Introduced by project committee members Geoffrey Thomson and
Leslie Van Gelder, about 80 residents settled down in the
Glenorchy Lodge for the premiere of the entertaining
hour-long documentary on DVD, which tells the tale of how the
highway came into being, against all odds.
The lifeline was prompted by the realisation the steamship
Earnslaw was not going to service Glenorchy forever, so Tommy
Thomson and Laurie Smith are credited for campaigning for the
construction of the road in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
The modest unsung heroes who carved the original rugged
unsealed track from the village towards Queenstown are also
given their dues on camera.
Darrell's Bluff is named for road builder Darrell McGregor
who recalls how he used 17 cases of gelignite in one blast to
clear the road corridor.
Glenorchy residents gathered to watch the spectacle, only to
see an eruption of debris and beech trees so massive it
triggered a tidal wave which rocked the passing Earnslaw.
The documentary reveals how the self-reliant community raised
funds to pay for the road when money ran out. Raffle prizes
were won, then handed back so they could be raffled and won
The DVD costs $25 a copy for this weekend only, as part of
the 150th anniversary of settlement at the head of the lake.
The retail price increases to $30 afterwards.
All proceeds go towards the Glenorchy Heritage Group Inc.

The Arts and Crafts movement was a British and American aesthetic movement occurring in the last years of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th century. It enjoyed great success during the period between 1880 and 1910. The Arts and Crafts movement was in large part a reaction to industrialization and move away from European architectural styles. Moreover, some even considered it a rejection to building and creating homes using mass production and lack-luster design associated with the industrial revolution. In America, the term "arts and crafts movement" is not commonly use when describing this shift in residential architecture, rather it is more commonly referred to and known as "American craftsman" or "craftsman".
The arts and crafts movement also brought about America's interpretation of European art and crafts ideals in the form of craftsman architecture, furniture and other decorative items associated with the movement.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I'm sooo happy Jeff won!
After comp - lots of talk about the speeches (Shelly and Brendon's) and lots of Rachel Bashing. Kalia is trying to beg Shelly to get Jeff to put up Rachel - good luck with that Kalia.
Kalia's plan is that when K and Porsche go up Dani will win POV and take Kalia down. Dani saying it's Shelly, Adam and Jordan...I don't know.
IMO - He'll nominate Kalia and Porche with neither having a chance to win VETO and Kalia going home.

Audio of Jeff being told by someone in production (female)
BB production female - Okay Jeff, mic-pack on and everything ready to go?
Jeff - yep
BB prod. female - okay! go out and say "WHO WANTS TO SEE MY HOH ROOM!!"
Jeff - alright..thank you
BB female - alright have fun!
Jeff - who wants to see Big Jeff's HOH room?! I hate to wake everybody up but put on a fake face like everybody does and get up here!
everyone starts following Jeff up
Rachel - you got it quick
Jeff - yep.
Jeff - I want everybody to skip up the steps
Dani - and hold hands
Jeff - yep
Jordan takes the longest to get up there.. Jeff calls down "jordan act happier!"
when Jordan gets upstairs Shelly tells her to go upfront with Jeff...
Jeff - smiles from ear to ear now
they all go in and look at his pictures. He's telling them who all the pics are. He gets black slippers and Shelly says Jeff's mom is gorgeous.
Jeff reads his letter..it starts:
Dear Uncle Jeff,
Can you (he stops and says what??) ...he seems to be having a hard time reading the letter (it's from his niece) Kalia is helping him figure it out. It's Congratulations on winning HOH. I will let you borrow Brown Spots but bring him back. I love you and I miss you. Love, Marley
they ask who "Brown Spots" is but Jeff doesnt know. (lol)
he shows them who Marley is in pics
he got a hat... one he apparently gave to Jordan but got it back from her when they found out they were coming back into the house.
He got a Chicago shirt, his rosary bead, and a Bob Marley CD. He goes through his HOH basket and checks his little fridge. and says then he will read his HOH letter and then they can get outta there (lol). He got cheeses, drinks, flavored Icees, coffees, cereals (Cookie Crisp & Lucky Charms)
Jeff reads his letter:
For sheezy you're getting a lot more HOH's this Summer...sure hope I'm right rather than tell you how much everyone loves you and is proud of you. I guess I kind of just did..I figured I'd have Marley write you a letter. Macy is not so good at the writing yet so she wanted to pick a few flowers to send to you and Jordan... Macy also wanted you to know she went to the zoo but did not get to see the orangutan (he put that in there b/c I'd stutter over it).....
Good luck & give Jordan our best....
It was from his brother Scott. (I didnt get it all word for word)
Jeff explains that was from his younger brother but that he has an older brother.
They joke a little about the orangutan mentioned in the letter.
Shelly tells Jeff he looks a lot like his Mom.
Jeff really likes his Chicago shirt. He got a "jumbo" chapstick and says it should last him the rest of his time there.
he got a bottle of wine
Jeff goes back to his letter from his niece and talks again about who "brown spots" is?
They assume it's a stuffed animal but doesnt appear to be there if it is.

Great for Hiking
Socks are thick but not heavy and breathe very well. The really good news about these socks is that I get to pay no attention to them when I do long 15+ mile hikes. With cool, dry feet I can pay attention to the great outdoors instead of hotspots on my feet.
Great socks
I got theses sock to go rollerblading with my dog. I had to stop because of the friction between my old sock and the rollerblades. But now that I where a nylon sock under theses I have a great cushion and no friction and able to go further than I was going before. I looking forward to getting some for work, because I work 12 hour day on my feet and I think Thorlo socks will work great. If your feet happy, life is good. Thank you thorlo
Safe my feet
I love these socks, I can't wait to get more. I hot these to go rollerblading with my dog. My feet hurt so back, I had to stop going til I got these. I where a nylon sock underneath and now I have a cushion and no friction, which means no pain. I hope get more soon. I work 12 hours days on my feet all day and I think these will make a great addition to my work cloth. Because if your feet good, life is good. Thank you Thorlo, you help me out a lot.
Fine but aesthetically didn't like the colour
Felt like my tennis thorlos
My go to socks!!
At 74 my feet have been there done that! In buying more KX socks in recent sale I noticed that my sock drawer is 100% KX. My feet don't sweat or stink anymore. Whether slip on loafers or tennis/hiking shoes my feet are comfortably cushioned!!!
Great Socks for Hiking
My feet felt great! After a full day of hiking, my feet felt as if they could go another round. I love these socks so much, that I wear them around the house, just because they make my feet feel so good! I highly recommend these to anyone. I gave these socks 5 stars, and trust me, I'm OCD (for real), and I've researched a lot of socks before I settled on these. Get a pair, you won't regret it!
Hiking socks
These feel comfortable when you're on your feet all day, so they are useful for situations other than just hiking. They do keep your feet warm, so in summer that can be a downside. I intend to give them a real life tryout next week. I'm hiking about 15 miles. I think they will be perfect given what I've observed so far. As for recommending them, I gave a pair to a friend who is on his feet all day, but can't afford them. He says they're great.
These hold up pretty well under hard use.
Much more comfortable than when I've had to go sockless.
Husband VERY Happy
I bought these socks for my husband. He says they are the best socks he has ever worn. He has foot problems and is on his feet a lot throughout the day. He loves the cushioning that these socks provide and the overall quality of the construction of the sock. I've bought socks for him for 41 years--these clearly will be at top of our list from now on. Thanks for a great product.
best socks ever!
Great for hard work in boots.

Great job love the colours Nicky.
I love it! Hope you've brought it to his attention
He looks like he means cosmic business! I love such depictions of people with some of the ol' universe in them and see-through, so to say. It looks fantastic and it's simultaneously simple and profound food for thought. The contrast between the colorful cosmos and monotone Keith make for an effect on my eyes I can't find a word for, literally; it's nothing profound but somehow when I look at his face my eyes feel locked to it because of the surrounding colors as well as white.
Wow, brilliant
Which part of this work did you start on first?
cosmic awesomeness
Just love this ! He doesn't look a day over 60 ! Rock On !!
Thats a strong portrait, really nice!
Excellent piece!
freaking beautiful!
freaking trippy, love it, man!
The only man to have ever written a good guitar riff in his sleep.

Canterbury was the best team all tournament and won by a
comfortable margin when final games were played at the
Otago let some opportunities slip but also had some fine
moments and had four players named in a New Zealand under-19
training squad: bowlers Michael Rae and Jack Hunter and
all-rounders Alec Hodgson and Josh Finnie.
''If we had won our last game we were a chance at finishing
second, and that was probably a credit to the way everyone
performed rather than a couple of individuals,'' Deerness
''There were probably a couple of key games where we had
points on offer which we did not quite grasp.
''The one-day game against Wellington was one and the other
was in the twenty/20 game against Canterbury. If we had won
both those games, we probably would have finished a clear
''Having said that, I thought the boys played really good
cricket at times and they are young. We have seven returning
next year.''
Hunter was Otago's second-leading wicket-taker at the
tournament with 17 wickets at an average of 20.23. The
right-arm medium pacer opened the bowling and was one of the
''standout bowlers at the tournament'', Deerness said.
''[Hunter] is a little bit quicker than you think. He has a
really good short ball and he has another year [in the
under-19 competition].
''Rae is a big strapping lad. He's tall, he bowls into the
wicket and got some really important wickets for us. His
economy rate wasn't that low but he certainly nicked off some
decent players and that was his role.
''Josh is 16 and a right-arm offspinner. He was brought into
the squad after we had a few injuries and was a really good
performer for us.
''He bowled really well... and had a couple of opportunities
up the batting order and made 67 batting at No 3 for us in
our twenty/20 game against Canterbury. He is certainly a kid
with a really promising future.''
Hodgson bowled first change and opened the batting in the
one-day games. He is a right-arm outswing bowler and another
''player of promise''.

Cute essay :)
It is your wedding day. You have been planning this day since you got engaged nine months ago. You are happy, excited, and a little nervous. When you get to the church, you are told that it is necessary to switch your wedding to the courthouse instead—it is disappointing, but the minister's assistant reminds you that the courthouse is probably a safer location for your wedding because there are more people on staff there to handle any problems that might arise. When you arrive, you are told that your minister isn't going to be there for the ceremony after all, but there is a perfectly good justice of the peace available instead.
You ask when the ceremony can begin and the clerk tells you not until your fiancé's heart rate has been monitored for twenty minutes—"We need a baseline strip on him, hon. After all, you do want a healthy husband out of all this, don't you?!†she says.
You are asked to change out of your wedding gown and into a blue robe. When you express your dismay, you are reminded that your dress could get messy during the wedding and also, "Why does it really matter what you're wearing? In the end you'll have your husband and you'll be married and that's really what counts.â€
Next, the clerk starts an IV in your hand because, as she explains, you might get dehydrated while you wait for your fiancé.
"I have my favorite juice here, I'll drink that instead,†you reply.
"No, no dear. No juice. You could aspirate it and die if you end up needing surgery.â€
"SURGERY!†you exclaim, "Why would I need surgery? I'm just getting married!â€
The clerk gives you a knowing glance, "Honey, about forty percent of women who get married here need surgery before their marriages are finalized. This is an excellent courthouse! We do everything possible to make sure you have a healthy husband when you leave here. Isn't that what you want?â€
"Yes,†you reply weakly.
Finally, the other clerk signals that your fiancé is ready. You turn to look at him and see that he has a monitor strapped to his chest to monitor his heart rate and that he has an electrode on his scalp. You smile at him and prepare to say your vows—you've waited for this moment for so long! But, as you begin to speak, the clerk tells you to stop making so much noise. You start to cry in confusion and embarrassment and she tells you that you really need to get control over yourself.
She calls over several other clerks who stand near you and they all begin chanting loudly, "Say I DO! Say I DO!â€
"Wait,†you protest, "What about our vows?â€
"No time for that—you've got to get married as quickly as possible. Husbands can only bear to stand at the altar for a short time before they start showing signs of distress—you wouldn't want anything to happen to your husband would you? Now, say 'I DO,' say 'I DO'!!â€
So, you say the words, feeling a sense of dismay at it not being like you had planned, but excited to finally be married to your beloved. You turn to your new husband and reach out for him eager for your first married kiss, but the clerk grabs his arm and tugs him away after her.
"Wait!†you call, "I want to see my husband!â€
"Sorry,†is the reply, "He needs to be taken to the new husbands' lounge for observation.â€
"Observation of what?â€
"Weddings are stressful for husbands; we need to make sure he is all right. Now wait here, while the other clerk brings you a wheelchair to take you to your waiting room.â€
Instead of leaving for your honeymoon, you end up staying at the courthouse for three days. You keep asking to see your husband, but the clerk tells you he needs to gain some weight before he can leave and that he also needs some more blood drawn. She also lets you know that he has finally stopped complaining about his spinal tap.
Spinal tap?! Your dismay shows on your face and she tells you, "Come on! You'll be married for the rest of your life! A few hours of separation isn't going to hurt either one of you. You'll have plenty of time with him after you get home and will probably just get fed up with him then! What really matters now is that your husband is healthy.â€
"Yes, of course…â€
Finally, you get to go home, but you feel distant and sad. Your wedding was nothing like you'd dreamed of and you feel disappointed and betrayed. You enjoy being married and snuggling with your new husband, but you keep thinking about your wedding day and all of your ruined plans to make it special. When you try to tell your mother how you feel, she tells you that you should be grateful, at least your husband is nice and healthy.
When you tell your best friend about your disappointment, she tells you it is time to get over it—"Your wedding is just one day of your entire life. It is the marriage that really matters in the end. You only get married once, but in the end, you're married and you've got a healthy husband and that's really what counts, not how you get there!â€
You tell another friend about your ruined plans and she reminds you that you are lucky your husband is healthy and that it is selfish of you to keep thinking about your wedding. It is over and you've got your nice healthy husband to keep you busy now.
"Yes, but I feel like I missed out,†you venture.
"On what? Weddings are SO overrated. It isn't like you get a medal for having a beautiful wedding or anything. People have weddings every day.â€
You stop sharing your feelings, but you can't shake the memories. What you expected to be a beautiful day filled with love and celebration was not and you feel a real sense of grief at the loss of your dreams. You know you shouldn't feel this way. You know that what really matters is your healthy, happy husband, but you keep wondering if your wedding really had to be that way. Yes, you love your husband and you are so happy that he is healthy, but you also wonder if that really is all that matters. Don't you matter too? Doesn't your relationship matter? What about respect, dignity, love, and self worth? Don't those matter too? Wasn't this a special life transition for your family? Wasn't it the beginning of a special relationship together and couldn't that relationship have been celebrated, honored, and treated as worthy of care and respect?

There are two trends increasing the costs of patent litigation.
The first is the increased use of Daubert motions to exclude the opinion of opposing damage experts as unqualified or unreliable. The practical result is that parties are filing an increased number of motions to seal in order to protect the sensitive financial, marketing and licensing data that typically are contained in expert damage reports.
The second is the court's increased reluctance to find that a party's interest in preventing disclosure of sensitive business information overcomes the strong common law presumption favoring public access. This raises the bar in terms of the minimum support necessary to succeed on a seal motion. The seal motion typically trickles down to lesser experienced attorneys who are both working under short deadlines and attempting to apply often byzantine local sealing rules, however. Thus, the seal motion is often denied on first submission and is subsequently followed by repeated do overs requiring the application of more experienced staff and attorney resources. The work on the motion to seal is inefficient and unduly expensive and a prejudicial (to the client) diversion of scarce resources from more substantive projects.
While by no means exhaustive, recent cases in the Ninth Circuit and Northern District of California provide some bright line rules [provided after the jump] that can streamline the approach to sealing a damage expert's report.
Don't see the rule applicable to what you want to seal in your damage expert report? Check out Magistrate Judge Grewall's thoughtful charting and ruling on over two dozen sealing motions relating to non-dispositive discovery motions covering thousands of pages of requested seal documents. Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., 2013 WL 412864 at *2-3 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 1, 2013) ("What tribbles are to the Starship Enterprise, Captain Kirk, and Mr. Spock, the parties' ever multiplying sealing and redaction requests are to this case, Judge Koh, and the undersigned.")
Disclaimer: the above rules are focused on the correct application of the Ninth Circuit's sealing rules generally and the Northern District of California's Local Rule 79-5 specifically. The likelihood is that the application of these rules is at least instructive in other jurisdictions, but best approach is to first confirm the similarity of these rules to those in another jurisdiction.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 158 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Steve112 Design over practicalities The hotel is very pretty, but the design decisions did not consider the practicalities of staying there. There is not one drawer in the entire room. There is nowhere to put away your suitcase(s). The "bathroom" is exposed, so that if one guest is getting up, everyone in the room must get up. The lights in the toilet/shower area light up the entire room. Room design should be pretty AND practical. You got one out of two. August 17, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Amywood Great because it's close to my office but not the best sleep experience. I stay here because it's convenient to the office when I'm in town. There are trains running nearby that are loud and shake the building. This trip I had a night of karaoke singing outside my window during an event. On the positive side though, the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and the rooms are very modern. August 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RBar Still wonderful Our second stay in 6 months was every bit as great as the first. Exceptionally clean facility and warm, friendly staff. We have made this our 'go to' hotel in Cleveland! August 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KLJ14 Wedding block I reserved a wedding block for my guests at the Aloft Cleveland Downtown Hotel, and it truly exceeded all my expectations! All the employees I worked with were so accommodating and professional, and I can't thank them enough. I had to book a room last minute for the bridal party to get ready in, and it was perfect!! We also hosted a brunch in the hotel catered by Lago on Sunday morning, and it went perfectly as well. All the guests commented on how great the stay was, and all guests enjoyed WXYC bar both nights of the stay! SO highly recommended! Major perk.. the hotel is dog friendly!! August 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JohnB13 Very good! A few suggestions from a frequent visitor to this location: 1) the self-serve food is very good. But I would appreciate more variety in the salads, Field greens instead of iceberg lettuce would be a good start. 2) I know there is the xyz bar in the enrance area, but the music volume makes it diificult to have a .conversation with the check-in desk August 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bucky62 Minor adjustments needed. Overall, very clean and pleasant. Stayed on the 5th floor and the water pressure in the bathroom sink was very bad. Water pressure in the shower was fine. I was in 521 and my brother-in-law was in 517. He experienced the same thing. There is also not enough light in the immediate shower area. August 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Basia523 Won't Return There are 3 reasons I won't return to this property. First is location - it's 2 blocks away from a really nasty neighborhood that my GPS took me through from 3 different locations. Second, the parking situation is awful. Too expensive and too confusing and walking from the parking lot in this neighborhood late at night alone is not worth it. And lastly, the free internet kicked me off constantly. Plenty of other options. I booked 2 nights but left after 1. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RR2014AAA Aloft Cleveland Stay Staff was great. They were very helpful. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gabby99 Cool new place right on the Lake We looked for many hotels for our Wedding Package which included a multiple day purchase for 30 + rooms. Aloft was attentive to all of us at every turn of the experience. From offering to deliver packages to ensuring the right transportation company contacted us and was on time exceeded our expectations. Nice Job, keep up with great work ! August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by OHBIlly Very walkable the hotel is in an area were walking is better than driving. August 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MichaelD12 Great Value for the Price Really enjoyed my stay. Great restaurants and a happening scene close by. But there is also a train that can get a little noisy if you are sensitive to that ... August 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisa242422 Great experience - modern hotel The hotel was modern, clean, and overall very pleasant. The front desk staff seemed tired when I checked, and I wished they had complimentary breakfast, but otherwise I loved my stay. The room was great and the location was great too. Very close to the water which was relaxing and walking distance from most things in downtown Cleveland (including 4th St which had plenty of restaurants). Friends said there is a train that goes by, so try not to stay on the side facing the train. Otherwise, highly recommended! July 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by AverageAccomidations Great look but very average I really wanted to like the hotel as it has a very good look to it. But functionality was lacking. Simple things like figuring out the elevator. I actually had to think to figure out what button to push. Room lighting was poor. And if you got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, the light would engulf the whole room disturbing my partner. Just lots of little functional things where awkward. July 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Maureen1778 This hotel was a disappointment With the exception of the staff this hotel, in my opinion, suffers from faux everything. The breakfast is re-heated, and your name is called out - just like in school. There is only one chair in the room, the "desk" chair. There is no upholstered chair in which you can curl up and read. But, there isn't any space in this small room for a chair. The "bathroom" counter space is approx. 2 ft by 2.5 ft. which is much too small to accommodate toiletries, cosmetics and hair equipment. The only light for the sink was attached to a loud exhaust fan that serviced the toilet and shower, in slightly separate areas. It was impossible to turn on that light to do my hair and make-up without that annoying noise from the fan. There is not a single drawer in the entire space. July 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JosephW1107 Leaves something to be desired. 2am wake-up by passing trains. 6:30am wake-up by a broken alarm clock that I took to staff and was not replaced while I was there. "Green" card declining room housekeeping was supposed to earn $5.00 credit never was given on final bill. Valet parking is almost mandatory based on pricing structures and upon leaving found the valet had curbed my left rear tire twice. Lucky there was no damage but it was obvious since I had just cleaned my vehicle before arriving. July 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BettyJune Saturday Breakfast rush My run downstairs to grab two cups of coffee took 30 minutes. Kitchen was understaffed and gentleman at front desk- 20 feet away- was oblivious. I went over to him and complained about the empty coffee urns and he responded by offering free lattes. He made no effort to solve the larger problem. There were no guests at the front desk and he was simply standing there. July 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by tb123 Anniversary Weekend The location of the hotel was conveniently located close to the Warehouse District and Public Square and access to the RTA was right in front of the hotel. The view of the river and the lake will be wonderful when all of the construction has been completed. The room was comfortable. The only thing missing was some sort of a dresser. The reason I would not recommend this hotel is because the noise levels exceeded what we expected. There was noise from the bar/restaurants downstairs that went on well into the morning hours and from the trains that went by quite often. Our bed shook whenever a train went by, which was a little worrisome. Also, we took a tour on Lolly the Trolley. To get to the Powerhouse, we had to drive because there is no walking or water route to get over there easily. There should be some sort of shuttle to the other side of the river for hotel guests. When I book a room downtown, it is to avoid driving. With that said, the staff were polite and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. If it had not been for the noise, I would have recommended this hotel. July 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Hannah629 Breakfast I really feel we paid 200 for this hotel we should of got a complimentary breakfast and should not of had cold coffee served to us?? gave 4 star on the staff for they were all helpful. July 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by bipsy Interesting Not what I expected nor what I prefer July 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by wedd2014 Hotel was good, vvalet not so much Stayed at the Hotel for wedding which was held there. Everything was perfect. Ceremony was held outside and setting was beautiful. Food and service was excellent. Hotel rooms were very nice and clean. Only problem was the valet had limited (4) carts , which were always in use by other guest and were not able to help with getting our things to and from the room. We were a part of the wedding and had several items to take in. Asked the front desk for assistance regarding the need for a cart on our departure because we had several items to take home. Was told they only have 4 carts and if a guest take them and don't return them there was nothing they could do about it. The hotel is on the second level which requires taking elevator. July 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by tc07 Great decor, good food, friendly staff The only complaint I have is related to our conference in the Tactic room. The breakfast was late, & the server was not as responsive with replenishing items (coffee cream, coffee, etc). We had to ask her to replenish things. Also, our conference was scheduled to end at 3:00, & the server took all beverages away around 2:00, which seemed inappropriate. July 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by StevenD24 Great Hotel in the 'Revived' city of Cleveland First timer in a 'Loft' property, with my wife on a mixed pleasure and business trip. We were lucky enough to be on a high floor, with a nice view. I did not experience any of the 'thin walls' noise I saw in other reviews about this property - everything was quiet and we slept well. As long as you have a car, this property is a 4-5 minute drive to Cleveland's downtown area, the Stadiums, and 2 of Cleveland's big museums - Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Science Museum. Staff was friendly and helpful, and the guest privileges to use the gym on the level below the property are also a big plus. (This is a full service private gym, that is 'in addition' to the hotel's mini 24 hour fitness center with the standard 3-4 pieces of equipment.) I would definitely recommend this location, and will try out other Loft property's around the country. July 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by johnnyATL Trendy hotel, good bargain option to the W. Just a step down from most W Hotels, but also a full step down in price. Love that they give you the little extras like free bottled water and in-room wifi. Pretty cool having a pool table in the bar area as well. July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by steelers43 restaurants the restaurants affiliated with hotel do not open early enough.. Very disappointed in this July 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Cyclist14 Entertainment District Great location if the focus of your trip is to party. July 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SYSCODave Concert at Progressive field This was our first time at ALOFT. The hotel is very trendy, A comfertable king size bed and a very nice shower. The property is a little off the beaten path ( less than 5 min walk to the square). once the flats get going this will be ground zero for entertainment. We walked all around downtown and returned about 1 am and felt safe the whole way. July 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mycenaean Downtown stay We stayed downtown because we were going to a show. We live only 30 mins. Away, but love staying downton. July 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tim10 Great Great hotel for business travel. I stay here often when travelling to Cleveland. July 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by nautigalsfun weekend blitz went there for a quick weekend to see the wonderful things cleveland has to offer. Aloft was with in walking distance of most of the things we wanted to do. the staff was excellent. room comfort amazing. valet parking can't be beat. bar/restaurant seemed a little "stuffy", but we are pretty simple people. July 18, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by louisvilleB Party Central? The room and bathroom were great and clean. However, they had a party in the bar in the lobby and I could hear the music and people well into the night. I had a very difficult time sleeping. The people were spilling outside so either they need better windows or better walls! July 14, 2014

Pay your tribute on Remembrance Day with this poignant £5 coin
On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, the guns across Europe fell silent. After more than four years of bitter fighting, the 'Great War' was finally over. The first Armistice Day was remembered the following year and often known as Remembrance Day after the Second World War to recognise the fallen in two World Wars and other conflicts.
Poppies grow naturally in conditions of disturbed earth. The destruction wrought by the Napoleonic Wars transformed bare land into fields of poppies; a process repeated by the ravages of the First World War - a sea of red flowers springing up across the barren battlefields of Northern France and Flanders where nothing else would grow. The poppy's significance as a symbol of memorial was recognised by Canadian Army surgeon John McRae in his poem In Flanders Fields and came to represent the sacrifice of his comrades. Glyn Davies' moving composition beautifully portrays the transience of life; a fitting tribute to those who made such a selfless sacrifice.

First Assassin's Creed II DLC Out Next Week
Return to Renaissance Italy on January 28.
It won't be long before you're able to venture back into Renaissance Italy. Ubisoft has announced the release date for the first batch of Assassin's Creed II DLC.
According to a recent tweet, the Battle of Forli will be out next week. It will star Ezio alongside Machiavelli and Caterina Sforza as they battle the Orsi brothers, and will contain six new memories, including one with Leonardo da Vinci's flying machine.
The Battle of Forli is one of two packs of downloadable content. The other will be out in February, and will open up the area of Florence that was roped off in the main game. Both pieces of content were originally planned for inclusion in the main game, but ended up being cut for time.
The Battle of Forli will be out January 28 for PS3 ($4.00) and Xbox 360 (320 Microsoft Points).

I'm starting to notice a pattern in the negative comments. People whining because it isn't free and that games are getting shorter because publishers are cutting content. In case you haven't noticed, the game is already really fricken long. I just got it and have been playing for about 5 hours and I haven't even beat the 5th memory segment. There is a hell of a lot of stuff to do in the game.
Secondly, the DLC is cheap! I am going to get this because it is so cheap and it will give me more of a reason to continue playing this already awesome game.
Yeesh...Posted: Jan 25, 2010 12:00AM PST by corbeaunoir
*sigh* look, this isn't hard to figure out. If these DLC episodes are supposedly what 'completes' the game, it logically stands that the game without the DLC isn't complete. Which couldn't be further from the truth - the plot ultimately progresses fluidly (and there's a good 20 hours worth of it, at that). There was absolutely nothing of significance that happens in AC2 that ended up getting omitted out of the overall story on the backs of these two memory blocks - was there seriously any point when you were running through Rome where you thought "OH MAN THE PROGRESSION OF THE GAME COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY LOST ME AT THIS POINT, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON"?. These are ultimately just sideplots that happen to be set in the middle of the story; they're thus EXTRA content and ergo entirely optional - they're no more a desperate cash cow than quite literally every other DLC ever released. They contribute next to nothing to the story as a whole; if anything it probably made sense for them to be omitted from the primary game. Imagine if they had the Point Lookout DLC as part of the original vanilla version of Fallout 3 - don't you think it'd be kind of weird to have the game world suddenly take a big hours-long tangent out in the middle of a swamp only to find that everything you've done there ultimately has no real consequence on the game's primary progression? It just dosen't fit all that well with the rest of the game on the first playthrough - hence why instead of Bethesda sitting on their asses for a year or so waiting to make their DLC content to attach to the original game before releasing it at all they offered it up incrementally after the initial release for those already familiar with the game and thus can be more open to the idea of completely new, unrelated gameplay being introduced. It's the same thing with these AC2 memories; progressing up to the point where the memory corruption occurs only to fart around for another two memory blocks doing nothing of any real consequence to the final showdown the whole game has been built up to would likely feel odd and kinda anticlimactic.
I seriously can't emphasize this enough, if the DLC dosen't have any significant effect on the vanilla game (which these don't by any stretch of the imagination), there's no reason whatsoever for you to feel ripped off by them not being in the vanilla game - particularly when there's already so much content in the original game to begin with. Now if they removed the very last memory block and then sold it as a DLC, *that* would be a sleazy attempt to get some extra cash.
Tristessa has a good point that most people have been missing.Posted: Jan 24, 2010 12:00AM PST by Shadow13th
Poor Ubi, they mentioned how these episodes were cut fromt he game because of time and suddenly every one thinks they deserve them for free. As Tristessa mentioned, rewind the clock a bit and if AC 2 came out on cartridge you would never have these episodes, they would be lost to the cutting room floor forever. I think the chance a developer has to add content after a games release is a wonderful opportunity to be able to revisit ideas that they ran out of time for.
All games have ideas that had to be dropped, that's the nature of development. Let's not punish developers for taking advantage of the opportunity to include content after release. Especially content so reasonably priced as this.
I was honestly expecting $5 to $10 each.
Won't be getting this....Posted: Jan 23, 2010 12:00AM PST by kev873
I won't be getting this. The price is cheap which is good but oh well. I played the game and liked it, but it was WAY to easy. There was no challenge whatsoever. The biggest challenge was flying the flying machine lol. If this was suppose to be in the game, it should alteast be free for everyone that bought it brand new.They should have included a code for a free download for when this came out. Or what they should have done is delayed the game until it was finished. Not rush it out so people can buy it for the holiday season. If its a great game people are going to buy it no matter what time of year it is. Infact, if they waited till Feb/March, thats when people are getting their tax returns. Personally thats why I think some games were delayed until tax return time.
Oh well, Mass Effect 2 comes out and i'll be too busy with that game to care about this DLC. Maybe next time, Ubisoft will wait until a game is finished before releasing it.
ABOUT FUCKING TIMEPosted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by GETTODACHAPPA
damn finally we see some DLC for AC2
HAAAAAAPosted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by Spacejunk
What a shady way to operate... cut content to make a release date, then sell that content after it's release. Games are getting shorter and shorter because of this, but making more and more money in the long run.
Hmmm. Maybe it's not such a bad way to do business after all?
This is why I hate DLC!Posted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by kscripter
If it was suppose to be in the game, why do we have to pay more for it.
@ZentiusPosted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by irishriot
What kind of a question is that? Of course not. However, the article states the areas were cut for time, not because they were unfinished/unpolished/beta areas. I don't think this is Ubisoft being benevolent to gamers in terms of not wanting to give gamers crappy content - it's them cutting costs upfront by not delaying the ship date and knowing people will still pay for cut content later in DLC form.
And yes, in the grand scheme of things, it's not a bad price for DLC. That being said, the DLC will likely be short in length. Also, it's not like they would have charged $8 more for the game if the release date had been pushed back...
AhhhhPosted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by HeavensValcrist
I'll buy but really? Is the excuse really cut for time or did they just want more money? It could go both ways. Posts like this always make videogame companies look sooo shady and greedy
Agreed with evolvingtenkenPosted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by jcm1981
I wonder how hard it is to write things like "were cut for time" anymore. If anything, games that got pushed past the holiday season, such as Bioshock 2 and Heavy Rain, show us that some publishers were willing to go beyond the traditional sales season, particualarly when that behemoth Modern Warfare 2 came out in November.
It's too hard to buy this argument anymore. Gamers have consistently shown they will purchase quality titles no matter the release date.
Cut for time? More likePosted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by EvolvingTenken
cut to make more money. What a joke.
DLCPosted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by Zentius
@irishriot would you have been satisfied if they put these 2 DLC's in the game, unfinished and unpolished? i would have been sorely disappointed. I'm glad they held them back because they weren't finished. it just goes to show that ubisoft respects it's fans enough to actually want to put out quality, finished work rather than half assed mediocrity.
not to mention 8 dollars for 2 DLC's is MUCH MUCH cheaper than alot of other DLC for other games.
Damn Microsoft Points!!!Posted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by Her0icPlane
I have 310 microsoft points right now, but have to buy another 500 points to make up for the 10 I'm missing. :(
WTFPosted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by RyebreadHayabusa
The reasonable price is due to the fact this shit should have been included in the retail version.
If they admitted that it should be free bottom line...
@ StrykeForcePosted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by Ultimax27
I have to agree. While I loved Assassin's Creed II and really wouldn't mind diving back into that world for some bite-sized missions, I'll be way too involved with Mass Effect II to care for a while. Will definitely get at some point though.
Will be getting it.Posted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by Hellslinger1
Loved that game to death.
Cant waitPosted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by jeef86
im pretty pumped bout this dlc i loved the main game and i cant wait to see what the dlc was supposed to bring to the story. The reason its so cheap is cause it was supposed to be content that was in the game for launch but they didnt have time/money or whatever to put it in the game and apparently each of these is supposed to add several hours of gameplay from what ive read so definately lookin foward to them :)
Wont be getting this any time soonPosted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by StrykeForce01
With mass effect 2 releasing on the same date, I will absolutely not be getting this (also including the fact that when I finished the game I was done with it).
Nice to see the low price on it, I hope its not because it is short?

Landrieu agrees to 4 Louisiana Senate race debates
Published: Tuesday, August 5, 2014 at 9:21 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 5, 2014 at 9:21 a.m.
BATON ROUGE — U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu has agreed to four TV debates leading up to the Nov. 4 election.
The Democratic incumbent is in a tight race, seeking a fourth term against two Republican challengers.
Landrieu's campaign announced today she'll participate in an Oct. 2 New Orleans debate hosted by WDSU-TV, an Oct. 27 New Orleans debate hosted by WWL-TV and an Oct. 29 Baton Rouge debate hosted by Raycom Media, LSU's journalism school and WRKF.
The senator also agreed to a Monroe debate with KNOE-TV and KALB-TV, but a final date hasn't been set.
Landrieu's closest competitor, U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, hasn't announced what debates he'll attend. Tea party favorite Rob Maness has said he's participating in the first three and is expected to agree to the Monroe date as well.

To estimate the odds of breast cancer subtypes in minority populations versus non-Hispanic (NH) whites stratified by socioeconomic status (SES) [a composite of individual-level SES (insurance status) and area-level SES (median household income quartile from 2000 U.S. Census data)] using a large nationwide cancer database. We used the National Cancer Data Base to identify breast cancer cases diagnosed in 2010 and 2011, the only 2 years since U.S. cancer registries uniformly began collecting HER2 results. Breast cancer cases were classified into five subtypes based on hormone receptor (HR) and HER2 status: HR+/HER2−, HR+/HER2+, HR−/HER2+ (HER2-overexpressing), HR−/HER2− (TN), and unknown. A polytomous logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) comparing the odds of non-HR+/HER2-subtypes to HR+/HER2− for racial/ethnic groups controlling for and stratifying by SES, using a composite of insurance status and area-level income. Compared with NH whites, NH blacks and Hispanics were 84 % (OR = 1.84; 95 % CI 1.77–1.92) and 17 % (OR = 1.17; 95 % CI 1.11–1.24) more likely to have TN subtype versus HR+/HER2−, respectively. Asian/Pacific Islanders (API) had 1.45 times greater odds of being diagnosed with HER2-overexpressing subtype versus HR+/HER2− compared with NH whites (OR = 1.45; 95 % CI 1.31–1.61). We found similar ORs for race in high and low strata of SES. In a large nationwide hospital-based dataset, we found higher odds of having TN breast cancer in black women and of HER2-overexpressing in API compared with white women in every level of SES.

It is the prospect of rising interest rates that inspired me to take some action (that you know about) today to move my personal financial situation onto a more rock-like and less sand-like foundation. Such action was not expressing my opinion of that company--just my caution.

Pizzeria Luzzi: "Very cheap pizza" Pizzeria Trattoria Luzzi Tip by Sarita76
Pizzeria Trattoria Luzzi, Rome: 5 reviews and 6 photos
Eating a simple pizza has become a quite expensive experience here in Rome, especially since we have the Euro. This is one of the few places where you can still get a decent pizza for 4-5 euros. Yes, the environment may be not very classy and the service can be quite odd at times, but the most important thing is that their pizza tastes good :)
Address: Via San Giovanni in Laterano, 88
Price Comparison: least expensive
Directions: very close to the Colosseum
Phone: 06 7096332
Price: less than US$10

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
This is the latest in a series (of indefinite length and regularity) of pieces looking at particular odd/strange/interesting instances of retroactively connecting different comic book characters (for instance, Uncanny X-Men #268 retroactively established that Wolverine knew both Captain America and the Black Widow from World War II). Here is an archive of all of the past pieces.
Today we reveal the unsurprising connection between Wolverine and Cable.
Wolverine's healing factor allows him to be alive for decades, so he is an EXTREMELY popular character for writers to retroactively reveal that Wolverine knows people.
Cable grew up in the future but traveled to the past in OUR past, so he also can connect to people in the past easily.
Combine the two and you get New Mutants #93, where the pair meet up…
After tangling with each other for a few more pages, the fight ends and we learn that they have a history…
In 1999, Joe Casey and Stephen Platt gave that history in Wolverine/Cable #1, which details when Cable first came into the present, hunting down a bad guy from the future.
Wolverine is sent after the bad guy by Department H…
Cable met an old soldier in the present and they had become friends. The soldier helped Cable fight the bad guy but he is killed by the bad guy. The bad guy prepares to kill Cable, as well, when…
And in the end, Cable and Wolverine get a little moment…
This connection is not a surprising one, but I figured I'd include it as an appetizer to the two Cable connections introduced in New Mutants #93 and Wolverine/Cable #1 that ARE surprising! You'll see them in a bit…
Meanwhile, if you have a suggestion for a future Foundationed Deep, drop me a line at email@example.com
Wolverine: Comicdom's answer to Kevin Bacon.
Even through all the bad art and dialogue, this connection is better than their Ultimate Universe connection. Spoiler alert, Cable IS Wolverine. *massive crowd groan* Not child. Not brother. Not even a clone. Him. I didn't look at the time and I can't really be bother to look it up, but whatever editor of the Ult X-Men book let that through needs a slap to the back of the head. But at least Liefeld wasn't drawing it.
The second story here was the very first Wolverine comic I ever read, reprinted in Wolverine Unleashed #50. I was thinking about it just the other day. Ahh nostalgia.
Certainly wasn't the high point of Casey's career, was it?
Strange, because I remember his Cable run being really good. It was ubndoubtedly helped by the Ladronn art, and also by having James Robinson set it up.
Off topic… but you should do an article on Who's artistic flash managed to hold up to the test of time. I Absolutely Loved Leifeld, McFarlane, and Lee… There was a Marvel House style that all had to adhere to, but these upstarts pushed the boundaries…. Who succeeded?
The last speech by Wolverine sums up perfectly why I don't care for the character. He is all flash and fury with no purpose. He does not even care whether there will be a reason for him and Cable to fight in the future, he just points out that it might easily turn out to be the case.
I think Brian owes us all an apology for exposing us to that much Liefeld art. God. I need a Gravol or something.
In the second to last Liefeld panel, does wolverine have a giant head on a regular body, or a regular sized head on a baby body? Discuss.
I'm seriously doubting that the term "Liefeld Apologist" will ever come to pass.
this just shows wolverine is the mu version of kevin bacon any character is six degress and yes has a connection to him including cable.
Might as well take the obvious ones out of the picture early!
haha liefeld's tiny feet drawings.. props to giving logan lots of body hair tho
Maybe I am alone in this, but early Liefeld is not that bad. He still has a shaky grasp of anatomy, but I am not someone that considers photo-realism to be a virtue in itself. There are lots of great comic artists that exaggerated their figures. His panel arrangements were fussy, but the story-telling is clear enough. Really, he is no worse than a lot of young artists.
Despite the poor printing and the ancient coloring, the L. Simonson/Liefeld sequence is vastly clearer than the Joe Casey/ Stephen Platt version of the same thing.
Maybe I am alone in this, but early Liefeld is not that bad. He still has a shaky grasp of anatomy, but I am not someone that considers photo-realism to be a virtue in itself. There are lots of great comic artists that exaggerated their figures.
The problem to me isn't that he exaggerated his figures. Kirby drew people with jagged teeth and fatl fingertips and square knees. He exaggerated foreshortening to ridiculous extremes and it worked. And he was not photorealistic. I don't think people are bashing Liefeld for not being photorealistic. Many popular artists are less photorealistic but are loved where Liefeld is reviled: Skottie Young, Humberto Ramos, Tim Sale, Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, and others. The difference is consistency. Good artists exaggerate in consistent ways from panel to panel, so you can tell the exaggerations are on purpose and calculated. Liefeld's exaggerations were inconsistent and random, showing it more likely to be a problem with skill. Relative heights change, body proportions, etc. People go from looking 6 feet tall to 9 feet tall. Even inconsistencies like that aren't bad if the work is meant to be surreal or dreamlike, but that wasn't the case here.
Really, he is no worse than a lot of young artists.
Look at the foreshortening on Wolverine's arm in the panel where he's throwing away the cigar. His hand actually gets smaller as it approaches the reader and his arm looks 12 inches long. I'm sorry but that is worse than a lot of young artists and shockingly amateurish.
I do agree that his work is clearer than Platt's though.
Sunspot's dialogue about how Cable is so much greater than Professor Xavier seems like painfully transparent shilling of the then-new character.
I was going to buy that issue of New Mutants back then, but it was sold out!
I'd love to get that Wolverine/ Cable book drawn by 'Splatt!'
Cable's outfit looks soooooooo stupid.
Yet I loved it in the 90's.
Actually, I think that panel looks like a giant-headed baby throwing a poop, but that is just me.
I am not saying that Liefeld is great by any stretch. It is just that he was a teenage pizza delivery guy less about a year before this got released. Of course it looks amateurish, he was effectively an amateur that Marvel handed an X-Book almost before he could legally buy a beer.
In the short-run, everyone made money. In the long-run, it wasn't so great for the comic business.

I get what you're saying, but I guess my problem is threefold. First, yes he was an amateur and just a pizza delivery guy, and a result was amateurish. I get that. But to me, even as an amateur, he was really, really bad. I'm saying this even given the lowered standards one should have for an amateur. If there is such a term as sub-amateur, I would apply it to Liefeld. I've seen many first works from authors, and that Wolverine foreshortening, along with many of Liefeld's other stuff, is incredibly bad. I've occasionally seen worse from amateurs but not often. And the amateurs I've seen who were worse were often copying Lee or Liefeld anyway.
Second, it's not just that he's amateurish, but that he's amateurish but was getting better money, opportunities, and acclaim than the talented pros. This, however, is not his fault, but in a cosmic justice way it bugs me just the same. Genuinely talented people like Simonson get the shaft in favor of this guy.
Third, his absolute lack of commitment to even TRYING. Yes, he was an amateur, but not only do I think he was bad even by amateur standards, he is incredibly LAZY. He swipes to a huge degree. Instead of trying to improve in any way and challenge himself to learn to draw poses or scenes that posed problems for him, he just kept swiping panels from other artists to get the job done or covering up his flaws by just not drawing feet at all. There are some early works by artists like Barry Smith that were pretty amateurish and unoriginal but that you can see an effort to improve in. Barry Smith kept evolving and improving every year. You could see him trying to push his boundaries and get better and to develop a style more his own. You can see his competence improve. Liefeld you don't see that with at all.
I'm not gonna lie, I love Stephen Platt, but this Cable and Wolvie one-shot is clearly rushed. Little known fact – Leinel Yu lists him as one of his favorite artists, so much so that he has every book he's either done interiors or covers for (which isn't really that hard considering he wasn't very prolific in the day before going on to become a concept and storyboard artist in Hollywodd, much like Steve Skroce)
Look at the foreshortening on Wolverine's arm in the panel where he's throwing away the cigar. His hand actually gets smaller as it approaches the reader and his arm looks 12 inches long.
I just figured that was a baby dressed up as Wolverine.
And, on the other side of the fence, I really like him. But then again, I can appreciate a lot of different artists from pretty much any decade. I still say Mike Sekowsky is the most underrated artist of the Silver Age.
I'm not going to say he's the best Image artist, let alone one of the top 100 artists of all time, but I'd say you can clearly see he's got potential from these early issues, plus he's got a cool pop-art/experimental vibe to his work that none of the other Image artists have. His failing is that he tried to go slick and look more like Jim Lee while dropping that more pop-art aspects and never actually receiving formal training.
I like him because of his pure excess, and there's just something fun and exciting about all of those pre X-odus comics coming out around those time. I'll admit they're a guilty pleasure, but I still bristle a bit when people use the same 2 hackneyed, baseless, mean-spirited jokes whenever Liefeld comes up in these articles, as if he's the worst artist of all time. He did have some solid ideas for characters that are being used well today (Deadpool, maybe not so much, Cable – I don't think I've read a story in the past decade where he wasn't at least mediocre-level or better written, Peter David has gotten decent mileage out of Shatterstar, Brian Wood and X-Force writers have used Domino to good effect, and fuck the haters, I LIKE Stryfe in post of his post-Liefeld story appearances). Plus, I think there's a certain energy to his art, specifically action scenes.
Someone this past year (and indy artist, iirc) actually had an excellent series of blog pieces on why Liefeld is cruelly underrated, but for the life of me, I can't remember who posted them or where to find them. You should check them out; they're certainly more well written than the 40 Reasons to Hate Liefeld "articles."
@Saul Goode: I'm no Liefeld fan, but I'll say two things for the guy.
1) As you mentioned, he created a buttload of characters that later creators made awesome.
2) I loved him when I was twelve. But I think a lot of people would have to sheepishly raise their hands if you asked who was.

Great product and looks goodI bought this recently from my girlfriend. Well the product looks really good with a nice velvety finish. The cutouts for the keys, camera and charging point are all at the right places. Was expecting it to be something like the Casemate Barely There cover for my Galaxy SII. Well on overall looks basis, the phone with this cover looks bad ass and my girlfriend is really happy, but I would have liked for it to be made of a more tougher material like the casemate barely there ones. But overall I would recomment this to all the Galazy Ace owners.

Good news, bad news: most Kindergarten-aged kids in America are still getting all their shots. But the CDC continues to worry about those stubborn pockets with low rates of vaccination (and, presumably, high rates of uncooperative parents).
In 1948, Idaho Fish and Game parachuted beavers into the state's backcountry — a novel way to transplant "problem" animals that were clashing with homeowners. Specially designed wooden boxes were used, with the help of a beaver "test pilot" named, naturally, Geronimo.

Perhaps it's because we've seen so many thefts here at Giz that are worthy of being turned into films, that everything else pales into insignificance. On second thought—nah, this cellphone thief really is that dumb.

UConn still top dog as 2010-11 opens
Auriemma swears Huskies will lose a game, but 78-game win streak intact for now
Originally Published: October 15, 2010By Mechelle Voepel | ESPN.com
Now we'll watch the race begin in earnest for everyone jockeying for the, um, top underdog spot in women's college basketball. Practice officially starts Friday. And who really wants to be No. 1? Isn't it easier to be one of the teams outside the top perch, poised to strike?
At least in the first poll, the penthouse residents are probably still going to be the UConn Huskies, winners -- had you somehow not heard -- of 78 games in a row. Now, usually, coach Geno Auriemma doesn't shy ...

'Fast Five' sequel scheduled for Memorial Day 2013
Get ready for another for high-speed adventure with Toretto and his crew. Universal has staked out Memorial Day, May 24, 2013 for the sixth film in the "Fast and the Furious" franchise.
Earlier this year, it was reported that star Vin Diesel came back to the "Fast and Furious" series only if a trilogy of new films were part of the deal.
Diesel is back on board for the film, but the rest of the cast isn't set yet. But the film will likely retain many of the players from this year's hit "Fast Five." It co-starred Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Paul Walker and Ludacris. The final scene of that film hinted at the return of series regular Michelle Rodriguez as well.
"Fast Five" scribe Chris Morgan is currently working on the script.
"Fast Five" has grossed nearly $600 million worldwide.

I saw a car in West Virginia one time with a sign in the window..."bad moter" that was for "sell". If I would've been able to find a GOOD "moter" I just might have bought it.

There's a reason I prefer their Spanish name, tortugas.

When the Red Sox arrived at the GM meetings in Indian Wells, Calif., without a general manager of their own, it was more than understandable. Theo Epstein had resigned his position just a week before the start of the meetings and finding a replacement in such a short time frame was out of the question.
Now, however, the Red Sox are about to report to the winter meetings, which begin Monday in Dallas, and they still don't have a general manager on board.
Jim Beattie, the clear choice of CEO and team president Larry Lucchino, met with Lucchino for a third time Thursday night. But according to baseball sources, chairman Tom Werner and principal owner John Henry are less enthusiastic about Beattie.
Beattie's first interview for the job came three weeks ago. If ownership believed him to the be the best choice, isn't it logical to assume he would already be on the job?
Without a full-time GM, the Red Sox will head to Dallas with a group effort, led by Lucchino himself. The same team which tried to go with a bullpen-by-committee in 2003 is now, for the time being anyway, operating with a general manager-by-committee.
Joining Lucchino will be three members of the baseball operations department which represented the Sox at the GM meetings -- special assistant Jed Hoyer, farm director Ben Cherrington and director of international scouting Craig Shipley.
(Peter Woodfork, another special assistant who was part of the contingent in California, has since left to join former Red Sox assistant general manager Josh Byrnes in Arizona).
Lucchino and the baseball operations staff will be joined by special advisers Bill Lajoie and Jeremy Kapstein, whose roles have grown in the absence of a full-time GM.
To a man, members of the Red Sox front office maintain that they can operate efficiently, even without a titular leader.
"It's business as usual," declared Kapstein.
Lucchino, whose management style is notoriously hands-on, will lead the contingent, and will oversee the club's two biggest issues in Dallas -- possible trade of Manny Ramirez and negotiations with free agent outfielder Johnny Damon.
Lajoie, who has more than 50 years invested in the game and was Epstein's most-trusted talent evaluator, will lend his expertise and mine his many contacts. If Lajoie were so inclined, he might be the logical successor to Epstein, at least for a year. But at 71 and having survived a medical scare, he does not wish to live in Boston full-time and wonders if the job hasn't become too demanding, given his age and health.
Kapstein's experience also should come in handy. One of the first agents on the professional sports scene, he's an expert negotiator with plenty of friends throughout the game.
Since Epstein left, Hoyer has become the point man in the organization in dealing with agents.
Cherrington will be asked to provide background and scouting reports on the team's own prospects, as well as those of other organizations, while Shipley, a former player, will be leaned on for talent evaluation.
One opposing GM wonders: "If you want to make a deal with Boston, who are you supposed to talk to?"
Answer: Any or all of them. Negotiations and trade talks will be a group discussion. That's the case with most clubs, as it's common for several members of a front office team to participate in talks. One-on-one negotiations are rare.
Said a Red Sox source: "I think we're fine for the time being. We made the [Josh] Beckett trade [with Florida] and [not having a GM] wasn't an issue. We can continue to operate this way next week.
"Sooner or later, we're going to need someone to lead the way. We've lost people [to other teams and resignations], and someone needs to hire new people to replace them. But for now, we'll be fine."
Not that they have any choice.
