Loading Up on Virtual Servers
Posted in Virtualization on Oct 26, 2009 No Comments »
I visited a customer last week who was trying to run four 6 node ESX clusters with 200 to 240 instances per cluster on a large modular storage system. It was not surprising that the modular storage system could not support that workload. That type of workload needs to be run on a monolithic storage array [...]
Switch IT On II

In April I wrote about our "Switch IT On" program, which provides free software licenses to help current and new USP V customers leverage virtualization across their existing HDS and third party storage assets. The program has proven to be so successful that HDS decided to add Switch IT On II, and both programs will [...]

Monolithic Storage Systems Developed for Mainframe Virtualization Having been in the storage industry for some time now, I have the benefit of historical perspective. I started out when mainframe storage was the only external storage available. Mainframes were the original virtual server, built for running multiple partitions of concurrent applications which drove tremendous I/O loads [...]

I Don't Agree with Chuck on Everything

On my previous post, which was titled, I Agree With Chuck on Data Dedupe" I received a fair number of comments. Some were from Jered Floyd of Permabit and even one from Steve Duplessie . My post was intended to point out that while dedupe was an excellent tool for reducing storage bloat, it was [...]
I Agree with Chuck on Data Dedupe
Posted in Storage Software on Oct 5, 2009 10 Comments »
Chuck Hollis had an interesting observation on deduplication of primary data and I/O density. He points out that while deduplication is great for backup, archive, and large file repositories, it might not be as great for primary data. His reasoning is that dedupe can cause an increase in I/O density which may impact the performance [...]

DVD Review
The Movie
While this disc does not have a 2 in the title, it is a very close relative to those forgettable direct-to-video sequels like Cinderella 2 and Tarzan & Jane. At least this one does not purport to be an all-new full-length movie, and knowing that there are actually three short stories in advance helps lower your expectations to the cheap, animated television series level. Watching this disc with any more expectation than that will only lead to bitter disappointment. It is as simple as that.
For those of you still interested in finding out what is on the disc, here is a quote from the press release:
Sounds exciting, doesn't it? A better way to picture this disc is to have you mentally put the cast of Atlantis into three random Scooby-Doo episodes, and then you will be pretty close to how the individual shows actually come across. Actually, the Scooby-Doo episodes would probably be more entertaining.
The Goodies
There are only two bonus items on this disc, and only the game is remotely worth looking at. The deleted scene simply shows you the last 10 seconds or so of the last short, which essentially reveals that one of the monsters will be returning in a future television series or DVD. As for the game, it is an underwater 3-D exploration game along the lines of most of the other Disney set-top games. You use your DVD remote to navigate around a maze of objects. It is interesting but hardly compelling.
The Video, Audio and Interface
Given the rather uninspired nature of the disc content, the video and audio are actually pretty decent. The animation is not really enhanced by the anamorphic widescreen transfer, but I would rather see Disney consistently deliver transfers like this over full-frame ones, when or if possible. The audio is nothing outstanding, but it delivers to my expectations for a contemporary direct-to-video title. As for the interface, it has audio cues, animated screens, and animated transitions, but it is nothing out of the ordinary for most Disney DVDs.
The Final Evaluation
Just save your money and let this one submerge into the dark depths of the Disney vault. If you are yearning for a movie or DVD featuring submarines and adventure, this is simply not the one to get. Instead, reach for 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, and you and your family will be much happier with your purchase.

BEIRUT: Deciphering the implications of the political machinations in Damascus is never an easy task. And the latest reshuffling of key ministerial portfolios in the Syrian government has aroused the usual fervent speculation - and conflicting interpretations - about what it all means.
Some Syria analysts believe that the sacking of key ministers signals a determination by President Bashar Assad to pursue the "China model" of tightening internal security in order to reform economic and cultural life.
Others are more inclined to view the reshuffle as a symptom of internal maneuverings and a realignment of power structures within the regime in the wake of unprecedented international scrutiny following the decision to extend Lebanese President Emile Lahoud's term in office.
The Cabinet reshuffle, in which eight ministries changed hands, was not altogether unexpected. A year ago during the first Cabinet meeting of Prime Minister Naji Otari government, Assad said that the performance of the ministers would be reviewed after 12 months.
Still, Ibrahim Hamidi, Syrian correspondent for the pan-Arab Al-Hayat daily said that the "timing was beneficial" in light of the many pressures facing Damascus, including United Nations Security Council Resolution 1559, unrelenting demands from Washington, the crisis in relations with a previously sympathetic France, the outcry in Lebanon at Lahoud's presidential extension and continued Israeli belligerence.
Much speculation has centered on the appointment of Ghazi Kenaan, the former top Syrian intelligence official in Lebanon, as interior minister, replacing General Ali Hammoud.
Some see the 62-year-old major general as a "capable and reliable" pair of hands to helm the Interior Ministry after several security scares in the past year. They include unrest in March among Syria's Kurdish population, a gunbattle with suspected Islamist militants in the affluent Damascus suburb of Mezze in April and the assassination of a leading Hamas militant in Damascus last month, an act pinned on Israel. A year ago, Israel bombed an abandoned Palestinian training camp near Damascus, launching a new gloves-off policy toward the Syrian government.
"All these incidents put the security issue as a major priority," Hamidi said.
Kenaan apparently was one of the few people who predicted the Kurdish riots, which left 40 people dead and another 400 wounded.
Critics, however, fear that his appointment could signal a new crackdown on an increasingly outspoken civil society movement, citing the recent arrest of Syrian intellectual Nabil Fayyad and the harassment of artist Issa Touma in Aleppo.
"Managing this new architecture of opposition will take real dexterity and a new class of educated and worldly men at the top," said Joshua Landis, assistant professor of history at the University of Oklahoma and author of the http://syriacomment.com weblog. "Kenaan may fit into this picture. Having been responsible for Lebanon for so many years, one can expect him to be much more sophisticated than the traditional mukhabarat men of the 1980s, who were quite brutal and focused on the Muslim Brotherhood."
Other analysts say that Kenaan's appointment has more to do with internal maneuverings within the regime. Promoting Kenaan to the Interior Ministry could be a means of cutting him off from his "traditional powerbase" in the military and intelligence community.
"You have to look at the balance of power in general," said one analyst.
Many analysts see in the reshuffle evidence of an intention to revive the near stagnant economic and administrative reform process.
In particular, Damascus was dismayed at the loss of France as a useful counterpoint to U.S. pressure. France co-sponsored with the U.S. Resolution 1559 which calls on Syria to remove its troops from Lebanon. Although Damascus hopes the resolution will lose momentum, France has shown no sign of tempering its position on 1559.
Landis said that the move by Paris had "shaken" Assad and spurred him to re-energize the reform process.
"He knows he must deliver on reform if he wants to avoid getting squeezed even harder," Landis said.
Some of the Cabinet changes appear to reflect that sentiment. For example, Amer Hosni Lotfi, head of the state's cotton marketing board who replaced former World Bank economist Ghassan Rifai as economy minister, has a reputation as an open-minded reformist who supports the fulfillment of a long-pending trade treaty with the European Union.
Mahdi Dakhlallah, editor of the Al-Baath, the ruling party's daily newspaper, was appointed information minister, replacing Ahmad al-Hassan who was regarded as a traditional Baathist. Dakhlallah is a reformist and used his editorship to call for the Baath party to play a smaller role in government and promote greater democracy and social justice.
The new faces at the interior and justice ministries come as France is working with the two ministries on a legal reform project.
"These changes are highly significant," Hamidi said. "The president wants to give another push for the reform process."

When My Baby (When My Baby)
"In her new video work 'When My Baby (When My Baby)', an unidentified creature is presented in close-up. "Hair and folds of skin ssuggest a living entity which is animated by the squirming, bump-like presence of symbiotic parasites that move about just beneath the surface. The gradual revealing of a face elicits pathos and also a deeply-rooted primal recognition between viewer and creature. Like much of Piccinini's work, this odd visage is both familiar and strange to us, just as we are no doubt equally perplexing to it." --Rachel Kent, "Nature's Little Helpers," exhibition catalogue, Robert Miller Gallery, NYC, 2005 Writing about this video in the same catalogue Piccinini explained, "In 'When My Baby (When My Baby)' another transformation takes place over the course of a few minutes. It does change back; however, once we have seen it we can never return. When I started this work, I was thinking of Peter Allen, 'The Boy from Oz'. I'm not sure why."

Renown 57 Bop and regular Renown 18" bass drum head thread
I've found a few threads and postings on bass heads for the 18" Renown 57 and regular 18" Renown drums. A single thread would be great with all the info in one spot. For the sake of not making this complicated and not for every 18 manufactures kit, I would like to limit this to just the renown line. Just way too many variables with wood, bearing edges, hoops...ect ect.
So I'll start, I have the stock EQ4 Clear on mine right now, thinking of going with a EMAD clear batter. Looking for deep, punchy and very little sustain. I plan on keeping my stock resonate head and doing a porthole or a Kickport. What say you?
Re: Renown 57 Bop and regular Renown 18" bass drum head thread
Ok, I was at my local drum shop tonight, very reputable place, he's been working there for 30 years and told me on most any 18" bass drum, the majority of the time, you cannot beat an EMAD with the small foam ring. He carries Aquarian, Evans and Remo everything...hes more of a Remo guy and his personal kits he runs Remos with a EMAD. he also told me to change out ALL the reso's, including the Bass/Kick reso, he can get me a Remo with the Gretsch logo on it. he told me it will make it sound even better with the new reso head and a felt strip and the EMAD on the batter. Oh yeah, he doesn't like Kickports, even though they sell them, or have them for sale. When we play out, most of the time we mike my kick anyway so we can eq in the sound we want anyway. He told me the G1's are fine, id be kinda stupid to not use them for the time being. he has the bigger brother kit with the 22" bass and 5 piece in the same motor city Red color and he did all the same to his and he said it sounds amaizing for the cost. So, Ill be sticking to useing the G1's for now.
Looking for other setups for comparison and just general info...
Re: Renown 57 Bop and regular Renown 18" bass drum head thread
It would seem the EMAD would be too much muffling on an 18" kick.
I guess it depends on what style of music you are playing though.
Re: Renown 57 Bop and regular Renown 18" bass drum head thread
Re: Renown 57 Bop and regular Renown 18" bass drum head thread
U dont have to use any foam ring, the 2 foam rings give you easy adjustment, perfect for different rooms and venues. Ive had a EMAD in the past on my 22" Rockstar kick and ran without a ring before. If you want a jazzy sound, Id stick with the stock EQ4. It was quite boomy even in my basement which has alot of sound deadning in it. I dont hate the sound out of the kick with the stock heads, I just want to make it less boomy and more rock thuddy style, to match what we play.
Im useing this kit for Rock/Alternative/Modern/Pop, not jazz. I guess I should have posted that. Its all relative to opinion, and Im hopeing in this thread that everyone posts their setups and their opinions and what they are trying to achieve soundwise, be it jazz or rock or whatever. There is no right or wrong answer...and keep it in a single thread, thus avoiding searching for HOURS on this!
Re: Renown 57 Bop and regular Renown 18" bass drum head thread
I use an Evans EQ3 as the batter head on my Gretsch Catalina 18" bass drum and the EQ3 Resonant on the front. It sounds very good. Peace and goodwill.
Re: Renown 57 Bop and regular Renown 18" bass drum head thread
I'm not sold on the EMAD as the head I would want to use.
I'm going to use Vintage E's over Vintage A's on the toms, and snare. I had thought about the same for the BD, but now I think, I will go with E's on both sides, with no felt or other dampening. This should give a good low end while leaving a little bit of life in the drum.
I'm using a Gibralter 4611 pedal with a replacement full felt beater. I may try a wood beater as well, but that is not for certain.
Re: Renown 57 Bop and regular Renown 18" bass drum head thread
I'm re assembling my kick right now, decided on no felt for the reso, I used the stock supplied reso and put a 4" hole for miking. Then the EMAD. After I get it tuned and use it this Saturday I'll update. I still plan on getting a new Remo reso with the Gretsch logo on it soon. I had to buy a flat snare stand today, so like everything else, I need to get stuff in steps.
My guy at my music store told me as far as heads, anything you put on there that is a good non imported head will sound good, your starting with a great Gretsch drum shell design and that's the key.
Re: Renown 57 Bop and regular Renown 18" bass drum head thread
Hi folks
I have a black 57 and a blue Bop 57.
The black is the Euro "rock" sizes kit.
I have to say I'm really happy with all the Evans heads supplied.
The 18 Bop kick seems punchy enough with the supplied EQ4.
I don't go in for any other muffling or porting.
Having heard both kits back via smartphone video recordings at 5-10 ft away, both the 22 and the 18 sound fantastic!
The bop kit even micc'd up live sounded great - no port hole either!
Oh, I use a P900 Cobra pedal with the standard felt beater.

EU vows to keep up mediation efforts in Egypt
EGYPT, Cairo : Members of the Muslim brotherhood and supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi attend a sit-in outside the Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque on the first day of Eid al-Fitr celebrations on August 8, 2013 in Cairo. (AFP)
Despite the lack of progress so far, the European Union (EU) will continue efforts to mediate between the Egyptian government and the pro-Morsi opposition, in order to push forward the dialogue between the two sides, said Michael Mann, a spokesperson for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, on Friday.
Mann called on all parties to be calm and avoid violence at all times.
Bernardino León, the EU Special Representative for the Southern Mediterranean Region, has temporarily left Egypt, according to Mann. The EU, however, has a team working on the ground in Egypt, making telephone calls to all parties.
In reference to the intention of the Egyptian government to disperse the Rabea al-Adaweya and Renaissance Square sit-ins, the UN has demanded that freedom of expression be respected as long as the protests remain peaceful.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Who Was the Teenage Girl Injured Along With Usher's Stepson and What's Her Connection to Kandi Burruss?
On July 6, Usher's stepson, Kile Glover, was critically injured in a tragic accident in Atlanta after he and a female friend were struck by a jet ski while floating on inner tubes in Lake Lanier.
While Kile's connection to Usher was widely reported (the singer's estranged wife, Tameka Foster, is Kile's mom) little was known about the young girl, who reportedly suffered a broken bone, and cuts and bruises.
However, Kandi Burruss's friend Toya Wright tweeted the following message on July 11 and identified the 15-year-old girl as the daughter of a friend.
"Please Say a prayer for my friend Peaches daughter (Jordon)....She was the young lady in the accident with K," Toya wrote alongside the above picture.
Peaches, Jordon's mom, is also friendly with Kandi, and was actually in The Real Housewives of Atlanta star's clothing boutique with her daughter just days before the accident.
On July 1, Kandi tweeted, "Peaches daughter @LexiJoRox looks so cute in this dress," and included the picture above.
We know that many of the H'wives were affected by the tragedy, and our thoughts are with Kile and Jordon's families during this difficult time.

|Moore at his best, but Bond-by-formula. Lazy writing. Too-easy seductions. Bond has it too easy all the way. Jaws--"Nuff said." Chase after chase with a plot spray-painted from the "You Only Live Twice" stencil. Marvin Hamlisch score feels like "James Bond! The Musical!" Barbara Bach plastic-pretty. But that's a great stunt in the open. Good will of that can't sustain the movie. Bond ends up with girl in bath-o-sub-escape-thing.
|One of the least Bond films I like. Someone dropped the ball here. What happened? I don't have a clue. However there are a few moments that keeps this movie flow through. The introduction of Jaws to begin with. The most famous henchman of all. A huge challenge for Bond. The Lotus Esprit. At last Roger gets his own "Bond" car. The pre-title is memorable that proves that "Nobody does it better" than 007. I did not like triple XXX at all. The villain was completly lazy and just stuffed himself with food and loved to press buttons.This Bond film is like a damn roller coaster! It moves up and down.

I am honestly perplexed as to how this can be many fan's favorite Bond film. I suppose that the great thing about this franchise is the diversity from one film (and one Bond) to the next.
I have tried many times to just sit back and enjoy this flick for what it is. I still fail, miserably, at being able to appreciate it. It seems as though the writers intentionally counteracted every good stunt/action scene with a ridiculously cheesy finale. Some examples of this include the intro scene followed by the terrible "pillow sub" chaser. The Lotus car chase also ends with an over the top quest for laughs as it pulls up out of the water onto the beach.
Jaws is a ridiculous villain.
The submarine battle is reminiscent of the volcano battle in 'You Only Live Twice.'
What's the deal with the spaceship looking ocean base and the horrendously unthreatening villain?
Why doesn't XXX have any emotions whatsoever and what is she thinking about while she stares off into oblivion every time she is engaged in conversation??
This movie is BAAAD!
Though, not even half as bad as the trash that follows.....

In an age of pervasive surveillance that makes no exception for the media, the idea of a WikiLeaks-style secure submission system for anonymous whistleblowers may be more important than ever. Now one group believes in those leaking tools so strongly that it's willing to pay for mainstream media to install them.
On Tuesday the non-profit Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) announced the launch of SecureDrop, a piece of open-source software designed to serve as an anonymous submission systems for media organizations. And to encourage news outlets to install it, the Foundation has offered to send one of SecureDrop's creators, security consultant James Dolan, to willing news outlets to help install it, in some cases even paying for the necessary hardware.
"We want to take all the pain out of this process so that they have no excuse but to use this technology. The barrier has been cost and the technical ability," says Trevor Timm, the Freedom of the Press Foundation's executive director. "So we're actually going to physically fly [Dolan] around the country to major media organizations to install this."
SecureDrop, which like WikiLeaks depends on the anonymity software Tor to hide leakers' identities, was developed from the open-source software DeadDrop, initially created by the late coder and activist Aaron Swartz along with Dolan and Wired editor Kevin Poulsen. The system was initially created to serve as a leak submission system for Wired, but was dropped after a management shakeup at the magazine and adopted instead by fellow Conde Nast publication the New Yorker under the name Strongbox and launched in May. The code behind that system has remained free and open-source, allowing any other media outlet to adopt it.
On top of financially supporting DeadDrop, (now SecureDrop) the FPF says it's also had the software audited for security flaws by cryptography guru Bruce Schneier and Tor developer Jacob Appelbaum, along with other researchers at the University of Washington.
The idea of integrating WikiLeaks-style anonymous submission into the mainstream media has been floated for years, with only limited success. Initial experiments by the Wall Street Journal and Al Jazeera were criticized for their technical and legal flaws. But the Bulgarian media outlet Bivol used its submission portal known as BalkanLeaks to obtain leaks that contributed to the resignation of the country's prime minister. Another group of 15 Dutch newspapers recently set up a common leak portal known as PubLeaks. And New Yorker editor Nicholas Thompson has said that the magazine's leak portal has been even more useful than he expected in obtaining anonymous leaks, according to an article posted on a blog run by Harvard's Nieman Foundation.
"Not only is it a good tool for people we didn't know about to send us information we don't know," Thompson told Nieman. "It's also a good tool for just communicating with sources who don't want to meet in a park."
That need for heightened source security has been strongly felt in the last few years, as the Obama administration has prosecuted more leakers to the media under the Espionage Act than all other presidents in American history, combined. Earlier this year it was revealed, for instance, that the FBI had obtained two months of phone records for twenty Associated Press reporters in an investigation that discovered the leak of a foiled Yemeni bomb plot.
"One of the reasons that the Obama administration has prosecuted so many whistleblowers is that there's an easy way to find digital trails of how journalists meet sources and talk to them," says Timm. "We need to figure out a way for journalists to talk to sources without that fear."

The Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, has been described as the best person ever to occupy the seat since the ministry was established.
This was the conclusion of a cross section of participants who graduated last Friday, from the four-week agribusiness training conducted by Federal College of Animal Health and Production Technology, Ibadan, Oyo State.
Over 250 entrepreneurs participated in the training programme on fisheries and poultry. The curriculum included production, marketing, processing, agribusiness and getting access to finance.
At the end of the course, each of the 90 graduates in the fisheries programme got 400 fingerlings and feeds to nurture the fingerlings for four months, free of charge.
About 140 people graduated in the poultry course. Each of them received, free of charge, 100 day-old chicks and feeds for three months.
One of the participants, Alhaji Owolabi Idris, praised Adesina for the programme: "only God can reward him. I thought it was a mere play until I got here. We were taken through rigorous theory and practical classes.
"Those who performed below 75 per cent were dropped. The minister has thought me how to fish, and has given me fishes for me to go and multiply, he is the best in the history of Nigeria."
Madam Mojisola Ariyo, who took part in the poultry course remarked thus: " I have never seen a thing like this before: I came here for the four-week training. They gave us accommodation, they gave me 100 chicks, three months feeds to feed them to the point of laying and N5, 000 to transport them home, it is as if I am still dreaming."
Another participant, Mr Rashidi Odunaiya, however, pleaded with the government to continue the programme: "I want government to continue. A lot of people here are entrepreneurs and retired people. The government should continue and also find a way of encouraging the youths to show more interests," he said.
Afolake Mabadeje, who took the training course on fisheries was full of joy as she received her fingerlings, feeds and transport fare in Ibadan last Friday. In her words: "I am too happy to talk now because I don't want to start crying. My creator will help me bless these people and the minister. They have given me what I will eat, God bless them."
In his remarks, the Head of Department, Department of Vocational Training and Senior lecturer in Animal Production at the college, Dr. Adekoya Owosibo, remarked that the training was part of government efforts in the Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA), "to empower many people; unemployed youths, women, peasant farmers, and military and civilian retirees for self-sustenance, economic independence, job and wealth creation."

There's many spelling and grammar errors in the game. For example, "close sorronding" should be "close surrounding" and a couple times in the Newbie guide the "I" isn't capitalized. Not a huge deal but it will look more professional and aesthetically appealing if these errors are fixed. Here are some screenshots if you have trouble finding the errors.

First off the game is fun i enjoy Now I think there should be more type of rewards that people can get when playing the game beside being on the top ranking game player. I thinking maybe having smaller type contest in the game. like daily type contest
1. Like player vs player at the end of each day the player that has the most win vs other players win
2. Or quest reward where a player with the most quest done in a day win the contest.
also on that one would have to be more different type of quest added.
so those my thoughts other than that good job on the games oh yeah one thing lol why don't have the link for the game posted on the home page. I think this game might be good way to get referrals. so having the link post on the home page so new member can see the game link and they can try it out.

Very well structured, very stable and lvl/stats fit well. However, minor adjustments might make the game run a little smoother.
First, maybe quests that you could earn gold in?
Second, prices on some things (i.e., leather shield for 12000) seems a bit extreme for the amount earned from baddies. plus lvl req./price (i.e., a spear for a lvl 7, 8000 gold, gun lvl 10 for 5200), could use a revamp.
Third, the possibility of buying medkits in bulk would be a handy feature.
The authentication screen appears rather frequently, if this is a necessity then understood.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

what can we do with copper bars....tried exchanging them in the convertion center but nothing happens.
Also I think you should have how many monsters are left for a quest for example. For the first quest you have to kill 5 rats. you can have a check list of how many are left to fulfill that specific quest.

What about a banking feature. Like a place you can put away some of your "gold" if you were saving up for new weapons or armor. Just so you don't go for broke in battles.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Barb1958 Check in experience I had booked on the phone with SPG for our stay. I was told I was bookedfor a King suite for 32,000 points for one night. When we arrived, I found we were booked for a junior suite. I showed the associate my confirmation with the information on it and he still insisted that we were getting the junior suite. I stayed patient, but kept to what I expected , and finally he found us a suitable suite. Upon checking out, I found that we were charged 42,000 points, which I don't think is right because of what I had agreed on when booking, I think SPG should make good about the reservation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PeterInCanada A great return Once again the Sheraton Times Square has provided us with a great place to stay during our now annual visit to NYC. Perfectly located at Times Square and very conveniently located for access to the subway and many attractions and restaurants. This is not an inexpensive hotel but it is worth every penny that you pay. The staff are great. See you next year! January 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gbonanse NYE 2014 We stayed at Sheraton Times Square for the NYE 2014 - excellent location, affordable price, excellent staff and hotel in perfect conditions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Traci47 Great Location and Family Friendly The hotel was minutes away from the middle of Times Square which made it a great and convenient location for New Year's Eve! Family friendly and overall a good expereience. January 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BHSgirl71 personal touch when calling customer service, they answer by stating your name. When we couldn't raise the window shade, they sent a mechanic straight away. It was a simple fix, and once raised opened our view to the city. After the ball drop on NYE, the staff conducted the return of guests in an orderly manner so the elevators were accessible and the crowd did not become overwhelming, i.e.pushing, shoving, everyone wanting to be "first" in line. January 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MLMesa Excelent location, facilities are very good for the price The hotel is great, convenient, its location is ideal for visiting the sights of Manhattan.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jimbola Good & Bad in Theater District We enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton Times Square for New Year's Eve week. First, the good. The renovations are fantastic. My wife had stayed there a few years ago before the remodel and was astounded at how much better it was. The location is perfect, you can walk to Times Square, all the theaters, many museums, landmarks, shops, Central Park, the perfect spot. Subway stations are either downstairs or a block or two away, depending on which line you need. Very convenient. View from the upper Club Level floors is outstanding. Bad: The rooms are the 2nd smallest I've stayed in anywhere in the world (Japan being smaller), but they actually were nice. The renovations were excellent, and my wife and I had a king bed with our son on the chaise lounge and we all fit. So it was a good use of a small space, probably half the size of a normal hotel room. The Club Lounge was horribly crowded for the free breakfast, but if you are in there early, it's probably better. Food and such in the Club Lounge was good though, although we found no snacks any other times of the day. Check-In: The hotel was very busy, so when we arrived at 9pm, there were no rooms ready for us- lame. But the check in lady worked really hard to get us in to good rooms and gave us some complimentary upgrades. Furthermore, at checkout times, there were so many people leaving simultaneously that the elevators were jammed, and we had to take the service elevator or stairs to get down. Hotel Restaurant: The Hudson Market/Hudson Burger was the worst hotel restaurant we've ever experienced. Our waiter Ernesto was great, but the surly hostesses, cashiers , bus and cooking staff were incredibly slow and the food was marginal. Fortunately, the Carnegie Deli was a few blocks away, so we finally got a great breakfast. Overall though, we loved staying at the Sheraton and everyone else on staff was great, helpful and friendly. We would stay there again, but would just avoid the lobby restaurant. We stayed on points, which was the best SPG value in Manhattan, so that made everything seem better. Also was impressed with the doorman and his management of getting taxis for guests, he worked very hard and was quite good. We were there for New Year's Eve, and the hotel is actually a great spot to see the ball drop. It was so cold we just watched everything from our hotel room. We could see the fireworks and stages from our room, but the ball dropping was obscured, although some rooms actually can see it directly. We just went out in the street right before midnight to join the throngs and then dashed back into the warmth right afterwards, so we got the best of both worlds. January 2, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Carolegr Very disappointed Well you asked for this review. We stayed at this hotel 3 times in the last year. We are gold preferred starwood members and we will not stay here again. Granted it was New Years and the hotel was full but if you are going to charge exorbitant fees for the stay you have to be able to meet guest needs. The staff couldn't care less when we complained that our 'sweet sleeper ' bed was everything but sweet. I've never had such an uncomfortable bed in any starwood property. Also food was left from our neighbors room service in the hall on the floor for over 24 hours. Elevators were impossible. We waited over 30 mins for one to go down eventually going down the service elevator. Our television didn't work although engineering did arrive in a timely fashion. I expected it to be busy but I also expected to be treated with respect and the staff just couldn't care less. The business centre was ridiculous. It cost $12 to check in for our flights and then they didn't have a printer which worked. January 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dan44 Great location This was a great location for our weekend visit to take in the Rockettes, see the 911 Memorial and see the area. Only problem was 2 of my 3 rooms were not ready upon arrival and linens not available for the lounge until 2-3 am which was very disturbing. January 1, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by bbaker9290 This hotel is terrible! This hotel was our standard when staying in NYC, but I will never return to this property! It was overcrowded and you had to wait up to 15 minutes to for an elevator. We are Platinum members and so we upgraded to the club floor. This was way overcrowded and no longer exclusive. Breakfast was a feeding frenzy, and my 9 year old grandson referred to it as "The Hunger Games". We ended up having breakfast at Toasties on 49th Street. The hotel generally tired and dirty, and service was below average. We will never return to this property. January 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by fish09 Convenient, great for quick stays The hotel is on the older side - but this is NYC. Great concierge lounge and service. Was able to handle massive AM crowd (full of tourists/families for the holiday weekend) efficiently and effectively. Rooms a bit small and old, but the location is convenient. January 1, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by BDUN Sheraton NY times square I must say that I am extremely disappointed with our stay at the hotel, even though the managers on duty tried to help by offering us complementary services. We arrived at the Sheraton Times Square after our flight from Los Angeles at 5:30 p.m. on 12/26. Our reservation for four nights for a vacation with our children was made months before our arrival, but were told that our room was not ready. When we finally did get our room at 7:15 p.m. by now we were eager to shower before having to rush to our 8:00 p.m. dinner reservation, only to find that our bathroom had no shower curtain. We told the bellman, and waited for another half an hour in vain, so finally left the hotel without being able to freshen up after our trip. The next morning, my wife on her way to join my kids and I waiting for her in the lobby, got stuck in the hotel elevator with other guests, had to pry the elevator doors open, and had to walk down 35 levels to join us, wasting again precious time. Returning to the hotel the same afternoon, because of ongoing repairs we had to wait for another 20 minutes before being allowed to get on an elevator to be able to reach our room. As far as the accommodations, our room was small, the window ledge and shelves above the mini bar were dusty, and the room certainly was not worth $475 a night. I have been an SPG member for many years and have stayed in SPG hotels from Paris to Montreal and all across the US, but I must admit that this was one of the worst experiences that I have had in the network of properties. At this point, I would certainly think twice before recommending the SPG hotels to any of my staff. December 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BeaMc Wonderful Stay! My husband and I stayed at your hotel 12/29 -- 12/30. We were suprised at the level of professionalism from your staff. It was chaotic since it's NYE weekend and they were all pleasant and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. I have stayed in 6 different hotels around the city and yours is my favorite. Location is perfect. December 31, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 Preferred Check-In Needs Work Preferred (SPG Elite) Check-in line at 3:00pm 12/26 was 4 people deep (non preferred was 10/12 deep). Non preferred line was processed before preferred as only two agents at preferred were busy with two (difficult?) check-ins (complained to floor staff at the time - apology offered - but no extra agents added). There are 4 or 5 stations at preferred check-in - 3 were vacant. I would have been better off standing in the non-elite line for a more expeditious check-in experience. December 31, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by RRW1910 Fantastic front desk experience We arrived before check-in time and Matthew F registered us, but couldn't give us the room yet. We set off for shopping and the theater and returned six hours later to a packed lobby. Matthew happened to see us and delivered us our room keys without further waiting in line. What a terrific customer experience. December 31, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Chas02 Escape NYC in December I know it is busy around the Holidays, but hotel needed improvement. December 31, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by FJ77 not even close to satisfactory. My kids and I were very exited to finally arrive at this hotel, but quickly learned it was not even close to satisfactory. Upon entrance to the hotel I was shocked to see that the lobby was packed to the limit with angry families. As you can imagine this was not the sight me and my kids expected to see, yet we ignored the poor management and hoped we would have better luck than those 50-60 families being told that there were no clean rooms. We continued to the SPG members check-in desk expecting that our standing as Platinum Members would guarantee us a decent room, however we were soon informed that our standing made no difference in this situation(After going through the trouble of becoming platinum members I hoped that it would at least warrant some respect). The woman at the desk rudely told us that the best she could offer us was a room with two queen beds with club access (not even a club room). I told her that I had already called and the hotel told me 90% I would get a suite, but she said that this is the best she can do. Finally I just accepted the room and made my way up to my room hoping to relax. However, the room was not only smaller than any room I ever stayed in, but it was also dirty…..very dirty. The bathroom was leaking water and the sink was filthy. This is quite the embarrassment for the TIMES SQUARE Sheraton. I will certainly not be returning. Also the Club room was extremely crowded to the point where one would have to wait ten minutes for a chair. This was certainly not the environment my kids and I were expecting. December 31, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Maxwell301 After Extensive renovations, small things still count Overall, we enjoyed our stay, though it started off a bit stressfully. During a holiday period, with massive crowds, the check-in desk, when we arrived, had two people working it. So, we waited in line for about 30 minutes. The manager, came out, apologized and extended some complimentary items. Very nicely handled. The room design left no room for storage. Not a single drawer anywhere. Just a few small shelves. There were not even any hooks in the bathroom to hang towels or robes. There also needs to be a make-up mirror. The guest lounge on the 44th fl, if one arrived early enough to get a seat, was a lovely place for breakfast with great views and a welcoming staff. The hotel's location is excellent for sight-seeing and strolls in Central Park. December 30, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by macjac2 small room and bad elevators There aren't enough elevators. My husband had to walk up steps to catch an elevator, and then it got stuck between floors. He had to walk 31 flights down. The next day I waited for 15 minutes for my elevator, I decided to go up in order to come down. We were on the 31st floor. It had to stop on every floor going up (50 stories in all) and then stop on every one coming down. There were people waiting at every level.....and couldn't get on. December 30, 2013

World No.1 amateur Lydia Ko is pleased with her solid start to her British Open debut at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club.
The 15-year-old from the Gulf Harbour Country Club signed for an even par 72 to be in a share of 12th place only two shots back from the South Korean leaders Haeji Kang and So Yeon Ryu.
Ko, who has been in the spotlight all week leading into the tournament following her Canadian Open win, handled the big occasion superbly as she once again outscored many of the best golfers in the world.
"My goal was two under today," said Ko after her round in blustery conditions.
"One of my other goals was to not go in any of the fairway bunkers and I went in one fairway bunker which cost me a shot. I shot even so not too bad. The leading score is only two under anyway so that shows that it is very tough out there."
Ko, who began on the 10th, opened with a birdie-bogey start. She birdied the par four 16th to make the turn in one under par 36.
She traded three birdies and four bogeys coming home to be the leading amateur and in contention for her first major championship win.
Ko was pleased with her long game but found the greens noticeably quicker than what they had been during the practice rounds.
"Today I think my tee shots were pretty good and I think that was one of the ideal parts because it is quite narrow here and everything else was pretty good. I just need a little bit more speed control [on the greens] and I think I'll be all good tomorrow."
Ko made five birdies in all which showed that she can score well around Hoylake if she limits her mistakes. Her favourite birdie came at the opening hole of the course.
"I think my best birdie was on one, which was my tenth hole, because I reckon that hole is a monster. I hit three wood, five wood today, and sometimes it's three wood, three wood, so its not a short hole, for me at least, and yeah I made a pretty good birdie there."
The New Zealand rep made back to back bogeys late in her round when she was put on the clock for slow play. She was surprised because she thought she was on her time par.
"I seem to be, well our group, seems to be getting put on the clock for pretty much every tournament, I dont know why, maybe it's me or something. But it was ok. I think I've kind of got used to it."
"The groups behind me, some of them were like a similar speed to us but then we were at the front of the whole group.
"All of my bogeys I missed the greens, I don't think I three putted any today. The wind kind of died in the middle bit so it was much easier then, it was blowing the most at the start."
Ko admired the length off the tee of playing partner Lexi Thompson who opened with a two over par 74.
"She is a little bit more erratic than me, but I mean I want
that distance [laughs]."
The teenage star and her coach Guy Wilson went straight to the short game practice area following her round to work on her putting and her chipping.
Ko tees off at 11:40am (10:40pm NZT) in round two and has a similar game plan to stay in touch with the leaders.

Whether you are suffering from a mobile phone addiction, and you always like to slide your phone display? In order to enjoy the upcoming family reunion time, you'd better place your phone in the cell, setting the jail time for it it. You can't fetch your phone only when it's time to be released from prison. Otherwise, the alarm around the cell will keep on ringing!

College Health
Going to college is a very important and exciting time in your life. It can be a big change from what you're used to. This guide will help prepare you for some situations that you may face during college, and help you make smart decisions so you can make the most out of your college experience.
What's important for me to know about before I go to college?
Filling Out your College Enrollment Health Form: After you have sent in your acceptance to the college or university that you will be attending, you will be required to mail back a completed health form with a record of all of your immunizations (vaccines/shots/boosters). You should receive this health form in the information packet that you get in the mail. You will need to call your health care provider's (HCP's) office and arrange to have this form filled out. If you haven't had a recent physical, you will probably need one. It's also important to know if you have any allergies and to include this information on your health form. Your HCP's office may be able to send or fax the health form directly to the student health center at your college.
Getting Information from your Primary Care Provider's (PCPs) Office: Call your primary care provider's office. Let the office know what you need - your immunization record, any health problems, your medications and allergies. You should check all the medication you are taking and make a list. Along with a copy of your immunization record, you should get a list of all of the medications that you are taking, including the strength (amount of milligrams or concentration) and the dosage (how much and how frequently you should take it). You should also have a list of your allergies, any past medical problems (illnesses, surgeries and hospital stays), mental health problems, and special needs (chronic health problems and disabilities). It's also a good time to update your family medical history. It's a good idea to make a copy of all of your medical records for yourself as well. Keep this information with other important papers when you go to college.
Your Immunizations Must Be Up-To-Date: Your primary care provider will make sure that your immunizations (shots and boosters) are current. You should ask your PCP if you are up to date on the meningococcal vaccine to protect you against the very serious infection meningitis (inflammation of the brain tissue).
There are certain shots you must have before going to college unless you sign a waiver. Check out your state's requirements regarding the vaccine.
Health Insurance: You'll need to make sure that you have health insurance while you are at college. Talk with your parent(s)/guardian(s) to see if you will still be covered under their health plan, and to discuss any questions that you have.
You should find out:
- What type of plan you are on (HMO, PPO, etc.)
- What the policy covers - visits to your college health services may be covered with your tuition
- How to file claims
- What to do in the case of an emergency
Don't forget to take a copy of your health insurance card with you. You should always keep it in your wallet, because you may be asked to show it if you ever need urgent health care. You should remember that your parent(s)/guardian(s) will likely be notified every time that the insurance company is billed if you are on their policy. If you aren't covered under their insurance plan, you will probably be able to sign up for your own health insurance through your college.
Prescription Medicine: It's important to get your prescription(s) filled before you leave for college. If you'll be far from home, it is a good idea to ask your PCP if you can get extra prescription forms for medicine that you use on a regular basis, such as an inhaler. You should also find out the name and phone number of a pharmacy near your school and figure out how to get refills when you need them. If you can't get refills at a local pharmacy, you may be able to use a mail order prescription system which often sends a three month supply at a time or your parent(s)/guardian(s) may need to mail your refills to you.

Strategy and Tactics
There are a multitude of small interactions that Katarina has between each champion whether foe or ally, it is impossible for me to list all of them because new champions are always being added, and patches are always being made. The best way to learn how to handle Kat is from experience, or from watching more experienced Katarinas play. By watching high level play you can notice and learn exactly what makes them more successful with the champion. I always update my youtube channel with Katarina play so feel free to check them out for the latest play.
When playing Glass Cannon Katarina, always go mid. There really isn't any real alternative as you aren't effective at all in the bot lane and Katarina will get massacred by bruisers in the top lane. Focus on using your Qs to last hit, remember that blades bounce to the next nearest target. If you want to try to get a bounce off onto the enemy, the easiest way is to throw it at the back line of ranged minion, since there are only three minions, the last dagger will bounce onto your enemy if they're hiding behind the ranged minions. By not having a mana pool, Katarina can farm without too much difficulty, but don't count on getting any kills before level 6; you'll want to be avoiding exchanges as much as possible. Her base stats don't allow her to exchange well against most midlaners. Throw Q's on the enemy when possible/safe, but try to not miss any creep kills while doing so. Be wary as to the consistency of which you throw Q's, since Q's bounce and hit other creep, you are automatically pushing the lane every time you cast it, putting you at risk for ganks. Always hold wards for jumping in addition to vision.
Once you hit level 6, your presence in the lane increases dramatically. If the enemy champion has a stun that they have to build towards, like Annie, try to time her stun so that she won't be able to cast it at all (after she burns it by using a Q on a minion, for example) and Q > E > R her. This hopefully will put your enemy at much lower health, giving you a superior advantage in lane or open an opportunity for your jungler to gank. When going against champions like Brand, who have skill shot stuns, simply wait for them to burn their cooldowns and then jump on them - if they end up not opening an opportunity like this, keep farming the lane and either wait for a gank or farm passively. On the other hand, if you are counterpicked by champions with easy to use hard Cc (kassadin, leblanc, etc), simply farm whenever you can, and call the jungler to gank whenever they can. (Remember that jungler's cannot gank successfully at all times, you have to set up ganks for them). Don't forget to take the wraith/wolf camp if their available and you have nothing else to do.
Remember that in the laning phase, your top priority is abusing mistakes the enemy makes. If these opportunities don't come up, either push out the lane and gank another lane or ask for a jungler gank if you really want early game kills. Don't try to force kills when you're uncertain of the success rate, as Katarina's damage can either be fatal or easily negated.
When you're against a player/champion you cannot beat, just focus on farming.
Strengths: Death Lotus
Although Katarina has a fantastic AoE ultimate that you just want to immediately follow up initiates with, you need to take into account that the enemy team can always just switch agro from your tank right onto you and CC you down to stop your ultimate entirely. Unlike other AP carries such as Xerath, Cassiopeia, and Annie, Katarina must get in the face of the enemy to really let her damage shine. As such, you should try to ult in these scenarios:
- After you see the enemy team has burned some of their CC, but is still relatively clumped and you have your tanks/bruisers in the front lines
- If your team has an exceptionally good initiate that leaves the other team disabled/clumped so that your team can chain all of their AoE/CC/focus damage on it
- If your enemy has no vision of you and will not be able to stop you when you ult
- You can guarantee a kill with your basic spells
If none of these scenarios ever really happen, as much as it hurts to say, you'll have to stay back a bit and throw Q's while waiting for the right opportunity to ult. Sometimes you'll get caught and be forced to blow your R to maximize your damage output before you die. Sometimes you'll get blamed for just sitting back and follow up on your bruisers only to get immediately CC'd and die. Timing your ultimate is something you gain from experience
Strengths: Cleaning Up
Because you usually won't be arriving at the front lines until 5 seconds have passed throughout the battle or so (again, unless the opportunity presents itself), you'll usually be doing most of the damage that will be killing the enemies rather than whittling them down. This is where the synergy from your passive kicks in: every time you're involved in a kill or an assist, all of your cooldowns are reduced by 15 seconds. This means that your Q, W, and E are all immediately reusable after 1 kill, while after 3 kills (assuming you used your ult when you joined the fight) you'll even be able to use your ultimate again. That's right, twice in one teamfight.
As you get kill after kill, spam your Q on whoever you can hit it on without going too suicidal but while also prioritizing lower health targets. Q has a little casting time, so it may be better for you to use Shunpo and W before Qing before your enemy runs away. If the entire enemy is relatively low when you join the fight, it's surprising how fast you'll be using your skills - I once even E'd in and ulted, got a double, E'd two more times for a quadra, then ulted again for the penta, all in probably 3 seconds real time. You may want to consider smart casting with your E during team fights to maximize the speed you can move around with, while also remembering to keep that W on so your resistances stay up each time you shunpo.
Farming with Katarina
As stated earlier, farming in the laning phase may be a bit daunting as many AP carries in mid are a lot stronger than you in exchanges and are ranged. Try to mainly focus on positioning yourself in the lane so that the enemy isn't able to land any harassment on you without taking minion aggro, in which you should try to retaliate in order to at least get equal footing in the exchange. Besides this positioning, use your Q only to kill creeps that you know you won't be able to get with an auto attack without getting into an exchange. If you have to, auto attack ranged minions and E back to the melee minions in order to avoid getting hit by the enemy. Make sure you conserve your E, it is your escape skill in case of incoming ganks.
Tips and Tricks
Complete Overview
Using Death Lotus (R) in Bushes
One way to gimp enemy champions is to ambush them in bushes, much like Nunu does. For example, if you see the enemy mid making his way to top and you're in a position to intercept him, make your way to a bush on the way to top and use your R as he walks into the bush to get the most daggers on him as possible. Follow up with your Q and E to him once he uses his escape to keep chase and hopefully snag the kill. AOE spells cannot be seen from the bush, so they will not be able to target you with single target spells whilst you are in the bush.
As I mentioned before, there are a ton of ways to juke with your E, one of which being warding on the other side of a wall and jumping over. Another way: say the enemy chasing you is near a wall and you're running in a direction that just leads to open area, like a lane. If you're fast enough, E into the enemy and immediately flash over whichever wall was by him.
There are tons of other ways to juke, such as jumping to allies, hiding in bushes and E'ing the other way, creeps in the lane, enemy champions, etc. Be creative with your Shunpo! Jumping to creeps when getting back into lane will help speed you into the lane faster.
Using Kat to Clear wards without Oracle
Synergies and Counters
Because she needs the enemy's CC to be burned, Katarina synergizes best with tough, tanky champions that can initiate and disable groups of enemies at a time. In addition, champions that can chain this CC while you start spinning synergize just as well. A few examples of this would be Amumu, Malphite, Galio etc. In addition, she needs teammates who can help deal enough damage so Kat can swoop in and pick up resets.
Katarina has three counters, tanky champs, champs with easy to use hard CC, and champs with mobility.

Now THAT'S a Star Wars cake
By Great White Snark | May 22, 2007
A little over a month ago, I was horrified when super-blog BoingBoing brought attention to a cake with a half-assed likeness of the Death Star. I won't reprint the pictures here, but follow the link and see if you can come up with a better description than this: Large, pre-historic ball of turd with a dent in the side.
UPDATE: Consummate good sport Ruth, creator of the maligned Death Star cake, stops by the comments section and points us to other, legitimately- and comedically-pathetic Death Star cakes.
Now, it's not that I don't appreciate the sentiment. I mean, hey! It's a Star Wars cake! That alone is worth a hearty slap on the back. But of all of the amazing cake artistry out there, this is the one that BoingBoing decided to post? Questionable, at best.
So, I took the advice of a hippie friend of mine and decided to do something about it. What, exactly? Well, I called the person to whom I usually turn when no one else will listen to my somewhat-baseless, annoying tantrums…. my Mom. (Did I mention that my Mom is a bit of a cake artisan in her limited spare time?)
The timing couldn't have been better. I wanted to be able to say, "Now that's a Star Wars cake," and she wanted to make a cake for my brother's birthday. That my brother had no particular interest in a Star Wars-themed birthday cake had little bearing on the matter.
After much deliberation over what shape the cake should take (X-Wing fighter? Jabba the Hutt? Star Destroyer? Greedo?), we settled on Max Rebo, the keyboardist in Jabba's palace band. The result was fantastic.
Check out the other Star Wars cakes here on Great White Snark.
UPDATE: Boingboing's coverage of the Max Rebo Cake, including mildly-hilarious cake controversy.
My brother's birthday coincided with my visit home to the East Coast this past weekend, so I was able to photo-document the "before" stages. My brother shot the "after" pictures… see if you can figure out which one of us actually knows his way around a camera.
The nearly-completed keyboard. Those are Jelly-Bellies on the side. (This is the earliest-stage picture I could get… curse my Mother for waking up so early to make a cake for me.)
What would become the keys on the keyboard.
The completed keyboard.
Early stages of Max's body.
Sculpting the body.
The body, in place. That hole on top was for the toothpick that secured the head, which was made entirely of fondant (icing).
Et voila!
Happy Birthday!
The "photography snob" shot.
Cutting the first slice.
The cake was 100% edible… yellow cake and fondant (icing).
In the final act of this homage to Star Wars, I did my best imitation of the Rancor beast, ripping off Max's arms and then eating them, grotesquely. I'll spare you from those pictures.

Um, that's amazing. I mean, now *that's* a Star Wars cake. But maybe it's actually a Return of the Jedi cake?
I actually thought the Death Star cake looked like one of those Nerf soccer balls. Every single one had a little chunk of foam missing, just like that dent in the side.

excellent cake – but seriously tho, what did you expect from the guys at boingboing? they actually seem to think that the faux 'LA underground' style juxtapose magazine trades in is some sort of real art movement worthy of note, instead of what it really is – a cynical ploy by people who are more illustrators than artists to ask 'fine art' prices for their work, by the people who only go to museums to find new material to rip off. it's not like the guys at boingboing have ANY sort of aesthetic sense, so it makes perfect sense they'd post that awful death star cake…
Ruth Says:
May 23rd, 2007 at 5:58 am
Heh. I'm the Death Star cake creator. I'm totally not a cake artisan, although I have to add that the Death Star is about the least crafty one I've done. It was for two purposes: 1, the obvious "woohoo, Star Wars edibles!" as you point out, and 2, to prove to a coworker that I could make a round cake. (Ball pan, duh.) I only spent about an hour airbrushing it since I'd spent most of my time that night doing the guitar, which was the official birthday cake that day.
But if you *really* want to see half-assed, I found a picture online the other day, which I decided against linking for the sake of the proud creator. If it hadn't been labeled Death Star, I wouldn't have known. It was pretty much a regular 8-9″ round cake (so not spherical) with black lines piped in a grid across the top. Switched to yellow, I'd have been closer to accepting it as a holodeck cake instead.
The Max Rebo is awesome, but Greedo would have been way cool. I'm thinking about doing a Millenium Falcon in August.

Great White Snark Says:
May 23rd, 2007 at 10:17 am
Aaron, per the captions (remember, reading is fundamental), the whole thing is yellow cake, regular frosting, and fondant… which is a harder icing that is commonly used on wedding cakes. It's edible, you just don't want to eat a lot of it. For instance, I wouldn't recommend eating Max's head, which is one big hunk of fondant.
Great White Snark Says:

Jenny: Thanks, yo! I take that as a compliment of my idea and orchestrating of the event, rather than a compliment of my Mom's considerable cooking skills.
Great White Snark Says:
May 23rd, 2007 at 10:38 am
Hi, Ruth! Glad to hear from you. I couldn't find the exact Death Star cake you referenced, but I found another hilariously-pathetic one, so I'll update my post.
The Millennium Falcon was actually on our list of possibilities, as well… I think that could be cool… cheers to you.
By the way, in case BoingBoing doesn't print it, here's the response I sent to the note from Cass (whom my Mom affectionately called "adorable"):
Just wanted to tell Cass to consider Ruth's honor intact. As I said in my note to you and in my blog, I applaud her efforts, but occasionally I indulge in a bit of hyperbole. For instance, of course Ruth's cake looks better than a turd (I'm just really bad at analogies and commonly resort to poo jokes), and my Mom is a cake artisan as much as she's a cook and a gardener… it's just one of her many hobbies.
Perhaps I will attempt to make a cake myself. I'll entitle the post, "Now that's a cake that ended up looking like roadkill. Whoops."
Chris Says:
May 23rd, 2007 at 10:58 am
Seriously, your mom rocks! Has she ever thought of selling such original creations?
Great White Snark Says:
May 23rd, 2007 at 11:02 am
Thanks, Chris. I'll pass that along. She's loving all this adulation… thankfully she's so unjustifiably humble that there's no risk of her getting a big head.
Being the capitalist that I am, I've encouraged a cake-making side business, but she has less than no time available for that sort of thing.

Great cake!!!!

Not as stunning as your mom's creation, but it was my first attempt at fondant. And I had to make it from memory right after seeing the movie (there weren't really any photos of it online).
Honestly, I am STILL mesmorized by this Max Rebo cake. I can't stop looking at these photos. I think you should make postcards out of the one with the two candles in it.

Online Ordering now available at White Castle! One-of-a-kind Sliders are just a few keystrokes away.
3/23/2015Orders were wrong, they say the don't get the notes at the store...
3/11/2015Excellent for ordering a head of time. Only bad thing it has some items that are no longer offered in my area anymore.
11/18/2013Nice app if you have the Crave
7/28/2013JUST TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY! Oh, that's right, you did... and it was delicious.
6/6/2013Awesomeness! Thanks for not overlooking windows phone.
1/29/2013Windows apps😁
12/1/2012Boss! Never again shall I be searching for the nearest White Castle, I can just open the app and order right away...my Crave shall be sated. =)
9/22/2012It keeps crashing everytime I try to register. Not impressed. Especially when the food isn't that good.
5/9/2012Love Castles. Even though now I live in MD, when I go home to NJ it's the first thing I do get me some Castles! Will be going home soon, so i'll give the app a try b/4 i get to my mom's.
5/7/2012I haven't actually used the app to order yet so I'm gonna give it 4 stars. Big thumbs up for not overlooking windows phone. Two suggestions so far: change the publisher name to white castle. People may be more inclined to use the app if they knew its an official app and not a third party app. Second suggestion is please update the app to metro UI. Thanks!

It is your lucky month for editing video in a software package regardless of its complexity. Yes, even software packages so complicated the developers of the software have problems remembering what to click at times, will reveal itself to you like an epiphany of clarity for much of the month, or at least while anybody is looking and no deadline is looming.
F5 continues to be your lucky function computer key for most of the time unless there is a sticker on the keyboard that says do not press it in bright red letters, or even a mark where a sticker once was.
Brain storming with alcohol is temporarily well starred this month in any office based meeting that starts around 10am and finishes before 2 in the afternoon.
This month your destiny is like a poodle with fleas.
