There are many issues swirling in this Oscar diversity debate.
At the heart of it is how much the Oscars reflect the way that the Academy likes to see itself. That's one reason why I believed that "The King's Speech," "The Hurt Locker" and "12 Years a Slave" would win Best Picture. I was surprised by "Driving Miss Daisy"'s win, as well as the one for "Crash." Remember, even if they are mostly white, male and senior, and many have not actively worked on a movie in years, the 6000-strong voting Academy members consider themselves to be industry professionals capable of judging good work. They are mostly liberal. They tend to like well-made, high-minded movies that make them feel proud to be coming from Hollywood.
So why no people of color in the key races this year? Consider the candidates. There are reasons why each of them did not make the cut.
"Beasts of No Nation." The movie debuted to rapturous response at Telluride before its day-and-date release on Netflix and via distributor Bleecker Street and indie exhibitor chain Landmark Theatres in 19 markets on 31 screens. The movie failed at the box office, because Netflix was invested in streaming it online (claiming 3 million streams in 10 days), not making it work in theaters. They knew they'd lose money on theatrical, but wanted to qualify the movie for the Oscars. While there was an awards campaign, Netflix is far more savvy about how to work their documentary division at this stage — and landed two Oscar contenders, even though some complained they overspent ('twas ever thus). Cary Fukunaga, while hugely admired by critics and indie circles, is not well-known by the Academy directors branch; he's never had a film in Oscar contention, and his biggest hit was the first season of HBO's "True Detective." Part of the problem: Many of Hollywood's best and brightest are working in television and the Academy can be snobby about that.
Even though unknown Abraham Attah and better known British star Idris Elba (best known for TV's "Luther" and studio action fare) were widely praised, they did not land Oscar nods. Arguably, it wasn't just a question of whether or not Academy members saw the movie, whether on Netflix, in theaters, or on a screener. (It was a stunning cinematic experience on the big screen.) It's more that the movie wasn't deemed a hit. It stayed small. Also, the supporting actor category was the most competitive in years. SAG nominee Michael Shannon didn't make it either, nor did last year's Oscar contender Michael Keaton, splitting the vote with "Spotlight" costar Mark Ruffalo, nor widely praised Paul Dano ("Love & Mercy").
"Straight Outta Compton." In this case Universal took the movie out in the summer and turned it into a commercial breakout. They did not play it in festivals to give it extra cred, but gave it a full court press for Oscar consideration. They did not stint on spending. Its strongest assets? F. Gary Gray's direction, the screenwriters who landed the film's only Oscar nom (and happened to be white), the score (mostly not original), editing and sound. The media is at fault here: Why weren't Coogler and Gray in the The Hollywood Reporter director's roundtable, which reflected less the actual contenders than the Oscar perennials — Quentin Tarantino, Tom Hooper, Danny Boyle, Ridley Scott and David O. Russell, none of whom landed nominations — who would play best on their TV show? (THR apologized for the all-white actresses group, and made up for it with the actors, which included Samuel L. Jackson of "The Hateful Eight" and "Concussion" star Will Smith.) The more mainstream PGA went for "Compton" with a field of ten. The Academy may vote to go back to ten as well, on the basis that "Straight Outta Compton" would have made it.
"Selma" made that cut last year because it was an Academy movie: A reverent biopic of a great slain Civil Rights leader, directed by rising star Ava DuVernay, who delivered a powerful dramatic movie (while dinged by some of the experts of the period). "Straight Outta Compton" was a hip hop musical aimed at a younger male demographic, totally different from the Academy's. I talked to lots of voters who loved it, and I thought it would get in. It's those preferential ballots. With a lot of competition the consensus rules.
"Creed." From the beginning, supporting actor nominee Sylvester Stallone's narrative dominated this Oscar campaign. Writer-director Ryan Coogler's debut "Fruitvale" was picked up by the Weinsteins and became a festival darling, playing Sundance and Cannes, and was an indie hit, but with this MGM/New Line/Warner Bros. sequel, Coogler carefully fashioned an accessible, entertaining, dramatic narrative. He wrote a script that was strong enough to lure Stallone and let his stars — Stallone and Michael B. Jordan — shine. Both should have been nominated. Why wasn't Jordan taken more seriously? That is a deep and disturbing question. He is relatively young and largely not established with the Academy electorate, many of whom dodged "Creed" thinking it was just another "Rocky" sequel. Best Picture voters tend to ignore sequels, as they did "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," with certain exceptions like "Mad Max: Fury Road" or the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
"Concussion." Look at the reviews. They were ok but not great. Laudable as his mission was to raise consciousness about the dangers of head injuries in football, Peter Landesman was more agit-prop journalist than compelling filmmaker. Will Smith did a solid job embodying a Nigerian neurologist trying to make his mark in America. But the movie needed to be stronger, and did not catch fire at the box office. SAG didn't go for him either. Smith is more global movie star than respected master thespian, partly due to his own eagerness to please within the studio system with mixed resuts. He's been nominated twice, for Michael Mann's "Ali" and Gabriele Muccino's "The Pursuit of Happyness."
The Academy wants to make changes, and they have been aggressively inviting a younger, more diverse membership ever since CEO Dawn Hudson and president Cheryl Boone Isaacs have been in charge. They know the problem. They want to move the needle but it's going slowly. The Governors meeting this coming Tuesday will bring a wide-ranging discussion of what they can do to improve the situation. Some people want to limit voters to people who have worked in the last ten years. Indiewire's box office pundit Tom Brueggemann suggests a point system with more points for Academy winners and active members and fewer for inactive members. This won't fly. Most people in the movie business don't work a lot of the time. These professionals are experienced, knowledgeable and worthy of respect. Agism isn't the solution.
They just don't tend to like hip hop movies, necessarily, or follow small-scale festival hits that haven't penetrated their consciousness. Part of the fault is within the Academy screening committee, which chooses the movies that show to the membership over the course of the year. Many worthy and diverse films do not get picked.
My modest proposal for modernizing and winnowing down the Academy voters? If they can't figure out how to vote online, even with coaching from the Academy, maybe they aren't cogent enough pick the Oscars.

I'm with ChiChi - I hope I come across some of the displays and get to purchase things from them but I'm not going to drive myself crazy anymore hunting 5+ different drugstores every single day. I would buy every single glitter in the Ice Baby Collection if I found it, as well as I <3 Matte and pretty much everything else, lol! Oh man, I better at least find the glitter polishes. I never found Prancer and friends last year...
ReplyDeleteI saw 'What Happened Last Night?' at a local Rite Aid about two weeks ago, and I bought 2 bottles from it (5,4,3,2,1 and Ring in the Year). I've stopped back into the store several times since then and the display is still completely full except for the 2 I bought, so I don't think this one's going to be too hard to find/sell out quickly.
ReplyDeleteSpotted Beauty Bar and the Ice Ice Baby polishes at my Wags today! And yet, only got one polish (Give Me a Price Quote, very unique chartreuse glitter with bar glitter!).... most of the polish colors just didn't grab me-- and the gray was the only one that was even remotely holo, as it had some holo hex glitter-- and as for the baked palettes, I don't want to get e/s that I have to wear wet to get a significant payoff, and the mattes weren't colors I'd wear. I'll put up my spotting when you get a 'sightings' map up!
ReplyDeleteI bought three of the What Happened Last Night polishes yesterday at Rite Aid. 5,4,3,2,1, Whose Lips are These?, and the purple one (Ring in the Year?) Whose Lips are These? reminded me of Autumn Leaves so I compared them when I got home. Similar but WLaT? is more red. Don't know how they compare on though. I also bought NYC Backstage Brown which is actually copper from their new(?) In the Spotlight collection.

College of Charleston coach Doug Wojcik is being investigated by the school for verbal abuse of players, according to reports Wednesday.
ESPN.com confirmed multiple reports that Wojcik, 50, has been under investigation for the past few weeks. The Post and Courier reported that Wojcik is expected to be placed on probation for the month of August and will also undergo counseling.
Players reportedly didn't react well to Wojcik's style after having played for former coach Bobby Cremins. According to ESPN.com, Wojcik's rigid style was dramatically different than the laid-back Cremins.
Wojcik is 38-29 in two seasons since arriving at Charleston. He has three years left on a five-year contract. He was previously the head coach at Tulsa, where he compiled a 140-92 mark in seven seasons.

Office space: The Big Reveal!
Do we all remember what I started out with back in December...?
This is my home office so I had to make use of it immediately after moving in. Not too shabby given the circumstances...
Then I drew up a plan to make it better. And blacker...
And randomly one Sunday, I woke up, ran to the paint store, came back, and got to work.
That single quart of Benjamin Moore's Black Jack was all it took to cover this small office wall. Twice over. Kind of looks charcoal grey in the photo. Intriguing.
Scary and exciting...
You get the picture...
And THAT is how you hang photos haphazardly. Grab a piece of art and a nail, and go! I really love that there is still more space on the wall to add to my personal art gallery.
Drum roll please...
and for one last before/after comparison
Here is the sketch as explained on January 6:
And here is the almost finished product!
I want to spruce up that bulletin board a bit and add window treatments. But I am awaiting higher temperatures before I can paint the trim of the bulletin board. And I'm too lazy and too broke (damn you, fabulous trip to Thailand) to go find window treatments I love.
Anyway, I hope you like it as much as I do! It's so fun and pretty to sit in here and stare at all day. Which is what I do. At least 9 hours a day. 8 for work + at least 1 for blogging.
Good thing I love it!

Looks awesome! I love the "gallery" wall for all your art. Very cool. How do you keep it so clean and simple?? I have a papers problem, I have to have a filing cabinet to sort all my things and now I've outgrown my little cabinet and need a bigger one! I hardly see a single piece of paper in your space, lucky!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great home office! Very well done! What about framing out the bulletin board to give it a little "heft"? Maybe in black? Or cover it in the fabric you use for the window treatments (or a complimentary fabric)? But why am I making suggestions? You have fabulous taste and ideas yourself!

Hey everyone! Just a manga and anime loving girl right here.
My favourite mangas are fantasy/slice of life/action/magical girl ones. ^^" Especially ones like Pretty Cure, Gakuen Alice, or Shugo Chara. Fairy Tail would have to be my all time favourite.
I don't watch much anime aside from the classics (Sword Art Online, Fairy Tail, etc.) When I watch them though, I usually binge on them. It's much harder for me to concentrate on them so I usually watch them while doing homework, if I watch at all! x3
If you have any anime or manga you'd like to suggest, feel free! I'm always open to talk to. ^^

The irony would be rich, were the subject any less serious. After years of the the left and international critics accusing the Bush administration of fearmongering and sabre-rattling about Iran's nuclear weapons program, it turns out that Bush was dead on — Iran will have a working nuclear weapon within the year.
Critics of the Bush administration like Paul Craig Roberts accused Bush of trying to use bogus claims of nuclear weapons in Iran to promote an imperialistic agenda. Two years ago Roberts spoke for many on the radical left and the isolationist right when he wrote:
"A truthful statement, which no one any longer expects from any member of the Bush Regime, would be that the weapons inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency have pored over Iran's nuclear program and have found no evidence of a weapons program. A number of experts, such as Gordon Prather, have fiercely disputed the propagandistic claims of an Iranian nuclear weapons program…Any expert or knowledgeable person who examines these statements sees nothing but unsupported assertions, paranoid speculations, fear- mongering and blatant lies. It is on this basis, and this basis alone, that the Bush Regime will initiate war with Iran…Iran is being set up by the identical propaganda machine that set up Iraq with fearful imagery of "mushroom clouds over American cities" and nonexistent "weapons of mass destruction."
In trying to counter the Bush claims about Iranian nuclear aspirations, critics like Justin Raimando, of AntiWar.com, pointed to the CIA's National Intelligence Estimate to show that even our own experts disagreed with the Bush administration's assessment of Iran's nuclear potential. Raimondo wrote:
"Leaving the realm of speculation, and entering the region of hard facts: our own National Intelligence Estimate on Iran and its alleged nuclear weapons program shows that the Iranians had a weapons program that they abandoned: 'We judge with high confidence that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program.' While keeping the option open, the Iranian regime has not restarted its nuclear program, according to our spooks, and probably could not iron out all the technical problems and hoarding of nuclear materials until at least 2015 – and even then there is no evidence Tehran has any such intention."
Apparently leftist ideology and anti-Israeli fanaticism aren't enough to turn Iran into the heroic and peace loving fantasyland people like Roberts and Raimondo would like it to be. Even the CIA, in its eagerness to show up the administration with which it often clashed, ended up committing the same sin for which the Bush administration was condemned when it launched the Iraq War on speculation and suspicion. All of them put too much trust in Iran and ignored the reality that Iran always intended to develop nuclear weapons and never even paused in its pursuit of them despite its protestations to the contrary.
It has now become overwhelmingly clear that not only did Iran not stop their nuclear program as claimed, the program has been moving forward with great success; in addition to already having the needed bomb technology and missile delivery systems, they will likely have enough weapon-grade plutonium to build their first nuclear weapon within a matter of months, according to a new report from the International Institute for Strategic Studies. The findings in this report bear out information which has been surfacing for the last couple of years which indicates that the nuclear facility at Natanz has enormously more gas centrifuges than originally believed, and that they may even already have enough fissionables to build a working nuclear bomb. If anything, the IISS report underestimates Iran's nuclear capacity, as other recent reports suggest they are even closer to having a working bomb. In fact, there have been reports for years of Iran possessing surplus Russian warheads purchased from Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
The left slandered Bush, Ahmedinejad played the persecuted innocent, the international community dithered, and Iran has just kept on producing plutonium. The IAEA was supposed to monitor Iran's supposedly peaceful and energy-oriented nuclear development, but over the last two years their inspectors have had their activities restricted; have been misdirected, and late last year Iran started blocking all their attempts to investigate, right at the time when many experts believe Iran had reached the point where their ability to fuel a bomb was inevitable. The IAEA's increasingly alarmed announcements of Iran's impending nuclear capabilities have largely been ignored.
Throughout this entire farce, the one constant has been the repeated underestimating of Iran's determination to become a nuclear power and their ability to produce the needed technology and fissionable materials. Only a couple of years ago everyone who was convinced Iran wasn't even trying to build nukes was certain that they could not possibly have a nuclear weapon in less than 10 years. Now, that has proven to be disastrously naive and there is every reason to believe that even these new assessments underestimate Iran's nuclear potential.
On Tuesday President Obama said that he was willing to "extend the hand of peace" to Iran, but it may be a bit late for diplomacy, when Iran has its nuclear goals in hand and remains determined to use every resource it has to destroy its enemies, most notably Israel. UN Ambassador Susan Rice has promised negotiations with Iran if it stops its enrichment program, but the chances of that happening at this point are laughably small, even if we were foolish enough to believe any of their claims. Not surprisingly, the latest bellicose statements from Iran suggest that they believe they are negotiating from a position of strength. Understandable, now that their nuclear destiny appears to be at hand.

Goals and Objectives
Bringing the Vision to Reality
(PDF) Background From the Apollo landings on the Moon, to robotic surveys of the Sun and the planets, to the compelling images captured by advanced space telescopes, U.S. achievements in space have revolutionized humanity's view of the universe and have inspired Americans and people around the world. These achievements also have led to the development of technologies that have widespread applications to address problems on Earth. As the world enters the second century of powered flight, it is time to articulate a new vision that will define and guide U.S. space exploration activities for the next several decades.
Today, humanity has the potential to seek answers to the most fundamental questions posed about the existence of life beyond Earth. Telescopes have found planets around other stars. Robotic probes have identified potential resources on the Moon, and evidence of water -- a key ingredient for life -- has been found on Mars and the moons of Jupiter.
Direct human experience in space has fundamentally altered our perspective of humanity and our place in the universe. Humans have the ability to respond to the unexpected developments inherent in space travel and possess unique skills that enhance discoveries. Just as Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo challenged a generation of Americans, a renewed U.S. space exploration program with a significant human component can inspire us -- and our youth -- to greater achievements on Earth and in space.
The loss of Space Shuttles Challenger and Columbia and their crews are a stark reminder of the inherent risks of space flight and the severity of the challenges posed by space exploration. In preparation for future human exploration, we must advance our ability to live and work safely in space and, at the same time, develop the technologies to extend humanity's reach to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. The new technologies required for further space exploration also will improve the Nation's other space activities and may provide applications that could be used to address problems on Earth.
Like the explorers of the past and the pioneers of flight in the last century, we cannot today identify all that we will gain from space exploration; we are confident, nonetheless, that the eventual return will be great. Like their efforts, the success of future U.S. space exploration will unfold over generations.
Goals and Objectives The fundamental goal of this vision is to advance U.S. scientific, security, and economic interests through a robust space exploration program. In support of this goal, the United States will:
Bringing the Vision to Reality
The Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will be responsible for the plans, programs, and activities required to implement this vision, in coordination with other agencies, as deemed appropriate. The Administrator will plan and implement an integrated, long-term robotic and human exploration program structured with measurable milestones and executed on the basis of available resources, accumulated experience, and technology readiness.
To implement this vision, the Administrator will conduct the following activities and take other actions as required:
Space Shuttle International Space Station The Moon Mars and Other Destinations
A. Exploration Activities in Low Earth Orbit
B. Space Exploration Beyond Low Earth Orbit
C. Space Transportation Capabilities Supporting Exploration
D. International and Commercial Participation

Bourbon Orleans Hotel
717 Orleans Street, New Orleans, LA
0.7 km from
i stayed here with a group of 9 women. This hotel was in the very best location to walk everywhere that we wanted to go in the French Quarter. It was a really great price and i would definitely stay there again, group or individually. Having traveled to NOLA many times and stayed at many similar hotels, this was the easiest, cleanest, and best value by far.
- Location, location, location. Traveled with a friend and this was incredibly convenient to everything we wanted to do in NOLA. I'd absolutely bring bikes if you have the means, makes the city a lot more accessible and reduces transportation issues. - Pool - Staff was awesome, very accommodating even at the last minute - it's clear that they all like their jobs - Stored our bikes in the room downstairs so they didn't take up space in the smaller room and the doormen were always available to open it up for us. Before we found this out they kept our car in a gated lot close by to make sure our bikes were safe on the car. - Free drinks at bar are slightly misleading... Not a total scam but just make sure you want well liquor and add up the cost prior to making it a double with "premium" liquor. - Valet can be slow but they did give a heads up that it would take 40 minutes at some times. - Depending on where you are in the hotel you may have a way to walk down the halls to your room but this isn't really a big deal. - Truly not that bad - if I HAD to pick bad things this is what I remember but I would absolutely stay there again.
Right by Bourbon St room was clean and nicely appointed great central courtyard with pool Location makes it noisy rooms on one side were noisy to a non-stop generator terrible pillows no room service uninformed staff (front desk not aware there was no room service, housekeeping not clear whether feather pillows existed... isn't this a basic requirement in most hotels? plastic mattress cover - I guess too many people enjoy the party atmosphere too much & they have mattress issues!
I can't even put into words just how amazing the staff were. Every single person I met was so friendly and accommodating. Even going as far as making me a make shift shower chair due to my ankle being broken and needing assistance. Every need was met and then some! The ONLY issue we had was the sensitivity of the room keys. We had to have them remagnetized every day sometimes numerous times in a day.
Really enjoyed the Historic aspect of the Hotel. Very opulent, and had wonderful informative signs regarding various history of the building. Staff is really good, polite, and helpful.
Beautiful hotel with friendly, efficient staff. If you want to stay in the heart of Bourbon Street this hotel is it. Upgrade to Balcony suite for a perfect stay. Everything was great.
The room was giant The place was shabby, even the uniforms were cheap. The hotel bar closed at 12:30, the room service was from like 4-10 and was provided by a third party, in the morning I called for a sprit and it took FOREVER for it come. I paid 450 for that room. I should have been at the Four Seasons level.
I loved the location of the hotel the staff was courteous and friendly. The in hotel restaurant had good food but was a bit pricey. Our room was clean, I am a picky person so it met my standards. I thought some areas could have had better house keeping. Large dust bunnies were all over the floor near the stairs. The main area that was traveled by the guests were kept cleaner. But most importantly I didn't like that they permitted a drunken homeless person to sleep outside of the hotel doors, not a good first impression for many guests.
Great room. location, and the staff was incredible.
Everything. The people working the desk when we checked in around 10pm were exceptional employees. N/a
More hotel than what we expected. Great staff, great location, great food, great hotel! Will make it our go to hotel every time we visit.
location is great Thought the staff at the front desk could have been nicer. They didn't even say thank you for staying when I checked out.
Good position and great to have free on-site parking. Room clean and spacious. Could have done without the corridor floors being polished at 6.30am.
Once we complained about the room we were upgraded to a beautiful room. The one we were expecting. Had to complain to get a room that was even tolerable. Would have liked to get a nice room from the start rather than feeling like we had to complain to have a good experience on vacation.
Location As above comment and door of the room did not close fully with single lock and just a chain, other locks did not work either
The staff was incredibly lovely! They were super helpful with events going on in the Quarter, and the hotel itself is a perfect location! We had amazingly comfy king bed with a gorgeous shared balcony off the back. I loved that among the bathroom amenities that they included a makeup remover toilet! That was truly a life saver after a long night of great music and libations in the neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again when we're back in NoLa! The bathroom was a touch out dated for those that mind, but we certainly didn't! :)
Le Richelieu has an excellent location on the edge of the French Quarter, close enough to walk everywhere but quiet and with ample parking. Staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel has more atmosphere than the big chains. No problems.
The location, while not in the heart of the French quarter like many other options, was very close to the great live music on Frenchman street. The staff was very nice and helpful. The property is extremely old. While I didn't mind that necessarily, the beds were very uncomfortable and the carpet looked like if could use a cleaning.
i've been coming to the Richelieu for years, and it's still my favorite hotel in New Orleans. All that New Orleans is: classic, faded, fun, vibey, and somewhat inexplicable :)
Love the location, the pool/courtyard and the friendly staff. The decor was a wee dated, old style TV sets.
The gentlemen who ran the kitchen and bar were the nicest men I've ever met! They are family now especially mr. Don The short, Hispanic woman at the desk had an attitude.
We came for our honeymoon and was pleasently surprised that our suite was so big and equiped with a full kitchen. It's where Paul McCartney stayed for an added bonus. The staff were very nice and accommodating. We arrived early due to having to take an early flight and had to check in early yet our room wasn't ready. The manager gave us some drink coupons to use at the bar due to having to wait. That was very nice considering we were checking in prior to the actual check-in time. I felt for a suite of that magnitude it woyld have been nice if they had an in-room coffee maker.
Staff was great bathroom dated-carpet old
The easy access off I-10 to a complimentary parking lot behind the hotel was a bonus. We were able to walk to everything and never moved the car until it was time to depart. The safe location made it nice to be out after dark and not feel threatened.
Hotel room was beautiful. Loved our car was inside the courtyard, safe and close. Can't wait to go back.
2 blocks from bourbon
My absolute favorite thing was the real shuddered Windows, floor to ceiling that actually opened up to the French quarter. Like you could hang out the window and watch the groups go by on the haunted New Orleans tours. The fact that they stopped in front of my hotel was only slightly nerve racking The room smelled a little like mold and my ears and throat itched all night. Also, the toilet seat was loose and threatened to throw you on the floor everyone you sat on it.
At first I thought the location was good but at 3am a large group of bums would gather outside of our room fighting,singing,and yelling very loudly-so much that we were scared for our safety. They would not accept our travelocity reservations and tried to charge My credit card again, even though it was already paid for. We did not get the rooms we asked for with two queen beds. The restaurant was closed the entire time we were there too. For the price we paid the tiny room should have had a refrigerator or at least a coffee maker.
Great service even though the hotel was booked solid for ballgames in town! Awesome doorman/concierge and continental Breakfast~ Breakfast dishes could be a little bit larger - and/or a tray to carry since we had to sit outside to dine~
Pool, beds, doorman and location Desk staff and the lose of free breakfast
location price furnishings, maintenance level
Staff is wonderful. Courtyards are perfect and the location is great! Would definitely stay here again.
Great location! Street noise.
We did not have any problems. The room was adequate with good air conditioning, and the staff was friendly. We felt the hotel was a great value and the location was perfect. We were steps away from Jackson Square and a block and a half off Bourbon. The room was a little dark and outdated, but nothing I couldn't handle. They probably should renovate the bathroom sooner rather than later.
Great location. The hotel was in the French Quarter of New Orleans located 1 block from Jackson Square and 2 blocks from Bourbon Street. We never had to use our vehicle during the stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. We didn't spend a lot of time at the hotel but the room was clean and quiet. I will definitely stay there again.
The location was great as well as the morning staff Didnt care much for the night receptionist, gave a little bit of an attitude when we asked for extra towels. Oh and the pool was dirty all 3 days we were there. I thought my bathtub had a ring...geez.
Location Front desk staff could have been more friendly and the check-in process was slow and inefficient. Breakfast was minimal: stale pastries, a fruit basket, OJ and coffee.
Clean and in a great location in the French Quarter Room was a little small but we are not stay in the room folks. We were out walking and site seeing.
We could not have picked a better location to stay. We could walk out our door and be at Jackson Square. Great for walking and taking in the New Orleans culture!!!!
In general it was really nice. The court yard was really nice and clean
The location and the friendly staff.
Great location... within a few blocks of historic/tourist locations and typical regional (cajun,seafood) and gourmet dining. Excellent value.
location and parking No window in room. Breakfast was poor.
The room was beautiful; the hotel is beautiful; the staff was courteous. The elevator for the car garage broke and myself and many others were trapped there all day and I was not able to get my car out until 10pm. We had to convince the manager that he needed to pay for meals and drinks (even water) while we all waited and then he FINALLY offered hotel rooms elsewhere for the night to the ones who chose not to wait up late to get their cars out when it was fixed.
Our room was very cozy and quiet. We felt very safe and would stay there again!
location room to be ready at checkin room to be at chateau not down the road. free parking 35$ extra? seriously
Loved the fact that there was a balcony all alone the front of the rooms, it was a nice view and good spot to read the morning paper and wake up.
all the workers were friendly had true southern hospitality , great location will definately be back.
the room was to small and the tubin the bathroom was small for a child to fit in could not site in the tub was not long was a little tub and it keep runing water
excellent location breafkast
The room wasn't ready by checkin, the room had not been cleaned (bottle caps and trash still in the room), the bathroom was still a mess, no windows in the bedroom. I stayed one night before getting a room at the Marriott.
perfect location in the heart of the French Quarter, very nice atmosphere, you feel like being in a different time. Of course, lack of internet connection and fancy entertainment set comes with that
Location Climate Control - none in one room, off/on in another - controlled by front desk, Not clean, Ran out of blankets/wash cloths, Staff was apathetic
Absolutely loved the people and their help with recommendations. Helped to get a bit more of the local feel versus the tourist attraction hot spots. Have stayed before, but still a great location to get anything you want to get to, both inside and outside of the Quarter. Melanie and Allen were superb and always available and willing to go above and beyond. Just had a couple of lights that were out, but was fine. Not much water pressure at ask, and would have been nice to have a little fridge, but no complaints.
Location and friendly, very helpful staff, affordable
Great location, comfortable bed, clean bathroom. Walls and couch were filthy, light on street lit up entire room throughout the nights, breakfast always late, cold, and incorrect.
Great room with huge shower and jacuzzi tub. Bed was very comfortable. Rooms were very much in the style of the French quarter. Great for people that are not using the hotel for more than a place to sleep comfortably with great location for a French quarter experience. No bar attached
The lamothe house has an incredible location, we could walk and explore the French quarter very easily. The staff was super friendly, the pool Is beautiful, the room was clean and I loved that they used Aveda products in the hotel bathroom. I'd definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and will most likely stay here my next trip to New Orleans.
Very close and convenient to Frenchman Street...choose enough to French Quarter area without being in the middle of it all Nice quiet area, loved having the secure parking lot right there
Best location for the price in the Quarter. Although I would not suggest it for the fussy, those who want a real French Quarter experience will love it. On first impression room very small and ammenities I am use were missing. After my first walk around I realized what this hotel is really about. We loved it!
Beautiful hotel if not a bit difficult to find. A perfect French quarter inn on Royal. Phenomenal deal in mid sept.
The room was a little small but beautifully decorated
Convience to it all. Parking and fast internet right in the middle of all the fun. Kind of a maze. Floor sloped down and so did the bed causing me to have to adjust throughout the night.
Parking was almost 30 dollars a day!
The location of the hotel was very good - one block from Bourbon Street and a short walk to most of the city attractions. The room facilities were tatty and in needs of an overhaul. The hotel could be very good - it has huge potential, but lots of little things let it down. The bed was not that comfy - in fact some of the slats under the bed had been broken, the bathroom facilities were dated (and in poor maintenance), the hanging space was a joke (a tatty wooden hole), the new blinds that had been fitted were also damaged and I even found an empty food carton under the bed. Not what I expected from a hotel in the USA.
When i made the reservation I was NOT told that I would have to WALK UP 6 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS WITH NO HELP FROM THE STAFF TO CARRY LUGGAGE! Our wifi did not work..our keys did not work..there was a $150.00 deposit that was not told to us until we checked in..We were not expecting that...breakfast was extremely light which was fine but there was no where to eat beside the courtyard and most of the giests occupied that. The location was great..and it was quiet.
Very comfortable and close to everything. Courtyard was beautiful. Not for elderly or people with problems walking up and down stairs, no evevators,
its in the inthe city of new orleans the rooms are to small. no elevators
This hotel although updated has an old vibe to it. It was a great place to stay. It is not your Holiday Inn or Hilton, so if you find yourself looking for that sort of thing this is not your place. Every time someone comes back to the hotel or leaves the hotel you will hear it. Including the 5 am return from the bar. Truly it didn't really bother me because I was in New Orleans for crying out loud. I came to expect it. However, if you are someone that needs complete silence and would be bothered by people getting back at all hours of the day then you may want to reconsider Hotel Royal.
the position is very good just in the middle of the french quarter the room was without a window
The only thing good about this hotel is that is located one block from Bourbon Street. My room was not cleaned even though I requested it. I had to practically beg for clean towels. There was no clock, coffee maker, or remote control for the TV. We were not even told where the included breakfast items would be in the mornings.
The staff was very friendly, including Leo. We have stayed in almost every hotel in the Quarter & 905 Royal has consistently been a pleasant place to stay. The hot water is very slow to get warm in the shower.
great Location!
Intimate room setting. Great location...balconies overlook royal st.
Staff was helpfull, good location Hotel was very dated. The old time style is nice, but not if the walpaper is peeling, and things have not been updated since 1973. From shower head to single light and mirror in bathroom that is old, hotel needs a renovation badly.
kitchen and location, very convenient no office, just a person to let me in.
Perfect location to French quarter.clean friendly and great price. No parking,had to park away from room but it was still worth it
Location is good, rooms are big enough, walls are thin, AC works well. It was uncomfortable to hear the way the owners spoke to the staff. Harsh, short tempered and malevolent.
The hotel is located in the middle of the French quarter, yet it's a quiet area. You're close to the antique shops, Jackson square, Bourbon street - everything is walking distance. The room was spacious and clean. Good value for money. No reception desk, staff attentive but not very welcoming.
The balcony was the best feature of the hotel. We sat out there in the mornings and early evenings having coffee or a drink and watched a wedding parade and other interesting New Orleans events. The location was excellent, an easy walk for 50-60 somethings to the French market and Jackson Square. The room was a bit shabby.
It's a charming hotel right in the French Quarter---my room was at the top of a little stairway at the back of the building. It had a tiny kitchenette and beautiful old wall-paper, high ceilings and shuttered windows overlooking a little patio. The bed had a lovely lacy bedspread and crisp sheets. The room was rather noisy, even though it was at the back of the building. There were several different air conditioners or generators, some from the very close neighboring buildings, that would kick on and off through the evening. The room was small but adequate for a slender single---a large person or somebody with lots of luggage might have had trouble navigating.
Location Staff failed to provide promised services. Plumbing repairs in lobby area and staff demsnded access to our room numerous times. Refused to relocate us
Great location but not clean at all. I noticed our bed comforters were dirty as well as the sheets. Have a gut feeling they were not changed. Watch out for bed bugs. Management needs to get on how clean the room and bathroom is. The shower had that brown rust on the walls. Personally I would not stay there again.
The outlets in my room were almost non-functional. When I tried to plug in an appliance, the plug would wiggle and fall out just enough that it would lose contact and stop working. The TV wouldn't turn on because of this, and I had to plug the hair dryer in next to the door because the outlet in the bathroom didn't work.
This hotel has a lot of character. Don't expect anything luxury but I really like this hotel. It was clean and comfortable enough for the quarter and the price was half of other hotels. Room 110 is large and secluded in the back. It opens up onto the court yard. The location of this hotel is amazing! Side note: parking is expensive but it's the same everywhere.
The complimentary breakfast was a beautiful silver tray breakfast in bed. It was a very pleasant surprise. The court yard was beautiful and the room very comfortable. the only negative i have is that they were under construction and started working loudly very early in the morning.
Location was excellent! Staff was friendly. The room was small but sufficient. The bathroom was so small and quite uncomfortable. Furniture old but not bothersome. I wished there were two chairs in the room for convenience. We ended up eating on the floor and using our one chair as a table.
I stayed for six nights in July. Summer prices were excellent, and the location is superb. According to one of the many Haunted New Orleans tours that went by, the Jackson Hotel is one of the most haunted places in NOLA. I heard nothing, spooky or otherwise, in this quiet gem. Small room, but who stays in their room for long when they're staying in the Quarter?
Warm & very helpful staff Beautiful / Comfortable accomadations Location on Rotal was central to everythjng we could walk to Very clean/ Staff very efficient Serivice of Continental Breakfast a lovely start to our day The Bathroom is a bit small but big soft towels were in abundance
The location was great- within a short walk to restaurants and bars, but just far enough from the busy spots to be quiet. The staff was polite and helpful. The room was small but sufficient for 2 people. Parking is valet only about $35 per night plus tax, although you have unlimited in/our privileges. You don't need your car really for the location though. The room was not clean. Stains on the sheets and towels, floor looked filthy, and vomit remains left around the bottom of the toilet. I don't care about how the hotel looks, but cleanliness is a must and this was nowhere near clean. The breakfast is just tea/coffee plus a croissant. That is fine but the croissants were not very good so I recommend getting the coffee then going somewhere for better food.
We had a beautiful balcony room that we ate our complimentary breakfast on every morning. The bed was enormous and really comfy high ceiling and nice antique looking furniture beautiful court yard friendly concierge staff We didn't have hot water for a couple hours Only one roll of toilet paper stocked in the room at a time I went to use a wash cloth provided for me and there was makeup stains on it that hadn't been fully washed away sofa bed was collapsing at the foot end worker who delivered our breakfast asked for a tip
Nice trip back in time with the courtyard. This is on Royal St just one away from the infamous Bourbon St in the French Quarter. Staff was great. Room was clean. Just realize going in that this is an old town with limited opportunities to actually park anywhere except public parking several blocks away. But again, old town blocks so the walking is not bad at all. Elderly and those have difficulty walking will have to watch where you walk the entire time as the sidewalks tends to have sudden drops scattered here and there. Very uneven walking, but again, it is a very old town. I believe no one should ever have to pay $100 a night at any hotel, except for event days and unless it is some palatial suite, so this is a general knock against the hotel industry.

Austin Bay's Intel Links
Unrestricted Warfare
PDF version of Unrestricted Warfare
Reinventing Iraq: From the Weekly Standard December 9, 2002 Austin Bay discusses governing Iraq after Saddam
In a month Iraq will be the next president?s war.
From the American perspective the next president?s phase of the Iraq War will be twofold. First off, it will be a proxy war with Iran?s tyrannical mullahs. The second ?fold? will be even more strategically significant: The next president?s war will measure America?s commitment to defending democracy and promoting genuine international security in the 21st century.
The Iraqi perspective differs a shade. Iraq?s war will be yet another Iran-Iraq War, but one where the Iraqis will have an organizational advantage and a significant ideological edge.
Iraq?s organizational advantage has two components. First and foremost Iraq engages Iran with the U.S. as an active ally -- unless the next U.S. president proves feckless and makes the inexcusably stupid mistake of denying Iraq American diplomatic and military support in a crisis.
Iraq?s second organizational advantage is its increasingly capable military and more responsive government.
The Iraqis point to Operation Charge of the Knights as their first in a series of successful security operations signaling their new capabilities and confidence. Launched in late March, Charge of the Knights targeted Shia militias (like Muktada Sadr?s Mahdi Army), criminal gangs, and the ?Special Groups? that are really guerrilla bands sponsored by Iran. Follow-on operations have reduced terrorist violence and crime, which senior officials point out are closely linked.
U.S. forces are already moving to support roles. This week U.S. Marine Corps Major General John Kelly, coalition forces commander in Anbar province, said, ?There are still 27,000 U.S. troops in the province, but they are on overwatch."
"Overwatch" is military lingo for protecting your friends while they maneuver and fight. At the tactical level, as one soldier moves and exposes himself, another "covers" him (overwatches), prepared to fire a burst from his rifle to suppress enemy troops shooting at the exposed soldier. In Anbar Province, U.S. forces have assumed ?operational-level overwatch.? If an Iraqi army commander finds his troops in a tough firefight, he can quickly request help from a U.S. ground unit.
At the strategic level, allied nations "cover" one another. Strategic overwatch in the U.S.-Iraq relationship includes deterring Tehran?s mullahs.
The next president will be tested by these robed thugs. The mullahs? nuclear quest continues and the next president must thwart that quest. The mullahs will make trouble in Lebanon and stir conflicts throughout the Middle East and Central Asia (e.g. Afghanistan and Pakistan).
However, Iraq will be the central battle front with Tehran, militarily, diplomatically and morally.
Iraq?s emerging democracy presents the mullahs with a complex challenge. Democracy gives Iraq an ideological advantage in its struggle with Iran?s dictatorship. Disgust and discontent has become a way of life inside Iran. The Khomeinist revolution has failed and fossilized as a corrupt theocracy backed by secret police and Revolutionary Guards. The Iranian people look west and see Iraqi Arabs and Kurds seizing a historic opportunity to create their own open, democratic system -- and they know the mullahs are the gangsters denying them that opportunity.
Moreover, Iraq?s Shia majority offers an ?alternative political vision? (i.e., democracy) to Iran?s, and its Hezbollah puppet?s, Shia Islamist authoritarianism.
In 1979, when the Ayatollah Khomeini toppled the Shah of Iran, the Khomeinists had a radical vision propelling them, with the U.S. damned as The Great Satan. Now the Ayatollah?s heirs wage a strategic delaying action, relying on terror at home and abroad to remain in control.
The mullahs provide an example of America?s most common 21st century opponent -- a failed clique of violent ideologues with either petrodollar or narcotics income whose chief tools of foreign policy are assassination, terrorism and crime.
It?s why the next American president must win his Iraq War.

Ultimate Guide to Dating Asian Women
What I've Learned About Meeting Asian Women
It's been a while since I've used Asian dating sites, in fact, not since prior to Y2K, if anyone can remember what that was. A ways back, anyway, and I've now been married to a wonderful Asian woman for almost 12 years — all starting with those dating sites when I knew nothing about Asian women except that I was attracted to them.
As for your personal attraction to Asian women, let me forewarn you a bit. If you're looking for a woman who will "stand by her man" and say nothing while do you as please, forget it. That woman isn't Asian, or anything else that I know of.
Asian women are full of determination and expect their men to be mature. In fact, one Asian woman I dated told me: "Men are like fine wine. The older they get, they better they are." Meaning, of course, that they've gotten all the nonsense out of them.
Maybe I'm being a bit too harsh. Asian women can be extremely sweet and trusting by nature, but the cultural DNA is always there. So if you're seeking a woman of rare beauty, refinement, culture and smarts, as well as a premier domestic support system, you're looking in the right place, but ultimately you'll have to own up to your part of the bargain.
I hope I haven't scares you off, because I personally wouldn't trade my wife for anyone of any race or culture.
How about sex? you ask. Asians, like everyone else, are all different when it comes to their bedroom desires, but you won't be disappointed. I wouldn't recommend an arranged or blind marriage, but if you go through a common dating ritual, you'll find out everything you need to know about your woman. And to be blunt, if sex is all you desire, then yes, Asian women get horny too. You may not find too many one-night stands, though. Asian women know how to protect themselves and treasure their bodies.
Still, with all these advisories, I consider Asian women the finest spouses, girlfriends and lovers on the face of the planet. Be prepared for happiness, but be prepared to do your part.
What Does It Take to Find an Asian?
Asian women, of course, come in two types — those brought up here either from birth or a young age, and those we often call (derisively at times) FOBs (fresh off the boat). There will be a difference. Those bred here tend to be more like other American women (pardon the generalization), so if you're looking for the qualities I mentioned above, you may want to go FOB. Still, as Tiger Mom Amy Chua showed everyone, Asian women brought up in the States can be imbued with all kinds of great qualities and challenges. So it's an individual thing, and perhaps my dichotomy doesn't always pertain. Don't let any distinction deter you from pursuing any Asian woman who attracts you. They're mostly winners, and you will be too.
That being said, regardless of their origins, where are the best places to find and meet Asian women? If you're referring to physical locations, then obviously it helps if you live in or around a fairly large city. Here in Southern California where I reside, there are whole communities built up around Asian immigrants, going by the tags of Little Tokyo, Thai Town, KTown (Korean) and so on. While you'll find Asians often sticking to these communities, they usually have to work, shop and hang out elsewhere. So the malls, restaurants, nightclubs and the usual haunts will be frequently by Asian women.
This is not to say you can't go to one of their enclaves to meet and get to know Asian women. The actor Nicholas Cage met his gorgeous Korean wife at a nightclub in L.A.'s KTown (wonder if they're still married). So it all comes down to your resourcefulness and confidence in venturing to where the Asians are and then striking a conversation. No talk=no babe.
I remember even meeting two very attractive Korean women while driving in Pasadena, where I used to live. Somehow, I got up the nerve to roll down my window and ask them to pull over. Incredibly, they did. I took them both to lunch at a Korean barbecue and ended up dating one for a while. Problem was, it was the other one to whom I was attracted, and she wasn't interested. When I finally managed to pin her down and ask for a date, she was heading off to the homeland for an extended stay. I gave up on that dream and moved on.
The Solution: Understanding Asians and Asian Culture
Where I ultimately met my wife, however, was through an Asian dating site. It wasn't a direct rendezvous, however. I first had to endure a date with an Asian woman who couldn't stand me, nor I her. Now here's the interesting part: If you make the effort, eventually the stars will align and you'll find your dream Asian. This women who detested me and vice versa (no need to go into the reasons) ended up calling me and introducing me to the woman who became my loving wife. And it all started with that disastrous date from the Asian dating site. (Okay, out of all the women I met through dating sites, only one or two were disasters; most of the women were, like me, putting out feelers, looking for the right match, and they were more than pleasant and easy to get along with.)

Now, as someone who's gone on the record about his near-obsession with ramen, this sounds pretty amazing to me, albeit also kind of ridiculous. The X-Ramen Radar works by using Sony's PlaceEngine system that uses a database of local WiFi hotspots to determine your location, then cross-references it with a database of ramen shops. Or something, it's a little confusing and Japan-only. It could clearly be used for anything, but the fact that it's made exclusively for ramen joints just makes it a real head scratcher.

This family of new Pocket DVD-RRW drive is one of the first in the market that comes with both the high speed eSATA and the ubiquitous USB 2.0 interface. When connected to eSATA port, you are assured of the fastest DVD writing and smooth movie play back. While the USB interface also assures this DVD-RRW drive be able to attach to practically any computer.
Comes with choice of light weight plastic enclosure or the sturdy anodized aluminum for use in heavy duty environment, this Pocket eSATA/USB DVD-RRW can be powered directly from most USB ports* for true mobility in using it with the Notebook. This Pocket DVD-RRW supports practically all type of DVD or CD contents in various file formats The bundled software also supports mastering and copying of DVD and CD material under Windows OS.
Securing the data
You can now secure your data on the DVD or CD disc with AES 256-bit encryption by simply installing the optional Addonics CipherUSB between the Pocket Blu-ray/DVDRW and the USB port of the PC. There is no addtional software to install or password to remembrr to use the CiperUSB. Once encrypted, the information on the disc will be invisible in any Blu-Ray or DVD/CD player. It is a simple and cost effective solution to secure any sensitive information stored in the optical media. For more information, please review the CipherUSB product page.
Addonics today came out with two useful devices a portable Blu-ray drive and a portable DVD drive. Both of them are targeted towards netbook users and boast of tiny profiles, so that you can easily put them in your backpack and enjoy the latest movies on-the-go. What's more, the Pocket Blu-ray/DVDRW and the Pocket DVD-RRW drive are the industry's first portable optical drives with built-in eSATA and USB interface.
View articleSince desktop computers are slowly, but surely going obsolete, with portable systems (such as notebooks, netbooks or ultra-portables) becoming the choice for everyday computing tasks, the need for external optical drives also becomes direr, especially since a whole category of the aforementioned computers (netbooks, to be precise) don't even pack such a unit.
View articleI learned the hard way when I used my netbook at CES back in January that in the business world, many people still give out information on CDs or DVDs.
View article* Addonics has successfully tested the Pocket CD II, DVD II and DVD/CDRW II using Direct power from USB ports on various brands of Notebook and Desktop computers. However, Addonics does not guarantee the device will work with power directly from the computers as the power from the USB ports varies from different system manufacturers.
Note: starting April 1, 2012, Nero software is no longer included with the product. There aree many powerful free CD and DVD burning software available to download. The following free software titles have been verified with the Addonics DVD/CDRW drive - CDBurnerXP, ImgBurn, Burrrn. All three software titles have received excellent rating.

The Witch's Runes are simple pictograms that match concepts with symbols that are more understandable in this modern world. I came across the Witch's Runes in my late teen years, and they made an impression on me. They were few in numbers, simple for me to tell apart from one another, and easy to understand. In some ways, the Witch's Runes were

When it comes to the matter of mysterious creatures and unknown animals, one of the most famous of all is Nessie—the monstrous denizen of Scotland's huge Loch Ness. For centuries stories have surfaced of a creature—or, far more likely, a colony of creatures—lurking deep in the waters of the ancient loch, and occasionally surfacing to tantalize and terrify locals and tourists. But, what are the Nessies? The theories are many. The answers, however, are few. Nick Redfern, author of the new Nessie, provides 3 of the more intriguing suggestions.

Pagan religion is visual. We don't just hear our gods, we see them! The practice of theurgy teaches us how to see the gods in three forms: their representation in art, in the faces of other people, and in the temple of our own bodies. Brandy Williams, author of the new For the Love of the Gods, explains each of these practices and how they all are flourishing today.

(1932- )
"Both a draftsperson and a textile artist, Ruth Qaulluaryuk is best known for her lyrical depictions of the Arctic, particularly its abundant wildlife, dense, colorful vegetation, and virgin spaces. Qaulluaryuk has no formal training as an artist, but, like many Inuit women of her generation, she had adapted her traditional sewing skills and aesthetic sensibilities to the making of wall-hangings and drawings.
"Born and raised in the remote Back River area of the Keewatin region of the Northwest Territories, Canada, Qaulluaryuk lived a traditional nomadic existence until the late 1950s, when a severe shortage of land foods led to starvation among the Inuit in the Central Arctic. Qaulluaryuk and her family reluctantly moved to the nearby settlement of Baker Lake in the early 1970s to find relief from the hardships of camp life and to enable the children to go to school. Hers was one of the last families to do so.
"In order to contribute to the family income Qaulluaryuk turned her hand to sewing clothing and craft items for sale to the newly established Arts and Crafts program operated by the federal government…. Qaulluaryuk is the daughter of Baker Lake artist Luke Anguhadluq. Her husband, Josiah Nuilaalik, is also an artist in Baker Lake. They have seven children and numerous grandchildren."

Despite a hard-fought effort, Max Reinhart and the Abbotsford Heat suffered a slow defeat to the Hamilton Bulldogs on Sunday night.
Bulldogs hand Heat their first regulation defeat
By Staff Writer - Abbotsford News
Published: October 28, 2012 9:00 PM
Updated: October 29, 2012 1:11 PM
The Hamilton Bulldogs accomplished two things against the Abbotsford Heat on Sunday that no opposing team had previously this season.
Aaron Palushaj's man-advantage goal at 10:38 of the second period was the first power-play marker the Heat have surrendered over the first seven games of the campaign, and it stood up as the game-winner in the Bulldogs' 2-1 triumph at Copps Coliseum. It was the first regulation-time loss for Abbotsford (4-1-2) this season.
All the scoring came in the middle frame. Heat forward Roman Horak continued his red-hot play, opening the scoring at the 3:36 mark. It was his AHL-leading seventh goal of the season (Drayson Bowman of the Charlotte Checkers also has seven), and extended his point streak to seven games.
But Hamilton's Blake Geoffrion would level the score less than three minutes later, and Palushaj got the go-ahead marker with Adam Estoclet in the penalty box for slashing. The goal snapped Abby's season-opening streak of 26 successful penalty kills, but they still lead the AHL with a 96.4 per cent PK efficiency.
Danny Taylor stopped 28 of 30 shots in the losing effort, while his Toronto counterpart Robert Mayer picked up the win with a 28-save outing.
• Up next for the Heat is a two-game home set against the Toronto Marlies. The puck drops at 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre.

Report: iPad Air & iPad mini Retina to gain Touch ID, 8MP camera, A8 chip this year
Apple may be prepping the 2014 iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display models to include Touch ID, among other new additions. According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the prediction is that we'll see an expected chip bump with the Apple A8 processor, rear iSight camera resolution increased to 8MP, and the aforementioned Touch ID fingerprint recognition security feature in both the iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display.
Kuo also believes that this year's iPads will launch earlier than they did last year, which would imply that they should arrive sooner than November. As for the long-rumored 12.9-inch iPad? Kuo says that the larger tablet is unlikely to appear in 2014.
