Rated 3.2 out of 5 by 744 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by thester Noisy hvac system, small rooms I have stayed here before, but of all the W hotels I've stayed at this one is probably the worst. The rooms are tiny, even for New York. The HVAC system, when it came on from time to time through the night, was so loud it woke me up. Also, I purposely save toiletries to use the next day, and I came back to my room to find that my only partially used Bliss shower supplies had all been replaced with brand new product. What a waste. So in all, I would expect more from W hotels. January 13, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by AliceNov2013 @ $450+ - Worst hotel in Midtown/NYC Room rate $450+ - THE WORST HOTEL IN NYC Ridiculously small / small hotel room ever!!! Couldn't open my small suitcase without it blocking a door (hotel room, bathroom or closet) or the walkway. Made them transfer me to a larger room and the next room was still stupidly small. In both rooms - Cheap decor, bad lighting (couldn't see to put on makeup). TV mounted on a stripper pole in both rooms DO NOT STAY HERE EVER, plenty of better and cheaper hotels within walking distance November 10, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Scott57 Ceiling in room fell down I had a mixed stay this past time. A portion of the celing in my room fell down during my first night and luckily it did not strike the bed. But really - at this level of standard should the maintenance be so questionable that the ceiling is falling in? On the plus side the staff was excellent, especially Marian at the fornt desk - they moved me to a new room immediately and were vey helpful. So my problem is that I can highly recommend the staff but watch out for the ceiling June 5, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tom2012 Great hotel though be careful with room 325 I often stay at the W Hotel. Great location for business and has a great gym. Normally no problems but I had room 325 which was terrible. Odd banging noises from the pipes (probably due to the heater system); room was often too cold or too hot; and I think the ventilation was connected to the kitchen as it often smelt of food cooking. Couple of small things: they forgot to give my complimentary water and internet access was very slow despite selecting the premium connection. February 4, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jean9 This hotel is horrible.... This was not my first time staying at a W Hotel however this was by far the WORST experience. Being a NYer, I know how expensive real estate is but this was unacceptible. The room was called cozy but that was an understatment. It was the size of broom closet and worst of all not clean. There were holes in the sheets, remiments of the previous guest on the floor. Its disgusting how much you charge for a room of this caliber. I will NEVER stay or recommend this hotel again.

Rated 3 out of 5 by TravelGuru Shoe Box Size Room Location is great but we dislike the size of the room - smaller than my closet. We understand that it is New York and room size is typically smaller but it was rediculously small. Decor was nothing special, closet was awkward, but the bed was comfortable. Thanks to the help of their Welcome Team Talent Coach as he assisted in moving us to a larger room which made our stay a bit more comfortable. For the price we paid, we can get better room size and amenities elsewhere. March 12, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Aris2000 Cozy Comfort Too Cozy My sister and I reserved a Cozy comfort room for our 3 night stay in New York. Having stayed at a W hotel before we had no reservations about the room being described as cozy but it was definitely too small for two people. We were also not aware that the hotel had no heat and coming from Florida that was a bit of a problem for us. Someone at the time of check in should have notified us of this. The meal we ordered from Room service was quite over priced for the quality. October 18, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by margar28 Weekend Getaway The hotel was clean and the staff were courteous. The elevators were slow. The description of a cozy room with a queen bed is a little misleading. I don't know how they measure a queen sized bed. But it was to small to be a queen size bed anywhere else. That said the room was small (cozy) but clean and nicely decorated. I also had slight problem with my bill that they fixed instantly. Overall a good stay, but that "queen size" bed was a joke. It was full size at best. August 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pera2014 Staff was friendly and responsive! Had two nearby events and needed a place to stay for one night. Stayed at the W and the best part was the gracious front desk attendant. She was very friendly and helpful. I think her name was Janina. The rooms are lovely, but very tiny - and I had one of the bigger ones! The bathrooms were also NYC small - but I am 7 months pregnant so maybe I needed a little more room than usual. :) June 12, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by eschmit1 Not the best W... I generally expect a certain level of quality when I stay at a W. I found this hotel to be outdated. The hotel was missing items that I normally expect to see in a room (like soap and free bottles of water). I normally love Starwood hotels for their beds; however, the bed in our suite was small and not nearly as comfortable. Though I was not impressed with the hotel itself, the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is also in a great location within the city. February 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by HondaDream1959 The New York W is still very hip and comfortable. The New York W continues to excel. It is still very stylish. Great location. The staff was wonderful. Check-in staff was very efficient and got me in and out swiftly. The two concierges were very helpful. More importantly, They were very caring and wanted to make sure that you were actually pleased with the results. However, I did experience one mechanical failure. During the second day of my stay, the toilet would not operate. You would push the handle and absolutely nothing would happen. Engineering arrived and sort of repaired it, but then it continued to make a horrible screeching sound throughout the rest of the stay. I thought I should have been offered another room without a screeching toilet. That would have truly defined Whatever Whenever. However, I will say Heartbeat prepared the best Eggs Benedict I have ever had. March 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 123Bella Perfect location Perfect location, amazing staff, great food... Overall a great stay!! July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jean64 Superb Location The staff was extremely prompt with my check in. The room was clean, spacious, fabulous, 5 star quality. The staff immediately made my daughter's 21st Birthday one to remember. They gave it an "extra special" touch which was wonderful. Hotel is in a prime location for both Times Square and Central Park as well as Rockefeller Center. It offers a uniqure car service that you must look into should you decide to book your stay with W New York. I will definitely return! August 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cole22 Hotel staff and management are excellent My stay exceeded any and all expectations. I can't express how grateful I am to the staff and management of this hotel. They are wonderful. I would like to personally thank David, Renee, and Katherine. I was celebrating a special occasion and they gave me a beautiful room along with an extremely warm welcome. Comfort and cleanliness impeccable. After a day at Bliss spa, the bed was heavenly. I will definitely be staying at this hotel again, as well as referring it. October 4, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Xina W New York on Lexington I booked this hotel after confirming twice with W staff that I would not have any issues using a small area in either their lobby or in their event center for an afternoon to conduct business interviews. On both occasions, the W Hotel staff assured me that there is ample space and there would not be any activities to hinder us. Shortly after I checked-in and began to meet my first guests, a construction crew & event planner kicked us out of each area we using (and had been assured to be able to use). Needless to say there was no rescheduling possible and the hotel neglected to inform me ahead of time about an event which consumed all personnel and space in both the lobby and conference area. It was nerve racking and one of the most unpleasant & unkind experiences I've dealt with at a hotel. I do not recommend this hotel. September 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kiabeth01 Be careful with the munchie bar! We did not know that the muchie bar automatically charged our credit card everytime we picked something up. Be careful! You might be charged hundreds of dollars. July 16, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by BusinessTraveler312 Needs Renovation! Please note I was extremely dissatisfied with the room. When taking a shower the water would flood the entire bathroom. I understand that it was a handicap accessible room, however I do not feel the drainage was adequate. Room service also quoted me a time of 20 minutes (for cookies) and arrived after 50 minutes only after I called to check on order status. I understand the hotel may be going through some changes and hope this will be fixed for future stays. January 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ravad00 Hotel's staff is excellent, well almost everyone. I've stayed at this hotel several times in the past. The hotel is conveniently located. I like the hotel, the facilities and most of the time, staff. On my last stay I headed down to the Living Room in the evening, to get some dinner and finish up a few things from work. As I settled in the comfy couch the waitress walked over. I requested her to give me some time to look at the menu. She never stopped by my area for the rest of the evening. She attended to people sitting next to me but never did approach me nor anyone who were sitting in my area. She avoided complete eye-contact and quickly walked away from my area each time before I could signal to her. After a couple of hours I gave up and returned to my room and ordered some room-service. The other hotel staff were very courteous, polite and very attentive to my needs. January 27, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mimi2013 So wanted this to be great I, in general, love W Hotels, and was looking forward to checking out the one on Lex, particularly since we are usually traveling in groups when we go to NY and they never pick an SPG property! I knew the room would be small (it is NY), but my room was so tiny, I couldn't really walk around the bed. My travel companion had to switch rooms because they put him in a room where there was an air duct right at his window--the room they moved him to was moldy and not very clean. My room was ok in terms of clean, but the towels smelled moldy--which was not pleasant. One thing I found disappointing--they provide a complimentary bottle of water each day--which is great--but they kind of hide it in with the mini-bar stuff, so if you weren't looking for it, you would never find it. I just felt for the money, it could have been nicer. August 9, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by James150 Cramped and noisy A typical NYC hotel, small rooms, somewhat over designed. The mini bar was terrible. I picked up an item to look at it and was immediately charged for it! I called downstairs and was told that it would be taken off of my bill. Guess what? The next morning it was still there, at checkout it took five minutes to remove it! Considering it took ten minutes to check in because my reservation was misplaced, I am not sure that I will put this hotel on my revisit list. October 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MissM1 Conference Stay We have our semi-annual work conference there. Always a nice stay. Convenient and good service. Not overly solicitous. July 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Shoebox Ok, but not a good value Used my Starwood points and received a room with a view of these horrible heating vents. Surprised with the shabbiness of the bathroom. Tiles were dirty, corners not clean and my bath towel was thin and stained. Not impressive at all, glad that I didn't have to pay full price. The room was overall fine but tiny. No hotel restaurant. I'm not sure what all the 5 star raters received, but I didn't feel it from the staff at all, could have been at any 3 star hotel. March 4, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Nothappy12345 Typical Starwood Experience The one thing that has become common with most if not all Starwood Hotels is the bad service and non caring staff. The room was clean, but the staff at the front door was too busy chatting with each other to help with the luggage. I had to call twice to get a wake up call registered. Each time they could not find it. The concierge was asked for an umbrella and we were told to go ask someone else. The one positive thing was at check in the lady was very nice. November 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by bcc1973 clean, quiet, modern everything about the midtown w met or exceeded my expectations. clean room, timely room service, quiet hotel, helpful staff -- everything you look for as a visitor in a city. i'm a little surprised that wireless internet service comes with a fee per 24 hours, especially when so many other hotels offer it for free, but really that's not a slight to the w, just an observation. i would definitely stay in this hotel again, especially given it's central location. August 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chemat Great Welcome, friendly Staff Big thanks to Liz at the front desk for the kind welcome and Jose and his team for the daily housekeeping. I had a wonderful stay. July 16, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by wab2 Strangely Unacceptable To be honest, I never thought the day would come when I give a -bad- review to a W hotel. I have stayed at this very hotel before (albeit about six years ago). And, my experience is far from what I expected. The hotel placed me in a room that was not as originally described when booked (booked as downtown view, received view of brick walls). Further, noone was willing to help us (my sister and me) find the correct accomodations. Room service was slow and attempted to charge for nothing (literally) and the room itself (brick walls notwithstanding) was frankly subpar in terms of size and finishes. It's by no means a Cateogy 6 place. This should be considered a generous Category 5 at best. If you have to stay in New York and want to stay in a W, please consider either Union Square or Times Square and leave this one off your list. May 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by bobl2555 W Hotel 49th and Lex Excellent hotel with a staff that was very helpful. Great bar in lobby and club attached The quick easy coffee/breakfast option in the lobby each morning was excellent...good coffee Only negative was that the rooms were a little small but minor inconvenience Beds were very comfortable June 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by trvlr0721 Enjoyed my time here Originally booked a cozy room. I was upgraded to a fantastic suite, and I'm glad I did because I cant imagine how small the cozy would have been. But for NYC, I guess it wasnt too small. Enjoyed my stay here...always took fresh apples from the front desk, and enjoyed the water with oranges near the elevator. The team was quick to fix a billing issue and offered us 4pm late check out, which was awesome. Thanks for a great stay! April 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by CFL1965 Great Location The hotel is modern and centrally located, very convenient. The rooms are very small and dorm like, although the bathrooms were nice. The room was very clean and serviced daily. With all the extra taxes and charges the room was overpriced. Great place to hang out in the lobby and restaurant and just crash in the room. I wasn't too happy about the $195.00 parking charge since I did not have a car, but the staff happily took off all the erroneous charges. December 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by mary22 Not what I expected I was checked in by a spanish man. He was nice he noticed that I speak spanish too so he continued the process in spanish to make me feel more welcome. When I got to the room I noticed there was only one queen bed in the room and my friend was staying with me. So I came down to the front desk and I told him if it was possible to have a room with 2 double beds he told me they were sold out in double beds in a sunday night.. ?? and my type of rate was only for a queen bed. I understood the situation but he didnt apoloziged at all and he did not offer a rollaway bed sent to the room or anythig at all. Besides that the stay was great and I met this man in the elevator he was delivering waters to every floor I wish I could remeber his name. He gave a free water and he was very nice. He changed the whole overview of the check in process. May 22, 2013

The MYC 64th Annual regatta was held on September 7 - 8, 2013 with a welcome party on September 6, It was a great success with 17 Flying Scots, 5 Day Sailers and 24 Sunfish participating. It was a real family affair this year! On FS and Day Sailers, we had 5 father-son teams, 3 father-daughter teams, a team of brothers, 4 husband-wife teams (one of which were the parents of another skipper),. On Sunfish we had 2 mothers of other skippers, 4 fathers of other skippers and 2 grandfathers of other skippers. One family came with 4 Sunfish, 3 on a trailer and one on top of a car. We had decent wind for 2 days, although it was from the west-northwest, but managed to get in 7 races for big boats and 10 races for Sunfish! Another great time for everyone at MYC! Results are here
From Frank Gerry, FSSA President
On the weekend of September 7-8, 2013, we had the fortune to attend a super good small regatta in the middle of Michigan. We have the opportunity to travel to many nice regattas throughout the Midwest just like many of you folks do across the Flying Scot landscape. The cool thing about this event was watching the great job a small club can do with a roll up your sleeves attitude and a lot of good old volunteerism. Crystal Sailing Club is a small club with maybe 40 members located in none other than Crystal, Michigan! The club has a single launch ramp, a single pier and a nice functional clubhouse. Yachts are primarily Flying Scots and Sunfish with a few other small boats. This year they hosted the Michigan-Ontario districts drawing boats from mostly Michigan and few of us out of district boats from Illinois. Our excellent hosts lead by regatta chair Steve Rajkovich, PRO Steve Last and Commodore Joe Kopchick, put on a great event. For the sailor, all the ingredients were there; Nice weather, idyllic location, super hospitable hosts, good food ( Steve the regatta chair and team cooked breakfast for us all ), good sailing ( thanks to Mother Nature, Steve the PRO and team). It was a fun time.
The 2013 Atlantic Coast Championships are on at Tom's River Yacht Club, Tom's River, NJ form 9/14 - 9/15/2013, with a chilly start to Day 1 - in the 50's and warming to alomst 70 degrees.

A wide range of Flying Scot build dates were evident by observing the competitors sail numbers where numbers ranged from #25 to #5472. A total of eleven Flying Scots from Richland Washington Fleet 186 and Seattle Washington Fleet 100 competed in the two day event sailed off shore of Fort Warden State Park on the Puget Sound. This location continues to be popular with past and present fleet members.
On Saturday, after a delayed morning race start, winds filled in quickly from the NW and built to 15 mph with gusts to 18 mph. Three races were sailed before racing was called off due to continuing building wind velocity. All courses were windward-leeward from a location just off the beach at Point Wilson Light to the leeward Race Committee mark, and the more distant Red Bell #2 near Port Hudson at the north end of the town of Port Townsend. Two of the three races were sailed twice around.
Fishing Bay Yacht Club in Deltaville, VA, posted their 74th Annual One Design Regatta on August 10-11, 2013, with Optis, Lasers, Albacore, Front Runner, San Juan, Typhoon and Flying Scots. Saturday everyone got in 2 races, but Sunday, only the Optimists were able to race - just not enough wind.
Read more about it on the Fishing Bay website here - Flying Scot results are here.
Sunday 8/11 brought us another beautiful day at Saratoga Lake, NY, with light and variable southeast winds to start the last race. The winds were fluky and spotty towards the middle of the race, then died near the end if the course. The leaders sat near the finish line waiting to see if they could get what they needed to just make it across the finish line. The wind finally came in from the southwest pushing several of the other boats right up to the leaders, but not quite in time to beat them. Several of the boats behind changed places with each other as the wind got to them at different times.
Trophies were awarded to the top 5
1 Ryan Malmgren & Stacey Rieu - Ephraim YC
2 Jay & Brian McNeff - Massapoag YC
3 Bernie Zabek & Bill Metz - Saratoga Lake SC
4 Jim Cavanagh & John Houstle

Saturday 8/10 -The sky was beautiful and there were brisk winds 14 - 20+ from the Southwest that gave us a real challenge on the racecourse today. 19 boats ventured out and we all managed to stay upright, although a few boats ALOMST went over. Over the course of the 4 races, the wind continued to build, but we stayed out and kept racing. There were a few people after the races saying "I have to call Harry", but mostly boats stayed intact even in the heavy air. Results to date are here

Capitals rally to beat Flyers in shootoutBy KEVIN DUNLEAVY
The Associated Press | December 16,2013AP Photo
Washington Capitals right wing Alex Ovechkin (8) celebrates his goal with defenseman Mike Green and right wing Joel Ward (42) during Sundays game against the Flyers n Washington.WASHINGTON Alex Ovechkin was a bit off and still on target.
The Russian star scored with 48 seconds left and goalie Phillip Grubauer off for an extra attacker to cap a late three-goal rally and the Washington Capitals went on to beat Philadelphia 5-4 in a shootout Sunday.
Ill be honest with you, I missed my shot, Ovechkin said. It was kind of funny. I didnt get all of it.
It was the second time in six days that Ovechkin scored the tying goal with less than a minute left to cap a rally from three goals down. On Tuesday night in a 6-5 shootout victory over Tampa Bay, Ovechkin powered the comeback with four goals.
Mike Green cut Washingtons deficit to 4-2 with 8:40 remaining, and Dmitry Orlov pulled the Capitals within one with 3:31 to go. The two defensemen scored on long slap shots.
I think we had too much perimeter stuff, and once we just started peppering him with shots, one was bound to go in, Green said. You look at the goals that went in, he either didnt see it, and it was just a floater, which could have been an easy save from that far out.
Ovechkin then tied it with his NHL-leading 27th goal.
I think we had luck on our side today, especially at the end of the game, Ovechkin said. Ill take it and the team will take it.
In the shootout, Eric Fehr and Nicklas Backstrom for Washington and Grubauer made two saves on three shots to give Washington an improbable victory in the first meeting of the teams since they brawled at the end of the Capitals 7-0 victory in Philadelphia on Nov. 1.
Marcus Johansson had a first-period power play goal for Washington, scoring on a pass from Ovechkin that went through the legs of a Philadelphia defender.
Claude Giroux, Mark Streit, Sean Couturier and Jacob Voracek scored for Philadelphia, and Michael Raffl had three assists.
It doesnt matter how many goals you score and how many points you have in this league, Streit said. Its a very bad loss.
Streit scored the go-ahead goal early in the second period when he picked off a pass by Washington defender Karl Alzner and received a give-and-go feed from Raffl to make it 2-1. When Couturier and Voracek scored 1:14 apart early in the third period, the Flyers appeared on their way.
Nothing changed, Washington coach Adam Oates said. A little bit of luck on the first goal. We got some life. The emotion of the game, I guess would be the one thing. Obviously the crowd gets into it and you feel a little bit better and make a push. Win a draw and before you know it, its a game.
Washingtons Michael Latta and Philadelphias Zac Rinaldo traded punches and were sent off in the second period. Early in the third, the Capitals Steve Oleksy and the Flyers Wayne Simmonds received majors for fighting.
The teams will meet again Tuesday night in Philadelphia.
The primary combatants from Nov. 1 in a rare fight between goalies the Capitals Braden Holtby and the Flyers Ray Emery were on the bench. Steve Mason had 29 saves for Philadelphia, and Grubauer stopped 24 shots for Washington.
NOTES: The Capitals have moved Brooks Laich to the long-term injured reserve list retroactive to Nov. 27 because of a strained groin. Sunday was the eighth straight game Laich has missed. He would be eligible to return Dec. 22. The 30-year-old center played only nine games last season as he battled a similar injury, leading to sports hernia surgery in April. Laichs problems continued in September when he left the ice with a strained hip flexor in the first 10 minutes of the Capitals opening preseason practice. ... The Capitals recalled center Michael Latta from Hershey and activated defenseman John Erskine, who had missed 21 games with a knee injury. Defenseman Nate Schmidt was sent back to Hershey.MORE IN Wire SportsARLINGTON, Texas LeSean McCoy ran for 159 yards a touchdown, Mark Sanchez had his first scoring...

The faces of 1980s Corrie
6 comments:
Look at the ages of hese characters.
Now we can see why Corrie's gone off the boil.
Too many shouty young characters introduced with no talent for conversation and a limited range of life experience.
I liked it when it was more mature all round.
- 31 January 2013 00:56
People just looked and acted older then. Emily, Ivy, Rita and Vera were all around fifty in the eighties, which is the age Stella, Sally, Eileen and Gail are now. Mike and Ken were Peter's age and Bet and Mavis were similar. Deidre and Gail didn't turn thirty until late in the decade, putting them at similar ages to Maria, Leanne and Fiz.
If anything, there are more older characters now as Annie, Ena and Albert left in the early eighties but we still have Rita, Dennis, Norris, Emily, Sylvia and Ken, who are all in their seventies or eighties.
- 31 January 2013 09:43
I agree with Methuselah. There's a big difference between age and maturity.
- 31 January 2013 12:54
This is really interesting. It's all the good characters. Emily and Ken spent 3 decades at least in the top 12. I guess by the time with get to the present, Rita will have achieved that too. No wonder they are unsackable.
- 31 January 2013 15:18
What worries me is that the "younger" characters don't ever seem to learn from their mistakes. Come to think of it, neither do several of the seniors. Maturity is supposed to come from experience, which is then supposed to bring wisdom. Not a lot of that has been demonstrated under the Collinson regime. Let's hope the new producer allows characters to get smarter, which may mean bringing in more experienced, mature, wiser writers. The actors can only have intelligent conversations if the writers give them the words!

I really liked Alf in the '80s. He adored that Corner Shop, didn't he? And as the sole owner (after he inherited it from dear Renee in 1980) he did it proud, even modernising it in 1985. Audrey didn't like the Corner Shop, of course. But it remained the other great love of Alf's life.

Over the years we have had a series of shirts that we initially did because we wanted to explore the history of soccer in the US. There is a rich history with the sport in the States, and we thought that seemed like a really good place to start. A good first series of shirts for Bumpy Pitch. There is a belief that "you can't know where you're going until you know where you're from." And that was kind of the impetus for doing shirts that spoke to the history of soccer in the US. We wanted to share the history of professional soccer teams in the US before we started moving forward with other designs and collections. And while we have done more than just vintage soccer teams since these shirts were first released, there is always a demand from people asking for them.
So we are re-releasing a few of our favorites and a few of our all time best sellers. And then that will be it for awhile. Once these shirts sell out (again), we will be shelving these designs for awhile. Not because we don't love them, but because we need to. We have a lot of things we are working on for 2015, and the time to look ahead is squarely upon us. We always like to look back a bit and explore the history. But in the foreseeable future, we will be doing a little less looking in the rearview mirror, and a little more looking straight ahead.
With that said, if you have ever had your eyes on one of these shirts, now would be the time to grab one (or all of them). I have no idea if or when we will bring these styles back. I mentioned these are some of our favorites, so below is a breakdown of each one and why they have been and always will be so important.
The first time we did the Brooklyn Wanderers shirt was back in like 2009 or something. We did it as part of a pack that also included the Fall River Marksmen and Bethlehem Steel shirts (more on them below). These three teams were amongst the very oldest in terms of professional soccer teams in America. The Brooklyn Wanderers date all the way back to the late 1890′s. So anyone saying there isn't a pedigree and heritage of soccer in the US, you can point them in the direction of the Brooklyn Wanderers.
So the Brooklyn Wanderers had no logo. Or at least none that we could find. So the slate was pretty blank when it came to what we wanted the "credit" or "logo" for the team to look like. We approached the design as if we had been hired back in the 1890′s to design a crest for the team. What would be authentic and endemic to a professional soccer team in Brooklyn in the 1890′s. The Brooklyn Bridge seemed like a pretty obvious choice. The bridge was completed in 1883, so just a few years before the Wanderers began playing. The bridge is mad iconic, it literally bridges Brooklyn and Manhattan and is such a strong visual element associated with Brooklyn. And from an actual historical timing thing goes, it is authentic to that time period. It existed when the team existed.
So we took our design cues from the bridge. But there are a ton of Brooklyn bridge inspired product so we did our best to come up with a unique angle of the bridge. We ended up designing this graphic with the arches front and center. To give it the feeling that these arches represent the entrance to Brooklyn.
I love this graphic. I love this shirt. I love the idea of a team named the Brooklyn Wanderers. I love the history. If I lived in Brooklyn and had a pickup team, I would call us the Brooklyn Wanderers.
Fun fact – Our Brooklyn Wanderers shirt has been worn by the likes of Mark Wahlberg, Steve Nash and Ryan Seacrest.
Fall River Marksmen. I have worn this shirt so many times. I really love this one. I love the design but I also love the importance of the team itself. They were one of the most successful clubs in their day. They won the American Soccer league seven times after being founded in 1922. They won the National Challenge Cup four times. They won some other really old soccer tournaments back in the day. Super successful team.
They were owned by a dude named Sam Mark, which they took their name from. Sam Mark put his money where his mouth was and built his team their own soccer stadium. This stadium was ever so cleverly named Mark's Stadium.
When we were designing this graphic, we took the same approach as we did with Brooklyn. Trying to incorporate elements that would have been authentic to the time period, the name of the club and the area. Even though the name Marksmen was based on their owners last name, we also took it kind of literal. During the Revolutionary War, there was a battle called the Battle of Freetown in which the locals battled the British. That whole "revolutionary" type of attitude certainly influenced the look of this crest.
This is one of the only vintage team shirts that we have only ever offered in one color way. It has come in black since day one, and I don't think it would ever be offered in any other color. It's just that simple.
Fun fact – We made this logo up from scratch. It didn't exist before. But if you go to the Fall River Marksmen Wikipedia page, it is there as their crest. I guess that's when you know a design works…
Fun fact 2 – Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine wore this shirt.
This ranks up there at the very of of our all time best sellers. We get emails every week about all three of these old teams, but Bethlehem Steel seems to hold a special place for a lot of people. So Bethlehem Steel was an actual steel company in Bethlehem, PA. At one time, Bethlehem Steel (the company, not the team) was America's second largest steel producer and largest shipbuilder. Cool stuff, right? Something even cooler, at least for us, is the amount of emails we have received from people telling us that a grandparent or a parent worked at Bethlehem Steel at one point and how much this shirt means to them. I don't know if they have any connection to the soccer team, but there is a connection. And if a shirt inspired by an old soccer team can create that emotion and connection. That's pretty rad.
So Bethlehem Steel was a really good soccer team. They won all kinds of trophies. They were backed by an oil company…
This oil money helped to build them not only their own stadium, but the first soccer stadium in the US with stadium seating. I assume that before this, everyone stood around and watched the games. Imagine how good it felt to be able to sit.
Fun fact – We didn't do much to this logo. It was the original steel company logo. The team logo was just a "B" on the front of the jersey I believe. So we took this logo, recreated it, shifted Steel a bit to one side, added the FC and then distressed it to make it look old. Not a huge deal, but that was how we went ahead and re-purposed it as the logo for our shirt. The logo that we did, with the FC added to it, has been used since by more than one brand. It seems that the perception is that the logo that we altered has now been viewed by some as the original. It's not. It's just what we came up with for them and what we liked.
Let's go ahead and jump ahead a couple generations from the teams above. When we do that, we land in the 1970′s and the NASL. New York might have had Pele and the Cosmos, but LA had George Best and the Aztecs. They also got Johan Cruyff for one year and they were partially owned by Elton John. How LA is that?
We are an LA based brand. We grew up in LA. We honed our soccer crafts on fields in this great city. So one of our all time favorite shirts has to be of an LA based team. Simple.
And this is almost certainly the last time we will release an LA Aztecs shirt. Unless somehow Dunny makes a convincing argument that we absolutely have to bring it back.
When it was announced that Chivas USA was going to be completely relaunched and rebranded, we had high hopes (but pretty low expectations) that they would come back as the LA Aztecs. So much so that we made an impassioned plea here.
Fun fact – Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine wore this shirt in a story in the LA Times (that makes two separate Bumpy Pitch shirts he has worn – score!!!).
All four of these shirts are available in the Bumpy Pitch store while supplies last.

Promising projects from the Linux kernel community
Developers are constantly looking for new ways to interact with the versatile Linux kernel. We study some innovative projects leading deep into kernel space.
Most Linux users know they can rely on the kernel without ever giving it much thought. But if you do look a little deeper, you'll find some evolving technologies that extend the kernel in interesting ways. This month we cover some innovations at the edges of the Linux kernel.
Our first article describes the new userspace driver model in upcoming kernel versions. In our second story, Klaus Knopper looks at block device compression with the Cloop module, which lets Live CD developers put up to 2GBs on a 700MB CD. We'll also examine kernelbased virtualization with KVM, and we'll end with a look at the Flash Translation Layer and the LogFS flash filesystem.

First stayPosted May 6, 2014 on Hotels.com
It was alright. The hotel was old and you could tell. Minor maintenance would do wonders and a better cleaning crew. The headboard had a layer of dust of on it. One of the lamp shades was cracked/broken and one of the lamps didn't work. Also, the overhead light - a bulb was out. Overall, not a bad stay.

one night outPosted Mar 10, 2014 on Hotels.com
It was what we expected for a low rate hotel just for a get away night from the kids / what concerned me was the microwave was plugged in to a cheap two wire extension core and the hot and neutral were reversed so the plug could fit and the ground was unplugged so the microwave was able to shock someone if they came into contact with a grounding source

I am old school and think that new is not always best. When I saw the original tub and tile in this clean motel bath room, it spoke to me of being cared for and quaint. It was what a 60's room would be with the modern additions of microwave and refrigerator. It was clean andI liked the room.

not a bad hotelPosted Jun 12, 2013 on Hotels.com
I was more satisfied with this hotel than I thought I was going to be. The room was small and a bit old, but it was clean and comfortable enough for a 2 night stay. The bed was a king and not at all uncomfortable. We felt safe in the room, and wound up spending a lot of time in it due to storms. Tv was small, but got plenty of channels. The lady at the front desk was hard to understand, but pleasant and making an effort to communicate. Clayton itself is very small, but if you do plan on staying there, this was the cheapest option i could find and i recommend it. I dont feel that this hotel is deserving of a bad review.

What does the violent heart of revolution feel like? As the anger and hatred glow white hot is there a language its players use to speak to one another? And what becomes of the gun toting authorities when their fiefdom is destroyed, nobody is any longer afraid, and all things are ablaze? Just some of the questions addressed in this visceral documentary from Maidan square in the violent Ukrainian winter of 2013-14.

What would the world look like if humans never grew old? Two eccentric biologists are determined to find out. In this larger-than-life doc, Bill Andrews and Aubrey de Grey leave behind the journals and peer reviews of the scientific establishment to embark on a quest for the age-old secret of eternal youth. Can it be done? And is it desirable? They differ in their approach, but are united in their goal: to learn to live forever, or die trying.

In the age of photoshop, the pressure on the ugly, wrinkled and pigeon-breasted has never been so great. But Del Keens, a self-confessed gargoyle and welfare-dependant, is here to turn the tables. After being scouted by an advertising photographer and fronting major campaigns by Levi's and Calvin Klein, he's forming his own modelling agency - good-lookers need not apply. But is this a liberating counter concept? Or simply coquetry to reaffirm our ideal of beauty?

Once a thriving mining community, now a destitute hinterland ravaged by its addiction to a prescription painkiller. The West Virginian town of Oceana is a portentous glimpse of the American dream, collapsed. It's home to high-school girls with $800-a-day habits, former miners who turned to dealing to make ends meet, and pregnant women selling their bodies for another fix. Crafted and searingly powerful - at the very top of its game.

An exuberant account of the contradictions native to this troubled land.

Ray Wilson is a Scottish musician, best known as vocalist in the post-grunge band Stiltskin (do you remember their 1994's hit "Inside"?), and in Genesis between 1996 and 1998 ("Calling All Stations" period). In 2006 Ray resurrected the Stiltskin's moniker and released a quite good album titled "She".
In 2010, Wilson began to work on a successor to "She" with Uwe Metzler and Peter Hoff: the new album was released in September 2011 with the title "Unfulfillment" and is one of the nicest surprises of last year, because of the richness of the sound, the quality of the songs and the intensity of Ray's interpretation.

* Smartly realizing that nothing is going to change on the climate change beat, NPR guts its environmental reporting.
* Epigrams for my research agenda: That's to say nothing of the fact that the people involved in GamerGate that Grieco defends are, in fact, not poor bullied kids. They are, overwhelmingly, employed, educated, privileged adult men, many of whom work for some of the most powerful and profitable industries in our economy. Their beloved sci fi and comic books and fantasy genres and media– those aren't reviled and disrespected properties that people are ashamed to like. They're economically dominant and critically lauded, and given the way the internet makes culture spread more broadly and intensely than ever before, are probably the most powerful force in the history of the arts.

* Building a Better Panopticon: The Wire as melodrama.
The Wire extends and elaborates melodrama in remarkable ways. But, as Williams says, melodrama remains a broadly liberal medium — and as Williams doesn't say, liberalism and neoliberalism are not especially distant cousins. Liberalism can critique neoliberalism for its inequities, its cruelties, and its callousness. But to neoliberalism's call for data and surveillance, liberalism can only respond with a call for better data and more nuanced surveillance; to neoliberalism's doctrine of individuality as sameness, liberalism can only offer a deeper individuality subsumed within a deeper sameness. The Wire is undoubtedly one of the greatest melodramas extant, and an object lesson in how powerful the form can be. Its limitations aren't a failure on the part of its creators so much as an indication that melodrama, having gotten us to this particular liberal democratic impasse, is unlikely, on its own, to get us out.

Griffins ink Knuble to tryout
The Grand Rapids Griffins on Monday signed veteran NHL right wing and East Kentwood, Mich., native Mike Knuble to a professional tryout.
Knuble, 40, will become the second Greater Grand Rapids native to play for the Griffins, joining East Grand Rapids' Luke Glendening. Born in Toronto, Knuble has numerous ties to this area, as he helped the East Kentwood High School Falcons to a state championship in 1990, was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings (fourth round, 76th overall) in 1991, played four seasons for the University of Michigan (1991-95), and made his NHL debut with the Red Wings in 1996-97 before helping the team to its second straight Stanley Cup in 1998.
Knuble and his family currently make their home in East Grand Rapids as well.
A veteran of 1,040 NHL games, Knuble has recorded 540 points (274 goals, 266 assists) over 16 seasons with the Red Wings, New York Rangers, Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals. Currently an NHL free agent, he has been skating with the Griffins periodically since training camp. Holding both Canadian and American citizenship, Knuble has represented the United States several times on the international stage, most recently at the 2006 Olympics.
Knuble joins an exclusive club of players to have played over 1,000 NHL games before debuting with the Griffins, including Chris Chelios (1,616), Kelly Miller (1,057) and Brad May (1,041). The 18th-year pro last played in the AHL with the Adirondack Red Wings during the 1996-97 season. He has 108 points (50 goals, 58 assists) in 148 career AHL games.
Knuble is expected to make his Griffins debut when the team hosts Oklahoma City on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced plans Monday to send up to 1,000 of his state's National Guard troops to the Mexican border within 30 days, saying that the Obama administration has not kept Texas secure.
The Republican governor said the troops will be integrated into a state law enforcement program called Operation Strong Safety, which is aimed at preventing criminal activity by Mexican drug cartels on the Texas side of the border. The move is necessary, he said, because the U.S. Border Patrol has been overwhelmed by a surge of unaccompanied minors who have entered the country illegally.
I will not stand idly by while our citizens are under assault and little children from Central America are detained in squalor, Perry said in Austin.
The governor's aides said the National Guard will work with state troopers at observation posts. The Guardsmen will not be empowered to apprehend anyone, but rather will help identify potential criminal activity and alert law enforcement officers.
Perry did not outline any role for them in dealing with the unaccompanied children at the border; more than 57,000 of them have been apprehended by federal agents since October. The Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for caring for the children.
Illegal immigrants arrested by state troopers will be turned over to the Border Patrol, the governor's aides said.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest suggested that Perry's move is symbolic and urged him to offer public support for President Barack Obama's funding request. He chided the governor for not providing the kinds of communication that you'd ordinarily see from a governor when they want to make a deployment like this.

Kipp speaks to CEO of The Travel Attaché, Liam Wholey, to find out more about UAE's new luxury travel agent.
December 18, 2012 10:27 by Eva Fernandes
What is The Travel Attaché?
The Travel Attaché is a bespoke luxury travel agent and tour operator based in Dubai – we specialize in seamless, high-service leisure travel for people who are looking for a phenomenal holiday experience. We take away all the work, research and headache from the customer and add our expertise and first-hand knowledge delivering perfectly-tailored options at exceptional rates.
How is The Travel Attaché different from other travel agencies?
At TheTravel Attaché we are not reinventing the wheel – however we believe are unique in Dubai in terms of the level of product, service, knowledge and expertisethat we bring to our customers. The key differentiator for The Travel Attaché is the Exclusive Experiences section of the site where we offer highly personalized escapes from playing golf with a past champion to a 48 hour adrenalin-filled lightening tour of the best that Kenya has to offer by helicopter or taking on a mission adventure organized by ex special forces personnel. All of these Experiences can be fitted to the exact requirements of the customer and we are here to be challenged – our customers can ask us for any Experience and we will work to put it together for them.
How has The Travel Attaché been received since it set up shop a month ago?
We have had a tremendous start to the business – on our second day of business we booked a trip that exceeded our first month's budget and we have booked many wonderful holidays since that day – business is great and we are determined to ensure that this happy state of affairs continues. We know that every customer must come back happy as word of mouth is vital – we have already had referrals, which is massively satisfying.
Why choose to start operations in Dubai?
There are a number of reasons – all of which made Dubai the obvious choice. From a network point of view – I have been in Dubai for nearly 4 years and am well-networked and our investors are too, there was a clear gap in the market for a business such as The Travel Attaché whereas the UK has a number of well run high-endtravel companies and competition is fierce. I believe that Dubai is well-placed at the moment from an economic stand point – certainly when compared with the UK and Europe. We feel confident in the stability of the appetite for luxury travel from the UAE, in fact we expect to see demand from this region for bespoke travel services such as The Travel Attaché provides to grow significantly over the coming years.
We are looking to open further offices in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and India within the next 4 years.
Which destinations have been the most popular among customers of The Travel Attaché?
As we have only been open for 5 weeks it is difficult to see any patterns as it is very much influenced by the season we are in – however, thus far we have seen great appetite for the warmer destinations of the Maldives, Kenya, Vietnam and Malaysia as well as huge demand for European skiing destinations such as Verbier, Zermatt, Lech and so forth. We have also had a lot of enquiries about some of the emerging destinations such as Bhutan and the Philippines – both destinations that we expect to grow in demand in 2013.
