The Complete Conspiracy Reference Thread (A 5 Year Summary of ATS)
Ladies and Gentleman,
I have laboured how to start this thread, thought out many a witty opener to grab people's attention. In the end I have decided to let the thread do the talking so to speak.
Though I am but a stranger to ATS now, I do come back here intermittently just to get a heads up, to indulge in a little nostalgia. You see it was a little over five years ago that I created my account here and joined the 'Alternative News' community' it having welcomed me with opened arms. I was going through what was still undoubtedly the hardest time I have ever (or likely to have) in my life, and during the midst of my distress a friend made an offhand comment that changed my life forever.
'Have you seen a film called Zeitgeist?'
I am still tumbling down the rabbit hole now. After watching that movie, we talked about some of the topics and how strange it was that no-one ever discussed such things. Then he hit me we the next blow:
'Have you been on a website called ATS?'
What a journey it has been. Having come through my turmoil a new person, here was a new world of information awaiting me, topics that were rarely discussed i9n everyday life but to me seemed the only topics worth talking about. Who cared how good the latest Spiderman film was!? Didn't they know the market collapse of 2008 was staged!?
There seemed so much to learn, and so little time. But instead of being daunted by the prospect; I jumped in head first. I ordered my first books, downloaded my first documentaries. With every one of them I felt like I had another piece of the puzzle, and the ultimate answer to it all seemed in sight. How wrong I had been.
The solution, the answer to whatever I was searching for ever eluded me, and in an effort to keep pace I devoured more books, watched more films, searched for new blogs. The list grew and grew, and five years on, it is bigger than ever. So I have decided to draw a line in the sand and share with you what I have come across so far.
By no means is this list exhaustive, I wouldn't possible be able to keep track of everything. What I have done is have the best possible go though, listing all of the items I am currently in possession of (and including a few guilty pleasures, for old times' sake).
Why have I done this? Because it took a hell of a long time for me to produce this list, and if someone would have presented me with it in the first instance, with all the duds removed, and told me that all I ever needed to know was included; I would have bitten their hand off. Just think of the time I would have saved! Well now, hopefully, I will be saving someone else that time.
Then that somebody might go on to read more books, watch more documentaries with spare time, and might even decide to take it on their selves to write a new, revised, more complete list for someone else to find.
I hope they do.
You have no idea how much time it has taken me to compile this list! I have been literally working for two full days, taking photos, uploading, compressing, searching for every title on Amazon and IMDB, creating lists, copying all the required links and ISBNs into a spread sheet, copying all of that information into a Word file, renaming and uploading every photo to ATS, copying all of the picture code links into this document and then adding the HTML code to every heading and link. Not to mention any de-bugging I may have to do when I finally post this!
My hands are cramping and chances are I will not be able to sleep tonight, but as you will see from my summary at the end (please take the time to read this part if you viewing this thread, even if it means skipping through the list to get there) it was totally worth it.
As well as posting here on ATS I have made the decision to post all of the titles onto Pinterest, Amazon and IMDB as well as my own blog which I haven't updated in a very long time. Please feel free to check out this pages, share and leave comments; anything that you feel will spread this to a wider audience. It has taken a lot of time to put together and the more people that benefit from it the better.
TBC.. Over what is probably going to be several posts... Please stick with me!

Well there you are, a list of over 200 books and documentaries that I have watched or read over the last five years. It is remarkable to me upon reflection of just how much of my life has focussed around such topics, or to be more specific on the search for knowledge. I suppose it sums me up perfectly; always looking to learn more, to better myself in some way.
If you have endured the full list above, then you probably know more about me than even my closest friends, my colleagues, or even my family! As I am sure you know yourself; some people have that thirst; that drive, and some people don't. Most people don't in fact. Not only do they not, but they are not interested, at all, and will even criticise you or make fun. I have had it all. But I refuse to be like most; sitting on the couch eating potato chips whilst the real World, not the one portrayed on reality TV passes me by.
How fitting it is that the last entry on the list is Zeitgeist; the one that started it all off for me. The list was alphabetical by the way, so it wasn't planned that way per se. I suppose you are probably wondering right now, 'So? What's your conclusion?' Is there a global banking conspiracy? Is the Queen of England really a Reptile? Did Bush really plan 911? Are we really living in a computer simulation or are we an alien experiment?
The truth is.. I don't know. I don't know, and I don't much care. What I have learned more than anything is that the truth is a good concept, but it doesn't hold much sway in our everyday reality. What does hold much sway is how you feel, how you think. Don't waste your time, sitting in a darkened room worrying about the conspiracy to reduce the world's population by two thirds; go out in the sunshine for a walk and enjoy nature instead.
That isn't to say that I have resorted to burying my head in the sand; that is the polar opposite of where I am right now. The world, our world is full of great injustice, and were it not for me steeling myself, I swear I would despair every time I lifted my gaze from the ground beneath my feet. The world needs to change, and it will. But the only way that change will manifest itself is if people like you and me, having learnt the things we have learned; instead of feeling defeated, we feel empowered. We are the 99%, and don't you ever forget it.
Life is a mystery, life is a journey. Enjoy it, continue to evolve, strive to be the best you can be, help your fellow man (and woman) and the world has no option to respond in a positive way. My journey does not end here, I am sure I will be back in another 5 years with a bigger list. Information is increasing at an ever faster rate, and though it is hard to keep track of all the latest advancements, it's worth trying to keep your head above water.
For every dark night, there is a brighter day to follow.
Below are five of my favourite threads, one for each year of my membership here! I hope you get the time to check them out; I would love it if some of them got revived as part of this one. It would be like my last five birthdays had all come at once!

There are not words to adequately describe the the time and effort you have put into this undertaking.
It will most definitely take a bit of time to work through and get a hold on all this information.
All I can say is thank you for sharing your journey with us, fellow traveler.

I have not posted on ATS in over a year, and You have caused me to respond to something that has been posted on ATS.
Thank You so much for the effort you have put into this, and for the oh so wise words of wisdom in your closing statement...
If we would all just open our eyes, spread around what we see, add a little love to it, and just enjoy life....We would be amazed at how much wonder is still out there...
Good luck and Bless you in your endeavors.

This is a amazing list and a beautifully written OP
but I am left wondering, what is it?
it seems to me like its catalog of the OP's personal library some of which i have read but most of which i will confess to having not read.
yet to me this thread is little more than a reading list for those interested in the OP's topic
it just leaves me wondering what the point of it all is.
again, greatest respects to the OP for a wonderfully written OP

It is just that I suppose; my own library! The point? As I alluded to in my post, if five years ago someone had presented me with a list such as this then maybe I could have saved a lot of time sifting through the crappy the blogs; getting the viruses after trying to download .pdfs from the hidden internet which turned out to be New Age BS, paying the money for the book that left me feeling cheated.... maybe.
Or maybe it was the journey that was more important than the content and if someone had presented me with such a list then my experience would have paled in comparison? Maybe.
What I wanted to do was write a personal account of my findings of each one... but the undertaking was so great that I faltered at the prospect.
Every one of those images tells me a story; brings back a memory of some time or some place, be it reading 'The Power of Now' whilst bathing looking out over Lake Windermere... Having seen someone reading 'Conversations' on a train down to Reading on my first jolly out as a newly employed engineer.. or reading 'Tales to His Grandson' whilst relaxing in Sharm El Sheik watching the sun go down.
I know viewers of this thread will not realise those sentiments, but I hope they get something out of it none the less. I will stick around for a while and would welcome any discussion on the titles listed.
But for now its time for sleep and dreams of ISBNS.....
Thanks for the reply, Take Care.

Carlito, we have interacted some in the past and like a few others have said, I havn't seen you post in a while.
I appreciate the effort that you have put into this thread and for linking everything. I have read some, others are on my list to get to and some, unfortunately, I have to admit I hadn't heard of.
A thread or book I hadn't seen you mention and I think it's something you should consider reading as it fits in very well with what you have presented here is this...
Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars.
I think you'll find it's worth your time.
There is another that I'll pm you so as not to clog up the thread with more links.
Great work putting this together.

Might I suggest you check out my book? (link in my sig) It is a fictional sci-fi thriller, that includes several conspiracies discussed right here on ATS. (I even give ATS a mention.

If you want a scholarship, you have to do well in school. If you want to do well in school, there is some information you need to know. The information you need to know is this: everything you learn in school is false. It is not dumbed down, it is outright false. The psychological mechanisms that hide this are VERY similar to the psychological mechanisms used by religion. The network of liars is massive, and it includes Ivy League professors and textbook writers. The sheer size of it handicaps people.
Remember that globe in your kindergarten class room? It taught you the world is divided. It was used to lie to you. It hides the fact that the world is ruled by one entity. And if you tell people the world is ruled by one entity, they will point to the globe rather than the bible as proof that you are wrong. Was Hitler really serious about winning World War II? Delaying the invasion of Russia by several weeks and letting German forces get hammered by winter? Bombing London instead of ports and infrastructure? Did the major powers that assisted Germany financially after World War I really not know what Germany was doing with the money? Could the Americans that made aircraft carriers and B-17's really not make a tank better than the Sherman? Or did American generals need their tank crews to be blasted to pieces in order to create the appearance of a "struggle", much like the struggles in other religions. Is the founding of our country logically sound? People fighting the government over a high tax on tea, yet no one today fighting the government over a high tax on cigarettes which are actually addictive? If the problem was high tax across the board and not just tea, how do you explain happy nations like Norway and Sweden with their high taxes? No taxation without representation? Puerto Rico seems to be cool with it. They pay a federal income tax and have no one in the House or Senate. Was Paul Revere really so damn important that everyone in the nation has "The British are coming! The British are coming!" etched into their head for life? Or are there psychological reasons for most of this stuff? Would IBM really concede the most important part of the computer, the operating system, to a kid? Could Microsoft really be so stupid as to enter the smart phone and search engine arenas so late? Could Xerox execs really not see the practical value of a computer mouse?
The same thing that ruled England and the US before the Revolutionary War ruled England and the US after the Revolutionary War. The war was just to make the illusion of two separate countries seem real. World War II was architected before it even started, including the Holocaust (yes millions of Jews died), with the outcome predetermined. The entire Nazi leadership was aware of this, and they lied to everyone in Germany just as Churchill lied to everyone in Britain and Stalin to everyone in Russia and so on. The leaders were all on the same team. The ones in front of the crowds read their scripts and practiced their parts. Acting is their forte. But surely there could be no such massive network of people across several industries heinous enough to create the Holocaust as part of some sort of godless religion for the masses right? Oh how wrong you are.
Once you see your religion (even though it doesn't have a god, heaven, or hell), you will understand what school is. Once you understand what school is, you will see sentence after sentence of lies in your history book (and other books). Once you see lie after lie placed right before your very eyes, and you watch the teacher and students around you unquestionably absorb it all as truth, a profound change will happen within you. You will start to receive dopamine for doing well at school, the same thing that makes you feel good after you eat ice cream. This change is the key to unlocking your ability to excel at school. And that, my friend, is how you get a scholarship!
People are funny. I can tell someone that they will one day believe 9/11 was an inside job because if you look at it, evidence was obviously left behind on purpose which indicates 9/11 and 9/11-Truth are part of the same plan. Sure enough, one day they finally believe it was an inside job, and then much later they see that the evidence was left behind on purpose. And the funny thing is, everything related to 9/11 and 9/11-Truth is to hide the fact the one thing already rules the world, so the individual that took much convincing of the obvious hasn't gotten anywhere. Oh and do you want to know what the government was hiding behind the fence and armed guards at Area 51? The answer is simple: nothing. The whole thing was a staged social experiment. It was conspiracy research that was all part of a larger body of conspiracy research to see if real conspiracies like Ivy League professors lying directly to their students faces about everything could spread, and also if real conspiracies could be sabotaged by manufactured conspiracies. And another FYI, the Arab Spring leads to terrorism and vandalism in Saudi Arabia which leads to slight changes in oil prices which leads to hurting South African industries which leads to an increase in violence against poor white people there which leads to a very racially right-wing Eastern Europe which leads to trouble for the illusionary new world order. This is all planned, and has been since before you were born.

Seeing that you know everything and have just answered every question related to conspiracies there is no further purpose to this site. Hey ATS you may as well close down now as all of our questions have been answered.
No wait those are your opinions which everyone is entitled to have, theorem not proved but many interesting thoughts none the less. The OP has spent a great deal of time and research in presenting this thread and has linked a great deal of source material.
Nothing is as cut and dry as you profess, however I agree with you about the pointlessness of the school system and their method of indoctrinating people into various classes depending on how high up the ladder you have the ability to climb by learning from the text books they make part of the curriculum..

Probably so!
Why not sell the Smiths & buy a Glock outright? If your two Smiths are in decent shape, you should easily be able to get $300-$350 for each of them. Then you could go buy yourself the G26 for $500 and come out money ahead. Plus, you'd have a new, rather than used, G26. JMO

Not making decisions like you are.But if you like being where you are at, having to not be able to buy things you desire because you have bills... then by all means, throw money away. But hey if it works for you, and where you are is all good, why did you have to post on a public forum full of strangers to justify your existence and decisions?
It's my opinion that if u are happy than its all good! Ur a grown ass man with the right to make ur own decisions,so people that don't even know u criticizing u is their problem! And as for anyone thinkin they are better off than u...if they wer doin that well the loss of around $200 to be happy wouldn't bother them at all! In my experience people that have a ton of money don't mind " immature/amateur" spending of money if it makes them happy.
Congratulations on ur new gun!!!
Actually hammer, the only people who have a lot of money who don't care about throwing it away are professional athletes and music stars. The rest I know care where the money goes and that is how they are able to maintain their lifestyles. It is not about being better than anyone else. It is the simple fact that he asked if his trade which netted the other person 2-300 dollars was a crazy trade.... then when he got the response he didn't like, he took offense to that.
Same thing goes for the guys who come on here post that they are trying to choose between two weapons when they have already decided, then get all defensive when they don't get the justification they need. If you are on here asking it is because you have confidence issues and are in need of justifications for your actions.... otherwise you wouldn't be asking.
That is called character. If you can't handle the answer, don't ask the question.
I would not make the trade, just me, I think it was good for you!
I said that they don't care to spend or lose money if it makes them happy! I personally don't have a lot money being I'm still In school and only 22. But my dad and many family members are beyond what u would call well off. And none of them are concerned with money how they spend money when it comes to theirs or a loved ones happiness! I'm not saying they run around throwing away money for shits and giggles but if somethin makes them happy, they do it.
I will agree on ur point about people getting a lil to defensive or offended on them not getting the answers they want to hear.
I would not have traded.
But I am not you.
You should have put a stipulation, that if your wife was not fond of the G26, you could undo the deal.

I just feel that if he can't afford to spend 400-500 bucks due to bills, then he should be a little more careful with his dealings. Throwing money away is never good. He could have sold both pistols for 300-350 each, bought a used 26 for 4-5 hundred then had an extra 1-200 to spend on his bills. But he doesn't want to be where I am at so I suppose he is content with downgrading and losing money unnecessarily on tangible goods. I cannot see how having a certain weapon but being saddled with bills can make anyone happy..... but to each his own. Just my advice to him.... but he don't wanna be there.
It's not what you say, but how you say it. Hey, if condescension and wild assumptions make you feel more like a man have at it. The internet is full of keyboard warriors.
I am sorry you didn't like what I had to say. I feel it is good advice.... but of course it is not what you wanted to hear. I'd rather be blunt than beat around the bush and be coy in my responses. I made no assumptions, you stated you had bills, you stated you can't afford to outright buy something... not me. But carry on. Good luck to you.

My Honey Brown Ale calls for honey OR brown sugar as a priming sugar. The salesperson at my local homebrew shop said that he never uses anything but "normal" priming sugar. Two interesting side notes: 1) The local homebrew shop does not stock or sell honey or brown sugar. 2) The recipe I am using is one of the "canned" recipes that said shop has on their website. Please chime in on this. Do you have any good or bad experiences using honey or brown sugar for priming purposes?
No help here?
You can use either. But it will rest in a different flavor, not a lot but a tiny bit. Regular priming sugar ferments out completely and doesn't lean rally any flavor but honey and Brown sugar are I believe more complex so they will leave a little bit of flavor. That's just my thoughts good Lu k
Just be aware that you need to use a different amount if you go with honey. Not sure about brown sugar, since I've never primed with it. General rule of thumb is to use 1.25x the normal sugar amount in honey to obtain the same carbonation level. Also, honey can take longer to carbonate than the other sugars. I wouldn't be discouraged though, since I've used it before with good results. Use this site to help figure out how much honey to use. Keep in mind, you want to WEIGH honey just as you would regular priming sugar. Don't use volume measurements for this.
According to John Palmer, you can use either for priming. Honey is 95% fermentable & Brown sugar is 97% fermentable. Meaning you may be able to taste the percentage that is unfermentable. For a 5 gallon batch he recommends 4.7 oz of honey or 4 oz of brown sugar. I haven't used either, but the above information is in the book How to Brew, and it's been dead on accurate for everything that I have tried. Good luck!
I've used honey with great success. The head and carbonation I got from using honey was very nice. Small, tight bubbles, and great lacing down the glass. Just make sure you use a priming calculator to determine how much you should use...
Jarrodaden, there are plenty of sources to say that Priming sugar (corn sugar I'm guessing) is NOT the only way. I've been using regular white cane sugar for the last few batches and it's worked great. You can use honey, brown sugar, molasses, Maple syrup, DME, candy sugar, and probably more things that aren't coming to mind just yet. Molasses has the least amount of fermentable sugars of the ones listed, so it will impart the most noticeable flavor.
You can try using this one. It gives you examples of different volumes depending on stylehttp://www.fattymattybrewing.com/hom...r&action=entry

The Ontario Energy Board is giving us a little break when it comes to the hit on our natural gas bills. It's out today with an announcement that because of the long, cold, nasty weather we had this winter, it will extend the period that most residential customers will have to pay Enbridge Gas Distribution. Enbridge had announced during the winter that because of the coldest winter on record in 37 years in this province, they would be forced to hike their rates charged for gas, by 40%. That worked out to about 400 dollars a year on the average bill. But the OEB says instead of the standard 12 months, Enbridge will be able to recover their costs over a 27 month period. The bad news is that your bill is still going up on July 1st, if you are a customer of Enbridge. However, the board says that by spreading the impact of the rate increase over an extended time period, that will lessen the impact you'll feel on your bill.

It was just okay! Didn't think it worth the price. The best part was the location!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location, they are planning to upgrade..."
Great staff and location can't be beat! This will again be an incredible hotel once it gets a new owner and is remodeled.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Very old . Beds are horrible.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very convenient. Dated but historic."
Not for those looking for modern rooms and facilities, but is a fun place to stay due to the history of the building. It goes perfect with the overall feel of the city.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel has seen better days"
The hotel is conveniently located across the street from the Seattle ferry dock, but the entire property is a bit run down. It was a very warm weekend and the window in the room didn't open enough to cool down the room. The hotel doesn't include breakfast and there wasn't a coffee shop very close by.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"All about Location!!"
The Huntingdon is in a great location - close to harbor, sights, and restaurants. We were greeting warmly and our room was your standard two queen bed hotel room. We did not have a harbor view which was fine as we were not in our room very much. It could have been cleaner - I don't think anyone has vacuumed around the edges of the rug for awhile and […] cleaned around the sink otherwise it was clean and neat. The room was very warm and we only had a standing fan to use to help cool the room at night. We ate breakfast at the Gatsby the first morning, and all was good until we wanted to pay - our server was busy making a "Lunch special" sign and other staff members were busy socializing. We finally had to go up to the cash register in order to pay. We did not return there but went to other restaurants for breakfast. We would definitely stay in this hotel again - it needs some updating, new bedspreads etc., the picture on the wall in room 211 is falling out of it's frame and looked tacky, but for the most part and for the cost, which was very reasonable, we were happy there!

Very nice....great location.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not like it used to be."
We have been staying at this hotel for the past 25 years. Last week we again stayed and actually left early. No hot water, completely run down and needing repair to compete with the least expensive chain motel. It was sad to see how far it has fallen. The staff was cold, short tempered and unprofessional because they knew most guests weren't happy […] from having no air conditioning, no view of the water as advertised and a general lack of empathy for any minor or major problems now associated with new big corporation owners who obviously will not invest a penny in making the place better. We will never stay there again. Too bad, because in its day it was a great old well maintained classic hotel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Friendly staff and hotel with a lot of character."
Very convenient location near ferry and downtown amenities.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Repeat visitor"
As before, our visit was just what we needed for our overnight stay in Victoria. They only drawback was the hardness of the mattress. A bit softer would be great!!!!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Reasonable and roomy"
Great location. Very close to the Coho ferry from Port Angeles and close to Victoria's downtown sites. We opted for the room with only one bed, which gave us a full size sofa and the feel of a real suite for not much money. Largest room we've stayed at in Victoria and a partial water view!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Victoria advenbture"
Great Location very helpful staff - rooms need updating - mattress unconfortableGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"nice place"
Great location very helpful staffGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great historic hotel with an excellent location."
You can smell the history and the age of the hotel when you walk into your room. The rooms have been updated and are very clean but no A/C if you stay in the summer when it's hot. Location and historic value is excellent.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great water views"
Onsite restaurants have limited offerings but overall a very nice hotelGenuine Expedia guest review
"Slow cleaning"
Arrived at 3pm, the room was still being cleaned, and took another 30 minutes to finish. Other than that, a few details were missed in the cleaning of the room. The room gave felt old and stuffy. There were better options in the area, I wish I would have picked a different hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"The only nice thing is location."
The room was somewhat smelly. The pillows were nothing but a joke - absolutely flat, we had to ask for new ones and the girl at the front desk said she can't give us more than 2 (for the family of 4). Water in the shower keeps changing temperature, because of people in other rooms using water. Faucet was spraying water in all directions. Wi-Fi was extremely […] unstable, disappearing every few minutes, practically unusable. There's no air conditioning, only heaters, so rooms get quite warm and stuffy in summer. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Location Location Location"
If you want to be near the US Ferry terminal, near the port area and the sight seeing then this location has it. The staff were wonderful and quite nice and the main entrance, sitting room and lounge area were beautiful as the building is old. The rooms and hallways could all use a face lift though and it looks more like "grandmas" place with old furnishings […] and wall paper. I stayed with my group for the weekend and we all found it quite adequate. If planning a stay in the summer you should know that the windows do not open very wide and there is no air conditioning, though a small fan is in each room. Still for the staff, the price and the location I would stay there again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Our stay last weekend"
I really liked this hotel. It was close to everything and in a great location. I was not happy that our room was not ready when we checked it after 4 pm or so. The manger said they were short staffed and apologized. We had wait for about 35 minutes in the lobby area until the room was finally ready. The only comp we received was complementary parking […] and that's it. It would have been nice to get 15% off for dinner or something for the long wait. We checked in on a Friday and with the weekend being a busy time the management at this hotel should have been more prepared. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very nice"
We were only there one night, but it was nice. The facility was very clean and close to a lot of activities.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good Location"
This hotel is literally across the street from the Ferry-super convenient when you aren't familiar with the area. Price was right, great location, walking distance to downtown and lots of bars and restaurants. The bed and breakfast next door serves a nice breakfast. Hotel is older and could use some up dating, but is clean. No air conditioning in room […] but they did have box fans which was enough. However the weather was perfect 75 or so-not too hot. The beds are very hard. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Awesome location, good price, rusty but clean"
Some rooms have harbor view, which is fantastic! It's an old hotel, but well maintained. There is no air conditioning, don't know how warm it gets in the summer.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"confortable, convenient lodging"
Victoria is a beautiful destinationGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Location, But an Old Hotel"
The room smelled a bit musty, but overall it met my needs. The bed was very comfortable and the appearance of the room was satisfactory. There was no air conditioning, but I opened the glass door and the main room door, and a strong breeze cooled things off within seconds. The noise at night was minimal so I was able to get a good night's sleep all […] three nights I was there. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"No lighting in Lounge."
Room wasn't made up until after 4 both days. Lamps in room we had to use a bandaid to hold it together. Rugs in haways looked dirty. Lounge area had very poor lighting. No comfortable chairs in lobby. Wall paper peeling off walls.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location - bit outdated."
Right in the midst of the harbor area - the hotel is within walkin distance of all major attractions in Victoria. The hotel, while very pleasant, is also very outdated. Our room likely had 't been refurbished or modernized in 20 years. But, it was also the most cost effective hotel in the area - so still worth it. Just go into the experience with your […] expectations based on the low price, and you will be satisfied. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Walking distance to all attractions"
Location, location was excellent for our visit to Victoria. FRONT desk was very helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Okay If You Can stand The Heat"
The hotel is pretty much as expected as a 3 star but there is no air conditioning (except for the top floor suites). Furnishings are quite dated but clean and in decent condition. Very good location. It does charge for parking. In room WiFi was hit and miss.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Close to all, but needs updating and upgrading."
The hotel was in a very good location, however, this hotel needs upgrading and updating. It smelled of pets and smoke. Whenever we asked for anything, they just did not have it or it was out of service. they should not mention facilities that they do not have available, such as pool and sauna. I was not happy with this hotel at all. The Days Inn couple […] of doors down had better service and updated facilities. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to downtown"
Convenient Convenient Convenient Convenient Convenient Convenient ConvenientGenuine Expedia guest review
"Perfect price-quality match"
We stayed over weekend in suit room. It was clean and tidy although a little dated. Hotel's location was just great! It could not be better for the price we've got. We would definitely recommend this hotel to our friends.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Good location. Hotel needs updating and is understaffed. Looked like every one just going through motion waiting on something to change.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Awesome location"
Front desk staff were really friendly and helpful. Hotel room is pretty basic. Curtains needed replacing (holes in them), fridge had a broken leg.Genuine Expedia guest review
"nice hotel good staff good location"
great location very good staff overlooking bay not fancy but nice.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"The ONLY thing good was the location."
Room was dirty and old. Woke up to seagulls squawking all morning long. Kitchen and bathrooms were dirty. Dinning/Lounge was closed. Would never stay here again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location, old and quaint, but needs updating"
Mattress was not very comfortable, bedding could be upgraded to be more comfortable and modern. Location was awesome, nearby restaurants outstanding. Loved the Gatsby mansion breakfast our last morning - wish I had eaten there for dinner also. It was very quiet even though it is just across the street from the ferry entrance. Quaint, older hotel that […] needs some updating. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Great location! Only a block from the parliament building and close to all the downtown activities. I will stay here again if I go back.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location"
Victoria is beautiful. Hotel is in a great location - one block from the Wharf walkway. Close to shops and restaurants. Hotel lobby looked promising - beautiful, old woodwork, etc. Rooms are in need of serious remodeling.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Victoria Anniversary"
The staff at the Hotel were great people. The location was good too! No air conditioning but they provided a fan in the room which worked just fine. No pool or spa but the price was not as much as other hotels in the area. Ceiling did not have much sound dampener so kids running around were a bit bothersome.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Cheap and close to Port Angeles ferry"
The hotel and room were ok, if a bit tired. The biggest complaint was that the room didn't have air conditioning, and even though a portable fan was provided, the room was still very stuffy. The room had a balcony door that stepped out onto a rundown walkway/balcony that was neglected, badly in need of paint, and right next to a series of HVAC units […] that were partially obscured by beat-up pieces of lumber. Parking was a bit convoluted; we came in late evening to the parking area that was recommended to us, but it was full. When we asked at the front desk, they said we could drive around to the other side of the building to another parking area. Seems like they could have pointed out both options when we checked in. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"decent value in excellent location"
All the other reviews are spot-on. The location of this hotel is amazing. It's basically across the street from the Clipper terminal and inner harbor, and just a five-minute walk from the Parliament building, the Empress, and the Government Street shopping district. The neighborhood is all fancy houses and nice hotels. Compared to the other places I […] found nearby, the Huntingdon was an excellent value. However, it's not without its problems. The interior is showing its age -- worn, dated carpet and furnishings, no AC, etc. Everything seemed clean enough but the "old" feeling remained. The free wi-fi didn't work in our room; we had to go to the lobby before our laptop would find the network. The hotel comped our parking to make up for the inconvenience. The desk staff was friendly, professional, and helpful. On the whole, I would definitely stay here again. The dated feel was a small drawback compared to the amazing location and value. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Dated Property"
We stayed two nights in early August. The property is very dated and in need of an upgrade. No air conditioning, but there was a fan in our room. Limited views of the Inner Harbor as there is a large property behind the hotel. Our second floor room looked directly into the the second floor of that building. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. […] Hot tub and sauna were being removed and the space being repurposed. Hotel provided secure parking below the hotel but charged $9.00 to do so. There is a great little restaurant called Santigo's next to the hotel. We highly recommend eating there. We only had breakfast, but took a looke at the dinner menu and were quite impressed. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Very old building, smells old, and HOT! There's no air conditioning. Photos online are deceiving. I reserved 2 new castle rooms because the room in the picture looks modern. So we checked in and was disappointed with what i saw. They gave us an old room that looks like a norfolk room in the picture online. I complained in the front desk and showed the […] attendant the pictures online and demanded to have a more modern room. And he said, "to be honest, the new castle room photo online is just for promotio." And that if i want a more modern room with an air conditioning, i'll have to pay $50 more for each rooms. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Across street from the harbor in Victoria, BC"
Spent 3 nights. Room was on second (top) floor facing harbor with a small kitchenette. Window view was of manicured courtyard and very modest view of the water. Hotel and furnishings are showing age but was clean. At check-in, management had a slightly less expensive room which was offered to us. I used the guest laundry room equipped with 2 washers […] (one behind the door) and 2 dryers. Following a tip from another guest, I used the dryer with the quicker drying time. Washer had large load capacity. Laundry room did not have a folding table but did have comfortable chairs outside the laundry room so the noise and heat were not a problem. The dryer filters are accessible for cleaning by guests and I suspect that the dryer exhaust vents don't get lint removal very often. When we returned from our day's adventures on the second day, we discovered the room door held open by the night latch bar which kept the door from closing and locking. It would be impossible for whomever who had serviced the room to not have noticed that the door did not close completely and lock. Nothing was missing. I reported it to management and they were very apologetic. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Huntington hotel- enjoyed my stay"
This hotel hasn't been updated recently, but for the price and location, it was a great deal. I'd stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Only complaint is that the beds were very hard. Great location, clean and pleasant staff.Genuine Expedia guest review
"The location was great. this won't let me type."
It was a great hotel. The staff found a convenient place for our bicycles. We enjoyed bicycling in Victoria.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Convenient hotel but room was uncomfortable"
The location of this hotel was ideal and it was very affordable which were both a plus. Our room was uncomfortable because there was no air conditioning and the window barely opened. I thought in the evenings when it cooled outdoors that would help our room cool down but it did not. Thankfully the staff provided me an extra fan when I asked for one […] . Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
This hotel has no AC unit and it is too hot to get rest at night. It is impossible to stay in the room due to high room temperature especially in the afternoon. This hotel is listed as three star hotel is misleading. In addition, the carpet is dirty and smell mold. The sofa chair is broken. People should avoid this hotel as much as you can.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Leading Off: NBA's top stars likely to play in Rio in '16
If you're a fan of NBA veterans dominating the Olympics, it looks like you'll have at least one more Summer Games to enjoy the United States whipping all comers.
On the eve of this morning's gold-medal game against Spain (7 a.m., Ch. 3), the head of basketball's governing body said he doesn't expect an age limit for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, squashing chatter that today might be the final appearance at the Olympics for the NBA's biggest stars.
FIBA secretary general Patrick Baumann told the Associated Press that potential rule changes have to be proposed this year, so it's "probably premature to make any changes to the Olympic program."
NBA Commissioner David Stern has quietly been pushing for a model like soccer, using a 23-and-under rule with three roster exceptions for older players. And at least one team owner, the Dallas Mavericks' Mark Cuban, has publicly questioned if it's in the best interests financially of the NBA and its owners to have the league's top stars showcased in the Olympics every four years.
If there had been a 23-and-under rule this year, you wouldn't have been able to watch LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Deron Williams and Tyson Chandler this morning. Nor would you have been able to see Pau and Marc Gasol play for Spain.

Chill Factor

we taught this when it first came out, and still the classes love it we hope it will stay around for a while yet, this will onle happen if the djs keep playing it!!!
Bottle It Up
karen dunbar - 17/02/2003
really nice dance, my classes love it and a good beginner dance as well, music is good and dance flows well. well done we need more of these
Di - 17/02/2003
Just learned "Showdown" which although has interesting choreography was easy enough to pick up and great to dance. The optional arm movements make it a bit different and fit well with the music ( a great track by new artist Jodi-Lei ). Well done, I'm sure this will be a very popular dance.
What About Me
Jim - 16/02/2003
This is a great dance to a great track. Just about the right level where all can enjoy it.
1000 Years (Or More)
marion winfield - Happy Stompers in Blackpool, Lancs - 16/02/2003
1000 years (or more) by Martin Ritchie we dance this to the Shakin' Stevens track - A Love Worth Waiting For - a dream of a dance to teach & good dreamy music to match. well done martin.
Badda-Boom! Badda-Bang!
John Asquith - 16/02/2003
This is a super little improver dance from Karen Hunn - the song and the dance fit really well together. A great fun dance that deserves to be popular!!
Southern Boy
Anne "Shy-anne's LDC" - 15/02/2003
a dance for everyone to do, great track nice one for improvers and inters to dance together, good fun for those who go the wrong way during the last turns left and right so keeps them thinking.....nice one jezza whoever you are ?
Spread A Little Love
Magz - 15/02/2003
Brilliant dance that makes you want to sing as well as dance and one that would suit all tastes
Cheyenne Western Dancing - 15/02/2003
Great Dance, Taught this at all our classes and once mastered the dancers loved it. Works very well with music,(Either track)
John Asquith - 15/02/2003
This is a very nice dance, especially done to the MJ track. It deserves to do well.
Feeling Good
Lin - 15/02/2003
Super dance which deserves to do very well for Elle and Jan.My classes have loved it.We prefer it to the alternative music - Contact by Edwin Starr,which is available from the Linedancer site.
Donegan's Reel
Karen Hunn - 15/02/2003
Have taught this dance to both an improver and intermediate class, both classes loving it, intermediates obviously find it fairly easy and coping with the speed, but a handful of improvers are struggling on the last section up to speed and so are only dancing at a slowed down speed of the track and sitting it out when it goes up to speed. It's a fun dance and I'm sure those that are struggling will get there in the end...
Badda-Boom! Badda-Bang!
Tumblintas - 14/02/2003
I love this - i think both the dance and music fit fantastically together, when i first heard the music i had my doubts but together their great. For the more adventurous dancer too make it a little more tricky you can do a triple turn & a half instead of the shuffle half turn straight into the jazz box - its great!! Well done Karen, good combo's are hard to find you did great.
Do Your Thing
jim sandham - 13/02/2003
This dance is so different its going to be a big hit.when i first heard the music i thought thats awful!,but once i'd learned the dance it grew on me.(had the same problemn with chill factor!!).Could be as big???.

A rainy road trip to spring training
March 24th, 2011, 1:01 pm by Ellen Bell, Afternoon AngelMonday, I had a 24-hour window of opportunity to take my 18-year-old son Tyler to spring training. We've made the trip for the past eight years and it was going to take more than a little rain to break our streak. OK, so there was a lot of rain ...
But we made the best of it. We headed east on the 10 while the full moon was still up and crossed our fingers that the worst weather was behind us. Tyler doesn't live with me these days. He's a freshman at the University of Oregon and, lately, our conversations have been limited to intemittent phone calls and abbreviated text messages. The long drive through the desert gave us a much needed chance to reconnect and have a conversation of full sentences instead of mono-syllabic grunts.
After driving through torrential rain outside of Phoenix, it was miraculously dry in Tempe. We couldn't believe our luck as we settled into our seats, hot dogs in hand. We were going to see baseball after all. Then the sprinkles started and the full rain hit just as they played the National Anthem.
