Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
i dont feel safe here i have been here for almost 5 months and there has been break ins a sexual assualt and tonight and atempt to break in
You are contractually bound for the term of the lease. You may try to surrender the keys to the landlord which may, if accepted, negate the lease. Didn't you check out the area before you moved in. Give your landlord notice that you intend to cancel the lease, you may argue that the incidents equate to a constructive eviction. Frankly, how bad it's going to be in attempting to break the lease will depend on your landlords attitude. Let him know the building is not secure and as such uninhabitable based on the facts. Ask his to list the property for rent or if you can sublet. Kill him/her with kindness, but be firm and lay out the facts in a logical way in chronological order. You moved in and A, B , C and D happened on such and such a date. Tell him/her you don't feel safe. You will probably have to give him a chance to cure, by improving safety, security bars on doors and windows, floodlights, alarm, etc. Tell him or her you are considering placing the rent due into an escrow account until the issue is resolved. The landlord may just let you out. But be ready. Call a local bank and ask them about escrow accounts and then look on line at the Ohio Revised Code for Landlord/Tenant obligations and follow the law.

Hi Stephanie, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I agree with my colleague's advice to approach the landlord and ask to be released from the remainder of your lease, citing all the criminal incidents which have occurred. Killing with kindness is a good suggestion because the landlord isn't required to just release you from your contractual obligation. If you are able, you may even want to offer a monetary "settlement" in exchange for the landlord's agreement to release you - 1 or 2 months rent, for instance. If you are going to do that, be sure to get the arrangement documented in writing - i.e. in exchange for X payment, landlord agrees to terminate tenancy effective on X date and releases you from all obligations under the lease.
If this doesn't work, I would also agree to approach the situation as if the premises is uninhabitable - Ohio Revised Code Section 5321.04 (http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/5321.04) requires the landlord to keep the premises in a fit & habitable condition. Section 5321.07 (http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/5321.07) requires the tenant to give written notice of any condition the tenant believes is in violation of 5321.04 and allow the landlord a reasonable amount of time to "cure" the condition. As my colleague mentioned, this may include beefing up security measures at the property. If the landlord takes no action to remedy the problematic condition, you have various remedies available to you in that section, including either terminating the lease or putting your rent in escrow with the county court. 5321.08 addresses putting rent in escrow (http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/5321.08).
Please note that the remedies listed in 5321.07 are not applicable in all instances, and if you do not follow proper procedure you may subject yourself to substantial liability in terms of a breach of your lease. I would advise getting a personal consultation with a local landlord/tenant attorney to make sure you are following the proper procedure and to mitigate your potential liability to the landlord. Many offer free initial consultations - you can search for an attorney on Avvo or call your local bar association for a referral. I hope this was helpful, and best of luck to you.
I am licensed in the State of Ohio, posting a response to your question or issue does not create an attorney-client relationship and I AM NOT providing you legal advice.

the sultan's timing
on facebook boo chanco posted a portion of former senator rene saguisag's email on the sabah issue that starts thus:
I have yet to read an account on Sabahans pining for our export-quality type of governance, after 20 years of Marcos-Imelda and ten of GMA-Mike.
Many columnists have again found something they don't understand and proceed to explain it, validating once again that media is the plural of mediocre…
and ends with:
The instant experts of three or four weeks may soon realize that only the tip of the tip of the iceberg they may have seen and should not be so forward with their explanations, suggestions and brickbats. Mike, of UP and Cornell, Nina, of UP, and Letty, of Wellesley and Sorbonne, were serious Senators. We should also engage Muslims Amina, of UP, and Adel, of Harvard, for their inputs.
We in our bivouacs may not irresponsibly continue blasting the Prez in his commanding heights, who may see more and farther. We should not casually provoke war and reprisals
so i'm not going there, except to say that i hope the former senator would be less cryptic and speak more plainly about what it is we don't know about the sabah claim so that maybe we can begin to appreciate how the president has handled/is handling the crisis, including the "hopeless cause" part of it.
meanwhile, i've been waiting for media to ask the sultan or the princess about the timing of the sabah incursion. why now, why not last year, why not later this year. clearly it catches the president at a very bad time when, on the one hand, he's campaigning for a 12-0 win of his senatorial slate come may, and on the other, things were looking up for the malaysia-brokered bangsamoro deal with the MILF, or so we were being told. the stakes are so high, it would seem that the prez has reason to cry conspiracy.
The Sulu Sultanate Quarrel and Wider Implications
Salonga explains Sabah claim
23 Responses to the sultan's timing
March 6, 2013 at 8:49 am
In September 2002, Raissa Robles wrote that Arroyo pledged to help the heirs of the late Sultan Jamalul Kiram II on their claim.
In February 2013, she might have fulfilled that pledge despite knowing this:
During the lunch, Mrs Arroyo learned that the special power-of-attorney granted by the sultanate to the Philippine government to pursue the sovereignty rights over Sabah expired in 1982.
Please read it here…
March 6, 2013 at 9:07 am
In April 1989:
Sultan Jamalul Kiram, III, who said that he is the "reigning" Sultan of Sulu, told newsmen in a press conference that the Sultanate has revoked the authority given to the Philippine government to act on its behalf in working for the recovery of North Borneo.
Kiram said that a resolution adopted by the Sultanate's Ruma Bechara (Cabinet) on Feb. 12, 1989 mandated the Sultanate to pursue on its own claim over North Borneo "through all available means." The latest resolution, according to Kiram revoked another resolution dated Aug. 29, 1962 which gave the government the right to assert sovereignty over North Borneo. North Borneo includes the present Malaysian state of Sabah.
…Jamalul Kiram said that copies of the Sultanate's resolution saying that it has now assumed sovereignty over Sabah and other territories of the old Sultanate were already sent to the United Nations, foreign governments and the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC).
On that day too:
When asked if the Sultanate would resort to the use of force in order to pursue its claim, Kiram said, "Yes, if there is no alternative."
Kiram said that as of now it has no armed forces of its own but added that it could easily mobilize about a million people in Sulu and Basilan in time of war. He said that the old Sultanate includes Sabah, Palawan, Basilan, Tawi-Tawi, Sulu and the Zamboanga peninsula.
In February 2013, with perceived futile peaceful efforts in their claim and with perceived marginalization from peace talks, the Sultanate having mustered an army for their Sabah homecoming practically went home to their land.
Please read the news here:

March 2, 2013…
Prof. Harry Roque said Philippine documents to support the Sabah claim got burned, especially about the Lease of Sabah to Malaysia (not transfer of ownership). He relies on Malaysian documents which he hopes will surface when the case is filed with the ICJ. Those were the same documents Malaysia had provided the ICJ with her territorial dispute against Indonesia. (Live interview on "Pasada 630 Sabado" on March 2, 2013)
I believe the DOJ is gearing up to finally go to the ICJ for the settlement of the issue.
March 6, 2013 at 9:29 am
Bottom line is…
Malaysia will just repeat what she said in this document she submitted to the ICJ:
Overcoming Malaysia's arguments will persuade the Court to side with the Philippines, that is, if this Philippine Sabah claim will get to see the light of day in the ICJ.
I pray and hope, still, that the ICJ will eventually settle the issue.
However, the burnt documents (according to Prof. Harry Roque) which left us without proof of our claim and the contemporary International Law thinking that self-determination (UN-sanctioned Sabahan referendum in 1963) negates even true historical claims are legal hurdles the Philippines must contend with.
March 6, 2013 at 9:36 am
Again, pragmatism versus idealism is pitted against each other.
I believe Tita Cory and former DFA head Raul Manglapus already saw the "equation" before in their decision to drop the Sabah claim. The HOR then realized it too.
The Senate then, I believe, was the stumbling block…
Letting the Sabah claim, that the present Constitution allows, remain in the back burner for several years more…
much the same way as the fate of the constitutionally-provided anti-political dynasty…the "back burner policy" at work!
March 6, 2013 at 8:25 pm
The issue is involves Sabahans too. What do they want? That's what Kiram. Malaysia, and Philippines cannot ignore. Because the right to self-determination of peoples is now the gold standard for political status. Secondly, the heirs of the Sultan claim they own Sabah by historic title etc. There is another development in political thought – the right of indigenous people to their lands. Native title is what some call it. Although the kirams can claim that they owned sabah even before the existence of the republics of the Philippines and Malaysia, Sabah was already inhabited by more than a dozen tribes. They predate the kirams and the brunei sultanate. So that's another thing the kiram's will have to address as far as their pqnership claim is concerned. So ayan – self-determination and native titles are two of the things that stand in the way of Malaysia and the Philippines laying claim over Sabah and native title against the ownership claim of the kirams.
There is no doubt that there is a document between the kirams and the brits. There is dispute over itstranslation. To the kirams and the Phil govt. it was a lease agreement so the annual payments are rent and paying rent is proof that it was a lease. To Malaysia and the brits it was cession and the annual payments are perpetual subsidy in exchange for the cession and so the annual payments are proof of subsidy. Mag-aaway tayo dyan hanggang pumuti ang ating mga mata. Pwede din magkasundo tayo kung sino ang sovereign at ang may-ari ng Sabah. Pero magkasundo man tayo, kung ayaw ng mga Sabahans magpailalim o sumanib sa Pilipinas o sa Malaysia o di kaya gusto nilang maging independent, ang desisyon ay nasa Sabahans. Ang karapatan bilang peoples, ang karapatan pang tao, ay nasa kanila at hindi sa mga ibang gobyerno. Kung hindi natin kikilalahin ang karapatan ng mga sabahan mag desisyon sa kanilang political status, ibinabalik natin ang kapanahunan ng colonialismo. Ginagawa natin yun Philippine American War bilang isang Insurrection lang at binabalewala natin ang sakripisyo ng ginawa ng ating mga ninuno sa pagatalsik sa mga kastila at pagtatag ng isang estadong independyente.
March 7, 2013 at 10:19 am
Talagang napakasalimuot…
Una, pumayag ang Malaysia at ang Pilipinas sa time ni gloria arroyo na kilalanin si Jamalul Kiram III bilang Sultan ng Sulu.
May duda naman ngayon kung siya ang sultan.
Pangalawa, matagal nang pumayag ang Malaysia at ang Pilipinas sa SELF-DETERMINATION.
Mayroon nang referendum noong 1963. Ito ang panghahawakan ng Malaysia malamang. Takot ang Malaysia dahil napakarami ng Pilipino sa Sabah. Posible pa ang "sailing voters".
Ang Pilipinas naman maaaring gugustuhing magkaroon ng panibagong referendum (self-determination).
The decision of the Aquino-Laurel administration to resolve the North Borneo/Sabah problem "frontally" is well-taken. Certainly Malaysia subscribes as well to tbe principles of justice (called for in monetary settlements for the heirs of the Sultan of Sulu) and self-determination that from the very start the Philippines had bound itself to and consistently reaffirmed at every conference table from London to Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and the UN Assembly Hall.
While a "formal renunciation is indeed called for from the Philippines, there must also be insistence on "fresh options" afforded to the Sabahans for their future by way of a genuine referendum however superfluous Kuala Lumpur might regard this exercise.
The time for name-calling is past. 'Ihe ghosts of colonialism in the ASEAN mgion should be hnally laid to rest. Kuala Lurnpur and Manila should truly subordinate their respective "national interests" to the ASEAN common good or, better still, identify the former with the latter.

Mga paglilinaw din…
1. Walang nangyaring Sabah referendum noong 1963.
"No referendum or plebiscite was in fact held in Sabah and Sarawak…"
– Bob Reece on the Kitingan Case
2. Ito pa (Salamat @saxnviolins.)…
United Borneo Front (UBF) chairman Jeffrey Kitingan has disputed the context of the 1962 referendum which academics and Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak claim confirmed Sabahans' desire to be part of Malaysia.
"There has never been a referendum on Sabah as stated by some academics.
3. Survey lang ang nangyari noong 1963 para magkaroon ng "self-determination" (Salamat @Rene-Ipil.).
The maverick opposition leader also pointed out that the Prime Minister also needed to realize that Sabah belongs to the people of Sabah and is only part of Malaysia.
"Malaysia does not own Sabah as the Malaysia Agreement is yet to be implemented. Sabah is not a piece of lifeless property to be fought over between the Philippines (Sulu claim) and Malaya.
"Therefore, any talks between Malaysia/Malaya and the Philippines must include Sabah because only the people of Sabah can decide what they want. There has never been a referendum on Sabah as stated by some academicians," he said.
The so-called 'referendum' in 1962/3 is not a referendum but only a sampling survey of less than 4% of the Sabah population, he further pointed out.
– Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan being quoted
4. Ito ang pahapyaw na pamamaraan ng survey na inilahad ni Dr. Kitingan (Salamat @TonGuE-tWisTeD).
The so called 'referendum' in 1962/3 is NOT a referendum but only a sampling survey of about 4,000 people in 15 locations (lessthan 1 %) of the 467,000Sabah population. It is also not correct to state that 2/3 of the population agreed when only 1/3 agreed unconditionally.
5. At ito pa…survey lang siya na irregular at naisakatuparan sa maigsing panahon…
Indonesia and the Philippines had reservations about the findings of the UN survey teams and declined to welcome the new Federation of Malaysia because, in their view, the UN team had failed to comply with the agreements under the Manila Accord concerning a fresh approach, the presence of observers from the three countries to witness the proceedings and the timetable of operations which was cut from six weeks to ten days.

Sabah history by Rev. Fr. Pacifico A. Ortiz written in 1963…with my emphasis and italicized annotations:
In resumé, on the basis of the historical facts presented, there are solid reasons to sustain,
first, that the Deed of 1878 was a lease;
second, that even if it were a cession, it was null and void as such owing to non-observance of the formalities required (such as State Council's or Ruma Bechara"s affirmations of the cession deed to legalize and authenticate the Sultan's "more serious acts") and for lack of contractual capacity on the part of Overbeck and Dent;
third, that the Sultan, although he signed the Treaty of Capitulation of 1878 and constituted himself a loyal subject of Spain, and later, of the United States, remained the sovereign of North Borneo;
fourth, that the Sultanate was not extinguished (during that time) nor was the North Borneo territory ever abandoned in a manner that would entitle Great Britain to acquire it by occupation and/or prescription under international law;
fifth, that, therefore, the successors of Sultan Jamalul Alam since 1878 continue in possession of Borneo (most likely up to this day); and
sixth, that therefore, finally, if they cede North Borneo to the Philippine Government as they actually did sometime last summer (unfortunately, no longer in effect as one heir recently attested to because the power-of-attorney lapsed into expiration in 1982), the Philippine Government would then become the rightful sovereign thereover (presently, highly debatable…but proper "self-determination" by genuine methods will probably settle the issue).

His girlfriend suddenly insists that the two are married and announces her desire to become a fringed-and-ginghamed country-western singer, despite having little musical talent. His boss begins courting a co-worker and Ham is left to handle all the tedious work. His brother s lies put Ham in the middle of a divorce fight. What s a poor schmuck to do?Written with Kun s characteristic charm and humor, My Wife and My Dead Wife is a tribute to lost men everywhere.

text: I don't think it likely that Apple will change the price unless, literally, nobody buys it. I can't remember Apple lowering the price of a product after its release. Sometimes they have lowered the price of a replacement or the product when it was superseded (e.g. iPhone 4 when iPhone 4S came out).


text: We still don't know most of the subsidised contract prices for the UK as yet, but as of this morning, Apple started to offer the iPhone 4 for sale directly from its own site, sim-free.Obviously sim-free means subsidy free, which accounts for the hefty price tags. If you want a 16GB handset, that will set you back £499. A 32GB smartphone is yours for £599. Black only right now too, the white is listed as 'currently unavailable for pre-order'. September is being floated for that if you can wait, which is obviously a little frustrating.Of course, that's only the entry-level price. You'll need to get yourself a Micro Sim from somewhere to get networked, which may or may not work out cheaper in the long run, that's the risk you take. But at least you'll not be tied when Apple launches another new model during the life of your contract. If you fancied one of those coloured protective bumpers, you can pick one of those up at Apple too - that'll be another £25.Apple's announcement of iPhone 4 prices should also mean you can check out the contract deals this week, most of the networks holding back until the hardware costs were confirmed. Of course, O2 has already showed its hands and its reduced data deals, which you can check out here. Stay tuned for the rest very soon.

Instructing the 'right' expert is often no easy task. Whilst the 2005 Civil Justice Protocol for the Instruction of Experts to give Evidence in the Civil Courts has provided guidance to those instructing experts, there remain a myriad of practical problems for practitioners.
Experts can be, and often are, selected for poor reasons. This can be because, for example, a solicitor or firm may have worked with the expert previously (even though he may not be right for the matter in question) or the expert may have impressive and seemingly appropriate letters following his name.
The problem with selecting a 'good' expert is quite what constitutes 'good'. As with all of us, most experts engaged in litigation support work have some strengths and some weaknesses. In my view, the key issue should be to focus on selecting experts who are going to add real value to the case in question.
The qualities to look for when instructing experts include the following:
• Academic excellence
• Significant qualifications
• Practical experience (in industry/discipline in question)
• Length of experience (academic and practical)
• Litigation support experience
• Experience in precise issue at play
These are all qualities that can be gleaned from undertaking research into the individuals you might want to choose. Of course, it is essential to have on board an expert who is suitably qualified, who is at least reasonably experienced and who understands in some detail the nature of the issue(s) that they have been asked to comment upon.
These qualities, however, are not all that is required. The really key issue is what the expert produces. A 'good' expert will be able to:
• Write structured and persuasive reports
• Deal effectively in writing with another expert report (which will usually take an entirely opposing line)
• Perform effectively when producing a joint expert report
• Be a persuasive advocate/be 'good on his feet'.
The reports that experts produce are often the most important part of the litigation support work they do. A surprising number of experts write inadequate reports, which are over technical, not well put together or simply not sufficiently detailed. It is absolutely vital that experts produce (with our help) very clear and reasoned reports.
Of course, very few cases make it through to trial. Most are settled before then. This must mean that it is the report writing and our experts' dealings with other (opponent) experts that are key. You do not want to instruct an expert who might be 'railroaded' by a stronger character on the other side, but neither do you want to instruct an expert who comes across as wholly intransigent and inflexible.
The art of selection
Although organisations such as the Expert Witness Institute and the Academy of Experts are a good starting point in locating suitable experts, very often and quite understandably the information provided is general in nature, meaning that time is often spent/wasted in contacting apparently suitable experts only to ascertain that they are not, in fact, suitable to provide evidence as to the matter in question.
Sometimes the nature of the dispute makes choosing the expert quite straight forward. There are, for example, many decent forensic accountants to select from. Where the selection is less clear cut, it is savvy to refer to the Institute, for example, and then make and trawl through lists, making calls and asking for details of experience.
There is a good deal of luck involved in selecting an entirely new expert. This is one reason why it is advisable to compile an accurate and constantly updated list of experts to use and not to use (with appropriate comments attached).
Instructing an expert can be quite a tortuous and somewhat haphazard exercise. Investing time in instructing the right expert, however, will save your client time and money. It will also increase the prospects of a successful outcome and, arguably less importantly, it will reduce the practitioner's stress levels.

The spider is a symbol linked to treachery and death in many cultures.
It was seen as a "trickster", a "spinner of fate" in ancient goddess cultures.
Greek myths
The goddess Arachne turned into a spider by her jealous rival Athena.
Christian cultures
They have linked it both to an evil force that sucked blood from its victims and to "good luck" because of the cross on the back of some species.
The Chinese have welcomed the spider descending on its thread as a bringer of joys from heaven.

Project AM2R is a Metroid 2 Remake That Took 10 Years
After ten years in the making, Project AM2R, a fan-made Metroid 2: Return of Samus remake, sees its first release on Metroid's 30th birthday.
For more than eight years, Milton Guasti, a fan of Nintendo's 30-year-old Metroid franchise, has meticulously chronicled the laborious efforts of his Metroid 2: Return of Samus remake project. But his work on AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake) started well before that.
"This is a project I've been working on for over two years, and now I feel it can be finished, so I decided to make it public," Guasti wrote on January 3, 2008. "This is my own remake of Metroid 2, one of the most important chapters of the Metroid saga. I always wanted to play the game with the graphics and physics of Metroid: Zero Mission, so I decided my next game would be a remake."
Guasti, a 36-year-old sound technician turned professional programmer living in Argentina, tells Nintendo News that he's not worried about Nintendo taking down his project.
"I haven't ever been contacted by Nintendo," Guasti said. "When I started the project there were already many fan-made games with Nintendo characters in them. AM2R recognizes Nintendo as the owner of the IP, and it's not something made to make profit."
(Nintendo, to this day, continues to protect their IP and brand by taking swift action against fans and their game projects.)
"I'm trying my best to be respectful with the Metroid brand. Even if [Nintendo] issues a cease and desist at any minute, it's not something that worries me. Hopefully, AM2R will encourage people to play the original Metroid 2 on the eShop."
Unlike the original Metroid 2 on Game Boy, AM2R features updated graphics and gameplay mechanics while incorporating the fast-paced gameplay of Metroid: Zero Mission (Game Boy Advance) and "the atmosphere and solitude" found in Super Metroid on SNES.
As far as development goes, Guasti said it was the combined efforts of many. "A lot of people helped over the years, contributing varying amounts of assets — seven graphic artists, two writers, two musicians, four beta testers, and lots of play-testers."
Metroid 2: Return of Samus is an action-adventure space exploration game developed by Nintendo for Game Boy. The game debuted across North America in November 1991, launching a few months later in Japan and Europe in 1992.
Those interested can download Project AM2R for Windows. Guasti said a Linux build will be available soon.

Come on Nintendo, give this guy a good paycheck. Make a Wii U/3DS eShop version so this epic version can be played where it belongs… A Nintendo console.
This looks so awesome.
I don't think Nintendo is actually behind the Cease and Desist. Some folks on Reddit have been doing research on who is making these claims and from what they know, it's not actually someone on their legal staff. If they wanted to cut it off they would have done it years ago.
This game came up on search engines years ago. I'd say there was plenty of time to ask to cease development of the game. Waiting for it to release THEN issuing a C&D makes it seem like they WANTED it released illegally so they could claim greater damages. That's how some companies make money now, suing for IP and patent. And that would be a bad PR move.
Either that, or the developer, based in Argentina, might have a legal boundary, loophole, or greater barrier for being in a certain country. IP and Patent haven't stopped China from making counterfeit items for decades.
In either case, I appreciate the work the man put into it, showing his love for a fictional world. What happens from this point forward happens.
I'm getting sick of these horror stories about Nintendo taking down fan projects. It's all bullshit. They even said they liked fangames being made, as long as they don't ask money for it.
So how do those words taste? Pretty bitter I'd imagine.
I sure hope the developer of this didn't spend "8 years" to develop this exclusively. I mean fan-works are often great ways to revive short-term interest in a game, but from a IP-infringement point of view, this is uncool, and very likely to disappear within days, especially since it's on a competing platform.
There are relatively few cases of video games getting remade by a third party without permission and being blessed by the rights-owner after the fact. It usually works the other way around, with the first party approaching a third party, or the third party approaching the first party to "license" a remake. Sometimes a company (eg Disney) has a licensing arm and actually doesn't care if it's a remake or not, and will allow things to be licensed because they no longer do any in-house development, and they own the rights to everything released under Disney.
Nintendo is a different animal and has generally held a "no way, no how, not ever" attitude towards licencing due to how the "Super Mario Bros" movie turned out (before that there were even Mario comics in the US in the Nintendo Power magazine) and the licencing has been "Nintendo of America" thing over here, not necessarily a "Nintendo Japan" thing.
So the best outcome would be for Nintendo to send them a polite email to change the name (removing any Metroid reference in the title and marketing) and otherwise ignore it. This is pretty much how "rule 34" fights work. The companies know this stuff exist and just don't go after it unless it is easily found in a search engine.
Uh, No.
This is on the PC which Nintendo doesn't have any product on, so it is in no way a competitor. Doc fully gives full credit to the makers of Nintendo for owning the IP of Metroid. He in no way has used it to make any profit, not even ad revenue.
It's unlikely that it will be taken down, if Nintendo had shown any interest in shutting it down, it would have been in the development stage. Now that it's already out, there are dozens of torrents people have prepared just in case Nintendo shoots them a C&D, and after that there isn't anything they can do about it.
Doc is fine honestly, nothing will happen that will prevent the spread of the game even if nintendo takes action. Should they take down his mediafire link, whoopdie do, he says to use the torrent instead. Problem solved.
Metroid fans have nothing to worry about.
The work that has gone into this looks amazing but I have to ask; Is this right?
What I mean by that is; is it right to basically take Nintendo's IP and use it like this? I know the game is Non-Profit which could place it in the realms of fair use but after what happened with the person that made Super Mario 64 HD and apparently got sued, is this really worth it?
I was raised and was told not to steal and from what I see here, this man has stolen Nintendo's IP and used it for his own purposes. I know he makes no money off it but it's not that simple, people could end up playing his game and not play Nintendo's official game on the eShop and thus Nintendo loses money which is why the "Non-Profit" Argument does not work anymore.
I know I am being a party-pooper but I'm simply giving my honest opinion, if anyone reads this please don't hate me, I'm just giving my unbiased opinion.
Nintendo had many years to make an appropriate 2d Metroid, or a remake of their GB title. Instead, they put the series on a hiatus after releasing the awful Other M? And decide to bring it back with the awful looking Federation Force? This fan game proves that the fans know better than Nintendo when it comes to Metroid.
I'm sorry but that's got nothing to do with what I am saying. Just because the fans know what they want does not mean they can take Nintendo's IP and use it as they see fit.
Literally nothing nintendo can do right now can stop this from spreading. Hundreds of people have created torrents just in case nintendo takes action.
The super mario is completely different, he took the base of the game itself and improved upon it, this is an entirely new structure doc has built on and in no way resembles RoS other than plot and design, the structure is completely different.
They cant sue, this is under the realm of free use in all aspects and no money was made even in ads. If nintendo wanted to do something, they would have done it in the 10 years it took to make it, because nintendo KNOWS after its released theres nothing they can do.

Ad belittles the Guyanese nation
Dear Editor,
I am writing to ventilate an issue which I see as being of very serious concern. This issue concerns advertising (and its effects) and its impact on the national psyche. I have listened attentively to one of the advertisements that is currently aired by Digicel. I personally find the advert offensive and I think it belittles the Guyanese nation and presents us as (and encourages us to be) a nation of beggars.
I refer specifically to the advert that suggests that persons in this country who are unable to pay to call their overseas relatives, should contact their relatives and ask that they (the relatives) 'top up' their phones so that they are enabled to call them. I would like to ask these corporate copywriters, if they ever consider the moral impact some of their advertisements have on people? It is true that the cost of living in Guyana is high and many of us have small incomes. For this and maybe no other reason, let us teach the nation to be content and use what they have wisely, rather than hanging their hats where their hands cannot reach them and therefore having to beg.
We do not need a nation of dissatisfied people who yearn for what they cannot afford; that will lead to more dishonesty and stealing. I believe that at the end of the day, businesses and corporations have a moral responsibility to help in the development of a sound, honest and safe nation. It is my view that this particular advertisement does not conform to this standard. It should therefore be removed from the airwaves. I would be surprised if this same advertisement is aired in Barbados, Trinidad or any other Caribbean nation.
Yours faithfully,
Desmond Saul

Highlands Hideaway
Set amidst the hills of the Santa Lucia Preserve, the clean linear design of this casual weekend getaway works with the natural landforms to capture views of the mountain range from every room. The minimalist palette of materials —local stone, recycled barn wood, earth-hued plaster walls, zinc and green roofs—feels entirely of the place. Interiors are at once refined yet relaxed, with touches of whimsy. Beds in the cabin-like children's bunkroom, structurally supported by steel ladders, appear to be floating from the walls. Handmade glazed running bond tile and an enameled stone table in the banquet add light-catching luster to the kitchen. Troweled plaster walls throughout the house are buffed to a soft sheen.

"Seriously interested" were the words used by former Alaska Govenor, Sarah Palin when speaking to the Washington Post about a possible run for the nomination in 2016. And all fans of Saturday Night Live said "amen."
During the 2008 campaign when Palin was the surprise choice for John McCain as a running mate, neither conservatives nor liberals could get enough. Her plain spoken, tough talkin', Alaskan message was perceived as refreshing and endearing by those who loved her. She practically started the TEAParty movement with her simple message.

Liberals, on the other hand, couldn't wait to look down their collective Ivy League noses at the "hot Governor from a cool state" that was Palin. SNL, ever the cultural equalizer, just had fun with it. Amy Poehler as Hillary and Tina Fey as Palin were a hit week after week. Everyone, liberal or conservative, could embrace the caricatures of the candidates and just laugh.
Whatever "seriously interested" means, Sarah Palin is sure to fire up the base and make the 2016 election cycle interesting. That's at least four Governors potentially in the race at this point. Very interesting indeed.

Delta Elite
It has been over four years since we reviewed
the Colt Delta Elite 10mm auto pistol here, and since that time,
Colt has made significant updates to that pistol. Several years
ago, Colt introduced their XSE line of 1911 pistols. The XSE
upgrades made a good pistol even better, but when they did this,
Colt ignored the Delta Elite 10mm pistol, and left it with
standard features which had long been outdated. Now, Colt has
corrected that oversight, and the Delta Elite pistols have the
features that today's knowledgeable shooters want. On the new
pistol, the sights have been upgraded to the excellent Novak
style, with both front and rear now dovetailed into the slide.
The trigger has been changed from that black plastic trigger to
a lightweight aluminum trigger, with three lightening holes. The
grip safety is much better, now being the comfortable upswept
beavertail with speed bump, and combined with the slight frame
relief behind the trigger guard, makes the pistol sit a bit
lower in the hand, for better comfort and control. The grips no
longer wrap around the front of the frame, and are a better
quality than previously provided on the Delta Elite pistol. The
pistol retains the Series 80 firing pin safety, but the trigger
pull is crisp, and releases with about four and one-half pounds
of resistance.
The Delta Elite shown here is available only
from Davidson's, a large wholesaler with locations in Arizona
and North Carolina, and dealers located throughout the United
States. The stainless pistol is finished in a Magpul Flat Dark
Earth Cerakote, and is a limited run pistol. If your local
dealer does not order from Davidson's, you can order this
Delta Elite pistol online by clicking on the Gun Genie at www.galleryofguns.com. There, you will
be prompted to enter your ZIP Code, and will receive offers from
dealers in your area. You order online, and pick up the pistol
at a local dealer of your choice.
This Colt Delta Elite is fitted tightly,
functions smoothly, is chambered for the powerful 10mm Auto
cartridge, and is made in the USA. Check
out this Delta Elite online at www.galleryofguns.com.

When the Bren Ten pistol failed to be a
success back in 1986, many thought that the 10mm cartridge was
dead in the water. However, soon after, when Colt introduced the
Delta Elite and Smith & Wesson introduced their 1006 series
of auto pistols, the FBI briefly adopted the cartridge, and it
had a new life. The original Norma ammunition was powerful
stuff, and proved to produce more recoil than the FBI desired,
so they effectively castrated the cartridge by requesting a
weaker load, which lead to the development of the 40 S&W
cartridge. Were it not for ammunition companies like Buffalo
Bore and Double Tap, the 10mm Auto would likely be dead today.
However, with ammunition available that far outperforms anything
that the 40 S&W can do, the 10mm is one of the best auto
pistol cartridges that we can own.
While the S&W and Colt 10mm pistols went
out of production, Glock and EAA,
along with a few others, kept the 10mm alive with some very good
pistols that are built to handle the pressure and recoil of the
fine cartridge. Colt has recently re-introduced their Delta
Elite 10mm auto pistol, giving shooters another choice in a 1911
style 10mm pistol.
There are those who say that the 1911 design
cannot handle the 10mm auto cartridge, but that is just not
true. Set up properly, the design does very well, and is also
relatively comfortable to shoot. The same fine attributes that
endear the 45 ACP 1911 pistol to thousands of shooters carry
over into the Colt Delta Elite. The 10mm runs at about the same
pressures as do the 9x19 and 38 Super cartridges using modern
ammunition. The Delta Elite uses a dual-spring recoil system,
and I observed no battering of the frame, slide, guide rod, nor
anything else after shooting the pistol extensively with the
high performance ammunition listed below.
The Delta Elite is made primarily of
stainless steel. The sides of the frame, hammer, and slide have
a satin polished finish. The rest of the pistol has a
bead-blasted finish. The grip panels are checkered synthetic
rubber, and wrap around the front strap for a secure grip. The
Delta Elite has the Series 80 firing pin safety to prevent
discharge if the weapon is dropped on its muzzle. The pistol has
a single-sided thumb safety and a Commander-style (Rowel)
hammer. The grip safety is of standard configuration. The black
three-dot sights are not adjustable for elevation correction,
but the rear sight can be drifted in its dovetail for windage
correction. Critical dimensions are listed in the chart below.
Weight is listed in ounces. Linear measurements are listed in
inches. Trigger pull is listed as pounds of resistance. Height
includes the sights and magazine base.
Chronograph results are
listed in the charts below. Velocity readings were taken at a
distance of twelve feet from the muzzle, at an elevation of 541
feet above sea level, with an air temperature of seventy-six
degrees Fahrenheit, and a relative humidity of seventy-two
percent. I gathered together every type of 10mm ammo that I
could for testing. Bullet weights are listed in grains.
Velocities are listed in feet-per-second (fps). JHP is a
jacketed hollowpoint. JSP is a jacketed soft point bullet. DPX
and TAC-XP are homogenous copper hollow nose bullets. PB is Cor-Bon
Pow'RBall. HCL is a hard cast lead bullet. GDHP is Gold
Dot hollowpoint, and GSHP is Golden Saber hollowpoint. Glaser is
a pre-fragmented bullet.
Each of the loads shown above are real 10mm
Auto loads, easily beating the power and velocity of the 40
S&W by a substantial margin. Recoil can be brisk with some
of the heaviest loads, but none were painful nor even
uncomfortable to shoot in the Delta Elite. The Colt handles the
recoil very well, and getting on target between shots was quick
and easy; no more of a problem than with a decent 45 ACP load.
For accuracy testing, I secured the Delta
Elite into my Ransom Master Series
machine rest. The Ransom holds the pistol securely, and
eliminates shooter error, showing the potential accuracy of the
weapon, without regard to my shooting ability, or lack thereof.
The Delta Elite proved to be very accurate, depending upon the
particular load chosen. Five-shot groups at twenty-five yards
ranged from one and one-eighth to two and three-quarters inches,
with this weapon seeming to prefer the lighter weight bullets
for best accuracy. Still, even the heavy Buffalo Bore 220 grain
hard cast lead loads grouped into two and one-half inches, which
is still good accuracy at that distance. All of the lighter
weight loads grouped in the two inch or better range.
Functioning was one hundred percent, with each of the twenty-two
loads tested. Every cartridge fed, fired, and ejected perfectly.
The slide never failed to lock open on an empty magazine. There
were no hang-ups nor stoppages of any kind. Perfect.
I particularly like the lead-free all-copper
hollowpoint bullet loads from Buffalo Bore and Double Tap for
all purposes in the 10mm pistol. These Barnes TAC-XP bullets
used in this ammo expand quickly, yet hold together to penetrate
deeply. For those who like this bullet, but at a slightly slower
pace, Cor-Bon also loads this bullet in their DPX line of
Weighing in at two and one-third pounds, the
Delta Elite needs a good holster to carry it well. For concealed
carry use, a well-made inside-the-pants holster, such as the
Simply Rugged Versa Clip holster shown, easily hides the big
pistol. The Versa Clip can be worn inside the pants, outside the
pants, or as a tuckable holster, simply by changing the position
of the spring clips. The heavy-duty spring clips secure the
holster well, and there is leather between the flesh and the
pistol, protecting both from wear.
For my use, this Colt only needs two things.
The first would be to add a set of Master
Series Crimson Trace Lasergrips, for
use in low light. Second, and only because I am a
left-handed shooter, would be the addition of an ambidextrous
thumb safety. Both accessories are easy to install, and readily
The Colt Delta Elite 10mm 1911 pistol is a
pistol that would serve very well as a hunting pistol for
medium-sized game such as deer and hogs, and could also serve
for protection from large carnivores such as bear. The Delta
Elite is also a good choice for a fighting handgun, combining
all the fine qualities of the legendary 45 ACP 1911 with a more
powerful, modern handgun cartridge. Check out the wide variety

Thanks Douglas! Dramatically improved from my studyhall view of a Battery Outlet and some northern Ohio cornfields!
R~ You will laugh when you read this~ I started this last night and had it entirely blocked-in.... HATED IT, so I wiped it down and started over! It went faster the second time around because: 1) I figured out what NOT to do with the composition, & 2) I had most of the colors already mixed! (I felt like my skills had completely abandoned me during the struggle) :>)

Another masterful work, brother Tom. I was amused to read your response to R. Don't you HATE it when it feels like your skills have left the building? I just got finished black gessoing over most of a piece I'd been struggling with for weeks. Didn't give up, just got pissed...

Removing "baby fat" from face? (Photo)
I'm 21 and continually get told I look 16. I am looking for a way to get more defined features rather than my current "baby face." What is a good route to take? Is mild Buccal Fat Removal a good route? Would a chin implant be effective?

{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
Achieving a chiseled, less chubby, face requires to address multiple factors in the face and the body composition to achieve that goal. Some of the factors that may need to be addressed to achieve a slimmer / chiseled face generally are: -Lower anterior cheek fullness: this could be addressed surgically with buccal fat pad removal -Lower posterior cheek fullness: this could be achieving my treating the masseter muscle ( a masticatory muscle) with Botox. The masseter muscle gives bulk to the lower posterior cheek fullness at the level of the angle of the jaw bone -Overall body fat: weight loss to achieve a normal or low normal weight for the height ( normal BMI) is a must. (most models with chiseled face have are "skinny" and therefore have a BMI in the low normal range) -Anterior and lateral cheek bone projection: lack of cheek bone projection won't allow to have a chiseled appearance, event if the above factors are achieved. Therefore, it someone has not good cheek bone projection, he or she may require cheek augmentation/ enhancement with either soft tissue fillers like voluma or cheek implants -Saggy facial skin: young people usually doesn't have saggy facial skin. Patients in the 30s or 40s may have some aging related sagginess that may be improved with soft tissue fillers Patients interested in determining if buccal fat pad removal may help to achieve a chiseled face should make a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specialized in plastic surgery procedures of the face

Funds for Guaranteed Conservation Loans now available
December 26, 2012
Funds are now available for Guaranteed Conservation Loans, Farm Service Agency State Executive Director Trudy Kareus announced recently.
Conservation loans allow farmers and ranchers to implement conservation practices on their land that will help protect natural resources.
"Guaranteed Conservation Loans are a useful alternative to help operators implement any Natural Resources Conservation Service approved conservation practice including, waste management systems, conservation structures or water conservation measures," Kareus said.
Unlike other FSA guaranteed loan programs, Conservation Loans are not limited to family size farms.
Operators who may not normally qualify for an FSA guaranteed farm operating or ownership loan could be eligible for a Guaranteed Conservation Loan.
According to SED Kareus, the Guaranteed Conservation Loan limit is $1.3 million and interest rates and terms will vary.
The maximum guarantee FSA can issue is 75 percent.
For questions regarding Guaranteed Conservation Loans, call the Weld County FSA office at (970) 356-8097, Ext. 2.

Stun Guns, Medication Can Lead To Death
Deaths raise concerns about supposedly nonlethal weaponNov 15, 2004 | AP
Two men who recently died when they were shot with stun guns were taking medication for mental illness, renewing concerns about the supposedly nonlethal weapon.
Ricardo Zaragoza and Gordon Rauch each were shot at least twice with 50,000 volt Tasers after they fought with Sacramento County sheriff's deputies. Zaragoza died last Monday and Rauch last year, but they are among a growing list of suspects taking medication or other drugs whose encounters with the weapons proved fatal.
Experts say the incidents prove the need for studying the effect of Tasers on sensitive people, including those taking prescription or illegal drugs.
"There's really almost no medical research examining this issue," Dr. Kathy Glatter told The Sacramento Bee. She is a University of California, Davis, Medical Center electrophysiologist, a cardiologist who specializes in heart rhythm disorders and sudden death.
"Many of those medicines can cause life-threatening heart rhythms, although it's rare, and they are generally considered safe," Glatter said. "But the combination perhaps in the wrong person could be lethal."
At least 76 people have died in the United States and Canada since 2001 after being shot with Tasers, says Mark Silverstein, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union chapter in Colorado. Many were using stimulants, and at least six coroner's reports found Tasers were a contributing factor.
"The more deaths that are associated, the more that someone needs to be questioning and doing a very serious study," Silverstein said.
Officials at Arizona-based Taser International said the weapon has been vindicated.
"Several studies have stated the Taser is most likely not a contributing factor during the custody deaths," said spokesman Steve Tuttle.
But two September studies, one by the U.S. Department of Defense and the other by the British Columbia Office of Police Complaints, said more research and training are needed.
Amnesty International plans to release on Nov. 30 a report on Taser-related deaths in the U.S. The Canadian Police Research Center in Ottawa plans to release the results of its own study next spring.
"It's so important for the police to be tracking Taser use to show why they are using it and document the number of uses and certainly compare information on any tragic circumstances," said Jim Cessford, chairman of the advisory committee to the Canadian center and the chief constable of Delta, a city in British Columbia.
The U.S. National Institute of Justice is paying the International Association of Chiefs of Police to review law enforcement "use of force" policies, including the use of Tasers.
The two Sacramento County deaths won't change policies there, said a department spokesman. The department has purchased at least 584 Tasers since 2001.

We're in the home stretch. A couple more days and the Blessed Event is over. I've managed to get through the holidays without publishing a single picture of a porn hunk wearing a Santa hat. But a candy cane up a furry butt -- how could I resist that? Deviant Otter had all his shopping and decorating wrapped up early, so he invited a buddy over (I'll call him Gus) for some festive fucking.
I've never be one to mix food and sex, you know, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, Popsicles. So when I saw the picture of Devin shoving a candy cane in Gus' furry butt, I thought, "That's going to be a sticky fucking mess." Yes, it sounds deliciously fun when your fuck buddy says he's going to stick a giant candy cane in your bum, but look at Gus' hairy ass, not just his hole, but his very fuzzy cheeks. What's the big deal? It washes off, right?
This time of year is always a big time of reflection where I think about that past year and the one ahead. And January 2015 is a bigger than usual start to the new year because my husband and I celebrate our twentieth year together. I'm not going to lie, after twenty years, a couple can lose the spark. "Yes, honey, I'd love to suck your dick for the 5,000th time. Can we finish watching 'Mike & Molly' first?"
But that's one of the things I love about Devin Totter -- he's a fun, kinky fucker and he's willing to try just about anything. And he does so over and over again in his homemade videos. He's a lively and creative fucker in the sack, and I could probably learn a few things from this furry lad about having some fun. So am I going to ask my husband to stick a candy cane up my butt? No, but I'm sure we can come up with something just as fun.

Shore Hotel
1515 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, CA
0,4 km från
3128 kr+
Everything was first class. Staff is the best, made my wife and I feel important. Could not do enough for us. Everyone checked to make sure our stay was first class. Need better pillows and lower parking rate for guests of the hotel.
Room was comfortable and had nice amenities. Nickel and dimed to death. $7 to print out boarding passes in their business center. Forty dollars for breakfast. Thirty dollars for two drinks. Once I've paid for a nice hotel room, I like to think the hotel I've paid for is my home for the few nights I'm there. I felt like the Shore's mark. Can't even give me a cup of coffee? I won't be back. $8 bottle of water in the room. $35 towels mixed into the regular towels? I am not your huckleberry.
June 15,2015 Could not get into our room until 4. Notified them we would arrive around 11 A.M. Hoped for noon or 1 P.M. room. Manager finally got involved. The rest of our stay was awesome. The staff is very friendly and excellent service. Stayed for four days. Wonderful location to beach and easy walking to shopping, farmer's markets etc. Wondered why with the remodel the bathrooms are small--one sink. T.C. on staff was the best!
Great location across the street from the Santa Monica Pier. LEED Gold building. Super high prices not at all justified by the experience. Stiff, unfriendly staff. Even after the very high room rates, there were no extras included. Virtually everything is a la carte extra cost -- from beach towels ($35/towel), parking (>$45/day), etc. The double queen room layout wasn't at all "family friendly". We loved Santa Monica, but didn't like the Shore Hotel at all.
Det låg bra vid stranden och personalen var väldigt trevlig nej
3 kritikverdige aspekter: 1. leide en suite for at fa beste mulige standard bl. a. internet men hadde ingen internet tilgang. 2. urdarlig utsikt mot en burlig bakgard. 3. Drog till LA for at delta i LA marathon. Marathon morgen hadde hotellet ingen mulighet at erbjude frukost. De borde forsoke at tilmotesga gesternes enklare onskemal: tilgang til internet, bedre utsikt samt det borde vaere enkelt for hotellet at ordne en brodskive marathonmorgen.
Friendly and helpful staff, that took care of car and luggage in a fast and alert way. Nice retro, art deco interior design. Clean and fresh overall impression. Great window view towards the Pacific Sea (if you choose that room option). Near to shopping and other events in Santa Monica.
They did not have our reservation when we checked in; after calling twice to confirm. During those two calls, I was put on hold for thirty minutes the first time and eight minutes the second time..finally, they confirmed. Yet, upon arrival, they did not have our reservation and I had to check my confirmation email on my phone to prove it. No "sorry" gifts/amenities were given.
Everyone went above and beyond to make the stay comfortable.
The hotel decor was pretty sterile. The Viceroy across the street was much more esthetically pleasing. The pool was ok, not great. The coffee bar was under staffed and looked temporary. Good for location. Staff cheerful, but not what I expected.
The staff was amazing very friendly and helpful Hotel needs to be renovated probably nice in the 90s. Way over priced. $35/day for parking and $15/day for wifi. I would not stay here again and I def would not recommend this hotel to anyone. very disappointing.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating! Property, decor, food & beverga and amenities are in need of a serious renovation. This is currently far from many other JW Marriott luxe experiences I have had.
It was really terrific...
Staff was amazing Hotel was tired , carpet needs replacing, very tired
Shower would flood whenever we used it and the toilet kept malfunctioning.
I was very disapointed with my room..... Front desk staff very nice. I asbar staff very unfriendly..will probally not stay here again. For the price of room very dissapointed.
The location was great only a short walk to the pier. The rooms were clean enough. There was a pool. The elevator worked. The elevator was busy during the day with cleaning staff. Our rooms didn't get clean until very late in the day and then barely. There was a pool but no one told us how to find it. There was a resturant in the hotel but no signs for it or any thing in the information in the room about its even being there. I paid extra for the ocean view witch was almost none existent. Not my best experience with Wyndham
-Very friendly and helpful staff! -Rooms have been nicely updated and were nicer than I expected -AMAZING location, especially for the price! -Was able to check in prior to 4pm and extend checkout to 12pm -Free breakfast foods and coffee in the lobby (we didn't take advantage, but I didn't know they would be provided) -Able to hold our bags between checkout and our flight (thank you!) Overall very satisfied and plan on staying here again. Looking forward to their lobby update to match the rooms! Lobby is currently very, very minimal but looks like it'll be nice when finished! -Remodeling and there is no lobby (just keep that in mind) -Because we booked through Kayak, the hotel was not able to guarantee a double room booking, even though I paid extra for two beds -Did end up receiving a room with a king bed and pull out couch. King bed was very comfortable. Couch was very uncomfortable -I would NOT book this room through Kayak! Call Wyndham directly. Between the hotel and the third party, you'll get stuck in the middle if they can't promise a double bed. Each will tell you to call the other service and that there is nothing they can do, leaving you potentially in the lurch.
One of the best customer service experiences I've had at a hotel in years. The front desk staff, the valet, housekeepers, and the service technician were all excellent. The service technician had to come to the room because the heat wouldn't turn on and he arrived in less than 5 minutes and had the heat working in less 3 minutes, and was polite and amiable. The hotel was clean, and in a great location (walking distance to the pier, good restaurants and bars, and the 3rd street promenade shopping area). Didn't use the pool but it looked nice. Overnight parking at the hotel is an extra $40; in my opinion, it should be included for guests.
I like how close it is to the Santa Monica Pier. It really is very close to it. I booked a King bed...and when I got there I was told there weren't any. I think the worst thing possible for a hotel, is to place a reservation and then have that reservation be unexpectedly modified.
Very good location. Beds are too small and the parking charge is absolutely ridiculous. That alone would keep me from staying with you again.
Location Price and staff when I checked in seemed annoyed that they had to help me.
In front of pier The rooms were dark and poorly decorated facing a very busy and extremely noisy highway. Though the hotel is facing the sea, it is very difficult to get to the entrance. The parking was exorbitant: $43 a night!!! I do not recommend this hotel
The service was amazing! The location couldn't be more ideal! The shuttle for the marathon was right behind the hotel. The finish line was right on the pier. Perfect place to just walk to 3rd St. promenade to carb up before the race. The room was quiet and comfortable. There was quite a bit of construction going on so parking was a bit confusing. We had to move our car before 11pm to the public parking garage. Also, late check out was not available, so if you are not staying that night of the marathon you would need to check out that morning and have them hold your luggage.
Great location to everything. Friendly staff and one block from the Ocean. Very pricey. Parking was $42 a night with tax!
Comfy bed, proper hair dryer, complimentary fast wifi in room, complimemtary dressing gowns, ipod docking station in room, facilities excellant, location is perfect for pier/beach as you are literally across the road, also very near 3rd street too for shops and reataurants. Staff very helpful and friendly.. Would defiently stay here again and again. I couldnt stay longer!!
Very secure. Clean and comfortable.
Room nicely remodeled and updated. Staff very helpful. Location couldn't be better. Parking fee.
Läget vid Santa Monica piren Garden view var utsikt över parkeringen. Jag hade nog valt ett annat hotell om jag sett hur hotellet såg ut. Förväntade mig mer, det var det dyraste hotellet av 9 som jag besökte i USA, men med sämsta bekvämligheten och inte särskilt trevligt med frukost i lobbyn.
Hotellet låg perfekt, nära till allt i Santa Monica. Fukost ingår, dock består den endast av juice och bröd (ganska dåligt i min mening)
Att området kändes tryggt. Det var även därför vi valde just detta hotell. Kylanläggningen lät väldigt högt, det var en lampa som surrade på natten med några minuters mellanrum. Ismaskinen var nära vårt rum så man vaknade flera ggr om natten när andra gäster hämtade is. Priset blev väldigt högt i förhållande till vad man fick. Jag vet dock inte om detta är normalpris i LA, men det var väldigt dyrt jämfört med Orlando, Las Vegas och Clearwater beach.
Utmärkt läge, bra med parkering i anslutning. Städningen var inte bra.
Läget är toppen om man vill tillbringa tid på stranden. Mycket ljud runt hotellet. Rummen inget speciella. Utsikt över deras parkering om man ej har har betalat för balkong och Ocean View. Extra betalning för parkering. Hotellet har inga andra faciliteter mer än rum.Frukosten mycket knaper. Tror man kan hitta ett trevligare hotell för samma pengar.
Läget ut mot trafikerad gata, ej vad bilder ger sken av på webben. Inget kylskåp, dåligt med garderober, förvaring.
Robust och egen designad surfstil. Närheten till fin strand. Närhet till LA International Airport. Dålig värme i rummen (november). Slut på allt bröd när vi kom ner till frukost vid 09-tiden. Nytt bröd införskaffades inte. Förhållandevis dyrt i jämförelse med andra hotell vi bodde på under vår rundresa i CA.
Mycket bra läge santa monica beach var helmysigt
Läget till stranden och centrum. Städningen var åt det sämre hållet och lukten från rengöringen var så stark att man misstänkte att det var något man försökte dölja. Kylskåpet lät så mycket att det var svårt att sova. 25 dollar för parkering per natt är orimligt.
Location Dated, dirty, cheap, stickey
Great location to get to the pier and the promenade. Good dining options within walking distance. The first night we arrived was SO loud! There must have been a party at the hostel across the street but it felt like it was in our room. The music didn't stop until 3am.
The staff was nice. They had no record of our reservation, and they were all booked up. I had ten teenagers with me, hundreds of miles from home, with no place to stay. They helped us find another hotel, but it was almost double the price. Very stressful.
Older man at front desk was rude upon my check in a just totally ruined my stay there. Your staff..
If you don't like to drive around much, this is your hotel. Just valet park your car ($20/night) and walk. Everything is nearby, movies, great choice of restaurants, the Santa Monica Pier and of course the beach. Wifi leaves little to be desired. Cellular signal is 4G so you have to jockey around for a good enough signal. The hotel itself is dated but comfortable. Small TV's in the room but who cares.

You want to have fun, play with LeBron James. You want a ring, play with Kobe Bryant.
Hall of Famer Larry Bird talked about everything from Peyton Manning to the Celtics dynasty and his dislike of Bill Laimbeer with Bill Simmons of Grantland.com.
BOSTON CELTICS; Pierce passes Bird on scoring list
His huge admiration for both Bryant and James starts at the 30-minute mark of the interview.
Asked by Simmons what player he would have wanted to play with he went with the Lakers' superstar.
"Well, probably Kobe, because of the fact that ... well, of course he wouldn't have been shooting as much as he does now ... but his desire to win, his dedication, to always get better, uh, and he's just, he's just tough," Bird said. "He's just a tough cat.
"But, if you want to have fun, like I did with Bill Walton, play with LeBron. It would have probably been more fun to play with LeBron, but if you want to win and win and win, it's Kobe. Not that LeBron's not a winner, just that (Bryant's) mindset is to go into every practice, every game, to get better."

Michael Hiestand has covered sports media and marketing for USA TODAY, tackling the sports biz ranging from what's behind mega-events such as the Olympics and Super Bowl to the sometimes-hidden numbers behind the sports world's bottom line.
