The Out Door
Turning the World Into Art
The world of field recordings with Chris Watson, Ernst Karel, and Art Rosenbaum
By Marc Masters and Grayson Currin , October 21, 2011
In this edition of The Out Door, we explore the wide world of field recordings. We talk about trains in Mexico and the music of honeybees with British sound-scape artist Chris Watson, take a sonic tour of Swiss transport systems and Harvard laboratories with Massachusetts-based location recordist Ernst Karel, and travel through musical history with veteran ethnomusicologist Art Rosenbaum. But first we examine what exactly makes field recording such a unique and potent form of sonic art. (Reminder: Follow us on Twitter for news and info about all kinds of experimental music. Thanks to Rachel Evans for providing the background for The Out Door logo.)
I: Making the Microphones Do Something Interesting
The songs on Matthew Herbert's new album, One Pig, are made entirely from his recordings of a single swine. The way Herbert transforms that source into music is consistently compelling, but for me the most exciting points come when the pig gets to solo-- those moments when what's loudest are squeals and snorts, grunts and rustlings, left in their original state rather than morphed into beats or melodies. The pig wasn't trying to make art, yet I listen as if he were, enjoying and replaying the rhythms and melodies of his utterings the way I enjoy a song or an album.
That artificial reframing of natural events is what makes field recordings so fascinating. Art is normally filled with intent, from the first steps of its creation to its ultimate reception by whoever looks, listens, or otherwise absorbs it. All along, there's an aim to make and/or experience art-- an awareness that what's happening is about more than what happened. But field recordings subtract intent from the initial spark. When Herbert holds up his microphone to a pig, he may be making art, but the pig doesn't know, and doesn't care-- he'd make those sounds whether or not the microphone was there.
Or would he? If you believe in the Observer Effect, the minute a microphone is turned on, everything around it changes. Chris Watson, whom we speak with in this edition of the column, has likened setting up a microphone to lighting a fuse. The very act opens up spaces and casts new light on what happens there. Another of our interviewees, Ernst Karel, emphasizes how every part of field recording is transformative. Something makes a sound; sound causes reactions in his microphone; his mic creates electrical signals; those signals are converted into digital information that passes through electronic systems into human ears. As he puts it, "It's not a matter of capturing a sound that was there-- it's a matter of making the microphones do something interesting."
Of course, the term "field recording" is itself a moving target. What Herbert, Watson, and Karel do certainly qualifies, though Karel prefers the phrase "location recording," and others have called it "phonography." But just as often, "field recording" refers to the kind of in-situ musical documentation, or "ethnomusicology," practiced by our other interviewee, Art Rosenbaum. He's spent decades recording traditional music in its original environs-- in churches, on street corners, on front porches-- rather than in the artificial setting of a studio. When you listen to his Art of Field Recording series, with all its rich natural ambience and recognizable human activity, you realize how limited studio recording can be. In attempting to precisely capture music, studio recording risks reducing it, sucking some of the air out of it. It can literally shrink the field, and lose something in the process.
What Rosenbaum does is exactly the opposite. By recording music where it was made, he expands it, letting its entire world-- everything that surrounds it-- be art. While this may be different from what Watson and Karel do, it's interesting that both of them began as experimental musicians-- the former with British dada-influenced act Cabaret Voltaire, the latter with Seattle avant-noise outfit Blowhole. Presumably, learning to view music as an open-ended pursuit-- where definitions are blurred and rules are bent-- led both men to the Cagean realization that all sound can be art. In a similar way, Rosenbaum at some point decided that all music, no matter where it's made, is worthy of documentation, of being preserved as an object that we treat as art.
When you listen to the work of these three artists, I encourage you to take the same approach, and open your ears as wide as possible. It's not easy, and it's certainly not the only fruitful way to experience it. I love listening to Karel's as if it is fully-intentional music-- hearing big sounds as beats, repeated sounds as drones, and so on. Or I imagine I'm at a movie with my eyes closed, letting my brain create images to match the sound-scape, which can unleash the imagination in a manner much different, and often much greater, than images on a screen.
But still, I recommend letting your ears take the sound in as it is, without thinking of it as music, or documentary, or soundtrack, or anything else. Because slipping in between those imaginary distinctions is what field recordings do best. As Christian Marclay put it in Alan Licht's book Sound Art, "I think it is in sound's nature to be free and uncontrollable and to go through the cracks and go to places where it isn't supposed to go." By treating all sound as something worth capturing, field recordings indeed let sound go everywhere, and turn the entire world into art. --Marc Masters

Union Mission is the best non-profit in the state. The food they give is always free of charge. Their Store is also the outlet for the Family Services clients to receive clothing, furniture and household goods also free of charge. One of the greatest attributes of Union Mission Ministries and the main reason I financially support them is traditionally 80% of income goes directly to services for the community.

Re: [Marbling] Danilo's comments

- It is at times just paper. It can also be a spiritual experience. What that means to each person is likely different. When you are marbling you can be bored to tears, while making hundreds of the same paper, or you can be creating art and getting into an almost trance like state at the wonder of it all. Sometimes....pardon my saying so I hate it. Usually on those repetitive orders! Sometimes I hate it or get mad at it because it humbles me and lets me know I do not have ultimate control over it and I mess up big time. Who is to say, it depends on what is happening at the moment.
It is important to laugh, even at oneself, especially at oneself. One day I was full of myself for finding another little marbling discovery. Later that day a friend came over who is a fireman.....that day he had saved an old lady from a fire, and rescued an attemped suicide. I suddenly felt so unimportant....like it really was just pretty paper....no more.

Subject: [Marbling] Danilo's comments
It seems that the dogmatic tenor of some have reached a new level, or
rather, a new low! When I hear comments like these, it really makes me
start to wonder if I've been wasting my time, not only here, but in
general, all these years. My initial knee-jerk response is "Shall I
just throw in the towel and call it quits?". I've had my fill of this
talk to last several lifetimes!
It seems that no matter how seriously one tries to approach the study
of this art, no matter how many years one spends struggling to learn
difficult languages, study evidence, or systematically review claims,
not to mention simply make the stuff, it makes no difference in the
end. People will simply prefer what want to believe and take whatever
they can use to promote themselves as "distinguished" or "original"
Is the tradition of ebru a 1,000 year old spiritual tradition? Is it
even 1,000 years old? I've discussed this before, and rather than
repeat myself, please feel free to explore the list archives for my
musings on this subject.
A grandiose story is surely designed to IMPRESS the listener. Yet If
one demonstrates how certain the impressive claims are unsubstantiated,
it doesn't deter others from continuing to make them. People will find
a reason to ignore it, get upset and offended, take issue with you, or
just put you down and belittle you, as an uninitiated "outsider" who
couldn't POSSIBLY know what they are talking about. Responding to the
comments in a positive, encouraging, or objective manner seems elusive
at best. Subjective criticism is of no real help or benefit to anyone,
even the critic who utters it. Suffice it to say that I've found it
far more difficult and also more rewarding to maintain objectivity.
A few years ago I was greatly heartened to meet a Turkish woman who was
fortunate to visit the late Turkish master Mustafa Düzgünman at his
apothecary shop in Üsküdar in the 70's. She told me that he kept
repeating "it's merely paper!". While he is known to have taken
himself very seriously and felt a special duty to preserve his
traditional art form... this incident makes me openly wonder to what
degree that others have placed an even greater emphasis on what may
just have been either his or his teacher's inspired musings and
personal preferences.
In one sense, that is an aspect of any "tradition". It is what the
student of a particular master chooses to emphasize to their own
students in turn. Oddly enough, and with perhaps one exception, the
majority who promote the notion of ebru as a 1,000 year old spiritual
practice, are NOT students of Mustafa.
Please feel free to correct me if I am mistaken. I am always ready and
willing to listen and learn and revise my views. All you have to do is
provide me with some good data to show me why I should do so. I
encourage anyone to spend a little bit of time researching this area
For some time I have studied the topic of marbling and mysticism, and
have drafted a very lengthy essay that scrutinizes this issue in great
detail, but I remain hesitant to share it because I know it is bound to
offend someone. I'm not trying to do that, of course, but rather
attempting to encourage that if you believe as much, to provide better
documentation and evidence to support the claim. I also don't need to
burden the list members with what may seem a very arcane matter. In
time, when I feel it's well written and edited, I will share it.
Yet I am not immune from being human! I too have made comments in the
past that I'm not proud of and haunt me to some degree. Some have been
hurtful and for that I am truly sorry. I too have made unsubstantiated
claims and dismissed those who took a different view, or felt that my
methods were "superior" to other manifestations of this art form.
So maybe this is just my Karma, or in Turkish, my Kismet/ Arabic
Qismat. It is my hope to one day emerge from being full of myself to
being able to laugh at myself.

As a new member, I am looking forward to getting some great feedback regarding some self-defense ammunition.
I carry either a S&W Model 640 (2+1/8 inch barrel) in .357 magnum and a Springfield Armory 1911-A1, depending on the weather and what I'm wearing.
My question is simple: what do members of this forum consider the very best self-defense round in both .357 magnum and .45 ACP?

There isn't a best. If there was we would all know it. Manufactorers would duplicate it and there would be some fairly close copies, so there still wouldn't be a best.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.
First off, welcome to the board.
Everyone has their personal favorites. I shoot a 4" Colt Python and use either Hornady 125 gr Critical Defense in it or Buffalo Bore 125 gr High Velocity Jacketed Hollowpoint. I carry two speed loaders in addition to my chambered Hornady CD rounds. One speed loader has more Hornady's and the other has the Buffalo Bore loads. At 1700 fps (802 ft-lbs), I have the BB rounds for a serious situation where the measily Hornady's 1500 fps (624 ft-lbs) just won't do the trick. I'm hoping to never meet that guy personally though.
For my Kimber and Glock 45 ACP, I use either Hornady 230 gr +P TAP rounds or Powr-Ball 165 gr +P rounds. Both feed reliably and although I've never shot a living soft target with either, I'm pretty sure either would work just fine. Since I carry two spare mags, I have plenty of rounds/kinetic energy for most any two legged confrontation.
Find out what feeds best in your particular firearms, what has the most controlable recoil and muzzle flash for you, and what rounds shoot closest to point of aim for your particular pistols. Those are your best defensive rounds.
SE Texas Patriot Guard Rider, NRA Patron, TSRA Life Member
I use both the Corbon DPX 125 gr. .357 magnums rounds and the venerable Federal 125 gr. JSP in my Smith and Colt .357 magnums.
I use golden sabres in my 3" .357, when I hike I load it with 180gr buffalo bore rounds, they are mean and they are a handful!
Vermont does not issue Permit/Licenses to Carry a Concealed firearm. Vermont allows anyone
who can legally own a firearm to carry it concealed without a permit of any kind.
I have used the Federal Hi-Shok 125-grain full-pressure ammo in most of my 4" .357 sixguns, and my SP101s have often been loaded with the same, though now that I generally carry only the snubbier fiveguns, have started buying Winchester Silvertips, due to better recent availability, better POA/POI with the fixed sights, and a bit less recoil than the hotter 125s. I recently bought a 3-1/16" SP101, and have yet to decide on a load for it.
.45? There are so many good ones. I used 230-grain Hydra-Shok in my .45 duty and carry pistols from 1991 to 2002. When I last needed to replenish, I bought some 230-grain Golden Saber due to availability issues, but have not yet run it through my 1911 to verify function. I still have a very few Hydra-Shoks for the rare times I tote a 1911; I usually CC the same .40 SIGs I use at work.
I always avoid the newly-introduced and the exotic ammo. That which is long-proven, preferably by police agencies who have used it to shoot real live people, is most comforting to me.

This is a terrific all-in-one meal and an inventive use for salmon: Grace Parisi nestles the fillets in crunchy hunks of ciabatta bread tossed with tomatoes, capers and superthin slices of lemon, then bakes the dish until the salmon is just cooked.
- 8 1-inch-thick slices of ciabatta cut into large chunks (from a 12-ounce loaf)
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 pints grape tomatoes, halved
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons salted capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
- 1 lemon, halved lengthwise and very thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 pounds center-cut skinless salmon fillet cut into 2-inch chunks
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a large roasting pan, toss the ciabatta chunks with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Roast for about 5 minutes, until the bread is lightly toasted.
In a large bowl, toss the tomato halves with the garlic, capers, lemon, parsley, crushed red pepper and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir the tomatoes into the toasted bread. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to soften and break down.
Meanwhile, in the same bowl, toss the salmon with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Nestle the salmon into the bread and tomatoes, spooning some of the tomatoes on top. Roast for about 6 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked through. Serve right away.

Game Advisor Interview
Basic interview questions. They asked when I would be available to work and why I would want to work at Gamestop. The interview process was fairly quick. If you have experience interviewing nothing should be too much of a surprise.

I applied in-person. The process took a week. I interviewed at GameStop (Houston, TX) in November 2014.
it was simple, I was 30 minutes early (not a good idea). A lady interviewed me she was about 19 or 20 she asked what my favorite games and game consoles were and why. She asked what games I played. -How could I handle customers -Past experience -What I could offer

Game Advisor InterviewAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at GameStop (Rock Hill, SC) in November 2014.
I was asked to come back for an interview after turning my application into the manager in person. The interview itself was in a small room in the back of the store. Business Casual dress was acceptable anything more and i feel you would have been over dressed. They asked standard interview questions plus game specific questions. As long as you know that games have ratings and loosely what those ratings imply you will do fine.
Interview Questions

Game Advisor InterviewAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at GameStop (Fountain Valley, CA) in November 2014.
I was asked to come to the store for my first interview and was asked very generic questions. When I passed the first interview they scheduled a second interview which I later found out was a group interview. There were at least 15 other people applying for a position at GameStop. We were asked one question and each person had to answer that question one right after the other. The middle of the circle seemed to be the best place to be at because you got to hear enough other answers to get a better idea of how to word what you want to say and you didn't seem to have your answer stolen from you as was evident as when the people at the end of the circle had next to nothing to say or the same answers that their peers had said before them.

Game Advisor InterviewAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at GameStop in October 2014.
I walked into the store and asked the guy at the register (who it turns out was the manager) if they were hiring, he said they were. He asked me if I wanted to fill out the application in store and have a short interview in store since it was slow. After I filled out the application he sat down with me behind the counter and told me that it was basically gonna be a conversation like friends have more than an actual interview. He asked me a few basic questions, then he had one of the guys who worked there go outside and walk in as if he were a customer, and had me show how I would introduce myself to them and about our promotions. Hired right after.
Interview Questions
- Why do you wanna work here? Do you know what games are coming out in the next few months? What game systems do you have? Whats your favorite game? Whats your least favorite game? Whats 10% of 100? If a customer came in and was asking for reviews for a game you don't like? Answer Question
Game Advisor InterviewNo OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied in-person. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at GameStop (Atlanta, GA) in October 2014.
The interview process took about a month. I initially called and asked if they were hiring for the holiday season. The Assistant Manager told me they were and I should submit my application. So being persistent, I submitted both my resume along with my application the next day. The Store Manager said he would give me a call back in a week to set up an interview. 2 weeks later, after his week long vacation and inability to follow up, never called me back so I went up to the store to see what the deal was. I had to wait an hour just to talk to him and I found out they lost my application and I had to fill out another one (ugh). I did so and he told me to come in the next week for an interview. So the 3rd week, I came in 15 minutes earlier and the Store Manager told me he forgot about my interview. So I interviewed with the Assistant Manager and gave up on them immediately afterwards because of their incompetence and unprofessional.
Interview Questions
- Tell me about your past work experience? What does customer service mean to you? If you don't get a call next week then you didn't get the job. Answer Question
Game Advisor InterviewAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied in-person. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at GameStop in October 2014.
This is my first job. I applied and had a 1 on 1 interview during the summer. It was about 2 months later that I got a call for a group interview. It wasn't really an interview at all. Everyone got the job. The manager basically talked to us about what we'd be doing and what he expects from us. He was really cool. It was a group of 8 including myself. He told us about our training and when we'd find out about our schedules. So I guess if you make it to a group interview, you're pretty much in. One guy didn't even have an interview, he just turned in an application and got it.
Interview Questions
- (1:1 interview) mostly questions about your availability and school activities Answer Question
There was none. It's a little bit more than minimum wage so that's good.

I walked in dressed up in formal clothing and asked for an application for employment. I completed it on the spot and turned it in. A week or two later I returned and was hired on the spot.
Interview Questions
- What is the most difficult scenario you have encountered with a customer? Answer Question
Game Advisor InterviewAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied in-person. The process took a week. I interviewed at GameStop (Milwaukee, WI).
I walked in as I was interested in working for this particular company. I asked for a paper application and filled it out in store to show that I was very serious about working there. I received a call back a few days later for a 1:1 interview. I arrived for the interview in business casual attire. We discussed why did I want to work for the company and what kind of experience did I have as a gamer and in retail. After the interview I waited about a day or two in which I was told that I had gotten the job.
Interview Questions

Game Advisor InterviewAccepted OfferEasy Interview
I applied through other source. I interviewed at GameStop in August 2014.
For me, it was a group interview of 4. I was not a fan of this at all,but a gave me a chance to stick out from the group. Make sure you go as early as possible and talk a lot. This was a job fair that Gamestop has every year.
Interview Questions
- Why do you want to work at Gamestop. Dont say because I like games! Answer Question
- How did you handle an angry customer in the past. 1 Answer
No negotiating for me, there wasn't even a second interview because the manager needed somebody immediately.

Only about here and now for Federer
For now, all-time Slam King happy with the state of his game after first-round win
NEW YORK -- The career arc of any elite athlete is unpredictable. There isn't a foolproof formula to accurately predict how a fledgling talent will fare in three, five or even 10 years.
Until 2003, Roger Federer's tennis existence was, let's say, tenuous. A former Wimbledon junior champion, he was blessed with exquisite talent but underwhelming results. His forehand flowed through the court with grace and violence, and he moved with unmistakable ease. But his Slam results belied the beauty ...

Epic Deeds is creating a single player RPG for the web and smart phone devices.
The game has an isometric view and uses sprites. The character and monsters turn and slide, but do not animate. Combat is abstracted using a dice system. The genre is classic Tolkien/D&D medieval fantasy. The style is realistic - not gory, but not light and cutesy.
We are seeking a contractor to mock-up a combat sequence for the hero attacking a monster with a hit or miss result being determined by a dice roll. If no sound are included in the demo, then the demo should at least explain what sounds are envisioned to go along with the art. The mock-up does not need to be "finished", but just look good enough to adequately convey the concept.
The amount paid would be based on the format of the demo:
$200 for a detailed storyboard
$250 for a live demo using something like Flash, but without sound
$300 for a live demo using something like Flash, with sound effects

I've nwo read around a number of sites with articles about tiled isometric projections, specifically with regard to actor/sprite management and rendering.
It's definitely necessary now to do some design and make some design choices, which will of course then constrain and define the shape of this project.
Next uploads will be ramblings rather than code, once I persuade CVS to work how I want anyway :-)

John Wooden is an American icon. Since he announced his retirement thirty years ago, "Coach" remains one of our country's most popular and heroic figures. What John Wooden accomplished as basketball coach at UCLA will never be repeated--eighty-eight victories in a row, ten national championships--but what makes his legacy even more amazing is how he
did it: with honor, integrity and grace.

The result is an inspiring motivational biography about a great hero of basketball and one of the most amazing leaders in history. How to Be Like Coach Wooden is the next dynamic book in the How to Be Like "character biography" series, which focuses on drawing out important lessons from the lives of great men and women. In this book, readers will learn from Coach Wooden, a beacon of honesty, goodness and faith. Wooden cared about winning in basketball, but he cared more about winning in life.

... There is an Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, It's A Small World, Haunted Mansion, but the rides in Paris all had their own spin. It was definitely worth the day spending time at. We jumped in line to meet Timon and the Baboon, but unfortunately they left before we could see them because they had limited time (thats the French for you, right?).

Yakuza Diary: Doing Time in the Japanese Underworld
Atlantic Monthly Press, 1996 - 212 pagine
Japanese gangsters--the Yukuza--make up the biggest, richest, and most secretive organized crime syndicates in the world. The combined Yakuza is ten times larger than the American mafia, with profits that would rival any Fortune 500 company. Written in the tradition of Nicholas Pileggi's Wiseguy, Seymour's Yakuza Diary infiltrates the Yakuza, presenting the details of a world that, until now, has remained modern Japan's dirty little secret.

Dr. Bertoia is a fantastic GP. However a few of his saff are just plain rude! The heavy one that sits in the corner of the office is the worst and I think she is the office manager! Its such a shame such a great Doctor has such atrocious staff! I will be using other walk in clinics from now on.

Dr is okay but his receptionist is a horrendous fat lady who swears at patients in front of other people watching her cursing at her patients. Great shame to have such lady as a receptionist who should be the face of the clinic.

Dr. Bertoia is simply the BEST doctor in all of Victoria. He has been my GP for almost 25 years. His bedside manner is impeccable. His knowledge of medicine is outstanding and he is not a prescription pusher. If he has samples of a medication he tries to give you those so you don't need to pay at the pharmacy. He takes his time and talks with you to find out what is going on with you and never rushes your appointment. I will be very sad the day Dr. Bertoia retires. His staff is also wonderful, cheerful and punctual. I have only ever waited 5 minutes for an appointment maximum upon arrival and they know most of their regular clients by name which is a nice touch. I would recommend Dr. Bertoia to anyone looking for the best family doctor ever.

Dr. Bertoia is amazing. He makes himself available when you need him. I find there is never a long wait to get an appointment and when you see him he is kind and understanding. He always takes his time during the appointment and you never feel rushed. I am so happy to have him as a G.P. After 15 + years I have only good things to say about him :)

Dr. Bertoia is truly an amazing Dr. He is ALWAYS on time,if not early for an appointment. He makes you feel very comfortable regardless of the situation. I love the fact that he does not freely recommend anti-biotics. He is EXTREMELY knowledgable and takes the time to listen to your concerns and never rushes you out the door. My entire family and extended family see Dr. Bertoia for a good reason....he is amazing! His staff are also wonderful!

Dr. B. has been our family doctor since our other doctor retired over 12 years ago. My son had been ill since he was six, had seen many doctors and specialists, but no one knew what he had. After listening to his symptoms and history, he knew what it was and had him tested to make sure. Sure enough, the diagnosis was correct, and my son could finally get much needed treatment. 18 years of illness, many specialists, and Dr.B, "just knew" what it was. He is an answer to this mother's prayers.

The Hard Rock San Diego is AWESOME!Posted Oct 7, 2015
Pros: VIP check-in, roof top bar with pool and fire pit area and the rooms!
Location: The Gaslamp has a lot to offer. You will have a shortage of things to do or places to eat.
I cannot express how great this hotel is. All of the staff members I have encountered during my week long stay were super nice.

Great new hip stop to stay in San DiegoPosted Oct 7, 2015
Pros: Everything
Cons: Valet Service seems to be understaffed at peak times.
Location: The hotel is located right in the heart of San Diego adjacent to the Convention Center, Seaport Village and the Gaslamp District.
Upon arriving at Valet, the attendant immediately assisted us professionally and courteously. Checked in at the VIP Check in Lounge. The Attendant was not only professional but very personable and related to us. The staff seems to be encouraged to be themselves to make their guests comfortable. Upon arriving at the room after a complimentary cocktail in the VIP Reception Lounge, The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The Check in attendant had some great music playing in the room as we arrived. The mini bar and room is stocked with everything to make your stay comfortable and in the event you need anything, you can text the staff with any request! The mood of all the staff is relaxed, professional and hip!

Best location for Convention CenterPosted Oct 6, 2015
Pros: Location, facilities and service were excellent.
Cons: nothing comes to mind.
Location: Convenient location for the gaslamp district, trolleys, tons of shops, restaurants, Petco Park, etc.
The quick walk from the Convention Center was a key factor in my appreciation of this hotel. I loved that it was not too big, but provided all of the conveniences you would expect in a four star hotel. The service, room appointments and the facilities (gym, pool, spa, restaurants) within the hotel were all excellent. I also appreciated the private room that enabled me to print my airline boarding pass the night before my departure.

Good location, service needs to be improvedPosted Oct 5, 2015
Pros: Location. The spa was great. I had services with Vanessa for a massage and April for a facial. They were amazing and the absolute best!!
The location was great and most of the service was good. Great location for a conference. However, my first room AC wasn't working. I had an engineer out to fix it and he said he fixed it but didn't. I called again for an engineer and waited and one never came. When I returned to my room and an engineer still had not fixed it, I called service again and they moved me to a new room. No apology, no upgrade, not even a consideration that I had been unpacked and several calls. Then the next day in the morning the TV wasn't working with local channels to watch the news, etc. No apology again. It should also be known to conference guests that the pool is a party zone on a Saturday. That was the first time I was able to use the pool and there was no where to relax. This was not a relaxing stay. I also asked for my receipt to be split in two for two days to be reimbursed for work and two for personal pay. I understand I booked on Expedia but a receipt should still be provided for guests. Every other hotel I have stayed at has been able to produce a receipt of my stay. This was unacceptable to me and was again not provided with any support. To be reimbursed I need a receipt from the hotel, otherwise I could have just booked and canceled on expedia and not stayed. This will cause me major issues to get reimbursed from my work. Some understanding could have been given in regards to this. It should not be difficult to provide a document of rate of pay

Location: The Hard Rock is in Gaslamp and is very close to everything.
The Hard Rock is a wonderful hotel I have stayed there numerous times and I always receive great service and my room is always very nice.

Bizarre for the sake of itPosted Sep 30, 2015
For some the hotel will be ultra cool. For me it was silly loud and garish. The room was a large suite with a balcony so quite nice in that regard. The bathroom in the middle was plain idiotic. Light switches everywhere had no idea of light control. Designed poorly. Generally the area around the hotel is cool but be prepared for loud unruly screaming until the wee hours and that was on a Monday. .

Fun place to stayPosted Sep 27, 2015
Pros: I liked the location, and the conference I was in was in the hotel, so it was handy.
Cons: food at Maryjane's, TV system, bed comfort, reduce the price.
Location: Lots of great food and shopping, LOVED running the boardwalk ea morning!
Proximity to boardwalk and Gaslamp area excellent. Front desk service was absolutely great! The WiFi was included and strong enough to do the work I needed to get done and worked throughout the hotel easily. That said, it's an expensive place to stay, given some of the things that weren't up to standard. **I had been in the room a few minutes when a staff came in to count the cash bar items. She told me she probably wouldn't charge me for the missing items....as if I was a suspect in a crime? I hadn't touched any of that crap. Next time do your inventory BEFORE you rent out the room again and charge the previous tenants. **The TV system is SO slow to go to channels that it was too annoying to watch. **The restaurant in the hotel (maryjane's) was NOT good.... I had a sandwich for lunch and the bread was so over toasted I could hardly chew it. It was on the menu under 'burgers', but contained no beef patty? I mentioned this to the waiter and only got a mild shoulder shrug. **The beds were ...ok.... but not super comfortable. **A wedding was going on Friday night below my room, and the music was cranked. ok...fine, I get it. the front desk said it would be quiet at 11. Yah... try 11:45. I had to be up at 6:45am so I wasn't thrilled about that. Overall ok, but I have definitely stayed at far, far better hotels for way less money.

This is the closest Food store to Kiawah Island. It's like a upscale market. I wish they had more fresh seafood since it right at the shore but you do have local venders selling that. The employees are hit and miss, some are out going and say hi as others don't know your there. Still I would not drive more to get to any other market.
Oh, the AC works great!!! Perfect to stop onto on a hot July day!

Re Ethiopians in Petach Tikva: There is a huge difference between state-sponsored discrimination and some local racists. A few nutty parents are racicts - so what? Israelis are allowed to make mistakes. We do not know what is their country of origin, so no need dividing them by Ashkenazi -Sepharadi.

Exotic bullet points
I am looking for a way to create some rather "exotic" bullet points, i need to add a letter in front of the number. So something like

(USF)2. Returns have almost no serial correlaton
Is this posssible ?

Sure, this is possible. It's not hard if you use the enumitem package.

Overpriced for what is essentially a travelodge style room
Room was just all kinds of average.
clean, but incredibly bland. Not worth £102 a night by any bizarre stretch of the imagination. Dark, drab, pretty dreary room with a pub style carpet. If I could some up this experience in one word it would be: Grey.

It was fine for a city centre break, clean, comfortable and central
Just excellent,nothing more to say, recommend to everyone.
Top city break
So much to do in Manchester and this is the perfect base - quiet, calm, comfortable and top service
Good hotel
Really good hotel, did the job.
It was OK
You get what you pay for - was a reasonable price and reasonably central location, but with no real luxury.
No bath was a bit disappointing. There was an extractor fan in the bathroom that couldn't be turned off and our room was right beside a cleaner's closet so you could hear a lot of opening and shutting of doors quite early in the morning. If you are a light sleeper I would maybe look elsewhere. However if you are going to spend minimal time in the room it's fine - probably best for stag/hen nights.

Room Size
The room was tiny and you could not open the bathroom door fully as it hit the bed.
The TV was in a an alcove so was far away. The restaurant was nt open so only a limited bar snack menu was present, we could have had a more central loaction and better facilities for less money.

Excellent hotel in every way and very convenient for Broadwater Hall and NCP car park.
Good base for business
I stayed for one night at this hotel in the course of business.
Check in on arrival was friendly and efficient, and I was advised that the company credit card had been processed in respect of my stay. I was directed to a room on the first floor over looking the main road and railway station. My first thought was that the room would be noisy - but I did not encounter any difficulty. The room was of a standard expected of a 3 star hotel: bathroom toiletries, tea and coffee facilities, TV etc. The wi-fi was probably the best I have ever encountered at a hotel. I chose to take room service and order pizza. Whilst this was delivered quickly and in a friendly manner - the quality was unfortunately poor and could be compared to a supermarket value range. That said - breakfast the following morning was excellent. My only difficulty was at check out when I was advised that the company credit card had not been processed (conflicting with the advice given on check in) and subsequently had to pay using my own credit card.
Generally the hotel is in a convenient location for Picadilly Station, the city centre and conference belt.

iPod accessory makers hedging their bets?
We've been seeing small clues for a while, but now it's clear that iPod accessory makers are in the midst of developing a trend: non-iPod product diversification. Today's announcement that JBL will be jointly developing accessories for Motorola's music devices brings to a total of five the number of major companies that have publicly started to allocate resources to non-iPod audio devices in recent months, following electronics and case makers such as Altec Lansing (Palm, XM), Belkin (Creative, Dell, iRiver, Sony, XM), DLO (Creative, Samsung), and Speck Products (Motorola, Palm, RIM). These companies' non-iPod products have ranged from unique XM Satellite Radio speaker systems, such as Belkin's $99 boombox-like XM Audio System and Altec's inMotion iMX2, to cases and generic electronic parts such as FM transmitters and chargers. Speck's recent See-Thru case set for Motorola's RAZR ($30, below) is the coolest RAZR case we've yet seen, and only one sign that these companies are ready to use the design techniques and skills they honed during iPod accessory development to help non-iPod devices, as well.
Why would companies bother with non-iPod products? From what we've heard in whispers here and there over the last twelve months, there are two reasons: costs and fear. A number of developers have been forced to raise prices because of Apple's Made For iPod royalty program, which apparently has had considerably greater than expected impacts on both wholesale and retail costs for iPod accessories. Many companies are also citing pressure from market-dominating retailers, including (but not just) Best Buy, to raise their iPod accessory prices markedly above what the companies believe is appropriate. When sales of the products underperform their potential volumes, the retailers are content with their extra per-unit profits, but the developers still fall short on volume, and thus lose out on both market penetration and growth of their brand names. So the developers are looking to release non-iPod accessories they can sell at more reasonable prices, without the pressures of royalties and retailer pressure.
Fear is a mostly separate issue. Many accessory makers were shocked by the September 2005 release of iPod nano, lacking enough lead time to cancel or reduce shipments of products they'd designed for the iPod mini. The subsequent October release of the fifth-generation iPod didn't help matters, throwing literally everyone into confusion over which prior accessories were and were not compatible. Many companies had to ditch, retool, or restart entirely on iPod accessories they'd been developing for months, and they're not so sure that this won't happen again - or that Apple isn't planning to release its own competing products, further undercutting their development work. In response, many companies are looking for new partners who are willing to forecast and guarantee availability of their future products, making season-to-season sales more predictable, if not quite as lucrative.
From where we stand, there are many ways to read these developments - 'natural,' 'great,' and 'disappointing,' to name just a few - but as iPod fans, we're inclined to go more with 'disappointing' because of what we saw, or rather what we failed to see, at both Macworld and CES this month. JBL's $299 On Time - winner of one of our Best of Show awards - was the only truly interesting iPod speaker system we saw at both shows put together, which was striking because there were no fewer than 50 new iPod speakers on display across many new and old vendors. It was also about $100 more expensive than most people expected, a shock given the company's history of developing high-value audio components, and one the company's representatives would not elaborate on when asked. Is this the future of iPod accessories - good stuff that's too expensive for average people, and junk at the bottom of the pond? We certainly hope not, but we're becoming increasingly concerned.
Related Stories
Don't forget, that there's increasing competition in iPod accessories, and not everyone can start from scratch and become DLO or Extreme, so there may be easy pickings by signing an exclusive deal with some other ubiquitous gagdet like a RAZR.

Very welcoming..and nothing was too much trouble! Don't hesitate to book. The owner and staff here will take great care of you from the booking process, airport arrivals, hospitality, days out and transfers back to the airport.
Honestly, just book it now!! My boyfriend and I stayed for a few days and it was absolutely beautiful. It's a short walk in to the Medina from the edge. A completely unexpected paradise just off a main street, very close to all the sites of the Medina! The staff were just so so lovely, so friendly, kind and accommodating, telling you all the good things to do and see and continuously plying you with mint tea (with loads of sugar!!). Breakfast was delicious and vast!! The rooms were excellent and covered in rose petals on arrival, which was just so beautiful. There are plenty of excellent places to eat near by and the main square is only a 10 minute walk away. We would thoroughly recommend and couldn't have had a nicer stay. Thank you for your hospitality!!
It's been a really pleasant trip from the start! Good communication prior to arrival and everything that followed was well taken care of by Emanuela & Paolo & their staff. The raid is within walking distance to the souks and it's relatively easy to get to with good amenities nearby.Jardin Anjar is unpretentiously beautiful - every piece of furniture and the small details. Waking up to the relaxing music played in the riad was one of the greatest things! They want you to feel at home and you just do as soon as you step into the riad. Love this place!Breakfast was yummy - both food and drinks. The new year's eve feast prepared by the amazing Lina and the ladies at the riad - every dish was VERY YUMMY to say the least!! Emanuela & Paolo are great hosts, everyone had fun and it was a great night! Many Thanks to Emanuela & Paolo... All their staff are very personable and welcoming, I wish them all the best... They're really nice people doing such a great job Mashallah :)
If you are looking at this Riad or Riad Anjar, just book! Everything that was said before is true. Wonderful building and staff for a holiday like a fairy tale from 1001 nights. Emanuela and Paolo and their staff have the philosophy this wonderful Riad should feel like your home and do everything to make you enjoy your holiday. Nice breakfast with variety, and every day fresh fruit and yoghurt. We ate in one evening and got a wonderful Tangia (not a tajine), something you will usually not get in the restaurants as it takes very long to prepare. Perfect location, a little north from the central square so within walking distance from all (maps on tripadvisor, booking.com and google are incorrect for the Medina) nice things to do. Walking to the Jardin Majorelle is 10-15 minutes (this is the furthest north you will go) and to the Royal gardens (furthest south) is also 10-15 minutes. Everything else within the Medina is 5 minutes away, top restaurant Maison MK even less than 1 minute. Disadvantages(Riad Anjar) as mentioned before are minor: Hard to regulate shower temperature and no insulation from noise as the doors to your room are part of a frame that is placed 5cm (2 inches) in front of the wall, leaving a wide gap. Very nice price compared to what is offered. So no need to look at the other 400 Riads!
We stayed in this Riad last month and it was a very nice experience.First time for us in Marrakech. The city is dazzling and with loads of tourists. We never felt unsafe.The Riad is beautifully located in che center of the Medina. We were greeted at the airport and taken directly to the Riad, which was a delight to us.Staff is delicious and always ready to help.
I honestly cannot recommend this Riad enough, from picking me up from the airport, through to dropping me off at the end of my trip, everything was made perfect by Emanuela and Paolo and their staff, which feel more like a family to which you are accepted with open arms. The rooms are exactly as described below and on their website, what you do not get a sense of is just how accommodating the owners are, i honestly felt like no matter what my question or request, anyone would have gone above and beyond to meet my needs. For example, at around 12 am on my second day into a four day trip, i decided i would like a trip into the atlas mountains, this was arranged almost instantly for a price that was extremely competitive whilst still providing an amazing experience The owners do have another Riad less that five mins walk away, which seems to be the main Riad of the two however, that does not detract from the beauty of Riad Dar Zahia or the experience of the stay. Although the Riad is tucked away down a little maze of alleyways, once you are shown how to get in and out, its absolutely fine. it is well light at night which does take away the imposing feeling of the rather tall buildings, anyone i passed in this alleyway maze greeted me with a smile and a good morning/afternoon/evening. It is worth noting that the other Riad although still tucked away, would be easier to find if not using the transfer service, which i personally suggest either way as it makes the whole experience far easier.I will literally never stay anywhere else if i return to Morocco, the location of the Riad means you a no more than a 2min walk away from one of the many starts of the other maze that is the souks.Thank you both for an amazing stay and i hope that all the other readers take you up on the amazing experience you offer.
I chose the Riad dar Zahia because of the glowing comments of others and I was not disappointed in any way. I cannot fault the hospitality, care and attention that was lavished on us by Paolo, Emanuela and their wonderful staff. Nothing was too much trouble and we were given advice on where to eat and where to go. Paolo went with us to the foothills of the Atlas Mountains and acted as our guide which was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed a cooking lesson making a tagine and our own bread, etc. The Riad is absolutely splendid, so beautiful and comfortable where one is surrounded by beauty. The situation was perfect, being in the centre of the Medina and we were met the Airport and transported to our Riad. Paolo and Emanuela own another beautiful Riad about 5 minutes walk away where one is also welcome to come and go. We had our cooking lesson in this Riad, which has a small pool, and we also had some meals which were very good.

The guys over at CAVE magazine got the opportunity to sit down with WWE star The Miz to discuss some of his WWE views as well as his role in the newly released film "The Marine 3: Homefront". You can read the entire interview HERE.
Here are a few excerpts:
On how he deals with the detractors on his wrestling and film career:
I don't care how good a movie is, how a good of a WWE superstar you are, or how good you are on the mic – you're always going to have critics and haters. That's why my t-shirt says Haters Love Me.
Whether it's on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, or to your face – you're always going to deal with those people. But it's your job to rise above them, have thick skin and let it bounce off of you. Or, let it motivate you.
The haters have always motivated me. Someone told me I couldn't be on the Real World. I said "I'm going to do it". People told me I wasn't big enough to be a WWE superstar. I went and did it. Now, when people say the same thing about movies, I'm going to go out and do it. I always give my best, and I can truly say that I am proud of Marine 3: Homefront. I really worked hard for it.
On balancing working on films and his wrestling career:
The WWE gave me a month off to film. But that was just filming, notpreparing for the role.So, to prepare myself for it, I read the script and said "okay, this guy is an action hero – who are some great action heroes I can take attributes from and combine to make Jake Carter?".I looked at old school action heroes like Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood. I watched The Good, the Bad, and the Uglyand was like "man, Clint Eastwood doesn't really do much in a movie". It's just his aura, he is a bad-ass. And I said "I want to take that".
On who his MizTV dream guest would be:
I've had great guests on there. I've had Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, CM Punk, John Cena, Zeb Colter, Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio. I've had everyone who's anyone, except for The Rock. I'd like to have him on MizTV. I think it could be something magical and electric.
