Early snow
It probably won't last, but Munich, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Zurich and Bern all received a coating of snow last night. Check out the (nearly) live images on feratel.com. The Alps are also receiving their first significant snowfall of the season. Hopefully, this will lead to an early start of the winter sports season. What do you think?

Remember this video? It's of Cpl. Kelsey De Santis asking Justin Timberlake out to the Marine Corps ball back in July. This was right after he had egged on Mila Kunis to accept Sgt. Scott Moore's invitation to go to the ball with him. It started off a trend too, because Marine Sargent Ray Lewis asked Betty White as well. Mila agreed and so did Justin.
There are multiple Marine Corps Balls, apparently. The one Mila is supposed to go to is scheduled for November 18 in Greenville, North Carolina. The pressure's on for her to attend now, because Justin kept his promise and escorted Cpl. De Santis to the ball in Richmond, Virginia, on Saturday night. She met up with him at his hotel before going to the ball together, and Justin stayed through the evening. He looked pretty fine in his tux too, so that is one lucky lady.

Air New Zealand is in the process of fitting the 11 ATR 72-500s with the Armonia interior developed for the -600 series of the turboprop family.
The interior, created by Italian design house Giugiaro, is intended to boost durability and recyclability while reducing fuel burn through the use of lightweight materials.
Mount Cook Airline has operated 11 ATR 72-500s for Air New Zealand since 1999.
New Zealand's flag carrier placed a firm order for seven ATR 72-600s in October 2011 and received the first, configured with 68 seats, in October 2012. It now operates there and will take another in November. The deliveries will be completed in 2016.
Citing positive customer reaction to the -600 interior, Air New Zealand is installing the Armonia interior on Mount Cook's ATR 72-500s as part of mid-life upgrades to be completed by mid-November. It estimates that the slimline "Geven" seats will deliver a weight saving of 140kg per aircraft.
Air New Zealand estimates the cost of the interior conversion programme at NZ$3.4 million ($2.9 million), and that it involves 250h of labour per aircraft.
A second global navigation satellite system is also being installed on each aircraft's flightdeck. This requires an additional 120h of work.
Additionally, C-checks are being conducted on the aircraft.
Air New Zealand says it is now looking at aligning the interiors of its Bombardier Q300s and Beech 1900Ds with the rest of the fleet.

How We Can Help Those in Japan
March 13, 2011 Posted by Roger Overton
By now we've all seen the images, the videos, the interviews and reports. We know that the devastation in Northern Japan is vast and brutal. Thousands have died, tens of thousands are injured, and hundreds of thousands have been displaced. As Christians especially, it's important for us to reflect not only on supporting the victims, but how best to do so.
1) Our default reaction must always be prayer. If there's one thing the tsunami video has taught us, it's that we have little control over what happens. All of our plans and possessions can be wiped out in seconds. But the truth is that God is even bigger than nuclear meltdowns, tsunamis, and island-moving earthquakes. As Creator He is sovereign over all, and it's to His throne we must first go on behalf of the victims. John Piper has provided a prayer to help us pray well for them.
2) Give money, wisely. One of the many snares in this world is false organizations that scam people for "charitable donations" in these situations. The first rule of thumb in donating is to give to organizations that you already know or can easily verify their reputation. Secondly, give where the need is. The most common organization people donate to in situations like this is the International Red Cross. They do very good and important work, and I'm in no way putting them down. But there will be other needs that other organizations specialize in, and given that the vast majority of people donate to the Red Cross, I typically seek out these other specified organizations. Here is a list of four organizations I know and have donated to specifically for aid to Japan.
World Vision usually focuses on children, but in these situations they provide general relief as well. They will supply fresh water, food, and shelter, as well as caring for the specific needs of children who have been affected. There are likely hundreds of children who have been orphaned by this disaster, and many more will have special needs that their parents are not prepared to care for. World Vision already has a team on the ground in Sendai assessing needs and how they can meet them.
Habitat for Humanity specializes in building homes. If you've seen any of the tsunami footage, you know that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of homes have been destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced. After the immediate needs of water, food, medical aid and basic supplies have been provided for, home building will be the next major need.
Obviously, Food for the Hungry is about supplying food. What makes them unique and why I'm excited about supporting them is that they supply food through local churches and ministries. They provide not just physical food, but also spiritual food and a connection for victims to get to know and become involved with local ministries.
Doctors Without Borders mostly focuses aid toward armed conflict, epidemics, and lesser known problems. But they also provide support in natural disasters, especially when they have teams in the area. They have teams stationed in Japan that are already helping to provide relief. They are uniquely equipped with mobile surgical and evacuation clinics that be help in places where the local government is not prepared.

The Marche region
Many guests never venture beyond the local borders, very happily spend their time enjoying the dozens of pretty local towns, each awash with architectural gems, fine dining at reasonable prices and that old world romantic charm that is the magic of Italian medieval towns and villages in this part of the peninsula.
Just on your doorstep is the fine medieval walled town of Civitanova Alta, a small village in reality but with lots of fine old buildings and churches and a fine modern art collection in the local public gallery.
Down in the main town, a vibrant modern seaside resort which is home to 50,000 people, there is much more on offer with scores of restaurants and bar to cater for every taste as well as a thriving nightlife with many beach bars and clubs open until the small hours.
Civitanova Marche
Marche's major towns are Ancona, Urbino, Ascoli Piceno, Macerata, Fermo, Pesaro and San Benedetto del Tronto. This property could not be more centrally placed to take advantage of all of them.
Marche itself is the essence of Italy so be sure to take time out to travel along its scenic routes and discover some of the less travelled roads - you will be guaranteed a warm and friendly welcome, fine food and good local wine.

TRIPOLI, Libya -- Libyan security officials say more than 1,000 detainees have escaped from a prison near the eastern city of Benghazi in a mass jailbreak.
A government security official in Benghazi, Mohammed Hejazi, said the jailbreak happened Saturday at Koyfiya prison, as protesters stormed the offices of Islamist-allied parties in Libya's main cities.
It wasn't immediately clear if the jailbreak was part of the protests or if inmates received outside help.
A security official from the prison confirmed the jailbreak happened. He said most of the inmates were being held on serious charges. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to speak with journalists.
Benghazi's security situation is among the most precarious in post-revolution Libya. Last year, the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed in an attack there.

Hawks go 2-4 in preseason

Before I delve into the Atlanta Hawks as the regular season quickly approaches, I want to touch on a great philosophical question.

Great answers, guys.
A few things I never even thought of:
-Raising his arm instead of passing it.
-Punching his elbow to hyperextend it.
-Another one I thought is putting your arm inside his guard and moving the arm outside. Kind of the way you would block a hook. (It's kind of hard to explain)
I will try all of these in sparring and get back to you.

We actually use this technique to practice slipping. You have an advantage when he does that frequently, cause you know where his left hand is (pressed firmly to your forehead) . So only the right hand to worry about (neglecting kicks for now). I understand that slipping is dangerous in MT, but if done quickly with your guard in place it should work.
You put some pressure on his hand with your forehead, and than fake a left slip than a quick downward right one, coupled with a left to the body for example (you probably will need to add a step forward cause of his height) . It can also be some sort of a cross between a slip and a weave.
It helps to stand a bit tall and to have a tight guard over your face so he chooses to keep his glove on your forehead. Than when you slip down its easier.
If he is like glue, you again put pressure on his glove, and quickly lower your head to the left (careful of his right) and push forward hard at the same time coming in with a huge right overhand. His left hand should follow your head down and to his right..opening him for a right cross/overhand.
The important thing is to understand that it can be an advantage knowing not to fear his left, you just let it sit there, and when the time comes push hard with your head through it (and a bit to the side so it slips over the side of your head) while counter punching.
What Greg said about punching his elbow could work for sure, but it is just sparing and IMO is unnecessary dangerous technique, you could instead left hook his bicep.

I would say to slip underneath it. Throwing teeps could also work, as they're harder to check. Another simpler option could be to just wait for him to attack. If he's just resting his hand on your forehead he's, A) not attacking, and B) taking that arm out of action as a weapon. All you would have to do is wait for him to open up to throw a kick or a punch, then crash in with punches or whatever else you use to do your thing.

|Caber ends partnership with Protect-A-Bed, launches new coverings strategy
|Written by Michael J. Knell
MARKHAM, Ontario (09 January 2012) - Caber Sure Fit has ended its ten-year partnership with Protect-A-Bed and will embark on a new 'coverings' strategy at the Canadian Home Furnishings Market (TCHFM) this coming weekend, when it will introduce its DreamSerene line of mattress and pillow encasements to retailers.
Expected to ship by spring 2012, Caber said DreamSerene is the result of a $1 million investment and research program and was created not only with the consumers' needs in mind, but with their input.
In addition to providing protection against wear and tear, allergens and bed bugs while promoting rest and rejuvenation, the new line will feature tiered product categories - labeled 'value', 'good', 'better' and 'best' - to provide the customer the specifics benefits they are looking for.
The program will also provide training and resource materials - including a comprehensive product guide - to retailers taking part in the program.
"It has always been our goal to bring a mattress protection line to market that benefits both our vendor and consumer clientele," Bernard Weinstein, Caber Sure Fit's president and chief executive officer said in a statement. "This new DreamSerene line will give retailers the tools they need to enhance customer service and allow consumers to choose from a greater variety of products."
Weinstein said DreamSerene encasements have a variety of features including bed bug barriers that are 100% bite proof; allergy shields to guard against dust mites and other microscopic allergens; waterproofing; and, antimicrobial protection that should kill 99.9% of those bacteria commonly found in beds.
The company also said the line has received Health Canada's 'Class 1 Medical Devise' classification. All DreamSerene products are machine washable and come with warranty protection.
"We have conducted extensive market research and enforced scrupulous testing to ensure that this new line of products exceeds everyone's expectations," says Weinstein. "These latest developments are an opportunity for us to put our stamp on mattress protection and further demonstrate that we're dedicated to enhancing their lives."
In an interview with Home Goods Online, Weinstein said the split from Protect-A-Bed was amicable and the result of Caber's changing priorities after the acquisition of Sure Fit in early 2010. "We reached a stage where were our vision changed and we want to do more than be a distributor," he said.
Although many think them out of fashion, slip covers for upholstery seem to be making a resurgence. For example, in addition a line of traditional covers for sofas, loveseats, recliners, dining chairs and other seats, Caber Sure Fit is currently marketing a pet-friendly cover for most upholstery pieces.
"Our new tag line is 'covering what matters'," Weinstein said, pointing out that regardless of the specific product involved, Caber wants to add functionality and colour to the idea of protection.
"When it comes to protection, we want to be all things to all people," he continued. "We are adding a new dimension to the slip cover and TCHFM will be our coming out party."
Weinstein said he expects the transition to the new brand to be seamless and doesn't anticipate any service disruptions to the company's existing retail network.
During TCHFM 2012, Caber Sure Fit will be located in space 5006 in Hall 5 of the International Centre.

A tennis match that was suspended by darkness on Thursday, with SCISA defending state champion Porter-Gaud and 2011 runner-up Hilton Head Prep tied at 4-4 with one doubles match still on the court, could decide the Region III title and bracket top seeding in the state playoffs.
However, the match has been scored as a tie and isnt scheduled to be completed, due to the required travel for the Hilton Head team back to Charleston, according to Porter-Gaud coach Brian Burke.
The match was suspended with the Cylones No. 2 doubles team of Ann Martin Skelly and Grace Robards scheduled to serve while trailing 6-7 in the pro-set format.
That leaves Hilton Head Prep, whose roster is filled by young, talented players from the islands tennis academies, in the drivers seat in the region race with only the tie marring its otherwise perfect record. Pinewood Prep was missing two of its top players on Thursday.
The Dolphins already own a 6-3 win over Porter-Gaud, as well as victories over both three-time region loser Ashley Hall and two-time loser Pinewood Prep.
With a loss and a tie, Porter-Gaud has to hope that Ashley Hall (Tuesday at Charleston Tennis Center), Pinewood Prep (TBD) or Hilton Head Christian will derail the Dolphins before the state playoffs open the week of Oct. 15.
A year ago, Porter-Gaud lost both of its regular season encounters with Hilton Head Prep, but prevailed in the state final. The Cyclones had MiKola Cooper and Annie Hay as their No. 1 and 2 players a year ago.
Hay is all alone now to face the competition at No. 1, which is much more difficult as demonstrated by her one-sided losses to Ashley Halls Narni Summerall and Hilton Heads Allie Burak this past week on the P-G courts.
We dont have a runaway top couple of players like last year, but I like the way this team pulls together, Burke said.
As long as we make matches tight, we have a chance.

Gear Review
This is a good hoody. Comfortable. The hood is stitched so that it actually fits your head, as opposed to those cheap hoodies that just sew two pieces of material together forming a dome cone. The DWR finish works great, a light drizzle rolls off without issue, though I can't comment on the longevity of the finish yet. The torso is long enough to cover your un-tucked shirt. There is also an "Oakley" logo on the back, covered by the hood in these photos.
The sleeves are dis-proportionally tight/narrow. If I have a long-sleeved casual shirt on underneath, the sleeves will bunch up under the hoody and you can actually see the wrinkles through the hoody. A little disappointing. The thumb holes are worthless. I've tried to use them on several occasions but they are just too small and end up cutting off circulation.
Made in China.

ticedoff, thanks for your input. I don't think there's anything with my battery, I mean it has been less than 13 months since I've bought it. I don't think the battery spoils to fast, especially when you calibrate it every week. About the ceramic wall tile, I can get that but there's something better I am thinking of getting; take a look at it
It's not the exact same as this one, but it's the same concept. Also, the one I am thinking of buying doesn't work with USB, but with a power adapter (which is better).
What do you think? Should I go ahead and buy it?
I'm not saying your battery is the problem - I'm saying I think it was a factor in my case. Bad battery caused higher temps - and it shuts down.
What I have noticed is that if prop up the back of the laptop case about 1/2", it lowers the internal temp about 4 to 6-degree C on the hottest component. I use a a ceramic coffee cup coaster under the back and it tilts the case a little. (Ceramic wall tiles, coffee cup coasters - you can tell I am CHEAP).
IMHO: Any gadget that gets its power from the laptop is bad. They draw power from the laptop which means shorter battery life (unplugged) or higher heat (battery charger). So, if you need a cooler, I think you are right to get the one that runs on an external power supply.
What I've also noticed is the when I run VMWare Fusion - the CPU core temps go sky-high. Without Fusion running, the CPU core temps drop to around 63c - with Fusion running they hover around 80 and spike to 90c.
I would have to assume any program that requires heavy CPU utilization will do the same.

The Retirement Guys: Messed up Easter egg huntWritten by Nolan Baker Mark Clair | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Remember when you were a kid and got to go on an Easter egg hunt at Easter time?
I (Mark) can remember hunting for eggs but it seemed like they were the same eggs that my mother helped me and my two sisters color the day or two before. Am I imagining things or did I help create what I had to hunt for later? It always seemed there was that one egg we did not find until it started rotting and we found it through our sense of smell. These days the kids don't always hunt for the real eggs. It is usually brightly colored plastic eggs filled with candy. Back in the day, we hunted for the real boiled eggs and we liked it that way (on second thought, maybe we would have preferred eggs filled with candy).
My kids always loved Easter. I would like to say that they loved it because of the real reason for Easter Sunday — the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ, but if we are honest here, it was probably the Easter baskets filled with candy and the thrill of the elaborate Easter egg hunt my wife Lisa would plan out every year. At our house, each Easter egg did not contain candy, but a clue about where to look for the next egg. Kind of like a scavenger hunt. If you were successful in finding all the eggs, the payoff was a big Easter basket filled with jellybeans, chocolate eggs and those wonderful sugarcoated marsh mellow treats call "Peeps." I am kind of weird because I actually like my Peeps a little hard and chewy. I open the package and let the air get to them a few days before eating. I know — very messed up.
Speaking of messed up, we have to get a little morbid here and talk about the fact that someday none of us are going to be here. This points back to what Easter is really about — The Risen Savior. As the saying goes on Easter, "He is Risen Indeed!" But what about those we love who are left behind to carry on when we are gone? What can happen is a "messed up Easter egg hunt."
When we pass on, someone has to deal with all of the business we left unfinished. It turns into a hunt for all of the important papers and all of the information that is necessary to settle the affairs of the deceased. This is not a fun job and can be very frustrating. It can be like detective work piecing together all the information and, unlike the Easter egg hunt my kids went on, one clue does not necessarily lead to the next.
Here is what you can do to make it easier for those left to deal with your affairs. With each estate plan I prepare for our clients, I provide them a "location list." This is a list of where all important papers and documents are kept. It also lists things like bank accounts, life insurance, etc. You can make your own location list. Just sit down and spend a few minutes listing important items and keep the list with your will or trust so it is easily found.
Second, we provide a checklist called "Actions upon death or disability." This lists things that should be done that you can check off the list such as ordering death certificates, making an appointment to discuss funeral arrangements, notifying Social Security, etc.
One of the useful tools that The Retirement Guys are making available to our clients and those that listen to us at 1 p.m. Saturdays on 1370 WSPD or read us right here at Toledo Free Press, is called "The Survivors Checklist" — things that need to be done when a loved one dies. You can get a free copy by going to www.retirementguysnetwork.com and sending us an email request.
Don't make your family have to experience a "messed up Easter egg hunt." Take steps to get this valuable tool and sit down for a few minutes and write some things down. They will really be glad you did. By the way, if you use real eggs in your Easter egg hunt, be sure you find them all. And remember, when you think retirement, think The Retirement Guys.

Here's more, guys, from a witness: http://www.mlive.com/lansing-news/index.ssf/2012/05/lansing_resident_recounts_swor.html
Great questions Julie. I'm thinking it's a mixture of police taking extra precaution because the man seemed mentally ill and that he had the sword. I plan on doing more on this and will link to it when it's published.
Thanks for reading and raising some pertinent questions.
Interesting, Willy. I'm hearing the guy is a regular along the River Trail. When was the last time you saw him over there?
Also, great profile picture. Walter Sobchak might be the most quotable movie character of all time, and he's from one of my all time favorites. Kudos!
Thanks for reading, by the way.
I second that!
Tough statement on the mayor from SayNoToMillages. Thank you for reading and for bringing your passionate opinions to the comments.
A previous commenter had suggested using the term "extraction" instead of "synthesis" regarding the hash oil process. I agree and have made said changes. Thanks to whoever offered that astute observation.
Good question, Rick. I think it's safe to assume that was not the case judging from the 30 cent hike we saw this evening.
Sorry for the jinx, everyone!
I was driving along westbound Saginaw past Waverly about 7 p.m. when I noticed an accumulating line at Admiral, where gas was just $3.57. Naturally, I scooted over and waited patiently to fill my tank. Afterward, I noticed several stations had spiked to $3.89.
What are you guys seeing in your necks of the woods?
Thanks for your valuable contribution to the story, Silverdeer. I wonder, how long ago did you live in the area? And what other criminal activity pervaded it?
Thanks again, gobluecam, for your words and lending your expertise. You raise a great point: We should all withhold negativity and instead send our absolute best to the victims.
More information, folks. The victims are all men and all in critical condition at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor. Read more here: http://www.mlive.com/lansing-news/index.ssf/2012/05/update_lansing_burn_victims_in.html
Michelle, I extend my deepest sympathies to you. If you would like, I would be more than happy to write a piece about these victims by interviewing you.
You can email me at email@example.com or call me at 517-219-7989.
Thank you very much for reaching out here. I think I can speak on behalf of all of us by saying we wish you, yours and the victims the very best.
Thank you, mmgssc. You hit the nail on the head as to what I'm doing.
Thanks for reading, too.
As I reported in a previous story, fire officials do not believe there was a meth operation at the house.
Thanks for that pertinent and helpful information, gobluecam!
We already reported all authorities had to say: http://www.mlive.com/lansing-news/index.ssf/2012/05/three_severely_burned_in_lansi.html
This story is based off of witness account. No charges have been filed, and ages and genders of victims have not been released by authorities. As for damage to other properties, nothing severe, but several nearby houses took some large amount of smoke and ash.
Thanks for reading and asking important questions.
I have looked it up, and everything I've read says hash oil is indeed highly flammable and laced with THC. If you have a better characterization, please feel free to share it.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
To be honest, Mr. Dubbs, I'm not sure how the screenshot for the video is selected. Buur may be correct for all I know. But what I can say with certainty is we did not manually select that as the screenshot.
Thanks for reading.
Nate, we routinely FOIA for police reports and in-car police video in high-profile OWI and OUI arrests. We do not do this as a rule for all arrests, though.
Thanks for reading and asking a pertinent question.

In my last, "Just One More Bite" segment, I shared a tip with you about how slowing down and actually putting your fork down between bites can be an effective way to lose weight. Today, I would like to share another simple tip (Aren't the simple ones the hardest though?) that I hope will help you in your goals to a healthier body. It's called "Portion Control".
Cut Down the Portions
Uggh, those really are nasty little words aren't they? Well, if you're a hard core food lover like me, then yes portion control can be a hard thing to deal with. Let's face it, we grew up in the "Supersize Me" generation. I can remember when sodas were in 12 ounce glass bottles and then they went to 16. I thought to myself, "Wow, this is awesome!" Then they went up to 20 ounces and I actually learned what the capacity of my bladder was, but anyway, enough about that. You know as well as I do that our food portions have gotten larger and larger. So what do we do? Some might say, "let's start a riot and demand congress hold the fast food industry accountable!" Well, that is one way to handle it, but how about we focus on something a little different. Is it easier to change an entire industry or focus our efforts on our own behavior? I say the latter.
Here's a tip, the next time you go to your favorite restaurant, ask for a to go box right away. Immediately cut your meal in half and put it in the box. Enjoy the other half and start your journey toward understanding just how much your body really needs to survive. Not to mention, you'll save money because the other half can be tomorrow's lunch. The problem is we really have no way of gauging just how much food is on that plate. Restaurants are increasingly publishing their calorie content, so it is a little easier to determine what is going in your body than it used to be. Dividing your meal in half and putting the other half in a little box out of site can really help you take in less calories. The same can be said for snacks. Go out and buy the biggest bag of nacho-cheese-crunchy-goodness that you can get, but don't sit down with the whole bag at the couch. Get some baggies or sealable containers and portion those chips out.
What if Our Food Had Stop Signs?
Cornell University Food and Brand Lab, in Ithaca, NY recently did an interesting study about portion control. The experiment involved two groups of college students. They were given tubes of potato chips while watching videos in class. Some of the tubes had chips that were dyed red. They put the red chips in the containers marking where the normal serving size would be, which was about 7 chips. They also marked the 14th chip to show 2 serving sizes. The students weren't aware of why there were red chips in their tube, but it seemed they served as a visual cue to slow the students down. In fact, those students who had red chips ate 50% less than their peers. "People generally eat what is put in front of them if it is palatable," said Cornell Food and Brand Lab director Brian Wansink. "An increasing amount of research suggests that some people use visual indications such as a clean plate or bottom of a bowl to tell them when to stop eating."
This serves to reinforce the idea that using visual aid for portion control is another good way to regulate the amount of calories we put in our body. So what do you think? Have you found effective ways to control portion size that has worked well for you?

"No restaurant in the hotel except for morning hours. Noisy, street car yard is right behind hotel and runs all hours. 3 Parking spots that you have to drive between a post and wire to get into too. If you book a room with 1 bed, it's so small you can't swing a cat around in it."

"I had a wedding on the lakeshore and the location of this hotel was good. Parking was a nightmare. You have to park two blocks away and then walk to the hotel. Rooms were clean but soooo tiny. for what you pay its not too bad. If you just need somewhere to stay for the night its ok...to stay there for a vacation or a romantic evening....don't do it."

"Just a bad experience!"
"This place should be closed down. Only the third floor being used, no elevators and the smell of smoke was really bad. January booking and had to have air conditioner on all the time. Rooms so small you can hardly walk around with 10 inches between beds and the wall, not two mention space to put luggage. And the parking is two blocks away."

"Not HoJo Standards, no clean, dissappointing"
"Although the hotel was convenient to everything, the bugs sharing the hotel room with us were not so appealing. Howard Johnson's needs to do A LOT of work here, it certainly does not meet standards of HoJo's or most other hotels for that matter."

"It sucked!!"
"The smell in the room was nasty! the front desk staff did not know what they were doing. I came from an appointment from the Hospital next door to be rudely greeted by the front desk clerk who said I need to get out of the room for someone else even though I booked a room a month in advance. The only good thing we found was the location near the Hospital."

"Not having parking attached to the hotel was a wee bit awkward - the 3 block walk was chilly in the snow, but the cost of parking was good, especially when compared to downtown Toronto rates. Having the continental breakfast included was great, but it would be better if the hotel replaced the world's slowest toaster with something a faster model."

"We are travelers and have booked into Howard Johnson Hotels on many occasions...with confidence gained from previous pleasant experiences at Howard Johnson. However, this time we could not believe the run down condition of the hotel. It was dirty, parking is an inconvenience, (two blocks from the hotel), and expensive. The room was ridiculously tiny, with a sickening odour. Fortunately we only had small overnight bags which didn't cause a problem climbing up three flights of stairs...no elevator. The carpets in the halls and in our room were badly stained and filthy. The toilet kept running all night. The staff was not part of the problem, they were efficient and professional. Howard Johnson has a decent reputation to uphold and this location is a real blight on that reputation. Gone is the unquestioned confidence in their hotels, if ever we book with Howard Johnson again, we will most definitely research the location, or it will be because we will have no other options."

"It was expensive for it's location, facilities and food. I guess I paid more than what it was worth. Could have been better. May be prices in Toronto demand this, in which case my comments would become void."

"I had a room with an ill-fitting window the first night (317). The heat stopped in the middle of the night and not even an extra blanket or my wool coat on top of the regular bedding kept me warm. It was 3:30 AM when I decided I had to change rooms and proceeded to pack up my belongings and get dressed. At the same time screaming came from a room on the same floor. "F... YOU !!!!" no "F.. YOU !!! etc. I thought, how original. When I opened the door to go down to the lobby two policemen were taking a statement from a woman who was bruised and holding a towel to her hurt face. If my father wasn't dying nearby and this wasn't a convenient location and I hadn't prepaid I would never stay here. The next two nights were spent in a warmer room (208) but the staff had not made a note that I had moved the night before (there was a lot going on)so the room wasn't cleaned the second night."

"It was an awful looking hotel. We ended up not staying there, walked in our room and walked right out."

"I am a 45 year old male that travels 4-5 times a year at which time I stay in hotels all over the US. Never in my life have I EVER had the misfortune of staying in a more disorganized, filthy disgusting place. You should be ashamed of listing a hotel like this and taking money for booking it. Check in was at 2:30 and the room wasn't " ready" until almost 6PM. We showed up at 4 and had to wait to check in. I am looking into my rights with the NY state attorney generals office regarding this terrible experience. Mark Menafo"

"The hotel is runned down and is in need of remodeling. The location was right at the Street Car station and was therefore very noisy, the neighborhood that it was in did not seem very good either. The only advantage is that it was right on the street car line, if you don't mind the noise. Overall it was not a pleasant stay and it has not made a very good impression to even consider staying at Days Inn again. The first night we stayed in a small, dark, and almost clostrophogic room. There were many burn marks on the bed linens, walls, rug, etc. The pipes rattled when we used the faucets. The staff was able to put us in a nicer, larger room for the second and third night, this room was suprisingly nice; there was an additional fee of $20 per night. I would definitely not stay here again and wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy."

"No parking, no elevator, no curtain for bottom half of bathroom window (window faced main street), no closet, questionable clientele, very grubby."

"This hotel is right at the far end of Queens st West with easy public transport downtown. There's a 24/7 coffee (not good :) ) place right out side, and a little further down queens st a 24/7 convienence store(good) then a 24/7 inet cafe (best one I went in while there). So although it's on the outskirts of the city center it's well suited for insomniacs."

"This was, with out a doubt the scariest hotel I have ever stayed at. Are you familiar with the word 'renovations'?"

"There were ants crawling all over the place in our room (Room 211). I closed a bag of chips and set it on the desk beside the bed and by morning the bag was covered both inside and out with ants. It was really gross. Also there was hair in our towels that definately didn't belong to us."

"My biggest disappointment was having the street car station outside my window. The street car traffic did not stop until 2am. I would rather the room be sound proofed than have a window."

"I feel bad for filling out this survey so negatively but I just can't get over how horriable the hotel was. I have NEVER had such poor service. The room was unbelievable....the bathroom was clean but the rest of the room was ..well there arn't words to describe it. The floors looked like they hadn't been vaccummed ever, behind the dresser was a layer of dirt and old cigarette butts, dust everywhere, no to mention the room was incrediably small(which would be fine if I hadn't paid $120 for the night). I'm from Halifax and came up for the Dave Matthews concert and if it wern't for the excitement of that staying at that hotel would have ruined the trip. I firmly believe in praise when praise is deserved. When we talk about the trip to Toronto we laugh about the hotel and how disgusting it was....I'am sincerely sorry if this sounds harsh but for $120 I felt so ripped off!!"

"It is what it is, because of location and size. It was a convenient location for me to stay, so that's why I chose it. I would have preferred a room with a view and jacuzzi or pool and bigger rooms. It is a small old hotel and that is what I expected for that neighborhood. It was clean, had good TV's with cable. The bed was good and service friendly. Breakfast was just OK, but the restaurant was Indian, so that's what I expected. Probably has better Indian food. Location is good if you are adventurous and want to get into the local ethnic culture, which is a good mix. Parking was not the best."

2 Shouts - 251 Scrobbles
(From their myspace) Started in Torquay in 2004 the idea of Livin' In A Valvestate was conceived by lead guitarist Damian Seymour with the aid of his younger brother Dom and friend Rob Dowall, from the very start it was always the goal of the band to entertain crowds by means of a flamboyant front man and lead guitar attack whilst being backed by the solid foundations of a powerful rhythm section. Within a few months the band had recruited Matt Featherstone for lead vocals and Sam hall on drums.

This is one of those things that to someone coming across the debate for the first time seems utterly mysterious. Why should the United States have to pretend that Israel has no nuclear weapons when everybody knows it does? I've been reading the usual suspects on this for insight and ... not much luck. From the point of view of, say, Iran, it seems perfectly reasonable for them to ask why they can't have a couple of nukes when their chief regional rival, Israel, has scores. And how do you have an adult conversation with a country like Iran when we are required to keep lying about the regional arms situation ... because the Israelis want to have their nuclear cake and eat it too?
Since I'm a believer in nuclear deterrence - it worked pretty well with the Soviets - you could even argue that a formal, MAD-style Iran-Israel stand-off, like the US-USSR stand-off, would help keep the Middle East from the apocalypse the way the world was from the 1940s to the 1990s. But what do I know? Even hinting at some basic public honesty on this matter will presumably unleash another wave of accusations that I'm a nineteenth century Jew-baiter. But isn't it obvious that Israel would be smarter to develop a more normal relationship with the US as a sounder basis for its long-term security than the cloying and unhealthy clusterfuck we currently have? This gets it about right to me:
Maybe I'm missing something here. I'm not versed in the history of this. But it begins to look once again as if Israel is privileged not as normal allies are privileged, but as a very special case which has the right to have nukes, while demanding none of its neighbors does, and that we cannot even say it has such a capacity; that it has the right to launch wars and threaten wars against its neighbors, but its neighbors have no right to do the same, and so on. It doesn't seem healthy to me - for the US or for Israel.
