After an intense period of nearly seven months, the top four teams in the Qatar Stars League (QSL) get ready for the Heir Apparent Cup beginning next week. Lekhwiya and Al Jaish - two relatively newcomers to QSL - will have football giants Al Rayyan and Al Sadd for company as the four teams in the Heir Apparent Cup.
In short, it will be old guard up against the newcomers in Qatar football. Fans would be expecting Al Rayyan and Al Sadd reaching the final on April 26 but there is no denying that Lekhwiya, the QSL champions, and Al Jaish, who have played just one season in the top flight, will be no easy pushovers.
Al Rayyan, coached by Diego Aguirre, are appearing in this year's AFC Champions League.
Al Sadd, coached by shrewd Jorge Fossati, won the 2011 AFC Champions League last November.
Pericles Chamusca is managing the newcomers El Jaish whereas Frenchman Djamel Belmadi celebrated with his Lekhwiya players on Friday night when they were handed over the QSL shield.
The semifinals will be played on April 21 and 22.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance, Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer
Average Rating 4.2/5
Review by MaryMarvel
Best primer ever! There really isn't much to say about this. It does what it promises! All the eye primers I tried were big disappointments. When I got my hands on a sample size of Too Faced Anti-Crease, I didn't have high hopes. But it turned out to be the best thing I ever tried! Creasing shadows no more! <3

Old School
Jordan launched his career while still in college by creating and programming his first games, Karateka and Prince of Persia, on an Apple II computer. His old journals and archived materials give a time-capsule view of the process of making games in the 1980s and 90s.
Karateka Fan Letter from John Romero
When I was 17 years old and dreaming of a career making games, my role models — the people who created the games I admired — were known to me only as names on Apple II title screens. I couldn't look up their bios, read interviews, or check out their websites, because the internet didn't exist yet. I didn't know what they looked like, what countries they lived in, or if their names were even real ("Lord British"?).
There was one way, though. You could send a letter to the publisher (the old way, with postage stamps) and hope that it might get to the game creator who might actually read it.
At 17, I didn't have the chutzpah to think of that — but another enterprising kid named John Romero did. John informed me of this when we finally met, in an elevator at GDC, years after he'd fulfilled his childhood dreams and become one of the best-known game designers on the planet, thanks to Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Quake.
John's first words to me were: "I wrote you a letter. In 1985."
When I got home, I dug it out of storage. Indeed he had. It was one of the first three or four fan letters I ever got — forwarded by Karateka's publisher Broderbund Software to my Yale Station post office box, where I was a 20-year-old senior in college. John himself was "17 going on 18," as he was careful to specify in his letter, perhaps figuring the extra year might cause me to take him more seriously.
John assures me that he has my answer in storage somewhere. I don't remember what I wrote, but you can read his original letter here. Thanks, John!
I couldn't resist posting this now, because I'll be seeing John again next week at GDC. We'll be on a panel with Tim Sweeney (Epic) and young whippersnappers Adam Saltsman (Canabalt) and Notch Persson (Minecraft), moderated by Jane Pinckard, on the topic of "Back to the Garage: The Return of Indie Development." Hope to see some of you there!
Real-Life Prince of Persia
This video by comedy group Karahat is so classic, I just had to repost it. Thanks to Kotaku and many kind people on twitter for alerting me to its existence.
The prince's foray into real life may not do for parkour what the Real Life Angry Birds commercial did for T-Mobile, but at least he's out there trying.
I didn't even realize this video's true genius until I saw it a second time — so thoroughly has the modern iPhone era of cheap-and-easy digital compositing effects reshaped my expectations. As far as I can tell, its central special effect was created using a technology that was equally available in 1985.
A special booster potion to the first reader who calls it out.
Silly Behind the Scenes G4 Interview
OK, so this isn't exactly "behind the scenes of making a game"… it's more like "behind the scenes of PROMOTING a game." It's a video about making a video: yesterday's G4/Xplay episode announcing my Karateka remake.
Anyone who knows me knows I'd rather spend nine hours straight at the computer than fifteen minutes on-camera, but I'm glad Dave and Earl documented this. I think.
Announcing Karateka
One big difference between the movie and video game industries is the way they handle news about upcoming projects.
Movies are announced early, and often. When a writer sells a pitch, when a director is attached, when a role is cast — all of these stages leading up to making the movie are freely reported and commented on. Even though there's no guarantee when, or if, an actual movie will ever get made. (See Fathom.) And studios are fine with it.
Video game studios, on the other hand, guard their game development plans like military secrets. It's not just that they don't want work-in-progress visuals getting out and giving a less-than-ideal impression of the game. Often, they won't even confirm that a project EXISTS until it's almost done, with tens of millions of dollars already spent and the end in sight.
A side effect of this is that, when game developers rub elbows at conferences like GDC, if A should ask B in a moment of drunken camaraderie "What are you working on?" the accepted answer is a big cagey grin and a tease: "Nothing I can talk about!" This is true even if B is the lead designer of Mass Metal Destruction 1 and 2 and remains employed by the same studio. It shouldn't really surprise anyone that, MMD2 having made half a billion dollars the year before, someone has thought of doing a MMD3. But some things are not to be spoken out loud.
So it's an exquisite frustration particular to game developers that we spend our time talking (and blogging, and being interviewed) about every aspect of our work EXCEPT what we're actually working on and are most excited to talk about.
And for me, today, it's an exquisite joy to finally be able to say this in print:
For the past year, I've been working with a small team to develop a new, updated remake of Karateka — the game that began my career 27 years ago.
(If you didn't happen to encounter Karateka in the early 1980s, you can read its backstory here.)
A New Karateka
Eight years is a long time between games, even for me. Since Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time shipped in 2003, I've been busy writing movies, TV, graphic novels, and other non-game projects. It feels great to be hands-on making a game again, and I can't wait for you to be able to play it.
It'll be a downloadable game for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, out this year. We're looking at bringing it to other platforms too. I'll update with more details in the coming months, as we get closer to release.
How different is the new Karateka from the original? It's closer than the 2003 POP:SOT was to the original, side-scrolling Prince of Persia. But it's a more radical reinvention than, say, the 2007 XBLA Prince of Persia Classic. The new Karateka is much more than a port; it's both a remake and a re-imagining of the original game for today's consoles.
For me as creative director, it's been an exciting chance to experiment with new gameplay mechanics and ideas that on previous console generations (and on the Apple II) I could only have dreamed about.
Why downloadable and why indie? For a lot of reasons, downloadable just feels right for Karateka. The original was a simple, compact, pick-up-and-play game that didn't require a lot of tutorial to understand what you had to do. Beating the game was hard, but even little kids could have fun playing it from the first moments. I wanted to honor that simplicity. Jumping from the Atari 400 to a huge triple-A retail console title felt like it would have been too big a leap.
I want to show that a game can be simple fun while also telling a human story in a way that's emotional, atmospheric, and beautiful. I've been encouraged to see gamers embrace downloadable titles like Limbo and Braid — games that stand out because of their design integrity and strong artistic choices, although they were made on modest budgets and don't represent technological breakthroughs. The industry is changing fast. It's an exciting time for indie.
And it doesn't get much more indie than programming a game on a 48K Apple II in my college dorm room, mailing it to a publisher on a 5.25″ floppy disk, and crossing my fingers — which is how Karateka began.
Back to GDC
In a couple of weeks at San Francisco GDC (Game Developers Conference), I'll be doing a panel with Tim Sweeney (Epic), Adam Saltsman (Canabalt), Notch Persson (Minecraft), and John Romero (Doom) discussing "Back to the Garage: The Return of Indie." I hope to see some of you there.
After that, it'll be time to put my head down, get back to work, and get back to not answering questions for the next couple of months.
But now you know at least one of the things I'm working on.
Many thanks to everyone who's taken the time to comment, or post on twitter or facebook, asking for a new Karateka or sharing your memories of playing the original game. Your encouragement means a lot to me and has helped to get this project off the ground. I truly hope you'll like the result.
Watch this blog and the Karateka page for updates.
It's a Book!
I'm happy to announce that in response to numerous reader requests, The Making of Prince of Persia is now available in two additional formats: in .epub format, and (drum roll…) paperback!
The paper book comes from CreateSpace, a really cool self-publishing service for authors. Basically, we sent them a print-ready PDF and they did the rest. The book weighs in at 323 pages, and looks and feels like a good-quality trade paperback. We've priced it at $16.99 (the difference from the ebook versions reflects the printing cost).
You can purchase the book here.
To anyone who's previously paid for another version of the ebook and would like to have the .epub version for convenience, let us know and we'll email it to you. Like the PDF, it's non-DRMed.
Once the dust has settled, I'll post (and Aaron, Dave and Danica may guest-post) about the results of our grand ebook/self-publishing experiment, and what we've learned. Short answer: It was more work than we anticipated — but now that we know how, the next book should be a lot easier. I think.
Also: For readers curious about who some of the people referred to in the journals are, or what became of them, I've posted a "who's who" of players in the making-of-Prince of Persia saga, here.
Many thanks to everyone who's read the book and reviewed, posted or tweeted about it. The response has been fantastic, and makes it all worth it.
Siri Meets Eliza
Since I got my iPhone 4S, I've been intrigued, fascinated and alarmed by Siri's fast-growing capabilities. I thought it would make sense to introduce her to my psychotherapist, Eliza.
ELIZA was one of the first (and longest) BASIC programs I typed into my then brand-new 16K Apple II in 1979. Originally created at MIT by Joseph Weizenbaum in 1966, this pioneering natural-language-processing simulation of a Rogerian psychotherapist impressed my family and friends every bit as much as Siri does now. I was curious to see how they would get along.
Here is a transcript of their first encounter. Despite their 45-year age difference and two-million-fold disparity in RAM, I thought they understood each other remarkably well. Continue Reading

Ruston, LA (SportsNetwork.com) - Kenneth Smith registered a double-double with 16 points and a game-high 10 assists as he helped guide the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs to a 90-75 win over the North Texas Mean Green in Conference USA play at the Thomas Assembly Center.
Kenyon McNeail came off the bench to produce a team-high 18 points for the Bulldogs (20-5, 8-2 C-USA), shooting 4-of-6 behind the 3-point line. Alex Hamilton checked in with 15 points, Michale Kyser 13 and eight boards, followed by Chris Anderson with 12 points as the team posted a third straight victory.
The Mean Green (11-12, 2-7) were paced by Jordan Williams who posted 17 points and a game-high 10 rebounds, followed by Alzee Williams and Vertrail Vaughns with 11 and 10 points, respectively, as they fell for the fifth time in six games.
UNT led by as many as nine points in the first half, thanks to 48.4 percent shooting from the floor, but ended up trailing by a point at the break, 37-36, after being outscored 8-4 at the free-throw line.
In the second half Louisiana Tech feasted at the free-throw line with 24-of-30 shooting, cruising to the 15-point win as a result.
The Bulldogs turned the ball over just nine times and outscored North Texas at the charity stripe, 32-12.

As if these actually exist? To the tumblr friend, thank you so much for putting a smile on my face ❤
Just call me Coco...
Note the 'For now' part of the original statement.
You know the things you think you'll think about when you're threatened with the prospect of death?
Yeah well I'm not thinking about them.
Like what my last meal would ideally be or who would be here when I finally died (other than my parents), or what I'd hoped to achieve by said day, what I wish I'd done or said etc.
I've been trying to think about my best life moments but it's not flashing before my eyes. Weird experience. Really weird.
I just want to rest.
It's all very sudden. Everything is.
I'm half expecting a message like 'I've been worse than you and I was fine'.
You might've been. Docs just told me I might be nearing the end yesterday though so I'd say I'm allowed to be terrified.
I've started to have the moments where I'd be ok if it all just stopped.
I don't want to be in this pain anymore. It's gotten way beyond control.
I wouldn't go as far as 'euthanise me' but I'm creeping ever closer to DNR.
Looking particularly fetching with an ice pack on my 'ead
High flow oxygen - aka the noisiest piece of kit EVER
My note for the day:
It's all got very serious and scary in camp CF, for me at least. Had some conversations about assisted breathing, ventilation and other big scary things. Had bizarre fits of breathing and passed out and all sorts. It's been bizarre to say the least.
All you really need to know about my day though, the weirdest part, is that… I've been catheterised. Yep. Lol.
Seriously debating…

Asking hipsters about bands that don't exist. Brilliant.
best thing on the fucking internet.

- Books, good food and atmosphereRetailManagerVIPDined on 8/19/2014There are 3 parts to this restaurant. The bar area with high top tables is small but nice area for lunch or a snack. There is a back area of the bar that has a larger tables to spread out. The Bar has an extensive Whisky collection. The mixed I had drinks were well made. The main dinning area is a bit noisy but works for most occasions. They have an outside dinning area, which I preferred (weather permitting). The food was very good , well seasoned and well presented. The food was consistently good (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner). The service was good to outstanding depending on the time of day. Overall it surprised me by the great food and very good service both at the bar and restaurant.Special Features:
- Won't returnJulesDined on 8/7/2014Food was good and the atmosphere is very nice. Service was inattentive and slightly rude, unfortunately.Special Features:
- Not the same as we remembered itjopoDined on 8/2/2014We had brunch here several years ago when we stayed at the Alexis Hotel. The experience we had that time was very good and so we decided to try it again since we were in Seattle for the weekend. Unfortunately we had to arrive late because of Seafair road closures. The brunch menu was not being served by the time we arrived and they had a limited menu, which was very limited. Apparently since the last time we were there, changes had been made and not for the better. Food was only Ok and service, considering we were basically the only people there could have been better. All in all, not a terrible experience, but also nothing to write home about. We probably won't be back anytime soon as there are plenty of other restaurants to try.
- Was hoping for moreeatingSeattleVIPDined on 7/11/2014I've been meaning to check out Bookstore Bar & Cafe for months...I'm a writer and I love bookstores, so I had really hyped this place up in my head. It didn't meet any of my expectations. The menu was pretty much all over the place, and wasn't particularly compelling. We had the mushroom and hazelnut "pate" and the fried chicken and waffles. The fried chicken was very good; the waffle was bland and boring, the gravy was odd and didn't add much. The "pate" didn't have much flavor (the tomato spread on top had more flavor than the pate itself!). The service was slow, despite a nearly empty dining room, and we thought the drinks were quite expensive--and very heavy on whiskey. And absolutely zero play on the bookstore theme, which was sad!
- We all have off days.JodiVIPDined on 7/6/2014I was meeting a friend for breakfast and when deciding between options, we chose Bookstore because they took reservations and my friend had a positive experience the last time she went there and I'd never been. When my friend arrived, she waited a pretty long time before being greeted - it seemed like they were short staffed. Then when we finally got our table, our server took a very long time to come out and was downright sour - each time we had an interaction it took a few reminders and a long wait to get to the next step (menus, ordering, coffee refills, the check, etc.). The food wasn't great - some things were overcooked, and the winter squash and kale was very bitter. Disappointing- hopefully it was just one day, not "the usual".
- Great experience!FaijoseDined on 6/23/2014Good service, great environment for groups. No gratuity for party of 8+, separate bills made individual billing efficient.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Comfortable for late night stopOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/14/2014We came here after a work event that was downtown. Very comfortable and cozy atmosphere.Special Features:
- The following 181 reviews are from the Bookstore Bar & Café reviews archive.
- Excellent food!bpmcfarSeattleVIPDined on 5/16/2014Love the renovated space and new menu - I ordered the grilled veggie/chevre/pesto sandwich with fries, and it was delish!Special Features:
- "Neighborhood" Feeling in DowntownmmmseattleDined on 5/10/2014My boyfriend and I hit the Bookstore Bar and Cafe at 11:30am on a Saturday. Granted, it's not quite tourist season yet, but the place was quiet and relaxed - just like what you find in a Seattle neighborhood. Fantastic food - I had the eggs with toast, potatoes and chicken sausage and my boyfriend had a plate of beautifully displayed French-toast. The Americanos were great as well as the service. We will definitely go back regularly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UnexpectedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 4/14/2014We love the ambience and decoration, however, the food was off par. We selected The Bookstore Bar & Cafe because we wanted something simple and with easy access to get to during lunch. Our food took over 30 minutes to be prepared for a party of 7, and it was not up to par. Two of my colleagues ordered burgers and it was extremely dry. The fries were good, but no seasoning on the meat and it was dry. Sad.
- cozy and sedateOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 3/19/2014we ate in the dining room which was excellent for conversation. the bacon jam appetizer was okay but not spectacular. the fried chicken and waffle were tasty, but the ginger soy gravy was tasteless. the clam chowder was a wow because the tiny shells were in the bowl. it was thinner than I usually would prefer, but the flavor was very good. the kale salad topped with ahi tuna was very good. the coconut panna cotta was too thick and did not have a strong coconut flavor. the flourless chocolate cake was dense and yummy. unfortunately, the two strawberries were probably previously frozen. the whipped cream was delicious. the apple crumb had a oatmeal (?) topping which should have been a flour/butter/sugar mix.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing...JenRDined on 3/12/2014Place as awesome ambiance but the service was awful. We ended up with the wrong salad, my soup (supposed to be my entree) and her entree all at the same time. No pacing at all. When they brought the wrong salad, the waiter didn't even apologize, he just rolled his eyes and went to get the correct one. When we told the manager, he said "the least he could do" was give us a free glass of wine. Yes, that was indeed the LEAST you could do... the food didn't even end up being that amazing. I do know these guys recently re-opened in this location but this was pretty bad.Special Features:
- Too Noisy and Mediocre ServiceAllieDined on 3/7/2014The food was good but they were unclear about happy hour offerings. (If they're only available in the bar they should say so on their website or when you make a reservation!) It was also INCREDIBLY loud and the staff seemed a little bit overworked.Special Features:
- Hit and MissbibabeDined on 3/5/2014A group of three of us had lunch here recently. The service and ambiance were wonderful. One of us ordered the tuna steak special really liked the meal. The other two of us were disappointed in our choices: burger and fish and chips. On a previous visit to the Library Bistro, we all loved what we had ordered.Special Features:
- An awesome brunch experienceDigitalSingularityDined on 2/23/2014We went to the Bookstore Bar & Cafe after they were completed with their renovation and expansion. I had never had brunch here until now. We were here to celebrate my wife's birthday with a bunch of friends. The food was absolutely delicious. I had a wild mushroom crepe that was wonderful. The service was great... our waters were refilled regularly and everyone had plenty to eat and drink. I'm totally coming back.Special Features:
- It took around 30mins forBobsDined on 2/14/2014It took around 30mins for our wine to turn up, and for the staff to take our food order, even with a "I'll be right back" 20 mins earlier. The only reason they came is because I had to get up and ask for.attention. One could excuse that with a busy night, poor training or whatever, but then the food was lackluster and therefore overpriced. They didn't even try to recover that much - they went through the motions, but it was almost as if they didn't care.
- Beautiful décor, but the carpetmesaabiertaDined on 1/30/2014Beautiful décor, but the carpet is old and it is ripped in sports.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surrounded by books while dining!GailwDined on 1/15/2014We had our anniversary dinner at this lovely restaurant this week. Although it seemed that they were short on staff, our server was friendly and efficient, while maintaining a casual demeanor. The food was excellently prepared. I especially liked the mussels au pistou, a dish of fresh mussels in a well-seasoned pesto sauce.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for small biz lunch meetingsDaynaDined on 1/13/2014Library Bistro is easy to get to by car, bus or walking from ferry. Excellent warm cozy atmosphere. Quiet -- great for small lunch meetings where you need a quiet atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special brunch placeOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 12/25/2013A unique place for a holiday brunch and to linger and talk. Cozy booths, lots of atmosphere, attentive service, and good food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- stay away on a major holidayAlanDined on 12/25/2013On Christmas day service was slow and forgetful. I had the sense -and I could be mistaken- that the experienced "senior" service was given the holiday off and either bus persons or other inexperienced staff were on duty. Hotel restaurants that do not primarily serve businessmen are typically slow on breakfast service, so when they are slower than slow customer frustration ensues.
- We will be back!suzanneDined on 12/25/2013Wait staff friendly, accommodating, attentive without hovering. Ambience comfortable, welcoming yet very fine. Like dining in someone's home library/ den. Booths provide comfortable private spaces. Food varied, healthy and excellently prepared.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- For the past two years ourChristinaDined on 12/8/2013For the past two years our family has met up here for a holiday brunch before attending the Nutcracker at McCaw Hall. Library Bistro is a lovely spot with a great menu, and it's quiet enough that we can all hear each other. Last year the service was spot-on, but this year the food took forever to come, despite the restaurant being less than half-full, and the service was less than attentive (the server checked back with us once after the food arrived, but there was no ongoing replenishment of water and coffee, despite our being there for an hour and a half). We plan to have brunch there again next year, in hopes the service problem was a rare lapse, and not an ongoing problem.Special Features:
- sad sundayevapavaVIPDined on 11/17/2013went for brunch before the game. waited almost 5 mins before anyone came to seat us. It was clear the were understaffed took long time for food to get to us. The server kept apologizing for the delay and ended up comping us a drink but we sat for a long time just waiting not seeing anyone. They were out of our first choice, second choice food was not cooked sufficiently and cool when it got to the table. Seemed like everything was off from the moment we got there.
- Neighborhood Sweet SpotBonAppetitDined on 11/16/2013Wonderful food --- superb selection and wonderfully prepared. Environment is opulent, lovely, calm with comfortable seating. Consider it a "Jewel" in my neighborhood!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place to go for brunchCookingBearDined on 11/3/2013Great place to go for brunch before a Seahawks game.Special Features:
- There are several thoughtfullyjdeeVIPDined on 11/2/2013There are several thoughtfully inventive items on the menu. Our discovery this visit: try the granola! Made with "spent grains" from the Pike Place Brewery, it's really nicely flavored.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expensive, but you get whatOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 11/2/2013Expensive, but you get what you pay for. Excellent wild mushroom crepes as well as the breakfast bread pudding.Special Features:
- surpriseMrsBradyDined on 11/1/2013I had thought it would be busier. I really like the space. The food was wonderful, the service was terrific. It was not crowded at all, and that surprised me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quiet and ComfortableWoodinvillerDined on 10/13/2013We had breakfast at the Library Bistro before a Seahawks game. There were several other diners going to the game as well. The food was well prepared and presented. Portions were average size. Don't expect an "all you can eat" buffet experience. The service was excellent. The real gem here is the atmosphere. Quiet and very comfortable. It feels more like a home than a restaurant. We are planning to go back for a romantic dinner. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre-Seahawks brunchJulieGDined on 10/13/2013This was an excellent location for brunch prior to attending a Seahawks game. It's a little further away from the stadium than some of the other restaurants but is still an easy walk to the game. The service was good and the food was good.Special Features:
- Nice Place not so great foodFoodie34Dined on 10/6/2013We decided to give this place a try since we always heard good things about it. The bistro was nicely decorated and our server was a super nice guy but food was a different story. we had to send our food back because part of it was over cooked and some of it was still alive! Our server was graceful about it but the staff in the kitchen must have not been doing well because the dish came out a huge mess for the 2nd time. It's same to say we are not going back there again.
- Great for breakfast and lunchanthonyledonneVIPDined on 10/3/2013Food, service, and ambiance are great. Cocktails were surprisingly well prepared. Will definitely be back for breakfast and lunch for business or pleasure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gracious Service!PattDined on 9/30/2013The food was beautifully prepared and very tasty. It was a Monday lunch with friends from Australia whom I hadn't seen in 2 years. We had a 12:30 reservation and stayed talking until 5:00! The waitstaff graciously let us stay long past closing time, with never a hint that we should leave. They even left the lights on in our section, while turning them off in the rest of the restaurant. Their thoughtfulness was much appreciated!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A very nice, quietly elegantjdeeVIPDined on 9/7/2013A very nice, quietly elegant space, decorated like someone's private library. Some thoughtfully different things on the brunch menu, such as a jam made of bacon and creme fraiche served on an English muffin.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just fine for hotel breakfastWithkidsthistimeDined on 8/25/2013Usually the food sells me on a place. This time it was the service, which was absolutely attentive, but not overbearing, friendly, but not obnoxious - it was perfect for breakfast service. The setting is calm and quaint. Not too big, but not too small. Comfy booths to read the paper and spread out. The good was fine - nothing spectacular. The quiche was tasty, but could have been more full of stuff (in my case mushrooms, ham, cheddar). The beignets were a bit over fried, but who doesn't love a little bit of sweet tasty fried thing in the morning??!?? The potatoes were excellent! I would definitely go back if staying in the hotel - but wouldn't make a trip of it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cozy spot for a family brunchLisaDined on 6/16/2013Located in the upscale Alexis Hotel, The Library Bistro provided a wonderful spot for my party of 6 to have Father's Day brunch. It's large enough to accomodate groups, and I loved the decor of feeling like you're nestled amongst someone's extensive library of books. Normally I go for a louder, more vibrant brunch place with friends; but this restaurant was perfectly suited for a family outing because the atmosphere was more conducive to talking (instead of shouting) and catching up. We did run into one hiccup--the kitchen forgot to make my latte--but the server eventually realized the issue. She thanked me for waiting and said it would be complimentary. I would say the food was not life-changing, but everyone did enjoy their meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lost it's touchScottVIPDined on 5/31/2013I can't remember when I had such a strong negative reaction to a dining experience. Salad was the size of a side and one was overdressed, the other under. Burgers served plain, dry and overcooked. Asked for mayo, told no, just aoli, requested the aoli which arrived just in time of the last bite. Service was sporadic at best which was odd since not many diners. Meal was served at different time so those that had salad for lunch were almost done by the time the burgers arrived. Lots of choices downtown, we'll be making other choices next time.
- Very good food. Service pleasantPattiDined on 5/19/2013Very good food. Service pleasant and efficient. Attractive room. Close to Seattle waterfront.Special Features:
- Average food but expensiveNP12VIPDined on 5/13/2013Atmosphere is nice, but the food is average at best. The quality of food doesn't justify the price. It's way overpriced.

Complex's What The Sneaker Game Will Look Like in Five Years
July 26th, 2013 by John Kim | 1 comment
Complex wraps up its week-long exploration of the State of Sneakers with the "Future" of the game. What they project to happen in the sneaker game in five years is a culmination of their own observations combined with the input of the younger generation and industry folk, and the items they've pointed out make plenty of sense, carefully mapping out ten topics that have every possibility to become a reality. Rising prices, NIKEiD becoming even more versatile, more signature shoes for non-athletes – it all seems to be in the works as we speak, but what do you think will happen five years from now? Let us know the comments below and head to Complex for their full piece.

After weeks of negotiations and debate it looks like a controversial unemployment extension plan will pass the Senate Tuesday afternoon. The late Senator Robert Byrd's replacement is going to be sworn-in Tuesday. Carte Goodwin will be taking his West Virginia seat and he is expected to be the crucial 60th vote on this long delayed bill. A quick note about Goodwin, to get him into the seat an emergency measure was passed by both the House and Senate. It sets an August primary and a November 2nd general election to find a permanent replacement for Byrd.
The GOP has been very against this bill, slamming the President, saying it is just too costly. They say it will cost around $34 billion dollars and they think there should be a way to fund the extension by either the stimulas package or by making budget cuts. Now if it is passed the unemployment package which expired on June 2nd would be extended until November 30th. If all goes as expected and this is passed about 2.5 million people will receive jobless benefits retroactively. There will not be any help for those people who have received the maximum 99 weeks of unemployment benefits.

Nope. If one organization is both testing and fixing, then they'll
have to document why the problem occurred; it'll have to be either
something they didn't know about before, or a result of some change
made by the customer.
If they didn't know about it before, they'll need to be documenting

Wow! Very moist, flavorful bread.The port really gives this a wonderful flavor. The only change I made was to change the flours- 1c whole wheat, 1/2c white and 1/2c ground flaxseed to double the health factor.

Commoditised IT services deployed as a public, private or hybrid
cloud solution are rapidly becoming a mainstream alternative to a
purely in-house deployment. For companies growing quickly and
requiring more management flexibility, this deployment model
represents a great alternative both financially and operationally,
yet there is always a concern that putting the control in the hands
of a cloud provider may present a risk.

company's primary research activities, which provide ongoing
insights into how IT industry developments map onto practical
business needs in the Enterprise and SMB mainstream.

in both end-user and vendor environments. In the first part of his
career, he held positions as developer, architect and project
manager within companies such as Glaxo and Heineken. He later moved
on to the vendor community and worked in various consulting,
business development and management roles at Nortel Networks, SAP,
JD Edwards and Sybase.
Dale has worked as an industry analyst since the year 2000,
initially with Bloor Research and later with Quocirca, where he
developed and ran the company's core primary research business
until co-founding Freeform Dynamics in 2005.

By Mike Szymanski
In a leaky brick warehouse just next to a railroad in downtown Los Angeles, John Travolta calms Uma Thurman before they shoot a scene for the "Get Shorty" sequel, "Be Cool!"
Travolta points out a revolving lamp that sits on a front desk of the set that has been transformed into a hip, modern record company and he names the kinds of jets on the lamp. Then, he snaps into character and becomes the ruthless Chili Palmer.
"Chili is one of my favorite characters," says Travolta during a break. "He's like the James Bond of the streets, but he's also a guy with a kind of enthusiasm, with a childlike passion for movies, music and this industry."
In the sequel to the story penned by novelist Elmore Leonard, Palmer abandons the movie-making industry and becomes a music mogul, bringing his wiseguy mobster mentality to the world of rap and hip-hop. Travolta, who has made a few records of his own during his "Saturday Night Fever" days, laughs when Zap2it.com asks him if the music industry is more dangerous than the movie biz.
"Yes, because I think the kind of Mafia influence in the music industry is a little more historic," says Travolta. "Even before 'Grease' when I did records, even as a kid, I could sense leveraging going on around me, and there definitely was a heavier vibe than there was a movie vibe."
Although he's met a few sleazy characters in his day (and played them, too, most recently in "The Punisher"), Travolta says, "Chili is not a mimic of anything I know, but a compilation of many people I reflect on growing up in the movie industry and on the street. He's an original guy. He's a Sean Connery of the street. In the book, the details guide you how to play it."
He says he suggested Uma Thurman for the role, reprising the chemistry they had in "Pulp Fiction." As she's off in the corner of the set playing with her children between takes while a makeup person sprays her hair incessantly, he says, "I'm wonderful friends with Uma, I love her, and I like us on the screen together, we have a natural chemistry and trust each other on screen. It's a wonderful thing to have that professional experience."
Although other top-rated actresses wanted the part, she ended up taking the exotic role as Palmer's main squeeze. Travolta says that although he, like Palmer, probably prefers Frank Sinatra, he's aware of other new music.
"I have tons of CDs and musicians that they've been giving me that I should be familiar with, but I've known about Black Eyed Peas, some gangsta rap, and OutKast, of course," says Travolta. Outkast's frontman Andre 3000 has done so well in his small part as a band member for an agent played by Cedric the Entertainer, the musician's part was expanded, and he's become a scene stealer.
A makeup person brushes ash off the shoulder of Thurman's peach outfit and she puts out her Marlboro cigarette while another assistant takes away her knitting, which she works on during down time. She and Travolta re-take their scene a dozen times with Paul Adelstein as Hy and Kimberly J. Brown as Tiffany, two office workers in Palmer's music company.
The dialogue involves mentions of Madonna, Vanilla Ice and Aerosmith. Interrupted by a train going past the warehouse, Travolta adlibs, "I'll take the Amtrak to San Diego!"
Director F. Gary Gray throws down his NYN baseball cap and yells "Cut!" They take a break and he eats fruit salad and drinks tea. He directed "Friday," "A Man Apart" and "The Italian Job," but now he's taking on a sequel featuring a classic character.
"I'm not worried because the script was great from the beginning," Gray says. "I can have my own stamp on this because the only existing character is Chili Palmer, and he's in a whole new environment. It's much more dangerous and much more contemporary."
After spending 15 years in the music business, (he won an MTV Award for directing TLC's "Waterfall" video) Gray says he's having fun working with Travolta and Thurman, as well as directing a duet between Travolta and Harvey Keitel. Earlier in the day, Gray filmed James Woods being murdered in an over-the-top fashion, becoming the movie's first victim. The Oscar-nominated actor throws in different quirks in every take, pulling on his zipper in one shot, telling a joke in another shot.
After his scene is done, he's filmed while dancing crazily -- clown dancing, the call it -- so they can use it in the closing credits of the film.
Travolta looks across the warehouse and says, "I'm not going to do that!" When a crew member explains they'll want everyone to do it some point, Travolta smiles and says, "Now I'm nervous. I don't want to look silly. But then, I saw James Woods do it, and I guess I have nothing to worry about."
"Be Cool!" is tentatively set for Feb. 11, 2005.

Was it just me? said...
Well, as a raiding shadow priest (disc sub for healing heroics), I am doing pretty well on the dps charts. Not the top, never the top (save on certain AoE pulls with mind sear), but more than respectable. Given the added utility of buffs and mana and health regen (and an occasional off-heal when the main healers get taxed), I enjoy the role. Leveling as anything but shadow was painful as all get out; though, I enjoyed healing instances at level as shadow (no respec needed). Are there better classes? Yea, maybe - even probably. But, I really enjoy the priest class...(and actually enjoy disc healing far better than holy).

As temperatures dip to dangerous levels, Animal Control is checking on those left outside.
"It's very possible that your animal could die outside in this kind of weather," said Hall County Animal Control Officer Alyssa Nesiva.
On Monday, the owner of a husky was warned after officers found him near a tiny kennel with frozen water and a small blanket.
"If they're just on the concrete, we've seen dogs literally be frozen to the ground," said Nesiva.
Jibral Joncilec, of Grand Island, has been watching his dogs closely.
"I try to put some hay and cover the kennel with some tarps and try to keep checking the water," he said.
"Water is going to freeze very fast so you need to be out there often checking water for them," said Nesiva.
Some dogs saw five gallons of water freeze in two hours Monday.
Still, Hall County Animal Control officers aren't getting many calls.
"It does concern us a little bit. We usually expect it to blow up when it gets cold," said Nesiva.
They hope it's a sign pet owners are taking precautions, not that people just aren't reporting animals left in dangerous conditions.
Officers say if you see an animal without food, water or protection from the elements, call them immediately.
Usually the pet owner will get a warning, but on days like Monday, Nesiva said they're more likely to take your animal just to keep it safe.
Hall County Animal Control can't do what they call "welfare checks" after hours; so they encourage you to not wait to report.

They want LESS people at Blizzcon, not more. If they wanted more people at this thing, they'd get more space for the convention. The tickets sell out in a matter of MINUTES when the website works. Higher prices means only the people who really want to go will pay, and hopefully scalpers will make less of a profit.

Where's the Dawn in 'The Dawn Treader'?
New Narnia film overlooks one of the book's main themes, falls short on others
CT film critic Steven D. Greydanus, writing for The National Catholic Register, clearly articulates a number of the problems with The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which opened to a weak $24.5 million over the weekend -- a much weaker opening than for The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe ($65.6 million) and for Prince Caspian ($55 million).
Analysts and studio heads will come up with all sorts of theories for the weak opening, but certainly one of the reasons is that the film got all sorts of things wrong, when compared to the book. Greydanus does a nice job in describing the challenges of converting a beloved book to the big screen, that it rarely can be a perfect adaptation, and that some changes are inevitable. That's well enough, but some of the changes are head-scratchers -- starting with the title itself.
The Dawn Treader is supposed to be sailing always east, toward the world's edge, the eternal dawn, toward Aslan's country. But the film completely overlooks that. Greydanus asked two key people about the that -- Walden Media president Micheal Flaherty and co-producer Douglas Gresham. Flaherty understood and acknowledged the validity of Greydanus's point; Gresham blew it off.
"Narnia has an interesting geography: The world is flat," Flaherty said. "And there is something beckoning about the utter east. That would have been a good shot. … That's an interesting point." But Gresham, C. S. Lewis's stepson who calls himself the "Narnia police" to make sure the films get the main things right, said, "I don't think that's the least bit important, to be honest. That they sail eastward, in Narnia? A flat world, theoretically? I don't think it is, no."
Read the rest of Steven's insights here. He voices all of my own concerns about the film, but much more articulately than I ever could.
For me, the movie was very well-done. You have to agree that the Dawn Treader is the most difficult Narnia book to adapt to film, largely to its episodic plot; so the filmakers had to make adjustments in the story to make it work in the film. Also, I counted 9 Christian themes in the film and that's what's most important. I liked the 1st one better because it is a more favorite book of mine. I hope they continue making the books into movies!
My family and I liked the movie, but it just didn't knock our socks off. The biggest thing missing in my mind was the lack of a musical theme, or much music at all.
Well, it didn't knock my socks off, but sequels rarely do. I think they made a pretty good film anyway. As for the East business, to be honest, although I'm sure Lewis had it in mind, I had completely forgotten about it, and if I had been in Gresham's shoes, I probably would have done the same. He's the Narnia Policeman, but he has to pick his battles. Someone on the other site mentioned that the BBC adaptions were better; but I'm with Gresham here too; Aslan looked ridiculous, which can't be tolerated.
Marianne - I agree - I bought both of the first two movies soundtracks -I'm not planning on this. Nothing in the music made me want to buy the soundtrack.
Honestly - I liked the movie - a lot. Its been years since I read the book but maybe because I love books and movies a lot I can more easily dismiss changes made - or I just don't assume it will be exactly like the book.... I don't know.
Let's remember these movies, as the books, are aimed at children. Let's enjoy them with the eyes of a child, instead of demanding our adult perfectionistic expectations.
I attribute much of the weak sales to the negative reviews (i.e. "lacks the awe and wonder of the book") using rigid, 'informed,' expectations. Can we again support and promote the good, and let these newer vehicles be imperfect (as we are)?
Despite the reviews, I saw the movie and reveled to be immersed in Narnia for a short time. I now have a new visual picture of how temptation creeps up and blinds me, as well as many reminders of the loving graciousness of our God.
Are we, as a Christian culture succumbing to the negative, hyper-critical idealism that surrounds us? Please..."unless you change and become like little children..."
The producers are to be commended or saving Narnia movies for us. That Disney was so shortsighted is a mystery, esp. since they abandonded VDT for inferior material to produce. I missed the Disney touch, and the thrilling music by Harry-Gregson-Williams, but Im grateful to even have the movie at all. I think they can stick to the books more and not try to update to the standards of modern movie-making- which means gut the deep meanings and turn it into a shoot 'em up. Please bring us silver chair, please keep budgets under contol so you don't feel the need to bail out on the series. Please bring us caspian and Lil and their romance before you age them- and please, a little more merch- a calendar would have been nice- along with bookmarks and buttons, at least.
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. No, it's not as good as the book, but very, very few movies are. I thought it much better than Caspain. I am sad to see so many critics pan it or downgrade it. It's so much better than most of the movies out there, plus it has "the lion".

Eights months after the attack that killed four Americans in Libya, the news on Benghazi just kept coming this week.
Wednesday's House committee hearings didn't result in dramatic revelations -- but they were enough for Republicans and their allies to hail them as a major advance in the investigation. Then came the the report of a series of emails documenting how the long-maligned talking points evolved with input from the White House and the State Department.
(Also on POLITICO: Grading the media's Benghazi coverage)
Here are POLITICO's five things learned about the continuing political fallout this week:
Hillary Clinton's more than just the subtext
In the beginning, Republicans used Benghazi to derail Susan Rice's path to succeed Clinton at the State Department, while the former secretary of state enjoyed relative deference on the issue from the other side of the aisle. No more. As the House Oversight Committee hearing made clear, Clinton - whose name was mentioned 32 times - is now the GOP's primary target.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), at the start of on a weekend trip to Iowa where he's meeting with a host of activists important to a 2016 campaign, said Clinton is "absolutely responsible" for the Benghazi attack. He also wrote on Twitter that "Benghazi proves that Hilary Clinton should never hold high office again."
(PODCAST: This week's emotional Benghazi hearing)
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who traveled to Libya on his own fact-finding mission, said Clinton will be haunted by her January Senate committee hearing response to Sen. Ron Johnson's (R-Wis.) question why the U.S. compound at Benghazi was attacked.
"Her comment about, 'What difference does it make?' will live with her forever," Chaffetz told POLITICO Friday. "That is so cold-hearted, I think that is what she really believes. But to do it in such a public setting is really going to live with her forever."
Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas), a firebrand conservative, said Friday that Obama, Clinton and Rice "blatantly lied" to protect the president during his re-election campaign.
David Axelrod, the architect of Obama's two winning presidential campaigns, said it was clear to him that nothing but presidential politics was driving any of it.
On Twitter, Axelrod wrote that he "can't help but feeling that If Ken Salazar were the front runner for '16, the House GOP (would) be holding hearings on the BP oil spill."
Clinton herself has strenuously avoided the topic since she appeared at House and Senate hearings in January. She delivered a speech Wednesday night in California that didn't make mention of the House hearings held hours earlier.
"We truly still today, despite all of our partisan wrangling and the gridlock that sometimes seems to take hold, we stand up for the rights and opportunities of all people," was the closest Clinton came to addressing it.
White House attempts to put out the fire only fueled it
From the beginning, the Obama administration's nothing-to-see-here public attitude to the Benghazi attacks and response has only driven more interest from Republicans and the conservative media.
Obama himself took aim at Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) when they made Rice the center of questions for her appearance on the Sunday morning shows to relay the White House talking points. White House press secretary Jay Carney has repeatedly dismissed additional questions about the event as efforts to carry water for Republicans.
Carney on Friday blamed both Mitt Romney and congressional Republicans for politicizing the attack as he sought to downplay both the newsworthiness of the Benghazi fallout and the amount of attention the GOP has paid to the administration's response.
"It's a big deal because Republicans have chosen, in the latest iterations of their efforts, to politicize it," Carney said. "There is an ongoing effort to make something political out of it, but the problem with that effort is that it's never been clear what they think they are accusing the administration of doing."
But Republicans say the inability to provide information to the public - even as the White House insists it has provided access to documents and information to relevant congressional committees - leaves key questions about how the administration responded unanswered.
"Most things that they led us to believe are now being demonstrated as untrue," Chaffetz said. "The reality is we have four dead Americans and terrorists who have never been brought to justice. The Democrats have a tendency to say this is just political, but can you imagine if we were eight months after the Boston attacks and nobody had been captured or apprehended?"
The House cares more about Benghazi than the Senate does
House Republicans used the time they spent waiting for the Democrat-controlled Senate to work through gun control and immigration reform to hammer the White House on Benghazi.
House GOP leadership and House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) can't get enough about Benghazi. But across the Capitol in the Senate -- besides McCain and Graham -- most Republicans in the upper chamber haven't mustered the same level of anger.
Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said Wednesday that he had little interest in Issa's hearings.
"I've been able to read all the cables. I've seen the films. I feel like I know what happened in Benghazi," Corker said on MSNBC. "I'm fairly satisfied, but look, if the House wants to have hearings, I hope they're done in a respectful way and hopefully it will shed some light on what happened."
Contrast that to the House, where Stockman accused the administration of trying to brush the issue "under the rug of presidential politics: "America deserves to know the truth about who knew what and when, and why more was not done to protect the lives of our civil servants in Libya," he said.
Chaffetz said a Senate Republican majority would be far more inclined to hold House-style Benghazi hearings of their own.
"Left to their own devices, there are a number of senators that would have their own hearing except they don't have the ability to hold them over there," Chaffetz said. "We were able to cultivate some whistleblowers that they hadn't necessarily done."
Senior administration officials said key congressional Republicans, who have long been aware of the emails disclosed by ABC News, are resuscitating them for political reasons.
The general counsel of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence gave a series of briefings to Republicans and Democrats - in leadership and on the House and Senate intelligence committees - from January to March, officials said. Lawmakers and their staff were given an opportunity to review the emails and were provided with a document detailing the 12 iterations of the talking points, the officials said.
Boehner, who sent staff to the March 19 briefing for House members, is now demanding that the White House release the emails publicly.
White House tied in knots over talking points
Carney claimed after the attack that the White House and State Department made only one minor word change to the controversial talking points distributed to Congress and Rice, the U.N. ambassador.
Turns out the story wasn't so simple.
State Department and White House officials had a more extensive role in the evolution of the talking points than was previously known. The emails disclosed Friday by ABC News shows that State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, in particular, raised substantive objections to a draft circulated among numerous government agencies with a stake in the investigation and the story.
Once all the agencies weighed in, the CIA deputy director took the suggestions and consolidated them into a final draft, senior administration officials said Friday.
It was during the circulation of that final draft that the White House offered a "stylistic" and "unsubstantive" change, as Carney put it, suggesting that the word "consulate" be changed to "diplomatic post."
Senior administration officials said they never meant to suggest that there hadn't been a deliberative process that led up to the final draft of the talking points.
Carney spent part of his briefing Friday trying to explain the distinction to reporters.
There was no intent to mislead, he said, adding that the White House was answering a specific question from reporters at the time: Did the White House change the intelligence community assessment?
Because the version pulled together by the CIA deputy director represented the intelligence community assessment, the emails show that only one small change came from the White House, senior administration officials said.
"These documents bear out what we have said all along," Carney said.
There isn't much new -- but that won't stop the news
When ABC reported Friday morning about a series of revisions to the State Department's Benghazi talking points, it was largely a rehash of what was in a Weekly Standard story that went online a week earlier.
But while little attention was paid to the Weekly Standard report, the network's Friday reporting opened the media floodgates.
Similarly, the consensus from those following the case closest is that Issa's hearings Wednesday broke little new ground.
Even the mother of one of the four Americans killed - who in the past has blamed Hillary Clinton personally for her son's death - told CNN Thursday that she didn't learn much new.
"I got a lot of answers, but not the ones that I really wanted," Smith said.
But the House hearings -- which current Secretary of State John Kerry described Friday as an example of a "pure, prolonged, political process that really doesn't tell us anything new about the facts" -- still grabbed precious real estate on the front pages of The New York Times and the Washington Post. Carney's briefing on Friday afternoon was carried live by all the cable networks, which kept up the coverage throughout the day.
"We're having a vigorous political debate based on only a partial understanding of what actually happened," former State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said. "This never handicaps Washington from having a political debate on either partial facts or no facts."
