Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 288 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Halina Hotel with a character and charm Our stay was excellent. There has been some miscommunication about room change with the receptionist but the manager on duty on the evening of August 31 solved the problem immediately to our full satisfaction. I would like to compliment him for his professional and customer satisfaction attitude. The hotel restaurant and lounge menu and the food was excellent. We really liked that although the hotel serves an international profile of guests, the restaurant menu features typical German dishes. September 4, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by ITtraveller Hotel is slipping I have stayed at this hotel a number of times before, always satisfied but never blown away, this time however i have to say i was genuinely disappointed. It seemed like I was an inconvenience to the staff and the room laundry was worn out,. again a shock for a hotel of this standard. the Spa staff were very little short of rude when i tried to ask a question (firstly in english and then in poor German) but i recognise people laughing at someones inability to properly communicate in German. I actually tried to raise the above points at checkout but it didnt happen, was never asked was I happy with stay and when i tried to talk about it the receptionist answered the phone.....

Rated 5 out of 5 by mike36 Outstanding` I've never written a review for SPG before, but this hotel deserves the effort. The staff was incredible from check-in to check-out. The room was the nicest and largest room I have stayed in throughout all of Europe. The indoor pool and spa services were incredible. The food just as good. All of these were delivered and executed with a smile. My only complaint, would be after the massage, we were given a glass of tap water instead of a bottle of water. After spending a couple hundred Euros on the service, I think it would be a nice touch to give a $.30 bottle of Nestle than just the plain tap water. Bravo to management and the staff. You guys certainly are doing something right! December 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marsh60 A welcoming oasis in Berlin. This hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. They always had a smile and a friendly exchange whether sitting inside/outside with wine/beer or a cup of tea you were made to feel special. The hotel interior especially the staircase on entry gave the wow factor. There are spa facilities and gym available but we just used the pool which was very refreshing after walking the sites. The hotel is centrally located for all sites and public transport. Despite building work near the hotel and the late night restaurants/bars/sites this never disturbed our sleep. Can't fault the staff or the hotel they made our 30th wedding anniversary very special. Thank you. August 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jechho Great property For the price and location, we found this hotel unbeatable. Had some request before we arrived, and Ms. Weschke took very good care of us. Thank you! Platinum breakfast amenity was good, and it was nice to have the green choice option. Room (jr. suite) was lovely, but the windows were not totally soundproofed. Until the huge construction around the hotel is finished, rooms facing the courtyard are the best bet for light sleepers. (But even those had some noise early in the morning.) Room for improvements: - breakfast area was hot, humid and rather tight. Maybe they could work a bit on the ambiance? - had to log onto the internet over and over again. Not very stable, in other words. June 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kate66 Westin Grand Berlin is in a great location Despite nearby construction, the location and superior service of this hotel made it an excellent base for a wonderful trip to Berlin. We were able to walk to many historical sites and museums, shopping and restaurants, and the nearby U-bahn stop was very convenient. The concierge desk helped us greatly on a daily basis, and we enjoyed the ambience of the lobby in the evening as well as the spa. This was a one-on-one trip with my young teen daughter to celebrate my remission from a rare and aggressive cancer. She picked Berlin, and I picked the Westin Grand, and we could not have had a better trip. April 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JaymeP Great Staff - Great Location - Great Hotel I have spent 200 nights outside the country this year and the majority of those nights have been spent at the Westin Grand in Berlin. The location is excellent; you can walk to most of the sites and there are lots of quality restaurant choices near by. The gym is a little small but you have Tiergarten park with a few blocks for running / walking. And there is also a fabulous gym across the street that sells day passes (I think it's called Planet Workout?) Breakfast buffet is really good Their restaurant food is pretty above average; but because I eat their so often...I'm bored with it. Try their Weiner Schnitze...it is really good. The hotel tends to be busy; so I don't get as many suite upgrades as I would like (but this is also tied to the fact that my stays are 10-14 days) Good choice for a hotel in Berlin December 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by seanc724 Great hotel in Berlin We sadly only had one night in Berlin for a long layover and stayed chose the Westin Berlin as as our home. The hotel was very centrally located with easy access to the major sights of Berlin and U-bahn stations. The room was comfortable and well-appointed, and the buffet was well-stocked with a good variety of excellent food, much better than your average Westin. The hotel is only about a 20 Euro taxi ride from Tegel airport and so is very convenient. I only wish the AC in the room got a bit colder, but I'm an American so I like rooms pretty cold; most others wouldn't find a complaint with it. I really liked this hotel and hopefully I will be able to return for longer than one night next time. July 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jesslh77 Not up to standard of Starwood Hotel Given room next to very loud construction after specifically asking not to be located next to construction when made reservation. Tld no other rooms. Then after I complained, offered room upgrade. Then after 20 minute wait, said room not available. Put on twin bed room ( It was our wedding anniversary. Told no other rooms. After I called Starwood Ambassador, room upgrade located for next day. Told bringing wine to us for trouble-wine never arrived. Next morning got call from day supervisor saying they had upgraded room but on side with construction. After much complaining, finally got upgraded room on garden side, which we had to pay extra for, even though hey had no alternate room to give us. June 10, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by jenever bad experience being platinum member forget about this hotel if you are thinking that you are special. no no no. you are average costumer with any recognition for your loyalty. no upgrade, no bonuses. i read once again benefits i have and found that i can choose breakfast as welcome gift. well, reception didn't ask me about anything. hope they at least put points to my account April 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by mkakhor Good location Well situated in a shopping area. No lack of top class shops and restaurants. Convenient for those taking the subway too. Room was up to expectation. Like the bed a lot. View was a let down. My room over look the side wall of another building so not much view really. Like the bathroom though the shower hose need some fixing as it makes a shrill noise during showering. Overall a pleasant stay. The check out was a let down though. The staff was cold and not helpful to some queries that I made on my bill.Definitely she is not up to the kind of service standard of Westin hotels I stayed in. September 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by skim730 Great hotel, central location Very pleased with our stay at The Westin Grand Berlin. Received upgrade to a suite (#235) due to the hotel being fully booked and it was absolutely gorgeous! The only slight downside, no fault of the hotel, was that there was street construction just outside the room which started a bit early in the morning. Windows are well soundproofed though so wasn't terribly disruptive. Very centrally located in the city for sightseeing, just steps away from the Brandenberg gate and many other historic monuments. Staff was very quick to respond to our requests. A very clean and elegant hotel. April 30, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by burnt13 Awful customer service Cannot believe the service I received in this so-called five-star hotel. In short, I accidentally had tea poured over my head one morning at breakfast by the staff and in return got laughed at by the manager because i asked to be accommodated for being burnt as I wasn't even asked to get my shirt dry-cleaned nevertheless an apology by the manager. To add salt to the wound, the hotel GM gave me 5,000 points which I found it extremely insulting for my troubles. To paint you a picture of my state-of-mind, on the long-haul flight on this trip, the entertainment center was not functional during my flight and Delta gave me a 15,000 points (over $150 value) for the trouble (they didn't even physically hurt me like Westin did.) I really didn't expect a service like this from a hotel like Westin. I cannot begin to describe my feelings over this incident and how Westin staff handled the situation. The staff really needs some training in handling situations like this. December 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Elliott21 Good overall; wifi headache! Overall, I was very pleased with the hotel and its amenities. However, I was very dissatisfied with the internet process. I required 4 internet access keys (2 for each person in my reservation). I was granted 2 for the room using my last name and then I was required to go to the front desk EACH DAY to obtain a unique access code for the other two. Finally, on the last day (day 5), one of the staff members thought it would have been best to give me a 5 day pass. I'm not sure why they didn't provide this on day one. Even with the room access key, I was still required to renew my access code after about 8 hours. This proved to be annoying given that I would have to remember to log back in in order to receive emails. October 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grog51 Best hotel for experiencing Berlin Location is fabulous. Close to anything the city has to offer in culture, shopping, hjstory, nightlife and restaurants. Ideally placed for christmas markets. Seamless, professional service with a nice in house bar and restaurant.. Friendly staff. December 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Henrycon Simply Outstanding I stayed with my family at the beautiful Westin Berlin,hotel from August 8th to 10th, it was a really unique special experience. Starting from the doorman / valet, then front desk staff, restaurant staff, managers on dutty and all staff members were always very helpful, they all made our stay very comfortable and unforgettable. The rooms were impeccably clean every day and the food was great. The hotel location is in the heart of the city and makes everything possible "walking distance". The service received everyday at the hotel in every moment was excellent. We didn't find any bad details to make comments about it. Congrats to all Westin Berlin team, members, you all are doing a great job and thank you for having us. Henry Contreras August 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Eriston Worst SPG experience ever! They gave me a room with 2 single size beds (twin in the U.S) and I was with my wife and my 7-year-old boy. When I requested them to place a portable bed for my son, they wanted to charge me 60,00 Euros for the night. Instead of giving me another room with at least a king bed, the staff suggested me to move the twin size beds together. Thank you SPG for the worst night experience ever. March 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AndyMcKUK Great hotel in central location We stayed there from 5th to 8th June and were very impressed. Staff were helpful/attentive and rooms were very comfortable and well equipped. Impressive lobby area with sweeping central staircase up to the 1st/2nd floors. We didn't eat there so can't comment on food etc. One of the best aspects of this hotel is it's location, it is central to all the major attractions (we walked to the majority of them) it has an underground station entrance 50 meters from the front door and a main over ground station 1 stop away on the underground again walkable and close to the River Spree. Berlin is a bit of a building site at the moment with major renovations in progress but not a problem for us and doesn't detract from the hotel in the slightest. June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Robtheglobetrotter Great location overall a great stay in a great location with great service. A few minor points to note here, but I wouldn't let it stop you from staying here: 1. lighting in the lobby bar/restaurant area is dim at night, making it hard to read or work on a laptop 2. I stayed in room 313, the "spa suite". The shower was incredible, but the bedroom lacked drawers to put things like underwear, socks, t-shirts, etc. 3. I had trouble to get the A/C cooled down to my desired level, but at night open windows brought in plenty of fresh cool air so no problem. June 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jamie Excellent hotel When booking an hotel in a city you have never visited before, if like me you worry about 1. Is the hotel location safe and not rough? 2. Is the hotel quiet and a true reflection of it's website? Believe me this hotel gives a big tick to 1 and 2. Although becareful of one or two fancy worded statement within you room. 1st one being, the cleverly place bottle of water. This isn't free, read carefully, cost 6 euro. The 2nd is the bathe robe and slippers. DO NOT OPEN OR USE these aren't free to use and will properly cost you big bucks. March 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by MP75 Not a Westin standard It is an OK hotel for short stay, but there were a few issues that would force me to stay somehwere else next time in Berlin. The hotel is pretty worn out in terms of interior. The reception staff was very wamt and helpful, but the express service staff were in some cases ignorant or not knowledgeable. The room was spacious albeit very simple. No bath. Breakfast is OK, but I expected better quality. But the worst was the road works going on right in the front of the hotel. I was given a room on the 2nd floor, and in the morning (around 8) the workers started their extremely loud work. I know the hotel probably cant do anything to move the works to a later time, but at least they could have given me a room on higher floor, or simply warn about the noise. That was very inconsidrate of them. Also, despite that I am a gold member, no room upgrade was offered to me, even though the hotel wasnt full. Next time I will stay somewhere else. November 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by ilovespainish Old room old hotel Before I arrive the hotel. Mobile SPG app already show I got an upgrade to junior suite. When I arrive at the check in counter. The staff gave me a deluxe room and said it's already upgraded. I said I should have received a junior suite. She said no you book a standard room. I said no. The SPG app show I got an upgrade to a suite because I am platinum member. She then walked inside her office for few mintues and came out ask me to show her the SPG app. Suddenly the app change my room to deluxe room. Then I check the SPG website, there was still junior suite available to book. As a frequency traveller, you should know why. I am disappointed. The breakfast is good but no afternoon or evening cocktail provide for SPG members. Overall the hotel is outdated and old. Location is good. July 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by FrequentTravelerSeattle This hotel has great staff Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. We asked for a drop off laundry service and the concierge was excellent in doing research for us and getting us the information. They always went out of their way to answer our questions, provide recommendations and help us look for information. This hotel exceeded my expectations. My only recommendation is that they work on the cooling in the rooms. We had to open the windows to get the room to cool off. Great place to stay overall and I hardly recommend this place. April 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by NYMC 4th of July in Berlin We had two rooms, one on street side, one on garden.---Street side was subject to construction noise on Friedrichstrasse which precluded late sleep-in Garden side was silent and lovely.-----Easy to find, easy to come and go----English 24/7 no probelm (we were spoliled)---Rooms were humid, and we had limited control on AC.-----Rooms were large, and quickly cleaned each day; bathrooms were luxurious for European standards.---Bathtub is too high off floor, and difficult to get out of.---Would stay again. July 9, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Maufan Convenient location but facilities could be improved The location of the hotel is very convenient. The bed is comfortable but very hot, perhaps a plastic sheet was placed beneath the bed sheets. Also should provide a lighter blanket as alternative. Room cleaning acceptable but staff forgets to refill the paper tissue and took away my own towel, so they should be more careful in identifying what are hotel and what are guest properties. The most inconvenient thing is not having free internet like most other hotels, including those in the Starwood chain July 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dixon Extraordinary in Every Way Our third stay at this extraordinary hotel property within the past year. Staff are most courteous from the bell staff to the housekeeping staff. The rooms are well appointed and very clean. The 'hop-on hop-off' bus stop is across the street from the hotel. There are numerous restaurants, coffee shops and bars in walking distance from the hotel. It is also close to shopping areas (H&M is across the street). Although there is not WiFi at this hotel, there are plenty of hot spots just outside the hotel including a Starbucks. Ask to include the continental breakfast with your room upon checking in. It is a small amount for a great buffet with a variety of Western type food choices as well as your typical European breads, cheeses and sliced meats. You can't go wrong if you choose this hotel. September 8, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Matthias Extra workout ;-) The rooms and location in this hotel are excellent and it remains one of my favorites. However, beware of the rooms all the way on the off-side facing the construction site on Unter-den-Linden Street. You'll find yourself walking each way for at least 10 minutes to then enjoy the view of a major construction site. Also, do not miss the breakfast time by more than a few minutes, there won't even be a cup of coffee and they will send you to Einstein down the road (actually very nice there). July 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rogui Old fashioned charm This was one of our best hotel experiences. The hotel has that indefinable old world style. Service was utterly professional with genuine friendly and good humoured staff. The location is perfect for visiting the stunning sites in Berlin. Facilities to make tea/coffee in our room would have been welcome - yes, a British foible. It was great we were in a room overlooking the garden because of the U-bahn construction. Westin is definitely at the top of our priority list. Bravo! October 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Club2430 Another superb Westin A great hotel, with superb staff, led by a fabulously open and visible management team. This is my second visit to this hotel in 2013 and I can honestly say, this property just shot up to my equal first favourite Westin hotel. For me, what makes a perfect hotel: 1. clean 2. comfortable (heavenly bed) 3. polite (non gum chewing) staff who show you are special 4. high standards of food 5. able to deal with fussy guests (me) 6. good internet connections 7. executive lounge, which this hotel does not have, but an alternative was arranged 8. Central city location so places I need to go can be accessed on foot 9. Acceptable / fair room rates 10. when "challenges" occur, hotel are able to find immediate solutions. The Westin Berlin scored 100% in all of the above. Can not recommend this hotel highly enough.. October 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Womblesbleed Great Location Great location, just inside the old East Berlin. Easy walking distance to the Brandenburg Gate & other sights, 2 tube stops within minutes. Friendly staff with excellent English. Delightfully grand staircase & chandelier. Nice comfortable room with great bed, although room a little small for a supieror. Decent pool & hot tub but sauna was extra( (Eur 8 pp), no steam room or other facilities. Cloud Wi-Fi was good & free, I had no problems surfing & downloading The Times. December 8, 2012

Local leaders have announced the launch of a statewide task force to deal with sexual assaults on college campuses. The issue has been getting increased national attention in recent years.
The task force is comprised of local law enforcement, medical professionals, and representatives from Rhode Island colleges and universities. They're tasked with developing new policies to better handle sexual assaults involving college students. Often, colleges deal with sexual assault internally, and law enforcement is not involved unless a victim wishes to press charges.
Recent college graduates in Rhode Island have some of the highest loan burdens in the country, according to a national study called the Project on Student Debt. At the same time, Rhode Island faces consistently high unemployment and a sluggish economy.
All that made me wonder what it's like to finish college with significant debt, so I set out to meet some of the graduates facing this problem and the experts who study it. I've been amazed by the response to their stories.
A variety of speakers from across the Rhode Island political spectrum will hold a Statehouse rally this afternoon to urge the General Assembly to oppose paying off the 38 Studios bonds.
Among those speaking are Larry Girouard of the R.I. Taxpayers group, spokes people from the R.I. Libertarian Party, the R.I. Green Party and Occupy Providence, the local offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
In the final installment of our series Paying For It: Rhode Islanders Struggle with Student Debt, education reporter Elisabeth Harrison visits the Rhode Island Student Loan Authority to speak with Executive Director Charlie Kelley. She asked him to walk through the payment system for a student who has borrowed $31,000, about the average for recent graduates in Rhode Island.
Colleges all across Rhode Island hold graduation ceremonies this month, and many of their students will receive diplomas and then face thousands of dollars in student loans.
As we continue our series Paying For It: Rhode Islanders Struggle with Student Debt, Rhode Island Public Radio's Elisabeth Harrison looked at how mounting student loans are impacting students and the decisions they make about their future.
Providence Business News Editor Mark Murphy joins Rhode Island Public Radio's Dave Fallon for a weekly business segment The Bottom Line.
Rhode Island actress Viola Davis is talking about her latest project, a television pilot for ABC.
Davis plays ambitious defense attorney Annalise Keating, who also teaches law students at an ivy league university.
"She teaches them how to defend a criminal case in a practical manner by allowing them to help her solve a murder investigation," Davis said, adding there's more than one mystery to be solved after a murder takes place on campus.
The show, "How to Get Away with Murder," takes place in Philadelphia.
Award-winning actor Viola Davis made a stop at Bryant University on Friday during the annual Women's Summit.
The theme of this year's conference: "being the CEO of your own life."
Davis says part of what has made her successful as an actor is her experience growing up in Central Falls.
"Every experience growing up in a dysfunctional family with alcoholism, with poverty, with being the geek always into theater and the Rhode Island State Drama Festival, that has been the wellspring of me as an actor," Davis said.
Once again, Rhode Island has embarked on an advertising campaign to raise our state's flagging self-esteem. RIPR political analyst Scott MacKay says it's time for us to stop running down our tiny corner of New England.
Back in 1996, when Jack Reed was running his first U.S. Senate campaign, Texas Gov. Ann Richards came to Newport to speak at a Reed fund-raiser. The tart-tongued Texan introduced the vertically-challenged Rhode Island Democrat by saying to prolonged laughter that Reed is proof ``that size doesn't matter.''
Rhode Island politicians are increasingly looking to non-profit institutions to finance local government. The latest tug-of-war between town and gown is in Smithfield, where the town thinks Bryant University is not paying its fair share. RIPR political analyst Scott MacKay says its time for cooperation, not confrontation.

ASRock Z77 OC Formula (Intel Z77) Motherboard Review - System BenchmarksJust coming off its world record run, we check out the ASRock Z77 OC Formula mobo built from the ground up by Taiwanese overclocker, Nick Shih.
PCMark 7
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.04
Developer Homepage: http://www.pcmark.com
Product Homepage: http://www.pcmark.com
PCMark 7 includes a range of tests that give different views of your system's performance. In the Advanced Edition you can choose which tests to run. The common use and hardware component tests are unavailable in the Basic Edition.
Overall system performance is measured by the PCMark test. This is the only test that returns an official PCMark score. The Lightweight test measures the system capabilities of entry-level systems and mobility platforms unable to run the PCMark test, but it does not generate a PCMark score. Common use performance is measured by the scenario tests - Entertainment, Creativity and Production - each of which results in a scenario score. Hardware component performance is measured by the hardware tests - Computation and Storage - each of which results in a hardware score.
Version and / or Patch Used: 6.5
Developer Homepage: http://www.cyberlink.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.cyberlink.com/products/mediaespresso/overview_en_AU.html?fileName=overview&r=1
MediaEspresso is a blazingly fast media universal converter that can transcode your videos, photos and music files and out put them to a huge range of portable devices including mobile phones, portable media players and even game consoles. With technologies like Smart Detect, Direct Sync and CyberLink's TrueTheater video enhancements, you can not only forget about complicated format, resolution and output settings, but your converted file will come out the other side looking better than when it went in!
Looking at PCMark 7 and MediaEspresso performance you can see out of the box performance lines up just as you'd expect. Overclocked, though, we again see some really nice gains and what's great about these benchmarks is that you see some real-world improvements with the overclock as over three minutes is shaved off the MediaEspresso encode time.

Plot Summary
Seven feet tall. Four hundred pounds. A rusty steel plate screwed into his skull and razor-sharp fingernails that pluck out his victims' eyes. Reclusive psychopath Jacob Goodnight is holed up in the long-abandoned and rotting Blackwell Hotel, alone with his nightmares until eight petty criminals show up for community service duty along with the cop who put a bullet in Jacob's head four years ago. When one of their own is kidnapped by the killer and her fate uncertain, the remaining lawbreakers must fight this indestructible force of nature with a violent score to settle.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: ... the appropriately named Mr. Dark has no use for actors as anything other than body-bag fillers.
Rotten: If there were an award for mangiest set decoration, See No Evil -- a routine slasher film set in a condemned hotel -- might cop it.
Rotten: Although much blood is spilled and splattered, precious little suspense is generated during See No Evil.
Rotten: ... I see no originality in See No Evil.
Customer Reviews
Just Bad
Flat out worst movie I have ever seen!
What are you talking about ?
This movie is actually one of the best horror movies. The thrill and suspense continues throughout the whole story. Theres also a story behind his child hood which is intresting. It's very gory but horror films usually require that right ?
This & Cabin Fever are officially the two worst horror movies I've ever seen. The same tired story of an over bearing Christian mother who turns her kid into a psychopath that kills everyone. It's as over dramatic as the WWE, it's self! The acting was terrible & so was the plot. Don't waste your time or money on this one!

Posted by Jordan Waller, 10 October 2013
From living it up with Kelly, Lisa and Jessie in Saved By The Bell's Bayside High to the chaos of Recess' Third Street School, the 9 TV schools you wished that you'd attended growing up...
Saved By The Bell depicted one of the most desirable high-school experiences ever seen. Who wouldn't want to spend their school days in stonewash denim, knee-high sneakers and a tucked-in neon tee, with a personal harem of Kelly, Lisa and Jessie? Sure, you'd have to deal with Screech, but swings and roundabouts.
We'd have loved to have got in one little fight, if that meant we could have attended Bel-Air Academy, the school of Will Smith. How we dreamed of strutting the corridors with Will, shocking the snooty rich kids with our matching paisley blazers. Yeeeah! The streets, yo!
What could be better than a virtually lawless boarding school, which has PE lessons involving a violent blood sport and is filled to the rafters with magic-fingered fitties who are always up for sneaking off to explore the grounds with you? Plus, Hermione Granger (er, in the latter years, obviously).
When you're a self-obsessed adolescent with a groin full of hormones and the weight of the world on your shoulders, Dawson Creek's Capeside High looks ideal. Plenty of troubled hotties to have ridiculously wordy conversations with, and lots of artistically lit lockers to bang your fist against as you fight back tears while sadface indie-pop plays in the background. All that and Katie Holmes before she shacked up with Tom Cruise and got all weird.
When Aussie teen soap Heartbreak High arrived in the '90s it made every other TV school look like St Wussingston's Weak-Kneed Academy For Mummy's Boys. Drinking! Drugging! Impregnating! Kids living together in a cool warehouse despite having no apparent means of financial support! We so badly wanted some of that action, not to mention behind-the-bikeshed fun time with that blonde one with the 40-a-day voice.
Disney show Recess may only have been a cartoon, but it offered a weirdly accurate portrayal of the pressures and politics that make every school day a potential minefield. To conform or not to conform? To rebel or keep your head low? These are the soul-testing questions that keep 10-year-olds awake at night. That, and three-quarters of a bag of Haribo before bedtime.
If you grew up in the '90s and have an identical-twins fetish, you can probably trace it back to cheesy teen drama Sweet Valley High. The gist: blonde twins – played by the mesmerisingly fit Brittany and Cynthia Daniel – did something or other with their classmates. Adventures or some shit, whatever. The sole reason for watching was to construct increasingly depraved incestuous-lesbo fantasies in your disgusting head.
Alright, so attending the ultra-exclusive school depicted in Gossip Girl would've involved a series of painful sex-change operations, but it would've totally been worth it. You'd be rubbing well-bred shoulders with New York's hottest, richest and dirtiest teen power-vixens, living a life of champagne binges and cat-fights. Of course, you'd be a lady, so you wouldn't actually be able to shag them as you'd imagined... which is where this daydream falls apart.
Every generation has a different memory of what Grange Hill was like. But really, there's only one true golden age, and that's the one with the flying sausage-on-a-fork in the opening credits. How we'd love to have attended an institution at which food regularly sailed through the air via the medium of lobbed cutlery. Is there any more awesome symbol of two-fingered teenaged idiocy? No. There ain't.

On his last feature, unsigned crooner mdnt likened himself to Adonis, the Greek God of desire and male beauty. If that (somewhat immodest) comparison holds true, I know there are many women out there who'd like to have a tête-à-tête with him. According to his latest single, though, he's only got eyes for one. On promo cut 1v1, The Theorist's gentle bell chords, reverb-drenched fingersnaps and syncopated hi-hats set the mood for a candlelit tryst. mdnt comes with vocals to match the steamy beat, delivering his come-ons in a silky falsetto. Are you head-over-heels for this ethereal bedroom burner? Then be sure to purchase the cut tomorrow, August 27, when it makes its iTunes/Spotify debut.

- 1792 --- France declared war on Austria, marking the start of the French Revolutionary wars.
- 1832 --- The U.S. Congress and President Andrew Jackson made Hot Springs, Arkansas the first Federal Reservation in order to protect the hot springs flowing from the southwestern slope of Hot Springs Mountain. Although Hot Springs Federal Reservation's name wasn't changed to Hot Springs National Park until 1921, Hot Springs is the oldest park in the National Park System. Yellowstone National Park was the first to bear the title of 'National Park'. It became a national park in 1872.
- 1841 --- Edgar Allen Poe's story, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, first appears in Graham's Lady's and Gentleman's Magazine. The tale is generally considered to be the first detective story. The story describes the extraordinary "analytical power" used by Monsieur C. Auguste Dupin to solve a series of murders in Paris. Like the later Sherlock Holmes stories, the tale is narrated by the detective's roommate. Following the publication of Poe's story, detective stories began to grow into novels and English novelist Wilkie Collins published a detective novel, The Moonstone, in 1868. In Collins' story, the methodical Sergeant Cuff searches for the criminal who stole a sacred Indian moonstone. The novel includes several features of the typical modern mystery, including red herrings, false alibis, and climactic scenes. The greatest fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, first appeared in 1887, in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novel A Study in Scarlet. The cozy English mystery novel became popularized with Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series in the 1920s, when other detectives like Lord Peter Wimsey and Ellery Queen were also becoming popular. In the 1930s, sometimes called the golden age of detective stories, the noir detective novel became the mainstay of writers like Dashiell Hammet, Raymond Chandler, and Mickey Spillane. Tough female detectives such as Kinsey Millhone and V.I. Warshawski became popular in the 1980s.
- 1906 --- Firefighters finally halt the spread of flames in San Francisco after an earthquake two days earlier caused a substantial part of the city to burn. Nearly 700 people lost their lives from the earthquake and fires and 200,000 were left homeless. At 5:12 a.m. on April 18, an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 8.3 rocked the city. It was felt as far away as Los Angeles and Oregon. San Francisco, with a population of about 400,000 by 1906, had already experienced significant quakes in the second half of the 19th century. Accordingly, some authorities had sought to put stricter building codes in place to protect the city's rapidly growing population. However, these codes were not enforced uniformly, so damage from earthquakes varied widely from neighborhood to neighborhood and, even, building to building. Despite the fact that many buildings were leveled by the earthquake, far more damage and death was caused by the resulting fires. The wooden buildings around Market Street and Chinatown were immediately set ablaze. Broken gas lines extended the reach of the fires. At least 50 separate fires were reported the first morning; there was not nearly enough firefighting personnel or equipment available to handle the disaster. Water mains that would ordinarily have assisted the firefighting efforts had been damaged by the earthquake, further reducing the possibility of quickly containing the fires. By the afternoon of April 18, it was apparent that desperate measures were required. The mayor authorized firefighters to blow up houses and buildings with dynamite, if necessary, to create fire breaks. Furthermore, 1,000 men were deputized to summarily execute looters or anyone impeding the firefighting effort. By April 19, the fire had spread over an area three miles long. The U.S. Navy sent ships to assist the city. President Roosevelt asked the Red Cross to step in to help survivors. Changing winds and a massive volunteer effort finally halted the fire on the night of April 20. Almost five square miles of downtown San Francisco had been destroyed by the fire; only a few buildings within this area were left standing.

Hope persists for Golden Guernsey plant's future
A week after the sudden closing of the Golden Guernsey dairy company, resulting in the loss of more than 100 jobs and sending schools scrambling to find another source of milk, Teamsters union official Gene Gowey says he clings to hope the plant will reopen.
Some people had worked at the Waukesha plant for more than 25 years, but they're too young to retire and they've spent their entire career in a niche business that doesn't offer many local job opportunities, said Gowey, recording secretary for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 695 in Madison. »Read Full Article(151)
Milwaukee's Integrated Mail Industries expansion stalled
When land sale negotiations between two neighboring businesses on Milwaukee's north side failed, city officials supported efforts to force a sale - an action justified because one of the companies was threatening to move if it couldn't expand onto the disputed property.
Nearly three years after the land was sold, expansion plans for Integrated Mail Industries Ltd. remain stalled because of a slow economy. And while the company's president says Integrated Mail still plans to use the property, the project has no specific timetable. »Read Full Article(1)

It's very difficult right now to sit down and write a coherent blog post. I have lots of notes in my planner. Lots of ideas for posts to write, DIY projects to do and photograph so I can make tutorials, lots of things I want to review and share with you … the list goes on and on. But right now, my brain is on overload and this blog is being temporarily neglected. (Sorry.)
There are such huge shifts taking place in my life. Ever since Myles was born, really, I've been in transition. It suddenly became very important to me to begin making a lot of my dreams happen. The next two months begin the journey toward finally living the life I've always wanted: living in the country, having a "homestead" (even if it is tiny), living more self-sufficiently, and simplifying life in general. I'm really (really, really!) excited to share all of it with you. (This blog is called Life in BETA, after all — constantly evolving and improving!) I'm just not there yet.
This weekend I'll be doing my best to finish a lot of the painting at the new house. I wanted everything done and pristine, but it's just not going to happen. Instead, I'm just making sure all the trim is painted and all the walls that will have major pieces of furniture or appliances blocking them are done. Everything else will have to wait because we're going to be moving the first weekend in October.
We're downsizing quite a lot in our move, and I am having a very hard time visualizing where things are going to go, so I decided the best way to do it would be to move all the necessities then go back to the old house and pick and choose the other things to keep. Then we're going to have a big household sale at the old house. Hopefully that will get rid of everything!
I'm hoping to avoid having to get a storage unit, but I'm a horrible, sentimental keeper-of-stuff. I guess we'll see how it goes…
Life is going to be very busy in the next year or so. The house needs work and I have so many plans. My heart is happy and I'm excited to start it all, but this final month of transition is going to be crazy! Bring it on.

Graham Hammell Named Director, Harman Professional System Development And Integration Group
Harman Professional has named Graham Hammell as Director of its core research and development team, the System Development and Integration Group (SDIG). Todayâs announcement comes as SDIGâs mandate is broadened to address more Harman Professional product families and also a greater number of application markets. According to Rob Urry, VP and GM, Harman Professional Signal Processing Group, who made the announcement, Graham Hammellâs experience will be an essential guiding force in delivering the appropriate feature-sets for the respective applications.
âSDIG has developed HiQnet, System Architect and our internal AVB program to such a point that we now have extremely strong, scalable core technologies that we are beginning to deploy in a whole host of markets and applications,â?

Graham has this experience and I am confident it will manifest itself in an exciting array of innovations that will be seen throughout Harman Professional and soon after in the market.â?
Hammell joined Harman in 2000, as software engineer at BSS in Potters Bar, UK. He became fundamental to the development of the BSS Soundweb London product family, acting first as Project Manager and later as Engineering Manager for HiQnet London Architect⢠configuration and control software.

In 2008, he was appointed to the role of Director of Applications Development, overseeing software interface development for Harman brands BSS, dbx, Lexicon and Digitech. In 2009, Hammell himself moved with his wife and family from the UK to Salt Lake City.
As Director SDIG, Hammell will lead the global Harman HiQnet development teams in the US and India. He will be responsible for strategizing the future of Harmanâs core technologies â the HiQnet control protocol and its core system configuration application HiQnet System Architectâ¢. In addition, he will coordinate HiQnet development with all brands of the Harman Professional division and will direct the integration of the Ethernet AVB protocol into Harmanâs system strategies.
Bringing a vast experience of large-scale audio system software architecture to the role, Hammell said today, âIâm extremely excited to have the opportunity of spearheading the development of Harman Professionalâs core technologies, and integrating the next generation of Harman products. The adoption of the AVB protocol is hugely critical to the future of Harman systems and I very much look forward to integrating the protocol seamlessly into the Harman HiQnet ecosystem.â?
Former Director Lynn Eggli will take up a new position at SDIG focusing on managing an engineering team dedicated to developing system design software targeted at specific markets.

Once again I'm reposting for contacts who never saw this image, and because I miss Paris and can't prepare anything new to post this week. Chez Julien is a lovely place (in the Marais district) that was created from two former shops, a bar on the left and a patisserie on the right. In the background is an ancient medieval church, L'Eglise de St. Gervais. This little gem of a place is just off the Pont Louis Philippe, and a little bit to the east of the Hotel de Ville of Paris, near the quais.
It's a beautiful part of town on the Right Bank -- a historic area and originally part of the medieval Paris which was encircled by the historic wall of Philippe Auguste. (Philippe Auguste was the French king who built the original Louvre palace and fort that guarded the west entrance to ancient Paris.) There is another medieval building, the Hotel de Sens, just a few steps away from Eglise St. Gervais and Chez Julien that attests to the fine architecture of the middle ages. Finding this restaurant was like coming upon a little jewel, truly, with the fantastic old church standing grandly in the background. A mysterious, rich, and beautiful scene full of the mood of ancient days!! Behind me was the right quai of the Seine, then on across the river is the tip of the Ile St. Louis, next to that is Notre Dame on the Ile de la Cite. Truly the heart of Old Paris.
Here are links to information and historic maps of Paris ..... the part of Paris shown in this photo and some information about the ancient walls built between 1190 and 1210 around the medieval city.
Here is a link to a wonderful series of old maps of the historic center of Paris, showing the development around the Ile de la Cite and Ile St. Louis from the 1400's to the 1800's.

Although Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were big hits at the Golden Globe Award, Tina has ruled out any possibility of them hosting the Oscars in 2014.
Despite the fact that 'Tina and Amy' were mentioned in the William Shatner segment of the Oscars opening monologue, with Shatner quoting that 'everyone wants Tina and Amy' to host the Oscars, it was viewed more as a joke than anything serious. Of course, Seth MacFarlane went on to earn terrible reviews for his lackluster performance, and everyone was soon clamoring for Tina and Amy to actually host the 2014 Oscars.
Alas, she's definitely not interested and she explains, "It's an honor to be 'Shatnered.' [But] I just feel like that gig is so hard. Especially for, like, a woman -- the amount of months that would be spent trying on dresses alone . . . No way."
Even without the added pressure of prepping for an event like that [and trust us, prepping for the Oscars takes up months of your time], Fey has quite a busy schedule ahead of her. She is currently promoting 'Admission' with Paul Rudd, and then she will go into production for the new Steve Carell movie 'Mail Order Groom' as well as start prepping for the 'Muppets' movie.
