably isn't the optimum job... I mean with the people from the 90's, the generation who watched them (My generation) is just starting to get into adult-hood, so they're gonna start comming back when the people from my generation are remembering the actors that really made our childhoods, and want to see them again.
Talk about jumping the shark. Another one???
Just retire the franchise already.
At least Drake Bell is a nice piece of eye candy. That gives me enough incentive to at least give the movie a try sometime, lol. Though I've managed to inadvertantly avoid it thus far (I kinda forgot they were doing this, tbqh), I'd still like to give it a go just for myself.
Yes, another one. They really wants to nuke the fridge like Indiana Jones.
Maybe they'll have a scene where he has to run around town in his underwear. LOL.
I have some pity for Drake Bell, stuck to perform Timmy Turner while he could had performed other roles like for example, the role of Doctor Who. I got the felling he might follow Dustin Diamond path who wasn't all glory after his role of Screech in Saved by the Bell.
I dust-off this subject even if it way way late, ^^; not too trumatized by this FOP Christmas live-action special?
Edit: If Butch Hartman decide to do another live-action special, I wonder if he was forced to do one?
They just need to put a fork in this franchise. It's ran its course.
I think Fairly Oddparents is like the T1000 of cartoons. Now matter how many times you tried to get rid of it, it always coming back.
They could had ended it with a bang by having Timmy being with Trixie Tang together at the end of Wishology but no, they decided to erase memories of peoples to reset back to the old routine.
