"The Restaurant" or "Last Restaurant Standing" (as Americans call it)
New series starts on BBC next week. Similar format to the previous two.
re: intuitive eggplant
Yep. Opened in the summer:
Looking at the map, I see I pass nearby on my infrequent trips to the south east so may be able to pop in for lunch if the time is right.
I enjoy watching the series, but the ultimate point does not seem that successful, so far. The couple from the first season gave up their restaurant after a few months. The second season winners were delayed in starting their restaurant due to the bad economy.
Kind of like Next Food Network Star. Not many "stars" are created.
re: Justpaula
I hope someone lets us know when it starts. I don't watch much BBC america, but loved that show last season. I did crack me up (as an american) that they felt the need to subtitle Raymond Blanc often, while leaving the Brits unsubtitled. This, of course, makes sense in the UK, but here, I found RB *much* easier to understand than a few of the contestants (loved the woman who kept pronouncing it Sir Walter Reilly).
re: LulusMom
Interesting that they subtitle RB for you - they don't here. But then he speaks much better English than I do French.
I recall a thread discussing the first series when a number of Americans had difficulty understanding some of our regional accents. But then, when I visit the US, I'm often asked if I'm from New Zealand. And, no, my accent is nothing like the Kiwi one.
I think we probably struggle less with American accents as there's so many on TV imports and film.
re: Harters
I like to think I understand most British accents (my first MIL was from Southampton, my current in-laws from Scotland - lord knows where the next batch will be from - kidding!). I've been to visit many times, but there were some accents on that particular series I found I couldn't follow. Never had a problem with RB.
But VERY odd that they don't subtitle him for you but do for us.
Now, I can see confusing an Aussie accent with a Kiwi accent, but never a Brit with a Kiwi. I think some americans just think anything from the empire sounds the same (therefore V. Beckham sounds like Prince C).
re: LulusMom
I don't think it's odd that the don't subtitle RB here - his English is pretty good and easy to understand. I LOVE Raymond and his accent - my leetle vege-tables has become a catchphrase in our house!
re: gyc
Well, he was right to cut the ones trying to open a tin with a knife. And, yes, I'm surprised he didnt also cut the smoked salmon couple . But then, mum & son had no clue about the concept of their restaurant - for heaven's sake, they have weeks if not months to prepare from when they first apply to when they actually start filming.
And it does look as if they may be changing the format. Next week seems to have them all cooking at chain restaurants. Had to admire the bottle of the hospital chef if cooking Raymond's signature choccie fondant - even if he did overcook it. But arent there some absolutely useless cooks! I mean - absolutely useless.
Ahha. On to the restaurants.
Thought this weeks challenge of working in a chain restaurant was good and certainly showed up those for whom there is probably no glimmer of hope. Nice to see local mini-chain, Tampopo, feature alongside the big players (Mrs H vaguely knows the company's founder as they both used to work for the same employer).
re: Harters
The episode was certainly very interesting, and a good way to judge how the contestants would handle the pressure of running their own restaurants.
I would say that the pairs that were assigned to the Asian stir-fry chain, especially the bartending duo, drew the short end of the stick. Wok frying technique, especially being able to handle the high heat from the special wok burners, definitely takes some practice, and seemed much harder than making pizzas or rolling sushi. I was very impressed that the other chef was able to handle it with such ease, although it might've been expected since he's one of the few contestants that actually has professional kitchen experience.
I will be looking forward to the next episode since we'll actually be able to see how each of the groups handle their own restaurants.
I like the new format, dispensing with the "challenge". I always thought that was just stringing things out for the sake of another programme. This is much tighter.
As for last night, another obvious decision. The two girls were pretty clueless - as all three judges had pointed out, they had a concept that was all but impossible to make work. Of course, it's possible (and very desirable, IMO) for a place to try to source locally raised produce - but you simply cannot do it if you want ALL local produce.
But, even worse was their delivery. OK, it was a problem having the oven break so they couldnt take cooked food out as samples. But then when they decided to have the goats cheese crostini thingy, they use French not local goats cheese - unbelievable that they couldnt source something local in a city as large as Bristol. And then chaos when it came to the evening service.
Next week, it has to be the two bar guys. Useless. Just bloody useless.
I watched the first 2 seasons recently and enjoyed them. I will have to start watching season 3 before I read the rest of this thread. I figured it was a typical "Reality" show outcome like the "Apprentice" in the USA where the winner doesn't really work for Trump....most of the time...
I suspect there were at least two couples breathing a deep sigh of relief this week. The two bar guys continued to be useless, as did the two women doing "westernised Nigerian" food. Both saved by the two soldiers deciding they didnt want to continue, so Raymond's decision was made for him.
But you'd really have to say that, amongst all of them, there really isnt a restaurant you'd want to go and eat in. And, more to the point, there certainly isnt one you think of investing in. I'd thought the "Rags to Riches" guys would probably go all the way and, whilst the food is good, the front of house guy is such an unpleasant shit, I'll not be surprised if a customer doesnt give him a Glasgow Kiss or similar.
The sheer dismalness of this continues. Not only would you never even consider investing in any of these couples, you'd never consider eating in any of their restauants.
1) you were pissed out of your head and
2) it was for a large bet.
And, even then, if it was me, I'd never be able to tell you, so you didnt lose respect for me.
But out of this awfulness, an oil slick of something truly crap rose to the surface.
The "westernised Nigerian" decided to to put on a fairly standard Brit BBQ - steak, sausages and the like. Concept completely lost. And for their "special guests" (a rugby team) they did, as requested, a carb. free meal. That's carb free as in WITH pasta, potato salad and loads of bread.
re: Harters
It's a shame about Barney and Badger. It seemed like they had the complete package and they would've been the only couple any sane person would even consider opening a restaurant with. They might as well scrap the series for lack of a single worthy winner.
re: spellweaver16
It's got to be between "Rags to Riches" and the "Front Room". Hasn't it?
At least both chefs appear to be able to cook reasonably well. It's FoH that lets them down.
But I agree about Barney & Badger. Badger was everything you expect from the owner of a good local place - from the warm welcome when you arrive to the handshake when you leave.
re: Harters
Rags and Riches will most definitely need somebody else running FoH. He improved in the last episode but I am still not convinced. Good lord, he was awful in previous episodes! Front Room has a decent cook who cares and FoH seems to be just fine. I suppose I have to root for them, with Barrington & Badger gone.
re: spellweaver16
The only thing I have against the couple running the Front Room was when the wife looked like she was going to gag when she saw the amuse bouche Raymond had sent over. I give her credit for actually tasting it, but I'm still kind of holding that against them.
re: spellweaver16
"I suppose I have to root for them,"
Yeah, but.....
.......would *you* put your own money into their business?
No, me neither!
re: Harters
As long as some of it goes towards relaxation techniques and quite possibly medication! lol
So, no-one thrown out this week. At first I wondered if it was because they were all equally crap and perhaps there's something in that.
However, Mrs Harters has a more credible theory. Folk'll remember that, in the first programme, one couple were thrown out because they were simply unsafe. Numbers reduced, it left the programme makers one week short of what they must have contracted to produce. So, everyone gets another chance to make the time right.
That said, it was another week with the cooks at both Front Room and Rags to Riches let down by Front of House.
re: Harters
Yeah that might be it. Another theory might be that Raymond really wanted to eliminate J.J. and James, but even though J.J. still couldn't cook anything they still had a better dinner service than Chris and Nathan.
So if Raymond had to eliminate the worst team he would've had to eliminate Chris and Nathan, but it would be a total joke for a team like J.J. and James that can't cook to make the finals, so he had to keep all three teams.
re: gyc
Very good point.
By the by, I was asked upthread about the winners of Series 2. My next trip south is not till February and I'm considering trying the Cheerful Soul for lunch. However, the only online reviews I've found (on TripAdvisor) are very mixed - both about food and service. It's also odd, in this day and age, that the restaurant does not have a website (although it is listed on Raymond Blanc's website this is really just a link to publicity about the opening.)
re: Harters
I'd like to know why cocktails aren't part of Summer House's regular menu? That's what they seem to be best at! But when it comes to food...maybe they should stick to bartending. I'm sick of looking at scotch eggs.
re: spellweaver16
'tis impossible to avoid the Scotch egg these days. At least in certain types of establishment.
It's become the item to , erm, "develop". Mostly not an improvement on the original. Buit I bought a great one from the farmers market the other week - duck egg, wrapped in Palma ham , then the sausage meat and a very peppery coating of breadcrumbs. Was a bargain at two quid.
Please, oh please keep us posted on this! We started watching while we were in France last month, and I miss it!! I understand the two Army guys basically gave up, but exactly what were the circumstances... I read they blew off a challenge? One guy said he couldn't cope outside the Army? (And had they both left the service to do this?)
re: waldrons
Hi Susan
You didnt really get to see what really caused the Army guys to give up. The challenge was to serve food at a farmers market and they were going to do a soup. The previous evening, there'd been a SNAFU over the cup sizes for the soup but it all seemed OK - they were going to get smaller ones early next morning. But they just didnt turn up at the market.
However, the second part of the challenge was to run a normal evening service and they were fine at this. Good food cooked; Badger really good front-of-house. You thought it was all OK.
But, yes, basically Badger said this wasnt for him as it was so different from the army. And he couldnt cope and didnt want to carry on. I don't think it was ever made clear about whether both had left the army but I assume they must have - the army doesnt just let soldiers wander off to do something else for weeks at a time. In the first show, it was mentioned that the two had only met a few weeks before, so I guess it's possible they were on a long period of leave or something.
re: Harters
John, thanks for filling in the blanks for me. Wow, it's hard to believe an Army guy would just quit like that! And they really seemed to have their feet on the ground compared to some others.
(I knew the one guy had left the Army, but wondered if the other was on a long leave. Who knows?)
re: waldrons
Since I posted, I've found a bit more. Badger had definitely left the army but Barney was still a serving soldier - a cook at a UK barracks. Bearing in mind that the couple are not really running the restaurant full-time (only opening one or two nights a week), then he could probably easily arrange time off with his senior officers.
re: Harters
Thanks for the research... that's really interesting. I guess the Army would consider it good PR to be flexible for something like this. (Even more so if they'd stuck it out and won!)
I suppose it's no surprise that Rags to Riches will be one of the finalists but I'm gob-smacked to see JJ & James also there. Yes, I know the Front Room couple would fall to pieces if they had to run a real restaurant but I thought they'd be there in the last two.
Is it now a foregone conclusion that Rags to Riches wins? You'd have to think so.
re: Harters
I was totally shocked when Raymond announced his decision. In the last two seasons, Raymond seemed to be biased towards couples with a very strong cook running the kitchen, so it was shocking to have him keep JJ and James' restaurant open week after week. If I were a betting man at the start of the series, I would've bet my money on them not lasting more than 2 weeks!
It's also really shocking how weak the teams are this series. Of course, it doesn't help when the two most well-rounded teams basically imploded, thus leaving a team that has no idea how to run the kitchen, and a team that has no idea how to run the front of the house.
I feel sorry for Sarah and David that they're going to be investing their money with either of the two remaining teams.
re: gyc
I think we're in agreement about how poor its been generally. Unlike the previous series, there doesnt seem to be any sign of couples really improving week on week - and the challenges have been silly. Whether a couple can deliver a "cooking set" to a group of punters does nothing to tell you whether they can run a restaurant. And if a man is scared about standing up in front of folk then, in my real life, I've given talks to groups of people and I know exactly how he felt.
I suspect that this is the last series we'll see. I notice, for example, that the BBC hasnt had a webpage this time and any real information about contestants, etc, is on Blanc's website. Perhaps there was a contractual obligation for three series whatever?
re: Harters
I couldn't agree more...I found myself screaming at the TV set last night although I had rightly predicted that the two posh twits would be kept in using any pathetic excuse...This series has been a complete joke and as you've said, the challenges have been mostly poor and uninteresting.
Stephen and Rebecca were probably the only ones who have worked really hard apart from Badger and the other guy but somehow the choose the telegenic, superficial ones...coincidence? I don't think so...Stephen overcame his fear to give the best demonstration by far out of the three...they also gave the best cookery lesson with the most participants and he notably improved his cooking style as the series went on. I sincerely hope that they manage to open their own restaujrant in their own terms and I wish them all the success that they thoroughly deserve.
To have put through to the final somebody who cannot cook to save his life is beyond a travesty. I used to have some respect for Monsieur Blanc but I'm afraid to say I think it's all a fix and the programme is not about food anymore but about marketing and personalities. A real shame.
re: Paula76
I can only assume it's because JJ and James have proven business acumen - ie their bar in London. Raymond also said that JJ had an "excellent palate" and could be trained.
Anyhow, I saw both of them in reception at work today (BBC). Not sure what that means in terms of them winning or not.
re: greedygirl
Oh, Gawd. I suspect if they were in the studio today, it probably means they had won and were filming some congratulatory programme. Back in a couple of hours to discuss after the whole miserable event has finished.
Doomed....doomed...we're all doomed.
What a complete farce.
Chris and Nate competently served all of their courses. Their only hiccup in the kitchen was serving tepid soup, and that was mostly down to the delay in starting dinner. Chris mentioned that he had never made souffle either and he seemed to do a competent job.
James and J.J. made risotto into wallpaper paste and completely screwed up the souffle. I'll even give their oversized hors d'oeuvres a pass since it seemed like it was relatively tasty. And even when they did well with the roast beef, it required basically very little technical skill besides sticking a piece of beef in the oven and checking its internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
I'll concede that James was probably better front of the house than Nathan, but it seemed like a fairly marginal edge in the final episode, and it didn't even begin to make up the gulf in the quality of cooking coming out of the two kitchens.
And James and J.J. wins because, once again, they used cocktails as a crutch to mask their incompetence in the kitchen??? Are Sarah and David planning on opening up a nightclub instead of a restaurant?
I am completely disgusted by the result
re: gyc
Complete farce as you say.
Even Chris' soup was apparently well flavoured even if served tepid (after having been told to keep it hanging about for an hour due to late guests).
You really have to wonder about the integrity of the judges after this. And the honesty of the programme making. Or perhaps it's just a really shrewd move - hoping any restaurant with JJ & James will fold so quickly that they won't lose much money.
I can't see myself rushing to watch another series if the BBC is daft enough to commission one.
re: Harters
The only thing I could think about after J.J.'s attempt at "risotto" was that Gordon Ramsay would've called him a donkey and kicked him out of the kitchen. Maybe that's one of the reasons why Gordon Ramsay, as much of a famewhore as he might be, still has more Michelin stars than Raymond Blanc.
re: gyc
Posters on a couple of TV boards are entirely consistent in their surprise at Blanc's decision and condemnation of it.
I like the description, by a number of posters on the BBC Food Message Board, of JJ and James as the "Winkers". Of course, it's impossible to know if this is a reference to JJ winking at RB on the first episode or if it is a typo :-0
re: Harters
I was so disgusted last night that my boyfriend almost had to restrain me so I wouldn't punch the TV set! However, from even before the episode started I said to him that I was almost sure that the 'winkers' (brilliant epithet that is, although the version with an 'a' seems to be even more fitting) would get it. It just looked as if everything had been set up with that in mind.
Then I had a brief moment of hope thinking that somebody who can not cook a basic risotto, who would order vegetables instead of picking them fresh (as Raymond always insists is soooo important!), who has no clear passion for food (another one of Raymond's pointless slogans) and who cannot even follow a recipe for soufflé could not possibly be picked...
Chris was amazing in timing, presentation and flavours throughout. He worked his behind off and demonstrated skills, talent and passion in droves...Yes; Nathan was a bit useless but come on!!! My theory is that Chris and Nathan as well as Badger & Barney and Stephen & Rebecca are from a working class background, therefore not good enough to invest in (especially from the point of view of David Moore)
Very sad and dissapointing result. I am, for one, glad I never ever set foot in any of Monsieur Blanc's establishments and I have now vowed never to do so because I have lost all respect for the guy.
re: Paula76
I reckon that the only way M. Blanc and cronies could make this work is if they hire a decent chef. JJ can then do his cocktail shaking behind the bar and have his "concepts" and James do his thing front-of-house (I actually think he's quite good F-o-H in that "smug flash git" way that makes you want to take him down the alley for a good kicking).
re: Harters
That's my guess as well. James and JJ have proven business skills, and I believe that's why they won. They'll simply hire a decent chef - or maybe Chris! i would be really, really annoyed if I was Chris and Nathan - complete travesty.
Raymond Blanc has posted a blog entry on his website explaining his reasoning for picking the winner:
In it, he states that "Chris faltered at the last hurdle - it was the final" without explaining himself. But surely Chris serving a complete menu of well-cooked dishes can't possibly be considered to have faltered given that he completely outclassed J.J. in the kitchen?
re: gyc
Much as I have respected RB over the years, I think he writes complete tosh in the blog. However, it's his money to do with as he wishes - thankfully I am not an investor in this nonense. I do, however, resent being taken for a mug by him - as a viewer - and I'm sure so do some of the other contestants.
re: Harters
I know a lot goes on in a kitchen that I don't want to know about, but I don't think I could eat in a place run by JJ and James. Filthy. JJ's dirty fingernails made me want to gag, and the hands constantly in the hair, by both of them.
Why would anyone give a restaurant to people who know nothing about food? I'm amazed on this show how little it is about the actual creation of a really good meal.
Latest news is that JJ and James are planning to open a "restaurant" in London that will sell "British tapas".
I'm still in absolute shock that they won. Like other posters, I can't see there being another series of this, which is a shame as the previous two were so much better. I just got the feeling this time that no one could really be bothered - both competitors and judges. But hey, the Js have got what they wanted - publicity and backing for opening what will essentially be a poncey bar with snacks. To my mind, not what the show was ever about.
re: juniper77
The TV boards continue to be fascinating reading. This one has someone posting claiming to be one of the contestants (and, from the comments, almost certainly is). Well worth a read - she starts posting on 21/12. you're looking for goddess_1

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ecki Beautiful Hotal at Poipu Beach Kauai Hawaii at It's best! only the breakfast offering was limited in comparison to Sheraton Waikiki and Maui November 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by tbyrd Poor restaurants & service We stayed at this hotel for our 25th anniversary and were very disappointed. Prior to arrival we had assumed that the renovations were to be completed- we were wrong. Our reservation stated "the best room in the house"- not even close. The first room we were placed in overlooked the pool and was very close to the construction work. Not only was the construction noise constant during the day, but the music and noise from the pool at night was very loud. When we spoke to the manager the next day, she agreed to move us to a different room in a different part of the hotel and gave us a free breakfast voucher for the next day. This was a much better room in a quieter part of the hotel, however we experienced issues here as well. The patio door was difficult to move back and forth and came off the track once and I ended up fixing it. After the maid cleaned the room one day, the tub drain was laying all the way outside the drain hole. I had previously requested more shampoo and conditioner (another problem) and when the housekeeping gentleman delivered it I explained the problem to him. Instead of trying to help me, he just said I had to call maintenance myself. I ended up contacting the maintenance desk and they fixed the problem. One- the maid should have reported the issue when she was cleaning/breaking the drain. Two- the housekeeping gentleman should have assisted us with the issue instead of telling us to call maintenance ourselves. The one and only restaurant at this hotel is terrible. The first night we ordered an appetizer and a hamburger. The appetizer took 30 minutes and the hamburger took 45 minutes to get to our table. Both were of very poor quality and the restaurant was not even busy. This hotel has no convenience store on the property- another low score for us. You have to drive off the property even to purchase a candy bar. We stayed at this property because of our membership in your Preferred Guest program, thinking this would be another enjoyable experience. Unfortunately we were wrong. December 8, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by rjm40 Hotel under construction! As other reviews have stated, this hotel is under construction. Bulldozers drive by the beach and pool walkway carrying construction materials. As an spg platinum, I was placed in an oceanfront room directly next to construction area-the left side patio looked directly on to area. Awake on Saturday morning to construction at 7am! Horrible experience!! Very small pool area November 28, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Rebekah You get what you pay for When I need a place to stay in Poipu that's reasonably priced, I choose the Sheraton. The rooms are old and outdated but who cares, when you have the spectacular view of the ocean right at your feet? The beds are nice, the front desk staff are so nice and really take care of you, and the location is prime. My room was located on the first floor and I had the misfortune of being underneath a family and I heard every step above. I could even hear when the kids dropped something on the floor, opened the lanai doors, or used their bathroom. It is noisy!!! Get a top floor if you can - you'll sleep better. The Sheraton has yet to find itself in the resort arena. They are trying but failing. They offer a few daily activities for the family but my experience was pitiful. From 10 to 11, there was arts and crafts. I noticed that three children were making a Thanksgiving Turkey using a pinecone which was super cute. At 10:45 I asked the woman if I could make one too (I know, I am an adult, but it was included in my $30 daily additional resort fee, so why not?) The woman replied, "You have to sign up at the Activity Desk". I said, "Can I do it now? I'd like to make one of these." She replied, "No." Um, what? No one else is here, you still have 15 minutes to go, and what? At any other true resort, I know for certain, my request would have been obliged, and happily so. I wasn't going to make a turkey from a pinecone; I just met a real life talking turkey. Aside from that, everything else is lovely at the Sheraton. You can't beat the price for the location. I do believe SPG is giving the rooms a facelift as there was major construction going on. I'll definitely stay here again when I need to! November 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by pdxmb Great location; Hotel needs revamping Stayed at Sheraton on Poipu Beach after a few days stay at the Westin Princeville on the North shore. The location is great and the beach beautiful. While the hotel lobby has been updated and is nice, the hotel property and rooms are tired and in need of updates. The property is spread out and several of the buildings are far from the beach and main action. What was more disturbing is that several of the buildings are undergoing renovations or are in bad shape and in need of repairs. While we enjoyed our stay here, I would definitely not give this property 4-stars. The pool area is also crowded and not very appealing. April 20, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kanu2 Great Oceanfront Rooms Spacious oceanfront room. Small pool but the grounds were nice & relaxing. November 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by jcmitchell21 First time in Poipu The construction at the hotel was a major distraction from an otherwise enjoyable stay. Considering we stayed a week ago and the website stated construction completion by October, I expected little, if any, construction. But full construction was still occurring. I received a few drink comps as a platinum, and was upgraded to a deluxe garden view room. I asked guest services if any upgrades were available with an ocean view. He stated I had already received my platinum upgrade and would not consider any further upgrades. Somewhat disappointing. I asked if there was some kind of consideration given due to the construction activity. Guest services simply said no. I asked if comp breakfast was given, he said it used to be but not anymore. I guess the construction is no longer an inconvenience ... I asked the hotel concierge about recommendations for food/activities. She basically handed me some pamphlets and told me what they were. This is a ok hotel in a great location. October 26, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by Sandy Great location, but hotel has declined in service and amenities. The resort fee keeps increasing and what you get for the fee keeps decreasing. We used to get breakfast buffet and mai tai happy hours with the resort fee. Even the movie night was cut. We cancelled our dinner reservations so we could attend the Zumba class on Monday night. We waited for 25 minutes and the instructor never showed up. The class was never rescheduled. The ladies at the front desk were not very friendly and one was rude to my daughter when she asked for extra shampoo and conditioner. The laundry detergent machine was broken during our entire visit. The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable. The housekeepers were very pleasant. The hotel was clean. March 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Roses Great view We loved everything about this hotel. Our view of the ocean was fantastic, and we loved the rooster wake up call every morning. The Rumfire restaurant and bar were excellent, and the service and service providers were great. It was a wonderful place to stay for our week in Kauai. November 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brich336 A bargain for the resort and location The Sheraton Kauai is a very nice resort at a good price. However, don't go in expecting a Westin with a lot of extra features, amenities, etc. The resort fits in very well with the laid back and minimalist vibe of Kauai. The pool and beach are great - perfect for just relaxing and enjoying the tremendous weather. The south side of Kauai also sees less rain than the north side which is a nice bonus. There are some great local attractions (beaches, shopping, snorkeling, etc.) and restaurants within close proximity. The one knock (and a small one at that) is the food/restaurants. Service was lacking at Lavas. Everyone seemed to be really overworked. October 18, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by NeverGoingToReturn Not Starwood Quality Its really unfortunate that my stay was so poor. The grounds and staff are not to par with many other Starwood hotels I have stayed at. Firstly, they do not greet you with a lei, which was really disappointing since my fiance had never been to hawaii. It a small gesture that the staff missed an opportunity. Second, when we arrived, the valet asked us to park our car then go check in. They didn't valet my car which takes away from the vacation experience. Next, the check person didn't try to find a nicer room for my new bride and i for our honeymoon. He clearly said his priority was a group that was coming in. I am a gold member and he gave me a room with a view to the parking lot. Next, the pool is a mess, the pictures are deceiving. Its very small, they are teaching scuba in the pool, kids are screaming and no one is helping you find a chair. When you go to the cabana to get towels the first thing they tell you is that you will owe them money if you lose your towels. They never offered to set up a station for you, no customer service. It felt like i was at a public pool. So we tried the beach, guess what - no drinking at the beach. Greeaat! Ok, well lets have lunch at the rest. by the pool. After 20 minutes waiting for the wait staff to come I finally go over to them and ask them if they could take our order. They suggest food that they have never tasted or trained to sell. I bought a pineapple fruit bowl and it was a total waste of money. The fruit looked like it was from a can. Just disgusting. I told the waitress and she shrugged at me like, oh well. Usually a manager would stop by to talk about my experience an any respectable place but they did not. Needless to say the only acceptable thing I could say about this place is the beds. Its a starwood bed so at least you will sleep nice. I will never stay at this place again and recommend you splurge and stay somewhere else. I DO NOT RECOMMEND STAYING HERE! even if you never get out and you have no idea what you are missing out on. This place is a mess. August 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mae18 True Aloha! My husband and I were so excited to finally get here...it's no short trek from the East Coast. We checked in and were welcomed with Aloha. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. The concierge, especially Katie, was amazing. She called me a week before my arrival and took the time to go through everything I had planned and even made some helpful suggestions. The grounds were beautiful and our ocean view room was lovely. We were exhausted the night we arrived and a pizza from the cafe near the lobby was perfect. Reasonable prices, too. Instead of points as my platinum welcome amenity, we chose breakfast each morning and for a very small fee, you can have a full breakfast. This vacation was amazing. Exactly what we needed. We will, without a doubt, be back. We quite enjoyed the luau here. The performers were a lot of fun and I got some great pictures! Mahalo! September 19, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by darb Disappointing last stop for vacation Disappointing facilities. "Deluxe oceanfront" room was neither deluxe nor oceanfront. Street through middle of the complex, smaller pool and crowded lounge chair area, great beach, good food at the dinner restaurant but slow service, average breakfast, surprisingly uncomfortable bed, shampoo/lotion not fully resocked each day, busy sidewalk between hotel/pool and beach, exercise room unavailable due to remodeling, huge distraction and inconvenience of Marathon supported by the hotel with guests seeming to be second priority to hotel promotion and no proactive warning from the staff of the event.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave1947 Truly Hawaiian This hotel is perfectly situated for the truly Hawaiian experience, lovely beach, great rooms, excellent service and sunsets that only Hawaii can offer up. Kauai and this hotel are a must for first time visitors to Hawaii. November 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stinesbaby Happy Wife! Staying at the Sheraton Hotel and Resort in Kauai was one of the best experiences at a hotel we've ever had. We've stayed in 5 star hotels around the world and none compares to the large comfortable room, spectacular views of the ocean, and excellent service that we were given at the Sheraton. I would recommend this hotel to everyone! October 8, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by GOLFERMOM2 IF YOUR USING POINTS, DON'T BOTHER TO COME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE PLATINUM MEMBERS, WE WERE PUT IN THE BACK 40, IN FRONT OF THE GARDEN VIEW FILLED IN HOT TUB. YES A HOT TUB IN HAWAII FILLED IN WITH DIRT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE GOOD OR NEW PART OF THE HOTEL. THE PICTURE OF THE POOL ON THIS HOTEL NEVER LOOKS THIS CLEAN OR PUT TOGETHER. THEY CLOSE DOWN THE POOL DESK AT 5PM AND STOP SERVING FOOD AND DRINKS AT 6:30pm RIGHT BEFORE A SUNSET....STUPID! THEY HAVE A GYM THAT THE EQUIPMENT IS SO OLD, YOU FEEL IT IS GOING TO BREAK AT ANY MOMENT. UNLESS YOU ARE IN A ROOM ON THE OCEAN SIDE, YOUR ROOM SMELLS LIKE MOLD. WE HAVE NEVER EVER HAD SUCH A HORRIBLE HAWAII EXPERIENCE EVER AT A SHERATON. THIS PROPERTY SHOULD BE STRIPED OF THE SHERATON NAME. VERY SAD TO SEE. WE STAYED AT THIS PROPERTY 27 YEARS AGO......IT NEEDS MAJOR HELP. WE ARE REQUESTING OUR POINTS BACK. LET'S SEE HOW STARWOOD TREATS ONE OF THIER SO CALL "LOYAL" MEMBERS! August 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Donut57 Best Anniversary Ever! Our children gave us a trip to Kauai for our 25th wedding anniversary, so we didn't get to pick anything out! We were a little anxious about the hotel, since it was all a surprise and we were trusting our children's selections. From the moment we drove up, to the moment we checked out, it was superb! We had an oceanfront room, which overlooked the ocean and the pool. The staff could not be nicer, always going above and beyond. They even gave us a complimentary room to shower and dress in after we checked out, as our plane didn't leave until late that night. I could not be happier with the Sheraton Kauai! October 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Zoey14 Our ocean front suite was fabulous. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the sunset each night. Spectacular! October 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MuskegoGuy What a paradise to stay at! We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at this property and they treated us so well and made us feel very special! We couldn't have been more pleased with our choice. The staff went above and beyond our expectations and were very attentive. The property itself is gorgeous and very well maintained. It really did feel like paradise for the week we were there. Thanks for the wonderful memories! October 27, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by AdamS Location is great....thats about it The location is perfect. The beach is fantastic. The managers were very nice but were unable to correct any of the issues. Unfortunately that is where the good news ends. The staff is very nice but consistently underdelivers. The restaurant are poorly managed with bad quality and high priced food. Internet service was down most of the week. By mid afternoon they were out of beach/pool towels. This was hands down the worst managed/run starwood property that I've ever visited. This place needs a management overhaul. January 4, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Neveragain Under construction Well seems my experiences are not alone. As with the previous i arrived to find construction, also my best room in the house only steps away from the beach is on the second floor opposite the rocks some 200 yards from the nearest beach, which is inaccessable without walking out and along the main street. When complaining to manager i was told this was what i ordered, despite it clearly stating in the room description. Apparently i made the mistake of not making a special request for the room that i booked. As for the construction, again the manager stated it was clearly labelled on their website. It is interesting that i see a review dated October 26th, 2 days after i booked the hotel that the website did indeed state construction, but apparently until October, hence why i took no notice as my stay was end of December. Now the website states until March 2012. What galls me is that they still make the same claims on the website, even though others have complained about thir misleading descriptions. December 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chasbo318 First Class in Every Way! The resort location (proximity to the ocean) and quality of the room accommodations are unbeatable....with one exception: the resort staff!! We were just thrilled with the clean and spacious living quarters and beautiful patio with several chairs and chaise recliners perfect for viewing the spectacular ocean waves rolling in. As close as one will get to Heaven on earth! Unfortunately our stay was interrupted by a family emergency forcing us to leave paradise early. Lonnie, Sissy, and Elaine were beyond empathetic, kind, and helpful....you have some remarkable people working at The Sheraton Kauai. We will be returning soon to complete our romantic getaway...everything is outstanding here, but the employees put The Sheraton Kauai over the top! October 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Teach2AZ The Sheraton exceeded our expectations! The Sheraton at Poipu Beach exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived until our last moments, we were graciously embraced as part of the Sheraton family. Since one of our family members had medical issues we decided to use the valet service. The valets were great. Danilo made it a point to ask my daughter if she had completed her online homework (she is working on her masters) for the day joking that she couldn't go out unless her work was done. Sheryl at the front desk is an absolute treasure. She took a special interest in our family and we appreciated how special she made us feel. Our room was kept clean and neat - it was a pleasure to return to our "space in paradise" each day. We spent some time at the pool which we loved and met several other guests who we enjoyed talking with. I especially loved watching a snorkeling lesson with both young and old attending. The instructor was so patient with the little ones and adults alike. We also attended the luau and had a great time. I am very glad that we booked our vacation with Sheraton and we will definitely return here on our next trip to Kauai! Mahalo, Sheraton for a job well done. October 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SusieCanada Wonderful place This was our first time visiting Hawaii and we loved the Sheraton Kuaui and would have loved to stay there longer. We stayed there for 4 nights using SPG points. At the beginning we were hoping to be upgraded to a beach view. In the end we could only get a room at the back building facing the pool. In retrospect we were so much happier there!!! It is quiet and beautiful. We can't wait to come back!! The only negative was the food was very expensive. November 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by jammer1966 rooms on 25th anniversary gave a room with a door to other room. so, at 2, 3, 4 in the morning you can hear them. No Bikes to ride. Outside bar closes at 6pm. but, great location. October 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Baldkiggs Could not make it more relaxing We enjoyed the entire stay starting from check-in all the way through check-out. Well, the check-out we did not enjoy so much as it meant we were leaving. You and the staff did a grand job. Thank you, John and Bette Kiggins October 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Celebrating30years Anniversary Trip My husband and I just returned from a 5 night stay on Kauai celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. We visited the Big Island first for 5 nights, then continued on to Kauai. We loved this resort. Very pleasant and attentive staff. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We had a garden view for the first 3 nights, then were offered to upgrade to an ocean front room. It was amazing. Double vanity, huge soaker tub and lanai. The grounds were clean and well kept. The only real negatives I have are that the pools are only open to 8 pm and the outlets are not in convenient places in the room for charging electronics. I've been to some hotels recently that have places to charge things in the lamps on the night stand. We ate at the lava club and the deli. The food was good but pricey which is to be expected, it's Hawaii. We will definitely be back. October 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CalGal Beautiful Kauai This is our third time staying at the Sheraton Kauai and we will be back. We had an ocean front room which was well appointed and had a gorgeous view of the ocean and the pathway. The deck was large enough to enjoy the outdoor space. Staff were all so pleasant and welcoming. Pool and beach area were beautiful and relaxing, although we wished there were a few more umbrellas to provide shade around the pool. Rented beach chairs from activity desk and found a great place under a tree to relax and enjoy the beach and water. Ryan at the concierage desk was especially helpful when we had diffiulties with our airline tickets. Quiet, peaceful and relaxing with plenty of activities within an easy drive. October 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gil19 Great staff My wife and I visit Kauai twice a year and always stay at the Kauai Sheraton. The last three times we have stayed at the Shearton there have been small problems. Thanks to Sissy at the reception desk these have been solved in a matter of minutes. She is proactive in solving problems and is very nice and outgoing. Thank you Sissy! Keep up the good work. January 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by MatthewM Refreshing Service!! We stayed at the Sheraton for our honeymoon and it was all we had expected and more. The staff was always friendly and gracious. They were exceptionally prompt and went out of thier way to make sure we had a wonderful experience! Chris at check-in was very warm and welcoming, he had taken the time to explain all that the resort ooffered and also anticipated our needs. There were too many great associates to mention, but no matter laying at the pool, or eating at Rum Fire (who had an amazing Ahi steak) or using the shuttle service you will experience service that shows they truly care.

Victoria & Albert overwhelms museum SAN
London's Victoria & Albert museum has overwhelmed its original SAN with digitised images of its collection and is moving to a new one with room to grow more than 50 times larger. The V&A has found that by becoming a museum without walls on the Internet, it has found there is a huge demand for on-screen access to its collection …
A title should not be required
Given the target audience of this site, was it really necessary to tell us what SAN stands for??
Good story
Good solid story here. I like it!
Important information
Come on, don't leave us hanging! What's the solution to that jug? Use a straw?
Their SAN might not have been overloaded...
...if there were not so many people looking for hi-res pictures of big jugs.
Meissen = city
I was intrigued by a vulture species I didn't know, and El Reg modeling their logo off it.
But no: Meissen is a city renowned for its porcelain, and it's a south american vulture instead (the King Vulture). =(
Thanks Chris for a well written and interesting article without the swearing, trolling and name-calling that many Reg writers use to elicit comments. It's not often that we stand back and appreciate how far IT has come in the last few years, you article made me do just that.
More like this please!
Jug solution
I expect the handle itself is a straw, so you have to cover N-1 of the spouts with you fingers and suck on the remaining one. Ooo-er missus. [Paris for multiple reasons.]
Puzzle Jug
To drink from the jug without spilling the contents, simply suck from the spout.
If there are multiple holes at the top of the jug, cover them with your fingers whilst sucking...
fnaar, fnaar,,,
Paris - Like to see her try.....
Slave to the rhythm
The place has a quality selection of naked babes, and also naked men wrestling each other, albeit that they are all made of stone - they could open a subscriber-only section of the website with close-up images of the naughtier sculptures, upskirt shots of Queen Victoria etc (she wore very large skirts). Step three, profit!
Thanks for the heads up
Now I can search for their link and check out the collection. Always nice to see what's there when i doubt i will ever see any of it in person. I really do wish every museum would do the same.
Only 1.5TB a year?
1.5TB a year? I know some people whose pr0n collections grow faster than that...
I've bought 1TB this year alone, and before anyone snarks, no it's not for that.
Now if we were talking PB, *that* would be a heavy storage requirement ;)
Using Google street view in online exhibitions...
... Great idea! It's not quite street view, but the Irish national library has done something similar with one of its exhibitions with really great results. Check it out : www.nli.ie/yeats

Pants, short for Pantaloons.
I bought me some new loons today.
Beküldő: HipJThrilla 2009. július 22.
In Northern Michigan, slang for a very attractive young lady. Also slang for jizzing one's pants.
Everytime I see the loons on the Williamston girls' track team, I loon my shorts.
Beküldő: drunkspencer 2012. október 18.
a LOON is to "Laugh Out Of Nose". When people say LOL or to "Laugh Out Loud", most of the time they actually LOON. Think about next time you supposedly LOL, I bet you will actually LOON.
"loon!! i just saw some girl fall down the stairs"
simply respond to a funny text with "loon"
simply respond to a funny text with "loon"

An extinct lagoon creature of the Mesozoic era. Also, a ridiculously good looking person in green plad pants with crazy hair. You decide.
I walked by that cubicle and saw that loon staring at an empty computer screen.

This product is an easy and effective way of getting rid of cuticles. It is a clear blue gel that comes in a bottle with a small tip so that a small amount of product can be delivered specifically to your cuticles. The label says it will remove your cuticles in 15 sec, but I get the best results by putting this on all my cuticles on one hand and pushing back the cuticles with an orange stick, leaving the product on my cuticles for around 1 min. This effectively gets rid of the majority of the excess skin around my nails and is painless, unlike going to the salon and having them scrape and cut them off. I find that it is enough to use this product just once a week or so, and doing this helps me to maintain great, healthy looking and not sore cuticles with minimal effort. The first time you do it may not take all the cuticle off (for those of us that are nail polish beginners and haven't been getting rid of them) , but the results are better and more consistent with maintained care. A great price (~$5-$7 at drugstores) and it's often on sale as well. Also, a little goes a long way so this will last you a very long time. Great product, can't find anything bad to say about it at all!

This is HG for me. My cuticles are bad and I bite them and get hangnails a lot. Now they look almost perfect. I can put the gel on and let it go for as long as I need but I usually try and not let it dry cause it works better as a liquid. I just put it on and push the cuticle back and scrape off the excess skin. It does dry out my nails but as long as I put on lotion or something after it's fine. And my toes! Ew those cuticles are a mess. This just takes it off when i use a stick to push them back. My mani and pedi is soooo much better now. And I think I have less ingrown toenails too haha (tmi). I love this a lot. This isn't THE BEST but it works pretty darn good.

This is a good product that gets the job done. My only issue with it is that if I leave it on longer (30 sec or more), it starts to dry and becomes hard to work with. So I use it a few seconds after putting it on.
Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover is basically a cuticle softening gel. The instructions say that it dissolves dry cuticles in 15 seconds and for callused skin you may leave it on for as much as one minute and then wash off and push back cuticles with a cuticle pusher. I have been using this product for about nine months and have to say that I don't notice much difference between this and straight old soaking in soap and water to soften the cuticles. This product basically does the same thing. However, soaking takes longer and this actually does work quickly. Therefore, I would buy this again.
I had a really bad experience with this product, similar to that reported by some of the other reviewers, the "Instant Cuticle Remover" peels off the top layers of the nails and burns. My nails and cuticles were healthy prior to using this (I never cut my cuticles). I'm going to look into natural alternatives.
I loved this!! My cuticles are always dry and it always makes my nails look like crap! I've tried cuticle scrapers and pushers but no matter what my cuticles always end up looking like a mess. This stuff dissolves your cuticles in 15 seconds, doesn't leave any dry or dead skin and makes your nails look sooo much better.

This is a dirt cheap cuticle remover that does it job. I leave it on about 60 seconds and then push my cuticles back and wipe it off. I follow this up with VitaSurge Cuticle Gel from SH - and then moisturize. I have really noticed a difference since I stopped nipping my cuticles.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is absolutely essential for nice looking nails without going to the salon. Like others, I recommend leaving it on longer than 15 seconds, especially on my horrible cuticles. It works so well! It makes cuticles much softer and therefore easier to push back. It also gets rid of scraggly bits and dead skin. I've used other cuticle removers, but this one is definitely the best.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great product--does its intended job in a short amount of time with little to no effort at all. Small amounts of product come out at a time and there is never any waste. I use such a small amount on all of my fingers that I can't see having to re-purchase this for a very long time.
Price paid was $7.99 CDN at Walmart Canada.

I love this product for my cuticles - I leave it on for just a minute and then use a cuticle pusher to remove the cuticles. They I wash my hands because if you leave it on for too long it will burn. This is wonderful for removing cuticles and softening them. I also use it underneath the nail to remove the dirt/skin/etc under there.


text: Graham Draws Second Primary Challenger Print article Send a Tip by Mike Flynn 3 Aug 2013 post a comment On Saturday, South Carolina businesswoman Nancy Mace officially announced her campaign to challenge Sen. Lindsey Graham in the Republican primary for US Senate next year. Mace is the first female graduate of the state's storied military school, The Citadel. She told supporters she is running because Washington is too big and out of touch. "We cannot change Washington unless we change who we send to Washington," Mace said in a statement. Mace owns a public relations company in Charleston. She is the second challenger to Graham, joining businessman Richard Cash in the campaign against Graham. Sen. Graham, who recently co-authored the Senate's amnesty legislation, has long been a target of conservatives. He is a tenacious campaigner and has amassed over $6 million for the race. At some point, though, spending that much money in a relatively inexpensive market like South Carolina has diminishing returns. In many states, multiple candidates gives an advantage to the incumbent, as they split the anti-incumbent vote. South Carolina, however, uses a run-off system. If no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, the top two voter-getters face off.

GoDaddy Shuts Down the blog of BehindMLM Scammer Oz and silenced its anonymous cowardly owner, who goes by the pseudonym Oz. Oz is rather fitting since those of us in the USA are all too familiar with the Wizard of Oz. When you revealed the idiot behind the curtain he was a little impotent man who was plain and simply a "SMALL" excuse of a man.
Oz of BehindIdiocy / Belindmlm dot com just didn't learn his lesson when he was forced to stand in the closet for 3 days. Oz's website was shut down by Google because he insists upon repeatedly violating copyright laws. We call that copyright infringement in the USA and no corporation such as GoDaddy will tolerate such blatant disregard for the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act
I see that Oz, the boy who quickly left Australia and moved to Taiwan to teach English to youngsters is back at it again. As you probably are aware of, Oz of BehindMLM is allegedly guilty of child sexual perversions. I guess Oz has plenty of time to escape the Australian authorities while he exercise his disgusting bad sexual habits with Taiwanese little boys. I only hope that they catch his sooner than later.
Oz of Behindmlm has moved his server from GoDaddy to Hostgator (I just have to laugh) because GoDaddy found his violations unacceptable. Oz your other blog is still down and on punishment by GoDaddy. You have to move that blog over to your new hostgator host too. Yeah that soapbox blog where you spew venom at anyone who disagrees with your point of view. More of the same … I am just trying to HELP.
Let us be very clear. I can point out so many inaccuracies and sensationalistic venomous gossip that Oz spews out, but I will just focus on his RECENT lies.
First of all Oz of BehindMLM puffed out his chest and wrote that he would counter my DMCA copyright violation claim. Via Oz's childish and immature spoutings in his blog at behindmlm, he stated he would be countering my claim. Obviously he did not. He took down the images and photos in question by order of Godaddy. Either he abide by the LAW or GoDaddy would have ensured the DMCA TAKEDOWN was permanent. …. unless he moved of course. Behindmlm domain registrar is still godaddy but his web site is being hosted with hostgator. Hostgator also treats infractions the same way Godaddy does. So be careful little boy Oz.
Here is just one of THOUSANDS of examples of why Oz of behindidiots … oops … behindmlm credibility is questionable to say the very least ….
Here is just one of thousands of quotes that he continue to just get wrong … He writes "Sloan is also currently facing clawback litigation for her involvement in Zeek Rewards, an $850 million Ponzi scheme shut down in 2012″
Hey little fairy tale boy! Are you listening? Turn around… OVER HERE! I am not and never was a promoter in Zeek Rewards. WRONG AGAIN! STRIKE 42thousand! You have Pie on your face AGAIN. There is NOT any clawback litigation involving Faith Sloan and ZeekRewards. Shucks! You are so clueless in that the clawback list is available to everyone in the world and there is nothing indicating that Faith Sloan is involved in any Zeek Rewards clawback litigation.
One day you and your self-righteous, devil worshipping, no life, blogging friends will start reporting the truth… not the truth turned upside down. I do believe that you guys can provide a well needed service. But not at this time in your lives. You guys need to sit in the closet a bit longer.
On that note, let me tell you about another self-appointed egotistical holier than thou ANONYMOUS (i.e. COWARD) individual on the internet who goes by Patrick Pretty. But from what we have with me about him, he is anything but 'Pretty'.
Patrick Pretty Ugly likes to use that sad blog of his to create lies and ATTEMPT to wreak havoc so he can beg people to give him money. He cannot even afford the upkeep of a simple blog. EVERY year, Patrick Pretty Ugly begs his readers for money. Just how much does it cost anyway to host a low end unpopular blog? lol! DONATIONS? REALLY?
Here is an example from Don Ryan who is a member of the evil cabal of self-righteous bloggers.
Patrick Pretty needs donations !
Posted by ASDUpdates on January 28th, 2012
Our friend Patrick is still having income problems, having lost some income due to an antagonist. I have already sent in what I can and am apparently the only one to send anything in.
I know that times are tough for most of us but the information Patrick supplies is virtually priceless, if only his bills were also. He needs help with the hosting bill, anything you can afford to help will be much appreciated.
And another example of Patrick Pretty Ugly BEGGING to eat. Every month he is begging YOU to pay his bills? Sounds like a blatant scam to me!
What I don't understand is why Patrick Pretty is begging for $550 particularly since his web site is sitting on a cheap shared server with over 100,000 other sites. Patrick PRetty's site isn't as popular as he would like you to believe it to be. Same with Behindmlm. I have REAL traffic reports. Maybe Oz of BehindMLM should be paying for PatrickPretty rent and DSL bills. DSL? DSL? Really?
But I digress.
Here is the domain and website hosting information for patrickpretty website. Little scammer trying to steal money from his visitors.
Be careful about those who purports to champion your best interest. There is much more to this than you know. More coming soon…
Interesting .. I see Patrick Pretty also is embracing GoDaddy according to the nameservers he is using. Shared server and asking for people to pay $550. NEWS FLASH! Shared server for such a small, low traffic site as his costs from $8 to $30 a month. Smells like a scam to me.
The two of you, Oz of BehindMLM / BehindIdiocy and Patrick PrettyUgly of somewhere out in the stratosphere, love to create scenarios which develop from the recesses of their small brains. I do understand where they are coming from. Their ways of communicating and operating is boringly non-creative and typical of anonymous persons on the internet who want to stroke themselves and APPEAR superior and BIGGER than LIFE itself. Remember the Wizard of Oz? You get my drift …
The truth of the matter is that their lives are lonely and miserable. So it is okay. I GET IT! I understand why you guys do what you do. Sad … but I do indeed understand, Oz and Patrick Pretty.
Before signing out to watch the daily news, I want to give you an example of the lies Oz creates out of his gray matter daily. Oz of behindmlm states that Faith Sloan is facing "…zeek rewards clawback litigation…" REALLY? How can that be possible when Faith Sloan was NOT a Zeek Reward Promoter and she is NOT on the list of net winners and she is not in any of the court documents for Zeek Rewards? LOL! See? There Oz of BehindMLM goes again. I believe Patrick Pretty Ugly wrote that on his internet rag as well. Both of you guys must live together. You spend all day stroking each other. I better not take that any further.
Another lie is in a recnt article by Oz the idiot of BehindMLM. He insists that because my team member is making a lot of bonus money that somehow I am making commission from it. Listen up, buddy boy! LEARN HOW TO READ THE COMPENSATION PLAN. NO COMMISSION ON THOSE BONUSES! OOPSIES! STRIKE 52million. You just keep striking out with your lies, innuendoes and idiocy. Keep up the GREAT WORK over there at behindmlm Oz (the boy with strange and illegal proclivities).
Is the Google AdSense income you earn from driving visitors to your sensationalistic rags not good enough? Maybe you should try Burger King. I hear they are hiring… yes even in Taiwan…
Oh I forgot to thank you, Oz of behindmlm. Thank you for following the dictate of GoDaddy and taking down my photos. Lesson learned? Believe me … there are more lessons you will be learning. Call it Continuing Education… the HARD WAY!
Good night boys. I am truly looking forward to communicating AT you. I think I will create a special place for you guys…. Titled … "As the BehinndIdiocy and PatrickUgly World is Revealed" … nahhh… gotta be more creative than that. That was rather staid and boring…

During the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards, Executive Producers Warren Littlefield '74 and Bradley Falchuk '93, L.H.D.'14 were honored for their new mini-series television shows on the FX Network. Littlefield's mini-series "Fargo" won the Emmy for Outstanding Miniseries or Movie. Falchuk received an Emmy nomination for his writing on "American Horror Story Coven," while the show received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing for a Mini-series, Movie or a Dramatic Special. "American Horror Story" was also a nominee in the Outstanding Mini-series category, and cast member Jessica Lange won for best lead actress, and Kathy Bates won best supporting actress.
When speaking to a reporter from WABC-TV in New York following the award ceremony at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday, Littlefield called the evening the best moment of his life. "Not bad for a former NBC exec who was around for that network's 'Must See TV' days," he said.
Under Littlefield's watch as president, NBC won an amazing 168 Emmy awards and numerous other industry honors. He joined NBC as manager of comedy development in 1979. At that time, NBC had no comedies ranked among Nielsen's top 25 shows. Less than two years later, he was promoted to vice president of current comedy programs. As the captain of the network's comedy department, he helped develop award-winning series such as "Cheers," "Family Ties," "The Cosby Show," "The Golden Girls," and cast Will Smith in "Fresh Prince of Bel Air." During those years, NBC enjoyed a history-making, six-year ride as the top-rated network. The Littlefield Company through which he now produces, represents the next chapter in his career.
Littlefield attended the School of Government and Public Administration at American University in Washington, D.C., before earning a degree in psychology from Hobart College. He has remained a dedicated alumnus since graduating from Hobart, returning to offer a Druid Society lecture, and providing current students with insight into the media industry through his participation in the Salisbury Center for Career, Professional and Experiential Education's Los Angeles Experience over the past several years.
In addition to his work as co-creator, executive producer and writer of "American Horror Story," Falchuk is co-creator, writer, executive producer and director of the Fox series "Glee." Since his breakout hit "Nip/Tuck" took television audiences to a new world of drama in 2003, Falchuk has been at the intersection of the nation's popular culture and social conscience. He has received 10 Emmys and four Golden Globes, among many other awards and accolades.
Since 2009, "Glee" has garnered multiple awards for its combination of unabashed exuberance and tender teenage heartbreak. Variety magazine wrote that the show has "...helped to shape a global landscape of tolerance and acceptance among adolescents, giving encouragement to the LGBT community in a way that, arguably, no other TV series has done before."
At Hobart, Falchuk graduated with a bachelor's degree in English. As an alumnus, he supports the Salisbury Center for Career, Professional and Experiential Education's Los Angeles Program, and works with HWS students interested in careers in the entertainment industry, serving as a mentor. He returned to HWS as the 2014 Commencement speaker and was presented an honorary degree.
In the top photo, Executive Producer Warren Littlefield '74 (center) stands with his team from "Fargo," following their Emmy for Outstanding Mini-series. The second photo features Executive Producer Bradley Falchuk '93, L.H.D.'14 during his visit on campus in May 2014.
