Historical Traveler Reviews Grand Resort Hotel & Convention Center Pigeon Forge
BEWARE and we were fooled by the internet pictures
What a complete disappointment this hotels was!! The property is not maintained very well. Here are just a few of the noticeable problems with the hotel!!!1) Glass doors within the inside of the hotel were cracked and taped up with masking tape. 2) The so-called " wirlpool " was in the middle of the lobby and on top of that, the heater for the wirlpool was broken. 3) The internet site says they have 3 full buffets daily, well the truth is they only have breakfest. 4) The so-called reflection pool is nothing more tham a small pond to throw coins into and clearly not to swim in. 5) The rooms were poorly maintained and the lightbulbs were burned out in the lamps. 6) If you want ICE, YOU BEETER BRING QUARTERS, BECUASE YOU PAY 25 CENTS for a bucket of ice. 7) What a joke this hotel is and stay away !!!
Grand was Good!!
The Grand is a fine place. We had no problems with our stay at all. The room was fine. Beds were clean , Had a coffee pot, iron and board, microwave, fridge and cable tv. Had a nice view of the river. Believe me , We have Stayed in a whole lot worse hotels that cost more then the GRAND. This was just a pretty much standard room. The people at the front desk were nice. Some friends of ours had a suite. It was very nice. It had a big screen tv , a kitchen area , it even had two bathrooms. Nice room. All in all , the Grand is a fine place to stay and we'll probably stay there again.
I agree Grand-Sucked
I agree with the review on the Grand in Pigeon Forge. We arrived very late, on a /Fri so there were no rooms to be had anywhere, except at that dump, the desk clerk gave us a AAA rate of $99, wow we slept in the room for 4 hrs. We were given a coupon for breafast and were 5 mins and were refused. Rooms weren't grand either. Don't stay here ever!
Grand? Please!!
The youth group from our church choose this hotel last December because we were attending a conference next door. I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN! The place was terrible! And I mean terrible! Forget service - it does not exist.
Worst Hotel in Pigeon Forge
I booked this hotel on Expedia and it was given a 4 star AAA rating. I didn't do any research, trusting the Triple A rating. The room was filthy, the coffee pot was corroded, bathroom unclean, no clock, irons, blow dryers, TV didnt work, lamp broken, carpet filthy, and on top of that it smelled. Nothing like the internet description. When asked about the amenities they replied that people steal so they stopped offering clocks, irons and blow dryers. I checked out the next morning with no refund or discount. I plan on contacting the management...if there is any at all. They are part of the Family Inns which also get awful reviews. I moved to tThe Willow Brook Lodge, it was wonderful, friendly and clean.
Not that bad
After reading the present reviews i was kind of skeptical about staying there, but altogether it wasn"t too bad. I understand they have new management and are trying to straighten out the problems. The room was clean, the breakfast was good and the staff was very accommodating.
Resort? I don't think so.
The word "Grand" means different things to different people. But when you see the word "Resort" you expect a little more than what you'll receive at the Grand Resort. Our room on the 3rd floor smelled clean enough but there was soap scum in the bathtub and the bathroom floor grout was pretty gross. Other than that most people expext a resort to offer things like a hair dryer - not one in the whole "resort". TV remotes that actually had working batteries is usually expected at a "resort". An when I stay at a "resort" I usually don't expect to have the hot tub right next to and in plain view of the only dining area!
Some things were not meant to be seen when you're trying to eat!
Believing in your religion is a great and powerful thing but ramming it down every visitor's throat on every public view TV in the "resort" is a little much. Nonne of the web site I found the "resort" on even mentioned this. It may be uncomfortable for some guests. Overall, not what I expected but still not at bad as the hotel we stayed at last year in Gatlinburg.
Worst hotel stay in my life!
Please don't stay here!! Stay anywhere else, for any price! There was blood on the sheets!!! Fresh blood!! Not to mention the ceiling in the bathroom poured....not dripped.....water from the bathroom above, and the 'large indoor jacuzzi' was not even warm, it was colder than old bathwater....and crowded. We fought with the desk clerks to get a new room when we found the blood on the sheets. They would not give our money back, but agreed to give us a free breakfast for the trouble, and then recanted the next morning. It was horrible. It was the worst use of $109.00 imaginable. And the staff lied. Outright lied!!!
Nothing Grand about the Grand Hotel
We had a room reserved at the Grand Hotel and Resort, which was a misnomer. The only thing grand were the grandfathers dressed like Johnny Cash driving Cadillacs. This place is apparently some kind of hub for gospel music. There were two girls sleeping on the benches in front of the ice machine (which cost a quarter to use). This place was crowded and dirty. There were tons of people with no shirts on and smoking cigarettes. When we checked in, our first room had a broken air conditioner and was smelly. We went to change rooms and this took about 15-20 minutes. We got moved from the first floor to the third floor way on the other side of the building. It was far away from the elevator.
The tub had jacuzzi jets, but they shot out a lot of filth. Also, the shower water would fluctuate between freezing cold and scalding hot.
Then, at four in the morning, I was awakened by the sound of people having sex next door. When morning finally came, we were treated to a free breakfast which consisted of pancakes or biscuits. Nothing else.
(Water was free.)I also have to say that Pigeon Forge is a very scary place with lots of go-cart tracks and crap. Also, from previous experiences, I would not recommend staying in any hotel affiliated with Family Inns. The Grand Resort was owned by this company, but you would never know it.
Please don't stay here!
When I entered my room, there was a piece of ceiling on the toilet. I brought my laptop/modem to dial-in. No phone jack! The phone was really old and directly wired into the wall. They advertised free breakfast. I asked about my free breakfast and was told the owner changed his mind.
I pointed out breach of contract since it was on the web when I booked the room. No free breakfast! I asked to switch to a room with a phone jack. Response: "I'll see what I can do. Can you come back in 2 hours?" I said, "No, I'm checking out now."

I was going to just delay this post due to inclement weather, but Grey's super Doppler 5001, which is also a giant B.S. detector, wouldn't let me. So here we sit, some 48 hours before the list that you are about to see means about as much as single-ply toilet paper… Really, what cheap s.o.b. concocted this idea of pinching pennies? I mean everyone has had a run-in with it at some point. Awful. It's part of the reason I have a salt-water bidet in all three outhouses at the Smokey compound. So back to the deadline… closer gossip teams are lining up other contenders closers in such a bullish market, namely the rumors surrounding Mark Melancon. The market and teams that need reliable relievers, let alone closers, is the Nationals, Indians, Rangers and Giants. It is just the land of confusion and there is not enough LOOGY'S to go around. I will touch on who I can see where after the bump to prolong the suspense, but the teams I just mentioned are teams to monitor on the opposite end of closers, because if the big names start rolling, all but Cody Allen looks to be out of a job. Here's what I can see going down by the deadline in the bullpen game, plus some rankings and next in line stuff. Plus, Razzball Soccer has started pumping out quality, so go over and check it and join the official game…Please, blog, may I have some more?
Tyler Thornburg
Shaba Antone in the know knows that I am all about Jamaica. Love to visit the place. I also have several friends that reside on the isle and like to partake in the national festivity of… well, you know, don't make me say. The Dodger pen has been a flux of capacitors all year, and I think at some point I'll bet a sixer on the leading hold leader from them being someone who may have contracted a melanoma. Enter Joe Blanton. The resurrection project of all resurrection projects. Not only has he flourished in the role of set-up to the stars, but he doesn't seem to have any competition to say the opposite. In his last 30 days, minus a week off for the All-Star break, he has a one-off the pace total of 7 holds, a K/9 rate of above average, and an ERA of two bills. All this for a team that has lacked stability setting up the dude who sounds like someone you would rent a kickboard from in Jamaica. Now, he isn't the only reason for the Dodgers having a top-5 bullpen ERA in the last 30 days, but he isn't not-not the problem. He is someone you may need to own though, add in the fact that in some leagues, I have SP eligibility, and he looks even sexier. So now that we have got the lede out the way, let's get to the milk and cookies of the bullpen report.Please, blog, may I have some more?
I am always a day late and a buck short on the posts because I am relegated to be the Saturday morning cartoon of the Razzball variety. No worries, I mean, who doesn't love 80's cartoons and can't list 10 shows that would drastically alter children's universes today? One word… Snorks. So with everyone else doing the second-half rankings, I felt it was my duty to give the closer rankings based solely on the second games remaining. The elite will still be the elite, the mediocre are still mediocre, and the middling teams will still be middling. I don't care what algorithm Jimmy Bill came up with to have expected win totals and blah blah. Expected win totals are an indicator of save expectations. because the percent of saves converted in wins by teams has been pretty stagnant at 52%, give or take a few sheckles each way. So looking at the games remaining, some teams have less games to play then others, and some have more so the expected totals for some teams will be different then what you would expect them to be. So as a wise person once said to me in throws of fantasy passion, lets have at it. Cheers!Please, blog, may I have some more?
I'm doing fine without games every day. Thanks for checking in on me. *nervous giggle, looks into the mirror, laughs hysterically* I'm just fine! The other day at 7 PM EST, I took a magic marker and every few minutes I wrote on my computer, giving my fantasy team a run, RBI and the occasional home run. Sadly, even with my fantasy fantasy team accruing stats, Chris Archer gave up four earned in six innings. Since there were no games this week and players haven't been able to get hot or cold or humid, this Buy/Sell is going to be slightly different. This Buy/Sell includes some players that are owned in more than 50% of leagues. Okay, that's not different for the Sells, but it does change the Buys. The other day on our podcast I asked JB if he knew the one and only white reggae artist, Snow, because he has a doppelganger on the Pirates, Ja-Snow, but JB didn't know Snow because JB was born in the 2000s. But I was also asked by him who is my biggest buy of the 2nd half. For that I said, "Um, well, I have to say, actually, actually, actually, my biggest buy is, uh, um, hmm." Spit it out, Grey! You know how your own voice sounds weird? I wonder if that holds up for the Movie Trailer Guy. Finally, I said David Price, who I will get to shortly. Yes, that was the worst intro ever to Michael Brantley. I was trying to squeeze Brantley into my top 100 for the 2nd half, then I was like, "Grey, you're handsome, smart and other words for those two traits. You'll find a way to squeeze in Brantley if you really think he belongs. Also, what are we having for lunch?" Salmon poke, but no dice on Brantley. At the end of the day, that day specifically, I decided Brantley's shoulder injury worries me too much for inclusion, but I'd still stash him on my DL or buy him crazysupercheap, which is also the price for the CrazySexyCool album on CD. "These things will never go out of style!" That's me spending thousands of dollars on CDs. For the 2nd half, Brantley's projections look like Yunel's 5 HRs, 4 SBs, .295, but maybe his last cortisone shot will take and he'll be his old self for six weeks to two months. For the price you can get him right now, it's worth it to find out. Anyway, here's some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I figured out the best concoction for delivering fantasy baseball… First, go to liquor store and grab your consumption of choice. Next, convey your thoughts about fantasy bullpens to the masses in a cognitive and fluid way that makes sense to… the masses. Mission One: check, Mission Two: to be determined. This week, I wanna touch base on the neophyte in Seattle's Edwin Diaz, the once highly-touted starting pitcher prospect that is now occupying the first chair in Seattle. He is sorta the new kid in class, and the trust level to let him borrow a Nintendo game just isn't there yet. The stats will speak differently though. Check the rhythm of the rhyme I wrote and while I got a chance here, let me clear my throat. For the last month, he has been chipping away at the Benoit salad in Seattle's pecking order. Well, now he is the goods by setting up a Cishek. Cishek in this case is Swahili for "not for long". Over the last fortnight, he leads all of baseball in holds with 5, and his 20.57 K/9, which is basically unparalleled by anyone. Listen, Cishek has the job and he isn't getting shipped anywhere while the Mariners are in a wildcard hunt. But isn't it fun to own the guy who is sexy now before you start seeing kids in the mall all wearing him like he is the new Cavaricci? Diaz is his name and RP satisfaction is his game, green is his color… blue is the other. So hop on the good foot and add the sure thing. While you're at it, check some other delectable sundries that I have in the shape of bullpens and their place in society…Please, blog, may I have some more?
Whatever your cultivation of choice may be, go with it. Oscar Gamble was, and is still a pimp in social culture, as is California sensemilia. So whatever your subset of life is, that's cool with me. My obsession is a little of column A, a lot of column B, and I incorporate column C. Column C being my love and passion for the deliverance of the most finite bullpen jargon on the web. Go look, there isn't anything better than me. I checked, if I added a pretty colorful chart with catchy funny names, then I would literally have to kick my own ass. So here we sit, and look at what the Rangers are doing. They have been doing, in the last 30 days what the Cubs did over the first 30. They are, in no large part, being buoyed by a stout bullpen. Their starters are all hitting the DL and fast. The trio of Matt Bush, Jake Diekman, and Sam Dyson are about as tight as a bullpen can get, and the best group I have seen since the Isley Brothers concert Prospector Ralph and I went to see. I have talked about Dyson and Diekman on separate occasions this year. So no, it's the one without voting privileges turn. Bush has basically been a la machina since promotion on May 12th. He has appeared in 13 games for the Rangers to date, and his usage has only recently spiked having pitched in 13 of the last 22 overall for the Rangers. His 10-plus K-rate over that time is coupled with an ERA under a buck and his xFIP is basically what David Phelps is giving you. Who, in most hold leagues right now, is pretty much a must own and isn't a guy you yawn at in mixed company leagues either. Bush is a feel good story that I think can continue as long as the Rangers can duct tape their starting rotation together long enough to maintain their AL West dominance. He should be rostered in most leagues going forward for his usage potential as the remaining Rangers starters, minus Cole Hamels, average less than 6 innings per start. So head for the mountains and roster some Bush. Stick with me for some other diatribes of greatness…Please, blog, may I have some more?
Dellin Betances is basically the fat of the fantasy set-up world. The goods are there, it just takes time and some settling before we all realize it is, what was and what always shall be… I think I just laced this post with some subtle Led Zeppelin reference, but I may be crooked to walk on one leg to let myself know that I did, let alone let you subtly know. So I will just go ahead and say there was a Zep reference-reference. Good, moving on. Success of a bullpen, let alone someone you should be relying on, is correlative of how well the team is performing. It's science, if you score more you put yourself in a better position to win more, regardless of who is on the bump. Dellin was and is the goods, currently and in post-script. He came into the year as the man to target in any format that coveted fantasy goodness, condensed into a smaller innings unit of measure than that of a starter. Now add in the dash of Holds sassiness, and he is a bullpen god. He is now the king of the Hold in all leagues by quantity and not by just scripture. His 16 holds on the year are tops on the this year's gig and given the Yankees propensity to not score over 4 runs in a game, his reign may be a run away. He has the good everywhere else; K/9, swagger, ability to tie multiple knots while buoyant at sea. There are no bullpen stats that he isn't the man at. He basically walks into a bar/club and automatically has the best synchronized music to his step….think Matthew McConaughey in Dazed in Confused…and let here comes the story of the Hurricane ramble through your third eye for a bit. So let's jump into this fortnights dealing in the bullpen game… alright, alright, alright.Please, blog, may I have some more?
There's embarrassment and then there's having to cover in detail a fantasy baseball league you're nearly dead last in. So begins our first monthly update on the in house dynasty league "The RazzNasty". For those of you that are new here, "The RazzNasty" is a Razzball founded dynasty league made up of Razzball writers, readers, commenters, and Methodists! It's a 16 team roto with semi-weekly adds/drops via blind auction. We have 30 man MLB rosters and 10 man minor league rosters. Since we last updated you in early March there's been a flurry of activity including trades, wire adds, a second commissioner switch, and a banana or two in the tailpipe. So yes it's more or less high stakes Mario Kart.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Here we go, the last one in my series. The big finale. The crème de la crème. The ultimate in baseball knowledge. I hope I don't cry, I'm very emotional. In case you missed my other masterpieces, here you go:

You're gonna find this utterly incredible, but, with these top 100 starters for 2014 fantasy baseball, I've put out all of my 2014 fantasy baseball rankings. Tomorrow will be the top 100 overall, then the top 400 overall, but that's just putting everyone in perspective. I'm going to now soak my finger bunions in pickle juice and read a good book. Anyone read the Charles Nelson Reilly autobiography? I hear it's a real eye grabber. Oh, guess I should finish this post first. As always, my projections are included and where tiers start and stop.

Skip to comments.Father of Slain SEAL: Who Made the Decision Not to Save My Son?
Posted on 10/25/2012 5:23:41 PM PDT by Snuph
Charles Woods, the father Tyrone Woods, who was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attack at the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, reveals details of meeting Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton at the publically broadcast memorial service for the slain Americans at Andrews Air Force Base only days after the attack. And, in a recent radio appearance, Woods publicly questions who made the call not to send in back-up forces to possibly save his sons life, as well as the three other Americans killed in Benghazi (which includes the American ambassador to Libya).
When [Obama] came over to our little area at Andrew Air Force Base, says Woods, he kind of just mumbled, you know, Im sorry. His face was looking at me, but his eyes were looking over my shoulder like he could not look me in the eye. And it was not a sincere, Im really sorry, you know, that youre son died, but it was totally insincere, more of whining type, Im sorry.
Woods says that shaking President Obamas hands at his sons memorial service was like shaking hands with a dead fish.
(Excerpt) Read more at weeklystandard.com ...
Ibama is one dangerous person.
Some or another Romney PAC should use this guy in an ad.
O'Riley is on now on Fox taking up for BAMA . Says decisions like Bengazi are usually delegated and feels BAMA was busy campaigning and probably was not even told what was going on!
"Woods publicly questions who made the call not to send in back-up forces to possibly save his sons life, as well as the three other Americans killed in Benghazi (which includes the American ambassador to Libya). "
What kind of a military do we have now that will not do what it takes to save lives, including pretending not to get the orders not to save the lives of fellow soldiers?
I stopped watching BOR after his fawning interview of Obama four years ago.
The buck stops with Obama, Bill.
lol...the Clinton Defense: "The buck never got here!"
Sir, the man who has been posing as Commander in Chief for nearly four years, one Baraq Hussein mohammed 0bama, who has repeatedly demonstrated that he is a cowardly traitor, is the responsible party.
it was fearless obama
I stopped watching BOR after his fawning interview of Obama four years ago".
I stopped watching him 7 years ago because of another sickening Al Sharpton interview.
Flipped channels and that was that.
O'Riley has been owned by, and used by Saudi Arabia for many years. Including doing a few dirty jobs for them.
Charles Woods, the father Tyrone Woods was on Beck, too. Mr Woods says Biden asked him if his son had or must have had balls the size of cue balls. Something like that. Can you imagine?!!
BOR can go to hell! Whether is campaigning or otherwise busy the man is the CIC and should have been aware no matter what!
Why in the world would anyone say such a stupid thing?
The biggest stench is that it is beginning to look like Obama went night-night to rest up for Las Vegas, instead of seeing the crisis through and (had he been awake) sending a rescue mission.
After 6-8 hours in a few Fort Apaches with running street battles between, like a mini Blackhawk Down, the living Americans must have been thinking, Any minute now, here come the helicopters.
But they didnt. So even though Delta had forward staged to Sigonella Sicily (rumint) from base in Germany, nobody was willing or able to pull the trigger and send a rescue force. Or even a few F-18 supersonic flybys, to bust windows and warn, Here comes American airpower, and you camel jockeys know what that means. Just a a morale booster it would have helped the besieged staffers.
But it was never sent, not even a lousy supersonic low-level flyby.
Here is the deal. The military does a lot on its own, under standing orders and SOPs, the minute they see that the consulate is under attack, and the ambassador and others are in a "safe room" hiding. At that moment, things happen on autopilot in real time. Everybody in the Navy and USAF chain of command swings into a crisis contingency plan mode. What ships are closest? Helicopters? Marines? Delta is in Germany? Get them moving right now. Where is closest? Sigonella, for now. Its NATO, no permission needed, just fly. En route in C-17s, the Delta guys would even be prepping for an immediate action raid, that is, the C-17 will fly directly to some desert road outside of Benghazi, and here comes The Raid On Entebbe, crisis mode, canned actions, but they would do it. If they were ordered to.
Or Marines on amphib ships in the central Med, if any were available, would also be put on the real-time options board.
But while all of that military staging would have happened/did happen, what they cannot do on their own say-so is cross an international border without an order from the NCA, the National Command Authority, and that means POTUS, Obama.
Only POTUS can authorize a cross-border hostile mission. That is, guns clear, no official permission from the Tripoli govt (if it really exiss outside State Dept fantasies.)
Only one man can pull that trigger and say, "GO!" Obama.
(But for America to act "unilaterally" would have meant the bogus Libyan Arab Spring and so-called new govt. that we were propping up didnt really exist. Libyan sovereignty must be held sacrosanct, even the false image of one, where in reality, Al Queda is top dog. Even when an Al Queda offshoot is your external "security," namely, The 17th of February Martyrs Brigade." (IOW, the White House thought they had a "deal" with AQ in Behghazi, since we were helping to run weaponry from Libya to their pals in Syria. So there was an "institutional bias" at State against crossing the border on a rescue up sin permisso.
Anyway, be that as it may, no General or Admiral will order the Marines ashore, or a Delta raid or even an F-18 low-level supersonic flyby. They can not and will not cross a border without an order from POTUS via the NCA.
But no order came, as of midnight. And then none would come. Because the POTUS retired for the night with a do not disturb sign on his door, punted, and went to bed, to be well rested for Las Vegas.
While his ambassador was off the U.S. radar, missing, at that moment possibly being dragged down a Benghazi street or even raped. But that is when Obama went to bed. Midnight in DC is 0600 in Beghazi.
That is the greatest scandal of Benghazi. The POTUS slept through it, while all around the world, military forces were poised for the Raid on Entebbe or any other damn thing the POTUS ordered them to do. (And the were raring to go, believe me.)
But the POTUS said, Well discuss it further in the morning, and then he went to bed around midnight in DC, 0600 in Benghazi, with a missing ambassador and a crisis in full mega flap process.
He punted. He went to bed.
God help us. I think thats the big secret they are keeping. The President went to bed, with his lost Ambassador being dragged through streets.
Obama went to bed.
No offense to hair.
Seriously, he is probably the least qualified person to speak of administration processes. My 90 year-old two-panty granny probably knows more about military affairs than this tool.
He's a spiteful misinformed narcissistic ideologue, but he's not alone. The media have failed the USA, over and over and over again. They have put their petty selves before the future of the US and its children. it is unforgivable.
I would not want to live another day if anything happened to my child, God forbid. i can't imagine what this poor father is going through. But our media, the cocktail sipping self-satisfied arrogant a**h***s that they are, don't care. They love to back the pseudo-compassionate left, but show no empathy for those who truly suffer.
By the way, I wonder if Letterman and the rest of that pathetic and marginally talented crowd will give this father the same support that they gave Cindy Sheehan...
Here it is:
Joe Biden to Father of Former Navy SEAL Killed in Benghazi: Did Your Son Always Have Balls the Size of Cue Balls?
"ORiley is on now on Fox taking up for BAMA . Says decisions like Bengazi are usually delegated and feels BAMA was busy campaigning and probably was not even told what was going on!"
He is sucking up to Obama hoping to get an interview.
Well said.
Whoever orchestrated the "real" operation, i.e., the kidnap-gone-bad of Ambassador Stevens.
He would need to look outside the U.S. government, no doubt, to find out who was pulling the strings.
Where is Cindy Sheehan? We still have a war going on and there are still soldiers in Iraq. So why isn't she camped out across the street from the White House?
He had just presented posthumous Congressional Medals of Honour, America's highest military decoration, to the widows of two soldiers for valour in Somalia. After inviting the families for a moment of quiet reflection in the Oval Office, the president approached Herbert Shughart, the father of one of the two soldiers, and offered his hand.
To his astonishment the handshake was declined. '' You are not fit to be president of the United States ,'' said Shughart Senior. '' The blame for my son's death rests with the White House and with you. You are not fit to command.''
The president reeled and the unprecedented onslaught continued for some minutes. According to witnesses it was a ''highly charged emotional moment'' which resulted in Clinton trying to explain to Shughart,Sr. why the events of that day last October were not his fault.
After a brief, awkward silence, Clinton caught his breath. Becoming angry, he turned to the mother of the dead soldier and said, "What's he jumping on me for? I didn't kill the kid! "
I cannot express just how disgusting the Obama administration is and continues to be.
I am not even sure another Reagan can pull us back from the precipice this guy has placed this country near. I will vote for Romney and hope for the best but he sure doesn't seem to be the right man at the right time.
You never know for sure tho.
A very relevant question.
CHILLING! May God bless this poor man and his family as they grieve the loss of their son, a true American hero.
Will any of this ever see the light of day in the media——even Fox? Nope. Too busy talking about the election and what a beautiful couple Barak and Moochelle are. Gag me
This just adds to the low, constant drone of utter loathing I have for this cockroach of a man.
Where is Cindy Sheehan? We still have a war going on and there are still soldiers in Iraq. So why isnt she camped out across the street from the White House?
Judge Pirro wasn't having any of the BS O'Bloviator was serving...
Jarrett probably tucked him in...
She is the VP candidate on the Roseanne Barr ticket
Well, if Dear Leader didn't and doesn't have standing orders to be located when such an incident occurs, we're worse off than I thought.... and that's pretty awful!
This is what America gets as a CIC when the one they elect is not an American, and worse, a Muslim.
I would NEVER serve under such an incompetent foreigner.
Yours is the only scenario that would make the need for a cover-up of what really happened so necessary that the no-one in the administration will admit to the truth.
From the get-go, it made no sense that Obama was not told about the raid on the Consulate, unless there was something that was given a higher priority--and that is a good night's sleep.
If what you surmise is what really went down--may it be 0's last good night sleep for a long time, not just because he knows he could have done something to save 4 men, but because his failure to act cost him the presidency!
OMG!!!!!! He said this?????????
Is Biden some IRL (In Real Life) Internet Troll, or something????
I have tears welling up in my eyes with rage right now.
I can't believe he said that.
What a mess we're in. POTUS is either a flat out traitor/mole, or the most naive and incompetent POTUS dreamed in a nightmare.
He approved "The 16th of February Martyr's Brigade" for exterior consular security, instead of US Marines!
If you haven't heard the conversation between Glenn Beck and the father of the slain SEAL Tyrone Woods; you need to do so. It is posted at the Blaze, and I believe there is a thread someone here at FR with the links.
You and me both. I want to see proof of any communication from Obama from approx 2300 on 9-11 until approx 0700 on 9-12.
When was he in the Situation Room with the NSC? Or was he never at all? He keeps parsing, talking about "being in touch with" the NSC, not "I was with my NS team" etc.
My guess is around midnight, it seemed like nothing could be done, should be done, so why not go to sleep? While his Ambassador was missing and being desecrated. He slept.
And nobody but him could order Delta or any other rescue attempt. Just the sad little QRF from Tripoli, which was getting stopped at airports like Inspector Clouseau visiting a Middle Eastern country.
God forbid Delta would just land in the Libyan Desert in C-17s, and or the USMC in helicopters and Ospreys.
Nobody could make that call but POTUS, and he went to bed.
I can't wait for some honorable general or admiral to go on a Sunday show and blow the lid off this disgrace.
ORiley is on now on Fox taking up for BAMA . Says decisions like Bengazi are usually delegated and feels BAMA was busy campaigning and probably was not even told what was going on!
O Reilly shows a total lack of respect for those who put there lives on the line by letting Obama off the hook on this one.
I'm listening to it, now. He treated Sean Smith's mom the same way.
He is EVIL incarnate.
You have confirmed what I thought, Travis, but you wrote it so much better than I could.
President Obama has a long history of vaccillating, procrastinating, ignoring, delaying, anything to prevent him from actually making a real decision that he might be held accountable for.
In a crises, he reverted to form. He decided not to do anything.
Yo badass! I saw this of all places on CBN, the 700 club. Les Aspin was Secretary of Defense and he didn't know his @zz from a hole in the ground. Colin Powell was also involved and he kept his mouth shut.
Thanks for posting this.
This was one of Slicks most sickening attempts to be a CIC.
BOR accepted Panetta's excuse for "Doing Nothing" and allowed him to cover his leader for the lie we all lived as the Benghazi terrorist attack unfolded. If Panetta's excuse was valid, why was anyone from U.S. on the ground in Libya?
"These two SEALS took out 80 of the sons of Islam"
Is that true?
Thank you for your posts on this tragic, treasonous disgrace, Travis.
Obama slept.
Jesus wept.

This would be interesting enough to watch as a piece of cinema history,
if for no other reason. J. Stuart Blackton was known for his skills in
drawing and sketching, and he would also soon become active in the new
business of movie-making. This movie was part of a series of films
featuring Blackton, but it is apparently the only one whose footage
still survives.
In this feature, Blackton draws one of his 'lightning sketches', making an instant portrait of Thomas Edison, for Edison's own camera crew. Blackton is obviously skilled in addition to being fast, although in itself his technique and the portrait of Edison are not otherwise remarkable.
The popularity of this feature, simple though it was, is said to have motivated Blackton to give film-making a try himself. Although he and many of the other earliest movie makers are now largely forgotten, having remnants like this of his work keep him from being more than just a name.
J. Stuart Blackton was an important figure in the early history of
movies. Born in Yorkshire, he emigrated to New York City as a youth, and
age 21 he was employed by the New York 'Evening World' as a cub reporter
sketch artist. Shortly after Thomas Edison announced his invention of the
wonderful new moving-picture device the Vitascope (actually developed by
Edison's assistant W.K.L. Dickson), Blackton's editor sent him to New
to interview the great inventor.
Edison's office manager, W.E. Gilmore, did not want Blackton to interview Edison at all, but Edison granted the interview. Blackton had to bellow into Edison's right ear, as the inventor was nearly deaf. When Edison inquired about the sketchbook under Blackton's arm, Blackton opened it and drew some quick sketches for Edison.
The inventor had a well-developed sense of showmanship. Sensing an opportunity for his new invention, he ordered his assistants to set up the Vitascope apparatus and take footage of himself sitting for a charcoal sketch while Blackton drew his portrait. While the camera cranked, Edison (clearly seen to be speaking onscreen) ordered Blackton to sign the sketch. Sensing the publicity value of this, Blackton signed his name onscreen ... and then added the words 'Cartoonist of the NY Evening World'.
Public curiosity about Edison was rampant at the time, and Edison's Vitascope company released the film throughout America. Because thousands of people saw it, this film reaped tremendous publicity for Blackton's newspaper and for Blackton himself ... so much so, that he was soon able to leave the Evening World and go into business for himself as a moving-picture entrepreneur. He purchased one of the very first Vitascope cameras which Edison's company made commercially available: Vitascope camera #13.
This movie is probably the earliest cinema footage of Thomas Edison, and certainly the first footage of Blackton ... an important motion-picture figure in his own right. For its historic significance, I'll rate this movie 10 out of 10.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
. . . as most of the kinetograph Edison offerings that the Edison National Historic Site, the Library of Congress, and the Museum of Modern Art list as 50' of 35 mm film clock in at 15 to 20 seconds when you watch them nowadays, whereas this feature drags on for one minute and 25.46 or 85 seconds! The end result from the NEW YORK WORLD newspaper editorial cartoonist only credited on-screen as "Blackton" is a pretty messy and virtually unrecognizable "sketch" of Edison. (The official U.S. government Library of Congress name for this bit is INVENTOR EDISON SKETCHED BY WORLD ARTIST, by the way.) The U.S. National Park Service expert says in the intro to this piece that Blackton fancied himself the greatest artist in the world (obviously he was never exposed to Van Gogh or Gaugin, whouv made much more money in their careers to date than he and everyone else working at the NY WORLD during its existence made in their combined lifetimes), so he wears a Bob Cratchit outfit while scribbling out this sketch to "prove" it. (It must be that ancient garment the DOWNTON ABBEY review says used to be MORE formal and artistically restricting that the "modern" tuxedo.) So irregardless of what the "cast" credits say here, donent look for old Tom from Port Huron to make an appearance here--unless, that is, you can stretch your imagination as much as "Blackton the Magnificent."

Customer Reviews
Horribly buggy, had to delete and request a refund
I bought this app for my son, due to his love for Red Ball 4. We had a fun time playing it the first night, but the following day found the app completely unresponsive. It would not accept any input; no matter where we tapped on the screen, it was completely frozen up. Force quitting the app didn't resolve it, rebooting the iPad didn't resolve it, the only thing that got the app working again was to completely delete it (losing all of our progress), and re-downloading it. I did this, and then after another 10 minutes or so of playing, we experienced the same issue again. I am playing on relatively new hardware and software (iPad 4th gen running iOS 8.2), and I find a glitch of this magnitude completely unacceptable. I have deleted the app and requested a refund.
To anyone considering the purchase - don't do it!! I'd recommend the (much better) Red Ball 4 (which is half the price of this game), or if you've already played that, you're better off just finding something else entirely.
If you have purchased the app and are experiencing the same issues (as a number of other reviews seem to indicate, many other people are), request a refund!! This can be done from Apple's website. Sure, it's only 2 bucks, but this developer does not deserve $2 for selling you something hat doesn't even work.
It is an ok game but there really is no difference in the objective of the game compared to the 1st and 2nd versions of red ball. This app needs a lot more levels for it to be worth $1.99!!! Also, there is an option where you can use your iPhone/iPod Touch as the remote for your iPad/Mac's red ball 3, but the remote, because it is wireless, is very delayed and thinks you are pushing buttons when you really are not. So I would rate this app 3 stars.
FIX IT!! Please!!
I can see from the reviews that this issue has been going on since at least mid September. I bought this game and my daughter and I really liked it but as soon as you shut down the game you can't ever play it again. You have to delete it and reinstall it and lose all progress you had. So the only way to get further than the first 4-5 levels is to never ever stop playing. It's ridiculous, please fix this. I'm also requesting a refund. H

text: Let's face it, mainly I'm fighting the judgement I feel from others. The visceral reaction when my son says the word "gun" at a playground, the recoiling at aggressive play, the intense discomfort at young boys engaging in the play of good vs. bad. It is the hypersensitivity of today's world pitted against the nature of little boys.

An essential room in any home design layout is the bedroom. What makes this space so vital? A bedroom that embodies our personality has the power to affect mood, productivity, concentration and overall happiness. Rising from bed to a gentle ambience, bright and positive tones, soothing decor and inspiring colors can get anyone's day off to a good start. Pottery Barn's bedroom furniture is carefully made to accomplish just that. With warm and inviting tones, trendy shapes, exquisite comfort and a touch of sophistication, our pieces allow you to create a characteristic style that fits with the rest of the home's personality. For an especially cheerful touch, adorn bedside tables with attractive flowers or a classy lamp.
Available models range from straightforward designs to rustic and invigorating to pieces that highlight an exquisite and intricate feel focused on sophisticated curves and cool tones. Notice the contrasting but equally beautiful forms provided by our popular Sumatra Bed – emanating a rich mahogany hue and simple, calming strokes – and the refined design, trendy color options and remarkable appearance of the Lorraine Tufted Tall Bed & Headboard. Both offer matchless quality and indescribable comfort, while tailoring a personal space to the atmosphere that each customer desires. Other particular touches can be added using distinctive wall art. In addition, many of our bedroom collections offer matching dressers, side tables, armoires and end-of-bed benches, which means that creating a harmonious style throughout the room need not be guesswork.

Microsoft brings media services to its Azure cloud
Upgrade for streaming media
ASPIRING CLOUD VENDOR Microsoft is looking to breathe a little excitement into its Azure cloud proposition with the introduction of media streaming features that it claims will make serving content to mobile devices and other hardware a breeze.
Azure Media Services gives developers a set of APIs that they can use to create broadcast material and systems with features like content protection for Android, IOS and other smartphone and tablet devices as well as games consoles like the Xbox plus Silverlight, HTML5 and Flash.
Scott Guthrie, corporate VP of Microsoft's server and tools division, whooped through the details in a blog post in which he said that Azure Services has the same backend as systems used at high profile sporting events like Wimbledon. If you listen to him it is a one-stop solution for doing just about anything you want with media content.
"Windows Azure Media Services is a cloud-based PaaS solution that enables you to efficiently build and deliver media solutions to customers. It offers a bunch of ready-to-use services that enable the fast ingestion, encoding, format-conversion, storage, content protection, and streaming (both live and on-demand) of video," Guthrie burbled.
"It also integrates and exposes services provided by industry leading partners - enabling an incredibly deep media stack of functionality that you can leverage. You can use Windows Azure Media Services to deliver solutions to any device or client."
Guthrie said that Azure Media Services users can be sure of consistent service thanks to its use of a REST API, software architecture for delivering multimedia.
"This makes it incredibly easy to automate media workflows and integrate the combined set of services within your applications and media solutions," he added.
"Like the rest of Windows Azure, you only pay for what you use with Windows Azure Media Services - making it a very cost effective way to deliver great solutions." µ
