1. Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Version Information
Related bugreports: #157028
Links does not properly validate "smb://" URLs, making it vulnerable to the execution of arbitrary Samba commands.
2. Impact Information
Links is a web browser running in both graphics and text modes.
Teemu Salmela discovered that Links does not properly validate "smb://" URLs when it runs smbclient commands.
A remote attacker could entice a user to browse to a specially crafted "smb://" URL and execute arbitrary Samba commands, which would allow the overwriting of arbitrary local files or the upload or the download of arbitrary files. This vulnerability can be exploited only if "smbclient" is installed on the victim's computer, which is provided by the "samba" Gentoo package.
3. Resolution Information
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Links users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.1: Resolution
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/links-2.1_pre26"

Posted: November 14, 2012
I was down on a golf vacation in Myrtle Beach with Tony Watt and Tom Ferguson. A fourth, Frank, from New York City joined us. I hit first and hit it right at the flag. Tony hits next and Frank tells Tony it went in the hole. We all celebrate and head up to the green where only one ball is on the green. We walk over to the green and low and behold Tony's ball had plugeed in the green and mine was in the hole. I kind of felt badly since that would have been Tony's first whole on one. It was my third so I would have rather had it been Tony who aced it. Terry

We don't need to spend big to win the title, insists Torres
Fernando Torres says no amount of spending by Manchester United and Chelsea during the summer will stop Liverpool's relentless quest forthe Premier League title. Before Spain met host nation South Africa in their final group gameof the Confederations Cup last night, Torres revealed just how focusedhe is on breaking United's stranglehold on the title and emulating thegreat Liverpool forwards of the past. The club's own finances are under serious scrutiny, with only amonth left for joint owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks to find newways of servicing a £350million debt, and Torres realises Liverpool'sspending power may not match that of their rivals. The evidence of that comes with Chelsea hoping to steal Portsmouthand England right-back Glen Johnson from the grasp of Rafael Benitez,and Xabi Alonso being lured to Real Madrid.

TV Use in Blue Hill
Here's some info you might be interested in knowing about cable TV in Blue Hill, NE. For starters, a third of Americans own four or more TVs and all but 3% of people still watch regularly broadcast TV. Because 72% of all TV viewers bundle cable with Internet, it only makes sense that 48% of them stream some content online. In Blue Hill, that means there are 247 people with multiple televisions, 726 people watching scheduled programming, 539 bundling their cable services and 359 of those bundlers who stream TV online.

Any movie that begins with a close-up of a nebbishy young man speaking directly into the camera has a lot to prove. But Jez Butterworth's "Birthday Girl" pulls off a quick save when it's revealed that said nebbish – bank teller John Buckingham, played by Ben Chaplin – is actually addressing his webcam, for the purpose of ordering a Russian bride online (are they called e-brides nowadays?) Before the credits have ended, John is at Heathrow to pick up Nadia, who materializes in the foxy form of soon-to-be-Oscar nominated Nicole Kidman. Life ought be grand, no?
Not when John discovers that no matter what question he asks, the only answer Nadia can give is "Yees." The language barrier is a nasty surprise, and much furtive awkwardness ensues. But one night Nadia favors John with an efficient, and effective, handjob. He buys her an English-Russian dictionary as a gift – and she comes back with a video called "Hog-Tied Bitches," then throws him on the bed and jumps right on top. Nadia is quite the kinky wildcat, fluent in the Universal Language, and suddenly she is John's dream girl after all. There's rich comedy in a "love montage" that intercuts shots of Nadia knitting a comfy sweater for John with shots of her tying him up, finding more intimate uses for her needles.
All is well, then, until two more Russians show up at John's door, Nadia's "cousin" Yuri (director and "Amélie" leading man Mathieu Kassovitz) and Yuri's rambunctious buddy Alexei (Vincent Cassel, who Kassovitz directed in "Hate"). Butterworth's script has, up to this point, led us down a garden path of romance, but we know the instant Yuri and Alexei show up they're bad news. (That they're both played by Frenchmen has nothing to do with it; that they listen to Russian rap definitely does.) Soon enough the pair prove just how bad they are, and Nadia is revealed as…perhaps something less than a dream girl.
Luckily, "Birthday Girl" has so well established itself as a smart, brightly-hued romantic comedy that the jarring shift in tone is forgivable. For a while. But the humor soon drains so completely from the movie that's it's difficult to stay involved through the predictable conclusion. What had been a charmingly buoyant little waltz between the agreeable Chaplin and the spectacular Kidman just deflates, slackening into suspense-thriller clichés. Nevertheless, "Birthday Girl" stubbornly sticks to being the…well, the sort of movie it has decided to turn into. It still manages to slide by, but barely, and only on the strength of its two leads.
Doubting any move Nicole Kidman makes would be unwise these days. It's just a shame that "Birthday Girl" starts out as a first-rate chick movie and winds up a second-rate guy movie. But if this somehow proves to be a formula for the perfect date movie, then Kidman is even more brilliant than we thought.

Country/Date of Origin: France/1800s
This breed owes its existence to a Dutchman named Edward Korthals who started in 1870 with a Barbet dog and mixed her bloodlines with various setters, spaniels and pointers to create a new sporting dog. A family feud forced him to leave Holland and continue his breeding experiments in Germany and France. The breed type was fixed by the beginning of the twentieth century and the dog exhibited the skills of both a pointer and a retriever. Its harsh coat and swimming abilities enabled it to be utilized for both water and field work.

I am looking for a simple 1 gallon sake / rice wine recipe. I can't find one online for some reason. There has to be one out there somewhere. Anyone ?
Sake is a difficult thing to make. I'll post a simple recipe for 1 gallon but highly suggest checking out the following site:http://www.taylor-madeak.org/index.php 1 gallon Sake 1 2/5 cups Koji 5 3/4 cups Rice 9 1/10 cups Water (Good mineral/spring water only like Fiji water) Reading the site listed above Taylor explains that traditional Sake is made up of the 3 above ingrediant (Plus Yeast) in the following ratio (Koji:Rice:Water) 25%:100%:160%. I am sure there are measurements that are better to go by than cups but I just know 1 gallon of water is 16 cups so applied the above ratio to get close to 16 cups. I have seen other people do 1 gallon Sake batches with the following though: 1 cup Koji 4 cups Rice Water to 1 gallon A lot of people say to add citric acid or acid blend but that should be highly avoided because the Koji will add a bit of sour to the mix to balance out any sweetness that is left over. Adding any more acid will make the drink too acidic. Especially if you go with the second recipe which will be more dry.
A painting says a thousand words. But a painting while on good mead just looks funny!
Here is a simple rice wine recipe which involves the use of red rice yeast and yeast balls, though this can be made without the red rice yeast if you desire. Not a true sake but a traditional rice wine across many provinces... http://smallsmallbaker.blogspot.com/...-wine.html?m=1 I have sourced the yeasts at http://www.asiansupermarket365.com/S...x=0&Search.y=0 Though if you have a local oriental grocery you may find them. The white yeast come in balls, like penny gumball size or cake form, kind of like a small hockey puck. ...Sara
Motto: quel che sara sara
where can u buy koji locally ??
My local oriental marketplace is where I get my Koji from.

There was no explanation about key of lift, so I had no idea how to go the floor there is my room. The button has no reaction, unless you don't insert the key to slot in the lift. I can't say that the staff is friendly or kindly, but the room was excellent. Very clean, quiet, beautiful view. and easy access of D terminal.

My partner and I stayed here for a few nights in mid-August. For the basic price we had a huge, comfortable room with big windows which was fantastic. We really loved it here and would come again for sure. It's not far from the old town, just a 5-10 minute walk and only 5 mins from the newer design centre of the city. The ports are very close, from a 2 minute walk to a 10 minute walk depending on which company you are traveling with. The staff were friendly and it was very very quiet. On the negative side, the shower leaked water onto the floor [between the bath and the wall there is no seal] but that was not a massive problem once we worked out what was happening. The food in the restaurant downstairs was pretty ordinary but very cheap, we had lunch there on the first day as well as the free breakfast buffets. Breakfast had a lot of different options, but the quality of the food was very average. Also, the breakfast room has a bit of an unpleasant fishy smell [and the smell of the bai marie at the end of service]. But still, we would recommend it.

Very well edited, And the gameplay looks sweet can't wait to try to beat that big boss thingy or whatever It Is! :O
A totally new co-op based zombie mod. This mod will stand out from all the other zombie mods for several reasons, as most zombie mods focus on mindless shooting this zombie mod will be going deeper into the survival horror. If you attract too many zombies you will definitely not survive. This should prove a unique zombie experience like you have never seen before. Expect also features like movable barricades, uniquely designed maps and weapons from singleplayer. To summarize it, what you will get from this mod is thrilling gameplay with your friends against hordes of zombies.

Mother's Day is one of the biggest weekends for a florist.
KSTP stopped by a Bachman's in Minneapolis on Friday morning to check out some of the arrangements and found the company was busy filling orders for moms - and for prom.
Bachman's Employee Cindy Egan said despite the long line of customers, it's business as usual for this time of year.
"Mothers day weekend is one of the largest prom weekends in the Twin Cities area," Egan said. "We probably do about 1,500 to 1,600 corsages."
Egan said while Valentine's Day is a huge holiday for fresh flower sales, Mother's Day is when potted plants and garden items are big sellers.

From BR Bullpen
Elian Herrera Ramirez
- Bats Both, Throws Right
- Height 5' 10", Weight 190 lb.
- Born February 1, 1985 in San Pedro de Macoris D.R.
[edit] Biographical Information
Elian Herrera made his MLB debut in 2012.
Herrera signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in May 2003; the scouts were Pablo Peguero and Angel Santana. He made his pro debut with the DSL Dodgers North, going 1 for 26 with 7 walks, hardly the sign of a future big leaguer. In 2004, he hit .278/.353/.326 for the DSL Dodgers 2, stealing 22 bases in 33 tries and scoring 39 runs in 50 games. With the 2005 DSL Dodgers, he produced at a .257/.358/.345 clip. He came stateside with the 2006 GCL Dodgers and hit .327/.424/.391 as their main second baseman; he only stole two bases in five attempts. In 2007, he bounced between the Ogden Raptors (.282/.379/.387 in 50 G), Great Lakes Loons (6 for 36, 2 2B, 1 BB) and Inland Empire 66ers (6 for 30, 2 2B, 2 BB).
In 2008, Elian was a part-time outfielder for Ogden (.298/.385/.532, 28 R, 27 RBI in 33 G) and went 1 for 6 for the 66ers. The next season, he was with the Loons (10 for 40, BB) and 66ers (.290/.352/.393, 42 SB, 5 CS in 99 G). He was third in the California League in swipes, two behind Tyson Gillies and one behind teammate Trayvon Robinson. Among Dodgers farmhands, only Dee Gordon and Robinson pilfered more bags. It was a pleasant jump for the 24 steals in his prior four years. He had no set position, bouncing between all three outfield slots and every infield spot except first base. That winter, he batted .255/.320/.351 for the Águilas Cibaeñas.
Herrera spent most of 2010 as a utility man with the Chattanooga Lookouts (.258/.363/.341 in 97 G) and also played for the Albuquerque Isotopes (.229/.356/.271 in 25 G). For the year, he stole 32 bases in 43 attempts. His 31 steals for the Lookouts were 6th in the Southern League. In winter ball, he hit .280/.375/.385 for the Águilas. He was 10th in the Dominican League in average and 4th in OBP (after Hector Luna, Erick Almonte and Juan Francisco). With the Lookouts again in 2011, he produced at a .278/.370/.378 clip with 6 triples and 33 stolen bases (in 44 tries). He led Dodger minor leaguers in steals and was 4th in the SL (behind Quintin Berry, Kevin Mattison and A.J. Pollock). He also tied for 7th in the Southern League in three-baggers.
Back with the Águilas Cibaeñas in the winter of 2011-2012, he hit .311/.383/.417 with 25 runs in 38 games. He was among the Dominican League leaders in average (4th after Joaquin Arias, Alexi Casilla and Brian Bogusevic), runs (tied for 4th with Francisco and Almonte) and OBP (5th, between Ricardo Nanita and Almonte). He began 2012 back with the Isotopes and excelled early on, at .358/.381/.560 with 22 runs in 28 games. He was then called up to the majors when Juan Uribe went on the disabled list.
In his MLB debut, he pinch-hit for Javy Guerra in the bottom of the 5th with a 4-0 deficit against the Diamondbacks and was retired by Wade Miley. The next day, he started at second base, hitting second. In the first inning, he doubled in Tony Gwynn Jr. while facing Clayton Richard.

The Gin Game may have won the Pulitzer Prize, yes, but that doesn't mean it's a play worth reviving. (For another example of the Pulitzer committee's questionable taste in drama, consider that in 1945 the award was given to Harvey, Mary Chase's affable comedy about a man with an imaginary rabbit, over Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie, one of the four or five great American plays.)
The Gin Game's longevity has much to do with the original 1977 production, which was directed by Mike Nichols and starred Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy in indelible performances. The current pairing of Durning and Harris (which ran on Broadway for three months beginning in April 1997, earning Harris a Tony nomination) only furthers the argument that The Gin Game is less a satisfying play than an excuse to get two virtuoso actors together on the same set.
If Durning and Harris seem to be milking the small moments for all they're worth, it's because the big moments, such as they are, are rather trite. Fonsia isn't as bad as Weller accuses her of being. Weller doesn't deserve the punishment the playwright doles out to him. Life is much more engaging than this particular card game, even as delightfully dealt here by Charles Durning. Given her voluminous, five-Tony Award theater career, from I Am a Camera (1952) to The Belle of Amherst (1977), and high-caliber Hollywood credits, from The Member of the Wedding (1952) to East of Eden (1955), Harris brings a nearly unparalleled legacy of acting with her on stage. Even in the slightest of roles, she sparkles.
The Gin Game.
Written by D.L. Coburn. Directed by Charles Nelson Reilly. Starring Julie Harris and Charles Durning. Through April 4. Parker Playhouse, 707 NE Eighth St., Fort Lauderdale, 954-763-2444.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Solar power in the United States includes utility-scale solar power plants as well as local distributed generation, mostly from rooftop photovoltaics. In mid-2013, the U.S. passed 10 GW of installed photovoltaic capacity[1] with an additional 0.5 GW of concentrated solar power. In the twelve months through April 2014, utility scale solar power generated 11.65 million megawatt-hours, 0.28% of total US electricity.[2]
The United States conducted much early research in photovoltaics and concentrated solar power. The U.S. is among the top countries in the world in electricity generated by the Sun and several of the world's largest utility-scale installations are located in the desert Southwest. The oldest solar power plant in the world is the 354 MW SEGS thermal power plant, in California.[3] The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a solar thermal power project in the California Mojave Desert, 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Las Vegas, with a gross capacity of 392 megawatts (MW).[4] The 280 MW Solana Generating Station is a solar power plant near Gila Bend, Arizona, about 70 miles (110 km) southwest of Phoenix, completed in 2013. When commissioned it was the largest parabolic trough plant in the world and the first U.S. solar plant with molten salt thermal energy storage.[5]
There are plans to build many other large solar plants in the United States. Many states have set individual renewable energy goals with solar power being included in various proportions. Governor Jerry Brown has signed legislation requiring California's utilities to obtain 33 percent of their electricity from renewable energy sources by the end of 2020.[6] A total of 4,324 MW of utility scale solar power plants are under construction and an additional 25,926 MW are under development, with 19,060 MW under construction or development in California.[when?]
A 1993 report by the United States Department of Energy found available domestic solar energy (including biomass) technically accessible regardless of cost amounted to 586,687 Quadrillion BTUs (Quads); 95% of this was biomass. Coal represented the second largest resource, a distant 38,147 Quads. Predictions of how much solar power was economically feasible to collect amounted to 352 quads, compared with 5,266 quads from coal. The assumptions used in the report were based on a predicted 2010 price of a barrel of oil being $38, and multiplied annual renewable resources by 30 for comparison with non-renewable resources.[7] The total annual energy consumption of the United States in 2007 was approximately 100 Quads,[8] less than 0.5% of what is theoretically available from sunlight.
A 2012 report from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory described technically available renewable energy resources for each state and estimated that urban utility scale photovoltaics could supply 2,232 TWh/year, rural utility scale PV 280,613 TWh/year, rooftop PV 818 TWh/year, and CSP 116,146 TWh/year, for a total of almost 400,000 TWh/year, 100 times current consumption of 3,856 TWh in 2011.[9][10] Onshore wind potential is estimated at 32,784 TWh/year, and offshore wind at 16,976 TWh/year. The total available from all renewable resources is estimated at 481,963 TWh/year.[11]
Solar energy deployment increased at a record pace in the United States and throughout the world in 2008, according to industry reports. The Solar Energy Industries Association's "2008 U.S. Solar Industry Year in Review" found that U.S. solar energy capacity increased by 17% in 2007, reaching the total equivalent of 8,775 megawatts (MW). The SEIA report tallies all types of solar energy, and in 2007 the United States installed 342 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) electric power, 139 thermal megawatts (MWth) of solar water heating, 762 MWth of pool heating, and 21 MWth of solar space heating and cooling.[12]
A report finds that solar power's contribution could grow to 10% of the nation's power needs by 2025:
According to a study by the Solar Energy Industries Association and GTM Research, 878 megawatts (MW) of photovoltaic (PV) capacity and 78 MW of concentrating solar power (CSP) were installed in the U.S. in 2010, enough to power roughly 200,000 homes. In addition, more than 65,000 homes and businesses added solar water heating (SWH) or solar pool heating (SPH) systems. This was double the 435 MW installed in 2009 around the U.S.[14]
According to a 2011 survey conducted by independent polling firm Kelton Research, nine out of 10 Americans support the use and development of solar technology. Eight out of 10 respondents indicated that "the federal government should support solar manufacturing in the U.S. and should give federal subsidies for solar energy".[15] According to the Energy Information Administration, in 2010, subsidies to the solar power industry amounted to 8.2% ($968 million) of all federal subsidies for electricity generation.[16]
Solar Energy Industries Association and GTM Research found that the amount of new solar electric capacity increased in 2012 by 76 percent from 2011, raising the United States' market share of the world's installations above 10 percent, up from roughly 5 to 7 percent in the last seven years.[17]
One of the first applications of concentrated solar was the 6 hp solar powered motor made by H.E. Willsie and John Boyle in 1904.[18]
An early solar pioneer of the 19th and 20th century, Frank Shuman, built a demonstration plant that used solar power to pump water using an array of mirrors in a trough to generate steam. Located in Philadelphia, the solar water pump station was capable of pumping 3000 gallons an hour (25 hp)[19] at that latitude. After seven weeks of testing the plant was disassembled and shipped to Egypt for testing as an irrigation plant.[20]
In 1973, Karl Böer of the University of Delaware built an experimental house called the Solar One, the first house to convert sunlight into energy.[21]
The U.S. pioneered solar tower and trough technologies. A number of different solar thermal technologies are in use in the U.S.
The largest and oldest solar power plant in the world is the 354 MW SEGS thermal power plant, in California.[3] The 64 MW Nevada Solar One uses parabolic trough technology in one of the largest solar plants in the world.
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a solar thermal power project in the California Mojave Desert, 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Las Vegas, with a planned gross capacity of 392 megawatts (MW).[4] It deploys 173,500 heliostats each with two mirrors focusing solar energy on boilers located on centralized solar power towers.[4] Unit 1 of the project was connected to the grid in September 2013 in an initial sync testing.[22] The facility formally opened on February 13, 2014,[23] and the three units should be fully operational before the end of 2014[24]
The Solana Generating Station is a solar power plant near Gila Bend, Arizona, about 70 miles (110 km) southwest of Phoenix, completed in 2013. When commissioned it was the largest parabolic trough plant in the world and the first U.S. solar plant with molten salt thermal energy storage.[5] Built by the Spanish company Abengoa Solar,[25] it has a total capacity of 280 megawatts (MW),[25] which is enough to power 70,000 homes while avoiding around 475,000 tons of carbon dioxide.[25] Its name is the Spanish term for "sunny spot".[26]
The Martin Next Generation Solar Energy Center is a hybrid 75-megawatt (MW) parabolic trough solar energy plant that is owned by Florida Power & Light Company (FPL). The solar plant is a component of the 3,705 MW Martin County Power Plant, which is currently the single largest fossil fuel burning power plant in the United States.[27] Completed at the end of 2010,[28] it is located in western Martin County, Florida, just north of Indiantown.
The Mojave Solar Project is a 280 MW solar thermal power facility under construction in the Mojave Desert in California, which should be completed in 2014. Abengoa has successfully secured a $1.2 billion loan guarantee from the US government for the project.[29]
The Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project is a 110 megawatt (MW) solar thermal power project currently under construction near Tonopah, about 230 miles (370 km) northwest of Las Vegas.[30]
As of 26 April 2014[update], a total of 515 MW of solar thermal power plants are under construction in the United States, with another 3,684 MW under development.[31]
In 2012, 3,313 Megawatts of photovoltaics were installed, which amounts to a 76% growth over 2011's total installed base of 4,383 MW, which itself was a 73% increase over 2010's installed base of 2,528 MW. Projections indicate that upwards of 5,140 MW total photovoltaics will come online in 2013.[32]
Current trends indicate that a large number of photovoltaic power plants will be built in the south and southwest areas, where there is ample land in the sunny deserts of California, Nevada and Arizona. Large properties are being bought there with the aim of building more utility-scale PV power plants.[33] In addition, many of the projects are on BLM public land.[34]
New manufacturing facilities for solar cells and modules in Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, Oregon, and Texas promise to add enough capacity to produce thousands of megawatts of solar devices per year within the next few years from 2008:[35]
In late September 2008, Sanyo Electric Company, Ltd. announced its decision to build a manufacturing plant for solar ingots and wafers (the building blocks for silicon solar cells) in Salem, Oregon. The plant will begin operating in October 2009 and will reach its full production capacity of 70 megawatts (MW) of solar wafers per year by April 2010.
In early October 2008, First Solar, Inc. broke ground on an expansion of its Perrysburg, Ohio, planned to add enough capacity to produce another 57 MW per year of solar modules at the facility, bringing its total capacity to roughly 192 MW per year. The company expects to complete construction early next year and reach full production by mid-2010. And in mid-October 2008, SolarWorld AG opened a manufacturing plant in Hillsboro, Oregon, that is expected to produce 500 MW of solar cells per year when it reaches full production in 2011.
Rapidly decreasing photovoltaics prices has put on hold General Electric's planned factory in Colorado,[36] and led to the bankruptcy of Konarka Technologies, which had expected to produce 1,000 MW of solar modules per year by 2011, and Solyndra, which defaulted on a $535 million loan guarantee, prompting Republican members of the Energy and Commerce committee to vote to cease accepting new applications to the loan program.
HelioVolt Corporation opened a manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas that will have an initial capacity to produce 20 MW of solar cells per year. Starting with solar "inks" developed at DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory that are deposited with ink jets, HelioVolt employs a proprietary "printing" process to produce solar cells consisting of thin films of copper indium gallium selenide, or CIGS. The technology won an R&D 100 Award in 2008 and it earned an Editor's Choice Award for Most Revolutionary Technology. HelioVolt's "FASST" reactive transfer printing process is 10–100 times faster than other CIGS production processes and can also be combined with vacuum evaporation or ultrasonic spray deposition techniques. At its new Austin manufacturing plant, HelioVolt plans to produce both solar modules and next-generation building-integrated solar products using its FASST process.
In 2012 a 31% tariff on cells made in China is expected to have little effect, as manufacturers such as Trina simply switch to less efficient cells made in Malaysia or Taiwan.[37]
The largest photovoltaic array in the world is the 250 MW (AC) of the still under construction 290 MW (AC) Agua Caliente Solar Project in Yuma County, Arizona. The project is expected to be completed in 2014.[38][39]
The Mesquite Solar project is a 150 MW power plant in Arlington, Arizona. It will be 700 MW when completed.[40]
The Antelope Valley Solar Ranch is a 100 MW (AC) power plant in California's Antelope Valley. It will be 230 MW (AC) when completed, in 2013.[41]
The Copper Mountain Solar Facility is a 48 megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Boulder City, Nevada.[42] Sempra Generation constructed the plant in 2010. At its construction peak more than 350 workers were installing the 775,000 First Solar panels on the 380-acre (1.5 km2) site.[42]
The 47.7 megawatt Avenal Solar Facility is the largest photovoltaic (PV) solar project in California. It is located in Kings County, California, north of Los Angeles. Commercial operation began in August 2011. Electricity generated by the power plant is being sold to Pacific Gas and Electric Company under a 20-year power purchase agreement.
The 37 MW Long Island Solar Farm (LISF) is the largest photovoltaic array in the eastern U.S. It earned the Best Photovoltaic Project of Year Award from the New York Solar Energy Industries Association. The LISF is made up of 164,312 solar panels, which provide enough electricity for roughly 4,500 households. Additionally, the project will cause the abatement of more than 30,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.[43]
The DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center is a photovoltaic solar power facility in Arcadia, DeSoto County, Florida owned by Florida Power & Light (FPL).[44] President Barack Obama attended the plant's commissioning on October 27, 2009.[45] It has a nameplate capacity of 25 megawatts (MW) DC[46] and produces an estimated 42,000 megawatt-hours (MW·h) of electricity per year.[47]
The Davidson County Solar Farm is a 17.2 megawatt solar power station located in the heart of North Carolina, near the community of Linwood. SunEdison built the array of photovoltaic panels, and Duke Energy buys all the output from the solar farm.[48]
The Nellis Solar Power Plant is located within Nellis Air Force Base in Clark County, Nevada, on the northeast side of Las Vegas. The Nellis solar energy system will generate in excess of 25 million kilowatt-hours (kW·h) of electricity annually and supply more than 25 percent of the power used at the base.[49] The system was inaugurated in a ceremony on December 17, 2007, with Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons activating full operation of the 14 megawatt (MW) array.[50][51]
A total of 4,995 MW are operating as of March 6, 2014. Other operational PV power plants include:[31]
As of March 6, 2014, a total of 2,841 MW of utility scale photovoltaic power plants are under construction in the United States.[31]
The Desert Sunlight Solar Farm is a 550 MW solar power plant under construction in Riverside County, California, that will use thin-film solar photovoltaic modules made by First Solar.[52]
The Topaz Solar Farm is a 550 MW photovoltaic power plant, being built in San Luis Obispo County, California.[53]
The Blythe Solar Power Project is a 500 MW photovoltaic station under construction in Riverside County, California.
The Agua Caliente Solar Project is a 290 megawatt (AC) photovoltaic solar generating facility being built in Yuma County, Arizona. 250 MW (AC) is operational, making it the largest operating photovoltaic power plant in the world.
The California Valley Solar Ranch (CVSR) is a 250 megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic power plant, which is being built by SunPower in the Carrizo Plain, northeast of California Valley.[54]
The 230 MW (AC) Antelope Valley Solar Ranch is a First Solar photovoltaic project which is under construction in the Antelope Valley area of the Western Mojave Desert, and due to be completed in 2013.[55]
The Mesquite Solar project is a 700 MW photovoltaic solar power plant being built in Arlington, Maricopa County, Arizona, owned by Sempra Generation.[56] Phase 1 has a nameplate capacity of 150 megawatts,[57] and was completed in January 2013.[40]
The 60 MW Pflugerville Solar Farm is under construction and will use 400,000 solar panels.[58]
A total of 19,459 MW of large-scale photovoltaic power plants are under development in the United States. The largest is the 2,700 MW Westlands Solar Park, in Kings County, California.[31]
The Amargosa Farm Road Solar Project is a proposed 500 megawatt (MW) solar power plant in Nye County, Nevada. The plant is expected online by 2014.[59]
The 300 MW Sonoran Solar Project in Arizona, is a photovoltaic solar power plant that is being planned by a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar granted approval for the project in December 2011.[60]
The Centinela Solar Energy Project is an approved 275 megawatt solar power plant to be located on 2,067 acres of previously disturbed private land near El Centro, California. The project would support at least 367 jobs, generate more than $30 million in tax revenue over the life of the project, and deliver enough electricity to power about 82,500 homes.[61] Creative financing has increased the boom in home solar installation into 2012.[62]
SolarStrong is SolarCity's five-year plan to build more than $1 billion in solar photovoltaic projects for privatized military housing communities across the United States. SolarCity plans to work with the country's leading privatized military housing developers to install, own and operate rooftop solar installations and provide solar electricity at a lower cost than utility power. SolarStrong is ultimately expected to create up to 300 megawatts of solar generation capacity that could provide power to as many as 120,000 military housing units, making it the largest residential photovoltaic project in American history. In November 2011, SolarCity and Bank of America Merrill Lynch announced that they have agreed to terms on financing for SolarStrong.[63]
In 2012, the Bureau of Land Management is giving priority status to 9 PV project proposals.[64] The 750 MW McCoy Solar Project has been proposed by NextEra. The 100 MW Desert Harvest project has been proposed by enXco. The 664 Calico Solar Project has been redesigned by K Power. The 350 MW Silver State South and 350 MW Moapa project have been proposed. The 600 MW Mount Signal Solar Farm #1 has also been proposed.[64]
In addition, 17 "Solar Energy Zones" were identified for priority development in April 2012. A total of 97,921,069 acres (39,627,251 ha; 153,002 sq mi) of BLM land is currently available for solar projects in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah, enough for at least 10,000,000 MW.[65][66]
Total: 42,554 MW - 76,577 MW, depending on the technology used
Within the cumulative PV capacity in the U.S., there has been growth in the distributed generation segment, which are all grid-connected PV installations in the residential and non-residential markets. Non-residential market includes installations on commercial, government, school and non-profit organization properties. Between 2000 and 2013 there had been 2,261 MW of residential solar and 4,051 MW non-residential solar installed. In 2013, there were 1,913 MW installed for these markets with top 5 states as California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Hawaii and Arizona. The residential market had 60% annual growth in 2013. The growth contributing factors were new marketing strategies to partner with retailers to reach more customers, and new financial models including the securitization of residential solar assets. Non-residential PV had a slight growth of 4% in 2013 as the market was recovering from the oversupply in 2012. The future growth will be likely come from New York, Arizona, and Colorado.[67]
One of the largest residential solar projects was a 115 kilowatt system of a property in Southern California in 2011.[68] There were many large scale non-residential installations. One of the largest installations for commercial properties was the 9 MW system of Holt Logistics refrigerated warehouse at the Gloucester Marine Terminal in New Jersey.[69] One of the large scale PV installations in schools was the solar project of San Diego Unified School District with total of 48 sites and aggregated installed capacity of 9.17 MW.[70]
Another type of distributed generation implemented by utility company is the world's first grid-connected pole-attached solar panels of Public Service Enterprise Group in New Jersey. More than 174,000 PV panels are mounted on utility poles along streets of New Jersey with aggregated capacity of 40 MW.[71][72]
A complete list of incentives is maintained at the Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy (DSIRE) (see external link).
Most are grid connected and use net metering laws to allow use of electricity in the evening that was generated during the daytime. New Jersey leads the nation with the least restrictive net metering law,[73] while California leads in total number of homes which have solar panels installed. Many were installed because of the million solar roof initiative.[74]
The federal tax credit for solar was extended for eight years as part of the financial bail out bill, H.R. 1424, until the end of 2016. It was estimated this will create 440,000 jobs, 28 gigawatts of solar power, and lead to a $300 billion market for solar panels. This estimate did not take into account the removal of the $2,000 cap on residential tax credits at the end of 2008.[75]
The United States Department of Energy (DOE) announced on September 29, 2008 that it will invest $17.6 million, subject to annual appropriations, in six company-led, early-stage photovoltaic (PV) projects under the Solar America Initiative's "PV Incubator" funding opportunity. The "PV Incubator" project is designed to fund prototype PV components and systems with the goal of moving them through the commercialization process by 2010. The 2008 award is the second funding opportunity released under the PV Incubator project. With the cost share from industry, which will be at least 20%, up to $35.4 million will be invested in these projects. The projects will run for 18 months, and will be subcontracted through DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Most of the projects were to receive up to $3 million in funding, with the exception of Solasta and Spire Semiconductor, which would receive up to $2.6 million and $2.97 million, respectively. Massachusetts-based 1366 Technologies will develop a new cell architecture for low-cost, multi-crystalline silicon cells, which will enhance cell performance through improved light-trapping texturing and grooves for self-aligned metallization fingers. California's Innovalight will use ink-jet printing to transfer their "silicon ink" onto thin-crystalline silicon wafers to produce high-efficiency, low-cost solar cells and modules. Skyline Solar, also in California, will develop an integrated, lightweight, single-axis tracked system that reflects and concentrates sunlight over 10 times onto silicon cells. Solasta, in Massachusetts, is working on a novel cell design that increases currents and lowers the materials cost. Solexel, another California-based company, will commercialize a disruptive, 3D high-efficiency mono-crystalline silicon cell technology that dramatically reduces manufacturing cost per watt. Finally, Spire Semiconductor in New Hampshire will develop three-junction tandem solar cells that better optimize the optical properties of their device layers; the company is targeting cell efficiencies over 42% using a low-cost manufacturing method.
The PV Incubator project is part of the Solar America Initiative, which aims to make solar energy cost-competitive with conventional forms of electricity by 2015 (grid parity).[79][80]
The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technology Program (SETP) will achieve the goals of the SAI through partnerships and strategic alliances by focusing primarily on four areas:
The Solar America Showcases activity is part of the Solar America Initiative (SAI), and preference is given to large-scale, highly visible, highly replicable installations that involve cutting-edge solar technologies or novel applications of solar.[81]
The SunShot Initiative was announced by the Department of Energy and aims to reduce the cost of solar power by 75% from 2010 to 2020. The name is based on "moon shot", Kennedy's target of reaching the moon within the decade.[82]
The Energy Department on December 7 announced a $29 million investment in four projects that will help advance affordable, reliable clean energy for U.S. families and businesses. The $29 million would be separated into two investments:
Fraunhofer USA's Center for Sustainable Energy Systems in Cambridge, Massachusetts, will develop PV technologies that allow homeowners to easily select the right solar system for their house and install, wire and connect to the grid.
North Carolina State University will lead a project to create standard PV components and system designs that can adapt simply to any residential roof and can be installed and connected to the grid quickly and efficiently.
IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Armonk, New York, will lead a new project based on the Watson computer system that uses big data processing and self-adjusting algorithms to integrate different prediction models and learning technologies.
These projects are working with the Energy Department and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association to improve the accuracy of solar forecasts and share the results of this work with industry and academia.[83]
Experience has demonstrated that a feed-in tariff is both the least expensive and the most effective means of developing solar power. Investors need certainty, which they receive from a feed-in tariff.[92] California enacted a feed-in tariff which began on February 14, 2008.[93][94] Washington state has a feed-in tariff of 15 ¢/kWh which increases to 54 ¢/kWh if components are manufactured in the state.[95] Hawaii,[96] Michigan,[97] and Vermont[98] also have feed in tariffs.[99]
In 2010, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) ruled that states were able to implement above-market feed-in tariffs for specific technologies.[100][101]
In recent years, states that have passed Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) or Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) laws have relied on the use of Solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) to meet state requirements. This is done by adding a specific solar carve-out to the state Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). The first SREC program was implemented in 2005 by the state of New Jersey and has since expanded to several other states, including Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.[102]
An SREC program is an alternative to the feed-in tariff model popular in Europe. The key difference between the two models is the market-based mechanism that drives the value of the SRECs, and therefore the value of the subsidy for solar. In a feed-in tariff model, the government sets the value for the electricity produced by a solar facility. If the level is higher, more solar power is built and the program is more costly. If the feed-in tariff is set lower, less solar power is built and the program is ineffective. The problem with SRECs is a lack of certainty for investors. A feed-in tariff provides a known return on investment, while an SREC program provides a possible return on investment.
In 2006 investors began offering free solar panel installation in return for a 25 year contract, or Power Purchase Agreement, to purchase electricity at a fixed price, normally set at or below current electric rates.[103][104] By 2009 over 90% of commercial photovoltaics installed in the United States were installed using a power purchase agreement.[105] Approximately 90% of the photovoltaics installed in the United States is in states that specifically address power purchase agreements.[106]
In March 2013, Lancaster California became the first U.S. city to mandate the inclusion of solar panels on new homes, requiring that "every new housing development must average 1 kilowatt per house."[107]
An innovative financing arrangement pioneered in Berkeley, California, and Palm Springs, lends money to a homeowner for a solar system, to be repaid via an additional tax assessment on the property for 20 years. This allows installation of the solar system at "relatively little up-front cost to the property owner."[108] Now known as PACE, for Property Assessed Clean Energy, it is available in 28 states.[109] Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have objected to the repayment of solar loans being senior to mortgage loans, and some states have relegated PACE loans to junior loans. HR 2599 was introduced to prevent interference with the PACE program by other lenders.[110] The principle feature of the program is that the balance of the loan is transferred to the new owners in the event the property is sold, and the loan is paid for entirely through electric bill savings. Unlike a mortgage loan, no funds are transferred when the property is sold - only the repayment obligation is transferred.
PACE programs are currently operating in eight states, California, Colorado, Florida, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, New York, and Wisconsin, and are on hold in many others, pending resolution of the Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae objection.[111]
In the United States, 2,106 MW of PV was installed in the 4th quarter and 4,751 MW of PV installations were completed in 2013. Abengoa's 280 MWac of CSP project was brought online in the 3rd quarter and Genesis Solar's first phase of 125 MWac was brought online in the 4th quarter of 2013 bringing the total to 410 MWac for the year and 918 MWac total. Ivanpah is already completed during the first quarter of 2014 the current world's largest CSP power plant is 392 MWac and brings the total to 1310 MWac. The 110 MWac Crescent Dunes project started commissioning during February. The 250 MWac Mojave solar, second phase 125 MWac Genesis Solar, and Tooele Army Depot Solar's 1.5 MWac power plant are all expected to come online in 2014. The A total of around 6 GW of PV and over 840 MW of CSP capacity are expected to come on-line in 2014.[112]
The amount of electricity a unit is capable of producing over an extended period of time is determined by multiplying the capacity by the capacity factor. The capacity factor for solar photovoltaic units is largely a function of climate and latitude. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has calculated that the highest statewide average solar voltaic capacity factors are in Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada (each 26.3 percent), and the lowest is Alaska (10.5 percent). The lowest statewide average capacity factor in the contiguous 48 states is in West Virginia (17.2 percent).[113]

The U.S. had approximately 440 MW of off-grid photovoltaics as of the end of 2010. Through the end of 2005, a majority of photovoltaics in the United States was off-grid.[116]:p.6[132] |

Armed with only one sword and a shield, the brave warrior wasn't giving up on his battle with an opponent far beyond him in every way strength, speed, deadly attacks. The simple explanation for that was that it was a dragon.
They were chasing each other through an old long deserted castle, which talked about it's old glory only through it's tall walls, three times taller than this mythological beast. Of course, the dragon was now the master of this large estate, and maybe the reason behind their fight lied in the right to proprietorship.
In any case, our warrior was in trouble now, and he was running to get behind one of the big pillars that were still standing and supporting the ceiling. Luckily, before the dragon managed to do anything, he got out of it's way and to a safe shelter.
The pillar was wide enough to grant him cover from the fire the dragon could shoot at him. Although, he found something else concerning that to be weird: namely, the dragon wasn't breathing fire as much as he had expected it to at all. It had the chances, it seemed, to burn him to a crisp why hasn't it done that?
Before he could give an answer to himself on that question, the dragon peeked from the side of the column and he had to get out of there as fast as possible.
Damn it, he thought all around were scattered parts of the structure; he had to constantly keep maneuvering through them. Although, the good side of them was that they offered him protection. He was reminded of that right away by a flame that shot above him, far away from his head.
Now he needed to take the chance, he thought, to surprise the dragon from somewhere, because it had lost every sight of him.
He ran downhill, through the cracked floor, planning on going around and coming from it's side or back. Unfortunately, he tripped, and the floor additionally broke beneath him. Falling, he rolled downhill and soon reached an unfenced edge. Luckily, he stopped before he was in danger of falling off the edge and into the abyss that was beyond it; because the castle was carved on the side of the mountain's slope.
He got up. Like this wasn't enough unfortunate turn of events, the floor started cracking beneath him too. The whole part on which he was standing started breaking off.
He ran. In the moment when the rock lunged down he jumped off, sure he would be able to catch the edge. Accordingly to his good calculation, he made it.
However, climbing up now wasn't an easy task at all. The weight of his armor was dragging him down and he was forced to throw away his shield so he would have any chances at all.
His sword was now on the side of his waist. He only needed to lift up his free arm...
Suddenly he felt a great pressure on the hand with which he was holding onto the edge. He looked up. The dragon leaned over him in all it's greatness, firmly pressing his hand to the rock.
That was it. Only one fire attack and he's done for. The great beast didn't move.
After a few moments which seemed like an eternity, staring into each other's eyes, it made its move. But it wasn't the move he had expected.
It got his giant paw off his hand and turned around, walking away. Bewildered, the warrior almost forgot his life was hanging by a thread. When he came to, he swung his other arm up and grabbed on. With great effort, he climbed up.
Breathing heavily, he turned towards his adversary. It calmly staggered into the darkened interior of the castle. Like it had nothing more to do with him.
The man couldn't move. Stunned, he was trying to figure out what just happened, while big beads of sweat rolled out of his thick hair over his face and onto the ground.
He lost. He was defeated, but not destroyed. Though he couldn't get how wasn't the goal of this fight for one of them to end up dead?
No, he thought, it wasn't. One of them was supposed to lose the battle. It was obvious from the very start that he wasn't the winner and he felt stupid because it was now clear to him that the dragon knew that.
He slowly lifted himself off the ground. He felt capable enough to go on. He headed towards the exit of the castle, the same way he got in.
He carried defeat with him, but a new knowledge as well a valuable lesson about a noble fight. And that knowledge was enough to give him a reason to walk out like a man.

Normally I would have given this beer a lot more time (I'd recommend 7-10 in primary, 1-2 weeks in secondary and a 7 day dryhop), but I was pushing it through for a party I had on 8/30. Much to my surprise, the BMC drinkers in attendance kept going back to this beer over the Blonde Ale that I also had on tap. Don't be afraid of all the Chinook. Only 1 oz of it is used for bittering, and the rest of the additions actually contribute to what turned out to be an intense, but fantastic hop flavor. I added 1 oz of Amarillo with the Chinook when I dry hopped to get a bit of the floral/citrus in the nose, and it worked very well. Mashing at 151 helps to dry out this beer and contribute to a clean, crisp finish that suits the style very well compared to to other IPA's that I've done between 152-155. This is the best sub-100 IBU IPA that I've made yet.
How was the Chinook? Citrusy or something else. I used it recently and feel like it didn't have a lot of the citrus taste to it.
To me, Chinook is spicy and has hints of piney/floral. This is a good beer. I'll be sad when the keg is gone.
I think I'll make this up as my test batch for the new keggles. Mabye even a full 10G. I have a buttload of Chinooks in the freezer waiting for a beer.
Make Beer, Not War.
You won't regret it, I was very happy with this beer.
Nice recipe - going to try it now. Glad to hear the chinook comes through as piney - I recently had some Rogue Yellow Snow IPA which I thought had that flavour (others describe it as grapefruit?) and bought the chinook just to try and get that flavour. I might replace the 60 minute addition with Magnum - think that would affect much?
Primary -- empty :( Secondary -- Apple cider In Keg -- Wheat Ale Bottled -- Bennington Wedding Ale On Deck -- Rogenbier
Checking back in with comments on the beer. It turned out fabulous, best brew I think we've made. The Chinook is definitely an excellent choice for a finishing hop if you want a big IPA - in your face, and a different from other choices out there. I followed the 'spirit' of your recipe, with some small changes. Mind if I post it here so people can see something a bit different?
Have at it.
First off great recipe, This was a very good hoppy beer. I changed one thing with the recipe, I dry hopped with columbus and chinook. Thanks again for posting this. The chinook is very strong but not overwhelming, I loved it.

great looking and great feel. Had jumbo grips added but really enjoy these wedges. I have the 54 and 60 degree wedges.
The condition was stated as excellent, and in fact the club looked like it had only been hit a handful of times at best. Very happy with the price and the condition of the this wedge. It's as close to new as you can get for almost half the price.
Works well out of bunkers and tight lies in addition to the short grass. It has found a home in the bag.
This is my go to club around the greens. Great club.
I actually have the satin finish 60 degree loft for close work around the green, but can hit it up to 60 yards for high trajectory and soft landing. The jury is still out on whether I learn to own that loft, but after all the hype I thought it would be life changing or something. The backspin was oversold a bit, I think, although I sometimes fail to maintain club head speed through the ball on shorter shots.

TravelPod Member ReviewsClarion Hotel & Suites Selby Downtown Toronto
This hotel is old and a little run-down, but the room was clean and the staff was friendly. I would recommend this hotel only because it is conveniently located just down the street from the subway station. However, I think it is too expensive compared to overall quality.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
I stayed at this hotel during the last week of February. It's a nice, old hotel with friendly staff, free wi-fi connection, and free continental breakfast. It's also got a really nifty elevator (think closing gate elevators from the Titanic movie), though I'm not sure it would be considered accessible to an elderly person or someone with a disability.
Please be aware that there is construction going on right next door to the hotel. Actually, my room was right next to the construction, but that didn't bother me because I was up very early every day anyway.
What DID bother me was that the toilet in my room (419) wouldn't flush properly, and that in the 5 days that I stayed, the toilet paper roll was never replenished.
Breakfast was very basic, but alright. There was cereal, fruit, toast/bagles, etc. available. I only ate there twice and decided to go elsewhere for a more heartier breakfast.
I would recommend this hotel because of it's cheap price and it's location. It's only a 2 minute walk from Sherbourn Station, which made it super easy to get to from Pearson Airport (I took the airport bus that dropped me off at Kipling Station, and then the subway took me right to my hotel. It only cost me $2.00 to do it, versus a taxi or expensive shuttle). While I didn't find much entertainment value in the immediate area of the hotel, being so close to the subway meant I could get to places within 15 minutes or less.

Historical Traveler Reviews Clarion Hotel & Suites Selby Downtown Toronto
Nice, basic hotel
We had a nice stay here in May 2004. It's nothing fancy, but is clean and comfortable with very friendly staff. The hotel is an old brick mansion with a newer addition in the back. A word of warning - many of the rooms do not have a window to the outside. There are inside rooms with windows that look out on what is essentially a service hallway with skylights. I didn't think it would bother me, but after a few days we felt a bit like mole people in our windowless cavern.
The continental breakfast isn't much to speak of, but it's good for a quick bite to get you started. It's pretty much just toast, muffins, coffee and juice served in a little room with several tables. It actually felt a lot like a hostel.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone on a tight budget. If you can't get a really good rate, or are seeking something special, there are better hotels out there.
Thought it was great
I thought this hotel was great. True, its not in the middle of everything, but the Sherbourne subway stop is a 1min (or less) walk away and from there you can get everywhere thanks to the efficient Toronto subway service. Plus, I personally think that not being based right in the middle of everything means you get the chance to explore more. Yonge St is just a couple of blocks away and has lots (loads of fantastic restaurants, shops, etc.) on it. You can also walk straight down it to the lake front if you're feeling more adventurous (its a very very long street!). There are lots of great restaurants and shops in the area, and, as a 19 year old female, I certainly never felt threatened and I live in what couldn't be called a bad area by any stretch of the imagination!
Our room was large and clean and the bathroom was nice and modern. The maids were very nice and friendly, as were the desk staff who had great local knowledge.
The buffet breakfast, although not massive, had everything you need for fuelling up before a days' sightseeing.
I stayed there from the 21st May-4th June this year (2004) and would definately come back to the Selby Hotel if I got the chance to visit the wonderful city of Toronto again! Not only did I have a great base to see the city, at �250 per person for 2 weeks, I don't think I could have got better value!
We Loved Toronto
We had a wonderful time in Toronto. The weather was great and we got to see the two places on our list; the Hockey Hall of Fame - a must visit for any hockey fan and the CN Tower which is incredible. We should have planned on staying a couple more days because there is so much to see and do. We stayed at the Clarion Inn on Sherbourne, formerly Selby Hotel where Ernest Hemingway and his wife stayed; a Victorian Mansion built in 1880. From there we walked all over downtown, probably walked 20 miles in 2 days. We'll go back someday and spend more time.
Not quite as advertised
After checking out their website - it looked like the hotel was a nice renovated mansion with some beautiful rooms on their website. If they have these rooms, I certainly did not get put into one. The hotel is located outside of the Yorkville area and is in an area that as a single woman I would not walk alone in at night. The roooms were not nice and were very low scale. They were at least clean but old. I would definitely NOT stay there again. To give credit the staff was nice and helpful but that's not enough to make up for the quality of the hotel.
Will never stay at Howard Johnson again!!!!!!!
We stayed at the Howard Johnson for 3 nites. The room was reserved for us by a major company so we had to stay there. Upon arriving to our room, we were both shocked to see how the bathroom doors had a huge crack in it and the smell was horrible! The TV wouldn't work, so we were moved to a new room. There we found blood on the side of the bed...UGH! The same horrible smell and the same cracks. We decided to make the best of it and opened the one window to let some air flow thru. It was the most horrible hotel experience I have ever had! The other people that were reserved there too that were in our group were as equally dissatisfied. On the last nite we were there, we found out that the basement rooms were recently redone and beautiful! They were like brand new, clean and fresh. Wish we'd known that from the start! When we got home I emailed Howard Johnson and they replied with a letter saying that each hotel is independatly ran and its up to management as far as complaints. They forwarded my email on to them and I have never heard back from them.....doesn't surprise me though!
Bathroom yikes!!
Room 413 bathroom was so so gross- grout black all over, celing covered in mold, "fresh" towles had tootpaste residue and genital hair
bed coverings kind of gross: asked for a pillow and new sheets but was told that none were available.
Staff conduct would imply a terrible mgmt structure don't think anybody cares
room rate was good
Could Be Better
I have stayed at this hotel two times, it is not the greatest but the price is right. I found the staff to be somewhat discourteous everytime I called the front desk to ask a question, they did not want to help me and they constantly questioned me about any guests that visited my room, and told me that if they were staying they would all have to pay or they would have to leave. I have stayed her twice because it is a good price, and in downtown Toronto its hard to find something in a relatively low price range. Like the saying goes you always get what you pay for.
The hotel is very small and cozy. It has lot's history and the rooms have the great 1800 look. Don't worry it is very clean and up to date. If anyone is looking for a great price and in the middle of everything. I recommend it. I give the hotel a 4star because the hotel is different and very rich in history.
The price is right.
It's an old building, but if you didn't already know that then you obviously didn't do any research at all. Great hotel for the price, nothing fancy, no view, but for a cheap, clean place to crash after a night out. Right across the street to the subway, which will take you anywhere you need to go.
The Hotel was old, staff were rude and I WOULD NEVER stay again at this hotel. My flight had arrived late and I checked in at 1AM. The desk clerk informed me of the price which was entirely different then what i had reserved. He then argued with me till I told him I would leave.. then gave me the price I was quoted. I go to the room it was clean, but so old.. It needed some updateing. I then went to bed and woke up to the unbearable light penetrating through the door cracks. the next morning I woke up and opened the blinds and looked out at a brick wall.. When I checked out, and complianed, they did nothing for me..Try another hotel, so MANY mor eto choose from.

Well back in Toronto we spent a few days wandering around the city, making use of the great hop-on hop-off bus that they have, taking a boat ride out round the islands, and sampling everything on the beer menu at the Mill Street Brewery.
Toronto was a great town, doesn't really feel like a big city. Plus they have a law which automatically …
Christmas at Niagara on the Lake
... Christmas night dinner at the hotel and although we missed celebrating with the kids we had a different but memorable Christmas Day.
Boxing Day was spent driving through the countryside and visiting a couple of wineries that were open. I must admit and it pains me to say so but we are a little bit over visiting wineries! But Joe did buy a couple of bottles to take back to Toronto.
On our last day we spent ...
About Toronto
... pinches of being lost, I'd look up at the tower and sense somehow where I was or at least where I was going, which was always an orbit around this one centre, a circumferencing. It came to be like looking up into the sky and seeing the face of God, and having him say, Fear not, for I have found you. Except of course, that it was not God but a mast for human signals or some such thing like that. It is no church spire, but still it keeps me upright, it rarely ...
Nobody Will Interview You Now!
... br> Another head hunter had called me for an interview so I scheduled both interviews on the same day. The morning interview with the head hunter went well. They agreed my three year stint overseas was unusual but not a problem if presented properly as I have a good background and interview well.
They pressed me to tell them who had said 'nobody ...
Driving and day 1 in Toronto
... the assumptions that were made about how long they would be underground for (30 days was the plan), the assumed destruction and how similar the logistics were to the setting up for a battleship or submarine that could be at sea for months at a time. We kept on moving and I steeled myself for an intense driving session when we realised we would arrive in Toronto around 6.30pm on a Friday night. Apparently the traffic jams are ...
