Great pack!
By UrsulaGarcia83

About Me Avid Adventurer
This is great if you are looking to get pack that gives you both space and light weight reliability. My ONLY problem with this pack is the lack of a hip belt pocket. But given that I always use REI hiking pants when I go backpacking, those pockets are sufficient enough for me.
Awesome Pack
By vdavis
from Colorado Springs, CO
after being fitted for the wrong size pack first. The manager fitted me for this pack at right size. I just did 65 miles with and it was awesome. Only thing missing is zipper pockets in belt. Other wise it did above and beyond my expectations. Shoulders adjusted as needed, when I was doing a large elevation gain hip belts adjusted easily.
Some definite design flaws
By April 1956
from Placerville, CA
I just traded in my Deuter pack for this pack due to an incorrect fit. I loved the Deuter, but it didn't come in extra small. The Osprey Ariel 65 pack fit like a dream when all loaded up in the store. I could jump up and down and even run down the aisle and it still felt great loaded up with 35lbs! So I bought it. Took it to Desolation Wilderness last weekend for its first outing and I was slightly disappointed. The fit was still great, but over the weekend I recognized some annoying things about this pack. I was carrying 37lbs up alot of granite rocks. The hip belt was "molded" to my hips, but I soon discovered that the padding was insufficient. I had pressure on an area of my hips or back that sent tingling and discomfort down my right leg. I had to constantly hike it up and cinch the belt tighter, which was then uncomfortable on my belly. Also the shoulder straps aren't padded enough and the combo of the pack straps and my bra straps was just uncomfortable. My other pack had way better padding. I have a small frame and need to tighten the chest strap quite a bit. BUT when you're hiking uphill and breathing hard, you want a little movement there! I felt like I was choking! Other packs have an elasticized chest strap, but not this one! What were they thinking?? Also, they advertise the "convenient pole carrier" thingy that is located on the lower portion of the left chest strap. It's an elastic band with a plastic tube on it. When your poles are in use, your arm is going up and down over that plastic thing and it's extremely irritating and uncomfortable! There's no way to take it off other than CUTTING it off, which I did because it was rubbing the inside of my arm raw! I would also appreciate a small hip belt pocket for convenience. I have no place to carry my camera now except in my shorts pocket which is uncomfortable when you're hiking up rocks. I had to get a small camera bag - something else to hang off of me! Now on to the zippers. The top compartment has all these criss-crossing straps holding it in place. They say it's removable to be used as a day pack, but good luck putting it back on the main pack. So I left mine attached. The pack is lightweight, so when the top compartment is loaded, it flops around out of control and pulls the pack off balance when trying to pack or unpack it. It's a royal pain! Say you've got the pack all loaded and want your sunscreen out of the top compartment. The zipper is in back of your head and all the stuff falls out, down your back! Your friend can't even get to that zipper easily to get something out for you. And I'm NOT into taking my pack on and off just to get something I want! I would like the zipper to be more at the top so the items don't fall out. The bottom zipper that leads to the sleeping bag compartment isn't easy to work either. It's curved way too much and makes it difficult to close. So, besides the lack of padding (which should be a priority) and an extremely annoying top lid compartment, this pack fits almost perfectly and is comfortable when hiking on level ground or standing still. Thank goodness for REI's return policy. I'll give it a few more tries though and possibly try to find some additional shoulder and hip pads before bringing it back. I don't think I should have to buy different straps or add-on items or have an additional zipper put in by someone - I already paid enough for this pack and it should be designed better than this! I'd still recommend this pack for its general comfort, but if you have a longer torso than I do (16 inches), then Deuter is really the way to go for comfort and padding and good zippers and pockets and general ease of use.

Give me back my external frame!
By pikeplace1
from Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
I am an "old school" backpacker who has logged in over 1,000 miles in the wilderness. Having resisted switching to the internal frame pack, I finally gave in and bought the Ariel 65. (I consulted with an "expert" at REI to be "fitted" for this pack.) Just returned from a 10 day trip in the high country. This pack was awful! I agree with all of the comments about the poorly padded straps. I have knots on my collarbones from the shoulder straps. One advantage of the external frame pack is that you can adjust the shoulder straps across the width of your shoulders. This pack has no such feature, as the straps originate from one place and there is no way to adjust them. Also, the load bore down on my tailbone, in spite of endless adjustments. I tried several different configurations of packing with minimal result. We finally tweaked the frame to give me some relief. I could see how this pack might work with less weight, but for heartier backpackers who set out with 40 plus pounds of weight for extended trips, this pack does NOT fit the bill.
Great Travel Pack
By worldchanger
from New Braunfels, TX
I bought this pack knowing it would be used many times in the next couple years, it was replacing my Kelty Redcloud 5000, I'm very happy with the transition, found that this pack was much more useful because I could pack more and the bag itself weighed less, the compartments were easier accessible.
A versatile pack
By Laurelai
from central coast california
I use this pack for a 3 to 5 nite packpack trip. The pack is very adjustable and carries lots outside of the sacks. I love the day pack that releases from the pack that also functions as a closure to the main sack. great idea!
Perfect Pack for Me!
By efloughran
from Davis, CA
About Me Getting Started
Love that you can custom mold the belt to your hips!! I couldn't believe what a difference that made. I also love the versatility in that the hood converts to a day pack. Granted I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a fanny pack, but it does make a cute cross-chest shoulder bag.
Awesome pack!
By RachaelR09
from New Jersey
This pack is absolutely awesome. Although it is my first I have owned, I have borrowed and used friends' packs and they never quite reached Osprey's quality. When I bought it at REI, they molded the waist straps to my waist so it was unique to my body, which believe it or not helps! I also love the suspension and quality of the pack itself. It has plenty of room for anything you'd need too. I bought mine before my trip to Scotland and hiked Ben Nevis and 4 days after that. My pack was there every step of the way and didn't let me down. To make your pack even better, I suggest buying an Osprey rain cover and buying a Platypus insert for your pack (it has a pouch for it in the pack and a hole for the tube as well).I highly recommend this product!
By Energizer Bunny the hiker
from Dahlonega, GA
I ordered a cheaper pack from an online store originally. I did the measurements like the site suggested and took it on a 3 day hike. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. My back was killing me, my shoulders were killing me and I couldn't wait to get the pack off. I sold the pack on [@] and went to REI to get a pack fitted to me. The REI rep was awesome - showed me how to fit it and make adjustments. I settled on the Osprey because it was the most comfortable. I took it on a 3 day hike 2 weeks ago and it was a night and day difference to my previous experience. I had 35 - 40 lbs and my hips, shoulders, and back never noticed. I love all the access points and the adjustments. The best pack ever!!!

Oh fuck yeah! Best news of the week - especially considering last week's killer glimpse into season 5
by slayme
woooooo-hooooo! Fringe is such a great show - if you aren't watching it - jump on Netflix - get um from Amazon - find a way to get on board - cause this is gonna be one hell of a ride!
I'm doing a serious happy dance right now!!
I was starting to lose hope! Even a shortened final season will give the writers the chance to give a proper ending to a great show!
the die hards deserve their ending. Now could some cunt at fox please bring back Jack Bauer! I sooo miss Jack sack!

by Rebel Scumb
Perfect number for a proper sendoff.
To quote Neill Cumpston "I just came"
So often we get bad news on this site about our favorite shows. Most of it involves the show ending too soon without closure. It is great news that we finally get to see one of the best shows of recent memory get a proper sendoff. Lets hope they go out with a bang!!!!!! PS. FOX you finally did something right!
which is currently taking up 25% of my DVR. Oh well ... guess the week after sweeps will be a Fringe marathon.

Question I have now is - will Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond/Simon) be joining the cast for part of Season 5?
by slayme
i know he's trapped in amber right now - but so were the others til he freed them. I would LOVE to see him join the cast - even if just on a couple more episodes.
I don't think there are any current plans to bring Simon back. Henry Ian Cusick's a regular on Scandal, currently airing Thursdays on ABC. We'll know in about two weeks whether or not ABC is bringing Scandal back next season.
I hate when they have to come up with a quick end. Now the writers can finish it up the right way
April 26, 2012, 9:03 p.m. CST
Huge surprise! Terrific news! Thanks Fox! (Never thought I'd say that!)
by VanGoghX
This show is sooooo good, but it requires a committed viewing habit. Unfortunately, that makes it extremely difficult to pick up new viewers. I had prepared myself for this to be this last season, since the ratings have been abysmal and Fox is notorious for pulling sci-fi shows that require any thought on the viewers part. I have never been so happy to be proven wrong! Thanks for re-upping this terrific show for one last season Fox!
I'm grateful that they're not gonna just yank it without giving the showrunners a chance to finish it on their own terms. NBC let Chuck finish the way it wanted to, now this, I'm very happy that the networks are rewarding some cult-fan loyalty.
April 26, 2012, 9:10 p.m. CST
Happy, but not happy with the expected yet-another-reworking with the suddenly evil Observers
by mdk
except for that moron wanting Alcatraz renewed. What a way to ruin a good talkback. :)
Whooo Hooo! Now c'mon Community, get your fourth...
$150 for series finale
Just started rewatching from S1 and the evil Observers story works when you consider that September was an Observer dissident and working all along to help Peter stop the invasion. My main concern now is you've got the rest of S4 left with this weird alternate reality and RDJ merging the universes under his control. My hope is that the writing team wrote these remaining episodes with the Observer invasion in mind. What the fuck ever.....we get a proper Fringe finale. Thanks for not fucking us Fox.
I have to wonder what happened to Olivia (given the conversation between Walter and Astrid on the train). I can't imagine a final season of Fringe without the magnificent Anna Torv. Save Olivia to save the world?
And this is probably the only time I ever will. THANK YOU, FOX Network. Now, while you're having a moment of sanity, Will you please cancel O'Reilly and Hannity?
April 26, 2012, 10:25 p.m. CST
@herc - Ah right on - I didn't think Scandal was coming back
by slayme
and now i selfishly for Fringe purposes hope it doesn't. Who doesn't like more Desmond/Simon?!?!
Thanks Fox! Everyone needs to go to the Fox Facebook and thank them so that they do this sort of thing more often. I had a feeling that it would get reviewed. This will be awesome!!!!!!!
OK- give us an awesome wrap-up to a really good series.
such great news my favourite show (Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad right behind) on TV since Lost's departure and about the only network drama I eagerly anticipate I really think 5/6 seasons is the right amount for any show. So happy they get to go out on their own terms.
hopefully 13 eps means 13 high main arc quality story wise God I hope they make a memorable finale No *god did it* or *we're all in a waiting room for the after life* bs cop out endings @buffywrestling Thanks for you well wishes Too often here we use this forum to gloat over others losses
And by far this is it. Thanks Fox. I may soon forgive you for Firefly.
Now please bring back the other shows you canned :) And make us all happy. But I always said there should be one more season of fringe and be it's final one. Hope that the last and final season doesn't suck dick like lost's final season.
April 26, 2012, 11:14 p.m. CST
Surprised to see anyone liked the Simon character
by David_Denmans_Beard
I mean, maybe it's residual charisma Cusick has from his time on Lost, where playing Desmond he actually had some dimension but this last episode, apart from being played by Cusick, the Simon character just bored the ever loving shit out of me. I know some are going to attack my words and go "but it was only one episode" blahblahblah and to that I offer counter with Jared Harris' David Robert Jones. Another similar case where the actor is so good that you kinda expect him to deliver a power punch with a character he's given even if it's only for an episode or an entire season. I got that vibe with Harris, I didn't with Cusick. I'd rather he stay stuck in the amber, all truth told, regardless of whether his other network show fails or not as at least then his character had a lasting impact on the series overall plot.
Ben Linus - LOST? Murdock - The A-Team (80's nostalgia)? Too bad Mulder went douchey or I'd add him.
is all about the final battle between humans and the observers. i also hope walternate becomes evil again
Let's hope that the writers sit down and give us 13 episodes that will be worthy of the 4 seasons that preceded it!
Much as I'm happy about this, I smell some sort of bad product placements being crowbarred in there.
April 27, 2012, 12:15 a.m. CST
Such good news I just spermed out all over my keyboard.
by DickBallsworth
Wait. What talkback is this?
I hope they end season 4 on a killer cliffhanger and regain some of the momentum they had mid-season 2 to mid-season 3. That was some of the best tv that's ever been broadcast. I've enjoyed season 4, and appreciate the continued re-invention of the show. This will definitely be a show I make friends sit and watch from start to finish when I have all five seasons worth of DVDs in my grubby mitts. Oh and hopefully there'll be some real recognition of John Noble's work on the show outside of the fanbase.
GODDAMN! So fucking great.
its been a good week for geeks!
Seriously, TF!!! What a great way to start the day! 13 episodes to bring all the threads, time lines, universes, pasts, presents and futures all together in one big, lovely, satisfying conclusion. You know you can do it, Fringe team. Please make it happen (and don't pull another L**T on us)! I have to say season 4 has been, on the whole, quite disappointing except for a couple of high concept episodes that managed to achieve the greatness of season 2 and 3. Let's hope the final season steps it up a gear; wrapping everything up tightly in 13 all-killer, no-filler episodes of wonderfulness. Yep, this is great news.
Great posts. You see, this show brings out the best in people! :-)
observer world rules
Hell yes! Chalking this up to serious win to start the weekend.

I'd love to know the cost and ratingsa differences between Fringe and Firefly
by FrodoFraggins
Also, I do hope Charlie makes a season 5 come back. Sure, season 1 Charlie was a bit dull but TBH with the obvious exception of Walter ALL season 1 characters were dull. Season 3 alternate-Charlie was great and I was quite disappointed he wasn't a semi-regular in season 4 (in fact, the entire alternate universe was sorely missed this season aside from a few cameos). It was also great to see Nimoy in the amber last episode. If we can see him again before series end, if only as a cartoon, then I'll be happy. There's so much story here to conclude I really do hope they can rise to the challenge. A strong final season is what will propel this show higher than Lost in my own personal affections.
I'm sure I read somewhere, maybe here on AICN, that they've already filmed a series finale, in addition to a season finale, in the event a fifth season wasn't commissioned (much the same way JMS did with B5). Is this true? (And if Olivia is going to die you can guarantee it'll be in that episode.)
I'm wondering how s5 might play out. I would love it if they just brought it all together in a big melting pot so it was set everywhere and in every time and it all fed in to one another, much like the way the Observers view time itself. So one week it's the green universe, another the red, another the amber, another the green 1980s, maybe a red or amber 1980s, the grey future (that Peter visited last season) and then the new occupied future. Just a different universe and/or time each week, jumping back and forth. It would be a linear narrative for the Observers and audience but for the people living in those worlds and times it would seem random and unexpected. We can also revisit past events and deceased characters such as season 1 Charlie and red universe Broyles without compromising anything that follows. We could revisit old episodes from the pov of the Observer, revealing new twists and connections between fringe events - resulting in some kind of "pattern"... So many possibilities. Such a great and inventive show.
13 episode max, or a chance to go up to 22 for a full final season? Not that I'm complaining. Just having it back for a couple of months to tie everything up will be great.

It almost seems like the creator is friend with someone at Fox
by chien_sale

I wouldn't miss it if it was cancelled - but I enjoy it
by FrodoFraggins
My favorite show on TV, great news we get some more episodes and the writers have time to plan the story's conclusion. Bravo FOX!
The finale was filmed with 2 different endings.
It's obvious Fox had this setup to reach its 5th season despite whatever ratings it got. Yes, I do believe the relation to Murdoch has something to do with it. Fox showed their hand early. Remember the move to the Friday Death Slot and, how before that happened, there were promo commercials mocking people saying how it would be canceled because of this move by quoting AICN amongst others. They were basically saying that it would not be canceled because of this move which is pretty fucking pretentious wouldn't you say? There's no way they would have made that commercial if they didn't already know they were going to keep it going no matter "the ratings". That just goes to prove that these "ratings" these shows supposedly get don't mean shit and its all backdoor politics. And that's totally cool for Fringe, but it infuriates me how Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (in my opinion, the greatest series ever canceled) just got axed in the middle of a planned out masterpiece. I will never get over that. The feeling is still as strong as the day it "officially" got canceled (they tore down the sets because they already canceled it months in advance of that date). Or how about when Dark Angel was greenlit for a season 3 and this woman in charge wanted this pet project she had a stake in called Firefly to be greenlit. So they cancel Dark Angel to make room for Firefly, which they royally screw over and cancel pretty quick. Ironic the mirror of a James Cameron-inspired series (Dark Angel / Terminator) was canceled after their second seasons in favor of a Joss Whedon series (Firefly/ Dollhouse). I'm also aware Warner Bros. is likely more to blame for Terminator's cancellation because they didn't want to give the discount for a third season like they did for the back nine episodes of season two which led up to the release of Terminator Salvation (the purpose for giving the discount). It appears to be a similar deal with Fringe because WB owns rights to Fringe. But I'll always remember that Fringe commercial that proves that Fox really knows what its plans are before ratings (the thing that supposedly calls the shots) happens.
WOOOOOOO HHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO! yes, im sad to see it end but at least it will go out with a bang, leaving us wanting for more. Better to be left with good feels rather than the way Heroes went after season 1.
Fringe is alright, its has its peaks and valleys. But seriously they just killed Todd and the Book of Pure Evil!! I dont get it, SYFY UK just got distributing rights, good press and winning awards and they cancel it? Todd consistently offered a funny, low budget jaunt into comedy horror. It had its own place and was different that anything else on TV. SAVE TODD AND THE BOOK OF PURE EVIL! http://www.change.org/petitions/space-channel-bring-back-todd-the-book-of-pure-evil ATTICUS! ATTICUS! ATTICUS!!!!!
I've just come. All over my boss. She's not happy like....
The most interesting TV show at the moment can get a decent finale. Hopefully the makers take full advantage of this...

Well fuck me with Bea Arthur's dick--- GREAT NEWS!!!!!
by Michael Lunney
Y'all think I'm just gonna walk away and not renew Fringe for a final season. Well FUCK YOU! I'll do it anyways you bitches!
The big reveal episode where Peter stands in the big glowy box had a line about September's crew being part of a group of scientists, from which you can infer that there are other competing groups out there. Consider the "takeover" Observers the military branch or something similar.
I know that a lot of folks have "given up" on Fringe, but this is some awesome news for those of us who have stuck with it. I wish it were for a full season, BUT--it's good to know that they will be able to end the series in a way that fits what has been set up for the past 4 years.
Looking forward to watching over summer with falling skies before Breaking Bad starts. Is person of Interest and Once upon a time and Alcatraz worth it? I stopped watching Alcatraz with a few left.
I never got started on this show. Watched maybe 5 episodes, got annoyed with the dad/son relationship, and just sorta stopped watching. But everyone seems really passionate about it... Should I just start binge-watching and crank through 4 seasons, before Breaking Bad comes back? Thoughts?

I think fans should be thanking Fox in whatever manner they feel most appropriate for this AND ALL of the other SF series they had the guts to put on the air 25 other shows in 25 years!:
by Michael Lunney
I wasn't a BIG fan of all of these, some were not so good, but I did try to watch all of them. Did I miss any? Fuck my fellow fans , they gave us: The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. (1993–94) Alien Nation (1989–90) The American Embassy (2002) Dark Angel (2000–02) Dollhouse (2009–10) Encounters (1993) Fastlane (2002–03) Firefly (2002–03) FreakyLinks (2000–01) Harsh Realm (1999–2000) Keen Eddie (2003–04) The Lone Gunmen (2001) M.A.N.T.I.S. (1994) Millennium (1996–99) Night Visions (2001) Sightings (1992–98) Sliders (1995–98) Space: Above and Beyond (1995–96) Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008–09) Terra Nova (2011) Tru Calling (2003–05) The Visitor (1997–98) VR.5 (1995) Werewolf (1987) The X-Files (1993–2002)
why thank a network for bringing so many awesome ideas to TV just to AXE em before they had a chance to bloom? To me, FOX is nothing but a scifi cocktease.
Oh Fox. I have said so many bad things about you in the past, but I take it all back. The continuation of this show is a very good thing, so thank you. If this is just a fluke, then so be it. I will take this fluke and enjoy it. If this is actually a sign of different broadcasting philosophy, then I am just beyond excited for what else you might have in store for me. Again, thank you.
April 27, 2012, 8:29 a.m. CST
some background on this renewal and it's all because of big mouthed supporting fans like US!!!!!!!!!!!
by Michael Lunney
I mean, 88 [episodes] is good, but 100 is better," Wyman told THR in February of his desire to see the series continue. "We would never want to continue unless we felt that we had something incredibly creative to say and to do. We do, and if the powers that be deem it a plausible solution to go forward, then we're thrilled.
Anyone really surprised by this?
Good news, regardless of how it happened.
Last week's episode was fantastic, if they can keep that level of excitement and plot development going they should be able to wrap the show up in style. I just hope they don't fuck the ending up like Lost or The X Files.
Haven't watched any Once Upon a Time but I can tell you about: Alcatraz-seen all of them and couldn't tell you any details on them. Got very boring and repetitive despite my enjoyment of Jorge Garcia and Sam Neill (and interest in Sarah Jones)... Person of Interest-about the closest you'll ever see to a 'Punisher' type character on network TV. The episodes have gotten better as the season has progressed with more and more 'mythology' type of episodes. The weekly 'what number do we save this week' storyline can be a little bit boring like a normal CBS procedural. But, the overall mythology stuff (Finch/Reese's past, the Elias mob boss, the rogue HR police group, Reese's 'fixer' friend, etc.) is pretty involved. And, unlike most other serialized shows, the overall story is moving forward weekly. As long as you keep in mind that it's on CBS and don't expect any big action like a 'Justified' or 'The Shield', you should be pretty happy. But, this is all my opinion and if you don't like, delete it. There is so much excellent stuff to see on TV these days, that it should be easy to find your fix elsewhere. Hope this helps.
The last episode kicked all kinds of ass !
No worries. Our screen names will live on well past season 5 as a memorial to all that was once good with this world.

April 27, 2012, 10:30 a.m. CST
Thank you, Fox, for a real finale and not something cobbled together "just in case."
by Mistahtibbs
Only up to episode 15 this Season but its been a fine one. On the Prometheus talkbacks, people were now talking about and posting stuff on Uncanny Valley, and (to the effect of) Computer Simulation as reality theory... and you do have to wonder just how much those things will have in common with Fringe and Prometheus as it turns out! Especially after that allholyamazefuckjizzballs Imax trailer. Thankyou kindly Mr Fox Sir.
Do you think they'll have peacoats in 2036.
April 27, 2012, 10:36 a.m. CST
Sounds like Fringe will be gong back to 2036 based on that tweet. And good lord an edit feature is needed here
by TheGreatGonk
April 27, 2012, 10:40 a.m. CST
iamhere - agreed- but at least Fox put them on the air- but right- some left way too soon -but all networks do that, but not all of them put on so much quality SF- that's why
by Michael Lunney
there's always one
April 27, 2012, 10:41 a.m. CST
Good news, but will Finder be renewed? That will show if there's shenanigans going on behind the scenes.
by DoctorTom
That will be the interesting thing to see - it has about the same ratings as Fringe. If Finder gets cancelled while Fringe getting another 13 episodes, then we'll know there are other reasons for Fringe being renewed. Of course, we could find out that they renew Finder as long as in season 2 the bar also has a Subway shop in it... I don't mind some Subway product placement, though - I do appreciate that it was Subway that kept Chuck alive for several seasons. If we do get Subway product placement, though, it would be nice if they could play with it a little - have the Subway logo different for the parallel universe or in the future (if we get more 2036).
April 27, 2012, 10:42 a.m. CST
gully_foyle - YES- watch it- I almost gave up early on in season 1 , but it just kept getting better and BETTER!!!!
by Michael Lunney
April 27, 2012, 11:15 a.m. CST
Again I am happy about getting a proper finale, Fox steps up for once
by mdk
But I'm still less-than-enthused about the new storyline. Reminds me too much of that old, syndicated War of the Worlds show with Michael Ironside. "Oh wait, now the Martians are all dead and there's new aliens invading."
Space Above and Beyond Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles Firefly All cancelled way too early. SAAB and Firefly were cited with the same problems, the effects were too expensive. You knew that about SAAB, so why would you green light Firefly and then almost immediately cancel it? You couldn't anticipate the problem? You had to give fans a glimpse of that universe and then spit in our faces? I actually enjoyed the first season of Fringe and stopped watching because I was certain it would be cancelled. I'll go back and catch up on streaming. Congrats to the cast, crew and writers.
You have 13 episodes to give us a spectacular and hopefully happy ending. Don't do a Lost or a BSG (Yes, I hated it) ending on us. I will bash Fox News for it's endless hatred, lies, and all it's shallow minded, bigoted personalities, but I will say Thank you Fox Network for doing the right thing. Someone clearly believes in this show. That's beyond the fact that Murdoch is related to Anna Torv.
COME ON. Eureka has been a completely solid piece of scifi fun, likeable characters, plotlines only limited by imagination. Its a shame to see it go. SAVE EUREKA!!!!
You'd think that a story of this magnitude (not huge but so important to some fans) would get a bit more coverage than just '5th will be final, here's a trailer'. Comon, Hercules. The show was almost cancelled, with an unlikely turn for Fox to revive it based on dedicated fans and strong material. At least say a few words of respect to these great news. What's with the lazy lack of writing?
April 27, 2012, 2:04 p.m. CST
jaynecobb - at least those shows aired, even though, too many were prematurely cancelled- but all networks do the same

deadstar - that's why I posted above this: some background on this renewal and it's all because of big mouthed supporting fans like US!!!!!!!!!!!

It means that every episode will be mythology and no filler monster of the week eps.
April 27, 2012, 4:06 p.m. CST
COPS has higher ratings. COPS! COPS! And they're cancelling COPS!
by JuanSanchez
Not that I care that they're cancelling cops - but keeping Fringe on the air this long when it hits a new low virtually every Friday is just stupid.
April 27, 2012, 4:15 p.m. CST
juansanchez - well, it's clear you are all about the stupid!
by Michael Lunney
April 27, 2012, 4:33 p.m. CST
There's still going to be COPS and America's Most Wanted specials...
by mdk
America never tires of footage of shirtless trailer-dwellers getting busted.
S2, S3, S1, S4, S5! I started with episode 1 of series 2 and enjoyed it very much from then on. After series 3, I wanted to see how everything started and watched series 1. It was very interesting seeing the makers find their feet with a couple of mis-steps on the way. I then continued with series 4 - which has many callbacks to series 1. In fact I showed a friend the pilot double episode after he'd seen series 2 and 3, and he didn't realise it was the pilot until the very end. Regular viewers will know why. Very glad the UK is only five days behind the US, so no spoilers about tonights ep - I'm having to wait until Wednesday to see it. mild spoilers from here on... As regards last week's Casablanca-inspired show (needing 'letters of transit', a proprietor named Rick), I like the hint that Walter may be Walternate - or becoming like him soon. They seem to be setting things up for a break between universes - or at least for transport between them to be much harder - as part of Lincoln's happy ending (he doesn't seem very happy in 'our' universe). Talking of universes, I wonder why the Observers were so hamfisted in creating a place to escape to: if escaping the scoured Earth of 2609, why not create an alternate timeline with no rebellious inhabitants to get in the way?
oh i see now - you typed it 3 times.. now i get it.
April 27, 2012, 9:54 p.m. CST
Hopefully, when the season 4 Fringe dvd set comes...
by BurnedNotice_Dude
out they will include the alternate ending that they already filmed. Would love to see how they were going to finish it. Otherwise, the news of the renewal made my day. Now, the folks at Fringe can actually plan for a ending. No tacked on crud.
April 27, 2012, 9:56 p.m. CST
I hope they give us the 13 episodes pretty close to one another.
by BurnedNotice_Dude
Not this few episodes and wait months for the rest. Hate that crap.
April 27, 2012, 10:12 p.m. CST
Just heard that they renewed it for 36 episodes...
by BurnedNotice_Dude
in the other universe. Lucky bastards.
It has been known it would be canceled before they made the final season, which means they get to finish their story on their terms. A series should not go on forever, it should be able to tell and explore its universe at the satisfaction of the storyteller/creator. For example, of course my favorite series ever, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles had a four season planned story with a possible 5th to explore the aftermath, no more than that. It's a planned outline that Josh Friedman had before they even started to make the series. The goal of all series (from a business standpoint) is to just try to get as many made possible with 100 episodes being the goal or however many it takes to hit syndication. Most just plan to come up with shit as they go along. All series do really, but there are a few that actually have a planned out story over about an average of 5 or 6 seasons. I think that's a reasonable amount of time for any series to tell its story and give it a proper exploration and spread without it becoming a redundant piece of shit like CSI or Law and Order. It should not go on and on. It should have an end, a goal in mind and stick to it. Eureka gets an awesome number of 5 seasons in its series with them knowing flat out that they get that last full season knowing its the end. As a fan, that's all you should hope for and can ask for. You get a full series told the way it should be, unless I'm wrong and there was some kind of planned story for 10 seasons. I highly doubt that. You should be able to tell a full epic story in 5 seasons. As for Terminator, why the fuck could that not get its 4 seasons as one of the very rare series that actually have an epic story in mind with an outline for every season worked out before the series began production? There were seeds planted throughout with a clear growth that would tie everything together in that planned story. It got 2 seasons. And yet, the ending is my favorite series ending to anything. Despite its cancellation, they properly ended it knowing it would most likely be it, with an open door to continue if humanity somehow found intelligence to allow it. But I'm furious and heart broken that we didn't see those two seasons that would have made the first two seasons even more epic and complete by completion of the story. It's also a big letdown that most people don't even care about it or can't see how intelligent and beautiful and rare that series was. I don't think most people are capable of understanding it. It was actually intelligent and people crucified it. I think 4 seasons of anything should be satisfying enough if the creators have no real plan in mind. But if they do have a plan from the beginning, that network should see it through to the end and commit to that. As I explained before, its all backdoor politics and if a network wants it enough, there are ways to profit from it no matter how the ratings are doing (if that's even a legit thing, which I think its not). Apparently Fringe gets abysmal ratings and yet for some "unknown" reason, Fox and Warner Bros. have kept it alive and that "Friday Night Death Slot" commercial above proves it. They knew they weren't going to cancel it, no matter what the ratings were.
April 28, 2012, 12:23 a.m. CST
mcgootoo - I agree to an extent. It's better to have known those series and loved than to not have ever had them at all.
by Xen11
When you think about it, if all those series weren't canceled, we would have never known all the other series that were birthed (then cancelled). They are all connected in that way. If Dark Angel was not canceled, we would have never gotten Firefly. (I can't say I'm happy about that yet, because I have yet to see the complete series of Firefly.) But its also like giving birth to a child, the child showing much promise to be one of the most intelligent beings ever, and then murdering it. It's fucking bullshit. Like I posted above, any series should get just a few seasons to live because that's really all that's needed. You can pretty much add a season or two to every series in that list and that would be a complete, satisfying series. I mean, it can be, and is, a complete series no matter where or how it ends. I think the most important thing is to give the creators/writers an advance notice to end it on their own terms. Giving them one last complete season (like Fringe and Eureka) to complete whatever story its telling. And complete season could be 13 episodes or 10; just a decent number to have a few arcs. But its just wrong how Fox murdered its series. Fuck, they canceled Married With Children without any notice. I remember hearing about the castmembers just finding out about it randomly on the news or from some fan that got the news before them. It was just a complete stunner. Though Married With Children got 11 seasons, more than any series should, but it was the fucking stupid sucker punch illogical blow of spontaneously canceling it without any well planned ending.
April 28, 2012, 9:14 a.m. CST
I was screaming like a lunatic when I read this news on IMDB. I think my roommie thought I was being stabbed.
by neil
My roommie, a diehard Eagles and NFL fan all around, was watching the NFL draft and reacting wholeheartedly at the picks he liked and all. I could hear him cheering and clapping in the living room from my bedroom. My reaction to the 'Fringe' renewal was 10x louder, so much so that he ran to my door, banged on it and asked frantically if I was okay. I can only imagine the change in his facial expression when I screamed "FRINGE is getting a fifth season! YESSS!!!" Hahaha.
That is all.
This will insure that this great series will be complete and will stand tall among the other great series that came before it. I know FOX has made some real boners with this series but keeping it on while it had low numbers and allowing it to finish is the best thing they could have done under the circumstances. This kind of makes up for some of the things you've done in the past. Thank you very much FOX for keeping this series alive!
Not after they screwed us over so many other times by canceling shows before their time. FOX scheduling has the attention span of a 3-year-old with ADHD. That Fringe gets a proper ending is nice, but it also makes it sting a little more that Millennium, Firefly and Sarah Conner didn't.
I love Fringe and have watched every episode from the first season on (and will continue to do so) but it's just getting worse and worse. Rant on: The change in reality this season just made me miss the other reality, where Walter had a spark of vitality in him and wasn't just a crazy old scientist who says funny things (that duality was what made him the best character on TV in the first place... and they TOOK IT AWAY), and before there wasn't this air of contrived relationship drama running through every episode. Seriously, all season with Peter and Olivia it's just been like JUST BANG SO WE CAN GET ON WITH IT! And that future episode was fucking stupid, just a fucking stupid lazy idea they stole from Dollhouse to 'mix it up' this season as they slowly but surely ran out of actual ideas that take place in the shows universe. So now we know exactly what will happen in 30 years... fucking great! Now why should we give a shit what the characters do in the present if we know exactly what will happen to them? You just took the mystery away from a show that is basically ALL MYSTERY. Fuck that whole writers room, and fuck JJ Abrams for consistently letting us down with EVERY SHOW HE'S EVER STARTED. Fucker. :Rant off I just hate to see decent science fiction go to waste like this. It's really a tragedy.
it involves a lot of pelvic thrusts so none of you guys are invited (well except you) yeah baby TONIGHT I PROCREATE (glandular excretions and all) and if I send enough money it won't be one of those *alone* experiences

The holiday season presents the perfect opportunity for employers to unite their staff in celebration, but what's the best way to do that?
When the economy came to a grinding halt a few years back, tight budgets necessitated companies to downsize or altogether cancel lavish holiday parties. Holiday parties have made a comeback, but apparently that turning tide might not be completely welcome.
Entrepreneur Inc. cited a survey by clothing retailer Lands' End Business Outfitters that more than 70 per cent of employees who participated indicated that they "would rather receive a gift than go to an office holiday party." So much for the idea that materialism is on the outs.
Taking that route opens up a rather daunting task to come up with gift ideas for those in your workplace. There are always the traditional ideas, such as tree ornaments, gift baskets or thoughtful items that have a work-related meaning.
Gift cards might seem impersonal, but with retailers providing increasingly creative ways for gift cards to be personalized and delivered, it's a great way to allow recipients to choose something meaningful to them.
In fact, gift cards are the most requested holiday gift for the sixth year in a row. Another recent survey by the National Retail Federation (November 2012) claims more consumers are looking to purchase gift cards this holiday season (81.1 per cent in 2012 compared to 77.3 per cent in 2010), so it appears the practicality and convenience of this idea is welcome.
Before taking on the brain teasing game of what gifts to buy for whom, companies may want to consider gathering employees through charitable efforts to help those around them. The possibilities are endless: volunteer at the food bank, collect money for local organizations or perhaps challenge staff to "pay it forward" with kind gestures.
Pique Newsmagazine has created the SHARE Whistler campaign to highlight the good work community organizations do with funding from the Community Foundation of Whistler. In turn, Pique is giving away prizes in a weekly draw. To qualify for the draws, you need to donate $50 (donations will be matched up to a total of $10,000) or volunteer five hours with one of the charities listed on Community Foundation of Whistler's website www.whistlerfoundation.com. What an ideal way for our business community to engage their employees while at the same time, maximizing their charitable efforts and donations.
On a personal level, why not spend a few minutes during this holiday season reflecting on the causes that mean the most to you, and planning how you will make an impact in 2013? As Helen Keller said, "Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose." What is your worthy purpose?
Happy Holidays!

Who is required to live on campus?
All students who are considered a freshman or sophomore by Barton College standards must live on campus. The exception is if the student is commuting from home (50 mile radius of Barton's campus).
How do I apply to live on campus?
To apply for a space in a residence hall, new students will receive a Housing Application once Barton College has received your deposit. Please complete and return the application to us. We encourage students to apply early for on-campus housing. The earlier you apply, the higher priority you will have to be assigned to your living preferences.
Do I have a residence hall contract?
Your residence hall contract is the application we send you. It is your commitment form to live on campus for the entire academic year or for the remainder of the year if you arrive midway through. The contract includes room and meals. There is a section on the contract that allows you to choose lifestyle options and select your meal plan.
How much does it cost to live in the residence halls?
Room and board rates at Barton are very competitive. We think you'll find the conveniences of living near classes and friends, as well as a meal plan that meets your needs at an affordable price. To see our current room and board costs, please visit the Tuition and Fees page.
Is a housing deposit required?
No housing deposit is required.
When will I get my residence hall contract?
Your Housing Application serves as your contract. All contracts sent to new students will be for double-room accommodations. Contracts/Applications are mailed to students who have paid the admissions deposit. Continuing Barton College students complete their Housing Contract/Application during the spring semester.
Is my housing payment refundable?
Should a student withdraw from Barton College, then a prorated refund may be granted. For questions concerning refunding and payment please contact the Business Office at 252-399-6333.
When will I know where I will live?
The Office of Residence Life will mail your housing assignment, telephone number and roommate information once we have received your Application and have processed it.
How are housing assignments made?
Housing accommodations are assigned according to the date you deposited with the Admissions Office of Barton College and by the date the Office of Residence Life received your Housing Application. Assignments are based on the options you request, information you provide, and on space availability. Keep in mind that we can only use the information you provide us, so it would be a good idea to fill out the Application yourself, paying close attention to what you are requesting.
May I request a particular residence hall?
You will be asked to rank the Residence Halls in order of your preference. Our staff carefully reviews each request you make and then selects the hall that best fits your needs. Space in Residence Halls often fills up quickly and we may need to look at your next request. Don't forget that the next academic year you are welcome to choose the hall or even the room you would like to live in during the following year.
How do I get a roommate, and when will I learn his name?
An information card will be mailed to you once your application has been processed and you have been placed with your roommate. Due to the increased number of students returning to the residence halls and the anticipated size of the freshman class, roommate requests and roommate changes postmarked after June 15 are not likely to be honored. We apologize for any inconvenience our space limitations this may cause you.
What if I don't like my roommate?
Most of the time, roommates become good friends and get along well. However, there are a few instances when roommates aren't compatible. But, don't worry! We want you to be happy in the residence halls. If for some reason you have problems with your roommate, our staff will help you work though the differences.

Who is in charge?
A full-time, live-in Area Director is responsible for two halls. The Area Directors supervise Resident Assistants (RAs) who live on each floor.
How is safety and security on campus?
With safety concerns in mind, we installed card readers at the entrances to all our halls so only residents of each building can access the doors. In addition, all of the halls have an escort policy. All guests need to be escorted by a resident at all times. Members of the housing staff are on duty for students to contact should the need arise. East Campus Suites as well as Hilley, Waters, and Wenger Halls contain cameras that are monitored at the Police Department. Barton College contracts the Wilson Police Department for our campus safety needs. We are enjoying a close relationship as the Wilson Police Department has set-up a District Office on Barton College's Campus. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, there are Wilson Police Officers on campus.
Whom do I contact when I have questions?

Computers: Computer labs are abundant and open almost 24/7 to students and faculty. Our IT staff are great. Each student gets an automatic $8 printing allowance each year. Printers can be hard to find outside computer labs and a bit difficult to use but they are usually good. Prices per page of printing is very reasonable. Network reliability is good. We have undergone many changes this year and have had the email network become unavailable once for 2 days and another network was unavailable for one or two days as well. Our IT staff did a great job remedying the problem as quickly and as best as they could. The network speed is great on some occasions and good on others. Wireless is a joke. It's available but only in a few small areas and when it is, it's slow, difficult, unreliable and more of a pain. Bring an ethernet cord with you to school because there is no wireless internet in the dorm rooms unless you buy your own router/modem and pay a monthly internet fee. I have my own laptop and printer and I highly recommend that you bring your own laptop and a basic printer for when you have a project due the next day or need to print something late at night or when weather is unfavorable. It's a hassle to print anything from my laptop on a campus printer and it's much quicker for me to use my printer in my dorm room, grab my paper and run to class or print notes to study. You can do without if needed, but it's a tech school and you will have online homework that is due once or multiple times every week. It's just easier to have your own computer or laptop. A tablet is manageable for most tasks but homework on them is a pain.
Computers: I have always had a good experience with their computer labs. They have a lot of options to get your school work done
Computers: They have one computer lab (approx. 5 computers) I have only used one time so far considering I have not "officially" started college until 9/9/13. From my experience that one time it seems overall nice, fast, and reliable.
Computers: Tons of computers at OIT. However, they can be slow, but you can usually find one when you need one. There is also WIFI, I don't use it, but it is available.
Computers: They have a computer lab available along with printing on campus and no issues with connection speed.

Batarang throw combat challenge question
So when I am doing the Cmbat challenges, the only way I know how to throw my batarang is press L1 real quick and then R1, however when I see the videos I don't see the users doing that. What is the correct button to press to make this smoother?
Also, I noticed I am only throwing 1 batarang while I have seen others in videos throw 3, how do they quick select to throwing 3. |

Take your sweetheart to hear some live music
Remember to treat your valentine with something special on February 14 - we think that a pair of tickets to a concert is a perfect idea. Claudia Acuña, Joey Calderazzo, Branford Marsalis, and Miguel Zenón all have tour dates coming up, so check out their schedules and see if they will be performing somewhere near your home. Or might we suggest a romantic trip to San Juan, Savannah or New Orleans? Read more »
Jazz artist Branford Marsalis improvises, impresses during concert at Van Singel Fine Arts Center in Byron Center, Michigan
Date: 04.17.2009
Publication: The Grand Rapids Press
Author: Jeff Kaczmarczyk
Nearly anything can happen on a bandstand and, eventually, everything does.
Saxophonist Branford Marsalis had just remarked that rehearsals are overrated for musicians in small combos.
Then, after pianist Joey Calderazzo started "The Last Goodbye" on Thursday evening in the Van Singel Fine Arts Center, Marsalis broke out laughing and stopped the tune after a few bars.
Calderazzo wrote the ballad in three-quarter time, and that's the meter he began playing. But the Branford Marsalis Quartet had recorded it in four, Marsalis explained.
That mattered because drummer Don Edwardswas with the group for the first time, having only heard the recording.
So goes live jazz.
Three years ago, Branford Marsalis was St. Cecilia Music Center's Great Artist. His quartet was back Thursday to play for an audience that filled three-quarters of the 800-seat Van Singel auditorium.
Uptempo tunes and a surprising number of slow ballads were featured, including three tunes from "Metamorphosen," released last month.
Marsalis, Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis and regular drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts have been together for more than a decade, and all contribute original material.
Edwards behind the drum kit was a new factor, but he was steady Eddie for most of the night, just a little too busy on the ballad, "The Blossom of Parting."
Revis offered an extended and savage solo. Calderazzo regularly played comic relief alongside Marsalis as the straight man, and Calderazzo played "In the Crease" with rhythmic, tactile fervor.
Watts, with a new album of his own, was there in spirit. The quartet opened with his bopping "Return of the Jitney Man."
A swinging version of "Monk's Dream" featured Marsalis playing clipped, pithy phrases.
After a steady diet of contemporary tunes, the encore was Fats Waller's "Honeysuckle Rose."
Trumpeter Antoine Drye, from New Orleans by way of New York; and tenor saxophonist Diego Rivera, a former student of Marsalis at Michigan State University, joined the act for the tune.
Marsalis let his hair down a bit, so to speak, whipping out more than a few jazz cliches.
Because anything can happen on the bandstand.

I purchased this carpet for my granddaughter's bedroom. She loves the Zebra print and wanted a zebra print rug. This rug was bright and the quality is good.
this is a gorgous rug and you can't beat the price! i have it in my study were all 3- of my dogs lay and it vacumns up great!
Love this rug. It looks expensive and amazing. well made.
I think they changed the title, it did not say black/ivory when I purchased, it said black/white. Black/ivory is accurate and did not match my daughter's room. Rug was pretty rough to the touch. I sent it back due to not matching.
Apart from the rug being smaller than the description, it was fine. I like the colors.

The Blonde Salad x Steve Madden collection
Posted Feb 26 // Alison Coglianese
Image c/o SteveMadden.com
Blogging has led to some pretty amazing opportunities for me in my own little corner of the Internet, and seeing the success others have had on a much larger scale continues to motivate me on a daily basis. Take, for instance, fashion blogger and international street style star Chiara Ferragni of The Blonde Salad. After several other successful collaborations with brands, she recently teamed up with Steve Madden (one of my faves!) to design her very own line of show-stopping shoes.
Partnerships between major brands and bloggers can often miss the mark, but this one was spot on. I love how the entire collection stays true to both the classic Steve Madden brand while incorporating Chiara's love for bold and daring footwear choices -- which I can totally appreciate.
The collection consists of nine different styles -- some of which come in various colors -- with seventeen in all and is in store now. And just for fun, I've rounded up some of my favorites below. You can shop the entire collection here.

16 Facts Every Single Girl Needs To Know
By Devon Brown
I've worked with a lot of women in their dating journey.I get emails and messages everyday from women who are trying to figure out what they could be doing differently to meet their Mr. Right. There are two repeating trends throughout these emails that bother me. Is This Habit Keeping You Single?
The first is that women tend to list off for me all the things that they find wrong in themselves, as if this is an explanation for why they have not found someone yet. They'll tell me they aren't that pretty, they have ugly smiles or they're overweight This bothers me because I have no doubt all these women are amazingly beautiful, but they are too busy comparing themselves to models, actresses, and singers, who are professionals and airbrushed to look the way they do. The 3 Big Reasons You're Still Single
More from YourTango: Don't Judge A Guy By His Looks
The second thing that bothers me is when women overanalyze everything a guy says or does and then they convince themselves the guy isn't really that interested. Here, women are walking away from guys that may be perfect for them because he waited 72 hours to call instead of 48, or he texted twice instead of calling. Single? 4 Steps to Become His It-Girl
Based on my years of talking to women, I've put together a list of 16 things I truly want all single women to know and believe:
1. Teach people how to treat you.
2. Confidence is always sexy.
More from YourTango: 3 Men You Should Avoid
3. Don't assume you know what men are attracted to.

Breast Health Center - Early Breast Cancer Detection Can Save Your Life
Request your Next Mammogram Appointment Today Online.
Many women experience breast conditions such as breast lumps, breast cysts or painful breasts. Although breast cancer effects over 200,000 women annually, far more women with a breast condition are not diagnosed with cancer. It is always important to consult your health care provider should any breast condition exist.

Mammography Saves Lives
At CPMC we are dedicated to helping our patients live long healthy lives. That's why we encourage our patients to begin annual screening mammography at age 40. Mammograms may reveal cancers when they are small - often before you or your health care provider notice. If cancers are found early, less invasive treatment methods may be used with better overall outcomes.
The following organizations also support annual screening mammography beginning at age 40:
- American Cancer Society
- American College of OB/GYN
- American College of Radiology
- American Society of Breast Disease
- Society of Breast Imaging
We encourage putting you and your health at the top of your priority list. As always, please consult your primary health care providers before making an appointment to ensure the most appropriate test for you.

I have to say that taking a night out in the city, there couldn't be a better thing to do. From the time you arrive and you are smack dab in the middle of the city next to the Ferry Building I was excited. The lights of SF are so incredible, SF has to be the most beautiful city in the world. Those new Bay Bridge lights were being tested and that is another incredible sight. The food was good and exceeded our low expectations. Most people around us were celebrating and having a good time. It's like a little vacation with good food, music and a beautiful view.

The cruise was decent. The food was very good. The crew and servers were very nice. The views were good, but since it's a dinner cruise, it's dark and there really is no view after a certain time. The music was ok. There are two people playing and singing, but they seemed to be having a good time which made it fun. I think paying for non-alcoholic beverages is a little much. The cruise was a wedding present, so it wasn't a big deal to pay a little out of pocket for drinks (and I fully expected to pay for the wine), but I would've been angry had I paid for the cruise and then been asked to pay $3 for two cups of coffee. All in all, a fairly relaxing, good evening.

We had a wonderful time from the moment we boarded until the moment we disenbarked. The crew members were courteous and efficient, the music was great and we enjoyed our meal...not to mention the beautiful views all around us. Thanks for a great experience.
- Gary Schoenbachler - San Francisco, Monday, November 03, 2008
The experience was just average and it was the beautiful views that helped. I did a cruise last Oct. and even since then the food choices and quality has gone down. The live band is dismal with just two people and despite the fact that you have paid a pretty good amount for the evening things like coffee or tea or any beverage is not included. We were dissappointed and would not reccommed it to our friends.

Question: how old do you have to be to take the cruise?
