Historical Traveler Reviews Palazzo Priuli Venice
Quiet and convenient
We were at Palazzo Priuli the first week of August. When we arrived we were disappointed as our room wasn't at the main building but at the annexe (two minutes walking distance). Also we had booked one of the special rooms and we were expecting to be at one of the Palazzo's high ceilings rooms. The room was at the first floor of the annexe with its own balcony overlooking the small entrance patio. It was pretty new and reasonably well decorated. although they forgot the curtains. Bathroom, air conditioning and the rest of the services worked well. The breakfast served at the main building was also OK and more than you can expect for a continental breakfast. The best of the Priuli is its location: less than 10 minutes walking distance from the S.Zaccaria vaporetto stop and San Marcos piazza, but like kilometers away of the crowed streets. The hotel is at an extremely quiet area, surrounded by two Canals and it has a couple of Mascaras workshops in front that is worthy visiting. I'll come back to Priuli again.
Very Dissapointing
We have just returned from Venice (15 August 2004). Our intention was to stay here for the first three nights and then move down to Lake Garda. We arrived at the hotel at about 11.30 am and were told by the manager to go for a walk and come back at 2 pm when our room would be available. We came back about 3 pm to be told by the manager that there was a problem with our side of the hotel in that they had no hot water and no airconditioning (we asked another guest about this and he said that so far as he was aware there were no problems). The manager said he was going to move us to another hotel. My husband complained about being moved and the manager was less than courteous (think Basil Fawlty style less than courteous!!). However they moved us to the lissiardi palace ( which was absolutely wonderful).
The next day we checked in and really wished that we had not bothered. We were in one of the annex rooms about a two minute walk to the hotel. The room was pleasant enough but certainly not of a 4 star rating. The decoration was bland and the antiques (well really you would not give them room in most homes). The bathroom was bland in the extreme with fairly nasty products. The television in the room was a small portable.
Breakfast was adequate however the arrangements were absolutely appaling. We estimated they had around 30+ guests booked in to the main hotel and annexes. The breakfast room had only 9 tables ! There was always a queue to get a table and then the hotel only had one waitress who worked very hard.
The hotel has no bar although the mini bar in the room was very cheap compared to the rest of the prices in venice.
As an upside the hotel was nicely located.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and indeed would never stay in it again - even if it was for nothing!!
Great hotel on a quiet canal
We stayed here for three nights during the high tourist season, and overall we really liked the hotel. Our rooms were in the secondary building, one block away from the main palazzo. While this building was not as visually stunning as the main hotel, it was quieter and had access to a rooftop patio. It also has a tiny, three person elevator which feels like the slowest lift on the planet. Our rooms were all clean and comfortable, with a large tub, but cheap, tiny toiletries. The decor included beatiful Murano glass chandeliers. The breakfast, which is served in the main hotel in a posh setting, was tasty but not exceptional, and there were often bottlenecks where the number of guests was greater than the available tables, so lingering over breakfast is not an option. Some of the staff were very nice and helpful, others less so. The best thing is that it is located in a spot that is really close to all of the overtrafficked tourist stuff, but it is also possible to avoid the crowds if you want to.
Venice was GREAT, but Priuli....
We arrived to the Hotel Priuli and were immediately welcomed with: "We won't have your room until tomorrow; we have arranged accomodations for you in our neighboring hotel". We did have long-standing reservations at the Priuli, and they simply overbooked with no apologies. We told them that this was unacceptable, and they agreed to discount our room charge and we accepted out of exhaustion. The hotel was 'okay', not great; the other hotels in Italy that we had experienced were much more accomodating and friendly. When checking out of the hotel, they had somehow forgotten about the promised discount for making us change hotels (twice). Our recommendation is to stay somewhere else; no need to ruin your trip due to uncaring management.
Avoid this hotel
Avoid this hotel. Grossly overpriced, for a building in which work was still being done. It is unbelievable that this is a 4* hotel, even in Venice. Service was incompetent, breakfast no more than adequate, rooms tiny (even for Venice) - I couldn't even stand up in my daughters'. The hotel managed to "lose" my daughter's pyjamas as they serviced the room - God knows how. Every one of many times I asked about progress on finding them, nobody had heard of the complaint before. No compensation was given. I have written to complain but have received no reply.
Loved it!!
Stayed in December 2004. A fantastic hotel. We got a great deal from Expedia. It has gone up in price tremendously from when we booked in Feb 2003. Great rooms - stylish, lovely bathroom; super buffet breakfast. Lesley Traves
Style, But Little Practicality
Stayed here in late October '03. Despite having reserved several weeks in advance, we had to stay at another hotel for the first of our four nights in Venice. We were told by the management of the Priuli that the hot water wasn't working "on that side of the hotel". Mysteriously, when we arrived in the morning to drop off our luggage, knowing we could not yet check in, no one advised us of this problem. Instead they waited until we returned several hours later, after lunch. What choice did we have, at that point, but to follow meekly along as our luggage was carried to another, much less desirable hotel in the same neighborhood? Once we were able to return to the Priuli, we discovered that it had many things going for it: an excellent location, clean, though compact rooms, decorated with great style, and a willing, though somewhat overtaxed staff. Some basic practicalities have been overlooked, however. For instance, although there is a large armoire in each room, there is virtually no shelf space. So, unless everything you wear can be hung up, you're out of luck. The small but immaculate bathroom was also lacking in detail: the shower drain backed up, and you were only provided with one of those itsy-bitsy bars of soap that seem more like a slice of expensive cheese than a tool for cleaning the adult human body. Whoever decorated this hotel deserves plaudits, as does the person who chose the site. Now if they could just get into the nitty-gritty of what even the most sophisticated travellers are looking for on a practical level, they'd have a true winner on their hands!
Good hotel, but..
We stayed there Dec'03. A great location, very friendly staff and good service, great buffet breakfast - nice atmosphere and just the type of location and building you would like to stay in when in Venice.
However...make sure you check whether or not you are in the main building. There is an annex - which is about 30metres away and the rooms are on the top floor (5th floor). The lift was not working when we were there and you need to go outside to the other building for breakfast, etc... While our rooms in the annex were good, you are definitely not in the 'palazzo' and feel a bit second rate. However, some people may prefer this feeling of independence. The annex building is also a traditional building, but a rather ordinary one..
Highly recopmmended
We stayed here for three nights in August 2003. It is a well located hotel, very handy for St Mark's Square. Our room was large and comfortable, and we had a separate child's room adjacent to it. The view of the canal from the bathroom was just what you would expect of Venice. Breakfast was nothing special, but adequate. There is no bar or dinner restaurant in this hotel but we didn't notice the lack of it, as there are many restaurants nearby. Palazzo Priuli is a very historic building and overall it was a great place to stay.The only downside is that we had a small sum of money stolen from the child's room. (10 Euro). While this wasn't a great deal to lose, it made us uncomfortable - be sure to put everything in the safe.
Magical Palazzo Priuli
We had the pleasure of spending a few nights in Palazzo Priuli. It was a truly excellent little hotel. Our room was magnificent, with palatial proportions, and a beautiful bathroom ( ours had canal views, so you could be serenaded by the gondoliers as they went by!) The staff were very professional, and helpful, and went beyond the call of duty to be of service. We really recommend this conveniently located hotel.

8 September, Trieste to Venice
We had a leisurely start to the day, with our pick for the train station not till after 2 pm. The train ride was pleasant enough, but having to negotiate the steps at the first stop in Venice (to get a second train to take us to the station where could get a water taxi) was a pain in the neck. We rushed from platform 9 to platform 3, to arrive just …

Venice, busy and so much to see!!!
We arrived in Venice and took a Water Bus to the hotel... It took some getting used to find out where we were and how to navigate around town but we got it. My relatives arrived later that day and we walked around the small alley ways finding ourselves in San Marco's Square. We took in the sites and enjoyed a fine dinner with relatives sharing a few laughs... Tomorrow we plan on doing some shopping and the Gondola ...

... for €12 we could take an elevator up the belfry. I thought it was a bit expensive but later decided to do it anyway. I'm glad we did because the views from the top were fantastic. It was a bit foggy today but still nice. We caught another vaporetto over to the main island and walked around the shops and got a gelato. Now the gondoliers here were the famous blue and white hooped shirts and they are the norm. It was funny to see a gondolier wearing a red and white one. ...

A variety of materials and containers can be used to fashion a birdbath for your yard or garden. This guide is about homemade birdbath ideas.
Is it possible to take an old tire and make it into a bird bath? If so what would be the steps to take in making one?
Some people make bird baths, veggie gardens, etc., from old car tires, however, tires contain extremely toxic chemicals that can leach into the water of a bird bath and into garden soil-e.g. arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, chromium, manganese, mercury, lead, sulfur, and zinc. I wonder about the poor birds who have happily used a bird bath, only to become ill and die.
I agree with DCA. If you really care enough about the birds to want to make a bath for them, use your imagination and come up with something safer. There are articles here on ThriftyFun for making containers from Hypertufa. You might like the craft and I'm sure your bird bath would be much prettier than one made from a tire.
If you do make one from Hypertufa, be sure to post a picture of it. We'd all like to see it!
This is my "Hippy Birdbath". I made it out of a PVC pipe and a hub cap. I used a glue, "Glue All", to put them together. It took a day to dry. Then I placed it in my rocks. The birds love it.
This project consists of two items found at the thrift store. A pedestal of some sort and a dinner plate plus some other items to dress it up. The end result a very pretty bird bath.
By John from Wichita, KS
Money being so tight I decided to make my daughter a birdbath for Mother's Day. Birdbaths can be expensive this one only cost me $5.00 to make and I'm pretty sure she will love it! This project is easy to make!
Approximate Time: 30 minutes to make, per directions for glue drying time
That's it! You made a birdbath. Good job! :)
By Jackie from Salisbury, MD
Don't throw out that leaking bird bath! Make it into your own work of art. And that old chipped plate, you didn't know what to do with, can adorn your masterpiece. My piece is in memory of my Irish grandmother, Kay. I had a few of her old yellow rose plates which I fondly remember having meals on as a child, which also brings back memories of staying with her on summer vacation.
I added shells to my work, in memory of all the days we played in the sand on the Jersey shore. The green glass marbles are for her Emerald Isle (as she called her Ireland). I hope this project can fill you with fond memories and get your creative juices flowing.
If you have never worked with cement, you might want to start with a smaller project first, like a stepping stone. This will give you a feel of working with cement and the sharp pieces you'll be pushing into the cement. This is my 1st larger piece and I'm still learning, it's not perfect, but it fills my garden with memories.
Approximate Time: 3-4 hours
This is a cute way to make a bird bath or bird feeder using a grapevine wreath. Get a grapevine wreath and a shallow planter bottom that you put under the planter to hold water in.
This is a guide about making a flower pot bird bath. Using a few inexpensive terra cotta flower pots you can make a beautiful bird bath for your garden. This is a guide about making a flower pot bird bath.
I like to put a trash bag, folded in half or to whatever size I want it and held down by rocks out in the garden and then when it rains, the water puddles and makes a great bird bath. They appear to just love it. You can use recycled plastic or garbage bags for it. They enjoy taking a bath so much in the summer.
By Robyn Fed from Hampton, TN
I have been making birdbaths using vases, glasses, bowls, plates, etc. I'm in the process of making one using purple glassware, which is somewhat difficult to find. I did find a vase that matches perfectly, however, it is plastic. Will this work? Any experience with using plastic with the glass?
Before using any plastic for food or water, for your own use, or for animals, be well informed of the classification of plastics, that is the official code number ranging from 1 to 7, printed in the middle of the chasing arrows symbol that should appear on all plastic object. This code warns you about the chemical toxins that can migrate to food or drinks. The less toxic to use are plastic labeled 1, 2 and 4. Apart from the toxicity of plastics and the recycling problems involved, the second consequence of using plastic containers is that they are more subject to being scratched when being cleaned than glass or metal or earthware. In these scratches, bacteria will develop and corrupt food or drinks . (for more information about the plastics codes see : http://eartheasy.com/blog/2012/05/plastics-by-the-numbers/ )
I wanted a bird bath, but did not want something that my son would try to tip over. So I went to a discount store and found a large shallow glazed serving dish, the one I found happened to be in the shape of a yellow chick, but there were more traditional round or square ones. I put it in the garden right on the ground with some mulch around it to hold it in place, and filled it with water. The birds love it and, during the recent drought we have had, I have seen my local family of bunnies coming in for a drink as well.
Total cost: about $3.50, much less than a designer birdbath. And the glazed surface makes it easy to keep clean! I actually just run it through the dishwasher about once a week.
By Regina from Rochester, NY
You can make a bird bath with a trash can lid by turning it upside down and attaching it to the top of a pedestal. A short fence post works well for the pedestal and metal trash can lids seem to work the best for the bath. It's easier to attach the lid if you hacksaw off the handle. Decorate the lid with paint.
I am looking for molds to make my own birdbaths with cement. Any suggestions on where to find them? Thanks.
Jane from Edwardsburg, MI
You can use a regular ceramic mold. It is made of plaster. There are many mold companies to choose your mold from if you choose this type but they dont come cheap. You may want to ask your local ceramics studio if they have a used mold for sale which will be much much cheaper and will work just as well or even try the freecycle website in your area. Best of luck :)
A long time ago, I bought a children's book on how to make garden projects and it has a suggestion to use the top of a plastic trash can as a mold, and it says to dig a hole in the ground for the lid to fit, put the lid in the hole, fill with concrete a little, add a chicken wire (as a kind of "rebar" type stabilizer) and add more concrete on top of that, place the actual trash can in the middle, centering it, and let it cure there, and you can add decorative pieces such as marbles or broken tiles to suit your taste. My husband did this just this past summer with our kids and was successful. Good luck!

A lot of Force powers affect people--manipulating them, stunning them, turning them insane, holding them in stasis, healing them, buffing with resistances, etc. So, having a higher Charisma makes sense when you're using a Force power that has an effect on people. Granted, some of the powers don't have effects on people, but it's easier for game mechanics to have just one stat to keep track of.
If someone's writing a fic or RP about it, it's kind of moot, because that's all background number-crunching that really doesn't have an effect on the story itself--I'm never going to write "Jolee leveled up, boosting his Wis and Cha to 22, so now he can wipe out an entire platoon with a single thought of Force Wave if he rolls anything above 1."
From MST3K's spoof of "Hercules Unchained"--heard as Roman medic soldiers carry off an unconscious Greek Hercules on a 1950's Army green canvas stretcher: "Hi, we're IX-I-I. Did somebody dial IX-I-I?"

Social landlord says tenants not affected by collapse of water company
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Communities, Finance
Households to benefit from 4% drop in water bills - Ofwat
A social landlord has said that its tenants did not experience any financial loss or loss of services when a water company folded last year.
Housing & Care 21 was caught up in the collapse of bill management firm Smartsource Water in September 2013.
The Reading-based water company claimed it could reduce customers' water bills by more than 8%.
Smartsource was wound up after it stopped paying water companies and customers fell into arrears.
Both Housing & Care 21 and fellow social landlord Hanover Housing Association fell foul of the firm's collapse, losing around £750,000 between them.
However, Housing & Care 21 said that it reverted to direct payments to ensure its tenants were not affected, and that the financial impact on the organisation was "very negligible and therefore did not impact our financial security in any way".
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Hanover said: "Hanover entered into a water brokerage contract with Smartsource in June 2012. Under the terms of this, Smartsource would manage Hanover's communal water bills, with the intention of saving money for residents.
"A number of concerns and issues arose around the contract, and as soon as Hanover discovered this, we initiated enquiries and suspended payment. This led to us taking the decision to terminate the contract, with effect from May 2013."
Hanover says that it tried to reach a final agreement with Smartsource when it became clear the troubled company owed it just over £500,000.
The social landlord initiated legal action but at the end of September 2013, Smartsource were declared bankrupt, leaving Hanover as an unsecured creditor.
Hanover said: "No residents lost any money as a result of this issue. The payment of all water bills has been taken back in house and is being administered successfully by our finance team.
The 19,000-home provider reported the issue to the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), and employed external advisers to look at its procedures and whether there are "any lessons we could learn to ensure this does not happen again".
Hanover's steps to learn from the debacle include a "rigorous review" of its procurement processes, training right across the organisation, and action to improve the way in which it investigates new suppliers and manages contracts.
A HCA spokesperson said: "While we do not comment on individual cases, we are aware of issues at a small number of providers relating to contracts with Smartsource water and are speaking to each provider as part of our normal regulatory engagement.
"It is for boards to ensure compliance with the regulator's standards and where a commercial decision results in a significant loss this may lead us to raise questions over compliance, with any failure against our standards reflected in published regulatory judgements."

By ASC Public AffairsDecember 11, 2009
The Logistics Modernization Program, a new, web-based method of managing Army materiel assets, is coming to ASC in October 2010. It will replace two of the Army's largest legacy systems, the more than 30-year-old Commodity Command Standard System (CCSS) and the Standard Depot System (SDS).
"LMP will integrate business processes across all of AMC's logistics systems, allowing the Army to support the warfighter more efficiently and effectively," said Scott Welker, deputy to the commanding general, who is leading ASC's LMP deployment.
LMP will be deployed to about 300 users in ASC headquarters as well as Army Prepositioned Stock sites in Kuwait, Qatar, Afghanistan, Italy, Japan, Korea, Charleston, S.C., and the Service Item Control Division at New Cumberland Army Depot, said Georgia Dugan, chief of the Logistics Systems Branch and ASC lead for LMP.
During its initial fielding, LMP will interface with the Army War Reserve Deployment System (AWRDS), meaning APS storage facilities will continue to use AWRDS, Dugan said.
ASC is part of the third deployment of LMP, which also includes TACOM Life Cycle Management Command and Joint Munitions and Lethality (JM&L) LCMC. In development since 1999, the first deployment took place at the Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) LCMC and associated depots in 2003, with the Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) LCMC and selected depots following in May 2009.
The legacy CCSS and SDS systems being replaced are based on COBOL computer programming language.
To understand how dated CCSS and SDS technologies are, they were the standard logistics integration systems well before the more seasoned ASC employees and Soldiers were playing Pac Man on their Atari and Commodore computers.
Because the systems were developed in a "stovepipe" logistics environment, they lack the integration capability vital for today's expeditionary Army logistics strategy.
Also, support for these systems is becoming difficult due to generational changes in the workforce.
"It's a lost art - an obsolete skill," Dugan said. "There are not enough people in the workforce who have the ability to support a COBOL-based system."
LMP, on the other hand, is based on SAP software technology, used by businesses worldwide to improve their flexibility and efficiency. It is expected to provide the Army Materiel Enterprise with superior functionality throughout the supply chain to serve Soldiers more quickly and effectively than the older systems. It will integrate with the Army Enterprise Systems Integration Program (AESIP) and Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-Army) to form the foundation of the Single Army Logistics Enterprise (SALE), Dugan said.
Meanwhile, the LMP Team continues planning for the whole range of pre-deployment, deployment and follow-on processes to ensure a successful transition for ASC. The team plans to provide more information as pre-deployment preparation progresses.
For more information on ASC's transition to LMP, go to the Web site https://www.us.army.mil/suite/page/570235, or contact Mary Holburn, ASC Enterprise Integration LMP communications lead, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Harrison Ford's not exactly unfamiliar with dusting off legendary figures for the big screen. The actor returned to his iconic fedora and whip in 2008's Indiana Jones and the Legend of the Crystal Skull, and he's also rumored to return as Han Solo in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, he'll be doing something similar, but with a new character, in Adam McKay and Will Ferrell's Anchorman: The Legend Continues. As with just about everything related to Anchorman 2, the details of Ford's character are being kept mostly under wraps, but it has been announced Ford will play a legendary newsman along the lines of Tom Brokaw.
Stars of the original 2004 film Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Christina Applegate and David Koechner return for the sequel, joined by Ford, Kristen Wiig and James Marsden. Filming is set to begin this month for a Dec. 20 release.
Who cares Ford's career is in it's Nadir and no matter what kind of money the first one made it was a piece of crap by complete hacks.

Up until this morning I could run several Windows Explorer session at the same time, but we have just had an "upgrade", and now, selecting Start->My Documents just restores focus to the existing Windows Explorer session. Does anyone know how to get more than one Explorer window simultaneously?
I'm on Windows 7 but selecting My Documents also brings focus to the already opened one. I can open a new window with + E.
Also, holding down Shift and clicking on the window in the taskbar brings up a new window.
In Explorer, press Alt to get a menu bar. In the Tools>Folder Options dialog, there's an choice: "Open each folder in the same window" (your current setting) or "Open each folder in a new window" (your old setting)
On Windows 7 and 8, if Explorer is pinned to the taskbar, a new window can be opened by clicking on it with the middle mouse button.
If you mean how to open the same window multiple times, then you can simply press CTRL + N. Or, click on File -> New
You have to select the option in tools...folder options about multiple explorer windows. "launch folder windows in a separate process"
Then it will work.
That will alternate between opening an ew explorer instance and not. You can do task manager,.new..explorer.exe OK and it will open a new instance of explorer.exe
I have tested it. It works in Windows XP and Windows 7. That is the option you want. But i'd be interested if MSalter's option works for you too, do comment(on his answer or mine or your question).
It may be that MSalter's is what you're looking for, opening different windows, but i'm currently finding that I always get different windows. Like if I do start..run.. then type one folder name and press ENTER. Then do start..run.. and enter another folder name, they open in different windows always.
Update- this may be a bit fiddly. as the option MSalter mentioned is probably relevant as this one may be relevant. There may be differnces whether that same folder is already open or if it's a different folder you are opening. Certainly the above covers for an instance of the explorer process, and that may have an impact. i'll have a further look as this may potentially be a bit fiddly. Though for sure it's either MSalter's option or the option I mention here, or a mixture. Though I see Florin mentions a solution too.
one possible solution might be opening notepad, pasting this code, and saving the file as, for example,
this code (or newly created batch file) lets user start as many windows file explorers (

Munchkin Christmas Lite
Kick down the door! Defeat the monster! Take the treasure! Munchkin has been a gaming phenomenon for fifteen years, and now we're giving you a great introduction to the game. Munchkin Christmas Lite is a standalone game, and can also be used as an expansion for existing Munchkin games!
Munchkin Kittens
The ancient Egyptians worshipped cats.
Which clearly explains what happened to them. Cats may be cute, but they've got teeth, claws and siege weaponry? Munchkin Kittens has 30 new cards that some of you may be allergic to. Don't be fooled . . . they're adorable, but deadly!
This is an expansion for Munchkin. It is not a stand-alone game. This is NOT a collectible or randomized set. Every Kittens pack is the same as every other.

Awesome. Hubby said it was addicting. Used 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder in lieu of the seeds and omitted the coriander. Had leftovers heated and served over brown rice. Seems to get spicier after a few days in the fridge!
This was excellent. I made some substitutions with what I had on hand: veggie broth for chicken, 1/2 cup red lentils and 1/2 cup brown, and black mustard seeds for the yellow. Mildly spicy with a nice hint of coconut. This is a winner. Will definitely make again. Thanks.
Total comfort food... I made this to go along with some leftover Low Fat Pita Chips The flavors were great. Next time I think I'll try it with some soft flatbreads. Thanks!

Congress has less than a week to re-authorize the indictable firearms act.
It requires all guns have metal pieces so they'll show up in x-ray machines and metal detectors.
The law has been in place since 1988.
It's been unanimously re-authorized twice, but now some in Congress say it's outdated.
Susan Mcginnis has more on their proposed changes.

Can you believe this? James Mielke, a current 1up.com Staff Member and a former writer for EGM, actually edited a post I made on his blog to make me look bad. The short version of this goes like this:
- Him: Hey, Metroid Prime 3 sucks because it doesn't have online multiplayer or co-op. GRR!
Me: Wait, what? Metroid doesn't need multiplayer, it goes against the hallmarks of the series. Besides, MP2's multiplayer was awful and Hunters on the DS wasn't much better.
Him: I am hate people like you who don't want to see thier favorite series changed because it would "spoil it's purity".
Me: What the hell are you even talking about? Saying a Metroid game needs co-op is like saying Sonic the Hedgehog needs to slow down. Don't be silly.
Him: Oh no! I upset a Nintendosaur! I'll just ignore his reasoning and call him a retard.
His Fans: Yeah, you tell'em, Mielke!
Me: You can't be serious. Man, it must be nice to have groupies. Look, let me explain my reasoning again, but this time in more detail.
* Mielke edits the above post to read something completely different.
* Blaze expected Mielke to do something to the post (namely, delete it) and backed up his response as a result, and simply copies and pastes it back in with an extra message questioning if this is the sort of professional image Mielke wants to project.
The long version, for those of you who want to know everything in explicit detail (and also so I have a back-up copy of the entire event as it appeared in the blog):
- Mielke, on his Blog, wrote:
That said, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption not having any online play is just retarded. No matter what a company does right, there's always something wrong with what's going on, and the Wii's online functionality currently extends to downloading a fancy news browser (and weather reports!) and quick downloads of old-ass games. I like old-ass games, but I also like online gaming, and Nintendo's even further behind the curve (by like, a lot) than Sony is. For now, your only real online gaming option on the Wii is Pokemon Battle Revolution and, well, that's just meh. Well, anyway, that's all for now.
And so, it began. I'll agree that Nintendo is totally behind the curve in terms of online interfaces and the like; but on Metroid needing an online mode?
- My first response to Mielke's Blog:
You know what's sad? The fact that people like you have to automatically assume that a game like Metroid Prime HAS to have online multiplayer just because it's from the first person perspective and you shoot stuff. Do you really want a repeat of Metroid Prime 2? That had awful multiplayer. And Hunters? Hunters is an unbalanced joke.
There are approximately four hundred BAZILLION other online first person shooters on the market - go play those instead. Don't ruin Metroid just because you want Quake 3 Arena with a Samus skin.
Which brings up another point: WHY would you want Metroid Multiplayer? What would make it so unique? Unless you have an idea of how you'd WANT it to play, then you're simply asking for multiplayer just for the sake OF multiplayer, which is about the most worthless addition ever.
And it's not as though I am some crazy Metroid fanboy shaking his finger at you because you're saying this or that. The only Metroid games I own are Prime 1 and Prime 2, and I never finished Prime 2 because I just didn't like it. But at the same time I recognize the fact that this is a game that does not, in any way shape or form, need online multiplayer or co-op or anything. That's not the Metroid Franchise's style. And if you don't understand that, then maybe Metroid games just aren't for you, man.
Metroid games are about the feeling of being alone on a hostile alien planet. Nobody to help you, nobody anywhere at all but space pirates and the hostile fauna that want to kill you. It's not about getting headshots or leaderboards or any of that stuff. Go play Unreal Tournament 3 if you want that stuff. There are so many other options from so many other games where multiplayer MAKES SENSE that I can't even believe you'd say something like this. Why get lost in the fray as just another game with tacked-on multiplayer when there are so many alternatives that would be better suited to that style of gameplay?
Give me a break, Mielke
Pretty harmless, I'd say. Mielke wasted no time in showing us just how big of a toolbox he was:
- In response, Mielke wrote:
I didn't say 'king of the hill versus mode,' introverts. Could be co-op, could be anything really. Any sort of online functionality would be nice, as it would be indicative that Nintendo is taking the Internet a little more seriously than they currently are. Give me a break and learn how to read.
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's people who can't stand to see any change or innovation in their game of choice. "It must always stay this way!" That's the Dragon Quest syndrome right there, and is one of the reasons why game sales are declining in Japan. The number of things Nintendo could do to add connectivity features in Metroid are endless, and yet you guys think 'online' automatically equates with 'deathmatch.' If MP3 had, say -- to make things simple for the easily-prone-to-weep-at-change -- a cooperative mode a la Gears of War (pretend for a minute that Samus meets another person in the universe that doesn't want to shoot her) that was completely optional, are you going to bitch because the feature is in there, even though you don't ever have to touch it if you don't want to? I'm sure many of you would. Fucks up the 'purity' of the experience, right? That's just sad.
If I didn't know better, I'd say James Mielke sounded like an Internet Troll! Even so, I decided to let this response sit. It's not as though I sat there fingers poised to burn him in return for his flamebait. More than a dozen responses from other users later, I decided to try and clarify my point.
- Responding to Mielke's response, I wrote:
I'm not against games changing or adding new elements; but at one point do you change things so drastically that it stops being the game you fell in love with? Every series has it's hallmarks that the franchise was built on.
Remove or change those and it stops being "Metroid" or "Halo" or "Mario" (that is, unless you claim it's a spin-off - Halo Wars, Mario Golf, Metroid Pinball, etc.). Metroid is about a certain style of gameplay, a feeling it evokes as you stalk the abandoned space stations and desolate planets, alone.
That feeling is at the very core of the franchise and has been since the first game on the NES. Without that feeling the game simply fails as a Metroid game. Saying they should try co-op or multiplayer (or really, just about anything involving going online) in a Metroid title is like saying Sonic the Hedgehog should slow down, or the next Mario game should be more realistic.
When you come in to a franchise like this, there are hallmarks you expect. Sonic goes fast. Mario isn't concerned with realism, it's about fun. Metroid has tried online components previously because of people like you demanding features just for the sake of them being there, even if they don't fit, and as a result those features have been failures, because they abandoned the hallmarks of the franchise.
It's like looking at board and pointing at a round hole, declaring "There needs to be a square peg here because other boards have square pegs in this location and I would like to see a square peg here, too."
Like I said, if that's what you truly want - maybe Metroid just isn't the franchise for you, because it's obvious the game's core themes don't appeal to you in the way they were designed to.
In the interim, I responded to a few other people in Mielke's blog, making conversation.
- Some guy named "LedZeppelin":
once a game has online play its expected that the iterations after that would have online. Metroid had online even on the DS, so one would assume that if a game on a hand held as underpowered (compared to its competitor) as the DS, you could easily do it on the Wii. its almost comparable to if Halo 3 didn't have online. you expect games that have had online (and from what i hear good online) to have online again. i respect making single player good, but when you have an online system that works perfectly well on the DS, why cant you duplicate it on the Wii? i understand that companies like insomniac are doing the same thing but they are releasing a game a year after their last one launched, and on a system thats much harder to code for and they aren't first party. Nintendo on the other hand has (comparably a MUCH easier console to develop for) and has delayed it twice (i think its twice anyway) and STILL have no online?
- My response:
Didn't you play the multiplayer in MP2:Echoes? I have. It was awful. The maps were too small, there weren't enough weapons (and what weapons were there were stupid in multiplayer context). It was the most bare-bones, boring, uninspired multiplayer mode you could ever come up with.
Hunters TRIED to improve on that and it was still a failure. Playing offline was boring as hell and playing ONLINE just meant everybody picked the same character - the one with the sniper rifle - because he was so blindingly overpowered.
It just doesn't warrent the work fitting Metroid's square peg in to Online Multiplayer's round hole.
Overall, not terribly scathing. Infact, and although I may be biased, I'd say I was fairly level headed about my responses. Mielke wasn't.
- Responding to my response to his response, Mielke wrote:
The whole 'keep your modern shit out of my precious game' attitude is fuckin' whack. You make it out like it's some crime to add something new to Metroid, and if Nintendo did, that it would suddenly not be Metroid any more. I'm gonna be 37 years old in a week, and I've been playing this shit since day 1, and I could give a fuck if Nintendo added something new in addition to the already-existing probably awesome single-player game. Now if you took something like Electroplankton and tried to make an action-platformer with stealth elements and voice-chat, I could see how you might say "OK, that doesn't really feel like Electroplankton."
But Nintendo put Metroid in a first-person mode, which in itself was a revolutionary idea. The argument could be said that if you want to play a Halo game, play Halo. Well, motherfuckers, it could easily be said that if you want to play a Metroid game, play Metroid II, not Metroid Prime. BUT, Retro did such an amazing job taking Samus' unique and idiosyncratic moves and implementing them near-flawlessly into 3D...and now you're all "STOP RIGHT THERE, DO NOT PASS GO, BRING NO OTHER PERSONS INTO THE EXPERIENCE BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE TOO MUCH." Talk about a lack of perspective. "WE MUST REMAIN ALONE IN OUR FIGHT. FOREVERZ!" I'm really glad Nintendo fans aren't the ones designing Nintendo games, that much is for certain.
And for the record, stop holding a torch for Kid Icarus. That game fucking sucks. But, at least this blog hasn't inspired uninfomed rants about how E3 is totally the most awesomest thing on Earth, or how I'm teh anti-PS3 biased cuz I don't like having to individually download dozens of DLC add-ons for my games.
Wait, you mean other blog posts of Mielke's have degenerated in to flamewars? Given his attitude here, I can't imagine why! The worst part is people actually back Mielke up.
- OhioSurferDude wrote:
I totally agree with you about Nintendo. Why is it that they get a "free pass" when it comes to online gaming? This is the freakin' year 2007 and they STILL don't have a freakin' clue or a plan when it comes to online gameplay. Why? Why is it that the press doesn't just hammer them about this? Instead, they suck up to them and drool at their feet over a gimmicky mini-game player. Unreal.
Well, fine. I'll just respond to Mielke and this other dude.
- My response to Mielke's response of... jeeze, you get the point:
"The whole 'keep your modern shit out of my precious game' attitude is fuckin' whack. You make it out like it's some crime to add something new to Metroid, and if Nintendo did, that it would suddenly not be Metroid any more."
So, what, are you basically just trolling now? Are you misunderstanding on purpose? Because that's seriously the vibe I'm getting from your responses. "U GUYZ R DUMB BECAUSE I AM TEH MILK MAN, AND MY WERD AM LAW. WHAT'S THAT IN YOUR ARGUMENT? REASONING? I'LL IGNORE THAT AND TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE FUN OF YOU INSTEAD, BECAUSE IN THE DOMAIN OF 1UP.COM, I AM KING." It must be great to have a band of groupies that will agree with you no matter what you say.
I mean, shit, are you serious? MODERN? You HONESTLY sound like you wish EVERY game had an online mode in it regardless of quality. Yeah, great, they could "add-on" multiplayer to the already great singleplayer, but guess what, oh wise Mielke? It pretty much never happens that way.
Surely being in the gaming journalism industry as long as you have, you've no doubt encountered your fair share of games where:
A) Singleplayer gets the bulk of the focus and receives a worthless, non-descript multiplayer mode that was more of an afterthought than anything. (Hello, Half-Life and Half-Life 2)
B) Multiplayer gets the bulk of the focus and recieves a worthless, non-descript singleplayer mode that is there simply as a training mode for multiplayer. (Unreal Tournament, Shadowrun, Quake)
And, hey, guess where Metroid Prime 2 Echoes fell? Could it be maybe Column A? Ding ding ding, I think we have a wiener. If they've honestly spent this long working on Metroid Prime 3, on JUST THE SINGLEPLAYER, and companies like Epic and iD software spend nearly as long tweaking and balancing MULTIPLAYER, would you really, HONESTLY see Metroid Prime 3 get delayed another 9-18 months just so you could headshot a green Samus in a map that looks like it was a holdover from Quake 3?
You wanna know why Nintendo gets a free pass? Becuse they DON'T, that's why. For how many years did everybody whine and complain because games like Mario Kart Double Dash lacked a true online mode? And guess what? Nintendo finally caved in! The biggest franchise they had that BEGGED for an online mode GOT IT. Surely, the interface for it sucks - you have to deal with friend codes, limited options, and only 75% of the courses in the game, but Mario Kart DS DID bother with online and it was pretty much the first game I bought when I got my DS Lite. We've got Mario Strikers Charged, which some people are declaring possibly the best Wii game EVER, and that supposedly has crazy good online implementation compared to most Nintendo games.
But Metroid? Metroid's TRIED multiplayer, both online and off, and it was a disaster. It's oil and water. But no, you've got some guy struttin' his stuff on his internet blog like he's Captain Vidya-game and knows in his heart that a franchise he obviously doesn't "get" needs to jump off a cliff because all his best friends in the genre are jumping off the cliff, too.
What in the hell is the matter with you people?
Yeah okay, maybe I could've been more dignified. But the problem with stupid people is they drag you down to their level and they beat you with experience. Especially when you consider that, directly after I posted this, Mielke actually edited my post to read a completely different message altogether. This is perhaps the most unprofessional thing I've seen in gaming journalism and only highlights my growing distaste for almost all Ziff Davis media. "Hey kids, we're assholes! That means you, the 14-17 market, identifies with us! Damn the man! Dawg!" About the only thing to come out of them that's even remotely tolerable is Games for Windows Magazine, because the staff there actually seems to have tact and intelligence about writing game journalism.
It's worth mentioning that I don't even own a Wii; as I've mentioned in the past, I had an opportunity to buy a Wii and instead opted to get an Xbox 360 Premium and a Nintendo DS Lite with my EB Games prize money. And this doesn't even touch upon the stupid things Mielke has said recently outside of his blog - such as, in an article previewing StarCraft 2, claiming only Korean School Children play StarCraft - then a page later extolling the virtues of the professional gamer scene in Korea, where adults play in nationally televised tournaments and even have groupies of korean girls. Or, in his review for Vampire Rain, making a borderline racist comment about... well, I'll let the comment speak for itself:
- James Mielke's Vampire Rain Review
Supposing you've maintained consciousness, it's then possible that you'll witness one of the many poorly voiced cut-scenes that highlight the general Japanese development community's inability to realistically animate anything (...)
Now, I'm not saying Vampire Rain is a good game; I was kind of skeptical of the demo - it certainly had sort of a weird budget feeling to it, but, I mean, really; of all the other ways he could've phrased that to NOT sound like an ass, he had to pick that one? I've heard from my friends that this guy used to be pretty respected when he was on the EGM staff. I guess this just goes to show you how far the mighty can fall.
Edit (July 18th): A guy I know read this blog and pointed me to an article over at The Escapist on videogame reviews, journalists, and their relationships with developers. They talk to one guy, who wished to remain anonymous - so for the purpose of the article, they called him "Arthur".
- Last year, Arthur received an assignment from a prominent editor for a prominent gaming publication to review a prominent game by a prominent developer for a prominent console. The review was scheduled to run alongside "exclusive features" offered to said editor by said developer. Merely because they were friends.
"This person actually makes no qualms over his relationship with the developer," says Arthur. "He takes trips out to Japan and visits him while he's there. He blogs all the time about being his best bud. [He] always seems to get exclusives out of them. It's blatantly obvious, and he never makes any [bones] about it. He is [the developer's] homeboy."
Unfortunately, Arthur didn't think the game was very good, so he gave it a low score and called it a day. Simple, but not.
"This is where it gets crazy," Arthur says. "[The editor] sees this review and flips out. He calls [a] meeting. ... He sits [the editorial staff] down at a table and says that this review is bullshit. ... He demands that the score be raised."
Although the rest of the team vouched for Arthur's review score, the editor in question, concerned the low score would jeopardize his relationship with the game's developer, refused to publish the review without an incremental increase in the score.
Arthur agreed to raise his review score, but even with the requested changes, the finished review painted a less than flattering picture of what was to be the site's featured game.
"[The editor] got on the phone, and he called the publisher and apologized," Arthur says. "Then, he called the developer himself ... and apologized to him."
I've been told that the editor in question - the one who demanded the review score be raised - is actually none other than James Mielke. A quick glance to Mielke's blog reveals him getting very buddy-buddy with folks like Tetsuya Miziguchi - in a less than journalistic sense. I'm not going to say with 100% certainty that the Escapist article is talking about Mielke, as I'm sure a lot of gaming journalists probably get TOO Buddy-buddy with developers (the article even suggests that publishers purposely set up areas in Expos like E3 where Journalists and Developers are supposed to make friends with one another just so journalists have a hard time giving bad scores to developers they are friends with), but, well, there is evidence to suggest it may have been him.

And you might even have to do this even if you didn't illegally download the flick -- or any other media -- in the first place.

Here's the deal: The company behind cinematic classics such as Conan the Barbarian and The Expendables , Nu Image Films, has decided to sue 2,165 alleged downloaders of Conan, according to TorrentFreak.
Music and movie companies have filed these kind of lawsuits for years, and they typically don't want to take these cases to court.
Instead, they would rather that you, John Doe I.P. address, pay them thousands to make them stop harassing you in what can probably best be described as extortion.
Nu Image filed one of these lawsuits last week targeting Conan downloaders, whose IP addresses had been exposed between December and February.
This isn't Nu Image's first rodeo, though.
The company pulled the same move with The Expendables last year, TorrentFreak notes, but the case got thrown out because many defendants did not live where the case was filed.
So, Nu Image decided to get specific and only target alleged perps in Maryland and file the suit in that same state -- in the hopes that a judge would be more likely to listen to its argument.

A client was using WP 2.? and the site broke. Rather than fixing the site, exported posts, pages, etc. as an xml file and then redid the site on a new hosting platform (there's more to the story if anyone wants to hear about it).

From the very first day of school, you are part of the Lab family and being a Lab parent comes with enormous benefits. Seeing your child receive a world-class education is certainly one, but so is being a part of the Schools' larger community. The adults at Lab, teachers and parents alike, are integral to our community of learners
When you make a contribution of any size to Lab, you are joining parents, alumni, and friends who help ensure that we can provide each child with the most outstanding education. Contributions allow Lab to continue to attract and retain the best teachers and most qualified students, and to implement programs that support a broad, vibrant, and challenging educational experience. Through our giving program, support for student financial aid has continued to grow. But we need to do more to ensure that financial constraints do not limit any students' choices.
Our goal is to have all families make a financial contribution to Lab. All we ask is that you give according to your own situation, and that you make Lab one of your family's top charitable priorities while the school is your child's educational home.
There are many ways to give your time, energy, and creativity to the Schools, ranging from a few hours each year to significant, longer-term commitments. We need your support and welcome your participation.
Every Lab parent is automatically a member of the Parents' Association (PA), which promotes educational excellence by facilitating communication and cooperation among parents, administration, faculty, students, and the Board of Directors, and by helping to implement school activities.
Every N/K, Primary, and Lower School classroom benefits from the help of volunteer Room Parents. They support the class by helping with projects, recruiting field trip chaperones, and inviting families to share traditions, cultures, and celebrations. Speak to your child's teacher to learn how you can help.
In addition to helping in the classroom or chaperoning a field trip, contact the PA about these activities that rely on parent involvement:
Dedicated volunteers are an important part of the efforts made by Lab's Office of Alumni Relations and Development. The Development Committee works to encourage ongoing philanthropic support from fellow parents, while the Connections Host Committee enhances the annual gala event through work on underwriting, ticket sales, and auction management. Contact the Development Office to learn more.

Robert Kyncl '95 is the chief business officer at YouTube where he oversees all business functions including content, sales, marketing, platforms, access, and strategy. Previously, Robert was vice president of content at Netflix, where he spearheaded the company's content acquisition for streaming TV shows and movies over the Internet. Robert has been listed in Variety's Dealmakers Impact Report as one of their "disruptors," Vanity Fair's New Establishment List, Billboard's Power 100 List, Billboard's International Power Players List, Billboard's Digital Power Players List, and AdWeek's 50 List of Vital Leaders in Tech, Media and Marketing. Robert was also the keynote speaker at the 2016 Consumer Technology Association Conference. Robert holds a Bachelor of Science degree in International Relations from SUNY New Paltz and a Masters of Business Administration degree from Pepperdine University. He is married to fellow alumna Luz Avila Kyncl '96. They reside with their two daughters in Los Angeles, California.
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Television has changed more and more in the last 10 years than in the previous 50, with firms like YouTube and Netflix reimagining the traditional viewing experience. Where content was once scarce — a few channels, a few hit shows, a few films in theaters — now it is abundant. Where media once had to have the broadest appeal possible, now narrow content focused and marketed to a particular niche can succeed. Robert Kyncl '95 will discuss the rapid changes taking place in the media marketplace and what those changes mean for media and entertainment.

Creating Economic Opportunities for Women Inc

405 14th Street Suite 712 Oakland CA 94612 USA
The mission of C.E.O. Women is to create economic opportunities for low-income immigrant and refugee women through teaching English, communications and entrepreneurship skills, so they can establish successful livelihoods. C.E.O. Women then provides women with intensive mentoring, coaching and access to capital needed to start a small business.
C.E.O. Women has a proven model of training and supporting low-income immigrant and refugee women who have dreams of starting their own businesses. We create entrepreneurs and improve women's economic livelihoods. Our data shows that we've served over 1,000 women since inception. In C.E.O. Women's 2007 annual outcomes survey of women who received more than 10 hours of service, we found the following: * 64 % of women report an average income increase of $28,000 per household. * 36 % of women start or grow businesses. * 87% of women increase their confidence speaking, writing and reading English. C.E.O. Women knows that when you help an individual woman, you help her community. C.E.O. Women measures the impact that we have on the economy both in terms of the increase in dollars spent locally as well as the total projected benefit on the local economy. By 2011, C.E.O. Women expects that graduates will contribute more than $30M in income spent in their local economies annually and provide more than $75M in economic value than they would have provided without participating in our program.

Hello all - I'm having trouble with the "White Screen of Death", but unfortunately with a brand new unused installation (which eliminates most causes I believe). A quick search shows it to be a known problem people come across from time to time, but normally when they've made a change - not when they've literally just installed.
I have a VPS, with a few wordpress sites on it, and I've been trying to add a few new wordpress installation via softaculous - which is working fine, right up until I log in on these 'clean' accounts - where I'm confronted with the WSOD. The sites themselves render perfectly well with the out of the box content.
These are obviously brand new accounts, with the default "out of the box" wordpress settings and no plug-ins. The memory limit in the php.ini file is 128, so I'm out of ideas for a fix. I thought it could be an issue with the softaculous installation (but manually installing gave the same result) or something with my VPS settings (no idea what to look for beyond erroneous plugins and memory.
Does anyone have any ideas where I could look next? My host doesn't really offer wordpress support so they have no idea how to help.
Many thanks!

Our Show
Summer Music Memories
To a certain extent, we all share the same music every summer. Once the three or four hottest club bangers of the season find their way into rotation, they're all but inescapable — blasting from every trunk speaker and boom box, popping up in every TV commercial and movie trailer. But there are also songs and albums that, regardless of when they were released, become forever linked in our minds with a particular summer and the people with whom we spent them.
On this week's episode of All Songs Considered, Bob Boilen and Robin Hilton share the songs that made their summers in Queens and Kansas, respectively — and listeners chime in with their own memories. Included are American classics from Bob Dylan and Neil Young, some virtuosic noodling from Funkadelic and Rush, and the inevitable, all-time jam that is Violent Femmes' "Blister in the Sun."

My website goes down EVERY week. It started three weeks ago and I cannot figure out why and I am very worried something very bad is going to happen.
What happens is all the files in my theme folder get deleted except three folders and then all the folders that hold my images in wp-content/uploads get deleted from July to the present, but from June prior they are not touch (07-11 get deleted 06-past don't get deleted)
