Historical Traveler Reviews Goodwood Park Hotel Singapore
Goodwood Park is a 'has been'
Often in Singapore and use city as a stopping of point to visit friends in SE Asia. Always wanted to stay at Goodwood Park as I liked looks and exterior charm, but never got around to staying until last week. Friendly check in, in what was a very drab and very dull lobby, Escorted to room, which was hot, dirty carpet, old and outdated furniture, bed was mattress on a wood platform. It is the only hotel where I ever did a bed bug check (none) Not even one comfortable chair in room and no desk chair, just a stool. Bathroom had only one extra small bar of soap; however, very clean. After 20 minutes room still hot and ready to change hotels we discovered reason for heat as AC filter completely covered by dirt. We went to night manager and said change us or we leave. We were then moved to a small suite, much better, with two baths, but still not great, but okay for our 3 night stay. This a 'grand lady" of a hotel with a great history but needs to be closed and given a complete face lift. It seems they have not made any improvements on inside in years. Even where they have done touch up paint and otherwork it looks if applied by 10 year old. The breakfast buffet was so bad did not dare try other food. All this is so sad as it could be a great hotel considering the size of the grounds and hotel location. The grounds seemed to be in okay condition, but not the tropical stunning beauty they could and should be. This is a "has been" hotel, read it's history, take a brief look around, dream of what it might be but stay somewhere else.
The Shoppers Oasis
Great Place! We stayed for 2 nights and booked a junior suite. It wasn't the largest suite I have ever stayed in, but still very nice and comftable. we had no views. No TV to watch from bed which was a downer (especially as the kids were asleep in the longue area!). The bathrooms were FABULOUS. Actually these could have been much smaller to allow for bigger rooms.
in room safe did not work. Staff could not get it to work either.
The Mayfair(?) pool was just wonderful. Uncrowded and definately an oasis in Singapore. We only ate breakfast at the hotel, which was buffet and just great, mixture of western and asian which was great.
Really good location to Orchard Road, and the bell boys were great at handing out umbrellas to use in the rain!
Best Place in Town
I recently stayed at the Goodwood Park Hotel and it was FABOLOUS! The staff is very friendly and helpful. There was no single person that did not greet and smile at me during my stay.
I tried the Min Jiang Restaurant which offers a fantastic modern Asian Cuisine. The 8 course lunch menue was a firework of delicious small dishes and a culinary travel through Asia - a true MUST HAVE!!!
Also the pool is marvellous. Actually they have two swimming pools. One to show of directly in front of the terrasse and one (my favourite one) in a little palm tree garden. Absolutely romantic in the evening.
What I liked was especially the cosy athmosphere and the PERFECT location in walking distance to Orchard road (1min)
Sad state of affairs
I last stayed at this picturesque and well located hotel in the early 1990s. I liked it a lot then as it had a cozy feel to it and because of its good location. This time, I was very sad to see the state of affairs. While the lobby and some of the public areas have seen an upgrade, the room I stayed in was exactly the same as it was 15 years ago. Old furniture, musty smell, sagging mattress and dirty carpet. The blanket smelled bad so I asked housekeeping for a duvet, but was told that the hotel does not have any. I wound up asking a business associate in Singapore to bring me one from his house.
Sad to see this in a USD 150 a night hotel. One of the staff I spoke to told me that the owners of the hotel have a huge family / inheritance fight going, that nothing is done anymore in the hotel, and that most key staff have left or are changing constantly. A typical example of a hotel that has is coasting on reputation. My advice - avoid it.
My Favotite...
I really enjoyed my stay at the Good Wood Park... excellent service... nice lobby... nice restaurant and a luxurious colonial style on everything.
I reccomend you to book one of the Parklane Suite... you'll feel like in your home... with the same price of a filthy european 3 stars Hotel.
Completely rennovated Goodwood
We stayed at the Goodwood the last 3 nights of our trip in Asia with our 6yr old daughter. I was a bit nervous on how they'd treat families but they were all extremely helpful. We were given a poolside room, which is great when you have kids, the double room had a living area with a good sofabed / TV you could separate off with screens (perhaps for business travellers). As the hotel had just been rennovated (at least this part was) everything was squeaky clean and very modern and quite stark. IMHO too modern - we had trouble trying to turn off/on the lights/TV/etc using the control panel - what's wrong with light switches? Beautiful bathroom, great staff and great location, just off Orchard Road, but still very quiet. AND we got a great deal by booking early!
Below expectations
We picked the Goodwood Park hotel based on the fact that it looks great from the outside, the dim sum restaurant is top rated, and people think of it highly. We expected it to be a lovely heritage hotel, with beautiful large rooms.
We were very disappointed with the upkeep of the hotel in general and the room in particular. The room was large, but the carpet and duvet were stained and old, the fabric on the couch was worn out, the cusions were slouchy and dirty, and the bathroom was very average. Clearly not 5 star.
But the worst of it all was the breakfast. It truely was the worst we have ever eaten anywhere in the world. The restaurant itself was very run down and just looked tired.
We were booked for three nights, but checked out after the first night and moved to the Hilton, where we have stayed before and will return to. Unless the Goodwood Park completely refurbishes their rooms and restaurants (they are working on the lobby), please stay away from it and pick one of the many other great hotels in Singapore.
Mixed feelings
I booked the hotel for my last stay in Singapore and made the choice mostly because of the nice layout and location.
I cannot say much about the other rooms but I was given a room in the mayfair wing and this room looked rather run down. Stains on the carpet, scratches on the wall paper, yellowish curtain rims, holes in the bed linens. The bathroom was not really clean and the coating of the bath tube was starting to peel off.
They were just renovating the lobby so maybe they will also update the rooms in the mayfair wing in the near future.
The service was very good. Only one complaint here (if it can count as one): my flight was leaving very late in the evening and since I wanted to have a shower before embarking on a 14h-flight I asked if I could keep the room longer. I was told that I could keep the room until 2pm (wich is only 2 hours longer than normal) - otherwise I would have to pay another ca. 300 SGD. (I had asked to keep the room until 6pm). I know this is merely a matter of how far the hotel will accomodate to special wishes, and maybe it sounds spoilt - but this is just the thing that makes me judge a hotel.
I loved the pools and the gardens very much. The breakfast was not very imaginative but still better than in some other hotels.
I would stay there again if I could be sure to not be given a room in the mayfair wing again. Or if they renovate it.
A favourite - or THE favourite?
If, like, me, you enjoy quiet understatement along with hedonistic levels of comfort and service that is entirely unseen until you want attention - at which time it appears by magic, the Goodwood Park might be your favourite too.
Comfort and luxury are up with hotels like the Savoy in London and the service is of a similar style but even better executed than the London landmark. I've been back over half a dozen times since I first stumbled into the place late one night after a long flight from London and will be back again this year (2005). I've stayed alone on business and with my family on holiday (three young boys) and the hotel and its staff were equally superb whatever my 'operating mode'.
The location is also superb for the shops of Orchard Road - just a couple of minutes walk. I can't recommend the place highly enough.

2 day stopover
... Apart from a bit of stress coming into the biggest of cities [google maps fixed that], driving was pretty easy. Mind you, the odd missed turn and getting lost did happen, sometimes with a good surprise. Kathy's wonderful navigation, plus Lonely Planet's help, made for a continually exciting tour.The ability to stop whenever a prize winning photo presented itself or an expansive view came up, to pull into a pretty picnic spot or an quaint town for coffee all made ...
Day 2 Singapore
... being able to wait that long for breakfast we eat at the hotel which is fine. We revisit the market for further investigation collect some fresh fruit. Notice what looks like Patisserie (Whisk Cafe/Bakery) & spy an expresso machine. Turns out excellent pastries & coffee only 20m from our hotel....great �� We decide today is shopping day so we jump the MRT & head to Orchard Rd. ...
A long Days journey Into Night
... Rob is frenetic - I had thought given he wasn't joining me on this trip all would be calmer. And yes I have to blame in part Rachel, by the way thank you for the room at the Leichhardt Inn, company and dinner, who planted the idea of congested roads to the airport. And so, 4am Rob is quizzing me on my packing, dangerous items, flammable substances, aerosols, sharp instruments and hand luggage. ...
Bummin' around
... bit and then hopped on a bus to the National Design Centre. It is Singapore Design Week and the NDC is just around the corner from the hotel so we dropped in for a look. Really interesting with some clever designs of everything from eye glasses to buses to bridges.
It was Singapore Sling-o'clock so we headed down for our nightly slurp, wandered around Raffles Centre for a bit and then headed back to the Hotel

he listen to the patients, he call and check on the patients and great bed side manner. yes I would ref.
Waited a long time in the waiting room then in a long time in the exam room, while waiting for over 45 minuted I could hear the nurse and doctor b.s-ing in the hall way. Doctor R then came in, inturrupted and talked over me, didn't look at me while I was talking and cut me off while i was explaining my symptoms. He and the staff are all very rude and do not follow up on things well. It took 2 weeks for him to write a perscription I had to call and ask for because he forgot to give it to me. He has always rushed me out of his office and never takes time to explain a diagnoses or answer questions about medications. He has never returned a call to answer questions about a diagnoses or a medicine that he didn't take the time to explain.
Dr. Raines seems to have a very caring and positive attitude. After almost 20 years, I'm still amazed at his ability to render a quick and accurate diagnosis without a painful examination. I've been very pleased with with his selection and results when a specialist is required for treatment. The office staff has been very accommodating with all of my medical needs and awkward time schedule. Parking is very, very close to the office door and everything on ground level, a definie plus for my generation! Dr. Raines and staff should be commended for their amazing ability to pamper and keep life so very simple for their patients.
I saw NP for injured shoulder on 9/4. I see her, because the Dr. seems aloof & preoccupied. He gives me the impression that he would prefer not to treat me. The NP he had prior to the one he currently has was a gem & she is the reason I stayed with the practice. The one I saw for my shoulder prescribed steroids & pain meds, suggested I get a sling & scheduled f/u in two weeks. I called prior to f/u appt for more pain meds because of severe pain (being in the sling led to frozen shoulder syndrome). She left early on the 2nd day after I called leaving no instructions for me & no refill. I cancelled f/u appt & scheduled w/ orthopaedic surgeon. After 2 months of physical therapy to get past the frozen shoulder syndrome & an MRI I was diagnosed with high grade rupture of rotator cuff. Surgery is scheduled for December. I have been with the same practice for 12 years & am not one to run to the doctor unless I have an urgent need. I feel that the practice has been neglectful & uncaring in their treatment of me. Once my surgery is complete I am choosing another PCP. I pay too much money to be treated this badly.
After a single appoint where I waited a very long time just to be seen, my overall diagnosis and treatment were never follwoed up on. come to find out the billing department screwed up royally and never sent me an outstanding bill. Never bothered calling or sending a letter. nice enough peole, but unprofessional and untrustworthy as a whole.
Office visit #1: Waited over an hour. I check from time to time on the wait during that hour. Finally, after an hour, the staff tells me the Dr. is running late.Office visit #2: Dr. Raines "isn't available" so the nurse sees me. She was great! Unbelievable experience #1: I need malaria pills for an upcoming trip. I call the office. They say since it's been so long I need to come in for a checkup in order to get the pills (instead of just calling them into the pharmacy) (btw, it's standard practice to have malaria pills called in if you're a patient of a doctor). I ask how long it's been since my last check up, they say, "less than a year" (!) but don't worry, we'll just bill your insurance (!!!). Um, my insurance only covers one "check-up" a year. Dr. Raines gets on the phone YELLING (!!!!!) at me and says if I won't come in I should find a new doctor.So I didn't come in and now I'm looking for a new doctor.
Victoria Family Practice provides a wonderful service. My husband and I have been patients for 7 years. First let me point out that the negative comments regarding the staff have been corrected. As of my last visit which was January 2011 the clinical and office staff is very kind, courteous and compassionate. The office staff tries to work you in as scheduling permits. I have been able to get urgent appointments the majority of times. In fact I can only remember 1 time that I had to wait until the next day. I don't recall waiting over 15 minutes to be seen. Most of the time it's within 10 minutes of arrival. Most of my appointments are with the Nurse Practitioner. I cant say enough about her services. She is kind, compassionate and is extremely accurate in her diagnosis. I have also been pleased with Dr. Raines services the few times I have seen him. I highly recommend Victoria Family Practice, they really care.
Had him for many years. Very good. Cares for his patients and helps them when need to.
I have been a patient of Dr. Raines for over 10 years. He is a wonderful doctor and the staff are nice. The older nurse is not nice but she gets the job done. I never see her smile.
I have been going to this office for 10 years. Dr. Raines has one woman at the front desk that is terrible but otherwise the office staff and CNP is wonderful. I can always get an appointment the same day if needed and I feel comfortable at the office. Dr. Raines is young but he is knowledgable and I feel pretty good about going to see him.

Asa's self-titled debut is a perfect blend of Afrobeat, reggae, soul, and pop music. The Parisian-born singer–songwriter (born Bukola Elemide) grew up in Nigeria, the home of Afrobeat, but was drawn back to France to record and produce her stunning debut. Her pared-down approach to music reflects the French sensibility of using the finest quality ingredients and allowing them to shine through on this sumptuous organic album.
Asa's adopted stage name (pronounced Ah-sha) means "falcon" in Yoruba; with the singer's easygoing sound, distinctly resonant voice, and fearlessness to broach any topic, the namesake is an accurate one. The album opens with the warm reggae-tinged "Jailer." You wouldn't expect the lyrics—"You suppress all my strategy / You oppress every part of me / What you don't know / You're a victim too, Mr. Jailer"—to encourage foot tapping and smiles, but the addition of the steel drum and warm hums and snaps frame her lilting voice so perfectly, it's hard to refrain. While "Jailer's" discussion of oppression has definite political tones, the song was written from a personal place in the singer's life, and should be interpreted on both a literal and an individual level.
Asa is divided between English and Yoruba with "Awé" being a dusky Yoruban venture into Afro soul. Without the language barrier, the song can be enjoyed purely for its gorgeous lulling melody that winds its way toward the listener like a boat making its way lazily down a river. Unhurried and sensual, Asa's rich vocals take precedence, supported by languid strings and feminine croonings that add a bit of R&B, for a tune as calming as it is seductive. After "Awé," the album continues to float off into the quiet calm of sunset, moving into the gently hushed "Peace," before finishing with the gorgeous Afro pop "So Beautiful." Sung in a mixture of Yoruba and English, "So Beautiful" is a touching yet powerful love song dedicated to a nameless woman. Her heartfelt voice is so ripe with emotion that the song is almost a ballad until the rhythm section kicks in and the song surges with fierce Afrobeat that boasts Asa's Nigerian background and feminine strength.

text: Should that matter? I don't think that it should. I can see how some would disagree, especially at the professional level, but to me endangering the safety of an opponent doesn't take in to consideration whether you knew that opponent was there or not. You take the risk when you launch yourself into a bicycle kick imo.

Cloud improves SMB security practices, study says
A recent study by Microsoft found that 35 percent of small and medium-sized businesses in the United States that have migrated to cloud computing environments have experienced significant security benefits. The survey found that 32 percent of respondents spend less time managing security or worrying about cyberattacks.
"There's a perception that security is a barrier to cloud adoption," Microsoft Trustworthy Computing general manager Adrienne Hall said. "Yet when companies embrace and invest in cloud services, they find the benefits far outweigh previous concerns."
The resources saved from not having to manage security are being reallocated to different areas of the business, including hiring more staff to enhance sales and growth and investing in solutions and services that give them a competitive advantage over rival firms. Another 42 percent of respondents said scalable cloud computing enabled them to expand to new markets more easily, the study noted.
Another report by Parallels found that the U.S. SMB cloud adoption rate experienced a 25 percent growth in 2011 to reach more than $15 billion. As more SMBs migrate to hosted environments, decision-makers will realize the benefits of the technology prove more advantageous than the perceived risks.

Read Poems by
Pamela Davison
I have dreamt of magnolia fields
Glistening beneath summer clouds,
Where childish fascination meets reality,
And it is so much more.
Aspirations clung to watermelon vines
And filled the air with persuasive appeal.
Yet, beyond these striking moments of clarity
There is much more.
So I exaggerated and expanded
My existence until the froth
Was perfect for your consumption.
Still, it was more.
Now I find magnolia fields
Cannot succeed your kiss
Nor lend me to a place
That is more than this.
I will listen for your melancholy
To learn of eternity's passion,
Where the secrets are held,
Till it becomes more.

One of the things that I did different: After I removed all of the skin and the meat after the roasting time of the chicken - I roasted the bones and the veggies from the pot (I added more onions, carrot and celery) on an oiled baking sheet and baked them at 400°F for ~ 30 minutes so to extract a richer flavor from the bones and the veggies. I followed the remainder of the recipe except I substituted a large dried bay leaf in place of the thyme, added some fresh celery leafs from a celery bunch and black peppercorns after all of the foam and fat had been skimmed off. I never omit bay leafs, celery leafs or peppercorns when I make a broth/stock. I was leery of using ketchup in a broth but I used the Hunts® brand of ketchup because it doesn't have any high fructose corn syrup in it. Note: I wash off the dirt but I never pare carrots nor peel the outside skin off of onions for making broth/stock because I strive for all of the natural flavor and color that I can get into a broth/stock. After all, the broth is strained well and the bones seasonings and veggies are discarded at the end. The end result was perfect for my tastes and the ketchup added a surprisingly nice touch of flavor to the broth.
All I could taste was onion. Added some salt which just made the onion more pronounced. Added some chicken base which didn't do much.

I like this Stock recipe a lot - I do however like to roast the chicken pieces before simmering. The long slow simmer is essential to a really good Stock. This can be done in the crock pot or stove top. This makes canned stock pale in comparision. Enjoy.
Easy and the smell was amazing as it cooked! I used a full chicken carcass that I froze to be used for stock. The carcass was from Spicy Rapid Roast Chicken from this site. I also added some fresh cracked pepper. After simmering all day and like I said the smell was intoxicating....it lended a very flavorful rich stock that was deep with color. I tasted it and it was delicious. It is now in the freezer for future use. Thanks!
Being a cook who already makes my own stocks, I decided to follow Chef John's recipe to the letter for comparison. His recipe produced a great stock with a fine depth of flavor. I live in an area with many butcher shops, not just supermarkets with pre-packaged meats, so obtaining backs and necks is easy and very inexpensive. The 5th star would have been given if Chef John had done as I do and added 4 chicken feet to the mix for more collagen and nutrition. Thanks John, I always read your recipes.
I could not find a package of chicken necks and backs, I did have a 3-ish pound package of chicken parts that I used instead. I did add a good amount of dried parsley and fresh ground pepper. This was exactly what I needed--it was simple to execute and it cost a fraction of what one quart cost me of the name brand chicken broth.
I give the recipe five stars
i always want to do what i can to save money and with raising my own chickens for meat and eggs...this is a great way to save even more..

This is a really easy project, but definitely worth practicing a few times before trying this on your favorite jeans.
Step 1: Materials
1 bucket
1 pair dark jeans
2 rubber bands
1 large bowl or other liquid container
1 bottle bleach
1 measuring cup
Step 2: "Crush" your jeans
Then use the rubberbands to keep it in a ball shape.
Place the jeans in the bucket.
Step 3: Mix Bleach
Mix 1 part bleach and 4 parts water in the bowl before you put it in the bucket (this is probably unnecessary).
Then pour over the jeans into the bucket. Add enough bleach/water mixture to cover the jeans. I ended up using about 5 cups of bleach.
Step 4: Wait and Observe
I checked on them by moving the rubberbands or pulling them apart a bit to see if there are signs of color change.
Different jeans, take different amounts of time. I tried 3 different types of jeans before these, and had pretty diverse results.
Love what you did with the studs too!

Huawei promising to "Unlock Possibilities" during MWC
We've heard a bit of rumor about Huawei and Mobile World Congress up until this point. Some of the earlier chatter included mention of a smartwatch, a pair of smartphones, and even a tablet. While Huawei hasn't offered up any sort of specific announcement list, they have recently dropped a teaser video. And interestingly, it appears Huawei is doing the teasing using Siri.

Miami University is under fire for a list that was discovered posted in bathroom of a freshman co-ed dorm titled, "The Top 10 Ways to Get Away With Rape," the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
This list includes a variety of illegal suggestions on how to get away with rape such as using roofies, preying on females walking alone, climbing into windows and slitting the victim's throat if the rapist is identified, reported the Cincinnati Enquirer who published the list.
Tip 10 reads, "RAPE RAPE RAPE, its (sic) college boys live it up!!" The flier was found by a resident assistant at McBride Hall over the weekend and reported it to the university's Wellness Office on Monday.
Discovery of the flier has prompted officials at Miami U. to launch a police investigation that may result in internal disciplinary action for the student responsible for posting the flyer. Police presence at the dorm has also increased.

Randy Shaw: The voters 2012 have heard it all before. Only Occupy offers something new, which is why its agenda of inequality and democracy for the 99% could become the key election issues next year.
DNA and 'The Banality of Evil'
Sikivu Hutchinson: Because Franklin and Turner are black male killers of black women, it is safe to say that there will be no cable-ready film made psychoanalyzing their childhoods, no Lifetime channel melodrama on the lives and last days of their victims trumpeted in flashy national billboard campaigns, and no pathos inspiring media blitz chronicling the anguish that these murders elicited in South L.A. communities.

The Mercedes F1 team with drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg head into next weekend's season opening Australian Grand Prix as the overwhelming early 2014 favourites, but other teams powered by engines marked with the famous three pointed star are also capable of upsetting the form book.
"Mercedes and Williams look very strong," agreed German driver Nico Hulkenberg, whose similarly Mercedes-powered Force India team has also impressed in winter testing.
"They're standing out. McLaren is also fast," he told Auto Motor und Sport. "At the moment, the Mercedes teams are a bit in front."
Mercedes' three customer teams – McLaren, Williams and Force India – appear to have hit the jackpot with clearly the best turbo V6 'power unit' in Formula 1's new greener era.
"At the moment that's right," Hulkenberg admitted, "but we all know how long a Formula 1 season is. Let's wait and see.
"On the last day [of the test in Bahrain Ferrari did a strong laptime, and [Daniel] Ricciardo has also done a 1.35 in the Red Bull.
"I'm assuming Red Bull will solve the problems sooner or later," he said.
Williams, ninth of the eleven teams last year, has emerged as the surprise dark horse for 2014, having switched over the winter to Mercedes power.
"[Williams] have never had problems in the tests, have always been fast, although not quite as fast as Mercedes," Red Bull's Helmut Marko told Servus TV.
Mercedes Formula 1 Chairman Niki Lauda said it is possible that the German squad's works team might be pushed by its British customer in 2014.
"It (Williams beating Mercedes) can happen," said the great triple world champion.
"Our customers are very important for us, and if they can beat us, this is also good motivation and a very constructive competition," added Lauda.
"We are careful," Mercedes' Toto Wolff told the APA news agency, "as some teams have not fully revealed the potential of their cars.
"I have no doubt that Red Bull and Ferrari will be strong contenders. Force India and Williams are also fast enough to win races. It will be interesting!" added Wolff. (GMM)

The Destination Product Award, which is given to the group or individual who has, through capital investment or public coordination, moved forward with a project that positively affects the tourism-related infrastructure in Essex County.
"On October 16, 2009, the region was shocked by the sudden closure of the Lake Champlain Bridge," said Smith. "This vital link between Crown Point, N.Y., and Addison, Vt., had been in place since 1929, effectively merging the two states and the business community into one, seamless region."
In addition to causing inconveniences and economic challenges to residents on both sides of the lake, the loss of the bridge severed a link for travelers between New England and the Adirondacks.
The Destination Product Award was presented to the New York State Department of Transportation and the Vermont Agency of Transportation for securing the funding, facilitating the design and building the new bridge, when opened in November.
The Tourism Advocate Award, which is given to the group or individual who is directly responsible for bringing a large group or event to the area resulting in a significant economic impact, went to the Lake Placid Business Association for the creation, promotion and ongoing development of the Lake Placid Holiday Village Stroll event.
The awards were presented during a ceremony at the Conference Center in Lake Placid.
"As the destination marketing organization for Essex County, we are pleased to showcase the people and organizations who have made the greatest contributions toward achieving a sustainable tourism economy for our region," Smith said. "I'm honored to celebrate the efforts of our industry's best."
The award nominees were submitted by peers and the winners were selected by the LPCVB/ROOST board.

Re: What do you think about Casey Cooper (COOP3RDRUMM3R)
Very difficult to sum the guy up. He has endorsements from Zildjian using the super high end stuff just because of his videos. On a personal level, it seems that a lot of people can relate to him (just a kid with no money who wants to make music and has a modicum of talent).
Drumming wise he is perhaps better than me at certain things, but there are things I dislike.
1) His attitude towards certain songs. I cannot remember what video it was, but he said he covers songs where he thinks the beat is bad and wants to improve it. I don't think he understands why beats are 'simple' in some songs. I say simple because while playing 4/4 might be 'easy' if the feel isn't there it can sound completely wrong.
2) He seems to just cover what people want him to rather than spending time improving his playing. Now he's got his endorsements perhaps he needs to work a little more on progressing (unless thats part of his contract then he will be stuck in a rut for a long time).
3) Songs like 'The Pretender' do not need to be improvised, but he jams over the top of them with stuff that just does not make sense. All he has done is bastardise what is a very good drum track by Taylor Hawkins. And people still dig this stuff.
It all amounts to a point scoring exercise. I'm very glad that he got declined for America's Got Talent, his playing is not awe inspiring. Fair play to him for having a go of course...
I only look at drum covers to get a reliable guide for certain tracks I want to learn, like Superstition, I feel good etc. The only purpose Casey serves me, is to remind me that not all popular drummers are superhuman. If one things exposes his playing over anything else, it's his drum solos on his big kit. Too much trickery not enough competence for someone who gives it the beans about how great they are.
I'm envious of his endorsements, he is a lucky son of a gun. That's all that I'm envious of though...

Philippines, China, Vietnam to cooperate in Spratlys security
China, the Philippines and Vietnam are to strengthen security cooperation in the Spratly islands after an apparent pirate attack left four Chinese dead there, the Philippine military chief said.
"We have agreed that we will continue our direct communication in the area so that these problems… piracy, smuggling, transnational crimes… can be resolved," said military chief general Generosa Senga.
Senga held talks with his Vietnamese and Chinese counterparts last week following an attack in late April in the Spratlys on a Chinese fishing vessel that left four crewmen dead and three wounded.
Senga said an investigation had found that no Philippine government vessels were in the area and that the raid was "apparently by pirates."
Chinese press reports earlier said that the attackers were believed to have come from the Philippines.
The Spratly Islands consist of more than 100 small islands or reefs in the South China Sea that are claimed partially or entirely by Brunei, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
All claimants but Brunei have troops posted in parts of the islands.

Claire Laurier Decoteau received her PhD in Sociology from the University of Michigan (2008). Broadly, her research focuses on the social construction of health and disease, the politics of knowledge production, and peoples' grounded experiences with healing and health care systems. Decoteau was awarded the 2009 American Sociological Association's Dissertation Award. Her book, Ancestors and Antiretrovirals: The Biopolitics of HIV/AIDS in Post-Apartheid South Africa (2013, University of Chicago Press) argues that it is through HIV/AIDS policy that the South African government has attempted to balance the contradictory demands of postcolonial nation-building – forced to satisfy the requirements of neoliberal global capital and meet the needs of its most impoverished population. Drawing on 30 months of ethnographic, discursive and historical research, the book traces the politics of AIDS in South Africa from 1994 through 2010 analyzing: the political economy of the post-apartheid health system, the shifting symbolic struggles over the signification of HIV/AIDS, and the ways in which communities profoundly affected by the epidemic incorporate culturally hybrid subjectivities, informed by both indigenous and biomedical healing paradigms.
Decoteau has begun two new research projects. The first focuses on epistemic contestations over definitions of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). She has engaged in archival research on the US federal vaccine court proceedings on autism where the controversial link between childhood vaccinations and autism development was forced to stand trial. And she has begun to collect qualitative research with Somali refugee parents of children with autism in Minneapolis and Toronto. She is interested in understanding what makes a group of people forge a knowledge community around a particular theory of causation. The second project focuses on women working in South Africa's informal economy and explores the relationship between 'transactional' sexual practices and sex work in contemporary Johannesburg.
As an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Decoteau teaches undergraduate and graduate sociological theory as well as courses in the sociology of health and medicine.

In an ideal universe, public relations spokespeople and journalists get along just fine. Journalists want to provide their audiences with fast, accurate information on topics important to those audiences. Spokespeople want to advance the cause of their organization by sharing its stories.
That's the ideal. In reality, however, achieving such a state of mutual cooperation can be difficult. Mistrust, unprofessional behavior, old grievances, and differing agendas can get in the way.

Baffling Bill the Magician, Entertainer Bill Schulert
At a recent school assembly, while making his assistant levitate, Bill Schulert (aka Baffling Bill the Magician) heard a young boy exclaim with wonder, "Wow! That's real magic!" With that single declaration, Schulert knew the show was a success.
"One reason this business is not tiresome to me is the feedback I get from kids," says the full-time magician from Lake Orion, who performs in the neighborhood of 500 shows a year. "They're real. It's hard to read adults, but kids, they let you know right away. They gasp. Their jaws drop. Their eyes become like saucers. As a magician, it's always gratifying to see that."
Schulert has been performing magic in libraries, school gymnasiums, private residences and on stages at festivals since 1986. Ninety percent of his work is for child and family audiences, providing him ample opportunity to work with and for children, gleaning insights into how their little minds tick.
Once after performing a show at the Horton-Colwell Opera House at Crossroads Village in Flint, was approached by a young boy who noticed something slightly off about a new illusion that the magician had performed.
"He caught this tiny detail that enabled us to change up the illusion going forward," Schulert recalls. "It was so minor, but kids notice these things. It saved me years of not performing the trick right."
While much of his work is rewarding and fun-filled, it does offer its challenges.
"Like TV killed vaudeville, magic is in a tough time now," he says. "There used to be a time where if you wanted to see David Copperfield perform, you had to watch his show the one night it aired on television. Now YouTube makes it all so accessible. People don't regard it as special like they once did."
This point was brought home recently while Schulert was performing the famous ring trick at a birthday party. In the middle of the trick, Schulert saw one of the dads looking up how the trick was performed on his smartphone.
"I knew what he was doing and tried to stay ahead of him," he recalls. "It's my goal to transcend the magic. Once you get past the tricks, you can experience the real magic, like that little boy did when he saw my assistant levitate. A lot of kids don't want to know how a trick was performed, and I appreciate that."

WORCESTER, Mass. - Holy Cross head baseball coach Craig Najarian announced today that the third annual Holy Cross Baseball Leadoff Dinner will be held on Wednesday January 31, 2007, in the Hogan Center Ballroom on the campus of Holy Cross.
The evening will include a silent auction of sports memorabilia, a Social Hour at 6:00 p.m., followed by a Buffet Dinner at 7:00 p.m. Holy Cross Varsity Club Hall of Fame member Rick DeAngelis '70 will be honored with a special presentation. Members of the 2007 Crusader baseball team will be on hand with their families, while WCTR-TV 3's Brianne Mallaghan will serve as emcee for the evening.
Worcester native and 2001 Red Sox Minor League Pitcher of the Year, Greg Montalbano will be the keynote speaker. Montalbano, a St. John's of Shrewsbury (MA) High School graduate, is arguably one of the greatest left-handed pitchers to come out of New England. As a college pitcher (Northeastern University), Greg captured two All-America and three All-New England honors. He was selected as a fifth round draft choice of the Boston Red Sox in 2000. The organization then named him its 2001 Red Sox Minor League Pitcher of the Year after he posted impressive numbers at both the A (Sarasota) and AA (Trenton) levels. After successfully overcoming multiple battles with cancer, Greg is now a pitcher on the Worcester Tornadoes (Can-Am League) staff.
Tickets are $65. All proceeds will benefit the Holy Cross baseball program through the Crusader Athletics Fund. Click on the link below to download a reply form and reserve seating today. Please reply by Wednesday, January 24.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27, 2010 Because unpredictable factors can affect the cost-of-living allowance many servicemembers stationed overseas receive as a supplement to their normal pay, Defense Department officials want servicemembers to be aware the allowance can fluctuate rapidly and without warning.
Tonia Bock, chief of strategic planning for the Defense Travel Management Office, said in a Pentagon Channel interview yesterday that officials are trying to raise awareness that the allowance – known as the COLA – is volatile.
Overseas COLA is intended to equalize purchasing power so servicemembers can purchase the same goods and services overseas as they could if they were stationed in the United States. The prices of goods and services overseas are compared with equivalent prices in the United States.
The price comparison yields an index that reflects a cost of living. If prices in the United States are rising at a greater rate than those overseas, COLA will decrease. However, if prices rise or fall at the same rate, COLA stays the same.
"One of the misperceptions is that it's always going to be there, [and] it's always going to be the same," she said. "But COLA does fluctuate. They see it as $300 one month, $200 another month."
Defense Department officials recently rolled out some new marketing tools to serve as a megaphone for the advice Bock and others are delivering concerning the COLA's unpredictable nature. The gist of that message: plan accordingly.
"One of the reasons we really want them to understand is this does impact their finances," she said. "We don't want servicemembers to make budget decisions based on this amount that comes in their paycheck, because it will change. It will fluctuate."
A safe strategy, defense officials say, is for servicemembers to budget their fixed expenses, such as rent and car payments, based on what they can afford without COLA.
A page devoted to the overseas COLA on the Defense Travel Management Office's Web site includes a full explanation of the allowance and links to a COLA communications toolkit and a COLA calculator. It also contains a link to a video that provides a COLA overview and descriptions of its key elements.
"We value the commitment that servicemembers are providing to our country," Bock said, "and we want to make sure they understand those extra allowances that are afforded to them. "But we don't want them to misunderstand and misuse the allowances."

Three southwest-area high schools could receive new buildings and another could get substantial renovations if voters approve a Houston school district bond package to go before voters in November.
The district's $1.89 billion bond proposal designates approximately $106.7 million to build a new campus for Bellaire High School. Another $64.5 million would be sued to build a new Michael E. DeBakey High School for Health Professions, and $107.9 million would go for a new building at Lamar High School.
Another $40 million of the bond money would construct a partial replacement for Westbury High School.

Music manIf a Northwestern musical ensemble is rehearsing or performing, there's a good chance Matt Honken is in it. He plays trombone in the Symphonic Band, Jazz Band and Brass Quintet and sings baritone in the A cappella Choir. His exposure to a wide variety of music genres will serve him well in his future career as a high school or middle school music teacher.
It took me some time to choose a college. Northwestern stood out because of its friendly atmosphere. All the professors I met went out of their way to make sure my questions were being answered. So when I felt a strong call from God that this was where I should go, I listened, and I've had absolutely no regrets.
Classroom calling
In high school I participated in every music ensemble. I really enjoyed learning under the teachers and built strong friendships with both my choir and band instructors. I want to be able to teach my future high school students just as well as my two high school instructors taught me.
Musical mentors
The thing I appreciate most about Northwestern's music department is that all the professors are both caring and yet challenging. They push students to make themselves better through their personal practicing and the ensembles we participate in. But the professors care for each student and are willing to talk and discuss life and other matters as well. They help us build a strong music department community and friendships that last.
Instrumental integration
I've deepened my faith at Northwestern. Coming here showed me how one can integrate faith into learning. In all of my courses so far, we've taken class periods to talk about matters of faith and how it influences the subject of the course. I really appreciate that perspective.

text: Alright, so we're taking this one at face value, but according to an admittedly weird report in Asia, Guangzhou residents should be on the lookout for a clever pup who looks mighty innocent, but is reportedly a "hardened criminal." After locating the dog in a Panyu District home, the owner was surprised to see the mysterious creature cease playing with his daughter, dart over to his cellphone, and make a break for the exit. According to local police, it's becoming somewhat common to see "thieves training canines" to sneak into homes and swipe cellphones for crooks to resell. While it would certainly be easy to brush this off as completely ludicrous, the idea actually isn't that far-fetched, as an English Springer Spaniel is already on patrol in UK prisons sniffing out and retrieving mobiles that were brought into the jails without consent. So if you're strolling through Guangzhou, make sure that cellie is well covered, cool?[Via Textually]

Green Mountain College Partners with Zipcar to Offer New Transportation Option
Program provides a convenient, cost effective alternative to owning a car that supports the college's environmental initiative
POULTNEY, VT - Today Green Mountain College launched a new partnership with Zipcar Inc., providing the campus with access to the world's leading car-sharing service. The cost-effective and convenient transportation option is now available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to all students, faculty, staff and community members, ages 18 and older. Zipcar is an environmentally friendly transportation alternative that supports the College's environmental mission - each Zipcar takes 15 to 20 privately owned vehicles off the road.
Gas, 180 miles per day, insurance, reserved parking spots and roadside assistance are included in the hourly and daily Zipcar rates. Cars can be reserved for as short as an hour or for up to four days. Rates on all GMC vehicles start as low as $8 per hour and $66 per day (24 hours).
The annual membership fee for anyone affiliated with GMC is $35 and GMC applicants receive $35 worth of free driving credit that applies towards their first month of driving. The annual fee is $50 for Poultney residents. (Poultney residents will also receive a $50 driving credit when they sign up for the service). GMC students, faculty and staff can join at www.zipcar.com/greenmtn.
"A significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions at Green Mountain College is related to transportation - according to the College's latest greenhouse gas inventory, travel accounted for 18% of emissions," Kevin Coburn, director of communications at Green Mountain College. "Participating in the Zipcar program will help minimize the environmental impact of travel for faculty, staff and students and help the college reach its ambitious goal of being carbon neutral by 2011."
Cars are self service; they can be easily reserved and accessed 24 hours a day. GMC Zipcars will be located in convenient spaces in high demand areas. Two vehicles will be located behind the Withey Student Center on GMC's campus. Zipcar even offers a fun and functional iPhone app that will honk the horn to locate a Zipcar and unlock the doors for members.
"In addition to the green benefits that the GMC community will receive, they will also experience a more convenient and economical transportation option," said Matthew Malloy, vice president of global university operations at Zipcar. "Zipcar will allow individuals to attend meetings, run errands and get away for the weekend without the hassles and costs associated with owning a car."
Zipcar has established partnerships with more than 200 universities including Middlebury College, Vermont Law School, Dartmouth College and the University of New Hampshire. Zipcar utilizes a network of local vendors to service and clean its fleet.
For more information, including how to enroll in Zipcar at GMC, please visit: www.zipcar.com/greenmtn.
About Zipcar:
