Rated 5 out of 5 by Stephanie3 Wonderful Experience
The location of the hotel is perfect. There are several very good restaurants within walking distance. There are also several grocery stores about a mile away. There is plenty of parking and the staff was very nice. We did not use the pool, but could see it from our room and there was always someone in it. I will stay here again when in Salt Lake.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ThomasPMTL Clean, Convenient, Comfortable... with a Great Gym
I have to say that the Sheraton SLC exceeded all my expectations. From excellent service from the front staff (special thanks to Zach Bott and Alex French), a pretty solid restaurant, and clean and comfortable rooms, this is a great place to stay.
They have a great pool and gym, with a convenient shuttle not only to/from the airport, they will bring you downtown if you need. However, seeing the Utah TRAX is only a block and a half away, and trips to downtown are free, I use it everyday.

Rated 1 out of 5 by BadExperience01 Suprisingly bad
Reserved my room on line - was given the opportunity to upgrade to the "club" level. Got to the hotel was told no upgrade was available because the Star members get those rooms first - I declined the invitation as was told no upgrade was available - even though at the time of reservation it was and I tried to upgrade immediately after that. I was told by the lady at check in that my room would over look the court yard. It over looked the street to the west. I found animal feces in the closet - I picked it up - it had been there a while. I will never stay here again.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Bennie846 Hotel need help
I stay at the Sheraton SLC at least 2-3 times a month. It seems to me that this hotel is starting to need some help. I think it's time for some updating. The gym is in desperate need of updating. As in all service business you need to evolve or die. The restaurant breakfast service is still suffering. If they get a few customers at the same time they are overwhelmed. I hate to speak badly of this hotel. I love the staff. The people are great; they really know how to make you feel like family. I know that a hotel can only improve the facility when the corporate people give them the funds to do so. So please give the SLC Sheraton some money to update their property. Let's make it a property that everyone wants to stay at.

Rated 3 out of 5 by mericasux Needs a remodel
I was upgraded to a suite, which was not very impressive. I walked into a dark room as the switch near the door didn't work. After stumbling around for a few minutes using my cell phone as a flashlight, I was able to get a lamp turned on.
The bathroom was VERY spacious, but felt empty, the shower and toilet were crammed into the corner, but I had enough room to dance in the center.
The hotel layout is difficult to navigate, and the bar staff was inattentive.
This was my 2nd stay, was giving it a second chance because of my loyalty to SPG, that won't happen again.

Rated 3 out of 5 by raegan poor cleaning and maintenance service
I hung a "green" tag on my door for the week, but it was as if it was a do not disturb sign- my room only got cleaned once.
I had trouble getting into my door every single time. I changed keys out twice. Despite turning green, the lock would not disengage enough to open the door most times. Of course when I called and maintenance came up I was able to open it the first time so they said I just wasn't opening it right. REALLY? I've opened more than one hotel door in my life. It was really frustrating, especially when I was in a rush. Everything else was nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 Perfect Wedding Night hotel
My Husband and I recently got married and stayed at the Sheraton in Salt Lake City for the night. The room numbers were labeled incorrectly on the wall, so it was kind of tricky to find our room, but it was well worth the search!
The hotel upgraded us to their Presidential Suite because it was our wedding night! So worth it! I would DEFINITELY recommend this hotel. We paid $133/per night. Staff was nice and helpful and there is a free shuttle to the SLC Airport that leaves every 30 minutes. The hotel is 10-12 minutes from the Airport, which is always a plus.

Rated 1 out of 5 by DPN007 Avoid this hotel
I checked in late, around 10 and was handed keys to a room where the AC was not functioning, the temp in the room was 87 deg and it took them 2 hours to give me a different. The excuse front desk had was that their AC system had broken down earlier - i would have expected them to tell me that at check in. Upon talking w/ other guests, they said their rooms were freezing. The front desk had no clue on how to handle the situation, couldn't find me a room for 2 hours and then somehow showed up with a key to a room directly opposite my initial room.

Rated 3 out of 5 by WF789 Noisy Room
This hotel was renovated and it turned out well. The rooms are contemporary with flat screens and all seems well until I went to sleep. Apparently the furnace was probably still the original furnace and every time it turned on and off, it made a loud noise that woke me up. This was not noticeable during the day when it was noisier, but at night when everything was quiet, it was very obvious. The restaurant & bar are both so so, there are much nicer restaurants within walking distance. The courtesy shuttle around downtown and to the airport was a plus.

Check in was excellent. Person worked patiently to provide SPG amenities and services.
Room was fine except for the hall light shining under the door all night so it lit the entire room. At 3:30 am after not sleeping I stuffed a towel under the door to reduce the light. When I mentioned this to the clerk at check out the next morning he appeared to care less. His attitude reflected no appreciation for our loyalty or for staying at the hotel. Bathroom amenities were skimpy and, in some cases, non existent.

I brought my girlfriend to Salt Lake for the express purpose of proposing to her. While we were out sightseeing (and I was popping the question), the staff at the hotel outdid themselves having a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries delivered to our suite just before we came back. They also made a path from the front door to the bed with flower petals. There is no question what hotel I will choose EVERY TIME I come back to Salt Lake City. BTW, she said yes!

The general staff and room were good,but don't use the hotel restaurant the waitress was slow, rude, disrespectful, and getting a check paid took over 30 minutes. Other than the waiter on Sunday Aug.4 morning shift the other waitstaff should at least get lessons in customer service, positive attitude, efficient ways to do their job properly. Or hire new staff for the restaurant. I was there with a group and many of us had the same problem with the same waitstaff. Your main hotel staff did a nice friendly job with smiles on their faces always.

3 of us requested and got a room with 2 double beds. A a roll-a-way could not be put in that unit. We requested a room with a king bed and a roll-a-way. This allowed us to be much more comfortable. The shuttle was truly the answer to our needs. Thank You for this MOST helpful service!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Snoopy25000 Perfectly ok
The location of the hotel is optimal. The room was spotless and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was huge and immaculate. My only criticism: when I was waiting for the advertised airport shuttle on the curb of the airport, I waved at the driver and even made eye contact. He was literally 5 feet away from me, looking me in the eye as I waved and he just drove off. He could have stopped and said something but he just drove off. When I called the hotel, the woman said it would be another 30 minutes before he would return. I got a $29 cab.

I was pleasantly surprised as soon as I opened the door. The beds/bedding exceeded other hotels. Our family was very comfortable and we were actually able to sleep all three nights we stayed. Starbucks coffee in the room! And downstairs! It was wonderful. The lobby, courtyards and parking were wonderful. The only downfall was the restaurant downstairs, it took over 1/2 hr to order and get one bowl of oatmeal and a waffle for the kids... and those two items were over $20. I will stay here again; however the restaurant I do not recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nicandro Home Away From Home
I've stayed at the Sheraton Salt Lake City Hotel since 2005 and I've always had a positive experience because of the consistent, excellent service provided by the staff. The staff is the one element that, in my opinion, makes this hotel stand head and shoulders above other Sheraton hotels. They are quick to respond to and resolve any issues that may arise. As a "road warrior" who has spent more than 200 nights at this property over the past nine years, I value this type of service the most, though I do appreciate the consideration and recognition of my Platinum status that has been extended to me without fail during each of my stays. Special recognition go out to staff members Brooke, Aaron, TC, and JB for going above and beyond what is expected of someone in their respective area of responsibility. I commend General Manager Jason Ford for developing and maintaining an exemplary staff.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Lax14 The hotel was nice, but lacking some things.
Really enjoyed the hotel, but some staff were not very friendly. The front desk person acted like we were imposing when we asked him things. There was never a valet when we would return so we parked ourselves a distance from the door. Which normally wouldn't be a problem except I have a bad knee. The maid woke my children by knocking on the door every half hour starting at 8:30 until we put the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door the day we were checking out.
On the other hand the Guest Service people were very nice and attentive.

Rated 4 out of 5 by havebusinesswilltravel This is a mixed review
So... After much consideration I am writing this review. First I have to say that I stay here all the time. Several times a month. I am generally satisfied, the property is nice, the bar is good, bartenders are nice. The one quality that makes this hotel second to none is T.C. in the club lounge. one year I was about 11 months between stays and she remembered me, my wife, our children, catered to our every whim. Get the club floor, she alone makes it worth it. That being said, I am only stays away from Platnum status at this point but I am currently gold. I was not offered an upgrade at check in. When I then asked for an upgrade to the club floor I was told and I quote "we dont have any club floor availability left tonight" Okay, so what do you have. I was upgraded to a loft room, with no club access. I checked on my computer and there were still club rooms left, I called down to question this and was told "Well, our general manager is trying to reel back on what we allow for upgrades based on corporate standards, because we are a franchise." I said, well I have been upgraded to club floor before with gold. I was told "yes, but we are not doing that anymore" Well, I feel pretty upset at this point, I was lied to at the front desk, and then told that the level of service I had expected was no longer being extended. Its only $30 to upgrade to club floor level but its the principal of the thing. I guess I will wait to hit platnum status for my beloved club floor. If it were not for the balance of good stays, and T.C. on the club floor this would have been a 1 star review... I hope T.C. is paid well.

Rated 3 out of 5 by TonyW The resturant needs a lot of improvement
Due to the cold weather and icy road condition, I decided not to venture out for food and instead ate at the hotel restaurant. Both nights I stood at the entrance waiting to be seated for over 5 minutes and there were not more than 5 tables of guests inside.
The choice of food is poor, mostly sandwiches, hamburgers and salads. Only one type of steak was offered which to me is a big surprise for a Sheraton in the downtown area of a major US city.
If it is not the weather, I would definitely not have any food in this hotel anymore.

Rated 3 out of 5 by kjwcpm Facility and Service both need attention
Overall this stay was an average bed for two average nights for a business trip. The room was clean and the bed generally comfortable. Amenities met my basic needs. Where things fell short were in check in service and in general facilities. At check in, there was a long queue (I was roughly 6th in line) with only one desk attendant available to check people in. The wait time was rather extensive, and after a long day of travel it was not the greeting I hoped for. As for the facilities, in general the hotel needs updating, but the flooring in particular is a concern. There is an overall odor of overperfumed treatment combined with a musty smell that give a hint of age to the property. If this can be upted the property can take on a much better status overall.

This hotel has so many strong points going for it>>Terrific LOCATION; FREE airport shuttle [also to key points downtown]; wonderful restaurant; free parking; EZ walk to NEW City Creek Mega MALL & Temple Square. What tops all that>> the STAFF. Someone forgot to tell the staff they are a Category 2 hotel. The professional, accomodating, welcoming and super helpful staff here makes us feel like we're at a Cat 6+. Was here first weekend of June. Heard similar comments of praise from other guests I encountered throughout my stay.

We love the Sheraton in Salt Lake City. My advice to anybody staying there, seek out Justin. The guy bends over backwards to make everyone feel welcome. At first, me and my wife thought he just liked us, but this last stay, we were in line and overheard him treating the people in front of us the same way he treats us. After I overcame my jealousy, I accepted it and realized that everyone is special. In all seriousness, the staff at this hotel is excellent and the stay is always the best! OH! And the breakfast is worth it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Joanofarc Nothing outstanding
We took the "best" room offered, being a loft suite....the bedroom in this suite is upstairs, with the washroom, which basically made for a cramped sleeping quarters. The hotel itself was nice enough, but I wasn't expecting to have a peeling bathtub (they had refinished it rather than replace it, and whoever did the refinishing did a shoddy job...there was actually large hunks of the coating peeling off in several areas of the tub) in the most expensive room they had...for $350/night, I would have thought it would be nicer in some respect, but it was certainly not worth the "upgrade" and I wished we had saved our money and gone with a standard room. The loft room is a waste unless you plan to entertain and need the living area totally separate from the sleeping area.

New energy storage rules in California aim to aid grid
Grant Slater/KPCC
A Southern California Edison sign outside the San Onofre Nuclear Plant.
A new set of rules passed yesterday by the state's public utilities commission have put energy storage in the spotlight.
The rules require the big utility companies — including Southern California Edison — to invest big in storing energy for later use. That includes creating enough storage to power almost a million homes by 2020.
Dana Hull, energy and clean technology reporter for the San Jose Mercury News, joins the show to explain.

Point Park baseball splits two games at NAIA No. 7 Cumberland (TN)
Feb. 25, 2012
Sean Clark gave up one run in 6 IP in Saturday's 3-2 win over #7 Cumberland. Photo by Lyddia Ankrom.
CUMBERLAND, Tenn. -- The Point Park University baseball team edged NAIA No. 7 Cumberland, 3-2, in eight innings in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday but was no-hit in the nightcap in what was a 5-0 loss.
The Pioneers (3-1), who are in the other's receiving votes section of the NAIA Baseball Coaches' Preseason Top 25 Poll (Nov. 15) at No. 26 overall, conclude their season-opening trip at Campbellsville (KY) for one game at 1:30 p.m. EST.
Point Park had opened its season with wins by scores of 10-7 and 10-8 over Martin Methodist (TN) on Friday. Martin Methodist is receiving votes nationally, as is Campbellsville (KY) (7-0).
Cumberland is 7-5 overall and has been to 11 NAIA World Series, one more than Point Park, all-time.
Sunday's game at Campbellsville (KY) will have Live Video courtesy of the home team. Visit the Point Park athletic website for links to coverage starting at 1:30 p.m. ET.
Point Park junior right-hander Sean Clark pitched a great game in the 3-2 win over Cumberland Saturday. Although he did not figure in the decision, Clark (0-0) went six innings, gave up only one run on five hits, struck out five and walked one. He pitched a shutout for the first 5.1 innings before Cumberland tied it up at 1-1 with two hits and two stolen bases in the bottom of the sixth.
Point Park got two runs in the top of the eighth against a Cumberland defense that made some errors. The Bulldogs made four errors on the day. An error, a walk and a wild pitch contributed to the winning runs in the top of the eighth, and Tom Birko had the key hit, an RBI single.
Mike Tullio got the win in relief after pitching the final two innings. Cumberland had the tying run at second and the go-ahead run at first, but Tullio got out of it.
Point Park had six hits in the game, and No. 3 hitter Leed Bodnar was 2 for 4. The Pioneers had taken a 1-0 lead in the third.
Game two belonged to Cumberland starter Chipper Smith, who pitched a no-hitter. He struck out 14 and walked on in the shutout. He faced only 23 batters, which is two over the minimum.
Cumberland got on the board early with one in the first and two in the second. The Bulldogs tacked on two more in the fourth to take even more control. Ben Rodriguez got the start for Point Park and went 1.2 innings with two hits and one run against. Isaiah Marsh pitched the next 4.1 innings with four hits, four runs and two earned runs against.

Credit some New York eateries for innovation when it comes to skirting food safety regulations.
The Big Apple, like many cities across the country, grades restaurants on inspection results, with "A" being the best. According to a recent New York Daily News article, however, a number of restaurants are using a loophole to classifly themselves as supermarkets or wholesalers.
According to the Daily News, if restaurants supply products — bread, pizza, pie, for example — to grocery stores or wholesale markets, they can avoid registering as restaurants.
In doing so, the restaurants (the Daily News names a Queens Dunkin' Donuts) are overseen by the state's Department of Agriculture and Markets, and not the city's health department.
Presto! No more mandatory grades in the window to alert diners of possible health code violations, and inspections are only once a year.
In the past, as a reporter for several daily newspapers, I covered health inspections, focusing on the restaurants with the most violations. Most writers get a kick out of covering these stories, myself included.
After all, it's why most journalists chose their profession — to inform, to make a difference in people's lives, warning them of danger, corruption, bad apples in the community.
I didn't have delusions of grandeur like many post-Watergate journalism school grads. The occassional story that got readers' hackles in an uproar was good enough for me, including restaurant inspection reports.
However damning some of these reports would seem at first, for the most part the restaurants would easily pass on reinspection, with extra training taking care of the minor violations.
I'd have no problem eating at some restaurants, despite what red flags the initial inspections turned up.
One exception: A Chinese restaurant was caught thawing frozen chicken in a garbage-strewn alley, exposed to the sun and a swarm of flies. Operators who think that's a good idea are too far gone for me to have any faith in them, no matter what happens on follow-up inspections.
I'm interested to see how a new restaurant inspection plan in Chicago works out. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, restaurants with no foodborne illness problems in the past will inspect themselves. This self-certification plan, requiring reports to City Hall, allows the city to focus on high-risk businesses.
Gee, I wonder how this is going to play out, as approved by the City Council's Committee on Budget and Government Operations. Of the largest fresh produce recalls and outbreaks in recent memory, as reported by The Packer, most haven't been flagged for violations before.
Maybe Chicago should worry less about trans fats and more about hiring inspectors. According to the Sun-Times, the city has 15,000 licensed food establishments and 32 field inspectors.
The potential for alley-thawed chicken in Chicago is pretty good.

Although it was his hometown, Clovis, N.M., was the last place on earth David Swann wanted to serve as a pastor. But that's where God sent him and his wife, Roxanne, to start a new church, Faith Family Christian. "We started with about 40 to 50 people," he recalls, "and I figured within two years we would have a thousand."
Instead, the Swanns entered a 10-year period during which, at times, it seemed nothing was happening. On the church's 10th anniversary, attendance was at the 150 mark. "Things don't always go the way you think they will," David said.
Ten years is a long time to remain faithful and excited about your ministry when it seems God isn't doing much. Yet David and Roxanne Swann are an example of what God can do when we persevere. During that time, He used David to lead his brother and two of his old high school buddies to Christ. The Lord then called all three of those men into full-time ministry, and today they are pastors of churches in Albuquerque, N.M., Roswell, N.M., and Lubbock, Texas. In fact, the churches in New Mexico have become two of the largest in the state.
What kept David and Roxanne going wasn't necessarily the hope for a 1,000-member church or a bigger facility. Instead, it was knowing that what they were doing mattered—that they were making a difference in people's lives. Were they not convinced of this, it's likely they would have headed elsewhere.
In the same way, a church becomes effective and experiences significance when it is convinced it has a message others need. We can't expect the world to be excited about our message if we're not excited about it and convinced it can change lives.
What would a congregation full of sold-out believers look like? Here are four key characteristics:

I'm going to make more in the future for sure. The lighting of the picture is a little wonky but the first one is dark gray, the second is a basic brown and the third is meant to look like beech wood.

Albuquerque, NM, Jan 27, 2012 -- USDA Rural Development State Director Terry Brunner visited the Bar VK Ranch south of Silvery City today to present a certificate of congratulations to Gerald "Billy" Billings Jr, the owner of the Bar VK Ranch and to tour the newest solar power project built in New Mexico funded by USDA RD.
During his visit, Brunner said, "In the last year we've seen more businesses access the REAP because the financing helps build competitive and sustainable rural communities by allowing the rural business owner take advantage of using alternative energy as a way to cut costs." Brunner added, "This investment made by USDA will not only allow the Bar VK Ranch operation save on its electricity bill it will see earnings by harvesting the sun's energy and making it available on the electric grid."
The funding was made under the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) which helps farmers, ranchers and small businesses in rural America with loan and grant financial support to install renewable energy systems and to make energy efficiency improvements.
Bar VK received a $15,130 REAP grant to offset the cost of the installation of the $60,522 solar power system. The new solar energy system will allow the ranch to be more energy efficient and more profitable because the power grid-tied system will sell any extra power produced to PNM under the terms of a 12 year agreement.
The solar power array is producing enough electricity to run a submersible pump used to pump water through a system of underground pipelines. The water system then provides drinking water to domestic livestock and numerous species of wildlife at multiple locations. The water system will also be used for the irrigation of trees on the ranch.
The Bar VK Ranch solar power system is one of over 900 projects across the nation that has recently been funded by USDA to help reduce energy costs and develop new sources of renewable energy.
For those rural businesses, ranching and farming operations interested in accessing information on the REAP program visit USDA's new energy website at: www.usda.gov/energy or call the Rural Development State Office in Albuquerque at 505-761-4952.

Decisions, decisions.
When I look back at that moment now, I realize that it didn't actually take much time for me to decide which expansion to purchase first. I was merely giving both a fair mental shake, probably out of some misguided sense of politeness to either developers. Not that they didn't deserve it, but I highly doubt they require it. I don't regret my choice, which is probably why my hand lunged for the game box with the emblazoned figure printed across it's face. Mmm, Balrogs.
I even knew which of the two new classes I was going to create first as I paid for Mines of Moria with my by-now-melted plastic money card. It was going to be a Warden, because there's something alluring about carrying around a huge stabby stick. That and the fact that I really wanted the option to play solo if need be, which is something I could never really do with any of my preferred classed previous to Moria's release.
The first thing that's jumped out at me is the Warden's class mechanic -- I adore special class mechanics. You've really got to appreciate a class that's able to swing between tanking and damage pretty much on the fly. This class plays it fast and loose, but not in the dirty sense. Unless you consider hybrid classes dirty, and I suppose some would. Anyhow, a Warden doesn't seem capable of playing the main tank role. While it can easily fill the shoes of an off-tank -- which any group is more than happy to have -- the fact that it can only wear medium armor limits its mitigation properties. However, the upside to being an off-tank is that when a Warden wants to kill something it doesn't feel like you're hitting the monster with a foam bat covered with goose feathers.
I'd been sitting in my chair for what seemed like a couple of hours. Glancing at my clock told me it was closer to five. The knowledge caused my mind to realize I was starting to feel stiff and numb from sitting around so long and thus it was time for a break. Rewinding back to several hours earlier, I was just starting the first book, or main series of quests, with my Rune-keeper friend. Little did I know that towards the end of this play-session we'd be ending it on the last quest. Wardens and Rune-keepers make a powerful duo and adding any of the classes as our third would've made things move along even faster. In this moment I felt my envy for large static groups grow even more, though I'm happy that Turbine's given players the opportunity to play the game in this way.
Visually speaking this game has always been impressive, but this time around it seems even more-so. I'm not sure if it's because I've got a better machine now or if the game engine has seen performance improvements (I'm guessing both) but with DX10 shadows and particle effects active, I'm consistently in awe. The Old Forest alone entranced me the entire time I was inside it. At least until a crazed tree turned me into a Warden burger with extra googly eyes.

text: By Kaitlyn Schroyer Staff Intern SPRINGFIELD Lego trains have been around since the 1970s, but with the boom of the 1990s and the spread of the Internet, they have taken off in a new way. On Aug. 15 and 16 at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Greater Springfield, the Porter Lake Lego Train Show will be setting off. Lego train shows have been happening around the nation through such Internet groups as the New England Lego Users Group (NELUG). "It's the first time ever that we've done a show here in Springfield," Ted Welsh, one of those involved with the making of the show, said. The show will include four major trains with many sections such as a farm section, a city section, a futuristic section and an airport section. And it's not only those who put on the show that can participate. "We are asking participants, especially kids, to build something. Whether it is an airplane, truck or Lego people, they can bring it in. We will tag it so it will be returned to them and place their creation somewhere around the show. Those participating will also be able to come in for free on Sunday," Welsh explained. This will be the group's 10th anniversary. NELUG's most recent show was at the National Modeling Railroad Association's show in Hartford, Conn. They put on several shows a year and are not the only ones. "There are groups all over. There's some in California, Chicago, North Carolina, Florida, and more. They all put on their own shows in their area," Welsh told Reminder Publications. "This is also serving as a fundraiser for the church," Welsh noted. "We were thinking of ways to help bring in money and open up to the community. It's really quiet during the summer so it was not hard to set up." The show will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Aug. 15 and from noon to 5 p.m. on Aug. 16. Admission is $4. The church is located at 245 Porter Lake Drive. "We're really looking forward to it," Welsh commented. "It's great to help the club and the church. The folks that come to this will have a lot of fun." |

All the Way Thru
By Jason Lamphier
JD, Musician: It's so good for me—with my crazy, eccentric, creative life—to be with somebody grounded. For our first anniversary, I drew 365 hearts on a piece of paper, one for each day we'd been together. We have that framed. For our second, I put 730 hearts on a T-shirt to signify two years. The gift for a first anniversary is paper, for the second it's cotton, and the third is leather. We're coming up on three years in March… so that's 1,095 hearts I need to put on leather.
I barely call her by her name. I call her "Smash" and I'm "Smush." We have smash written on a piece of paper on the refrigerator, and underneath it says atwt. I also got a tattoo that says atwt, which stands for "All the Way Thru," a song I wrote about Ariel. It is my first love song—I was finally able to write one. As soon as I wrote it, we started to say "ATWT" to each other all the time: before one of us is going into a hard meeting, every time we get on an airplane.
When I go out of town, I try to leave notes all over the house so that she finds them. One time I did it on toilet paper. I unrolled it, wrote "All the Way Thru" on it, and then rolled it back up.
"For our first anniversary, I drew 365 hearts on a piece of paper, one for each day we'd been together. We have that framed."

More about The Great Indian Comic Project
A couple of months ago, I blogged about "The India Project", which was then renamed to "The Great Indian Comic Project". It is time to disclose a little more about this project.
I have had this concept for about 5-6 months now, when I was grappling with my anger and frustration post-26/11. I thought about many things but nothing seemed practical and when it did, I realized I didn't have the means, skills, energy and maybe the motivation to pull it off.
I was also shocked by how short public memory was, how quickly we forgot the previous tragedy only to be hit by the next one. How easily we ignored the good things and focused on the bad ones. How we chose to only see "truths" that represent a point of view that was close to our hearts, our ideology, justified our prejudices and trashed the others as nonsense even when it wasn't.
This was also a time for me to reflect upon what I knew, what I believed in, the gap between truth and news, facts and propaganda. I realized that events that dominated the minds of an earlier generation were not as relevant to me and how issues relevant to me would be less relevant to those born a few years later. I either chose to dismiss the past or to have a selective memory of it, at times giving it more importance than it deserved and at other times, trivializing it.
The past, these events, are important but should they dictate everything we do or believe in? When I look around, that's the strongest vibe I get. And the more I look, I realize that we cannot afford to be prisoners of the past, that we must move on. But before that, we need to understand what we are moving on from, and why. And if it is really possible to break these chains.
So, what does all this have to do with The Great Indian Comic Project?
The Great Indian Comic Project is a quest to retrace my steps, re-examine what I think I know, confront my own prejudices. It is … personal and it's not. My limited knowledge of India has been through books, newspapers, television, the Internet and comics (Amar Chitra Katha). The Great Indian Comic Project will attempt to use two of the mediums – The Internet and Comics – to tell stories about events that changed our lives, for better or for worse.
These events are what I like to call – Game-Changers - Events that gave us hope, made us leap with joy, filled us with pride and events that made us sad, weep, feel ashamed of ourselves and what we stood for.
And what will this look like?
To be honest, this is ambitious and looks like more than I can handle. I am not an artist, I don't draw, paint and so I will use images, screenshots, etc. to recreate these events to the best possible extent. I am not a writer and there is no suspense as we already know about these events, but I will try to tell these stories anyway. I am not the academic type but I will do my best to research well enough to be accurate. Assumptions, opinions will be stated as such, and sources revealed whenever available.
These are not disclaimers, only facts and limitations. At some point, if it looks unfeasible, I will have to give up.
How is this relevant to the reader?
I am not really sure but I can only hope that you will hop along with me on this ride, challenge the stories I tell, contribute your thoughts in retelling a piece of our history.
Finally, when and where will this be available?
More details very soon. Including the scope, format, etc. Promise :-)

Senior Citizens Suspended High Above the Streets
Look up in the air! It's a bird, it's a plane- no, it's senior citizens sitting in white chairs, going about their daily tasks! German Installation artist Angie Hiesl made some jaws drop with these elderly people suspended 20 feet in the air on the streets of Montreal for Festival Transamerique this year. Hiesl premiered this concept in 1995 and has taken it all over the world to over 14 countries, including: Poland, Brazil, Colombia, and Perú, with local actors filling in the chairs at each location. The actors are at least 60 years of age, some over 70, and while in the chairs they perform everyday activities; like reading the newspaper, folding laundry, knitting, and eating snacks, as nonchalantly as possible as passersby look on with wonder (at least the ones who take notice).

Socially-Conscious Stocking Sculptures
A row of Christmas stockings hung by the fire are cozy and traditional. A cluster of vibrant Christmas socks strung up to create a sculpture is anything but conventional. This Christmas display was created by Montreal creative agency Paprika, for Domison, a retailer that has become known for creative and eco-friendly holiday installations. The sleigh-like swoop of Paprika Christmas Display comprises 600 socks fastened together with safety pins. For the holiday season it can be seen hanging from the ceiling of the Domison store at 4117 Boulevard Saint-Laurent. After the holidays, the socks will be removed and given to 300 cold toes in need at a local homeless shelter. [Read more…]

Hey all, I'm having some trouble with a couple of plants I'm keeping in my dorm. I've posted a couple pictures of them, along with the general set-up I have. I have them on my desk right now, with a normal desk lamp (40watt bulb) as a light source. They get watered from the bottom-up via saucers. Everything was just fine until a couple of weeks ago. I brought them home for spring break, as I have for other breaks, and they decided that the trip back was just too much. When they got back to my dorm, they started having these issues. With the basil, I'm thinking it's an over-watering or under-watering issue. I'm just not sure which. The leaves are wrinkly, leathery, and almost deflated-looking. There are also some brown spots at the very tips of some of the leaves, along with a few small holes/tears. The african violet issue is pretty self-explanatory with the picture. The edges of the leaves are turning a white-tan color, and it's slowly working its to the center of the leaves. The edges of the leaves are also starting to curl under, but a couple of the leaf tips are actually starting to curl over the leaf. I have absolutely no idea what's causing it. The problem with these guys is probably pretty obvious, and I'm just too dense a gardener to see it. Any help from you more experienced plant-keepers would be much appreciated! |

Follow-Up Postings:
Lack of sufficient light is a real problem here. Incandescent lights are not appropriate for plants....too much heat and the wrong wave lengths. |
Basil, especially, is always going to cause trouble inside. It is a full intense sun plant and to grow it inside you'd need to recreate a sunblasted Mediterranean climate. Most successful house plants are naturally suited to lower light levels e.g. woodland floor. Like the Sanseveria you have there. |
Ditto on the light. Incandescents are awful for plants for the reasons stated above. A cfl would be a better option. Basil: Most are annuals and do not survive more than one or two summers. AV: You may have fried it. They do not like hot, intense light. If sunburn is the issue, then eventually you'll have leaves to replace them -- providing you change the light situation. Dorms are notoriously hard on many plants. |
So basically, I just need to give them more natural light? Should I cut off the discolored leaves on my AV, or should I let them be for now? I have a plant-growing light back home (that I unfortunately can't use in the dorms), would that work better? Thanks for the help, everyone! |

You may have continual disappointments if you try to grow light-loving plants in a dorm. You may want to search "houseplants" and find some that take low light. Perhaps there is a plot of soil outside that you would be allowed to grow herbs, e.g. African violets are notorious for being fickle, I think. You have to water from the bottom, I think. I guess you are doing that. There is a forum for them, those folks could help. |
- Posted by asleep_in_the_garden Rochopolis Minnesota (My Page) on Mon, Apr 7, 14 at 14:22
Hi! Another tip for your av would be to get a little terrarium for it. In my experience they do better in one. :) |
- Posted by ToMMyBoY69 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 11:38
Incandescent light bulbs serve nobody any good. They are way too inefficient and don't provide the proper light spectrum needed to grow plants sufficiently. Your best bet would be to use a compact fluorescent light bulb, one that's listed as "daylight" and 6,500K. Get one that's 26-watts (100w equivalent). These are the only bulbs I use, and they work great, while using significantly less electricity. I grow carnivorous plants under them, and they absolutely love it. And carnivorous plants (well, most anyways) need to be grown in full, direct sunlight, in order to grow properly, and they do just fine under these cfl lights. And another good thing is that plants that need less [indirect] light can grow just fine under them as well w/o burning, because CFL's don't give off heat like incandescent bulbs do. Use this specific bulb, and your plants will thank you for it. They don't even have to be listed as "grow lights" or anything, just a regular "daylight" cfl bulb that's 26w (100w equivalent), and gives off light in the 6,500K range. Just make sure that it's in the 6,500K range. Any other range (2,500K or 5,000K, for example...) won't provide the proper spectrum needed. All of this info will be listed on the light bulb's packaging. :) |
This post was edited by ToMMyBoY69 on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 11:45
Alright, thanks so much! Glad I can keep these little guys in my dorm :) I'll look for one of those bulbs next time I'm out! |
- Posted by tsugajunkie z5 SE WI (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 17:18
In addition to the light issues, how cold was it for the trip home and back? Even a short jaunt to and from the car could do a number on tender things like basil if its was cold. tj |

PHOENIX - Arizona authorities say they've arrested a New York man accused of making threats on Twitter against two Turner Broadcasting anchors who infuriated him with their coverage of the Jodi Arias trial.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says 48-year-old David Lee Simpson of Bath, N.Y, was infatuated with Arias and became upset by the two female anchors' comments.
Arpaio declined to name the two anchors because he says Turner Broadcasting asked his agency not publicly identify the victims.
Still, he says one of them works out of Atlanta and the other out of New York.
An indictment that charges Simpson with three counts of computer tampering and two counts of stalking hadn't yet been made publicly available late Monday afternoon.

Are there any rules about tipping the wedding planner? Ours has just been outstanding and I feel like we should give her something extra.
Though there isn't a general rule for tipping wedding planners, if you feel yours has gone the extra mile, there's no reason why you can't do something to recognize that.

Weaponization is the act of using large objects as blunt weapons.
[show]Mechanics Edit
Pickup Edit
Players can pick up objects by holding the Use button (default E for PCs).
Drop Edit
Tapping the Use button while holding an object will drop it in front of the player without damaging it. Extremely useful while carrying barrels.
Weaponized smash Edit
Using Melee Attack while holding an object will smash it into all enemies directly in front of the player, stunning them dealing damage. This can be done up to a maximum of three times before the object breaks and disappears.
Weaponized Throw Edit
Using Ranged Attack while holding an object will throw it at a targeted enemy in an arc, dealing damage and knocking it back. If the object has enough health left it will hit all enemies in its path, otherwise it will break on the first impact.
Range Edit
Throwing range varies greatly depending on an object. A spherical-shaped object will usually continue to roll once it hits the ground, doing reduced damage to any targets it passes through. This can attract unwanted attention if used carelessly, or allow the group to pull enemies from a greater distance.
Damage Edit
Damage caused by weaponization increases slightly with player level, with Throw doing roughly double Smash's damage. All the damage from objects is area effect and, unlike all other AE damage, does full damage to each target.
When an object is thrown it will deal damage based on the speed and size of the object. It will deal maximum damage until its speed is reduced by hitting the ground or a wall, and reduced damage to any targets caught in the bounce.
Iconic powers Edit
There are only two Iconic Powers that directly affect Weaponization Rating.
Super-Strength Edit
In addition to doubling the base amount of damage, it allows players to pick up even bigger objects such as cars, buses and giant boulders, which in addition to having a wider area of attack also deal twice the damage of smaller items, providing an astonishing four times the damage yield of an un-powered throw.
Neo-Venom Boost Edit
While this is active, the character gains an extra 50% Weaponization Rating, meaning they will do 50% extra base damage with objects.

WIKY Morning Show--June 13, 2011
Happy Monday! In case you missed anything, here's what happened on today's WIKY Morning Show
** The first photos of Arizona Representative Gabrielle Giffords have been released by staffers on Facebook. And Giffords does not look like she was shot in the head in an assassination attempt in Tucson just over five months ago. Her recovery is nothing short of a miracle! You can check out the photos for yourself here:
** Just like Amy Poehler, Conan O'Brian spoke at a college commencement, this time at Dartmouth University and we had some highlights from the speech. He claimed that he took his job as speaker as seriously as some in the audience took an important term paper – late the night before, he started working on it.
** DJB's wife Lora returned home Sunday from a seven day Alaskan cruise with her mom and sister. While we were in the 95+ heat in Evansville, they enjoyed a week of 75 degree sunshine and spectacular scenery.
** How about this? A judge has ruled against Ford - More than 3,000 Ford dealerships will split $2 billion in damages because Ford made some dealers pay higher prices than others between 1987 and 1997. Just goes to prove....the government never forgets!
** A new survey asked men and women to rank the top five moments of their lives. Here's how it broke down.
For men, the top moments went: Getting married . . . having a child . . . moving out of their parents' home . . . getting their first job . . . and then buying a home.
For women, the top moments went: Having a child . . . getting married . . . moving out of their parents' home . . . buying a home . . . and then getting their first job.
The first kiss ranked sixth on both lists.
The survey also found the average ages of different milestones.
People get their first pet at 11 . . . have their first kiss at 14 . . . get their first job at 17 . . . fall in love at 18 . . . experience heartbreak at 20 . . . leave home at 20 .
Establish a career at 23 . . . get married at 25 . . . buy a home at 27 . . . have a child at 27 . . . divorce at 34 . . . have a midlife crisis at 41 . . . have their first grandchild at 54 . . . and retire at 59.
WIKY Morning Show listeners pointed out that the survey failed to mention – your first car, military service, and paying your mortgage off completely. Great stuff to think about on a Monday morning!
** We've heard in the past that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and the richest guy on the planet, is planning on giving almost all of his fortune to charity and that he isn't planning on leaving all that much to his kids. Gates has three kids, who are currently 15, 12, and nine and when he dies, each of them will get $10 million. Because, he says, he doesn't think that more would be "good for them." On the most recent "Forbes" billionaires list, Gates' net worth was estimated at$56 billion. He's already given away$28 billion to charity through the foundation he established with his wife Melinda. Gates said he's chosen to focus on curing malaria and not cancer because, "The world is putting massive amounts into cancer, so my wealth would have had a meaningless impact on that."
He did say that his kids TEASE him about his money by singing that Travie McCoy song "Billionaire" to him. (That might be why they're not getting much)!
** Culture Quiz for today-- Men use 95% of this, but women only use about 60%. What? (The clothes they pack to take on vacation!) Congrats to hall-of-famer Debbie Jackson of Evansville! She wins a breakfast combo from Subway, plus 2 tickets to Holiday World and Splashin' Safari!

Brechin City Player of the Year night is a bit different
Brechin City's players will find out who is chosen as their Player of the Year at a different style event this weekend.
The winner will be announced at a Comedy Night organised by their Supporters' Club which is being held on Saturday night in Brechin's City Hall.
The idea came about when the Glebe Park supporters' club committee member Drew Borland met former Brechin High School teacher, Bruce Fummey who now runs a successful comedy company.
The evening will consist of performances from Gary Little, Stu Who and Chris Conroy with Bruce Fummey comparing the event.
Borland said: "The players' awards will play a big part in the evening and it is also a chance for the fans to meet and reward them for their efforts in getting into a Play-Off place."

REACH Tracker - REACH Compliance Software
REACH software helps maintain SVHC lists and data against REACH requirements such as REACH registration for REACH compliance.
The Candidate List of SVHC changes constantly and is growing. There are now officially 161 chemicals (the number is soft because it depends on whether you count individual CAS numbers or just categories of substances). Expect bi-annual updates.
Be advised: four new substances have been added on December 17, 2014. The four newest additions are
- Cadmium chloride
- 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, dihexyl ester, branched and linear
- Sodium peroxometaborate
- Sodium perborate; perboric acid, sodium salt
To view the latest and keep a copy for your records, simply DOWNLOAD the PDF VERSION (complimentary) of the list pictured below. The current Candidate List here was updated December 17, 2014, and will be refreshed regularly from databases at Actio:
Instantly get your complimentary DOWNLOAD of the PDF VERSION of the complete Candidate List for your records. The downloadable list is nearly four pages long (pdf). Only one page is shown here, for brevity. The download is instant, with no registration fields to fill out or waiting for an email — just click and the file will be ready to download to your Desktop or Downloads folder.
REACH compliance has many requirements in the EU and for companies worldwide, including chemical substance registration. Companies and supply chains not in compliance with REACH regulation face penalties of varying degrees, from severe to hardly a hand-slap. But reputation and globalization roadblocks that pop up as a result of non-compliance can be worse and more costly than fines.
REACH software such as Actio's robust SaaS modules can help with everything from managing supplier SVHC information to REACH registration. Today's software can also help with related compliance issues as SVHC chemicals must also be declared vis-a-vis the CLP regulation, or the classification, labeling, and packaging of chemicals. The REACH software experts at Actio can answer questions you have about CLP notifications or registration of chemicals.
Actio's REACHtracker has been in use by international manufacturers with a global supply chain for years. The newest version of the software provides enhanced substance-level SVHC data management for REACH and CLP compliance in today's complex, global, multi-tiered supply chain networks.
REACHtracker automates the general chemical-substance and SVHC data gathering aspect of reach compliance, as well as the supply chain communication and CLP labeling and packaging. Now global manufacturers efficiently collaborate with hundreds of upstream suppliers — and downstream customers — when gathering and analyzing substance data and product use information for compliance and registration under the REACH regulation.
Click here to schedule a demo of Actio REACHtracker, the tool used all over the world by companies of all sizes for REACH compliance. Actio REACH software can be up and running within weeks in most cases. We invite you to take a few minutes to see how it works.
REACH compliance challenges
The European Union's new REACH regulation is both comprehensive and far-reaching. It sets out stringent requirements and challenges for the control of certain substances — and REACH-like regulation is already being pursued in the United States under EPA's TSCA, or Toxic Substances Control Act. The regulation aims to ensure proper health and safety testing is done on products that are used in manufacturing, made in, or sold into the EU.
More than 30,000 substances are expected to fall under the scope of REACH. This requires manufacturers, importers and distributors to identify and assess every substance used in the manufacture or preparation of a product.
Amounts used or purchased greater than one ton per year must be registered with the European Chemicals Agency or ECHA. Manufacturers, importers and distributors are also required to identify how their product is ultimately used in order to develop the appropriate exposure scenarios needed for an Extended SDS, which is the nouveau version of the MSDS in the United States.
REACH regulation poses significant supply chain risk for companies selling products and raw materials into and within the EU, also for companies who would like to. For a product to be REACH compliant, its constituent components must be REACH compliant.
If a manufacturer is not aware that a substance, regulated by REACH, is used in its product, and if the supplier has not registered that substance, they could face manufacturing disruption, or worse, a product ban in the EU -- along with the attendant PR and branding disaster.
The key to REACH compliance is supplier communication, because you must know every substance and SVHC that makes up every one of your products -- as well as the respective registration status of each substance under the REACH directives.
Manual tracking methods and inefficient tools like email and spreadsheets that were historically used to collect this very detailed substance-level information from hundreds to thousands of material suppliers are unmanageable. It's not cost effective either, as it's resource intensive, time-consuming, error-prone, and can lead to product launch delays, brand damage and loss of revenue.
Corporate reorganizations often require substance information to be re-sourced and recalculated as legal entities change.
Without effective communication and information sharing between upstream suppliers and downstream customers, manufacturers cannot quickly adapt and respond to dynamic global market conditions fueled by SVHC requirements under the REACH and CLP regulation. Furthermore, documenting supplier communication exchanges in one central location is essential in keeping compliant with REACH requirements.
Many companies say they need to regain control over their chemical ingredients -- and in fact their manufacturing on the whole. The alternative is being managed by chemical regulations on the back end — and be whipped about by product recalls and worse!
REACH compliance solution
Actio's REACHtracker is the perfect solution for some companies. REACHtracker is a web-based software system that automates and tracks the otherwise costly and time-consuming process of collecting and managing information required from suppliers and customers to comply with REACH directives.
By creating a secure, collaborative environment that automates communication to suppliers and customers and facilitates the collection of information online, manufacturers and distributors can significantly improve time to market – while ensuring REACH compliance.
Raw material and supplier information can be easily uploaded from ERP systems, like SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft or Microsoft Dynamics AX, or be imported from applications such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access. Once the supplier information is in the secure, permission-based system, a user can begin defining the email communication to suppliers. Driven by an integrated questionnaire and email campaign wizard, users can select the email template they want to use, the questions to be included in the online form, and list of suppliers to receive the email.
When suppliers receive the email, they are directed to click on a URL and enter their log-in credentials to complete the online questionnaire. The supplier then validates its company and product information and answers a series of questions. Data entered by suppliers is automatically updated in the centralized database and is immediately available to the manufacturer. The system tracks the progress of each supplier request and, if necessary, a follow-up e-mail can be generated for non-responsive suppliers. Once substance information is collected, it can be analyzed using REACHtracker's sophisticated parametric reporting tools that enable data to be rolled up into an unlimited number of custom reports. REACHtracker provides a BOM (bill of materials) view that immediately pinpoints products or ingredients that contain Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) or other substances being tracked.
Usage data can also be collected from downstream users similarly via REACHtracker e-mail campaign capabilities. Once downstream users are validated and usage information is updated, the REACHtracker user is automatically updated and notified.
REACHtracker is fully integrated with Actio's Enterprise Materials Information Management Solutions enabling automatic substance volume tracking (SVT), prescreening against regulatory lists such as the Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), analysis of substances for new material purchases, and SDS management, creation and distribution.
REACH software benefits
- Automates and tracks the progress of collecting data from suppliers and customers – saving you countless hours over manual methods
- Product and supplier information can be easily uploaded from ERP systems or imported from Microsoft Excel or Access applications
- Provides instantaneous structured communication through its integrated questionnaire and email campaign wizard - automatically driving data collection from suppliers and customers in a timely manner
- Provides multi-axis location hierarchies enabling the roll-up of substance information by legal entity, geographic location, and business unit; this is a critical capability in determining how your enterprise may be affected by REACH.
- Online questionnaire links directly to Actio's centralized database, providing your company immediate access to supplier information entered or changed
- REACHtracker supports VeriSign's Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology ensuring secure flow of data throughout the supply chain
- Database-driven platform provides unparalleled flexibility to quickly adapt to changes in global market conditions caused by the REACH
- Full integration with Actio's Enterprise Materials Information Management modules for substance volume tracking, authorization of new materials and storage, and dissemination of substance-level information
- Delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS) with no hardware or software to purchase, install or maintain; providing easy implementation and a rapid return on investment
Since companies must collect chemical and substance-level information about their products -- from both suppliers and customers -- and register the data with regulatory authorities, software is not longer a nice-to-have. It's necessary. Companies must have a secure and central relational database, a stronghold where materials information is stored and updated.
Actio's web-based REACHtracker is precisely that: a platform where suppliers and customers meet and cross-reference their product and compliance data.
REACHtracker simplifies environmental regulatory compliance by automating the supply chain communications, data-gathering, roll-up, and analysis necessary under the stringent environmental regulation. Actio REACHtracker 2.0 was released in March of 2010. REACHtracker 2.0 provides still greater time savings, risk mitigation, cost management, as well as product and brand fortification.
Proven, market-driven and market-tested REACHtracker 2.0 features include:
- Enhanced visual reporting
- Enhanced downstream communication tools for collecting usage data
- Managers can see quantity changes and threshold levels at-a-glance
- Improved supplier permissioned account access and even greater data security
- Advanced alerts when a supplier has added, changed, or reviewed data
- Advanced alerts when inventory is approaching and exceeding substance volume limits
- Automation and tracking data collection from suppliers and customers
- Bill of Materials (BOM)-level data management
- Many other real-world-tested features to make REACH compliance easy -- as well as to save you time and money managing this complex and fluctuating multi-dimensional data set
Stanley Works uses REACHtracker to communicate with their supply chain network and manage materials information for REACH requirements -- headquartered in the Belgium location. They've been successfully using REACHtracker since 2008. Click the link to read the case study of how REACHtracker worked for them.
Unlike other REACH compliance software, REACHtracker securely handles multi-level (product-level to BOM-level to chemical-level) data management and roll-up— throughout a multi-tiered supply chain. So, for instance, you can measure at-a-glance how many ounces, say, of cadmium, or of acetone, are in your product(s); you can track where the stuff is coming from; then you can report on the amounts as needed. REACHtracker makes your product and raw materials inventory both accountable and defensible.

Recently, I had the chance to chat with Peter about his work at Destineer Studios, his past at Apple, Halo, the future, and one subject so emotionally charged, I almost decided to forget the entire interview.
Mike Phillips: Can you give us a brief history of yourself in the gaming industry?
Mike Phillips: You started Destineer/Bold about a year and a half ago. Can you tell us how things are going?
Peter Tamte: Most of the work we've been doing during the past 1.5 years has been on our original content. This is coming along nicely. We hope to start showing what we've been working on publicly in the near future.
Additionally, we've brought two games to the Macintosh so far, Age of Empires II and Links Championship Edition, and have announced two more -- Halo and Flight Simulator. We have a bunch more announcements to make this year, as well.
Mike Phillips: Now that Links Championship Edition is finally shipping, do you have any regrets from its journey to the market?
Peter Tamte: Well, I certainly would have liked to see it ship when we originally had hoped! However, Links is a game with a rich Macintosh heritage. We wanted to make sure it got done right.
Mike Phillips: Will we see the Links Course Converter?
Peter Tamte: Yes. It was stupid of us not to include it on any of the four disks that come with Links. I mean, four disks! Couldn't we have put the course converter on one of them? Once it's done, we'll post it for free download on our website. Then, we'll stop doing stupid things forever.
Mike Phillips: Can you give us any sort of update on the status of MS Flight Simulator?
Peter Tamte: No. We're not going to comment about release dates until we're more comfortable with the development progress. Flight Simulator is a massive project.
Mike Phillips: After Halo's announcement, the Mac gaming community let out a collective "w00t!" of joy. Can you give us a progress update on Halo and will it be a simultaneous Mac/PC release?
Peter Tamte: Everyone who is involved in the project is committed to a simultaneous Windows/Mac release for Halo. The progress on Halo is meeting all the internal schedules so far.

So, last night I went home, took my dog for a pathetic 30 minute run, came home and made leftover tacos for dinner, and watched another thrilling episode of Hell's Kitchen.
