I'm not. He's fascinating.
Director Terry Zwigoff gets a lot of mileage out of Crumb's reactions to situations. Whether it's the confused and perplexed look he gets from watching the parade of shallow consumers he sees on the streets, or his half-sincere/half-uncomfortable bursts of laughter following bizarre tales from his youth, Crumb's expressive face says more than his mouth ever could. This, combined with his wonderfully laid-back voice (at once sarcastic and self-deprecating and tinged with regret) makes me wonder why it's taken so long for this man to get some camera time. Self-imposed exile, I suppose. He's definitely a star.
The opening sequence over the credits is the lone contrived moment in an otherwise truthful film. It begins by showing a series of porcelain sculptures modeled on Crumb's most recognizable characters, followed by a shadowy shot of Robert, sitting in a near-fetal position, listening to one of his many old time blues records. It is the only moment in the film that feels fake, and threatens to ruin the film's credibility right from the starting gate. Thankfully, director Zwigoff has a perfect game the rest of the way.
And there is only one moment that puts objectivity aside and allows for a bit of commentary on the part of the filmmakers. It concerns an interview with Deirdre English, a former editor of the magazine 'Mother Jones'.Read more ›
In terms of being a documentary for those curious about Crumb and his work, it doesn't shortchange you in any way that I can see. We get to spend plenty of time with Crumb himself, of course; we also get to spend a good amount of time hearing from his wife, and ex-wife, his mother and two brothers, his friends and an associate or two, and, as I mentioned, several critics, each with their own take on Crumb's work. We also get to *see* a lot of Crumb's work by way of numerous well-edited, well-placed montages, as well as artwork by his brothers, who are themselves exceptionally talented. We learn a great deal about Crumb's youth, attitude, hang-ups, perversions, artistic status, and anxieties.Read more ›

Skip to comments.Why Newt's Surge Will Continue
Posted on 11/18/2011 3:54:43 PM PST by jageorge72
Newt Gingrich's stumble out of the campaign gate -- causing him to lose his top advisors to Rick Perry -- might well be the best thing that has ever happened to his political career. That, along with his debate performances and a handful of other circumstances, explains why the former speaker of the House is now surging in the polls and why it is likely to continue.
And yes -- those are the words of one who has written Newt off for good on more than one occasion. And for what surely seemed like good reasons.
But those reasons seem long past now, as the former speaker has proven himself a far superior advocate to anyone else running of what it is that animates us on the conservative side. And it is this ability -- combined with our craving for someone who has this ability in light of the inarticulate Bush-McCain years -- that has convinced many to take a second, third, fourth, or fifth look at a man many of us had given up on. Yes, we know that Newt has not always acted like a conservative, and yes, he tends toward being an incessant government tinkerer. Yes, some of those marital issues are troubling, as was NY-23 and the David Gregory/Paul Ryan thing and most of all...the Pelosi global warming thing. Yes, we get all that.
Yet, even so, the daydream of Gingrich debating Obama on a stage bigger than merely the presidential contest is something more and more Tea Party folks and others are publicly fessin' up to sharing. Admit it: you were giving Newt a second look long before you dared say so out loud or post it on a message board.
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
I agree. I want Obama humiliated, groveling, and curled up in a fetal position. I want him to be revealed as the fraud and imposter that he is and I want it done in front of everyone on national t.v. I want Mr. Fifty-seven States to become an object of ridicule. Only Gingrich can do that. It would be fun to watch.
Great freakin post. And worth repeating. That's exactly how I feel.
"Newt strikes me as a sort of Benjamin Franklin type.
Very smart, speaks well, loves the ladies, portly, plays with ideas on both sides of the political spectrum, makes money from affiliations with the government (post office in Franklins case).
When the chips were down and it was time to choose Franklin sided against the crown and was a patriot.
Although far from perfect I think Newt would do whatever was needed to help us prosper. I dont think he would ever fail to come to the aid of Israel either.
We could do worse...much worse :-(
like Mitt...just ewww"
Because polls are manufactured marketing tools?
Newt won't surge. He'll become the anti Romney, anti Obama candidate. People will vote for him because he's not those two and the country will continue it's slide into the abyss. Newt is the poster boy for what is wrong with the federal government and the GOP.
It seems to me that is what his company was hired to do. He was quite willing to work against conservative principles as long as the price was right. I guess thats what 'Intellectual' conservatives do.
I posted this earlier, I'm gonna post it again.
The Newt we know. EXACTLY.
Ya know what? I am supporting Newt 100% until he wins or drops out. I don't care if he is accused of fondling boys 20-30 years ago. I don't care if Newt put his hand up some woman's skirt. I don't care that he sat on a couch with Pelosi. I don't care about whatever scandal comes along, legit or phony.
I have had it with the news media, through their scandal mongering, choosing our candidate. WHY ARE WE LISTENING TO THEM? Why are we listening to the country club Republicans?
Almost all accusations can be explained or forgiven. Many are just plain lies! We have to STOP playing along with the media and trashing our own candidates.
Newt's company made millions from consulting. WHO CARES? If he hadn't, how much more money would you have in your pocket? NOT A CENT.
THE PAST is just that, PASSED. I only care what Newt says from now on. I want to hire him to do a JOB. That is it! For this time he is the best man for the job. Baggage, Smaggage, I DON'T CARE! WHAT IS HE SAYING NOW? WHAT IS HE DOING NOW? That is what matters. What are his ideas for fixing our country. What executive orders will he sign within the hour of being sworn in? (Newt.org).
It is time to quit SCREWING AROUND and get behind Newt.
Face it, Romney & Newt are the choices. Cain is DONE. Perry is DONE. The rest are nowhere. Many here say they don't like Newt, but would not hesitate to vote for him if he were the nominee. Instead of beating him up ( the left, media, and RINOs will keep doing that), let's rally around Newt. Let's get this party started. All attacks from now on to be against OBAMA.
Newt isn't the lesser of two evils, he's just the best man for the job, from the field we have to choose from.
Newt can WIN. Obamas worst nightmare.....debating Newt. Newt will show moderates, independents, and democrats just how STUPID Obama really is. (Conservatives already know this)
And then what?
I don't think there are many who could disagree with this:
When Newt walks into a room, the collective IQ goes up.
oh man,...you again.
you never miss a Gingrich thread do you?
Excellent comment. He is a lot like B. Franklin.
I bet Newt means this:
New Newt is conciliatory, even bipartisan. In several debates, he's refused to criticize his rivals and has scolded moderators for gasp! trying to accentuate their differences. As president, he told voters in Iowa, one his first acts would be to reach out to Democrats.
"It's become much too partisan in both parties," said the man who has been accused of destroying the bipartisan tradition in the House of Representatives.
If you elect Newt; dont come crying when he makes decisions you dont like. It will happen.
Its to bad the country lets the wrong people vote for them.
You know what, they're all going to let us down at some point.
Great article & dead on indeed! Here's a couple of things in the article that really made a lot of sense:
"By contrast, we are also reminded why we have dreaded every presidential debate since Reagan-Mondale. We haven't had a yes! moment in these things since Reagan, and we desperately need one."
Aint that the freaking truth!
"But it goes deeper than just those moments. The campaign debates of 2012 will be definitive moments in our national conversation. I think many instinctively know this. We will have on display some spokesperson for conservatism debating Obama and the Occupy America vision. It will impact perhaps every race in 2012. And many are now saying out loud what they've been whispering for months."
This is the thing I've been wondering a lot about lately. Who will have the best chance of coat tails? This may be as important as the presidential election itself. It's imperative we retake the senate & add to the house.
Regardless of his "baggage", Newt will be on conservative point for the entire cycle & will not waiver or lose focus. His message will be the conservative message & one that the entire party can rally around, including those running for congress. Newt will set the standard for the rest of the party to follow.
Cain is the only other candidate who could accomplish this, however, only on domestic issues. Cain will also have a hard time navigating the landmines set forth by the MSM. Newt knows the landmines & thus I feel will have longer coat tails.
Gingrich/Cain? Wow!
I did not mean likability is the only factor, it is just more important than many others, of course. My guess is 75% of voters do not spend more than 2 to 3 hours TOTAL studying various candidates on issues before they vote. People visiting sites such as this are much more informed. But most voters are not.

The truth of the matter is that NO Republican candidate is good enough for many of the types who inhabit FR. These are people who brook not even the slightest hint of a shading of difference between their worldview and that of others. If even a miniscule difference exists, the other person immediately becomes not just someone with whom there is a disagreement, but becomes a viscerally hated enemy. Problem is, that kind of absolutely perfect meshing of two people's opinions to beyond the nth degree simply doesn't exist in this world. Probably not in the next either.
Yet, in perpetual search for such an impossible candidate, too many people are willing to toss aside important considerations for the first Joe or Jane who comes along and mouths what they want to hear.
Newt wont surge. Hell become the anti Romney, anti Obama candidate. People will vote for him because hes not those two and the country will continue its slide into the abyss. Newt is the poster boy for what is wrong with the federal government and the GOP.
-— ==== ====
Newt is greatly gifted as an eloquent speaker and the best debater I have ever seen. People are flocking to him now because of these skills. He is so good, in fact, they are willing to overlook tons of baggage. Truth be told most people have a lot of baggage.
What's the evidence for saying the debate stage matters more than ever?
Maybe in the primaries this cycle, but I sure don't see that in the general.
Why? Because Obama is the most polarizing President in history.
No one who supports Obama/Dems is going to give a rat's behind how Obama performs in the debates. They are going to vote for him.
No one who supports defeating Obama by voting for the anyone-but-Obama GOP nominee is going to give a rat's behind how the GOP nominee performs in the debates.
And if the argument is based on the mushy middle — well, we all know where that gets you.
And first, there just aren't many people who aren't in one camp or the other. The entire nation has been galvanized by Obamacare and the economy; most people have decided whether they want Obama in or out in 2012, that much they know.
Anyone who hasn't made up their mind yet on that question just isn't paying attention. And people who aren't paying attention now, sure as hell are not the types to watch presidential debates and make up their mind based solely, or even mostly, on those.
Listen closely and most people pushing the debates as a reason for a particular candidate just want the sheer joy of watching Obama maybe get his butt kicked.
That might be a fun spectacle, but it's not going to change a significant number of votes, IMO.
In fact, if Newt whups up on Obama, it's likely to increase voter intensity in his base, particularly among those Dems who absolutely HATED Newt back when he was Speaker.
There are a lot of those Dems still around. They're going to have the same reaction as Republicans would if, 15 years from now the Dems nominated Nancy Pelosi. They think we would forget and not be motivated by how we regarded her during her tenure as Speaker?
>> The truth of the matter is that NO Republican candidate is good enough for many of the types who inhabit FR >>
And many of them hide behind their supposed Biblical principles to justify that attitude as well. Which is ironic, since almost everyone used by God was deeply deeply flawed.
Try making a list of all the position's on different issues that have been taken by gramnesty and mccain, then make a list for newt and see where the differ. You will find they are three birds of a feather, reach across the isles and compromise. They compromise and you pay, wonderful.
Can I steal that and put that in an email?
I too would love to see Newt "shred" Obama, but that won't get him the nomination.
I have donated to Newt. I like Newt. I just don't think Newt can win the nomination let alone the Presidency.
Newt has one fatal flaw: he is an intellectual and intellectuals are simply not very inspiring or likable.
I don't get the "Newt is a RINO" talk. He is not a RINO, he led the Republicans back to the majority in the House after 40+ years. He is a DC insider and a serial adulterer, and that will hurt him with some segments of the population, but his "likability" factor is what will hurt him with most.
So while I am all in if Newt gets the nod, I will be shocked if he pulls out the upset in Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina.
I think that's mythology.
Fifty years ago it was very difficult, compared to today, to get a lot of information on candidates or even to see them speak.
Today every little podunk stop a candidate makes is filmed and put up on YouTube. The point is: the more information there is already out there -- and there is exponentially more than ever in the last half-century -- the less any one event makes an impact.
And, as I said upthread, particularly in this cycle, I think the presidential debates are not going to change a single vote. By that time, the country will be even more polarized than it already is, and people will be even more sure that they want Obama out or they don't.
So, you call some fellow freepers fools. And which of the candidates is your perfect choice again? To whose credit do we apply the negatives you're purposely generating?
I fail to see how Newt is an improvement over Mitt. Both believe in government as the solution. Newt only talks good, but his heart is with Pelosi and Hillary and other government policy wonks.
Also, the Dems, like the rest of the nation, and especially the Liberal punditry, have already accepted and digested the fact that Obama is actually a terrible speaker and an empty suit debater.
The expectations on him are going to be extremely low.
So not only will no one care (except, as if often pushed, for the entertainment value), no one will even expect Obama NOT to get whupped by whoever the GOP nominee is, even if they put Spongebob in the chair.
Let's say Obama gets crushed by GOP Nominee. Afterwards, Chris Matthews still says . . . what?
And don't forget him going on an Education Tour in 2009 with Al Sharpton and Arne Duncan to support Obama's education policies.
And advocating the individual mandate for purchase of health insurance even after he'd entered this race — walking it back ONLY after conservatives severely punished him for it.
And . . . the list goes on.
I do not agree that the fact that Newt is a great debater should determine who our nominee is.
I guess Christie's endorsement of your guy didn't mean much, eh?
"I did not mean likability is the only factor, it is just more important than many others, of course. My guess is 75% of voters do not spend more than 2 to 3 hours TOTAL studying various candidates on issues before they vote. People visiting sites such as this are much more informed. But most voters are not."
Well I can tell you this. If these uniformed voters don't like Obama, they're gonna love Newt in the debates.
So you don't want readers to know whom it is you claim to support with the nasty insults you post. Figures
Gingrich has been very committed to the individual mandate in health care reform. That was one of the things (along with calling Paul Ryan's plan "right-wing social engineering") that put his candidacy in the toilet early on in the first place.
Newt Gingrich Had Lucrative Health Industry Ties , (one of many articles on this subject):
The Center for Health Transformation, which Gingrich founded, raked in millions of dollars from heavy hitters like GE Healthcare and Wellpoint, as first reported by the Washington Post. The group says it does not lobby, but on its website, it touts its ability to build bridges between the federal government and private sector. Among its strengths, the think tank lists its unparalleled network of allies in the federal government, states, corporations and hospitals; coalition building capabilities, and media visibility.
[snip] He has blasted the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act, saying in a video that he is completely opposed to the Obamacare mandate on individuals, and that he fought it for two and half years at the Center for Health Transformation. But the group, which Gingrich founded, actually supported imposing a mandate on those who made more than $50,000 per year.
CHT spokeswoman Susan Meyers said the group advocates such a move at the state level, not solutions that are forced at the federal level and that Gingrich supports free market solutions.
We believe that any idea that states want to originate, thats fine, Meyers told ABC News. It should be their prerogative if they choose to do that.
Still, Gingrich hasnt made that clear. In fact, he criticized opponent Mitt Romney for implementing such a bureaucratic mandate in Massachusetts.
But what in the world does that have to do with who should be the next President of the United States?
In the most important sense, this election is not about issues at all. It is about what kind of nation we will be--America as we have known it for 235 years, or some corrupt turd world backwater dictatorship. No other candidate is capable of engaging this meta-issue as it needs to be engaged to defeat the combined onslaught of the Left.
Getting caught up in meaningless trivia like the couch picture, or the perfectly legitimate consulting business, routinely lied about here by anti-private sector a-holes, will only insure that the real issue never is addressed--and this country cannot afford that dereliction of duty.
EVERYONE either knows this already or does not care.
I'm not going to choose a nominee based on whether or not he can make an infamously stupid, dangerous bumbler "look stupid."
Not only is that not relevant in my book, the task isn't even hard.
I want to know which Newt we're going to get when he wakes up in the White House. I know which Newt will get when he goes out on the debate stage.
That's true about some people everywhere.
But what's also true is that, no matter how legitimate the criticism, or how dangerous the weakness, of a candidate, "many of the types who inhabit FR" refuse to engage it and instead blithely dismiss it with "No one's perfect."
The truth is that no one is perfect.
That doesn't mean we pretend everyone is equally imperfect (politically or personally), therefore any discussion of their imperfections is not necessary or relevant.
You are right. However, I do like him; I just don't trust him. I admire his knowledge of the constitution.; he just didn't carry the water on the contract with america and his past is indicating he will not be the conservative we need.
My disclaimer: I will vote for any GOP nominee, even if it is Ron Paul. The debates between Obama & Newt will be a doosie. (that word comes from the terrific car of yesteryear the Dusenberg) However keep in mind, the only candidate the left hates more than Newt is Sarah. So expect them to come out of the woodwork to vote for Obama. The blacks will break 95%+ for Obama.
I've actually begun to think that the Dems may have even settled in to wanting Newt as the nominee.
Some may say then why are they going to run Newt through the wringer? Answer: They know many conservatives already feel they have no other choice, so roughing up Newt may lead to their dream scenario (a third party) and will certainly depress turn-out and GOP voter intensity.
In the meantime, Newt is the ONLY candidate who would never in a million years peel off any votes from the Democrats:
Uninformed voters don't even watch the debates.

I've been watching WordPress for quite a few months. In all that time, there has not been any mention on the Developer's Blog about the progress of version 1.3. What gives?
Is there another website that we should be looking at for news, status reports, updates on 1.3? If so, why is http://wordpress.org/development/ not pointing to the more relevant site?
Reading the forums, I've come across one post which appears to be an update by a developer on the progress of 1.3, but why does that post not appear on the Developer's Blog? Perhaps the Developer's Blog section should be replaced by the "1.3 Goals" at http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_1.3?

Told me to improve laptop listened again put in System Mechanic in March and everyday calling having supervisors emailing me and have techicians calling me. Then same issue stealing my service and had to cry to supervisors to give it back 4 times. Games played unreal!! I even bought PC Tuner and updated my gigabites.
All lies labtop never better because Window 7 not compatible in my laptop.Everyone of them lied Hardware Department!! Technicians from India, Phillipines and Your Tech. Team. All they say is "Sorry"" I never saw an attitude like this. Shubha Dalvai was on case called repeated myself punished you have to wait for tomorrow for another one. Punished me because I asked where is it written anywhere that window 7 not compatible. She was defending Dell. Lied about prong said shipped. Called back never shipped lied don't make for this laptop. Continuing lies always. Shipped refurbished never told me when I would get it, Then came called tecnicians gave tag number didn't know I had it thought it was at Dell. So unorganized and lies!!

Review Summary
- Large beach with a sandy island
- Great kids' amenities
- Video game room for teens
- Lively adults-only section
- Fitness center with daily workout classes
- Five minutes from the Montego Bay airport
- Terrible food, mostly in buffet form
- Generic liquor and untrained bartenders
- Loud, congested atmosphere
- Uncomfortable beds
- No poolside or beachside service
Bottom Line
Cheap liquor, minimal service, dirty rooms, and the worst food in Jamaica--often for more money than the newer, more impressive, family-friendly mega-resorts like the nearby Iberostar and Riu. The Holiday Inn's slot machines, fitness classes, and small beach island hardly justify the inflated rates.

Oyster Hotel Review
Like Old School, only with kids. And not funny. The atmosphere is crowded and boozy.
Spanning seven buildings, the 551-room aging mega-resort makes no pretense of style. Streams of guests flow throughout the property -- fierce buffet lines, kids shouting, pop-reggae blasting from concert speakers, and impromptu square-dancing lessons on the main stage (at the center of the resort, by the pool). Getting to the main building for food, the pool, and everything else meant about a 15-minute trip from the room.
Though predominantly attracting families, the Holiday Inn can still feel like one of the most booming resorts in Montego Bay (due in large part to its massive number of rooms and its concentrated eating and activity space). "I'll just stay here and get wasted" is not an entirely uncommon thing to hear at 9 a.m. in the De Lobby Bar. Even early in the morning you can find a bartender, clad in colonial plantation costume (red and green plaid bandana, full-length skirt, and white blouse with puffy shoulders), wearily watering down the rum punch for the day, a premix cocktail made of (in this order) water, fruit punch, light and dark rum, sour mix, and bitters. (Personally, I found the drinks awful, but it's possible that I just didn't drink enough of them.)
Very pleasant and dedicated staffers are willing to do anything to help--but guests have to ask first.
At check-in, the desk attendant was friendly, but unable to process my American Express. (Apparently only the manager knew how, and he was on break.) So I needed to use my MasterCard to get into my room. Bartenders from De Lobby Bar walked over to give me a rum punch (as they do for all guests) and my bellman took me to the room, showing off all the features in the hotel. He also checked to ensure that the safe, the TV remote, the balcony, the A.C., and everything else in my room was working (which, from the look of my room, seemed like a necessary measure).
Service is generally do-it-yourself. Aside from encouraging my drinking ("Are you working? Are you driving? Come on, have another ..."), the staff left me to fend for myself -- buffet-style meals, no poolside or beachside service, and if I needed anything (like an Internet cable for the room), I had to walk to the lobby to pick it up. As spoiled as this might sound, remember that a walk down to the lobby from Building 5 (of 7) took about 15 minutes and included weaving throughout the grounds, stepping in puddles, and bypassing the same tempting line of slot machines with a pocket full of quarters. Bartenders couldn't offer drink recommendations or make anything that wasn't premixed. They relied mostly on the rum punch, a rum mixture prepared in a measureless system that ensures a different cocktail each time.
However, as with virtually everywhere in Jamaica, the employees here were wonderfully dedicated, willing to stay late, sneak me onto the reservation list, pour a stronger drink, and, under any circumstance, try to make sure I was happy. But unlike at smaller resorts like Coyaba, I remained pretty anonymous.
About five minutes from the airport, and close to golfing and shopping.
Located in Rose Hall, the golf capital of Jamaica (with three courses in the immediate area), the Holiday Inn is about five minutes from the Montego Bay International Airport and 10 miles from the Hip-Strip in Montego Bay. But most Holiday Inn guests never leave the resort, even with the Sunspree Shops, a tourist-oriented craft market, just across the street.

Large and clean, with a private sand island if guests want to get away from the hubbub.
The beach had a bit of seaweed washed up to shore and some strewn, daiquiri-stained pink plastic cups, regardless of how often the staff tried to clean them up. But the sand was soft and the water was warm (due in large part to the fact that the water was only about two feet deep as far as the roped-off buoys about 20 yards out).
A sand island, equipped with lounge chairs, lies along a 10-yard walk through shin-deep water. This creates a lot more lounge space and is a great alternative to sunbathing 10 feet from the main pool and the stage, where upbeat drinking tunes like "Turn the Beat Around" play all day, even during breakfast.
Typical for a Holiday Inn -- big (except for the bathrooms), a little dingy, and generic.
The standard rooms are large, but sparse, with cheap furnishings blackened by luggage wheels, Jamaican-themed watercolor prints, and generic bedspreads.
Beds are fairly flimsy and only have two thin pillows (and, in my room, only one pillow on one of the beds). But on the whole, the beds worked -- I could sleep without having an excruciating morning.
The bathroom was especially small. A plastic, mildew-coated, and soaped-up shower stall detracted any beauty from the granite-topped counters.
Each room comes with a balcony, but on the top floor, they're positioned directly next to one another, offering no actual privacy. Even the balconies on the lower levels, facing the rooms in the next building over, don't offer much privacy. The wall of windows, however, allows plenty of light into the room.
The flat screen TVs are satellite equipped and have plenty of channels. Internet access is available for a daily fee (wired and Wi-Fi), but there's an additional charge for a wire to connect your laptop to the wall. (Bring an Ethernet cable with you.) On the bright side, the connection is strong and reliable, which is hard to come by anywhere in Jamaica (including hotels like the Iberostar Resort or Sunset Beach Resort, which boast Internet access in all rooms). It's a convenient feature, even if I needed to login about 12 times an hour.
Rooms and Rates
Crowded property with lots to do -- even when, as with the casino, nobody seems to actually do it.
The pool was huge. It circulates around the entertainment center like a moat and is crowded with hundreds of deck chairs. But anyone lounging beside it might feel a bit on display: It's right outside the buffet and the stage, where square dancing with the kids (or something like that) pops up every afternoon.
Daily workout classes and personal training are available at the fitness center, which has sufficient space and quality equipment, including both cardio and weight machines, as well as free-weights.
The tennis courts, however, don't get much use -- perhaps due to the warped, fractured green concrete.
The "casino" was just a lifeless row of slot machines off the lobby. I never spotted anyone using it, even with the hotel's offer to match the first $10 in bets.
Overpriced gift and sundry shops sit side by side, offering less adventurous guests the opportunity to get their keepsakes and cigarettes barter-free (or a bottle of rum if the 1 a.m. last call doesn't satisfy). But with plenty of cheaper shopping just across the street, I'd encourage guests to get out of the hotel fortress and see the real, tourist-driven Jamaican culture.
Adult-Only Features
Because kids dominate the rest of the hotel, there's an adults-only pool and hot tub.
In the furthest reaches of the hotel (past Building 7, which might as well be Cleveland for those staying in Building 1), you'll find the rambunctious, adults-only pool. It consists of a swim-up bar, Big Smaddy Bar, blasting pop hits and, typically, some of the more hard-drinking guests.
Outside the main pool area is a small, adults-only hot tub behind a wood-planked gate, but it remained empty the entire time I was there.
The disco wasn't open while I was there, nor was the pub.
There's plenty for kids (especially teens), including a kids' club, kids' pool, kids' golf course, and teen center with Xbox 360 games.
- The kids' club has a full jungle gym and plenty of rubber-mat play space inside.
- An ankle-deep kids' pool has spray jets that blasted 6 inches of water into the air. Fun, but it looks a bit like a drinking fountain -- More than once, I spotted little ones gulping chlorinated water when their parents weren't looking.
- A putt-putt golf course is at the back of the hotel, though the course didn't appear to be well maintained.
- Fit with an air hockey table, Internet stations, Xbox 360 games, and a line of low-rider racecar chairs in front of the flat-panel TVs, the Teen Center proves to be a great place for otherwise brooding teens. Unfortunately, there's nothing more uncool than identifying a space as teen-specific.
- Kids 12 and under stay and eat free when sharing a room with their parents.
- Kids Suites feature a partially separated area for kids with bunk beds and a TV with kid-friendly channels.
Square dancing and games are fun for kids and drunk adults, and the hotel has a free shuttle to Margaritaville.
Like at most resorts, the entertainment was loved by young children and those with at least a half-dozen cocktails but greatly ignored by everyone else. The square dancing, games, and evening activities are mostly tragic displays, with the guests turning their lounge chairs around to avoid watching. The entertainment team tried halfheartedly to keep its dignity.
Recognizing this problem, however, the hotel offers a free shuttle to Margaritaville on the Hip-Strip, where late-night debauchery is never in short supply (gambling, prostitutes, and a big old waterslide!)
Trashy and only slightly bio-hazardous. The pool's in decent shape, though.
Here's a quick list of the three most unpleasant features of my room: 1) plenty of mold and scum in the plastic shower stall, 2) a collapsed box spring that made the mattress slant to the left, and 3) a crusted bit of feces on the side of the toilet.
Naturally, when packing a property with grade-school children and (worse) reckless drinkers, it's impossible to keep the property looking spotless, no matter how hard housekeeping might try. But I wasn't so sure housekeeping was trying all that hard. For example, at 6 p.m., in the standing ashtray outside our room, I spotted a 3-foot stack of plastic cups spilling pink daiquiri juice onto the floor. By 1 p.m. the next day, after housekeeping cleaned the rooms, I saw the same stack, now with strawberry scabs on the floor. Likewise, the mini-golf course was left flooded, cement was cracked on the tennis courts, faux-wood paneling was pried loose on the elevators, and gaping swamp-water holes about the size of wheelbarrows were left stagnant on the beach.
Though the pool was kept clean and the beach was combed of plastic cup debris each morning, the property, on the whole, had a more run-down feeling.
Quantity is emphasized over quality, with no top-shelf liquor and half-shot portions. But guests can ask for stronger drinks.
No top-shelf liquor on-site, not even second-shelf liquor. The Holiday Inn only has something akin to floor-space liquor -- the kind that comes in a clear bottle conveniently marked Rum with a big red sticker. The brands found on its "top shelf" retail in the U.S. for about $6 a bottle, like Rosita Tequila, Rumona Rum, and Newport Canadian Whiskey (no other whiskey existed).
Though drinks are typically poured in half-shot portions (which most guests complain are "watered down"), if you want anything any stronger, all you have to do is ask. Generally, bartenders don't know how to make any drinks aside from the premixed rum punch and frozen daiquiri Slurpees from a machine.
Worst in Jamaica: Breakfast buffet is terrible, and it's downhill from there. The unnamed jerk chicken shack is the best bet.
Better than a high school lunchroom, but not by much. The buffets are terrible. For breakfast, the made-to-order omelets are the best option, but the watery eggs, soggy home fries, industrial-grade ham triangles, and a handful of local breakfast options go untouched (except by the flies). Lunch and dinner are even worse.
The better daytime (or even evening) option is to get a basic burger at the Barefoot Bar and Grill just off the pool deck.
For dinner, guests need to make reservations in advance at the a la carte restaurants (as is common at all-inclusive resorts). I went to Sorrento, the hotel's Italian restaurant, billed as the best food on-site. Per the waiter's recommendation, I had the steak and calamari. The calamari was good, and in a giant portion, but the mini-steak was terrible: extremely tough meat topped with some kind of blue cheese and plantain chips, over a polenta-like corn cake that I couldn't take more than a bite of (even though I had waited 40 minutes for food and was quite hungry). The wine (only "red" or "white" available) tasted like cooking wine.
Destination Weddings
For an average-at-best all inclusive chain, the Montego Bay Holiday Inn provides the basics, but the food is much worse than at most other Jamaican resorts.
- Restrictions: Since the resort hosts up to four weddings per day, they cram you into a four-hour time block for both the ceremony and reception -- either 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., or from 5 to 9 p.m.
- Extra Fees: For anyone attending the wedding but not staying at the resort, there's an extra $75 fee for adults ($55 for children) between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., and $85 for adults and $65 for children between the hours of 6 p.m. and 2 a.m.
- Wedding Packages: Packages start at $525 for a decorated gazebo, a minister, and all the proper legal documents and go up to $1,895 for a bouquet and boutonniere, a two-tiered wedding cake that serves 25, one bottle of sparkling wine, a massage for bride and groom, a mani/pedi for bride, two 5-by-7 photographs and a one-hour video recording of the ceremony. Floral decorations for a standard ceremony and reception cost another $50 to $85.
- Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties: For $105 per person, the hotel will host bachelor and bachelorette parties, which basically just means they have a staffer to help organize some games (since the drinks and food would be free anyway). All told, it's a bit of a rip-off.
- Ceremony Location: Ceremonies can be held in the Cupid Gazebo on the beach, the Corals Gazebo on the pier (overlooking the sea), the Garden Piazza, or in the sand on the East Beach.
- Photographers and Videographers: Photo packages range from $220 (for 20 5-by-7s, one 8-by-10 with a frame, and a wedding album) to $365 (for 12 5-by-7s, one 8-by-10 with a frame, and unlimited pictures on a CD); a 45-minute DVD costs $350.
- Music Options: $260 for a soloist (violinist, flautist, or a "one-man band"); $520 for a reggae band; $1,000 for a cabaret vocal band
- Food and Drinks: A private plated or buffet dinner costs from $25 to $80; if you have a party of 20 or less, you can reserve space at one of the restaurants for an extra $10 per head. A selection of hot and cold hors d'oeuvres ranges from $15 to $90 per head; kids, vegetarian, vegan, kosher, and gluten free menus are available upon request.
- Cakes: Cakes cost $100, plus another $100 for each additional tier (two tiers serves 25 people). A traditional Jamaican wedding cake costs $150, plus another $150 per additional tier.
- Spa Treatments: No special treatments are available for the bridal party, but discounts are available if reservations are made in advance.
- Honeymoon Suite: There is no special honeymoon suite, per se, but most couples opt for a suite with a private, sea-view balcony.
- Freebies: Unlike most other resorts, there are no special freebies for the bride and groom. As is the case at most resorts, if your wedding party books more than 15 rooms you may negotiate a discounted rate (however, the hotel doesn't make any promises about discounts).
- Airport Transportation: For large groups, you can arrangement for group transportation to the resort for $20 per person (a bit steep, for just a five- to 10-minute drive).

Cincinnati is the most expensive city to flight out of. [WSJ]
I will make sure to not flight in or flight out of Cincinnatti.
…and its worth every penny! (Ba-dum-dum-dum)
The crazy thing is that you can often fly cheaper from point X to point Y with a change in cinci, then you would just taking Cinci to Y.
Love airlines
ending with preposition much?
@Petrarch1603: Spelling error notwithstanding, would you prefer that Ben wrote "Cincinnati is the most expensive city from whence to fly out"?
@uricmu: Charlotte is like that for US Airways (or was, when I semi-regularly flew there). I'd do a search and only find expensive itineraries, but if I included alternate cities in my search, the same flight would be over $100 cheaper if I took the same flight to Charlotte but connected with a flight to Greensboro.
I once booked one of those cheaper Greesboro via Charlotte trips, and walked off at Charlotte. I understand they don't like it when you do that.
Today's "Dog Bites Man" headline:
"Living in Cincinnati Sucks: Townspeople Shocked"
Yeah, see, but it's worth every penny. Cincinatti sucks so bad, that any price you have to pay to get the hell out of there is well worth it.
In other news: Cincinnati has an airport, electricity, running water, indoor toilets. Who knew?
@King of the Wild Frontier: Cincinnati's main airport, however, isn't even in Ohio. It's in Kentucky.

ReviewJust a not for some complaining about there MPG. Watch your driving habits.
I have corrected mine and it makes a difference. Stopping and starting at stop lights.
I watch mine and just got back from a 1000 mile trip.I wrote down my speeds and what the control said I was getting. On the interstate at 69mph I was getting 28.3mpg. On a stretch of road off the interstate where I drove at 58 and got 36.3. Both were flat roads and both were at no stopping for almost a hour on each road.
The entire trip gave me 29.3 mpg with 90 % of miles on hwy and the rest city.
Now you know you stop and go alot.Thats where you should study your habits.
have the same thing with the transmission jer
Best FeaturesLike the controls.The seats are great.
Worst FeaturesGet the back to to be flat. What it does now is a pain and reduces what you can carry. Get something else besides hard plastic where you click your seatbelt. They scratch easy and looks like crap. Im in the process of making a cloth cover to drape over the middle compartment. Need to make the steering wheel bigger or move the gauges or make them bigger.

Microstructure, magnetic, and magneto-optical properties of chemical synthesized Co–RE ferrite nanocrystalline films86(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.371117View Description Hide Description
The sol-gel synthesis of Co–RE ferritenanocrystallinefilms was accomplished on monocrystalline silicon substrates, and the influence of RE ions on structure, magnetic, and magneto-optical (MO) properties of the resultant ferrites was examined. The results obtained reveal that, when the ferritefilms have pure spinel phase with slightly enlarged cell constants and lattice distortion due to the large radii of RE ions. The RE ions tend to decrease the room-temperature magnetization as well as the Curie point of products, and may have a certain contribution to coercive force except for a nonmagnetic ion. For the present optical structure in which MO layers are substrated on silica, Co–RE ferritefilms show the peak Kerr rotation at a shorter wavelength than the film, and Er or Tm doped samples exhibit an interesting enhancement of the MO effect.
Microstructural evolution and giant magnetoresistance in melt spun and annealed alloy86(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.371118View Description Hide Description
Granular alloys of Cu with FeCo were prepared by the melt-spinning technique. The alloy was characterized by x-ray,transmission electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, and magnetoresistancemeasurements. The alloys were heat treated for different temperatures to optimize the magnetoresistanceproperties. Structural characterization reveals that the FeCo phase initially precipitates out as fcc and later transforms to the bcc structure by martensitic transformation. It is seen that the trend in the magnetoresistanceproperties is different for the measurements carried out at room temperature and 4.2 K. This has been attributed to the transformation of fine fcc precipitates to the bcc structure during the low temperature measurements. It is seen that the presence of fine particles causes an increase in the field for saturation and is not suitable for applications where moderate field giant magnetoresistance is required.

The new technique, which avoids some of the pitfalls of previous methods, showed that Antarctic ocean temperatures jumped about 14 degrees Fahrenheit during the first of the two warming events, likely the result of massive amounts of heat-trapping carbon dioxide gas released from India's Deccan Traps volcanic region. The second warming spike was smaller and occurred about 150,000 years later, around the time of the Chicxulub impact in the Yucatan.

Each option has advantages and disadvantages. Knowing you'll receive a check each month for the rest of your life even if stocks are being mauled by a severe bear market can engender a sense of well-being and financial security that research shows can lead to a more satisfying and happier retirement. But if you have few retirement resources beyond that pension income
Taking the lump sum, on the other hand, gives you a lot more flexibility in spending and meeting unexpected outlays (or indulging in the occasional splurge)more years can also be a daunting task that you shouldn't take lightly, especially given today's miserly yields and the low rates of investment returns that many investment pros believe we'll see in the future
So how can you sift through these pros and cons to come up with an arrangement that works best for your particular situation.
As you're going over your expenditures, try to separate essential expenses, such as housing costs, taxes, food and health care, from discretionary ones such as travel, entertainment and eating out. This will give you a much better sense of how much wiggle room you have to pare back expenses should you need to in the futureNext, consider the income you'll have to cover your expenses, starting with Social Security.

This is one of the best party games that has ever been designed. Our family has been playing it since the beginning of time. We called it Celebrities, and played by having each person write out several celebrities names on small sheets of paper. But the professional produced version removes this first step. All you do is shuffle the cards, deal out the right number, and start playing!
For those of you who do not know Celebrities... read on
Celebrities (and Time's Up) is played in teams of two. When it is your turn, you have 30 seconds to go through as many cards as possible. The goal is to get your partner to say the name of the people on the cards you draw. You get 1 point per card. There are three rounds in the game. During each round, you are allowed to do something different when trying to get your partner to name the person on the card you drew:
Round 1) Taboo: you may say anything you want except for he names on the card. 2) Password: you may only say 1 word along with gestures 3) Charades: you may not say anything. All you can do is gesture.
You go through the same names during each round, so the players get increasingly familiar with the names that are in the game. The fun part of the game is that players will refer to previous rounds in order to communicate who is on the card. So there will be a lot of self-referential inside jokes that take place during the game. Hilarity is bound to follow.
I've played this game with four different groups of people, from serious gamers to casual players, and all have enjoyed it immensely. The obscurity of many of the names to be guessed can be daunting at first (who the heck is "Salada"?), but as other reviewers have noted, the more challenging cards often result in the most clever, and funniest, clues. At first we thought the 30-seconds-per-round rule must be a misprint, but we discovered this was just the right amount of time, especially after players have seen the cards several times. It was only because of the many positive reviews that I took a chance and bought this game, and I'm glad I did. For people who aren't afraid to act silly, this is a top-notch game that will have you laughing out loud.
We played with an extra round at the end which was great fun. No words or sounds or movement was allowed. Essentially it was just a freeze frame shot, so the partner had to close his eyes and be told to open them when ready. We found it a brilliant addition to the game.

Quick! Pass a deck of 40 randomly chosen celebrity name cards from team to team. The clue-giver has a mere 30 seconds to communicate the identities of as many cards as possible, using words, pantomime, and sound effects. The round continues until all names have been guessed. Give each team a point for each card they've won, then take all the cards back--you'll need them for the next two rounds. In the second round, you're only allowed to say one word per name card, and in the third and final round you must make do with no words at all. The team with the highest total of all three rounds wins. A good memory and rudimentary acting ability will bring you success, and the 864 name cards assure you many merry moments.

To The Editor: Wonder why your electric bills are high?
The service provider for Duke Energy, Pike Electric Contractors, arrived at our property at 9:45 today to replace the electrical box at the street, warning us the power would be off for 2 hours.
They left at 11:30, returned at 1:30 and informed us they did not have the proper equipment, then sat around until quitting time of 4:30 p.m., wasting the whole day! Where is the responsibility for getting paid for work preformed?
I guess it is just easier to goof off all day and get paid for it. I encourage others to report this kind of abuse.
After all, we the consumers are paying the wages of these slackers.

Running out and buying an LCD monitor with a Viewsonic name on it certainly makes sense, but what about a netbook? The 13.3-inch ViewBook Pro is exactly that, with a Core2 Duo SU7300 inside along with 2GB of DDR2 and an Intel 4 Series Express onboard GPU. It comes with two batteries, which can be used together to bring the battery life under full load from 2h39m to 4h20m, fairly respectable usage. The only major problem seems to be the netbooks unavailability, not even the Viewsonic page will list a retailer or price.

Subject: Mobile | April 2, 2010 - 03:01 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Not everyone is satisfied with a 13.1" screen, no matter how sleek the form factor it is attached to is. For serious mobile viewing satisfaction something like the Gateway NV7901u with a 17.3" 1600 x 900 screen seems more appropriate. There is of course a trade off as it weighs 7.4lbs and will probably be quite noticeable after carrying for a while. Inside is a Core i5 430M and 4GB of DDR-3 1066, a full 1GB of which is dedicated to a Radeon Mobility 5650.

I post this for the benefit of those of you who don't live in Los Angeles. It reminds me of a junior high memory. I went to one of those schools built in the 1950s with a broad bank of windows on the side of each classroom. During an English class it started to rain. The entire class spontaneously got up and ran to the window. The teacher, a transplant from New England was, at first, confused and then started laughing at us.
Straw Bale Garden Tour Part II
In this video we take a tour of our straw bale garden as it appears this week. The vegetables varieties you see growing are Tromboncino squash, Lunga di Napoli squash (growing up into a native bush), Matt's Wild Cherry tomato, Celebrity tomato, eggplant and Swiss chard. And just to take down my smugness a notch I also included a shot of an unsuccessful cucumber plant. Other than the cucumber, though, this is one of the most productive vegetable gardens I've ever planted. I'm now a big fan of the straw bale method.
The music is by Karaoke Mouse–"Shanghai Reggae."

We started rotting the bales in late April by adding blood meal. In May we added a balanced fertilizer and started planting the bales. In the video you'll see the veggies we planted in early June.

How To Make a Cotton Ball Fire Starter
In this video you'll learn how to make a cotton ball fire starter. It's easy:
Rub some petroleum jelly in a couple of cotton balls and store them in a pill bottle. That's it. We got five and half minutes of burn time–most of that strong flame–out of the ball we made for this video. Them dead dinosaurs burn good!
Make some of these and the next time you need to start a fire in a hurry, or under less-than-perfect conditions, you'll be a happy camper.

How To Make a Sourdough Starter
Here's the first in a series of Root Simple how-to videos. Look for them on the blog and, soon, on your mobile thingies. I started with a little edit on how to make a sourdough starter. And I take requests–if there's a topic for a video you'd like to see just leave a comment.
Making a sourdough starter is as simple as mixing flour and water. There's no need for all the crazy things I've heard suggested: adding potatoes, grapes, yogurt and certainly not commercial yeast. And the yeast that makes sourdough happen is on the flour itself in far greater quantities than in the air.
After following the simple steps I demonstrate in this video you'll end up with a small amount of starter that you use to "inoculate" a larger batch of starter to use in a bread recipe. Keep your starter at room temperature and feed every day. Alternately, you can put it in the fridge if you don't want to feed it all the time. When you want to wake it up, take it out of the fridge and feed for a day or two before you bake with it.
You'll never go back to commercial yeast once you get used to the taste of bread made with a sourdough starter.

Cold Virus May Trigger Type 1 Diabetes
Feb. 3, 2011 -- A common cold virus could trigger type 1 diabetes in at-risk children, a new research review suggests.
The finding could help explain a dramatic rise in diabetes incidence among very young children, and could even lead to better ways to prevent and treat the disease, researchers say.
The analysis of 26 studies published today in the journal BMJ Online First revealed that children with type 1 diabetes are almost 10 times more likely to show signs of enterovirus infection than children without the disease.
Enteroviruses are the second leading viral cause of cold-like symptoms in children, after rhinoviruses.
Enteroviruses and Type 1 Diabetes
Researchers have long believed that genetic predisposition, the immune system, and environmental triggers interact to cause type 1 diabetes, a disease that affects nearly one in 400 children and adolescents in the U.S., according to the American Diabetes Association.
Enteroviruses have been on the radar as a possible disease trigger for decades. While some studies have found evidence of a link, others have not.
The newly published analysis was the first to combine results from molecular enterovirus-diabetes studies, and the findings were clear, says researcher Maria E. Craig, PhD, of the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.
"We saw a very strong association between enterovirus infection and type 1 diabetes," Craig tells WebMD. "Obviously studies like the ones we looked at cannot prove cause and effect, but the findings make a strong case for this association."
Since enteroviruses are made up of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins, the studies included in the analysis measured RNA or protein in the blood, stool, or tissues of type 1 diabetic or pre-diabetic patients and compared them with people who did not have the disease.
Children with type 1 diabetes were 9.8 times more likely to be infected with enterovirus than children without the disease and those with pre-diabetes were three times more likely to have the infection than other children.
The Search for a Type 1 Vaccine
The next step, Craig says, is identifying the specific enterovirus or viruses associated with type 1 diabetes, with the goal of developing a vaccine to prevent type 1 diabetes.

Modal Testing
Experimental modal analysis provides structural dynamics information for finite element model (FEM) validation (correlation) and FEM refinement, failure investigation, vibration troubleshooting and diagnostics, and quality assurance. In over 30 years of service, SimuTech has tested steam turbines, gas turbines, pumps, blowers, compressors, foundations, buildings, optics, piping, and many more structures for industries including aerospace, automotive, military, electric power generation, research and development, tool and die, nuclear, petrochemical, air conditioning, and refrigeration. SimuTech's repertoire of excitation techniques including impact (rap, bump, or bonk), electro-dynamic shaker (exciter), operating modal analysis, and multiple input multiple output (MIMO). SimuTech's modal testing service offers state-of-the-art techniques at reasonable prices with a strong commitment to customer service.
Experimental modal analysis is one of the principal techniques for validating structural FE models. Most analysts will agree that applying boundary conditions and determining system properties such pose the greatest modeling challenge. Correlation of experimental and analytical natural frequencies can verify that modeling data such as geometry and material properties are accurate and that assumptions about boundary conditions are valid. Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC) is used to quantify the correlation between experimental and finite element modal analysis results. Modal testing can also determine the modal damping ratios that are crucial for dynamic stress and fatigue life calculations.
Recent modal test applications include flight qualification of helicopter modifications, diesel engine cooling fan failure investigation, mixed flow impellers, gas turbine blades, and medical x-ray equipment.
The modal assurance criterion (MAC) is a technique for quantifying the comparison of mode shapes from two sources. A MAC value greater than 90% generally indicates highly correlated modes. SimuTech engineers often use MAC to compare the mode shapes from two test articles or to correlate the results from a modal test with those from a corresponding finite element analysis.
