TravelPod Member ReviewsThe Gritti Palace Venice
HORRIBLE service when you get it, rude staff, and they charged us 375 euros to have a roll away brought in when the Starwood website states that children can sleep in the room (a suite in our case) for free with existing bedding. This came on the heels of them trying to force us to pay for a second room! The cost for services rendered are NOT worth it. I would recommend staying elsewhere where guests are valued and welcomed, not scolded and treated,poorly! This was the worst hotel we stayed at during our month in Europe!

Historical Traveler Reviews The Gritti Palace Venice
A place to come home to
I write this review in support of the Gritti that seems to be getting undeservedly bad reviews! Tommorrow I leave for my 6th stay at the Gritti. I have had only good experiences at the Gritti, including meals when not staying there. The food is excellent, the staff are perfect and the whole hotel is charming. It is an old palace, it does not have duvets, it has fabulous bathrooms and wonderfully large beds and it is very typically Venetian, in a wonderful location. It is a perfect location - go there in the winter for the food and a walk in the lovely Venetian colours in the evening. Go in the summer and you are met by private launch at the airport and share the facilities of the other 2 hotels on the Lido plus the Europa Regina. No it is not cheap but this is Europe and in comparison to other hotels of a simlar standard and location it is incredibly good value. I travel frequently and the Gritti is like coming home and the staff always know you!
A classic example of the Hit-and-Run Strategy
Hotels fall along a spectrum: 10/10 are those which you find such a fantastic experience and which, irrespective of cost, represent such good value-for-money, that you want to rush around all your friends and acquaintances spreading the word. The 1/10 hotels are those where the experience is so poor and/or you were fleeced to such an extent that you want to do the opposite. Rarely, there are hotels with 0/10 where you were so incensed by the experience that you want to tell the world and you're prepared to spend time typing a detailed rebuttal of some of the hyperbole written about that hotel.
The facts: One May in 1995, my wife and I ate lunch here, which was sublime. We vowed to return to Venice and both to eat AND to stay here. (NB at that time it was run by CIGA Hotels)
We have just spent 2 nights over a special wedding anniversary where, inevitably, you suspend a certain degree of judgment. The service at the hotel works on the principle that aloof, liveried flunkies are actually a substitute for friendly, welcoming service. But we didn't stay there to admire the sycophancy and the tail-coated concierge, we came to enjoy ourselves. We had a nice room (glass chandelier) and no complaints there, so that if we'd merely stayed here (preferably at some else's expense) and NOT eaten here, we'd probably give it 3-4 stars.
So what went wrong with the restaurant? Can't fault the ambience and if you get to eat out on the Grand Canal in summer then you've cracked it. No, there were only two problems with our one dinner there: its quality and its price.
2 covers at E8. "Would you like an aperitif?" 2 small glasses of fizz and pureed fruit at E16 EACH. Food was VERY average and could - indeed would - have been bettered in establishments charging a fraction of the price. My fish starter consisted of a huge plateful of bland smoked salmon+sturgeon (E29), that became an unwelcome chore after I'd eaten 1/4 of it; definitely a case of quantity rather than quality. My wife's shrimps (E30.50) were copious but tasteless. Mains were veal (E39) and beef (E43), both utterly unremarkable. Bottle of inexpensive but well-matched local CampoFiorin, E40.50 (>400% markup?), one of the cheaper wines on their list. Water, E9 a bottle. Now for the denouement. No digestif menu, but 2 grappas seemed in order. These came in at E23 and E22 each.
So to recap, that's E303.50 for food that was wholly unmemorable, apart from the price. Beverages E126.50. Grand total E303.50.
For those who've read this far and say What do you expect in Venice in a hotel of this quality? I'd agree, up to a point. But we won't be going back, nor will we EVER darken the door of ANY Starwood hotel for as long as we live, given that the instructions from the bean counters at HQ is obviously "Hit the customer, and hit them hard; Hey, we probably won't even own that hotel this time next year."
Not a Five Star Rating
Our experience at the Gritti (following many good experiences with 5 star hotels) involved us staying in two rooms - the first was a large, impressive suite on the 4th floor - very impressive, however, we were appalled by the linen and wool bedcoverings which were unbelievably uncomfortable!!! The staff looked at us in bewilderment when we requested soft cotton duvets, but they did acquiese in the end with egyptian cotton. Although the service was more accommodating than the general Venice treatment, the next room we were moved to on the third floor was appalling. We could not believe this sparse, cold and unimpressive room with the cockroach in the bathtub was a 5 star.....noisy, uninviting...all in all, the building itself is old and contains some impressive antiques and beatiful features, and the location is great, we would not return.
That s Venice
My girflriend and I spent a week end in Venice and I must say that the Gritti Palace is definitely what you would expect from the old Venice, opulent common rooms, high ceilings cheesy furniture and a great location along the Grand Canal. This makes you really feel you are in Venice The staff was efficient and quite helpful.
It was really fantastic to have breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Grand Canal although for the quality of the food which was really standard , 50 EUR seems definitely overpriced.
For dinner go to La Terraza of the hotel Danieli, the best view in Venice, although overpriced as well (35 EUR for tomato and mozarella cheese is a bit ridiculous).
BUT the location, the view and the so Venice atmosphere are definitely worth it!
Definitely NOT Worth the Price
Stayed here in January for two nights. Hotel was not full but we were never offered upgrade even though we are both Starwood Gold members.
Stayed in a non-smoking room on first floor which was in a word, basic - looked like it had been stripped. Definitely not luxurious or ornate.
Bathroom was satisfactory. Concierge was overbearing, did not make any effort to be helpful. Extremely disappointed. Will never stay here again. For the price, there are plenty of other luxury hotels in Venice.
Nice but too expensive?
We stayed here 2 nights in August. It is a lovely old historic hotel, but very expensive at 400 euros per night for a very small (but nicely furnished) room. Breakfast is NOT included and costs 50 euros EACH!
Suggest the Hotel Ala which is practically next door and half the cost.
You can still eat at the Gritti and see the boats - the Gritti rooms don't have canal views anyway
Old World Charm
My husband took me to the Hotel Gritti to celebrate my 40th birthday.
What a way to enter middle-age! I may be 40 again next year.... The hotel is old but certainly no worse for wear. We were lucky and got a room with a view of St. Salute. It was magnificent. The room was huge and well appointed. The bathroom was good size as well, done in marble with a jacuzzi bath and had good amenities including comfy slippers.
After walking and walking and walking you defintely need those! Service was very good! The only negative was the food. We arrived late the first evening and ate at the hotel...it might was well have been Chef Boy Ar Dee. Truly terrible but that was the only bad thing. The hotel concierge arranged for a gondola ride at a reduced rate and for a water taxi back to the hotel. What a way to go.....I felt like a princess.
The location is very good and quiet yet still near all the major sites.
Give it a try and you will not be disappointed.
Expensive but a real experience
We stayed here in March 2001 and paid just under $300 per night for our room, which was an Internet special.
The rooms were very nice, and the hotel staff was curteous as well. A drink on the dock area overlooking the Grand Canal is to be savored.
We're staying somewhere a little more affordable on our next Venice trip, but our stay at the Gritti Palace will always be remembered, and eventually repeated, we hope.
Not worth it
This is a very good example of a hotel living on his name . This hotel is really old, I mean old... even the carpets of the more than ordinary rooms ( I visit 4 of them ) were old . Although I was not paying anything if you could chose , take anothe hotel. The location is magnificent ( perhaps the only good about this hotel together with the housekeeping) .
A lot more could be done regarding the rooms ....
for me was quite a deception. Room 138 was nice but very small.
Expensive but charming
The Gritti is expensive, there's no doubt. (I didn't pay as I used Starwood reward points, which may cloud my view.) This is because it is a big old (ie expensive upkeep) building with only 93 rooms. However, money aside, this is a nice place. The room decor (traditional venetian style - think aristocratic English with a twist) is certainly novel although not for fans of minimalism. Bathrooms are modern marble. Rooms are of average size and only a few have any sort of view. However, the public areas are copious and wonderfully decorated, as is the bar and restaurant terrace overlooking the Grand Canal where you could happily sit for hours watching the world go by. The staff are also charming and helpful. The best feature, however, is the hourly free motor boat service connecting the Gritti (and the Europa and Danieli) to the Lido hotels, where you are free to use their pools and beaches and charge food and drink to your Gritti room. Worst point - Euro 48 for buffet breakfast!!

Venezia: The Floating City
... maybe but probably* home of Marco Polo. Our tour ended with the famous Rialto Bridge. It was a bummer that I was unable to snap a good picture of the iconic sides of it due to construction. I can say that we at least walked across it, however! After our tour we went in search for a quick lunch. We ended up discovering a little stand-up sandwich shop where you could order sliders with all different types of Italian meat and cheese on them. They were so good! ...

... watch Al make his way down the aisle toward me with his cart, he says, "Shh, sweetie, you have to sit down." Pippy is oblivious but Al keeps his cool. He is a big man and in appearance unlike any flight attendant I can recall. Bearded, he wears his short sleeved uniform shirt open two buttons at the neck so that his crucifix is properly framed as it lies in a snug bed of chest hair. A well trimmed beard frames his face as his thinning crop of head hair betrays ...

We arrive back to the far side of the Venice island in the dark although not too much after 6pm.

We wanted to get the most out of our 24hr vaporetto ticket so took a ride up and down the Grand Canal by night - very lovely!

Fridge: The Dark Tower
Fridge Brilliance
- The Snicket Warning Label before the Coda describing what Roland finds in the Dark Tower makes more sense when you consider that Roland has already saved the Tower by destroying Algul Siento. Getting inside the Dark Tower was a personal obsession of Roland's and an end unto itself. What he found inside doesn't matter because he had nothing left to accomplish.
- It urges the reader to let the story end with Roland walking into the Dark Tower. It adds that the following pages are only for those readers unwilling to let fictional characters go to the Grey Havens (a Lord of the Rings reference) and take their rest. So in other words, when Roland reaches the top and is reset to the beginning of the first book, it can be seen as a You Bastard take on readers who can't let a story or characters go and start reading again from the start.
- Roland is, in some ways, an Author Avatar of Stephen King. When they meet, they're described as looking very similar, not quite twins but easily mistaken for father and son. Roland's father's name is Steven. Also, a characte explicitely notes that the similarity in names of the Crimson King and Stephen King.
- The idea that Roland's constant recourse to ka throughout the previous books is not out of any genuine sense of destiny, but simply because he has trodden this same path so many times that on some level he remembers what's coming.
- In-universe example in The Dark Tower series - when Eddie and (O)Detta come to Roland's world, the first explanation they get for its state of repair is "The world has moved on". Both new arrivals regard the wide open spaces and total solitude of the place very romantic. Then they get to Lud, and my, their opinion changes...

Water Cooler Wars: Battle Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees
Jake: The Zombies
I don't know about you, but these arguments between Michael and I don't have a chance if he takes the easy way out. Usually, you can count on Michael to argue something that is tough to debate, but this time he has jumped the shark on me and said that (gasp!) Nirvana should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Do you know who most of the voters are going to be that vote for the Hall of Fame in the Rock and Roll genre? People who understand influence when they see it hitting them in the face. To deny Nirvana would be tantamount to denying The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. The band was that influential and that good.
But I take the road less traveled where my suggestion for top nominee is concerned. I say it should be the British '60s band The Zombies.
The Zombies didn't write a whole ton of songs and didn't release a mess of albums. The band only put out two albums in its heyday and really doesn't have anything that makes people stand up and say, "I love The Zombies."
But what it does have is panache. It has that British rock-band feel about it that makes people, to this day, stand up and take notice. And The Zombies has history that doesn't involve suicide, strange press tactics or, most importantly, anyone named Hall or Oates.
English rock bands were pretty much a dime a dozen back in the '60s. Everyone with an English accent was trying to cash in on The Beatles success in the states and they were doing it with covers and knock-off songs and the like. But not The Zombies. These guys were so good they are said to have had a profound effect on The Beatles themselves. In other words, it's possible that without The Zombies there would be no Beatles, and without the Beatles you can be sure there would have been no Nirvana.
The other great thing about The Zombies is that it did it in true British style. The British television that is so great today knows that it's all about quality, not quantity, and that when you do you best work, it's best to roll it all out and get it over with.
That's what The Zombies did, and it's what American television and music could learn a thing or three from today. The Zombies could teach the likes of Mylie Cyrus, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber something about being a professional, an influence and a musician. The Zombies could teach a generation of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame attendees about great music even in a quick career. The Zombies can show that music is more than the people we say are popular or still play arenas at age 70.
So, I say we go with The Zombies as a guaranteed pick for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
After all, 'tis the season, right?
Michael: Nirvana
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recently announced its potential class of 2014, with nominees as diverse as KISS, the NWA, Linda Ronstadt and Hall and Oates.
A fair amount of criticism has been lobbed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame based on voting practices and the fact that the foundation that controls it is run by a few people who are not musicians but are only associated with the music business. The most entertaining critique of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame came in the form of a crudely written note from the Sex Pistols, most of which cannot be reprinted in this magazine.
For all its critics, I do think the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame serves a purpose. However, I do like to pick my winners and none seems to be more deserving this year than Nirvana.
I'll even make that claim while admitting I was never that big of a Nirvana fan. I liked "Nevermind" and "In Utero" and I always though Kurt Cobain came across as entertaining in interviews in a frustratingly elusive kind of way, all hidden behind greasy blonde locks and a haze of cigarette smoke. This was a malcontent that just about everyone in the same age group at the time could identify with, and he even came complete with a spouse that he didn't seem to like very much.
However, much like my distaste for the Beatles — go ahead, get it out of your system and then come back to the story; I'll still be here when you get back — I can't deny the effect that Nirvana and its music had on popular culture and "rock and roll." If you hear "Smells Like Teen Spirit" or "Heart Shaped Box" on the radio today and haven't heard it in a while, it actually sounds brand new. It still sounds vital and important even though you might have heard it a thousand times. For better or worse, the band became a symbol for grunge and helped usher in a new era of introspective, heavy rock that lasted for decades, and the band still influences acts today. The band was my generation's Sex Pistols, tragedy and all.
That's why when Nirvana is nominated next to the likes of a marketing machine that happens to perform music like KISS or the bloated catalog of Yes, I just don't see a comparison. The only other shoe-ins this year should be Cat Stevens and LL Cool J, but when it comes to Nirvana they might as well not even bother counting votes.

Fantastic place for our last night in Puerto Rico. We'd traveled a little around the island and stayed in a few different places, but this lives up to the best place to stay in Puerto Rico as TA reviews recommend. Restaurant had great tapas in El Picoteo (went twice it was that good), enchanting courtyard layout and was in an ideal location from our point of view (although SJ is tiny to be fair!). Great staff too keeping the hotel a top destination.
Loved the rooms, with high ceilings and great attention to detail including an old radio built into the bedside table (didn't work though!). Turn down service was a nice touch. We booked the hotel through Expedia and went for the Queen Deluxe as that has a small balcony (no standing room) and is slightly bigger, I'd say worth it for the extra when in this price range. Note for comparing prices, Expedia shows the price including the resort fee in taxes and fees cost, but some other sites didn't so could make for a big surprise...
The rooftop pool area with hot tub, and the tiniest pool I've ever seen was really nice and a secluded paradise to relax in. Refreshments (wide selection of quality tea, coffee, water and fruit) were available in the library all the time which was just below the pool area.
Evening wine and cheese platter was excellent, with a great selection of wines and regular top ups of both. Staff were great in every interaction, they are clearly key to the success here.
Simply cannot fault this place for anything except maybe the expensive price tag, but then you do get what you pay for!

"Great replacement for my old panels"
By remodeling from NC
When I moved into my home there was an old panel track system in place over the sliding glass doors in my family. I have never liked them, but I like the panel track system. I was so glad to find your site when looking for replacement panels. I am so glad I decided to replace the whole system. The valance and the bottom detail make these very elegant. They look great.View this product

On Hardball, NBC News' David Gregory repeated the Bush administration's defense of President Bush's alleged authorization of a leak of classified information to the press in 2003. Gregory cited White House officials' argument that "the reality is, once the president makes a decision to authorize the release of information, it's no longer classified, it's instantly declassified." Host Chris Matthews challenged Gregory's assertion, noting that it "doesn't hold up."
CNN's David Ensor claimed that a 2003 executive order "makes clear that the president and the vice president can order aides," such as Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, "to give any classified material they want to a reporter." Similarly, in his New York Post column, John Podhoretz, citing a 1982 executive order, claimed that President Bush "can declassify a document merely by declaring it unclassified."
In reporting on the disclosure that President Bush authorized a leak of classified information to the press in 2003, The Wall Street Journal ignored the apparent contradiction between the president's actions and his oft-stated aversion to leaks of classified information.
On Hardball, NBC News' David Gregory repeated the false statement that Joseph C. Wilson IV "alleges" that Vice President Dick Cheney "set up" Wilson's CIA-sponsored trip to investigate reports that Saddam Hussein's regime had purchased yellowcake uranium from Niger, and "that Cheney knew ... that [Wilson] was going and knew of his findings." In fact, Wilson has never claimed that Cheney or Cheney's office sent him to Niger; rather, Wilson has maintained that he was dispatched by the CIA and that Cheney did not know that Wilson went to Niger.
In a column for The Wall Street Journal's OpinionJournal.com, deputy editorial page editor Daniel Henninger claimed that the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by insurgents in Iraq "qualifies as a weapon of mass destruction" because the "mass media distribute the dead, dismembered victims into our living rooms morning and night."
Substituting for host Bill O'Reilly on The Radio Factor, Michael Smerconish repeatedly discussed "the sissification of America," claiming that political correctness has made the United States "a nation of sissies."
Over the span of two weeks, Washington Times chief political correspondent Donald Lambro has apparently reversed his support of continued U.S. military action in Iraq, without acknowledging that he has done so.
CNN's David Ensor, reporting on the revelation that President Bush "authorized" the disclosure of classified portions of the 2002 National Intelligence Estimate pertaining to Iraq's purported weapons of mass destruction, simply asserted without elaboration that unnamed "experts" say Bush's actions were "legal," and that the president has "the right" to declassify such information. Similarly, Fox News' Brit Hume said that both Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney "have the legal authority under an executive order signed by the president to make public classified information. So that takes the unauthorized out of it." Neither Ensor nor Hume challenged the notion that the president has the authority to leak classified information, questioned whether Bush -- assuming he has that authority -- properly declassified the information, or made any effort to explore the ramifications of the president's exercise of that alleged authority.
On Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace offered up a series of false or misleading statements regarding President Bush's authorization of a warrantless domestic wiretapping program conducted by the National Security Agency.
Just days after the Democratic Party released a national security plan, CNN host Wolf Blitzer and NBC Today host Matt Lauer simply ignored the release and allowed -- and even encouraged -- Republican guests to suggest the Democrats have no "agenda." This continues patterns by CNN and Today of largely ignoring the Democrats' security plan, despite repeatedly reporting or commenting on the Democratic Party's purported lack of clear alternatives to the Republicans.
During an interview with Al Franken, Tim Russert objected to Franken's assertion that "[President] Bush and [Vice President Dick] Cheney did explicitly link Iraq to 9-11 on several occasions, especially when speaking to the naïve Russert." In fact, Cheney twice directly linked Iraq to the 9-11 attacks while appearing on Russert's NBC program Meet the Press. Additionally, while Bush "never brought ... up" the purported Iraqi link to 9-11 during a 2004 Meet the Press interview, neither did Russert, who could have asked Bush to explain a letter he sent to Congress shortly after the start of the Iraq war, in which he explicitly linked Iraq to 9-11.
In keeping with a pattern at The Washington Post, Shailagh Murray and Howard Kurtz dismissed suggestions that the Post should follow up on a National Journal article on an internal Bush administration review, which found that President Bush had been specifically advised that claims he made during his 2003 State of the Union address about Iraq's nuclear program might not be true. Despite the Post's failure to report on the revelation, Murray suggested readers already knew "that Bush had some indication" the intelligence he cited "was faulty."
On NBC's Meet the Press, host Tim Russert did not challenge Sen. John McCain's assertion that the Bush administration's false prewar claims about Iraq represented a "colossal intelligence failure" and that "[e]very intelligence agency in the world believed that he [former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein] had weapons of mass destruction." In fact, many of the Bush administration's most dramatic prewar claims -- about Iraq's supposed nuclear program, its alleged ties to Al Qaeda, and its willingness to attack the United States -- had been questioned by U.S. intelligence agencies.
Following recent demonstrations in which protesters marched against proposed legislation that would criminalize undocumented workers, some in the media have criticized the demonstrators for carrying Mexican flags. But these same media figures have not complained about people waving other nations' flags, such as Irish flags at St. Patrick's Day events, Italian flags at Columbus Day events, or Israeli flags at Israel Day events.
CNN Reliable Sources host Howard Kurtz noted that Christian Science Monitor reporter Jill Carroll, released on March 30 by Iraqi insurgents who had held her for 82 days, had "been criticized and had her motives questioned by skeptics, critics, and conspiracy theorists here at home." But Kurtz seemed to have forgotten that he had joined numerous right-wing media figures in questioning the motives behind her statements.

From there we ventured to the Nagoya, the type of classy establishment that I rarely set foot into. Their list of sushi rolls was more extensive than the beer varieties at the Thirsty Pirate.
Val and Schram ordered five rolls of raw fish. Waitress Kim Johnson was kind, patient and helpful. She soon carried a platter of the most colorful food I've ever had brought to my table at any restaurant. It was a nicely done presentation. And it was, well, darn tasty.
My co-angler partner for the second and final day of the tournament was Paul Long of Sunbury, Ohio. Long is a bass nut and a professional chef who works 60 to 70 hours a week at a country club. His girlfriend bought the entry to the Open tournament as a surprise gift.
Long obviously has a winner of a girlfriend. This was his first major tournament and he was enjoying every second of it.
He failed to catch a bass on the first day. His partner, Jonathon VanDam, a former Northern Open winner here, had caught only three bass that day.
Since I was no longer in contention to win, my goal was to catch enough bass to cash a check and to get Long his first bass in an Open tournament. I figured I needed 22 pounds or more. That's a tall order, but well within reason at Erie.
The weather laid down enough that I could easily fish my big-bass reefs. Unfortunately, my big bass were a no show. I caught four bass elsewhere, including one that weighed 5-2. I lost a few bass, but had nothing that would have pushed me over the 20-pound mark.
Long hung in all day and finally caught a smallmouth on a drop shot rig. He was happy to have it, and I was happy for him to have it. Even when things don't go your way, it's an amazing privilege to take on the challenge of fishing a Bassmaster Open. Long agrees.

Latest from The Spokesman-Review
Gregoire won't stop Cal Brown execution
OLYMPIA — Gov. Chris Gregoire said this afternoon she will not commute the sentence of Cal Brown for the torture, rape and murder of Holly Washa.
Brown, who confessed to the murder, was convicted and sentenced to death in 1994, and has lost subsequent appeals to overturn the sentence. The Clemency and Pardons Board split 2-2 last year on whether to commute the sentence; Gregoire said she reviewed the request and the record of the case and "found no basis to reverse his conviction or change the death sentence imposed by the jury."
He is scheduled to be executed Thursday night.

Now that Shawty Lo and Kidd Kidd are onboard with the Unit, they join Curtis in front of the camera for Yayo's new video. Big up to all their haters.
Tag: 50 cent
Still on their overseas escapades, 50's domain shares some live performances and behind the scenes action from their show at the Waterford Music Fest two weekends ago. Sidebar: 50 Cent To Launch Energy Shot
[vodpod id=Video.14886254&w=540&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26] Last night, Curtis and Banks headlined the 2011 DJ Expo concert at the House Of Blues in Atlantic City. Up top you can check out Banks performing "Start It Up" and after the jump some more footage of 50, Tony Yayo, Jeremih & Mann. hhnm
This leaked a few days back, but here's the sanctioned version of 50's new track. On a related note, Fif says he's cooking up some new material this week that will last the test of time.
50's got a chip on his shoulders. Via his Twitter account, Curtis revealed that he will not be releasing his fifth solo album. He also said he would leak Dr. Dre's next single. In the messages below, he explains why. Man I'm not releasing a album i can't believe interscope is this f*cked up right now. I apologize to all my fans.
Days after Bill O'Reilly invited 50 Cent to The O'Reilly Factor, Fif turned to his Twitter account yesterday and declined to appear on the show. He did however offer to take Fox News Contributor Laura Ingraham out on a date. Ha! People are so book smart its amazing they don't have common sense.

The fact is that, when I'm writing about a movie, I'm much less interested in telling you how good or bad it is than I am in justifying the time I spent watching it. As such, I'm looking for those points of interest — either contained in the film itself or in the circumstances of its production — that will make the whole endeavor seem worthwhile, and prevent me going to my grave fretting over how I could have better spent that six hours I invested in repeat viewings of Tahalka. Providing a break from the rigors of that approach are those occasions on which I encounter films whose WTF quotient is so high that they exist on a plane beyond simple judgments of good or bad–the mystery of whose very existence overshadows any questions of quality. Hanuman and the 7 Ultramen is such a film. And like another fine example of the species, the Turkish superhero mash-up 3 Dev Adam, Hanuman achieves that rarified WTF air by means of positioning some very familiar elements within a very foreign context. It's just hard to dismiss a shockingly gory movie that teams the world's most beloved giant Japanese superhero with the Hindu monkey god for not measuring up to some notional standard of "coherence" or "watchability". That's not to suggest, of course, that there aren't those who consider Hanuman and the 7 Ultramen bad — or who, in fact, revile it. None of them, however, are going to argue that it's not one weird little foo dog of a movie.
Category Archives: Film & TV
If you wanted to, it seems like you could draw up a sort of family tree of the films Indian superstar Amitabh Bachchan made during his late seventies to mid eighties prime, tracing each of those movies' origins along three very distinct lines, each leading back to a particular career-defining blockbuster that provided the template for much of what was to come. Of course, while Bachchan would star in films that were virtual remakes of Deewaar, Sholay and Don over the course of his career, the lines leading back to those three classics would not always be perfectly straight. For one would also have to consider films like 1978's Be-Sharam, which draw upon elements of all three.
Casus Kiran
It's hard to write about these old Turkish superhero movies–especially those directed by Yilmaz Atadeniz–without making reference to the Republic serials of the 1940s. The problem with doing so, however, is that many of you young people out there, with your newfangled transistor radios and souped-up hotrods, will have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. I suppose the appropriately curmudgeonly response to that would be to refuse to continue this review until you've educated yourselves on the topic, instead filling space with horrific, Andy Rooney-like ruminations on how butter doesn't taste the way it used to and why on earth is the print in Reader's Digest so small until you return with at least one complete viewing of The Perils of Nyoka or some-such under your belts. But, as much as the thought of such an exercise appeals to me, I'm afraid I can't do so in good conscience. The fact is that those serials were meant to be seen in a very specific context, a context which simply doesn't exist anymore. Despite what I said previously, I'm actually not old enough myself to have seen them as they were originally presented–i.e in weekly installments as part of a Saturday matinee at the local movie house presented to an audience that I imagine as being made up entirely of young boys in immaculate baseball caps and striped shirts with names like Skip, Biff and Scooter.
Event Horizon
It's not that Event Horizon isn't the kind of movie I would write about. Haunted spaceships and Sam Neill ripping out his own eyeballs is right up my alley. No, the reason isn't the content, but rather, that fact that this is one of those movies that already has a lot of words spent on it from a variety of sources both in the mainstream and in the realm of cult film fandom. Under such circumstances, it's hard to imagine what i might have to add that is new. In some cases, I can come up with something — some tiny, meaningless tidbit that is a throwaway line in a movie that then allows me to write endlessly on some idiotic and obscure point. But upon watching Event Horizon, I was left with a distinct lack of ideas when it came to thinking about how I might approach writing about this film with some degree of originality. And now that I've finished the first paragraph, I still have no idea, so with any luck, something will pop up as I stumble along.
The Moonstone
The Moonstone marks our first real foray into a universe in which we will be spending a lot of time: the Poverty Row thriller. An understanding of what Poverty Row was — if not an actual appreciation for its product — is an important part of any cult film education (and given the way you kids are allowed to make up any damn thing and call it a college major these days, you can probably go PhD in Cult Film Studies or some such nonsense, when you should be spending your time in college learning about Hammurabi, thermodynamics, and beer funnels), because Poverty Row is where the b-movie was born. So let's set the stage.
I once read a review on some site that contained the statement "Slaughtered Vomit Dolls is not for everyone", which is my favorite line ever from an online review of a cult movie. Not only is it admirable for being refreshingly direct, but also for how it so clearly provides the guidance that we depend on from such reviews. It makes you truly grateful that the internet exists, especially if you're one of those people who might otherwise have considered purchasing Slaughtered Vomit Dolls as a Mothers Day gift.
Delinquent Girl Boss: Blossoming Night Dreams
The Delinquent Girl Boss movies are just my speed, because as much as I hate to admit it, I'm a bit of a Pinky Violence lightweight. It's not that I don't like the genre. I do, very much. It's just that it's one that's so fraught with potential pitfalls that watching an unfamiliar entry can be a bit of a risky proposition. In my experience, the most successful PV films maintain an almost painfully delicate balance between sleaze and artistry, and those that don't leave me with nothing more than a ninety minute hole in my life and a feeling of being mildly pervy.
Continue reading Delinquent Girl Boss: Blossoming Night Dreams
Once you're done with the knowledge-based cherry picking, there are a wide variety of factors that come into play in deciding which are the potential gems among the selection of five dollar Bollywood dvds at your local Indian grocer or favorite online vendor. Familiar names or faces in the cast or crew of a film are always helpful, but there are also certain thematic or conceptual lures that might serve to tip the scales. In the case of Dharam-Veer, for instance, it certainly didn't hurt that the cast included the stunning Zeenat Aman–and while its male lead, Dharmendra, isn't one of my favorite actors, I do harbor a lot of good will toward him thanks to his co-starring role–with Amitabh Bachchan–in the classic Sholay, as well as his appearance in other highly enjoyable films such as Ankhen and Alibaba aur 40 Chor.
Phantom of Soho
There are a couple key themes that define Teleport City and to which I frequently refer. First among these is that Teleport City was always envisioned as a response to the taunt, "Get a life!" or, alternately, "Get a girlfriend!" Part of the reason the reviews I write so often diverge into tangential stories about silly adventures, history (both accurate and suspect), and the circumstances under which I've viewed these movies and how said circumstances have influenced my reactions is because I like to illustrate what I've learned and experienced first-hand from my many strange years in cult film fandom: that we do have lives, often exceptionally fun lives at that. The second of the over-arching themes that inform Teleport City is that you should be happy this is your hobby, because you will never want for new material. No matter how much you've seen, you've never seen it all, and you will discover new and amazing films from all over the world with pleasing regularity. Exploring these films leads, often, to exploring other cultures, other countries, other customs and histories, and learning about far more than simply the film you happen to be watching.
The lines between good and evil in Bollywood movies tend to be pretty broadly drawn, but never so broadly, it seems, as when the great Amrish Puri was cast as the villain. Deep of the voice, wild of the eye, and massive of the brow, Puri, though a versatile actor who played many diverse roles in his four decade career, truly made his mark with his portrayals of over-the-top bad guys in countless Bollywood action and masala movies (And yes, yes, I know…as Mola Ram in that Indiana Jones movie. Give it a rest, for chrissakes!). Many of these portrayals were iconic, but, while Puri would star in nearly four hundred films by the time of his death in 2005, there is one film for which he is remembered most of all.

Recent research has revealed that young people who have been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in childhood are more likely to develop sleep disorders.
Published in the May 1st issue of the Sleep journal and led by Dr Susan Shur-Fen Gau, associate professor at the College of Medicine and Public Health at National Taiwan University, the study found that 17 per cent of children with ADHD were exhibiting signs of primary insomnia.
Nightmare sleep disorder was experienced by 11 per cent of children with ADHD and this, along with other sleep disorders in children with ADHD, was attributed to a series of factors.
These were listed as hyperactivity, possible addiction to internet use, stimulant use or abuse and other psychiatric disorders.
Dr Gau commented: "In some patients with ADHD, symptoms are caused or exaggerated by primary sleep disorders, and therefore treatment of the sleep disorder will improve ADHD symptoms."
ADHD is a neurobehavioural developmental condition that affects up to five per cent of children throughout the world, with boys twice as likely to be diagnosed as girls.

Under the same ownership as the King William (see separate review), the Garrick's Head shares its commitment to real food & big flavours in unpretentious surroundings. Avoiding the formulaic
feel of recent gastropubs, it's a cheerfully idiosyncratic mix of pale pink walls, brass chandeliers, higgledy-piggledy mirrors & old plates. The food has an unmistakable air of authenticity,
eschewing Anglo-Med cliches in favour of gutsy British cooking. Dishes such as pigeon breast & walnut salad or braised breast & roast loin of lamb with cabbage & bacon sport deliciously
tender meat & finely tuned flavours. Puddings such as poached pears, ice cream & brandy snap & vanilla panna cotta & coffee syrup were well up to scratch, too. Bar snacks include

Hi All
Dd is crying more at school. Sigh. Today I got a call from her music teacher. Dd was asked to join choir. She sent a note home saying dd was not participating please speak to her. I asked dd and she said she was singing. But the music teacher said she was not and when she called her out dd started crying. She claims she looked distracted and was picking at a string on her shirt.
I asked dd if she wanted to join choir and she was so excited. I think the music teacher is clueless about sensory issues or she would have known to just give her a hand signal to pay attention instead of calling her out several times (that is when she cried).
It's not mandatory but dd wants to do this. However, I don't know the music teacher doesn't seem very aware of her issues.
What do you think?


text: Aman Batheja, Texas Tribune Lawmakers Protest Security Policy At Governor's Mansion By Aman Batheja, Texas Tribune • Feb 28, 2013 Bob Daemmrich/Texas Tribune Outraged members of the Texas Legislative Black Caucus left a reception at the Governor's Mansion this week after facing what they described as heavy-handed and offensive security procedures. One of the lawmakers said he won't return to the stately residence until the policy is changed. Lawmakers Hunt for Cash to Fix Roads Hit by Drilling By Aman Batheja, Texas Tribune • Jan 31, 2013 Todd Wiseman, Texas Tribune An assortment of state lawmakers, county officials and energy industry leaders are working this session to fix the growing number of roads torn up as a result of increased drilling activity. "Roads that are designed for a 20-year-life are being used in five years," said DeWitt County Judge Daryl Fowler, who is pressing Austin to come up with a fix this session on behalf of several counties in the Eagle Ford Shale. Combs: Lawmakers Will Have $101.4 Billion for Budget By Aman Batheja, Texas Tribune • Jan 7, 2013 Bob Daemmrich, Texas Tribune Listen Listening... / 4:38 KUT's Ben Philpott talks with KUT's Nathan Bernier about Combs' announcement. The Texas Legislature will have $101.4 billion to haggle over in crafting its next two-year budget, along with an extra $11.8 billion in the Rainy Day Fund, Comptroller Susan Combs announced Monday morning. (Listen to her full announcement here.) Combs' official biennial revenue estimate sets the limit of the state's general fund, the portion of the budget that lawmakers have the most control over. The general fund typically makes up nearly half of the state's total budget. Straus Says He's Ready for 'Serious' Session By Aman Batheja, Texas Tribune • Dec 12, 2012 Bob Daemmrich, Texas Tribune AUSTIN – Despite organized efforts to unseat him, Texas House Speaker Joe Straus said Wednesday he is confident his colleagues will re-elect him to the post so he can focus the 2013 legislative session on "serious issues" for a fast-growing state. Speaking to reporters after a luncheon held by the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce and Opportunity Austin, Straus said he enjoys the "vast majority of support from members of both parties," though he has not publicly released any names or a headcount to back it up. His opponent, state Rep. David Simpson, R-Longview, officially launched his campaign for speaker this week, and he has not released names or a headcount either. Calls for Reform of Incentive Programs Grow Louder By Aman Batheja, Texas Tribune • Dec 12, 2012 Todd Wiseman & Mikhail Popov, Texas Tribune The Texas approach to doling out financial incentives to businesses faced fire on multiple fronts Tuesday, adding momentum to calls for broad reform of the state's economic development programs. In the Capitol, the Senate Economic Development Committee discussed adding more transparency and accountability to the state's patchwork of incentive programs and heard support from attendees for such reforms. Incentives for Business Scrutinized in Texas By Aman Batheja, Texas Tribune • Dec 11, 2012 Todd Wiseman, Texas Tribune The billions of dollars in incentives that Texas hands out to businesses each year are set to draw fresh scrutiny this week on the heels of a New York Times series that raised new questions about the practice while also ruffling some feathers. On December 3, the Times devoted Part 2 of its three-part "United States of Subsidies" series to Texas. The article alleged that the state gives out $19.1 billion a year in business incentives, far more than any other state.

(Tom Dulat/Getty Images)UEFA announced that it will appeal the sanctions imposed on Serbia and England after racial chants by fans sparked a brawl among players and coaches, according to the Winnipeg Free Press. The incident occurred in October during an under-21 match between the two teams.The original sanctions were handed down by UEFA's own independent disciplinary panel and consisted of a $105,000 fine on the Football Association of Serbia, suspension of players and coaches, and playing a match in an empty stadium. Two English players also received bans.But in the wake of outrage over the perceived leniency of the sanctions--and comparisons to a $130,000 fine on Denmark's Nicklas Bendtner for wearing sponsored underpants--the organization hopes to send a message with stronger penalties."Having reviewed the motivated decisions for the sanctions imposed ... the UEFA disciplinary inspector felt it necessary to immediately confirm his intention to appeal on UEFA's behalf," European football's governing body said in a statement.Groups such as Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) also lobbied UEFA for more stringent punishment."UEFA now have an opportunity to send out a message," FARE executive director Piara Powar said. "It takes a lot of honesty and self-reflection to admit that one arm of the organization got it wrong ... what happened warranted a harder sanction." Promoted Stories Comments

From Our Editors
Inspired by the tenets of traditional Chinese medicine, Acupuncture Center's David and Kim Yoo strive to create balance and harmony in the body through non-Western medical techniques. Their hair-thin acupuncture needles unblock energy flow along the body's 71 meridians, and cupping sessions draw stagnant qi out from its nap on the soul's couch. The doctors Yoo also employ moxibustion, a 3,000-year old practice of applying a stick of burning mugwort over an acupuncture point to stimulate and strengthen the blood and life energy. Acupuncture Center works in conjunction with primary-care physicians, often receiving referrals from MDs and augmenting traditional treatments of maladies such as lower back pain, arthritis, migraines, and sleep disorders.

BETHESDA, Md. (July 31, 2012) Cold feetthose chilly appendages that plague many people in the winter and an unlucky few all year roundcan be the bane of existence for singles and couples alike. In a new study, scientists led by Selvi C. Jeyaraj of the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital have identified a biological mechanism that may be responsible for icy extremities: an interaction between a series of molecules and receptors on smooth muscle cells that line the skin's tiny blood vessels. The new research, along with an accompanying editorial by Martin C. Michel of Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, and Paul A. Insel of the University of California at San Diego, suggest new contributors to this near-universal problem and potential targets to treat more serious problems that affect blood vessels in the cold, such as in Raynaud's disease.
The article, entitled "Cyclic AMP-Rap1A Signaling Activates RhoA to Induce a2C-Adrenoceptor Translocation to the Cell Surface of Microvascular Smooth Muscle Cells" (http://bit.ly/N8ZzKh), appears in the Articles in PresS section of the American Journal of Physiology Cell Physiology (http://ajpcell.physiology.org/) published by the American Physiological Society. The accompanying editorial, "Can You Blame Cold Feet on Epac (and Rap1A)? Focus on "Cyclic AMP-Rap1A Signaling Activates RhoA to Induce α2C-adrenoceptor Translocation to the Cell Surface of Microvascular Smooth Muscle Cells," is also online (http://bit.ly/LYDXFd).
Jeyaraj and her colleagues studied smooth muscle cells derived from tiny blood vessels harvested from human skin biopsies and similar cells from mouse tail arteries. These cells contain receptors known as a2C-AR, which cause constriction in their associated blood

The photography on these is hideous.
"I love some things, and don't love some other things."
A very nice way to tie themselves to the everyday lives of New Yorkers. I think this is quite a smart campaign.
I love how simple and clever these are. The art could have been better though. The gravel should have covered the whole ad....Maybe the typo could be with chalk on the road, the pink liquid in the case of the feast ...so on and so forth.
Not all who wander are lost.
spot on..... a perfect "reason why", a perfect "call to action"......
