Are communicators and tricorders anachronistic now?

Re: Are communicators and tricorders anachronistic now?
Who is to say that a TOS-era communicator isn't, in a sense, a 23rd-century talkie? Keep in mind that "non-smart" cell phones are still quite common, as are two-way radios. (Not everyone wants to spend big bucks to get an iPhone of Galaxy S that they have no use for; and there are still plenty of areas where no cell phone will work, regardless of cost, brand-name, feature set or color).
A Federation Starfleet-issue communicator isn't really the equivalent of a "smartphone" anyway. Cellular phones rely on cell towers and a terrestrial communication grid to operate. Communicators are built to work reliably far from home, on the frontier, where there are presumably no network towers to "call home".
Look at it this way: if smartphone technology were the answer, don't you think today's soldiers on the battlefield would simply trade in their radios for smartphones? Obviously they won't. That's because battlefield situations tend to be in places far removed from the comforts (and technological networks) of civilization.
The same could be said of communicators. They aren't phones. They're walkie-talkies, built to be easy-to-use, easy-to-maintain, and easy-to-repair/repurpose in the field. How many smartphones could be modified to emit sonic vibrations to cause a landslide? ("Friday's Child")
The TOS-era tricoder would be a tougher one to justify. It's easy to see a heavily-modified iPad Mini as a tricorder. (Presumably, the Starfleet-issue tricorder is more powerful than any modern mobile device, with the ability to scan and analyze various forms of matter and energy ("Obsession"), as well as to detect when a starship is missing from orbit. ("That Which Survives").
Actually, TOS really doesn't bother me that much, tricorders aside. TOS tended to rely on voice-recognition-techology, hooded viewers, blinking coded lights and sound effects rather heavily.
TNG built on this, but began making other assumptions that look rather odd. Picard's rather bulky desktop display is an example of what people thought computers should look like before laptops ever hit the mass market. And in "Contagion", there was a major plot point that the Enterprise-D's computer system was actually a mainframe. While mainframes have not completely faded away, that centralized model of computing has obviously been overtaken by networked microcomputers ("PCs"). Where would that lead in a few centuries? Who knows?
One great thing about TNG was the re-invention of the "communicator" as a badge with only a tap-and-voice-command interface. Nothing seen before or sense could beat that. (TNG's fold-up tricoder, on the other hand,
obviously their attempt at an iPad Mini!)
So both TOS and TNG had their triumphs and their foibles. You can point and laugh if you like, but JJ Trek doesn't seem to have done anything revolutionary to change that.
If you want to talk about re-imagining or re-invention, look at the TOS bridge or other control sets. Look at all those control panels with all those knobs and switchgear. Now imagine fewer buttons and more liberal use of iPad-like touchscreen surfaces like TNG. That would make sense. Most of the basic premise of TOS and TNG still looks great today. The "point and laugh at" needs for change might be significant, but may not be the items you suggest.
"The way that you wander is the way that you choose. / The day that you tarry is the day that you lose. / Sunshine or thunder, a man will always wonder / Where the fair wind blows ..."

The Dodgers defeated the Giants on the field in Thursday night's season-opener, but apparently that wasn't enough for a pair of Dodgers fans.
LAPD is currently searching for two men who severely beat three men wearing Giants clothes following the game. The assailants were reportedly wearing Dodgers gear and followed the three Giants fans after the game. The attack, which was said to be unprovoked, occurred 8:30 p.m. PT in the parking lot. As the two were kicking and punching the victims, they were also reportedly yelling expletives about the Giants. One man is critically injured.
"The man suffered a serious head injury during the assault after the game,'' said Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Sanford Rosenberg. (LA Times ).
Police are actually asking for the help of what they believe was a large group of witnesses to the beatings. Police Detective Larry Burcher said there was "nothing of great value" found on stadium security cameras and has asked anyone who recorded the incident on a cell phone or video camera to come forward with the evidence.
"We're very confident there were witnesses, it happened immediately following the game when everybody was coming out," Burcher said.
The Dodgers have issued a statement on the situation:
"It is extremely unfortunate that this incident took place on what was otherwise a great day at Dodgers Stadium for tens of thousands of fans. We're committed to having the most fan and family friendly environment in baseball and will continue to make that a top priority."
Let's hope the perpetrators of this sad and cowardly act are brought to justice. There's no place for this junk in being a fan of professional sports -- which are supposed to be fun.

I would still encourage you to go (it is literally build into a cliffside, you start at the upper deck and actually go down into the stadium bowl), but if you do pay for some good seats if you are able. The cheap seats are where the riff raff goes. Inside the stadium the security is very responsive, outside, not so much. I went to maybe 10-15 games out there, and after I didn't wear my teams colors (just that once), no issues at all.

Security at Dodger staium is horrendous. I went with my brother who was wearing Angel gear. I WAS a Dodger fan. Angels went up big. 7th, 8th inning when the beers started hitting the system thugs came out of the woodwork talking smack and throwing peanuts, plastic beer cups, pretty much everything they could get there hands on....no joke.
Two ushers right on the aisle next to us didnt do shit......they were probably scared for their life too. Anyways we left.
Needless to say, that was the last time I put on a Dodger jersey. Been to 6-7 ballparks and never seen anything like that shithole. Now I go to Rockies games in peace.

Well put. Fights are not like they are in Hollywood and they hurt. Those who video tape them have not been in them.
After reading the posts from those who have been there in this thread, it is just not a safe place. Baseball is a family sport and you should be able to attend a baseball game without feeling threatened, no matter what team you are rooting for.
As a bouncer, you know that you had to remove people who threatened the safey of themselves and others. The Dodgers should have security or PD on site. Here is a thought, relocate the home games to a safer place.
I have remove Chavez Ravine from my list of ballparks to see. I have seen so many and am sad I will not get to see this one.

The problem is, they don't line up 1 by 1. They line up 200 to 1. I used to be a bouncer at a club. There were 2 of us. Club would hold 150 people. Biggest fight we broke up involved about 15 people. We had the advantage in that we'd come up from behind, collar them, throw them out 1 by 1. Took about 5-10 minutes. Lot of damage in that time. I'm just saying, I go to the game to enjoy baseball, not to prove who can take the most punches or test fighting skills. I go to relax. Most people go to games to relax. If you want to relax at Dodger stadium and are not cheering for the Dodgers, my advice is to not wear opposing colors. I'm sure the Giants fans felt nothing would happen either, or if they did, that they were tough enough. Didn't work out so well. Just the world we live in, gotta be smart about things.

Bunch of LOSERS...Id line them all up 1 by 1 and give them a good old fashion louisville beatdown and if lucky they might get the red pine colour, these people arent human, their PUNKS who think they run the stadiums because of a little logo or colour. Grow up you fucking idiots, and cheer for your team or any team and enjoy the game, and if you cant handle that, then stay the fuck home...

A few things
1. Dodger Stadium is a beautiful place to watch a game. No stadium like it. Don't get the Dodger dogs either, get the Louisiana Red Hots.
2. To all those who talk about all the witnesses being cowards, Chavez Ravine is in the middle of serious gang territory. No tailgating rules are there for a reason. Inevitably, you will get gang bangers at the games. They do carry weapons. Most guns hold at least 6 bullets or more, so the outnumbering really doesn't mean much. Security is actually good if you are inside the stadium.
3. I wore Brewers stuff there once. You know, the team that made the playoffs once in the past 25 years. Not a real rivalry there. Got harassed a bit, but just shrugged it off. I have some good size so that probably kept things from escalating.
4 (Bolded to maximize fun if you go to a Dodger game). If you go to a game at Dodger Stadium, my advice is do not wear your teams colors unless you are a Dodger fan. Yes, it's wrong, you should be able to wear whatever you want, but in reality, you have nothing to prove. Enjoy the game incognito, get your Louisana Red Hot, go home in one piece, and enjoy watching your team again down the road somewhere more fan friendly. I never had those problems going to games at Petco or Anaheim, strictly a Dodger thing.
Hope the Giants fans get better.

The statement by the Dodgers is just ludicous. "Unfortunate" that someone is in critical condition? "Fan and family friendly," but no security cameras or actual security in the parking lot for a major rivalry, and Opening Day? Wow, I hope there is a lawsuit, cause it seems the only way these teams will fork over any money to actually make games family friendly is when it affects their bank account. Having said that -- the movie Cop Out was terrible, but I say the 2 punks that did this get something similar to what happened in this movie - i.e., tied to a chair in a batting cage and let some of the players have batting practice. This is just nuts. WTF people. Can we actuallly just go and have fun anymore without some jacka#$es doing crap like this?

Current Events
They hate us for our freedom
A post from Dan Amira on New York magazine's blog about Delaware's Republican Senatorial no-hoper, Christine O'Donnell, quotes from a transcript of a, uh, "debate" over evolution between the dotty, anti-masturbation church lady and an evolutionary biologist. The Tea party favorite, who has been accused of living off campaign donations by her former campaign manager, really tells him, doesn't she?
CHRISTINE O'DONNELL: Well, creationism, in essence, is believing that the world began as the Bible in Genesis says, that God created the Earth in six days, six 24-hour periods. And there is just as much, if not more, evidence supporting that.
No evidnece at all, Christine. Those dinosaur fossils were put here by God just to fuck with people, right?
And here's what she said about not lying to Nazis if they wanted to know where the Jews were hiding on a Politically Incorrect appearance in the late 90s:
CHRISTINE O'DONNELL: A lie, whether it be a lie or an exaggeration, is disrespect to whoever you're exaggerating or lying to, because it's not respecting reality.
BILL MAHER: Quite the opposite, it can be respect.
EDDIE IZZARD: What if someone comes to you in the middle of the Second World War and says, 'do you have any Jewish people in your house?' and you do have them. That would be a lie. That would be disrespectful to Hitler.
CHRISTINE O'DONNELL: I believe if I were in that situation, God would provide a way to do the right thing righteously. I believe that!
And for a little perspective, here's Eddie Izzard, her fellow guest on Politically Incorrect, on Creationists, dinosaurs and Jesus:

An Emotional Farewell for USS North Carolina
Story Number: NNS140624-33Release Date: 6/24/2014 11:38:00 PM
By Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Steven Khor
PEARL HARBOR (NNS) -- The only commanding officer to lead the Virginia-class fast attack submarine USS North Carolina (SSN 777) on its Western Pacific deployments bid farewell to his crew at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, June 24.
Cmdr. Richard Rhinehart relinquished command to Cmdr. Gary Montalvo, USS North Carolina's newest skipper.
Rhinehart was emotional as he addressed his Sailors for the last time as their commander. He noted how proud he was to have had the opportunity to command North Carolina and to work with its Sailors.
"What makes this job so amazing are the people," said Rhinehart. "Each and every one of you have a shared heritage; not just being fellow brothers of the fin, but of being shipmates on the North Carolina."
In command for more than three years, Rhinehart took his submarine and crew on two lengthy Western Pacific deployments, and numerous shorter underway periods. "Together, we took the finest ship of the Pacific Fleet to sea!" he said.
"We fought to keep the boat at sea, operationally proficient and ready to execute any and all tasking," said Rhinehart. "I couldn't be more grateful for the sacrifices you made, or more proud of what you accomplished."
The ceremony's guest speaker, Rear Adm. Phillip Sawyer, commander of the Pacific Fleet's submarine force, praised Rhinehart for a job well done, having taken the submarine on every Western Pacific deployment the submarine has made.
"Rich, you and your team have had across-the-board success," said Sawyer. "These are successes for the submarine force, the U.S. Navy, and for our nation."
"You can be justifiably proud of what you've accomplished," Sawyer said. "Congratulations on a highly successful tour."
Sawyer also spoke to the assembled crew and guests about the Chief of Naval Operations' three guiding tenets: "Warfighting First, Operate Forward, and Be Ready." Sawyer added that North Carolina exemplified these tenets, while playing an important role in achieving national objectives.
During the ceremony, Rhinehart was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for his successes commanding North Carolina from April 2011 to June 2014.
As Montalvo assumed command of North Carolina, he thanked Rhinehart for turning over a great ship and a highly enthusiastic crew.
"It is a time like this that reminds me that the strength of the North Carolina is more than just technology and design," said Montalvo, referring to the importance of the crew. "I look forward to being a part of the North Carolina Tar Heel team for the next few years."
Commissioned May 2008, North Carolina is the fourth U.S. Navy ship to carry the name North Carolina. The Virginia-class boat was built by General Dynamics Electric Boat Division in Groton, Conn., and Newport News Shipbuilding in Newport News, Va., and joined the fleet in December 2006.
The state-of-the-art submarine is capable of supporting a multitude of missions, including anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface ship warfare, strike, naval special warfare involving special operations forces, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.

The really interesting site Atlas Obscura has an article this week on Alice Springs, a town of about 28,000 that is smack in the middle of Australia. Americans may have heard of it because there is a U.S./Australian satellite tracking station nearby; about 2,000 of the town's residents are U.S. citizens, in fact.
Or you may know Alice Springs as the place where more people are stabbed in the thigh than in any other place in the world. I guess it all depends what you read.
Around the turn of the century (the 20th), Dr. Abraham Jacob moved to Alice Springs and noticed something odd: people were getting stabbed a lot. These stabbings were almost never fatal, but they happened virtually every day. Statistically, of course, there will be some stabbings in any relatively large community. (Banjo attacks are much less common, but again it's all about the statistics.) But to Dr. Jacob the stabbing rate in Alice Springs seemed very high. So he started to keep track.
To give you a basis for comparison, according to the CDC (if I'm running the numbers correctly), there were about 110,000 non-fatal stabbings in the U.S. during 2001. (That's limited to those between 15 and 44 years of age, but those are the years when people are most interested in stabbing, it appears.) That's a rate of about 36 per 100,000 population per year. The article says the rate in London is about 47 per 100,000, which in a city of over 8 million would work out to just under 4,000 per year.
Dr. Jacob counted 1,550 stabbings in Alice Springs during the next seven years, an average of 221 per year. The good news: that's way less than London! The bad news: there were only 25,000 people in Alice Springs at the time. The article says the stabbing rate was 390 per 100,000—the numbers above work out to 880, but I think many of the stabbees did not live in the city proper, which would bring the rate down. Even at 390, though, this was "by far the highest reported incidence of stab injuries in the world." Also strange: about half of the victims were female, though everywhere else it's almost always young men stabbing each other. And only one percent of the wounds were in the abdomen, which is ordinarily the most common target. Forty percent of these people had been stabbed in the thigh.
WTF? asked Dr. Jacob, scientifically.
The answer turned out to be that this was, and is, a feature of the traditional legal system among the Aboriginal population. Wikipedia says that Aboriginal people make up 20-30 percent of the population in the area. (It also says this: "The most common non-English languages spoken in Alice Springs are Arrernte, Warlpiri, Luritja, Pitjantjatjara, and Italian.") But almost all the victims (99%) were Aboriginal people.
As Atlas Obscura explained, most of the stabbings were what's known as "payback":
Payback is a form of corporal, and sometimes capital, punishment administered by tribal elders.... [It] consists of the wrongdoer being stabbed in the thigh with a spear. The exact positioning of the wound depends on the crime. A stab in the lateral thigh punishes but does not cripple. A blow to the posterior thigh can permanently disable, while a spear applied to the medial thigh often punctures the femoral artery and kills....
Although it might seem like a form of vendetta, payback is a traditional form of conflict resolution, not escalation. It aims to restore peace to the community and act as a healing process and it is treated with the utmost seriousness by the felonious and the faithful alike.... [I]f an Aboriginal man is arrested for a crime by the Australian police he will often bail himself out in order to return home and receive payback. If he does not accept it his family will be ostracized and he will never be allowed to return home again.
Sometimes they will also beat him with a boomerang, "[b]ut what is unchangeable in every payback ritual is the thigh-spearing."
The government is said to disapprove of such practices (it hasn't killed any prisoners since 1967), and "seeks to replace them with court-mandated mediation." I don't know—going from formal stabbings to mediation seems like kind of a big jump. But maybe it'll catch on.

Jadakiss' second album is hardly the bad omen its title suggests.
After selling more than 245,000 copies last week, Kiss of Death will debut atop the next Billboard 200 albums chart, according to SoundScan figures released Wednesday (June 30). The singles "Why," featuring Anthony Hamilton, and "Time's Up," featuring Nate Dogg, helped the LOX leader best his previous first-week mark set by 2001's Kiss Tha Game Goodbye. That album placed at #5 and sold more than 203,000 copies during its first week in stores.
It's been three weeks since Usher last held the #1 slot, but Mr. Entertainment hasn't gone far. While giving the Beastie Boys and Velvet Revolver a chance to rule the roost on the last two charts, Usher's Confessions only slipped to #2, where it remains after selling more than 149,000 copies last week.
The success of her single, "Leave (Get Out)," suggests that JoJo is here to stay. The teen-pop singer's self-titled debut sold more than 94,000 copies for a #4 placement.
As "Spider-Man 2″ gears up to rake in millions of dollars, the soundtrack is making a pretty penny on its own. With a pair of singles providing the thrust — Dashboard Confessional's "Vindicated" and Train's "Ordinary" — the decidedly rocking soundtrack lands at #7 with more than 82,000 copies sold.
Wilco's fifth album, A Ghost Is Born, trails the superhero-inspired soundtrack by a little more than 1,000 copies, though its #8 debut can't be attributed to the prominence of a hit single or video. With a growing, dedicated fanbase and a sea of praising press, Ghost trumped the first-week sales of its predecessor, 2002's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, by more than 26,000 copies and five chart slots.
The Beastie Boys' former chart champ To the 5 Boroughs falls two to #3 after selling more than 142,000 copies in its second week on shelves. The rap trio's sixth album has broken the half-million mark in total sales.
The top 10 is rounded out by Prince's Musicology, moving up one spot to #5 on sales of 92,000 copies to break the 1 million mark; Gretchen Wilson's Here for the Party falling two spots to #6 (86,000 copies sold); Velvet Revolver's Contraband plummeting six to #9 (78,000); and Avril Lavigne's Under My Skin sliding five to #10 (75,000).
Switchfoot's The Beautiful Letdown makes a huge stride thanks to the hit single "Dare You to Move" and a re-release that includes bonus tracks and a DVD. After more than a year on the chart, the band's fourth album jumps 28 spots to #16.
Other notable debuts include Erick Sermon's Chilltown, New York at #61; "You Got Served" actor Young Rome's Food for Thought at #98; Orange County rockers' Lit's self-titled fourth album at #113; multicultural collective Ozomatli's Street Signs at #125; and the Crunk Classics compilation, featuring cuts from Three 6 Mafia, Paster Troy and Youngbloodz, at #164.

Greendale - In an effort to encourage residents to consider becoming a candidate for School Board, the Greendale School District will host a workshop at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 10 at the district office, 6801 Southway.
Those interested in registering should call the office at (414) 423-2700, Ext. 2702, by Dec. 7.
The five-member Greendale School Board will have three positions with three-year terms on the April 2 ballot.
To be on the ballot, candidates must submit the required Declaration of Candidacy and file their Campaign Registration Statement at the district office by 5 p.m. Jan. 2.
The workshop, the School Board Academy, will include presentations about the major operational areas of the district. They are: student achievement, curriculum and instruction, human resources, finance, technology and student services. Additional topics include election procedures and time commitment for board members.
Superintendent John Tharp said the workshop is helpful for those who want to know more about the district and the commitment required of a board member.
"Serving on the board is one of the most important responsibilities that a citizen can undertake," Tharp said. "The job of a board member is a varied and complex position. We want people to know the time commitment."

The kind of days where coffee and/or bathroom breaks are activities for which you can only dream? Forget makeup touchups, because those aren't happening, either. These are the times when you'll want to be sure to have Wet n' Wild Natural Blend Pressed Powder ($5) in your beauty stash. The paraben-free powder, especially when applied with a large fluffy brush in the morning, helps subtly diffuse imperfections and set makeup all day long. And unlike many other drugstore variety powders, the finish is neither too orange nor cakey. It also keeps the t-zone shine-free for hours and hours. So whether time is on your side or it isn't, at least you won't have to worry about your makeup.

Help! I think I've broken the Fantasy Cycling game...
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
Having a slight problem with my team... It's current value is 244 credits with another 8 left to spend. Every time I change a rider the total I can spend keeps going up!
As tempted as I am to just 'not notice' and stock my team with the best riders it probably wouldn't be overlooked for too long Is there anything you can do to fix it?
Also, some kind of 'report a problem' button wouldn't go amiss on there so you can report stuff straight from the Fantasy Cycling page.
I just noticed my team is 199 points! Although happy as I am, I am waiting for justice to be applied!
2 wheels please!

Blimey drheaton can't you be more careful that was brand new!
Typically it would only allow me 175 credits for my team - we'll have a tinker with the database and report back it'll probably be later today or tomorrow though because our chief tinkerer is out of the office. Be interesting to see how many other teams have exceeded the limit too

When I set my team up I had a budget of 175 and the system wouldn't let me exceed that, I think the problems started when I began swapping riders in and out.

So for the record the following people have got teams over budget:
merx racing
not quite sure what the issue is, one thing i did notice is that if you refresh a 'remove rider' page then it was removing the rider again and crediting you again, quite easy to whack up a good credit rating like that! or at least, it was
I've reset everyone's balance to reflect the value of their team. that means that if you're over budget, you have a negative balance and you'll need to do some work to your team. needless to say, teams that are over budget won't score any points. apologies for the loophole though, i'll see if i can find any more issues.
There's now a 'report issue' link in the menu, so you can let me know if anything's still amiss.

Ive now fixed my team cause i read this forum and checked but i could have easily left my team over budget as I thought i had an ace team (assisted with my extra 20 points).
I think everyone else might appreciate an email just to let them know there was a problem and their teams need to be fixed.

Candle Powered Pottery Heater
Hopefully, this can help you the next time you are stuck without heat.
Keep in mind that this will NOT heat your whole home, not even close. However, you'd be surprised at how it will heat up a closed room and will keep you from getting hypothermia. Essentially it takes the heat from the candle that would normally go straight up and radiates it out once the terra cotta begins to retain the heat.
Step 1: Materials
You will need the following:
3 different sized clay planting pots
1 large bolt (approx. 5″)
6 washers
1 flat bracket
1 Candle in a jar (like a Yankee Candle)
1 Alarmed looking black cat (optional)
Step 2
1. Thread the bolt through the bracket
2. Turn pot upside down
3. Thread the bolt through the hole in the bottom of the pot
4. Turn right side up
Step 3
1. Put washer on bolt
2. Thread the bolt through the medium sized pot
3. Secure with a washer and nut
Repeat this step again with the small pot
Note: be careful not to tighten too hard and break the pot
Step 4
1. Light the candle
2. Surround it with 3 large mason jars or other non-flammable items that will act as the stand to hold the pots in place
3. Set the pots upside down above the candle and…
You're Done!
It takes a few minutes before it feels warm to the touch because the inner pots heated before the outer pot will retain heat.
Keep in mind that the last thing you need in a blackout is a fire. Make sure all materials are on a non-flammable surface. One idea is to put all of the pieces inside a large cooking pot.
One candle will heat up pretty well. If you can get a glass jar candle that has two or three wicks even better!
Stay warm.

Epic groundhog battles taking place here🐻
Epic groundhog battles taking place here🐻
Not the nicest of folks you'll come across, no friendly local farmer vibe... But they have nice flowers and veggies/fruits.
Worst Avenue in NJ! Go to ANY other store within driving distance... Absolutely horrible from lack of clothes offered, to pitiful customer service.
Customer service here is truly sub par. 4 visits in past 2 weeks, not one person has offered help yet... Angry associates when I ask legit q's & check out :( not happy to come here!
Sincerely, fantastic coffee drive-thru.... Look forward to the next time I'm near this place. Actually, it's worth driving TO!
Amazing, simply stated: delicious!! The people are so nice, the food is stick to your ribs awesome. Ribs... I ate them all. Loaded mashed: gone. Shrimp skewers: what skewers? Love it!
Don't come here within an hour of their closing time. They will rush and do a half-ass job to get you out the door, and that really sucks (full price, crap work). Otherwise, this place is quite nice.
All the guy behind the counter does is complain... Just smile, nod your head and get outta there!
When the fountains are running in the front, it's so nice to step outside for a 15 min break, sit on a bench & breathe some fresh air
Be kind to your host and you'll likely be rewarded with clean laundry & cocktails! (and bacon)
If you get here around 7:30am M-F be prepared for a Stanley Steamer parade ordering burgers & chicken wings.
Terribly disappointing. Bland food, untempting menu, mediocre service. Parking is horrendous, do the valet if you're going in. Not going back.
Liquor license in Montclair, yes! But charcuterie & cheese boards NOT worth the money, steer clear.
The breakfast buffet is really decent here, especially the granola bites and yogurt. The tiki bar by the pool isn't bad either!
Slow service and lots of crying children... Not awesome... I prefer Eddies Roadhouse right down the street instead
Home is where the heart is, and also the party... Rage.
Pretty excellent craft beer selection for the middle of nowhere!
BBQ rib burrito? YES! Delicioso!

Musculoskeletal details of a 30kg South American emu and a 65kg ostrich were fed into the program next and top running speeds of 13m/s (about 30mph) and 15m/s (35mph) were calculated respectively.
The process was then repeated using the musculoskeletal data of five bipedal meat-eating dinosaurs a 3kg Compsognathus, a 20kg Velociraptor, a 430kg Dilophosaurus, a 1.4 tonne Allosaurus and the 6 tonne Tyrannosaurus.
The figures we have produced are the best estimate to date as to how fast these prehistoric animals could run, said collaborator Dr Manning, a lecturer in palaeontology in the School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences.
Since the movie Jurassic Park, scientists have questioned the speed of these dinosaurs and some have wondered whether Tyrannosaurus could have run at all.
Our research, which used the minimum leg-muscle mass T. rex required for movement, suggests that while not incredibly fast, this carnivore was certainly capable of running and would have little difficulty in chasing down footballer David Beckham for instance.

Well, what is Dave Lewis doing with Phil "The Thrill" Kessel? Other than, you know, cutting back his ice time in lockstep with Metro Boston real estate prices? Kessel arrived in September looking like a quick-build McMansion with a huge spoked-B painted on the front door. Nowadays, he's a basement-level studio condo, microwave tastefully mounted in the bathroom, with a one-window view up to the sidewalk. Tricky sell, that. "I want him to be a complete player," Lewis explained Thursday night, after Kessel jumped off the bench for the shootout against the Lightning and spiked the winner to the top right corner on Marc Denis, "in all areas of the arena."more (reg. req.)...plus much talk on the NHL...
