->''You can drink your fancy ales,\\
You can drink 'em by the flagon.\\
But the only brew for the brave and true,\\
Comes from the [[MyLocal Green Dragon!]]''

The [[EvilCounterpart heroic alternative]] of the BadGuyBar, the GoodGuyBar is a place where heroes and do-gooders go to unwind after hours. Since the heroes might normally be on different squads or teams, the Good Guy Bar allows heroes who don't normally meet to do so, whether to talk shop or simply commiserate with like-minded peers.
Unlike the BadGuyBar, a Good Guy Bar can come in a wide variety of forms, whether a stereotypical seedy dive (complete with [[BadGuysPlayPool pool hall]]), a posh nightclub or a five-star restaurant. The more elegant locations will be used when the author wants to emphasize (or otherwise play with) the virtuous nature of the heroes. If the GoodGuyBar spans time and space, it may double as an InnBetweenTheWorlds.
Many Good Guy Bars have an implicit agreement to allow villains to patronize, so long as they don't start trouble after all, tolerance is traditionally a heroic virtue. Such places ''will'' have a [[TruceZone strictly enforced neutrality agreement]] to keep everyone from fighting each other. The lowest form might be [[BadGuyBar Bad Guy Bars]] whose powerful proprietors enforce no-violence [[TruceZone Truce Zones]].
See YouAllMeetInAnInn for when this sort of establishment serves as the jumping-off point for an adventure. Subtrope to LocalHangout.
[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* ''Manga/BlackCat'' features [[BountyHunter sweeper]] bars where they can trade information on targets.
** Cat Eyes' Café in ''Manga/CityHunter'' and its sequel ''Manga/AngelHeart'', [[ShoutOut previously owned by Black Cat's protagonists]], becomes a main hangout and client meeting point in the series.
* In ''Manga/TheSevenDeadlySins'', the Boar Hat serves as the base of operations for Meliodas and the Seven Deadly Sins. It's actually a mobile home carried on the back of Hawk's mom, a giant green pig, essentially making it a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysontheTin literal Boar Hat]]. Incidentally since the Sins are criminals in the setting, it can be seen as a BadGuyBar from a different perspective.
* Agil of ''SwordArtOnline'' opens café in both MMO and real life counterparts which become the main characters' meeting spots. In videogame adaptations, his bar serves as the base and an inn.
[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' has two such locations:
** Bruiser's Bar & Grill is a rowdy place run by a retired superhero that serves beer, popcorn and a spirited atmosphere for superbeings who want to hang out and indulge in some good-natured roughhousing.
** Butlers is a super-secretive club whose clientele and employees are tightly screened. Regular dinner parties are held where heroes arrive in formalwear for tranquil evenings together.
*** Subverted in the story "Dinner at Eight"; when [[TheCape Samaritan]] and Winged Victory go out for dinner, they deliberately avoid established Good Guy Bars to get away from "shop talk". [[spoiler:They use their civilian identities and go to a [[BurgerFool burger joint]] instead.]]
* Clark's in the {{Wildstorm}} Universe; the {{Expy}} [[{{Superman}} owner]] won't serve anyone until they show secret ID.
** In the Wildstorm Universe, there's also the Wolfshead's Pub in London, where England's supernatural community like to meet. Superheroes are also welcome.
* ''CommonGrounds'' is a limited series named after a chain of coffee shops, where superheroes and supervillains meet in a neutral, non-confrontational manner.
* The Marvel UK ''[[ComicBook/TheTransformers Transformers Generation 1]]'' comic book series introduced Maccadam's Old Oil House, a place where Transformers of all allegiances could indulge in [[IncrediblyLamePun black-market lubricants]], gambling and gossip in (relative) peace. It has since appeared in every Transformers continuity in one form or another, culminating in an appearance in the TransformersAnimated ''cartoon''.
** It has a private room for dead Optimuses and Megatrons to hang out in during their dead time. They take turns using it, of course.
* When Guy Gardner from DCComics had his Vuldarian powers, he ran a superhero bar in New York called Warriors. After becoming a GreenLantern again, he relocated it to Oa as The Big W.
* Kadie's from SinCity. Not so much of a ''Good Guy Bar'' as it is an ''[[AntiHero Anti-Hero Bar]]'' since the main protagonists, Marv and Dwight, frequent the establishment. Not to mention that this is where a few major side characters work as well.
** Additionally, it's known as a well-behaved bar, a rarity for Sin City, and likely the safest place in the city, period. This is because [[SociopathicHero Marv]] really doesn't like it when someone bothers the girls.
* Time In A Bottle, the [[MyLocal British supers' pub]] in Creator/PaulCornell's ''Knight & Squire''. Merlin's [[TruceZone truce magic]] makes it a haven for heroes and villains. In the first issue an AntiHero disrupts the magic, leading to a BarBrawl.
** In the final issue [[spoiler: the heroes and villains work together to trick SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker into entering. The Truce Magic doesn't prevent you stripping someone of weapons. And ''then'' they turn it off...]]
* The Oblivion Bar caters to magic users and is featured prominently in ''ComicBook/{{Shadowpact}}'' as the team's headquarters since the owner of the bar is one of its members. While the Bar allows anyone from angels to demons entry, neutrality is ''strongly'' encouraged. It helps that the bartender can telekinetically choke anyone who causes trouble.
* In the prologue to Batman:TheDarkKnightReturns, many of the now-retired superheroes gather at an underground bar to reminisce about old adventures (MartianManhunter is the bartender).
* The Fourth Relaunch of the IDW Transformers Series uses this quite often. Bars are a positive place which seem to represent a social gathering free from all the millennium long conflict. Swerve opens one in ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye, wherein all the bots come together on the Lost Light to drink and get together. He even has the whole place armed after Whirl had a tantrum. Burr opens up a bar on Cybertron in ComicBook/TransformersRobotsInDisguise and in spite of the heated tensions between the Autobots Neutrals and Decepticons, they can all come here to chat and throw back some engex. When the anarchy sets in a few Bots, Cons and Neutrals all hole up to wait out the conflict. In ComicBook/TransformersDarkCybertron: When there's a lull in the action, all the active Duty Decepticons and Autobots come together get drunk and start singing old war songs, when earlier they were shooting at each other. Blurr's bar carries over to ComicBook/TransformersWindblade wherein all people from all factions still frequent it.
[[folder:Fan Fiction]]
* ''FanFic/ThisTimeRound'', the Series/DoctorWho [[InnBetweenTheWorlds pub outside continuity]], a meeting place for everything in the Series/DoctorWho ExpandedUniverse -- and every canon they've crossed over with.
* Tapper's Tavern in ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf''.
* ''The Shady Trough'' in ''FanFic/DiariesOfAMadman'' is one for the Night Guard.
* ''Rick's Cafe Americain'' in {{Casablanca}}. It is also a BadGuyBar. Because ''everybody'' goes to Ricks.
* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' has the Terminal Station Bar, sort of.
** The Ink and Paint Club might also qualify.
* The Green Dragon in ''LordOfTheRings.''
* The Franchise/StarTrekNovelVerse "Captain's Table" novels use one as a framing device; the Captain's Table is an InnBetweenTheWorlds that only captains (of any type of vessel) are able to enter. Drinks are "paid" by having the captain tell a story to the other patrons.
* ''{{Sten}}'' has The Western Eating Parlor II, which is a ShoutOut to the clandestine savvy.
* Not a bar, per se, but Literature/HonorHarrington loves to take her crew to dine at Dempsy's. Though she usually foots the bill, as it is possibly the most expensive restaurant in the universe.
* The Ace of Trumps from ''WildCards''.
** And, up to the Ti Malice arc, the Aces High restaurant.
* The Bucket, the unofficial pub of the City Watch in ''Literature/{{Discworld}}''. Being coppers, the Watch prefers to ''avoid'' shop talk there, giving Mr. Cheese the quietest patrons on the Disc. Indeed, robbing the Bucket (especially when Angua is present) is legally classified as [[TheCoronerDothProtestTooMuch attempted suicide]].
* [=McAnally's=] Pub in ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', which caters to both sides equally. The 'peaceful' side of things is enforced by it being a truce zone under Fae law. While ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' ''does'' have twinkly-wee Tinkerbell-type faerie, Fae law is written and enforced by the Queens. As in, Mab and Titania. Yes, ''them''. Annoying them is NOT a good idea.
** In fact, the only reason this example can apply for this trope at all is that Harry Dresden has killed most of the bad guys who might go to [=McAnally's=]. Nearly every time he goes there, Harry notes that there are a lot of ways to mess with someone that don't break said truce, and that he almost often sits with his back to the wall.
* ''[[Literature/CallahansCrosstimeSaloon Callahan's Place]]'', the focus of multiple novels, allows bad guys in as long as they behave themselves. Lady Callahan's place, which includes a bar and a lot more, has the same policy but it doesn't work out that way at all.
* The vampire bar "The Raven" in the Toronto of ''Series/ForeverKnight''. It's a neutral zone and a goth haven.
* Talisman in ''Literature/TheDeltaDrifters''. Lucia's friends and co-workers are seen playing poker there in the first chapter.
* Milliways, ''Literature/TheRestaurantAtTheEndOfTheUniverse''. It's also implied that the Big Bang Burger Bar at the other "end" of the universe is one as well.
* The Draco Tavern, which appears in several Creator/LarryNiven short stories.
** whether the Draco Tavern counts as a GoodGuyBar is questionable at best. Most of the alien races are there for their own purposes.
%% Zero-contex examples:
%%* ''Literature/HarryPotter''
%%** The Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade.
%%** Also the Leaky Cauldron.
* The Hole In The Wall tavern in ''Literature/SeptimusHeap'', where several meetings of the characters occur.
* The Inn in Longfellow's ''Tales of a Wayside Inn'' poetry collection where the characters gather to tell tales.
[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* The British sitcom ''NoHeroics'' takes place in The Fortress, a superhero bar with three rules: "No Masks, No Powers and No Heroics". The show also mentions The Stronghold, a Bad Guy Bar equivalent.
* The Road House in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' is a place where the good guys meet; given the ambiguous morals of the protagonists, it might be closer to a Bad Guy Bar instead.
* ''TheWire'' has Kavanagh's, the bar where [=McNulty=] and Bunk regularly go to drink, and where the Irish wakes are held. Based on a real Baltimore pub.
* Caritas on ''Series/{{Angel}}'' caters to good, evil and neutral folks alike, be they human or non-human. Popular for the drinks and the [[ItMakesSenseInContext psychic karaoke.]] It had magical protection to enforce neutrality; no demon (non-human, including vampires) could perform an act of violence without the sanctuary spell knocking them on their ass first. Unfortunately, [[spoiler: a demon-hunting gang of humans realized it didn't work on ''humans'']]. After that loophole was closed, [[spoiler:Holtz realized that it didn't prevent you from kicking an explosive barrel down the stairs into the bar.]].
* The Waterfront Bar in ''HomicideLifeOnTheStreet,'' which was also the staff hangout.
* The ''King Kamehameha Club'' in ''Series/MagnumPI''
* The Railway Arms, for ''Series/{{Life On Mars|2006}}'' and Luigi's, for ''AshesToAshes''.
** In the finale of ''AshesToAshes'', [[spoiler: the Railway Arms is a ''really'' good guy bar - it's the gateway to {{Heaven}}]].
* Another example is the bar Sam Beckett finds himself in during the last episode of ''Series/QuantumLeap''.
* In ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'':
** Quark's bar, though it was more of a neutral location.
** Near the end of the series, the Holosuite ran Vic Fontaine's Las Vegas Lounge [[UniversalUniverseTime 26 hours a day]]
* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' has Ten Forward
* In ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'':
** The Mess Hall was the equivalent of TNG's Ten Forward, though Tom Paris would go on to create many recurring holographic bars over the years.
** Chez Sandrine was a recurring holodeck recreation of a bar in Marseille which was the first of many holographic Good Guy Bars
** Early on in the series, a Polynesian resort was used as the Good Guy Bar in several episodes
** Later into the series, the holodeck representation of Sullivan's pub in the Irish town of Fair Haven ran 24/7
* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' had the Angel Grove Juice Bar for the first few seasons, and many of the later seasons had a similar equivalent. This trope is also sometimes used in ''Franchise/SuperSentai'', such as the "Dinosaur Curry Bar" in ''Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger''. It's become a minor RunningGag for team-up movies to mention the curry house, suggesting there's at least one Ranger / ally on every show who's visited it.
* [=McRory's=] pub used to be Nate's father's office. Now it's where ''Series/{{Leverage}}'' Consulting and Associates meet their clients.
* Danny's from ''{{Quincy}}''.
* ''Series/RookieBlue'' has The Black Penny, where all the cops hide out after each episode.
* The German series ''Series/Raumpatrouille'' series has the Starlight Casino, where fleet and GSD personell of all ranks congregate to chat, flirt, talk shop and [[FutureMusic dance in some very odd "futuristic" dances]]. The ''Orion'' crew can usually be found here off-duty and has a fleet-wide reputation for its alcohol intake. The Starlight has a glass roof through which you can see the tropical fish in the sea above.
* ''TalesOfTheGoldMonkey'' has the titular Gold Monkey Bar, which also served at various times as the LocalHangout, BadGuyBar, and/or WretchedHive.
* Several establishments on ''Series/BabylonFive'', most notably Earhart's (reserved for [=EarthForce=] personnel and their guests), the Eclipse Cafe (part of The Zoccalo, the station's marketplace), and the Fresh Air Cafe (a fancy restaurant).
* P3 in ''Series/{{Charmed}}'', a nightclub owned by the protagonists. Often episodes will end with a scene of the sisters unwinding from their latest demon-hunting exploits.
[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* ''Brubecks'' in {{Traveller}}.
** In the volume ''Sword Worlds'' it describes soldier's clubs in which [[ProudWarriorRace Sword Worlder]] humans and [[ProudWarriorRace Aslan]] in [[MyMasterRightOrWrong Darrian service]] meet and tell yarns. The two groups come from states that tend to end up on [[FriendlyEnemy opposing sides]] but when there is no war on, they often meet and mingle.
* "Chez Régis" in ''TabletopGame/InNomine Satanis''/''Magna Veritas'', where angels and demons can drink without fighting each other.
* The World Serpent Inn mentioned in several ''ForgottenRealms'' {{sourcebook}}s was built in its own demiplane by an archmage from [[ForgottenRealms Toril]], [[{{Spelljammer}} Arcane]] and [[{{Cthulhumanoid}} Illithid]] as a [[TruceZone neutral ground]] when Sigil turned out to be too violent and inconvenient for quiet business and rest. Not only is it connected to many worlds, but (unlike Sigil) is accessible to powers, and some gods visit it to relax and chat with creatures they deem interesting. It's a GoodGuyBar since no one wants to annoy peacefully grazing deities, and some clients in a common room ''can'' turn out to be gods on a tea-break. And even if there aren't any, TheBartender is an avatar himself -- if some god just likes to meet new people and thinks it's funny, why not?
** In the ForgottenRealms setting, the Old Skull Inn in Shadowdale is one of the most famous pubs in Toril; it's known for the honesty of its staff, and many groups of legendary heroes got their start here. Elminster himself, Shadowdale's most famous resident, has been seen here occasionally.
* The ''TabletopGame/{{Champions}}'' setting traditionally has Sanctuary, an entire fancy club for superheroes turned full-blown independent island resort after an edition change and the destruction of the original facilities. Supervillains can be members [[TruceZone as long as they behave themselves on the club grounds]] and even find a measure of refuge there (as can ''heroes'' in trouble with the law, which is how the policy originally came about); Sanctuary itself doesn't condone super-crime, but is {{genre savvy}} enough to acknowledge that things may always be more complicated than they appear at first glance.
* The Inn of the Last Home in ''Literature/{{Dragonlance}}'', later on run by two Heroes of the Lance and their descendants.
[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' has Pocket D, [[InnBetweenTheWorlds an extradimensional club]] where heroes, villains, and regular people can all go and hang out sort of a demilitarized zone, a la ''Casablanca''. It's part tiki bar, part casino, part rave and part handy cross-town teleport station, among other things. It even features a miniature ski resort during the holiday season.
* Telma's Bar in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess''. Inside are a bunch of hapless soldiers that stand around all day doing nothing but also LaResistance meets up there and offers advice to Link.
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' has a number of neutral locations.
** Goldshire, on the Alliance side, is the place to be if you want to be retarded without smelling wet tauren.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has one of these in each of its main cities, doubling as the local AdventurersGuild. It's the first place you go after finishing the introductory cutscene.
* ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'' has a few; a hidden one in the bowels of Pirate Isle, the tavern on Sailors Island but the best one is when you can build your own on Crescent Isle and find your own crew just chilling out.
* Spinda's Cafe from ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon Explorers of Sky''.
* ''VideoGame/StarcraftII'' The cantina on the Hyperion, complete with an arcade machine and a jukebox hanging from the ceiling. Raynor is in another bar in the beginning on Mar Sara and it looks like said bar is actually ''his headquarters.'' Of course, since he has only a handful of troops on-world and his staff is literally a holographic head in a box, he doesn't need much.
* Each of the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' games has at least one of these. ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'' has the Embassy Bar and Flux (contrast with Chora's Den), ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' has Eternity on Illium and the Dark Star on the Citadel (contrast with Afterlife on Omega), and ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' has Purgatory (this time with no BadGuyBar equivalent). True to the "letting villains in" part of the trope, Purgatory ends up being [[spoiler:the new "home" of Aria T'Loak, now-former pirate queen of Omega]]. She finds it "too uptight" for her tastes.
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' has Kirkwall's infamous tavern "The Hanged Man" as the local watering-hole of the main characters, but also caters to pirates, mercenaries, raiders... really depends whoever is in that night.
** Really, the Hanged Man is not so much a GoodGuyBar or a BadGuyBar as it is [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Accorded Neutral Territory]]; a place where anyone, regardless of legal or moral standing, can go to relax. Guardsmen and criminals alike drink there, and not many fights break out. Well, one or two, but they're started by either outsiders or [[TooDumbToLive idiots]].
* The unnamed bar in Sony's live-action "Michael" commercial, where both heroes and villains who have appeared on the [[{{Playstation3}} Playstation 3]] hang out and talk about how the player of their games (Michael) helped them in their adventures.
** This bar reappears in "The All-Star," an advertisement for ''VideoGame/PlaystationAllStarsBattleRoyale'', showing that the bar hosts battles between its patrons, with one between [[VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} Nathan Drake]], [[VideoGame/{{inFAMOUS}} Cole MacGrath]], [[VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet Sackboy]], and [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]] being the focus.
* ''Webcomic/{{Bard}}'' takes place in such a bar. It's of the type that allows villainous people to patronize, so long as they don't start a fight...which unfortunately happens more often than the staff would like. It's a good thing they hired a [[OurCentaursAreDifferent centaurian]] nocturn for a bouncer.
* Ridley's Bar from ''PlanetZebeth''.
* ''The Cross Time Cafe'' webcomic exists to let webcomic characters meet up outside their own continuity.
* God and Satan are patrons in ''MandatoryRollerCoaster''
[[folder:Web Originals]]
* Parodied by [[ImAMarvelAndImADC Its Just Some Random Guy.]] There are two bars. [[StanLee Stan's]] for the heroes and an unnamed bar for the villains.
* The Red Turtle in ''FanFic/TheReturn'', well protagonist's bar since it is a GreyAndGrayMorality series.
* [[WebAnimation/HowItShouldHaveEnded How It Should Have Ended]] has the Super Cafe and the Villain's Pub.
* In ''Literature/StarHarborNights" one of the main characters is taken to one by a fellow superhero,[[spoiler: after fleeing from a burning church.]]
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''Disney's HouseOfMouse'' is a G-rated version. It also lets in villains, so long as they refrain from any villainy.
* The Comet Club from the animated version of ''TheTick''.
* "Louie's" from ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin''. Gains extra awesome points for being a giant tree on a tiny island, accessible only by seaplane.
* In ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'', the Winx and Specialists hang out in the Frutti Music Bar in season 4-5.
* The Weenie Hut from ''SpongeBobSquarePants''
** The Krusty Krab tends to be a regular gathering place for everyone besides Plankton.
* In ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', there's Lime Ricky's, a speakeasy that was opened after the adults made soda illegal for kids under the age of 13, complete with a soda-addicted villain named Mr. Fizz acting as an evil version of Eliot Ness. Numbuh Two beat his ass good, but whether they put him out of buisness for good isn't clear; one thing for certain: [[ContinuitySnarl Lime Ricky's was still in business in a later episode]].
[[folder:Real Life]]
* In WorldWarII Allied officers in North Africa would use Shepheard's Hotel for this purpose. The Royal Hawaiian did the same for American submariners in the Pacific; in fact the Comsubpac, Admiral Lockwood arranged to have it on reserve for the Navy as a way to be AFatherToHisMen.
* London Coffeehouses in the eighteenth century were places like this. Though they primarily served coffee rather than strong drink and thus were not bars in the strictest sense.
* Many large military installations will have bars nearby that are largely frequented by military personnel. Some places will have entire business districts set aside for doing business with them. Whether they are Good Guy Bars or {{Bad Guy Bar}}s will depend largely on your opinion of the military personnel, and how well or poorly they behave when out partying it up.

Federal Trade Commission Chairman Jon Liebowitz outlined a laissez-faire outlook on behavioral targeting, indicating he hopes industry, working with the Better Business Bureau, can do the job of making sure consumer choice is preserved. "So long as self-regulation is making forward progress, the FTC is not interested in regulating in this area," Liebowitz said. He described targeted ads as a win-win for consumers, advertisers and the Internet economy, so long as consumer protections are in place.

Emergency Phone Call
Not long ago, I arrested a man for public drunkenness. When I brought him to the stationhouse, the booking clerk asked the standard questions—name, address, phone number, etc. "Lastly," said the clerk, "who should we call in case of an emergency?"
Grinning and reeking of bourbon, the drunk slurred, "911."

Two Snohomish County legislators close out careers
That's because the 2014 session ended Thursday, no special session is looming and both of them are leaving office when their terms expire at the end of the year.
"I've really enjoyed this legislative session," said Hope, a Republican from Mill Creek. "I'm definitely happy I won't be having any more special sessions."
Roberts, a Lynnwood-area Democrat, departed on a high note. Her bill providing additional services to youth in foster care was the final legislation voted on by the state House.
"To me it's a gift," she said in what turned out to be a farewell floor speech. "I get to have the last word on the last day of my last session. It has been an incredible journey."
Roberts will step down after a decade representing the 21st Legislative district in south Snohomish County. It encompasses Edmonds and unincorporated areas abutting Lynnwood and south Everett, including Paine Field.
A former trustee for Edmonds Community College, she worked tirelessly on behalf of children, especially those in foster care and whose parents were behind bars. She also sought to expand treatment options for people with mental health and substance abuse problems rather then sent them jail.
Rep. Lillian Ortiz-Self, D-Mukilteo, lauded Roberts as a "champion for those who've been forgotten" and "a voice for the voiceless" during a House tribute to the retiring lawmaker last week.
Republican and Democratic lawmakers repeatedly applauded her passion and conviction for assisting children and families. They also praised her Karaoke skills and joked about her penchant for taking notes on every bill discussed in Democratic caucus meetings.
Rep. Tami Green, D-Lakewood, fought back tears as she spoke.
"She's not a flashy legislator. She didn't want to be honored today," Green said. "Her work here will be remembered mostly by the children she's helped."
Hope is completing his third term representing the 44th Legislative District which includes Mill Creek, Lake Stevens and Snohomish.
A former Seattle police officer, he now works as a financial adviser with Morgan Stanley.
A political moderate, he was the lone Republican supporter of a bill to require background checks on most private sales of handguns in 2013. A year earlier, following the murder of four Lakewood police officers, he sponsored the constitutional amendment passed by voters giving judges discretion to limit bail for the most dangerous repeat criminals.
But when the House paid him tribute last week, many mentioned the muscular Hope's acting aspirations and beefcake photos posted on his IMDB site.
"I've tried some of those poses," joked Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, who also represents the 44th District.
Dunshee, who defeated Hope in 2004 and 2006, praised him for becoming a partner on many pieces of legislation.
"You've been good for constituents. You've been good to work with," he said.
Hope did not introduce any bills in his final session, saying he was content to take it all in.
"I'm going to miss this," he said as he looked out on the House chamber. "It's an amazing place but I'm ready for a new chapter in life."

In a recently published study Norwegian researchers found that use of
paracetamol in the first trimester doubled the risk of development of
allergic rhinitis at the age of 10 for both boys and girls, and in girls
it increased the risk of allergy and asthma if used until the age of 6
The main author, Bakkeheim, states that the effect of Paracetamol is the
opposite of the effect of antioxydants, and that it therefore weakens
the body's ability to defend itself against oxydative stress.
International studies have shown that the risk of developing asthma,
hayfeverand eczema by the age of 6-7 years is tripled if children are
given paracetamol before they are one years of age. (Abcnyheter

Also the freeze survival instinct leads to lower levels of actual breathing.

Skating Strides / Shot Mechanics / Sauce / ETC.
What about a thread or threads where we post a quick video of us doing certain hockey related moves. Then we can have (hopefully) a more experienced or even instructor level person critique the movements in hopes that we can improve.
I have coached baseball for a number of years (pitchers specifically) and I find video to be the best tool to explain to an athlete what they can improve on. It works well for archery as well.
What does everyone think?

Select Local Merchants
YMCA of Metropolitan MilwaukeeRead MoreDedicated to fostering social change by bringing the community together, the YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee engages denizens through a host of activities, events, and educational programs. The organization's focus can be distilled into three parts, the first of which promotes the development of area youth via programs that help them realize their potential. Secondly, a commitment to bettering the community's health manifests itself in everything from group exercise classes to youth sports teams. Thirdly, YMCA volunteers take the reigns of social responsibility as they organize local initiatives that focus on empowering children with disabilities and promoting workplace wellness. Trained staffers also helm a variety of childcare programs that boost literacy and help develop skills, and the Y's Camps Matawa and Minikani grant city dwellers and runaway trees a much-needed reunion with nature.N885 Youth Camp RoadCampbellsport, WI US
Phantom FireworksRead MorePhantom Fireworks first burst onto the scene more than three decades ago. Today, the company lights up backyards of America from coast-to-coast with more than 1,200 permanent and temporary locations. Much like its products, Phantom?s employees frequently take to the skies. They travel around the globe in search of the industry's latest ground and aerial displays before returning home with rockets, missiles, fountains, and aerial repeaters. From there, an extensive in-house testing program takes over, checking each item's safety before it?s sold to the public. That testing program is just one of Phantom?s pillars of safety. The company also holds memberships with multiple pyrotechnics organizations, and it offers customers additional information about fireworks laws and history through its Fireworks University.6711 County Highway WAllenton, WI US
Z'Brows Waxing and Skincare StudioRead MoreZ'Brows Waxing and Skincare Studio grants guests a break from the everyday grind and the effects of aging. The studio's licensed aesthetician Kelly Gish slathers faces with botanical extracts and gently shapes brows using client-preferred methods. Gish also applies her artistic eye as she smoothes skin with facials, exfoliating chemical peels, and full-body waxing services powered by hand-selected spa products blended from botanicals, herbal extracts, and aromatherapy essential oils. To further encourage relaxation, Z'Brows' chic day spa is dimly lit by strings of soft, glowing lights. And for additional charm, the space is embellished with eclectic accents including a colorful mosaic bartop and zebra-print chairs that humbly accept their inability to change stripes.549 West Washington StreetWest Bend, WI US
Anytime Fitness MilwaukeeRead MoreAnytime Fitness, which boasts 2,398 clubs in North America, makes it easier for average folks to etch out time for exercise by doing one simple thing: staying open 24 hours a day for 365 days a year. As fitness seekers challenge themselves on cardio and Hammer Strength machines and hoist Iron Grip free weights in clean, well-stocked facilities, security monitoring ensures they?re safe and producing enough sweat to meet official government standards. Members can also ramp up their exercise regimens with the help of Anytime Fitness?s staff of personal trainers, who demonstrate moves and sling motivating tips. After workouts, guests can shower in the private restrooms or hop into one of the tanning booths available 24 hours a day.790 W Paradise Dr.West Bend, WI US
King Pin BowlRead MoreKing Pin Management of Wisconsin, Inc. nurtures and guides three restaurants and a dozen bowling centers all across Wisconsin, including King Pin Bowl. Their staff consultants and accountants track all these operations, tallying every penny while auditing employee performance. In addition, training instructors travel around to give employees refresher courses on proper workplace conduct, while menu developers help make restaurant offerings more taste bud-friendly. Not even pinsetters and floors escape the staff's attention?technicians comb every bowling lane and machine to root out faulty wiring and make sure new pin system computers know how to form a perfect triangle.1022 S Main St.West Bend, WI US
The Jail House RestaurantRead MoreFar from the bustle of the city, The Jail House Restaurant's historic farmhouse towers over surrounding cornfields and golden pastures. Dating back to 1845, the striking wooden edifice once housed a general store and tavern before being converted into the upscale steak house it is today. Inside, a logwood staircase leads to the dining room, surrounded by walls of rustic wood paneling. In the kitchen, grills sizzle with hearty new york strip steaks, prime rib, and seafood, along with a rotating selection of daily specials. Meanwhile, the staff of bartenders?renowned for their wit and trampolining skills?doles out fine wines and cocktails.897 Pleasant Valley Rd.West Bend, WI US

Oakland Won't Pay for New Raiders Stadium
Oakland officials say they will not contribute any taxpayer dollars toward building a new stadium for the Raiders, even if that means the team will move back to Los Angeles.
Although Raiders owner Mark Davis and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell have yet to receive an official response from either Oakland or Alameda County as to whether they would provide the $400 million necessary to keep the team in Oakland, recent statements by elected officials suggest the money may not be forthcoming, The San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Their reluctance seems to stem primarily from Oakland's previous experience with stadium subsidies, which were used to finance renovations of O.co Coliseum that helped lure the Raiders back to Oakland in 1995. The team had previously moved to Los Angeles in 1982 after Oakland refused to make stadium upgrades demanded by then-owner Al Davis.

Thanks guys!
The idea behind the illo is that this man has invested in a ship that turns out to be close to a wreck, so his future plans fall into the water. It's fairly straightforward. The magazine article is about ship investments that turn out bad.
I created it using 3ds Max and the V-Ray renderer for the subtle shadow colors, highlights and reflections. Used an orthographic view to get a parallel perspective in stead of the usual vanishing point perspective. I like that because it has an estranging effect and pleasantly forces me to approach the illustration composition in a graphic design fashion.
October 2nd, 2005 #11
Awesome! I love the soft, realistic rendering mixed with stylistic and simplistic design. Great job!!

Interesting design, although I do notice that the wood has some odd edges in a few places (the double lines).
Everything also looks very plastic, some textures would probably have made for some interesting surfaces, but I can understand that most of the focus was put on the shapes and design.

Chinese fisherman shot dead by S. Korean coastguard
Published on Oct 16, 2012 10:02 PM
SEOUL (AFP) - A Chinese fisherman died on Tuesday after being hit by a rubber bullet during a raid by South Korean coastguard commandos on illegal fishing in the Yellow Sea, officials said.
The 44-year-old was declared dead around 6pm local time (5pm Singapore time), hours after he was rushed by helicopter to a hospital in the south-western port of Mokpo, a coastguard spokesman said.
"We believe a rubber bullet hit his chest during a raid by coastguard commandos to stop illegal fishing," he said.
Some 30 Chinese boats were illegally fishing in South Korean waters near Hongdo island when a 3,000-tonne coastguard ship launched the operation, he said.

Students and educators in science, technology, engineering and math too often shy away from situations or challenges in which they stand a good chance of failing, writes Elizabeth Gerber, the Breed junior chair of design in the McCormick School of Engineering and School of Communication at Northwestern University. Gerber calls for more risk-taking, so students learn how to handle failure and develop perseverance. "As STEM professors, let's get back into the game and learn to fall again. Let's start class with stories of the epic failures that led to great successes in our field," she writes.

Pompeii Day Trip from Rome
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Pompeii Day Trip from Rome. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
long day but well worth it
Worked out really well. The guides and driver helped make the day. It was a 13 hour round trip but well worth it and not too much. We had 2 hours or so round Pompeii which was OK to see the main parts and more than get the feel of the place. You could spend a whole day there but considering the trip was from Rome and included Vesuvius it was a good agenda.
walking up Mount Vesuvius was a real thrill: the views, the clouds, the hugeness of it. Beautiful drive, the Bay of Naples is beautiful. Pompei very interesting.
Awesome. Our tour guides were extremely knowledgeable - not just about Pompeii but the entire area we travelled through to get there. They were humorous and very professional. They made the very lengthy excursion pass very quickly and enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Great and interesting tour of Pompeii, the best pizza I've ever eaten, and I can say I climbed an active volcano! Definitely worth the cost, which isn't expensive.
This was such a great day tour. The only disappointment was that the weather was a little cloudy, but climbing Vesuvius was still amazing. The tour of Pompeii showed all the highlights and the guide was really knowledgable.
Really good day. Excellent
outstanding trip-three very informative guides. this was very well done.
It would be hard to improve on this trip. Yes the day is long, but it was well planned and organized and the sites not to be missed. Accompanying Viator guides and local Pompeii guide were outstanding. One warning: The climb up Vesuvius can easily take longer than advertised.
Awesome tour from start to finish! We learned a great deal about the history, food/wine, people and geography of the area from our two professional tour guides Stefanie and Hector - Grazie! On site at Pompeii, Giorgio proudly echoed his Family roots as assistants to the archaeologists throughout the restorations. We really enjoyed the walk-through with him and this historical tour. All three guides have a wonderful sense of humour! Hector had us rolling in the bus aisles with his tips on crossing the streets in Rome, paying taxi fare/the drivers and ownership of our dinner table til we ask for the bill/how to ask for the bill if ignored. All could relate to what he was saying. Hilarious!
The pizza for lunch at Tiberious (included with tour) was frankly the best we ate while in Italy. It served us well for the Vesuvius climb! Grazie Antonnio for the amazing drive along some single lane hairpin curves up and down the mountain to the starting point of the climb. Phew! Spectacular view of the crater and the Gulf of Naples! Could even see the distant island of Capri.
It is a full day (7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.) and we highly recommend this tour!

It was a great trip. Worth the money spent. The guides Anna and Antoinelle (hope I got the name right) - were outstanding:knowledgeable; very passionate ; cheerful till the end. Their trip gives you the right amount of time at the venues. The bus was comfortable and their (break) stops were just right (good places and comfortable times)

Fantastic trip, very informative and entertaining as well!! Was very suitable for our two children too.
Amazing day trip. Bus took us as high up Mt Vesuvius as it was allowed. It was a 40 minute walk up a 14 degree slope with a number of stops to catch my breath. Able to look down into the crater and still see steam or smoke coming out. Then a 20 minute walk down to where the bus was waiting. A little leery knowing this is still considered an active volcano, although it last erupted in 1944.
The ruins of Pompeii are much bigger then expected. Imagine a city of 20,000 people buried! The stone streets have deep ruts worn in them from many years of wagon wheels. It all came into perspective when we stood in the main city square and saw Mt Vesuvius 7 miles away. Now I can imagine what happened!
My husband and I went on this tour back in April this year. It was one of our favourite tours we did in Europe. From the beginning when we met our guide Roberto was fabulous. There were 2 tour guides on the bus with us and they interacted with the all the people and provided a lot of knowledge about all the places we were passing. Pompeii was amazing, the history behind it is unbelievable and the fact that there are still so many remains after so long is crazy. After this we walked up the mount Vesuvius, luckily the weather was only just warm as it is a bit of a hike to get up to the top. but getting to the top is well worth it. The scenery overlooking Naples is breathtaking. This tour is definitely a must do when in Rome!
All I can say that this tour was worth every penny. Robert(o), our guide, was excellent not only with his knowledge but also looking after our every need.
Highly recommended.
Our tour guide, Mara, was highly knowledgeable and very friendly. She talked just the right amount on the bus trip. The meeting place in Rome was easy to find; no confusion like we had on a previous tour. The group was split into two so there were only 20 of us, which was great. We appreciated the half-way stop on the way to and from Naples. Vesuvius was awesome!! We had adequate time to walk up at our own pace. Lunch was great! And Pompeii was everything we had expected and more. Our local guide, Enrico, really brought past events to life for us. We HIGHLY recommend this tour!
Long bus ride to get there and back but the girls made it very enjoyable and informative, knew when to give us down time for a snooze. Their knowledge and tips on how to pick the best restaurant and cuisine were spot on, tried their tips, worked well!! The tour through Pompeii was exceptional made perfect by our guide "Enrico", his sharp, brilliant wit and knowledge of Pompeii were exceptional. Trip us Mt Vesuvius was challenging, sorry we didn't make it to the top but lots did. Had an excellent day, well worth it.
A fabulous time spent. Maximo n Elena had been such great guides throughout the tour. Thank you Maximo for giving detail information on churches in Rome too. Will definitely back for another visit!
This tour was amazing!
Brilliant day out. Climbing Mt Vesuvius was awesome. Spectacular views.
We had a great time on this trip. Although a very long day it was well worth it. We were given ample time for exploring at each stop and found our guide Antonella extremely helpful and informative. Our guide in Pompeii shared his extensive knowledge of the area as he guided us through the ruins of the city. At no time did we feel rushed and would definately recommend to others.
Merrick B
The tour was great. It was truly a highlight of our 2 week Italy trip with our two boys (6 and 9)
Well worth doing. Our tour guides Mike and Etre made a long day fun and entertaining.
Our tour guide Antoinella was wonderful full of interesting and funny stories the tour was a pleasure.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A woman who grew up in Idaho is one of four people who survived a plane crash in downtown Anchorage.
A Cessna 206 crashed in a busy business district during the Tuesday evening rush hour. A 5-year old boy died in the crash and four others were injured, authorities said.
Anchorage police confirmed late Tuesday 16-year-oldRachel Zientak from Texas was one of the injured passengers being transferred to a Seattle hospital. Also onboard were the pilot of the aircraft, 34-year-old Preston Cavner; his wife, 32-year-old Stacie Cavner; and their son, 2-year-old Hudson, police said. Authorities identified the 5-year-old who died as another son belonging to the couple, Myles Cavner.
Family members tell NewsChannel 7 that Stacie Cavner, formerly Stacie Julian, grew up in Cascade, Idaho, and attended Boise State University. Her parents still livein Cascadeand are on their way to visit their daughter ina Portland hospital.
Eyewitnesses say the planeclipped the roof of a motel and crashed in front of an unoccupied former car lot office,igniting a fire shortly after 5 p.m. Dozens of bystanders rushed to the plane, even asit became engulfed in flames, and pulled out the pilot, his wife, their 2-year-old son andthe 16-year-old girl, who is an employee of the family. Unfortunately, the couple's 5-year-old son was pinned inside and he did not survive.
Eyewitnesses say the response by strangers was incredible.
Everybody started running over to help and they had lifted up the wing of the plane and started pulling people out, said one witness. By that time, there were 30-40 people - there were a lot of people - running in to help out.
It was the citizens who did the work and pulled people out, said police Lt. Dave Parker.
Even though the crash happened on a busy street during peak rush hour, no vehicles were hit. No other injuries were reported.
It was red light and there were four lanes of traffic right here and it missed everybody, said one witness. It hit the parking lot and bounced into the house.
The single-engine plane was registered to Cavner and Julian Inc., a guide and outfitting business based in Port Alsworth, Alaska.
Police said the Cavners operate a lodge at Port Alsworth, Alaska, and Zientak was one of their employees.
Jennifer Rodi, a National Transportation Safety Board investigator, said it was too early to say what caused the crash. The aircraft went down after departing Merrill Field about a mile away.
Rodi said the four survivors were critically injured. However,Hunter Brosh,one of the motorists who jumped out of their cars to help get people out of the burning plane, said the girl onboard was able to unbuckle herself before she was helped out of the wreckage.
One witness, Adan Hernandez, said he was riding his bicycle when he heard the plane above him. The aircraft started to wobble before disappearing beyond the motel and making a thudding sound, said Hernandez, who took photos of the crash site. A small, cone-shaped piece of the aircraft landed in the motel's parking lot.
Brosh was driving to a guitar lesson and had stopped at a nearby intersection when he heard a loud noise behind him. He swung his head back as the plane slammed into the ground. People started to pour out of their cars and run to the aircraft.
Brosh said the plane burst into flames while those on board were still being extricated.
People starting running over with fire extinguishers. At one point, Brosh heard some of those helping exclaim, You're spraying on the baby.
A man and a woman onboard appeared very hurt, he said. The woman's mouth was full of blood and it appeared her teeth were knocked out, he said.
For Brosh, the experience was an adrenaline thing, he said, as he stood outside the yellow police tape used as a barricade.
I can't say I've ever helped people out of a burning plane, he said.

Morningside display to wax poetic
Luminarias brighten night for 30th year
- What: Morningside Luminarias display
- Where: Morningside Addition (enter at Ninth and Grant)
- When: At dusk Saturday and Sunday. The candles burn out in about two hours.
- Admission: Free
Morningside Addition residents will again line the streets with glowing luminarias Saturday and Sunday in celebration of one of Wichita Falls' longest-running neighborhood traditions.
Although some residents of the historically designated area reportedly have been placing luminarias — sand-weighted paper bags illuminated by candlelight — along the scenic Morningside Addition streets since the 1940s, Kris Warman, president of the Morningside Association, said this year marks the 30th anniversary of the event as an organized neighborhood activity.
The tradition of lighting paper bag lanterns during the holidays comes from states like New Mexico and Arizona and is based on Hispanic Christmas traditions.
"All the residents participate," Warman explained. "If someone is too old or out of town, we all just light each other's candles. We have never even seriously considered not doing it. It's a lot of work, but it's beautiful."
In choosing a date for setting out the display, Warman said the association officers usually try to coordinate the project so that it falls on the same weekend as the Wichita Falls Symphony Orchestra's Christmas concert, "So while people are out, they can swing by and see the luminaries."
If the chosen weekend is too windy or too wet, Warman said the group will postpone it until the next weekend.
"We try to have it on a weekend in early in December so we can arrange a later rain date," she said. "We'd be thrilled to be rained out this year because we need the rain so badly. But that's the downside of using paper sacks."
Warman explained that the Morningside Association provides the sand, and the neighbors get together Saturday morning to fold the sacks and fill them with sand.
"All the kids and homeowners get together and load the sacks up, put the candles in them and distribute them," she said. "Then at dusk we all go light the candles along the boulevard along Ninth Street, and then all through Morningside."
The Luminaria Display project, Warman said, helps encourage a sense of neighborhood pride and unity, and brings the residents together in a common cause.
"Some neighborhoods have block parties in the summer, but we have winter parties to get ready for this event," she said. "We keep up with each other that way. We have sack folding parties in each other's homes, then we have dinner and it's just a fun time."

Bing Cuts Itself a 10% Slice of the Search Pie
Bing has been gaining in popularity since it launched just before the summer and while Microsoft's share of the search market has slowly been creeping upward, it's finally hit a milestone of 10 percent.
CNet News cites a Nielson report released Monday that puts 10 percent of the search market in the bucket marked Bing. Of course, Google is still the king of the castle with 64 percent (an increase of 2.6 percent over July) and Yahoo! comes second with 16 percent (a decrease of 4.2 percent). However, Bing searches for August clocked in with 1.1 billion for the month of August, an increase of 22.1 percent over July, giving Microsoft a 10.7 percent share of the search market.
CNet reports that similar studies from the likes of ComScore also show an increase in Bing searches. Microsoft this week launched visual search for Bing, which shows users their search results in the form of a deck of pictures as opposed to just a page of hyperlinks.
Click here to see the full results of the Nielson report.

-8cruiseoveride , September 17, 2009 4:42 PMJust proves 10% of Internet users use the default search on IE.
9arson94 , September 17, 2009 4:50 PMDon't be so naive... Many people, as do I, use Bing because they like it better. Sure, some poeple use Bing because they're lazy or incompetent. But the same goes for Google users. Many google users use it because there friends recommended it, not because they like it better than the competition or have even tried the competition.
2sot010174 , September 17, 2009 4:51 PMI think that microsoft got an eraser, removed "live search" from the paper, and typed B-I-N-G. And that was that. Bing's accuracy is miles behind Google.
10% market share? What live did have then? I mean, all Windows PCs that got Ie7 installed came with Live search as default search engine.
my 2 cents.
3Anonymous , September 17, 2009 4:51 PMBing is a nice try to fight the monopoly of Google,
Though the company behind bing is as a monopolist as google is, so,
I find Google does a good job, and I have no complaints!
They require absolutely zero on money, searches are fairly accurate, and my page is not bloated with ads.
I find absolutely no reason to go over to Bling.
I tried it, and probably that's where they get their 10%, that many want to see.
But my bet is before next month, most users will return to google, unless like mentioned above, they absolutely don't know how to change their default search engine!
9jojesa , September 17, 2009 4:53 PMOnly 10%, even thought Bing is added "by default" when you install or upgrade to Internet Explorer 8.
By the way, think that 8% of that might be searching for pornography, since Bing's has "excellent" video search capabilities.
4M3d , September 17, 2009 5:01 PM^Did not know that. Thanks!
7danish_2828 , September 17, 2009 5:23 PMBing is not added by default when you upgrade to IE8. IE8 install ask you if you would like to change from your current default search provider. A person is then directed to a webpage to change their default. If a person was using Google and would like to change to Bing they would be able to so at this point. It's very common for certain store bought computers, such as Dells, to come with Google search bar which actually make Google the default search provider. The only reason I think Yahoo is as high as it is because of all the software that tries to install yahoo toolbar without really asking such as: Yahoo Messenger, and CCCleaner. We're even victims of the Google toolbar being slipstreamed of another install.
Even if IE8 install makes the default Bing, something else being installed after would be bound to make it either yahoo or google without little warning. Just like the infamous FOH (Fold at Home)that's slipstreamed into the AMD Catalyst install.
-1p05esto , September 17, 2009 5:29 PMBING is great, I havn't used Google in weeks. Google pisses me off in the same way "Apple" does as a company. One of these "it's so cool and hip to be us, wow we're great and Microsoft sucks..." I'd bet my business technology on MS products over Apple or Google any day of the week. I don't want flavor of the day.
2Herbert_HA , September 17, 2009 5:32 PMI've been trying it and so far I don't like it. Failed to give good search results for obvious questions, like when I searched for the Lord of the Rings Online (Lotro) or Free Freehand. I did both searches with Google and the correct pages where the first ones to appear.
I'm still gonna use it for some time to be sure, but I guess I'm not going to leave Google.
-1chaohsiangchen , September 17, 2009 5:37 PMBing is actually pretty good at certain type of search. Given the actual amount of the kind of search, Bing still have room to grow.
1Anonymous , September 17, 2009 5:40 PMdanish_2828:
It's true that if you had google set in IE7, IE8 will let you keep that setting if you skip past their configure, or go through the wizard.
But, if you upgrade from ie6, it automatically uses bing unless you choose another engine.
If you have ie7, chances are, you upgraded from ie6. At that time, ie7 sets the default to live search, unless you choose another engine. And if you now upgrade to ie8, it will choose bing.
So, bottom line, if you upgrade and don't know how to change it, you will be using bing. Same goes for firefox and google. At some point you would have had to choose another engine to not get the browser default. And a lot of people don't know how, or even that you can.
4Aionism , September 17, 2009 5:45 PMI'm still trying to figure out what a "decision engine" is.
2jcknouse , September 17, 2009 5:46 PMSo...what does Bing offer than making your search look like playing cards?
Nothing...well...a different search engine algorithm?
Google gets me what I need, and is cut and dry.
If Bing had been at all a significant improvement results-wise, I'd choose it.
Sorry MS. Your best effort wasn't good enough.
2eddieroolz , September 17, 2009 5:46 PMcruiseoverideJust proves 10% of Internet users use the default search on IE.
Just proves that someone as tech-savvy as I can switch Opera, Firefox and IE8's default and only search engine to Bing and be happy about it.
4schmich , September 17, 2009 5:49 PMMight have been an idea to add "in the US" at least once in this article TH?
Globally Bing has 3.52%...
3beayn , September 17, 2009 5:53 PMLately I've been finding Google isn't so great. It always finds articles or forum posts from years ago. I'm not interested in stuff from 2005 or 2006. Especially when I'm searching for tech related stuff and google finds info about something similar from before the product was even released, thus being totally useless.
I've used Bing as a substitute from time to time and it has found newer more useful results.
1schmich , September 17, 2009 5:55 PMThere's a "Show options..." right above the search results where you can choose to filter any type of date range.
0zak_mckraken , September 17, 2009 7:21 PMBing Goes The Internet!
0danish_2828 , September 17, 2009 7:29 PMThe best part about Bing is "Bing Cashback". It is smart enough to realize that if I'm seaching for a product I'm probably trying to purchase it or read reviews. So what does Bing do? It brings up links with Bing Cashback telling me how much I'll save going through Bing to purchase the item from online retailer like Newegg.
Like a couple weeks ago when I purchased DGL-4500. When I typed in "DGL-4500" it brought up an option of using "Cashback". 5 vendors were in the "Cashback" : Newegg, TigerDirect, Amazon, and 2 others. It showed me how much they were selling it for and if they were offering free shipping on the item. At the same time it tells me how much cash back Bing will give me to my Paypal account for going through certain vendors. At that particular time Bing was offering 6% cash back for total purchase from Newegg and they were already offering free shipping so I went ahead purchased it through Newegg. TigerDirect actually had the item cheaper but was going to charge me $10 for shipping and I was going to only get 3% cash back.
As far as I know Bing is the only search engine that has the ability to not only compare prices of a product with vendors but also give you shipping prices and cash back. Let's see Google or Yahoo do that.
And yes it works. I have already recieved $52 dollars "Cashback" from Bing over the past 2 months.
