Nietzsche explicitly affirms what he understand as the meaning of the will to power sociopolitically, and the reader is given the chance to acquiesce to the Marxist-Freudian consensus:
"A legal order thought of as sovereign and universal, not a means in the struggle between power-complexes, but as a means of preventing all struggle in general - perhaps after the communistic cliche of Dühring, that every will must consider every other will its equal - would be a principle hostile to life, an agent of the dissolution and destruction of man, an attempt to assassinate the future of man, a sign of weariness, a secret path to nothingness."

Read More »You may not understand everything they say, but get ready for more vulgarity-laced gibberish of the political and tech variety.

Of course, "Office Space" is his crowing achievement, pitch perfectly capturing the soul crushing ennui of working 9 to 5. Judge returned to the well with "Extract," something...

I love the comment on the hydrant slide reading " getting information from the internet is like drinking from a fire hydrant". Searches always bring TOO much information so you feel overwhelmed. Also, we now ALWAYS struggle in determining what is good information, and what is trash. We do indeed feel like we're drowning at times, or just being "hosed" by sites that just waste your time aggregating traffic. I wish there was a browser that would eliminate the needless flow of advertising and extraneous mind numbing trash!

If you have the subject matter expertise and blogging skills Get Educated may be a good ride. Network and get paid a modest stipend... could lead anywhere. (On a side note 15 years ago I got my first online teaching job via a Get-Educated job ad.)

I'm not sure I agree with Brent entirely. Creating content capable of mobile delivery that is both accurate and engaging requires professional skills. Locating, Evaluating and Ethically using mobile learning content takes a bit of training too. I do completely agree that 21st Century information access shifts power and control from traditional sources like government agencies and universities to people everywhere. Learning how to learn, and becoming information fluent is what I teach people how to do. It's not ivory tower stuff. You can learn it independently or via organized online classes or (gasp) in an enlightened classroom. There's the power! CHOICE!

Great, but my mum's a tomboy- I used to do her makeup for nights out, because she couldn't do it. I don't think she owns more than one lipstick and a brown eyeliner from like 1995. The only thing she'd even remotely enjoy on this list is the PJ pants... and I gave her that last year!

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - A poll following Monday's Likud party primaries shows the party gaining strength.
According to the Haaretz-Dialog poll, the results of the Likud primaries did not appreciably alter the way Israelis plan to vote.
If elections were held today, Likud would win 36 mandates to the Kadima party's 27 and Labor's 12.
Center-right parties would win 64 seats, compared to 56 for the left-wing parties.
Results of the poll did not support Likud chairman Binyamin (Bibi) Netanyahu's concerns that right-winger Moshe Feiglin could cost the party up to five seats.
Nonetheless, Netanyahu is not happy with Feiglin's 20th place finish on the Likud list, which would very likely assure him a Knesset seat.
Ofer Akunis, Netanyahu's former media advisor, petitioned the party's election council to advance regional representatives on the Knesset list.
If the council agrees, Feiglin would be moved down the list.

American Football: Testaverde's injury brings downs the Jets
It was a freak accident. Testaverde was lunging forward in an attempt to recover a fumble by the running back Curtis Martin when he fell.
The loss of their leader, who threw 29 touchdowns and just seven interceptions a season ago, has already had a devastating effect on team morale. "He's irreplaceable. I don't know what the hell you're going to do," said the receiver, Keyshawn Johnson. "I never dreamed in a million years we would lose our starting quarterback in the first game of the season."
Despite a brave effort from his replacement, Tom Tupa, the Jets also lost the game in sickening fashion when the Patriots kicker, Adam Vinatieri, successfully converted a 23-yard field goal with just three seconds remaining.
The importance of having a quarterback of proven quality was confirmed by unlikely victories for the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys. Trailing by 21 points in the fourth quarter against the Washington Redskins, the Cowboys were revitalised by the brilliance of their passer, Troy Aikman, who tied the game with less than two minutes remaining with a touchdown pass to Michael Irvin.
Aikman then completed the job with a 76-yard strike to Raghib Ismail in overtime to complete a 41-35 triumph. He finished with 362 yards and five touchdowns, while the Redskins confirmed that they have retained their penchant for self-destruction.
Brett Favre was in similarly irresistible form for the Packers, who trailed the Oakland Raiders for most of the contest only for Favre to find the receiver Jeff Thomason for the game-winning score with just 11 seconds left. Favre threw four touchdowns in his side's 28-24 triumph.
The latest drama of the day occurred in Philadelphia, where the Eagles raced to a 21-point lead over the highly rated Arizona Cardinals but let it slip away in the second half. The Cardinal comeback was completed when the kicker Chris Jake sent over a 31-yard field goal with no time on the clock, giving Arizona their only lead of the game at 25-24.
An unexpected success came in St Louis, where the quarterback Kurt Warner, making his first NFL start, threw three touchdown passes as the Rams disposed of the Baltimore Ravens 27-10. Warner, whose only previous professional experience was with the Amsterdam Admirals in Europe, was pressed into service following the pre-season injury to Trent Green.
The big shock of the opening day was the San Francisco 49ers' humbling by Jacksonville Jaguars. San Francisco, the most consistent team of the last 20 years, have been hit by player losses and in-fighting between the team president, Bill Walsh, and the head coach, Steve Mariucci, and it showed in a 41-3 humiliation. The normally prolific quarterback, Steve Young, was held to just 96 yards, also giving up two interceptions.
The Minnesota Vikings gained a measure of revenge against the team who beat them in last year's playoffs, the Atlanta Falcons. Despite a late Atlanta rally, the Vikings held on for a 17-14 win.
It was all smiles and celebrations in Cleveland as the Browns returned to active duty for the first time since 1995. However, the smiles faded as Pittsburgh Steelers completed a 43-0 humbling that was every bit as convincing as the scoreline suggests.

Rated 4 / 5 stars
This just got funnier and funnier. The voiceovers were fine, the graphics were pretty good, I wasn't really a fan of the drill sargeant part (bit cliche to me) but overall this was great.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Character voice
I have to agree with ghost13xp on this one, the main characters voice was too wussy for a drill sarge and it got very annoying very quickly, but it was pretty funny. I liked the pigeons, ending was bit gay but apart from that it was pretty good. nice job!!

Afaa Michael Weaver (Michael S. Weaver) was born in Baltimore, Maryland, where he graduated from Baltimore Polytechnic Institute at the age of sixteen as a National Merit finalist. After two years at the University of Maryland, he entered fifteen years of factory work, during which time he wrote and published.
During the Vietnam War, Professor Weaver served honorably in the 342nd Army Security Agency of the Army Reserves. He ended that period of blue collar factory work in 1985, when he received an NEA fellowship in poetry. In that same year Professor Weaver entered Brown University's graduate writing program on a full university fellowship. While completing his M.A. at Brown, he also completed his B.A. in Literature in English at Excelsior College.
Later Professor Weaver taught at Essex County College, Seton Hall Law School, New York University, Brooklyn College, and Borough of Manhattan Community College. He came to Simmons in 1998, after receiving tenure with distinction at Rutgers University. At Simmons he is a tenured full professor and holds the Alumnae Endowed Chair, the first chair to be established at the college and one that is reserved for working writers.
In addition to the NEA, Professor Weaver has received several awards over the years, including the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award (2014), May Sarton Award (2010), several Pushcart Prizes (2008, 2013, 2014), a Pew fellowship (1998), a Pennsylvania Council on the Arts fellowship (1994), and a Fulbright appointment as a scholar (2002) at National Taiwan University and Taipei National University of the Arts.
He is the author of numerous books of poetry, a collection of essays which he edited, several essays and articles in various academic and trade publications, and short fiction. As a freelance journalist he has written for the Baltimore Sunpapers, Baltimore Afro-American, The Philadelphia Tribune, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune, The Baltimore City Paper, and The Philadelphia Sun. He has been the editor of Obsidian III at North Carolina State University, and the editor and founder of 7th Son Press in Baltimore.
At Brown, Professor Weaver focused on playwriting and theatre. His master's thesis was a full length play entitled Rosa, which was produced professionally in 1993 at Venture Theater in Philadelphia. In that same year he won the PDI Award in playwriting from ETA Theatre in Chicago, Illinois. He is the author of several other plays, including Berea, which has received two staged readings, one in Chicago and one in Philadelphia.
Dr. Henry Louis Gates of Harvard University has described Professor Weaver as "...one of the most significant poets writing today." Ed Ochester, professor emeritus at University of Pittsburgh has said Professor Weaver is "...the African American successor to Walt Whitman."
Professor Weaver studies Chinese on an ongoing basis, and in 2005 he tested successfully in the intermediate level of fluency in Speaking, Reading, and Writing at the Taipei Language Institute in Taipei, Taiwan. He has convened two international conferences on contemporary Chinese poetry at Simmons and, in that way, given the college an international presence in the world of Chinese poetry. In 2005 he was awarded a gold friendship medal from the Chinese Writers' Association in Beijing, China.
Professor Weaver's papers are held in repository at the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University.
As Dean of the Simmons School of Library and Information Science (SLIS), Eileen Abels brings more than 30 years of award-winning expertise in library and information science to the school to help prepare 21st century information professionals for work in libraries, archives, information institutions, and cultural heritage organizations. She has led a distinguished career as an educator and innovator. She is the recipient of the ALISE Award for Professional Contribution to Library and Information Science Education, the ASIS&T Thomas Reuters Outstanding Information Science Teacher award, the Special Libraries Association Rose L. Vormelker award, and the Medical Library Association's Ida and George Eliot prize, among others.
Prior to joining Simmons SLIS, Abels was the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor at the iSchool at Drexel, The College of Information Science and Technology. Specializing in digital reference, she oversaw ipl2, a digital library resulting from the merger of the Internet Public Library and the Librarian's Internet Index. Her current research interests focus on the future of reference services, libraries, and library and information science education.
Her leadership positions include serving as president of the Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE) and President of Beta Phi Mu (International Library & Information Studies Honor Society).

Eileen Abels' Curriculum Vitae
I have a joint appointment in both the Mathematics & Statistics and the Computer Science & Informatics programs.
Naturally, I am also interested in where those fields intersect – including cryptography and "big data" – and in pedagogical issues related to those fields.
Nanette Veilleux is a professor in the computer science and information technology department. Her research interests include primary research in computational models of speech, as well as investigations of pedagogical methods in STEM education. The first topic involves primary research into the categories of English prosody (emphasis and phrasing) and can be used to improve automatic speech understanding. The later topic involves an approach to pedagogy that is not only effective to convey discipline knowledge but also encourages students to remain and thrive in their disciplines. She is currently principle investigator on two collaborative NSF funded grants.
Nanette Veilleux's Curriculum Vitae
Music courses cover a wide range, including music history, theory, and performance (through an inter-institutional agreement with the New England Conservatory of Music.) The music program at Simmons is an academically oriented one designed for liberal arts students who study music as a humanistic pursuit; examining prevailing musical, social and expressive influences from diverse eras and cultures. My professional life has been divided into two areas, performer and teacher. Luckily, one enhances the other. For many years I performed a great deal of piano solo repertoire, a piano concerto and chamber music with colleagues in Boston, around New England and beyond. A solo concert at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria, will always remain a highlight, closely followed by a number of chamber music concerts at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and a radio broadcast on Chamberworks, heard on WGBH Radio, Boston. Teaching has always been my first love, however, and I have served on the faculty of a small, European-style conservatory, The Longy School of Music in Cambridge, and at a large research institution where I taught music theory for 10 years at MIT, also in Cambridge. But teaching music history and theory in a liberal arts college is my preferred academic venue and Simmons College and I have been together for many years. Writings on music appear in the Journal of the Haydn Society of Great Britain and in Abafazi, a journal exploring women of African descent ("Marian Anderson: The Lady from Philadelphia Revisited.") I frequently judge piano competitions for private music schools, statewide piano competitions for the Massachusetts and New Hampshire Music Teachers Associations as well as national competitions for the National Music Teachers Association.
Ben Cole joined the faculty of Simmons College in 2012 after a one-year post-doctoral fellowship at the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College. Before that, Ben taught for three years as Hood House Lecturer in International Affairs at the University of New Hampshire (his alma mater). Since 2011 he has also served as a Research Associate at the Center for Systemic Peace, where he collaborates with his doctoral research mentor, Dr. Monty G. Marshall, on the production of cross-national governance and conflict datasets and publication of the Global Report series. Ben's teaching philosophy is characterized by a passion for collaborating with students in research, learning, and advising. He enjoys leading teams of student researchers, redesigning and teaching new classes, and talking with students about life and career plans. When not working with students, Ben loves spending time working on the family farm with his wife, Shannon, two beautiful children, and his grandfather, sailing along the coast, or settling into a good book with a hot pot of coffee at hand.
Nobel prize winning geneticist Barbara McClintock wrote, "Everything is one. There is no way to draw a line between things." This is certainly true in my own field of Neuroscience, where the study of brain and behavior integrates many areas of study and emphasizes the connection between mind and body. It is also true of my work here at Simmons. It is difficult to draw a line between my teaching, research, and mentoring efforts, in part because they are intertwined around a central theme of increasing the participation of women in the sciences. I traveled a nontraditional path in finding my passion and vocation, and I especially enjoy helping others explore their interests and career possibilities. Sometimes you'll be surprised where life takes you, and it is the life skills and education you acquire in college that can help you make the most of your opportunities. I love to teach, and here at Simmons I'm able to work closely with students as they become active participants in a learning process that occurs in the classroom, in the research lab, and in advising relationships and extracurricular activities.
My background is in social policy, social action, and advocacy. I am particularly interested in social justice and human rights issues for people with disabilities and chronic illnesses but also have a strong focus on issues for other marginalized groups as they are affected by racism, sexism, classism, heterosexism, ableism, ageism, youthism, and other forms of oppression. Of course, many people are affected by more than one form of oppression. My education and work have focused in these areas, and one position before I came to Simmons School of Social Work was Senior Associate in the Office of the Court-Appointed Monitor for Special Education in Boston. There, under the Allen v. McDonough case brought by parent advocates and the Massachusetts Advocacy Center against the Boston Public Schools for non-delivery of special education services, we strived to obtain rights for the children who were being deprived of an education or whose education was being compromised. My learning there emphasized what I had been taught in my doctoral program – that advocacy and social action are critical to our social work mission and to achieving social justice and obtaining human rights. I try to pass on my own "hands on" learning to my students at Simmons School of Social Work, and I am very rewarded by their passion for social justice. I have been able to draw from my experience and interests in co-authoring two books that focus on people with disabilities and chronic illnesses as well as other oppressed groups. The first book was Health and Health Care in the Nation's Prisons: Issues, Challenges, and Policies, and the second book was Asset Assessments and Community Social Work Practice. In addition, parts of my current volunteer work that are related to my commitment to issues for people with disabilities and chronic illnesses are at the Samuel P. Hayes Research Library & Perkins Archives at Perkins School for the Blind and as a consulting editor for the journal Health & Social Work, and each of those are valuable learning experiences for me.
I am a physical therapist with orthopedic specialization and have been practicing in outpatient rehabilitation for the past 15 years. I have an interest in general orthopedics and sports medicine related conditions with a specific focus on rehabilitation of the shoulder. I have enjoyed teaching at Simmons for the past 8 years and feel that the combination of small class sizes, engaged and accessible faculty, and the incorporation of problem based learning really prepares graduates to be leaders in the changing health care environment.
Daniel Joudrey, an expert in organizing information, joined the Simmons faculty in 2005 and teaches information organization and three separate cataloging courses. Prior to coming to Simmons, Joudrey was a teaching fellow and research assistant at the University of Pittsburgh for Dr. Arlene G. Taylor, a well-known cataloging authority. Joudrey was also a metadata policy intern at the Library of Congress. Before that, he worked for an international non-profit social services organization. He is lead author for the newly revised and expanded 11th edition of Introduction to Cataloging and Classification and co-author of the 3rd edition of The Organization of Information. Joudrey received his Ph.D. and MLIS from the University of Pittsburgh and his B.A. in theatre from George Washington University. He writes on education for cataloging and metadata, subject access, and other cataloging topics. He has been a member of the American Library Association for nearly 15 years.

TravelPod Member ReviewsDeauville Beach Resort Miami Beach
Located on North Beach, 20 mins from the heart of Miami beach. Nice resort, large rooms. Lovely pool and atmosphere.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
The hotel is old, so there are parts which can be unbearable for those who are used to newer cleaner surroundings. The room itself is decently sized and the beds are comfortable. The A/C unit is large enough for the room and is not noisy (sometimes a problem with old hotels with old A/C units). There's even an LCD TV in the room, so I guess this room has been recently refurbished. The swimming pool is well maintained and large. We went swimming three times in two days. I'm writing this review from the room and the wi-fi works well.
At the time I was booking a room in Miami, other similar star-rated hotels with better tripadvisor reviews were going for $150 per night. As it is, I got this room for $100 a night (incl. tax) through a Hotwire type deal on Expedia. So I consider the quality acceptable for the price I paid. There are plenty of bad reviews on this hotel which I don't think is unreasonable, if the reviewers had paid a lot more for this hotel. I guess you really get what you pay for.

Historical Traveler Reviews Deauville Beach Resort Miami Beach
Had a great stay
I'm giving the Deauville an Above Average rating for a few reasons. The private beach, the pool, the staff, the close-by shops (Walgreen's, liquor store, dollar store, bagel/coffee shop), and the transit system to get anywhere you need to go for $1.25!!! We stayed Nov 20 - 28 and had a blast! We were in a corner room on the 16th floor, had a gorgeous view of the city, the ocean and the pool. The room was very clean, the cleaners came every day and did a great job: if we needed something extra (more coffee, more toilet tissue, etc), we just left a note and it was done! From the front-desk staff to the concierge(s) to the cleaning and bar/restaurant staff, they were all super friendly and extremely helpful. The pool was clean and gorgeous and refreshing, the beach was clean, the tiki bar was great. Alex the bartender was super friendly. Next time we go to Miami, we won't hesitate to stay here again, we had a great time. For those of you who are complaining about the $7.00/day fee... we were concerned too. Turns out if you book through Expedia, Travelocity, etc, you are not told about this fee in advance. If you book directly through the hotel, the do explain it to you. Instead of parking with the valet, we parked on the street each evening and stuck a couple of dollars in at 9am each morning to tide us over until we went on our daily treks.
Better than expected
We stayed at the Deauville in mid-November 2004 for three nights. I too was a bit nervous after getting the hotel through Priceline and then reading the TripAdvisor.com reviews. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. Our room on the 8th floor wasn't musty-smelling and was very clean and looked newly renovated. Although the TV didn't work at first, someone came up right away to fix it. The employees we dealt with were all very courteous and knowledgeable. The only negatives I can confirm from other reviewers were that our key card didn't initially work properly (nor did someone else's on our floor); the door was difficult to shut; the fitted sheet on one of our beds didn't properly fit; and the valet parking fee was exorbitant, though we probably could have found cheaper parking on our own. It certainly wasn't my best hotel experience, but it was worth what we paid for it, and we had a good experience overall.
Probably would not stay here again
We checked in for a one night pre-cruise stay on November 6th. First thing I noticed in our room on the 6th floor was the smell, which was musty. Other notable things that were not up to par included the door which we had to slam hard in order for it to close (it was sticky, like they needed to shave off some so it would close); the security latch on the door was being held on by one loose screw (we took it completely off so as not to risk the latch moving over when we had to slam the door); the remote control for the TV did not work and the bed was not comfortable. BUT, the air conditioner did not leak like so many others have written about! We did not have the opportunity to use the pool area or eat in the restaurant. I was told about the $7 resort fee upon check in, but when we checked out the woman said "ok, it's all prepaid, you're all set" (I had booked through Priceline for $55). I said "except for the $7 resort fee, that'll be charged to the credit card, right?" to which she replied "no, you're not being charged that fee". I didn't ask anymore questions, I guess I'll wait to see if it shows up on my credit card statement. My partner's parents also stayed the one night and they requested to be moved from their original room which smelled musty and the woman at the front desk apologized and upgraded them to an ocean view on the 10th floor, which they said was better. I, too, probably would have requested to be moved had we been staying more than one night, but we didn't arrive until 10pm and were leaving the next morning, so I didn't bother. Just be aware not to expect much if you're staying here.
Okay for $60 on Priceline
My boyfriend and I stayed here on October 31st for one night before going on a cruise. I had reserved the hotel several months earlier on Priceline. A few weeks before leaving, I came across this website and all of the reviews. I was actually scared to go from all the terrible reviews I had read. I immediately wanted to forget about the $60 I had spent and try to find something better. We decided to go check it out first, and if it was so bad we would not stay. I thought the lobby area was very nice. Staff was friendly. The room was fine - a few little things I noticed could have been cleaner or fixed, but for $60 I really couldn't complain. The pool and hot tub were great. I don't think it would be my first choice if I returned to Miami Beach, but my experience there was fine. Not great, but not terrible.
Worst hotel i've ever stayed at!!
Where should I start?? My girlfriend and I were on our way to South America and layed over for two days. This hotel was a nightmare. The $7 resort fee was ridiculous. Customer service was non-existant. Air conditioner didn't work and after 3 phone calls, they sent someone up while we were gone. The individual cleaned out the AC filter into our toilet and just left the dirt and dust there. The toilet was clogged and could not be used. They offered no apologies!! Plus, it took them until 9 PM to make up our room. To add, my girlfriend was served a rotten salad and we literally had to served ourselves water and condiments for our burgers. When I complained about these issues to management (who is in charge here anyway?), they offered no apologies but a free meal at the restaurant?? Why would I accept consolation at a restaurant that I complained about bad food and horrible service. When we checked out, the manager on duty (10/17-18) would not walk out of her office, whick was 20 feet from the desk, to hear us voice our concerns and displeasure. Horrible service, terrible, non-existant management, and shabby facilities. I will never stay here again and urge others to seek other lodging in Miami Beach. The owners of this hotel should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this kind of experience to happen to anyone. Never again.
This hotel should be destroyed and rebuilt!!
my family and i (6 altogether) stayed here over christmas break 5 days total and it was a rip off. our flight didn't get in until 12 am and by the time we got to the hotel it was nearly 3 am. we arrived at the door and the valet guys were extremely nice and helpful, but the reception staff have some issues. They're not pleasent and seemed to hate their jobs. after reading some reviews we thought people were exaggerating , but they were'nt!! The wallpaper was peeling, the bathrooms weren't as clean as they could have been, but the beds were comfy. the pool and hot tub area was nice and spacious and the beach area was nice, but the resort fee was a bit much $7 each every day along with the $18 valet parking. the food in the restaurant was ok but a bit pricey. we were told we were paying for the view, if we went down the street a bit it would be cheaper as we would be looking at the curb. the bar was also expensive $7 for a shot. the the walgreens across the street was very handy but had to get cab to ocean drive. the concierge guys were really nice, but the hotel does need a serious revamp!!
it wouldn't be my first choice if i was to go back to miami.
Really Enjoyed Deauville Beach
First off, the Deaville Beach resort is a budget hotel but my friend and I were very pleased. Upon arrival our hotel room had a leaky air conditioner which caused the carpet to be wet. We reported the leak and we were immediately upgraded to an oceanfront room with balcony. I absolutely loved the view! the only down side was there was water run off from the balcony above us (a minor inconvience) We did not prefer the restaurant that was in the hotel but that was not a problem because IHOP was 2 blocks away. The hotel is walking distance from Subway, Pizza Hut and many other inexpensive dining choices so that was perfect for our lunches. The hotel is a good distance from south beach which comes in handy as the beaches are not crowded but getting into south beach at night is a nuciance. We spent approx $200 in cabfare getting from the hotel to south beach in a matter of 4 days. Had i known in advance we would have rented a car (car rental is next door to the hotel) I would recommend the Deavuille Beach hotel and I hope to go again and this time reserve an oceanfront balcony room in advance!!!
Filthy! Truly needs an overhaul
When we first arrived I thought this place wasn't bad for the $60.00 priceline bid. The Lobby was Big and airy and they served pastry and cold lemondade while you waited in the long line to check in. When we got off the elevator I knew this was going to be a Dump and I mean Dump! The Halls were dark dingy and dirty. The two room keys didn't work and when we called the front desk from our cell phone they said we had to schlepp downstairs to get new keys. Once in the room the rug was dirty ripped. Toilets were dirty. Floor was dirty. Coffee splattered on wallpaper. View from our Balcony beautiful but the Balcony was disgusting peeling and dripping from all the other airconditioners. DON'T STAY HERE! This was a disgrace after coming off a beautiful caribbean princess cruise and the Hotel pre-stay was very nice in Fort Lauderdale. I was so aggravated that I didn't sleep or let my kids go into the filty pool. Beach grounds were also gross. Don't beleive any excellent reviews on this property as I think they are rigged. Just my humble opinion.
Liked it very much!!!!! Stay for great value and ammenities!
I just want to say that we were guests of the hotel during Memorial Day weekend (it was recommended by a co-worker) and we were greatly impressed! After first checking in to an Ocean view room which was very nice, we opted for the higher priced oceanfront room becuase it had a balcony. WOW, what a grreat decision as not many hotels these days have balconys on the Ocean. At night when we slept, we heard the waves from the Ocean and it was very peaceful. In our minds, the hotel had the perfect location as it was only a 10 minute ride to South Beach, but its location was without all of the South Beach noise!!!!! Last year we stayed at the Lowes South Beach and paid$400 per night, but found the Deauville to be a much better bargain with truly a similar quality property. We'll never stay on south Beach again - too noisy and far too expensive. The deauville has a great cafe with tables both inside and outside by the pool and good qulaity food at better prices. Check in was a little long, but I suppose it should be expected since the hotel was totally full. rooms were standard 3 or 4 star and comfortable and clean, but I hear that they are renovating this year. Stay at the deauville!!! You will not be disappointed!!!!
A Dump
We booked one night at the Deauville before a cruise. Places-to-Stay should take this hotel off their lists of hotels. The room didn't even come close to the picture they show. We booked a ocean front room with a king bed. We were told we booked an ocean view room. Even with the confirmation printed out. We got an ocean front room with 2 double beds. The bathroom was dirty and rusty. When you looked over balcony there was garbage dumped there. The air conditioner leak all over carpet so it was wet. You really didn't want to walk on the carpet anyway because it was so dirty. The front door stuck when you tried to open it. It was no where worth $130.00 a night it wasn't worth $50.00 a night. Very disappointing.

Behemoths beware? New channels declare war on ESPN, Fox News
The new television channels Fox Sports 1 and Al Jazeera America both launched recently with great expectations and big financial backing. And if everything goes according to plan, the two channels could cut down on the inane and uncivil babbling that permeates successful networks like ESPN and Fox News.
Fox Sports 1 debuted Saturday. Its flagship shows includes an eclectic roundtable discussion hosted by Regis Philbin called "Crowd Goes Wild" and the daily highlights show "Fox Sports Live." The channel is branding itself as more moderate and mature than ESPN, which has long been the gold standard in around-the-clock sports programming.
"ESPN catches grief, sometimes from Fox, for its monotonous devotion to the likes of Tim Tebow and for hosting overheated, juvenile debates," Ira Boudway wrote Wednesday for Bloomberg Businessweek. "Fox Sports 1 has positioned itself as the antidote, the place for gentler, more jovial sports conversation. The trouble with zigging when ESPN zags is that the network has spent nearly 35 years learning from and training its audience. Its conventions, however obnoxious, are there for a reason."
When Al Jazeera America launched Tuesday, its first programming was an hour-long taped introduction. Per USA Today, "The introduction tape flashed video promos of Hillary Clinton and Sen. John McCain lauding Al Jazeera's coverage and mocked Fox News with a clip of talking heads shouting on 'The O'Reilly Factor.'"
Owned by the oil-rich Qatar government, Al Jazeera America can credibly disparage the ubiquitous huff-and-puffery of shows like "The O'Reilly Factor" because the new network aspires to carve out a reputation as a hard-hitting news organization.
The New York Times' Brian Stelter reported Monday, "Fourteen hours of straight news every day. Hard-hitting documentaries. Correspondents in oft-overlooked corners of the country. And fewer commercials than any other news channel. It sounds like something a journalism professor would imagine. Al Jazeera representatives say proprietary research supports their assertions that American viewers want a PBS-like news channel 24 hours a day.
"Originally the new channel was going to have an international bent; now its overseers emphasize how much American news it will cover and how many domestic bureaus it will have, which some see as an effort to appease skeptics."

Arizona Cardinals
Daryn Colledge: Cardinals offense took illegal hit on Palmer personally
Already dealing with an ailing right elbow, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer wasn't done any favors when Tennessee's Kamerion Wimbley rolled into his legs on Arizona's second possession.
Wimbley was called for roughing the passer -- the penalty netted a devastating one yard for the Cardinals' offense, which was at Tennessee's 2-yard line after the play -- but Palmer was obviously shaken up. He remained in the game after having his left ankle heavily taped, but Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians said the quarterback was limited as a result of the hit in Arizona's 37-34 overtime win.
"He'll be pretty sore tomorrow � that took a lot of our game plan, a lot of our play-action passes from us," said Arians, calling Palmer's injury a high-ankle sprain. "He's a tough customer. He wasn't coming out of there."
Palmer threw for 231 yards and a score on 20-of-30 passing and didn't throw an interception for the fourth time in five weeks. Arians said Palmer was "lights-out again this week," and guard Daryn Colledge said the play gave a boost to Arizona's offense.
The Cardinals ran for 145 yards and two scores while breaking off several runs of more than 10 yards and score more than 30 points for the third time in four games.
"He's a tough guy and he took that shot personal," Colledge said. "A lot of us took it personal. We had to win this game. If we had to run the ball over them every play, if we had to give him time for five-step drops, so be it."

CDC Study Shows Importance of Birth Control for Women
Category: Birth Control, Emergency Contraception
This morning, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released the results of their first publication ever on the use of emergency contraception in the United States. The findings are telling!
With 11 percent of women having used emergency contraception at least once in their lives, the study showed that while usage is on the rise, repeated use of emergency contraception is extremely low.
A second study released this morning tracked trends in birth control from 1982-2010. While the fight over affordable access to birth control continues, this study reinforces the notion that almost all women (99 percent) have used birth control at some point in their lives. It's basic, preventive health care — widely used and overwhelmingly popular.
Both of these studies reiterate the importance of expanding access to birth control to all women of reproductive age.
Birth control has played an important role in the advancement of women in the workplace, allowing them to invest in their careers and plan for their futures. In fact, research shows the pill is responsible for a third of women's wage increases relative to men. That's why the Affordable Care Act, which gives women affordable access to birth control with no additional co-pay, is so important. Birth control works; women just have to have access to it.

Brakes defective on pickup that plunged from overpass, police say
The brakes of a pickup truck that plunged about 40 feet from an overpass to a Downtown street were defective, a Pittsburgh accident investigator said Wednesday.
Four people — three men in their early 20s and a 19-year-old woman — were injured on July 23 when the pickup plunged from the Crosstown Boulevard onto Second Avenue near the Allegheny County Jail.
The driver told investigators that the brakes failed and an investigation showed they are defective, said city police Sgt. Daniel Connolly of the accident investigations squad.
He said no further information will be released until accident investigators complete their investigation and review the findings with the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office to determine if there were any motor vehicle violations.

May vows to 'get rid' of Qatada
Related Articles
Published: 13 November 2012
Qatada, who has been fighting extradition for more than a decade, will be released from prison after winning an appeal against deportation to Jordan to face trial.
The Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac) allowed his appeal and chairman Mr Justice Mitting granted him bail, meaning Qatada will be released from maximum security prison HMP Long Lartin to return to his home address.
He will be subject to a 16-hour curfew and allowed out between 8am and 4pm, with the condition he wears an electronic tag, does not use the internet, and does not contact certain people.
Once described as Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe, Qatada was convicted of terror charges in Jordan in his absence in 1999.
The Middle East country has given the Home Secretary assurances that no evidence gained through torture will be used against him. But in the ruling, Siac judges said they could not be sure this would be the case.
The Government now plans to appeal, and Mrs May told the Commons: "Qatada is a dangerous man, a suspected terrorist, who is accused of serious crime in his home country of Jordan.
"The British Government has obtained from the Jordanian government assurances not just in relation to the treatment of Qatada himself, but about the quality of the legal processes that would be followed throughout his trial. We will therefore seek leave to appeal today's decision."
She said she believed Mr Justice Mitting applied the "wrong legal test" in finding in Qatada's favour, adding: "It is deeply unsatisfactory that Abu Qatada has not already been deported to Jordan.
"Successive governments have tried to remove him since December 2001. He has a long-standing association with al Qaida. British courts have found that he 'provides a religious justification for acts of violence and terror'."

How the Syrian Uprising Started, the "Rise" of the Syrian National Council, and The Role of The Arab Gulf Countries: Interview with Haytham Manna` (Part 3)
On April 27th, around the Jadaliyya Co-Sponsored Conference at Lund University ("Contesting Narratives, Location Power"), I sat down for an extensive interview with Haytham Manna`, one of the icons of the independent Syrian opposition and a leading founder of the National Coordinating Body for Democratic Change (in Syria). The interview was long and candid, and addressed several topics, including the current impasse in Syria, the stages and transformation of the uprising, the questions of international intervention and of resistance, the Syrian National Council and its relations with other opposition groups and the Arab Gulf States and beyond, and the relationship between Syria and Hizballah.
Below you will find the third part of the 4-part interview.This segment addresses the beginnings of the Syrian uprising, the "rise" of the Syrian National Council, and, briefly but potently, the role of the Arab Gulf countries. The first part can be found here and the second part can be found here.

Saw it in the shops a few weeks back...yesterday thought I'd better buy it for my girlfriend, before I otherwise forgot. Anyway, to get an idea of what the book is like, try visiting the website: http://www.gotgoblins.com/
A few years ago my brother bought me a book of these little Froud critters, complete with 'bios' on them all. The artwork is great. It's called "The Goblin Companion."
Yes, I loved the Labyrinth, and these creatures in the book look exactly like them. They even have that old lady goblin with all the junk piled on her back.
Turns out someone gave her another Brian Froud book a while back - pressed-Goblins. Think "Pressed flowers" book, and then imagine someone did the same to lttle elves and pixies.
I love Brian Froud's work especially the original 'Faeries' book with Allan Lee. The paintings within are fantastic!
Thank you Brian for the link.... I shall return there during a leisure break. What a wide range of Goblins. There is more scope for drawing or painting a Goblin as none of them ever look the same.
i hav emost of frouds art books. i love his style. i love the stories as well. his pressed faerie books were great, really great style and pictures. but his good/bad faeries and his general faerie books were really informative. i think he's great his son, who was tobby in labrinyth, is really cute. too young for me, but there you are. thought i'd say that
Froud is also going to be working on the new Dark Crystal movie as well (he was designer for the first one as well).
ow, they are marvelous - remember that my friend brought Froud's book from trip to france and it was so cute and charming - we were just sitting and laughing in loud voice. Yes, I admit - he has great sense of line and style. ty for link
Also check out "the world of froud" -the official website by froud.(sorry can't post the direct link in here, just run it through google ;-))
I saw him at a fantasy convention a couple of years ago (Elf fantasy fair, Holland). He seemed like a nice guy, but I think he really believes in goblins . Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal are fabulous movies, and recently I bought his Good Faeries/Bad Faeries book. Like the artworks in the middle: you can look at it the normal way and upside-down.
I'm a long time fan of Brian's, and have a fair amount of his stuff. My favourite book of his 'Land of Froud.' It was produced in the late 70's and is almost impossible to find, unless you want to spend big. Whilst I never went in for his Pressed Fairy books, I like Good Faeries/Bad Faeries, and his most recent Goblins book is great. I would definitely recommend Faeries by Brian Froud and Alan Lee, there's a 25th Anniversary edition out and it's probably one of the best guides to Faerie Lore out there.
yeah me too. it was my favourite film when I was younger I really loved the first dark crystal film as well. ahhhh il have to see the second one at some point. the goblins book is really funny. he's an amazing artist. he seems like a really cool guy too. he looks a little bit like my old art teacher who had an obsession with funky ties. he even has a t-shirt that says hobgoblin on it. ahhh funny guy.

Educators Killed At Sandy Hook School Honored At White House
The six women killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School by a gunman who also murdered 20 children were honored with posthumous Presidential Citizens Medals today at the White House.
President Obama, whose eyes appeared to tear up during during the ceremony, said the educators "gave their lives to protect the precious children in their care; they gave all they had for the most innocent and helpless among us."
Dawn Hochsprung, Mary Sherlach, Vicki Soto, Lauren Rousseau, Rachel D'Avino, and Anne Marie Murphy were among 18 people awarded the medals today. Family members accepted the awards on the educators' behalf.
The others honored today:
-- Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, "one of America's most respected voices on child development."
-- Adam Burke, an Iraq War veteran who suffered traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder and then went on to create "Veterans Farm, a space for wounded warriors to heal by working the land and finding stability on friendly soil."
-- Mary Jo Copeland, the driving force behind Minneapolis' Sharing and Caring Hands charity.
-- Michael Dorman, "a 20-year veteran of the Coast Guard [who] founded Military Missions in Action to help veterans with disabilities live independently."
-- Maria Gomez, who has "dedicated her life to providing high-quality health care to the community [Washington, D.C.] that raised her."
-- Pamela Green-Jackson, who created "Youth Becoming Healthy [and] equipped young men and women in Georgia schools with the knowledge and opportunity they need to get a strong start in life."
-- Patience A. Lehrman, a "-generation immigrant from Cameroon" whose Project SHINE "has helped thousands of aging immigrants and refugees build deeper ties to their communities by connecting them with college students nationwide."
-- Janice Yvette Jackson, "counselor and the founder of Women Embracing Abilities Now [who] has drawn from the depth of her experience to empower women with disabilities and advocate passionately on their behalf."
-- The late Jeanne Manford, who founded Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays and insisted "that equality knows no bounds of sexual orientation or gender identity."
-- Billy Mills, the 1964 Olympics champion n the 10,000-meters run who went on to create Running Strong for American Indian Youth.
-- Terry Shima, who served in World War II with the Army's 442nd Regimental Combat Team and later was executive director of the Japanese American Veterans Association.
-- Harris Wofford, former Pennsylvania senator, longtime civil rights activist, adviser to President Kennedy and a key force in the creation of the Peace Corps.
As The Hill says, "the Citizens Medal, which was established in 1969, recognizes American citizens who perform exemplary deeds of service for the country and fellow citizens."
