Earlier this year, I did a some retrospectives on Fox's X-MEN and SPIDER-MAN cartoons - - the fish-hooks that lured me into my lifetime comics fanatacism. Some of you maniacs begged me to do something similar on BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES and, frankly, I was reluctant to oblige. That show's gotten so much love, already. It might as well be the equivalent of apple pie in this particular corner of pop culture. If you don't like apple pie, you're a contrarian purposely disagreeing with the majority. For most everybody else, apple pie's such a basic choice that it's rather pointless to articulate why you like it. It's a given, just like the merits of BATMAN: TAS are basically a given.
Still, I kept getting requests for a retrospective so here we are, looking back on a show that was so good, its quality was taken for granted. Maybe it's even a little timely to look back on this during the launch of the New 52 and its concentrated effort to make these icons accessible to new readers. Look at this show and you'll be impressed by how it was able to capture so many eras of the character simultaneously without requiring any viewers to be versed in any of the sixty-odd years of history containing those eras. X-MEN, as I said, was almost exactly like the contemporary comics and, while that quality made it the flashier alternative for a kid like me at the time, today it looks significantly dated when held next to this, which is just as timeless as ever.== TEASER ==
Oddly enough, writing for Anime Vice has given some new perspective on how unique this show was - -especially in the landscape of American TV. Adult-oriented animation is an entire, multi-faceted industry in Japan but, over here, the niche is pretty much dominated by comedies. You'll have a hard time finding much of anything dramatic on Adult Swim or Animation Domination. While this started airing on weekday afternoons and later went to Saturday mornings, there was actually a period - - albeit a brief one - - when it aired on Sunday night prime time. It's kind-of inconceivable to picture a superhero toon airing between, say, 60 MINUTES and CSI: MIAMI today, isn't it? Well, there's a reason it was the exception to the rule.
It was a dark show, to be sure. Maybe not as dark SPAWN: THE ANIMATION or THE MAXX, but certainly darker than any depiction of Batman on TV before or since. As colorful and fun as the rogue's gallery was, almost every week's episode felt like a window into a new form of dementia. Obsession, envy, sorrow, rage and identity confusion are unusual concepts for a kid chew on because of a toon… but chew on them I did, right along with my after-school mac & cheese. Outrageous heels like Clayface, the Penguin and Mr. Freeze were all given tragic origins in one-off episodes that underscored even their most loathsome villainy with a conflicting sense of tragedy. At times, the show felt almost like an animated version of Rod Serling's NIGHT GALLERY; each rogue's back-story an expressionist morality piece capturing a specific, unpleasant shade of the human condition.
If I had to hazard a guess about what one root cause made this show such a success, I'd say it was because the cast and crew took it seriously, and through angles atypical to superhero toons. There's a memorable anecdote about how Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman, got the gig partly because he told the crew at his audition that their description of the role sounded more like Prince Hamlet than a superhero. That more-theatrical bent extended to the production process, as the show broke the usual M.O. by having the entire cast present for the recording process, like in a radio play, instead of having them record separately. As such, there was a greater sense of realness to the acting and to the interaction between characters and, more so than even the "dark deco" aesthetic and conscious callbacks to film noir, I figure that's the reason this show made, and continues to make, such an impression.
So there you go, some brief thoughts on the series that was actually a pretty significant part of my early fandom. I know for a fact that many of you maniacs had a similar experience with the show - - how about you offer your own takes below? And if you need a little memory jog...

With Democrats holding total control of the federal government and a cap-and-trade bill still looming, the GOP is fanning widespread coal country fears that the national Democratic Party is […]

From MTV:
It's not uncommon for fans of major franchises to devote several hours, days and weeks to the stories they hold so dear, but there's something almost indescribable about the devotion of the "Twilight" fanbase — a devotion that was on full display Thursday night (June 24) at the world premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
"This is beyond insane. It's, like, ludicrous madness. You can't describe something like this," actor Justin Chon, who plays Eric in the "Twilight" series, told MTV News on the black carpet of the "Eclipse" premiere. "These are some of the most dedicated fans that you'll find on planet Earth."
Sarah Clarke, who plays Bella's mother Renee Dwyer in the "Twilight" films, echoed Chon's sentiment: "You never get used to this. I think there's an Elvis quality, you know?"

""CEOs go to their vacation homes just after companies report favorable news, and CEOs return to headquarters right before subsequent news is released. More good news is released when CEOs are back at work, and CEOs appear not to leave headquarters at all if a firm has adverse news to disclose. When CEOs are away from the office, stock prices behave quietly with sharply lower volatility. Volatility increases immediately when CEOs return to work." —David Yermack, a New York University finance professor, whose recently released study shows a correlation between when CEOs take their private jets on vacation and movements in their companies' stock price "
Hawker Beechcraft Delivers First Hawker 4000
In June, Hawker Beechcraft officially delivered its first Hawker 4000, the super-midsize flagship of its business aircraft fleet, to private owners. A ceremonial delivery to another customer occurred in 2006 but the airplane, then still not fully certified, was a leaseback demonstrator and the buyer never took possession. The FAA granted full certification in June, seven years after the program launch. More than two dozen Hawker 4000s are now in the completion pipeline and about 130 have been ordered, according to Jim Schuster, CEO of the Wichita-based company.

Mayavati, a 29-year old Dalit from Kisani ka purva village in Rai Bareli district of Uttar Pradesh, has struggled hard against poverty and discrimination to educate her children. Her father was unfairly paid for the work he did on the field of a landlord and she spent several hungry days in her childhood. She remembers never being allowed to step out of her house alone. When she was married at 15, she hoped that things would change, but they did not. She worked in a rice mill where she saved the residue of broken rice mixed with stones to feed her husband and children. Eventually she got involve with a savings group in her village, which helped her save money and take loans to put her children in school. She also set up her own petty shop. She now wants to help other women and believes that no amount of cash transfer will help alleviate poverty. She sees collectivisation to be the only solution. She dreams about a world where all children go to school.
Joshna Pradan, 22, fought for her family's right over their one acre of land in their village in Kandhmal district of Odisha. When Joshna lost her father at a very young age, her uncle took possession of the one acre of land their family owned, which was their only means of survival. He also separated her elder brothers from them. She, her mother and siblings had to starve for days on end, or survive on the wild roots she used to bring from the forest. When she grew up, Joshna summoned the village panchayat and fought for the land. Thanks to her efforts, they were able to get back a small portion of the land.
These were some of the voices who spoke as Voice for Change at a ground level panel on Post-2015 Development Agenda by People Living in Poverty organised by Praxis, a non-governmental organisation here in the Capital last week. The ground level panel consists of 14 members from diverse backgrounds living in poverty and experienced marginalisation and came together for five days to deliberate on their responses and recommendations to the United Nations High Level Panel report on the post 2015 global development framework. They are not members of any government, private or non-governmental organisations or associated with any political parties or trade unions. Instead, the panellists drew on their own experiences of marginalisation and exclusion to provide a ground level reality check to the High Level Panel.
Sharing their recommendations, the ground level panel members sought establishment of a corruption free society and state. Therefore, there is need for reservation and targeted support, be they poor, Dalits, tribals, minorities, women, elderly, transgender, children, slum dwellers or people with disabilities.

A mellower version of Torah's pro model.
Although Torah Bright is best known as a halfpipe shredder, she also loves to leave the icy confines of the pipe to score powder and lap the park with friends. That's why she had Roxy create a mellower version of her signature pro model that would be fun to ride anywhere on the mountain. Where her Eminence model is built for unrestricted charging, the Roxy Women's T-Bird BTX+ Snowboard mellows out the formula for a more playful feel.
The BTX+ profile features rocker between the bindings for float in powder and easy turn initiation, with mild elliptical camber underfoot for greater control and stability on hardpack. Magne-Traction edges create multiple additional contact points along the edges for superior grip on icy slopes.
Softer wood in the core gives the board a forgiving flex, and it's made with FSC-certified wood to ensure sustainability. Speaking of eco-friendly, the bio-plastic topsheet is made from castor beans to limit the use of toxic plastics without sacrificing performance. A twin shape allows you to throw down switch and regular in the park, and biax glass gives it a soft torsional flex for effortless turn initiation. It's finished off with a TNT extruded base that's easy to repair after it takes a beating.

The Financial Times is reporting (with no sources) that Motorola and Verizon are in the process of creating a 10″ FiOS enabled tablet. This could be linked to the Android tablet that is supposed to be Google's project.
The story seems a little far-fetched at the moment, but I am sure there could be hints of truth from the circulation of information. I am still much more interested in an iPad — you know real devices.

To the editor:
On June 21, I passed through Ellerbe on my way to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Something happened that morning that strengthened my faith in humanity.
My family and I (two twin daughters age 4, 1 daughter 7 months old and my wife) were traveling down U.S. 220 when I noticed I was getting great mileage out of my once-full tank of gas. It was just at that moment I noticed my engine lose power and then realized my fuel gauge was stuck on a quarter-tank.
Luckily, this happened right in front of the on-ramp to U.S. 220 Alternate, so I coasted up and had just enough momentum to carry me all the way to the top where I had stopped and tried to call Triple-A for help.
At the time, I didn't know my exact location (later I learned it from the state trooper location) since my navigation system wasn't pulling up the street name. AAA said if I knew where I was, they would gladly send someone for $80 plus fuel and time. It would end up costing me around $125 — which I wasn't prepared to spend. See, my family had budgeted money to entertain the kids on vacation and, this expense would surely eat into this amount.
I knew there was a gas station 2 miles into town but, it being 6:30 a.m., I just hoped it was open. I was about to start the trek and leave the family in the car when a nice gentleman named Donny (I can't remember his last name) stopped and asked if I needed help. I was surprised by this action as I was taught to be cautious of everyone in this day in age, and yet this gentleman stopped and offered his assistance.
Donny reminded me of my recently deceased grandfather, a coal miner from Virginia who had never met a stranger. I would like to think that Donny was there at that time as a way to show me my grandpa was still watching over me. He agreed to drive me back into to town to get gas and bring me back. On the five-minute ride into town, I was so impressed and humbled by this gesture and kept offering money for the ride. After all, he saved me a long hike and even the AAA charge of $125. He refused my offer and said it wouldn't be right to take my money.
He was glad to help and wished my family the best. However, after emptying the gas can in my car (1 gallon is all the station had in the way of a gas can), the car wasn't starting. I must have been completely out of gas. I told Donny that I would be OK and I would just call AAA and pay the charge. I wasn't going to have him drive me back into town 1 gallon of gas at a time. I was just glad I hadn't walked into town to only walk back with 1 gallon of gas that wouldn't have helped the situation any.
To my amazement, another act of kindness came while on the phone with AAA. A man stopped by and asked if I still needed help. I told him I believed I needed more gas and he said to sit tight and he would be right back. Lee Berry was his name, and true to his word, he came back with $10 of gas and told me to start the car.
While this was going on, a state trooper also stopped and stayed by the car to offer assistance. He told me the gentleman who was helping me, Lee Berry, was his neighbor and also the mayor of Ellerbe. Needless to say, my car still didn't start, but Mr. Berry believed it was the battery. So he offered a jumpstart, and this successfully started my car and brought relief to my now-worried kids in the car and wife.
Of course just as Donny did, Mr. Berry refused payment for his time and money for gas and just said I should stop by The Berry Patch the next time I passed through Ellerbe.
It was this kindness that I experienced in Ellerbe that morning that has me still telling everyone about it. I am from Ohio and you don't see this hospitality and kindness up here that often. It sure was nice to see there are good, caring people in this world willing to help another out.
I was also very curious to learn more about Ellerbe and found it to be a relatively small town compared to anything up here in Ohio. However, I can bet that this town has more hospitality per square mile than any place I have been here.
It's nice that when life hits you with unexpected bumps in the road, you can count on the kindness of others to lend a hand. I look forward to my next trip down to Myrtle Beach and will surely stop by Ellerbe again — but hopefully on my own accord — and will hope to repay the kindness of Ellerbe. I will surely be paying this kindness forward.
Thank you to Donny, the state trooper and Lee Berry. Also, thank you to the lady working the gas station that morning who took my call and suggested some taxi companies that may be of help. However, they couldn't transport containers of gasoline, so I wasn't able to use them.
Justin Johnson and family
Westerville, Ohio

Why do I mention this? Because I feel like I see a LOT of comments. . . where people have clearly just allowed themselves to turn these people into the stupidest, most evil and poorly intentioned people EVER.
I feel like I see a lot of people who are prone to tendentiously reading comments this way that make no personal claims about Abrams or anyone else.
For example, say my name were Devin Faraci and this was how I felt about
Star Trek: Into Darkness
The infamous purveyor of Hatorade, Devin Faraci wrote:
Star Trek Into Darkness brought back both the cast who made the first film live and the script flaws that almost sank it, except this time the script flaws were not going to get upstaged. Into Darkness is dumb, it's complicated for no reason, it features reveals that are meaningless to the plot and it pisses away Star Trek's most name-brand villain in a plotline that disrespects hardcore fans while being meaningless to the coveted new audience. Star Trek Into Darkness is a movie so bad that it fails on almost every conceivable level, including mewling fan service. This isn't the worst film of the year - The Delivery Man and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty are even worse, believe it or not - but it's without a doubt the film that squanders the most talent, money and good will.
even if my feelings about it were that strong
(and I'm not laying claim to Devin's opinions word-for-word, I actually happen to think STiD is the better of the two AbramsTrek films), still: notice how all those things said there are
about the movie
and not about claiming that Abrams rapes kittens and steals Meals-on-Wheels money from sweet old grannies?
It's still just an
opinion about a film
, not an
opinion about whether you should hang out and have a beer with the filmmaker
. Nor even by extension an
opinion about what sort of person you must be for liking such a film
More people should get a real handle on that kind of distinction.
[FWIW, I have no particular personal opinions about J.J. Abrams, on account of I make a point of trying to avoiding speculating in this way about people I don't know.
As a filmmaker and television producer
I would say his work seems a very mixed bag and much overrated -- though
is solidly in the plus column for me and
Super 8
was pretty good.]

text: As I have said before my only annoyance with the Maul resurrection thing is that GL and Lucas Arts in general seem to have this bad habit of originally planning to kill a character but either resurrecting them with an explanation or just canceling the characters death because they are the character is too interesting to kill off. Its not unbelievable but it is kinda annoying. Let the fans have some tragedy of the loss of a good character too. This happened first with Boba Fett, the emperor and recently happened with Eath Koth, Captain Mar Tuuk, and then of course the many characters they made clones of like star killer. Darth Maul was bad *** but I don't want him to have survived. It kinda ruins the final duel and his defeat by Obi Wan in Ep 1

Discoveries: Van Gogh
Harry N. Abrams, Mar 30, 1992 - Art - 175 pages
When Vincent van Gogh was young he wanted to be a minister. He studied, wrote, and preached with a passion that proved almost frightening in its intensity. Later, he directed this passion into his letters and, of course, his magnificent paintings, which endure today, illuminating the turbulent life of this fiery genius. Meet van Gogh, the remarkable late-19th-century painter.

Exercises to fight the festive bulgeBe the first to comment 19 December 2012
Whether we plan to or not, most of us will end up eating more than normal over the Christmas period, while also exercising less. If you don't have time for your usual workout (or want to make sure you're doing enough to combat that third helping of roast potatoes), Mark Di Soto, fitness manager at Dubai's Fidelity Fitness, shares a few exercises that will work the majority of your muscle groups and help you burn calories. Better yet, the whole workout only takes 10 to 15 minutes. It uses a set of dumbbells, which you could substitute for bottles of water if you don't have weights to hand. Ready? Let's go.
Set 1
Exercise 1: squat to press. Reps: 12.
Hold the dumbbells at shoulder height with your elbows out to the sides.
Push your hips back, as if you were about to sit. Lower into a squat until your thighs are at least horizontal, with a straight back and knees in line with your feet.
As you stand up, raise the weights directly overhead.
Lower the weights back to shoulder height as you drop into the next squat.

10 September 2013 09:38 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Japan's JX Nippon Oil and Energy is operating its olefins conversion unit (OCU) in Kawasaki at close to 100% capacity after resuming operations at the unit on 9 September, a company source said on Tuesday.
"We expect the unit to reach full capacity this week,'' the source said.
The OCU, which can produce around 140,000 tonnes/year of propylene, was shut on 19 August following an unplanned shutdown at its 460,000 tonne/year cracker in the same Kawasaki complex.
The cracker, which restarted on 29 August, is now running at 80% capacity, the source said.
The company plans to take the OCU offline again on 25 September for nearly a month of maintenance.

"Excellent little apartment met our needs perfectly."
We travelled to Massa Lubrensa by bus and were met by Luigi (the owner) in the square within a few minutes of calling him. He took us to the apartment in his car where his daughter, who spoke excellent English, met us and explained everything. She told us about the location, where and how to catch the buses, the beaches, the restaurants, etc. There was an excellent folder with all the local details including maps, and bus, ferry & train timetables plus plenty of other brochures left by others.
The apartment had everything we needed. It was clean and functional. A big rear window opens out onto the owners garden so we felt safe and left this open all the time to ensure we had fresh air circulating (there is no air con but it wasn't needed). It is ideal for two people but no more. There is no balcony or terrace immediately attached to the ground floor apartment but you have access to the roof terrace with its amazing views. Watching the sun go down over the Bay of Naples with a glass of wine was sensational!
At night it was very quiet although you do get woken by the crow of cockerals in the morning.
Although the apartment is out of the main town on the Massa to Agata road, within 50m of the apartment is a quiet path you can walk down to get to the town centre (takes about 5-10 mins). Quite a climb but you get used to this in the Sorrento area!
We found the location ideal. We used the buses extensively as they left from the town square every 20 minutes for Sorrento and ran until 23:20 back to Massa. We used day bus passes at 7.20 each where you could travel all over the Sorrento and Amalfi coast.
We also found a path down from the town to Massa Lubrensa port (about 25 min walk downhill, uphill on the way back). The port is a little gem.
Massa only had three restaurants that we could find but all seemed OK.
Plenty to do in and around Sorrento. We included day visits (using bus, train and ferry) to Sorrento, Pompei, Amalfi and the Isle of Capri in our 6 day stay.
We just wished we had stayed longer!
Customers very clean and tidy. On time the check in and check out. Your satisfaction is our satisfaction. Serenity House will be always available for them!

Oregon police to probe if Alaska coach hit player
Tuesday - 4/9/2013, 12:00am EDT
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) -- A police department in Oregon will investigate whether an Alaska assistant high school football coach assaulted a player on a school-sponsored team trip to a summer camp last year.
Police in Juneau announced Monday they are turning the investigation over to the Gold Beach, Ore., Police Department to determine if a Thunder Mountain High School coach assaulted a player during an informal boxing match on the trip.
Juneau police spokesman Sgt. Chris Burke said that his department conducted a preliminary investigation and will continue to have a role because most witnesses are in Alaska.
"We are going to assist them in anything they need in their investigation," Burke said.
Gold Beach Police Chief Dixon Andrews will determine if there was a criminal violation, the department said in an announcement.
Two Juneau football coaches were placed on administrative leave over the weekend.
School administrators said they reported the matter to police after learning of the boxing match.
One piece of evidence police are looking at is grainy video that appears to show the incident. It was posted on YouTube but has since been removed by the website as a violation of its anti-bullying policy.
The video showed a boxing match with two people wearing gloves. The smaller boxer was hit in the face. After turning away, the smaller boxer was punched from behind and floored as those watching cheered. It's not clear who shot the video.
The boy's father told the Juneau Empire (http://bit.ly/10wjrk0 ), which first reported the story, he was provided a copy of the video by Juneau school officials when he was called in to be told of the incident by Thunder Mountain principal Dan Larson and a Juneau Police Department school resource officer. The Associated Press is not identifying the father or son because the boy is a minor who might be the victim of a crime. Attempts to reach the father Monday were not immediately successful.
Juneau School District administrators on Sunday said they had just found out about the incident.
"We are deeply concerned about these allegations and the details that are emerging regarding this incident," Superintendent Glenn Gelbrich said in a statement. "We are concerned further that this incident went unreported for nearly nine months. The Juneau School District has higher expectations of our staff and coaches who we entrust with our students."?
The school district has not identified the coaches on leave.
Juneau Police Sgt. Burke told the Empire that school administrators filed a complaint with the department and made them aware of the video.
Thunder Mountain head football coach Bill Byouer was on the Oregon trip but said he was not aware of any video. He heard about it, he said, from a Juneau Empire reporter.
"I think that what we have is a set of allegations that, if true, are very disturbing and that would not meet our expectations," Gelbrich told the Empire. "But what we have to do is we have to establish what the facts are. We certainly have been told how people characterize what went on there and, if that is true, than obviously we are very disturbed by that."
Gelbrich said once school officials have established the facts in the case, "we'll take the appropriate action. If these things are true than obviously we have some pretty serious work to do."

Re: People overestimate how many people this site bans
A good portion of those people we've banned more or less subconsciously anticipate being banned at some point. Follow with me here for a sec: Communication begins in the head. Whatever a person intends to say or write is all pre-meditated to some degree in their head. They just have to fill in the details from Point A to Point B, etc. It is at that stage where the voice of conscience speaks up in their heads, too, and that voice usually says either, "That looks like a well-thought out response on my part! A good quality post!" or "This'll probably get me raked over the coals or banned!!"
The bottom line? Simple -- those people we've banned had that latter thought float accross their minds just before clicking the "Submit" button ... and didn't care. They clicked "Submit" before the voice of reason could pipe up! And they continue to ignore that voice even though the "EDIT" button is staring them dead in the face. These people are usually given so much rope here by us that -- true to the old adage -- they eventually hang themselves with. So, instead of arguing/proselytizing to them ... we just oblige them!!

Unless you Really need to see sections of the wall, skip this. Any original graffiti is gone, replaced with a couple of high schoolish Chris+Don 4ever type crap. Located behind the animal sciences bldg.
Listed as one of Truro , Nova Scotia, attractions. Located in Bible Hill, but very difficult to find. No signage at all. If you can get to Dalhousie University, you are very close. This attraction is behind the Agricultural Campus , at #58 River Road just behind the Haley Institute of Animal Science and Aquaculture. Very stark and quite depressing....
We were going to check these out while on our stay in Truro and found out that they had moved from their previous location. They are now on the NS Agriculture Campus in Bible Hill (a suburb of Truro). They are in a little rock garden just off the Cobequid trail, it is a nice hike around the campus and...
The berlin wall sections are an excellent addition to the town. Unfortunately they are not well protected, looked after and they are not overly spoken about. Makes it hard to find them, and for those who are not looking for them actively. Definitely not a "stumble upon" attraction.
Amazing that something so historic has come to a little town like Truro. It used to be right in the town centre but with very poor surroundings - untended garden, concrete buildings either side etc... it has now moved to the college where I'm sure it has a more pleasant home, but just the little bit more difficult to get...
Actually I probably drive by these 3 - 4 times a week and now never look at them. I realize their history and signifigance but they just look so out of place. People coming into Truro and driving by must wonder what they are standing there for.
Firstly, there are no plaques stating that these outcroppings of broken wall are the Berlin wall. People dont even believe you when you tell them it is. They sit in an ugly part of town in an unkempt lot and do nothing but attract birds to sit on them and leave droppings. Not sure why Truro needs a section of...
It was rather awe inspiring to see the real panels from the Berlin wall in person.
It is nice to be able to show my son history in real life. You can see and touch the wall and it brings the thing to life. Nice grassy area around it to sit on in the summer.
The wall sections are downtown on the left side of Prince St., a one-way street. A private citizen placed them on a vacant lot and made it into a little park. It was our first time to see any of the wall, but we later saw another part of it in Maine.

Before the establishment of the Holding company, Panasonic was operating in Vietnam with two companies, one in Hanoi, and another in Ho Chi Minh City. Panasonic Home Appliances Vietnam Co., Ltd. (PHAV) was established in 2003 in Hanoi, responsible for manufacture and sales of home appliance products. Panasonic AVC Networks Vietnam Co., Ltd. (PAVCV) was established in Ho Chi Minh City in 1996 for manufacture and sales of audio visual products such as color TV sets.
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd, as Panasonic headquarters based in Osaka, Japan, has announced its new mid-term plan called the "GP3 Plan," namely, "Global Progress, Global Profit, and Global Panasonic" which took effect from April 1, 2007. With this plan, the company aims to achieve double-digit growth in sales outside Japan, and thereby transform overseas operations into its corporate growth engine. Since the company expects Vietnam as one of the emerging markets, Panasonic Vietnam will continue to play a key role in the development of Panasonic's global business operation.

Beautiful Log Home - Quiet area
near White Pine National Golf Club
This is a very nice place to stay with close access to the lake. The cabin is clean, cozy and plenty of room for 6-8 people. Great lake to go fishing also. The owner makes sure that all your needs are met with good communication. We will be doing it again next year for sure!
This was like staying at a relative's enchanting lake home. As soon as we arrived we felt comfortable. Bill is available if you need anything, but never intrusive. It's a little like going back in time (except keeping all the modern conveniences) to log homes, fire places, lazy days, perfect quiet at night, a black sky full of stars. The home itself is well-cared for inside and out with a ready kitchen and comfy beds. The log walls must be fifty years old––they're beautiful. Hubbard lake is just down the street. The "town" itself is really a tiny neighborhood you can stroll around. We felt comfortable just letting the kids explore, and they were in heaven. We've stayed with Bill twice. Hubbard Lake was perfect for swimming in late August. And we went hiking and bird watching in the Huron National Forest. Then we came back in February and went cross-country skiing. This is a perfect little sanctuary. I could live here year round very easily.
Our family knew our week was going to be a great one when we arrived at the cottage in Hubbard Lake and we received it spotless inside/out. There were no surprises with any of the accommodations and amenities. Our priorities were Cleanliness, Air Conditioning due to family allergies, and a Washer/Dryer on site. These priorities were met and our expectations and needs were exceeded. We are a first time renter for this property and we cannot wait to return again. The challenge will undoubtedly be availability since we know others will have the same experience as we did; thus, making the property a high demand. We love the winter and know the location could be a great cross country ski and ice fishing destination, as well, so maybe that's how we'll our preferred timing. Thank you for a great week at Hubbard Lake- swimming, boating, fishing, tubing, catching up with family and old friends, and resting with our kids ahead of a busy Fall.
My husband and I have been coming up to this cabin for 7 years now. We have brought family and friends. Always a good time!!! The cabin (authentic log cabin) is,charming, clean, and has everything we need. The landlord is more then accomodating with requests if needed. We are steps from the lake, walk onto the dock, and hop onto our boat, for an adventure on the beautiful Hubbard Lake! The boat lift is a great perk, that protects my husbands pride and joy (his vintage boat). Hubbard Lake is a great place to come to get away, and our little secret!
We have been renting this property for over 10 years and can't wait to return each summer. After the first few years one week was not enough so be began renting for 2 weeks. The owner is wonderful and has always been accommodating. The area is quiet and beautiful. We have recommended this property to friends who rent a nearby cottage from the same owner each of the two weeks of our stay. The cottage is well maintained with improvements each year.

The Pau Gasol trade rumors have been going on for the last year or so, but with Gasol a poor fit in new coach Mike D'Antoni's offense, the rumors are getting very hot. The Lakers are playing well as of late, but that does not change the fact that Gasol is a bad fit for the team. The Raptors have long been rumored to be interested in Gasol and the Raptors have a lot of pieces that could entice the Lakers to moving their All-Star big man. Mike D'Antoni's system is best when it includes a sweet shooting power forward and the Raptors happen to have one of the better ones in the NBA, in Andrea Bargnani, who they are very willing to move. Bargnani has played center most of his career, but is simply a power forward, who has been playing out of position and although he has his weaknesses (rebounding, defense), he is the perfect player for their system. The Raptors on the other-hand are desperate for inside scoring and have needed a go-to post player since Chris Bosh left. So a trade is poss...
