In addition to the vast collection of e-books available from Amazon, the Kindle Fire also includes access to Amazon's Appstore for thousands of apps as well as streaming movie and TV content.
The Kindle Fire is Wi-Fi enabled and delivers Web content via Amazon's Silk cloud-accelerated, Flash-enabled "split browser" Web browser.

The Greenridge 5 (407-57) is a single level triplex with two bedrooms and two baths. Each unit is 1,010 square feet with the garage being 277 square feet. The garages extend forward providing long covered porches for each unit. The roof is hipped on each side and the garages are gabled. It provides a unique clean look to the face of the units.
Entry to each unit is down a long covered porch and to the left in units 1 and 3 and to the right in the center unit 2. There is a coat closet on the left and the washer/dryer is directly in front. Turning to the right, one enters a hallway past the kitchen toward the dining/living room.
The kitchen is U-shaped with a center island containing the range and oven along with a cabinet overhead. The sink is under a large window and the dishwasher is adjacent. It has been raised to make loading and unloading easier. The counter space is extensive with an eating bar on the dining room side.
The dining room and the living room are both vaulted and are one long open area. There is a set of patio doors opening onto the backyard and concrete patio area. Off the living room is the master suite with a private bath. The suite has large window facing the rear and a huge walk-in closet adjacent the master bath. The access to the foundation is located in the center of the closet. It has a corner cabinet for shoes and sweaters.
Between the two bedrooms is the main bathroom for the home. It has a single sink and a tub/shower combination also. Bedroom 2 has a large wall closet and is the normal-sized second bedroom. It has a large window that overlooks the covered porch and the front yard area.
The center unit is identical to the two outside units except it is reversed. If this were a triplex that was to be owner occupied, unit 1 is ideal as the owner's unit. It is on the outside with the bedrooms away from the unit next door.

Just a heads up really.
Hi all,

First off, Happy New Year one and all.
Secondly, this text input box doen't work well with IE9 or 10.
This pertains only to Scandinavians, but I know there are many hanging around here :type:
WHF reviewed the beast that is the Onkyo TX-NR3008 receiver some time back at an RRP of £1700.
I thought I had a fast connection with a measured download speed of 20Mbps on my dedicated fibre line.

Same Old Song (1997)
directed by
Alain Resnais
featuring Pierre Arditi, Sabine Azéma, Jean-Pierre Bacri, André Dussollier, Agnès Jaoui
In this homage to acclaimed TV scripter Dennis Potter (1935-1994), famed 75-year-old French director Alain Resnais (Hiroshima, Mon Amour, Last Year ... Show synopsis In this homage to acclaimed TV scripter Dennis Potter (1935-1994), famed 75-year-old French director Alain Resnais (Hiroshima, Mon Amour, Last Year at Marienbad) has actors lip-synch in a manner instantly recalling Potter's Pennies from Heaven (1978 TV serial, 1981 movie) and The Singing Detective (1986), regarded by some as the best original work ever created for television. Completing her history dissertation, Camille (Agnes Jaoui) is a Paris tour guide, and Simon (Andre Dussolier) is a regular on her tours because he's attracted to Camille -- although he claims to be researching his historical radio dramas. Camille's sister, business-executive Odile (Sabine Azema), is married to weak, furtive Claude (Pierre Arditi). In the past Odile was close to successful businessman Nicolas (Jean-Pierre Bacri), now married with kids and returning to Paris after an eight-year absence. Odile seeks an apartment from real estate agent Marc (Lambert Wilson). Camille and Marc begin an affair. Nicolas is also looking for an apartment, since he hopes to eventually have his family join him in Paris. These characters make easy transitions back and forth from the dialogue to 36 song fragments. The film's debt to Dennis Potter is acknowledged with a dedication in the opening credits. Bhob Stewart, Rovi

The glow of petal pink and glitter sparkle are faded under a Gaussian blur of dust and years. The petals' edges have browned and curled a bit like the pages of an old well-loved book. The green leaves on the three stems brag a youth their brittle stiffness can't defend.
We've been married nearly 16 years. But these are not the flowers from that day we joined together. Those are long gone, discarded in a move when I decided that our today was a fine testament to that yesterday.
Lament for a Memory
A lesson in internet debate from my 7-year-old
"WHY?" His voice was angry, his body taut. "Why are you taking it away for so long?"
I said nothing. Kept driving through the misty rained last-night streets towards school. Two of the three of my kids missed their school buses. One of them forgot a band instrument. I was still in gym clothes, though I hadn't worked out yet. The day was screwed from the start.
"Where is it?"
He huffed. "In my backpack but…"
"Take it out and put it here." I pointed to the table between the front seats of the van.
"Nooooooo!" More huffing and angry shifting from the boy in the back seat.
I sighed. This was going to be a long ride.
"Please. Give me another chance. I only missed the bus once. Why haven't you ever taken my brother's iPods when he misses the bus? Why?"
"Put the iPod here." I pointed again.
Round and round he went. Repeating himself louder and more urgent each time. Demanding answers, a shortened consequence, mercy.
I just drove, silent. And I thought to myself, "why aren't you answering? Articulate it."
…"he doesn't want to know why. He wants to debate me."
This happens online and in person all the time. Someone asks you a question, not to understand, but to argue. They are looking for weaknesses and misspoken words to exploit.
I am trying to make a personal rule not to argue with or debate my child. He needs to grasp that some things are nonnegotiable.
Most of the time with him, he demands that I answer to him for my decisions. He demands answers because he is trying to find a hole to exploit.
This is why I rarely argue a woman's place in church anymore. It's why many won't respond to questions about race or gender or sexuality. The way you ask if, or the timing of when you ask it, tells them you aren't listening. Your mind is made up and you want a fight.
Next time someone doesn't respond well to your question, ask yourself, "Am I asking to learn and understand? Or am I asking to argue and debate?" If the latter, don't act so surprised when others shut you down. Drop it. Walk (or click) away. Come back when you are ready to listen and learn.

Our signature wines are the Esprit de Tablas (formerly Esprit de Beaucastel), based on Mourvèdre, and the Esprit de Tablas Blanc (formerly Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc), based on Roussanne. These wines are rich, balanced, and ageable, and should reward time in bottle to mature.
Curious about the name change from Esprit de Beaucastel to Esprit de Tablas? Read our blog post that explains.
On December 6th, all VINsiders are invited to join Tablas Creek's owners and winemakers for our 10th annual En Primeur Tasting and Futures Offering. Taste the 2013 Esprit de Tablas and 2013 Panoplie, discuss the vintage, and enjoy a seasonal dish created to pair with the wines. The $30 cost to attend the event is refundable on any en primeur purchase. Register for one of two sessions (10:30am or 1:30pm) More information »
This holiday season, choose from 5 gift packages, all with shipping included in a gift box. We even have an epicurean pack including our organic estate olive oil that we can ship to all 50 states! Details & more gift ideas »
We were thrilled to receive such good reviews from this notoriously tough grader, including the 2012 Esprit de Tablas Blanc (92 points; "impeccably refined"), 2011 Panoplie (94 points; "pure elegance"), 2012 Patelin de Tablas (90 points; "a gorgeous wine and a fabulous value"), and the 2012 Esprit de Tablas (93-95 points; "a fascinating Esprit to follow over the coming years").

The celebratory nature of the meal suggests that several bottles of wine will be consumed...to get a sense of some of the different options out there, I asked several members of the Tablas Creek team to share what they're pairing with their Thanksgiving feasts this year (whether Tablas Creek or otherwise) Read More »

Kitchen Superpowers - have one?
- operagirl Nov 20, 2008 11:21 AM
They call me the Tupperware Guru. No matter how much of something is left over after dinner, I can gauge exactly which tupperware will just barely hold all of it. Every time.
LOL! operagirl, i think you & i may share some DNA - i have the same superpower. when i was staying with my folks earlier this year, every time mom took out a container for the leftovers, i would always put it back & take out another one that would turn out to be the perfect size. eventually she gave up trying and just left it to me to take care of the leftovers.
my other superpower would have to be loading the dishwasher...i can fit more stuff in there than even the manufacturer ever thought possible...and it all comes out clean.
re: goodhealthgourmet
Hello, my long-lost Twin!
My job was always the food storage person and the dishwasher stacker, from the time I was about 9-10yo. Mom would tell guests "oh don't bother - Linda will get more in that dishwasher than anyone can even imagine - just let her do it. If you attempt to help, she'll just pull it out and re-stack it HER way." I guess a bit of OCD-ness coming out in me. :-)
Operagirl - I'm much the same, but my tupperware superpowers are in collecting it! I can't ever have enough - all different shapes, sizes, uses, compartments, etc. Some with rubber snap lids, some with plastic screw lids...you get the idea. The round plastic containers that soup from Chinese takeout comes in - those are my favorite as of late.
Other superpowers? Hmm, well I'm pretty good at cleaning up pots & pans while I'm still cooking and baking. I can't stand a cluttered counter, dirty dishes and stuff everywhere when I'm in a culinary frenzy!
It'd have to be timing, without any sort of conscious plan. Since T-day is coming, and the usual freaking out of various family members over "will everything be ready at once?", this has been on my mind. I just always seem to get everything ready at the same time, even on the big day. I think making a list of things-to-do-and-when-to-do-them would just stress me.
Now if I could just be invisible on those over-the-top feast days!
I have an incredible talent for kitchen timing. If dinner is at 7, everything will be ready at 7:00. If Dh is cooking and dinner is scheduled for 7, it will be most likely 7:30-7:45 and some items will be waiting on others.
re: susan1353
Me too! Or if I don''t set a timer I get to whateverit is just before it's over cooked, about to boil over etc.
re: susan1353
Me too Susan. I always get to the timer right before it rings.

Superpower 1. Flip 6 corn tortillas (and just about anything else) in a pan all at once with all coming down in the pan perfectly distributed.
Superpower 2. Juggle Jello
Superpower 3: Make all the alcohol in the house disappear.
NB (a): superpower 1 and 2 cannot be employed after superpower 3.
NB (b): I lied about superpower 2.
re: Sam Fujisaka
LOL is used rather cavalierly on this board. But this time, I really did.
re: JoanN
Sam is da man! operagirl what a fun idea for a thread! All the comments are delightful to read. I make lots of cookies at Chrismas and even with the insulated pans I use I would always burn two pans full and have to toss them. I figured out my problem was using the oven timer. I'd get involved on the intrazweb or something and just not hear the timer. So I had to develop super powers to save mah cookies! First I learned to just use my nose and smell when the cookies were almost done, guess my sense of smell is better developed than my hearing, but like some of the other posters I soon just got up from my pc at some random time and the cookies would be about ready to come out. And my oven is one that just keeps getting hotter and hotter as I bake so the times really are random. Haven't burnt any cookies in a few years! All the best cooks use intuition I betcha.
I used to do that! And now I have made all of my Tupperware disappear by using Zip Lock bags. And I ALWAYS know exactly which size to use! And now I don't have to worry about some idiot putting the Tupperware in the bottom rack of the dishwasher and melting it so the house stinks every time the dishwasher runs for the next two years! I have a true superpower! '-)
re: Caroline1
i have never had tupperware melt in the bottom rack of the DW........what gives?
btw, i was a ziploc fan, soups could be bagged and flat stacked to infinity in the freezer. but the willies now have me in the glass zone, taking up more room.
re: im_nomad
Housekeepers would put small pieces -- lids, custard cup sizes -- in the bottom (and probably top as well) rack unanchored and the water pressure would wash them out of the racks and onto the heating element. I had no problem finding "house friendly" housekeepers in El Paso. Dallas is a whole different story. Every once in a while my 3 year old dishwasher emits terrible odors from the styrofoam cup one brilliant housekeeper decided to load. Did you know the heat of a dishwasher can "deconstruct" a styrofoam cup into wee little styrofoam pellets that lurk in the innards of a machine for years, and when they finally come out, you have to pluck them from the drain filter with tweezers? Things I NEVER wanted to know about dishwashers!
But I've also had Tupperware partially melt from someone placing it in the bottom rackdirectly over the heat element. It smells bad but it also deforms enough that the lad and contaiiner no longer mesh. So I've dumped all Tupperware.
re: Caroline1
My Uncle that runs his company, tells me there is a huge difference between construction equipment Operators (highly skilled) and Drivers (zero intelligence).
My Aunt says there is a huge difference between Housekeepers and Housewreckers.
Both say that the latter of each can destroy more property than what they can earn. For many years now, careful screening prevents bankruptcy.
I have a super sniffer! I can smell that foods are done a few seconds before the timer, or even when the timer is completely wrong. Cookies, roasts, veggies, anything. Including hot sugar for hard candies.
I also can open any jar you give me, despite petite hands. I am just that stubborn.
re: emmaroseeats
Please come see me. I have a jar for you. Just about a year ago I actually tore a tendon in my wrist trying to open a jar of roasted peppers to decorate a paella for a party that evening. Adrenaline got me through the party, but I was in a brace for nearly a month afterwards. Talk about stubborn, I've still got the damned jar. It's going to get opened one of these days. Just not by me.
re: emmaroseeats
emmaroseeats - did you ever see the episode of "Will & Grace" where he asks her to sniff the milk carton & she tells him it has 12 hours left? my roommate at the time looked at me and sai, "wow, that's totally you!"
i've always said i think i'm part bloodhound ;)
it comes in very handy in terms of palate sensitivity & wine tasting, and as an early warning system [i.e. for things that are about to burn or spoil], but the drawback is that the faint, funky/bad odors that others don't even notice are totally obvious and offensive to me.
re: goodhealthgourmet
My superpower is to throw away all milk if I smell it. I always think milk smells sour. I have magically thrown away too much money. I even threw away two quarts - in a row - that were bought that day from the market and still had a week on them apparently.
re: TampaAurora
I've learned that sometimes smelling the milk isn't enough - often the milk itself is fine, but there is a little bit caked around the lid/opening that smells bad. So, much as I HATE the taste of bad milk, I taste a little with a spoon. That said, I've recently stopped buying milk from one local market because it's often bad way before its sell by date - I think it must be some issue with their refrigeration.
re: MMRuth
You and my SO are on the same wavelength. My family rehashed the many times I poured milk down the sink and this is what my husband came back with. Finally, a curveball in the story.
re: emmaroseeats
Oh, thats my Superpower, too! I know from my nose when a cake is baked, when a roast is done, when a roux is ready and when something is too far gone to save. But it only works on stove top and oven-cooked food,,,my superpower is useless against the kryptonite of the micro-wave oven.
re: LJS
I also have a "super nose." I think a lot of good cooks do. In addition to when food is done, I can also smell a skunk from a country mile, even though I'm in the house. No one else in the family can do that. They only smell it when the damned thing gets in the yard! I can smell when things are done in the microwave, as well as other cooking methods. Handy!
Emma, I envy your ability to open jars! I have to fight hard, and even then, I may lose or give up and ask the housekeeper to open it. Well, wait a minute. Isn't that a win too? It gets the damned jar open!.
re: Caroline1
So interesting to think of a good nose as being part of what makes me a good cook...
One of my jar techniques is using the large size rubber bands from the broccoli and other veggies at the store. Just wrap around the side of the lid and twist off. Plus there's the good ol' bang on the counter trick.
I cannot judge the tupperware based on the leftovers. I can't keep a clean kitchen while baking/cooking. I cut myself almost every time I'm in the kitchen; most of the time when not even using a knife or any sharp implement (who knew aluminum foil could almost slice your thumb off?). I tend to forget that I just had that pan in a 400 degree oven (you should see the burns on my stomach from trying to reach in the cabinet above the stove). But boy can I cook!
Would that make me the arch nemisis to your kitchen superpowers?
re: krisrishere
""Would that make me the arch nemisis to your kitchen superpowers?""
Hey, maybe we can start our own club. Kitchen Mishaps & Disasters Anonymous. Are you willing to hand out annual survivor pins? :-p
re: RShea78
Absolutely! The pins can be a bandaged hand :)
re: krisrishere
That sounds a lot like me! No stomach burns though, fortunately. I have good timing in that even if I leave the timer in the kitchen and go off to another room, I always return to the kitchen a minute before the timer is set to go off. However, I also generally know what time it is though I never wear a watch etc., so I don't think it's a particular kitchen superpower, though it is useful.
re: MMRuth
Oh - I did however once slightly burn a breast, by leaning over the breakfast table to reach for something and 'landing' in my cup of tea. That was, um, painful.
re: MMRuth
Oh. My. Goodness. I can't even imagine what that felt like..and I never want to
re: MMRuth
M, it absolutely does sound painful, but this irreverent mind of mine is pushing the question: Were you having breakfast in the nude? '-)
re: Caroline1
No, fortunately for me I had pyjamas on - it really wasn't that bad in terms of pain, just terribly embarrassing!
re: MMRuth
No need to be embarrassed. Just think of all the super-flat chested women who envy the experience! :-)
re: MMRuth
I can't help but thinking Mrs. Doubtfire and the setting of the fake breast on fire scene.
re: krisrishere
You're just like me. Last Thanksgiving, I burnt fingers on both hands and made a large gash in one thumb, all due to three different incidents.. I had to sit on the sidelines after the last one.
I seem to do the "forgetting the cookware has just come out of the oven" routine every time I braise something in a pot. I take out the pot, place it on the counter, and a few minutes later I will reach for the lid expecting the handle to be 72 degrees. Not sure what's wrong with me. I'm in school right now, and people often ask me why I'm not in culinary school to be a chef. I tell 'em that with my propensity for burns and cuts, as a chef I'd probably lose all of my fingers within months.
re: Agent Orange
I'm too accident prone to do anything more than a desk job even though I would love to cook. Funny enough, I actually work as an office manager in a kitchen with no accidents to speak of....yet (knocking on wood). I guess it's part of the curse of being a left-handed redhead :)
re: kirinraj
As a high school teacher my favorite line in a song is found in Paul Simon's "Kodachrome", "If I think back to all the crap I learned in high school, it's a wonder I can think at all."
I can take a fridge, that my says has nothing good to eat in it an whip up, Presto Zamo, a gourmet meal. Take a hike in the woods or a walk on the beach (armed or not) and return w/ a feast for two.
re: Raivyn
""And I have an odd ability to create some of the cutest pastries. (Like my Halloween spider cupcakes) :)""
OMG! Several years ago, I found some extra heavy aluminum craft cooking blanks that I could form (using a small trimmed piece of wood) into small coffin shapes. All of this was intending to make "Coffin Cakes" from yellow cake mix. They were a hit after my assistant came up with some white sugar floss to be used as cob webs.
re: Raivyn
"A resistance to heat..? I can handle hot pans/dishes with my bare hands without a problem. "
i totally freaked out my T-giving hostess last night. i was helping her in the kitchen so we could get dinner on the table, and i pulled a pan of brussels sprouts out of the oven with my bare hands...it hadn't been in for *that* long :) i told her that if you spend enough time cooking and/or baking, you develop asbestos hands.
re: goodhealthgourmet
When my daughter was an early teen, she was standing next to me when I took some hard boiled eggs out of boiling water and put them in a bowl to carry to the sink/ice maker. She immediately picked one up with her bare hands and began peeling it. When I said to her, "Christie, you'll burn yourself!" she just cupped it in both hands and said, "But it's not hot, Mom." I expected her to develop burns, but she didn't!
re: goodhealthgourmet
I was a bit bashful concerning my "" extreme sensitivity to heat" (or?) - problem.
Oh, I can stand the heat of the kitchen, no problem. My hands however, is another story... Hot (or?) foods leave my kitchen at such high velocity, I pity the poor soul in the path of the flying food or the pan.
Now comes the ability to toss a 7" skillet and have it stick in the wall! Perhaps it is a pinched nerve problem???
re: sunangelmb
I can burn any white rice I make. Even in a rice cooker.

re: Cachetes
You and my Hub! I never have to worry about post-holiday fridge chess, since he pushes up his sleeves, does a little jazz-hands "Show Time" and all the leftovers are packed in tighter than a winning Tetris game! Truly a wonderful superpower!

I can turn any left-overs into a new meal that the kids will eat, (well most of the time)
They call me the left-overs king..
re: Cachetes
That's my super-power, too! I credit it to a lot of Tetris playing. I can always make everything fit in the fridge.
re: manraysky
Yes! Who knew that what I thought were wasted hours playing that game would end up helping me in the kitchen?!?!.
re: spifferooney
Super-human control over the presence or absence of matter:
My wife disappears everytime I start to cook!
She can't stand the mess I make...even though it's spotless when I'm all done. The intermediate mess makes her head explode.
My superpower comes from having three kids. No matter how many glasses of juice, milk, etc I pour and how casually I do it, they will all have exactly the same amount of liquid in the cup (even as judged by thirsty kids who all want the cup with the most , and are using their superpowers of unfairness detection)

Members of a northeast Saskatchewan Indian band are taking their fight to be recognized as a First Nation to court.
John Dorion, on behalf of the John Cochrane Band, filed a statement of claim in Saskatoon Court of Queen's Bench alleging Chief Perry Bellegarde, acting as executive authority for the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN), has improperly blocked the band's membership claim.
In September 2009, the claim says, the federation's joint executive council and Indian Government Commission unanimously approved the John Cochrane Band's request to join the FSIN. However, at the fall assembly in October 2009, the resolution ratifying membership was "improperly" removed from the agenda, the claim says.
"We met the criteria, but since then, the FSIN continues to refuse to sign the paperwork to complete the lawful agreement with us regarding our lawful membership in the federation," Dorion said in an interview.
The item was removed from the agenda through a motion by Chief Lorne Stewart of Cumberland House Cree Nation, who has a "direct conflict of interest" in the matter, the claim states.
Allegations contained in a statement of claim have not been proven in court. Stewart did not respond to a request for comment.
The John Cochrane Band, also known as the Kaministikominahiko-skak Cree Nation, has been fighting for years for recognition. Its members say they historically claimed and occupied Cumberland Island, which became the home of Cumberland House Cree Nation in the 1960s after "a forced amalgamation of five groups of Cree Nation peoples living in the Cumberland areas," according to the claim.
In the past, ratifying membership applications at the assembly has been a formality once they receive vetting and approval by the Indian Government Commission, the claim says.
The process of membership approval used for the John Cochrane Band is "deliberately and maliciously discriminatory," the claim says.
Recognition as a First Nation would carry substantial financial allocations in the form of gaming revenues from the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority and legal advocacy funds available through FSIN. The band is claiming $2.5 million in lost gaming revenues since 2009 and $500,000 in legal advocacy funds.
The band is also asking for damages for "lost opportunity" in land and resource negotiations, social programs and other benefits, totalling $2 million plus interest from October 2009.
Bellegarde declined to comment on a matter before the courts.

Great location/Lots of space
We stayed here with our two daughters 19 and 21 for 5 nights May 2005. These were the last 5 nights of an eighteen night vacation. It was wonderful to have the 2 full bedrooms, kitchen , livingroom and the quaint "sunroom/diningroom". Although the hallway carpets were a little dirty everything else was spotless. we found the staff extremly friendly and helpful with our questions and requests.
I do suggest requesting a high floor if city noise bothers you. We were on the 12th floor. The hotel was very secure as well as the parking.
My daughter felt the gym was too hot and pretty sparse but there is a gym.
Breakfast was good but all carbs.
The downtown location is a couple blocks from:Robson, couple blocks to water, close to Granville Island, we even walked to part of Stanley Park.
We had a NW view which enabled us to see city and mountains.
The Best - Absolutely Wonderful!!!!
My husband and I stayed at the Landis Hotel from early December 2004 until beginning of February 2005. We usually go to Arizona for that time, but due to an illness, my husband had to stay in Canada this year. We were so fortunate to find the Landis Hotel for our prolonged stay as we had a beautifu suite on the 15th floor with a gorgeous view of the city and of False Creek. This was a two bedroom suite so we could accommodate our children and grandchildren periodically, as we can only see them occasionally. The daily service of the housekeeping staff was the best and our housekeeper always went out of her way to meet our needs (which she did not need to do). Our suite was meticulously clean and new towels and any supplies that we requested were provided daily.
The daily breakfast was available from 6:30 am to 10:00 am to accommodate the early risers and also the sleepy-heads. The pool and the excercise facilities were always very clean and plenty of nice, big fluffy towels were available.
The management and staff at the Landis became like family to us. They were always very professional and polite. I was sad when our time came to an end and we had to return home. We will definitely stay at the Landis Hotel again and have recommended to many of our friends. We could not have asked for a better experience for our winter holiday. Cheers to the Landis!!! Looking forward to seeing you soon. Jan
Great value for your money !!!!
I have been on the road for work for the past 16 months, and 6 months of that time has been spent on and off in Vancouver. I think I was VERY lucky to find the Landis. Eating, watching TV etc from the end of the bed or a chair gets pretty boring after a while. This is where the Landis changes that, two bedrooms, kitchen, livingroon, eating area, 3 TV's, and a great rate. You can cook or go out, free continental breakfast everyday, takes the "hotel" out of on the road hotel living. The rooms are clean and serviced daily, staff have been very helpfull and accommodating, and always been very friendly during my stays. I have recommended the Landis to others from my company who in turn have also stayed at the Landis. They all enjoyed themselves, and like the suites so they continue to stay at the Landis when in Vancouver.
Due to my extensive treavel I am entitled to the best rooms with all the "perks" in numerous of the BIG NAME Hotel chains, but when in Vancouver, I my opinion, they can't even compete with the Landis and what it has to offer. Too bad they weren't a chain and had hotels throughout Canada & USA, it would make my stays in other cities more enjoyable.
Best Value for a Goodnight Stay
We stayed at the Landis Hotel for a week during the week of the Sun Run. With our experience travelling a lot to different places in the US, Canada and Europe, I should say this hotel has the best value for the rooms they have -generous size. The suite we stayed was even too big for my partner & I. We felt like walking in your own home. This hotel would also suit families with children. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends, family & collegues who are planning to visit Vancouver, BC this year.
Never again
I have been staying at the Landis for about seven years and have seen the property decline from a clean and well kept property to a slipshod and dirty facility with a staff who becomes immediately defensive and sometimes threatening.
When we arrived on a Friday evening, they did not have the reservation that I had confirmed on two occasions. They then assigned us to another room, but when we went up to the room, it was already occupied by other guests. When we returned to the front desk, they "upgraded" us to the penthouse, but it was obvious that they had no other available rooms and the penthouse was unoccupied.
Although the penthouse offers great views of the city, it was dirty and and unprepared for guests. Used chewing gum had been left on a lamp stand, one of the bathrooms had no soap or towels, old and moldy pizza had been left in the unclean oven, there was a used condom wrapper under the bed, and the carpet was un-clean. The outside terraces had trash left on them, including broken glass.
The list goes on, and I regret that I will no longer be able to stay there, since over the years I had enjoy the location of the hotel and the spacious rooms.
Caveat emptor! This property is in decline and is currently poorly managed by a staff who becomes defensive, hostilely so.

I have just returned fom Vancouver today and I would advise anyone to stay at the landis. Very nice very clean suites lots of room for 4 adults.
excelent breakfast, nice staff and Managers.
give it a go.
4 very happy people , lancashire England.
Had a fantastic stay here!
I must say, this was the best value for me and my group of friends that I could find. Nine of us stayed in two rooms on the 11th floor, in one deluxe and one executive suite, each with two bedrooms.
The rooms are very nice-looking, clean, comfortable, and spacious with a great view of the city (minus the empty lot next door!). It was perfect for that many people because we could all hang out in the deluxe suite and there was plenty of room.
In particular, the staff were very friendly, helpful, and empathetic. I had left an important gift bag in a room the next morning with irreplaceable family photographs and I was worried that it had been thought of as trash. Later on that day, the man at the front desk went out of his way to check each cupboard, drawer, and closet in each room for me and assured me everything possible would be done to locate the missing bag after it didn't turn up. Luckily it had been found by housekeeping earlier but the front desk employee made sure everyone knew who I was so that when I kept calling back, they all knew the situation.
The only downside to my stay was that it went by so fast! I wanted to stay longer as I missed the breakfast and didn't get to check out the pool or fitness room.
A little frayed, but overall OK
I rated this hotel neutral, but it is somewhere above that, but not quite "above average", if you know what I mean! We have stayed at the Landis Suites twice in the last year. The rooms are a great size, with two bedrooms which are well separated, a living room and kitchen. Some rooms are better than others as far as noise goes (higher up is better)The central location is a real plus. The decor needs an update- the last time we were there the drapes in our room were frayed and the carpet had some spots. The dishes and glassware in the kitchen were mismatched and the pots looked like someone's old camping set! The rooms are clean and for the price, it's a reasonably good value, particularly for someone travelling with kids. There was a continental breakfast included with the room both times we stayed and this was a plus. We intend to stay here again, but hope they will address the needed cosmetic updates in the rooms.
Landis Hotel
Super size two bedroom suite with easy access by free shuttle to all downtown locations. Unfortunately not double glazed and in a very noisy part of the city. Super floor to ceiling windows which did not help the noise but overall a very nice hotel with super friendly staff.
Awesome Family Getaway....
Our family has stayed at the Landis Suite Hotel a few times in the last year. Each has been enjoyable, staff are helpful. Can walk to many attractions, free shuttle available (only runs till 5pm, a little early to shut down). The teenagers like the workout room, sharing it with the hotel next door can be confusing. On our first stay, my daughter and a friend were trapped in an elevator for half an hour, they had accidentally entered the wrong hotel..... They consider it a "sweet adventure"....

November 28, 2014
An early evening fire Sunday in the Virginia foothills area of south Reno damaged most of a house and killed a pet.
Sadly, fire officials say this blaze explains may have been easily prevented.
Firefighters responded a little after 5 o'clock when the resident noticed a small fire outside her kitchen window.
Neighbors say it didn't take long for that small blaze to spread quickly into the home.
"There was an extreme amount of smoke blowing into our house, one neighbor said. "So, I run up the street and saw the flames starting to emerge from her garage. And that was prior to the time the fire department was just arriving."
Fire officials say the fire began in the backyard near hay and other dry materials.
Fire marshal Bill Burney said it was a screened area for a rabbit that had a heat lamp plugged inside, an extension cord that went inside the house. " With the wind conditions that we had, we had fire, smoke that ascended into the garage," Burney added
"The wind just created terrible flames from the garage, you could hear explosions inside. At one time the flames were much higher than the house."
But, fire officials say with the strong wind conditions in the area, extra precautions need to be taken.

Leonard Cohen - Winter Lady Lyrics
Leonard Cohen – Winter Lady Lyrics
Trav'ling lady, stay awhile
until the night is over.
I'm just a station on your way,
I know I'm not your lover.
Well I lived with a child of snow
when I was a soldier,
and I fought every man for her
until the nights grew colder.
She used to wear her hair like you
except when she was sleeping,
and then she'd weave it on a loom
of smoke and gold and breathing.
And why are you so quiet now
standing there in the doorway?
You chose your journey long before
you came upon this highway.
Trav'ling lady stay awhile
until the night is over.
I'm just a station on your way,
I know I'm not your lover.

Here at Untapped Cities, we've written about many unique architectural conversions in New York City, from churches to psychiatric asylums to synagogues. But today, we're showing you the transformation of homes from mansions to tenement houses.
The reason behind Cartier's chosen flagship store is a popular one. Cartier itself produced a documentary on the "worst trade ever." While told with varying levels of detail and perhaps, exaggeration, the store is also known as the "House that Pearls Bought."
Here's what the Untapped staff is reading in the HQ today!
I don't know very much about the finer points of aging gracefully, but am pretty sure it involves limited color palettes and houndstooth. At least, that's what the chic older ladies of New York have led me to believe. The Upper East Side isn't one of my usual haunts, but any self-respecting people-watcher knows that every once in a while you have to visit unfamiliar places to refresh your eyes and see what life looks like with a view of the East River. Also, a lot of museums are up there, which was the reason for my sojourn into that part of town. (There's an Egon Schiele exhibit at the Neue Galerie right now.)
While you probably maintain a black and white image of dirty young intellectuals huddled around a table in a dark room building a device for destruction, anarchy in 20th century New York developed as a social, political, and humanitarian movement in reaction to the ideologies of oppressive governments at the time. However, the movement quickly became violent, and its legacy today holds negative connotation. Its conspirators didn't just gather in grimy tenements on the East Side of Manhattan. Members of anarchist groups met anywhere from the Upper East Side to East Williamsburg, targeting influential New Yorkers as important as John D. Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan and left their mark on places from Wall Street to Union Square.

Imagine this: You walk out of Port Authority after a long bus trip, and need to find your best friend's apartment at 383 Madison Avenue. As you take your phone out of your pocket, a commuter with no patience for dawdlers rushes past you, bumping your arm, causing your phone to fall and smash into smithereens on the sidewalk. So what do you do? Luckily, there's a mathematical formula that will help you estimate the cross street of any address in Manhattan, and all it requires is a bit of mental math.
It has been a little over 12 months since Banksy's NYC residency came to an end last Halloween with his final act of vandalism: his name in big, shiny, silver bubble letters (quite literally) hanging from a wall in Queens, two months before the infamous white-washing of 5Pointz. The bubble letters were taken by the NYPD, who took them from two amateur thieves (who could have taken a lesson or two from Thomas Crown). Shouts from a crowd of onlookers were first aimed at the thieves and later, to the police; some of them (including Brooklyn Street Art's Jamie Rojo) were arrested. The entire maddening scene was recorded on video and put on YouTube, Instagram, Vine etc. It was an outlandish ending to one of the most bizarre and polarizing art events to ever happen in NYC.
What Banksy personally accomplished with his Better Out Than In project is unknown to us (or anyone who isn't Banksy. But the artist, whose message is as illusory as his identity, may not have anticipated the fury of the social media firestorm, so much so that someone would want to document the madness and have it shown on HBO.

Have ideas for the future development of Turlock's downtown? Then be sure to pencil in Thursday's community workshop meeting put on by the City's planning department as they consider taller buildings in downtown for residential purposes.
The Turlock City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday evening to approve naming an existing walkway to recognize the city's Indian-American population and their contributions to the local community.
Monte Vista Avenue, one of the city's most complained-about thoroughfares, is finally undergoing a full rehabilitation process that will see the currently deteriorated road conditions spring back to life.
After several months of searching for the perfect candidate, the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors appointed Stan Risen as the new chief executive officer on Friday.
Turlock's Centennial Park might soon be the newest hangout place for local dog lovers, as the Turlock Parks and Recreation Commission voted to recommend the construction of a new dog park at the facility.
As the season of giving quickly approaches, one city councilman has challenged community members to give back by helping Turlock's homeless population.
The life and legacy of President John F. Kennedy will be honored in the City of Turlock, as Mayor John Lazar proclaimed Nov. 22 as a day to remember the president, with this year marking the 50th anniversary of his death.
The City of Turlock will soon closely examine how mobile food facilities fit into the downtown area, following a heated discussion at Tuesday's City Council meeting that left city officials saying they had failed local entrepreneurs.
It is no secret that mobile food vendors are becoming increasingly popular throughout the state. Many famous gourmet chefs have even joined the trend, opening their own food trucks in large cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. But one question has lately been on the mind of local business owners and city officials: will the City of Turlock allow these mobile food vendors in the downtown core district?
The Parks and Recreation Commission will consider renaming Turlock's Centennial Park to "Swanson Centennial Park," following a sizable donation from the Swanson family.
A new private preschool will soon open in Turlock, as the city's planning commission approved the school's operation on Thursday evening.
Cornerstone Covenant Church may soon become filled with crayons, brightly colored backpacks and finger paints as the Turlock Planning Commission will decide whether or not to allow a new private preschool to operate there.
A Ceres sanctuary filled with Latino parishioners and social activists thundered with applause Sunday at the introduction of Rep. Jeff Denham. They came to St. Jude's Catholic Church to thank him for being the first Republican member of the House of Representatives to support immigration reform in H.R. 15, and to ask what they can do to win passage of the landmark legislation.
A $6.4 million grant from the California Employment Development Department will be used to retrain 1,187 jobless migrant and seasonal farm workers statewide for new careers in the allied health field, industrial maintenance, retail trade/service, and the green and renewable energy sector.
In an effort to help protect the region's diminishing groundwater, the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors approved new groundwater mining and exportation regulations on Tuesday morning that will help end the over drafting of the precious resource.
The Turlock City Council approved the nearly quarter million dollar Turlock Convention and Visitors Bureau budget on Tuesday amidst questions about why the organization, tasked with bringing tourists to town, needs so much money.
As towns expand and evolve so do the rules that guide development.
The Turlock Parks, Arts, and Recreation Commission approved a reaffirmation of a smoking ban dating back from 2003 Tuesday night in a 6-2 vote, with one new caveat: electronic and vapor related products will now be prohibited as well, pending the approval of the City Council.
After the Turlock Planning Commission received what Commissioner Mike Brem called a "very polite, legal tongue lashing" at his final Planning Commission meeting ending his 15 year tenure, the commission approved an amendment to the East Tuolumne Master Plan in a 6-1 vote on Thursday.

Vid Show Reviews
These are my Escapade vid show review notes, dictated last week using voice recognition software. The notes are very sketchy. Names and song titles are probably rife with errors. Remember, I am only reporting on what I think I heard (on a Sunday, at the end of a long convention. I do not necessarily agree with all of the points below.
Escapade 2007 Vid review:
1. Video show theme? Loneliness and alienation. Some of these themes are inherent within the TV shows (La Femme Nikita), some go against the show's grain (Starsky & and Hutch).
Eleanor Rigby/Dr. Who video = bipolar video for a bipolar universe. The concept of alienation worked perfectly with this specific song choice "All the lonely people/Where where do they all come from?"
Only one video offered a happy ending = Big Eden movie video by gwyneth. There was enough connection between the lyrics and the action in the vid to follow and understand the movie plot. One person commented that she loved the less explicit fade up to the stars after the two male characters kiss. It felt very romantic and in keeping with the overall tone of the video.
Most vids were made for fans familiar with the source (as opposed to recruiter vids that required no exposure to the TV shows). One example of the video that did not require any knowledge of the source was melina123's "You're so damned hot" (Torchwood/Dr Who)
Many videos needed the big screen to be effective - Change/Smallville for example needed the big screen to fully appreciate. In contrast, two people commented that sisabet's "Turn you inside out" Supernatural video (a video that they both adored) did not seem to work as well on the big-screen. "Turn The Fire Up To The Third Bar" (Torchwood/sol se) had problems since its source was fuzzy and it did not play well on the big screen. However, that was somewhat mitigated by the vidder's use of soft focus and blurring effects (which -in some people's opinions -- helped illustrate Ianto's isolation and disconnectedness).
2. Second video show theme? Retro-classic editing style versus modern.
Big Eden (movie), Chasing Cars/Kryptonite (Starsky and Hutch), and Pilgrim Soul (movie, 13th warrior) all had both classical structure as well as classical feel (longer clips, more emphasis on facial expressions, and a sometimes exaggerated emphasis on emotional connections). Some commented that this style created a sense of nostalgia in them.
Examples of more modern videos = Eleanor Rigby (Dr. Who) and Change (Smallville). Not only faster edits, but also a more complicated narrative structure and strong use of color. For some people coming unfamiliar/cold into a fandom, the old/retro style was more appealing. However, consensus was that a video show needs to offer more than just "recruiter" videos and many enjoyed the more source dependent videos as challenging/satisfying.
3. Comedy? There was some disagreement as to whether "He's So Damn Hot" (Torchwood) was a comedy vid. Some people believed that because the main character (Ianto) was on the "outside looking in" with unrequited lusting after Captain Jack, that this was not a comedy video. More consensus = Dualbunny's Spike//Angel video "They can't take that away from me" = comedy vid. One person noted that the video worked comedically perfectly upon first viewing, but the punchline lessened upon repeated viewing. Another person pointed out that this is typical of most comedy videos.
4. Song choice
Miracles video = song choice worked well to establish the hip longing tone for the show. Excellent recruiter vid.
Supernatural videos = God Says/Turn You Inside Out/Invisible Hands/See That My Grave = all of these videos had excellent musical choice. One person noted that interestingly none of the videos featured music that was similar to the music played on the show/music that is integral to the show's plots (aka the songs were very different from the TV show's musical palette). However, the musical choices fit both the darkness and intensity of the characters. Someone else commented about the overuse of one image "the burning woman on the ceiling". This image needs to be more cautiously selected and even more carefully placed to match emotional intensity of both music and lyrics.And then I started to drift… [9]

Has anyone found a clone recipe for this yet? I've googled and can't find anything. Wouldn't know where to begin to attempt a recipe on my own.http://www.iron-horse-brewery.com/
Did you ever find a recipe?
i know someone found this recipe , but i think its for the original barleywine version made by quilter when he worked at sierra nevadahttp://www.bubbleheadbrewing.com/ind...r=coreys&id=81
not sure how similiar it is to what it is now
Brindle Bear Brewing
I brewed up an imperial sweet stout that was an attempt to clone Irish Death, and came damn close. Even a bit green, it's frickin awesome, and so, so close to the Iron Horse brew (not the original barleywine).
Heres what I got:
6lbs Pale Malt (US 2-row)
2lbs Munich 10L
1lb Flaked Barley
8oz Flaked Oats
4oz Roasted Barley
4oz Carafa 2 Special
2lbs 8oz Light DME (added after boil)
6oz Fat Free Cocoa Powder (added to boil @ 10 minutes)
6oz Lactose (added to boil @ 10 minutes)
9AAU Fuggles @ 60 minutes
3AAU Styrian Goldings @ 60 minutes
Mashed at 156 degrees with a single step infusion
Double batch sparged, boiled down to a 5 gallon batch
Fermented on White Labs WLP002 English Ale yeast @ 68 degrees
I left it in the primary for 4 weeks, then bottled.
Anyways, enjoy!
are we talking straight unsweetend cocoa?
Thats what i used. I'm going to try cocoa nibs next time, with maybe some really dark chocolate.
FWIW, side by side, my clone and the original irish death, are very similar, but there are slight differences between them. They look and smell identical, but the original has more chocolate flavor, while mine has faint hints of mildly roasted coffee (underneath the chocolate). The SWMBO prefered mine in a blind taste test, too! woot!

Kim Kardashian "Bound 2" Video GIFs: Going Topless, Straddling Kanyeby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have the Internet buzzing once again.
A few months after welcoming North West into the world and a few weeks after getting engaged inside AT&T Park in San Francisco, the betrothed couple stars in the rapper's new Bound 2 music video.
They mostly ride a motorcycle and simulate sex while a topless Kim straddles Kanye. Standard fare, really.
And now you can relive this magical video in all its GIF-tastic glory.
Scroll down for action shots of Kim's hair blowing in the wind... Kim half naked and writhing on her man... and Kimye seeming to take to the air in their motorcycle.
Is he riding a hobby horse bike at the supermarket? This is beyond bad
Quite the ho too bad whole family are hos I'm thinking mama also
so kante is 'Pimp' nowaday's?
Why are people making this music video a big deal. It's just a fucking music video. Start writing about real gossip and not dumb shit.
They are both not attractive in the least. I really don't want to see them making out, I'll skip the video, please. I give her a 6 and him a 4.
Yeah I bet you're a real 10... get a fucking life.
HAHA really though, and I agree about the stupid music video

Annual Thanksgiving Assistance Program
The Armed Services YMCA of Hampton Roads has an extensive Thanksgiving assistance program that provides a turkey and all of the fixings for military families in need. The program relies heavily on food drives and cash donations from the community to provide this outreach each year..
Annually, we receive over 1000 requests for assistance. Requests are generated by military commands and forwarded to our office. If you are looking for assistance, please contact your senior enlisted command representative. Referrals will be handled by our Fleet Readiness Director Jamie Brown.
Our goal this year is to raise $15,000 in cash donations from the community and 1000 each of specific food items. If you have a group or business that would like to partner with us by holding a food drive, please contact our Special Events Coordinator Chrystal Lewis for specific instructions. Posters and boxes are available upon request.
Be Involved with Thanksgiving Assistance
The Armed Services Y provides free or low-cost youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility programs for junior enlisted military & their families to make military life easier.
