THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART 1 Review: Flying in Circles
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is the third installment of a four-part trilogy (trilogies now come in fours, not threes, when the third book is split into two films.) Below is a quick recap of how we got here (you may skip the next two paragraphs if you are already familiar with the first two films):
In The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) lives in a dystopian future where the rich and mighty oppress the poor and feeble, and once a year those poor and feeble must fight to the death in an annual contest called The Hunger Games. Two children are chosen to represent each of the 12 Districts (think states) and they must fight until only one wins. Katniss not only wins the games, she outsmarts President Snow (Donald Sutherland), which keeps her District 12 mate – and possible love interest? – Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) alive and co-champion.
In The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Katniss is an inspiration to a beleaguered nation – a symbol of hope. As she and Peeta – whose romance is trumped up for TV, much to the concern of Katniss' actual man, Gale (Liam Hemsworth) – embark on their Victor's Tour, President Snow has growing concerns that the people might rebel against the government, so he announces that the 75th Hunger Games will be contested by past winners from all 12 Districts. This puts Katniss and Peeta back on the field of battle.
Now in installment three, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, Katniss struggles with PTSD, her identity as the face of the rebellion, and the fact that the people who rescued her – including mentor Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson), former Capitol Head Gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman), and president of little-known District 13 Alma Coin (Julianne Moore) – left Peeta behind to die. But Peeta didn't die, and this only makes matters worse for Katniss. Her former Hunger Games partner and possible love interest has been captured by Snow and is being used as propaganda against the rebellion. Through propaganda of their own, and with Katniss as their inspiration, the rebels of the 12 Districts begin an uprising that will hopefully lead to the fall of the Capitol and a new era of freedom.
When you look at a franchise like this, with its themes of oppression and rebellion, its made-for-the-big-screen action, and its dazzling cast, the last word you expect to think of is "plodding," and yet plodding is what you get for most of the 123-minute running time here. I am certainly not dialogue-averse, even in action films, but dialogue should move something forward – story, character development, something – and that simply doesn't happen here. In fact, the dialogue gives such a sense of "talking for talking's sake" that it's clear this final chapter doesn't need to be told in two films.
The early moments of the film show great promise. Katniss is haunted by PTSD in the aftermath of the 75th Hunger Games. This psychological frailty not only plays havoc on Katniss, it allows for doubt in the mind of President Coin that "The Girl on Fire" is fit to be the face of the rebellion. When Peeta is discovered to be alive, Katniss' internal conflict becomes more complicated.
That's about where the depth of the story ends.
From this point forward, the film is mostly an exercise in pointless repetition. Katniss doesn't want to be the face of the rebellion. And then she does. And then she doesn't. And then she does. Katniss has feelings for Peeta. But what about her feelings for Gale? Or Peeta? Or Gale? Katniss needs to see the devastation for herself, so she is shown the rubbly remains of her old district. She looks pensively out into the distance with tear-filled eyes. And then again at another rubbly district. And again at another.
Insert Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) for fish-out-of-water comic-ish relief, Beetee (Jeffrey Wright) for tech speak, and newcomer Cressida (Natalie Dormer) as the take-no-BS director of the propaganda shorts, and there's your movie.
Meanwhile, those in charge of planning the rebellion don't really plan the rebellion so much as they talk about the rebellion. The rebellion begins anyway (at least in two districts), but by that point, disinterest has settled in. Also disinteresting are the action sequences, which are not large enough in scope, not frequent enough in number, not long enough in duration, and not compelling enough in execution. Not one action scene is exciting. This is the first time I've ever seen an action film where the action sequences feel obligatory.
And then the last 5-10 minutes show up and they are spectacular and leave you wondering where THAT was for the previous two hours. In fact, those last 10 minutes of Part 1 leave me hopeful for Part 2 (releasing November 20, 2015) to finish the franchise on a high note.
I've not read the Harry Potter books, but when I saw the last two films – 7.1 and 7.2 – both were so rich and dense and captivating, as both stories and spectacles, it made sense to me why they made two films out of one book. Not here. There is so much nothing happening in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 that the film feels like money-making, fan-exploiting filler. In the hands of more skilled filmmakers, a tight and tense 20-30 minute introduction in front of Part 2 could do a greater service to the franchise than this 2+ hour chore.
THE BABADOOK Review: You Don't Want to Get Rid of The Babadook
The year 2014 has been terrific for independent thrillers and horror films, including some personal faves like Blue Ruin and Under the Skin (both of which will make my Best Of 2014), as well as Cheap Thrills, Lyle, and 13 Sins. Looking to add itself to that growing and very impressive list is The Babadook. This tiny horror film from Australia set Sundance on fire in January and has been lighting up the festival circuit ever since.
Six-year-old Samuel (Noah Wiseman) is a troubled boy who is so convinced there is a monster out to get him and his mother, it consumes his every waking thought and word, driving him to go so far as to design weapons to defeat it. This obsession, coupled with the boy's endless hyperactive energy, takes a toll on his mother, Amelia (Essie Davis).
The oppression Amelia feels is overwhelming. She is a single parent, having lost her husband (Samuel's father) to a car accident while en route to give birth to Samuel. The grinding routine of working thanklessly in a nursing home all day and managing her over-energized son all night takes its toll on the widow, and it all becomes that much worse when the domestic madness she feels is exacerbated by the real possibility her son has been right about that monster all along.
The Babadook is not only one of the best horror movies of 2014, it's one of the best movies of 2014 (period), and the foundation for that statement is the screenplay, written by the film's director, Jennifer Kent.
Aside from Samuel's obsession with some nondescript monster, the first third of the film has nothing to do with horror. Instead, it's an intimate study in a single mother's descent into parental madness. Samuel is loud and shrill and a behavioral problem at school and a social problem at the playground. Family and friends want nothing to do with Amelia because they want nothing to do with Samuel. More and more Amelia becomes emotionally isolated. Night after night and day after day, Samuel deprives her of peace … of personal time … of sleep … of friends … of a life.
It's so much to bear and yet more complicated than that. This is Kent's genius in how she paints Amelia. It isn't just that Samuel is THAT kid, the kid we've all rolled our eyes at in a restaurant or on a plane; it's that Samuel is, in a thought process twisted by six years of pain and sleep deprivation, why Amelia's husband is dead. Does she love her son? Of course. But there is always an underlying sense of resentment because of six years ago, and when a mother resents her own child, even the most underlying sense is palpable.
Unlike other horror movies, where so many protagonists are victims of circumstance (moving into a haunted house); victims of revenge (an evil spirit righting a past wrong); or victims of their own poor judgment (foolish teens tempting evil); Kent makes her protagonist a victim of everyday life – of a rough job and judgmental friends and a hyperactive child. At the peak of her fatigue is when Amelia is weakest. At the peak of her fatigue is when the horror starts. At the peak of her fatigue she attracts Mister Babadook.
"Mister Babadook" is the title of the scary book that finds its way onto Samuel's bookshelf – one he can't resist (thanks in part to the shocking red binding in an otherwise drab household). The reading of it only makes matters worse, as it gives a name and a face to the monster Samuel has obsessed about over his short life. It's no longer imaginary; it's a story now told.
The book could have been anything, really – a toy, a stuffed clown, a found talisman. By making it a book, though, Kent again shows her brilliance as a storyteller by tapping into that special parent/child bond – the bedtime story – and turning that parent and child into victims bound by a nightmare. It's horror at the most personal level.
As a director, Kent – making her debut, no less! – has a terrific eye, incredible patience, and (hallelujah) an aversion to jump scares. I don't mind the occasional jump scare, and this film actually has one (it's deliciously effective, too), but too many modern-day horror films rely on them to give the audience a quick jolt. Not Kent. If your typical multiplex horror film is a quickie, Kent's film is tantric with its terror.
But the superstar of the film is Davis, whose performance is staggering. She doesn't just mope through maternal fatigue, she struggles under years of emotional wear, with every tired sigh a defeated cry for mercy and every slouch a little more weight of regret. She revs up the madness once Mister Babadook comes to town, but it's her earlier, quieter moments that dazzle.
Small filmmakers have done a great job this year representing the horror genre and the independent film community, but there isn't an entry out there with the depth or power of The Babadook. With this incredible tale, Jennifer Kent proves storytelling trumps all, and sometimes the greatest horror can be found in the home.
WHIPLASH Review: Yeah, But Look at the Results
One of my favorite childhood memories is the sound of my Babcia's choir. They sang in Ukrainian, a language I (sadly) never learned, but despite that, just the sound of the collective – the harmony, the power – filled the enormous church and made me feel good. On occasion, I would go to choir practice with Babcia after mass. My only memories of those experiences involve the choir director screaming at his singers again and again, cutting them off and making them start over, for hours on end or until his voice was shot.
I didn't understand it then but I've come to since. His high demand for perfection resulted in an amazing sound – a sound I remember and remember loving so much. That high demand/high reward approach is at the core of Whiplash.
Miles Teller plays Andrew Neiman, a 19-year-old jazz drummer and student at a prestigious music conservatory. Andrew's goal is not to one day be great; his goal is to one day be one of the greats. There is a clear distinction, and Andrew knows it well. Being a student at the school is the first step towards getting there, and he gets his next big chance when he is invited to be a member of Terence Fletcher's (J.K. Simmons) band. Fletcher is a teacher at the school with two distinct reputations.
One reputation is that of recognizing great talent. The school only accepts the best of the best, and Fletcher only works with the best of those. The other reputation, though, is one of a cruel, sometimes abusive, teacher – one who berates his students with profanity- and epithet-laced tirades, all in an effort to bring out their best. The results of the former reputation mask well the sins of the latter.
Andrew's first role in Fletcher's band is that of Alternate – a second-string drummer relegated to turning the sheet music pages of the Core drummer. Hard work and a little luck change that, but being Core brings another level of demand from Fletcher that will either drive Andrew to greatness or drive him to insanity.
Writer/director Damien Chazelle crafts and executes something electrifying in Whiplash. The film is a simultaneously frenetic and fluid look at a familiar story, but Chazelle turns that story on its head with the first crash of Andrew's cymbal.
The story is that of the obsession for perfection and the high price of greatness. This is a tale usually told against the backdrop of athletics, where screaming is part of everyday communication, where berating a player is supposed to build character, and where "leaving it all on the field" typically involves blood loss. Chazelle takes these clichés off the field of play and injects them into … a music conservatory? Indeed, and to great affect. Because such extreme behavior occurs in a place traditionally regarded as calm and reserved makes the behavior that much more intense.
Dishing it out in the music room and leaving it all on the drum kit both rely heavily on the strength of the film's co-leads, and those co-leads deliver, giving equally amazing yet wildly diverse performances.
The intimidation – and it is intimidating – is doled out with unstoppable might from Simmons. Fletcher's superiority is felt in his first scene. Andrew is alone and practicing drums when Fletcher confronts him – not screaming, just being imposing. It's their first meeting. The teacher verbally vivisects the student efficiently and effectively, leaving Andrew to wonder if everything he has been working towards for 19 years has been turned to dust in 90 seconds. From that point forward, Fletcher's intensity, in the hands of Simmons and like a Big Band Jazz chart, rises and falls in waves of seething emotional rage and quiet, psychological cruelty. Fletcher is more than a music teacher – he is a surgeon and a butcher and he knows when to use which instrument to get the most out of his musicians – especially Andrew.
As Andrew, Teller is revelatory. Unlike most tales of young athletes on the brink of greatness, there is no swagger to Andrew, no cocksure chip on his shoulder that needs to be knocked off before he can rise to be a better player. Nor, however, is there humility. Teller creates Andrew as a painfully unassuming young man who knows he has the skills, but lacks that something extra to get him where he wants to be. (His being a drummer makes sense, really; he's hiding behind that kit and doing the workman's work – keeping the beat – and letting the guys up front get the attention.)
Andrew evolves, though. He becomes more confident in what he can do and what he wants to be, he becomes driven to the point of being singularly focused, and he even allows for the rare moment of arrogance, as evidenced by his devastating (Fletcher-like) commentary on his cousin's pursuits in the (Division III) college football ranks. Other than that, he keeps it all in check because he isn't there … yet.
This is the Miles Teller The Spectacular Now teased us with. This is the Miles Teller that Miles Teller needs to be.
Chazelle's master stroke is that while he takes the story off the athletic field, he leaves the athleticism in it – even the sweat, and especially the blood. Fletcher pushes Andrew to the point that the young drummer bleeds from blistered hands and busted knuckles, leaving stains on snares and droplets on cymbals like a violent crime has just taken place. And while Teller's performance earns the sweat, he isn't the only one flexing his physicality.
Simmons is like a cobra, lithe and sinewy, as he moves around the room listening to – and stopping and starting and stopping and starting – the music, until he's in Andrews face with fangs bared and ready to consume the boy for being off rhythm so slightly, only someone of Fletcher's calibre could hear it.
The film's only weak point involves a romantic interest for Andrew. As his confidence increases, Andrew gets up the nerve to ask movie theater employee Nicole (Melissa Benoist) on a date. She says yes, a romance blossoms, but the romance must end because it takes a way from Andrew's focus on being one of the greats. In a film that does something different with other clichés, it sticks to the old playbook here, which adds nothing of value to the film and at times gets in the way.
With a fabulous jazz score, incredible direction from Chazelle, and precision editing from Tom Cross (editing that the film lives and dies with, and oh how it lives), Whiplash is like nothing I have seen before. The title might refer to one of the songs from the film, but as the closing credits roll, it isn't surprising I grabbed the back of my neck and wondered what hit me.

Rain check: British mixed martial artists in the UFC
With no UK UFC event since last October, whither British fighters in the UFC ? Michael Bisping was pencilled in as a possible TUF coach opposing Chael Sonnen, yet with the American's suspended licence being held off indefinitely by the California State Athletic Commission, Bisping's position is in limbo. Bisping is said to be "climbing the walls" waiting for his next challenge. As yet, a date mooted for a UFC event in the UK in October has not yet been confirmed.
STATUS QUO OF UK fighters in the UFC
Mike Bisping – Awaiting opponent. Had been pencilled to face Chael Sonnen as TUF coach
Dan Hardy. v Chris Lytle. Milwaukee. August
Ross Pearson. v Edson Barbosa, Rio, August.
Andre Winner. v Anthony Njokuani. July.
Jason Young. v Dustin Poirier. June, UFC debut at UFC 131.
Curt Warburton. v Joe Lauzon. June.
Terry Etim. Not fought for a year. Injured.
Rob Broughton. 1-0 in UFC. Out injured since October 2010.

Brad Pickett. Awaiting contest. Was supposed to be fighting Miguel Torres, but had injury. Some people say he has better wrestling than Michael Bisping. Only lost once, to Scott Jorgensen, since 2007. Clock ticking for him as a 34-year-old.

Big Show vs Alberto Del Rio - Smackdown 1/11/2013
Was really surprised by how good this match was. I'm not a big fan of either man in general, I'm a fan of Del Rio's in ring work but I've never really bought into his character or persona as a heel. This match however as a face was different. Del Rio came across as a very believable face despite the little build this was given. Great facial expressions and comebacks that were done in a mostly believable way (the beginning I felt like he got a bit too much offense in for what they were going for). This told a really simple but good story with Del Rio constantly having to fight an uphill battle against an unstoppable giant. What I really liked however was that Del Rio did not get a superman comeback ala Cena or Sheamus but had to outsmart Big Show and think on his feet in order to gain the victory. Proposes a much different type of face and one that I personally can get much more behind. Back to the match, this had some great psychology and storytelling all around. This had a few big spots here and there but this was a match centered around the story which delivered excellently. Great TV match, very good match overall. Early contender for TV match of the year.

Early in May, a 15-year-old boy walked into Dos Jefes Uptown Cigar Bar on Tchoupitoulas, asked if they sold cigarettes and purchased a pack from the machine.
That boy was assisting agents with the state Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control, however, and the purchase landed Dos Jefes in front of the city Alcohol Beverage Control board on Tuesday morning, along with several New Orleans other bars in the first wave of a three-year, federally-funded enforcement effort.

Thanks for you post. You are right. It does seem difficult to determine if we are related. If we are, it would likely be prior to their moving to North America. The "first appearance" of the Grandles from which I come is in the Shenandoah Valley of VA in the late 1700's. Obviously, they were somewhere before that, which is why I have been looking at other possible spelling variations.

Video of a topless Jackie Chamoun landed online this week, causing quite a stir for the beautiful Olympian in her home country of Lebanon.
Despite a two-hour parade of musical tributes featuring the biggest names from every genre of modern popular music, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney effortlessly stole the show at 'The Beatles: The Night That Changed America.'
With the Midwest and East Coast still getting pummeled with snow, some administrators have come up with new and fun ways to announce their school closings. Like a "Bohemian Rhapsody" parody, for example.
The indie-rock duo Broken Bells covered the Beatles' 'And I Love Her' on 'Late Show With David Letterman' last night and threw in a sample of ''I Am the Walrus' for good measure. You can watch a video of their performance above.
Stevie Nicks' 2011 album 'In Your Dreams' marked a solid return for the legendary singer-songwriter. But it wasn't a total solo project. Nicks received much help from producer Dave Stewart, the former Eurythmics multi-instrumentalist who's worked with Mick Jagger, Tom Petty and Ringo Starr.
Intuit QuickBooks have paired the rambunctious playtime of little girls with the raucous sounds of a classic Slade song in their new ad campaign for 'Goldie Blox,' which you may have seen and heard in a high-profile Super Bowl commercial last night. If you missed it, you can watch it above.

/ Heavy Traffic on Point Five Gully on Saturday
At least 4 parties on/gearing up for the route, and as you can see in the photo one person leading up directly below someone seconding.
There was no-one on any of the routes either side of Point Five.
Too me this seems a bit insensible and dangerous - what with ice fall down the chimney etc. (Thinking back to that blog post by Will Gadd, http://willgadd.com/category/blog/ )
I did Point Five two weeks ago but we had the route to ourselves. I wouldn't like to be below anyone on it - surely it would be better to go for plan B, Indicator Wall, Hadrian's, Smith's or some such. It's just going to ruin a classic route for you if you get stuck behind/on top of people and showered by ice.
That said I got into a near rescue scenario myself stuck under (and falling off) the cornice atop Smith's in the blizzard that developed later that day so maybe I'm not the best judge of Winter safety.
Brr. Glad you came through it OK. Did you see the cornice capers on Simon Richardson's blog recently? (See "A day of adventure" on Scottishwinter.com.)
Thanks, I'll have to write the whole affair up after a certain period of introspection. Seeing a 22cm screw in to the hilt in what seemed to be good ice blow and lying upside down in the lee of a monster cornice was a bit unsettling...
Had a look at that blog - sounds fun, had an experience like that with a cornice before! Luckily it went well that time.
Anyway, what do people think of that amount of traffic of Point Five? Fair game or another example of what Gadd was talking about?
We did Central Gully RH, tho would have gone for Green had it not been so busy. It wasn't especially a safety decision we are just anti social.
Central Gully was fab FYI.
I've seen Point Five busier than that! People do seem reluctant to change objectives, I guess given its iconic status and current easy condition this isn't too surprising.
Anti-social would have been if you'd gone from Green anyway, pressurising those above when you joined them at the belay, and kicking ice on those below ;-)
I have a picture of you on route to the epic with the monster cornice ! we done tower scoop then an awful traverse onto tower ridge with spooky snow and we noticed you hadn't moved for a while and trying to traverse. Team behind us on tower ridge, up which we finished, were rescued next morning after what must have been a horror show of a night out in them conditions.
Never been that spooked by dodgy snow before.
Team behind us on tower ridge, up which we finished, were rescued next morning after what must have been a horror show of a night out in them conditions.
I was in Glen Coe as the storm blew through. Was rough when I left the Clachaig that night. But slept in the car and when I got out at 3/4am the weather was mercifully good - no wind (at glen level), stars out, not too cold and good visibility by starlight. By 7am it had clouded over + the wind had picked up. Glad to hear the team on Tower Ridge were ok, can't have been an easy night.
The guy leading up behind the second must be an absolute muppet! Having someone so close behind you like that must really distract from the pleasure of climbing the route.
> ... Central Gully was fab ...
No surprises there then. I'll take it any day over Green.

Detroit Today
Detroit Today brings you fresh and perceptive views and brings you into the conversation each day.
A Metro Detroit attorney is arguing in federal court that New York City's Central Park is in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Attorney Richard Bernstein, who is blind, was severely injured months ago when he was hit by a bicyclist while trying to cross into the park. He says it's because New York officials refuse to create any access points across bike lanes -- and he's pushing for a change that could affect Michigan parks as well. Bernstein tells WDET's Quinn Klinefelter the urgency of the situation was highlighted again this past weekend at an event in Central Park…

I have already called T-MObile support and no change to my service.
I normally get 3G service but for the past 5-6 days all I can muster is EDGE .
The internet is completely useless on EDGE and I don't bother even trying to connect if it does
not show 3G speeds.
I have updated my Firmware and software version, but no change, just a constant EDGE connection
that varies from 4 bars and less. I am using a signal booster for cell phone signals in my house and it
appears to be the only reason I get 4 bars on EDGE service. The moment I move the receiver away from
my signal booster the signal bottoms out on even EDGE service.
My iPhone however maintains a 2-3 bar 3G signal in the same room.
What are you using as a signal booster?
Bought this from Amazon
I ended up having to call T-Mobile a second time to complain.
They said they sent a tech out the first time and that was nothing wrong with
tower in the area, but I was still stuck at EDGE service.
After complaining the second time, I asked them to send somebody to my house
which they said they don't do. Which seemed very wrong considering I was easily in a 3G zone
but not getting the service I was paying for.
I made it easy and said then send somebody to stand near my house and test the signal.
The next day my signal was better and it's been fairly good the last week or so. Can't really call this broadband
though as I still have to struggle with dropped signals faltering web pages as they stop and start
depending on the signal strength.
Forget updating my online games, just re-installed World of Warcraft Cataclysm, the subsequent download is
7.7 GB. This easily highlights the inherent problems with 5GB limits and people calling this sort of
connection "BROADBAND". It's not even close and puts the end user in a tight spot consistently.
Would love to work from home but not really feasible with this technology as I get very little done.
Hi KCWilson. Sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with coverage. I was excited to hear you have the latest firmware and software, because those really do help. The issue you're describing seems to be coverage related, and I'm glad it appears to have cleared up.
Also, you can check out Mobile Broadband FAQs and that might help with optimizing your experience. Mobile Broadband is designed to help you connect while you're mobile. While its tempting to use it in this way, Mobile Broadband is not designed to be a home Internet replacement. Whenever you can, you're going to want to use a traditional home broadband or Wi-Fi service for things like streaming, watching videos on Hulu or Netflix. This will help you conserve that 5 GB of high-speed.
"Whenever you can, you're going to want to use a traditional home broadband or Wi-Fi service for things like streaming, watching videos on Hulu or Netflix. This will help you conserve that 5 GB of high-speed"
I can't use traditional home broadband or wi-fi. ATT offers dsl up the road but not in my neighborhood and not for much of my community. This is the ONLY resource available. The 5gb ceilings are immensely disengenious limits imposed on users given the current trends with respect to devices and content they expect to deliver across them
Hulu+ is streaming video
Netfix Streaming
Online gaming
Updating all your software
Users will regularly go over the 5gb
T-Mobile also markets these devices as being broadband capable when they are not.
By the way short lived success, my internet is crappy again. In fact it showed me connected at 4G
yet things were still running slow..
Ive spoken with TMobile on my stick several times and nothing has changed. What do I have to do to get out of this contract?
I ran a speed test and despite my 4g stick saying I am connected at 4g, the best it could muster is at best a 1Mbps
download and 0.3 Mbps upload..
The speed test also nailed my location as to being 430 miles away in southern california.
Uh.. what gives?

Hi there. If you're using speedtest.net, I believe can choose your server to test with. T-Mobile cannot control what location the speed testing software or web page assigns.
Also, check out the Mobile Broadband FAQs, as there are many things that can factor in to the speed you're getting. Mobile Broadband is a fantastic broadband-on-the-go service, but wasn't designed to be a home Internet replacement.
>>but wasn't designed to be a home Internet replacement.
what has that got to do with me not even getting at minium the 3g service I am paying for?
The device has been completely off this month and I have barely used it due to repeatedly being
on EDGE service rather than the 3G I should be getting.
I can literally sit in the same room with my iPhone 4 and get 3-4 bars of 3G.
I found some more information that may assist you. The signal booster you purchased works on the 850/1900 MHz frequencies. T-mobile runs our EDGE network on the 850/1900 MHz frequencies. For our 3G/4G technology, T-Mobile uses the 1700/2100 MHz frequencies. Since the EDGE network will be much stronger due to the boosting, the device will prefer it.
I would try disabling the signal booster and testing close to a window. If you are able to pick up 3G signal at that point, that was the main issue.
Also, T-Mobile has partnered with Cel-Fi for signal boosters that work with T-Mobile's 3G/4G network.
Hope this helps!

Google Tweaks iOS Search App With Bigger Font, More Speed
If you're an iOS device user, you'll probably notice that the search results in Google's search app look a little different next time you search. Google says the font has been enlarged to make search results easier to read.
It's not just about bigger text; now, the entire result is clickable, not just the underlined blue text from the old display.
One other change: Google has turned off the "Just Talk" feature that was previously on by default. It allowed searching by voice without first tapping the microphone icon, but Google says that turning it off may improve the app's performance.
Overall, Google says its iOS app is now running up to 20% faster than before.

Question: I was just wondering if Leslie Hope or Julie Ann Emery will be back on Commander in Chief and what the reasoning behind their departures was. I think both of these actresses are underrated, and I know series creator Rod Lurie was a fan of theirs. Now I fear that Steven Bochco has already influenced the show in a negative light by casting off talented actors like Hope and Emery and bringing in actors like Mark-Paul Gosselaar.
Answer: Nothing wrong with our NYPD Blue pal Gosselaar, but the show is going through a fascinating (and unprecedented for a brand-new hit) transformation right now. From a purely story point of view, Hope's and Emery's departure made sense. Hope's character defied the president and was sacked, and Emery's agent made a mistake in handling the president's daughter and was reassigned. If Rod Lurie were still running the show, there's no reason to think he wouldn't have found a way to bring them back in a different capacity. He's famously loyal to actors.

To play the role of a morally and ethically challenged Hollywood producer in David Mamet's showbiz satire State and Main, character actor David Paymer had a specific exec in mind. But when asked the identity of said industry big shot, Paymer regrettably takes the high road.
"If I answer this totally honestly, then I no longer work for a certain person," hedges the Oscar- nominated star of Mr. Saturday Night. "But the truth is, it's more of an amalgam of people I have run into — and not just producers."
Still, Paymer concedes that he has yet to encounter anyone as flat-out demonic as his State and Main alter ego Marty Rossen — whose crimes include helping cover up an affair between his film's star (Alec Baldwin) and an underage local (Julia Stiles) and berating his leading lady (Sarah Jessica Parker) for not baring her breasts on camera. "I never really have worked for someone as brutal as Marty is to

Historical Traveler Reviews Bay Club Hotel & Marina San Diego
Loved it! Would recommend!
My wife, kids and I recently stayed at the Bay Club Hotel & Marina while visiting San Diego and I was very pleased. Our room was clean and spacious and we had a wonderful view of the marina. This hotel has a special deal called the "Whale of a Deal" and it provides room accommodations, free breakfast, and 2 adult tickets to either the San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park or SeaWorld for each night's stay. Great place to stay!
Our usual hotel was booked for the day so we went looking through TripAdvisor reviews for an alternate location. I called to obtain some preliminary info and learned the last renovation was in 2000, this concerned me but the comments here indicated it was still excellent so I made a reservation.
The room we reserved was a first floor marina view. The room seemed clean though some stains could be seen in the carpet. The paint and wallpaper were in good shape as was the condition of the furniture. No obvious odors though it did seem a bit musty likely due to the location. It didn't seem too bad for a 4 year old room initially.
The sink area provides ample counter space for laying out ones bathroom articles. There are two mirrors and lighting is adequate. The tiles in the sink area showed some stains and cracks in the grout. Not terribly bad but could be updated. One nice touch is that the sink is separate from the shower and toilet area.
In the shower and toilet room, it showed obvious signs of use. The floor tiles were stained and the grout discolored. This transferred over to the shower wall tiles and grout, they have seen better days for sure. Looks like bleach has changed the beige grout to white so this color discrepancy doesn't help in the presentation of the room. To their credit, I didn't see any mold but between the discoloration, this was difficult to tell. I wasn't about to try and scrape any off to find out. The toilet flushes with a vengeance so close the lid or you may get splattered.
Speaking of the toilet, the shower room and sink area is void of real towel racks. The fresh towels are folded into holders. The other bath towels were draped over the toilet disabled persons handrails. These are low and right next to the toilet bowl. (Aim well and close the lid otherwise those towels may be absorbing something else.) After using, there is no real place to hang them so you toss them on the floor or make a space for them elsewhere. Poor thought here.
We also could hear the guests in the room next to us. It wasn't obnoxious yet you could hear the faint mumbling of a discussion and the TV. The A/C unit is yet another adding to unwanted sounds. When it starts up, it begins with a low sharp humm then you hear the fans go on. After being startled awake more than enough times, we opted to shut it off.
Another noise concern was the planes and helicopters from the Coronado air base. I was told they didn't fly over frequently so it wouldn't be a bother. At 5:30 AM we awoke to the guests in the room above us as their walking caused the floor to creak and groan. About an hour later the sound of jet engines from the S.D. airport added to this. We resorted to some 30db ear plugs which she was able to sleep fine with. I wasn't so lucky as I heard the planes faintly then on.
After enduring this, we were looking forward to the made to order egg and pancake breakfast which we had been told is offered. When we came to the restaurant: bread/muffin tray, instant cereals, scrambled eggs, Denver type omelet, bacon, sausage, potatoes, some sort of breakfast burrito and a fruit tray with fruits not near ripe. The overall quality was not what it should be. When asked about this, we learned they changed the day before. The person taking my reservation knew what date we were arriving and this felt like a bait & switch. We were told that this will be the breakfast format from now on.
The final nail was the $5 charge for parking. So adding up all the things we didn't get, the value dropped significantly. The area is nice but even the marina view can't make up for the creaky floors, jet engines, stained shower room and change of breakfast.
Clean, Comfortable and a Good Value
Just returned from a September 2004 weekend at the Bay Club with my wife and infant daughter. The hotel is on the peninsula known as "Shelter Island." Our room was on the second floor overlooking the Marina ($139 a night plus room tax). The second floor features private balconies and includes a refrigerator, hair dryer, iron & ironing board, cable T.V., and clock radio. Rooms at the front of the hotel look out onto the street and the water beyond. The hotel is immaculately clean and comfortable, but a little dated. The furnishings are rattan with a palm tree decor. Complimentary breakfast is included with the price of your room and includes an omelet station, coffee, juices, toast, bagels, bacon or sausage, french toast or pancakes, breakfast potatos, and cereals. Parking is $5 per day. The parking lot is subterranean with elevators going to the room levels. There is a bar and restaurant on the premises as well as a pool. The staff is friendly and unlike some luxury high rise hotels, you can actually open the windows here and enjoy the views and the weather.
We recenlty took a trip to San Diego and stayed at the Bay Club ands Marina on Shelter Isalnd. We had young ( 5 mos to 4 years) kids going to Lego land..a handful, The breakfast that came with the room was great!... omelettes, pancakes, bacon... ...but the staff throughout from the booking agent to the front desk, maids to waitpersons ( esp the waitperpsons) were really exceptional, they even remember the names of our kids from the previous morning when we returned the next day for another of their great breakfasts. The maids were great in switching towels to pulling back the beds and arranging the stuffed animals cutely on the bed with mints. They really added to the trip through their helpfulness and kindness. Good location and the views of the Marina beautiful.
Very nice hotel
Very nice hotel stayed there two nights when we arrived in san diego and one night before we left. First two nights had a room with two queens, nice size very clean. Front desk personal very helpful and very pleasant. Free breakfast was good they have a lady that makes fresh omelets or eggs to order and sausage,bacon , pancakes french toast, bagels, toast, coffee , and juices are available. Called from san fran three days before arriving back in s.d. and they secured us an even nicer suite room for our last night in s.d. An added bonus was that Humphries hotel is just down the block and from our pool deck we could see and hear the big name bands that were playing there for free, the first two nights we saw Heart, can't ask for much better.
Good week....
I just got back from a week at the Bay Club and I have no complaints! All the staff, from the front-desk to the restaurant to the bar were magnificent. The room was clean every day; the location was great being next door to a concert venu (heck, we listened to Natalie Merchant, Chris Isaak, and many other concerts from the pool) - all in all a great vacation. Would recommend to anyone...
At $89 a good deal
If you can get a rate of $89/night or less this is a super deal for 2 people. With the cooked-to-order omlet station and other breakfast goodies, this adds up to a bargain. Parking on site is $5/night extra, but this is a pretty safe neighborhood to leave a vehicle on the street. A big plus is the location: close enough to the airport, and yet on a quiet stretch near the water. Great early-morning walk around the "island".
Quiet hotel, outdated, great breakfast, nice views
We stayed at this hotel which is very close to the airport but seems so far away because it is quiet and sits by the marina aka: shleter island. This hotel was nice but needs updating. It was just old that is all you can say--clean though. The breakfast was great-meat and eggs for the Atkins gang and the kids had fruit and toast etc. This was included with the room which helps to start the day. The room was very spacious-we had a suite with our 4 kids was nice. 2 tvs and lots of privacy. I do feel like there were only older people at this hotel-we saw a few people with grandkids-not many families like us but we didn't mind. You are literally right on the marina so the kids liked to see the boats but they would not let you go to the docks to look at them which was a bummer. Parking was super easy and the staff could not have been nicer. Just update a bit and make a few kid friendly changes and it would be great. I got a great rate from a new place i discovered called Sandiegoconcerige. They told me about this shelter island when so many things were booked. Worked out well.
Plus Value
We have stayed at this hotel on more than one occassion with our 6 year old grand daughter. The rooms are clean, near the bay and some have a Marina view.
Centrally located for beach, zoo and Sea World. Covered parking and hot breakfast makes a prime value.
Remember you are not paying $400 per night.
Cathedral City,CA
Hated the Bay Club!
The Bay Club Hotel is by far the "Worst" notion of the word "Hospitality" that I have ever experienced. The food/bar servers are indignant, the mgm't. inept and the food is horrific. This place survives solely by it's wonderful location at the San Diego bay.
In my opinion, the Bay Club Hotel is the very "Worst" bet for your vacation dollars.
PS...The room was clean. That's the only good thing that I can say!
