Historical Traveler Reviews 1908 Ayres Inn San Antonio
Leave the Hotels Behind
We stayed at the Inn for 4 nights so we were able to get the feel for the place and the owners, Mike and Hector. If you shy away from B&B because of their floral wallpaper, overly feminine overtones and grandmother-style fabrics, 1908 Ayres is the place for you.
The rooms are have a modern feel and are beautifully decorated. You won't find a floral pattern on the walls or plastic vines on your bedpost. The beds are incredibly comfortable (equal to Westin's Heavenly Bed) and the linens are ultra luxurious. The bathrooms are extremely large and modern with beautiful dark wood vanities, plenty of space for your toiletries and thick luxurious towels.
We had a chance to view all the rooms and would have stayed in any of them. There are two sitting rooms on the downstairs level, a beautiful large dining room, sun room and kitchen. The dining room has a small refrigerator filled with OJ, sodas, bottled water, V8 juice, milk and yogurt, which are available to you 24 hours a day.
Mike will provide directions to anywhere you wish to go or suggestions for dinner, etc. Hector makes a wonderful margarita, which we enjoyed one afternoon while chatting with Mike and Hector.
You are provided with a cell phone so you can contact Mike or Hector at anytime if you are out and need assistance, directions, etc.
Mike and Hector have invested a tremendous amount of time, expense and sweat equity into their beautiful Inn and it really shows. The next time you are visiting San Antonio, take a break from the hotel chain experience and give 1908 Ayres a try. You won't be disappointed.
Got Romance?
My partner and I had the opportunity to stay at this newly established B&B....AMAZING....We had the most romantic, fun filled weekend in a long time....The BONHAM was the room of our choice for two days....there were no need for favorite downtown hot spots or any need to go out ...everything we needed was right there in that room....Mike was AWESOME.....he made our stay there evenmore enjoyable by being so helpful with everything.....THIS IS THE ULTIMATE " HOT SPOT"....
Stay here!
Obviously, I am not the first person on tripadvisor to love the 1908 and, after staying there last night, I can understand the prodigious reviews. Mike and Hector are truly gracious hosts who do an exceptional job of making you feel right at home while maintaining an air of privacy to your stay. Accommodations are first class, similar to what you will find in many luxury hotels around the world. On your next trip to San Antonio get off the Riverwalk and explore this charming property and the neighborhoods of SA.
Awsome B&B
My partner and I truly enjoyed the time we spent at the Ayres 1908 Inn. It is located in a nice neighborhood close to downtown, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to allow for quiet, relaxing time. The owners, Mike & Hector, were friendly and went out of their way to make our stay extra special. We stayed in the Bonham room...from the beautiful large bed that was so comfortable to the bathroom with the Jacuzzi tub and separate glass shower it was an awesome room. We really liked the modern technology (i.e. HD TVs and i-home radio), and how it was all well blended with the era d�cor. The rest of the Inn was very clean and inviting. They also had a nice selection of foods, including fruit, quiche, cereal and a yogurt parfait that was excellent.
We've stayed in "Fancy" hotels in downtown San Antonio before and much preferred the Ayres 1908 Inn to any of them....it has the quality of those fancy hotels with the personal service of the best B&Bs. If you are looking to relax and spend time w/ a very special person in your life, then you are going to do just that that Ayres 1908 Inn. We highly recommend staying at this B&B!
Best B&B Ever
Reserved through B&B website while my house was being painted and it was not a disappointment. Close to a great Mexican Food Resturant, colleges and downtown (about 5-7 mins down Main Street), where I needed to be the next day. Great nights' sleep and I awoke to fresh pastrys, fruit and coffee. I've stayed in several B&B before, but this was the best.
Loved the Ayres INN
Stayed at several B&Bs over the years and this is at the top of the list. Everythig was new, fresh, and of the highest quality. And the house is very very comfortable.
Wow! Loved it!
We stayed at the Inn for one night and I wish it had been longer! I would go to San Antonio just to stay here! Mike was very helpful and attentive. We stayed in the Travis Suite and it was fabulous. Elegant and inviting. I had the best night's sleep and woke up to enjoy a delicious breakfast. I highly recommend the Greek yogurt parfait. Simply divine. I can't say enough great things about our stay and I've been raving about it to everyone I meet. I'm already planning my next trip there. All in all, an incredible stay in an incredible place!
New in town!!
We have stayed in several B&B's across the US and abroad. I can say that my experience here was very nice. Mike and Hector make you feel at home. The accomodations are perfect. We stayed in the Travis Room and the room was very comfortable. The bath area was quite large. They had coffee, teas, and several items available 24 hours. The breakfast was very nice with several types of muffins a delightful crumb cake and 2 different types of quiches. They also had a fruit and yogurt parfait that was made with Greek yogurt and honey.
I would highly recommend the Ayres Inn to anyone travelling to SanAntonio. The area is in close proximity to the riverwalk, but far enough away that you don't have a touristy feeling. We will definitely stay again.
1st class all the way
Again, I too was very apprehensive at staying at a place that just opened but my worries were quickly erased. The owners went out of there way to make sure we were comfortable. Very clean, modern rooms, excellent amenities, and a very homey atmosphere. We cant wait to go back and stay at this wonderful B/B!
Very Impressed
We were heading to SA for a weekend get away and a friend indicated a new B&B opened up in the neighborhood and that it looked nice. So, although a little nervous staying at some unknown place, sight unseen, we were very happy. I have to admit that we were also a bit nervous that the place had just opened, but it really felt as if the place had been in business for years - and successfully! The house and furnishings were all fantastic! Breakfast was light fare, but we eat healthy anyway, so that was just fine.
We stayed in the Bonham room, (a hero of the Alamo I think) and it was great. I can't really think of anything we were unhappy about...maybe the rain in SA that weekend, but that's about it. Overall, great place and we'll be going back.

Katie Askew
Once in college, students quickly realize that time means nothing. Hours spent not doing homework fly by while hours in the lecture hall merely crawl. You need go to class and you need to work to make some money but you also need to relax with friends. Is it possible to organize work and play time wisely in college? Of course!
Have you ever heard of the rule of three? If you haven't, it means that for every credit number you're taking, you're advised to spend three times that per week outside of the classroom doing work for the class if you want a high grade. For example, under the rule of three, my three-credit convergence journalism class will require at least nine hours of work outside the classroom on a weekly basis; multiply that by a normal 15- or 16-credit schedule and you're spending at least 45 hours a week on outside homework or studying! (Using the rule of three is, of course, just a suggestion: Some classes may require more or less time.)
Schoolwork is full-time job in itself so who has time for anything else? Well, a lot of college students make time to work to pay for rent, groceries or textbooks. If you want to work, the best bet is to find an on-campus job. The scheduling is usually more suited to student life and managers will work around your class schedule. Sometimes, you will get lucky with a job that lets you do your homework while you're on the clock! You can find employment off-campus as well but be aware that these jobs usually require more work to schedule around.
If you're working and attending school, the most important thing to remember is to not overwork yourself! Limit the numbers of hours you work per week – a reasonable amount is anywhere from 8 to 12 hours – and consider practicing the rule of three to keep your school and work lives balanced.
Katie Askew is a sophomore at the University of Minnesota pursuing degrees in journalism and English. At school, Katie can be found reading, drumming or working in the Office of Admissions. Outside of school, she enjoys traveling, teaching and performing music and spending time outdoors with friends and family. Katie loves all things zebra and has a necessary addiction to coffee. Her iPod is perpetually playing Death Cab for Cutie or classical music because she truly believes that when words fail, music speaks.

If you're the type of student that struggled through your more difficult high school classes, doesn't have an outstanding GPA or ACT score and are worried you won't get admitted to a normal four-year college program, fear no more! Many schools around the country are implementing programs for students who may be below the normal admission averages or require extra help in the first few years of college.
The University of Minnesota's program is called Access to Success (ATS) and is specifically within the College of Liberal Arts, one of seven freshman-admitting colleges at the U. ATS is a student community that bases selection from your admission application but the community includes high school students who appear as if they will succeed in the college atmosphere and just weren't fully prepared through high school. The benefits of the program include a small learning community with special classes, tutoring support and student-to-student mentoring all while experiencing everything a college student can experience.
All students in the ATS community are assigned an ATS academic adviser who helps them explore majors and opportunities, a career counselor who helps them research and find careers that interest them and a peer mentor who helps them adjust to college life. In addition, ATS participants will have a major or college adviser who helps them declare their majors and plan their courses. The staff in the program wants its mentees to succeed and will do everything in their power to make that happen.
College really can be a good fit for everyone with programs like ATS in place. If you're interested, check out your top school's website or ask your admissions counselor for more information. Even if you're not eligible for an ATS-style program, tutoring and study tips never hurt. Every school has tutoring sessions or mentoring programs available to students – all you have to do is find them!

The zombie obsession has exploded! Zombie pub crawls, zombie Halloween costumes, zombie movies and now, even a massive zombie-infused days-long game of tag on your college campus. That's right, can you say best extracurricular ever?
So what is this craze and how does it apply to college students? Well, it's called Humans vs. Zombies (HvZ for short) and was invented by Brad Sappington and Chris Weed at Goucher College in 2005. The idea of the game spread virally across Facebook and it's now played at more than 650 college campuses on every continent (except Antarctica, of course). HvZ is basically a massive game of tag that is moderated by the few people who first initiated the game at your school. All players begin as humans except for one Original Zombie chosen that starts to tag human players to turn them into zombies. Players are signified as a human if they carry an index card with an ID number and a bandana around their arm or a zombie if they wear a bandana around their head. The zombies have to tag and "eat" a human every 48 hours by reporting the ID number to the website run by the game admins or they starve and are out of the game. The rules state that the zombies win if there are no human players left or the humans win by starving all the zombies to death.
Usually NERF guns or rolled up socks are sufficient for tagging but since the game has exploded into a worldwide phenomenon, you can purchase specific HvZ gear, "guns" and bandanas online. To find out more about how to start your own game of HvZ at your college or to watch the documentary, click here...then to decide if you're playing for the living or the undead!

By now, most of the priority deadlines for college applications have passed. You have filled out your last application, written your final essay and everything is under review...so what's left for you to do?
During the period between submitting your application and getting an admissions decision, there is a lot you can do besides just sitting around waiting. Although patience is a virtue, why don't you take a look at what I did and see if you can keep busy!
Visit or revisit. If you haven't already visited your choice colleges, now is the time. Take a tour, meet with an admissions counselor and talk to students you see about campus life. If you have already visited, go again because the second visit is almost always more informative than the first: Now that you have seen a few different types of schools, you can go back to your top choices and get more pertinent information because you'll know exactly what types of questions to ask.
Volunteer. If you are deferred or waitlisted to your top college (knock on wood!), volunteer hours are great additions to your application and make you a more promising candidate. It shows that you are really doing everything you can to be a well-rounded student. If you were accepted to your top college, those volunteer hours didn't go to waste – it's humbling to give your time and maybe volunteering at the local hospital has given you a potential new career path as a doctor or nurse!
Job shadow. Shadowing someone working a job you're interested in is a great way to acquire lots of information directly from those in the industry. After the job shadow, maybe you'll realize becoming an orthopedic surgeon isn't right for someone as squeamish as you are or maybe you'll realize how much you love healing others. You won't know until you job shadow!
Sure, the couch is comfortable but get up and get out – there is a lot more you can do to prepare for those admissions decision letters!

Finding the right college for you may seem daunting but it's actually easier than ever before. (Thanks, Internet!) For those new to the process, here are a few tips to get you started on your quest to find your perfect school:
The easiest way to find colleges is to let them find you. A major part of a college admissions counselors' jobs is to recruit prospective students so keep a close eye on your snail mailbox, your email inbox, your phone and even sites like Scholarships.com because you'll most likely be contacted by a college via one of those paths. (Side note: Create a more professional email address for college communications – the admissions office WILL laugh at your email@example.com address so keep it simple and classy with some variation of email@example.com.)
Don't turn away any one type of school just because you think it's not for you. Generic college brochures and pamphlets you receive in the mail are just that: generic. It's impossible to get the big picture from a few glossy pages; it takes some personal research to find the parts of the school that pertain to you.
Just because a school was perfect for your parents, best friend or significant other doesn't mean it'll be the right fit for you. College Board and Scholarships.com both have great college search tools that allow you to narrow your search based on location, majors, cost, activities and housing. Just pick from your personal list and you'll get links to colleges' admissions pages.
Virtual tours are helpful but try to physically visit the schools you're most interested in. I can't stress enough that the campus visit can be the most important factor in a student's decision. Visiting various kinds of schools can help to narrow your search as well; tech schools, public institutions, private institutions, rural colleges, Big 10 universities, Ivy League universities, community colleges, small schools and even beachfront colleges all have something unique to offer and you may not know what that is until you step foot on campus!

Fall in Minnesota conjures images of apple orchards, sweaters, falling leaves and pumpkin patches. The ravishing yellows, browns, reds and greens of the leaves perfectly accent the serious brick buildings and stately campus architecture at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. Students take advantage of the pleasant weather patterns by spending as much time as possible outside. There is only one thing that ruins that distinct fall feeling: tobacco smoke.
Even though it's well-known that exposure to secondhand smoke can cause serious disease and even death, few colleges have actually made changes to protect the health and safety of their students. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 126 million non-smoking Americans are exposed to secondhand smoke each year. In addition, secondhand smoke in the United States causes an estimated 3,400 lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers every year. Colleges have been hearing the pleas for tobacco-free campus proposals for years but only a handful have listened – for example, all of Arkansas' and Iowa's state-supported college and university campuses have been smoke-free since last year – and it's time for the rest of the nation follow suit.
Thankfully, a Minnesota school – Minnesota State University – is. MSU in Mankato will implement a tobacco-free campus program starting January 1, 2012. Sadly, the protocol change is not free of complaints from the student body but, if the Facebook page is any indication, the majority is in support of this change. There's no doubt that not only will campus air be cleaner to breathe but cigarette butt litter will also be vastly reduced. I only hope the same kinds of changes are made at the U of M – I HATE dodging smoke clouds on the way to class!
Is your campus smoke-filled, smoke-free or somewhere in the middle thanks to new initiatives? (Find out your school's status here.) Do you think administrators should address the campus smoking issue more or should it be up to students to take action?

While living at home, my older brother and I were fortunate enough to never share a bedroom with anyone but our stuffed animals so coming into college, I knew I was in for quite the shock. My biggest anxiety wasn't getting through hard classes, traveling around campus or living in a big city – it was sharing a 12'x12' space with another human. Living with, studying around, sleeping near and breathing the same air as some random person I've never met before? Thanks...but I'll pass!
If you share my feelings about communal living, one way to ease this anxiety is to room with someone you already know. This wasn't an option for me: I was not only one of four students graduating from my high school to go to the University of Minnesota and the other three students were boys. If you find yourself in a similar situation, ask around: Maybe an acquaintance or friend of a friend is looking for a roommate as well.
I'm sure you've all heard the stories of best friends attending college together, rooming together and living happily ever after together, right? Well, yes it can happen but it can also turn out poorly and result in losing a friend. Be careful about what friend you choose to live with and if your friendship can survive the trials and pressures of a small space and a new environment.
The alternative is being assigned a roommate randomly. This person has the potential to be your new best friend or she has the potential to be your worst enemy. For me, my randomly-assigned roomie turned out to be the biggest thorn in my side but I was fortunate enough to have a great relationship with my floormates and I always found sanctuary from my crazed roommate in a neighbor's room.
So, which roommate route are you considering?

After 13 years of school, are you thinking about postponing your college experience? Taking a gap year is a common post-grad option, so don't feel alone! Even I considered taking a semester off to pursue missionary work but in the end decided staying in school was the best choice for me. Still weighing your options? Here's some info to help you make a decision.
The first step is attending a gap year fair in your area. These fairs can show the different options available to you instead of going directly to college. There are tons of options like student exchange or travel, volunteer and missionary trips, or even jobs or internships. Possibilities like these will keep you from just sitting around for a year...and will look much better on your resume than "channel surfing" or "loafing."
Taking a gap year isn't all fun and games, though, and getting back into the swing of school could be the hardest change to make. Not only will taking the SAT or ACT after high school be hard (Ninth grade algebra anyone? I can't remember any of that!) but it's also harder to get letters of recommendation from teachers and guidance counselors even a year or two after high school graduation.
The best option is to do the "normal" duties as a high school senior. Visit colleges, ask teachers for recommendations, write college essays, apply to schools, take the necessary standardized tests and get accepted to college. This is important because maybe after visiting and experiencing just a bit of college life, you will want to continue your education and be less likely to drop out shortly after enrolling. Also, most schools will allow you to defer your enrollment for one year so if you do want to take a gap year, you have a plan to follow when you return.

Visiting a college campus for the first time can be overwhelming so it's important to do a little research both before and during your visit.
Most colleges will show you a residence hall during your visit but before you get to campus, check out their housing site online. Take a look at the different options you have for housing (dorms, apartments, etc.) so you have a little background on the types of amenities offered. Also, don't be fooled by the residence hall you are shown on your tour because it may be the best of the best...and potentially unreachable for you. Ask your tour guide what this hall is like in comparison to others and if it's only available to certain students (freshmen, upperclassmen, graduate students, athletes, etc.).
With that in mind, ask your tour guide any questions you have about the school you may call your alma mater one day! It makes the visit more personal and relaxes the tour guide (trust me, we're more nervous than we look!). The guides have lived in the residence halls, they have taken classes and they obviously know what campus life is like. Ask them what they do on the weekends and what their schedules are like during the semester. Getting an idea of what real campus life is like first-hand from a student can help you decide if this is the school for you.
My work behind the scenes in UM's Office of Admissions has shown me all the wrong things I did while touring college campuses as a high school senior but what I regret most is not asking questions. I don't know if I was too shy or if I thought I was too cool but either way, I was silent during my visits. In hindsight, I realize that I could have learned so much more if I just opened my mouth! Learn from my mistakes and make the most out of your campus visits.

They may attend different schools, have opposite majors, hail from varied backgrounds and covet diverse career aspirations but the one topic that all college students can agree on is that the college grading system is a lot different than the one they encountered during their high school years. Professors curve tests, weigh assignments differently and may never tell you a single grade until after the final. Unlike me, though, you have someone to lead you in the right direction – away from those grades that aren't at the beginning of the alphabet.
The most important thing to remember is that there is no "parent view," "infinite campus" or any other type of online grading database to view daily and check-up on your grades. In college, you might get a professor that will update mid-term and final grades online, but very rarely will professors at a large university (like my school, the University of Minnesota) take the time to update grades – sometimes thousands of them – from the different classes they teach until absolutely necessary. It's very likely that you'll never see a letter grade until two weeks after the semester is finished and your final grades are posted...unless you are proactive.
To combat getting a potentially awful shock at the end of the semester, you must never assume you know what your current grade is. Pay attention to the grading scale – some professors will include a breakdown on their syllabi – or simply go to the source. Professors have office hours for a reason, so knock on their doors and start up conversations about your grades. Not only do you score some brownie points with your profs since you gave them some company during office hours (a resource many students do not take advantage of, BTW), but you also have concrete evidence of how hard you need to study for your final.

A look at the reasons online publishers and ad networks get rejected by media planners.
Media planners and buyers (like ClickZ columnists) constantly receive pitches from online publishers and ad networks, trying to draw attention to this special feature or reason why we should consider using them. Truthfully, these pitches aren't unwelcome as the Web contains so many niche sites, new technologies, and new advertising formats that it's almost impossible to expect media people to know about them all on their own.
Pitching also shows assertiveness on the part of the publisher that the media planner likes to see: you actually want our media money. This might sound a little oxymoronic, but sometimes we media planners want to include a publisher on our plan only to not receive any response to our RFP or inquiries.
A survey I ran in 2005 found that, among other things, half of online media buyers don't like media reps. Though I don't have any updated stats, there still isn't a perfect system. Media planners, charged with meeting particular client objectives, do their best to create effective online media plans that may not include publishers for a variety of reasons.
The Reasons
Some of the reasons publishers get rejected from a plan are make-or-break issues; other reasons come down to a judgment call on the part of the media planner.
Good Publishers
Of course, many publishers and ad networks fall into the positive camp. Good publishers treat the media planner as a partner and seek a strong relationship. They tell you "Yes, we can figure out a way to do that" rather than a simple "No" more often than not. They bring you beta ad testing opportunities. They share ad creative ideas that have worked well on their sites in the past. They give you full-service support, regardless of the size of your spend.
These same good publishers help your agency throughout the duration of your campaign. They monitor your campaign's performance and flag you even before you might notice something. They ask you about actions you're seeing on the backend of your campaign. They work with you to best optimize your buy, even if that means shifting around placements and impressions.
Good publishers want your media plan to succeed because they're smart enough to know that you'll be back to buy again. What this camp all shares in common is truly excellent customer service, flexibility, attentiveness to an advertiser's needs, a full-suite of all targeting capabilities, and good overall performance.
Although every media planner has their bias, some networks and sites we've found that tend to consistently step up to the plate are Yahoo, Google, Kontera, Orbitz, About.com, Disney Online, Discovery, iVillage, and WebMD. To them and those like them, we say thank you!

New York?
We have never been to New York City before. Can anyone tell us of a nice safe area to book a hotel and maybe be fairly close to the cruise ships. (Legend) I would like to visit Ellis Island but I'm not sure how far away that is also. Any New York City people out there with lots of information?

Ohio Governor's Police Panel Calls For More Oversight
A task force studying Ohio police and community relations has narrowed down list of potential recommendations.
Listen to the Story
Classes are expected to resume Tuesday at Westland High School after the school was evacuated this morning following a mysterious odor that sickened multiple students and teachers.
South-Western City Schools spokeswoman Sandy Nekoloff said the Prairie Township Fire Department was called when some teachers and students became nauseated and dizzy after complaining of an unknown odor in a classroom.
"My understanding is that it was just an odor, and it was determined by the fire department it is an airborne irritant," Nekoloff said.
Prairie Township Fire Chief Steve Feustel said the department still is investigating the source of the irritant.
"There's nothing that was spilled, there's no powder or anything on the floors…and so it leaves on;y one recourse and that is that because the way it spread through the school it was airborne," Feustel said.
Thirteen students and teachers were taken to local emergency rooms, although none was admitted to the hospital. All have been treated and released.

There is so much I want to tell about the wedding of Charles and Giulia. The guys live in Belgium, but decided to celebrate their wedding in the native town of the bride. The preparations of the groom and the banquet took place in a medieval castle and monastery Monastero Fortezza di Santo Spirito d'Ocre, which is located in the province of L'Aquila, in the Italian region of Abruzzo.

The wedding of Timur and Anna in Sicily could win in the category "the most stylish and brilliant wedding 2014 in Italy". This admiration of mine should not surprise you as there was a whole team of professionals who came from Russia to take care of the aesthetic side of the wedding.
Within an hour's drive from Milan, hidden between the hills and vineyards there is a small town Mornico Losana, which is home to just over 700 people. Above the town stands the castle of the XII century, which has everything necessary for a wedding: cozy rooms for the preparations of the bride and groom, fine locations and interiors for shooting, a spacious and well-equipped banquet hall. So it is not surprising that Paolo and Alina decided to get married there.
The wedding of Chiara and Marco took place in the small town of Mosciano Sant'Angelo, which is located in the region of Abruzzo between the peaks of Gran Sasso and the Adriatic coast.
A walk through Rome with young couples during their honeymoon is always different from any other stroll in a city. The couple in love leaves behind all the wedding fuss and the tension is replaced by euphoria. Emotions are very difficult to hide in such moments, and the couple creates a special vibe that literally storms into the frame.

This is also strikingly complex and spicier as well with a broad ranging nose of dried rose petal, lavender, cassis, black cherry and plum that is trimmed in notes of sandalwood and cinnamon. There is excellent focus and punch to the mineral-inflected and seductively textured middle weight flavors that possess excellent verve and a real sense of harmony on the gorgeously persistent finish. Very classy juice.

Hearth Size...
LogsRUsFebruary 27, 2005
Is there a standard width for a hearth. Would 12" be adequate. We are looking at the Xtrodinaire Direct-Vent gas 36 or 44 and the difference in the depth of the box size is about 4". If we go with the 44, thaen I definitely think a 12' hearth would be enough as I don't want it this fireplace to take over the whole room. By the way, this a new house.

Investigators in New York City are ripping up the basement of an apartment building in hopes of solving a decades-old mystery: What happened to 6-year-old Etan Patz? The first-grader was walking alone to his school bus stop when he disappeared. Melissa Block talks to journalist Lisa Cohen, author of After Etan: The Missing Child Case that Held America Captive.

Menacing voice from 'The Force Awakens' trailer is Andy Serkis
The Force Awakens' trailer aroused many a big question when it dropped yesterday. One of the biggest questions was regarding the identity of the menacing, mysterious, murky narrator. Just who the fuck was it? Well, I've done some sleuthing. Some serious research. And I've figured it out. By uh, waiting for every other legitimate site do t legwork for me.
HBO's sci-fi western 'Westworld' dropping in 2015; got dope cast
HBO is throwing some serious weight behind its upcoming sci-western, Westworld. It's got itself a serious fucking cast, big name creatives behind the project (Johnny Nolan, Abrams), and an order for a full season. And if that ain't enough, it's got itself a weird viral marketing campaign. Which goes together with J.J. Abrams like peas and poorly-executed mystery box reveals.
Watch: Blizzard reveals 'Overwatch', team-based multiplayer shooter. Wit heroics and such.
Okay, Blizzard. You got my attention. I was waving used toilet paper dismissively in the way of this year's Blizzcon. But then you dropped this dope reveal. Overwatch. A team-based multiplayer shooter with pizazz, elements from the cancelled MMO Titan, and heroics and shit.
Details and a trailer after the jump.
'Episode VII' Title Revealed: 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'
I wish you could understand how much finding out the official title for Episode VII means to me. I am a Star Wars dick-lord fawning fanboy. Who never thought he'd seen another Star Wars, let alone one which may actually be good. It ain't even about the title itself. It's the function the title serves. An obvious reminder that gets my balls a-twitter. This movie is real.
Nicolas Winding Refn announces 'The Neon Demon.' Let's do this.
Ryan Gosling's cinematic Best Friend is getting ready to begin filming his next jam. It's a female-led horror flick called The Neon Demon. Don't worry, Nicky. I got the tagline for this shit. "From Neon Noir to the NEON DEMON comes the new film from Ryan Gosling's Cinematic Best Friend!!!" I'm pretty much a genius marketer.
Wacom dropping free digital anthology feat: Doyle, Farinas, Milonogiannis, and more
Pretty fucking killer. That artistic tablet company place, Wacom, is dropping a free digital anthology. Usually I'm all like "Free?!" and then I don't get excited because I only feel validated when I spend my hard earned Imperial credits. But fuck. Wacom has stacked the deck with some filthy talent on this giveaway.
Brian Wood taking over 'Spawn' with 250th issue with Jonboy Meyers on art.
I haven't enjoyed (or more specifically, read) Spawn for like…half a lifetime. Literally. I'm thirty-one. I fucking worshipped it when I was probably fifteen. But man. When I loved that comic, I fucking *loved* it. Same goes for Sam and Twitch when Bendis was penning it. But yeah. Like. Half a life has passed and the question has been, "what could ever get me to read the title again?" I've found the answer. Brian Wood.
Rumor: Fox is developing 'X-Men' live-action TV show
I'm there. I'm there. I'm comic book-adaptation'd out. (Of course I'm exempting the Marvel Studios shit from this fatigue. Because: fanboy.) I mean Fox is developing an X-Men TV show and I can't seem to give a fuck.
'Fantastic Four' comic ending; totally not out of corporate vindictiveness
A summer rumor has become an autumn fact. Fantastic Four is getting cancelled, taking the First Family out of the Marvel Universe. The rumor had it that Marvel was doing so in order to malign Fox, who owns the movie rights over them. And while I imagine The Foursome will return (conveniently after the movie push is over), this is forty-four shades of fucking dumb.
Mondo dropping collectible vinyl of 'Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1′
Man! I don't have a fucking record player! Which I know totally cuts me down like three-thousand points in some people's eyes. SORRY BRO, I'M CYBERNETIC. I LISTEN TO MY DEATH METAL THROUGH A ZUNE I HAVE HAD IMPLANTED IN THE UPPER CORNERS OF MY ANUS. CO-ANUS-IAL CABLE. Oh God I hate myself. What the fuck am I even saying? Uh — right.
Anyways. Mondo is continuing to release dope-ass collectible comic book vinyls, this time with an Awesome Mix.

The cost of living continues to go up and incomes continue to go down. It is truly frightening to think about what this country is going to look like if current trends continue.
Poverty & Social Inequality
While Wall Street exerts a decisive influence on policy and legislation pertaining to the government shutdown, these same major financial institutions also control the movement of currency markets, commodity and stock markets through large scale operations in derivative trade.
Several overlapping political and economic agendas are unfolding. Is the shutdown –implying the furloughing of tens of thousands of public employees– a dress rehearsal for the eventual privatization of important components of the federal State system?
Hundreds of poor people waiting outside of a closed grocery store for the possibility of getting the remaining food is not the picture of the "American Dream." Yet on March 23, outside the Laney Walker Supermarket in Augusta, Ga., that is exactly what happened.

Staying by Laura was a wonderfull experience. She is not only a good host, she is completely friendly. She knows a lot of things about Dublin and she can suggest you how to go, how to eat and a lot of lovely places to hear beautiful folk music and real irish pubs where you can find amazing beers!
Her flat is very clean and well organized, well positioned ( close to the centre and well connected to the airport) and the room is very comfortable.
Our irish vacation was a great good suprise!
We totally recommend!!
Laura is a great host! We had a good chat with her and she gave us some cool advice where to go for a drink and dinner. I would totally stay with her again!
Laura nous a réservé un accueil très sympa et décontracté autour d'un verre de vin rouge. Nous avons ainsi eu l'occasion de faire connaissance et de recevoir de sa part de bons plans resto et bars pour profiter de notre soirée en ville. La chambre est très bien et la petite maison typique bien située entre l'aéroport et le centre (accessible en 20 minutes à pied). à conseiller !
Laura is a love!!! She welcomed me into your home with open arms and a cup of coffee! She helped me organize my day, she is very friendly and biased. The house is beautiful with all the amenities, I really felt comfortable. Hope to see Laura again, I would return to go!
We only stayed the one night but it was a very pleasant experience. Laura is a lovely and friendly host. We would definitely stay again!
Laura made us feel so very welcome at her home in Dublin. She was kind and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay.
Laura also had some great pro-tips for places to go and see around Dublin! Her tip of "Eddie Rockets" (a burger joint) was amazing, and made our whole trip to Ireland worth while!
We can't rate Laura highly enough! Thanks Laura for making our stay in Dublin amazing!!
Hello I am Laura from Ireland. I have great knowledge of events, music, theatre, pubs, restaurants and things to do in Ireland. I am friendly outgoing and hope you enjoy your stay at my home. Great coffee here.

Final step, call it toasted and done.
Of course, the Senior Management make a profit at each step- clown shoes flapping all the way to the bank.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
They followed this up by closing down their most productive R& D sites globally.
Vast personal profit for the execs, decades of experienced researchers tossed to the wind, and their "if we screened X million candidates with this robotic platform and got N useful hits, if we screen X^5 million via robotic screen we'll get N^5 final candidates and reap the rewards" strategy didn't work worth a darn. Big surprise.
That's what happens when suits (some hired from companies with a GREAT track record for drug development- like.... McDonalds) take over a scientific company.
A few more rounds of boosting stock price via layoffs and this will be a little has-been of a company.
Nice work there guys. Way to destroy a company. You could have done the same thing by just buying a pizza chain or something and selling off assets for personal gain, and not cost the real human race useful medications.

Morgan was caught up by the music, immersed in the heavy atmosphere at the bottom and craving the thin, heady air that waited at the top. He was drowning in the deep, hypnotic patterns of the rhythm, knowing that his heart beat in time to the never-ending guitars and twin fiddles that played in his head.
But Morgan knew something that most of the others hadn't learned yet. The neon rainbow was real, and Morgan had been chasing its glimmer for years, always a day late and a dollar short.
But that was about to change.

A warehouse material handler is part of a team performing several functions necessary to maintain a well-organized warehouse. On the shipping side of warehouse operations, the material handler receives orders and uses a forklift to retrieve pallets for order fulfillment. After the pallet is retrieved, the material handler places it in a shipping area so it can be loaded onto a truck for shipment. Then, the material handler updates the company system to indicate that the shipment is in progress.Read More...
One key task for the warehouse material handler is helping move merchandise off shipping trucks and into the warehouse. First, the materials handler interacts with the truck driver and the warehouse system to confirm what merchandise should be offloaded; during this process, the material handler also notes any deviations from the intended shipment and makes a record in the warehouse's tracking program. After handling paperwork for merchandise receipt, the material handler starts offloading the truck, a process that may be accomplished with electronic dollies or a forklift. After the merchandise has been offloaded, the material handler builds, secures, and labels pallets. The material handler then uses a forklift to lift the pallet, drive it to a storage location, and make a record in the warehouse system for the location of the pallet so that it can be easily retrieved.
Warehouse material handler positions may require a high school diploma or equivalent. Previous experience in a warehouse environment may be preferred.

Though some Warehouse Material Handlers move into positions like Operations Manager (where the average salary is $58K), this progression is not the norm. Warehouse Material Handlers typically move into roles as Warehouse Supervisors or Warehouse Managers, and those positions pay $12K more and $13K more, respectively.
Warehouse Material Handlers who responded to the survey report just a handful of professional skills. Inventory Management and Inventory Control are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay by 5 percent and 5 percent, respectively. For most people, competency in Inventory Control indicates knowledge of Inventory Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Warehouse Material Handlers, experience does not seem to be a major factor in determining pay. The average inexperienced worker earns $26K, and someone who has worked for five to 10 years can expect a bigger median salary of $29K. Warehouse Material Handlers who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $32K. Folks who have racked up more than 20 years in the field report incomes that aren't that much higher than less experienced individuals' earnings; the veterans make just $34K on average.

Featured Golf Course Review:
|Buffalo Golf Course -- Nice course, must play if nearby
|Review by: Egbert Norberg
|This course has great view of the Bighorn moutains. Challenging par 3's, lots of trees and they are adding 9 sand traps this year. Great greens and irrigation ditch through course makes some tough drives and placements. Hole #4 is the best par 3 in the state,according to poll taken in state.
|From Casper, WY USA
Golf Courses: Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Renegade Golf Course -- Scenic, challenging course in excellent condition.
|Review by: Randy from Chicago
|"Really neat layout with fantastic views. New owners are making many improvements to a great little venue and challenging course. Super value. The only drawbacks are lack of bar and restaurant but the views and course conditioning easily make up for that. Definitely worth a stop for a day or two if you are in Western Wyoming

Do we have anyone with an account that is willing to help us out with the purchase?
I've located someone in the group who has a N Country account and who is willing to place the order for us. Now we need to decide (1) who will handle the cash and, (2) find a business shipping address with a loading dock or fork lift to receive the order.
Regarding #1 - I'm willing and have a PayPal acct, but am unfamiliar with processing $ between individuals. If someone else would like to handle this it's fine with me.
Regarding #2 - I have a friend locally (Pittsfield, MA) with the necessary shipping address & etc., but this location may not be convenient to everyone else.
I'm open to any suggestions.
What say you?
Frank (godrick)
I say woot woot!
I will be away in Germany for Oktoberfest, so I hope I don't miss out. I will be checking my email daily and should be able to transfer money as well, but if this happens fast, I would need someone to hold my sack.
I'm happy with wherever there is a pickup! Usually there are some great people who can take a few extra bags for people and meet in a mutually convienent location. Hopefully that will happen for us to help everyone out. Unfortunately, I have a little car so I can't help.
I will be busy from tonight until I land on Thursday, but I am absolutely in. Conunt me for 2 bags of US 2row.
Kegged - empty!
Bottled - 30th birthday barleywine, caramel gingerbread quad, doppelbock dunkel, Caramel Quad/RUMCAKE, Diastasis (Wild Rice Saison), Cider
Primary - Lambic!, Dopplebock/Eisbock
US 2-row, 2 bags would be my interest. Please let me know how it works, never did group buy.
So far:
Godrick - 6
NuclearRich - ?
7tom - 2
I am in for 3 bags.
If it helps speed this along and would help out some other members, I'm sure I could toss a few other peoples orders in the back of the truck and haul them back to central CT for pickup.
I'm in for 1 bag.
Sack of 2-row, sack of MO here.
3 sacks please.
