Rated 5 out of 5 by TNT123 This hotel was great This hotel was convient for our trip. The room was spacious. The bed was comfortable. The location of the hotel was not far from places to eat. October 14, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Gozar Nice room We stayed here to attend the Texas State Fair. The room itself was nice, clean and the bed was comfortable. However, there were no linens, blankets or pillows for the couch bed where my daughter would sleep and only two towels in the room. We tried to call guest services but the bedroom phone did not work and the living room phone would only beep after pressing the button. We ended up calling room service who contacted the front desk. Gust service showed up with sheets only, we asked for a blanket, pillow and an extra towel. She returned with a blanket and pillow but no towel. We politely reminded her we needed an extra towel, she returned with at least 6 each washcloths, hand towels and full size towels. Maintenance came soon after and I explained that one phone did not work and the other could not reach guest services. He looked behind the bed and found the phone unplugged, plugged it in and left. The second night we discovered that there was only the existing roll of TP in the bathroom and is was about gone. Once again we tried to call guest services and only got beeping on both phones. Went downstairs and was told some would be brought right up. 30 min later we had to go back downstairs and ask again, finally 15 min later it was delivered. The hotel is in a nice location, it is clean, the pool area was great and the room itself was nice. But the fact that the room was not ready and we encountered difficulties with service I am not in a hurry to return. October 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by garySPguest Wonderful hotel and staff Every year when I visit Dallas I choose to stay at the Sheraton Suites Market Center because it is very comfortable and a great hotel. The fridge and microwave in each room allows guests to dine in their room but they also have the option of dining in the restaurant or ordering from room service. I like the way this hotel allows the guest to make the choice. Additionally, the washer and dryer are much appreciated but guests can also opt to send out to a laundry service. This is a super hotel because it provides many choices for the guest. Deborah at front desk was especially helpful. October 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ChiTownStogie Awesome Room Stayed 1 night on Sept 2012 and was very pleased with the room. Spacious room and compfortable work desk. Nice touch on smoked glass door to bedroom. Very clean room, comfortable bed. Couldn't ask for more other than a bit pricy. Nice outdoor pool area to smoke a cigar. October 7, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Evana This Hotel have Good Aminities but not room service the hotel was serving every day water in the room and StarBucks coffee free of Charge which was a great thing. we have requested a dinner in room and that was very good never been late but when we called to remove the tray they never came waited until the seconed day in the room , at the time of cleaning it was put out side next to the room , again we called to remove same but it was there until the 3rd day !!!!!!!!!!!!! October 7, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Susan1001 Great Rooms, Bad Food The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Service was very good. The only thing that I would say needs improvement is the quality of their food. I had breakfast and room service and I think Denny's would have done a better job. As an example, The dessert I ordered from room service was a cake that was thawed 1/2 way. Obviously not prepared fresh. October 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lovetravel07 So comfortable! This is the 5th time I've stayed at the Sheraton Suites. It is a wonderful place to stay. It is SO comfortable, feels very safe and is in a good location to get to many different parts of Dallas. While I did not eat in the restaurant or sit in the bar this trip, I have in the past and it was a fine value for the cost. The staff is very helpful, and eager to please. October 2, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Lowyou Cigarette butt from the drain The hotel started off well for us but the moment we went to shower our troubles happened. We were atanding in water while showering because the water wouldn't drain well. After that my wife and I were brushing our teeth and the water wouldn't drain in the the sink either. The nasty part came when a cigarette butt came up from the drain. We made a mention of it to the door man when we and he got someone to go up to the room. The problem was fixed according to them but that night when we brushed our teeth we had the same problem. Having that in its self is enough to put a sour taste in your mouth. October 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grant47 Pleasant Surprise Friendly staff and excellent location provided us with a most pleasant surprise during our business trip to downtown Dallas. October 1, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jed5 Hotel needs more knowledgeable front desk. We were never told that since we were on the "club" floor that we had such benefits as free breakfast, light snacks, etc. I had even inquired if free breakfast was available and was told "no". September 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Iceman183 Sheraton Suites Market Center Dallas The staff was excellent on check in and throughout my stay. My suite was comfortable and clean, and I was upgraded to the Club Level. The breakfast in the club was a little meagre and picked over, but I didn't get there until almost closing time. I will certainly stay here again when I return to Dallas. Great value for my money! September 26, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Scottgeorgia Hotel has great customer service Hotel has great customer service September 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lee55 Great The hotel staff was great especially the front desk, received many upgrades, newspaper, breakfast, shuttle, great room, the bed was heavenly, the service overall was great. But the pool looked like it needed to be cleaned September 24, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by tkteeker Room smelled of Cigarettes Standard Sheraton fare. Very friendly staff. Club lounge had hot breakfast (bacon one day, sausage the next, french toast). Room was spacious. Only down side was that teh room reeked of cigarettes. There was copious amounts of fragrance thrown around, but the room still screamed cigarettes. September 23, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Uhno23 Hotel didn't meet our needs. No point of booking early when you don't get what you booked for and there was nothing they can do to fix it but make our room more crowded. September 22, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jean46 Poor facility The room was adequate, small but clean. The restaurant was poor. On a Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. our party did not want the buffet and asked for menus. The manager said they did not have any! I told him I had asked ahead and received a breakfast menu and knew they had one. I asked again and he went and came back with 2 menus to share among 9 people! Table service was just okay. Never received a refill of coffee and never received water. September 19, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by isabella remodeled 2011...hard to believe this hotel claims to have been remodeled in the last year. the carpet in our room was dirty, well worn and torn. the only restaurant we found walkable was denneys. however they do have a van that will take you 3 miles...nice but needs better time management. first trip 1 hour late to pick us up, second trip they forgot to come and had to be called. the suite idea is very nice. September 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cattails Friendly Staff I always enjoy staying at the Sheraton Market Suites because of the convenience to the Dallas Market. In addition to this, the hotel is always clean and the staff very helpful and friendly. See you again for the next Market. Sue September 16, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Austonian Convenient Choice in Downtown Dallas All-around good value for the downtown Dallas area. This is my go-to hotel whenever I'm in Dallas on leisure. Three aspects of hotel I enjoy: 1) Room Layout: Rooms have separate living room which is nice when traveling with family or when you need to work from your hotel room. 2) Décor: Newly updated rooms with flat TVs. Love that the removed the old console TVs that sat on the floor—makes the living room feel much larger. 3) Location: Plenty of easy-access parking and lot security officer. You're close to downtown, convention center and I-35 (for those who are just stopping in for a night on your way through town) One area for improvement: 1) Wireless Internet: during my last stay, the wireless was not working in my room. Onsite staff was not able to resolve and the 3rd party technical support vendor had long hold times. I was in town on leisure, so it wasn't a deal breaker. I was offered another room which solved the issue! September 14, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by airport Great Property, Restaurant Needs Improvement I stay at this hotel often. The rooms are spacious but not always well maintained. This week the closet had no door. As a Platinum SPG member I definitely appreciate the Club Lounge with hot amenities in the morning. The hotel restaurant leaves much to be desired. I waited 45 minutes for a salad this week. I reported how poorly run it was to the server as well as the front desk but no one really seemed to care. September 14, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by cv13 This hotel could be really great There are few minor flaws with this hotel. Room overall was nice, quiet and comfortable. Amenities in bathroom were minimal. Food in dining room was terrible but the waitress, who was the only one serving, was friendly and calm while dealing with numerous customers. The door to the pool was broken and hard to open and one morning, the pool was full of tree droppings. The next morning it was clean. Hot tub had a lot of scum on the tiles. Computers were always available and internet was free!! September 12, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Buyer55 ROOM DIRTY ON ARRIVAL When we entered our room the living room hadn't been cleaned. There was a bill on the floor, an empty nut can and cumbs on table and trash on the desk. The beds had been made and the bathroom was clean but that was it. We called and they did come and take the bill while we were out but it took a second call to get thru to them the living room mess wasn't ours. Rooms starting to look a little shabby, but beds comfortable and nice to have couch, fridge and microwave in room. I do think interenet and parking should be free. September 12, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Hemolele Overall Review The overall staff was excellent. However, the SPG Lounge on the 11th floor was not well kept or maintained. September 5, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by jrdnjrr Small details matter This hotel needs to pay attention to the small details when it comes to this hotel. The small details and the miss attention to details does affect the way people view this business. I experienced slug on my body from the side of the whirlpool and the bathroom tub area was nasty. The bathroom tub had mold growing in the corner and had hair on the shower wall. These all seem like an easy fits, but when you have staff that don't speak or understand English or Adminstrative staff does not do what they say, it makes you wonder about the integrity of this business. I further experienced a large jump in room rate then what I booked the room for; when I try to explain this to adminstrative staff I was more less called a liar. September 5, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Unhappytraveler Missed expectations I stay here a lot (probably close to 100 nights over 2 years) and there is always something wrong every time I stay. 1. The room - a majority of the time, something is broken or isn't working. 80% of the time the sliding door between the bedroom and the bathroom is missing a handle. Many times the TV or remote control doesn't work. The AC or heating doesn't work sometimes. And there have also been a few times that I have had to rearrange furniture in order to open the bedroom door. 2. The service - The front desk is extremely friendly. I have no complaints about them at all, especially about the front desk. Housekeeping, however, isn't up to snuff. Many times when I check in the room is either missing towels or missing soap. Don't get me wrong, the room is clean, but there is also something missing. I even called the front desk once to ask for bath gel and was told they didn't have any. Not really how a hotel should be run. 3. The food - it's disgusting. I got room service twice and some items stick out - the chips/salsa, the onion soup, and the pasta. The chips and salsa were plainly store bought, which is fine. The onion soup came with almost no liquid. I literally only had enough for 2 spoon fulls, and the rest was inedible. The pasta was dry and really bad - I only ate it because it was very late and I was hungry. I have stayed there since and haven't ordered room service. 4. Overall decor - I think this place needs an upgrade. The lobby is fine, the gym was upgraded last year, but the rooms/the floors could use some work. 5. The executive lounge - the staff is very nice and helpful and the food there is pretty good. They do take care of elite members. September 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by nick06 This Hotel has a excellent staff and great rooms.... The Hotel itself has fabulous amenities like a resturant, snack shop, bar, pool, gym, washer & dryer. This property is on a huge lot with mature trees . It is well kept and very clean, Housekeeping and maintenance are always prompt &.nice. The general manager is excellent at his job and really seems to go the extra mile to keep his guests satisfied. My stay has been a "10". August 29, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by BH72 This hotel did not meet my expectations for a SPG property The staff was friendly enough and the outside of the hotel was well kept. The lobby area was also very nice. The hallways and elevators were extremely hot and humid and odorous. The rooms were very tight and dated. My reservation detailed a room with two doubles on a SPG Preferred Guest floor, but when I arrived there was a mix-up and I got placed in a different room. Overall the stay just didn't match-up with my experience with SPG properties. August 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by RobinG Front Desk....Makes it worth the stay!! We had a great stay all around; HUGE kudos and thanks to Tamara at the front desk!!! She has an amazing energy, personality, and attitude!! She is why we continue to come back. Thanks so much for making us feel at home!!! August 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by TRAVELLER09 Friendly Staff/Great Location I liked this hotel. The staff was friendly and it was conveniently located in the market area. The hotel rooms are a litttle dated but clean and comfy. The price is reasonable, too. August 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JackUSF Great View and Expectations This hotel is very nice and consistent with the Starwood product line. I was more than pleased with the room and the friendly staff. Special thanks to the GM and Alexandria at the front desk. August 23, 2012

There are a number of ways to estimate what percentage of
your weight is fat. But measuring body fat is not done routinely, because all
of these methods have advantages and disadvantages as well as margins of error.
Some common methods include:
Experts differ in their opinions about what is a
healthy percentage of body fat. In general, 10% to 25% body fat is considered
healthy in an adult man, and 18% to 32% body fat is considered healthy in an
adult woman. Above or below this level is usually considered unhealthy and could put you at risk for health problems.
of body fat will vary between different population groups. Your age, sex, and
activity level will also affect your percentage of body fat. For example,
endurance runners have less body fat than swimmers. People living near the
North or South Pole generally have more body fat than people living in more
moderate temperature zones.
Remember that percentage of body fat,
by itself, doesn't tell whether a person is healthy or unhealthy. The location of the fat is also important. Body fat around your stomach can put you at risk for more health problems than if your fat is around your hips, buttocks, and thighs instead.

Genealogy in Cervinara
If you know (or you think) that your ancestors were from Cervinara, you could find info about your Italian family at Registrar of Vital Statistics in the City Office or at the parishes.
Registry offices in Campania and in Avellino province were established in early 1800: it means that you could find information in Cervinara registrar as of that date.
Before to start your genealogy research in Cervinara, we suggest you to read our tips for your search . They are useful to search in Campania and in Cervinara too.
In the next picture you can see the demographic trends in Cervinara from the Italian Unification (1861).
It could be important to know if the last name you are investigating is a frequent surname in Cervinara. As more your surname is common in Cervinara, as more it could be difficult to find the right info about your ancestors in Cervinara archives if you have not exact dates.
It could be useful for you to know that some of the most common surnames in Avellino province are:
Albanese, Bruno, Capobianco, Capone, Carbone, Cardinale, Caruso, Cioffi, Cipriano, Colucci, Coppola, Cucciniello, De Feo, De Luca, De Maio, De Simone, De Stefano, De Vito, Di Pietro, Esposito, Famiglietti, Ferraro, Festa, Fiore, Forgione, Gallo, Grasso, Graziano, Guarino, Guerriero, Iannaccone, Iuliano, Lepore, Lo Conte, Lombardi, Luongo, Matarazzo, Napolitano, Nigro, Petrillo, Picariello, Romano, Ruggiero, Russo, Santoro, Sarno, Spagnuolo, Vitale.
Church archives in Avellino province may instead contain even older information, but they are far less accessible from abroad (and almost impossible by email).
Then,parishes send information not easily.
If you have the opportunity to visit Cervinara and Avellino province, you could plan to investigate churches' archives by yourself, but from abroad is very difficult to obtain any result unless you find a reliable local help.
Another important source of information is the "Archivio di Stato" (National archive) in Napoli(Naples).
In any case, never give up! Probably the distance from your country and Italy, some difficulties in understanding and in translation, could complicate your search but this should not discourage you.

Looking for info on my husband's great grandparents, Gennero and Grace Cioffi Pisaniello from Cervinara. To US About 1890
My Great Great Grandparents were Madeline Carovona Born 1856 and Anthony Lombardi Born 1854. Both lived in Cervinara.
Madeline died in 1942 in NYC and Anthony died 1920 in Italy.
I recently returned from italy and plan to go back to visit Cervinara. I would love to know if any relatives exist.
Madeline & Anthony had 8 children: Twins John & one son who died at birth, Mary,Carmella,Louise,Maria, Dominic & Frank.
Thank you
Karen Montpelier Vermont USA
My great grandfather was Domenico Lombardi (born 1859) and my great grandmother was Domenica Carofano (born 1861) – both born in Cervinara.
Domenico Lombardi's parents were Giovanni Lombardi and Maria Perrotta. Domenica Carofano's parents were Domenoico Carofano and Luigia Cardillo
Domenico came to America in 1893 with an Antonio Lombardi (maybe a brother, born in 1858) and they went to work in the quarries in Vermont. I know they had another brother, Pasquale Lombardi, whose grandson would grow up to be the mayor of Cervinara and his great grandson is currently a councilman of the village.
Domenico moved to Manhattan, although my grandfather was born in Vermont, (maybe during a return family visit to Vermont).
Hopefully one day, the vital records of Cervinara will be posted online so that we can find out more about what may be our common ancestors.

NBC In-Fronts: Ben Silverman loves advertising
On Monday (May 4) afternoon NBC -- aka the Jay Leno network -- sneak-peaked new shows which may or may not make it to air between now and mid-2010 before 65 people at 30 Rock, in Studio 8H, where Amy Poehler did two minutes of comedy, much of it in a faux swine flu mask to ward off the "monkey sniffles," and Donald Trump came to express his deep appreciation of brands.
"I love advertising," said a scrawny and tie-less Ben Silverman, whose fancy title is "co-chairman of NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios." He does! Also he was thrilled to report that "we also have no labor issues right now," which is true unless you count Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay, who may or may not get contracts for "Law & Order: SVU," which will go on with or without them.
They did a cute little recap of their returning shows, which began with that Emerson quote about how a day is a "miniature eternity" and boy did it feel that way. Silverman laughed out loud at Tina Fey in the clip, when she talked about how Thursdays are now about comedy but they used to be about medical procedures gone wrong.
The network has a new policy about comedy, in part because its new head of comedy was involved with the making of "30 Rock" and "The Office." That new policy, according to Silverman, is that "Patience with comedy pays off." This is a new idea! And it is a lucky one for Poehler.
Whoa, then Donald Trump came in a very pink tie and with his hair fairly flat but forehead-scooped a la Rod Blagojevich. Because yes, "Celebrity Apprentice" is coming back.
"Why do you think your show works so well with brands?" asked Silverman.
"Last night was Chicken of the Sea, you probably saw that," said Trump. "I just got a call from the president of Chicken of the Sea who I'd never met or heard from before and they were so happy. I mean we had a two hour show about chicken of the sea. And Kodak is sponsoring the live finale. They came back for more."
"I can't thank you enough, you exemplify what we do," said Silverman.
Trump left, to his theme music.
"This stuff kills with the advertisers!" said Silverman, and did a little dance.
Vivi Zigler, head of digital, came out and showed a chart that was labeled "OMG! NBC Mobile Hits Critical Mass!"
Then Ben Silverman came back and said that "I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here" is the "most buzzed-about show of the year."
There followed a super-vague presentation about reality shows. Which were:
"Who Do You Think You Are?" -- Profiles of people like Spike Lee and Sarah Jessica Parker? Wha? Is this Trio? Perhaps it will be like an Us Weekly version of Trio.
"The Marriage Ref" -- Executive-produced by Jerry Seinfeld, people complain about their marriages and people talk about that.
Then there was scripted shows and there were actually some good-looking things ... sort of
"Trauma" -- Two hot chicks and four hot guys in which things blow up constantly in San Francisco and one of the hot guys wears sunglasses and pilots a helicopter. There is a black guy too. Basically you could have pitched this show as "something bad happens every week and people patch people up while someone cries" but they were too lazy.
"Community" -- We all like "The Soup" and that Joel McHale who is upon it. But, do we want to see him in a show about getting disbarred and going to community college with Chevy Chase and an ironically mouthy black woman? Warning: I laughed in spite of myself at a funny sight gag.
"Parenthood" -- The weird video preview of "Parenthood" which featured Ron Howard free-associating beneath his baseball hat. This show stars Nate from "Six Feet Under" who is looking hotter than ever and Maura Tierney, who apparently producers think is old enough to play a woman with a teenage daughter, which she most certainly is not. Okay, I guess she is 44 but she looks super-good. "There's nothing funnier than watching someone go through the pain you're feeling," said Ron Howard on the video, and then he started laughing maniacally, and talking about how teenagers are legitimately mentally ill for a while. The only way this promo video could have been worse is if co-executive producer Brian Grazer had narrated it.
"We all know how important family is," said Angela Bromstad, NBC's new president of Primetime Entertainment.
Right, except for:
"100 Questions" -- This sitcom is "Joey" with an English woman. Also apparently it is okay to make fun of albinos now. This makes "Two Guys A Girl And A Pizza Place" look like "Thirtysomething."
"Mercy" -- This is a dishy show about three nurses: the geeky sensitive one, the sassy black one (I KNOW, SIGH), and the hot one, who is Taylor Schilling of ... well, of nothing fame. She has been in nothing, at ALL, but I actually believed NBC when they said she "tested off the charts for us" in the manner of a Michelle Pfeiffer. I would watch this show if I were gay and/or a sassy young woman who liked heels and lived in downtown Chicago. The show takes place in a magical hospital where every patient has a private room.
"Day One" -- This is still in production but lemme say, yes please, as apparently bad aliens have come to destroy the planet and good aliens, led by a hot chick in sensible architect glasses, have also come to save the planet. WHO WILL WIN?!?!?!?! It looks insanely expensive.
But, Angela Bromstad, like five months into your job, doesn't it seem clear that some of the shows you're presenting here will never make it on air?
"Oh no, no, no, said Bromstad. "We made the decision that these are the shows we're picking up: some of these are Fall, some of these are midseason. But we feel like we've worked out different schedules in our heads and what we want to make sure is that we've got backup and failure and a really fresh lineup in the fall and we don't make the mistake of not having great programming to launch out of the Olympics. So it really is like two seasons!"
And though they have some "great shows," still: "We need some new hits!" said Bromstad. "We need some new shows." Well, don't we all.

Fantastic 4 GameCube
- Publisher: Activision
- Release Date: Jun 27, 2005
- Also On: PlayStation 2
- Critic Score
- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
The levels may be short, but so in the learning curve. Players will find themselves pulled through the linear game with anticipation.
Fantastic 4 offers four characters, a repertoire of moves, and compelling level design that culminate in an engaging game. The production values are good, thanks in no small part to the authentic voice acting. The bonuses are a cool addition to the game as well.
The graphics may be hit and miss, but they are solid where it counts; in the gameplay, and the sound effects again, are merely average, but the two-player co-op mode is awesomely fun for gamers that are fans of the famed comic book series or action fans in general.
In what seems like a profoundly misguided step, four players can't play as the Fantastic Four. [Sept 2005, p.101]
It's not polished enough to join its high-quality brethren in the superhero game hall of fame-- but even amidst a plague of poor design blunders and bland production values, it succeeds at offering some mindless controller wrangling in spite of itself.
Issues such as the camera, the short length and repetitive nature of the game keep it from being a game to remember.
The game's presentation is easily worth the attention of even the most hardcore comic fans. The graphics are all fairly well defined, with the GameCube version just edging out the PS2 in visual quality.
I can't say the game is all bad, as the teamwork aspect does offer up some unique gameplay, but with senseless enemy AI and a small amount of non-repetitive action, this game isn't something I could really recommend without getting a cramp in my stomach.
A straightforward action brawler with some interesting ideas. Very limited sense of freedom and wonky camera hurt the experience.
The models up close are unsightly, the cinemas grainy and the music has all the luster of a Tide commercial, but the game on the whole is entertaining by game standards. [Aug 2005, p.50]
It's decent, mindless fun…until you realize how little freedom your four heroes actually have.
The highest praise due to Fantastic Four is that it occasionally trades with some success on the universal truth that breaking things is fun.
It's really the co-op mode that saves the game from utter mediocrity. Nevertheless, the abject blandness of pretty much every other facet of the game holds it back from being decent enough to purchase.
But more importantly, you do get to 'be' the Fantastic 4 and experiment with some really rather excellent superpowers, and the game isn't so bad that a serious fan couldn't overlook its flaws.
Whilst not the worst film tie-in, Fantastic 4 still feels heavily watered down and certainly comes across as a weaker version of "X-Men Legends."
The drawbacks are that the gameplay is basic button-mashing, and you can get past most enemies (in Medium difficulty) with standard attacks. [Aug 2005, p.81]
Frustrating controls and fighting engine, and really lackluster fun-factor keep this game on the store shelf.
Co-op also makes the bad camera even worse. It's better included than not, but if you want great multiplayer, play the deeper and more fulfilling X-Men Legends or one of the Baldur's Gate games.
The biggest part about Fantastic Four that makes it enjoyable is the multiplayer collaboration. Two players can work together side-by-side in the game's story mode, or can simply go at it in an Arena Battle against endless minions. It may be just the ticket for those eager to team up for clobberin' time.
The action can get intense, highlighting one of the game's main issues: the unwieldy camera angle that requires constant attention.
The game suffers from imprecise controls, a lackluster presentation, a few bugs, and other issues that make it difficult to recommend.
But it's mostly mediocre. Fantastic 4 desperately tries to break up the button mashing with lame minigames, like hacking a door by doing preschool puzzles, which just made the game feel like a fantastic chore. [Sept 2005]
A game that did not need to be made. Check out "X-Men Legends" instead. You'll thank me later.
Unless you're a huge Fantastic Four nut I would recommend you play a different beat 'em up game, as this one is feels absolutely ancient and offers nothing new that we haven't seen before and many things we shouldn't see anymore.
Playing Fantastic Four I felt more like a fifth wheel on an ATV than one of the gang. It just wasn't fantastic.
It's a dry, repetitive game with glaring design flaws and even some programming bugs.
This lack of dynamism renders Fantastic Four feeling rather impotent. And unfortunately all that's left is a decidedly average button basher wrapped up in a blockbuster license.
Even though kicking enemy butt can be satisfying and there are a lot of big, menacing monsters to face, Fantastic Four is merchandising at its finest, a hollow game that's beatable in eight hours and isn't replayable at all. We don't expect you to enjoy it.
Overall, Fantastic 4 continues the proud tradition of mediocrity set by the majority of both movie-based and superhero games.
And while playing with another person is a little livelier, the atrocious camera will soon make things more frustrating than fun.

Plans for £750,000 cycle path divide Forest community
Posted: October 11, 2010|
SUPPORT: Residents who want the new cycle path which would run through the Wye Valley.
BATTLELINES have been drawn over the £750,000 plans to build a cycle path through the Wye Valley.
The plans were submitted in August by Sustrans, the sustainable transport charity, to Monmouthshire County Council and Forest of Dean District Council.
They are for a traffic-free path for families, walkers, cyclists, runners, mobility vehicles, wheelchair users and horse riders. It would follow the disused 19th Century Wye Valley Railway line, open up two former railway tunnels and see a new bridge being built over the Wye at Tintern.
However, the plans have been criticised in some corners with Tidenham Parish Council voting unanimously against it for a number of reasons including increased parking issues and maintenance costs.
Chairman John Powell said: "Sustrans are known for coming up with the cash to buy these things and then not looking after them.
"If this goes through and that is the case, which I expect it would be, then the parish council would be left with a maintenance bill of £40,000 per year to look after the path. The knock-on effect is that this would have to come out of council tax, meaning that people would find their council tax bill rising by 40 per cent just to afford this, it's crazy.
"I, and the rest of the council, sincerely hope this doesn't go through."
He said claims that the path will boost the economy are wide of the mark.
He said: "It is an absurd statement as we only have one pub and we don't have any cafes!"
A group has been set up in support of the cycle path called Wye Valley Communities for Safe Cycling.
Andy Littledale of the group said: "It will be a benign and well-loved asset to the community and not a magnet for anti-social behaviour and parking problems.
"Local kids could cycle to school, disabled people could access the Wye Valley without getting in their cars and the local businesses in the area would get a well-needed boost."
The railway path is one of 79 projects nationwide that will benefit from a share of £50 million of Big Lottery Fund money awarded to the Sustrans Connect2 project.
The deadline to register a view with Monmouthshire County Council is tomorrow.
Send an email to planning@mon mouthshire.gov.uk, quoting planning reference number DC/2010/00783.

Mogadishu — Somali National Army (SNA) along with the African Union forces on Tuesday moved closer to the main rebel-held city of Bur-hakabo, some 163 Km north-west Mogadishu, reports said.
Fighters of the rebel group of Al-Shabab have on Tuesday began withdrawing from Bur-hakaba district of Bay region as the coalition forces are heading to that city, according to Ahmed Mohamed Yusuf, district Commissioner DC of the city.
Somali soldiers and Ethiopian forces seized Baidoa last February without any resistance and combat from Al-Shabab militants.
However, Al-Shabab leaders described their withdrawal as "tactical retreat" and will strike back against the government forces and their allied regional troops.
"Our forces are just an area not far from the town. God willing we will be there soon. We call upon the local people to stay in doors during the operation to seize it from Al shabab," Mr. Yusuf added.
Somali and AMISOM forces have in the past captured several main towns and locations on Mogadishu-Baidoa road within the same region.

I don't read a lot of erotica, though I write a little myself. Most of what is out there on the dark shelves of the adult section is simply literary porn. Sure, some of it is well written and much of it is erotic, in a prurient sort of way, but I want a little more for my reading pleasure. Eden Baylee delivers. Her novellas are sensual, romantic, and engaging. We are drawn into the lives and emotions of her characters, our senses are filled with the sights, sounds, and scents of exotic locations, and yes, we are driven by desire through her beautifully detailed love scenes.
Spoiler Alert: Being a collection of four novellas, it is hard to talk about each story and not give too much away. If you would like a little teaser on each story, keep reading. If you'd rather discover it all for yourself, skip down to the bottom and leave a comment or read Fall Into Winter for yourself.
In the first story, Seduced By The Blues, we meet Ella Jamieson in a New York night club, feeling particular wicked and wanting to hook up. She sets her sites on a young man at the bar and gets much more than she expects. John is a master musician and plays her body and emotions as skillfully and passionately as he plays his guitar.
Next, in Act Three, we are introduced to Stella Christy who, after ending a less than fulfilling marriage, is quit the sexual adventuress. She has a man who fulfills her every desire, but she wants more--a ménage à trois with another man. I won't give away more than that, but the action takes some pretty unexpected and harrowing turns. The temperature really heats up in this one.
In the third story we slide into winter with, The Norwegian. Leah retreats to a cabin at secluded resort in an effort to break her writers block. Being winter the resort is all but empty and she relishes the seclusion, but a knock on her cabin door and a gorgeous Norwegian man who is the image of her dead lover make her wonder if she is seeing a ghost. But Henrik is very real and very much alive. What ensues is a beautifully poignant romance that could melt the Alps.
In the forth and final novella, The Austrian and the Asian, we are offered a passionately romantic story of love found, and lost, and rekindled. The author ends her collection with as much fire as she'd began, the cold of winter unable to quench the burning desire of her characters.
I await the author's follow up collection, which will cover Spring and Summer, making for a truly Exciting, Exotic, and Extremely Erotic year. I breathlessly recommend Fall Into Winter to anyone who loves great romance and expects more than just great sex. You can visit Eden at her blog.

An invitation for you: BE IN OUR PICTURE!
Have you ever had a secret desire to see your face on the cover of a magazine? Or how about having thousands of people see your picture every day?
If you have—we've got an opportunity to make you dreams come true!
On Saturday, May 17, 2014, we are shooting the picture that will be on the cover of the 2014-15 MEA calendar. This year's theme, "We believe in public education," will be brought to life with a group shot of as many MEA members and their children who want to be a part of MEA history. We want to showcase you and your commitment to public education and students.
We need bright, shiny faces of members wearing bright colors—please no T-shirts with slogans or pictures—and dressed in your regular work clothes or uniforms. Diversity is our goal. We want a representation of all of our MEA members—from gender to race to age to job classifications.
We also want to include students, so please bring your children with you to the photo shoot.
There will be no reimbursement for mileage or food, but we hope you still will make the effort to show your pride in being a school employee. This picture is planned to taken outside. If it should happen to be raining, we will have an indoor location nearby for the picture.
We'll be gathering at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 17 at MacDonald Middle School, 1601 Burcham Drive (east of Hagadorn Road), East Lansing, 48823.
Let us know if you'll be a part of this momentous occasion by contacting MEA Editor Rosemary Carey at 800-292-1934, ext. 6215 or at email@example.com.
Put the date on your calendar. We hope to see you there!

Mike, try installing with a small (20 oe 30 megs or so is what I use)
partition at the begining of the drive, and place /boot there. Your kernel
may be able to address the whole drive without any problems. A quick way to
tell if this will work is to try a boot disk (CD or floppy) and see if it
access the whole drive.
Actually, because the BIOS will not recognize the cylinder configuration, it
will not boot from that drive. The bios brings the machine to a full stop
when it tries to load the disk - no disk error, just a hard freeze. That is
why I am interested in these boards because they can be used as an alternate
boot. The only thing I don't know is if they will be properly read after
the boot without a Linux specific driver.

The Government is putting Auckland's west coast beaches at risk of an oil spill if it goes ahead with deep sea drilling, the Green Party says.
Yesterday, Minister of Energy Simon Bridges announced that the tender process offering up new permits to conduct exploratory deep sea drilling in New Zealand waters will soon begin.
Specifically, offshore areas in the Reinga-Northland basin, the Taranaki Basin, and the Great South Canterbury Basin will be put up for open bidding on May 24.
It will be the Government's second round of putting areas up for tender in a bid to attract competing offers.
In response to the plan, Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei told TV ONE's Breakfast this morning that she thinks the Government should instead be investing in renewable energy sources.
"We aren't opposed to shallow drilling as we do not want to see the country move away from this high dependence on fossil fuels and into renewable areas, and we think this is where the economy ought to be directed.
"But we are absolutely opposed to deep sea oil drilling, because the risks are too high and that is what is being proposed particularly for the West Coast areas just north of Auckland," she said.
Turei told Breakfast that she thinks the Government is putting the economic interests of oil companies over the environmental values of the local people.
"You can't mitigate the effects of an oil spill in deep sea drilling, it is too deep, the dangers are too great and the risk to the New Zealand public and to our environment is just too high," she added.
Yesterday, Bridges said that Government is "committed" to long-term responsible and safe management of the resources.
However, Turei disagrees, saying that there is no way Bridges could ensure such protections in future years.
"Simon Bridges can say what he wants to put in the protections but actually he cannot guarantee that," she said.
Turei also said that she cannot see how deep sea drilling will create jobs for New Zealanders.
"Companies will come in from overseas, they will bring in their own people to do that work, and most of the processing will be done off-shore by other people.
"So there's going to be very few jobs for New Zealanders here. There are more jobs in conservation and tourism in New Zealand than there are in mining," she said.

I am curious about the appearance of the ship in the night-time aerial infrared video and in the later daytime images. In the IR video, the ship appears to be at almost exactly a 90 degree list, with the keel well out of the water, whereas in the later daylight images she is at a 75-80 degree list, with the keel and most of the bottom well submerged (in fact, waves a lapping at the gash, which is located on the moulding between bottom and topsides. This to me suggests that the ship actually capsized and was supported at its superstructure by rock sloping from the shore, and that it later sank more fully, its hull topsides resting against deeper rock further off the shore, hence reducing the list.
This is a very disturbing picture, suggesting that the ingress of water
caused instability: can the sloshing of water, if taken on in sufficient quantity, cause this type of ship to become unstable due to the free surface effect? Is there insufficient impedance of water movement between port and starboard? This is reinforced by the fact that the ship rolled onto its starboard side despite taking in water on the port side.
After the "Herald of Free Enterprise" and other RORO accidents, one would think that this sort of problem would have been corrected for in all later ship designs. Is it in fact inherent to modern cruise ship design?

Partnerships guide the direction of WMSD reduction research, indicating responsiveness to stakeholders. The committee, however, considers the Mining Program's targeting of its WMSD reduction research to be largely reactive rather than proactive, resulting in accomplishments that are not necessarily applicable industry-wide. Since there is similarity in mining, civil engineering, and agricultural equipment, it would appear that there is a broader scope for the definition of WMSD issues and solutions through more rigorous and formal interactions between various NIOSH research programs and the MSD health effects group.

Free Syrian Army fighters run for cover as a tank shell explodes during heavy fighting in Ain Tarma, Damascus.
DAMASCUS: Syria's opposition chief laid down conditions Wednesday for talks with President Bashar Assad's regime, as world outrage at a massacre piled pressure on all parties to halt their 22-month conflict.
The surprise move by the head of the National Coalition, Ahmad Moaz Khatib, came after U.N. envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said the war had reached "unprecedented levels of horror," and U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon warned of a "catastrophic" situation in Syria.
Khatib said via his Facebook page he was ready for dialogue with officials from Assad's regime subject to conditions, including that "160,000 detainees" are released and that passports for exiled citizens be renewed in embassies abroad.
Until now, Syria's main opposition groups have said they are only prepared to enter into dialogue on ways to end the 22-month conflict if Assad steps down.
"I announce I am ready for direct discussions with representatives of the Syrian regime in Cairo, Tunis or Istanbul," said Khatib, who heads the main Syrian opposition umbrella group. "I became aware thanks to the media that the regime in Syria has called on the opposition to enter into dialogue.
"While it is not right for anyone to bargain with the freedom for which our people have paid so dearly in blood, I say there are basic conditions before I sit down with representatives of the regime."
But he added that "we cannot trust a regime that kills children, attacks bakeries, bombards universities, destroys Syria's infrastructure and massacres innocent people."
Assad proposed earlier this month a national dialogue to end Syria's crisis, but he made it clear this would only apply to groups not linked to the armed insurgency, effectively shutting out the National Coalition.
Khatib said the unprecedented statement expressed his own opinion only and that his group would meet Thursday to discuss the proposal.
An influential opposition group, the Syrian National Council – a key component of the National Coalition – swiftly rejected the proposal.
"The Syrian people have paid – and are still paying – an extremely high price for their full freedom and to get rid of every last remnant of this oppressive, tyrannical regime," the SNC said, adding that it "rejects any settlement or negotiation with the Syrian regime."
Khatib said on his Facebook page that he rejected being subject to "intellectual terrorism" in putting forward the controversial proposal. "If anyone thinks that no Syrian wants to hear such ideas, he is deluded," he added.
The National Coalition had earlier Wednesday lashed out at the "global inaction" which it said was giving Assad's regime a license to kill, accusing Assad's forces of being behind the killings of at least 78 people whose bodies were discovered Tuesday in a river in the city of Aleppo.
Witnesses and activists said all the victims had been executed with a single gunshot to the head or neck.
The Syrian authorities accused the jihadist Nusra Front of having carried out the horrifying massacre, but rebels and residents in the area said they had no doubt Assad's forces were behind the killings.
The National Coalition, the main opposition alliance, called on rights groups to investigate the slaughter and "bring the killers to justice."
The "ongoing global inaction toward human rights violations in Syria encourages the killers to continue their crimes ... The extreme complacency in the positions of most countries ... gives the green light for the perpetrators of genocide to continue what they are doing."
The Coalition expressed "shock at the new horrific massacre committed by Assad's regime against innocent civilians."
It called on the divided Security Council to refer the issue to The Hague-based International Criminal Court. "The world has abandoned its moral duty and political commitment to the Syrian people, leaving the criminal Syrian regime to kill scores of citizens using the most brutal and cowardly tactics," the statement said.
In Syria, the Local Coordination Committees, a network of activists, said at least 110 people were killed in violence around the country.

The Kardashians
Is Dancing With the Stars Using Rob Kardashian for His Sisters?
Rob Kardashian's odds of winning Dancing With the Stars keep looking better and better. Not only was the reality prince partnered with Cheryl Burke, the hit show's only two-time champion, he'll also have quite a lot of crowd love — from none other than his famous family. It's no secret this is one family who really know how to support each other!
One insider on the DWTS set tells Hollywood Life, "one or more of the Kardashian clan (like Kim, Scott, Kourtney, Kris, etc.) is expected to be in the audience for support every week."
The source also says ABC and DWTS producers are "very excited for that" because "they know the Kardashians will help boost ratings even more."
Hopefully they will also give Rob a leg up — figuratively and literally — in the competition!

One Leg Up presents an evening of jazz at Milligan
MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TN (Feb. 27, 2013) — The Milligan Arts Council will host an evening of jazz performed by the band One Leg Up on Tuesday, March 19, at 7:30 p.m., in the Mary B. Martin Auditorium of Milligan's Seeger Memorial Chapel. The event is free and open to the public.
Based in Asheville, N.C., One Leg Up performs a vibrant mixture of upbeat gypsy jazz, Latin, swing and original jazz compositions.
"One Leg Up is a very unique jazz band that specializes in what is called 'gypsy jazz' or jazz in the style of famed gypsy jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt," said Rick Simerly, associate professor of music at Milligan. "This is a genre of jazz that is becoming more and more popular in big cities and includes guitar, violin, clarinet and vocals."
Propelled by their self-produced debut recording "Gypsy Blue," One Leg Up soon won critical acclaim for their "hot club" prowess. The group was tapped to back up award-winning Spanish guitarist Pere Soto on some of his 2005 U.S. tour dates. Also in 2005, One Leg Up performed at a concert and book show with Michael Dregni, author of "Django: The Life and Music of a Gypsy Legend."
Over the years, One Leg Up has broadened its repertoire to include fresh arrangements of Django classics, vocal harmonies, original compositions, and innovative adaptations of classic jazz numbers in the French "hot club" and American "big band" styles.

Curitiba, standing some 3,000 feet (914 meters) above sea level on the plateau of Serra do Mar, is the capital of the progressive state of Parana . Since the late 1800's, Curitiba's bracing climate and picturesque location have attracted immigrants of Slav, German, and Italian origin. Curitiba grew rapidly after 1950 and it is known for the sensible manner in which it became a major city without losing a comfortable
life-style. The city derives its economic prosperity from its role as commercial and processing center for the expanding agricultural
and ranch areas in the interior of the state. The population of this environmentally conscious capital has about 1,500,000 inhabitants.
Founded in 1693 by Portuguese explorers, the small village of Nossa Senhora da Luz e Bom Jesus dos Pinhais was an early waypoint
for prospectors.In 1854, Curitiba became the official capital of Paraná, one of Brazil's southernmost states, known for the world-famous Igacu Falls, just
a few hundred miles away, on Paraná's border with Argentina.
The 1980s was a decade marked by widespread economic recession, rising urban poverty and increasing deforestation rates in
Brazil. Yet, now with more than 900,000 people, Curitiba rolled out a number of ecofriendly and social programs during the 1980s.
"Green areas" protected from future development were established in Curitiba, and a number of parks were dedicated to the city's different ethnic and immigrant groups.
This tower provides support for telecommunication services and its 109.5m height corresponds to that of a 40-story building.
Built in December 1991, it gives a panoramic view of the city. Visitors also have access to a collection of antique telephones
and video viewing rooms on the ground floor. The municipality of Curitiba runs visits.
This round building, built in 1874, was formerly an armory. An army arsenal warehouse for decades, it was made non-operational
and transformed by Curitiba's municipality into a performing and musical arts space on December 27, 1971.
Built in 1991, the Jardim Botânico is one of Curitiba's landmarks. Inspired by the view of the French gardens, its carpets
of flowers go though the entrance of the park. The huge green house holds a variety of botanic species in the water fountain.
Hercilio Luz Bridge
Florianópolis, the capital of the State of Santa Catarina, is located on the west coast of the Ilha (island) de Santa Catarina
and is linked to the mainland by the longest suspension bridge in Brazil, the Hercilio Luz Bridge. Florianopolis is a busy
commercial center. Industries produce metallurgical and electrical communications equipment, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and
perfume. The area around Lagoa has some of the best seafood restaurants around.
Florianópolis has 42 beaches, an international airport, various hotel chains, many restaurants and bars and particularly hospitable
people. On the 51km long and 18km wide island asphalt roads, vegetation rich paths, dunes, rivers, streams, and more extend
all over. In the heart of the island lies a large lake, Lagoa da Conceio.
Located in the northern portion of Florianópolis, Joaquina beach is the surfer paradise in south Brazil. As a stage for world
championships, champions like Teco Padaratz dominate. On a length of 2.8 km, the beach unites beautiful women, young people
and lots of amusement. On the bordering sand dunes, one can sandboard surf, which is a specialty of this region.
Navegantes is a pure beauty that Mother Nature gave as a gift to Santa Catarina. Great Atlantic beaches and beautiful mountains
complete a scene with comfortable inns. Beto Carreiro World, the biggest amusement park in South America, is just a few miles
away, and there are lots of opportunities for shopping in neighboring cities like Blumenau and Balneario Camboriuu.
Founded in 1848 By German immigrants under leadership of Dr. Hermann Blumenau, this city is recognized as the symbol of German
Today it has a strong economic position that is many-faceted and steadily growing. It is home to the largest textile manufacturer
in Latin America and the second largest in the world. Environmental protection is the Blumenau and Pomerode's governments'
greatest concern and the firms invest large sums of money to protect the natural environment.
The city organizes the largest German folk festival in Brazil, Oktoberfest.
Balneário Camboriu is the tourist center of Santa Catarina and lies in the area of the mouth of the Itajai-Acu river. The
climate is moderate while the average temperature from December to March is about 35 degrees Celsius and winters are very mild. The population is about
70,000, but during the high season, it reaches well over 1,000,000.
The main attraction of Camboriu is its beaches. They are bordered by Avenida Atlantica and are "the" meeting spot for the
city. One of the most beautiful points is Ilha das Cabras, which can be reached by boat.
Other attractions are the Santa Inés Church, which was built in the form of a straw hat, and the Santo Amaro Church, which
was visited by the king's family. Additionally, the Camboriu Park is located at the end of BR 101, where visitors can get
to know the country's roots. All of this is made perfect by seven natural beaches.

LEADERS in Narok have expressed their dissatisfaction with the poor state of roads in the county. Led by Daniel Taleng'o ole Kiptunen, they said at the weekend the dilapidated roads are an impediment to the development of the area.
Kiptunen, who is vying for governor's seat, said: "Some of the roads are in a pathetic condition because of the heavy rains currently pondering the area."
Addressing political rallies in Transmara district, Kiptunen promised to improve the roads if elected in the general election. He said due to the poor road network in the area, farming activities have been greatly hampered as farmers could not access markets for their produce.
"It is sad that the farmers cannot access the inputs and once they harvest their produce they can't access markets"he said. Kiptunen noted most of the roads are almost unmotorable due to its state yet it is located in high potential area.
"The road has made the farmers record losses and the state should improve it as matter of priority," said Kiptunen. The aspirant said that if this is done, it will improve the living standards of the residents as the area is leading in maize, wheat, barley and potatoes production.

Recent Fashion Ads That Were Actually Good
Though most fashion creative directors wouldn't know an idea if it walked naked down a runway, sometimes labels get it right. A London fashion week celebration.
1. Iggy Pop for John Varvatos.
Way back in 2006, before he made the dick move of turning the old CBGB space into his boutique, Varvatos shot Mr Pop in Manhattan for a series of bus stop posters ads. Iggy was an inspired choice at the time, since he rarely if ever was shot with ANY clothing on above the waist.
Pop has gone on to do more fashion campaigns, but this was his first big one — and best.
2. Lanvin's Fall 2012 campaign that used "real" people aged 18-80 was a nice departure from the hackneyed path.
More images from the campaign here.
3. This 2010 video for Diesel sneakers was so exponentially powerfully stupid, it worked.
4. Gaultier's "Lesbian Kiss"
This 2011 ad really confused conservatives because that's androgynous supermodel Andrej Pejic on the right kissing Karolina Kurkova. Any ad that confuses conservatives is a good ad.
5. Vögele (Switzerland) footwear
Cool campaign from 2012.
This conceit — using a combination of real models' legs and illustrations on oversized shoe boxes — is attention-grabbing and attractive.
6. Mulberry's Fall 2012 campaign, which unabashedly stole from Where The Wild Things Are.
7. That's what good ad people do, though: steal from other forms of visual or written expression. Model — Lindsey Wixson.

Fred Perry's iconic polo shirts set off the sportswear-to-streetwear phenomenon: the brand has long been an integral part of the British underground scene. Today, it offers a wide range of clothing, shoes and accessories for men, women, and kids, from sweaters to sneakers to woven shirts to plaid wool dresses. The Fred Perry polo, with its iconic laurel logo, was launched at Wimbledon in 1952 by tennis superstar and proto preppy punk Fred Perry (who, incidentally, also invented the sweatband); the polo shirt quickly spread to other parts of youth subculture, beginning with its adoption by Mods in 1959. More recently, the Fred Perry Subculture label has kept the musical connection alive, while a collaboration with the late, great Amy Winehouse produced several sought-after collections that also maintain the fashion-music lifeline: the Amy Winehouse for Fred Perry trench coats, bowling shirts, polos and leopard print shirt dresses have become as iconic as the brand itself. Other star collaborators, from rock band No Doubt to tennis player Andy Murray, have also left their mark on the British brand, while Belgian design maverick Raf Simons has most recently put out a sharp, mod-inflected collaboration -- think varsity jackets to complement polo shirts and chinos.

traditionally said to be from Krus, name of a mythological ancestor; probably an ethnic name of some sort.
Island in southeastern Greece in the Mediterranean Sea.
Note: Crete is the largest of the Greek islands.
Note: One of the world's earliest civilizations, the Minoan civilization, reached its peak in Crete in 1600 b.c.
Note: In Greek mythology, Crete was Minos's kingdom, where the Minotaur lived at the center of the Labyrinth.
now called Candia, one of the largest islands in the Meditterranean, about 140 miles long and 35 broad. It was at one time a very prosperous and populous island, having a "hundred cities." The character of the people is described in Paul's quotation from "one of their own poets" (Epimenides) in his epistle to Titus: "The Cretans are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies" (Titus 1:12). Jews from Crete were in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:11). The island was visited by Paul on his voyage to Rome (Acts 27). Here Paul subsequently left Titus (1:5) "to ordain elders." Some have supposed that it was the original home of the Caphtorim (q.v.) or Philistines.

I agree with the above, Mark, except for the provocative comment about "free political ads".
Folks want to hear from their Congressman, as the 725 downloads of the Huffman-Roberts debate would attest.
Again, that was a debate, not an ad.
Also, out last interview with Huffman is no more of an "ad" as the January 25 interview will be an "ad" for Kendall Smith.
Finally, I'm trying like the Dickens to schedule at least a few minutes with Congressman Mike Thompson and recently retired Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey. I think listeners want to hear from each as they move on in each their own respective ways.
We'll get our newest member of the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors, Dan Gjerde, on our show soon. MCERA Pension Administrator, Rich White, is also on my to-do list.
