The New York Herald Tribune was a daily newspaper created in 1924 when the New York Tribune acquired the New York Herald.
Other predecessors, which had earlier merged into the New York Tribune, included the original The New Yorker newsweekly (unrelated to today's magazine of the same name), and the Whig Party's Log Cabin.
The paper was home to such writers as Dorothy Thompson, Red Smith, Richard Watts, Jr. and Walter Kerr and begat the International Herald Tribune and New York magazine.
The New York Herald Tribune ceased publication in August 1966.
The New York Herald and the New York Tribune were established in 1835 and 1841, respectively. The papers were very different: the Herald was a penny press newspaper whose editor, James Gordon Bennett was a firm Democrat and a pioneer in reporting crime. The Tribune, founded by Horace Greeley, was a Whig (and later Republican) newspaper sold as a sober alternative to some of the excesses of the penny press.
The Herald was the largest circulation newspaper in New York City until the 1880s (when Joseph Pulitzer's World overtook it), while the Tribune's weekly publication was circulated throughout the United States.
The Tribune went into decline in the 1870s, after Greeley died. The paper was taken over by Whitelaw Reid, who used it to further his ambitions in the Republican Party; circulation gradually declined under his leadership. The Herald, taken over by James Gordon Bennett, Jr. in 1867, continued to perform well through the century. Bennett had a strong commitment to international news, and financed Henry Stanley's expedition to find David Livingstone. He later founded the Paris Herald as an English-language paper for Europe.
Bennett moved permanently to Paris in 1877 following a scandal in New York: the publisher, arriving drunk at a party in the mansion of his fiancee's parents, reportedly urinated in the fireplace or the piano (the exact location differed in witnesses' memories). The engagement was broken off, and Bennett remained a bachelor into his 70s. Despite the move, Bennett continued to direct New York operations, usually by telegram, and his distance hurt the overall quality of the paper.
20th century and merger[edit]
Whitelaw Reid died in 1912 and was succeeded as publisher by his son, Ogden Mills Reid. The younger Reid devoted more time and resources to his newspaper and gradually started increasing circulation. Bennett died in 1918, and his paper was sold to Frank Munsey, an inveterate collector of publications, who developed a reputation for selling or merging newspapers to the animus of the newspapermen around the country.
Neither the Herald nor the Tribune was doing well in the 1920s, but the Herald, with its larger circulation, was in better shape than the Tribune. A merger was expected, with the widespread belief that the larger paper would absorb the smaller one. It came as a surprise, then, when Reid purchased the Herald from Munsey in 1924: at the Herald, a sign was hung up that said "Jonah just swallowed the whale."
New York Herald Tribune[edit]
The newly merged paper was not profitable, and the Reid family had to subsidize the paper in its first few years of existence. But the Herald Tribune quickly began establishing a reputation as a "newspaperman's newspaper", with literary writing encouraged by city editor Stanley Walker. After losing $650,000 in 1932 (equivalent to approximately $11,235,488 in 2014 dollars[1]), the Herald Tribune turned a marginal profit the following year, and would remain relatively healthy for the next two decades. Unlike other pro-Republican papers, such as Hearst's New York Journal-American or the Chicago Tribune, which held an isolationist and pro-German stance, the Herald-Tribune was more supportive of the British and the French.
After the death of publisher Ogden Mills Reid in 1947, the Herald Tribune, despite some star writers and columnists, went into a decline under his widow, Helen Rogers Reid, and sons, Whitelaw Reid II and Ogden R. Reid (later a congressman). Many of the staff felt there was too much focus on circulation at the expense of the paper's editorial standards, for example the new push for puzzle contests such as Tangle Town, which was given credit for a rise in weekday circulation of 60,000 to bring the total to over 400,000.[2][3] Its Paris edition became the home-town newspaper of Americans in postwar Europe, while nurturing the careers of expatriate journalists like the humorist Art Buchwald.
In 1958, the Reids sold control to John Hay Whitney. Under Whitney, the paper regained some of its lustre, deciding that since it could not compete with The New York Times in sheer volume of news, it would be faster, feistier and funnier. In this period, the Herald Tribune was radically re-designed under editor-in-chief John Denson and executive editor Freeman Fulbright, and new writers like Tom Wolfe were encouraged to contribute. But the key to success was still advertising dollars, and on that count The Times was the leader. A series of strikes throughout the 1960s did not help the paper's balance sheet.
In 1966, Whitney attempted to organize what would have been New York's first joint operating agreement (JOA) with the Hearst-owned New York Journal American and the Scripps-owned New York World-Telegram and Sun; under the proposed agreement, the Herald Tribune would have continued publication as the morning partner, and a merged Journal-American and World-Telegram would have been the afternoon paper. The JOA was to take effect on May 1, 1966, but the unions immediately threw up a strike, and as the months dragged on, a compromise three-way merger was arrived at on August 15.[4]
The result was the short-lived afternoon New York World Journal Tribune. The first weeks' editions were dominated by the input of the Hearst and Scripps papers, but after a time, the "Widget" (as the merged publication was nicknamed) took on the appearance and style of the late-era Herald Tribune. However, the paper was not a success and folded for good on May 5, 1967.[5]
Following the collapse of the World Journal Tribune, The New York Times and the Washington Post became joint owners with Whitney of the Herald Tribune's European edition, the International Herald Tribune, which is still published under full ownership by the Times, which bought out the Post holdings in 2003.[6] In 2013, the Times annoounced it would be renaming it to the International New York Times. New York magazine is also a descendant of the Herald Tribune, having originally been the Herald Tribune's Sunday magazine, a livelier version of The New York Times Magazine. Following the death of the World Journal Tribune, New York editor Clay Felker organized a group of investors who bought the name and rights, and successfully revived the weekly in 1968.
In Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless (1960), the student and aspiring journalist Patricia (Jean Seberg) sells the New York Herald Tribune along the Champs-Élysées. It is also the major focus of the 1952 thriller Assignment Paris, with Dana Andrews as an aggressive New York reporter sent to the Paris newsroom and then Budapest. In the popular Danny Thomas Show on CBS from 1957 to 1964, the main character, Danny Williams (Thomas), a New York nightclub comedian, can be clearly seen in several episodes reading the New York Herald Tribune.

In the 1920s, the New York Herald Tribune established one of the first book review sections that reviewed children's books, and in 1937, the newspaper established the Children's Spring Book Festival Award for the best children's book of the previous year, awarded for three target ages groups: 4–8, 8–12, and 12–16.[7] This was the second nationwide children's book award, after the Newbery Medal, and vied with the Newbery for most prestigious for many years.[7]
The "Dingbat"[edit]
For more than a century, the logo of the New York Herald-Tribune, and its later successor, the International Herald Tribune, featured a hand-drawn "dingbat" between the words Herald and Tribune, which first originated as part of the frontpage logotype of the Tribune on April 10, 1866. The drawing included a clock in the center, set to 6:12 pm, and two figures on either side of it, a toga-clad thinker facing leftward and a young child holding an American flag marching rightward. An eagle spreading its wings was perched atop the clock. The dingbat served as an allegorical device to depict antiquity on the left and the progressive American spirit on the right. The significance of the clock's time remains a mystery.[8]

Dwight David Howard Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia on December 8, 1985. A high school standout at Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy, Dwight Howard elected to forgo college and declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft, where he was selected first overall by the Orlando Magic. He became an instant driver of the franchise's success, winning several awards for scoring, rebounding and defensive play. After seven seasons as a star in Orlando, in 2012, Howard was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Early Life
Born in Atlanta, Georgia on December 8, 1985, Dwight David Howard Jr., was a sports lover at an early age. His father, Dwight Howard Sr., is an athletic director, and his mother, Sheryl, played on the inaugural women's basketball team at Atlanta's Morris Brown College. Devoutly religious as a child, Howard dreamed of becoming a No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft.
Howard attended high school at the Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy, a school known nationwide for its basketball power. During his senior year, Howard led his team to win the 2004 state championship, which they had lost the previous year. Several awards raised national awareness of his status as a high school standout, including the 2004 Naismith Award, and the Gatorade National Player of the Year and McDonald's National High School Player of the Year awards. Additionally, he was named to Parade magazine's "All-American Team" list.
Like his idol, Kevin Garnett, after whom he modeled his shooting and ball-handling skills, Howard chose to forgo a college education, and declared himself eligible for the 2004 NBA Draft.
NBA Career
At age 18, Howard was selected first overall by the Orlando Magic in the NBA Draft, realizing a childhood dream. While young in age, his size and skills on the court made an immediate impact on Orlando's goals. During his first year in the league, he became a leading rebounder, scored more than 20 points in 11 games, and became the first player in NBA history to start in all 82 games as a rookie fresh out of high school.
By his third pro season, Howard would make his first NBA All-Star appearance as a reserve on the 2007 Eastern Conference squad. He went on to become a six-time NBA All-Star, six-time All-NBA Team selection, five-time All-Defensive Team member and three-time Defensive Player of the Year—the youngest player ever to win that honor—while playing for the Magic. The gifted player led Orlando to three division titles and one conference title.
In 2008, Howard was an integral part of the gold medal-winning Olympic basketball team at the Olympic Summer Games in Beijing. In 2012, after seven seasons as a star with the Orlando Magic, Howard was traded to the top-tier Los Angeles Lakers.

US and Iran, Face-to-Face for the First Time in 30 Years ()
A historic meeting will open tomorrow in Geneva, Switzerland, when the permanent members of the UN Security Council – the US, France, Britain, China and Russia -- plus Germany, sit down for talks with Iran about its nuclear program. The meeting marks the first time the United States and Iran have engaged in direct negotiations in thirty years. But Iran has said it wants to discuss trade, not nuclear power. With recent revelations about a second Iranian nuclear facility, and missile test firings in recent days, what signals is Iran sending? Will the US push for tougher sanctions against the regime? What can diplomatic efforts yield if Iran refuses to make concessions? Is a military strike by Israel a possibility?

And Then What?
After the bottom it then begins to work back. The time table may or may not be to our liking but the bottom is the bottom and after the bottom prices go up. Regardless of when a bottom comes or how long it takes to make back a meaningful portion of what you are down, the above description is how it will work. Again, the variables are when and how long.
Of course when and how long are beyond anyone's control so instead of worrying about what we cannot control, we should worry about what we can control (at least partially) like not panicking, staying disciplined and recognizing when others are freaking out.
In the last couple of months, not surprisingly, I have had more contact with clients than normal. There is a balancing act here with realizing how numbers and markets work and being appropriately sensitive to client concern.
As for the numbers and markets and tying in with the reader comment about baby boomers; it's a good bet that a healthy baby boomer will live to see a new high in the market, by a wide margin probably. The market had a decade long round trip to nowhere that ended in 1946. In October 1946 the Dow was at 186, ten years later it was at 479. After a famous decade long round trip ending in 1982 the Dow went from 991 in October of that year to 3226 in October 1992.
Think this time is worse? Ok, say that it is and it only doubles over the next ten years (much worse result than the other times), a healthy baby boomer will very likely live to see new highs. Think this will turn into 20 years of a round trip to nowhere? Ok fine but that final result would not come in a straight line. There would be plenty of 20% ups to be in on and 20% downs to avoid or short.
If things turn out to be truly different ok, figure out how to adapt and then stick to it.

"Growing numbers of preretirees dip into 401(k)s, skip bills and medications"
And, the government along with the candidates wants to make it easier and easier to get at that 401K money earlier and some even have proposed a debit card! - 5:48 AM

I am in the position of having to reconstruct my portfolio in the next week because I will be on extended travel for 6 months and unable/unwilling to check on it regularly. Currently I'm about 5% equities and would like to get back to 50% soon (obviously not in a week).
I am thinking that it is crazy not to be buying stocks at these levels. But it looks like both S&P sub-700 and a monster rally may be ahead of us, and that said rally (s) may occur before S&P sub-700, which might not even happen until late 2009. So it seems that unless I am willing to trade, I may be wasting my time being in the stock market for the next year. I am not a trader and feel disadvantaged in this market. How do you buy on momentum with 5% intraday swings? Would a good approach be trying to average in on daily lows (which seem to be now always in the last few minutes of trading)?
I have spent time in the past few weeks building a list of long term holdings I want to buy (all ETFs). Am I wasting my time, and should I instead just focus on broad market index ETFs as a way to play rallies until the market becomes investable again? Would it be appropriate in this blog to ask what kind of strategies people are planning to use if the market stays uninvestable as it is now?

Dear Roger and all commentors,
I too have been hearing about this
monster rally and the need(I guess
that is my term)to start buying stocks. However, this is my op
inion only that after a big run
up there is a retest or at least
something close, to the old low.
I refer to the 2002-03 low as there
were three tests before prices
went above the 200 day m/a and
marched merrily along. I am holding
off any further purchases, however
if this sucker tanks to 6-7000 I
will average down(no I think this
is a good thing to do) on all
positions and initiate spy position.
Speaking from experience, I was
100% long in 1974, 1987, and 2002
and I fully recouped. However,
in this psychotic program I decided
"not to be broke" at the bottom
and therefore can take advantage of
these prices.
I think some of these prices are
not only forced selling blah blah
but reflect depression prints.
This is my opinion only, invest as
you see fit, its your dough.

It's true this is not the 1929 depression, it's the 2008 depression. Different but could there be similar consequences? We'll we could drop 95% like 1929. I suspect the response would be, not likely. Who says?

Did you see this from the peoples' friends in congress?
"Powerful House Democrats are eyeing proposals to overhaul the nation's $3 trillion 401(k) system, including the elimination of most of the $80 billion in annual tax breaks that 401(k) investors receive."

Argentina just nationalized retirement accounts. I guess our politicians are trying to make this country more like Argentina. I woould not surprise me that the greedy hands in Washington are eyeing the money of the "rich" folks who have saved instead of following Washington's lead and spend, spend, spend, all borrowed money. (sigh)

RE the speculation that Democrats may attempt to tax 401K contributions. One of the infrequently mentioned consequences of the current tax deferred nature of 401K's is that, potentially, capital gains end up being taxed the ordinary income rate when withdrawn from the 401K (this assumes one has capital gains!). Presumably, eliminating the tax deferment would eliminate the possible tax on cap gains at ordinary income rates. The Democrats will probably not like that, and it will likely prevent them from implementing the reform.

Book Recommendations – Dallas Crilley Kidrepreneur
You have looked for other methods of making money, if you're anything like me; Self-Moved, divine, motivated, steadfast and cash-driven. Possibly even thought about taking on a part-time occupation or even have paid to join "clubs" that "guarantee" you make such sum of money. Realizing regular quantities money sometimes happens . however, it is not the plan that will "ensure" it, it is the effort that you put into it. How frequently can you settle back and believe, "Is there any other potential approach to earn more income?" I'm sure you ask this question often, should you work a Full Time Occupation, working Monday through Friday. It Is difficult not to think of ways of making money while at work, when looking at your pay check week after week, when not feeling good but needing to hold your job to make ends meet. Until Retirement, others on the other hand aren't comfortable being settled in a place some folks are very content working a job for the remainder of the life, years and years have gone by. 10 Years at an Employment may come and go in a blink of an eye, shortly you understand, "wow, where in the world have 10 years gone?"
It's crucial to see that everybody can reach it, although, not everybody may have an "Entrepreneur" Mindset. Some who get involved with On-Line/Internet Marketing understand nothing about it (some do not even really know the way to create a simple e-mail account) but months after or even greater (years after) they've become ACES understanding the endings and outs of all things On-Line Marketeering consist of. Learning the complete name of the sport is not the complicated component. Learning the ropes is what's going to pay you away!
As with all matters, beginning little is everyone's first steps. "Thinking big beginning modest" – is the Slogan for everybody striving to confront challenges while being an Entrepreneur or taking on different things. Notwithstanding, when beginning to rely on Internet/Online Marketing to create income it's hardly possible to understand all of the ropes. The great thing is, time not merely treats all but with time, it is by default option, and you also just get better and better. Thus, begin little! Do Not' be scared. Get your feet wet. Study the magic trick as well as the trades and while you are learning, create funds. It could be modest payout but trust they come in steady!

Denver Day Trips. Of all the great things Denver has to offer, the greatest may be its ability to serve as a base camp for incredible one-day excursions. Denver offers quick, easy access to the state's biggest attraction, the Rocky Mountains, where a wealth of national and state parks, national forests and scenic areas fill your senses. Gold rush mountain towns and ski resorts are great places to spend a day shopping, exploring and taking in the amazing scenery. From Denver, your next great adventure is just around the bend or right over the next ridge. And remember, when you're out in the city, stop in at one of the city's conveniently located Visitor Information Centers for more day trip tips. For more great trip ideas, check out Denver itineraries.
Rocky Mountain National Park
Located 71 miles (114 km) northwest of Denver, Rocky Mountain National Park features 400 square miles (1,036 sq km) of scenic beauty, including Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous highway in the world crossing the Continental Divide at over two miles above sea level. The park has two information centers, hundreds of miles of hiking trails, tranquil lakes, waterfalls, wildlife and horseback riding. Estes Park is a resort town on the edge of the park with restaurants and shops. Get an in-depth look at Rocky Mountain National Park!
Central City and Black Hawk
Once called the "Richest Square Mile on Earth", Central City and Black Hawk are two historic mining towns from the 1870's that have come alive. Located 34 miles (55km) west of Denver, the two towns offer more than 30 casinos with over 10,000 slot machines, blackjack tables and poker games. In 2009, the stakes in Black Hawk were raised – betting limits are now $100, craps and roulette tables have been added and casinos will be open around the clock. In other words, a fun mountain town just got a lot more fun. The two cities are also known for having some of the best-preserved Victorian architecture in the West. Other attractions include the Teller House Hotel where President Grant once stayed and the Central City Opera House, which still features an outstanding summer season of opera. There are mine tours, mining museums and several places offering instruction in the fine art of gold panning in streams where a half billion dollars of the coveted, shiny metal was found.
Located just 42 miles (68 km) west of Denver, Georgetown is a delightful Victorian village set in a spectacular mountain valley with 200 restored buildings from the 1870's. The main street has shops and restaurants and many of the old homes have been turned into antique stores. The Georgetown Loop Railroad operates in the summer months with narrow gauge steam locomotives curling down a mountain ledge, at one point crossing over a 90-foot (27 m) high trestle.
Fort Collins
Situated at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Fort Collins offers fabulous recreational opportunities, diverse cultural attractions, a vibrant nightlife scene, and plenty of family friendly activities. Just 65 miles north of Denver (about an hour and 15 minutes drive) on I-25, the town is home to Colorado State University. Explore the city's 50 parks, 280 miles of trails, including paved and unpaved walking and bike trails, or go for a whitewater adventure on the Cache la Poudre, a river runner's paradise from May through September. Downtown Fort Collins features a wide array of cuisine and nightlife options, not to mention some great shopping. And of course, no visit to the city would be complete without a trip to the world famous New Belgium Brewery, a must-see for craft beer aficionados.
Mount Evans
Mount Evans has the highest paved auto road in North America snaking its way to the 14,260-foot (4,346 m) summit. The road ($10 for a three-day pass) is open only from the Friday before Memorial Day through the first Monday in October, and frequently has snow on it, even in August. (The road closes at Summit Lake after Labor Day, preventing you from reaching the top). The view from the top takes in the entire Front Range. The summit is 60 miles (97 km) from downtown Denver. On your way up the mountain, be sure to stop at M. Walter Pesman Trail (maintained by Denver Botanic Gardens) for a wildflower hike; you won't see anything like the rare flowers and 1,500-year-old bristlecone pine trees anywhere else in the world. The trail winds through subalpine and alpine areas where wildflowers and animals of the fragile tundra live. Volunteer guides from Denver Botanic Gardens give interpreted hikes that follow the trail throughout the summer (call 720-865-3539 for information). Get an in-depth look at Mount Evans Scenic Byway!
Pikes Peak Country and Colorado Springs
Pikes Peak Country is located 60 miles (97 km) south of Denver and features more than 40 attractions centered around 14,000-foot (4,267 m) high Pikes Peak and the city of Colorado Springs. Things to see include the Air Force Academy, one of three United States military colleges; the famous Broadmoor Resort with its lake and three golf courses; the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame with its exhibits on this exciting professional sport; and Garden of the Gods which has gigantic 500-foot (152 m) high red sandstone rock monuments at the base of Pikes Peak.
Denver's Beer Triangle
You're not going to disappear in the Denver Beer Triangle, but it is easy to get lost in the fine, handcrafted beers, ales, stouts and porters found along the way. Located at the base of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, the area between Denver, Boulder and Fort Collins is often called the "Napa Valley of Beer." Here you'll find Coors Brewery, the largest single brewery in the world, as well as some six-dozen other award-winning brewpubs and microbreweries. Check out the full tour!
Located at the base of the foothills, Golden was the territorial capital until 1867 and remains one of the most historical towns in the state, with six museums, including Buffalo Bill Museum & Grave, the Colorado Railroad Museum, American Mountaineering Museum, and the Golden History Museums. An arch spanning the street proudly proclaims that Golden is "Where the West Lives!" The rugged setting makes it an amazing destination for outdoor recreation like biking, hiking, and kayaking. Downtown offers an Old West feel with arcade-covered sidewalks providing entry to more than 30 shops and art galleries. There are 22 restaurants and bars with outdoor cafes, providing a great vantage point to watch kayakers float by on Clear Creek. And no trip to Golden would be complete without a tour of the Coors Brewery, the largest single brewing site in the world. A short drive from Golden is Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, an awesome, awe-inspiring concert venue that has hosted well-known performers including the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, R.E.M., and U2.

KIAA, PKU, June 14-15 2010
Monday, June 14, 2010
Background | Committee | Program Photos
Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Peking University (KIAA-PKU)
Hosted by PKU-UCLA JRI, jointly sponsored by National Science Foundation and National Natural Science Foundation of China
Under NSF sponsorship, a delegation of leaders of major U.S. computer science (CS) academic institutions (mostly deans and department chairs) visited China from May 20 to June 3, 2006. The goals of the trip were to establish a dialogue between leaders of major U.S. and Chinese computer science departments, to enable the U.S. leaders to gain insight into current and future trends in information technology research in China, and lay the groundwork for potential future interactions. The delegation helped to organize and participated in the first U.S.-China Computer Science Leadership Summit, which was held on May 23, 2006 at Beihang University in Beijing. The Summit involved U.S. and Chinese colleagues in discussions of issues of common interest. The issues discussed included state of the art in education and research, Ph.D. training, CS faculty selection and retaining, evaluation of CS research and its impact, and the role of funding agencies and research centers. Before and after the Summit, the delegation visited Chinese universities and research laboratories. This visit successfully achieved our goal of "insightful understanding" of China's higher education and research in computer science and information technology, which is important to the leaders in U.S. universities and research institutions.
At the first Summit, U.S. and Chinese participants reached a consensus to repeat the event in the U.S. In its report to NSF, the U.S. delegation recommended that NSF should hold a follow-up Leadership Summit in the U.S. and then a subsequent follow-up activity in China, encourage the creation of a joint U.S./China steering committee to develop ideas for future collaborations, and encourage China to put together a delegation similar to ours that would visit U.S. universities. The second Summit was an outcome of that recommendation. We organized campus visits for the Chinese delegation to leading U.S. Computer Science Departments, including both public and private, large and small universities. The culmination of the program was a visit to and dialogue with leaders of NSF on July 10, 2008 and the Second U.S.-China CS Leadership Summit on July 11.
As a result of the success of previous Summits, with the goals of building on ideas generated at the second Summit and in discussions afterwards, a third Summit is therefore planned for China to hold in June 2010 with the following three main themes: Large Collaborative Research Projects, Computer Science in Service to Society and Multidisciplinary Computer Science Education.

A collage of dark woods, gilded statues, and vibrant textiles greets the eye at Rouen Thai, perfumed by a spiced aroma that floats out from the kitchen. As patrons settle into high-backed booths or around sunken tables with traditional floor-cushion seating, they can prime their palates with sips of thai sweet iced tea with a touch of cream. The menu includes familiar noodle dishes such as pad see ew as well as frog legs, squid, and sea scallops in numerous sauces. Racks of lamb, grilled and topped with basil leaves, form a counterpoint to the vegetarian menu's siam tofu with thai chili sauce. The chefs also serve a substantial list of macrobiotic dishes, many of which come with sautéed shrimp, a mélange of veggies, and rice that's naturally tan.
A samurai uniform stands proudly behind glass, welcoming patrons into Joto Japanese Restaurant. The suit's gleaming black mask reflects a sushi bar with a cerulean awning and seats the deep red of raw bluefin tuna. There, the hands of chefs flutter over such eclectic ingredients as pineapple, baked crab, and smelt, twisting them into rolls with names such as Fly to Hawaii, What Saapp, and Screaming Tuna. The wind tousles the leaves of potted plants on a small outdoor patio, where toasting glasses unleash the soft clinks of a xylophonist's ghost.
Bangkok Jazz Thai Restaurant is all about unexpected pairings. Thai statues stand alongside saxophones and photos of jazz legends hanging from the walls. In the dining room, a small raised stage creates an intimate performance space in the midst of a casual dining environment, with free live jazz performances on Fridays after 6:30 p.m. And amid the quintessentially American music comes a parade of traditional Thai cuisine. Outdoor seating is available, and the restaurant is located is down the street from the University of South Florida.
Like an aromatic dance, servers nimbly carry plates piled with five kinds of curry, pad thai, and signature dishes such as Jazz Sextet: a bed of pineapple and sauteed veggies in special sweet and sour sauce. Nearby, bartenders pour wine, beer, and sake to complement the food, which the kitchen can prep at four levels of spiciness. But meals often end on a chilly note, and another memorable combination. Bangkok Jazz Thai Restaurant ice cream teams a fried banana with a generous mound of coconut ice cream, sourced from the frozen palm trees that grow in Antarctica.
Tokyo Bay Mang Sushi and Japanese Steakhouse spans a spectrum of cooking ideologies, simultaneously folding fresh, raw fish into sushi rolls, searing hibachi items in a scorching blaze, and rounding out the menu with pan-Asian entrees and Thai dishes. Chefs fire up three front-and-center teppanyaki tables, where flaming plumes obscure steak, shrimp, and scallops. The King lobster sushi roll sports dual tempura and fried lobster tails swept up in the flavors of faux crab, asparagus, avocado, and eel sauce. Basil sprinkles thai curries and piping-hot seafood, served behind a façade that mimics the tiered roofs in Thailand that protect possessions from pad thai monsoons.
At Thai Sweet Basil, chefs shun frozen produce and MSG, instead championing fresh, all-natural ingredients for their menu of traditional Thai cuisine. They simmer five varieties of curries, serving them with fragrant mounds of jasmine rice, and fry up classic noodle dishes, such as pad thai and sweet-basil fried rice. They also plate delicacies such as soft-shell crab with green curry and snapper marinated in tamarind. All the recipes and cooking techniques that they use were developed over the centuries in the Thai royal palace. Servers weave between sunny walls and maroon booths bordering a dining room speckled with emerald fronds, exotic artwork, and linens as white and untarnished as a snowman's criminal record.
A combination of savory, sweet, and spicy aromas greets diners when they enter The Queen and I Restaurant, serving as an aromatic prelude to the menu's extensive selection of fragrantly seasoned cuisine. The cooks can stir-fry chicken, pork, or scallops and moonlight-ripened vegetables in a number of sauces, imbuing their entrees with flavors of ginger, basil, or fiery chili paste.
Featuring taupe-hued walls and white tablecloths, the dining room has walls with framed artwork and a painted mural of Thai statues that lend a more authentic trans-Pacific feel than a flipbook made entirely of travel brochures.

We booked a suite (two cabins knocked into one) and paid considerably more than for A or B grade cabins. Apart from the space, there were no privileges whatsoever. Internet access, in suite drinks, laundry were all 'extras'. There was a single rose on the coffee table (which looked as though it had been round the Med on previous cruises). It wilted and, hopefully, would have to be replaced for the next cruise. There was a bowl of not very fresh fruit - this was withdrawn after two days.
We mainly used Degrees for dinner. The food was always perfectly presented but sometimes lacked flavor. Escargo Provinciale was served with no garlic. This was immediately rectified and we thoroughly enjoyed our snails thereafter. One old rose decorated our table for the 10 days.
Candles (on the aft deck) was brilliant. The food simple and well cooked. The setting was perfect.
The highlight of the cruise was the staff. They were brilliant and the last two nights aboard - Crew Show and Deck BBQ were great fun.
Embarkation was quick and simple. No problems.
The pre-cruise hype talked of small ships visiting small ports, etc. Our first stop was Le Harve - the second biggest commercial port in France. We have visited Le Harve many times. It's a huge commercial and ferry port. I think that we were the only cruise ship there. We berthed a considerable distance from the town. No shuttle bus was provided. Honfleur is nearby and other possibilities would have been Corunna and/or Brest. The Channel Islands would also have been an alternative.
Our next stop was Britain's busiest ferry port - Dover. Luckily, the local council provided a courtesy bus.
The stops in Antwerp and Amsterdam were excellent and it was quite moving when we left Antwerp. It seemed the whole city had turned out to see us off.
The vessel made a tremendous impression where ever we went and the sight of the sails leaves a special memory. Rachael Roberts (Soprano) gave two excellent performances. Apart from the two groups playing in The Lounge and The Compass Rose, the only other activity was a trivia quiz which took place in The Compass Rose whilst we were having afternoon tea.
We really looked forward to this cruise. We very much liked the vessel itself which soon will complete it's 'refurb'. The staff were outstanding.
If Windstar are aiming for 'high-end' patrons, it may be that they will need to concentrate on the detail - ports, obvious money saving touches (fruit, flowers, etc), shuttle buses, etc.
Would we do it again? Probably not and certainly not in a suite.

24 Skulls of the Shogun updated - we examine the improved Windows Phone visuals GamesWindows Phone News By Paul Acevedo, Tuesday, Apr 23, 2013 at 2:00 pm Skulls of the Shogun will forever be known to Windows Phone enthusiasts as the game that broke the Xbox release drought we went through earlier this year. It also happened to be a fantastic game, despite a few rough edges here and there. When we met up with one of the game's developers a few weeks ago, he promised that updates would soon be coming to all three versions of the game: Windows Phone, XBLA, and Windows 7. At last those updates are upon us!

31 Skulls of the Shogun Interview: Windows Phone outsells XBLA and Windows 8 GamesInterviewsWindows 8 Apps+GamesWindows Phone News By Paul Acevedo, Friday, Apr 5, 2013 at 1:29 pm Skulls of the Shogun has been an incredibly important game for Windows Phone and the Microsoft ecosystem as a whole. It's the first Xbox Live game to cross platforms between the Xbox 360, Windows Phone, and Windows 8. It was also the Xbox Windows Phone game that ended the game drought we faced earlier this year. After so many weeks without a new game, Skulls quenched many a Windows Phone gamer's thirst. We had the opportunity to speak with Skulls of the Shogun developer 17-BIT twice last year, first at E3 and later Casual Connect. Of course, that was all before the game launched. Now that Skulls of the Shogun is live and in players' hands, Windows Phone Central jumped at the opportunity to ask 17-BIT's lead programmer Borut Pfeifer about how the game performed and what players can expect in the future.

68 Skulls of the Shogun Review: Getting ahead in the land of the undead Games By Paul Acevedo, Wednesday, Feb 13, 2013 at 11:22 am Microsoft has never released a portable console like the Playstation Vita or 3DS, instead opting to publish Xbox-branded games for Windows Phone and Windows 8… A wise choice given the modern trend towards smartphone and tablet gaming over handheld game systems. With the Xbox 360's excellent lineup of downloadable games, Windows Phone users rightfully expected the chance to play many of their XBLA favorites on their mobile phones. Unfortunately, the number of robust, XBLA-quality titles released for Xbox Windows Phone to date is incredibly small. I count only Final Fantasy, Puzzle Quest 2, Castlevania Puzzle, ilomilo, Plants vs. Zombies, Sonic 4: Episode I, and Sonic CD as games with full console-level production values and quantity of content. Crimson Dragon Side Story, Hydro Thunder GO, and Civilization Revolution would be on there too if not for their Playstation One-era graphics. Maybe 11 games out of Xbox Windows Phone's over 150 titles feel like full XBLA games and not just smartphone/casual titles. Well, add another game to the top-tier pile because Skulls of the Shogun from 17-BIT and Microsoft Studios fits right alongside the XBLA and Windows 8 versions that released alongside it.

103 Skulls of the Shogun now available for Windows Phone Games By George Ponder, Tuesday, Jan 29, 2013 at 5:56 pm It's a little early but Skulls of the Shogun is now live in the Windows Phone Store. Due to be released tomorrow, January 30th, the newest Xbox title not only breaks the drought of Xbox game releases but also spans the full gaming spectrum with versions for Windows 8/RT and Xbox Live Arcade as well as for Windows Phone 8 and 7.x. With the release comes special pricing as well. The Windows Phone version is discounted to $4.99, the Windows 8 version will run your $9.99 and the Xbox Live Arcade version launches at 1200 Microsoft Point (about $15). More → 1 47 45 0
54 Skulls of the Shogun for Windows Phone and Windows 8 gets special launch pricing Games By Paul Acevedo, Wednesday, Jan 23, 2013 at 6:53 pm Next week's Xbox Windows Phone release Skulls of the Shogun is possibly Microsoft's most ambitious game yet. Not only will it be launching on Windows Phone, but also XBLA and Windows 8/RT simultaneously. Take that, WSOP: Full House Pro! Sorry, I just ate some sour grapes. On top of the three-platform release, Skulls also supports shared campaign progress across devices thanks to cloud saving and asynchronous cross-platform multiplayer. The only problem with Skulls coming to all Xbox-supporting platforms at once is that Microsoft has yet to establish a 'universal app' pay structure like iOS and the Playstation 3/Vita support. Thankfully the game's developer 17-BIT and Microsoft have just announced special launch pricing that will make picking up all three versions (or even just one) more attractive to gamers.

60 Skulls of the Shogun coming to Windows Phone, XBLA, and Windows 8 on January 30th GamesWindows Phone News By Paul Acevedo, Thursday, Jan 10, 2013 at 2:41 pm We're still unsure about the next couple of weeks, but the drought of Xbox game releases for Windows Phone will definitely cease by the end of the month. Microsoft has made a rare advance release date announcement for a mobile game – and it's a good one. At long last, Skulls of the Shogun from 17-Bit and Microsoft Studios will debut on January 30th for Windows Phone 7 and 8, Xbox Live Arcade, and Windows 8 and RT! More → 2 23 40 0
13 Xbox Live - Skulls of the Shogun for Windows Phone extended hands-on footage Games By Paul Acevedo, Friday, Aug 3, 2012 at 3:51 pm Our recent visit to 17-BIT, Seattle-based makers of upcoming Xbox Live strategy title Skulls of the Shogun included a studio tour and interview with founder Jake Kazdal. As much as I enjoyed those parts of the visit, I was still dying to get my hands on the game itself once again. We had a few minutes with the Windows Phone game at E3, but that wasn't much time to get a grasp on the story mode. Luckily, this time I got to play through the entire first campaign level as well as set up a Skulls Anywhere online game. See our latest hands-on video after the break! More → 0 0 16 0
8 Windows Phone Central visits Skulls of the Shogun studio Games By Paul Acevedo, Saturday, Jul 28, 2012 at 6:00 pm Jake Kazdal (left) and Paul Acevedo At E3 this year we interviewed Ben Vance and Borut Pfeifer, two members of 17-BIT about their upcoming Xbox Live game Skulls of the Shogun. Yet we still had much to learn about the unique multiplatform strategy title, and so 17-BIT kindly invited us to visit their studio during the week of Casual Connect Seattle. One of the highlights of the visit was our interview with Jake Kazdal, studio founder and Skulls' creative director/lead artist. Check it out after the break! More → 0 1 20 0
5 E3 2012 - Skulls of the Shogun developer interview and multiplayer hands-on Games By Paul Acevedo, Friday, Jun 8, 2012 at 4:05 pm One of the biggest highlights of E3 2012 for us has been playing Skulls of the Shogun on Windows Phone and Xbox Live Arcade and meeting two of its creators at 17-BIT. Skulls is an amazingly beautiful and accessible turn-based strategy game in development for XBLA, Windows 8, and Windows Phone. Yesterday we posted our Windows Phone impressions; today we follow up with an interview and in-depth demonstration of the XBLA game in action. (The color shifting in the interview video is due to fancy overhead lights on the show floor.) Head past the break for more Skulls of the Shogun details and gameplay footage! More → 0 3 21 0
15 Hands on with Skulls of the Shogun for Xbox Live on Windows Phone at E3 2012 Games By Paul Acevedo, Wednesday, Jun 6, 2012 at 7:19 pm Windows Phone news at E3 2012 has been slim pickings, but that doesn't mean we're not turning over ever stone in our efforts to discover it. In this case, we actually turned over a skull, and out popped Skulls of the Shogun! Windows Phone Central is proud to present this exclusive first look at the mobile Xbox Live version of Skulls of the Shogun (Skulls for short) in action. We had very little time with the mobile build, but we'll follow up as soon as possible. Skulls comes from indie developer 17-BIT and Microsoft Studios. Set in a feudal Japanese fantasy world, the game tells the story of a deceased general who rallies his troops in the afterlife. The core mechanic is a fast-paced turn-based strategic battle system. Each side starts with up to five troops, each of whom can collect resources, attack, or take strategic positions every turn. Both players (human or AI) have a powerful general character; if he bites the dust, that player loses the battle. We weren't able to check out the mobile Skulls' multiplayer component, but it supports both local play and an online mode called 'Skulls Anywhere' which is being kept tightly under wraps for now. There's also a good chance of connectivity with the Xbox Live Arcade version of the game, but 17-BIT couldn't confirm one way or the other at this point. Skulls of the Shogun comes to Windows Phone, Xbox live Arcade, and Windows 8 sometime near the launch of the Windows 8 operating system. Check back soon when we'll have an in-depth demonstration of the XBLA version as well as a Windows Phone-centric video interview with 17-BIT! More → 2 2 26 0
17 Windows Phone Central's E3 2012 Weekend Trailer Roundup Games By Paul Acevedo, Saturday, Jun 2, 2012 at 7:51 am E3 2012 – the Electronic Entertainment Expo kicks off with Microsoft's press conference this Monday, June 4. We've already outlined our predictions and plans for the event, but that doesn't mean there's nothing new to share right now. A number of developers have released trailers of the console games they're showcasing at E3 ahead of time. First up is Skulls of the Shogun from Haunted Temple Games and Microsoft Studios. Skulls is a beautiful and fast-paced strategy game that's scheduled to arrive on Xbox Live Arcade, Windows 8, and Windows Phone as an Xbox Live title. We'll be playing it at E3, so look forward to our impressions! Head past the break for a big batch of E3 Xbox 360 game trailers! More → 2 7 23 0

Who is Adam Lanza? Very few are answering that question. Those who knew him say he was "quiet and withdrawn", according to the Washington Post. While it's not known if he had some sort of mental disorder, a local clinician in Wichita is working to raise awareness about mental illness.
"Research really shows us that the vast majority of people that will be diagnosed with a mental illness will never be violent, will never have those tendencies and will never outwardly act on them," said clinician with the Mental Health Association of Wichita Andrea Kasper said.
Kasper and other local health advocates say when it comes to mental disorders, early prevention is key. "It takes a very negative and serious act to bring that mental illness to the correct providers attention," said Kasper.
Advocates say more resources need to be put towards help for the mentally ill in schools. "I think schools have to be on board in light of the recent tragedy. Many people are going to question were the proper measures taken?" said expert Stephanie Cline. She's the Director of Children's Support Services and Education at the Mental Health Association of Wichita.
The Mental Health Association says one in five kids in the U.S. cope with a mental disorder. While many fear a negative label for seeking treatment, experts say it's the best way to live with a mental illness.
They say it's never too late to seek help. The Mental Health Association works to get counselors in schools and runs several support groups.

Window blinds manage light to prevent damage to treasured collectiblesMay 18 2011 Shielding art pieces or collectibles from sun damage requires window coverings to manage light. Home decorators who are concerned about damage caused by direct light can start to protect their decorative treasures by choosing a window treatment that brings light into a room, but filters out the strongest sun rays that can fade fabric and other materials. Window blinds are an attractive and practical choice to limit sunlight cast onto collectibles, because they can be adjusted to allow in enough light without the full force of damaging UV rays. Buying custom blinds online broadens the choices even more by selecting colors and finishes that complement a room's décor. Once the light is managed, collectibles can be displayed without fear of damage in a variety of ways, such as setting them within a niche with shelves surrounding a sofa or other prominent piece of furniture. Or, as PotteryBarn.com suggests, homeowners can install a wall display that stands out. "Divide a group of frames to display on mounted ledges," the website advises. "Overlap and stagger the height of the frames for variety." Related Articles | (888) 633-7840 M-F 6am to 5pm Sat 6am to 3pm MST | |||||

Compaq AirLife smartbook has Android, touch
Normally, when we hear about a Compaq product, we associate it with entry-level computers. HP apparently remembers the days when Compaq first released iPAQ smart devices, because it chose to announce the AirLife smartbook device under its Compaq brand instead.
Though tablet PCs are getting the lion's share of attention lately, "smartbooks"--laptop-like devices with advanced smartphone processors and pared-down operating systems--are attempting to build some momentum, too. The Compaq AirLife 100 looks like many Netbooks, but it differs in several ways: it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor instead of an Intel Atom, comes with 3G … Read more

Mini 102 and Mini 210, HP's new consumer Netbooks
We've always been more partial to the Netbooks put out by HP's business side, but budget-conscious buyers can get largely similar systems from HP's consumer side, with lower starting prices.
The line, anchored by the Mini 110 is getting a modest makeover, morphing into the Mini 210. New to this model are optional colors, including Black Crystal, Silver Crystal, Pacific Blue, and Sonoma Red. Most importantly, the awkward side-anchored mouse buttons have been moved to a more traditional spot below the touch pad, fixing one of the major annoyances of the Mini 110.

I'm guessing it has something to do with becoming ruler of the land...dressed as a chicken I got the "Dead space 2" CE in the post today. it has a very cheap plastic laser cutter weapon replica that lights up still, it's a nice enough package and i'm looking forward to crapping my pants again, when i play the game. |

thats one hell of dead space grind. you must have gone through a lot of underpants Pier solar is a new megadrive game. it's been in the works for about 5 years or so. i'm pretty sure i have mentioned in the club. orders where taken right from the start, so you can imagine i have been waiting a long time for this one. if you are quick you might be able to get a copy as, i believe, they are reprinting after the initial 800. |

Havent opened out the package yet. Just finished Homefront, and boy the single player mode is short.... Darksiders is a pretty good game, but I didnt persist long enough into the game. These 3D action games are kinda like my kryptonite... Will start to play Crysis 2 soon, I think... |

If you have a hard time finding a game locally, why not network here and have someone send it to you? Anyway, i didnt know about the DQ V numbers, might have to get that for my 3DS, which is awesome! Wish there was an IM feature as you travel (since it has a pedometer built in)... |

i really like it. i was contemplating upgrading the DSlite to the XL just before the 3DS announcement. Not dissapointed so far. Pro-evo is great in 3D, ridge racer is average but fun. Streetfighter is just awsome in portable format. it's easy to get the hang of it and plays very smoothly. There is the obvious lag online, but overall they have done a good job. There are so many tricks inside the console and it would be a delight to see developers utlise the functions. the gold coins and AR modes are so much fun. great ideas. I thought you would have one straight away. has there been a delay? |
Wombie | #379 Subject: I got a new game! Posted: 04/06/2011 00:22:07 |
Cusser: There was no delay.... there were people selling 3DS in Hong Kong days before the official Japanese release date(although at 2x the RRP!). I have been sitting on the fence due to the highly inflated local price and the regional lockout, as I need to decide what region/version I want to play. So far I am leaning towards a US/Asia version anyway, but we will see. Thanks for the advices by the way! I will definitely get SSF IV, but other than that, I am not sure what else I want to play.... |

Didn't get the Tournament Edition? That's the one that's actually pretty rare. Anyway I wonder what's going to come with the Collector and Epic editions of Gears of War 3, the Epic Edition is $150! Maybe they will make another gun replica, I jsut sold my extra new Lancer for $355 on ebay. :) Unfortunately all that money will be spent on bills, I really need to find another job... |

We didn't get the Tourny edition in the UK. The kollectors edition is different to the states. we got a figurine rather than book ends. I bought the harback guide for Mortal kombat. Very nice it is. lots of art work and a few interviews, as well as the fighting guide. |

Brink is a pretty good game, but the ally AIs are purely useless when you reach > level 10. Most people locally are playing LA Noire now. I havent even bothered to load the game up yet.... :/ |

A friend of mine doesn't like it much. He says it's cool to watch someone play, but he's getting pretty bored with it. I bought the collector's edition of Perfect Dark Zero for $5 a while back from GameStop and I still hadn't played it yet. |

New Wave Enviro Enviro Bottle with Handle Dairy -- 1 Gallon
Breaks Easily
I have bought three of these bottles and none of them lasted more than a few months. The first one I dropped with water in it and it shattered (my fault). The next two suddenly acquired about 1/4 inch holes...pieces in the seam that just broke off for no reason. I will never buy this product again...a waste of my money!

Love the shape
These bottles are so much easier to fit in the fridge or cooler. Love them.

Israel's "red line" is that the country will not negotiate with anyone over Jerusalem, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman told Army Radio on Sunday, after the EU condemned as "settlement building" a plan to build 797 homes in Gilo.
"Jerusalem is not a settlement," Liberman said in his second attack on the EU since its public censure of the plan. "Gilo is a Jewish neighborhood. Today there are 32-33,000 Jews living there. It's an integral part of Jerusalem."
An Interior Ministry regional planning committee gave initial approval to the project in June and completed the planning process on Thursday, according to Hagit Ofran of Peace Now.
But before construction can begin, the Ministry of Construction and Housing and/or the Israel Lands Authority must call for tenders and the Jerusalem Municipality must issue building permits.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton condemned the plan and called it "regrettable" and "illegal."
"Settlements are illegal under international law and threaten to make a two-state solution impossible," her office said. "The EU has repeatedly urged the government of Israel to immediately end all settlement activities in the West Bank, including in east Jerusalem, in line with its obligations under the road map."
Liberman encouraged European officials to focus on their internal issues, including ongoing strife in Brussels and Cyprus. He also invited them to visit Gilo to gain a better understanding of the neighborhood's relation to Israel's capital. "Gilo is a seven minute walk from the city center," he said. "Its population is homogeneously Jewish."
He added: "Every Israeli government has built there, starting with [former prime minister Levi] Eshkol and [former prime minister] Golda Meir."
"The stance the EU has taken is unilateral, and one which does not promote dialogue with the Palestinians," he said. "It is an anti-Israel position."
Pressed on why Liberman endorses EU intervention on the Iranian threat while denying its stance on settlements, the foreign minister stated that the European sanctions against Iran are in its self interest. "The EU is not working for us. They're working for them," he said. "The sanctions they're imposing on Iran are not for Israel's sake. The Iranian regime is supporting genocide in Syria, they're terrorizing Lebanon. They tried to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in US."
Turning to the domestic political arena, Liberman decried Labor party leader Shelly Yacimovich, saying she was promoting an agenda that is "Cuban and North Korea."
"Shelly Yacimovich uses all of the slogans of the communists," he said. "We'll take money from the rich and give it to the poor. This is pure populism. She has no idea what a social democratic state even is."
Liberman mentioned that he is close friends with former prime minister Ehud Olmert, who is currently contemplating a return to politics.
