There are many theories among scientists about how the universe is shaped. Part of the reason for this is space is difficult for us to visualize. The standard human experience of space can be described in terms of three dimensions: length, width and height. All three of these dimensions can be easily engaged by humans: You can walk down a road, zigzagging back and forth as you travel, and then you can climb a tree at the end of your journey. Congratulations -- you have navigated all three dimensions of space. According to the laws of physics, however, real space needs at least four dimensions to be described accurately. Cosmologists have determined that the primary four dimensions are length, width, depth and time -- a combination referred to as space-time.
According to string theory, there are actually even more dimensions than this: At least 10 dimensions must exist for the working equations to be considered valid. According to the space-time model that helped us picture Einstein's theory of general relativity, the fourth dimension is commonly defined as time. It's directional, just as length, width and height. In the case of time, however, it's more than just 60 minutes totaling an hour, or the time of day. According to Einstein's theories of relativity, time is bound up in the concept of space; the two are inseparable, and thus any event can be described as occurring on a space-time continuum.
Considering time a fourth dimension helps us understand the ways that space and time affect one another. For example, a gravitational field -- which is, according to Einstein, just a depression in the topography of space -- can alter the rate at which time passes for objects in the field. Satellites with highly accurate clocks can measure this, in fact: When they return to Earth, they show that the rate at which time passed in space was slightly different than the rate at which time passes on the surface on the Earth. Such experiments illustrate that even though humans experience time in a much different way than they experience space, these concepts are really part of the same system.
How did Newton's views on time and space differ from Einstein's?

Job done, Belgium can go back to dissolving
Full coverage of UK politics
I have written before about the EU's "hideous strength": its capacity to vitiate democracy within its member states, making national leaders act against their judgment, their constituents' wishes and their parties' interests.
The latest example comes from Belgium. Regular readers of this blog will know that, for several months, there was no Belgian government. Not that anyone seemed to mind : the traffic lights still worked, the breweries continued to brew, the Eurocrats went on stirring gloopy, vitamin-enriched Nutroma into their coffees.
After a while, though, the absence of a settlement started seriously to alarm the EU. For, if there were no Belgian government, who would sign the
European Constitution Lisbon Treaty? And so a ministry was cobbled together under Yves Leterme. It had no programme, and failed to reach agreement on the vital issue of relations between the French- and Dutch-speaking populations, but never mind: it had the authority to sign treaties. Job done, the Belgian government has now dissolved again. As the Brussels Journal puts it: "A government was needed to have the Treaty ratified in Belgium. Last week, Belgium ratified the Treaty. Its government is now no longer needed."
The progressive unravelling of Belgium will presumably carry on from where it stopped. Even the goody-goody Economist is calling for a "praline divorce", and it is hard to avoid the conclusion that Belgium's constituent peoples would be happier as neighbours than as cohabitees. The main losers, of course, would be the apparatchiks: the people who run the various pan-Belgian institutions designed to foster national unity, such as trade unions, social security funds and quangoes. Rather like the EU, really.

When it comes to high heels, a lot of women swear by their Manolos, Choos, or other designer labels. For others, it's one of the comfort brands.
Me? I tend to be more of a style queen than a label slave. I look for shoes that have chunkier heels and platform soles, and I steer clear of pointy toes, all in an attempt to be more comfortable in heels.
However, one brand that I do find to be pretty consistently comfortable is Nine West.
But, as we all know, one size does not fit all, and one brand doesn't either.
So, what say ye?
When it comes to high heels, which brands do you find to be the most comfortable? (Use the "Comment" link below to share your thoughts.)

The Chamber of Minerals and Energy has rejected the Greens' call to keep more mining profits in Australia by expanding the resources tax.
A report, commissioned by the Greens, found foreign interests own about 83 per cent of Australia's mining industry and about $50 billion in profits will leave the country over the next five years.
The Greens say the mining tax needs to be increased to ensure more mining profits remain in Australia.
The chamber's Nicole Roocke says growth in the resources sector has been underpinned by foreign investment.
"It's important to acknowledge that there is more than $150 billion worth of resource projects that are either underway or under consideration or in development in this state," she said.
"Projects that would just not proceed without that foreign investment."

Water Polo Climbs to No. 2 in National PollKingsmen move up one spot

BRIDGEPORT, Pa. – The Cal Lutheran men's water polo team is one point away from the top spot in the nation, jumping to the No. 2 position in the Week 5 Division III Top 10 Poll as voted on by the Collegiate Water Polo Association.
Cal Lutheran earned a 5-0 victory, by forfeit, over Division I St. Francis after the Terriers played with an illegible player last week in a double overtime battle.
The Kingsmen improved to 5-6 entering league play Oct. 3.
Of the six losses this fall, all have been to scholarship Division I schools. CLU defeated Division I Fordham at the Princeton Invitational to open the season.
Thus far in 2012, the Kingsmen have faced three different SCIAC schools, earning one-goal victories in each, including a double overtime thriller against Claremont-Mudd-Scripps to conclude the UC Davis Aggie Shootout in late September.
Pomona-Pitzer clung to the No. 1 spot with 95 points. CLU is second with 94 and Johns Hopkins is currently third with 93. They are the only three schools with 90+ points in the poll.
The weekly poll is voted on by a panel of coaches from the CWPA, Western Water Polo Association (WWPA), Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF), Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), and released on Wednesday during each week of the season through the week following the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship.

Just thought I'd add that when the app updates you better check to see if the computer portion needs it also! I didn't know this and mine stopped working till I updated the dashmetercom part. If every one else knew this sorry, if not maybe it will save you some grief!
(77 stars)
This app is an answered prayer for sim racers needing the data tools to be competitive, but do not have the finances to purchase products such as Leo Bodnar's SLI-M or Pro. Sure there are other apps for Android, however this is just way robust and the brightness of the LED's is great. Hard to miss shifts with this one... I also purchased the app for iRacing.
(77 stars)
Awesome app, fast and accurate. Was thinking of buying very expensive usb rev counter and speedo, but for my needs this is perfect. Shows more information than I was hoping for, liked it so much I bought it for Torque pro. Thank you and keep up the good work.
(77 stars)
Working great with new Raceroom Racing Experience Teaser. Easy to install.

Suchet reveals how he perfected Poirot's distinct walk
David Suchet has revealed how he went the extra mile to perfect Hercule Poirot's distinctive walk when he first won the role of Agatha Christie's Belgian detective.
He borrowed a technique from the late British film and theatre icon, Sir Laurence Olivier in order to perfect Poirot's "rapid, mincing gait", the 67-year-old actor told the Radio Times.
Suchet, who plays the famous detective for the last time in ITV's Curtain: Poirot's Last Case later this month, told the Radio Times:
– Hercule Poirot actor David Suchet
Laurence Olivier, when he was playing a fop in a Restoration play, wanted to mince ... and famously he put a penny in the crack of his bottom and walked and wouldn't let it drop. If you do that, you can't walk fast, so I did the same thing.
Asked whether he had to use the penny trick for the last 24 years, Suchet replied:
– Actor David Suchet
No, but what I made myself do when I wanted to walk like Poirot was to squeeze my bottom.
That makes you walk with short strides and that's all I do. If you think of Poirot and how he walks - that precise little thing is very much who he is. He is not a man of broad, relaxed gestures.
Suchet said filming Poirot's final scene was "the hardest day's filming of my career".
The actor has played Agatha Christie's highly perceptive sleuth over 70 episodes, with his final performance taking place on 13 November.

Romney Can Get the Job Done
President Barack Obama is charismatic and inspiring, but he won office too early in his career, and he is a victim of his own success. Sweeping into office with majorities in the Senate and House, Obama quickly passed a Democrats-only stimulus package that didn't deliver as promised. Then he signed a health care package that increased the burden of health care on private employers and failed to attract a single GOP vote.
Obama's Affordable Care Act helped unseat moderate and other Democrats who had voted for the package, handing the House to Republicans. Suddenly, Obama had to work across the aisle. He reached out to House Speaker John Boehner in an effort to negotiate a "grand bargain," but his insistence on raising taxes on families earning $250,000 or more sabotaged the effort. Obama could have pushed for tax reform as a means to raise revenue. Instead, he clung to a gimmick that would do next to nothing to dent the $16 trillion national debt — it would fund government for about a week — and was doomed to fail in the House. It's not even clear that Democrats, excluded from his talks, would have supported the Obama tax hike.
As long as Obama insists on this particular tax hike, there can be no deal to stop the country from going over the "fiscal cliff" — a tax increase on 90 percent of households, along with mandated spending cuts — on Jan. 1. The president won't change course, even though the threat of the fiscal cliff scares employers who otherwise might hire new workers.
Undaunted, Obama told The Des Moines Register on Tuesday that going over the fiscal cliff "will probably be messy" but that it is essential to position Washington so he can get a "grand bargain." Obama wants to take the U.S. economy over the cliff so that he can save it later.
In 2012, voters have a choice between an incumbent who has given up until 2013 and a challenger who just doesn't quit.
Mitt Romney is far from a perfect candidate. He ran as a socially moderate fiscal conservative when he campaigned to replace Ted Kennedy as senator in 1994 and to be governor of Massachusetts in 2002. When he pivoted to run for the White House, he transformed himself from Massachusetts Republican to traditional-values anti-maverick Republican.
If Romney has changed, it is in part because of a personal journey that often brought a reserved man outside of his comfort zone — Stanford during the anti-war era, France as a Mormon missionary, Harvard's law and business schools. Romney put down roots in Massachusetts. If Romney came of age sticking to his bedrock values, he did so acutely aware of a world that did not share his beliefs and fiercely protected the right to flout them.
Obamaland tried to paint Romney as a conservative anti-woman extremist, but his happy wife and soft-spoken manner belied that image. Stanford professor William B. Hurlbut, who advised Romney on bioethics, describes Romney as a "decent man" who is clear-minded. "He's capable about thinking of a subject both in its human implications and its practical implementation."
Obama also has criticized Romney for being light on details — specifically not telling voters which tax exemptions he would eliminate to compensate for his proposed tax rate reductions. I, too, question Romney's ability to deliver on his pledge to reduce all income tax rates by 20 percent, increase military spending and reduce the deficit. But I think he starts from a sweet spot.
Romney earned his reputation as a turnaround artist as a venture capitalist and savior of the Olympics. He balanced four state budgets and passed a landmark health care bill with the help of Kennedy, a former rival. Romney has proved that he can get things done, work across the aisle and broker deals.
I asked Martin F. Nolan, former Boston Globe Washington bureau chief, how Romney got along with the Bay State's Democratic leaders. "He didn't love them, but he talked to them," quoth Nolan. Romney held regular Monday meetings with the leadership, which is why "you never hear any of them trashing him."
And he knows how to get a job done.

On a rare evening without our children, we decided to dine at the Acropolis. It has been a few years since my husband and I dined there and it was as delicious as we remembered. The service was excellent, loved the atmosphere. We will be returning soon!
We reserved a table by the fire, which was so nice. The atmosphere was cozy, the restaurant was full. Staff was informative and very helpful. Loved the hummus and Tzatziki. The meals are very generous portions. Food was fresh and fast. I too miss the lemon potatoes hope they come back. But the rest of the evening was perfect. Thanks...
I really did not enjoy the new potatoes I could make those at home. Nice atmosphere and staff though
Went here for dinner with friends. The service, food and atmosphere where the best we have seen in Grande Prairie. The price was reasonable and the deserts were great. It was a Saturday night and every table was full. I suggest making reservations so you get in. We will defiantly go back.
Having previously lived in Grande Prairie, I had several very memorable dinning experiences here some years ago. Unfortunately several friends I have recommended this establishment to in the interm have reported back with mediocre experiences. Tonight I was back in this crazy busy northern city and was able re-try this authentic greek taverna, and am really happy that not only...
We wanted to try something different, and we did. Been over every week since then.
Some of our friends went and check it out, and they totally feel the same.
Have to experience the food, the service and the atmosphere. Its is a must. LM
It was great to see that our favourite in Grande Prairie was open again. The original owner; Stelios has partnered with local Scott Sergeant to re-open the restaurant. There was nothing wrong with the "old" Acropolis but tonight was like being welcomed into the Greek home of a family friend. The food was amazing (we had the Ribs and Greek...

Christmas is cancelled this year. Sorry kid.
Made with Toon Boom. Took about a week.
Special thanks to NG for the awards(!) and my coffee machine.
Not funny nor entertaining, but good animation though.
what do you mean not funny? It's a FAT GUY ON FIRE!!
This is why kids give santa cookies and milk instead of cookies and beer
it doesn't matter what you give him, he carries his own bottle anyway
All that alchol on his breath made him even more flammable.
true. His beard is like a fuel-soaked rag.
Drunken santa on fire? yay!
can't go wrong!
Why didn't he just dump the glass of milk on himself ?
Probably cos the animator forgot to draw milk in the scene.

Image was taken in Washington DC, at one of the many Metro stations. I love the contrast between items in motion and the stationary objects. Processed with Redynamix to give it a slight HDR feel. Taken with Nikon D50 and Nikkor 18-70mm lens.
awesome capture Andy
Thank you so much Gabriele!
– Andy Mueller
I can't wait to go back there! Was a bit… a shock for a country girl…LOL Awesome capture! Love the "rush" feel this gives… Thats sure how it felt to me.
Yes I get the "rush" thing, but also like the architecture (ceiling) and the items not in motion at all. Thanks for the comment!
– Andy Mueller
Pleas be careful of the third rail….it can be a shocker!
Motion shots aren't easy so I can appreciate this work Andy…kudos!
Yes, that dreaded third rail …. Thank you for the kind words, I love these "motion" shots.

Thank you so much, Mary!

Cool shot Andy, really liking that Redynamix huh?
Yes Joel, for some applications the Redynamix really produces some fantastic results. Not all, but some for sure!
– Andy Mueller
Joel, yes for some shots Redynamix really works well, not for all, but some are quite stunning!

Great work Andy, i had to hold on when i looked at this!
Thank you Dave, I take your comment as quite the compliment!

You mean this isnt HDR?
Holy Crap…

Renny - 2014-04-08
After the baby yellow naped hatches and you remove the baby about 3-4 weeks after to hand feed, will the pair mate again and lay some more eggs? Or do I have to wait until the next breeding season? I feed a pellets diet. Can I continue feeding the pellets diet to the parents after the baby hatches or do I have to feed dry extract food powder?

I recently adopted a 10 yr. old male yellow naped amazon. When I first met him he would go to anyone. A day after I brought him home my 10 yr. old daughter was holding him on her arm, I put my arm out and told him to step up and he came after me and bit me. Now whenever my daughter is home and has him out I have to go in another room. He will even try to attack me if he is on top of his cage. He comes down the side of his cage and hangs off of it like he's going to fly and attack me. What can I do?

I have a 10 year old yellow naped amazon parrot called Charlie. I have had him for 4 years and he has always been no bother for me but recently I have moved back into my parents house with him and at meal time he has become extremely greedy even though he gets food the same time we eat and he eats the same food as we are eating. He still screams how do I make him stop ...? And Charlie has never liked men since I got him, he will tolerate my dad but will not entertain my boyfriend. Is there any way to make Charlie like men a bit more ...?

Constance - 2009-11-14
I have had my Yellow Nape for 24 years and of course my husband and I are part of the flock. However, she loves all strangers unless she senses they do not like her. Yellow Napes are very intelligent and very high social as most birds because they are flock animals.
No one should have a Yellow Nape unless they understand all the needs of this very beautiful and special bird. Yellow Napes love to be held and allowed to have 4-5 hours of play time daily if not more. With a good diet, clean and I mean clean cage, and lots of social time with the family the Yellow Nape is a joy to have as a family member. Yes, they need to be a member of the family for ever. They do not adjust being moved around with different people like a cat of dog. Especially, Yellow Napes they are very smart, loving and bond for life. They can die of a broken heart.
Usually, if a Yellow Nape is biting and displays behavior problems the bird has been mis-treated or simply handled wrong.
Parrots do not bite unless scared and they just want to be loved and handled correctly. There are many rules to follow when handling a parrot.
I must say our bird has been so loved and is so happy in captivity she really is so sweet.
I have been working with birds for thirty years and they are very special animals that are misunderstood many times.
For anyone who needs to find a good safe place for their bird you can contact:
Phoenix Landing in Asheville, North Carolina, they are a parrot care foundation and they will adopt and educate others before allowing a bird to go to a home. Their phone number is 828 251 1333.
If this number does not work you can look them up on the internet and with a bit of time contact these people.
Thank you

I have had my YNA since he was 16 weeks old, visiting him weekly with the breeder. He is now 15 years old. I followed my breeder's instructions intoducing him to many people. He knows many of the neighbors in my condominium building, I don't allow him to be handled by my neighbors, but he is great around them when we are in the laundry room. I also have introduced him to friends, and he will go quite readily to them. YNA are quite loud, but that is typical of larger parrots in general. A YNA should be owned by people who enjoy being home, and are true animal lovers. They take time. think of them as perpetual two year-olds. I have never regretted my decision in purchasing Clyde. I think of him as my child.

We have had a yellow nape, Salty, for 28 years, ever since he was a baby. He has gotten very mean over the last few years. I am the one he loves, and yet, now when I'm petting him, he pretends to like it and then, all of a sudden, he bites me horribly. He has also discovered that we get very annoyed when he makes a certain sound at regular intervals over a long period of time, so he loves to do that. Recently, when I let him out of his cage, he attacked our dog, and they got in a big fight with no one hurt. He also chases my husband when he's out of the cage, which is pretty funny! Basically tho, no one can stand him, and we don't know what to do with him. My husband called a parrot haven, and they said they don't take yellow napes. Also, I'm told he won't do well in a new environment. We don't want him to suffer, and we don't know what to do!!

We are a young family with three small children that enjoys the outdoors and vacationing. We manage many rentals so please know you are working with experienced property owners when you rent from us.
We could not pass up the wonderful windows, large bedrooms and great common space. We looked at virtually every complex near the hill in Steamboat. This unit and property were perfect for us because of the proximity to skiing without the downside of snow machine noise and complex views you find at other platinum level resorts. If we were going to be in the mountains, we wanted mountain views. Also, our building has a positive reputation for being quiet with a great shuttle that is easy to use and readily available.
We really wanted underground parking, an elevator and interior hallways. A great shuttle and appropriately sized pool and hot tub for size of complex were also high on our list. The Bunk room was a clincher for us since that will allow the unit to hold two families easily.

Kudos to Congressman Scott Perry for not just saying no and being part of a solution. How refreshing. Joining the "No Labels Problem Solvers," a group of Republican and Democrat U.S. House and Senate members, is exactly what I want for my elected officials leading our country.
I am seriously considering a Pennsylvania Senate run for the 28th District. This is what I have in mind for state government. Politics must be put aside and the work of the people must take center stage. And for York County residents, that would be school property tax elimination.

From Publishers Weekly
Fans of bestseller Smith's ancient Egyptian series will welcome the fourth book in the saga, which picks up where Warlock (2001) left off. The powerful magus Taita and his loyal ally, Col. Meren Cambyses, have returned to Egypt after a journey of many years only to find the country beset by a series of plagues that include giant flesh-eating toads and river water turned to blood. Pharaoh Nefer Seti asks the pair to find—and eliminate—the source of his country's torment, a mission that sends Taita and Meren on a perilous quest in which they must contend with fierce creatures both natural and supernatural. Once again Smith deftly blends history, fantasy and mythology, but newcomers should be prepared for grisly deaths and mutilations. 225,000 printing.(May)

Wilber Smiths saga of ancient Egypt continues. Taita, beloved advisor of the pharaoh, sets out on a quest to rid Egypt of the plagues that threaten the kingdom. Taita knows that the witch Eos is behind the troubles and that he must travel to the source of the Nile to confront her. Simon Vance is an indefatigable narrator. Long narrative passages move swiftly, and dialogue is sharp. Vance keeps the rhythm of the story moving as Taita and his comrades face difficult odds in the conflict with Eos. Their struggles and the accompanying suspense are intense. While Vances portrayals of the main characters are strong and forceful, he also depicts the tenderness between Taita and Fenn, and their friendship with Meren. J.E.M.

I am not a big fan of pumpkin beers but I decided to give this one a try. Pours a dark golden brown color. The smell was very pleasant; roasted pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and ginger. The taste was suprisingly good. A balance of malt, pumpkin and spice. I would reach for this again if I ever were in the mood for a pumpkin beer.

22 oz bottle courtesy of mymrnngjckt. Pours a hazed, dark copper color with a miniscule off-white head. What is there sticks around a good while and sticks to the glass well.
Nose is toffee malts with plenty of pumpkin spices - cloves and cinnamon being most prevalent. Bready yeast and some licorice come out a bit as it warms.
Taste is surprisingly crisp and has a serious nutmeg presence that really dries it out tremendously with the alcohol. Quite 'gourdy', which is nice and doesnt go overboard with the spices. Mouthfeel is decent enough, not necessarily full or creamy, but enough malt body makes it through. Like a brown ale on pumpkin steroids...good beer - color me surprised!

I entered this review last week but it was lost during the recent server crash. Trying to recreate as best I can. On tap at the Backyard Ale House.
This is my 6th Breaker beer and this is by far the best I have had. I am not a big pumpkin ale fan but this was the 2nd best pumpkin ale I've ever had, next to only Pumking. It was so good I actually had 2 pints. Very authentic roasted pumpkin aroma and flavor. It was spicy, but the caramel sweetness and pumpkin flavor really balanced it out. More authentic pumpkin flavor than most any pumpkin ale I've had. Very smooth, creamy, and drinkable, and surprisingly full body given that it's only 6%. Really a top notch pumpkin beer. Very well done guys.

On tap at the Ice House. Served in a shaker glass. Potbelly appears a clear deep amber color with about a finger of creamy light rust colored head. Nose and flavor consist of cinnamon, roasted pumpkin meat, nutmeg, allspice, brown sugar, sweet malt and biscuits. Decent carbonation levels with a medium body. Pretty tasty, although I'm guessing freshness was a factor here.

This is the subsidiary summit off of the northwest side of the Donald Duck formation. The two crags are separated by a deep notch.
Getting There
From the Crest, hike down the La Luz Trail. After the tight switchbacks in the Estrellita/Hole-in-the-Wall vicinity, you pass by the Fin on the right (north), as illustrated in this Photo.

Abrams on Fringe: Science, Conspiracies and 'The Pattern'
- |
- 3:51 pm |
- Permalink
Weird science, evil corporate conspiracies and mind-altering drugs are just a few of the trippy themes that bubble up in Fringe, the highly anticipated FBI-meets-Twilight Zone series from sci-fi auteur J.J. Abrams.
The two-hour Fringe pilot, debuting Tuesday on Fox, introduces federal investigator Olivia Dunham (played by Australian newcomer Anna Torv), her unlikely ally Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson) and his mad scientist father, Walter (John Noble). They team up to investigate a horrific airplane disaster, which leads into an increasingly bizarre rabbit hole of strange incidents.
So-called fringe science, including re-animation, invisibility and assorted paranormal phenomena, serves as the show's foundation. Lurking in the background, a corporate shark (Blair Brown) employed by the mysterious Massive Dynamic conglomerate, promises plenty of fodder for conspiracy buffs.
Abrams (pictured to the left of Brown, Jackson and Torv at Fringe's New York City premiere) established his geek cred as the co-creator of Alias and Lost.
Taking a break from editing the new Star Trek movie, the director-writer-producer got on the phone with reporters Thursday to offer a few hints at what viewers can expect as Fringe takes shape in the months to come.
On Fringe's slam-bang setup: "When we did the pilot for Lost, we had the monster appear at the end of the first act because we wanted to say to the audience, 'We're jumping the shark now. We're not going to wait. We're doing crazy shit from the beginning.' On Fringe, we very consciously made what is in many ways a preposterous, front-end scientific story choice in order to say to the audience, 'This is what you're going to be getting on the show.' It may be more extreme in some episodes, less so in others."
On the Fringe mythology: "I'm drawn to overarching, long-term stories so there will still be a mythology through the evolution of characters and revelations about what 'the pattern' means. But we're writing the show so it is not as serialized as Lost.
"What made X-Files so great is that they'd do a number of shows that have nothing to do with the mythology. Fringe is closer to E.R. almost, where you have these ongoing relationships and story lines, and yet week to week, when the door bursts open, you're faced with the insane urgent situation of the week."
Science fact, not fiction: "Though you could say it's science fiction, the weird thing about Fringe is that a lot of the stuff is at least in the realm of possibility. It's not sci-fi — it's just sci.
"When Star Trek came out and they had their communicators, that was a cool dream. Now, in our pockets, we all have communicators. We read a week ago that invisibility is coming. You go, 'They cracked invisibility.' There's stuff you wouldn't think in a million years is possible, and it's happening every day.
"We're living in an incredibly advanced period of scientific achievement, almost uncontrollably so, and that keeps pushing our almost quaint version of what science fiction is to a different place."
On finding Torv: "Our casting director showed us a video audition Anna did for another movie and I just got that feeling: 'That's the person.' I wish there was some clever technique we use to do this, but whether its Keri Russell walking through the door, or Jennifer Garner, or now Anna, it's simply the fact that when you see the right person, the question becomes, 'Oh my God can we get her?' Anna was smart and beautiful, but not in a way that seemed phony."
On corporate conspiracy: "The show does not hit on the corporate conspiracy aspect as much as the pilot might suggest. In the role played by Blair Brown, it's much more important what happens between her boss, who we have yet to meet, and Walter Bishop. Their back story is more about the characters than a clichéd sort of look at corporate culture. Having said that, I don't trust corporate culture at all."

3.5/5 rDev 0%
Plum Market in BLOOMFIELD is the smallest of two Bloomfield locations [the other location is in WEST Bloomfield]. The Market is similar to the West Bloomfield location in that it has a good selection of natural, organic, specialty and local products including wine and beer [did not notice any liquor as is sold in the WEST Bloomfield location].
As mentioned, this location is [much] smaller than the West Bloomfield one resulting in a much smaller selection of beer. The Market offers a selection of MICHIGAN BREWERS; Atwater, Bells, Founders, Jolly Pumpkin, Shorts, Tri-City Brewing etc. Other out-of-state Brewers; Dog Fish, Great Lakes, Goose Island, Lagunitas, Mendocino, Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, Southern Tier etc. Some German examples are; Ayinger, Erdigner, Franziskaner, Paulaner Spaten, Warsteiner, etc. A sampling of their Belgian offerings are; Chimay, Duvel, Hoegaarden, Stella Artois, and Trappistes Rocherfort. Various other brands; Unibroue, Smithwicks, and Lion. Plum Market also offers "Mix- Your-Own-6-Pack" from a selection of approximately 50 singles that are individually priced and you receive a 10% discount when purchasing a 6-pack or more. This location also offers an "EVANS Pick 6". A [unique] pre made 6-pack of 6 different brews. Also, most of their offerings are in coolers.
Service was good, during my visit I was asked by two different employees if I needed any assistance. Plum Market is worth a visit if you are in the area.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 130 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by dadina14 Under expectaction My overnight stay in this hotel was under my expectaction. I was disappointed by the room I was assigned. I expected a nice-view room (being a starchoice member), instead it was on the 2nd floor, with view on internal side of the hotel. Confort of the bathroom was poor, it had a small lavabo, hot water difficult to have (I could not get a hot shower). August 18, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Aziz123 Avoid this hotel!! Hotel is run down . Rooms are too small and in need of substantial improvements. Majority of Staff are poorly trained. Food is ok but definitely overpriced. No tangible privileges to SPG members. August 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by lovevacation66 This hotel is a great choice Beautiful hotel, great staff, wonderful concierge, beautiful beach and pool Food was very expensive August 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LandedSPG Very good hotel but not great! We stayed here for three nights in late May of 2012 right before the Monaco Grand Prix started. Over all this is very good hotel, however, you should temper your category 6 expectations. I would note that the view is spectacular IF you are facing the right direction, which we wear. Also, the morning breakfast is also very good with a good but limited variety of choices. I was a Plat and I didn't get upgraded to a suite, the claim was it was all booked solid but the hotel traffic would suggest otherwise. However, I didn't harp on it. I was also on the 4th floor, a non-SPG floor, which was a little odd too. We were in the Design room, which I have to say is very cool, but the washroom/shower area is not "designed" well at all! The shower is a semi open concept and the water gets everywhere in the whole washroom area. Other than that, everything room-wise fine. I should add the in-room service was very prompt and accurate which was very nice (however, that would also indicate low-occupancy rate). The location and accessibility of the hotel were also very good and we didn't have any issues with that, nor did we have any issues with the concierge, which was very informative and polite. Although the front desk staff was not operating at a category 6 standard! We didn't feel particularly welcome and were dealt with in a very mater of fact kind of way even though the check-in and check-out was not busy at all, again suggesting low-occupancy. ;) Anyway, over all this is a solid hotel that I would visit again but it has room to get better, especially if it stands at a category 6 standard, which it barely met in my opinion, with the exception of the location and the beach front. May 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by sergio06 hotel tres satisfaisant, staff tres professionnel We spent 3 days for familly vacations in the Meridien. Very good staff , very pro and charming, 100 % available, with high level of flexibility. We really want to thank everybody in the Meridien. And I would like to mention the high level of patience of all the staff with few impolite customers. Best regards Merci Serge August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Melly123 Brilliant holiday! I took my mother on her first holiday abroad in 22 years and even I was amazed by how perfect the stay was. The hotel is beautiful and modern, the room has aircon and is clean and bright. The thing that made the experience the best was how attentive, friendly and polite the staff are. They are always willing to help. I would recommend this hotel to families, couples- anyone. The facilities are great there are more than enough sun loungers round the pool and the private beach is beautiful. Food is also brilliant. Fantastic experience over all, can't wait to go back! July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by StarwoodObsessed22 Amazing hotel in Monaco! I travel often and I was blown away by my experience at this hotel! I was a Gold member when I arrived at this hotel (became platinum during my trip) and the hotel manager went above and beyond my expectations to provide me with a truly wonderful upgraded room. The facilities of the hotel are absolutely phenomenal. The private beach is an oasis and the staff makes sure your ever need is taken care of. You are also not crammed in like sardines like many of the private beaches in places like the South of France. The pool is extremely large with many lounge chairs surrounding it and provides for a great place to cool off and an excellent place for children to play - should you have them. The restaurants that are on the open terrace were wonderful and the atmosphere was very romantic. The fitness facility was the best I have seen in a hotel in a long time and I made sure to take full advantage of it! The proximity of this hotel to the main spots in Monaco is good - during the day you can certainly walk along the boardwalk and to the casino/main area however, if you're dressed up for a night out you'll want to take a cab. All of the staff at the hotel were a delight - the concierge helped with restaurant bookings and the bell men at the door were entertaining and so quick to respond to every need. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone travelling to Monaco. I know I will certainly be back and cannot wait until the next time I get to stay! August 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Haitham Amazing experience service is just amazing. All staff is absolutely charming and helpful, from the check-in, the pool service. Besides, the rooms are amazing, we had the Deluxe Suite with a nice balcony and the most amazing view of the sea and city. We only tried food once the night before departure, it was really good for late night menu. Concierge are very helpful and very knowledgable, they got my friends and I on the guest list in the most exclusive clubs in Monaco. November 13, 2011
