A Project of the Wyoming State Historical Society
November 24, 1890
In a successful bid for election by the Wyoming Legislature to the U.S. Senate, Francis E. Warren resigns as the state of Wyoming's first governor after just six weeks in office.
While most visitors to Guernsey State Park come to fish, camp and explore, at this park near Guernsey, Wyo., they will find several high-quality examples of historic Civilian Conservation Corps architecture. These structures, made of local sandstone with hand-forged iron and hand-hewn logs, were built during the Depression of the 1930s as part of efforts by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Congress to put people back to work and preserve America's natural resources.
Brimmer Point, the Castle and the Guernsey Museum offer excellent views of the park as well as opportunities for close-up looks at the fine craftsmanship of the CCC buildings, known for reflecting the natural beauty that surrounds them.
The museum, on a high cliff overlooking the water, boasts a roof of hand-split cedar shakes and a floor of smooth flagstones. The Castle, with its giant fireplace and winding steps, leads to an observation area with a great view of the park and reservoir.
The CCC also constructed many of the roads, bridges and trails that wind throughout the park, taking advantage of the region's spectacular panoramas.
The reservoir, first filled in 1927 following the construction of the Guernsey Dam and Power Plant, was created on federal land purchased for the North Platte River project by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Visitors today can enjoy a lakeshore drive and a skyline drive. Lake Guernsey State Park was named a National Historic Landmark in 1997. The Oregon Trail Ruts and Register Cliff are located nearby.

"The L Word" Recaps 4.9 "Lacy Lilting Lyrics"
Still in the boudoir — Phyllis is trying to get Leonard to leave Alice's apartment. He has just one more question. He grabs Phyllis and presents her to the Helena-Papi-Alice-Tasha panel:
Leonard: Is she not the most beautiful woman you have ever seen? And the most brilliant? So how the hell am I supposed to get over her?
Phyllis: I'm not really that great. Tell him, Alice.
Alice: Oh, Phyllis. You are great. You're amazing. You're beautiful. She's beautiful, Leonard.
Phyllis: But I'm a lesbian.
Alice: Yeah. Yeah, you're one of those, too.
Helena says Leonard is fantastic too. Alice says, "He's great," and Phyllis assures Leonard that if she was ever going to be with a man again, she'd be with him. Everyone looks moved. I wonder if Alice is ever going to answer the door again.
Phyllis and Leonard finally leave. Alice asks, "Who needs a drink?" — and three hands pop up.
A fond farewell — Shane has an early birthday present for Shay: It's an iPod. Gross Gabe interrupts and helps Shay hook up the headphones.
Shane tells them they should go. Gabe finally takes the hint and lets her have her moment with Shay.
Shane: I want you to be good to yourself. And you know I'm always here if you need me. So don't forget that. I probably should have given you a better haircut.
I just had a premonition of Shane in her old age, tugging at her own wig and repeating, "I probably should have given you a better haircut."
But really — this is horribly sad. After Gabe and Shay drive away, Shane breaks down. That is some very heartfelt sobbing, Kate Moennig. Well done.
Not as heartfelt — Max and Grace are chatting about Max's job situation. Max knows his boss is just going to make his life miserable until he gives up and quits. Grace thinks that's a good idea anyway, but Max says he can't afford to quit. Will somebody please turn on the Joyce Wischnia bat signal? We miss you, Joyce!
The phone rings. It's someone asking for Moira. Grace is confused, so Max says, "That's me." This is sorta like the moment someone came to the door asking for "Jeremy" in Better Than Chocolate, only somehow infinitely less interesting. Where's Wendy Crewson when you need her?
The caller is Max's sister, Maggie. She has bad news: Max's mom has died. And it gets worse. Maggie doesn't want Max to come to the funeral because it would be too uncomfortable for their dad.
Max: You know what, Maggie? It's not up to you, OK? F— off.
Sigh. It actually looks much more dramatic than it was; it was just very forced, as is the rest of the scene. I'm sorry, Max. I've really tried to get on board, but what can I do if you insist on this kind of flat, strained, wholly soporific line delivery?
Grace tells Max he has to go to the funeral and offers to go with him.
Max: Why would you do that? I mean, you barely even know me.
Grace: It's what I'd want someone to do for me.
I like you, Grace. Try to hook up with a different character so I can stay awake during your scenes.
A real slumber party — Alice, Tasha, Helena and Papi are still in bed, but now they're drinking. Alice, ever the Pollyanna, thinks they helped Leonard. Tasha and Helena know better.
Alice says Papi's break is over:
Alice: Who's the girl?
Papi: First of all, there's no girl. She's a woman. And second, she's special. So, if you don't mind, I'd like to respect her privacy.
Groan. Pass the bottle.
There's a buzzing noise: Somebody's cell phone is vibrating. Alice says, "Wait, I feel it," as Tasha feels for it under the covers. Um, you know what I mean.
It's Helena's phone. Catherine is calling. At first, everyone teases Helena just for being generally smitten, but they soon have a different reason to mock her: Catherine wants Helena to pick up her dry cleaning.
Alice: What? You're picking up her dry cleaning?
Papi: Sprung!
I hope that's all it is. I hope Helena doesn't eventually end up needing to be sprung in a different way. As in "from jail."
Helena insists she's just doing Catherine a favor. Papi mimics her in an English accent that's much better than any other pseudo-accent she has affected this season. But I'll give you a little credit, Papi. You seem to be having fun hanging out with these three, and you're even being an OK friend to them. Just don't say, "It ain't even like that" again, OK?
Another cell phone buzzes. I giggle. It's Alice's this time; Shane is calling.
Alice: Oh, my God. We've been having a party in bed all day.
Papi: Shane, come over!
But Shane is in no mood to party. She tells Alice that Shay left and asks her to come meet her. She's on the corner of Sunset and Harper, under another Shane-in-underpants billboard.
Shane: [staring up at the billboard] Fahhkk.

Jill had sleeve gastrectomy surgery in June 2013 and has lost 56 lbs. At the time of surgery, she was a size 20/22. Just six months later she was a size 14!
Since losing the weight, she no longer needs medications to control diabetes and joint pain.
Jill has always enjoyed playing Twister® with her grandson. However, they used to play a little different; they would walk the color dots. Recently, Jill discovered that she can now play the normal way by getting on the floor and she can easily get up off the floor. She is very proud of this accomplishment – one she wasn't sure she'd be able to do again only months ago.

Oh how we love some extra sparkle this time of year! When our newest accessory line, Untamed Petals by Amanda Judge arrived this week, it felt like Christmas came early.
These headpieces and sashes are a refreshing mix of boho charm meets classic bridal elegance. Plus, we are kind of girl crushing on the designer. Amanda Judge was working in sales and marketing when she realized she needed a creative outlet. So she made some headpieces for fun and put them on Etsy. Fast forward three years and Untamed Petals is now one of the top selling bridal accessories in the industry!
We couldn't be happier Amanda Judge took a chance years ago on her passion project as we are so excited to share with you all these pretty polishing peices.

The Ford Focus SVT was a limited production vehicle. It was developed by Ford's Special vehicle team or SVT for short. It was the goal of SVT to develop a performance version of the standard Ford Focus. It was only available in the 2002 to 2004 car model. The 2002 Ford Focus SVT was only available in the 3 door hatchback model. It was initially only available in black, silver, red, or blue. Ford only made 4,788 that year.
Ford saw how successful the car was. They later offer in 2003 the option for the 5 door hatchback model. The 2003 car model saw the option for the European package, which gave the Focus SVT the European ST170 rim, HID headlights, and Recaro race seats with full leather interior. The color options for this year was black,silver, red, blue, yellow, or orange. Ford produced 6,158 that year which was an increase over the previous year.
2004 was the last year for the Ford Focus SVT. Ford was not able to continue the Ford Focus SVT model given it based on the zetec engine platform, which Ford decided to stop offering after that model year. Ford saw a drop in sales that year and only produced 3,057.
The production numbers for 2002 4,788
The production numbers for 2003 6,158
The production numbers for 2004 3,057
Total made for the three years 14,003

From the creators of Allods Online comes another MMORPG which sucks you into an immersive world and shows what today's technology can do. It will take a while until the game comes out, but, according to the developers, the wait will be worthwhile.
Skyforge is an upcoming roleplaying game that not only features mystical creatures in a fantasy setting, but also adds futuristic technologies to the mix. The game studios responsible for this free-to-play title are Allods Team and Obsidian Entertainment. Although both developers have not gone into great detail about Skyforge's game mechanics, they are planning to release the MMORPG in 2014. Judging from the first gameplay trailer, everything looks pretty polished and clean already, making us all the more excited for the final product.
According to the official website, Skyforge will offer 15 different classes. While that is all the information we have so far, we are happy to see more than just the the four archetypes - Warrior, Priest, Scout and Sorcerer. The online game features vast landscapes, one more varied than the next. If you are interested in speedy means of travel, you might want to invest in a mount. How about a flying unicorn made of metal? Sounds intriguing, if you ask us. Speaking of winged creatures - dragons will also make an appearance in this free-to-play title. There is no word on whether the fiery beasts are here to help you or wipe you off the face of the earth. Should the latter be the case, you will have to group up with other players to get rid of the monsters that are threatening to kill everyone you know and love. Harmony needs to be restored and various factions are seeking to be reunited. Will you be the one to help them out?
No matter which class you end up with, every character has access to unique talents that either debuff your enemies' attributes, weaken their morale or heal your allies. Depending on the situation, you will have to switch out special abilities and always protect others from harm. If you find yourself battling it out against several mobs at once, try using talents that cause area-of-effect damage. That will show them not to mess with you! Other than that, you should always keep an eye on your vitality. Whenever your hit points reach a low point, drink a potion or seek shelter in one of the many cities, villages and camps that Skyforge has to offer.

Coffee-bean exports from Indonesia's southern Sumatra, the main growing region in the world's third- biggest robusta producer, declined for the third straight month in March due to limited supplies.
Overseas sales from Lampung, Bengkulu and South Sumatra provinces, which grow mostly robusta, declined to 5,070 metric tons last month from 5,358 tons in February, according to data released today by the Lampung trade and industry office.
Falling shipments from the Southeast Asian country may help to extend the 12 percent rally this year in London on the price of the bitter-tasting robusta variety used in instant drinks, because of fewer cargoes from Vietnam, the largest producer. Brazil is the second-biggest grower and Indonesia ranked third.
"There aren't too many beans available as supplies only came from plantations on the low-lying areas that have an early harvest with small quantities," said Mochtar Luthfie, head of research and development at the Lampung branch of the Association of Indonesian Coffee Exporters and Industry. This year's main harvest would run from May to July, with a smaller crop through September, he added.
The three provinces account about 75 percent of supplies from Indonesia. The beans were shipped from Panjang port in Lampung.
May-delivery robusta futures fell 0.3 percent to $2,030 a ton on the NYSE Liffe Exchange in London at 3:28 p.m. Jakarta time.

May 1, 2013
Operation Lifesaver (OL), Canada's national public rail safety program, launched the 11th annual Public-Rail Safety Week (PRSW), a nationwide initiative aimed at raising awareness among Canadians of the safety implications around railway lines. Various safety and policing measures have been put in place by railways to prevent collisions involving trains and motor vehicles at rail crossings and stop trespassing on rail property.PRSW 2013 runs from April 29 to May 5 under the theme of "A Shared Responsibility," emphasizing that Canadians play an important role in rail safety. During PRSW, OL partners and volunteers promote the importance of rail safety by engaging in dozens of community-level events and local activities, including school presentations, crossing blitzes and mock collisions."This year's theme, 'A shared responsibility,' means that preventing needless occurrences is a joint effort," said Mike Regimbal, national director of Operation Lifesaver. "Public-Rail Safety Week is the biggest of the many initiatives put forth by the rail industry throughout the year to promote rail safety and if the public learns about best practices, there's no reason why we can't avoid these incidents."According to polling conducted by Leger Marketing for the Railway Association of Canada in March 2012, the vast majority (83%) of Canadians perceive railway transportation, including freight and passenger transportation, as the safest means of transportation and best for society overall compared to trucks, buses and cars.While these positive results reflect the rail sector's enviable safety record, crossing and trespassing incidents across the country are on the rise. In 2012, there were 261 railway crossing and trespasser accidents in Canada, including 78 fatalities and 53 serious injuries. Year over year, accidents increased by 10%, fatalities by 11% and serious injuries by 23%. Moreover, the rates of fatalities and serious injuries were both higher than the five-year average from 2007 to 2011.Rail statistics are compiled monthly by the Transportation Safety Board.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 416 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by NELLA Best service superb staff I couldn't find any flaws at this W hotel! You definitely get what you pay for. My second time at this property and I'm sure it won't be the last! We had an amazing time and I'm sure I will stay there again when in South Beach. Clean, luxurious and a great vibe! LOVE LOVE LOVE! December 10, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by SPGCheerleader Pleasantly Surprised With a hotel this big, you would think the service may suffer (my experience at other very large W properties). Quite the contrary at this location. The service staff steps it up to meet and exceed all expectations. September 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by debby812 Great stay in South Beach The W south Beach is an A+ hotel. Traveled with 12 16 year old girls. Staff was incredible to the girls! Rooms are great,service great, pool and beach awesome! April 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LDD31 Superb Location W South Beach truly is a funky, cool hotel that offers the 5 star service one would expect from the W brand. The location is superb - far enough away from the overhyped Ocean Drive strip but close enough to observe from afar and enjoy the north end of beautiful South Beach. Easily walkable to the local malls and restaurants (although with the quality of the Dutch and Mr Chow on-site one doesn't need to stray far!). Staff couldn't be more professional and attentive, extremely friendly - think they make the hotel. Fantastic suite really was fantastic (small kitchen was brilliant). Only real criticisms of the hotel are the loud air conditioning unit in the bedroom and the daily charge for internet use in the suite. Thanks for a wonderful stay, hopefully see you again in the future. A very happy UK guest! September 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JTERZI Staff EXCELLENT The staff lead by Mr. Marc was excellent throughout my stay. This is the only hotel I would stay in South Beach. I highly recommend and send people all the time!!! September 16, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by spal Best stay ever We went to the W South Beach for our 2 year Anniversary and really had the best time. April 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Honeys2 It was great! We had a great honeymoon at the W South Beach Miami! The pool was awesome and the burgers were great poolside. My wife really liked the lights in the room -- very fashionable! May 23, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Ruthy Not happy with check in I booked through SPG and was told I could check in as a Gold member as early as 10am. I was NOT told if there was room availability. I understood at 10 am I could check in. I arrived and had to sit in lobby until my room was available and it was 2pm! The hotel was packed, pool felt like sardines. No pool chairs available had to be on a 2 hour waiting list!!!!! Very few chairs at pool. The person who booked me did not clarify what I could check in at 10 am really meant. IT started my vacation on a bad note and we left early the next morning. August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mary1350 Hospitality suite issues The suite with only one bath area yet 2 living areas does not work when multiple people show at same time. PErhaps there is a way to ask guests when they intend to use it so you can see where demand is and at least staff it accordingly. The place was a mess and not stocked. tons of empty bliss bottles in shower…. all used up…. no soap so had to use drop of shampoo I could happened squeeze out of one of the used bottles…..The attendant should be giving each guest a set of towels and new bliss products upon arrival. Also the hair dryer needs to be in the bath area not in living room after you are all dressed and resigned to not dry your hair…. March 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Turbinwatson Beautiful and excellent service Great experience! Excellent location. Very fast attention on the front desk. Nice disposition to service. Great choice. Best in Miami Beach, excelent sea view January 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MMFL Hotel was very nice Enjoyed my stay. The staff was excellent April 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JD55 Outstanding Hotel Everything at the Hotel met or exceeded our expectations from start to finish. April 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DBUSBY Needs to take better care of SPG PLATINUM Members It was an act of God and way way too much work and effort on my part to get an upgrade and to be even treated in any way as a platinum spg hotel owner April 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by RedmondCouple Great place in SouthBeach This hotel is 1st class, from the moment you walk in the lobby to the room, pool facilities & beach. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We had a slight inconvenience at the beginning or our stay, upon checking late at night (11:30 pm) we were given a suite on the 3rd floor above the restaurant area with little to no view of the beach. We were told that because we checked in that late, the better rooms had already been assigned but to check the next morning for a possible change. The next morning we went to the front desk and Shari suggested to check out from our current room and to wait for rooms to become open. At 5 pm (a little longer than we wanted to wait) our room was ready. We were given a suite on the 14th floor with a great view, the wait was worth it. The staff at all locations in the hotel were very friendly and attentive. The facilities are 1st class from the restaurant to the beach chairs to your room. You need to be aware that this is an expensive place, drinks are $18 each; but we thought it was worth it with the luxury that surrounded us. We will definetely consider staying there again when we go back to South Beach March 10, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by GGE4Real The BEST W Hotel - bar none! great hotel in a great location with excellent service and staff! December 6, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rob23 Good, but not Excellent This hotel was good and excellent but has the ability to be outstanding. They should recognize their Platinum and Gold members more. Also, receiving an early checkin is practically nonexistent and receiving an late 4 PM checkout is a fight to the death. As a Gold SPG member these requests become naturally routine. Once at the property though, the service was very good to excellent. Two people standout for their commiment to excellence. Gaby(the insinder) at the front desk helped with my checkin process and Kevin at the pool was excellent in his service and attetiveness. I would recommend this hotel and I do plan to stay here again in the future. August 7, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Timm121 Wonderful stay Stayed here for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. Room was beautiful, the staff could not have been friendlier or nicer - zero sign of the typical SoBe attitude. Ate at The Dutch restaurant, which was great for dinner and fine for breakfast (eat somewhere else for breakfast as the prices are ridiculous). Only complaint is that they do allow smoking in the outdoor common areas of the property (pool, bars, etc.) which is so behind the times. Wish these places would just get with it and ban smoking altogether. Weather wasnt great while we were here, so didnt spend a lot of time at the pool, but it was nice from the time we did spend there. June 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tiffy Fun Escape It was my first time at the W. Normally stay at Ritz. Enjoyed the pool but the chairs were placed so close to each other (no space btwn). My chair was touching a women I didn't know that was eating pizza, etc. The pool service however was great. The staff made us feel welcomed and were willing to attend to every need to the best of their ability. I loved the dj, the music was really fun. The menu didn't have a lot of variety. The beach was great but service was slow. I loved the Living Room and the Gift shop had great items. Too bad that you had to walk through the gift shop to go to bathroom- made it more difficult to enjoy my shopping experience. July 18, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Familygirl2013 This hotel is too cool if you are over 25 When I booked this hotel month's ago, no one advised that it was Ultra weekend in Miami. When we checked in, the only question I was asked was "check out time is 11 am on Friday morning, will you be leaving earlier?" We had reserved a day bed for our teenage daughter. The room was too small for the bed so she slept on the small couch with the ottomans next to her so that she wouldn't fall off. The hotel shouldn't offer day beds for rooms that would surely be a fire hazard if it was set up. No one advised us that there is a nightclub in the hotel that closes at 5am. We were on the 5th floor right above the club area. Hundreds of people outside on Wednesday morning at 5:30am. No one told us that all hotel guests would be asked to leave the pool area on Thursday afternoon at 4pm so that the hotel could prepare for a concert with AfroJack. Hotel guests were not allowed to attend the concert without tickets.. We left the hotel for dinner and came back to quite a scene in the lobby. I think guests should be advised of events being held at the hotel prior to checking in. We would have opted to go to another Starwood facility in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area. If it wasn't difficult and expensive to change my flights I would have left the hotel on Wednesday when we realized what was happening. I wasn't able to get new flights so we stayed. I believe we should be compensated for the terrible experience. We knew if was spring break but wasn't aware that the hotel was being rented out for an event that really impacted the hotel for the remaining guests. I would appreciate a response. Thank you. March 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Danielle17 Very poor experience from the minute we got there First off - I am not one to ever complain - but this place needs an overhaul. From the minute we got there, we waited over 4-5 hours for our room to be ready. They gave us a room and then told us they were going to give us another room, which wasn't as nice, but that we had to wait just a few minutes - 4 hours later... we got up to the room. At this point, I was aggravated, wasted my whole first day at a lounge...not my scene. We paid a lot extra to stay at the W, hoping to get the service we would expect to get by staying at a starwood resort, but we didn't. We even paid extra for a flight to get us there early to enjoy the extra day, but ended up in a lobby for 4-5 hours. The staff was nice, but no one could ever help us. The manager gave us a credit of 250 dollars for the ungodly service, which was less than our dinner for two at Mr. Chow's (which was definitely an excellent restaurant). We were supposed to get a credit for SPG points which we never received. I ordered room service and my hamburger was raw. When the gentleman came up to get it, even he couldn't believe it looked like raw chop meat. Then I called for towels, which I didn't get until the next day, after 3 calls. I have stayed at Starwood resorts in the past - St. Regis, PR, TOP NOTCH from beginning to end - this place - the "W" couldn't touch it! I would not recommend this hotel. Overpriced for the poor service and lack of options and horrible service. VERY disappointed. I hate to complain - I'm definitely not one to complain all the time - and I'm not a hard person to please - but I couldn't let this one go. For the money we spent to stay here, it was a flop! January 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by crdesigner Very Nice hotel, nice staff but quite annoying staff Everything was really nice, check-in, etc, but as i'm a SPG platinum member, I requested a later check out 1pm which the front desk personal was very accommodating... but in the next morning from 9:30am until noon ( i decided to check out because i was completely annoyed!) i had 6 different people every 30 minutes knocking at the door to see when i was checking out... I understand that the hotel is busy but would not expect that from a hotel at this level, and I stayed in a lot of other SPG properties that this did not happen. Very disappointing November 23, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Scottedina Whatever Whenever, BUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have stayed at this Hotel 6 times. Great Location and the service from valet to the front door is the best of any SPG property. Check in can be a little slow but not that bad. The Bell men are great; they provided a great level of hotel information and offer to get you anything you may need such as ice. This W has the best rooms of any of the W I have stayed at, large rooms with a deco that is not over board. As a SPG Platinum I have been upgraded each time but over the past few stays the selection of upgradeable rooms has diminished since this is a residence. As the Hotel sells the rooms (condos) those rooms and suits are no longer available for a free upgrade but for a fee yes. NO LATE CHECK OUT!!!!! they put a letter under door stating such! The consistent problems I have had with hotel are the room maintenance and cleanliness. I have stayed in the Mega suits three times and twice the rooms have had serious problems, both times with the outside part of the room (2nd level outside level). Broken glass in the hot tub, trash from previous guests, damaged outdoor furniture, dirty and damaged outdoor kitchen. It took 3 calls to finally correct the problems except for my last stay. My last stay I paid for an upgrade to the Mega suite and again the outside level was in poor condition, the Marble counter top had a crack running almost the whole length of the counter and as wide as a third of an inch and it was dirty!!!! The pool is great, the best towel service will organized and friendly! The bar at the pool is great fast and friendly! But the food and beverage service at the pool is BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD! First it on average takes their services almost an hour to speak to you, when ordering food at this pool they often miss something you requested such as salt and pepper (with breakfast) or yellow mustard(hamburger), sorry I don't like Grey Poupon. By the time the item you requested comes your food is cold! They may want to get rid of the auto 20% gratuity; this will encourage better service. Also the wifi is horrible at the pool, the hotel is obtuse to the problem, I have mention it every time and they give me the same answer, their working on it! This is a big problem at this hotel because of the location near the ocean the cell service is poor so I depend on the wifi. March 15, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by WeekendVacation Quick weekend vacation A quick weekend get-away took a little more time to start as my room wasn't availble until around 5;00 PM. I had checked in at 2 and was told the room wasn't ready. I called around 3:30 and no news. I came to the desk at 5:00 and asked why after the 4:00 PM check-in time was my room not ready. They explained they were waiting for a better room. Since all I wanted to do was check in, it would had been nice if someone gave me the option vs having me wait for 3+ hours when I was only there for a limited time. August 18, 2014

Looking back on AMC's award winning Breaking Bad series, the only thing I regret not seeing is Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) singing. now we don't have to imagine what it might have been like thanks to the folks over at Animeme and Toonocracy. They teamed up and produced this little animated video gem. (more…)
Toys 'R' Us Pulls 'Breaking Bad' Figures, Cranston Hilariously Responds [UPDATE: Now Aaron Paul Speaks]
Thinking about giving some awesome Breaking Bad action figures to someone you love for Christmas? Well, don't go to Toys 'R' Us to get them because some Florida killjoy/mom has decided that because she thinks its inappropriate for figures marketed to adult fans and in the adult section of the store to be sold in Toys 'R' Us stores. Hey, it's only the country's largest retailer, am I right? Whose going to go to Toys 'R' Us first to buy action figures? So anyway, Spartacus won, and had the whole kit and kaboodle of figures from Mezco Toys have been pulled from the shelves. But don't think that this whole thing is going to end quietly, or without the input of a key figure from the Breaking Bad saga. (more…)
With the pending home video release of Gareth Edwards' 2014 reboot of Godzilla coming to a retailer near you in another week, we pause to do some navel gazing at all the things that he did wrong in the film. YEAH! Take that Edwards. You may be still growing as a filmmaker, and Godzilla was only your second movie, but since you didn't make the Godzilla movie we all had playing in our heads we're going to tear you a new one! Ahem. Now that I've got that out of my system, let's introduce a couple of new videos to hit the interwebs today. On the one hand we have a judicious You Tuber who edited together all the Godzilla and MOTU bits in two vids that show how little screen time they all got, and secondly, Honest Trailers has put together a – well – honest trailer for Godzilla. (more…)
Godzilla has had a career unlike any star of the silver screen. Debuting in 1954, Ishirō Honda's Gojira was a somber, bleak and quite realistic depiction of the sheer destructiveness of nature (itself an allegory for humanity's own penchant for destruction). From there, some 27 films later, the franchise has gone through many iterations. Sometimes Godzilla's simply a monster, sometimes a hero, sometimes he's truly terrible and frightening, and other times a chintzy, campy joke. Yet though all of it, Godzilla endures. [Minor SPOILERS follow.] (more…)
The marketing folks behind Legendary Pictures new Godzilla remake have been teasing the king of the Kaiju in its trailers and spots. Leaving star Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad's Walter White) to voice over cuts of destruction and humanities defenselessness to sell the picture. If that hasn't been enough to fill your eye holes, maybe this latest trailer detailing the story and featuring a number of money shots will get you to throw money at the screen. And if that still isn't enough, we have the films first featurette spotlighting the giant creatures epic roar.
Strangely titled "Nature Has an Order" (which would lead one to believe that it'd just be thirty seconds of Gojira stomping on that ass), the latest TV Spot for Gareth Edwards' redux of Godzilla features more narration from Bryan Cranston. Only this time, instead of warning us about the government's lies (in his best Ozymandias tone), he quickly illustrates the inherent human tragedy the apocalypse carries with it. Yet again, Warner Bros. and Legendary have put together an incredible piece of marketing that continues to sell Edwards' film as the must-see movie of Summer 2014.
There was once a Godzilla toy that stood about 2 to 3 feet tall, spit paper fire and bizarrely fired his fist like a projectile; it's rare, it's fondly remembered, and it's about to get some competition from a brand new version of the King of Monsters, a toy made to promote the upcoming movie from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures. (more…)
The first Godzilla trailer did a wonderful job establishing the mood and atmosphere for Gareth Edwards' entry into the 60 year franchise. It also gave a damn good impression of how enormous and terrifying the radioactive monster would be, but nothing gets across how truly frightening a giant kaiju is like Bryan Cranston's performance in this latest trailer. (more…)
Bryan Cranston spent most of his time in this on set visit teaching Entertainment Tonight Canada how to roar like Godzilla. Which is just about the only thing worth watching for most Godzilla fans. (more…)
Well, we may have hit the jackpot with this one, should this turn out to be 100% true, but a fairly reliable source is claiming they have the skinny on the casting of Lex Luthor for the upcoming Batman vs. Superman flick. And it turns out it's someone that we've all been routing for – Bryan Cranston. (more…)

fried chicken/sonoma
are there any "fried chicken places" in Sonoma? All I can find is KFC. Would prefer Santa Rosa area, but I am certainly willing to drive for good fried chicken. Thanks in advance.
re: foodeye
thanks, foodeye.........Freement Diner is not far away....I didn't know that they had fried chicken on the menu.
re: pinotho
I had the "Nashville Hot Chicken" at Fremont Diner last saturday. Probably not worth a long, long drive for, but certainly very good. Be warned, especially if you are making a drive, they attract crowds and there can be a wait.
It's nowhere in the league of heat of true Nashville chicken, but has a nice cayenne kick to it. The breast was a little dry, but the dark meat was great. All of it has a nice satisfying crust. They also serve chicken & waffles so I assume it's possible to get the chicken regular instead of hot.
re: VealParmGuy
what time of the day were you there, VealParmGuy? And, thanks for the report.
re: pinotho
About 1:30pm (give or take) on a Saturday. Was about a 15min wait IIRC. Seemed like a longer wait before we got there, and tapering off when we left.
Not Sonoma, but a nice drive over the mountain: http://www.adhocrestaurant.com/addendum/
re: foodeye
Limited hours/days, though, for Addendum. Like it mentions, call in advance to order; they do run out.
re: tre2012
the heads-up is much appreciated, Tre.....
re: tre2012
picked up the box lunch at Addendum on Saturday. They were busy, the line was always 8 to 10 deep. We got there around 1:00. The restaurant, Ad Hoc, is closed for lunch. But, in the back is a small building where you pickup your box lunch. We had pre-ordered, but that just means that you go to a separate window when you get there, at which point they start your order. We waited 30 mins for the food. The choices were fried chicken, BBQ chicken, or ribs. The fried chicken was very good. They are fryng small chickens, and butchering them such that you get small pieces, but you get 3 pieces of chicken, which is enough food. My order had a drumstick, a portion of thigh, and a portion of breast. It was fried dark, so when I looked at it, I assumed it would be dry, and I was wrong. It was very juicy, even with the dark crust, so I think the chicken is probably brined. Whatever, it is delicious. A piece of cornbread was OK, a little sweet, the sides of potatoes and greens were utterly forgettable, we were a party of five, and no one cared for those sides. I didn't pay the bill, but I believe the box lunch runs $18.00. Perhaps a little steep since all you net out of the deal is the chicken and a piece of cornbread. But, the chicken is great.
re: pinotho
But $18 great for just chicken and cornbread?
I think not...
re: pinotho
Please keep those reports coming in.
Saturday I tried a new place in Cloverdale called Railroad Station Bar and Grill (114 Railroad Ave, 707-894-4779). It's been open a couple months. "Clovertucky Fried Chicken", $17 is three pieces of chicken with braised greens mashed potatoes, veal gray and cornbread. I asked my server which pieces, and was told the thigh, breast, and drumstick.
The plate turned out to be a small thigh and a half breast cut into two pieces. I'm a dark meat kind of gal, so I was not happy about this. The breast piece without the rib cage attached was on the dry side.
BUT, on the positive side, the chicken was seasoned nicely and fried to a crunchy medium-brown. The collard greens were outstanding, not chopped but cut into large pieces and cooked to the point where they soften and stay dark green. They're seasoned with bacon. Mashed potatoes were standard and the gravy was fine. Cornbread was mildly sweet and the fluffy style.
While the burgers on the menu are grassfed beef and the menu says they're sourcing locally, the chicken right now is from a national industrial brand. I did make a request that they use local chicken in the future and was told that they're still working on sources. The price is too high for factory chicken.
This was a pretty good effort though and I'll check back to try other items. If they would use chickens that taste better and have non-mushy texture, this could be worthwhile.
re: Melanie Wong
Just noticed that Railroad Station has changed the menu description and is now using Rocky Jr for the fried chicken.
And a friend highly recommended the fried chicken Tuesdays at Solage in Calistoga. Haven't tried it myself yet.
Has anyone tried the fried chicken at Sweet T's in Santa Rosa?
Or the Monday fried chicken dinner at the Swiss Hotel? Tuesday special at Cafe 522 in Sonoma?
How about the fried chicken at Rocker Oysterfellers in Valley Ford?
And I suggest that you check out the fried chicken at the deli at the Sonoma Market. We could use an update.
I'll warn you away from the fried chicken at Willie Bird in Santa Rosa. Not good at all.
re: CarrieWas218
In Napa, the fried chicken at BarbersQ is the best I've had. I guess they're currently serving it only Sundays and Mondays.
re: CarrieWas218
dropped by Biscuits yesterday around 4:15 and they were closed. Yelp is showing that they close at 2:00 and then reopen for dinner at 5:00.
re: pinotho
I've gone to Biscuits a number of times for their chicken and waffles - as well as for their fried catfish. I like it better than Addendum's chicken; great crunchy exterior and very juicy, moist interior. They are applying for an alcohol license so it will be interesting to see if they expand their menu.
I've only been for breakfast...
If you're willing to head up to Healdsburg, the Sunday blue plate special at Zin Restaurant is skillet fried chicken.
In December or so, there was a bunch of hoo-ha over Healdsburg Bar & Grill adding Southern comfort food, including fried chicken to the menu, but I don't see it on the online menu. But there is something battered and fried in the slideshow.
Gypsy Cafe in Sebastopol has Rocky fried chicken on the dinner menu. Have heard good things about breakfast, but don't know anybody who'd had dinner there.
The old roadhouse, Washoe House, in Petaluma is known for its fried chicken and biscuits. Can't say how good it is these days.
Not quite as old as Washoe, Pete's Henny Penny, the long-time diner right off the freeway has fried chicken on the menu. Haven't been there in eons, would love to hear how it's doing.
Here's phil pinto's positive report on the fried chicken at Sweet T's in Santa Rosa,
A couple other possibilities in the chicken and waffle genre in Santa Rosa: WOW (Worth Our Weight) for weekend brunch and Viola Pastry Boutique. Also an occasional appearance on the brunch menu at Zazu.
According to Heather Irwin, fried chicken is on the menu at Rosso Pizzeria on Tuesdays.
re: Melanie Wong
Last Saturday fried chicken, $20, was on the daily big plates menu at Rosso in Santa Rosa, so I gave it a go. It's half a bird, deboned, marinated in buttermilk, and lightly battered. The impression was sort of like chicken picatta. This was sauced with an overly sugary pancetta-maple agrodolce. I would have asked for a wedge of lemon to bring it more in balance if our waitress hadn't been so busy. The chicken itself was fine, but seemed a bit flat-tasting and not that juicy. I'm not saying it was dry, as it was plenty moist, but didn't squirt with juice or have the depth of flavor of chicken cooked on the bone. IIRC, this was Mary's chicken. I did love the onion-y and dairy-rich smashed potato side that came with it.
re: Melanie Wong
which restaurant, Melanie ? Thanks for the report.
re: pinotho
Oh, good catch, thanks! I've edited . . . this was Rosso in Santa Rosa.
How's your chicken saga going?
re: Melanie Wong
I've managed to addict myself to the chicken strips at Big John's in Healdsburg. I think there is some cayenne in there. Whatever the spice is, it's very well done, very balanced. Best to you.
re: pinotho
Is this the cozy end of your fried chicken trail?
I've had the regular fried chicken (bone-in) at Big John's. Will have to try the strips next.
re: Melanie Wong
no, not the end...but I've slowed down, as my doctor has been giving me a hard time.
re: pinotho
More red wine!
re: Melanie Wong
LOL.....OK, I'll do my best !
There's fried chicken on the dinner menu at the Black Bear Diner in Sonoma. I haven't had it so I can't give an opinion, but I like everything else I've had there.
Fried chicken is on the menu tonight at Bodega's Casino Bar and Grill,
Any updates on your chicken trials?
re: Melanie Wong
Melanie, THANKS for the tip about Casino Bar and Grill. I sampled the fried chicken at Sonoma Market, their sister store Glen Ellen Market, and at the Pacific Market. All were good, but they all suffered from the fact that the deli dept fries it up and then it goes under a warming light. I'm one of those people who likes fried chicken, even when it's at room temperature, or even when it's cold, so I'm not complaining about the grocery store chicken. It's just difficult to compare chicken from a deli operation to hot fried chicken, from say Ad Hoc. One thing I liked about the grocery store chciken is paying for it by the pound.....seems to me that this was fair to the customer and fair to the store. Came close to trying the chicken at Zin on Sunday night, but they don't start up until 6:00 and we couldn't make that work. Same for Freemont Diner: got there about 3:45 and they were closed. More to follow, again certainly appreciate your tip on Casino.
re: pinotho
Was hoping to make it over to Casino myself last night, but no. Its on daily menu again today, with luck it will be offered on a night that you or I can try it.
Thanks for re-upping us on grocery store chicken. Once I got lucky to be at the deli at Sonoma Market when the new batch was coming out. But I'm like you, fried chicken is good in all its forms, just different. Those places are a good spot to pick up some for a picnic. I've not tried Pacific Market's.
How's the fried chicken quest going?
Backyard, newly opened in Forestville, has a fried chicken family dinner on Wednesday nights.
re: Melanie Wong
I need to get back to work on the fried chicken project....perhaps after Thanksgiving. Thanks for the tip on Backyard, though it won't be easy eating there on Wednesday night. I did manage to eat at Zin (Healdsburg), on a Sunday night, and I liked their fried chciken. They tried to make it a real southern style meal, as it was served with cornbread or biscuits, and green beans and mashed potatoes. A polished take on a "meat + three".....or, a "meat + 2" ,in this case. I wouldn't hesitate to do Zin's fried chicken again.
re: pinotho
The friend that told me about Backyard had the chicken and waffle on the weekend, if that makes an easier visit for you. Now he's fairly obsessed with it and keeps raving that it's the best fried chicken he's had since his grandma left this earth. She used to raise her own and fried 'em whenever he visited.
Zin's sounds great, I need to try it. Thanks for keeping on.
re: pinotho
If you haven't been to Backyard yet, you need to move it up on your bucket (o' chicken) list. It's available with a waffle for Sunday brunch too. I'd be interested in hearing how it compares to Addendum, since the chef came from Ad Hoc. Here's my post,
Friday night I gave the fried chicken pop-up dinner by Butcher & Cook a try. It uses the space at Omelette Express in Santa Rosa's Railroad Square.
The $28 dinner included four pieces, half a Mary's air-chilled chicken. This came with buttermilk cornbread, kale braised with pork belly, and hoppin' john, plus a bit of sweet-sour sauce. On a condiment table, I helped myself to some hot sauce, butter, and pickled green tomatoes.
The chicken's double-fried which doesn't do the breast meat any favors, making it parched and dry. But the thin coating on the outside gets wonderfully crackly and brown. Not much seasoning on the chicken as is, I needed to add salt and pepper and dunk it in the two sauces. The thinnish yellow-red vinegar-based hot sauce was marked as "mild" but it was hotter than that and only a dab was needed. I especially liked the sweet-sour sauce that had a genuine zing of zippy acidity and citrus notes besides being sweet. I even put it on the cornbread.
The buttermilk cornbread was the highlight of this meal. Fluffy and showing some grit, this hit a middle ground between the two poles of cornbread styles. I loved the pickled green tomatoes and onions.
On the downside, the greens were tough and too chewy, not cooked long enough to either soften or develop the full depth of flavor. Hoppin' John needed more seasoning.
They said they'll be changing up the menu to offer customers more variety.
And just ran across another one, right in Santa Rosa, the Thursday night dinner at Three Squares Cafe, Josh Silvers new place (formerly Syrah, Petite Syrah).
re: Melanie Wong
Three Squares has closed.
Red's Apple Road House in Sebastopol is a fried chicken specialist. I've only had the morning donuts (fried in lard!), but maybe someone can tell us about the chicken.
The Cheese Shop of Healdsburg has fried chicken and biscuits on Fridays. Haven't tried this either.

Don McLean Everybody Loves Me Baby Lyrics
Last updated: 09/02/2014 05:13:52 PM
<SPOKEN>: One, two, three, four!
Fortune has me well in hand, armies 'wait at my command
My gold lies in a foreign land buried deep beneath the sand
The angels guide my ev'ry tread, my enemies are sick or dead
But all the victories I've led haven't brought you to my bed
You see, everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter with you?
Won'tcha tell me what did I do to offend you?
Now the purest race I've bred for thee to live in my democracy
And the highest human pedigree awaits the first-born boy baby
And my face on ev'ry coin engraved, the anarchists are all enslaved
My own flag is forever waved by the grateful people I have saved
You see, everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter with you?
Won'tcha tell me what did I do to offend you?
Now, no land is beyond my claim when land is seized in the people's name
By evil men who rob and maim, if war is hell, I'm not to blame!
Why, you can't blame me, I'm Heaven's child, I'm the second son of Mary mild
And I'm twice removed from Oscar Wilde, but he didn't mind, why, he just smiled
Yes, and the ocean parts when I walk through, and the clouds dissolve and the sky turns blue
I'm held in very great value by everyone I meet but you
'cause I've used my talents as I could, I've done some bad, I've done some good
I did a whole lot better than they thought I would so, c'mon and treat me like you should!
Because everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter with you?
tell me what did I do to offend you? <whoo, yeah!>
Everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter with you?
tell me what did I do to offend you?
Yeah, everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter with you?
tell me what did I do to offend you?
Thanks to dkalinowsky for submitting Everybody Loves Me Baby Lyrics.
oh, it's political alright | Reviewer: Faraanak | 9/2/14
To me the tone of the poem is clearly making fun of the character/persona who has these grandiose ideas of himself, and since the ideas are largely expressed in the metaphors of politics - engraved coins, my democracy, people's name, armies at command, if war is hell I'm not to blame, it comes off as tongue-in-cheek send-up of those cliched phrases - it makes the imperialist rhetoric ridiculous by casting it as the come-on line of some self-absorbed prick. The year 1971 was an anti-imperialist period, with colonial powers everywhere in retreat, and the album title "American Pie" makes another hint (though most of the songs on the album are not necessarily about the concept of America)
Do What? | Reviewer: VirginiaGent | 9/25/12
Anti-war protest song? I believe that's reading WAY more into this than necessary. I think to most people it's a song reflecting a guy who has too high an opinion of himself who can't understand how a woman could possibly turn him down. Not unlike 99% of the males on the planet, at one time or another. "Anti-Vietnam, appropriate for Bush war period"? No. It's about a guy trying to get a girl into bed, and that's complicated enough as it is.
Viet Nam Era Protest Song | Reviewer: Robyn | 3/28/12
If I'm not mistaken, and I really could be, this was an anti war protest song from the Viet Nam 'War' era where the 'me' is the USA. Interestingly, it seems just as apporpriate for the Bush/USA/Iraq war period.
mclean - dylan | Reviewer: teez | 9/10/07
i agree with user king about the dylanesqueness (haha, what a word), i didn´t know many bob dylan songs before i listened to don´s "pie" album at the age of something like 10. after getting to know dylan now i must agree with you, anyway a great song!!
self esteem booster | Reviewer: Mike Wheeler | 8/14/07
Anybody no matter how downtrodden can have a self esteem boost by listening to this song for a while. Especially just after getting up and just before bed.
Don Allen | Reviewer: Gary Erickson | 7/22/07
Don, who wrote this song, reflects this song. Quite a man, growing up in Warren Michigan. His only child, Mark, and I were roomates in college. We sung this song karoke in 1992 at a little bar in Nango Japan.
Really great | Reviewer: King | 7/16/07
The verse/chorus order is unorthodox and the lyrics are great -- not a dead word. There's a certain Dylanesque air around the tongue-in-cheek lyrics and the not-so-perfect pitch. And it's danceable! All in all, awesome!
Amazing appropriate today | Reviewer: Martha | 6/1/07
This song has an errily prophetic quality when we consider it in light of the political course of the US in the last 6 years. I think it could be subtitled, George W. Bush's theme song.

Conch Fritters?
Where the hell can I find these? Looked all over NYC and NJ to no avail. Help me out!
I love them too but have never even heard of them outside of FL and the bad news there is that Theo Fudpucker's of Ft Pierce is no more.
They sell conch meat in a plastic bucket in Florida, so it's easy to prepare,but I've never seen it sold like that up here. I think it's similar to fresh squngilli, and some chefs on the east end will cook the meat in the shell off the boat and make something similar. Probably not now, though.
I'm from New Jersey and i'm italian and i LOVE conch. i've never had conch fritters or conch of any sort anywhere but my my house. you are probably better off just making them yourself. you can buy scugilli pretty easily at fish market. we get ours from Freeman's Fish Market in Maplewood, NJ.
re: NiKoLe1625
You can buy Conch at any fish market in Chinatown..always fresh !
Good news and bad... They have excellent ones at the Oyster House in Oyster Bay, LI. But I suspect that they are closed for the winter.
The best ones I have had other than in the Virgin Islands is from a fish market/fried seafood shack called Brewsters in Hampton Bays, LI (on Montauk Hwy). REALLY REALLY good!!!
These are really easy to make. When you can't get fresh scungilli, use the canned. I live in NJ too and I can find LaMonica canned scungilli at Shoprite all year long.
