Talking on Friday at USC's Children's Hospital. I shall do my best to be a "communicator extraordinaire."
#366) Championing Ocean Champions
September 4th, 2014
I'm a long time fan of Ocean Champions as I said in this post on Andy Revkin's NY Times blog Dot Earth a couple days ago. It's the vision thing. Dave Wilmot and Jack Sterne had a clear vision more than a decade ago which they have stuck to and created a very effective political voice for the oceans. They are true icons of environmental leadership.
CHAMPIONS OF THE OCEANS. In 2009 I did this 90 second video for Ocean Champions. They understand how the American political system works.
I met Dave Wilmot and Jack Sterne in 2003 when they were first formulating their Ocean Champions project. They had conducted a Packard-funded study asking the simple, blunt question of why the ocean conservation movement was accomplishing so little. Their conclusion was it lacked a real-world perspective on the American political system.
Out of that study they crafted a clear vision of what they felt was needed which is not another non-profit conservation group for the oceans, but rather a very different beast — a political action committee (PAC) for the oceans. They laid out their vision, they built it, and they now have a great deal of accomplishments to point to as a result. I'm such a fan of what they do that I convinced Andy Revkin to let me do a post on his blog.
And the most impressive thing they have going now is simply longevity. This is a huge attribute on Capital Hill. The vast majority of people working with environmental groups stay with an organization for a couple or a few years, then move on. Dave has been hard at it for a long time and now has the sort of relationships that translate into effectiveness.
I saw the results in 2009 when I shot a video for them. We walked into the offices of one member of Congress after another. The first thing I heard from everyone in the office, including the member of Congress, was, "Hey, Dave!"
It's called relationships. That's how real politics works. It takes time, but there is an increasingly large payoff as the relationships grow.
I can't say enough good things about Ocean Champions. They are a model for how to make things work in the real world of American politics.
#365) "The Double Helix:" James Watson Was As Savvy As George Lucas
August 12th, 2014
Whether he ever knew of Joseph Campbell's work or not, when James Watson wrote "The Double Helix," he was as tapped in to the template of the Hero's Journey as George Lucas when he created "Star Wars." In this guest essay, my Benshi editor of the past year, Steph Yin, breaks down "The Double Helix," using both the Logline Maker of our Connection Storymaker app, as well as the Story Cycle found in books like "Winning the Story Wars." I read "The Double Helix" as an undergraduate, a long time ago, yet it still sticks with me. There's a reason for that, as Steph demonstrates here.
THE DOUBLE HELIX. This classic tale of scientific discovery, like so many other timeless stories, fits snugly into the Hero's Journey.
Steph Yin graduated from Brown University last year and has been working part-time with me since then, running the Benshi and helping with my social media efforts. She's a superstar who is headed to NYU in a couple weeks to begin working on her master's degree in science journalism with this year's Pulitzer Prize winner Dan Fagin. In January she helped me run the version of our Connection Storymaker Workshop at the SICB meeting in Austin, which gave us a chance to have in-depth conversations about the elements in our Connection Storymaker app.
Out of those chats came the realization that James Watson's "The Double Helix" is a classic tale of a singular protagonist on a journey in search of a golden chalice in which he overcomes many obstacles to eventually succeed. More importantly, it's one of the best-told stories from the world of science ever. We both wondered how closely Watson's tale matches the template of the Hero's Journey as originally described by Joseph Campbell in his 1949 foundational work, "Hero with a Thousand Faces." Turns out it's amazingly close, in addition to embodying a number of other great aspects of effective broad communication. The following is Steph's analysis of "The Double Helix" from this perspective.
When Randy suggested that I read "The Double Helix" and investigate his suspicion that the story fit the classic Hero's Journey model, I took it as an opportunity to grow two flowers with one seed. I had been meaning to read "The Double Helix" for ages, and had also just successfully used the logline maker in a serious way for the first time.
Though I had been working with Randy for nearly half a year, I could never fully appreciate the logline maker; some part of it always felt a bit contrived. After this recent success, I was hungry to apply the Hero's Journey in different ways and flesh out my understanding of its potential.
Up until that point, the Storymaker's logline template, based on the Hero's Journey, had met with varying levels of success in Randy's Connection Storymaker Workshops. While people intuitively grasped the "ABT" (and, but, therefore) storytelling template, they had a little more trouble trusting the Hero's Journey template.
Randy believed this happened in part because once people generally settled on the story they wanted to tell, they were reluctant to modify it. While most stories by nature fit the ABT model easily, the Hero's Journey takes a little more finagling. So when asked to use it as a template, people tend to find the exercise stifling and a bit forced.
The ABT is a practical and versatile tool. It can tell the story of an environmental hero who saves a watershed, explain how subatomic particles collide, or interpret a Mars rover discovery. The logline is much more human-centric—using more theatrical terms like "protagonist" and "ordinary world." As a result it can seem not just distant, but downright flaky, even, to research scientists. Randy and I decided that for scientists to grasp the potential relevance of the logline, we needed a strong example of how a story of scientific research could fit within its framework (cue "The Double Helix!").
Reading "The Double Helix," I was struck by the candid nature of Watson's writing. He became immediately familiar to me, and this, in turn, made reading the book much more enjoyable—as if I were reading letters from a friend. Watson has all the trappings of a flawed protagonist: he is young, foolhardy, searching for fast shortcuts to fame and seduced by the world of the educated, European socialites around him. His flaws set him up to undergo the Hero's Journey.
Below is a summary of this journey, using the language of the Connection Storymaker logline:
In an ordinary world, a flawed protagonist: In an ordinary world, James Watson is a young scientist at the University of Chicago, primarily interested in studying birds, impatient for fame and looking for career shortcuts (in particular, avoiding taking any advanced chemistry, physics or math courses).
Feeling unfulfilled by ornithology, he becomes curious about how genes work. He starts grad school at Indiana University, advised by microbiologist Salvador Luria. At this point, he is interested in studying DNA but still hoping to avoid learning any deep chemistry.
A catalytic event happens: He gets his life upended when, in the spring of 1951, he goes to a conference in Naples and hears a talk on X-ray diffraction of DNA by Maurice Wilkins, a physicist and molecular biologist at King's College. Around the same time, Watson realizes that these conferences were as much a gateway into a fashionable social scene as they were an entry into academia. He writes, "an important truth was slowly entering my head: a scientist's life might be interesting socially as well as intellectually."
After taking stock, the hero commits to action: After taking stock, Watson becomes determined to learn chemistry and solve the structure of DNA. He decides to go to the University of Cambridge to learn X-ray crystallography. There, he meets and bonds with Francis Crick, who is also interested in DNA. Watson writes, "From my first day in the lab I knew I would not leave Cambridge for a long time. Departing would be idiocy, for I had immediately discovered the fun of talking to Francis Crick. Finding someone in Max [Perutz]'s lab who knew that DNA was more important than proteins was real luck… Our lunch conversations quickly centered on how genes were put together."
Together, Watson and Crick commit to finding the structure of DNA using a combination of X-ray photography and model building, a method that had recently been used by the biochemist Linus Pauling to understand the structure of proteins."Within a few days after my arrival, we knew what to do: imitate Linus Pauling and beat him at his own game," writes Watson. "Now, with me around the lab always wanting to talk about genes, Francis no longer kept his thoughts about DNA in a back recess of his brain… No one should mind if, by spending only a few hours a week thinking about DNA, he helped me solve a smashingly important problem."
The stakes get raised: After a while, Watson and Crick think they have stumbled across a breakthrough. They believe DNA is a three-chain helix with phosphate groups held together by Mg2+ ions. However, when Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin (who were studying DNA at the same time) visit Cambridge at Watson and Crick's request, they quickly find holes in this three-chain theory. Their idea thoroughly shot down, Watson and Crick are discredited, and their superiors order them to stop spending their time on DNA. "By this time neither of us really wanted to look at our model. All its glamor vanished, and the crudely improvised phosphorus atoms gave no hint that they would ever neatly fit into something of value," writes Watson. "… the decision was thus passed on to Max that Francis and I must give up DNA."
The hero must learn the lesson, to stop the antagonist and achieve the goal: In order to find the structure of DNA before his competitors (Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin, Linus Pauling), Watson must learn to take his time, cultivate a deeper learning of chemistry and mathematics and resist his temptations to take shortcuts or rush to conclusions. For a while, Watson and Crick do their DNA research on the down-low while making progress on their primary research (Watson focused on the structure of tobacco mosaic virus).
During this time, Watson devotes a great amount of time to learning chemistry—combing through scholarly journals and seminal books on the topic. "I used the dark and chilly days to learn more theoretical chemistry or to leaf through journals, hoping that possibly there existed a forgotten clue to DNA," he writes. "The book I poked open the most was Francis' copy of 'The Nature of the Chemical Bond.' Increasingly often, when Francis needed to look up a crucial bond length, it would turn up on the quarter bench of lab space that John [Kendrew] had given to me for experimental work." Watson hones his X-ray photography skills, thinks about DNA late into his evenings and continually checks with reference books and colleagues to make sure his chemistry is correct.
By the time he and Crick believe again that they have cracked DNA's structure (which, of course, this time they had), they are vigilant about checking their assumptions and obtaining exact coordinates before spilling the news, having learned from their earlier fiasco with Wilkins and Franklin. "Keeping King's in the dark made sense until exact coordinates had been obtained for all the atoms. It was all too easy to fudge a successful series of atomic contacts so that, while each looked almost acceptable, the whole collection was energetically impossible," writes Watson. "…Thus the next several days were to be spent using a plumb line and a measuring stick to obtain the relative positions of all atoms in a single nucleotide."
By the end of the book, Watson and Crick have successfully predicted the structure of DNA, and it seems Watson has matured both as a scientist (in his deeper grasp on chemistry and math, as well as in his patience and restraint) and person (who is perhaps no longer as taken with instant fame and the charms of the social elite).
He ends the book in Paris, on a trip with his sister. In the last sentences of "The Double Helix," he writes, "… now I was alone, looking at the long-haired girls near St. Germain des Prés and knowing they were not for me. I was twenty-five and too old to be unusual." On that note, our hero turned the page toward a new journey.
#364) Is "Damnation" the Best Environmental Documentary Ever?
August 11th, 2014
First off, I don't think that's saying much. The vast majority of environmental documentaries tend to be devoid of story, humorless, preachy, or so preachy as to be dishonest. "Damnation" has a perspective that captures the past century of development in America, but not in a plodding didactic way. It doesn't just mention Edward Abbey, it is infused with his spirit. It doesn't just tell about what existed before the Glen Canyon Dam flooded an incredible archeological resource, it shows you through the footage and personal journey of three people that reaches into your heart. It doesn't just speak of protest—it documents with moments of hilarity pranksters pulling incredible middle-of-the-night dam graffiti stunts. And it amazingly manages to create a voice that plays to both ends of the demographic spectrum – in touch with twenty-somethings with the rebellious pranks, but also playing to the oldest of nature lovers with its dignity. After viewing it a second time on Friday evening at our screening in Los Angeles hosted by the La Cretz Foundation of UCLA I'm even more impressed. I'm sure the odds on it getting an Oscar nomination are long, but I intend to lobby everyone I know in the documentary world. Yes, it is that good.
THE RIGHT WAY TO APPRECIATE NATURE. Katie Lee, star of "Damnation," in 1957 paying homage in her own special way to a tremendous natural resource, before the Glen Canyon Dam desecrated it.
If there's one character in "Damnation" who truly steals the show it's nonagenarian Katie Lee. You get to see her naked on the Colorado River in the mid-1950′s, taking a rafting trip just before a major section was destroyed by the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam. Her opening line is her reply to the question of whether she's ever met Floyd Dominy, who was Director of the Bureau of Reclamation in the 60′s and played a significant role in the Glen Canyon project. She replies no, but if she ever did she would, "cut his balls off." She's awesome.
In the post-screening panel discussion Matt Stoecker, producer and co-creator of the movie, said she was on a panel discussion for a screening this spring. When asked what Edward Abbey (whom she knew) would have thought of the film she said, "Ed would shit his pants."
That's how much spirit the movie has. It's truly excellent.
Watching it on Friday night at our Los Angeles screening it made me realize the first time you watch a movie you are drawing impressions, trying to decide if you like it. If you do like a movie, then the second time through you get to admire it. Which is what I found myself doing on Friday night.
If I had to pick one word to describe the movie it would be, "dignified" (yes, despite Katie's outlandishness). In a world where everyone involved in making issue-oriented movies is trying to pack them full of celebrities (and missing the mark by a mile as "Years of Living Dangerously" did so sadly this past spring) or over-blowing conflict and conspiracy (like a certain fracking film), or unwilling to delve into cultural forces behind destructive behavior ("The Cove" was fun but was an exercise in political correctness when it came to looking into the eyes of a culture that tolerates dolphin slaughter) this movie was simply honest, humble and accurate.
There was no vilification. They let "the bad guys" speak in their own voice, and even put them in a fairly understanding light — showing how they were mostly a product of their times. The country was young, the Depression and World War II did certain things to the psyche of the nation, and a pathway was pursued for the times. No one in the film appeared proud of having destroyed parts of nature. The environment just wasn't in their thinking. It was an age when wetlands were called swamps and rainforests were jungles. I remember that era. It finally began to change when I was a kid in the 1960′s and the modern environmental movement emerged. For the most part the developers weren't evil, just myopic.
Since making my movie, "Flock of Dodos," in 2006 for which we never deluded ourselves into thinking about the Oscars I've had to witness all sorts of dishonest, massively hyped, deeply polarizing screeds and polemics receive Oscar nominations. "Jesus Camp" and "Gasland" are two that immediately come to mind. Even the Oscar winning "Bowling for Columbine," wasn't brilliant storytelling, only loud argumentation.
Surely the world hasn't devolved to such a state that only the screaming liars receive recognition. This movie has convinced me it is still possible to create an engaging and popular environmental documentary that works (btw, they won the Audience Appreciation Award at South By Southwest Film Festival where they had their premiere). The world needs this film to get all the recognition possible so it can serve as a model in so many ways — not just for environmental filmmaking, but also in educating the world on this entire futuristic trend of dam removal.
We had a great final question in the Q&A on Friday from a young guy from China. He told about the reckless dam construction going on there, then asked if this movie will be shown in China. It needs to be. The Chinese need to see this aspect of the future — that dams are a thing of the past. They need to know that this country, that went dam crazy in the 50′s is no longer building ANY dams, and is instead hard at work removing them with great success.
Let's all get to work in spreading the word and seeing if it can end up at the Oscars. I've never seen a more deserving documentary. Ever.
Sorry. I'm a supporter of climate action, and just raved in my last post about a brilliant environmental documentary, but this thing from the White House is anti-communication. Why would you open with a preachy, dull professor lecturing you? Who exactly is that supposed to be geared towards? Didn't anyone at the White House hear Daniel Kahneman's instructions to find a voice that is, "Trusted and Liked." Who likes being lectured to? And does anyone there understand the power of storytelling? Is this stuff really that difficult? Honest to goodness. Can you say bo-ho-horing.
I can't tell you what this video says because I could only take 30 seconds of it. Yes, that is all that today's audiences give you when it comes to video. Why should they give you more when we know that complete stories can be told in just 5 seconds of video, and Super Bowl commercials tell complex stories in just 30 seconds.
This is really bad. Your average USC undergraduate cinema student could make something far better. Film is a VISUAL medium. The visuals need to say something more than just FIRE. I don't even know where to start with a critique of this video but I know we get much better work in my videomaking workshops. Sorry to be harsh, but it's part of the game in filmmaking—you make a film, you get reviews, sometimes they're not good—just look at the reviews for a movie like "Sex Tape" which I'm sure most people would rather watch than this thing.
Come on, White House, you know how tough communication is these days. You can do much better.
#362) "DamNation": Excellent Documentary Filmmaking
August 4th, 2014
Last year I scoffed at the biased mess that was "Gasland." I wish "DamNation" had been out so I could have pointed to it to say this is how you present an issue you have strong opinions about without having the audience feel like they're being conned. On Friday I'll be moderating the panel discussion for a Los Angeles screening of "DamNation." It's a wonderful film filled with amazing sequences of inspiring protest efforts, beautiful scenery, and a heart-warming if sad jackpot of old movie footage of a trip down the Colorado River that will make you want to cry for the destruction dams have wrought. It's great and a role model for how to make a solid environmental documentary that addresses a controversial issue in a level headed and dignified way. More movies like it are needed.
DAM IT. The dam poster with the dam photo for the dam movie. It will be screened outdoors this Friday, August 8, at the L.A. Natural History Museum. I'll be moderating the panel.
I bet the filmmakers are tired of reading reviews that try every possible combination of play on the word "dam" — though that's what they get for doing it with their titled, "DamNation." Regardless, it's really a great film and we're going to have a fun event on Friday when it will be screened outdoors at the L.A. County Natural History Museum.
The post-screening panel discussion will consist of the co-producer Matt Stoecker, Jamie King of California State Parks, and Karina Johnston, Director of Watershed Programs at the Bay Foundation, with me as the moderator.
I really can't say enough good things about this movie. It's both nostalgic and contemporary. It's hip and cool enough to feel like it's for a younger demographic, yet dignified and even reverential at times to play to the older crowd. It has great visuals, but not at the expense of substance. It also captures the broad sweep of the past century to feel like the voice of the very best of the American environmental movement. Instead of a "you horrible people" tone, it has more of a, "what were we thinking?" approach.
Actually, let me put it simply, I'm willing to bet my good buddy Mark Dowie, author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated, "Losing Ground: American Environmentalism at the Close of the Twentieth Century," will love it. His book was kind of a cry in 1995 of, "What happened to the original American environmental spirit?" I think this movie answers that question, saying, "It's still alive, right here."
And actually, when you think of the ultimate voice behind it—Yvon Chouinard, the found of Patagonia (who sponsored it)—it all makes sense.
But I do have to make one bitter side comment, which is that this is the sort of movie "Gasland" should have been. Dam removal is potentially just as polarizing and highly charged of a topic as fracking, and there are moments in the movie that tell of human impacts of dams far beyond anything fracking has caused so far. But where "Gasland" was divisive, polarizing and downright stoopid with Josh Fox's immediately conspiratorial voiceover (basically "the man is out to get you" voice), this film is humble, honest, respectful and fun.
People squawk at me often, "Well, what is your idea of a good documentary?" This film is my answer, plain and simple. It's a role model for all aspiring environmental filmmakers. It doesn't have perfect narrative structure, it has a few minor shortcomings (would have liked a little more explicit addressing of the bottom line on the "jobs vs. environment" divide when it comes to dam removal), but a movie can only do so much in addressing an issue—it's not the same as a book.
The movie does its job incredibly well. AND … it's fun!
#361) Yep, Watson and Crick were hip to the ABT, too
July 21st, 2014
Guess how Watson and Crick opened one of the most important papers in the entire history of science. Why aren't we teaching the ABT at the very start of all science courses? You want to know how to do the most to improve the communication habits of scientists? The answer lies in these three letters. This will be part of my agenda next year with my new book from University of Chicago Press.
IPSO FACTO, ABT. Try it for yourself. The structure is right there. Just add the words to the opening of Watson and Crick's famous 1953 Nature paper describing the structure of DNA. And of course Watson went on to write one of the best pieces of science writing ever with, "The Double Helix." These facts are not coincidence.
Earlier this year my buddy Park Howell at the Arizona State University Business School pointed out that the Gettysburg Address is an ABT. Last week at the North American Congress for Conservation Biology (NACCB) meeting, I met the wonderful Anne Greene, author of "Writing Science in Plain English" — a book that every science student should put to use. In her book she points to the sheer elegance of Watson and Crick's landmark 1953 short paper in Nature where they presented the structure of DNA. She views that paper through her lens of simple English (it's a marvelous example of using short words where others might use long ones). I view it from my lens of the ABT.
Yes, indeed, there it is — as clear as day, the ABT structure to open their paper.
The paper really is a masterpiece of effect research science communication. They open with two sentences that serve as an abstract, telling you what the paper is about. Then they launch into three sentences that could be connected with AND's. These are then followed by the BUT.
Of course, they don't have the "but" in the actual paper, however, if you put it in, you see it fits perfectly. Their "but clause" (do I sense a new term?) has two points along with a third separate point they dismiss, then they get to their part of the story where you could seamlessly add a THEREFORE if you wanted.
Just like the Gettysburg address, it shows the potential scaffolding nature of the ABT — the idea that if you create a good ABT structure you can then remove these connector words and it stands up just fine.
We had two great workshop sessions last week at NACCB built around people developing their ABT's. I'm now in the thick of my new book on narrative with University of Chicago Press. The ABT will be a central component. Lots more to come with it.
And for all the communications people who think the ABT is "something to add to your communications tips and tool kit," I'm sorry, but no — it's not a tip — it is THE essence of effective communication because it is THE narrative template. It's where it all begins. And over the long term, if you're not communicating narratively you're not communicating effectively. That's not a tip—it's a rule.
#360) The AAAS-Lemelson Invention Ambassador Talks
July 15th, 2014
The videos of their talks are now posted. They're great. Five truly amazing individuals, telling you the stories of their discoveries. (Plus they're funny)
BEST OF THE BEST. Great people with great stories.
I'm on my way to Missoula to fight the Mush Wars, but in the meanwhile, here's five great presentations, all of which are both concise and compelling. This sort of communication is the antidote to mush.
#359) Mush Wars in Montana
July 13th, 2014
I'm retitling my talk for Wednesday at the NACCB in Missoula to, "Mush is My Enemy."
I have two good friends on the inside of US Fish and Wildlife Service and National Parks Service. They've been coaching me. There's a problem and it's called mush. It's what happens when good people get together with good ideas and good intentions and everything starts out clearly focused, but as things roll along, ideas and concepts start coming together in a piecemeal manner with too many voices, not enough leadership and eventually what emerges is … MUSH.
Mush is as much the enemy as boredom (which I have whined about in the past). Sadly, in today's Tea Party-beaten down government, it's a serious problem. I feel bad for a lot of these government workers. They want to lead, but the voices of opposition have gotten so oppressive from both ends of the spectrum—far right AND far left—that mush seems to become an inevitability.
It's limited how much can be done to combat it, but the one aspect I hope to help with in my talk is at least making the language somewhat simpler and more clear. One friend sent me a 200 page document they were told to digest and incorporate, but the writing is so bloated and mush-laden that I can see it must be depressing.
There's only one solution — we must make mush our enemy.
#358) The Communications Tragedy that is Obama
July 9th, 2014
Obama is no Reagan, sadly, when it comes to mass communication.
"I'M NOT INTERESTED IN PHOTO OPS" (yep, your polls show it)
Yesterday Obama gave a press conference about the current crisis on the Mexico border in which he said, "This isn't theater. This is a problem… I'm not interested in photo ops, I'm interested in solving a problem."
Ugh. So noble. So honest. So decent. Really not made for America. And his current poll ratings show it (46% and sinking).
You just don't say that to the American people. You bite the bullet, you figure out THE perfect photo op, then you play the game. Reagan did it over and over again—giving a speech at the Berlin Wall saying, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Bush stumbled into disastrous photos (looking out the window at Katrina wreckage). But abstaining is not a successful option.
It IS about theater. Sorry, dude. It just is. Yes, the intellectuals don't need theater and prefer you avoid it, but this isn't an intellectual nation. Never has been.
Poor Obama. Go take an acting class. I'm sure that's what Reagan would have advised.

Which pump?
10 June 2010 - 10:51 PMAlright first up is the Azodin Kaos pump read the reviews and i liked it for the price and what you get
second is the v2 sniper classic I like the way it looks but dont know a whole lot bout snipers.
could i get a side by side comparison of these two guns and which one you guys suggest I currently own a phantom VSC and love it to death cannot be replaced period, but my sp-1 and spyders are getting dated and are expensive to run so im thinkin of selling the three guns and picking up a new pump (which i find to be the best challenge of all types of paintball)

cleanliness,very near to airport,value for money
tv did not work and asked 3 times for it to be fixed,never was
The price was really reasonable, perfect for a short stay. The staff were very helpful and friendly
The double bed could of been a bit bigger
The bed was rock hard Food was over cooked
We liked the location as we were going to the LG Area to a show. It was an easy 10 minute walk. The Staff were are very pleasant and helpful - infact we could not fault anything at the Hotel and would definitely use this again.
Nothing not to like.
breakfast was excellent
reception. only one member of staff available despite being 5 separate guests checking in. multi training of staff would allow reception to call on assistance
beds were very comfy.
Lightning in room was very dark and dingy. Room was small and smelt of chips upon arrival.
Did the job! ideal for the LG
Bathroom could have been cleaner...
good clean room
Room was cold even with heater on full and so was the bathroom.
Clean, spacious room Good Shower Friendly Staff
No information on what time breakfast is served. No instructions on Telephone usage so didn't know what to press to call Reception or another room. No instructions for the TV.
every think i have enjoyed there
no think
Car park charge, customer service
We paid for our room on arrival. We then paid for our evening meal in the restaurant. When checking out, there was another charge to our room that wasn't ours (two meals & drinks). While I accept mistakes happen, it was down to us to prove it wasn't ours and had to provide the receipt from our meal. So someone managed to get a free evening meal. Also,the breakfast cold buffet was laughable. Won't be going back.
location perfect for NEC only 10 mins to halls. Room spacious, bar comfy, restaurant basic but adequate. Service very friendly.
Bar closed due to lack of staff. Bottle of shampoo broken in shower.
£27 for a clean, fresh & modern room - raising the standard
My hangover the next day!
first impressions the hotel was very clean and the member of staff at the reception was very efficient The room was clean and well furnished and I was very pleased considering the fact that I took advantage of the Value Deal for the room. I was quite impressed with the breakfast.
My reason for staying overnight at the hotel was for a family funeral in the area. I did know the area very well so was a little surprised that the hotel in an industrial estate. As my say was only one night it was not a problem.
We like the kettle in the room. Very clean hotel
no signs from the train station to the hotel and we have to walk true a long corridor from the reception to the room. No wifi in the room.
Stayed here several times whilst visiting the NEC and its superb value for money and very close to the NEC.
Convenience being so close to NEC .
We have stayed here before on business & it was excellent so chose to come on pleasure but how the place has dropped! It was grubby, dinner & breakfast service extremely poor, staff seemed as tho they didn't understand or didn't care! Tiles/ grouting dirty& coming away, everything slightly grubby and needing overhaul. Bar man and receptionist were lovely. Such a shame as the visit before was excellent.
Helpfulness of the staff, easy walking access to NEC.
Being asked to pay fro breakfast when it was part of the package. However, staff sorted it out promptly.
Location to NEC. Room Rate - I'm so glad I didn't pay full price because I would have been so disappointed and not very happy. Decor and cleanliness was spot on.
No-one mentioned when I was checking out that I needed a code to get out of car park. I had to drive back and go to front desk to request one. Only 1 plug worked in the room. Others were there but plugs wouldn't go into them. Only 2 pillows on bed and not very hard or filled enough. Couldn't pull duvet far enough up the bed, I'm small so slid down. Nothing to say how to work TV and what programs were available. Rooms were quite small.
breakfast was value for money and the service was very good
Bigger double bed would be nice
Easy 10 minute walk to LG Arena. Great value for money. Surprisingly spacious and comfy room with lovely walk-in shower.
Sat Nav got a little confused in taking us to hotel. Uncomfortable sofa in bedroom. Long walk from lift to room.
The location was fabulous. Booked because I was going to LG arena and this hotel wax within walking distance. Rooms were brilliant. Would definitely recommend.

Location is great and can't complain about the facilities for the price you pay.
The staff were friendly and very helpful. .. upgraded me to a much better room for no extra cost. That room was pleasant airy and comfortable
My booked room was dingy and pokey with very little light looking out over car park. Damp patches on ceiling. Very depressing on Xmas eve and considerably worse quality than other smaller hotels I have stayed in locally for less money. In general hotel felt impersonal. .. long corridors with no personality.. and uncared for. .. tatty decoration etc. The staff saved it as a place to stay
The town was very nice. The hotel was nice and quiet.
When you first walk in it looks great but once going through to rooms looks very gruby and dark.
location was excellent
room had damp everywhere,changed room to one with wallpaper on the ceiling hanging down.breakfast was meager
It was in the middle of Wawick
No one at desk when went to reception.room very run down. Dirty the bathroom you needed a peg on your nose to go in . Shower was cool and a trickle of water.toilt stained with ruin at the bottom worst room I have stayed in .
location good b/fast helpful staff
TV out of date rooms need a face lift shower head old towels need replacing rooms need upgrading
Very good position for Castle, free parking
Hotel in need of refurbishment. Rooms not very insulated from sound. On three occasions throughout the night I thought someone had opened the door into my room but it was the quests opposite. (there was a small group of Xmas revelers staying at the hotel and were still in the corridors at 5am)
NICE HOT BATH - location for Warwick Castle couldn't be better
PAYING EXTRA FOR BREAKFAST - i have stayed in similar quality of hotels and for the same money get a cooked breakfast and 3 course evening meal for the same price- only small car park - christmas party at the castle had trouble finding a parking space
Like the location of the hotel and parking
Didnt like making our own tea and toast at breakfast (this can be dangerous due to carrying hot water accross the dining room). No teapots were provided. The room decoration looked very tired and needed freshening up. The leads for the tv and wifi were trailing over the floor from an extension cable. Generally the hotel looked shabby, untidy and uncared for. Cleanliness was fair but the toilet looked as though it needed a good bottle of bleach throwing down it or better still be replaced The shower did not work properly in the morning due to low water pressure and the showere head being to big for the shower pipe. In general we were disappointed in the hotel and as such would not stay there again and would not advise going there to anyone. The only good thing about the hotel was the courteous and friendly staff that work there.
It is expected that a hotel of this age would not have the amenities of a newer hotel. However, all hotels should have water. When the water did work in the shower, it was for several minutes with very low pressure. On one of the nights, there was no water in the shower or the sink. The hotel reported boiler problems that evening but the water was almost as bad the next day after the boiler was fixed.
Breakfast,location to Warwick Castle
We had to complain about our room due to the smell of drainage and damp. Although the replacement room was better the T.V failed after 1 hour The room had no central heating only 2 electric heaters
24 hr bar
All the above
Beautiful building. Shame it hasn't had much attention. Very sad décor. Room was nice. Very clean! Bathroom well equipped and, again, very clean. Little girl on reception, delightful. Chap on evening duty, very nice, even though he was run off his feet!
Excellent location. Most of the staff were very nice & very pleasant. In the bar, in the evening, we spent a couple of hours winding down, after a very enjoyable day sightseeing. We were charged approximately £8 for two drinks, roughly 3-4 times. At 11pm, the bar staff changed hands & the next guy attempted to charge us £13+ for the same two drinks. He told us it was a more expensive brand. We didn't ask for it. We asked for the same as previously ordered.
A light in the room did not work The television did not work at times, the scart lead was very loose and kept losing contact. The handle in the shower indicated hot was cold and vice versa. Also handle was loose in fact it could be detached
Good location with free parking, old fashion hotel
Shower pressure wasn t good so had to use bath instead. Communicating door to next door's room was a bit thin so lack of privacy. Breakfast was overpriced.
The Breakfast was really good, we had the full English I recommend it, but there was a variety of other items to choose from. The location is very good. Free parking a real must and a big bonus. Reception Staff very helpful and professional.
Wi Fi poor but manageable in our bedroom, excellent connection in lounge area. The breakfast waitress could be a little more attentive but then others can say sometimes they are too attentive, a good morning would go down well and she could have asked if we need any help with coffee or tea, clearing the table was non existent even though we were siting with dirty plates for about 20 minutes after breakfast and it was not busy three other couples at breakfast but I am making this comment as there was nothing really that bad considering the price we paid for the room.
The location and parking facilities were very good. The staff were very helpful and friendly
A lot of upgrading on the bedrooms is required, but due to what is going to happen to the hotel it can be seen why nothing has been done. We had intended to book for October as it was so central for the Halloween event at warwick castle but unfortunately we where unable to do this.
Central Warwick location
Rubbish hot water Creaking floorboards inside rooms when people walk in corridors outside of room. Unhygienic bathrooms Very noisy bathroom extract fans
Great location for visiting Warwick Castle and town of Warwick. Easy car parking. Bed clean. Towels reasonable quality. Wifi good but only allowed one connection!
Dreadful, small room and old fashioned bathroom with stained floor finish. Badly in need of total refurbishment. Very poor. The narrow corridors and doors were also in need of refurbishment. It was like something of a time warp from the 1950s. Embarrassingly poor advertisement for English tourism and Warwick. The only refurbished areas were the tiny reception area and main staircase. Bathroom fan noisy, some light bulbs failed and electrical sockets mainly were extension leads lying on the floor in the window area which looked very poor and could be dangerous. Hairdryer was plugged in and just lying on the floor. Very cluttered with free standing fan and convection heater also on extension leads crammed in the window area. We felt we needed to always have something on our feet when walking around as it looked grubby. And as a result we didn't use the shower in the bathroom and waited until we returned home to London for a shower! (Only stayed one night and would never go there again.) The hotel had an OK and quite good appearance from the front outside in the main street! But we should have been wary when the receptionist wanted payment in advance before handing over the room key and therefore allowing us to see the room.
Close to Warwick Castle, town & racecourse. Staff were helpful and friendly, rooms were a bit tired looking but had everything that was required, ironing board and iron in the room and finally a hotel that gives you enough milk for the tea and coffee in the room. Overall not the plushest hotel but a great location and comfortable.
Rooms and decor could do with updating.
I liked the location and staff helpfulness
The room was like a basic 70s room very disappointing. For the price the room was a very big let down . Not even a hairdryer . Floors creaked so much I was woke. Up several times by people walking up the hall way during the night . I'm glad it was only for one night
The breakfast was fine. The staff were helpful and pleasant
Very disappointed, front of house very impressive, with period features, as expected. Once through to bedrooms carpets dingy, poor condition, unpleasant aroma, poor finish. In bedroom, more disappointment, TV socket hanging off wall - DANGEROUS- radiator had been removed, brackets left in situ, old pipework left, hardly any hot water, grubby bathroom. We chose this Hotel because it was marketed as Historic, we did not expect pre-historic ! staff were very understanding and refunded 1 nights stay but we would not recommend this hotel at all and would never return I am sorry to say.
The location, right in town centre, so once thecar was parked up in car park, thats where it stayed unil we came home.
Asked for a quiet room, but was put in a room next to fire escape which fellow guests used throughout the night to go out of for a cigarette, it was like trying to go to sleep in a TB ward, with their coughing.
Manage to get a room in short notice.
No heating just a electric plug in heater
Great after hours bar and nice reception area. Amzingly central for price.
Appeared to be a lot of damp in and around the rooms - central heating was broken so had electric heater in room.

It was a rather lovely day- Chris, Joel, Wolf and I were hanging out when it dawned on us that there were dirtbikes for riding outside. Next thing you know… I did some riding too… but I wanted to get photos of their hooliganism. Get these two together and well- Chris and Joel had a lot of fun helping me get the photos I want. Joel launched his bike pretty close to me after a wicked slide. Luckily he is a great rider and I am light on my feet. It was… Continue Reading »

I think I was a flat track racer in a past life. The slide, the speed… I felt perfect on that dirt bike. This photo makes me feel a little bit of what I feel when the back end breaks free. …Weeeee…!

All my friends know I live in my teva flip flops and will wear them even if it's cold outside, minus the snow.
I'm a fan of anything outdoorsy or involving food. I'm a huge foodie and can definitely hold my own. In the summer I like to hike, kayak, canoe, and just spend time in the sun. I'm also notorious for spontaneously traveling to a far away land.

He uses "Russo's Rants" to feed a wide-ranging hockey-centric discussion with readers, and can be heard weekly on KFAN (100.3 FM) radio and seen weekly on Fox Sports North.
Also find Russo on Facebook.
Email Michael to talk about hockey.
Good early smoggy morning from Los Angeles, where I've just arrived from Las Vegas in preparation for the NHL Entry Draft on Friday (Round 1) and Saturday (Rounds 2-7).
I'll be doing a live chat on startribune.com at 3 p.m. CT today -- barring any Wild news, of course.
Just thought I'd jump on here real quick and freshen up the blog. I'll actually blog again later this afternoon with a look at some of the prospects that could be available when -- or if -- the Wild selects from the ninth position.
I just talked on the phone with Ottawa Senators GM Bryan Murray about a smattering of subjects -- life, the weather, Dino Ciccarelli, hockey in Minnesota and of course, Jason Spezza.
There have been rumors in some corners that the Wild's hot after Spezza. From the best I can tell, there's no truth to that. Murray, always the character, said he talked with Wild GM Chuck Fletcher quite a bit about a couple subjects at the GM's Meetings way back at the Stanley Cup Finals, "but he didn't indicate he was ready to help me out at all. I don't know why."
That is kind of rude. After all, BM the GM employed a young Chuck Fletcher in both Florida and Anaheim.
On Spezza, Murray says unless something dramatically changes, Spezza's going nowhere. He's not aggressively shopping him and there haven't been any bona fide offers.
"Jason came in. At the exit meeting, he was not happy. A couple stories were written and pointed the finger at him. And actually he played pretty well. The fact that he's a star and we didn't win, he took the blame. They highlighted the one goal where Crosby – I thought Jason did everything he possibly could – Jason chased him behind the net two or three times, Crosby goes down and falls to his knee, pushes the puck to Letang on the blue line and Letang scores, and they blame Jason. ..."
Here's the play Bryan's referring to:
Back to Murray:
"Jason took it very personal this time. He's frustrated, and when you write a bad thing about players, some fans pick up on it and some fans were booing him a bit, so he's very unhappy about that. That was basically the extent of it. He did say, 'Maybe it's time for me to look elsewhere, Bryan,' and I said, 'Yeah, but we're not doing that Jason at this point. Why would I do that?' so that's where it was left.

Climate action was not a losing message in the elections. For US Senate, six strong leaders for climate action were elected: Gary Peters (Michigan), Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire), Jeff Merkley (Oregon), Brian Schatz (Hawaii), Tom Udall (New Mexico), and Al Franken (Minnesota). In a Congressional race in Nebraska, Republican Representative Lee Terry – that state's leading advocate for the Keystone pipeline – was defeated. But with the new Republican majority in the US Senate, there is a belief that environmental laws must be weakened or repealed to make way for so-called economic growth. Despite Lee Terry's loss, one of the first targets on the GOP list is the Keystone pipeline. That makes our efforts to speak up for climate action more important than ever. Make sure your elected officials understand we already have too much greenhouse gas pollution in our atmosphere. Let's draw a red line in the atmosphere and commit to stopping the buildup of greenhouse gases before 2030. Reach out to community leaders, community groups, and the news media to educate them about the dangers of climate change as well as the climate solutions that work. Invite your friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues to join the Sierra Club and other groups that are leading the way for climate action and environmental protection. Personal action continues to be important because it shows that the solutions work. At home, at work, and in your community, you can conserve energy, prepare for extreme weather, divest from fossil fuels, and invest in clean energy. Climate solutions – like energy efficiency, wind, and solar – create jobs, save consumers money, and protect health and the environment. With sustained education about the importance of the environment and climate action, we can elect candidates and adopt laws that will improve health, broaden prosperity, and safeguard our people and property from the effects of climate change.

i'm using spring security, and i've enabled the remember me cookie. by default, the cookie is supposed to persist for 2 weeks. on my dev environment (localhost:8080 with tomcat), when a user logs in and selects the remember me checkbox, using chrome, i can see the following cookie stored.
name: SPRING_SECURITY_REMEMBER_ME_COOKIE value: YWRtaW5AaG1vb3ZpZXMuY29tOjEzOTYyMTgyNTU0ODI6YmRmNTlmODUxYWJiNWUwMjY1NDU3OWE1NDlhZWQzNWQ domain: localhost path: /webapp expires/max-age: Mon, 31 Mar 2014 02:28:22 GMT size: 121
in my controller (spring mvc controller), i have the following code.
public String default(Locale locale, Model model, HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) {
Cookie[] cookies = req.getCookies();
for(Cookie cookie : cookies) {
System.out.println(cookie.getName() + ", " + cookie.getValue() + ", " + cookie.getDomain() + ", " + cookie.getMaxAge());
return "default";
what i see in the console output is the following.
SPRING_SECURITY_REMEMBER_ME_COOKIE, YWRtaW5AaG1vb3ZpZXMuY29tOjEzOTYyMTgyNTU0ODI6YmRmNTlmODUxYWJiNWUwMjY1NDU3OWE1NDlhZWQzNWQ, null, -1
- why is the domain showing as "null" on the server side?
- why is the max age showing as -1 on the server side? according to the javadocs, it says -1 indicating the cookie will persist until browser shutdown
also, i'm not sure if this is because i'm testing in localhost:8080 mode with tomcat, but when i use the developer console (in chrome) and type in the following,
i see this
- why does chrome detect and show the cookie (as well as server side code), but document.cookie not?
- if on the server side code the max age for this remember me cookie is -1, then this indicates to me that this cookie is a session cookie not a persistent cookie. which contradicts the whole point of remember me, since remember me is to persist beyond the browser session
what i ultimately want is to forward the user to a spring protected landing page if they have a cookie. for example,
- "/" is the root page
- "/login" is the login page
- "/home" is the spring security protected page
then my controller can check for the SPRING_SECURITY_REMEMBER_ME_COOKIE and the expiration date, and forward to "/home" if they have a valid cookie even if they are requesting "/" or "/login". but it seems i can't do this on the server side if the maxAge = -1 (to me, that means that the cookie is expired?). or am i interpreting maxAge incorrectly?
although i would like my questions answered still, i'm starting to question my own approach. i just found out that a user can easily spoof the cookie. for example, i wanted to redirect my user to the landing page "/home" when they request "/login" if they have the remember me cookie.
@RequestMapping(value="/login", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String login(Locale locale, Model model, HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) {
return "home";
return "login";
however, without the developer console disabled, a user can just do something like the following at the root page "/".
var d = new Date();
var expires = "expires="+d.toGMTString();
document.cookie = "SPRING_SECURITY_REMEMBER_ME_COOKIE=true; " + expires;
then when they request "/login", the controller will detect this cookie and forward them to "/home". this is really bad. i guess this is one of the reason why the persistent token based approach (e.g. backed by a database) is offered. but i'm wondering if even this alternative is dangerous (can be circumvented) with what i'm trying to do.
it seems it's always best to NEVER do what i'm trying to do, which is detect a remember cookie with the controller for the login page and forward the user to the spring security protected page if that cookie is there.

Zen And The Art Of Farming
"[ Fukuoka's ] The One-Straw Revolution is one of the founding documents of the alternative food movement, and indispensable to anyone hoping to understand the future of food and agriculture."
— Michael Pollan
"Ever since I began proposing a way of farming in step with nature, I have sought to demonstrate the validity of five major principles: no tillage, no fertilizer, no pesticides, no weeding and no pruning. During the many years that have elapsed since, I have never once doubted the possibilities of a natural way of farming that renounces all human knowledge and intervention. To the scientist convinced that nature can be understood and used through human intellect and action, natural farming is a special case and has no universality. Yet the basic principles apply everywhere."
-- Masanobu Fukuoka
Farming is not for a lot of people:

Butler County strike unresolved after 1st meeting
HAMILTON, Ohio (WKRC) -- Striking social workers and Butler County leaders met Tuesday, August 27th, 2014, but no deal was reached and the strike continues.
The union and county met for the first time in more than a week.
The social workers want more money and more staff.
During the nearly three-hour meeting, the union presented a proposal it believes the county can afford.
The county rejected it, so it's back to the picket lines for the children's services employees.

The rainy season runs from July to November although you can still find rain at other times. The mountains have about four times the amount of rain as the coast. The average temperature is 29C and the coolest months are November to February where the average temperature is 17-21C.
